[12:07] <rebugger> james296: what do you mean with "maximize/minimize"?
[12:08] <james296> what I mean is when you minimize or maximize a window
[12:08] <Jack_Sparrow> rafaelscj:  /var/cache/apt/archives... and yes you can

[12:11] <aguitel> rebugger, my problem is a laptom with 64 ram memory (pentium 2) and i can not install xubuntu alternative cd
[12:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash
[12:11] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[12:11] <TerraMaster> thank you
[12:12] <rafaelscj> Jack_Sparrow, so I can use "Ctrl+c" "Ctrl+v"
[12:12] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[12:12] <rebugger> aguitel: take the server-cd - install server - so u have a minimal system with no GUI - then u could install fluxbox - its really leightweight
[12:12] <aguitel> rebugger , give me the link
[12:12] <stefg> !minimal | aguitel
[12:12] <ubotu> aguitel: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[12:12] <rafaelscj> Jack_Sparrow, to another computer and install
[12:13] <Jack_Sparrow> rafaelscj: I dont understand.. ctrl c and v  copy and paste what?

[12:23] <yeniklasorr> How can I start a new terminal session from command line?

[12:24] <ttuttle> Hey, I'm a Gentoo user, and I'm considering switching to Ubuntu 'cause it's just less hassle.  How is 64-bit support on Ubuntu?
[12:25] <m1x> ttuttle its working fine
[12:25] <troythetechguy> I'm running 6.10, and Kino continues to freeze when capturing video.  The Kino website shows version 1.1.1 was recently released.  How do I install the 1.1.1 version?
[12:25] <scipio> ttuttle, i didn't use it but from what i've heard it's so so. you'll have to fiddle around with some stuff. not all applications run in 64bit
[12:25] <ttuttle> scipio: Should I just run the 32-bit version?
[12:25] <yeniklasorr> scipio : I connected with ssh. I wanna use X. How can I use it ?
[12:26] <rexy_> troythetechguy,  you can either enable backports and install it from there or upgrade to a new ubuntu version
[12:26] <stefg> ttuttle: it's not so much a question of how ood *ubuntu* is at 64bit, but how to get the nonfree stuff to work (codecs, flash)
[12:26] <rexy_> you can enable backports just for that program but it might break stuff too
[12:26] <scipio> ttuttle, well as far as i know 64bit it's worth it only if you have lots of ram. over 3G. so yes
[12:26] <ttuttle> stefg: Yeah, Gentoo has the same issues.  My hope would be that, once Ubuntu solved them, they would simply be available or everyone.
[12:26] <troythetechguy> rexy_, At this time I'd like to wait for the next Ubuntu release, so how do i enable backports?
[12:26] <ttuttle> scipio: Oh, no no no... you get double the CPU registers, and they're twice as big.  So things run faster too.
[12:27] <m1x> ive got like only 1gb of ram and it seems to work fine so far..
[12:27] <rexy_> troythetechguy, the next TLS you mean?
[12:27] <stefg> ttuttle: that's a problem with the vendors, not with Linux in general. beerfree != speechfree
[12:27] <troythetechguy> rexy_, Just read your next post, I don't want to break anything!
[12:27] <troythetechguy> rexy_, Not sure what TLS is.
[12:27] <scipio> ttuttle, ooh :) then it depends how enthusiastic you are about making it work i guess :)
[12:28] <rexy_> you are running ubuntu 6.10 right, the current ubuntu version is 7.04
[12:28] <ttuttle> scipio: I've been running Gentoo ;-)
[12:28] <scipio> :)
[12:28] <rexy_> TLS is long support ubuntu, but i think thats 6.04 even
[12:28] <scatyb> can anyone help me with a grub problem?
[12:28] <troythetechguy> As an alternative, does anyone know of a reliable video capture application, besides Kino?
[12:28] <scipio> !ask | scatyb
[12:28] <ubotu> scatyb: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:28] <yeniklasorr> scipio : I connected with ssh. I wanna use X. How can I use it ?
[12:28] <ubuntufan> hello guys ...
[12:29] <ubuntufan> where can i find my windows partitions ?
[12:29] <scatyb> I can't get the grub menu.  when I boot up, all I get it grub?
[12:29] <rexy_> troythetechguy, in your repository's you can add backports as a section, and then update kino, but quite likely it will require a fair amount of other packages to be updated
[12:29] <scatyb> *brub>\
[12:29] <scatyb> *grub>
[12:29] <MajorVictory> i think i erased myself....
[12:29] <MajorVictory> anyone here know much about restoring a partition?
[12:29] <scipio> yeniklasorr, i'm not sure. i'm only answering to simpler questions :) i don't have much experience yet
[12:30] <ubuntufan> can you guys please tell me where can i find my linux partitions ?
[12:30] <stefg> !testdisk
[12:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about testdisk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:30] <gnuskool> MajorVictory, whats the prob?
[12:30] <ubuntufan> aaa windows
[12:30] <stefg> !info testdisk
[12:30] <ubotu> 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
[12:30] <MajorVictory> well i was trying to install ubuntu
[12:30] <yeniklasorr> ok
[12:30] <scipio> ubuntufan, are you dual booting?
[12:30] <ubuntufan> what is that ?
[12:30] <MajorVictory> wait a sec
[12:30] <gnuskool> MajorVictory, what happened?
[12:31] <MajorVictory> i'll brb
[12:31] <scipio> ubuntufan, are you using more than one OS on the same machine? like windows?
[12:31] <MajorVictory> i gotta sweitch to another computer
[12:31] <ubuntufan> scipio, i have windows on a hard drive, and ubuntu on another
[12:31] <scatyb> how can I get the grub boot menu back?
[12:31] <scipio> ubuntufan, you can fix grub from the livecd. let me give you a link
[12:31] <Yarcanox> how can I search for folders
[12:31] <ubuntufan> aaaa i don`t have a problem with grub ..
[12:31] <Yarcanox> the search seems only to cover files
[12:32] <ubuntufan> i want to listen music with XMMS from my other drive
[12:32] <m1x> oh my gosh beryl is 2 sexy
[12:32] <rexy_> troythetechguy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports explains how to do backports
[12:32] <scipio> ubuntufan, ooh. i'm answering to the wrong person. lol. sorry
[12:32] <KlrSpz> where's the best repo to get kibadock from?
[12:33] <scipio> scatyb, here is a link to fix your grub: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=recover+grub
[12:33] <KlrSpz> scatyb: didn't fix it?
[12:33] <scatyb> I've done "root (hd0,0)" "setup (hd0,0)" and still nothing.  I get grub> upon reboot
[12:33] <ubuntufan> so.. how can i access a windows partition ?
[12:33] <Sivik> ubuntufan, remotely or locally?
[12:34] <ubuntufan> locally
[12:34] <KlrSpz> scatyb: that's cuz that's wrong
[12:34] <scatyb> haha...i'm so retarded
[12:34] <KlrSpz> it's *root (hd0,0)* and *setup (hd0)
[12:34] <KlrSpz> not hd0,0 on setup
[12:34] <scatyb> hrm
[12:34] <Sivik> ubuntufan: mount -t ntfs /dev/device /mnt/location
[12:34] <stefg> scatyb: i guess this is a problem with the bios. the disk order flips during boot, so grub never see its config file
[12:34] <ubuntufan> just that ?
[12:35] <Sivik> unless you want rw and then you have to use ntfs3g or something along those lines
[12:35] <KlrSpz> ntfs-3g for the win
[12:35] <VSpike> stefg: will it play video and do photo display just as well as the binary?
[12:35] <Sivik> ubuntufan, KlrSpz is correctly
[12:35] <ubuntufan> :) aah .. i have 3 windows partions...
[12:35] <scatyb> thanks klrspz....I'll reboot and see if that does it.
[12:35] <Nu11> I'm having problems installing 7.04 server on a PowerMac G5.  Is this the right place to ask some questions?
[12:35] <ubuntufan> So, please give me the correct cmd.. please!
[12:35] <inAbsurdum> ubuntufan: if you want to read/write to the windows disk you need to install ntfsprogs. sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
[12:36] <ZaZall> hehe
[12:36] <KlrSpz> what do you people use for htpc's that's NOT myth
[12:36] <rexy_> think so Nu11
[12:36] <stefg> VSpike: unless you don't need realplayer, w32codecs or flash, 64bit is as good as 32 bit. It's just some hassle to have a 32bit chroot for all the stuff not available for 64bit
[12:36] <ZaZall> Looks like there are more pple here with ntfs disks on ubuntu
[12:36] <Calix> ive got a question about managing splash screens/themes, whats the best utility to do it with?
[12:36] <Nu11> The main problem is that the G5 uses a k2 Broadcom SATA controller, so I can't get the installer to mount the CD or hard drive.
[12:36] <ubuntufan> inAbsurdum, ok, now what?
[12:36] <Thursty> ok for some reason the ati driver isn't all correct
[12:37] <Nu11> There doesn't seem to be a stat_svw module with the installer...?
[12:37] <VSpike> stefg: sorry, I was asking about free nvidia driver versus binary driver
[12:37] <inAbsurdum> ubuntufan: after installing ntfsprogs/ntfs-3g then you can either mount manually each time you want to, or edit the /etc/fstab file to mount the drives every time you log in.
[12:37] <snooo> hi
[12:37] <Thursty> anyone know how to install a driver for linux
[12:37] <Sivik> Thursty, what kind of driver?
[12:37] <Thursty> video
[12:37] <KlrSpz> Thursty: usually you have to compile it against the kernel headers
[12:37] <inAbsurdum> thursty what video card?
[12:37] <ubuntufan> inAbsurdum, and how do i mount?
[12:38] <snooo> i have a USB phone, works as an USB audio device, and the volume for the microphone constnatly resets to 0. it used to work fine. any ideas what could be causing a problem?
[12:38] <stefg> VSpike: i'm not sure if xv video works, but for 'office'-use you should be fine with it
[12:38] <Thursty> radeon 9000 pro
[12:38] <Sivik> !ati | Thursty
[12:38] <ubotu> Thursty: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:38] <rexy_> Nu11, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[12:38] <Thursty> that doesn't help me
[12:38] <Thursty> i try to do it and it says i don't have any drivers that need it
[12:38] <inAbsurdum> ubuntufan: do you know what the drives are listed as? (/etc/hda2 for example)
[12:38] <Nu11> Yeah, I already went through that and it didn't have anything specific on the G5.
[12:38] <troy-> how can i create a script that runs at SSH login?
[12:39] <ubuntufan> yep
[12:39] <Nu11> Is it just not supported yet?
[12:39] <Thursty> but anyways i screwed up my xorg.conf and can't boot into it
[12:39] <Sivik> Thursty, you know there is a way to fix that right
[12:39] <Nu11> (although it says *ALL* NewWorld Macs should be supported)
[12:39] <ubuntufan> itz /etc/hdc2
[12:39] <inAbsurdum> ok, so open your /etc/fstab file (sudo gedit /etc/fstab)
[12:39] <Sivik> Thursty, something like dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver
[12:39] <snooo> any ideas?
[12:39] <Sivik> or something along those lines
[12:39] <Thursty> i tried sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:39] <Thursty> and it didn't restore it
[12:40] <Sivik> Thursty, do the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:40] <Thursty> ok 1 sec
[12:40] <Calix> could anyone tell me what the program/mod is in this screenshot which embeds system statistics into the desktop? http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/images/shots/exoduz_fluxbox.jpg
[12:40] <ubuntufan> and.. ?
[12:40] <Thursty> but is there any way to install an ati driver into kernel or w/e
[12:40] <rexy_> Nu11, well the controller appears to be supported in linux, not sure why it wont work with your ubuntu though
[12:40] <Thursty> cause the performance is really horrible
[12:41] <rexy_> can you boot the livecd and access the disks?
[12:41] <MajorVictory> ok i'm back
[12:41] <inAbsurdum> ubuntufan: add a new line for each drive: /dev/harddisk ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 8change the drivename to corresponding and the locale to another one if you're not in the US)
[12:41] <Sivik> Thursty, your not going to get much better, ati and linux aren't grand, i have a express 200m and can't get over like 200 fps with glxgears
[12:41] <Nu11> hmmm
[12:42] <MajorVictory> so anyways ithink i erased myself
[12:42] <ubuntufan> and after that i have to reboot ?
[12:42] <MajorVictory> i was installing ubunut, and when it came to the partition part,
[12:42] <Nu11> The problem seems to be that the sata-svw driver doesn't seem to be part of the liveCd installation.
[12:42] <Blauhaut> Guys how can i see my tvcard chipset ?
[12:42] <MajorVictory> i accidentally clicked "edit" instead if right-slicking and add
[12:42] <inAbsurdum> ubuntufan: nope, just save the file and then type in terminal: sudo umount -a &&sudo mount -a
[12:42] <Slart> Calix: hmm.. I've tried that.. hmm.. what was it called.. I think it was in the repos
[12:42] <Thursty> the dpkg thing doesn't work
[12:43] <Thursty> it says can't open display
[12:43] <ubuntufan> device busy .. x5
[12:43] <exsequor_> Does anyone know any really good Gnome themes?
[12:43] <Blauhaut> How can i see my TVcard Chipset ?
[12:43] <MajorVictory> who was it who was going to help me with my partition problem?
[12:43] <rexy_> Nu11, do you get any errors, can you do an lspci and paste the exact type of the controller, also you can look in dmesg to see what drivers were loaded
[12:43] <Blauhaut> exsequor_;  check gnome-look.org
[12:43] <inAbsurdum> ubuntufan: yeah, that's normal. do the umount -a first, then mount -a
[12:43] <ubuntufan> same thing
[12:44] <ZaZall> I have a problem with a ntfs disk that i whant read/write permission on. i've got ntfsprogs, ntfs-3g, ntfs-config. ive also added /dev/hdb1   /media/hdb1   ntfs-3g   defaults,locale=en_US.utf8   0   0 to my /etc/fstab file. but it just won't work. any ideas ?
[12:44] <ubuntufan> mount: mount point ntfs-3g does not exist
[12:44] <Thursty> bah
[12:44] <inAbsurdum> ahyeah, sorry, you need to specify a mountpoint.
[12:44] <Thursty> i'm just gonna switch back to windows
[12:44] <Thursty> thx for helpin
[12:44] <Blauhaut> ubuntufan;  mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/ITEM /media/ITEM -o force
[12:45] <MajorVictory> can anyone help me restore a partition?
[12:45] <stefg> ZaZall: the filesystem might be unclean. If so then ntfs-3g switches to readonly to not damage the filesystem further
[12:45] <Nu11> rexy: just a minute.
[12:45] <inAbsurdum> sudo mkdir /media/windows1 for example
[12:45] <rexy_> MajorVictory, restore a partition how?
[12:45] <Sivik> you can also do a force and it doesn't matter if its dirty
[12:45] <Sivik> but that might really screw stuff up
[12:45] <rexy_> i was just about to say, heh
[12:46] <ubuntufan> mount: mount point /media/hdc1 does not exist
[12:46] <MajorVictory> well i was installing ubuntu
[12:46] <Blauhaut> ZaZall; try that $ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 -o force
[12:46] <rexy_> ubuntufan do you have sata or parrallel ata?
[12:46] <MajorVictory> and when i came to the partitioning par6t i clicked edit
[12:46] <ZaZall> stefg. so a chkdsk then i guess.
[12:46] <MajorVictory> instead of add
[12:46] <ubuntufan> ata
[12:46] <Blauhaut> ZaZall; ok ?
[12:46] <inAbsurdum> you need to create the folder first :)
[12:46] <ZaZall> Blauhaut: oki.
[12:46] <stefg> ZaZall: right, but from windows. There is no ntfs checking util in Linux
[12:46] <ubuntufan> that`s for me inAbsurdum  ?
[12:46] <rexy_> MajorVictory, and now?
[12:46] <MajorVictory> so now my main partition, with the windows system on it, isn't recognized as ntfs, but rather swap
[12:46] <Blauhaut> ZaZall; call me if it is ok
[12:46] <inAbsurdum> ubuntufan: yeah.
[12:47] <rexy_> ah
[12:47] <Slart> Calix: I think it's conky.. check this screenshot (bottom one) http://www.ubuntugeek.com/conky-a-light-weight-system-monitor-for-ubuntu-linux-systems.html
[12:47] <inAbsurdum> ubuntufan: create a folder, for example sudo mkdir /media/windows1
[12:47] <rexy_> well as long as you didnt boot you can toggle it back to a windows partition
[12:47] <MajorVictory> it took litearlly 2 seconds before an error occured and then it told me the partition called with swap was empty
[12:47] <ZaZall> Blauhaut: NTFS signature is missing.
[12:47] <ZaZall> that strange.
[12:47] <Slart> Calix: but I seem to recall that it wasn't so light-weight.. well.. you give it a try yourself
[12:47] <ubuntufan> done inAbsurdum
[12:47] <rexy_> can you edit that particular partition and set it back to ntfs or whatever it was?
[12:47] <Blauhaut> ZaZall; try to install ntfs-3g package ok ?
[12:48] <MajorVictory> i can't
[12:48] <ubuntufan> mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdc1 /media/windows1 -o force ?
[12:48] <ZaZall> Blauhaut: ntfs-3g is installed.
[12:48] <rexy_> are you still in the partitioning section?
[12:48] <MajorVictory> the power flickered and the computer shutdown
[12:48] <ZaZall> /who Blauhaut
[12:48] <MajorVictory> so i think i got screwed
[12:48] <RenatoSilva> I have a curious problem
[12:48] <inAbsurdum> then add it in your /etc/fstab line: /dev/hdb1 /media/windows1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US,UTF-8 0 0
[12:48] <Blauhaut> ubuntufan; sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdc1 /media/windows1 -o force
[12:48] <rexy_> MajorVictory, did you try to boot windows?
[12:48] <Blauhaut> ZaZall; umm that is so strange
[12:48] <MajorVictory> i did and it won't even recognize the partition
[12:48] <ubuntufan> mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-3g'
[12:49] <Blauhaut> ZaZall; try to remove it
[12:49] <MajorVictory> it only looks at the other one that was on the disk
[12:49] <MajorVictory> the one with no os on it...
[12:49] <apropos> totem has never, ever, ever worked.
[12:49] <Blauhaut> ubuntufan; sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[12:49] <rexy_> MajorVictory, you can boot the livecd, go into the partitioning tool again and put the partition back to ntfs
[12:49] <apropos> after years of trying. Why is it in ubuntu again?
[12:49] <MajorVictory> i hooked it up to another XP computer and looked at the partition, windows doesn't recognize the partition type, but it does know it's there
[12:49] <Nu11> rexy, lspci = 0001:05:0c.0 IDE Interface: Broadcom K2 SATA
[12:49] <Blauhaut> ZaZall; try to remove all ntfs packages and install them again
[12:49] <ubuntufan> jesus Failed to access '/dev/hdc1': No such file or directory
[12:50] <rexy_> yeah you need to change that MajorVictory
[12:50] <MajorVictory> i tried but the option to use ntfs wasn't in the menu
[12:50] <GNine> after crashing my puters xserver 3 times, i decided i better leave the installation of compiz for way later
[12:50] <rexy_> do you know what the partition is called in linux?
[12:50] <Blauhaut> ZaZall;  and do not forget to check autoremove
[12:50] <Blauhaut> ubuntufan; sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[12:50] <Blauhaut> ubuntufan; sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdc1 /media/windows1 -o force

[01:09] <paulcooperorama> rexy -- I am trying to add IE for some school stuff
[01:09] <RenatoSilva> I use APTonCD to cache my updates and extras, but sometimes I install stuff that I don't want anymore. For example, I've installed FlightGear that come with a lot of dependencies. But I've noticed that now my CD is busy, and I don't want this game anymore. The question is: how to remove a package AND its dependencies???
[01:09] <Gnea> !ask
[01:09] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[01:19] <apropos> paulcooperorama: set a root password and login as root. Then you can do anything.
[01:20] <apropos> you might wish you hadn't, but you'll be able to. :-)
[01:20] <RoAkSoAx> AcidMaX, try howtoforge.com
[01:20] <paulcooperorama> how do you log in as root
[01:20] <sal> hello
[01:20] <astro76> !sudo | paulcooperorama
[01:20] <ubotu> paulcooperorama: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:20] <paulcooperorama> if I try it tells me that root can not log on
[01:20] <apropos> paulcooperorama: you set a root password, and then you can login as that. sudo is much better, tho.
[01:20] <astro76> paulcooperorama, there's no need to set a root password, and it's not recommended
[01:20] <bkj> NOwone can help me for the resolution problem ????
[01:21] <Blauhaut> mrksbrd; /dev/sdb1      /media/usbhd     ntfs-3g    rw,user,auto    0       0

[01:21] <available> paulcooperorama,  all i can say is u might want to do a total reinstall of ubuntu and make a user account and password
[01:21] <bruenig> it is necessary for some things
[01:21] <bruenig> if for instance you use the slim login manager

[01:23] <bkj> I have installed ubuntu on VirtualBox and everything was ok but at the end i choosed only 800x600 and 640x480 resolutions, now i need 1024x768
[01:23] <bkj> help
[01:23] <bkj> help
[01:23] <available> paulcooperorama,  yes but being root is so bad its so very easy to mess things up and crash something
[01:23] <Blauhaut> paulcooperorama; write su on shell
[01:24] <ckin2001> why is being root bad?
[01:24] <Blauhaut> ckin2001;  easy to mess
[01:24] <astro76> ckin2001, it's explained on the RootSudo page
[01:24] <available> ckin2001,  cause u can easly mess something up unlike reg user u haev to type sudo
[01:24] <Scunizi> ckin2001, because most forget to exit leaving your sys wide open.. sudo is temporary
[01:25] <Blauhaut> good timing :P
[01:25] <paulcooperorama_> wow what happened there
[01:25] <Scunizi> you left
[01:25] <paulcooperorama_> me no
[01:25] <ckin2001> ahhh, protect you from yourself
[01:25] <Scunizi> you right?
[01:25] <available> exactly ckin2001
[01:25] <_gpg_> hello
[01:25] <paulcooperorama_> ok so where did I go?
[01:25] <paulcooperorama_> any rate
[01:25] <Scunizi> away
[01:26] <_gpg_> i'm looking for a debian package of sunbird, does it exist please ?
[01:26] <available> hi there _gpg_

[01:26] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[01:26] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, the other you is still connected ;)
[01:26] <bruenig> Scunizi, most forget to exit, haven't heard that one before
[01:26] <RoAkSoAx> _gpg_, go to packages.ubuntu.com
[01:26] <paulcooperorama_> ok so how does one log on as either root or sudu
[01:26] <dcordes> !hdd
[01:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hdd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:26] <Scunizi> bruenig, you like that? :)
[01:26] <astro76> !sudo | paulcooperorama_
[01:26] <ubotu> paulcooperorama_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:26] <ckin2001> @bruenig - thats the only one that seemed reasonable
[01:26] <dcordes> How can I find out which /dev/x a device is getting assigned to?
[01:26] <dcordes> usb hdd
[01:26] <ckin2001> lsusb?
[01:26] <Actionman> what do this mean and how do i fix this: Aug 26 18:24:20 bknox-laptop firmware_helper[23104] : main: error loading '/lib/firmware/bcm43xx_microcode5.fw' for device '/class/firmware/0000:06:02.0' with driver '(unknown)'
[01:26] <koshari> paulcooperorama_ you dont log on as root, you simply prefix root commands with sudo
[01:26] <bruenig> ckin2001, I think the more likely reason is that being this is meant to be a beginner distro, the multiple users and the multi lever permissions is not something they want to burden users with
[01:27] <RenatoSilva> RoAkSoAx: only from Feisty right????
[01:27] <paulcooperorama_> I have looked at that
[01:27] <_gpg_> !opensync-plugin-sunbird
[01:27] <bruenig> level*
[01:27] <Scunizi> bruenig, perhaps I'm wrong but if you "su" in the terminal you have root priv. until you "exit".  Right?
[01:27] <available> koshari,  he cant do sudo
[01:27] <bruenig> Scunizi, yeah, but I don't think most people forget to exit
[01:27] <mrksbrd> Blauhaut, still showing root for a user, but @ least now it's letting me write to it
[01:27] <koshari> available is he a mamber of the sudo users?
[01:27] <dcordes> !dev
[01:27] <ubotu> Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment

[01:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about device - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:28] <Blauhaut> mrksbrd; ehe
[01:28] <paulcooperorama_> so if I wanna change the permissions of all of the filesystem how do I do that in term
[01:28] <dcordes> !harddiskdrive
[01:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about harddiskdrive - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:28] <available> koshari,  no it sayes he does not have write permision
[01:28] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, why do you think you need to do this?
[01:28] <Scunizi> paulcooperorama, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
[01:28] <bruenig> paulcooperorama_, be careful

[01:29] <AskJeeves> If I am about to install a net wireless card, what preperations do i need to do? I will not have access to the internet if something goes wrong.

[01:29] <nathan__> what's it called in beryl where you move mouse to the top right of screen and it shows active windows again? is that scale?
[01:30] <bjames> right, I've got a Sony laptop and after some messing about I've got the screen brightness working, although the only way I can change the brightness is with a bash script - is there a way I can bind the script to a given shortcut key combination?
[01:30] <w1nst0n> chainloader +2?
[01:30] <AskJeeves> bruenig, where are the docs for that please
[01:30] <bruenig> ward_, of course I haven't anything better to do, if I had something better to do I wouldn't  be in here
[01:30] <Blauhaut> mrksbrd; than what is the problem ?
[01:30] <apropos> AskJeeves: have ndiswrapper installed and the windows drivers available, check linux hardware databases, etc. Maybe try with a live CD so you don't nuke a configuration?
[01:30] <bruenig> AskJeeves, what card is it?
[01:30] <Yarcanox> how can I seach for folders
[01:30] <AskJeeves> umm... one sec.

[01:37] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[01:37] <Trey> Can you show us the output of the 'mount' command on your system?
[01:37] <apropos> paulcooperorama_: if you want to install IE6, I'd suggest using something like crossover office.

[01:37] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[01:37] <bruenig> inbitado34, I doubt that that is what caused it
[01:37] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 no
[01:37] <apropos> is IE6 supported under feisty?
[01:37] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 either orama or paul is fine
[01:38] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, how are you doing it, because IE is a windows program, not linux
[01:38] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 I know it is MS
[01:38] <paulcooperorama_> I have some school stuff that needs IE
[01:38] <Scunizi> apropos, never.... directly.... you must use wine and ies4linux
[01:38] <ckin2001> ie works in wine, but its dirty
[01:38] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, so then what were you trying to edit that you needed to change permissions?
[01:38] <ckin2001> try #winehq
[01:39] <inbitado34> bruenig, don't know really eather
[01:39] <apropos> but it is supported, with the correct packags?
[01:39] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 the /etc/apt folder
[01:39] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, you might look into "IEs 4 Linux" which will easily setup a few versions of IE with wine (windows emulator for linux)
[01:39] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, ok, there's no reason to do that
[01:40] <rstewpowe> is crossover linux worth it?
[01:40] <Scunizi> apropos, when answering a post please include the nick of the person in the text to "beep" that person..
[01:40] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 I can not add wine either without changing this folder
[01:40] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, what file do you need to edit?
[01:40] <Scunizi> apropos, you can find out about ie on linux here.. http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/news/
[01:40] <meoblast001> yay
[01:41] <Jack_Sparrow> ie4linux is another bad idea...  ask #winehq their opinion
[01:41] <meoblast001> i have finally found out how to do on linux the only 2 things that kept me using windows
[01:41] <m1x> !ntfsfix
[01:41] <Scunizi> paulcooperorama, did you use synaptic to get wine or did you download it directly?
[01:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfsfix - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:41] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 the /etc/apt/sourse.list folder
[01:41] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, so then do : gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:41] <Scunizi> Jack_Sparrow, good for testing and that's about it.
[01:42] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, when prompted for password, enter your user password
[01:42] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 there are other files for school that I need to change around as well
[01:42] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, stuff is owned by root for a reason, so you can't accidentally screw up your system, not to mention the whole security of a linux/unix system
[01:42] <meoblast001> if Metacity doesn't recognize a window do i just leave it be?
[01:42] <m1x> need some advice here... what would be the best music player?
[01:42] <ben_> I just changed my login password. I'm the only user on this computer. Will the password requested everytime I do sudo also change?
[01:42] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, you just use sudo or gksudo when you need to edit stuff with root permissions
[01:42] <available> paulcooperorama_,  i sent u a pm please take a look
[01:42] <w1nst0n> nevermind..
[01:42] <SOARain> join
[01:42] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 some in the /etc folder but others as well
[01:42] <mmvii> meoblast how do you mean?
[01:42] <Jack_Sparrow> winehq walked me through what I needed to to when I had a program that required IE...  It didnt need to be installed...  just parts...
[01:43] <ben_> nevermind
[01:43] <mhiku> what software can i install to many computers to combine their memory, ram and harddisk space using lan to be like one super computer or virtualize
[01:43] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, that warning you posted before when you did gksudo gedit, that is perfeclty normal and it will work fine
[01:43] <meoblast001> mmvii: metacity doesn't recognize FL Studio.. the application is always on top and is not recognized by the window selector
[01:43] <Scunizi> m1x, Amorak, vlc, rhymbox etc.. totally your choice.
[01:43] <paulcooperorama_> available how do I recieve the pm?
[01:44] <meoblast001> mmvii: it isn't much of a problem but if i could fix it i wouldn't have to resize it just to save a file
[01:44] <Scunizi> m1x, got an ipod?... amorak
[01:44] <WombRaider> which 3d environment do you guys use?
[01:44] <WombRaider> beryl, compiz, etc
[01:44] <m1x> Scunizi nah, but a Sansa, thanks thou buddy
[01:44] <available> paulcooperorama_,  look un the left side box should say #ubuntu and thn myname

[01:46] <necro_> can someone help me connect 2 external hard drives via usb to samba?
[01:46] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 -- is there a way to change this???
[01:46] <necro_> I added them to my smb.conf, but no go.
[01:46] <meoblast001> mmvii: well its a Windows app that doesnt even have a standard windows title bar
[01:46] <paulcooperorama_> other than that I have to go back to fedora 5 and try to install nic drivers for this laptop
[01:47] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, you're not understanding what I'm saying I guess
[01:47] <airstrike> hello
[01:47] <available> hello airstrike
[01:48] <matt3453> anyone know why flash in firefox would work fine, but not play audio?
[01:48] <airstrike> how come my clock says 20:47 and gaim shows 15:47?
[01:48] <lashmoove> what's up with the missing text and underscores using wine to run windows apps?
[01:48] <Scunizi> paulcooperorama_, let me give this a shot... your "home" directory you have control over... totally.. without root.  system files or installation of programs requires "root" access acheived by typing "sudo command"
[01:48] <available> airstrike,  what one is right ur gaim or ur one on toolbar?
[01:49] <meoblast001> lashmoove: Wine is misterious... i have an app that makes words look highlighted after rolling off of them
[01:49] <airstrike> toolbar is right
[01:49] <mmvii> meoblast001 I'm guessing you're using wine
[01:49] <meoblast001> yup
[01:49] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 I understand what you are saying I guess I am not making myself clear
[01:49] <TheManiacKY> Question: Is there an easy way to make Open Office export straight to GOogle Docs? Instead of having to save the file navigate to the web site pick the file to upload and etc.  File,Export to Google Docs would be ideal. Anyone see such a thing?
[01:49] <airstrike> toolbar is set to sync with servers
[01:49] <available> airstrike,  then in the toolbar in gaim should be a way to tune it to the right time
[01:49] <paulcooperorama_> I am an adult student
[01:49] <mmvii> No window decoration?
[01:49] <Scunizi> TheManiacKY, that and calendar sync would be great
[01:49] <meoblast001> mmvii: no
[01:49] <apropos> TheManiacKY: sounds like a great idea for a plugin for open office...
[01:49] <paulcooperorama_> I have to have a form of linux up and running stable
[01:50] <airstrike> it's as if gaim didn't accept any changes
[01:50] <meoblast001> mmvii: its a program called FL Studio if you ever worked with it
[01:50] <lashmoove> meoblast001, oh. ok I know its very buggy and unsuported, but i just installed wine-doors and fired up ei just to see if it worked.. and I can barely read anything
[01:50] <emiliano> buenas
[01:50] <airstrike> if i change my toolbar clock to, say, 21:47 (an hour later), gaim still gives me the same time
[01:50] <paulcooperorama_> but I also need to be able to change files Fedora 5 can do that
[01:50] <available> matt3453,  install the flashplayer plug in google that up and download the open source one
[01:50] <available> airstrike,  no its in ur gaim box
[01:50] <meoblast001> lashmoove: oh that sucks... wish i could help... im having Wine problems too now
[01:50] <apropos> airstrike: sounds like gaim isn't reading your time zone information correctly.
[01:50] <lashmoove> meoblast001, im sure im not the only one to experience this, so I then grabbed all the fonts from my windows machine, and the system folder and system32, but still no luck
[01:50] <paulcooperorama_> is it possible to change the filesystem folder so I am in control of it
[01:50] <mmvii> I know the app - not clear on why metacity isn't handling it
[01:50] <Manignug> I have a tutorial and a configure.sh file that tries to do a ./configure. I get an error ./configure not found. am i missing a build package?
[01:51] <airstrike> i can't find any options on gaim to set a new time
[01:51] <lashmoove> meoblast001, ok ill post on the forums then
[01:51] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, why can't you use gksudo gedit?
[01:51] <paulcooperorama_> if I mess it up I can reload it and start over
[01:51] <necro_> Can anyone help getting external usb drives working with samba?  I added them in smb.conf, but no luck.
[01:51] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 -- for every change??
[01:51] <available> airstrike, is should be beside accounts or buddies
[01:51] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, how often do you think you need to change system administration stuff? not often
[01:52] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 -- as I said I am an adult student. I change things quite often. saving things all the while
[01:52] <available> necro_,  sorry i cant get my usb ports to work at all lol
[01:52] <necro_> :P
[01:52] <airstrike> i have tools next to accounts, which gives me preferences/plugins/privacy/file transfers/system log
[01:52] <apropos> paulcooperorama_: you could always create a launcher that launched your editor with gksudo...
[01:52] <koshari> paulcooperorama you are in control of the filesystem if you have the root password, siply use sudo
[01:52] <astro76> paulcooperorama_, in fedora you were probably logged in as root, in X, which is the worst security risk ever.. Ubuntu enforces good system admin practice
[01:53] <Scunizi> paulcooperorama_, try gksudo nautilus, find your directories or files, right mouse click and choose properties. In there will be a place to change permissions.
[01:53] <uavstrebe> how can i get apt-get to work in recovery mode?
[01:53] <available> airstrike,  if if u dont see the time change int here somewhere i got no idea never messed with it i use pidgin and mine is synced to the toolbar
[01:53] <airstrike> should i move over to pidgin?
[01:54] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 -- I can not find drivers for this machine for fedora 5 for the nic
[01:54] <airstrike> this is really ticking me off
[01:54] <meoblast001> airstrike: alll i saw was move to pidgin and i recomend Kopete
[01:54] <Sivik> airstrike, what seems to be your problem?
[01:54] <available> its up to u airstrike  i got the .deb one to auto install
[01:54] <super61> i have been installing this OS forever is it going to be slow on running?   the OS is ubuntu 7.04 alternative
[01:54] <Sivik> super61, what are your system specs?
[01:54] <meoblast001> airstrike: Gaim has problems and pidgin isnt much different
[01:54] <available> Sivik,  his time is not synced with the time on the toolbar
[01:54] <airstrike> sivik: time in gaim isn't the same as toolbar time
[01:54] <Fezzler> How do I check the settings of a ttyUSB0 port...meaning 9600-8-N-1-XON etc?
[01:54] <kkathman> Ive had no such problems with gaim  or pidgin actually
[01:54] <super61> hp N3390 128 mb 600mkz
[01:54] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 I am trying to learn how to become an administrator the instructor has been trying to shove fedora down my throat
[01:55] <Sivik> airstrike, i would go to kopete, thats what i use on my ubuntu box and my winblows 2k3 box at work
[01:55] <airstrike> i'll give it a whirl
[01:55] <paulcooperorama_> astro76 if I can not change these permissions I can not continue to use ubuntu...
[01:55] <kkathman> kopete is more kde-based however
[01:55] <available> paulcooperorama_,  can u send me a pm? or is ur name not registered
[01:55] <airstrike> yeah
[01:55] <airstrike> im still a noob when it comes to kde/gnome stuff
[01:55] <apropos> the URL the bot gives out for searching factoids appears to be invalid.
[01:55] <kkathman> kopete isnt a very stable program imho
[01:55] <gnuskool> super61, on what system? mine runs quick
[01:55] <paulcooperorama_> available what is a pm?
[01:56] <airstrike> don't know whether or not choosing something kde-based should be a problem or not
[01:56] <available> paulcooperorama_,  its a private message
[01:56] <kenvy> I guess I timed out
[01:56] <super61> gnuskool: a laptop
[01:56] <bigfuzzyjesus> lappys are teh hax
[01:56] <airstrike> haha
[01:56] <gnuskool> super61, it will probably run faster once installed
[01:56] <available> airstrike,  i use gnome but have  a few kde things installed and working fine
[01:56] <kkathman> airstrike:  when im using kde I still use gaim/pidgin much less overhead and more reliable over the years.
[01:56] <super61> gnuskool: ok
[01:56] <super61> i hope
[01:56] <kkathman> but thats just my experience
[01:57] <paulcooperorama_> available --- i click on your name right?
[01:57] <kenvy> anyone know how to get rid of the following problem: Listening to music and running TeamSpeak simultaneously won't work, because the media player says audio device is in use

[01:57] <kkathman> the new pidign plugins are very nice also :)
[01:57] <apropos> kenvy: use a sound server
[01:57] <available> paulcooperorama_,  if ur a registerd user u can send me a pm yes by rightclicking names
[01:57] <kenvy> apropos how what im confused ^
[01:57] <airstrike> i guess i'll try both and see what works best
[01:57] <apropos> or don't, use alsa, kenvy
[01:57] <apropos> !alsa
[01:57] <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).

[02:16] <Ravenndude`> I rebooted my PC and now my sound does't work. Neither onboard nor my sound card, but the speakers work when hooked up to my laptop.
[02:16] <astro76> !info ntfsprogs | kenvy
[02:16] <ubotu> kenvy: ntfsprogs: tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux. In component main, is optional. Version 1.13.1-6 (feisty), package size 267 kB, installed size 700 kB
[02:17] <ubuntu> Hey folks, good to be back
[02:17] <ubuntu> major issue
[02:17] <madman91> !norway
[02:17] <ubuntu> well not really
[02:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about norway - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:17] <kenvy> how come I never think of that -.-
[02:17] <blix> test
[02:17] <blix> hi folks
[02:17] <uavstreb1> Fezzler i had issues with that but it was purely a permission problem.  did you try sudo before using the interface software?
[02:17] <blix> I'm in live cd mode at the moment
[02:17] <Fezzler> ua: yes
[02:18] <blix> I'm trying to fdisk my /dev/hda to an ntfs partition..
[02:18] <blix> but it keeps saying the drive is not writable
[02:18] <wishwish> Anyone here have any experience of getting an onboard Realtek ALC882 Soundcard working? :)
[02:18] <blix> and is read only
[02:18] <blix> how do make the partition write only?
[02:18] <blix> do I*
[02:18] <whta> blix: you need to enable ntfs write support
[02:18] <gortba> Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone knows how to mount a logical volume LVM
[02:18] <whta> !ntfs
[02:18] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[02:19] <uavstreb1> Fezzler sorry i gotta go wish i could stay longer and help
[02:19] <blix> whta - and how do I do that?
[02:19] <Dunas> Is there a way to make a .deb install on a different architecture than the one it was made for?
[02:19] <uavstreb1> :(
[02:19] <dibblego> how do I get my hostname change to survive a reboot?
[02:19] <whta> !ntfs-3g|blix
[02:19] <ubotu> blix: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[02:19] <jimmygoon> How do I check an ENV variable?
[02:19] <garryfre> set
[02:19] <dibblego> jimmygoon, echo $VARIABLE
[02:19] <garryfre> at a console
[02:20] <blix> so how do I install this driver?
[02:20] <jimmygoon> er, my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set
[02:20] <jimmygoon> :S
[02:20] <wishwish> Dunas: if it meets the dependies ... dpkg -i should work
[02:20] <wishwish> dkpg -i foo.deb
[02:20] <blix> and I'm definitely in root
[02:20] <whta> blix: there's a link right there that says "installation instructions"
[02:20] <wishwish> If it doesn't, you're probably best off getting the source and compile it yourself
[02:20] <Dunas> wishwish: Thanks.
[02:21] <blix> waht: Right ok, I'm taking a look
[02:21] <gortba> anyone?
[02:21] <richie_> Every package I install comes up as not authenticated.. I'm using the standard ubuntu sources (no 3rd party repository's)... I was messing with the live cd when I installed ubuntu.. I may of broke it then. Can I reinstall the ubuntu GPG keys?
[02:21] <richie_> I have ubuntu 7.04
[02:22] <wishwish> Anyone have any experience or suggest for getting a Realtek ALC882 onboard sound card working?
[02:22] <gortba> or is it possible to mount an LVM that's on a different Hard Drive than my current operating system?
[02:22] <rawrr> can somebody help me really quickly?
[02:22] <matt3453> can anyone help me figure out why i cant mount a partition? i get - "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /temp
[02:22] <matt3453> mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
[02:22] <matt3453> "
[02:22] <richie_> gortba: theres some guides if you search around on google
[02:22] <rawrr> im installing ubuntu, and its asking about disk partioning...
[02:22] <rawrr> for the new partion do i want that to be high or low?
[02:23] <rawrr> never mind
[02:23] <rawrr> figured it out
[02:23] <richie_> rawrr: make sure you have backed up all data
[02:23] <phenom> :)
[02:23] <gortba> richie: thanks, I've been looking but there is only how to's on mounting LVM's that are on the same hard drive
[02:24] <richie_> gortba: Oh I managed to mount another drive from a guide i googled
[02:24] <kenvy> allthough I have ntfsprogs installed i still get the error I should be getting ntfsfix 1.13.1
[02:24] <gortba> richie: thanks. I'll keep looking
[02:26] <astro76> kenvy, what are you doing that is giving you that error?
[02:26] <blix> Im so nackered
[02:26] <matt3453> http://pastebin.com/d7951f690
[02:26] <matt3453> can anyone tell me why i cant mount the partition?
[02:26] <dibblego> how do I add a user to the admin group?
[02:27] <VSpike> matt3453: what makes you think it should be on /dev/sda1 ?
[02:27] <matt3453> VSpike: cause thats where its at?
[02:27] <matt3453> according to fdisk anyway
[02:28] <kenvy> astro76 first I typed sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs, then ntfsfix /dev/sda5
[02:28] <VSpike> matt3453: does "ls -l /dev/sda*" show anything?
[02:28] <kenvy> astro76 Failed to startup volume : Permission denied
[02:28] <kenvy> Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.
[02:28] <astro76> kenvy, you will need to use sudo with ntfsfix, and /dev/sda5 will need to be unmounted
[02:29] <matt3453> VSpike: matt@matt-desktop:~$ sudo ls -l /dev/sda*
[02:29] <matt3453> brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 2007-08-25 19:34 /dev/sda
[02:30] <madman91> how do i make blkid start without using cache?
[02:30] <richie_> I fixed my problem.. if anyone has problems with their ubuntu GPG keys.. reinstall ubuntu-keyring
[02:30] <kenvy> couldnt find package..
[02:30] <richie_> :)
[02:30] <necro_> Can anyone help me with samba?  I can't get 2 external hard drives working.  They're already working / mounted in ubuntu.
[02:30] <necro_> astro: those url's don't help / apply.  But thanx.
[02:30] <wayoutthere> Hi can anyone tell me how to shrink a pdf down a bit? I am using XSANE to scan in about 10 pages and the resulting pdf is over 20 megs!
[02:32] <wolferine> !offtopic | wayoutthere
[02:32] <ubotu> wayoutthere: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:33] <matt3453> VSpike: just figured it out.... the entry for the partition was commented out in fstab
[02:33] <kenvy> astro76 I guess I have no choice but to root myself
[02:33] <wayoutthere> I see so helping someone actully get some use out of Ubuntu and its apps doesnt fall under Ubuntu support. Sounds like Microshafts policy
[02:33] <Ravenndude`> I rebooted my PC and now my sound does't work. Neither onboard nor my sound card, but the speakers work when hooked up to my laptop.
[02:33] <kenvy> !root
[02:34] <ubotu> 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
[02:34] <astro76> kenvy, what's the problem now?
[02:34] <astro76> wayoutthere, it's not offtopic don't worry :)
[02:34] <VSpike> matt3453: wierd
[02:34] <barbarianhero> hey all, Just isntalled ubuntu on an old laptop of mine, the fonts look really crappy, any idea of what I could od?
[02:34] <kenvy> Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.
[02:34] <wayoutthere> Thank you Astro76
[02:34] <matt3453> VSpike: i just reinstalled ubuntu, so maybe the install hid it or something?
[02:35] <barbarianhero> it's a pretty old thinkpad, running ion3 instead of gnome...I had a similar setup w/ another distro(gentoo) and the fonts looked just fine
[02:35] <MerlinsLair> @barbarianhero you may need to download the extra fonts possibly from automatix
[02:35] <astro76> !automatix
[02:35] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[02:35] <barbarianhero> I think it might have used Xfree86, so not sure if it's some config thing in x.org or just a different way the distros configed the graphics
[02:35] <Yarcanox> the ubuntu search doesn't search when I am using / as the search directory
[02:36] <Yarcanox> err at least the nautilus search is it
[02:36] <barbarianhero> hrm.  Maybe i can look into that.
[02:37] <Yarcanox> I am searching for a folder, and it does just nothing
[02:37] <Yarcanox> when searching in /home, it works (it searches and all)
[02:37] <Yarcanox> but when searching in / , it doesn't start with the search at all
[02:37] <astro76> barbarianhero, I wouldn't recommend automatix, it's a piece of junk, see that link for more info
[02:37] <wishwish> Anyone have any suggestions on how can make the snd-hda-intel module available without having to compile alsa by hand?
[02:37] <Yarcanox> I am searching this damn game folder for hours now :(((
[02:37] <VSpike> Yarcanox: If that search is based on beagle, then that would be to do with how it's configured I think
[02:38] <VSpike> Yarcanox: use find from the console instead
[02:38] <barbarianhero> astro76, Yeah I don't think I want to mess with that.  Getting ubuntu onto this system was a lengthy process and not one I would like to repeat
[02:38] <barbarianhero> it's working just fine now, only wish the fonts were a little clearer.
[02:39] <astro76> barbarianhero, look into changing the font hinting
[02:39] <VSpike> Yarcanox: e.g. find / -iname "*thegamename*" -type d
[02:39] <astro76> might be it
[02:40] <Yarcanox> vspike I just did find / gamename
[02:40] <AcidMaX> how do i change my feisty install to only get packages from the internet
[02:40] <AcidMaX> it keeps looking for my cd
[02:40] <barbarianhero> astro76, yeah googling this looks promising
[02:40] <Yarcanox> find: adonthell: No such file or directory o.O
[02:40] <Yarcanox> there must be at least one executable named this way
[02:40] <Yarcanox> this is strange
[02:41] <AcidMaX> nvm i missed my sources.list
[02:41] <asdf> Does anyone know when Awn will be considered stable?
[02:41] <mmvii> Yarcanox locate
[02:41] <Skrypt> How do I open a movie in a .bin file?
[02:41] <VSpike> Yarcanox: mine is case insensitive and wildcarded, and only returns directories
[02:41] <codecaine> is there a software that lets me record myself with my webcam like its a camrecoder?
[02:42] <Yarcanox> when using -iname it seems to search in some forbidden root stuff only vspike
[02:42] <MerlinsLair> ok, why is automatix junk?
[02:42] <Yarcanox> find / "*gamename*" -type d worked though
[02:42] <Yarcanox> but not with that -iname thing
[02:42] <super61> hello my laptop cant see my usb adapter any resone why?
[02:42] <astro76> !automatix | MerlinsLair read this link for a thorough analysis
[02:42] <ubotu> MerlinsLair read this link for a thorough analysis: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.

[02:42] <MerlinsLair> ok, thx man
[02:43] <Yarcanox> find: adonthell: No such file or directory
[02:43] <Yarcanox> vspike again... but .adonthell exists
[02:43] <Yarcanox> it is in my home folder
[02:43] <super61> any one know why?
[02:43] <Yarcanox> this sux, why can't I just search for stuff
[02:43] <necro_> Is it possible that samba won't work with a certain drive due to mount options?
[02:46] <mmvii> Yarcanox have you tried locate instead of find?
[02:47] <Yarcanox> no... I found it with searching for all *.ogg files because I knew that ogg was in there
[02:47] <MerlinsLair> astro76...thanks for the heads up! appreciate it
[02:47] <Yarcanox> but this is just crap, and an easy-to-use system should have a working search
[02:47] <Yarcanox> the standard search (not nautilus) works fine - but why the hell can't I search for directories??
[02:47] <super61> hello i have a netgear wg 111 v2 and a laptop with ubuntu 7.04 alternative and it cant see it any resone why?
[02:47] <kenvy> astro76 what happens if I reinstall ubuntu and change mount of the other drives to "/" will I then be able to read/write?
[02:47] <Yarcanox> or at least I haven't found the button for it
[02:47] <Yarcanox> and I think it's a shame that I needed so long to find this directory
[02:47] <raumin> hello
[02:48] <GNine> Yarcanox, u might have good ideas.. you should try coding some of them
[02:48] <GNine> >:)
[02:48] <Yarcanox> GNine a good standard search is not just a good idea, that this would be needed is just obvious
[02:49] <Yarcanox> but it is not there, only integrated into nautilus where it doesn't work with /
[02:49] <searayman> can i get some help with a patch for kopete?

[02:52] <ironmatar> what do you mean  i got the western digital 250 because it had a 16mb chach
[02:52] <jimmygoon> why is /usr/local/lib not in ubuntu's library path
[02:52] <VSpike> Yarcanox: I think the default search is designed for finding documents, music, email, etc. only.  IOW, personal data.  Couldbe wrong though.

[02:54] <vrkhans> the realtek card is the wireless card
[02:54] <viqas> vrkhans: did you use google?
[02:54] <GNine> dhcp is automatic

[02:54] <vrkhans> no

[02:55] <ironmatar> viqas:  i have the sudo gdm stop and start commands  i just want to make shure i have the sequencing right
[02:55] <Menth> vrkhans you will probably need to use ndiswrapper
[02:55] <vrkhans> it is intalled but not active
[02:55] <Sau1> i need some quick help
[02:55] <viqas> ironmatar: no idea   i dont run X  on my machines.
[02:55] <vrkhans> and I dont know how to make it active
[02:56] <viqas> vrkhans: there must be some tool that could help you with it in ubuntu
[02:56] <craven> hello i have a netgear wg 111 v2 and a laptop with ubuntu 7.04 alternative and it cant see it any resone why?
[02:56] <Sau1> im telling you my problem
[02:56] <vrkhans> that what I am trying to find out if there is any
[02:57] <ironmatar> finnaly got gaim to work properly for irc commands too
[02:57] <treedy> hi
[02:57] <Sau1> i have 2 hard disks. and i installed xubuntu in the slave. the other disk is completely formated in NTFS. I want to format it to ext3 but it has the BOOT flag, will be there any problem if i just format it and add to the fstab???
[02:58] <treedy> that, http://imaj.at/21219
[02:58] <treedy> how to do what?
[02:58] <Sau1> so?
[02:58] <GNine> i used gparted to turn a whole 40 gig NTFS partion to EXT3 , no problem
[02:58] <kenvy> rebooting
[02:59] <phaedra> craven,  What chipset is the netgear card?
[02:59] <Sau1> oh yeah, thats my plan
[02:59] <ironmatar> unfourtinatly i dont know the answer
[02:59] <Sau1> to use gparted
[02:59] <Sau1> but being my xubuntu instalation in a slave hard disk and the boot flag in the nfts partition , it may be trouble ... or not??
[03:00] <VSpike> saul: I don't think it will be a problem.  Which disk is booted by the BIOS?
[03:00] <daytona89> is there a bootloader that is an alternative to GRUB? Maybe something graphical/polished?
[03:00] <Sau1> ....not quite sure
[03:00] <GNine> daytona89,  u being silly now
[03:00] <daytona89> GRUB is fugly
[03:00] <Sau1> let me think
[03:00] <astro76> how long do you spend in GRUB?
[03:00] <Sau1> i installed everything in the slave disk
[03:01] <daytona89> yea, this is true... :)\
[03:01] <Sau1> is it ok?
[03:01] <GNine> u can still modify a few options on grub.. i just dont care to go into that .. i dont need to see grub for too long anyway
[03:01] <alteregoz> Anyone have some knowledge on configuring Samba on ubuntu??
[03:01] <Sau1> the question is
[03:01] <Menth> saul go into the bios and make the slave disk boot first and remove the master from the boot order. if the machine boots you should be good to just wipe the master
[03:01] <daytona89> I have 2 choices as to which kernel I want to use. How do I remove the old one?
[03:01] <Sau1> is there any problem if i give format to a partition with the BOOT flag?
[03:02] <Bjornalf> wait you see grub? i see a "hit escape" prompt for 3 sec then ubuntu loads
[03:02] <opopanax> what's up with all these non-authenticatable packages?
[03:02] <opopanax> feisty
[03:02] <daytona89> Basically I want it to give me a choice of Windows or Ubuntu, not 5 variants of each...
[03:02] <astro76> daytona89, 2.6.20-16 and 2.6.20-15 ?
[03:02] <daytona89> Yes.
[03:03] <Sau1> ..that yes was for me?
[03:03] <daytona89> astro76: yes, that's right.
[03:03] <GNine> careful with that Menth
[03:03] <astro76> daytona89, go into synaptic, search for 2.6.20-15, and uninstall everything that is selected
[03:03] <soskel> Is there a way so when my computer starts, it goes right into windows, but if I start my computer, and hold down F12 for example, it will load ubuntu?
[03:03] <opopanax> daytona, you should just remove the kernel package you don't want anymore, and grub-update should remove the offending entry.
[03:03] <daytona89> Ok, cool.
[03:03] <nixNewb> i downloaded a ubuntu cd, but when i try to select install or check cd my computer will reboot
[03:03] <Menth> ?
[03:04] <opopanax> soskel, yes.  you can make windows your default with a short timeout.
[03:04] <scipio> daytona89, about the grub screen: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855&highlight=howto+grub+suse don't blame me if something goes wrong :)
[03:04] <opopanax> make it so it doesn't show the grub menu, but you can hit a key to enter the menu
[03:04] <Sau1> so, i must not formtat that partition
[03:04] <soskel> opopanax: what boot loader would I use, and how do I set the timeout?
[03:04] <opopanax> grub, and not sure, hold on.
[03:04] <necro_> Is it possible samba won't work with a drive due to it's mount options?
[03:05] <GNine> like i said.. silly ... leave the grub alone.. it might save your life one day
[03:05] <scipio> :)
[03:05] <astro76> necro_, I think it's more likely samba isn't set up right
[03:05] <necro_> astro: I have 5 drives working with it.
[03:05] <necro_> Just these two externals won't.
[03:05] <daytona89> in Synaptic, what heading do I find the Kernel packages under?
[03:05] <ironmatar> is there a firewall to config on ubuntu
[03:05] <fam> Hello, I'm having problems running apt-get update
[03:06] <astro76> daytona89, just hit search, pick Look in name, and enter 2.6.20-15
[03:06] <fam> I get this error: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-commercial/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2  Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[03:06] <GNine> !firestarter
[03:06] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[03:06] <m1x> I'm really starting to lose my patience... why is it so hard to get full access to my own drives...
[03:06] <Bjornalf> necro_: what happens with samba?
[03:06] <opopanax> ok, soskel :  edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (lst as in 'list', not '1st')
[03:06] <fam> But I don't even have that canonical.com repository in my sources.list file
[03:06] <craven> hello i have a netgear wg 111 v2 and a laptop with ubuntu 7.04 alternative and it cant see it any resone why?
[03:06] <necro_> Bjomalf: I have samba working with my 5 internal hard drives.  But these 2 externals won't share.  I think it may be due to the auto-mount options.
[03:06] <nixNewb> can someone help me install ubuntu?  when i try to install it just reboots
[03:07] <soskel> opopanax: so that would be edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:07] <Sau1> i need help there
[03:07] <Sau1> here
[03:07] <opopanax> soskel, if windows is your second entry, you should have a line that says 'default 1'
[03:07] <opopanax> soskel, yes
[03:07] <GNine> somebody illustrate mlx about Chown command
[03:07] <opopanax> soskel, you should have a short timeout, so a line that says 'timeout 3' should do it.
[03:07] <opopanax> soskel, and finally, a line that says 'hiddenmenu'
[03:07] <soskel> hoky doky, thanks a lot, the command would be gkedit sudo edit /boot/grub/menu.list
[03:07] <Sau1> i need to format a ntfs partition which has the BOOT flag. what can i do????
[03:07] <opopanax> and that's it, soskel
[03:08] <soskel> opopanax: and I should set the timeout to 0?
[03:08] <Prince> software firewalls are for the paranoid
[03:08] <daytona89> astro76: do I remove everything brought up by that search?\
[03:08] <craven> Sau1: use a nuke disc
[03:08] <astro76> daytona89, yes
[03:08] <Sau1> nuke dism?
[03:08] <Sau1> disk
[03:08] <opopanax> soskel, easier to open a terminal and just do 'suno nano -w /boot/grub/menu.lst'
[03:08] <craven> well you got windows or linux?
[03:08] <opopanax> *sudo not suno
[03:08] <fam> Does anybody know why I am getting this error when trying to run apt-get update?
[03:08] <fam> Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-commercial/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2  Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[03:09] <ironmatar> yes but am i paranoid enough!
[03:09] <Sau1> i got linux
[03:09] <Prince> lol
[03:09] <craven> Sau1: got a linux cd?
[03:09] <soskel> ok brb
[03:09] <Sau1> i had a windows install long ago
[03:09] <nixNewb>  can someone help me install ubuntu?  when i try to install it just reboots
[03:09] <opopanax> soskel, i'll be back in a few, making dinner
[03:09] <craven> Sau1: ok that well redo the HD for you
[03:09] <GNine> SuperUser DO
[03:09] <astro76> fam, two possibilities, you either need to do a sudo apt-get update, or you have something in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[03:09] <Prince> nixNewb, ain't that point to reboot to the desktop?
[03:10] <astro76> fam, ah you did update
[03:10] <Prince> maybe remove the cd and see if it boots to unix
[03:10] <Sau1> i think i may explain my situation
[03:10] <Prince> off the hdd
[03:10] <nixNewb> Prince, it reboots, then goes again to the menu to select install, check cd, etc
[03:10] <Sau1> i got 2 hd's
[03:10] <fam> is sources.list.d a default source list I'm geussing?
[03:10] <craven> Okey ~
[03:10] <Prince> nix, when u reboot afte r the install finishes u need to take the cd out
[03:10] <astro76> fam, you can add repos in separate files which are formatted like sources.list
[03:10] <phaedra> nixNewb, Are you installing from the live cd?
[03:10] <Bjornalf> nixNewb: do you ever get to the desktop with the installer?
[03:11] <craven> hello i have a netgear wg 111 v2 and a laptop with ubuntu 7.04 alternative and it cant see it any resone why? can someone help after there done?
[03:11] <nixNewb> it never goes to the point of installing it
[03:11] <nixNewb> sever cd
[03:11] <nixNewb> as soon as i click enter it says something quickly, then reboots
[03:11] <Prince> nixNewb, have u verified the cd md5sum
[03:12] <Prince> to make sure its not corrupt
[03:12] <nixNewb> how would i do that?
[03:12] <fam> Thanks, astro, I think this might help out.
[03:12] <astro76> fam, was something in there?
[03:12] <nixNewb> hold on, googling for it
[03:12] <ironmatar> nixNewb:     once you have the install  as volume    places ,computer, mount volume     reboot hold down eject button on cd
[03:12] <Prince> md5sum of the cd is on ubuntu site beside the cd download
[03:13] <ironmatar> make shure  u get the cd out before grub starts
[03:13] <nixNewb> i'm on a windows box now
[03:13] <nixNewb> i'm trying to install it on another box
[03:13] <astro76> nixNewb, you can get a command-line md5sum for windows
[03:13] <astro76> nixNewb, to check the .iso
[03:13] <nixNewb> just downloaded it
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> also burn a a slow rate, 2-4x...
[03:14] <astro76> !md5
[03:14] <ubotu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[03:14] <m1x> !mount
[03:14] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[03:15] <fam> Astro, I found the canonical repository in a file in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory and it looks to have fixed the problem
[03:15] <fam> I just commented it out.
[03:15] <fam> Thanks
[03:15] <ironmatar> nixNewb:  if you dont get the cd out before grub starts it boots the cd agian
[03:15] <nixNewb> ironmatar, i'll try that, i need to unplug the monitor to see it
[03:15] <BrendanW> I can't resize windows in Ubuntu :/ Ugh.
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> BrendanW: gparted should be able to resize an ntfs partition
[03:16] <nixNewb> btw, i've checksummed it, where do i find the checksum it should be
[03:16] <GNine> i have tried burning ISOs at 1x and still cant make one right
[03:16] <m1x> !ntfsprogs
[03:16] <nixNewb> checksummed the iso
[03:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfsprogs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:16] <GNine> lol
[03:16] <nixNewb> cf462501e2dc1b82b96dfc497a0404a2
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> GNine: then you're having some other issue, what type of media are you using?
[03:16] <Prince> nixNewb, I think i said it was on ubuntu site where u download it
[03:16] <BrendanW> IndyGunFreak: I mean like, windows, not like MS Windows. Like xchat, or Firefox. I can't resize viewable windows.
[03:16] <Sau2> im sorry
[03:17] <astro76> BrendanW, using compiz or beryl?
[03:17] <IndyGunFreak> BrendanW: wow, thats wierd.
[03:17] <Sau2> sorry
[03:17] <fangorioous> when i try to format a dvd+rw in gnomebaker it says i don't have to format I can just overwrite. but browsing on nautilus I can't delete anything from the disk. how do i format/erase the disk?
[03:17] <Sau2> my connection died
[03:17] <BrendanW> astro76: compiz-fusion
[03:17] <Sau2> as i was saying
[03:17] <nixNewb> its not there, i just linked to it: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[03:17] <astro76> BrendanW, figured, try #compiz-fusion or #ubuntu-effects
[03:17] <Sau2> hey craven are you still there?
[03:17] <BrendanW> Alright
[03:17] <GNine> cd/dvd , ubuntu 7.04, nice drivers.. i gave up on it .. my system is good .. i just dont have a backup plan per se
[03:17] <GNine> ha!
[03:18] <ironmatar> at least that is how i got it to work  i was having the problem of grub seizing the cd and not letting me eject it before boot  i ahd to hold the eject button til it opend before grub start
[03:18] <mdp79> Just upgraded to Fiesty and I now show two wireless devices for my laptop, wifi0 and wlan1, is this normal?
[03:19] <ironmatar> anyway be back in a bit
[03:19] <GNine> a wireless router does have a wired port..
[03:19] <nixNewb> where do i find the md5 checksums for isos?
[03:19] <opopanax> soskel, did you get it figured out?
[03:19] <foo25> I've looked everywhere, but can't find the command to edit xorg.conf from within command line, can anyone remind me? =P
[03:20] <fangorioous> foo25 sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:20] <Menth> noooooooo use nano
[03:20] <astro76> nixNewb, you can get it from any mirror
[03:20] <soskel> opopanax: no
[03:20] <Menth> vi is nasty
[03:20] <raumin> yop,i tried "restricted Devices Manager" but bug...
[03:20] <soskel> I messed up
[03:20] <fangorioous> Menth: personal preference
[03:20] <opopanax> soskel, do you know what you did wrong?
[03:20] <soskel> I was using xandros, and the boot manager wasn't grub
[03:20] <foo25> I wasn't sure if nano worked with Ubuntu, because I seen it on other distro's forums, sorry, should have tried it =P
[03:20] <kitche> vim is nice vi can be nasty if not setup right :)
[03:20] <Menth> i know but nano is easyer to use
[03:20] <foo25> Thanks very much guys
[03:21] <opopanax> soskel, oh, just install grub.  lilo sucks ass.
[03:21] <GNine> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg    thats what i use
[03:21] <Ninja> has anyone here ever remastered an Ubuntu or Debian install CD?
[03:21] <astro76> nixNewb, http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/MD5SUMS
[03:21] <soskel> opopanax: if I install grub, will it over write lilo?
[03:21] <GNine> or.. u can use nano if your are handy with the OS
[03:21] <foo25> All I did was add Option "RightEdge" "5700" in xorg.conf and it stopped booting XD
[03:21] <foo25> I prefer nano, if it's the same as I used last time
[03:21] <Menth> hehe i hope you can a backup first!
[03:22] <foo25> I hate messing with that reconfiguration first
[03:22] <GNine> tru
[03:22] <foo25> I didn't backup XD I didn't think a simple Synaptics edit would mess it up lol
[03:22] <nixNewb> astro76, thank you
[03:22] <foo25> I was trying to define the scroll edge, and it stopped working O.o
[03:23] <GNine> foo25,  sometimes the hard way is the best way to learn
[03:23] <foo25> lol
[03:23] <foo25> I've messed xorg.conf up countless times XD
[03:23] <mistone> yea me to
[03:23] <foo25> Back to linux! Thanks ;)
[03:23] <GNine> i should know bout that.. i like messing up
[03:23] <IndyGunFreak> foo25: me to.. i keep a backup of a good one that i can restore if necessary..lol
[03:23] <albertico> hi
[03:23] <foo25> I'm gonna backup one, if I get this one fixed =P
[03:24] <benzs_s> does azureus have any obvious conflicts with compiz-fusion?
[03:24] <fangorious> anyone know how to format a dvd+rw?
[03:24] <Menth> yeah i messed up my video today messing about with xserver-xorg-video-intel :(
[03:24] <albertico> what is the chanel name of tribe 5 gutsy?
[03:24] <fangorious> ubuntu+1
[03:24] <foo25> Is it easier to reboot, or start X again?
[03:24] <astro76> foo25, you just need to restart X
[03:24] <foo25> To see if the fix worked that is
[03:24] <IndyGunFreak> foo25: just run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and take the defaults, it will get you back to a workable desktop
[03:24] <GNine> i like rebooting if am sure what i changed
[03:24] <nixNewb> <--- Good checksum
[03:24] <aman> hi astro76
[03:24] <foo25> Indy, I would, but I know exactly what to change
[03:25] <nixNewb> i'll try takign out the cd
[03:25] <ad_> 
[03:25] <IndyGunFreak> foo25: oh ok,  makes sense
[03:25] <foo25> Anyway, time to fix this mess =P

[03:25] <GNine> i spent 2 hours gettin xserver back up after messing with compiz
[03:25] <daytona89> astro76: 2 q's... what's the difference btwn 'remove' and 'completely remove'? & Do I *need* 2.... - 15 at any point down the road?
[03:26] <jon__> how do i get my wireless card to show up in ifconfig? im pretty sure the right module is loaded
[03:26] <aman> astro76 i got a new idea may i have to install driver in ubuntu 7.04
[03:26] <Sau2> ok im telling my story from the beggining
[03:26] <Sau2> ia have 2 hd's
[03:26] <astro76> daytona89, completely remove also removes configuration files (like --purge with apt-get), I don't think the kernel has config files but it's safe to completely remove
[03:26] <ironmatar> !nvidia
[03:26] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:26] <Menth> i was trying to get eve-online to work and i dont think it works with the i810 drivers was hoping the other ones would work with it
[03:26] <astro76> daytona89, you won't need it, -16 was a security update
[03:26] <aman> astro76 am i right
[03:27] <astro76> aman, for what? I forget
[03:27] <dezmin> how do I start two sessions of X? like, one on Alt-F7 and another on Alt-F8
[03:27] <freak124> hi, I have a question, I hope someone is able to help me: When I installed ubuntu I took 3 partitions: swap, root and home. Now I'd like to change back to 2 partitions if that's possible?
[03:27] <astro76> dezmin, I forget the hard way ;) but if you edit your menu you can add a New Login entry to System Tools
[03:27] <Bjornalf> is xmms the best music player? i have .ogg and .mp3 files
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> freak124: why?
[03:27] <Skrypt> How do I install FISH for XChat? Just drop xfish.so into ~/.xchat2/? Don't I need to run './xfish.so'?
[03:28] <aman> astro76 i talked to u for setting up internet connection in ubuntu
[03:28] <Prince> what is fish
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> Skrypt: what is fish?
[03:28] <freak124> IndyGunFreak-->I have a dual boot with windows and I want to make another partition for windows, wich is impossible because I have 4 partitions yet
[03:28] <Sau2> master has an installation of windows and old data which i dont want any more. slave disk has xubuntu instaled and valueble data and time spent configurating. I want to format the master disk to ext3 so i can use it easily as storage unit. The problem is that the ntfs partition has a BOOT flag. I think there will be a problem if i just give format. Can some one give some advice on this??
[03:28] <Menth> Sau2 restart the machine, enter the bios, change the boot order to slave, remove master from the boot order, save and exit if the machine boots you should be ok to make sure you can removed the master drive this will just be like formating it
[03:28] <GNine> !gparted | freak124
[03:28] <ubotu> freak124: 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
[03:28] <astro76> aman, you're going to have to refresh my memory ;)
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> GNine: id on'tt think gparted will help him
[03:29] <nixNewb> back
[03:29] <Skrypt> IndyGunFreak: It's IRC encryption
[03:29] <IndyGunFreak> Skrypt: oh ok.
[03:29] <nixNewb> so i select install, then i take out the cd, it then just boots to the hd, which is wondows
[03:29] <m1x> !tar
[03:29] <aman> astro76 actually i need to setup an internet connection in ubuntu 7.04
[03:29] <ubotu> 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
[03:29] <GNine> to make another partition for windows means he wants another NTFS .. so
[03:29] <IndyGunFreak> freak124: htats gonna be tough, I'm not sure you can do that.
[03:29] <freak124> no, gparted doesnt work, I can't expand my windows partition for some odd reason
[03:29] <IndyGunFreak> GNine: no, you need to re-read his question
[03:29] <aman> astro76 i have a direct internet connection
[03:30] <astro76> aman, oh you had the wired connection with working name server but couldn't ping out
[03:30] <ironmatar> i dont know anything about dual boost setups nixNewb
[03:30] <astro76> aman, no you already have the driver
[03:30] <aman> astro76 no router is involved
[03:30] <aman> astro76 yes exactly
[03:30] <m1x> !lib
[03:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lib - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:30] <freak124> IndyGunFreak-->You can also install ubuntu with 2 partitions, so I figured you should be able to switch from 3 partitions to 2 partitions?
[03:31] <aman> astro76 i got a new idea that may be i have to install lan card driver in ubuntu
[03:31] <Sau2> ?
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> freak124: yes, you can...
[03:31] <astro76> aman, no you already have the driver
[03:31] <Sau2> ok !!
[03:31] <nixNewb> : so i select install, then i take out the cd, it then just boots to the hd, which is wondows
[03:31] <freak124> IndyGunFreak-->well, how do I do it :)
[03:31] <aman> astro76 did u get any solution
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> freak124:  probably gonna involve reinstalling to be truthful.
[03:31] <daytona89> I'm trying to install gfxboot so that grub will look more graphical. The instructions are at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855&highlight=howto+grub+suse
[03:31] <Sau2> ok menth
[03:31] <GNine> thing is .. i dont run windows.. this is an ubuntu forum?
[03:32] <astro76> aman, still don't know what to tell you, try asking the channel again
[03:32] <aman> astro76 if yes plz tell me
[03:32] <Sau2> i almos got it
[03:32] <daytona89> but I have a prob... the first step says to remove grub, but I get an error when I try sudo apt-get remove grub
[03:32] <Sau2> so, when i remove the boot flag
[03:32] <Sau2> will all be just ok?
[03:32] <Menth> you need to test it first
[03:32] <Sau2> i dont need to do anything?
[03:32] <ironmatar> nixNewb:  are u triying to get away from winblows or dual install?
[03:32] <aman> astro76 do u know any person in the channel who can solve my problem
[03:32] <nixNewb> its currently a windows box, i want to wipe it and intsall a ubuntu server
[03:33] <astro76> aman, ask, if anyone knows they'll try to help :)
[03:33] <Sau2> so it is possible to just reboot normally
[03:33] <ironmatar> get the desktop version not the server version
[03:33] <Sau2> and its possible the oppossite too
[03:33] <ironmatar> unless there is some reason u need server software
[03:34] <ToHellWithGA> i'm using a guide to use ffmpeg to convert various movie files into ipod-compatible mpeg4/aac files but ffmpeg claims not to have aac support in the default package.  do yall have an idea for how i can add aac support in ubuntu feisty?
[03:34] <astro76> nixNewb, even if you want server software, you want the desktop cd
[03:34] <Sau2> so i dont need to pass the boot flag to another place???
[03:34] <Sau2> menth?
[03:34] <GNine> everything is possible .. the how to might take a lil longer to figure out
[03:34] <Menth> did you try to boot from slave instead of master?
[03:34] <keen> can i get some help with kiba dock?
[03:34] <nixNewb> will it let me install it?
[03:34] <Bjornalf> ok let's try this question.. i've eliminated the windows PCs that need to connect to my server via SAMBA. What is a better filesharing system for linux-linux sharing?
[03:34] <aman> can anyone tell me how to setup an internet connection in ubuntu 7.04 with wired internet connection(no router is involved)
[03:34] <aman> ?
[03:34] <astro76> nixNewb, I would recommend trying it
[03:34] <Sau2> bjolnaf: I use NFS
[03:35] <Sau2> and i am quite pleased
[03:35] <ironmatar> aman your here arnt you  its already installed  i diden ahve to do a thing myself either which suprised me
[03:35] <astro76> aman, you should also specify the details
[03:35] <GNine> EXT3 all the way here
[03:35] <nixNewb> okie dokie, i'll start dling it
[03:36] <keen> kiba-dock anyone?
[03:36] <aman> astro76 i think u r talking about the details which have pasted in pastebin
[03:36] <goodtod> is there any way to enable DMA on an ide hard drive that uses a scsi driver?
[03:36] <astro76> Bjornalf, a very easy way is to just install openssh-server on each machine
[03:36] <phantom784> I'm getting a crc error on my ubuntu install, right after grub.  i had to pull the plug right before this, so i'm guessing something on the drive got corrupted, but i don't know how to fix it.  any ideas?
[03:37] <GNine> goodtod, sounds like what windows would do
[03:37] <astro76> aman, I mean the fact that you have a cable modem with no router, and you found that the nameserver resolves names and you can ping the gateway, but you can't ping out or do anything else :D
[03:37] <goodtod> GNine: huh?
[03:37] <Bjornalf> astro76: i have ssh on my server.. it has no keyboard or monitor.. but i was looking for something like samba but for linux-linux sharing
[03:37] <daytona89> can someone take a quick look at the directions for gfxboot located at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855&highlight=howto+grub+suse
[03:37] <daytona89> I'm having a problem with them...
[03:37] <mistone> I did that once
[03:38] <astro76> Bjornalf, with openssh-server you can do scp or sftp, it also integrates nicely into gnome with the connect to server...
[03:38] <mistone> I didn 't have any problems
[03:38] <Sau2> wait a moment
[03:38] <aman> ironmatar its not happening
[03:38] <astro76> Bjornalf, or use NFS and mount NFS shares
[03:38] <GNine> !dma
[03:38] <ubotu> dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing. It makes hard disks & optical drives transfer data faster, and is almost always enabled in Ubuntu 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA
[03:38] <ironmatar>  how to get the nvida driver lib
[03:38] <albertico> good work
[03:38] <albertico> ubuntu is a nice distro!
[03:38] <albertico> :)
[03:38] <albertico> congratulations
[03:38] <albertico> :D
[03:38] <albertico> maybe the best
[03:38] <Bjornalf> oh i didn't know that last part.. is that only in nautilus? i was trying to replace that with thunar file manager :(
[03:38] <ironmatar> are u clicking mozzilla and it does what?
[03:39] <aman> ironmatar i have an direct internet connection with no router
[03:39] <keen> sooooo anyone know anything about kiba-dock at all?
[03:39] <Bjornalf> daytona: what part is causing you problems?
[03:39] <ironmatar> gives u the ubuntu homepages dosent it?
[03:39] <notwen> anyoen know if there are processes which run when you're connected to a network wired or wifi respectively and continue to run through the duration of the connection?
[03:39] <Shadow_mil> albertico, not sure you can truly call one distro better then another, since its mainly a matter of personal preference.
[03:39] <aman> ironmatar i can ping the gateway but not anything else
[03:40] <wctraxler> william
[03:40] <aman> ironmatar yes it yes shows mozzilla homepages
[03:40] <daytona89> I can't remove grub...? It says files are in use...
[03:40] <albertico> Shadow_mil, I agree, is opinion.
[03:40] <ryugaka> i just noticed.
[03:40] <albertico> :)
[03:40] <ryugaka> why aren't there any ops or anything.
[03:41] <daytona89> "Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" What does this mean?
[03:41] <ironmatar> type google into the htt bar
[03:41] <Bjornalf> do you have synaptic or add/remove open?
[03:41] <|FrOst|> there is ryugaka
[03:41] <|FrOst|> :P
[03:42] <daytona89> yes... oops! I'll try again. Thanks!
[03:42] <ryugaka> there are?
[03:42] <|FrOst|> yeps
[03:42] <ryugaka> i have everyone colored according to mode
[03:42] <ryugaka> and i don't see any different
[03:42] <Bjornalf> np.. i've run into that by synaptic hiding add/remove
[03:42] <ryugaka> :(
[03:42] <|FrOst|> just gotta find em
[03:42] <ryugaka> so they are sneaky
[03:42] <|FrOst|> yesh lol
[03:43] <Sau2> so
[03:43] <Sau2> finally
[03:43] <Sau2> once i changed the boot order, and removed the boot flag in the master disk
[03:44] <Sau2> i wont need to do anything
[03:44] <Sau2> such ass passing the boot flag to another partition?
[03:44] <Sau2> or editing the grub list
[03:44] <daytona89> when I try to install gfxboot, it says there's no such package. I read somewhere that it's common to have to add new 'repositories' or something. Which am I likely missing/ how do I add them?
[03:44] <Sau2> or anything else??
[03:44] <Sau2> ...anyone?
[03:44] <astro76> !enter | Sau2
[03:44] <ubotu> Sau2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:44] <Bjornalf> daytona: if you're following their directions you need to download it then provide the whole path to the .deb file
[03:45] <astro76> daytona89, you would have to find out about a 3rd party repo that had it... I can't help to think it's not really worth it :p
[03:45] <|FrOst|> lol theres one ryugaka
[03:45] <MajorVictory> life
[03:45] <MajorVictory> sucks
[03:46] <|FrOst|> :)
[03:46] <jshriver> How do you setup a webcam under linux? I grabbed the gspcav module package and compiled it
[03:46] <Lieutenant> MajorVictory: yes it does...
[03:46] <MajorVictory> my whole hardrive is useless
[03:46] <jshriver> but I dont know how ubuntu handles modules?
[03:46] <jshriver> what is the v4l module under ubuntu so I can modload it

[03:46] <MajorVictory> more than five years of my own shit, irreplacable files, all gone
[03:46] <jshriver> or does Ubuntu have a "hardware detection"?
[03:46] <RabidLockerGnome> life doesn't suck, MajorVictory, it just wants you to start over apparently :-P
[03:46] <|FrOst|> :O soz astro76
[03:47] <Menth> or when you forget to back up
[03:47] <astro76> MajorVictory, backups are a necessity, hard drives fail all the time :(
[03:47] <|FrOst|> nice vhost tho
[03:47] <Raiders32> I just received an update for "wine" but Synaptec tells me it is unauthenticated,  should I go ahead with the update?
[03:47] <|FrOst|> :P
[03:47] <MajorVictory> i have no means of backing up
[03:47] <MajorVictory> no money
[03:47] <notwen> anyoen know if there are processes which run when you're connected to a network wired or wifi respectively and continue to run through the duration of the connection?

[03:51] <|FrOst|> apt-get software :P
[03:51] <MajorVictory> anyone know of any programs that can retrieve files off a harddrive?
[03:51] <MajorVictory> it must also be free
[03:51] <RabidLockerGnome> Gmail doesn't offer THAT much space though
[03:51] <RabidLockerGnome> you need an external HDD
[03:51] <aman> ironmatar nothing happened just error "server not found"
[03:51] <Menth> depends on how dead the drive is
[03:52] <ChaosMachine> ugh. easy question that escapes my memory: how can I make this external hard drive so its readable by a normal user and not just su?
[03:52] <Sau2> soonce i changed the boot order, and removed the boot flag in the master disk i wont need to do anything such ass passing the boot flag to another partition?or editing the grub list??
[03:52] <mattg> i couldn't ever fill up my gmail, lol.  i have 3 accounts with them
[03:52] <IndyGunFreak> MajorVictory: how did you lose all this data?
[03:52] <GNine> ChaosMachine, u have to find a way to own it
[03:52] <RabidLockerGnome> must have lost it on the way to the bathroom
[03:52] <Badpenguin86> Is there anyway to get different boot screens?
[03:52] <aman> ironmatar r u there?
[03:52] <RabidLockerGnome> Badpenguin86, yes there is
[03:53] <RabidLockerGnome> what's it called guys, usplash or something?
[03:53] <Paddy_EIRE> MajorVictory, aptoncd... thats what you want
[03:53] <fevel> Can I install gizmo on ubuntu feisty? it doesnt seem to be in the repositories, and I didnt find a tutorial for it on google. Can someone please help?
[03:53] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: that will retrieve data from a formatted hard drive?
[03:53] <RabidLockerGnome> yes, aptoncd saved my life
[03:53] <RabidLockerGnome> nope
[03:53] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[03:53] <RabidLockerGnome> it will burn your downloaded packages to a repository CD
[03:53] <Badpenguin86> What is the easiest way to change boot screens?
[03:53] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, did he say his hdd was formatted.. I must have missed that
[03:53] <RabidLockerGnome> so it will save the stuff you install through apt, not your files
[03:54] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: i thought he did.
[03:54] <mattg> such a quick xp install!  LOL...virtualbox kicks arse!
[03:54] <GNine> formatted hdd.. there still should be traces of files that could be recovered
[03:54] <GNine> thats some heavy work tho
[03:55] <RabidLockerGnome> just start fresh, it's fun!
[03:55] <Paddy_EIRE> MajorVictory, what are the circumstances.. what exactly are you trying to do?
[03:55] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: not sure if he said it was formattd, or if the drive died.. it was one of the two.
[03:55] <aman> iromatar??
[03:55] <Paddy_EIRE> oh..
[03:55] <Paddy_EIRE> :P oops
[03:55] <IndyGunFreak> i don't think aptoncd will fix that.
[03:55] <rustalot> does Beagle search inside of ODF files?
[03:55] <ThatLazyGuy> How can i set up a dual display in Ubuntu, the first display is a lcd monitor and the second one is a TV with s-video
[03:55] <Sau2> ok here is the situation again. i want to use the my master hard disk which has a ntfs format and a boot flag as a storage for my slave disk which has ubuntu .changed the boot order, and removed the boot flag in the master disk i wont need to do anything such ass passing the boot flag to another partition?or editing the grub list??
[03:55] <RabidLockerGnome> grrrr i just want English US to show up... why must i see the other 20 variants? must find a way to hack it...
[03:56] <MajorVictory> Paddy_EIRE: well i was installing ubuntu
[03:56] <MajorVictory> the partition errored, then the power flickered
[03:56] <IndyGunFreak> sigh..
[03:56] <btenuto> If quicktime vids show up in weird colors, would one say it's due to the codecs?
[03:56] <MajorVictory> now my partition won't go back ntfs
[03:56] <obf213> how do i get a gui for a multiple session
[03:56] <obf213> for a different session
[03:56] <Paddy_EIRE> !enter | MajorVictory
[03:56] <ubotu> MajorVictory: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:56] <MajorVictory> and the windows install on it doesn't seem to work
[03:56] <IndyGunFreak> MajorVictory: why would you even begin to attempt something like partitioning a hard drive, w/o a reliable backup?

[03:57] <jshriver> ?
[03:58] <IndyGunFreak> MajorVictory: maybe you should have just considered sticking w/ Live CD's until you could afford to backup
[03:58] <IndyGunFreak> of course, thats all for naught now.
[03:58] <GNine> i dont like backin up stuff cuz i like the hard way.. but your not me either     lol

[04:05] <RabidLockerGnome> garrr this is whooping my bum
[04:06] <RabidLockerGnome> cannot install a locale for one darn country, have to do English for everybodyyyyy
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> Ubuntu_Rocks: check the wineapp database.
[04:06] <dyn4sty> oh my god, guys, EVERYTHING I try to do requires permission, I can't do anything. I'm losing my minds
[04:06] <RabidLockerGnome> you have multiple minds?
[04:07] <dyn4sty> yeah
[04:07] <IndyGunFreak> dyn4sty: use sudo.. thats what its for.
[04:07] <RabidLockerGnome> oh spares for when you lose them
[04:07] <dyn4sty> it still requires perm
[04:07] <RabidLockerGnome> type in your password?
[04:07] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:07] <RabidLockerGnome> are you not an administrator of the computer?
[04:07] <dyn4sty> yes I am, I installed ubuntu hours ago...
[04:08] <IndyGunFreak> running as admin is a bad idea.
[04:08] <RabidLockerGnome> then when it asks for your password, then type it
[04:08] <RabidLockerGnome> the same one you use for that account...
[04:08] <dyn4sty> i did, it goes on, but still requires perm, lol! im dying
[04:08] <Ubuntu_Rocks> dyn4sty: what are you trying to do?
[04:08] <GNine> bs.. ubuntu doest require root
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> it doesn't require a root account, i thinkw e all know that.
[04:09] <GNine> i made myself root tho.. bcuz i hold all the keys
[04:09] <RabidLockerGnome> agreed
[04:09] <dyn4sty> oh there are many things im trying to do... first im trying to get read write access on my harddisks, im also trying to get wine running and not to get errors while im trying to listen to music and use teamspeak
[04:09] <RabidLockerGnome> ...
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> dyn4sty: you should crawl before trying to run a marathon
[04:09] <ziggy> Qustion Why does it seem that you can't run anything on linux like you can run on windows ??????
[04:09] <floppyears> hi guys, I have a dvd reader that worked perfectly on my debian server
[04:09] <floppyears> I just put it in my functioning debian box
[04:10] <RabidLockerGnome> ziggy, because you upgraded
[04:10] <IndyGunFreak> ziggy: you can.. you just can't run any windows programs...
[04:10] <RabidLockerGnome> you upgraded to a functioning OS... :-P
[04:10] <floppyears> but ubuntu hangs with a blank screen & a blinking cursor
[04:10] <IndyGunFreak> ziggy: complain to software manufacturers, who don't make linux versions of their software.. its not Linux
[04:10] <IndyGunFreak> ''s fault
[04:10] <dyn4sty> IndyGunFreak those things are kinda basic stuff.... its something everyone needs...
[04:10] <Ubuntu_Rocks> dyn4sty: you trying to write to an ntfs partition?
[04:10] <wctraxler> so any way too defrag
[04:10] <floppyears> it doesn't even show grub :( any clues on what could be causing this ?
[04:10] <dyn4sty> Ubuntu_Rocks yes
[04:10] <wctraxler> your hard drive in this system
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> dyn4sty: what stuff?.. multimedia codecs aren't on by default, because technically the codecs are of questionable legality
[04:11] <ziggy> so what can i do because it seems to me i'm running around in circles i would like to learn the man commands so i can install things manuly
[04:11] <Ubuntu_Rocks> wctraxler: linux does not need to be defrged
[04:11] <wctraxler> whay?
[04:11] <ant-> !defrag | wctraxler
[04:11] <ubotu> wctraxler: defragmentation is not needed for Ext3 and ReiserFS filesystems. They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units.
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> dyn4sty: second, what hard drive to you need read/write access to?.. a NTFS?
[04:12] <wctraxler> ok just wondering
[04:12] <ziggy> is there a site that i can look at to learn the command lines for linux
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> !man
[04:12] <ubotu> The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[04:12] <ant-> wctraxler, there are defraggers out there
[04:12] <buntunu1> www.linuxquestions.org
[04:12] <FFForever> how do i remove my keyring?
[04:12] <wctraxler> ok was juat wondering
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> why would you install programs manually, unless its not in the repos?
[04:13] <Ubuntu_Rocks> dyn4sty: you can write to it if you network to your self. instead of trying to get a prog to work
[04:13] <dyn4sty> IndyGunFreak I have a USB soundcard and I get sound only if I set USB audio for input and output, other options wont work. and If Im trying to run teamspeak and listen to music, Musicplayer gives me an error, because audio device is in use...
[04:13] <GNine> stik to linux ubuntu questioning .. it might help u.. windows and ntfs are on the other side of the fence
[04:13] <Ubuntu_Rocks> ass the hard drive into your shared folder
[04:13] <floppyears> wctraxler: yes, I have an hdd and it was working fine before I put in the dvd rom
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> dyn4sty: i don' know... probably your device isn't 100% supported in Linux
[04:13] <dyn4sty> Ubuntu_Rocks im really new to linux I dont understand much of what you're saying... how am i supposed to network to myself
[04:13] <Ubuntu_Rocks> add... sorry
[04:13] <buntunu1> lol even then its just a matter of downloading the tarball, /.configure, make, make install
[04:13] <buntunu1> chkinstall for deps
[04:13] <Ubuntu_Rocks> :-!
[04:14] <floppyears> anybody has tips or a solution to my problem ?
[04:14] <mEck0> Is there any pim-app for linux where I can import my school schedule? The format is like this: http://nlost.his.se/Schedule.asp?startdate=20070827&enddate=&program=DVP05h&st=Program&export=Export
[04:14] <IndyGunFreak>  buntunu1:  rarely is that the case though
[04:14] <buntunu1> true
[04:14] <buntunu1> well..i had to do that to install pidgin tho
[04:14] <IndyGunFreak> buntunu1: if compiling were that easy, we'd have no repository of packages ready to go.
[04:14] <buntunu1> it IS that easy Indy
[04:14] <IndyGunFreak> buntunu1: there's .deb packages of pidgin out there to.
[04:15] <GNine> if u want to invest the time..
[04:15] <buntunu1> could not find those
[04:15] <SeveredCross> mEck0: That's CSV..you may be able to import it into OpenOffice Spreadsheet but that's about it.
[04:15] <GNine> i thank devs
[04:15] <buntunu1> wish I could have but I compiled it just as easy
[04:15] <IndyGunFreak> buntunu1: i didn't say it wasn't.., what i'm saying its easy to run into a lot of issues when compiling... and it frustrates newbs
[04:15] <IndyGunFreak> buntunu1: just cuz you couldn't find it, doesn't mean it isn't there...
[04:15] <Faithful> I am running breezy... is there a repository for me?
[04:15] <wctraxler> having trouble with network manager does not see this computer on my windows machine
[04:15] <Faithful> or MUST I upgrade?
[04:16] <GNine> !sambe
[04:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sambe - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:16] <GNine> !samba
[04:16] <naut> is the /etc/default/someapplication configuration file an ubuntu thing of a debian thing?
[04:16] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[04:16] <buntunu1> dont matter much so long as you have gcc and can compile stuff that you need
[04:16] <IndyGunFreak> Faithful: probably easiest to do a backup, and clean install feisty, otherwise you'll have to upgrade to dapper, then to edgy, then to feisty.. will take forever
[04:16] <wctraxler> ok thankjs
[04:16] <Ubuntu_Rocks> are there any good rpg servers i can get for my pc to play on the network, ive tried wesnoth and the like but looking for something more like www.RealmOnline.com
[04:16] <buntunu1> imo Samba blows
[04:16] <wctraxler> ok just checking
[04:16] <mEck0> SeveredCross: ahh, pity :( It works to import it in outlook, so I thought it would work in some app for linux too. Takes some time to manually add my schedule to my pda
[04:16] <buntunu1> use nfs or sshfs
[04:17] <SeveredCross> mEck0: You can try Evolution.
[04:17] <buntunu1> or strait fuse
[04:17] <Faithful> IndyGunFreak: I don't REALLY want to upgrade at all...
[04:17] <IndyGunFreak> Faithful: welll, you probably don't have a choice, breezy repos are starting to close.
[04:17] <GNine> samba blows me.. i like it
[04:17] <|FrOst|> lol SeveredCross :)
[04:17] <GNine> :-P
[04:17] <mEck0> SeveredCross: just tried it, didn't worked so well. Evolution added all entries like contacts, not in the calendar
[04:17] <floppyears> does anybody have an idea what could cause grub to hang ?
[04:18] <buntunu1> Samba is very slow and lotta folks have problems with it
[04:18] <Sau1> thanks!! it worked, i just passed the boot flag to the root partition
[04:18] <wctraxler> so is there a place to look up stuff for modems i have not been able too get one too work on it yet
[04:18] <Sau1> another quick question
[04:18] <buntunu1> nfs and sshfs couldnt be easier
[04:18] <GNine> what, u got a 20 puter network or sumthing?
[04:18] <buntunu1> and fast as heck
[04:18] <mrfr01> Does anyone know how to enable Atheros extensions in the kernel?
[04:18] <Faithful> IndyGunFreak: I have some custom stuff that I'm sure is gonna break if I do an upgrade.
[04:18] <Sau1> i want to boot a nfs partition on boot, but i dont want to boot it if i am outside my lan. is there an option to mount it at startup only if i am in my lan??
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak> Faithful: you can try to upgrade, but if you want to install Feisty, you're probably gonna be doing a clean install, cuz like i said, you'll have to upgrade to Dapper, then Dapper to edgy, then edgy to feisty, and it will take a while.
[04:19] <buntunu1> Sau1 you can write a custom script and put it in your /etc/init.d
[04:19] <xjkx> The difference between ubuntu and xubuntu is just xfce/gnome?
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak> xjkx: pretty much
[04:19] <xjkx> :o
[04:19] <FFForever> !keyring
[04:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about keyring - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:19] <Ubuntu_Rocks> any good rpg servers for ubuntu?
[04:19] <Sau1> ok i like it buntun
[04:19] <FFForever> how do i remove the keyring (lol)...
[04:19] <Sau1> wo
[04:20] <Sau1> so
[04:20] <mrfr01> !atheros
[04:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about atheros - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:20] <GNine> even tho the implementation of either does make a difference
[04:20] <Faithful> IndyGunFreak: I only need to install vacation... so I will see if I change my repo to dapper if it will do it with little impact.
[04:20] <buntunu1> there are some hints on how to do that in the sshfs and nfs guides
[04:20] <daytona89> alright. I followed the directions to install gfxboot. If something terrible happens and I can't boot up again, is there a way to fix it? (I'm about to reboot to check on it)
[04:20] <Sau1> i just would like some detail
[04:20] <ziggy> how do you play mp3 in linux ???
[04:20] <floppyears> can somebody help me with my grub hanging problem ?
[04:20] <buntunu1> you can find details in the guides thats what they are there for
[04:20] <ziggy> what program is the best
[04:21] <ziggy> id like to run winamp
[04:21] <IndyGunFreak> Faithful: id make a backup if i were you.
[04:21] <buntunu1> someone actually took the time to write these wikis that nobody uses lol
[04:21] <Faithful> IndyGunFreak: its all cool... vacation went in no problems from dapper.
[04:21] <ziggy> anysuggestions
[04:21] <Faithful> IndyGunFreak: Yes... I will
[04:21] <Sau1> :p
[04:21] <daytona89> ziggy:xmms is very winamp-like
[04:22] <Sau1> okay so i should check "how to make an init.d script" or some thing like that?
[04:22] <ziggy> thank you daytona
[04:22] <ziggy> for the help
[04:22] <daytona89> np.
[04:22] <soulrider> uhm, does ubuntu have a GUI from cron?
[04:22] <Tamale> can i get help with running WoW in linux here?  I'm getting an error when I start that says my graphics card isn't supported when I try to run in opengl (in d3d i'm getting about .5 fps) and when i try to start the launcher the downloader is just sitting at 16kB downloaded... help??
[04:22] <ziggy> its just hard to learn somthing with no help if you know what i mean
[04:22] <buntunu1> Sau1 you can use the ubuntu community docs
[04:23] <buntunu1> They are incredibly detailed with remarkable info in them
[04:23] <Sau1> ok thanks!
[04:23] <buntunu1> np
[04:23] <Sau1> ... where should i search for them?
[04:23] <Sau1> ubuntu forums perhaps?
[04:23] <buntunu1> imo this IRC should not be used until each person has thoroughly exhausted all available info on Ubuntu docs and google
[04:24] <buntunu1> If you have exhausted all information available on the web, then come here, again, imo
[04:24] <ToHellWithGA> buntunu1: /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:24] <Sau1> sorry not native english. what is imo?
[04:24] <ToHellWithGA> don't scare away the new folks, meanie
[04:24] <buntunu1> in my opinion
[04:24] <ToHellWithGA> Sau1: in my opinion
[04:25] <Tamale> it's just a different pronunciation of "emo"
[04:25] <Tamale>  :D
[04:25] <Sau1> dammit i hate those guys! and we dont still have enough of them!!
[04:25] <Tamale> is there a chat channel for wine problems?
[04:25] <buntunu1> As a complete newby to Linux I was able to solve all my issues getting ubuntu to work on my new laptop using ubuntu docs so I know its more than possible
[04:25] <macd> buntunu1, or the new users on the livecd clicking help.
[04:25] <Sau1> sorry
[04:25] <daytona89> ok, so I tried installing gfxboot, but there was no change whatsoever to my menu. Even though I uninstalled grub...
[04:26] <Sau1> well another quick question
[04:26] <Tamale> buntunu1: just 'cause you prefer to read documentation doesn't mean that's everyone's preferred means of getting assistance :)
[04:26] <buntunu1> i know i know Tamale just sayin
[04:26] <Sau1> i like to came here to get advice on what to do. then i get to the docs
[04:27] <kanuha> whats the best program to use to convert a mpg file to dvd?
[04:27] <macd> daytona89, did you sudo fdisk -l
[04:27] <macd> buntunu1, Tamale this is really offtopic though :)
[04:27] <buntunu1> Nothing wrong with coming to IRC except the people who answer questions here admirably volunteer thier time
[04:27] <Tamale> macd:  O
[04:27] <Tamale> macd: I'm done
[04:28] <Tamale> i just wanna get some help with WoW and Wine :P
[04:28] <floppyears> any clues on to why ubuntu won't boot with a dvd rom ?
[04:28] <mrfr01> Hello, I am attempting to get my wifi working on my new laptop, Atheros chipset, I need to reconfigure the kernel to do this, how can I reconfigure my kernel?
[04:28] <daytona89> macd: the directions didnt' say to do that. What does that do?
[04:28] <macd> daytona89, you should look over http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855  and compare that to the guide/steps you followed.
[04:29] <Sau1> but lets continue : i have think i have a damaged hard drive because i have several I/O buffer error messages and system locks. I have run fsck but it says its ok. I have heard that i should perform write tests. Could this really make the difference to tell if my hard drive is damaged???
[04:29] <macd> Sau1, not really
[04:29] <Scunizi> kanuha, I'd sure like to know myself.. found all the editors and have imported dvideo... now what? How do I get that on a DVD for viewing.
[04:29] <buntunu1> Tamale whats your issue with WoW?
[04:29] <macd> Sau1, chances are you have impending drive failure, or controller error
[04:29] <Sau1> whou
[04:30] <Sau1> but it is strange
[04:30] <macd> Scunizi, with something like avidemux you can export to dvd- then use K3B to burn that easily
[04:30] <kanuha> Scunizi, I use gnomebaker to burn video dvds
[04:30] <Sau1> when i have my laptop in a quiet place i have more time between system locks
[04:30] <Scunizi> macd, thanks.. does it actually create vob files? on the fly? or static.
[04:30] <Sau1> but if i move the computer from a place to another, it is more likely to freeze
[04:31] <macd> Scunizi, mpegs, then k3b makes that to a dvd image to burn
[04:31] <Scunizi> kanuha, k3b seems to work better
[04:31] <Sau1> sorry for my english im not nativ
[04:31] <ziggy> ok OK ok GOOD QUSTION WHATS THE BEST THING ON LINUX TO GET
[04:31] <Scunizi> macd thanks.. any special switches in k3b?
[04:31] <kanuha> macd, will gnomebaker do the same as k3b
[04:31] <buntunu1> Tamale whats your issue with WoW
[04:31] <macd> Scunizi, its gui
[04:31] <Tamale> bruntunu1:  an error when I start that says my graphics card isn't supported when I try to run in opengl (in d3d i'm getting about .5 fps) and when i try to start the launcher the downloader is just sitting at 16kB downloaded... help??
[04:31] <Sau1> hold a moment
[04:31] <macd> kanuha, and more
[04:31] <buntunu1> Tamale have you tried it with Cedega
[04:32] <Tamale> buntunu1: I don't have $ for cedega
[04:32] <ziggy> so umm your talking alian to me witch one agin ????
[04:32] <buntunu1> $5?
[04:32] <sonictwin> how do i check if i have i386 or amd64 version installed?
[04:32] <macd> ziggy, WOW thanks for the caps
[04:32] <macd> !whatsbest
[04:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about whatsbest - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:32] <Paddy_EIRE> does anyone know how to disable tooltips in gnome?
[04:32] <daytona89> macd: when I type grub-install /dev/X I get: "/dev/X not found or not a block device"
[04:32] <ziggy> NO PROBLEM
[04:33] <buntunu1> Tamale have you read the recent posts on Ubuntu forums about this issue?
[04:33] <macd> daytona89, you need to substitute /dev/X for your boot device, df -h will tell you so /dev/hda1 or some other number or /dev/sda1 or some other number
[04:33] <Scunizi> macd, I know I've got it ... but there are options in the program. GUI only shows New..audio cd,data cd, data DVD, Burn CD Image, Burn DVD ISO Image.... where does the mpg get converted to vob for DVD and viewing on a stand a lone player?
[04:33] <sonictwin> i have a core2duo and i think i installed i386 version of ubuntu
[04:33] <maestrojed> I am building a web server (technically a test server).  I will be running apache, php, etc.  All the standards.  I have never used the ubuntu build but have been curious about it.  I was thinking that I might us the ubuntu build for this project.  Is there any reason I should not use unbuntu for this app?  Is it a lot more resource intensive then say a typically linux build?
[04:33] <sonictwin> should i reinstall the amd64 version?
[04:33] <Tamale> bruntunu1:  I searched for my issue and couldn't find any posts, could you link me?
[04:33] <kanuha> macd, I already have a mpg file, how do I use gnomebaker to burn video dvd?
[04:34] <buntunu1> sec
[04:34] <Scunizi> maestrojed, nope.. try the Dapper LTS version of server.
[04:34] <macd> Scunizi, you should goto the file menu and click new video dvd project
[04:34] <mrfr01> Anyone? Trying to modify my kernel config, how do I do this Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn 7.04
[04:34] <macd> kanuha, I dont really use gnomebaker...
[04:34] <macd> !kernel
[04:34] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[04:34] <ziggy> Qustion where do i get the plug ins for linux with the time on the side pannel and like the callander that looks like Vista
[04:35] <snsone> is anyone active on #ubuntu-effects?i have some problems
[04:35] <Scunizi> macd, COOL! Didn't think to look there.. (hit forehead with hammer)
[04:35] <buntunu1> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=496876&highlight=warcraft
[04:35] <macd> ziggy, what you want is gnome-desktop-applets, so click applications -- add/remove and search for gdesklets
[04:35] <Starblazer> questions -- I'm trying to get mail-notification working again over ssh
[04:35] <buntunu1> looks like your not the only one with this issue
[04:35] <floppyears> does anybody have an idea what would make grub not show up because I insert a dvd rom ?
[04:35] <ziggy>  #ubuntu-effects
[04:35] <buntunu1> yaay for windows mmorpgs lol
[04:35] <Starblazer> anything I do, backpedaling to 3.0, using the 4.0 .deb from the forum, using the .deb from the repo
[04:35] <maestrojed> Scunizi: thanks much (that is a version of Unbuntu, right?)
[04:35] <macd> ziggy, you also want to change the dropdown in the add/remove program box to all  applications
[04:35] <Starblazer> it keep segfaulting when it tries to check
[04:36] <Tamale> buntunu1: it appears this is a thread about intel problems, i have an ATI card and I'm trying to use Wine, not cedega
[04:36] <buntunu1> read all 3 pages
[04:36] <macd> floppyears, what do you mean grub not showup ? when you boot a dvdrom?
[04:36] <Scunizi> macd, yea... running Dapper in production and Feisty gnome & kde in another partition.. Using Feisty cause it's the one that recognized my firewire card.
[04:36] <buntunu1> have you been able to run WoW before?
[04:37] <buntunu1> if not then its either a video card issue or a video driver issue
[04:37] <sonictwin> WoW works perfect in wine. better than windows i think.
[04:37] <Sau1> anyone?
[04:37] <Tamale> wow works fine in windows
[04:37] <buntunu1> OR you installed WoW incorrectly for wine
[04:37] <scam> is it worth buying cedega?
[04:37] <Tamale> but i cannot start it in opengl through wine
[04:37] <scam> or just use wine
[04:38] <maestrojed> Scunizi: I see now.  Thanks again
[04:38] <buntunu1> scam Cedega is definitely worth it
[04:38] <arooni> how do i get the package: libtoolize
[04:38] <buntunu1> IF you play newer games or games that require alot of setups
[04:38] <macd> arooni, hi :), did you try apt-cache search libtoolize
[04:38] <Tamale> i'm mostly confused by the launcher
[04:38] <buntunu1> if you just want to run simple windows apps then wine is more than adequete
[04:38] <Tamale> it loads up
[04:38] <floppyears> macd: no, I have ubuntu in my hd installed
[04:38] <Tamale> but then hangs at 16KB downloaded
[04:38] <Tamale> i just wnat the newest patch
[04:38] <floppyears> but when I put the dvd rom ubuntu's grub doesn't show in the screen
[04:39] <sonictwin> would it be worth my while to reinstall ubuntu for my core2duo- from i386 to amd64 ???
[04:39] <scam> buntunu1, sudo apt-get install libtool
[04:39] <floppyears> just a blank screen with a blinking cursor on the top
[04:39] <buntunu1> scam: ?
[04:39] <sonictwin> is there a way to do it without reinstalling?
[04:39] <arooni> macd, nope.... what about aclocal
[04:39] <macd> floppyears, when you boot with is, or when you just insert it when its already booted
[04:39] <Sau1> gotta go
[04:39] <Scunizi> maestrojed, no problem.. sorry I didn't see your post previously.. Server help can be had in #ubuntu-server
[04:40] <imati0n_> hola
[04:40] <macd> arooni, yeah I dont see either of those in any of the official repos, have you googled at all yet out of curiosity?
[04:41] <macd> arooni, wait this is part of autoconf, do you have autoconf installed? or build-essential ?
[04:41] <floppyears> macd: I insert the dvd rom when the pc is powered off
[04:41] <Starblazer> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35198/ is the error/backtrace I get from mail-notification
[04:42] <floppyears> when I try to boot them, the machine hangs before showing grub
[04:42] <Paddy_EIRE> yaaay I got completely rid of tooltips :D
[04:42] <floppyears> but the bios recognizes the dvd rom just fine
[04:42] <macd> floppyears, so you are trying to boot off the dvdrom, if you put it in when its off, then turn it on and it cant boot from the dvd that is what will happen.
[04:42] <floppyears> no, I'm trying to boot of the hd
[04:42] <macd> so it does the same thing without the dvd in the drive?
[04:42] <floppyears> macd: I disabled the boot from dvd rom option in the bios, so it shouldn't even be trying to boot from it
[04:43] <floppyears> the first device it tries to boot from is the hd
[04:43] <macd> if you try it without it in the drive and it works, obviously that narrows the issue, thats the first thing Id try you might be barking up the wrong tree, it could be a bootloader issue instead
[04:44] <macd> Starblazer, you should file a bug with the package on launchpad.net under the ubuntu project
[04:44] <Starblazer> kk -- tyty.  One of those "dont know if i'm a complete idiot" type scenarios -- just installed today from gentoo
[04:45] <macd> Starblazer, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+filebug/+login
[04:45] <macd> Starblazer, and no its just a program error, so you should paste that info from pastebin there as well
[04:45] <Starblazer> 'course
[04:45] <Starblazer> that's why i did the backtrace
[04:45] <Starblazer> ;)
[04:45] <macd> Starblazer, something else you might want to try, is using gdb and get that output, are you familiar with howto use it?
[04:45] <macd> nvm.
[04:45] <macd> yeah I didnt even look at that

[04:49] <krammer> i have radieon 1400
[04:49] <floppyears> :(
[04:49] <bruenig> Ashfire908, that question is a bit confusing
[04:49] <bruenig> Ashfire908, it needs xorg
[04:49] <macd> floppyears, sounds liek you solved your problem then
[04:49] <floppyears> has anybody else run into my problem: dvd drive doesn't let grub boot ?
[04:50] <Dusk_> xtknight: in the ubuntu documanteries it says you can't have 3d acc unless installing fglrx
[04:50] <Pelo> floppyears, what ?
[04:50] <MttJocy> et
[04:51] <macd> Pelo, this has be going on for a while ;P, the dvd is in the drive and it wont boot of the HD, with it out it does, he doesnt get thats what its supposed todo
[04:51] <keith> I've installed my nvidia drivers before with no problem by adding nv to the linux-restricted-modules-common, but now I can't seem to get it to work. Has anyone else had this problem?
[04:51] <floppyears> macd: but I want to be able to use that dvd rom, why can debian use it perfectly fine and not ubuntu ?
[04:51] <macd> you put the dvd in after the computer it turned on.
[04:51] <floppyears> Pelo: I connect dvd rom and grub doesn't show up, bios lists the dvd rom just fine,
[04:51] <Pelo> floppyears,  try changing the boot order in the bios
[04:51] <floppyears> Pelo: when dvd drive is not connected grub shows and boots
[04:52] <keith> It brings up an error that says "API mismatch"
[04:52] <floppyears> Pelo: I did
[04:52] <floppyears> I even disabled the dvd rom from the boot order
[04:52] <bruenig> floppyears, this is not an ubuntu problem just to respond to your debian thing, it is questionable if you would even call this a linux question
[04:52] <Ashfire908> bruenig i installed the CLI system from the alt install, ran updates, and did "apt-get install xfce4". do i need to install anything like gdm (i'm actually fine with a text login)
[04:52] <bruenig> floppyears, as the kernel hasn't yet even been initiated
[04:53] <Pelo> floppyears, are the dvd-rom and the hdd on the  same strap ?
[04:53] <bruenig> Ashfire908, probably depends on your definition of need
[04:54] <keith> when I try to start the gdm, it says "API mismatch: this nvidia driver component has version 100.14.11, but the nvidia kernel module's version does not match". Can someone please help me?
[04:54] <Ashfire908> bruenig, "need" in this case means the system won't work right (xfce4 desktop/gui will not work)
[04:55] <bruenig> Ashfire908, I imagine that xfce is just a meta package to begin with, I don't think you will need anything else but that is really hard to know because you could have an incompetent packager
[04:55] <bruenig> !info xfce4
[04:55] <ubotu> xfce4: meta-package for xfce4 dependencies. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.3.99.1 (feisty), package size 4 kB, installed size 48 kB
[04:55] <rinman> Hi all, I'm having some problems getting SSL to work with apache and SVN on my edgy installation, is this the right place to ask for help?
[04:55] <bruenig> Ashfire908, don't install it with aptitude
[04:56] <Adlai_> I have a computer with two hard drives, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.  Windows XP is installed to /dev/sda1.  I just installed ubuntu to /dev/sdb (default partitioning), and I believe it installed grub to /dev/sda.  Now, Windows won't boot correctly.  What is the fastest way to fix this (emphasis on getting windows to boot and not losing data)?
[04:56] <ironmatar> how to get the nvidai app lib
[04:56] <Ashfire908> bruenig: i used apt-get. i have no gui
[04:56] <bruenig> aptitude is not gui
[04:57] <bruenig> unless you count ncurses or whatever that thing that shoots up when you run with no arguments is
[04:57] <hansel> Adlai_ - edit your grub.conf... are you able to at least boot ubuntu right now?
[04:57] <Adlai_> yeah
[04:57] <Adlai_> ubuntu boots fine
[04:57] <obf213> anyone know of any good books to learn terminal and shell scripting so i can stop being such a noob at this
[04:57] <bruenig> hansel, menu.lst
[04:57] <keith> Unix Power Tools by O'Reilly is pretty good
[04:57] <sam_> i need help with my toshiba laptop
[04:57] <floppyears> Pelo: no, the hd is sata and the dvd drive is ide
[04:57] <hansel> Adlai_ /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:58] <Ashfire908> bruenig: i'd rather not have a bunch of errors.
[04:58] <bruenig> obf213, identify a task, figure out how to do that task via the internets, that is how I learned, but truly understand what you are doing when you do it
[04:58] <Adlai_> I can select windows and the windows bootloader starts, but it asks me to boot to safe mode or whatnot, and when I select that, it starts loading modules and then hard-reboots
[04:58] <sam_> i cannot boot into vista
[04:58] <floppyears> bruenig: I'm hoping somebody in this channel can help me
[04:58] <hansel> sam_ consider that a blessing
[04:58] <keith> So no one has any help to offer with my video card :(
[04:58] <Adlai_> I think it fails on agp440.sys or something
[04:58] <Ashfire908> bruenig: if i restart and log in will i still be command line?
[04:58] <Pelo> floppyears, I'm guessing that the dvd-rom is damages and is not "checking" properly at boot so it borkes the sequence
[04:58] <julius_> Hello
[04:58] <sam_> no, [sighs]  i need to boot into vista to use my new laptop
[04:58] <bruenig> floppyears, yeah I just meant to point out that the "this works with debian thing" is kind of silly as no aspect of the kernel or even grub has started so it can't be blamed on anything but the bios
[04:59] <apocalypti> how do i access a ti-84+se calc in linux?
[04:59] <DARKGuy> keith: well... there might be a solution though it's at your own risk =/ use a program named Envy to remove -anything- nvidia-related, and reinstall your nvidia driver manually again
[04:59] <julius_> Is it possible to get the access of the file's list that are in a website folder when there's a "index.htm" at the root of this folder ?
[04:59] <Pelo> bbl
[04:59] <dezmin> apocalypti, does it come with linux software?
[04:59] <bruenig> Ashfire908, see what it installs
[04:59] <DARKGuy> keith: I'd help you in another way but I don't know how to remove that nasty error yet
[04:59] <bruenig> Ashfire908, apt-cache show xfce4 | grep Depends
[04:59] <DARKGuy> other than using that method.
[04:59] <sam_> i need help with grub an vista
[04:59] <apocalypti> dezmin: just windows. i was wonderinmg if anyone knew of a homebrew
[05:00] <Ashfire908> bruenig it installed everything it depends on
[05:00] <keith> DARKGuy: are you familiar with my error?
[05:00] <julius_> Maybe with wget ?
[05:00] <bruenig> Ashfire908, the package xfce4 is virtually empty
[05:00] <bruenig> Ashfire908, it is like 44 kb
[05:00] <arooni> hey folks i installed sun's java.... but how do i tell eclipse to look for that java?  i'm getting an erroRE: 'a java runtime enviorment (JRE) or java dev kit(JDK) must be avialble in order to run eclipse
[05:00] <DARKGuy> keith: Had it happen 3-4 times in my nvidia+ubuntu life
[05:00] <floppyears> bruenig: I wasn't trying to blame a program or component, I was just trying to describe the problem
[05:00] <arooni> how do i fix
[05:00] <Ashfire908> bruenig lol
[05:00] <sam_> I NEED TO BOOT IN TO VISTA USING GRUB HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
[05:00] <bruenig> Ashfire908, it is a means of grouping packages
[05:00] <bruenig> !caps | sam
[05:00] <ubotu> sam: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[05:00] <sam_> sorry, got mad there
[05:00] <keith> DARKGuy: what's more annoying is it worked before... I guess the driver is newer than the last one I used though...
[05:00] <DARKGuy> keith: I've found Envy removes it, but I don't really know what does it do "under the hood" to remove it, but it does.
[05:01] <julius_> sam_, edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:01] <thinsoldier> any web developers in here?
[05:01] <Ashfire908> bruenig had 155 MB uncompressed
[05:01] <keith> DARKGuy: So Envy fixed the problem for you?
[05:01] <bruenig> !info xfce4 | Ashfire908

[05:01] <sam_> using grub how might i bot into my new copy of vista
[05:01] <Ashfire908> thinsoldier: that's a broad term
[05:01] <sam_> boot
[05:01] <zeeble> sam_:  yikes. edit your grub conf. at /boot/grub/menu.lst the file is pretty well commented. it will have an entry for booting to Windows.. you just got to make sure it is uncommented. then reboot
[05:01] <bruenig> Ashfire908, woops 48 kb, I was closer
[05:01] <zeeble> sam_: you had ubuntu installed first, and then installed vista?
[05:01] <Ashfire908> bruenig: it lies
[05:01] <sam_> i tied that, didn't work, black screen
[05:01] <bruenig> Ashfire908, no, it is describing the size of the dependencies
[05:01] <bruenig> Ashfire908, not of the package itself
[05:01] <sam_> no other way around
[05:01] <zeeble> sam_: hm. i have a laptop that boots xp, vista and ubuntu... works fine.
[05:02] <bruenig> Ashfire908, the package itself is probably just a changelog judging from other meta-packages
[05:02] <julius_> sam_, did you check the MBR before installing Ubuntu ?
[05:02] <Ashfire908> bruenig: i installed the dependincey
[05:02] <sam_> ?
[05:02] <julius_> :(
[05:02] <sam_> am i in trouble?
[05:02] <julius_> I can't explain that in english
[05:02] <zeeble> sam_: on which drive is your windows installed? paste your /boot/grub/menu.lst in pastebin
[05:02] <sam_> C:?
[05:02] <Ashfire908> bruenig: i'll just restart and see what happens
[05:02] <bruenig> Ashfire908, it is not like you are going to break anything, just go for it and see, cautiousness is really rather pointless hear, if something fails, you just fix it, no problem
[05:02] <zeeble> meh
[05:02] <bruenig> here*
[05:03] <Ashfire908> bruenig: lol nice timing :)
[05:03] <sam_>  /dev/sda2?
[05:03] <zeeble> sam_: paste your grub config file, menu.lst in pastebin.com
[05:03] <sam_> what will that do?
[05:03] <zeeble> a2? what's a1?
[05:03] <Ashfire908> ok
[05:03] <thinsoldier> ok, Anyone in here have a suggestion for a non-technically enclined user who needs to do some web development involving php, phpmyadmin, mysql, apache and who is very accustomed to a well integrated "suite" of all these apps being preconfigured to work together (like UniformServer in Windows)?
[05:03] <DARKGuy> keith: Yes it did
[05:03] <sam_> HELP
[05:03] <sam_> HELP
[05:03] <sam_> HELP
[05:04] <hansel> thinsoldier - apt-get install mysql php apache
[05:04] <zeeble> sam_: if everything else fails, you can still use the vista dvd in recovery mode, or something, and follow the procedure to boot to windows
[05:04] <bruenig> !stop | sam_
[05:04] <ubotu> sam_: NOTICE - Please stop this discussion NOW. See !offtopic for things that are inappropriate to discuss in this channel. Continuing will result in action being taken.
[05:04] <thinsoldier> did that hansel
[05:04] <thinsoldier> where do they go?
[05:04] <zeeble> sam_: and _stop_ repeating, and typing in upper case.
[05:04] <keith> DARKGuy: Thanks, I'll give that a try. Is it in the repo? Or do I need to google it?
[05:04] <thinsoldier> how to i access them?
[05:04] <DARKGuy> keith: Then I reinstalled my driver and everything went cool. It usually happened to me when I installed the 9631 driver, then had to change to an old card which used nvidia-glx-legacy and everything screwed up with that damn message
[05:04] <Scunizi> thinsoldier, amaya
[05:04] <DARKGuy> keith: Google "ubuntu envy" and you'll find it, first or second link I think
[05:04] <rinman> I have just installed SSL for apache as by the ubuntu tutorial, but now when I try wgetting the page i get "ERROR: certificate common name `s.p10.hostingprod.com' doesn't match requested host name `my.host.com'". What didn't I do or did wrong?
[05:04] <sam_> i don't have a vista dvd, i onlt have a toshiba recovery dvd that will destroy all 25 gigs of my data
[05:05] <julius_> Maybe you can help a poor student to pass his exams ? :) Just tell me if It's possible to get access to files that are in a folder protected by an index.htm file. Can wget DL an entire folder without links on the files ?
[05:05] <hansel> thinsoldier they should all be installed... go to /var/www and throw an index.php in there with the following  <?php phpinfo(); ?>
[05:05] <hansel> thinsoldier then go to http://127.0.0.1
[05:05] <zeeble> sam_: oh great
[05:05] <DARKGuy> keith: I've heard it's on the repos too but I'm not sure if it's the latest version.
[05:05] <thinsoldier> what does /var/ stand for anyway. I've always wondered
[05:05] <sam_> a folder
[05:05] <zeeble> sam_: dunno then
[05:05] <bruenig> thinsoldier, variable
[05:05] <bruenig> thinsoldier, things that change a lot, like logs
[05:05] <bruenig> and spools
[05:05] <sam_> should i backup what i can and recover?
[05:06] <obf213> arooni i ahd the problem too
[05:06] <zeeble> sam_: well, since nothing else seems to be working for you, you could try that
[05:06] <Fonon> hi
[05:06] <sam_> zeeble, i thank you for your help
[05:06] <zeeble> sam_: first back up anyway, then if you have a XP cd, try to boot in rescue mode with that. see if that works. in worst case, reinstall
[05:07] <thinsoldier> ok how do I start apache/
[05:07] <zeeble> thinsoldier: /etc/init.d/httpd start
[05:07] <po0f> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[05:07] <mactimes> sam_: if you have xp cd, try to boot in rescue mode.  type fixmbr in the command prompt and try to reboot
[05:07] <ckin2001> sudo apachectl start
[05:07] <Scunizi> thinsoldier, or /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[05:08] <thinsoldier> zeeble: how do I turn that into a shortcut file I can just doubleclick when i want it turned on / off?
[05:08] <aman> anybody plz help me

[05:10] <hansel> thinsoldier most pkgs install to standard locations.. ./usr/bin for normal usr stuff and /usr/sbin for admin stuff
[05:10] <Scunizi> rinman,  If nobody here can answer try #ubuntu-server
[05:10] <julius_> the -c and -m arguments doesn't do that
[05:10] <rinman> oki, thx
[05:10] <aman> hansel ubuntu detects my network card
[05:10] <hansel> thinsoldier - when in doubt you can           locate file      or         which command
[05:10] <tenemag> Hi, anyone here know about vBulliten and MySQL by any chance?
[05:10] <julius_> -r and -m sorry
[05:11] <zeeble> aman: well, and an address is assigned. so what is the problem?
[05:11] <hansel> aman - so when you try to sudo dhclient eth2 for example what happens?
[05:11] <zeeble> aman: can you ping 64.233.187.99?
[05:11] <ckin2001> if wget can dl the index file, it can get the rest
[05:11] <aman> i haven't done that
[05:11] <julius_> ckin2001, the index file doesn't have any links on the file
[05:11] <julius_> on the other files*
[05:12] <hansel> tenemag - we do... what exactly do you want to do?
[05:12] <thinsoldier> mysql is not in my usr/bin
[05:12] <aman> i can just ping my gateway nathing else
[05:12] <hansel> thinsoldier - mine is.
[05:12] <thinsoldier> what's the file name?
[05:12] <aman> my network card is eth0
[05:12] <zeeble> aman: if you can ping your gateway, everything works fine.
[05:12] <thinsoldier> I see mysql-navigator
[05:12] <zeeble> aman: you prolly dont have your DNS set up properly. try to ping the ip i gave you earlier
[05:12] <julius_> ckin2001, that's why wget only DL the index.htm file :(
[05:13] <tenemag> hansel: Having some issues trying to create / edit / delete forums
[05:13] <hansel> tenemag - consult the documentation... the website has TONS of FAQs on that.
[05:13] <bulmer> julius_: look into the -r option
[05:13] <tenemag> we just switched servers...  and now we create a forum, but when we go to the main page, it doesn't show up right away
[05:13] <tenemag> when it does finally show up, it can't be deleted as it can't be found
[05:13] <ironmatar> trying to remeber how to get the nvidia driver  for manuel install
[05:13] <tenemag> however, people can post to the forum
[05:14] <bulmer> tenemag: clear the cache on your clients, and see if same results
[05:14] <julius_> bulmet, it just says it turns on recursive retrieving. I already tried it
[05:14] <teKnofreak> aman, check the gateway address and DNS, if you are not sure, ask your ISP
[05:14] <ckin2001> you could email the sysadmin and ask for links to the files julius
[05:14] <tenemag> bulmer: Tried that
[05:15] <julius_> ckin2001, xD not a good idea
[05:15] <tenemag> bulmer: this is a *very* large forum with 5000+ users
[05:15] <Ninja> Anyone ever make a custom install CD?
[05:15] <ckin2001> wget cant get around permissions
[05:15] <ckin2001> or .htaccess requiring a password
[05:15] <thinsoldier> I do not have permission to write to /var/wee
[05:15] <bulmer> tenemag: so? you are only clearing one client cache..to make sure its not picking up whats in the cache
[05:16] <tenemag> bulmer: i'm talking through the admin control panel as well
[05:16] <tenemag> bulmer: it shows up in the drop down selection menu
[05:16] <Scunizi> thinsoldier, with sudo "command" you can write to any directory
[05:16] <julius_> ckin2001, the files doesn't require any passwords. I know the name of some of the files.
[05:16] <tenemag> I try to delete it but it wont let me
[05:16] <tenemag> says it doesn't exist
[05:16] <ckin2001> can you wget those files then?
[05:16] <tenemag> i check MySQL and I dont see a forum with that ID there
[05:16] <julius_> ckin2001, it's not a .htaccess. Only an index.htm
[05:16] <tenemag> nor the name
[05:16] <julius_> ckin2001, yes I can
[05:16] <tenemag> however on the main page it shows up
[05:16] <thinsoldier> Scunizi how to do it via GUI?
[05:17] <bulmer> tenemag: what app server is it on?
[05:17] <Scunizi> thinsoldier, are you trying to copy a file?
[05:17] <thinsoldier> ye
[05:17] <thinsoldier> yes
[05:17] <tenemag> it's a Fedora server running MySQL and Apache
[05:17] <tenemag> posts and everything else works
[05:17] <bulmer> tenemag may i hit from where i am?
[05:17] <tenemag> only thing that doesn't work is forum creation / modification
[05:17] <bulmer> tenemag may i hit it from where i am?
[05:17] <Scunizi> thinsoldier, you can use gksudo nautilus to get a gui file manager.  But be VERY careful you don't delete something that is neccessary.
[05:18] <tenemag> bulmer: do you have a VNC client?
[05:18] <tenemag> I can let you access my desktop remotely
[05:18] <thinsoldier> i need to make it so I can save files in /var/www
[05:18] <bulmer> tenemag i believe my dapper do, i have not use vnc for quite sometime..i even forget the correct command ..i also have freenx
[05:19] <tonyyarusso> thinsoldier: You can either use sudo, or add yourself to the www-data group, depending on the level of security you require.
[05:19] <tanis> mhmh
[05:19] <searayman> how can i find the path to my QT files?
[05:19] <nathan__> how do I change which workgroup my ubuntu machine is on?
[05:19] <tonyyarusso> Scunizi: That can also create files with root ownership that occasionally lead to weird bad things.

[05:29] <bulmer> thinsoldier: ls -la /var/www and see who the owner is..only owners should be able to write to that dir or member of that group that owns it
[05:29] <vrkhans> only lo and etho
[05:29] <vrkhans> what does that mean
[05:29] <Menth> sounds like it isnt installed
[05:29] <drsmaw> I'll try that thanks, the wiki or ubuntu forums didn;t have much, but u did. thanks
[05:29] <bulmer> vrkhans: it meant the wifi nic card is not detected yet.

[05:30] <vrkhans> then what should I do
[05:30] <bulmer> vrkhans: if you enable the wifi too, and have the wired connection at same time..it will mess up your route table..so make sure you know what you're doing
[05:31] <aman> bulmer
[05:31] <bulmer> vrkhans: whats the name of that wifi nic card?
[05:31] <vrkhans> bulmer no I want to keep one  on at a time

[05:35] <vrkhans> but only option wired network card option is avali
[05:36] <thedash> is there a way to set Feisty up so that it automatically logs in instead of waiting for a prompt all the time ?
[05:36] <Menth> never turn it off :D
[05:37] <aman> bulmer do u have any idea of solving the problem
[05:37] <vrkhans> bulmer I dont see the any driver with rlt

[05:40] <arun> jamesinator: ha, or else?
[05:40] <aman> bulmer i m having a direct wired connection
[05:40] <bulmer> aman but you want to load the wifi too?
[05:40] <Menth> aman you tried "dhclient eth0" right?
[05:41] <aman> no i have not tried it yet
[05:41] <Jamesinator> arun: It loads frequently used apps in idle memory for fast-loading when you open them, but from what I've heard it isn't exactly Orbitz-shine squeaky clean of bugs
[05:41] <vrkhans> bulmer I my wireless is not working
[05:41] <Jamesinator> arun: Other than that, I dunno

That is, it's not ASCII (as a regexp would be) it is collating sequence, and the default collating sequence is AaBbCc etc. Try it - do "touch A B C D E F G" in your home directory, then ls, and you'll see B collating after A and a, but before C or c.
[05:50] <zeeble> Ashfire908: or if you want to start manually, put exec xfce, or exec xfce-session in ~/.xsession and do startx

[05:58] <thinsoldier> bulmer but isn't it not safe to go about your daily business as a root user?
[05:58] <ironmatar> yes
[05:59] <zeeble> Parisi: it works fine. a little more eye candy out of the box than earlier..

[05:59] <zeeble> Ashfire908: btw, how come you dont have a display manager? you dont want to run it?
[05:59] <zeeble> Ashfire908: ah, ok
[05:59] <bulmer> thinsoldier: no, but all you asked is who can write to that dir..
[05:59] <zeeble> Ashfire908: i thought you have x installed.
[05:59] <Parisi> zeeble, performance wise? Faster?
[05:59] <ironmatar> i have a 8500gt fanless gigbyte and it wont be suported til gutsy
[05:59] <thinsoldier> ok, now I need to be able to write to the dir as well

[05:59] <kaho> hmm
[05:59] <mick_laptop> hi everyone - i was just at a friend's house and i saw that he has some app that autodetects if a drive is encrypted and automatically asks for a password and automatically mounts it (he has ubuntu) -- he said it came standard w/ it -- anyone know the name of that package?

[06:02] <bullgard4> XdorotaX: Usually you will put a downloaded .tar.gz file in your default download folder. This is usually 'desktop'. As An alternative you can create a folder 'downloads' and put it there. As a rule, only then you will 'install' your .tar.gz file.

[06:03] <DJ_Danni> what can i do?
[06:03] <zeeble> Ashfire908: not sure :p

[06:03] <vrkhans> +
[06:03] <mick_laptop> DJ_Danni: start it perhaps? # /etc/init.d/sshd start
[06:03] <arooni> if i accidently tried to install alsa from source and used 'sudo make install... instead of make install'.... is that a problem?
[06:03] <mick_laptop> tego: qemu to play xp games is a bad idea
[06:04] <calc> cafuego: it looks like whatever you name the overall account is where it sticks the mail into?
[06:04] <bulmer> vrkhans: am trying to figure out which of those will be for your rt  nic card..i cant seem to correlate
[06:04] <mick_laptop> tego: it is slow as hell -- try wine instead (your mileage mwill vary)
[06:04] <foxray> i installed xubuntu-desktop and it removed gnome-system-tools and ubuntu-desktop, anything i should be worried about? I still want to use gnome
[06:04] <DJ_Danni> command not found

[06:05] <vrkhans> bulmer this is the output for my lspci:  Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20)
[06:05] <calc> cafuego: ah, thanks :)
[06:05] <bulmer> vrkhans tell you what..you can try loading each of those modules, one by one
[06:05] <mick_laptop> tego: you need to look at the mailing list -- i posted something about how to make xp work on qemu
[06:05] <murlidhar> i have just installed my ubuntu and the login screen comes after about 5min . Can anybody tell me why is it so slow????
[06:05] <ckin2001> bulmer - did you guys try modprobe yet?
[06:05] <bulmer> vrkhans all the modules here  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ieee80211
[06:05] <mick_laptop> tego: it wasn't in the docs when i messed with it
[06:06] <bulmer> ckin2001: we dont know what to modprobe, i just told him to insmod whats on that dir
[06:06] <vrkhans> bulmer: but why then it is not working
[06:06] <vrkhans> bulmer: if it is already loaded
[06:06] <ckin2001> bulmer: modprobe -t net will try all network modules
[06:06] <bulmer> vrkhans: its not working because you dont have the modules loaded yet
[06:06] <DJ_Danni> mick_laptop Comand not found
[06:07] <bulmer> ckin2001: is that so? am taking a note of this tip
[06:07] <vrkhans> bulmer: then how do i find out
[06:07] <murlidhar> i have just installed my ubuntu and the login screen comes after about 5min . Can anybody tell me why is it so slow????
[06:07] <mick_laptop> apt-cache search ssh
[06:07] <ckin2001> lemme make sure
[06:07] <mick_laptop> DJ_Danni: when you find the name for the ssh server package - install it
[06:07] <bulmer> vrkhans: try what ckin2001 suggested..  moprobe -t net
[06:07] <ckin2001> that was when I used fedora core
[06:07] <bulmer> vrkhans: wait..he is not sure..hehehe

[06:10] <vrkhans> bulmer: whould I try that moprobe -t net or not
[06:10] <mick_laptop> tego: and see if something comes up
[06:11] <sarixe> bulmer : it's tsclient
[06:11] <sarixe> thanks though
[06:11] <bulmer> sarixe: i did a dpkg -l |grep terminal and i dont recognize the results as being terminal server client
[06:11] <sarixe> and mick_laptop : that's what it is
[06:11] <tehk> Anyone know if there is a way to trick your sound card into out putting the same stream on some of my 5.1 ports? I want to see if I can have two of my outs going to my tv yet put out the same single audio stream as my headphones

[06:12] <bulmer> vrkhans did it do anything
[06:12] <bulmer> ?
[06:13] <zeeble> Ashfire908: now type startx
[06:13] <mick_laptop> if i have an encrypted disk, i just want it to know that it is encrypted
[06:13] <vrkhans> bulmer: no , ask for com
[06:13] <mick_laptop> and ask for a password
[06:13] <dras> hey guys . i've got a laptop hooked up to my monitor through VGA out. everything works great except for video, all I see on the monitor is blue. any ideas how to display video over VGA out ?

[06:14] <bulmer> vrkhans i dont know..remember someone suggested it..
[06:14] <mick_laptop> atm i'm doing: tail dmesg then: cryptsetup openLuks /dev/mapper/.... whatever -- and it is annoying
[06:14] <amidaniel> xubu: chown -R username:usergroup *
[06:14] <Ashfire908> zeeble: what's the command to reinstall something
[06:14] <xubu> amifaniel: thanks
[06:15] <bulmer> vrkhans  see whats the content of that rt2561.bin file in /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/
[06:15] <mick_laptop> dras: make sure you have the right driver installed and configure xorg.conf accordingly (stfw for your computer's make/model and / or your videocard)
[06:15] <GNine> !chown
[06:15] <ubotu> 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
[06:16] <bulmer> xubu: only do what amidaniel suggested in the correct directory
[06:16] <xubu> amifaniel: worked perdectly thankyou
[06:16] <mick_laptop> Ashfire908: dpkg-reconfigure or apt-get/aptitude install...
[06:16] <arooni> i needed to get alsa installed from source... i did 'sudo make install' instead of 'make install'... is this bad?
[06:16] <xubu> amifaniel: perfectly
[06:16] <mick_laptop> Ashfire908: depending what you are talking about -- we don't "reinstall" we either install or uninstall
[06:16] <xubu> bulmer: did, thanks for the caution thought
[06:16] <mick_laptop> Ashfire908: and configure
[06:18] <Ashfire908> mick_laptop ho do i remove xsystem and reinstall cause i want clean config files
[06:19] <kauer> Tasmaniac: try 'ls | grep "^[A-Z] "'
[06:20] <ironmatar> blargh
[06:20] <GNine> there is no restore option in ubuntu
[06:20] <kauer> Tasmaniac: Or set LC_COLLATE to something else (dunno what though - maybe there's an "ASCII" LC-COLLATE?)
[06:20] <Ashfire908> mick_laptop nm
[06:20] <GNine> only backup.. and u didnt make one
[06:20] <mick_laptop> Ashfire908: ctrl + alt F2 (or another F#) -- then install a text based irc client (if you are doing it on the same box), then ctrl+alt F3 and login as root. kill -9 `ps ax | grep xorg` -- then aptitude remove --purge xorg* then install again (apt-cache search xorg) -- then aptitude install $whatever
[06:21] <mick_laptop> Ashfire908: too late -- i just answered your question
[06:21] <mick_laptop> :P
[06:21] <mick_laptop> mind you i'm telling you to look up the package names since i don't use ubuntu
[06:21] <Ashfire908> mick_laptop where do i get the fonts?
[06:21] <mick_laptop> you have missing fonts?
[06:22] <mick_laptop> or do you mean the microsoft core fonts?
[06:22] <DJ_Danni> mick_laptop No Luck
[06:22] <Ashfire908> mick_laptop: i get a fatal error from x saying it can'yt find fixed
[06:22] <mick_laptop> stfw for "ubuntu install microsoft fonts"
[06:22] <Ashfire908> mick_laptop: along with some other fonts
[06:23] <mick_laptop> Ashfire908: apt-cache serach fonts
[06:23] <mick_laptop> search*
[06:23] <mick_laptop> and the x11 fonts will come up
[06:23] <bullgard4> What programs will find notes which I have put in the tab 'Notes' of the 'Properties of [file] ' dialogs?
[06:23] <DJ_Danni> mick_laptop No Luck
[06:23] <mick_laptop> DJ_Danni: apt-cache search openssh comes up w/ nothing on ubuntu?
[06:23] <mick_laptop> DJ_Danni: no need to repeate yourself
[06:24] <Tasmaniac> kauer: thanks was just trying to work out if there was a switch to use or not. Case of I've only been on unix/linux for 5-6 months and was use to FreeBSD but now had to change to Ubuntu. And getting totally confused
[06:24] <mick_laptop> bullgard4: huh?
[06:24] <bullgard4> mick_laptop: huhu
[06:24] <DJ_Danni> opensshserver
[06:24] <DJ_Danni> openssh-server
[06:25] <ironmatar>  manuel get nvidia driver command is what i need anyone?  i do have the install commands
[06:25] <Ashfire908> does anyone know what package the xserver fonts are in
[06:25] <kauer> Tasmaniac: if you set LC_COLLATE to "ASCII" (i.e., export LC_COLLATE=ASCII") then the caps collate first, followed by all lowercase. [A-Z] * means "zero or more caps followed by anything", so you still get everything, just in a different order :-) To get the plus symbol you must enable extended globbing. Read the bash man page, look for "GLOB"...
[06:25] <banyunet> nTiK
[06:25] <jason0_> How can I upgrade to the latest nvidia driver. It seems the latest package available is 9631 but when I go to the nvidia website newer driver are available.
[06:26] <krammer> Why is it I can connect to aol with GAIM then the next day I can't?
[06:26] <mick_laptop> DJ_Danni: then: aptitude install openssh-server
[06:26] <DJ_Danni> mick_laptop i installes openssh-server and its wook now GRATE
[06:26] <DJ_Danni> Thang you
[06:26] <mick_laptop> then if it doesn't start -- then /etc/init.d/ssh start

[06:27] <Al00> Hi folks -- I am running Xgl now (as of a few mins ago -- via Session) and my "quit" panel in the top right corner of my screen no longer presents me with an option to shut down the PC... Any ideas from anyone?
[06:27] <mick_laptop> DJ_Danni: look up (online) how to secure ssh
[06:27] <mick_laptop> DJ_Danni: and read man sshd_config
[06:27] <printk> Al00, you need to add an xauth line to your startxgl script.  Let me paste bin to you what i've found works for me
[06:28] <Al00> thanks printk!
[06:28] <Tasmaniac> kauer ok thanks I will have to read bash man a bit better. Confusing part was I wasnt sure if it was Ubuntu itself or bash. (I'll have to check how freebsd sets up bash) also found out if I sh the ls [A-Z] * it works as expected :)
[06:28] <bullgard4> How does one restart ALSA? By doing /etc/init.d/alsa-utils?
[06:28] <Ashfire908> ugh could some one please tell me the package that has the xfonts? i have no scroll back
[06:28] <krammer> Why is it I can connect to aol with GAIM then the next day I can't?
[06:29] <printk> Al00, http://pastebin.com/m3c135946  - that's my startxgl.sh script i used
[06:29] <Olgem> I'm trying to install comix, but it depends on a newer version of pygtk than I have, and its not in the repositories, so I tried to isntall it from the debian package but it required libc6 which requires a newer version of glibc, how do I get this working better than the trial-and-error way I'm doing now?
[06:29] <printk> Al00, i should probably add this to the wiki
[06:29] <Al00> :)
[06:29] <Al00> printk: ok -- I'll give that a shot -- thanks muchly

[06:32] <Ashfire908> Found it!
[06:33] <printk> daytona89, did you edit it and set all that info?  It saves it for me
[06:33] <tonyduke> mine xchat goes well.
[06:33] <mick_laptop> echos: /j #c ;)
[06:33] <Eduardo> :):):):):):)
[06:33] <Ashfire908> fidchell: reload the lists
[06:33] <Eduardo> :-)
[06:33] <fidchell> Ashfire908: sudo aptitude update, you mean?
[06:33] <ironmatar> the actual helo i need is very easy  and the only reason im asking here is because i cant find the blasted command line get nvidia driver command in the binary instructions
[06:33] <fidchell> Because I've tried that
[06:34] <daytona89> hmm... it might be a more global problem, too... every time I start firefox it says that my last session ended abruptly, etc.... even if I shut down normally.
[06:34] <Ashfire908> fidchell: or apt-get, yes
[06:34] <Ashfire908> fidchell: hmm
[06:34] <ironmatar> i thought about a straight http dload of the driver but i dont believe that wil work

[06:39] <mick_laptop> bye
[06:39] <tlsarles> I went back to 386 for that reason
[06:39] <ironmatar> i have the 3 install coomands
[06:39] <XdorotaX> where do you put desklets for them to work?
[06:39] <printk> ironmatar - sudo aptitude search nvidia
[06:39] <ironmatar> gdm stop and gdm start and sudo sh nvidia
[06:39] <soskel> can anyone help me with a problem I am having with grub?
[06:39] <printk> ironmatar, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[06:39] <onats> tlsarles, oic... that means it would be better if i installed the 386 version? then i wouldnt be able to utilize whatever powers a 64 bit machine has....
[06:39] <tonyduke> Does the ATI drivers go well in a twin head system?
[06:40] <codecaine> can somebody help me I can't get ubuntu to connect wireless on my laptop I typed my key iwconfig ath0 key xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
[06:40] <XdorotaX> sorry, where do you put the files from an extracted desklet, to be able to use them?
[06:40] <codecaine> iwconfig ath0 essid myid
[06:40] <codecaine> dhclient ath0
[06:40] <tlsarles> There is a workaround which involves installing a 386 version of firefox with a wrapper, but its a bit complex. There are several apps that aren't ported to 64 bit yet, and makes it frusterated
[06:40] <codecaine> can't get it to work for some reason any solutions?
[06:40] <ironmatar> printk:  iv read that repetedly and i dont see the command i was given  by somon 2 days ago
[06:40] <onats> awww...
[06:40] <onats> reinstall... huhuhuh
[06:41] <daytona89> awesome. It restarted just like that. Why can't windows get a clue and be as efficient?
[06:41] <onats> debian or ubuntu?
[06:41] <tlsarles> frusterating rather.... yes, you will get less performance with the 386 version, but it is hardly noticeable. deffiantly worth the functionality in my opinion
[06:41] <printk> ironmatar, well what is the "end goal" you're trying to accomplish?  You've been given anwsers, however you insist on ignoring them.
[06:42] <tonyduke> that's because windows are made by Americans
[06:42] <dominicano> i think so
[06:42] <printk> tonyduke, most linux distros are from america :)
[06:42] <Techrev> Anyone can help with compiz?
[06:42] <tlsarles> I run ubuntu on desktop, debian on server. As far as flash goes, its a kernel issue, so it wouldn't matter what distro you used
[06:42] <tonyduke> yeah!
[06:43] <CoasterMaster> Techrev: check out #ubuntu-effects

[06:43] <printk> ironmatar, well the wiki explains how to install nvidia
[06:44] <printk> ironmatar, if you've really stayed here for 6 hours on irc asking, that's retarded.  You could have set up your driver in 5 minutes reading the on line wiki.  no offense.
[06:44] <tonyduke> American Free people give us this fabulous system.
[06:44] <dominicano> i have made importants updates today, how can i see the changes maded ?

[06:45] <daytona89> can xchat be configured to go to freenode and join #ubuntu everytime it's started? How?
[06:45] <tlsarles> yep

[06:49] <dominicano> onats: i have ubuntu feisty installed in my toshiba satellite, and i have the same problem
[06:50] <tlsarles> Same, my satellite won't sleep
[06:50] <onats> what have you guys found out?
[06:50] <tlsarles> I've always had problems with systems sleeping properly on any OS tho
[06:50] <tonyduke> that's a universal problem.
[06:50] <tlsarles> My work around has been to just shutdown
[06:50] <tlsarles> :-\
[06:50] <onats> it would really be helpful if i didnt have to shut it down always

[06:51] <dras> Is there an issue with samba sharing between VISTA and ubuntu? I can't even watch a movie because it freezes up every minute

[06:51] <printk> vista is worse than XP dras ?
[06:51] <arkive> Is it okay to install ubuntu onto a drive on one system and then plug the drive into another system, or will this likely break things?
[06:51] <printk> that's why :)
[06:51] <dras> That doesnt help me though
[06:52] <printk> arkive, should be fine as long as same hardware, such as sound, vid card and MOST importantly the controller.. otherwise you may have some tweaking to do
[06:52] <onats> arkive, i think it would break it.. the installation process detects hardware...
[06:52] <printk> dras, not much help with vista sorry.
[06:52] <arkive> I have a laptop that doesn't boot from cd, but it will boot from disk/floppy
[06:52] <arkive> I can plug the hdd into another system and copy install files over if posisble
[06:53] <arkive> I copied dos onto the drive then booted that to install windows

[06:53] <tonyduke> I did install the ubuntu system on a protable drive, and ran it on several different machines.
[06:53] <arooni> folks
[06:53] <arooni> how can i overwrite alsa
[06:53] <arooni> based on the packages
[06:53] <arkive> tonyduke: did you have any problems with that?
[06:53] <arooni> cuz i msesed up installing it from source
[06:54] <arooni> any ideas?
[06:54] <bryan986> install it again?
[06:54] <lullis> Hey everyone... I am trying to get better fonts for my system. I am using Ubuntu Feisty for AMD64. I follow the instruction on ubuntuguide.org, but apparently I am getting an 404 for the packages...
[06:54] <tonyduke> not so many.
[06:54] <tlsarles> arkive : I would guess it would be possable to install grub from a floppy and boot the cd from grub.... but... i couldn't give spesific instructions on how to do that :-\
[06:54] <arkive> tonyduke: what kind of issues did you run into?
[06:54] <arkive> tlsarles: good idea!
[06:54] <caminomaster> i was created an alias for my lan (eth0:0), but qhen I turn on my pc, it don't load, only the dhcp internet; when i restart network the alias load and then I can connect to the other local pc

[06:57] <Irreducibilis> Ubuntu has to do with sex?
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> Offtopic guys.
[06:57] <arkive> tonyduke: is that the only problem you've had so far? lol
[06:57] <ziggy> yes you use ubuntu to get to your best porn sites so you can upload your home videos to it like youporn.com see
[06:58] <tonyduke> the system is the base system
[06:58] <Irreducibilis> ziggy: I was thinking more of USB ports and plugs.... silly geek me....
[06:58] <ziggy> i know but i just wanted to spice up the night
[06:58] <tonyduke> no X windows, just some basic system files.
[06:59] <tonyduke> and my machines dont differ so much.
[07:00] <tonyduke> motherboards are the same
[07:00] <Irreducibilis> I only have 9gb of 111gb remaining, is there a way to have ubuntu use only 5gb for itself and the rest windoze?
[07:01] <tonyduke> Irre, just make a 5gb partition for ubu

[07:09] <mattg> i gotta pass out soon
[07:09] <Znortfl> Anybody with suggestions as to how to work around a problem updating from 6.10 to 7.04?
[07:09] <stickto> ok
[07:09] <Monoxide> I am using MS Virtual PC07 and I want to pull my test ubuntu install off the virtual disk and move it to my host OS so I could use the clone on a partition vs doing the work over agian
[07:10] <ziggy> how do i connect my linux computer to my friends netmeeting for Windows Xp ?????
[07:10] <ironmatar> sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`  this looks like the proper command line that serenityUK gave me but im not a programmer  and i dont automaticly get where i should put things specific to me or my comp rather  so thats why iv asked here  ,as i understand things linuix wants a bigger market share    and i like the nice clean looking install of the OS  but your not going to get that big market share w
[07:10] <mattg> gotta rise with the rooster at the lovely hour of o600...you know what the o stands for?  Oh my God it's early!
[07:10] <tonyduke> Znortfl, suggestion is reinstall
[07:10] <ziggy> how do i connect my linux computer to my friends netmeeting for Windows Xp ?????
[07:10] <stickto> mattg: Setting -> Shared Folders
[07:10] <Znortfl> tonyduke, do you mean update-manager or my whole distro?
[07:10] <Irreducibilis> Monoxide: Woot! I use MS VPC 2K7 too
[07:10] <ziggy> how do i connect my linux computer to my friends netmeeting for Windows Xp ?????
[07:10] <Flannel> ziggy: ekiga
[07:10] <arun> if i install xp on virtualbox, will the guest OS be installed in my / partition or my /home partition?
[07:10] <tonyduke> totally reinstall
[07:10] <Lindar> Hey, I need to know how to change the Xorg configuration so higher resolutions are supported. I also need to know how to extend the desktop to another monitor.
[07:10] <ziggy> do i just put down the ip
[07:10] <Monoxide> how could I clone the virtual disk Irreducibilis and move it to the host OS
[07:10] <ziggy> and it calls it out to him
[07:11] <Flannel> ziggy: I thnk so, yes.
[07:11] <ziggy> ok great i'll try
[07:11] <mattg> just the partition, i think, arun
[07:11] <Flannel> ziggy: well, you might need to do some firewall stuff too (at your router)
[07:11] <arun> mattg: that sucks.. is there no way to install the guest OS in my /home partition?
[07:11] <mattg> stickto: i know how to set the folders up, but how do you access them on the xp vm?
[07:11] <Irreducibilis> Monoxide: I do not believe that is possible, from what I have seen. Maybe file and settings transfer wizard in XP, if that is one of the OSs?
[07:11] <mattg> no idea, arun.  i just installed it, didn't worry about settings too much
[07:12] <Lindar> How do I access the Xorg configuration for adding resolutions/changing keyboard layout/etc?
[07:12] <Znortfl> tonyduke, that'll cause a lot of hassle with my files wont it? I'll have to back them all up and so forth
[07:12] <Monoxide> Irreducibilis I think it might take more then that
[07:12] <stickto> mattg: input "\\vboxsrv\the.name.of.shared.folder"
[07:12] <Monoxide> Irreducibilis is there a way to boot dos with network support to transfer the VPC C partition
[07:13] <tonyduke> that's a practical suggestion. update could bring some weird issues.
[07:13] <arun> stickto: can i install the guest os in my /home partition?
[07:13] <Irreducibilis> Monoxide: Google it. It sounds like a feature that DOS likely has
[07:13] <Monoxide> Irreducibilis google dont like me tonight
[07:13] <Monoxide> lol
[07:13] <Irreducibilis> Ah...
[07:14] <mattg> stickto: in My Computer on the XP machine?
[07:14] <Monoxide> I it gave me about 20 anwsers already and is starting to not like me
[07:14] <stickto> arun: why not?
[07:14] <stickto> mattg: yes, in the address inputbox of explorer
[07:14] <Irreducibilis> Monoxide: I would ask someone else more experianced, I mainly use VPC for Windows XP and Damn small linux only
[07:14] <Irreducibilis> Ubuntu has a strange quirk of not working on it
[07:14] <arun> stickto: how do i do it? will it ask me where to install the guest os? or does it install to a default directory
[07:15] <Monoxide> ahh well Irreducibilis thanks anyway
[07:15] <Monoxide> maybe ill sleep on it
[07:15] <Monoxide> or boot a live distro off it and see if I cannot move it like that

[07:24] <Defias> Well, I want to have full rights to read/write on that partition
[07:24] <_tux> arooni, If that doesn't work you could also go in to the terminal and type: asoundconf list it will show a list of available sound cards
[07:24] <mattg> defias, i got you
[07:24] <ziggy> all i want is to show my linux computer to another person on windows
[07:24] <bz0b> does anyone have anyidea what i should do?
[07:25] <printk> ziggy, take a screenshot?
[07:25] <_tux> then type: asoundconf set-default-card "name of soundcard" without the quotes
[07:25] <ziggy> all i want is to show my linux computer to another person on windows
[07:25] <Qod0sh> Anyone here familiar with psybnc? The server is refusing connection to my IRC client, yet when I start the psybnc server on my shell it starts up fine and then automatically logs onto the irc network. Anyone know what the problem is?
[07:25] <Defias> mattg are u havin the same problem as me?
[07:25] <bz0b> i am having an issue with the xserver-xorg-video-intel, when i attempt to install the driver it says my libc6 is old and my xserver-xorg-core is old
[07:25] <arun> mattg: it is \\vboxsvr not \\vboxsrv
[07:26] <mattg> nvm, defias.  i was gonna say "sudo nautilus" and change the partition owner and capabilities.  that's what i had to do.  also had to move all my stuff off of the ntfs partition to my desktop, format the ntfs as ext3, mount, and put all of my stuff back on.  didnt have much, but that fixed it
[07:26] <mdk3> hey all, glad to be a part of the community.
[07:26] <Defias> and u had full rights then, mattg?
[07:26] <mattg> yup
[07:27] <Defias> ah okay, well thank you guys, I just hope I won't damage anything.... ^^
[07:27] <arun> mattg: so the folder is working now? it's \\vboxsvr btw
[07:27] <_tux> arooni, You could also type: speaker-test inside a terminal to test the speakers
[07:27] <mattg> and if you keep the same username when you reinstall (if ever) then it will automount and keep permissions.  i am happy with it, defias
[07:27] <stickto> mattg: sorry
[07:27] <mattg> gaah, stickto, still not it
[07:27] <stickto> mattg: it should be \\vboxsvr
[07:27] <arun> as i mentioned twice :D
[07:27] <stickto> mattg: my mistake
[07:28] <mattg> i tried em, not working
[07:28] <mdk3> QUESTION: in terminal i execute 'ndiswrapper - i driver.inf' ... i get the error > 'couldn't create /etc/ndiswrapper: Permission denied at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 184'... how do i fix this problem and install my wireless card drivers? PM WITH ANSWER, THANK YOU.
[07:28] <computer> anyone know a user friendly way of tracking down japanese fonts
[07:28] <mattg> how does the network have to be setup with the vbox?
[07:29] <arun> stickto: oh yeah, what about networking? does vbox support NAT?
[07:29] <stickto> arun: yes
[07:29] <mattg> im tryin different settings, stickto
[07:29] <shk> can anyone tell me how to make firefox fonts the same as they were under windows?
[07:29] <stickto> mattg: ok
[07:29] <_tux> mdk3, Try it with sudo. sudo ndiswrapper -i driver.inf to see what happens
[07:30] <arun> stickto: also, does virtualbox install the additional components automatically?
[07:30] <stickto> mattg: make sure you have set the shared folder in Setting
[07:30] <arun> or do they have to be installed separately
[07:30] <stickto> arun: no additional components
[07:31] <arun> stickto: i dont need to install any additional components?
[07:31] <stickto> arun: yes
[07:31] <mattg> stickto: should it be nat, or host interface?
[07:32] <stickto> mattg: the default is nat
[07:32] <Parisi> Hmm
[07:33] <arun> stickto: what is this virtual hard disk business
[07:33] <stickto> arun: like your real physical hard disk
[07:34] <Parisi> Man, ubuntu servers slow or what.
[07:34] <stickto> but it's a file residing in your file system
[07:34] <bullgard4> What programs will find notes which I have put in the tab 'Notes' of the 'Properties of [file] ' dialogs?
[07:35] <lwizardl> Hi
[07:36] <gaurav_> is there a avi to mp4  convertor for linux?
[07:36] <ivan`> mencoder
[07:37] <lwizardl> is there a tool or application that will let me create & format a drive as HFS+ on linux?
[07:37] <ivan`> no
[07:37] <ivan`> well, google
[07:37] <mdk3> QUESTION: in terminal i execute 'sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf'.. output is 'driver bcmwl5 is already installed'... i then run 'ndiswrapper -l'... output shows 'bcmwl5 : invalid driver!'... how do i fix this problem and install my wireless card drivers?... PM WITH ANSWER, THANK YOU.
[07:38] <lwizardl> ivan`, I've already installed the HFSpp tools and that just gives read access
[07:38] <Flannel> mdk3: what it means is that the driver you have installed now (which is installed, by the way) is the wrong one for your card
[07:38] <arun> stickto: where do i specify where to create the virtual disk? i want to store it in the /home partition
[07:39] <bbengs> what kernel comes with ubuntu 7.04 feisty fawn?
[07:39] <gaurav_> avi to mp4 converter for Linux?
[07:39] <tlsarles> 2.6.20-16
[07:40] <tlsarles> can't wait for 2.6.23
[07:40] <bbengs> thanks tlsarles
[07:40] <tlsarles> np
[07:40] <Flannel> bbengs: 2.6.20, gutsy has .22
[07:40] <bbengs> now what command can i use to confirm what kernel version i have?
[07:40] <tlsarles> uname -r
[07:40] <_tux> uname -a
[07:41] <bbengs> all, thanks
[07:41] <tlsarles> oh my, i like the -a better. never knew that one
[07:41] <tlsarles> lol
[07:41] <mdk3> QUESTION: in terminal i execute 'sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf'.. output is 'driver bcmwl5 is already installed'... i then run 'ndiswrapper -l'... output shows 'bcmwl5 : invalid driver!'... how do i fix this problem and install my wireless card drivers?... PM WITH ANSWER, THANK YOU.
[07:41] <Flannel> mdk3: what it means is that the driver you have installed now (which is installed, by the way) is the wrong one for your card
[07:41] <_tux> lol more information on that command :-)
[07:41] <tlsarles> indeed
[07:42] <_tux> bbengs, you can also type: man uname for more info about the uname command
[07:42] <stickto> arun: thereis a dialog named "Virtual Disk Location and Size"
[07:42] <mdk3> Flannel check PM
[07:42] <BinaryMutant> what package contains terminfo?
[07:42] <BinaryMutant> !terminfo
[07:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about terminfo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:42] <arun> stickto: is that for existing virtual disks or for new ones as well
[07:42] <tlsarles> gpg --import automatix2.key
[07:43] <Flannel> tlsarles: Don't use automatix
[07:43] <tlsarles> gpg --export --armor E23C5FC3 | sudo apt-key add -
[07:43] <tlsarles> Just for codecs?
[07:43] <Flannel> tlsarles: no.  Besides, feisty does codecs
[07:43] <tlsarles> oups. lol
[07:43] <tlsarles> omg, that was retarded
[07:43] <tlsarles> how so?
[07:43] <_tux> I've used Medibuntu for wmv codecs
[07:43] <tlsarles> hmmm
[07:43] <tlsarles> i'll check it out
[07:44] <tlsarles> I've heard automatix F's things up, but i do only use it for codecs
[07:44] <Flannel> tlsarles: it still breaks things
[07:44] <stickto> arun: NEW
[07:44] <Flannel> mdk3: Talk here, besides, queries are blocked from unidentified nicks on freenode.
[07:44] <tlsarles> hmm
[07:44] <arun> stickto: thanks :) sorry, i'm troubling you a lot
[07:44] <thedash> hey, is it possible to set up Feisty so it doesn't need a login, it just does it automatically ?
[07:45] <tlsarles> k..... mediabuntu....
[07:45] <stickto> arun: never mind:)
[07:45] <Flannel> thedash: login screen setup
[07:45] <stickto> arun: I gotta go, see you
[07:45] <arun> alright, thanks!
[07:46] <_tux> thedash, Yes you can but could pose a security risk at that if your system is compromised
[07:47] <tlsarles> Ok.... I'm looking at the mediabuntu... but i don't really want to apt-get all these packages manually. is there an install all type of script?
[07:48] <_tux> tlsarles, you could get it through the Repository
[07:48] <_tux> http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repository.php
[07:48] <Flannel> tlsarles: Which packages are you looking for?
[07:48] <mdk3> Flannel: I just double checked.. the bcmwl5.inf is what i want for the dell inspiron 5150 model... i still have the same problem
[07:49] <BinaryMutant> i'm getting an error *** VTE ***: Failed to load terminal capabilities from '/etc/termcap' everytime i try to load gnome-terminal
[07:49] <tlsarles> mmmm all of em
[07:49] <tlsarles> i just want to never run across a video i can't play
[07:49] <chalzedony> greetings
[07:49] <tlsarles> so i want a mass install of codecs
[07:50] <tlsarles> I'm looking at the repo... but it appears i will have to apt-get each package manually
[07:50] <_tux> tlsarles, I know how that is but seems you'll have to type a bunch of commands either separately or together to get all of the codecs
[07:50] <tlsarles> Yeah...
[07:50] <tlsarles> oh well
[07:50] <_tux> at least you have the choice of getting what you want
[07:50] <bullgard4> tlsarles: What kernel will be in ubuntu 7.10?
[07:50] <tlsarles> true story
[07:50] <_tux> lol
[07:50] <tlsarles> someone said 2.6.22?
[07:51] <princes> HAI
[07:51] <tlsarles> idk for sure
[07:51] <shk> is it possible to use emerald alongside the murrine engine? and what is the difference between the two?
[07:52] <tlsarles> Is anyone else not able to update the universe source repo?  http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/universe/source/Sources.gz

[07:53] <byonix> hi, i tried to install php 5, i got error message, check this out please, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35209/
[07:53] <_tux> byonix, Lemme get ya a link real quick
[07:54] <jmdc> routing breaks when I turn off dhcp, even though /etc/resolv.conf hasn't changed. Why would that be?
[07:54] <doug_> _tux u know anything about ssh ? or how to use it?
[07:54] <tlsarles> routing and dns are seperate issues
[07:55] <tlsarles> so is dhcp
[07:55] <byonix> _tux , ok
[07:55] <_tux> doug_, Make sure its enabled and usually it would be something like: ssh "ip address" without the quotes
[07:55] <tlsarles> sudo apt-get install ssh
[07:55] <_tux> try ssh localhost to check it
[07:55] <jmdc> tlsarles: thanks. That's a good point.
[07:55] <_tux> byonix, is Apache installed?
[07:55] <mdk3> QUESTION: in terminal i execute 'sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf'.. output is 'driver bcmwl5 is already installed'... i then run 'ndiswrapper -l'... output shows 'bcmwl5 : invalid driver!'... how do i fix this problem and install my wireless card drivers?... PM WITH ANSWER, THANK YOU.
[07:55] <mdk3> Flannel: I just double checked.. the bcmwl5.inf is what i want for the dell inspiron 5150 model... i still have the same problem
[07:56] <tlsarles> then ssh user@host.com
[07:56] <byonix> _tux, worked fine
[07:56] <therealnanotube> available: server or client?
[07:56] <zeeble> isnt ssh client installed by default?
[07:56] <tlsarles> nope
[07:56] <_tux> nope zeeble
[07:56] <zeeble> oh ok
[07:56] <tlsarles> should be in my opinion
[07:56] <available> therealnanotube,  server i had a friend hook me up on his server
[07:56] <_tux> byonix, exactly what worked fine? hmmm
[07:56] <ruminator> Yes, ssh is important enough to be included in default install
[07:57] <nathan__> can anyone help me with configuring my network? the details of it are here: http://rafb.net/p/TnLqjE27.nln.html
[07:57] <byonix> http://localhost, then Apache2-default, then IT WORKS!:)
[07:57] <densone> hello all quick question. I installed snmpd on my ubuntu boxes, and the init.d script binds localhost on startup, but I need it to bin the ip of the box. Anyone know how to change this init script?
[07:57] <_tux> byonix, The command seems to be right but it says it needs dependencies
[07:58] <byonix> _tux, yes broken dependencies of something
[07:58] <BinaryMutant> i'm getting an error *** VTE ***: Failed to load terminal capabilities from '/etc/termcap' everytime i try to load gnome-terminal, does anyone know how to fix this?
[07:58] <_tux> byonix, But you're trying to install PHP I was just implying if Apache was installed
[07:59] <densone> I would like the startup to look like this: sudo /usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid 192.168.4.2
[07:59] <_tux> byonix, try typing this: sudo apt-get install php5-common
[07:59] <byonix> _tux, apache was installed, and works like the how to's, but the php wont
[08:00] <_tux> byonix, that's cause PHP isn't installed
[08:00] <_tux> the package you tried installing is broken what it means is either it needs dependencies which are basically extra files for it to be installed
[08:00] <available> _tux, u use ssh at all _tux
[08:00] <byonix> _tux , the result is php5-common is already the newest version.
[08:00] <byonix> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 18 not upgraded.
[08:01] <_tux> available, nope don't need to but I got it installed
[08:01] <bullgard4> What programs will find notes which I have put in the tab 'Notes' of the 'Properties of [file] ' dialogs?
[08:01] <Defias> I guess the best video player would be VLC and music player: Amarok?
[08:01] <_tux> byonix, sudo apt-get upgrade should upgrade those 18 packages
[08:01] <available> _tux,  same here and a friend set me an account on his server tld me to play with it i have but i cant do anything with it
[08:01] <tlsarles> Defias : in my opinion, yes
[08:02] <Defias> thanks
[08:02] <arooni> folks... is there anyway i can get a three day forecast on my taskbar?
[08:02] <byonix> _tux, thank you, i have remove the conflict one, and try installing it again, i think it works, thanks
[08:03] <bullgard4> 'echo -ne \007' does not function in my computer. How to repair this?
[08:03] <densone> nevermind found the place I was looking
[08:03] <_tux> available, sounds like fun but when using ssh it still uses the CLI but I think a program called screen can like use a GUI or something I forgot but that's what its called
[08:03] <_tux> byonix, Welcome
[08:03] <available> _tux,  thnks illlook into it
[08:03] <cableroy> hi, i just came to work and my computer had rebooted, i'm trying to login via gdm, when it should start to load gnome the screen flickers and it seems like gdm is restarting and gives me the login screen again. I did not see anything in the logs, i ran fc-cache -fv and now it acts diffrent, it does not go back to login prompt
[08:04] <atnan> Howdy folks. I'm trying to build a deb using dpkg-buildpackage, however the resulting .deb file doesn't contain the compiled shared objects in debian/tmp/usr/local/lib. Are there any decent guides out there that can help me?
[08:04] <_tux> available, http://www.bangmoney.org/presentations/screen.html
[08:04] <rockets> cableroy, check your home directory's permissions
[08:04] <atnan> I've specified "usr/local/lib" in "debian/dirs".
[08:04] <available> thnks _tux
[08:04] <rockets> cabldevil, sudo chown -R username:username ~username/
[08:04] <_tux> gotta get me a laptop and probably a test server to mess with ssh
[08:05] <rockets> cabldevil, replace username with . . . your username
[08:05] <rockets> Irreducibilis, #dsl
[08:05] <tlsarles> cableroy: mine does that when there is a driver problem. in my case with the nvidia and nv drivers conflicting
[08:05] <Irreducibilis> merci
[08:05] <arooni> where is the eclipse library directory?  (if i installed it via sudo apt-get eclipse)?
[08:05] <decay> freaking roommate keeps putting on baby powder. making me sick
[08:06] <cableroy> rockets: .Xauthority was owed by root, i chown'ed right now it goes back yo gdm
[08:06] <rockets> cableroy, so you login, and then it just logs out instantly?
[08:06] <suupaabaka> I'm trying to watch a video over my network (via Samba) and it keeps opening Totem. How do I make mplayer my system default without uninstalling totem?
[08:06] <cableroy> tlsarles: i use ati, and its stange since it worked before i left work hehe
[08:06] <tlsarles> :-\
[08:07] <rockets> cableroy, like I sad chown -R username:username /home/username
[08:07] <tlsarles> *shrugs*
[08:07] <musya> anybody know a rar unchiver
[08:07] <musya> ?
[08:07] <nathan__> can anyone help me with configuring my network? the details of it are here: http://rafb.net/p/TnLqjE27.nln.html
[08:07] <_tux> xterm mmmm
[08:07] <rockets> musya, sudo apt-get install unrar
[08:07] <rockets> musya, NOT unrar-free
[08:07] <musya> why not?
[08:07] <rockets> musya, because it can only open old rar files
[08:07] <musya> oh,ok
[08:07] <musya> thanks man
[08:08] <rockets> np
[08:08] <rockets> musya, youll be able to open them through the gui as well
[08:08] <cableroy> rockets: ok did that, still the same
[08:08] <_tux> nathan, That's a lot of writing
[08:08] <Irreducibilis> Is there an easy way to shrink a Windows XP partition to make room for a duel boot w?
[08:08] <rockets> cableroy, no error messages?
[08:08] <faileas> Irreducibilis: yes. gparted off the livecd
[08:08] <byonix> another question, i have downloaded a patch for vmware server, is that all i need for installing vmware server in default ubuntu kernel?
[08:08] <rockets> cableroy, what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say
[08:09] <WeeWillyWacko> I am new to Ubuntu. but not linux. I just  installed 7.04 on a nvida-based mb. everything *was* working until I turned on desktop effects. Now the system does a power-down about the time the vid driver kicks in. [recovery]  mode does the same.  Is there a boot option to force vesa?
[08:09] <_tux> byonix, I haven't a clue on that never used vmware before
[08:10] <byonix> anyone, is vmware patch the only thing i need if i want to install vmware server in default ubuntu kernel?
[08:10] <_tux> nathan, Your best bet is probably to learn SSH = Secure Shell
[08:10] <Parisi_> WeeWillyWacko Now thats wack!
[08:10] <WeeWillyWacko> lol
[08:10] <rockets> WeeWillyWacko, try vga=771
[08:11] <WeeWillyWacko> thx. will do
[08:11] <rockets> WeeWillyWacko, also, boot off a live cd and mount your hd, and change the driver in xorg to vesa
[08:11] <rockets> WeeWillyWacko, xorg.conf that is
[08:11] <vlt> Hello. What is the safest way to unmount an NFS share when the server has gone?
[08:11] <Parisi_> WeeWillyWacko Try running apt-get remove app here as well.
[08:12] <Parisi_> app as in whatever package Desktop Effects install by default.
[08:12] <cableroy> rockets: i went thru the xorg.log again and did not see any thing that could reflect to that error
[08:12] <Parisi_> Doent Desktop effects install official nvidia drivers automatically?
[08:13] <Parisi_> That would narrow down the issue?
[08:13] <tlsarles> ...don't think so....
[08:13] <Parisi_> I see.
[08:13] <brownie17> guys, for some reason when i try to log into ubuntu it freezes at 'running user startup scripts /etc/rc.local' or something.
[08:13] <BinaryMutant> I don't have a terminfo file for gnome, does anyone know how I can find it?
[08:13] <cableroy> i could have understood if i had done some things, but i have been gone 3 weeks on hollyday and nobody has touched my computer
[08:14] <_tux> BinaryMutant, type: whereis terminfo inside a terminal
[08:14] <rockets> cableroy, go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the video driver from nv or ati or whatever it is, to vesa
[08:14] <rockets> cableroy, then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:14] <cableroy> rockets: k
[08:14] <Parisi_> I have one thing to say, Vista flies on 3 gigs for RAM.
[08:15] <_tux> that's why I like the Linux kernel nothing but a bunch of commands throughout the terminal
[08:15] <Parisi_> for = of
[08:15] <rockets> Parisi_, but its silly for an OS to require that much ram
[08:15] <BinaryMutant> _tux: I have some terminfo files, just not one for gnome-terminal
[08:15] <brownie17> guys, for some reason when i try to log into ubuntu it freezes at 'running user startup scripts /etc/rc.local' or something. however, when i read the file at /etc/rc.local it appears that there have been no changes made to it, and it does nothing.
[08:15] <Parisi_> rocketsm, I think not, Ubuntu runs just as good :)
[08:16] <Irreducibilis> I ran Vista on 512mb
[08:16] <rockets> Parisi_, right and it runs fine on 1gb too
[08:16] <Irreducibilis> in MS virtual PC
[08:16] <Parisi_> rocketsm, But Vista caches everything so it does seems snappier.
[08:16] <Irreducibilis> It took 2 minutes to boot but....
[08:16] <rockets> Irreducibilis, just because it runs doesnt mean you should run it that way ,. . .
[08:16] <lindar> How do I get the header files?
[08:16] <aman> bulmer
[08:16] <aman> ?
[08:16] <rockets> lindar, kernel headers?
[08:16] <_tux> Binary, I don't know of any terminfo files for gnome-terminal to be honest I don't know what a terminfo is
[08:16] <decay> brownie17, whats in your rc.local?
[08:17] <lindar> rockets: yes
[08:17] <Parisi_> rockets, From 1 gig to 3 gigs it made nice difference. (under Vista)
[08:17] <aman> bulmer
[08:17] <aman> bulmer r u there?
[08:17] <GarryFre> brownie17,  try unplugging any usb and otehr peripherals and retry.
[08:17] <brownie17> decay, this is the only uncommented line, the rest is help 'exit 0'
[08:17] <rockets> lindar, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
[08:17] <rockets> Parisi_, im not arguing that it didnt
[08:17] <brownie17> GarryFre, tried that already. took out everything but monitor and keyboard and was still unsuccessful.
[08:17] <Parisi_> Irreducibilis You must be a masochist
[08:18] <decay> brownie17, seems normal. i don't know =[
[08:18] <lindar> thank you
[08:18] <rockets> I'm the only masochist here. I spent 10 hours getting ubuntu running on Nforce 4 "fakeraid"
[08:18] <rockets> for my pal
[08:18] <Irreducibilis> Parisi_: I have also run XP under 56mb of ram :P
[08:18] <rockets> Irreducibilis, why . . .
[08:18] <Irreducibilis> To prove I can
[08:18] <aman> can anybody plz solve my problem,i need to setup an internet connection in ubuntu 7.04
[08:18] <Parisi_> : ) , running XP on a PIII Laptop with 256 RAM was painful enough for me.
[08:18] <brownie17> decay, can you help me decipher what the problem actually is then? first time i've had a problem with it really, and i don't think i changed anything exept i isntalled resolvconf since i last started it up
[08:19] <DARKGuy> IntuitiveNipple: Hey, you there?
[08:19] <rockets> aman, whats the trouble?
[08:19] <GarryFre> I once walked NT under 128 mb ram
[08:19] <_tux> Binary, tried typing: man terminfo could give you infomation on that particular command
[08:19] <cableroy> rockets: changed the driver from radeon to vesa and got this: Requested Entity already in use!
[08:19] <rockets> Parisi_, that should run it fine if you strip it down
[08:19] <GamingX> Hello guys, I have  a rewritable CD but I am not able to erase the CD in ubuntu...Can someone help?
[08:19] <rockets> cableroy, no idea what that means
[08:19] <nathan__> can anyone help me with configuring my network? the details of it are here: http://rafb.net/p/TnLqjE27.nln.html
[08:19] <DARKGuy> I once ran XP on a 100Mhz, 48Mb RAM 1Gb HD :)
[08:19] <DARKGuy> so Ha.
[08:19] <decay> brownie17, i can try, but im kind of a noobie myself.
[08:19] <Irreducibilis> I once ran Windows 95 with 4mb of ram on a 66Mhz pentium
[08:19] <aman> rockets i m having a direct wired connection
[08:19] <rockets> aman, direct wired to what? a router? a switch/
[08:19] <aman> rockets no router involved
[08:19] <vega-> is it possible to upgrade from dapper to feisty? if so, what's the recommended way?
[08:19] <rockets> I once ran your mom. All night long.
[08:20] <rockets> aman, direct to what then
[08:20] <brownie17> decay,  okay well do you have any idea how i would find a sort of log or something that may help me?
[08:20] <DARKGuy> lmao
[08:20] <DARKGuy> Irreducibilis, I ran 3.1 on a 386 :P
[08:20] <Parisi_> rockets, ya but it didnt, by the time you slap a couple of essential apps including a AV you are back to being slugish.
[08:20] <aman> rockets direct wire into lan card
[08:20] <rockets> aman, yes but from where
[08:20] <Irreducibilis> DARKGuy: I ran a ZX spectrum 128k on my Ti graphing calculator
[08:20] <aman> rockets i can ping gateway but not anything else
[08:20] <DARKGuy> Irreducibilis, ok, you own me xD
[08:20] <decay> brownie17, im not sure where the log file is located, but i know there is one. someone here ought to know
[08:20] <Parisi_> Ok, enough :)
[08:20] <rockets> aman, ah i can help that easily
[08:21] <rockets> aman, sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
[08:21] <Parisi_> OSX > ALL
[08:21] <brownie17> can anyone tell me where a boot log wouold be stored?
[08:21] <byonix> how to detect modem in my ubuntu system?
[08:21] <rockets> aman, put in nameserver 4.2.2.1
[08:21] <rtan> hello
[08:21] <rockets> aman, save it, and quit
[08:21] <decay> brownie17, system -> administrator - > system log
[08:21] <Defias> so uh... with what is photoshop being replaced on linux?
[08:21] <rtan> how to setup dialup for ubuntu
[08:21] <brownie17> decay, can't get to that, gnome hasn't loaded
[08:21] <DARKGuy> Defias, gimp
[08:21] <Irreducibilis> rtan: Thats waht I want to know...
[08:21] <P0ldy> Defias: or krita
[08:21] <DARKGuy> Defias, but I've ran PS CS on WINE o.o
[08:21] <octoberdan> Defias: GIMP :-)
[08:21] <brownie17> can anyone tell me how to get to system log without gnome?
[08:21] <GamingX> what application must I use to erase and rewrite data to  a rewritable CD?
[08:22] <decay> brownie17, /var/log
[08:22] <P0ldy> brownie17: cd /var/log/
[08:22] <ziggy> i love linux but i wish i could control it more i feel like such a newb will it ever change ???
[08:22] <octoberdan> ziggy: Of course
[08:22] <rtan> i got  a friend to have ubuntu 6.06 but no dsl
[08:22] <P0ldy> ziggy: what can't you control?  you learn more over time
[08:22] <rockets> ziggy, NEVER MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
[08:22] <Defias> orly? how was it running it on wine... worked fine?
[08:22] <DARKGuy> lol
[08:22] <rockets> ziggy, kidding, what do you want to change
[08:22] <_tux> byonix, system >> administration >> network >> from there you should be able to configure your network
[08:22] <Irreducibilis> ziggy: Windoze
[08:22] <rockets> ziggy, perhaps we can help?
[08:22] <Parisi_> Back in in 2000 i would have been banned for saying things like that, times sure have changed.
[08:22] <ziggy> i wish i could install things that are on windows
[08:23] <Irreducibilis> ziggy: Duel-boot?
[08:23] <GarryFre> boot log in /var/log/dmesg
[08:23] <P0ldy> Defias: older versions I hear work fine, like ps7.
[08:23] <ziggy> true
[08:23] <decay> brownie17, in there you have syslog, daemonlog, aut.log, xxorg.0.log
[08:23] <rockets> ziggy, use vmware or wine
[08:23] <brownie17> P0ldy, went there, which log is relevant for the logging in process
[08:23] <aman> rockets what i have to put in nameserver 4.2.2.1
[08:23] <rockets> ziggy, linux runs linux apps, not windows apps
[08:23] <_tux> ziggy, it will change if you learn more about it :-)
[08:23] <aman> ?
[08:23] <ziggy> what vmware or wine
[08:23] <rockets> aman, no, put the line nameserver 4.2.2.1 in /etc/resolv.conf
[08:23] <rockets> thats all
[08:23] <rockets> nameserver 4.2.2.1
[08:23] <DARKGuy> Defias, It took about 1 minute or so to load in my 3Ghz 512Mb RAM Fiesty 64-bit... so it could have a long load time, dunno. You need some fonts and click some error OKs that appear during startup. It ran fine and it crashed on me once... so gotta save a lot, but everything else works nice. It installs and all too.
[08:23] <Parisi_> ziggy, If anything you have more control than EVER under *nix, you should know that.
[08:23] <aman> ok
[08:24] <GarryFre> brownie17 /var/log/dmesg where dmsg is a text file.
[08:24] <DARKGuy> Defias, with latest WINE though, but then again your machine and configurations may vary
[08:24] <Parisi_> ziggy, what windows apps are you talking about?
[08:24] <octoberdan> I know this is a bit off topic, but there's a social network for ubuntu users coming out. If you're interested, check it out: http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_Users_Social_Network_BETA
[08:24] <aman> rockets even in windows i m not able to ping
[08:24] <rockets> ziggy, vmware lets you create virtual machines to run other operating systems (like windows) in. wine lets you run some windows apps on linux
[08:24] <ziggy> yeah i just wish i could install like photoshop cs3 or Vb6.net
[08:24] <Defias> oh boy... im really not sure if its really worth it switching to ubuntu... i am kinda of hardcore gamer as for photoshop and so on, things i need everyday
[08:25] <rockets> aman, oh. then you have a bigger network issue, not ubuntu issue
[08:25] <aman> rockets but connection is working fine in windows
[08:25] <_tux> Defias, you could always create a dual-boot
[08:25] <rockets> aman, oh ok
[08:25] <rockets> so
[08:25] <octoberdan> Defias: You could always duel boot, get the best of both worlds
[08:25] <_tux> lol dan
[08:25] <DARKGuy> Defias, uhhh... it depends on what games you play, but for gaming dual-boot is the best option
[08:25] <octoberdan> *dual
[08:25] <rockets> aman, put the 4.2.2.1 in and then try to load a website
[08:25] <Parisi_> Defias, Hardcore gamer? Stick with windows for that, trust me on this one.
[08:25] <DARKGuy> unless all you do is play WoW xD
[08:25] <Defias> something i couldnt really live with ^
[08:25] <printk> Defias, then nope ubuntu is not for you.
[08:25] <printk> Defias, use what OS suites you.  Windows sounds better for you
[08:25] <decay> brownie17, /etc/default/bootlogd, change 'no' to 'yes'. restart and look at it
[08:25] <ziggy> alrighty thanks people for your help
[08:26] <Parisi_> Anytime!
[08:26] <GarryFre> Wine .9.44 seems to have some bugs, people not getting sound, low frame rates and hangs on exit.
[08:26] <rockets> Defias, you definitely should not use ubuntu.
[08:26] <Defias> It may, but ubuntu is running so damn smooth
[08:26] <decay> brownie17, after you change it to yes, the boot log will be in /var/log/boot
[08:26] <Parisi> Defias, Use Ubuntu for everything else, who said you have to only use 1 thing.
[08:26] <rockets> Defias, dual boot?
[08:26] <aman> rockets i m running windows right now do i have to put in 4.2.2.1 in windows somewhere or linux
[08:26] <DARKGuy> Defias, yep, windows is the best one for gaming (sadly). Ubuntu can run WoW, NFS series, Quake 4, Doom 3, Driver, CS 1.6 and Steam... but don't try to use new new new games, they won't work, or might but with bugs and/or crash
[08:26] <_tux> I switched from using Windows to Ubuntu but still carry a dual-boot of XP
[08:27] <Parisi> I triple boot between XP, Vista and Ubuntu. About to add a fourth OSX to Grub.
[08:27] <Defias> wow quake 1.6 & steam is actually all i need for gaming.. ^
[08:27] <brownie17> decay, okay restarting now brb
[08:27] <DARKGuy> XD
[08:27] <rockets> aman, linux.
[08:27] <rockets> aman, you cant fix linux from windows . ..
[08:27] <ziggy> wow parisi
[08:27] <ziggy> how big is your hard drive
[08:27] <jmd1> I changed a host to use a static ip and now have some problems. It responds to ping and can ping other hosts on the network. I can ssh to it (again from the internal network), though login takes several extra seconds. However, I cannot ping anything out on the internet, or get to the web, etc. What should I do to figure out where the problem is?
[08:27] <aman> rockets u mean need not to reboot system
[08:27] <octoberdan> Defias: You can get all the quakes native for windows, I believe
[08:28] <Parisi> I could throw FreeBSD on there too, but i save that for the older p4 box.
[08:28] <DARKGuy> Defias, I know WoW and Q4 and CS 1.6 work, I use them and all... gotta have a decent video card though (which I assume you have being a hardcore gamer ;) )... dunno about Steam but lots of people say it works
[08:28] <_tux> Parisi, I don't think I need all that lol but BSD sounds like a good choice
[08:28] <printk> jmd1, probably not resolving.  Need to add your namserver in /etc/resolv.conf
[08:28] <ziggy> Parisi how big is your hard drive? ??
[08:28] <Newbtastic> Hey, so I have a slightly weird question. I have several computers on a campus network that uses a WINS server for name resolution. I can ping my linux boxes by name from windows machines, and my windows machines from my linux ones, but I can't ping one linux box from the other one by name (I have to go by IP address). Can anyone help me figure out why this is? What do I need to do to make NetBIOS names resolve correctly on Linux?
[08:28] <rockets> aman, you need to STAY in linux to fix linux buddy
[08:28] <jmd1> printk: I already checked that
[08:28] <Parisi> ziggy, I have 2 HD's on this box, 1x 250 SATA and 1x120 IDE
[08:28] <jmd1> printk: thanks though
[08:28] <printk> jmd1, can you ping 4.2.2.2 ?
[08:28] <h1st0> Wow ktorrent rocks for anyond sick of gnome bitorrent
[08:28] <rockets> printk, good ol' verizon dns
[08:28] <printk> jmd1, or any other "outside" public IP?
[08:28] <DARKGuy> octoberdan, Defias: yes you can get the binaries for Quake 4 (64-bit optimized too!) and Doom 3... UT2004 and other games too
[08:28] <ziggy> ok nice size
[08:28] <aman> rockets ok i m rebooting my system now.
[08:29] <Irreducibilis> DARKGuy: I once made a map for UT2004...... it kind of sucked.
[08:29] <_tux> h1st0, you can use Deluge its a bittorrent and is similiar to that of utorrent
[08:29] <Newbtastic> jmd1, what kind of router/switch are you using?
[08:29] <ziggy> i love the SATA too it runs much nicer then the IDE
[08:29] <GamingX> What is the default CD writing software in ubuntu?
[08:29] <Parisi> ziggy, Storage is too cheap these days.
[08:29] <ziggy> i see the inprovement
[08:29] <DARKGuy> Irreducibilis, xD first maps use to be that way =( I couldn't even learn to use the editor, so I admire you =P
[08:29] <rockets> GamingX, nautilus, in other words the file browser has it built in
[08:29] <Defias> octberdan DARKGuy and all others thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately, I will be switching to Windows... I will miss Ubuntu though... it's really hot... oh boy... 2hours installation is waiting
[08:29] <rockets> GamingX, install k3b, its by far the best
[08:30] <Parisi> SATA came on this pre built system, cant complain, its my first SATA mobo.
[08:30] <ziggy> true that what is it these days a dollor a gig i think yep
[08:30] <DARKGuy> Defias, heh :( good luck xD
[08:30] <_tux> GamingX, you can install gnomebaker from within Ubuntu its not the default but hey it works
[08:30] <brownie17> decay back
[08:30] <decay> brownie17, how did it go?
[08:30] <rockets> gnomebaker is a joke compared to k3b
[08:30] <GamingX> rockets: Does Nautilus support erasing rewritable cds?
[08:31] <decay> whats gnomebreaker and k3b?
[08:31] <_tux> rockets, it works just fine for me :-)
[08:31] <ziggy> so i herd that its pertie easy to run a webserver off of linux but its not suggested to do it off your own box am i correct ?
[08:31] <brownie17> decay, gedit /var/log/boot 'nothing has been logged
[08:31] <Parisi> ziggy, more like $.50 or less.
[08:31] <jmd1> printk: nope, I can't ping anything "outside"
[08:31] <DARKGuy> decay, cd/dvd burners
[08:31] <rockets> _tux doesnt support as many cd image formats
[08:31] <tlsarles> Gnomebaker works fine for me
[08:31] <decay> DARKGuy, okay thanks
[08:31] <rockets> GamingX, not sure. I never do that.
[08:31] <_tux> rockets, all I need it to support is ISO does the job
[08:31] <decay> brownie17, you changed it to 'yes' right?
[08:31] <DARKGuy> decay, welcome
[08:31] <ziggy> wow 50Cents wow
[08:31] <printk> jmd1, did you add your gateway or your default route?  does "netstat -rn" show it?
[08:31] <rockets> _tux, eh, to each his own right
[08:31] <GamingX> rockets: How do you open Nautilus?
[08:31] <brownie17> decay
[08:31] <_tux> indeed but still goes around with personal preference
[08:31] <rockets> GamingX, what do you want to do? erase a cd?
[08:31] <brownie17> decay, yes
[08:32] <ziggy> whats that off of newegg some ware house site i'm guessing
[08:32] <GamingX> rockets:Yes...
[08:32] <Parisi> ziggy, Well, i have seen 120 GIG HD for $50
[08:32] <rockets> GamingX, just pop the cd in, and then right click on the icon when it appears. if theres no option to erase then you cant do it via nautilus
[08:32] <devinbhullar> anyone know how to set this
[08:32] <devinbhullar>    <datastore_path description="The absolute path to the parent directory, where all HoneyClient VM data is stored on the host server.  It is assumed that individual VM data is stored in separate subdirectories within this parent directory." default="/vm">                 /vm/clones
[08:32] <brownie17> decay, i put Yes because ti was already 'No'., should i try 'yes' rather than 'Yes'?
[08:32] <rockets> !paste | devinbhullar
[08:32] <ubotu> devinbhullar: 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)
[08:32] <_tux> I personally use gnome for a GUI and I like fluxbox much more though for its minimal
[08:32] <jmd1> printk: yes, I did. The output of `netstat -rn` is identical on machine I'm typing from (a host on the same network, but using dhcp)
[08:32] <ziggy> so are you a AMD Person or A Intel Parisi ?
[08:32] <Newbtastic> GamingX, Nautilus is the default file manager. Just go to places and click on anything and the program that comes up is Nautilus.
[08:33] <decay> brownie17, yes
[08:33] <GamingX> rockets: Nope... I dont see any erase option, any alternatives beside k3b. I have gnome desktop and k3b is for KDE.....
[08:33] <printk> jmd1, and can you ping the gateway?
[08:33] <decay> brownie17, worth a shot
[08:33] <rockets> Newbtastic, he needs to know in the context of burning and erasing cds, not browsing
[08:33] <tlsarles> Has anyone here built Compiz from source?
[08:33] <rockets> GamingX, i have gnome desktop too it doesnt matter
[08:33] <_tux> question is it possible for me to switch to Thundar in gnome instead of using Nautilus?
[08:33] <rockets> _tux, sure just install it.
[08:33] <_tux> I have it installed
[08:33] <Parisi> ziggy, I'v always ended up stuck with AMD's, but i would probbaly prefer Intel if money was never the subject, i'v hard my share of both.

[08:34] <ziggy> lol
[08:34] <tlsarles> AMD. Just wait for their next generation of CPUs. Admidedly intel does have the lead right this min
[08:34] <ziggy> AMD is nice
[08:34] <_tux> cause I don't wanna have to click on Thundar everytime
[08:34] <rockets> tlsarles, the core 2 duos destroy current AMD models
[08:34] <Irreducibilis> And the Core Quads
[08:34] <tlsarles> yup
[08:34] <Parisi> I think Intel leads this generation.
[08:34] <rockets> tlsarles, and turions are AWFUL
[08:35] <rockets> i know because i have one.
[08:35] <ziggy> i remmeber my 486 running like a P75 with a AMD chip
[08:35] <tlsarles> indeed
[08:35] <jmd1> printk: yes, I can ping the default gateway. (just in case you missed it during the flood)
[08:35] <_tux> it would be more convenient for me if it could be set to default
[08:35] <tlsarles> I said wait for next gen... its not too far off
[08:35] <rockets> _tux, have you googled?
[08:35] <ziggy> that was way back in the day like 93
[08:35] <_tux> nope I'll have to check that
[08:35] <h1st0> _tux: what are you trying to do?
[08:35] <Parisi> rockets, I would take a Turion over an Intel Celeron any day!
[08:35] <ziggy> ha
[08:35] <Irreducibilis> Turion?
[08:35] <Irreducibilis> Ew
[08:35] <tlsarles> I want the near real-time VM support
[08:35] <rockets> _tux here you go http://assente.altervista.org/it/use_thunar_as_default_gnome_file_manager/
[08:35] <Parisi> Even the current generation.
[08:35] <printk> jmd1, that's completely weird.  i'm assuming your gateway is your router or dsl or cable modem device?  Some reason it's not routing for that box.
[08:35] <GNine> celeron still works
[08:35] <rockets> _tux theres the howto
[08:35] <brownie17> decay, still nothing logged
[08:35] <ziggy> celeron when they first came out those bords always over heated on me
[08:35] <Parisi> Celeron is awful, always will be.
[08:36] <_tux> h1st0, instead of Naltilus being the default file manager I want Thundar to be my default file manager
[08:36] <ziggy> i hated working on them
[08:36] <_tux> in gnome that is
[08:36] <jmd1> printk: yeah, that's right.
[08:36] <rockets> _tux, its thunar not thundar
[08:36] <tlsarles> You could just get a Sun Niagra
[08:36] <byonix> anyone know where to find phpmyadmin for feisty?
[08:36] <brownie17> can anyone help me decipher the reason GDM won't start up?
[08:36] <rockets> tlsarles, yeah cuz those are soooo cheap.
[08:36] <tlsarles> :-D
[08:36] <GNine> easier to get a 2ghz celeron than a 64 amd 2700
[08:36] <printk> ziggy, jus switch to xfce.. why do you want thunar instead of nautilus?
[08:36] <_tux> heh misspelled it rockets
[08:36] <rockets> brownie17, what happens
[08:36] <decay> brownie17, try looking at bootstrap.log,
[08:36] <rockets> _tux, over and over :-P
[08:37] <_tux> happens to the best of us ;-)
[08:37] <ziggy> i don't really know
[08:37] <printk> _tux, , jus switch to xfce.. why do you want thunar instead of nautilus?
[08:37] <ziggy> so XFCE is better your saying
[08:37] <printk> ziggy, sorry that message wasn't for you.
[08:37] <_tux> printk, thunar loads quicker on this old machine of mines
[08:37] <Parisi> Celerons should have been discontinued a long time ago.
[08:37] <rockets> ziggy, not "better" but its lighter weight and faster. less features though
[08:37] <tlsarles> One more time : Has anyone built compiz from source before?
[08:37] <nathan__> can anyone help me with configuring my network? the details of it are here: http://rafb.net/p/TnLqjE27.nln.html
[08:38] <rockets> tlsarles, I know you know this already but
[08:38] <_tux> with less clutter in thunar
[08:38] <rockets> !ask tlsarles
[08:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask tlsarles - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:38] <Parisi> brb
[08:38] <rockets> !ask |tlsarles
[08:38] <ubotu> tlsarles: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:38] <clearzen> How do you list all of the samba users?
[08:38] <tlsarles> :-p
[08:38] <_tux> thanks rockets I'll check that link you gave me
[08:38] <jmd1> printk: Thanks for your help, I'm going to try power cycling the router.
[08:38] <printk> jmd1, np
[08:38] <volt> anyone know if it's possible to get dual monitor to work on a compaq presario v2000 series?
[08:38] <ziggy> well hummm i don't really know
[08:38] <rockets> clearzen, a list of all samba users you've created?
[08:39] <volt> it uses the radeon xpress 200m
[08:39] <rockets> clearzen, find the smbpasswd file
[08:39] <clearzen> Yeah, just a list of all samba users authorized for the machine
[08:39] <rockets> something like tht
[08:39] <tlsarles> Just wanted to see if it just follows the normal. apt-get build-dep compiz; ./configure; make; make install; procedure
[08:39] <ziggy> whats a good program to use to download music for free off of linux ??
[08:39] <chalzedony> how to change the boot order to boot from a cd?
[08:39] <tlsarles> azureus
[08:39] <clearzen> I've been looking. I guess I could use the find command
[08:39] <brownie17> rockets, okay, so when i log in, the cursor appears, and nothing else, luckily i have the shortcut for a terminal window set to f12. i don't know how to find out what the problem ois
[08:39] <rockets> volt, intsall fglrx-control
[08:39] <volt> ziggy  http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=intitle%3A%22index+of%22+%2B%22last+modified%22+%2B%22parent+directory%22+%2Bdescription+%2Bsize+%2B%28wma%7Cmp3%29+&btnG=Search
[08:39] <tlsarles> chalzendony: its in your bios setup
[08:39] <volt> check that site out
[08:39] <_tux> ziggy, frostwire, amule, or a bittorrent
[08:40] <volt> download music off google
[08:40] <rockets> brownie17, oooh
[08:40] <rockets> brownie17, youre in permission hell brownie
[08:40] <chalzedony> tlsarles, will that be obvious when i turn it on?
[08:40] <brownie17> rockets, lolwut? should i re-install or can i be saved?
[08:40] <_tux> uses www.jamendo.com for free music << its not known artists from the USA but hey its free
[08:40] <rockets> brownie17, sudo chown -R username:username /home/username
[08:40] <ziggy> i'm not looking for a torrent download i'm more looking for a p2p like limewire
[08:40] <Parisi> _tux I prefer torrentspy.com :)
[08:40] <tlsarles> mmm..... there is usually a option called boot order, but it varries some
[08:40] <rockets> brownie17, replacing username with your actual username
[08:41] <tlsarles> usually obvious
[08:41] <rockets> brownie17, then kill x with ctrl-alt-backspace and log in
[08:41] <_tux> heh Parisi I used to use that but I don't know just got sick of going through torrents
[08:41] <ziggy> can i fine frostwire off of the add and remove
[08:41] <Parisi> ziggy Limewire is ported for Linux ya know?
[08:41] <_tux> I use BMPX for radio and listen to the SomaFA radio station
[08:41] <rockets> ziggy, no
[08:41] <brownie17> rockets, i'll try that. thanks
[08:42] <s0y> was someone asking about thunar as default in gnome
[08:42] <rockets> ziggy, frostwire provides a .deb at their website
[08:42] <ziggy> dame so what the fuck how will i install it then if i'm still a newb to linux
[08:42] <s0y> i accidently cleared chan text :/
[08:42] <rockets> s0y, yeah i linked _tux to a tutorial
[08:42] <_tux> Parisi, I personally prefer minimal yet highly configurable programs ;-)
[08:42] <arooni__> hey folks
[08:42] <s0y> oh okay
[08:42] <Parisi> _tux I like it because it ensures that i will always(almost) get the file i want with a little patience.
[08:42] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | ziggy
[08:42] <ubotu> ziggy: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:42] <ompaul> !ohmy | ziggy
[08:42] <brownie17> rockets, did not fix the problem
[08:42] <rockets> brownie17, hmm
[08:42] <_tux> Parisi, cause of the numbers it shows right on the files?
[08:42] <brownie17> rockets, how can i check permissions on my home folder?
[08:43] <rockets> brownie17, tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[08:43] <ziggy> burrrrp for the admins :)
[08:43] <arooni__> i have a 100GB drive on my lappy... right now: / = 10GB, /home = 23GB, 67 GB is free.......  what should i do with the 67 GB?  make /home bigger?  make a backup partition for documents?  ideas?
[08:43] <jmd1> printk: do you think a reasonable idea is, the router (being a pos rented from the cable company) will only do nat for ips it gives out with dhcp?
[08:43] <rockets> brownie17, theyre correct if you did what i said to do, so its something else
[08:43] <rockets> brownie17, but ls -l will show them
[08:43] <_tux> Anyone excited about Gobuntu or is everyone sticking to Ubuntu
[08:43] <tlsarles> I just did "compiz --replace" and i lost all my title bars on my windows. Is there a command to unload compiz?
[08:43] <tlsarles> Sticking with the original
[08:43] <rockets> tlsarles, ctlr-alt-backspace. compiz has no window manager if you dont configure it.
[08:43] <Parisi> _tux I like the concept of downloading/uploading (sharing), but i do not mind buying (good) software.
[08:43] <ironmatar> o/
[08:43] <tlsarles> oh...
[08:44] <tlsarles> how do i spesify the window manager?
[08:44] <rockets> tlsarles, just enable compiz with the desktop effects control panel
[08:44] <Parisi> _tux Whats gobuntu?
[08:44] <rockets> tlsarles, assuming you have nvidia or intel video, or ati+xgl, that will work fine
[08:44] <GNine> compiz crashed my puter today. 2 hours to get xorg back up
[08:44] <tlsarles> I was trying to avoid the ctrl-alt-backspace
[08:44] <_tux> Parisi, Same here but I hate to see things like Photoshop go closed source or other good programs
[08:44] <rockets> Parisi, its 100% open source ubuntu, no proprietary drivers or apps
[08:44] <printk> jmd1, yah that's what i was thinking.  def possible
[08:44] <ziggy> brb every one
[08:45] <GNine> ill wait for a more stable version b4 i mess with that again
[08:45] <rockets> ziggy, we shall await your return with much anticipation
[08:45] <_tux> Parisi, Gobuntu is a derived version of gnewsense and ubuntu which consist of totally open source software
[08:45] <brownie17> rockets, on it's way
[08:45] <aman> rockets there no such file /etc/resolv.conf but a folder /etc/resolvconf
[08:45] <tlsarles> I have the nvidia driver installed. I just built compiz from source. I want the current version rather than the prebuilt
[08:45] <brownie17> rockets, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35212/
[08:45] <rockets> aman, that makes no sense
[08:45] <rockets> aman, you got me man
[08:45] <tlsarles> How do i spesify a windows manager for it?
[08:45] <_tux> Parisi, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gobuntu
[08:45] <printk> tlsarles, compiz is the window manager
[08:45] <rockets> brownie17, lookign
[08:45] <s0y> is there a way to disable  the "choose disc type" prompt when inserting a blank disc into your cd/dvd drive?
[08:46] <aman> rockets sorry could not understand
[08:46] <aman> what u said
[08:46] <aman> ?
[08:46] <rockets> brownie17, hmm that doesnt really tell me much
[08:46] <Parisi> rockets, That is so like early 2000.
[08:46] <brownie17> aman, he doesnt know how to help you
[08:46] <rockets> aman, im saying im not sure what you should do
[08:46] <tlsarles> ummm.... then what is emerald? i thought that was the window manager?
[08:46] <brownie17> rockets, i think that is related to the problem. but i'm not sure how or why
[08:46] <aman> rockets no idea?
[08:46] <nathan__> can anyone help me with configuring my network? the details of it are here: http://rafb.net/p/TnLqjE27.nln.html
[08:46] <rockets> brownie17, you ran fc-cache already?
[08:46] <brownie17> rockets, no. what is that
[08:46] <Parisi> rockets, i guess i can see its use.
[08:47] <lindar> Where can I get the GTK 2.0 devel headers?
[08:47] <brownie17> rockets, just did it. no ouput
[08:47] <_tux> Parisi, in Ubuntu most of the stuff you see is open source, free software, and Proprietary software
[08:47] <rockets> brownie17, then it worked. but it wont fix ur problem
[08:47] <_tux> which is why Gobuntu is getting created
[08:47] <rockets> brownie17, the tail results have nothing related in it
[08:47] <Parisi> _tux, Ya im aware of that, but i always like the concept of both co existing together.
[08:47] <bullgard4> What programs will find notes which I have put in the tab 'Notes' of the 'Properties of [file] ' dialogs?
[08:47] <ari_stress> afternoon
[08:47] <rockets> brownie17, post ALL of Xorg.0.log and /var/log/bootstrap.log
[08:47] <rockets> brownie17, post them seperately
[08:48] <brownie17> rockets, okay. any other ideas how i can fix the problem? even if its a annoying thing like creating a new user? (which doesn't work)
[08:48] <rockets> brownie17, have you tried logging in to gnome failsafe
[08:48] <Parisi> Linux needs proprietary technology for people like me.
[08:48] <rockets> brownie17, select the session gnome-failsafe
[08:48] <_tux> Parisi, I agree but hey Linux in general is open source and doesn't contain Proprietary software but modifications that exist in other distros do
[08:48] <aman> rockets open this link may be u would be more clear about my problem https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/12262
[08:48] <_tux> haha Parisi
[08:49] <GamingX> Guys, in apt-cache you get only the basic description of the package, any command to get a detailed decscription?
[08:49] <rockets> aman, you have DHCP or static IP
[08:49] <Parisi> I think OSX might just be the OS for me, as much as i dislike the apple crowd.
[08:49] <_tux> without Proprietary software I wouldn't be able to play WMV files or other things it seems
[08:49] <tlsarles> F!! Had to ctrl-alt-backspace cuz ctrl-c'ing my compiz --replace totally F'd my X session
[08:49] <rockets> Parisi, OSX is amazing but i wont use it on principal
[08:49] <tlsarles> :-D
[08:49] <aman> static ip
[08:49] <_tux> Parisi, if OSX were open source I jump right on it
[08:49] <_tux> lol
[08:49] <rockets> _tux, exactley
[08:49] <_tux> I still like Mac OS X though regrad of it being Proprietary software
[08:49] <aman> rockets static ip
[08:50] <rockets> aman, you set your IP in /etc/networking/interfaces?
[08:50] <tlsarles> So again, how do i tell compiz what window decorator to use?
[08:50] <_tux> its a lovely system
[08:50] <lindar> Where do I get the GTK development headers?
[08:50] <Parisi> _tux, It has its share of open source i would think?
[08:50] <_tux> Safari is a cool web browser
[08:50] <rockets> tlsarles, sudo flux-capacitor --fix
[08:50] <tlsarles> :-\
[08:50] <brownie17> rockets, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35213/
[08:50] <rockets> tlsarles, kidding
[08:50] <_tux> Parisi, yeah probably its Darwin brother
[08:50] <Parisi> _tux, I tried OSX on my PC for a little while, it works very fast.
[08:51] <Parisi> I can dream of a official port of OSX for PC i guess.
[08:51] <_tux> Parisi, running a high-end processor that supports SSE3 or something like that?
[08:51] <rockets> brownie17, brownie17 you could try removing gdm and then reinstall ubuntu-deskto
[08:51] <daryl_> Hey, everytime I press shift+backspace my xterminal restarts.  How can i get rid of this problem?
[08:51] <rockets> brownie17, brownie17 you could try removing gdm and then reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[08:51] <yeniklasorr> With which option must I burn a cd with K3b for creating a VCD compatible mp3 cd ? When writing data cd mode, my VCD can't play it.
[08:51] <Parisi> _tux amd dual core, 3800X, so yes.
[08:51] <_tux> Parisi, I switch over OSX on PC if it would possible cause Windows is like ugh to me
[08:51] <aman> rockets i just went to System -> administration -> network and specified my ip, subnet mask and gateway
[08:51] <rockets> what the hell is a vcd compatible mp3
[08:51] <_tux> not much of a gamer
[08:52] <rockets> aman, what does ifconfig -a say
[08:52] <byonix> how come, when i tried to install Ms Office 2003 using wine, all went well, but when writing registries, then error, the installation process aborted
[08:52] <_tux> nice Parisi running on an old AMD Athlon here
[08:52] <_tux> can't do much with Ubuntu
[08:52] <brownie17> rockets, umm so sudo apt-get remove gdm && sudo apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop?
[08:52] <rockets> byonix, because you cant install msoffice straight up with wine
[08:52] <DARKGuy> Hey guys, I'm trying to share my internet connection (PC1) which I have through eth0 and a wireless card (rausb1) plugged in it. to my laptop (PC2) which as integrated wireless (ra0) so I can connect it to the internet using my ethernet connection on PC1. So far so good, the PCs ping each other, but the laptop (PC2) can't see the outside world. Could anybody help me please? been trying for 3 days... I even reinstalled Ubuntu on the two machines and I w
[08:52] <DARKGuy> ant to do it right, I'm with a fresh install and haven't touch anything yet. Detailed info there -> http://pastebin.ca/672041
[08:52] <aman> rockets see th link http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35143/
[08:52] <rockets> brownie17, yes but dont use the && do one at a time
[08:52] <Parisi> _tux Ya, alot of people would, i think apple is stupid on that aspect.
[08:52] <_tux> I'd like to try out out all those cool effects on Linux one day
[08:52] <rockets> brownie17, removing gdm should remove gnome and lots of other stuff, then installing ubuntu-desktop will put it all back
[08:53] <byonix> rockets, so with what then?
[08:53] <rockets> byonix, what is itt you want to do
[08:53] <brownie17> rockets, okay so this is about 90% sure to work?
[08:53] <_tux> Parisi, Same here but supposedly they say that their parts of are higher quality as to yet I can't disagree nor agree with them on that part seeing as I don't work for them
[08:53] <rockets> brownie17, nope. but you cant be much worse off can you
[08:53] <byonix> rockets, to install ms office in my ubuntu
[08:53] <_tux> so there plan is to stay like that
[08:53] <aman> rockets see the link for ifconfig http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35143/
[08:53] <mattg> question! cannot play my dvds...whats a common issue?
[08:53] <lindar> Where do I get the GTK development headers?
[08:53] <rockets> byonix, whats wrong with openoffice. if you really want msoffice you can buy crossover office
[08:54] <Parisi> _tux, I used a P4 single core with 512 RAM for years, it was time to get something nice for once, i do alot of Hobby OS testing.
[08:54] <rockets> mattg, you need libdvdcss2
[08:54] <mattg> how do i get it, rockets?
[08:54] <brownie17> rockets i'm not sure if GDM was removed, but got over the terminal limit for error messages
[08:54] <_tux> But I could probably say Apple will more than likely have a bigger market share if they allowed users to use OSX on PCs
[08:54] <aman> rocketa did u saw that
[08:54] <rockets> rockets, heh
[08:54] <rockets> mattg, medibuntu repository
[08:54] <aman> rockets did u saw that
[08:54] <_tux> Parisi, Yeah I think everyone should get something nice
[08:54] <brownie17> rockets, also, reinstall is not a valid operation
[08:54] <s0y> they'd have more bugs to worry about too _tux
[08:54] <daryl_> exit
[08:54] <rockets> brownie17, no just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[08:55] <rockets> aman, looking
[08:55] <_tux> s0y, cause of all them people huh? just like Windows
[08:55] <s0y> also different hardware
[08:55] <rockets> aman, if you have no internet access how are you pasting that
[08:55] <s0y> hence why hackintosh's don't always work perfectly
[08:55] <Parisi> _tux, I think it has alot to do with control of quality, they do work closely on both software/hardware but i am sure there is a still a big $ market for it.
[08:55] <byonix> rockets, nothing, just for fun, i would if they are here, they aren't here, to bad for them (crossover)
[08:56] <ziggy> i have a qustion where would i find visual plugins for a vista look for the flower pot and Clock and the dates of the month and stuff like that it looks like vista

[08:56] <aman> rockets internet is working fine in windows but in ubuntu 7.04 its not working
[08:56] <brownie17> rockets, "Changes will take effect when all current X sessions have ended." should i ctrl+alt+bckspace?
[08:56] <_tux> Parisi, Yeah but it doesn't seem like they care about the People people like to customize there PCs and hardware but hey that's just Apple and we can't really argue about that
[08:56] <_tux> its just Business as they say ;-)
[08:56] <rockets> brownie17, nah, reboot
[08:56] <Parisi> _tux I could have a Mac, but you know what? Theyre so freakin expensive (desktop wise), on the notebook category theyre actually more competitive.
[08:56] <ziggy> does anyoen know where i can find that ?
[08:56] <ziggy> Anyone**
[08:56] <brownie17> rockets, okay, brb after reboot, 2 mins

[08:58] <Parisi> _tux Typical apple, i would be happy to see them lose market share for Windows/Linux, but MS just likes to screw themselves.
[08:58] <_tux> but than again you seem to be getting an OS that doesn't include a lot of issues that Windows carries or has been carrying over the years
[08:58] <aman> rockets internet is working fine in windows but in ubuntu 7.04 its not working
[08:58] <Parisi> _tux and Linux is just linux, and probbaly always will be.
[08:58] <_tux> Parisi, Don't know if you know this but Mac OS X Leopard is officially now a UNIX OS

[08:59] <_tux> Linux is going to be here for a long time seeing how it runs most of the servers
[08:59] <Parisi> _tux No, not even sure what that means, that sounds nice.
[08:59] <Irreducibilis> If it is unix, then its should work on everything else...

[09:01] <brownie17> rockets, no it's not your fault. thankyou so much for trying.
[09:01] <rockets> aman, post your /etc/network/interfaces file and your /etc/resolv.conf file
[09:01] <Irreducibilis> So you could use OSX on any computer now?
[09:01] <rockets> _tux, I was kidding that now they could do that
[09:01] <s0y> tyler-wylie, check msgs
[09:01] <Irreducibilis> not a mac only
[09:01] <aman> rockets where
[09:01] <rockets> aman, ubuntu . . .
[09:01] <_tux> I'm confused lol
[09:01] <Parisi> _tux, that sounds nice, i think OSX is a joy to use (for the most part)
[09:01] <aman> rockets at pastebin
[09:01] <rockets> aman, yes
[09:01] <brownie17> does anybody know how i can find out why gnome refuses to start?
[09:02] <_tux> rockets is telling me something than Irre is telling me something haha
[09:02] <Parisi> I still like the Windows/Linux way better for certain things.
[09:02] <gregorovius> DARKGuy, have you properly set NAT on PC1?
[09:02] <rockets> brownie17, did you try gnome-failsafe
[09:02] <s0y> Irreducibilis, yes but not legally
[09:02] <brownie17> rockets, no. just type that into a terminal?
[09:02] <rockets> brownie17, nono
[09:02] <aman> ok i m sendin in 5 mins becoz it takes time to change OS
[09:02] <HelpMe> When I type "sudo gedit /etc/inittab" in the terminal, a thing pops up and sais its loading, but when its done, its a blank text editore.  Why is this?
[09:02] <DARKGuy> gregorovius, not yet, I'm hoping for someone experienced to help me there, I don't want to go through another Ubuntu reinstall because something screwed up... so nope. Do you know how?
[09:02] <aman> rockets ok i m sendin in 5 mins becoz it takes time to change OS
[09:02] <rockets> brownie17, at the login screen, click session, then gnome failsafe
[09:02] <_tux> Parisi, I'd like to get a Mac laptop someday and install FreeBSD, Fedora, Gentoo or some other distro than a copy of Windows
[09:02] <rockets> aman, ok just give me the links
[09:02] <brownie17> rockets. will try
[09:02] <Parisi> Irreducibilis, Yes if you know what you are doing, but its experimental.
[09:03] <Parisi> _tux, lol
[09:03] <rockets> Irreducibilis, thing is there arent drivers for all hardware
[09:03] <rockets> Irreducibilis, apple doesnt make drivers for dell inpirons :-P
[09:03] <_tux> Gentoo sounds like a Linux distro on which you can control
[09:03] <rockets> _tux, it is, it compiles everything from source.
[09:03] <_tux> everything gets installed from source indeed
[09:03] <gregorovius> DARKGuy, I have no idea if NAT changes much on wireless, but in my case, all I have to did was check a couple of boxes in firestarter
[09:03] <rockets> EliasAmaral, tom?
[09:03] <_tux> compiling takes forever too lol
[09:03] <Greek_Samurai> Hallo ppl! Does anyone have any idea on what i should do with my ATI x1950 which is not yet supported for the linux community?
[09:04] <rockets> Greek_Samurai, wait.
[09:04] <_tux> ./configure, make, su root, make install
[09:04] <_tux> Parisi, you ever used FreeBSD?
[09:04] <brownie17> rockets, this works fine
[09:04] <Parisi> Man, i have attempted a Gentoo Install 1 once, it nearly would have taken me days.
[09:04] <_tux> lol Parisi
[09:04] <brownie17> Greek_Samurai, sell?
[09:04] <rockets> brownie17, yay. now you can try to fix your regular session
[09:04] <Parisi> Days on a fast machine i mean, more like weeks on a lower spec PC.
[09:04] <_tux> I burnt a copy of Gentoo and it told me the gdm wouldn't work and I couldn't use gnome, kde, or any other one
[09:05] <brownie17> rockets, don't really see how this helps me though. what is the difference between normal and failsafe? can i just use failsafe forever?
[09:05] <Greek_Samurai> rockets, wait as in wait for drivers to come out, or wait for you to tell me something more :p
[09:05] <Parisi> _tux Ya, FreeBSD yes.
[09:05] <rockets> brownie17, not sure actually
[09:05] <_tux> Parisi, how is it?
[09:05] <rockets> Greek_Samurai, drivers :-P
[09:05] <brownie17> rockets, okay thanks
[09:05] <Greek_Samurai> brownie17, i cannot sell it friend. it is the AGP version and it's quite expensive to sell...
[09:05] <rockets> brownie17, I just know failsafe often works when normal doesnt
[09:05] <_tux> I've used Ubuntu, Knoppix, Accelerated Knoppix, a little of Fedora, a little Centos, and a couple of others
[09:06] <rockets> Greek_Samurai, in general ATI + LINUX = EVIL
[09:06] <DARKGuy> gregorovius, well I could install firestarter, but how would I configure the rausb1 and ra0 on both PCs then?
[09:06] <brownie17> rockets, when i started it it told me no scripts would be run. where can i find what scripts weren't run that usually are?
[09:06] <Greek_Samurai> installing the x1900 drivers wont do the trick, right?
[09:06] <DARKGuy> gregorovius, I have to give both devices a static IP
[09:06] <_tux> APT works just like YUM in Fedora
[09:06] <rockets> brownie17, i dont know but #gnome on the gimpnet server is a good place to ask that
[09:06] <Greek_Samurai> rockets, yes, it may be so, but nVidia is evil by nature... ;-)
[09:06] <gregorovius> DARKGuy, can't you use dhcp on PC1?
[09:06] <rockets> _tux, youve got it backwards
[09:06] <_tux> rockets I know lol
[09:06] <Parisi> _tux Depends, great for web/file server, excellent documentation, very fast on old PC hardware, software managenent is as good as Ubuntu if not better, so much more.
[09:06] <brownie17> rockets, irc.gimp.net?
[09:07] <rockets> brownie17, its in xchat's list of servers
[09:07] <rockets> brownie17, just google gnome ric
[09:07] <rockets> gnome irc*
[09:07] <DARKGuy> gregorovius, I can connect, but I'm not sure if I can enable it as a server through firestarter
[09:07] <_tux> instead of sudo apt-get install its su -c 'yum install' its crazy
[09:07] <DARKGuy> gregorovius, most times I've tried it always says there's an error and never enables it
[09:07] <DARKGuy> gregorovius, and that's been going on since Edgy :/
[09:07] <rockets> _tux, but it f****ng reloads the repositories EVERY TIME you yum install. takes bloody forever
[09:07] <Parisi> _tux, I think youre experience would almost exactly the same as Linux if you know youre way around a terminal.
[09:07] <_tux> Parisi, seems I'll have to try it out
[09:07] <_tux> Parisi, I know some commands in the terminal
[09:08] <rockets> Parisi, are you saying bsd is like linux?
[09:08] <_tux> I use xterm cause it loads faster
[09:08] <rockets> I use gnome-terminal cuz it doesn't suck :-D
[09:08] <Parisi> _tux, Also runs Linux apps, has all same apps, runs X fine, no clue about 3D desktop effects, i have not touched it in years.
[09:08] <_tux> Parisi, sounds like an OS for me lol
[09:08] <Parisi> rockets, Shares alot of similarities.
[09:08] <Aishiko_> hey all
[09:09] <Parisi> _tux it is ROCK solid.
[09:09] <_tux> I like Ubuntu but reminds me of Windows
[09:09] <kraut> moin
[09:09] <dras> Where can I set a program from /usr/bin to run on start up ?
[09:09] <rockets> _tux, why? because it Just Works (tm)?
[09:09] <_tux> I want something more advance
[09:09] <_tux> rockets Yes sir haha
[09:09] <_tux> and deb packages are like exes except without the extra clicking
[09:09] <Parisi> _tux, There are distros specifically for desktop use based on the FreeBSD OS, check out distrowatch.
[09:10] <rockets> _tux, you want something you have to spend 3 hours to get your sound working with :-P
[09:10] <rockets> smart.
[09:10] <rockets> some of us have real work to do.
[09:10] <_tux> heh rockets maybe I just got too much freetime haha
[09:10] <dras> Where can I set a program from /usr/bin to run on start up ? anyone know
[09:10] <_tux> you're right though
[09:10] <dras> a file in /etc to add a line to
[09:10] <rockets> _tux, try out slackware then
[09:10] <brownie17> rockets, is it a metacity problem or a gnome one?
[09:10] <h1st0> dras: System > Preferences > Sessions
[09:10] <rockets> _tux, slackware has no equivalent of apt-get or yum, its ALL manual
[09:10] <_tux> Ubuntu is probably the best choice for desktop use
[09:10] <_tux> or Debian
[09:10] <rockets> brownie17, well if i knew that . . .
[09:10] <Rat409> dras:  /etc/init.d
[09:10] <_tux> rockets, isn't that like Gentoo
[09:11] <dras> brownie cool havent seen that before
[09:11] <dras> thanks
[09:11] <matti> Morning :)
[09:11] <rockets> _tux, no, gentoo has emerge, which autocompiles things
[09:11] <Aishiko_> got a hardware ques\tion about s\upport I have a dell that Ifit works\ I'll turn it into my linux box but I'm not s\ure if it's\ s\upported under linux, all the chipsets\ on it are Intel and I think Intel is\ thebes\t s\upported in Linux right?
[09:11] <brownie17> rockets, okay sorry. also how do i delete all my 'saved sessions'? google tells me this might be related
[09:11] <_tux> damn so slackware is more complicated I take
[09:11] <rockets> brownie17, dont know, i never save sessions
[09:11] <rockets> _tux, slackware is about as close to UNIX as linux gets
[09:11] <brownie17> rockets, okay thanks
[09:11] <Aishiko_> sorry for the "s\" but my keyboard is\ mes\s\ed up.
[09:11] <Parisi> Gentoo "tries" to be like FreeBSD, but it fails.
[09:11] <francisconroy> how can i install IDLE
[09:11] <_tux> Parisi, yeah like PC-BSD and I think DragonFlyBSD
[09:11] <francisconroy> ??
[09:11] <rockets> brownie17, i dont think i can help you :(
[09:11] <brownie17> does anyone know how to delete 'saved sessions'
[09:11] <Parisi> rockets, Ya, thats true.
[09:12] <brownie17> rockets, okay i'll get out of your hair now. you've been an amazing helop
[09:12] <mattg> wine is throwing an error in there, so it cannot finish, rocket
[09:12] <rockets> brownie17, yeah, sorry i couldnt do more
[09:12] <dras> ubuntu is the only linux worth keeping
[09:12] <_tux> awesome
[09:12] <Parisi> _tux, right.
[09:12] <francisconroy> how do i install IDLE
[09:12] <rockets> brownie17, try #gnome and #xorg
[09:12] <dras> it really is great
[09:12] <francisconroy> please
[09:12] <_tux> any live distros of Slackware?
[09:12] <_tux> oops
[09:12] <freak124> I want to switch from 3 partitions to 2 partitions: someone said I would have to renstall, someone else said it would be thoug but it's possible, someone can help?
[09:12] <_tux> Live CDs
[09:12] <Parisi> _tux, yes, i think i have used one named SLAX.
[09:12] <rockets> francisconroy, sudo apt-get install idle
[09:12] <mattg> how do i completely remove wine?
[09:12] <francisconroy> thanks rocket
[09:13] <_tux> I remember using BackTrack2 a security distro its pretty awesome it has a bunch of security tools
[09:13] <rockets> mattg, dpkg -r --purge wine
[09:13] <_tux> thanks Parisi I'll check that out
[09:13] <Aishiko_> freak you can us\e a program like gpart's\ live CD to res\ize them and create your new partation
[09:13] <rockets> mattg, then delete ~/.wine
[09:13] <_tux> my fav site is wikipedia for information
[09:13] <rockets> mattg, rm -r ~./wine
[09:13] <Parisi> _tux, i like to check distrowatch every now and then.
[09:13] <mojojojo_> ~refresh
[09:13] <rockets> or rather
[09:13] <mojojojo_> !refresh
[09:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about refresh - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:13] <rockets> ~/.wine
[09:14] <rockets> mojojojo_, bubbles could kick your a$$
[09:14] <mojojojo_> How can I easily change refresh rate of my monitor?
[09:14] <Parisi> _tux, I would look into Sabayon if you havent already/
[09:14] <dras> and does anyone know how to put an <ENTER> into a script I made? Like im setting up samba and it prompts for password for every share i mount (but they dont have passwords, so i just press enter and it goes to the next share)
[09:14] <dras> or maybe theres an easier graphical way to do this ?
[09:14] <mojojojo_> rockets:  sure she could, ;)
[09:14] <rockets> Parisi, you cant *easily* change it. but you could do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:14] <freak124> Aishiko_-->I tried, but I have 4 partitions yet, so I'm unable to create another primary partition, that's why I want to switch from 3 to 2 partitions
[09:14] <_tux> Sabayon I seen that its like Gentoo except with something
[09:14] <Irreducibilis> !pie
[09:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pie - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:14] <rockets> Irreducibilis, did I hear pie?
[09:14] <Irreducibilis> yep
[09:14] <Parisi> rockets, Come again?
[09:15] <mattg> okay, now i'm getting a GPG error, rocket
[09:15] <_tux> I think I might FreeBSD more though seeing as the way you described it Parisi
[09:15] <Aishiko_> freak I s\ee you need to change the 4th primary to an extended partaion to have more then 4 on a hard drive
[09:15] <_tux> but ya never know
[09:15] <mattg> still with wine, rocket.  something about the key
[09:15] <rockets> Parisi, from the terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will generate a new xorg.conf for you and let you specify things like refresh rate, resolutions, drivers, etc
[09:16] <Parisi> _tux, Wont hurt to check it out, i just like the documentation, and it makes up for an excellent server.
[09:16] <mattg> okay, now i'm getting a GPG error, rockets
[09:16] <mattg> still with wine, rockets.  something about the key
[09:16] <freak124> Aishiko_-->that's good to for me, but how do I do it without loosing my data?
[09:16] <_tux> yeah especially MS used it a couple years back Parisi don't know if they still use it
[09:16] <rockets> mattg, wine doesnt use gpg that makes no sense
[09:16] <_tux> I know Yahoo did too
[09:16] <Parisi> _tux, For desktop use i would probabbly stick with Linux, or windows.
[09:16] <mattg> GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com feisty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 58403026387EE263
[09:16] <mattg> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems    rockets
[09:16] <Parisi> _tux I think yahoo still runs on FreeBSD mostly.
[09:16] <_tux> Ubuntu is a wise choice for desktop
[09:17] <rockets> mattg, so run apt-get update
[09:17] <_tux> but going to probably switch to Gobuntu just to try it out
[09:17] <Parisi> Yikes.
[09:17] <_tux> google uses like some GWS
[09:17] <rockets> _tux, Gobuntu is just ubuntu with less stuff working basically
[09:17] <Aishiko_> my problem is\ htat ubuntu does\n't detect my PCI s\lots\ on my des\ktop s\o I'm looking ro replace it
[09:17] <mattg> comes back with the same exact thing, rockets
[09:17] <_tux> rockets, I know but still wanna try it out lol
[09:17] <rockets> mattg, idk man
[09:17] <Parisi> I would think google uses their own proprietary technology.
[09:17] <mattg> dang it, ok, thx rockets
[09:17] <rockets> google runs modified ubuntu
[09:17] <_tux> it probably won't even install flash
[09:18] <rockets> _tux, sure it will. gnash.
[09:18] <Parisi> rockets, Nah.
[09:18] <Slart> anyone know of a 3gp to avi converter? (3gp is a weird little format that some cell phones use)
[09:18] <Parisi> If anything, they run on top of Debian :)
[09:19] <rockets> Slart, windows apps unfortunately
[09:19] <cabler0y> Hi, after upgrade 6.10 -> 7.04 i don't get console only gdm login screen, how can i fix that?
[09:19] <Greek_Samurai> bb all
[09:19] <Parisi> brb
[09:19] <ruminator> anyone know a command line utility for cutting pieces out of mp3 files?
[09:20] <Slart> rockets: mm, so google tells me =/ and most cost money too
[09:20] <happyface> Why can't I get JRE to install on a USB drive Ubuntu? (v6.10... I install JREv6 but it doesn't register or something)
[09:20] <happyface> sdas
[09:20] <_tux> What you guys think of an authentication method like using riddles with a password
[09:20] <rockets> Slart, im sure you know how to avoid that
[09:21] <Irreducibilis> "What is your mother's maiden name?"
[09:21] <julle> is there any SFV-Check program available for ubuntu?
[09:21] <Slart> rockets: hehe.. being a linux user for a couple of years I've almost forgotten about that stuff.. but yes.. I remember enough
[09:21] <h1st0> rockets: ffmpeg
[09:21] <_tux> Irre, was that towards me? lol
[09:21] <rockets> julle, cksfv
[09:21] <julle> rockets, is that GUI?
[09:21] <rockets> h1st0, thats all command line . . .
[09:22] <rockets> julle, no clue, i just saw it by doing apt-cache search sfv
[09:22] <julle> rockets, alright thanks
[09:22] <rockets> julle, im betting its not gui though
[09:22] <julle> i think i've used a long time ago
[09:22] <Slart> _tux: riddles are very very language dependant.. but if you're only focusing on one language group I guess it would be ok
[09:22] <julle> i'll give it a try
[09:23] <_tux> seeing if a new idea like that would work that's all Slart cause riddles are confusing
[09:23] <Aishiko_> is\ there an ubuntu channel for dealing with hardware is\s\ues\?
[09:23] <rockets> dd of=blah.3gp of=blah.mpeg itd be so great if that worked
[09:23] <rockets> Aishiko, this is the channel for all ubuntu 7.04 and earlier support
[09:23] <kompe> tacers
[09:24] <r00723r0> how do i make the archive manager view rpms?
[09:24] <Slart> rockets: hmm... some posts seem to recommend ffmpeg for 3gp->avi conversion..I'll read on and check for details
[09:24] <rockets> Slart, that will definitely work, but its hard :-D
[09:24] <r00723r0> anyone know?
[09:24] <Rambo> hello
[09:25] <Aishiko_> ahh OK thank you Rockets\'
[09:25] <rockets> Aishiko, do you need support?
[09:25] <ziggy> doing to bed all peace
[09:25] <ziggy> :)
[09:25] <ziggy> night all
[09:25] <rockets> night zig
[09:25] <ziggy> see you peps tomorow for more help :) ;_
[09:26] <r00723r0> does anyone know how to make the archive manager view rpms?
[09:26] <brownie17> rockets, fixed the problem. not sure how and not sure out of two 'solutions' which one worked.
[09:26] <brownie17> rockets, i went to sound preferences and unchecked ESD support,
[09:26] <_tux> awesome I just broke nautilus trying to use the tutorial to switch too thunar
[09:26] <bullgard4> What programs will find notes which I have put in the tab 'Notes' of the 'Properties of [file] ' dialogs?
[09:26] <rockets> brownie17, seriously? i never would have guessed that. but yeah ESD is no longer really maintained, its old and buggy
[09:27] <brownie17> rockets, also did this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/61381/comments/92
[09:27] <rockets> brownie17, happy to hear its up and running
[09:27] <brownie17> rockets, do you know what effect disabling ESD will have?
[09:27] <rockets> brownie17, nah it was the esd thing
[09:27] <bullgard4> 'echo -ne \007' does not function in my Ubuntu 7.04 computer. How to repair this?
[09:27] <rockets> brownie17, esd helps some soundcards play more then one sound at a time
[09:27] <rockets> brownie17, but alsa can handle it for many cards as well
[09:27] <rockets> brownie17, if you can play music and hear other sounds at the same time, then you'
[09:27] <rockets> you're fine*
[09:27] <Aishiko_> Rockets\ jus\t wondering why my PCI s\lots\ on an VIA chips\et arn't being found s\o I have no Us\B, s\ound or ehternet.
[09:28] <brownie17> rockets, okay cool. i don't know if that is relevant to me, but i will do some testing. i am SO greatful for your help
[09:28] <rockets> Aishiko, why are you typing like that
[09:28] <rockets> brownie17, no problem.
[09:28] <cabler0y> Hi, after upgrade 6.10 -> 7.04 i don't get console only gdm login screen, how can i fix that?
[09:28] <rockets> cabler0y, ctrl-alt-f1 does nothing?

[09:30] <francisconroy> what are the ubuntu server system requirements?
[09:30] <rockets> francisconroy, essentially nothing
[09:30] <rockets> francisconroy, whats your server got?

[09:33] <rockets> cabler0y, ctrl-alt-f2?
[09:33] <Irreducibilis> Aishiko: Google traslate?
[09:33] <cabler0y> rockets, yes, rest is blank, only blinking cursor
[09:33] <rockets> cabler0y, well, on older ubuntus it would be something in inittab
[09:34] <rockets> but there is no more inittab so im not sure
[09:34] <Aishiko_> hmm let me s\ee
[09:34] <Zara_thrustra> I have a problem, I have windows vista and would like to keep it as a secondary operating system while running ubuntu linux, but vista says it requires any other operating system to be installed on an NTFS partition, can I do this?
[09:34] <r00723r0> does anyone know how to make the archive manager view rpms?
[09:34] <Aishiko_> I tried that and got a invalid address error
[09:34] <rockets> Zara_thrustra, just install ubuntu into a free partition it will dual boot automatically
[09:34] <rockets> Zara_thrustra, vista says lots of things
[09:34] <faileas> Zara_thrustra: thats somewhat BSish
[09:35] <Zara_thrustra> rockets: I've heard if you run vista it "eats" the other operating system, I thought it was bull but I don't want to take chances
[09:35] <Zara_thrustra> so in this case
[09:35] <Zara_thrustra> I'm trying to be carefull
[09:35] <GNine> ubuntu will create its own partition upon installation
[09:35] <Zara_thrustra> It won't damage vista?
[09:35] <Zara_thrustra> and vista won't damage it?
[09:36] <GNine> both OS can be in one hard drive..
[09:36] <aman> rockets here is the link of resolv.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35216/
[09:36] <r00723r0> Zara_thrustra: why would you use vista in the first place? it's just a prettier XP
[09:36] <r00723r0> with a price premium
[09:36] <_tux> will brb
[09:36] <Zara_thrustra> It came with the laptot
[09:36] <Parisi> r00723r0 Dont spread FUD
[09:36] <r00723r0> i see
[09:36] <Zara_thrustra> laptop, and since it's so expensive I don't want to remove it
[09:36] <Parisi> Zara_thrustra ignore him.
[09:36] <aman> rockets and link for interfaces is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35215/
[09:36] <Zara_thrustra> in case it actually comes in handy
[09:36] <rockets> aman, im really not sure dude
[09:37] <Zara_thrustra> thanks parisi
[09:37] <faileas> Zara_thrustra: as long as you don't use gparted on the vista partition. use vista's OWN partition manager to shrink, then install ubuntu on the new partition
[09:37] <r00723r0> ...
[09:37] <aman> rockets for what
[09:37] <r00723r0> as if i was trying to start something
[09:37] <aman> ?
[09:37] <r00723r0> i was just curious
[09:37] <rockets> aman, not sure about your problem
[09:37] <Thurin1> What is the refresh rate at which Ubuntu starts on boot-up from the installation CD?
[09:37] <Parisi> Zara_thrustra You will make sure you have some free space on your HD in order to make a pertition for Linux (EXT3 likely)
[09:37] <GNine> !dualboot

[09:37] <Zara_thrustra> I have lots of space parisi
[09:37] <Zara_thrustra> I just got this laptop yesterday
[09:37] <mactimes_> Hello Human Beings!
[09:38] <lindar> What do I edit to make a program (ndiswrapper) start on startup?
[09:38] <rockets> lindar, thats a kernel moduel not a "program"
[09:38] <faileas> Zara_thrustra: one thing though. got a recovery partition?
[09:38] <rockets> lindar, add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules
[09:38] <aman> rockets see this link may be u would be more clear about my problem https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/12262
[09:38] <Zara_thrustra> yea faileas
[09:38] <Wess>  Hi, LiveCD does not work in my laptop. Generating error on drive fd0. I do not use any floppy. It just hangs, any suggestion? thanks
[09:38] <faileas> Zara_thrustra: grub might nuke it. i ALWAYS have problems with it.
[09:39] <rockets> aman, according to that site your internet works just fine
[09:39] <mactimes_> I have a noob question to make:  I installed a libesmtp lib and can compile everything Ok.  But at runtime, it shows _error while loading shared libraries: libesmtp.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory_.  Could someone, please, help me with this issue?
[09:39] <Parisi> Zara_thrustra I am not sure Vista's built in app will shrink the partition for you, you will most likely have to use Ubuntu's gparted to shrink the NTFS partition and and use the free space available to create both EXT and Swap partitions for Ubuntu.
[09:39] <faileas> Zara_thrustra: wubi plays nice with recovery partitions. else check how to restore your OEM bootloader (like IBM R&R) BEFORE you install ubuntu
[09:39] <GNine> !wubi
[09:39] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[09:39] <aman> rockets i m using windows right now and internet s working fine in windows
[09:40] <rockets> aman, oh. i really dont know man im sorry. try #networking
[09:40] <faileas> Parisi, Zara_thrustra: gparted has issues with the vista ntfa filesystem
[09:40] <faileas> *ntfs
[09:40] <r00723r0> does nobody know or am i being ignored?
[09:40] <Prince> Parisi, your suggestion maybe a very bad idea dueo tp pagefiles and shadow files
[09:40] <r00723r0> i'm sorry i asked about vista...
[09:40] <Prince> due to*
[09:40] <r00723r0> mycroes: ?!?!
[09:40] <Parisi> faileas I triple boot XP, VISTA and Ubuntu and have no problems, maybe im just special :(
[09:40] <rockets> r00723r0, A POOPY UPON YOU!
[09:41] <r00723r0> rockets: i see
[09:41] <faileas> Parisi: XP fixes up the vista partiton when it boots
[09:41] <_tux> mactimes, is build-essential installed for the gcc compiler
[09:41] <faileas> i triple boot too ;p

[09:41] <Parisi> Prince Ya, i would not suggest he shrinks his Vista NTFS partition, i would not do that myself.
[09:41] <r00723r0> mycroes: why'd you stop frequenting init?
[09:41] <Aishiko_> if lspci give you ni\othing but a second prompt what does that mean? even if you are using hte -n modifier?
[09:41] <unimatrix9> hi there, where could i get some help on launchpad and translations?
[09:41] <rockets> gnite all
[09:42] <mactimes_> _tux: How do I check it?  I guess it is.  A friend helped me set the environment up, but I'm not sure...
[09:42] <Parisi> I would suggest that he works the partitions first then follow up with a fresh vista install then a Ubuntu fresh install on the secondary partition, thatw ould work great.
[09:42] <_tux> mactimes, type: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" inside a terminal without the quotes
[09:42] <Prince> r00723r0, meh I'm dumping my vista partition and installing XP for my games, Vista makes the tortoise look slow in the race of the hare and the tortoise, and the tortoise won
[09:43] <r00723r0> Prince: eh?
[09:43] <Parisi> faileas I see.
[09:43] <Prince> r00723r0, in otherwards molasses runs faster then vista
[09:43] <_tux> usually when compiling some extra files need to be installed to fix the issue and sometimes when using make install or make you need to root to finish the installation
[09:43] <faileas> Parisi, Zara_thrustra : actually i recommend moving the recovery partition to optical media first, then doing anything.
[09:43] <unimatrix9> thats because the hare fell aspleep
[09:43] <mactimes> _tux: Installing now =)
[09:43] <Parisi> Prince, youre too negative : )
[09:43] <r00723r0> Prince: well, they obviously don't want me talking about vista here
[09:43] <r00723r0> so i can't really agree
[09:44] <_tux> ;-)
[09:44] <Parisi> faileas recovery what?
[09:44] <mactimes> _tux: Let me see if it works now...
[09:44] <_tux> Will be waiting
[09:44] <Parisi> I would just wipe EVERYTHING off the HD in his shoes.
[09:44] <faileas> Parisi: laptop recovery partitions? they don't play nice with grub ;)
[09:44] <Prince> Parisi, I've been running it since its release..........want me to share my frustartions....you'll need to bring your sleeping bag
[09:44] <Prince> :)
[09:44] <Aishiko_> night rockets thanks for hte help
[09:44] <Parisi> faileas, ya i wipe those too :)
[09:44] <faileas> Parisi: true, IF he has media
[09:44] <r00723r0> Prince: he might warn #ubuntu to ignore you, watch out
[09:45] <mactimes> _tux: =( Still the same problem.  libesmtp is a lib I downloaded and installed, followed step-by-step the author's instructions....
[09:45] <Parisi> Prince, hehe.
[09:45] <Prince> r00723r0, I'm not worried
[09:45] <r00723r0> Prince: :)
[09:45] <Wess> ubotu, does this wubi really works??
[09:45] <mactimes> _tux: I made a search for the shared lib and I could find it.
[09:45] <gnomefreak> Wess: ubotu is a bot
[09:45] <Prince> there's over a billion IP's to choose from
[09:45] <mactimes> _tux: But the program doesn't when it runs....
[09:46] <_tux> you could find it or couldn't find it
[09:46] <Parisi> faileas Acer has provided me Vista cd's go figure.
[09:46] <tehk> Anyone have an issue with the pc not shutting down?
[09:46] <zombie_monkey> where do I manually blacklist a module? the file that's just "blacklist"?
[09:46] <mactimes> _tux: sudo find / -name libesmtp.so.5    |    /usr/local/lib/libesmtp.so.5
[09:46] <Prince> Acer provide cd's, lmao
[09:46] <Parisi> heh, its true, i have proof.
[09:47] <mactimes> _tux: Yes, I could. =)
[09:47] <saispo> anyone known how can i force the rate on a wifi card ?
[09:47] <Aishiko_> are Acers decent laptops?
[09:47] <Prince> Parisi, wow I'm amazed
[09:47] <Parisi> Aishiko, if want cheap stuff.
[09:47] <amidaniel> Good lord, Acer's trying to make everything these days.
[09:47] <goodtod> is there any way i can stop make-kpkg from prompting me about .config file changes?
[09:47] <mactimes> _tux: But when I run the program, it says it can't find the shared lib.
[09:47] <Slart> Aishiko_: I have one next to me.. it was pretty cheap and hasn't given me any trouble so far
[09:47] <Parisi> Acer is certainly better then Toshiba's for what you pay for.
[09:48] <dras> Anyone know if theres a setting in GNOME to make it switch virtual desktops when the mouse is at the edge of the screen ? ?
[09:48] <susanaq> newbie monkeY;  try /etc/modprobe.d/blaclist....
[09:48] <_tux> mactimes, did the program require extra dependencies when you installed it
[09:48] <Prince> dras...hmm
[09:48] <mactimes> _tux: Nope
[09:48] <Prince> dras....I would like to know that too
[09:48] <_tux> mactimes, by the way what's the programs name
[09:48] <Slart> dras: I might be thinking of beryl now but I seem to remember something about desktopedges and switching..
[09:48] <Aishiko_> I'm looking for a decent laptop that is cheap, has an AMD CPU and a Nivida video chipset.
[09:48] <mactimes> _tux: It is a cgi I'm writting to mail some web forms
[09:49] <zombie_monkey> sasanaq: yes, that's what I'm asking, should I use the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file of one of the balcklist-something onews
[09:49] <Parisi> That nice thing is that i can do a clean install of Vista with the cd's provided by Acer, probably on any PC.
[09:49] <mactimes> _tux: The lib is libesmtp
[09:49] <zombie_monkey> does it matter
[09:49] <Slart> dras: yes.. I think it was beryl.. sorry
[09:49] <Prince> I'm looking for a Rugged laptop that uses ati or nvidia gfx chipset
[09:49] <dras> Damn
[09:49] <Aishiko_> is it Acer.com?
[09:49] <mactimes> _tux: http://www.stafford.uklinux.net/libesmtp/
[09:49] <Parisi> Aishiko, Most people would recommend you a Dell, i dont know, i am not a big fan of PC laptops.
[09:50] <Prince> desktops I build my own, laptops well thats a different ballgame all together
[09:50] <susanaq> yes.. use /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist  (look inside the file and see)
[09:50] <sjoerd> for a desktop either go for a thinkpad or a mac
[09:50] <sjoerd> s/desktop/laptop
[09:50] <Aishiko_> parisi I'm soon going to be commuting a long distance, and could have several hours between classes at that point a decent laptop would make life alot more bareable
[09:50] <Parisi> Aishiko, I know alot of people like the IBM's, your best bet would be to try them for yourself, and compare specs.
[09:50] <susanaq> i am also a newbie!!
[09:50] <_tux> seems the library requires a dependencie before it can be installed
[09:51] <Parisi> Aishiko, What is your budget?
[09:51] <_tux> libESMTP uses dlsym() (part of SUSv2/3 and IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 aka Posix) to load plugins. If your platform does not supply dlsym(), you must install libltdl before configuring libESMTP
[09:51] <Aishiko_> and I built my last 7 desktops and my mom's last 2
[09:51] <susanaq> i am also a newbie!!  but I have added lines there and it worked for me
[09:51] <mactimes> _tux: Nonono. It is already Installed.  I'm now trying to create a program using it.
[09:51] <Parisi> Prince, Rugged? IBM ?
[09:51] <mactimes> _tux: There are no issues when compiling it either.
[09:51] <Parisi> But or Lenovo or whatever theyre called these days.
[09:51] <mactimes> _tux: The problem happens when I try to run the program.
[09:51] <faileas> Parisi: well the current ones are still ok
[09:51] <Aishiko_> Parisi not alot it's what's left over from my FA after paying for books and classes this semester I'd say 500-700
[09:52] <_tux> could be a programmers error maybe? or compiling error ;-)
[09:52] <astro76> Prince, yeah if you want rugged you want a Thinkpad
[09:52] <faileas> main thing for IBM is the service <2
[09:52] <_tux> tried an older version of the program?
[09:52] <mactimes> _tux: Like I said, the program compiles fine.
[09:52] <susanaq> -- I need a little help with ubuntu 7.04 !! please help me.
[09:52] <susanaq> -- whenever I ssue a command involving opening a window, I have to wait EXACTLY 20 seconds before the window is opened.  Inside the window things work as normal. It is as if some setting were wrong,  and has to wait for a time out.
[09:52] <susanaq> -- for example: date;  xterm -e "eecho hello"; date
[09:52] <susanaq> -- How can I get an idea of what might be wrong? it has to be the X server, is it xorg?  This started after I changed the name of "hostname", but I don't know what to do . Restoring the old name did not help. Should I reinstall ubuntu?
[09:52] <susanaq> ~
[09:53] <mactimes> _tux: But when I run it, it says it cannot find the shared library.
[09:53] <_tux> seems I haven't a clue on the issue :-(
[09:53] <mactimes> _tux: Anyways, I appreciate your help!  Thank you very much for your time |(^_^)|
[09:53] <Parisi> Aishiko, I would probably look into Dell's, i hear HP are OK, but i personally cant stand them, $500-700 is not a whole lot for a nice laptop, what size factor?
[09:54] <Aishiko_> but if I get this keyboard fixed..... I'll still want a better video output
[09:54] <_tux> welcome mactimes
[09:55] <Aishiko_> Parisi, I've looked at dells and they only have AMD/ATI or Intel/Nivida laptops and either way I get stuck with either Intel or those annoying ATIs
[09:55] <Parisi> Aishiko I bought an Acer recently for $450, but i didnt like a few things so i returned it, (mostly weak audio from speaker/soundcard) it was still decent at that price range.
[09:55] <_tux> gui_ulist_show_hosts
[09:55] <_tux> oops
[09:55] <Aishiko_> size factor is not an issue with me it doesn't really nmater
[09:56] <manjula> ok
[09:56] <Parisi> Aishiko, I understand your frustration, not an apple fan?
[09:57] <susanaq> please help me!
[09:57] <susanaq> I need some ideas
[09:57] <GNine> i like toshibas
[09:57] <Aishiko_> Parisi, not at all, single mouse button and I had to use the coloured gum-drop ones for my time at the Paper
[09:57] <nosklo> susanaq: it seems related with the hostname change somehow
[09:57] <Parisi> If you want a budget laptop Bestbuy/Circuit city as some decent specials for the week, and dell if you throw some coupons at it.
[09:57] <Parisi> But keep in mind, you get what you pay for.
[09:57] <nosklo> susanaq: try looking at /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname
[09:58] <Parisi> Just go in store and play with them.
[09:58] <GNine> dell has been throwing ubuntu in their production machines lately
[09:58] <_tux> lol Parisi
[09:58] <Parisi> Toshibas on that range are cheap sh*t, no offense.
[09:58] <susanaq> nosklo: will try  those fiels. I thought about incorrect display nae
[09:58] <Parisi> Thats my opinion :)
[09:58] <_tux> Dell + Ubuntu = improved hardware support
[09:59] <Parisi> You could get a 14'' dual core amd from Acer for under $499 on sale at BB.
[09:59] <Aishiko_> Parisi, that won't help me much, I'm going to boot it up with "killdisk" before I do anything so playing with shista isn't going to tell me much and I doubt they'd let me run killdisk or a liveCD to see if all the hardware is detected
[09:59] <Parisi> Loaded with 1 gig RAM, thats plenty for Ubuntu.
[10:00] <Aishiko_> yes it is.
[10:00] <Balachmar> Hi, my laptop is overheating in Linux, but not in windows. In linux my cpufan doesn't work
[10:00] <Balachmar> I fear it has something to do with kernel support for my mobo, but I am not sure.
[10:00] <Parisi> Aishiko, if you go to the store and bring a CD, they could care less good idea.
[10:00] <Aishiko_> hmm I thought cpufans were controled by the bios
[10:01] <GNine> dual core at 1.8ghz.. blah
[10:01] <Balachmar> I thought so too, but the computer has been checked and everything works fine, at least under windows
[10:01] <Parisi> Aishiko If could also buy and return it, but they give you a 14 day, and you can only exchange it for a different laptop otherwise you are looking at a %15 restocking fee.
[10:01] <susanaq> nosklo:   you were wright!!! /etc/hosts had kept the old name for localhost ...  MANY thanks!!
[10:01] <GNine> if ur lucky
[10:01] <Balachmar> So basically I think that somehow ACPI does something weird.
[10:02] <Aishiko_> soo take Knoppix and Ubuntu Live CDs and see what happens, when I boot into them... hmmmmm I wonder if my local store has gotten people tha tknow as much as I do in the computer department
[10:02] <susanaq> nosklo: the problem is solved!!
[10:02] <Wrench> hello
[10:02] <Parisi> Aishiko, I do not think so, thats a good idea.
[10:02] <Wrench> any girls out here?
[10:02] <decay> lol?
[10:02] <Aishiko_> parisi once the school gioves over rhe extra money (which won't be until september)
[10:03] <Parisi> Aishiko, But you can get evrything to run under Linux anyways.
[10:03] <susanaq> yes!! me!
[10:03] <gnomefreak> Wrench: please dont troll in here
[10:03] <Aishiko_> me I'm a girl
[10:03] <decay> who looks for girl in the ubuntu irc channel
[10:03] <faileas> Wrench: this is the internet. where men are men, women are men, and little girls are FBI agents
[10:03] <_tux> lol
[10:03] <susanaq> yes!! me! I am at  Smith  COllege
[10:03] <Parisi> Heh.
[10:03] <Wrench> susan private nmessage me
[10:03] <decay> aka gender-confused?
[10:03] <Parisi> And young girls are old perverted man?
[10:03] <Parisi> men*
[10:03] <decay> true story
[10:04] <JC_Denton_> that should answer your question, Wrench. Plenty of people pretending to be females in here.
[10:04] <gnomefreak> ar Wrench dont troll
[10:04] <decay> \me test
[10:04] <decay> did that work?
[10:04] <decay> \say hello
[10:04] <faileas> decay: naw that was my ex, but thats another story
[10:04] <decay> lol?
[10:04] <faileas> decay: its /me
[10:04] <decay> thank you
[10:04] <decay> installing counterstrike source now. anyone tried it on ubuntu before?
[10:05] <decay> hopefully itll run smooth
[10:05] <Parisi> Aishiko, The only laptop i ever really liked was a 12'' Powerbook, :)
[10:05] <P0ldy> decay: yeah, it installs and plays but I got about half the fps I did on windows
[10:05] <goodtod> does anybody know how to make make-kpkg not write over my .config?
[10:05] <decay> P0ldy, i get about 200fps in win, do 100 should still be fine
[10:05] <susanaq> Wrench: private messages are not allowed by this server... I tried
[10:05] <JC_Denton_> decay - got bf1942, cod, AA  to work but not flashpoint (well) or raven shield
[10:05] <decay> JC_Denton_, hezus
[10:05] <Aishiko_> Parisi the only laptop I've ever had was given to me to fix and then the owner decided that it was time to upgrade and I got it
[10:05] <decay> does bf runw ell?
[10:05] <Balachmar> where can I find a list with kernel options?
[10:05] <P0ldy> decay: wow, I guess I'm behind on the hardware, lol.  I get 70 in win
[10:05] <decay> i might install it too
[10:05] <decay> P0ldy, lol :D
[10:06] <Aishiko_> but at least all the hardware is detected by FF
[10:06] <JC_Denton_> decay - had some problems at first with cedega but using an older engine solved it. worked perfectly
[10:06] <decay> if bf2142 and cs:s run smoothly here, i have no reason to use windows
[10:06] <decay> i only use it for gaming
[10:06] <JC_Denton_> decay note - 1942
[10:06] <decay> JC_Denton_, youre using cedega?
[10:06] <JC_Denton_> decay , yes
[10:06] <decay> oh
[10:06] <Aishiko_> just needs a new keyboard now and maybe a new or spare battery
[10:06] <gnuskool> decay, windows is doomed the day linux can play cs
[10:07] <decay> i am following these steps:
[10:07] <JC_Denton_> I have no reason to use winblows once VS05 is supported by wine but that will be a long way off
[10:07] <decay> http://www.cstrike-planet.com/tutorial/1/5
[10:07] <decay> gnuskool, and WoW too i suppose.
[10:07] <gnuskool> yeah, reckon
[10:07] <Parisi> Aishiko,  :) so you should be alright with a budget laptop, just be ready to spend at least $600, and that should give you a dual processor 1 gig ram, and a fairly decent screen.
[10:08] <decay> whats vs05?
[10:08] <_tux> Have a good nite guys I'm off.
[10:08] <susanaq> Whrench:   have to go... i am in massachusetts an d it is late here.... see you later
[10:08] <JC_Denton_> decay Visual Studio 05
[10:08] <devinbhullar> h ianyone used vm ware server in ubuntu
[10:08] <decay> I dont know though. Something about the linux gui...doesn't seem as..."crispy/sharp" as window's. =/
[10:08] <decay> JC_Denton_, oh.

[10:09] <ubotu> devinbhullar: 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?
[10:09] <JC_Denton_> decay , if u want a nice GUI, go MAC

[10:09] <AnAnt> Hello, is there a subversion client that integrates with konqueror ?
[10:09] <devinbhullar> data store varianle
[10:09] <Aishiko_> parisi I'll remeber that I'm thinking the HDD will get pulled shortly after purchace to put a 7200RPM drive in since most come with a 5400 or more rarely these days a 4200
[10:09] <bayziders> How do you update the menus in Fluxbox?
[10:09] <gnomefreak> AnAnt: did you ask in #kubuntu?
[10:09] <decay> AnAnt, what do you mean? you wanna use konqueror?
[10:09] <AnAnt> decay: yes
[10:09] <decay> bayziders, #fluxbox
[10:09] <devinbhullar>  <datastore_path description="The absolute path to the parent directory, where all HoneyClient VM data is stored on the host server.  It is assumed that individual VM data is stored in separate subdirectories within this parent directory." default="/vm">                 /vm/clones
[10:09] <decay> AnAnt, why not just install it?
[10:09] <AnAnt> gnomefreak: yes, no answer
[10:09] <devinbhullar> what shoud i set here
[10:10] <susanaq> bye and many thanks for the help !!
[10:10] <decay> bye
[10:10] <gnomefreak> AnAnt: last time i checked there isnt a subversion-gnome or kde package so it should work
[10:10] <decay> AnAnt, in case you didnt know, you can install Kubuntu, and choose between ubuntu and kubuntu on startup
[10:10] <decay> as well as fluxbox, etc

[10:11] <dooglus> Feisty keeps rebooting over and over after correcting superblock last write time in fsck. Same in recovery mode. I have no live cd or net access other than via gprs. Any idea how I can fix it?
[10:11] <decay> i -wish- ubuntu has the feature xfce does where you right click on a folder and it has "open terminal here"
[10:11] <Parisi> Aishiko I would not worry much, the dual processor and extra ram should make up for it whatever comes default, i would take more RAM and a faster CPU over that any days.
[10:11] <decay> a school of baby dolphin will be born the day that happens
[10:11] <astro76> decay, install nautilus-openterminal
[10:11] <dooglus> Decay install nautilus terminal or some such package.
[10:12] <Aishiko_> dooglus\ no idea s\orry
[10:12] <Slart> decay: there's a program that let's you create your own actions for nautilus.. you can easily do that
[10:12] <astro76> decay, sorry, install nautilus-open-terminal
[10:12] <m0u5e> anyone one know why possibly whenever my system gksu s a gui application (like synaptic) and the screen lowers contrast and pops up the pw dialog, my system crashes? I'm running xubuntu feisty w/ compiz-fusion (although i didnt have this problem for a while until recently)
[10:12] <decay> astro76, dooglus but i love the xfce-terminal though
[10:12] <Parisi> Aishiko, but yeah, thats a good upgrade too i would think.
[10:12] <ritzcracker> Hi everyone. any got a minute I am having big problems with qmail and vpopmail
[10:12] <m0u5e> m0u5e: err more like X crashes 6_6;
[10:13] <Aishiko_> Parisi as far I'm concerned every little bit helps, since I tend to be a power user

[10:13] <Parisi> Aishiko I hear you, i have 3 gigs of ram on my desktop :)

[10:14] <Aishiko_> LOL my desktop maxed out at 1 gig of ECC and buffered RAM (which is all it coul support)

[10:15] <decay> Slart,  thanks
[10:15] <blkorpheus> are the repos down?
[10:16] <decay> Slart, how do i start it up?
[10:16] <Aishiko_> thank you Parisi
[10:16] <Slart> decay: check in the admin-menu.. there should be a nautilus actions configuration
[10:16] <DerangedDingo> can anyone help me install Java for Firefox?
[10:16] <Parisi> Aishiko_ Thats what i am here for.
[10:16] <kkkklee> DerangedDingo:what is wrong?
[10:17] <astro76> DerangedDingo, installed sun-java6-plugin ? (or sun-java5-plugin)
[10:17] <Aishiko_> :) once I get Ubuntu working and I know more I'll hang around giving out more help
[10:17] <Slart> decay: sorry.. preferences.. not administration
[10:17] <robert_> anybody ever gotten a 413 when trying to change CUPS settings via the web interface?
[10:18] <decay> Slart, i love you? lol thanks man.
[10:18] <DerangedDingo> thanks astro76
[10:18] <decay> i actually used to use xubuntu back in the days because of that feature
[10:18] <decay> i used to hate typing long paths in terminal
[10:18] <Aishiko_> now to do my Cal 2 homework
[10:18] <verrlara> Hi. In  the live CD boot menu. If I just want to visit the live cd do I still press Start or install button or the safe graphic button?
[10:18] <robert_> er
[10:18] <robert_> duh
[10:19] <decay> Aishiko, do my stats too while at it
[10:19] <DerangedDingo> I had tried to install it previously with an executable .bin from the sun's website... but apparently that didn't work
[10:19] <Slart> decay: hehe.. you're welcome.. now when you mentioned it I might have to do a "open terminal here" action too.. just never thought about it until you asked =)
[10:19] <decay> Slart, =)
[10:19] <Aishiko_> decay I've not done stats yet\
[10:19] <decay> Aishiko, =(
[10:20] <Parisi> Aishiko How old are you?
[10:21] <haker> HALLLLLOOOOOOOOOO
[10:21] <LT1Caprice57L> sup
[10:21] <haker> HAHAHAHA
[10:21] <LT1Caprice57L> this could, quite possibly, be the busiest chat room I've ever been in.
[10:22] <GNine> possibly so
[10:22] <LT1Caprice57L> 1047 users.  damn, yo
[10:22] <DerangedDingo> it get's busier during afternoon hours
[10:22] <DerangedDingo> well
[10:22] <Aishiko_> this\ hard I've forgotten alot of my algera in the las\t, well lets say it's been awhile
[10:22] <amidaniel> It's definitely up there on the list of busy rooms
[10:22] <DerangedDingo> it may be afternoon for some here
[10:22] <LT1Caprice57L> heh
[10:22] <decay> Slart, can't get it to work =[
[10:22] <LT1Caprice57L> 3:20am here
[10:23] <decay> 4:30 here
[10:23] <LT1Caprice57L> can't get what to work?
[10:23] <DerangedDingo> yeah, 1:20a here
[10:23] <LT1Caprice57L> not that I could help, because I'm a ham-fisted novice to linux myself
[10:23] <Slart> decay: huh?
[10:23] <decay> have to be up sooooon. theres 1 24" monitor left at bestbuy for $5400. gotta be there early to get it
[10:23] <Parisi> wtf
[10:23] <saispo> pidgin under gutsy have lost the icon in the notification bar ?
[10:23] <decay> Slart, i can't get it to work. I think i did everything here properly, but dont see the menu
[10:23] <ritzcracker> ugh
[10:23] <ritzcracker> 5400?
[10:23] <ritzcracker> thats expensive for a 24 inch
[10:23] <Slart> decay: you just create an action etc etc.. perhaps restart nautilus?
[10:23] <LT1Caprice57L> yeah
[10:24] <robert_> ARtge$yg$e%y ^$E56
[10:24] <robert_> okay
[10:24] <robert_> this is REALLY retarted
[10:24] <decay> Slart, yes ill try restarting. not now though, installing a game. thanks though
[10:24] <LT1Caprice57L> and what's 'this'
[10:24] <aalib> hello
[10:24] <LT1Caprice57L> sup aalib
[10:24] <Slart> saispo: checked in #ubuntu+1 ? that's where the gutsy guys hang out =)
[10:24] <saispo> Slart: thanks :)
[10:25] <WeeJeWe1> where could i find the settings file compiz made?
[10:25] <robert_> the cupsconf "enter user password" dialog isn't letting me auth with my user password
[10:25] <Slart> decay: I just meant restarting nautilus.. not the entire machine.. pkill nautilus or something.. I think it restarts automagically
[10:25] <robert_> cupsdconf*
[10:25] <GNine> $5400 is ridiculous for any monitor type
[10:25] <robert_> it just let me in a moment ago
[10:25] <LT1Caprice57L> hah, yeah
[10:25] <Parisi> GNine No shit.
[10:25] <GNine> of course.. i need to know if you talkin dollars here
[10:25] <LT1Caprice57L> shit, I paid less than half that for my CAR
[10:26] <decay> Slart, wont that kill the terminal that is currently downloading the game
[10:26] <DerangedDingo> WeeJeWe1: That would be somewhere in ~/.gconfd/apps/compiz
[10:26] <WeeJeWe1> thanks
[10:26] <Slart> decay: hmm.. I don't think so.. but I'm not sure.. perhaps it's better to wait for it to finish
[10:26] <Parisi> You can get a nice plasma for $5400
[10:26] <decay> Slart, agreed.
[10:26] <LT1Caprice57L> heh
[10:27] <DerangedDingo> WeeJeWe1: You can manually edit a lot of values more easily just by starting GConf-Editor (run "gconf-editor" than you could by hacking at XML's with a text editor
[10:27] <WeeJeWe1> i just need to reset them
[10:27] <robert_> DAMNIT TO HELL I hate cupsdconf
[10:27] <decay> Night all.
[10:27] <LT1Caprice57L> lol
[10:27] <LT1Caprice57L> yeah, what decay says
[10:27] <LT1Caprice57L> bout that time for me
[10:27] <LT1Caprice57L> later
[10:27] <arooni__> folks: where do i want to put statements like this: export PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin
[10:28] <arooni__> so that they run everytime i log in?
[10:28] <underdog5004> why won't this crontab entry work? it works when I manually run the script:  27 01 * * mon sh /home/matthew/.btbackup.sh
[10:28] <arooni__> or rather; how this can permanetly be done
[10:28] <ritzcracker> can anyone explain to me what a catch all domain name is
[10:28] <ritzcracker> for qmail/vpopmail
[10:28] <underdog5004> arooni_, .bashrc
[10:28] <astro76> arooni__, put it in ~/.profile
[10:29] <astro76> arooni__, .bashrc will work, but _only_ in bash, if you notice, there's already some path stuff in .profile
[10:29] <arooni__> astro76, so thats where i modify path var?  theres no global place i can do it
[10:29] <astro76> arooni__, for all users you can use /etc/profile
[10:30] <underdog5004> have I mistaken the syntax for that crontab entry?
[10:32] <underdog5004> I realise that everyone here is a volunteer, etc, but will someone at least acknowledge my question?
[10:32] <astro76> underdog5004, if people don't know they will not answer
[10:32] <astro76> underdog5004, so you want it to run at 01:27 every day?
[10:32] <robert_> is this a G-rated channel?
[10:33] <astro76> !language
[10:33] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:33] <astro76> :)
[10:33] <underdog5004> aSt3raL, only monday
[10:33] <underdog5004> hence the mon
[10:33] <robert_> g'ah
[10:33] <robert_> I need to fire off at someone :P
[10:33] <gcostello> underdog5004: you don' need the sh
[10:33] <astro76> underdog5004, does "mon" even work? you can use 1 instead
[10:34] <robert_> I HATE CUPS
[10:34] <robert_> CUPS CAN DIE
[10:35] <underdog5004> thank you
[10:35] <amidaniel> What's the matter with cups?
[10:35] <underdog5004> it's a shell script though...don't I need the sh
[10:35] <underdog5004> ?
[10:35] <Moniker42> can an ubuntu image be burned to a dvd and still be bootable?
[10:35] <robert_> the web interface won't shut up about 'Request entity too large'
[10:35] <faileas> Moniker42: yes'
[10:35] <robert_> EVERY time I try to POST something to it's web interface, it keeps doing that
[10:36] <robert_> it's making me want to break mirrors and smash glass with my bare hands
[10:36] <robert_> I can't even save changes to the config file
[10:36] <amidaniel> underdog5004: Extensions don't exist in unix
[10:37] <amidaniel> robert_: Hmm .. never worked with its web interface before
[10:37] <robert_> g'ah
[10:37] <underdog5004> I know, but it's easier to remember, also, I need to type in sh when I run it manually. Why don't I need it in my crontab?
[10:37] <Moniker42> faileas, thanks
[10:37] <Moniker42> faileas, bit of a waste... but i don't have any blank cds ;)
[10:38] <faileas> Moniker42: funny thing... but the reason i know is the VERY same thing happened to me
[10:38] <underdog5004>  37 01 * * 1 /home/matthew/.btbackup.sh fails to run
[10:38] <underdog5004> should I put in my username?
[10:39] <amidaniel> underdog5004: chmod +x ~/.btbackup.sh; ~/.btbackup.sh
[10:39] <underdog5004> I've already chmod +x 'ed it
[10:39] <wolfsong> anyone had any luck configuring linksys wireless cards?
[10:40] <wolfsong> using WPA
[10:40] <robert_> hm
[10:40] <Jamesinator> When I attempt to create a symlinked file I get this output:
[10:40] <Jamesinator> sudo link /home/james/Applications/ Appy
[10:40] <Jamesinator> link: cannot create link `Appy' to `/home/james/Applications/': Operation not permitted
[10:41] <faileas> wolfsong: never had any luck configureing WPA on ANYTHING
[10:41] <Jamesinator> Ah, crap, sorry for flood
[10:41] <underdog5004> amidaniel, when I run it manually, it works nicely, if slowly
[10:41] <wolfsong> :-(
[10:41] <underdog5004> amidaniel, bzip compression is crazy!
[10:41] <astro76> Jamesinator, you want 'ln -s' instead of link
[10:41] <Jamesinator> wolfsong: Are you trying to configure WPA on an RT or Ralink chipset?
[10:41] <Jamesinator> astro76: Thanks, I'll try that
[10:41] <wolfsong> there seem to be several posts on where people have gotten it to work
[10:42] <wolfsong> Jamesinator: broadcom
[10:42] <d4rkmonkey> Gah. I did something stupid :(
[10:42] <Jamesinator> wolfsong: Ah, sorry, I've only had experience with configuring WPA on RT cards... They seem to be the buggiest with WPA support.
[10:42] <robert_> seems like cups isn't restarted yet
[10:42] <Jamesinator> astro76: Worked like a charm, thanks!
[10:42] <robert_> okay
[10:42] <robert_> that's done
[10:42] <underdog5004> Jamesinator, I don't know, mine works nicely
[10:42] <faileas> Jamesinator: ralink?
[10:43] <underdog5004> Jamesinator, it's an ralink 2500, I think
[10:43] <robert_> ah
[10:43] <Balachmar> Hi can anyone help me fixing that my laptop won't shutdown because of overheating
[10:43] <Balachmar> I have read something about /proc/acpi/thermal_zone, but mine is empty and as far as I know it should contain some files...
[10:43] <arooni__> how do i get: libboost-date-time1.33.1
[10:43] <arooni__> i.e. how do i get all of libbost stuff
[10:44] <Jamesinator> underdog5004: Yes, I think I had an rt2500 (ralink) as well
[10:44] <Jamesinator> faileas: Yes
[10:44] <Jamesinator> underdog5004: faileas: I already got it working with WPA though
[10:44] <d4rkmonkey> I tried to run sudo tasksel remove lamp-server and it uninstalled a LOT of things that it shouldn't have, like ubuntu-desktop. Anyone know how I can fix this other than a clean install?
[10:44] <Flankk> I'm chrooting into another partition with ubuntu installed.  I'm trying to install grub inside the chrooted environment, but the block devices aren't recognized.  Outside of the chroot I have /dev/hda hdb, etc.  How do I get these to show in the chroot?
[10:44] <Jamesinator> d4rkmonkey: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, isn't it?
[10:45] <underdog5004> Jamesinator, it seems like a solid card to me...I think I had some problems with firmware, but that was it...I'm wired now though...it's faster...lol
[10:45] <faileas> Jamesinator: RT61. hates every OS but vista i've tried ><
[10:45] <Jamesinator> underdog5004: EVERYTHING works with wired. >_>
[10:45] <d4rkmonkey> Jamesinator I don't know what it is, but tasksel said it was removing it.
[10:45] <underdog5004> Some gigabit nics don't
[10:45] <robert_> alright
[10:45] <robert_> it's back to 'omg, I dont want to let you in!'
[10:45] <robert_> I entered my root password
[10:45] <robert_> it doesn't like that
[10:45] <robert_> I entered my user password
[10:45] <robert_> it also doesn't like that
[10:45] <Jamesinator> d4rkmonkey: To my knowledge, ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, meaning it does nothing but depend on other packages so that you can easily install several packages by installing one dummy, or meta, package
[10:46] <Jamesinator> d4rkmonkey: Meaning that removing it doesn't screw with anything
[10:46] <robert_> HELP
[10:46] <Jamesinator> !package ubuntu-desktop
[10:46] <underdog5004> robert_, sudo su
[10:46] <underdog5004> then type in your password
[10:46] <d4rkmonkey> Jamesinator yeah, but that was just an example. It started to try to uninstall Open Office, and a bunch of other things before I stopped it. It removed a bunch of apps.
[10:46] <Flankk> Hello?
[10:46] <underdog5004> that will get you root
[10:46] <arooni> how do i get: libboost-date-time1.33.1
[10:46] <underdog5004> Flankk, what's the problem?
[10:46] <Jamesinator> d4rkmonkey: Ok, well, what exactly is your question then? :P
[10:46] <robert_> that isn't what I'm complaining about
[10:47] <underdog5004> robert_> I entered my user password
[10:47] <underdog5004> * maul^ (n=maul@88.255.77.200) has left #ubuntu ("Ex-Chat")
 it also doesn't like that
[10:47] <Flankk> underdog5004: I'm chrooting into Ubuntu and trying to get the block devices to show up so I can install grub.
[10:47] <d4rkmonkey> Jamesinator how to add everything back like a clean install, without doing a clean install if that makes any sense.
[10:47] <robert_> I'm complaining because I can't get cups to accept the root username/password I give it
[10:47] <Jamesinator> faileas: I'm not surprised, I've had a nightmare with installing ANY ralink or RT chipset cards on Ubuntu.
[10:47] <underdog5004> Flankk, way over my head
[10:47] <robert_> underdog5004, I'm complaining because I can't get cups to accept the root username/password I give it
[10:47] <Jamesinator> d4rkmonkey: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[10:47] <Flankk> Damn, just a bunch of n00bs here.
[10:47] <underdog5004> robert_, oh, ok, sorry
[10:47] <Jamesinator> d4rkmonkey: Just off the top of my head
[10:47] <_Courtney> /who #

[10:51] <Jamesinator> Bah, just another kiddo
[10:51] <robert_> heh
[10:51] <robert_> anyway
[10:51] <robert_> ARGH
[10:51] <robert_> cups hates me
[10:51] <Jamesinator> robert_: What's wrong?
[10:52] <robert_> Jamesinator, it won't accept my root or user passwords when attempting to update CUPS settings via the web interface
[10:52] <Cuzz> Hi, i have a HDD with two partitions. On the first partition (sda1) i installed Ubuntu 7.04 with all the updates. I didn't want to install the Nvidia XFX 8600GT drivers manually because i was afraid that it might not work. I decided to install Ubuntu 7.04 on the second partition (sda3). GRUB is however unable to find the first Ubuntu installation. Any ideas? Please , Thanks!
[10:52] <Jamesinator> robert_: CUPS uses its own user -- I wouldn't expect any other user / password to work with it
[10:53] <robert_> it SAYS on the page to enter root and root's pw, or my user and it's pw
[10:53] <Jamesinator> robert_: Does it give you any error messages or identifying attributes about the problem? :-\
[10:53] <robert_> "If you are asked for a username and password, enter your login username and password or the "root" username and password."
[10:54] <robert_> just "431 Unauthorized."
[10:54] <underdog5004> was I the only one who thought _Courtney had a southern american accent?
[10:55] <robert_> heh
[10:55] <astro76> you mean American South ;)
[10:55] <astro76> maybe
[10:55] <naed> hola
[10:55] <monokrome> The X3 itself has a blue light on when it's plugged into the Xapter. Anyone know if this sounds right?
[10:56] <monokrome> I have an Xapter for my Xecuter3 CE... When I turn it on, the D0 LED blinks once and then is off. There are 3 blue lights on...
[10:56] <robert_> heh
[10:56] <gregorovius> how can I delete folders in my menu? alacarte doesn't seem to have this ability
[10:56] <Jamesinator> robert_: Google returns nothing. I have no idea. Try checking the system log viewer, if you're using GNOME.
[10:56] <vinc> .
[10:57] <astro76> robert_, if you type 'groups', is "lpadmin" listed?
[10:59] <randoman> hey guys, can anyone suggest the a way to add a program to start at bootup, but with out me typing in the root password?
[10:59] <Jamesinator> randoman: No.
[11:00] <gordonjcp> randoman: what exactly are you trying to do?
[11:00] <randoman> i want firestarter to run
[11:00] <gordonjcp> firestarter?
[11:00] <Jamesinator> randoman: Firestarter runs the firewall in the background at startup, but you have to use some special hacks to get the user interface started on boot
[11:01] <Jamesinator> randoman: I can link you to some good posts about doing it if you like
[11:01] <randoman> i just put it in /etc/rc.local
[11:01] <randoman> sure
[11:01] <Jamesinator> gordonjcp: Some of us have network security issues
[11:01] <randoman> I dont have a router right now
[11:01] <gordonjcp> Jamesinator: such as?

[11:02] <Jamesinator> randoman: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_make_the_Firestarter_GUI_start_automatically_at_startup
[11:02] <gordonjcp> randoman: by default you haven't got any ports open
[11:03] <gordonjcp> randoman: a firewall isn't going to improve matters from there, and in fact is just going to be one more thing to fall off and break
[11:03] <randoman> and, i dont need the gui to start. it loads a deamon in the background automaticlly
[11:03] <Jamesinator> randoman: After reading that you can scroll down a bit and do some extra things like making it start without popping up the annoying root password screen every time
[11:03] <randoman> k
[11:03] <Jamesinator> gordonjcp: Has access control occurred to you? If I start a service, I don't necessarily want anyone anywhere to be able to use it.
[11:04] <Jamesinator> gordonjcp: It also has potential for multi user environments by limiting external and internal port access, like blocking IRC ports when 8 year old cousins are around. ;)
[11:05] <wolfsong> do the ubuntu forms allow you to search within a thread?
[11:05] <gordonjcp> Jamesinator: if you start the service, then configure the service correctly
[11:05] <Jamesinator> gordonjcp: Not every service is the same or is configurable with ACL settings. Squid? No problem. Tor? Not so much.
[11:06] <gordonjcp> Jamesinator: use a proper firewall then
[11:06] <Cuzz> Hi, i have a HDD with two partitions. On the first partition (sda1) i installed Ubuntu 7.04 with all the updates. I didn't want to install the Nvidia XFX 8600GT drivers manually because i was afraid that it might not work. I decided to install Ubuntu 7.04 on the second partition (sda3). GRUB is however unable to find the first Ubuntu installation. Any ideas? Please , Thanks!
[11:06] <Jamesinator> gordonjcp: That's an unfair rationalization -- just because it's simple doesn't mean it isn't effective. Firestarter is simply a GUI for iptables rulesets.
[11:07] <gordonjcp> Jamesinator: and therefore broken by design
[11:07] <Jamesinator> gordonjcp: If you have a problem with iptables, then don't use it.
[11:07] <gordonjcp> it's pointless having the firewall rules on the same machine that's running the service
[11:08] <aantn> will Ubuntu run slower off of a fire wire drive than an internal drive?
[11:08] <Jamesinator> gordonjcp: The GUI is designed to be more of a configuration utility, not a service itself
[11:08] <aantn> !seen danya_
[11:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen danya_ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:08] <Jamesinator> gordonjcp: Unless I misunderstood your last message
[11:08] <Cuzz> How can i mount a partition that also has ubuntu on it?
[11:09] <Jamesinator> Cuzz: Mount as you would a partition without Ubuntu on it
[11:09] <Jamesinator> Cuzz: Unless it's the partition with the installation of Ubuntu you're currently using, which won't work for obvious reasons
[11:10] <gordonjcp> Jamesinator: yah, so there's not a lot of point of running firestarter at startup
[11:10] <Lindar> How can I do an ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew using ubuntu? My internet on the other computer just died without warning.
[11:10] <gordonjcp> Jamesinator: 'cos it only configures iptables for you
[11:11] <gordonjcp> Lindar: sudo /etc/init.d/network<something> restart
[11:11] <Jamesinator> gordonjcp: Of course there isn't a lot of point, but I'm in here to help people with their problems, not tell them how to run their box
[11:11] <Lumio> hey is it better to run proftpd as a standalone server or should I run it as a service of inetd?
[11:11] <Lumio> what is better?
[11:11] <gordonjcp> Lindar: use inetd, because then you can use hosts.allow and hosts.deny
[11:11] <Jamesinator> gordonjcp: Although some people use it since it does list diagnostic information like amount of data transmitted and what it considers high-security attacks it's blocked
[11:11] <Cuzz> Thanx
[11:11] <gordonjcp> Lindar: getting the access control we mentioned earlier for free ;-)
[11:11] <gordonjcp> Jamesinator: fair point
[11:12] <tom_> hey guys my flash sound works randomly sometimes (mainly) not at all then all of a sudden it works, any idea why?
[11:12] <gordonjcp> tom_: something else using the sound card?
[11:12] <noosh> hello all
[11:12] <gordonjcp> flash is a bit brain-dead about things like mixing
[11:12] <robert_> okay
[11:12] <robert_> I hate cups
[11:12] <robert_> officially
[11:13] <tom_> gordonjcp: nope, and my sound card has hard ware mixing
[11:13] <robert_> it refuses to let me in
[11:13] <[HUN] Lag-Zik> hi
[11:13] <gordonjcp> tom_: hm, I'm out of ideas then ;-)
[11:13] <noosh> is there a ubuntu package that allows management of multiple wpa2-psk profiles? (ala thinkpad access connections manager)
[11:13] <Lumio> ok i use it with inetd
[11:13] <robert_> hmmm
[11:13] <robert_> oooh
[11:13] <robert_> perfect
[11:13] <kidbuntu> !azureus

[11:15] <Adlai> noosh: try using networkmanager with nm-applet and the gnome keyring
[11:16] <robert_> ugh
[11:16] <robert_> okay
[11:16] <robert_> there must be a cups user
[11:16] <gordonjcp> Lindar: bit pointless running an ftp server then, if you're not online
[11:16] <robert_> otherwise, I'm uninstalling CUPS

[11:20] <Ill> hi all
[11:20] <Ill> can anybody give me some help with setting up a dualboot?
[11:21] <_ergo_> hey guys, i know that i should go to #winehq, but there is no one there now, maybe some of you would know how to set up wine to use national fonts ?

[11:22] <wildchild> hi,  can someone help me with speedstep on a xeon? the reported frequencies are wrong and i need to figure out why
[11:23] <noosh>  Adlai can you point me to a howto for network-manager + nm-applet + keyring?
[11:25] <Cuzz> I have two partitions on a sngle HHD, both with Ubuntu 7.04. Can i boot from the first partition?
[11:27] <d4rkmonkey> Cuzz why do you have 2 partitions with the same OS?
[11:27] <Ill> so my problem is i have a fatal error during install saying the grub cant be installed in  (hd0,1) whereas i have the second primary partition set up for linux....help?(dualboot)
[11:28] <Cuzz> wanted to try and install XFX 8600GT drivers on the second. If it failed i hoped that i would still have a functional Ubuntu
[11:29] <Lindar> Okay, I'm using ndiswrapper with a WG111T
[11:29] <zombie_monkey> is there an easy way to remove everything that locate ndiswrapper finds
[11:29] <Lindar> Right now wlan0 doesn't show up when I iwconfig
[11:30] <Lindar> ...so... how do I force it to show up?
[11:32] <kidbuntu> i'm having a problem with azures in 7.04. i already changed the java alternatives to 6. it shutsdown immediately without me doing anything yet
[11:33] <IndyGunFreak> i've had nothing but probs out of azeurus, try ktorrent or utorrent
[11:33] <Parisi> utorrent is great.
[11:33] <Parisi> nite all
[11:34] <faileas> Parisi: yeah it is
[11:34] <Parisi> In fact im running it right now, and all night.
[11:34] <xukun> I always use Gnome but I installed kde, how can I remove everything of kde?
[11:34] <faileas> Parisi: wonder when the promised port to linux will happen/the mainline client on linux will be moved
[11:34] <faileas> "all night" ?
[11:34] <jonathan_> hi
[11:34] <faileas> i have had one copy running MONTHS ;p
[11:35] <jonathan_> ubuntu server at indonesia error
[11:35] <Parisi> faileas, as in 24/7, i need rest.
[11:35] <IndyGunFreak> faileas: how did you install it?
[11:35] <IndyGunFreak> oops
[11:35] <IndyGunFreak> xukun: how did you install it.
[11:35] <faileas> IndyGunFreak: i think it works on wine
[11:35] <faileas> ;p
[11:35] <Parisi> faileas, I port would be nice, i thought there was one already.
[11:35] <faileas> Parisi: beta i think
[11:36] <zombie_monkey> so "locate ndiswrapper" outputs a long list fo files; how do I remove all of them?
[11:36] <AndrewB> xukun: try sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop  and sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop  that will get rid of the most of KDE
[11:36] <jonathan_> hm..., somebody help me with this
[11:36] <jonathan_> ubuntu indika.net.id get errors somehow...
[11:36] <Parisi> faileas, That wonderful, now all i need is mIRC and MSN Messenger :) j/k
[11:36] <AndrewB> jonathan_: what is the error message?
[11:36] <IndyGunFreak> AndrewB: actually that depends, if he used apt-get to install KDE, then sudo aptitude remove kde, will work.
[11:36] <IndyGunFreak> if he used apt-get to install it, he'll have to remove each package individually
[11:37] <faileas> Parisi: MIRC sucks. MSNIM is getting more and more bloated ;)

[11:37] <kidbuntu> IndyGunFreak. is there an exclusive utorrent for ubuntu which i dont need to use wine anymore?
[11:37] <faileas> kidbuntu: no
[11:37] <faileas> there are torrent CLIENTS on ubuntu though
[11:38] <zombie_monkey> not "locate ndiswrapper | rm" I suppose :)
[11:38] <AndrewB> jonathan_: the server may be in the middle of something, try maybe in 15mins?
[11:38] <IndyGunFreak> kidbuntu: don't think so.. but they have a version specifically made for Wine.
[11:38] <jonathan_> last day too
[11:38] <jonathan_> from last dau
[11:38] <jonathan_> day
[11:38] <AndrewB> Oh
[11:38] <IndyGunFreak> oh nevermind, no they dont
[11:38] <jonathan_> try to change the server to indonesia server
[11:38] <jonathan_> ubuntu.indika.net.id
[11:38] <Parisi> faileas, haha, i like the way they look under Vista, eye candy.
[11:38] <Parisi> Ok, nite all for real.
[11:38] <Ill> (hd0,x) does x represent the how many-th primary partition it is?

[11:39] <monokrome> Ill: Yes, but zero based
[11:39] <Cuzz> Has anybody tried to install Nvidia 88** card. Im using this tutorial: http://www.yaroman.net/2007/08/14/howto-install-nvidia-8600gt/   . In step 4 i run sudo sh NV (driver) and i get an error saying "You appear to be running an X server; please exit before installing. How do i exit X. I cant find anything in the Nvidia README.
[11:40] <xukun> AndrewB, bedankt

[11:40] <Cuzz> hehe
[11:40] <elferson> lol
[11:40] <IndyGunFreak> jonathan_: it says what the problem is, it can't connect to those servers
[11:40] <monokrome> Cuzz: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[11:40] <monokrome> then when you want back in
[11:40] <elferson> telninit 3
[11:40] <monokrome> Cuzz: /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:40] <jonathan_> yep
[11:40] <Cuzz> thanx
[11:40] <jonathan_> than?
[11:40] <monokrome> np
[11:41] <monokrome> then
[11:41] <jonathan_> if I changed the server to Taiwan I will get low speed to download the updates and software
[11:41] <IndyGunFreak> jonathan_: my point is, it doesn't look like the problem is on your end, its on theirs, contact the server maintainer.
[11:41] <Ill> 0 based = ?
[11:41] <jonathan_> how?
[11:42] <monokrome> Ill: Starting with zero instead of one.
[11:42] <Ill> oh
[11:42] <Ill> lol

[11:44] <gandalfcome> I recommended ubuntu to a friend of mine: he found out that ubuntu only supports the 386 kernel. is there a way to get the 686 kernel in ubuntu. I went through synaptiuc but couldnt find it. thanks in advance
[11:45] <IndyGunFreak> gandalfcome:  386 and 686 are the same to my knowledge
[11:45] <Adlai> gandalfcome: the 386 kernel is offered as a "generic" option
[11:45] <Adlai> it will run on a processor that supports 686 instructions
[11:45] <IndyGunFreak> other distros offer 686 that also works on 386
[11:45] <gandalfcome> Adlai: so how do I get the 686 version
[11:45] <Adlai> the 386 instruction set is a subset of 686
[11:45] <Adlai> you don't
[11:45] <Adlai> just use the 386 kernel
[11:46] <IndyGunFreak> you don't, exactly
[11:46] <gandalfcome> so ubuntu doesnt support the full 686 kernel instruction set?
[11:46] <Rover_> Any way to get faster screenshots of a java game? :(
[11:46] <gandalfcome> without recompiling the kernel
[11:46] <Adlai> gandalfcome: there really isn't any reason to
[11:46] <IndyGunFreak> sigh.. you didn't notice the name of the iso was, "blablablai386.iso"
[11:47] <Adlai> if you really really care about those few extra instructions, you should be running gentoo or something
[11:47] <gandalfcome> IndyGunFreak: well I did but I thouht later on I could get 686. is there a 686 iso?
[11:47] <IndyGunFreak> no.
[11:47] <IndyGunFreak> only distros i know of with 686 versions, is suse and mandriva, and they both suck... so take your pick.
[11:48] <gandalfcome> Adlai: yes he's running sabayo or something. Well Im happy with ubuntu as it is. He just told me it will be faster with a 686 kernel
[11:48] <IndyGunFreak> i'm sure there's others.
[11:48] <Adlai> gandalfcome: sabayon is based on gentoo (like ubuntu is based on debian)
[11:48] <IndyGunFreak> gandalfcome:  ?..lol,
[11:48] <gandalfcome> IndyGunFreak: what?
[11:48] <Ill> (hdy,x) confused! does x stand for the primary partitions or just any partition?
[11:48] <Adlai> gandalfcome: you are really not going to notice a difference between a 386 kernel and a 686 kernel
[11:48] <IndyGunFreak> its not gonna be faster
[11:49] <Olgem> Wait, I thought there was no difference, just industry terms?
[11:49] <IndyGunFreak> your friend is pretty well full of it.
[11:49] <Lustblade1> hi all
[11:49] <longlongago> hello all!
[11:49] <gandalfcome> well do you guys know what the difference is? I read somewhere i386 supports only 1g of ram?
[11:49] <Lustblade1> that's not true gandalfcome
[11:49] <Adlai> Olgem: they've added a few little instructions here and there, but it's nothing significant for desktop users
[11:49] <faileas> gandalfcome: not true
[11:49] <Olgem> Ill, it stands for any partition, it doesn't explicitly tell you if its a primary or extended
[11:50] <gandalfcome> good thanks
[11:50] <IndyGunFreak> gandalfcome:  i have two gigs of ram, it works fine.
[11:50] <Adlai> it probably helps if you're running some obscure math code or something
[11:50] <Ill> thanx man....that should hopefully solve my prob
[11:50] <Thurin1> ganda, It is the i386 CPU that can only address theoretically 1GB of ram
[11:51] <gandalfcome> I see, ill just google difference 386 and 686 instruction set
[11:54] <Cuzz> Yessss. Nvidia divers work. Thank you! I'm feeling brave, are there any good Beryl tutorials which any of you guys tried and it worked?
[11:55] <d4rkmonkey> !beryl | Cuzz
[11:55] <ubotu> Cuzz: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[11:55] <d4rkmonkey> gah I thought there was a link in that one.
[11:55] <Cuzz> k thanx
[11:56] <gandalfcome> Does anyone know if it is planned for the next versions of ubuntu to include a precompiled 686 in one release? It seems 386 misses simd and mmx which to my knowledge can boost the speed noticeably.
[11:58] <decay> wow
[11:58] <Lustblade1> y wow?
[11:58] <decay> att&t sent me a message about some free text messages
[11:58] <TylerJGillies> whats the difference between gksudo and sudo for running a GUI app?
[11:58] <decay> at 5:40amk
[11:58] <decay> i was sleeping hard
[12:00] <Olgem> TylerJGillies, gksudo prompts you with a graphical app, while sudo prompts you for a password in terminal
[12:00] <TylerJGillies> Olgem: gotcha, thnx
[12:01] <Mez> hmmles, that's annoying... my wireless dongle doenst work, but pretends to work
[12:01] <TylerJGillies> my dongle pretends to work ;)
[12:02] <Lustblade1> isn't that a medical problem??
[12:02] <Mez> TylerJGillies, lol ... well mine will let me configure it, etc etc, but then wont recieve any packets... just send them
[12:03] <elferson> hmm, sure it isn't firewall related?

[12:06] <Lustblade1> hi
[12:07] <patrock> oDesk: what doesn't work? xorg?
[12:07] <bullgard4> English help wanted: [Nautilus]  Klick Name > any filename (right-click)> Properties. There will appear a dialog window with 5 tabs. What is the name of the 5th tab in English? Is it 'Notes' or 'Annotations' or what?
[12:07] <oDesk> patrock: apt-get install 915...
[12:07] <ion> anyone know of a tutorial on howto patch and compile a kernel for ubuntu with the CFS patchset?
[12:08] <ion> I know how to do it with ck's but it doesnt seem to work the same
[12:08] <oDesk> patrock: i just want to install the driver by any mean
[12:08] <Lustblade1> bullgard4: it's called notes
[12:09] <patrock> oDesk, the driver should be included with xorg package
[12:09] <bullgard4> Lustblade1: Thank you.
[12:09] <patrock> oDesk, or maybe the kernel
[12:10] <ion> what is the point of the "lowlatency" kernel?
[12:10] <oDesk> patrock: i'm newbie :) to ubuntu
[12:10] <ion> is it faster than generic?
[12:10] <ion> for desktop use?
[12:11] <oDesk> patrock: if you have good tutorial for it, this will be great
[12:11] <patrock> ion: if you're referreing to the preempt option it supposed to be a bit faster, but it's hardly noticeable
[12:11] <d4rkmonkey> Anyone know what the pacakge xserver-xorg-video-intel-modesetting does?
[12:11] <oDesk> patrock: something i found now  http://yogharp.wordpress.com/2006/12/19/ubuntu-edgy-on-intel-945gm-graphics-wide-screen-lcd-notebooks/
[12:12] <ashwino> hey guys
[12:12] <aantn> hello ashwino
[12:13] <ashwino> I was looking for a ubuntu page link that told which package had a particular file
[12:13] <ashwino> hey aantn :)
[12:13] <patrock> oDesk, the instructions on that page don't work?
[12:13] <vladuz976> hi, my usb ports completely stopped working, doesn't recognize anything anymore. i don't recall changing anything. can anybody help?
[12:14] <oDesk> patrock: i'm trying it
[12:14] <Lustblade1> vladuz976: try restarting
[12:14] <vladuz976> Lustblade1, did
[12:15] <Lustblade1> hmm
[12:15] <DARKGuy> hey guys, I made a shared folder on my PC, choosing to be shared on UNIX filesystems, but I can't see it from the second PC. Should I have used Samba network, or is there something wrong?
[12:15] <bullgard4> ashwino: dpkg -S <filename>
[12:15] <Lustblade1> no idea vladuz976.. a resart usually worked for me
[12:15] <Lustblade1> is it working on other Oses
[12:15] <Lustblade1> ?
[12:15] <vladuz976> Lustblade1, that happened to you, too?
[12:16] <vladuz976> Lustblade1, only have one OS on this
[12:16] <Lustblade1> yeah.. after using a wierd usb device
[12:16] <oDesk> patrock: will restart hopefully it works,, thanks btw
[12:17] <c1|freaky> is there any repository from people who update packages like clamav (clamd) regularly so you you don't have to compile one yourself? because i keep getting erros that my clamav version is outdated on my server
[12:17] <ashwino> bullgard4, thanks
[12:19] <patrock> DARKGuy, smb may be a little easier to get working, I dont know if ubuntu has a gui tool to mount nfs shares
[12:19] <bullgard4> DARKGuy: I can only speak of Samba. I do not know much about the Unix-only file sharing. If you have made a shared folder using Samba and the other PC is using a Samba client, then it should see your shared folder.
[12:20] <DARKGuy> patrock, bullgard4: I did it by right-clicking the folder and choosing Share Folder, then choose Windows Networks (SMB) but when I go to Network in Places, I see nothing
[12:20] <patrock> DARKGuy, try using goto location    server//
[12:21] <DARKGuy> patrock: yeah, I kinda solved it by going to Places -> Connect to Server... and choosing the IP
[12:21] <DARKGuy> *and typing
[12:21] <DARKGuy> weird way of sharing stuff
[12:21] <HaYZaM> i need a video conferencing tool , any suggestions ?
[12:21] <Jeebus> hmm
[12:21] <DARKGuy> HaYZaM: Skype or Ekiga
[12:21] <DARKGuy> Skype better
[12:22] <bjames> I just mounted an iso to my desktop and it appears to have overwritten all my files

[12:22] <Lustblade1> y does every time i type /nick Lustblader .. it comes out as lustblade1

[12:22] <xelfium> DARKGuy skype isn't support video in linux
[12:23] <patrock> bjames, yes use: umount /home/username/Desktop
[12:23] <DARKGuy> xelfium: my bad, dang :(
[12:23] <bjames> it says the device is busy
[12:24] <bjames> I tried that
[12:24] <bjames> :(
[12:24] <bjames> maybe if I restart x?
[12:24] <bjames> or kick out to a console and try it?
[12:25] <patrock> bjames, probably because it's constantly being accessed, least pain way to unmount it is reboot,  or shutdown x and try it
[12:25] <bjames> thought so
[12:25] <bjames> I'll give that a try
[12:25] <bjames> cheers
[12:25] <bjames> will I then get my files back?
[12:26] <patrock> bjames, yes
[12:26] <Alarifes> excuse me, do you know where is the java channel?
[12:26] <d4rkmonkey> Alarifes did you try #java?
[12:27] <Alarifes> no, thanks
[12:27] <Slart> Alarifes: I would guess #java ... have you tried it?
[12:27] <patrock> ##java
[12:27] <Alarifes> I'll try it
[12:30] <HaYZaM> what does this error means "  #asterisk :You need to be identified to join that channel "
[12:30] <Slart> HaYZaM: might be that you need to register your nick
[12:30] <HaYZaM> and how do i register my nickname

[12:33] <sacater> just now when i did sudo apt-get install kde, it complained that some packages couldnt be retrived. Should i do 'fix broken packages' later?
[12:33] <kenthomson> There's a problem with sound in Ubuntu 7.10. I hear no sound in any apps. No songs/music/movies anything. When i turn the volume at full and try to hear really hard i hear a slight hiss, I tried plugging my headphones directly into the sound card but still no sound. I have got onboard sound (and nothing fancy) and have never encountered this problem
[12:33] <sacater> :O
[12:34] <Slart> kenthomson: have you checked *all* the volume controls.. there are quite a few =)
[12:34] <kenthomson> Slart: yes
[12:34] <elferson> kenthomson: if all controls look good, try restarting alsa
[12:34] <kenthomson> elferson: even did sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[12:34] <Slart> kenthomson: no error messages on boot? what kind of soundcard is it?
[12:35] <kenthomson> elferson: still no solution, when alsa is stopped ths slight hiss goes off, again when it starts the hiss is resumed
[12:35] <kenthomson> Slart: no error messages on boot
[12:35] <elferson> kenthomson: what does your /var/log/messages say when you start alsa?
[12:35] <kenthomson> Slart: everything was working since ages
[12:35] <Slart> or rather.. do "cat /proc/asound/cards" or something like that
[12:35] <kenthomson> elferson: Slart: i will have to boot ubuntu for that, could you guys wait a minute and tell me again the commands when i restart?
[12:35] <malkav> how do i restart X? my menubars are all frozen up
[12:36] <Slart> kenthomson: sure, I'll be here
[12:36] <kenthomson> great!
[12:36] <AndrewB> malkav: ctrl+alt+del   or sudo gdm stop  sudo gdm    from a vt
[12:36] <Slart> malkav: ctrl+alt+backspace to restart X..
[12:36] <malkav> k this might bump me off
[12:36] <elferson> malkav: ctrl+alt+F2/F3/etc; telinit 5
[12:36] <Slart> sudo gdm stop? you can do that? have to check...
[12:37] <Slart> ah... now I see.. I've always used the /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[12:38] <Slart> there are also gdm-stop and gdm-restart scripts.. didn't know that
[12:38] <Bo1> hello

[12:45] <d4rkmonkey> Found-zeroG122 I believe its kill -9 <pid>
[12:45] <DARKGuy> or kill -9 `pidof myprogramname`
[12:45] <d4rkmonkey> lol
[12:45] <Slart> Found-zeroG122: but don't just try it.. there are other ways.. pkill or xkill is a bit more friendly

[12:48] <Bo3> slart:yeah
[12:48] <Slart> oDesk: I don't know the specifics of the intel graphics chip but it might be somewhere in one of those links
[12:48] <nox-Hand> Does anyone know of a media centre app that indexes media so one can go, for example:  Music -> Artist -> Album instead of haing to browse folders? I want to hear of it :] 
[12:48] <Slart> nox-Hand: amarok does that for music.. don't know anything for video
[12:49] <neumind`> is it a hacker in her?
[12:49] <neumind`> :- )
[12:49] <Bo3> slart:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35234/plain/
[12:50] <Slart> Bo3: looking
[12:50] <Slart> Bo3: I would chose Yes
[12:50] <kenthomson> i cant connect to irc.freenode.net from ubuntu.
[12:50] <nox-Hand> Slart: Media centre app - not music player (fullscreen)
[12:50] <Slart> nox-Hand: oh.. sorry, my bad
[12:51] <kenthomson> It says connection refused. Both in xchat and GAIM. So i rebooted in to windows. But i will have those logs you were talking about. Which were those?
[12:51] <Slart> !info glpi
[12:51] <ubotu> glpi: IT and Asset management software. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.68.2-1 (feisty), package size 1315 kB, installed size 7624 kB

[12:51] <kenthomson> elferson: Slart: ?
[12:52] <Slart> Bo3: why are you installing glpi?
[12:52] <elferson> yo
[12:52] <kenthomson> elferson: what text file did you require?
[12:52] <Bo3> slart:i dont know what is that you said "yes"
[12:52] <Slart> kenthomson: oh.. can't connect?.. you could do that before? usual wired connection?
[12:52] <elferson> kenthomson: curious as to the output created in logs from alsa start
[12:52] <kenthomson> Slart: yes, internet on. freenode refusing me a connection from ubuntu
[12:53] <kenthomson> elferson: i am new, could you tell me the exact name/location of the file you require to see, please?
[12:53] <oDesk> Slart: i've used the command for restarting res.  but i got blank blank screen and i restarted, with no effect
[12:53] <Slart> Bo3: the program you are installing is called glpi, it needs a database, probably to store things.. you probably chose to install this program, I was just wondering why.
[12:53] <oDesk> blank black*
[12:53] <elferson> kenthomson: np, it's /var/log/messages .. just a sec I'm going to play with ways to isolate alsa output
[12:54] <oDesk> !res | oDesk
[12:54] <kenthomson> Slart: i could connect to IRC before, ubuntu really acts in unfathomable ways. I went to ubuntu to have some tweaking power, now it so happens taht i spend days just finding out whats wrong.
[12:54] <Slart> kenthomson: but you can surf the web? ... never had that happen before.. any error messages?
[12:54] <Bo3> slart:i dont know how i didi this
[12:54] <joseph1110216> anyone know of any packet sniffers for windows or linux, that dont need me to have extra hardware installed such as the linksys wrt54g router or the airpcap adapter.
[12:54] <IndyGunFreak> oDesk: what type of video device, and has your resolution ever been right, or is this a new install
[12:54] <kenthomson> Slart: yes i can surf. No error, it simply said "Connectionr refused irc.freenode.net port 6667" or something like that
[12:54] <kenthomson> Slart: than it again tried connecting, again it was refused and so on and so forth
[12:54] <Slart> oDesk: sorry.. I can't help you with the intel graphics... don't have one myself.. but ask the channel.. there has to be someone who can help you
[12:55] <oDesk> IndyGunFreak: new install it was never been right  Intel 945GM
[12:55] <IndyGunFreak> oDesk: open a terminal, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   take the defaults.
[12:55] <IndyGunFreak> oDesk: you'll have to do that from "safe mode".. or CLI.
[12:56] <Slart> kenthomson: can you ping irc.freenode.net?
[12:56] <nox-Hand> Slart: No worries
[12:56] <oDesk> IndyGunFreak: this will solve my problem ?
[12:56] <kenthomson> elferson: Slart: About the sound proble, when ubuntu loads and the initial bar is 1/4 full the hiss starts and then it remains on forever (when x starts and when i am doing any work) and so no sound is played. Here is that file http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35236/
[12:56] <Slart> Bo3: ok.. so you don't want this program gpli.. then we uninstall it.. "sudo apt-get remove glpi"
[12:56] <kenthomson> Slart: i can ping it
[12:57] <IndyGunFreak> oDesk: it will allow you to reconfigure your xserver, and choose a working resolution.... it should fix your problem

[12:57] <oDesk> IndyGunFreak: i'll try then will be back to confirm
[12:57] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[12:58] <froj1> I know tehre is a bluez channel but I am asking if someone here have Bluetooth headset working out ? And what packages did he or she installed??
[12:58] <Bo3> slart: it give this message E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[12:58] <Odd_Bloke> Hey guys, I've installed a package from source and would like to tell apt that this is the case.
[12:58] <Odd_Bloke> How should I go about doing so?
[12:58] <kenthomson> :(:(:(:(:(
[12:58] <IndyGunFreak> Bo3: i'd run that command then
[12:58] <Slart> Bo3: ok.. run that again and this time chose "No" on that first question
[12:59] <Bo3> slart: i did
[12:59] <Slart> kenthomson, elferson: I didn't see anything about a soundcard in that file.. lemme check again
[12:59] <bullgard4> Is there a tool available to search in texts of Notes or annotations I have made in Nautilus > Names > <filename> (right-click)> [Property of <filename>]  > tab 'Notes'? (This information is stored in ~/.nautilus/metafiles/<directory-name>.xml)
[12:59] <Slart> Bo3: and what happened?
[12:59] <Jordan_U> froj1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSkype
[12:59] <elferson> kenthomson, Slart: me either... checking...
[01:00] <Bo3> slart:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35237/plain/
[01:00] <Slart> kenthomson: I think the "hiss" you're hearing is just electric interference.. I get that too on my onboard sound card
[01:00] <Jordan_U> Bo3, Did you run it as root? ( with sudo ) ?
[01:00] <kenthomson> Slart: elferson: Is there any other file you people would like to see? this is the /var/log/message. My sound card never had any problem. I have got onboard sound on Asus A7V-k400MX Motherboard,
[01:01] <Bo3> jordan_u:i did
[01:01] <kenthomson> Slart: No that is not the case. because 1)I never heard it before, it is really loud. 2)It stops when i stop alsa 2)no other sound can be played on the computer in ubuntu
[01:01] <Slart> Bo3: just type anything bo3@home or whatever
[01:01] <Jordan_U> Bo3, What happened after you entered the needed information?
[01:02] <Slart> kenthomson: hmm.. ok.. when you put it that way I might have to change my mind =)
[01:02] <elferson> kenthomson: how long have you been running hiss-free?
[01:02] <GNine> somebodys freakin out
[01:02] <kenthomson> Slart: no we could get somewhere.
[01:02] <kenthomson> elferson: ages. like 1.5 years. I ran hiss-free in ubuntu 6.10 and in in 7.04 too. Just last week this hiss started. And simulataneously all sound stopped playing. Well, except the system beep
[01:02] <Bo3> slar4:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35238/plain/
[01:03] <elferson> kenthomson: have you tried reinstalling alsa?
[01:03] <grm1> hi. when i plug head speaker in jack port on my laptop. the sound come out from bottom (speaker and head speaker) can you help me
[01:03] <Jordan_U> kenthomson, Do you get an error from speakertest or aplay?
[01:03] <kenthomson> elferson: should i? I am sure i didn't mess with it. But how does one do that?
[01:03] <Slart> Bo3: just type anything... George Bush, Bo3, Arnold the great.. anything
[01:03] <kenthomson> Jordan_U: I don't have the faintest idea what those two are
[01:03] <elferson> kenthomson: something to the effect of "apt-get --remove alsa; apt-get --install alsa"
[01:03] <grm1> hi. when i plug head speaker in jack port on my laptop. the sound come out from speaker and head speaker .can you help me ?
[01:04] <GNine> !sound
[01:04] <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
[01:04] <kenthomson> elferson: i'll have to reboot ubuntu, do that, reboot to window and come in here again. As somehow xchat and gaim can't connect to freenode.net from ubuntu. It says "connection refused"

[01:04] <Jordan_U> kenthomson, They are very basic sound programs that use alsa, using them you can easily rule out problems with the program itself and they usually give good errors if there are any
[01:04] <Slart> kenthomson: this was the output from dmesg? or something else?
[01:05] <kenthomson> Slart: It is /var/log/message
[01:05] <Jordan_U> kenthomson, Are you using tor?
[01:05] <kenthomson> Jordan_U: no
[01:06] <Jordan_U> kenthomson, Is the port that xchat uses blocked? Try using the same port as you use on windows
[01:06] <kenthomson> Slart: if you need any other output tell me.
[01:06] <rodserling> Is this Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813181027 supported by ubuntu? It says me-6000g which I think is supported https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EPIA_ME6000 but it looks outdated
[01:06] <kenthomson> Jordan_U: i don't know anything about blocked ports. But i can surf the web and use p2p in ubuntu
[01:06] <rodserling> I just want to make sure the video and lan and all that works right
[01:07] <Jordan_U> kenthomson, Just try using the same port for xchat in Ubuntu as you use in windows
[01:07] <neumind`> in her is a hacker?
[01:07] <kenthomson> Jordan_U: the point is i get the message that:Connection refused freenode.net port 6667" or something like that?
[01:07] <Slart> kenthomson: try running "lspci" and see if you find anything in there that looks like a soundcard..
[01:08] <Jordan_U> rodserling, Are you going to be using the onboard graphics?
[01:08] <kenthomson> Slart: i am in windows, because ubuntu cant connect to irc.freenode.net. If you need to look at any log/files i can access them
[01:08] <rodserling> Maybe, I was just wonder if it would work
[01:08] <kenthomson> Slart: but i know i dont have a pci sound-card. It is onboard
[01:08] <kenthomson> Slart: and it worked until last weak
[01:08] <kenthomson> Slart: and i dont know anything else
[01:08] <Slart> kenthomson: nah.. you can look at it.. it's only 20 lines or so.. and my on board soundcard is listed in that output
[01:09] <wayoutthere> How can I pass the GCC enviroemtn variable to compile advancemenu? It uses an old version of GCC pre 4.0 I found
[01:09] <kenthomson> Slart: I am in windows, which file do i open to see that sound card thing?
[01:09] <Slart> kenthomson: just to give you an example of what to look for.. here is the line from my computer "00:0e.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)"
[01:09] <Slart> kenthomson: open a terminal and run "lspci"
[01:10] <kenthomson> Slart: i am in windows.
[01:10] <Bo3> slar4:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35240/plain/
[01:11] <Slart> kenthomson: yes, but you can access the linux computer, right?
[01:11] <kenthomson> Slart: this is the same computer. Dual boot.
[01:11] <Jordan_U> rodserling, I don't have much experience personally with S3 graphics, but I have seen a seemingly disproportionate amount of people here that were having problems with them
[01:11] <Slart> kenthomson: aahhh.. ok.. I thought you had 2 computers.. my bad then
[01:11] <kenthomson> Slart: I will have to reboot, take that output, paste it into the paste bin. reboot to windows and connect to irc.
[01:12] <rodserling> Alright, thanks Jordan_U
[01:12] <Jordan_U> kenthomson, What client are you using on windows
[01:12] <Slart> kenthomson: hmm.. might be easier to get your irc connection up and running first then =)
[01:12] <kenthomson> Slart: ubuntu is really beginning to get sick now. Even after 1.5 years of troubleshooting i can't get it to work properly. And you say i am suppose to dance in the street crying in joy because i use pseudo-free software.
[01:12] <kenthomson> Jordan_U: GAIM
[01:12] <elferson> kenthomson, Slart: agreed
[01:12] <kenthomson> elferson: Slart: that would be welcome
[01:13] <cryingken> cries
[01:13] <Slart> kenthomson: I'm not saying anything =) whoever told you linux was some kind of holy grail of desktop computer was not entirely truthful
[01:13] <Bo3> somebody tell me what i do with this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35240/plain/
[01:13] <gordonjcp> Slart: depends what you're doing
[01:14] <Jordan_U> kenthomson, Go to Accounts -> Your IRC account -> Edit -> Advanced tab and check what port it is using.
[01:14] <cryingken> Slart: atleast they told me it was a panacea for well everything
[01:14] <gordonjcp> Slart: for some people, it is the absolute best desktop OS possible
[01:14] <gordonjcp> take my Mum, for example
[01:14] <aukef> Bo3: how about you obtain a serial from the shown url? :)
[01:14] <Slart> Bo3: you've installed all kinds of software, glpi, wmware-server, bugzilla etc etc.. perhaps you should start over with a fresh install
[01:14] <kenthomson> Jordan_U: 6667
[01:14] <gordonjcp> non-tech as they get, just turned 0x46 two weeks ago
[01:15] <Bo3> slar4:how i do that
[01:15] <Khim3ra> is this the place for have help about sound?
[01:15] <gordonjcp> ok, so she's a retired school teacher so probably on the cleverer end of the bell curve
[01:15] <kenthomson> Jordan_U: and the ubuntu xchat too uses 6667, because there was a message like. "Connection refused...irc.freenode.net...port 6667" or something like that
[01:16] <Slart> hehe
[01:16] <Khim3ra> I need Support... anyone can help me please?
[01:16] <ken> so anyone can help me now?
[01:17] <Jordan_U> !anyone | Khim3ra
[01:17] <ubotu> Khim3ra: 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?
[01:17] <elferson> lol, suddenly this feels like the other end of Vanilla Sky
[01:17] <ken> elferson: i didnt get that joke
[01:17] <ken> elferson: whats a vanilla sky
[01:17] <Slart> ken: what are we doing.. fixing the irc-problem first?
[01:17] <Bo3> did i really messed up my ubuntu desktop?
[01:17] <ken> Slart: anything you suggest
[01:18] <elferson> oh, it's a movie where Tom Cruise is stuck in an alternate reality and is screaming "Tech Support" for help
[01:18] <Jordan_U> elferson, Do you get chocolate rain from a Vanilla Sky ?;)
[01:18] <Khim3ra> ubotu thanks, I don't have sound in my hp pavilion dv2325... My ubuntu version is 7.04 , what can I do?
[01:18] <Slart> Bo3: nope.. it's not messed up but you've installed lots of programs the require some configuration.. either you learn how to configure them or you start over...
[01:18] <ken> Slart: but do take note that i am going to write down all the possible solutions, boot ubuntu, try them, boot windows, connect to irc and than report. So i need extensive list of possible solutions before embarking as you can guess the pain it would take to boot the pc just for one command that doesnt work
[01:18] <ken> elferson: what the movie? "vanilla sky"?
[01:18] <Slart> ken: you could ping irc.freenode.org.. and you can surf the web.. but you can't connect using the regular irc software on ubuntu
[01:18] <Bo3> slar4:how i learn how 2 config them the right way all?
[01:19] <elferson> ken: yeah :)
[01:19] <ken> Slart: ya
[01:19] <Jordan_U> Khim3ra, Can you run "alsamixer" in a terminal and make sure that none of the channels are muted ( have "MM" at the bottom ) ?
[01:19] <ken> Khim3ra: despair not, ubotu is as helpful as they come :)
[01:19] <spiderfire> hello..anyone know how to make the refresh rate higher?
[01:19] <ken> !refresh | spidefire
[01:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about refresh - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:19] <Slart> Bo3: depends entirely on what software you have installed.. use google, read man pages, check documentation etc etc
[01:19] <ken> !resolution | spiderfire
[01:19] <ubotu> spiderfire: 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
[01:20] <spiderfire> thnks
[01:20] <Slart> ken, elferson: so. any suggestions? iptables messed up? weird irc-software? anything else?
[01:20] <jensens> how can i reset completly a users setting. rm -rf /home/username is not enough, desktop settings still remaining.
[01:20] <ken> Slart: how many productive hours of manking are wasted because some idiotic geek whose free software we are using forgot to remember that there is something called documentation?
[01:20] <Jordan_U> Khim3ra, Can you run "alsamixer" in a terminal and make sure that none of the channels are muted ( have "MM" at the bottom ) ?
[01:20] <ken> Slart: *mankind
  there's no MM or mute sound running "alsamixer"
[01:21] <elferson> ken, Slart: I'm thinking iptables -F should troubleshoot the firewall right out
[01:21] <Slart> ken: oh.. there are plenty of documentation.. problem is finding the right 20 lines of documentation =)
[01:21] <Jordan_U> Khim3ra, Do you see the tracks there?
[01:21] <ken> elferson: i think i had some GUI app for firewall. It was firestarter or something
[01:21] <ken> Slart: right on!
 I already install plugins. Yes, I see the tracks
[01:21] <Slart> elferson: yes, I agree.. ken, write down.. "sudo iptables -F" will clear all firewall rules
[01:22] <ken> Slart: no we are getting somewhere
[01:22] <SecrethX> Someone know how to get my bluetooth stick to work? I can send files from my computer, but not receive them on my computer..
[01:22] <elferson> ken: lol there you are, just disable it then as root@host run : iptables -F
[01:22] <elferson> ken: that'll clean out all rules
[01:22] <spiderfire> how do i write 512mb memory in kb?
[01:22] <Slart> ken, have you installed any kind of firewall? shorewall? firestarter?
[01:23] <gordonjcp> 512000kb
[01:23] <faileas> spiderfire: SI mb or standard MB? ;p
[01:23] <freak124> I have some serious problems here... I can't get on my computer anymore because of beryl, so now I have to take beryl out of sessions with a terminal and I have no idea how to do it. I'm even surprised I managed to get on irc....
[01:23] <orbital_fox> hello
[01:23] <Khim3ra> Jordan_U: It's seem like there's no problem, but no sound is playing at all, even with the Test Sound button in preferences/sound configuration applet
[01:23] <gordonjcp> freak124: hi
[01:23] <ken> Slart: elferson: I dont know what these rules are so prob. there is nothing to be cleared. BTW, the message says "connection refused...irc.freenode.net" Doesnt that mean that the server is refusing me a connection?
[01:23] <spiderfire> gordonjcp: thats not exact...
[01:23] <ken> Slart: i have firestarter
[01:23] <spiderfire> its for the video card
[01:23] <ken> Slart: but never tinkered it with
[01:23] <Jordan_U> freak124, Just start Gnome in failsafe mode
[01:23] <gordonjcp> freak124: silly question, but have you tried just apt-get removing beryl?
[01:23] <Slart> ken: ah.. there's the problem then
[01:23] <spiderfire> im configuring the video card
[01:23] <ken> Slart: but that is a harmless fool
[01:23] <doug_> is there a way to see if anyone is monitoring your ip?
[01:23] <orbital_fox> when i run debus, my systems memory is not being used very well, after a while the system gets laggy and slow, any ideas?
[01:23] <freak124> Jordan_U, -->doesnt work
[01:23] <teKnofreak> hi, how do i rsync from a local mirror say http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/ubuntu/ ?
[01:23] <ken> doug_: peer guardian?
[01:24] <Slart> ken: do this first then "sudo apt-get remove --purge firestarter" it will remove firestarter and any config files for it
[01:24] <elferson> ken: it may be refusing alright, but it may be because it's not able to communicate with your computer.
[01:24] <freak124> gordonjcp, -->I didn't
[01:24] <freak124> I'll tru
[01:24] <freak124> try*
[01:24] <Bo3> jordan_u:how do i fix my screen?
[01:24] <doug_> ken i do alot torrent downloads and wounder if anyone special u know is monitoring it
[01:24] <orbital_fox> when i run debus, my systems memory is not being used very well, after a while the system gets laggy and slow, any ideas?
[01:24] <Jordan_U> Bo3, What is wrong with it?
[01:24] <Slart> ken: if it still doesn't work you need to run this "sudo iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT"
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> how would starting in failsafe mode not work, because of beryl?  failsafe is CLI
[01:25] <gordonjcp> IndyGunFreak: or indeed, just CTRL-ALT-F1
[01:25] <ken> Slart: is the later part caps?
[01:25] <freak124> IndyGunFreak-->for some reason my screen turns white in failsafe mode to...
[01:25] <ken> Slart: is this a one-time affair or do i do it everytime?
[01:25] <Bo3> jordan_u:my screen is not useing the whole monitor
[01:25] <Slart> ken: yes.. never tried with small letters.. but caps works
[01:25] <Khim3ra> Jordan_U: How I can install a sound driver? Maybe that's fix the problem. I test it in another OS and works fine
[01:25] <ken> doug_: google peerguardian
[01:25] <Slart> ken: one-time
[01:25] <doug_> ken thanks
[01:25] <Jordan_U> !fixres > Bo3
[01:25] <ken> Slart: ok
[01:26] <elferson> ken, Slart: wouldn't it be easier to simply flush the firewall rules?
[01:26] <Bo3> jordann_u:what?
[01:26] <IndyGunFreak> freak124: strange... i've never heard safe mode being a problem like that
[01:26] <Slart> elferson: the flush doesn't kill the policies on the chains
[01:26] <Slart> elferson: I found that out the hard way myself =)
[01:26] <freak124> what's the command for removing beryl?
[01:26] <ken> Slart: elferson: Are we talking english?
[01:26] <IndyGunFreak> freak124: how did you install beryl?
[01:26] <freak124> ehm
[01:26] <ken> freak124: sudo apt-get remove --purge beryl
[01:26] <freak124> synaptic
[01:26] <Jordan_U> Khim3ra, If you see tracks in alsamixer you shouldn't need an extra driver, what is the output of "asoundconf list" ?
[01:27] <IndyGunFreak> freak124: then just do as others said, apt-get remove it.
[01:27] <elferson> ken, Slart: lol, right on... I've been playing with portsentry and have had to unblock myself many times
[01:27] <Khim3ra> Jordan_U: Sorry, seeing the tracks on alsamixer, the IEC958 has MM
[01:27] <Jordan_U> ken, Don't do the --purge if you want to keep your preferences
[01:27] <Slart> ken: hehe.. we're waist deep into linux-land now.. but you won't be here long.. I think you can try these things in ubuntu and see if irc doesn't start working
[01:27] <ken> Jordan_U: right
[01:27] <teKnofreak> Any clue on how to get a local ubuntu CD mirror done, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/mirror sys me to rsync, but when i run the cmd it asks me to use a local repos
[01:27] <ken> Slart: i will be back soon. Thank you! :)
[01:27] <Jordan_U> freak124, , Don't do the --purge if you want to keep your preferences
[01:27] <seamus_ie> I just did a clean install of fiesty and now when I run beryl all I get is a white screen. I end up having to kill the X server . Any ideas? I'm using kde
[01:27] <elferson> ken: GL!
[01:28] <qazibasit> hi
[01:28] <Slart> seamus_ie: white screen is a known problem.. ask in #ubuntu-effects , That's where the bling bling people are =)
[01:28] <Bo3> jordan_u:so did you understand what i mean by useing my whole screen on my monitor?
[01:28] <Khim3ra> Jordan_U: asoundconf list: Names of available sound cards: Intel
[01:28] <seamus_ie> Slart: thanks
[01:28] <SecrethX> Someone know how to get my bluetooth stick to work? I can send files from my computer, but not receive them on my computer..
[01:29] <Slart> you're welcome, seamus_ie
[01:29] <Jordan_U> Bo3, I assume that it is not using the full resolution and so there is black to fill the extra space
[01:29] <steph_16th> hi, do you know Why there's full input in default iptables config after install? isn't that unsafe?!
[01:30] <Jordan_U> steph_16th, Because nothing is listening on a default install :)
[01:30] <Bo3> jordan_u:yeah ur right. how i fix that?
[01:30] <Slart> steph_16th: this isn't windows.. =)
[01:30] <Jordan_U> Bo3, Why are you addressing me specifically?
[01:30] <crackerbox> id like to read my "/home/owner/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini" file and set the "Path=" info as a variable using a bash command
[01:31] <Slart> steph_16th: I think iptables is as disabled as you can make it on a default install... probably for usability reasons
[01:31] <Bo3> jordan_u: i dont understand what you mean
[01:31] <[manas] > anyone can help me
[01:31] <[manas] > ?
[01:31] <steph_16th> ok, thx :)
[01:31] <freak124> Well, I tried to remove it, but the screen stays plain white...

[01:33] <NET||abuse> Hey guys.. i'm trying to login through sftp to a server (sshd is running, a centos server) through nautilus, so i put sftp://user@domain@serverip and it asks for a password, i put in the password, but it just keeps poping up the password dialog..
[01:33] <Jordan_U> blix, What are you trying to do?
[01:33] <Jordan_U> blix, And how?
[01:34] <Yuanmin> Hello,why i can access my disk portable in Linux but not in windows? and its properties is changed to EISA?
[01:34] <[manas] > i got kworld tv tuner where can i find drivers and how i can install it on ubuntu??????????
[01:34] <Slart> crackerbox: I'm not brushing you off.. I don't remember the command myself.. but I looked it up a couple of months ago.. and I had to do a lot of reading and testing
[01:34] <NET||abuse> the unusual user name format is a side affect of the Ensim hosting software, so not my doing :)
[01:34] <[manas] > i got kworld tv tuner where can i find drivers and how i can install it on ubuntu??????????
[01:34] <Dusk_> crackerbox: and then?? whic category will i choose?
[01:34] <blix> jordan_U: I'm trying to format my hard drive to a format Windows can recognise, i.e. ntfs.
[01:34] <SecrethX> Dusk_, navigate to apps -> nautilus -> desktop
[01:34] <Bo3> i have this problem, my screen is not useing the whole monitor. how i fix that?
[01:34] <Jordan_U> NET||abuse, Can you ssh in normally through the terminal?
[01:34] <Geek_> [manas] : its generally polite to ask once and wair
[01:34] <NET||abuse> Jordan_U: yes yes, i've confirmed that for sure
[01:34] <Khim3ra> There's no sound in my HP Pavilion dv2325la, no MM sound, no test sound, what can I do for solve it?
[01:34] <SecrethX> Dusk_, There youll find an option like volumes_visible, trash_icon_visible, home_icon_visible, network_icon_visible, computer_icon_visible. Uncheck the optios for the icons you would like to remove from desktop.
[01:35] <Frogzoo> Bo3: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[01:35] <SecrethX> Dusk_, and check the ones you want to see :)
[01:35] <Dusk_> oh ok i founded...thanks to you
[01:35] <Geek_> blix: you can't format to NTFS from linux. i'd suggest FAT32?
[01:35] <[manas] > Geek_ but it not seams someone is listining me
[01:35] <blix> jordan_U: I'm in live CD mode at the momen
[01:35] <cjsstables> anyone want to help with a display issue?
[01:35] <Bo3> frogzoo:what is that for?
[01:35] <NET||abuse> Jordan_U: use vfat no?
[01:35] <Geek_> [manas] : people will be LESS likely to listen to you if you spam the channel
[01:35] <blix> jordan_U: fat32 I could have a go at...
[01:35] <NET||abuse> Jordan_U: sorry i meant for blix
[01:35] <Jordan_U> blix, You can't write to the MBR of a drive with mounted partitions ( well you can but you REALLY shouldn't... ) and Windows can read and write to ext3 with the proper drivers
[01:36] <Slart> [manas] : if you don't get an answer it's probably because people don't know the answer.. you can repeat the question every 5 minutes or so.. but not too often
[01:36] <chendo``> does ubuntu's install nondestructively resize NTFS?
[01:36] <[manas] > ok ok sorry my mistake
[01:36] <Geek_> chendo``: IF your careful and its XP's NTFS or older
[01:36] <chendo``> it's XP's NTFS, yes
[01:36] <Jordan_U> Bo3, What GFX card do you have?
[01:36] <chendo``> what do i have to be careful about?
[01:36] <blix> jordan_U: I could do the drivers thing...but I don't wanna screw up any drives I have up..
[01:37] <Slart> chendo``: I haven't used it myself but I haven't heard about it killing ntfs partitions
[01:37] <blix> I wonder if the drivers could fit on a USB stick
[01:37] <Geek_> chendo``: done it before, no issues,
[01:37] <Frogzoo> Bo3: it will allow you to adjust your screen res, if that's your problem - otherwise use the monitors controls to adjust
[01:37] <NET||abuse> Jordan_U: what do you think could be the issue with logging in to this sshd server via sftp with nautilus?

[01:42] <Khim3ra> IndyGunFreak: Intel sound driver, for a HP Pavilion dv2325LA notebook
[01:42] <Slart> craven: have you searched google? or the ubuntu forums? I've seen so many people ask about grub error 17 there must be an answer somewhere
[01:42] <doug_> craven, try that first it might help
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> Khim3ra: open a terminal, type "lspci" and look throught hat list, and see exactly how it identifies your sound device.
[01:42] <oDesk> Jordan_U: simple here is my laptop model, and i want to get 1280x800 working  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Lenovo3000N100_0768

[01:43] <NET||abuse> Jordan_U: it's not my server.
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> medfly: any ati will suck..
[01:43] <doug_> hey slart u know anything about peerguardian?
[01:43] <Slart> medfly: ati and linux are trickier than nvidia and linux
[01:43] <h> can anyone help me when they have a moment. My screen resolution is poor and Im not given any options to change it. What can I do ??
[01:44] <Slart> doug_: nope.. never used it
[01:44] <doug_> dang ok thnks slart
[01:44] <Jordan_U> medfly, Stay away from ATI at all costs
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> Khim3ra: those chipsets have a lot of problems in ubuntu, its been brought up here before, i don't recall seeing a resolution, try googling that line, and "No sound ubuntu 7.04".. and you'll see the bug reports
[01:44] <doug_> anyone know how to use peerguardian and install it?
[01:44] <medfly> Slart, well, i would normally pick some nvidia card but that would restrict me to linux (i wanna use BSD aswell). are you trying to say that they do work, but its hard to get them to work?
[01:44] <medfly> man, i write awfully long sentences
[01:45] <Jordan_U> medfly, Nvidia makes BSD drivers also
[01:45] <medfly> Jordan_U, are they that bad?:-)
[01:45] <Khim3ra> IndyGunFreak: Thanks :) I'll try it right now

[01:45] <Slart> medfly: ati cards work.. but afaik they require a bit more work to get going.. but ati are improving their drives .. nvidia has a better track record on linux
[01:45] <medfly> Jordan_U, i dont think it does. the most recent driver is for freebsd, and i think the most recent grpahic card it supports is the 5700fx, or something
[01:45] <Slart> !ati | medfly
[01:45] <ubotu> medfly: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:45] <spleencheesmonke> morning all. anyone able to help me get videos to play in firefox?  they will play if i right click then open in mplayer, but not in the browser
[01:45] <Jordan_U> medfly, Yes, unstable, can cause kernel panicks, don't support AIGLX, slow...
[01:45] <doug_> gcostello,  yes i done that but wne i get to the start part it shows its nto a command
[01:46] <cjsstables> doesanyone know if someone has an ubuntu deb package for gnucash 2.2.1
[01:46] <medfly> Jordan_U, is AIGLX one of those fancy new window manager things? in that case, i dont mind. :-)

[01:46] <henkdetank> in order to allow apache to work with files and folders that I have made, i have set the user and group of apache to mine. Is this a dumb thing to do?
[01:46] <medfly> Geek_, yes?
[01:46] <craven> Slart: iv looked a round and most of them need a live cd to recover i use a alternitive installtion so what can i do?
[01:46] <Jordan_U> medfly, AIGLX is required for those fancy window manager things, if you have the option go with intel integrated, they provide great open source drivers
[01:46] <Geek_> its an extention for X server ;p
[01:47] <Geek_> NOT a compositor
[01:47] <oDesk> Jordan_U: have something for me ?
[01:47] <doug_> gcostello, sudo: peerguardian.sh: command not found is what pops up when i do sudo: peerguardian.sh: command not found but i do have it installed and i made the script and evrythng
[01:47] <medfly> Jordan_U, its okay. uhm, whats intel integrated?
[01:47] <oDesk> :)

[01:47] <craven> wel i guess it reinstall
[01:47] <Slart> craven: yes.. I think you'll need a live cd... can't you download and burn one of the ubuntu installation cd's?
[01:47] <Jordan_U> medfly, The majority of cheap built in low powered GPU's :)
[01:47] <doug_> gcostello,  sorry mistypo on sudo peerguardian.sh start
[01:48] <medfly> spleencheesmonke, well, i needed flash to get the youtube videos to work. but i dont have experience with other things..
[01:48] <henkdetank> does anyone know this???
[01:48] <henkdetank> in order to allow apache to work with files and folders that I have made, i have set the user and group of apache to mine. Is this a dumb thing to do?
[01:48] <gcostello> doug_: where did you create it? In /usr/local/bin ?
[01:48] <Jordan_U> medfly, In fact the majority of GPU's in general I believe ( most people aren't gamers )
[01:48] <craven> Slart: my pc will not run a live cd it only has 128 mb
[01:48] <doug_> yes gcostello
[01:48] <medfly> Jordan_U, ah. i got an onboard graphic card, but its like - im using an amd motherboard. i have an onboard graphic card and apparently the driver is bugged with no maintainer.
[01:48] <Jordan_U> craven, I assume you know about the alternate install CD?
[01:48] <Slart> craven: ahh.. how did you install it? using the alternate install cd?
[01:48] <spleencheesmonke> medfly - youtube vids play fine
[01:48] <gcostello> doug_: you may need to add /usr/local/bin to your path
[01:49] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: if its not production, you don't have to worry :)
[01:49] <gcostello> doug_: try export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
[01:49] <craven> Jarodan yes and Slart yes
[01:49] <medfly> Jordan_U, yeah, sadly i am one (a gamer). i guess ill go for ati. its good to know that even if it doesnt work out so well in bsd, ill be able to sort of run it on linux. thanks
[01:49] <doug_> gcostello,  ok i will
[01:49] <medfly> thanks for all the help guys :)
[01:49] <Slart> craven: I'm wondering if grub doesn't have a small restore cd of their own
[01:49] <Jordan_U> medfly, Much better to go with Nvidia
[01:49] <Slart> craven: I'll look around.. brb
[01:49] <Jordan_U> medfly, *Much* better :)
[01:49] <medfly> Jordan_U, whats the issue with it?

[01:51] <crackerbox> here is what i use: cat /home/owner/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini | grep Path

[01:52] <GNine> i think its some sort of bs

[01:52] <doug_> gcostello,  where do i find that at?
[01:52] <gnomefreak> ah looked right past that :(
[01:52] <kbrosnan> siskel: just drag and drop it into the theme manager
[01:52] <gcostello> doug: ls -l /usr/local/bin/peerguardian.sh
[01:52] <kbrosnan> siskel: tools -> addons -> themes
[01:52] <gcostello> doug_: ls -l /usr/local/bin/peerguardian.sh

[01:53] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: good practice
[01:53] <siskel> kbrosnan, will try that , thanks
[01:53] <craven> Slart: thatnks
[01:53] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: from memory, apache drops privs to nobody so that if a vuln is found they can't compromise the box
[01:53] <henkdetank> ok, that seems ok
[01:53] <medfly> Jordan_U, thanks for the warning
[01:53] <doug_> gcostello, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4697 2007-08-27 06:34 /usr/local/bin/peerguardian.sh
[01:53] <Jordan_U> Bo3, Did you ever say what Graphics card you have?
[01:53] <henkdetank> yeah that makes sence
[01:54] <henkdetank> ok, thanks!
[01:54] <Bo3> jordan_u:did find it
[01:54] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: I mean its about exposure - if you don't really care too much about the data or the box, and you can always format it... then who cares :)
[01:54] <Bo3> didnt find it*
[01:54] <Jordan_U> medfly, Np, I am an unfortunate ATI user, definitely not by choice :)
[01:54] <gcostello> doug_: sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/peerguardian.sh
[01:54] <henkdetank> yeah ur right
[01:54] <vince_> some one have asus F3SV ??
[01:54] <henkdetank> but i wouldn't want it hacked preferebly
[01:54] <siskel> kbrosnan, thank you , it worked...
[01:55] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: just do sudo chown -R oldowner:oldgroup on the www folder before you open the port
[01:55] <Bo3> jordan_u:tellme this does ubuntu support "e-GeForce FX5200?
[01:55] <doug_> gcostello,  ok done
[01:55] <cjsstables> hey all.  I have a wallpaper *.png that I want to show up for all users.  what directory should I put this in?
[01:55] <henkdetank> hey
[01:55] <craven> yay they have a floppy
[01:55] <Jordan_U> Bo3, Check in System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[01:55] <medfly> Jordan_U, well, i googled a little and found someone saying he has a solution to his poor performance problem
[01:55] <tony_tomato> hey! Trying to install wireless on acer aspire 5920g - cant find what part of lspci output is my wireless card. trying to follow troubleshooting on help.ubuntu.com . help?
[01:55] <medfly> Jordan_U, in case you wanna see. and you were right, the drivers, atleast for freebsd, are up-to-date
[01:56] <gcostello> doug_: does it work now?
[01:56] <henkdetank> jeffferari, couldn't i set apache so that it can manipulate every file within a folder, but only that folder?
[01:56] <doug_> gcostello,  thanks pal it worked
[01:56] <Bo3> jordan_u:now what
[01:56] <doug_> gcostello,  thanks for all ur help
[01:56] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: I think apache has a directive in it's config filethat sets what user/group it drops privs to
[01:56] <henkdetank> so when i create a file with another user in that folder, it is automatically owned by both myself and apache?
[01:56] <medfly> Jordan_U, here - http://tinyurl.com/yqeo6f (in case you wanna see his solution)
[01:56] <blix> Does anyone want to solve my problem through remote desktop?
[01:56] <henkdetank> hmmm
[01:57] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: better off adding yourself to the same group the apache user is in
[01:57] <ziroday> blix sure ip?
[01:57] <henkdetank> i'll have to look into that
[01:57] <apocalypti> doug_: that didnt really help, its 2 things in applications->accessories (specifically TiLP and KAlarm)
[01:57] <Jordan_U> medfly, The poor performance is due to poor coding, there is no fix for that ( and one thing to know about Linux is that there are a lot of BS instructions posted on random blogs, try to stick to the wiki if you can )
[01:57] <blix> uhh...one sec
[01:57] <jeffferrari> do ls -l against www to find wwwgroup
[01:57] <gcostello> doug_: no worries
[01:57] <henkdetank> i tried that
[01:57] <apocalypti> doug_: that didnt really help, its 2 things in applications->accessories (specifically TiLP and KAlarm)
[01:57] <dreaddog> Greetings for the first time in Ubuntu IRC! Bless you!
[01:57] <skeeel> hello
[01:57] <jeffferrari> add yourself to whatever groupit is... voila! no changes to permissions, but you and apache can work in same directory
[01:57] <henkdetank> but then when i created a new folder, it said the group was not apache but my own (old) group
[01:58] <bullgard4> Is there a tool available to search in texts of Notes or annotations I have made in Nautilus > Names > <filename> (right-click)> [Property of <filename>]  > tab 'Notes'? (This information is stored in ~/.nautilus/metafiles/<directory-name>.xml)
[01:58] <doug_> apocalypti,  sorry i figured that mgiht do it it done it to me a few times whne i had that problem
[01:58] <Bo3> did you guys know that a hardware can stop you from booting from cd and harddrive and floppy and usb?
[01:58] <blix> ziroday: how do I find my gateway address?
[01:58] <Geek_> "a hardware" ?
[01:58] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: so which group was old group?
[01:58] <Geek_> sure, a chainsaw would, as would a hammer
[01:58] <Bo3> i found out that it is true a hardware can stop you from booting from any deivce
[01:58] <skeeel> i get Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should  reinstall it before attempting a removal. error , but when i try to reinstall it i get error .... why cqn i avoid that ?
[01:58] <apocalypti> doug_: thanks anyway for tryin. any other ideas?
[01:58] <henkdetank> lets say when i installed ubuntu, i created a user called henkie
[01:58] <stupidgirl> hai
[01:59] <henkdetank> and a group henkie
[01:59] <doug_> let me do some digging what is the program u want apocalypti
[01:59] <henkdetank> then later i tried adding henkie to the group apache
[01:59] <skeeel> i mean how can i avoid that ...
[01:59] <apocalypti> doug_: TiLP and KAlarm
[01:59] <tony_tomato> Is anyone able to find my wireless card in this output from lshw http://pastebin.com/m466e2f96
[01:59] <Bo3> there is 2 type of people (1) programmers" (2) engineers"
[01:59] <henkdetank> but then when i create a new folder in the www folder, it sais the group is henkie not apache
[01:59] <jeffferrari> ahh
[02:00] <stupidgirl> i would liek to use wine to run  program, i want to copy a few files from my windows partion to the C:/WINdows folder in winne, plus a folder to the C:/Program Files in wine. how to do this??
[02:00] <dreaddog> Anyone knows about developing Ubuntu Gutsy? I can't get to wireless network there. Maybe it's just a fawlt of my ISP but everything seems to be OK in other Operating System
[02:00] <henkdetank> oh did i mention i am a total noob :D
[02:00] <Bo3> if 2 build a hardware   that mean 1 cant bypass it
[02:00] <doug_> apocalypti,  hwo did u install it?
[02:00] <henkdetank> installed ubuntu 2 days ago first time hehe
[02:00] <jeffferrari> lol you're doing well
[02:00] <skeeel> stupidgirl, cp /path/files /newpath ?
[02:00] <henkdetank> i was happy i got so far
[02:00] <ziroday> tony_tomato: usb or pci or what?
[02:00] <jeffferrari> if you need to do this the way you are you need to change henkie's main group
[02:01] <stupidgirl> ?? o rly
[02:01] <Bo3> so 1+2=3 that is the both things u need to learn to really understand what your really doing.
[02:01] <stupidgirl> skeeel thnx i try that i guess :-S
[02:01] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: go System->admin->users and groups
[02:01] <henkdetank> i tried doing that in the gui
[02:01] <doug_> apocalypti,  how did u install them through add/remove or through synaptic?
[02:01] <henkdetank> ok hang on
[02:01] <stupidgirl> idk where the path to it is:-S
[02:01] <skeeel> yes or use a file manager to do that , same as in win
[02:01] <blix> ziroday: I only know my DHCP assigned address, how do I find my gateway address?
[02:01] <Jordan_U> medfly, In the particular case of that post the person only had *more* speed problems because slackware wasn't set up as more up to date distributions are, so the instructions were legitimate but don't help in my case, thanks for the link though, it was interesting :)
[02:02] <aladdine> hello ppls
[02:02] <henkdetank> its kinda slow now because i am importing 15 million records into mysql :P
[02:02] <stupidgirl> where does wine put these pretend C folder
[02:02] <blix> I need some one to remote desk me, how do I find the i.p. address?
[02:02] <henkdetank> ok, so i am in there, and i click properties for henkie i guess?
[02:02] <jeffferrari> blix: type ipconfig to find interface's ip address
[02:02] <Jordan_U> stupidgirl, .wine in your home folder ( it's hidden )
[02:02] <gvsa123> blix: ifconfig?
[02:02] <jeffferrari> blix: type route to find the gateways and routes known to computer
[02:02] <blix> jeffferari: done that....
[02:03] <skeeel> stupidgirl, start winesetup and check
[02:03] <blix> ah ok.. yeah route.
[02:03] <stupidgirl> oo thanks Jordan_U
[02:03] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: yes
[02:03] <blix> one sec
[02:03] <ziroday> blix: you need to config your router to forward your ip to accessing that port
[02:03] <sacater> why isnt kde on the ubuntu servers, ive done the sudo apt-get upgrade, but its still claiming that kde and some networking libs cant be found
[02:03] <Pici> stupidgirl: ~/.wine/drive_c/
[02:03] <henkdetank> yes, and main group is apache
[02:03] <tony_tomato> pci : i get "network unclaimed" on pci 3 , but how do i know what driver i need?
[02:03] <ziroday> blix: if you dont know how dont bother
[02:03] <stupidgirl> wheeeeee thanks pici and skeeel
[02:03] <blix> well the gateway is also DHCP assigned
[02:03] <tony_tomato> ziroday, it was for u: pci : i get "network unclaimed" on pci 3 , but how do i know what driver i need?
[02:03] <Jordan_U> sacater, Have you added any third party repositories?
[02:03] <Bo3> how can i download everything all at once that ubuntu has to offer?
[02:03] <blix> I need to know the public address to the outside world
[02:03] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: so retry with "touch test" inside www folder
[02:04] <stupidgirl> blix www.whatismyip.com
[02:04] <stupidgirl> XD
[02:04] <crackerbox> slart: i got it
[02:04] <crackerbox> sed -n '/Path/{s/^.*=//p}' /home/owner/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini
[02:04] <blix> stupidgirl: ...thanks..let me check
[02:04] <ziroday> tony_tomato: it means you are pretty much stuffed
[02:04] <gvsa123> blix
[02:04] <Jordan_U> Bo3, By the time you were through you would have to start over for the next release :)
[02:04] <ziroday> tony_tomato: computer make and model
[02:04] <aladdine> hey is there any one dat can help me out...
[02:04] <blix> gvsa123?
[02:04] <skeeel> anyone know how i can avoid the  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should

[02:04] <aladdine> its a prob with ATI graphix
[02:04] <dreaddog> Thanks for help  :)
[02:05] <sacater> Jordan_U: dont need to

[02:05] <sacater> oh wait
[02:05] <Slart> crackerbox: ah.. I'm still looking for a good example of how to do capturing with grep =)
[02:05] <sacater> im using the gutssy beta on this machine
[02:05] <blix> I now need a volunteer to help me out with my issue
[02:05] <henkdetank> i created a new folder and it sais 'owner henkie' group 'apache' that would be good
[02:05] <sacater> ah....
[02:05] <sacater> sorry
[02:05] <henkdetank> BUT
[02:05] <Jordan_U> sacater, :)
[02:05] <Bo3> jordan_u:i dontknow is that good or bad thing ">:o
[02:05] <blix> ziroday was going to assist..but appears to be busy
[02:05] <Gaidin> hey i am having a problem with permissions, i want to give a windows machine rwe access to a folder o n my edt hdd but every time i change them they get changed back both in gui and using chmod
[02:05] <lnx> how i can expand the totem web cache ( i have lag when i see stream movies in the internet ) ?
[02:05] <Gaidin> *ext
[02:05] <angel> hi
[02:05] <henkdetank> now this IS odd!
[02:05] <gvsa123> blix: sorry. if you're behind an ISP that uses the NAT thing, you might have a difficult, if not impossible time setting up remote access. i never got mine fiesty desktop to be accessible from the outside world due to this.
[02:06] <tony_tomato> ziroday, acer aspire 5290g
[02:06] <ziroday> tony_tomato: gimme a min
[02:06] <SunWuKung> ACTION gives ziroday
[02:06] <henkdetank> when i create a folder from within ubuntu, the group is apache
[02:06] <angel> how can i install internet explorer on ubuntu?
[02:06] <ziroday> SunWuKung: what is that?
[02:06] <tlsarles> angel: use winedoors
[02:06] <tony_tomato> ziroday, sure
[02:06] <henkdetank> but when i create a folder from the network, de owner is henkie...
[02:06] <Bo3> how do i clear my memory ram?
[02:06] <ziroday> angel: IE4Linux
[02:06] <blix> gvsa...I had similiar conclusions in mind, mmm frustrating.
[02:06] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: you logged in with a shell? disconnect and reconnect
[02:07] <aladdine> hey anyone want to help???
[02:07] <blix> brb..getting my washing.
[02:07] <henkdetank> its with windows network
[02:07] <aladdine> its an ATI prob
[02:07] <ziroday> blix: this is what i was trying to tell you :)
[02:07] <LUCKER> hello, how can i change the properties of my disk portable from EISA to active?
[02:07] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: yeah unmount remount
[02:07] <henkdetank> perhaps i should restart samba?
[02:07] <elferson> !anyone | aladdine
[02:07] <ubotu> aladdine: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:07] <lnx> how i can expand the totem web cache ( i have lag when i see stream movies in the internet ) ?
[02:07] <aladdine> elferson,
[02:07] <angel> i did download ie4linux but cannot install it ! when i click install-->run in terminal-->then nothing
[02:07] <Jordan_U> Bo3, With Linux there is less of a seperation between "the OS" and applications that run "on top of" the OS, to get "everything that Ubuntu has to offer" you would have to download all the hundreds of thousands of packages / applications available :)
[02:07] <skeeel> henke : i have a skel dir on /var/www/ the owner is skel.skel and i have no trouble with apache to access there but it must be readable and writeable (if needed) to all , but groups will work too
[02:07] <gvsa123> blix: spent three whole days trying to figure that out. i think it really is impossible, as far as i know
[02:07] <aladdine> got probs with ati graphics driver
[02:07] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: possible... I can't remember if samba has default masks and accounts too
[02:08] <aladdine> its radeon x1300
[02:08] <henkdetank> perhaps so!
[02:08] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: one sec, I'll take a peep
[02:08] <ni1ptr> I just installed feisty and see that my resolution has been recognized only at 800x600, any help would be much appreciated to convince X that I have 1024x...
[02:08] <ziroday> tony_tomato: your model - Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (dual-band quad-mode 802.11a/b/g/Draft-N)
[02:08] <aladdine> i installed it thru add/remove thing in the applications
[02:08] <henkdetank> i didnt figure out yet how to unmount a network folder in XP haha
[02:08] <aladdine> but it aint working..
[02:08] <Jordan_U> Bo3, Actually more like 21,000 but you get the point :)
[02:08] <ziroday> tony_tomato: stil doing some more research so dont rush of yet :)
[02:08] <tlsarles> Anyone know who makes Emerald, where I would download source?
[02:08] <tony_tomato> ziroday, thx!
[02:08] <Bo3> jordan_u:am bored so am going 2 download as much as i can" 1 more thing sometime my memory ram is full how do i clear it"
[02:09] <elferson> aladdine: checking into it ;-)
[02:09] <Jordan_U> ni1ptr, Have you checked the restricted driver manager?
[02:09] <zyclop> ni1ptr, have you run knoppix before?
[02:09] <Bo3> jordan_uO:-)
[02:09] <oDesk> IndyGunFreak: Jordan_U : i got my intel 945GMA to work using this tutorial .. instead of 144... 1280x800    http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Resolution_1440x900_with_Intel_945GM    hope it helps for anyone
[02:09] <ni1ptr> I have run knoppix before, but very briefly, no, I have not check restricted driver manager, let me look around
[02:10] <gvsa123> i was wondering about the same thing Bo3 was asking
[02:10] <Jordan_U> Bo3, Your memory being full is a good thing, it means that data that you use frequently is kept in RAM, unused RAM is waisted RAM ( and the RAM will be reclaimed as soon as any application needs it )
[02:10] <gvsa123> Bo3: did you mean something like, refresh in windows?
[02:10] <Bo3> gvsa123:am asking around u do same untill we find a way.
[02:10] <gvsa123> Bo3: KDE has it though
[02:11] <henkdetank> hohohoho!!!!!!!!!!
[02:11] <zyclop> ni1ptr, or, before you try anything else press crtl + alt + -. that*ll change your resolution. if it "zooms" keep pressing, till its at your normal resolution again
[02:11] <henkdetank> i AM getting somewhere now!
[02:11] <Bo3> jordan_u:what about that data am not useing?
[02:11] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: which one did it? reconnect?
[02:11] <henkdetank> nopw
[02:11] <henkdetank> that didnt work
[02:11] <henkdetank> but i have installed webmin yesterday
[02:11] <aladdine> any one that can help me out with ati radeon x1300 256mb graphix  card prob???
[02:11] <tony_tomato> ziroday, what do you think of this? http://w3.ualg.pt/~aanjos/misc.html
[02:11] <aladdine> desktop effect wont work..
[02:11] <Jordan_U> oDesk, That was probably unnecessary, the tool you installed ( 915resolution ) is mostly obsoleted by the new intel drivers
[02:11] <aladdine> n now
[02:11] <henkdetank> and with that i can "force group' on samba shared folders
[02:12] <oDesk> Jordan_U: at least it works
[02:12] <aladdine> i installed beryl thru add/remove application and even the driver...
[02:12] <jeffferrari> henkdetank" rofl not what I expected but ok
[02:12] <ziroday> tony_tomato: did you have any issues with installation specifically graphic drivers?
[02:12] <aladdine> but it didnt work!!
[02:12] <Bucket> THAT IS SO FUNNY! *falls off terrace*
[02:12] <aladdine> so plz sum body help me out
[02:12] <Jordan_U> Bo3, It sits in RAM not being used or it is taken out of RAM to make room for more important data
[02:13] <elferson> aladdine: hey, I found the drivers on ATI's site, are those the ones you're using?
[02:13] <henkdetank> no me neither
[02:13] <ni1ptr> zyclop: no it does not zoom, which is odd, I had tried that, and I see in the control pannel that the only two choices I have are 640 and 800, which makes me think that installer did not recognize any better
[02:13] <lnx> how i can expand the totem web cache ( i have lag when i see stream movies in the internet ) ?
[02:13] <henkdetank> its still one big adventure
[02:13] <aladdine> nopes..
[02:13] <The-warez-cracko> att
[02:13] <The-warez-cracko> je bug un peu
[02:13] <Jordan_U> aladdine, What driver?
[02:13] <Bo3> jordan_u:ok that i get how can i do it manually?
[02:13] <aladdine> i used the one dat is in add/remove thing in the ubuntu...
[02:13] <tony_tomato> ziroday, i used envy script. but im not sure if beryl will give me black screen if i try and render w gforce card
[02:13] <aguitel> i have laptop with low memory (64 ram) ,how install ubuntu ?
[02:13] <aladdine> ati radeon x1300 256mb
[02:14] <ziroday> tony_tomato: i urge you strongly not to do as what thtat wiki says as it involves recompiling and adding modules to the kernel, futhermore the wiki is for debian not ubuntu
[02:14] <aladdine> i need the driver for dat...
[02:14] <zyclop> ni1ptr, back to the knoppix thing: did knoppix have a resolution you liked?
[02:14] <Jordan_U> Bo3, I don't know, why would you want to?
[02:14] <aladdine> im completely new for ubuntu
[02:14] <henkdetank> i think i fixed it now!!! YESSSSSS
[02:14] <aladdine> its been a week only!!
[02:14] <tony_tomato> ziroday, oki thanks :)
[02:14] <henkdetank> thanks so much ferrari
[02:14] <elferson> aladdine: yeah, it is supported... how long have you been linuxing?
[02:14] <henkdetank> for thinking along with me :D
[02:14] <Jordan_U> aladdine, System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[02:14] <ziroday> tony_tomato: still ooking for you, there do seem to be linux drivers by intel for you
[02:14] <aladdine> a week !!!!
[02:14] <Bo3> jordan_u:sometimes 2 much stuff stay there that it bugs me.
[02:14] <aladdine> its there
[02:14] <tony_tomato> ziroday, yahoo
[02:15] <aladdine> m there
[02:15] <Jordan_U> Bo3, There is nothing wrong with things staying in RAM
[02:15] <ziroday> tony_tomato: is your card detected in the Network Config?
[02:15] <ni1ptr> zyclop: I have not run knoppix on this machine...
[02:15] <Bo3> jordan_u:but is there a way to clear it manually ?
[02:15] <tony_tomato> ziroday, no - not at all
[02:16] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: no prob man
[02:16] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: :)
[02:16] <henkdetank> this is great hehe
[02:16] <ni1ptr> where do I find the restricted driver manager?
[02:16] <elferson> Bo3: sure there is... unfortunately you won't be operating a computer as much as a locked up calculator ;)
[02:16] <oDesk> Jordan_U: now i want to adjust the refresh rate!
[02:16] <aladdine> hey jordan_U
[02:16] <ni1ptr> boy, that was a silly question
[02:16] <ni1ptr> :)
[02:16] <zyclop> ni1ptr, well, what I advise you to do, is to copy the xorg.conf knoppix creates over your xorf.conf. can you follow me?
[02:17] <Jordan_U> Bo3, I am sure there is, but since there is no real reason for it it is probably not easy
[02:17] <mvv> Hi, I am booted from a cdrom, running the installer succesfully but now it can't detect the cdrom drive???
[02:17] <Thursty> hi, can someone help me out
[02:17] <Jordan_U> aladdine, Hi
[02:17] <oDesk> Jordan_U: it's beeing set to 60 hz
[02:17] <Bo3> elferson:tell me how i can do it manually ?
[02:17] <aladdine> hi..
[02:17] <aladdine> dhen wat do i do
[02:17] <mvv> does anyone know how this is possible?
[02:17] <aladdine> i thought u were helping me out
[02:17] <elferson> Bo3:  memory is stored in /proc/kcore, i belive
[02:17] <aladdine> mvv, are u  a maldivian
[02:17] <elferson> Bo3: *believe
[02:17] <Jordan_U> aladdine, Do you see an option for ATI graphics drivers?
[02:17] <mvv> aladdine: nope mvv
[02:17] <Thursty> i am having trouble installing fglrx driver for my ati card
[02:17] <aladdine> yeh i seee..
[02:17] <ni1ptr> zyclop: yah, I do, will have to get the knoppix lcd
[02:17] <mvv> mala what?
[02:18] <Bo3> elferson:how do i do it?
[02:18] <aladdine> maldivian..!!
[02:18] <zyclop> ni1ptr, that's what I did, when it didn't do what I wanted it to do.
[02:18] <aladdine> never heard off!!??
[02:18] <aladdine> jordan_u
[02:18] <Jordan_U> aladdine, Check the box for it and reboot ( or just restart X )
[02:18] <mvv> aha, i'm dutch
[02:19] <aladdine> i did...
[02:19] <aladdine> its chekd even now
[02:19] <aladdine> its working
[02:19] <ziroday> tony_tomato: the wireless card is very common in IBM T61 laptops, however the drivers for the wireless card will not be supprted until gutsy as they have just been created by intel. I reccommend you either wait till gutsy is released or risk it, i believe gutsy is currently in beta stage
[02:19] <aladdine> but desktop effect not working and even beryl not working
[02:19] <aladdine> dat means the driver is dat messed up..
[02:19] <Jordan_U> aladdine, Oh, sorry, confused you with someone else :)
[02:20] <Jordan_U> aladdine, ATI's drivers suck, they don't support Beryl natively
[02:20] <tony_tomato> ziroday, what about ndiswrapper as in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=471794
[02:20] <elferson> Bo3: do what, exactly? kcore contains everything in memory...  if you try to alter it.. no telling
[02:20] <aladdine> grrrr..
[02:20] <ziroday> tony_tomato: thre are reports that ndiswrapper works
[02:20] <ziroday> tony_tomato: was about to tell you :)
[02:20] <aladdine> but i want dat to work on this pc!!
[02:20] <Jordan_U> aladdine, You need to install XGL if you want Beryl with an ATI card
[02:20] <ziroday> tony_tomato: use ndisgtk
[02:20] <aladdine> i jst bought it a month ago..
[02:20] <Bo3> elferson:yeah
[02:20] <aladdine> Jordan_U,
[02:20] <aladdine> how do i do dat..
[02:21] <aladdine> can tell me where i can get the tutorial and how to do stuff..
[02:21] <Jordan_U> tony_tomato, What chipset?
[02:21] <tony_tomato> ziroday, gui?
[02:21] <aladdine> i tried googling
[02:21] <aladdine> dat didnt work fro me
[02:21] <ziroday> tony_tomato: that is a gui
[02:21] <Jordan_U> aladdine, /join #ubuntu-effects
[02:21] <tony_tomato> Jordan_U, 4965 agn
[02:22] <lnx> i have lags in video stream what i can do ?
[02:22] <ziroday> lnxberyl, compiz or compiz fusion?
[02:22] <Gaidin> hey i am having problems with permissions, i want to give a windows machine full access to a folder on my ext hdd but whenever i change the permissions it changes back or says they could not be changed i have tried both the gui and chmod as su and not got any ideas on how to remedy?
[02:23] <Jordan_U> tony_tomato, It looks like you might need a newer version of ndiswrapper than the one that comes with Feisty
[02:23] <tlsarles> Is Emerald part of Compiz-Fusion, or are the seperate projects?
[02:23] <Jordan_U> Gaidin, Is it read only?
[02:23] <jeffferrari> Gaidin: what fs type is the partition?
[02:23] <ni1ptr> zyclop: the funny thing is that in the screen section of xorg.conf there are only 1024 modes listed, none other are defined :/ yet when I go into the ubuntu resolution picker the max I get is 800
[02:23] <Gaidin> no
[02:23] <Gaidin> i can use it like a flashdrive
[02:24] <jeffferrari> Gaidin: is it ntfs?
[02:24] <Gaidin> its in fat32 btw
[02:24] <Jordan_U> Gaidin, fat doesn't have permissions
[02:24] <Gaidin> ah
[02:24] <Gaidin> that would explain XD
[02:24] <jeffferrari> Gaidin: what mount options are set on it?
[02:24] <Gaidin> ym let me check
[02:24] <Gaidin> *um
[02:24] <Jordan_U> ni1ptr, Most likely a driver issue then, what GPU?
[02:25] <zyclop> ni1ptr, maybe they are further on the right of the line?
[02:25] <tony_tomato> Jordan_U, it wont work?
[02:26] <Gaidin> damn... how do you acess the mount options again
[02:26] <Gaidin> i can't remember
[02:26] <ni1ptr> Jordan_U: lspci is reporting ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02)
[02:27] <Jordan_U> tony_tomato, Actually, it seems that ndiswrapper may not be needed either, but just newer versions of the native drivers
[02:27] <Bucket> Um, so I have been having recurring problems with linux since I reinstalled and and increased the patition size. I tried reinstalling again, but the same problems occurred. If I were to reformat my HDD and just install linux on it's own, would that fix these problems?
[02:27] <jeffferrari> mount
[02:27] <jeffferrari> in shell
[02:27] <Ferran> hey
[02:27] <chendo``> sigh, ubuntu installed crashed near the end.
[02:28] <ni1ptr> Jordan_U: same is being showed in the xorg.conf...
[02:28] <Ferran> do anybody know how to install a wacom bluetooth in linux?
[02:28] <tony_tomato> Jordan_U, so i can update a driver in feisty? from gutsy?
[02:28] <GNine> raining over wet wont make it wetter
[02:29] <blix> Anyone who can tunnel their way to 90.195.200.210 for remote viewing, can solve my problem :-)
[02:29] <Ferran> do anybody know how to install a wacom bluetooth in linux?
[02:29] <Bucket> Um, so I have been having recurring problems with linux since I reinstalled and and increased the patition size. I tried reinstalling again, but the same problems occurred. If I were to reformat my HDD and just install linux on it's own, would that fix these problems?
[02:29] <Ferran> do anybody know how to install a wacom bluetooth in linux?
[02:30] <Jordan_U> tony_tomato, I am looking @ http://kuscsik.blogspot.com/2007/06/how-to-install-intel-4965-wireless.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Intel_4965_AGN_WiFi_Driver/Fiesty I don't know how reliable either of those are though, you may want to replace any instance of "make install" with "checkinstall" to make things easier to remove later with dpkg / apt / synaptic ( you also need to install the checkinstal
[02:30] <Jordan_U> l package if you decide to do that )
[02:30] <Ferran> do anybody know how to install a wacom bluetooth in linux?
[02:30] <tego>  error dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem
[02:30] <Jordan_U> Bucket, What kind of problems?
[02:31] <Jordan_U> tego, Run "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[02:32] <handsome34> hi
[02:32] <blix> if I'm trying to select fat32 as the file system..
[02:32] <blix> isn't there a limit to the partition I can have>
[02:32] <tony_tomato> Jordan_U, i tried ndisgtk but it didnt install the 32 bit driver.. maybe i should try the 64?
[02:32] <blix> ?
[02:33] <Jordan_U> tony_tomato, Are you using 64 bit Ubuntu?
[02:33] <Bucket> IT said that there was a problem with bcm43xx an also the last time I tryed to boot it said there was a problem with 'X'.
[02:33] <ziroday> tony_tomato: you need a later ndiswrapper
[02:33] <blix> this is so annoying...why doesn't fdisk let me write to /dev/hda
[02:33] <ziroday> tony_tomato: see - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Intel_4965_AGN_WiFi_Driver/Fiesty
[02:33] <ipx> blix: yes there are limits, like files not bigger then 4gb or something.. google it!
[02:33] <Bucket> It was working fine when I originally installed it. I liked it enough to want to make hte partition bigger. Sinc eI reinstalled it's been all bad though ;_______;
[02:33] <tony_tomato> Jordan_U, ziroday i see :) ill try that howto!
[02:33] <blix> ipx = thanls
[02:33] <blix> thanks
[02:33] <Jordan_U> Bucket, The problem with bcm43xx is that you don't have the firmware for your wireless card :)
[02:33] <blix> I have a 160Gb!
[02:33] <Bucket> Yeh.
[02:34] <ipx> :)
[02:34] <blix> I think I'll go back to NTFS
[02:34] <Bucket> But it was ffecting it majorly.
[02:34] <Bucket> And what? Firmware?
[02:34] <ipx> yes ntfs is a bit better i suppose
[02:34] <ipx> but ex3 for the win :)
[02:34] <blix> yeah I'm trying to format it to ntfs.
[02:34] <jeffferrari> reiser4 ftw :p
[02:34] <Jordan_U> Bucket, You may be able to get your wireless card working too :)
[02:35] <zezom> I'm brand spanking new to ubuntu and I installed a system but then changed to graphic card from the on board intel on to an agp savage 3d video card and now my X server is configured in correctly... is there a command that will reconfigure the x server to re detect all of the hard ware and install what is needed ?
[02:35] <blix> I'm able to set an ntfs partition but I can't write to the drive I want it for i.e. /dev/hda
[02:35] <Bucket> On my first installation I got my wireless card working and it told me to blacklist bcm43xx so it didn;'t interfere. But if I did blacklist it then, why would it have affected this later install and also, amarok wasn't working in my later installs either ;___;
[02:35] <Bo3> is fun downloading :-P:-P
[02:35] <rexy_> !xconfiguration
[02:35] <Jordan_U> !xconfig | zezom
[02:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xconfiguration - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:35] <ubotu> zezom: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[02:36] <zezom> thanks Jordan_U  :) i'll give it a go when it boots again
[02:36] <Bucket> Blix, add/remove programs. Search ntfs with all applications option highlighted.
[02:36] <gordonjcp> can anyone recommend a little hex colour picker proggy?
[02:36] <Jordan_U> Bucket, What chipset is your card, you may not need ndiswrapper, ( bcm43xx is the native, open source driver for your card )
[02:36] <blix> Bucket: what will that acheive/
[02:36] <blix> ?
[02:36] <Bucket> my card is broadcom 1390.
[02:36] <AMbrose> I can't backup data w/ DVD dual layer
[02:37] <Bucket> it didn't work until I had done all hte ndiswrapper stuff.
[02:37] <Bucket> But either way
[02:37] <Bucket> LINUX IS FRICKIN BROKEN. Will reformatting fix it?
[02:37] <ipx> blix: u can use the terminal and type "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g"
[02:37] <Jordan_U> Bucket, It all depends on how and why it's broken
[02:37] <blix> ah right ok..I'll do that instead
[02:37] <blix> thanks Bucket..
[02:37] <trypglyph> Bucket, yes, and what will finalize the solution is a fresh copy of BSD.
[02:38] <viril> question: what's a good program for cover designer of audio cd?
[02:38] <Bucket> BSD?
[02:38] <blix> mmm, couldnt find package
[02:38] <Jordan_U> ipx, It may be easier for him to install ntfs-config which will setup ntfs-3g automagically
[02:38] <jeffferrari> rofl @ bsd
[02:38] <Bucket> THAT IS SO FUNNY! *falls off terrace*
[02:38] <AMbrose> I can't backup data w/ DVD dual layer
[02:38] <ipx> Jordan_U: i wasnt aware of that, you tell him :)
[02:38] <trypglyph> Bucket: if only.
[02:38] <d95mbo> no
[02:38] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | blix
[02:39] <ipx> blix: do this: "System > Administration > Software sources" and fill all the boxes in that window
[02:39] <ubotu> blix: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[02:39] <AMbrose> Anyone
[02:39] <blix> right ok...
[02:39] <AMbrose> I tried using Gnomebaker & it crashes
[02:39] <lnx> i have lags in video stream what i can do ?
[02:39] <blix> let me see what I can do
[02:39] <ipx> follow that guide
[02:39] <Bucket> okay, well, I have Ubuntu. I don't want to download a different one, I want to use this liveCD.
[02:39] <ipx> and you're good to go
[02:39] <b0ha> what is the shortcut for terminal ?
[02:39] <AMbrose> And I tried K3b but it doesn't support it
[02:40] <ipx> b0ha: gnome-terminal
[02:40] <trypglyph> Bucket: you need BSD>
[02:40] <Jordan_U> Bucket, Other than the bcm43xx errors, in what way is it broken?
[02:40] <trypglyph> Jordan_U: BCM43xx? Give up now.
[02:40] <Bucket> IT doesn't work. that#'s all I can tell you, also, says big problems with 'X'
[02:40] <b0ha> ipx, yes
[02:40] <AMbrose> Can anyone help me
[02:40] <Bucket> couldn't even boot into it. having to reinstall.
[02:40] <Jordan_U> trypglyph, You are not being helpful
[02:40] <aladdine> hey anyone now?
[02:41] <Bucket> Also, why do I 'need' bsd?
[02:41] <trypglyph> Jordan_U: you're not possessing a functional sense of humor. I suggest reformatting and reincarnation.
[02:41] <aladdine> Jordan_U,  wats dat channel
[02:41] <aladdine> ubuntu-effects
[02:41] <jeffferrari> bucket: if your problems are only with the wifi card, blacklist both ndiswrapper and bcm43xx
[02:41] <jeffferrari> system should boot
[02:41] <Bucket> The problems aren't only with my wifi card.
[02:41] <Jordan_U> aladdine, Yes
[02:41] <Bucket> It appears to be WiFi in general.
[02:41] <Bucket> Not wifi
[02:41] <blix> ntfsprogs appears to be another package
[02:41] <Jordan_U> trypglyph, Your not being funny either
[02:41] <trypglyph> Jordan_U: seriously though, I have hardware with a BCM4318 chipset, it's the most evil satanic soulsuckingly difficult piece of hardware to get working that you'll ever encounter.
[02:41] <Bucket> Linux*
[02:42] <spleencheesmonke> do you need to use a firewall in ubuntu feisty?
[02:42] <trypglyph> Jordan_U: I'm being plenty funny, I'm trying to heal the pain of 4 months of hacking that damn chip into working.
[02:42] <jeffferrari> trypglyph: agreed. I'm using bcm4310
[02:42] <tony_tomato> ziroday, i get "No rule to make target" error while trying to build ndiswrapper, am i busted?
[02:42] <trypglyph> and never succeeded for more than one bizarre week of functionality that could never be replicated.
[02:42] <jeffferrari> took me 4 hours of google
[02:42] <trypglyph> hence my purchase of an atheros chipset based PCMCIA card.
[02:43] <trypglyph> jeffferrari: it just never worked, for all intents and purposes.
[02:43] <trypglyph> the particular broadcom chip that my dell uses is evil.
[02:43] <Bucket> Dude, I'm not having a problem with it, MY CARD DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THAT CHIP. So... the problem with linux is that it's broked. It worked the first time I installed it, so if I reformat again it should work right?
[02:43] <bullgard4> Is there a tool available to search in texts of Notes or annotations I have made in Nautilus > Names > <filename> (right-click)> [Property of <filename>]  > tab 'Notes'? (This information is stored in ~/.nautilus/metafiles/<directory-name>.xml)
[02:43] <trypglyph> Bucket, broked? Is english your 4th language, or are you new at this whole "life" thing?
[02:43] <Jordan_U> Bucket, You have yet to explain in what way it is borked.
[02:43] <trypglyph> he means broked, trust me.
[02:43] <AMbrose> I can't backup data w/ DVD dual layer
[02:43] <AMbrose> need help
[02:44] <spleencheesmonke> anyone? do i need i firewall for linux?
[02:44] <Bucket> No, I was attempting to throw some of your humour into my conversation.
[02:44] <Jordan_U> !offtopic | trypglyph
[02:44] <ubotu> trypglyph: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:44] <gvsa123> spleencheesmonke: it's good practice
[02:44] <spleencheesmonke> can you recommend one?
[02:44] <trypglyph> Bucket: well, if that was humor, my apologies.
[02:44] <spleencheesmonke> and i'm behind a router too - does that help?
[02:45] <spleencheesmonke> what about antivirus too?
[02:45] <GNine> i dont advice reformatting as a quick fix
[02:45] <tego> error with install and says The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[02:45] <tego> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
[02:45] <Bucket> Jordan_U, I selected ubuntu from grub, it said "problem with X it's turned off, come back later. problems with bcm43xx it cannot be found"
[02:45] <trypglyph> in terms of pure time efficiency, a reinstall could be quicker than a fix if it solves the problem and you don't have any data laying around that you'd like to keep.
[02:45] <Jordan_U> Bucket, I have never seen an error like that from X, and as you know you can ignore the bcm43xx error
[02:46] <Bucket> Indeed.
[02:46] <gvsa123> spleencheesmonke: by my understanding we already have a built in protection: iptables
[02:46] <Jordan_U> Bucket, Does X not start at that point?
[02:46] <Bucket> no
[02:46] <spleencheesmonke> gvsa - for what - firewall or antivirus?
[02:46] <Bucket> IT turns itself off
[02:46] <GNine> yah.. after brakin apart a good system that sounds like a good choice.. but if you did it once .. ull do it twice
[02:46] <Jordan_U> !virus | spleencheesmonke
[02:46] <ubotu> spleencheesmonke: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[02:46] <gvsa123> spleencheesmonke: it's a firewall thingy
[02:46] <Jordan_U> !firewall | spleencheesmonke
[02:46] <ubotu> spleencheesmonke: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[02:47] <Bucket> There aren't any problems with the LiveCD so I'm thinking perhaps some infomation from previous installs is annoying the fresh installs, a reformat would solve these problems :D?
[02:47] <gvsa123> spleencheesmonke: avast works well for me
[02:47] <spleencheesmonke> thanks all. :)
[02:47] <gvsa123> Jordan_U: the default for iptables is that everything is closed right?
[02:48] <Bo3> brb 5M
[02:48] <neumind`> who need antivirus?
[02:48] <Jordan_U> Bucket, Quite possibly, no guarentees though, and I personally prefer to know what went wrong when something breaks, but if you don't then re-installing certainly can't hurt
[02:48] <gvsa123> neumind`: those who share files with windows users... :)
[02:48] <Jordan_U> gvsa123, No, the default is everything is open, but at the same time the default is that nothing is listening :)
[02:49] <gvsa123> Jordan_U: listening?
[02:49] <Bucket> Jordan_U, I have reinstalled, I'm talking about a reformat then a reinstall this time.

[02:50] <tony_tomato> Hi! trying to install  4965AGN wireless card on fiesty 64bit with ndiswrapper 1.43 "netw4x32 : invalid driver!"
[02:50] <tony_tomato> any ideas?
[02:50] <Bucket> I meant reformatting my whole disc, thus eliminating partitions, and reinstalling over the whole disc.
[02:50] <kakaruto> my PC freezes, what wrong with it?
[02:50] <leo_rockw> hey, i have a very weird problem with grub. i added "profile" to menu.lst and now i can't remove it
[02:50] <tego> error with install and says The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled,  i cant reamove it ?
[02:50] <Jordan_U> gvsa123, There are no programs to exploit because by default Ubuntu basically ignores all incoming connections.
[02:50] <GNine> just cuz you want to be able to erase your problems dont make formatting a tool
[02:50] <GNine> :-P
[02:51] <leo_rockw> if i remove "profile" from grub, half my daemons don't start and kde doesn't start either
[02:51] <ziroday> kakaruto: are you stupid or just a plain pain?, theres a massive amount of reason for freezes, info would help
[02:51] <Bucket> GNine, were you talking to me?
[02:51] <GNine> dont matter

[02:52] <zezom> is there any tools to help me get tv out working on my savage 3d card?
[02:52] <leo_rockw> what does exactly adding "profile" to menu.lst do?
[02:52] <GNine> am a bot created to give ubotu emotional support
[02:53] <ziroday> kakaruto: are your kyboard "caps , num lock, scroll lock keys blinking ?
[02:53] <kakaruto> i'm not currently having that problem know, just wanted to know what was the reason
[02:53] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: thanks...
[02:53] <Bucket> I meant reformatting my whole disc, thus eliminating partitions, and reinstalling over the whole disc. This should get rid of all files and stuff being a fresh start like when I originally installed linux and it worked fine.
[02:53] <kakaruto> ziroday yes blinking
[02:53] <ziroday> kakaruto: that is a kernel panic, you can look at your kernel logs or plese give me your hardware information :)
[02:54] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: or after looking at netstat man page, netsat -l is more efficient

[02:59] <antitab> yeah
[02:59] <MrKeuner> yes! thanks guys
[02:59] <Pantozopoulos> MrKeuner: Download http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi to your system32 directory and delete everything else in there

[03:00] <gvsa123> Jordan_U: thanks... :)
[03:00] <Jordan_U> gvsa123, Well there is ICMP, but that just basically means that it will respond to a ping :)
[03:00] <Pantozopoulos> no ignore what geek_ said
[03:00] <MrKeuner> Geek_: thanks, I was aware of that
[03:00] <Pantozopoulos> my name is longer and more fantastic
[03:00] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: basically, if no services are started that are listening, there needs to be a flaw in the network driver to penetrate the system
[03:00] <ziroday> Pantozopoulos: ubuntu offtopic please
[03:00] <antitab> indeed
[03:00] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: makes it just a little difficult

[03:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ops antitab - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:02] <MrKeuner> Geek_: I guess if you choose ext3 as partititon there shouldn't be problem in that, too. can't you choose ext3 when installing?
[03:02] <antitab> lol
[03:02] <antitab> gj
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Thanks
[03:02] <ziroday> thank you PriceChild
[03:02] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: then if you don't have any service that is listening, there can't be a security breach or something?
[03:02] <Jordan_U> !ops
[03:02] <GNine> retarded
[03:02] <PriceChild> GNine, Please don't.
[03:02] <GNine> he was
[03:02] <leo_rockw> i have a very weird problem with grub. i added "profile" to menu.lst and now i can't remove it. if i do half my daemons and kde won't load.
[03:02] <PriceChild> GNine, lets move on.
[03:02] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: very difficult... more likely that someone will break into your house and steal the computer
[03:03] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: and the actual need to have a firewall comes from applications being installed that listen for connections from the outside?
[03:03] <blix> dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[03:03] <Geek_> MrKeuner: te issue is cause wubi installs ubuntu to a disk image, which is mounted by grub. in my experience this was a little fragile, though was easy to back up, and i intend to try a restore process next tie **** happens
[03:03] <blix> how do I unlock dpkg?
[03:03] <Bo3> can i get kool game download link for ubuntu???
[03:03] <Pantozopoulos> blix: sudo chmod 777 -R /
[03:03] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: without those applications, you don't really need a firewall?
[03:03] <blix> thaks Pat
[03:03] <Jordan_U> !ops
[03:03] <MrKeuner> Geek_: if the user likes ubuntu, do they have the chance to erase windows and keep their ubuntu installation?
[03:03] <ubotu> Help! Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, jenda, nixternal, Myrtti, mneptok or Pici
[03:03] <Geek_> blix: its locked how?
[03:03] <PriceChild> Jordan_U, ?
[03:03] <Jordan_U> blix, DO not do that!
[03:03] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: exactly... most intrusions occur by using the application flaws (read: bugs) or the listening services on the target computer
[03:03] <Jack_Sparrow> wubi can really make a mess of a system
[03:03] <troubled> Jordan_U: ?
[03:04] <Geek_> MrKeuner: yeah, the howto on that is linked on the wubi page
[03:04] <PriceChild> arg thanks
[03:04] <Jordan_U> PriceChild, Pantozopoulos
[03:04] <blix> I just did...
[03:04] <Geek_> Jack_Sparrow: in what way?
[03:04] <jamiej> anyone got pulse working with skype.
[03:04] <blix> it didn't allow me to do it anyway
[03:04] <Geek_> lol
[03:04] <Hobbsee> blix: you're running dpkg somewhere else - or apt, or aptitude, or synaptic, or adept
[03:04] <GNine> i used wubi.  am still here
[03:04] <Bo3> jordan_u:can u send me a link for good games for ubuntu
[03:04] <Jordan_U> PriceChild, I would watch antitab also
[03:04] <Geek_> he forgot you need tp run it as root
[03:04] <MrKeuner> Geek_: thanks, and lastly and do users have the chance to import their settings and files into ubuntu?
[03:04] <Jordan_U> !games | Bo3
[03:04] <Hobbsee> Bo3: look in the repositories
[03:04] <ubotu> Bo3: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[03:04] <blix> Hobbsee: Let me check.
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Geek_: I will try to find the link.
[03:04] <Geek_> MrKeuner: no idea i'm afraid, i did it on a fresh system when i was testing something
[03:05] <blix> so if I wanted to install ntfs-3g...how do I do it with dpkg
[03:05] <blix> dpkg -i ntfs-3g appears to fail
[03:05] <Jordan_U> blix, You mean apt-get?
[03:05] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: interesting... aren't services designated certain ports only? meaning those ports are set to be open right? how does the firewall help there? it only allows that and only that service to use that port?
[03:06] <blix> well apt-get or dpkg
[03:06] <Jordan_U> blix, dpkg is for installing packages you have already downloaded
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Geek_: http://thedarkmaster.wordpress.com/2007/08/18/wubi-will-say-goobye-to-microsoft-not-really/
[03:06] <blix> ah right..
[03:06] <blix> then I need apt-get
[03:06] <Jordan_U> !apt > blix
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Geek_: Beyond usless... reaching dangerous
[03:07] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: in windows, there are a dozen (often vulnerable) services that are listening (read open) on several ports. The firewall in this case would prevent direct exposure to those ports
[03:07] <lumoha> hi folks. i am a tribe5 user. Since upgrading my system from feisty to gutsy, i got issues with vmserver. Does anyone here run vmware on gutsy 2.6.22-10?
[03:08] <PriceChild> !gutsy | lumoha
[03:08] <ubotu> lumoha: 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
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> gvsa123:  jeffferrari  A good place to check vulnerabilities is grc.com... do the shields up port scan....
[03:08] <Bo3> ubotu:i have a hardware "e-GeForce FX5200" does ubuntu support it?
[03:08] <GreyGhost> !path
[03:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about path - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:08] <ziroday> b03very likely
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Bo3: YEs
[03:08] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: direct exposure to other apps aside from the one that legitimately has the right to use it?
[03:08] <GreyGhost> !libraries
[03:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libraries - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:09] <GreyGhost> hmm ..
[03:09] <GreyGhost> any idea why /usr/local/lib is not in default lib path?
[03:09] <GNine> !nv Bo3
[03:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nv bo3 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:09] <blix> right, just used apt-get to download ntfs-3g...and that cannot be found...arrgh
[03:09] <SuPeRhAm> [23:08]  <Bo3> ubotu:i have a hardware "e-GeForce FX5200" does ubuntu support it? - i may not be ubotu, but i know any nvidia based card is support in ubuntu
[03:09] <GNine> !nv  | Bo3
[03:09] <ubotu> Bo3: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:09] <oDesk> how i add /opt/lampp/bin/  to be considered as system PATH
[03:09] <gvsa123> Jack_Sparrow: thanks. i also tried one of the other services, but that wasn't it though... thanks.
[03:09] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: no avoiding direct exposure from the internet - agreed with jack, grc's port scanner is excellent
[03:10] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:10] <Bo3> Jack_Sparrow: 2 more thing does it support "sound blaster audigy"
[03:10] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: also google nmap
[03:10] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: i see.. i'll give that a try now. thanks again.
[03:10] <GNine> !sound
[03:10] <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
[03:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware > Bo3:
[03:10] <chendo``> uh
[03:11] <chendo``> anyone have a clue what the whole Debconf/Log.pm did not return a true value, blah blah, compilation failed in require at /usr/share/debconf/frontend etc
[03:11] <bulmer> oDesk: perhaps /etc/login.defs
[03:11] <Bo3> what about "sound blaster audigy" hardware
[03:11] <gvsa123> chendo``: i don't.... lol
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: did you apt-get update ?
[03:12] <blix> OK, I'm desperate to get this fixed...I'm going on vacation in 3 days..
[03:12] <GNine> ur fired
[03:12] <Bo3> ahahah
[03:12] <blix> jack_Sparrow: I just did install
[03:12] <Vlet> Why can't I get into my /media/sda1/documents\ and\ settings\my_username folder? all the user foders inside there are gone when mounted in ubuntu
[03:13] <GreyGhost> anyone with idea about /usr/local/lib ?
[03:13] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: check it out. but it's the basics of how they work that i think i should first understand. :)
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Sorry, I got the impression from your post that the install failed.. sorry, still very eraly am here.
[03:13] <Bo3> ok guys am going 2 installsound blaster audigy hardware and geforce. if everything goes good then ill be backin chat room
[03:13] <leo_rockw> Vlet, are you using capitals where needed?
[03:13] <blix> jack_Sparrow: thats ok, update appears to be updating
[03:14] <nandemonai> Vlet: What filesystem and are you sure your mounting correctly?
[03:14] <oDesk> bulmer: thanks
[03:14] <blix> I guess I should apt-get install now right?>
[03:14] <Vlet> leo_rockw: Yes.
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Wasn't there some other part to that tool like.  ntfs-tools or config?
[03:14] <Vlet> nandemonai: I'm using only what ubuntu 7.04 does by default
[03:14] <GNine> smart choice for a start
[03:15] <blix> I have no idea...I just need linux to write to an ntfs partioned drive
[03:15] <nandemonai> Vlet: I ment the windows drive, NTFS or FAT? Not that it should really matter just that you wont be able to safely write to NTFS.
[03:15] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: if you're really interested in networking, google for router and bridge definitions
[03:15] <web_knows> hi :)
[03:15] <blix> E: Couldn't find package config
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: apt-get ntfs-config
[03:15] <blix> ok...jack...let me try that
[03:15] <Vlet> nandemonai: ahh :) ntfs... I'm only using ubuntu's ro mounting... if you think installing the rw abilities will give me access to those folders, I will
[03:15] <leo_rockw> nandemonai, i've been writing to ntfs no problem
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Which is why I like synaptic.... for searching
[03:16] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: ok that will make things faster... i started with networking which took me way way back to basics. :)
[03:16] <nandemonai> leo_rockw: I still dont trust it is all ;) Vlet: That shouldn't be ness. Is it just that dir that's not showing correctly?
[03:16] <henkdetank> is there an easy way to change the owner of a folder and ALL files and folders inside it????
[03:17] <nandemonai> henkdetank: man chmod
[03:17] <gnomefreak> henkdetank: man chmod i think its -r
[03:17] <Vlet> nandemonai: yes. Everything else shows up correctly (perhaps ubuntu's ntfs tries to respect ntfs permissions?) except the user folders
[03:17] <gnomefreak> or -R
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Are you... apt-get install ntfs-3g    or apt-get ntfs-3g   ... sorry still sleepy here
[03:17] <henkdetank> chmod /help for explanation?
[03:17] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: na way faster - read about the tcp/ip stack as well... you should understand how each device interacts with the data crossing it
[03:17] <henkdetank> and, should i run that as sudo or gksudo?
[03:18] <blix> jack..thats ok, I appreciate the assistance. At the moment I'm in synaptic
[03:18] <roham> is their any compiz channel?
[03:18] <Jordan_U> henkdetank, gksudo is only needed for GUI apps
[03:18] <blix> jack: I'm searching for ntfs
[03:18] <blix> jack; and there are alot of tools
[03:18] <nandemonai> Vlet: Hmm that's a good point though I doubt it. Try a $ sudo ls /finikydir/ if you follow me, see if root can read it.
[03:18] <roland__> ubuntu really sucks for people who want a reliable os
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Just those two 3g    and config
[03:19] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: thanks again...
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: brb
[03:19] <Jordan_U> blix, Search in Add/Remove or search for "ntfs-config" either way you will only get one result
[03:19] <nandemonai> henkdetank: You'll hate me, maybe but.. in a term type: man man and start reading ;)
[03:19] <blix> ntfs-config doesnt exist
[03:19] <blix> I downloadsed ntfstools instead
[03:19] <Jordan_U> blix, No, not the same
[03:19] <blix> so where is this ntfsconfig
[03:20] <henkdetank> i wont hate u
[03:20] <nandemonai> henkdetank: And in regard to changing permission yes you will need to sudo it if you're changing perms your normal user can't access.
[03:20] <henkdetank> i installed ubuntu yesterday and never used commandline before
[03:20] <Jordan_U> blix, go to Applications -> Add / Remove
[03:20] <Kerttuli_> how can i make my resolution higher in ubuntu than what the screen ersolution dropdown menu has to offer?
[03:20] <henkdetank> okidoki
[03:20] <erUSUL> !fixres | Kerttuli_
[03:20] <ubotu> Kerttuli_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:20] <blix> jordan_C: yeah done
[03:20] <blix> then?
[03:20] <Jordan_U> blix, Select " show all available applications " then search for ntfs
[03:20] <jeffferrari> henkdetank: sudo chown -R newowner:newgroup
[03:20] <nandemonai> henkdetank: Okies. Good luck and welcome to linux then ;) Takes a while but well worth it in the end.
[03:20] <henkdetank> i think i got it thanks
[03:21] <GNine> !chown | henkdetank
[03:21] <ubotu> henkdetank: 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
[03:21] <henkdetank> so far it is
[03:21] <henkdetank> hehe thanks all!
[03:21] <gvsa123> ahhh... the baby is calling.. no time to read. thanks a lot guys!
[03:22] <GNine> chown command can give you ownership of folder/files across partitions
[03:22] <blix> I still don't see this ntfs-config
[03:22] <Jordan_U> blix, It should be called " NTFS Configuration Tool"
[03:23] <blix> mmm, let me check
[03:23] <roland__> ubuntu sucks
[03:23] <Jordan_U> blix, Unless you aren't running 7.04,  ( it should be the only result for NTFS )
[03:23] <blix> I'm not running 7.04
[03:23] <GNine> PriceChild, kick roland..
[03:23] <GNine> >:)
[03:23] <NemesisUK> roland__, explain why it sucks
[03:24] <blix> I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
[03:24] <Jordan_U> blix, Ahh, ntfs-config is not available pre-7.04 :)
[03:24] <neumind`> wher i can find total commander tutorial?
[03:24] <blix> ahhh!
[03:24] <dressed_in_black> I think that should be sent to -offtopic
[03:24] <blix> lol
[03:24] <kakaruto> roland__ yeah
[03:24] <nandemonai> Don't Feed the Trolls.
[03:24] <blix> what's an alternative then?
[03:24] <roland__> NemesisUK: because its linux inside (btm)
[03:24] <roland__> and crap gnome over it
[03:24] <blix> I appear to have other ntfs installed in the system
[03:24] <GNine> roland, simmer down or die hard
[03:24] <NemesisUK> lol, so which fanboi are you Mac or windows

[03:29] <leo_rockw> blix, there are actually really good linux games. not many, tho
[03:29] <msound> hi all... im looking for some help in setting up the sound in my new laptop. its an acer 4520 and from what i understand it has an nvidia sound chipset. when i enter "aplay -l" i get both the sound card and the modem listed as card 0. is that the problem? any help will be really appreciated. thank you :)
[03:29] <bullgard4> Is there a tool available to search in texts of Notes or annotations I have made in Nautilus > Names > <filename> (right-click)> [Property of <filename>]  > tab 'Notes'? (This information is stored in ~/.nautilus/metafiles/<directory-name>.xml)
[03:29] <blix> leo..yeah I'll investigate linux games later
[03:29] <NemesisUK> blix, unfortunately Linux isnt popular enough fir the games programmers to do linux versions,which is a shame as I too would love to get rid of windows
[03:29] <GNine> nvidia sound?  i guess i have some reading to do now
[03:30] <leo_rockw> blix, i've been playing world of padman a lot... if you like fps you may like it
[03:30] <blix> leo..I do like fps
[03:30] <GreyGhost> anyone?? library path ?
[03:30] <blix> I need to get Windows on for C&C3 and mainly before I go on vacation
[03:30] <leo_rockw> blix, openarena, nexwiz, world of padman, tremulus... all very good games
[03:30] <msound> GNine, when i do "asoundconf list" i get name of sound card as NVidia
[03:30] <nandemonai> blix: What sort of hd? ide/sata?
[03:30] <blix> leo..I will certainly investigate.
[03:30] <blix> sata
[03:31] <Falstius> blix: I'm playing lbreakout2 right now, nexuiz is a good fps and battle for wesnoth is addictive.
[03:31] <nandemonai> Ah.. bios mode?
[03:31] <blix> no idea...
[03:31] <leo_rockw> Falstius, battle for wesnoth, of course! awesome game
[03:31] <nandemonai> Windows doesn't find the hd right?
[03:31] <blix> I just need Windows to recognise the drive.
[03:31] <GNine> more power to ya, i didnt know there was an nvidia sound card out
[03:31] <blix> nandemonai: YES
[03:31] <GreyGhost> !path

[03:32] <leo_rockw> the nvidia card uses an intel chipset (according to alsa)
[03:32] <blix> I kinda screwed things up trying to install Ubuntu over Windows Vista
[03:32] <blix> and now I want Windows XP
[03:32] <Jordan_U> blix, There is an ext driver for windows
[03:32] <blix> and then will dualboot with Ubuntu later
[03:32] <nandemonai> blix: Okies, reboot, go into Bios and check out your sata settings. If you find and change ahci to ide it might help. Know what sort of mobo it is?
[03:32] <msound> thanks leo_rockw, but how am i supposed to configure it for intel sound chipset?
[03:33] <blix> mobo?
[03:33] <blix> ah k
[03:33] <GNine> the route i took was to do a dual boot, then just make ntfs into EXT3 .. that took care of windows and gave me some extra room for ubuntu
[03:33] <nandemonai> blix: I'm just going off what my machine does. (Asus P5B)
[03:33] <leo_rockw> msound, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-intel8x0

[03:34] <nandemonai> blix: Win wont install on sata as ahci, has to be ide as it doesn't have the drivers on the install cd.
[03:34] <nandemonai> blix: Just a guess.
[03:34] <blix> right ok...
[03:34] <blix> I'm on a live CD at the moment
[03:34] <blix> so it's going to take me ages getting back in
[03:34] <blix> so need much info as possible
[03:34] <nandemonai> Okies.
[03:34] <NemesisUK> blix, did you get a floppy disc with your mobo with sata drivers on it?
[03:35] <blix> nope
[03:35] <blix> I'm on a laptop
[03:35] <msound> thanks leo_rockw ... lemme try that
[03:35] <blix> I didn't make recovery disks
[03:35] <leo_rockw> i was trying to speed up my boot time and i added "profile" to menu.lst. now boot is VERY slow and removing "profile" causes half my daemons not to load. any help?
[03:35] <NemesisUK> ok tell you mobo model and we can find em
[03:35] <blix> well I've got a Vaio FZ18L
[03:35] <kauer> GrayGhost: What do you actually want to know?
[03:35] <nandemonai> Actually yeah I gotta scoot for a few mins, gl blix.
[03:35] <NemesisUK> *you/your
[03:35] <blix> ok thanks nanda
[03:36] <blix> BRB
[03:36] <NemesisUK> k
[03:36] <GreyGhost> kauer , why my libs in /usr/local/lib are not being detected .. i have to add LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make a few apps work ..
[03:38] <kauer> GreyGhost: "man ldconfig" sounds like what you want.
[03:38] <iratik> How do i see the processor info from the command line
[03:38] <GreyGhost> kauer , ok thanks :)
[03:38] <NemesisUK> cat /proc/cpuinfo
[03:43] <Bucket> join #defocus
[03:43] <Bucket> shat
[03:43] <Bucket> oh well.
[03:43] <Bucket> Anyway, amarok doesn't work still.
[03:43] <Bucket> Going to back up files and reformat.
[03:43] <Bucket> the whole HD.
[03:44] <cox377> can anyone point me in the right direction to making an bootable floppy equivelent to making one under windows?
[03:44] <cox377> so i can boot from CD
[03:45] <NemesisUK> iratik, cat /proc/cpuinfo posted again as i didnt know if you saw it the first time
[03:45] <GNine> !boot | cox377
[03:45] <ubotu> cox377: 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
[03:47] <branstrom> Hmm... X crashes every time I do compiz --replace, no matter if I'm root or not
[03:47] <cox377> GNine: i dont actually want to install ubuntu unfortunatly, but i've only got ubuntu machines - so i need to make one so i can then boot from a windows cd - would that cover it?
[03:47] <lnx> how i can cancel all the veirtual terminal and left only 2 ?
[03:47] <GreyGhost> kauer , i ran ldconfig but didnt help much ..
[03:47] <branstrom> I've used amaranths repository
[03:48] <GNine> same issue here with compiz. my solution: wait for a stable version to come out
[03:48] <GNine> :-P
[03:49] <GNine> you have some reading to do ahead of you cox377
[03:49] <Chinaski1> hello  everybody
[03:49] <cox377> haha
[03:49] <cox377> GNine: cheers
[03:50] <leo_rockw> hello Chinaski1
[03:51] <Frogzoo> lnx:  /etc/event.d/tty3
[03:51] <Chinaski1> does anyone menaged to get to work the file sharing beetween ubuntu and win xp?
[03:51] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, yes
[03:52] <GNine> !samba | Chinaski1
[03:52] <ubotu> Chinaski1: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[03:52] <anzan> !botsnack
[03:52] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[03:52] <leo_rockw> yum, lol
[03:53] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, have you installed the samba package?
[03:53] <Chinaski1> how to access my shared folder in ubuntu from win xp? win xp asks for a log/pass that i did not specified in ubuntu shared folder
[03:53] <Chinaski1> yes i have samba package installed
[03:54] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, ah type sudo smbpasswd -a username to add a user and password for filesharing
[03:54] <kauer> GreyGhost: Don't just run it. Read the man page, think about itm=, then configure your libraries how you need them.
[03:54] <GNine> maybe there is no password
[03:54] <Skrypt> Can someone recommend a good FTP client for Ubuntu?
[03:54] <GreyGhost> kauer , ok .. thanks
[03:54] <ashu19> I have a Ubuntu quiet splash screen problem, can anyone help me?
[03:54] <kauer> Skryot: Um - "ftp"?
[03:55] <Skrypt> File Transfer Protocol, client?
[03:55] <GreyGhost> !ask | ashu19
[03:55] <ubotu> ashu19: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:55] <kauer> GreyGhost: If you have a specific question (i.e., you thought you already DID configure it!) let me know...
[03:55] <NemesisUK> gftp Skrypt
[03:55] <nandemonai> Skrypt: GFTP for gnome is ok.
[03:55] <Skrypt> NemesisUK: I need something where I can input my own commands
[03:55] <AcidMaX> anyone know of a good core duo mobo that works with debian systems?
[03:56] <leo_rockw> well... g2g. everybody have a good day/night
[03:56] <GreyGhost> kauer ,ok i'll read properly and try thanks :)
[03:56] <nandemonai> AcidMaX: Asus P5B works fine provided you upgrade the bios.
[03:56] <kauer> GreyGhost: Here is the most important bit of the man page, tells you all you need to know, really: "ldconfig  creates,  updates,  and removes the necessary links and cache (for use by the run-time linker,  ld.so)  to  the  most  recent  shared libraries  found  in  the directories specified on the command line, in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and in the trusted directories (/usr/lib  and /lib).   ldconfig checks the header and file names of the
[03:57] <nandemonai> AcidMaX: Only Core2 board I've tried in Ubuntu though so tis all I can recommend.
[03:57] <GreyGhost> kauer ,yes yes now i'll read the whole thing :) thanks aagin
[03:58] <kauer> GreyGhost: This translates to "put your libraries in /usr/lib or /lib, OR put their locations in /etc/ld.so.conf OR specify the library you want added on the command line"
[03:58] <Falstius> AcidMaX: I have a P5N-sli that works fine (once I added an option to the sound module to get the front audio working).  Its not the board I would have bought for myself though (I don't need SLI)
[03:58] <GreyGhost> kauer ok thanks
[03:58] <Chinaski1> when i connect using mac os x or another linux machine i am able to reach shared folder without any user/pass. I experience this problem only with win xp. What if i add a username/pass , will this username/pass be required in any filesharing sessions(also using linux - linux or OSX-linux)?
[03:59] <Skrypt> NemesisUK: and I need to connect with TLS too
[03:59] <branstrom> GNine: so what graphics card do you have?
[03:59] <genii> AcidMaX: 7.04 worked for me so far on several Asus boards with socket 775
[03:59] <branstrom> and how long do you guys think it takes before 0.6.0 is out, the stable version?
[03:59] <kauer> GreyGhost: No, don't go away! Come back, and I'll read to you some more! Covering your ears won't help! Sit still! Now....
[03:59] <GNine> nvidia chipset
[03:59] <branstrom> like, months?
[03:59] <branstrom> yeah, I've got nvidia too, GF6800
[04:00] <nandemonai> Chinaski1: Samba needs it's own user/pass nfs etc use unix users. Take a look at smbpassword.
[04:00] <dwxreaper> whats a remote desktop like software for ubuntu server
[04:01] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: vnc?
[04:01] <dwxreaper> nandermonai: does anything come default, i want a command shell and remote gui
[04:01] <genii> dwxreaper: There are a few. vnc is most common, also there is freenx (you need manula install for it, or from Seveas' repo)
[04:01] <GNine> maybe youre not in the same workgroup
[04:02] <genii> dwxreaper: For remote shell, ssh
[04:02] <dwxreaper> genii: okay ssh by default?
[04:02] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: I'd suggest ssh for cli and vnc/freenx for gui.
[04:02] <dwxreaper> i'm not really worried about security because i'm blocking access from everything
[04:02] <NemesisUK> Skrypt, you could use gftp + ftp-ssl and if im correct gftp should allow you to send you own commands
[04:03] <dwxreaper> but i need to manage the server, vnc and hopefully ssh will by default give me a command shell
[04:03] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: You could always look into X forwarding via SSH.
[04:03] <kauer> dwxreaper: Wll, you generally don't need one - you can run anything you need as an X client, securely via an ssh tunnel or in an ssh terminal window. But if you really want to have lots of unnecessary software on your server, open your server to a whole new class of attack, and administer your server as slowly as possible, go look and the many VNC variants available for Linux :-)
[04:03] <branstrom> GNine: what repo were you using?
[04:03] <genii> dwxreaper: on a server install ssh server should be on by default. if not you can apt-get install openssh-server
[04:03] <AcidMaX> what about intel chipset boards?
[04:03] <nandemonai> kauer makes some very valid points
[04:04] <nandemonai> ;)
[04:04] <IrishDave> hey, does anyone know of better programs for viewing photos on ubuntu? the default thumbnailer for nautilus is pretty slow and so is Eye of Gnome
[04:04] <dwxreaper> kauer: you mean forward the vnc traffic through ssh?
[04:04] <dwxreaper> i want remote control of the server through a gui, that's what i want
[04:04] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: Nope you can forward X stuff via ssh and run X programs that way. Much more secure.
[04:04] <kauer> dwxreaper: If you do "ssh -X me@server" and log in, you can then run any X program installed on your server, and the window will appear on your local machine.
[04:05] <GNine> for nvidia i use ...-glx-new
[04:05] <dwxreaper> oh, what do you mean X program, what does "x program" limit me to, some program i can't run?
[04:05] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: Much faster than vnc too I might add.
[04:05] <kauer> dwxreaper: No I didn't mean tunneling VNC, though tunneling is a very, very good idea if you absolutely insist on running VNC.
[04:05] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: X basically means GUI. IE the X-Server.
[04:06] <kauer> dwxreaper: I mean that any program you can run on th eserver - any program installed on the server - can either be run in a simple terminal window (if it is a text program) or can be run as an X client (if it's an X program). X = X-windows)
[04:06] <greg> Hi. Does anyone know why my installation cd can't find a Release file?
[04:06] <Chinaski1> nandemonai, NemesisUK: when i say filesharing i mean the same shared folder over samba protocol. so the username/pass i will give to this sharing will be requested everytime i connect to it, from any kind of O.S.
[04:06] <IrishDave> dwxreaper: try it and see, what they are telling you works really well, i use it all the time to use programs i dont have a licence to use at home off a machine from work that i can use ssh to access
[04:06] <greg> the md5sums match
[04:07] <Cryoniq> profanephobia, any integer data 0 to 255 you can use with tinyint
[04:07] <IrishDave> hey, does anyone know of better programs for viewing photos on ubuntu? the default thumbnailer for nautilus is pretty slow and so is Eye of Gnome
[04:07] <dwxreaper> kauer: does the program run on the server or the client, it sounds like the program runs on the client where you ssh from
[04:07] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, yes it'll request a passwd
[04:07] <Falstius> IrishDave: I like xv
[04:07] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: It runs from the server and displays locally.
[04:07] <c1|freaky> how to generate a new apache certificate if the old one has expired
[04:07] <kauer> dwxreaper: here is a simple example: "ssh -X me@server xclock" That will run xclock *on the remote machine* but the clock will be displayed *locally on your machine*.
[04:08] <IrishDave> Falstius: any idea what the install package is?
[04:08] <Falstius> xloadimage
[04:08] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: In otherwords it transfers all the ness gui info onto the client and the clients displays it essentially.
[04:08] <NemesisUK> but you could add each machines user to the linux box and then the passwd wouldnt be asked for
[04:08] <kauer> dwxreaper: Th eprogram runs on the server, the display is shown on your local machine. And best of all, it's all encrypted, so you can type in passwords etc if you have to, and they do not appear in cleartext on the network.
[04:08] <Falstius> IrishDave: xloadimage (does it suggest that if you just type xv at the prompt?)
[04:08] <branstrom> GNine: no I meant for compiz fusion
[04:09] <dwxreaper> kauer: yeah sounds good, i'm not worried about security, but that's good to know. we have switches here
[04:09] <IrishDave> nope
[04:09] <IrishDave> but i got it installed now
[04:09] <GreyGhost> kauer , thanks for all the help done !!! :)
[04:09] <dwxreaper> i'll see how this works out, using this "x thing" and just using the command shell, seems great actually
[04:09] <kauer> dwxreaper: What you just said sounded extremely misguided. Do you think that switches prevent your cnetwork conversations being listened to ?!?
[04:10] <kauer> GreyGhost: Goodo.
[04:10] <Cryoniq> Anyone running ubuntu with on the fly encryption on storage disks or so and can tell if it works good?
[04:10] <dwxreaper> kauer: yeah they do actually..
[04:10] <zpertee> when I try to control the volume I get this "no volume control Gstreamer plugins and/or devices found
[04:10] <GreyGhost> kauer , and i learnt a  lesson too :) RTFM
[04:10] <GNine> i installed every single needed package ... it still ended up crashing my xserver costing me 2 hours of tinkering to get it back
[04:10] <hollowlife1987> dwxreaper, you can still sniff on a switched network just a *tad* bit harder
[04:11] <GreyGhost> bbl
[04:11] <Chinaski1> so that's the only way to get a winxp pc access to sharing in ubuntu. bit boring,since neither linux nor mac osx requested username/pass
[04:11] <genii> c1|freaky: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/httpd.html
[04:11] <dwxreaper> no it's not, arp redirection and flooding the switch don't work with new IOS images and default configurations
[04:11] <kauer> dwxreaper: Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they only stop someone with no access to the physical network, and then only if they can't hack a switch or a router. If you are eg in a dormitory or shared building, anyone with five minutes and a crimping tool can tap any connection.
[04:11] <GNine> btw.. i didnt do fusion .. just the compiz version
[04:11] <genii> c1|freaky: Skip down to the part on making a sef signed certificate
[04:11] <genii> *self
[04:11] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, are the workgroups the same for the windows machines and nix machines
[04:11] <c1|freaky> thx ;D
[04:11] <doug_> why is it when i do sudo nautilus this shows up in the term ALSA lib conf.c:3968:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
[04:11] <dwxreaper> kauer: i'm not worried
[04:12] <branstrom> GNine: I used amaranth's repository (compiz fusion)
[04:12] <dwxreaper> this is in a DC anyways
[04:12] <Cryoniq> kauer, so true
[04:12] <Chinaski1> how to check on linux?
[04:12] <branstrom> I'm just gonna keep trying different things until I get it working
[04:12] <kauer> dwxreaper: Ignorance is bliss, but ssh is your friend. Listen to people who actually know what they are talking about, and USE ENCRYPTION.
[04:12] <Cryoniq> Chinaski1, you mean try Ubuntu Linux?
[04:12] <ashu18> DOES ANYONE HELP HERE?
[04:12] <dwxreaper> kauer: i k now what i'm talking about, as i said, you can't sniff the switches here..
[04:13] <GNine> however.. talkin about desktop effect has been reported offtopic before
[04:13] <GNine> in here
[04:13] <nandemonai> !ask | ashu18
[04:13] <ubotu> ashu18: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:13] <Chinaski1> nono, how to check samba workgroup on linux
[04:13] <genii> ashu18: It's better to say first what problem you have, then if someone knows how to help they usually will.
[04:13] <IrishDave> any others Falstius? i really want faster programs to replace those i mentioned but have similar functionality, i think gThumb looks nice so far
[04:14] <Cryoniq> dwxreaper, you can sniff switches by assimilating MAC adresses for what you want to sniff actually unless a MAC adress is tied to the physical port only.
[04:14] <ashu18> nandemonai: i have been the same question again and again for three days now, with NO response....so please don't make that ubotu thing advise me
[04:14] <Falstius> IrishDave: xv is actually very powerful.  It just doesn't have the pretty interface :)
[04:14] <nandemonai> Chinaski1: in the Shared Folders app should be an options to set workgroup.
[04:14] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, sudo nano -w /etc/samba/smb.conf
[04:14] <nandemonai> ashu18: What's the question then?
[04:14] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1,  it's in there
[04:14] <grubby> hi, anyone here figure out how to get a dell laptop to resume from sleep?
[04:14] <IrishDave> Falstius: as much as i love using the command line for most stuff, i like the pretty interface for picture viewing :)
[04:15] <GNine> give it a kiss
[04:15] <ashu18> nandemonai: i have a problem with the ubuntu quiet splash
[04:15] <Robert123321> hi i'm trying to run a script file and i get an error that says that i cannot make a diretory in /usr/local "Permission denied" how do i fix this
[04:15] <nandemonai> ashu18: Okies, What's it doing? I'll help if I can.
[04:15] <ashu18> nandemonai: it doesn't show up during start up and shut down
[04:15] <ashu18> i mean the ubuntu name, logo and progress bar
[04:15] <Chinaski1> it's MSHOME
[04:15] <grubby> Robert123321: sudo <script>
[04:15] <doug_> Robert123321,  do u do sudo
[04:16] <doug_> ok all when ido sudo nautilus i get this error ALSA lib conf.c:3968:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device
[04:16] <doug_> ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
[04:16] <grubby> Reobert123321: that area is owned by root
[04:16] <ashu18> nandemonai: during start up i have to press ctrl +alt + f4 to start normal booting
[04:16] <kauer> dwxreaper: For your sake I hope so. Quite frankly, unless you are in some kind of hardened facility, you do NOT know what you are talking about. And if you ARE in some kind of hardened facility, expect to get fired when your boss learns about your attitude to security ;-) I guess you'll figure it out the same way most people figure out backups - you'll get burned, it will all suddenly make sense, and you'll be sadder, but wiser (and your dat
[04:16] <nandemonai> ashu18: In your /boot/grub/menu.lst is splash on the end of the kernel line your booting?
[04:16] <ashu18> yeah it's there
[04:17] <nandemonai> hmm
[04:17] <ashu18> otherwise, the normal booting should have started automatically....
[04:17] <kauer> what touching faith some people have.
[04:17] <dwxreaper> kauer: stfu you idiot, cryoniq doesn't know what's he's talking about either. when you get the same mac on two ports the switch bugs out or throws error disabled
[04:17] <grubby> to put it another way, is there a special channel for ubuntu on laptops?
[04:17] <dwxreaper> all of which you would see in log
[04:17] <jeffferrari> I think dwxreaper was referring to cisco IOS managed switches being able to detect and report arp poisoning
[04:17] <Chinaski1> k i'll add a user/pass since i use this sharing on multiple networks and it would be be boring to change workgroup every time...
[04:17] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, change it to whatever the windows machines are on
[04:18] <ashu18> nandemonai: any ideas?
[04:18] <jeffferrari> they then report hte port address and you walk down to see who is playing funny games
[04:18] <nandemonai> ashu18: is usplash and usplash-theme-ubuntu installed?
[04:18] <ashu18> nandemonai: one of my friend says that it could be monitor sync problem, but i have windows as well and i don't face any problems with that
[04:18] <ashu18> nandemonai: what's usplash?
[04:18] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, Probably WORKGROUP after change it do sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[04:19] <ashu18> nandemonai: the settings are default, so the splash should come, aint?
[04:19] <age6racer> hi all, is it possible to log in as sudo with one command (something like) sudo passwd foo
[04:19] <aman2007> can anybody help me plz
[04:19] <jeffferrari> sudo su
[04:19] <nandemonai> ashu18: That's the app responsible for the splash. Your friend may have a point, it could be trying a rate your monitor doesn't support but it should bug out and tell you so..
[04:19] <Bucket> aman2007, problem?
[04:19] <GNine> !root
[04:19] <Blauhaut> !ask | aman2007
[04:19] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[04:19] <grubby> age6racer: you need to set a password for root to enable sudo (root) login: sudo passwd root
[04:19] <defias> hey sup, can anyone help me get a file on a read-only hdd?
[04:19] <ubotu> aman2007: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:19] <nandemonai> ashu18: Yes, default install it should..
[04:20] <ashu18> nandemonai: i had ubuntu 7.04 previously too and it ran ok
[04:20] <aman2007> Bucket i need to setup an internet connection in ubuntu7.04
[04:20] <aman2007> Bucket but i m not able to do so
[04:20] <Bucket> there is plenty of stuff in google for that.
[04:20] <kauer> dwxreaper: Keep your shirt on :-) Your data will live longer if you accept that there are more things between heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy. All I can do is warn you that you should be more careful, and not, ever, let a password fly in clear across your network. But you don't have to pay attention, and don't seem to want to, so I will leave it at that. You might like to think about how a bridge works, or a data tap.
[04:20] <Bucket> Ubuntu forums.
[04:20] <Chinaski1> then the strange thing is that in winxp i can't log in to my sharing leaving the username and password blank, windows expects that i type something and once i do it activates the connect button,,
[04:21] <genii> age6racer: To be able to use sudo without always requiring a password you can edit /etc/sudoers for this. But it is not recommended.
[04:21] <ashu18> nandemonai: it's happening after i got back my original motherboard and removed the stand by one
[04:21] <zuez> Is it a painful process to update from 'dapper' to 'feisty'?
[04:21] <nandemonai> ashu18: Hmm, might be a gusty issue then? (I assume that's what your on?)
[04:21] <defias> can anyone plz help me get a file on a read-only hdd...._
[04:21] <MGPalmer> Heya, I've got a problem setting up an Ubuntu Box so I can use VNC to remotely control it (from a windows machine), and i followed this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?mode=hybrid&t=122402 . I can connect to Ubuntu with UltraVNC, but I dont get a login screen. After Enabling xdmcp and reloading gdm, the VNC connection just terminates. Anybody know whats wrong ?
[04:21] <aman2007> Bucket see this link u will understand my problem better https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/12262
[04:21] <nandemonai> ashu18: Ahh plot thickens..
[04:21] <kauer> dwxreaper: But if you want to use VNC, plenty of people here can help you, it's quite popular.
[04:21] <ashu18> nandemonai: nope i have feisty
[04:21] <nandemonai> ashu18: hmm okies..
[04:21] <age6racer> All i want to do is use irexec to shutdown the pc. I need to issue the command in one go. I can't be prompted for a passowrd as it defeats the purpose of using a remote control. any ideas?
[04:22] <ashu18> nandemonai: i hate beta s
[04:22] <dwxreaper> kauer: if your in the DC might as well smash the server with a hammer, whatever, nothing has happened, nothing is going to happen
[04:22] <dwxreaper> in the rare event that it does, i don't fucking care

[04:22] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:22] <nandemonai> ashu18: I'd say it deff is to do with the mobo swap. Me I've never tried something that big, generally re-install.
[04:22] <ashu18> nandemonai: it's not a big issue, because rest of ubuntu apparently runs ok
[04:22] <GNUtoo> hello, i have upgraded from edgy to feisty manualy because the gui way didn't work and now i have a screen with the ubuntu walpaper and nothing else(no gnome)...how should i restore the normal behaviour?
[04:22] <Bucket> I didn't necessarily ask you to ask the question because I could answer it, just once you ask it instead of asking to ask it, someone can help.
[04:23] <ashu18> nandemonai: still i would rather have everything running perfect
[04:23] <nandemonai> ashu18: I know what you mean.
[04:23] <aman2007> Bucket do u really know how to solve the problem
[04:23] <aman2007> ?
[04:23] <nandemonai> ashu18: Hmm..
[04:23] <GNUtoo> and i don't know how does the xinit process work in ubuntu...
[04:23] <defias> can anyone tell me how to get a file on a ntfs hdd, which is read-only... It should be somehow possible through root
[04:23] <age6racer> so how about a shutdown script?
[04:23] <Robert123321> "ERROR: Grant write permissions for /usr/local/" how do i do this
[04:23] <aman2007> Bucket r u there?
[04:23] <Bucket> I have never had to connect a wired connection like that, however I did manage to get my WiFi working through looking on goolge, just do a search and I'm sure in Ubuntu forums or something there is a How To
[04:23] <abhi> where I can find the debian package of babytrans-dictionary?
[04:24] <nandemonai> ashu18: Trying something here, give me a sec.
[04:24] <ashu18> nandemonai: i would gladly kick out windows and do a complete ubuntu install, but with all these flaws...

[04:24] <ashu18> nandemonai: ok
[04:24] <aman2007> Bucket WiFi?
[04:24] <kauer> age6racer: Sorry, I missed the beginning of this thread re irexec. Tell me what you want to do again?
[04:25] <Robert123321> nbkr: can you elaborate more ...srry new to linux
[04:25] <aman2007> Bucket WiFi?
[04:25] <bernard__> is xchat available for Ubuntu Gutsy?

[04:25] <nandemonai> Hmm okies. Can anyone see a problem with doing a dpkg-reconfigure usplash ? Dont wanna suggest something unwise but worked here..
[04:25] <ubotu> defias: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[04:26] <defias> yes.. thank you... i hope it works..
[04:26] <age6racer> I want to shutdown the pc with irexec but I need to be root. I was thinking either put the password into the original command or use some sort of script?
[04:26] <Bucket> aman2007, are you trying to set up a wifi connection or a wired connection?
[04:26] <abhi> age6racer: use sudo -i
[04:26] <GNUtoo> and gnome-session doesn't want to install....mabe that's the problem....
[04:27] <nandemonai> ashu18: Well I just did a dpkg-reconfigure usplash here and mine is still working. Unless anyone suggests against it I'd try that.
[04:27] <nbkr> Robert123321, What application demands write access to /usr/local/ ?
[04:27] <brit> Good morning.
[04:27] <ashu18> nandemonai: u mean i should try it too?
[04:27] <kauer> age6racer: Do you need to do this remotely, or locally (in a console or terminal)?
[04:27] <ashu18> nandemonai: i am a complete dork in linux, so i ll want detailed instructions...
[04:28] <nandemonai> ashu18: Unless someone can give you a reason not too.. I just hate suggesting things that work around the boot level. It can be easy to stop a system booting.

[04:28] <age6racer> as far as I know irexec will work with a console comand
[04:28] <roland_^> hi
[04:28] <abhi> where I can find the debian package of babytrans-dictionary?
[04:28] <nandemonai> ashu18: If your willing to take the risk, sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash in a term and then reboot.
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> nandemonai: I came in late.. are you talking about changing the mbr ?
[04:28] <doug_> ashu18,  have u googled it yet u might find ur answer there or on the ubuntu forums
[04:29] <ashu18> Frogzoo: thanks, but i know already
[04:29] <roland_^> ubuntu sucks ass
[04:29] <nandemonai> Jack_Sparrow: Nope, just trying to fix usplash.
[04:29] <kauer> age6racer: Yes, but do you need to shutdown a machine you can physically reach out and touch, or a machine somewhere else on the internet?
[04:29] <ashu18> nandemonai: ok i am doing it

[04:29] <Frogzoo> roland_^: heh, ok that will do
[04:29] <age6racer> one I can touch. But the point is that I don't want to
[04:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Thanks
[04:30] <Jack_Sparrow> nandemonai: Did you look at boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:30] <kauer> age6racer: So that means you want to execute a command on machine A that will (by whatever means) shut down machine B. Is that right?
[04:30] <nandemonai> Jack_Sparrow: yeah the usplash refs are there.
[04:30] <sudobash> gonzalez is gone... YAY!
[04:31] <ashu18> nandemonai: should i reboot now?
[04:31] <abhi> how can I activate windows key to be used as the shortcut key?
[04:31] <jeffferrari> kauer: nice gaining agreement statement :) looks like you work in support
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> nandemonai: Never seen that one... thanks..
[04:31] <nandemonai> ashu18: Go for it, hope it fixed it.
[04:31] <age6racer> Kauer: No. I want to shut down machine A
[04:31] <Falstius> age6racer: you could add shutdown to the sudoers file to not require a password.
[04:31] <ashu18> nandemonai: ok, keep ur fingers crossed...
[04:31] <Hobbsee> elkbuntu: that guy's on a proxy
[04:31] <age6racer> where is the sudoers file?

[04:31] <age6racer> thanks

[04:32] <jeffferrari> locate sudoers
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: I just switched mine to alt-e
[04:32] <CharlieSu> jeffferrari: slocate :)
[04:32] <Falstius> age6racer: you should read man sudoers to get an idea of how to edit the file (and be very careful with it)
[04:32] <elkbuntu> Hobbsee, we'll just have to hit them as they come then
[04:32] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow, how do you add the shortcut to nautilus?

[04:33] <jeffferrari> Kerttuli_: in the shell
[04:33] <erUSUL> Kerttuli_: sudo sh file.sh
[04:34] <kauer> age6racer: You said you didn't want to touch it. It's going to be hard to do that unless you have really powerful mindwaves or something :-) Seriously though, are you talking about running a program on machine A to shut down machine A? If so, you have to either type the command, press a button, or in some other way interact physically with machine A. Anything else is a network job. I'm just trying to figure out whether you need a way to run 
[04:34] <Falstius> Robert123321: what are you trying to do?  Granting blanket write access to /usr/local is probably a bad idea.
[04:34] <ashu19> nandemonai: hmmm....it didn't work
[04:34] <Don64> bernard__: ask in #ubuntu+1

[04:34] <Robert123321> Falstius: well the script im running is installing something to that directory
[04:34] <nbkr> Robert123321, What application needs write permissions on /usr/local/ ?
[04:34] <farshim> Can I run OS X under Ubuntu?
[04:35] <ashu19> nandemonai: :-(
[04:35] <age6racer> kauer: I'm using an Infrared remote control and lirc/irexec. I want to shutdown the pc from my bed.
[04:35] <GNUtoo> i have resolved my problem...i didn't saw 2 lines in the sources.list and so they were kept with the edgy repositories...
[04:35] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: thanks man . I am going to try this.
[04:35] <nandemonai> ashu19: Afraid I'm out of ideas though. So you installed on a diff motherboard? I'm a little confused..
[04:35] <age6racer> so i need a script or command that I can issue that will do this without prompting me for a passowrd (requiring me to get up and type)
[04:35] <nbkr> farshim, In theory yes, but the OSX License doesn't allow to run OSX in a virtual environment.
[04:35] <Falstius> Robert123321: what script?  If you run the script with sudo, it will be able to write there.  Another option is to create the directory it wants with +rw permissions for it.
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: When you get a chance.. check out Thunar... a lighter file manager...
[04:36] <Robert123321> nbkr: im trying to install ps2toolchain and i run the file toolchain.sh and it gives me that error
[04:36] <kauer> age6racer: Aaaah! Much becomes clear. So this "irexec" is a program that detects the IR signal and executes a command. You want the command it executes to shut down the PC. So far so good?
[04:36] <ashu19> nandemonai: ok my original motherboard crashed when i had windows xp in late July, so i was running on a standby mobo until aug 21
[04:36] <age6racer> yes 100%
[04:36] <ashu19> nandemonai:: i had installed ubuntu in between and it was working rock solid
[04:36] <nbkr> Robert123321, did you run the toolchain.sh with sudo or as normal user?
[04:36] <Kerttuli_> hmm .. wtf
[04:36] <farshim> nbkr:  does VirtualBox allow OS X? It doesn't come up under list of OS's.
[04:36] <Kerttuli_> root@jussi-ubuntu:~# sudo sh install-crossover-standard-demo-6.1.0.sh
[04:36] <Kerttuli_> sh: Can't open install-crossover-standard-demo-6.1.0.sh
[04:36] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: ok. have u tried the pcman file manager?
[04:36] <kauer> age6racer: OK, I'm guessing that irexec runs all the time, picking up signals and executing various programs. Is that right?
[04:36] <ashu19> nandemonai: but ever since i got my original mobo, the usplash doesn't work
[04:37] <age6racer> yup
[04:37] <Robert123321> i typed ./toolchain.sh not sure how to do with sudo do i type sudo .toolchain.sh?
[04:37] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: No but I will if you say you like it.
[04:37] <nandemonai> ashu19: Okies.. Diff mobos?
[04:37] <nbkr> farshim,  It is not a problem of the virtualization tool, but with OSX itself. Apple doesn't want to have its Operation Software run anywhere else than on their hardware.
[04:37] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: ok. man just go for it .. i assure that u will like it.
[04:37] <kauer> age6racer: OK, so how does irexec itsef get run? Do you start it, or does it get started via a startup script in (say) /etc/init.d, or... That is, how does it get run in the first place?
[04:37] <nbkr> Robert123321, sudo ./toolchain.sh
[04:38] <farshim> nbkr:  it seems all Virulisation softwate allow windows and unix based OSs

[04:38] <TerraMaster> HI Im trying to install a runtime library and it came in a .rpm file, what do I do?
[04:38] <nandemonai> ashu18: All good. Are we talking about 2 differant mobos here or same model?
[04:38] <age6racer> yeah it starts with gnome. I added it to the session > startup apps
[04:38] <farshim> nbkr: What's the solution in theory?
[04:38] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: similar to nautilus but quite fast and have a lot of features.
[04:38] <ashu18> : same model
[04:38] <nandemonai> Hmm well that is quite odd then.
[04:38] <TerraMaster> Hi i'm trying to install a runtime library and it came in a .rpm file, what do I do?
[04:39] <Falstius> age6racer: you edit sudoers with visudo.  You would add a line like %admin ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
[04:39] <nbkr> farshim, Set up a new host in vmware, use the OSX installation disk and see what happens. I never tried it, because of the license issue.
[04:39] <Pici> TerraMaster: What file? Did you check the repos for it first?
[04:39] <nandemonai> ashu18: Sorry but I'm stumped. You could always try removing usplash and reinstalling it. Other than that I'm out of suggestions I'm afraid.
[04:39] <Robert123321> nbkr with sudo ./toolchain.sh i get the following error : "ERROR: Add /usr/local/ps2dev/bin to your path before continuing."
[04:39] <TerraMaster> repos?
[04:39] <Don64> TerraMaster: look at alien
[04:39] <Pici> !repo | TerraMaster
[04:39] <ubotu> TerraMaster: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[04:39] <ashu18> nandemonai: how 2 do that?
[04:39] <Pici> !alien | TerraMaster
[04:39] <ubotu> TerraMaster: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:40] <TerraMaster> ok...
[04:40] <nbkr> Robert123321, export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ps2dev/bin; sudo ./toolchain.sh
[04:40] <nandemonai> ashu18: Ubuntu right? Not K/Xubuntu?
[04:40] <jacquesmerde> am new to debian-based distros. when installing a random app from source that isnt in any repos, is there an easy way to turn it into a .deb?
[04:40] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: Already looking at it.. I like thunar as it has the drives on the left like Windows FIle Manager and I have a few drives to deal with
[04:40] <ashu18> nandemonai: yeah ubuntu
[04:40] <TerraMaster> Well how would i go about installing it from source?
[04:40] <Pici> TerraMaster: You can use synaptic to look through the package repositories so you dont have to compile from source or use rpm packages.
[04:41] <TerraMaster> Yea I had a lookie and its not there
[04:41] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: that would depend on your definition of "easy"
[04:41] <nandemonai> ashu18: sudo apt-get remove usplash usplash-theme-ubuntu && sudo apt-get install usplash usplash-theme-ubuntu

[04:42] <TerraMaster> pardon?
[04:42] <aguitel> i need some help
[04:42] <ashu18> nandemonai: hope so
[04:42] <kauer> age6racer: Adding it that way causes it to run as you, as your user. That user has no root rights, except via something like sudo, which generally requires a password before it will carry out commands as root. Allowing sudo to run shutdown without a password is not a bad idea in your situation, because shutdown is actually quite a safe command. I don't know how to do that, but someone else here will. It's not a very elegant solution, though.
[04:42] <jeffferrari> TerraMaster: apt-get install installwatch
[04:42] <nandemonai> ashu18: Good luck ;)
[04:42] <nbkr> aguitel, Just ask your question.
[04:42] <nandemonai> Back in a bit peoples.
[04:42] <jacquesmerde> nosklo: anything equivalent to writing a slackbuild or running checkinstall in slackware?
[04:42] <ashu18> nandemonai: thanks
[04:42] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: a .deb is just an archive with lots of files inside and a policy... if you plan to make *compliant* .deb packages you must follow the packaging guidelines.... that can be hard depending on the source organization
[04:42] <Falstius> kauer: it is elegant enough.  Much better than leaving your password laying around in plaintext.
[04:43] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: press F to view side pane.
[04:43] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: you have checkinstall in ubuntu but that doesn't make a *compliant* package
[04:43] <tadp> is there any one to help me, iam  using  nvidia geforce2 integrated gpu card when i installed envy and run it iam getting a nvidia splash screen but after that everything get stuck. please help me to correct this problem????

[04:43] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: press F9to view side pane.
[04:43] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: Already got that...
[04:43] <erUSUL> !envy | tadp
[04:43] <ubotu> tadp: 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!
[04:43] <Terrasque> Ravenndude`: yes
[04:43] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: have u press the disk icon
[04:43] <age6racer> falstius: can you help me with this then? I'm nervous about getting it wrong.
[04:43] <nbkr> Random832, sure it can, but it depends on the printer.
[04:43] <aguitel> nbkr, i have old laptop with 64 ram (pentium 2) how install ubuntu because i have problem to load alternative cd
[04:43] <jacquesmerde> nosklo: the only reason i want a .deb is so i can uninstall it, deleting files, fixing made symlinks, backing up conf files, etc..
[04:44] <jacquesmerde> what's a "compliant" package?
[04:44] <Ravenndude`> Can anyone like me to some instructions to installing a USB Printer? I tried doing it through System > admin > printer and it didn't work afterwords. The printer is not detected.
[04:44] <tadp> i first used the restricted manager the same problem persisted.  is there any one to help me, iam  using  nvidia geforce2 integrated gpu card when i installed envy and run it iam getting a nvidia splash screen but after that everything get stuck. please help me to correct this problem
[04:44] <nbkr> aguitel, 64 mb is not enough for ubuntu. Even it it is possible to install ubuntu on that maschine, it will never run smoothly.
[04:44] <kauer> age6racer: Start the irexec program *as root*. This would mean wrapping in in gksudo. You would be prompted once (at the start of each session) for your password, then irexec would run in the background, just as it does now, but as root, and would be able to run shutdown without further passwords. If there are other IR commands you want carried out that involve running programs that use the X server displya, you would have to tell irexec to 
[04:44] <TerraMaster> !source
[04:44] <ubotu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[04:44] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: Yes... It looks like I have a better hardware listing in thunar but not the nav icons I see in pc..
[04:45] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: checkinstall will do a trick, but maybe it is better to learn how to package properly so you can provide updates easily, upgrades won't destroy configuration, and you can distribute easily the software, even on ubuntu if it is free...
[04:45] <nbkr> aguitel, Have a look at some other distribution like "Damn Small Linux". It is optimized for PCs like you described.
[04:45] <aguitel> nbkr, what distro is best for me
[04:45] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: I have the tow side by side... I will explore mre.. thanks
[04:45] <age6racer> Can't do that I'm afraid. I need this solution to allow me to remove the keyboard from the machine
[04:45] <nbkr> aguitel, I would give Damn Small Linux a try.
[04:45] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: to make a compkiant package look at the Packaging Guide: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/
[04:45] <Falstius> age6racer: look up, I told you the line to add.  To be safe, open two terminals.  In one, run sudo -i (this will give you a root prompt).  In the other run visudo and add to the end: %admin ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
[04:45] <age6racer> so no passwords.
[04:45] <aguitel> nbkr ,ok i waiting for you
[04:45] <thewickerman> Is there a way that by which I can force the installation of the package releases in the apt-get cache regardless of whether it is the newest version or not?
[04:45] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: Did you get your hot-keys to work yet... THere are some issuse with setting those up if you use desktop effects
[04:46] <jacquesmerde> nosklo: oh, these debs are only for my own personal use
[04:46] <Davy_Jones> aguitel: that's a question only YOU can answer
[04:46] <Falstius> age6racer: then write the file, and test sudo.  If there is a problem, remove the line and come back here to complain.  The extra root terminal is incase sudo breaks :)
[04:46] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: no , editing
[04:46] <kauer> age6racer: Start the irexec program *as root* by creating a startup script for it and placing it in /etc/init.d. This is harder, but irexec is running from the time the machine starts, you don't have to log in for it to be working. You need a suitable startup script, though.
[04:46] <ashu19> nandemonai: nope didn't work...
[04:46] <tadp> i first used the restricted manager the same problem persisted.  is there any one to help me, iam  using  nvidia geforce2 integrated gpu card when i installed envy and run it iam getting a nvidia splash screen but after that everything get stuck. please help me to correct this problem
[04:46] <nbkr> aguitel, Pardon? There is nothing I can do for you - you have to try Damn Small Linux for your self.
[04:46] <ashu19> nandemonai: anyway thanks for ur help
[04:46] <Falstius> kauer: if he does that, than all of the irexec commands will be run as root which he probably does want. Things like changing the channel, etc.
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy > tadp
[04:47] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: I am still inclined to learn how to make everything *the rigth way* even for my own use... I never know, I may purchase another machine, may use my package on one of my clients later... and that knowledge will prove useful...
[04:47] <aguitel> nbkr,ok
[04:47] <ashu19> nandemonai: i keep getting all these weird problems with ubuntu all the time
[04:47] <Davy_Jones> tadp: you know envy can screw your system up, right?
[04:47] <nbkr> aguitel, You can download a DSL Image from there: http://damnsmalllinux.org
[04:47] <ashu19> nandemonai: that's what keeps me from using it full time
[04:48] <tadp> then what to do
[04:48] <tadp> how to install the nvidia driver
[04:48] <Davy_Jones> tadp: dunno.. these problems are hard to track.. check the forums
[04:48] <tadp> Davy_Jones: then how to install the nvidia driver
[04:48] <Davy_Jones> tadp: and listen to ubuntu
[04:48] <tadp> i tried a lot
[04:48] <age6racer> falstius: when I try adding the line it just gives me the visudo usage options
[04:48] <Jack_Sparrow> tadp: Restore from a backup or reinstall or see the people that wrote envy... (good luck with the last one)
[04:48] <Davy_Jones> tadp: listen to ubotu
[04:48] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: but you may do as you see fit,. you may as well just zip the files for your application and you wont even need .deb.... just unzip to a folder into, say, /usr/local and you're done installing
[04:48] <tadp> for last two months
[04:48] <ashu19> nandemonai: anyway, can u tell what's a good (and easy to configure) firewall for ubuntu?
[04:48] <kauer> age6racer: Run another script, just for shutdown, in the background and *as root*. This script should look for a file called (say) "/tmp/shutdown". If it sees it, it deletes the file and shuts your PC down. If it doesn't see it, it goes to sleep for a minute, then wakes up and looks again. Such a script would be easy to write. Your irexec command then just creates that file. This would have the advantage that it ONLY requires root for the on
[04:48] <Davy_Jones> !envy > tadp
[04:49] <Falstius> age6racer: if you run sudo visudo    ?
[04:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Davy_Jones: I already did that a while back..
[04:49] <barbie> hi, how to know what is my default playback device. festival is givin me this error... Linux: can't open /dev/dsp
[04:49] <tadp> envy is not working man
[04:49] <jacquesmerde> nosklo: as in ./configure && make && tar?
[04:49] <ashu19> nandemonai: i want something which will do the job by clicking buttons and not by typing commands
[04:49] <Davy_Jones> Jack_Sparrow: i know, for some reason he won't see the links
[04:49] <tadp> restricted manager too is not working
[04:49] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: or use checkinstall which is almost the same thing
[04:49] <Jack_Sparrow> tadp: Did you even READ  what Uboto said about Envy?
[04:49] <age6racer> falstius: if I run sudo visudo it prompt for password then does the same
[04:50] <Davy_Jones> tadp: try to download and compile the drivers
[04:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy
[04:50] <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!
[04:50] <nbkr> barbie, tried /dev/audo ?
[04:50] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: but by making a proper package you can specify dependencies and have them installed automatically next time, you can use debconf to configure your package, etc etc
[04:50] <arun> is there any way i can change the default folder icons in gftp? i want it to use the default ubuntu folder icons
[04:50] <ProN00b> is ntfs stable yet ?
[04:50] <kauer> Falstius: You are partly right (I assume you mean "does not want"?). As I said initially. However, there are other ways, and he should know about them. He might learn something.
[04:50] <Davy_Jones> tadp: restricted manager works great here
[04:50] <tadp> Davy_Jones: tadp: yea i did download and run the script the same result
[04:50] <ashu19> nandemonai: are u there yet?
[04:51] <Davy_Jones> ProN00b: ntfs as in ntfs-3g?
[04:51] <barbie> nbkr: actually there is a device in /dev as /dev/adsp but how to specify it to festival?
[04:51] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: I am not able to know what to do in keybinding_commands and in global_keybindings .
[04:51] <Falstius> age6racer: .... can you paste the output to pastebin?  That is very strange.
[04:51] <ProN00b> Davy_Jones, yes
[04:51] <tadp> i installed the 1.096xx as well as 1.7085 drivers its not working
[04:51] <Davy_Jones> ProN00b: i don't think it is stable officially but i had no problems using it for the last 3 years or so
[04:51] <gsevil> why I can't suspend my computer
[04:51] <aguitel> nbkr ,what difference between puppy and dsl ?
[04:51] <jacquesmerde> nosklo: i always made packages the proper way with archlinux, setting dependencies, and stuff like that. with arch it was a breeze even for me. but i'm guessing with ubuntu i won't have that much control over my system
[04:51] <Falstius> kauer: I'm not going to argue.  I just don't think it is necessary to tell someone 4 different ways to do something when they just want to get it done.
[04:52] <ProN00b> Davy_Jones, ok, thanks
[04:52] <tadp> any one knows about how to install nvidia driver for "geforce2 integrated gpu"
[04:52] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: that would be your choice, you may have as much control as you need/want to
[04:52] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi:   apps/metacity/keybinding_commands   select command_1  enter the name of the program to run  as in nautilus   apps/metacity/global_keybindings select run_command_1 enter <Alt>e
[04:52] <Ravenndude`> I'm having trouble getting my USB printer detected (espon stylis cx4800). Can anyone help me?
[04:52] <tadp> is there anyone here who works for envy???
[04:53] <nbkr> aguitel, Puppy is just another distribution. I depends on you which one you like more.
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> tadp: No one works at envy...
[04:53] <tadp> anyone contributes??
[04:53] <Davy_Jones> tadp: did you try this > http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_setup_nVidia_drivers_in_7.04
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> tadp: We dont support it, we discourage the use of it...
[04:53] <ShockUBT> i can't seem to get java running as a firefox plugin, can someone help? i have the preferences > content checkbox checked
[04:53] <gsevil> Do you know where to find a log about error when suspend? my pc can't suspend, but my laptop is ok
[04:54] <tadp> jack sparrow can u spare some time discussing this with me now
[04:54] <age6racer> falstius: Sorry I was doing it wrong. I have added the line now and am rebooting the machine
[04:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Davy_Jones: Once he runs that script... he is hosed...
[04:54] <age6racer> rebooting becuase it didnt work straight away
[04:54] <pasqualer92> ciao a tutti
[04:54] <nbkr> barbie, Festival has a configuration file. Maybe you can set it there. I can't find the documentation at present.
[04:54] <pasqualer92> posso kiedere aiuto?
[04:55] <Jack_Sparrow> tadp: I gave you the only two options I can give...  Restore from a backup or re-install...  You can save time by backing up var/cache/apt/archives  and by using a sep. /home in the future.
[04:55] <pasqualer92> azz ehnglesh
[04:55] <pasqualer92> I'm italian

[04:55] <tadp> i didnt understand whats the importance of backup : Jack_Sparrow: tadp: I gave you the only two options I can give...  Restore from a backup or re-install...  You can save time by backing up var/cache/apt/archives  and by using a sep. /home in the future.i
[04:55] <marco__> Ciao a tutti
[04:55] <age6racer> falstius: when I do shutdown -h now it still asks for the password.
[04:55] <pasqualer92> ah grz
[04:55] <pasqualer92> :)
[04:55] <age6racer> do I have to use a different command?
[04:55] <marrokinooo> i wanna remaster fluxubutu? plz how can i do it?
[04:56] <Falstius> age6racer: you shouldn't need to reboot.  It should work right away if done correctly.
[04:56] <Davy_Jones> Jack_Sparrow: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ferneyes/337735343/
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> tadp: I can not help you....
[04:56] <Falstius> age6racer: let me try this for a minute to double check the syntax.  I'll get back with you.
[04:56] <age6racer> ok thanks
[04:56] <tadp> hmm thankx
[04:56] <marrokinooo> i wanna custmize fluxbuntu or xubunti, plz i need help
[04:57] <Falstius> age6racer: I'm booting up my virtual machine so that I don't have to reboot my desktop :)
[04:57] <SoulChild> Hi all, i am looking for a E-Mail Client, which does not donwload all Mails, instead caching them while reading, cause i don't want to waste space on my HD
[04:57] <Davy_Jones> marrokinooo: what kind of customizing?
[04:57] <kauer> Falstius: You way "gets it done". It also leaves shutdown as something anyone can do, anytime, in any open terminal window on that machine - worse, all they need is the IR remote. That happens to be pretty harmless in his context. It might not be for the other 1155 people in this chat room. So it makes sense to explain the downsides to the quick fix and show that there are other, better ways, or at least ways with other advantages and disadv
[04:57] <iratik> I cannot connect to the internet -- I can reach the default gateway and was previously able to connect to the internet under opendns dns servers as configured under /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf .... I reconfigured to use other dns server and am now having dns resolution issues ... e.g. ping cannot resolve google.com ... how do i troubleshoot dns resolution issues ?
[04:57] <nbkr> marrokinooo, See here: Its for ubuntu, but it should work with fluxubuntu to. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[04:57] <Davy_Jones> marrokinooo: also, you will get better support in #xfce and #fluxbox
[04:58] <marrokinooo> Davy_jones: I want to change the boot screen and the background, add my name and so
[04:58] <nosklo> iratik: you may use dig
[04:58] <Davy_Jones> marrokinooo: i suggest you use google for those
[04:58] <marrokinooo> I want to add some softwares and remove some others
[04:58] <iratik> i did that and got a result back
[04:58] <nosklo> iratik dig @server www.ubuntu.com
[04:58] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: thanks , I got all the tricks.. is it possible to use the win key just like alt and control?
[04:58] <iratik> dig www.ubuntu.com
[04:59] <marrokinooo> ok
[04:59] <age6racer> kauer: I understand what you were trying to do. And I appreciate your help. I didn't like the sound of editing this file but considering the machine it is on and the command in question i can live with it.
[04:59] <ubuntu__> Im back
[04:59] <marrokinooo> thanks for help guys
[04:59] <Davy_Jones> np
[04:59] <iratik> nosklo: yeah i'm getting results back for each dig query
[04:59] <blix> test
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: I would assume you could... I didnt have the time... so I just changed it to alt-e
[04:59] <Falstius> kauer: a script that looked at /tmp/shutdown would be vulnerable to anyone who could write to /tmp.  This way only someone in the admin group can do it.  And the whole point is for anyone with the remote to be able to shutdown the computer.
[04:59] <nosklo> iratik: does the result include any "A" record with an ip address?
[04:59] <barbie> nbkr: at ubuntuforum i got the solution.... i need alsa-oss and oss-compat
[04:59] <barbie> but anyways thanks 4 the help
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: So you now have your hot-key for nautilus or pcman up and running right?
[05:00] <nosklo> iratik: in its answer section?
[05:00] <nbkr> barbie, np
[05:00] <iratik> nosklo: hold on
[05:00] <iratik> nosklo: http://pastie.caboo.se/91340
[05:00] <blix> There has to be an easy way to do this....
[05:00] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: ok, I have add the hotkey for nautilus and pcmanfm and working.
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: Thanks for the tim on PC man... I will compare the two a bit more..
[05:00] <blix> I need format a drive to ntfs from this Ubuntu Live CD
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> tip
[05:01] <blix> fdisk..is saying I can't write to the partition table
[05:01] <nosklo> iratik, your server is 151.164.1.6
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: did you unmount it first
[05:01] <iratik> nosklo: my dns server?
[05:01] <blix> I haven't no
[05:01] <nosklo> iratik: the one dig is using
[05:01] <blix> umount /dev/hda?
[05:01] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow, : is there any ebook  available to master the gconf-editor?
[05:01] <jadams_> can anyone recommend an open source image map generating application?
[05:02] <nosklo> iratik: and it solved google.com to a bunch of ips
[05:02] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: You can do it from gnome partition editor as well
[05:02] <nosklo> iratik: try digging www.google.com or pinging just google.com
[05:02] <blix> what's the package for that?
[05:02] <turkishman22> Enter h0131 people
[05:02] <kauer> Falstius: The script could look at the owner of the file too. And of course anyone with the remote can shut it down; that is, as you say, the point. Just trying to show people that there are more ways than one to skin a cat safely. If not for the cat :-)
[05:02] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: Not that I am aware of...
[05:02] <nosklo> iratik: in other words use the same hostname on ping and dig
[05:02] <blix> ah yeah
[05:02] <Davy_Jones> blix: fdisk -l will list the partitions you have mounted and unmounted
[05:02] <Davy_Jones> blix: might prefix it with sudo
[05:02] <iratik> nosklo: updated paste @ http://pastie.caboo.se/91340
[05:02] <blix> ok Davy..let me check
[05:02] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow, ok
[05:03] <msound> my "aplay -l" lists two cards at location card0... how do i make my modem go away (so my soundcard will work)
[05:03] <nosklo> iratik: the DNS server may not respond to pings
[05:03] <nosklo> iratik: in fact that is common practice
[05:03] <blix> dev/sda1 is the partition I want formatted
[05:03] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Ubuntu live cd had Gnome Partition Editor in the system admin menu
[05:03] <nosklo> iratik: but you are still pinging different hostname
[05:03] <iratik> nosklo: i pinged both google.com and www.google.com
[05:04] <iratik> i digged both google.com and www.google.com
[05:04] <blix> jack....yes I have gparted open now
[05:04] <nosklo> iratik: pastebin your /etc/resolv.conf
[05:04] <ShockUBT> why is it that "su" works differently from "su root"
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Highlight the partition, unmount it and try to format it .
[05:04] <Davy_Jones> gonna go meditate by shooting people in quake3.. laters
[05:04] <iratik> nosklo: http://pastie.caboo.se/91343
[05:04] <iBucket> because it makes you own all files:D?
[05:05] <blix> the problem I have is..when I ask to reformat to ntfs...it just responds "At least one operation was applied to a busy device@
[05:05] <Meroigo> artsd, esd, what are those? They have something to do with sound.. Skype staff wants me to turn them off so skype won't have problems. what are their role in the operating system?
[05:05] <Jack_Sparrow> msound: Turn off the modem in bios.. if onboard which I am assuming
[05:05] <Falstius> age6racer: okay, so it works for me.  A couple of notes, when you use visudo, you have to exit (ctrl-x) to get it to write /etc/sudoers.  And you still need sudo, just no password.  So sudo shutdown -h 10 won't ask for password.
[05:05] <iratik> ahah
[05:05] <NET||abuse> Hey guys.. can someone recomend a good id3 tag editor,, i looked through the ones that come up under aptitude search id3 and they're all command line,, i want a gui based one
[05:05] <age6racer> ah ok
[05:06] <Meroigo> NET||abuse: i know one! :)
[05:06] <blix> gparted claims the partition is not formated..
[05:06] <Meroigo> NET||abuse: EasyTAG
[05:06] <NET||abuse> Maybe something i could right click a group of files and bulk update the details.... Meroigo: sure,,
[05:06] <age6racer> perfect. thanks falstius
[05:06] <Meroigo> i used it like yesterday
[05:06] <Meroigo> and it can change many files at the same time etc
[05:06] <NET||abuse> Meroigo: thanks ;)
[05:06] <NET||abuse> sweet ;)
[05:06] <Meroigo> and like change artist/album on many files
[05:06] <Meroigo> you find it if you go to Applications
[05:06] <upd> how can i unpack .gz ?
[05:07] <Meroigo> Add/Remove
[05:07] <Meroigo> and search: id3
[05:07] <Meroigo> :P
[05:07] <Meroigo> or maybe just EasyTAG
[05:07] <nosklo> iratik: your resolv.conf seems ok
[05:07] <nandemonai> upd: gzip -d
[05:07] <nosklo> iratik: dig is using the correct nameserver, I wonder why ping isnt
[05:07] <nandemonai> upd: Or Archive manager or some such in gui.
[05:08] <iratik> nosklo: 151.164.1.6 was an activedirectory DNS server :: when i switched the order of prepend-domain-name-servers in resolv.conf ... ping worked and was able to resolve ...... i edited /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to reflect the change in priority of dns servers .... everything is up and going
[05:08] <msound> Jack_Sparrow : there is no option in my bios (acer laptop aspire 4520) to disable modem... any other ideas?
[05:08] <blix> At least one operation was applied to a busy device.
[05:08] <nosklo> but dig is using 151.164.1.6
[05:08] <blix> how do I get rid of that message when formatted through gparted
[05:08] <Falstius> age6racer: does it work? (test with a long time like 10 minutes and then ctrl-c or shutdown -c to cancel)
[05:08] <Jack_Sparrow> msound: If it is a built in modem, I have not seen a system that would not let you disable it..  odd.
[05:09] <upd> nandemonai, thanks
[05:09] <nosklo> iratik: that's still weird as dig is using the nameserver
[05:09] <nosklo> iratik: as you can see in the end of its response
[05:09] <blix> I'm using the Ubuntu ISO disk...running through limited graphics mode...surely I'm using the hard drive??
[05:09] <iratik> nosklo: i know .... why it is doing that
[05:09] <msound> Jack_Sparrow : The bios has only basic functions like date / time, set boot order (cd, hdd etc)
[05:09] <Meroigo> Does it exsist a nice GUI based program where you can code, debug and compile C++ programs you've written?
[05:09] <lnx> how i can detect the windows manager with bash script ?
[05:09] <blix> Im wondering if I should delete other partitions off the drive
[05:10] <Meroigo> like Visual Studio .NET for Windows :p
[05:10] <skinhead_7115> jai
[05:10] <Bruum> I have Liksyns wirless card, i cant connect to network, someone who can help me?????
[05:10] <Meroigo> but for Linux
[05:10] <age6racer> it works pefectly
[05:10] <msound> !wifi
[05:10] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:10] <NET||abuse> Meroigo: thanks for that,, worked like a dreamm
[05:10] <age6racer> ive set it up on the reote now too.
[05:10] <Exsteris> lnx: top?
[05:10] <Meroigo> nice ^
[05:10] <Meroigo> ^^
[05:10] <msound> !wifi > Bruum
[05:10] <nandemonai> Meroigo: There are a few, I'm not a big c coder myself (more web stuff) but take a look in the repos under development.
[05:10] <NET||abuse> just had the bioshock soundtrack downloaded, wanted to update some details as it was a little lacking
[05:10] <Meroigo> nandemonai: okey
[05:10] <lnx> Exsteris , what you mean ?
[05:11] <nosklo> Meroigo: you may try Anjuta, Kdevelop, emacs... I use the latter.
[05:11] <Bruum> !wifi
[05:11] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:11] <blix> how come gparted formats 160gigs so quick?
[05:11] <blix> is it a quick format?
[05:12] <blix> I deleted all the other partitions and there was no error this time
[05:12] <Meroigo> nosklo: tanks, ill check em out
[05:12] <Jack_Sparrow> msound: I didnt see any link for a manual on that... You may end up having to blacklist the modem driver... and I dont have a clue on how to do that
[05:12] <Bruum> I have Liksyns wirless card, i cant connect to network, someone who can help me?????
[05:12] <blix> Bruum
[05:12] <nandemonai> blix: gparted only partitions to my knowledge not format.
[05:13] <blix> nan
[05:13] <blix> how do I then format??
[05:13] <blix> I will consider you a legend if you let me know
[05:13] <msound> Jack_Sparrow : basically i bought a new laptop and the sound wont work... the "aplay -l" lists both the sound card (NVidia) and modem as card 0. So i figured if i somehow kill the modem, the soundcard will work :)
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: right click and see if you get any options
[05:13] <jeffferrari> blix: from my experience with a 1Tb hd about 2 weeks ago it should be done
[05:13] <arun> when you use kate to edit any file, it automatically creates a backup file as well. does gedit do that as well?
[05:14] <blix> lol
[05:14] <nandemonai> blix: depends on filesystem, for ext3 for example: mkfs.ext3
[05:14] <jeffferrari> blix: it's like a quick format or something, only sets the markers and fs type
[05:14] <Exsteris> arun: yes
[05:14] <lnx> Exsteris , i cant send pm's :( but how i can check if process is running ? ( if compiz.real ?? ? ? ) ?
[05:14] <arun> Exsteris: great..
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> msound: Ah.. doubt that is the problrm..
[05:14] <h_> does anyone here know where i can pay to have my ubuntu probs fixed?
[05:14] <ubuntu__> Im back
[05:15] <x600> Where can I put scripts in X-Chat?
[05:15] <ubuntu__> jack...
[05:15] <Jack_Sparrow> msound: I am trying to get some other work done but check into this..
[05:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !sound
[05:15] <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
[05:15] <msound> Jack_Sparrow : thanks. will do.
[05:15] <ubuntu__> I right click..there are options to format..I click ntfs..and I get no errors back
[05:15] <abhi> how can i add the keybinding for places and system in taskbar. there is only one keybinding(alt+F1) for Applications?
[05:15] <ubuntu__> it seems to do this very quick..I'm wondering if this is like a quick format in Windows
[05:16] <h_> can anyone help?
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu__: Most likely... not writing every track sector marker
[05:16] <jeffferrari> ubuntu__: yeah, it doesn't zero the disk... just sets the markers
[05:16] <froj1> !bluetooth
[05:16] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu__: Probably just sets an ID
[05:16] <ubuntu__> jack, jeff - ok
[05:16] <ubuntu__> so where do I go to do a proper format
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu__: May I ask why... It should be fine as it is
[05:17] <blix> test
[05:17] <blix> I guess...
[05:17] <jeffferrari> blix: what for? does it work?
[05:17] <blix> so now if I stick in a Windows XP disc..I should be able to install Windows
[05:17] <Lacrymology> do I keep my java- packages after getting the sun-java packages?
[05:17] <jeffferrari> blix: if it works, don't worry - otherwise you could use dd to zero the disk first
[05:17] <blix> let me see...
[05:17] <lnx> how i can detect process ? with bash script ?
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu__: YOu can look at HIrens cd for some ntfs diag tools
[05:17] <t4m1n0> !bluetooth
[05:17] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[05:18] <blix> zeroing the disk would help..
[05:18] <blix> then I'll apply a format
[05:18] <neverblue> morning
[05:18] <Bruum> SOmeone who have Linksys PCI card who can help me out?????? cant get online whith it!!!!!!
[05:18] <nandemonai> lnx: something like ps -A | grep foobar maybe?
[05:19] <blix> Bruum ... calm down!
[05:19] <neverblue> Bruum, the excessive ? and ! are not necessary
[05:19] <Bruum> blix : sorry, frustrated after 2 weeks with trying and trying, sorry
[05:19] <neverblue> Bruum, do you see the card in lspci ?
[05:19] <Bruum> rgr.
[05:19] <blix> yeah I know the rage..
[05:19] <Bruum> neverblue : yes
[05:19] <jeffferrari> blix: you could try CAREFULLY (read the docs first): dd if=/dev/zero =/dev/hda or somehting like that
[05:20] <neverblue> Bruum, do you have an drivers loaded for it?
[05:20] <blix> ok jeff
[05:20] <jeffferrari> blix: to tell you the truth though, I think it's a waste of time
[05:20] <Bruum> i have it on cd yes, "windows drivers"
[05:20] <jeffferrari> blix: just try installing windows now, if gparted did not report an error it should be good to go
[05:20] <neverblue> Bruum, currently, as in not sitting on a CD somewhere
[05:20] <pasqualer92> ops scusmy
[05:20] <pasqualer92> chan nufficialy italian?
[05:20] <kdub432> anyone know the channel for suspend / hibernate problems?
[05:21] <Bruum> neverblue : you mean?
[05:21] <jeffferrari> !it | pasqualer92
[05:21] <ubotu> pasqualer92: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[05:21] <blix> jeffferarri - the feeling is mutual
[05:21] <blix> I'm going to give it a bash now
[05:21] <pasqualer92> grz
[05:21] <lnx> Exsteris , ?
[05:21] <blix> if I'm not back in 20mins...then your advice will have worked
[05:22] <lunaso> flequi_11_1995@hotmail.com
[05:22] <blix> nevertheless..."I'll be back"
[05:22] <blix> thanks.
[05:22] <jeffferrari> hopefully I'll be asleep in 20 mins :)
[05:22] <blix> :P
[05:22] <blix> brb (or maybe not)
[05:23] <blix> jeffferrari...I think the problem before was because there were other partitions set up
[05:23] <neverblue> Bruum, do you have multiple NIC cards in your system?
[05:23] <kbuntu> need a little help please, i can't connect to a dc++ hub with dcgui
[05:23] <blix> i.e. swap, etc...
[05:23] <lnx> nandemonai , yes its good now in bash how i can check if what grep return is more that 0 chars ?
[05:23] <bullgard4> Who can tell me what a 'capture device' is? I have got an 'ALC883 Analog ALSA capture device'
[05:23] <arunkale> anyone know any good gnome-based IDEs?
[05:23] <neverblue> bullgard4, a microphone
[05:23] <Bruum> neverblue : no
[05:23] <blix> I'll be back
[05:23] <neverblue> Bruum, anything special about your system setup I should know about ?
[05:24] <bullgard4> neverblue: But why is this not called a microphone?
[05:24] <lnx> how i can check if what grep return is more that 0 chars ?
[05:24] <Bruum> yes, Linksys wirless "many pepole have/had the same problem"
[05:24] <kbuntu> help please? i can't connect to a dc++ hub with dcgui
[05:24] <Bruum> yust installed ubuntu
[05:24] <nandemonai> lnx: My bash scripting is horrid, lowly web coder here I'm afraid.
[05:25] <neverblue> Bruum, if others are having the same problem, you probably want to try the forums
[05:25] <mdk3> QUESTION: in terminal i execute 'sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf'.. output is 'driver bcmwl5 is already installed'... i then run 'ndiswrapper -l'... output shows 'bcmwl5 : invalid driver!'... how do i fix this problem and install my wireless card drivers?... PM WITH ANSWER, THANK YOU.
[05:25] <jeffferrari> bullgard4: because linux is modular and they leave the term open to include all capture devices (line-in etc)
[05:25] <mdk3> I just double checked.. the bcmwl5.inf is what i want for the dell inspiron 5150 model... i still have the same problem
[05:25] <Bruum> neverblue : i have tryd it out, but havent find the solution yet
[05:26] <neverblue> bullgard4, you have a card in your system that accepts input, to input the audio, you would need a device, such as a microphone
[05:26] <neverblue> Bruum, then you probably wont find one here either
[05:26] <jeffferrari> mdk3: what version of ndiswrapper you using?
[05:26] <mdk3> jeff: i downloaded 1.48, installed it.. and encountered some errors
[05:26] <samuel> sup all
[05:26] <nandemonai> Quick off topic question guys, since most of you probably have some wifi exp.. I have a card here without an antenna.. Not sure where it went, but you think it would still get a connection without it? Would only be say 8-10 metres away from AP.
[05:27] <neverblue> Bruum, my point being, I probably cannot help you
[05:27] <jeffferrari> mdk3: during installation?
[05:27] <mdk3> jeff: so i downloaded 1.47 and tried that, but had trouble uninstalling BOTH versions
[05:27] <jeffferrari> lol
[05:27] <t4m1n0> hello there
[05:27] <mdk3> jeff: no, during ndiswrapper -i driver.inf
[05:27] <kbuntu> oh my god guys please help me with dcgui
[05:27] <t4m1n0> where can I found alocal?? ./bootstrap: 3: aclocal: not found
[05:27] <samuel> ive an ubuntu pc that runs fine for a while and then locks up completely, im imagining it may be hardware related because it ran prefectly fine before, but i dont know, any ideas?
[05:27] <t4m1n0> aclocal*
[05:28] <Timo> I just installed ubuntu and a web server (apache2) for the very first time. Everything works and am just wondering what file I edit and where is it located to tell apache2 to use a folder say on an external harddrive for the web so it'll bring up that folder as an apache2 directory???
[05:28] <nandemonai> samuel: Check you /var/log/messages see if anything iffy shows up.
[05:28] <bullgard4> neverblue: So, Device Manager could have calles ALC883 an 'Analog ALSA input device'. Why do they invent a new word 'capture'?
[05:28] <bullgard4> called
[05:28] <jeffferrari> mdk3: remove driver using ndiswrapper -r bcmwl5, remove both versions of ndiswrapper (and make sure they are removed) then blacklist bcm43xx
[05:28] <neverblue> bullgard4, i do not name devices, sorry
[05:29] <nandemonai> Timo: /etc/apache2 is the conf dir
[05:29] <Sheliak> \leave
[05:29] <Timo> Gotcha
[05:29] <mdk3> jeff: ok. specifically - how do i remove both versions of ndiswrapper and blacklist bcm43xx?
[05:30] <samuel> nandemonai: thanks ill look, any ideas what a common cause of hardware failure is?
[05:30] <nandemonai> So, no-one tried a wifi card without the antenna? I might just give it a go ;)
[05:30] <jeffferrari> mdk3: blacklist bcm43xx by adding it to modprobe's blacklist files (check /etc/modprobe.d
[05:30] <nandemonai> samuel: If it's hardware it could be anything.. overheating, memory, pci card. Hard to tell sometimes.
[05:31] <ShockUBT> if i just type "su" into the terminal, should that be using the root password for authentication
[05:31] <ShockUBT> ?
[05:31] <LiveFire> Hi - I have a question. I just downloaded Ubuntu (server edition) and burned an image on a cd.  I installed the cd into the designated computer for bootup - at what point will this allow me to install a new OS on the system?  or how can I get to the setup so I can setup my server?
[05:31] <fyrestrtr> Timo: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#head-8c16bcd2517fa5b9fa35d616f00d3bb59e981373
[05:31] <jeffferrari> mdk3: I just checked mine - /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist I added "blacklist bcm43xx" to the top
[05:32] <nandemonai> samuel: If you see any messages in /var/log/messages about failures that can be helpful. Put it up on pastebin if you like and I can take a look.
[05:32] <Pici> ShockUBT: Use sudo instead.
[05:32] <samuel> nandemonai: thanks
[05:32] <fyrestrtr> jeffferrari: you add just bcm43xx not blacklist bcm43xx
[05:32] <fyrestrtr> LiveFire: when it boots up from the cdrom, it will start the install process.
[05:32] <kbuntu> can anyone please help me with dcgui ?!?!?!
[05:33] <mdk3> jeff: im in etc/modprobe.d - how do i blacklist/add bcm43xx?
[05:33] <n00dl3> mdk3: Edit the blacklist file xP
[05:33] <ShockUBT> Pici: i can't
[05:33] <jeffferrari> mdk3: do you see the other lines that have "blacklist modulename"?
[05:34] <Pici> ShockUBT: why not?
[05:34] <ShockUBT> Pici: this install script uses "su" for me, i think.
[05:34] <fyrestrtr> mdk3: sudo tee -a bcm43xx /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[05:34] <ShockUBT> it installs ncsvc
[05:34] <Pici> ShockUBT: I dont know what that is.
[05:34] <ShockUBT> something to do with virtual private networks, i assume
[05:35] <ShockUBT> maybe i can get it as an apt-get package
[05:35] <Pici> ShockUBT: I'd do that before running any scripts ;)
[05:35] <jeffferrari> fyrestrtr: only thing there, when I actually look at the blacklist file, all the other modules that are blacklisted by default in ubuntu have "blacklist" in front of them
[05:36] <samuel> nandemonai: http://pastebin.ca/672413 i dont see anything odd there
[05:36] <mdk3> jeff/fyre - i ran sudo tee - a bcm43xx /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist... the terminal is blank now? advise?
[05:36] <kbuntu> jesus christ ... tell me who to use dcgui please!!!!!!!
[05:37] <n00dl3> weeee
[05:37] <ShockUBT> Pici: here's something from a forum post: "
[05:37] <ShockUBT> The installer wants to use su, not sudo. I just set my root password to something while I installed it, then reset it again later"
[05:37] <neverblue> kbuntu, please use a bit of patience, it will get you further here
[05:38] <jeffferrari> mdk3: can you do cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and confirm there is a line that reads "blacklist bcm43xx"?
[05:38] <Falstius> kbuntu: dcgui is in the universe repository ... most people probably don't use it.
[05:38] <vas> hey guys bear with me here, but I installed a couple appls with apt-get through command line in Ubuntu (Feisty), and I am not sure how the heck to run them
[05:38] <vas> one being beagle
[05:38] <vas> help please
[05:38] <kbuntu> valknut is not so pretty
[05:38] <kbuntu> Falstius, give me an alternative please!
[05:39] <giany911> kbuntu valknut
[05:39] <dwa> i agree valknut is not for people who are keen on usability
[05:39] <jeffferrari> fyrestrtr: just read the modprobe.conf man page, says blacklist must be in front of config files in /etc/modprobe.d
[05:39] <neverblue> vas, does it show in your Applications Menu ?
[05:39] <kbuntu> another
[05:39] <vas> neverblue negatory
[05:39] <vas> I got Beagle
[05:39] <dwa> i don't think there are better alternatives for linux kbuntu
[05:39] <neverblue> vas, then try to run from command line
[05:39] <Falstius> kbuntu: I'm not even sure what it is.  A P2P app?
[05:39] <giany911> i think valknut is better than dcpp
[05:40] <kbuntu> yes Falstius
[05:40] <dwa> valknut is a powerful program
[05:40] <dwa> but hard to get into initally
[05:40] <kbuntu> it's ugly
[05:40] <mdk3> jeff/fyre - i ran cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.. no line reads "blacklist bcm43xx"
[05:40] <giany911> kbuntu ..i suggest you try both dcpp and valknut and you decide
[05:40] <dwa> ugly doesn't matter :)
[05:40] <kbuntu> sudo apt-get install dcpp ?
[05:40] <giany911> it gets the job done!
[05:40] <giany911> thats the point
[05:40] <n00dl3> mdk3: I think they wanted you to add it xP
[05:40] <dwa> giany911: i was typing the exact sentence ;)
[05:40] <giany911> :)
[05:41] <mdk3> noodl3: xP is a new term to me =P
[05:41] <branstrom> I have an nvidia card - how do I enable direct rendering on it? It seems like it's needed for compiz fusion
[05:41] <giany911> kbuntu dcpp = linuxdcpp which i think you already have or am i wrong ?
[05:41] <n00dl3> mdk3: It's just a face thinger lol
[05:41] <craven> hello i have a netgear wg111 v2 and thw wiki says it work out of the box but its not can someone please help?
[05:41] <ctaloi> Hello, I have a script thats capturing lots of packets using tshark.
[05:41] <ctaloi> The capture files are owned as root, because the tshark process that captures needs to be run as root (to put the interface in promiscuous mode).  I'm trying to get a Apache to read the files - but can't because of the permissions... the capture command will never end, so I can't chown the files after the capture stops, any thoughts?
[05:41] <jeffferrari> mdk3: does grep "bcm43xx /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" read anything? noodl3 is right, add it if it's not there
[05:41] <ShockUBT> so, if "su" doesn't work, does that mean that my root account is disabled?
[05:41] <vas> neverblue how would I do that... where are the files located that I need to run.. init.d is empty
[05:42] <kbuntu> giany911, i don't undestand "DriveCrypt Plus Pack (DCPP) is a Full disk encryption software package which encrypts the operating system, and allows pre-boot authentication. ..."
[05:42] <vas> srry neverblue but I have experience only with ubuntu in CLI (server addition)
[05:42] <fyrestrtr> !root > ShockUBT
[05:42] <giany911> kbuntu dcpp = linuxdcpp which i think you already have or am i wrong ?
[05:42] <ShockUBT> ?
[05:42] <kbuntu> you are wrong
[05:42] <mdk3> jeff: yes. the output shows the text in the blacklist file... how do i add xP?
[05:42] <neverblue> vas, type in the command in a shell
[05:43] <giany911> kbuntu ... well .. in synaptic when i search for dcpp .. linuxdcpp is the only thing i find so ...
[05:43] <vas> neverblue what do I type
[05:43] <n00dl3> mdk3: xP is an emoticon lol, like :P
[05:43] <neverblue> vas what are you trying to run ?
[05:43] <vas> Beagle
[05:43] <mdk3> lmao
[05:43] <jeffferrari> mdk3: does it have the word "blacklist" in front? quite important
[05:43] <alberticor> aupa
[05:43] <kbuntu> no linuxdcpp is shown in synaptic
[05:44] <giany911> umm ..so you run kubuntu and not ubuntu ? :)
[05:44] <neverblue> vas, then you might want to type that in the command line (case sensitive)
[05:44] <n00dl3> mdk3: echo "blacklist modulename" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist  ;; Probably need sudo
[05:44] <mdk3> jeff: let me thank you for your patience first and foremost.... what should have 'blacklist' in front of it?
[05:44] <vas> neverblue nah its not working
[05:44] <blix> hi folks
[05:44] <ProN00b> are there any tools to set up a custom keyboard layout ? some keys are not getting detected correctly
[05:44] <kbuntu> giany911, tell me how to use dcgui
[05:45] <blix> I'm back...Windows XP boot didn't work :-(
[05:45] <n00dl3> blix: yay
[05:45] <neverblue> !case sensitive
[05:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about case sensitive - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:45] <blix> loool
[05:45] <super-6-1> hello i have a netgear wg111 v2 and thw wiki says it work out of the box but its not can someone please help?
[05:45] <jeffferrari> mdk3: well, I think your blacklist file has bcm43xx in it, but it needs to have the word blacklist before that...
[05:45] <ProN00b> kbuntu, don't use dcgui, i think it sucks, you need linuxdcpp... which you can only build from source at the moment
[05:45] <blix> I'm trapped in Ubuntu
[05:45] <giany911> kbuntu ... well ... its something i can explain ... 1st you have to join some hubs ..then search and download .. ..
[05:45] <jeffferrari> blix: what happened
[05:45] <blix> I honestly only need Windows XP for games
[05:45] <giany911> *its not
[05:45] <blix> hey jeff
[05:46] <kbuntu> i`m trying to connect to a hub giany911, but it says it can't connect
[05:46] <mdk3> jeff: i open up my blacklist file... "blacklist bcm43xx" nor "bcm43xx" are listed in it.
[05:46] <blix> same story...Windows Setup didn't recognise a drive
[05:46] <ProN00b> kbuntu, join #linuxdc++ and ask them for help
[05:46] <vas> neverblue yes I have tried with and without case sensetivity
[05:46] <blix> I was told there was issues with a SATA HD
[05:46] <blix> when booting
[05:46] <blix> I'm not too convinced.
[05:46] <jeffferrari> ok, so add a new line "blacklist bcm43xx" anywhere in there
[05:46] <giany911> kbuntu ..did you share anything, and try other hubs
[05:46] <fr500> super-6-1: please elaborate
[05:46] <blix> mmm, this is frustrating.
[05:46] <ProN00b> blix, if your disk needs additional drivers you need to insert them on windows installation somewhere
[05:47] <super-6-1> fr500: what do you mean the problem?
[05:47] <blix> I can't see how I need to...
[05:47] <kbuntu> giany911, i want to join my hub, with my nick :D no share needed
[05:47] <jeffferrari> !windows
[05:47] <ubotu> For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[05:47] <wolfsong> anyone here have any luck setting wirelesse Linksys card using WAP?
[05:47] <fr500> super-6-1: yes
[05:47] <giany911> and ? what ... happens when you try that kbuntu
[05:47] <feanyu> hello
[05:47] <ProN00b> blix, me neither...
[05:47] <kbuntu> "Couldn connect to hub"
[05:47] <n00dl3> feanyu: Heyo
[05:47] <blix> ProN00b...yeap
[05:47] <giany911> kbuntu are you positive that the hub you are trying to connect to is up and running ?
[05:48] <blix> this just sucks
[05:48] <kbuntu> no "Hub has closed its connection"
[05:48] <kbuntu> yep
[05:48] <ProN00b> blix, lol, sucks to be you
[05:48] <ProN00b> blix, next time buy a real computer
[05:48] <xayon> Hi, I'm installing a joystick in kernel 2.6.15-23 but I can't find joystick device anywhere it isnt in /dev/js and when I look in dmesg it says it's in /class/input/input6 but in /dev/input there isnt any input6 :/ I've this working on debian.
[05:48] <Cuzz> Hi, has anybody installed 8600GT drivers? Everything worked fine (including Beryl) but when i restart i get "the X server is now disabled". Any ideas?
[05:48] <giany911> im not sure what to do ... try any other hub see if the same thing happens kbuntu
[05:48] <blix> lol
[05:48] <blix> yeah it so does...
[05:48] <kbuntu> same thing
[05:48] <super-6-1> fr500: i have a hp with ubuntu 7.04 alternative installed. and i have a netgear wg111 v2 and for some reason it wont work. on the ubuntu site i saw a list of working usb adapters and now it wont work
[05:48] <blix> it sucks to be me right now
[05:49] <giany911> kbuntu ... try valknut ... see if the same thing happens there ... im not sure how to help you
[05:49] <fr500> super-6-1: is the card recognized
[05:49] <fr500> ?
[05:49] <blix> I'm checking the manufacturer of my laptop
[05:49] <super-6-1> fr500: yes
[05:49] <fr500> try iwconfig
[05:49] <jeffferrari> blix: dude, why don't you use gparted to set the partitions without actually formatting then just use windows installer to format? if it can't get that far its having trouble detecting the hd at all
[05:49] <super-6-1> i think
[05:49] <super-6-1> Okey ~
[05:49] <super-6-1> hold on firing up my laptop
[05:49] <kbuntu> giany911, with valknut works
[05:50] <blix> jeff...let me check
[05:50] <giany911> kbuntu wait .. valknut and dcgui is the same thing as far as i can see ...
[05:50] <kbuntu> noap...
[05:50] <kbuntu> two different software
[05:50] <akirch> I've got an asterisk database file (which is in Berkeley/Sleepycat 1.85 format) I am attempting to find a utility in the db4 install called db4_dump185 which will allow me to dump this database to text for conversion.  The problem is that file doesn't seem to be in the standard sources, nor do any of the other db4 utils related to upgrading this database.  How would I get ahold of the package maintainer?
[05:50] <annihilus> can anyone name a good app for testing regex's
[05:51] <giany911> kbuntu when i start valknut the ... let's call it "welcome screen" point's me to dcgui.berlios.de ...so ..
[05:51] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> Hi all! Theres a package that wants constant update, to its own current revision... updating it yields no error messages... but the update notification wont go away... any solution to this?
[05:51] <ScottLij> Whats the version of Ubuntu where many codecs come preinstalled?
[05:51] <kbuntu> ah.. maybe.....
[05:51] <neverblue> vas, do you know what beagle is used for?
[05:51] <mdk3> jeff: how can i add line "blacklist bcm43xx" to the blacklist file... it says i do not have the permission to do so.
[05:51] <giany911>  scottlij are you talking about mediabuntu ? or ultimate ?
[05:51] <super-6-1> fr500: sometimes the pc wont even see the usb adapter
[05:52] <Slart> annihilus: I just googled for some regexp tutorials and I think I saw some java, online app where you could test regexps.. not much help, I know.. but at least you know it's out there
[05:52] <super-6-1> Okey ~  hold on
[05:52] <giany911>  scottlij umm correction medibuntu that is
[05:52] <jeffferrari> mdk3: you need to be root... what prog are you trying to edit it with?
[05:52] <annihilus> Slart, yeah i had noticed that one also, im looking for something close to the way regexbuddy works in windows
[05:52] <mdk3> jeff: gedit
[05:52] <Cuzz> I installed 8600GT deivers manulay and Beryl and everything worked beautifully. Vista looks like looks like DOS. But when i restarted i got the X-server Blue screen. Says : The X server is now disabled. Restart GDM when it is configured correctly" Any help is appreciated, Thanx!
[05:52] <annihilus> Slart, thanks alot though
[05:52] <n00dl3> mdk3: type: sudo echo "blacklist bcm43xx" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[05:53] <fr500> super-6-1: after hibernation maybe?
[05:53] <giany911> kbuntu if things work with valknut you should stick to it ... you will get used to it in time ... not sure what else to say
[05:53] <blix> with gparted...you appear to be forced to select a filesystem
[05:53] <ion> what are lowlatency kernels used for?
[05:53] <kupang> hi guys...
[05:53] <Slart> annihilus: you're welcome.. if I find it again I'll let you know
[05:53] <kupang> i;m noob here..
[05:53] <jeffferrari> mdk3: try: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[05:53] <kupang> trying to make my audigy card to work on ubuntu..
[05:53] <kbuntu> giany911, thanks man, anyway ... valknut sucks... the layout...
[05:53] <jeffferrari> noodl3: I suspect he already has a bcm43xx loading line... want to make sure thats not there
[05:54] <mdk3> jeff: ok it worked..
[05:54] <giany911> kbuntu ... you won't find any eye-candy, good-looking, easy to use dc++ client
[05:54] <giany911> kupang ..so where are you stuck ?
[05:54] <super-6-1> fr500: i get too networks on with wlanmaster and wlan
[05:54] <mdk3> jeff: how do i make sure i remove both 1.47 and 1.48 versions of ndiswrapper?
[05:54] <administrador> hello
[05:54] <super-6-1> n
[05:54] <jeffferrari> mdk3: did you compile from source?
[05:54] <kupang> the thing is.. i can see the volume icon on the taskbar..
[05:54] <kupang> but i cant hear no sound comng out..
[05:55] <giany911> kupang http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_change_the_default_soundcard
[05:55] <giany911> you will find more info there ...
[05:55] <fr500> super-6-1: do you have more than one wifi adapter?
[05:55] <jeffferrari> mdk3: actually, it doesn't matter... do "ndiswrapper -r bcmwl5" then reboot the computer
[05:55] <kupang> i;ll try to head there..
[05:55] <super-6-1> fr500: no i dont
[05:56] <mdk3> jeff: directory doesn't exist... i will reboot now
[05:56] <giany911> kupang i have a audigy SE it works ok ...so don't worry you will get it to work
[05:56] <peeps_work> open office won't load argh
[05:56] <peeps_work> it loads some days, other days it doesn't
[05:56] <super-6-1> fr500: at this point when i go online it only does looking up ( website here ) and does server not found
[05:56] <blix> right...ntfs...why doesn't Windows XP want to know
[05:57] <peeps_work> this is incredibly annoying
[05:57] <blix> stoopid MS.
[05:57] <ProN00b> how do i find my keymap config file and change it ?
[05:57] <ProN00b> blix, your disk only gets detected on linux ?
[05:57] <ProN00b> is it your main disk ?
[05:57] <ProN00b> does it detect it as free space ?
[05:57] <fr500> super-6-1: do you have a dhcp server?
[05:57] <ProN00b> or does it detect nothing ?
[05:57] <peeps_work> Open Office writer gives me this error: ** (process:5168): WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit ...
[05:58] <super-6-1> fr500: umm nope i dont think
[05:58] <Slart> annihilus: this guy says he's got an older version available for linux.. he's not supporting it anymore but it's not that old, http://weitz.de/regex-coach
[05:58] <blix> ProN00b...yeah only gets detected in Linux..and yes it is my main disk
[05:58] <fr500> super-6-1: then you need to configure your network card manually
[05:58] <ProN00b> blix, just give a complete description of your problem, post it on the forum or something, with those sparse bits of info noone can help you here; in fact i hate you for it
[05:58] <blix> Windows XP doesn't recognise any sort of disk
[05:58] <super-6-1> fr500: what do you mean?
[05:58] <nandemonai> Still having issues blix? Tried what I said about ahci? XP probably needs drivers to install less it's set to ide/compat mode.
[05:58] <mdk3> jeff: i'm rebooted.. advise from here?
[05:58] <super-6-1> fr500: like ip ds all that?
[05:58] <fr500> super-6-1: if there is no dhcp you need to setup your ip address, gateway, dns
[05:59] <giany911> peeps_work a short google search reavealed this to me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288684
[05:59] <super-6-1> Okey ~
[05:59] <ProN00b> blix, the windows install or a windows that is running ?
[05:59] <super-6-1> well i have no clue how to do that o well
[05:59] <blix> so many questions..
[05:59] <jeffferrari> mdk3: do ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf like you normally do, see what happens
[05:59] <blix> right I think should take this to the forum
[05:59] <ProN00b> blix, fck you
[05:59] <freepenguin> ho notato che se cerco qualcosa per i primi 10-15 secondi mi trova i file normali dopodich cominciano ad arrivare centinaia e centinaia di altri file con nome simile, ma che si vede che non sono veri, come se ci fosse qualche script o roba varia
[05:59] <blix> ok...ProN00b...whatever. I'm the one with the problem, not you.
[05:59] <jeffferrari> mdk3: normally bcm43xx interferes... hopefully not this time :)
[05:59] <freepenguin> vi risulta anche a voi  o  solo una cs mia?
[05:59] <nandemonai> ...
[06:00] <slawek__> hey
[06:00] <ProN00b> blix, yeah, well i try to help and you say " so many questions.." what kind of attitude is that ??
[06:00] <slawek__> i need driver to my cell phone
[06:00] <nandemonai> Anyhoo, blix: no options for ahci in bios?
[06:00] <blix> Pr0Noob...the Windows install, I'm basically trying to install Windows XP on a blank disk..
[06:00] <ProN00b> blix, obviously i can't help without info
[06:00] <slawek__> !!!
[06:00] <sk1t3lles> I have a macbook pro which I installed ubuntu on but I have no sound can anyone tell me how I can get sound working?
[06:00] <giany911> freepenguin #ubuntu-it ?
[06:00] <ProN00b> blix it doesn't detect it at all ?
[06:00] <blix> and I will provide information in due course
[06:00] <annihilus> Slart, cool thanks alot ill check it out
[06:00] <blix> someone asked me about the bios..
[06:00] <blix> there was no option for that..
[06:01] <blix> it seemed really restricted
[06:01] <super-6-1> fr500: i copyed the info from my windows ipconfig and change the IP by one number
[06:01] <jeffferrari> !ubuntu-it | freepenguin
[06:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-it - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:01] <blix> ProN00b
[06:01] <blix> yes
[06:01] <fr500> super-6-1: and now it works?
[06:01] <blix> When booting with the Windows XP CD...the setup does not recognise a disk
[06:01] <giany911> sk1t3lles see if this helps out http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_change_the_default_soundcard
[06:01] <super-6-1> well i hope
[06:01] <super-6-1> fr500: it worked
[06:01] <blix> I have used gparted to set a ntfs partition..but still no luck
[06:01] <nandemonai> blix: Okies. Just I know that XP hates most ahci controllers without drivers and usually you can get around this by setting ahci to ide/compat mode.
[06:01] <mike__> quick question, im changing grub to choose windows first, and i want windows at the top, where do i place the windows section?
[06:01] <super-6-1> fr500: im connected
[06:02] <sk1t3lles> giany911, thank you
[06:02] <jeffferrari> blix: I'd prob try booting to the windows shell and using fdisk to try resetting disk labels
[06:02] <mike__> right above the linux portions? or isnt there a section up higher?
[06:02] <blix> ahci to ide/compat mode...mmm
[06:02] <blix> ok
[06:02] <nandemonai> blix: Without the option in bios you may need to track down installer drivers for that controller.
[06:02] <tanath> i just had a strange error
[06:02] <super-6-1> fr500: thanks for you time and effort to help me out with my problem
[06:02] <tanath> my computer froze, the pc speaker started going, and the caps-lock light started flashing. i had to press reset
[06:02] <blix> if I can get a windows command prompt I would be fine..
[06:02] <giany911> sk1t3lles don't thank me yet .. im not 100% sure it will work ... but you can get some help on the forums if it doesnt
[06:02] <caner> how can i make feisty to detect my usb printer (hp psc 1410). it is listed in "lsusb" but i simply cannot use it.
[06:02] <tanath> anyone have any idea what might cause that?
[06:02] <blix> where are the days of floppy disks
[06:03] <fr500> super-6-1: no prob
[06:03] <nandemonai> blix: That's my point though.. it sounds like your controller is just too new for xp's installer. I had the exact same thing on asus p5b but luckily I ave ahci options in bios.
[06:04] <caner> i get an error "The CUPS server could not be contacted."
[06:04] <giany911> caner there's someting about your printer here check it out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=348353&page=2
[06:04] <blix> ahci...
[06:04] <blix> right I think I need to check that out
[06:04] <nandemonai> blix: So without drivers I doubt you'll get xp seeing the hd essentially.
[06:04] <blix> if I don't find it..I will certainly be back
[06:04] <blix> yeah I need to hunt down those drivers
[06:04] <blix> bugger
[06:04] <tanath> anyone know what might cause the capslock key to flash?
[06:05] <nandemonai> got a floppy handy?
[06:05] <giany911> tanath maybe ubuntu thinks it's christmas :)
[06:05] <tanath> lol
[06:05] <Jamesinator> tanath: Starting with the obvious, nothing is physically wrong with the keyboard? There's no pressure on the capslock key or on the pad underneath it?
[06:05] <nandemonai> tanath: is the system frozen? could be a kernel panic
[06:05] <tanath> nandemonai: that's prolly what it was
[06:05] <tanath> nandemonai: my computer froze, the pc speaker started going, and the capslock key was flashing
[06:06] <tanath> nandemonai: er, capslock light
[06:06] <nandemonai> tanath: Yup, sounds like a panic to me.
[06:06] <pondus> okey, this BITCHx is seems kinda hard to crack :)
[06:06] <mdk3> jeff: says "bcmwl5 : invalid driver!"
[06:06] <pondus> exit
[06:06] <tanath> nandemonai: what might have caused that?
[06:06] <pondus> quit

[06:08] <pondus> did i exit by my self? :)

[06:08] <Jamesinator> Thanks.
[06:09] <jeffferrari> mdk3: where did you get the bcmwl5.inf file?
[06:09] <goodtod> i just recomplied my kernel and lost my tv card at /dev/video0, anyone got an idea why?
[06:09] <nandemonai> tanath: Hmm. Flash isn't great but never seen it cause a panic myself. Touch wood and hope it doesn't happen again? ;)
[06:09] <nandemonai> tanath: Hmm. Flash isn't great but never seen it cause a panic myself. Touch wood and hope it doesn't happen again? ;)
[06:09] <nandemonai> Stupid laptop keyboard.
[06:10] <tanath> nandemonai: first time i've had one. i'd like to find out what caused it. :-/
[06:10] <nandemonai> tanath: If you can figure out what time it happened and look in the log around that time.. umm messages in /var/log might help too
[06:10] <tanath> nandemonai: actually, i had one on boot w/debian before i think, but this one was wholly unexpected
[06:10] <caner> how can i fix this error "The CUPS server could not be contacted."
[06:10] <caner> i cant use my prnter
[06:11] <nathan> how do I disable the splash screen at beginning of login?
[06:11] <tonedevf> i've got RandRRotation enabled and now the "rotation" option is enabled in Ubuntu Feisty's Screen Resolution control panel.  however, when i set the screen to rotate left and check the box "Make default for this computer", the rotation returns to normal after reboot/logout.  How can i make this persist?  is there a directive that can go into xorg.conf to force this setting to be default?
[06:11] <jeffferrari> mdk3: oh yeah, and what does "lspci | grep -i broadcom" say?
[06:12] <giany911> caner did you check the link i gave you ?
[06:12] <arunkale> is there any other good ftp application for gnome other than gftp?
[06:12] <rh1zome> Hi all
[06:12] <caner> giany911 yes ive checked but i even cannot use the gnome-cups manager
[06:12] <Stormx2> arunkale: Tbh, there isn't one. I use FireFTP, which is a firefox extension.
[06:12] <tanath> nandemonai: weird, i can cat the kern.log in terminal, but can't open it in gedit. complains about encoding...
[06:12] <mdk3> jeff: output shows my ethernet and network controller...
[06:13] <arunkale> Stormx2: ah alright. I used to use it when I was on Kubuntu, until I found KFTPGrabber which was rather cool. I'll go back to FireFTP, I guess. Thanks
[06:13] <nandemonai> tanath: try nano
[06:13] <marsjannno> Hi all. Can somebody tell me what is the best music player for ubuntu if i want something that looks like amarok.?
[06:13] <giany911> caner maybe you can find something to help you out here http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#Print_Server_.28cupsd.29
[06:13] <PriceChild> !best | marsjannno
[06:13] <ubotu> marsjannno: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[06:13] <PriceChild> marsjannno, you can install amarok in ubuntu
[06:13] <nandemonai> tanath: XFCE user here so can't really help with gedit. Probably something in prefs.
[06:13] <jeffferrari> mdk3: you're definite you have a broadcom 43xx based card? what exactly was the lines that command gave
[06:13] <giany911> marsjanno you can use amarok
[06:13] <rh1zome> I'm feeling my way around subversion and am trying to work out the orthodox way of deleting an unneeded repository. Any advice?
[06:13] <caner> giany911 thank you i am checking it
[06:13] <bbryant> e/topic
[06:13] <PriceChild> marsjannno, but something like listen is good
[06:14] <marsjannno> Yep but amarok looks strange with my gtk
[06:14] <PriceChild> marsjannno, or banshee
[06:14] <bbryant> Are the ubuntu support channels down?
[06:14] <PriceChild> bbryant, "ubuntu support channels"?
[06:14] <marsjannno> banshee doesent support libriares, exaile! is pretty buggy
[06:14] <tanath> nandemonai: there's a line like this where i think it happend in the log: ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^$

[06:14] <giany911> if this is not one ... than which is

[06:14] <PriceChild> bbryant, I wouldn't think so
[06:14] <mdk3> jeff: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Baste-T
[06:14] <PriceChild> bbryant, system > admin > software sources, and change what mirror you're using
[06:14] <bbryant> must be the network then
[06:15] <nandemonai> tanath: Never seen that myself. Bizzaro.
[06:15] <mdk3> jeff: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller
[06:15] <ProN00b> how do i find my keymap config file and change it ?
[06:15] <nandemonai> tanath: Probably crashed before it could log properly maybe?
[06:15] <tanath> nandemonai: could be something with nano trying to display garbled stuff
[06:15] <nandemonai> tanath: That's possible too.
[06:15] <tanath> nandemonai: maybe. it froze suddenly and completely, except for the beeping & flashing
[06:16] <tanath> nandemonai: line before is firewall stuff. line after is: Aug 27 11:56:16 localhost kernel: Loaded 24977 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.6.20-16-generic.
[06:16] <nandemonai> tanath: I wouldn't worry about it too much. I've had the odd strange kernel panic in desktops a few times over the last few years. If it keeps happening then I'd look into it more.
[06:17] <tanath> nandemonai: my computer is getting old. i'm concerned about failing hardware. i'd like to track down the cause
[06:17] <iBucket> LOOKOUT

[06:17] <jeffferrari> mdk3: yeh, you're doing the right thing, but might just have a bad driver - where did you get it from? I tend to get better results from xp drivers for my sys
[06:17] <iBucket> Anyway, this is ubuntu! go to #defocus if you want non topic banter
[06:17] <nandemonai> tanath: Might wanna ask one of the 'higher ups' then. I know very little about debugging kernel panics.
[06:17] <fevel> Can I install windows after I have installed ubuntu? I need to run Windows for a gme
[06:17] <akirch> I've got an asterisk database file (which is in Berkeley/Sleepycat 1.85 format) I am attempting to find a utility in the db4 install called db4_dump185 which will allow me to dump this database to text for conversion.  The problem is that file doesn't seem to be in the standard sources, nor do any of the other db4 utils related to upgrading this database.  How would I get ahold of the package maintainer?
[06:18] <iBucket> nahhh
[06:18] <iBucket> you shouldn't really install windows afterwards, it;s a sketchy business fevel
[06:18] <faileas> fevel: you'll have to install windows, then fix grub
[06:18] <iBucket> But yeh, use a virtual console thing?
[06:18] <davetarmac> Is there a GUI for configuring WINE?
[06:18] <Ahadiel> davetarmac, winecfg
[06:18] <fevel> faileas, I thought so..is it a dificult task?
[06:18] <jeffferrari> fevel: you can fix it with the live cd, but be prepared for trouble
[06:19] <davetarmac> Ahadiel: Is that available through Synaptic?
[06:19] <faileas> fevel: haven't done in on this distro, nor have i done it in years
[06:19] <mdk3> jeff: i downloaded the drivers using my windows partition.. it is the correct driver for the Dell inspiron 5150 that I use...
[06:19] <Ahadiel> davetarmac, it comes with wine...
[06:19] <nandemonai> tanath: Best of luck to you, hope it's not hardware. ;) Remember the linux kernel isn't perfect, you do get the (all be it pretty rare) crash.
[06:19] <fevel> I really do need windows for gaming dont I?
[06:20] <davetarmac> Ahadiel: ok, found it.
[06:20] <fevel> maybe im so noob I dont even need it but dont have the knowledge
[06:20] <giany911> fevel what game ?
[06:20] <nandemonai> fevel: Honestly? Yes. Or a console. Imo anyway.
[06:20] <zombie_monkey> how do I find out if the kernel was compiled with config_4kstacks enabled or disabled?
[06:20] <tanath> nandemonai: wouldn't be reasonable to expect perfection. i certainly didn't expect it for windows :P thanks though
[06:21] <nandemonai> tanath: Heh, not a problem.
[06:22] <tanath> nandemonai: do you know how to turn off the firewall logging? i can't remember
[06:22] <Bruum> were can i download ndiswrapper ?
[06:22] <nandemonai> tanath: umm no I dont sorry.
[06:22] <tanath> ah well
[06:22] <nandemonai> Think it's got a cold.
[06:22] <instabin|work> is there any way to get the live cd with  install on to a bootable usb key... So basicly i can boot from the usb key and install ubuntu to the hd
[06:23] <natb> hiall, how do i go about adding stuff into the 'startup' ?
[06:24] <natb> or adding things as daemons, (maybe that is the same thing)?!
[06:24] <Javid> how do I turn off the forced disk check on boot this seems to do periodically?
[06:24] <bobbob1016> natb: System -> Preferences -> Sessions
[06:24] <natb> sadly im running e16, not gnome
[06:25] <natb> but i assume there is a command line way of doing things
[06:25] <nandemonai> natb: Or System -> Services too ;)
[06:25] <jeffferrari> mdk3: hey, sorta ran out of ideas so I googled: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902&page=37 I strongly suggest trying a different driver. Don't know why, but ndiswrapper is sorta picky
[06:26] <jeffferrari> mdk3: that page has some alternate drivers that people have had luck with
[06:26] <mdk3> jeff: thanks
[06:26] <arunkale> anyone here using thunderbird 2.0?
[06:26] <nandemonai> natb: update-rc.d service default will add something to the default runlevel.
[06:27] <stickto> arunkale: me
[06:27] <bobbob1016> Javid: http://micrux.net/?p=52
[06:27] <natb> im trying to add nm-applet to the startup in e16
[06:27] <blix> can never underestimate the value of recovery disks
[06:27] <blix> wish I made them straightaway
[06:27] <blix> :P
[06:27] <blix> :(
[06:27] <nandemonai> natb: Ohh that's a session thing.
[06:27] <natb> aha
[06:27] <arunkale> stickto: hey again :) i'm having some trouble with thunderbird 2, after it downloads new messages it hangs. any ideas? did you experience this as well?
[06:28] <nandemonai> natb: Not too sure on setting up enlightenment session stuff though sorry.
[06:28] <stickto> arunkale: sorry I haven't experienced the problem
[06:28] <nandemonai> natb: Should be something about sessions there somewhere.
[06:29] <natb> the sessions thing is in the menu, but doesnt actually launch anything, im guessing that is cos its a gnome app, and somethign isnt running
[06:30] <nathan> I'm having trouble installing flash for firefox...
[06:30] <nandemonai> natb: Yeah that would be for gnome or xfce. Enlightenment has just asimilated the menus. Umm should be something in the actual enlightenment config somewhere though.
[06:30] <nathan> I followed the instructions but it still says I need flash on websites..
[06:30] <natb> ok cool, ill keep diggin
[06:30] <jeffferrari> !flash | nathan
[06:30] <Ahadiel> nathan, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[06:30] <t4m1n0> hello there
[06:30] <ubotu> nathan: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[06:30] <t4m1n0> how can I open smb.conf in command line with gedit ?
[06:30] <natb> noone home in the #e room, which is why im in herre :), thanks for your help
[06:31] <jeffferrari> t4m1n0: gedit smb.conf
[06:31] <jeffferrari> or as root: sudo gedit smb.conf
[06:31] <balcudia> ola
[06:31] <nandemonai> t4m1n0: gksudo would be better ;)
[06:32] <jeffferrari> or sudo vi smb.conf even
[06:32] <deviantintegral> I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 on a file server with mdraid and LVM. I'm trying to use iostat to determine the load on my disks, but it's reporting obviously low numbers. For example, right now I'm reading and writing ~5 mb a second over the network, but iostat is only showing ~40 kbps. Any suggestions?
[06:32] <sahil> hey guys, i am in a big mess. My windows is acting crazy and all i get is a black screen when i boot into it. Luckily i have Ubuntu, but i cannot use my USB stick. It says unable to mount and that i should shut down windows properly, or unmount the drive properly from windows or run ntfsfix in linux. SInce i cant do the first 2, can someone help me on what to do
[06:32] <radioaktivstorm> Hello, is there a way I can get orage up and running on GNOME? I really like it and would like to use it, but it doesn't come up :(
[06:32] <nandemonai> Yup, using sudo rather than gksudo for gui apps can mess with confs is all.
[06:33] <neverblue> sahil, dual booting?
[06:33] <sahil> yeah
[06:33] <sahil> but this has never happened b4
[06:33] <neverblue> sahil, did you install windows before linux ?
[06:33] <sahil> yup
[06:34] <neverblue> sahil, when did the error occur, after booting from windows, or from linux ?
[06:34] <sahil> i have been using linux for over 6 months now, and everything is fine, i love linux, the problem is with windows and ntfs
[06:34] <sahil> windows
[06:34] <deviantintegral> sahil: it sounds like your USB stick is formatted with NTFS. After you fix it, you should format it as FAT32 to copy your data back on.
[06:34] <Javid> What's the command to bind a program to a command? the binfile is in /usr/bin, I just want to be able to run it with a quick command like other stuff
[06:34] <neverblue> sahil, what does your USB stick have to do with all this?
[06:34] <jeffferrari> nandemonai: theres something I didn't know :) I always use shell alternatives
[06:34] <sahil> can i format it to fat32 on linux, and if so how?
[06:34] <neverblue> good luck sahil
[06:34] <sahil> my USB stick is NTFS and wlinux will not mount it
[06:35] <t4m1n0> nandemonai: (gksudo:11319): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[06:35] <sahil> linux would mount it fine b4 this, but now im in a tizzy
[06:35] <neverblue> sahil, your OS issue and your USB issue, how are this related?
[06:35] <nandemonai> t4m1n0: Your not in X are you.
[06:35] <t4m1n0> nandemonai: ofcourse I am :)
[06:35] <_jason> Javid: should just work... what shell do you use?
[06:35] <t4m1n0> nandemonai: is it becouse of screen that was started not in X ?
[06:36] <Javid> whatever comes with Feisty out of the box
[06:36] <sahil> because my windows is on an NTFS drive, and my USB stick is formatted as NTFS and for some reason Ubuntu says it cannot mount it and i should run ntfsfix and that i have an unclean ntfs log file
[06:36] <_jason> !who | Javid
[06:36] <ubotu> Javid: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[06:36] <_jason> Javid: try opening a new terminal or run 'hash -r' in the current one then try just typing the command name again
[06:36] <nandemonai> t4m1n0: yes I only mentioned it because using sudo rather than gksudo in xterms is not the wisest. If your in a real tty session sudo to your hearts content ;)
[06:36] <arghh2D2> Knoppix rules!
[06:37] <sahil> neverblue, you know what i can do
[06:37] <neverblue> sahil, are you holding an OS on your USB stick?
[06:37] <arghh2D2> ubuntu's live cd dusnt werk on my coputer,  but knoppix does, no problem
[06:38] <sahil> neverblue, nope
[06:38] <neverblue> sahil, im not sure how the two can be related then
[06:38] <sahil> bcuz they are both NTFS and Ubuntu says i have an unclean ntfs log file, thats why
[06:38] <neverblue> sahil, even when you boot an the USB stick is not plugged in?
[06:38] <deviantintegral> sahil: so why not just unplug your uUSB key?
[06:39] <hitsuzen> Hi all, I had a quick question that might be slightly offtopic.  I'm setting up a samba share on my ubuntu server (7.04) and I was wondering where the best place to create the share is?  I'm not real hot on setting the share up in my home folder.
[06:39] <deviantintegral> I answered my own question: iostat needs a time parameter otherwise it shows stats since boot
[06:39] <sahil> neverblue, yeah even when I boot without the USB
[06:39] <sahil> deviantintergral unplug the usb key and then what?
[06:39] <PriceChild> hitsuzen, completely up to you.... /share? /var/share?
[06:39] <neverblue> sahil, if your having issues booting into windows thats one thing, but mixing your USB issue into the windows issue, well, leads to confusion, as they are not related
[06:39] <deviantintegral> sahil: and then boot?
[06:39] <PriceChild> hitsuzen, /home/share?
[06:40] <deviantintegral> hitsuzen: or /home/samba/
[06:40] <nandemonai> hitsuzen: Personally I use the /media dir but you can put them anywhere you like essentially.
[06:40] <deviantintegral> hitsuzen: or better yet, create a user just for sharing
[06:40] <hitsuzen> pricechild: so pretty much just create a new acct and use that for the shared folders?
[06:40] <deviantintegral> hitsuzen: on my media server, I have '/media/media' shared
[06:40] <t4m1n0> nandemonai: that's weird. I can open gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf in terminal and than gedit apper, but when I try gksudo, there is no gedit..
[06:40] <PriceChild> hitsuzen, whatever you want :)
[06:41] <sahil> neverblue, i don't think you got it right. Its not that i cannot boot into windows, its that when i do boot into it, it shows me a black screen. The usb issue is there bcuz ubuntu says i have an unclean ntfs log file, and my windows is on an ntfs partition and thats why i brought it in
[06:41] <deviantintegral> hitsuzen: if you create a new account it's home directory should be shared automatically
[06:41] <deviantintegral> so then you can just do \\host\userid
[06:41] <jshriver> greetings
[06:41] <neverblue> sahil, but its not related to you having a 'black' screen in windows
[06:41] <nandemonai> t4m1n0: That is weird.
[06:41] <hitsuzen> deviantintegral: heheh, ok, I'm just trying to be semi-security minded about it, I guess a new acct is probably a good idea
[06:41] <ozzloy> http://xrl.us/5csg  why can't i get a lock?
[06:41] <jeffferrari> !hello > jshriver
[06:41] <jshriver> anyone here know of a program to let you view remote webcams?
[06:41] <hitsuzen> I just hadn't considered it before
[06:42] <jshriver> hi jeffferrari
[06:42] <neverblue> sahil, so you boot into windows, and when does a black screen appear ?
[06:42] <t4m1n0> #
[06:42] <teb> Hi! I'm trying to upgrade from Edgy Eft to Feisty but when i run update-manager --dist-upgrade it goes through Fetching file 47 of 48 and stops
[06:42] <nandemonai> !gksudo
[06:42] <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
[06:42] <deviantintegral> hitsuzen: exactly, if the box is public at all then if they break that account it's not your account
[06:42] <nandemonai> t4m1n0: Check out that page.
[06:42] <sahil> the black screen appears after the windows logo comes and it loads
[06:42] <t4m1n0> nandemonai: maybe the reason is that sudo was allready working (superuser) from any other command
[06:42] <pozitiv> aa
[06:42] <hitsuzen> cool, thanks for the advice guys ;-)
[06:42] <t4m1n0> nandemonai: what page
[06:42] <neverblue> sahil, does it boot into windows or not ?
[06:43] <nandemonai> t4m1n0: possibly, I'm not sure.
[06:43] <nandemonai> !gksudo > t4m1n0
[06:43] <sahil> neverblue, it boots into windows, but only shows me a black screen, if i click around blidly i can see my processor light blinking since i most likely have clicked a program
[06:43] <neverblue> sahil, have you tried booting into safemode ?
[06:43] <sahil> neverblue, yes i have, and i also have tried the disk and tried to repair windows
[06:44] <Kerttuli_> can someone tell me how i can connect to my desktop remotely  from a windows pc?
[06:44] <radioaktivstorm> Hello, is there a way I can get orage up and running on GNOME? I really like it and would like to use it, but it doesn't come up :(
[06:44] <neverblue> sahil, do you have a dual video cards, or a video card with dual heads?
[06:44] <neverblue> Kerttuli_, VNC
[06:44] <neverblue> Kerttuli_, sudo aptitude search vnc
[06:44] <Kerttuli_> neverblue: hmm
[06:45] <sahil> i have ATI Radeon 9700 Mobility 256 MB,  i don't know what dual heads mean
[06:45] <teb> While upgrading Edgy Eft to Feisty I via update-manager --dist-upgrade I get a Error During Update box saying Failed to fetch http://malteo.homelinux.net/dists/edgy-malteo/Release.gpg Could not connect to malteo.homelinux.net:80 (82.51.94.168), connection timed out
[06:45] <neverblue> Kerttuli_, winVNC is available for the windows box
[06:45] <t4m1n0> is there any similar browser in ubuntu like konqueror in kubuntu?
[06:45] <t4m1n0> or that powerful..
[06:45] <neverblue> sahil, so this is on a laptop ?
[06:45] <Kerttuli_> neverblue: where do i get the address for my desktop from?
[06:45] <neverblue> t4m1n0, you can use it in Gnome as well
[06:45] <neverblue> Kerttuli_, which desktop, as you have two
[06:46] <sahil> neverblue, yes a laptop
[06:46] <nandemonai> teb: That's not an official repo.
[06:46] <planttt> l
[06:46] <Kerttuli_> i want to connect to this pc that i ahve ubuntu on
[06:46] <jrib> t4m1n0: you could use konqueror if that's what you really like
[06:46] <Kerttuli_> from a windows pc
[06:46] <t4m1n0> neverblue: yes but it's not for gnome..
[06:46] <t4m1n0> I mean not taht fast
[06:46] <teb> nandemonai: hmm... /me goes and checks his /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:46] <neverblue> sahil, is your output maybe going to 'the other screen', if you setup your display to go to another location, for example, you want your desktop output to a TV, you can do that
[06:47] <t4m1n0> jrib: what I really want is that I can make tabs in data browser..
[06:47] <neverblue> t4m1n0, it works for Gnome, thats all I can offer
[06:47] <teb> nandemonai: hah!  thank you very much, I had forgotten I added that repository 3 or 4 months ago
[06:47] <nandemonai> teb: ;) No sweat.
[06:48] <sahil> neverblue, how can i edit those options if i cant see the screen?
[06:49] <abhi> which drive name is sg0 and sg1 ?
[06:50] <neverblue> sahil, did you set it up that way, before you rebooted ?
[06:50] <neverblue> sahil, you said you were in windows, then rebooted, then started seeing the 'black screen'
[06:51] <DrClaw> how do you manually load a module that would usually start from the etc/module file
[06:51] <sahil> neverblue, yes i was in windows last, and then when i re-booted the problem occured, but how can i change the settings?
[06:51] <cosmodad_> are there any third-party repositories to install the acrobat reader under Feisty?
[06:51] <nandemonai> DrClaw: modprobe
[06:51] <DrClaw> thanks
[06:52] <neverblue> sahil, did you change it (when you were able to be in windows) so that the display was on a secondary screen ?
[06:52] <nandemonai> cosmodad_: Check out automatix for stuff like that, or the ubuntu guide for 3rd party stuff.
[06:52] <elkbuntu> !automatix
[06:52] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[06:52] <cosmodad_> nandemonai: no automatix, thanks. But I'll try later
[06:53] <n00dl3> nandemonai: Don't recommend automatix
[06:53] <cosmodad_> nandemonai: latter
[06:53] <vecnah> do someone know something like amd designer but for linux?
[06:53] <nandemonai> Noted
[06:53] <vecnah> amc
[06:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Automatix is NEVER a good idea
[06:54] <sahil> neverblue, i don't think i changed it
[06:54] <sahil> neverblue, do you know what i can do to fix it?
[06:54] <radioaktivstorm> and what bodes ill for Jack_Sparrow bodes ill for all of us.
[06:54] <radioaktivstorm> no automatix
[06:54] <neverblue> sahil, then you wouldnt need to change anything back
[06:54] <radioaktivstorm> :P
[06:55] <sahil> neverblue, so what should i do?
[06:55] <elkbuntu> radioaktivstorm, what about that which bodes ill for an ubuntu/debian developer?
[06:55] <nandemonai> Well I dont wanna start a flame or anything but I've never had issues. That being said I COMPLETELY understand the point of view your making.

[06:55] <nathan> I am having trouble installing flash.. I followed the instructions but I can't figure out how to enable it in firefox
[06:55] <blackest> does anyone know of a program that takes a bunch of random files and attempts to identify them and give them a correct extension ?
[06:55] <nandemonai> Smart alecs.
[06:55] <nandemonai> Heh.

[06:56] <nathan> Jack_Sparrow: I installed the flash-notfree
[06:56] <nathan> Jack_Sparrow: but it tells how to enable for konquerer, not ffox
[06:56] <vas> hey how do I find what version of ubuntu I have
[06:57] <yvonne_> hey all
[06:57] <vas> I am not sure if it is gutsy or feisty
[06:57] <Jack_Sparrow> nathan: Someone here will know... You might ask In Kubuntu since you are using a KDE app
[06:57] <PriceChild> vas, lsb_release -a
[06:57] <vas> PriceChild: thnx./xgl_install.sh
[06:57] <sahil> neverblue, lol, just getting a lil ansy
[06:57] <nathan> I'm not using a KDE app
[06:57] <yvonne_> can anyone give me some heads up on extracting .exe files?? i've tried unzip xyz.exe but it doesnt work
[06:57] <Jack_Sparrow> nathan: Konq is not a KDE app?
[06:57] <faileas> yvonne_ try running em in wine?
[06:57] <nathan> firefox is what I'm using
[06:58] <Jack_Sparrow> nathan: Got it..
[06:58] <nathan> the instructions they give are for konqueror
[06:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash
[06:58] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[06:58] <yvonne_> faileas: well i'm tyring to update my bios, i've got a great tutorial on how to do it under ubuntu providing i can extract the .exe to get the tool and image out, i've tried wine also and i just get errors
[06:59] <neverblue> hmm
[06:59] <nathan> yes those are the instructions I'm talking about
[06:59] <faileas> yvonne: .exes could be any compression format... that makes it a PITA
[06:59] <vas> where is sources.list located?
[06:59] <vas> ubuntu fiesty
[06:59] <yvonne_> faileas: any ideas how i can get into it?
[06:59] <Pici> vas: /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:59] <vas> thnx

[06:59] <neverblue> vas, /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:00] <faileas> yvonne_ : hmm... not really. i dual boot so i'd switch oses
[07:00] <yvonne_> faileas: yeh, just other thing, locate is the default search command isn it?
[07:00] <Slart> yvonne_: if you're desperate you could create a freedos boot disk and run it there.. depending on what kind of exe-file it is
[07:00] <faileas> yvonne_ i never use search >_>
[07:00] <Jack_Sparrow> yvonneAre there instructions where you got the update to do it from a bootable floppy...
[07:00] <Tilllinux> heya all
[07:00] <Slart> you could probably do the freedos thing in vmware too I guess
[07:01] <yvonne_> Slart: ummmm
[07:01] <rick__> hi.. i am thinking of installing kde on my ubuntu
[07:01] <arunkale> I'm using Thunderbird 2 on Ubuntu. Every time Thunderbird downloads new messages on startup, it just freezes and I have to force quit. Any ideas as to how I can fix this?
[07:01] <rick__> is there a package avail... i dont see it at the Add / remove
[07:01] <arunkale> Also, it downloads the same bunch of messages over and over
[07:01] <Jack_Sparrow> rick__: works fine.. but make a full backup before you do... It does make some minor changes to your ubuntu install..
[07:01] <yvonne_> Slart: actually, the turtorial i'm following is using freedos, do iu just copy the .exe over?
[07:01] <Tilllinux> try synaptics, rick__
[07:02] <bruenig> make a fullbackup?
[07:02] <rick__> synaptics = ?
[07:02] <Tilllinux> i think its kalled kde-desktop or something like that
[07:02] <n00dl3> arunkale: run it from terminal and see where it errors may help
[07:02] <bruenig> what kind of absurdity is that
[07:02] <bruenig> !info kde
[07:02] <slingintacos> hi all, i have a problem with installing ubuntu on a presario notebook
[07:02] <ubotu> kde: the K Desktop Environment official modules. In component universe, is optional. Version 5:47 (feisty), package size 7 kB, installed size 40 kB
[07:02] <slingintacos> it hangs when it gets to restarting system
[07:02] <Slart> yvonne_: if you have a freedos bootable floppy you could just copy it to the disk... I created a bootable freedos usb-drive some time ago.. it took some trying and a lot of reading weird docs but in the end it worked
[07:02] <cosmodad_> what's special about the medibuntu version of popular apps like k3b, mplayer, amarok?
[07:02] <slingintacos> anyone seen this happen before? or know how to fix it?
[07:02] <Jack_Sparrow> bruenig: We dont agree on a few things but since when is a full backup a problem for you.
[07:02] <bruenig> cosmodad_, I imagine they aren't 6 months old like ubuntu's
[07:03] <killux> is there any pmp video converter for linux?
[07:03] <Sp4rKy> cosmodad_: they are compiled with some option which enabled some part of non free code
[07:03] <bruenig> Jack_Sparrow, a backup before installing new applications seems a bit much
[07:03] <yvonne_> Slart: the tutorial i was reading basically stated how to create the disk, once created copy the bios tool and image over- but iu can extract the the .exe
[07:03] <rick__> i did a kde-desktop also, no results
[07:03] <bruenig> rick__, its just called kde
[07:03] <Tilllinux> can anyone help me with this: http://rafb.net/p/oTS9qA93.html ?
[07:03] <Adamska> Hi, I installed splashy with apt-get, i restarted but splashy didn't work, I modified my /boot/grub/menu.lst to enable it but it still doesn't run at startup, any idea?
[07:03] <deramin> slingintacos: hangs starting up or shutting down? do you know what it's hanging on?
[07:03] <rick__> tried that too
[07:03] <cosmodad_> so is it recommend to upgrade my apps to the medibuntu versions? don't wanna break things
[07:04] <slingintacos> on restart, after the install is finished and i eject the live cd
[07:04] <rick__> or shall i do apt-get
[07:04] <bruenig> rick__, sudo apt-get install kde
[07:04] <Jack_Sparrow> bruenig: A backup takes nothing to do.. and a full backup before installing an entire desktop is not a bad idea.
[07:04] <Slart> yvonne_: perhaps you can run the executable once you're booted into freedos.. depending on if it's a windows-binary or not
[07:04] <rick__> k, cool
[07:04] <Ahadiel> rick__, if you're trying to install kde, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[07:04] <bruenig> an entire desktop is just new applications
[07:04] <Slart> yvonne_: what kind of device are you trying to flash?
[07:04] <bruenig> its nothing really
[07:04] <yvonne_> Slart: motherboard
[07:04] <radioaktivstorm> rick__ try "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop"
[07:04] <nathan> I am having trouble installing flash.. I followed the instructions but I can't figure out how to enable it in firefox
[07:04] <Slart> yvonne_: what brand? model-nbr?
[07:04] <slingintacos> it's hung on [ 3080.592000]  restarting system.
[07:04] <bruenig> rick__, do not use aptitude on such a large meta package
[07:04] <yvonne_> Slart: i've just had a thought, i've got a windowz laptop, the only thing left maybe i could extract it on there
[07:05] <Adlai> bruenig: why
[07:05] <Tilllinux> nathan, did you install the firefox flash plugin?
[07:05] <Slart> yvonne_: that would probably work fine
[07:05] <bruenig> Adlai, meta package hell
[07:05] <yvonne_> Slart: well it's actually a compaq 7471, and the case is actually riveted shut
[07:05] <rick__> also when i tried to install my graphics driver.. it prompted for kernel and libc not installed
[07:05] <Jack_Sparrow> bruenig: But now you say not to use appitude... Yae ..
[07:05] <killux> is there any pmp video converter for linux?
[07:05] <Adlai> care to elaborate?  I'm curious
[07:05] <rick__> bruenig, ok.. i aint using anything i dont know
[07:05] <Tilllinux> rick__: try envy
[07:05] <bruenig> Adlai, let me see if  can find an example
[07:05] <nathan> Tilllinux: I installed firefox-notfree
[07:05] <Slart> yvonne_: ouch.. never messed with a compaq before.. well.. I would go with the laptop-solution.. seems the easiest way
[07:06] <Tilllinux> hm...
[07:06] <slingintacos> nathan: follow this guide: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_install_Flash_Player_.28Macromedia_Flash.29_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox
[07:06] <radioaktivstorm> bruenig, ive heard that is more effective to use aptitude than apt-get for the large ones... for better mileage when removing again. is this not true?
[07:06] <bruenig> Jack_Sparrow, Adlai http://pastebin.ca/653424
[07:06] <deramin> slingintacos: huh. Sorry, I don't know what that is.
[07:06] <Adlai> bruenig: I'm just wondering because I was always told _to_ use aptitude because it was better at doing fun stuff with dependencies
[07:07] <Adlai> which I assumed was more prevalent with meta-packages
[07:07] <Tilllinux> well I'm actually having touble with my usb harddisk, as it's write-protected since last boot
[07:07] <bruenig> Adlai, you want to remove one aspect of the meta-package and aptitude wants to remove the entire thing, apt-get because it gives you the option of removing dependencies or not won't do that, granted this is a problem mainly with the usage of meta-package hacks instead of a true package grouping system but still it is something you have to avoid
[07:07] <slingintacos> deramin: it's right after the live cd ejects, you know, when you restart the system for the first tiem
[07:07] <super-6-1> hello im getting some apps that say this program cant run on 1386 why
[07:07] <deramin> Tilllinux: what file system does the HD use?
[07:07] <Tilllinux> fat32
[07:07] <neverblue> super-6-1, for example, which app ?
[07:07] <Tilllinux> http://rafb.net/p/oTS9qA93.html
[07:07] <Tilllinux> there are hopefully all information in it, deramin
[07:08] <nathan> that says to install flashplugin-notfree, which is what I just said I did
[07:08] <yvonne_> Slart: i dont think my idea will work because the .exe is a full utility
[07:08] <deramin> slingintacos: I've never seen that error. I have no idea what it means.
[07:08] <super-6-1> \like kwifinamager
[07:08] <bruenig> nathan, nonfree, if that wasn't a typo
[07:08] <Adlai> so you're saying, if I install kubuntu-desktop once, then want to remove something, say KBattleship, I tell aptitude to remove it, and it assumes I want to remove the whole meta-package?
[07:08] <radioaktivstorm> bruenig, doesn't that come from installing using apt and removing with aptitude?
[07:09] <neverblue> supamatt, in KDE or Gnome ?
[07:09] <super-6-1> neverblue: like kwifimanager
[07:09] <bruenig> radioaktivstorm, not it comes from installing using aptitude and uninstalling using aptitude
[07:09] <neverblue> ops, super-6-1 I meant
[07:09] <Slart> yvonne_: ah.. so it's a flasher and image in one... that makes it harder.. isn't there some kind of parameter or switch to just extract the image?
[07:09] <bruenig> radioaktivstorm, I believe both are necessary for that scenario to occur
[07:09] <super-6-1> neverblue: meant what?
[07:09] <deramin> Tilllinux: have you checked the disk's permissions?
[07:10] <neverblue> super-6-1, are you using KDE or Gnome ?
[07:10] <yvonne_> Slart: not that i can see, u run the util and it asks for the floppy to be entered
[07:10] <super-6-1> Gnome i think
[07:10] <radioaktivstorm> brueni, hmm. i dont think i have ever encountered that problem. i usually use aptitude for installation and removal most of the time
[07:10] <radioaktivstorm> *bruenig
[07:10] <Tilllinux> deramin: what do you mean?
[07:10] <super-6-1> neverblue: i have the alternative installtion
[07:10] <neverblue> super-6-1, ubuntu or kubuntu ?
[07:10] <super-6-1> ubuntu
[07:10] <neverblue> then its Gnome
[07:10] <Slart> yvonne_: isn't it just creating a boot floppy? what happens if you insert an empty floppy?
[07:10] <neverblue> super-6-1, is that the only program your having an issue with ?
[07:11] <yvonne_> Slart: haha i havent got a fdd on the laptop only on this particular ubuntu mach9ine
[07:11] <slingintacos> deramin: ...thanks
[07:11] <super-6-1> neverblue: no most of theme say it
[07:11] <neverblue> super-6-1, sorry?
[07:11] <super-6-1> most of the programs i want to download say it
[07:11] <neverblue> super-6-1, how are you installing, say kwifimanager
[07:11] <Slart> yvonne_: sigh.. compaq aren't really keeping up with the times, are they... where did you find this exe-file?
[07:11] <slingintacos> deramin: but it's not an error, it's just hung on that line
[07:12] <super-6-1> neverblue: add/remove application
[07:12] <yvonne_> Slart: the exe file came off their website
[07:12] <deramin> Tilllinux: right click on the disk on desktop. go to properties, then permissions. make sure the owner has folder access to create and delete files. I'm not sure why they would cheange on reboot, but that should give you access.
[07:12] <neverblue> super-6-1, using command line, or synaptic?
[07:12] <t4m1n0> hm hm
[07:12] <super-6-1> non
[07:12] <super-6-1> neverblue: a program
[07:12] <tapas> hmm, i wonder how to install nvidia-glx for several kernels
[07:13] <Tilllinux> deramin: i've got permissions
[07:13] <neverblue> super-6-1, tha program name is .... ?
[07:13] <tapas> x tells me nvidia module not found
[07:13] <cramop> hi, can I get 3d acceleration?  VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter (rev 01)
[07:13] <t4m1n0> why when I paste into conversation window in gaim it simply colses the gaim ? :SS
[07:13] <super-6-1> add/remove program
[07:13] <tapas> but apt-get install nvidia-glx tells me it's already installed
[07:13] <super-6-1> thats it
[07:13] <neverblue> super-6-1, there isnt such a thing, only in windows
[07:14] <neverblue> super-6-1, sudo aptitude install kwifimanager
[07:14] <super-6-1> in 7.04 go to application and go down and you well see add/pemove
[07:14] <neverblue> do that in a command line
[07:14] <super-6-1> Okey ~
[07:14] <joshritger> what is the theme chooser for beryl called?
[07:14] <PriceChild> neverblue, add/remove is an application on ubuntu?
[07:14] <neverblue> i guess so
[07:14] <neverblue> never even looked at it before
[07:15] <Dr_willis> add/remove icon - just launches the package manager with some options to be in a more user-friendly-miode
[07:15] <Tilllinux> deramin: my problem is, that I've got rw permissions (the group sections says "root" which is strange and this root group hasn't got any permissions), but the disk is write-protected
[07:15] <Dr_willis> Yet another front end to the apt-get system.
[07:15] <unimatrix9> yvonne_ ah , to late
[07:15] <Dr_willis> i was going to say 'idiot' friendly mode. :) but wanted to be nice.
[07:15] <Dr_willis> heh heh.
[07:15] <neverblue> hehe
[07:15] <unimatrix9> any one know yvonne_ in person?
[07:15] <neverblue> super-6-1, did you receive any errors?
[07:16] <Adlai> it's idiot-retardant in the same way that tents are flame-retardant
[07:16] <neverblue> super-6-1, if so, and more than one line, please use 'pastebin'
[07:16] <neverblue> !pastebin | super-6-1

[07:16] <hitsuzen> ok, another samba question.  I put my server in the workgroup and I set up an acct in my home dir called share and set up a shared folder for it.  I have also edited my smb.conf file to to make it browseable and writeable, and restarted samba.  I see the share under mshome, but not the workgroup I assigned it to.  Any thoughts?

[07:16] <super-6-1> well im  not on my linux pc
[07:16] <super-6-1> ill brb i well
[07:17] <unimatrix9> if its asked again, there is an livecd to boot, and flash your bios, its an iso that you can use for that purpose
[07:18] <deramin> Tilllinux: but above the group should be a section called Owner: Folder access should be create and delete files, file access should be read-write. If those are set correctly (it sounds like they are), and it is a supported file system (fat32 is), then the file system is corrupt
[07:18] <unimatrix9> you can find it at http://www.bootdisk.com/
[07:19] <super-6-1> neverblue: my wireless if acting up
[07:19] <deramin> Tilllinux: root has no permissions in the disk I'm looking at too, so I don't think that's a problem. Also, can you read data, even if you can't write to the disk?
[07:19] <super-6-1> on my linux pc
[07:19] <Tilllinux> deramin: no, fileacces is set to " --- " ... if i change it to rw, it will change itself back again
[07:19] <unimatrix9> yes read only
[07:19] <neverblue> super-6-1, then use a wire :/
[07:19] <Tilllinux> deramin: yes i can read everything
[07:20] <super-6-1> cant
[07:20] <deramin> Tilllinux: huh. well, that's actually the way it's set on this disk too, so that shouldn't be an issue.
[07:20] <super-6-1> neverblue: cant
[07:20] <Slart> unimatrix9: an iso for flashing that bios? sounds nice
[07:20] <neverblue> super-6-1, then I cannot help you
[07:20] <super-6-1> well hold on
[07:20] <neverblue> super-6-1, maybe your internet issue is related to you installing packages???
[07:20] <Tilllinux> well deramin, then it must be the "write-protected" state of the disk
[07:20] <super-6-1> maybe ill look at it hold on
[07:20] <Tilllinux> whyever it's set
[07:21] <super-6-1> my wireless adapter should work out of the bax so trhe wiki said

[07:26] <lee_> hi, where can i get decent skydome images from
[07:27] <deramin> Tilllinux: was it set as write protected in a previous life of did it do this on its own? if on its own, then given what else you've said, I think the file system may be corrupt
[07:27] <carlosperu> hi
[07:27] <Bruum> what means "Error : Dependency is not satisfiable : libc6" ? trying to install ndiswrapper
[07:28] <cosmodad_> Bruum: that you cannot install libc6 due to a dependant package which cannot be installed for some reason
[07:28] <carlosperu> server to IRChispano?
[07:28] <kurosaki> Bruum, It means that it's looking for a version of libc6 you don't have or it's not installed.
[07:29] <cosmodad_> Bruum: err: that you cannot install libc6 which is the dependency
[07:29] <Tilllinux> deramin: i never told it to be write protected (well, i hope i didn't) but i dont think the file system is corrupt, either
[07:29] <Bruum> okay, thaks downloading that now
[07:29] <Tilllinux> well, i'll try to write on it with windows
[07:30] <deramin> Tilllinux: that's a good test. everything I've read says that it's either bad permissions, an NTFS file structure, or a corrupt file system

[07:39] <MrCollins> i should have looked it up... this channel is like a bad addiction but everyone is so nice :)
[07:39] <cosmodad_> it's so boring when all you do these days is throw factoids at users ;)
[07:39] <MrCollins> thx again unimatrix9
[07:39] <unimatrix9> MrCollins open arena is also nice, its an open source arena version
[07:40] <MrCollins> really? cool man is that a free download?
[07:40] <unimatrix9> http://openarena.ws/?about
[07:40] <MrCollins> cool
[07:40] <unimatrix9> freed download , zero install
[07:40] <tdn> In a shellscript, how do I get the PID of a process I just started in the bagground?
[07:40] <MrCollins> ty
[07:40] <waldo323> i found that game in synaptic
[07:40] <unimatrix9> just read first afcause...:P
[07:41] <cosmodad_> tdn: that should probably be asked in #bash if nobody knows here, assuming you're using bash
[07:41] <unimatrix9> although i prefer american army
[07:41] <unimatrix9> and unreal tournament
[07:42] <HelpMe> I have a problem with total annihilation! I try to install it from the disk bye opening the setup.exe file with wine then the thing comes up saying if i want to install. I click the install thing and it starts to install, but when it gets to the end, it says "Install Failed! Unable to find readme.txt."
[07:42] <unimatrix9> LOL
[07:42] <unimatrix9> HelpMe what is this that you are asking?
[07:42] <unimatrix9> are you an virus?
[07:42] <bigdog> I am trying to install 7.04 for the first time (first ubuntu install).   I created a LVM on Suse Linux 10.2, and created a spot on the LVM to install Ubuntu.  The problem is that the 7.04 installer does not recognize the LVM.   I just booted from the desktop dvd, and clicked on "install".  How do I install Ubuntu 7.04 into an existing LVM structure?
[07:43] <Adlai> bigdog: have you tried the "Manual" partitioning scheme?
[07:43] <unimatrix9> bigdog, choose the partition and format as lvm in ubuntu?
[07:43] <robnick> HelpMe: That's odd. Move to the wine temp dir and touch readme.txt ?
[07:43] <Adlai> it should open up gparted and let you go from there
[07:43] <HelpMe> robnick:  say wahhhh o.O  ?
[07:43] <neverblue> tdn, use an &
[07:43] <unimatrix9> HelpMe, is strange....
[07:43] <bigdog> adlai: yes I tried manual,  It did not recognize the LVM partition
[07:43] <Javid> HelpMe: are you using a terminal and doubleclicking the EXE?
[07:44] <Javid> and/or
[07:44] <lee_> whats the command prompt to install snort?
[07:44] <Byan> has anyone been able to print from vista to a cups printer?
[07:44] <|FrOst|> has it lvm in  drop down box
[07:44] <bigdog> I don't want to erase the existing LVM structure, so I am reluctant to click on format
[07:44] <Adlai> bigdog: what is the output of fdisk -l while running the livecd?
[07:44] <Javid> HelpMe: are you using a terminal and typing wine whatever.exe, or doubleclicking the EXE icon?
[07:44] <bigdog> Frost: I don't think so
[07:44] <cosmodad> neverblue: how'd that give the pid?
[07:44] <unimatrix9> i have been able to format vista into an ghost script file...
[07:44] <unimatrix9> :P
[07:44] <Adlai> (to pastebin)
[07:44] <cosmodad> neverblue: such that you can use it in the script
[07:44] <HelpMe> Javid: NO
[07:44] <neverblue> cosmodad, I thought you wanted to run it in the bg
[07:45] <HelpMe> Javid:  sorry, caps ;)
[07:45] <|FrOst|> :(
[07:45] <bigdog> just a second guys,  Let me switch machines and reboot the live cd
[07:45] <deramin> So, I have a Corega cardbus wireless adapter, which uses the RaLink rt2500 driver (which I'm 85% sure is pre-installed). When I plug it in, the computer detects the wireless network in here, but it won't connect to it. the network in unsecured. I know the network is working. Anyone have any suggestions?
[07:45] <cosmodad> neverblue: first, it was tgn. second, he asked how to get the pid
[07:45] <Javid> HelpMe,  it was a two option question, which one are you no-ing?
[07:45] <NMajik> Why would I be prevented from using chown while root?
[07:45] <cosmodad> neverblue: tdn even
[07:45] <quaal> why is it that when i CTRL-ALT-F* to another virtual terminal and then CTRL-ALT-F7 back to X it just gives me a black screen with the mouse pointer and i have to press the power or reset button on my computer
[07:45] <Adlai> NMajik: it's not root's file to chown?
[07:45] <neverblue> cosmodad, as someone suggested earlier, might want to ask in #bash
[07:46] <cosmodad> neverblue: right, I did :)
[07:46] <NMajik> Adlai: The folder permissions look like it is
[07:46] <t4m1n0> hello there
[07:46] <t4m1n0> again
[07:46] <Adlai> quaal: maybe try F8 or F9
[07:46] <cosmodad> neverblue: just thought you knew a way
[07:46] <cosmodad> neverblue: since you answered
[07:46] <zipper> I have 2 soundcards. I know that both works. How do i select which one should be the primary one (the one applications should use, or at least Amarok)?
[07:46] <HelpMe> Javid:  oh, haha, right clicking and opening with wine
[07:46] <neverblue> cosmodad, i gave you an incorrect answer, time for you to move on :)
[07:46] <quaal> it means you do not have libc6
[07:46] <Javid> open a terminal in that folder and do "wine file.exe"
[07:46] <unimatrix9> deramin does it show up in the network applet on your gnome desktop right corner?
[07:47] <Adlai> NMajik: so root has write permissions?
[07:47] <msound> hi everyone... i am building alsa-utils, and it is asking for a package curses... where can i find that package?
[07:47] <armyriad> Why did Canonical start shipping 7.04 instead of 6.06 LTS?
[07:47] <NMajik> Adlai: I believe so. I can read and write to the folder as root.
[07:47] <HelpMe> Javid:  how do i open a terminal in that folder?
[07:47] <deramin> unimatrix9: the network shows up there, yes
[07:47] <Javid> right click in a blank space in the folder and click open terminal here
[07:48] <Adlai> NMajik: care to pastebin the output of ls -l and chmod whateveryouwantedtodo ?
[07:48] <unimatrix9> deramin, is it set to roaming?
[07:48] <Trae> does anyone here know how I can easily (i'm a moron heh) to throttle upload traffic on a certain port?
[07:49] <tdn> cosmodad, actually I am using zsh.
[07:49] <NMajik> Adlai: Just let me figure out how to use pastebin...
[07:49] <deramin> unimatrix9: I don't know. how do I find out/set it?
[07:49] <Adlai> !pastebin | NMajik
[07:49] <Javid> HelpMe, did it work?
[07:49] <ubotu> NMajik: 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)
[07:49] <HelpMe> there is no open terminal
[07:49] <tdn> neverblue, that is just to start it in the bagground. I need the PID of it.
[07:49] <Javid> ok
[07:49] <deramin> unimatrix9: oh, nm found it. it is roaming
[07:49] <Ahadiel> HelpMe, just open a terminal, and cd /media/cdrom
[07:49] <cosmodad> tdn: #zsh
[07:49] <Ahadiel> HelpMe, then wine setup.exe
[07:50] <HelpMe> ok
[07:50] <HelpMe> then what
[07:50] <unimatrix9> deramin, and you also have an wired connection , and are using gnome?
[07:50] <tdn> cosmodad, yes. I already asked in there. I saw that you just joined and left in there :)
[07:50] <Javid> HelpMe, then "wine filename.exe"
[07:50] <cosmodad> tdn: yeah wondered if it existed :)
[07:50] <deramin> unimatrix9: wired connection works fine, though is not connected while trying the wireless (this is a different comp). I am using gnome
[07:50] <waldo323> tdn, you do know the command you're trying to find the pid for right?
[07:50] <NMajik> Adlai: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35279/
[07:51] <NMajik> Adlai: Specifically Shared
[07:51] <phanto1> Broken package in Synaptik, compiz and gnome-compiz. How to fix? 64 ubuntu
[07:51] <waldo323> (oops, irc wasn't scrolling not sure if tdn's question has already been answered)
[07:51] <cosmodad> waldo323: I think he wants to fork off and get the pid right away
[07:51] <HelpMe> Javid:  ok, i think it worked, how do i open it?
[07:51] <waldo323> ah
[07:52] <cosmodad> just a guess
[07:52] <orudie> what is the best web hosting server application for ubuntu?
[07:52] <Adlai> NMajik: I take it you're trying to chmod 'disk' ?
[07:52] <unimatrix9> deramin there is an package that is called wifi-radar, install it if you can and try to connect using that , or
[07:52] <NMajik> Adlai: Shared
[07:52] <Calix> im having problems linking executables to /usr/local/bin for this framework package using this command: find /opt/metasploit/framework-3.0/ -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -name README -print -execute ln -s {}
[07:52] <MajorVictory> what's the command to format a drive?
[07:52] <Calix> its returning an error find: invalid predicate `-execute'
[07:52] <Javid> HelpMe, open what? it should just run the installer like you wanted
[07:52] <unimatrix9> deramin, configure your card , manual, and not use roaming...
[07:52] <Calix> any ideas?
[07:52] <MajorVictory> i need to completely format my /dev/hdb
[07:52] <Adlai> NMajik: so what does chmod give you, and what command are you running?
[07:53] <cosmodad> Calix: it's "-exec" I think
[07:53] <Calix> yeah sorry i was using -exec
[07:53] <Javid> HelpMe, Applications -> Wine -> Programs is the wine program list
[07:53] <Calix> i tried -execute to see if that worked after
[07:53] <unimatrix9> deramin, iconfig on terminal ( gnome desktop ) will give some info on the network
[07:53] <cosmodad> MajorVictory: just create a new file system, e.g. fr ext3 use mkfs.ext3 (careful, though)
[07:53] <NMajik> Adlai: I was using chown. The errors run off the screen because I used the -R switch
[07:53] <unimatrix9> !wireless
[07:53] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:53] <unimatrix9> documentation is found there!
[07:53] <NMajik> Adlai: Should I use chmod instead?
[07:53] <Pici> Calix: I wonder if its a bash/dash issue.
[07:53] <Adlai> NMajik: well then paste some of it
[07:54] <cosmodad> Calix: and does it say similar with -exec?
[07:54] <Adlai> I don't know, it depends what you want to do
[07:54] <MajorVictory> i need it to be ntfs, will mkfs.ntfs work?
[07:54] <Calix> same exact thing with exec
[07:54] <cosmodad> Calix: try appending "\;" in the end
[07:54] <deramin> unimatrix9: ok, let me try this. though I believe manual configuration also failed. I'll get back to you in a moment
[07:54] <Pici> !dash | calix
[07:54] <ubotu> calix: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to  #! /bin/bash 
[07:54] <unimatrix9> deramin  , i have to go, but you can sure ask anyone here
[07:54] <unimatrix9> good luck friend
[07:54] <tdn> waldo323, yes.
[07:54] <unimatrix9> :)
[07:55] <deramin> unimatrix9: thanks for the help
[07:55] <Calix> says dash not found
[07:55] <ghatak> Hi, i just added a new hard drive to my system, it is detected as /dev/sdb, i am trying to mount /dev/sdb1 to /home/user/mountpoint
[07:55] <unimatrix9> deramin
[07:55] <cosmodad> Calix: did you try what I proposed?
[07:55] <unimatrix9> one final thought is this website http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=179314
[07:55] <waldo323> tdn, ps -aux|awk '/command/{print $2}'
[07:56] <NMajik> Adlai: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35280/
[07:56] <unimatrix9> take an read there too..
[07:56] <Calix> cosmo
[07:56] <Calix> your a star mate
[07:56] <Calix> that did it
[07:56] <ghatak> I have the follwing line in fstab  /dev/sdb1  /home/user/mountpoint ext3    defaults        0       2
[07:56] <MajorVictory> what can i use for the fs-options argument to make it do the whole drive?
[07:56] <Calix> the \; at the end i mean
[07:56] <unimatrix9> i am sure you will get it working ..
[07:56] <unimatrix9> :)
[07:56] <cosmodad> Calix: I thought so :)
[07:56] <ghatak> the mountpoint gets owned by root, i can not read and write to it as user
[07:56] <Calix> why did it need that though?
[07:56] <unimatrix9> by bye all
[07:56] <bitviper> Anyone care to help a guy that has an Nvidia api mismatch problem?  (I've added nv to the blacklist)
[07:56] <waldo323> tdn, you can change the ps args if you need to
[07:56] <ghatak> What do i need to change ?
[07:56] <MajorVictory> so far i've got "sudo mkfs -t ntfs /dev/hdb"
[07:57] <unimatrix9> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=179314 for deramin read read
[07:57] <tdn> waldo323, that is not the right approach.
[07:57] <Adlai> NMajik: clearly, there are some other files that root does not own
[07:57] <tdn> waldo323, what if two identical commands was issued?
[07:57] <murtadashah> hey guys... I'm looking for a list of ubuntu sources... my system is usinng ca.archive.ubuntu.com and it's uber slow
[07:57] <tdn> waldo323, I'm not 100% sure that I will get the correct PID.
[07:57] <cosmodad> MajorVictory: do you want to re-use that drive or just delete it?
[07:57] <tdn> waldo323, I think I need to use $!.
[07:57] <neverblue> murtadashah, it usually is, change them all to us.archive....
[07:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !easysource
[07:57] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[07:58] <murtadashah> ok thanks
[07:58] <MajorVictory> i want to install windows on it
[07:58] <MajorVictory> i've got a nother drive that i'll be using for linux later
[07:58] <cosmodad> MajorVictory: then just start the Windows installer and let it do the formatting
[07:58] <waldo323> tdn, right, sorting the ps output would help
[07:58] <MajorVictory> anyways i just want it empty and with the ntfs filesystem
[07:58] <c0mp13371331337> Okay..... so I just rebooted my machine and for some reason it couldn't mount my home partition, sda2.  Brought me straight to a terminal as root, not GUI at all.
[07:58] <cosmodad> MajorVictory: there's no need to let Linux do the partitioning
[07:58] <c0mp13371331337> WEIRD.
[07:59] <Adlai> NMajik: you'd be better off rethinking whether you really need to chown -R that, and I'd be better off in the shower, so good luck
[07:59] <MajorVictory> it should work now then, i had to consolidate the partitions into one huge one
[07:59] <NMajik> Adlai: OK thanks
[07:59] <tdn> waldo323, no.
[08:00] <waldo323> tdn, oh ok,   are there possibly lots of the same command running?
[08:00] <cosmodad> MajorVictory: if you're worried about security, use a wiping tool. Otherwise, just delete partitions you don't want and let the Windows installer do the rest
[08:00] <cosmodad> MajorVictory: in fact, Windows can create its own filesystem :)
[08:00] <MajorVictory> yeah i know that
[08:00] <Jack_Sparrow> MajorVictory: You can always exit the windows installer after it creates and formats the partitions..
[08:00] <TU> Is thgre anyway to disable the ultra annoying "this command was not found install package X to get it"
[08:00] <MajorVictory> i just wanted to wipe the drive but it should work now
[08:01] <TU> it slows the console down a crap load
[08:01] <slavik> how can I get the mail notification apple (4.0) to be able to know if there is new mail on an exchange server without having evolution open?
[08:01] <bigdog> [newbie install - lvm]   I rebooted into the live disk.   and selected manual partion to try to install into an existing LVM structure.   The LVM was not recognized, and LVM was not part of the drop down.  The size of the partion was correct, but it was marked as type unknows.  I tried typing evms, but it was not installed.
[08:01] <originlabs> TU I'd be interested an answer as well.  Saying that, how often do you try to run programs which aren't installed?
[08:01] <bigdog> I executed the apt-get, but It said "engine not installed"
[08:02] <TU> originlabs: it isn't that i try to do it, it's the fact that ANYTIME you misspell a command it looks :P
[08:02] <TU> originlabs: so if i do r, instead of rm it tries ot look for it
[08:02] <TU> and i think the command is going to i shufffle away and then i look back and it never happened hehe
[08:02] <originlabs> TU: Lol.  I do that a lot actually.  It seems to have stopped working on my system :)
[08:02] <bigdog> I am using the desktop version of 7.04.  Should I use the server version for LVM ?
[08:03] <TU> originlabs: it annoys the christ out of me honestly
[08:03] <TU> and i don't need it
[08:03] <cosmodad> bigdog: it's the same lvm
[08:03] <TU> i know how to search for stuff
[08:03] <bigdog> cosmodad: so LVM should be part of the desktop 7.04 install process?
[08:04] <originlabs> TU: My best guess is it would be some sort of Bash-Completion plugin
[08:04] <cosmodad> bigdog: it is
[08:04] <slavik> how can I get the mail notification apple (4.0) to be able to know if there is new mail on an exchange server without having evolution open?
[08:04] <bigdog> cosmodad: Is LVM standard across Distro's  I created the LVM under YAST on SUSE 10.3 beta 2
[08:04] <TU> originlabs: yea i don't doubt it
[08:04] <TU> i want it gone though
[08:05] <cosmodad> bigdog: there's basically lvm 1 and 2. But you can easily use lvm2 on a lvm1-created set of lv
[08:05] <cosmodad> s
[08:05] <cosmodad> bigdog: Feisty comes with lvm2
[08:05] <saunameister> hi folks.. i need your help, since today i hate my ubuntu
[08:05] <saunameister> the login screen goes fine, 1440x1050@85Hz.. but after login it switches to another mode and starts flickering! argh.
[08:05] <TU> originlabs: solved.
[08:05] <saunameister> gnome-display-properties only let me set 50Hz,55Hz,56Hz,57Hz.. WTF?
[08:05] <bigdog> cosmodad: that is what SUSE uses, so this should work....
[08:05] <TU> ls
[08:05] <TU> originlabs: solved
[08:05] <cosmodad> bigdog: yeah
[08:05] <TU> originlabs: in /etc/ theres a file called bash_command_not_found
[08:05] <TU> originlabs: comment out the middle line of the function
[08:05] <cosmodad> bigdog: I wouldn't install the root partition into a logical volume, though. It's more difficult and can be troublesome at situations
[08:05] <originlabs> TU: Ahhh, excellent!
[08:06] <cosmodad> bigdog: but that's just my opinion
[08:06] <bigdog> cosmodad: do I need to active LVM2 on 7.04 ?
[08:06] <TU> originlabs: agreed hehe
[08:06] <cosmodad> bigdog: you need to install lvm packages, then it starts a daemon
[08:06] <TU> fucking thing
[08:06] <TU> still lages
[08:06] <TU> lags
[08:06] <TU> but way not as much
[08:06] <Pici> !ohmy | TU
[08:06] <ubotu> TU: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:06] <bigdog> cosmodad: I put /boot in a standard partition, but I have always installed everything else in the LVM.
[08:07] <TU> i'm leaving anyway :P
[08:07] <TU> thanks all
[08:07] <originlabs> bye....
[08:07] <TU> originlabs: good luck hope that helps
[08:07] <waldo323> tdn, would the last line of jobs -p be the process you're looking for?
[08:07] <MajorVictory> ok the installer refuses to recognize the disk
[08:07] <cosmodad> bigdog: can't help you with the root-on-lvm thing, always avoided that
[08:07] <bigdog> cosmodad: does ubuntu prefer a hard partition?  I usually install many os's for testing purposes
[08:07] <saunameister> i never changed my xorg.conf - only used wine
[08:08] <cosmodad> bigdog: a "hard partition"?
[08:08] <MajorVictory> how can i simply reformat the whole fucking thing
[08:08] <PriceChild> !ohmy | MajorVictory
[08:08] <ubotu> MajorVictory: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:08] <MajorVictory> sorry i'm really mad right now because everything i do is plagued with complications and trouble
[08:08] <akirch> MajorVictory, it's pronounced "fscking"

[08:08] <neverblue> MajorVictory, did you read the documentation related to what you are doing ?
[08:08] <originlabs> akirch: lol
[08:08] <bigdog> cosmodad: did you see the LVM as an option during your install?
[08:09] <MajorVictory> no
[08:09] <MajorVictory> i'm on a really really slow computer
[08:09] <neverblue> MajorVictory, reading == less frustration
[08:09] <lee_> any1 know the best place to get wallpapers and skydomes for ubuntu
[08:09] <MajorVictory> it barely runs chatzilla
[08:09] <cosmodad> bigdog: I manually installed the server edition of Feisty recently and yes, it did show that
[08:09] <bigdog> cosmodad: Or did you just install into /, then add LVM for disk subsystems?
[08:09] <neverblue> MajorVictory, what are you trying to do?
[08:09] <cameronm> lee_: art.gnome.org has some decent wallpaper
[08:09] <MajorVictory> reformat my harddrive
[08:09] <MajorVictory> linux knows it as /dev/hdb
[08:09] <neverblue> MajorVictory, the entire thing?
[08:09] <bigdog> cosmodad: I will try the server live disk
[08:09] <MajorVictory> yes
[08:09] <lee_> thanx

[08:09] <m_orph> Aybody: Any known issues with Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG on Ubuntu 7.04? As soon I connect to mine access point profile, my access point crashes and I need to restart it. This has never happened on any of my other OpenSuSe/WinXP machines.
[08:09] <cosmodad> bigdog: I installed Feisty into a non-lvm partition, and after booting from the disk, installed the lvm packages and remounted my lvms which were there before
[08:09] <MajorVictory> yes
[08:10] <originlabs> lee_: check out interfacelift.org
[08:10] <neverblue> MajorVictory, im guessing you have multiple drives?
[08:10] <cosmodad> bigdog: I don't think it'll change a thing
[08:10] <|FrOst|> kde-look.org cameronm
[08:10] <benzs_s> hi, i have a movie in .bin format, is there a way i can watch it without burning it?
[08:10] <cosmodad> bigdog: the server edition is just a by-default-GUI-less Ubuntu
[08:10] <MajorVictory> no just the one hooked up to it right now
[08:10] <cosmodad> bigdog: it uses the same software
[08:10] <neverblue> MajorVictory, so you have a system, with one drive, and you want to format it ?
[08:10] <bigdog> cosmodad: ok,   I will install into a non lvm partion
[08:10] <MajorVictory> yes
[08:11] <cosmodad> bigdog: ok, but remember, just arecommendation. don'T know if it will solve your prob
[08:11] <neverblue> MajorVictory, what tools are you using to format?
[08:11] <MajorVictory> i want to put a clean install of windows on it
[08:11] <murtadashah> What's a fast window manager I can use with ubuntu? ... What is a popular ... I am assuming Gnome?
[08:11] <MajorVictory> but the installer is screwing up
[08:11] <Ravenndude`> Ok, I got the printer working on my printer / scanner / copier. How do I install the scanner part?
[08:11] <MajorVictory> neverblue: none, i don't know what to use
[08:11] <neverblue> MajorVictory, so your using the installer to format?
[08:11] <bigdog> cosmodad: understand, thanks
[08:11] <cosmodad> bigdog: I didn't even read your problem :)
[08:11] <MajorVictory> i was trying to, but it won't start the install process because there's something wornf with the disk
[08:12] <cosmodad> benzs_s: mplayer should be able to view it right away
[08:12] <MajorVictory> *wrong
[08:12] <bigdog> cosmodad: my problem is that the installer did  not recognize the existing LVM
[08:12] <cosmodad> benzs_s: and I think you can mount it loop-wise too
[08:12] <Adlai> murtadashah: xfce is probably faster, install xubuntu-desktop for that
[08:12] <cosmodad> bigdog: oh ok
[08:12] <neverblue> MajorVictory, well, if something wrong with the disk, you might think about doing something else?
[08:12] <benzs_s> mplayer has never worked for me
[08:12] <benzs_s> keeps giving -v0 errors or something
[08:12] <cosmodad> bigdog: then the install-into-non-lvm-partition approach should work
[08:12] <benzs_s> might as well try
[08:12] <bigdog> cosmod:  thanks
[08:12] <neverblue> MajorVictory, just to let you know, this has nothing to do with Ubuntu, nor this channel
[08:12] <murtadashah> thanks
[08:12] <MajorVictory> i just need to give it a clean wipe, right no0w it's messy, i had to edit partitions to be one big partition, and i think it's not very empty
[08:13] <Adlai> benzs_s: try 'mplayer -vo gl' or 'mplayer -vo gl2'
[08:13] <MajorVictory> i know it but i need to do it in linux
[08:13] <neverblue> MajorVictory, maybe yu might want to consider asking in another channel, maybe related to your topic
[08:13] <Adlai> you might also try making sure your video card is set up correctly
[08:13] <benzs_s> ah ha, i need a vcd decoder plugin apparently
[08:13] <benzs_s> to the forums!
[08:13] <cosmodad> MajorVictory: what about deleting the partitions with cfdisk or some GUI partition manager?
[08:13] <neverblue> MajorVictory, is linux on the system currently ?
[08:14] <anevilgerbal2> hello anyone know how to set up dial up on linux?
[08:14] <MajorVictory> no it's being run off of a disk
[08:15] <saunameister> hi, ich brauche eure Hilfe, seit heute flimmert mein Bildschirm unertrglich
[08:16] <saunameister> an der xorg.conf hab ich nichts gendert, der login-screen luft auch noch sauber mit 1440x1050@85Hz

[08:16] <JosefK> does anyone know how to configure the tv-out on a 7600GS to send composite instead of component output?
[08:17] <JosefK> nvtv doesn't seem to do the trick, and there isn't much in nvidia-settings
[08:18] <cosmodad> !tvout | JosefK
[08:18] <ubotu> JosefK: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*)
[08:18] <cosmodad> did you read that?
[08:19] <davide> ciao
[08:19] <davide> any italian?
[08:19] <JosefK> cosmodad, nope, thanks - the idea that I hadn't configured TVOutFormat or TVStandard just occured to me
[08:19] <arunkale> can anyone recommend any good IDEs?
[08:19] <JosefK> I'm getting black-and-white atm, I assumed I was only getting the luma
[08:19] <JDahl> how do I add a panel in Gnome?  I deleted the bottom panel by mistake,  and I can't find a menu for recreating it
[08:20] <cosmodad> arunkale: vim :)
[08:20] <arunkale> cosmodad: i've never used vim before.. is it easy to use?
[08:20] <cosmodad> arunkale: no :)
[08:20] <arunkale> ha
[08:21] <cosmodad> arunkale: after a couple of weeks or so, it is and will give you tremendous power
[08:21] <cosmodad> but prior to that: no
[08:21] <Ravenndude`> Ok, I got the printer working on my printer / scanner / copier. How do I install the scanner part?
[08:21] <arunkale> ok, so can you recommend any easy to use IDEs? I mostly work with XHTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP
[08:21] <cosmodad> Ravenndude`: to the least, you need sane
[08:21] <cosmodad> Ravenndude`: if you're lucky, xsane (the GUI) will find your scanner right away
[08:22] <Ravenndude`> Thanks, I'll try it.
[08:22] <cosmodad> arunkale: not really. I use vim
[08:22] <arunkale> alright cosmodad. thanks :)
[08:22] <cosmodad> arunkale: freshmeat.net knows though :)
[08:23] <Ravenndude`> cosmodad, it did. Thanks a lot.
[08:23] <arunkale> alright, will check it out
[08:23] <dewdude> wher would ubuntu mount a firewire hard drive by default?
[08:24] <deramin> dewdude: anything mounted should show up on the desktop
[08:24] <dewdude> ok
[08:24] <arunkale> is Anjuta IDE good?
[08:24] <neverblue> MajorVictory, so your using a ubuntu live CD to format the system because you have a bad windows CD?
[08:24] <deramin> dewdude: they're also in the media folder off the file system
[08:24] <Calix> how can i clear error'd symbolic links i created?
[08:25] <deramin> arunkale: My favorite IDE.
[08:25] <revow> Hi
[08:25] <arunkale> deramin: really? should i install it?
[08:25] <maverique> greetings
[08:26] <revow> anybody experienced in installing gimpshop?
[08:26] <deramin> arunkale: worth a shot. if you don't like it you can always get rid of it. it's not bells and whistles like Eclipse, but it's fast, has wonderful syntax highlighting, and nicely intigrates the command line
[08:27] <arunkale> deramin: that's what i want, i don't really want bells and whistles
[08:27] <notacake> anyone got any experience with compression algorithms?
[08:27] <arunkale> deramin: andi really don't want to use java-based stuff :p
[08:27] <maverique> can sobody tell how i can reset graphiics setting on ubuntu 6.10?
[08:28] <JosefK> heh, my problem was an incorrect TVStandard - if cosmodad nick-changed or checks the logs, cheers for the guide
[08:28] <Slart> notacake: since you're asking in here and not in some more specific channel I'll take a shot at your question
[08:28] <Automatrix> Hi folks );
[08:28] <deramin> arunkale: my teacher forced me. I begged to have my Anjuta back. it had some pluses (it's better on windows) but it still was too much. Anjuta's very customizable, too
[08:28] <Automatrix> does somebody know how I Install Google earth once, but tu use it with different users ?
[08:29] <notacake> Slart: well I've tried #compression, totally dead in there, basically I'm trying to figure out what algorithm some raw compressed data has been compressed with
[08:29] <maverique> i changed my pc's graphics card and since that ubuntu can boot in gnome
[08:29] <mdk3> PROBLEM: Having trouble executing "sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5a"... error reads -> "couldn't open bcmwl5a: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 217
[08:29] <arunkale> deramin: how do i go about installing anjuta
[08:29] <maverique> can't boot
[08:29] <Slart> notacake: ouch.. that sounds really really hard if not impossible.. unless there are some headers or magic numbers involved I'd say you won't have much success
[08:30] <notacake> Slart: as a last resort I'm going to write some code that just tries lots of algorithms with different settings, I know it'll be ASCII output so that's a start
[08:31] <deramin> arunkale: it should be in add/remove under applications. Under programming. if not, change the "show" menu in the upper right corner to "all available applications" and it'll be there
[08:31] <arunkale> alright
[08:31] <Slart> notacake: you have no idea what so ever what kind it might be?
[08:31] <arunkale> i read it's not in the repos so i didn't check, silly me
[08:32] <deramin> arunkale: it is. I stumbled on it there when I first installed it
[08:32] <Slart> notacake: I mean.. you could use the right algorithm but miss some padding at the start and you wouldn't even know it.. the number combinations are huuuuuuuge
[08:32] <EruditeHermit> how would I go about making a makefile for a program such as this
[08:32] <EruditeHermit> hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me to compile this program http://gtkmm.sourceforge.net/docs/gtkmm-2.4/examples/book/helloworld/
[08:32] <notacake> Slart: nope, doesn't seem to have any headers, it's from a proprietary format so it's probably striped the compression headers
[08:32] <arunkale> deramin: nice. what do you use it for?
[08:32] <Slart> notacake: do you have any idea what kind of data is it, once it uncompressed?
[08:33] <notacake> Slart: yeh I'm pretty sure I have one of the files uncompressed
[08:33] <Slart> notacake: "pretty sure" =) well.. I'd start comparing those and see if you can find anything resembling huffman trees etc..
[08:34] <anevilgerbal2> hello i need help with a netgear wg111v2 fir internet accsess its not working please help
[08:34] <secureboot> when I build a new Xen kernel on Ubuntu Gutsy, it hangs on the "fuse init" line - even when I uninstall libfuse and fuse-utils.  Where is this coming from, so that I might purge it?
[08:34] <deramin> arunkale: c++ school projects. but now they force us to use Java and it's not as good as eclipse for large java projects. I want my c++ back....
[08:34] <jrib> secureboot: gutsy help in #ubuntu+1
[08:35] <MajorVictory> neverblue: no, it won't recognize my drive
[08:35] <deramin> I have some raw IE bookmarks I need to get into firefox. is this possible? the original windows install they came from was purged. can I import them without running them back through IE?
[08:35] <inet_dude> Hi, after i install beryl (which works just fine if I run `beryl` from cmdline), I don't see the beryl loader- or an icon which I can use to launch it- should I just make one or is it provided with beryl-manager?
[08:35] <arunkale> i just installed virtualbox today.. i love it!
[08:35] <MajorVictory> and when it does it syas there's backup software and then it refuses to install
[08:35] <neverblue> MajorVictory, sorry, can you please be more clear in your responses
[08:35] <MajorVictory> again
[08:35] <arunkale> so easy, and less bloated than vmware
[08:35] <notacake> Slart: yeah looks like that's the way to go, I would reverse engineer the exe, but it's got an encrypted entry point
[08:36] <TylerJGillies> arunkale: whats virtualbox?
[08:36] <deramin> inet_dude: should be in system tools. the manager does it, though
[08:36] <Slart> notacake: someone really doesn't want you to have that information.. =)
[08:36] <inet_dude> deramin: see, thats the thing- when I run manager, there's no systray icon for beryl.
[08:36] <notacake> Slart: someone called "Microsoft" =)
[08:36] <iBucket> Dudes
[08:36] <Pc-Ente> hi
[08:37] <iBucket> If I install linux on my whole drive, will that do the same thign as writing my drive back to szeroes?
[08:37] <Slart> notacake: I'm surprised microsoft has any proprietary formats left to crack
[08:37] <LiveFire> Hi - Question.  I installed the server edition of Ubuntu.  I just restarted my computer after it finished installation, and each time it gets to a point that it wants to start, and then it says GRUB starting, initrd, boot - and my computer keeps rebooting over and over - what could be wrong?
[08:37] <iBucket> zeroes*
[08:37] <deramin> inet_dude: odd. there /should/ be one. look it up with synaptic and confirm you have all the pieces. can't think of why else that wouldn't show up
[08:37] <Slart> iBucket: not really.. but it will clear the hard drive
[08:37] <ph4mp573r> iBucket - if you mean erase your old data? yes. If you mean not boot, no.
[08:37] <arunkale> TylerjGillies: it's a virtualization software.. you can run other guest OSes (like windows xp, etc) inside of ubuntu
[08:37] <notacake> Slart: they have when it comes to the Xbox 360
[08:38] <mdk3> QUESTION: I'm currently dual-booting with XP and Ubuntu... How do i reinstall Ubuntu without affecting my XP partition?
[08:38] <iBucket> I want to get rid of EVERYTHING!!! then install ubuntu on the whole disc~
[08:38] <TylerJGillies> arunkale: like vnc?
[08:38] <binskipy2u> hey guys, anyone here using that Ubuntu ultimate 1.4? if so, whats your video card and how's video and compiz fusion working for you?
[08:38] <iBucket> Seeing as I seem to be having rpoblems with the partition
[08:38] <LT1Caprice57L> finally I remembered what I wanted to ask
[08:38] <Slart> iBucket: but if you're trying to destroy the information from the hard drive you'd be better off wiping the disk with some kind of specialized utility
[08:38] <doug_> 1register |
[08:38] <LT1Caprice57L> is it possible to create swap space after install
[08:38] <LT1Caprice57L> or do you have to reinstall?
[08:38] <doug_> !register
[08:38] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[08:39] <Slart> notacake: ah.. forgot about that "little toy" =)
[08:39] <ubuntu_> back
[08:39] <Slart> LT1Caprice57L: you can create swap space later.. but it's easier at the install
[08:39] <ubuntu_> (with pizza :P)
[08:39] <LT1Caprice57L> yeah I figured that much
[08:39] <LT1Caprice57L> though being the ham-fisted linux novice I am, I couldn't figure it out then either
[08:39] <neverblue> MajorVictory, you should really read about what your trying to do, your answers are really difficult to understand
[08:39] <mdk3> ham fisted, what a great description
[08:40] <LT1Caprice57L> lol
[08:40] <binskipy2u> so anyone using Ubuntu Ultimate 1.4?
[08:40] <LT1Caprice57L> I thought so when I first saw it, too
[08:40] <mdk3> =P
[08:40] <notacake> Slart: anyway I better get working, thanks for your time
[08:40] <iBucket> Slart, I repartitioned, and I think something went wrong and this makes linux run all crazy and mess up files, so reinstall linux on the whole disc would resolve this? Or would I have to manually write it back to zeroes first then install?
[08:41] <mdk3> QUESTION: I'm currently dual-booting with XP and Ubuntu... How do i reinstall Ubuntu without affecting my XP partition?
[08:41] <PriceChild> mdk3, the same way you installed ubuntu

[08:45] <nickrud> doug, one sec, gotta boot up a fiesty image
[08:45] <doug_> nickrud,  ok
[08:46] <neverblue> LiveFire, insert the CD back into the drive, then run the memory test
[08:47] <TheMafia> Slart, I will try it, thanks
[08:47] <LiveFire> neverblue - okay, let me go do that . Will be back in a few minutes.
[08:47] <iBucket> Slart, I repartitioned, and I think something went wrong and this makes linux run all crazy and mess up files, so reinstall linux on the whole disc would resolve this? Or would I have to manually write it back to zeroes first then install?
[08:47] <Chinaski1> how to use gksudo for a single command?
[08:48] <neverblue> it will take more than a few minutes :)
[08:48] <iBucket> I repartitioned, and I think something went wrong and this makes linux run all crazy and mess up files, so reinstall linux on the whole disc would resolve this? Or would I have to manually write it back to zeroes first then install?
[08:48] <doug_> nickrud,  nvm i got it now
[08:48] <Slart> iBucket: if your disk is starting to die on you a reinstall won't help.. but if the disk is ok then a reinstall will make it all better..
[08:48] <Chinaski1> i used once and the system does not ask again for password , i do not like this behaviour
[08:49] <TheMafia> Slart, I installed it, how do you get it into the panel?  It doesn't show up when I right click add to panel
[08:49] <Slart> iBucket: you don't have to write zeroes before you reinstall
[08:49] <Slart> TheMafia: hmm.. mine shows up as a little clock
[08:49] <iBucket> Yeh, the disk is fine, but I have reinstalled on the same partition multiple time snow, and it still doesn't work, so I;m going to let Ubuntu use up hte whole drive this time, should that remedy it ?
[08:49] <LiveFire> neverblue - I was able to boot off the harddrive and enter the memtest from that way.  the mem test is running now
[08:50] <chickenF> Hi, Any ubuntu place on Second Life??
[08:50] <TheMafia> Slart, What is it called?
[08:50] <neverblue> LiveFire, make a tea or coffee, it might take sometime :)
[08:50] <nl> AcidMaX: still there? :)
[08:50] <|FrOstiE|> ahhhhh this is getting bad
[08:50] <Slart> iBucket: hmm... if you've reinstalled multiple times I don't think one more install is going to make it better... have you checked your install media so it's ok?
[08:51] <Chinaski1> anyone can help with gksudo?
[08:51] <wousser> whats the wiki page about the ubuntu logo?
[08:51] <Slart> TheMafia: I click "Add to panel", then on the first little space there is a thing called "Timer".. in the about window of the applet it says it's called "Timer Applet 1.3.2"
[08:52] <iBucket> The install media is the liveCD which is errorless last time I checked. But as I said, I repartitioned, to make the linux part bigger and made the windows thing smaller, then reinstalled linux. I have been told that there might be somethign wrong with the partition. So, if I were to let linux reinstall on hte wholllleee drive, it shoudl eliminate thata mirite?
[08:52] <Slart> iBucket: if the partition is somehow broken then I don't think installing on the whole drive would make it better.. but I'm not sure.. I would get some kind of rescue cd and check the drive
[08:53] <nickrud> iBucket, I had a problem with the partitions; I ended up having to reformat all of them to get the partition table cleaned up. I saw the error with fdisk
[08:53] <iBucket> oh fuxxit.
[08:53] <fevel> can someone please help me ? im trying to access a directory on apache but I get 111 conection refused. Do you guys think it has something to do with my transparent proxy?
[08:53] <fevel> I try it through the browser
[08:53] <iBucket> I haven't seen any error, but reinstalling linux on the whole disc should fix it shouldn#t it then, nickrud?
[08:54] <doug_> I am getting an error that says that /etc/sudoers is mode 0666 and should be 0444
[08:54] <iBucket> that will rewrite the partition table?
[08:54] <iBucket> And also reformat nickrud?
[08:55] <nickrud> iBucket, not if the actual partition table is messed up. And that's what I had to do, reformat, including the windows partition. A real expert might have been able to fix the table without reformatting it all, but that's beyond me
[08:55] <murtadashah> hey guys... if I download a theme from xfce-look.org ... then how do I implement the whole theme ? if I set it to that in window manager, it just changes the window looks that 's it ... I want the whole Background, style etc
[08:55] <doug_> I am getting an error that says that /etc/sudoers is mode 0666 and should be 0444   how do i fix this anyone
[08:55] <iBucket> Uh, I'm getting rid of windows, going to just let linux install over the whole thing
[08:56] <doug_> I am getting an error that says that /etc/sudoers is mode 0666 and should be 0444    anyone knwo hwo to fix this?
[08:57] <GG-ChuckNoris0> Wondering if anyone has any advice, I'm trying to replace Dreamweaver, i dont see any drop in replacement, but i thought of using a collection of apps, all working on the same file, like a nice css editor, php ide, aptana, etc....
[08:57] <GG-ChuckNoris0> i wonder if anyone knows of a way to make other programs update their copy of a file automatically once they detect a change?

[08:59] <|FrOstiE|> lol it pinged b4
[08:59] <|FrOstiE|> but didnt disconnect sorry
[09:00] <genii> doug_: sudo chmod 0444 /etc/sudoers
[09:00] <sadmin> hi all
[09:00] <sadmin> any one works on SRSS un ubuntu
[09:00] <doug_> thanks genii
[09:00] <leon_pegg> is there a 2.6.20 xen kernel for ubuntu
[09:01] <nullkuhl> guys how to acces the equalizer-audio manager from terminal ??
[09:01] <finalbeta> doug_: sudo chmod 444 /etc/sudoers sets the file to that mode. I can only hope that is a right thing to do.
[09:01] <voraistos> err there is the alsa-mixer i think
[09:01] <jrib> doug_: did you do some recursive chmod command to cause that?
[09:01] <genii> underdog5004: Hi :) Thanks for the caffeine, needing it today
[09:01] <underdog5004> lol
[09:01] <voraistos> i dont remember how it is called exactly
[09:02] <voraistos> you may have to install it
[09:02] <voraistos> nullkuhl
[09:02] <goticaa> Hey guys
[09:02] <genii> jrib: Alas, he has left already. Good question without an answer
[09:03] <goticaa> does anyone know how to convert flac to mp3 with lame ?
[09:03] <redbox> anyone have suggestions on a pci wireless card that works out of the box in Ubuntu 7.04 without ndiswrapper or madwifi ?
[09:03] <Ultrabucket> nickrud, sorry, I got cutoff
[09:03] <nullkuhl> voraistos: yea ?
[09:03] <Ultrabucket> Atheros, redbox ;d
[09:03] <doug_> genii i get this error when i try sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0666 should be 0444
[09:03] <redbox> Ultrabucket: atheros = madwifi I thought?
[09:03] <voraistos> isnt madwifi part of the kernel ?
[09:03] <leon_pegg> Ultrabucket: beat me to  it
[09:03] <Ultrabucket> nickrud, what was your reply to the last thing I said
[09:03] <voraistos> wow
[09:04] <voraistos> big lag
[09:04] <Ultrabucket> What? Iunno, I heard atheros worked perfectly under linux
[09:04] <Ultrabucket> nickrud, what was your reply to the last thing I said before my rejoin that is ;d
[09:04] <nickrud> the linux reinstall will go ok, as long as you repartition *everything*
[09:04] <voraistos> yeah. atheros is madwifi and is part of the kernel
[09:04] <leon_pegg> Atheros worked out of the box for me on ubuntu 7.04
[09:04] <inet_dude> when I run make-kpkg should I use 'append-to-version' to add a string to identify the kernel? or is there another alternative?
[09:05] <leon_pegg> inet yes
[09:05] <doug_> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0666 should be 0444  how do i fix this?
[09:05] <nickrud> Ultrabucket, what I did was use sudo fdisk in ubuntu recovery mode to reformat, then booted the cd, just to be sure
[09:05] <voraistos> nullkuhl what do you want? to lauch the gui from terminal or to have a cli app ?
[09:05] <inet_dude> also, running "make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers" last time did not generate the .deb file for modules/headers
[09:05] <jrib> doug_: did you do some recursive chmod command to cause that?
[09:05] <leon_pegg> sudo chmod 0444 /etc/sudoers
[09:05] <Ultrabucket> Okay, repartition evreything means installing linux on the whole disc then, nickrud? And the installation has never given errors, it's always been in linux something goes wrong due to an error with the partition I guess. I'll give it a shot [Y/N] ?
[09:05] <doug_> jrib no
[09:05] <Ultrabucket> okay
[09:05] <neumind`> wher i can find good pascal or c++ learn tutorial?
[09:06] <Ultrabucket> I missed that last line ;d
[09:06] <nickrud> Y
[09:06] <jrib> doug_: and you have no idea how those permissions changed?
[09:06] <nickrud> :)
[09:06] <doug_> jrib i do this  sudo chmod 0444 /etc/sudoers and i still get the same error
[09:06] <Ultrabucket> Do a barrel roll [Y/N] 
[09:06] <genii> doug_: The problem is that you cannot change the sudoer file to proper permissions because sudoers file has improper permissions, etc etc. So you need to go to single user mode and change it from there (root)
[09:06] <doug_> jrib yes i got no idea how they changed
[09:06] <nullkuhl> thx alot voraistos alsamixer have done it
[09:06] <jrib> doug_: and you have no idea how those permissions changed?
[09:06] <doug_> jrib no
[09:07] <doug_> genii so i have to go to another user and make it that way?
[09:07] <jrib> doug_: reboot and choose recovery mode from the grub menu, then do 'chmod 444 /etc/sudoers'
[09:07] <Ultrabucket> Also, I thin I'll do the reformat from the LiveCD will that work too :D
[09:07] <Ultrabucket> ?
[09:07] <genii> doug_: Now only root user can change the file
[09:07] <Ultrabucket> genii sudo -s
[09:08] <Ultrabucket> :D?
[09:08] <voraistos> hey you guys know of a gui front-end for mkisofs (or, err genisoimage, i think) ?
[09:08] <wousser> where can i find any info about the ubuntu logo?
[09:08] <Ultrabucket> Wousser? What?
[09:08] <doug_> genii and jrib thanks i wil try it
[09:08] <voraistos> wousser: its copyright of cannonical ltd.
[09:08] <genii> doug_: jrib's advice is best. boot to recovery mode. then do :    chmod 0444 /etc/sudoers     then do: telinit 2
[09:09] <jrib> !logo > wousser (see the private message from ubotu)
[09:09] <Ultrabucket> nickrud; just checking, go from the LiveCD to refromat :D?
[09:09] <voraistos> wousser: dont try to use it in some sort of advert in a fashion mag :P
[09:09] <wousser> no, my question is why did they choose that logo
[09:09] <wousser> why 3 people
[09:09] <voraistos> !logo
[09:09] <ubotu> Official Ubuntu artwork including the Ubuntu logo can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official
[09:10] <Ultrabucket> Because it;s too show black caucasian and asian
[09:10] <voraistos> yep. it doesnt say much
[09:10] <CoasterMaster> Because 3 is a psychologically satisfying number
[09:10] <nickrud> Ultrabucket, you can run fdisk from the live CD, yes :) or gparted as well.
[09:10] <Ultrabucket> kk
[09:10] <sadmin> hey
[09:10] <sadmin> any one there
[09:10] <jrib> sadmin: hi
[09:10] <nullkuhl> is kde 4 launched yet ?
[09:10] <CoasterMaster> wousser: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_%28writing%29
[09:10] <sadmin> jrib hi
[09:10] <wousser> coastermaster: ultrabucket: voraistos: jrib: i thought maybe there was a wiki explaining some more information about the logo
[09:10] <sadmin> hey u wrik on SRSS
[09:11] <voraistos> 3 is half of 8, 8 being infinite power on your PC
[09:11] <Ultrabucket> sudo fdisk will reformat muh disc :o?
[09:11] <Ultrabucket> that is the whole command?
[09:11] <dho_ragus> Ultrabucket: no, it's not.
[09:12] <voraistos> fdisk doesnt format, it just makes slices
[09:12] <genii> Ultrabucket: No, fdisk is the partitioner. to format, you need to do something like   mkfs.<filesystemtype> /dev/<harddrivename>
[09:12] <genii> Ultrabucket: You need to partition first then format
[09:12] <Ultrabucket> Is it?
[09:12] <voraistos> slice = partition. slice is the unix way to say it
[09:12] <jrib> wousser: maybe someone in #ubuntu-artwork knows where you can find out more about it.  I don't of any place where the decision is documented
[09:13] <Vek_> can someone help me
[09:13] <Ultrabucket> Oh, well then that does the same thing as just reinstalling the thing on the whole disc
[09:13] <Ultrabucket> amirite :D?
[09:13] <jrib> !helpme | Vek_
[09:13] <ubotu> Vek_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:13] <nickrud> Ultrabucket, just use fdisk to choose your partitions; the installer will format properly
[09:13] <wousser> oke, thanks coastermasyter, jrib
[09:13] <Vek_> how can i login as root?? in ubuntu
[09:14] <voraistos> Ultrabucket : you have to use, for example, mkext2fs to format
[09:14] <rabies> Vek_, cant
[09:14] <voraistos> Vek_, you can , but you dont
[09:14] <jrib> !root > Vek_ (see the private message from ubotu)
[09:14] <rabies> Vek_: by default, you cant
[09:14] <Vek_> dont get it
[09:14] <CoasterMaster> You can do things as root when you're logged in as another user
[09:14] <voraistos> sudo su to become root easily
[09:14] <jrib> Vek_: the page on the wiki that ubotu linked you to will explain it, come here if you're still not sure about soemthing after reading it
[09:14] <rabies> Vek_: 1st time on ubuntu?
[09:15] <Vek_> yep
[09:15] <Vek_> im new to linux
[09:15] <voraistos> dont go root then
[09:15] <rabies> Vek_: yes, dont use root
[09:15] <Vek_> lol
[09:15] <Vek_> y
[09:15] <purra> Anyone willing to help with a (thinks its pretty simple.) emacs problem
[09:15] <rabies> well, i suppose you can
[09:15] <Vek_> i want to use nmap
[09:15] <Exteris> what do you need to do
[09:15] <star1> Hello everyone. I have a Canon MP510 Printer, and I've got it up and running in Feisty (as far as printing goes, I haven't tried scanning or anything fancy).  My problem is that whenever it prints, it prints everything unnecessarily small.  Any ideas?
[09:15] <Pici> Vek_: See the private message that ubotu sent you.
[09:15] <zipper> voraistos, please dont tell newbies how to get into a root terminal
[09:16] <rabies> Vek_: okay, not helping you anymore! lol
[09:16] <Vek_> but it asks me for root privilidges
[09:16] <dho_ragus> Vek_: yeah, using root is an old-school way to get admin privs.  sudo is the new normal way to do administrative things.  it gives you all the power when you need it, but limits how long you can do stuff and makes you think about it by requiring the `sudo` command.
[09:16] <doug_> vek_ root is very bad u can easly mess somethng up and crash ur whole comp
[09:16] <voraistos> yesterday i ussued a very short command, which, as root, removes absolutly everything on any mounted drive
[09:16] <rabies> dude...i use root all the time
[09:16] <zipper> Vek_, "sudo application"... in this case, "sudo nmap"
[09:16] <voraistos> nmap ?
[09:16] <voraistos> bah
[09:16] <zipper> voraistos, a port scanner
[09:16] <purra> are on my way starting to do some c++ programming for a course in school and i got a .emacs file with some settings or something..
[09:17] <dho_ragus> voraistos: come on, we've all see the matrix. :P
[09:17] <voraistos> he probably wants to be root on his own machine then
[09:17] <voraistos> i know what nmap is :P
[09:17] <rabies> script kiddie! =P
[09:17] <rabies> the only people who want to use nmap and don't know what root is generally want to use it for the wrong reasons
[09:17] <voraistos> not necessarily
[09:17] <voraistos> he could be a network admin for his home lan
[09:17] <purra> and i want to know how i load it , the file got some things that marks cmds and other things in different collors any know how i "install it
[09:18] <purra> to my emacs?
[09:18] <star1> Can anybody help with my problem (see above)?
[09:18] <CoasterMaster> !helpme | star1
[09:18] <ubotu> star1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:18] <jrib> purra: probably just drop it in your HOME
[09:18] <Pici> purra: drop it into your home directory and restart emacs, it should pick it up automagically
[09:18] <CoasterMaster> star1: nevermind, saw your question above
[09:18] <purra> jrib: well i tried it and it doesn't seem to work..
[09:18] <CoasterMaster> sorry
[09:18] <star1> CoasterMaster: It's ok
[09:19] <jrib> purra: did you restart emacs too like Pici suggested?
[09:19] <CoasterMaster> I don't have a Canon printer, so I can't help you :(
[09:19] <voraistos> wow i keep lagging is it just me ?
[09:20] <star1> CoasterMaster: Darn.  any ideas on where I could look for some help?
[09:20] <purra> jrib: yes but i will try it again...
[09:20] <sadmin> hey
[09:20] <sadmin> mu keyboard wont works in SRSS
[09:20] <sadmin> any idea
[09:20] <agresor> Hello, i have 2 computers One is Linux Ubuntu other is Windows Vista. I Have static IP and now i'm using NAT to have Internet on bouth computer. But now how can i make that Linux accepting incoming connections on some port's for example SSH ??
[09:20] <times9> i have an issue with my USB printer....  for whatever reason it will not accept the automatically assigned address by the USB subsystem.  i made a post earlier in the morning (including kernel output)  at:   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=535991&highlight=hp+c4280
[09:20] <voraistos> install ssh
[09:21] <Pici> sadmin: What is SRSS?
[09:21] <PriceChild> agresor, is it a router sharing the connection? Because you need to enter its web config to forward port 22 to the correct machine
[09:21] <times9> if anyone can help me with this i'd be very grateful
[09:21] <sadmin> Sun ray
[09:21] <agresor> PriceChild,  yes it is.
[09:21] <sadmin> server
[09:21] <jrib> purra: if it is still not working, try pastebinning the contents of your file.  I don't use emacs, but someone else may be able to spot the issue
[09:21] <agresor> PriceChild,  how can i do that ?
[09:21] <CoasterMaster> how can I empty my trash as root?
[09:21] <rabies> agresor: how is the NAT implemented?
[09:21] <agresor> rabies,  on Router
[09:21] <jrib> CoasterMaster: sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
[09:21] <rabies> agresor: set top?
[09:21] <Pici> sadmin: You're running Ubuntu on that?
[09:22] <rabies> agresor: pass-through?
[09:22] <agresor> rabies,  set top ?
[09:22] <agresor> i dont know what you are talking about.. :s
[09:22] <rabies> agresor: a little box from linksys or dell or something
[09:22] <PriceChild> agresor, read your router's manual to find out how to do it... you'll probably be able to get into the configuration for it at 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
[09:22] <nancy> .
[09:22] <sadmin> i installed ubuntu and SRSS on ubuntu
[09:22] <agresor> rabies, it is Free.fr box
[09:22] <agresor> FreeBOX
[09:22] <star1> Hello everyone. I have a Canon MP510 Printer, and I've got it up and running in Feisty (as far as printing goes, I haven't tried scanning or anything fancy).  My problem is that whenever it prints, it prints everything unnecessarily small.  Any ideas?
[09:22] <agresor> if you hear about it.. :S
[09:22] <CoasterMaster> jrib: thank you
[09:22] <times9> can someone help me with my usb printer issue?  if you're willing to address it,  i'll link you to the post i put up on ubuntu forums
[09:23] <pasqualer92> hello!
[09:23] <rabies> agresor: sorry, i've never dealt with one of those, i'd recommend calling them up and asking
[09:23] <voraistos> agresor: find your gateway adress, the router is probably running a webserver on it as well
[09:24] <agresor> voraistos,  i have access to router just via free.fr web provider.. ?
[09:24] <agresor> i activate nat from there.
[09:24] <voraistos> agresor: french?
[09:24] <voraistos> ah
[09:24] <agresor> voraistos,  yes
[09:24] <agresor> :)

[09:28] <Poromenos> Feisty isn't working on my PC (brand new hardware), is there anything I can do?
[09:29] <nikin> i have got a winmodem, and want it to use it for faxing , but i cant find a working driver for it ... my modem: 02:0b.0 Communication controller: Agere Systems 56k WinModem (rev 01)
[09:29] <zpertee> what is the opposite of purge? if i have deleted config files how can I force them to get installed when I reinstall a package?
[09:29] <rbanffy> ubotu: I insist. I respect artificial lifeforms just as much as natural ones. Don't feel ashamed to be a bot. You are not "just" a bot.
[09:29] <LaCtoSE> Poromenos, define "not working"
[09:29] <kazol> What are some good torrent apps (besides azureus, which keeps crashing when loaded)?
[09:29] <Poromenos> LaCtoSE: the livecd doesn't start x
[09:29] <voraistos> hey, ssh is on port 22, right (i mean standard)
[09:29] <SeveredCross> kazol: Deluge, Ktorrent.
[09:29] <Pici> voraistos: yes.
[09:30] <ahmed_> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[09:30] <LaCtoSE> Poromenos, have you set the optical drive to be the boot device in your comps bios?
[09:30] <kazol> SeveredCross: Which one is more advanced and stable?
[09:30] <Poromenos> LaCtoSE: yes, it boots fine, it just doesn't show graphics
[09:30] <SeveredCross> Both are pretty stable.
[09:30] <SeveredCross> Deluge has a lot of good features, as does Ktorrent. It's a matter of preference really.
[09:30] <ahmed_> Hallow every ony
[09:30] <kazol> Ok, thanks SeveredCross
[09:30] <SeveredCross> I chose Deluge because it intergrates better into Gnome.
[09:30] <Poromenos> LaCtoSE: I get an error message which I don't remember at the moment...
[09:31] <SeveredCross> Whereas Ktorrent is KDE.
[09:31] <nikin> do i have any chance getting a winmodem to work?
[09:31] <LaCtoSE> Poromenos, sounds weird. have you checked the cd for errors?
[09:31] <acke>  hey i have  a problem with pureftp. im not able to logon to the ftp. ive checked the settings for ftp, the password file and the db file.. but it just doesnt wont to let me logon to it
[09:31] <acke> any ideas
[09:31] <jrib> !dialup > nikin (see the private message from ubotu)
[09:32] <times9> can anyone help me with my printer?
[09:32] <GG-ChuckNoris0> do any native torrent clients, have support for checking a folder for torrent files
[09:32] <Poromenos> LaCtoSE: it booted fine on another pc a week ago
[09:32] <jrib> !printing > times9 (see the private message from ubotu)
[09:32] <GG-ChuckNoris0> i currently use Azureus, would like to ditch it
[09:32] <Exteris> me2
[09:32] <jrib> GG-ChuckNoris0: autodownload torrents dropped in a folder?  Is that what you mean?
[09:32] <faust_> Poromenos, tried the safe graphics mode?
[09:32] <GG-ChuckNoris0> jrip: yep
[09:32] <Poromenos> faust_: ah, i have not, i will do that
[09:32] <star1> Hello everyone. I have a Canon MP510 Printer, and I've got it up and running in Feisty (as far as printing goes, I haven't tried scanning or anything fancy).  My problem is that whenever it prints, it prints everything unnecessarily small.  Any ideas?
[09:33] <kazol> GG-ChuckNoris0: Does azureus also crash on your system?
[09:33] <GG-ChuckNoris0> thats what i mean yes
[09:33] <ahmed_> hiiiiiiiiiiiii
[09:33] <faust_> Poromenos, I had issues with that on my laptop. The livecd had to run safemode. Ran fine once it was installed, but couldn't get it to boot properly using the regular boot mode on the livecd.
[09:33] <GG-ChuckNoris0> kazol: it used to, not really anymore, so long as i dont updated it or do anything apart from download torrents
[09:33] <jrib> GG-ChuckNoris0: btlaunchmany and btlaunchmanycurses will do that, but they aren't gui programs
[09:33] <ahmed_> hiiiii
[09:33] <Poromenos> faust_: ah, that is good news, i'll try safemode then, thanks :)
[09:34] <nikin> jrib: it tellsme to insall linux-386 but i get dpkg error on that...

[09:34] <GG-ChuckNoris0> jrib: i dont really need a gui
[09:34] <jrib> nikin: you probably want linux-generic, but can you link me to the place it says that so I can checK?
[09:35] <jrib> GG-ChuckNoris0: they do have support for limiting the bandwidth, check 'man bittorent-downloader' for the switch you need

[09:37] <GG-ChuckNoris0> voraistos: it seems a bit bloated imo
[09:37] <drilus> no i'm not.

[09:52] <parkbench> can anyone help? I have this: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945AB mini-pci, which I just purchased for my laptop because it is supposed to be compatible with linux. i cant get it to recognize by the system, even by the lspci command
[09:53] <_blix_> if anyone can suggest to me I can boot into Windows XP
[09:53] <Meyvn> perhaps an odd questions, but I've been using ubuntu for a while now (and quite like it), but would like to try another flavor of linux for the new laptop I ordered, I consider myself of intermediate expertise level, which other distros are viable for me to try out?
[09:53] <_blix_> $5 is going to your PayPal account
[09:53] <SeveredCross> parkbench: That's very odd...I have a 3945ABG and it gets recognized right off the bat.
[09:53] <SeveredCross> Meyvn: Gentoo!
[09:53] <SeveredCross> (Just kidding)
[09:53] <planttt> mevyn: just get some and try them out
[09:53] <neverblue> can you setup ctrl-left and ctrl-right to stop on certain characters, when searching documentation, not meaning editor specific, but in Gnome
[09:53] <Badpenguin86> I just downloaded enemy territory, but the md5 sums are not right, is there a way to skip testing for this, and, if so, how risky would it be?
[09:53] <deramin> parkbench: what then is the issue?
[09:53] <Meyvn> SeveredCross: the compile yourself distro? ;)
[09:53] <parkbench> severed: i thought maybe since i had installed the OS without a net connection it may not have gotten the updates properly?
[09:53] <epp> skap, yes, building fine
[09:53] <skap> what _blix_  says dudes ?
[09:53] <SeveredCross> Meyvn: Yes.
[09:53] <parkbench> so i reinstalled like that but...
[09:53] <SeveredCross> parkbench: It shouldn't matter...
[09:53] <skap> epp , great news
[09:53] <skap> :)
[09:53] <jafro> is insaine alien there
[09:54] <Music^Hound> Meyvn you could try gentoo if you don't mind having everything compiled from scratch
[09:54] <planttt> mevyn: I came from slackware to ubuntu, nice clean
[09:54] <skap> good news i mean
[09:54] <Meyvn> SeveredCross: I've also look at Slackware, but I hear it's quite a hard distro to learn
[09:54] <parkbench> i cant even see a potential wireless connection
[09:54] <_blix_> skap: not as easy you think...but I reckon is possible
[09:54] <SeveredCross> I've used Slack, it's not too bad but is a bit difficult to get around, as it doesn't do X setup automagically (or at least it didn't before)
[09:54] <_blix_> I've tried loads of ways and thanks to this room have tried lots of ways
[09:54] <SeveredCross> parkbench: Hmm..lspci finds nothing.
[09:54] <planttt> Meyvn: Get one that your friends know something about
[09:54] <Badpenguin86> I just downloaded enemy territory, but the md5 sums are not right, is there a way to skip testing for this, and, if so, how risky would it be?
[09:54] <parkbench> severed: yes, this is true
[09:54] <_blix_> I basically have used gparted to format my primary drive to nts
[09:54] <_blix_> ntfs*
[09:54] <neverblue> Badpenguin86, skip it, if the install doesnt work, md5
[09:55] <_blix_> but when restart my machine..and get Windows to setup it fails to recognise any discs
[09:55] <neverblue> can you setup ctrl-left and ctrl-right to stop on certain characters, when searching documentation, not meaning editor specific, but in Gnome
[09:55] <_blix_> any solutions??
[09:55] <Meyvn> thanks all for your input
[09:55] <Meyvn> I'll have a look at Gentoo
[09:55] <neverblue> _blix_, sorry, please explain more clearly
[09:55] <jafro> is insane alien there
[09:55] <_blix_> sure.
[09:55] <skap> _blix_, burn the machine
[09:55] <_blix_> lol
[09:55] <Music^Hound> Meyvn hope you got alot of time on your hands for gentoo
[09:55] <_blix_> here is more detail
[09:55] <parkbench> severed: i didnt have any problem inserting the card so i dont think its loose or anything like that
[09:55] <planttt> meyvn: good luck, of course don't forget the usual suspects suse and redhat
[09:55] <_blix_> Right now, I'm running from a live CD
[09:56] <neverblue> _blix_, please post in one liners
[09:56] <_blix_> ok
[09:56] <Lt_BATZ> hello there, can i ask you smth. about ubuntu configurations ?
[09:56] <Meyvn> Music^Hound, planttt: I'm an IT student so I have plenty of time to fiddle with distros ;)
[09:56] <skap> Lt_BATZ, give a try
[09:56] <neverblue> can you setup ctrl-left and ctrl-right to stop on certain characters, when searching documentation, not meaning editor specific, but in Gnome
[09:57] <_blix_> Right now, I'm running from a Live CD, I need my 160gig drive formatted to NTFS so what I can get my Windows XP disc to boot up and get my HD recognised to continue the setup
[09:57] <jafro> is insaine alien there
[09:57] <planttt> meyvn: in that case, go with LFS if you want to learn the hardcore basic stuff
[09:57] <Jack_Sparrow> _blix_: WHat version of WIndows are you trying to install
[09:57] <ben__> I've got the usual issues with running Amarok on GNOME. I want to install Konquerer, but apparently this trails with it most of KDE's dependencies. How much space would it take up to put all this stuff in alongside GNOME?
[09:57] <Lt_BATZ> how can i change the locale of the system in console ?
[09:57] <_blix_> Windows XP home edition
[09:57] <Meyvn> planttt: LFS?
[09:57] <rabies> ben__: as much as it says...
[09:57] <planttt> Meyvn: yes Linux From Scratch
[09:57] <ben__> where does it say?
[09:57] <Meyvn> planttt: ahh..
[09:57] <_blix_> when I use gparted to format the HD...it appears to do so
[09:57] <Badpenguin86> I just downloaded enemy territory, but the md5 sums are not right, is there a way to skip testing for this, and, if so, how risky would it be?
[09:57] <Music^Hound> _blix_ it is a full install cd or a upgrade ?
[09:57] <planttt> Meyvn: completely useless, but very educational
[09:58] <rabies> Badpenguin86: dont.
[09:58] <_blix_> full install
[09:58] <_blix_> legal
[09:58] <Meyvn> planttt: compiling your own kernel and OS?
[09:58] <_blix_> I paid $120!
[09:58] <_blix_> lol
[09:58] <Jack_Sparrow> _blix_: The XP install didnt see any drives?
[09:58] <silvertip257> Does anyone know why a distribution would "crop to very limited shell" ???
[09:58] <planttt> Badpenguin86: very risky, it means your download is corrupted, download it again
[09:58] <_blix_> jack_Sparrow..hello again...thats right
[09:58] <valberg> hey! i've just installed ubuntu 32-bit version on my laptop, and it is note able to boot from either the hd nor the cdrom
[09:58] <planttt> Meyvn: no, not compiling but installing
[09:58] <planttt> Meyvn:  Gentoo is the compiling thing, but it is all automated, LFS is not
[09:58] <parkbench> could it be my laptop? maybe theres an internal failsafe stopping the card from...being recognized. or something :(
[09:58] <Meyvn> planttt: right, thanks for the tip
[09:58] <rabies> valberg: anything else you'd like to share?
[09:58] <rabies> valberg: =D
[09:59] <rabies> valberg: j/k, got any more details?
[09:59] <Lt_BATZ> or maybe how can i see which locale is actually set ?
[09:59] <Music^Hound> try using gparted and wipe the partitions out and make them fat32
[09:59] <Music^Hound> _blix_
[09:59] <Jack_Sparrow> _blix_: Very odd...  IF you are running live cd go to term and type sudo fdisk -l      last is an L
[09:59] <planttt> Meyvn: btw, compiling your own kernel is not so hard as it sounds
[09:59] <skap> _blix_, want to format a partition all the all disk space ?
[09:59] <dvs01> what brand hard drive should i get? i need to buy 12 500gb sata hdds for my home fileserver

[10:01] <_blix_> that's the only partition there
[10:01] <silvertip257> wow nice ... i hope so : dvs01
[10:01] <rabies> valberg: nothing about grub?
[10:01] <valberg> rabies: nope :S
[10:01] <Jack_Sparrow> silvertip257:  probably video...
[10:01] <xjkx> if it uses xorg, xorgcfg isnt working/installed, is it using xorg?
[10:01] <silvertip257> Jack_
[10:01] <rabies> valberg: thats a bios issue and something you need to take up w/ your laptop manuf
[10:01] <Lt_BATZ> My someone pls tell me how i can see my actual set locale and how ich can change it ?
[10:02] <valberg> rabies: it only has a _ blinking in the left top corner
[10:02] <spanglesontoast> I have an ntfs partition
[10:02] <valberg> rabies: well the bios works fine :S
[10:02] <rabies> valberg: if that was a problem w/ ubuntu you'd at least be able to boot to cdrom
[10:02] <spanglesontoast> and  I want to chkdsk it without windows
[10:02] <spanglesontoast> or fix it ntfsfix doesn't work
[10:02] <silvertip257> Jack_Sparrow:  hmmm well it's still got video (txt only), but it craps out after probing USB on DSL/Knoppix ...
[10:02] <Jack_Sparrow> _blix_: XP installer may not see the partition but it has to see the drive if fdisk sees it
[10:02] <xjkx> i am trying to configure my video card with a text software, no text file editing
[10:02] <rabies> valberg: ubuntu doesn't touch the bios
[10:02] <Oflodor> how do I see the nicknames list of a channel in XIRC?
[10:02] <Oflodor> lol found it
[10:02] <silvertip257> ;)
[10:02] <xjkx> does it use xorg?
[10:02] <Oflodor> ahhh first time using XIRC
[10:03] <Oflodor> many years using mIRC, though
[10:03] <JosefK> has anyone who's setup MythVideo figured out how to make it look at both the cdrom drive and another folder on the machine for videos?
[10:03] <xjkx> ubuntu uses xorg?
[10:03] <_blix_> jack_Sparrow ...that maybe the case,
[10:03] <valberg> rabies: yeah i thought so too.. but is there any way i could find out myself what the issue could be ? maybe change the bios to a linux compatible bios (not that i believe that there should be bios's out there not compatible with linux...)
[10:03] <silvertip257> yes xjkx
[10:03] <Music^Hound> _blix_ try using gparted again but partiton the drive as fat32
[10:03] <xjkx> silvertip257: how do i install xorgcfg?
[10:03] <_blix_> right
[10:03] <times9> son of a.......
[10:03] <Music^Hound> partition*
[10:03] <_blix_> ok
[10:03] <rabies> valberg: that is dangerous and i would not advise it
[10:03] <times9> i HATE all in one printers
[10:03] <_blix_> wait
[10:03] <Jack_Sparrow> _blix_: You wanted to make sure it was clean, so let XP partition and fomat it again.
[10:03] <times9> i want to stab them with a burning spear
[10:04] <rabies> valberg: bioses are fairly generic and i highly doubt you have a linux incompatible bios
[10:04] <silvertip257> xjkx:  I never tried to run "xorgcfg", ...
[10:04] <valberg> rabies: k... the problem is just that i can't return it now since i've "used" it... and i certainly do not want to use windows... just waste of alot of money...
[10:04] <Music^Hound> Jack how can XP do that when its not seeing the drive ?
[10:04] <_blix_> so jack_Sparrow, so switch to fat32
[10:04] <silvertip257> xjkx:  at the terminal type "apt-cache search xorgcfg"
[10:04] <Jack_Sparrow> _blix_: No reason to fat32... it will do ntfs
[10:04] <rabies> valberg: well...sorry
[10:04] <parkbench> can anyone help with me with my  Intel PRO/Wireless 3945AB?
[10:04] <Alpha232> Morning
[10:04] <valberg> rabies: thnx for the help anyways :)
[10:04] <rabies> valberg: if you cant boot from a cdrom something is wrong w/ the bios
[10:04] <jthomas_> Anyone know how to fix firefox from coming up with.. Your last firefox session closed unexpectedly.... start new session or restore session.
[10:04] <_blix_> well did ntfs..and Windows disc don't recognise it
[10:05] <rabies> valberg: or possibly your cdrom
[10:05] <skinnypuppy1334> Noob question, I've got a 6.06 ubuntu machine on my network I would like to connect to from my 7.04 pc What do I use to see the 6.06 machines desktop on the 7.04 desktop
[10:05] <Lt_BATZ> Could someone pls tell me how to see my set Localization and how i can change it ?
[10:05] <Alpha232> anyone familiar with an overflowing arp table ala Neighbour table overflow.
[10:05] <parkbench> jthomas: use tab mix plus?
[10:05] <skap> _blix_, i dont understand it , if you want to install windows why you make all this trouble ? Just boot the windoz disk  ..partition the disk ..foramt and install
[10:05] <josh_> can anyone help me with 7zip format
[10:05] <Oflodor> does anyone know how to get 3D acceleration working on vmware? It fails when I try it. I have an ATI card, using open "radeon" drivers, properlly configured (compiz fusion works fine, for instance).
[10:05] <Music^Hound> skap his xp cd is not seeing the drive
[10:05] <xjkx> silvertip257: nothing
[10:05] <bruenig> !info p7zip
[10:05] <agresor> hi to all
[10:05] <ubotu> p7zip: 7-Zip is a file archiver with high compression ratio. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.43~dfsg.1-1 (feisty), package size 315 kB, installed size 948 kB
[10:05] <jthomas_> parkbench: what does that have to do with the session restoration?
[10:05] <_blix_> jack_Sparrow ... XP does not see the disk
[10:06] <skap> hirens cd is out there
[10:06] <Jack_Sparrow> skap: HE has been told that a few times... I dont understand why his install didsk will not see his partition or let him delete it and create a new one
[10:06] <pvl1> how do i stop beryl?
[10:06] <silvertip257> skinnypuppy1334:  you could use VNC or freenx (I recommend freenx b/c of speed, etc - www.nomachine.com -- find free version & you will need client+node+server for your 6.06 machine & just the client for your 7.04)
[10:06] <bruenig> pvl1, killall beryl
[10:06] <pvl1> ty bruenig
[10:06] <Music^Hound> _blix_ just try what I suggested and see what happens
[10:06] <rabies> Oflodor: the radeon driver does not support 3d acceleration
[10:06] <agresor> i have two computers networking on NAT, one is on ubuntu other is on windows. How to make ports that i can receiving incoming connections to my LINUX BOX ?
[10:06] <_blix_> which was?
[10:06] <agresor> For example sshd ?
[10:06] <agresor> please help!
[10:06] <_blix_> fat32?
[10:06] <silvertip257> xjkx:  hmm you could still try "apt-get install xorgcfg"  but I doubt anything will happen b/c you searched for it and got nothing.
[10:06] <Music^Hound> use gparted and redo the partitions in fat32
[10:06] <Oflodor> rabies: it works for me... glxgears gives me some good scores
[10:06] <josh_> I have been using the 7zip format for a while on both windows and ubuntu and I have just realized that on both platforms I can't seem to get the files to compress at all. Any Ideas on why they wont compress or if there is a forum for 7zip?
[10:06] <_blix_> right...
[10:06] <_blix_> fat32 it is
[10:06] <rabies> Oflodor: glxgears is 2d iirc
[10:07] <Jack_Sparrow> _blix_: Ask in #WIndows.... The problem is not ubuntu or linux related.
[10:07] <josh_> forum or irc chat
[10:07] <xjkx> silvertip257: there isnt such package named as this, it comes with another package
[10:07] <skinnypuppy1334> silvertip, thanks
[10:07] <Oflodor> rabies: whaaaat?
[10:07] <rabies> agresor: you just asked that, and i told you that you need to get info on your router
[10:07] <_blix_> mmm
[10:07] <silvertip257> xjkx:  ok
[10:07] <_blix_> jack I'll ask their opinion
[10:07] <rabies> Oflodor: 2d and 3d support are seperate
[10:07] <agresor> rabies,
[10:07] <agresor> i setup all
[10:07] <bruenig> josh_, depending on the file, you may not get much compression
[10:07] <agresor> still dont work
[10:07] <rabies> agresor: again, its a problem w/ your router
[10:07] <agresor> my linux box have ip 192.168.0.11
[10:07] <xjkx> How do i configure my video card with a text mode software?
[10:07] <Oflodor> rabies: i know that, but i dont think glxgears is 2d... are you sure?
[10:07] <agresor> i have options like
[10:07] <agresor> this
[10:07] <spanglesontoast> is there a Chkdsk for ubuntu other than ntfsfix the partition is on it's way out the old one was ext3
[10:07] <bruenig> josh_, for instance music and video files have very little redundancy and so compression is going to be low if not 0
[10:07] <josh_> I am trying to compress 158mb worth of pictures so I can email them to someone
[10:07] <_blix_> I'll ask the Windows folks before doing Music^Hound s suggestion
[10:08] <spanglesontoast> now says unknown but the main one I need to move stuff from the corrupted one
[10:08] <silvertip257> skinnypuppy1334:  no prob
[10:08] <star1> does anyone here know how to set up a Canon MP510 printer?
[10:08] <rabies> Oflodor: all i know is that radeon does not support 99% of what the cards support
[10:08] <bruenig> josh_, pictures I think fall into that same category
[10:08] <parkbench> can anyone help with me with my  Intel PRO/Wireless 3945AB?
[10:08] <rabies> Oflodor: fglrx is the driver released by ati
[10:08] <Oflodor> rabies: i know, but 3d accel works fine here
[10:09] <Oflodor> rabies: glxinfo | grep rendering returns yes
[10:09] <agresor> rabies,  i have like this :    Port 22   Protocole udp      Destionation : 192.168.0.11    PORT: 22   --->> why asking port 2 times ????
[10:09] <Jack_Sparrow> josh_: If those are jpg they are already compressed... Zipping will do liitle or nothing
[10:09] <josh_> ok, that stinks but maybe I can host them somewhere
[10:09] <josh_> thanks
[10:09] <tzanger> how does one get a kernel source and compile it "the kubunutu way" ?  I can do this in my sleep in Slackware but that's now how things are done here
[10:09] <rabies> agresor: sorry, i dont know anything about your router =\
[10:09] <tzanger> is there some kind of apt-get install kernel-2.6.20.16-lowlatency-src incantation?
[10:09] <rabies> Oflodor: okay...well...gl then?
[10:09] <tzanger> I have a pl2303 usb serial port that works in winxp on the box but not on Kubuntu (I know, not debian, bear with me) on the same box
[10:09] <bruenig> !kernel | tzanger
[10:09] <ubotu> tzanger: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[10:09] <Oflodor> rabies: my problem is with vmware
[10:09] <agresor> rabies,  i need for ssh udp or tcp protocol ?
[10:09] <PriceChild> tzanger, you want the source of that kernel?
[10:09] <tzanger> bruenig: aha
[10:09] <Oflodor> by the way, which is best for gaming? virtualbox or vmware?
[10:10] <rabies> agresor: oh, tcp i think
[10:10] <tzanger> PriceChild: yes, the source, patches, etc. that built the 2.6.20-16-lowlatency kernel package I'm running
[10:10] <PriceChild> tzanger, apt-get source <name of binary package>
[10:10] <tzanger> hmm okay
[10:10] <rabies> Oflodor: i dont have much experience w/ vmware, but if you give some more info ill try
[10:10] <Slart> Oflodor: that's like asking, "should I bring a shovel or a moderately pointy stick for the elephant hunt" =)
[10:11] <tzanger> and once I have the source package, how do I build a new package from it?
[10:11] <rabies> Oflodor: um...lol
[10:11] <PriceChild> tzanger, I strongly suggest you don't build your own kernel
[10:11] <PriceChild> tzanger, read the message ubotu gave you above
[10:11] <rabies> Oflodor: Slart's analogy is apt
[10:11] <pvl1> how do i restart gnome?
[10:11] <kewl> can any1 help me for tunning guitar with linux???
[10:11] <bruenig> pvl1, probably easier to restart x
[10:11] <ice-11> would the version of Mysql on Red Hat 2.1 be much different from the version of Mysql on Red hat 5?  Like, would the tables be stored differently?
[10:11] <tzanger> ok I will, thank you
[10:12] <pvl1> does that involve restarting my system?
[10:12] <rabies> Oflodor: if you are using the mesa libraries and not using direct rendering games aren't going to work at all
[10:12] <bruenig> pvl1, no
[10:12] <directLink> pvl1: restart whole x-server with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[10:12] <noldon> anyone know any good song with slipknot
[10:12] <rabies> Oflodor: and using vmware for games is going to be slow
[10:12] <tzanger> PriceChild: I've been using linux for over a decade, but I've always been running slackware.  I also design embedded linux systems for various processor fmailies... compiling the kernel's not hte problem, nor is debugging the driver... it's doing it in such a way that I don't frustrate the package manager :-)
[10:12] <bruenig> !ot | noldon
[10:12] <ubotu> noldon: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:12] <Oflodor> rabies: actually all I want to play is ragnarok online :P
[10:12] <noldon> jaja
[10:12] <Oflodor> rabies: i know heavy 3d games wont work
[10:12] <bruenig> tzanger, why did you move away from slack
[10:13] <rabies> Oflodor: dude, why are you using vmware?
[10:13] <ice-11> would the version of Mysql on Red Hat EL 2.1 be much different from the version of Mysql on Red hat 5?  Like, would the tables be stored differently?
[10:13] <Oflodor> rabies: i cant get wine working properly for it, dont know why
[10:13] <tzanger> bruenig: I need to be able to direct people to a distribution that isn't quite so lowlevel.  And I have to say I am really liking kubuntu, but there are a numbe of things that are infuriating since I'm used to not having anyone (anything) else mucking with it :-)
[10:13] <rabies> Oflodor: again, why are you using vmware?
[10:13] <rabies> Oflodor: start from the beginning
[10:13] <tzanger> I still run slack on a few servers I admin, but the desktops are kubuntu now
[10:13] <spcmn012> Hey guys
[10:13] <PriceChild> tzanger, well the message from ubotu should explain things.
[10:13] <pvl1> ty
[10:14] <tzanger> PriceChild: excellent, thank you eveyone
[10:14] <spcmn012> I need some help, does anyone have time?
[10:14] <tzanger> er everyone
[10:14] <Oflodor> rabies: to emulate windows xp so I can play ragnarok and my mom can use IE6 for her needs :P
[10:14] <rabies> !tell spcmn012 about ask
[10:14] <spcmn012> Ok, here's the deal
[10:14] <rabies> !tell rabies about ask
[10:14] <rabies> oh good, ti works
[10:14] <spcmn012> I just installed Feisty Fawn (UbuntuStudio really)
[10:14] <spcmn012> Everything works fine except my video card detection
[10:14] <erichj> 
[10:15] <Oflodor> !tell Oflodor about ask
[10:15] <rabies> Oflodor: okay, start even farther back
[10:15] <spcmn012> I'm using an older computer (A Sony Vaio Desktop computer) with an intergrated video card
[10:15] <rabies> Oflodor: first off, why are you using ubuntu vs windows?
[10:15] <spcmn012> My defauly (and only available) res is 640x480
[10:16] <Oflodor> rabies: because I love it, it's fast and secure and does everything else better
[10:16] <spcmn012> I've tried editing the xorg.conf to include the resolution, but it still doesn't show it as available.
[10:16] <spcmn012> So what do you all recommend I do?
[10:16] <rabies> Oflodor: 2nd, why are you not dual booting?
[10:16] <user_> hello
[10:16] <MFen> is there a recommended/supported solution for rw-ntfs?
[10:16] <spcmn012> hello user
[10:16] <bruenig> Oflodor, you can use ie6 through wine, although I would suggest you just give her a quick firefox lesson, they aren't much different, I mean you can use firefox just like you use ie if you want to
[10:16] <Oflodor> rabies: I am, but it sucks...
[10:16] <rabies> Oflodor: you are going to run into a host of problems trying to emulate windows on linux
[10:16] <Alpha232> :Can I tune the arp cache size? i'm getting "Neighbour table overflow" errors, or an easy way to flush as  ip neigh flush dev eth0 doesn't work.
[10:16] <bruenig> !ntfs-3g | MFen
[10:16] <ubotu> MFen: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[10:16] <MFen> i know what most of the options, i just want to know which one integrates best with Feisty
[10:16] <rabies> Oflodor: why does it suck?
[10:16] <scribbles> anyone have any idea why when I run Counter Strike Source, (steam works fine with wine), the screen just goes black and nothing happens after the loading screen?
[10:16] <Oflodor> bruenig: yeah, I got her to learn FF... but her web banking site doesn't work properly with it... I know, it sucks
[10:17] <bruenig> hmm
[10:17] <MFen> bruenig: in particular, the ntfs drive in question is usb and mounts automatically when i plug it in.  what do i have to do to mount it rw automatically?
[10:17] <rabies> scribbles: i'd try #winehq or using cedega
[10:17] <spcmn012> Anyone have any suggestions?
[10:17] <Oflodor> rabies: it takes quite some time to boot from one to another... i have to stop everything im doing and go to windows :S
[10:17] <bruenig> MFen, well i'm sure there is some crazy hal thing you have to do, but make sure you have the ntfs-3g driver installed first
[10:17] <aldin> how do i didable /etc/init.d/powernowd during start?
[10:17] <MFen> bruenig: also, ntfs-3g is already installed, so either 3g doesn't allow me to rw, or nautilus isn't using it
[10:18] <Randall> omfg look at all you sheep
[10:18] <bruenig> nautilus doesn't mount volumes
[10:18] <MFen> crazy hal thing, ok.
[10:18] <jimcooncat> Oflodor: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[10:18] <Oflodor> jimcooncat: I know, i have installed it already, thank you.
[10:18] <Alpha232> Randall: not all are sheep, but since you're using comcast, i'll agree that you are one to know one
[10:18] <bruenig> MFen, mounting it manually with rw would be easy, but hal configuration is not something I am too familiar with
[10:18] <Trae> Anyone know if it's bad to run two wine installs at the same time?
[10:18] <rc55> Is there any way I can appeal a decision made on a package that has been excluded because of the feature freeze?
[10:18] <spcmn012> :-(
[10:18] <rabies> Oflodor: okay a couple things then, first i recommend using fglrx as it is a better driver the radeon. 2nd, wine does work w/ ie6 although success varies from person to person
[10:19] <MFen> bruenig: i'm pretty sure i can figure out the manual one
[10:19] <Trae> or rather, two wine programs at the same time?
[10:19] <PriceChild> !away > Ketzal
[10:19] <spcmn012> Anyone know where else I could get help then? I've tried searching the forums up and down.
[10:19] <bruenig> Trae, oh two wine programs is no problem, two wine installs would be odd
[10:19] <Ketzal> PriceChild, thanks
[10:19] <Randall> Alpha232: its called a monopoly its the only place with internet here
[10:19] <rabies> Oflodor: as to your vmware problem, that sounds like an installation issue, and i'd ask people more specialized w/ vmware
[10:19] <Trae> bruenig, hehe
[10:19] <Oflodor> jimcooncat: I just don't trust him (Tatanka) enough to let my mom do her webbanking with IES4Linux, plus there are plugin issues, so doing IE inside VMWare works a lot better. My only issue currently is with playing Ragnarok Online, not IE.
[10:19] <Alpha232> Randall: where is here?
[10:19] <Jack_Sparrow> spcmn012: You have a res problem?

[10:20] <jimcooncat> Oflodor: you're right, I just use it to check my web pages.
[10:20] <Jack_Sparrow> spcmn012: Do you know the make model of your card and the res and sync on your monitor
[10:20] <Trae> bruenig, Specifically, I am doing a WoW(World of Warcraft) download currently (TBC - The Burning Crusade -- 2nd part of WoW)  I want to install the first part now while it's running the download software.
[10:20] <arash> spcmn012 , Im no expert, but I experienced that Envy is a totally awesome program, installed the neessecary drivers for me
[10:20] <bruenig> Trae, its fine, wine is a compatibility layer, its like asking whether running two windows programs in windows is ok, well don't answer that one but still
[10:20] <jimcooncat> Oflodor: time to switch banks -- seriously.
[10:20] <Jack_Sparrow> spcmn012: Please use the pasetbin... see subject of channel... and post your xorg.conf

[10:22] <spcmn012> !res

[10:22] <MFen> hooray, mounted.
[10:22] <Prowler_1> any one Use - SoundBlaster Live ?
[10:22] <Alpha232> PriceChild: guarantee, anyone reading my directed comments to you, would be far from able to help me if their understanding was one of already having been helped.
[10:23] <spcmn012> I went through that also, still not working for me.
[10:23] <MrKeuner> hi, I heard of a campaign some time ago that some free software guys were writing the drivers for companies who suplly them with enough information about their product. Could you forward me to their web site please?
[10:23] <TheArthur> i need a program to report what systems on the network have installed the current updates
[10:23] <rabies> Oflodor: "the blank screen hang"?
[10:23] <TheArthur> can anyone recomend one?
[10:23] <spcmn012> xorg.conf shows a generic vido card and generic monitor
[10:23] <Oflodor> rabies: it's a common, known and unfixed bug while using ubuntu, some ati cards, and fglrx
[10:23] <LiveFire> neverblue : How many passes will this memory test do?  It just went through the complete 100% after running 1 1/2 hours and is starting over again. is that normal?
[10:23] <user_> df
[10:23] <TheArthur> LiveFire,  yes
[10:24] <spcmn012> LiveFire: The memory test will run until you interrupt it
[10:24] <Jack_Sparrow> spcmn012: If you sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose vesa as your card and max res of 1024 it should get you that far...
[10:24] <LiveFire> Okay - I just ran it and didn't detect any problems that were reported from the first full pass.
[10:24] <chickenF> Hi, Any ubuntu place on Second Life??
[10:24] <LiveFire> I ran the memory test at the suggestion of neverblue because each time I tried to load the os, my computer just kept booting over and over again
[10:24] <spcmn012> Jack_Sparrow: I've done that also and it wouldn't load nautilus afterword, but it still didn't fix my resolution
[10:25] <rapid>  i've got iptables -A FORWARD -i ath0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT ; iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i ath0 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.2.2:80 .. but it appears my connections in the logs are coming from 192.168.2.1 any ideas?
[10:25] <Oflodor> rabies: when switching users, screen goes completely blank, nothing works, only way out is to reboot (control alt backspace, control alt f_, really, nothing works)
[10:25] <rabies> Oflodor: so you want to install vmware, but vmware isnt working because you are using the radeon driver instead of the fglrx driver, and you wont using the fglrx driver because of issues w/ compiz-fusion?
[10:25] <spcmn012> LiveFire, does the OS load from the LiveCD and has it ever worked before?
[10:25] <LiveFire> I got an iso image that I burned onto a cd.  That booted up for me to install
[10:25] <Jack_Sparrow> spcmn012: Only suggestion is to post your xorg so people can look it over
[10:25] <nullkuhl> guys in terminal in gnome,, how to delete a directory..
[10:25] <spcmn012> Jack_Sparrow, post it here?
[10:26] <rabies> Oflodor: am i close?
[10:26] <bokl> hi, trying to make a disc image of a default installed Ubuntu 7. I use the bootable cd PING as disc image creator. It tells me to choose partitions. Which of these partitions do I need to backup for ubuntu to work: "hda1 (Linux), hda2 (Extended), hda5 (Linux swap /so)"? Is it enough to backup hda1?
[10:26] <Oflodor> rabies: no, i cant use fglrx due to the fglrx blank screen bug (happens while using compiz or not)
[10:26] <Xenguy> nullkuhl: is the dir empty?
[10:26] <spcmn012> LiveFire: The CD you burned, did it boot directly into the OS or did you have to install it first.
[10:26] <LiveFire> it booted to the install menu
[10:26] <nullkuhl> Xenguy: nah its not
[10:26] <Jack_Sparrow> spcmn012: Once again.. No... in the pastebin
[10:26] <LiveFire> never did boot into the os from the cd
[10:26] <spcmn012> Ok, so you're probably using a Alternate CD
[10:26] <Oflodor> rabies: so i have vmware installed, it works fine, but no 3d acceleration (it says it cant be loaded), due, perhaps, to using radeon driver
[10:26] <rabies> Oflodor: well...gl,
[10:26] <Xenguy> nullkuhl: this will delete the dir and all it contents: rm -rf dirname
[10:27] <rabies> Oflodor: yeah, its cause of the driver
[10:27] <rabies> Oflodor: you're using mesa, and mesa doesn't support 3d accel
[10:27] <WildZeck> how to get the clamd pajkage undre unbuntu please ?
[10:27] <spcmn012> Jack_Sparrow: How do I use the pastebin? Simply type "!Pastebin" followed by my paste and then enter?
[10:27] <rabies> Oflodor: at least not to the level that vmware prolly needs it
[10:27] <Oflodor> rabies: yeah, it lacks some GL_ extensions
[10:27] <spcmn012> LiveFire: After installing has it ever worked?
[10:27] <Jack_Sparrow> spcmn012: Please just use the link provided... click on it and copy your xorg to it.
[10:27] <Oflodor> rabies: *maybe* latest fglrx drivers would work for me, i should try them
[10:27] <wca> Anyone using gutsy?  Having weird issues with NFS.
[10:27] <spcmn012> Jack_Sparrow, the link from the !res?

[10:28] <LiveFire>  no.  After I installed, it kicked the cd out, restarted the computer, attempts to do some sort of loading, such as calling GRUB, initrd, then says "Boot" and restarts my computer
[10:28] <spcmn012> When I type that nothing happens
[10:28] <rabies> Oflodor: sounds like a plan

[10:28] <bony> how to see topic?
[10:28] <spcmn012> Ok, it worked after the 3rd time
[10:28] <rabies> Oflodor: if you dont want trouble, you should be dual booting
[10:28] <Xenguy> bony: /t
[10:28] <Oflodor> rabies: i didnt install it properly the last time, didnt know what to do with it
[10:29] <rabies> Oflodor: ?
[10:29] <bony> Xenguy, will that be visible to every one or only me?

[10:29] <spcmn012> LiveFire, I can only suggest trying to reinstall. Perhaps the new version? 7.04

[10:30] <bokl> hi, trying to make a disc image of a default installed Ubuntu 7. I use the bootable cd PING as disc image creator. It tells me to choose partitions. Which of these partitions do I need to backup for ubuntu to work: "hda1 (Linux), hda2 (Extended), hda5 (Linux swap /so)"? I have only one physical harddrive and it is a totally clean install - no other partitions etc created by me. Do I need the...
[10:30] <bokl> ...disc imaging software to backup only hd1 or 1,2&5 or some other combination?
[10:31] <spcmn012> Ok, I pasted it

[10:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about partimage - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:31] <Xyc0> I am on an nVidia card and I cannot change resolution, can someone help me figure this out?
[10:31] <rabies> bokl: you need the root partition and boot partition at a minimum
[10:32] <wooKieface> are there any software to edit an iso image of ubuntu, to change themes etc.
[10:32] <parkbench> i'm about to rip my hair out. i have no idea what to do with this Intel 3945ABG problem.
[10:32] <rabies> bokl: /usr would be good as well
[10:32] <rabies> parkbench: wireless eh?
[10:32] <parkbench> rabies: yes. and everything i read is telling me it should automatically detect but jeezis it's nt
[10:32] <rabies> parkbench: heh...
[10:32] <rabies> parkbench: install NetworkManager
[10:32] <Jack_Sparrow> spcmn012: When you did dpkg.. did you type in the name of the card generic etc, or just accept the wording it gave you.
[10:32] <nbkr> wooKieface, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[10:32] <parkbench> rabies: and all the guides and forum responses seem to start from the step of 'it recognizes the crad' but i cant even see it in lspci
[10:32] <JosefK> can anyone think of a way I can automount dvd/cd on insertion using the ubuntu mythtv setup (ie. no gnome-volume-manager)?
[10:33] <wooKieface> nbkr: thanks
[10:33] <Slart> JosefK: aren't there automounters out there?

[10:33] <Jack_Sparrow> spcmn012: I would also remove the sync for generic monitor...
[10:33] <parkbench> rabies: i think i have it?
[10:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Slart: Diskmounter...
[10:33] <rabies> parkbench: wait, you dont see it in lspci?
[10:33] <parkbench> rabies: no
[10:33] <rabies> parkbench: and you sure you have the card?
[10:33] <Xyc0> When I run nvidia-settings, my monitor display shows up as @@@, could that be why I can't change resolution?
[10:33] <Tamale> Can someone please help me with my fonts? Only bolded fonts are antialiased.. my normal sans font is not.
[10:33] <parkbench> i bought it
[10:33] <spcmn012> Jack_Sparrow: I accepted what it gave me. The only thing I changed was the resolution selections
[10:33] <inet_dude> guys can someone please confirm that running  "make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers" will create all that I need to get the kernel and header .deb files?
[10:33] <parkbench> rabies: and installed it myself , itwas easy
[10:33] <planttt> what tool/program can I use to use my webcam?
[10:33] <bokl> rabies: PING has a non-gui interface so I cant browse the partitions it lists... It only says ""hda1 (Linux), hda2 (Extended), hda5 (Linux swap /so)" Can you from that say which ones are root and so on?
[10:34] <spcmn012> Jack_Sparrow: So I should remove the two lines about the sync?
[10:34] <rabies> bokl: nay...
[10:34] <nbkr> planttt, what webcam is it?
[10:34] <planttt> nbkr: no idea, builtin Dell laptop
[10:34] <rabies> parkbench: yes, well at the moment its looking like you either installed a defective chip or installed it improperly
[10:34] <JosefK> Slart, there probably are, I don't know where to look though
[10:34] <aaroncampbell> How long does it normally take for a ticket submitted to lauchpad to get assigned, or at least looked at?
[10:34] <parkbench> rabies: ug. i guess so.
[10:34] <nbkr> planttt, what does lspci tell you?
[10:34] <Jack_Sparrow> spcmn012: I would remove the two lines about the sync and the res above 1024 and check it out
[10:34] <rabies> parkbench: pm me your lspci
[10:34] <parkbench> rabies: im going to install windwos on my other partition and see if it works i guess
[10:34] <rabies> parkbench: or pastebin it
[10:35] <blackcurtain> hey, I messed up my kernel and/or root file system, is there a way I can recover the OS?
[10:35] <Xyc0> Anyone give me any kind of feedback?
[10:35] <tehk> Is there a way to make one window never have window decorations
[10:35] <hollowlife1987> Bokl, hda1 has / , /boot etc, the hda2 is an extended partion in which the swap is part of
[10:35] <planttt> nbkr: Ricoh?
[10:35] <don> I use VLC for my webcam
[10:35] <planttt> nbkr: nope, thats the cardreader
[10:35] <rabies> blackcurtain: how?
[10:36] <ice-11> would the version of Mysql on Red Hat EL 2.1 be very much different from the version of Mysql on Red hat EL 5?  Like, would the tables be stored differently?
[10:36] <planttt> nbkr: there seems to be none
[10:36] <blackcurtain> rabies: well I'm pretty sure I touched some things I shouldn't have in the init files
[10:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Xyc0: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose vesa as your card and max res of 1024
[10:36] <inet_dude> Hi, how do I use linux-headers to remove a module I don't want the kernel to load?
[10:36] <bokl> rabies: ah, wait the first one had more info "hda1 (Linux) (mnt,root,initrd,sbin,opt,etc,srv,li...)" -- that one I need then? But the others Im unsure about... hda2 (Extended) hda5(swap)
[10:36] <don> You shouldn't depend on the order of the records in the table - use sort by
[10:36] <planttt> nbkr: lsusb gives me OmniVision
[10:36] <spcmn012> Jack_Sparrow: I removed the 1280x1024 resolutions and I've removed the sync lines. After saving should I restart x?
[10:36] <Xyc0> Jack_Sparrow: thnx, ill give that a try
[10:36] <rabies> bokl: that one you definitely need
[10:36] <inet_dude> do i use the same thing as make menu after i navigate into /usr/src/path-to-kernel-headers?
[10:37] <bokl> ok
[10:37] <parkbench> rabie: did you get that?
[10:37] <rabies> parkbench: cant say i did
[10:37] <Tamale> Can someone please help me with my fonts with my fiesty install? Only bolded fonts are antialiased.. my normal sans font is not.
[10:37] <hollowlife1987> bokl,  if i were you making a backup of it that you can recover from right off the bad i would backup the whole the whole hda drive
[10:37] <parkbench> rabies: hmm.
[10:37] <MrCollins> quake 3 arena has really POOR performance in ubuntu, on this box. and I have ample amount of ram, cpu and gpu.... can anyone try to give me a few hints or a website to try some stuff with?
[10:37] <Slart> JosefK: sorry I can't help you more.. I did a quick search and I didn't find anything appropriate... perhaps someone else knows more about automounting
[10:37] <Jack_Sparrow> spcmn012: yes
[10:37] <nbkr> planttt, Seems that Omnivision Webcams are not supported.

[10:38] <planttt> nbkr: where did you get that info?
[10:38] <neverblue> LiveFire, any errors?
[10:38] <rabies> parkbench: ahh...you need to use pastebin
[10:38] <blackcurtain> rabies: when the OS is booting, its stops and freezes at the very beginning
[10:38] <spcmn012> Ok, I'll restart x as soon as I'm done posting this thread.

[10:45] <numus> http://pastebin.com/m2496f502
[10:45] <don> Biggest problem with wireless adapters is the firmware that needs to be present on your machine for downloading into the card.
[10:45] <rabies> parkbench: yeah, something's wrong w/ the install
[10:45] <numus> wolfsong on what
[10:45] <parkbench> rabies: :x

[10:47] <wolfsong> where is it getting that from?
[10:47] <reizend> numus: I am not sure if someone reccomend this already but it may be worth a try: 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' then try the upgrade again

[10:50] <Xyc0> neverblue: I used restricted driver installer to install nVidia drivers, and I reconfigured xorg to only have 1024x768, but it still runs in 800x600
[10:51] <velko> numus, badblocks
[10:51] <nbkr> s17ence, try do move it on a console and in combination with sudo.
[10:51] <s17ence> mhm
[10:51] <numus> it says i have broken updates in synaptic
[10:51] <tschaub> nbkr: worked like a charm - thanks for the pointer
[10:51] <neverblue> Xyc0, so xorg only has that res ?
[10:52] <chris32680> stupid question probably....when i chose to start 'gaim' the 'buddy' window didn't open, just my default #ubuntu irc...any idea why?
[10:52] <phpusmo> Hello, is there a way I can retrieve the root pass if I forgot it without formatting?
[10:52] <Xyc0> neverblue, well I deleted all but 1024
[10:52] <numus> how do i use badblocks
[10:52] <Xyc0> neverblue, its also running at a weird refresh rate
[10:52] <don> Boot in single user mod to reset the root passwd
[10:52] <nbkr> phpusmo, boot in single user mode or use a live CD to reset the password
[10:52] <neverblue> Xyc0, so it only has that res.. did you run the nvidia-settings ?
[10:53] <s17ence> can i move the entire directory?
[10:53] <s17ence> or just a file
[10:53] <Xyc0> neverblue, previously to editing xorg, yes
[10:53] <neverblue> man mv or man cp
[10:53] <phpusmo> nbkr, how can I boot in single user mode?
[10:53] <nbkr> s17ence, you can move entire directory.
[10:53] <blackcurtain> rabies: okay so what information do you need from me on pastebin?
[10:53] <darlok> If I use a terminal to login as a separate user, how would I go about starting Gnome as them?
[10:53] <rdag1> Hello all
[10:54] <don> If you are using GRUB, you can add s to the boot line (single user mode)
[10:54] <scipio> chris32680, so you don't have the gaim icon in the notification area (traybar)?
[10:54] <neverblue> Xyc0, there is a key sequence to change resolutions on the fly, ctrl-alt-+ and ctrl-alt-- (minus),supposedly it works for the +/- on the numberical keypad
[10:54] <rabies> the error
[10:54] <neverblue> Xyc0, I myself wasnt able to get it to work
[10:54] <nbkr> phpusmo, There should be a "recovery mode" on the grub menu. That has already added the "single" command.
[10:54] <rabies> blackcurtain: the error
[10:54] <z987k> got a problem with my digital camera, I've exhausted everything I can find on the forums..... I have a canon a710IS, it's PTP mode only and when trying to import photos, I get the error: "PTP error, data expected" followed by "PTP I/O error".
[10:55] <Xyc0> neverblue, I think it is having problems with the monitor, though it auto recoglizes it
[10:55] <neverblue> Xyc0, well, i wasnt able to fix that issue when I had it myself
[10:55] <neverblue> Xyc0, dual head Nvidia?
[10:55] <neverblue> or dual cards?
[10:55] <Xyc0> neverblue, no just one express
[10:56] <s17ence> i cannot move the folder because i dont have permission
[10:56] <Xyc0> neverblue, but I am not sure if it is trying to run in dual head
[10:56] <s17ence> hold

[10:56] <z987k> s17ence, look into chmod and chown
[10:56] <madgoat> hi I installed sendmail on my ubuntu server, but it doesn't seem to have local-host-names in the config... is this normal?
[10:56] <wolfsong> anyone know how to remove all references to eth1 when networking restarts?

[10:57] <nbkr> Bo3, slow PC?

[10:58] <ochosi> hi, both my monitor and my graphics card are capable of a resolution higher than 1024x768 (e.g. 1280x1024), but somehow xorg.conf doesn't accept it (Xorg.0.log says:(II) VESA(0): Not using mode "1280x1024" (no mode of this name) )
[10:58] <Xyc0> neverblue, I am not in xchat
[10:58] <nbkr> Bo3, slow dhcp server.
[10:58] <Xyc0> neverblue, do you have a terminal command for that?

[10:59] <neverblue> and if you have dual monitors, its a dual head card
[10:59] <kurosaki> Bo3, Okies shouldn't be that slow. You can check services from System -> Services.
[10:59] <slavik> who thinks that they have "heavy linux experience" and knows what PATH is?
[10:59] <scipio> neverblue, /help exec shows a page of help so i guess it does :)
[10:59] <neverblue> Xyc0, check in #ubuntu-effects, they might be able to assist further
[11:00] <neverblue> thanks scipio :)
[11:00] <madgoat> I have lost my /etc/mail configuration... I tried apt-get --reinstall install sendmail but it didn't put it back... what do I need?

[11:00] <numus> i keep getting that
[11:00] <numus> i uninstalled everything and reinstalled it
[11:00] <Bo3> kurosaki:how i know which 1 i should turn off?
[11:00] <neverblue> Xyc0, sorry, thats all I can offer :)
[11:00] <blackcurtain> rabies: The OS I need to recover is on the same computer I'm working at
[11:00] <numus> maybe it is downloading a bad file
[11:00] <_blix_> right, I'm guessing my controller is the problem to my Windows XP boot failure
[11:01] <numus> how do i reset the download files
[11:01] <Xyc0> neverblue, no worries, thanks
[11:01] <kurosaki> Bo3, This is a default install? And you havn't gone crazy installing servers?
[11:01] <mjancaitis> Neverblue, anybody here that can help me with a vmware problem?
[11:01] <Bo3> kurosaki:yeah sure
[11:01] <neverblue> mjancaitis, not sure why your directing your question at me
[11:01] <ianm_> hmm so if your main EXT3 partition is remounted read-only after an error, how bad a sign is that for the future of your hard drive?
[11:01] <neverblue> !ask | mjancaitis
[11:01] <ubotu> mjancaitis: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:01] <mjancaitis> You just appeared to be helpful, figured you might know who to ask
[11:01] <_blix_> ianm_quite bad if you want to install windows
[11:02] <mjancaitis> I have the awesome vmware-player problem - can't uninstall it or permanently remove it no matter what I try, any help?
[11:02] <Thursty> can someone help me install ATI drivers in ubuntu?
[11:02] <Drk_Guy> Hi guys!
[11:02] <ianm_> _blix_: hm?
[11:02] <Drk_Guy> !Ati
[11:02] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:02] <Bo3> guys ill be right bacck
[11:02] <neverblue> !ati | Thursty
[11:02] <ubotu> Thursty: please see above
[11:02] <Thursty> i already did that
[11:02] <Thursty> that's why i'm here
[11:02] <_blix_> ianm_ I have issues ...sorry
[11:02] <kurosaki> Bo3, Well unless you've installed a bunch of stuff there shouldn't really be anything in services you should stop. I'd suggest looking in your /var/log dir for any errors while booting.
[11:02] <Drk_Guy> Guys, My pen-drive isn't beign mounted correctly
[11:02] <neverblue> !anyone
[11:02] <ubotu> 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?
[11:03] <Gnea> Thursty: you should explain your problem in great detail then
[11:03] <Thursty> ok well
[11:03] <Thursty> i followed that guide very closely
[11:03] <neverblue> Thursty, please keep your questions to one liners, thanks! :)
[11:04] <Thursty> and when i boot up x doesn't start and tells me fglrx: no device found or something similar
[11:04] <Thursty> sorry
[11:04] <mjancaitis> I have the awesome vmware-player problem - can't uninstall it or permanently remove it no matter what I try
[11:04] <numus> anyone help me.. i need to know how to force ubuntu to download a new version of the software instead of unpacking the old one
[11:04] <roguetrick> mjancaitis -  that does sound awsome
[11:04] <Gnea> Thursty: are you sure you're using the proper driver?
[11:04] <mjancaitis> Yeah, and it screwed up my login, so all I can get into is the recovery console
[11:04] <Thursty> the one from the guide says it supports my radeon 9000 pro
[11:05] <colourAgga> finally got my ubuntu the way i like it :)
[11:05] <ramunasM> numus: you have the old one cached by apt?
[11:05] <Thursty> colourAgga congrats
[11:05] <numus> idk
[11:05] <colourAgga> got the Beryl working
[11:05] <kurosaki> numus, Not sure how to force apt to download (though a man apt-get might help) but you can delete the cached file in /var/cache/apt
[11:05] <numus> ramunasM i think it is a bad download
[11:05] <nbkr> Bo3, see the scripts in /etc/init.d and their links in /etc/rcX.d (where X is a number) - they start the services. Use update-rc.d to remove the links and so prevent services from starting. Be careful what you do, some services are essential.
[11:05] <ramunasM> numus: try sudo apt-get clean this will clear the cache
[11:06] <royman> http://www.ece.osu.edu/ssh/ <- anyone know if this is secure? so they cant sniff what im writing, and my pw etc
[11:06] <numus> ramunasM the problem is openoffice.. i think there is a bad download because it gives me an error when installing an update to core
[11:06] <Meroigo> When I watch videos in fullscreen in VLC, and someone writes me on Gaim, VLC goes out of fullscreen. How can i fix it if it's possible?..
[11:07] <rdag1> Can one modify a USB printer driver to work for the ethernet version?
[11:07] <iGadget> does anyone know anything about a next-gen replacement for nfs?
[11:07] <mjancaitis> mero - leave a gaim window up in the background and use tabs; the new window when somebody messages you knocks vlc out of fullscreen
[11:07] <colourAgga> gt5: prologue?
[11:07] <numus> now it is redownloading
[11:07] <Meroigo> mjancaitis: okay, too bad they haven't fixed it.
[11:07] <neverblue> can you setup ctrl-left and ctrl-right to stop on certain characters, when searching documentation, not meaning editor specific, but in Gnome
[11:08] <numus> how do you use badblocks
[11:08] <numus> or anyone know another program to scan and fix bad sectors
[11:08] <neverblue> man badblocks
[11:08] <neverblue> numus, man badblocks
[11:08] <numus> thanks

[11:09] <n0dding0ff> Could someone please help me with an alsa problem?
[11:09] <neverblue> daffa, install the 'alternate' CD instead

[11:09] <neverblue> mjancaitis, whats the 'removal' error, that might help alot in replies to your question
[11:10] <daffa> neverblue: sorry, but what alternate cd? I just downed the desktop iso from ubuntu.com
[11:10] <mjancaitis> Tons of them, but the last one is : "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
[11:10] <Cin> can I changed ~/Desktop to ~/desktop ?
[11:10] <neverblue> daffa, its available in the same place
[11:10] <Cin> will that cause issues/
[11:10] <mjancaitis> There's also "invoke-rc.d: initscript vmware-player, action 'stop' failed"
[11:11] <neverblue> Cin, i wont recommend it
[11:11] <nickrud> Cin, just make a symlink, that way you have the best of both worlds
[11:11] <plorx> Cin, it won't work.  case sensitivity and all.
[11:11] <Blauhaut> selam
[11:11] <darlok> If I use a terminal to login as a separate user, how would I go about starting Gnome as them?
[11:11] <neverblue> mjancaitis, maybe putting your errors on pastbin ?
[11:11] <_blix_> RIGHT
[11:11] <colourAgga> darlok: you type: "startx"
[11:11] <mjancaitis> How does one use pastebin again?

[11:11] <neverblue> can you setup ctrl-left and ctrl-right to stop on certain characters, when searching documentation, not meaning editor specific, but in Gnome
[11:11] <daffa> should I get the 6.06lts?
[11:11] <Cin> plorx, well I meant to change what programs use, instead of looking for 'Desktop' they look for 'desktop'. can I do that?
[11:11] <n0dding0ff> I followed the instructions in the page http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-atiixp but I got the following error message:
[11:11] <_blix_> hopefully in these drivers there is a controller
[11:11] <_blix_> daffa -->no
[11:11] <numus> i dont see how badblocks scans an entire drive
[11:12] <_blix_> get the latest
[11:12] <plorx> Cin, probably, but it's probably far more work than it's worth.
[11:12] <Cin> ugh
[11:12] <Cin> who decided to make it upper case?
[11:12] <n0dding0ff> When I ran alsamixer, I got:
[11:12] <duvnell> I've dropped a .desktop file (which I believe to be well formed) in $HOME/.local/share/applications ... is there something I need to run to make gnome rebuild the start menu?  I ask because restarting gnome makes it find the file and update the menu.. so I assume there's a command to make it do that process while gnome is still running

[11:15] <fuoco> if i have a deb-src line, how can i get a source package from it?
[11:15] <neverblue> wb jrib :)
[11:15] <PriceChild> fuoco, apt-get source <package name>
[11:15] <blix_> I want Ubuntu to be dominant Linux distro
[11:15] <colourAgga> what was the trick with getting XviD to work properly?
[11:15] <neverblue> fuoco, you can request source in your sudo aptitude... line
[11:15] <colourAgga> at the moment i only get some black screens and see some frames now and then but not the full movie
[11:15] <neverblue> or what PriceChild said :P
[11:16] <bruenig> fuoco, apt-get source package
[11:16] <xjkx> why it happens on glxinfo: http://www.pastebin.ca/672776
[11:16] <colourAgga> not in VLC nor Totem
[11:16] <Grungebunny> Hello, im wanting to install Kismet but the download page for it is kinda confusing.. anyone willing to help me walkthrough it to get it installed properly?
[11:16] <fuoco> PriceChild, neverblue, bruenig: i must have the line in source.list? can i do it otherwise?
[11:16] <bruenig> !info kismet
[11:16] <ubotu> kismet: Wireless 802.11b monitoring tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 2006.04.R1-1.1 (feisty), package size 964 kB, installed size 2448 kB
[11:16] <bruenig> Grungebunny, in the repos, problem with that?
[11:16] <PriceChild> fuoco, you must have it in your sources.list
[11:16] <Slart> Zodiac: just to make things a bit clearer.. you can use 32-bit or 64-bit, both will work. 64bit will give you a little bit better performance (not noticable unless you're doing something very specific) but some software require a bit more work on the 64bit version (flash is one example). 32 bit is easier to run and for a first time user that doesn't really want to compile stuff I would recommend 32-bit
[11:17] <Grungebunny> bruenig its in synaptc ?
[11:17] <bruenig> Grungebunny, um yeah we'll say that
[11:17] <bruenig> Grungebunny, it is in the repositories which are accessible via the apt-get command which synaptic is a front end for
[11:17] <blix_> Right folks
[11:17] <blix_> I think I am on to solving my issue
[11:17] <Grungebunny> burenig ahh I figured kismet wouldn't be in it.
[11:18] <blix_> I have found the Sata drivers to my controller
[11:18] <bruenig> Grungebunny, why?
[11:18] <blix_> now I need some assistance
[11:18] <Grungebunny> bruenig cause its kinda shady software so to speak
[11:18] <bruenig> Grungebunny, it is not shady in itself
[11:18] <blix_> actually brb
[11:18] <bruenig> Grungebunny, they have bittorrent clients in the repositories too
[11:18] <bruenig> Grungebunny, and web browsers

[11:20] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: what does it return
[11:20] <Chorus> why shouldnt I use -j3 when compileing a kernel with debian/rules=
[11:20] <Chorus> ?
[11:20] <MrCollins> mind if I paste 2 lines here?
[11:20] <tuna-fish> no
[11:20] <MrCollins> Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual
[11:20] <MrCollins> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[11:20] <bruenig> Chorus, you can use -j3 if you want
[11:20] <MrCollins> a bunch of the Xlib
[11:20] <bruenig> Chorus, not like it affects the end binaries
[11:20] <Slart> allorder: ubuntu supports almost all mice on the market.. you won't get the spiffy driver extras that the windows users get but all buttons should work including scrolling wheels and such. You might have to do a bit of configuring to get it all to work
[11:21] <MrCollins> I have tried apt-get install nvidia-glx I believe I have that installed as of right now tuna-fish
[11:21] <allorder> Slart: ok thx ill give a try
[11:21] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: what does the restricted drivers manager say?
[11:21] <MrCollins> because on the ubuntu forum someone was saying do apt-get install nvidia-settings
[11:21] <MrCollins> the box for enabled is unchecked but there is a green check mark saying 'in use'
[11:22] <tuna-fish> what did glxinfo | grep direct output?
[11:22] <Grungebunny> bruenig okay one more question.. do you happen to know what desktop menu it stuck kismet under? im not seeing it under apps or system anywhere.
[11:22] <bruenig> Grungebunny, kismet is console only
[11:22] <MrCollins> this: Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual
[11:22] <MrCollins> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[11:22] <Chorus> bruenig - someone told me I shouldnt use -j when compiling with debian/rules
[11:22] <tuna-fish> if it doesn't say direct rendering: yes, then the nvidia drivers are not in use
[11:22] <Zodiac> thx again - wish me luck installing :D
[11:22] <Grungebunny> bruenig ahhh....
[11:22] <tuna-fish> hmmmm
[11:22] <bruenig> Chorus, are you wanting to submit this kernel to debian repositories or something?
[11:23] <Pici> What is the CLI command that will return back last accessed/modify/create times?
[11:23] <bruenig> Chorus, I dont' know of the official debian policy, that seems like a stupid rule, but especially if you are just doing it for your own kernel, it certainly doesn't matter
[11:23] <Chorus> bruenig - nah, just wondering what the problem might be
[11:23] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: try to turn them off and then on again, then restart X
[11:23] <Calix> whats the best app to use for burning an iso to cd in ubuntu?
[11:23] <bruenig> Calix, cdrecord
[11:23] <mjancaitis> vmware-player problems, can't uninstall, can't forcibly remove, some error excerpts pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35305/
[11:23] <MrCollins> turn what off and on?
[11:23] <bruenig> !best | Calix
[11:23] <ubotu> Calix: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[11:23] <Pici> !burners | Calix
[11:23] <ubotu> Calix: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[11:23] <chrisy> Is it possible to turn off Xorg logging?
[11:23] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: turn what off and on?
[11:23] <Chorus> bruenig - he said it could mess things up if I use debian/rules -j3, but thats not correct?
[11:24] <Slart> Calix: I use brasero or gnomebaker.. cdrecords works too
[11:24] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: X. try ctrl-alt-backspace. will shut down all running graphical programs
[11:24] <Fonon> hi
[11:24] <blackcurtain> How do I scan out a pathway to the part of my hard disk that has my first partition (hda1)?
[11:24] <rdag1> Anyone know about CUPS printing to an Ethernet printer?
[11:24] <MrCollins> oh ok.... tuna-fish i am running this terminal irssi from within x i will brb
[11:24] <bruenig> Chorus, number of jobs doesn't affect anything
[11:24] <cherosk> Hi, got a simple Q.  Got system just set up at home, got SSH access to CLI, but am abroad.  How do I set up VNC access to X from CLI?
[11:24] <Chorus> bruenig - ok, thanks
[11:25] <mjancaitis> bruenig, have a second? vmware-player problems, can't uninstall, can't forcibly remove, some error excerpts pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35305/
[11:25] <blix_> hi folks
[11:25] <blix_> closer to heaven
[11:25] <cherosk> (seen it somewhere in manual, but don't seem to be able to find it now)
[11:25] <blix_> how do I access my USB stick
[11:25] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: ok i am back
[11:25] <MrCollins> now what
[11:25] <blix_> how do I know what drive path it is?
[11:25] <tuna-fish> try the glxinfo thing
[11:25] <Some_ux> well, it appears i'm not the only one with missing window frames and beryl, but i cant find any useful advice on the forums
[11:26] <MrCollins> blix_: do you have mount point set?
[11:26] <MrCollins> ok
[11:26] <cherosk> blix: from command line or Gnome/KDE?
[11:26] <xjkx> why it happens on glxinfo: http://www.pastebin.ca/672776
[11:26] <blix_> uhh.. nope
[11:26] <blix_> I've just shoved the stick in
[11:26] <tuna-fish> mrCollins: when you change thins with X you always gotta reboot it first to see if it worked
[11:26] <blix_> and I need to copy my SATA drivers
[11:26] <bruenig> mjancaitis, delete the prerm script in /var/apt/something or other, I have forgotten the actual path
[11:26] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: Yes, it sucks
[11:26] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: i figured. yeah  i know ahahhah
[11:26] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: should I try q3 again?
[11:26] <tuna-fish> no, just the glxinfo thing
[11:26] <MrCollins> ok
[11:26] <scipio> Some_ux, add this to your xorg.conf file: Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
[11:26] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: it returned the same results
[11:27] <ansque> where i can find executiv documents?
[11:27] <cherosk> blix: see if subsystem sees it, do an fdisk -l and see if it comes up (also gives you the path)
[11:27] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: it crashes beacuse unless glxinfo says you go diect rendering, it cannot even begin to try using your system
[11:27] <Some_ux> ok, lemme just back the xorg.conf first
[11:27] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: go to restricted drivers manager, and turn the nvidia driver off
[11:27] <mjancaitis> bruenig, I don't have an apt under /var, forgot to mention I'm in recovery mod
[11:27] <Fonon> which is better for gaming, KDE or GNOME?
[11:27] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: ok.. so I am nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[11:27] <Fonon> or Xfce?
[11:28] <tuna-fish> no
[11:28] <blix_> cherosk
[11:28] <blix_> checking
[11:28] <bruenig> mjancaitis, it might be /var/cache or something, here just cd into /var and do: find . | grep \.prerm$
[11:28] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: the driver is off or the check box is unchecked in the driver manager
[11:28] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: try using the graphical restricted drivers manager
[11:28] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: now turn it back on, and restart X
[11:28] <MrCollins> ok
[11:28] <MrCollins> brb
[11:29] <juri245> I removed kubuntu-desktop from ubuntu, but the login is still kubuntu.
[11:29] <juri245> can I get rid of that?
[11:29] <MrCollins> ok I am back now it is saying I need to do a system restart
[11:29] <titancompu> Hey, I have two internet connections available to me. My personal one and my schools. I have two NICs available as well. Is it possible to combine the power of the two internets together?
[11:29] <tuna-fish> try glxinfo first
[11:29] <bruenig> juri245, kubuntu-desktop is a meta package, you didn't remove anything really
[11:29] <MrCollins> tuna-fish:
[11:29] <mjancaitis> bruenig, got a nice big list, am I looking for a prerm having to do with vmware?
[11:30] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: direct rendering is yes
[11:30] <scipio> juri245, system-admin-login window
[11:30] <tuna-fish> it will work
[11:30] <bruenig> mjancaitis, yeah, just find the vmware one, should have the same name as the packae
[11:30] <Dusk_> i have character problem in mplayer and vlc player subtitles..i want to install some fonts to mplayer..where are the fonts in the system???
[11:30] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: thank you
[11:30] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: try q3 now
[11:30] <mjancaitis> Got it, thanks
[11:30] <mikeconcepts> I made the mistake of not installing the driver for my TV Tuner prior to running Kaffeine for the first time, how can I get Kaffeine to be totally removed so that it will detect the fact that dvb is present when started for the first time
[11:30] <wctraxler> #supertux
[11:31] <bruenig> Dusk_, /usr/share/fonts generally
[11:31] <Dusk_> bruenig: let me check
[11:31] <juri245> How can I remove kubuntu login screen, and get ubuntu login back.  It has language selection
[11:31] <bruenig> juri245, probably apt-get remove kdm
[11:32] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: ok man! it works thanks! now I have another problem q3 has laggy performance 'in game'
[11:32] <rapid> ack :)
[11:32] <Some_ux> scipio: nope, those lines are already in my xorg.conf
[11:32] <juri245> bruenig, thank you, I:ll try it
[11:32] <blix_> cherosk...there is a drive listed
[11:32] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: this is what i broke trying to get it to perform better now.....
[11:32] <bruenig> can you have kdm and gdm installed simultaneously, that seems like a difficult thing to do considering ubuntu tries to be a zero configuration thing
[11:32] <cherosk> What is it?
[11:32] <blix_> how do I access that drive?
[11:32] <bruenig> seems like they would have one conflict with the other
[11:32] <PanicByte> I got a problem with synaptic, whenever I install/remove/change a package, i get "E: acpid: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" but everything is running fine, including ACPI, and i can't stop this error
[11:32] <tonsofpcs> where does feisty fawn store wep keys?
[11:32] <scipio> Some_ux, did you try right click on beryl icon and reload window manager/window decorator?
[11:33] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: are you still there?
[11:33] <cherosk> blix: tell me the drive.  If you're in Gnome or KDE, chances are it's automounted (on prompt you could see that if you do 'df')
[11:33] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: yes
[11:33] <PanicByte> tonsofpcs, in your home directory i believe, on your keyring (so it's encrypted)
[11:33] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: wait a sec
[11:33] <happyface_0> Can someone take a look at this? It's important that I get it working http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3263924#post3263924
[11:33] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: sorry. ok bro,.
[11:33] <Kousotu> [16:32:50]  Kousotu : is there any way to check Thermals in Linux?
[11:33] <bruenig> PanicByte, it means that the acpid package you installed perhaps some time in the past didn't install correctly
[11:33] <PanicByte> bruenig, it's working fine
[11:33] <Some_ux> scipio: yes, i tried clicking refresh
[11:34] <bruenig> PanicByte, might just try removing it sudo apt-get remove acpid
[11:34] <PanicByte> how do i get rid of the error
[11:34] <rapid> the WEP key is stored in cleartext in /etc/network/interfaces
[11:34] <bruenig> PanicByte, yeah but the post install script failed
[11:34] <PanicByte> i removed it
[11:34] <PanicByte> i installed it
[11:34] <PanicByte> i can't get rid of the error
[11:34] <PanicByte> it's working fine
[11:34] <bruenig> PanicByte, error keeps coming back?
[11:34] <cherosk> Otherwise do "mkdir MyDrive", then "mount device MyDrive" ie "mount /dev/sda1 MyDrive"
[11:34] <tuna-fish> mrcollins: do you have nvidia-settings installed?
[11:34] <PanicByte> yup
[11:34] <neverblue> can you setup ctrl-left and ctrl-right to stop on certain characters, when searching documentation, not meaning editor specific, but in Gnome
[11:34] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: well when I do nvidia-glx is removes the nvidia-settings and vice versa
[11:35] <cherosk> blix:Don't forget to do "sync" then "umount MyDrive" afterwards.
[11:35] <PanicByte> bruenig, is there like a file i can manually edit to make it ignore that?
[11:35] <tuna-fish> hmmm, what?
[11:35] <bruenig> PanicByte, that makes sense actually, I am not sure how to tell it to shut up, you can always extract the deb and see what the deal is with the post install script and put it back together, or there may be some dpkg option that will allow it like dpkg -i --force-all or something so that it doesn't say that
[11:35] <ansque> where i can find /usr/share/example-content?
[11:35] <ansque> in web
[11:35] <scipio> Some_ux, nvidia or ati?
[11:35] <MrCollins> ok when I do apt-get install nvidia-glx in the apt script it removes nvidia-settings
[11:35] <blix_> mmm
[11:35] <abyss> lo im running Ubuntu FF! Where i can turn of permanent the beeper sound from console and anjute compile processes?
[11:35] <blix_> ok let me try
[11:35] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: and vice versa.
[11:36] <bruenig> PanicByte, is it running the post install script everytime I wonder? is that why it is doing that? if that is the case then you can delete or modify the post install script in /var where it is stored
[11:36] <blix_> right the drive is already mounted
[11:36] <PanicByte> acpi is installed, and working fine, (i had a problem with it earlier, but after the reinstall, it worked fine)
[11:36] <tonsofpcs> PanicByte: how can I recover one for a network that isn't in range?  I know if I connect to a network, I can iwconfig and see it, but I'm not at the site where the router is and the end user forgot the wep key....
[11:36] <dark|da> hello
[11:36] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: can we continue on a private window, my eyes hut trying to follow text here
[11:36] <rapid> abyss, try setterm -blength 0
[11:36] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: absolutely bro.
[11:36] <Some_ux> scipio: nvidia G72M GeForce 7300 Go
[11:36] <MrCollins> which channel should I join?
[11:36] <cherosk> blix: That means it's automounted.  You should be able to get there with file manager.
[11:36] <bruenig> PanicByte, the post install script happens after it is installed, so the files are all in place and a script is run afterwards to do something that may or may not be essential, so it can easily work and keep erring like that
[11:37] <rapid> abyss, sorry xset b off
[11:37] <scipio> Some_ux, try this and restart X: sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals
[11:37] <mjancaitis> bruenig, thanks so much, worked perfectly; now to see if my login has fixed itself
[11:37] <apocalypti> why have the last few programs ive tried to install not shown up on my applications list?
[11:37] <PanicByte> where is this post install script?

[11:37] <PanicByte> bruenig, where is this post install script?
[11:37] <abyss> rapid: is this now permanent?
[11:37] <tonsofpcs> happyface_0: is that first path in your PATH?
[11:37] <bruenig> mjancaitis, what is the path to that script that you deleted?
[11:37] <Guest48332> www.acuatoria.com unlimited space for free. up and download : mp3,games,vids,app,share all
[11:37] <jrib> abyss: or go to system -> preferences -> sounds

[11:38] <Kousotu> [16:32:50]  Kousotu : is there any way to check Thermals in Linux?
[11:38] <apocalypti> why have the last few programs ive tried to install not shown up on my applications list?
[11:39] <valemon> In the lspci which component is the m/b?
[11:39] <bruenig> dark|da, probably a permission problem, the same happened to me on another distro when an upgrade of "sudo" was borked
[11:39] <rapid> none
[11:39] <Some_ux> scipio: booting the whole thing now
[11:39] <rapid> valemon, its not listed, as its not a PCI device.
[11:39] <Kousotu> hey jrib
[11:39] <valemon> hmmm
[11:39] <rapid> valemon, hence lspci means, list pci devices i guess.
[11:39] <jrib> Kousotu: hi
[11:39] <valemon> in my laptop it is listed though
[11:39] <PanicByte> it's working absolutely fine, but it's just this stupid error message won't shutup, and it's causing other errors
[11:39] <scipio> Some_ux, allright
[11:39] <rapid> valemon, it is?
[11:40] <wctraxler_> how do i get too #supertux
[11:40] <Kousotu> jrib: how's ya?
[11:40] <rapid> wctraxler, /j #supertux
[11:40] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: did you see any of that?
[11:40] <jrib> wctraxler_: /join #supertux
[11:40] <valemon> maybe not...
[11:40] <apocalypti> why have the last few programs ive tried to install not shown up on my applications list?
[11:40] <valemon> rapid: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS/940GML
[11:40] <neverblue> apocalypti, give an example, what program?
[11:40] <jrib> apocalypti: what programs?
[11:40] <dark|da> bruenig, how to fix that?
[11:40] <tuna-fish> try typing nvidia-settings to the console, the package nvidia-settings is some old crud.
[11:41] <valemon> this is the motherboard
[11:41] <PanicByte> bruenig, there is a file somewhere, that keeps track of package dependencies and what packages are installed and stuff, do you know what file that is, i can't remember off the top of my head
[11:41] <apocalypti> jrib: kalarm and TiLP
[11:41] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: try typing nvidia-settings to the console, the package nvidia-settings is some old crud.
[11:41] <neverblue> apocalypti, they might be run from command line
[11:41] <rapid> valemon, thats not your MB afaik
[11:41] <blix_> how do I copy the contents of my clipboard to /dev/sdb1 (usb stick)
[11:41] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: it should be included in the newer driver package
[11:41] <mjancaitis> bruenig: /var/lib/dpkg/info/vmware-player.prerm, I think
[11:41] <benzss> where's the best place to get screenlets?
[11:41] <valemon> kousotu: under proc/acpi must be something like thermal zone
[11:42] <tonsofpcs> happyface_0: do you know what your PATH is?
[11:42] <apocalypti> neverblue: it didnt say anything like that on the install page, and youd think an alarm would need a graphic interface
[11:42] <valemon> Can I find the chip in someway?
[11:42] <tonsofpcs> how can I recover a WEP key for a network that isn't in range?  I know if I connect to a network, I can iwconfig and see it, but I'm not at the site where the router is and the end user forgot the wep key....
[11:42] <mjancaitis> bruenig: deleted that, then ran the dpkg remove again and it disappeared, no broken packages in synaptic anymore
[11:42] <PanicByte> mjancaitis, you trying to install VMware?
[11:42] <mjancaitis> Right now I'm trying to get rid of it
[11:42] <Some_ux> scipio: i tried something diffrent, i set the default depth to 24 then boot the whole thing, i now shows me an Nvidia logo when i startx and the frames are back
[11:42] <mjancaitis> Then I'll worry about installing it again
[11:42] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: Still there?
[11:42] <PanicByte> mjancaitis, thats a PITA
[11:43] <mjancaitis> Panic - no joke
[11:43] <jrib> blix_: what is it?  text? a file?
[11:43] <PanicByte> mjancaitis, i started using virtualbox.org now, and love it
[11:43] <mjancaitis> Billions of articles on failed installs on google
[11:43] <ansque> did someone can send me /usr/share/example-content?
[11:43] <scipio> Some_ux, so everything works now? great
[11:43] <neverblue> apocalypti, i never said that was the reason why, I said it might be, depending on the applications you are isntalling
[11:43] <mjancaitis> panic, I'll look into it, thanks

[11:44] <Egyn> Hi, i've followed the "HOWTO: Broadcom 43xx based wireless cards the EASY way" on the forums but my radio never gets activated. This is very annoying. Any ideas?
[11:44] <blix_> I just want to copy them and paste them onto my USB stick
[11:44] <Egyn> I'm using 7.04 x64
[11:44] <happyface_0> no I don't, tonsofpcs
[11:44] <Some_ux> scipio: not sure, just the wobble thinggy works
[11:44] <jrib> blix_: your usb stick should be mounted somewhere, just right click -> copy the files and then navigate to the directory where your usb stick is mounted and right click -> paste using nautilus
[11:45] <happyface_0> unless you mean /usr/lib/Java6u2/bin/java, tonsofpcs
[11:45] <Parisi> Back
[11:45] <blix_> jrib: ok, I'll try it..one moment
[11:45] <happyface_0> theconartist: guild wars?
[11:45] <jrib> blix_: the usb stick is probably in /media somewhere
[11:45] <mjancaitis> bruenig: Ok, that didn't fix my other issue: when I try to log into my normal session (not recovery mode), it starts booting and then gets to a black screen with the rotating mouse cursor and doesn't go anywhere
[11:45] <wctraxler_> thanks jrib
[11:45] <Some_ux> scipio: workspace on a cube does not work
[11:45] <blix_> k
[11:45] <kristofer> I've got a dell d610, and I'm trying to figure out how to make the special resolution work with 915resolution. No matter what I do though, it still always defaults to 1024x768. the crazy part is that resolution isn't even in xorg.conf. any ideas?
[11:46] <mjancaitis> I didn't mess with autologin or anything like I've seen on google, so I don't know what could be causing it
[11:46] <jrib> apocalypti: are you on kde or gnome?
[11:46] <blix_> jrib: I'm able to copy the 4 folders, bu the Paste option is greyed out
[11:46] <blix_> jrib: any clues?
[11:46] <hendrixski> umm, how do I send a file not in my currently directory using FTP?  ftp can't figure it out if I just give it the path :-(
[11:46] <Kousotu> blix_: did you wait a few seconds?
[11:46] <abyss> anyone can tell my why anjuta creates when using class wizard 2 *.cc files? one in the include where the header is located and one in the src folder?
[11:46] <jrib> blix_: ah, then you must not have permission.  What filesystem is on the usb stick?
[11:47] <scipio> Some_ux, make sure you have beryl started. if it's still not working you can ask about that in #beryl or #desktop-effects
[11:47] <dark|da> bruener?
[11:47] <dark|da> i have fixed the problem
[11:47] <blix_> jrib: ah permissions, good point
[11:47] <Kousotu> jrib: it could aslo be he didn't give it enough time
[11:47] <blix_> how would I chmod it/
[11:47] <blix_> ?
[11:47] <Kousotu> also*
[11:48] <Awsoonn> hi! I'm having trouble gettign my dailup connection to work, if i choose to wait for dail tone, it never dials, and if I say don't wait I can hear the recording saying please dail a number
[11:48] <dark|da> System -> Login -> Lokal -> activate menuborder
[11:48] <bEtAAAaaaa> ola
[11:49] <Calus> anyone here that can tell me how to reset my root password?
[11:49] <jrib> Kousotu: maybe
[11:49] <jrib> !root > Calus (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:49] <john_titor> hey whats the register command on IRC???? :D:D:D
[11:49] <jrib> Calus: did you ever set one?
[11:49] <jrib> !register > john_titor (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:49] <Bulazeem> hi, i had some trouble with my computer saying i had no screen selected.   i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg when i started up ubuntu on a black screen and i got back to my desktop after putting the video driver as vesa.  i then tried to reinstall my nvidia drivers with sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new and then restarted the computer and had the same problem again.  how do i get it off of vesa without breaking it?  :(
[11:49] <john_titor> THX!
[11:49] <jrib> blix_: depends on the filesystem
[11:49] <Lucios> !root
[11:50] <blix_> jrib...mmm
[11:50] <ubotu> 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
[11:50] <blix_> lol
[11:50] <Awsoonn> can anyone point me to som info on dail-up connections?
[11:50] <blix_> Im a dumbass
[11:50] <Kousotu> ubotu lies!
[11:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lies! - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:50] <Kousotu> lol
[11:50] <blix_> I had the USB physicaly locked
[11:50] <cappiz> someone knows of an mailinglist application with a webinterface? which allows you to add users/groups and allow users to subscribe/unsubscribe?
[11:50] <blix_> I'll have to umount it
[11:50] <blix_> one sec
[11:50] <Kousotu> blix_: yes, you are a dumbass, but we won't get into that
[11:50] <Kousotu> lol
[11:50] <jrib> !dialup > Awsoonn (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:51] <mjancaitis> bulazeem - you'll likely have to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf in a terminal window (log into recovery mode to do it) and look for the line that says "VESA" and change it to "nv" without quotes
[11:51] <blix_> lol
[11:51] <blix_> thanx!
[11:51] <McBagpipe89> would anyone be able to walk me through uninstalling compiz fusion?
[11:51] <mjancaitis> But backup the first one, naturally
[11:51] <Kousotu> yw
[11:51] <Bulazeem> mjancaitis: ok i think thats what the problem was.  i set the vesa part to nvidia instead of nv.
[11:51] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: are you there?
[11:52] <Kousotu> I could bruteforce the root password, but I doubt it's the same for every Ubuntu instilation
[11:52] <Kousotu> lol
[11:52] <McBagpipe89> I'm new to ubuntu, and installed compiz fusion, but in doing so i cause several problems.  would uninstalling it fix those?
[11:53] <McBagpipe89> *caused
[11:53] <PriceChild> McBagpipe89, see #ubuntu-effects
[11:53] <McBagpipe89> thanks
[11:53] <Kousotu> McBagpipe89: just set to normal
[11:53] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: yes
[11:53] <blix_> why can't I mount or umount a drive
[11:53] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: did you get any od that nvidia-settings stuff?
[11:53] <blix_> I know it's mounted
[11:53] <blix_> but can't umount it
[11:53] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: sorry i just did not know if it was still letting me pric msg u
[11:53] <rapid> blix_, remore anything thats sitting in the directory.
[11:53] <blix_> mount: can't find /media/sbd1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[11:53] <Kousotu> blix_: what file system?
[11:53] <blix_> none
[11:53] <rapid> blix_, or using the mounted path
[11:53] <blix_> oh
[11:54] <lgc_> What ever happened to gtik2 on Feisty? Why isn't it available among the panel applets? Anyone?
[11:54] <blix_> it's FAT16
[11:54] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: it pulled up the nvidia-setting screen but not sure what to do with it to increase q3 perofmance?
[11:54] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: I have not received any private messages from you
[11:54] <Kousotu> hm..
[11:54] <tuna-fish> hmmm
[11:54] <Kousotu> fat16 and linux is causing trouble lol
[11:54] <airstrike> my music is stuttering..
[11:54] <blix_> it is
[11:54] <Kousotu> ok,do this..
[11:54] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: what graphics card do you have?
[11:54] <airstrike> everytime i listen to music, things seem to get slower
[11:54] <airstrike> why is that?
[11:54] <blix_> let me just close all relevant eindows
[11:54] <Kousotu> find the "Mounted" USB
[11:54] <blix_> windows
[11:54] <blix_> k
[11:54] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: GeForce 2 MX440 64mB ram
[11:55] <Kousotu> rightclick and say unmount
[11:55] <blix_> k
[11:55] <blix_> sec
[11:55] <Kousotu> it should disappear
[11:55] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: I have been scouring forums and different sites for help but to no avail....
[11:55] <cdm10> Why do the default permissions on home folders in Ubuntu allow other users to access files in it?
[11:55] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: have all antialiasing and filtering turned off. othe than that, it's really not going to be very fast...
[11:56] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: why would it work great in win32?
[11:56] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: That is a very old card
[11:56] <tuna-fish> hmm
[11:56] <whitespace> hey ive got an old dell latitude c600, p3 800mhz, 128mb ram, do you think i could install the latest ubuntu, then have fluxbox installed on top for a windows manager?
[11:56] <tonsofpcs> how can I recover a WEP key for a network that isn't in range?  I know if I connect to a network, I can iwconfig and see it, but I'm not at the site where the router is and the end user forgot the wep key....
[11:56] <MrCollins> tuna-fish: im an old pc tech of 12 years yeah its old... just messing with linux again....
[11:56] <lgc_> What ever happened to gtik2 on Feisty? Why isn't it available among the panel applets? How can I add it to the panel?
[11:56] <tuna-fish> MrCollins: I think you can blame the horrible driver support nvidia has for the older models in linux
[11:56] <Bieleke> guys
[11:57] <Bieleke> i'just upgraded to the fifth beta of ubuntu
[11:57] <rapid> nvidia is heaven in linux compared to ati
[11:57] <Bieleke> and hence the new nvidia drivers are in there
[11:57] <cosmodad> whitespace: should be feasible
[11:57] <MrCollins> oh?
[11:57] <Bieleke> but now x complains about missing module wfb
[11:57] <Bieleke> any cluess ?
[11:58] <anevilgerbal2> hello i have a netgear wg111v2 and need help connecting to the internet i have ubuntu 7.04 alternative intalled
[11:58] <cosmodad> tonsofpcs: ask someone to re-login to the router and reset the key
[11:58] <t4m1n0> How can I start AWN manager?? when I click on a icon nothing happens :S
[11:58] <whitespace> thx cosmodad
[11:58] <tonsofpcs> cosmodad: they can't
[11:58] <tonsofpcs> and resetting it will cause all sorts of collisions
[11:58] <cosmodad> tonsofpcs: why not?
[11:59] <tonsofpcs> cosmodad: because the person who set the password didn't write it down and didn't remember it
[11:59] <tonsofpcs> and of course, they lost the paper where all of the configs are written down....
[11:59] <Chorus> anyone tried ubuntu-gutsy.zul-kernel?
[11:59] <cosmodad> tonsofpcs: but you do?
[11:59] <Bieleke> nobody for wfb ?
[11:59] <Bieleke> module and libwfb which package ?
[12:00] <t4m1n0> how can I start AWN manager ??? I wanna to have a nice aye candy like here: http://code.google.com/p/avant-window-navigator/
[12:00] <cosmodad> Bieleke: packages.ubuntu.com
[12:00] <tonsofpcs> cosmodad: but I do what?
[12:00] <cosmodad> tonsofpcs: know the password
[12:00] <tonsofpcs> no
[12:00] <Kurup> Hello..have a problem with installation. am trying to install flightgear
[12:00] <tonsofpcs> I have the WEP key stored on my machine, but I'm no where physically close enough to connect
[12:00] <cosmodad> tonsofpcs: so you wanna run a router whose password nobody knows?
[12:00] <tonsofpcs> cosmodad: I want to find the WEP key that is stored on my machine
[12:01] <cosmodad> tonsofpcs: aah, ok
[12:01] <tonsofpcs> I know when I connect to it, I can iwconfig to see the key
[12:01] <tonsofpcs> but I can't connect to it from here
[12:01] <Bieleke> cosmodad: well the name is enough :-)
[12:01] <Bieleke> then i can apt-get :-)
[12:01] <cosmodad> tonsofpcs: sudo iwlist <wlan device> key
[12:01] <Kurup> the app keeps crashing due to  error by freeglut. apparently there is a problem with the newer version
[12:01] <cosmodad> tonsofpcs: that should do it
[12:01] <cosmodad> Bieleke: I'm not gonna search for you...
[12:02] <Kurup> my question is i have already installed the old freeglut library. how do i tell apt-get to only install flightgear..and not the newer freeglut?
[12:02] <Bieleke> cosmodad: no need to, cause it isn't there
