[12:04] <CaptainFrisbee> eamonnd, _tux, you can also use the Gnome log viewer in System->Administration
[12:04] <_tux> CaptainFrisbee: thanks that seem to help more
[12:05] <_tux> seeing as you use a GUI instead of a terminal
[12:05] <debugme> does anyone have acpi_cpufreq module loaded w/ feisty and a core 2 duo?
[12:05] <eamonnd> tux: so now that I'm in system log, do I search for "error"
[12:05] <_tux> eamonnd: you could try what CaptainFrisbee suggested
[12:05] <_tux> System >> Administration >> System Log
[12:06] <eamonnd> tux: okay I'm there
[12:06] <idefixs> eamonnd: searching for error is a good start
[12:07] <copyofjohan> hey, did anyone try gutsy herd5? and could tell me his impressions?
[12:07] <_tux> eamonnd: inside the terminal with the logs showing or in the system log where you click on system >> adminstration >> system log?
[12:07] <eamonnd> idefixs: I clicked on "error_log" and the only error that was listed read "creating missing directory "/var/run/cups/certs"
[12:07] <colourAgga> guys
[12:07] <milan_> it seems gutsy has compiz fusion standard enabled
[12:07] <eamonnd> tux: system>>administrations>>system log
[12:07] <colourAgga> is there some kind of 'automatic wallpaper switcher' readily available?
[12:08] <idefixs> eamonnd: search for the word error in sys.log
[12:08] <_tux> eamonnd: there is more than one log file too
[12:08] <eamonnd> idefixs: okay, so use "crtl f"
[12:08] <idefixs> or kern.log
[12:08] <_tux> daemon.log = shows the list of processes
[12:08] <ossurayynot> colourAgga, there is an add-on someone wrote for gnome that will switch your wallpaper every n time, like a slideshow.  However, I can't remember the name, and it is not in the repos.
[12:09] <colourAgga> mmm i'll look for source then
[12:09] <_tux> kern.log = shows you what errors occured in the kernel
[12:09] <gnomefreak> daemon.log is from networking only
[12:09] <mon^rch> !nvu
[12:09] <ubotu> nvu is a WYSIWYG and code dual-function HTML editor for easily creating web pages.  The original developer is working on a full rewrite; meanwhile, another is doing bugfixes.  It is not in the Ubuntu repos for Feisty Fawn, but add your name to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WaitingForNvuFeisty to be notified when packages are available.  See also !html.
[12:09] <colourAgga> because i find myself dl'ing way to much wallpapers from interfacelift
[12:09] <eamonnd> idefixs: I ran "ctrl F" in "syslog" and the error that came up was "Firmware error detected. Restarting"
[12:09] <cerneula> hello
[12:09] <cerneula> I have a main hard disc with ubuntu 7.04 and second hard disc with data, NTFS. I also have installed NTFS Configuration Tool
[12:09] <cerneula> When I access the second hard drive the system asks for a password. Than I can read all files in it. Howevt
[12:09] <colourAgga> and no time to see :(
[12:09] <ossurayynot> mon^rch, anticipate it within the week.
[12:09] <_tux> interesting
[12:09] <gnomefreak> ossurayynot: i guess we can change that?
[12:09] <mon^rch> sweet
[12:09] <daveb> hi. say I have amd64 (ok i do) and I want to dl a 32bit package since I have 32 bit libs. from some repository. is there a way to tell it to check i686 instead ?
[12:09] <medfly> how do i debug some program?
[12:09] <ossurayynot> gnomefreak, Not until I get it on my PPA ;)
[12:09] <blerk> hello, is it possible todo some sort of custom installation from the shipit ubuntu disks? ive jsut booted of one and want to choose which packages get installed
[12:09] <daveb> Failed to fetch http://ftp.squeak.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404 Not Found
[12:10] <gnomefreak> ossurayynot: right :)
[12:10] <milan_> cernuela: you still cant write NTFS after following that howto?
[12:10] <cerneula> Sorry, however I cannot delete, rename, create, etc files, directories. ANybody can help? Thank you
[12:10] <daveb> ie: can I change the line is sources.lst to make it check 9686 instead of amd-64
[12:10] <Enul> i really hate to bug you guys for such a trivial thing but does anyone know where i can get some good themes for ubuntu?
[12:10] <eamonnd> idefixs: it says "ipw2200" infront of it too
[12:10] <cerneula> yes milan, I don't know what the problem is
[12:10] <idefixs> eamonnd: check if this is related to the piece of hardware you are concerned with.
[12:10] <gnomefreak> daveb: not a good idea to mix debian and ubuntu packages
[12:10] <daveb> gnomefreak: really
[12:10] <medfly> cerneula, you gotta have rights to do it, ls -l filename
[12:10] <daveb> ok
[12:10] <mossblaser> Hello all, I have discovered that for some reason samba shares do not maintain permissions properly when mounted (when browsed in gnome they do maintain correct permissions). It appears to try to do this - on the server a file is owned by user with the ID 1001, on the client, when mounted it is still owned by the user 1001 however this is user 1001 on my local system which means it is essentaily owned by someone else.
[12:10] <mossblaser> Could anyone suggest a way of correcting this issue?
[12:10] <eamonnd> idefixs: how do I do that?
[12:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Enul: gnome-look.org
[12:10] <idefixs> eamonnd: i used to have a problem with the ipw2200 as well.
[12:11] <Enul> thanks jack
[12:11] <gnomefreak> daveb: yes most of the time the depends are differnet and will cause an unstable system
[12:11] <cerneula> ok, I'm gonna check that
[12:11] <daveb> gnomefreak: thanks
[12:11] <gnomefreak> yw
[12:11] <milan_> cernuela: go to System Tools
[12:11] <milan_> cernuela: oh you are already being helped
[12:11] <rdvon> I have a problem with viewing my files on a removable flash drive...
[12:11] <eamonnd> idefixs: I also found "Buffer I/O error on devie sr0, logical block 3809531"
[12:11] <idefixs> eamonnd: ipw2200 is a wireless network driver. are you having problems with wlan?
[12:11] <daveb> ok looks like I am compiling!
[12:11] <rdvon> I use it for my phone (it's a micro sd card)
[12:11] <CaptainFrisbee> medfly, google for gdb (gnu debugger)
[12:11] <rdvon> but it doesnt seem to show it on my desktop
[12:12] <John> hey hey
[12:12] <colourAgga> oh yeah, does XChat-Gnome have support for multiple servers?
[12:12] <John> i made a new user in the terminal, but it seems that user can't log in through slim
[12:12] <eamonnd> idefixs: I could be, I am connected to the internet whenever my computer crashes, I might have been wrongly blaming the problem on my sound. I don't know for sure though
[12:12] <John> is there something else i'm ment to do so that user can log in?
[12:13] <rdvon> Does anyone know how to get a usb flash drive to mount in ubuntu? It won't show on my desktop or in places>computer.
[12:13] <demonspork> John, how did you make the user account?
[12:13] <crazy6> how do I add a repo to my list? I have just a line I need to insert into a file, but which file?
[12:13] <takamarou> hi, i just got my ubuntu running, and im trying to get on this IRC through gaim.  I have the server correct.... and i dont have any screen name or password, but its not letting me log in
[12:13] <_tux> rdvon: seems you'll have to mount the drive manually
[12:13] <rdvon> _tux: how?
[12:13] <Jack_Sparrow> rdvon: they should automount, but if you remove it without ejecting/unmounting it.. you can have that sort of problem.
[12:13] <ossurayynot> rdvon, normally they automount, but you can check if it's recognized at all by looking for something named along the liness of /dev/sdb1
[12:13] <mossblaser> crazy6 - /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:14] <John> demonspork: useradd -G wheel,users,blahblah john
[12:14] <eamonnd> idefixs: you still there? how do I find out whether this is the problem?
[12:14] <kiteflyer07> Greetings.  I am looking for assistance with proper resolv.conf population when connecting to VPN via NetworkManager.  I get proper DNS entries, but no search <domain> statement is added and must be added manually.  Thank you.
[12:14] <demonspork> crazy7, go into "System > Administration > Software sources   and click on "3rd party software" and click add, then put the line in there
[12:14] <John> then passwd john blah
[12:14] <crazy6> demonspork: well, kubuntu, so no gnome
[12:14] <rdvon> Jack_sparrow: I have a problem with windows where the usb flash drive won't detect when.. I think My back usb ports are only usb 1.0
[12:14] <idefixs> rdvon:  switch to console (CTRL-ALT-F1), plug in the device and check if there is any message popping up
[12:14] <demonspork> ahh
[12:14] <crazy6> is there a way to make the URl bad in konqeror larger? the text is too small me for and I have brain problems
[12:14] <_tux> rdvon: using the mount command with an option and a few arugements
[12:14] <crazy6> *url bar
[12:14] <John> i type the username and pass, hit enter, and it says "Failed to execute login command"
[12:14] <demonspork> crazy6, the software sources app is still there
[12:14] <_tux> can't be to sure on how to do it though
[12:15] <idefixs> eamonnd: sorry, lagging
[12:15] <rdvon> _tux: where would my flash drive be located?
[12:15] <eamonnd> idefixs: okay that's fine. I was just making sure you were there
[12:15] <blerk> so no way todo a custom eg. select packages install with ubuntu?
[12:15] <cerneula> this is an example of what I get
[12:15] <cerneula> -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 732596224 Oct 31  2005 CLOS.avi
[12:15] <tapio> How is the support for fingerprint scanners in gnome/linux?
[12:15] <_tux> rdvon: it will be located in Computer
[12:16] <_tux> rdvon: type: "man mount" inside a terminal without the quotes it should give you a list of options on how to use it
[12:16] <ossurayynot> blerk, not directly off of the CD, but there are various ways to add on a certain set.  For one option, see !cloning
[12:16] <Jack_Sparrow> rdvon: You can try the diskmounter script.. wget http://media.ubuntu-nl.org/scripts/diskmounter  or try to do it manually..
[12:16] <Jack_Sparrow> rdvon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions   is the link with more info
[12:16] <milan_> cernuela: try opening the disk as root, it may be a permission problem
[12:16] <rdvon> I know linux isn't windows, but in windows I've always gotten it to work by refreshing the back usb ports..
[12:16] <idefixs> eamonnd: which soundcard are you using?
[12:16] <cerneula> how can I do that?
[12:17] <milan_> cernuela: go to your terminal
[12:17] <eamonnd> idefixs: it's an Intel ICH4
[12:17] <davina> night night time for beauty sleep :)
[12:17] <crazy6> what a pita; I am trying to install tinyos toolchain, and they set up a repo and everything, except the compile depends on "msp430tools-gcc", but the package is actually called "msp430tools-gcc-tinyos" ....
[12:17] <takamarou> hi, im completely new to ubuntu.. im running on a VM right now.. im trying to set up my VM with the internet.. how do i connect to my wireless?
[12:17] <milan_> cernuela: do you know where your disk is mounted?
[12:17] <crazy6> one slight difference in the name and it's totally buggared
[12:17] <CaptainFrisbee> rdvon, Check System->Preferences->Removable Media and make sure the Mount options are checked
[12:17] <cerneula> yes
[12:17] <_tux> rdvon: the Linux kernel is completely different whereas Windows has much more hardware support than Linux
[12:17] <idefixs> eamonnd: have you tried disabling the sound card in BIOS?
[12:17] <milan_> cernuela: tell me
[12:17] <Jack_Sparrow> rdvon: You can open nautilus and click on reload..
[12:18] <rdvon> Thanks jack_sparrow
[12:18] <cerneula> /media/SCSI0_VOL1
[12:18] <colourAgga> i love my current desktop :)
[12:18] <milan_> cernuela: ok... thats kind of a strange name
[12:18] <milan_> cernuela: but well try
[12:18] <eamonnd> idefixs: no, I don't know how to do that, and then if I did wouldn't I not have sound anymore?
[12:18] <kitche> takamarou, hmm not sure if vmware can use wireless not usre sicne I never see an option for it
[12:18] <titanix88_> _tux: u know nothing.windows has much much less hardware support.
[12:19] <milan_> cernuela: type "sudo mkdir /media/SCSI0_VOL1/Hello" (without quotes)
[12:19] <idefixs> eamonnd: look into #eamonnd, to much traffic in here
[12:19] <_tux> titanix88: I wouldn't agree with that
[12:19] <takamarou> kitche, well, can u at least tell me how i would do it if i wasnt using VM?  i just wanna know how if i ever switch to all ubuntu
[12:19] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i restore the xorg.conf file?
[12:19] <Azhi_Dahaka> i botched it and now, i can't see anything
[12:19] <kitche> takamarou, what is your wirelss card?
[12:19] <eamonnd> idefixs: okay I'm there
[12:19] <milan_> cernuela: tell me if you get any errors
[12:19] <scrip> azhi_dahka: dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server
[12:19] <takamarou> kitche, hold on one second.. its like md-1500... i know it worked for my brother before..
[12:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Azhi_Dahaka: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:20] <Azhi_Dahaka> WHERE
[12:20] <Azhi_Dahaka> i can't see anything
[12:20] <cerneula> mkdir: cannot create directory `hola': Read-only file system
[12:20] <scrip> azhi_dahaka: yeah, what he said, sorry bout that
[12:20] <rdvon> Jack_sparrow, How  can I refresh my usb ports in ubuntu?
[12:20] <cerneula> this is the response
[12:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Azhi_Dahaka: Hit esc when you boot up and go to recovery mode
[12:20] <milan_> cernuela: ok
[12:20] <kitche> Azhi_Dahaka, in a console ctrl+alt+fX where x is 1-6
[12:20] <takamarou> kitche, its a mn-150.... made by microsoft, but my brother had it working on his linux box upstairs before
[12:20] <t4m1n0> How can I set GRUB time to 3 seconds? now I have to wait automatically 8 seconds untill linux starts .. ??
[12:20] <cerneula> mkdir: cannot create directory `hola': Read-only file system
[12:21] <jimy> hola
[12:21] <Jack_Sparrow> rdvon: The only thing I can think to try is reload in nautilus
[12:21] <jrib> t4m1n0: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:21] <milan_> cernuela: theres an NTFS config tool in ubuntu
[12:21] <kitche> takamarou, microsoft doesn't make wireless cards, but mn-150 seems to be a ethernet switch
[12:21] <cerneula> so even introducing the password I cannot write the drive, but I can read it
[12:21] <rdvon> Jack_sparrow, I'll try it..
[12:21] <_tux> titanix88: the Linux kernel may have better hardware support for older hardware but modern hardware its completely different
[12:21] <Enul> what is compiz and beryl?
[12:21] <milan_> cernuela: and i forgot where to find it :D
[12:22] <takamarou> kitche, well.. it says microsoft on it... all i know is it worked for my brother, and im connected to wireless on my windows right now
[12:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Enul: Eye candy
[12:22] <Evanlec> !compiz | Enul
[12:22] <ubotu> Enul: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[12:22] <Enul> thank you
[12:22] <kitche> takamarou, they do though make switches and such which mn-150 is it's a switch not a wireless card/chipset
[12:22] <milan_> cernuela: type "sudo aptitude install ntfs-config" (w/o quotes)
[12:22] <takamarou> kitche, but im connected to the internet through it right now....
[12:23] <rdvon> Is there any linux equivalent to the windows device manager?
[12:23] <kitche> takamarou, yes switches are not OS dependent so it will work on any OS
[12:23] <taime1> can ubuntu be installed to an imac?
[12:23] <cerneula> done
[12:23] <kitche> rdvon, hal-device-manager maybe?
[12:23] <takamarou> kitche, so..then what do i do? im a complete newbie
[12:23] <rdvon> kitche: I'll try
[12:23] <_tux> rdvon: click system >> hardware information to reach the device manager
[12:23] <milan_> taimel: yes :D
[12:23] <_tux> click system >> preferences >> hardware information*
[12:24] <milan_> taimel: at least on the G4/G5 systems, intel macs i dont know
[12:24] <taime1> milan_: is it the ppc image? cuz it only lists g3, 4, 5, and so on
[12:24] <taime1> okay
[12:24] <rdvon> exactly what I want kitche! thanks
[12:24] <milan_> taimel: depends on your processor
[12:24] <serenityUK> Charlote,    are you ok?
[12:24] <milan_> taimel: do you have an intel mac or ppc mac?
[12:24] <milan_> cernuela: are you still there?
[12:24] <taime1> milan_: its a firends' and i really dont know... i just know its an imac
[12:25] <cerneula> yes
[12:25] <milan_> taimel: they both need other discs...
[12:25] <tdneVmo> Hello?
[12:25] <milan_> cernuela: sudo aptitude install ntfs-config
[12:25] <milan_> Hey!
[12:25] <cerneula> I already installed it
[12:26] <kitche> takamarou, you just need to setup ethernet but you keep sayign wireless which I still need to know
[12:26] <milan_> cernuela then type ntfs-config
[12:26] <rdvon> Kitche: anyway to refresh the usb port in the device manager?
[12:26] <tdneVmo> im installing the new ubuntu.. i have just made the moint point "/" on a partition, but when i did, it splittet it, so the partition is 600 MB and i have 15000 free space? (And i have a swap on 2,5 gb)
[12:27] <milan_> cernuela: then make sure enable write support is checked
[12:27] <takamarou> kitche, im not using an ethernet cord right now, im using the mn-150 thing.  it looks like a wireless receiver, it smells like a wireless receiver, and it sure gets me wireless like a wireless receiver...
[12:27] <kitche> takamarou, mn-150 is just a switch not your card
[12:27] <cerneula> ok I did so, and I get the same program I installed with synaptic, the one you told me about previously
[12:27] <kitche> takamarou, if you don't know what your card is then I suggest you find out
[12:27] <takamarou> kitche, yes i got that.. i dont know what a switch is.. but it seems to be doing fine...      im not running on a laptop, if thats what u think?
[12:27] <MilitantPotato> I just compiled pidgen and ran make && make install, it went about it's buisness but it's not installed in /usr/local/bin, if I run it from the source folder I extracted it opens, where'd I go wrong?
[12:28] <MilitantPotato> pidgin*
[12:28] <milan_> cernuela: oh, but did is it checked now?
[12:28] <Jack_Sparrow> takamarou: The switch can be connected to a wireless device that you are picking up..
[12:28] <cerneula> yes, it is
[12:28] <chickenF> hi, how do I set a default login user in gdm?
[12:28] <takamarou> jack_sparrow, ok, then how do i find out what my wireless card is, then?
[12:28] <IndyGunFreak> MilitantPotato: try typing pidgin when you're not in the source folder.
[12:28] <fsckr> MilitantPotato, you can find a .deb for it its out there
[12:28] <milan_> cernuela: and you still cant read/write?
[12:28] <MetCom> hey
[12:28] <Jack_Sparrow> takamarou: lspci
[12:28] <cerneula> one second
[12:28] <kitche> takamarou, sigh the big box that your keep calling wireless card is not a wireless card it's a switch the card is inside your computer you can find it by going to the device manager and networking
[12:28] <luckbox> If there are any people open to help me out, PM me.
[12:28] <MilitantPotato> make && make install
[12:28] <MilitantPotato> crap
[12:29] <Evanlec> milan_: Im thinking he needs to unmount and remount?
[12:29] <cerneula> no, I can't
[12:29] <MilitantPotato> bash: pidgin: command not found
[12:29] <fsckr> MilitantPotato, also there is a pidgin channel #pidgin
[12:29] <Jack_Sparrow> luckbox: Ask your question in the channel to get help
[12:29] <IndyGunFreak> MilitantPotato: then it didn't install.
[12:29] <luckbox> If there are any people open to help me out, PM me.
[12:29] <luckbox> Ok
[12:29] <milan_> Evanlec: doesnt ntfs-config does that automatically?
[12:29] <MilitantPotato> ok
[12:29] <MetCom> after i installed updates to feisty, i can no longer open alsamixer or get sound from my speakers, any ideas?
[12:29] <cerneula> I can read as usual, but I can't write
[12:29] <Evanlec> milan_: I just ran it and i didnt say any drives re-mounting
[12:29] <milan_> Evanlec, can you help cernuela further, i have to go
[12:29] <ossurayynot>  how to make apt-get automatically install Recommends?  (like the aptitude default behavior)
[12:29] <BeN_10> i used envy and install my driver. Now it will freeze on booting screen. how do i change it to default?
[12:30] <_tux> rdvon: you could try this http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11637.html to mount your usb drive in Linux
[12:30] <Evanlec> milan_ : I can try ;p
[12:30] <cerneula> thanks a lot milan
[12:30] <IndyGunFreak> MilitantPotato: http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/35723/   copy paste those two lines into a terminal, 1 at a time hitting enter after each one
[12:30] <MilitantPotato> IndyGunFreak: doing it now, ty
[12:30] <milan_> cernuela evanlec will help you further, and the others of the great community
[12:30] <IndyGunFreak> np
[12:30] <CaptainFrisbee> MetCom, what brand of audio hardware do you have?
[12:30] <cathper> If I use preseed and have "d-i preseed/run string foo.sh", what are foo.sh supposed to look like?
[12:30] <Jack_Sparrow> BeN_10: Bad bad.. using envy.... that does really horrible things to your computers setup
[12:30] <luckbox> First time installing Ubuntu, got the ISO, burned the CD, booted from CD. Everything works fine, i choose the try or intsall ubuntu selection, it gives me the loading screen of ubuntu, then a bunch of commands run down my screen, and i get either an access denied error, or a "user not known to underlying identification module" (i AM an administrator)
[12:30] <takamarou> kitch, ok.. im in my device manager looking at networking adapters.. ive got to.. INtel PRO\100 VE Network Connection #2     and     Microsoft Broadband Networking Wireless USB Adapter #
[12:30] <cerneula> bye and thanjs a lot , hello evanlec
[12:30] <MetCom> realtek hd, i believe it is an ati chipset though
[12:31] <Evanlec> hi
[12:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy > BeN_10
[12:31] <milan_> BeN_10: Envy is not supported...
[12:31] <kitche> takamarou, ok hmm the usb adapters can be hard on linux depends on what they run for a chipset
[12:31] <_tux> hey! Evanlec
[12:31] <cathper> If it contains just "#!/bin/sh \n apt-install zsh" it b0rks.
[12:31] <milan_> BeN_10: it usually ruins your installation :)
[12:31] <takamarou> alright
[12:31] <kiteflyer> Greetings.  I am looking for assistance with proper resolv.conf population when connecting to VPN via NetworkManager.  I get proper DNS entries, but no search <domain> statement is added and must be added manually for it to work properly.
[12:31] <Evanlec> hi!
[12:31] <cerneula> evalec: any ideas?
[12:31] <Evanlec> cerneula: i'm thinking unmount the drive, then re-mount it

[12:32] <Cray> Anyone a Chemist by any chance in here?
[12:32] <ahmed_> hiiiii
[12:32] <luckbox> First time installing Ubuntu, got the ISO, burned the CD, booted from CD. Everything works fine, i choose the try or intsall ubuntu selection, it gives me the loading screen of ubuntu, then a bunch of commands run down my screen, and i get either an access denied error, or a "user not known to underlying identification module" (i AM an administrator)
[12:32] <Jack_Sparrow> BeN_10: Reinstall
[12:32] <Oriez> its stuck in the middle, it used to work
[12:32] <Cray> chemist or ubuntu xpert ;)
[12:32] <Cray> either will do!!
[12:32] <takamarou> kitch, so what do u suggest i do?
[12:32] <MetCom> envy messed up my computer also, i got rid of it manualy installed the drivers
[12:32] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: what prob are you having now?
[12:32] <luckbox> any ideas?
[12:33] <BeN_10> jack_sparrow:reinstall what?
[12:33] <Jack_Sparrow> BeN_10: Ubuntu
[12:33] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak: lol trying to get write access to ntfs drive
[12:33] <cerneula> its says it cannot unmount the drive because an application is preventing it from doing so
[12:33] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: hmm, even i was able to do that..lol
[12:33] <ahmed_> hii
[12:33] <IndyGunFreak> well wait, i may not have write, but i have read
[12:33] <lynucs> anyone can tell me where i can read which options i can pass over from transode (via -F) directly to xvid encoding-module??
[12:33] <IndyGunFreak> but i don't need read
[12:33] <Jack_Sparrow> BeN_10: Or restore from a backup of your system
[12:33] <luckbox> No ones has an answer for me?
[12:33] <BeN_10> jack_sparrow:tell me how i can change my xong.conf to defult.
[12:33] <IndyGunFreak> !ntfs | Evanlec

[12:33] <Cray> I`m a Chemistry teacher, spent hours and hours setting up a dual boot on my system so I can run KDE Kalzium, I have no net connection and so can`t install it! Any help welcome/..
[12:34] <oxygenws> luckbox: whats ur question?
[12:34] <warbler> luckbox: the live cd has a user - ubuntu - to automatically sign in - did you do something extra?
[12:34] <takamarou> kitche, u still there?
[12:34] <Jack_Sparrow> BeN_10: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-sorg   but the damage is already done beyond that..

[12:35] <Jack_Sparrow> luckbox: is this single boot dual boot, raid we need more info to help you
[12:35] <Evanlec> !ntfs-3g
[12:35] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[12:35] <pike_> Cray: you have no internet account and need to transfer packages manually or you cant get network connection up
[12:35] <lynucs> Cray, time to teach a teacher :D
[12:35] <warbler> luckbox: put in cd - boot - only click the option to try & install
[12:35] <radu> /nick dutzu
[12:35] <lynucs> Cray, just kidding
[12:35] <Cray> yes!!
[12:35] <Random832> how do i change what font is "sans-serif"?
[12:35] <Cray> no please teach me!
[12:35] <oxygenws> luckbox: which version do you used?
[12:35] <Random832> etc
[12:35] <luckbox> jack_sparrow: I'm setting up a dual boot between windows xp and Ubuntu
[12:35] <tdneVmo> It enough with a "/" partition and a swap partition right?
[12:36] <LinAsH> Cray, you should download the package and install it manually
[12:36] <osxdude|desktop> It seems that vncviewer can't find the VNC host...how can I fix this
[12:36] <elite101> HOW DO YOU MAKE A LIVECD?
[12:36] <Cray> lol, I`ve spent hours learning how to install the dual boot
[12:36] <osxdude|desktop> burn it
[12:36] <luckbox> jack_sparrow: going to install on seperate partitions
[12:36] <Cray> i dont think the software has a fat installer!
[12:36] <BeN_10> jack_sparrow:this command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-sorg" put the old files back?
[12:36] <lynucs> Cray, well i'm really sorry, but i have to do my stuff first ;)
[12:36] <Cray> please pm me if u can help, so many messages flying around! I won`t keep you just need some advice!
[12:36] <luckbox> oxygenws: 7.04 feisty fawn
[12:36] <velko> Cray, you can download the packages, copy them to the directory /var/cache/apt/archive and then proceed to install them via synaptic/apt-get/aptitude whatever
[12:36] <lynucs> anyway, i wish you good luck :P
[12:36] <elite101> How do you make a livecd?
[12:36] <pike_> osxdude|desktop: youre on same lan?
[12:36] <Azhi_Dahaka> how do i enter the recovery mode on ubuntu?
[12:37] <osxdude|desktop> pike_: Yes.
[12:37] <IndyGunFreak> elite101: download the iso, and burn it to the disk as an image
[12:37] <elite101> omg
[12:37] <pike_> Azhi_Dahaka: reboot and hit esc key when prompted for the full grub menu
[12:37] <elite101> im not that dumb
[12:37] <Jack_Sparrow> luckbox:  Yes, it needs to be on sep p[artitions but are you not getting to the live cd desktop where you have an icon for install as well as other options
[12:37] <Cray> velko... where do I d/l the packages?
[12:37] <elite101> How do you make your own livecd
[12:37] <IndyGunFreak> elite101: well then you need to be more specific.
[12:37] <cathper> No preseed users?
[12:37] <luckbox> jack_sparrow: correct
[12:37] <oxygenws> luckbox: sorry :) never faced with something!
[12:37] <pike_> osxdude|desktop: running a firewall?
[12:37] <Azhi_Dahaka> and then?
[12:37] <IndyGunFreak> well thats not what you asked.
[12:37] <velko> Cray, on the machine you type right now
[12:37] <cerneula> evanlec?
[12:37] <elite101> urghh no one knows how? i got sent to three diffrent Channels
[12:37] <luckbox> jack_sparrow: i cant get to the screen
[12:37] <pike_> osxdude|desktop: sudo iptables -L <-- on server machine
[12:37] <williammanda_>  i need help in getting a vizio monitor working with a nvidia 7300 le.....xorg.conf http://paste.stgraber.org/3208.....xorg log http://paste.stgraber.org/3207
[12:37] <takamarou> ok, so im trying to connect to a wireless connection right now.  I determined that i have  USB wireless card which are "difficult" with linux.  Does anyone have some instructions on what i should do to make this work?
[12:37] <osxdude|desktop> pike_, not on the computers
[12:37] <Cray> no no, i mean where from on the net!??
[12:37] <velko> Cray, you can download them from packages.ubuntu.com
[12:37] <Evanlec> cerneula hi, ask IndyGunFreak lol, i dont know either
[12:38] <osxdude|desktop> okay pike_
[12:38] <Cray> ahh right!
[12:38] <luckbox> jack_sparrow: just a message stating some form of acess denied
[12:38] <Cray> let me go look
[12:38] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: ?..lol
[12:38] <Evanlec> haha
[12:38] <cerneula> ok mate, thanks a lot
[12:38] <IndyGunFreak> cerneula: whats the prob?
[12:38] <Evanlec> ntfs write indy
[12:38] <Jack_Sparrow> luckbox: You may need the alt cd... but at the first screen you can hit F6 and try a few things like noapic   and see if that gets you in...
[12:38] <luckbox> brb.
[12:38] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: did you read those instructions?
[12:38] <cerneula> hello IndyGunFreak
[12:38] <MilitantPotato> IndyGunFreak: after some dependency and conflicting program issues it's working, thank you very much.
[12:38] <Cray> What am I actually looking for....please remember I`m a new user!!
[12:38] <Evanlec> yea, i installed ntfs-config
[12:38] <warbler> elite101: you go to ubuntu homepage - download - burn the image
[12:38] <Evanlec> and enabled write
[12:38] <IndyGunFreak> MilitantPotato: noprob.
[12:38] <Evanlec> but still no write
[12:38] <luckbox> jack_sparrow: noapic, ill ask you about when i get back
[12:39] <loquitus_of_borg> What is a good gui xml viewer that I can install for ubuntu from the synaptic package manager?
[12:39] <Jack_Sparrow> luckbox: there are many others too
[12:39] <loquitus_of_borg> one that is usually already in the source repositories...
[12:39] <luckbox> jack_sparrow: okay, brb
[12:39] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: hmm, i don't know... i ntfs is horribly neglected, so I 've never tried write access, hold on though, i will.
[12:39] <cerneula> I have an NTFS drive with data. The problem is I can read, but I cannot write. I have already installed NtFS config tool
[12:39] <Cray> :( :( :( help lol !!!
[12:39] <velko> Cray, you can type "kalzium" in the search box, select your installed distribution (feisty, dapper, ...) and find the package
[12:39] <Evanlec> kk
[12:39] <velko> Cray, hey i'm typing
[12:39] <pike_> osxdude|desktop: can you vnc to localhost?
[12:39] <Evanlec> brb
[12:40] <Cray> just typed kalzium in search and had no results!
[12:40] <velko> Cray, and if you want me to see your posts highlighted you have to include my nick in your posts
[12:40] <CaptainFrisbee> pike_, yes but watch out for infinite recursion :)
[12:40] <osxdude|laptop> pike_ yes I can
[12:40] <ToBe> hello

[12:41] <osxdude|laptop> pike_ no
[12:41] <warbler> !hello
[12:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hello - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:41] <velko> Cray, yes. look here http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=kalzium&searchon=names&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all
[12:41] <osxdude|laptop> both computers are Ubuntu, pike_
[12:41] <allen_> anyone here?
[12:41] <allen_> I installed KDE in ubuntu..how to activate KDE :-/
[12:41] <pike_> can you telnnet ipaddress 5901 from client machine?
[12:41] <pike_> telnet
[12:41] <warbler> !kde
[12:41] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu:  sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE) . Latest KDE version is 3.5.7 for Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org) for more information.
[12:41] <loquitus_of_borg> Anybody can suggest a good xml viewer for Ubuntu?
[12:41] <Jack_Sparrow> velko: HE may need to update and or add repos..
[12:41] <Paddy_EIRE> allen_, logout and choose kde in your sessions
[12:41] <serenityUK> allen_, when you are at the login screen  chooose  KDE from the session button
[12:41] <ossurayynot> allen_, log out and back in, selecting KDE from the Sessions menu of GDM
[12:41] <velko> Jack_Sparrow, this is possible
[12:42] <serenityUK> lol
[12:42] <allen_> woop
[12:42] <Azhi_Dahaka> is there a default xorg.conf that works all the time?
[12:42] <allen_> i didnt log out
[12:42] <allen_> thats my fault
[12:42] <allen_> brb
[12:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Azhi_Dahaka: no
[12:42] <Cray> velko: I have downloaded ubuntu 7.04 which do I need. I dont know what fiesty is?
[12:42] <velko> Cray, yes
[12:42] <serenityUK> hi Paddy_EIRE
[12:42] <velko> Cray, feisty is the code name for 7.04
[12:42] <Cray> velko: sorry bad grammer! Which of the two hits
[12:42] <osxdude|desktop> no pike_
[12:42] <Cray> velko: ahh right!
[12:43] <osxdude|desktop> I cannot pike_
[12:43] <Oriez> ubuntu doesn't loading up
[12:43] <Oriez> its stuck in the middle, it used to work
[12:43] <Cray> velko: so i need to d/l them both?
[12:43] <docente> que pex
[12:43] <velko> Cray, yes
[12:44] <Cray> velko: sorry i bet i`m pissing u off! I really haven`t a clue what i`m doing. Just clicked on one of the links and a huge huge list of stuff has come up .What do i need to d.l
[12:44] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: I thinkt he problem is the mount point.
[12:44] <IndyGunFreak> cuz i can't get it to work either..
[12:44] <velko> Cray, and all the dependencies for these packages. you can lookup the dependencies when you click on the package link
[12:44] <Evanlec> yea
[12:44] <Evanlec> i tink ur right, probably have to mount it special way with console
[12:44] <Evanlec> ooh
[12:44] <Joeb454> anybody feel like helping me compile pidgin? i don't have a clue how to do it
[12:45] <Evanlec> maybe not, i just rebooted, and i appear to have write acess
[12:45] <cerneula> so do I try and reboot?
[12:45] <Evanlec> bah, well have write access to my usb drive, but not my internal
[12:45] <velko> Cray, the colors for the packages represent the dependency type: red - this package should be installed in order for kalzium to be installed at all
[12:45] <xertux> creative
[12:46] <xertux> hi people i need something to know
[12:46] <velko> Cray, the green and the blue ones are optional. nice to have but not mandatory
[12:46] <Cray> velko: so here http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/science/kalzium I have to d/l any that are red!
[12:46] <Evanlec> internal = windows drive, usb = generic ntfs
[12:46] <benzss> does anybody here use Azureus?
[12:46] <Woosta> USB thumb drives are normally FAT
[12:46] <velko> Cray, yes. normally apt-get does it for you but you don't have connection on your linux machine
[12:46] <Evanlec> true
[12:47] <xertux> can anyone tell me the horizsync and vertrefresh numbers in xorg.conf?
[12:47] <Cray> ahh i see! so i have to d/l each individually
[12:47] <Evanlec> this is a usb hard-drive tho with an external encloser
[12:47] <velko> Cray, maybe it will be easier to get your network card to play
[12:47] <Woosta> ahh .. sorry
[12:47] <Cray> no no, i want to learn!
[12:47] <kitche> xertux, no one can tell you sicne it depedns on your monitor
[12:47] <Evanlec> *enclosure
[12:47] <Cray> plus it isn`t really an option
[12:47] <ghatak_mobile> Hi, is it possbile to set my system to shutdown automatically after a specified time, i used to have this functionality in windows, where if i am playing music then i can tell music program to shutdown system after a specified time or at the end of album. i am looking for something similar here in linux.
[12:47] <cerneula> ok, I'll try to reboot
[12:47] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: hm, well i'm trying to edit an internal.. my externals are all ext3, so linux sees them w/o issue.
[12:48] <Joeb454> how do you compile things (i.e. programs i've just d/l'd)
[12:48] <xertux> i know i have a 15" monitor so i cant switch higher resulations but my monitors supports
[12:48] <bulmer> ghatak_mobile: use cron to run your script to shutdown
[12:48] <Evanlec> oh
[12:48] <velko> Cray, the package itself can be found at the very bottom of the page (you have to pick the right processor architecture though - i386, ia64, ...)
[12:48] <ghatak_mobile> bulmer: now why i did not think of that
[12:48] <xertux> so i need a 17" monitor horizontal and vertical refresh numbers for xorg
[12:48] <Woosta> Joeb454: There's probably instructions .. but it will be soemthing like ./configure; make; make install
[12:48] <Evanlec> !ntfs
[12:48] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[12:48] <Evanlec> !ntfs-3g
[12:48] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[12:48] <Joeb454> woosta: there is, but i just don't get it :(
[12:48] <pike_> ghatak_mobile: shutdown -h <time>
[12:49] <Woosta> Joeb454: Don't 'get it'? What don't you get?
[12:49] <Joeb454> woosta: the instructions...i've never compiled anything before (pretty new to ubuntu)
[12:50] <xertux> so any 17" monitor user can tell me his refresh rates in xorg file?
[12:50] <Woosta> Well .. I can't help you if I don't know what it is about them that you don't get.
[12:50] <Woosta> What do they say that's confused you?
[12:50] <LucianIndy> xertux: i have a 17", let me check
[12:50] <LucianIndy> xertux: i forget, what directory is it in? the xorg.conf file that is
[12:50] <kitche> xertux, no one can tell you the rates it depends on your monitor
[12:50] <Woosta> You can't just use someone else's
[12:50] <Cray> velko: is there no way to d/l them all in one swoop?
[12:50] <xertux> LucianIndy: etc/X11
[12:51] <majorjrk> Any solution to the /bin/sh cant acces tty; job control turned off, that one get upon booting the cd for install, and then just a prompt with (initramfs) ?
[12:51] <kitche> xertux, Ubuntu should find your rates easily for your monitor if it's CRT
[12:51] <Woosta> You have to either use a P'n'P monitor, or get them correct for YOUR monitor
[12:51] <ghatak_mobile> pike_: thanks, you are a star
[12:51] <velko> Cray, yes. via the package manager
[12:51] <xertux> kitche: yes it finds but i think for that reason i cant switch higher than 1024x768 resulation, or can u tell me how can i switch 1280x960?
[12:52] <velko> Cray, there are download tools for http (like wget) but you have to type the urls manually, so the answer is: no
[12:52] <Cray> i`m about to cry!
[12:52] <kitche> xertux, have your xorg.conf have that resolution in it
[12:52] <majorjrk> Any solution to the /bin/sh cant acces tty; job control turned off, that one get upon booting the cd for install, and then just a prompt with (initramfs) ?
[12:52] <cerneula> IndyGunFreak, still there?
[12:52] <LucianIndy> xertux: that is 30-96 HORIZ, 50-160 VERT . . this is for a 17" plasma flat screen with a 1280x1024 resolution
[12:52] <IndyGunFreak> cerneula: tragically.. :)
[12:52] <Cray> please help, i cant do this without more detailed explanations
[12:52] <Random832> why are there three "DejaVu Sans" in firefox?
[12:52] <xertux> LucianIndy: tnx
[12:52] <pablo-uy-mvd> hi! how to do setup autologin on terminals using xdmcp/gdm ?
[12:52] <Woosta> plasma flatscreens don't even USE a refresh rate
[12:52] <cerneula> :-) I tried to reboot, but nothing, still not working
[12:53] <cerneula> I haven't got a clue what it can be
[12:53] <velko> Cray, i'm going to bed now. maybe someone can help you with setting up your network connection. else this is your plan:
[12:53] <xertux> kitche: no it has 1152x864 max but still i can see that resulation at selection resulation screen
[12:53] <kitche> xertux, as I said add the resolutions you want to xorg.conf
[12:53] <cerneula> any ideas? if not I think I'll call it a day
[12:53] <LucianIndy> xertux: if it wont let you change to a higher resolution, then check the restricted drivers manager to see if graphics device is in there... if so, try enabling it and restarting. that is what i had to do because it was nvidia
[12:54] <velko> Cray, download all .deb files (inclusive the dependencies for the dependencies recursively), copy them to the linux machine in the directory /var/cache/apt/archive
[12:54] <pianoboy3333> What programs can I use for connecting my TI-84 to ubuntu?
[12:55] <pianoboy3333> does the packaged one work with ubuntu?
[12:55] <pianoboy3333> I mean, through wine
[12:55] <Cray> Is there not a page with all th .dep files listed?? I`m getting lost d/l them all
[12:55] <xertux> i could not find the terminal ? where is it?
[12:55] <Eviltronic> I installed ATI drivers from "restricted drivers manager" but now i can change resolution but not refresh rate... My display can have refresh rate up to 120 hz but as i choose higher resolution i just get 60 hz refresh rate.
[12:55] <velko> Cray, install them via the package manager (it will notice that they are already downloaded and will not attempt to get them from the net): apt-get install kalzium
[12:56] <teamwork> xertux, alt-f2: xterm , enter
[12:56] <yrlnry> Today the software update app told me about an update to Emacs 21, but when I went to install it, it warned me that the install might be unsafe, I think because the new files had no cryptosignature.
[12:56] <RauL> ff
[12:56] <yrlnry> I suppose a lot of other people encountered the same thing.
[12:56] <Cray> wtf is package manager! I dont know what these things are
[12:56] <velko> Cray, you can mirror the whole page but this is rather giant download
[12:56] <Cray> sorry sounding annoyed, i`m stressed and struggling,. Do appreciate ur help
[12:56] <cerneula> IndyGUnFreak: thanks a lot for your help. I'm off now. See you
[12:56] <yrlnry> Should I ignore the warning and go ahead?
[12:56] <IndyGunFreak> peace out.
[12:57] <luckbox> I'm back

[01:27] <Howitzer> jrib, i'm trying to get sonata to play my files but i don't see any files in the browser
[01:27] <staykovmarin> ToolBust: why use cedega?? wine is free, and better

[01:27] <sport> whats the difference between symbolic and hard links?
[01:28] <ToolBust> but I cant play the game with wine
[01:28] <downhillgames> hard links keep 2 files and change both when either change
[01:28] <teamwork_> sport, hard links are an actual file.
[01:28] <downhillgames> symbolics are 1-way ;)
[01:28] <ToolBust> and I have not payd for cedega
[01:28] <Howitzer> i have a symlink to my music folder in my home folder ( ~/music ==> /media/documenten/Documents/Music) and i specified that in my .mpd.conf file but still..
[01:28] <serenityUK> staykovmarin, i just looked at mine it doesn't even have a bus line anymore.. maybe it can figure it out if you only have one card
[01:28] <Bam2550> Hello
[01:28] <staykovmarin> ToolBust: what game is it?? with a a little messing around you can get any game working with wine
[01:28] <downhillgames> sport; a symbolic is like a shortcut where a hardlink updates both the file and the copy (hardlinked)
[01:28] <Operator> Bam2550: hello
[01:28] <Bam2550> Does it really take 6 weeks for an Ubuntu CD to get to me?
[01:29] <ToolBust> it is MX vs ATV Unleashed
[01:29] <teamwork_> Bam2550, up to, yes.
[01:29] <Howitzer> oh
[01:29] <Bam2550> So it could take less?
[01:29] <sport> downhillgames, can you give me an example of an update?
[01:29] <Howitzer> downhillgames, is it a softlink then?
[01:29] <hguerra> hguerra
[01:30] <downhillgames> sport; say you have a document in ~/Documents called hi.txt. you hardlink it to your desktop (for who knows what reason). it will make a direct _copy_ of that file on your desktop. if you change either the one in ~/Documents/ or ~/Desktop/, BOTH will update
[01:30] <kekk> can anybody help me set up wpa2 on my wifi? I have followed the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 but can't connect.
[01:30] <Siph0n> i assume u can get rid of network manager completely, and have all my wireless settings in a file right? is interfaces the only file i will need to edit to get my wireless connection to work?
[01:30] <staykovmarin> serenityUK: well i was stupid when i was installing my nvidia drivers.. forgot to back it up. so now i am trying to recover it, but that line is set to 0:5:0 and X server is complaining. maybe if i just delete it..? my mobo can do SLI but i don't
[01:30] <pianoboy3333> Is anyone here familiar with using tilp?
[01:30] <Operator> downhillgames: win nax!
[01:31] <downhillgames> sport; that same file in ~/Documents called hi.txt, if symlinked to your desktop, will merely act as a shortcut. it's not a real copy but just a link to it
[01:31] <Bam2550> Is it hard to make Ubuntu my OS?
[01:31] <staykovmarin> ToolBust: how did you install cedega?
[01:31] <jrib> Howitzer: tried to update the database?  close sonata and try 'mpc update'
[01:31] <teamwork_> Bam2550, naw.  it's real easy.

[01:31] <Ice_> Hi, what's a good parental controls type program that works with ubuntu?   Specifically one that blocks adult content in firefox, etc
[01:31] <sport> downhillgames, okay i get it like the same file existing in two places. whats a reason someone would hardlink over just symbolic linking?
[01:31] <Ice_> blocks adult content everywhere
[01:31] <downhillgames> sport; finally you will hear about "launchers" which simply run a command (usually to open an app like firefox, your music players, etc) without having to open a terminal
[01:32] <downhillgames> sport; i've used Linux for many years as an end-user and never had to  hardlink lol
[01:32] <ToolBust> by a debian package
[01:32] <downhillgames> sport; i'm not sure i can give you a _good_ reason
[01:32] <teamwork_> Ice_, i forget the name of it.  check out the one that Ubuntu Christian Edition uses.  i understand that ones really reliable.
[01:32] <kiteflyer> Ice_: ubuntu christian edition offers instructions for setting up filtering via proxy server.
[01:32] <downhillgames> sport; hope that helps :)

[01:32] <serenityUK> staykovmarin, well when i type:  lspci    my  nvidia card is listed as  01:00.0  VGA compatible...   i think bus is the nuber on the left column

[01:37] <downhillgames> sport; it's quite simple to understand if you log into a windows install and go to Control Panel > Administration Tools > Computer Management. in the disk tools there is a way to mount a "disk" or partition as like..

[01:38] <Howitzer> nope
[01:38] <downhillgames> sport; same thing, diff slashes and names ;) Linux actually has a very sane filesystem scheme. /home is users. /usr/share is all the stuff the users share ;) /etc are all the config file, /opt is optional, where your package manager wont mess with stuff... etc....
[01:38] <jrib> Howitzer: what does 'mpc ls' return?
[01:38] <always123> never used ubuntu in command line before , id imagine its similar to fedora
[01:39] <downhillgames> sport; if it helps, i learned _almost everything_ i know from using www.google.com/linux :)
[01:39] <JeevesMoss> downhillgmaes: have you ever used ISPConfig?
[01:39] <staykovmarin> serenityUK: yeah i will try that. thanks. next time i will back up =D

[01:45] <Chinaski1> hello, i have 4 working areas and was searching for a way to have a different wallpaper on each one of them. Can anyone help?
[01:45] <Ice_> is it sudo make and then sudo make install?
[01:45] <Chinaski1> ah, i use beryl
[01:45] <kitche> !compile | Ice_ depends on the program but most is ./configure && make && make install

[01:45] <serenityUK_> Ice_, yes usually you also do ./configure  but not always

[01:46] <always123> sweet thanks for the link
[01:46] <tinin> always123:  but tighvnc seems better
[01:46] <paotzu> Ice_: sudo apt-get install build-essential to get the build stuff
[01:47] <serenityUK_> Chinaski1, you need compiz-fusion to have 4 wallpapers.. on beryl  you would loose the icons
[01:47] <kekk> warbler, from a link from that site I read that the network manager supports wpa.. it only lets me choose wep.
[01:48] <Chinaski1> another question , i installed compiz fusion, but it' not working. Do i have to remove beryl first?
[01:48] <nightf0x316> anyone gotten hp 3330 laserjet scanner to work? using xsane it scans it gives me an error at about 90%
[01:48] <Chinaski1> *it's
[01:48] <serenityUK_> Chinaski1, no they can be side by side
[01:48] <osxdude|laptop> pike_ IT WORKS
[01:48] <serenityUK_> Chinaski1, not at same time but you can switch
[01:48] <always123> vnc is popular. ill have a look at tight vnc
[01:49] <DWSR> My wireless adapter always needs an ifdown && ifup in order to detect the network whenever I boot. Is there some way that I can automagically make this happen?
[01:49] <paotzu> DWSR: I, lazily, put stuff like that into /etc/rc.d/rc.local
[01:49] <serenityUK_> Chinaski1, when you click on the diamond icon can you not switch to compiz-fusion?
[01:50] <Chinaski1> no i could not, i removed it since it was not working
[01:50] <paotzu> DWSR: you could write a script for it, put it in the proper runlevel rc, detect if the card is working etc...
[01:50] <Ice_> I'm having a little trouble with the ./configure options of this program, details are here: http://pastebin.com/dc1d921b
[01:50] <DWSR> paotzu: Will it work even though I don't log in as root?
[01:50] <paotzu> DWSR: yes
[01:50] <Chinaski1> iwas able to chose compiz
[01:50] <nextse7en> anyone know why my sound stops working after the computer wakes up from going to sleep, and a way to fix it?
[01:50] <Chinaski1> but not compiz -fusion
[01:50] <serenityUK_> Ice_, try:     sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:51] <paotzu> DWSR: just add "ifdown && ifup" to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
[01:51] <Ice_> type that just like you said?
[01:51] <serenityUK_> yes it will ask for password
[01:51] <wowfanatic> I've been tryin' to get WoW to run on WINE It runs well enough to patch up to the current version and now it's hanging with these errors as soon as I submit my login info err:d3d:InitAdapters Failed to initialize gl caps for default adapter
[01:51] <wowfanatic> err:wine_d3d:WineDirect3DCreate Direct3D9 is not available without opengl (I've already followed what I saw on the forums about getting it up and running)
[01:51] <DWSR> paotzu: /etc/rc.d doesn't exist?
[01:51] <Ice_> what is build essential
[01:51] <always123> when doing apt-get dist-upgrade is the only other thing i need to do is apt-get update ? seems too easy thats all
[01:51] <serenityUK_> Ice_, it sets up the compiler so you can build programs
[01:52] <DWSR> wowfanatic: I've got it working. What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[01:52] <Ice_> oh ok
[01:52] <wowfanatic> Feisty, the lastest release, AMD64
[01:52] <DWSR> always123: You need to sudo apt-get update before the dist-upgrade.
[01:52] <serenityUK_> Chinaski1, compiz-fusion is just compiz with the new plugins..  it still called compiz when you launch it
[01:52] <DWSR> wowfanatic: Hmm...
[01:52] <always123> seems to easy
[01:52] <DWSR> I have mine running on Xubuntu Fiesty on a Intel 32 bit.
[01:52] <Ice_> serenityUK, thanks alot ;D
[01:52] <Chinaski1> yes but even choosing compiz nothing happened
[01:52] <serenityUK_> gl
[01:53] <DWSR> always123: dist-upgrade breaks stuff sometimes. gl with it.
[01:53] <Ice_> the ./configure worked
[01:53] <Ice_> aftre that
[01:53] <serenityUK_> good
[01:53] <Chinaski1> no desktop effects
[01:53] <serenityUK_> u will need sudo  for the make install line

[02:13] <majorjrk> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-474394.html <-- same problem as me when compiling that driver, if anyone could help it would be great
[02:13] <Pelo> witless, did you check in the forum ?
[02:13] <phogg> wolferine: you can look for what has the sounds device open using lsof
[02:13] <RandomUsr> IndyGunFreak; linuxMint does the same thing
[02:13] <Frogzoo> djwonk: you can grep /dev/sd# for small chunks of data like a .profile
[02:13] <cduby1> what kind of software is there available to take input from a video source and record it in a fashion that can then be burned on a dvd?
[02:13] <k2jd> how do i execute a text document from term im on gnome but if i was on kde it would be kwrite /blahblah/blah/blah.txt
[02:13] <RandomUsr> tried booting to graphics safe mode and same issue
[02:14] <wolferine> grep for ? phogg
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> RandomUsr: hav eyou tried the alt. install cd?
[02:14] <phogg> wolferine: the name of the audio device

[02:14] <Pelo> k2jd, nano
[02:14] <smax> i have a recent copy of kubuntu on CD. and am currently running an older version.  is it feasable to install the recent kubuntu with out destroying my files on disk?
[02:14] <underdog5004> k2jd, gedit file.txt
[02:14] <warbler> RandomUsr: if you restart gdm is there an option in sessions to pick what starts - if you install kde over gnome you have to do that
[02:14] <RandomUsr> IndyGunFreak: alt install?
[02:14] <smax> i have no means of backing up.
[02:14] <Frogzoo> RandomUsr: for help with "can't acess tty" in Feisty, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421588&highlight=tty+job+control.
[02:14] <underdog5004> k2jd, from the command line, nano, pico, or vim
[02:14] <smax> too much data.
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> RandomUsr: its a text based installer, for PC's that choke on the live cd
[02:15] <LewisSharp> Ok, ubuntu installed my video card correctly it seems (voodoo 3 as it should) but lock me to a 640x480 resolution... I'm used to be on Debian and I didn't had that trouble. :(
[02:15] <underdog5004> smax, that sucks
[02:15] <IndyGunFreak> !alternate | RandomUsr
[02:15] <ubotu> RandomUsr: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[02:15] <RandomUsr> TOO MUCH INPUT

[02:15] <jrib> mikebot: I don't use firefox anymore so I haven't used it in a while.  If it doesn't let you use the built-in firefox one, then try whatever is available or wget
[02:15] <wolferine> apparently FF was taking it :(
[02:15] <ryan> man alive
[02:15] <IndyGunFreak> RandomUsr: to much input?... you input the same things as the live CD, its just text mode, instead of a GUI
[02:15] <RandomUsr> warbler? gdm?
[02:15] <ryan> who use opera here?
[02:15] <wolferine> thanks phogg
[02:15] <LewisSharp> cool thanks again :)
[02:15] <phogg> wolferine: probably something spawned by firefox... like flash
[02:16] <Frogzoo> wolferine: flash likely
[02:16] <underdog5004> np, LewisSharp
[02:16] <warbler> RandomUsr: cntrl-alt-bksp
[02:16] <RandomUsr> IndyGunFreak i meant everyone was trying to respond at once
[02:16] <djwonk> Frogzoo: that appears to be a binary file, don't know what I'm doing with it, probably will find the stock .profile somewhere and use it
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> oh.
[02:16] <smax> does the ubuntu cd all one to reinstall system files and maintain user accounts and documents?
[02:16] <RandomUsr> warbler; I'll try it quick
[02:16] <warbler> k
[02:16] <_tux> I had Opera but removed it seeing as I didn't use it much
[02:16] <ryan> dddddd
[02:17] <mikebot> jrib: haha wget...
[02:17] <Frogzoo> djwonk: /dev/sd## is the whole hard drive, or a partition eg . /dev/sda1
[02:17] <Frogzoo> smax: affirmative
[02:18] <Justi1> does openoffice (word processor) have a feature like MS word's "envelops and labels"?
[02:18] <RandomUsr> warbler: at what point would I  ctrl+alt+bksp?
[02:18] <Frogzoo> wolferine: my eyes!!
[02:18] <djwonk> Frogzoo: what does the ## mean?  (sorry for the basic question!)
[02:18] <warbler> RandomUsr: while the os is running - it should take you to a login screen
[02:19] <smax> Frogzoo: is it trivial ?  i would hate to make an accident.
[02:19] <Frogzoo> djwonk: blanks you fill in yourself eg /dev/sda, /dev/sda1
[02:19] <RandomUsr> while it's running warbler?
[02:19] <Frogzoo> !docs | smax
[02:19] <ubotu> smax: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com
[02:19] <RandomUsr> it only boots to busy box and when I do what you said it shows ^h or something
[02:20] <warbler> RandomUsr: yep - it takes you to the logon screen - there should be " options there
[02:21] <RandomUsr> warbler not so much
[02:21] <djwonk> Frogzoo: `locate profile` gave me some options to explore
[02:21] <RandomUsr> still in busybox
[02:21] <dehsets_2> who can speak turkish pls Pm me
[02:21] <Doorr> is it difficult to set up separate partitions for both windows and ubuntu?
[02:21] <djwonk> Frogzoo: /etc/skel i think is the ticket
[02:21] <staykovmarin> Doorr: did it today, took 10 mins
[02:22] <warbler> RandomUsr: no login screen or no effect from key combo?
[02:22] <Doorr> hmm, okay.
[02:22] <RandomUsr> warbler you got it man
[02:22] <Doorr> well is there a tutorial or something anywhere or is it pretty much straightforward?
[02:22] <warbler> RandomUsr: which?
[02:22] <Ice_> adobe reader installation is asking me for an installation directory, what should I give it?
[02:22] <RandomUsr> no effect warbler
[02:22] <RandomUsr> notta
[02:23] <warbler> RandomUsr: one min
[02:23] <staykovmarin> Doorr: http://www.commonmancomputing.com/y/Learn/DualBootVistaandLinux/tabid/62/Default.aspx
[02:23] <RandomUsr> sure
[02:23] <Frogzoo> djwonk: ok
[02:23] <Ice_> what is the default ubuntu installation directory which I should give it?
[02:23] <staykovmarin> Doorr: its for 6.06 and vista, but i t was good for me
[02:23] <RandomUsr> dual booting is easy these days
[02:23] <Doorr> thanks a lot.
[02:23] <RandomUsr> it used to be very difficult
[02:24] <majorjrk> How do i get /lib/modules/kernel/source, there is no such folder/content, and i cant find what package i should lack
[02:24] <Ice_> adobe reader installation is asking me for an installation directory, what should I give it?
[02:24] <majorjrk> i got kernel source, headers, image file etc
[02:24] <RandomUsr> I installed feisty and vista and no problems
[02:24] <tbuss> I'm looking for information on how to install a copy of windows on already partitioned linux hdd
[02:24] <Ice_> /usr/bin?
[02:24] <Ice_> tbuss h/o
[02:24] <Ice_> I have the answer
[02:24] <mikebot> jrib: This program isn't working either...
[02:24] <staykovmarin> tbuss: http://www.eloff.se/tutorials.php?ubuntu_vista_dualboot
[02:24] <mikebot> jrib: Ugh.
[02:24] <Enul> does an icon theme have only icons in it?
[02:25] <RandomUsr> tbuss, prolly won't work as windows boot loader likes to Rain supreme
[02:25] <warbler> RandomUsr: what partition size for feisty?
[02:25] <jrib> mikebot: if you can share, what site is this?
[02:25] <tbuss> staykovmarin: will this work with xp as well?
[02:25] <Ice_> tbuss, http://apcmag.com/5162/the_definitive_dual_booting_guide_linux_vista_and_xp
[02:25] <RandomUsr> warbler BIG
[02:25] <RandomUsr> lol
[02:25] <warbler> k
[02:25] <RandomUsr> that's on a desktop warbler
[02:25] <staykovmarin> tbuss: i would assume so. they are not all that different in the setup process
[02:26] <eduardo_> gv
[02:26] <RandomUsr> any other thoughts on the laptop issue warbler?
[02:26] <eduardo_> heloo
[02:26] <Ice_> adobe reader installation is asking me for an installation directory, what should I give it?
[02:26] <tbuss> RandomUsr: suggesting I back up and format, install windoze and then ubuntu?
[02:26] <RandomUsr> tbuss; Exactly
[02:26] <Slant_Laptop> [gutsy]  Is anyone having an issue where, after the latest update, gstreamer based applications are erroring with "internal data flow error"?
[02:26] <Scout> I downloaded the .run file for this game and it won't let me run it because I need to be root.
[02:26] <Scout> What should I do?
[02:26] <tbuss> staykovmarin: thanks for links
[02:26] <Ice_> ?
[02:26] <Slant_Laptop> It appears to only occur with MP3s...
[02:26] <Ice_> tbuss did you get the link I sent you?
[02:33] <staykovmarin> tbuss: i don't see why you would format and so on... its not that hard to set up now days. though i do recommend you back up
[02:33] <tbuss> Ice_: I'm looking at it now
[02:33] <RandomUsr> tbuss; it is possible to install the way you're referring to earlier but a major pain
[02:33] <tbuss> RandomUsr: would qtparted help in that department?
[02:33] <snowglobe> How do i make a partition readable over my network (i have an SMB network and an EXT3? partition that i want to be shared)
[02:33] <RandomUsr> tbuss, not so sure, I believe that qtparted simply manages partitions and the mbr but it can't fake out the windows install cd
[02:33] <RandomUsr> erg tbuss; delete all and install ubuntu then windows
[02:33] <RandomUsr> warbler, do you have anymore on the busybox thing?
[02:33] <phogg> snowglobe: you do not share partitions
[02:33] <tbuss> RandomUsr: Yeah, sucks though because I just need windows for a couple of apps that i really don;t use that often, wine isn;t showing much support for them either
[02:33] <paotzu> tbuss: which apps
[02:33] <snowglobe> phogg: really?
[02:33] <RandomUsr> tbuss, what apps?
[02:33] <staykovmarin> tbuss: why not find open source replacements??
[02:33] <phogg> snowglobe: if you want to make something available over SMB you configure samba to create a share at the directory you wish to share.
[02:33] <serenityUK_> tbuss, you can reinstall grub after windows withouth loosing your linux data
[02:33] <snowglobe> phogg, well, how do i do that?
[02:33] <RandomUsr> openoffice.org maybe
[02:33] <phogg> snowglobe: samba does not know or care what partition it is on
[02:33] <snowglobe> ok
[02:33] <tbuss> school assignments, need to be in a certain format
[02:33] <warbler> RandomUsr: been reading busybox site - urghhh - suggest a reinstall - but if bustbox is loaded as a default - no choice - you'll have to try to load gnome from busybox
[02:33] <phogg> snowglobe: there are some GUI samba config tools... one for kde, two web-based. Search your package repository
[02:33] <paotzu> tbuss: which format?
[02:33] <warbler> *busybox - freudian heh
[02:33] <serenityUK_> !grub
[02:33] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:33] <RandomUsr> warbler; nothing is installed.... I'm trying to install from the cd
[02:33] <xbehave> !xauth
[02:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xauth - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:33] <xbehave> i get an xauth error and cant login, any ideas?
[02:33] <RandomUsr> tbuss; USE OPENOFFICE.org please
[02:33] <Scout> Can anyone tell me how to install things as SU on ubuntu?
[02:33] <warbler> RandomUsr: is it alternate cd?
[02:33] <tbuss> paotzu: basically all of of your office extensions, I asked the Instructor if they would except openoffice, said no
[02:33] <xbehave> home is on a different partition
[02:33] <RandomUsr> warbler; nosireebob
[02:33] <phogg> tbuss: open office saves to native Word .doc
[02:33] <IndyGunFreak> !sudo | Scout
[02:33] <ubotu> Scout: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:33] <armyriad> Which folders should receive their own partitions?
[02:33] <Scout> Okay
[02:33] <warbler> RandomUsr: on my cd can only get gnome interface
[02:33] <xbehave> scout read man sudo but passically sudo su or sudo -i
[02:33] <staykovmarin> tbuss: open office can save with MS office extensions..
[02:33] <tbuss> phogg: will it do so without losing any of the orginal formatting?
[02:33] <phogg> tbuss: Basically... don't ask permission, just use Open Office. They'll never know.
[02:33] <stefano> Does anyone know where the restricted modules are installed and where are the nvidia.com modules installed?
[02:33] <serenityUK_> !grub | tbuss, you can fix grub again after you install windows
[02:33] <ubotu> tbuss, you can fix grub again after you install windows: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:33] <RandomUsr> gnome is fine I just want this to work warbler
[02:33] <phogg> tbuss: OO to Word I have never seen lose formatting. Word to OO sometimes formats a little differently
[02:34] <warbler> RandomUsr: don't know how - on the live cd - you ended up with busybox - unless it's the alternate cd?
[02:34] <tbuss> phogg: sounds great, I thought I had made a clean break from ms, until class started, but looks like I can manage with the open source apps avail :)
[02:34] <xbehave> tbuss, i think so abiword saves without anyloss, most places should accept pdf
[02:34] <RandomUsr> warbler I installed graphically on this machine from the same ISO
[02:35] <RandomUsr> it's starts ok then drops me to busybox
[02:35] <kandrews> armyriad: no folder "needs" its own partition except /. People like making /, /home partitions as well as /boot partitions sometimes.
[02:35] <xbehave> i get an xauth error and cant login, any ideas? (my home is on a second (ext3) partition
[02:35] <warbler> RandomUsr: is it feisty?
[02:35] <stefano> Does anyone know how to set the terminal keyboard setup?
[02:35] <RandomUsr> warbler, yes
[02:35] <serenityUK_> stefano, do you want to remove the restricted drivers so you can install the nvidia driver from the website?
[02:35] <warbler> one min
[02:36] <RandomUsr> brb I'm gonna go and eat
[02:36] <stefano> serenityUK yea
[02:36] <Ice_> is there any easy way to install the adobe reader plugin?
[02:36] <OberonKing> hi, i have a litle problem with feisty, I can't burn dvd/cd with any burner, any idea?
[02:36] <Dirk_> i'm off again, goodnight
[02:37] <Ice_> how do you give a whole terminal sudo access?
[02:37] <tbuss> xbehave: phogg: serenityUK_: staykovmarin: RandomUsr: paotzu: appreciate all the info everyone.
[02:37] <serenityUK_> stefano, good you read the small print.. most people miss that and get an error..  type:    sudo apt-get remove nvidia*    then install the driver from the website
[02:37] <staykovmarin> tbuss: you are welcome
[02:37] <phogg> Ice_: sure. Don't use adobe reader, use an open source pdf reader. Installing those is easy!
[02:38] <Ice_> phogg, do they have firefox plugins so I can view embedded pdf?
[02:38] <Don64> Ice_: sudo -i
[02:38] <stefano> serenityUK_, do you know how to setup the terminal's keyboard language?
[02:38] <phogg> Ice_: yes. Or at least... I have one.
[02:38] <Frogzoo> Ice_: easiest/best - install the proprietary acroread
[02:38] <Dingo4Life> Hi, im very new to this ubuntu stuff. i have a question. When i click on "Computer" it only has Filesystem and CD-RW/DVD. Where can i find my harddrive???
[02:38] <staykovmarin> Ice_: you should get that off the mozilla site
[02:38] <xbehave> Ice_, yes plugger will sort it out but ive had problems so would recomend using adobe
[02:39] <Pelo> phogg, I think it gets integrated when you install acroread from the adobe site
[02:39] <serenityUK_> stefano,  no sorry which country?
[02:39] <beau> What do you guys use for a mediaplayer? is there one that just works and does it all?
[02:39] <IndyGunFreak> Dingo4Life: your hard drive is the "Filesystem"
[02:39] <phogg> Pelo: it does, but acroread for Linux sucks badly and other Free pdf readers do not suck.
[02:39] <Pelo> beau, try xine
[02:39] <stefano> US
[02:39] <Dingo4Life> IndyGunFreak. can i make a nother hard drive then? cuase there is so0o0 many other files in there.
[02:39] <armyriad> How much swap space should I make?
[02:39] <kandrews> beau: try Miro/Democracy Player
[02:39] <staykovmarin> armyriad: double your ram is a good number
[02:39] <Pelo> armyriad,  2xRAM
[02:39] <xbehave> Dingo4Life,  you dont have a harddrive, theyre all mounted into folders
[02:39] <IndyGunFreak> Dingo4Life: i guess you could re-partition it, but that would be kinda pointless, just put files you want easy access to, in your home folder.
[02:40] <scipio> Dingo4Life, your drive is filesystem. if you have more than one partion they are mounted in /mnt "my documents" is /home where you can do your stuff
[02:40] <beau> I got gxine running now..and vlc..and mplayer..and kaffeine...its kind of silly
[02:40] <Evanlec> !xin

[02:40] <stefano> serenityUK_, I have my keyboard's keys messed around with... and i know keyboard loads up. At first it did, but after i messed with nvidia restricted it reset to standard
[02:40] <Dingo4Life> ok then. thankyou guys for your time
[02:40] <majorjrk> anyone know where i find mac80211 headers ?
[02:40] <Dingo4Life> <#
[02:40] <IndyGunFreak> !totem | Evanlec
[02:40] <ubotu> Evanlec: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[02:40] <xbehave> armyriad, its debatable id say no more than 1gb and for most people i wouldnt even use that much
[02:40] <Evanlec> heh
[02:40] <Evanlec> yea, dere's a lot of em
[02:40] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: VLC kills them all for video.
[02:41] <Evanlec> yea, i agree, it play anything
[02:41] <JeevesMoss> can anyone give me a hand improving the preformance of Apache2?  it just seems to be running VERY slow
[02:41] <beau> VLC is buggy..I cant get it to play anything with beryl running..
[02:41] <beau> sometimes Mplayer also
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: VLC for video, audacious for regular mp3s, or if you like an Itunes like program, Amarok.
[02:41] <LewisSharp> Yay, fixed my resolution thanks a lots again :). Now, I have two physical hard drive connected, one 30gb one 6gb. I installed on the 30, I want to go get my files from the 6gb one on which I had debian on. When I try to mount it through double clicking I get a can't mount error.
[02:41] <beau> Amarok is pretty darn nice
[02:41] <phogg> IndyGunFreak: amarok! high five!
[02:41] <xbehave> Amarok >>>> Itunes
[02:42] <serenityUK_> JeevesMoss, there is a big #apache channel mate
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> phogg: :)
[02:42] <Flare183> Oh yeah
[02:42] <LogicalDash>  I'm trying to resize a partition, parted keeps saying it has an incompatible feature enabled but doesn't tell me what that feature is. How do I find out?
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> i've used iTunes on Windows, and i think it pales in comparison to Amarok... Amarok I think sync's an ipod easier than Itunes, oddly enough
[02:43] <pianoboy3333> anyone here have a TI-84? I'm having some problems using tilp
[02:43] <beau> I dont have an ipod..but amarok just plain kicks butt
[02:43] <stefano> !xkbd
[02:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xkbd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:43] <IndyGunFreak> beau: if you hda an ipod, you'd like it even more..
[02:43] <HotKing2008> test
[02:43] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak: I got write access to my ntfs-internal now lol, just needed a reboot i guess..
[02:43] <morgan555> is it common to have poor video with the intel chipset/video thing?
[02:43] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: lol
[02:43] <serenityUK_> stefano, and this is just console or X aswell?   have you tried the System->Prefs->Keyboard config
[02:43] <Wips> I'm connected to a Unix Shell, how do I get root access. Sudo is not a valid command
[02:43] <AndrewB> Wips:   su  ?
[02:43] <staykovmarin> su??
[02:44] <IndyGunFreak> su
[02:44] <beau> Which chipset..I got a centrino and what plays plays pretty good..even though default settings are way to bright
[02:44] <Pelo> sudo
[02:44] <serenityUK_> stefano, or s that how you broke it lol
[02:44] <staykovmarin> lol su attack
[02:44] <Evanlec> speaking of poor video, it does seem that videos played in Ubuntu seem to be lacking "optimization" they seem raw and un-filtered
[02:44] <phogg> Wips: exploit a known buffer overflow vulnerability
[02:44] <morgan555> beau, I believe its the 915?
[02:44] <stefano> serenityUK_, both. I was working before, but after i installed restricted it was going whacky.
[02:44] <beau> I have the same thing..are you running 3d effects or beryl?
[02:44] <Wips> phogg, huh?
[02:44] <phogg> Wips: a joke
[02:44] <Evanlec> beau: either way
[02:44] <Wips> oh :P

[02:50] <beau> morgan555. Im not sure man. Im watching a dvd right now and it seems pretty good in gxine with my lousy intel vid card
[02:50] <olis_> anyway to control what each mouse button sends as a command (to replicate keyboard keys) ?
[02:50] <MS_slayer> no0n: if you quite sure to remember the password, you can try logon: mysql -u root -p
[02:50] <fevel> its a pavillion dv2000 laptop
[02:50] <morgan555> cool, thanks for the help
[02:50] <MS_slayer> no0n: and type in the password you think you remember

[02:50] <beau> morgan555 what are your machine specs? proc ram etc?
[02:50] <OberonKing> Pelo, :P the warranty expires, the dvd recorder work fine in other SO
[02:50] <Wips> Damn, seems like I don't have the root password.. Suppose I've gotta ask my Webhost
[02:51] <IndyGunFreak> fevel: lspci should identify your devices..
[02:51] <staykovmarin> Wips: is it the default installation of ubuntu??
[02:51] <Pelo> OberonKing, did you try just burning a small amount of data ?
[02:51] <warbler> RandomUsr: can't get to the forums! - might take a couple of mins
[02:51] <no0n> MS_slayer: i remembered it, logged on.  whats the deal?  I type that same pass into my Debconf dialog with torrentflux and it errors?
[02:51] <xbehave> can you install ubuntu over an existing install to fix it
[02:51] <majorjrk> Anyone using mac80211 could please tell me where the header files is located ?
[02:51] <Wips> staykovmarin, I have no idea.. I'm new to the webhost.

[02:57] <Wips> staykovmarin, I use the ubuntu terminal
[02:57] <Wips> staykovmarin, I don't think I have permissions like that from the webhost tbh
[02:57] <beau> i want it to minimize to the tray when I X it out..lol
[02:57] <xbehave> iceweasel (when spelt correctly) is firefox compiled with faster flags and a new logo because mozillas icon isnt gnu, its what most debian distros use
[02:58] <Wips> staykovmarin, to be able to use apt-get
[02:58] <Wips> staykovmarin, either way, it says apt-get: command not found
[02:58] <staykovmarin> Wips: i am out of ideas, sorry
[02:58] <MS_slayer> beau, i use ktorrent, and it stays in the system tray :)

[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> Wips: what command are you running that is coming up not found?

[02:59] <MS_slayer> beau: Ktorrent
[02:59] <Wips> IndyGunFreak, sudo, apt-get
[02:59] <OberonKing> Pelo, thanks any way ;)
[02:59] <AnRkey> beau, why not try azureus it may be better suited to your needs
[02:59] <warbler> RandomUsr: what's the computer?- brand & type
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> Wips: well what are you trying o apt-get?"\
[02:59] <Wips> IndyGunFreak, But it's on a shell, at a new webhost..
[02:59] <beau> MS-slayer..lol..will give it a try
[02:59] <Pelo> beau, the original bittorrent client ? by brams ?  check the bittorrent site for info
[02:59] <morgan555> for torrent I like Deluge
[02:59] <Wips> IndyGunFreak, I dont know. sudo?
[03:00] <IndyGunFreak> Wips: well if you dont apt-get something, you can't expect apt-get to work
[03:00] <beau> Im just using the default ubuntu install..no addons
[03:00] <AnRkey> morgan555, i love my little torrentflux-b4rt server. Can manage my torrents from anywhere
[03:00] <RandomUsr> warbler it's an Inspiron 1520 with core 2 duo and mobile 965 chipset
[03:00] <beau> not even a launcher
[03:00] <warbler> k
[03:00] <IndyGunFreak> Wips: for instance, sudo apt-get install firefox... installs firefox... sudo apt-get remove firefox.. will uninstall firefox.
[03:00] <RandomUsr> DELL
[03:00] <Pelo> beau, try deluge or utorrent running on wine,  it will make your life eaiser
[03:00] <RandomUsr> the chipset should be the concern I guess then

[03:01] <Wips> IndyGunFreak, Thanks for helping but, this is not my real problem :P I know how apt-get works. My real problem is that it seems like I don't have root access to my shell on the webhost. So I'm not able to install template-toolkit, the module for Perl.
[03:01] <allen_> ok

[03:02] <serenityUK> majorjrk, sudo apt-get install build-essential bin86 kernel-package libqt3-headers libqt3-mt-dev wget libncurses5 libncurses5-dev
[03:02] <wolferine> tigafan09, anything else using your audio ?
[03:02] <MS_slayer> UncleD: wazzup
[03:03] <serenityUK> majorjrk, from the master kernel thread on forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158
[03:03] <beau> well I am downloading ktorrent now..
[03:03] <UncleD> MS_slayer: I have a ruby mailing daemon that uses postfix to send email. When I send one to "billybob@yoyo.com" and the MTA at yoyo.com decides to accept the mailing for the time being. 20 mins later it kicks back a 5.x.x error. There is no way for the mailer daemon to know the success of that mailing. And to throw another curveball, oftentimes when an MTA bounces the message you don't get an original copy of it
[03:03] <tigafan09> i dont think so.... audio isnt working for any other program now
[03:04] <tigafan09> it just stopped working all of a sudden
[03:04] <c01100011> any recommendations for cross client [lin to win]  video chat ?
[03:04] <cafuego> pidgin? Does that do video?
[03:04] <c01100011> nope
[03:05] <chrisdpratt> perhaps a plugin does, but not out of the box
[03:05] <wolferine> tigafan09, lsof | grep /dev/snd
[03:05] <xbehave> pidgin over msn should
[03:05] <UncleD> MS_slayer: How can i effectively track bounces? Postfix appears to be really made to be more of a general purpose MTA
[03:05] <tigafan09> ok what does this tell me?
[03:05] <radioaktivstorm> hello, i am having issues with my wifi... i was trying to get it to work with an open network and now it does not work with the roaming mode. can someone tell me how to reset the configuration of my wireless without having to redo the setting up of drivers (i have one of those not so fun broadcom ones)
[03:05] <xbehave> does skype do what you want?
[03:05] <wolferine> tigafan09, its pretty self explainatory
[03:06] <tigafan09> sorry but it isnt to me
[03:06] <chrisdpratt> should i be seeing more in my sessions options tab (via System>Preferences>Sessions) than a checkbox labeled "Automatically save changes to session" and a button labeled "Save the current session"?
[03:06] <wolferine> it tells you whats using your audio
[03:06] <wolferine> since /dev/snd is your audio device
[03:07] <chrisdpratt> sorry and I'm on Feisty
[03:07] <wolferine> snd short for sound, and /dev for device
[03:07] <serenityUK> chrisdpratt, same here
[03:07] <serenityUK> chrisdpratt, on gutsy
[03:07] <chrisdpratt> that's weird... the help button talks about a whole bunch more stuff that should be there... possibly documented before implemented?
[03:08] <tigafan09> i see 3 entries titled artsd 1 entry called mixer_app and 1 entry for xmms
[03:08] <wolferine> tigafan09, so looks like those are using your audio atm
[03:08] <wolferine> tigafan09, maybe try and close them ?
[03:09] <mheath_> chrisdpratt, Yeah, a lot more stuff should be there.
[03:09] <beau> are you clicking the other tabs?
[03:09] <spikie> sorry for my bad english : but does anyone have already make simcity 4 work on Feisty Fawn?
[03:10] <chrisdpratt> I'm looking for a way to save my workspace as is... certain programs open and arranged in a certain way... i think that's what saving the current session button does from what I've read, but it would be nice to be able to name it and save multiple which doesn't seem to be implemented although the help file says you can ;)
[03:10] <warbler> RandomUsr: this thread - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=520189&highlight=busybox - should be able to let you know what happened & how to fix it
[03:10] <serenityUK> chrisdpratt, maybe you have to enable it first.. then you can add a second etc
[03:10] <RandomUsr> hmmm
[03:10] <warbler> RandomUsr: a bit of work though
[03:10] <RandomUsr> warbler, lemme look
[03:10] <tigafan09> ok
[03:10] <warbler> k
[03:10] <chrisdpratt> hmm... how would I "enable it"? ;)
[03:10] <RandomUsr> thanks for the fervent efforts
[03:11] <riotkittie> err.  im trying to toss dapper onto a spare partition, using the live cd. when i get to setting up partitions, gparted spits out errors about one of my many fat32 partitions having errors.  i have chkdsk /f'ed drives C, D, G, H and I. WinXP reports that theyre all fine. :| Also, it's spitting out a message about partition 0,0,0.  does that make sense to anyone? :P
[03:11] <airwaffle> Is there a way I can tell if my 54mbps wireless dongle is only getting <11Mbps  because of drivers as opposed to bad signal?
[03:11] <tigafan09> wut is artsd and mixer_app
[03:11] <kauer> tiotkittie: Paste the actual errors to the pastebin...
[03:11] <riotkittie> could my problem stem from the fact that i am trying to install to an external eSATA drive? or should that not be an issue?
[03:12] <serenityUK> hmmm
[03:12] <kauer> tiotkittie = riotkittie
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> riotkittie: thats most likely the issue, you need the alternate install cd
[03:12] <warbler> riotkittie: partition 0 is the mbr
[03:12] <riotkittie> warbler > why would it be seeing my mobo as a partition?
[03:12] <tigafan09> ok i fixed it thanks
[03:13] <riotkittie> IndyGunFreak: i was thinking that :P  but i was hoping that was not the case. thank youuuuuuuuu.
[03:13] <kauer> riotkittie:MBR=master boot record :-)
[03:13] <IndyGunFreak> riotkittie: yeah, unfortunately...
[03:13] <warbler> riotkittie: the mbr - master boot record - is the first section on hard drive
[03:13] <riotkittie> errr i dont know why i typed mobo
[03:13] <bulmer> airwaffle: does it really make that much difference between <11Mbps and 54mbps ? does the far end or the internet pipe you're using have that kind of bandwidth?
[03:13] <chrisdpratt> interesting... seems all the session stuff the help file mentions was there until edgy I think... but for some reason it has been removed from feisty and gutsy as well apparently
[03:13] <warbler> riotkittie: can you - in bios - select to boot from usb?
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: he'll still need the alternate cd...
[03:14] <riotkittie> warbler > of course i can but why would i do that?
[03:14] <riotkittie> She. <cough>
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> :)
[03:14] <kauer> chrisdpratt: what session stuff? Feisty still has system->preferences->sessions...?
[03:14] <FusE-> Is there a way to run an Apache server FROM Windows on ubuntu?
[03:15] <Howitzer> How do i make it so mpd starts up every boot as a deamon?, as in, before X even starts
[03:15] <warbler> riotkittie: how do you - at boot - get the comp to recognise the external drive - that is what you want - yes?
[03:15] <riotkittie> warbler > the computer recognizes the drive fine at boot.
[03:15] <chrisdpratt> kauer: the session options tab is missing alot of stuff in feisty and gutsy... but the help file still talks about it as if it's all there
[03:15] <Frogzoo> FusE-: point apache to a samba share?
[03:16] <FusE-> Frogzoo, I currently don't have apache installed on ubuntu
[03:16] <airwaffle> bulmer, mainly for transfer between computers so yes (100Mbps router). I think it might be drivers
[03:16] <riotkittie> my issue is that gparted is telling me there are errors with a fat partition, and then saying something about 0,0,0
[03:16] <bjonnh|1892> Hi there
[03:16] <Frogzoo> FusE-: so share you files to the doze box
[03:16] <kauer> chrisdpratt: can you be more specific? Actually, if you are just musing, forget it :-) But if you have an actual problem, why not tell us what you are trying to do...
[03:16] <Frogzoo> FusE-: or just install apache
[03:16] <FusE-> So I should install apache? or use something like wine
[03:16] <beau> anyone here run BSD?
[03:16] <chrisdpratt> i found this post: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/make-ubuntu-automatically-save-changes-to-your-session/ ... which has a screenshot of what the session options tab is supposed to look like... from the date of the article, it's seems around dapper time
[03:17] <bulmer> airwaffle: why not just use wired instead of wireless..there is no guarantee that the bit rate will achieve maximum
[03:17] <Frogzoo> FusE-: just install apache
[03:17] <warbler> riotkittie: sounds like your master boot record is broke - have same prob - gparted only sees my disk as mt
[03:17] <kauer> beau: yes, ALL of us! That's why we are in a forum called "ubuntu"!
[03:17] <bulmer> airwaffle: when using wireless
[03:17] <beau> kauer you airhead...BSD isnt linux
[03:17] <airwaffle> bulmer, big house.. distance is longer than longest cat6
[03:17] <Howitzer> How do i make it so mpd starts up every boot as a deamon?, as in, before X even starts
[03:18] <phenom> sure it isnt
[03:18] <phenom> :)
[03:18] <riotkittie> if my MBR was broke, wouldnt i have issue booting into the Win OS and 2 distros that i've got installed?
[03:18] <kauer> beau: You airhead, I know. But your question was so silly, I couldn't resist. You want BSD help, go find a BSD forum, you'll get much better quality assistance :-)
[03:18] <beau> no BSD fans? was thinking of switching
[03:18] <chrisdpratt> kauer: well, half musing, half actual problem.. i want to do some of the things with sessions that you can only do with the pieces that are missing in that tab, either way it seems to be a bug in feisty and gutsy and perhaps edgy, but I don't have an edgy install to verify with
[03:18] <bulmer> airwaffle: well as i have said none can guarantee the bandwidth
[03:19] <beau> how is asking if anyone here runs BSD silly?
[03:19] <warbler> riotkittie: I triple boot with no probs - just can't change partitions cause gparted can't see them
[03:19] <airwaffle> bulmer, yeah, i know, just trying to see what the limiting factor is
[03:19] <cafuego> beau: try #freebsd or #openbsd
[03:19] <serenityUK> chrisdpratt, ok lol sorry i broke my X while experimenting...  it didn't reveal any buttons when saving current session or anything u must be right about unimplemented... it broke my compiz lol but i fixed it by deleting ~/.gnome2/session
[03:19] <kauer> chrisdpratt: take a deep breath, think about it foir a while, and then: Ask an actual question! Yes! What do you want to do?
[03:20] <riotkittie> it seems to pick my partitions up without a hitch. theyre all listed, and everything it list is correct.
[03:20] <warbler> riotkittie: what's the error about partition 0:0:0...
[03:21] <savvas> the x64 version has the same amount of packages as ubuntu x86? or less?
[03:21] <kauer> beau: Do you lob into a Ford convention and ask "does any one here drive a Toyota?". Makes more sense to go find a Ford convention, don't you think?
[03:21] <cafuego> savvas: less
[03:21] <riotkittie> warbler > hold on. let me either walk around the room to go wired, or find my laptop ... and i'll tell you   :P
[03:21] <beau> good god you are so obtuse..have a good night
[03:21] <warbler> k
[03:21] <kauer> bye bye beau.... :-)
[03:22] <savvas> cafuego: would you happen to know how much less are there? I'm thinking of using the amd64 for an intel core duo computer I have
[03:22] <ConstyXIV> how touchscreen friendly is ubuntu?
[03:22] <cafuego> beau: This is a *support* channel. Ubuntu *support* is on topic. *BSD is not. Easy. Try #*pdf or #ubuntu-offtopic.
[03:22] <cafuego> eh, #*bsd :-)
[03:23] <Ahadiel> I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on my problem. I am using an Intel GMA945 (Laptop), and I get window tearing when moving them. I have tried both i810 and intel drivers, and the problem still persists.
[03:23] <always123> does apt have a command similar to yum's grouplist?
[03:23] <chrisdpratt> kauer: i think you missed a bit of the conversation... particularly the part where I said what I wanted to do, but for your benefit: I want to be able to have multiple saved sessions instead of just one (that I could lose or screw up accidentally)... this used to be possible, but the functionality has apparently been removed in the newer versions
[03:23] <stefano> Is it possible to get System Monitor to display the cpu load with a HT processor?
[03:23] <Pelo> always123,  meta-packages ?
[03:24] <downhillgames> stefano; have you looked at the preferences?
[03:24] <fevel>  doesnt nvidia support drivers for geforce go 6150 anymore??
[03:24] <Pelo> ConstyXIV,  check in this link see if any touchscreens are listed, and you can also try looking up specific models in the www.ubuntuforums.org   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:24] <downhillgames> stefano; guess it's not in there... my bad
[03:24] <stefano> downhillgames, no prob.
[03:24] <always123> just something so i can install groups of software , e./g atm im looking for the x server environment
[03:25] <stefano> Do i have to have a specific kernel for this to work?
[03:25] <downhillgames> stefano; latest kernels have SMP built in. so no
[03:25] <downhillgames> stefano; not sure you can display load on HT... i know you can for multi-core/cpu
[03:25] <simplechat> hey
[03:25] <downhillgames> and others
[03:25] <b14ck> I am trying to get vim to work with syntax highlighting (color). But it says "Sorry, the command is not available in this version" when I try to do ":syntax on". How can I get the proper version?
[03:25] <downhillgames> stefano; the kernel-generic is the one with SMP in it (if that helps)
[03:25] <phenom> stefano: you don't see processor 0 and 1? Ubuntu base install will setup ht.
[03:26] <serenityUK> savvas, the only thing I can't get working in 64bit is java plugin for firefox...  but Java 7 will fix this
[03:26] <phenom> 0 = 1, 1 = 2
[03:26] <stefano> phenom, i have installed the linux-386 kernel, would that be the reason?
[03:26] <osxdude|laptop> The web browser applet for VNC isn't working...what do I need  to do to make it work? I am using RealVNC
[03:26] <Grungebunny> phenom therefore 0 = 2 ?
[03:27] <phenom> stefano: I wouldnt know from recollection
[03:27] <downhillgames> stefano; yes
[03:27] <always123> how do i show a sumary of hardware in terminal need to know what my graphics card is
[03:27] <downhillgames> stefano; you need linux-386-generic or whatever it is
[03:27] <bjonnh|1892> serenityUK, you know swiftfox ?
[03:27] <terbantut> help - i had ubuntu 7.04, my dvd drive broke. how to install in other way?
[03:27] <downhillgames> terbantut; does your NIC do PXE?
[03:27] <warbler> !install
[03:27] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[03:27] <stefano> downhillgames, ok.. So then if i have a P4 HT at 3.0 and i don't use the generic kernel, i am underpowering my machine?
[03:28] <downhillgames> stefano; indeed. exactly :)
[03:28] <stefano> lol
[03:28] <stefano> Damn...
[03:28] <terbantut> downhillgames - when my laptop booting i see the PXE
[03:28] <downhillgames> stefano; tis a simple fix
[03:28] <kauer> chrisdpratt: not only is it still inthe vrious howtos, it's still in the help text! But I can't find a way to save multiple sessions either. I wonder if it's a permissionsthing - that some criterion must be met to allow multiple sessions? Hm, something in the conf editor?
[03:28] <stefano> downhillgames, i know how to fix it :d
[03:28] <downhillgames> terbantut; you can use another machine on the network to PXE boot. then do a network install
[03:28] <bjonnh|1892> terbantut, i use swiftfox which is fast and accepts flash 32 (installed automaticaly and not buggy as nspluginwrapper that sucks my cpu) and java needs only 3 commands to install
[03:28] <aSt3raL> whats the regexp for a space?
[03:28] <serenityUK> bjonnh|1892, i have heard about it but never used it
[03:28] <staykovmarin> ok this is a total newb question: in terminal how do i make large print outs so i can scroll trough them. ex if i do ls in a directory full of files, i can only see a part of them.. is there a way to scroll and see all the files present??
[03:28] <downhillgames> stefano; :D never underestimate the dude asking kernel questions ;)

[03:29] <osmosis> anyone know why xen is using a generic kernel?
[03:29] <downhillgames> osmosis; Xen has it's own kernel
[03:29] <Frogzoo> sslashes: less > more
[03:29] <osxdude|laptop> The web browser applet for VNC isn't working...what do I need  to do to make it work? I am using RealVNC
[03:29] <sslashes> Frogzoo: heh - depends on the application =P
[03:29] <osmosis> downhillgames: thats what I thought. Do you have it installed?
[03:29] <downhillgames> Frogzoo; not if you want to keep where you left off on the screen :)
[03:29] <chrisdpratt> kauer: it was all there in previous versions of ubuntu... dapper at least, edgy as well perhaps... i think it's actually been removed for some reason, but it's odd that there's no documentation on why or when
[03:30] <downhillgames> osmosis; no. i run Fedora 7 here.
[03:30] <stefano> downhillgames, Maybe or maybe not ^_^... I have tried to compile the kernel for my arch 686, but it turns out not to be so well configure all the time.
[03:30] <downhillgames> osmosis; and for that matter i use VMware hehe
[03:30] <kauer> chrisdpratt: I never use sessions, so never noticed either way.
[03:30] <osmosis> downhillgames: when i apt-get install xen , it gives me a grub like this... http://dpaste.com/18217/
[03:30] <downhillgames> stefano; why are you compiling? (hint: compile against the linux-xxx-generic sources)
[03:30] <osmosis> downhillgames: how is vmware ?
[03:31] <downhillgames> osmosis; i run XP seamlessly on my desktop when needed :) it's nice
[03:31] <warbler> chrisdpratt: I still have session options on feisty
[03:31] <sslashes> does anyone know what happened to /usr/share/doc/usplash-dev in feisty (the package that used to provide it changed names from usplash-dev to libusplash-dev)
[03:31] <downhillgames> osmosis; messed up! search Synaptic Package Manager if you can
[03:31] <stefano> downhillgames, nah i like me vanilla flavored kernel, used to do it well with slackware... but seems ubuntu is tuned for certain things.
[03:31] <downhillgames> stefano; welcome to a major distro :)
[03:32] <chrisdpratt> kauer: well this is my first time, and now only because I'm tired of positioning all my windows i use doing rails development, but i think apparently most people don't use it that often, since I, the most unlikely of suspects, first noticed it apparently
[03:32] <stefano> also pcs are so complicated now that i don't know what i need to enable or not into the kernel :D
[03:32] <stefano> downhillgames, by major you mean : Fedora, Ubuntu, SuSe?
[03:32] <downhillgames> stefano; pretty much
[03:32] <phenom> Debian :/
[03:32] <chrisdpratt> warbler: the tab is still there, but a number of features are missing, such as being able to save multiple named sessions
[03:32] <downhillgames> Slackware/Debian are major too...
[03:32] <masss> troubled   you there
[03:33] <downhillgames> it's just... not... "mainstream" i guess
[03:33] <phenom> Gentoo
[03:33] <downhillgames> gentoo as well
[03:33] <bjonnh|1892> stefano, kernel config is also more evoluted, so lessen error risk
[03:33] <downhillgames> lol
[03:33] <phenom> :/
[03:33] <doug_> how do i get java applet to work?
[03:33] <warbler> k
[03:33] <phenom> KnoppixSTD
[03:33] <downhillgames> mandriva doesn't count
[03:33] <warbler> !sessions
[03:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sessions - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:33] <bjonnh|1892> stefano, begin by removing what you don't have
[03:33] <bjonnh|1892> stefano, look at your lspci -vv
[03:34] <always123> can someone point me to a topic or post that tells me how to install and setup vnc through ssh
[03:34] <sslashes> phenom: I very much like Gentoo
[03:34] <osxdude|laptop> The web browser applet for VNC isn't working...what do I need  to do to make it work? I am using RealVNC
[03:34] <kauer> chrisdpratt: man gnome-session has some interesting clues. I think you could wing it if you were prepared to manage the session config files yourself. Not exactly user friendly though. Interestingly enough there appears to be an update-alternatives entry for x-session-manager, but at least on my feisty install there are no other alternatives.
[03:34] <chrisdpratt> haha... that's a quote for you: "<ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sessions..."
[03:35] <b_9> #mplayer
[03:35] <CzarAlex> fdisk -l shows nothing at all...and i just connected a new drive id like to format. is something wrong?
[03:35] <b_9> how do I play h.264 files in linux with mplayer?
[03:35] <sslashes> does anyone know what happened to /usr/share/doc/usplash-dev in feisty (the package that used to provide it changed names from usplash-dev to libusplash-dev) - and if noone knows, does someone running a pre-feisty release mind taring that directory and posting it somewhere I can wget it?
[03:36] <nixNewb> howdy, i updated my computer, now my graphics doesn't work
[03:36] <warbler> CzarAlex: sudo fdisk -l
[03:36] <nixNewb> i think it may just be resoultion
[03:36] <nixNewb> resolution

[03:39] <MikeTheC> hello all...
[03:39] <Grungebunny> staykovmarin you pay for it?
[03:39] <warbler> !hi
[03:39] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:39] <Ice> did anyone check on a workaround for this? http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/video/gen/requirements/firefox/index.html  Im a bit stumped on what to do
[03:39] <sslashes> stefano: remove the know key from the know keys file in ~/.ssh/
[03:39] <sslashes> *known
[03:40] <staykovmarin> Grungebunny: no, used it at work
[03:40] <kaue1> chrisdpratt" Try "gnome-session-properties -help" and follow the bouncing ball to more clues...?
[03:40] <stefano> sslashes, thanks
[03:40] <kaue1> chrisdpratt: --help actually
[03:40] <Evanlec> question: how many of you have tried other major distros and found ubuntu to be the best?
[03:40] <secretrk1314> Staykovmarin: i sent you a private message
[03:40] <masss> ubuntu recognize my wireless card and my wireless connection, yet i cant always connect and when i do the connection lasts 5 mins before i cant load anything again, someone have a idea guys
[03:40] <bjonnh|1892> good night (from france)
[03:41] <riotkittie> ok, here's the error ... "test of FS fat32 in partition 2 of scsi4 (0,0,0) has found uncorrected errors". again, XP reports no probs with any of the partitions in chkdsk. could this, perhaps, be because the fat32 parts on that drive are ~120GB each?   i seem to recall something about limitations...
[03:41] <sslashes> Evanlec: for ease of use - i would give ubuntu a 100, but i also run gentoo and (oh my - a non-open source os) os x
[03:41] <Dougie> i seem to be having a little glitch when trying to play a lot of my FLAC files.
[03:41] <staykovmarin> i was suse all the way
[03:41] <Evanlec> tanks for info mike + slashes
[03:41] <MikeTheC> sslashes: I'm on OS X right now...
[03:42] <Dougie> It gives me this error telling me they are marked as .flac but are actually MP3's which i know they are flac because I encoded them. I have to right click them and go to open with to open them how can i fix this glitch?
[03:42] <kaue1> Dougie: And that glitch would be....?
[03:42] <serenityUK> Ice, i think that is for windows only
[03:42] <Dougie> kauel, sorry was typing it out
[03:42] <sslashes> MikeTheC: :)
[03:42] <kaue1> Dougie: Sorry, passed in transit :-)
[03:42] <Evanlec> can I put OSX on my pentium 4 system? lol
[03:42] <riotkittie> but im not sure if that was about partition sizes, or merely file sizEs.
[03:42] <inbitado34> can i close port Microsoft-ds, there are to many intents of invasion by there ???
[03:42] <CzarAlex> if im installing a second HD for more storage, do I want the partition Logical or Primary?
[03:42] <MikeTheC> My server runs Debian Etch PPC, tho...
[03:42] <nixNewb> how do i change the resolution of my monitor from command prompt?
[03:42] <Dougie> kauel, no worries ;)
[03:42] <osxdude|desktop> Evanlec IDK
[03:42] <majorjrk> make modules on my kernel gives me no rule to make target init/main.o needed by init/build-int.o, anyone ?
[03:43] <osxdude|desktop> No
[03:43] <Ice> serenityUK, all of cartoon network is windows only?
[03:43] <Evanlec> CzarAlex: Logical
[03:43] <CzarAlex> Evanlec thank you.
[03:43] <Evanlec> CzarAlex: sry wait i might be wrong
[03:43] <Evanlec> CzarAlex: u probly want it primary actually ;p
[03:43] <Ice> I guess Ill go with wine for that then
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> CzarAlex: If the first and only partition on the second drive make it primary
[03:43] <CzarAlex> Jack_Sparrow thank you.
[03:43] <kaue1> Dougie: have a look at them with (say) od and you will soon see if they are FLAC or MP3. You may have encoded them as MP3 by mistake, but named them .flac.
[03:43] <Evanlec> ya, what he said
[03:43] <CzarAlex> Evanlec and you too :)
[03:43] <Evanlec> welcome ;p
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:44] <staykovmarin> secretrk1314: what do you need?
[03:44] <secretrk1314> i need a video editior for linux preferably ubuntu

[03:45] <dthacker-lt> Hi, I want to create an ext3 filesystem on top of a logical volume.   How do I specifiy the device?
[03:45] <bullgard4> Why does my kernel need two modules (ahci and ata_piix) with almost the same function?
[03:45] <stefano> Gutsy Gibbons installs 2ice as fast as Feisty. P4 3.0GHz Gutsy in 20 mins.

[03:45] <g4lv4tr0n> hi if i run screen Xnest :1 -ac -geometry 1280x768 & DISPLAY=:1 /usr/bin/netbeans from terminal it works fine but if i create a menu item then click it the Xnest window never displays ???
[03:46] <staykovmarin> secretrk1314: what else do you want to see?

[03:46] <mon^rch> how do i run shell commands (sudo) automatically at login?
[03:46] <secretrk1314> are there any leaked copys?
[03:47] <g4lv4tr0n> or should i just make a shell script and reference to that
[03:47] <sslashes> secretrk1314: check out ubuntustudio http://ubuntustudio.org/
[03:47] <Dougie> kauel, have a look with what? I ripped the cd's in EAC and it encoded them in the command prompt with the FLAC program.
[03:47] <riotkittie> there dont need to be leaked copies. its available.
[03:47] <secretrk1314> but its not october?
[03:47] <riotkittie> just not easily found on the site, if a link to it is up
[03:47] <serenityUK> g4lv4tr0n, right click on applications and choose edit menus, then new item button
[03:47] <inbitado34> can i close gate Microsoft-ds, there are to many intents of invasion by there ???
[03:47] <riotkittie> secretrk1314: its in alpha at the moment, if not beta
[03:47] <dthacker-lt> secretrk1314: look for daily builds
[03:47] <secretrk1314> are there any risks?
[03:47] <Ice> how do you get internet explorer on wine?
[03:47] <LadyNikon> secretrk1314: read up and find out :D
[03:47] <g4lv4tr0n> yeah i made a new menu button but if i put the following in the command field nothing happens screen Xnest :1 -ac -geometry 1280x768 & DISPLAY=:1 /usr/bin/netbeans
[03:47] <riotkittie> secretrk1314: try #ubuntu+1   ... someone may be able to give you a link
[03:48] <Ice> nevermind!
[03:48] <masss> ubuntu recognize my wireless card and my wireless connection, yet i cant always connect and when i do the connection lasts 5 mins before i cant load anything again, someone have a idea guys
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Ice: #winehq can help with that..
[03:48] <g4lv4tr0n> maybe ill just make a shell script
[03:48] <abasinisvacant> do you move your laptop around, masss?
[03:48] <dthacker-lt> secretrk1314: lots of them.  go to ubuntu+1 and ask.
[03:48] <serenityUK> secretrk1314, i run gustsy as my main system.  the thing is there is about 50mb updates every day as bugs are fixed
[03:48] <JeevesMoss> what does it mean when a directory in shell shows up in a teal colour?
[03:48] <inbitado34> can i close gate Microsoft-ds, there are to many intents of invasion by there ???
[03:48] <masss> abasini nop its a sedentary laptop
[03:48] <Dougie> kauel, you there?
[03:49] <Jack_Sparrow> secretrk1314: You can dual boot Feisty and gutsy.. so you have a stable and a testing.. just in case
[03:49] <JeevesMoss> teal coloured directories, what do they mean?
[03:49] <secretrk1314> could i get fiesty and later easily upgrade to gutsy?
[03:49] <dthacker-lt> Hi.  I've used lvm to create a logical volume called "dbvg" and now I'd like to build an ext3 filesystem on it.
[03:49] <serenityUK> g4lv4tr0n, that would work.... also try 'quotes'
[03:49] <masss> abasinis  actually when i get to connect the connection is at 95%
[03:49] <Jack_Sparrow> secretrk1314: yes
[03:50] <secretrk1314> that i think i will just get fiesty unless gutsy comes out in a week
[03:50] <sslashes> dthacker-lt: mkfs.* on the /dev/md* device
[03:50] <jimcooncat> Jack_Sparrow: you got a link on installing dual-boot linux? All I've ever seen is for ubuntu/windoes
[03:50] <Keyseir> How do I burn a movie on a dvd so a regular dvd player will play it and it isn't just data?
[03:50] <serenityUK> secretrk1314, about 6weeks till gutsy
[03:50] <dthacker-lt> sslashes: looking in /dev.....
[03:50] <secretrk1314> k
[03:50] <abasinisvacant> masss hmm not sure what's wrong,  sorry.
[03:50] <inbitado34> can i close gate Microsoft-ds, there are to many intents of invasion by there ???
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> jimcooncat: let me look... it wasnt hard...
[03:50] <kaue1> Dougie: In a terminal window, do this: "od -xa filename | less". If they really are FLAC files, you will see the characters "FLAC" near the front of the file. If something has ID3 tagged the file, you may have to skip that header. Alternatively, in  a terminal window again, do "file filename"; it will tell you whether the file is a flac or an mp3.
[03:50] <riotkittie> jimcooncat: its basically the same although you will need to manually edit grub or lilo's menu in most cases
[03:50] <masss> abasinis   dont worry i dont know either lol
[03:51] <majorjrk> No rule to make target blah blah, while doing make or make module in lib/modules/kernel/build, can anyone help me ?
[03:51] <Dougie> kauel, ok hold on
[03:51] <jimcooncat> so I need a grub tutorial -- and a spare partition?
[03:51] <dthacker-lt> sslashes: there is no device matching md*
[03:51] <kersinc> #ubuntu-es
[03:51] <secretrk1314> serenityUK: What .iso mounter would you recomend on linux, such as daemon tools for windows.
[03:51] <riotkittie> jimcooncat: mmmhmmm.
[03:52] <sslashes> erm - i read that wrong - for some reason i was thinking raid - scratch that
[03:52] <biggahed> hello there. i just upgraded to gipsy and things went flawless. Just one thing: The fonts are kinda weird.got smaller and uglier everywhere. Any sugestions?
[03:52] <serenityUK> secretrk1314, iso is built into linux....    mount -o loop /some/file.iso  /mnt/directory
[03:52] <riotkittie> you dont need an iso mounter. you can mount it with -loop cant you?
[03:52] <riotkittie> yay :D
[03:52] <secretrk1314> i heard about that but what if the iso has protectoin
[03:52] <dthacker-lt> sslashes: nm, I found it.
[03:52] <kaue1> Dougie: Here is what file says about one of my flc files: "05-hamba_njalo.flac: Audio file with ID3 version 23.0 tag, MP3 encoding" which is very odd, now that I think about it!
[03:53] <riotkittie> protection as ... is something you dont owN?
[03:53] <serenityUK> secretrk1314, if it is an .iso file on you HD already it should work... sometimes you need to specify type such as    -t udf
[03:53] <kaue1> Dougie: Here is what file says about an MP3: "staging1/greensleeves.mp3: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1, 128 kBits, 44.1 kHz, Stereo"
[03:53] <secretrk1314> or as in i own and dont want to switch cd's all the time
[03:53] <Dougie> kauel, yeah same here says mp3
[03:54] <CzarAlex> Jack_Sparrow one more thing.. if i wanted to add a line to /etc/fstab so that /dev/hdd1 is mounted each time i start the system, what would that line look like? (the path to the end point is /media/stuff)
[03:54] <Dougie> 04 - Faith.flac: Audio file with ID3 version 23.0 tag, MP3 encoding
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !mount
[03:54] <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
[03:54] <masse> hi
[03:54] <CzarAlex> !fstab
[03:54] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[03:54] <Dougie> kauer, whats really strange is it doesn't do it with all my flac files.
[03:54] <masse> how can i add pictures in the wiki? on wiki.ubuntu.com
[03:55] <b14ck> why cant i play a dvd movie? It says permission denied. And when I run it as root (vlc that is) I get a bunch of errors when I try to open the dvd
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> CzarAlex: I like to use diskmounter....
[03:55] <riotkittie> secretrk1314: i'm not sure if the standard protections would affect linux the way that they do windows.
[03:55] <CzarAlex> Jack_Sparrow I was hoping to do it via cli.
[03:55] <masss> ok guys one more time just to see if someone is motivated ubuntu recognize my wireless card and my wireless connection, yet i cant always connect and when i do the connection lasts 5 mins before i cant load anything again, someone have an idea guys
[03:55] <kauer> I wonder if the ID3 tag is confusing things. Are these flac's tagged? I'm going to remove that tag and see if it recognises the flac file better.
[03:55] <shem> are there any good graphical interfaced     intrusion detection programs for the command line impaired?
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> CzarAlex: NOt sure how it will handle the newer uuid in fstab though
[03:55] <riotkittie> masss: i take it you dont have the same issue under windows?
[03:55] <Ryuragnas> I'm new new to ubuntu, and I'm wondering what vm I should use to run XP software?
[03:55] <Dougie> kauer, yeah i think they are all id3 tagged
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> CzarAlex: Yes, you can manually mount it..
[03:56] <masss> riotkittie  nop right now i m chatting on an other laptop running windows and it works perfectly
[03:56] <Scunizi> CzarAlex: you might use a line like /dev/hda1/media /hda1  ext3  defaults, rw, user 0 1
[03:56] <staykovmarin> what do you guys think of Exaile??
[03:56] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: i think amarok is better.. but thats my opinion.. what do you need it for?
[03:56] <oxygenws> Ryuragnas: use wine, it isn't vm
[03:56] <Dougie> kauer, I think you may be right because i check a file that doesn't have ID3 and its completely different
[03:56] <riotkittie> masss: what kind of card? what kind of chipset?  and was the wireless supported natively/out of the box? or did you have to toy around? ndiswrapper?
[03:57] <Dougie> kauer, 01 - Dream On.flac: FLAC audio bitstream data, 16 bit, stereo, 44.1 kHz, 11761764 samples
[03:57] <masse> how can i add pictures in the wiki? on wiki.ubuntu.com
[03:57] <serenityUK> Ryuragnas, if you are going to use VM,  VMServer is the best because it can use dual core... it is free you just need to get serial number from website
[03:57] <kauer> Dougie: When I click on a tagged FLAC, titem runs automatically and it correctly identifies the file as a FLAC.
[03:57] <staykovmarin> IndyGunFreak: well i love amarok... but i also love gnome. really don't like KDE much so i am looking for a nice alternative
[03:57] <riotkittie> speaking of wireless, brb. i must ogle eBay.
[03:57] <kauer> Dougie: What program is the default for you?
[03:57] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: well, you can nstall on amarok on Gnome, w/o installing KDE..
[03:57] <Scunizi> CzarAlex: spacing is off .. try.. /dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ext3 defaults, rw, user 0 1  ... You'll also have to create a directory in /media using "sudo mkdir /media/hda1  .. replace hda1 with hdd1
[03:57] <riotkittie> why not use amarok with gnome?
[03:57] <dthacker-lt> hmmm, the man page for mkfs has no fsoptions.  What is the option to make the fs mount at boot.?
[03:58] <Dougie> kauer, well i have it set to open with xmms. and it plays it as a flac but gnome pops up an error saying its actually encoded in mp3
[03:58] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: what do you need it or, syncing an ipod, or just music organizing, or what?
[03:58] <serenityUK> staykovmarin, Exalie is popular on systems with less resources such as xfce
[03:58] <NikoKaoJa> aa
[03:58] <h1st0> dthacker-lt: you need to at it in /etc/fstab
[03:58] <Jack_Sparrow> CzarAlex: mkdir /media/disk-2              sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_backup    sudo nano /etc/fstab   /dev/hdb1 /media/disk-1 ext3 defaults 0 0
[03:58] <israel> hey any girls in here
[03:58] <CzarAlex> Scunizi Perfect. thank you.
[03:58] <sslashes> is there anyone around who has information about usplash and the missing doc files for it in /usr/share/doc/usplash-dev/ ?
[03:58] <dthacker-lt> h1st0: ok, can do

[03:58] <ubotu> israel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:59] <Scunizi> CzarAlex: np  :-)

[03:59] <kevev> anyone know the latest version of alsa-drivers? I have 1.0.14.
[03:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Thanks
[03:59] <always123> stuck with vnc, its installed and when i connect all i see is an orange bar saying ubuntu
[03:59] <h1st0> kevev: apt-cache showpkg <packagename>
[03:59] <CzarAlex> Jack_Sparrow wait...his is different.
[03:59] <Brad_> Anyone willing to help me with a few basic gnome/ubuntu questions? Like, I use keyboard shortcuts in windows a lot, and I'm wondering what the gnome versions are, if they exist, and also if there is anything like the "run" dialog in windows... something that I can easily launch programs and urls from but not a terminal?
[04:00] <masss> riotkittie  so its a 88E88001 gigabit ethernet controller
[04:00] <kauer> Dougie: When I delete the ID3 tag off the front of the FLAc file, file correctly identifies it as FLAC. I think that's our problem.
[04:00] <h1st0> Brad_: alt+f2 to launch a run dialog
[04:00] <Scunizi> CzarAlex: there are different ways of accomplishing the same thing...
[04:00] <Jack_Sparrow> CzarAlex: IS yours sata?  as in sdb1
[04:00] <sslashes> Brad_: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shorcuts
[04:00] <CzarAlex> Scunizi I okay.
[04:00] <Howitzer> how do i change the font in a TTY?
[04:00] <kevev> h1st0: I dont want the latest in Ubuntu. I want the latest from the alsa project page.
[04:00] <staykovmarin> IndyGunFreak: well right now i don't habe an ipod, but i will be getting one soon. I just want a nice music player that fits the overall view of my desktop. organizing features are nice too
[04:00] <CzarAlex> Jack_Sparrow negative hdd1
[04:00] <Jack_Sparrow> CzarAlex: MOre than one way..
[04:00] <h1st0> kevev: well you just check their page then?
[04:00] <Dougie> kauer, ...thats a lot of files to change. Is there a way to mass remove ID3?
[04:00] <Brad_> Hmm, I suppose I can change what launches those urls in prefered applications?
[04:01] <untagetra> @Brad_: You can change your keyboard shortcuts in that window that scunzi mentioned too
[04:01] <kevev> ya. are the .rc# versions newer?
[04:01] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: well, i'll say this, exaile sucks for syncing an Ipod.. if you absolutely don't want amarok(which si the best for an ipod i think), look at Rhythmbox
[04:01] <Dougie> kauer, or better is there a way to turn that thing off where it checks to see if its actually a flac file?
[04:01] <Jack_Sparrow> CzarAlex: 4 drives... careful about the wattage on you psu.... there are sites to calc it...
[04:01] <masss> riotkittie     you there again
[04:01] <kauer> Dougie: There seesm to be a difference betweenhow you have tagged your files and how I have tagged mine. My tags don't stop any application playing the file, not doe they trigger Gone's warning.
[04:01] <kevev> h1st0: I have 1.0.14 there is 1.0.14-rc# versions.
[04:01] <shem> is there an equalizer for sound .   a stand alone one?  so to speak
[04:01] <untagetra> Brad_: I'm not sure what you mean but System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications is probably how you'd change which application it starts
[04:02] <CzarAlex> Jack_Sparrow I think I just have it plugged in funny. in total, 2 HD (includes this new one) and a CD rom drive
[04:02] <|neon|> question mii-tool reports been connected at 100 and ethtool reports speed to be 1000 on my nic connection which one should    i trust
[04:02] <h1st0> kevev: well then you probably have the latest minus whatever patches they have etc...  Does the version you have work?
[04:02] <h1st0> shem: alsamixer
[04:02] <h1st0> shem: scratch that.
[04:02] <Dougie> kauer, maybe you don't have that security feature enabled? or maybe running a differnet version of something.
[04:02] <kauer> Dougie: There are programs around that will removethe tags: I use Easytag, and it will go find everything in a directory tree and let you highlight them all, select "remove tag" then "save files" and they are gone...
[04:02] <Scunizi> CzarAlex: I have three drives and a video card (nv 6600gt) that requires a power connection.. I bumped up to a 600 watt psu.
[04:02] <staykovmarin> IndyGunFreak: i used Rhythmbox for a while, but didnt really care for it much. i would just use amarok but it looks so out of place on gnome
[04:02] <h1st0> shem: Are you looking for something like xmms?
[04:02] <h1st0> shem: its pretty much a winamp clone
[04:02] <Jack_Sparrow> CzarAlex: Ok... JUst checking
[04:03] <orudie> looking to multi-track in ubuntu studios , which modules multi-track with external USB adapter (usb sound card 5.1)
[04:03] <serenityUK> |neon|, you can usually tell by the colour of the lights on you router.. green or yellow lok it up.. you have to have agigabit router too!
[04:03] <Brad_> Well, that answers those, awesome... okay, I've been having a lot of trouble with firefox so I've been using epihpany, but I really prefer firefox... is there something going on with the current release of FF? My roommate uses ubuntu as well and has the same issue...
[04:03] <h1st0> orudie: did you try asking them?
[04:03] <shem> anything that i can adjust the properties of my outs
[04:03] <kauer> Dougie: I do have that feauture enabled - if (as I sometimes do) Imistakenly download the html page containing (say) a video rather than downloading the video itself, I get a warning that the file is names ads a video but is actually html...
[04:03] <Jack_Sparrow> CzarAlex: http://journeysystems.com/?powercalc         if you ever want to check...
[04:03] <kevev> h1st0: no. I have an ATI HDA SB450. It is a STAC92xx. Gateway Laptop MT-3705. Searched the net for months. Nobody had gotten alsa working on this chip.
[04:03] <h1st0> Brad_: what issues are you having?
[04:03] <untagetra> Brad_: What kind of trouble have you been having? Can you be specific?
[04:03] <Brad_> Sure, it just closes.
[04:03] <orudie> h1st0, asking who bro?
[04:03] <sslashes> Brad_: what issues?
[04:03] <majorjrk> anyone know what chan is for the native intel wifi drivers ?
[04:03] <shem> or a decent player that has one i guess
[04:03] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: um, well maybe banshee...
[04:03] <Brad_> Sorry, heh.
[04:03] <always123> stuck with vnc, its installed and when i connect all i see is an orange bar saying ubuntu
[04:04] <h1st0> kevev: ahh maybe check with the alsa people?
[04:04] <CzarAlex> Jack_Sparrow nifty. thanks!
[04:04] <untagetra> Brad_: Have you installed any extensions?
[04:04] <shem> ill try xmms
[04:04] <Brad_> It just closes sometimes, no error, no warning.
[04:04] <Brad_> Just flash.
[04:04] <shem> thx
[04:04] <h1st0> orudie: the ubuntu-studio peeps
[04:04] <h1st0> Brad_: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[04:04] <Brad_> And it seems to happen more when I'm using flash.
[04:04] <kevev> h1st0. OK. I have done that before. It seems as though they do not wish to persue the issue. I will try again.
[04:04] <Brad_> Feisty.
[04:04] <Dougie> kauer, hmm i don't know
[04:04] <staykovmarin> IndyGunFreak: it has good ipod support??
[04:05] <masss> if anyone is motivated guys    ubuntu recognizes my wireless card and my wireless connection, yet i cant always connect and when i do the connection lasts 5 mins before i cant load anything again, someone have an idea guys
[04:05] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: yeah... its a little more difficult than it needs to be to transfer(not as easy as amarok thats for sure), but its still not hard.
[04:05] <h1st0> Brad_: I don't really have it blowing up on me?  Maybe if you could narrow it down.  Or try launching firefox from a terminal window when you use it.  Then see when it crashes if it has any output.
[04:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Brad_: How did you install flash... have you ever used Automatix or envy scripts... both bad ideas by the way..
[04:05] <sslashes> Brad_: what flash package are you using?
[04:05] <kauer> Dougie: Are your ID3 tags at the front or at the end of the files? Are they ID3 or ID3.2 etc etc. I think there's just some little difference that lets mine sneak though.
[04:05] <Brad_> h1st0: I tried that, it didn't do anything.
[04:05] <Brad_> Jack_Sparrow: I did use Automatix, no envy scripts.
[04:05] <Dougie> kauer, they are ID3 not v2.... i'm pretty sure
[04:05] <|neon|> SerenityUK my router just have blur lights it is actually a D-Link Cable/DSL router with a giga switch in
[04:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !automatix
[04:06] <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.

[04:06] <|neon|> blue
[04:06] <Dougie> kauer, how do i check to see if they are at the beginning or end? I'm guessing beginning.
[04:06] <Brad_> sslashes: FF installed it automagically, I didn't.
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Brad_: That is where you should start fixing the problem...
[04:06] <john> Good evening everybody! I'm having an issue and I was hoping somebody could please help...
[04:06] <staykovmarin> IndyGunFreak: is there a separate tool just for ipods sync that you know of?
[04:06] <cizarr> are they any good paid proxy/socks provider u guys know?
[04:06] <sslashes> Brad_: you mean automatrix installed it?
[04:06] <Brad_> No.
[04:06] <h1st0> Brad_: automatix is most likely your problem.
[04:06] <Brad_> FF did.
[04:06] <cizarr> :(
[04:06] <sslashes> Brad_: run this in a terminal "dpkg - l | grep flash"
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: gtkpod
[04:07] <IndyGunFreak> but i don't care for it.
[04:07] <serenityUK> |neon|, ok well if you have onboard gigabit port the motherboad manual should say similar about the flashing lights on the back of your pc..
[04:07] <kauer> Dougie: Use "od -xa filename | less". If the ID3 tag is at the beginning, the first three characters of the file will be "ID3"...
[04:07] <Random832> i don't know anything about automatix, but is there any reason that, at least in the slashdot summary, it was called an "illegal software installer"?
[04:07] <kauer> Gotta go, bye....
[04:07] <orudie> h1st0, ok i'm their channel, but i cant' get audio to work with my usb sound card adapter, the sound works when i go test it in system-preferences-sound (all the testing there return an output sound to my headphones)
[04:07] <scipio> !automatix | Random832

[04:07] <shem> masss: do you have a wrt54g?
[04:07] <newpers> i did an apt-get install eclipse... and my computer has been stuck on "Setting up gij-4.1" since.
[04:07] <john> I reccently bought an HP deskjet F4140. Before making my purchase, I googled to see if Ubuntu-compatible drivers were available. I've downloaded the drivers but I'm having some difficulties with the install.
[04:07] <newpers> any ideas?
[04:07] <LogicalDash> I moved my Ubuntu partition and now Grub's giving me error 22 and not letting me boot. Anything I can do?
[04:07] <Random832> ok, but what's the descriptor "illegal software installer", in particular, supposed to mean - that was my question
[04:08] <untagetra> Random832: It can install some non-free (illegal in some countries) codecs like DVD
[04:08] <Brad_> If automatix is the issue, at least I know, I can test that by installing without it... but how do you know that it caused this?
[04:08] <Random832> don't just blindly send me an irrelevant response w/ keywords
[04:08] <john> I'm having trouble installing this: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Random832: Read the link on automatix.. it really messes up a system to the point of needing to reinstall Ubuntu in some cases
[04:08] <Brad_> Or what makes you suspect that it caused this? Is it common?
[04:08] <abhi> how can i make real player to play avi and wmv files?
[04:08] <Random832> untagetra: so can any of dozens of apt repositories
[04:08] <Dougie> kauer, yep at the beginning
[04:08] <untagetra> Random832: Like a DVD reader
[04:08] <sslashes> Brad_: run this in a terminal "dpkg - l | grep flash"
[04:08] <h1st0> orudie: I don't understand what you are saying.
[04:08] <Random832> and is that _all_ it installs?
[04:08] <Brad_> sslashes: Returns nothing.
[04:08] <MS_slayer> http://goodbyemicrosoft.net/news.php
[04:08] <untagetra> Random832: No, it has non-illegal things on there
[04:09] <Dougie> kauer, there a way i can move it to the end?
[04:09] <staykovmarin> IndyGunFreak: ehh doesn't look that great, i might install amarok just for an ipod =D
[04:09] <MS_slayer> :D
[04:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Brad_: MOst people dont have that problem... ones that do have odd problems... usually have used that script
[04:09] <masss> shem    what is a wrt54g
[04:09] <serenityUK> Random832, it gives you a menu to install about 50 applications such as google earth and all sorts
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: thats what i did, i hate kDE apps for the most part, but Amarok, it kills everything for IPod syncing
[04:09] <shem> your router
[04:09] <h1st0> Brad_: are you using 64bit ubuntu?
[04:09] <Brad_> Jack_Sparrow: "That" script?
[04:09] <Brad_> h1st0: No.
[04:09] <masss> shem     how can i check it plz
[04:09] <Random832> eh
[04:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Brad_: Yes.. That script... automatix
[04:10] <Random832> the race condition seems overblown on a single user system - when am i going to have apt or dpkg running and not know about it?
[04:10] <IndyLucian> gtkpod works great for me
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Brad_: TO install flash...   see the link...
[04:10] <shem> if its a newer lynksys wireless its probably a 54g.  or a belkin.. etc
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash > Brad_
[04:10] <mrfr01> I keep seeing themes with launcher icons at the bottom of the window, does anyone know what there are?  EXAMPLE: http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/61336-1.jpg
[04:10] <h1st0> Brad_: try going to about:plugins   in firefox
[04:10] <newpers> i did an apt-get install eclipse... and my computer has been stuck on "Setting up gij-4.1" since.  Is this a known bug, or should I kill dpkg and start again?
[04:10] <untagetra> Does anyone know of what resources the help file in the LIveCD booter is talking about when I can't get the LiveCD to boot?
[04:11] <masss> shem   ooh it s a sort of newer lynksys yeah
[04:11] <h1st0> mrfr01: thats avant window navigator
[04:11] <mrfr01> h1st0: Nice, thanks so much!
[04:11] <h1st0> mrfr01: or just a gnome bar made bigger.
[04:11] <untagetra> ...I can't get Ubuntu or any of its variants to get past the usplash (I think that's what it is?)
[04:11] <Dougie> kauer, are yours at the end?
[04:11] <Random832> # Has no internal dependency management. Unable to keep track of why
[04:11] <shem> type in a web browser        192.168.1.1          itll probably say
[04:11] <h1st0> mrfr01: both will accomplish the same thing but avant will look beter.
[04:11] <sslashes> Brad_: start with a fresh install - avoid any automation scripts - turn on nonfree repositories (uncomment some lines in /etc/apt/source.list - see http://ubuntuguide.org/ for help on that) and install flashplugin-nonfree (do this by typing sudo apt-get install <package_name>)
[04:12] <Random832> packages were installed,  - [ gah, should have just been one line, stupid paste]  - apt didn't have autoremove within very recent memory
[04:12] <Brad_> h1st0: I don't have an about in firefox... or anything that says plugins on the about firefox dialog... but in preferences where it says what to launch flash movies with flash is listed there.
[04:12] <abhi> how can i make real player to play avi and wmv files?
[04:12] <h1st0> Brad_: type in the URL field about:plugins
[04:12] <john> can somebody please help me?
[04:12] <urthmover> use vlc abhi
[04:12] <Brad_> sslashes: I'm getting the impression I shouldn't normally have flash....
[04:12] <h1st0> !ask | john
[04:12] <ubotu> john: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:12] <serenityUK> untagetra, try edit the boot options by pressing F6 and   remove the options    quiet & splash     that should give you a detailied eroor message that you can paste into google
[04:12] <scipio> newpers, you can kill it and try again i guess. you can repair broken packages in synaptic
[04:13] <Enul> this may sound like a dumb question but how do i move my recycle bin from the panel to my desktop?
[04:13] <mrfr01> Brad_: I think he's talking about typing in the address bar, about:plugin, just like you can modify the config by typing, about:config
[04:13] <shem> just cause i had the same problem .. i needed to update the firmware.    or even reset it with the reset button.    it was a certain model
[04:13] <Evanlec> anyone know quick way to make usb-jumpdrive into a bootable ubuntu live-cd ?

[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Brad_: We all have flash... most of us anyhow
[04:13] <john> I reccently bought an HP deskjet F4140. Before making my purchase, I googled to see if Ubuntu-compatible drivers were available. I've downloaded the drivers but I'm having some difficulties with the install.
[04:13] <john> I'm having trouble installing this: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/
[04:13] <h1st0> Enul: gconf-editor in terminal then you have to to go apps > nautilus > desktop and checkbox show trash
[04:13] <Bam2550> Is anyone here?
[04:13] <abhi> urthmover: But vlc does't give the best quality picture.
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> People,        play nice....  goodnight
[04:13] <warbler> Enil: gconf-editor can do that
[04:13] <Brad_> Jack_Sparrow: Not shouldn't as in shouldn't ever, but shouldn't as in you think I did it "wrong."
[04:13] <Bam2550> i guess so
[04:13] <masss> shem        its a d link di 254
[04:14] <serenityUK> gn Jack_Sparrow
[04:14] <untagetra> serenityUK: Thanks, I'll try
[04:14] <Brad_> Okay, in about:plugins it has Shockwave Flash.
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Brad_: Using automatix is wrong.. correct
[04:14] <sslashes> Brad_: not at all - there are just good and bad ways to install it - many people new to ubuntu reply on automatrix or it's alternatives to install a whole lot of stuff - but ultimately it makes things unstable and sometimes unusable - many people have learnt by using Automatrix and then realizing it screwed things up
[04:14] <Random832> you know what would be a nice feature to have in apt or dpkg?
[04:14] <h1st0> john: did you try using the drivers in ubuntu first?
[04:14] <Brad_> But why are you assuming I used automatix to install it?
[04:14] <Random832> when it can't get the lockfile, have it ask whether to quit or block, rather than just erroring out
[04:14] <faires> Does someone knows any software at the repository that opens .gp5 (Guitar Pro) files?
[04:14] <MS_slayer> john i believe ubuntu already has hplip installed
[04:14] <Bam2550> I burned the Ubuntu Linux ISO onto a CD then after it said complete i took out the CD and put it back in... then my computer just froze up and i couldnt do anything and nothing happened.... What did i do wrong?
[04:14] <john> h1st0: yes. they don't have directly matching (by series) drivers, but i tried its recommendation. it didn't print.
[04:14] <h1st0> Jack_Sparrow: he could have just used firefox to install it like I did there is no package then in dpkg
[04:15] <Brad_> That is what I did.
[04:15] <h1st0> john: ahh
[04:15] <bbrazil> Bam2550: did you reboot?
[04:15] <Enul> thanks guys
[04:15] <Bam2550> yes
[04:15] <Brad_> I didn't use automatix to install flash.
[04:15] <Bam2550> sort of
[04:15] <john> MS_slayer: yes, i have seen something that says "HPLIP Tools" - i'm not sure if that's the same thing (the screenshots looked different)
[04:15] <Brad_> And I don't seem to have the same trouble in epiphany.
[04:15] <Bam2550> er should i reboot with or without the CD in?
[04:15] <kou> jrib, can I pm you?
[04:15] <sslashes> h1st0: that has worked for me once - but never again (the automated ff flash plugin install) - normally it fails
[04:16] <bbrazil> Bam2550: with
[04:16] <Bam2550> i tried that
[04:16] <Bam2550> but it froze up
[04:16] <Bam2550> ...
[04:16] <Brad_> Sorry if I got you off on the wrong track there. It's really not the most important thing....
[04:16] <sslashes> Brad_: as there an origional, bigger question that got lost at some point? =P
[04:16] <warbler> Bam2550: you need to burn OS's at the slowest speed
[04:16] <masss> ubuntu recognize my wireless card and my wireless connection, yet i cant always connect and when i do the connection lasts 5 mins before i cant load anything again, someone have a idea guys
[04:17] <bbrazil> Bam2550: what type of computer is this? Which version of ubuntu did you burn?
[04:17] <sslashes> masss: this can be effected by the card driver to the firmware to a bad signal
[04:17] <john> i've tried both the installer and the manual install. i run into an issue with both. (the installer can't connect, and i don't remember what the issue of the manual install was)
[04:18] <Brad_> sslashes: I wouldn't say that, the firefox issue was just one question of many... you answered my "run" command and keyboard shortcuts questions.... uh, another one is what is a good newsreader for ubuntu? I tried pan, didn't much like it.
[04:18] <masss> sslashes  mmm and how do i fix this then, i download the new driver on this one and pass it by usb key right
[04:18] <sslashes> masss: we need more information - like card models, ubuntu version, etc, before i can even consider what might be wrong
[04:18] <always123> stuck with vnc, its installed and when i connect all i see is an orange bar saying ubuntu
[04:18] <masss> sslashes ubuntu 7.04  and its a 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet controller
[04:19] <bbrazil> masss: what's the dhcp lease timeout?
[04:19] <bbrazil> masss: that's not wireless, that's wired
[04:19] <sslashes> Brad_: sorry - can't help you there - not a huge newsreader fan - whenever i do i use Google Reader though
[04:19] <john> i was wrong. "HPLIP Tools" is what i was thinking of. it is already installed. but now i have a new issue: it says it can't recognize the printer.
[04:19] <Brad_> No worries.
[04:20] <MS_slayer> john, try installing another set of drivers database: gutenprint-foomatic
[04:20] <MS_slayer> !gutenprint
[04:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gutenprint - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:20] <MS_slayer> !foomatic
[04:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about foomatic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:20] <masss> bbrazil  lol sorry so the wireless is the WLAN right its unknown by ubuntu but it does recognize the connections
[04:20] <serenityUK> sslashes, Brad_ i second google reader.... if you want an ofline reader try  liferea
[04:20] <Brad_> I'll check it out.
[04:20] <masss> bbrazil   whats the dhcp by the way
[04:21] <MS_slayer> john: apt-get install foomatic-db-gutenprint
[04:21] <sslashes> Brad_: reader.google.com
[04:21] <john> MS_slayer: on the hplip web site, it specifically says my printer should be compatible. before trying something else, could you please help me get this to recognize it (since you were right, hplip is already installed)?
[04:21] <kou> pelo should get his lazy butt out any buy one?
[04:21] <serenityUK> Pelo, stick to the forums it's quieter lol
[04:21] <kou> lol
[04:21] <Brad_> Eh, I'll check it out too but I'm looking for an offline one.
[04:21] <Brad_> Thanks though.
[04:21] <Pelo> sudo kou lends Pelo money
[04:22] <kou> lol
[04:22] <untagetra> serenityUK: Starting up without splash and quiet options on the liveCD got the loader to start up when it never has before; will it be a problem if I install Ubuntu on there?
[04:22] <kou> lmao
[04:22] <MS_slayer> john, so when you try to add the printer using System > Administration > Printing, the printer is not listed?
[04:22] <bbrazil> masss: please pastebin the output of 'lspci', 'ifconfig -a', 'iwconfig'
[04:22] <serenityUK> untagetra, you mean you reached the desktop ok?  if so you can disable the logo after you install too
[04:23] <sslashes> Brad_: give this a look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512110
[04:23] <Brad_> Well I'm sure I'll have more questions but thanks a bunch, the run dialog is a huge help.
[04:23] <john> MS_slayer, that's correct. but when i open hplip, it has a prompt to setup the printer
[04:23] <masss> bbrazil   you want me to paste it here
[04:23] <Pelo> john, if your printer is missing from the list try one in the same family  like for cannon bj-230 I use bj-200
[04:23] <Enul> can someone please explain to me what this does? tar -xjf ./LiNsta_Icons_by_tiennou44.bz2
[04:23] <bbrazil> !pastebin | masss

[04:23] <untagetra> serenityUK: That's right, I'm to the desktop when I've never gotten that computer to the desktop before. It's pretty weird. Does it point to a lurking problem elsewhere?
[04:24] <Brad_> Ah, exactly what I was looking for.
[04:24] <kou> pelo: can you help me with lm-sensors issues?
[04:24] <PurpZeY> Can someone recommend a piece of software that will monitor the continuity of my wired connection, in a sense that even if I experience a slight drop it will be recorded?
[04:24] <|neon|> SerenityUK i checked my doc's and it does not say anything about lights i   am not using the onboard nic's i have a pci trendnet that works great under linux any thx
[04:24] <MS_slayer> john, Pelo is right
[04:24] <Pelo> kou,  state the issue
[04:24] <john> Pelo: yah, the series of this printer isn't found. the recommended choice was pretty off but i tried it anyway. it didn't work
[04:24] <kou> it doesn't detect anything on the core
[04:24] <serenityUK> untagetra, not really.. i can't boot the logo because of my 8800GTS card..
[04:24] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: as in the link is lost, or somthing further down the line goes?
[04:24] <Pelo> john,  consider playing around with the dpi
[04:24] <Brad_> Well, thanks again I may actually turn my last windows box ubuntu soon.
[04:25] <Brad_> Goodnight.
[04:25] <kou> Pelo, but I need to get a core reading
[04:25] <john> Pelo, what's dpi?
[04:25] <Pelo> kou, by core you mean cpu ?
[04:25] <untagetra> serenityUK: Thanks a bunch. I might just get this desktop off of Windows ME after all! :)
[04:25] <kou> yea
[04:25] <kou> temperature readings
[04:25] <yuefeng> hello
[04:25] <sslashes> KevinOman: is that a seriouse question
[04:25] <Pelo> john,   380x380  , 180x180 , stuff like that , a lower one might fix it ,
[04:25] <serenityUK> |neon|, i guess you could do speed test coping a file if you have another pc with gb too?
[04:25] <Enul> How do you tar something?
[04:26] <john> Pelo, oh, i see what you're saying.
[04:26] <Pelo> kou, hmm, what are you using to display ?
[04:26] <sslashes> Enul: man tar
[04:26] <serenityUK> untagetra, you might want to write this down....
[04:26] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> Hi i have a question
[04:26] <aoirthoir> Enul, tar -cf bla.tar path.to.file.or.dir
[04:26] <kou> Pelo, lm-sensors
[04:26] <yuefeng> 
[04:26] <KevinOman> sslashes, I can access my website from firefox, but no one with IE can get to it
[04:26] <aoirthoir> Enul, if you want it to be gziped you would tar -czf
[04:26] <kou> it's the only thing I canget to install
[04:26] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> ok well as you all know ubuntu come with 4 workspaces with out the desktop effects you just click the workspace and it brings you there with desktop effects enabled you have the option of using the all known Desktop Cube to view all 4 of your workspaces...for some odd reason i only have one workspace and cannot switch to a diffrent one
[04:26] <john> Pelo, i'd still really like to get hplip to properly recognize the device. you see, it's an all-in-one type of printer (print, scan, copy)
[04:26] <untagetra> serenityUK: ready
[04:26] <aoirthoir> replace bla.tar with bla.tar.gz
[04:26] <Pelo> kou, lm-sensor is the module,  it doesnt diskplay
[04:26] <sslashes> KevinOman: whats the website?
[04:26] <cizarr> hi, any good proxy checker for nix system??
[04:26] <cizarr> check by list
[04:26] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: Well, I am having an issue with my wireless connectivity. I also have a wired computer (this one) and what I'd like to do is monitor the connection I am receiving from my wired router here, so that I can verify if it is something on the wireless side causing the lost connections to the outside world, the wired router, the wireless access point, or my cable line.
[04:26] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> does anyone have any idea on how to fix that?

[04:26] <Enul> i was told to run this tar -xjf ./LiNsta_Icons_by_tiennou44.bz2 but i dont knwo what it does

[04:27] <MS_slayer> wow chinese IRC, cool. the fonts show up
[04:27] <kou> Pelo, what reads then?

[04:27] <Pelo> kou, try following he instructions in this guide, that's the only thing I can recommend  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[04:27] <Enul> oic.. so what does mv ./LiNsta-0.3 ~/.icons/ do?

[04:27] <radioaktivstorm> hello, i am having issues with my wifi... i was trying to get it to work with an open network and now it does not work with the roaming mode. can someone tell me how to reset the configuration of my wireless without having to redo the setting up of drivers (i have one of those not so fun broadcom ones)
[04:27] <serenityUK> untagetra, after install the flie you want to edit a file:    sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst      and scroll down and delete the splash word... don't worry about quiet
[04:27] <john> Pelo, thanks :)
[04:27] <corrupt> !java
[04:27] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[04:28] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> does anyone know how to fix my problem?
[04:28] <corrupt> thanks
[04:28] <sslashes> Enul: moves the first folder into the second folder
[04:28] <Pelo> corrupt,  in synaptic,  enable the backport repos and serch for sun-java
[04:28] <untagetra> serenityUK: Thanks a bunch
[04:28] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: 30 secondish...What I know for sure is 1) This problem is not limited to ubuntu/linux, 2) It is not an issue of signal strength with wireless.
[04:28] <kou> Pelo, same applies for gutsy?
[04:28] <Pelo> kou,  it should
[04:28] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: I'd go for smokeping with say a 10s interval
[04:28] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: I am not seeing these drops on my desktop, but they are brief enough, from time to time that I might not notice if I weren't here...e.g. on my laptop
[04:28] <Frogzoo> kou: -> #ubuntu+1
[04:29] <serenityUK> untagetra, if you can't boot up at all you can edit the boot option for GRUB menu on the fly.... press e to edit there is instructions   then just delete splash like you did before..
[04:29] <bullgard4> What does Synaptic mean by 'kernel tree' in its sentence: "For 2.4 kernels, this requires either installing prebuild modules or building them using the lm-sensors-source package. For 2.6 kernels, use the modules that are already in the kernel tree."
[04:29] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: that in the repositories?
[04:29] <KevinOman> sslashes: I sent you a pm with the link
[04:29] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: should be
[04:29] <AzMoo[w] > Hey, does anybody know how I can share a modem (the device, not the connection) over a network?
[04:29] <Pelo> john,  this would be a usb pinter right ?  have you ennable the auto printer recognition in menu  > system > prefs > removable media
[04:29] <bruenig> bullgard4, the module is a default part of the kernel
[04:29] <serenityUK> untagetra, you should only need to do that in emergency normally you can just edit the file it will remember
[04:29] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: easier might be to leave some pings running in a terminal with a good bith of scrollback
[04:29] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: *bit
[04:29] <untagetra> serenityUK: Will that apply if I'm not dual-booting?
[04:30] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: easier than smokeping?
[04:30] <masss443> bbrazil   sorry i dropped   so here i got the outputs you want me to send them to you right
[04:30] <Pelo> bullgard4, think of he kernel as a tree with the big stuff being the trunk and the rest being smaller and smaller branches
[04:30] <john> Pelo, i didn't know that existed. let me give it a check...
[04:30] <kou> thanks Pelo
[04:30] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: it's pretty much what smokeping does, but without the graphs and stats
[04:30] <serenityUK> untagetra, yes you still have a GRUB menu anyway so that you can enter recomvery mode and stuff..  when you get a new kernel it adds a new menu option sso you can go back if you have problems
[04:30] <Pelo> john, I think it only recognises that you have usb devices
[04:30] <serenityUK> untagetra, recovery*
[04:31] <bullgard4> Pelo: What is the root of that tree?
[04:31] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: graphs are good..we like pictures..: )...I am pretty sure it is a wireless issue, but I want to make sure it isn't my line or router before I fight with the manufacturer about it.
[04:31] <Pelo> bruenig,  simple analogies for simple questions

[04:31] <krbrowning> does anyone know how to configure fetchmail to forward to gmail. I'm finding the man file a bit cryptic. should i be using something else besides fetchmail?
[04:31] <serenityUK> np
[04:31] <Pelo> bullgard4,  donT'  be a smartass
[04:31] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: well, wireless issue could just be interferance
[04:31] <bruenig> Pelo, you opened yourself up
[04:31] <Pelo> bruenig, I did
[04:31] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: So, is it safe, e.g. in terms of bandwidth and upsetting whatever server I am pinging to do it every 10 secs.?
[04:32] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: yeah, ping packets are small
[04:32] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: smokeping sends 20 at a time though
[04:32] <Thunderfox933> how can i convert videos
[04:32] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: probably hardcode to ip addresses, isolate yourself from dns issues
[04:32] <Pelo> Thunderfox933, avidemux
[04:32] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: That was my original thought, but I've identified all of the other networks in my area, I am on a channel that is completely unoccupied and using a 15 dbi antenna to send a signal probably, 50-75 feet.
[04:32] <Thunderfox933> can that convert videos to audio
[04:32] <dras> Who here shares with samba from vista, to your linux ? Is it slowwww for you ?
[04:33] <dras> i cant even stream a movie
[04:33] <serenityUK> |neon|, are you using IDE drives,  are you sure DMA is enabled?
[04:33] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: channels overlap
[04:33] <dras> it freezes up every minute
[04:33] <Pelo> Thunderfox933, no idea , let me know
[04:33] <c01100011> trying to use wenga , don't think it has vfl2 support, is there a work around, channeling my video perhaps ?
[04:33] <bruenig> Thunderfox933, yes
[04:33] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: I am on 3. The other two in my area are on 9 and 11. What do you mean about hardcoding IPs?
[04:33] <c01100011> v4l2*
[04:33] <masss443> mmm
[04:33] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: use ip addresses rather than domain names
[04:33] <|neon|> SerenityUK  yes i do i have clarkSerenityUK i am using SerialATA on the motherboard controller intel
[04:34] <|neon|> SerenityUK i am using SerialATA on the motherboard controller intel
[04:34] <dthacker-lt> !fstab
[04:34] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[04:34] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: Oh for pinging...got it...Would google be a safe bet to ping? and how long would you recommend setting it to go for -- 12 hours?
[04:34] <Pelo> dras,  also try asking in #samba they might have answers for you
[04:34] <b14ck> Does the sendmail package include a mail server on your machine? And if so, does it run automatically once it is installed?
[04:35] <dras> wow a samba chan, thanks pelo
[04:35] <ptrmb> hi, how do you access a SATA DVD drive in Ubuntu?
[04:36] <corrupt> !sound
[04:36] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[04:36] <Ashfire908> what text-based (command line usable) programs are there
[04:36] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> how do i get into the xorg.conf file?
[04:36] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> i forgot
[04:36] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: usually your router, everything on your home network, one or two hosts of your isp and one random internet site
[04:36] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> i need to edit it
[04:37] <bruenig> Ashfire908, for what purpose, there is cli stuff for just about everything
[04:37] <Ashfire908> oops lol what text based WEB BROSWERS are there?
[04:37] <bbrazil> b14ck: should do
[04:37] <Pelo> LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR,  sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:37] <john> Pelo, i had managed to make hplip manually recognize the printer. but now it says it's busy or offline. i tried doing a test print but it's not working.
[04:37] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: How can i determine hosts of my ISP?
[04:37] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> o ok
[04:37] <serenityUK> Ashfire908, i recommend link2
[04:37] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> thank you
[04:37] <serenityUK> Ashfire908, sorry links2
[04:37] <bruenig> Ashfire908, lynx w3m links
[04:37] <bullgard4> bruenig: I have no problem to understand your sentence: " the module is a default part of the kernel." I have a problem to understand what Synaptic considers a 'kernel tree'. So, what is a kernel tree, please?
[04:37] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: use their website, or dns servers or mail servers or something
[04:37] <|neon|> SerenityUK  does DMA needs to be enable on a serial ata drive also?
[04:37] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: if you can get the far end of your cable line, that's good (use traceroute)
[04:38] <Pelo> john, I've heard other mention that ,  check that there are no jobs waiting,  that the printer is powered on , online and that there is paper in it ,  ie the regular stuff
[04:38] <staykovmarin> is an NVidia 7600 a good enough card to do the Desktop Cube??
[04:38] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> Pelo: it isnt poping up
[04:38] <serenityUK> Ashfire908, if you enable the framebuffer... links2 can even draw picture in text mode  with option  links2 -g
[04:38] <bruenig> bullgard4, the default kernel tree, as in the module is included with the kernel itself instead of as a supplement provided by a third party
[04:38] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> Pelo: why?
[04:38] <masss443> bbrazil   here you got   eth1 IEEE 802.11b g  mode managed  frequency 2.492 GHz access point 00 19 5B 00 55 6B  bit rate 1 mb s  link quality 0 signal level 0 noise level 0   and all rx invalid are in 0
[04:38] <serenityUK> |neon|, no sata do not use dma
[04:38] <Pelo> LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR,     X one one , not X L L ,  and remember linux is case sensitive
[04:38] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> i know i copy pasted it
[04:38] <|neon|> serenityUK: ok thx
[04:38] <Pelo> LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR, and if you are using kde use  kate , not gedit
[04:39] <john> Pelo, there weren't any jobs waiting until i attempted the test prints. it is on and plugged in.
[04:39] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> im using feisty

[04:39] <bruenig> Enul, how did you .tar.gz it?
[04:39] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: What do you mean the far end -- you mean something that my ISP is operating? e.g. their "customer my homepage" if I were to have my browser set to it
[04:39] <YoshiBishi> I am having trouble setting up ubuntu as a printer server
[04:39] <Enul> i used the archive manager
[04:39] <Pelo> john, try turning off the auto recognise thingy

[04:39] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: whatever your modem talks to
[04:39] <bruenig> Enul, try doing it from command line, tar czpf whatever.tar.gz whatever
[04:40] <masss443> bbrazil   no im not connected, its part of the problem though ^^
[04:40] <Pelo> LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR,  lets try againg in case I made a typo    sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:40] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: I am sorry to ask redundant questions...How do I trace that back? Traceroute my IP?
[04:40] <Enul> i dont know how to do that bruenig i'm new to linux.. this is my first day and i'm afraid windows has spoiled me
[04:40] <bruenig> Enul, open the terminal, from the menus and go for it
[04:40] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> Pelo: it doesnt work
[04:40] <cheeseboy> how do i play a generic tone/sound to test my speakers?
[04:41] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: traceroute www.random.com, and the entry after your router
[04:41] <Azarem> im looking for a way to backup the contents of a usb drve every time i plug it it
[04:41] <serenityUK> staykovmarin, my god yes... i used to run beryl on me olf geforce 3 64mb!!!
[04:41] <Pelo> LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR, open up nautilus and browse to the folder  see if the file is there
[04:41] <Enul> terminal is open.. can you explain the pathing to me please
[04:41] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> Pelo: im going to restart my computer and then retry it ok
[04:41] <bruenig> Enul, ok do "pwd" and you will see where you are
[04:41] <armyriad> I have a big problem. I renamed my sister's home folder and now she can't log into her account.
[04:41] <Pelo> LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR, sure
[04:41] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: Ok, got it. Is traceroute a package installed by default or do I need to apt-get it?
[04:41] <|neon|> does ubuntu plays ok with linux raid , that's what i set up on the file server two 500 gbs on linux raid and the a small hd for the os installed i have two wd raptors i could use to set ubuntu on don't know if linux raid will work ok or not
[04:41] <Enul> i am at /home/steven
[04:42] <bruenig> Enul, everything in linux starts from /, / is like C:, and goes down
[04:42] <Enul> how do i change directory
[04:42] <staykovmarin> serenityUK: i looove having a job =D. i can afford all these really cool toys, instead of having to bum parts off of friends to build crappy machines =D
[04:42] <Azarem> Im looking for a way to back up the contents of my usb drive every time i plug it in
[04:42] <bruenig> Enul, cd directory
[04:42] <bruenig> Enul, do "ls" to see the contents of your directory
[04:42] <Pelo> Azalyn, something with scritps and udev rules,  but I've never manage to make it work, I'm not very good at this stuff,  but that is where I was told to look , I got halfway to it but I had a small issue
[04:42] <bbrazil> PurpZeY: looks like its not there be default, which is kinda odd
[04:42] <bullgard4> cheeseboy: Gnome main menu System > Preferences > Audio. Press any of the test buttons there
[04:42] <serenityUK> staykovmarin, i said my old machine lol... i have an 8GB core2duo with 8800GTS now
[04:42] <always123> stuck with vnc, its installed and when i connect all i see is an orange bar saying ubuntu
[04:43] <Pelo> Enul, bookmark this for further reference  http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[04:43] <rml> I just downloaded Aegis Virus Scanner from the Package Manager and can't find it. Help.
[04:43] <Azarem> any ideas about the usb drive issue?
[04:43] <bruenig> Azarem, how is the drive mounted?
[04:43] <Pelo> Azarem, something with scritps and udev rules,  but I've never manage to make it work, I'm not very good at this stuff,  but that is where I was told to look , I got halfway to it but I had a small issue
[04:44] <Azarem> bruengig, what do u mean?
[04:44] <Enul> ok thanks i'll study that page awhile Pelo
[04:44] <john> Pelo, when i just noticed this: when i try printing a test page, the printer lights start flashing and the little screen as a big E (i assume for "Error!")
[04:44] <ptrmb> how do you get Linux to recognise SATA DVD drives?
[04:44] <|neon|> ptrmb: my burner is saaata and was recognize auto by ubuntu
[04:44] <b14ck> why isnt sendmail working for me
[04:44] <Pelo> john,  check for an error number and see what your manual has to say about it
[04:45] <an0malist> how do I do sudo in a script? like pass the password
[04:45] <bruenig> Azarem, ok when you plug it in, is it automagically mounting?
[04:45] <staykovmarin> serenityUK: ok your compy beats mine... beats mine to death actually. But it runs ok on am AMD 64 2.6 2gb 7600... not bad for 700$ i think
[04:45] <john> Pelo, where would i find an error number?
[04:45] <ptrmb> |neon|, any ideas on what I can try since mine isn't showing up?
[04:45] <bruenig> an0malist, just run the script itself with sudo
[04:45] <beg1689> hey guys, anyone know how i can get the xfce menu on my xfce panel? i installed xfce4-panel but i dont see the menu listed as an applet
[04:45] <ptrmb> it shows up  fine in the BIOS
[04:45] <bullgard4> ptrmb: Do you use the 2.6.20-generic kernel? It recognized my SATA DVD drive automatically when I installed Ubuntu.
[04:46] <Pelo> an0malist, put it at the begining of the script and when you run it  do sudo scriptname.bin ( or whatever)  gksu if you want to get a dialog
[04:46] <Pelo> john,  printer display ? I'm just guessing here
[04:46] <Pelo> beg1689, ricgtclick the pannel , add to panel  it's in the options
[04:46] <armyriad> I renamed my sister's home folder and now she can't log into her account. How can I fix this without renaming the folder back?
[04:47] <john> Pelo, on the printer display it just at that "E"
[04:47] <bruenig> armyriad, you can't
[04:47] <an0malist> Pelo: how do I pass the password to the sudo command right in one line? rather than wait for a prompt
[04:47] <Pelo> armyriad, change her login name
[04:47] <beg1689> Pelo: not there, im missing something
[04:47] <bruenig> armyriad, or I suppose you could create a new username to match the new name of the directory
[04:47] <jrib> armyriad: see 'man usermod'
[04:47] <serenityUK> staykovmarin, don't worry it's brand new..  my old was amd 1.3 with 1gb and gf3 64mb
[04:47] <bbrazil> bruenig: that won't work - UID/GID will be different
[04:47] <Pelo> an0malist,  use gksu I thnk , you'll get the dialog box for the gui apps
[04:47] <bruenig> bbrazil, ah true
[04:48] <an0malist> hehe i dont want that.. i want to issue a command and have the program run.. one line
[04:48] <PurpZeY> bbrazil: Thanks for the help.
[04:48] <ptrmb> bullgard4, I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 - I don't know the kernel version unfortunately
[04:48] <bruenig> an0malist, you want to make a sudoers exception for that script
[04:48] <wastrel> uname -r for kernel version
[04:49] <an0malist> ohhh
[04:49] <an0malist> good ideaaa
[04:49] <bullgard4> ptrmb: do 'uname -r' in a terminal window.
[04:49] <Pelo> an0malist,  the first line of command  in the script  ater the !bin stuff ,    sudo ,    then run the script with sudo
[04:49] <staykovmarin> serenityUK: ehh this little guy does everything i want.. my last machine was soo crappy that this still feels cutting edge to me even though its almost a year old
[04:49] <ptrmb> 2.6.20-15-generic
[04:49] <an0malist> bruenig: how do I do it?
[04:49] <an0malist> bruenig: just kidding ;)
[04:50] <an0malist> Pelo: Gotcha
[04:50] <serenityUK> staykovmarin, and that ram was sdram not even ddr1
[04:50] <staykovmarin> serenityUK: wowie... back in the day!!
[04:50] <serenityUK> staykovmarin, served me well since 2001
[04:51] <masss443> troubled   you there
[04:51] <always123> stuck with vnc, its installed and when i connect all i see is an orange bar saying ubuntu
[04:51] <Scunizi> staykovmarin: serenityUK back in the day?  How 'bout old CPM machines?
[04:51] <serenityUK> i go back to 8bit amstrad and bbc
[04:52] <bullgard4> ptrmb: So this kernel should have recognized your SATA DVD device automatically. If it did not my suggestion is to analyze the dmesg log for an error on that.
[04:52] <serenityUK> 64k ram lol
[04:52] <ptrmb> bullgard4, how/where do I do that?
[04:52] <staykovmarin> Scunizi: the first compy i had was a win2k way to make me feel little
[04:52] <Pelo> ohhhh rich kid
[04:52] <serenityUK> im only 27
[04:52] <fghgwrgkjf> Oh my
[04:52] <serenityUK> early start about 5yo
[04:52] <staykovmarin> ehh i am 19
[04:53] <serenityUK> in 85
[04:53] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> Pelo:hey im back now what was that command you gave me?
[04:53] <Scunizi> serenityUK: staykovmarin .. got you beat.. TRS-80 model 1 (47 yrs.)
[04:53] <Pelo> LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR, are you running kubuntu or ubuntu ?
[04:53] <wastrel> ti-99/4a
[04:53] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> ubuntu
[04:53] <Ashfire908> what text-based web broswers are there?
[04:53] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> feisty
[04:53] <bullgard4> ptrmb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxLogFiles
[04:53] <staykovmarin> Ashfire908: links
[04:53] <Pelo> LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR, sudo gedit /ect/X11/xorg.conf
[04:53] <jshaffer> is there a way to get apt-get to ignore conflicts? python-psycopg and python-sqlalchemy conflict because they don't always work together... but i won't be using them together, and i need each for different apps
[04:53] <serenityUK> Scunizi, ram?
[04:53] <wastrel> Ashfire908:  elinks, w3m, lynx
[04:54] <Pelo> wastrel,  I had one of those
[04:54] <armyriad> jrib: Thanks. The "usermod" command did the trick.
[04:54] <bruenig> jshaffer, there are direct file conflicts?
[04:54] <Scunizi> serenityUK: staykovmarin the model 1 had a max of 4K (that's K) of ram with one floppy, voice synth box and mic
[04:54] <jshaffer> apt-get says this: python-sqlalchemy: Conflicts: python-psycopg but 1.1.21-13ubuntu1 is to be installed
[04:54] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> Pelo: thank you
[04:54] <w0nder> newbie question: when editing .conf files, what if an entry goes over the next tab? does that make sense?
[04:54] <staykovmarin> Scunizi:  serenityUK: you got to be kidding me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80
[04:54] <jshaffer> there aren't any problems with files. it's just an attribute of the python-sqlalchemy package
[04:55] <staykovmarin> Scunizi: what did you do with that!?
[04:55] <lorph> is there an easy way to search repositories, i need to fine libjpeg
[04:55] <jrib> !apt > lorph (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:55] <lorph> find*
[04:55] <serenityUK> nice i had a sinclair with 4k but i was too young.. i remember 64k bbc though
[04:55] <jrib> armyriad: np, glad you sorted it out
[04:55] <therealnanotube> lorph: "apt-cache search blabla"
[04:55] <Pelo> w0nder,  no it deosn'T  tabs are seperators
[04:55] <rml> Downloaded Aegis Virus Scanner and it's not in Applications. Anyone know where I can find it? I'm new to Ubuntu.
[04:55] <Pelo> w0nder,  meanning colums don'T have to be aligned
[04:56] <jrib> rml: why do you want it?
[04:56] <Scunizi> serenityUK: staykovmarin had a 15 yr old kid write an inventory control prog in basic. Used a walkie talkie with a touchtone keypad soldered into it to enter numbers. It sent to a scanner, out from the speaker into the mic of the computer.
[04:56] <w0nder> Pelo: so even if the entries don't line up under each tab right, the tab itself will separate the values?
[04:56] <mboso> what is a safe non-free repo to add to get w32codecs?
[04:56] <lorph> thx
[04:56] <jrib> !w32codecs > mboso (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:56] <ptrmb> bullgard4, what line in the dmesg log file should I be looking for?
[04:56] <therealnanotube> w0nder: yes
[04:56] <rml> jrib: came from the dark side and still want to be safe
[04:56] <therealnanotube> mboso: medibuntu.
[04:56] <w0nder> cool.. glad you guys understood what i meant lol
[04:56] <w0nder> thx dudes
[04:56] <therealnanotube> !medibuntu | mboso
[04:56] <ubotu> mboso: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[04:56] <mboso> !w32codecs
[04:56] <Pelo> w0nder,  each line is treated independently,  the colums are just for show

[04:57] <ubotu> rml: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[04:57] <mboso> great: thanks guys
[04:57] <tego> There was an error creating the child process for this terminal when i record from streamtuner
[04:57] <therealnanotube> w0nder: have fun. :)
[04:57] <serenityUK> Scunizi, yeah i started on basic.. $inkey string lol
[04:57] <staykovmarin> Scunizi: serenityUK: that sounds really cool. if i could afford it, i would do robotics programming in java... but i am cheap, so i stick with software
[04:57] <jrib> rml: there isn't much point in running a virus scanner unless you're a server for windows mail really
[04:57] <serenityUK> Scunizi, now i doo c++ templates etc
[04:57] <Pelo> tego,  look up the exact error msg in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[04:57] <therealnanotube> w0nder: all credit goes to Pelo for actually understanding what you meant - cuz i didn't until he clarified :)
[04:58] <Scunizi> serenityUK: see now your ahead of me.. I never learned how to program.
[04:58] <bullgard4> ptrmb: I cannot specify the line number. Look for the identifier of your DVD device. The grep utility can help finding it in that many lines.
[04:58] <john> Pelo, i think i might know why the web site (of hplip) says it supports my printer but the preinstalled version isn't properly working: the website's version is 2.7.7 and the preinstalled version is 1.7.3
[04:58] <Enul> i dunno.. i still cant get it to work
[04:58] <rml> jrib: I'm not. So I should just relax.
[04:58] <Pelo> john, interesting, can you upgrade ?
[04:58] <therealnanotube> rml: yea, relax. :)
[04:58] <jrib> rml: exactly
[04:58] <john> Pelo, unfortunately, i do not see an "update" option in hplip...
[04:59] <john> Pelo: thanks :-D
[04:59] <dangerous666> does someone have a playtv 8000gt TV card?
[04:59] <Pelo> john,  get the driver and install it yourself,  I didn,t mean upgrade button I just meant get the newer driver
[04:59] <rml> jrib: OK, I will..... but where is that application. Just want to know why I can't find it. thx
[04:59] <Pelo> dangerous666, look up the model in the forum see ifthere are any comments
[05:00] <jrib> rml: I've never used it, but this command will list all the files installed by a package:  dpkg -L PACKAGE_NAME
[05:00] <dangerous666> Pelo I have alredy... =T
[05:00] <Galga> hi

[05:00] <Bam2550|brb> im about to burn the ubuntu iso to a CD, what speed should i use? (im in no hurry_
[05:00] <jrib> rml: stuff that you can execute usually ends up in a "bin" folder like /usr/bin
[05:00] <Galga> i m trying to update the available kernel, but its failing again and again
[05:00] <Pelo> if this keeps up i'll be out of a job
[05:00] <lorph> !apt > lorph
[05:00] <ptrmb> bullgard4, by identifier I'm guessing you mean "dvd" or "cdrom", but neither of these show up in the log file. If I'm wrong re: the identifier, can you point me in the right direction?
[05:01] <Scunizi> kidbuntu: yep. I just haven't figured out how to yet..
[05:01] <john> Pelo: doesn't that bring us back to the beginning? i'd have to remove hplip from ubuntu (by unchecking the box, lol in "Add/Remove Applications") and then i'd have to try to get the installer working from the website
[05:01] <Pelo> Galga, automated update from the update manager or are you trying to do this manualy ?
[05:01] <Enul> is this correct tar -czf /home/username/Desktop/filename /home/username/Desktop/filename.tar.gz ?
[05:01] <Scunizi> kidbuntu: you can alway ask on the gimp irc channel
[05:01] <Pelo> john, does the website have a linux version ?
[05:01] <Bam2550|brb> Whats the best speed to burn the iso???
[05:01] <rml> jrib: that's good to know. I guess I'm not in Windows anymore.
[05:01] <nickrud> Pelo you're appointed, it's not that easy (makes me laugh, seeing that first thing)
[05:01] <Pelo> Bam2550|brb, 1x
[05:01] <Bam2550|brb> 1x?
[05:01] <kidbuntu> #gimp
[05:01] <bruenig> Enul, switch the last two arguments, and the - before czf is not necessary, and it is a good idea to do czpf so that it preserves the permissions
[05:01] <Bam2550|brb> why is that the best
[05:02] <kidbuntu> join #gimp
[05:02] <Scunizi> anyone know if k3b will allow you to create menus?
[05:02] <Pelo> nickrud, ?
[05:02] <Scunizi> kidbuntu: yep.. I think  .. hang on I'll check.
[05:02] <nickrud> out of a job, really
[05:02] <bruenig> Enul, also realize that if you are in /home/username/Desktop, that is if you are cded into it, you don't have to do the full path, you can use a relative path, or in your example just "filename"
[05:02] <Pelo> kidbuntu,   /join ...
[05:02] <PinkFloyd> Is there any way to share a printer that is connected to an Ubuntu Server so that a Windows computer can use it?
[05:02] <john> Pelo: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/ - that's hp linux drivers. but on hp's actual driver site, no, they never mention linux anywhere...
[05:02] <kidbuntu> oops sorry
[05:02] <Enul> ok so its tar czpf /home/username/Desktop/filename.tar.gz /home/username/Desktop/filename ?
[05:02] <rockets> PinkFloyd, samba
[05:02] <kidbuntu> and thanks
[05:02] <emeriste> I thought that Ubuntu was naming its releases like hurricanes where you increment a letter of the alphabet each time for the alliteration.
[05:02] <Pelo> john,  let me have a look
[05:03] <PinkFloyd> rockets, is there a guide to do so?
[05:03] <serenityUK> Scunizi, makes me laugh how i used to do raytracing on a 2mb amiga and now i have 4mb cache on my cpu
[05:03] <Scunizi> kidbuntu: #gimp on irc.gimp.org
[05:03] <bruenig> Enul, yeah, but if you do cd /home/username/Desktop, then you can just do filename.tar.gz and filename instead of the whole path
[05:03] <john> Pelo: ironically, though, because it appears hplip is actually maintained by HP!
[05:03] <Enul> ah thank you bruenig
[05:03] <emeriste> Because it was Edgy Eft and then Feisty Fawn.
[05:03] <macogw> i put a cd in my disk drive (i had to use a paperclip to open it because right-click->eject in nautilus said it couldnt unmount as there's no media in the drive, and the button on the drive didnt work), and it didnt automount and it wont mount in nautilus
[05:03] <emeriste> But then how come it was an H name twice?
[05:03] <Pelo> john,  do you know how to install a .run file ?
[05:04] <beeew> how would i do a curl -i localhost:80?
[05:04] <beeew> in ubuntu?
[05:04] <jshaffer> "dpkg -i --force-conflicts" worked
[05:04] <serenityUK> macogw, try sudo eject /dev/cdrom
[05:05] <john> Pelo: i did manage to run the .run file and get through most of the installation. it messes up at the very end.
[05:05] <macogw> serenityUK: nothing happened
[05:05] <Pelo> john, got any error msg ?
[05:05] <PinkFloyd> rockets, is there a guide for Samba print sharing for console?
[05:05] <Galga> Pelo, using the update manager
[05:05] <rockets> PinkFloyd, could be :-D
[05:05] <PinkFloyd> rockets, you dont know of one, do you? :p
[05:05] <rockets> PinkFloyd, nope, sorry.
[05:05] <john> Pelo, let me run it again and i can give you some...
[05:06] <corrupt> does anyone know how to install a wpa_supplicant.conf file?
[05:06] <PinkFloyd> rockets, ok thanks anyway
[05:06] <Random832> whoa - on my linux install, there's a character at 0xF000 in the private use area, that shows as a seven-segment display, the size in pixels the font is being rendered at
[05:06] <Random832> [no idea what font this is in
[05:06] <rockets> PinkFloyd, i hate to be a jerk but im sure google would know the answer
[05:06] <PinkFloyd> rockets, two steps ahead of you. ;)
[05:06] <Pelo> !wifi > corrupt  check in pm for the wifi doc links , it's probably in there
[05:06] <|neon|> sorry i went away for a minute    does ubuntu plays ok with linux raid , that's what i set up on the file server two 500 gbs on linux raid and the a small hd for the os installed i have two wd raptors i could use to set ubuntu on don't know if linux raid will work ok or not

[05:07] <FusE-> This is going to sound silly, but how do you autocomplete directory (Tab) in Terminal when the directory has a space in the name
[05:07] <Enul> it still says the file format is invalid
[05:08] <armyriad> I installed Adobe Flash in Firefox but it only works on my user account. How do I make it work in every user account?
[05:08] <jshaffer> FusE- start the directory name with a quotation mark
[05:08] <wastrel> foo\ bar
[05:08] <|neon|> ubotu: thx

[05:08] <corrupt> thanks pelo

[05:08] <ptrmb> what identifier should a SATA DVD drive have in the dmesg logs?
[05:08] <Pelo> armyriad,  the flash files get installed in the ~/.mozilla folder , so you would have to install it in every account or at least make a symlink
[05:09] <Pelo> john, what commad do you use to start the instller ?
[05:09] <FusE-> Does PHotoshop CS3 work under wine?
[05:09] <jshaffer> FusE-: You can also use a backslash and space at the end, for example use either grep "dir<tab> or grep dir\ <tab>
[05:09] <Pelo> FusE-, ask in #winehq

[05:10] <bruenig> FusE-, or there are other shells, such as zsh which allows for cyclical completion which some like for that reason
[05:10] <john> Pelo, i simply copy&pasted from the site: sh hplip-2.7.7.run
[05:10] <john> (before that, i cd to the Desktop because that's where the file is)
[05:10] <xIke> what's a good code-aware text-editor for linux?  I don't want tons of toolbar buttons and junk...just basic awareness of things like indentation
[05:11] <Pie-rate> xIke: there's gedit, it does syntax coloring
[05:11] <Pelo> john, cd Desktop ,  sudo chmod 777 filename.run   sudo filename.run
[05:11] <Pelo> john try it like that
[05:11] <serenityUK> xIke, geany has code block hiding but still lightweight
[05:11] <mattycoze> hey everyone, i was wondering how i might go about mounting a usb drive that won't automount
[05:11] <Pie-rate> xIke: also there's vi. real coders use vi. its hard to learn but once you learn it its faster.
[05:12] <xIke> serenityUK: nice, thanks.  does it maintain indentation? (gedit doesn't do that)
[05:12] <john> Pelo, the installer runs and asks me a few questions. i answer and it does somethings. it warns that universe/multiverse repositories must be enabled ( i think they are) and that it needs an internet connection (which, obviously, i have).
[05:12] <Pelo> mattycoze, make sure the drive is powered on
[05:12] <john> Pelo: i'll try that. one sec
[05:12] <mattycoze> Pelo sure is
[05:12] <xIke> Pie-rate: yeah, vi has such a steep learning curve, I never had the patience for it :P
[05:12] <mattycoze> Pelo and connecte,d tried lsusb
[05:12] <wastrel> <3 vi
[05:12] <Pelo> mattycoze, what FS ?
[05:12] <serenityUK> serenityUK, yes it is a mini ide it has those + arrows next to braces to show hide code and sysntack hightlighting etc..
[05:12] <Enul> when you try and install new icons do they have to be packed?
[05:13] <serenityUK> syntax lol
[05:13] <mattycoze> Pelo GParted tells me it's msdos
[05:13] <bruenig> yeah vi is nice
[05:13] <Pie-rate> xIke: honestly, i havent bothered to learn it completely. i mostly use gedit and spam the spacebar
[05:13] <bullgard4> ptrmb: No, neither 'dvd' nor 'cdrom'. On my computer the name of the DVD drive is 'HL-DT-ST'.
[05:13] <jshaffer> xIke: did you configure gedit? i haven't seen any problems with automatic indentation
[05:13] <Pelo> Enul,  just drag drop the tar.gz file to the theme manager
[05:13] <mattycoze> Pelo sorry Fat32
[05:13] <Enul> k
[05:13] <xIke> jshaffer: not at all...I assumed it didn't have the functionality.  I'll look now, thanks
[05:13] <jshaffer> you didn't configure it either did you Pie-rate
[05:14] <Pelo> mattycoze,   sudo mkdir /media/USB       sudo mount /dev/whatever
[05:14] <Pelo> mattva01,  sudo mount /dev/wathever /media/USB
[05:14] <w0nder> hahaha i fucked uo my sudoers file
[05:14] <mattycoze> Pelo ok i'll try that
[05:14] <w0nder> up*
[05:14] <Enul> it doesnt work Pelo it says file format is invalid
[05:14] <w0nder> how do I access it now?
[05:14] <Pie-rate> jshaffer: i never really bothered. i'm doing so now
[05:14] <w0nder> crap
[05:15] <Pie-rate> jshaffer: has some useful features...
[05:15] <serenityUK> w0nder, type su to change to root account
[05:15] <Pelo> Enul,  some times the files gets repacked to include instructions and stuff,   extract it once , see if there is another tar.gz file in there   drag thatone to the theme manager
[05:15] <Enul> ok
[05:15] <w0nder> serenityUK: u cant do that in ubuntu can u?
[05:15] <jshaffer> i guess "dpkg -i --force-conflicts" didn't work so well, now synaptic refuses to do anything until things are pretty
[05:15] <john> Pelo, i set the permissions, then ran "sudo sh hplip-2.7.7.run" (sh was required it seems). i have the same issue.
[05:15] <serenityUK> w0nder, you will need the root password. not the normal one you do sudo with
[05:15] <w0nder> serenityUKL: I keep getting access denied
[05:16] <wastrel> w0nder:  boot into recovery mode
[05:16] <w0nder> oh boy
[05:16] <wastrel> and use visudo next time
[05:16] <w0nder> yeah i just read that
[05:16] <mattycoze> pelo that didn't work
[05:16] <w0nder> how do I boot into recovery? it's ubuntu server edition...
[05:16] <mattycoze> the dir is there but nothing' in the folder
[05:16] <Pelo> john,  ok ,   menu > system > admin > software sources  that gets you the dialog for hte repos,  check all the boxes on the first tab and the backport one in the third tab I thnk ,  reload and try again
[05:17] <Pelo> mattycoze,  get me the devtree for the usb drive
[05:17] <Scunizi> serenityUK: w0nder there is no "root" password.. you can only use sudo or get to root and use the same password that you use with sudo.
[05:17] <tha_toadman> i just want to say here that the guide in the 'mythtv-backend only' docs is messed up
[05:17] <mattycoze> Pelo, what command do i run?
[05:17] <Pelo> lsusb ?
[05:17] <lorph> how do I get ubuntu's "top" command to show cpu usage in the decimals
[05:18] <Pelo> mattycoze, check in gparted,  see what the /dev/sd.... is for the partition of the usb drive
[05:18] <Pie-rate> if i set gedit to autosave files without selecting "create a backup copy of files before saving," does it overwrite my file or does it autosave to a different filename?
[05:18] <serenityUK> Scunizi, no if you use su  you switch to full root account... provided you setup a passwrod with 'sudo passwd root' or course lol
[05:18] <Pelo> Pie-rate,  I suspect i over-writes
[05:18] <Pelo> lorph, man top
[05:19] <mattycoze> Pelo it's just got one partition, /dev/sdb1
[05:19] <mattycoze> Pelo, with boot and lba flags
[05:20] <Pelo> mattycoze, sudo mount vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/USB      linux is case sensitive
[05:20] <mattycoze> kk
[05:20] <Pelo> mattycoze, the flags shouldn'T be an issue
[05:20] <Pie-rate> yep, it overwrites
[05:20] <Pie-rate> that's really stupid.
[05:20] <Enul> thanks Pelo it had a nested directory inside the bz2 file
[05:21] <serenityUK> pelo  -t vfat?
[05:21] <Pelo> Pie-rate, usualy in text editors when you want to save to another name you use save as
[05:21] <Pelo> serenityUK, possibly I keep making that mistake
[05:21] <Pelo> mattycoze, sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/USB      linux is case sensitive
[05:21] <bullgard4> Why does my kernel 2.6.20-generic need two modules (ahci and ata_piix) with almost the same function?
[05:21] <john> Pelo, it didn't work. so, i checked everything and tried again. again, it didn't work.
[05:22] <Pie-rate> Pelo: but an autosave feature designed to keep your document backed up in case of power failure or crash should not overwrite.
[05:22] <mattycoze> Pelo; http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35743/
[05:22] <Pelo> john, that's all I've got , check in their faq, put the file name in google , see if anything comes up
[05:22] <Pelo> Pie-rate,  most autosave I've seen save to the same file
[05:23] <serenityUK> mattycoze, its a typo you need  -t vfat
[05:23] <Pie-rate> Pelo: for example, openoffice has a "document recovery" feature
[05:23] <Pelo> mattycoze, sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/USB
[05:23] <jshaffer> Pie-rate, gedit saves a backup of "yes" as "yes~"
[05:23] <mattycoze> Pelo sorry dam 2 typos
[05:23] <Pie-rate> jshaffer: by default.
[05:23] <john> Pelo, what about the manual install?
[05:24] <Pelo> john, is there one ? what's the file type ?
[05:24] <Pie-rate> jshaffer: i'm also testing whether or not it overwrites the backup on the second autosave right now. i will know in 45 seconds
[05:24] <jshaffer> oh, i see
[05:24] <Pie-rate> jshaffer: actually, the autosave feature doesn't save a backup at all.
[05:25] <jshaffer> yeah, that is a separate option. i was confused about what you were asking
[05:25] <ycmarvin> is there a software that can convert video files to .mpg or mpeg
[05:25] <mattycoze> sorry pelo, this is the error message i get;
[05:25] <mattycoze> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35744/
[05:25] <john> Pelo, i'm not sure, i just saw this: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/index.html (see second option: "Manual Installation")
[05:25] <mattycoze> "/dev/sbd1 is not a block device"
[05:25] <Pelo> mattycoze, sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/USB
[05:26] <Pelo> mattva01,   sdb not sbd
[05:26] <Pelo> john,  give me a minute
[05:26] <macogw> my cd wont mount
[05:26] <john> Pelo, okay thanks.
[05:27] <davo_> anyone recommend a goot torrent client?
[05:27] <mattva01> hmm was wondering why my xchat was flashing
[05:27] <davo_> Or at least, help me configure Azureus
[05:27] <Pelo> john,  if you followthe links  and select ubuntu on the second page there is a list of instrctions to follow, they look rather thorough  , I would give them a shot
[05:28] <macogw> davo_: there's configuration required for azureus? i dont recall having to do anything when i used it
[05:28] <Pelo> mattva01, mea culpa, sorry
[05:28] <john> Pelo, yah i'm trying it. if i run into an error i'll let you know if that's alright...
[05:28] <mattycoze> pelo, oh yeah it works now :p
[05:28] <davo_> well nothing is downloading for me
[05:28] <mattycoze> woot, will it stay mounted?
[05:28] <macogw> mattva01: any idea why i cant open my cd drive?
[05:28] <davo_> I ran the config wizard and got nat errors
[05:28] <Pelo> john,  I'll do my second best
[05:28] <macogw> mattva01: or play the cd that's in it
[05:28] <Pie-rate> jshaffer: i set gedit to save a backup and to autosave, echo asdf>file&&gedit file, added a 2 to the end in gedit, without saving the file, waited 1 minute (which is what i set the autosave to), ls -lA&&cat file

[05:29] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> Pelo: i just installed beryl and for some reason i cant move any windows like i could only maximize or minimize them any ideas?
[05:29] <Pelo> mattycoze,  until you reboot, if you want it to automount you need to add it to fstab ,  and I'm not very good with fat32 in fstab
[05:29] <Pelo> LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR, ask in #beryl
[05:29] <LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR> ok thank you
[05:29] <Pie-rate> LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR: don't install beryl. use compiz fusion
[05:29] <Pelo> !fstab > mattycoze check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[05:29] <Pie-rate> LiLtRiNiWaRrIoR: beryl is inactive now.
[05:29] <condon1981> Can anyone tell me if there is a way to...flash for lack of better term and/or understanding of Linux, Ubuntu to revert back to initial installation without losing data files (photos/videos/etc.)?
[05:29] <serenityUK> mattycoze, you should unmount it before you unplug with   sudo umount /dev/sdb1    (note no m in umount)
[05:29] <Coded1> i need some dual display help, i have 2 diffrent cards agp/pci one ati rage, one S3 Virge, both are detected and have drivers installed but I cant get X to pick up both at the same time (if i switch one off in bios the other works)
[05:30] <serenityUK> mattycoze, i mean no n un umount
[05:30] <decay> urgent help. where are firefox bookmarks saved?
[05:30] <Pelo> condon1981,  try again what do you want to do ?
[05:30] <Pie-rate> condon1981: you mean revert everything back to default?
[05:30] <Pelo> decay,  hidden folder in /home , possibly under gnome2
[05:30] <Pie-rate> condon1981: what problem are you having with it?
[05:30] <serenityUK> decay, in ~/mozilla    goto home folder and view->show hidden files menu
[05:30] <decay> Pelo, thanks
[05:30] <mattycoze> kk thanks serenityUK and Pelo
[05:30] <Coded1> some have told me to use xinerama, but that is only for identical resolutions, which i dont have
[05:30] <File13> is anyone familiar with getting rt73 chipset devices to work, im having a problem
[05:31] <condon1981> I'm having many actually
[05:31] <condon1981> clvm, clmv...something like that, tried everything to remove it, won't budge
[05:31] <dr_Willis> condon1981,  Thats a reason many people keep their /home on a seperate partition.  makes reinstalling easier.
[05:31] <Pie-rate> condon1981: all of your data files are saved under /home/<username>
[05:31] <fivetwentysix_> !iso
[05:31] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[05:31] <dr_Willis> condon1981,  you could clarify the problem a bit more.
[05:31] <serenityUK> decay, any file which starts with a dot is hidden they are in a folder called .mozilla
[05:32] <kauer> If I use dd to do a block-by-block copy of a Windows (NTFS) hard disk, will I be able to mount it under Linux? If yes, how?
[05:32] <condon1981> so could I creat a partition perhaps, and copy it all over and just reinstall on the OS's part?
[05:32] <Flannel> kauer: why don't you just mount the original disk under linux?
[05:32] <dr_Willis> kauer,  in theory you could mount it with the loopback feature. if you dd it to a file.
[05:32] <decay> serenityUK, it was there. thanks a bunch
[05:32] <fivetwentysix_> how do I emulate a cd-rom?
[05:32] <dr_Willis> fivetwentysix_, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> 
[05:32] <dr_Willis> fivetwentysix_,  thats about as close as you are going to get.
[05:32] <Pie-rate> condon1981: so, you can copy all of those files off onto an external harddrive, flash drive, or separate partition, then reinstall. many of your settings are saved in your home folder as well, in hidden folders. all of these folders can be shown by pressing ctrl+h in nautilus
[05:32] <serenityUK> decay, you can import it into another firefox by clicking organize bookmarks and then import from file menu
[05:32] <enduro> condon1981: yeah but just as easy to back up to dvd or something and just run a fresh install, taking of course you don't have a massive /home dir - if you do external hdd?
[05:32] <condon1981> Sorr dr_, I'm running into issues downloading installing just about anything - Had Wine up great then had to remove some dependencies that conflicted another ap, now it's all just out of my control
[05:32] <Flannel> condon1981: Yeah, but you don't want to do a straight copy, you've gotta get a little fancy: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[05:32] <fivetwentysix_> what should the mount point be?
[05:33] <Enul> does anyone know if there is a way to get a ati all in wonder ve tv card to work under ubuntu?
[05:33] <fivetwentysix_> and would it work in wine?
[05:33] <dr_Willis> fivetwentysix_,  whever you want. then cd to it and run wine on whatever.exe
[05:33] <dr_Willis> wine is also configurable where to look for the cdrom
[05:33] <Pelo> condon1981, boot the live cd, resize yor / partiton to create some unallocated space, make a partiton for /home in it, then mount it , copy  /home to hte new partiton,  then reisntall ubuntu,   select manual prtitionning when you get to it , and point select yournew partiton for /home
[05:33] <condon1981> Thanks for the link Flannel
[05:34] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: do yu sleep?
[05:34] <davo_> yea..azureus isn't connecting gus.
[05:34] <davo_> guys*
[05:34] <kauer> Flannel, dr_Willis: The disk in question is defective, Windows wants to reformat it. I am thinking, use dd with conv=noerror and get an image of it, then go through recovering stuff via Linux. Or even re-exprt it back to Windows with Samba :-) Don't want to mount the disk itself, it is very unreliable; I want to get the data off it fast.
[05:34] <Evanlec> lol IndyGunFreak
[05:34] <Pelo> davo_,  ask in #azureus-support
[05:34] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, these days, not much
[05:34] <dr_Willis> kauer,  theres is a special 'dd' variant that is supposed to be better at reading 'bad' drives. or so i recall...
[05:34] <Scunizi> kauer, partimage
[05:35] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: lol, don't worry, i've had people ask me the same thing in here...lol,. i just always wanted to say it to someone else, and Pelo is the ony person who i think is here more than me.
[05:35] <Pie-rate> condon1981: you may be able to fix your problems by simply moving all of the hidden files (files beginning with a .) to a new folder.
[05:35] <Pelo> IndyGunFreak, I don'T have a life either
[05:35] <Evanlec> hah
[05:35] <Pie-rate> condon1981: can you give me an example of a problem you're having?
[05:35] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[05:35] <serenityUK> condon1981, be careful with that tutorial i have used it in the past.. it works perfectly but the font is deceptive   it says means to say 'cpio --null --sparse'   but the double dashes look like one dash because of the bad font on the blog... the rest is fine though
[05:36] <IndyGunFreak> Pelo: whatever happened to ikonia?
[05:36] <condon1981> Just a sec Pie, I'll find a log
[05:36] <IndyGunFreak> i love his wit.
[05:36] <enduro> Pie-rate: I think he's having issues with corrupt libraries or a corrupt apt db
[05:36] <serenityUK> damn he left
[05:36] <condon1981> Thanks serenity
[05:36] <serenityUK> gonna cause trouble
[05:36] <Pelo> IndyGunFreak, ikonia ? not sure what/who you are talking about
[05:36] <serenityUK> oh ur still here!!1
[05:36] <serenityUK> yay
[05:36] <Pie-rate> enduro: oh, so yeah. probably just reinstall ubuntu is the simplest way.
[05:36] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, how to disable join/leave text in X-Chat ?
[05:36] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: its in edit/prefernces
[05:36] <Evanlec> ya but where? ;p
[05:36] <Pie-rate> why doesn't ubuntu have a separate partition for /home by default, anyway?
[05:37] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: oops, i mean on the network list, right click the network, then choose the appropriate option
[05:37] <Pelo> Evanlec,  right click on the channel tab
[05:37] <Evanlec> kk
[05:37] <Evanlec> tx pelo
[05:37] <preaction_> Pie-rate, partitions are prime real-estate
[05:37] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: wait, no thats not it either
[05:37] <Pie-rate> preaction_: then let the user choose?
[05:37] <Pelo> Pie-rate,  because there are to many possibly variotions on the size of / and of /home
[05:37] <baubles> hey.. anyone know how to stop gnome from trying to mount a specific drive/volume?
[05:37] <fivetwentysix_> dr_willis I'm confused, I need a directory already made to mount it to?
[05:37] <preaction_> Pie-rate, the user can choose, they can choose to make their own partitions
[05:37] <enduro> anyone know what ubuntus support for dual core intels is?
[05:37] <IndyGunFreak> forgot, i'm using xchat-gnome
[05:38] <Pelo> baubles, at boot ?comment them out of fstab
[05:38] <Scunizi> baubles: put a # in front of the line in /etc/fstab that mounts the drive.
[05:38] <Pie-rate> Pelo: so have the system pick one, or develop a tool that dynamically resizes them.
[05:38] <baubles> thanks. I meant auto-mount though.. this is a USB device
[05:38] <baubles> and when I plug it in, it automatically mounts it. it's an MTP music player
[05:38] <masss443> hey guys i have a Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II wireless card on a D link di 524 router, i can sometimes connect to it but i cant load or do nothing with the connection, i m running ubuntu 7.04 and i m chatting from another running windows and the same network, any ideas
[05:38] <Pelo> Pie-rate,  do other distros automaticaly do it ?
[05:38] <davo_> does the standard bittorrent client that comes with ubuntu seed?
[05:38] <baubles> I don't want it to automatically mount it
[05:38] <Scunizi> buables, sorry,.. no
[05:38] <Pie-rate> Pelo: i don't know, but it would be a good idea.
[05:39] <Pelo> Pie-rate, I'm sure there is a suggestion box somewhere
[05:39] <serenityUK> red hat has LVM but i never tried it
[05:39] <Pie-rate> Pelo: yeah. there's launchpad.
[05:39] <kauer> Scunizi: looked at partimage doc just now, there doesn't seem to be any facility for skipping bad blicks. Have I missed that? Anyway, since this disk is defective, there will be bad blocks, and whatever program is reading it must be able to skip them. It's no good to me if it clags on bad blocks...
[05:40] <Pelo> serenityUK, that's not what we are talkng about
[05:40] <davo_> anyone?
[05:40] <condon1981> OK, here's a prime example, I tried to apt-get install wine
[05:40] <masss443> here are some ls commands of my laptop too  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35745/  and  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35742/
[05:40] <Pelo> davo_,  ask in #azureus-support
[05:40] <davo_> I mean the bitTorrent that comes with ubuntu
[05:40] <davo_> not azureus
[05:40] <serenityUK> he said or dynamic resize
[05:41] <condon1981> it comes back E: Broken packages - I try to remove the packages, either they won't remove or they won't reinstall properly
[05:41] <Pelo> davo_,  story restate your question pleae
[05:41] <Flannel> davo_: it does
[05:41] <Scunizi> kauer, is it a system disk with windows?  have you tried booting from win cd and choose console recovery. at the prompt type chkdsk /R.  It may make it good enough to do a partimage backup.
[05:41] <davo_> does the standard bittorrent client that comes with ubuntu seed?
[05:41] <john> Pelo: everything's good so far. i need to log off and back on to apply changes. (i love how i don't even have to restart, lol... ubuntu rocks!)
[05:41] <condon1981> lacking depends - lib32asound2, libc6-i386 and a couple others, I try to install them, and get different depends that I can't download
[05:41] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, did u manage to get transparent background working with x-chat? seems kinda buggered to me
[05:41] <condon1981> vicious cycle I can't break
[05:42] <IndyGunFreak> evani didnt use xchat very long, hold on, i'll boot it on my laptop.
[05:42] <Pelo> davo_,  it should but I think it is tied into the installer orsomething , try using deluge-torrent or utorrent on wine for your own stuff
[05:42] <dangerous666> does anybody here have an cx88xx based TV capture card ?
[05:42] <Flannel> Pelo: tied to the installer? what?
[05:42] <dr_Willis> !info apt-howto
[05:42] <Pelo> johnp, that linux not just ubuntulog
[05:42] <ubotu> apt-howto: example-based guide to APT. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.2-2 (feisty), package size 9 kB, installed size 40 kB
[05:42] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, what u using?
[05:42] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: xchat-gnome
[05:42] <dr_Willis> the apt-howto has some tips on fixing a messed up apt system
[05:42] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: xchat, and xchat-gnome, are different programs
[05:43] <Pelo> Flannel, forget it , I'M not even surewhat I am talking about,  or why bittorrent gets installed by default
[05:43] <Evanlec> true but, xchat-gnome has 0 config options!
[05:43] <dr_Willis> Evanlec,  and 0 users. :)
[05:43] <stefano> lol
[05:43] <Evanlec> yea!
[05:43] <Evanlec> whats up with that
[05:43] <dr_Willis> Evanlec,  simplify it into uselessness?
[05:43] <Evanlec> dr_Willis, yea i dont get it either
[05:43] <Pelo> it's got the word gnome in the name
[05:44] <stefano> I once installed xchat-gnome by mistake... i didn't have any options. Not even port select.
[05:44] <Evanlec> what client u using willis
[05:44] <IndyGunFreak> Pelo: lol..
[05:44] <Evanlec> haha
[05:44] <serenityUK> Evanlec, xchat gnome has a simpler interface.. they hide many of the advanced options
[05:44] <Evanlec> serenityUK, i noticed
[05:44] <dr_Willis> using normal xchat. heck - some times i recompile xchat 2.4 so i got some FEATURES  in xchat.
[05:44] <stefano> Simple translation: xchat-gnome = newb tool
[05:45] <Bam2550> hello
[05:45] <Sarkhan> hello
[05:45] <stefano> hi
[05:45] <serenityUK> welcome Bam2550
[05:45] <dr_Willis> every releae of xchat seems to remove more things. :)
[05:45] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: you should be able to right click the channel, and uncheck join/part messages.
[05:45] <Sarkhan> I have an installation question.
[05:45] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, yea i got that workin, thanks
[05:45] <serenityUK> fork off?
[05:45] <IndyGunFreak_> ok
[05:45] <Pelo> Sarkhan, are you gonna keep it for yourself or share it with the channel
[05:46] <Evanlec> was askin about window transparency
[05:46] <IndyGunFreak_> now you want to know about transparancy... hangon
[05:46] <kauer> Scuzini: it is a data disk - Windows itself doesn't run off it. It's actually an NTFS formatted disk in a little "personal NAS" (Lacie I believe). Actually I am just *assuming* it is NTFS formatted. But since it can (could) be attached via USB, I think it is NTFS. What's actually happening is, the disk is Ok for a few minutes after poweron, then al the data "disappears". I'd really rather not use anything on it that writes to the disk as chk
[05:46] <Pelo> Evanlec,  check in the preferences
[05:46] <condon1981> Can someone tell me what the three partitions I've got on my hard drive handle?
[05:46] <Evanlec> i have it enabled but it dont seem to be working right
[05:46] <Sarkhan> I tried intalling the AMD64 distro on my Tyan K8WE box ...
[05:46] <slapfaceware> anyone suggest a good AGP video card for NFS
[05:46] <Bam2550> I put the iso CD in the drive, then i reboot the computer. It kind of freezes up at the part where it tells me my specs. After i eject the CD then it goes about it normals way. HELP!
[05:46] <Sarkhan> It came up all right on the CD, but once I installed it, it bombed.
[05:47] <IndyGunFreak> hm.
[05:47] <IndyGunFreak> it has the option in xchat.
[05:47] <serenityUK> condon1981, sudo fdisk -l   (L for Larry)
[05:47] <Pelo> condon1981,   / is your os and /home ,    /swap is in two partition, one embeded in another
[05:47] <Pelo> Sarkhan, we need a little more , any error msg ?
[05:47] <condon1981> /dev/sda1 - ext3 -- huge - /dev/sda2 - extended -- 2.86gigs - /dev/sda5 -- 2.86gigs
[05:47] <Sarkhan> I wonder if the distro would have problems dealing with the NForce4 glue chips ... like the SATA drive.
[05:48] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: there it is.
[05:48] <IndyGunFreak> go to Edit/Preferences
[05:48] <condon1981> Is it safe to change the OS partition, shrink it to make room for another?
[05:48] <IndyGunFreak> then click the text box...
[05:48] <Sarkhan> OK
[05:48] <condon1981> Too used to Windows, know it can cause issues in some cases.
[05:48] <stefano> nForce 4 = joke, nforce 5 = :), nforce 6 = godlike.
[05:48] <Pelo> condon1981,   sda1 is your os ,  sda2 and sda5 are your swap,  the swap is a logical partiton embeded in an extended partition
[05:48] <Evanlec> right...
[05:48] <IndyGunFreak> then click "Transparant background".... then omve all the sliders all the way up..
[05:48] <Evanlec> but it doesnt seem to be true transparency, like windows dont show below it
[05:48] <serenityUK> condon1981, ok sda1 is you data     sda5 is swap    the extended is just a wrapper for the swap i think
[05:49] <Evanlec> just the desktop background
[05:49] <serenityUK> hmm too slow
[05:49] <Pelo> Sarkhan, you can check in this link see if your they have anyting to say about your mobo   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[05:49] <Sarkhan> I checked there ... they have NO Tyan Motherboards listed!!!!
[05:49] <condon1981> Is it safe to use Gnome partition editor?
[05:49] <Pelo> serenityUK,  but a much more concise explanation then mine
[05:50] <cafuego> Sarkhan: No, nforce4 works fine
[05:50] <Pelo> Sarkhan, try looking up your model in the forum to see if they ahve any comments   www.ubuntuforums.org
[05:50] <rockets> condon1981, its safe but disable automounting first
[05:50] <IndyGunFreak_> Evanlec: did you figure it out.
[05:50] <Pelo> condon1981, yes but you 'll have to do it from the live cd
[05:50] <serenityUK> you either get three replies or ignored around here
[05:50] <Sarkhan> OK.  I'll check out the forum.  I just thought I'd stop here for some ideas.
[05:50] <rockets> condon1981, its supposed to do it automatically but it doesnt
[05:50] <rockets> condon1981, and DONT edit your / partition
[05:50] <cafuego> Sarkhan: I have an nforce4 based gigabyte mobo, and all components work fine.
[05:50] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, see above
[05:50] <mikubuntu> hey guys, anybody know where to get the click and run plugin?  i just signed up at cnrcom, but i don't see where the plugin can be retrieved from... you'd think they'd make that easy to find.
[05:50] <condon1981> how do I dissable automounting?
[05:50] <Evanlec> oh
[05:51] <Evanlec> yea
[05:51] <Pelo> serenityUK, some questions are easier to ansswer then others
[05:51] <enduro> gnome or kde
[05:51] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: yeah, transparant background... clear, so its gonna show your wallpaper.
[05:51] <dr_Willis> condon1981,  i always use a live cd when using the partition resizer tools
[05:51] <rockets> mikubuntu, we dont really support that here, whats wrong with synaptic
[05:51] <Sarkhan> bye!
[05:51] <Scunizi> enduro: what's your preferance..?  choose that one. or run both.
[05:51] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, yea, but i want it like how the terminal window is, where anything shows underneath
[05:51] <Pelo> condon1981, in hte live cd , you don'T you just unmount them afterward, you can do it from gnome-partition-editor
[05:51] <Evanlec> ;p
[05:52] <enduro> scunizi: well i prefer kde, but it doesn't seem nearly as complete as gnome is on ubuntu
[05:52] <Bam2550> I put the iso CD in the drive, then i reboot the computer. It kind of freezes up at the part where it tells me my specs. After i eject the CD then it goes about it normals way. if you can please help that would be awesome
[05:52] <mikubuntu> i don't know where i'd find it on synaptic
[05:52] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: oh ok, i don't think xchat will do that.
[05:52] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, i think ur right
[05:52] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: xchat-gnome doesn't either
[05:52] <Pelo> Bam2550,  what video card ?
[05:52] <Evanlec> ,
[05:52] <Scunizi> Evanlec: try irssi
[05:52] <Evanlec> !irssi
[05:52] <ubotu> irssi is a command line interface !IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help
[05:52] <Bam2550> Video card matters?
[05:53] <Evanlec> yea, tried that once, was scared
[05:53] <Evanlec> 100% keyboard, yikes ;p
[05:53] <Pelo> Bam2550, ati and nvidia don't have FOSS diver so you can't use the live cd , you need to use the alternate install cd
[05:53] <cafuego> Quick and easy. That's not scary.
[05:53] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: my personal opinion, irssi blows... but its quite popular.
[05:53] <Scunizi> Evanlec: takes a little getting use to but once you get just a couple of command down it's pretty good..
[05:53] <Evanlec> learning key commands
[05:53] <enduro> its a bit like vim
[05:53] <Evanlec> i c
[05:53] <nickrud> Evanlec, in the preferences dialog, click transparent background
[05:54] <serenityUK> the thing about irssi is that it uses Screen
[05:54] <Bam2550> Pelo, how can i figure out what kind of card i have??
[05:54] <Scunizi> doesn't have to .
[05:54] <Evanlec> !Screen
[05:54] <ubotu> screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[05:54] <rockets> Bam2550, lspci
[05:54] <Scunizi> serenityUK: doesn't have to .. run it by itself
[05:54] <stefano> Is there a way to make Rhythmbox media player to default to alsa?
[05:54] <Bam2550> huh?
[05:54] <Pelo> Bam2550, computer documentiation,  maker's website , etc
[05:54] <serenityUK> Scunizi, i meant the advantage
[05:54] <Scunizi> Evanlec: It only uses screen if you want it to.
[05:54] <rockets> stefano, im pretty sure it does.
[05:54] <Pelo> Bam2550, ignore rockets  he missed the begining
[05:54] <rockets> Pelo, gee, thanks!
[05:54] <Evanlec> !vim
[05:54] <ubotu> Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code
[05:54] <serenityUK> Scunizi, i dont like the emacs style shortcuts in screen .. i prefer alt-f2 lol
[05:55] <Scunizi> serenityUK: true.. screen I"m just getting use to .. but I like the options.
[05:55] <stefano> rockets, why is it that when i have rhythmbox on it blocks all alsa out put?
[05:55] <Pelo> rockets,  Bam2550  can't boot the live cd,  lspci won't work
[05:55] <stefano> Anything that does sound complains about device not being free.
[05:55] <Bam2550> so...
[05:55] <rockets> stefano, youve got a sound card that Alsa's PCM Multiplexing wont work for, switch to ESD
[05:55] <Bam2550> erm i should download the non live cd?
[05:55] <Pelo> Bam2550, that would probably be best
[05:55] <enduro> brb
[05:55] <Bam2550> okay ill try
[05:56] <rockets> stefano, System -> Preferences -> Sound, change everything to ESD
[05:56] <bruenig> technically, the alternate install is a live cd isn't it
[05:56] <Bam2550> idk if i downloaded the live version or not
[05:56] <stefano> rockets, that is something i didn't understand. XMMS ( alsa ) and any other sound program that i set to alsa works
[05:56] <kristofer> how can I get the ati drivers to show up in system->admin->restricted driver management?
[05:56] <rockets> stefano, not sure
[05:56] <nickrud> bruenig, picky picky ;)
[05:56] <bruenig> it just drops you to a tty and immediately loads an ncurses script right
[05:56] <Rhoruns> baah
[05:56] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: i guess if you mean, its a lively install, then yes...lol
[05:56] <Rhoruns> how do i download something throguh commandline?
[05:56] <Rhoruns> i dont have x installed
[05:56] <Pelo> bruenig, I thought live cd meant you got a desktop to play with
[05:56] <staykovmarin> Rhoruns: wget
[05:56] <IndyGunFreak> Rhoruns: wget url
[05:56] <nickrud> Rhoruns, wget or run lynx or links
[05:56] <cafuego> Rhoruns: Use 'links' or 'lynx', or wget.
[05:56] <serenityUK> ooo quick of the draw
[05:56] <Rhoruns> ok. does that command work in debian?
[05:57] <bruenig> Pelo, if you can get out of tty1, you should be in a live cd with a console
[05:57] <stefano> wget :D
[05:57] <cafuego> Rhoruns: Provided said apckages are installed, sure.
[05:57] <john> Pelo: it's all working. i printed test pages and i scanned something. :)
[05:57] <serenityUK> wget works in system V
[05:57] <staykovmarin> serenityUK: hehe i win =D
[05:57] <Pelo> bruenig, I see what you mean
[05:57] <stunt> Hi guys. Having a pretty silly problem. I am trying to upgrade feisty to gutsy (i know its alpha) and when I run update manager as I am supposed to, I don't see the upgrade button. Any ideas? Been at this a couple hours and nothing seems to help.
[05:57] <kristofer> I'm following this guide, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#head-796aa4d6d0477c8ed722acef1878cc5626855ae3, but the ati driver doesn't show up in the restricted driver management tool
[05:57] <john> Pelo, thanks a lot for your help.
[05:57] <cafuego> if you use wget, use: wget -c "url"
[05:57] <Pelo> john,  congradulations,  go and put somethjing about it in the forum for other to look up if they need it
[05:57] <ed20> I have a question!
[05:57] <stefano> lynx isn't a default installed package, so its better to tell the noob to use wget

[05:58] <Pelo> john,  yes
[05:58] <Evanlec> !gutsy
[05:58] <ubotu> 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
[05:58] <cafuego> Rhoruns: it will always download to the current directory.
[05:58] <stefano> Gutsy is not so unstable :P
[05:58] <IndyGunFreak> anybody running gutsy right now?
[05:58] <nickrud> hmm, easier to install lynx than type a url
[05:58] <ed20> How do I defrag the Hard-drive?
[05:58] <Rhoruns> cafuego, hmm. ok. so root directoy is fine then?
[05:58] <IndyGunFreak> ed20: boot windows.
[05:58] <nickrud> ed20, you don't
[05:58] <stefano> Do you need to dfrag with linux?
[05:58] <Evanlec> does gutsy have auto-mouse config? :o
[05:58] <rockets> ed20, bwahahahahahah
[05:58] <serenityUK> IndyGunFreak, I am running gusty 64bit as my main system
[05:58] <cafuego> Rhoruns: Well, if you're root.
[05:58] <stefano> i don't know what you mean with auto mouse.
[05:59] <Rhoruns> lol ok
[05:59] <cafuego> Rhoruns: You need write permission eh
[05:59] <enduro> anyone know of a subversion gui for ubuntu/gnome?
[05:59] <kristofer> ed20, fsck will do it, but it's not recommended. the system will run it when it's necessary
[05:59] <nickrud> ed20, I've been using this dirve for 6 months and it's 2.8% fragmented
[05:59] <IndyGunFreak> serenityUK: ok.. i dont' care for 64gbit.. i may put 32bit on my laptoip
[05:59] <ed20> I imagine...what happens after many, many garbage on the hdd
[05:59] <stefano> But my scroll mouse has been working since feisty.
[05:59] <ToddEDM2>  hey guys, i just reinstalled windows on my laptop... now grub wont come up and let me choose OS.... is there a way i can get it back?
[05:59] <kristofer> enduro, I use radpidsvn from apt
[05:59] <IndyGunFreak> ToddEDM2: you need to reinstall grub.
[05:59] <serenityUK> IndyGunFreak, only 6 weeks might aswell wait
[05:59] <Pelo> ed20,  ext3 hdd don'T need to be defragged so donT' worry about it
[05:59] <Paddy_EIRE> hey serenityUK
[05:59] <serenityUK> ur up late?
[06:00] <ed20> ok
[06:00] <Pelo> !grub > ToddEDM2 check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[06:00] <Paddy_EIRE> always up late sere
[06:00] <stefano> ToddEDM2, :D, think ahead next time. Windows is a pooper system and you need to put it first in.
[06:00] <serenityUK> 5am
[06:00] <john> Pelo, umm...how do i create an account? I'm on www.ubuntuforums.org and i see where you login, but i don't have an account and i don't see a place to register...
[06:00] <giloth> hey everyone - i'm having problem with my wireless card... feisty detected it and installed drivers automatically and also sees my network. but it cannot connect to it no matter what i try. in prior versions of ubuntu it had no problems.. (i've even removed all security and set it up that way in ubuntu to see if i can atleast get a connection) no luck though... any ideas? :)
[06:00] <enduro> is it ok kristofer ?
[06:00] <Paddy_EIRE> serenityUK, sometimes I just dont sleep
[06:00] <cafuego> Rhoruns: Ah, "-P <target dir>" should download to the target dir
[06:00] <Evanlec> stefano i mean a simpler gui config for multi-button mice
[06:00] <Paddy_EIRE> serenityUK, It'll catch up on me I know but .... heh
[06:00] <serenityUK> try #Debain Paddy_EIRE
[06:00] <serenityUK> :)
[06:00] <bruenig> john, well on linux you will want to go to the link that says register
[06:00] <Pelo> john,  click the login link , tehre should be a page for new accunts somewhere,  I,m sure you'll figure it out
[06:00] <stefano> Evanlec, is that the Preference->Mouse thing?
[06:00] <Rhoruns> so, wget <url> -p <target>?   cafuego?
[06:01] <Pelo> g'night folks
[06:01] <kristofer> enduro, there's also naughtysvn that integrates with nautilus, but you'll have to compile it
[06:01] <sport> whats the cmd to add users?
[06:01] <sponix> Is there a better util for turning on/off boot scripts than sysv-rc-conf ?
[06:01] <Evanlec> stefano yes but with options to configure the mouse buttons
[06:01] <enduro> for a novice user i mean, trying to teach a windows developer the joys of linux, however he's not so popular with svn commandline
[06:01] <enduro> kristofer, thanks
[06:01] <stefano> Evanlec, not mine. Maybe it is still in dev.
[06:01] <ed20> I am a radio amateur, too...wa6mcr...and I would like to run "Echolink" using "Ubuntu"
[06:01] <stefano> On the whole, Gutsy installs for me in under 20 mins of my life.
[06:02] <stefano> Compared to the feisty of 30+ mins.
[06:02] <cafuego> Rhoruns: wget -c -P /path/to/some/dir "url"
[06:02] <serenityUK> gn pelo
[06:02] <cafuego> Rhoruns: Capital P.
[06:02] <nickrud> enduro, svn-workbench works well for nearly everything
[06:02] <Rhoruns> thanks cafuego, ill try it. :)
[06:03] <Evanlec> stefano, too bad i think gutsy could really use a simpler mouse config
[06:03] <IndyGunFreak> wierd, lost my connection for some reason
[06:03] <bruenig> Evanlec, few people need to configure the mouse
[06:03] <stefano> Evanlec, i don't think that simpler than this would be any good.
[06:03] <serenityUK> giloth, have you tried manual config?  left click on the network icon, then untick roaming mode.. and set up manually
[06:03] <enduro> nickrud, is that a gui in itself? rather than something that attaches to nautilus
[06:03] <kristofer> any ideas about the ati driver issue? anyone actually using the ati restricted drivers?
[06:04] <Evanlec> stefano, only thing is forward/back buttons, really could use those argh
[06:04] <giloth> yes i have serenityuk, but not since i took off the wifi security - i'll give it a shot
[06:04] <nickrud> enduro, no; there is nautilus-script-collection-svn
[06:04] <h1st0> !ati | kristofer
[06:04] <ubotu> kristofer: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:04] <nickrud> enduro, it's not complete but is useful
[06:04] <stefano> Evanlec, ah you have that kind of "web" mouse.
[06:04] <Fructose> Which is more important... the Lisa Novak story, or this: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/08/30/america/NA-GEN-US-NASA-Background-Checks.php
[06:04] <bruenig> Evanlec, use mouse gestures
[06:05] <Evanlec> stefano, yea and i agree half the buttons on the mouse i dont bother with, but the forward/back really are quite handy
[06:05] <nickrud> kristofer, I was, but had too many issues with my 200m
[06:05] <enduro> nickrud, thanks - more than useful :)
[06:05] <kristofer> h1st0, thanks!
[06:05] <Evanlec> mehdi, could do that too i spose
[06:05] <stefano> Evanlec, i would say so. I hate to leave the mouse when i am concentrated reading stuff on the web.
[06:06] <serenityUK> i have an extra as middle click because i don't like pressing click on  scroll button.. does open in new tab etc
[06:06] <bruenig> I rarely use the mouse while browsing
[06:06] <h1st0> !offtopic
[06:06] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:06] <bruenig> or really at all
[06:06] <Evanlec> how can u not use a wheel ?
[06:06] <Evanlec> lordy
[06:06] <bruenig> arrows and page down/up
[06:06] <IndyGunFreak> no kidding.. i have to have a wheel..
[06:06] <nickrud> some of us learned to type :)
[06:06] <Evanlec> brutal
[06:06] <ed20> Echolink using Ubuntu?
[06:07] <giloth> hmmm apparently it is detecting my network like i said but its getting no signal... however the laptop i'm on right now is right beside it getting a awesome signal... strange... (laptop is winderz)
[06:07] <kauer> enduro: Eclipse might be overkill, but it has a really good SVN interface and repository browser...
[06:07] <serenityUK> Evan no i mean i like scrolling but i don't lick pressing click down on the scroll as middle mouse button
[06:07] <serenityUK> like*
[06:07] <h1st0> !offtopic | serenityUK
[06:07] <stefano> I need to find a good IDE with CodeComplete
[06:07] <ubotu> serenityUK: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:07] <bruenig> Evanlec, well I also use vimperator which is an extension that makes firefox vim like so you can navigate the page much faster that way than the mouse, much like you can navigate vim faster than mouse based text editors
[06:07] <stefano> lol, Eclipse is out of the question, tooooo slow.
[06:07] <serenityUK> !nerd | h1st0
[06:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nerd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:08] <enduro> kauer, yeah we've looked at it, we'd use it if eclipse was what w ewanted to use for ide - but not for us
[06:08] <Evanlec> bruenig, i gotcha
[06:08] <bruenig> page down can only get you so far
[06:08] <nickrud> bruenig, is there one with emacs bindings by any chance?
[06:08] <h1st0> omg
[06:08] <maestrojed> I am attempting my first install of ubuntu.  I am using the 6.06 LTS.  I go through the six questions and it starts installing but locks up at 0%.  I am now downloading the alternative CD.  Are there any other suggestions?
[06:09] <Flannel> maestrojed: check the CD for defects
[06:09] <h1st0> maestrojed: check the cd for errors
[06:09] <h1st0> maestrojed: or it could be hanging when its partitioning the drive?
[06:09] <bruenig> nickrud, don't know
[06:09] <nickrud> have to go look then, I guess
[06:10] <Ste> hi guys :0
[06:10] <enduro> why doesn't ubuntu support usb keyboard at live cd boot???
[06:10] <serenityUK> welcome
[06:10] <oranye> oranye
[06:10] <IndyGunFreak> enduro: it should.
[06:10] <cizarr> there is any manual for the connect command?
[06:10] <oranye> sf
[06:10] <Ryuho> yay congrats to me for installing ubuntu on both my xps and tablet
[06:10] <oranye> hfhfh
[06:10] <serenityUK> enduro, it does on mine... you may have a setting in the bios
[06:11] <enduro> hmmm... It didn't for my 6.04 and bios is sweet
[06:11] <enduro> errr 6.06 rather
[06:11] <enduro> trying 7.04 now
[06:11] <ed20> ed20 is going......------>>>>>
[06:11] <Ste> 7.04 will work.. i reckon enduro
[06:11] <astronouth7303> is uinput like broken?
[06:11] <astronouth7303> I can't seem to get it to work
[06:12] <maestrojed> h1st0: it could be, I choose to format the entire disk
[06:12] <stefano> When you guys try out Gutsy, you will be amazed.
[06:12] <dr_Willis> enduro,  where at the boot? at the initial boot menu? or the console? or on the X desktop?
[06:12] <stefano> :D
[06:12] <stefano> But please, wait till oct :)
[06:12] <[ir] crAig^> in ATX12V power supplies, does one get more wattage out of it or does it simply just divide up the amperage?
[06:12] <serenityUK> stefano, been my main os since tribe3
[06:12] <maestrojed> Flannel: Any suggestions on how I check the CD for erros?
[06:12] <enduro> dr_Willis, at the boot options menu for the live cd
[06:13] <stefano> serenityUK, damn :D avantgoard i see.
[06:13] <[ir] crAig^> isn't there a channel i can goto to ask questions and people will assist me?
[06:13] <dr_Willis> enduro,  i have several pc's that have 'issues' with usb keyboards there, and with the grub menus. I hear that enabling 'usb-legacy' support in the bios will fix the issue. BUT it dident help them.
[06:13] <serenityUK> i like shiny new things
[06:13] <nickrud> !ask | [ir] crAig^
[06:13] <ubotu> [ir] crAig^: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:13] <dr_Willis> enduro,  also i noticed on ONE pc. which usb ports i had the keyboard in matteres.
[06:14] <giloth> does anyone have any ideas as to my issue? working wireless drivers (that i can tell) that were installed automatically on ubuntu install, able to detect my home network, 0% signal although laptop right beside it gets a great one in windows and its worked out-of-box on earlier versions of ubuntu
[06:14] <[ir] crAig^> in ATX12V power supplies, does one get more wattage out of it or does it simply just divide up the amperage?
[06:14] <kristofer> h1st0, those are the directions I'm currently reading.. after installing the suggested packages I still don't have the ati driver in my restricted driver tool
[06:14] <Flannel> maestrojed: there's a selection at the boot menu
[06:14] <enduro> dr_Willis, you might be onto something there, I'll try messing around with the ports another time, for now I"m content to just wait the 30 seconds..
[06:14] <dr_Willis> enduro,  so in short.. i suggest getting a ps2 keybord. :)  ive fought with this for a while. and its some odd mb/bios/keyboard/issues..
[06:14] <stefano> lol... serenityUK, i bummed out Gutsy 3 times already. I learn't how not to poop it up. ^^
[06:14] <kristofer> hj
[06:14] <Flannel> maestrojed: might be "check CD for defects" might be "verify CD integrity" or whatnot.
[06:14] <maestrojed> Flannel: cool, I will do that
[06:14] <dr_Willis> enduro,  i got a mini-ps2 on this box. and a usb keyboard. :)
[06:15] <enduro> gutsy or feisty with good dual screen support? i can't remember
[06:15] <nickrud> [ir] crAig^, um hardware questions, I think you'd need to get very lucky to get an answer on that here. Mostly software geeks
[06:15] <hyphenex> how do I 'echo' a newline character at the end of all .cpp files in a directory?
[06:15] <[ir] crAig^> :[
[06:15] <[ir] crAig^> alright lol
[06:15] <[ir] crAig^> i thought it was worth a shot
[06:15] <default_> i downloaded ubuntu feisty and installed bluez debs but were is sdpd located?
[06:15] <[ir] crAig^> for once google didnt help either
[06:15] <[ir] crAig^> :P
[06:15] <serenityUK> gutsy has new dual screen config app...  but i use nvidia control panel anyway
[06:15] <nickrud> [ir] crAig^, try searching for channels on ircsearch.com
[06:15] <default_> the service discovery protocol daemon?
[06:15] <enduro> dr_Willis, yeah i did have a kvm switch on my old setup to distribute a ps2 keyboard and mouse accross 3 machines when they needed ps2
[06:15] <stemount> who's installed Ubuntu on their tablet PC?
[06:15] <[ir] crAig^> any software geeks know anything about power supplies here?
[06:16] <stemount> [ir] crAig^: i do
[06:16] <[ir] crAig^> in ATX12V power supplies, does one get more wattage out of it or does it simply just divide up the amperage?
[06:16] <[ir] crAig^> (in terms of dual rails)
[06:16] <stemount> more wattage
[06:16] <stemount> then it distributes?
[06:16] <[ir] crAig^> so say i have a 420W ATXV12 PSU w/ Dual Rails
[06:16] <stemount> ya..
[06:16] <sponix> ext3 500G USB2.0 external, anyone know how long this should take to fsck, I think its hung
[06:16] <[ir] crAig^> does that mean its 420W on each rail?
[06:16] <stemount> should do
[06:17] <[ir] crAig^> should do?
[06:17] <RandomUsr> any xorg specialists here?
[06:17] <stemount> should be...
[06:17] <nickrud> sponix, long time, 20min + I'd guess
[06:17] <[ir] crAig^> know for sure, or just like 50% sure?
[06:17] <chris32680> are the ubuntu forums down?
[06:17] <stemount> 50%...
[06:17] <[ir] crAig^> damn
[06:17] <stemount> WHAT Brand?
[06:17] <stemount> caps anyone?#
[06:17] <[ir] crAig^> any, i'm talking out of my ass here.
[06:17] <nickrud> !ask | Random832
[06:17] <ubotu> Random832: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:17] <serenityUK> no chris32680
[06:17] <[ir] crAig^> theoretically i'm asking what dual rails do
[06:17] <default_> does ubuntu 7.04 come with the sdpd?
[06:17] <chris32680> serenity: thanks...for some reason i can't connect
[06:17] <stemount> 1min [ir] crAig^: I'll find out for you :p
[06:17] <[ir] crAig^> i've read guides on it and stuff but yeah
[06:17] <[ir] crAig^> thanks.
[06:18] <sponix> nickrud, chances of it hosing the drive worse by me ctrl+c'n it ?
[06:18] <enduro> serenityUK, where can i grab nvidia cp from?
[06:18] <giloth> does anyone have any ideas as to my issue? working wireless drivers (that i can tell) that were installed automatically on ubuntu install, able to detect my home network, 0% signal although laptop right beside it gets a great one in windows and its worked out-of-box on earlier versions of ubuntu
[06:18] <chris32680> working now
[06:18] <danny3793> Hey guys, I was wondering if I purchased the ATI Tv Wonder Elite would it work with Ubuntu Feisty?
[06:18] <danny3793> It is a TV Tuner
[06:18] <RandomUsr> <----  installed from alternate cd, xserver fails to start and states no monitor found. What's with that?
[06:18] <nickrud> sponix, I never do. are you seeing the dancing characters still?
[06:18] <dr_Willis> danny3793,  i have to say.. avoide ati cards. :)
[06:18] <sponix> danny3793, ATI's drivers are dog crap imho
[06:18] <dr_Willis> danny3793,  and their tv tuners  are a REALLY REALLY try to avoide thing.
[06:18] <RandomUsr> danny3793 the tuner won't work
[06:19] <nickrud> danny3793, my only gripe about my laptop is, ati (and I really knew better)
[06:19] <serenityUK> enduro, I use the latest drivers from the nvidia website, but it is also there if you run ubuntu restricted driveres...  type  gksudo nvidia-settings
[06:19] <danny3793> dr_Willis: What would you suggest then? I am wanting to get a good quality TV Tuner so I can record TV and games I play
[06:19] <RandomUsr> you have to DEMAND that ati provide a driver
[06:19] <sponix> nickrud, thats part of the issue, I forgot the -C so I have no output, only seeing the process in top tells me its there
[06:19] <dr_Willis> danny3793,  theres nice haupage cards out.
[06:19] <RandomUsr> yes
[06:19] <RandomUsr> I love haupaugw
[06:19] <dew> evening all
[06:19] <stemount> [ir] crAig^: DUal rails... is either hot swap power
[06:19] <dr_Willis> hauppage.
[06:19] <serenityUK> enduro, make sure you click the button to write changes to xorg.conf
[06:19] <RandomUsr> haupage even
[06:19] <dr_Willis> Mythtv is fun to use also.
[06:19] <stemount> or.. just 2 PSU's in one, you just need to put 2 x IEC power into it
[06:19] <serenityUK> hi dew
[06:19] <nickrud> sponix, how long so far?
[06:19] <enduro> serenityUK, cheers - will play tonight
[06:19] <[ir] crAig^> 2 IEC?
[06:19] <danny3793> dr_Willis: and those will work with Ubutnu Feisty?
[06:19] <dew> I'm in need of some input.
[06:20] <stemount> yea.. 2 kettle power leads
[06:20] <stemount> its like 2 PSU's
[06:20] <[ir] crAig^> hmm
[06:20] <AliAslam> I've a question
[06:20] <[ir] crAig^> i know its not hot swap power
[06:20] <stemount> the point being.. to power High graphics cards [ir] crAig^?
[06:20] <orbisvicis> can i create a new user with the same user id of another user?
[06:20] <[ir] crAig^> i'm just trying to figure out exactly what i need.
[06:20] <stemount> it can be for hotswap power
[06:20] <[ir] crAig^> example:
[06:20] <AliAslam> how do I make windows drive accessible in ubuntu
[06:20] <sponix> nickrud: I normally never fsck a drive, but this one started remounting itself ro all the time, and when I look at syslog I have I/O errors
[06:20] <dr_Willis> danny3793,  the Hauppage pvr150 i got for $80 or so works great
[06:20] <orbisvicis> id like for both users to have identical read/write permissions
[06:20] <RandomUsr> anyone no how to get x to recognize a monitor?
[06:20] <nickrud> RandomUsr, almost missed the question: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phiph in the terminal
[06:20] <dew> I've got a startup script that is only running the first item in the list
[06:21] <RandomUsr> nickrud
[06:21] <sponix> 13484 root      18   0 84520  80m  944 D    8  4.0   0:31.80 fsck.ext3
[06:21] <RandomUsr> ok
[06:21] <danny3793> dr_Willis: Awesome, thanks a lot, luckily i decided to come on here before just going out and buying a TV Tuner, I woulda been PO'ed with my original choice :P.
[06:21] <stemount> [ir] crAig^: ?
[06:21] <sponix> nickrud, looks like less than a Minute so far *Grin*
[06:21] <serenityUK> !pastebin | dew
[06:21] <nickrud> sponix, ;P
[06:21] <[ir] crAig^> I calculated the wattage I'll be needing for my entire built computer, its 520W. Now, I need to find out if I can just get a 300W ATX12V PSU w/ DUAL RAILS or do I NEED to get a 520W w/ or w/o DUAL RAILS.
[06:21] <ubotu> dew: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:21] <default_> anyone running the latest ubuntu
[06:21] <dew> serenity.... what?
[06:21] <default_> do you know ere i could find sdpd
[06:21] <stemount> 1 rails will do [ir] crAig^
[06:21] <Wolfsong> does anyone know of a document showing how to resolve a kernel//X module mismatch for nVidia?
[06:21] <dr_Willis> danny3793,  with linux Always research befor buying >:)
[06:21] <stemount> best to get a 600W
[06:21] <danny3793> This is kind of dumb, but how do I tell if I have a PCI-E slot or just PCI?
[06:21] <stemount> for great just
[06:22] <stemount> ice
[06:22] <dr_Willis> danny3793,  heck - that goes with windows also.
[06:22] <luoyu> test
[06:22] <serenityUK> dew you can put the script in pastebin for people to look at
[06:22] <[ir] crAig^> i know stemount, but I'm wondering if the 300W ATX12V DUAL RAILS is able to perform 300W on EACH rail
[06:22] <RandomUsr> nickrud
[06:22] <dr_Willis> danny3793,  the haupage cards are pci. they are not video cards. just tv tuner cards.
[06:22] <serenityUK> dew then paste the url here
[06:22] <stemount> yea.. it will do [ir] crAig^
[06:22] <nickrud> RandomUsr,
[06:22] <dew> serenity.... where's that?
[06:22] <danny3793> dr_Willis: Yeah, I figured I should because I know a lot of people have problems with ATI and I was like 'oh no....ATI' lol
[06:22] <sponix> nickrud, seems like forever though... You ever had ext3 get corrupt like this? I can't remember the last time I had a fs get trashed without me doing something stupid to it
[06:22] <[ir] crAig^> 300W Dual Rail will work if 520W is needed?
[06:22] <serenityUK> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:22] <danny3793> dr_Willis: Oh, Ok :D.
[06:22] <[ir] crAig^> 100% sure?
[06:22] <RandomUsr> valid priorities are low medium high etc
[06:22] <stemount> naww..
[06:22] <stemount> I'd go single rails
[06:22] <[ir] crAig^> lol
[06:22] <[ir] crAig^> I know what you would go
[06:22] <RandomUsr> please specify package
[06:23] <[ir] crAig^> but I'm trying to get a better understanding of Dual Rails.
[06:23] <dr_Willis> danny3793,  ya could have 3+ tuner cards and use mythtv, and have a uber-recording machine. :)
[06:23] <nickrud> sponix, I backspaces over saying how lucky I've been overall with hardware. Never had anything actually fail
[06:23] <RandomUsr> omg
[06:23] <stemount> [ir] crAig^: Dual rails is just basically 2 PSU's in one
[06:23] <[ir] crAig^> so is it 300W per Rail?
[06:23] <stemount> yea..
[06:23] <[ir] crAig^> 100% sure?
[06:23] <Ryuho> lol
[06:23] <RandomUsr> lmfao
[06:23] <stemount> 100%...
[06:23] <danny3793> dr_Willis: LMAO, How would I record more than one thing if I only have one TV? :-P, Also, I have a standard definition TV, There is no sense in buying a HD Tuner is there?
[06:23] <nickrud> Random832, use high, I misspelled itg
[06:23] <Ryuho> you are asking 100% on irc?
[06:23] <[ir] crAig^> I'm getting opinions.
[06:24] <dew> ... hold on
[06:24] <stemount> [ir] crAig^:  I'd just get a single rails 1
[06:24] <dr_Willis> danny3793,  its a TV TUNER card.
[06:24] <[ir] crAig^> Do you have input you'd like to give?
[06:24] <stemount> [ir] crAig^:  600watt
[06:24] <ckin2001> @danny - each tuner card is a TV
[06:24] <dr_Willis> danny3793,  :)
[06:24] <dr_Willis> danny3793,  i record shows and i got no tv at all..
[06:24] <sponix> nickrud: I'm just hoping it comes up better... And also thinking in the back of my mind that my laptop might have a very crappy USB chipset
[06:24] <mu9214> can anyone tell me how to edit a file in the terminal, without using vi, or pico, etc.  just using like cat, and echo, etc. I know how to CREATE files, but now how to edit them..
[06:24] <danny3793> dr_Willis: Yeah, I know but they sell HD ones to record HD tv shows :P.
[06:24] <bryan986> Anyone use fail2ban and can check if theirs creates a pid file? I thought it was supposed to but mine isn't...
[06:25] <stemount> mu9214: nano?
[06:25] <dr_Willis> i dont mess with HD.. got no HD tv's got no HD channels.. got no desire to pay more for HD cartoon network.. :)
[06:25] <nickrud> sponix, I'd do a google on the I/O errors ...
[06:25] <bruenig> mu9214, sed, awk, and grep
[06:25] <cory_> hmmm
[06:25] <mu9214> bruenig: how?
[06:25] <cory_> this is really neat
[06:25] <dew> ..all rght
[06:25] <sponix> nickrud: don't need to, it will just tell me its normally hardware failure
[06:25] <bruenig> mu9214, so complicated
[06:25] <cheeseboy> is there an ubuntu tool to show stats of my net connection? like bandwith and how much is being used?
[06:25] <ckin2001> mu9214 - its much easier to vi / nano / pico than to use sed awk grep
[06:25] <sponix> nickrud: Not what I want to hear ATM
[06:25] <RandomUsr> nickrud, that command doesn't seem to act right
[06:26] <bruenig> mu9214, unless you are scripting, or need it for specific cases, it makes more sense to vim it
[06:26] <danny3793> dr_Willis: Should i get the PVR-350? Or just stick with the 150? I see no difference on either of them so far..
[06:26] <mu9214> ckin2001: i know  but I'm using webmin, and I cant use the javascript ssh client.. just a one line command for unix... so i cant use an actual unix text editor.
[06:26] <RandomUsr> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phiph  ? is that correct?
[06:26] <mu9214> bruenig: see me last response
[06:26] <bruenig> mu9214, I can do something if you have something specific and then explain to you how it does that but there are so many things as you can imagine that to simply say it would bhard
[06:26] <cory_> I'm buying a 58" plasma tv next month.. I cant wait.. but i dont know if I should get any HD programming through Dish Network or not..
[06:26] <nickrud> Random832, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg : that will ask you a couple of questions, and then rebuild your xorg.conf. Nearly always worked (and -phiph was a typo, I think I ate that one already :)
[06:27] <dew> So anyone still out there who has a clue about .sh scripts
[06:27] <bruenig> mu9214, like to simply say, hey this is how you use sed is crazy
[06:27] <ckin2001> use webmin to start sshd
[06:27] <ckin2001> and then putty
[06:27] <ckin2001> and use vi
[06:27] <bruenig> dew, ask your question
[06:27] <serenityUK> cheeseboy, there are many for bandwidth  .. if you want a monthly useage count i recommend  vnstat   it runs in the console very little memory
[06:27] <mu9214> ckin2001:  can't do that at my schools computers.
[06:27] <sponix> nickrud: pretty sad, I had to ctrl+c that and put the -C in for progress, it was driving me crazy otherwise
[06:28] <bruenig> mu9214, give something specific and I will show you
[06:28] <nickrud> sponix, glad you did that, but I wasn't about to recommend it ;)
[06:28] <mu9214> bruenig: say I have file "file.txt" and on line 7 i want to change  some(thing) to (something)  .. just an example.
[06:28] <RandomUsr> why would I want to  sudo-reconfigure and what package do I want to do that with?  to get my monitor recognized by X?
[06:28] <dew> bruenig.... I've written a .sh script that forces my screenlets to load after Beryl... however, after loading Beryl, the script loads only the first screenlet and doesn't continue until that first screenlet is quit.
[06:28] <sponix> nickrud: I'm an old dog, I wouldn't blame you for my fsck-Ups anyway (like my pun)
[06:28] <RandomUsr> correction sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phiph
[06:29] <nickrud> Random832, yes.
[06:29] <ckin2001> dew - add & at the end of the line with the first screenlet
[06:29] <default_> hello :0
[06:29] <default_> anyone here :)
[06:29] <stemount> sponix: ... lol
[06:29] <ckin2001> and each one thereafter
[06:29] <nickrud> Random832, see 2 responses back
[06:29] <dew> ckin.... sweet, really?  That's it?
[06:29] <RandomUsr> nickrud it's RandomUsr
[06:29] <ckin2001> should work
[06:29] <serenityUK> dew, you need to use &   like  'command  &'  to put process in the background and continue
[06:29] <RandomUsr> and that command NO WORKY
[06:29] <stemount> any 1 using Gusy ????
[06:29] <sponix> just watch, I'm gonna go fsck'n around and my drive will get hosed
[06:29] <stemount> gutsy*
[06:30] <dew> serenity and ckin... much obliged, I'm about to go do that. :)
[06:30] <nickrud> RandomUsr, I have a love/hate relationship with tab completion. And, to quote myself: <nickrud> Random832, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg : that will ask you a couple of questions, and then rebuild your xorg.conf. Nearly always worked (and -phiph was a typo, I think I ate that one already :)
[06:30] <serenityUK> stemount, yes
[06:30] <RandomUsr> sponix, whiskey tango foxtrot ?
[06:30] <sponix> stemount, naw, I'm stable only unless I have a spare box
[06:30] <bruenig> mu9214, is there anything about line 7 that makes it unique, like a string that only exists on line 7
[06:30] <stemount> serenityUK: what you reckon of it
[06:30] <RandomUsr> lmfao
[06:30] <RandomUsr> nickrud cool
[06:30] <bruenig> mu9214, I mean are you trying to simple change a string from one thing to another?
[06:30] <stemount> sponix: thats why I am asking for opinons :P
[06:30] <nicholaspaul> i have a folder that fstab uses to mount a usb/SD card, i set chmod to 777, but when it mounts the folder ownership changes to root and i cant delete anything on it. Whats up?
[06:31] <mu9214> there can be.. i guess. if i wanted to edit some html, it would be specific...
[06:31] <default_> ckin2001, does the latest version of ubuntu have sdpd?
[06:31] <mu9214> bruenig: yes. pretty much
[06:31] <BlackChaos> can sum 1 plz give me the command so that i can edit the grub boot menu
[06:31] <sponix> RandomUsr: you have a question ?
[06:31] <bruenig> mu9214, ok so what are you trying to change and what are you trying to change it to?
[06:31] <default_> service discovery protocol daemon
[06:31] <wolfsong> anyone know how to resolve a X/Kernel module mismatch problem with nVidia?
[06:31] <dr_Willis> BlackChaos,  sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst - i SUGGEST you read  some grub docs.. and backup that file first.
[06:31] <serenityUK> stemount,  nice.. compiz-fusion & appAmour built in, gnome 2.20, xorg 7.3... new config for settings etc
[06:31] <stemount> nvidia-xconfig?
[06:31] <stemount> again?
[06:31] <stemount> ^ nice how stable is the gutsy atm?
[06:31] <mu9214> nothing YET, but for an EXAMPLE:    <font face="arial">  to <font face="comic sans ms">
[06:32] <BlackChaos> yea i know i will definitly back up thx alot :)
[06:32] <nickrud> wolfsong, I've heard it said that you have to remove the ubuntu provided nvidia drivers first, and then do the compile.
[06:32] <kauer> [ir] crAig^: Watts is watts. The voltage doesn't matter - you just draw more current (amps) at a lower voltage, less current at higher voltage. Means you need thicker wires, generally, but down at those levels that may not be relevant. If you've calculated you need 520W, then whatever the voltage, you need something able to deliver that many watts.
[06:32] <bruenig> mu9214, ok well if the string arial is nowhere else in the file, you can just do sed 's/arial/comic sans ms//' -i textfile
[06:32] <serenityUK> stemount, sometimes wont shutdown but that might be compiz fusion.. almost no app crashes
[06:32] <RandomUsr> sponix, no you're pun are original tho
[06:32] <serenityUK> stemount, only thing is about 50mb updates eedry day
[06:32] <wolfsong> nickrud: do you know if there is a doc somewhere on that?
[06:32] <serenityUK> every
[06:33] <stemount> serenityUK: nice... I have a 2000k down..
[06:33] <bruenig> mu9214, ir you want all instances of arial changed to comic sans ms, you would do sed 's/arial/comic sans ms/g' -i textfile
[06:33] <stemount> serenityUK: Are you from the UK?
[06:33] <RandomUsr> nickrud, startx failed fatal IO no screen found
[06:33] <nicholaspaul> i have a folder that fstab uses to mount a usb/SD card, i set chmod to 777, but when it mounts the folder ownership changes to root and i cant delete anything on it. Whats up?
[06:33] <serenityUK> sweet, yes London.. it's 5:30am lol
[06:33] <nickrud> !nvidia | wolfsong (this was also quoted)
[06:33] <ubotu> wolfsong (this was also quoted): To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:33] <RandomUsr> attempting to reboot
[06:33] <bruenig> mu9214, oh that first command has a typo: sed 's/arial/comic sans/' -i textfile

[06:36] <erlinux> i have a problem with Ctr+Alt+Backspace
[06:36] <ckin2001> fivetwentysix, you can change the mouse settings in xorg.conf
[06:36] <nickrud> sadly enough, there's this computer lab I used for a while, and the right click was turned off there.
[06:36] <ckin2001> no idea what is necessary
[06:36] <default_> RandomUsr, could you please help me
[06:36] <nicholaspaul> superglue.
[06:36] <RandomUsr> lol
[06:36] <nicholaspaul> What should I set fstab to, to automount a USB Jump Drive?
[06:36] <nickrud> RandomUsr, see above about pastebinit and the stuff I need to see to figure it out
[06:36] <RandomUsr> default_ sure why not
[06:36] <default_> lol
[06:36] <default_> i installed ubuntu 7.04
[06:37] <default_> and bluez, i can not find sdpd
[06:37] <BlackChaos> i edited it but how can i save it
[06:37] <default_> service discovery protocol daemon
[06:37] <ToyImp> I am booted from the Live CD. And I am having problems with installing. The install hangs at 78%. I did a CD integrity check and it states there's an error with one file. I have network capabilities to another computer and I am in the process of downloading the iso again. Can anyone tell me of a website so that I can install over the network, without using floppies?
[06:37] <RandomUsr> nickrud pastebin how, I don't have a browser
[06:37] <erlinux>  i have a problem with Ctr+Alt+Backspace, after installing fglrx it usaully goes blank and fails to load X agian
[06:37] <nickrud> RandomUsr, read back. I gave you a way
[06:37] <chris32680> erlinux: that happened to me this evening
[06:37] <Enul> can someone please tell me where to install a cursor theme?
[06:37] <RandomUsr> doh
[06:37] <chris32680> just rebooted
[06:37] <stemount> serenityUK: LOL. I'm going.... need sleep lol. cya
[06:37] <RandomUsr> arrow up man
[06:37] <serenityUK> me too gn mate
[06:37] <orbisvicis> i have two users, both in the same group. How can they read/write to each other's directories?
[06:38] <stemount> cya! :)
[06:38] <dr_Willis> nicholaspaul,  a usb drive should trigger a dialog/requestor  and auto mount when inserted by default. a fstab entry will DIsABLE that.
[06:38] <default_> RandomUsr, what do you suggest
[06:38] <nicholaspaul> dr_Willis: ahhh thanks :)
[06:38] <BlackChaos> i edited the grub boot menu but i dont see a save option
[06:38] <BlackChaos> how do i save it
[06:38] <erlinux> i have a problem with Ctr+Alt+Backspace and logouts, after installing fglrx it usaully goes blank and fails to load X agian after i logout, switch user and/or press
[06:38] <dr_Willis> BlackChaos,  edited it where? with a text editor? you save the file.
[06:38] <RandomUsr> default_ I'm computer retarded ask someone who knows what they are doing :-)
[06:38] <FFForever> how many ways are there to turn off ubuntu?
[06:39] <serenityUK> orbisvicis, sudo chmod -R g+rw /home/someusr    i think?
[06:39] <BlackChaos> i went 2 file but i dont see a save option
[06:39] <Ashfire908> can you viewimages in a CLI?
[06:39] <cheeseboy> whats command to lsay how many gigabytes out of total disk size are used ?
[06:39] <sponix> nickrud: starting to remember why I don't normally use ext3... This crap is crazy
[06:39] <erlinux> has anyone here installed fglrx (ati driver)
[06:39] <nickrud> erlinux, that's why I stopped using fglrx; it's fixed in the 8.37 in gutsy though
[06:39] <BlackChaos> i edited it in terminal
[06:39] <erlinux> thanx
[06:39] <dr_Willis> BlackChaos,  clarify a bit more.. the grub menu is defined in the menu.lst file.. if you change it.. you save the text file..
[06:39] <Enul> can someone please tell me where to install a cursor theme?
[06:40] <erlinux> you sure fglrx is fixed in gutsy?
[06:40] <BlackChaos> i know that dr willis but i dont see a save option
[06:40] <dr_Willis> BlackChaos,  or are you haveing problems using the text editor?
[06:40] <BlackChaos> no
[06:40] <NemesisD> hi can i start x forwarding once im logged in with ssh without using ssh -X ?
[06:40] <BlackChaos> the grub menu lst is running from terminal
[06:40] <RandomUsr> nickrud
[06:40] <erlinux> nickrud, so fglrx is fixed in gutsy
[06:40] <RandomUsr> code to apt-get pastebinit?
[06:41] <ToyImp> I am booted from the Live CD. And I am having problems with installing. The install hangs at 78%. I did a CD integrity check and it states there's an error with one file. I have network capabilities to another computer and I am in the process of downloading the iso again. Can anyone tell me of a website so that I can install over the network, without using floppies?
[06:41] <sponix> nickrud:  you go straight to ati for your dirvers ?
[06:41] <dr_Willis> BlackChaos, menu.lst is a text file it dosent  'run' you edit it with a editor like nano, or vi.
[06:41] <Enul> no one knows?
[06:41] <BlackChaos> im new 2 linux so i cant really explain
[06:41] <nickrud> erlinux, Works For Me
[06:41] <serenityUK> Enul, i think inside  ~/.icons   a hidden folder in you home directory..  goto View->Show hidden files in the menu
[06:41] <erlinux> k
[06:41] <nicholaspaul> dr_Willis: so once i've edited fstab, will sudo mount -a fix the mess and go back to automounting the USB drive?
[06:41] <Enul> thanks
[06:41] <gsyang> 
[06:41] <RandomUsr> nickrud code to apt-get pastebinit? And hooked on windows worked for me
[06:41] <erlinux> is there a general date for when gutsy is gonna come out?
[06:41] <orbisvicis> serenityUK, so simply being in the same group doesnt mean they can read/write each other's files?

[06:42] <dr_Willis> nicholaspaul,  not if its allready mounted.. mount -a makes all the auto-mounting entrys in the fstab auto mount.
[06:42] <serenityUK> erlinux, I use it but you migt aswell wait 6 weeks
[06:43] <nicholaspaul> erlinux: i would say 'noo. If youre leary of using it, dont.
[06:43] <erlinux> k
[06:43] <dr_Willis> nicholaspaul,  remove fstab entries.. manually unmount the usb things if mounted. remove/reinstert them
[06:43] <sponix> nickrud:  I decided to backup my pr0n before doing that full drive fsck... I have 400+G of movies on there, but if my 40-50G of pr0n went I would be in tears... Already lost 450+ Gigs of pr0n less than 2 months ago :(

[06:45] <erlinux> has anyone been able to use evolution or thunderbird with any mail accounts like hotmail or yahoo, (i usually use gmail, but it would be nice to be able to use other accounts through thunderbird)
[06:45] <serenityUK> orbisvicis, it depends on the permission.. if you do  ls -al     you will see  rwxrwxrwx  for  owner group all     you can mix and match files...  the -R option is recursive and will set the whole home dir to share with the group
[06:45] <RandomUsr> nickrud, dude, how do I use pastebinit from bash to show you what's up?
[06:46] <serenityUK> orbisvicis, that was off the top of my head btw not guarenteed lol
[06:46] <sponix> wtf is pastebinit ?
[06:46] <nickrud> RandomUsr, pastebinit -i <filename>
[06:46] <RandomUsr> saweet
[06:46] <P_Kable> BlackChaos, otherwise you have vi but it is another story. nano is by far the easiest console text editor
[06:46] <riotkittie> yay. i fixed my issue. and then decided not to install dapper after all. :\
[06:46] <sponix> that sounds like a _must_ have thing though
[06:46] <nickrud> RandomUsr, I've been really laggy for a minute or two, looks like its back to normal
[06:46] <RandomUsr> but will that tell me where to have you look nickrud
[06:46] <serenityUK> sponix, pastebin is a place you can put large text and give us the url so you don't flood the channel
[06:46] <Ashfire908> can you view images in a Command line interface system? one without a gui?
[06:46] <RandomUsr> it's cool man ur busy nickrud
[06:46] <BlackChaos> ok thx dr willis
[06:47] <ircleuser> hi
[06:47] <sponix> serenityUK:  I know what pastebin is, just never heard of pastebinit
[06:47] <nickrud> RandomUsr, let me know when you've done it, it'll go to http://paste.stgraber.org
[06:47] <ToyImp> I am booted from the Live CD. And I am having problems with installing. The install hangs at 78%. I did a CD integrity check and it states there's an error with one file. I have network capabilities to another computer and I am in the process of downloading the iso again. Can anyone tell me of a website so that I can install over the network, without using floppies?
[06:47] <riotkittie> piiiiiiiiico <3 errrr naaaaano <3
[06:47] <riotkittie> Ashfire908 > no
[06:47] <ToyImp> Can someone help please
[06:47] <sponix> RandomUsr:  pastbinit in the deb archives ?
[06:47] <serenityUK> sponix, pastebin it
[06:47] <serenityUK> lol
[06:47] <riotkittie> unless its like. an image comprised of sweet little ascii characters.  :x
[06:48] <riotkittie> but i may be wrong there. otoh. i'm just not seeing it.
[06:49] <sponix> if ext3 is going to be this retarded and hose my journal I might as well use ext4 and get a speed boost :P
[06:49] <CoasterMaster> ToyImp: try these directions http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2493&postcount=2
[06:51] <sponix> nickrud:  you use ext3? I normally use reiserfs, jfs, or xfs ... went with ext3 for winXP compat with IFS
[06:52] <CoasterMaster> holy netsplit
[06:52] <xIke> wtf
[06:53] <r00723r0> wow
[06:53] <r00723r0> ALL of my scrollback is satured with netsplit
[06:53] <CoasterMaster> first netsplit?
[06:53] <r00723r0> watch, joinflood like mad
[06:53] <CoasterMaster> it's my favorite
[06:53] <CoasterMaster> grab some popcorn!

[06:54] <BugsCrash> I need help to mount a partition hdc5 on fstab. Please
[06:55] <r00723r0> i should have /quit Peer pressure
[06:55] <elite101> hello?

[06:55] <elite101> im i going deaf?
[06:55] <elite101> hello
[06:55] <r00723r0> paste it
[06:55] <r00723r0> hi elite101
[06:55] <elite101> why is there only 157nicks?
[06:55] <r00723r0> elite101: netsplit
[06:55] <elite101> i encouterd a Tsunami off nicks
[06:55] <elite101> :) it was great
[06:55] <r00723r0> it was legendary
[06:56] <elite101> thats cool why does that happen?
[06:56] <elite101> it was intense
[06:56] <BugsCrash> [r00723r0] : ?
[06:56] <r00723r0> net split
[06:56] <r00723r0> which means
[06:56] <elite101> yeah please explain
[06:56] <r00723r0> the servers aren't connected anymore
[06:56] <r00723r0> now they reconnect
[06:56] <elite101> lol
[06:56] <elite101> how come i didnt sign off?
[06:56] <CoasterMaster> if it was somewhere in the middle, we'd never know
[06:56] <CoasterMaster> how unstable his connection is
[06:56] <r00723r0> irc protocol (rfc 1459 for those interested) is a multiple server connection
[06:56] <r00723r0> nobody signs off during a netsplit
[06:56] <xIke> anybody else just see several thousand people get kicked?
[06:57] <elite101> wow thats intense it was like 2mins of nicks
[06:57] <r00723r0> it wasn't getting kicked
[06:57] <r00723r0> damnit
[06:57] <r00723r0> let me explain
[06:57] <r00723r0> those people that got "kicked" are still online
[06:57] <r00723r0> on their server
[06:57] <elite101> lol now there is only 156nicks on #ubuntu where there should be a thousand
[06:57] <r00723r0> in fact, they see the same thing
[06:57] <nickrud> RandomUsr, no
[06:57] <PovAddict_> whoa :D
[06:57] <r00723r0> LEGENDARY.
[06:57] <elite101> omg
[06:57] <CoasterMaster> there are several servers serving this channel and they desynchronized
[06:57] <elite101> weee
[06:57] <slap_me> i <3 splits
[06:57] <RandomUsr> derrr'
[06:57] <elite101> hahah
[06:57] <slap_me> = )
[06:57] <r00723r0> see, the other server thinks we got netsplitted
[06:57] <serenityUK> eaglescout, open file browser and goto File->Connect to server..  then choose sama share to browse window shares.  You may want to use ip address instead of machine name
[06:57] <elite101> ahhh
[06:57] <Enul> i am looking for a good theme.. can someone please tell me where i can find some?

[06:58] <nickrud> RandomUsr, that's encouraging cuz mine was 3211
[06:58] <eaglescout> I'm trying to work from Windows box to Ubuntu box
[06:58] <sponix> nickrud:  know what the name of the channel is to gripe ?
[06:58] <RandomUsr> lol
[06:58] <elite101> omg
[06:58] <stickto> xtknight:yes, I want to watch CNN video podcast online, which provides the stream of this format
[06:59] <elite101> its
[06:59] <elite101> like
[06:59] <elite101> a
[06:59] <RandomUsr> is it there nickrud?
[06:59] <elite101> passing train
[06:59] <nickrud> sponix, #ubuntu-devel (but don't say I sent you ;)
[06:59] <elite101> weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
[06:59] <nickrud> RandomUsr, yes. Now, the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:59] <xtknight> stickto, sorry not sure i can help you there.  most of the time it's due to lmitations like CNN saying you have no supported browser, etc
[06:59] <sponix> nickrud:  I think its retarded that I can install 4 diff webservers (apache tinyhttpd etc) but if I go to install proftpd && vsftpd it tells me that it can't be done
[06:59] <xtknight> stickto, see if you can find a greasemonkey script for CNN, perhaps
[06:59] <elite101> sorry i was lagging
[07:00] <RandomUsr> nickrud
[07:00] <nickrud> sponix, what errors do you get?
[07:00] <RandomUsr> 3213
[07:00] <eaglescout> can access Apache server using IP address. Want to load files from Dreamweaver FTP
[07:00] <RandomUsr> nickrud 3213
[07:00] <RandomUsr> but what about lspci nickrud?
[07:00] <stickto> xtknight: thanks for your ideas :)
[07:00] <elite101> wow that was insane?
[07:00] <nickrud> RandomUsr, now     lspci > ~/lspci.output    and send me that. I'll be reading 3213
[07:00] <xIke> what was with the 1000 quits/joins?
[07:00] <Flannel> eaglescout: You'll need an FTP server then.
[07:00] <Flannel> !netsplit | xIke
[07:00] <ubotu> xIke: netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[07:00] <serenityUK> eaglescout, you can do FTP aswell using file browser...  File->Connect to server.. there is a menu
[07:01] <sponix> nickrud:  it acts like its a package conflict, and that's not the case vsftpd doesn't use outside libs
[07:01] <riotkittie> Err. Stupid question, somewhat offtopic but somewhat relevant. I'm limited to WEP under Linux with my current USB wireless adapter, and i get the impression that WEP is no bueno. is that excessive paranoia on my part?
[07:01] <eaglescout> serenity, thaks from Ubuntu end right?
[07:01] <CoasterMaster> riotkittle: sort of
[07:01] <serenityUK> yes.
[07:01] <Jobias> when you're partitioning an HDD for an ubuntu install, what's the difference between a primary partition and a logical partition?
[07:01] <RandomUsr> nickrud 3214
[07:01] <CoasterMaster> riotkittle: even WPA will not keep out anyone that really wants in
[07:02] <RandomUsr> this command line version of pastebit rocks
[07:02] <eaglescout> I'm trying to go from Windoz to Ubuntu box
[07:02] <CoasterMaster> riotkittle: but WEP is considerably easier to break
[07:02] <sponix> apt-get install vsftpd <enter> "The following packages will be REMOVED:  gadmintools gproftpd proftpd proftpd-mysql proftpd-pgsql"
[07:02] <ckin2001> riot - wep is breakable in under 5 minutes
[07:02] <serenityUK> ooooo
[07:02] <riotkittie> ok. then i'll just disconnect every 2.5 mins and change my key.  :x
[07:02] <simplechat> hey
[07:02] <sponix> nickrud:  I should be able to run 50 ftpd's all of diff flavors from different inet ports if I freaking want to !
[07:02] <Evanlec> lol
[07:03] <simplechat> can i use rpm's with ubuntu?
[07:03] <nickrud> sponix, probably ;)
[07:03] <simplechat> or would that break apt?
[07:03] <Evanlec> simplechat - quite simply no
[07:03] <Evanlec> ;p
[07:03] <nickrud> RandomUsr, ok, it's a problem with your horizontal and vertical syncs. Exactly what monitor do you have?
[07:03] <riotkittie> simplechat>  yes. use alien.
[07:03] <Evanlec> right, unless u convert them to .deb packages
[07:03] <riotkittie> but you're better off compiling from source if a .deb is unavailable
[07:03] <riotkittie> imo. and just my opinion.
[07:03] <riotkittie> :P
[07:03] <Evanlec> true
[07:03] <RandomUsr> nickrud, how should I know? it's a laptop
[07:04] <eaglescout> serenity, any more advice?
[07:04] <RandomUsr> I can try changing things?
[07:04] <riotkittie> or maybe someone else's opinion.
[07:04] <nickrud> RandomUsr, darn, how old is this laptop?
[07:04] <serenityUK> eaglescout, if you right-click on a folder in your home dir you can choose share folder i think.. i have not done it that way...
[07:04] <Kassah> how do I add the DOM Inpsector back into FireFox?
[07:04] <serenityUK> eaglescout, if you set up an smb/samba share you can browse that from windows
[07:05] <nickrud> RandomUsr, not very I gues
[07:05] <eaglescout> I have the var/www set to share and have samba set up
[07:05] <RandomUsr> like three weeks nickrud
[07:05] <riotkittie> maybe i'll win this auction. :|  i'm so sick of expee.
[07:05] <RandomUsr> brand new Dell inspiron 1520 nickrud
[07:05] <simplechat> Evanlec, ok
[07:05] <eaglescout> understand there is something extra I have to do to make Vista work,,,,piece of crap!
[07:05] <simplechat> can you recommend on a way to install openvz then?
[07:06] <serenityUK> eaglescout, can you not browse to it from windows using ip address?
[07:06] <riotkittie> or maybe someone will feel obsessive compulsive enough to add wpa support to the prism2 drivers. soon.
[07:06] <RandomUsr> nickrud I don't see a line in xorg.conf for hsync and vsync, do you get the same?] 
[07:06] <nickrud> RandomUsr, you'd create it. I'm looking at gentoo and ubuntu forums, a sec
[07:07] <eaglescout> only see site files via FF browser, can't open anything on Ubuntu box
[07:07] <RandomUsr> nickrud, why did the installer leave it out?  sorry too many questions
[07:08] <nickrud> RandomUsr, too new, needs a newer driver. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=501195
[07:08] <riotkittie> does going the ndiswrapper route allow for wpa?
[07:08] <xtknight> riotkittie, ya it should
[07:09] <eaglescout> serenity, I guess the problem starts with smb/samba set up
[07:09] <RandomUsr> nickrud, then how did three other distros know what to do?
[07:09] <RandomUsr> nickrud, Am I  SOL?
[07:09] <riotkittie> xtknight: thanks :D
[07:09] <nickrud> RandomUsr, not necessarily; there are instructions on that page.
[07:09] <xtknight> RandomUsr, what's the problem?
[07:10] <RandomUsr> nickrud, I go I read  Growl
[07:10] <nickrud> RandomUsr, linux requires much reading :)
[07:10] <RandomUsr> I know this man
[07:10] <csc`> nickrud: lies
[07:10] <slap_me> reading is for men
[07:10] <csc`> nickrud: it requires a brain
[07:10] <csc`> ;)
[07:11] <aSt3raL> heh
[07:11] <elite101> hello:)
[07:11] <eaglescout> reading...wuz that
[07:11] <elite101> wich channel has the most people on it ?
[07:11] <leaves_> hi, where can i find the boot up log and shut down log?
[07:12] <xtknight> leaves_, there are many in /var/log/ such as messages (higher numbers are older logs).  usually just one comprises boot/shutdown
[07:12] <slap_me> mm
[07:13] <RandomUsr> nickrud, the instructions state that I need to move from kernel 2.6.20-15 to 2.6.20-16
[07:13] <slap_me> sweet, tried installing clam, and gave me errors
[07:13] <eaglescout> how do you use gksudo?
[07:13] <slap_me> whats a good av for ubuntu
[07:13] <xtknight> "nothing"
[07:13] <RandomUsr> is that gonna kill me nickrud?
[07:13] <nickrud> leaves_,  also, bootchart is something nice for looking at that stuff
[07:13] <xtknight> cmon do you get viruses on ubuntu?
[07:13] <slap_me> i want av for ubuntu for my windows partition
[07:13] <slap_me> i dont want to dl infected stuff to my windows partition
[07:13] <nickrud> RandomUsr, no, it'll be smooth. Install linux-generic , and you'll always have the latest kernel
[07:13] <RandomUsr> as if I know what I'm doing
[07:13] <bruenig> slap_me, like what?
[07:13] <RandomUsr> I'll prolly break it
[07:14] <ToyImp> like the bit... oh nm
[07:14] <slap_me> like what what?
[07:14] <leaves_> nickrud, what is bootchart? a program?
[07:14] <bruenig> slap_me, what sort of viruses are you talking about
[07:14] <Flannel> leaves_: it is
[07:14] <slap_me> any
[07:14] <slap_me> that can affect windows
[07:14] <RandomUsr> can I apt-get the kernel nickrud?
[07:14] <bruenig> slap_me, you download a lot of strange exes in ubuntu and save them to run windows?
[07:14] <bruenig> run in*
[07:14] <slap_me> if i dl something, and want to transfer to windows, i dont wanna virii up my windows
[07:14] <nickrud> RandomUsr, two things, and you can always recover: always use one of the package managers (synaptic, apt-get or aptitude) to install stuff, and always make a backup of something you change. You can always recover then
[07:14] <slap_me> no
[07:15] <slap_me> but still, i like some sort of av, just in case
[07:15] <leaves_> ok thanks, i will look around
[07:15] <nickrud> leaves_, yes, sudo aptitude install bootchart
[07:15] <bruenig> slap_me, but if the files themselves are good, then there is no problem
[07:15] <xtknight> slap_me, viruses have no effect unless they're run
[07:15] <RandomUsr> apt-get 2.6.20-16 will that work?
[07:15] <slap_me> stop it
[07:15] <slap_me> asked a question
[07:15] <xtknight> slap_me, you can just scan before running them under windows
[07:15] <slap_me> dont need to be interrogated
[07:15] <eaglescout> RTFM?
[07:15] <nickrud> RandomUsr, like I said, sudo aptitude install linux-generic
[07:15] <xtknight> slap_me, if there are viruses the files can be deleted
[07:15] <RandomUsr> gottit
[07:15] <slap_me> true xtknight
[07:15] <f0rtune> lol
[07:15] <bruenig> slap_me, well there is nothing that fits your goal because nothing so utterly useless has been created
[07:15] <RandomUsr> eaglescout, who was that for?
[07:15] <bruenig> that is why we asked
[07:16] <slap_me> there is av for linux though bruenig
[07:16] <xtknight> lol
[07:16] <bruenig> slap_me, but for clients that serve windows machines, your usage of it is rather pointless
[07:16] <slap_me> no, its not serving windows, its to scan stuff for virii, cuz i know linux doesnt get virii, but windows does...
[07:16] <serenityUK> eaglescout, sorry i was away..  you prefix a command with gksudo   like   gksudo gedit  and it will ask for password and do thing as root
[07:17] <slap_me> usually, people in here are polite, but you must be an exception to that
[07:17] <bruenig> slap_me, no but I mean the anti virus stuff is created for machines that serve windows machines
[07:17] <RandomUsr> nickrud, worked like a charm
[07:17] <f0rtune> whats the command to list all the channels in an irc server
[07:17] <|Steve|> Copied from #ubuntu-powerpc:  I bought a new switch today, when I plug my ubuntu computer into the switch, it fails to bring the interface up yet when I plug it back into the router it does so nicely. When I plug other computers/hardware into the switch it comes up immediately. Is there anything special I need to do?
[07:17] <xtknight> f0rtune, /list
[07:17] <eaglescout> got it...just joking about the RTFM comment
[07:17] <nickrud> RandomUsr, write down the stuff I said about how not to break your machine :)
[07:17] <lorph> how do I make apache startup at boot in ubuntu??
[07:17] <slap_me> could have just said a name, and it woulda been done...no reason to bombard with the sarcasm and wit
[07:17] <f0rtune> xtknight: thank you kindly
[07:17] <Flannel> lorph: it does by default
[07:18] <Ahadiel> lorph, it does by default
[07:18] <lorph> even if i just installed from source?
[07:18] <RandomUsr> nickrud, nah my machine is unbreakable
[07:18] <xtknight> lorph, control apache startup via system prefs services
[07:18] <bruenig> slap_me, it doesn't work the way you are considering it to work is what I am saying, if you ask me if there is a utility for something crazily unnecessary and I try to specify what you are talking about because it sounds crazily unnecessary and then I figure out that my initial thought was indeed what you were talking about, what am I supposed to do?
[07:18] <Flannel> lorph: No.  Why'd you do that?
[07:18] <lorph> because it came with apache 2.0 and people said to install 2.2
[07:18] <Flannel> lorph: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[07:18] <serenityUK> eaglescout, from windows you should be able to browse local network to find the samba share... what do you mean using firefox? to the apache webserver?
[07:18] <lorph> i am running edgy eft 6.10
[07:19] <Flannel> lorph: if you're looking for the latest software versions, you might consider upgrading to feisty (which has 2.2)
[07:19] <eaglescout> yes serenity, FF to the web server
[07:19] <slap_me> so, nobody has ever wanted to scan something in ubuntu, so it doesnt infect windows?
[07:19] <slap_me> thats so crazy?
[07:19] <RandomUsr> nickrud, still running with 2.6.20-15

[07:19] <Flannel> slap_me: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/utils/clamav
[07:19] <nickrud> RandomUsr, reboot. For hardware changes, or the kernel, you need to reboot
[07:19] <slap_me> Flannel,  then why is bruenig being suck a reject about it
[07:19] <lorph> flannel: I duno how to do that, I have a VPS that imaged 6.10 for me
[07:19] <RandomUsr> I did man
[07:19] <serenityUK> eaglescout, well if it on a local network at a pinch you could d/l the files over http lol...  serve them on a web site
[07:19] <xtknight> clamav scans for windows viruses?
[07:19] <slap_me> he's acting like its this CRAZY idea
[07:19] <RandomUsr> nickrud I did

[07:20] <wolferine> slap_me, look for virus on linux, via google
[07:20] <RandomUsr> I just want GUI ubuntu on this laptop and I'm good to go
[07:20] <bruenig> slap_me, it wasn't only me, your application of it is non effectual is what I was saying
[07:20] <Flannel> xtknight: it has way too much data to be scanning for linux viruses.
[07:20] <slap_me> right...
[07:20] <nickrud> RandomUsr, uname -a, what kernel does that say you're running
[07:20] <slap_me> so me wanting to not infect windows = non effectual?
[07:21] <slap_me> not only mine, but friends...
[07:21] <MissDjax> hello
[07:21] <bruenig> slap_me, look up the word non effectual
[07:21] <serenityUK> welcome
[07:21] <eaglescout> serenity...what I want to do is to is use the apache server to test with but need to move files within Windoz Lan

[07:21] <bruenig> words*
[07:21] <RandomUsr> nickrud ^^^
[07:21] <wolferine> now your worried about infecting windows, when your not running it, but ubuntu ?
[07:21] <Flannel> eaglescout: You need an FTP server
[07:21] <slap_me> no
[07:21] <slap_me> i have both os's
[07:21] <slap_me> i sue both
[07:21] <slap_me> use*
[07:21] <kisp> is everybody here now?
[07:21] <slap_me> and my friends all use windows...
[07:21] <whatthe> k guys im back
[07:21] <bruenig> producing or capable of producing an intended effect
[07:21] <wolferine> then scan for virus for windows, when your using windows
[07:21] <xtknight> ^
[07:22] <RandomUsr> after I have the new kernel running nickrud, I'm good to go
[07:22] <kisp> s everybody here now?
[07:22] <slap_me> pmg!
[07:22] <bruenig> non effectual therefore means that it will not achieve your intended affect
[07:22] <eaglescout> OK flannel, supposedly I have FTP server installed under ubuntu
[07:22] <wolferine> if your friends all jumped off a cliff, would u ?
[07:22] <kisp> who can answer my Q
[07:22] <Ryuho> wolferine i would
[07:22] <nickrud> Random832, saw it. If you ran sudo aptitude linux-image and rebooted, you will be running -16. Done this stuff too many times to be uncertain
[07:22] <bruenig> slap_me, at least no more than holding your hand on your head and jumping up three times with your eyes closed does
[07:22] <serenityUK> eaglescout, apache might have one built in .. many webservers do
[07:22] <whatthe> MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[07:22] <nickrud> Random832, *install in there, of course
[07:22] <spikeb> they have scanners for email servers, but i dont know if there's like a general scan for windows viruses just because i told you to type deal
[07:22] <Flannel> Apache does not.  eaglescout, you'll need to intstall one.
[07:23] <wolferine> kisp, at no point can 'everyone be here'
[07:23] <Flannel> slap_me: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV also, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixAmavisNewClamAVSpamAssassin might be of some help.
[07:23] <lorph> flannel: if I don't want to upgrade to feisty fawn yet, can I still get my compiled apache2.2 to run on boot?
[07:23] <RandomUsr> nickrud, paste the exact code so I can check myself?
[07:23] <Flannel> !bum | lorph
[07:23] <slap_me> yes flannel
[07:23] <ubotu> lorph: 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

[07:30] <cizarr> someone know for a good alternative app like Babylon translator for nix?

[07:30] <wolferine> try and run a simple app remotely
[07:31] <sport> how do i add a user to the root group?
[07:31] <NemesisD> wolferine, like what? just type gedit or something?
[07:31] <nickrud> sport, if you mean give them sudo privileges, sudo adduser <user> admin
[07:32] <NemesisD> wolferine, x apps just return "cannot open display: "
[07:32] <WinXpNewb> Hello, anyone around?
[07:32] <mtx1> is it common for tar files like .tar.bz2 to get corrupt? just wondering if i should backup my data tared or leave it alone and burn like it is...its 80 gb
[07:32] <wolferine> NemesisD, whats the ssh command to connect ?
[07:32] <MeRodent> sport: alternatively use system/administration/users and groups
[07:33] <NemesisD> wolferine, oh wait im dumb i thought that it was supposed to give you a remote desktop or something if you used -X
[07:33] <sport> i might be confused can u add any user to the root group?
[07:33] <AncientRelic> WinXpNewb: what's your query?
[07:33] <MeRodent> yes but it's better to add to admin
[07:33] <NemesisD> wolferine, i think it may be working after all
[07:34] <NemesisD> wolferine, i deserved that ;)
[07:34] <sport> MeRodent this is for a ubuntu server and has to do with file permission and login more then adminastation
[07:34] <NemesisD> first time using ssh ever
[07:34] <RandomUsr> ok how can I use aptitude to search/view available packages?
[07:34] <wolferine> NemesisD, small app, xeyes
[07:34] <WinXpNewb> Using Linux Mint and don't know how to set permissions for external hd so I could create folders and put files into it. Is this possible?
[07:34] <wolferine> NemesisD, that should work when you ssh in
[07:35] <nickrud> RandomUsr, aptitude search <partial package name>      or    apt-cache search <word in name or description>
[07:35] <NemesisD> wolferine, yeah ive already got synaptic working and such so im cool
[07:35] <AncientRelic> WinXpNewb: How is the external drive formatted?
[07:36] <WinXpNewb> ntfs I think. I was using it on winxp before. I'm not sure how to check it on Mint
[07:36] <wolferine> NemesisD, nice, google 'ubuntu guide', you will get everything setup in no time
[07:36] <serenityUK> !ntfs-3d | WinXpNewb
[07:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs-3d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:36] <WinXpNewb> Oh wait, yes it is in ntfs
[07:36] <serenityUK> !ntfs-3g | WinXpNewb
[07:36] <ubotu> WinXpNewb: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[07:36] <serenityUK> oops
[07:37] <WinXpNewb> Ok, thanks
[07:37] <Hadeshorn> Hi everyone, im trying to install ubuntu 7.04
[07:37] <Ryuho> cute sn
[07:37] <starkbucks> I also tried that for the NTFS write permissions, didn't work for me
[07:37] <kahrytan> WinXpNewb, ntfs-3g is slow so be prepared.
[07:37] <AncientRelic> WinXpNewb: or you could reformat it to Ext3
[07:37] <Hadeshorn> and when i say install ubuntu, screen goes black and my caps lock light flashes
[07:37] <Hadeshorn> any ideas?
[07:37] <AncientRelic> I find its easier to setup XP to read Ext3 than Linux to do NTFS
[07:37] <starkbucks> came up 'cannot mount' when I had ntfs-3g loaded
[07:38] <NemesisD> wolferine, uh oh, i got dropped and now when i try to reconnect i get connection refused
[07:38] <kahrytan> starkbucks, use the ntfs tool
[07:38] <starkbucks> I did do...same result
[07:38] <serenityUK> Hadeshorn, if you press f6 at the mennu and delete splash from the boot options.. it will remove the logo so you can see any error messages.. you ight also want to delete quiet for more output
[07:38] <NemesisD> nm im back, that scared me
[07:39] <Hadeshorn> Serenity: It said something about invalid mapping or something
[07:39] <starkbucks> Does anyone know how to sync windows mobile devices (HTc p3600) and also get the usb modem working?
[07:39] <Hadeshorn> im running an amd 64 and used that version of ubuntu
[07:39] <Hadeshorn> also got a ATI card
[07:40] <JFr3ak> hello, can somebody suggest to me an antivirus please...
[07:40] <mtx1> JFr3ak, clamav
[07:40] <Hadeshorn> Says something like "kernel alive" and there is another line underneath it which i cant read fast enough
[07:40] <WinXpNewb> Ok, I'll see how slow ntfs-g is first.
[07:40] <wolferine> NemesisD, and you want me to do what ?
[07:40] <JFr3ak> mtx1, thks, but is it for all files or just 4 mails ??
[07:40] <wolferine> NemesisD, you got yourself into the situation :)
[07:41] <serenityUK> Hadeshorn, you need to be more specific with the error..
[07:41] <mtx1> all files
[07:41] <Qodosh> What is the UID of initial admin account on ubuntu?
[07:41] <NemesisD> wolferine, just ignore me, i'm just yammering, i'm done now
[07:41] <serenityUK> Hadeshorn, doesn't it stop when there is a problem?
[07:41] <mtx1> there is an avg for linux also
[07:41] <AncientRelic> How do I get my system to recognize an added hard drive?
[07:41] <starkbucks> Does avg slow down your system on linux like it does on ubuntu?
[07:41] <AncientRelic> as in automount it when I boot?
[07:41] <Hadeshorn> serenity im trying to get more specific. bastard is fast.. and screen goes black
[07:42] <Kinks> AncientRelic: you learn about this fun thing called /etc/fstab
[07:42] <starkbucks> grrr *windows not ubuntu
[07:42] <|Steve|> "fun"
[07:42] <RandomUsr> nickrud, dude, I was searching for the exact kernel image I was searching for the image I already had installed,
[07:42] <serenityUK> !fstab |  AncientRelic
[07:42] <ubotu> AncientRelic: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[07:42] <Kinks> oh it's very fun
[07:42] <AncientRelic> Kinks: is there a GUI tool?
[07:42] <RandomUsr> you could have stated I should name the image when installing
[07:42] <Qodosh> I took away admin privalege from my only admin account and made it a normal user from KDE admin tools. I was wondering, what is the right UID to set it back to the way it was?
[07:42] <Kinks> I'll say "yes" just because I doubt there isn't noe
[07:42] <Kinks> but I have no examples
[07:42] <Kinks> one*
[07:42] <RandomUsr> nickrud, does everyone have a sense of humor like yours?
[07:42] <RandomUsr> hehehe
[07:42] <JFr3ak> what do you think about kaspersky ?
[07:42] <Hadeshorn> serenity
[07:42] <Flannel> Qodosh: add it to the admin group
[07:42] <Kinks> unless by GUI you include pico /etc/fstab
[07:43] <nickrud> RandomUsr, no, you don't use the exact name.     linux-image    is what you install.
[07:43] <Hadeshorn> i got rid of the spalsh
[07:43] <Kinks> :D
[07:43] <Hadeshorn> it seems to not like a USB device
[07:43] <Qodosh> Flannel: Command?
[07:43] <starkbucks> I used to have Kas on my windows machine, took forever to run a scan
[07:43] <Hadeshorn> usb 1-8: device not accepting address 9
[07:43] <starkbucks> ...and I mean forever
[07:43] <RandomUsr> nickrud, that didn't work, I did it my way and now I have 2.6.20-16-generic
[07:43] <doorsman|> i can't get my usual (and registred) nick wich is doorsman how can i know who is using it ?
[07:43] <Flannel> Qodosh: you can do it through the same admin tools
[07:43] <Hadeshorn> wait: its doing more stuff
[07:43] <sport> what would be the chmod to allow people to add files to a ftp server but not delete them
[07:43] <serenityUK> Hadeshorn, is that where it stops?  doesn't sound likeit would kill everything
[07:43] <Hadeshorn> its loading
[07:43] <serenityUK> ah
[07:43] <Flannel> doorsman|: /msg nickserv help ghost
[07:43] <nickrud> RandomUsr, erm,  linux-generic (which installs linux-image-generic  (which installs the latest kernel 2.6.20-16-generic))
[07:44] <Qodosh> Flannel: my admin tools disappeared since he has less privs now
[07:44] <Qodosh> Flannel: that was the problem.
[07:44] <Flannel> Qodosh: Ah, well, you won't be able to do it on that account, obviously.
[07:44] <Hadeshorn> it loaded up more stuff
[07:44] <Hadeshorn> and the screen just went black
[07:44] <RandomUsr> it's installed nickrud, now how do I remove the 2.6.20-15-generic? lol
[07:44] <Hadeshorn> wait
[07:44] <Qodosh> Flannel: thats why I su into root, and did command
[07:44] <Hadeshorn> some music just played
[07:44] <manub686> Hi
[07:44] <manub686> How can I know the device node created by udev for a device I plug in?
[07:44] <Flannel> Qodosh: Oh, 'only', I read 'old'.  You'll need to... erm, why do you have a root password?
[07:44] <Hadeshorn> but screen is still black
[07:44] <Qodosh> Flannel: I tried to change uid
[07:44] <AncientRelic> so Kinks, I've got a ext3 partition on /dev/sda3
[07:44] <serenityUK> Qodosh, did you set the root password?
[07:44] <nickrud> RandomUsr, I usually keep around the second to last kernel, just for the security of it.
[07:45] <RandomUsr> nice
[07:45] <AncientRelic> how should I format the line on /etc/fstab?
[07:45] <Qodosh> serenityUK: Of course.
[07:45] <RandomUsr> well I'm off for now and we'll see what happens
[07:45] <Flannel> Qodosh: Why?
[07:45] <Qodosh> Flannel: I did  usermod -u to change the uid back to admin, it messed stuff up, so I changed it back to 1000
[07:45] <serenityUK> Qodosh, well you can use   su   to change to root user and do anything
[07:46] <Flannel> Qodosh: usermod -G admin -a username
[07:46] <Qodosh> serenityUK: that's great, and I know that, but I want to be able to use admin tools in kde
[07:46] <sport> what is the chmod to allow the user and owner of a folder to be able to upload file to but not delete from a ftp
[07:46] <Flannel> Qodosh: you don't need to have a root password, you don't need to use the root account.
[07:46] <serenityUK> you add your old account to the admin group
[07:46] <serenityUK> if you type groups username you can see if the add worked
[07:47] <Qodosh> Flannel: For the tasks I do I need root. It keeps saying I need to be root when I do server management.
[07:47] <Flannel> Qodosh: Ubuntu uses sudo instead of root.
[07:47] <Flannel> !sudo | Qodosh
[07:47] <ubotu> Qodosh: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:47] <doorsman> thx. another thing. where an i get the x-mplayer2 plugin for mozilla firefox ?
[07:47] <Qodosh> ubotu: I know, but I dont want to retype the command each time I do something in shell.
[07:47] <Flannel> Qodosh: and for stuff like this, where we've messed up sudo, we have the recovery console.  (obviously, try not to mess up sudo)
[07:48] <Flannel> Qodosh: If you need to do a bunch of stuff, use `sudo -i` to start a root shell.
[07:48] <Calix> anyone know how to make my terminal app mrxvt run zsh when i open it?
[07:48] <kahrytan> Qodosh, ubotu is a bot.
[07:48] <Qodosh> Why does it matter if I have a root pass, there is no remote access to my system. And I can only log into root temp from a shell
[07:48] <Calix> Qodosh: "sudo su -" without the quotes works too
[07:48] <MissDjax> hmm seems noone saw my question :op
[07:49] <nickrud> oh, sudo su - is so ugly
[07:49] <AncientRelic> it happens MissDjax
[07:49] <MissDjax> I guess
[07:49] <AncientRelic> whatcha need?
[07:49] <serenityUK> Hadeshorn, sorry i lost you there..  try booting in safe graphics mode from the menu.. and also disabling the splash logo
[07:50] <Qodosh> Seriously though, is there a reason not to have a root pass when you dont have remote login?
[07:50] <Hadeshorn> serenity: it seems to have issues with the splash menu
[07:50] <Calix> I'm trying to get my terminal app to run in conjunction with zsh, anyone know how to do this?
[07:50] <Hadeshorn> serenity: i disabled the splash and it works
[07:50] <Hadeshorn> serenity: i have a mouse icon with a brownish background
[07:50] <MissDjax> here again:
[07:50] <MissDjax> question: I have troubles using my custom keys on my Logitech iTouch keyboard, every key is working apart volumelower and volumeraise for some reason. It worked till few days ago though. The shortkeys are set in the gnome shortkey menu though. Dunno what went wrong
[07:50] <Hadeshorn> serenity: music just played, logo came on
[07:51] <Flannel> Qodosh: Check out that page, it explains the benefits rather well
[07:51] <AncientRelic> ah, sorry can't help
[07:51] <Hadeshorn> serenity: cant move the mouse tho
[07:51] <vexati0n> Q: OS X is technically Unix, right? so, why is there no compatibility-layer for OS X apps on Linux?
[07:51] <NemesisD> what can i do to prevent SSH sessions from timing out?
[07:51] <serenityUK> Hadeshorn, is the cd still loading?
[07:51] <Qodosh> Flannel: Alright, well thanks for the help, I forgot -a when typing usermod -G lol
[07:52] <Hadeshorn> serenity: the desktop has come up
[07:52] <nickrud> vexati0n, that's where apple makes it's money
[07:52] <serenityUK> vexati0n, because OSX is a propriatory API ontop of a unix shell
[07:52] <Hadeshorn> serenity: i think its finished loading
[07:52] <Hadeshorn> serenity: mouse doesnt seem to be working, whats a keyboard shortcut for the desktop so i can see if my machine isnt frozen
[07:52] <serenityUK> Alt-F2
[07:53] <Flannel> Hadeshorn: ctrl-alt-backspace will restart your X server
[07:53] <Hadeshorn> serenity
[07:53] <Hadeshorn> YAY IT WORKS!
[07:53] <serenityUK> Flannel, it's the live cd
[07:53] <Flannel> serenityUK: X isn't the whole machine.  ctrl-alt-backspace will still work as prescibed
[07:54] <Qodosh> FlanneL: after reading the page I still dont see much of a difference from sudo -i  then having to type su then root password since I can only login into root in a shell which I typically close after I finish my task, that and I dont allow remote logins on this comptuer, and my fedora box I disabled root logins on ssh.
[07:54] <doms> were i can download dev c++ for linuxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[07:54] <Hadeshorn> flannel: thanks
[07:54] <serenityUK> Hadeshorn, so I guess that USB complaint was the mouse...
[07:54] <Flannel> Qodosh: SSH isn't the only remote service you have
[07:55] <Qodosh> Flannel: On my fedora server it is. I disabled everything else.
[07:55] <ce_girll_tulen> MKM
[07:55] <hansteam> Anyone know the best way to sync an iPod with Feisty?
[07:55] <Hadeshorn> serenity: its a razor mouse
[07:56] <cEe_MuDZz> PPPPPP
[07:56] <serenityUK> doms try g++  the gnu c++ compiler..      sudo apt-get intall g++
[07:56] <serenityUK> install*
[07:57] <Ryuho> does anyone use a PCMCA OR USB TV tuner that they would like to recommend?
[07:57] <Qodosh> Flannel: The only thing I see as a real benefit in my case is just having one less password to worry about.
[07:57] <fivetwentysix> is there any programs to determine what country the ip is from?
[07:57] <Chris_> hi, I have had a problem with suspend for three fresh installations so far, and I was hoping some of you could help
[07:58] <serenityUK> ah fivetwentysix i think i may be able to help with WoW right click?
[07:58] <Chris_> the problem is that once I have the XGL session running (for compiz), suspend refuses to come out of suspension
[07:58] <Chris_> it works fine in FGLRX, but not XGL
[07:59] <Chris_> restarting the X server doesn't work (control + alt + backspace), and requires a hard shutdown of the computer
[07:59] <RandomUsr> who can tell me why I can't update /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:59] <WinXpNewb> I tried ntfs-g and put a check mark on the write permission but it still says I can't put the file because I don't have the right permission. Basically what I'm trying to do is open a .zip file in the external hd and extract the files in the external hd.
[07:59] <RandomUsr> I'm logged in as regular user and I used sudo
[07:59] <Chris_> randomusr: are you running as sudo?
[07:59] <WinXpNewb> I meant .rar file
[07:59] <Chris_> ok
[07:59] <Chris_> what command do you use in the terminal
[08:00] <Budda|> DCC SEND abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzownedbitchlololol
[08:00] <Chris_> well try the following: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:00] <RandomUsr> Chris nope
[08:00] <RandomUsr> um
[08:00] <Chris_> that's strange... try sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:01] <serenityUK> fivetwentysix, was it you wanted to disable Alt-right click for world of warcraft?
[08:01] <mvellainc> Hi there, I'm just installing Feisty from a CD image, but I'm having some troubles during the partition step.
[08:01] <hansteam> Anyone know how to sync an iPod with Feisty?
[08:01] <tonyyarusso> hansteam: gtkpod
[08:01] <WinXpNewb> I tried ntfs-g and put a check mark on the write permission but it still says I can't put the file because I don't have the right permission. Basically what I'm trying to do is open a .rar file in the external hd and extract the files in the external hd.
[08:01] <frogzoo_> hansteam: I believe amarok will do that
[08:01] <RandomUsr> Chris cp -i /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup && vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:02] <RandomUsr> and I sudo before that Chris
[08:02] <fivetwentysix> serenityUK yeah.
[08:02] <fivetwentysix> serenityUK however for war3.
[08:02] <Chris_> my guess is that your sudo is probably being tied up by a dead program. Try logging out and back in or restarting
[08:02] <slap_me> gtkpod is sweet
[08:03] <astro76> RandomUsr, you would need sudo before the cp AND sudo before the vi
[08:03] <Chris_> and then there's that
[08:03] <RandomUsr> oic
[08:03] <serenityUK> ok fivetwentysix try this it might work...  goto System > Preferences > Windows .. there is a movement key you can change from Alt crtl or windows,
[08:03] <MissDjax> guys how can I check if a multimedia key of my keyboard as been assigned to an application ?
[08:03] <serenityUK> fivetwentysix, it is set to alt try putting on windows key?
[08:03] <Qodosh> okay, well simplification, no more root pass.
[08:03] <RandomUsr> astro and Chris_ lemme try that
[08:04] <LukeEkblad> Hello
[08:04] <bullgard4> Why does my kernel 2.6.20-generic need the two modules ata-piix (SCSI low-level driver for Intel PIIX/ICH ATA controllers) and ahci (Advanced Host Controller Interface SATA low level driver) although I have only one hard drive?
[08:04] <serenityUK> welcome
[08:04] <fivetwentysix> lemme check
[08:04] <cweagans> MissDjax, System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts
[08:04] <mtx1> is it common for tar files like .tar.bz2 to get corrupt? just wondering if i should backup my data tared or leave it alone and burn like it is...its 80 gb
[08:05] <LukeEkblad> I have a problem, my Firefox keeps crashing!  I have to restart my computer like 3 or 4 times a day to keep using firefox
[08:05] <serenityUK> bullgard4, the motherboard has chips on them for running the hd even if they are not connected
[08:05] <LukeEkblad> how do i fix this?
[08:05] <fivetwentysix> my alt is the movement key or whatever
[08:05] <fivetwentysix> serenityuk

[08:05] <fivetwentysix> Done, ah it worked!
[08:06] <fivetwentysix> thank you
[08:06] <serenityUK> yay!

[08:06] <WinXpNewb> I tried ntfs-g and put a check mark on the write permission but it still says I can't put the file because I don't have the right permission. Basically what I'm trying to do is open a .rar file in the external hd and extract the files in the external hd.
[08:06] <serenityUK> maime*
[08:06] <cweagans> LukeEkblad, kernel? system architecture? extensions? version? need info.
[08:06] <LukeEkblad> whats kernal?
[08:06] <cweagans> nvm....skip it
[08:06] <MissDjax> cweagans hmmm there it is correct: volumeLow and volumeRaise are assigned to the right multimedia keys. Still, it doenst work :o(
[08:06] <necrodome> \j
[08:06] <bullgard4> serenityUK: Yes, this seems a valid explanation to me. But doesn't that mean that I can unload one driver without loss of my computer's functionality?
[08:07] <JCDG> hello, how do i remove the temp files??
[08:07] <rathel> I've seen a few screenshots on the internet of people displaying their F@H stats in Conky, how do they accomplish this?
[08:07] <cweagans> MissDjax, check and make sure the multimedia keys are supported by your particular version of ubuntu...google. something like "KEYBOARD_MODEL multimedia keys ubuntu 6.06 (or 7.04...)
[08:08] <c0mp13371331337_> LukeEkblad - I'd try disabling all of them and see if it will start.  Most issues with firefox crashing are as a result of a recent update to firefox that an extension/theme is not compatible with.
[08:08] <serenityUK> cweagans, she said they used to work, stopped a few days ago
[08:08] <doms> W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/v/vim/vim-runtime_7.0-164+1ubuntu7.1_all.deb
[08:08] <doms>   404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.89.8 80] 
[08:08] <LukeEkblad> cweagans:   ok, I have fasterfox, video downloader, fox bookmarks synk, adblock pluss
[08:08] <MissDjax> cweagans it is since it worked already, then I probably made something wrong and now those 2 multimedia keys aren't working anymore.
[08:09] <c0mp13371331337_> LukeEkblad - Once they're all disabled, if it's working properly, re-enable them one by one and see when it crashes.
[08:09] <cweagans> MissDjax....hmm. Did you check the system log for any keyboard related stuff?
[08:09] <WinXpNewb> I tried ntfs-g and put a check mark on the write permission but it still says I can't put the file because I don't have the right permission. Basically what I'm trying to do is open a .rar file in the external hd and extract the files in the external hd.
[08:09] <LukeEkblad> ok, thanks
[08:09] <toyimp> I am trying to install the nvidia drivers, and I get an error that I am missing the LIBc Development package. Where can I get that?
[08:09] <h1st0> JCDG: temp files for what?
[08:09] <serenityUK> MissDjax, do they still have values for volume up/down?.... mine say  0Xae   and  0xb0
[08:09] <MissDjax> cweagans no, how can I do that (sorry I'm quite new to linux)
[08:10] <h1st0> JCDG: in terminal just rm <filename>  or in gnome just drag in to trash
[08:10] <h1st0> MissDjax: dmesg
[08:10] <LukeEkblad> Also, whenever i watch a video onyoutube or anywhere after about 8 seconds of watching it, it kinda freezes for a second then sorta plays what i missed when it froze really fast then i can keep watching, but this is kinda anoying
[08:10] <JCDG> you know all that temp files that aren't needed
[08:10] <MissDjax> serenityUK yes they have, XF86AudioVolumeDown ..
[08:10] <Firewier> hi
[08:11] <Firewier> is there a program I can use to format a corrupted microsd card?
[08:11] <Firewier> qtparted wouldn't work
[08:11] <cweagans> MissDjax:  go to /var/log, open up the kernel log, kern.log
[08:11] <pissedbuddha> umm
[08:11] <c0mp13371331337_> LukeEkblad - Hmmm.... try the mplayer plugin?  I haven't had any issues with that.
[08:11] <pissedbuddha> firewier, does gnome partition manager work on it?
[08:11] <Firewier> I've not tried
[08:12] <LukeEkblad> c0mp13371331337_:  where do i get that?
[08:12] <Firewier> I'm on kubuntu, btw :(
[08:12] <pissedbuddha> it should still work
[08:12] <Firewier> should I try and boot into gnome? I have their live cd
[08:12] <cweagans> Firewier:  sudo apt-get install gparted
[08:12] <LukeEkblad> c0mp13371331337_:  oh, byre the way, this problem is only been since like a week aggo
[08:12] <pissedbuddha> who says you need to boot into GNOME?
[08:13] <arun> When I try to mark all the Compiz packages installed for removal in Synaptic, it tells me doing so will also remove desktop-effects and ubuntu-desktop
[08:13] <Kwafoo> dos 7.1
[08:13] <c0mp13371331337_> LukeEkblad - I'm pretty sure it's in the repos.  May have to open universe and multiverse, if they aren't already, and I don't remember the exact package name off the top of my head.
[08:13] <Kwafoo> dos6.22
[08:13] <arun> So if I uninstall Compiz, my Ubuntu is fried?
[08:13] <Firewier> okay I'll get it now
[08:13] <Kwafoo> dosshell
[08:13] <serenityUK> MissDjax, if you click on the value XF86Audio... and then press the volume key on the keyboard it stays the same?

[08:14] <Kwafoo> ...
[08:14] <cweagans> c0mp13371331337_:  sudo apt-get install gparted, with multiverse enabled
[08:14] <Kwafoo> wrong room

[08:15] <cbanbury> Can anyone suggest a WiFi manager for ubuntu that stores the password? So that I don't have to keep entering the keyring password after login.
[08:15] <c0mp13371331337_> h1st0 - My bad, those are embedded flash-players, aren't they?
[08:15] <Ryuho> Yay$BF|K\8l(B
[08:15] <cweagans> cbanbury, the default one will store locations. Locations store network name, channel, password, encryption type
[08:15] <h1st0> ?
[08:16] <LukeEkblad> Hmm, i installed that mplayer plugin a few days aggo, somthing tells me thats whats been messing things up
[08:16] <h1st0> c0mp13371331337_: yeah
[08:16] <cbanbury> Can you tell me how?
[08:16] <cbanbury> It doesn't give me the option to store the WEP key when I connect
[08:16] <h1st0> cbanbury: you can fix the keyring password problem.  Let me get you directions
[08:16] <cweagans> cbanbury, System>Administration>Network
[08:16] <Leon18> hi! is there ani posibility to install
[08:16] <hansteam> Anyone know a safe way to fix the sound glitch on Toshiba Satellite notebooks?
[08:17] <cweagans> cbanbury, once the thing is loaded, set up your network information for your wireless
[08:17] <Firewier> how would I name the partition on my disc?
[08:17] <pissedbuddha> I dont know....
[08:17] <h1st0> cbanbury: prompting for keyring and saving the wep are two completely different things.
[08:17] <h1st0> cbanbury: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo?highlight=%28wpa%29#head-92c70cd59ecb39c8645a88a26134115395c7d904
[08:17] <MissDjax> serenityUK >> do they still have values for volume up/down?.... mine say  0Xae   and  0xb0 -   <--- maybe I should try to get those "default" values back ?
[08:17] <h1st0> cbanbury: that link will show you how to install pam keyring
[08:17] <cbanbury> Yes, I have done that before
[08:18] <h1st0> Firewier: name it what ever you want.
[08:18] <serenityUK> MissDjax, it maybe because we have different keyboards
[08:18] <cbanbury> I wud rather the net manager just store the password itself though
[08:18] <c0mp13371331337_> Firewier - You mean set the mount points for a particular partition?
[08:18] <Firewier> nope, like the partition's label
[08:18] <cbanbury> cweagans, im in net settings, how do I enter the WEP key etc from here?
[08:18] <LukeEkblad> Dose anyone know of any good screen recorders?  Also, dose anyone know of any good video editing programs?
[08:18] <arun> If I re-install Ubuntu, will it overwrite all the stuff in my home partition?
[08:18] <MissDjax> serenityUK but I remember that I already had those values as well
[08:19] <h1st0> cbanbury: my wep key is saved.  and I installed pamkeyring so I dont' get propted on login.
[08:19] <cweagans> cbanbury, click your wifi once
[08:19] <cweagans> cbanbury, click properties
[08:19] <cbanbury> ahhh.....
[08:19] <cbanbury> yeh, I'm a fool
[08:19] <LukeEkblad> Whats dose it mean when I click on firefox and it says firefox it already running in my system when its not?

[08:30] <shade_micro5> how to setup my ubuntu 7.04 i386 to auto configure my dsl conn. using dhcp ? coz on windows it works but on linux it seems not to and on the forum all i found relating to this problem was users trying to conn. by router, which i don't have
[08:30] <nickrud> AboSamoor, look at the files in ~/.local/share/applications; those are menu item definitions
[08:31] <h1st0> shade_micro5: it should just use dhcp by default.
[08:31] <nambun> more over, i do not open Text Editor
[08:31] <serenityUK> doms, they probably have a newer version.. you can browse to the directory in a web browser
[08:31] <nambun> come on, please
[08:31] <shade_micro5> but it does not work
[08:31] <nambun> dont open gedit and Text Editor with error: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[08:31] <serenityUK> nambun, you could try   leafpad  if you are desperate... sudo apt-get install leafpad
[08:31] <shade_micro5> and i don't know what to do to make it work.. coz on windows it autoconfigures.. but on linux doesn't
[08:32] <WinXpNewb>  I tried ntfs-g and put a check mark on the write permission but it still says I can't put the file because I don't have the right permission. Basically what I'm trying to do is open a .rar file in the external hd and extract the files in the external hd.
[08:32] <doms> serenityUK: E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instea
[08:32] <bulmer> shade_micro5: do you have auto in /etc/network/interface?
[08:32] <serenityUK> WinXpNewb, try as root  using sudo?
[08:33] <doms> serenityUK: help me to fix that
[08:33] <WinXpNewb> Serenity, how do I do that?
[08:33] <nambun> thanks to serenityUK, but what is the error?
[08:33] <shade_micro5> how do i check ?
[08:33] <f0rtune> yes try root
[08:33] <nambun> dont open gedit and Text Editor with error: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[08:33] <nickrud> doms, it sounds like your archive mirror is down
[08:33] <shade_micro5> and if i don't have.. how  do i set it up ?
[08:33] <serenityUK> nambun, I don't know segmentation fault is generric crash.. no information
[08:33] <quick_fox> eh...
[08:33] <bulmer> shade_micro5: edit this  /etc/network/interfaces file
[08:33] <f0rtune> buffer overflow? lol
[08:34] <nambun> it could be install ubuntu fail?
[08:34] <shade_micro5> okay... and what do i need to change in it ?
[08:34] <hansteam> My sound seems to be going to my modem speaker rather than my actual speakers, any idea how to fix that?
[08:34] <bulmer> something like    auto wlan0    on next like    iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[08:35] <diseaser> anyone do a system update and lose the ability to run OpenGL?
[08:35] <bluebanana> how do i add new "right-click function" to nautilus? http://ubuntu-unleashed.blogspot.com/2007/08/howto-convert-videos-to-ipod-smartphone.html says, "Enterprising Nautilus Actions users may want to add a right click menu version for this by adding /usr/local/bin/mp4ize as a path and %M as a parameter." I have no idea how to do that.
[08:35] <pramz> hansteam, check your mixer, right click on the speaker icon, open volume control, Click on File , Change device
[08:35] <shade_micro5> well.. i'll restart my system see f it works ?
[08:35] <quick_fox> hikshikshiks
[08:35] <serenityUK> WinXpNewb, just prefix the command you were using with   sudo...    like   sudo tar zxvf /media/disk/myfile.tar.gz
[08:35] <quick_fox> :(
[08:35] <Ryuho> anyone have an ATI USB tv tuner?
[08:36] <pramz> bluebanana, check for nautilus scripts in the forums, should have a few posts about making those
[08:36] <nambun> :((
[08:36] <serenityUK> WinXpNewb, it will ask for your password
[08:36] <hansteam> pramz: It points to HDA-intell which seems like it should be right...
[08:36] <dashgr> hey i downloaded and install wlassist but how do i remove it?
[08:36] <WinXpNewb> I don't know how to use terminal commands. Is there a guide of it somewhere?
[08:36] <MissDjax> serenityUK ? what output does xev give you when hitting for example volume up ?
[08:36] <pramz> hansteam, it might have 2 devices to that .. one being regular sound card and other modem sound card (for voice modems)
[08:37] <hansteam> The other option is conexant and that doesn't work
[08:38] <XiXaQ> How do I tell grub which ubuntu installation to boot when there are more than one installation on the same disk?
[08:38] <serenityUK> hmm lost of stuff MissDjax but it seem to be the same for up and down.. trying to spot the difference
[08:38] <bluebanana> pramz, i think I should get the "nautilus-actions" package.
[08:38] <trend> hello
[08:39] <trend> how can I get nc to open up port 129 so my server now accepts connections on that as well as port 80?
[08:39] <pramz> bluebanana, i have never used that so I cannot comment on it. Though nautilus scripts should help you in getting what you want done
[08:39] <serenityUK>  MissDjax ah i see now i moved the window....  mostly zeros  but under systhetic it goes from 0 1 0 to 64 0 0 when i press up/down
[08:40] <WinXpNewb> how to extract files using sudo/terminal?

[08:53] <f0rtune> 1:53am
[08:53] <WinXpNewb> No, Olgem. It's a directory of where all my Opera files are backed up
[08:54] <serenityUK> up nearly 24hours
[08:54] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: if you don't highlight your replies to me, I won't read them
[08:54] <MissDjax> serenityUK ok got it, I had to create a file first, now going to check out if it works
[08:54] <serenityUK> glglglg
[08:54] <WinXpNewb> I need to extract it so I can copy the files into the Opera directory I have installed here on Linux Mint
[08:54] <kousotu> serenityUK: you ain't slept yet?
[08:54] <nambun> because, i don not open Text Editor and gedit
[08:54] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: do you mention dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces ? and is this dsl or what ?
[08:54] <Olgem> WinXpNewb, remove all those empty directories you made that try and mirror the contents of the rar, and then try to extract again
[08:54] <shade_micro5> brb.. gonna try dhclient eth0 :(
[08:54] <nambun> very important?
[08:54] <serenityUK> one of those days.. i get sidetracked
[08:54] <WinXpNewb> ok
[08:55] <gregorovius> hi. I was wondering if it's possible to set custom commands for when the screensaver starts and stops (actually, I need a script to run when the screensaver isn't running)... any ideas?
[08:55] <kousotu> kik
[08:55] <kousotu> lol*
[08:55] <f0rtune> kousotu: sleep is for the weak
[08:55] <WinXpNewb> I can't delete it because it is a read only disk?
[08:55] <Olgem> oh, is it on your windows drive/partition?
[08:55] <shade_micro5> frogzoo i can send u that file.. since i saved it in a text file on windows part
[08:55] <MissDjax> serenityUK hmm now I just have to enter the command for volumelower and raise, how is the command for that? O_o
[08:55] <kousotu> f0rtune: shuddup, sleep is for the annoyed and sick too
[08:56] <nambun> harris, i dont open text editor and gedit. It is very important
[08:56] <WinXpNewb> It's on an ntfs format external hd
[08:56] <f0rtune> kousotu: annoyed?
[08:56] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: pastebin /etc/network/interfaces
[08:56] <harris> nambun, is gedit installed ?
[08:56] <kousotu> I get bugged to go to bed, so I kida havto
[08:56] <kousotu> lol
[08:56] <nambun> when i open gedit in terminal, error: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[08:56] <Olgem> WinXpNewb, I think you will have to enable write support for ntfs for ubuntu to be able to extract file to that, how about you copy it to your linux drive/partition and extract it there?
[08:56] <Olgem> nambun, reinstall gedit
[08:56] <nambun> yes, sudo apt-get install gedit
[08:56] <shade_micro5> frogzoo i saved a copy of it in my windows part
[08:56] <kousotu> Olgem: what's the tochpad controler? gsynaptics?
[08:57] <shade_micro5> frogzoo how do i send it to you ?
[08:57] <f0rtune> kousotu: lol
[08:57] <WinXpNewb> Ok, I'll try that now
[08:57] <nambun> i did remove and install

[08:57] <Metal03> Simple question : How do I check what version of wine I have?
[08:57] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: you paste the file into pastebin, post the url back here
[08:57] <Olgem> kousotu, I don't know much about laptop touchpads, but a ton of them use synaptics touchpad from some company, and it has its own device driver, you should look up your laptops model number and brand to see what kind of touchpad you have
[08:57] <Frogzoo> Metal03: wine --version
[08:57] <wonton> wine --version
[08:57] <Trist_an> I just need a little help for a bash script. I would like to extract the name of the folder I am in but not the full path. Just the last part of the pwd command. And I'd like also the same for the upper directory
[08:57] <WinXpNewb> Thanks, Olgem. That worked
[08:57] <MissDjax> serenityUK seems I found it out: amixer sset PCM 1- unmute
[08:58] <Metal03> thanks
[08:58] <kousotu> Olgem: well, I have a synaotics one
[08:58] <Trist_an> like if I am in /dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4 I want one output with dir3 and one with dir4
[08:58] <nambun> hichic
[08:58] <Olgem> kousotu, does it not auto-detect and work? what is the problem?
[08:58] <kousotu> synaptics*
[08:58] <nambun> somebody help me

[08:59] <Metal03> And is there a terminal command to update wine...  I mean I know there is one, I just don't remember it!
[08:59] <Olgem> But, how will you point and click?
[08:59] <serenityUK> MissDjax, wow you're a linux guru
[08:59] <Frogzoo> kousotu: what's your problem?
[08:59] <shade_micro5> frogzoo http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35756/
[08:59] <Frogzoo> kousotu: this isn't a guessing game
[08:59] <Olgem> kousotu, just look around in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and comment out the device section for your touchpad and logout then log back on.
[09:00] <Olgem> I *think* that will work
[09:00] <kousotu> Frogzoo: [01:59]  <Olgem> But, how will you point and click? % [01:59]  <Olgem> But, how will you point and click?

[09:00] <Olgem> Frogzoo, I know they do, but he doesn't want his touchpad to function for some reason
[09:00] <Metal03> Anyone knows the terminal command to update a program?
[09:00] <shade_micro5> frogzoo did u acces the link ?
[09:00] <kousotu> Frogzoo: I don;t wnt the touchpad to work
[09:01] <wonton> apt-get update
[09:01] <Olgem> errr, sudo apt-get upgrade
[09:01] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: how many nics you got there? and is this an ethernet problem or wifi?
[09:01] <Olgem> MetaBot, sudo apt-get upgrade, and the program might not update to the latest version if it isn't in the repositories yet
[09:01] <kousotu> Olgem: hand placement vs. tp placement = mssy typng due to hitting it
[09:02] <Frogzoo> kousotu: why not?
[09:02] <wonton> woops
[09:02] <shade_micro5> frogzoo ethernet i think.. since i connect to my isp via dls
[09:02] <shade_micro5> *dsl
[09:02] <kousotu> Frogzoo: ....
[09:02] <astro76> kousotu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#head-7c59cd72a805989c252784e55362b8a9e1556228
[09:02] <kousotu> Frogzoo: hand placement vs. tp placement = mssy typng due to hitting it
[09:02] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: so 'sudo ifdown eth0 ; sudo ifup eth0 ' - what happens?
[09:03] <Frogzoo> kousotu: To disable the synaptics touchpad while typing, see: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/09/20/disable-touchpad-temporarily-when-typing/
[09:03] <savvas> moses_: have you edited the sudoers file?
[09:03] <Black_Cat> is there a way to have in Gnome (ubuntu 7.04) different wallpaper for different desktop?

[09:03] <Black_Cat> pity :(
[09:03] <Frogzoo> Black_Cat: yeah

[09:04] <savvas> moses_ try: man sudoers and: gedit /etc/sudoers
[09:04] <shade_micro5> frogzoo i gotta restart.. i'll tell ya in a few minuts.. since i dualboot :(
[09:04] <urthmover> you mean a different background for each workspace?
[09:04] <Black_Cat> exactly
[09:04] <Ayabara> I'm trying to compile "Hello world" for c++, but I get an error saying that iostream cannot be found. I installed the "libc++"-packages, but still get the error. anyone know what's missing?
[09:04] <urthmover> hang on
[09:04] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: oh - I think I see your problem maybe
[09:05] <f0rtune> Ayabara: is your coding correct, spelling and all?
[09:05] <shiester_miester> gday everyone
[09:05] <moses_> savvas: I've added them to sudoes with visudo as following: user ALL= /usr/bin/apt-get, /usr/bin/apt-cache, /usr/bin/tasksel, /usr/sbin/synaptic
[09:06] <Evanlec> lol
[09:06] <Evanlec> haha
[09:06] <wonton> no biggi
[09:06] <shiester_miester> so yeah...the file-system is mounted as read only, i can still log in and use terminal and everything
[09:06] <f0rtune> whats going on?
[09:06] <shiester_miester> i just need to rename it back
[09:06] <wonton> just rewrite fstab
[09:06] <urthmover> Black_Cat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=69507&page=1
[09:06] <mqduck> hi, everybody! could anyone tell me why i cant find xorgconfig, or where i can download it?
[09:06] <shiester_miester> except that when i try to do that, it says that it can't because its a "read-only file system"
[09:07] <Frogzoo> mqduck: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[09:07] <urthmover> did you catch that Black_Cat ?
[09:07] <shiester_miester> i know that its quite easy to fix, i just don't know /how/ to fix it :P
[09:07] <serenityUK> MissDjax, yay i'm glad!  sorry i had to leave... you did alot by yourself.. good initiative
[09:07] <wonton> what filesystem?
[09:07] <savvas> moses_: the add/remove is located in here if it helps anything: /usr/bin/gnome-app-install
[09:07] <Black_Cat> urthmover: yeah, i'll take a look, thanks
[09:07] <MissDjax> serenityUK thx ;)
[09:07] <shiester_miester> ext3, plus my 2 ntfs partitions
[09:07] <kousotu> Frogzoo: acn't gsynaptics be used?
[09:08] <shiester_miester> this "wallpapoz" program looks pretty cool...
[09:08] <shiester_miester> thx for the link, urthmover
[09:08] <shiester_miester> (even though I know it wasn't for me)
[09:08] <Frogzoo> kousotu: that link is much cleaner
[09:08] <Metal03> Hi everyone, I'm trying to update wine and when I do with the update manager, it tells me "Could not resolve 'wine.lowvoice.nl'"...  it seems like it can't connect to this address...  is there a way to verify what's wrong?
[09:08] <serenityUK> MissDjax,   tc im going to bed its goin 8am in London
[09:08] <moses_> savvas: great, thx, think that's it
[09:08] <urthmover> Black_Cat: yw
[09:08] <shiester_miester> so anybody know how to rename a file when the file system is mounted as read-only, or how to make it so that its writeable?
[09:09] <savvas> moses_: glad to help :)
[09:09] <MissDjax> wow n8 then ;)
[09:09] <kousotu> Frogzoo: I have 11gb to waste, I'll never fill that
[09:09] <kousotu> lol
[09:09] <shiester_miester> kousotu, 11gb is easy to fill; ever tried the Internet?
[09:09] <f0rtune> lol
[09:10] <savvas> shiester_miester: you can't do anything while it's read-only, you can unmount with the umount command
[09:10] <Metal03> *cough* porn *cough*
[09:10] <kousotu> shiester_miester: not on Ubuntu it isn't. XP I can fill itin like 20 mins
[09:10] <kousotu> lol
[09:10] <shiester_miester> savvas, but then if its unmounted then I won't be able to rename the file, right?
[09:10] <f0rtune> shame on the everyday pirate, comcast wont let me anymore...
[09:10] <Metal03> fills 11gb in a nutcha
[09:10] <savvas> Metal03: use the dedicated repositories from wine: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[09:10] <shiester_miester> kousotu, ubuntu can download just as fast as windows can...
[09:10] <wonton> yuk
[09:10] <kousotu> shiester_miester: liar
[09:11] <kousotu> shiester_miester: downloads faser
[09:11] <kousotu> lol
[09:11] <shiester_miester> no
[09:11] <savvas> shiester_miester: you unmount and mount it again with write priviledge :)
[09:11] <savvas> shiester_miester: are we talking about ntfs here?
[09:11] <shiester_miester> savvas: we are talking about me needing to rename /etc/fstab.bak
[09:11] <Frogzoo> kousotu: yes gsynaptic can work
[09:11] <shiester_miester> i need to mount the ENTIRE file system as writeable
[09:11] <Metal03> So, anyone knows how to verify if wine's update server is down or something?
[09:11] <shiester_miester> not just an ntfs partition
[09:12] <savvas> shiester_miester: not going to happen if you mounted the partition as read-only
[09:12] <f0rtune> Metal03: try to ping it
[09:12] <shiester_miester> savvas, i did no such thing...if that's happend then it did it by itself
[09:12] <kousotu> Frogzoo: ty
[09:12] <shiester_miester> all I did was accidentally rename fstab :P
[09:12] <savvas> shiester_miester: then you have errors in your partitions :)
[09:12] <Ayabara> f0rtune: it fails on #include <iostream> on the first line, and I hope I got that much right
[09:12] <shiester_miester> savvas, no I don't, i renamed the file system table file
[09:12] <Metal03> F0rtune : simple enough...  lol
[09:12] <terapicodave> anyone had this problem where beryl restarts itself a minute after login?
[09:12] <savvas> shiester_miester: you can do the renaming from a live cd, it's easier
[09:12] <wonton> shiesta, just mv fstab.bak fstab, that'll rename it
[09:13] <Ayabara> f0rtune: but I didn't :-)
[09:13] <shiester_miester> savvas, wonton, both good ideas.  I'll go with wontons because it's faster to just reboot in ubuntu than from the livecd
[09:13] <kousotu> Note, selecting synaptic instead of gsynaptic
[09:13] <kousotu> synaptic is already the newest version.
[09:13] <Ayabara> f0rtune: it said < iostream >. the spaces was not a good idea
[09:13] <shiester_miester> ty
[09:13] <savvas> cheers :)
[09:13] <kousotu> Frogzoo: ok, why did itdo that...
[09:13] <mqduck> Frogzoo: thanks
[09:13] <shiester_miester> but if I have trouble then I'll use the live cd
[09:13] <wonton> cp /etc/fstab.bak /etc/fstab
[09:13] <shiester_miester> another good idea ;)
[09:14] <Flannel> kousotu: gsynaptics, not synaptic.  (the former is touchpad stuff, the latter a package manager)
[09:14] <savvas> moses_: is it working ok now?
[09:14] <dEn_> hi what software in Ubuntu lets me make a ntfs partition
[09:14] <Metal03> F0rtune : "ping: unknown host wine.lowvoice.nl"
[09:14] <dEn_> in gnome partition i only have an option for fat 32 . but vista needs ntfs
[09:14] <kousotu> Flannel: [02:11]  <Frogzoo> kousotu: yes gsynaptic can work
[09:14] <savvas> 09:10:38 < savvas> Metal03: use the dedicated repositories from wine: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[09:15] <kousotu> Flannel: I blame Frogzoo lol
[09:15] <shade_micro5> frogzoo i did what u said
[09:15] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: and?
[09:15] <f0rtune> dEn_:qtparted is fine
[09:15] <LewisSharp> I'm having a problem with fstab where most mount will work except one and I can't get why.. : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35758/
[09:15] <dEn_> thanks f0rtune
[09:15] <Metal03> savvas : How would I change that?
[09:16] <Frogzoo> kousotu: I suggested a link, you ignored my suggestion
[09:16] <shade_micro5> frogzoo i'll pastebin the output
[09:16] <savvas> Metal03: they have instructions on that website, please read it
[09:16] <f0rtune> dEn_:yw
[09:16] <kousotu> Frogzoo: didn't work last time
[09:16] <kousotu> Frogzoo: can you blame me for not wanting to use it?
[09:17] <wonton> Lewis, what fs type is hdb1?
[09:17] <shade_micro5> frogzoo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35759/
[09:18] <LewisSharp> ext3
[09:18] <LewisSharp> so is hdb6
[09:18] <LewisSharp> 5 I mean
[09:18] <Evanlec> sa
[09:19] <wonton> then replace auto with ext3
[09:19] <savvas> LewisSharp: try this and check if there are any errors: sudo mount -a
[09:20] <hansteam> what's the best way to speed up boot time?
[09:20] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: try 'sudo mii-tool eth0 -F 10baseT-FD; & then dhclient eth0'
[09:21] <f0rtune> hanstream: disable unwanted programs with boot parimeters
[09:21] <shade_micro5> do u have an actual idea on what is wrong.. ?
[09:21] <f0rtune> err unwanted tasks
[09:21] <wonton> noatime,data=writeback 0 1
[09:21] <moses_> savvas: unfortunately no :(
[09:21] <LewisSharp> well forcing ext3 worked :) though, is there a way to have mount shows up as 'drive icon' in the 'computer' of nautilus?
[09:22] <hansteam> f0rtune: is there a tool/command for that or do you have to go through each individual app?
[09:22] <terapicodave> hansteam: what version you working with?
[09:22] <hansteam> Feisty
[09:22] <moses_> savvas: works with CLI, all the CLI-cmds I specified with visudo
[09:22] <f0rtune> hanstream: sorry i havent heard of any tool for that
[09:22] <AzMoo[w] > LewisSharp: mount it in /media
[09:23] <LewisSharp> both are in media but doesn't show up
[09:23] <wonton> yeah, just reboot
[09:23] <AzMoo[w] > LewisSharp: odd. Are they in fstab?
[09:23] <LewisSharp> yep also
[09:23] <kousotu> GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
[09:23] <kousotu> You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics
[09:23] <LewisSharp> reboot.. ok will try that
[09:23] <wonton> lewis, did u reboot?
[09:23] <moses_> savvas: btw, can you put specify commands with arguments in visudo=
[09:23] <moses_> ?
[09:24] <wonton> lol
[09:24] <kousotu> ok,what did I do wrong?
[09:24] <LewisSharp> doing so right now :)
[09:24] <cE_peaCe-EfEzz> mkjl
[09:24] <moses_> e.g "apt-get install gphpedit"
[09:24] <wonton> that'll do it
[09:25] <dashgr> hey my software index is broken, anyone know how i can fix this?
[09:25] <basanta> I was looking for docs on ubuntu livecd remastering
[09:25] <kousotu> do I need to restart X before it will work?
[09:25] <astro76> basanta, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization
[09:25] <savvas> dashgr: try: sudo apt-get update
[09:26] <dashgr> no luck on that savvas
[09:26] <dashgr> i'm also tried apt-get update and sudo dpkg --configure -a
[09:26] <savvas> dashgr: do you get any errors? (not "Ign" from repositories)
[09:26] <LewisSharp> man been looking everywhere for that the last 3 hours :) thank you soo much :)
[09:26] <kousotu> dashgr: haveyou tried restarting X?
[09:26] <dashgr> yea there's a lot of igns there
[09:27] <dashgr> i've treid restarted X
[09:27] <savvas> dashgr: except the "ign" errors
[09:28] <savvas> dashgr: wait, why do you think it's broken?
[09:28] <kousotu> dashgr: ok, thought I'd ask
[09:28] <dashgr> i have no idea
[09:28] <savvas> what did you see and you think it's broken? :)
[09:28] <dashgr> oh lol
[09:28] <kousotu> Flannel: do I need to restart X to make it work?
[09:28] <dashgr> savvas: it says it whenever i tried to update or install anything
[09:28] <dashgr> savvas: i think it has something to do with compiz
[09:29] <dashgr> savvas: it always says something about compiz-core or compiz-extra or something weired like that

[09:34] <dashgr> savvas: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35764/
[09:34] <Flannel> kousotu: You need to first add that thing to your xorg, and then restart.
[09:34] <Flannel> kousotu: restart X, that is.
[09:34] <savvas> dashgr: did you happen to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list ?:)

[09:35] <dashgr> savvas: i have
[09:35] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: what you get for 'sudo mii-tool eth0' ?
[09:36] <kousotu> Flannel: just restarting the kernel will work, right?
[09:36] <shade_micro5> frogzoo nothing
[09:36] <shade_micro5> frogzoo i copyed everything as-is
[09:36] <kousotu> ctrl + alt + backspace
[09:36] <Flannel> kousotu: not the kernel. X, ctrl-alt-backspace
[09:36] <savvas> dashgr: you use ubuntu 7.04/feisty?
[09:36] <dashgr> savvas: yes i do
[09:37] <savvas> dashgr: what website did you read to add the repositories?
[09:37] <dashgr> savvas: oh..tons, lol
[09:37] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: this is a different command
[09:37] <kousotu> Flannel: yeam that's what I meant
[09:37] <shade_micro5> frogzoo.. what do u mean ?
[09:37] <dashgr> savvas: should i remove some of them?
[09:38] <savvas> dashgr: oh yes :)
[09:38] <dashgr> savvas: lol ok
[09:38] <dashgr> savvas: i'll let you know wat happens
[09:38] <savvas> dashgr: remove all of the compiz related ones
[09:38] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: what you get for 'sudo mii-tool eth0' ?
[09:38] <dashgr> savvas: ok
[09:39] <dashgr> savvas: can i just remove them all?
[09:39] <wonton> nooooo
[09:39] <shade_micro5> frogzoo i think i did that sometime earlyer.. dun remember actually.. hold on lemme check pastebin
[09:39] <dashgr> savvas: like everything from this list?
[09:39] <savvas> dashgr: no!
[09:39] <dashgr> savvas: oh ok
[09:40] <savvas> dashgr: go to system > administration > software sources
[09:40] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: just type it in a command line
[09:40] <dashgr> savvas: i'm here, i removed a lot of dapper stuff
[09:40] <dashgr> savvas: and beryl
[09:40] <savvas> dashgr: click third-party, there you can just uncheck them
[09:41] <dashgr> savvas: wat about this 3v1n0 stuff?
[09:41] <kousotu> working nicely, thanks
[09:41] <savvas> dashgr: what's that? :)
[09:41] <dashgr> savvas: no idea
[09:41] <shade_micro5> frogzoo do u know what is the problem and what needs to be solved ?
[09:41] <dashgr> savvas: i unchecked it, everything else has feisty stuff, should i have that checked?
[09:42] <shade_micro5> frogzoo or is linux gay ? could it be that it won't work for linux ?
[09:42] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: maybe someone else here can help you
[09:42] <savvas> dashgr: look, disable everything that's in "third-party" if you're not sure
[09:42] <dashgr> savvas: ok
[09:42] <shade_micro5> linux is so gay >.<
[09:42] <savvas> dashgr: and in "ubuntu software" check all the "downloadable from internet"
[09:42] <shade_micro5> can't believe it
[09:43] <shade_micro5> i heard it's quite good actually
[09:43] <savvas> dashgr: then click close and reload
[09:43] <Frogzoo> shade_micro5: it works for people without attitudes
[09:43] <shade_micro5> apparently windows > linux :))
[09:43] <dashgr> savvas: where's that?
[09:43] <shade_micro5> what do u mean by attitudes

[09:50] <shade_micro5> savvas usb modem
[09:50] <kousotu> permanoia: what mmorpgs?
[09:50] <pakora> mmorpgs = hell

[09:50] <pakora> especially WoW
[09:50] <pakora> i am staying away from them
[09:50] <shade_micro5> savvas but i can connect it to my comp. using eth
[09:50] <pakora> online multiplayer games such as World of Warcraft
[09:50] <pakora> they suck you in and make you lose your life
[09:50] <dashgr> You have 1 broken package on your system!
[09:50] <dashgr> Use the "Broken" filter to locate it.
[09:50] <shade_micro5> all games do that :D
[09:50] <kousotu> pakora: I play semi-mmorpgs
[09:50] <Flannel> pakora: WoW works in Ubuntu.  Some say even better than on windows
[09:51] <savvas> shade_micro5: I'm not sure then, I use a router, which is quite easier :)
[09:51] <pakora> you dont sleep, you dont eat, you dont have friends, you waste your time and money basically staring at a "wall" and clicking buttons
[09:51] <permanoia> kousotu: too many. daoc,cov,guild wars,eq2,wow but sold my guy
[09:51] <Flannel> pakora: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[09:51] <kousotu> Flannel: wth?? lol
[09:51] <Flannel> permanoia:
[09:51] <pakora> damn, im not playing WoW lol
[09:51] <pakora> im staying away
[09:51] <_f0rtune_> mmorpg's = great way to alienate your friends
[09:51] <savvas> dashgr: try and paste the result in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org : sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get update
[09:51] <kousotu> _f0rtune_: i play the WITH my friends
[09:51] <permanoia> i play with friends sometimes theyre just as addicted. heh
[09:51] <Flannel> permanoia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[09:51] <pakora> you play WoW if you are filthy rich and have no use of your life
[09:51] <shade_micro5> savvas.. so why is it then working on windows and not on linux ?
[09:52] <_f0rtune_> kousota: my friends only play css
[09:52] <kousotu> css?
[09:52] <savvas> shade_micro5: because probably it needs better drivers, and its creators only have closed source? I'm just guessing here, you have to google it yourself to find any working drivers for your modem
[09:52] <Jobias> css = counter strike source
[09:52] <kousotu> sorry, I'm more intoactoin/adventure games
[09:52] <_f0rtune_> yes counter strike source sorry
[09:53] <mik1> hey, does anyone know whether i have to be aware of something when changing my mainboard, cpu and memory?
[09:53] <kousotu> lol
[09:53] <kousotu> np
[09:53] <Black_Cat> cascading style sheets :)
[09:53] <Jobias> permanoia: i love mmo's too. i just bought the new GW expansion a few minutes ago. i'm so weak :(
[09:53] <Anthonydu68> I love css :D
[09:53] <savvas> mik1: yes, they have to get along :) check the mainboard for specifications
[09:53] <_f0rtune_> Jobias guild wars pvp is the best
[09:53] <permanoia> nice jobias. i want it bad, gotta try to make myself finish factions and nightfall first though. heh
[09:54] <_f0rtune_> factions is such a bad game
[09:54] <_f0rtune_> i cant play it
[09:54] <shade_micro5> looks like it is gonna be windows FTW since... linux is too crappy to detect an internet conn >.<
[09:54] <Jobias> _f0rtune_: yeah, it really is. if only the pve wasn't so gawdawful. i love dicking around with my pvp character, but then when i need a new skill i need to boot up a pve char to hunt it down :(
[09:54] <permanoia> ya i always alliance battle thats why i havent finished. the pve is hard in factions
[09:54] <mik1> thanks savvas ;) but i was talking about the software thing. do i have to preinstall drivers on ubuntu or something else?
[09:55] <pakora> good night everyone! if i leave now I can manage two or three hours of sleep before work (yay!)
[09:55] <_f0rtune_> good night
[09:55] <shade_micro5> bye
[09:55] <shade_micro5> do u guys know of any linux distro in which dhcp actually works ?
[09:55] <wonton> mik1 mostly youll need to wory about graphics card and wireless card
[09:56] <Ahadiel> shade_micro5, Ubuntu
[09:56] <wonton> shade, ubuntu
[09:56] <wonton> ls
[09:56] <shade_micro5> no. it doesn't
[09:56] <savvas> mik1: probably not, I'm using intel dual core and an msi mainboard. I just started ubuntu 32-bit, it did it all by itself
[09:56] <Ahadiel> yes it does
[09:56] <shade_micro5> does not
[09:56] <savvas> dashgr: try and paste the result in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org : sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get update
[09:56] <shade_micro5> ffs
[09:56] <Ahadiel> shade_micro5, wired or wireless/
[09:56] <mik1> this ubuntu does run in a command line based environment and gladly no wireless card has to be installed
[09:56] <wonton> shade, then set it
[09:56] <shade_micro5> i got ubuntu in my comp and it cannot connect
[09:57] <Ahadiel> shade_micro5, wired or  wireless?
[09:57] <shade_micro5> and i conn wired
[09:57] <shade_micro5> through DS:
[09:57] <shade_micro5> DSL
[09:57] <astro76> shade_micro5, USB or ethernet?
[09:57] <shade_micro5> ethernet
[09:57] <mik1> savvas, that pretty much answers my question - i'm going to change from a "common" 32-bit to a 64-bit and dual core
[09:57] <Kagar> gah, has anyone had experience with working with broadcom? (all the forums don't seem to be helping me specifically)
[09:57] <mik1> thanks guys :)
[09:57] <_f0rtune_> 64-bit is the future until exibites arent enough storage
[09:58] <Kagar> I get told to use bcm43xx-fwcutter and ndiswrapper..
[09:58] <savvas> mik1: i will too, but be aware that there's a 0,5% difference between the 32-bit and 64-bit repositories
[09:58] <TataraKutere> hey
[09:58] <Kagar> but they conflict or something.
[09:58] <astro76> Kagar, you only use one or the other
[09:58] <Tatara> anybody uses amule, I have a couple of things to ask
[09:59] <shade_micro5> so for my internet to work i must change isp to some1 who provides wireless ?
[09:59] <Kagar> astro76 yesh, I figured as much, but the forums have been confusing me on which I should use.
[09:59] <_f0rtune_> amule the virtual drive program, i may b able to help
[09:59] <mik1> but if there's a 32-bit ubuntu installed it still will use the 32-bit applications from the repos, right?
[09:59] <firehawk> Hi I am using metacity theme manager and i downloaded the theme from gnome-look. But unable to install it . Any suggestions ?
[09:59] <astro76> Kagar, do you know which card you have, what does 'lspci | grep BCM' say?
[09:59] <Ahadiel> shade_micro5, Your ISP doesn't supply wireless, your router does
[09:59] <shade_micro5> oh
[09:59] <shade_micro5> but routers are to expensive
[09:59] <Ahadiel> shade_micro5, How are you testing your connection...
[09:59] <shade_micro5> what do u mean by that ?
[10:00] <Kagar> astro76 : this is what I get. just using lspci though.. 05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card (rev 01)
[10:00] <Ahadiel> shade_micro5, How do you KNOW that it's not working?
[10:00] <shade_micro5> well i cannot download updates
[10:00] <shade_micro5> and ff wont load any page
[10:00] <savvas> shade_micro5: you just need a router, a $20-$50 hardware. no one forces you to use crappy linux :) everything can be connected if you pay up or if you read enough to understand it. rome wasn't built in a day, and no one is born with computer knowledge, you just have to read, search and ask in several forums or irc channels
[10:00] <wonton> shade, ping google
[10:00] <Ahadiel> shade_micro5, ping -c 5 google.com
[10:00] <astro76> Kagar, you need ndiswrapper for that one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/1390
[10:01] <savvas> mik1: i'm really not sure :)
[10:01] <shade_micro5> i don't think it'll work since i also tryed to open it in ff
[10:01] <shade_micro5> and it won't load
[10:01] <Kagar> mm, thank you astro76
[10:01] <Tatara> where are applications stored on ubuntu? like amule, or firefox... where are their folder keeping the programs and the preferences
[10:01] <shade_micro5> and the package manager won't donwload updates
[10:01] <Ahadiel> Tatara, ls -a ~/
[10:01] <firehawk> Hi ! need help with installing theme in ubuntu
[10:01] <shade_micro5> so i can pretty much assume that it doesn't work :|
[10:02] <wonton> tatara, /usr
[10:02] <Ahadiel> Tatara, they are usually stored in hidden folders in your home directory
[10:02] <mik1> savvas, i think/hope so. and i'm pretty sure that i'll know as soon as i put in the new hardware :)
[10:02] <wonton> mostly
[10:02] <Ahadiel> shade_micro5, what card is it?
[10:02] <_f0rtune_> shade, are you sharing the connection with it right now? maybe your modem is bad?
[10:02] <shade_micro5> it is integrated
[10:02] <Trist_an> how come I can talk here but I can't access any website....
[10:02] <kraut> moin
[10:02] <shade_micro5> it works just fine with windows as u can se
[10:02] <mik1> however, have to try it out now, thanks again savvas and have nice day guys (:
[10:03] <Ahadiel> shade_micro5, You can still tell me the model if it's integrated
[10:03] <shade_micro5> okay.. let me check
[10:03] <shade_micro5> via compatible fast ethernet adaptor
[10:04] <Ahadiel> shade_micro5, on ubuntu in your taskbar, did you see networkmanager's icon?
[10:04] <Ahadiel> shade_micro5, 2 little computers
[10:04] <shade_micro5> yeah
[10:05] <Ahadiel> shade_micro5, and what happened when you clicked it?
[10:05] <shade_micro5> i tryed to manual config it through there
[10:05] <shade_micro5> and still did not work
[10:05] <shade_micro5> i also tryed to set it to dhcp same
[10:05] <Ahadiel> shade_micro5, check what settings the connection has on Windows
[10:05] <osr> bsr
[10:05] <shade_micro5> and ip v4ll
[10:05] <Ahadiel> and set Ubuntu's accordingly
[10:05] <suupaabaka> How do I enable read/write for another ext3 partition?
[10:05] <shade_micro5> doesnt work
[10:05] <Tatara> Ahadiel, I need some help about amule application, and one of my ext3 hdd partition (i can't read and write it, even i partitioned it)
[10:06] <shade_micro5> ahadiel i tryed that before and it doenst work
[10:06] <savvas> suupaabaka: you mount it
[10:06] <doorsman> i search for a x-mplayer2 pkg (not the source) does it exist?
[10:06] <_f0rtune_> unmount and remount it as read/write
[10:07] <B52doc> Problem: Computer boots up and says that dev/sdb1/ has been mounted 31 times without being checked, force check..... then freezes at 28.8 %
[10:07] <suupaabaka> Is there a way to do that on bootup?
[10:07] <savvas> B52doc: then you have to let it go to the end
[10:07] <scrub> is the ubuntu repo at beryl project down? i cant install beryl or update that repo
[10:07] <Tatara> Ahadiel, if you're busy, is there anyone you could offer me to knock his/her door for help now?...:)
[10:07] <B52doc> savvas: omg lol
[10:08] <savvas> B52doc: how big is your sdb1 partition?
[10:08] <Ahadiel> Tatara, Not sure
[10:08] <wonton> suupaa, add a line to /etc/fstab
[10:08] <B52doc> savvas: I left it on for the whole night and it didnt go past 28.8 %, and as soon as you said let it go to the end it went further
[10:08] <savvas> B52doc: fsck (what you saw) is like checkdisk/scandisk for windows :)
[10:08] <shade_micro5> so there actually is not way that i will ever be able to use linux :(
[10:08] <shade_micro5> dammit
[10:08] <B52doc> savvas: are you magic? :)
[10:09] <scrub> shade
[10:09] <Tatara> Ahadiel, so now, I'm stuck you say.:)...:(
[10:09] <scrub> why not
[10:09] <shade_micro5> internet doesn't workj
[10:09] <savvas> B52doc: if you believe in magic, maybe, and a bit of faith and patience is a priviledge in linux :P
[10:09] <_f0rtune_> shade: did u try yelling at it?
[10:09] <scrub> is the ubuntu repo at beryl project down? i cant install beryl or update that repo
[10:09] <shade_micro5> and how..
[10:09] <shade_micro5> i got frustrated like shit :|
[10:09] <B52doc> savvas: :) sooo, it does this check everyonce in a while? to make sure everything is good
[10:10] <savvas> B52doc: exactly
[10:10] <_f0rtune_> shade: if i could help you i would :)
[10:10] <shade_micro5> apparently no1 can :D
[10:10] <savvas> B52doc: if you think there are any problems, pop in a live cd and do it manually: fsck /dev/sdb1
[10:11] <shade_micro5> and when u think i had a big argument with the guys from my isp who said linux is n00b >.<
[10:11] <savvas> B52doc: you can remember the command from a dirty world relation ;)
[10:11] <picca> does ubuntu automatically mount the cdrom to /media/cdrom or /media/<device>
[10:11] <B52doc> savvas: lol
[10:11] <savvas> shade_micro5: probably because they don't know linux and hate to read :)
[10:12] <_f0rtune_> man i dont even have ubuntu anymore
[10:12] <savvas> shade_micro5: you would configure a router by now and would have internet
[10:12] <wonton> isp tech support are a bunch of punch monkeys
[10:12] <shade_micro5> yeah, well when they were children they didnt even had computers so..
[10:12] <doorsman> i search for a x-mplayer2 pkg (not the source) does it exist?
[10:12] <scrub> anyone know why when i try to install beryl i get "depends: beryl-core but it is not going to be installed" ?
[10:12] <shade_micro5> but routers are way to expensive for me to use
[10:13] <mnemonic1_> irc.arrakis.es
[10:13] <mnemonic1_> sorry
[10:13] <_f0rtune_> shade: my high school techs didnt know what irc was, and then the school network was hacked
[10:13] <savvas> shade_micro5: where do you live?
[10:13] <shade_micro5> romania
[10:13] <_f0rtune_> and 2 kids got exspelled
[10:13] <shade_micro5> what u mean is.. ?
[10:13] <shade_micro5> they are just pretending or what ?
[10:13] <wonton> 'C'racked,
[10:15] <firehawk> how to install themes in ubuntu ?
[10:15] <savvas> shade_micro5: ask again for routers, they shouldn't be that expensive. and tell them a router/dsl modem, NOT wireless
[10:15] <shade_micro5> but i got a dsl modem
[10:15] <B52doc> I am tired of fighting my wireless card and just want to buy one that works, any suggestions ?
[10:15] <savvas> shade_micro5: a router/dsl modem, not a usb dsl modem :)
[10:15] <scrub> rt61 chipset
[10:15] <scrub> great wifi
[10:16] <shade_micro5> but this one comes free with the internet
[10:16] <shade_micro5> that is how my isp works
[10:16] <_f0rtune_> B52doc, sometimes it depends what kind of wireless router you have
[10:16] <savvas> B52doc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[10:16] <shade_micro5> it gives u free modem in custody when u sign with them
[10:16] <B52doc> _f0rtune_: linksys
[10:16] <wonton> b52, linus suggests intel wireless. . .
[10:17] <_f0rtune_> B52doc: well if u want one that just works good with ubuntu take savvas' link
[10:17] <wonton> aetheros
[10:17] <_f0rtune_> B52doc: i was just curious if you had a range-max router or something
[10:17] <savvas> shade_micro5: my isp gave me for 60 romanian leu a router
[10:18] <shade_micro5> tha is alot for my family..
[10:18] <shade_micro5> i worked a month and a half for just 200
[10:19] <shade_micro5> and those are alot of money to spend just so i can connect to the internet with linux
[10:19] <shade_micro5> my mom will go crazy :D
[10:19] <savvas> shade_micro5: then i'd suggest on killing dsl line and saving some money :)
[10:19] <shade_micro5> and that price was probably lowered because u signed with them
[10:19] <shade_micro5> killing dsl ?
[10:20] <shade_micro5> and how will i connect to the internet then >.<
[10:20] <savvas> happy dial-ups, anyway we're a bit off-topic
[10:20] <wonton> ppp
[10:20] <shade_micro5> they are more expensive
[10:20] <shade_micro5> :d
[10:20] <mdll> how can i download yahoo messenger for ubuntu 7 fiesty x64
[10:20] <LewisSharp> Should I want a program to be launched when the computer start, is cron the thing I'm looking for?
[10:21] <savvas> LewisSharp: cron is for automating a program to be repeated, i believe you want system > preferences > sessions

[10:24] <mdll> how can i get the full version
[10:24] <SlimeyPete> qazibasit: use a different media player, such as vlc, xine or mplayer. See if it'll play in those.
[10:24] <qazibasit> ok
[10:25] <shade_micro5> i'm gonna go to my isp now and pull some ears and ask them how to conn using linux >.<

[10:29] <shade_micro5> it sucks

[10:30] <qazibasit> gparted
[10:30] <shade_micro5> that is the closest english therm i can think of
[10:30] <MissDjax> I mean the serial number and such
[10:30] <_f0rtune_> linux touched my butt
[10:30] <qazibasit> MissDjax: gparted
[10:30] <snax> Linux is actually a perfectly manly, heterosexual OS
[10:30] <Tatara> wonton; it say chown-R command not found
[10:30] <shade_micro5> lol
[10:30] <savvas> qazibasit: you have server and desktop editions
[10:30] <snax> it only has sex with feminine operating systems such as MacOS
[10:30] <qazibasit> oh
[10:30] <wonton> chown -R
[10:30] <wonton> oops forgot the space
[10:30] <shade_micro5> dude... i was not talking on sexual orientation
[10:30] <shade_micro5> lol
[10:30] <savvas> cjsstables: you could just ask by the way
[10:30] <snax> oh
[10:30] <_f0rtune_> lol
[10:30] <snax> so you mean it's happy?
[10:30] <qazibasit> :)
[10:30] <Tatara> wonton: No such file or directory
[10:31] <Black_Cat> gay [10:31] <_f0rtune_> mines sad, its depressed and its prozak prescribtion is out

[10:31] <qazibasit> guys can i install RPM packages on my ubuntu
[10:31] <savvas> !off-topic | all-of-you
[10:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about off-topic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:31] <shade_micro5> when u say something is gay it means that thing sucks ass
[10:31] <savvas> :P
[10:31] <shade_micro5> coz it is not good-working lol
[10:31] <snax> really?
[10:31] <qazibasit> :) ha ha ha ha ha
[10:31] <qazibasit> ya
[10:31] <snax> I thought it means happy or homosexual
[10:32] <ljvs> my dvd drives stopped working all of a sudden. anyone care to help me. or we can continue this gay discussion
[10:32] <qazibasit> :)
[10:32] <shade_micro5> lol
[10:32] <snax> that's what my dictionary says
[10:32] <cjsstables> yep ok.  I have two macs.  one g5 quad and on intel quad.  which one will ubuntu server run on.  I looked at the server edition and doesn't say anything about running on a mac like the home editition does....
[10:32] <Black_Cat> snax: me too. i guess this is some kinda new meaning :)
[10:32] <shade_micro5> yeah
[10:32] <qazibasit> snax:  is a classical person
[10:32] <wonton> sudo chown -R yourusername /media
[10:32] <_f0rtune_> snax: lol
[10:32] <shade_micro5> but this is not the dictionary meaning
[10:32] <shade_micro5> it is an impersonal meaning
[10:32] <Tatara> wonton: i still can't create a folder in it
[10:32] <cbanbury> any recommendations for replacement to dvd santa? (burning avi/mov etc files to dvd)
[10:32] <shade_micro5> saying something is gay is actually a phrase :D
[10:32] <qazibasit> cjsstables: u need an x86 for linux
[10:32] <wonton> sudo
[10:33] <qazibasit> dont use it here
[10:33] <qazibasit> use it in ur terminal
[10:33] <ljvs> its a phrase americans should learn not to use
[10:33] <snax> ok
[10:33] <cjsstables> ok. so the intel mac should be ok.  do you know if iwill support 64bit
[10:33] <qazibasit> ya
[10:33] <wonton> tatara, are you using the terminal?
[10:33] <qazibasit> ya u will but its better to use i386
[10:33] <snax> I'll let it go this time
[10:33] <qazibasit> coz then u can run some old things as well
[10:33] <_f0rtune_> using the notepad duh
[10:33] <snax> I mean, I was 14 once
[10:33] <Tatara> yes
[10:33] <arooni> hey folks
[10:34] <Qodosh> not saying "that's gay" is gay :(
[10:34] <Tatara> wonton: yes, i did what you said
[10:34] <wonton> sudoing/
[10:34] <savvas> cjsstables: example: http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/6.06.1/ says "For Apple Macintosh G3, G4, and G5 computers, including iBooks and PowerBooks."
[10:34] <MissDjax> hmmm seems my HD isn't supported by hddtemp :o(
[10:34] <wonton> sudo ing?
[10:34] <Tatara> wonton: i can copy folder or files towards there now
[10:34] <shade_micro5> snax what age are u ?
[10:34] <qazibasit> MissDjax: did u analyze ur drives in gparted
[10:34] <arooni> how do i know the status of places ==> connnect to ftp server?  i just see the 'places' highligted... but i dont know what going on (and other menubars dont work)
[10:34] <Kagar> hmm, I'm confused with ndiswrapper,
[10:34] <Tatara> wonton: but i can't create a folder or a document in that partition still
[10:35] <Kagar> sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5 driver bcmwl5 is already installed
[10:35] <Kagar> and then sudo ndiswrapper -l bcmwl5 : invalid driver!
[10:35] <savvas> cjsstables: the intel x86 is for apple intel macs
[10:35] <cjsstables> savvas: thanks.  that is an older version but that would be sufficient
[10:35] <snax> old enough not to question the sexuality of software
[10:35] <MissDjax> qazibasit I checked the name of my 2 samsung HD and then checked the list of supported HDs on the hddtemp website
[10:35] <wonton> did you sudo chmod -R 0777 /media
[10:35] <shade_micro5> don't u work ?
[10:35] <savvas> cjsstables: you have all the versions here: http://releases.ubuntu.com
[10:35] <qazibasit> ok
[10:35] <arooni> anyone ?
[10:35] <snax> of course
[10:35] <wonton> that makes read/write
[10:35] <Tatara> wonton: yes, i did
[10:36] <wonton> what filesystem/
[10:36] <qazibasit> MissDjax: then it will be a prob for u
[10:36] <shade_micro5> well how do u have time for linux and irc lol ? :D
[10:36] <acidblood> Hi, I have a problem where I'm running a headless box running Linux which connects to my network via WiFi. My wireless access point likes rebooting from time to time, and while my OS X box will automatically reconnect, the Linux box won't, and being headless, that's a bit hard to fix. The only way I've found to restart connectivity is to stick a keyboard on it and do Ctrl-Alt-Del, but obviously that's not a very good solution. What can I do
[10:36] <wonton> ext3, ntfs, or what?
[10:36] <qazibasit> i want to install an RPM on my ubuntu is there any way
[10:36] <qazibasit> ?
[10:36] <qazibasit> ?
[10:36] <snax> Luckily I don't have to work all day long
[10:36] <mlankhorst> yes
[10:36] <Cray> Hello, can someone give me some help/advive. BAsically I am a teacher and want to use the Edubuntu OS. Some really good functions.
[10:36] <savvas> qazibasit: sudo apt-get install alien
[10:36] <MissDjax> qazibasit that is weird because they are quite new, should be supported imo :o/
[10:36] <zootm> qazibasit: Look into the tool "alien"
[10:36] <snax> although I use linux at work
[10:37] <zootm> qazibasit: You'd be best seeing if someone's created a .deb first though, I reckon
[10:37] <savvas> qazibasit: then sudo alien -i yourpackage.rpm
[10:37] <qazibasit> zoota :where is s this tool
[10:37] <Tatara> wonton: ooops, sorry, now it's doingn somn'...
[10:37] <shade_micro5> oh.. so ur a genius.. nice
[10:37] <shade_micro5> cpngrats
[10:37] <Cray> but I can`t allow kids to install on the school machines, can I remove the "install" option off the live cd?
[10:37] <qazibasit> ok i want to install mplayer
[10:37] <zootm> qazibasit: savvas has just said how to install and use it :)
[10:37] <qazibasit> and its available in RPM package
[10:37] <qazibasit> opk
[10:37] <qazibasit> ok
[10:37] <Cray> anyone?
[10:38] <Black_Cat> qazibasit: mplayer is perfectly available as .deb
[10:38] <_f0rtune_> Cray: does your school even allow you to use it?
[10:38] <qazibasit> Black_Cat: where any idea
[10:38] <woak> hey i just did a fresh install and when i run. startx i get (EE) No devices detected. any ideas?
[10:38] <Cray> ahhh, now I thought it was opensource, so why cant I allow my kids to run it live off the CD?
[10:38] <dsps> celinanasib20@hotmail.com
[10:38] <Black_Cat> qazibasit: erm... in repository i believe
[10:38] <Tatara> wonton: will it also let amule to make changes on files or folders?
[10:39] <savvas> Cray: you can pretty much do anything you want with live cds, as long as you know how
[10:39] <qazibasit> ok
[10:39] <ljvs> I need help.  Both my dvd drives stopped working after an update.  'mount /dev/hdc' gives me this:mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
[10:39] <ljvs>        missing codepage or other error
[10:39] <ljvs>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[10:39] <ljvs>        dmesg | tail  or s.  Any ideas?
[10:39] <Tatara> wonton: I'm askin' these 'cause the temp files were used to on windows are needed by amule to complete
[10:39] <shade_micro5> guys any of u got tuts ob c++ for linux ?
[10:39] <Tatara> wonton: ?
[10:39] <Cray> savvas: yes I guessed, so I guess my question is how do i remove the install optition, if my kids install it i`ll get shot!
[10:39] <wonton> can, you read, write, yet/
[10:40] <Tatara> wonton: I'm waiting terminal to finish it's job now...
[10:40] <moses_> ljvs: try mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mountpoint
[10:40] <Cray> _f0rtune: what did u mean before, why wouldnt they allow edubuntu to be used live?
[10:40] <Tatara> wonton: probably i have a bit huge directory
[10:40] <shade_micro5> anyone know some c++ good and free tuts ?
[10:40] <ljvs> ok . one sec
[10:40] <snax> Cray: I tried google and found http://www.atworkonline.it/~bibe/ubuntu/custom-livecd.htm
[10:40] <savvas> Cray: not sure, try right-click move to trash when you run the live cd :)
[10:40] <snax> Cray: there might be an easier way, but that shows one approach
[10:41] <cjsstables> savvas:  do you know when the PPC feisty home edition might be out?  Currently I run my server on my g5 quad.  It is a waste of power though and I want that box back for a power desktop but I would want to run feisty on it.   I could then install feisty server on my dual core intel mini.  So I would only have to wait for ubuntu feisty for ppc
[10:41] <Cray> thanks snax!
[10:41] <ljvs> It says mount point does not exist
[10:41] <Cray> savvas: that is no use if I give copied to put in the students laptops
[10:42] <ljvs> sorry. It says mount point /mountpoint does not exist
[10:42] <moses_> ljvs: change /mountpoint to /mnt
[10:42] <MissDjax> sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
[10:42] <MissDjax> /dev/sda: SAMSUNG HD501LJ                         : drive is sleeping
[10:42] <ljvs> ok
[10:42] <MissDjax> bleh...
[10:42] <moses_> :>
[10:42] <snax> Cray: here is another one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[10:42] <savvas> Cray: if you put it in and remove the shortcut and leave the live cd running, well only if they restart they'll have option again
[10:43] <AndrewB> cjsstables: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/feisty/release/
[10:43] <vlt> Hello. I want to replace an image object in a pdf file. What tool can handle this task?
[10:43] <ljvs> moses_: I get the same error.  Wrong fs type, bad option, etc...
[10:43] <Wess> Hi All, What is difference between Ubuntu CD and Ubuntu DVD, Is it that on the DVD all the commercial stuffs like java, flash,.... is pre-installed??
[10:43] <savvas> AndrewB: you're a big late :p
[10:43] <Access> Hello, quick question, my friend is bringing around a USB key, im bragging about my hax Ubuntu setup.. am I going to embarise myself when he tries to plug in his USB stick and Linux cant see it or automatically install it?
[10:43] <AndrewB> Oh.. ;)
[10:44] <snax> if the USB key is formatted FAT (most are), it should just work
[10:44] <AndrewB> Access: it should pick it up and turn up on the desktop
[10:44] <Access> If its NTFS?
[10:44] <moses_> ljvs: grep cdrom /etc/fstab
[10:44] <snax> I don't think it will, but I've never tested it
[10:44] <wonton> access, ntfs-3g
[10:44] <Cray> snax: sorry explain more, I didnt get the link!
[10:44] <Access> I dont know what ntfs-3g means. :(
[10:44] <savvas> cjsstables: already told you, all the releases are here: http://releases.ubuntu.com - you have feisty and even gutsy for ppc if i'm not mistaken
[10:44] <Access> Sorry n00b :P
[10:45] <Access> <= N00b
[10:45] <snax> Cray: go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[10:45] <savvas> ^ welcome
[10:45] <cjsstables> AndrewB:  awesome dude.  That even answered my next question about LVM support.  Thanks
[10:45] <snax> Cray: that's the official guide to Live CD customization
[10:45] <wonton> lol, it'll allow write access to ntfs
[10:45] <Cray> savvas: no your not getting my point. I want a CD I can use regularly and they can never use to install edubuntu!
[10:45] <MissDjax> qazibasit you you happen to know what I can do when hddtemp says "drive is sleeping" ?
[10:46] <Cray> snax: cheers buddy
[10:46] <savvas> Cray: then follow the link snax gave you :)
[10:46] <ljvs> moses_:ljvs@nibiru:~$ grep cdrom /etc/fstab
[10:46] <ljvs> /dev/hdc       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[10:46] <ljvs> /dev/hdd       /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[10:46] <qazibasit> MissDjax: extremely sorry never saw such status for a HD
[10:46] <wonton> http://www.ntfs-3g.org
[10:46] <shade_micro5> does cc also compile c++ ?
[10:46] <qazibasit> shade_micro5: u need gcc
[10:46] <Access> wonton: So its a program?
[10:47] <Access> wonton: Where is it located?
[10:47] <wonton> yes
[10:47] <shade_micro5> does ubuntu have it by defaullt ?
[10:47] <MissDjax> qazibasit oki no problem
[10:47] <snax> Access: what version of Ubuntu?
[10:47] <qazibasit> brb guys
[10:48] <wonton> try applications>add/remove, then type ntfs in search bar
[10:48] <Access> Hey thanks
[10:48] <snax> Access: I'm using the beta version (Gutsy) and it installs ntfs-3g by default
[10:48] <Access> Wonton: Yeah just installed it via terminal
[10:48] <Irreducibilis> Can ubuntu run on 32mb of ram?
[10:49] <Irreducibilis> and a 133mhz pentium?
[10:49] <snax> a full install? doubtful
[10:49] <pramz> very slowly unless you use something like fluxbox
[10:49] <cjsstables> ok later all...
[10:49] <pramz> gnome needs more memory+cpu
[10:49] <Irreducibilis> Well... I have no idea what to do with this old laptop then
[10:49] <snax> try doing a server install and run a very lightweight window manager
[10:49] <Irreducibilis> Any linux that will run on it?
[10:49] <wonton> irred, yes,
[10:49] <AndrewB> Irreducibilis: damnsmall linux?
[10:50] <Irreducibilis> Hmm
[10:50] <pramz> linux _will_ run on an old machine
[10:50] <wonton> damnsmall is debian
[10:50] <pramz> just not with full bells and whistles
[10:51] <wonton> or go with good ole trinux (console)
[10:51] <kippi> hey
[10:51] <pramz> talking about OSs and minimum requirements
[10:51] <pramz> I installed Vista for the first time today
[10:51] <AndrewB> Personally would go with wonton
[10:51] <wonton> noooooooooooooo!
[10:51] <Irreducibilis> I heard they even installed linux on a watch...
[10:51] <kippi> is there away to quicky show what is using up all my hard drive space on my server?
[10:51] <Irreducibilis> text interface only
[10:52] <astro76> !vista
[10:52] <ubotu> vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org
[10:52] <pramz> Irreducibilis, you can make the kernel really small and specialized if you know how
[10:52] <astro76> :D
[10:52] <pramz> and thus boot on really small systems
[10:52] <pramz> I bought 3 copies of Vista Ultimate today :-)
[10:52] <ljvs> :/
[10:52] <pramz> @ $45 each :-)
[10:53] <dgjones> i've installed ubuntu from the alternate edition on a PIII 733 with 128Mb ram, it runs ok, although it is fairly slow, upgrading to 384Mb certainly increases the speed significantly
[10:53] <pramz> dgjones, using which window manager ?
[10:53] <wonton> kernel, and fluxbox are all you need
[10:53] <dgjones> a straight forward ubuntu install using gnome
[10:54] <pramz> since i have my home PDC box running Linux+OpenLDAP+Samba and a whole lot of network services pretty well on a P3 500 with 512mb ram
[10:54] <dgjones> pramz, that was for you
[10:54] <pramz> ahh k
[10:54] <shade_micro5> u guys know where i can learn c++ for linux from ?
[10:54] <shade_micro5> i wanna learn it from scrathc
[10:54] <pramz> thats good then since gnome tends to be slow on systems with little memory
[10:54] <pramz> shade_micro5, i generally recommend a school which teaches csc classes :)
[10:54] <shade_micro5> although i know some pascal and some php and some html :
[10:55] <dgjones> pramz, even with the 128mb of ram, it still started up and ran faster than the same machine with win xp on it
[10:55] <shade_micro5> i know one
[10:55] <shade_micro5> BUT
[10:55] <wonton> booo, learn c
[10:55] <shade_micro5> its for money ppl
[10:55] <shade_micro5> :D
[10:55] <Access> mmmm so is there a simple way to create a network share that a windows machine can just dump files into?
[10:55] <shade_micro5> y would i wanna learn c instead of c++ ?
[10:55] <pramz> dgjones, really? WinXP so far had the better boot time with 128mb of ram but that does not last long (comparing only fresh installs, post update process)
[10:56] <pramz> for me at least
[10:56] <Access> Learning C++ you pretty much learn C
[10:56] <wonton> at least learn c first
[10:56] <pramz> shade_micro5, C++ is a superset of C
[10:56] <Access> Access disagree's
[10:56] <Access> :P
[10:56] <arun> Would you guys recommend using Vi or Emacs as an IDE/text editor
[10:56] <pramz> arun i recommend vim + cream
[10:56] <wonton> vi
[10:56] <Access> Vim if Vi is too Hax
[10:56] <wonton> nnoooooooo, just vi
[10:56] <shade_micro5> yeah man but i am like 17 and i dun have enough time in my life to learn all of them
[10:56] <shade_micro5> :d
[10:56] <pramz> i like my syntax highlighting
[10:56] <Tomcat_> arun: I'd recommend emacs, but I use vim.
[10:57] <wonton> or nano
[10:57] <shade_micro5> isn't linux made in c++ ?
[10:57] <pramz> arun, are you looking for a general purpose editor or something to use for development ?
[10:57] <SlimeyPete> shade_micro5: mostly in C, AFAIK
[10:57] <nbkr> shade_micro5, no, the kernel is written in c.
[10:57] <SlimeyPete> a lot of the apps (especially KDE ones) are written in C++
[10:57] <pramz> shade_micro5, kernel is in C, gnome is C with some C++ and C# , KDE is in C++
[10:58] <arun> pramz: for development. right now i'm using geany, which i love
[10:58] <shade_micro5> :O
[10:58] <pramz> arun, ahh ... I've been using vim+cream for everything except php, for that I recommend aptana
[10:58] <shade_micro5> waht am i supposed to learn to customize my system and all that?
[10:58] <shade_micro5> :D
[10:59] <wonton> niether
[10:59] <arun> i just installed compiz fusion on my ubuntu, i love it
[10:59] <pramz> shade_micro5, i'd recommend baby steps :) C is a good language to start learning, and if you learn C++ you also learn C
[10:59] <arun> i found a good guide to install it, never worked for me before
[10:59] <wonton> just be familiar with gcc
[10:59] <wonton> for compiling
[10:59] <shade_micro5> okay then.. u know of any good sites that offer offline tutorials for c
[10:59] <shade_micro5> coz my linux is kinda offline :D
[11:00] <terapicodave> how come when i try to use the arrow keys in vi when in insert mode, i get C's and D's
[11:00] <arun> shade_micro5: by choice?
[11:00] <wonton> yeah, thepiratebay
[11:00] <shade_micro5> waht y mean ?
[11:00] <shade_micro5> what u mean arun ?
[11:00] <Irreducibilis> For beginning programming, do something easy like VB or HTML, then work your way yp
[11:00] <pramz> shade_micro5, truth be told, as long as you can learn programming logic, theoretically switching language is just a matter of syntax. I know enough people who learned one language and can easily pick up others
[11:00] <SlimeyPete> shade_micro5: buying a book might be your best bet.
[11:00] <shade_micro5> i tryed
[11:00] <SlimeyPete> trawl Amazon for a while
[11:00] <pramz> SlimeyPete, heh I recommend school
[11:00] <shade_micro5> and i spend money for nothing
[11:00] <SlimeyPete> well yeah
[11:00] <pramz> rather than a book :)
[11:01] <arun> shade_micro5: why are you offline on linux? by choice, or you cant get your connection to work in linux
[11:01] <shade_micro5> it doesnt work
[11:01] <SlimeyPete> sign up for a CS degree or a City & Guilds (or whatever the equivalent is where you live)
[11:01] <terapicodave> books are good if you want to concentrate for a while on one subject...or you could hack your way to coding ninja status
[11:01] <SlimeyPete> failing that, buy a book.
[11:01] <shade_micro5> coz linux seems to be kinda gay when it comes to my isp's DHCP
[11:01] <shade_micro5>  :D
[11:01] <Filthpig> question: I'm trying to modify the layout of the buttons in the window decoration in gnome, and I've entered gconf-editor - metacity - general - button_layout with both sudo and su,  but it tells me "The key is not writable", even as root
[11:01] <shade_micro5> so.. it's c then :d
[11:01] <Filthpig> any idea how to make it writeable?
[11:02] <wonton> shade, compare ipconfig/wondows to ifconfig/ubuntu
[11:02] <shade_micro5> better
[11:02] <shade_micro5> ipconfig works
[11:02] <shade_micro5> ifconfig doesnt
[11:02] <shade_micro5> :D
[11:02] <shade_micro5> ismple
[11:02] <shade_micro5> *simple
[11:02] <wonton> naw,
[11:02] <Irreducibilis> Can ubuntu install to a 4GB flash drive?
[11:02] <s0y> ifconfig in ubuntu...
[11:03] <shade_micro5> doesn't work for me :(
[11:03] <pramz> shade_micro5, man ifconfig
[11:03] <wonton> ifconfig should give youinfo
[11:03] <shade_micro5> allready tryed to ifconfig and some other stuff someone here told me to do
[11:03] <shade_micro5> :(
[11:04] <wonton> what does 'doesn't work for me' mean?
[11:04] <shade_micro5> and that wasted like 1.5 hours of me life
[11:04] <shade_micro5> it doesn't work for me but for others it does
[11:04] <wonton> only?!?
[11:04] <shade_micro5> coz they got routes
[11:04] <Filthpig> Irreducibilis: http://lifehacker.com/software/ubuntu/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-a-flash-drive-245087.php
[11:04] <shade_micro5> *routers
[11:04] <shade_micro5> and i don;t
[11:04] <shade_micro5> but
[11:04] <shade_micro5> windows can live without the router
[11:04] <pramz> shade_micro5, if you gave that guy the same amount of information you are giving us now, I can see why it did not work
[11:04] <shade_micro5> linux can't
[11:04] <s0y> what does it say when you try it?
[11:04] <shade_micro5> nope
[11:05] <wonton> yes, slow down
[11:05] <shade_micro5> toook me quite a whie
[11:05] <shade_micro5> *while
[11:05] <DOH> hello channel
[11:05] <pramz> shade_micro5, also try to keep your sentences on _one_ line
[11:05] <DOH> someone arrived who can answer an kernel compile question ?
[11:05] <shade_micro5> and lots of restarts :D
[11:05] <Filthpig> !hi | DOH
[11:05] <shade_micro5> sorry
[11:05] <ubotu> DOH: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:05] <pramz> also it looks like there is a bash quote somewhere a few lines up
[11:05] <kousotu> miro:
[11:05] <kousotu>  Depends: libboost-python1.33.1  but it is not installable
[11:05] <shade_micro5> it's just that i wanted to start to learn linux programming
[11:06] <kousotu> why am I getting this error? incompatabl player version?
[11:06] <shade_micro5> and my internet is not working on linux and i am frustrated
[11:06] <arun> shade_micro5: why isn't it working?
[11:06] <shade_micro5> idk
[11:06] <s0y> what happens when you try ifconfig
[11:06] <shade_micro5> i forgot
[11:06] <arun> shade_micro5: enter ifconfig in the terminal
[11:07] <arun> and see what you get
[11:07] <shade_micro5> i must log into linux to do that
[11:07] <shade_micro5> i am now in windows
[11:07] <shade_micro5> coz i dualboot
[11:07] <shade_micro5> so.. wait for me to restart
[11:07] <wonton> paste the results of ifconfig
[11:07] <shade_micro5> it'll take a while till i'll be back
[11:07] <sQuiDY> can someone tell me the default partitions for a clean feisty install?
[11:07] <sQuiDY> i need this for reference..
[11:08] <pramz> sQuiDY, what do you mean ?
[11:08] <wonton> shade open cmd, and paste the results of ipconfig
[11:08] <sQuiDY> liek if i were to do a clean feisty install
[11:08] <ari_stress> sQuiDY: if i remember it correctly: /, swap
[11:08] <sQuiDY> what woudl the default partition table look like
[11:08] <pramz> sQuiDY, what ari_stress said
[11:08] <sQuiDY> like.. hda1 would be boot
[11:08] <wonton> hmm
[11:08] <pramz> those are the 2 minimum, you can even do a swapless install if you have enough ram
[11:09] <sQuiDY> what is the default?
[11:09] <sQuiDY> can you break it down for me?
[11:09] <sQuiDY> like.. hda1 is blah
[11:09] <pramz> sQuiDY, i don't know default, i use my own layout
[11:09] <sQuiDY> hda2 woudl be blah
[11:09] <Tatara> can we use different wallpapers for each desktop on ubuntu, and different shortcuts etc..??
[11:10] <arun> Tatara: I dont think you can do that on Ubuntu, that's a KDE feature as of now
[11:10] <kousotu> shade_micro5: what card?
[11:10] <DOH> i was asking in xubuntu already but none there could answer right now - so i try here again: i want the .config file for the actual installed kernel. its not available, so i synaptic the actual kernel source and the ubuntu patches, extracted it in usr/src, made the link for linux, changed into this dir and get a lot of nonintialised variables on try make someting ( config, xconfig, oldconfig, blah )... what did i wrong ? maybe is the ker
[11:10] <Tatara> arun: well, is there anything i can do about it?
[11:10] <sQuiDY> anyone have a working dual boot on a thinkpad x series?
[11:10] <sQuiDY> this is a huge pain inthe arse
[11:11] <wonton> DOH, don't use that config
[11:11] <arun> Tatara: i think so.. hold on, i'd seen a workaround for this
[11:11] <Eviltronic> I have radeon 9550 and i installed drivers from "restricted" allthought i have bat refresh rate. When i change to higher resolution i get only 60 hz refresh rate but my monitor is supporting upp to 120 hz refresh rate.
[11:11] <DOH> wonton: then how ? :)
[11:11] <wonton> doh, it's generic, and enormouns
[11:11] <Tatara> arun: ok..:) waiting here..
[11:11] <wonton> then make menuconfig
[11:11] <wonton> make a new one
[11:11] <DOH> Linux eric-ubuntu 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[11:11] <DOH> iam running this version
[11:12] <DOH> it does not work wonton
[11:12] <DOH> make anything wont work
[11:12] <DOH> error messages
[11:12] <Access> How would i go about creating a shared folder, allowing windows (vista) to just dump stuff into it?
[11:12] <arun> Tatara: http://wallpapoz.akbarhome.com/
[11:12] <wonton> are you apgrading to a new kernel?
[11:12] <arun> Tatara: this will let you use different wallpapers for different workspaces
[11:12] <DOH> wonton: thats a not helping question
[11:12] <Tatara> arun: ok, checkin immediately..:)
[11:13] <wonton> are you recompiling
[11:13] <DOH> xubuntu got an usb-atm modem running and i need the kernel config for puppylinux to make it work there
[11:13] <arun> anyone here use geany?
[11:13] <Tatara> arun: but am i wrong or not: it says it works in beryl/compiz... only in it? i don't have beryl or compz
[11:13] <kou> .
[11:14] <wonton> www.kernel.org
[11:14] <DOH> wie witzig
[11:14] <arun> Tatara: it's not only for beryl
[11:14] <DOH> ich hab gengend kernel bersetzt auf allen systemen
[11:14] <arun> try it out
[11:15] <arun> Tatara: actually
[11:15] <SleepyHare> Hello. How do I rescan all my plug-n-play usb devices without rebooting in feisty?
[11:15] <DOH> ich will keinen vanilla kernel bersetzen sondern exact den kernel der auf der 7.04 ist
[11:15] <wonton> so, then you are recompiling the kernel for puppy linux?
[11:15] <Tatara> arun: ok, tried to find it from synaptic... no results..:(
[11:15] <arun> Tatara: i dont know if you should try it out.. it might require you to compile stuff
[11:15] <DOH> yes. i need the .config file and the modem drivers so i can make a running kernel for puppy
[11:15] <Tatara> arun: compile?
[11:16] <DOH> they use on ubuntu a special kernel loader and modules they in the vanilla doesnt exist
[11:16] <arun> Tatara: some applications are not in synaptic and you require to 'compile' them from the source code. not nice.
[11:16] <majorjrk> any time i modprobe something it just hangs, any tip ? i think it might be because i tried modprobe a driver earlier that was wrong or didnt fit with kernel, and now i cant remove it
[11:16] <wonton> you will want the latest kernel from www.kernel.org, not ubuntu's genkernel config
[11:17] <DOH> wonton: ok, again in english my previous message .... I DONT WANT TO COMPILE A VANILLA KERNEL
[11:17] <arun> Tatara: are you shifting to gnome from kde?
[11:17] <shade_micro5> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35767/
[11:17] <DOH> i compiled on many systems many kernels over the years - and the only thing i need are  a link how to get the actual kernel compiled
[11:17] <shade_micro5> this is the ifoconfig
[11:18] <wonton> ok, you want restricted modules
[11:18] <Tatara> no, i think not yet, why?
[11:18] <Tatara> arun: no, i think not yet, why?
[11:18] <kronos> hello
[11:18] <kronos> i need some help with a messed up thing ...
[11:18] <kronos> i mean, i messed it up :-D
[11:19] <simplechat> i'd hope so :)
[11:19] <nbkr> kronos, just ask your question.
[11:19] <DOH> wonton: ok, maybe a link for me and the restricted modules ?
[11:20] <kronos> uhm... you know that by default you are not asked for a root password when you install ubuntu ... and the only thing that helps you a lot in this case is /etc/sudoers...
[11:20] <SleepyHare> Hello. How do I rescan all my plug-n-play usb devices without rebooting in feisty?
[11:20] <wonton> lsmod
[11:20] <arun> Tatara: i was used to using different wallpapers for different desktops in kde, i used to like that a lot. cant do it here though
[11:20] <kronos> well... I messed it up :|
[11:20] <arun> but on the whole, i've found ubuntu to be a much smoother experience than kubuntu
[11:20] <arun> attention to detail
[11:20] <kronos> and I cannot get root access on my own machine now :-|
[11:20] <tomek_> hello, where is the list of packages I chose to install (in synaptic or the other app manager)?
[11:20] <shade_micro5> who was it that said he wanted to help me with my internet conn ?
[11:20] <kronos> can anyone help ?
[11:21] <nbkr> kronos, Does sudo not work anymore?
[11:21] <wonton> shade, so you'll need to anually set yer ip
[11:21] <kronos> nbkr nope
[11:21] <wonton> manually
[11:21] <nbkr> kronos, What is the errormessage you get, when using it?
[11:21] <shade_micro5> i tryed that
[11:21] <shade_micro5> and didn;t work
[11:21] <shade_micro5> and anyway.. i wanna make it so that i dun have windows installed any more
[11:21] <nbkr> tomek_, try dpkg -l (minor L)
[11:21] <shade_micro5> only linux
[11:21] <kronos> nbkr : >>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 18 <<<
[11:21] <kronos> sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 18
[11:22] <wonton> and your default gateway
[11:22] <Tatara> aron: thanks a lot, I's thinking to work about it for now, I mean the wallpapoz, but...
[11:22] <Tatara> aron: i think i first have to get over with my 3d problems, drivers, xorg, glx etc...:(
[11:22] <shade_micro5> wonton i introduced the ip mask dns all there was
[11:22] <tomek_> nbkr: how to remove the dependencies?
[11:23] <tomek_> nbkr: from the list ;)
[11:23] <DOH> kronos: then your sudoers file has an error at line 18
[11:23] <shade_micro5> esxept something called search domains or something
[11:23] <arun> Tatara: what problems?
[11:23] <wonton> dns?
[11:23] <nbkr> kronos, that is there reason why you should never ever edit /etc/sudoers directly but only via visudo. visudo does a syntax check before saving the file. Anyway - reboot the maschine to single user mode or use a live cd to edit the sudoers file.
[11:23] <shade_micro5> yah i entered that also
[11:23] <nbkr> tomek_, Why would anyone want to do this?
[11:23] <arun> Tatara: sorry, got disconnected. what problems
[11:24] <DOH> wonton: ok, i load the kernel image with the restricted modules, maybe this includes a /proc/config or a working source. at least it downloads 40mb
[11:24] <arun> my music and other sounds sound much better on ubuntu than kubuntu. could this be because of gstreamer?
[11:24] <wonton> doh, it isn't the kernel
[11:25] <Tatara> well, ati radeon 9550 256mb problems
[11:25] <Tatara> i installed the orijinal ati drivers from it's site
[11:25] <Access> So yeah, about adding, a full access shares directory on Ubuntu? I created a Shared Director under administration then right-click properties on the folder and set it to 777....  But when im on the vista machine, I go //access and I just get a password (which no matter what I put in wont work :()
[11:25] <shade_micro5> do u know why so far no linux was able to auto detect my isp's details, while windows did it with no probs ?
[11:25] <wonton> ubuntu provides *extra modules
[11:25] <snax> arun: check your volume levels to make sure you aren't overdriving your speakers
[11:25] <DOH> wonton: what isnt the kernel ?
[11:25] <tomek_> nbkr: I need to change my machine I would get a list of software I used on the old one
[11:25] <xjkx> 107      14605  0.0  0.0   2100   272 ?        S    00:31   0:00 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sda
[11:25] <arun> snax: no i'm not
[11:25] <xjkx> what does that mean
[11:25] <snax> hmmm
[11:25] <Tatara> aron: but, i missed something, so the 3d does not work
[11:25] <arun> Tatara: it's arun :)
[11:25] <Tatara> aron: even the screensavers kill the computer..:)
[11:26] <Tatara> aron: yes, it's some run..:D
[11:26] <arun> Tatara: don't know too much about ati cards.. have you checked the community documentation for ati cards?
[11:26] <arun> !ati
[11:26] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:26] <kronos> nbkr: there's no other way I can do this remotely ? :-|
[11:26] <nbkr> tomek_, dpkg --get-selection > file.txt on the old one. sudo dpkg --set-selection < file.txt on the new one. Afterwards sudo apt-get -f install on the new one I think.
[11:26] <Tatara> yes, i've been checking since i have this ubuntu..:D
[11:26] <wonton> shade, how are you connected, you > modem > isp > internet?
[11:26] <solitude|> hau
[11:26] <tomek_> nbkr: thank you
[11:26] <solitude|> hay*
[11:26] <shade_micro5> yeah
[11:26] <shade_micro5> guess soo
[11:26] <DOH> reboot
[11:26] <solitude|> anyone know the installed size of http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/metapackages/ubuntu-minimal.en.html ?
[11:26] <nbkr> kronos, I'm not aware of any other way. Maybe someone else knows.
[11:27] <shade_micro5> my computer > modem > and then somehow to the internet
[11:27] <wonton> what kind of wire to modem
[11:27] <wonton> cat5?
[11:27] <Eviltronic> I have radeon 9550 and i installed drivers from "restricted" allthought i have bat refresh rate. When i change to higher resolution i get only 60 hz refresh rate but my monitor is supporting upp to 120 hz refresh rate.
[11:27] <wonton> usb?
[11:27] <shade_micro5> coopper i think
[11:27] <dEn_> hi i just installed ubuntu and made a partition ntfs for vista, then in installed vista . now when i boot grub fails with the error booting 'windows vista' acpi vista loader fallback 1 find -set -root /bootmgr
[11:27] <shade_micro5> u mean from comp. to modem ?
[11:27] <wonton> yes
[11:27] <shade_micro5> eth
[11:27] <kronos> nbkr: ok, thanks
[11:28] <SleepyHare> Hello. How do I rescan all my plug-n-play usb devices without rebooting in feisty?
[11:28] <wonton> is your modem configurable/
[11:28] <shade_micro5> if configures itself
[11:28] <shade_micro5> there is no way i can configure it
[11:28] <nbkr> SleepyHare, What do you mean with "rescan"
[11:29] <shade_micro5> it communicates with my isp and configures itself
[11:29] <wonton> almost
[11:29] <shade_micro5> or at least that;s what they told me
[11:29] <stefg> !fixres | Eviltronic
[11:29] <ubotu> Eviltronic: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:29] <shade_micro5> but of course most of them are just complete idiots >.<
[11:29] <shade_micro5> brb
[11:30] <SleepyHare> nbkr, well, if I connect a usb-device it is then recognized and automounted. That doesn`t happen after I use these usb-devices in VirtualBox...
[11:30] <Eviltronic> thnx stefg
[11:31] <kronos> does anyone know how can I get root access on my own machine ? with no root password and no sudoers entry ?
[11:31] <Filthpig> question: I'm trying to modify the layout of the buttons in the window decoration in gnome, and I've entered gconf-editor - metacity - general - button_layout with both sudo and su,  but it tells me "The key is not writable", even as root
[11:31] <Filthpig> any idea how to make it writeable?
[11:31] <robn> eviltronic: could also press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[11:31] <SlimeyPete> kronos: boot the livecd and edit your sudoers file from there?
[11:31] <Access> !samba
[11:31] <kronos> how about remotely ? :D
[11:31] <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
[11:31] <Eviltronic> robn: To restart X-server? It doesnt do anything with refresh rate or resolution. I have to fix refresh rate.
[11:32] <ord> hey
[11:32] <nbkr> SleepyHare, sorry - I'm not used to Virtualbox.
[11:32] <SleepyHare> nbkr, I have an external dvd-recorder and I use it in VirtualBox, after VB is off the dvd-rec won`t come up in the system as a device, no matter the replugging attempts.
[11:32] <mdll> hey
[11:32] <SlimeyPete> kronos: If you have no sudoers entry and no physical access then you're in deep trouble ;)
[11:32] <kronos> SlimeyPete i know :|
[11:32] <DOH> kronos: does "su" work ?
[11:32] <SleepyHare> nbkr, so by rescan I mean, how do I look for usb-devices that are not automatically mounted?
[11:33] <kronos> DOH yes
[11:33] <DOH> thats enough. do a su, then edit as root the /etc/sudoers file
[11:33] <ord> can any on help me in ubuntu grub
[11:33] <shade_micro5> wonton i'm back
[11:33] <robn> Eviltronic, sorry me being an idiot, replying to bot. to change refresh rates you need to edit your xorg.conf
[11:33] <jacob> can anybody tell me why i can't play mp3 files in banshee?
[11:33] <kronos> DOH didn't set the password for root , that's the thing
[11:34] <stefg> dEn_: Vista is pretty unsocial... !mp3
[11:34] <nbkr> SleepyHare, You can mount devices via sudo mount manually
[11:34] <shade_micro5> wonton: got any more tips for me

[11:34] <ord> how can i change settings of grub
[11:34] <stefg> oops .. something left in the clipboard buffer
[11:34] <wonton> does your modem have an ip/
[11:34] <stefg> !grub
[11:34] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:34] <shade_micro5>  what do u mean by that ?
[11:34] <Eviltronic> robn: Sure. I'm trying to find out how to change refresh rate for my Radeon 9550 since it just uses 60 hz on higher resolutions.
[11:34] <SlimeyPete> ord: edit /boot/grb/menu.lst
[11:34] <DOH> kronos: then edit the file from the live cd :) like wonton said

[11:35] <SlimeyPete> (see urls from ubotu for more info)
[11:35] <ord> can i change the default os to windows loader
[11:35] <shade_micro5> WONTON: what do u mean by my modem having an ip ?
[11:35] <SlimeyPete> ord: yes.
[11:35] <jacob> can somebody help me play mp3 files in banshee?
[11:35] <ord> thanx slimeypete
[11:35] <kronos> DOH yeah I know... but how can I do this remotely ? :D
[11:35] <DOH> kronos: but then the answer is wrong -- su does not work in your case
[11:35] <wonton> your nic has an ip, does your modem have one as well/
[11:35] <majorjrk> how do i request a dhcp lease for wlan0 ?
[11:35] <robn> Eviltronic: open a terminal and run "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" (make a backup before you change anything) you'll find the resolutions in there
[11:36] <SleepyHare> nbkr, what parameters do I use to specify that is a recorder? I`ve used sudo mount /dev/scd0 and I got my dvd with the disc icon in Nautilus, but that looks just like a read-only drive. I mean the system still doesn`t know it`s a recording device, so I can`t use it.
[11:36] <terapicodave> majorjrk: sudo dhclient wlan0
[11:36] <shade_micro5> WONTON: nope... not that i know of
[11:36] <wonton> ok
[11:36] <stefg> majorjrk: sudo dhclient wln0
[11:36] <stefg> majorjrk: sudo dhclient wlan0
[11:36] <DOH> kronos: you are not physically on this machine ? and only access as user and no sudo
[11:36] <robn> Eviltronic: save your changes then restart X. you got the ATI drivers installed?
[11:36] <Eviltronic> robn: I know... But the point is that i have to fix refresh rate not resolution. I have all possible resolutions but refresh rate is stuck at 60 hz on higher resolutions.
[11:36] <shade_micro5> WONTON: our isps just tells us to set up windows to automatically configure
[11:36] <majorjrk> hmm, so i shouldnbt have installed dhcpcd
[11:36] <DOH> kronos: thats a bad start :)
[11:36] <Eviltronic> robn: Yes i did.
[11:37] <yokomo> is there a smaller toolbar or dock for gnome?  I tried avant but it left this weird black stripe across the  bottom of my screen
[11:37] <terapicodave> majorjrk: i'm sure you didn't need to...
[11:37] <yokomo> I guess I am looking for some eye candy for gnome, I got compiz running...
[11:37] <robn> Eviltronic: sorry, not mistyping everything here, refresh rates are in there too, have you changed them and its still not working?
[11:37] <wonton> ok, then what they were saying before was slightly true

[11:37] <wonton> you don't need a router
[11:37] <DOH> someone can get me a link for the kernel sources for the 7.04 xubuntu ?
[11:38] <Eviltronic> robn: Its ok. I'm readin about it now.
[11:38] <wonton> you need a dsl router w/switch
[11:38] <shade_micro5> WONTON: omg
[11:38] <stefg> DOH: sudo apt-get install linux-source ...
[11:38] <wonton> *cheap
[11:38] <DOH> stefg: i did
[11:38] <kronos> DOH I know ... I don't have physical access at this moment, maybe tommorow when I get home, and now remotely ... I cannot get root access ... and I cannot wait `till tommorow to do this :-| Are you aware of any other way on how could I fix this ?
[11:39] <kronos> maybe reset sudoers file to previous state, or something
[11:39] <shade_micro5> WONTON: but this is so stupid :( they said in theyr site that u can connect to the isp even if u've got *nix
[11:39] <SlimeyPete> not possible without root, kronos, unless you're a l33t h4x0r
[11:39] <stefg> DOH: this put a .bz2 archive with the kernel source in /usr/src. unpacking and processing is your job, not apt's
[11:40] <DOH> kronos: are you with ssh on your remote machine ?
[11:40] <kronos> SlimeyPete well, I wisj I was :-)
[11:40] <kronos> DOH yes
[11:40] <stefg> DOH: but if you are going to build a kernel, don't use *that* source. it's outdated
[11:41] <DOH> you edited your sudoers as root and the change is rejected for syntax errors. i dont have an idea how to solve it. maybe ask a friend to insert the cd
[11:41] <shade_micro5> WONTON: guess linux is not as good as they say :(
[11:41] <DOH> stefg: i got the latest source via synaptic
[11:41] <DOH> the point is - i need exact the kernel from the installer cd, i want to compile this kernel for a different system and i need the .config file for do so
[11:42] <kronos> DOH ok, I guess I give up :| thanks for the help
[11:42] <stefg> DOH: this ain't the latest source with all sec.-fixes IMHO. It's the source in the state when feisty froze before release
[11:42] <DOH> D'OH :)
[11:42] <stefg> DOH: the build config is in /boot
[11:43] <stefg> !kernel | DOH
[11:43] <ubotu> DOH: 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
[11:43] <DOH> oh thanks friends ... those were the infos i needed :)
[11:44] <Access> My Ubuntu machine is Access, on my Windows machine if I type in //access is SAMBA the program that controls the access to it?
[11:44] <DOH> Access: no
[11:45] <stefg> !samba | Access
[11:45] <ubotu> Access: 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
[11:45] <DOH> you need the path too .. //ACCESS/PATH
[11:45] <Access> Hmm, when I type in //access I get a username and password.. I just want windows to access my computer.
[11:45] <DOH> is there a plain windows access program like krdc or something out of the box on ubuntu ?
[11:45] <stefg> Access: and make sure you have corresponding accounts on the windows and linux-box
[11:46] <DOH> of course access, you need an account on your linux machine for the remote access
[11:46] <stefg> !info tsclient
[11:46] <Access> Cant I just allow anyone to join?
[11:46] <ubotu> tsclient: front-end for viewing of remote desktops in GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 0.148-2ubuntu3 (feisty), package size 293 kB, installed size 1052 kB
[11:46] <Access> Or use my admin password?
[11:46] <stefg> Access: samba doesn't like that too much
[11:46] <DOH> use an own account access
[11:47] <Access> I tried going //access/shane
[11:47] <Access> and the password
[11:47] <Access> didnt like it
[11:47] <Access> I tried shane@access
[11:47] <Access> then the password
[11:47] <Access> Didnt like that either :(
[11:47] <DOH> do you have an user shane on your linux host ?
[11:47] <DOH> and has the user a pass ?
[11:47] <stefg> Access: smppasswd -e
[11:47] <stefg> Access: smbpasswd -e rather
[11:47] <Access> yeah im on user shane now
[11:48] <stefg> Access: you need to setup sambas authentication method
[11:48] <Access> stefg: So what do I type?
[11:48] <jacob> can somebody teach me how to play mp3 files in banshee?
[11:49] <stefg> !samba
[11:49] <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
[11:49] <charly> olaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[11:49] <Access> smbpasswd -e  gives me a usage guide
[11:49] <stefg> How about reading it ?
[11:50] <Access> Yeah stefg: Ive been looking through that guide
[11:50] <Access> Im not exactly which part applies to me.
[11:50] <DOH> hehe :)
[11:51] <Access> Like Kerberos, LDAP etc. I just need a directory that allows windows to dump stuff into it. Im not exactly sure what you call it.
[11:51] <cbanbury> Is there anyway to set the login screen so all you have to enter is your password?
[11:51] <cbanbury> (and not face browser)
[11:51] <stefg>  Access:  this part: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/configuring-samba.html#windows-networking-server
[11:52] <arctanx> Hi, I saw an article saying that the Intel 3945 proprietary wireless drivers were to be integrated into ubuntu. Has that happened yet?
[11:53] <DOH> iam not sure cbanbury, maybe login settings anywhere ?
[11:53] <stefg> Access: you still need to authenticate as a valid user with writing rights. this means setting up a user (most convinient is the user/pass of your win account) and tell samba to use the Linux logon as authentication mechanism
[11:54] <DOH> cbanbury: applications/settings/loginsettings ... or so
[11:54] <cbanbury> I had a look, but you still have to choose a user
[11:55] <cbanbury> I'm the only one that uses the laptop, and I don't want to have to enter my name everytime I log on
[11:55] <DOH> cbanbury: sek ...
[11:55] <DOH> cbanbury: mayby you try automatic login ?
[11:56] <cbanbury> Sorry, I do want to be able to enter my password though
[11:56] <DOH> no idea then :)
[11:56] <cbanbury> so I want the security, just don't want to have to keep typing my name :P
[11:56] <DOH> cbanbury: click on the face . it enters the name automatic i think
[11:56] <DOH> one click more
[11:57] <cbanbury> ok, thanks
[11:57] <cbanbury> stefg, what is the laptops power-on password?
[11:58] <stefg> cbanbury: most newer laptops do have a feature in the bios to require a password to even boot
[11:58] <cbanbury> ahh, yes
[11:59] <cbanbury> now I'm being really pedantic
[11:59] <cbanbury> I have a biometric fingerprint reader
[11:59] <Levoc> Bit of a long winded question, but I'd appreciate some help if possible.   I installed Ubuntu with Grub since the installer under the Live CD would keep freezing at 24%. Now however I can't boot to my windows installation even when looking under the boot menu in Grub. I've even gone so far as to wipe the partition with Ubuntu on it and now Grub is giving me an Error 22 code. I can get back into Ubuntu with a live CD but that's about it
[11:59] <wonton_> super grub disk
[12:00] <Frogzoo> cbanbury: if you have drivers for the read, you need to update pam & you're pretty much done
[12:00] <cbanbury> What do you mean?
[12:00] <cbanbury> I can log on using the fingerprint reader normally
[12:01] <cbanbury> just cant use it to enter passwords in the BIOS
[12:01] <stefg> Levoc: by wiping the ubuntu partition you wiped grub's config file as well. Restore the windows MBR (remove grub's MBR part) by using the windows CD rescue console and give 'fixmbr'
[12:01] <DOH> how to access windows shares ?
[12:01] <SlimeyPete> !samba
[12:01] <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
[12:01] <cbanbury> I have a tablet PC, so don't want to enter my name at boot cus it means gettin the keyboard out
[12:01] <majorjrk> Anyone know where i find a up2date working script to automate nnvidia driver install ? worked like charm last i used it but cant find it
[12:01] <arctanx> Levoc: Grub reads info off the linux partition. That grub install will be dead now. Your best bet is to get a bootable dos cd (like ultimate bootable cd) and do a fdisk /mbr so your windows will be booted as normal
[12:01] <enry> HELP!! i have to sold my laptop how to erase my account withot reinstall all the OS??
[12:02] <SlimeyPete> deluser
[12:02] <enry> helppp pleese
[12:02] <arctanx> enry: sudo rm -rf /home will delete all your files in your home folder too.
[12:02] <Levoc> Thanks for the answers all. I'll try the fixmbr.
[12:02] <anathematic> HOLY SHIT IT'S A LION
[12:02] <wonton_> deluser, and rm -R /home/username
[12:02] <enry> arctanx there isa a way tp change also the root name??
[12:02] <DOH> on different systems it is smb4k .. :)
[12:03] <arctanx> enry: so you're trying to sell your laptop with ubuntu still installed, just you want your account deleted?
[12:03] <stefg> enry: you still need a default user with admin rights on that box, otherwise it isn't accessible. So create a new admin user and delete your previous account from there
[12:03] <wonton_> sudo rm -rf /home/*
[12:03] <arctanx> enry: if so, you should create a fresh new account which has sudo privileges, and delete your old account
[12:03] <DOH> awful
[12:04] <enry> arctanx yes i have to sell my laptop but the rott name is my name it's better if i change it
[12:04] <stefg> wonton_: that will render the box quite unusable
[12:04] <arctanx> enry: Yup well just do what stefg suggested
[12:04] <wonton_> del contents of home
[12:04] <Frogzoo> enry: deluser ? maybe backup your /home somewhere for data you want to keep - also /var/ if you have any databases/web pages
[12:05] <enry> no i whant to erase all my inpostation
[12:05] <enry> i ehant to leave only standard Ubuntu
[12:06] <Frogzoo> enry: sudo deluser --remove-all-files enry
[12:06] <stefg> enry: you could grep through the file system for all files that belong to your UID , if you want to be pedantic :-)
[12:06] <Frogzoo> stefg: deluser does same thing
[12:06] <tyler-wylie> Where in gconf-editor can I enable/disable the startup splash screen?
[12:07] <stefg> tyler-wylie: you mean gnome's splash or the boot splash (uspalsh) ?
[12:07] <tyler-wylie> stefg: the gnome splash sorry i should've been more specific
[12:07] <Jowi> tyler-wylie, /apps/gnome-session/options/show_splash_screen
[12:08] <tyler-wylie> thanks Jowi
[12:08] <Jowi> tyler-wylie, searching for "splash" within the gconf-editor would have given you that.
[12:08] <kauer> enry: If there is nothing embarrassing on the disk, just delete your home directory as wonton suggested or use deluser as Frogzoo suggested. Otherwise you probably *should* wipe the entire disk. the purchaser can install Ubuntu him/her self (it's free after all).
[12:09] <stefg> enry: you can even do a fresh install, but clone the previous package selection
[12:09] <stefg> !clone | enry
[12:09] <ubotu> enry: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate
[12:09] <DOH> i really dont understand why people using ubuntu :)
[12:10] <kauer> enry: Before you delete your account (if that's what you decide to do) it would be nice for the next purchaser if you created a new account and put it in the admin group, then tell the purchaser the password. Otherwise they have to use single-user mode to set one up, and if they aren't that Linux-capable that might be a bit scary.
[12:10] <stefg> Could it be that they just like it better than anything else, DOH ?
[12:10] <downhillgames> DOH; Fedora 7 may suite you a lot better if you don't like Ubuntu.
[12:10] <DOH> stefg: no
[12:10] <TTilus> DOH: we dont require you to...  ;)
[12:10] <clouder> I'm with kauer, zero fill that shit and drop it off at the pawn shop like your ex-fiance's wedding band
[12:10] <wonton_> doh, try LFS
[12:10] <DOH> iam using sidux, knoppix, earlier kanotix, freeBSD, puppylinux
[12:11] <DOH> ubuntu is the system with the most hasseable interface
[12:11] <predaeus> !language
[12:11] <cwillu> !ltsp
[12:11] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:11] <ubotu> LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project
[12:11] <Lappy> apt-get update is not working, an I think the reason is because my ISP has some stuff cached, usually I just put my friend's proxy server in synaptic, and everything works, but his proxy is down now... so i'm wondering if there's a different approach to this? either bypass cache or force the ISP's cache to refresh?
[12:11] <downhillgames> DOH; cool. if i typed all the distros and OSes i've used it would flood the channel
[12:11] <wonton_> gnome*ick
[12:11] <downhillgames> gonna go
[12:12] <DOH> downhillgames: maybe, iam using the systems. here running sidux right now and ubuntu in virtualbox to get some informations
[12:12] <TTilus> DOH: then you'd better just stick with what you like the best, it's good we have a choise you know
[12:12] <DOH> try sam for 3d desktop ( working ), try Elive if you want enlightenment as desktop manager
[12:12] <stefg> DOH: you're just not used to it yet.... don't assume your /habbits/ are the measure of all things. But, hey, there's a sh*tload  of distros out there, feel free to try them all :-)
[12:12] <DOH> TTilus: i will ... iam here to get some informations about kernel - and i get help from stef an wotan :)
[12:12] <TTilus> Lappy: call your ISP and complain?
[12:13] <Jowi> DOH, I can only speak for myself but my choice was a large part that 1. it has .debs and 2. great community which make it easy to get help in tricky situations.
[12:13] <Amaranth> DOH: What is sam?
[12:13] <DOH> sidux and debian generally got it too
[12:13] <Lappy> TTilus: I've done that a lot... they are idiots and useless... they know nothing of what they're doing.
[12:13] <DOH> sam is a distribution with a working 3d desktop -- but to much play
[12:13] <TTilus> Lappy: change ISP?
[12:13] <Jowi> DOH, #ubuntu-offtopic is a better channel for this discussion though. this channel is for support.
[12:14] <DOH> ok, sry ...
[12:14] <Lappy> if there was another decent one I would have changed long ago TTilus
[12:14] <TTilus> Lappy: ...if you have a choise, do you?
[12:14] <Nalleman> Is there any good alternatives for applications to keep track on photos except from fspot and picasa?
[12:14] <Amaranth> DOH: Please do join there, I'm interested in your opinions :)
[12:14] <TTilus> Lappy: to bad :(
[12:14] <Lappy> TTilus: true.
[12:14] <TTilus> Nalleman: i'm using kphotoalbum
[12:14] <Lappy> mm, I just did: apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True - that worked.
[12:15] <DOH> Nalleman: do you mean online keep track of local ?
[12:15] <Nalleman> DOH, local
[12:15] <TTilus> Nalleman: it works better for me than fspot, picasa and lodju
[12:15] <pacal> after I log onto my computer there is a screen that is brown and says ubuntu, nautilus loads, other apps load and I want to what thtat screen is called so I can change the shit brown window ... anyone help?
[12:15] <DOH> gqview is great
[12:15] <DOH> it finds out dupes, easy interface
[12:15] <majorjrk> Great, allready a problem with ndiswrapper, loose connection, dhcp wont lease again, and have to reboot ;(
[12:15] <Nalleman> TTilus, ok. does it update the "database" automatically?
[12:15] <TTilus> Lappy: okay, it's not forced cache then, good for you  ;)
[12:16] <Amaranth> Nalleman: f-spot and picasa are the only 'photo management' tools I know of, the others are just photo viewers
[12:16] <TTilus> Nalleman: what you mean "update database"
[12:16] <Lappy> TTilus: yeah, thanks!
[12:16] <TTilus> Nalleman: kpa does not touch your photos, not at all
[12:16] <Jowi> pacal, you're looking for the splash screen
[12:16] <Jowi> !splash
[12:16] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[12:16] <kev_b> hi, anyone know how to list open TCP/IP ports on a local machines, preferably from console?
[12:16] <DOH> with gqview you can compare sets of pics and sort them out on similaritys
[12:16] <Nalleman> TTilus, if I for examle remove pictures or moves pictures. Does the program detect this?
[12:17] <TTilus> Nalleman: what do you want to do, manage, view, distribute photos or what?
[12:17] <DOH> kev_b: type netstat -tuna
[12:17] <Nalleman> TTilus, manage
[12:17] <Amaranth> Nalleman: Oh, so you don't want 'photo management' in the iPhoto or f-spot sense :)
[12:17] <TTilus> Nalleman: kpa survives from those
[12:18] <Nalleman> Amaranth, yes, but f-spot doesnt work well for my purposes and I dont like picasa
[12:18] <pacal> Jowi, thanks

[12:18] <TTilus> Nalleman: it calculates md5 hash of images in its database so it can detect them where ever you move them to (inside the "image tree") if you do not tamper with them
[12:18] <Nalleman> TTilus, ok, i will try
[12:18] <TTilus> Nalleman: kpa has quite steep curve, take your time
[12:19] <Nalleman> TTilus, ok. thanks for the tip :)
[12:19] <TTilus> Nalleman: and come to #kphotoalbum
[12:19] <Amaranth> TTilus: dude, so does nautilus :P
[12:19] <Amaranth> TTilus: that's nothing special :)
[12:19] <DOH> ok iam laeving now, nice to meet you people ;)
[12:19] <Amaranth> DOH: nice to meet you, hope you come back :)
[12:20] <tego> i Record for a stream, i get an error stating something like " error creating child process in the terminal, I remember it used to work in Edgy, Any ideas how to correct this
[12:20] <TTilus> Amaranth: not the way nautilus does, kpa has _huge_ dialogs with gazillion twingies on them  ;)
[12:21] <jaggy> can anyone tell me if its posible to get a linux version of acces ????????
[12:21] <TTilus> jaggy: no, but what you are up to?  there are quite a few db tools that can do the tings people use acces for
[12:22] <jaggy> TTilus its for school i need smthng that does the same as acces
[12:22] <jaggy> :(
[12:22] <TTilus> jaggy: and if you need to use acces databases while running linux, you may try running windows on virtual machine (qemu or alike)
[12:22] <TTilus> jaggy: open office has it
[12:22] <jaggy> TTilus  acces no it doesnt :s
[12:22] <nacer> hi
[12:23] <nacer> there is a know bug about sound and gutsy
[12:23] <arctanx> jaggy: If you're able to use mysql or postgres or something with your school stuff, then they will do the same job
[12:23] <nacer> ?
[12:23] <jaggy> hope so ty
[12:23] <Amaranth> jaggy: There are tools to work with access databases but they look like they're too advanced for me
[12:23] <TTilus> jaggy: well, you said "i need smthng that does the same as acces", and it does the same, but it surely aint access
[12:23] <Filthpig> question: I'm trying to modify the layout of the buttons in the window decoration in gnome, and I've entered gconf-editor - metacity - general - button_layout with both sudo and su,  but it tells me "The key is not writable", even as root
[12:23] <Filthpig> any idea how to make it writeable?
[12:23] <jaggy> Amaranth:  hmm kk
[12:24] <jaggy> TTilus  idk why i need it for i think just to read smthng :s
[12:24] <tego> back
[12:24] <jaggy> wb
[12:24] <Jowi> Filthpig, which key? if it is a schema, then you're out of luck.
[12:24] <TTilus> jaggy: open office db tool can even connnect to access databases
[12:25] <Filthpig> Jowi: It's a string
[12:25] <jaggy> TTilus: il search for it 1 sec
[12:25] <Jowi> Filthpig, what's its address?
[12:25] <Jowi> Filthpig, ...or location....
[12:25] <Filthpig> gconf-editor - metacity - general - button_layout you mean this?
[12:25] <TTilus> jaggy: do you need to _create_ something, like excercises or stuff or are you _reading_ databases or _connecting_ to db server?
[12:26] <jaggy> TTilus: i think we need to make stuf and read stuf ... not sure but i  think its like that
[12:26] <Filthpig> button_layout is menu:minimize,maximize,close, but i want it to be close,maximize,minimize:menu
[12:27] <LewisSharp> Where can I find packages sources url? I need to install a few programs that are not on default URL with atp-get..
[12:27] <LewisSharp> apt-get*
[12:27] <TTilus> jaggy: you might want to consult your instructor, maybe she'll know what tools are "compatible" to the course you are taking
[12:27] <Jowi> Filthpig, ok. that one ( apps/metacity/general/button_layout ) should definetley be editable. I can alter it.
[12:27] <Filthpig> I can't o0
[12:27] <bullgard4> What's the use of the Unix group 'src'? (I am not allowed to write to the /usr/src directory.)
[12:27] <wonton_> www.sourceforge.net
[12:28] <jaggy> TTilus: all my instructors are wintendo users i dont think they even knw the word linux ... =_=
[12:28] <jaggy> TTilus: gimme a sec im gonna search in my book
[12:28] <TTilus> jaggy: :(  so the only way to be sure is to run win on qemu
[12:28] <wonton_> more source http://directory.fsf.org/
[12:28] <Filthpig> I guess I did something with it last weekend, because I -could- alter it, then suddenly I couldn't
[12:28] <Jowi> Filthpig, not even if you rightclick and chose "edit key"?
[12:28] <TTilus> jaggy: you _could_ ask if you could use oobase?
[12:28] <WOLF>  !
[12:28] <Filthpig> Jowi: nope, it's all grayed out
[12:29] <WOLF> Hi!
[12:29] <TTilus> LewisSharp: apt-get source?
[12:30] <jaggy> TTilus: i have no idea :p i searcht trough my book we need to do and read and write acces :( :( :(
[12:30] <TTilus> LewisSharp: if you wanna compile packages yourself ... or what do ya really wanna do?
[12:30] <delta> any1 here?
[12:30] <kauer> jaggy: If the goal is to teach SQL, then postgresql will do the job very well. For simple SQL even MySQL will do the job. They can be administered with quite powerful tools, too. If what you want is a point-and-click fast path to a database with a flashy interface but no understanding of what's below that interface, then there is no Linux equivalent that I know of. So the answer is "it depends what the course will require of you".
[12:30] <Filthpig> LewisSharp: you mean adding repositories to the apt sources list?
[12:30] <LewisSharp> yep :)
[12:30] <delta> How do i connect to an other server? :/
[12:31] <Jowi> Filthpig, open a terminal. "chmod -R 600 /home/username/.gconf/"
[12:31] <tego> hit "Record" for a stream, i get an error stating something like " error creating child process in the terminal
[12:31] <TTilus> LewisSharp: how about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware
[12:31] <wonton_> Lewis, any package in particular?
[12:31] <jaggy> kauer: since its my first year whit comp lessons it will only be simple suf ...
[12:32] <TTilus> jaggy: kauer got the point, do you major information systems or something else?
[12:33] <Filthpig> LewisSharp: go to Applications - Add/Remove programs - Preferences - Third Party Software - "Add" and add the repo you want in
[12:33] <jaggy> TTilus: eh wht u mean ?
[12:33] <LewisSharp> Well I want to install Meld and LinNeighborhood but apt-get doesn't work 'package not found'
[12:33] <Jowi> Filthpig, the reason for chmod is that the .gconf directory probably has got the wrong permissions set...
[12:33] <enry> kauker ok i'm deleting my Home...all the program that i have installed over what will happen to them?
[12:34] <TTilus> jaggy: what are you studying?  if you are on IT field you are probably starting you db courses with SQL and then kauers advice is worth of taking, otherwise you gotta consult your instructor on what tools you might survive the courses
[12:34] <Filthpig> LewisSharp:  or add it with a text editor as sudo, ie. sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list, but if you're new to linux do it in the first way I described
[12:35] <enry>  i'm deleting my Home...all the program that i have installed over what will happen to them?
[12:35] <enry> !!!
[12:35] <jaggy> TTilus :p i think ur totaly wrong XD im 14 :p
[12:35] <LewisSharp> ok thanks Filthpig and I used the second way the first time I was on debian, but I had url to add to it then, which is why I was looking for a place to find URL directly :) I'll try the first way.
[12:35] <arctanx> enry: your applications are not installed in your home folder
[12:35] <TTilus> LewisSharp: ah, no compiling, meld is in universe, you gotta include universe to your repositories
[12:36] <arctanx> enry: and you should only delete /home/yourfolder, not the entire home folder
[12:36] <RichiH> are there any known issues with kopete on kubuntu feisty when using IRC? it goes to, and stays at, 100% CPU the second it receives a message
[12:36] <enry> yes!!
[12:36] <TTilus> LewisSharp: system -> mgmt -> sources
[12:36] <stefg> RichiH: #kubuntu
[12:36] <RichiH> oh, you make that distinction? /me heads over
[12:36] <enry> arctanx,  and for example my email accont, msn etc... will all be delete? right?
[12:37] <arctanx> enry: yup that info is stored in hidden files in your home folder usually
[12:37] <TTilus> LewisSharp: there check "community maintained ... (universe)"
[12:37] <TTilus> LewisSharp: then apt-get update
[12:38] <TTilus> LewisSharp: you might want to try aptitude (console) or synaptic (gui) for more interactive and informative package mgmt
[12:38] <stefg> enry: that's the concept .... have all your stuff in /home/$username , so you can restore or delete all your settings with this dir
[12:38] <jaggy> TTilus: so wht now ? isnt it posible to run a word cd in linux whit wine ?
[12:38] <thunder|> anyone know a way to open MS Office 2007 .docx files in linux. Googling give no solid answer.
[12:39] <jaggy> thunder| : open whit openoffice ... i think that should do the trick
[12:39] <TTilus> jaggy: yes, but i'd go with genuine win runnin in qemu, less hassle
[12:39] <nobba> thunder: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=386385
[12:39] <thunder|> jaggy; nope. its Office Open XML
[12:40] <thunder|> nobba; thanks
[12:40] <enry> stefg, can you repeat the command to change root password?
[12:40] <jaggy> TTilus: whts the aptitude code to get that ? aptitude install wht ?
[12:40] <TTilus> thunder|: there's afaik pretty much no way for now
[12:40] <stefg> enry: there is no root password in ubuntu by default
[12:40] <TTilus> jaggy: package is qemu
[12:41] <Jowi> thunder|, also here http://www.blogmanno.com/?q=node/64
[12:41] <enry> stefg, how to change sudo password at all
[12:41] <nobba> thunder: just read further into that thread, appears it works for some and not others, TTilus might be right
[12:41] <jaggy> TTilus: ty allot
[12:41] <TTilus> jaggy: you might want qemuctl too, nice gui for launching instances
[12:41] <thunder|> Thank you all
[12:41] <enry> i cannot sell with my name as sudo password
[12:42] <LewisSharp> ok thanks a lot :)
[12:42] <jaggy> TTilus: ty il test it if it wont work il tell ty :p
[12:42] <stefg> enry: you don't ... you add a user with admin privileges. So there is no /common/ administration password, but each admin-user uses his *own* password
[12:42] <Frogzoo> enry: sudo gedit /etc/shadow & remove the enry line
[12:42] <Frogzoo> enry: of course, once you do that, you'll be locked out of the machine...
[12:42] <kev_b> Is there anywhere I can still find breezy packages?
[12:42] <Frogzoo> enry: better to just change the enry passwd to something else 'passwd enry ###'
[12:42] <limejuic1> small doubt: how to reduce the font size of TTY0 ?
[12:42] <Frogzoo> kev_b: nope
[12:43] <limejuic1> i mean tty0
[12:43] <Frogzoo> limejuic1: /etc/default/console-setup
[12:43] <stefg> !root | enry
[12:43] <ubotu> enry: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[12:43] <TTilus> thunder|: hum, i might be just plain wrong ... there is a workaround, http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/05/how-to-open-office-2007-openxml-in-openofficeorg.html

[12:45] <Jowi> enry, here's what I did when I sold an old laptop: create a new user with the name of "general". add that user to the admin group. run "deluser myname --remove-home --remove-all-files". that should be it.
[12:45] <adi> i am newbie with ubuntu
[12:45] <kev_b> nobba: the mysql packages
[12:45] <wonton_> you sold your laptop to a general?
[12:46] <nobba> kev_b: they should be on the server edition of the breezy cd
[12:46] <TTilus> adi: just ask your questions

[12:48] <Menasim1> how can I create .deb packages?
[12:48] <TTilus> adi: if you have two separate boxes, another running win and another linux, then you share folder from win and connect to it from linux using samba
[12:48] <Menasim1> from scratch
[12:48] <kev_b> stefg: I have a server, which isnt mine, which I can't backup... so I a worried about doing an upgrade
[12:48] <Jowi> Menasim1, depends on your needs. "checkinstall" might be enough for you.
[12:49] <Jowi> !checkinstall | Menasim1
[12:49] <ubotu> Menasim1: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[12:49] <TTilus> adi: if you have win and lin on same box and switch between them on bootup then you can just mount your win hd when on linux
[12:49] <nobba> kev_b: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[12:49] <stefg> kev_b: you (or the owner of the server) should rather be worried about still running breezy....
[12:50] <Frogzoo> kev_b: do not try to upgrade without backing up your data first
[12:52] <nobba> kev_b: i believe the breezy server packages are on both live and install cd, since there was no dedicated server edition back then, you chose to install server from the boot menu of those cds
[12:52] <Menasim1> Jowi:I just want to put files in it without any make or configure
[12:52] <limejuic1> after editting /etc/default/console-setup do i need reboot? or some other command to update the looks

[12:54] <Lhademmor> Notice: The link to "Specs." on http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate is broken. It points to https://www-admin.ubuntu.com/aunchpad.net/ubuntu/+specs which must be some kind of mistake
[12:54] <kev_b> ok guys, is there a way for me to image the whole server remotely, because I don't think file backups are going to suffice, with a heavily configured server
[12:54] <Jowi> !packaging | Menasim1
[12:54] <ubotu> Menasim1: The packaging guide is at http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperResources - See also !backports

[01:04] <test__> no
[01:04] <nalpha> linux4me: there is 3 tables of course
[01:04] <stefg> monkeyBox: are you on Live CD now?
[01:05] <nobba> monkeyBox: is you harddrive set to first boot device in bios? also, did you install grub properly?
[01:05] <monkeyBox> stefg: no, on a different comp...
[01:05] <monkeyBox> nobba: I used the installer wizard
[01:05] <takamarou> CoasterMaster, are u there?
[01:06] <crimmy> >.>
[01:06] <stefg> monkeyBox: Can you boot up the Live CD on the broken box and hook it to the net? otherwise helping you over IRC might be difficult
[01:06] <monkeyBox> here's a little background:  My hard drive was 250GB,  and I re-sized the original partition so I could keep the existing OS.  So now I had a 75GB partition at the end of the disk.  When I installed ubuntu, I created another swap partition, and a / ext3 partition
[01:06] <monkeyBox> stefg, sure, I can actually switch back and forth. I have two boxes
[01:08] <stefg> monkeyBox: ah... you might simply have gone beyond the max sector count for your bios or grub. grub reads its menu.lst from the Linux partition, but can't access because it's beyond cylinder 1024, i guess
[01:08] <monkeyBox> ugh
[01:08] <crimmy> Okay. So I have a stupid question.
[01:08] <monkeyBox> stefg: how would I see if that's the case?
[01:08] <monkeyBox> and if so, how to fix?

[01:09] <nobba> __ele__: wget? but not sure on the "etiquette" of doing that
[01:10] <milanl> kanpachi: built-in gnome (ubuntu)
[01:10] <nobba> crimmy: tar xzvf *.tar.gz
[01:10] <SlimeyPete> crimmy: you extract the contents of them (they're archives, like ZIPs) - "tar -xvzf <filename.tar.gz>"
[01:10] <milanl> kanpachi: or do you mean a video-dvd
[01:10] <takamarou> mmmm, this cant be that hard.... how do i give a user adminstrative priveleges from recovery mode? anyone?
[01:10] <nobba> crimmy: or right click and select "extract here" . they are like .zip/.rar files
[01:10] <__ele__> nobba: is there no other way for example by using rsync or somethin similar?
[01:11] <monkeyBox> stefg: I don't see that option.. where would it be, approximately?
[01:11] <stefg> monkeyBox: what kind of computer is that?
[01:11] <crimmy> Play so after they're extracted what do you do? heh.
[01:11] <joseaa> Hello, is there anyway to hide the system tray icon ?
[01:12] <IIOOII> anyone know what pref\sessions\evolution alarm notifer is? is it related to evo calander
[01:12] <nobba> __ele__: yeah, have a look here http://www.howtoforge.com/mirroring_with_rsync
[01:12] <jrib> __ele__: do you want something like:
[01:12] <jrib> !apt-proxy > __ele__ (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:12] <nobba> crimmy: depends whats in them? what was the tar.gz you have?
[01:12] <crimmy> Sorry, guys. I just got ubuntu a week ago and I'm still trying to figure everything out.
[01:12] <monkeyBox> stefg: homebrew, intel board
[01:12] <nobba> !apt_proxy
[01:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about apt_proxy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:13] <nobba> !apt-proxy
[01:13] <ubotu> apt-proxy is a program that acts as a local apt repository server for a LAN, only fetching from the internet when required. To set it up see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy
[01:13] <Trist_an> Anyone would have time to help me finish a bash script. I think for someone who is quite familiar with bash it should be pretty quick
[01:13] <stefg> monkeyBox: which generation? P III, P4 ? how old is the mobo / bios approx. ?
[01:13] <monkeyBox> pretty new,  it's a core2 duo
[01:13] <IIOOII> HELP ---> what is evolution alram notifier in sessions menu
[01:14] <monkeyBox> stefg: probably less than a yr old
[01:14] <stefg> monkeyBox: so it has a SATA drive, right
[01:14] <__ele__> ubotu: that's exactly what i was looking for!!
[01:14] <kanpachi> hello, anyone knows how to rip audio from a dvd?
[01:14] <monkeyBox> stefg: yes
[01:14] <crimmy> lmule-1.2.1.tar.gz was the file I have, I'm essentially trying to download emule. heh.
[01:14] <IIOOII> geez 1000 ubuntu users noone knows?
[01:14] <__ele__> jrip: yea that was what i was looking for!!
[01:14] <IIOOII> 999
[01:14] <nobba> crimmy: so its a source package?
[01:14] <IIOOII> lol
[01:15] <monkeyBox> fwiw, I have to append "all-generic-ide" and "irqprobe" to the kernel line
[01:15] <milanl> IIOOII: sounds like the alarm notifier for evolution, maybe?
[01:15] <nobba> crimmy: why not just install amule from the repos  -  sudo apt-get install amule
[01:15] <IIOOII> its in your ubuntu too guys look
[01:15] <SlimeyPete> IIOOII: erm, that'll be the alarm system for evolution
[01:15] <IIOOII> calander related
[01:15] <monkeyBox> err, irqpoll I mean
[01:15] <IIOOII> ?
[01:15] <SlimeyPete> yes.
[01:15] <IIOOII> thnx
[01:16] <crimmy> haha, thank you! I didn't know you could download it from the repos.
[01:16] <stefg> monkeyBox: then the 1024 cylinder boundary shouldn't exist on that box... we're going to run a few commands on the Live CD, hopefully this will give a clue what's wriong
[01:16] <nobba> crimmy: hehe, no probs, its amazing what is in the repos,
[01:16] <kidbuntu> is there a way in gnumeric where you can change all words in a column having the same words
[01:16] <kidbuntu> is there a way in gnumeric where you can change all words in a column having the same words in a short steps
[01:16] <monkeyBox> stefg: alright, booting back into livecd
[01:17] <crimmy> nobba: really is, it's just difficult sometimes to figure out what the file name is.
[01:17] <nobba> crimmy: note, you will need universe and multiverse repos enabled
[01:17] <crimmy> Oh, I already do, that part was easy.
[01:17] <enry> sorrry last question : as to change the computer name??
[01:18] <rambo3> you mean hostnam
[01:18] <enry> yse
[01:18] <stefg> enry man hostname
[01:18] <enry> yes
[01:18] <bullgard4> Why does my kernel 2.6.20-generic load the 2 modules ata-piix (SCSI low-level driver for Intel PIIX/ICH ATA controllers) and ahci (Advanced Host Controller Interface SATA low-level driver) although I have only 1 HDD with an ATA-6 interface?
[01:18] <crimmy> Okay, thanks guys! It moves entirely too quickly in here for me to try and keep up. Bye.
[01:18] <rambo3> hostname hostname
[01:19] <monkeyBox> ugh, forgot have to boot in VESA mode :-p
[01:19] <stefg> bullgard4: libata ... scsi emulation
[01:20] <stefg> !libata
[01:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libata - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:20] <stefg> !uuid
[01:20] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[01:20] <bullgard4> stefg: Is this suppsed the answer to my question?
[01:20] <bullgard4> supposed
[01:20] <stefg> bullgard4: not an answer, but a hint where to look for the answer
[01:22] <monkeyBox> stefg: ok, I'm in the livecd
[01:22] <stefg> bullgard4: all hd's  in the ubuntu-kernel are now handled by the scsi subsystem, so you need the scsi-driver, and the libata driver to attach it to the host-controller
[01:23] <takamarou> hi, can somoene help me with setting up my wireless internet stuff? im all confused
[01:23] <stefg> monkeyBox: ok... can you paste the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' to !pastebin?
[01:23] <stefg> !pastebin | monkeyBox
[01:23] <ubotu> monkeyBox: 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)
[01:24] <bullgard4> stefg: Is ahci the libata driver or ata_piix?
[01:24] <tarntow> Anyone sometimes has sound problem where it just goes off?
[01:25] <mikl> Hmmm, I was tinkering with the smbldap script from majen.net to set up a Windows fileserver
[01:25] <Ar-Pharazon> Hi, would anyone around here know about fixing mucked up netbeans installations by any chance? I know this is ubuntu help, not netbeans help, but maybe if I ask really nice?
[01:25] <stefg> bullgard4: i guess ata_piix
[01:25] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: what's the problem?
[01:25] <mikl> but now I cannot log in on the linux box - i think it's because pam wants to use the ldap server as well...
[01:26] <Thokalin> Hello, does anyone have any clue on why on login my top panel does not appear?
[01:26] <monkeyBox> stefg: you gonna be around in 30min?  I have to run to work (this is actually my work comp that I'm installing on :-p)  I'll jump online as soon as I get there
[01:26] <takamarou> Ar-Pharazon, not a real problem, im just new to ubuntu and dont know my way around yet.  I know that its finding my wireless card, but i dont know where to connect
[01:26] <monkeyBox> (at least I can use the livecd to get work done while I'm fixing it :-p)
[01:26] <stefg> monkeyBox: can't guarantee that.. i've got work to do, too :-)
[01:27] <monkeyBox> :-(   ok,   I'll just hop on when I get here, and if you're here you're here.
[01:27] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: there should be an icon for it in the top left near your clock. Clicking on it should bring up a list of availabe networks.
[01:27] <monkeyBox> stefg: any clues as to what I should be looking for?
[01:27] <monkeyBox> I'm an ex-gentoo user so, I'm not a _total_ newbie :)
[01:27] <dthacker> hi how can I automagically set the shell to bash when I sudo sh?
[01:28] <monkeyBox> just haven't run into this situation b4
[01:28] <jrib> dthacker: don't sudo sh, instead use 'sudo -i'
[01:28] <takamarou> Ar-Pharazon, oh wait... i was wrong, its not finding my wireless card right now..    how do i go about fixing that then?
[01:28] <stefg> monkeyBox: either it's the cylinder issue, or it's the drive which changes it's drive number during boot (so grub gets confused)... you could try to d/l the super grub disk and see if this can fix it for you
[01:29] <dthacker> jrib: ah, that's nice.  Thanks!
[01:30] <monkeyBox> stefg, ok -- thanks :)
[01:30] <stefg> monkeyBox: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/
[01:30] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: Sorry, I'm not sure about that. Is it supported? Did you get anything regarding propriety drivers?
[01:31] <takamarou> well, "wireless" isnt showing up in my list of available connections, so right now its not finding it.  I know that ubuntu will work with this wireless card cause my brother has used the same card with his computer running ubuntu
[01:31] <Xtr3me> sal all
[01:31] <linux4me> hi guys, i don't think it is iptables as "sudo iptables -L" returns "policy accept" for chain input, chain forward, and chain output. none of them have info for target, prot, opt,source or destination.  I checked the command history and saw a line about "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" which is set to 1
[01:32] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: Is there a wireless on/off switch on the computer or something like that?
[01:32] <takamarou> no
[01:32] <linux4me> also nmap states the port 22 and 1723 are open for ssh and pptp
[01:33] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: hmm... Try System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager
[01:33] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: anything about wireless cards?
[01:34] <takamarou> ar-Pharazon "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers"
[01:35] <gnuskool> irc sorely needs a tab auto-complete for usernames, is there anything similiar?
[01:35] <Tomcat_> gnuskool: Most clients have it already.
[01:35] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: It's not that then. Did you try right clicking the networking icon?
[01:35] <gnuskool> Tomcat, im using a firefox addon chatzilla, dosent have it!
[01:36] <gnuskool> xchat?
[01:36] <takamarou> ar-pharazon, yeah u told me that already.. its not showing up there

[01:36] <Ar-Pharazon> aricz: Woah. I didn't even play that. =D
[01:36] <takamarou> ar-pharazon, well, i need to go.. thanks for all ur help
[01:37] <Ar-Pharazon> takamarou: I'm not sure then. sorry I couldn't help you

[01:51] <Pici> Carroarmato1: Same thing it uses for any other mounted devices.  umount.

[01:52] <Pici> Carroarmato1: Just like that.

[01:53] <Carroarmato1> Pici: ok thx! I needed to know that for my tutorial on the wiki of Amarok to sync Ipods with Rockbox on them ;)
[01:53] <kev_b> stefg: will those work on a mounted partition? would dd work?
[01:54] <turbo2> in one book (but i forgot in wich one:D ) i read, that u can install ubuntu in one folder and all other things in another folder...because easyer upgrading
[01:54] <kauer> takamarou: if you haven't already been told, you can give any user global admin (root) privileges by placing that user in the group "admin". It is a very, very, very unwise thing to do unless you trust that person completely, and if you DO trust that person completely it is not very, very, very unwise, just very unwise.

[01:55] <stefg> kev_b: creating a partition image from a running system with mounted partitions will pretty surely give a corrupt image. all the buffers are dirty and so is the fs. i'd rather look into into getting some rescue system installed on the remote box, which has an rsync server

[02:04] <kauer> Trist_an: Paste your scripts so far to the pastebin, and ask your question...
[02:04] <Carroarmato1> Pici: No, it's still the umount problem.... I tried umount and eject on the device.. but it says the device isn't in fstab.. although I can mount it and unmounte it without any problem by right clicking and pressing "eject" in the menu

[02:06] <Pici> Carroarmato1: I'm a little confused, maybe I missed your first question. Whats the scenario here and what are you trying to do?

[02:08] <Carroarmato1> Pici: I want to make Amarok use the eject command to unmount my Ipod automatically... hence I'm looking for the command. Note: This eject command shouldn't ask or need for root rights
[02:08] <gnuskool> Hydrate, you probably want xinerama, search for that on ubuntuforums.org
[02:08] <osiris_> gnuskool okay
[02:08] <Hydrate> ive tried it
[02:08] <Hydrate> it seems to only display with one monitor then
[02:09] <Trist_an> kauer, http://pastebin.com/m4d390394
[02:09] <gnuskool> Hydrate, dual head or 2 video cards?
[02:10] <Hydrate> dual head
[02:10] <osiris_> any one keeping track of the blue brain project
[02:10] <Pici> Carroarmato1: Ahh.. Try using gnome-umount
[02:11] <osiris_> its powered by linux servers and uses about 6,000 cpu's
[02:11] <Carroarmato1> Pici: thx!
[02:12] <Frogzoo> Carroarmato1: you miss the 'pre-connect command' in amarok settings?
[02:12] <osiris_> gnuskool do you know much about clustering
[02:12] <gnuskool> osiris, nah, soz
[02:13] <Carroarmato1> Frogzoo: No Amarok find the device without problem.. I just need the command for unmounting the device easily so you don't have to do it manually... I'm writing a guide in the wiki of Amarok to use a Rockbox enabled Ipod with Amarok. ^^
[02:14] <osiris_> any one know  about clustering

[02:27] <aguitel> gnuskool ,ok i am waiting for you
[02:27] <inc0> please?<:)
[02:27] <robbomx> tony_tomato: what do you mean, I'm a bit of a noob at Ubuntu..
[02:27] <osiris_> where is the apache httdocs folder located. i was a former windows user
[02:27] <aguitel> gnuskool ,i have sound in win but in ubuntu not
[02:28] <seamus_ie> is it possible to use a laptop as a second monitor over a network using vnc?

[02:29] <osiris_> ubntu_aatim: so if i dump my sites their i will be able to test them locally
[02:29] <ubntu_aatim> yup
[02:29] <stefg> monkeyBox: so that's fdisk -l output of the box in question?
[02:29] <monkeyBox> stefg: yeah
[02:30] <monkeyBox> stefg: just noticed there's no bootable flag
[02:30] <osiris_> ubntu_aatim: i dont mean to sound incompetent  but how do i call it from the browser
[02:31] <stefg> monkeyBox: i see... so you have a root and a /home partition? (grub needs no 'active' flag...that's DOS BS)
[02:31] <ubntu_aatim> http://localhost
[02:31] <monkeyBox> stefg: sda3 is not a /home partition,  it's just my gentoo backup
[02:31] <osiris_> ubntu_aatim: i know but that will only direct me to the apache default page

[02:32] <stefg> monkeyBox: first i'd get the partition table straight. The swap is marked sda1, but in reality it's in the middle.
[02:33] <kev_b> stefg: do you think 'dar' might do what I want to do? do you know how I can get the build-essentials package and sub-packages to install on breezy without apt-get? thanks btw
[02:33] <monkeyBox> stefg:  ok
[02:33] <monkeyBox> so I need to have my / partition first, right?
[02:33] <robbomx> And same with Amixer, alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[02:34] <aguitel> gnuskool ,i copy to pastebin for you
[02:34] <stefg> kev_b: to be honest i wouldn't try to backup or upgrade the box without physical access to the machine. That's just to risky. you never know if the network comes up again after a reboot
[02:34] <gcostello> when installing a new kernel with aptitude, does the machine automatically reboot?
[02:34] <robbomx> Okay, so i'm going to Outline what i have basically been saying in one whole Paragraph

[02:40] <SlimeyPete> erm, if it works for one user but not the other then it's not a hardware problem, sipior...
[02:40] <robbomx> Sipior, what does Pastebin mean?
[02:40] <robbomx> Sipior, i'm a noob @ this >.<
[02:40] <stefg> monkeyBox: hmmm.... shouldn't have mounted it. get a listing a agin and verify the new order. Then reboot the Live CD for good measure
[02:40] <SlimeyPete> robbomx: try a "sudo adduser <username> audio"
[02:40] <sipior> SlimeyPete: i missed that part in his description of the problem

[02:56] <sipior> robbomx: ah, try "sudo modprobe snd-ice1724"
[02:56] <sipior> i forgot they add the snd- prefix
[02:56] <HoNgOuRu> how can I set the project bar in using anjuta??? its gone...
[02:56] <stefg> monkeyBox: oh yes... right.  type 'root (hd0,0)' then 'setup (hd0)' then 'quit'
[02:57] <kbrooks> need some help
[02:57] <monkeyBox> stefg: ok, done
[02:57] <kbrooks> how do i cut down on used battery power?
[02:57] <stefg> monkeyBox: try if it did something by rebooting
[02:57] <HoNgOuRu> how can I set the project bar in using anjuta??? its gone...
[02:57] <monkeyBox> stefg: ok, BRB
[02:57] <robbomx> sipior, did come up with anything after inserting that
[02:57] <Pici> kbrooks: http://www.linuxpowertop.org/
[02:58] <floresc7> Is the Realtek 8139 network driver a module installed by default in Fiesty?
[02:58] <sipior> robbomx: did, or didn't?
[02:58] <robbomx> sipior, didnt
[02:58] <tobi-wan> kbrooks:  if your cpu supports speed-stepping, you can try using a battery-friendly governor
[02:59] <sipior> robbomx: and does sound work? also, have you unmuted channels with the mixer?
[02:59] <robbomx> nope
[03:00] <robbomx> well, just a sec
[03:00] <phaedra> floresc7,  I doubt it.  My 8150 wasn't.  I had to install it myself...
[03:01] <phaedra> floresc7,  See what ndiswrapper -l has to say...
[03:01] <robbomx> sipior, nope
[03:01] <floresc7> phaedra: i did a search for the driver on their website, they didnt have one for debian based
[03:01] <tbic> anyone no of anything like kredentials for gnome?
[03:02] <sipior> robbomx: and the master out is unmuted, and the speakers are on?
[03:02] <phaedra> floresc7,  Just use the xp drivers on the install disk.  Install then with ndiswrapper.
[03:02] <sipior> robbomx: also, is your account a member of the audio group?
[03:02] <mathrick> hi, I'm trying to install Gutsy on my CD-less X60, following https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html
[03:02] <phaedra> *them
[03:02] <sipior> robbomx: type "groups" and look for the string "audio"
[03:02] <Pici> !gutsy | mathrick
[03:02] <ubotu> mathrick: 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

[03:03] <LadyNikon> ha i read harry heroin
[03:03] <floresc7> phaedra: Ok, I'll do that although its a pain to do. I have done it once before for my wireless card
[03:03] <robbomx> Sipior, when i open volume control it comes up with No Volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found
[03:03] <nix4me> anyone know how to get identd running in ubunut?
[03:04] <renzo> robbomx: so you are using gstreamer? isnt that an alternative to alsa/oss
[03:04] <sipior> robbomx: and your account is a member of the audio group?
[03:04] <sipior> renzo: no
[03:04] <monkeyBox> stefg: no luck :-(   still no bootable disk
[03:04] <jneves> anyone has knows of a working dualhead for i915 (feisty)?
[03:04] <Faithful1> I have a Core2Duo notebook and when I run it both cores 100% ubuntu shuts it down because of temperature (I guess) what program is doing that?
[03:04] <Faithful1> Feisty
[03:04] <robbomx> sipior, Yeah
[03:04] <monkeyBox> stefg: you sure I don't need to toggle the bootable flag on that partition?
[03:04] <jneves> renzo: no, gstreamer is the multimedia layer of the gnome desktop
[03:04] <phaedra> floresc7,  It's not too painful now... ndiswrapper has gotten better.  i'm using a pcmcia card with rt8150 chipset and installed it just fine.
[03:05] <renzo> jneves: ahhhh i see, thanks
[03:05] <jneves> nix4me: install a identd daemon
[03:05] <sipior> robbomx: are any channels muted? pci?
[03:05] <floresc7> phaedra: good then, I'll give it a try
[03:05] <stefg> monkeyBox: so it's the Bios, swapping around devices. What message exactly do you get?
[03:05] <sipior> robbomx: pcm, rather...
[03:05] <gmenelau> hi
 i installed pidentd and its still not working
[03:05] <robbomx> how do i find out, using terminal
[03:05] <jneves> Faithful: is it shutting down or crashing?
[03:05] <gmenelau> i need some help
[03:06] <jneves> nix4me: is it running?
[03:06] <Pici> !ask
[03:06] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:06] <phaedra> floresc7,  Just remember to have ndiswrapper setup the config file...  ;)
[03:06] <jneves> Faithful1: is it shutting down or crashing?
[03:06] <monkeyBox> stefg, I'd have to reboot to see the message :-p
[03:06] <sipior> robbomx: try installing "alsa-tools" then invoke alsa-mixer from the command lnie
[03:06] <floresc7> phaedra: (and everyone else) Thank you for all your help! :)
 yes, i think so
[03:06] <monkeyBox> I'm pretty sure it was "no bootable device found"
[03:06] <jneves> nix4me: check
[03:07] <monkeyBox> "insert boot disk and press key when ready"
[03:07] <stefg> monkeyBox: you had three opportunities to take notes.... ok, so reboot with greetings from Dr. Alzheimer :-)
[03:07] <linux4me> where can i find some good documentation on ip forwarding for ubuntu fiesty?
[03:07] <nix4me> how do i check?
[03:07] <stefg> monkeyBox: although try teh super grub disk... might fix it for you
[03:07] <gmenelau> i can find my drivers for the wifi and it can find the network also , but i cant connect with the internet can you help me?
[03:08] <[GuS] > linux4me: in Google :)
[03:08] <robbomx> sepior, how can i install alsa-tools with Terminal
[03:09] <sipior> robbomx: sudo aptitude install "alsa-tools"
[03:09] <sipior> robbomx: sudo aptitude install alsa-tools
[03:09] <sipior> i seem to be inserting air-quotes in the terminal now...
[03:10] <Faithful1> jneves: it is shutting down... I am seeing plenty of hits on google about it... no answers yet.
[03:10] <kauer> Trist_an: gaim hung on me! reconnecting...
[03:11] <Trist_an> kauer, ok

[03:14] <sipior> robbomx: also, does "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start" return anything?
[03:14] <branstrom> The Gnome menus behave a little weird, if you click a menu so that it pops out (the Applications menu for instance), then move the mouse over the first submenu so that it activates, and _then_ move the mouse quickly down in a 45 degree angle, the second submenu won't activate until about a second later :(
[03:15] <ThatsMe> what should i do to config xorg?
[03:15] <ThatsMe> only have console in front ofme
[03:15] <robbomx> Sipior, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35782/plain/

[03:20] <sipior> robbomx: well, the correct driver is loaded, but it doesn't seem to have added the aprropriate device. Try adding the line "snd-ice1724" to the file /etc/modules, and then rebooting
[03:21] <robbomx> what is the command to add?
[03:21] <sipior> robbomx: you need to edit the file with gedit or the like. try "sudo gedit /etc/modules"

[03:23] <gmenelau> yes
[03:23] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  good, what kind of encryption?
[03:23] <gmenelau> tobi-wan , what is that ?
[03:23] <jrib> markvp: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9820 help?
[03:23] <sipior> bullgard4: why, what were you expecting?
[03:23] <kbrooks> i need some help quick. i want a network static ip.
[03:24] <wirelessmonkey> markvp, I think 32 or 36 ootb, but certainly scalable.
[03:24] <joje> what is glib2 for?
[03:24] <stefg> markvp: there's a specialized server kernel, i don't know the specs for it, but 8 should be no problem
[03:24] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  when configuring your wlan router, you (should have) configured something like wpa or wep ...
[03:24] <stefg> !info linux-image-server | markvp
[03:24] <ubotu> markvp: linux-image-server: Linux kernel image on Server Equipment.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.20.16.28.1 (feisty), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB

[03:24] <ctothej> I have a list of web pages that I would like to run through cupsprinttopdf automatically for printing and conversion to pdf. How can I script this or make this automatic to that it can take list of sites and print them?
[03:24] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  ok, which of those :-)
[03:24] <gmenelau> wpa
[03:25] <gmenelau> tobi-wan wpa
[03:25] <markvp> jrib, I read that earlier but at the end it Bhavani didn't sound to sure that it would support 32 processors.
[03:25] <cVsup> i would like to know if there is a package available to do ubuntu customization directly at the installation cd
[03:25] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  have you configured your wireless connection accordingly (so that it uses wpa, together with the correct passphrase)? sorry if this is a dumb question to ask you ;-)
[03:25] <bullgard4> sipior: I was expecting a header file. A header file includes some contents as far as I know: the headers af a C program.
[03:26] <markvp> stefg, thanks.  I'll give it a wack
[03:26] <gmenelau> tobi-wan yes i did
[03:26] <sipior> bullgard4: if you check out the main kernel repository, is that file empty as well?
[03:26] <gmenelau> it ok understand

[03:27] <pixelfairy> whats a good app to see sound levels from a mic?
[03:27] <robbomx> sipior, Nope
[03:27] <joje> what is glib2 for?

[03:28] <j0nas`> hey guys.  how do i remove the annoying kwallet password prompt that comes up every time i start kopete??
[03:28] <tucuna> is this it a hardware issue if the laptop speakers *do not* mute when headphone are plugged in - or how could you manually mute speakers without losing sound on line out?
[03:28] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  can you try executing "iwevent" as root and try to reconnect?
[03:28] <gmenelau> tobi-wan what is that ?
[03:28] <gnuskool> robbomx, did you try removing linux soundbase and reinstalling it?
[03:28] <monkeyBox> stefg: that was the exact error word for word
[03:28] <sipior> robbomx: well, if the module's loaded, the channels are all unmuted, you're a member of the audio group, and the speakers are turned on...i'm out of ideas for you
[03:28] <robbomx> gnuskool, how i do that
[03:28] <TataraKutere> hey everyone
[03:28] <gmenelau> tobi-wan i dont know much about linux i was in windows i just move to linux
[03:28] <Deathminder> hi everone
[03:28] <pixelfairy> tucana, i want to see if the mic works, the speakers are fine
[03:29] <bullgard4> sipior: I do not have to do that, I believe. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild: "You merely need to compile a special driver. For this, you only need to install the linux-headers packages."
[03:29] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  if i am right, this tool should show you what happens when you try to connect (i cannot try it myself, since i am on my wireless connection here *g*)
[03:29] <gnuskool> robbomx, sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
[03:29] <nephish> gmenelau: welcome aboard
[03:29] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  just enter "sudo iwevent"
[03:29] <TataraKutere> i want to know if my system crash or not when i uninstall all fglrx drivers?
[03:29] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  yeah, welcome ;-)
[03:29] <Deathminder> can someone help me with wine ? i wanted to install steam
[03:29] <SmoothOp> http://slickdeals.net/?permadeal=10168#direct_deal_10168
[03:29] <stefg> monkeyBox: hmmm.... so the bios does not even see the harddisk... this seems no grub problem, but some bios setting. did the bios recognize the disk at all, when you're in the the settings menu? any 'antivirus' boot sector protection activated?
[03:29] <SmoothOp> Deathminder, do oyu have an ati video card?
[03:29] <sipior> bullgard4: my question was a fancy way of asking: "why do you care?" and, more importantly, "why is this interesting on an ubuntu support channel?"
[03:30] <gnuskool> robbomx, then put em back  sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
[03:30] <gmenelau> tobi-wan what is sudo iwevent
[03:30] <Pici> !spam | SmoothOp
[03:30] <ubotu> SmoothOp: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense :-)
[03:30] <warbler> !wine
[03:30] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:30] <TataraKutere> i want to know if my system crash or not when i uninstall all fglrx drivers?
[03:30] <monkeyBox> stefg: yeah, it recognizes the disk. It shows the model.  I didn't see any antivirus settings in there.
[03:30] <gmenelau> nephish good to be here
[03:30] <monkeyBox> stefg: you sure I don't need to be setting the bootable flag in fdisk?
[03:31] <robbomx> gnuskool, im re-installing now
[03:31] <bullgard4> sipior: I'd appreciate exact answers and not fancy men.
[03:31] <stefg> monkeyBox: won't hurt.... i know grub doesn't need it, but maybe the bios
[03:31] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  these are administration commandos that you can use on the commandline (e.g. a terminal like gnome-terminal)
[03:31] <SmoothOp> pici, it was a good deal on pants, i figured you could use somne
[03:31] <sipior> bullgard4: perhaps you should pester the kernel developers then, or consult the main kernel tree
[03:31] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  "sudo" allows you to run commands as the administration user "root"
[03:31] <gmenelau> tobi-wan can you help me do it step by step ?
[03:31] <gnuskool> robbomx, in te meantime do you use gnome or kde?
[03:31] <profanephobia> Deathminder, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1554 (this should help)
[03:32] <robbomx> gnome. i think
[03:32] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  i will try my best. just open a terminal, first ;-)
[03:32] <stefg> monkeyBox: while you are at it type 'lspci' and check what chipset this is
[03:32] <SmoothOp> deathminder, do you have an ati video card?
[03:32] <Pici> SmoothOp: pants are overrated.
[03:32] <gmenelau> tobi-wan how?
[03:32] <robbomx> gnuskool, done
[03:32] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  if you are using gnome, there should be an item "terminal" or somesuch in the application menu
[03:32] <praet> !terminal | gmenelau
[03:32] <ubotu> gmenelau: 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

[03:34] <Trae> Faithful, heh
[03:34] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  ok, then follow the hint that was given above for gnome (applications -> accessories -> terminal)
[03:34] <Faithful1> Trae: i need sympathy quick...
[03:34] <gmenelau> tobi-wan ok i find it

[03:34] <Trae> Faithful, who are you?
[03:34] <Faithful1> Trae: I got the shutting down notebook drama
[03:35] <gmenelau> tobi-wan then ?
[03:35] <Trae> Faithful, ahhh lol
[03:35] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  then enter "sudo iwconfig" first and tell me what it says (but use a pastebin, please)
[03:35] <Trae> Faithful, yeah, welcome to yesteryear
[03:35] <Trae> Faithful, :)
[03:35] <Faithful1> Trae: you are beeping the PC in the other room.

[03:35] <Faithful1> Trae: you know the answer...

[03:35] <gnuskool> robbomx,then reboot, if you get a text login type that in and type startx
[03:35] <Nullox> Guys I have a  Trendnet tew 242UB and I was wondering if it's compatible with Ubuntu
[03:36] <robbomx> gnuskool, ive copied it and saved on desktop
[03:36] <Trae> Faithful1, anyway no I don't know the answer,  I never got my problem fixed.  Sadly, I think once it starts happening, it never stops.  My laptop has been unusable.
[03:36] <robbomx> gnuskool, what u mean by text login type that in and type startx
[03:36] <gi2k15> Hey guys, I got a new HD, but I don't know exactly how to partition it. Do I have to create another primary partiton or just extended?
[03:36] <Trae> Faithful1, sorry gotta get back to work, GL!
[03:36] <gnuskool> robbomx,you may not have a desktop so you wont be able to see it, write it on paper
[03:36] <Faithful1> Trae: Ok thanks...

[03:37] <robbomx> gnuskool,  copy down sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop?
[03:37] <robbomx> gnuskool, why wont i have a desktop
[03:37] <gmenelau> do i need to close it and try to connect with the wlan and the type the commants?
[03:37] <Nullox> Guys I have a  Trendnet tew 242UB and I was wondering if it's compatible with Ubuntu.
[03:37] <tobi-wan> gmenelau:  ok, fine. what does "sudo iwconfig" tell you? (please use paste.ubuntu-nl.org and give me the url)
[03:37] <gnuskool> robbomx,doing this may remove your graphical screen with a mouse n so on, what you may have instead is a text login, that has no mouse etc, so you'll have to login, then type that in, then type startx, this is all in a terminal btw
[03:38] <paulcooperorama> how do I introduce the ubuntu machine to a windows netowrk

[03:40] <CyberShoe> Morning. I'm having a problem where the top panel of gnome-panel consistently fails to display after booting. Killing gnome-panel causes it to reload successfully, as does logging out and back in again. Other startup programs may sporadically fail to launch, or fail to dock properly in the notification area, but I haven't been able to discern a pattern. Ideas?

[04:07] <Rocky44> I've tried changing my LBA mode in BIOS, but some security option which I can't find is locking it down

[04:10] <Rocky44> I need help fixing something.  When I boot up my computer, I get Grub error 18
[04:11] <GIn> if you have new idea for Ubuntu, where do you post it to include in the next release?
[04:11] <Rocky44> and I'm not sure how to fix it
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: google Grub Error 18

[04:11] <timmeke> you right
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> paulcooperorama: don't know.
[04:12] <Rocky44> IndyGunFreak: I have.  When I go to edit my BIOS to change the LBA mode on my hdd, it's greyed out, and I can't change it
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[04:12] <paulcooperorama> indy -- thanx
[04:12] <Rocky44> so I need to find another way to fix it, or find the security setting
[04:12] <timmeke> try again and reboot
[04:12] <Rocky44> that's making that
[04:12] <siskel> Rocky44, are you dualbooting with xp?
[04:12] <Rocky44> happen
[04:12] <Rocky44> yeah
[04:12] <GIn> !wine
[04:12] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:12] <kslawson> and when i installed fwcutter it just keeps erroring about not being the correct version, but at odd times, like it's a background script.  not being in front of my ubuntu test lappy i can't elaborate
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> i've not had an issue dual booting w/ XP.
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: whats your setup, how is Ubuntu installed(on same drive as windows, 2 different drives, etc..)
[04:13] <Rocky44> 2 different drives
[04:13] <Rocky44> it's on my slave drive
[04:13] <Rocky44> my BIOS is from 2004
[04:13] <Rocky44> if that matters
[04:13] <paulcooperorama> hows this
[04:13] <Rocky44> it probably does
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: probably not... my laptop is quite a bit older than that.. and its fine
[04:13] <etale> hi all -- I'm having a strange problem with vlc... an avi will play, but no video... however when i move the window, the video shows for the split seconds when i pick up and put down... also i can manage to 'trick' the window into playing by switching desktops back and forth
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: have you tried setting the slave drive to boot first?
[04:13] <etale> but any clicking or popup makes screen go black
[04:14] <Rocky44> how do I do that?
[04:14] <IndyGunFreak> in the bios, change the boot order.
[04:14] <Kousotu> IndyGunFreak: my grandmoter's pc is from 2001
[04:14] <Kousotu> lol
[04:14] <etale> and also there are black lines and boxed across the video
[04:14] <etale> any helps?
[04:14] <IndyGunFreak> Kousotu: lol, thats about the era of m laptop, maybe 2002
[04:14] <Rocky44> can you just walk me through that, so I don't have to check back after I reboot?
[04:14] <profanephobia> how can i get my built-in 6 in one card reader to be reconized
[04:14] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: i don't know your bios, you'll have to figure it out on your own
[04:15] <jeffferrari> etale: are you using compiz/beryl?
[04:15] <Rocky44> okay.
[04:15] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: all i'm saying, is go to your bios, and change the boot sequence, to 1. CD/DVD drive, 2.  Slavedrive(with ubuntu) 3. Master drive(with windows)
[04:15] <etale> jeffferrari not at the moment
[04:15] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: if that doesn't work, come back.
[04:15] <Rocky44> okay, I'll see if I can do that
[04:15] <etale> and in mplayer the screen is all blue with the same symptoms
[04:16] <jeffferrari> etale: thats exactly what happens when I try stuff like that with compiz-fusion on
[04:16] <renzo> etale: is that in all video players and all codec formats?
[04:16] <Rocky44> is there anything else I should try, if that doesn't work?
[04:16] <DarkRaven> Hi, anyone know of a package that convert from mp3 to rm in a batch mode that runs under Ubuntu?
[04:16] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: probably, but try that first, because its easiest
[04:16] <kaneda> i have an issue
[04:16] <Rocky44> okay
[04:16] <Kousotu> anyone got a realtek HD sound card?
[04:16] <renzo> kaneda: tell us
[04:16] <IndyGunFreak> kaneda: open up a news stand and sell those issues.
[04:16] <Pc_Dark> what's my root passwd (SU)
[04:16] <renzo> Kousutu: yes, i have the 8187
[04:16] <Pc_Dark> I just made a clean install.
[04:17] <IndyGunFreak> !root | Pc_Dark
[04:17] <ubotu> Pc_Dark: 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
[04:17] <Pc_Dark> Is it possible for me to create a root account?
[04:17] <kaneda> ok i was running update manager for some new updates and it gave me an error about double repos
[04:17] <renzo> lol, amusing root explanation
[04:17] <IndyGunFreak> Pc_Dark: yes, but its incredibly dumb
[04:18] <profanephobia> how can i get my built-in 6 in one card reader to be recognized
[04:18] <kaneda> IndyGunFreak: your a funny person
[04:18] <renzo> kaneda: have you checked your sources.list to make you havent got the same ones listed twice?
[04:18] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu uses sudo for a reason.. to protect users from themselves
[04:18] <IndyGunFreak> kaneda: i strive.
[04:18] <warbler> Pc_Dark: the user you set up at install has admin rights to set roots password in - users-groups
[04:18] <kaneda> i shouldnt but i will check right now
[04:18] <kbrooks> CAN SOMEONE HELP ME

[04:19] <etale> but if i do open with command "mplayer"
[04:19] <etale> then things play
[04:19] <renzo> Kousutu: not initially no, i had to compile the latest alsa from source, i'll get you the link to my guide

[04:25] <GIn> :S Ubuntu takes a lot of time to  extract a 300mb rar file :S
[04:25] <IndyGunFreak> gusty231: looks like you need to put that driver you downloaed, inside of cups.
[04:26] <soldier> ok so after editing the source list i tried updating it with the command sudo apt-get update
[04:26] <soldier>  but the update never finishes
[04:26] <IndyGunFreak> soldier: server might be down.. or you didn't add the repository correctly

[04:27] <Rocky44> IndyGunFreak: it didn't work, unfortunately

[04:31] <scipio> tarelerulz, i didn't fiddle with individual setthings. i'm using only the global ones
[04:32] <Rocky44> how do I move /boot to the front?

[04:32] <Rocky44> do I reinstall it?
[04:32] <Rocky44> it meaning ubuntu?
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: that, i'm not really sure.
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: first and foremost, before we go further, do you have a good back up of your important stuff?

[04:33] <IndyGunFreak> yes
[04:33] <siskel> gcostello, thanks! (usr/lib/opera)
[04:33] <Rocky44> the only thing I don't want to lose is windows

[04:33] <martin_> hi everyone, basically quod libet is crashing on startup, doesn't print out any interesting error messages but i'm guessing the media library is corrupted, can anyone tell me how i can completely remove it including the database and reinstall? apt-get remove seems to skip the media library
[04:33] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: well, its a slim possibility, but it is possible in screwing around, you can wreck a windows install.. you really shouldn't even attempt to install inux, unless you have a good back up of your current os.

[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> but iw ould stress.. BACK UP
[04:35] <Rocky44> will do

[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: do you see gnomebaker in that list?
[04:37] <warbler> ord: I find synaptic more complete
[04:37] <SlimeyPete> ord: same thing, just a different interface. Synaptic is less user-friendl but better when you know what you're doing.
[04:37] <Rocky44> wait, what?  explain that to me ( warbler).  what do you mean by that?
[04:37] <monkeyBox> What's the package name for the firefox flash plugin?
[04:37] <chad> siskel, what should i do with winecfg ?
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> loading ubuntu first is a ridiculous suggestion
[04:37] <MuchosGrin> flashplugin-nonfree
[04:37] <siskel> chad, run this command from the terminal
[04:38] <renzo> kaneda: no sorry, what was it?
[04:38] <monkeyBox> oh, I see it in the Add/Remove tool
[04:38] <GNine> martin_  is in danger with no help    lol
[04:38] <ord> ok thanx slimeypete
[04:38] <Juhaz> GNine, because...?
[04:38] <GNine> obviously you dont know that such command can do
[04:38] <warbler> Rocky44: unless windows is on the disk already - & you don't want to remove it - then if you install ubuntu, / will be first
[04:38] <chad> siskel, ok, what should i set in there?
[04:38] <siskel> chad, im no wine expert, but i believe you need to run this command first before you use wine. it configures wine
[04:39] <siskel> chad, i think you can keep the defaults...
[04:39] <kaneda> renzo: im sending you a pm
[04:39] <Rocky44> warbler: that's it.  I already have windows and don't want to remove it.
[04:39] <GNine> or
[04:39] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: even then, when he reinstalls Widows, its gonna overwrite the MBR, so he'll have grub issues then.
[04:39] <monkeyBox> ok, but for some reason the add/remove program won't let me install anything.  I can't check the boxes
[04:39] <warbler> k
[04:39] <Rocky44> but in the manual installation, I think there's a way to put a /boot parition under 8GB
[04:39] <Rocky44> I just have no real idea how to do that
[04:40] <renzo> kaneda: i'm not getting anything if you have
[04:40] <warbler> IndyGunFreak: but grub can be reinstalled & updated
[04:40] <kaneda> odd
[04:40] <kaneda> renzo: pm me
[04:40] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: of course it can, but if he's gonna have to reinstall it, why not just reinstall it now, rather than wrecking his whole system, and reinstalling grub after the fact, is hrdly perfect
[04:41] <renzo> kaneda: i tried but its not working because i'm not a registered user.
[04:41] <warbler> rocky44: why the need for / to be first?- works ok whereever it is
[04:41] <kaneda> ahh ok
[04:41] <Rocky44> okay.  I'm just not sure how to put a /boot parition in
[04:41] <kaneda> actually im not either
[04:41] <renzo> lol
[04:41] <warbler> ok
[04:42] <wd1> how do you prevent /tmp file ownership being changed at boot time? every reboot i am seeing everything from /tmp downwards changed to root:root
[04:42] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: i've talked a lot of people through installing/dual booting linux and windows, and everytime i installed windows first, it went off w/o a hitch, the 1 time one insisted on installing ubuntu first, was a complete pain
[04:42] <warbler> Rocky44: say a site on that - one min
[04:42] <Juhaz> GNine, it removes the directory you ask it to remove, without asking. that's all
[04:42] <warbler> *saw
[04:43] <GNine> exactly.. so why do you advice to use such command to someone wanting to do partitioning work
[04:43] <ikaruga> hi guys
[04:43] <Pici> !away > Ballena|away
[04:43] <ikaruga> i'm trying to compile a program... I installed qt3 but it's telling me that the qt3 headers are not found
[04:43] <ikaruga> these are the packages I installed:
[04:43] <ikaruga> libqt3-mt-dev, libqt3-headers
[04:44] <ikaruga> and qt3-dev-tools
[04:44] <soldier> i have ntfs 3g downloaded. how do i install it?
[04:44] <milanl> soldier: via the repos?
[04:44] <warbler> just saw a site for creating new boot partition - said start fdisk - follow instructions :)
[04:44] <gcostello> ikaruga: libqt3-headers
[04:44] <IndyGunFreak> soldier: where did you download it, its in the repos?
[04:44] <kev_b> can anyone tell me why a machine might keep losing its DNS servers? If I put DNS servers into /etc/resolv.conf they are gone (empty file) after reboot
[04:44] <soldier> whats the repos
[04:44] <Juhaz> GNine, I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about, martin_ did not ask anything about partitioning.
[04:44] <novato_br> how can I play one wavefile screen login of ubuntu ?
[04:44] <IndyGunFreak> soldier: delete the file you downloaded
[04:45] <milanl> !repos | soldier
[04:45] <ubotu> soldier: 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
[04:45] <renzo> soldier: open up a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config". this will download and install ntfs-3g and then automatically mount your ntfs partitions with read write access
[04:45] <warbler> 2 sites!
[04:45] <ikaruga> gcostello: i also have that already installed
[04:45] <IndyGunFreak> soldier: i thought you said you tried the link i gave you earlier?.. it gave pretty clear instructions.
[04:45] <monkeyBox> Is there any reason why I wouldn't be able add/remove applications?  I can't check any of the boxes
[04:45] <ikaruga> gcostello: i can compile scribus which uses qt3 just fine
[04:45] <gcostello> ikaruga: sorry, what is the error message exactly?
[04:45] <monkeyBox> oh, the box is greyed out
[04:45] <ikaruga> gcostello: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.1) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
[04:46] <monkeyBox> wtf?  I can't install flash b/c I have amd64?
[04:46] <GNine> still .. issuing that command is highly critical .. whatever.. done with it
[04:46] <jrib> !flash > monkeyBox (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:46] <IndyGunFreak> monkeyBox: well, you can, its just a pain in the rump
[04:46] <IndyGunFreak> monkeyBox: you apparently didn't research the issues w/ 64bit
[04:46] <GNine> martin_ has already met his maker
[04:47] <Juhaz> yes, presumably his music player works again now that the corrupted settings have been deleted
[04:47] <gcostello> ikaruga: you may need to pass the location to the configure script
[04:47] <Juhaz> which is what he did ask about.
[04:47] <monkeyBox> IndyGunFreak, I didn't think I had to...  No one and nothing told me "You should research the issues w/ 64 bit before using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu"
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> monkeyBox: well, now you know..
[04:47] <kev_b> can anyone tell me why a machine might keep losing its DNS servers? If I put DNS servers into /etc/resolv.conf they are gone (empty file) after reboot
[04:48] <monkeyBox> IndyGunFreak, what other issues do I have to look forward to?
[04:48] <soldier> Indygunfreak:  those were pretty clear instructions but the server was done and therefore i coudlnt update the source list
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> monkeyBox: well, personally, i would download and burn the 32bit ISO, and use it.
[04:48] <kaneda> renzo: brb
[04:48] <jrib> monkeyBox: no sun java plugin for your browser
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> soldier: my point is, ntfs-3g, is int he ubuntu-universal repo, so you shouldn't need to add any repo.
[04:49] <brainiac8008> hi.  i just got an hp computer with a 300 gb hard drive, on which is vista and a recovery partition.  When 7.10 comes out, i want to have an ubuntu ext3 partition, a swap partition, and a /home partition too.  how much space do you think i should allocate for my ubuntu ext3 partition, swap partition (I have 2 GB ram), and my /home partition if i allocate let's say 100 gb for vista?
[04:49] <IndyGunFreak> soldier: unless you're using some foriegn repo...
[04:49] <gcostello> ikaruga: what are you trying to compile?
[04:49] <Rocky44> warbler: what were the sites you saw?
[04:49] <aalib> hello
[04:49] <soldier> renzo: after typing udo apt-get install ntfs-config i get this in return E: Couldn't find package ntfs-config
[04:49] <aalib> how do i use curl
[04:49] <ikaruga> gcostello: Brahms - music notation program
[04:49] <spinz8r> !hamachi
[04:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hamachi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:49] <monkeyBox> jrib, IndyGunFreak, ok, so are the only real issues going to be w/ firefox plugins? b/c if all I need to do is install the 32-bit firefox then I should be ok, right?
[04:49] <renzo> soldier: make sure you have universe and multiverse repos enabled. what version ubuntu you using?
[04:49] <ikaruga> gcostello: i just tried giving it the location of what i think are the qt3 headers
[04:50] <IndyGunFreak> monkeyBox: maybe
[04:50] <ikaruga> gcostello: let's see what happens
[04:50] <Flint> hi all, just wondering. Does it matter if i delete some stuff in my /var/cache folder? saw alot of stuff piling up in there
[04:50] <aalib> i cant install  curl?
[04:50] <jrib> monkeyBox: you need winehq repos for wine, blender 64bit version in the repos is buggy... no w32codecs... that's all that comes to mind
[04:50] <ikaruga> gcostello: hey, the configure passed... hopefully it'll compile
[04:50] <Rocky44> IndyGunFreak: I'm setting the partitions now.  how should I set /boot as a seperate one under 8GB?
[04:50] <jrib> !info curl | aalib
[04:50] <ubotu> aalib: curl: Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or GOPHER server. In component main, is optional. Version 7.15.5-1ubuntu2.1 (feisty), package size 159 kB, installed size 256 kB
[04:51] <monkeyBox> ugh
[04:51] <gcostello> ikaruga: I've only ever compiled tora, but these are the relevant flags I used: --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt3 -with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3
[04:51] <ikaruga> gcostello: nope
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: are you reinstalling?
[04:51] <aalib> jrib,
[04:51] <Rocky44> yes.
[04:51] <aalib> sp wat dp o dp
[04:51] <soldier> k im gonna do some reading on repos cuz i have no idea what they are
[04:51] <jrib> aalib: huh?
[04:51] <ikaruga> gcostello: by "nope" i meant it didn't compile
[04:51] <kaneda> hey all
[04:51] <aalib> jrib, ? where do i get the curl
[04:51] <jrib> !software > aalib (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:52] <ikaruga> gcostello: it's telling me something about aclocal and automake
[04:52] <jrib> aalib: use your favorite package manager.  curl is in the main ubuntu repository
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: ok... personally, here's how my setup is... and i dual boot fine... swap, 2.90gb, the rest is /
[04:52] <gcostello> ikaruga: same error message?
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: i don't make separate partitions for /boot /home, etc..
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> i find it a bit silly
[04:52] <Rocky44> that would actually make sense
[04:52] <warbler> Rocky44: gparted in the installer will let you set the first new partition as /boot
[04:52] <Rocky44> as my swap partition is just over 8GB
[04:52] <Rocky44> so I'll set that, and reinstall
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: thats way way to big.
[04:52] <Rocky44> and see how that works out
[04:52] <Rocky44> probably
[04:53] <Tilllinux> If I want to log onto a win2k3 server domain with an ubuntu server (with the loginscreen, not afterwards through the smb-network), is pam_smb the tool I should use?
[04:53] <gcostello> ikaruga: sudo apt-get install automake
[04:53] <Rocky44> I'll set it to 3GB
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: swap should be 1.5x-2x size of your memory..
[04:53] <warbler> swap + memory
[04:53] <warbler> swap = memory
[04:53] <mcinq> I have a dell optiplex 2.0 Ghz, I just installed 7.04. I have a problem with video resolution. I only get 640 X 480 as an option? How do I get more available in Screen Resolution Preferences?
[04:53] <Rocky44> wait, RAM? or hdd memory?
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: RAM
[04:53] <warbler> ram
[04:53] <Rocky44> oh
[04:53] <Rocky44> so I should have about 4.5GB?
[04:53] <Rocky44> as I have 1.5GB of RAM
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: then i would set swap as about 2.5-3gigs
[04:53] <Rocky44> okay
[04:54] <Rocky44> thank you for your help so far
[04:54] <jrib> !fixres > mcinq (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:54] <Rocky44> I'm not sure what I'd do without all this help
[04:54] <Rocky44> thanks
[04:54] <warbler> with 1gb ram 1gb swap - any more is wasted - even with 1.5gb ram
[04:54] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: yeah, i've just always heard 1.5-2x.. been told that since i first tried linux several years ago.
[04:55] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: hold on a sec...
[04:55] <Chousuke> if you have a laptop, the minimum amount of swap is the amount of RAM I think
[04:55] <IndyGunFreak> i just thought of something
[04:55] <Chousuke> for suspend
[04:55] <diablos_raven> renzo: you still here
[04:55] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: why are you even partitioning the drive?
[04:55] <warbler> IndyGunFreak: set a cpu monitor to watch swap - never used - was for low memory years ago
[04:56] <Chousuke> otherwise, it largely depends on what you need to do with the machine.
[04:56] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: i know, but when you install, you get complaints if you don't set one up, so i just do... 2gigs out of 250, isn't gonna kill me..lol
[04:56] <Kousotu> Chousuke: swap is usually ram + 64
[04:56] <warbler> :)
[04:56] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: are you there?
[04:56] <Kousotu> I have 512 with a 576mb swap
[04:57] <Chousuke> Kousotu: Except on server machines, where you want loads of swap :)
[04:57] <Kousotu> Chousuke: good point
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> if he's got 2 separate drives, 1 for linux, one for windows he doen't even need to partition the second drive, just in the install option, set linux to use the "whole drive", and it will automagically set the swap and /
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: ?
[04:57] <warbler> I have 1gb ram with 1gb swap - swap is never used - but is required to be there in case
[04:58] <jeffferrari> anyone ever tried running intel OS X apps in some type of virtual machine under linux?
[04:58] <IndyGunFreak> i bet that was his issue.
[04:58] <faileas> jeffferrari: OS X PPC or OS X X86?
[04:59] <warbler> swap is hard drive - so slow compared to ram
[04:59] <soldier> renzo: im using the bootable cd of ubunto 7.04
[04:59] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: no, the swap isn't his issue.
[04:59] <IndyGunFreak> i dont think.. i think he partitioned the drive wrong, when he should have just let Linux takeover that drive.
[05:00] <gcostello> ikaruga: is it compiling now?
[05:00] <TooEarly>  how do i get my svideo output to work for an ATI Radeon 9200
[05:00] <warbler> IndyGunFreak: I thought it was the size of his hard drive causing conflicts
[05:00] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: was it?
[05:00] <warbler> ?
[05:00] <jeffferrari> faileas: X86
[05:00] <IndyGunFreak> he probably set the bootflags wrong... from what he just said a minute ago.
[05:00] <faileas> no then ;)
[05:00] <warbler> k
[05:00] <renzo> daiblos_raven: i did get it but i cant reply, though my nick was reg'd but obviously not
[05:00] <ManaPirat> hi
[05:00] <jeffferrari> faileas: actually, either :)
[05:01] <IndyGunFreak> Rocky44: where di dyou go?
[05:01] <jeffferrari> faileas: what do you use for PPC?
[05:01] <faileas> jeffferrari: pearpc would work up 10.3 . 10.4 is tricky but if you look hard enough there's preinstalled images floating on the net
[05:01] <warbler> IndyGunFreak: must be on two boxes
[05:01] <arghh2D2> Scofield, Medeski, Martin and Wood?
[05:02] <renzo> soldier: you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list to enable universe and multiverse (remove the # from the lines which go - # deb http://blah.etc.etc
[05:02] <IndyGunFreak> warbler: no, i think he's just not paying attention..lol
[05:02] <diablos_raven> renzo: you still here
[05:02] <warbler> :)
[05:02] <renzo> diablos_raven: indeed, see above
[05:02] <renzo> i got yours but i couldnt send
[05:02] <diablos_raven> really and you reg'd

[05:03] <IndyGunFreak> noam_: probalby not very horrible.
[05:03] <jeffferrari> faileas: ta... I'll start looking - whats the difficulty with tiger?
[05:03] <IndyGunFreak> noam_: try this...
[05:03] <noam_> why not? i thought it would blow the package manager up
[05:03] <IndyGunFreak> noam_: open a terminal, sudo apt-get build-dep rosegarden(or whatever the package name is)....
[05:04] <faileas> jeffferrari: you will need to use 10.3 to bootstrap the install. pearpc.net has a howto

[05:07] <soldier> when i download programs for example flash player drivers they open with the archive manger and i cant execute anything. I extract the file to the desktop and then i have no idea what to do with it
[05:07] <ryanakca> are hyphens permitted in usernames?
[05:07] <arash> CyberMad, Im not sure, but have u checked all the protocols that exist in Kopete?
[05:08] <noam_> i think i can get it compiled, that's not really a problem. but, say, when i upgrade to 7.10, won't dpkg go crazy? it'll probably report the rosegarden package to be broken
[05:08] <ryanakca> soldier: ok, first of all, what format? .tar.gz?
[05:08] <warbler> soldier: how do you download?
[05:08] <bruenig> soldier, yeah that's windows thinking, in the case of flash player, you just move a file into the plugins directory
[05:08] <IndyGunFreak> noam_: it might...
[05:08] <bruenig> soldier, or you can install it from the repositories which is the desired means of doing things
[05:09] <Amaranth> soldier: that's not the best way to get flash
[05:09] <Amaranth> !flash | soldier
[05:09] <ubotu> soldier: 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
[05:09] <ryanakca> soldier: If you're downloading with Firefox, save the file to disk rather than opening it with the archive manager
[05:09] <diablos_raven> bruenig: nope
[05:09] <Olgem> lol gnash
[05:09] <CyberMad> arash does Kopete just IM Client? hmm.. do you mean jabber?
[05:09] <noam_> IndyGunFreak, so is there some way to have both installed? or have 1.5.1 installed somewhere out of /usr/?
[05:09] <IndyGunFreak> noam_: not really sure.
[05:09] <IndyGunFreak> maybe

[05:11] <arash> I wonder if my sound card is correctly detected (my graphics card wasn't), was it some command that made the shell show what it thinks is the sound card I use?
[05:11] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[05:11] <warbler> !sound
[05:11] <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
[05:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Kousotu: Not appreciated...
[05:12] <peeps_work> are there any good programs out there that can open MS .doc files besides OO.O, and AbiWord
[05:12] <Kousotu> never has anything I;m looking for
[05:12] <gcostello> peeps_work: antiwork :-)
[05:12] <reallyjoel> is there a way to allow root actions in a graphical file browser?
[05:12] <arash> warbler , I read all them, my sound works, but it is only one program that can use sound at a time. I think It isn't taking full advantage of my sound card
[05:12] <gcostello> peeps_work: i meant antiword :-)
[05:12] <hermit> So I changed my apt.sources to gutsy, did a dist-upgrade, and now i want to roll it back to feisty somehow. I changed all my sources back to feisty and did an apt-get update and then tried a dist-upgrade but it still just sees everything as newest version. How can I make it go back to feisty packages?
[05:12] <arash> reallyjoel : 'gksudo nautilus' I think
[05:13] <SlimeyPete> reallyjoel: "gksu nautilus" should open a browser with root permissions
[05:13] <dgjones> hermit, i think you'll need to do a complete reinstall
[05:13] <peeps_work> gcostello, ok, i'll try that thanks
[05:13] <hermit> dgjones: poop
[05:13] <arash> reallyjoel: Just be careful
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> reallyjoel: It works... but use it very sparringly...  it is a very bloated app and running as root is dangerous
[05:13] <Kousotu> peeps_work: might want to search "doc"
[05:13] <warbler> arash: sounds (excuse the pun) like a driver issue  - what's the card & we'll google it for linux drivers?
[05:14] <reallyjoel> kk, thanks all
[05:14] <gcostello> peeps_work: I was joking, antiword will just strip out the text of the document
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> reallyjoel: You might want to look into thunar or pcman for lighter file managers
[05:14] <ScottishDuck> hey guys
[05:14] <arash> warbler _ Im not 100, but I think the card name is Realtek
[05:14] <peeps_work> gcostello, great
[05:15] <peeps_work> Kousotu, search what for doc?
[05:15] <Tilllinux> What do I have to do, when I want to log onto a Win2k3 server- domain with an ubuntu pc?
[05:15] <peeps_work> Kousotu, search package manager?  then I get every documentation package
[05:15] <Kousotu> peeps_work: try .doc then
[05:15] <warbler> arash: in feisty there is a menu entry for hardware information - that will tell you

[05:17] <ticked> gotta question, there is a long story to it, so i am gonna shorten it, i need to remove ubuntu and get my driver back to factory state, anyone know how i can go about doing it??

[05:17] <reallyjoel> Jack_Sparrow,  the paste command is greyed out
[05:18] <warbler> arash: try in system or utilities
[05:18] <reallyjoel> Jack_Sparrow, just paste

[05:25] <BobSapp> so can anyone help me out as to how i can compile and install stuff from source?

[05:25] <medfly> what do windows users mean when they say they turn off vertical sync?
[05:25] <DavoDinkum> Jack_Sparrow: Why is that?
[05:25] <IndyGunFreak> ok.
[05:25] <|neon|> would using linux raid (two SATA drives) will give better performance than one single SATA drive thx
[05:25] <Carroarmato1> Can Ubuntu copy cds by default? Or do I need an external application to do this?
[05:26] <SlimeyPete> medfly: vsync is used in 3d applications. It ties the refresh of the game screen to the refresh of the monitor o that you don't get any image tearing.
[05:26] <BobSapp> medfly: I think it means the next update to the screen isnt written untill the intire windows has been drawn
[05:26] <ord> i think it does not matter
[05:26] <arash> BobSapp, I cant, im noob, but I know that its much better to search synaptic for it first, (if it works, if it doesn't, then bother to intall from source)
[05:26] <Edogy> Kousotu: Yes, I do. Am I to change the "ntfs" string to "ntfs-3g" ? in fstab? Or is there more still to this?
[05:26] <medfly> okay. well, how do i turn vertical sync off on ubuntu?
[05:26] <arash> Edogy , isnt there a GUI for ntfs-3g nowadays?
[05:26] <Jack_Sparrow> DavoDinkum: I had a link.... but cant find it...  But there are a few different reasons...   ONe is that when you need help, more people use normal grub boot-loader and will now how to help you.
[05:27] <ord> hey how can i know the system information in terminal
[05:27] <BobSapp> medfly: i think that depends on the application
[05:27] <Edogy> arash, I'm using Server, no GUI
[05:27] <Kousotu> Edogy: ntfs-3g is the windows ntfs viewer, fuse is used ingutsy to writ
[05:27] <soldier> how do i run a .tgz file thats located on my desktop
[05:27] <medfly> BobSapp, uhm.. okay, so i should look for some setting in the application that reminds me of vertical sync?
[05:27] <Shishire> anyone know where to get a GStreamer MPEG-4 package?
[05:27] <DavoDinkum> Jack_Sparrow: The debian one works just like a regular install though
[05:27] <BobSapp> medfly: is your monitor complaining about vsync?
[05:27] <Jack_Sparrow> DavoDinkum: another is that some of those install the cd in a folder without partitioning etc.. if dapper crashes you are in linux and on an ntfs or fat32 and bad things happen including corruption of ntfs
[05:27] <Kousotu> Edogy: so far I haven't hadany issue with fust, it seems sab;e enough for smal task
[05:28] <arash> soldier , try open a terminal and drag the file icon into the terminal, I think its how you run it (im not sure)
[05:28] <ord> hey can i know the system information in the terminal thru any command
[05:28] <Kousotu> Fuse*
[05:28] <Edogy> Thanks Kousotu
[05:28] <Carroarmato1> Can Ubuntu copy cds by default? Or do I need an external application to do this?

[05:28] <Kousotu> no prob Edogy
[05:28] <medfly> BobSapp, no, im playing some games and windows users usually turn off vsync to have higher fps on those games
[05:28] <ipx> Carroarmato1: by default
[05:28] <DavoDinkum> ok thanks
[05:28] <BobSapp> medfly: ah
[05:28] <IndyGunFreak> arash: are you using Ubuntu 64bit?

[05:29] <BobSapp> k
[05:29] <Kousotu> jerbear: of course
[05:29] <arash> IndyGunFreak . Acutally its Kubuntu (but more people are in this chan), no, it's 32-bit I installed
[05:29] <BobSapp> medfly: not all games include the option
[05:29] <IndyGunFreak> ok..
[05:29] <Pici> Xman: Depends on your motherboard, could be delete, f1, f2... Try asking in ##hardware
[05:29] <IndyGunFreak> soldier: a tar file will need to be compiled.
[05:29] <IndyGunFreak> you don't just open it and run it.
[05:29] <Jack_Sparrow> soldier: What are you trying to install...
[05:29] <dgjones> Xman, different manufacturers have different keys, my dell laptop uses F2 or F12
[05:29] <medfly> BobSapp, are you sure i cant do that somehow by editing the xorg.conf? since there is something about vertical sync there, but i dont think its the same thing.
[05:29] <medfly> :-)

[05:33] <Kousotu> soldier: open a trumanal, type in sudo -i
[05:33] <IndyGunFreak> msg ubotu thanks
[05:33] <medfly> SlimeyPete, alright. so i should assume everyone commenting about it is wrong
[05:33] <warbler> Strawberryjam: nvidia driver?
[05:33] <Sivik> any here have a hp G3010 scanner
[05:33] <BobSapp> SlimeyPete: If he turns vsync off he'd get more fps but there would be no visual difference apart from tearing isnt that right?
[05:33] <arash> Strawberryjam , no! dont read those guide, they really are slow. google for envy, I promise it will save you at least 3 hours
[05:33] <Strawberryjam> i need to install, my NVidia driver, i am new to linux so i would appreciate any help thank you...(ok i see what you mean :)
[05:33] <ord> hey this is it plz help http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35797/
[05:33] <Strawberryjam> yes warbler
[05:34] <Kousotu> soldier: then use apt-get installntfs-3g
[05:34] <Kousotu> soldier: then use apt-get install ntfs-3g
[05:34] <IndyGunFreak> !envy
[05:34] <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!
[05:34] <BobSapp> SlimeyPete: but also i suppose the "input" fps would increase
[05:34] <Kousotu> (typo)
[05:34] <Strawberryjam> envy?
[05:34] <SlimeyPete> medfly: yeah, unless they're telling you to turn vsync *off*
[05:34] <PriceChild> !nvidia | Strawberryjam
[05:34] <ubotu> Strawberryjam: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:34] <medfly> soldier, you can just write "synaptic" there
[05:34] <Strawberryjam> thnks
[05:34] <medfly> SlimeyPete, yeah. theyre telilng me to turn vsync off. (didnt i say that?)
[05:34] <IndyGunFreak> Strawberryjam: Envy is a bad idea,
[05:34] <ryanakca> how cann you read 'foo(8)' instead of 'foo(1)'?
[05:34] <SlimeyPete> BobSapp: yeah that's right, just a bit of tearing - no biggie
[05:34] <Liber> whoa , everything here rolls so fast
[05:34] <Strawberryjam> ok
[05:34] <IndyGunFreak> !nvidia | Strawberryjam
[05:34] <warbler> strawberyjam: the version of ubuntu you are on ? - is it 7.04 feisty
[05:34] <Strawberryjam> :)
[05:34] <Liber> I cant read anything lol
[05:34] <SlimeyPete> medfly: oh right... I don't think you did but maybe I just misread
[05:34] <Pici> ryanakca: man 8 foo  or man foo 8 , one of them works.
[05:35] <Strawberryjam> no...i think its 6.10 Amd 64
[05:35] <jerbear> ls
[05:35] <Pici> ryanakca: I dont remember which.
[05:35] <IndyGunFreak> sigh...
[05:35] <PriceChild> Liber, well then when addressing someone, use their name so it appears red on their screen :)
[05:35] <arash> bah, envy is great! well, if you recently installed, I say try envy, since you lose nothing on your machine in case you recently installed
[05:35] <ryanakca> Pici: ah, thanks :)
[05:35] <Strawberryjam> is there anyway to upgrade to that version?
[05:35] <Pici> !worksforme | arash
[05:35] <ubotu> arash: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok.

[05:35] <PriceChild> arash, in this channel we suggest the official ubuntu documentation. see worksforme ^
[05:35] <ryanakca> Pici: first one
[05:35] <warbler> Strawberryjam: which nvidia card?
[05:35] <IndyGunFreak> arash: that is terrible advice
[05:35] <ord> hey can any one plz tell me what xactly does these details mean http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35797/ i know my ram and processor whats the rest
[05:35] <medfly> SlimeyPete, uhm, i sort of understood that vsync is a thing that makes your computer finish messing with every frame before displaying it
[05:35] <Sivik> Strawberryjam, why not upgrade to feisty
[05:36] <IndyGunFreak> Sivik: for that matter, why go to the hassle of 64bit?..lol
[05:36] <Strawberryjam> hahaha...how?!? i am so new to all this
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> arash: Envy is a terrible thing to do to a system
[05:36] <pablo-uy-mvd> how do i enable autologin for terminals? im uing 7.04 (gdm xdmcp)
[05:36] <BobSapp> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:36] <PriceChild> Strawberryjam, edgy works fine, and you there are instructions on the nvidia page you were given
[05:36] <soldier> medfly where can i run or type synaptic
[05:36] <Pici> !who
[05:36] <ubotu> 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 :)
[05:36] <Strawberryjam> i actually am looking for a replacement for my windows audio system
[05:36] <medfly> soldier, on the terminal
[05:36] <Liber> hmmm
[05:36] <warbler> Strawberryjam: in terminal type - sudo "update-manager-c"
[05:36] <Strawberryjam> but ubuntu studio is down
[05:36] <Sivik> Strawberryjam, change all the places where it edgy in your sources.list to feisty and do a aptitude update and then aptitude upgrade
[05:36] <PriceChild> Strawberryjam, ubuntustudio.tv
[05:36] <Liber> I need to get the hang of IRC chatting
[05:36] <arash> Ok, those guys know more than me, but I know I would used Vista if it werent for Envy..., But they are more experienced than me. Up to you.
[05:36] <trev_> does anyone know of a good program to convert a .wmv into a DVD file?
[05:36] <ryanakca> Also, in adduser, 'adduser -f <filename>', the filename must have information stored in the following format:   name:uid:gid:class:change:expire:gecos:home_dir:shell:password ... what is the 'Login class'?
[05:36] <PriceChild> Strawberryjam, don't follow sivik's advice
[05:36] <Strawberryjam> so while that is happening i am trying to familiarize myself with linux
[05:36] <medfly> soldier, you can probably use /exec synaptic too
[05:36] <IndyGunFreak> Strawberryjam: well, i don't think w32code3cs work in 64bit, so you'll get stopped pretty quickly
[05:36] <PriceChild> !upgrade | Sivik
[05:37] <ubotu> Sivik: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:37] <medfly> soldier, (on this window)
[05:37] <Strawberryjam> wow this thing moves fast
[05:37] <Sivik> PriceChild, why are you telling me
[05:37] <Pici> medfly: Wont work, you need to use gksudo.
[05:37] <PriceChild> Sivik, because that is poor advice.
[05:37] <Sivik> PriceChild, thats how i always do it
[05:37] <IndyGunFreak> Strawberryjam: yeah..lol, there's 1200 people here.
[05:37] <SlimeyPete> medfly: it just means that the game will rate until the next monitor refresh before upating its own screen. This stops the monitor from refreshing when the game is onl halfway through drawing the screen (which causes "tearing" - glitches in the image)
[05:37] <PriceChild> !worksforme | Sivik
[05:37] <ubotu> Sivik: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok.

[05:37] <SlimeyPete> *wait until
[05:37] <warbler> *gksu
[05:37] <Sivik> PriceChild, suck my balls
[05:37] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[05:38] <IndyGunFreak> bye Sivik
[05:38] <nikron> Sivik: because that was the apprioate response
[05:38] <Strawberryjam> Sivik...huh?!?
[05:38] <Kousotu> lol
[05:38] <soldier> medfly k ntfs 3g is installed. how do i use it? i still cant see the file on my windows partition
[05:38] <SlimeyPete> medfly: but of course if the game is waiting for each monitor refresh, in can only update at the same rate as the monitor and that effects your FPS (though unless your FPS is already 60+ it won't make any difference)
[05:38] <Kousotu> soldier: reboot
[05:39] <IndyGunFreak> you know if you're gonna tells omeone off, you should at least check the mod list..lol
[05:39] <nikron> Why are you rebooting to mount a ntfs partiton
[05:39] <nikron> that's just bad practice right there
[05:39] <arash> Ok, IndyGunFreak , so you are sure my driver is correctly installed if i hear sound , even if only one program can play sound at once?
[05:39] <ManaPirat> bad weather comming in - user fly deep today ;)
[05:39] <Kousotu> IndyGunFreak: yea, that's usually a good idea
[05:39] <IndyGunFreak> arash: i would think so...
[05:39] <pablo-uy-mvd> how do i enable autologin for terminals? im uing 7.04 (gdm xdmcp)
[05:39] <Sivik> oh on, you kicked me from the channel, what shall i do
[05:39] <IndyGunFreak> lol, he should have muted you.
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> nikron: I have seen it help when setting up ntfs-3g for write access
[05:39] <Kousotu> nikron: after yo install the drivers, you ned to reboot, ause it isn't set in X
[05:40] <soldier> Kousotu if i reboot all changes will be lost wont they. im still running ubuntu off the cd and trying to manage my windows files before i reboot
[05:40] <Kousotu> soldier: oh...
[05:40] <PriceChild> Sivik, Please lets keep discussion here on-topic. I.e. support only. If you have a problem with my actions please PM me.
[05:40] <nikron> lol
[05:40] <ord> hey my synaptic is free ,i have to type nes to check for nes emulator
[05:40] <Strawberryjam> brb..reading install instructions
[05:40] <Sivik> PriceChild, whatever
[05:40] <ord> its not there
[05:40] <warbler> cntrl-alt-bksp
[05:40] <Kousotu> soldier: just use ctrl+ alt + backspace (note, it will ask for a udername and pasword, sit there intill it logsitself i)
[05:41] <nikron> Kousotu: ause?  fuse?  What?  You don't need to reboot to mount a freakin' partition, nor restart X
[05:41] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[05:41] <dashgr> hey i just installed wine, how do i get a program to work with it
[05:41] <PriceChild> !wine | dashgr
[05:41] <ubotu> dashgr: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[05:41] <GNine> anyone experiencing cdrom crashing when blank cd inserted? (cdrom unit not responsive, wont eject cd)
[05:41] <Liber> right click on it and select open with wine
[05:41] <Kousotu> nikron: I had to, on both Gusty Tribe 3, 4 ,5 AND on Fiesty
[05:42] <medfly> GNine, try to umount it, maybe something mounted it
[05:42] <IndyGunFreak> GNine: no
[05:42] <medfly> GNine, then eject
[05:42] <Pici> !away > N3bunel
[05:42] <warbler> GNine: dirty cd or stuffed cd player
[05:42] <soldier> i dont have permission to write from one folder to another. why is that?
[05:42] <ord> hey nes is not present in synaptic
[05:42] <PriceChild> soldier, what exactly are you trying to do?
[05:42] <medfly> soldier, on ntfs?
[05:42] <Kousotu> soldier: you needfuse for tha, I don't know it it's in fiesty
[05:42] <PriceChild> ord, snes9x or something I think?
[05:42] <GNine> nothing to unmount. blank cds dont mount.  cd unit halts.
[05:43] <Strawberryjam> ok i have a geforce 7900GS card
[05:43] <Kousotu> ord, wait ok
[05:43] <Pici> ord: zsnes or snes9x
[05:43] <Kousotu> Pici: that's SNES

[05:43] <GNine> i have to manually eject the cd
[05:43] <IndyGunFreak> time for work.. be safe all.
[05:43] <Strawberryjam> but its no use if i cant install it
[05:43] <PriceChild> Strawberryjam, did you read the wiki.ubuntu.com page ubotu gave you?
[05:43] <warbler> Strawberryjam: do you have all repositories enabled?
[05:43] <Kousotu> ord, pm me
[05:43] <BobSapp> NES EMULATORS ARE HERE -> http://www.zophar.net/unix/nes.html
[05:44] <GNine> and cd drive comes back to operational only after reboot
[05:44] <Strawberryjam> no isee that in the manual, i'll so that now
[05:44] <PriceChild> BobSapp, there are emulators in the repositories.
[05:44] <Kousotu> BobSapp: I will deal wi ord meyself
[05:44] <BobSapp> PriceChild: I just thought he could look at the names and try to apt-get them
[05:44] <Kousotu> what is the MIN you can run ubuntu?
[05:45] <Kousotu> hd wise
[05:45] <BobSapp> since ubuntu is so lovley it auto completes package names
[05:45] <BobSapp> i never get tired of that
[05:45] <Nuggy> Hi All, I am getting this error on boot into X OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet, any ideas
[05:45] <arash> StrawBerryJam ,  This is unofficial, yes, but if you made no work, and are not afraid of loosing all data on your  Ubuntu, I tink Envy is really great, but its not official, and all the proffesionals disreccomend it. (envy do all stuff automatically, saves hours)
[05:45] <soldier> this is ridiculous
[05:45] <SlimeyPete> Kousotu: you could probably fit a working install, with some apps and swap, inside 5GB
[05:45] <Chinaski1> hello,wat was the channel to discuss only about compiz-fuxion?
[05:46] <Chinaski1> *what
[05:46] <GNine> my base system is 8gb
[05:46] <SlimeyPete> Kousotu: if ou don't want graphics then make that 3 or 4GB
[05:46] <Pici> Chinaski1: #ubuntu-effects or #compizfusion
[05:46] <Chinaski1> thanks Pici
[05:46] <warbler> soldier: ask a clerer question with more facts pls
[05:46] <Kousotu> SlimeyPete: I' not using it for anything heavy, just debog anh help for others on Fiesty, what is the min hd space I can use?
[05:46] <PriceChild> arash, please... don't suggest envy in this channel.
[05:47] <Kousotu> isn;t it somwhere around 2GB?
[05:47] <ord> hey i found it its not snex
[05:47] <Chinaski1> and sorry another question.i use Xchat, is there a way to do a kind of bookmark of a channel?
[05:47] <arash> Sorry Pricechild :(, but it means so much too me, wont happen again :( (today :p )
[05:47] <ord> its desmume
[05:47] <Nuggy> apt-get install libnss3-dev
[05:47] <ikaruga> hey guys, anyone been able to print from rosegarden or noteedit?
[05:47] <ikaruga> my system's been giving me wierd error messages --- about pdf filters not installed...
[05:48] <GNine> hmm.. total filesystem is 9gigs right now..
[05:48] <|neon|> would using linux raid (two SATA drives) will give better performance than one single SATA drive thx
[05:48] <SlimeyPete> Kousotu: you could probably squeeze it into that but there'd be very little elbow-room
[05:48] <Jack_Sparrow> arash: Glad it worked for you... but please stop promoting it in here....
[05:48] <Kousotu> SlimeyPete: I don;t ned elbow room lol
[05:48] <iMissileSlo> hi
[05:48] <[Exodus_Ciruit] > has anyone been been having promblems with firefox lately

[05:48] <Liber> works like a charm
[05:49] <Charlote> hi all
[05:49] <Strawberryjam> when i get to point 3 "In the Software Preferences dialog that comes up, click the Add button.   In the Edit Repository dialog, ensure that the Restricted copyright box is  checked, then press OK.  " I dont get those preferences or dialougue box

[05:49] <Mahasamatman> hello has anyone here installed ubuntu or kubuntu on a HP DV6000 (ath64 dual core)?
[05:49] <Strawberryjam> bad spelling sorry
[05:49] <Pici> Gn4w: `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop` to stop it or just ctrl-alt-f1 if you just want to use the command line for a bit without stopping X.
[05:49] <GNine> !terminal | gn4w

[05:50] <Strawberryjam> i will figure it out
[05:50] <Strawberryjam> thnx
[05:50] <diablos_raven> anyone else got a solution to my probelm
[05:50] <MissileSilo> i dont know. i basically want everything to work i guess
[05:50] <warbler> k
[05:50] <|neon|> MissileSilo: i'm not using the 64 tho itried it just using the 32 right now can't tell the difference
[05:50] <MissileSilo> i dont want to be stuck using the 32 bit version
[05:50] <Strawberryjam> how can i upgrade to 7.10 with out downloading everything
[05:50] <warbler> Stawberrylam get repos then ask
[05:51] <MissileSilo> right now i'm using Vista

[05:51] <warbler> Strawberryjam:see above
[05:51] <soldier> ok im trying to install ubuntu right now. ive given up on trying to read my old windows files.  I select my e: drive to install on and i get the error no root file system is defiened Please correct this from the partitioning menu. Thats what happens if i select manual. but if i select guided scsi4 then right befre the installation begins it tells me this "This will destroy all data on any partitions you have removed as

[05:51] <genii> sounds like a wubi install
[05:51] <Strawberryjam> trying to install using the term...terminal just dont work
[05:52] <Ahadiel> soldier, one partition needs to have the mount point of /
[05:52] <genii> eg: selecting drive e: to install on
[05:52] <Discerer> ok so when trying to boot up the kernel for the cd installation I get this: <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! any ideas?
[05:52] <MissileSilo> so in that case i should download the amd64 version of ubuntu?
[05:52] <Jack_Sparrow> diablos_raven: close down apt-get or synaptic... only one at a time
[05:52] <soldier> ahadiel what does that mean
[05:52] <Ahadiel> MissileSilo, x86
[05:52] <Pici> diablos_raven: Have you tried a reboot?
[05:52] <diablos_raven> i wasnt running either synaptic or update manager
[05:52] <diablos_raven> not yet
[05:52] <MissileSilo> x86 is 32 bit though right
[05:52] <|neon|> yes
[05:53] <warbler> soldier: yes - simply - it is a partition choice - you can manually set the root drive to take free space or shrink the windows directory

[05:55] <Carroarmato1> I seem to have a problem copying a cd with Brasero... when I start copying it always say I have no room left on ly drive... while I still have 95 GBs!
[05:55] <dashgr> hey does anyone know how i can a windows screen saver to work with our system?
[05:55] <warbler> everyone typed !paste at once
[05:55] <diablos_raven> im goingt o try a reboot
[05:55] <Strawberryjam> yeah?
[05:55] <Mahasamatman> with a whopping 16k module for the back
[05:55] <pike_> i dont understand people running 64bit on nonproduction boxes..
[05:56] <pike_> er desktops i mean
[05:56] <ryanakca> is the a CLI interface for adding users? or a way to put a pile of username/password/shells into a file (as with the freebsd adduser) and have it create the users?
[05:56] <warbler> pike: developers need time!
[05:56] <usser> pike_ i do, for a challenge
[05:56] <genii> missilesilo: amd64 won't work for core2 duo
[05:56] <genii> crap he left
[05:56] <Strawberryjam> mine was...48k with cassette drive...then commodore64, with floppy and its very own monitor so i not hog the tv anymore
[05:57] <usser> Strawberryjam dude those there the times i had 48k spectrum with tape drive
[05:57] <qsrv> has anybody set up mpd to work under ubuntu?
[05:57] <kitche> genii, it should work since amd64 is what most linux's call x86_64
[05:57] <genii> ryanakca: It works the same in both systems. do man adduser
[05:57] <qsrv> I keep having "problems with opening audio device". The advice given in the mpd faq did not help
[05:58] <Am2U> hi guys! i have a problem
[05:58] <qsrv> it only works if I set up alsa to be the output driver
[05:58] <Mahasamatman> 1st sys I repaired was a challenger 4p that had lightning pop all the ram chips
[05:58] <warbler> !sound
[05:58] <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
[05:58] <Am2U> I have an asus a8n-vm mohterboard with NViDia onboard sound
[05:58] <Liber> Am2U: tell us about your problem
[05:58] <usser> qsrv sorry i missed something? alsa is supposed to be the default driver
[05:59] <Frogzoo> Am2U: best if you just state your problem - with all the detail in just one line
[05:59] <qsrv> usser: I was trying to make it work with esd
[05:59] <|neon|> would using linux raid (two SATA drives) will give better performance than one single SATA drive thx
[05:59] <usser> qsrv oh, ok, sorry then dunno nothing about it
[05:59] <qsrv> usser: with alsa for some reason the PCM levels are up to the max and that makes the sound quality horrible
[06:00] <diablos_raven> ok so the lock is off but some of the repos arent working
[06:00] <Am2U> i have 5 speakers which i am not able to configure. Added to that every time i am playing a song and double click the volume applet , sound gets muted (even though the channels are up to max) and no sound comes after that
[06:00] <tiziano> good evening!
[06:00] <soldier> thanks all for your help but nothing at all was accomplished. i really wish you could pm here. cuz its very very hard to follow instructions in this chat room i hope that the next time i come back you will allow it
[06:00] <Am2U> is there a way to comletely removeve alsa and reinstall the entire sound base
[06:00] <ryanakca> genii: sorry, I've read the man page several times and don't see anything pertaining to an input file... are you talking about /usr/local/sbin/adduser.local ?
[06:01] <genii> ryanakca: 1 minute

[06:02] <Marfi> im trying to resize my ubuntu partition...whats the best way to go about doing that? i tried with gParted, but it keeps having problesm
[06:02] <warbler> *their
[06:02] <Am2U> Marfi, whats the nature of the problem ?
[06:03] <warbler> Marfi:gparted gave me lots of grief
[06:03] <|neon|> i guess i'll ask my second question    mii-tool reports my nic speed to be 100   ethtool reports it to be 1000 full duplex which one should i bbelieve thx
[06:03] <Am2U> gparted works for me
[06:03] <ryanakca> Pici: no
[06:03] <warbler> !worksforme
[06:03] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/
[06:03] <Marfi> Am2U, i booted up to the ubuntu disk, and it keeps mounting the drive i want to partition. i unmounted it, resized it, and it just hung
[06:03] <Frogzoo> neverblue: ethtool - mii has no way to know 1000 or 100
[06:04] <Am2U> is it an NTFS/ windows partition ?
[06:04] <tafsen> What's the command for starting gnome networkmanager?
[06:04] <tiziano> good evening, is there a way to reconfigure the ubuntu kernel and still have restricted drivers support?
[06:05] <Pici> tafsen: gnome-network-manager?
[06:05] <Marfi> Am2U, for resizing?
[06:05] <Am2U> tafsen, ,network -admin
[06:05] <nikron> nm-applet
[06:05] <nikron> ?
[06:05] <nikron> or /etc/init.d/networkmanager start
[06:05] <Marfi> Am2U, ext2 or 3, dont remember. its a linux partition though
[06:06] <Am2U> Marfi, it maycontain a previous Linux installation
[06:06] <neonflx> Frogzoo: so mii-tool nor ethtool cann tell what speed the nic is running
[06:06] <warbler> tafsen: gksu network-admin
[06:06] <Marfi> Am2U, its my ubuntu install. im trying to shrink it so i can put win2k on the remainder
[06:07] <Strawberryjam> ok wait
[06:07] <Am2U> Marfi, you can resize the active partition
[06:07] <Strawberryjam> restart
[06:07] <Am2U> Pardon me
[06:07] <Marfi> Am2U, while in ubuntu? i thought you couldn't edit mounted partitions
[06:07] <Am2U> you *cant*
[06:07] <staykovmarin> when using beryl, i have saturation set to unfocused windows. when i have windows from all the workspaces displayed on my task bar, and i switch a window from another workspace, the saturation remains even though the window is focused.

[06:08] <Am2U> if the partition you want to resize is active , gparted cant resize it
[06:08] <staykovmarin> oh sorry about that
[06:08] <Marfi> Am2U, thats why i booted the ubuntu cd and unmounted the drive
[06:08] <Frogzoo> neonflx: ethtool will
[06:08] <warbler> k
[06:08] <Marfi> still is giving me problems. =()
[06:08] <Marfi> *=)
[06:08] <Am2U> okay, you are running the Live CD ?
[06:08] <Marfi> yes
[06:09] <neonflx> Frogzoo: thx i guess i'm ok it reports speed: 1000 full duplex   i thought mii-tool did also
[06:09] <Marfi> i open gparted, it mounts the drive. i unmount it, then resize it. then it hangs on the resize
[06:09] <Am2U> does it start resizing and hang mid way ?
[06:10] <Frogzoo> neonflx: for some reason mii doesn't report 1000, I think it's something with the ethernet spec
[06:10] <Marfi> Am2U, nope. the progress bar doesn't even continue
[06:10] <Tixer> How do I set a custom resolution in X.org? I need 320x240 >.<
[06:10] <Am2U> Tixer, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:11] <Tixer> that doesn't have a low enough res.
[06:11] <warbler> & follow prompts
[06:11] <adalberto> hello somebody can help me
[06:11] <Am2U> Marfi, I am sorry - it simply may be due to bad drive sectors or other reasons
[06:11] <warbler> manually change xorg.conf
[06:11] <Am2U> try using a different software or try the forums
[06:11] <Tixer> where do I add / what?
[06:11] <genii> ryanakca: Crap. I was thinking of usermod (which we use here in a script which first makes a generic new name then we pipe user modifications to it from a file)and not adduser/useradd. something that may be helpful for you however (since i need to go to lunch) http://www.webservertalk.com/archive99-2005-6-1104086.html
[06:12] <Am2U> edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[06:12] <Marfi> Am2U, everything should be good. ubuntu has been running perfectly. ill see if anyone else has any ideas. thanks though!  =)
[06:12] <Am2U> No problem ! :)
[06:12] <Marfi> hey yall, im trying to resize my ubuntu install, and gparted is giving me problems. any one have any idea?
[06:12] <warbler> Tixer: in terminal - sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf - first then come back
[06:12] <YoshiBishi> Hi everyone, i am having a peculiar problem with my panels
[06:13] <Am2U> YoshiBishi, what kind of ?
[06:13] <adalberto> I need to install messenger of yahoo in linux ubuntu
[06:13] <YoshiBishi> The panel at the bottom keeps moving behind the top panel
[06:13] <Am2U> adalberto, try Pidgin
[06:13] <YoshiBishi> Every other time i turn on the computer, the bottom panel is missing
[06:13] <YoshiBishi> And is hidden behind the top panel
[06:13] <Liber> adalberto: oh yea defenetli Pidgin
[06:13] <PriceChild> Am2U, adalberto gaim is in the ubuntu repositories and works fine.
[06:13] <PriceChild> Liber, Am2U please don't suggest pidgin as it isn't in the repositories.
[06:14] <Tixer> how do I restard xorg?
[06:14] <Am2U> Sorry
[06:14] <Liber> PriceChild: well it should be :)
[06:14] <Am2U> ctrl + alt + backspace restarts X
[06:14] <PriceChild> Liber, it will be in gutsy in a couple of months
[06:14] <warbler> Tixer: restart?
[06:14] <Am2U> PriceChild, Pidgin is by default in Ubuntu 7.10 alpha :)
[06:15] <PriceChild> Am2U, gutsy isn't discussed in this channel.
[06:15] <warbler> Tixer: cntrl-alt-bksp
[06:15] <Am2U> I understand , and so i said sorry !
[06:15] <YoshiBishi> Am2U, any idea whats going on?
[06:15] <leperkhanz> My terminal is giving me the no AWE device.  I'm trying to get midi working.  Any ideas?
[06:15] <Am2U> YoshiBishi, try checking the properties of the panel
[06:15] <Tixer> I'm trying to put Ubuntu on an embedded device I made,
[06:15] <Tixer> but I need to get the res small enough
[06:16] <Liber> PriceChild: is there a quick way to adress other user in the channel ? I am using Xchat
[06:16] <warbler> k
[06:16] <YoshiBishi> The thing is, the two panels have merged together
[06:16] <Am2U> try uncecking the expand and auto hide options
[06:16] <YoshiBishi> Where one is hidden behind the other
[06:16] <leperkhanz> Also, btw, nobody is IN the gutsy chan, so......  Expect people to pop up in here.
[06:16] <pteague_work> anybody know if there's something wrong with the ubuntu server version cd?  i downloaded it & checked the md5sum, burned it, & was trying to install it - a couple of the files from base install are corrupt
[06:16] <Am2U> Liber, in X chat typing the first three letters of a users nick and pressing tab key echos the list of nicknames
[06:17] <Frogzoo> pteague_work: burn again @ 1/2 speed
[06:17] <RobDaGlob> same thing in Pidgin
[06:17] <Liber> Am2U, cool
[06:17] <leperkhanz> wow, that is handy.
[06:17] <Ahadiel> Liber, Doesn't even need to be the first 3 letters, even 1 is fine
[06:17] <leperkhanz> hmm
[06:17] <pteague_work> Frogzoo> k, i'll see if that works... i already burned 2 copies & both were bad
[06:17] <Am2U> Ahadiel, In X chat i think first 3 letters are req.
[06:17] <Ahadiel> Am2U, Yeah umm, no.
[06:18] <Vlet> pteague_work: I had no trouble with it, so it's likely something on your end
[06:18] <Marfi> Am2U, somehow it went. =) lol
[06:18] <Am2U> the thing is if i press tab after first alphabet the alternatives are ehoed on the screen
[06:18] <Am2U> instead of the typing ares
[06:18] <boabsta> can anyone help me with a disk usage problem i have - apparently my root partition is full, which is a lie and also another partition cannot have any files created because it says its full but du says there is 2.2GB left.....
[06:18] <Tixer> I can't get Ubuntu low enough >.<
[06:18] <Am2U> Marfi, congratulations :D
[06:18] <Tixer> Is it even possible to have this bad a resolution?
[06:18] <Ahadiel> Am2U, That's because there is more than one option for auto-completion
[06:18] <Am2U> Tixer, why would you need such a poor resolution
[06:19] <Tixer> Embedded Device + 5" screen.
[06:19] <Am2U> Ahadiel, exactly .. so prefer 2+ alphabets ;)
[06:19] <leperkhanz> Splenda tastes like poison.  I'm not drinking any more of this.
[06:19] <Ahadiel> Am2U, but it's not a "requirement" as you said earlier
[06:19] <cn> hi, im sitting with a intel server. it has software raid that appears to be configured correctly in the "intel raid web console 2" it shows me a array0 with the 2 drives under it. When I try install ubuntu server and it gets to the point of partitioning the drives, i still see two drives.. shouldnt it be showing my 1 now that the drives are raided?
[06:19] <Am2U> Yes, apologies :)
[06:19] <YoshiBishi> Am2u, i fixed it
[06:19] <Tixer> any ideas for how to get a crappier resolution in X.org?
[06:20] <Strawberryjam> i'm back...just had to install updates
[06:20] <Am2U> YoshiBishi, great, what did you do ?
[06:20] <YoshiBishi> I went into system monitor and killed the gnome-panel process
[06:20] <Am2U> Tixer, did you try and manually edit Xorg.conf
[06:20] <YoshiBishi> It is set to restart in "current session"
[06:20] <YoshiBishi> So after I killed process, gnome-panel restarted, and bottom panel re-appeared
[06:20] <Strawberryjam> :( i have 2 19" monitors and i just miss them on the 1440-900 resolution...(yeah i am spoilt)
[06:20] <Tixer> Am2U: I did, but it didn't work. Not sure if I did it right though >.<
[06:20] <Vlet> boabsta: 1% of the disk is reserved for root
[06:21] <boabsta> Vlet, i can only see 1.6GB being used on my root partition but it says I am using 28GB
[06:21] <WinXpNewb> Hello, what's the best systray process monitor for ubuntu?
[06:22] <GNine> if you were spoiled youd be using 1440x1260
[06:22] <adalberto> I am new in linux not as chat works this
[06:22] <leperkhanz> 2560x1024... :)
[06:22] <Vlet> boabsta: I don't know a lot about what it is, but I know that either it's 1% or maybe 5% is set aside, so even though you may have 'space', the disk is considered full... looking for some info for ya
[06:22] <Am2U> sorry guys I am little busy with my own problem with alsa here - so excuse me
[06:22] <GNine> nice, leperkhanz

[06:25] <Tixer> knix_: you don't necessarily need SOCKS.
[06:25] <Vlet> boabsta: Is this a data partition, or your primary partition? If it's primary, you may not want to mess with it too much... that space it reserves is for important things, but if it's data, you can use tune2fs to adjust it

[06:27] <zerogrounding> hallo
[06:27] <pteague_work> maybe he's a newb at winxp as well?
[06:27] <leperkhanz> WinXpNewb: You don't need a program like that in Ubuntu, because Ubuntu doesn't suck.
[06:27] <Vlet> boabsta: Basically, I had this problem with a bunch of extra drives I had installed. I wasn't getting their full potential, so I got rid of that reservation (set it to 1%) using tune2fs
[06:27] <GNine> heh!
[06:27] <bittin> Who Said Ubuntu sucks?

[06:30] <ftoo_on_gutsy> knix_ use a better isp then .. loool
[06:30] <Carroarmato1> ftoo_on_gutsy: think about it: more trafic to the server the more power it needs... and we know that energy is scarse... torrents may save the planet! ;)
[06:30] <fevel> hello...anyone run ubuntu on a pavillion dv2210us ?
[06:30] <fevel> its a HP laptop
[06:31] <leperkhanz> ftoo_on_gutsy: There is no better ISP in most areas.  The corporations have localized monopolies.  Certainly where I live, anyway.
[06:31] <dashgr> frogzoo: thanks

[06:31] <bittin> fevel: http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatibility.html
[06:31] <knix_> Carroarmato1, true true.  They do push for you to DL torrents, to alleviate the traffice off the servers.
[06:31] <Frogzoo> zerogrounding: 1150 peeps in chan..
[06:31] <Frogzoo> zerogrounding: they can't all be nubs
[06:31] <ftoo_on_gutsy> Carroarmato1 i cant c how using torrents helps save the planet ,,,, torrents = more sources for download = more pwoer used...

[06:36] <zerogrounding> i don't which driver that i need
[06:36] <hoody> pike_: that's what i did the last 2 hours
[06:36] <CheesyMonkey> Also what is the package called that gets me Add/Remove in menu?
[06:36] <Frogzoo> zerogrounding: lspci will show you what modem you've got
[06:36] <pike_> epssi: youll want to use the livecd so you can either download and burn the gparted livecd or use your ubuntu live/installcd and once booted install gparted and run it. you need the partition to not be mounted while resizing thats why the livecd

[06:37] <zerogrounding> Frogzoo : there is no modem controller
[06:37] <fevel> bittin, my laptop isnt on their database
[06:37] <epssi> so as the OS is on the same partition I want to resize, the only option is to use a live-cd
[06:37] <epssi> ?
[06:37] <pike_> yeah
[06:38] <epssi> ok thanks
[06:38] <Frogzoo> zerogrounding: sudo lspci |grep -i modem
[06:38] <bittin> fevel: then try a live cd
[06:38] <hoody> pike_: i installed the drivers from the brother homepage... my pc can find the find and i press the print button without getting an error... the display on the printer says something like "getting data" but doesn't start printing
[06:39] <zerogrounding> frogzoo : not work
[06:39] <zerogrounding> frogzoo : no modem detected
[06:39] <Frogzoo> zerogrounding: you sure you've an onboard modem?
[06:39] <mistergibson> is there a separate channel for the server live cd?
[06:39] <zerogrounding> sure
[06:39] <zerogrounding> frogzoo : of course
[06:39] <zerogrounding> frogzoo : my modem work with xp

[06:42] <admin__> can some one help me please?
[06:42] <Frogzoo> zerogrounding: you'll need to find out what make/model it is so you can hopefully find a linux driver

[06:44] <Alan> whats the best solution right now for running windowxp virtualized inside linux ? KVM ?
[06:44] <IAmWill> hey, i am having some trouble... I am trying to watch a DVD and I can't get the movie to be recognized in gxine, vlc or ogle.  To my knowledge I have the DVD codec installed, but maybe not, can someone point me in the right direction?  ie Do I need to get a third party repo to install the codec, or is it in the main repo, and if so, which repo do i need?
[06:44] <admin__> but also got windows xp on my pc
[06:44] <admin__> with multiple partitions

[06:46] <Alan> ftoo_on_gutsy, i already use vmware, but i'd rather use something "free"
[06:46] <kitche> Alan, virtualbox then
[06:47] <Ruben> iamwill: i really don't know, i'm sorry :)
[06:47] <pteague_work> !ntfs-3g | pteague_work
[06:47] <ftoo_on_gutsy> Alan vmware-server is free ...
[06:47] <Ruben> iamwill: other dvds work?
[06:47] <IAmWill> Ruben, thats okay, thanks for the heads up though
[06:47] <Alan> ftoo_on_gutsy, i mean free as in open-source :P
[06:47] <IAmWill> Ruben, heh, i only have one right now, i am in the airport
[06:47] <neonflx> Alan: i used both and virtualbox is not that bat at all
[06:48] <Ruben> iamwill: ask people to lend a dvd. Airport is the best place for that
[06:48] <Ruben> >>>lots op people
[06:49] <IAmWill> Ruben, k, just a heads up.. the movie I have is 300 (Special Edition)
[06:49] <ftoo_on_gutsy> Alan as neonflx says virtualbox is free , but i personally have never used it...
[06:49] <Alan> ftoo_on_gutsy, hmmm...
[06:49] <IAmWill> in care anyone else can say if they got that one playing or not
[06:49] <Alan> last time i tried virtualbox i didn't like it..
[06:49] <neonflx> virtualbox was easy to configure and get running i used automatix to installed and had no issues
[06:50] <cizarr> how do u guys checks proxy/socks5 by list?
[06:50] <arash> Hi, how I check which version my kernel is?
[06:50] <haffe__> uname -r
[06:50] <admin__> Ruben
[06:50] <admin__> ?
[06:50] <Carroarmato1> Alan: what do you need to virtualize?
[06:50] <Frogzoo> !automatix | neonflx
[06:50] <ubotu> neonflx: 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)
[06:50] <neonflx> Alan: like everything it has to evolve i remember when vmware first ame out i wasn't impress with it
[06:50] <admin__> i just opened a dialog with you
[06:50] <Alan> Carroarmato1, well, as many things as i feel like :P
[06:51] <arun> can anyone recommend any good emerald themes?
[06:51] <Alan> Carroarmato1, some things just playing with operating systems, some things needing to run for testing, etc etc
[06:51] <mike> How can I isntall an icon theme in the terminal? I'm trying to make my frst script
[06:51] <Frogzoo> arash: uname -a
[06:51] <Alan> i'm really tempted to mess with KVM, but docs seem to be a bit thin on the ground
[06:51] <Carroarmato1> Alan: then qemu should be enough to experiment with ^^
[06:51] <neonflx> ok so i get the feeling that piece of soft is not like here
[06:51] <admin__> who can help me?
[06:51] <ftoo_on_gutsy> ALan u could go the virtualization route with Xen... but you'll need to read up on the subject
[06:51] <arash> Thanks !
[06:52] <dashgr> how can i check if my wireless card is working or not?
[06:52] <mike> can anyone help me install and configure themes in the terminal?

[06:53] <zerogrounding> dashgr : try system > administration > networks
[06:53] <Carroarmato1> admin__: Couldn't you make the partitions using linux tools?
[06:53] <gmenelau> hi every one
[06:53] <Alan> Carroarmato1, is there anything that does TRUE virtualisation?  i.e. i want to be able to install an OS on a real partition and then boot it ...
[06:53] <admin__> i have made partitions in win XP, but i cant see them in linux, what can i do with it?
[06:53] <gmenelau> how i make cube to look cool????
[06:53] <Carroarmato1> Alan: you could use xen... ^^
[06:53] <zerogrounding> dasgr : and then replace interface with eth1

[06:54] <gmenelau> pici thanks
[06:54] <zerogrounding> dashgr : just type eth1

[06:55] <Marfi> hey, just install windows on my drive, and trying to re-do the MBR. "sudo grub-install /dev/sda". it kicks back "could not find devie for /boot; not found or not a block device". any ideas?  =)
[06:55] <gmenelau> dici can you help me how ?
[06:55] <Carroarmato1> admin__: Have you made the linux partitions using a tool in Win XP?
[06:55] <zerogrounding> dashgr : at there you can see name
[06:55] <cn> Pici: those documents are useless to me. If i've setup a RAID array in the intel bootable configurators... then when I get to the partition part of ubuntu installation, shouldnt it show 1 disk rather than 2? (there are 2 physicals)
[06:55] <zerogrounding> dashgr : so you can replacae eth0 to eth1 for wireless
[06:56] <BobSapp>  /join #perl
[06:56] <dashgr> zerogrounded: sorry i don't see an icon or anywhere where i can type
[06:56] <BobSapp> :)
[06:56] <dashgr> zerogrounding: sorry i don't see an icon or anywhere where i can type
[06:56] <Pici> cn: I'm sorry. Unfortunately, the only experience I have with raid is saying !raid.  If I knew more I'd be more than happy to help you.
[06:56] <Carroarmato1> Alan: I've never used xen because I'm pretty happy with vmware.... but xen seems to be a really great opensource virtualization app
[06:56] <venkatmvr> hello friends I have ubuntu on my laptop what is the easiest way to upgrade this to latest version
[06:56] <cn> hehe alright :)
[06:57] <Carroarmato1> Alan: rather happy I don't have to configure it if I might say so ^^
[06:57] <neonflx> cn: if you are trying for ubuntu to see your "fakeraid" it won't
[06:57] <zerogrounding> dashgr : icon network connection
[06:57] <art_> what command i need to upgrade ubuntu 6,10 to ubuntu 7,05
[06:57] <art_> ?
[06:57] <zerogrounding> dashgr : the icon is blinked
[06:57] <pteague_work> cn> what exactly are you trying to do with raid?
[06:57] <neonflx> cn: you could use linux raid instead if your disk are blank to beggin with same thing
[06:57] <Marfi> hey, just install windows on my drive, and trying to re-do the MBR. "sudo grub-install /dev/sda". it kicks back "could not find devie for /boot; not found or not a block device". any ideas?  =)

[07:03] <Pici> safwan: Anything you want.
[07:03] <PriceChild> jrib, hmm russian...?
[07:03] <tritoch_> vlet: could you test for me?
[07:03] <Vlet> admin__: Anyone who knows the answer
[07:03] <Vlet> tritoch_: sure :)
[07:03] <PriceChild> admin__, people have tried. respond to their advice or try it.
[07:03] <jrib> PriceChild: geo location, I have no idea though
[07:03] <kitche> akSeya, sudo update-alternatives --config java pick the sun version
[07:03] <safwan> jrib and pici thanks
[07:03] <akSeya> kitche, hum.. thanks.. i'll try ;)
[07:03] <tritoch_> vlet: thanks
[07:04] <admin__> how can i see my partitions from win xp in linux?
[07:04] <tritoch_> !ntfs | admin__
[07:04] <ubotu> admin__: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:04] <pteague_work> cn> ok, guess i'm not quite sure what the problem is then... when the installer gets to the partitioner part it should show all attached drives - you then need to select the drives you want (& set them to be used in a software raid) & add them to the raid array - they'll still show up in the partitioner, but so will a RAID device which is what you'll want to format & mount
[07:04] <PriceChild> admin__, are they fat32 or ntfs formatted?
[07:04] <admin__> ntfs
[07:04] <PriceChild> admin__, you can read those by default but not write.
[07:04] <PriceChild> admin__, they would have been added to the left of nautilus
[07:04] <admin__> why not?
[07:05] <pteague_work> admin__> because ntfs is a pita
[07:05] <PriceChild> admin__, irrelevant... you said you wanted to "see", so you can by default.
[07:05] <cn> pteague_work: the only part that im confused about is when i get to the partition part, surely it should only show 1 disk in the availble disks, as the bios has already made them as 1 array?
[07:05] <delphiuk> hello, I have just plugged in a new network card into my ubuntu box, checked out lspci which lists it as  Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet, how do I adjust my /etc/network/interfaces file to configure the new card?
[07:05] <pteague_work> admin__> i much prefer using http://www.fs-driver.org/ in windows ;)
[07:05] <cn> pteague_work: instead i see two drives listed as scsi3 and scsi4, both identicle sizes
[07:06] <Ar-Pharazon> Hi, when I click the wi-fi icon to get a list of available connections, I can't get a screenshot (I have to press Fn+Insert for that).
[07:06] <Vlet> tritoch_: sure enough, it doesn't, but I can tell you why
[07:06] <pteague_work> cn> in the bios? are you refering to the bios on your controller card?
[07:06] <Vlet> tritoch_: look into /etc/updatedb.conf
[07:06] <Ar-Pharazon> Would that qualify as a bug?
[07:06] <Vlet> tritoch_: inspect the 'prune paths'
[07:06] <ctothej> my CUPS-PDF output encodes pdf with some weird custom encoding. I cannot search or copy the text. The pdf document font properties say Encoding: Custom. How can I change this?
[07:06] <cn> pteague_work: no, in the bios i enabled RAID, then i used the supplied intel server CDs that i booted with, and went into "RAID configurator" and created the RAID from there, then rebooted into the ubuntu server install
[07:07] <cn> pteague_work: created the array at least
[07:07] <Ar-Pharazon> Also, how do I change the color of the progress bars in package manager? Here's what I mean: http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/9093/screenshot2fe9.png
[07:08] <PriceChild> jsg, here :)
[07:08] <pteague_work> cn> ok, i'm not sure how or what exactly the intel server CDs do... it seems most of raid controllers that have software that come with them are fakeraid & work great under windows (because of the software), but have varying degrees of support under linux...  i know what you're wanting & i was hoping to find something that would do the same thing, but i've not found any yet that are in my price range :(
[07:09] <tiziano> hi, is audigy 2 mic input supported with ubuntu?
[07:09] <chad> how can i change the owner of a folder from rrot to a specific user?
[07:09] <jsg> I've read that in order to add new repositories to ubuntu, you need to add them by writing their address in the apt-line. But If I want to add repositories from the UK or Finland say, how do I find thier address?
[07:09] <tiziano> chown user:group folder
[07:09] <tiziano> ^chaf
[07:09] <cn> pteague_work: the server board specs show raid support, including the levels.. so i cannot see this been all fake?
[07:10] <warbler> chad: chown - use man chown in terminal to learn it - but be careful
[07:10] <Vlet> jsg, take a look at your /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:10] <warbler> !chown
[07:10] <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
[07:10] <chad> warbler, thanks, for a moment i thought it was a typo, for chmod... :)
[07:11] <cn> pteague_work: here is the board: http://www.intel.com/design/servers/boards/s5000vsa/index.htm
[07:11] <warbler> k
[07:11] <Adlai> jsg: look at System->Administration->Software Sources
[07:11] <tritoch_> vlet: good work, thanks for your help
[07:11] <Vlet> jsg, I changed all instances of archive.ubuntu.com to a mirror closer to me. Also, in the 'software sources' control panel, there is a place to pick a mirror to use
[07:11] <Vlet> tritoch_: np :)
[07:11] <Adlai> jsg: change where it says "Download From"
[07:11] <Strawberryja1> how can i log in as root...when i try to log in it says root cannot log in from this screen
[07:12] <jsg> ive taken a look at it, but I  havent found any specific address other than the ubuntu main servers.
[07:12] <Adlai> !root | Strawberryja1
[07:12] <kyncani> !sudo > Strawberryja1
[07:12] <ubotu> Strawberryja1: 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
[07:12] <Vlet> Strawberryja1: log in as yourself, then type: su -
[07:12] <Ar-Pharazon> Can anyone help please? I need to change the progress bar's color: http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/9093/screenshot2fe9.png
[07:12] <Pici> Vlet: That is not recommended.
[07:12] <Vlet> Pici: ahh oops :)
[07:12] <Pici> Vlet: Use sudo -i if you want an interactive session.
[07:13] <Strawberryja1> not...i have setup a root password at install...i need root privileges to run the nvidia install package
[07:13] <Vlet> Ar-Pharazon: need is a strong word :)
[07:13] <jsg> but, is it possible to have all the packages from south africa, where i am, the uk and finland rather than only being allowed to pick one server at a time?
[07:13] <Adlai> Vlet: it also wouldn't work, because you'd still need to know the root password
[07:13] <ramster> :-D its alive
[07:13] <Vlet> Adlai: ahh yeah... I'm bad. first thing I do on any install is sudo passwd root :)
[07:13] <Ar-Pharazon> Vlet, well, ok, I would mildly desire to. =p It's fine if it would be too much of a bother.
[07:14] <pteague_work> cn> hmm... i'm not seeing any OS listing...  1 of the most frustrating things i found was that most claimed various raid support - they can handle the raid levels listed, but require an OS that can use their drivers
[07:14] <Adlai> Vlet: (pssst...me too) :-D
[07:14] <Pici> jsg: One of the tabs in the software sources program should let you change what mirror you are using.
[07:14] <piyush_> can any1 help me vth working of live cd??
[07:14] <pizzadude> hey all, looking for some answers to my mencoder, dvdauthor, and mkisofs questions.  i am using these programs to convert an avi to mpg then to iso. the original .avi is a wide screen video by the time it makes itto my DVD player its not wide screen and the edges get cut off.  any clues? they play fine on the computer as widescreen.
[07:14] <Vlet> Ar-Pharazon: #gnome people might be better at answering those questions maybe
[07:14] <Strawberryja1> i dont understand
[07:14] <jsg> ok, ill give it another shot. Thanks for the help!
[07:15] <Ar-Pharazon> Vlet Oh so there's a #gnome... Thank you
[07:15] <cn> pteague_work: the best of all is that the boot cds boot up linux and the while raid controller runs on the temp linux, and with this been intel.. surely it has the support, i just cannot see it not coming right
[07:16] <erlinux> what new features does gutsy have?
[07:16] <erlinux> i know it has a fglrx bug fixed for logouts
[07:16] <Adlai> erlinux: boot it up and try
[07:16] <Strawberryja1> k...thnx
[07:16] <erlinux> k, ill wait till october
[07:17] <Soup_> anyone here have a working guide to getting Nvidia 8800GTS drivers working?
[07:17] <Tilllinux> how can I login (from the login screen) onto a win2k3server domain?
[07:17] <Tilllinux> Soup_: did you try "envy"?
[07:17] <Pici> erlinux: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/   #ubuntu+1 for further questions.
[07:17] <Soup_> no what is it?
[07:17] <Soup_> Im new
[07:17] <IndyGunFreak> !envy | Soup_
[07:17] <ubotu> Soup_: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[07:17] <pteague_work> cn> yeah i know...  there may be linux drivers for it to interact with the interface, otherwise i don't know... i almost purchased a board that claimed linux support until after googling for it i found that it had proprietary drivers that were a pita to install on linux & they only worked on certain distros...  i'm hoping the intel is better
[07:18] <Soup_> is it in the repository?
[07:18] <cn> ill continue searchin, thanks pteague_work!
[07:18] <IndyGunFreak> Tilllinux: suggesting Envy is terrible advice, Soup_ you'd be wise not to follow it.
[07:18] <Soup_> ok well is there a way to get my video card working?
[07:18] <Tilllinux> IndyGunFreak: it worked better for me than the restricted manager
[07:18] <Tilllinux> with a 7800gt
[07:18] <Pici> !worksforme | Tilllinux
[07:18] <ubotu> Tilllinux: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/
[07:18] <pteague_work> cn> i'm still waiting for the day that you can block several hard drives together & make the mobo itself think they're a single drive
[07:19] <Soup_> cn thats called a RAID set lol
[07:19] <IndyGunFreak> Tilllinux: there's no reason at all to use Envy w/ Nvidia drivers.
[07:19] <Soup_> You can do that now
[07:19] <Strawberryja1> server not found when i try to open the sudo root help page
[07:19] <kyncani> pteague_work: or an lvm
[07:19] <Soup_> Tilllinux can you pm me?
[07:19] <staykovmarin> what is a good tool for ripping DVDs??
[07:20] <kyncani> pteague_work: (oops) software only
[07:20] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: i like ::dvdrip::... acidrip is ok to.
[07:20] <PriceChild> !dvd | staykovmarin
[07:20] <ubotu> staykovmarin: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[07:20] <cn> Soup_: i think that was aimed at pteague_work?
[07:20] <PriceChild> !dvdrip
[07:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvdrip - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:20] <cn> pteague_work: heh yeah.. its my first time playing with this stuff, so im a bit confused about it all but ill get it right :)
[07:20] <Vlet> pteague_work: I have 3 18.6 gig drives set up using raid 5, and as far as ubuntu is concerned, I have a 17 gig drive.
[07:20] <Vlet> that is, 27
[07:20] <Soup_> anyone gotten Nvidia 8800GTS to work!?
[07:21] <Tilllinux> well if IndyGunFreak doesn't want you to use it ;) well I'm relatively new to ubuntu, so maybe he's right ^^
[07:21] <Evanlec> Soup_ what do u mean ?
[07:21] <ramster> Is there any solution to the black window syndrome when using Beryl ?
[07:21] <PriceChild> Soup_, feisty was released before that card and is so not supported. You'll have to install the drivers manually from nvidia.com
[07:21] <Tilllinux> but I'm still looking for a way to logon to a win server domain
[07:21] <IndyGunFreak> Tilllinux: its not just Indygunfreak, stick around the channel, you'll see problems with Envy and Automatix pop up frequently
[07:21] <Pici> Soup_: The beta drivers for nvidia.com to be exact.
[07:21] <Tilllinux> ah k IndyGunFreak
[07:21] <Evanlec> I just ordered a 8800gts :(
[07:22] <pteague_work> yeah, & i have 4 400g drives set up in a software RAID solution & as far as ubuntu is concerned i have 1.2 TB of storage, but it's a SOFTWARE raid, not a hardware raid... if you can show me a hardware raid solution that works 100% with linux, please do
[07:22] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: lol
[07:22] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, ;p
[07:22] <elkbuntu> Tilllinux, yeah, it deleted half of some guy's system last week, because it's silly
[07:22] <ramster> Soup_  have you tried the envy installer for nvidia driver
[07:22] <Tilllinux> hm funny
[07:22] <Evanlec> !envy
[07:22] <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!
[07:22] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: it should work w/ the nvidia driver.
[07:22] <IndyGunFreak> i'm pretty sure.
[07:23] <Evanlec> yea, the beta one tho?
[07:23] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, good point.
[07:23] <IndyGunFreak> shoulda ordered one just a tad older, i told you...lol
[07:23] <Evanlec> bah
[07:23] <Vlet> pteague_work: not sure about sata drive raid hardware, but I had no problem with hardware raid
[07:23] <Evanlec> gutsy needs to hurry up and come out
[07:23] <Soup_> hell is gutsy beta stable?
[07:23] <Pici> Soup_: Its not beta.
[07:23] <Evanlec> ive read that it is
[07:23] <Soup_> if it will install this damn video card I cant get shit to wrk
[07:23] <dejv_ntb> hello
[07:24] <Pici> !ohmy
[07:24] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:24] <Soup_> Sorry
[07:24] <PriceChild> Soup_, gutsy is not beta, nor stable
[07:24] <dejv_ntb> how can I find which patches are used in ubuntu kernel?
[07:24] <IndyGunFreak> its just testing....lol
[07:24] <Tilllinux> hm well IndyGunFreak, I thought envy was just going to install on of the nvidia-drivers...
[07:24] <Soup_> Im just upset that a simple video driver wont install
[07:24] <ramster> i have nvidia and i used the envy installer and it worked for me mind i have an old gc
[07:24] <PriceChild> dejv_ntb, apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r), then read that
[07:24] <Pici> !worksforme > ramster
[07:24] <dejv_ntb> thanks
[07:24] <PriceChild> Soup_, feisty was released before that card and is so not supported. You'll have to install the drivers manually from nvidia.com
[07:24] <Soup_> when your coming from windows and you cant even get video working properly I think it sends a bad signal to users
[07:24] <erlinux> i thought nvidia was better than ati about linux drivers?
[07:25] <PriceChild> erlinux, feisty was released before that card and is so not supported. You'll have to install the drivers manually from nvidia.com
[07:25] <IndyGunFreak> Soup_: no it doesn't
[07:25] <pteague_work> cn> here's another raid faq - http://linux-ata.org/faq-sata-raid.html
[07:25] <Vlet> Soup_: Are you getting a blank screen?
[07:25] <dho_ragus> Soup_: at least the OS boots.  that's more than i can say for my first time installing Vista.
[07:25] <Soup_> yes it crashes the desktop
[07:25] <Znortfl> Upgrading from edgy to feisty broke my connection between php and mysql, what can I do about this?
[07:25] <IndyGunFreak> Soup_: what it says, is hardware manufacturers don't keep support current on anything but windows, if the linux driver were available, it would work on Linux, blame Nvidia, not Linux
[07:25] <Evanlec> erlinux, nvidia is better with the drivers
[07:25] <Soup_> this is my 3rd install so Now I have not installed video
[07:25] <Vlet> Soup_: and are you hooked up through dvi? could you try connecting through vga?
[07:25] <IndyGunFreak> but nvidia is still 10000x  better than ATI
[07:26] <Znortfl> Oh, nevermind, the problem fixed itself ;)
[07:26] <erlinux> i know fglrx makes logouts impossible, but that is fixed in gutsy :)
[07:26] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: what type of card did you say you got/
[07:26] <PriceChild> IndyGunFreak, (nvidia drivers work fine on ubuntu... they just weren't in feisty as its too new)
[07:26] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, 8800gts
[07:26] <PriceChild> (the 8800 drivers at least)
[07:26] <IndyGunFreak> PriceChild: right... i may ave worded that iproperly
[07:26] <noelferreira> hi. sometimes my laptop instead of going to screensaver simple crash with a black screen. i use ati and amd64 with 7.04 ubuntu. any help?
[07:26] <Evanlec> so the driver for 8800 on nvidia website DOES work with feisty?
[07:27] <PriceChild> Evanlec, yes
[07:27] <Tilllinux> uaaah does really noone happen to know how to log into a win-domain from the login scree?
[07:27] <Ruben> guys, check puppylinux. its the best
[07:27] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: its in this list.. PriceChild?  http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-a.html
[07:27] <Evanlec> PriceChild, without a hitch? or is it buggy? how bout with compiz-fusion and the like ?
[07:27] <PriceChild> IndyGunFreak, meh support for >=7900 was broken
[07:27] <PriceChild> Evanlec, "depends"
[07:27] <IndyGunFreak> PriceChild: oh i see.
[07:28] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: beryl/compiz whatever.... isn't that big of a deal, if you have dual scrreens working with ATI, i wouldn't worry about a new card
[07:28] <Stwange> is there any newer support for onboard sound? I installed Ubuntu before and it just squealed all the time (albeit working apart from the squeal)
[07:29] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, yea i spose ur right, but it was time for a new card anyway i tink
[07:29] <PriceChild> Stwange, run a live cd and see
[07:29] <IndyGunFreak> beryl is something you'll use for about 3 days, think, "wow thats cool", then about a week later you'll say, "Why did i install that again".
[07:29] <MattJ> php5-mysql: Depends: php5-common (= 5.2.1-0ubuntu1) but 5.2.1-0ubuntu1.4 is to be installed
[07:29] <MattJ> Any idea?
[07:29] <IndyGunFreak> i like beryl better than compiz, but thats justme
[07:29] <tiziano> bcm43xx-fwcutter still gives error while trying to download the "driver", I've populated manually /lib/firmware now, is it safe to remove fwcutter now?
[07:29] <Soup_> when is new ubuntu coming out?
[07:29] <MattJ> Soup_: October
[07:29] <tschaka> end of october
[07:29] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, for me its important, if im not going to play games on linux i atleast want something nifty to look at
[07:29] <Soup_> I cant deal wiht the bad video Im getting now
[07:29] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: lol..
[07:29] <Itchy^HoBo> vista SP1 got delayed
[07:29] <Evanlec> ;p
[07:29] <Itchy^HoBo> :)
[07:30] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: have you considered cool wallpaper?..lol
[07:30] <Evanlec> hah
[07:30] <PriceChild> !offtopic > Itchy^HoBo
[07:30] <Soup_> Im so considering a MAC
[07:30] <Stwange> PriceChild - I used the current version (7.04) before, I just wondered if there might have been patches or something
[07:30] <PriceChild> Stwange, then no.
[07:30] <jrib> MattJ: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:31] <erlinux> is there a way to install ubuntu, without wasting a CD?
[07:31] <Tilllinux> wasting a dvd
[07:31] <Itchy^HoBo> buy one from dell :)
[07:31] <radioman> ;] 
[07:31] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[07:31] <zerogrounding> heii,, anyone know best linux channel ?
[07:31] <PriceChild> !install | erlinux

[07:31] <radioman> blue-ray ?
[07:31] <PriceChild> erlinux, those are the supported methods in that first link ^
[07:31] <IndyGunFreak> you could do a debian floppy install.
[07:31] <tiziano> !automate

[07:32] <IndyGunFreak> i've been wanting to try that, but don't have a working floppy drive..lol
[07:32] <MattJ> jrib: http://pastebin.ca/677083
[07:32] <Stwange> that's a shame, apart from the lack of sound I liked Ubuntu, but I'm not willing to use it if there is no way of getting the sound working
[07:32] <Ranpha1> does anybody knows how to setup a crossovercable network becuase nothing works
[07:32] <Soup_> is there a way to at least make Ubuntu think Im using an 8600 or something?
[07:32] <staykovmarin> IndyGunFreak: after i have rupped the dvd, is there a way to burn it on another dvd with dvd::rip?
[07:32] <noelferreira> hi. sometimes my laptop instead of going to screensaver simple crash with a black screen. i use ati and amd64 with 7.04 ubuntu. any help?
[07:32] <Soup_> so I can get some graphics
[07:32] <vieirar> Any news on If and When there will be another Ubuntu Long Term Support version?
[07:32] <jrib> MattJ: are you using feisty or gutsy?
[07:32] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: you mean so you can watch it in a regular dvd player?
[07:33] <MattJ> jrib: Feisty
[07:33] <IndyGunFreak> i'm not real sure, to be truthful, i'm sure there, just not sure if its within ::dvdrip::
[07:33] <MattJ> jrib: Gutsy kernel only
[07:33] <jrib> MattJ: then this is bad: deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted
[07:33] <staykovmarin> IndyGunFreak: i am not sure.. i was just told to make a copy of this dvd
[07:33] <primski> vieirar, ubuntu hard, which is gutsy +1, due april 2008 will be LTS
[07:33] <PriceChild> MattJ, Nope You're using gutsy :)
[07:33] <primski> vieirar...ubuntu hardy hard*
[07:33] <IndyGunFreak> Soup_: what do you mean by you "want some graphics"?
[07:33] <MattJ> PriceChild: I'm using Feisty ;)
[07:33] <primski> or smth like that :p
[07:33] <Evanlec> Soup_ install the drivers from nvidia.com
[07:33] <Tomcat_> hardy heron
[07:33] <staykovmarin> IndyGunFreak: so it has to pretty much be an iso mount...
[07:33] <PriceChild> MattJ, no... if you've apt-get upgraded, then you're on gutsy
[07:33] <IndyGunFreak> Tomcat_: is that really the name?
[07:34] <korhalf> Any ideas as to why Compiz-Fusion wont let me rotate the desktop cube..i have my keys bound as alt1 to rotate to face 1, alt2 for face 2 etc.
[07:34] <primski> thats it, thanks tomcat_
[07:34] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: think so.
[07:34] <korhalf> and it doesn't seem to work
[07:34] <Tomcat_> IndyGunFreak: Pretty sure.

[07:34] <IndyGunFreak> !hardy
[07:34] <ubotu> Hardy Heron is the code name for Ubuntu 8.04, due April 2008.
[07:34] <Evanlec> korhalf, i have the same problem ;p
[07:34] <MattJ> PriceChild: Not so... see my /etc/apt/preferences in the same paste
[07:34] <IndyGunFreak> you gotta be kidding me
[07:34] <UncleD> After upgrading from edgy to fiesty I am getting the following error with apache: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: libmysqlclient.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:34] <korhalf> Evanlec: really :), that makes me feel marginally better i guess haha
[07:34] <UncleD> Anyone know how to fix that?
[07:34] <IndyGunFreak> who thinks these names up?
[07:34] <erlinux> for Installation/UpgradeFromOldVersion do you need a cd?
[07:34] <Tomcat_> IndyGunFreak: At least it's not hairy har... /me ducks ;)
[07:34] <vieirar> primski, Thanks we plan on rolling out 10 new PC with Ubuntu in the next yr. I wanted LTS but Dapper is finished in 09 so I would have gotten only y1 yr.
[07:34] <Evanlec> korhalf, yea, i dunno, the cube worked for me with beryl but not much with compiz/fusion
[07:34] <Tilllinux> korhalf: hm, I'm rotating the cube with the default keys alt+strg+leftmouse
[07:35] <PriceChild> MattJ, on your head be it
[07:35] <IndyGunFreak> Dapper was fine, Edgy was fine, Feisty.. eh.., but Hardy Heron
[07:35] <MattJ> PriceChild: Ouch!
[07:35] <PriceChild> IndyGunFreak, #ubuntu-offtopic, and the sabdfl
[07:35] <pteague_work> UncleD> did those packages get updated or deleted when you did the upgrade?
[07:35] <Tilllinux> korhalf: how did you install compiz-fusion?

[07:35] <IRIRIRID> DCC
[07:35] <IRIRIRID> DCC
[07:35] <IRIRIRID> DCC
[07:35] <IRIRIRID> DCC
[07:35] <erlinux>  for Installation/UpgradeFromOldVersion do you need a cd? i dont want to waste a cd when i upgrade from fiesty to gustsy in october
[07:35] <IRIRIRID> DCC
[07:35] <IRIRIRID> DCC
[07:35] <IRIRIRID> DCC
[07:35] <IndyGunFreak> oh geez
[07:35] <korhalf> i followed some guide online
[07:35] <primski> vieirar, yep, hardy will be huge success, cant wait, but will run dapper until then on production servers...
[07:35] <Tilllinux> erlinux: no you dont
[07:35] <osmosis> apache isnt processing my .php files, its pushing them to my browser for download. What to do ?
[07:35] <erlinux> k
[07:35] <MattJ> New meaning to DCC spam?
[07:35] <korhalf> Tilllinux: the ctrl alt first button doesn twork for me
[07:35] <PriceChild> osmosis, sure you have php installed properly?
[07:36] <UncleD> pteague_work: Most likely they got deleted
[07:36] <MattJ> Thanks for the help jrib, PriceChild, I have to hit the road, so I'm sure I'll sort it out
[07:36] <osmosis> PriceChild: yah, i have wikimedia running which is php based...so.
[07:36] <jrib> MattJ: check what 'apt-cache policy PACKAGE' is saying for the two relevant packages
[07:36] <Tilllinux> korhalf: need to reboot
[07:36] <UncleD> pteague_work: I re-downloaded php5 src and re-compiled it to no avail.
[07:36] <pteague_work> debian based distros have the best way to upgrade i think... change the name, then aptitude update, aptitude dist-upgrade... done
[07:36] <Tilllinux> I mean, I need to reboot, coming back soon
[07:36] <IndyGunFreak> primski: wha tmakes you think hardy will be more successful than feisty?
[07:36] <staykovmarin> anny clues on a DVD ripping program?? synaptic only has cd-rips
[07:36] <vieirar> primski, any links to the plans for it. I like to read it we run Dapper on a few servers now. The 10 PC will be workstations,
[07:36] <UncleD> pteague_work: Thats what I used.
[07:36] <PriceChild> staykovmarin, k9copy
[07:36] <pteague_work> UncleD> oh, you're compiling your own... hmm... not sure then :(
[07:37] <Lichte> why is there no inittab in /etc ?
[07:37] <primski> IndyGunFreak, well, for servers at least, given that LTS is better long-term solution for servers in terms of safety and stability
[07:37] <UncleD> pteague_work: only because the non-complied version broke
[07:37] <doktoreas> hi to all

[07:37] <Dial_tone> can anyone recommend a usb webcam that is ubuntu-compatible?
[07:37] <primski> vieirar, no sorry, nothing on my mind, check ubuntu.com, proly some links there
[07:37] <vieirar> primski, nevermind I googled it

[07:38] <doktoreas> the only trouble is that the impeller is always on
[07:38] <earthmeLon> Hey you guys. I guess you can only have about 1000 files open at a time on linux. Is there any way to fix this? >_<
[07:38] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: ?.. really?.. Feisty is awesome.

[07:39] <Ranpha1> how can i setup debian to use a second network card that connects of to a PC with a crossover cable
[07:39] <CoasterMaster> PriceChild, yeah forgot the !
[07:39] <m4v|away> Lichte: 2 I think
[07:39] <PriceChild> CoasterMaster, ahh sorry... :)
[07:39] <CoasterMaster> PriceChild: it's cool :)
[07:39] <Pici> !away > m4v3r1ck
[07:39] <earthmeLon> Does anybody know how to change the amount of files allowed to be open at once on ubuntu?
[07:39] <jrib> Ranpha1: ask in #debian
[07:39] <fireman_> its formatted to NTFS
[07:40] <PriceChild> CoasterMaster, I'll just add that as an alias to piracy..
[07:40] <IndyGunFreak> CoasterMaster: lol, i'd have really came down hard on him for that..lol
[07:40] <Lichte> m4v3r1ck: why is there no inittab in /etc ??
[07:40] <CoasterMaster> fireman_ you need to install ntfs-3g to write to NFTS drives
[07:40] <Ranpha1> woops jrib should have said ubuntu .....not that i t= really matters both the same ,,,
[07:40] <fireman_> apt-get install ntfs-3g ?
[07:40] <CoasterMaster> IndyGunFreak: haha, I'll let him slide....this time
[07:40] <Vlet> Is there a way to start two instances of gedit? Normally, when you 'launch' it a second time, it opens a second tab.
[07:40] <CoasterMaster> fireman_: yes
[07:40] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[07:40] <CoasterMaster> !ntfs-3g | fireman_
[07:40] <ubotu> fireman_: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[07:40] <fireman_> 1sec
[07:40] <jrib> Ranpha1: ah
[07:40] <Pici> earthmeLon: Whats are you trying to do?
[07:41] <Lichte> what has /etc/inittab been replaced with ??
[07:41] <jrib> Vlet: man gedit  suggests using --new-window
[07:41] <Ranpha1> jrib lol :-) ,,,so replace debian by ubuntu ...could i get a answer then?
[07:41] <fireman_> I'll have to use synaptic as I'm not logged on as root
[07:41] <earthmeLon> Pici: I'm trying to open a lot of files at once :D
[07:41] <Vlet> jrib: Thanks :)
[07:41] <IndyGunFreak> fireman_: you should never be logged in as root.
[07:41] <jrib> Ranpha1: sure, if someone knows
[07:41] <erlinux> fireman: use sudo -i
[07:41] <Pici> earthmeLon: There should not be a discernable limit
[07:41] <fireman_> I know that IndyGunFreak but I couldn't use terminal for some reason
[07:42] <fireman_> it said locked or something
[07:42] <IndyGunFreak> sigh....
[07:42] <CoasterMaster> fireman_: the root account is locked, you can't use it
[07:42] <CoasterMaster> fireman_: instead, we use 'sudo' to run things as root
[07:42] <fireman_> silly man
[07:42] <Ranpha1> jrib i see ..well i thought giving static address on both pc would make them work but nada
[07:42] <fireman_> sorry guys
[07:42] <earthmeLon> Pici, there is like a 1000 file limit to be open at one time. v_v
[07:42] <IndyGunFreak> fireman_: you probably had something open(like synaptic), that was using root access, one root access priv. at a time
[07:43] <multiverse> Hi all.  Anyone here willing to work with me on xorg issues?
[07:43] <doktoreas> is it normal that my fan is always on?
[07:43] <IndyGunFreak> !ask | multiverse
[07:43] <ubotu> multiverse: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:43] <fireman_> bear with me, as  I finally installed ubuntu for the first time on my desktop :D I've only been using live cd's and the onyl time I ever used ubuntu is on my gameserver.
[07:43] <fireman_> only*
[07:43] <fireman_> I picked up a 500GB hdd today
[07:43] <fireman_> put everything on that, and put ubuntu on my second hard-drive.
[07:44] <noelferreira> hi. sometimes my laptop instead of going to screensaver simple crash with a black screen. i use ati and amd64 with 7.04 ubuntu. any help?
[07:44] <Ktron> Is there a way to check the status of a service in ubuntu? I'm looking for fedora's builtin service X status, or (I think) gentoo's rc-status
[07:44] <fireman_> I hate grub with a passion, and partitions for that matter. It kept screwing me over IndyGunFreak I lost all my data when I installed SuSE 10.
[07:44] <warbler> noelferreira: the bios settings could be doing that
[07:44] <IndyGunFreak> fireman_: then that was your own fault, should have backedup
[07:45] <noelferreira> warbler, what should i see?
[07:45] <kbrooks_> so, i need some advice.
[07:45] <fireman_> IndyGunFreak, I know it was, now I have learned from my mistake and have obtained an external.
[07:45] <IndyGunFreak> kbrooksthats what we specialize in, ask your question
[07:45] <warbler> noelferreira: some bios have a setting to turn off vid & hd
[07:45] <fireman_> I leave windows on one drive and ubuntu on another, problem solved.
[07:45] <IndyGunFreak> fireman_: i guess we all have to learn at some point... at least you apparently learned your lesson
[07:46] <kbrooks_> well, what is transparency?
[07:46] <erlinux> when gustsy comes out will there be torrents on the site
[07:46] <IndyGunFreak> kbrookswell, by definition, means you can see through something
[07:46] <lee__> guys i think i just managed to blow up this new os i just installed :P can anyone help :)
[07:46] <IndyGunFreak> kbrooks:  well, by definition, means you can see through something
[07:46] <Tilllinux> well doesn't envy just install the nvidia-packages for me?
[07:46] <CoasterMaster> lee__: what seems to the the problem
[07:46] <CoasterMaster> !envy | Tillinux
[07:46] <ubotu> Tillinux: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[07:46] <erlinux> lee_: reinstall!
[07:47] <Tilllinux> i know what it is...
[07:47] <CoasterMaster> Tilllinux: yeah, but every time I've used envy i've been left with a wrecked system
[07:47] <fireman_> indeed IndyGunFreak :) Ubuntu is one of the reasons why I use linux. The first disto I tried was redhat. Boy did I make a mistake of the century.
[07:47] <IndyGunFreak> Tilllinux: then if you want to use it, use it, just don't come here whining when it doesn't work
[07:47] <fireman_> Fedora is ok, but redhat was just aweful.
[07:47] <erlinux> lee_: reinstall!, ive destroyed many installations of many distros, if you have the cd reinstall
[07:47] <gilster> does anyone have an Asus A8V-E mobo?
[07:47] <IndyGunFreak> ya.
[07:47] <kbrooks_> IndyGunFreak, i wasn't really asking what "transparent" meant. i was trying to ask what *transparency* is in terms of conversation
[07:47] <BobSapp> lol redhat
[07:47] <noelferreira> warbler, what shoul i see in bios?
[07:47] <Tilllinux> IndyGunFreak: I am using it :p
[07:47] <fireman_> :fist: Tilllinux
[07:47] <lee__> CoasterMaster: well i installed the nvidia drivers via a app called automatix then rebooted and now the X error thing says that nvidia drivers are 1.something and X is 1. a lower number? can this be fixed without reinstalling as i dont have my disk here
[07:48] <lee__> erlinux: no disk mate?
[07:48] <IndyGunFreak> kbrooks:  well what exactly are you referrign to, be more specific.
[07:48] <erlinux> lee: k
[07:48] <lee__> erlinux: i left it at my shop :P
[07:48] <CoasterMaster> lee__: not sure, I don't have an nvidia card, so I'm not sure what the problems are....sorry :(
[07:48] <IndyGunFreak> Tilllinux: as was said...
[07:48] <IndyGunFreak> !worksforme
[07:48] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/
[07:48] <Tilllinux> fireman_: well, as I haven't got problems using it (until updating tu gutsy) I'll better leave it as it is
[07:48] <erlinux> lee_: uhh, i dont know then
[07:48] <Tilllinux> but that's not my problem
[07:48] <fireman_> hmm
[07:48] <karranas> CoasterMaster: did you back up your xorg.conf file first?
[07:49] <fireman_> i seem to be having the same error, must I reboot for the stuff to work IndyGunFreak ?
[07:49] <lee__> CoasterMaster: it would help if i knew what i was actualy doing :P but from what the report says it basicaly says nvidia is newer than X so surley updating x would fix it?
[07:49] <erlinux> is there a way to repair a install without the disk?
[07:49] <Tilllinux> the problem is loggin into a domain-account (ubuntu-client -> win-server)
[07:49] <kbrooks> IndyGunFreak, (sorry) uh, when you say you will be transparent, what does that mean?
[07:49] <xIke> soldier: anyone answer you about tgz?
[07:49] <gilster> need help with an ASUS AV8 board?
[07:49] <erlinux> tgz? dont you use gunzip?
[07:49] <IndyGunFreak> kbrooks: i have no idea what the hell you are talking about.. what are you trying to do.
[07:49] <kbrooks> xIke, soldier: what is your question?
[07:50] <xIke> kbrooks: I'm fine.  just got disconnected and wanted to see if someone helped him :P
[07:50] <hashfreak> hello
[07:50] <lee__> does anyone know how i can update X?
[07:50] <fireman_> brb fellas
[07:50] <fireman_> going to restart
[07:50] <PriceChild> lee__, why?
[07:50] <notchNICK> Does anyone know if it is possible to retreive data if a partition got marked with an exclamation mark while using gparted cd?
[07:50] <ifreeze> PriceChild, is that even possible?
[07:50] <PriceChild> ifreeze, is what?
[07:51] <multiverse> Here's my question:  I just installed Ubuntu 7.04 64 bit onto a Lenovo Thinkpad R61 (a very new notebook).  I started it up in vga=792 mode and installed a new package like so:  apt-get install nvidia-glx-new for the nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M, PC Card/ PCIe.  I want to switch from the vga to the nVIDIA, but I don't know how.
[07:51] <ifreeze> PriceChild, update x
[07:51] <CoasterMaster> karranas: it was a while ago, but it's ok
[07:51] <kbrooks> ah, "This concept requires negotiations and agreements to be openly arrived at and openly presented so that all can know and understand the process and terms."
[07:51] <IndyGunFreak> kbrooks: here's a transparent terminal..  http://s82.photobucket.com/albums/j263/IndyGunFreak/?action=view&current=desktop1.jpg
[07:51] <kbrooks> IndyGunFreak, i was asking about that ^^^
[07:51] <korhalf> how can i check the size of a folder
[07:51] <PriceChild> ifreeze, this is technology... anything is possible. Whether you should do it/is worth it is completely different.
[07:51] <korhalf> does it involve the command df?
[07:51] <lee__> PriceChild: because x wont load so i apt-get install nvidia-glx and now it says nvidia driver is newer than x so i think i need to update x
[07:51] <multiverse> korhalf:  ls -lh
[07:51] <cntb> \o all
[07:51] <PriceChild> lee__, no it doesn't say that :)
[07:51] <multiverse> korhalf:  sudo ls -lh
[07:51] <ifreeze> PriceChild, lol never updated my X...
[07:51] <IndyGunFreak> kbrooks: then you should have just came out and said it.
[07:52] <kbrooks> IndyGunFreak, okjay
[07:52] <PriceChild> lee__, what card do you have?
[07:52] <korhalf> multiverse: that tells me each file
[07:52] <korhalf> multiverse: can i check the folder itself
[07:52] <lee__> PriceChild: ok i have an nvidia 6800gt i think
[07:52] <PriceChild> lee__, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[07:52] <multiverse> korhalf:  do you want to know that cumulative total of files in the folder and the branches?
[07:52] <PriceChild> lee__, then see if that works well for you :)
[07:52] <karranas> CoasterMaster: so just revert to the old conf file and start over from there
[07:52] <earthmeLon> an out-the-box ubuntu system has file-max set to 205290
[07:52] <korhalf> yes, im jus ttrying to see if my Music folder from windows
[07:52] <IndyGunFreak> kbrooks: another example, although berylized, it has a transparent terminal, and xchat
[07:52] <lee__> PriceChild: ok il go do that brb
[07:52] <korhalf> transfered alright
[07:52] <IndyGunFreak> http://s82.photobucket.com/albums/j263/IndyGunFreak/?action=view&current=beryl.jpg

[07:56] <IndyGunFreak> PriceChild: whats the -phigh do?.. never saw that
[07:56] <cki> but i want to use the driver :(
[07:57] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, u ever try 64-bit ubuntu?
[07:57] <PriceChild> IndyGunFreak, priority high
[07:57] <cntb> nobody
[07:57] <PriceChild> IndyGunFreak, means only questions with a high priority get asked
[07:57] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: no... to many things don't wrk
[07:57] <zegevrijt> ubuntu needs a centrelized hardware configuration tool like harddrake.. all these seperate tools driving people nuts
[07:57] <IndyGunFreak> PriceChild: oh ok.. makes sense.. not all the stupid stuff.
[07:57] <notchNICK> Does anyone know if it is possible to retreive data if a partition got marked with an exclamation mark while using gparted cd?
[07:57] <cki> i need ( i think it was ) 1680 x 1240
[07:57] <warbler> !synaptic
[07:57] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, i read that u just have to install 32-bit firefox and then the flash/java stuff is ok
[07:57] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[07:57] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: but then, to my knowledge, w32codecs don't work.
[07:58] <IndyGunFreak> so if you don't use any windows media files, you'll be fine.
[07:58] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, video codecs dont work?
[07:58] <IndyGunFreak> no.
[07:58] <multiverse> korhaf:  use the du command:  http://www.codecoffee.com/tipsforlinux/articles/22.html
[07:58] <Ranpha1> is it possible to use crossover network on linux?
[07:58] <zegevrijt> vlc can play wmv by default
[07:58] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, what about xvid/ffdshow stuff?
[07:58] <[fireman] > eurgh not again
[07:58] <cki> PriceChild thanks ill restart the X server :) and ill come back :)
[07:58] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: opensource ones probably work ok..., ist the windows formats/closed formats you'll likely have issues with(avi, mp3, etc.)
[07:58] <[fireman] > I installed that ntfs-3g via synaptic and still ktorrent doesn't save
[07:58] <IndyGunFreak> Evanlec: note..*probably*
[07:58] <[fireman] > its giving me the same error.
[07:59] <Evanlec> i c
[07:59] <zegevrijt> libacodec can play a lot of stuff
[07:59] <Evanlec> zegevrijt, u using 64-bit?
[07:59] <multiverse> Here's my question:  I just installed Ubuntu 7.04 64 bit onto a Lenovo Thinkpad R61 (a very new notebook).  I started it up in vga=792 mode and installed a new package like so:  apt-get install nvidia-glx-new for the nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M, PC Card/ PCIe.  I want to switch from the vga to the nVIDIA, but I don't know how.
[07:59] <zegevrijt> not currently although one of the pc's is 64 bit it runs 32 bit now
[08:00] <Evanlec> what was your experience with it?
[08:00] <PriceChild> multiverse, system > admin > restricted drivers manager
[08:00] <multiverse> PriceChild:  I can't get X to come up.
[08:00] <PriceChild> multiverse, why not?
[08:00] <multiverse> I am in VGA mode at the moment.
[08:01] <zegevrijt> qwhen i had 64bit os on it i had trbouble with ati drivers and some stuff but that was la year ago
[08:01] <Evanlec> ah
[08:01] <PriceChild> multiverse, oh sorry i'm with you
[08:01] <zegevrijt> is there a wine now for 64 bit?
[08:01] <PriceChild> multiverse, what driver is /etc/X11/xorg.conf using?
[08:01] <multiverse> there is no xorg.conf
[08:02] <IndyGunFreak> then that explains your problem
[08:02] <PriceChild> multiverse, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[08:02] <Ktron> Trying to find cli ways to check the status of a service (running/stopped) and report the version of ubuntu
[08:03] <Kousotu> what does "repair a broken system" do? and whatare the differences between a GFX install and a text one?
[08:03] <bruenig> Ktron, more specific?
[08:03] <Ktron> bruenig, about which part?
[08:04] <bruenig> Ktron, well which service are you talking about, does this service have anything in it that reports these sorts of things, etc.
[08:04] <CoasterMaster> Kton: do display the version of Ubuntu you're using, cat /etc/issue
[08:04] <doktoreas> how can i reduce the cpu speed?
[08:04] <IndyGunFreak> text is well, text
[08:05] <Ktron> bruenig, its my company's service, and I'm trying to avoid asking them to build in more functionality
[08:05] <Kousotu> besides the obvious difference
[08:05] <Ktron> bruenig, fedora core lets you do 'service servicename status'
[08:05] <Ktron> bruenig, and (I think) gentoo let's you do 'rc-status servicename'
[08:05] <bruenig> Ktron, oh you mean daemon, ok  you were using fedora aliases
[08:05] <Ktron> bruenig, yes, sorry, I do mean daemon
[08:06] <ubuntu> hello
[08:06] <ubuntu> anyone alive
[08:06] <urthmover> no
[08:06] <multiverse> no
[08:06] <EchoBinary> yes!
[08:06] <urthmover> well kinda
[08:06] <ramster> not much longer
[08:06] <bruenig> Ktron, not sure for ubuntu, they do have a variet of rc* commands, might try doing rc<tab><tab> and seeing what looks good
[08:06] <keito> HELP! just changed my monitor from a sony 15" CRT to a 22" and now the picture doesn't fit thescreen properly.  had a look at my xorg.conf and it's still showing the old monitor settings.  where can I find the correct ones??????????

[08:08] <keito> do I have to reconfigure my X server then?
[08:08] <Mark_newb> hello
[08:08] <bruenig> keito, yeah, how else are you expecting to change the settings to meet your new configuration?
[08:08] <Mark_newb> just a couple questions about installing

[08:08] <keito> I'm new to this
[08:08] <keito> 80)
[08:08] <keito> wouldn't know where to begin reconfiguring X
[08:08] <Mark_newb> when i go to install ubuntu i am getting errrors when i have it automatically partition
[08:09] <Ktron> CoasterMaster, thanks for cat /etc/issue
[08:09] <ylle> hey guys, I got this thing "new distribution release 7.04..." in my update manager thing.
[08:09] <bruenig> Ktron, well, I am not sure, I am not using ubuntu so I can't check that out, I know how to do it on arch
[08:09] <ylle> How much time/wait is it?
[08:09] <urthmover> irssi is the best irc client ever
[08:09] <ylle> And, should I press the update it?
[08:09] <Ktron> bruenig, just for refrence, what's it on Arch?
[08:09] <ferronica> can i install window 98se over ubuntu
[08:09] <cki> :( nuffin
[08:09] <urthmover> over?
[08:10] <Evanlec> why would u want to install 98se
[08:10] <aricz> games?
[08:10] <urthmover> inside vmware or Xen
[08:10] <keito> bruenig: can this potentially mess up my current setup?
[08:10] <bruenig> Ktron, on arch when a daemon is launched via init at least, the name of the daemon is touched in /var/run/daemons, so you have empty text files for all the things
[08:10] <urthmover> just do XP and use compat mode
[08:10] <keito> bruenig: do I choose vesa at the start for instance?
[08:10] <IndyGunFreak> ferronica: youc an, but it will be a pain in the.... easiest thing to do, install windows, thenn reinstall ubuntu.
[08:10] <bruenig> keito, it is meant to mess up your current setup, your current setup is wrong
[08:10] <aricz> not the same.. besides, you won't get "pure dosmode"..
[08:11] <keito> bruenig: I *mean* with compiz-fusion at al
[08:11] <ferronica> IndyGunFrea: okay
[08:11] <Ktron> bruenig, /var/run looks like it might have a useful file so I can write something
[08:11] <Ktron> bruenig, thanks
[08:11] <llanes> how im conectt to chaneel of ubuntu argentina?
[08:11] <ferronica> IndyGunFrea: so i have to format my HDD right
[08:11] <IndyGunFreak> ferronica: i guess it goes w/o sayng, make sure important files, etc, are backed up.
[08:11] <cki> so someone got idea? :S why my X server dont stars with NVidia driver on 6200 :S
[08:11] <keito> bruenig: is there no way to auto-detect the current setup?
[08:11] <IndyGunFreak> ferronica: just insert youur 98SE disk, and let it format the whole drive and install.
[08:12] <ferronica> IndyGunFrea: okay thanx
[08:12] <IndyGunFreak> then boot your Ubuntu disk, and reinstall ubuntu, and then restore your files from your backup

[08:13] <Zenom> man i wish my host used ubuntu server instead of debian

[08:13] <Crustacean-Bob> Speech | anyone?
[08:13] <IndyGunFreak> Zenom: they're almost identical.
[08:13] <IndyGunFreak> well, that is one difference
[08:13] <Mark_newb> indy says it can't unmount
[08:14] <cki> Anyone can help me with NVidia drivers on 6200 please?
[08:14] <Zenom> IndyGunFreak: yeah the packages, i mean memcached 1.1.12 in stable

[08:14] <IndyGunFreak> Mark_newb: well thats not a very good explanation of your problem
[08:14] <monkeyBox> Ugh.. I'm trying to change my keybindings in compiz-fusion for window resizing to Mod4-Mouse2,  but It's not accepting my changes.  Even when I disable the conflicting one.
[08:15] <art> hello -
[08:15] <art> i cant update my 6.12 to 7,04 - i have that error
[08:15] <ajay> can someone please help?
[08:15] <kanuha> cki, did you enable the restricted drivers?
[08:16] <cki> it says i dont need one :S
[08:16] <warbler> who can help with chmod syntax?
[08:16] <Crustacean-Bob> Art: how about sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[08:16] <cki> nothin there :S
[08:16] <Mark_newb> indy guy i go install ubuntu and after it does the partition scan and i tell it to do guided-entire disk it goes to start the install and then comes back and says that the required changes cannot be commited because it cannot unmount /media/new\040volume
[08:16] <art> let me chceck
[08:16] <cki> i tryed last time but the X server dont stars again :(
[08:16] <art> :)
[08:16] <ajay> im thinking of getting ubuntu but need to know if it will erase my xp
[08:16] <ajay> ?
[08:16] <monkeyBox> It's wierd, because it changes to <Super>Button2 for half a second, then changes back to <Alt>Button2
[08:16] <iehova> Ajay, if you choose to
[08:16] <IndyGunFreak> ajay: only if you tell it to.
[08:16] <shade_> 
[08:16] <ajay> so is it clear
[08:16] <Crustacean-Bob> warbler: what about chmod?
[08:17] <kanuha> cki, did you try installing using synaptic?
[08:17] <ajay> then will it let me choose to boot ubuntu or xp?
[08:17] <art> i have full updatet ubuntu 6,12 and cant update it to 7,04
[08:17] <iehova> ajay, the first option for partitioning in the installer dialog is toresize the existing partition (which will be XP) and install ubuntu on the rest. This allows for a dual boot.
[08:17] <IndyGunFreak> ajay: its pretty easy...
[08:17] <ajay> ok
[08:17] <iehova> You will be able to select ubuntu or xp on startup with GRUB
[08:17] <Crustacean-Bob> art: try a new livecd of 7.4
[08:17] <[fireman] > hmm IndyGunFreak
[08:17] <IndyGunFreak> ajay: how do you plan to install your system?
[08:17] <ajay> im gonna get it so i dont partition?
[08:17] <sbahra> hi
[08:17] <[fireman] > my external is mounted as ready only
[08:17] <[fireman] > and it says
[08:17] <monkeyBox> none of my keybindings work in compiz.  I can't even use the default ones :-(
[08:17] <cki> kanuha i installed with Envy and it makes the Xorg.conf but the X dont starts again
[08:17] <ajay> with xp and ubuntu
[08:17] <sbahra> i wunt to use ubuntu?
[08:17] <[fireman] >  You are not the owner , so you can't change these permissions?!!?!
[08:18] <cki> then i tryed with Automatix 2
[08:18] <[fireman] > how can I change the perms to 777 /
[08:18] <sbahra> does ubuntu have office with it?
[08:18] <cki> and same stuff :S
[08:18] <art> i dont have free cd and need to instal it now;/
[08:18] <[fireman] > sbahra, yes
[08:18] <[fireman] > Open Office
[08:18] <IndyGunFreak> ajay: i mean, do you plan to have xp on one drive, ubuntu on another, or partition the 1 drive, for XP and Ubuntu to share.
[08:18] <sbahra> [fireman] ,  chmod 777
[08:18] <shade_> how can i view the user list in xchat ?
[08:18] <IndyGunFreak> or what else?

[08:18] <IndyGunFreak> ajay: on one drive?
[08:18] <[fireman] > sbahra, how do I do that to my external?
[08:18] <art> i have something like that
[08:18] <ajay> yes
[08:18] <IndyGunFreak> ok..
[08:18] <Mark_newb> indygunfreak i go install ubuntu and after it does the partition scan and i tell it to do guided-entire disk it goes to start the install and then comes back and says that the required changes cannot be commited because it cannot unmount /media/new\040volume
[08:18] <IndyGunFreak> ajay: obvioiusly, make sure you have a good backup
[08:18] <sbahra> [fireman] , oh, you have to upgrade the mount to rw.
[08:18] <Crustacean-Bob> art what do you get when you try dist-upgrade?
[08:19] <warbler> Crustacean-Bob: the syntax to change write permissions - I think it is - sudo chmod -Rv me:me /dev/ card#
[08:19] <sbahra> but i go now ;[
[08:19] <art> that my version dont need any updates
[08:19] <IndyGunFreak> Mark_newb: are you installing from the Live CD?
[08:19] <ajay> but can i definantly do it
[08:19] <kanuha> cki, it may be tryint to use a resolution or color depth your card doesn't support. You can try to edit your xorg.conf file manually.
[08:19] <ajay> i cant take the risk of losing things on xp
[08:19] <AdemoS|Away> Okay quick question, I just got a pre-instlled computer with Fiesty. But since I'm a linux newbie, I can't figure out which mount I'm supposed to put STUFF in. As in Downloads, Art projects, photos, music etc. I can't seem to find a directory where I can create a new folder...
[08:19] <Ranpha1> Does anybody KNOWS the setting for a crossover network setup???? because not even google knows this

[08:19] <ryanakca> Is there a way to add new users, from a file containing 'username:password' or 'username:shell:password', or of the same format as that for FreeBSD's 'adduser -f <filenam>'? (Or a way to easily add 35 users)

[08:27] <kanuha> cki, you can use that command to view the file and see what resolutions are listed. Then you can delete any that your card doesn't support.

[08:29] <IndyGunFreak> ajay: thats good..
[08:29] <CoasterMaster> iehova: it's ok if you remove ubuntu-desktop, it's a metapackage that doesn't really contain everything, it just depends on all packages that are installed as a part of the standard ubuntu install.  it will be 'removed' because desktop-effects is part of the standard ubuntu install
[08:29] <multiverse> (10:59:39 AM) multiverse: Here's my question:  I just installed Ubuntu 7.04 64 bit onto a Lenovo Thinkpad R61 (a very new notebook).  I started it up in vga=792 mode and installed a new package like so:  apt-get install nvidia-glx-new for the nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M, PC Card/ PCIe.  I want to switch from the vga to the nVIDIA, but I don't know how.

[08:30] <Xero> Hi, Is there someone who can help me install ubuntu on my laptop?
[08:30] <IndyGunFreak> ajay: remember when you burnt he ISO to a disk, burn it SLOW..
[08:30] <ajay> so is ubuntu good
[08:30] <IndyGunFreak> ajay: i love it, only have Windows for my GPS device.
[08:30] <rambo3> !paste
[08:30] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[08:30] <CoasterMaster> ajay: yes, but I admit I'm biased
[08:30] <ajay> can i mount it to daemon tool?
[08:30] <IndyGunFreak> ajay: know nothing of that, i don't know.
[08:30] <astro76> ajay, no
[08:30] <CoasterMaster> ajay: no, you have to actually burn it to a CD to install
[08:30] <ajay> ok
[08:30] <aarcane> how do I install Ubuntu into an LVM group ?
[08:30] <[fireman] > astro76,
[08:31] <astro76> aarcane, you need the alternate install cd
[08:31] <[fireman] > I enabled write for external devices
[08:31] <aarcane> astro76, oh
[08:31] <Kousotu> aarcane: the text instalerhas that feature I believe
[08:31] <[fireman] > yet I still can't copy files
[08:31] <[fireman] > whats up
[08:31] <[fireman] > do I need to remount it?
[08:31] <CoasterMaster> [fireman]  you have to remount
[08:31] <[fireman] > reboot?
[08:31] <iehova> CoasterMaster, but might it not break upgrading? From Synaptic: "[ubuntu desktop]  is also used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not be removed.
[08:31] <Strawberryjam> ok that seems easy enough thank you...linux is much easier than i figured it would be...thanks to ubuntu
[08:31] <[fireman] > ahh l
[08:31] <[fireman] > thanks CoasterMaster
[08:31] <an0malist> Could someone tell me why this line ruins my sudoers file?
[08:31] <an0malist> www-data	ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/adduser /bin/chmod
[08:31] <aarcane> Kousotu, I'm trying to install it side by side with another distro (preferably sharing a /boot) using LVM
[08:31] <an0malist> that block is a tab
[08:32] <Kousotu> why is the text installer so slow?
[08:32] <kanuha> cki, you will find the info under 'section screen'. a safe bet would be 1024x768 with defaultdepth at 24.
[08:32] <CoasterMaster> iehova: i'm not sure, i know removing it won't have any immediate effects, but you also don't really have to remove desktop-effects....it's your choice
[08:32] <Strawberryjam> how can i maually remove the xorg.conf.backup files...need to save a new configuration
[08:32] <cki> ye i know it i tryed it.. :S
[08:32] <iehova> CoasterMaster, Ok, thanks then
[08:32] <Xero> I'm having trouble installing ubuntu to my Laptop, can anyone help me?

[08:33] <staykovmarin> Strawberryjam, rm??
[08:33] <Kousotu> Xero: hopefully, wht's the problem?
[08:33] <IndyGunFreak> Strawberryjam: you'll have to use sudo for access to that file.
[08:33] <danbygrace> hey I found it
[08:33] <lee__> ok guys thanks for fixing X for me but now i have a bigger problem
[08:33] <Strawberryjam> nvidia wont save the xconfog file as it has to remove the old backups or rewrite them
[08:33] <kanuha> iehova, I installed fusion and I had to uninstall ubuntu-desktop. system still works great after.
[08:33] <Xero> When I use the CD, it looks like it's booting into the Live CD OS, but it just goes to a black screen afterward
[08:33] <yml> hello

[08:34] <warbler> usser: sda1 is the memory card
[08:34] <Xero> I know it works, because it came up once
[08:34] <danbygrace> do you recomend Avast?
[08:34] <kanuha> cki, try switching the driver from 'nvidia' back to 'nv' and see it x somes up.
[08:34] <Xero> Now it gives me some strange error message
[08:35] <Kousotu> Xero: run in safe mode
[08:35] <Strawberryjam> 15 mins to download of feisty left :)
[08:35] <astro76> an0malist, you need commas to separate the paths, so: www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/adduser, /bin/chmo
[08:35] <warbler> usser: hda... is the hard drive
[08:35] <bagualas> better option to desklets is the gdesklets?
[08:35] <lee__> i think ive broken ubuntu again :P
[08:35] <multiverse>  I restart my laptop and am eventually greeted with a blue screen that says the X server failed to start.  I review the error message and get this:

[08:35] <astro76> an0malist, also are you using visudo?
[08:35] <Kousotu> if it appears, it's probably the only plce it will
[08:35] <xjkx> my printer has only the black color, the other ones are out. Cups cant print, i think it uses the colors even though i want it to just print the black color, i am using "Color Model:  Grayscale"

[08:37] <warbler> usser: yes
[08:37] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok.
[08:37] <usser> warbler if so first you have to mount the drive
[08:37] <usser> warbler do sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[08:37] <Xero> Kousotu: it looks like the same thing
[08:37] <lee__> anyone Free for a minuite or two?
[08:37] <warbler> usser: drive mountedread only
[08:37] <yml> ok thank you

[08:37] <usser> warbler umount it then
[08:37] <Kousotu> Xero: did it open?
[08:37] <ubuntulover> can I use synaptic to find all installed packages that don't exist in the repositories (list manually installed packages from .deb files)?
[08:37] <aj_> IndyGunFreak any ideas
[08:37] <Xero> No
[08:37] <usser> warbler do sudo umount /dev/sda1
[08:38] <IndyGunFreak> aj_: no.. sorry
[08:38] <warbler> usser: have & remounted
[08:38] <Xero> The CD drive just stopped spinning
[08:38] <Kousotu> o, you ned the alt then
[08:38] <Kousotu> ok*
[08:38] <Kasuko> May I request some help? I am looking to install SyncEvolution and I downloaded the .deb from the sourceforge page but when I opened it with Package Installer I get the Error Wrong Architecture 'armel'. Any thoughts?
[08:38] <aj_> anybody else have any ideas
[08:38] <warbler> usser: maybe windows type formatting prob?
[08:38] <usser> warbler where did u mount it?
[08:38] <lee__> i have a simple issue :) just waiting for someone to be free
[08:38] <usser> warbler nah unlikely
[08:38] <warbler> K
[08:38] <zerogroundin1> hallo
[08:39] <Xero> This is a fresh Hard drive, could that attribute to the problem?
[08:39] <warbler> usser: media
[08:39] <usser> warbler most likely since its mounted with sudo only root has writing access to it
[08:39] <ubuntulover> how can I find a list of all packages that were installed from .deb files?
[08:39] <usser> warbler so try accessing it as root
[08:39] <warbler> chown says I own it
[08:39] <subpar> is it recommended that I not write data to my NTFS hard drives?
[08:39] <kanuha> lee__, ask your question
[08:39] <usser> warbler hm is it NTFS?
[08:39] <Evanlec> subpar, u can write to ntfs drives no problem
[08:39] <lee__> kanuha,  is this wrong for a dvd rom drive ? /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[08:40] <Kousotu> Xero: not at all
[08:40] <Xero> ok
[08:40] <subpar> Evanlec, I just need to set the permissions then right? I remember back in 6.06, people were telling me not to do it, since it could make my drives unstable
[08:40] <ubuntulover> subpar I use ntfs3g and never had any problems. If there are problems, the drive mounts as read-only
[08:40] <IndyGunFreak> subpar: it still can..,
[08:40] <Kasuko> May I request some help? I am looking to install SyncEvolution and I downloaded the .deb from the sourceforge page but when I opened it with Package Installer I get the Error Wrong Architecture 'armel'. Any thoughts?
[08:40] <Evanlec> subpar, yea what he said
[08:40] <lee__> kanuha, because i just swaped a cd drive for a dvd rom drive and now its not working and i dont understand why i only jumped from winblows today :)
[08:40] <Kousotu> Xero: you need to grab the alternate install cd
[08:41] <ubuntulover> subpar but usually that is fixed by restarting into windows and then back to your real system
[08:41] <dorana> hi, anyone know anyway to get latest flashplayer on Ununtux64?
[08:41] <warbler> usser:no
[08:41] <subpar> oh but I don't have any windows now
[08:41] <Xero> So that means this CD is bad?
[08:41] <subpar> I just got pissed off at it, went from dual boot to single boot ubuntu
[08:41] <kanuha> lee__,  this is my conf in fstab, /dev/hdb        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[08:41] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[08:41] <IndyGunFreak> Xero: what makes you think you're cd is bad?
[08:42] <ubuntulover> Anyone know about synaptic (or another program) that will let me see what packages are installed that don't exist in repository?
[08:42] <lee__> kanuha,  so should i just add that?
[08:42] <usser> warbler well do cd /pathToYourMount && sudo mkdir test
[08:42] <kanuha> lee__, it should work, yours is the same as mine
[08:42] <reallyjoel> strawberry fields forever
[08:42] <usser> warbler then see if it creates a dir test
[08:42] <Strawberryjam> :)
[08:42] <warbler> usser: mount -0  remount,rw disk/ worked!
[08:43] <warbler> usser: thnx
[08:43] <lee__> kanuha, but it doesnt all i did was unplug a cd rom and put in a DVD rom and now nothing happens yet it finds it fine in bios? so its definatly a fault with the os?
[08:43] <ubuntulover> A lot of stuff broke or became unstable switching to gutsy, and reinstalling them fixed them... but I have a lot of manual packages and want to fix everything before I figure out how broken it is
[08:43] <usser> warbler oh well =)
[08:43] <astro76> ubuntulover, synaptic will, any packages that aren't in an enabled repository will appear in "local" (or something like that) if click "Origin"
[08:43] <warbler> k
[08:44] <ubuntulover> THANK YOU!
[08:44] <zerogroundin1> /close
[08:44] <kanuha> lee__, can you mount it?
[08:44] <dorana> how do I get latest flashplayer for ubuntu x64 architecture?
[08:44] <Evanlec> dorana, good question ;p
[08:44] <IndyGunFreak> dorana: first, jump through a bunch of hoops.
[08:44] <IndyGunFreak> !flash64
[08:44] <ubotu> You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[08:44] <Evanlec> dorana, i'll let u know when ive got 65bit installed
[08:45] <warbler> !dvd
[08:45] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[08:45] <lee__> kanuha, not the way i do it << noob  i just right click it and click mount it says error proberly no disk in it or something like that but there is a disk in it and i know it works!
[08:45] <Pirate_Hunter> hi, I have installed ubuntu but now im wondering once i get a larger HD is it possible to copy the data over without having to install everything again?
[08:45] <usser> dorana use nspluginwrapper
[08:45] <xjkx> my printer has only the black color, the other ones are out. Cups cant print, i think it uses the colors even though i want it to just print the black color, i am using "Color Model:  Grayscale"
[08:45] <warbler> !backup
[08:45] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up.

[08:45] <astro76> xjkx, grayscale mode always uses color, you need black&white mode
[08:46] <dorana> Ahhm, still need to set it as 32bit, thanks, I know the procedure for that ^^
[08:46] <an0malist> someone say my name so I can see if highlighting is working

[08:47] <astro76> usser, printers use color to print grayscale
[08:47] <IndyGunFreak> !sorry | an0malist
[08:47] <ubotu> an0malist: It's ok, I can't stay mad at you.
[08:47] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: hi long time, yeha i was just wondering will be purchasing a new HD soon and I just though I could clone the data I have onto that one
[08:47] <xjkx> astro76: there isnt such model. models are: Grayscale Inverted Grayscale RGB Color CMY Color CMYK KCMY
[08:47] <Xero> Kousotu: I'm downloading the ISO right now, it shouldn't be more than a few minutes
[08:47] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: you might be able to, im' not really sure though..
[08:47] <warbler> !clone
[08:47] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate

[08:48] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: thanx will look around or just do it the old fashion way
[08:48] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: maybe you could use some sort fo drive cloneing utility
[08:48] <astro76> usser, if it only used black, it would need nasty halftoning to achieve different shades of gray
[08:48] <an0malist> !thanks
[08:48] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[08:48] <an0malist> heh heh
[08:48] <pteague_work> lee__> have you used modprobe or something similar to load the new drivers for the dvd-rom?
[08:48] <warbler> lee__: tried it in windows yet?
[08:49] <astro76> xjkx, you might be out of luck, you need a way to switch into black&white only mode
[08:49] <lee__> warbler, nope i just droped winblows to install linux to find out how good it is (but it came from a windows machine thats how i know it works)

[08:49] <yatiohi> Hello! does anybody know which package i have to install to do: man pthread.h
[08:49] <astro76> xjkx, what printer?
[08:49] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: that may make it a bit easier..., but itlooks like it would stillr equire you to reinstall the actual OS>
[08:49] <lee__> pteague_work, i just unpluged the old one and pluged in a new one :)
[08:50] <xjkx> astro76: epson stylus c85
[08:50] <Strawberryjam> anybody have any idea why firefox wont open any website yet the chat client runs fine...i had a similar problem with vista when it installed the updated driver to my nforce network controller?
[08:50] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: thats to replicate packages I wish to clone one HD and send it to another larger HD. I basically want to everything and that includes the OS
[08:50] <sayanriju> does the KUBUNTU gutsy ver include compiz fusion by default??
[08:50] <warbler> lee__: look in hardware info - see if it is there
[08:50] <usser> Strawberryjam probably something wrong with DNS setup on your machine
[08:50] <lee__> warbler, how?
[08:50] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: yes it does make it easier but I only have one machine
[08:50] <rexy_> Any way to permanently disable the joystick thingy in the keyboard of my laptop?
[08:51] <pteague_work> lee__> like in windows, linux needs drivers to be able to use the new drive... in your case it sounds like the cd-rom drive & the dvd-rom drive use 2 different drivers...  i believe there's a hardware detection program that will automatically take care of that, but i'm not sure what it is
[08:51] <Kousotu> rexy_: touchpad, yes
[08:51] <Strawberryjam> DNS...hhhhmmmmm...I have no idea what that is...:)
[08:51] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: yeah i know,  you could copy the file to CD, reinstall ubuntu, then take the cd, and run that restore command, not easy by any stretch.
[08:51] <astro76> xjkx, well it's listed as working only "mostly", so I wonder what the problem is: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-Stylus_C85
[08:51] <rexy_> Kousotu: i am using the touchpad, i want to disable the joystick, as it somtimes gets stuck in a certain direction
[08:51] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: does that drive have just Ubuntu, or ubuntu and xp?
[08:51] <art> what repository i need add to upgrade my ubuntu 6,12 to 7,04
[08:51] <Kousotu> oh.. hm... I'm not sure bout thta one
[08:51] <pteague_work> rexy_> i believe there is a way via the xorg.conf file
[08:51] <NemesisD> hi, for some reason whenever i connect via ssh to this machine after a few minutes i get this: Read from remote host 75.28.0.254: Connection reset by peer
[08:51] <warbler> lee__: system tools on my feisty
[08:52] <rexy_> sayanriju: for gutsy stuff try ubuntu+1
[08:52] <IndyGunFreak> !upgrade | art
[08:52] <ubotu> art: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[08:52] <Strawberryjam> art just install all updates on update manager
[08:52] <lee__> pteague_work, i kinda figured it would be a driver issue but i have no idea how to make it work and im missing out on world of warcraft :(
[08:52] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: m$ XP, Feisty, Drapper & Xubuntu - dont ask why
[08:52] <rexy_> pteague_work: that would be my guess too, heh
[08:52] <usser> Strawberryjam in console try doing something like host google.com
[08:52] <warbler> lee__: system-preferences
[08:52] <xjkx> astro76: but the options should but there anyway :s seems like cups thingy
[08:52] <lee__> warbler,  and were would that be :P
[08:52] <Strawberryjam> thnx usser
[08:52] <usser> Strawberryjam any meaningful output??
[08:52] <art> i install all updates
[08:52] <xjkx> astro76: you sure yours have such model?
[08:52] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: lol, damn.. ok.. and you want all that?

[08:57] <usser> Strawberryjam right, well first off try to restart your dsl modem

[08:57] <xjkx> "black light film" maybe?
[08:57] <Strawberryjam> usually that helps
[08:57] <Strawberryjam> but after a while it just does the same again

[08:58] <Strawberryjam> btw...how can i stop the modem from dialing auto on startup...i accidentally enabled it when i configured pppoeconf...not it does that all the time
[08:59] <lee__> warbler, i cant i dont have a live cd here but the disk that is in the drive is definatly working because i installed this disk about 20 mins ago
[08:59] <arman> hello, i want to run two commands on startup automaticly, how can i do that?
[08:59] <monkeyBox> yeah, the keybindings still don't work
[08:59] <warbler> K
[08:59] <Strawberryjam> re run pppoeconf i guess ya?
[08:59] <astro76> bobgill, if they're separate but adjacent, that must mean you have a extended partition (container for logical partitions) to resize
[08:59] <warbler> lee__ one min
[08:59] <monkeyBox> The move window stuff works now :-p
[08:59] <UncleD> astro76: Im having trouble with dpkg and aptitude. Can you explain how to fix this error??? http://pastie.caboo.se/92821
[08:59] <pteague_work> anybody heard anything on mobile ubuntu lately?
[09:00] <lee__> warbler, could it not be the fact that the fstab file is still pulling the origonal CD-Rom Drive ? because i all i did was pull out the CD-Rom and plug in the DVD-Rom?
[09:00] <UncleD> pteague_work: You mean iBuntu? :D
[09:00] <cox377> does anyone know a command for restarting all usb devices or a usbdevice? IE KVM switch?
[09:00] <usser> Strawberryjam oh i see, that happens with dsl, usually that means problems with your phone line or just faulty modem
[09:00] <_tux> arman: I wouldn't specifically know how to do that but you can make a bash script to execute commands at a particular time
[09:01] <warbler> lee__: sudo gedit fstab pls - but cd drivers work dvd too
[09:01] <Strawberryjam> k...thank you
[09:01] <lee__> warbler, got it up
[09:01] <pteague_work> UncleD> no idea... i just remember hearing something about there was going to be a version for phones... i'm hoping i can use it on my phone... i got it cause it was advertised as playing mp3s, but it doesn't really (it does, but its a pita) - it plays wmas (blech) just fine
[09:01] <warbler> lee__ near bottom is line for cd

[09:03] <bobgill> astro76: Is there any way around it or am I stuck with having to have 2 separate partitoins ?
[09:03] <Fenix|work> is there an Ubuntu installer that's in spanish?
[09:04] <astro76> bobgill, ok so they're not adjacent, your swap partition is in between. Just move the swap to the right
[09:04] <lee__> warbler, it ejected the disk
[09:04] <_tux> arman: http://tille.garrels.be/training/bash/ and here http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ should help
[09:04] <warbler> lee__: and did it open
[09:04] <arman> thanks alot
[09:04] <lee__> warbler, yes
[09:04] <pteague_work> UncleD> $ aptitude search apache | grep ^i     & see if apache2 is installed...  might be useful to try to uninstall apache2 & then reinstall
[09:04] <bobgill> astro76: okay, how ?

[09:04] <astro76> bobgill, click it, click resize/move, and slide it to the right
[09:04] <warbler> lee__ not the dvd then - try another disk to check
[09:04] <Fenix|work> a friend of mine is looking to play with linux but english is a second language and she's not that proficient in it yet.

[09:04] <lee__> warbler, ok one sec
[09:04] <bobgill> astro76: doesn't allow me.. there's a lock icon next to it
[09:05] <astro76> bobgill, oh you're using that swap currently
[09:05] <lee__> warbler, ok testing now on a disk i know works cus i just checked it in my mates machine
[09:05] <astro76> bobgill, type in a terminal: sudo swapoff -a
[09:05] <NemesisD> for some reason whenever i connect via ssh to this machine after a few minutes i get this: Read from remote host <IP>: Connection reset by peer. anyone know what might be causing this? i can't finish the installation im trying to do
[09:05] <lee__> warbler, woot that worked ;)
[09:05] <lee__> warbler, must of been locked or something :P
[09:05] <bobgill> astro76: done

[09:06] <[fireman] > does anyone know how to get a dock like that on ubuntu?
[09:06] <[fireman] > apparently its just a theme
[09:06] <astro76> bobgill, now you can move it, when you're done you can reenable swap with sudo swapon -a
[09:06] <astro76> bobgill, turned off all swap partitions
[09:06] <warbler> lee__: probably just the disk :)
[09:06] <lee__> warbler, no the disk i was using a seccond ago that wouldnt load now loads fine

[09:07] <pteague_work> umount -l is a wonderful thing for blasted samba shares
[09:07] <lee__> warbler, they all do after the eject command so thanks :)
[09:07] <astro76> bobgill, you can't modify mounted (or in the case of swap, enabled) filesystems
[09:07] <warbler> lee__: you can make a launcher to open the dvd with " eject "
[09:07] <[fireman] > IndyLucian, I think its called gnome dock
[09:07] <lee__> warbler,  how?
[09:07] <[fireman] > would synaptic have that too?
[09:07] <bobgill> astro76: ahh yes, it makes sense now :) thanks very much, great help friend :)
[09:08] <pteague_work> whoever posted that new screen for gnome... that looks like mac
[09:08] <IndyLucian> i had that setup. . . all i did was right click the TOP panel, and add a new panel at the bottom. i then went to the properties of that panel by right-clicking and making the icons a bit larger. . . and you can also make the panel sit in the center like the pic shows too
[09:08] <pteague_work> i do like the firefox & thunderbird icons

[09:41] <stefg> kazol: add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu feisty-commercial main , then sudo apt.get update && sudo apt-get install realplayer. Use the apt, Luke ! :-)
[09:41] <ferronica> rexy_: i just ammended in grub
[09:41] <kazol> pike_: I know it sucks, but the site I'm trying to stream music from requires the FF realplayer extension (I use vlc and xmms).
[09:41] <CommanderCool> sudo apt-get install realplay
[09:41] <IndyGunFreak> i've insalled it from the bin file many times wo issue.
[09:41] <CommanderCool> not realplayer
[09:41] <kazol> I'll just copy it to /tmp then.
[09:41] <ferronica> rexy_: i think it verify when it boot
[09:41] <zendo> Anyone?
[09:42] <fr3ak> stefg,
[09:42] <IndyGunFreak> kazol: try  sudo apt-get install realplay
[09:42] <Shmattie> I have a computer with multiple sound cards.  How do I setup one as the main one for ALSA?
[09:42] <fr3ak> did u even heard somethin like this
[09:42] <ferronica> rexy_: can you tell me how to remove that option from GRUB
[09:42] <fr3ak> hey folks check this pastebin im tryin to install unichrome driver
[09:42] <fr3ak> http://pastebin.com/m24ff0de
[09:43] <MrKeuner> hi, what is the name of the free driver for ati video cards?
[09:43] <kazol> Now it works-I copied it to /tmp (without spaces). Why can't it understand spaces in the working dir?
[09:43] <Shadow6363> kazol, could just be poor programming or the path isn't set up correctly, no idea
[09:43] <kazol> Where should I install it to? /opt/RealPlayer?
[09:43] <IndyGunFreak> kazol: user malfunction i suspect.
[09:43] <Medicii> we have a Dell Inspiron 700m and the hibernate and suspend options in Gnome are missing. How can we enable?
[09:43] <shrumhead> ferronica - the config is in "/boot/grub/menu.list"
[09:43] <kazol> User malfunction?
[09:44] <Shadow6363> kazol, as everyone else stated, i would recommend the apt-get, but if youre doing the bin, /opt/ is the typical location i would say
[09:44] <ferronica> shrumhead; okay opened
[09:44] <MrKeuner> kazol: are you aware that real player is spyware
[09:44] <|FrOstiE|> :O
[09:44] <Medicii> we have a Dell Inspiron 700m and the hibernate and suspend options in Gnome are missing. How can we enable?
[09:44] <IndyGunFreak> kazol: yes, user malfunction....
[09:44] <kazol> MrKeuner: How!??
[09:44] <|FrOstiE|> wht player do u recommend MrKeuner
[09:44] <shrumhead> ferronica; it should be well documented and you should be able to see whatever it is you want to remove, simply comment it out
[09:44] <kazol> IndyGunFreak: I did everything correct.
[09:44] <IndyGunFreak> kazol: then it should have installed, spaces be damned
[09:44] <kazol> (or so I think).
[09:44] <IndyGunFreak> exactly
[09:45] <kazol> Still doesn't make sense-I ran the .bin file in the dir.
[09:45] <Anarch> Is there anything like a text-ubuntu?  I'm running on a box that has only 64M RAM, and even a Breezy livecd can't run.  A 640M Feisty ISO (better than 700M) with no desktop but all CLI amenities including sshd WBN.
[09:45] <kazol> I already cd'd under the dir with the space.
[09:45] <an0malist> This should be so easy, but i keep messing it up: can someone show me how to add a line to sudoers to allow me (an0malist) access to chmod and chown without having to put in a password?
[09:45] <kazol> MrKeuner: It's spyware/malware?
[09:45] <IndyGunFreak> Anarch: you're pobably gonna want fluxbuntu

[09:47] <[fireman] > fluxbuntu?
[09:47] <shrumhead> ferronica> hmmm sec
[09:47] <kazol> If I rm files from the terminal what location do they go?
[09:47] <Anarch> IndyGunFreak: stefg: thanks for the clues

[09:48] <pike_> what on earth is the diff beteen fluxbuntu and a server install with apt-get basexfonts xserver-xorg fluxbox conky?
[09:48] <[fireman] > IndyGunFreak, even lighter than xubuntu?
[09:48] <Ktron> IndyGunFreak, isn't there a fluxubuntu-package ?
[09:48] <kazol> Shadow6363: So if I delete them in GUI they go to the recycle bin location?
[09:48] <IndyGunFreak> [fireman] : much
[09:48] <Shadow6363> yes
[09:48] <[fireman] > :o
[09:48] <giany911> http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/5963/outwm8.jpg this is what comes out from my scanner ... anything i scan its the same way
[09:48] <IndyGunFreak> Ktron: yeah, there might be, not 100% sure.
[09:48] <MrKeuner> kazol: try this one http://www.michaelbraly.com/archives/000180.html
[09:48] <Shadow6363> kazol, yes
[09:48] <MrKeuner> kazol: good luck
[09:48] <Ktron> I'm more of a Xubuntu person myself
[09:48] <Moniker42> thanks jrib
[09:48] <[fireman] > so in theory you could run it on a psp
[09:48] <Rabiddog> right now trying to get embedded video working properly in firefox, I get sound from youtube videos but where the video should be located it's all white, I want to view a compiz fusion video
[09:49] <Ktron> IndyGunFreak, if there is, install Feisty, apt-get install fluxubuntu-package, and now you have feisty fluxubuntu
[09:49] <kazol> MrKeuner: I found a better streaming site which doesn't require RealPlayer so I won't install that junk.
[09:49] <warbler> !ubuntu-effects
[09:49] <ubotu> For help with 3d desktop effects applications or drivers please join #ubuntu-effects, someone there will be glad to help you. You can read http://forum.beryl-project.org/ for most common problems or questions.
[09:49] <MrKeuner> kazol: that's the best!
[09:49] <Shadow6363> kazol, if you want to do the same thing as the recycle bin, you can do mv file ~/.trash instead
[09:49] <Rabiddog> Anyone know why embedded video in firefox would play with sound but no video on the webpage background?
[09:49] <IndyGunFreak> Ktron: but the previous posters issue, is extreme hardware limitations....
[09:49] <IndyGunFreak> so it rpobably won't take a normal gnome/xfce install, to remove later.
[09:49] <MrKeuner> kazol: any proprietary code is untrustable but the least trustable is real player
[09:50] <kazol> lol
[09:50] <shrumhead> ferronica> I can't find any documentation pretaining to your problem and I can't find a solution myself, sorry :(
[09:50] <kazol> Makes sense.
[09:50] <jrib> Shadow6363, kazol: note taht should be ~/.Trash with a capital 'T'
[09:50] <ferronica> shrumhead: ok
[09:50] <kazol> jrib: Is Trash a folder?
[09:50] <ferronica> shrumhead: cable play any role
[09:50] <jrib> kazol: .Trash is
[09:50] <Shadow6363> jrib, thanks, forgot about that
[09:51] <kazol> jrib: What's the "." for?
[09:51] <ferronica> shrumhead: i mean bus cable that i connected ?
[09:51] <warbler> ferronica: what is the issue again?
[09:51] <jrib> kazol: it's part of the name, an initial '.' makes it hidden
[09:51] <kazol> Why doesn't Unix automatically mv files to trash? Why delete permanently?
[09:51] <[fireman] > how would I install tarballs?
[09:51] <kazol> jrib: So to preven accidental deleting without using "sudo"?
[09:51] <jrib> kazol: why would you delete something if you don't want it to be deleted :)
[09:51] <m4v3r1ck> an0malist: username ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/chmod maybe?
[09:51] <[fireman] > tar blabla.tar -xyz /
[09:52] <pike_> [fireman] : you untar em and usually there is a readme and/or install text file to tell you
[09:52] <m4v3r1ck> an0malist: you still need to sudo though
[09:52] <kazol> jrib: What if you accidently rm a whole folder of work?
[09:52] <ferronica> warbler: GRUB  problem :(
[09:52] <an0malist> m4v3r1ck: do I need any TABs in there or are those just spaces?
[09:52] <jrib> kazol: backups
[09:52] <beans1337> how is it possible that i am the only user on my pc, yet i cannot edit files in my media folder because i dont have permission?
[09:52] <m4v3r1ck> an0malist: just spaces
[09:52] <jrib> beans1337: what filesystem?
[09:52] <beans1337> ext3
[09:52] <[fireman] > pike_, I don't see that
[09:52] <Ktron> IndyGunFreak, xubuntu or ubuntu server then as your base
[09:52] <warbler> ferronica: can be many - which one - seen paste
[09:52] <[fireman] > infact this tarball is used to help me install a /run file
[09:53] <jrib> beans1337: what directory is this?  (full path)
[09:53] <[fireman] > I'm installing my nvidia driver
[09:53] <IndyGunFreak> Ktron: server would work, but he didn't even have enough ram for xubuntu
[09:53] <ferronica> warbler: i have added XP info in it
[09:53] <beans1337> /media
[09:53] <warbler> k
[09:53] <kazol> jrib: That's too much work. Moving all files to trash would be much easier (only problem is the extra moving operation and occupied disk space).
[09:53] <ferronica> warbler: i have two seperate HDD
[09:53] <Ktron> heh
[09:53] <niagin> what's the difference between the server and desktop?
[09:53] <jrib> beans1337: subdirectories of /media is where things get mounted.  What are you trying to do exactly?
[09:53] <ferronica> warbler: PATA and SATA
[09:53] <Ktron> IndyGunFreak, I would have thought xfce4's reqs would have been at least comparable to fluxbox
[09:54] <art> can i get repository to update my ubuntu pls? i cant find it in tutorial
[09:54] <warbler> ferronica: and what's not working?
[09:54] <pike_> [fireman] : there is a .run file on nvidia website but it doesnt require anything that isnt in the repos i dont know what the tar file is but it doesnt seem youd need it
[09:54] <rexy_> IndyGunFreak: feisty base install used 27Mb mem , if you dont run X how can you be strapped for memory
[09:54] <Ktron> IndyGunFreak, interesting
[09:54] <IndyGunFreak> Ktron: i don't think xfce requires 64mb of ram..
[09:54] <[fireman] > ahh ok then pike_
[09:54] <jrib> kazol: meh, I guess.  Maybe you are interested in libtrash, but really just don't rm something unless you want it to be gone
[09:54] <pike_> .run or .sh i forget
[09:54] <stefg> !update | art
[09:54] <ubotu> art: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[09:54] <rexy_> not sure if it boots with just 32MB though
[09:54] <kyncani> niagin: the server won't install gnome and related packages (i think)
[09:54] <IndyGunFreak> Flux can run on about 16mb of ram
[09:54] <[fireman] > a .run file is the equivalent of a .exe right pike_ ?
[09:54] <ferronica> warbler: i have just removed sata where xp installed
[09:54] <slimjimflim> hi.  can someone tell me the difference between a system call and an api if there is one?
[09:55] <IndyGunFreak> rexy_: its the GUI that would have been the original posters problem
[09:55] <Ktron> IndyGunFreak, crazy
[09:55] <Shadow6363> kazol, if youre worried about accidentally deleting, some people will alias rm to rm -i which will ask you before deleting anything
[09:55] <[fireman] > IndyGunFreak, you can use the xfce-interface right?
[09:55] <art> stefg: im using that tutorial but still i have error
[09:55] <IndyGunFreak> yah..
[09:55] <rexy_> IndyGunFreak: well patience and swap goes  along way
[09:55] <IndyGunFreak> [fireman] : you can use any of them you want
[09:55] <beans1337> im trying to get a hard drive from an old vaio (80) gig .    i formatted the drive to ext3, then mounted it to /media/disk and it acted like it was read only
[09:55] <ferronica> and added pata blank pata
[09:55] <warbler> ferronica: want to remove xp from grub?
[09:55] <stefg> art: what are you trying to do?
[09:55] <IndyGunFreak> rexy_: you'd have to be VERY patient..lol
[09:55] <Wycked> hows it going guys
[09:55] <[fireman] > beans1337,
[09:55] <beans1337> and it wont let em change it to read and write
[09:55] <rexy_> but 16MB is not a lot even for just X and fluxbox
[09:55] <ferronica> warbler: yes
[09:55] <[fireman] > you need to install ntfs-3g
[09:55] <[fireman] > then install ntfs-config
[09:55] <pike_> [fireman] : basically but its not going to be executable you you download it youll need to chmod +x file.sh  and then sudo ./file.sh to run it
[09:55] <sandra> hi, I try to export my pictures from digiKam to a Gallery 2 gallery but it tells me that it can not connect to the gallery. Does anybody know why?

[09:55] <ferronica> warbler: ok
[09:56] <[fireman] > go to appz -> system tools -> ntfs drive
[09:56] <[fireman] > then enable write
[09:56] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: did you put it in an external enclosure, or is it internal, or wha?
[09:56] <[fireman] > then you gotta remount the drive
[09:56] <jrib> beans1337: you need to change the permissions on /media/disk then using chmod and/or chown appropriately
[09:56] <beans1337> i want to run ext3 tho
[09:56] <scipio> [fireman] , he doesn't need ntfs tools since the drive is ext3
[09:56] <art> stefg: i have 6,12 ubuntu and want upgrade it to 7,04 but when i usng auto upgrade i have error
[09:56] <jrib> [fireman] : he said it was ext3, not ntfs
[09:56] <[fireman] > ahh gotcha
[09:56] <[fireman] > sorry myday
[09:56] <Pirate_Hunter>   how do i install ubuntu with rtf (i think thats how it goes) format instead of ext3
[09:56] <stefg> art: what error?
[09:56] <jrib> beans1337: and you know about sudo?
[09:56] <pike_> [fireman] : why not just use nvidia-glx package? sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx; sudo nvidia-xconfig; sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   ?
[09:56] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: you probably need to chmod it.
[09:57] <slimjimflim> hi.  can someone tell me the difference between a system call and an api if there is one?

[09:57] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: i'm not 100% sure, its a chmod command though.

[10:03] <Wycked> ok
[10:03] <Pirate_Hunter> Crustacean-bob: automatix evil only recently I have realised that, unless uve got two version of ubuntu that way one could be for testing purposes
[10:03] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, did you give the user youre now using admin privileges?
[10:03] <demonspork> I am having a problem with ktorrent.  I am running Ubuntu 7.04 feisty and ktorrent keeps crashing, it happens sometimes within 30 minutes of launching it, and sometimes it will run for 3 days before crashing.  Here is the KDE Crash Handler Backtrace data http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35828/
[10:04] <Crustacean-bob> Yes I did give admin

[10:04] <rexy_> demonspork: disable DHT, or update to a backport(bad idea)
[10:04] <stefg> demonspork: #kubuntu ?
[10:04] <erUSUL> demonspork: you shold file a bug report in launchpad or contact the developers and send the traces to them
[10:04] <demonspork> stefg, I am in both kubuntu and here and I amsg the question
[10:04] <Crustacean-bob> Where are all the programs that automatix installs located?\
[10:05] <rexy_> heu that too, but try disabling DHT and see if it crashes still

A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[10:05] <Pirate_Hunter> Crustacean-bob: it is located in different places
[10:05] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, theyre located where most other programs are located, but you really shouldnt just go find the executable and delete that
[10:05] <Crustacean-bob> The program I need to get rid of is in System tools
[10:06] <demonspork> rexy
[10:06] <Pirate_Hunter> Crustacean-bob: depending on how automatix installed the program(s) it might not be in the correct directory as it should thats why you should try synaptic or uninstalling from automatix
[10:06] <rexy_> demonspork:
[10:06] <warbler> try /opt
[10:06] <demonspork> rexy_, do you know why DHT would cause it to crash
[10:06] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, it should have installed some sort of package that you could uninstall with synaptic or with automatix
[10:06] <rexy_> demonspork: nope
[10:06] <rexy_> bad coding, devine intervention, planet alignment, buggy code, take your pick, i enabled packbports and updated to a new version
[10:06] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, if you no longer have access to automatix or synaptic, then youve got quite a problem
[10:07] <peterretief> i got a dvd drive failing to read
[10:07] <peterretief> any help?
[10:07] <Crustacean-bob> I have no access to the user at all
[10:07] <thedash> can I see info on a device, like a DVD-RW drive, see exactly what it is ?
[10:07] <rexy_> but disabling DHT works just as well, since backports sometimes break stuff, and are not supported i think
[10:07] <peterretief> dmesg | grep 'hdc' | less
[10:08] <warbler> peterretief:try in terminal - eject
[10:08] <peterretief> eject works
[10:08] <kitche> Crustacean-bob, the user does not matter just open up automatix or synaptic and remove the program you installed if the user you are now is in the admin group
[10:08] <demonspork> rexy_, I was only making 1 DHT connection, so it didn't hurt me 2 much
[10:08] <Crustacean-bob> How do I cd to another user?
[10:08] <peterretief> warbler:
[10:08] <zzsputnik> Crustacean-bob,  make a list of wha u want and need the best is to a .txt ( in form : sudo aptitude install  <??apps??> ) make sure to have multi and universe sources activated and copy paste the content... to the commandline
[10:08] <warbler> peterretief: then player not wrong
[10:08] <dEn_> hi, i installed ubuntu and then vista but grub fails to load . how can i solve the problem
[10:08] <rexy_> demonspork: DHT wont work if you behind a router, you'd need to forward ports, it helps with small group torrents it seems
[10:09] <peterretief> warbler: get a read error
[10:09] <Crustacean-bob> On this user it doesn't come up that the program is installed
[10:09] <MisterX> hi there
[10:09] <an0malist> dude... I DON'T UNDERSTAND why I can't get this sudoers to work.
[10:09] <demonspork> rexy_, the key is called fully functional uPnP

[10:09] <warbler> peterretief: eject opens tray?
[10:09] <rexy_> demonspork: that crap actually works?
[10:09] <peterretief> warbler: thats right
[10:09] <cki_> I made my X server runing with the Nvidia driver and the 6200

[10:09] <[fireman] > I want to load a script in xchat
[10:09] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, synaptic is user-independent

[10:09] <MisterX> i read that i need to install libdvdcss to encode even my bought dvds (done) but... what to do now?
[10:09] <peterretief> warbler: but it wont mount
[10:09] <rexy_> demonspork: didnt work for me iirc
[10:10] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, are you actually in synaptic doing a search for your desktop multiplier
[10:10] <new2linx> no one is talking in the xmms room, can anyone help with xmms here?
[10:10] <demonspork> rexy_, my router gives me a report of the upnp configured ports and 6881 was listed as going to this machine
[10:10] <an0malist> I added this line to sudoers: an0malist ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL   <--- why do I get prompted for a password when trying to run sudo commands??!?!?!??!
[10:10] <Crustacean-bob> Shadow yes I am

[10:12] <new2linx> kitche: is there any way to display a list of shoutcast stations instead of having to click, tune in at shoutcast?

[10:12] <demonspork> John, I like Ktorrent
[10:12] <dEn_> okay demonspork ill try that
[10:12] <rambo3> new2linx, use amarok , it has shoutcast lists in it
[10:13] <decriptor> anyone here know XEN and what its state is
[10:13] <decriptor> I want to run it as a domU on my machine
[10:13] <new2linx> oh really, sweet! I thought rhythmbox did do but I can't find them
[10:13] <warbler> Javid: which icons?
[10:13] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, what is the reason you can't go back to the user that ran automatix?
[10:13] <decriptor> is 7.10 supposed to have more support?
[10:13] <Javid> the icons that were once present on my desktop
[10:13] <rexy_> decriptor: might want to try the xen channel
[10:13] <kitche> !xen | decriptor
[10:13] <ubotu> decriptor: XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenOnEdgy
[10:13] <decriptor> is there a dev channel
[10:13] <Javid> there's a folder, a handful of launchers, etc
[10:14] <Crustacean-bob> I was thinking about trying 5to change user in term and then sudo apt-get remove desktop-multip[lier
[10:14] <new2linx> rambo3: you suggest amarok is better than rythmbox or xmms?
[10:14] <decriptor> I know what XEN is
[10:14] <demonspork> descriptor, yes
[10:14] <new2linx> rambo3:  in your opinion I mnean?

[10:14] <BrightEyes`> help friends.i want to make my microphone work..any ideas? its a simple microphone connected on my onboard sound card(ALi M5455 with ALC850)
[10:14] <kitche> decriptor, well that tells you how to install it which is what you asked
[10:14] <m4v3r1ck> an0malist:  username ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL should work
[10:14] <decriptor> kind of.
[10:14] <rexy_> !sound | BrightEyes`
[10:14] <ubotu> BrightEyes`: 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).

[10:14] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, why can't you just logout of the current user and back into the normal one?
[10:14] <decriptor> I want suse to be my dom0
[10:14] <Crustacean-bob> Shadow when I try in go under user X it sasy it can't find nvida drivers
[10:14] <rambo3> new2linx, i think so if you need shoutcast ,  use banshee
[10:14] <rexy_> if your sound works, check your sound that it's not muted
[10:14] <decriptor> so that almost voids the help doc
[10:14] <rambo3> new2linx, i think so if you need shoutcast ,  I use banshee

[10:15] <decriptor> that I was hoping that I wouldn't have to bootstrap it to run it
[10:15] <Crustacean-bob> And then the screen goes blank
[10:15] <new2linx> rambo3: thanks
[10:15] <decriptor> what is the dev channel
[10:15] <multiverse> Hi, I use nvidia-glx-config to configure my NVidia Quadro NVS 140m, and when I restart my system I get a black screen.

[10:15] <kitche> decriptor, there isn't one but there is #ubuntu-dev
[10:15] <warbler> Javid: if it is there is a fix in configuration editor
[10:15] <boblzer0> what would u guys recommend as far as installing widgets
[10:15] <decriptor> kitche: thanks
[10:15] <rexy_> BrightEyes`: check your cables, unmute your microphone, If you run teamspeak kill all other sound/esd
[10:16] <Javid> I didn't change anything related to this
[10:16] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, sadly, i don't know how to run a command as another user, what happens when you load up automatix under the current user?
[10:16] <warbler> Javid: need info
[10:16] <Crustacean-bob> Shadow I have access to the home dir of user X if I could find where its located I could delte it from there
[10:16] <Crustacean-bob> It works under current user
[10:16] <MisterX> ^^ would someone help me please with my dvd?
[10:17] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, so if automatix loads, why cant you go into that and tell it to uninstall desktop-multiplier
[10:17] <Crustacean-bob> Under current user the program is not installed, under user X which I can't log into it is
[10:17] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, and going in and deleting the desktop multiplier executable likely wont fix much of anything
[10:17] <BrightEyes`> rexy_: the cable is on..the mic is not muted..im running xine engine
[10:17] <rexy_> !dvd | MisterX
[10:17] <ubotu> MisterX: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[10:17] <vocx> !please > MisterX
[10:18] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, when you install automatix, it installs to all users, it may not be in a menu, but it should still be installed unless you set some sort of custom configuration up for it
[10:18] <rexy_> BrightEyes`: if your sound is working, then your microphone should too, it's either unmuted, or not plugged in properly
[10:19] <MisterX> rexy_: thank you very much
[10:19] <Crustacean-bob> No I just installed it.... then why w9on't it come up as being installed under current user?
[10:19] <rexy_> how are you testing the mic?
[10:19] <warbler> Javid: type in terminal - sudo gconf-editor - then click apps-scroll to nautilus - click - choose desktop & there you can enable icons
[10:19] <Javid> thanks
[10:19] <warbler> k
[10:20] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, what do you mean it doesnt come up as being installed?
[10:20] <Eldara> ndsystems.org
[10:20] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, you should be able to open up the terminal and type automatix2 and enter
[10:20] <newtubuntu> I would like to know what's t the good channel to ask questions for applications selection. For example, I'm looking for the best 'Photo Album' (for semi-professional use) to select and rank pictures in a folder ?
[10:20] <Crustacean-bob> When I open automatix is current user it says the program is not installed
[10:21] <Nathanael> hi
[10:21] <BrightEyes`> rexy_: no friend its not unmuted.pls listen to me.on kmix->mixer on the tab input the red light for mic is not and the volume is full
[10:21] <warbler> !hi
[10:21] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:21] <Shadow6363> can you paste/pastebin the console output of running automatix2 ?
[10:21] <dweez> Crustacean-bob, is this your box or a work box?
[10:21] <dweez> I mean, you're not trying to delete someone else's stuff are you?
[10:21] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, case you didnt see it, can you paste/pastebin the console output of running automatix2 ?
[10:21] <Crustacean-bob> My box
[10:22] <Hope> Hello, Howcome when I try to install Ubuntu, it tells me, Something + timer doesn't work or something like that and to boot with the noapic option. Anybody able to help?
[10:22] <Crustacean-bob> How do I do that?
[10:22] <dweez> You really shouldn't use automatix for the nvidia drivers...just use the Restricted Drivers Module
[10:22] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, are you in the terminal?
[10:22] <Crustacean-bob> Yes
[10:22] <demonspork> does anyone know how to forward info, such as current track, to the G15daemon to show up on the LCD of the G15 keyboard?
[10:22] <Fenix|work> is there a DVD version of the ubuntu install with a repository of packages?
[10:23] <edulix> hi
[10:23] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, type automatix2, hit enter, highlight everything it reported, copy, then paste in here
[10:23] <Shadow6363> well
[10:23] <warbler> Hope: are you on an old comp?
[10:23] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, use ttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and then send me the link
[10:23] <kitche> Crustacean-bob, don't paste in here paste in a pastebin
[10:23] <Hope> My comp is AMD Ahtlon 64 X2 Dual Core, 2 gigs of ram Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX i dont think its THAT old =P
[10:23] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, add an h to that link
[10:23] <edulix> wouldn't it be a wonderful idea if for ubuntu+2 all IM clients installed and configured OTR (encrpytion plugin) by default?
[10:24] <dweez> edulix, all IM clients?  no
[10:24] <edulix> so that if you chat from an ubuntu machine to another kubuntu machine, one with kubuntu/kopete and the other with ubuntu/pidgin, the conversation automatically got ciphered
[10:24] <warbler> Hope: maybe too new :)
[10:24] <PurpZeY> Can someone recommend a nice piece of software for monitoring Wireless traffic coming in and out of my machine, so that I might see if I am losing packets, or being briefly disconnected?
[10:24] <edulix> dweez: the ones which are supported
[10:24] <Hope> xD
[10:24] <Hope> Know how to fix the problem >.<?
[10:24] <rexy_> encryption does not happen magically, heh
[10:24] <edulix> dweez: I've tested pidgin and kopete, but mirandaim for example also supports it
[10:24] <warbler> Hope there are options when you boot
[10:25] <dweez> demonspork, check out this [10:25] <dweez> edulix, yeah, but I don't want a bunch of IM clients installed by default
[10:25] <warbler> Hope the screen tells you
[10:25] <Nathanael> how can i restrict access to the kdewallet ?
[10:25] <Fenix|work> PurpZeY, ethereal
[10:25] <dweez> plus, OTR is way to version specific at least in regards to Pidgin
[10:25] <Hope> Warbler: The screen tells me what?
[10:25] <PurpZeY> Fenix|work: Is it in the repos?
[10:25] <linux_user400354> how can i allow other people on the lan to browse to http://my.ip:631?
[10:25] <Fenix|work> PurpZeY, beats me... I haven't installed Ubuntu yet
[10:26] <corky> hi all
[10:26] <demonspork> dweez, I already have almost everything there, installed and almost working
[10:26] <edulix> dweez: that's not what I say. I say that the ones installed ship otr activated by default
[10:26] <warbler> Hope: what to do to get to the stage where you can type noapci
[10:26] <corky> hey uhm.... i have a qeustion...
[10:26] <dweez> edulix, yeah, I can see that
[10:26] <corky> My sound doesn't work under ubuntu
[10:26] <demonspork> dweez, I need someone to help me go through and configure it to make it work correctly
[10:26] <edulix> dweez: for example: ubuntu ships with pidgin right? then, install pidgin-otr. at the moment I think it's not even in the reps
[10:26] <dweez> otr is a bit of a pain to compile
[10:26] <demonspork> corky, what sound card do you have?
[10:26] <dweez> edulix, no, it doesn't ship with pidgne
[10:26] <edulix> dweez: and the same with kubuntu/kopete
[10:26] <dweez> pidgin
[10:26] <vocx> !doesnt work | corky
[10:26] <ubotu> corky: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[10:26] <dweez> it ships with gaim
[10:26] <Crustacean-bob> kitche: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35831/
[10:26] <Nathanael> my whole configuration works perfect until now!
[10:26] <Fenix|work> anyone know if the Adaptec 1210SA will work on 64bit?
[10:26] <warbler> hope: one min - I'll check
[10:27] <edulix> dweez: well, that's the old name of pidgin xd
[10:27] <dweez> demonspork, oh, you're on your own then...when you're done though, post it up on the forums cuz I have a g15 at home :-D
[10:27] <Hope> Ok I click, Start or Install Ubuntu then it loads a few things, screen goes black, pops up with like [34.####.###]  or something and like an error message saying it cant sync or something with a timer + something or something along those lines
[10:27] <dweez> edulix, the version Ubuntu ships with is not the same as the released Pidgin 2.0
[10:27] <IndyGunFreak>  pidgin is at ver. 2.1.1
[10:27] <dweez> and otr seems to not work that well from point release to point release
[10:28] <demonspork> dweez, I know people have done what I am trying to do, just I can't find a step by step guide yet
[10:28] <IndyGunFreak> otr?
[10:28] <dweez> so what worked on 2.1.0 is usually flaky (or borked completely) on 2.1.1
[10:28] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, did automatix start or anything after that?
[10:28] <IndyGunFreak> demonspork: what are you trying to do?
[10:28] <edulix> IndyGunFreak: http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr
[10:28] <warbler> Hope: just looking at install script now
[10:28] <dweez> IndyGunFreak, get the G15 lcd working
[10:28] <Hope> Warbler: Ok I click, Start or Install Ubuntu then it loads a few things, screen goes black, pops up with like [34.####.###]  or something and like an error message saying it cant sync or something with a timer + something or something along those lines
[10:28] <Crustacean-bob> Shadow: When I go to install desktop multiplier on this user is says Userful is a pay program it will replace xorg.conf with its own it can be reversed do you want to continue? Yes or No
[10:28] <dweez> IndyGunFreak, OTR == off the record == IM encryption
[10:28] <Crustacean-bob> Shadow: Yes
[10:29] <edulix> dweez: uhm, I didn't notice that, maybe because I use more kopete hehe
[10:29] <dweez> edulix, hehe, well, for the gaim/pidgin release it's like that
[10:29] <dweez> same with a lot of the plugins (i.e gfire
[10:29] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, there was no right click option to uninstall or anything like that?
[10:29] <demonspork> IndyGunFreak, write a script to display media information from a media player (I am not picky, I just want to get it working from one of them) to my G15 LCD screen
[10:29] <Crustacean-bob> No
[10:30] <Crustacean-bob> Its not installed on current user just user X
[10:30] <IndyGunFreak> demonspork: i see.
[10:30] <vocx> !away > Nathanael_off
[10:30] <dweez> I got otr configured for Pidgin 2.1.0 on 7.04 A64...but when I switched back to x86 I couldn't cuz of "dependency errors"
[10:30] <newtubuntu> f-spot
[10:30] <dweez> which is a lie...I had the right files, just not named right
[10:30] <corky> demonspork, join #corky
[10:30] <dweez> and I couldn't remember how I got around that on A64
[10:30] <ryanakca> Is there a way to add new users, from a file containing 'username:password' or 'username:shell:password', or of the same format as that for FreeBSD's 'adduser -f <filenam>'? (Or a way to easily add 35 users) I currently have http://cpp.sourceforge.net/?show=39969 , but I need a way to have the passwords be encrypted
[10:30] <corky> demonspork, join #corky, because i can PM <.<
[10:30] <edulix> dweez: anyway I think that ubuntu+2 could have security/privacy as the next big thing. easy firewall configuration, easy gpg emails, easy otr for IM, etc. wouldn't it be coo? ;)
[10:30] <Evanlec> IndyGunFreak, 64ubuntu was a nogo lol
[10:30] <[fireman] > same format ryanakca
[10:30] <edulix> I'll see if there's any blueprint for that
[10:31] <dweez> edulix, sort of
[10:31] <GIn> dweez, :P
[10:31] <[fireman] > adduser <user> -p <password>
[10:31] <dweez> but I like to get my hands dirty...only way I really learn
[10:31] <dweez> sup gi
[10:31] <Crustacean-bob> Is there anyway to start user X in safemode to uninstall it from that user?
[10:31] <dweez> GIn,
[10:31] <ryanakca> Filthpig: thanks
[10:31] <aarcane> can I tell to just use the raw device to create a root filesystem on and use no swap ?
[10:31] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, yes actually
[10:31] <GIn> dweez, problem with Ubuntu?
[10:31] <dweez> Crusher, do you know user X's password?
[10:31] <dweez> GIn, nah, just chillin' and trying to help when I can
[10:32] <corky> can anybody help me with my MCP51 HD audio sound card.. i can't get it working...
[10:32] <GIn> dweez, didn't know you're active in here too.
[10:32] <warbler> Hope: when you boot the live cd - press f6 - then type "noapic nolapic
[10:32] <Crustacean-bob> I do have the password
[10:32] <edulix> dweez: and also something for cyphering volumes, like truecrypt (I've tested the forcefield gnome gui, and it still needs some work but it's good)
[10:32] <dweez> just started a couple days ago
[10:32] <Shadow6363> Crustacean-bob, to some extent, you can logout, then on the login screen, change the session to failsafe gnome session and then login with user x
[10:32] <rexy_> aarcane: you can, but you want swap
[10:32] <Hope> with the quote?
[10:32] <rbanff1> Hi folks. What is the current "good" way to initialize iptables on boot?
[10:32] <aarcane> erm, can I tell ubuntu to create a filesystem on a raw device, and just install to that and use no swap ?
[10:32] <dweez> Crustacean-bob, then can you sudo in as that user?
[10:32] <multiverse> When I use nvidia-glx-config and nvidia-xconfig for my nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M, PC Card/ PCIe and I restart my computer, I get a black screen.
[10:32] <edulix> (I mean, it's a good start)
[10:32] <Crustacean-bob> Yes
[10:32] <aarcane> rexy_, actually, no I don't.
[10:32] <rexy_> !repeat
[10:32] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[10:32] <warbler> Hope: write it down to help
[10:32] <Hope> so, noapic nolapic?
[10:32] <GIn> dweez, good to have you in here. the community really needs it. :0 keep up the good job :)
[10:32] <ryanakca> [fireman] : thanks... what do I use to encrypt the password?
[10:32] <Crustacean-bob> Let me try that
[10:32] <rexy_> aarcane: then do manual partition
[10:32] <aarcane> rexy_, I just need to get installed, then I can boot it physically, with swap.
[10:32] <dweez> hehe, I'll try.  I'm pseudo active on the forums too
[10:32] <warbler> Hope: f6 first
[10:33] <aarcane> rexy_, it won't let me use an entire disk, it will force me to partition it.
[10:33] <Hope> so
[10:33] <holzmodem> hi, after a few updates i cant use my FN HotKey to switch the Displays, the xorg.log says >>(WW) RADEON(0): Option "BiosHotKeys" is not used  ... but why. it worked a few weeks ago
[10:33] <Hope> F6 > noapic nolapic
[10:33] <GIn> holycow, looks like you have to reconfigure it
[10:33] <rexy_> ah, aarcane you dont need to actually partition in manual, just assign the existing disks to where you want them
[10:33] <dweez> holzmodem, do you have an older xorg.conf that you could look at for a comparison?
[10:33] <warbler> Hope: f6 then type : noapic nolapic "
[10:33] <Hope> Warbler: right?
[10:33] <Hope> with the space quote?
[10:34] <aarcane> rexy_, the thing is, I'm in qemu using an lv as a root disk.  I want it to install just the filesystem and boot sector so I can mount the lv later.
[10:34] <warbler> Hope: f6 then " noapic nolapic " - space between the two
[10:34] <holzmodem> dweez: i dont change anything, it still the same, hove only 2 options inside: 1. for the bioshotkey 2. dynamic clocking
[10:34] <Hope> ok but im using quotes when i type it?
[10:35] <Hope> or are you just putting that there
[10:35] <Huesos> How do you get that mac-style meny bar at the bottom that olverlaps all other windows?
[10:35] <warbler> Hope: when it says boot or install
[10:35] <mildner> anybody knows about quanta
[10:35] <vocx> holzmodem, if you updated the kernel, you may need to recompile the video modules with the new kernel headers. Does that make sense to you?
[10:35] <rexy_> aarcane: i dont follow, you are in a virtual machine booted from a bootdisk?
[10:35] <dweez> holzmodem, are you positive something hasn't edited the xorg.conf in the past couple weeks?
[10:35] <GIn> Huesos, do you mean the docker?
[10:35] <zylche> -------- sound died inbetween episodes on vlc player, sound not working anywhere, no apps using sound found, ideas?
[10:35] <keito> I've just uped my screen res to 1600x1200 and now my usplash splash screen doesn't work proplerly
[10:35] <Huesos> is that what its called? I'm not sure
[10:35] <keito> its this one http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Usplash+Theme+-+Fingerprint?content=50468
[10:36] <keito> any help?
[10:36] <aarcane> yeah, and trying to install to such a state that I can PHYSICALLY boot it later.
[10:36] <zylche> Can I see any apps that are trying to use sound anyway? I checked manually for apps I know use it..
[10:36] <arash> Hi, If I have several headphone and loudspeakers  plugged in, can I decide which that should make the sounds? I'ld be really glad if it got fixed, even if switching meant restarting X each time
[10:36] <multiverse> When I use nvidia-glx-config and nvidia-xconfig for my nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M, PC Card/ PCIe and I restart my computer, I get a black screen.
[10:36] <rexy_> dont know much about qemu virtualisation, only worked with xen
[10:36] <GIn> Huesos, http://www.taimila.com/files/effect_thumb.jpg this?
[10:36] <rexy_> and vmware,
[10:37] <dweez> multiverse, have you tried using the "Restricted Drivers Module" to install the drivers instead?
[10:37] <Hope> warbler: All I need ot know is, Do I include those quotes when im typing it, or just noapic nolapic
[10:37] <rexy_> dd'ing a booteable image onto the beginning of the virtual image disk dont work?
[10:37] <Huesos> Yes Gln, that's it!
[10:37] <holzmodem> dweez: yes, the exteral lcd is flashing for a few mili seconds, but stay black..
[10:37] <multiverse> dweez, is that nvidia-glx-new?
[10:37] <GIn> Huesos, KXDocker, Avant-window-navigator, kiba-dock and Gnome-dock. I recommend Avant-window-nav if you're using compiz
[10:37] <warbler> Hope: no quotes
[10:37] <aarcane> rexy_, well, qemu is just the fastest to set up.  I'm trying to install ubuntu to disk so I can physically boot it. from bios.  with the power button and grub.
[10:37] <dweez> I believe so
[10:37] <Hope> warbler: Gotcha, ill go try if it doesnt work, add my msn, final.phase@hotmail.com
[10:37] <multiverse> That is what I have installed at the moment.
[10:37] <rexy_> how does qemu factor in?
[10:38] <Huesos> thanks alot!
[10:38] <multiverse> I'm trying to get an xorg.conf that works.
[10:38] <dweez> multiverse, it's under System, Administration, Restricted Driver Manager
[10:38] <aarcane> rexy_, ubuntu won't install on my laptop, so I'm using qemu to do the install.
[10:38] <GIn> Huesos, http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/11 you probably want to read this.
[10:38] <aarcane> rexy_, from a working environment.
[10:38] <multiverse> dweez:  I cannot get an X session going.
[10:38] <dweez> Oh
[10:38] <GIn> Huesos, you're welcome
[10:38] <dweez> not even a safe mode?
[10:38] <rexy_> you have the disk in another system?
[10:38] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: what did you do that caused it?
[10:38] <ubuntu_> im following a howto it says to make sure  dpkg --configure -a gives no errors but it gives loads, how do i fix it
[10:38] <dweez> multiverse, you'll have to tell your xorg.conf to use the MESA (or is that Vesa?  /me is confused) and start over
[10:39] <multiverse> IGF:  i installed ubuntu
[10:39] <GIn> ubuntu_, be more specific. post the error to pastebin ;)
[10:39] <warbler> multiverse: wrong settings or wrong driver
[10:39] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: ok.. had to be more than that, or did it never work?
[10:39] <dweez> holzmodem, I'm not sure what's causing your problem then...sorry
[10:39] <wayoutthere> !w32codecs
[10:39] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[10:39] <multiverse> It hasn't worked.
[10:39] <aarcane> rexy_, no, I'm using an lvm lv as a disk, and want ubuntu to create the filesystem on what it percieves as "hda"
[10:39] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: can youu boot to a cli?
[10:39] <multiverse> IFG:  I am at a command line now.
[10:39] <dweez> IFG == IGF?
[10:39] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:40] <multiverse> yes
[10:40] <IndyGunFreak> take the defaults for everyhthing.....
[10:40] <GIn> holzmodem, check the hor and vert refresh rates
[10:40] <warbler> choose vesa
[10:40] <rexy_> aarcane: that doesnt say much to me, sorry :/
[10:40] <GIn> holzmodem, and check the resolution
[10:40] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: just take all defaults, don't worry about proper configuring, just try to get a bootable GUI.
[10:40] <ubuntu_> GIn:  well i run the command and it says errors encounterd then lists a of unconfigured the list is big but there are no specific errors
[10:40] <rexy_> i just used the netinstall, as long as you can get grub installed and a kernel on the disk along with initrd you're golden
[10:40] <aarcane> rexy_, I want to use hda for my root filesystem instead of hda1
[10:40] <IndyGunFreak> dweez: i get called IGF just about everywhere.
[10:40] <GIn> ubuntu_, can you paste it to pastebin?
[10:40] <arash> Hi, If I have several headphone and loudspeakers plugged in, can I decide which that should make the sounds? I'ld be really glad if it got fixed, even if switching meant restarting X each time
[10:40] <dweez> yeah, but he was calling you IFG :-D
[10:40] <[fireman] > question : does amarok support .cue files?
[10:40] <mfolnovich> anyone know how can I change what starts with gnome from xfce ?
[10:41] <rexy_> ah, why, if you cram grub on hda1 and boot of hda stuff would work fine too ?
[10:41] <aarcane> rexy_, but the installer is forcing me to try to use hda1 instead of hda
[10:41] <dweez> I was like "I F***ing Grip, Gum, um...iunno"
[10:41] <rexy_> makes sense aarcane, since hda is not a place you can put data on
[10:41] <erlinux>  has anyone been able to integrate Google calendar with evolution???
[10:41] <rexy_> not normally anyway
[10:41] <arash> [fireman]  try asking #KDE  :), I think they know better
[10:41] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: is it working?
[10:41] <dweez> rexy_, hda is the physical hard drive number
[10:41] <mildner> hello anybody knows about quanta
[10:41] <multiverse> IGF:  I just ran that tool
[10:41] <warbler> mfolnivich: there is gnome sessions in the system menu
[10:42] <scorp123> [fireman] : *.cue files are CD images ... why would Amarok support those?
[10:42] <multiverse> Shall I reboot?
[10:42] <IndyGunFreak> ok..
[10:42] <dweez> hda1 is partition 1 on the first hard drive
[10:42] <aarcane> rexy_, in this case it is, hda is ACTUALLY a logical volume in a volume group that the installer isn't aware of thanks to the magic of qemu
[10:42] <Carroarmato1> erlinux: yes I have
[10:42] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: if its done, yes
[10:42] <Moez> Hello ! I have accidentally modify users properties. And now, i don't have "Users and Groups" under "Administration" to fix the problem. An idea ?
[10:42] <scorp123> [fireman] : you probably meant k3b?
[10:42] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: did you just take the defaults on everything?
[10:42] <multiverse> yes
[10:42] <IndyGunFreak> ok, restart, see what happens
[10:42] <erlinux> Carroarmato1: how can i integrate gcal and evo?
[10:42] <multiverse> IGF rebooting
[10:42] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[10:42] <dweez> what's the command to show your hdd config?
[10:42] <CreativeOne> Hello
[10:42] <aarcane> dweez, hda is actually a logical volume in an LVM volume group, not a physical disk, so installing to hda is what I want, not hda1.
[10:42] <mfolnovich> warbley: in xfce too ?
[10:42] <warbler> Moez: is there an entry for main menu?
[10:43] <CreativeOne> how come ubuntu does not automount floppy when you cd in /media/floppy?
[10:43] <arash> Scorp123 - maybe fireman means that it should mount the CD an play the tracks on it ;)
[10:43] <everybodyhatesme> why can't I get any drives to show up in any ripping programs ?
[10:43] <Carroarmato1> erlinux: hang on a sec.... have to take the latest edition of Linux Format where they show you how it's done ;)
[10:43] <dweez> aaragon, but it's still indicating a "hard drive" and not a partition
[10:43] <GIn> dweez, what do you mean by hdd config? you can use df -h to print out all mountpoints
[10:43] <erlinux> Carroarmato1:thanx
[10:43] <IndyGunFreak> everybodyhatesme: cuz they hate you
[10:43] <scorp123> arash: if he really meant that .... good luck with that :)
[10:43] <[fireman] > scorp123, I'm a foobar user. its the only player I know that supports .cue files
[10:43] <dweez> whether it's logical or physical, it'd still need a 1 to indicate the first partition
[10:43] <ubuntu_> http://pastebin.com/d557276e9 <the auth errors are because im installing over an existing install to fix it
[10:43] <dweez> right?
[10:43] <CreativeOne> could someone please help me with an automount issue? Thanks :)
[10:43] <[fireman] > I don't wanna use wine to emulate it
[10:43] <aarcane> dweez, I know, I need to override this in the installer somehow, and that's what I'm asking how to do.
[10:43] <GIn> dweez, gparted gives an nice view of your hdd config
[10:43] <aarcane> dweez, I want to NOT indicate ANY partitions.
[10:43] <Moez> warbler : No (Not now)
[10:44] <dweez> GIn, yeah, but I was thinking a quick cli command
[10:44] <multiverse> IGF:  I get a blue screen with this message:  "Failed to start the Xserver (your graphical interface).  It is likely that it is not set up correctly.  Would you like to vie w the X server output to diagnose the problem?"
[10:44] <scorp123> [fireman] : *.cue files are CD images ... you burn them to CD. Or you convert them to *.ISO and loop-mount them.
[10:44] <GIn> dweez, cfdisk
[10:44] <aarcane> dweez, I don't need or want any actual partitions, I just want to install
[10:44] <warbler> Moez: oops - min
[10:44] <dweez> GIn, you fail
[10:44] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: yes, see what it says the prob is.
[10:44] <arash> [fireman]  , so you want it to mount the virtual CD  to play the music on it???
[10:44] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: usually defaults will get you to a GUI.
[10:44] <NemesisD> for some reason whenever i connect via ssh to this machine after a few minutes i get this: Read from remote host <IP>: Connection reset by peer. anyone know what might be causing this? i can't finish the installation im trying to do
[10:44] <Carroarmato1> erlinux: ok... so you want to make a calendar and send it to google?
[10:44] <aarcane> dweez, I know that after the install, this could be a problem, but for my uses, it's not.  I just need to know how to tell the installer to do what I want it to.
[10:44] <dweez> aarcane, well then, you're beyone my (for lack of a better term) "expertise"
[10:44] <warbler> moez: what about control center?
[10:44] <msikma> Hello
[10:45] <Siph0n> hey, it seems like i dont need anything in my interfaces file, and that i can just do iwconfig to set my interface, mode, key, and essid, than do dhclient <interface> and my internet connection works.... does that seem normal?
[10:45] <multiverse> IGF:  (EE) NV(0): No display devices found
[10:45] <dweez> GIn, that gave me errors
[10:45] <ryanakca> what command can I use to hash/salt a password for /etc/shadow?
[10:45] <Moez> warbler : How ?
[10:45] <aarcane> dweez, thanks anyway.
[10:45] <GIn> dweez, I also think so. haven't used the cmd line for a long time now.
[10:45] <erlinux> Carroarmato1: sure, i  can do it with thunderbird
[10:45] <IndyGunFreak> well, its a video device issue.
[10:45] <Crustaceanbob> Shadow: I'm booted in livecd I have access to user X where the program is installed it won't even boot without livecd
[10:45] <GIn> dweez, you need to specify the drive
[10:45] <warbler> Moez: system-preferences
[10:45] <multiverse> IGF:  (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration."
[10:45] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: ok, so its a screen issue.
[10:45] <Carroarmato1> erlinux: ok I will type everything that is written... it's not much
[10:45] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, youre logged into user x?
[10:45] <IndyGunFreak> its a display issue of some sort.
[10:45] <matthew> My laptop's "mouse" stopped functioning properly.  Usually when you scroll your finger down the right side it makes the webpage scroll up/down, but this doesn't work any more.  Have no idea why.
[10:45] <Crustaceanbob> No...
[10:45] <erlinux> Carroarmato1: do you have a link???
[10:45] <multiverse> IGF:  "Fatal server error: no screens found."
[10:45] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: are you sure you saved when you used all the defaults?
[10:46] <Moez> warbler : No "Users and Groups"
[10:46] <GIn> dweez, don't think you can use it with a mounted drive
[10:46] <Carroarmato1> erlinux: no it's in the magazine itself... they don't publish it
[10:46] <dweez> GIn, ah
[10:46] <erlinux> Carroarmato1: K

[10:46] <warbler> Moez: you have control center?
[10:47] <Moez> warbler : No
[10:47] <multiverse> IGF:  I deleted the old xorg.conf before I ran your tool.  Now that we have run the tool, we have a new xorg.conf, so I suspect that means I saved.
[10:47] <Crustaceanbob> I am in live right now I can see user X but don't know how to get into it to uninstiall

[10:47] <warbler> Moez: ok - one min
[10:47] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, what user were you using earlier?
[10:47] <wayoutthere> Anyone know anything about Indeo 4 codecs
[10:47] <dweez> yeah, I was thinking it was an fdisk command
[10:48] <Crustaceanbob> Livecd I was able to create another user foo but can't login to that one either I can only login live
[10:48] <Carroarmato1> erlinux: 6- Create a Calendar: From the bottom-left side of the window, click Calendars to change Evolution to calendar view. Evolution creates a default 'personal' calendar for you that's empty, but we'll create a new one to share. Click File > New > Calendar.

[10:48] <multiverse> IGF:  previously, at this point, I would run nvidia-glx-config and "enable", then I would run nvidia-xconfig.
[10:48] <act1v8> can someone please help me remove libc6 (2.6.1) and install libc6 (2.5)
[10:48] <ubuntu_> GIn: my pastebin is http://pastebin.com/d557276e9 its long but apart from a few auth errors i cant see anything meaningfull (Auth errors are at the top)
[10:48] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, was foo created while using the livecd?
[10:48] <Pie-rate> ok, i somehow locked the version of wine by following someone's directions. i want to UNlock it now.
[10:48] <Pie-rate> can someone help me?
[10:48] <Crustaceanbob> Yes it was
[10:48] <msikma> Hey everybody, I would like to use this computer as a server. Is there a way I can easily get Apache/MySQL/PHP running here? Just get the packages?
[10:48] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: wel, you can try that.
[10:48] <multiverse> Those are the tools you get once you've installed nvidia-glx-new packages.
[10:48] <Pie-rate> because i have no idea how i did that.
[10:48] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, was user x created while using the livecd?
[10:48] <GIn> dweez, fdisk can do the job too. but cfdisk gives an better overview
[10:48] <warbler> Moez: yes
[10:48] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: right... i don't tihnk its gonna work at this point.
[10:48] <dweez> demonspork, I'll play with the g15tools tonight and see what I can get done
[10:48] <erlinux> carroarmato1: ill try it now
[10:48] <multiverse> IGF:  I have tried those tools to know avail.
[10:49] <Moez> warbler : Yes i have.
[10:49] <dweez> GIn, if I wanted a better overview, I'd use GParted :-D

[10:49] <dweez> I just wanted a quick and dirty one
[10:49] <multiverse> know = no
[10:49] <Crustaceanbob> No user X was the orignal user when ubuntu was installed
[10:49] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: and you've not gotten this system to work, correct?...
[10:49] <IndyGunFreak> not at all, since install.
[10:49] <Crustaceanbob> But was used by livecd
[10:49] <matthew> My laptop's "mouse" stopped functioning properly.  Usually when you scroll your finger down the right side it makes the webpage scroll up/down, but this doesn't work any more.  Have no idea why.  Anyone?
[10:49] <aguitel> anyone helpme?
[10:49] <GIn> ubuntu_, what were you trying to do?
[10:49] <multiverse> IGF:  I have never successfully gotten an X session.
[10:50] <Carroarmato1> erlinux: 7- Share your calendar: Change the calendar type to On This Computer and give it the name 'Shared'. As we'll be making this calendar shared with others, I made mine a light red colour so that I remeber not to put personal info into it!
[10:50] <GIn> ubuntu_, what command did you run?
[10:50] <warbler> Moez: in control center is main menu - icon there will let you add user and groups back to the menu
[10:50] <aguitel> how uninstall windows ?
[10:50] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: ok.
[10:50] <GIn> aguitel, #Windows
[10:50] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, k, i wasnt aware you could login to previously created users with the livecd
[10:50] <IndyGunFreak> multiverse: join me in /join #indygunfreak
[10:50] <Crustaceanbob> I think I need to cd user X /then path of desktop-multiplier to remove
[10:50] <msikma> aguitel: if you want to remove Windows and install Ubuntu, just pop in the CD and install Ubuntu. It will rid you of Windows for good.
[10:50] <GIn> aguitel, I have a quick solution, just format the partition windows is installed on.
[10:51] <msikma> aguitel: but you'll lose the personal files that are on Windows at that moment. You need to back them up before doing this.
[10:51] <Crustaceanbob> I'm not really logged in to any user just the livecd version
[10:51] <aguitel> gin , what about grub in this case?
[10:51] <dweez> l8r all, might try and get on from home
[10:51] <Moez> warbler : Don't understand.
[10:51] <ubuntu_> im trying to install ubuntu over an existing install because it died when i crashed my computer, but its encrypted on an xfs partition (probably why it was so easy to break) so im following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto6?highlight=%28encryptedfilesystem%29
[10:51] <Crustaceanbob> ubuntu@ubuntu
[10:51] <act1v8> please can someone help?
[10:51] <msikma> aguitel: installing Ubuntu will format the partition and set up grub.
[10:51] <mdlueck> What is the Ubuntu equiv of "mail" on RedHat for sending emails in shell scripts?
[10:51] <GIn> aguitel, grub will just work fine, asuming it is installed on the MBR
[10:51] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, in order to run a command as another user, you do sudo -u username, but im pretty sure you cant be using the livecd if you are going to gain access to the previous users
[10:51] <ubuntu_> which is basically bootstraping into a partition and setting it up from a livecd
[10:51] <epimeteo> Crustaceanbob, create the user by booting with the repair/emergency kernel, the one under the normal kernel on GRUB
[10:52] <vocx> !please > act1v8
[10:52] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, have you tried booting into not graphical mode and then logging in as X (not using live cd)
[10:52] <warbler> Moez: in the control center is an icon for main menu
[10:52] <Dumptruck> Hi everybody
[10:52] <Nicark> hello, somebody knows the files viewed with totem-plugin for firefox are saved at??
[10:52] <Carroarmato1> erlinux: 8- Make it public: Now choose Edit > Preferences, click Calendar And Tasks, then choose the Calendar Publishing tab. By default, none of your calendars are published to the internet - you need to tell Evolution which ones you want to make public
[10:52] <Dumptruck> how do I use gparted to format to ntfs?
[10:52] <GIn> ubuntu_, sory, can't help you there
[10:52] <GIn> ubuntu_, never done that before
[10:52] <arash> Dumptruck , I dont think that's possible
[10:52] <aguitel> gin, i am in ubuntu ,how format the windows partition?
[10:52] <Moez> warbler : Ok ok. Yes !
[10:52] <warbler> Moez: click that and there will be a list come up
[10:53] <jj__> how do you change an NTFS drive to mount with write capability?
[10:53] <Crustaceanbob> Shadow without livecd the computer does not start
[10:53] <Dumptruck> can I install XP from Ubuntu on a seperate drive?
[10:53] <GIn> aguitel, use gparted
[10:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !ntfs-3g
[10:53] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[10:53] <Carroarmato1> erlinux: Now I think you should go to google calendars and search through the options for a ical link
[10:53] <Moez> warbler : And ?
[10:53] <aguitel> gin ok
[10:53] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, it does not even reach the login screen?
[10:53] <warbler> Moez: go to system- admin and click that
[10:53] <Crustaceanbob> No sir
[10:53] <erlinux> Carroarmato1: ill try it
[10:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: Define from Ubuntu
[10:54] <jonaskul> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu. I'm not new, but its a while since i last used it. however. i get this keyring-instert-password thing all the time. that is that?
[10:54] <Crustaceanbob> But as live I have access to user X directory
[10:54] <Carroarmato1> erlinux: I'm going myself to google calender to see
[10:54] <Dumptruck> I tried partitioning from the XP install disc and it won't let me partition the new drive to install
[10:54] <warbler> Moez: at the bottom will be users & groups - click that
[10:54] <mdlueck> From the ntfs-3g.org web site they link to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009
[10:54] <Dumptruck> Feisty Fawn 7.04
[10:54] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, eh, it sounds like you may need to try a text-based boot then to see why its stopping the boot process but unfortunately, i dont really know what to do with that so youre going to have to ask someone else
[10:54] <mdlueck> Works great BTW!
[10:54] <arash> Dumptruck , If you simply want a Windows installed as well,  you can simply install it, the Windows CD will do the conversion to NTFS for you
[10:54] <erlinux> is this all i need                            "erlinux: 6- Create a Calendar: From the bottom-left side of the window, click Calendars to change Evolution to calendar view.

[10:54] <Dumptruck> can I talk to you guys and install windows from ubuntu's graphical goodness?
[10:54] <Crustaceanbob> Screw it I'll just install a new version
[10:55] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, as for your access to user x's directory, if you go in nautilus and show hidden files, there may be a folder for multiplication you can play around with but i would advise asking someone else
[10:55] <warbler> Moez: now it is back in the menu under system-admin-users & groups
[10:55] <arash> Dumptruck , are you in Live CD or normal?
[10:55] <Carroarmato1> erlinux: ok I found it
[10:55] <Dumptruck> normal
[10:55] <warbler> Moez: ok?
[10:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: Is ubuntu on the primary drive and you are trying to install windows on the second drive?  which version of windows
[10:55] <Carroarmato1> erlinux: go to the configuration page on your google calendar account...
[10:55] <vocx> erlinux, Carroarmato1 If you are following a guide step by step, you may move to a private channel so you don't flood this place. Thank you.
[10:55] <Crustaceanbob> How can I find the program in user x directory?
[10:55] <Dumptruck> Ubuntu is on the primary drive
[10:55] <Carroarmato1> vocx: ok
[10:56] <Dumptruck> XP will be on a secondary
[10:56] <Moez> warbler : Yes, but, when i click, it becomes inactive :(
[10:56] <arash> Dumptruck , I think installing windows is not just that it copies files from the CD to the drive. it does a lot of tasks, like decompression of CD material and checking hard-ware configurations perhaps
[10:56] <kazol> Dumptruck: I've tried installing m$ to the second HD, but it requires a m$ partition on the first.
[10:56] <Dumptruck> then I hope to be able to dual boot
[10:56] <rockets> If I downsize my root (/) partition with gparted from a live cd do i need to do anything else to make linux recognize the new size?
[10:56] <warbler> moez: when you click it in control center or menu?
[10:56] <Dumptruck> uggh...
[10:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: XP doesnt like it but it will do it... and it will mess up your existing ubuntu grub mbr...
[10:56] <dmct> hello, i'm trying to upgrade my evolution email client to 2.10.2, how can i do that?
[10:56] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, it would just have a similar name to desktop multiplication once the hidden files are shown
[10:56] <Dante123> hi all...how do I undo a "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome"....this sounds stupid...but I forgot I was on the wrong computer
[10:56] <Dumptruck> so this is going to be a bigger chore than I first thought?
[10:56] <Crustaceanbob> Shadow If I go to Places then Computer then volume 1 there is my User X, I know somewhere in there is the folder that holds the program I just need to find it
[10:57] <erlinux> Carroarmato1: vocx: ok
[10:57] <arash> Dumptruck, if you just recently installed Ubuntu (it's ok if you remove it) , I recommend to remove the Ubuntu parition form Live CD,  _install windows first!_
[10:57] <msikma> How do I scroll up in a tty?
[10:57] <Dante123> sorry...I mean how do I undo o apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-via
[10:57] <Moez> When i click in "Users and Groups" under "Administration" item in "Main Menu" window.
[10:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: Generally... Windows likes to be the first os installed on the first drive... but it can be done other ways
[10:57] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, i very much doubt the actual program was stored in your home directory, its mainly used for config settings which may have been stored for desktop multiplier/automatix
[10:57] <kazol> Dumptruck: I was thinking of removing the other HD and setting the new one as master, then installing m$. Hopefully GRUB can fool m$ into believing it's the master HD.
[10:57] <Dumptruck> ugggh but it has taken me so long to get ubuntu running smooth and rocking so hard
[10:57] <Crustaceanbob> Shadow I hit control H and it give me a new xorg file
[10:57] <Crustaceanbob> No I know that
[10:58] <Dante123> Can I undo "sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-via"???
[10:58] <PauloZanoni> I added a "script.sh" in the rc2.d directory, its first line contained "#!/bin/bash", but ubuntu was running it as if it were a SH script (not BASH). then, I renamed it to "script" and ubuntu started running it as a BASH script... why the hell is ubuntu looking at file name extensions???????
[10:58] <Xsylotte> any software for bookkeeping practice ?
[10:58] <warbler> Moez: then you don't have the right permissions - is it your box?
[10:58] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, huh to the ctrl h thing?
[10:58] <arash> Dumptruck , ok, then I tink you shouldnt remove ur Ubuntu :), just do in case its recently installed
[10:58] <kazol> Dumptruck: lol, same thing with me-I've customized emerald themes, beryl, gdesklets, gkrellm, screensavers, background, panels, etc.
[10:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: I agree that if you dont have a lot of time and changes into ubuntu that you install windows where it wants to go then ubuntu... but you can save yourself some download time after by...

[10:59] <dmct> hello, i'm trying to upgrade my evolution email client to 2.10.2, how can i do that?
[10:59] <Crustaceanbob> Shadow: I hit control H in User X directory
[10:59] <kazol> arash: I have the same problem as Dumptruck...any suggestions?
[10:59] <msikma> Hmm, I know there's some kind of key combination to scroll up in a text-mode terminal, does anyone know?
[10:59] <Crustaceanbob> It pops up with 3 new files
[10:59] <Moez> warbler : How do it ? With  the terminal ?
[10:59] <Dumptruck> poop pickle
[10:59] <Crustaceanbob> xorg.conf.new
[10:59] <Neverdie> uhm.. i can't get emerald workin... what is wrong
[10:59] <erlinux> Carroarmato1:  go to  #ubuntu-pdx
[10:59] <Adlai> msikma: shift page-up
[10:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: burning a copy of var/cache/apt/archives to a cd for later... that is where ubuntu stores all of the updates and downloads .. that way you dont have to dl them all again
[10:59] <Crustaceanbob> And vmlinuz
[10:59] <Dumptruck> is there any way of not reinstalling ubuntu
[10:59] <Carroarmato1> erlinux: ok
[10:59] <warbler> Moez: we can do it by th terminal but you need admin password
[10:59] <erlinux> K
[10:59] <warbler> *the
[10:59] <arash> Kazol, exactly same? you have done much work on Ubuntu already? if not, I recommend removeing ubuntu, then install windows, then reinstall Ubuntu
[10:59] <Crustaceanbob> and vmlinuz.old
[10:59] <titin> hellooooo
[10:59] <Shadow6363> there arent any folders that begin with . ?
[10:59] <Neverdie> uhm.. i can't get emerald workin... what is wrong?!?!?!
[10:59] <timposey> I am having trouble with grub on a dual boot system... in bios it is showing hd0 is windows hdd, and hd1 is my ubuntu hdd, I can choose in bios and they will boot fine, but I guess I don't have the correct grub configuration.  Help anybody?
[10:59] <aguitel> gin, is necesary to erase in menu.lst the line of windows ?
[11:00] <Moez> warbler : i have the root pass :)
[11:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: Sure, you can force XP to install wherever you want.. but you will lose ubuntu until you repair grub..
[11:00] <GIn> aguitel, nope, but if you do, it won't hurt. But make a backup first
[11:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[11:00] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:00] <Crustaceanbob> I think xorg is the reason I can't login to X user
[11:00] <kazol> arash: There is *no* way I'm removing Ubuntu. I've spent hours customizing emerald themes, beryl, gdesklets, gkrellm, panels, etc.
[11:00] <warbler> Moez:open a terminal
[11:00] <Xsylotte> any software for bookkeeping practice ?
[11:00] <Crustaceanbob> I think I need to replace it
[11:00] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, that sounds like your root, you want to be in /home/userx/
[11:00] <Dumptruck> can I prepare grub before the install?
[11:00] <Moez> warbler : Yes.
[11:00] <timposey> xsylotte, Grisbi but not much support for it..
[11:00] <arash> Kazol , Dumptruck, unfortunately, It's out of my knwoledge scope in how to make  a succesful install with XP, however this JackSparriw seems to know how :)
[11:00] <Crustaceanbob> I am in user X
[11:01] <dmct> hello, i'm trying to upgrade my evolution email client to 2.10.2, how can i do that?
[11:01] <warbler> Moez: type - gksu users-admin
[11:01] <Adlai> kazol: you can back up your system somewhere, install windows, then copy your system back using a liveCD and then perform the grub install
[11:01] <arash> dmct , isn't the upgrades automatic in Ubuntu???
[11:01] <Crustaceanbob> When I installed the program it said xorg is replaced
[11:01] <dmct> no
[11:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: there are things you can do that will make it easier for you after you install windows..
[11:01] <Crustaceanbob> How can I go about switching that out with the old one?
[11:01] <kazol> Adlai: It's too much work and I have custom settings-I'm not worried about the apps.
[11:01] <dmct> every time i try to upgrade, i don't get evolution
[11:01] <Xsylotte> timposey: i will try.
[11:02] <timposey> xsylotte;  also gnucash but I'm not too familiar with that one... the manual for grisbi is in French language.
[11:02] <Dumptruck> easy?
[11:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: run this in a terminal right now...   sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/partition.layout.txt
[11:02] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, if youre fairly sure it is xorg, you could copy the livecd's xorg.conf file over your physical computer's xorg.conf
[11:02] <Xsylotte> ouchie :D
[11:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: easier...
[11:02] <Adlai> kazol: not really that much work...
[11:02] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, i think.
[11:02] <Xsylotte> i am economics student :D i need some software for practice :D i will try to figure out grisbi.
[11:02] <Crustaceanbob> Sweet but I don't know how I can get to user x's xorg file
[11:02] <dmct> i've tried apt-get evolution, but that command doesn't work
[11:02] <arash> dmct , hmm, im a noob, but maybe 'sudo apt-get install evolution' will do the trick...
[11:02] <Moez> warbler : When i put the root password, i have an error message in a window.

[11:03] <Shadow6363> the live cd's xorg.conf will be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf of the livecd filesystem and your old one will be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf of your physical hard drives filesystem
[11:03] <arash> dmct did it work or you thanked me too early ;) ?
[11:03] <Dumptruck> how hard is it to repair grub?
[11:03] <Neverdie> kazol, thnx!!!!
[11:03] <Shadow6363> copy the one over the other
[11:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: First.. dont stress...
[11:03] <Dumptruck> harder than installing the nvidia drivers?
[11:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: Have you made a full backup yet.?
[11:03] <Varreon> yeah... grub is just the files in the /boot on ur filessytem
[11:03] <Dumptruck> not stressed
[11:04] <Dumptruck> I just feel like crying :)
[11:04] <kazol> Neverdie: Those are standard themes, emerald themes are much better-look at those.
[11:04] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, see various messages i sent, forgot to prefix them with your nick
[11:04] <Nathanael> how can i mount my usb drive?
[11:04] <dmct> well, that command doesnt work
[11:04] <Dumptruck> ok so how do I make a full back up
[11:04] <vocx> dmct, you normally cannot upgrade to a newer version unless it fixes security problems. This way programs are stable. If you really want a new version you'll have to wait for the next Ubuntu release.
[11:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: It wont be that bad, at least you asked here first...
[11:04] <Moez> warbler : I lost the window, and now, the command "gksu users-admin" do nothing.
[11:04] <Varreon> sudo mount /dev/urusb /media/usb
[11:04] <dmct> hmm
[11:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: Did you run that command yet?
[11:04] <kazol> Dumptruck: The solution that will work is if you reconnect the EIDE cable to each HD.
[11:04] <dmct> ok
[11:04] <Varreon> replace urusb with whatever your usb is called
[11:04] <Nathanael> thankx
[11:04] <Varreon> and ur gunna have to make a folder under /mount called usb
[11:04] <kazol> DumpTruck: But I prefer a software solution and want extra EXT3 space on the new drive.
[11:05] <NemesisD> for some reason whenever i connect via ssh to this machine after a few minutes i get this: Read from remote host <IP>: Connection reset by peer. anyone know what might be causing this?
[11:05] <Dumptruck> then once I make the back up how do I restore everything?
[11:05] <warbler> Moez: won't do anything without root password
[11:05] <eamonnd> I've been having a problem with my computer overheating. I've heard there are some BIOS settings I can adjust that will help with overheating. Is this true?
[11:05] <dmct> thanks everybody
[11:05] <Adlai> Nathanael: check `dmesg | tail` to see what your usb drive shows up as...it should be /dev/sdb1 or somesuch
[11:05] <Dumptruck> I have a third drive where I can put the back up
[11:05] <Crustaceanbob> Shadow I go into x user's xorg but how do I write to it with permissions
[11:05] <dmct> take care!

[11:05] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, chances are the command will look something like sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg conf /media/somedrive/etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:05] <Varreon> ie phoenix, ami, etc
[11:05] <eamonnd> varreon: are you talking to me?

[11:07] <Varreon> !eamonnd: google your computer, and find what bios it has
[11:07] <Moez> warbler : Can i access to root session with the login window ?
[11:07] <Dumptruck> I have four sata drives
[11:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: IT looks long and complicated... but that is mostly because I am telling it not to backup a lot of stuff
[11:07] <fulio> Hi, can someone help me with the synaptic package manager
[11:07] <Moez> warbler : Ah ! Okay
[11:07] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, when in nautilus, what is the name of the drive
[11:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: the restore command... done from a live cd is...   tar xvpfz backup.tgz -C /
[11:07] <kazol> Dumptruck: Probably depends on whether your BIOS has the option.
[11:07] <warbler> Moez: with the root password
[11:08] <Crustaceanbob> ?
[11:08] <[fireman] > is there any reason why my amarok suddenly looks like its frozen, all I'm doing is importing the music into a db
[11:08] <Dumptruck> it does
[11:08] <matthew> My laptop's "mouse" stopped functioning properly.  Usually when you scroll your finger down the right side it makes the webpage scroll up/down, but this doesn't work any more.  Have no idea why.  Anyone?
[11:08] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, go to /media/
[11:08] <Dumptruck> so I can just install
[11:08] <arash> BrightEyes , please remove that char from ur name, i cant write it now. anyway, try messing around in Alsamixer
[11:08] <fulio> it wont let me do anything
[11:08] <eamonnd> !varreon: I don't even know what kind of gateway laptop I have, it's a hand me down so it didn't come with anything
[11:08] <Dumptruck> set it to the primary drive
[11:08] <Dumptruck> snap
[11:08] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, which of the drives in there is the one your normal os is on?

[11:08] <Dumptruck> repair the grub
[11:08] <f0rtune> matthew: could it be a problem with the hardware
[11:08] <Dumptruck> from live cd
[11:08] <Crustaceanbob> nautilus /media says disk
[11:08] <Moez> warbler : gksu admin-users do nothing, and gksu admin-users root_password do nothing
[11:09] <Varreon> !eamonnd: is there a serial on the front?
[11:09] <eamonnd> varreon: : hold on
[11:09] <kazol> Dumptruck: Learning howto repair GRUB is easy-I have seen many tutorials/articles online.

[11:11] <matthew> Nix0n:  i don't know the brand, it came with the computer.  how can i find out the brand?  No, I haven't done any upgrades recently.  it was sort of strange that just out of the blue this stopped working.  also, the mouse started scrolling faster (but i'm happy about that).

[11:14] <fulio> arash, and under the /etc/apt i got to sources.list and also a sources.list.default
[11:14] <Enselic> a38: nope, this is entirely a routing issue
[11:14] <kazol> Dumptruck: No, just EIDE.
[11:14] <Nathanael> it is /dev/sda
[11:14] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, can you pastebin the whole cp command with results i had you run
[11:15] <Dumptruck> hmmm
[11:15] <a38> Enselic, thanks :)
[11:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: go to Terminal...   sudo su...  cd Desktop...  dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr.backup bs=512 count=1  that will make a copy of your current mbr as well
[11:15] <Dumptruck> I am going to install and change boot priority with the bios
[11:15] <Nix0n> matthew: cat /proc/bus/input/devices
[11:15] <Dumptruck> then repair grub
[11:15] <vocx> Tunix, this is really not a place where you'll find Kernel hackers. Sorry.
[11:15] <arash> fulio: you give password when you ran it right?
[11:15] <fulio> arash, yes i did.
[11:16] <Crustaceanbob> shadow: http://www.pastebin.org/1518
[11:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: Run that same command I just gave you after you get your system dual boot setup... that way you can very quickly repair/restore the mbr after reinstalling windows.
[11:16] <Tunix> ok, thanx for reply.
[11:16] <Moez> warbler : No way :(
[11:16] <warbler> Moez: linux is secure - need password
[11:16] <Moez> warbler : The command "gksu admin-users" still return nothing.
[11:16] <quaal> anyone use avant
[11:16] <arash> fulio:  hm, it's not that thing that you have other programs that deals with packages right? such as 'add/remove programs' ?
[11:16] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, sorry, i meant pastebin "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg conf /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[11:17] <Dumptruck> where do I save it?
[11:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: I reinstalled xp this am... ran the live cd.. stamped mbr back with dd if=mbr.backup of=/dev/sda bs=1   and I was up and running with fresh XP
[11:17] <warbler> Moez:no password - your limited
[11:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Dumptruck: I save mine to a usb.. makes it handy to get to using livecd
[11:17] <fulio> arash, same goes with add/remove programs

[11:21] <radioaktivstorm> hey everyone, i am having an issue with sound cards... where should i start?
[11:21] <Crustaceanbob> I use kdrc
[11:21] <Tausen> @warbler: Well, when I do that, I have no sound. Just recieving "Could not open resource for writing"
[11:21] <m11> bulmer , when i try restart network then i get that error
[11:21] <bulmer> m11 i cant guess..elaborate on what you have, how it is connected to where and which?
[11:22] <Crustaceanbob> Works fine between my laptop and desktop
[11:22] <warbler> hopender:I use gdesklets for a launcher
[11:22] <hopender> Where do I get it?
[11:22] <Nathanael> how can i change the permission of my ntfs usb-drive?
[11:22] <hopender> im sorry for seeming so useless
[11:22] <hopender> i can just google it
[11:22] <m11> bulmer , wlan0 connecting with static ip to router , eth0 no cable present
[11:22] <Shishire> Anyone know how I should go about updating my graphics card driver?
[11:22] <vocx> fulio, the last lines 44 and 45 do not need the quotes "  "
[11:22] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, youre on a local network so you wouldnt have to worry about port forwarding
[11:22] <dk1> Which driver should I use for the gma3100, and how do I get my monitor to display with the correct resolution?
[11:23] <fulio> vocx, how do i remove it?
[11:23] <Crustaceanbob> Oh
[11:23] <neonflx> Shishire: i personally use ENVY
[11:23] <Nathanael> how can i install NFS and SMB?
[11:23] <Crustaceanbob> So we can set up a connection?
[11:23] <bulmer> m11 you tried ifdown wlan0 ? then attempt to bring it up  ifup wlan0  ?
[11:23] <warbler> Tausen: probably driver issue - never had a prob there - sorry
[11:23] <m11> bulmer, yes both eth0 and wlan0
[11:23] <hopender> Btw this beryl thing, How do I get it, I can't seem to find it
[11:23] <Tausen> Okay, thanks anyway
[11:23] <vocx> fulio, open the file with "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and remove them.
[11:23] <bulmer> m11 and what happens when you do on both?

[11:24] <Crustaceanbob> I'm working on krdc right now
[11:24] <arash> fulio:  yea, those seems unneccesary... do gksu gedit <filename>
[11:24] <m11> bulmer , it is detecting dhcp from eth0

[11:24] <bulmer> m11: you said you dont have a cable connected on eth0 but yet you're telling me it detects dhcp?
[11:25] <Nathanael> how can i access ntfs as a regular user?
[11:25] <radioaktivstorm> tausen, i am getting a similar output on this end
[11:25] <dk1> what should I punctuate with?
[11:25] <hopender> Where do I download it?
[11:25] <arash> vocx , i heard today it's illegal to tell people use it (envy)
[11:25] <Zombie> Have you seen this error
[11:25] <m11> bulmer , it is searching DHCPDISCOVER on eth0
[11:25] <Adlai> !ntfs | Nathanael
[11:25] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, since this will probably be easier than port forwarding, install https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/list.asp

[11:25] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, for the  most part, the readme should be good, when you need to know the network to login to, let me know
[11:25] <warbler> hopender: synaptics
[11:25] <RoboticTao> hopender: One sec I'll give you the repos
[11:26] <bulmer> m11 what about wlan0 ? can you paste the result upon .. ifup wlan0 ?
[11:26] <Moez> warbler : The error message is : "Failed to run admin-users as user root"
[11:26] <radioaktivstorm> tausen nope, im doing some research right now on the forums to see if theres anything useful
[11:26] <neonflx> is funnny how [automatix]  and [envy]  get the bot to talk
[11:26] <warbler> hopender: use the search function
[11:26] <Nathanael> event not found
[11:26] <Adlai> Moez: gksu admin-users
[11:26] <m11> bulmer , ifup wlan0 is ok, but i still cant get online
[11:26] <Crustaceanbob> Shadow to be honest.. sadly I don't know hoe to install source like that
[11:26] <warbler> Moez: then your password isn't right - I'd check on that
[11:26] <Moez> Adlai : Yes, there is the message i have after putting "gksudo admin-users"
[11:27] <Tausen> @radioaktivstorm: I tried googling and searching the forums all day, which actually just made my situation worse x) I had my ALSA drivers removed, reinstalled and updated, but now it's even worse than before
[11:27] <m11> bulmer , when i put ifdown eth0 i get RTNETLINK answers: no such proccess
[11:27] <eamonnd> I'm having problems with my gateway m320 laptop, it's overheating and crashing, is there anything I can do in the BIOS menu to make it so that my laptop  slows down before it gets so  hot that it crashes?
[11:27] <neonflx> when it comes down to it anything can break your system
[11:27] <Tausen> @radioaktivstorm: Hope you have better luck though
[11:27] <Pie-rate> i hate cd keys so much. i just bought a new starcraft because i lost the cdkey and i've already lost the cd key again.
[11:27] <warbler> Moez: it is gksu users-admin - users-admin
[11:27] <hopender> Warbler: I found the download for CF, I downloaded a script or something how do I run it. I'm sorry, my first time on linux, but I catch on quick
[11:27] <GIn> m11, do you know the chipset?
[11:27] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, do you think it would be easier to port forward?
[11:27] <vocx> Pie-rate, that is #ubuntu-offtopic material.
[11:28] <warbler> Moez gksu users-admin
[11:28] <radioaktivstorm> Tausen, hmm... i am working with this old computer and it just refuses to play sound; i just installed on this box. thanks for the wishes... this should prove interesting
[11:28] <Tausen> @pie-rate: You should try storing your cdkeys in some kinda database program
[11:28] <hopender> Warbler: This where the terminal comes in?
[11:28] <arash> fulio: did it work?
[11:28] <hopender> Warbler: Oh, btw, Its Hope xD
[11:28] <Moez> warbler : Yes.
[11:28] <m11> Gin , yes , it is Accton Tech group with ndiswrapper
[11:28] <Crustaceanbob> I have no idea, all I know is I can get krdc to work fine
[11:28] <Tausen> @radioaktivstorm: I have a great link for lots of sound issues, I'll find it; one sec
[11:28] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, did you ever run that last command btw?
[11:28] <kazol> For example, if I run "apt-cache search a" and activate job control, how do I run the job in bg without it dumping the output?
[11:28] <RoboticTao> hopender: http://pastebin.com/m1924a725
[11:28] <fulio> arash, i have just changed it right now ima see
[11:28] <GIn> m11, did you try to connect using network manager?
[11:28] <Crustaceanbob> btw? no
[11:29] <Tausen> @radioaktivstorm: Here ya go http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449&highlight=alsa+Could+-open+resource+for+writing.
[11:29] <fulio> arash, yay THANKYOU, yes it does WORK
[11:29] <hopender> RoboticTao: How do I install it, its a .sh file, never seen it before >.<
[11:29] <warbler> hopender:well done - use synaptic package manager - there stable
[11:29] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, btw = by the way
[11:29] <fulio> vocx, thankyou IT WORKS <3
[11:29] <radioaktivstorm> thanks tausen! hopefully this will help
[11:29] <m11> Gin , dont work , so i took it out long timne ago
[11:29] <Tausen> np radioaktivstorm, hope it works
[11:29] <Moez> warbler : So, there is no solution ?
[11:29] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, try "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[11:29] <m11> Gin , i am using Wicd for GUI connect
[11:29] <Crustaceanbob> Yeah I tried that says its not a dir
[11:30] <warbler> Moez: you keep saying that admin-users doesn't work - it is gksu users-admin
[11:30] <Tausen> !sound
[11:30] <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
[11:30] <Crustaceanbob> The target is not a dir
[11:30] <RoboticTao> kazol: I think it would be program & >> output.txt
[11:30] <GIn> m11, um, I did not mean gong to System -> administration -> network
[11:30] <GIn> m11, there is a gnome tool to connect.
[11:30] <RoboticTao> hopender: Um, use the sources I gave you and install with aptitude
[11:30] <rexyy> how will i se if my wlan card is installed?
[11:30] <Crustaceanbob> I think /media/disk/etc is something like /media/149.6volumedisk/etc
[11:30] <rexyy> it is an usb
[11:30] <m11> Gin, dont work with my other chipset RT so i had to take it out
[11:31] <Moez> warbler : Yes yes, i made an error in writing. "gksu users-admin" do nothing :(

[11:31] <arash_> fulio , i disconnected, did it work?
[11:31] <GIn> m11, can you tell me what you have tried and what steps you have done?
[11:31] <hopender> Robotictao: Whats aptitude xD
[11:31] <vocx> arash_, fulio left, but it worked.
[11:32] <rexyy> how will i se if my wlan card is installed correctly it is a netgear usb wlan card. =
[11:32] <RoboticTao> hopender: It's like apt-get. Just a package management utility
[11:32] <bulmer> m11 after doing ifup wlan0  do dhclient wlan0
[11:32] <Enul> is there a utility that will allow me to cloan a drive?
[11:32] <arash_> If I have several headphone and loudspeakers plugged in, can I decide which that should make the sounds?
[11:32] <GIn> m11, I'm using ndswrapper for my rt2500 wireless card and it works fine
[11:32] <m11> Gin , last night i updated : libwrap0 , and not sure if it is that, but wlan0 refuse to work
[11:32] <hopender> Robotictao: Where do I find it
[11:32] <Moez> warbler : Can i disable the root account ?
[11:32] <KevinOman> what is compiz fusion?
[11:32] <m11> bulmer, no, wlan0 have static adrress
[11:32] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, can you pastebin "ls -a /media/"
[11:32] <bulmer> rexyy: dmesg and near the end it should tell you if it detected that usb device
[11:33] <Moez> warbler : And recreate it after fixing the problem.
[11:33] <m11> Gin , i use compiled drivers with RT
[11:33] <rexyy> bulmer: k lemme check
[11:33] <vocx> rexyy, use "iwconfig" It should print information on the device.
[11:33] <kazol> KevinOman: The new compiz+beryl app.
[11:33] <m11> Gin , and ndiswrapper for Accton usb adapter
[11:33] <bulmer> m11: paste your /etc/network/interfaces  config..and you own the AP right?
[11:33] <madera> What is the "Ubuntu way" of disabling rc init programs?
[11:33] <KevinOman> kazol, I have bery now, you know how I can safely remove it?
[11:33] <warbler> Moez: it is linux - without the root password you are limited - that is the way it works
[11:33] <m11> bulmer , yes , room next door is AP
[11:33] <rexyy> bulmer: i got logs from syslog when i type dmesg
[11:33] <KevinOman> kazol beryl
[11:33] <RoboticTao> hopender: It's alreay installed your just have to go to a terminal. copy those sources to the sources.list then sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install compiz core compiz icon
[11:34] <rexyy> lsusb is better i think
[11:34] <m11> bulmer , 1 min, i need switch to this PC
[11:34] <hopender> Man im confused ^^
[11:34] <bulmer> rexyy: correct..near the end when you plug in your device..it should detect your usb
[11:34] <kazol> KevinOman: I've never done it, but before doing it, try saving all of your work and terminating the beryl job.
[11:34] <Enul> I have a duel boot system but i havent needed to log into windows for awhile now and i am thinking about trashing my windows installation and moving ubunto onto the larger hard drive. Is there a utility that will cloan the hard drive i have linux installed on or would it be better to just reinstall ubuntu?
[11:34] <Chimp> installing ubuntu onto a laptop with only an external cd drive it wont recognise, no floppy, combined with the fact it wont recognise a bootable usb key, is difficult
[11:34] <KevinOman> ok thanks
[11:34] <Crustaceanbob> shadow http://www.pastebin.org/1522
[11:34] <warbler> hopender: lets start again?
[11:34] <rexyy> bulmer: but it dosent, dosen exist
[11:34] <kazol> KevinOman: Nothing bad should happen except if you have important work open.
[11:34] <rexyy> damn
[11:34] <RoboticTao> hopender: k let me do this step by step. One sec
[11:34] <hopender> Warbler: Lets
[11:35] <hopender> Robotictao: K xD
[11:35] <radioaktivstorm> oh, while im on here.. i broke my wireless yesterday with knetwork manager... i tried to select automatic for the wifi detection thing ... and now the only option left in nm-applet is manual configuration :( any one know whats going on
[11:35] <kazol> KevinOman: You know howto terminate tasks and stuff like that?
[11:35] <wardancr> Hello, I'm unable to boot into my kubuntu Feisty setup, I tried also booting with the install CD and it hangs. I tried setting the settings to remove the quiet option. I can see that it stops after detecting the harddrive
[11:35] <warbler> hopender:what's up now?
[11:35] <wardancr> Is there any way for me to get more information on why it is stalling?
[11:35] <bulmer> rexyy:  so it has not detected it when you plugged in.. now unplugged and replug it in..and do tail -f /var/log/messages
[11:35] <hopender> warbler: I think Robotictao will help, but how do I change the resolution I can only find desktop stuff in the preferences
[11:35] <rexyy> bulmer:  k w8
[11:36] <nwallace> hi i have recently installed ubuntu server 6.06 can someone help me with my networking
[11:36] <RoboticTao> hopender: ok first open your sources.list with gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list. Copy these to the bottom. deb http://ppa.dogfood.launchpad.net/amaranth/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://ppa.dogfood.launchpad.net/amaranth/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse
[11:36] <vocx> madera, I think the "update-rc.d" manual page tells you how to deactivate the scripts. I also think there are README files that tell you which package you should install to get the documentation.
[11:36] <Tausen> Does anyone know anything about "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing." when clicking the 'test' button in sound preferences, having ALSA selected?
[11:36] <bulmer> wardancr: ctrl + alt + F1  and you see whats going on..also F2 or 3 or 4
[11:36] <hopender> where do i do gksu gedeit?
[11:36] <warbler> hopender: it is a neew os - first we have to set up the video driver
[11:36] <rexyy> bulmer: i got this usb 2-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
[11:36] <wardancr> bulmer: I have nothing on those consoles, just starting the kernel
[11:36] <hopender> warbler: Explain that in just a sec
[11:36] <warbler> *new
[11:36] <warbler> k
[11:37] <bulmer> rexyy: there..now you know its dtected
[11:37] <RoboticTao> hopender: it depends, you may have to add it by hand. it should be under screen resolution
[11:37] <KevinOman> kazol not really
[11:37] <rexyy> bulmer: how will i install it then :)
[11:37] <madera> Thanks, the answer is "update-rc.d" then ;-)
[11:37] <bulmer> wardancr: you said you were installing? i assume fresh install of ubuntu?
[11:37] <RoboticTao> hopender: in a terminal
[11:37] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, i really have to go right now for an hour or so, but perhaps if you still need help later, we can continue this,  it may be wise to repost your problem though to get another perspective
[11:37] <kazol> KevinOman: Run "top|grep beryl"
[11:37] <takamarou> hi, im trying to get ndiswrapper or prism2... or anything... on my Virtual Machine right now, can someone help me with this?
[11:37] <Moez> wabler : Here how it started in the beginning : I rename my login nickname to another nickname. And, after restarting. My session (With the new login) dosen't have the same rights then the old session.
[11:37] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, before i leave though could you pastebin "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf" so i can look at it when i get back
[11:37] <bulmer> rexyy: what are you trying to install? i thought you just wanted to know if it is dtected
[11:38] <hopender> Robotictao: Ok I typed the gksu stuff and then it asked for my password and I hit enter, now I copy what ot where?
[11:38] <wardancr> bulmer: I have an existing install but I can't boot into it anymore (motherboard was replaced), it is the same mobo as before
[11:38] <rexyy> bulmer: no, my wlan usb adapter
[11:38] <Crustaceanbob> Shadow I think I might just wipe it again...
[11:38] <wardancr> bulmer: I can boot just fine in windows, gentoo boot cd also works
[11:38] <nwallace> i can access my server with my domain name from my laptop on the wireless router but i can not get an internet connection for the ubuntu server
[11:38] <RoboticTao> hopender:
[11:38] <RoboticTao> deb http://ppa.dogfood.launchpad.net/amaranth/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse
[11:38] <RoboticTao> deb-src http://ppa.dogfood.launchpad.net/amaranth/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse
[11:38] <RoboticTao> those are the sources to add  and the command is gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:38] <Crustaceanbob> Wait
[11:38] <hopender> I did
[11:38] <Crustaceanbob> It worked
[11:38] <Crustaceanbob> I think
[11:38] <hopender> a  box popped up
[11:38] <Moez> wabler : Now, the problem is that i still use my session, but with another nickname in the login and anothers rights.
[11:38] <bulmer> rexyy: then the driver for it must be loaded..most likely an ndiswrapper
[11:38] <hopender> Robotictao: Now I went to that site and its an Index of, what do I download
[11:39] <rexyy> bulmer: hm, can you be more specifik?==)
[11:39] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, if there are no errors, you should be able to restart without the livecd and log into some account
[11:39] <RoboticTao> No, you add those lines to the file you just opened
[11:39] <hopender> nv
[11:39] <kazol> KevinOman: Then press Ctrl-C
[11:39] <hopender> nvm
[11:39] <RoboticTao> The lines that start with deb
[11:39] <Tausen> Does anyone know anything about "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing." when clicking the 'test' button in sound preferences, having the ALSA option selected? OSS works fine, but only plays one source. Anyone?
[11:39] <GIn> I found a bug in gnome compressed files extractor...
[11:39] <Crustaceanbob> I think it did my friend
[11:39] <hopender> might help if I actually read
[11:39] <Crustaceanbob> I'll let you know
[11:39] <Crustaceanbob> I'll be back in an hour
[11:39] <bulmer> rexyy: no, i dont have the exact steps..but i fyou google for ndiswrapper tutorial..you'd find plenty
[11:39] <Shadow6363> Crustaceanbob, anyways, sorry things havent worked out so well, perhaps itll work, let me know what happens
[11:39] <FireZ> restarting
[11:39] <Crustaceanbob> And let you know
[11:39] <Crustaceanbob> I will
[11:40] <kazol> KevinOman: And run "kill {job number that was displayed for beryl}."
[11:40] <Crustaceanbob> Thanks a lot man
[11:40] <rexyy> bulmer: then i just can say thx alot man.
[11:40] <bulmer> wardancr: this is dual boot?
[11:40] <wardancr> bulmer: yes
[11:40] <RoboticTao> hopender: When you have done that then run this command sudo aptitude update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager
[11:40] <vocx> rexyy, at this point you should browse the ubuntu forums for an appropriate guide regarding your USB device.
[11:40] <m12> bulmer , http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35844/
[11:40] <arash_> Hi, If I have several headphone and loudspeakers plugged in, can I decide which that should make the sounds?
[11:40] <bulmer> rexyy: there is ndiswrapper channel
[11:40] <takamarou> can someone help me in getting ndiswrapper on a virtual machine?
[11:40] <Moez> warbler : Here how it started in the beginning : I rename my login nickname to another nickname. And, after restarting. My session (With the new login) dosen't have the same rights then the old session.

[11:40] <ubotu> Tausen: 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
[11:40] <Moez> warbler : Now, the problem is that i still use my session, but with another nickname in the login and anothers rights.
[11:40] <hopender> wait you said feisty main something something
[11:40] <wardancr> bulmer: I even tried disconnecting the hard drives and boot with the install CD and it didn't help
[11:40] <hopender> but after main the next one doesnt exist
[11:41] <kazol> This is messed up-when I run "su" and type my pswd in, I get "authentication failure."
[11:41] <[fireman] > damn
[11:41] <warbler> Moez: you went to the root login
[11:41] <Pelo> takamarou, you might have better luck asking in a channel for your vm
[11:41] <takamarou> ok
[11:41] <[fireman] > acetoneISO doesn't work Grrrrrrrrr
[11:41] <bulmer> brb..am on the phone
[11:41] <vocx> bulmer, he does not even know if he needs ndiswrapper. You should encourage him to try to solve his problem with a guide first.

[11:41] <Pelo> !iso | [fireman] 
[11:42] <Tausen> stefg: I tried installing, updating and reinstalling the ALSA driver, libs, etc. but nothing seems to work. Isn't that roughly whats described on those pages?

[11:42] <hopender> Robotictao: What do I download off that site?
[11:42] <warbler> Moez: to rename for login you need users & groups
[11:42] <[fireman] > Pelo :D
[11:42] <stefg> Tausen: to have more than one audio source you either need the esd sound daemon or the dmix plugin
[11:43] <RoboticTao> hopender: You don't go to the website. you add those lines to the bottom of the sources.list file
[11:43] <davetarmac> I am having a problem with wine and getting in to winecfg - it says that I am having problems with ALSA. How can I change this without using the winecfg GUI?
[11:43] <warbler> Moez: it is linux
[11:43] <[fireman] > pelo man

[11:43] <hopender> Robotictao: Oh, ok I added em, now I save it then close it?
[11:43] <Moez> warbler : Yes yes, but i do it after this problem and i enter the root password to do it. But now, the root password dosen't work
[11:43] <RoboticTao> hopender: Yeah
[11:43] <hopender> Could not save the file File not found?

[11:44] <arash_> !socialize [fireman] 
[11:44] <RoboticTao> Once again you should open the file with gksu gedit /etc/apt/source.list
[11:44] <hopender> I did
[11:44] <warbler> Moez: only way to change root password is in users & groups with the root password
[11:44] <stefg> !root
[11:44] <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
[11:45] <Moez> warbler : Okay. Thank you for your help.

[11:45] <RoboticTao> hopender: Does it show a file with a lot of text?
[11:46] <hopender> nope
[11:46] <hopender> its blank
[11:46] <[fireman] > its not an iso
[11:46] <vocx> hopender, what happened is that the file is misspelled. Please take a close look at the file name.
[11:46] <[fireman] > its a .img
[11:46] <[fireman] > would the same thing work?
[11:46] <RoboticTao> hopender: You are running ubuntu right
[11:46] <vocx> !tab | hopender
[11:46] <ubotu> hopender: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[11:46] <hopender> of course

[11:46] <arash_> [fireman]  then u can make it an .iso

[11:47] <arash_> [fireman]  oh, did I mess it up with .bin :-(
[11:47] <warbler> hopender: if it is blank you are creating a new file
[11:47] <davetarmac> warbler: that this is all well and good, but it didn't tell me what to do in the case of not being able to access winecfg
[11:47] <[fireman] > :/
[11:47] <GIn> it would be nice if you can use any empty space of a window to move it around instead using the titlebar only
[11:47] <WX9J> can anyone explain why fdisk -l only shows the usb flash drive ?
[11:47] <hopender> no luck
[11:47] <hopender> im gonna reboot

[11:49] <arang2> hi guys
[11:49] <stefg> davetarmac: #winehq
[11:49] <Fub> I'm having problems setting up samba. It seems to work,
[11:49] <davetarmac> stefg: ta very much
[11:50] <stefg> !samba | Fub
[11:50] <ubotu> Fub: 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
[11:50] <warbler> davetarmac: just went to look and it seems dead - try #ubuntu-effects
[11:50] <Fub> I can share folders but the shared folders can't be written to over the net
[11:50] <arash_> [fireman] : Sorry :-(, are there any other 'small' files in the folder with the .img?
[11:50] <radek> hi, do you now Pointix Pop-Mouse under Windows? Exist similar program for Linux?
[11:50] <Pelo> Fub,  there is also a #samba channel if you need more then this channel can provide
[11:50] <whatisokay> Fub, make sure you have 'writable=yes' in your smb.conf
[11:50] <WX9J> ubotu: is there a way to store an image of a regular music CD to burn an exact copy later on ?
[11:50] <Fub> thanks
[11:50] <[fireman] > no arash_
[11:50] <arang2> any of u guys know if it is advisable or possible to share the same folder with samba and nfs at the same time? if so how cos the shared folders app in system only lets me choose one or the other
[11:50] <stefg> Fub: authentication... you need an account on the server
[11:50] <Fub> whatisokay, it is
[11:50] <warbler> davetarmac: #wine exists
[11:51] <vocx> !bot | WX9J

[11:51] <whatisokay> okay....
[11:51] <KevinOman> how do I use the broken filter?
[11:51] <Fub> stefg, ah, that might be it, so I just do an adduser <sambausernam>?
[11:51] <Pelo> KevinOman,  broken filter ?
[11:51] <whatisokay> maybe you need to change the permissions on the folder itself
[11:51] <KevinOman> software sources said I have a broken package in my system to use the broken filter
[11:51] <stefg> Fub: better reaqd the howto
[11:51] <KevinOman> pelo yes
[11:51] <arash_> [fireman] : hmm, what oculd be the difference between .iso and .img, well maybe try search a bit in synaptic, then search some on google.....
[11:52] <Pelo> KevinOman,  menu >syustem > admin > synaptic ,  check in the buttons on the lower left
[11:52] <whatisokay> Fub, i had a lot of trouble before i was able to samba working properly on my ubu-server
[11:52] <Flare> Well that's weird"
[11:52] <whatisokay> so i feel your pain
[11:53] <Fub> whatisokay, it seems tricky, yes, but I'm still in the early stages, I will try read a bit more info online
[11:53] <hopender> RoboticTao: What was it again I typed, gksu gedit etc/app/sources.list?
[11:53] <whatisokay> Fub, -- never hurts

[11:53] <dk1> ok, ubuntu just breaks with my video card and monitor
[11:53] <dk1> can someone please help?
[11:53] <whatisokay> dk1, what is your video card?
[11:54] <KevinOman> thanks pelo
[11:54] <dk1> intel gma3100
[11:54] <whatisokay> hmmmm......
[11:54] <dk1> whatisokay: it is onboard
[11:54] <m12> pelo , breakdown ? :)
[11:54] <hopender> warbler: Its empty yet its supposed to have stuff in it, whats wrong
[11:54] <msikma> Hey there, I want to torrent files on this machine (make it act as server), preferably with some kind of web interface. Any suggestions?
[11:54] <whatisokay> figured ...
[11:54] <stefg> Fub, whatisokay : once you understood about accounts, security and authentication mechanisms everything gets clear. Linux is not windows, there *is* indeed some working security in unix/linux
[11:54] <Pelo> dk1,  descrive the symptoms
[11:54] <dk1> I have a widscreen monitor
[11:54] <Pelo> m12, sound a bit final
[11:54] <bulmer> m11 okay..im back..the ip you set on the file, those are reserved in the AP?
[11:54] <Pelo> dk1,  use more words
[11:54] <whatisokay> dkl - desk or lap?
[11:55] <m12> pelo, sounds like it by your description :)
[11:55] <dk1> and it won't display at the proper resolution of 1440x900, it just displays at 1024x768
[11:55] <hopender> Robotictao: you there?
[11:55] <dk1> desktop
[11:55] <warbler> hopender: if it is mt then you type the address wrong - linux is particular
[11:55] <Pelo> m12,  I'll try it , thanks
[11:55] <vocx> Pelo, is moving windows slow? Does it ever crash?
[11:55] <hopender> What do I type?
[11:55] <dk1> additionally, the display driver does not seem to be listed for my specific card or chipset
[11:55] <whatisokay> buy a $14 nvidia chipset card off the internet ..... save yourself the headaches ....
[11:55] <whatisokay> that's my best advice
[11:55] <Pelo> dk1, gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf    manualy add the resolutions you need  then save and restart X
[11:55] <warbler> hopender: if that happens choose to close without saving
[11:55] <m12> pelo, i had similar thing today, just rebooted ,and everything was back in order, pc was runing 5 days full b4 that happened
[11:56] <dk1> whatisokay: arrrg, the whole reason I got this board was to avoid nvidia and binary drivers
[11:56] <whatisokay> lol
[11:56] <warbler> hopender the file?
[11:56] <dk1> Pelo: when I do that, x won't start
[11:56] <Pelo> vocx,  doesn'T crash , just sorts of chockes for several minutes then it gets better
[11:56] <cafuego> dk1: intel gfx?
[11:56] <dk1> I don't think the default vesa driver can fix it
[11:56] <Flare> Weird
[11:56] <dk1> intel gfx?
[11:56] <dk1> is that a particular driver?
[11:56] <erlinux> has anyone here been able to integrate google calendar and evolution so it can read and write???
[11:56] <vocx> hopender, use the file manager "nautilus" to browse the file. It is /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:57] <Pelo> dk1, pastebin xorg.conf so we can have a look
[11:57] <cafuego> dk1: No, just wondering what your gfx chip is.
