[12:04] <Jowi> afief, any luck with that samsung driver?
[12:04] <teimu> is it possible to start a process on another screen from the terminal? screen as in :0, :1, and so forth
[12:05] <Slart> Evanlec: that's running it on my AMD 64x2 6000+ with 2GB and a 8800 GTX
[12:05] <PKdoR> thats a similar setup to mine
[12:05] <elbastardo> what is the current kernel for ubuntu ?
[12:05] <Balsus> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37056/
[12:06] <Evanlec> Slart, oh my, i just got a 8800 gts, was playin with it in windows earlier
[12:06] <Slart> elbastardo:  2.6.20-16 for feisty I think
[12:06] <Evanlec> oblivion i mean
[12:06] <PKdoR> ill tel you guys that games and work are the only reason i'll be keeping my winblows around
[12:06] <elbastardo> Slart: thanx
[12:06] <Balsus> Could some one have a look at this problem please. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37056/
[12:06] <Evanlec> Slart, did u try running it in windows?
[12:06] <elbastardo> Slart: do you happen to know hte current kernel for vanilla-sources
[12:07] <Balsus> Ubotu as mentioned http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37056/
[12:07] <Slart> Evanlec: I got roughly the same numbers playing it on a 7900 gtx with a slightly slower processor too.. I think there's something ugly in the shader-department.. something just doesn't translate right to opengl shaders or something.. I don't think it's gpu bound
[12:07] <Slart> elbastardo: I have no idea, sorry
[12:07] <Yendor> Why is my Knetworkmanager telling me Knetworkmanager not working?! all my drivers are installed correctly...what is the problem, how can I solve it please?

[12:09] <Balsus> well thanks for having a look
[12:09] <erUSUL> elbastardo: current kernel in feisty is ubuntu's 2.6.20
[12:09] <djtigerwolf> does anyone know how to copy msttcorefonts to wine?
[12:09] <Slart> Evanlec: windows version would perhaps give me double the performance compared to running it using linux/wine
[12:09] <Evanlec> okay yea
[12:09] <elbastardo> thanx guys
[12:10] <elbastardo> now i have a diff q

[12:10] <chaelot|home> Hi, I just followed a "howto" on the Ubuntu forum on how to install and set up vnc on my computer - it all seems to work, but when i execute the command "vncviewer localhost:1" to check that it actually works on my machine, it doesn't seem to launch the GDM login session. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[12:10] <elbastardo> i have a MacBook and thinking of installing ubuntu , i was told that older version of kernel wont be good for my laptop "battery life"
[12:11] <elbastardo> is the current kernel for ubuntu safe for a mac laptop
[12:11] <elbastardo> i mean for battery
[12:11] <maxgomes> Hi guys, Im having trouble with my sound card, ..., it is a Realtek high Definition Audio. Its builted on a Toshiba A 135. Can someone help me? Thanks.
[12:11] <chief> !sound | maxgomes
[12:11] <ubotu> maxgomes: 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
[12:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Yendor: You might get a better response in Kubuntu
[12:11] <JeevesMoss> hey everyone!!!!
[12:12] <Yendor> Ahoy.. I am there :)
[12:12] <JeevesMoss> can I get a hand to install/configure ProFTPd?
[12:12] <maxgomes> thanks for your help.
[12:13] <chief> JeevesMoss: look this over: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/settingup-an-ftp-server-on-ubuntu-with-proftpd.html
[12:13] <erUSUL> elbastardo: dunno, i do not have a mac (neither a laptop)
[12:13] <JeevesMoss> chief:  oohhhhh, thanks.  now I've got somewhere to start
[12:14] <elbastardo> erUSUL: as far as i was told the newer version or kernel are pretty darn good , just not sure about Ubuntus kernel , it might be even better i do not know
[12:14] <chaelot|home> is there anyone here that might know why my GDM login session doesn't start when i try to login to my newly setup Xvnc ?
[12:14] <elbastardo> i mean the battery life is excelent ;-)
[12:15] <maxgomes> one question more... to beryl work well is needed to have a 3d card accelerator?
[12:15] <Stwange> Scunizi, thanks for the help, that worked. Is there any chance you could paste your instructions again so I can make a note of them (in case of re-install)
[12:15] <erUSUL> elbastardo: you can install gutsy kernel (2.6.22) on feisty if you like or jus wait untill october and install gutsy
[12:15] <gnutron> chaelot|home - checkout X11 forwarding...maybe.
[12:15] <Javid> OK, how do I make apt aware that I have firefox? I installed from a non-repos source and really don't want to mess with it
[12:16] <thejoe> anyone have problems getting an ati radeon 9500 runnin' w/ compiz ??
[12:16] <someone2005> Whats Grub ?
[12:16] <chief> !grub | someone2005
[12:16] <ubotu> someone2005: 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
[12:16] <kbrosnan> Javid: you should still update the repo version as there are other programs that depend on firefox
[12:16] <gnutron> grand unified boot-loader = GRUB
[12:17] <Javid> kbrosnan, the repos doesn't have 1.5, which I use
[12:17] <someone2005> Thanks
[12:17] <chaelot|home> gnutron: thank you, where do i look up on that ? in the start of this howto i followed on the ubuntu forum it says that i need to go to System -> Administrator -> Login Screen Setup and choose the Security Tab + Enable XDCMP <-- this part cannot be followed in my ubuntu as there is no "Enable XDCMP" switch in the security tab
[12:18] <tibih> chaelot|home: you have to allow remote connection first
[12:18] <chaelot|home> tibih: sounds reasonable, so I did - but still cannot see any trace of the XDCMP thingy in there :(
[12:18] <killjdead> list
[12:18] <killjdead> oops, sory
[12:19] <Ademan> how is abit mobo support?
[12:19] <gnutron> chaelot|home - look in /etc/X11/
[12:19] <kbrosnan> Javid: yes you just keep your install seperate from the repos one
[12:20] <pine> anyone use mocp ??
[12:20] <pine> its an ncurse base music player
[12:20] <killjdead> quick ?: i am seeing alot on forums how to enable cpu freq/power save but not how to disable. how do you disbale it properly so the cpu runs at full speed?
[12:20] <chaelot|home> gnutron: thank you, i will try to figure this out one way or the other :)
[12:20] <chaelot|home> tibih: thank you as well :)
[12:20] <tibih> chaelot|home: in the login tab, enable remote login
[12:21] <gnutron> chaelot|home - welcome
[12:21] <Javid> kbrosnan, I didn't know I could do that
[12:21] <Javid> kbrosnan, it won't overwrite anything?
[12:22] <RxDx> please, what do you guys think that are the best MSN client?
[12:22] <Javid> RxDx, amsn
[12:22] <tibih> chaelot|home:  sorry it's in the remote tab, choose "same as local"
[12:22] <RxDx> Javid, thanks
[12:23] <CaBlGuY> havin issues with ktorrent..  any help me?
[12:23] <tibih> RxDx: I use Gaim
[12:23] <Javid> I used to use gaim until I realized there were much better options :p
[12:23] <RxDx> so.. i think that aMSN is too slow and Gaim doesnt has all functions
[12:23] <RxDx> like webcam
[12:24] <Javid> do apt-cache search msn then
[12:24] <kbrosnan> Javid: just install it to /opt or /usr/local or other dir
[12:24] <Javid> I have no idea how to do that
[12:24] <tibih> RxDx: That's why I like Gaim: no wizz, nudge or webcam :)
[12:24] <Stwange> I'm having trouble installing the flash plugin, I've read something about nspluginwrapper?
[12:25] <CaBlGuY> well, I was..  until I just upgraded to 2.2.1 ..  now seems to be running fine..
[12:25] <VWJ1bnR1> Say guys, whenever I try to configure my modem, I get an error message that says "Modem is Busy."  I have the modem link directed to a TTYS#, but nothing works.
[12:26] <VWJ1bnR1> Wait, why did the last half of my message come out?
[12:26] <djtigerwolf> how do i get msfonts into wine?
[12:27] <Scunizi> Stwange: sorry.. been doing other things..  from the command line do a "sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base".. In the file that opens add the line "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack"... save then sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart.
[12:27] <seraph47> high-freq, is there a way to format my external fat32 hdd to ntfs w/o using gparted?

[12:27] <Balsus> I have gone this far on installing vmware tools and i get this What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)?
[12:27] <Balsus> [/etc] 
[12:27] <VWJ1bnR1> Say guys, whenever I try to configure my modem, I get an error message that says "Modem is Busy."
[12:27] <tibih> Balsus: just press enter the defaults are fine
[12:27] <VWJ1bnR1> What does that usually mean?
[12:28] <Scunizi> VWJ1bnR1: cable "modem" or dial up modem?
[12:28] <Stwange> gnutron, sorry I should have mentioned, I need the 64 bit plugin
[12:28] <IgorSobreira> hi all...ive installed 7.10 but after upgrade the system it doens't even show the login window....all black...
[12:29] <IgorSobreira> anybody could help me?
[12:29] <gnutron> Stwange - me too, its there, one sec
[12:29] <Balsus> thanks tibih   I am such a muppet
[12:29] <chief> IgorSobreira: #ubuntu+1 is for Gutsy support
[12:29] <Stwange> gnutron,  I think i might have found it, cheers
[12:29] <kbrosnan> Javid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[12:29] <P-K> On my laptop I am using feisty and my 3945abg wireless card. On the network icon it doesnt show the signal strength. Is there something else I need to start?
[12:29] <VWJ1bnR1> Scunizi: I'm sorry: I don't know what you mean.  I think it's dial-up.
[12:29] <gnutron> Stwange - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show&redirect=FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[12:29] <Javid> thanks
[12:29] <gnutron> Stwange - it works great.
[12:30] <VWJ1bnR1> Scunizi: Is it a compatability issue?
[12:30] <Stwange> gnutron, it tells me to download firefox, do I really need to uninstall it and reinstall the 32 bit version, or is this just if you don't already have firefox?
[12:30] <gnutron> Stwange - yes you must. the 64 bit will not work.
[12:30] <Stwange> aight cheers
[12:30] <ambrose_> hey wen i try to  ./configure a tar.gz file its says no zlib found  maybe its cuz i didnt download zlib?
[12:31] <gnutron> Stwange - no un-installing anything.
[12:31] <ambrose_> any help on that fellow ubuntuers
[12:31] <Scunizi> VWJ1bnR1: well is it the modem that provides the internet to your computer? or are you going to use it for faxing via a normal phone line?
[12:31] <kravlin> is a link just the same as a shortcut in windows? Cause i have a folder that's used in several different instances and i only want the folder to occur once (less waste of disk space)
[12:31] <gnutron> ambrose_ tar -zxf file.tar.gz
[12:31] <Stwange> gnutron, I wish I'd read that a second ago
[12:31] <ambrose_> ur missing the v
[12:31] <tibih> kravlin: no they are different
[12:32] <gnutron> v isnt required but its cool. i think.
[12:32] <ambrose_> lol and i extracted but wen i try to ./configure it says no zlib found
[12:32] <kravlin> tibih: so if i have a link to a folder in place of a folder would it work?
[12:32] <kravlin> or what's up with that?
[12:32] <rambo3> !find zlib
[12:32] <tibih> kravlin: yes it will
[12:32] <kravlin> tibih: Nice! Thanks!
[12:32] <gnutron> ambrose_ try apt-get install build-essential first, possibly.
[12:32] <ubotu> Found: libcompress-zlib-perl, libio-zlib-perl, libruby1.8, zlib1g, zlib1g-dev (and 4 others)
[12:33] <ambrose_> yea i already did that ima recheck stay online
[12:33] <ambrose_> ohh and thx
[12:33] <VWJ1bnR1> Scunizi: I'm going to use it as an Internet connection to my computer.
[12:34] <kravlin> tibih: so what's the difference besides that? Is there a definition or something?
[12:34] <IgorSobreira> is possible to install somthing in live cd? just to try before install the system...(i wanna install the madwifi module..for my wireless)
[12:34] <VWJ1bnR1> Scunizi: I should probably mention I was using KPPP.
[12:34] <Scunizi> VWJ1bnR1: so will it have to dial a number or does a cable tv type wire screw into the back of it?
[12:34] <CoasterMaster> IgorSobreira: yes, you can install anything that doesn't require a restart (I'm not sure if installing madwifi does or not)
[12:34] <tibih> kravlin: there is two kind of link: hard and soft
[12:34] <Scunizi> VWJ1bnR1: ah.. sounds like DSL.. is that right?
[12:34] <VWJ1bnR1> Scunizi: It will have to dial a number.
[12:35] <Ademan> hey i've got a friend who's trying to use ubuntu, but he says the liveCD crashes right after the progress bar completes.  he's got a geforce 8800 gts.  His monitor says no signal detected after that point.  Is there any sort of fix for this?  I'm kind of wondering if it's the mobo since only xorg would crash if, for instance the nv driver doesn't support the 8800 series (which we know it doesnt)
[12:35] <kravlin> tibih: ok.
[12:35] <tibih> kravlin: I allways use soft link (ln -s)
[12:35] <VWJ1bnR1> Scunizi: Please don't take this the wrong way, but why are you asking me all these questions?
[12:35] <IgorSobreira> CoasterMaster: hum..ok..but i guess madwifi needs to restart... :T
[12:35] <ambrose_> ok yea i already installed it
[12:36] <kravlin> tibih: and the difference between hard and soft?
[12:36] <tibih> kravlin: But i dont really what are the diffence, google can provide you with more detailed answers than me :)
[12:36] <ambrose_> did any 1 installed zlib to compile
[12:36] <gnutron> kravlin - a happy gf. :)
[12:36] <kravlin> gnutron: lol
[12:36] <kravlin> guntron: I figured someone was gonna say something like that.
[12:37] <Stwange> heh
[12:37] <Scunizi> VWJ1bnR1: to determine the right kind of answers for your problem.. You didn't give enough info in the beginning to make any judgements.  There's a big difference between a DSL "modem" and a standard die-in-the-woll modem typically used for faxing.  If it's DSL, sorry I can't help.
[12:37] <gnutron> kravlin - my bad, offtopic...sorry :)
[12:37] <kravlin> gnutron: Hey. Its amusing. You get points for that.
[12:37] <P-K> what connection manager does everyone else use?
[12:38] <Stwange> gnutron, I uninstalled 64 bit firefox (I know you told me not to, I just got it a bit late), followed all the instructions, closed firefox, typed firefox32 & and got: james@blackweb:~/Desktop/firefox$ Cannot execute /usr/local/firefox32/firefox: No such file or directory - and now I don't have a browser to check the instructions :)
[12:38] <Stwange> any idea?
[12:38] <tibih> kravlin: more at http://linuxgazette.net/105/pitcher.html
[12:38] <woooooosh> ambrose_,  you generally just need build-essential to compile
[12:38] <ShiftyPowers> anyone having issues with sudo apt-get update?
[12:38] <ShiftyPowers> servers are down?
[12:39] <Xero> After updating nvidia-glx I get a white screen bug. Can I have some help?
[12:39] <VWJ1bnR1> I don't think it's DSL, but then again, I'm not sure.
[12:39] <gnutron> Stwange - you need to mv /your/firefoxinstall to /usr/localfirefox32
[12:39] <kravlin> tibih: thanks for the link
[12:39] <ambrose_> does it activate by itself wooosh
[12:39] <VWJ1bnR1> Scunizi: I don't think it's DSL, but then again, I'm not sure.
[12:39] <ikon> i need to know how the hell can i see the listening port of my postgreSQL with nmap
[12:39] <gnutron> Stwange - you need to mv /your/firefoxinstall to /usr/local/firefox32  read the directions carefully.
[12:39] <Xero> PLEASE help. I'm very impatient and have been waiting for hours (leaving off and on)
[12:39] <Scunizi> VWJ1bnR1: there in lies the problem.  difficult to fix when the item is a mystery.
[12:39] <kravlin> tibih: i'm running a series of Counterstrike (A game) servers and i want one maps file. There's no reason to have a file for each server.
[12:40] <ambrose_> becuz i installed it and tryed to comppile and it said no zlib found
[12:40] <JeevesMoss> ok, I have ProFTPd installed, how do I configure users and directories they can access?
[12:40] <Xero> ARGH
[12:40] <tibih> kravlin: so soft link enable you to share the map directory across servers
[12:40] <Stwange> gnutron, thanks, I think I remember reading a forgetting that (not that I can check lol) so just move the /Desktop/firefox to /usr/local/firefox32 (as in, the folder I downloaded)?
[12:40] <VWJ1bnR1> Scunizi: Can we assume I don't have DSL?
[12:40] <woooooosh> ambrose_,  did you do tar xzfv on the tar ?
[12:41] <gnutron> Stwange - correct
[12:41] <kravlin> yeah. But i need it to think its still in the same directory.
[12:41] <ambrose_> i thought it was tar -zxvf
[12:41] <Jack_Sparrow> VWJ1bnR1: Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS
[12:41] <woooooosh> ambrose_, if one doesnt work use the other :o
[12:41] <ambrose_> ok
[12:41] <ambrose_> brb
[12:41] <ikon> how can i see the listening port of my postgreSQL with nmap?
[12:42] <Stwange> gnutron, there's already a file /usr/local/firefox32 (not a folder, a file), does this matter?
[12:42] <VWJ1bnR1> Jack_Sparrow: Nothin' on ttyS.
[12:42] <gnutron> JeevesMoss - use the proftp.conf, probably in /etc/proftp.conf file. filename may vary.
[12:42] <woooooosh> ShiftyPowers, update is working fine for me
[12:42] <JeevesMoss> anyone?  adding users to a ProFTP server?
[12:43] <ShiftyPowers> woooooosh, yeah working fine now
[12:43] <Jack_Sparrow> VWJ1bnR1: So if it is a dial up modem it isnt on a standard port
[12:43] <VWJ1bnR1> Jack_Sparrow: or does dmesg start from bootup?
[12:43] <gnutron> VWJ1bnR1 - dmesg is created every boot
[12:43] <VWJ1bnR1> Because I turned off my computer after trying the modem.
[12:44] <Jack_Sparrow> VWJ1bnR1: YOu run that command from terminal...

[12:52] <enoj_> Hi guys. When I try to chose screen resolution, I can only choose between 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480. I want 1280x1024. Why can't i choose that one? I tried dpkg-reconfigure on xorg-server with -phigh option and chose 1280, but didn;t change anything ..

[01:01] <Stwange> can anyone tell me why my wireless won't connect to the router? It's a D-Link Airplus DWL-520+, and it is detected and it detects the router, but it never connects (it tries for about 30 seconds, then connects to wired instead). There is no encryption/key/any security on this router (I removed it all in case that was the problem). Any ideas?

[01:04] <d4rkmonkey> adam__ repeating your question won't get you an answer.
[01:04] <CoasterMaster> adam__, from Best Buy or something
[01:04] <nikolam> tarelerulz: piece of cake. Control remotely throught ssh console and even start X-windows remotely with applications running on machine with no monitor :)
[01:05] <neverblue> i believe its a taunt ppl
[01:05] <adam__> xD
[01:05] <SpudDogg> does anyone know if banshee is better/less buggy than rhythmbox?
[01:05] <Slart> tarelerulz: it will simplify things if you can hook up a monitor and a keyboard to configure it.. but after that ssh and vnc will enable you to use it without monitor/keyboard
[01:05] <d4rkmonkey> SpudDogg I don't think so, Amarok works well though.
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> tarelerulz: You can also look into kvm switches, I control multiple machines with one monitor using hot keys
[01:06] <Asuka> i opened up sudo nano /ect/x11/xorg.conf and its just an empty screen surrounded by a title bar at the top and options at the bottom
[01:06] <Asuka> is it supposed to look like that?

[01:07] <Asuka> oh, and i write that in terminal, right?
[01:07] <Pici> Asuka: yes.
[01:07] <CoasterMaster> !warez > Skrypt
[01:07] <Asuka> it says permission denied
[01:07] <Slart> isn't there a keyword for remote operation..
[01:07] <Slart> !remote
[01:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about remote - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:08] <d4rkmonkey> SpudDogg I think so, but I don't know how it works, I run rockbox on my ipod, and my library is in .ogg so I don't really use a program to transfer songs
[01:08] <Asuka> I'm the admin for this computer though...
[01:08] <tag> is it just me or is swing/etc in java-6 buggy as crap?

[01:08] <hab> QUESTION: The driver sources that AMD/ATI will release will also affect my poor ATI 9600XT?
[01:08] <iTG`Neatchee> Hi everyone.  I'm getting a segfault in libc.so.6 when I try to run gnome-keybinding-properties.  I've tried doing a backtrace but I've been unable to find the proper debugging symbols for gnome-control-center.  Any help would be appreciated
[01:08] <leftyrighty> how do I set 1440X900 Resolution?
[01:08] <tarelerulz> Jack_sparrow , I have try I have try controlling like that before and the one thing that don't seem to work is the name of the computer I all ways have to use its ip . how would I set it up for name rather then an ip
[01:08] <Skrypt> CoasterMaster: I asked about Demonoid you self righteous wank. Not about warez. Not about MP3s. Not about illegal movies. But, how kind of you anyways.
[01:09] <Slart> hab: I think you'll be better off asking AMD/ATI that..
[01:09] <CoasterMaster> Skyrpt: either way, it's not for discussing here....
[01:09] <someone2005> to get the kernel version what do I type ?
[01:09] <hab> Slart: You mean that the kind of info I ask for are not currently available?
[01:09] <bung> anyone here have any problem getting their ipw2100 (or whatever built in wireless driver for 2100s ubuntu uses) working with WPA ??
[01:09] <hab> Skrypt: language and the rest..
[01:10] <hab> or maybe not.. I don't really care.
[01:10] <Skrypt> lol.
[01:10] <nikolam> hab: hopely not. I don know reely but I think that 9200/9600 is well supported now
[01:10] <poncho> how do i get compiz fusion and devilspie to work with each other, can someone point me in the right direction
[01:10] <Slart> hab: I've just heard them say that "we will get better at linux drivers..mumble mumble open source mumble mumble"
[01:10] <Skrypt> hab: wank offends you?
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> tarelerulz: kvm has nothing to do with that... it is like a completly sep box.. just sharing the monitor and key and mouse
[01:10] <PKdoR> can i use my hotmail with evolution mail?
[01:10] <IsleVegan> aloha :-) any folks know how to make permanent the changes enacted by the command: "sudo iwconfig wlan0 power on" ? right now, it resets to power management off upon reboot
[01:10] <hab> Skrypt: Not at all.. actually... I'll go right now..nvm
[01:10] <hab> Slart: I see.
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> PKdoR: It should work on any pop enabled account
[01:11] <tarelerulz> Jack_sparrow , I understand  that ,but I was asking about the name thing becuase I have never gotten that  work and I an wanted to know what I could do .
[01:11] <sgtmattbaker> hello
[01:11] <leftyrighty> hello
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> tarelerulz: I dont understand the question....
[01:12] <tripte1> what's the command to start xterm in specified dir like "xterm -gotodir=/foobar" and an xterm would start with /fubar as pwd...???
[01:12] <hab> tripte1: as pwd?
[01:12] <Zampaktu> hi, i have a problem with gnome on feisty, when i log in nothing happens, i only see the brown background. i when i ran it in safe mode it works fine, does any idea?
[01:12] <hab> Aw, as pwd.
[01:12] <tripte1> qwd then
[01:12] <tarelerulz> The vnc says the computer should have a name ,but when I try use the name like tareleulz_computer:1 I don't get any thing . I all ways have to use it ip
[01:12] <tripte1> wd
[01:13] <hab> tripte1: Not really the best way but: xterm -e cd /foobar , would do it.
[01:13] <leftyrighty> anyone know how to set ubuntu for a higher resolution? I'm stuck at 1024X768
[01:13] <tripte1> hab, I want to start it from thunar
[01:14] <Jack_Sparrow> tarelerulz: vnc is not the same as kvm...
[01:14] <askand> And can I somehow make the video follow the movement of the cube in compiz..now the video isnt "3d"
[01:14] <hab> dunno what thunar is.
[01:14] <Scunizi> leftyrighty: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set your perameters there.
[01:14] <sgtmattbaker> I think thunar is a file manager
[01:14] <Jack_Sparrow> hab: thunar is a lightweight file manager..like nautilus
[01:14] <marmer> hy all, is it possible to remove all pachages that are not installed but lay in hard disk? Synaptic>Status>Not installed    I need these?
[01:14] <Jack_Sparrow> hab: butnot as bloated
[01:14] <aryr100> hello all
[01:14] <nikolam> hello
[01:14] <Evanlec> how do i tell what kernel version i hve?
[01:14] <Scunizi> leftyrighty: then you have to sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[01:14] <hab> I see, sorry not a GNOME guy. Dolphin does it for me.
[01:14] <Evanlec> !kernel-version
[01:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel-version - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:14] <tarelerulz> Jack_sparrow , I understand that just asking about why  the name vnc give you not work . anyone know
[01:15] <tripte1> hab: yeah, xfce's file manager
[01:15] <Zampaktu> Evanlec: uname -r
[01:15] <aryr100> got alittle problem
[01:15] <Evanlec> ty
[01:15] <hab> Aw well, tripte1 try: xterm -e thunar /foobar
[01:15] <sgtmattbaker> I like Windows explorer for my fm :p
[01:15] <gnutron> Evanlec - in a terminal type uname -a
[01:15] <Evanlec> tx
[01:15] <aryr100> delated the bottom bar then readded it but firefox does not min to it ?
[01:15] <d4rkmonkey> sgtmattbaker ... why?
[01:15] <hab> Is there a package for the flash plugin. Bored going to the macromedia site D:
[01:16] <Flannel> !flash | hab
[01:16] <ubotu> hab: 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
[01:16] <hab> :O
[01:16] <d4rkmonkey> hab flash-plugin-nonfree I believe
[01:16] <Zampaktu> anybody knows how to fix a screwed up gnome session, nothing happens when i log in now.
[01:16] <sgtmattbaker> I was being sarcastic
[01:16] <hab> Thanls.
[01:16] <marmer> ?`
[01:16] <Evanlec> is it cool to update gnome desktop in ubuntu or is that not worth the trouble?
[01:16] <hab> with a k
[01:16] <d4rkmonkey> sgtmattbaker sarcasm doesn't transfer well over IRC.
[01:16] <tripte1> hab: no, it's when I'm in thunar and like to get a xterm from the same dir...
[01:16] <leftyrighty> hab: automatix is so much easier
[01:16] <gnutron> Evanlec - or, in a terminal type 'cat /proc/version'
[01:16] <hab> tripte1: Aw sorry, no idea then.
[01:16] <d4rkmonkey> hab automatix is so much worse
[01:16] <d4rkmonkey> !automatix
[01:16] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[01:16] <d4rkmonkey> None that fails and breaks system part.
[01:16] <hab> I prefer to not use automatix
[01:16] <leftyrighty> oh ok
[01:17] <hab> I don't have bad experiences with it, but I just prefer to not use it.
[01:17] <nikolam> Hey, anyone using 2.6.20-16 in 7.04? I switched back to 2.6.20.-15 afte some problems. Is it Ok for security?
[01:17] <Scunizi> d4rkmonkey: if you're planning on upgrading to Gutsy you might reconsider.
[01:17] <sgtmattbaker> automatix isn't that bad...
[01:17] <d4rkmonkey> Scunizi ... I'm already on gutsy?
[01:17] <Scunizi> d4rkmonkey: oh... well if someone used automatix then upgraded it typically causes some issues.
[01:18] <aryr100> anybody know how to reset the bottem panel bar ?
[01:18] <d4rkmonkey> Scunizi yeah I know, I said automatix is much worse...
[01:18] <Zampaktu> how can i make gnome safe mode my default session on the gdm login window?
[01:18] <leftyrighty> Synaptic and things like automatix are why linux is better than windows for handling software installation. None of those annoying wizards.
[01:19] <Flannel> leftyrighty: Automatix is a good way to make Ubuntu behave like windows -- crashing often and unstable.
[01:19] <wycked> Hi everybody, I have a trouble with juK, can someone help me please ? :s
[01:19] <hab> leftyrighty: Well, synaptic is surely not the reason that Linux is better than Windows, if it is.
[01:19] <Evanlec> is it possible to update gnome-desktop through a package manager in ubuntu??
[01:19] <Flannel> Evanlec: Update to what?
[01:19] <Evanlec> version 2.8
[01:19] <Pici> leftyrighty: Automatix is NOT good, read http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html for some reasons why.
[01:20] <Stavros> How can I make dmraid recognize my array?
[01:20] <Stavros> It's saying device-mapper target type "raid45" not in kernel
[01:20] <Javid> OK, how do I make apt aware that I have firefox? I installed from a non-repos source and really don't want to mess with it
[01:20] <Flannel> Evanlec: 2.8?  What version of ubuntu are you running?
[01:20] <d4rkmonkey> Javid why did you install from non-repos?
[01:20] <gnewsensical> i boot gnewsense(==ubuntu) and it frantically transfers something over the internet - then i get a list of software updates available. good. no problem. but how do i ensure that nothing else is getting transferred?
[01:20] <Javid> Because the repos only has 2.0, and 2.0 sucks [gherkin] 
[01:20] <elzbal> Javid: apt-get unmarkauto
[01:20] <d4rkmonkey> Javid and I think it automatically becomes aware if you use a .deb package, or else it... doesn't.
[01:21] <danyboy> HEY... ANYBODY HERE THAT CAN TELL ME HOW TO USE AIRCRACK??
[01:21] <Evanlec> Flannel, Feisty
[01:21] <hab> :O
[01:21] <Flannel> !caps | danyboy
[01:21] <ubotu> danyboy: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[01:21] <d4rkmonkey> !caps | danyboy
[01:21] <Javid> !caps > danyboy
[01:21] <Pici> gnewsensical: Its probably just getting your updates (aka, apt-get update)
[01:21] <gnewsensical> Pici: ok
[01:21] <Javid> bacon@sporkwieldingferret:~$ apt-get unmarkauto
[01:21] <Javid> E: Invalid operation unmarkauto
[01:21] <marmer> someone could say me..
[01:22] <danyboy> hey... someone here can help me to use aircrack??
[01:22] <Flannel> Evanlec: You already have 2.18
[01:22] <Troy23> anyone know why when i boot my ubuntu it goes to splash screen loads, and then just goes black???
[01:22] <elzbal> Javid: Sorry, that was from aptitude. My bad.  :)
[01:22] <Evanlec> Flannel, apparently feisty comes with version 2.18.1
[01:22] <Scunizi> Ahhhh... I just told xchat to "not" show the menu bar.. How do I get it back?
[01:22] <Evanlec> Flannel, yea but thats older than 2.8 isnt it?
[01:22] <Pici> gnewsensical: I suppose you could check with `netstat -tanp` to check.
[01:22] <bmartin> I'm trying to get my mute button LED to light up... any idea how I can do that?
[01:22] <danyboy> hey... someone here can help me to use aircrack??
[01:22] <elzbal> Javid: see   aptitude --help
[01:22] <IgorSobreira> hi all..i dont have the icon in my menu bar of network-manager...how can i add it?
[01:22] <Javid> ok
[01:23] <Pici> danyboy: Ask in #aircrack-ng
[01:23] <Evanlec> IgorSobreira, right click on panel, hit add to panel, it will be in there
[01:23] <Pici> danyboy: or #aircrack
[01:23] <Flannel> Evanlec: no.  2.8 is... 10 versions ago.  September 2004 was when 2.8 was released
[01:24] <Evanlec> oh k
[01:24] <danyboy> Pici: ok thanks
[01:24] <danyboy> #aircrack-ng
[01:24] <danyboy> #aircrack
[01:24] <bmartin> does anyone have an idea as to how I could get my mute button LED to light up?
[01:24] <d4rkmonkey> bmartin press it?
[01:24] <Scunizi> anyone good with xchat?  I'm trying to get my menu bar back.... I accidently told it to not show it.
[01:25] <bmartin> d4rkmonkey, it mutes the sound, but no light
[01:25] <Evanlec> anyone know easy way to get hardware temperature sensor on my panel?
[01:25] <allorder> Scunizi: ctrl+F9
[01:25] <Scunizi> 0;5~
[01:25] <gnewsensical> Pici: netstat is cool. thnx. abt synaptic, where do i put a feature request to make th eupdates list sortable by columns like name, size, etc
[01:25] <leftyrighty> how many of you people are paid to sit on this IRC and provide support all day?
[01:25] <Evanlec> none
[01:25] <Stavros> is dmraid stable?
[01:26] <gnewsensical> !bug report
[01:26] <Stavros> or am i better off not using it?

[01:28] <Scunizi> enix:  do you have skype, gizmo or something similar loaded?
[01:29] <bmartin> d4rkmonkey, i could always open up my case to find out the processor temperature but i'd rather have a program tell me
[01:29] <enix> no
[01:29] <bmartin> thanks anyways everyone
[01:29] <Scunizi> enix what's the sound issue?  no sound?
[01:29] <d4rkmonkey> XD I think I made bmartin a bit angry.

[01:30] <enix> Scunizi: yes
[01:30] <leftyrighty> are there ATI drivers for ubuntu like there are NVIDIA?
[01:30] <d4rkmonkey> !ati | leftyrighty
[01:30] <ubotu> leftyrighty: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:30] <iTG`Neatchee> Hi everyone.  I'm getting a segfault in libc.so.6 when I try to run gnome-keybinding-properties.  I've tried doing a backtrace but I've been unable to find the proper debugging symbols for gnome-control-center.  Any help would be appreciated
[01:30] <gnewsensical> hey! what is with ubuntu? bug #1 is that m$ has a big market share! rofl lmao cool! wow!
[01:30] <leftyrighty> !ati
[01:30] <leftyrighty> whats that mean?
[01:30] <gnutron> leftyrighty - yes and the last time i used ati's drivers they sucked.
[01:31] <leftyrighty> So the restricted drivers, thats a new feature? I shouldn't click that checkbox?
[01:31] <epidemik> can someone help me install wine
[01:31] <gnutron> leftyrighty - i use ubuntu ati driver. your mileage may vary :)
[01:31] <Jack_Sparrow> apt-get install wine
[01:31] <CoasterMaster> leftyrighty, if everythin works fine, you don't have to worry about restricted drivers
[01:31] <Scunizi> enix, right mouse click on the speaker icon next to the clock and choose "Open Volume Control".  check the setting in there.
[01:31] <jvai> wow is every1 on fiesty n here?
[01:31] <epidemik> ok, thanks jack_sparrow
[01:31] <Stavros> has anyone gotten dmraid to work with that raid45 thing?
[01:31] <Scunizi> jvai: nope.. Dapper
[01:32] <Jack_Sparrow> epidemik: or use synaptic
[01:32] <jvai> oooo
[01:32] <jvai> <-- dapper also
[01:32] <taris> hi all
[01:32] <enix> Scunizi: everything is maxed out and unmuted,  my device is ALSA
[01:32] <Pelo> jvai,  not everyone follows the distros, some like to stick to the LTS for various reasons
[01:32] <Scunizi> jvai: waiting for next LTS.. but running Feisty in a different partition for testing.
[01:32] <epidemik> how do you install video card drivers for nvidia?
[01:32] <Drako60> CUPS has the web config, now from this i can print a test page, but the rest of the system can not see the printer that its seeing, if i install the printer through gnome, it doesn't work at all but everything can see it
[01:33] <Pelo> epiclulz, start with the restricted drivers in the system > admin menu
[01:33] <eypt> epidemik they have linux drivers available on the nvidia site
[01:33] <jvai> oo k
[01:33] <Scunizi> enix:  does an error pop up when you start it?
[01:33] <epidemik> k thanks eypt
[01:33] <enix> Scunizi: no errors, no sound at startup or w/ any program. i also reinstalled everything haveing to do w/ alsa via synaptic
[01:33] <leftyrighty> Everything doesn't work fine though. I restarted X and I still can't get the higher resolution. I added it under generic monitor. Any ideas what i did wrong?
[01:33] <eypt> epidemik i believe to install you would have to run the installation for it it should be in .deb from what ive seen using the system
[01:34] <Stavros> how do i change the default mixer?
[01:34] <Stavros> perhaps a reboot will fix it
[01:34] <eypt> epidemik if its in .rpm youll h ave to use alien
[01:34] <Pelo> enix, make sure you have persimission to use the audio devices  check in system > admin > users
[01:34] <bruenig> !alien | epidemik
[01:34] <ubotu> epidemik: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[01:34] <eypt> there ya go :P
[01:34] <bruenig> dangerous
[01:34] <Pelo> epidemik, start with the restricted drivers in the sysetm > admin menu
[01:35] <eypt> i believe they auto install those drivers when they find they need it
[01:35] <enix> pelo: i will, but this is a brand new problem after about a year of everything working
[01:35] <Pelo> eypt,they don't install they just make them available
[01:35] <TerraMaster> When I go to say sudo python {file} install it says Running build Runing Install and running build_py then it says package directoy src does not exist... any help?
[01:35] <enix> pelo: use audio devices is selected
[01:35] <eypt> pelo lol meant that said it wrong but yeah if you go to desktop effects that will show ya they need it to run it
[01:36] <Scunizi> enix: sorry.. I'm stumped.. unless its a switch in audacity
[01:36] <eypt> and will also ask you if you want to inst
[01:36] <eypt> +a+ll it
[01:36] <eypt> install it
[01:36] <Pelo> enix, it was woth a shot, it's one of those little things that may keep your from using sound that is usualy overlooked
[01:36] <enix> Scunizi: its all good, everything is backed up and ready for a fresh install. is that possiable w/o a CD
[01:37] <Mark17> TerraMaster: did you try to do it as a root with the root commands?
[01:37] <TerraMaster> yes
[01:37] <enix> pelo: i hear ya and appreciate all your help
[01:37] <TerraMaster> sudo python file install
[01:37] <lashmoove> I run htop through he applications menu, and get this error "Failed to execute child process "-x" (No such file or directory)"
[01:37] <Mark17> so not using sudo [commands] , but sudo -i
[01:37] <Mark17> your normall password
[01:37] <Pelo> eypt, just for your info ther e is also a trigger for the binairies drivers , with an install proccedure detailed !nvidia
[01:37] <gnewsensical> on serious reading, with the #1 m$ bug, Mark could have legal problems, no? That is courageous plainspeak at its best!
[01:37] <Mark17> and then python file install?
[01:38] <Jengerer> nickrud: you there?
[01:38] <TerraMaster> so sudo -i
[01:38] <TerraMaster> then all that
[01:38] <eypt> pelo im new to it just relating my experience XD
[01:38] <Mark17> gnewsensical: i dont see the problem
[01:38] <Pelo> eypt, just relating the info ,
[01:38] <Mark17> TerraMaster: yes, but remove the sudo at the beginning off the command
[01:38] <eypt> pelo but that is useful info ill look around for it when i get the chance XD
[01:38] <gnewsensical> Mark17: defamation stuff...?
[01:38] <gnewsensical> Never mind.... just too impressed atm
[01:38] <Pelo> !ubotu > eypt  check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[01:39] <eypt> pelo cool tyvm
[01:39] <enix> Scunizi: its all good, everything is backed up and ready for a fresh install. is that possiable w/o a CD
[01:39] <Scunizi> enix, you mean to install Audacity? or the entire system?
[01:40] <TerraMaster> Still ways src is missing
[01:40] <TerraMaster> says
[01:40] <danyboy> can someone tell me where can i find help to use aircrack??
[01:40] <epidemik> what port does bittorrent use and how can i change it?
[01:40] <eypt> pelo only started with the system over the weekend
[01:40] <enix> Scunizi: whole system
[01:40] <Zilphanael> I'm trying to add a repository on Feisty and it isn't working.
[01:40] <xtknight> how do you grab the ubuntu kernel w/ all patches?  is that linux-source (it includes final ubuntu patches, for sure?)
[01:40] <Scunizi> enix: without a CD how will you accomplish that?
[01:40] <Pelo> TerraMaster,  check the site to see what dependencies are needed
[01:40] <epidemik> what port does bittorrent use and how can i change it? (on Fiesty, im just using the basic one)
[01:41] <Zilphanael> The command I'm using is sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
[01:41] <enix> Scunizi: i dunno via apt-get maybe. i can make a cd, just wondering if i could save a step
[01:41] <xtknight> reason i ask, some patches are applied when you do dpkg-buildpackage/etc.  i'm wondering if all the package are just already all there in the linux-source pkg
[01:41] <Pelo> eypt,  we all have to start at some point, I started last year, just to try out linux,  I never looked back
[01:41] <tapH20guru> gutsy install worked ok using safe graphics mode...  locks up when starting X after install
[01:41] <TerraMaster> Yes I went though all that, python-glade (I have 2) and python 2.2 or better
[01:41] <Zilphanael> The error message i'm getting is that there's an error parsing the proxy URL.
[01:41] <Pelo> !gutsy | tapH20guru
[01:41] <ubotu> tapH20guru: 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
[01:41] <TerraMaster> oh and python-gnome
[01:41] <Zilphanael> http:/8080:/
[01:41] <epidemik> !bittorrent
[01:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bittorrent - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:41] <eypt> pelo i have to use windows but when i finish my A+ course im switchin over to this ;)
[01:41] <Zilphanael> Or something to that effect.
[01:42] <epidemik> !bittorrent
[01:42] <epidemik> what port does bittorrent use and how can i change it? (on Fiesty, im just using the basic one)
[01:42] <Scunizi> enix: my connection dropped for a minute.  how did we get from audacity to reinstalling the system?  Also, from what your saying, you want to reinstall on top of the current installation?  Better to download the cd and go at it that way.
[01:42] <eypt> epidemik i believe it is 6667 but i may be wrong
[01:42] <Pelo> eypt, i still have windows install I have this one app I need occasionnaly, and it won'T run on wine , but I almost never use it these days
[01:42] <Skyfalcon866> if use a journaling file system am i immune to corruption
[01:43] <eypt> epidemik you could change it with the settings tab i believe but i use ktorrent i like it better then most of the bit series
[01:43] <JeevesMoss> has anyone installed osCommerce?  I'm having a problem with getting it to like MySQL and cURL
[01:43] <Pelo> epidemik, the default bttorrent prot is 6667 as I recall no idea how to change it , depends on the client I guess
[01:43] <eypt> pelo i have seen an app that is supposed to run most to all windows programs on linux called codeweaver
[01:43] <eugman> Is there a way I can add a "open terminal in this directory" feature to nautilus?
[01:43] <epidemik> pelo eypt thanks
[01:43] <eypt> pelo look it up and look under crossover linux
[01:43] <elzbal> Skyfalcon866: "Immune" is a strong term. It recovers from corruption much more gracefully.
[01:43] <Pelo> Skyfalcon866, wrong attitude,  but a better chioce
[01:43] <epidemik> eypt not seing a change tab but 6667 is fine
[01:43] <danyboy> can someone tell me where can i find help to use aircrack??
[01:43] <Flannel> eugman: Yep.  nautilus-open-here, or somethig like that (it's a package)
[01:43] <eugman> o rly?
[01:43] <eypt> epidemik kk so long as it works for ya ;)
[01:43] <Flannel> eugman: open-terminal, I think
[01:44] <elzbal> Skyfalcon866: I always choose a journaling file system, myself.
[01:44] <Flannel> eugman: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/gnome/nautilus-open-terminal
[01:44] <enix> Scunizi: well i dont have much on my lappy except for music and pics, and all that can go on the external. i figure 3 hrs to do a fresh install and get everything back right or 3 days screwin w/ my sound
[01:44] <eypt> epidemik and if ya get tired of it go to add or remove and check ktorrent its a bit basic but if ya got the torrent site links ya good

[01:44] <eugman> friggin sweet
[01:44] <eypt> pelo yeah i am only worried about my games
[01:44] <Scunizi> enix: ok.. now I understand.. don't apt-get. Get the CD and do it right.. repartition etc.
[01:44] <Pelo> danyboy, have you checked on the aircrack site to see if there is a forum or an IRC channel
[01:45] <epidemik> eypt do i need the kde emulatr or something for it?
[01:45] <Zilphanael> Can anyone help me with my wget issues?
[01:45] <eypt> pelo i like the mmorpgs and rts but linux dowsnt support em

[01:47] <TerraMaster> Umm when i go to install a python file it say src directory is missing
[01:47] <Pelo> TerraMaster, did you do a search in the forum for the error msg ?  www.ubuntuforums.org , give it a try
[01:47] <eypt> norrizyth i will be sure to bookmark it and look through it i got about 10 pages to look thru from DM| last night
[01:47] <jrib> !packaging > eugman (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:47] <TerraMaster> worth a shot
[01:47] <Zilphanael> Any help with wget issues, please?
[01:47] <enix> Scunizi: cool thanks, then if i ever have to a fresh install /home doesnt need be messed with
[01:48] <enix> Scunizi: right
[01:48] <Scunizi> enix: exactly!
[01:48] <Pelo> TerraMaster, it's the first thing I do when I get an error msg, most of them seem to be covered
[01:48] <Pc_Dark> is there Logitech Wave Keyboard drivers for Ubuntu
[01:48] <enix> Scunizi: and of course the partition manager will be able to handle this option
[01:48] <Pelo> Pc_Dark, this would be about multimedia buttons on the keybaord ?
[01:48] <maxd> hellooo
[01:48] <Scunizi> enix: actually you could use gparted to create the partition now and move home there before reinstalling. Just make sure you don't format /home on reinstall.
[01:49] <rever75> Hi I am running Feisty Fawn and I use to be able to connect to my works MS VPN using the network manager applet. I would co to VPNs and connect. When I click on the applet I only get "manually configure"

[01:49] <enix> Scunizi: ok, sweetness
[01:49] <PKdoR> what is the exsamples folder for? is it necesary?
[01:50] <Pc_Dark> Pelo, yep.
[01:50] <Pelo> PKdoR,  what exemples folder
[01:50] <Pc_Dark> I want to use it with Amarok Media Player
[01:50] <JeevesMoss> can someone give me a hand with installing oscommerce?  I'm having a problem with it seeing my working MySQL install and with cURL
[01:50] <eypt> brb all
[01:50] <askand> where do i make settings for totem?
[01:50] <PKdoR> its located in my destop and /home
[01:50] <Pelo> Pc_Dark,  go to the forum and do a search for multimedia keyboard , there are a few howtos to get those extra buttons working,  you can also try searching for the keyboard model
[01:51] <eugman> Flannel, hmm how do you use it?
[01:51] <enix> Scunizi: when in audacity and try to play music it says: error while opening sound device. but cannot select anymore options in edit>pref>audio I/O
[01:51] <Pelo> askand,  in the preference menu under edit
[01:51] <PKdoR> actually just the /home
[01:51] <Pelo> PKdoR,  whats, it in it ?  you can probably get rid of it if you didn'T install it
[01:51] <maxd> question- compiz- how do i change the keyboard short cut to rotate the cube? why? to set it to one of the buttons on my new mouse
[01:52] <askand> Pelo:  hrm thanks..but Id like to change video driver?
[01:52] <Pelo> maxd, ask in #compiz-fusion
[01:52] <PKdoR> no I think its part of the ubuntu  install proces
[01:52] <maxd> thanks pelo!
[01:52] <Pelo> askand, don't know about that one,  totem usus what ever video driver X uses as far as I know
[01:53] <JeevesMoss> PKdoR:  can you give me a hand with this install?
[01:53] <PKdoR> the one in /home is a link to the actual Exsamples folder the real one is located in "/usr/share/example-content"
[01:53] <Nyle> !kubuntu
[01:53] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[01:53] <xtknight> Pelo, maybe he means video output driver like gl or xv, etc
[01:53] <xtknight> i dont think totem can use other ones, possible it's adjustable thru gconf or gstreamer somehow
[01:53] <Pelo> PKdoR,  you can remove the symlink ifyou want, leave the rest wehre it is
[01:53] <Pelo> xtknight, ask him
[01:53] <Nyle> may I suggest the use of mplayer
[01:53] <Nyle> ?
[01:53] <Flannel> eugman: Just install it, then once it's installed, just right click and you'll have an "open terminal"
[01:54] <vader1102> How does one go about installing the KDE desktop in Feisty?
[01:54] <Pelo> Nyle,  you may not
[01:54] <jrib> !kde > vader1102 (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:54] <d4rknorris> vader1102 sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[01:54] <Nyle> vader1102: aptitude install kubuntu-desktop kde
[01:54] <LinuxProbie> how do I totally clean any trace of java out of my system? I've got some error that's making azureus not run and I figure it's related to a glitch in the java install
[01:54] <d4rknorris> vader1102 or what Nyle said...
[01:54] <xtknight> askand, you can't change totem's video output AFAIK (maybe there's a hidden option if you google).  i suggest gmplayer
[01:54] <vader1102> ty
[01:54] <PKdoR> ok
[01:54] <xtknight> askand, or VLC is also good
[01:54] <bullgard5> ping
[01:54] <PKdoR> thanks
[01:54] <Nyle> vader1102: kde, kde-core
[01:54] <rever75> Also my Alt+Tab is not working. I also check my keyboard layout and shortcuts
[01:54] <Nyle> vader1102: for a full kde isntall, or just for a kubuntu system use kubuntu-desktop
[01:55] <Pelo> LinuxProbie, in synatpic  search for java,  uninstall completely
[01:55] <Nyle> Pelo: why not?
[01:55] <Nyle> Pelo: clearly is it a 'superior' application
[01:55] <PKdoR> jeevesmoss fire your question
[01:55] <LinuxProbie> Pelo, I tried that, didn't seem to fix the problem with azureus...
[01:55] <Nyle> Pelo: ahaha :)
[01:55] <vader1102> I want to be able to choose between KDE and GNOME Nyle
[01:55] <enix> Scunizi: how do i repartion when i cant unmount my drive becasue i am using it
[01:56] <Pelo> LinuxProbie, as far as I am concerned  , azureus is the problem , not to start a flame war but the problem might not actualy be the java
[01:56] <enoj_> Hi guys, when changing to the "intel" driver, the only new resolution that appeared in the choices were "1024x1024" which is useless. I've seen the change resolution wiki page, but I can't figure out how to be able to use a bigger resolution like 1400x1050? It's a thinkpad t60 laptop
[01:56] <TerraMaster> Pelo: when I go sudo when tring to install that package it does not ask me my password
[01:56] <Nyle> vader1102: very easy.  aptitude install gnome ubuntu-desktop kde kubuntu-desktop gdm
[01:56] <CoasterMaster> Is there a way to upgrade to wine 0.9.44?
[01:56] <Nyle> vader1102: then you can use gdm (or kdm if you chose that) to change to gnome or kde as you like
[01:56] <Grungebunny> a file I installed requires that I run it like ./this and keep the terminal window open.. how do I make an icon for this so I don't always have to run it from term?
[01:56] <Nighthawk420> hey what music player do you all use?
[01:56] <Pelo> TerraMaster, there is a time limit on sudo , if you gave your password in the same terminal previously ( 15 min I thnk ) , it won'T ask you again
[01:56] <Scunizi> enix: download the iso for gparted live cd and burn it.  Nice to have in the folder.
[01:56] <eypt> coastermaster have ya tryed the site for wine?
[01:57] <jrib> Nyle, vader1102: you don't need "kde" if you have "kubuntu-desktop", same for "gnome" and "kubuntu-desktop"
[01:57] <Nyle> Grungebunny: chmod a+x blah.file.ext
[01:57] <vader1102> ty Nyle
[01:57] <oni> i have a stupid question... i have used unix before, and i just started using ubuntu about a week and a half ago and im trying to install a plugin and i need to do a make command, is it "make install <directory location>" because if so its not working
[01:57] <ikon> any knows about openbravo in ubuntu?
[01:57] <vader1102> and jrib
[01:57] <enix> Scunizi: o , ic
[01:57] <CoasterMaster> eypt: yeah, checking there now
[01:57] <eypt> enoj_ do you have all the drivers?
[01:57] <Grungebunny> Nyle say wha?
[01:57] <Evanlec> anyone know of easy temperature monitoring applet?
[01:57] <eypt> enoj_ for your onboard or graphics card?
[01:57] <Scunizi> oni:  you need to install build-essential if you haven't already.
[01:57] <enix> Scunizi: thanks, im off for a fresh install. TYVM
[01:57] <Nyle> jrib: yes, you do. (kind of, because kubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop don't install the full desktop env.
[01:57] <LinuxProbie> pelo it's a java error when I run azureus from the commandline...
[01:57] <eypt> coastermaster best bet is to check there if not look around the ubuntu forums
[01:57] <Scunizi> enix, go luck!
[01:57] <Pelo> oini did you install build-essential ?
[01:57] <nephish> what development tools would one go about to design swf (flash) movies or banners ?
[01:58] <Pelo> LinuxProbie,  which java ?
[01:58] <Nyle> Grungebunny: make the file executable with chmod x
[01:58] <jrib> Nyle: a default ubuntu install won't install the "gnome" package, what is missing?
[01:58] <Nyle> jrib: umm.. a lot.
[01:58] <LinuxProbie> Pelo, sun-java6
[01:58] <eypt> coastermaster could check with the update manager too
[01:58] <wycked> bk
[01:58] <ikon> any knows openbravo ?
[01:58] <Nyle> jrib: same with kde/kubuntu-desktop
[01:58] <enoj_> eypt: well lspci says 'Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML', so I figured "intel" was the correct driver. Downloaded it via apt-get, so I assume I have the necessary drivers ..
[01:58] <Pelo> LinuxProbie, I'm out
[01:58] <Nyle> jrib: its very easy, just look at the depends and suggests
[01:58] <jrib> Nyle: I am
[01:58] <Nyle> well, depends really
[01:59] <wycked> does anyone know how to hide windows of the other desktops on KDE with Compiz-Fusion ?
[01:59] <eypt> enoj_ usually resolution errors are graphics driver based try removing the drivers and reinstalling them
[01:59] <Nyle> wycked: maybe in #ubuntu-effects
[01:59] <d4rknorris> wycked you could just... minimize them on the other desktops?
[01:59] <Pelo> wycked,  ask in #compiz-fusion
[01:59] <eypt> enoj_ or look at sys info for the motherboard and graphics card and search for the drivers by type
[01:59] <wycked> d4rknorris, no, that don't hide windows from the other desktops
[01:59] <LinuxProbie> is there a terminal command to list anything that is related to java that I may have installed?
[01:59] <TerraMaster> Pelo: I FOUND OUT HOW TO DO IT! I need to cd into ther folder first XD
[01:59] <wycked> Pelo, Nyle, thank you !:)
[02:00] <d4rknorris> wycked k, then I have no idea.
[02:00] <Pelo> TerraMaster, in the forum ?
[02:00] <enoj_> eypt: hmm ok ..
[02:00] <TerraMaster> no just thought of it out of the blue
[02:00] <PKdoR> does anybody know if the adigy series of soundcard is compatible with ubuntu?
[02:00] <jrib> LinuxProbie: aptitude search '~i~njava'
[02:00] <Hodapp> PKdoR: should be with emu10k1
[02:01] <oni> ok, heres a problem. im running the 64 bit version.
[02:01] <Pelo> TerraMaster,  I'm sorry I should not have assumed you were leet , if I had treated you like a noob you would have had that information  a while ago
[02:01] <oni> and the add/remove doesnt have it.
[02:01] <vader1102> well the terminal will be busy for a bit lol 473 mb to dl
[02:01] <Nyle> jrib: look into aptitude manpage, and see the flags for the pacakges
[02:01] <oni> and online link is a 404
[02:01] <jrib> oni: what are you trying to install?
[02:01] <eypt> enoj_ if the drivers are the issue sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling fix the issue if its the right drivers but look for errors when reinstalling them to see if anything happens during the install
[02:01] <Nyle> jrib: oops
[02:01] <TerraMaster> IT WORKS MUHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
[02:01] <PKdoR> and whats the remove command for /usr/share/example-content
[02:01] <Nyle> jrib: not you I meant LinuxProbie
[02:01] <enoj_> eypt: by reinstall you just mean apt-get remove and apt-get install ?
[02:01] <Grungebunny> Nyle okay I did that now where did it stick the icon for me to use?
[02:02] <oni> PKdoR,  its -r ./example-content
[02:02] <eypt> enoj_ i believe there is another way to work with installers
[02:02] <eypt> enoj_ for drivers at least
[02:02] <jvai> lol
[02:02] <Nyle> Grungebunny: it didn't.  just making sure its executable, you said you had to use sh to launch it.  So now make a shortcut for it, thats it
[02:02] <ikon> any knows openbravo?
[02:02] <Pelo> ikon,  it helps to ask specific questions
[02:03] <jrib> PKdoR: the "example-content" package is the owner of those files
[02:03] <eypt> enoj_ you could try system>administration>restricted drivers
[02:03] <LinuxProbie> Wow there's alot there...what's safe to get rid of that might cause problems with azureus if it was incompatable/corrupt?
[02:03] <ikon> ok, i cannot use openbravo on ubuntu
[02:03] <jrib> LinuxProbie: you shouldn't need to remove anything
[02:03] <Pelo> LinuxProbie,  have you tried asking in #azureus-support ? maybe they are aware of the issue and know how to fix it
[02:04] <TerraMaster> XD
[02:04] <bullgard5> jrib: Please highlight me for a test.
[02:04] <TerraMaster> Peco dont me so mean
[02:04] <Pelo> bullgard5,
[02:04] <LinuxProbie> Pelo, didn't know that channel existed....
[02:04] <Kinjin> Can anyone tell how I can get my sound out of all of my speakers only this front 2 are working.
[02:04] <bullgard5> Pelo: Thank you very much.
[02:05] <Pelo> TerraMaster, look at your nick and your evil laugh and think a little
[02:05] <PKdoR> so i can just revoe the examplepcontent package?
[02:05] <Pelo> PKdoR,  you're choice
[02:05] <jrib> PKdoR: yes
[02:05] <Scunizi> Kinjin: you might want to fill everyone in on the particulars like.. is the sound card motherboard based? What type of sound card etc.
[02:06] <ikon> i cant use openbravo on ubuntu
[02:06] <Pelo> ikon,  is openbravo a linux app ?
[02:06] <Kinjin> ahh sorry its a creative soundblaster audigy SE
[02:06] <ikon> yep
[02:07] <PKdoR> ty jrib
[02:07] <Pelo> ikon,  how did you install it ?
[02:07] <PKdoR> now if i can just make my cube rotete again!!!!
[02:07] <gnutron> Kinjin - right click on the volume > properties, somewhere in there you can toggle front/center/side etc.
[02:08] <sausage1337> hi all - i've found out how to use cron and now i want to make things come up on start up when i log in. how do i do this?
[02:08] <ikon> pelo: using this guide http://wiki.openbravo.com/wiki/index.php/Openbravo_Command_Line_Installation

[02:08] <Pelo> ikon,  do you get any error msg ?
[02:08] <Kinjin> Yeah i looked there but I didn't see anything relating to speakers
[02:09] <gnutron> Kinjin - right click on the volume > open controls > preferences, somewhere in there you can toggle front/center/side etc.
[02:09] <ikon> nop, is instaled, but i cannot use, when i try to login he sends me a error

[02:10] <blithen> Hey everyone!
[02:10] <riotkittie> weep.
[02:10] <sausage1337> jrib: errrr, well. like, on a server kinda. i'm talking about running a script or something when a user logs in.
[02:10] <Pelo> ikon,  near the top of that tutorial there is a requirement section ,make sure you installed all the dependencies listed
[02:10] <s17ence> exit
[02:10] <sausage1337> i want to know how to set it up via the CLI
[02:10] <Asuka> How do I save something I write in sudo nano?
[02:10] <LinuxProbie> Is there a torrent client for ubuntu that works like azureus?
[02:10] <jrib> sausage1337: you aren't being specific enough.  What exactly do you want it to run?
[02:10] <CoasterMaster> LinuxProbie: you can use azureus under Ubuntu
[02:10] <sausage1337> a script
[02:11] <riotkittie> when it comes to wireless, ralink chipsets are supposed to be, like, not a PITA, right?  , , ,  just incase i didnt use enough commas.
[02:11] <Kinjin> Ahh well I unmuted the speakers.. but still no sound it coming out of them :(
[02:11] <gnutron> Asuka - ctrl^x
[02:11] <CoasterMaster> !azureus | LinuxProbie
[02:11] <ubotu> LinuxProbie: azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo
[02:11] <blithen> LinuxProbie: There is azureus for Ubuntu, but personally I use KTorrent.
[02:11] <jrib> sausage1337: well ~/.bash_profile will get sourced when you login I suppose
[02:11] <Asuka> so, is that ctrl+x?
[02:11] <LinuxProbie> CoasterMaster, except that azureus crashes when I tru to run it
[02:11] <gerardinio> Hola!!!!
[02:11] <Asuka> what does ^mean?
[02:11] <Asuka> and?
[02:11] <gnutron> Kinjin - mess around with your mixer, alsa stuff.
[02:11] <Pelo> ikon what is the error you get when you try to run it
[02:12] <gnutron> Asuka - ctrl^x  control and x - same time
[02:12] <blithen> LinuxProbie: Java problem, that's why I use Ktorrent.
[02:12] <Pelo> and ikon  use my nick when talking to me , it makes it easier to follow
[02:12] <eypt> pkdor ive only experienced 2 linuxes so far this(ubuntu) and opensuse so if thats another version idk about it XD
[02:12] <riotkittie> control and then control x, or just control x?
[02:12] <PKdoR> azureou/vuze works on ubunto right?
[02:12] <CoasterMaster> LinuxProbie, what version of java are you using? (java -version in a terminal to check)
[02:13] <riotkittie> cause that was confusing :x
[02:13] <LinuxProbie> CoasterMaster, presently reinstalling sun java6
[02:13] <CoasterMaster> LinuxProbie, via "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk" ??
[02:13] <PKdoR> I have no Idea im just wondering
[02:13] <Pelo> ikon,  you can also ask in #openbravo
[02:13] <riotkittie> ok. i give. i'm going to pay some 9 year old like $300 to fix my wireless.  :|
[02:13] <gnutron> in the terminal nano its control and the char 'x' at the same time or better yet, control hold, then x
[02:13] <LinuxProbie> CoasterMaster, I used sun-java6-bin
[02:14] <CoasterMaster> LinuxProbie, oh sorry, you're right, jdk is the java development kit :!
[02:14] <LinuxProbie> :-P
[02:14] <PKdoR> yup
[02:14] <CoasterMaster> LinuxProbie, let me know when it's done, there's something else to check
[02:14] <gnutron> emacs in term is ctrl^xc
[02:14] <baron> spricht jemand deztsch hier ?
[02:14] <gnutron> thats real geeky stuff
[02:14] <riotkittie> i thought ^ was ctrl
[02:15] <blithen> LinuxProbie, If that doesn't work, then go with Ktorrent. @___@
[02:15] <PKdoR> i was of the idea that scince azureus is a java torreent client it would work on anything that runs java

[02:17] <jbinder> Like the menus and stuff.
[02:17] <Pelo> jbinder,   look in menu > system > prefs > language support
[02:17] <jbinder> Ok.
[02:17] <eypt> coastermaster ever find what you were looking for?
[02:18] <CoasterMaster> eypt: yeah, i got it thanks :)
[02:18] <jrib> jbinder: after doing what pelo said, make sure that when you login, click on "options", and select your language as spanish
[02:18] <jbinder> Oh.
[02:18] <eypt> coastermaster anytime :) for stuff like that always check the site for it most likely will be the easiest bet XD
[02:18] <fungos> what do I need to connect PSP in ubuntu? Its not working as is
[02:18] <CoasterMaster> eypt: yeah, I figured all I was gonna fine was source code to compile, i didn't know they had a nice repository all set up
[02:18] <eypt> fungos software comes with it no?
[02:19] <fungos> no, its a USB mass storage basically
[02:19] <eypt> coastermaster even if ya found a .rpm use alien and itd work  :)
[02:19] <blithen> Alien is ownage :)
[02:19] <fatcatmatt> any good places out there to get more debian software?
[02:19] <CoasterMaster> eypt: i guess that works too.....although sometimes it's not an option (rtorrent/libtorrent, I'm looking at you)
[02:19] <jrib> fatcatmatt: Ubuntu's repositories?
[02:19] <Pelo> fatcatmatt, www.getdeb.net
[02:20] <riotkittie> wah. i will just go drink. and google. :|
[02:20] <JuJuBee> I just installed sun java 6, netbeans in repo's uses v. 5, is that a big deal?  apt-get is now trying to install sun java 5
[02:20] <eypt> fungos a psp is a game system also and to put stuff into certain directories  you need software
[02:20] <eypt> coastermaster lol
[02:20] <PKdoR> I just need 2 more thing to complete my install
[02:20] <Pelo> later folks
[02:20] <jrib> JuJuBee: you can probably have both installed without an issue
[02:20] <eypt> coastermaster i believe that you could compile code through the alien no?
[02:20] <eypt> pelo see ya m8

[02:21] <jrib> mrcucumber: dpkg-source -x  but youa re doing this the wrong way
[02:22] <begert> any suggestions of where to store source code for programs I want to compile , (such as /usr/src?)
[02:22] <sgtmattbaker> m4a are proprietary container
[02:22] <VousDeux> can your use wine for windows device drivers?
[02:22] <marciowsd> Buenas...
[02:22] <eypt> fungos but if it doesnt register it as a usb drive it could just not be reading it
[02:22] <CoasterMaster> begert, i just throw it on my desktop for compiling
[02:22] <Pc_Dark> sgtmattbaker, so I can't legally use them?
[02:22] <mrcucumber> jrib:what would the the right approach?
[02:22] <sgtmattbaker> Pc_Dark - as far as I know no.  m4a are iPod/iTunes specific
[02:22] <jrib> mrcucumber: what are you trying to install?
[02:22] <begert> Coaster: do you just delete it afterwards then?
[02:22] <CoasterMaster> begert, yes
[02:22] <eypt> vousdeux i think device drivers have windows and linux installers
[02:23] <eypt> vousdeux at least the nvidia drivers have linux options
[02:23] <VousDeux> well, I can't find a Linux driver for this particular device
[02:23] <fungos> eypt: it doesnt have sw for windoes either ;)  just mass storage
[02:23] <CoasterMaster> begert, although if you want to keep the source around so you can play with it, i guess in your home folder would be a nice place :)
[02:23] <eypt> fungos i have no idea m8 lol you could check the ubuntu forums
[02:23] <riotkittie> brb. let me see if this works.
[02:23] <eypt> vousdeux which device
[02:23] <begert> I was thinking that, but wasn't sure if it was common to store source there
[02:24] <mrcucumber> jrib: I'm trying to write a usb serial driver so I built a vanilla kernel that I can work against. Since I have to do a bit of Reverse engineering I thought I'd run windows in KVM and then snoop the USB traffic, the KVM module in the vanilla kernel requires a newer userspace version of kvm, so I thought I'd just pull the compatibly source from gutsy and build that.
[02:24] <VousDeux> USB2VGA
[02:24] <LOWLUX> i need to format the usb tumb drive... how?
[02:24] <Pc_Dark> sgtmattbaker, would it be legal to burn to a CD and then use them?
[02:24] <LOWLUX> wipe it clean
[02:24] <CoasterMaster> Pc_Dark, I believe it's ok if you use it for personal use
[02:25] <sgtmattbaker> Pc_Dark : that is called circumventing restrictions
[02:25] <eypt> vousdeux ill look into it a bit
[02:25] <Pc_Dark> How about iTunes WINE?
[02:25] <CoasterMaster> sgtmattbaker, Pc_Dark : i thought it was ok to use the mp3 codes etc for personal use
[02:25] <VousDeux> eypt: thanks!
[02:25] <jrib> mrcucumber: hmm, well I usually just put the gutsy source repo in my sources.list and then do 'apt-get -b source PACKAGE' and then install the resulting deb.  kvm may be tricky though...  Consider virtualbox as an alternative if you run into trouble
[02:25] <Dekkard> can beryl/compiz work with a tnt2 card?
[02:25] <eypt> vousdeux but while im at it check the forums
[02:25] <eypt> vousdeux never know may have something ya can use
[02:25] <sgtmattbaker> yes, but iTunes is m4a proprietary
[02:26] <VousDeux> Also, I'm getting ready to download VMware, would it be better it use the rpm or the gzip?
[02:26] <CoasterMaster> sgtmattbaker, but wouldn't the same rules hold for other codecs?
[02:26] <Pc_Dark> sgtmattbaker, is itunes in wine okay to use?
[02:26] <sgtmattbaker> should be
[02:26] <CoasterMaster> Pc_Dark, legally yes, but I doubt WINE will run it
[02:26] <LinuxProbie> 92%
[02:26] <sgtmattbaker> as long as you dont have it installed somewhere else
[02:26] <eypt> vousdeux havent use it as of yet
[02:26] <someone2005> Yea get force apci error...What should i do ?
[02:27] <Pc_Dark> hm
[02:27] <eypt> vousdeux check that site
[02:27] <sgtmattbaker> you could* technically get in trouble for having two copies of an executable.. but hey
[02:27] <mrcucumber> jrib: yeah, I've done that before, but I thought downloading the files from the launchpad (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kvm/1:28-4ubuntu1) might be better
[02:27] <sgtmattbaker> some people are overzealous with laws
[02:27] <eypt> vousdeux tell me if its what your looking for because i am unsure of the driver you are looking for
[02:27] <Pc_Dark> isnt it free software, so if its on my laptop it doesn't matter?
[02:27] <sgtmattbaker> I dont know
[02:27] <sgtmattbaker> you should research some
[02:27] <sgtmattbaker> I dont even use itunes
[02:27] <Invisionfree> .
[02:28] <sgtmattbaker> all I know iw m4a is proprietary
[02:28] <mrcucumber> jrib: I could only use the free version of virtual box since the binary version wouldn't work with my custom kernel, and it's my understanding that the free version doesn't support USB

[02:28] <Eleaf> hey everybody, I just got a new harddrive and wanted to reinstall my ubuntu system, should I go with Feisty or Gutsy (I usually go bleeding-edge...)  I'm running Feisty right now.
[02:29] <iTG`Neatchee> Hi.  Is there anywhere I can for higher level technical support with Ubuntu?  I've been popping in periodically to ask my question all day, but it seems there's nobody around able to field my question.  It is rather technical regarding a rather specific problem with a segmentation fault in gnome-keybinding-properties
[02:29] <VousDeux> eypt: I'm sorry, I scrolled up twice...I don't see a site
[02:29] <eypt> vousdeux check pms

[02:33] <PKdoR> or is it now safe
[02:33] <CoasterMaster> LinuxProbie, run this in a terminal 'sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun' (without quotes obviously)

[02:35] <LinuxProbie> CoasterMaster, Ok, what's that supposed to do?
[02:35] <gnutron> PKdoR - Invisionfree - no, these 1,055 clients are illusions ;)
[02:35] <CoasterMaster> LinuxProbie, it tells Ubuntu which version of the Java interperter to use
[02:35] <PKdoR> no I mean NTFS formated HDDs

[02:40] <vader1102> VousDeux, I am running 64 bit Ubuntu and love it..
[02:40] <CoasterMaster> LinuxProbie, (i.e. do you type sudo apt-get install azureus to install it)?

[02:42] <VousDeux> I ordered the MSI 1719 notebook with Core Duo 2GHz and 4GB RAM
[02:42] <eypt> vousdeux hmm there should be a driver cd with the notebook it might have the driver you are looking for on there
[02:42] <CoasterMaster> Is there a way to redirect the stdout to a file (i.e. foo > bar), but also have it display on the terminal?
[02:43] <vader1102> VousDeux, it is an HP Presario DV9201 CA and I love it! Most things I have tried work out of the box with Ubuntu
[02:43] <acecase> I have installed ndiswrapper-utils and used ndiswrapper -i to install the bcm driver that I extracted with cabextract from the driver on the HP website but the card just isn't showing up. ndiswrapper module is loading but shows 0 depends
[02:43] <Asuka> I'm confused with the wine thing
[02:43] <Asuka> I'm here http://www.winehq.org/site/download now what?
[02:43] <acecase> anyone know anything about ndiswrapper?
[02:43] <Asuka> pick ubuntu?
[02:43] <VousDeux> I've seen both Ubuntu and Kubuntu on the live CD...I really like what I have seen so far

[02:44] <VousDeux> I've always been fond of the Debian-based distributions...I've tried most of them at one time or another
[02:45] <VousDeux> SuSE was my favorite until Novell got ahold of it

[02:45] <VousDeux> I lothe RH
[02:45] <askand> Is there a command/program I can use so I can see what uuntu is doing with my harddrive at the moment?

[02:46] <Asuka> how fail-safe is wine? I've heard some bad things about it
[02:46] <rexy_> fail safe how Asuka
[02:46] <vader1102> Suse tried to blow away my vista partition w/o asking me,........ last time I use that product
[02:46] <Asuka> well, how good does it work is what I really mean

[02:47] <VousDeux> I have not used Wine much, but what I have seen was very slow, and lots of programs didn't work at all
[02:47] <VousDeux> if you want to run Windows programs in Linux, you'd be better off with VMware
[02:47] <Asuka> How do I install a program using wine?
[02:47] <Flannel> VousDeux: It's not slow.  Some apps it actually runs faster.  But you're right about the sparseness.

[02:47] <darwin81> If I want separate "/" and "/home" partitions, is 4GB enough for the "/" partition?
[02:48] <fungos> nice, psp working, just needed to do a "sudo rmmod ehci_hcd"
[02:48] <fatcatmatt> anybody know anything about Ultimate Ubuntu
[02:48] <nickrud> darwin81: barely, you'll need a bigger partition if you intend to install much
[02:48] <Flannel> darwin81: It will be, although you might fill it up eventually
[02:48] <darwin81> so 6GB?
[02:48] <Pici> fatcatmatt: Its not an official version.
[02:49] <darwin81> I have a 160GB HDD
[02:49] <Flannel> fatcatmatt: You don't want it.  Use standard Ubuntu, and install whatever other programs you want (they're most in the repos, and the others are in third party repos)
[02:49] <LinuxProbie> CoasterMaster, the guys in azureus support said to use an official build from sourceforge, how do I install that package?
[02:49] <nickrud> darwin81: give it 12 :)
[02:49] <Flannel> darwin81: 10GB /
[02:49] <Flannel> Or 12 ;)
[02:49] <vader1102> does wine work with amd 64? last I knew it really gave problems
[02:49] <fatcatmatt> thanks pici and flannel
[02:49] <VousDeux> the size of / would depend on how much other stuff you plan to partition off
[02:49] <Asuka> I'm installing something off a cd though
[02:49] <CoasterMaster> LinuxProbie, first uninstall the version you got from the repos (i.e. sudo apt-get remove azureus), and then follow the directions here

[02:50] <askand> Is there a command/program I can use so I can see what uuntu is doing with my harddrive at the moment?
[02:50] <Flannel> Asuka: that's fine.  That page gives intsructions.  If it's multiple CDs, you'll need to copy them off first.

[02:50] <Asuka> Oh, so I need to copy all the files into a folder?
[02:50] <mav> any one!
[02:50] <Flannel> Asuka: Not unless it's a multi-CD install
[02:51] <VousDeux> honestly though...I haven't installed a recent version of Linux, so I plan to research the partitioning myself before I install mine in a few days
[02:51] <Asuka> okay, it is
[02:51] <eypt> vousdeux the one thing i dislike is the installations XD
[02:51] <Flannel> Asuka: what is it?

[03:03] <DerangedDingo> Hey.. everone, sorry to just jump in with a question, but I changed, a while back, my output module in VLC to X11 Video Output, so it wouldn't be buggy with Compiz, and I'm trying to watch an Apple keynot right now, but all I can hear is audio..
[03:03] <eypt> dont use scanners
[03:03] <eypt> but check add or remove programs
[03:03] <krammer> check for which program
[03:03] <eypt> 1 sec
[03:04] <kravlin> Has anyone else been having problems with gaim after the recent update (im running a 64 bit system and i am.)
[03:04] <scottywz-iPhone> I remember a problem with vlc where I couldnt watch apple keynotes
[03:04] <iTG`Neatchee> kravlin: what kind of trouble, and after what update?
[03:04] <eypt> could check through the accessibility list
[03:04] <krammer> gaim is a pain in the ...
[03:04] <eypt> lol ive never had an issue with gaim yet
[03:04] <DerangedDingo> scottywz-iPhone: I could before I changed it though
[03:04] <iTG`Neatchee> krammer: that's because gaim is no longer supported by the team that developed it
[03:04] <iTG`Neatchee> and the ubuntu backport team refused to backport it
[03:04] <krammer> even pidgin
[03:04] <iTG`Neatchee> pidgin is fantastic lol
[03:04] <DerangedDingo> scottywz-iPhone: And Totem says the "location does not exist"
[03:04] <scottywz-iPhone> Oh, then...
[03:04] <krammer> same as gaim
[03:04] <maedhros> I recenty recovered a lot of music from a broken disk with testdisk/photorec, but some of the files are corrupt and incomplete. I've tried to identify the bad files with mp3check, but the documentation is... somewhat hard to understand. Are there other efficient tools that can do this job?
[03:04] <iTG`Neatchee> don't know what you have against it
[03:05] <krammer> the bots took over yahoo chat rooms
[03:05] <scottywz-iPhone> Changed anything else
[03:05] <kravlin> iTG'Neatchee: It developed tuesday last week. Whenever i run gaim it makes it so i can only select the text boxes in gaim and sometimes not even that...
[03:05] <Asuka> #winehq
[03:05] <krammer> scoot: you bought iphone?
[03:05] <iTG`Neatchee> kravlin: PM please
[03:05] <DerangedDingo> scottywz-iPhone: Nah.. I even reset all the options to defaults
[03:05] <kravlin> krammer: the same thing happened with the aim chatrooms.
[03:05] <eypt> krammer lol bots have been taking over yahoo chatrooms for ages now
[03:06] <scottywz-iPhone> Weird. I dont know then
[03:06] <eypt> its all over with the spammers and the people supposed to admin it dont do they jobs so we suffer as users
[03:06] <krammer> ive been with yahoo for 6 years
[03:06] <JeevesMoss> what are the packages that you need to unstall a LAMP system?
[03:06] <nickrud> DerangedDingo: you could try reinstalling it and the plugins
[03:06] <rawkfist> there anyone here that can help me get java 1.5 or .6 going, this is getting frustrating
[03:06] <acecase> isn't it ironic that an open protocal such as IRC has fewer bots than the propriatary gom that is Yahoo IM
[03:06] <eypt> lol rawk thats what im trying to do atm
[03:06] <nickrud> rawkfist: what's the problem?
[03:06] <krammer> if they can do anything then they need a new team
[03:06] <DerangedDingo> nickrud: I don't have any plugins ATM except the Mozilla plugin
[03:07] <maedhros> Oh, and another issue I've got: Ubuntu seems to hang and crash more or less every second time I boot up. Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve this issue?
[03:07] <eypt> nickrud the issue with the JRE is that they give you a package ya cant access and cant use ive used the guide to install it but it doesnt work XD
[03:07] <rawkfist> i try to run test it on suns site says it is not installed, limewire says it is installed in the terminal but wil not load and frostwire says it is not installed
[03:07] <nickrud> eypt: the ones in the repos install just fine. Of course, the add/remove doesn't include the firefox plugin iirc
[03:08] <eypt> nickrud lostme there :P
[03:08] <acecase> maedhros: try adding noapic nolapic to your boot config at the end of the root= line
[03:08] <rawkfist> can i install it with apt-get?
[03:08] <nickrud> rawkfist: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin
[03:08] <{{Booh}}> Hi.  How to configures and select locales?  It seems that dpkg-reconfigure locales isn't the way anymore ?
[03:08] <maedhros> acecase: Whoa.
[03:08] <nickrud> rawkfist: or sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[03:08] <acecase> maedhros: ?
[03:08] <maedhros> acecase: boot-config?
[03:08] <Surf24> Hey everyone.
[03:08] <acecase> maedhros: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:09] <minerale> How do I make ubuntu automatically login when I turn on computer?
[03:09] <rawkfist> still wont verify on java.com
[03:09] <Surf24> Has anyone purchased an Ibex 5050 computer.
[03:09] <nickrud> rawkfist: and just for certainty, sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre  &&  sudo update-alternatives --config java  , and select the number next to the java6 version
[03:09] <meoblast001> can someone help me with wine
[03:09] <meoblast001> i need a program called microsoft data access components
[03:09] <acecase> maedhros: you will see the line that has the "title" that you boot. just look for boot= and at the end of that line add noapic and nolapic
[03:10] <iTG`Neatchee> Kravlin: are you getting my PMs?
[03:10] <meoblast001> but mmicrosoft doesnt give away stuff, you have to prove to them you have windows
[03:10] <meoblast001> how do i fix this?
[03:10] <LinuxProbie> CoasterMaster, Uhm, I got http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/04/18/epic-video-master-chief-vs-samus/

[03:10] <LinuxProbie> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[03:10] <acecase> minerale: just look for default in /boot/grub/menu.lst and change it to the number related to the os that you want to boot (remember that it is 0 based)
[03:10] <LinuxProbie> ignore the link *rofl* forgot that ctrl^c doesn't work in terminal...
[03:11] <kravlin> iTG`Neatchee: no. I didn't auto identify this time around for some reason.
[03:11] <scythetleppo> I have an ubuntu system with 2 hard drives; how can I install windows xp on the second drive and have grub in the beginning to choose?

[03:11] <Animum> All of windows got erased
[03:11] <maedhros> acecase: But it doesn't crash in grub. What happens is, I get to the login screen, but my mouse and keyboard stops to react (all keyboard LEDS switches off), and the text marker disappears  from the "user"-field.
[03:11] <Animum> Can I restore it?
[03:11] <iTG`Neatchee> ah lol
[03:11] <maedhros> acecase: Will your solution still help?

[03:12] <markelhas> nickrud, gconftool --recursive-unset /system/storage/volumes
[03:12] <rawkfist> i worked on that for an hour, you get it done in 10 seconds lol
[03:13] <Pelo> scythetleppo,  ok , unplug the ubuntu hdd, and install windows on the second hdd,  then plug the ubuntu hdd back in , and come back here I'll help you edit the menu.lst file
[03:13] <maedhros> acecase: Okay, looking at the grub config, but the text "boot=" does not occur at all
[03:13] <markelhas> nickrud, when i turn on the disk safe msg about mount option error!
[03:13] <kravlin> iTG`Neatchee: it didnt auto identify me. I should now.

[03:13] <kravlin> it should.
[03:13] <Neatchee> I'm on my proper nick now too :)

[03:14] <scythetleppo> Pelo: it's on other computer so I can stay here while I do it. starting now.
[03:14] <nickrud> markelhas: that should have removed any configs set by right clicking. I did it here on my machine first, and it erased all my customization ;)
[03:14] <eypt> pelo the jre so i can get onto pogo and play the games :P
[03:14] <Animum> Pelo, I installed ubuntu and sized the partitions, but I do not see windows as an option at startup
[03:14] <LinuxProbie> CoasterMaster, Are you still around?
[03:14] <Grungebunny> how do you install new mouse pointers? such as the ones on gnome-look ?
[03:14] <nickrud> markelhas: ok, I need to see the exact error
[03:14] <function1> what exactly is a "theme engine" as compared to just a theme
[03:14] <markelhas> nickrud, :(
[03:14] <johwil> GRUBBGG
[03:14] <eypt> pelo yay it worked ty nickrud :)
[03:14] <CoasterMaster> LinuxProbie, what's up/
[03:14] <Pelo> scythetleppo, it will be easier for you to boot ubuntu on the ontehr computer and join from there when it it time to installed
[03:14] <scythetleppo> Pelo: they on same desk
[03:14] <johwil> GRUB PROBLEMS?
[03:15] <johwil> try: http://aquariusoft.org/~johwil/Grub/
[03:15] <LinuxProbie> CoasterMaster, when following those installation instructions, I got tar: /opt: Cannot chdir: No such file or directory
[03:15] <LinuxProbie> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[03:15] <LinuxProbie>  after putting in sudo tar jxvf Azureus_2.5.0.4_linux.tar.bz2 -C /opt/
[03:15] <Evanlec> what does it mean if theres a Boot directory and the file grldr on my windows partition (C: drive) ? this is GRUB right? safe to remove these?
[03:15] <maedhros> acecase: I assume it's supposed to go here, somewhere; "kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic root=UUID=5961b2b8-ccbe-43cb-8c18-02d8d6d5fd8a ro quiet splash" ?
[03:15] <Ignominy> Who can I talk to about an install problem?
[03:15] <Pelo> Animum,  ok , let's try this first , open a terminal and type  blkid  see if you see a ntfs partition
[03:15] <aguitel> how i see .mov videos ?
[03:15] <Pelo> scythetleppo, there will be some copy patsing involved
[03:15] <CoasterMaster> LinuxProbie: sudo mkdir /opt/
[03:15] <acecase> maedhros: yes make that say "kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic root=UUID=5961b2b8-ccbe-43cb-8c18-02d8d6d5fd8a ro quiet splash noapic nolapic"
[03:16] <markelhas> nickrud, when i turn on my usb disk it says: "Cannot mount volume. Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'DIGIMATE'."
[03:16] <LinuxProbie> CoasterMaster, that did the trick, thx
[03:16] <acecase> I hate this UUID crap. what is wrong with root=/dev/hda1 or whatever
[03:16] <maedhros> acecase: Okay, thanks. Will try that. Have to get some work done, but time will show if it helps :)
[03:16] <Grungebunny> how do you install new mouse pointers? such as the ones on gnome-look ?
[03:16] <Pelo> johwil,  what is the grub problem you have
[03:16] <markelhas> nickrud, can i provide some extra info, if yes how?
[03:16] <nickrud> markelhas: ok, then:   alt-f2  gconf-editor
[03:16] <acecase> maedhros: good luck
[03:16] <Evanlec> !uuid
[03:16] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  sudo blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[03:17] <Pelo> Grungebunny, copy them unpacked file to home/user/.icons  and then select the pointer from the mouse menu under prefs
[03:17] <jamescarr> hey
[03:17] <jamescarr> uh
[03:17] <johwil> Pelo: none i just have a wonderful prog for solution
[03:17] <Grungebunny> Pelo u da man thanks.
[03:17] <jamescarr> what was that command to list the services on my own ports?
[03:17] <jamescarr> I need to find out what port tomcat is runnin on
[03:18] <david___> anyone got a link to a fairly updated and comphrensive sources.list for apt?
[03:18] <BuLB> anyone here/
[03:18] <scottyw1> scottywz_
[03:18] <function1> what exactly is a "theme engine" as opposed to just a theme?
[03:18] <Evanlec> what does it mean if theres a Boot directory and the file grldr on my windows partition (C: drive) ? this is GRUB right? safe to remove these?
[03:18] <Surf24> Are Ibex computers any good?
[03:18] <scythetleppo> function1: theme = settings for a theme engine
[03:18] <BuLB> i just installed my ubuntu ver 7.4
[03:18] <scythetleppo> function1: theme engine = program to take settings and apply them to your desktop
[03:18] <krammer> how do i install java runtime?
[03:19] <CoasterMaster> krammer: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin
[03:19] <Pelo> !java | krammer
[03:19] <ubotu> krammer: 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
[03:19] <eypt> krammer ^^
[03:19] <saxartist> hi, if my mobo power light is on, but the power button doesn't work, is that more likely a p.s. issue or the mobo itself?
[03:19] <saxartist> the computer won't turn on
[03:19] <eypt> lol decided to try doin it on my own i have 2 more useless desktop icons XD
[03:19] <function1> scythetleppo: do you mean apply them to gtk2?
[03:19] <eypt> then i used ^ and worked lol
[03:19] <CoasterMaster> krammer, sorry sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[03:19] <Ignominy> Who can I talk to about an install problem?
[03:19] <cretep> how can i tell what version of ubuntu I'm running?
[03:19] <eypt> coaster :P
[03:20] <krammer> i just installed that
[03:20] <Pelo> saxartist, I'd say it's a case problem , the power switch it broken
[03:20] <scythetleppo> function1: whatever you are using
[03:20] <Evanlec> saxartist, more than likely its simply a matter of connecting power switch wire from your case to the headers on your motherboard
[03:20] <eypt> ignominy ask away and someone will get to ya XD
[03:20] <CoasterMaster> eypt: all the packages get jumbled in my head
[03:20] <eypt> bit busy as ya can see tho
[03:20] <nickrud> CoasterMaster: both work, they depend on each other
[03:20] <vader1102> saxartist, I would try another known good power supply........if that does not work, then I would start looking into other things
[03:20] <Pelo> Animum,  ?
[03:20] <eypt> coaster im a new ubuntu user how do u think im feeling atm?
[03:20] <eypt> :P
[03:20] <nickrud> cretep: lsb_release -a
[03:20] <BuLB> just installed my ubuntu
[03:20] <CoasterMaster> eypt, haha, i know how you're feeling :)
[03:20] <saxartist> Pelo: I'm ahead of you there, I've tried multiple power jumpers, and the trick with shorting the jumper by way of a metal object
[03:20] <Ignominy> When I go to boot from the CD I get the following message: "The system memory manager (EMM386.EXE) has detected an error caused by a fault in one of the device drivers or programs loaded in the system.
[03:20] <Ignominy> Due to this fault, the system is probably in an unstable state, and you are therefore recommended to reboot the computer immediately. If the problem persists, then try to isolate which program is at fault (if you have loaded several, then load them one at a time until the fault appears), then contact the technical support department for that program.
[03:21] <eypt> BuLB coastermaster just did mine saturday
[03:21] <Talcite> hey guys, is there any reason why I need avahi-daemon and avahi-autoipd running?
[03:21] <nickrud> Ignominy: isn't that a windows error?
[03:21] <LinuxProbie> CoasterMaster, Everything works now, thx!
[03:21] <BuLB> eypt just did mine the other day
[03:21] <Talcite> I have a feeling it's actually conflicting with my network DHCP
[03:21] <Pelo> eypt, the moment you installed linux you became a 1337 h4x0rs,  you no longer have the right to be wrong, you must now spend all you free time memorising manpages and googling for howtos
[03:21] <krammer> Coaster: couldnt find package
[03:21] <scythetleppo> Pelo: this is weird, xp doesn't recognize my ntfs drive(?)
[03:21] <nickrud> rflol, Pelo
[03:21] <moyer> anyone know whats good to  use to run a radio station server?
[03:21] <holotone> Fresh install of Feisty 64 on a  new dual core 64bit gateway desktop - And for some horrid reason, my wired connection is about as flaky as it can get. Other computers connected via cat5 to the same router are fine, but this one in particular says it is connected, but about every other request for a website just loads, and loads, and loads, and loads, etc.. Any ideas as to how I can diagnose the problem?
[03:21] <Evanlec> Pelo, LOL
[03:21] <function1> scythetleppo: so an engine might give a new set of widgets, and a theme for that engine says what color, border, etc etc
[03:21] <eypt> Pelo lol takes alot more then a OS to do that but im working on the 1337 part XD
[03:22] <Pelo> Talcite,  they run your networkcard
[03:22] <eypt> pelo jk ;)
[03:22] <scythetleppo> Pelo: it says I can delete the partition if I want to, but no way since there's massive data on there
[03:22] <Talcite> guys, is there ANY reason why I need avahi running on my system?
[03:22] <Ignominy> Nickrud: possibly as I can't dual boot into WinXP Pro.  I've done three repair installs.  After each repair install I'm able to get into windows but once I restart the computer it goes striaght to a blue screen.
[03:22] <Pelo> scythetleppo, cause it 's a new hdd and it is not partitionned yet ?
[03:22] <Talcite> is it an essential service?
[03:22] <scythetleppo> function1: right and they would call that a widget engine
[03:22] <eypt> pelo and btw i have been memorising alot since i got it and doing alot of freaking howtos -.-
[03:22] <beeew> hi. anyone running on nginx in here?
[03:22] <scythetleppo> Pelo: it's not new and it is partitioned and has lots of movies and stuff on it
[03:22] <eypt> pelo had to bookmark em to look thru em when i get the chance
[03:23] <mav> nickrud, solved the problem, how can i write in this disk know!
[03:23] <someone2005> should grub be installed when I just have the ubuntu os installed ?
[03:23] <Pelo> scythetleppo, I'M not sure windows partitions drives, if you install it will automaticaly overwrite the partiton you write to
[03:23] <usser> someone2005: yes
[03:23] <BuLB> any software that is like an exchange server here?
[03:23] <nickrud> Ignominy: I had a problem like that after partitioning with gparted.  try    sudo fdisk -l   in a terminal , fdisk told me my partition table was fubar'd. I had to repartition with cfdisk and reinstall everything
[03:23] <eypt> but for the most part im doing well with it id say im getting the dling and installing downpact i just wanna grab a couple of the admin programs and play around with my home network pelo :P
[03:23] <BuLB> any software that is like an exchange server on ubuntu?
[03:24] <nickrud> mav: great!
[03:24] <Neatchee> Hi everyone, I'm still waiting for some help with a segmentation fault in gnome-keybinding-properties.  I've made a post on the forums, including a full description of the problem, relevant, a backtrace, and an strace output.
[03:24] <function1> scythetleppo: k. er, then what exactly does a theme engine change? i guess, what else is there besides widgets
[03:24] <scythetleppo> Pelo: so I have to clear all this data off just to install it and move it all back over?
[03:24] <Pelo> scythetleppo,  if you need to move some stuf out first, I suggest you plug the ubuntu hdd back in , use gparted to rezise the ntfs partition on your new hdd and then instlall windows on the available space
[03:24] <scythetleppo> function1: you know what emerald is?
[03:24] <cretep> how can I see my windows partition in Feisty?t
[03:24] <Neatchee> oops, meant to include the link to the thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3344715#post3344715
[03:24] <function1> scythetleppo: themes for beryl?
[03:24] <Pelo> scythetleppo,  let me try that again
[03:24] <mav> nickrud, with the gconf-editor i've found the problem. can i write to this fat32 usb disk?
[03:24] <nickrud> Neatchee: have you checked bugs.launchpad.net ; that's where those things should go
[03:24] <usser> BuLB: exchange is a mail server right?
[03:24] <nickrud> mav: you should.
[03:24] <Ignominy> nickrud: I can't even get to Grub.
[03:24] <scythetleppo> function1: no emerald is the engine
[03:24] <Pelo> scythetleppo,  is there some free space on that hdd ?
[03:25] <nickrud> Ignominy: try with a livecd I guess.
[03:25] <mav> nickrud, but says that i don't have permissions
[03:25] <scythetleppo> Pelo: free space on both yes but one partition on each only
[03:25] <BuLB> usser : yiup..want to setup a mail server on ubuntu..how?
[03:25] <Pelo> scythetleppo, do not plug the ubuntu hdd back in
[03:25] <Neatchee> nickrud: i'm not prepared to say it's a bug in ubuntu/gnome yet, because i can't reproduce it on a fresh install
[03:25] <function1> scythetleppo: ok so if not widgets, theme engine does windows or something?
[03:25] <Pelo> scythetleppo,  join me in #pelo please
[03:25] <nugget93> hey can anyone help me?
[03:26] <kag> Hi guys, I'm having problem with my sound card. I've pushed all the sliders all the way up in Alsa Mixer and I still can't hear a sound in many applications (like VLC or Firefox). Actually the only applications that are outputting sound are Totem Movie Player and Skype. Any idea on what I could try?
[03:26] <Jengerer> nickrud: You there?
[03:26] <nickrud> mav: delete everything under volumes in the gconf-editor
[03:26] <nickrud> Jengerer: hey, how are you.
[03:26] <mav> nickrud, says "You do not have permissions to write to this folder."
[03:26] <usser> BuLB: i dont know much about it, linux has the sendmail server which was around for decades
[03:26] <Ignominy> Nickrud: I'm fairly certain I'm using a livecd.  It is possible I jacked up the burn; how, I don't know, but it is possible.
[03:27] <nickrud> Neatchee: I can relate to that, I nearly always find it's pebcak
[03:27] <Jengerer> nickrud: I tried the guide, it didn't work. So I tried opening my DSDT file and recompiling it (after fixing all the errors in it), but it still doesn't work. I think it's a lost cause.
[03:27] <Jengerer> nickrud: And nobody's replied to my post yet.
[03:27] <cretep> what do I need to do to see my windows partition on a dual boot machine (Feisty)?
[03:27] <saint-takesh4> cretep: mount it
[03:27] <nugget93> hey guys, I'm wondering a few things before i install ubuntu. They are :  1. Does is have Macromedia Flash Player?   2. Whats the chance i'll lose data from windows XP (im dual booting) and lastly 3. anyone wanna walk me through partitioning?
[03:28] <nickrud> Jengerer: some things are hard. That's one of the reasons I try to stay away from compiling where ever possible these days. I compiled up a system a couple times, that was enough :)
[03:28] <eypt> hmm auto message on private pelo?
[03:28] <Pelo> eypt, I don'T allow private msg please talk to me in the channel
[03:28] <eypt> ahh np m8 :)
[03:28] <cretep> how do I mount it (this is a newbie help channel, right)?
[03:28] <mkultras> i was trying to install pptpd server for many hours already, i was going to try webmin to config it so i did apt-get install webmin but no go, and then apt-cache search webmin and its not there, cat /etc/debian_version says 4.0 on my server
[03:28] <Jengerer> nickrud: I guess I'm going to have to stick with my eye-candy-less XP Media Center and check back until there's a fix.
[03:28] <nugget93> so can anyone help me?
[03:28] <mav> nickrud, done, only default values know
[03:28] <anandanbu> I installed Ubuntu 7.04 as the only OS for my system and the GRUB is not getting detected during the boot Help needed
[03:29] <nickrud> mav: unmount the drive, and stick it back in.
[03:29] <mkultras> any suggetsion now i can get pptpd configed i'm super frustrated now
[03:29] <Surf24> Are Gigabyte motherboards linux compatible?
[03:29] <eypt> hmm u use the linux irc or mirc pelo?
[03:29] <Jengerer> nugget93: 1. yes 2. None if you've done it right. 3. For what purpose?
[03:29] <Pelo> Surf24,  you can try looking in here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:29] <jacob_> having problems installing my wireless driver, can anybody help?
[03:29] <Pelo> eypt,  I use xchat
[03:29] <nugget93>  jengerer: 3. So i can install ubuntu linux
[03:30] <nugget93> jengerer: im running the live version right now
[03:30] <eypt> hmm i find this one easier to manage with the other windows pelo mirc was killin me with the popup windows :P
[03:30] <jamescarr> I need to find out what port tomcat is runnin on
[03:30] <Pelo> jacob_,  it is better to ask specific questions if anyone can hlep they will try
[03:30] <jamescarr> what command?
[03:30] <Surf24> Thx will try, ayone out there with an Ibex desktop?
[03:30] <Jengerer> nugget93: Do you have two harddrives installed on your computer
[03:30] <nugget93> jengerer: no just 1
[03:30] <aguitel> !.mov
[03:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mov - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:30] <cretep> how do i mount my windoze xp partition so I can see it?
[03:30] <nickrud> mkultras: what does lsb_release -a say
[03:31] <Pelo> eypt,  that is why I block private msg
[03:31] <adelie> every startup it says the disks havn't been checked in thousands of days then freezes. ???
[03:31] <eypt> ahh lol
[03:31] <Jengerer> nugget93: Then you're going to have to get a program called Partition Magic and resize your partition so that you have a separate partition for Ubuntu.
[03:31] <Thor_> does anyone here use WEBMIN?
[03:31] <anandanbu> I installed Ubuntu 7.04 as the only OS for my system and the GRUB is not getting detected during the boot Help needed
[03:31] <adelie> I love webmin
[03:31] <saint-takesh2> cretep: firstly, find out the device name for the partition (/dev/hdxy, where x is the letter of the harddrive {a=pri master, b=pri slave, etc) and y is the partition number
[03:31] <Jengerer> nugget93: it's a windows software, and it's not free.
[03:31] <nugget93> jengerer: I've heard with feisty fawn, you can partition from within the installer or use gparted
[03:31] <ckin2001> Jengerer, you can use gparted to resize windows
[03:31] <jacob_> pelo, can you help me? I'm having difficulties knowing which driver i need to download at step two at this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff
[03:32] <nugget93> jengerer: btw if you didnt know im using the live version of feisty fawn right now
[03:32] <WojciechG> Hi everyone. I just did a Distribution Upgrade on Ubuntu and one of my partitions "lost" all of its data... "Lost" as in the files disappeared but the data appears to be there. How can I retrieve this?
[03:32] <adelie> anadanbu did you make sure the boot loader was updated and installed? update-grub && grub-install (something like that)
[03:32] <Pelo> jacob_, I don'T use wifi myself, and I've never installed it , but I'll give it a look
[03:32] <Jengerer> nugget93: So press ALT + F2, and type in sudo gparted.
[03:33] <VousDeux> so far, the best partioning reference I have found is titled "Linux Partition HOWTO"
[03:33] <nickrud> mav: ping
[03:33] <Jengerer> nugget93: Then when you get there, you have to resize the partition that's there. (Should only be one.)
[03:33] <Jengerer> nugget93: Then, when you're installing ubuntu, you have to choose the second partition for installing.
[03:33] <nickrud> VousDeux: tldp.org, a great site :)
[03:33] <nugget93> jengerer: there is and ive defragged hard drive and its 45% free and its 300gb, how much space do i need for linux and how many different partitions
[03:34] <Jengerer> nugget93: And if you haven't made a new partition out of the one that was created when you resized, you should be able to just select "largest continuous partition" or whatever the option is.
[03:34] <Pelo> jacob_,  look up your wifi card in this link and see if it is listed and if they tell you which driver to use  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:34] <Azer> how do i solve this?  Sep 10 17:32:47 mars kernel: [369696.137150]  NTFS-fs error (device hdb5): ntfs_readdir(): Directory index record with vcn 0x0 is corrupt.  Corrupt inode 0x2098.  Run chkdsk.
[03:34] <{{Booh}}> hey... what happen to package "localeconf" ?  I can't find it!
[03:34] <MTecknology> where are my icons at for items that load into the tray? There one icon shows up blank when my panel is too small b/c it's missing a certain file
[03:34] <nickrud> Azer: you should have windows check and fix it's own disk, it's safer
[03:34] <Azer> nickrud if i had a windows box here.
[03:34] <Azer> hmmm
[03:34] <Jengerer> nugget93: You only need one partition that's not formatted to any type yet, and it'll automatically create everything you need. Ubuntu takes up maximum 3-5 gbs (I think) so 70-100 would be more than enough.
[03:35] <MTecknology> i think there's supposed to be something like a 16x16 and a 32x32 directory or something like that
[03:35] <nugget93> jengerer: ok ive heard about a swap thing? whats that
[03:35] <nickrud> Azer: then you need to read up on chkdsk or wait for someone who's used it. :)
[03:35] <scythetleppo> Pelo: I got some errors =/
[03:35] <cretep> ok, gparted says the windoze partition is /dev/sda1
[03:35] <Azer> nickrud cool
[03:35] <cretep> how do i mount it?
[03:35] <nickrud> gotta go eat, bbl
[03:36] <Jengerer> nugget93: I'm not exactly sure, honestly... but I know that Ubuntu automatically creates it out of the partition that you set for the installation.
[03:36] <ckin2001> nugget93, swap is a swap partition, like windows swap file
[03:36] <nugget93> jengerer: ok ive freed up about 40gb now what do i do?
[03:36] <nugget93> so i have 40gb of extra not used partition
[03:36] <xeer> hi everyone, i have a somewhat odd issue
[03:37] <Jengerer> nugget93: First, make sure you've applied the changes in GParted by clicking apply, and then start the Install file on the desktop.
[03:37] <nugget93> so thats all
[03:37] <eypt> pelo np m8 :)
[03:37] <nugget93> i dont gotta make new partitions
[03:37] <xeer> i'm using a mounted sshfs resource, which i've given ownership of to my non-root account. i can create a file, modify it once, and then get locked out of the file. what could cause this?
[03:37] <Jengerer> No.
[03:38] <nugget93> i hope thats not gonna delete any of my data that i got on windows, i just hit apply
[03:38] <Jengerer> If you did it correctly, it shouldn't.
[03:38] <arkanes> does anyone know if theres a repo where someone has pidgin packaged, preferably in a package that correcly obseletes the old gaim package?
[03:38] <ckin2001> xeer - can't remember how sshfs works, but is it mounted to quash root (like nfs)?
[03:38] <nugget93> ok, thanks jengerer
[03:38] <moyer> how do i set dolphin as my default file manager?
[03:38] <preaction> !backports | arkanes
[03:38] <ubotu> arkanes: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[03:39] <kanuha> question, does Linux work with all SATA? Does it need anything special, I read something about ACHI or AHCI.
[03:39] <Jengerer> nugget93: No problem. Welcome to Ubuntu. :D
[03:39] <lufis> Is there any way in dvd::rip to automatically resize a video?
[03:39] <MasonUS> Yes, it supports SATA
[03:39] <PKdoR> I just noticed that i can use the back/foward buttons of my mouse on firefox but not on the file browser
[03:39] <xeer> ckin2001: i assume you're referring to squash root? either case i'm not familiar with that term
[03:39] <thedash> why does iptraf need to be run as admin ?
[03:39] <MasonUS> Check out the compatibility listing for your motherboard on the forums.
[03:39] <nugget93> Jengerer: lol this seems like its taking a while, i keep getting more and more nervous
[03:40] <arkanes> it's not in backports as far as I can tell
[03:40] <ckin2001> xeer - it prevents local root from acting as root on a remote file system
[03:40] <JamesCarr> how do I refresh my shell?
[03:40] <JamesCarr> so I can see my bash script?
[03:40] <JamesCarr> I mean, my bashrc
[03:40] <Palintheus> How do I enable/disable "tapping" on my laptop's touchpad?
[03:40] <xeer> ckin2001: ah yes, i've been looking for a way to do that
[03:40] <Jengerer> nugget93: If your computer is decently new/fast, it should take maybe 5-10 minutes for the installation.
[03:40] <vich> Palintheus, usually obtain the correct driver
[03:41] <ckin2001> xeer, duno how it works on sshfs on the remote side, its well-documented and recommended on nfs
[03:41] <ckin2001> xeer, i imagine sshfs has an equivalent
[03:41] <SnarkyTwit> Hi folks
[03:41] <smick> IS there a way to create a text file of a list of files > folders inside a folder?
[03:41] <BuLB> how to format the ubuntu?
[03:41] <xeer> ckin2001: i would be modifying the GID/UID correct?
[03:42] <ckin2001> xeer, i dont follow
[03:42] <Surf24> Wish me luck. Bye.
[03:42] <vich> Palintheus, for example I had an alps touchpad on my dell and by obtaining a better driver somewhere I had a config which allowed toggle of tapping, scrolling, inertial movement, etc
[03:42] <vich> BuLB, format the ubuntu?
[03:42] <xeer> ckin2001: nor do i.. searching proves fruitless
[03:42] <arsonx> smik: sudo aptitude install tree
[03:42] <SnarkyTwit> how the hell is everyone tonight??
[03:43] <BuLB> vich : yes...want to format my existing ubuntu and reinstall a fresh one.
[03:43] <arsonx> smik: tree /somedir > somedir.txt
[03:43] <JoseBravo> I don't remember what version of ubunto Im using, how can I check that?
[03:43] <Pelo> SnarkyTwit, mean and nasty
[03:43] <eypt> hmm does anyone know a linux based anti virus gaurd ?
[03:43] <BuLB> vich : how to format a pc with ubuntu on it?
[03:43] <Neatchee> eypt: clamav
[03:43] <smick> arsonx, it says it going to uninstall cabextract to get tree.  Ok?
[03:43] <SnarkyTwit> :)
[03:43] <eypt> neatchee tyvm
[03:43] <Pelo> JoseBravo, check in the first tab of the system monitor
[03:43] <vich> BuLB, just boot from the disc like you did to install it and when you reach the partition section choose manual
[03:43] <ambrose_> pelo r u always on
[03:43] <ambrose_> WHAHAHAHAHA
[03:44] <Pelo> ambrose_, no , I just drop in for a couple of hours every now and again
[03:44] <JoseBravo> Pelo, thanks.
[03:44] <vich> BuLB, then click the box next to your existing ubuntu partition, make sure the mount point is set to / and away you go
[03:44] <ambrose_> ha koooool
[03:44] <smick> y
[03:44] <blackmars0> Hi.
[03:44] <arsonx> smik: not sure didn't do it on mine :(
[03:44] <blackmars0> I have a quick question, if somebody's willing... I don't want to waste space on the forums.
[03:45] <Flannel> blackmars0: Best to just ask, instead of asking to ask.
[03:45] <smick> arsonx: maybe it was just a loose file from something else.
[03:45] <Thor_> =/
[03:45] <Pelo> blackmars0,  just ask
[03:45] <vich> blackmars0, for best results, just ask
[03:45] <smick> I got tree. Looking into it.
[03:45] <blackmars0> I see, thanks.
[03:45] <ckin2001> xeer, fuse options of sshfs has allow rootas one
[03:45] <Thor_> does anyone know how to bring up the gui for webmin?
[03:45] <vich> blackmars0, then see your forums if pain persists
[03:45] <arsonx> smick: you can also do ls -R > file.txt
[03:45] <ckin2001> Thor_, localhost:(webmin port)
[03:46] <ckin2001> in address bar of browser
[03:46] <arsonx> smick: tree just sorts in a "tree" format
[03:46] <blackmars0> ok, so I dual boot XP (hd 0,1) and ubuntu (hd 0,0), I want to resintall ubuntu, can I just reinstall from the liveCD on the ubuntu partition or do I have to wipe the entire drive and start over?
[03:46] <Jengerer> You can just reinstall to the ubuntu partition.
[03:46] <vich> blackmars0, you can reinstall from the live cd
[03:46] <xeer> chkin2001: thanks, i'll look into it
[03:46] <vich> just choose the right partition
[03:46] <smick> arsonx:  that pretty good to, it does subdirectories even.
[03:46] <blackmars0> Shouldn't corrupt my XP partition at all?
[03:47] <Pelo> blackmars0, you can just reinstall ubuntu on the ubunth partition , but be warned if will whipe your /home , unless you copy it first or move it to a diffrent partition
[03:47] <arsonx> smike: y
[03:47] <vich> provided you don't click the format checkbox next to the windows partition
[03:47] <Jengerer> No, if you choose the right partition.
[03:47] <blackmars0> ok, excellent.
[03:47] <blackmars0> Thank you very much.
[03:47] <vich> I've done it thrice now
[03:47] <Pelo> blackmars0, unless you pck the wrong partiton your xp partiton is safe
[03:47] <vich> so you have my confirmation
[03:47] <blackmars0> A++, would ask again.
[03:47] <MasonUS> I'm thinking about building a machine just for ubuntu.  I've got a parts list already.  Where would be a good place to have my list critiqued?
[03:47] <Thor_> ckin2001 can you give me an example is it like webmin:80?
[03:47] <smick> arsonx:  just so I know, where does tree reside now, under a menu?
[03:47] <blackmars0> cheers, guys. later.
[03:47] <vich> is he giving us ebay-esque feedback?
[03:47] <vich> o_O
[03:48] <ckin2001> Thor_, localhost:2000 or 127.0.0.1:580
[03:48] <ckin2001> but duno the actual # after the :
[03:48] <arsonx> smick: its a console program you run in a terminal
[03:48] <vich> and then the goat grew an extra horn
[03:48] <scythetleppo> Pelo: no bootmgr now
[03:48] <Pelo> vich, it's no worse then  you the man
[03:48] <Thor_> ckin2001 ok thx ill give that a try
[03:48] <Pelo> scythetleppo,  did you plug the ubuntu hdd back in ?
[03:48] <smick> ahh, just figured that out just as you wrote it.  go into directory, type tree, and I m good.
[03:48] <vich> lol Pelo
[03:48] <scythetleppo> Pelo: no
[03:49] <vich> well, I'm off for a bit
[03:49] <Pelo> scythetleppo, plug the ubuntu hdd back it
[03:49] <Pelo> in
[03:49] <scythetleppo> Pelo: haven't finished installing xp
[03:49] <MasonUS> no answer on that one, lol
[03:49] <MasonUS> thats ok.
[03:49] <Pelo> scythetleppo, well that's why you get no boot manager
[03:49] <scythetleppo> Pelo: ?
[03:49] <Pelo> scythetleppo, #pelo again
[03:50] <JoseBravo> How can I clean my ntfs partition, Im trying to do it with ntfsfix, but I get errors, exist other way without start windows?
[03:51] <Gaidin> hello in gnome when i connect to a ftp server (with login) how do i set it to pasv
[03:51] <Gaidin> ie through places
[03:52] <Jengerer> Is there a way to change the chip that the alsamixer controls, if it's not using the right one.
[03:53] <Ravenndude`> I have an odd tech question, not ubuntu related: If a packet has a "length" of 66, what is that? 66 bits?
[03:54] <nugget93> jengerer: I got a question can you help me?
[03:54] <Jengerer> nugget93: Yeah, go ahead.
[03:54] <preaction> Ravenndude`, most likely 66 bytes
[03:55] <nugget93> ok, after ive installed it, i havent started can i make it so it loads windows automatically unless i hold uhh like enter then it boots into ubuntu?
[03:55] <Nighthawk420_> hey can yall help me setup my HP Photosmart C5100 network printer?
[03:55] <PKdoR> would [".*" None,Up,Alt_L|Left None,Down,Alt_L|Right]  Make the back/forward mouse buttons work on the file explorer?
[03:55] <Nyle> !ntfs
[03:55] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:56] <Jengerer> When you start up your computer, does it show you a list of OSs you can boot with?
[03:56] <nugget93> idk i havent installed yet
[03:56] <nugget93> but i was wondering if that was possible
[03:57] <PKdoR> can some one help with  a mouse trouble
[03:57] <Jengerer> Oh, well, when you install it, there's going to be a list of OS's you can boot with, and it automatically chooses the first one unless you say so, so you can just change the order.
[03:57] <orion> Ravenndude`, I agree with preaction ...though it is more common to refer to packet 'size' vice 'length'
[03:57] <Pici> Gaidin: I just did some sniffing and it looks like it uses pasv by default.
[03:57] <Gaidin> oh?
[03:57] <nugget93> ok ill install
[03:57] <nugget93> wish me good luck
[03:57] <Azer> !ntfs-3g
[03:57] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[03:57] <nugget93> oh 1 last thing
[03:57] <Gaidin> well then that isn't the problewm
[03:57] <Jengerer> ?
[03:57] <Nyle> !ntfs3g
[03:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs3g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:57] <Nyle> !ntfs-3g
[03:58] <Nyle> could anyone kindly guide me to ntfs3g RW in ubuntu?
[03:58] <Pici> Nyle: read above.
[03:58] <Blackmars0> ok, so I'm reinstalling ubuntu on it's partition as I planned, so I've selected the ubuntu partition, and selected it to be formatted, but when I click "forward" it says "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu."
[03:58] <Gaidin> i am trying to connect to ftp.freewebtown.com (the sita says www.freewebtown.com so i am trying that as well) but even though the window is popping up
[03:58] <Nyle> oh
[03:58] <Gaidin> i am not getting any content
[03:58] <nugget93> i just tried to partition and it said it failed but it still had the partitions and stuff showing that it actually happened, is that good or bad
[03:58] <Ravenndude`> orion, thank you. In the pcap ruby lib, you can do packet.length and there is nothing in the documentation that says what it is.
[03:58] <Nyle> thanks, I didn't see Azer
[03:59] <gnurph> i had X working properly - then modified xorg.conf to use a serial mouse - didn't work - then i changed it back - and now X won't start properly.  Any suggestions?

[03:59] <Evanlec> gnurph, check for typos
[03:59] <PKdoR> would [".*" None,Up,Alt_L|Left None,Down,Alt_L|Right]  Make the back/forward mouse buttons work on the file browser?
[03:59] <Jengerer> nugget93: Close Gparted if it's open, and reopen it and see if the changes are there.
[04:00] <foxray> hmm i emptied my trash bin yet, the icon still says its full, i open it and i don't see anything in there, no hidden items either
[04:00] <gnurph> evanlec:  i copied the old xorg.conf overtop of the current one to make sure it wasn't an issue.
[04:00] <foxray> whats the deal?
[04:00] <Evanlec> PKdoR, where/how are u trying to configure your forward/back buttons?
[04:00] <Blackmars0> ok, so I'm reinstalling ubuntu on it's partition as I planned, so I've selected the ubuntu partition, and selected it to be formatted, but when I click "forward" it says "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu.", any ideas?
[04:00] <Evanlec> gnurph, ok, u might have to do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:01] <LOWLUX> IS THERE A PROGRAM THAT WILL SAVE MY SETTING ON A LIVE CD TO A USE DRIVE?

[04:01] <ubotu> LOWLUX: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[04:01] <nugget93> jengerer: the changes are still there, it said the errors were like checking filesystem and stuff
[04:02] <Jengerer> nugget93: Not sure, but if the changes are there, it should be OK.
[04:02] <vader1102> LOWLUX, does it not auto mount? They normally do....
[04:02] <TheMafia> I can only startx as root, I have chowned everything in my directory to me and it still doesn't work

[04:02] <ubotu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[04:02] <Nyle> the ntfs-config tool only lets me enable or disable write support, it doesn't have anything that can let me select a mount point as it says on the wiki
[04:02] <LOWLUX> not the live cd
[04:02] <nugget93> ok ill try it now
[04:02] <Nyle> is the documentation wrong or is the software lacking?
[04:02] <Nyle> whats going on here?
[04:02] <ian_> I've got a config file that says "checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!" which libraries do I need?
[04:03] <LOWLUX> i want to save my settings on a live cd/
[04:03] <LOWLUX> how?
[04:03] <ian_> or do I have them and the configure can't find them?
[04:03] <TheMafia> My .Xauthority keeps getting a group of root instead of my user, even after chowning .*
[04:04] <vader1102> sorry LOWLUX I mis-read as usual
[04:04] <bruenig> TheMafia, don't sudo graphical applications
[04:04] <LOWLUX> i want to save my settings on a live cd? how?
[04:04] <fujin_> Hi, what does everyone use for management of iptables via Init?
[04:04] <bruenig> LOWLUX, calm down
[04:04] <d4rkmonkey> Does anyone here know anything about Fuppes ?
[04:04] <fujin_> I'd rather not write my own script to drop in /etc/init.d
[04:04] <Nyle> ahh
[04:04] <LOWLUX> i can't install linux on a 1 gig use drive?
[04:05] <Nyle> fstype as in mount -t is ntfs-3g not ntfs
[04:05] <VousDeux> !partition
[04:05] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[04:05] <bruenig> fujin_, iptables is launched by default, are you thinking the rules go away or something each boot?
[04:05] <Nyle> why is this not ducumented on the wiki link that was provided to me
[04:05] <nugget93> jengerer: its asking me for Guided - Use entire disk with a sub option that says SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda) - 300.1 GB ATA WDC WD3000JD-00k or i can choose Guided - use the largest continuous free space or another option is manual, what should i choose jengerer
[04:05] <fujin_> bruenig, iptables isn't launched, it's a kernel module, but yes. I'm referring to a script which will persistently restore my firewall rules
[04:05] <fujin_> from a configuration file
[04:05] <bruenig> Nyle, heh, the ubuntu wiki is awful, people put stuff on their blogs not on the wiki
[04:05] <fujin_> ala /etc/init.d/iptables in Gentoo
[04:05] <Jengerer> nugget93: Use the largest continuous free space.
[04:06] <Nyle> bruenig: then discard the wiki ?
[04:06] <TheMafia> bruenig, I know, I just need to test to see if it was a permissions problem and it is
[04:06] <PKdoR> can some one help configuring back/forward buttons for file browser please?
[04:06] <nugget93> ok
[04:06] <Nyle> or maybe educate the users a bit better
[04:06] <FFForever> is there a 3rd generation firewall?, (a software level firewall.........)
[04:06] <bruenig> fujin_, um do which iptables
[04:07] <bruenig> fujin_, it is indeed launched
[04:07] <anandanbu> I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 in my machine with 100 mb for /boot(pri) and 100gb for /(logical) and 2gb for swap with a 50gb freespace and now when i boot inot my system the GRUB doesn't get detected and shows error
[04:07] <nugget93> jengerer is there a way i can pm you?
[04:07] <LOWLUX> where can i get a cheap IDE hard drive?
[04:07] <fujin_> bruenig, um, no it's not. It's a kernel module. ipt_*
[04:07] <PKdoR> newegg.com
[04:07] <fujin_> iptables is a frontend to the kernel modules
[04:07] <bruenig> no shit but it still need be launched
[04:07] <WaxyFresh> where does gaim hide the log files?
[04:07] <Nyle> bruenig: I, a veteran debian user is having trouble figuring out ubuntu.  I can't immagine how a new user must feel
[04:07] <fujin_> no, something that controls the rules needs to be launched
[04:07] <bruenig> or restored if you will
[04:07] <Nyle> heh
[04:08] <fujin_> and there is not one ;)
[04:08] <bruenig> like alsa
[04:08] <fujin_> yes, like alsa. There isn't one for iptables.
[04:08] <fujin_> no /etc/init.d/iptables or anything.
[04:08] <bruenig> hmmm
[04:08] <fujin_> dpkg -L iptables
[04:08] <anandanbu> Help needed, I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 in my machine with 100 mb for /boot(pri) and 100gb for /(logical) and 2gb for swap with a 50gb freespace and now when i boot inot my system the GRUB doesn't get detected and shows error
[04:08] <VousDeux> can someone tell me how much space each of the directories in the / context is  consuming?
[04:08] <bruenig> fujin_, weird
[04:09] <fujin_> yes, well. any suggestions?
[04:09] <anandanbu> This is my fdisk output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37067/
[04:09] <nugget93> jengerer: is there a way to confirm everything is correct b4 i install?
[04:09] <fujin_> even debian has one, I'm not sure why ubuntu hasn't bothered to be honest
[04:10] <LOWLUX> IDE Ultra ATA100(32)IDE Ultra ATA133 are they the same hard drives?

[04:10] <d4rkmonkey> Anyone here own an xbox360 and has music streaming to it from a Ubuntu server edition?
[04:10] <LOWLUX> would Ultra ATA133 work on a older computer?
[04:10] <ubotu> Package/file /etc/init.d/iptables does not exist in feisty
[04:10] <Jengerer> nugget93: Hmm... considering that you selected Use the Largest Continuous Free Space is kind of a failsafe, because that means it'll only use an empty partition.
[04:10] <bruenig> fujin_, that's a hell of a question, I am not on ubuntu but that is really bizarre
[04:11] <JamesCarr> what is the package for the syntax hilighter for vim?
[04:11] <bruenig> !find vim
[04:11] <ubotu> Found: jvim-canna, jvim-doc, vim-latexsuite, vim-scripts, vim-vimoutliner (and 15 others)
[04:11] <anandanbu> VousDeux: whats that for
[04:11] <fujin_> JamesCarr, install package 'vim' instead of 'vim-tiny', and then do :syntax on

[04:12] <qazwsx> is there a way in X/Gnome/Kde to make my window be 12800 x 10240 pixels? (I.e. my monitor is only 1280x1024, so I will have to move around to see the entire screen; but I want apps to think that I am 12800 x 10240 pixels) (i.e. when I move around, my windows pans; and apps thinkgs that my monitor is 12800 x 10240 pixels)
[04:12] <VousDeux> anandanbu: what do you have installed in those partitions?
[04:13] <scrip> I've got a config script that says it needs the qt headers and libraries, but I've installed libqt4 and libqt4-dev
[04:13] <scrip> what next?
[04:13] <VousDeux> anandanbu: is /dev/sda1 /boot?
[04:14] <anandanbu> VousDeux: I have the first 100 mb for /boot and the next 100gb for / of ubuntu
[04:15] <Jengerer> nugget93: have you already started the setup?
[04:15] <anandanbu> VousDeux: Yes the /dev/sda1 is /boot only
[04:15] <VousDeux> anandanbu: and the other three partitions?
[04:15] <VousDeux> anandanbu: well...other two...swap is obvious
[04:15] <liu> hi
[04:16] <VousDeux> does /boot need 100MB, or would something more like 30MB suffice?
[04:16] <anandanbu> VousDeux: the /dev/sda2 is my Ubuntu and /dev/sda6 is freespace as i didn't mount anyhting in it and kept for installing debian4.0

[04:17] <anandanbu> VousDeux: But my problemis that when i boot into my system the GRUB doesn't get detected
[04:17] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to salvage files from a windows box.  Is there some way I can mass copy every .doc and .jpg to my own linux box by piping output from find and using ssh, but without having to type my password for every file?
[04:17] <anandanbu> VousDeux: But when i boot using a ubuntu cd and select boot from first hdd option it boots well into the system
[04:18] <Pelo> craigbass1976, can'T use gui ?
[04:18] <WojciechG> Hi everyone. I have a partition on ubuntu whose files have disappeared... They're there, but don't appear as hidden or anything, and the data isn't lost. Does anyone know how I can retrieve them?
[04:18] <VousDeux> anandanbu: oh, haha...I thought you posted your fdisk in response to my question
[04:18] <Pelo> craigbass1976, sudo cp /path/whatever/*
[04:18] <Random832> craigbass1976: looks like a job for tar
[04:18] <bruenig> craigbass1976, why not use find to move them all to the same place and then scp -R or tar it up
[04:19] <craigbass1976> Pelo, for some reason I can't access the ntfs partition as ubuntu, only as root on the livecd
[04:19] <Random832> you don't have to make a tar file - pipe tar over ssh
[04:19] <Random832> tar c | ssh otherhost tar x
[04:19] <Pelo> craigbass1976, can you access your ubuntu partition as well ?  just drag and drop
[04:19] <craigbass1976> Random832, but the files are not all in the same place.
[04:19] <Random832> you use the output from find as a file list for tar
[04:20] <craigbass1976> Pelo, no ubuntu partition.  It's a friend's xp box; I'm only using livecd because windows is stuck in perpetual reboot
[04:20] <Pelo> craigbass1976, what do you intend to save to ?
[04:20] <craigbass1976> Pelo, and no read access by anyone but root
[04:21] <craigbass1976> Pelo, dump it over to my box (it runs linux)
[04:21] <VousDeux> I'm trying to determine how much space I should allocate to /boot, /tmp, /usr, /home, /var, and maybe /opt if Ubuntu uses it. I can't seem to find a current document that discusses partitioning. I don't like to put everything in one partition.
[04:21] <Pelo> craigbass1976, open the terminal    gksu nautilus   that will give you the file manager as root
[04:22] <Pelo> VousDeux, why do you want to make so many partitions ? do you actualy need to do that ? I only hve 3  / ,   /swap and /home
[04:22] <craigbass1976> VousDeux, 100mb /boot couple gigs for /, 3-4 for /var and /usr, and all you can manage for /home.  Maybe more for /var/ and /usr, depending on how many apps you're going to install
[04:22] <JamesCarr> whats the command to see what is running on what ports?
[04:22] <Pelo> VousDeux, I put in 10 gig for / and I'm only using 3 atm
[04:23] <VousDeux> I like more partitions for security.
[04:23] <VousDeux> thanks craigbass1976
[04:23] <craigbass1976> VousDeux, / doesn't really fill up much if /var and /usr are on their own partitions.  As I said, a couple should do it
[04:23] <fulio> hi, was does it sometimes my wireless card works and it doesnt, example, like it would sometimes connect wireless and sometimes it wont why does it do that?
[04:24] <krammer> what is the quickest way to remove gaim in the terminal
[04:24] <craigbass1976> VousDeux, /var is going to fill up on a heavily trafficked web/database server
[04:24] <craigbass1976> krammer, sudo apt-get remove gaim?
[04:24] <JamesCarr> whats the command to see what is running on what ports?
[04:24] <Pelo> fulio,  I thin kyou need to rephrase your question
[04:24] <paladin_1991> how long should ubuntu 7 take to install on a comp with a pentium d dualcore 2.8ghz cpu and 1gb of ram?
[04:24] <craigbass1976> fulio, do you have a dlink router?  THat's what my problem is
[04:24] <Frogzoo> VousDeux: might be easier to just use 15gig for /, & the rest /home depending
[04:24] <VousDeux> I plan to run LAMP development on this box
[04:24] <Pelo> paladin_1991, 30 min ?
[04:25] <Flannel> paladin_1991: Are you using the alternate CD with LVM?
[04:25] <PKdoR> id say about 15-20minutes
[04:25] <orion> JamesCarr, try netstat -a
[04:25] <krammer> thanx craig
[04:25] <PKdoR> no im using the desop cd
[04:25] <craigbass1976> krammer, be careful it doesn't start removing stuff you didn't want though; pay attention
[04:25] <Frogzoo> VousDeux: apache/mysql put content in /var - & really ought to be a separate partition/disk/striped raid set..
[04:26] <craigbass1976> VousDeux, are you registered?  I sent a pm
[04:26] <krammer> craig: do u know how to install jva jr 6 iv downloaded
[04:26] <Pici> !java
[04:26] <craigbass1976> krammer, jre?
[04:26] <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
[04:26] <krammer> yes
[04:26] <VousDeux> craigbass1976: I got your message and replied. not registered.
[04:26] <FFForever> can i block wine from accessing the Internet
[04:26] <Pelo> krammer, you can install java6 from the repos no need to dl anything, you just ahve to enalbe backport in the repos
[04:26] <fulio> why doesnt my wiresless card work.
[04:26] <krammer> newbie
[04:27] <Pelo> FFForever, you need to ask in #wine
[04:27] <Pelo> FFForever, I mean #winehq
[04:27] <FFForever> they said no :(
[04:27] <FFForever> i was hoping there was an ubuntu only solution

[04:27] <Flannel> jordan_: #ubuntu+1 for gutsy support, thanks

[04:27] <JamesCarr> orion, thanks
[04:27] <JamesCarr> sorry
[04:27] <craigbass1976> VousDeux, you have im?
[04:27] <Flannel> jordan_: netstat
[04:27] <JamesCarr> didnt see your response till now
[04:28] <Flannel> JamesCarr:
[04:28] <FFForever> is there a 3rd generation firewall?, (a software level firewall.........)????
[04:28] <craigbass1976> FFForever, iptables?
[04:28] <PKdoR> any body here has succesfully configured the Back/forward mouse buttons?
[04:28] <FFForever> craigbass1976, iptables is port/ip not program
[04:28] <FFForever> iptables is a second gen firewall
[04:28] <craigbass1976> Ahh.  My bad
[04:29] <Frogzoo> FFForever: iptables is extremely sophisticated
[04:29] <Pelo> later folks
[04:29] <krammer> bye
[04:29] <Frogzoo> iptables does everything firewalls do & then some
[04:29] <VousDeux> craigbass1976: no IM...I don't usually spend much time on chat
[04:29] <FFForever> Frogzoo, u know a way for me to only block wine?
[04:29] <craigbass1976> FFForever, THere's one I ran in Solaris once.  Ipfilter; it may be the same idea as iptables though
[04:29] <craigbass1976> FFForever, is WINE trying to get out on the network by itself?
[04:30] <craigbass1976> VousDeux, ok.  well, just remember that /var (especially--logs are there) and /usr might get big on a LAMP box
[04:30] <FFForever> no my game is....
[04:30] <craigbass1976> FFForever, Iptables should be able to do that.
[04:30] <FFForever> how?
[04:31] <craigbass1976> FFForever, I don't know; I'm always trying to keep people out, not in.
[04:31] <yimmmy> whats up dudes
[04:31] <craigbass1976> FFForever, I block everything except x, x, and x, etc
[04:31] <yimmmy> havent been around in a while
[04:31] <FFForever> i like keeping people in :)
[04:31] <Frogzoo> FFForever: if you run wine as a different user, you can block by owner
[04:31] <FFForever> hmmm, Frogzoo how can i do that?
[04:32] <WojciechG> OK! turns out the partition just disappeared -- not loading in Ubuntu, but when I put in the GParted LiveCD my partition appears (though I can't mount it). Does anyone know how I can copy its contents?
[04:32] <maxd> #compiz-fusion

[04:49] <biggahed> hello there. im trying to configure a 22inches lcd panel and i just got the 1680X1050 res working. But ive got some screen missing. Its like 4 or 5cm to the right and i cant use the monitors panel to bring it more to the right. Any ideas?

[04:51] <jarjarbinks> how do i edit sources.lst, did it before, forgot
[04:51] <PKdoR> so i can make the back anf forwar buttons work on the file browser?
[04:51] <biggahed> Jack_Sparrow, i did. but then i got the screen to like 30cm to the left
[04:51] <Jack_Sparrow> jarjarbinks: gksudo gedit  /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:51] <JeevesMoss> ??
[04:52] <PKdoR> my original question was "how to get the back and forward mouse buttons work on the file browser?"
[04:52] <Jack_Sparrow> jarjarbinks: Or sudo nano from cli
[04:52] <Frogzoo> PKdoR: not sure you can
[04:52] <ckin2001> JeevesMoss, did you install the php5-mysql module?
[04:52] <bruenig> PKdoR, you need to figure out what the keyboard shortcut is for that and then bind those buttons to that shortcut
[04:52] <KevinOman> anyone know what my prefix means?
[04:52] <PKdoR> but i kind of watered it down to whats my file browser
[04:52] <bruenig> KevinOman, you compiling?
[04:52] <scythetleppo> I have windows xp installed on hard drive 2 and ubuntu installed on hard drive 1. what do I have to do to my grub to set it up to choose when I boot?
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> scythetleppo: which did you install first
[04:53] <PKdoR> its alt+back or forward arrows
[04:53] <Grungebunny> scythetleppo it should do it itself..
[04:53] <KevinOman> bruenig: I believe so
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub

[04:53] <KevinOman> bruenig: I am running the command python setup.py install --prefix=yourprefix
[04:53] <scythetleppo> i installed ubuntu then xp
[04:53] <JeevesMoss> ckin2001:  yes I did.  if you want to look @ the output from the PHP script, it's W www.penn-tawsha.net/test.php
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> scythetleppo: See the link lost grub after installing windows
[04:53] <bruenig> KevinOman, yeah, well you know how linux applications are split into lib bin share sbin and so forth?
[04:54] <KevinOman> yes
[04:54] <scythetleppo> thanks
[04:54] <orion> jarjarbinks, I think Nvu is now called KompoZer...try searching the repos for that.
[04:54] <bruenig> KevinOman, the prefix is the directory containing those, so if you do --prefix=/usr, it will install all the stuff in /usr/lib /usr/bin /usr/share /usr/sbin and so forth
[04:54] <biggahed> Jack_Sparrow, fixed.. i had setted the screen to 1650x1050 by hand. i had to use auto to make it work. Thanks anyway
[04:54] <bruenig> KevinOman, or /usr/local will do /usr/local/lib and so forth
[04:54] <scythetleppo> jarjarbinks: kompozer.net
[04:55] <cld2> is it possible to get the messages that scroll buy during boot? after the kernel takes over before the login? dmesg is not showing the hardware errors I see. thanks.
[04:55] <KevinOman> ok, where do you recommend I install an app that will be used by other users of this machine?
[04:55] <xamox> what torrent client does everyone recommend?
[04:55] <bruenig> KevinOman, so long as it isn't in the home directory, it is fine, I think you are technically supposed to put it in /usr/local following the FHS
[04:56] <scythetleppo> KevinOman: deluge
[04:56] <xamox> I'm trying to use Azureus, as it has always been my client of choice, but for some reason it's bogging down and locking up
[04:56] <bruenig> filesystem hierarchy standard that is
[04:56] <scythetleppo> xamox: deluge
[04:56] <KevinOman> ok thanks bruenig
[04:56] <someone2005> any reason other then chipset not supported I would get a pci error ?
[04:56] <jarjarbinks> upgraded to fiesty fawn all repositories are breezy badger, way to change that
[04:56] <jarjarbinks> at least breezy badger list
[04:56] <Skrypt> When using git... do I have to install wine first through apt-get or is there a git install method too? or is that just building from the source and git just applies updates?
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !easysource | jarjarbinks
[04:57] <ubotu> jarjarbinks: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[04:57] <sang-kepaRAT> f4_jar
[04:57] <fatcatmatt> are there any other sites like getdeb.org?
[04:57] <jarjarbinks> try that
[04:57] <KevinOman> scythetleppo: what does a large downpour of rain have to do with my question?
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> fatcatmatt: always better to stick to the repos
[04:58] <fatcatmatt> where at, captain jack_sparrow?  lmao
[04:58] <bruenig> KevinOman, he was responding to xamox about bittorrent client
[04:58] <cld2> 
[04:58] <tim_> 'ello all
[04:58] <KevinOman> ok haha
[04:58] <Jack_Sparrow> fatcatmatt: USe synaptic or apt-get... especially if you are new to linux
[04:58] <fatcatmatt> fairly new, but been thru them
[04:58] <fatcatmatt> 2months of usage
[04:58] <jarjarbinks> what sources do i want?
[04:58] <bruenig> fatcatmatt, yeah if you get into getdeb stuff, you really kind of miss quite possibly the greatest thing about linux distros
[04:59] <fatcatmatt> yezzir, bruenig
[04:59] <jarjarbinks> just the first 2 ubuntu?
[04:59] <josiah> I believe I added my wireless drivers to the blacklist using this: echo "blacklist drivername.inf" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[04:59] <josiah> how do I remove it from the list?
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> g'night all... Play nice
[04:59] <meezyfuh> great. k3b says my lappy doesn't have a cd burner. darn.
[04:59] <bruenig> josiah, did you literally put drivername.inf?
[04:59] <cld2> josiah: vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and # comment out the line or delete it
[05:00] <cld2> josiah: also, you dont need the .inf just the module name
[05:00] <meezyfuh> is there any way to freshly install ubuntu while i'm running it?
[05:00] <meezyfuh> like, if i have an iso
[05:00] <bruenig> !debootstrap
[05:00] <ubotu> debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into.
[05:00] <vader1102> meezyfuh, ummmmmmm live cd?
[05:00] <josiah> bruenig: lol no i didnt put drivername.inf
[05:00] <foug> mzuverink_: you there?
[05:00] <someone2005> one of a few upgrades needed...think repos fine though...
[05:00] <bruenig> josiah, well for the sed method or removal, we need the actual name
[05:00] <booster_> hey guys can anyone help a noob out with installing zinc ??? its a chat client to use with yahoo
[05:00] <mzuverink_> foug, kinda, whats up?
[05:00] <bruenig> of*
[05:00] <meezyfuh> vader1102: ya but i dont think i have a burner. well actually maybe i disabled it in setup, hold on
[05:01] <foug> mzuverink_: my ipod stopped working, Could not open "iTunesDB.ext" for reading extended info.
[05:01] <foug> Extended info will not be used.
[05:01] <foug> iPod Database Import Failed: 'Failed to read from file '/media/FOUG'S IPOD/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB': Input/output error'
[05:01] <foug> mzuverink_: i get that error
[05:01] <foug> sorry guys for the flood
[05:01] <mzuverink_> foug, your are going to have to redo the db in gtkpod, make the filesystem
[05:01] <josiah> bruenig:
[05:02] <foug> mzuverink_: i have no idea what that mean's
[05:02] <foug> mzuverink_: when i try to load it, that's the error i get. I can't load my ipod
[05:02] <bruenig> josiah, sed '/drivername.inf/d' -i whateverblacklist
[05:03] <josiah> bruenig: cant remember the name... i added it to the list last night and then removed it. once i removed it everything worked fine for my wireless however today (after a reboot) im not getting a wireless connection again. I thought it might have not saved when I removed it from the blacklist but it looks like its not there any longer. Any ideas?
[05:03] <mzuverink_> foug, in gtkpod, under the file menu, create ipod directories, or you could try to check them first, its the option below create
[05:04] <foug> mzuverink_: both options tell me to load it first
[05:04] <mzuverink_> foug, what happens if you load the ipod?
[05:04] <mzuverink_> foug, errors, the one you mentioned?
[05:04] <foug> mzuverink_: i get the error i pasted earlier
[05:06] <mzuverink_> foug, not sure then what to do next, never had that much trouble w/ my ipod....
[05:06] <foug> mzuverink_: figures
[05:06] <Asuka> how do I remove something I installed using wine?
[05:06] <foug> Asuka: wine installer in terminal i think
[05:07] <Asuka> what do i have to type in to do so?
[05:07] <foug> Asuka: wine installer
[05:08] <foug> Asuka: or "wine uninstaller"
[05:08] <Asuka> thx
[05:09] <LeilaSharon> Random832, anyone? I am very new to linux, my new instalation of Ubuntu freezes frequently, especially when I use editing programs.  How can I pinpoint the problem?
[05:09] <luckyone_> can you help me with my bluetooth setup?
[05:09] <matt3453> i keep getting a message that my $HOME/.dmcr file is being ignored, and that my home directory must be writable by user and nobody else... i've tried 'chmod 644 matt' but no luck, can anyone help me out?
[05:09] <josiah> I dont even see eth2 listed in ifconfig anymore
[05:09] <luckyone_> I can't seem to pair with my phone
[05:09] <Asuka> @LeilaSharon: are you running off a live distro?
[05:09] <Random832> no idea
[05:09] <meezyfuh> ok, i checked in my bios setup and my dvd drive is also a cd-rw. yet k3b is not detecting a cd-writer on my system. any ideas what could be causing this, and any idea of a solution?
[05:09] <TheMafia> If I restart, gdm will come up, if I cold boot it will not and require me to boot to recovery console, startx as the user, then soft restart again?
[05:09] <Asuka> like, are you using the live cd?
[05:09] <nickrud> matt3453: try chmod 644 ~/.dmrc
[05:09] <Asuka> or have you already installed it?
[05:10] <LeilaSharon> Asuka: no, I installed to harddrive
[05:10] <Asuka> hmmm, I don't know then. My ubuntu use to freeze up too, but once I installed it, it stopped
[05:10] <nickrud> matt3453: argh, wrong thinking ;)   sudo chmod 644 /home/matt
[05:11] <matt3453> nickrud: i tried that, still no luck
[05:11] <nickrud> matt3453: then sudo chown matt:matt /home/matt
[05:12] <matt3453> nickrud: ok, lemme try that, and log out and back in, see what happens :)
[05:12] <nickrud> matt3453: a couple more, just for luck:
[05:12] <meezyfuh> anyone what would cause my cd-rw not to be detected as a write-able device?
[05:12] <meezyfuh> anyone know*
[05:12] <nickrud> matt3453:   sudo chown matt:matt /home/matt/.dmrc       and    chmod 600 /home/matt/.dmrc
[05:13] <xamox> scythetleppo, awesome, thanks man, deluge looks pretty nice, never heard of it before
[05:13] <matt3453> nickrud: nope, no luck.... still getting this message...
[05:13] <matt3453> bah, nevermind, clipboard didnt carry over from the login screen
[05:13] <LeilaSharon> Asuka: no, it is installed on the harddrive. Thanks for trying.
[05:14] <nickrud> matt3453: you might have missed the last couple just above
 matt3453:   sudo chown matt:matt /home/matt/.dmrc       and    chmod 600 /home/matt/.dmrc
[05:14] <matt3453> thanks meezyfuh, lemme give that a wirl
[05:14] <meezyfuh> thank nickrud he said it first! :)
[05:15] <matt3453> btw, any idea what caused this?
[05:15] <nickrud> ah, meezyfuh but you realized it might not be on his screen still ;)
[05:15] <meezyfuh> ;)
[05:16] <meezyfuh> nickrud do you have any idea what would cause my cd-rw drive not be detected as being 'write able'?
[05:16] <TheMafia> so gdm will not start from runlevel 5, only run level 3?
[05:16] <meezyfuh> i just checked my bios setup and it says it's a cd-rw.
[05:16] <FreeDance> g'day guys
[05:16] <nickrud> meezyfuh: I'd look through dmesg, early on it should be recognized as something. There might be a clue there
[05:16] <Jengerer> G'night here for me.
[05:16] <Jengerer> ;)
[05:16] <nickrud> night, Jengerer
[05:16] <FreeDance> hey can anyone tell me how to gain super user permissions to install java?
[05:16] <meezyfuh> nickrud: whoa, any idea what to grep for?
[05:17] <josiah> My wireless nic wmp54gs which is on eth2 is no longer showing up in ifconfig. could someone help me out with this?
[05:17] <fatcatmatt> whats the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu?
[05:17] <Jengerer> FreeDance: you mean sudo? OxO
[05:17] <arang2> guys anyone could recommend me a good webpage/blog anything where to read linux news about different things, any favorites?
[05:17] <josiah> fatcatmatt: ubuntu uses gnome and kubuntu uses kde
[05:18] <fatcatmatt> what's the difference betweek kde and gnome then, josiah?
[05:18] <FreeDance> umm do i?
[05:18] <ambrose_> go to examples in in home
[05:18] <ambrose_> that will answer ur question
[05:18] <meezyfuh> there are a bunch of errors under sr0, like ioctl error
[05:19] <FreeDance> i just need to install java and the install instructions say to get your self some super user privileges or something like that
[05:19] <TheMafia> How can I see what is being done during boot instead of the ubuntu bar going across the screen?
[05:19] <josiah> fatcatmatt: lol. different gui's for linux.
[05:19] <fatcatmatt> ahh, what's the one that's totally menus?  ill send u a pic example josiah
[05:20] <it-linux> dear all, how to install a program which have *.run? Thanks
[05:20] <Rictoo> if I do apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, and then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to reinstall gnome, that won't like remember my home folder, right?
[05:20] <meezyfuh> how do i paste without getting booted for spamming?
[05:20] <meezyfuh> isn't there a bot or website for that
[05:20] <nickrud> meezyfuh: I take that back, the disks are being handled by hal now.
[05:20] <Rictoo> remove*

[05:22] <rafaelscj> hi
[05:22] <josiah> fatcatmatt: its a big pain in the butt man. I would just get kubuntu if i were you. it comes with it installed and configured
[05:22] <matt3453> ok guys, still no luck
[05:22] <Jengerer> vader1102 left the room (quit: "Leaving Ububtu Rox"). Ububtu, haha. Sounds like a nickname for a Ubuntu Beta distro.

[05:23] <ubotu> rafaelscj: mdf2iso: A simple utility to convert mdf to iso / cue / toc images. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.0-0ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 6 kB, installed size 60 kB
[05:23] <meezyfuh> any ideas? anyone?
[05:23] <ckin2001> josiah, isnt it just sudo apt-get install kde?
[05:23] <meezyfuh> i *really* need to burn a cd.
[05:23] <Kasuko> Hello, I am trying to use Audacity to capture what would be played on my speakers to a file. But when I do I seem to be recording from a mic, I can even hear my self ... big issue I dont have a mic.
[05:23] <arang2> nickrud: thanks, anything more flashy web 2.0 alike  ?
[05:24] <nickrud> arang2: they tend to avoid that stuff, too frilly :)
[05:24] <rafaelscj> chief, I don't want to burn, just extract, can I?
[05:24] <nickrud> meezyfuh: you have a plexor?
[05:24] <nickrud> *plextor
[05:24] <josiah> ckin2001: I dont know if ubuntu will do that. Never tried to run both gnome and kde on ubuntu
[05:24] <meezyfuh> nickrud: no it's a toshiba, comes with my dell lappy. and bios says its dvd-rom cdrw
[05:24] <it-linux> thanks jengerer
[05:24] <Jengerer> Kasuko: You sure you don't have a built in mic somewhere?
[05:24] <matt3453> ok so i'm still getting a message that my $HOME/.dmcr file is being ignored, and something about my home directory should be 644, which it is
[05:24] <chief> rafaelscj: not natively, use mdf2iso to convert the MDF to an ISO file, then you can extract/mount it
[05:24] <ckin2001> josiah, its easy - you can pick your session before you log in
[05:24] <Jengerer> it-linux: NP
[05:25] <matt3453> i'm not sure whats going on
[05:25] <cesarandreu> hi
[05:25] <Radon> hi all
[05:25] <arang2> nickrud: oh well, c'est la vie
[05:25] <rafaelscj> chief, okay, so, how do I to mount a ISO file?
[05:25] <cesarandreu> ok, dumb question... I can't find how it works though... How would I enable emerald?
[05:25] <chief> !iso | rafaelscj
[05:25] <ubotu> rafaelscj: 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.
[05:25] <josiah> ckin2001: and ubuntu lets you install kde? just by using apt-get?
[05:26] <ckin2001> josiah, yes
[05:26] <rafaelscj> chief, thanks
[05:26] <nickrud> arang2: there's also planet.ubuntu.com planet.gnome.org and planet.debian.org rss feeds; makes good reading
[05:26] <FreeDance> hey has anyone here used a JDK?
[05:26] <chief> arang2: fsdaily.com is like Digg but for Linux/FOSS news only
[05:26] <josiah> ckin2001: thats cool
[05:27] <TheMafia> How ironic is this, I turned off splash and quiet to try to see what was causing my machine to lock up, and after doing so it never locks up anymore
[05:27] <ckin2001> josiah, you can do the same thing with any window manager :D
[05:27] <arang2> nickrud: i was wondering something like engadget for linux , (hope thats meaningful)
[05:27] <Jengerer> How would I tell my GRUB to point to a Kernel that I recompiled as a BZImage?
[05:27] <LeilaSharon> I am new to linux. I need this box for programming in c++, but emacs, nedit, gedit all freeze my system. Can anyone point me to a good source for help?
[05:27] <LadyNikon> LeilaSharon: vi?
[05:28] <riotkittie> editors freeze your system?
[05:28] <josiah> ckin2001: well i knew that about any other distro but i didnt think ubuntu would allow it unless you added repos
[05:28] <LeilaSharon> riotkittie: yes, it seems strange to me to.
[05:28] <meezyfuh> please! someone help me find out why my cdrw is not being recognized as an optical writing device!
[05:29] <kRush> anyone got an idea why ntpd fails to bind to ppp0 on boot? works fine if restartet manually once logged in =/
[05:30] <nickrud> arang2: linuxdevices.com , http://linuxhardware.org/ , http://tuxmobil.org/ http://www.linuxtoys.net/ http://www.linuxtoys.org/ http://www.linuxtoys.com/
[05:30] <meezyfuh> i give up.
[05:31] <LeilaSharon> LadyNikon: I haven't tried vi yet, but I would hope to figure out why emacs, nedit, and gedit freeze the system.
[05:31] <riotkittie> argh. i am so peeved. i bought a new usb adapter because it uses a chipset that is supposed to be awesome and work out of the box. with wpa even.
[05:31] <nickrud> meezyfuh: I put that into google (part of it and ran across a lot of ubuntu bugs , so far none seem resolved: I googledCDROM (ioctl) error, command: <6>Test Unit Ready
[05:31] <LadyNikon> LeilaSharon: sorry wish i knew.
[05:31] <LeilaSharon> emacs freezes everytime, almost immediately
[05:31] <LadyNikon> LeilaSharon: does it freeze the app? or the entire system?
[05:31] <riotkittie> now i'm just going to buy some dynamite and blow it up :|
[05:32] <Frogzoo> riotkittie: they changed the chipset?
[05:32] <LeilaSharon> It freezes the entire system.
[05:32] <riotkittie> Frogzoo: no, its the right chipset :P  i researched my revisions
[05:32] <josiah> So anybody have experience with a Broadcom BCM4318 chipset wireless nic?
[05:32] <riotkittie> ralink <3  but its not working.
[05:32] <someone2005> of supported chipsets ?
[05:32] <Frogzoo> josiah: all the broadcom stuff seems hugely troublesome
[05:32] <Asuka> sorry, what do I do to uninstall a program in wine?
[05:33] <Asuka> wine uninstall?
[05:33] <Kr00lplatinum> When will the game companies create games that work for linux?!
[05:33] <Frogzoo> Asuka: run the uninst
[05:33] <josiah> Frogzoo: it is lol
[05:33] <riotkittie> the game companies will create games that work for linux when linux gamers give them reason to.
[05:33] <ckin2001> Kr00lplatinum, they do
[05:33] <maxd> #compiz-fusion
[05:33] <someone2005> Thought they created them already...
[05:33] <Asuka> its says module not found
[05:33] <jstarcher> if I can run the live cd on a computer, does it guarantee that ubuntu will work with that computer?
[05:33] <Frogzoo> riotkittie: you mean like quake?
[05:34] <Asuka> i typed 'wine uninstall
[05:34] <riotkittie> jstarcher: pretty much, though you may need to tweak things
[05:34] <Kr00lplatinum> not anything good like BF2 or Company of Heroes
[05:34] <LeilaSharon> I cannot use my computer for text editing, but internet chat seems totally reliable!
[05:34] <riotkittie> Frogzoo: no, not like Quake.
[05:34] <wweasel> Hello: I'd like to configure two mice separately in xorg.conf - Is it ok to simply refer to them as /dev/mouse1 and /dev/mouse2, or is this dynamic and subject to change? Furthermore, how will the system react if one is unplugged?
[05:34] <HeatHawk[LI] > Anyone know how to setup wpa_supplicant for wep?
[05:35] <someone2005> like ps3 ?
[05:35] <Asuka> what do i type in order to uninstall something in wine?
[05:35] <Asuka> wine uninstall?
[05:35] <HeatHawk[LI] > Do i just make another network entry in the config and use wep instead of wpa
[05:35] <riotkittie> the best way to get them to start making a wider range of games for linux is to stop buying games for windows :x
[05:36] <riotkittie> if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go douse my latest USB wifi adapter in gasoline and alcohol and set it aflame.  or maybe i'll go google.
[05:37] <HeatHawk[LI] > riotkittie, you try ndiswrapper?
[05:37] <kRush> anyone got an idea why ntpd fails to bind to ppp0 on boot? works fine if restartet manually once logged in =/
[05:37] <Ta1> I'm having a sharing problem.. I've been able to share all my partitions across the LAN except 1.. it is a single partition covering an entire drive.  When I try to view it from another computer, it says it can't find it, maybe it has been recently deleted.
[05:38] <riotkittie> HeatHawk[LI] : no, i havent tried ndiswrapper. when i want to use Windows drivers, i'll boot into XP :P
[05:38] <Frogzoo> kRush: I'd guess cos pppd's not up when you're starting it
[05:39] <riotkittie> ho hum. i sense compiling in my near future
[05:39] <Kasuko> Hello, I am trying to use Audacity to capture what would be played on my speakers to a file. But when I do I seem to be recording from a mic, I can even hear my self ... big issue I dont have a mic. I'm using a laptop so their may be a hidden one on my mobo but not to my knowledge. Can anyone help me get just the sound?
[05:39] <LeilaSharon> How are your experiences with Feisty Fawn- do you find that it is stable?
[05:39] <nickrud> Kasuko: now there is a scary thought, hidden mic's on the motherboard
[05:39] <LadyNikon> heh
[05:39] <HeatHawk[LI] > riotkittie, still new to linux eh? sometimes one needs to make compromises to use their favourite os :P
[05:40] <LadyNikon> must be a sony mobo <snicker>
[05:40] <Frogzoo> LeilaSharon: desktop's not quite totally rock solid but pretty good
[05:40] <kRush> Frogzoo, that my guess too, but I'm literally lost in all the init scripts and networking stuff...
[05:40] <FreeDance> hey does anyone know how to get started in making java games?
[05:40] <nickrud> :):):)
[05:40] <kRush> got an idea how to fix properly?
[05:40] <HeatHawk[LI] > FreeDance, buy a java programming book
[05:40] <riotkittie> HeatHawk[LI] : the fact that i have no urge to use ndiswrapper does not make me one who is new to linux. it makes me somebody who has no desire to use windows drivers under another OS, as i find it utterly ridiculous to have to do so
[05:40] <fatcatmatt> alrighty josiah, im burning and installing kubuntu
[05:40] <FreeDance> lol
[05:41] <FreeDance> what about a program?
[05:41] <Kasuko> yes scary but I dont care about that ... big brother's watching... but I just want my not crappy recording
[05:41] <LadyNikon> riotkittie: blame the company who created the hardware.
[05:41] <HeatHawk[LI] > FreeDance, I'd bet its the same book. :p
[05:41] <riotkittie> and no, i'm not new to linux. i've been using it since 2003, and i started with slackware. so pffft.
[05:41] <LeilaSharon> FrogZoo: I am wondering if my freez-ups could be fixed by installing an older distro.  This is my first linux system- two days old
[05:41] <Chuck_Moto> does anyone remember how to ssh into another server from within vim?
[05:41] <FreeDance> can i get a program off the net?
[05:41] <Ta1> Anybody good with sharing problems?
[05:42] <Chuck_Moto> I would check, but I'm stuck in cli right now :X
[05:42] <riotkittie> LadyNikon: no need to blame them.  they've got a linux driver. and it's a linux friendly chipset :P
[05:42] <HeatHawk[LI] > riotkittie, haha, thats very, um, non impressive, at any rate, I wouldn't push ndiswrapper out the window, its much less absurd then you might think
[05:42] <LadyNikon> riotkittie: whey are you using ndiswrapper?
[05:42] <Sau1> hi there
[05:42] <LadyNikon> or did I miss something
[05:43] <LadyNikon> hi Sau1
[05:43] <Sau1> i have a question
[05:43] <Sau1> ...obviously :p
[05:43] <LadyNikon> someone has an answer
[05:43] <Sau1> thanks in advance! here it goes
[05:43] <nickrud> kRush: there should be something in /etc/network/ifup-d for ntpd ;
[05:43] <teKnofreak> but for the answer, the question needs to be asked :P
[05:43] <HeatHawk[LI] > FreeDance, The thing about Java, much like other languages, wether its games or apps, its still java. You need to learn java before attempting a project. Perhaps even some web tutorials will put you in the right direction
[05:44] <shifty-> is there a package for openbox and how do i add it as a session?
[05:44] <Sau1> well i have constant system hangups. when i check dmesg it says that my cdrom (hdb) is "not ready for command" . after some seconds, perhaps 10 or 15 it just slows down until death
[05:44] <Sau1> sorry for my english i am not native speaker
[05:44] <FreeDance> ok cool thanks but....this may sound stupid but where do you type the script?
[05:44] <riotkittie> HeatHawk[LI] : it wasnt about impressing you, it was about replying to your statement that i must be new to linux b/c i had no urge to take your suggestion. and i never said that ndiswrapper was absurd, i said *i* didnt care to use it.
[05:45] <Kasuko> How can I record what should play on my speakers to a file?
[05:45] <nickrud> shifty-: sudo aptitude install openbox ; it will appear in the sessions automatically
[05:45] <Marfi> hey hey, what is a good diagnostic program for recovering formated data from a hard drive? =)
[05:45] <Sau1> how can i tell if its a bug or a bad cdrom drive
[05:45] <Sau1> someone?
[05:45] <teKnofreak> Sau1, put another CD ROM and check
[05:45] <FreeDance> me?
[05:46] <Sau1> ok you mean changin the cdrom device
[05:46] <teKnofreak> yes
[05:46] <FreeDance> kk
[05:46] <modor> Hello,  I'm looking to duplicate a setup I had in XP, capturing internet radio station to a memory stick
[05:46] <Sau1> ok
[05:46] <seyfarth> i need some major help installing ubuntu, i can't even get the live cd to boot. after it starts loading, x window crashes. the cd worked fine on my desktop at hoem, but i just got to college and this is a problem all the laptops are having. the guys at the school support desk wanted me to change a Horizsync and vertrefresh value in 'xorg.conf' but i'm not exactly sure how to do that... can anyone help me?
[05:46] <FreeDance> wheres that?
[05:46] <HeatHawk[LI] > riotkittie, well, good luck sticking to gnu
[05:47] <Sau1> well actually i think it is the cdrom drive because i used to have another... the guys at the service changed it perhaps
[05:47] <teKnofreak> Sau1, if it still tells the same error, then something is wrong, else time to change your CDROM
[05:47] <nickrud> !fixres | seyfarth link at the end tells you how to change the syncs
[05:47] <ubotu> seyfarth link at the end tells you how to change the syncs: 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
[05:47] <Ta1> I am trying to change the permissions of an entire hard disk... when I attempt to change it, even as root it just changes right back.. any ideas?
[05:47] <seyfarth> nuckrud: thank you so much!
[05:47] <Sau1> tknofreak you may be correct. with my old cdrom i didnt had those messages
[05:47] <chief> !info streamripper | modor
[05:47] <ubotu> modor: streamripper: download online streams into audio files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.61.27-1 (feisty), package size 69 kB, installed size 188 kB
[05:47] <nickrud> Ta1: you can only change permissions on a partition, not a drive
[05:48] <Sau1> so , how should i tell to the guys at the service that the "new" cdrom drive they put just messed my system
[05:48] <Sau1> ... maybe i should just tell them what i have said :p
[05:48] <teKnofreak> Sau1, first make sure its *the CDROM*
[05:49] <teKnofreak> Sau1, of course
[05:49] <Sau1> YEAH!! it is im almost shure
[05:49] <modor> ubotu, thank you, can these streams be designated to capture to memory card as an mp3 file?
[05:49] <Sau1> another thing
[05:49] <Sau1> sometimes when i get the error, it appears the "audio cd" icon in the desktop
[05:49] <chief> modor: ubotu's a bot ;-), and yes, I would imagine so
[05:49] <teKnofreak> modor, ubotu's knowledge is vast but yet limited, do not ask him questions
[05:49] <Sau1> despite the fact i dont have any cd on the drive
[05:49] <Ta1> nickrud: any idea why the permissions on one drive would be any different than another?  I formatted both drives with the same user, but one of the drives is only accessable to THAT specific user.  Any other user including root can't access it.. i'm trying to share it on the network and it won't let me because the permissions are drwx------
[05:50] <nickrud> Ta1: what kind of partition is it?
[05:50] <logreeval> Hi, i am having some problems with IEs4linux and ActiveX controls, does anyone know about ies4linux?
[05:50] <Ta1> nickrud: fat32
[05:50] <teKnofreak> logreeval, tell your problem
[05:50] <nickrud> Ta1: ah. you can't write permissions to a fat32, you have to mount them with the permissions you want.
[05:50] <teKnofreak> if someone knows, they will answer
[05:51] <logreeval> Well it says my security prohibits active x controls, but i have it to allow everything
[05:51] <nickrud> Ta1: one sec
[05:51] <Sau1> so what do you think
[05:51] <teKnofreak> logreeval, check the permissions, there will be a check box or something to allow or undeny activex
[05:51] <teKnofreak> Sau1, boot into a live CD and check it
[05:51] <matt3453> for some reason, i cannot play mp3's, i've installed the 'ubuntu restricted codecs' package, and the 'win32codecs' package.... still nothing
[05:51] <modor> sorry, i have a little lag, so getting this in bunches
[05:52] <teKnofreak> matt3453, using Feisty ?
[05:52] <matt3453> 7.04
[05:52] <Sau1> so, if the live cd acts as usual it is not the cdrom problem
[05:52] <LeilaSharon> Anyone know how to use a text editor in CLI mode enstead of GUI?
[05:52] <logreeval> teKnofreak: i have everything set to allow the activex
[05:52] <fujin_> LeilaSharon, 'vi'
[05:52] <teKnofreak> matt3453, when you try to open it in rythmbox, doesn't it ask you to automatically download some codecs ?
[05:52] <nickrud> Ta1: /dev/hda7 /vfat vfat defaults,utf8,umask=000,gid=46 0 1 <- put a line similar to this in your /etc/fstab , with the dev corrected for yours. Then everyone can read it
[05:53] <LeilaSharon> fujin, did you find 'vi' works better with Ubuntu?
[05:53] <fujin_> uh
[05:53] <Sau1> but something strange happened las time i tried to boot. i checked the bios, and guess what, it did not detect the cdrom!!!
[05:53] <matt3453> teKnofreak: it was opening with movieplayer by default, lemme try :)
[05:53] <fujin_> vi is The Only Editor
[05:53] <teKnofreak> matt3453, AFAIK you need not manually d/l it, when you try to open it in the player, it is automatically done for you
[05:53] <Sau1> whta do you think!
[05:53] <teKnofreak> Sau1, time to get some hardware support ;)
[05:53] <nickrud> Ta1: the reason for this is vfat32 does not have a permission system in the first place
[05:54] <Sau1> ok so its justified calling the acer guys
[05:54] <teKnofreak> Sau1, when you have a problem don't think twice to call them, thats what for they exist
[05:54] <matt3453> teKnofreak: ok, looks like its working in rythmbox, why not my other playres?
[05:54] <matt3453> players
[05:55] <teKnofreak> matt3453, probably should
[05:55] <Sau1> hahaha thats right but i hate being laptop-less a week :P
[05:55] <josiah> well i guess im just going to have to get damned suse
[05:55] <cdm10> Are there any GUI DjVu generators?
[05:55] <Sau1> ah i forgot to tell you, but i live in Mexico, here we have SLOOOOOOOW service
[05:55] <teKnofreak> matt3453, other players as in - amarok, banshee ?
[05:55] <matt3453> i prefer VLC usually since its small
[05:56] <teKnofreak> matt3453, try it in banshee for once
[05:56] <Ta1> nickrud: thanks
[05:56] <brownie17> hi #ubuntu, when i try to launch a rom through KAMEFU, it tells me it couldn't communicate with klauncher and i can't navigate it to the rom file. also there's no way to direct it to the rom file via the CLI
[05:56] <matt3453> teKnofreak: its not installed, but i'll give it a shot
[05:56] <teKnofreak> matt3453, sure :)
[05:56] <Sau1> thanks guys
[05:56] <teKnofreak> Sau1, welcome :)
[05:56] <chief> cdm10: doesn't Evince open djvu files?
[05:57] <LeilaSharon> nidcrud, do you know about text editors? I am trying to figure out why emacs and nedit cause my system to freeze.   Emacs freezes it every time.
[05:57] <matt3453> ok, next item - no sound in flash in firefox
[05:58] <nickrud> LeilaSharon: nothing about why it would be freezing the system, except that maybe it's using it's usual amount of memory ;)
[05:58] <Sau1> im going out , thanks for all guys!
[05:58] <nickrud> LeilaSharon: I'd look for the common packages between all of the editors ; it's probably in one that they all use
[05:59] <matt3453> ok, next item - no sound in flash in firefox - can anyone tell me where i should look first?
[05:59] <echo_> I am in need of some help.   I tryed manualy installing the ov51x-jpeg driver on my system.  But it just shows up as a cut off green picture.  But aMSN seems to be alright with the webcam.  I have tryed the webcam on other machines with ubuntu and it worked.  I am stomped.  Please help me. :D
[05:59] <disinterested> what would i need to run to detect a new hd?
[05:59] <FFighter> man, I'm on these times when you actually perceive that Windows is crap
[06:00] <FFighter> I'm using Windows currently and I **really** miss Ubuntu
[06:00] <FFighter> the issue? Adobe Software (Photoshop CS2 and Flash CS3)
[06:00] <FFighter> :(
[06:00] <FFighter> I can't feel the freedom
[06:01] <echo_> I can't feel freedom on ubuntu
[06:01] <arsonx> FFighter: gimp + vim
[06:01] <disinterested> i used to feel it
[06:01] <nickrud> matt3453: you cound try installing alsa-oss and running firefox from a terminal :  aoss firefox  , see if you get sound that way
[06:01] <Keenan3274> feel the freedom? is that microsoft's trademark little cutesy line that they use?
[06:02] <echo_> Is there a guru here who can help me?
[06:03] <Netslayer> I did an upgrade and my 2.6.20 kernel is not finding any disks using the dev mapper uuids! How can I fix that? ie grub has root=UUID=... and that matches I checked. It loads the kernel and goes Waiting for root file system, times out saying it can't find it
[06:03] <FFighter> arsonx: It isn't that simple really. But I guess I will just run XP through VMWare
[06:03] <FFighter> Anyone here using Vista ?
[06:03] <FFighter> LOL
[06:03] <FFighter> ^^
[06:03] <nickrud> FFighter: yes, with vmware
[06:03] <fishtank> i'm using vista?
[06:04] <echo_> I am in need of some help.   I tryed manualy installing the ov51x-jpeg driver on my system.  But it just shows up as a cut off green picture.  But aMSN seems to be alright with the webcam, but things like kopete won't work with it.  I have tryed the webcam on other machines with ubuntu and it worked.  I am stomped.  Please help me. :D
[06:04] <nickrud> Netslayer: try changing all those uuid's to the actual /dev devices to get the boot back
[06:05] <nickrud> FFighter: different software, same reason ;)
[06:05] <Keenan3274> vista..i've heard it requires a gig of ram? could that be right?
[06:05] <nickrud> at least
[06:05] <Keenan3274> geez....what does vista do with a gig of ram? come out of the screen and rub your back for you?
[06:05] <Netslayer> nickrud: i know when the livecd boots it shows sdc3.. tried it but it wont work. i'll try again (cycle through all my drives i guess)
[06:06] <JT-BMG-ATS-17750> greetings !!!
[06:06] <nickrud> Netslayer: do    sudo fdisk -l to get the actual physical devices
[06:07] <Netslayer> i can only do that when in the live cd, before it showed /dev/sdc3 as my root partition
[06:07] <Netslayer> right now my line reads: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic root=/dev/sdc3
[06:07] <matt3453> nickrud: no luck on the 'aoss firefox' command
[06:07] <matt3453> any other ideas?
[06:07] <nickrud> Netslayer: with fdisk? look at the partition itself, it should have /boot on it
[06:07] <nickrud> matt3453: nope
[06:07] <matt3453> ok, back to the intranetweb :)
[06:08] <echo_> I am in need of some help.   I tryed manualy installing the ov51x-jpeg driver on my system.  But it just shows up as a cut off green picture.  But aMSN seems to be alright with the webcam, but things like kopete won't work with it.  I have tryed the webcam on other machines with ubuntu and it worked.  I am stomped.  Please help me. :D
[06:08] <JT-BMG-ATS-17750> Is there a utility for linux that can do "shortcut keys" that can replace a key sequence with text ?  I am a tech support rep, and want to auto fill in questions on a ticket
[06:08] <LeilaSharon> nickrud, thanks, that sound like a potential lead. My other thought is that it is a memory issue.  Any tips on diagnosing - I am a linux newbie.  My very experience with linux is command line only.
[06:09] <payne> hola
[06:09] <Lord_Shadow> que paso?!
[06:09] <payne> k hay
[06:09] <nickrud> LeilaSharon: you could run the memtest on the bootup screen to test the memory. The other, well, it's not something I'd want to do, even though I suggested it

[06:14] <tho1> anybody know how to install invidia drivers in feisty?
[06:14] <chief> !nvidia | tho1
[06:14] <ubotu> tho1: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:15] <LeilaSharon> nickrud, thanks for the responses.  I do you know how I can open a text editor in CLI /non-GUI mode?  This might help me figure-out if the problem is just with the gui interface.
[06:15] <payne> kiero una serveza!!!
[06:15] <matthew_> hi guys, how do I search for a file in Ubuntu?
[06:15] <tho1> thanks
[06:15] <overclucker> LeilaSharon, nano
[06:15] <nickrud> LeilaSharon: emacs -nw
[06:15] <tho1> is there any way to copy from Gnome and paste to the console?
[06:15] <matthew_> there's a search manager, but it doesn't look into individual directories
[06:16] <overclucker> tho1, ctrl-shift-c
[06:16] <Grungebunny> tho1 yeah its called ctrl c
[06:16] <overclucker> tho1, ctrl-shift-v
[06:16] <payne> alguien conoce un softaware k se llama
[06:16] <nickrud> tho1: gpm provides paste between consoles, but I don't remember if it works between gui & console
[06:16] <payne> bueno termina en tronix2
[06:16] <overclucker> tho1, ctrl-shift-v pastes to console
[06:16] <LeilaSharon> thanks nickrud, I will try it now.
[06:17] <Netslayer> nickrud: finally back in livecd, fdisk -l shows /dev/sdc1 is /boot /dev/sdc2 is swap /dev/sdc3 is root
[06:18] <overclucker> Netslayer, why swap before root?
[06:18] <Netslayer> ** shrugs
[06:18] <Netslayer> it's a gb or so what diff
[06:18] <LeilaSharon> overclucker: Thanks, I will try nano next.
[06:18] <Grungebunny> funky question time.. I see alot of screenshots online and I notice a red diamond looking icon.. in many.. what is it?
[06:18] <chief> Grungebunny: Beryl
[06:19] <Netslayer> my kernel is failing to find my uuid root drive.. it's not even booting with root=/dev/sdc3
[06:19] <Grungebunny> ahh
[06:19] <nickrud> Netslayer: I've never used a separate boot partition with grub, I'm not sure if the root it's talking about is the boot or actual root
[06:19] <chief> Grungebunny: technically, it's the Beryl settings manager
[06:19] <brownie17> can anyone recommend a nintendo 64 emulator?
[06:19] <qman2> I'm having trouble booting after a fresh install of ubuntu server on an older machine; as soon as grub loads the kernel, the machine reboots
[06:19] <scythetleppo> I'm trying to setup ubuntu+windows xp and having trouble, I'm following the directions on help.ubuntu.com and I am getting error 17: cannot mount selected partition
[06:19] <tho1> overclucker: that does not work
[06:19] <qman2> I tried adding the options apm=off and noapic, but it still won't boot
[06:19] <craigbass1976> qman2, You must have a virus
[06:20] <craigbass1976> This just happened on a windows box I'm reformatting
[06:20] <chief> brownie17: Mupen64
[06:20] <craigbass1976> har har
[06:20] <brownie17> chief, thanks
[06:20] <brownie17> chief, is ti gnome?
[06:20] <payne> bai
[06:20] <chief> brownie17: this might help: http://www.fsckin.com/2007/09/05/what-do-you-do-when-your-girlfriend-wants-to-play-n64-games-on-linux/
[06:20] <tho1> I am trying to copy from firefox and paste to the console
[06:20] <matthew_> qman2: what's the last thing dmesg reports?
[06:20] <qman2> it doesn't report anything
[06:21] <qman2> it says "Starting up..." then reboots
[06:21] <disinterested> i got a new ide hd today but i find it in bios but not in ubuntu
[06:21] <Exospaciac> Has anyone else had any problems with Firefox being almost completely unresponsive? For a while,  Firefox worked but now it is unusable; I did nothing different to  make it do this, that I know of.
[06:21] <matthew_> qman2: throw a livecd in, mount the drive, and look at /var/log
[06:21] <qman2> even after removing quiet splash
[06:21] <matthew_> qman2: messages in particular
[06:21] <brownie17> chief, hahah
[06:21] <overclucker> tho1, it should work
[06:21] <matthew_> qman2: you have to look at the system logs, not the messages on the screen. those are garbage
[06:21] <qman2> ok
[06:21] <scythetleppo> how do I set up grub to see ubuntu on disk 1, partition 1; and windows xp on disk 2, partition 2 ?
[06:21] <matthew_> qman2: also, check for bad memory
[06:21] <craigbass1976> qman2, You may end up having to boot to a livecd to diagnose
[06:22] <matthew_> craigbass1976, the system doesn't boot otherwise, he's got no option
[06:22] <craigbass1976> scythetleppo, grub does 0 instead of 1 for first partition
[06:22] <qman2> memory's good, it passes the test and I was running freebsd on it previously
[06:22] <qman2> unless something happened to it recently
[06:22] <craigbass1976> I hadn't heard it mentioned yet
[06:22] <fatcatmatt> so i have kubuntu installed...how do i get the nvidia go7600 restricted driver installed?
[06:22] <matthew_> qman2: I see. then in that case check the logs.
[06:22] <qman2> ok
[06:22] <scythetleppo> craigbass1976: whoops I was doing 0,1 instead of 0,0 ~ thanks
[06:23] <chief> !nvidia | fatcatmatt
[06:23] <ubotu> fatcatmatt: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:23] <matthew_> qman2: let it fail once and then livecd it, mount and logs
[06:23] <tho1> overclucker: ctrl+c in firefox then ctrl+shift+v
[06:23] <craigbass1976> scythetleppo, nice when it's something simple, yes?
[06:24] <tho1> overclucker: that's a no go
[06:24] <nickrud> scythetleppo: and for your windows on the second disk, you'll need to do something like this http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/map.html
[06:24] <rathel> tho1, Try shift+ insert, it works for me.
[06:24] <qman2> I keep gentoo discs around for just this type of occasion
[06:24] <qman2> PITA to install, but the live CDs are nice and thin
[06:25] <tho1> why do you guys keep calling me "thol"?
[06:25] <scythetleppo> ok now it boots to ubuntu but doesn't stop and ask me to choose either
[06:25] <faileas> nalol
[06:25] <faileas> lol
[06:25] <faileas> it simply means people here are not lazy enough to tab complete tho1
[06:25] <mattgyver83> Does anyone use pcsx2?
[06:27] <Netslaye1> and why does the error say Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmd line or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls dev        << there are no such proc devices...
[06:27] <qman2> all the logs are empty
[06:27] <brownie17> chief, got it running, but it looks crappy with the rom i'm trying. it's conker's bad fur day
[06:27] <scythetleppo> nickrud: so I should do map (hd0) (hd1) and the other way around? I don't really see what that does
[06:27] <qman2> nothing in messages or syslog, dmesg has one line "(nothing has been logged yet.)
[06:27] <matthew_> qman2: even kern?
[06:27] <qman2> "
[06:27] <nickrud> scythetleppo: it fools windows into thinking it's booting from the first disk.
[06:27] <qman2> where's that
[06:27] <qman2> nevermind
[06:27] <scythetleppo> nickrud: that will make grub see it?
[06:27] <chief> brownie17: reading that article, it seems that running Windows N64 emulators in wine actually gets better framerates
[06:27] <qman2> also empty
[06:28] <FFighter> anyone have experience running Photoshop CS on Windows XP from VWare on Ubuntu ?
[06:28] <FFighter> Photoshop CS2 I mean
[06:28] <nickrud> scythetleppo: but you still have to use hd1,<whateverpartition>
[06:28] <chief> brownie17: for some people, at least
[06:28] <matthew_> qman2: hmm... the sudden reboot might prevent the system from properly writing the files...
[06:28] <tho1> i c
[06:28] <scythetleppo> nickrud: I don't follow
[06:28] <matthew_> qman2: or you're hitting problems at grub
[06:28] <qman2> I was hoping it was a simple problem with boot options, it's pretty old hardware
[06:29] <qman2> but it looks like it might be a hardware problem
[06:29] <nickrud> scythetleppo: I know, it's weird ;)  Put your menu.lst on a pastebin, I'll point it out
[06:29] <scythetleppo> nickrud: I did the map and map.. ok will do
[06:29] <bleach46290> Is there a way to use Real Player on Ubuntu, or is there an acceptable alternative?
[06:29] <matthew_> qman2: I thought you said it runs the live CDs fine
[06:29] <qman2> it does
[06:29] <mattgyver83> chief, what n64 emulator are you using?
[06:29] <chief> mattgyver83: i'm not
[06:29] <qman2> I installed from CD without a hitch, and was running freeBSD previously, the gentoo disc also runs fine
[06:29] <qman2> I can't run a GUI, not enough hardware
[06:30] <chief> !reaplayey | bleach46290
[06:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about reaplayey - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:30] <chief> !realplayer | bleach46290
[06:30] <ubotu> bleach46290: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[06:30] <matthew_> qman2: there's not that much difference between a liveCD and a boot version kernel wise
[06:30] <tho1> what does it mean when it says "ur hardware does not need restricted drivers"
[06:30] <matthew_> qman2: so freeBSD still works?
[06:30] <qman2> well, it did, I had a software issue with it when I swapped NICs
[06:30] <nickrud> bleach46290: you can add     deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu feisty-commercial main   to your sources.list and apt-get install realplay
[06:30] <qman2> so I decided to reformat with ubuntu
[06:31] <rock22> can i perform a usual partitioning with raiser and swap into a pendrive and install ubuntu and use lilo too?
[06:31] <matthew_> qman2: I see... how old is this system exactly?
[06:31] <nickrud> tho1: it means you have a card that the open source drivers provide 3d acceleration
[06:31] <qman2> about 10 years
[06:31] <matthew_> qman2: there's always the possibility it's not supported in 2.6
[06:31] <matthew_> qman2: although that's pretty slim... well 10 years is quite a while
[06:31] <qman2> could be, does it require i686 extensions?
[06:32] <tho1> nickrud: I have a geforce 7600
[06:32] <qman2> because this is only i586
[06:32] <matthew_> qman2: i686..? I thought you said it was 10 years old
[06:32] <nickrud> tho1: I don't know the cards, just the reason it says that ;)
[06:32] <tho1> nickrud: icannot adjust my screen resolution
[06:32] <matthew_> qman2: but actually, since it runs liveCD.. it shouldn't be a kernel issue
[06:32] <qman2> yes, it's an AMD K6 processor
[06:32] <qman2> yeah, I've had gentoo on it with a 2.6 kernel before, but that was a while ago
[06:32] <nickrud> !fixres | tho1: that's a monitor problem, look at the last link:
[06:32] <ubotu> tho1: that's a monitor problem, look at the last link:: 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
[06:32] <matthew_> qman2: you've checked the bootloader?
[06:33] <scythetleppo> nickrud: http://rafb.net/p/7ofO8p67.html
[06:33] <qman2> framebuffers and X don't work too well on it because of the video card
[06:33] <matthew_> qman2: but those come way later in the boot sequence
[06:33] <qman2> grub seems to be alright, I modified the boot line
[06:33] <matthew_> qman2: you're not even getting a kernel to load
[06:33] <qman2> right
[06:33] <Ravenndude`> Why can't I choose the font Monospace in Openoffice, but I can in Gedit and in terminal?
[06:33] <tho1> ubotu: thanks
[06:33] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[06:33] <qman2> the disk mounts alright too, I'm looking at the whole filesystem right now
[06:33] <scythetleppo> !thanks
[06:33] <tho1> cool
[06:34] <matthew_> qman2: perhaps your ubuntu cd is just corrupted? did you check the md5?
[06:34] <WONToN> good job ubotu!
[06:34] <qman2> no, I just burned it though, I can check it
[06:34] <matthew_> qman2: I guess we should check everything just in case
[06:34] <scythetleppo> nickrud: http://rafb.net/p/7ofO8p67.html
[06:34] <matthew_> qman2: there's always the possibility of data corruption... although that's pretty rare
[06:35] <rock22> i saw into the pendrivelinux site that ubuntu can be installed, but some hardwire is required... can i do a clean installation?
[06:35] <matthew_> qman2: so you said you're using the ubuntu-alt install since it can't do gui?
[06:36] <qman2> ubuntu server, actually
[06:36] <napox> anyone can please help me with VirtualBox problem ? i wrote the problem here -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=548155
[06:36] <matthew_> qman2: I see... hmm well that shouldn't be a problem
[06:36] <tarelerulz> I just got 500gb  and I want to set other computer as computer I can control via vnc or ssh .  with out gnome  starting up or remote login
[06:36] <nickrud> scythetleppo: http://rafb.net/p/zL8GBh39.txt  add this stanza _after_ the END OF DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC line, edit to match your partition
[06:38] <tarelerulz> do any of you know a good  how-to telling you how to do that
[06:38] <nickrud> scythetleppo: the root is possibly (hd1,0) for hdb1 I'd guess
[06:38] <rock22> anyone have a clue on the issue?

[06:38] <scythetleppo> nickrud: winxp is on 2,2 so it would be hd1,1 right
[06:39] <qman2> well, the md5sum doesn't quite add up
[06:39] <nickrud> minerale: there's a checkbox and a space for the login name under System->Administration->Login Window security tab
[06:39] <Rubin> minerale, edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf with your fav text editor, as root. theres comments in there with instructions. its not secure.
[06:39] <nickrud> scythetleppo: disk 2, partition 2 is hd1,1
[06:39] <scythetleppo> right. ok so now it's in there, what now? just reboot?
[06:39] <nickrud> yup. And hope ;0
[06:41] <easye> Hello ALL. Looking for support on a MX700 mouse in ubuntu, (Back and Forward buttons not working)

[06:42] <scythetleppo> it said bootloader press exc to enter the menu and then it counted down and started ubuntu..
[06:42] <nickrud> qman2: yes, and sorry about the paste ;)
[06:42] <easye> thank you much
[06:42] <qman2> yeah, it burned bad then
[06:42] <qman2> I'll burn it again I suppose
[06:43] <qman2> thanks for your help
[06:43] <LeilaSharon> nicrud: emacs is not crashing in without the GUI.  I am trying to look into memory as the issue. In the system manager I see that User memory is now at 40% of maximum.  Is there a way to prevent ubuntu from exceeding this?  Does it make sense that nedit and emacs would overload my RAM when other applications don' t?
[06:43] <qman2> I'll be back if it still doesn't work :)
[06:43] <nickrud> qman2: a sec.
[06:43] <nickrud> qman2: the disk itself has a self test, and I have this feeling that I was told that it doesn't come out the same, so ...
[06:44] <scythetleppo> nickrud: ah ok well it works if I press esc i can choose windows. but how can I have a splash screen that comes up, and lets me pick automatically with no esc, and has a default value?
[06:44] <nickrud> scythetleppo: a sec, I know, but must remember ;)

[06:44] <scythetleppo> nickrud: actually when I try windows I get error 12: invalid device requested
[06:44] <nickrud> LeilaSharon: I'm not that big of a guru ;)
[06:44] <qman2> well, I burned it at max speed (48x) so I'll do it again slower and see
[06:46] <MasonUS> Hello.
[06:46] <scythetleppo> nickrud: ok I figured out the right partition so ignore that part about windows not working
[06:46] <overclucker> scythetleppo, i believe you just remove the countdown option from /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:46] <LeilaSharon> nickrud: look pretty good from my perspective :) thanks anyway.
[06:46] <rock22> i suppose nobody have issued this tiil now...?
[06:46] <scythetleppo> overclucker: ok so that will make a splash screen and a list of the options?
[06:46] <zippyy> bruenig, you still around ?
[06:47] <Thurin1> Is anyone good at reading Xorg Dumps?
[06:47] <overclucker> scythetleppo, for a spash image, add somthing like this to the front of menu.lst splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/NightOfUbuntu.xpm.gz
[06:48] <MasonUS> I need some help configuring grub.
[06:48] <scythetleppo> overclucker: removing the timer doesn't just make it automatically go to ubuntu?
[06:48] <nickrud> scythetleppo: look towards the top of the menu.lst, is hiddenmenu uncommented ? (no # at the beginning)
[06:48] <overclucker> scythetleppo, and it's not countdown its timeout
[06:48] <MasonUS> I have Ubuntu installed on an external harddrive that I can boot from when I start my computer with it attached.
[06:48] <MasonUS> but when I detach it and restart it has an error
[06:48] <overclucker> scythetleppo, i'm not sure
[06:48] <MasonUS> because it can't see ubuntu
[06:49] <MasonUS> it wont let me boot to windows
[06:49] <disinterested> how would i move a folder to a different hd?
[06:49] <MasonUS> can I have it ignore the fact that ubuntu is missing?
[06:50] <Ants> disinterested: drag it over?
[06:50] <shifty-> anyone use openbox?
[06:50] <disinterested> the problem is i cant find the 2 hd
[06:51] <scythetleppo> ok I found it I think, there's a command hidemenu
[06:51] <nickrud> disinterested: mv /path/to/folder /path/to/here
[06:51] <Ants> disinterested: linux to windows? windows to linux?
[06:51] <disinterested> just linux
[06:52] <scythetleppo> yep that was it
[06:52] <workmunch> Am trying to use Firestarter to share an internet connection to no avail. I can get them to ping each other, and I'm fairly sure I'm starting firestarter from an "empty" iptables setup. Any help?
[06:52] <nickrud> overclucker: there's actually a nice grub options editor in the next version ;)
[06:52] <Ants> disinterested: the hard drive is probably not mounted. you need to have it mounted first
[06:52] <scythetleppo> now I need to figure out what that failed to allocate something about memory message is when ubuntu starts
[06:52] <disinterested> how do i mount it?
[06:53] <AA|[russ] _Loko> hi
[06:53] <nickrud> workmunch: do you have firstarter providing dhcp and dns to the other?
[06:53] <overclucker> nickrud, that's make troubleshooting alot easier, lol
[06:53] <overclucker> that'll
[06:54] <Ants> disinterested: google 'mount hard drive linux'
[06:54] <nickrud> aye
[06:54] <disinterested> ty
[06:54] <workmunch> nickrud - I've tried it w/out dhcp too (that's how I was able to get them to ping each other)--but I'm back trying w/dhcp
[06:54] <overclucker> i need to work on my engrish
[06:54] <MasonUS> Well hell fellas, I was hoping someone would know the answer
[06:54] <Ants> ah so, me too work on engrish
[06:54] <nickrud> workmunch: I like dnsmasq
[06:55] <workmunch> nickrud: hmm, I installed that too--that may be the problem, I tried a bunch of things from different tutorials.
[06:55] <TweegyBlink_> hi
[06:55] <nickrud> why with all the grub questions today, I barely know it ;(
[06:55] <TweegyBlink_> hey giys
[06:56] <qman2> I'm running the check CD for defects thing, and then I'll try the repair installation
[06:56] <tarntow> anyone here had sound problem whereby system sounds break off half way through logging in and sound is lost after?
[06:56] <nickrud> MasonUS: I'd redo the grub, have it written to the mbr of the external. Have window's bootloader on the hard drive mbr., and set the external as first boot
[06:57] <MasonUS> redo the grub?
[06:57] <MasonUS> It needs to be able to boot windows without the external attached.
[06:57] <gogeta> nickrud??
[06:57] <MasonUS> the boot loader is on the internal harddrive.
[06:57] <mtx1> is there a way to copy all programs to a new installation by copying certain directories? or do i need to manually reinstall them? i am going with a new system but same chipset and architecture
[06:57] <sgtmattbaker> so .. the college doesnt like people remote desktop to their pc.. what do you think about that
[06:57] <MasonUS> I see what you're saying
[06:57] <MasonUS> put grub on the external
[06:58] <nickrud> MasonUS: yeah, boot to ubuntu, run sudo grub-install /dev/<whatever the external is> , and then rewrite the windows mbr with whatever tool windows provides
[06:58] <MasonUS> so the computer will automatically load windows since it won't see grub at all
[06:58] <nickrud> gogeta: ?
[06:58] <gogeta> seems to make sence
[06:58] <MasonUS> I'll give it a try.
[06:58] <MasonUS> thanks for the advice, I shoulda thought of that :)
[06:59] <kousotu> Where might I go to find drivers for a Memory stick/card reader?
[06:59] <Rictoo> Guys, I am having trouble with gnome-theme-manager. It freezes when I open it. HOWEVER it works perfectly when running it as root. Obviously there is some configuration file problem. How do I clear the config files for gnome-theme-manager?
[06:59] <Tr1pX> i cant get my 2 ubuntu machines to share files
[06:59] <gogeta> kousitu try plugging it in lol
[07:00] <nickrud> kousotu: it should already be in the kernel; your memstick isn't mounting?
[07:00] <kousotu> nickrud: if it was, wold I be asking?
[07:00] <gogeta> trlpx samba is your frend
[07:00] <kousotu> would*
[07:00] <Thurin1> Does anyone understand Xorg Dumps well?
[07:00] <Tr1pX> even for linux to linux
[07:00] <Tr1pX> what about nfs
[07:00] <Ants> kousotu: hahaha touchy, aren't u?
[07:01] <nickrud> kousotu: heck, I always get tripped up when I assume stuff ;)
[07:01] <gogeta> nfs is a bit hard to get to work
[07:01] <kousotu> Ants: no
[07:01] <Tr1pX> yea i can see that i have been playing with it for 2 hours
[07:01] <kousotu> nickrud: It's kewl, just givin you a hard time
[07:01] <DjBones253> my apt is acting up and saying that it can't find an archive for the newest version of deluge that i upgraded to.. haha any help?
[07:01] <Ants> is it just a plain ol' memory stick? no programs on it?
[07:01] <gogeta> so most just use samba
[07:01] <kousotu> nickrud: I need a read/write FAT partions on a ms
[07:01] <Tr1pX> can it be that my usernames are the same on both machines
[07:01] <gogeta> naa
[07:02] <kousotu> Ants: MSD, (for PSP) but yes
[07:02] <nickrud> Tr1pX: I have never used nfs, sorry
[07:02] <Tr1pX> ok i guess i will have to use samba then
[07:02] <Ants> kousotu: cruzer smart, for example, is not linux friendly
[07:02] <kousotu> Tr1pX: what are you trying to do withNTFS?
[07:03] <gogeta> LOL
[07:03] <gogeta> not ntfs
[07:03] <gogeta> nfs
[07:03] <gogeta> network file sharing
[07:03] <kousotu> Ants: PSP or regular sandisc ones, I don't know what make thereader is
[07:03] <Tr1pX> nothing i am trying to share between both of my ubuntu boxes
[07:03] <gogeta> its a app likesamba
[07:03] <Tr1pX> i was trying to set up my server to share with my other ubuntu box
[07:03] <Tr1pX> both are feisty
[07:03] <kousotu> Tr1pX: oh.. sorry, no experience there
[07:04] <nickrud> Rictoo: gnome theme manager drops stuff all through the configuration system, about the only way to clear it would be gconf-tool --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome  ; that will clear a lot of settings you'd have to redo
[07:04] <Ants> mem sticks should just mount. i would try backing up the stick and formatting it after. i think that'll do the trick
[07:04] <gogeta> yea it has to be one odd stick
[07:04] <kousotu> Ants: it doesn't show up
[07:04] <Tr1pX> even when i set my folders to be shared on samba my other machines doesnt see them and they are both set for workgroup
[07:04] <gogeta> your reader usb or something
[07:04] <nickrud> Rictoo: arg, wrong answer :)   Rictoo sudo chown -R ricktoo:ricktoo ~/.gconf
[07:04] <Ants> it's not even in /dev?
[07:05] <kousotu> gogeta: it's a PSP 32mb stick with the MS  adaptor
[07:05] <gogeta> err
[07:05] <Sevk> MY VNC+VBOX   http://hi.baidu.com/sevk/album/item/74acb235adddd281a61e12a0.html
[07:05] <kousotu> gogeta: (my laptop reads MS, but not pro duos
[07:05] <gogeta> why not connect your psp via usb
[07:05] <nickrud> Rictoo: and don't run gui apps with sudo
[07:05] <Rictoo> nickrud: I already tried rm -rf'ing .gconf
[07:05] <riotkittie> sweet. i've managed to lose my wired connection under dapper and feisty too. i'm starting to think i should have just kept my last lame adapter.
[07:05] <Rictoo> didn't fix it :(
[07:05] <gogeta> linux should see it
[07:05] <kousotu> gogeta: Pandora batery
[07:05] <Sevk> can you openit ? http://hi.baidu.com/sevk/album/item/74acb235adddd281a61e12a0.html
[07:05] <nickrud> Rictoo: no, because it gets rewritten from memory when gnome shuts down.
[07:05] <brunner> hi all
[07:05] <Rictoo> so
[07:05] <kousotu> gogeta: I don't have a second, and I really don't trust USB with it
[07:06] <Rictoo> ubuntu is too smart for me? :(
[07:06] <gogeta> doesent the psp run on usb power
[07:06] <gogeta> if its connected
[07:06] <Rictoo> nickrud: rictoo@rictoo-desktop:~$ chown -R rictoo:rictoo ~/.gconf
[07:06] <brunner> I just installed ubuntu and when I was running off of the live cd I allowed it to use the unsupported X driver.  Now X won't start.  Within xorg.conf, how do I change it back to the default driver?
[07:06] <Rictoo> and that's it
[07:06] <Rictoo> I restart GNOME?
[07:06] <DjBones253> apt can't find an archive and its disabling me from using dpkg, anybody know a workaround?
[07:06] <riotkittie> ok, i need to build a driver. beyond the driver's source, i shouldnt need anything but build-essential and uhmmmm the kernel headers, right? or am i forgetting something vital?
[07:06] <kousotu> gogeta: I could..
[07:07] <nickrud>  Rictoo you could log out, change to a terminal, and do    ps aux | grep gconf , make sure it's not running, then rm -r it
[07:07] <brunner> sorry, I meant that I enabled the unsupported ATI driver and don't know what to change in xorg.conf to set it back.
[07:07] <kousotu> gogeta: but getting the PSP on takes a few tries, and it's on japanese mode lol
[07:07] <patty> change the deviche section from fglrx to ati
[07:07] <gogeta> LOL
[07:07] <patty> although the open source doesn't work for me
[07:07] <easye> anyone in here have a logitech mx700 mouse
[07:07] <riotkittie> brunner > change the driver to ati
[07:07] <patty> ati blows
[07:07] <gogeta> thats probly why right there
[07:07] <easye> i read the tutorial, but it didn't help much
[07:07] <Ants> patty: which card do you have?
[07:08] <kousotu> any info on a ATI Radeon Xpress X1250's compatability with Ubuntu?
[07:08] <nickrud> poor
[07:08] <kousotu> lol
[07:08] <gogeta> horrid
[07:08] <gogeta> gotta use atis drivers
[07:08] <Rictoo> nickrud: Didn't fix anything
[07:08] <gogeta> they suck
[07:09] <kousotu> lmao
[07:09] <DjBones253> atleast ati is going open source lol
[07:09] <Rictoo> Wasn't I supposed to also rm -rf it?
[07:09] <nickrud> Rictoo: you could log out, change to a terminal, and do    ps aux | grep gconf , make sure it's not running, then rm -r it
[07:09] <gogeta> at leats untill later this year whem amd finnly is relesing good ones
[07:09] <kousotu> can's they be wrapped with Ndiswrapper?
[07:09] <Rictoo> nickrud: last time I deleted the folder I was in IceWM
[07:09] <riotkittie> ati's going open source?
[07:09] <nickrud> Rictoo: running apps with sudo sucks
[07:09] <Rictoo> it should've been running then, right?
[07:09] <gogeta> yea
[07:09] <Rictoo> shouldnt've
[07:09] <gogeta> later this year
[07:09] <patty> amd bought them
[07:09] <patty> not the drm part though
[07:10] <riotkittie> oh yea i forgot about that.
[07:10] <Sevk> who can open my web :  http://hi.baidu.com/sevk/album/item/74acb235adddd281a61e12a0.html
[07:10] <patty> there will still be secret parts of it to keep us from doing too much
[07:10] <DjBones253> yeah, ati is releasing their drivers.. almost makes up for their lack of support haha
[07:10] <riotkittie> maybe there's hope for my crappy card after all :P
[07:10] <nickrud> Rictoo: depends on what might have called into action, running a gnome app, maybe. remove gconfd, anything gconf
[07:10] <Nutubuntu> hey there nickrud :)
[07:10] <gogeta> hope for all of us ati cards lol
[07:10] <nickrud> hey Nutubuntu
[07:10] <Ants> i wish i could get 3d accel with my radeon x1600 under feisty. *sigh*
[07:10] <gogeta> use atis drivers ants
[07:11] <DjBones253> i have a radeon 1600 too.. not the most wonderful driver
[07:11] <easye> Sevk, I opened your web
[07:11] <Sevk> : )
[07:11] <patty> do you mean the fglrx or the open source?
[07:11] <Ants> gogeta: doesn't work for me. i prolly did something wrong
[07:11] <gogeta> they suck but at least you will get some 3d
[07:11] <Ants> DjBones253: do you have 3d accel?
[07:11] <DjBones253> i meant the fglrx because it doesnt support compositing
[07:11] <patty> i can't even get x to run with open source... i blame ati, not the coders
[07:11] <jpiccolo> i am having a problem with grep
[07:11] <gogeta> i use the oss drivers
[07:11] <riotkittie> hm. ok. i'm going to go try to get this bleeping adapter running. for the 93rd time.
[07:11] <Nutubuntu> grep problem jpiccolo ?
[07:11] <DjBones253> haha 3d accel but no compositing.. so no beryl or compiz
[07:11] <nickrud> DjBones253: xserver-xgl gives you the pretty stuff
[07:11] <gogeta> but my card has 3d support even under oss
[07:12] <easye> That's too many iterations of Operating systems
[07:12] <Ants> DjBones253: yeah, that sucks
[07:12] <patty> what exactly is compositing?  i'm running compiz right now on ati
[07:12] <kousotu> about the MC issus?
[07:12] <DjBones253> oh really? i didnt know you could get effects with card
[07:12] <DjBones253> ive been using envy to do the dirty work for me all these years haha
[07:12] <patty> you have to use xgl
[07:12] <gogeta> compiz fusion rocks
[07:12] <nickrud> patty: doing the screen writes off screen, then blending, and moving to the displayed screen
[07:12] <patty> which isn't as good as aixgl or whatever the other one is
[07:12] <jpiccolo> Nutubuntu: i need to tree a directory to get the number of directories, then i need to save the number in a variable in my bash script
[07:12] <Netslaye1> when is tribe 6 gusty coming out? why was it delayed?
[07:13] <patty> enraged debian partisans
[07:13] <gogeta> net dont care dont wanna knoe
[07:13] <kousotu> Netslaye1: it wo't be untill most of the bugs are fixed
[07:13] <nickrud> Netslaye1: I hear that it's going to be the first beta, just before the end of the month
[07:13] <DjBones253> oh, gutsy is delayed? ah well, id rather have it delayed than a buggy
[07:13] <riotkittie> oh god.  i forgot what version of the chipset my adapter is :<
[07:13] <TomasuAway> can ubuntu 7.04 be dist-upgraded to 7.10 without any problems once its released?
[07:13] <Nutubuntu> :/ jpiccolo you've gone beyond what I understand of grep, sorry
[07:13] <gogeta> i thionk gust is going to be there next long term distro
[07:13] <shifty-> how do i make something start up automatically with a certain session?
[07:13] <riotkittie> looks like i'll just download the source for them all. woo woo.
[07:13] <gogeta> so they will get it pretty bug free
[07:13] <Rictoo> nickrud: nope, still the same problem
[07:13] <kousotu> nickrud: it's already beta lol
[07:13] <Rictoo> whenever I get into gnome-theme-manager, the entire thing is immediately frozen
[07:13] <nickrud> kousotu: wide scale beta ;)
[07:14] <Rictoo> but if I run with sudo its fine (obviously I can't change themes while running with sudo)
[07:14] <Netslaye1> if i install tribe 5 right now, i can just simply upgrade to beta and final release right with apt-get?
[07:14] <kousotu> nickrud: better answer lol
[07:14] <gogeta> yes netslaye
[07:14] <Rictoo> so it must be a configuration problem, no?
[07:14] <marlun> I removed the link to the gnome help from the panel and now I can't find it, how do I get to it? In "System > Help & Support" it's only ubuntu help, I want the gnome help :)
[07:14] <patty> open source beta is still pretty damn good.  grub's not to version 1 and the whole world runs on it
[07:14] <Netslaye1> anyone try gusty tribe 5... does it generally work? ie pretty solid
[07:14] <gogeta> but your gonna be using beta nstable
[07:14] <gogeta> unstable
[07:14] <gogeta> so be redy for bugs
[07:14] <nickrud> I'm still gonna call gutsy alpha, it'll keep out the riff-raff ;)
[07:15] <Rictoo> nickrud: ^ :(
[07:15] <gogeta> lol
[07:15] <DjBones253> haha its true though
[07:15] <kousotu> Netslaye1: running T5 as we speak,stable fo me
[07:15] <Rictoo> How do I delete all the configuration files?
[07:15] <Rictoo> I deleted .gconf, but it still is doing the thing
[07:15] <Rictoo> ie freezing
[07:15] <DjBones253> magic of synaptic?
[07:15] <Netslaye1> kousotu: cool.. this is for my home server/mythbackend. gotta get it up for the new season
[07:15] <nickrud> Rictoo: I don't know what to say, remove .gnome* .gconf* .local*
[07:15] <Rictoo> .local?
[07:15] <gogeta> majic of apt-get
[07:15] <gogeta> LOL
[07:15] <Rictoo> what's .local ?
[07:15] <shifty-> how do i make something start up automatically with a certain session?
[07:16] <nickrud> Rictoo: any custom launchers you've made
[07:16] <gogeta> easly\
[07:16] <gogeta> shifty
[07:16] <DjBones253> should be under preferences sessions
[07:16] <kousotu> Where might I go to find drivers for a Memory stick/card reader? My internal isn't working and I want to know why
[07:16] <gogeta> system prefrences sessions
[07:16] <Rictoo> nickrud: That would have nothing to do with this, would it? :S
[07:16] <gogeta> you can add startup programs there
[07:16] <TomasuAway> can I expect a distupgrade from fiesty to gutsy to work without problems (once its out?)
[07:16] <shifty-> gogeta: im using openbox
[07:16] <shifty-> gogeta: i cant get to that menu
[07:16] <DjBones253> most likely.. although id give it a few days to let the servers cool down
[07:17] <gogeta> LOL
[07:17] <nickrud> Rictoo: heck, I'd expect that if you have an empty .gconf that you'd start with a default menu even
[07:17] <Ants> i'd switch to feisty like that if only i could get beryl or compiz to work with my x1600
[07:17] <gogeta> well it depends on your window manager then
[07:17] <Rictoo> nickrud: is there any way to reinstall gnome-theme-manager ?
[07:17] <OrTigaS> anyone can guide me how to install GRUB to my external USB HD.... i tried to install but when it comes to installing grub, whatever dev/ i put i doesn't install... Ubotu link very complex to me to understand :)... noob when it comes to this.
[07:17] <gogeta> it might not even support that
[07:17] <nickrud> Rictoo: sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-theme-manager
[07:17] <DjBones253> Ants: yeah, shouldnt have to wait long for the ati driver support though
[07:17] <Rictoo> it isn't a package
[07:18] <shifty-> gogeta: it supports it, but theres no nice easy manager for it, which is why i was asking
[07:18] <gogeta> you can add it to the system startup but then its always going to start on any user
[07:18] <patty> Ortiga: it should.  most everything has a boot sector.  how exactly i don't know.  i did it once on accident when i meant to have it on the main hd
[07:18] <prft> hello to all
[07:18] <Ants> DjBones253: yeah. can't wait. gonna leave opensuse
[07:18] <Ants> :-(
[07:19] <kousotu> Where might I go to find drivers for a Memory stick/card reader? My internal isn't working and I want to know why
[07:19] <prft> new around here
[07:19] <OrTigaS> so anyone can guide me :)
[07:19] <DjBones253> Ants: usin opensuse? ive tried to install it several times, never worked.. is it any good?
[07:19] <Nutubuntu> Oh ... well, if you're new, you gotta greet everyone individually ... by name ;p
[07:19] <Rictoo> nickrud: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=9907
[07:19] <prft> can some one help me with the installation vpnc on ubuntu amd 64
[07:19] <Rictoo> That guy is having the same problem
[07:19] <prft> ?
[07:19] <Rictoo> but got no replies
[07:19] <nickrud> Rictoo: looking for the package
[07:19] <Rictoo> oh, thanks :)
[07:19] <Frogzoo> OrTigaS: grub won't boot if your bios doesn't support booting from usb
[07:19] <patty> apt-get your problems away, and thank god you're not using gentoo
[07:20] <DjBones253> hey, i got a prob when i upgraded deluge, kinda messed up apt
[07:20] <DjBones253> haha
[07:20] <DjBones253> sayin an archive is missin, won;t let me do much
[07:20] <patty> most bioses do, though...
[07:20] <OrTigaS> Frogzoo:  the laptop seems new
[07:20] <Nutubuntu> prft, have installed vpnc, once ... if you're having a very basic issue, maybe I can help
[07:20] <patty> only the really old ones wont
[07:20] <Ants> DjBones253: i have the 64bit 10.2. it's sweet. the only reason i want to change is that sometimes restarting gives me butterflies in my stomach. ubuntu didn't seem to do that when i had it installed
[07:20] <patty> like i have an old win 98 box that did
[07:20] <OrTigaS> so it support to boot from external drives, like usb
[07:20] <prft> well I have been trying to install
[07:20] <prft> thank you very much
[07:21] <prft> but I get the following error
[07:21] <nickrud> Rictoo: it's gnome-control-center
[07:21] <patty> i have puppy on a flash, but it has a special bootloader, not grub
[07:21] <qman2> well, I tried repairing with the new disc, but it still won't boot, so I'm running memtest
[07:21] <qman2> I don't think that's the problem though
[07:21] <kousotu> Where might I go to find drivers for a Memory stick/card reader? My internal isn't working and I want to know why
[07:21] <DjBones253> Ants: haha yeah.. they can seem pretty shaky sometimes.. never really cared for the .rpm based distros though
[07:21] <DjBones253> Ants: bother findin packages lol

[07:22] <Joules> hey guys so ive been trying to set up encryption on my airport expresss... problem is the software that ubuntu has is way hard to use ... at least to set it up

[07:22] <nickrud> please
[07:22] <DjBones253> Ants: oh yeah, the only way ive borked a debian distro is when i fiddled with the xorg.conf
[07:22] <Ants> Joules: omg. feisty was super easy to set up
[07:22] <patty> it's talking about pointers, that's got to be programming error rather than a missed dependency
[07:23] <Joules> Ants: i know how to connect to it
[07:23] <DjBones253> Ants: but most of the time thats not a good idea anyway haha
[07:23] <Joules> Ants: the problem is that i want to encrypt it and all
[07:23] <Ants> DjBones253: yeah ahahahah
[07:23] <Rictoo> nickrud: I open the theme manager, all the thumnnails are grey with question marks in them. and the second I scroll the entire theme manager freezes
[07:23] <DjBones253> overclucker: of course, as long as youve got a couple hours to burn
[07:23] <Frogzoo> prft: warning's aren't necessarily a problem
[07:23] <Ants> Joules: ah
[07:23] <Rictoo> but if I run with sudo, it all works perfectly
[07:23] <Nutubuntu> prft, I didn't see *anything* like that ... how are you installing ?
[07:23] <DjBones253> overclucker: i kid of course haha
[07:23] <prft> hi Frogzoo
[07:24] <prft> yeah but I see that it fails
[07:24] <Frogzoo> prft: here's your problem:  No rule to make target `/home/prft/vpnclient/libdriver64.so
[07:24] <prft> look at the log
[07:24] <Dark_Rain> morning guys
[07:24] <prft> how do I fix it my friend?
[07:24] <Joules> Ants:  i made the big mistake of uninstalling windows.. i forgot my password for the base station and now i cant seem to figure it out
[07:24] <ktw> morning
[07:24] <overclucker> DjBones253, it'l take more than a couple hours, lol, takes me about 10
[07:24] <ktw> i got a problem, i installed windows and...
[07:24] <wolferine> how do you get a list of ircops ?
[07:24] <prft> Nutubuntu
[07:24] <Frogzoo> prft: read the README & INSTALL files, & make sure you have the right version of make/gcc etc.
[07:25] <prft> I'm installing following some instructions
[07:25] <Joules> Ants: so i reset-ed it and now i cant set it up .. its just some generic thing
[07:25] <prft> let me see if I find it now
[07:25] <Frogzoo> wolferine: -> #ubuntu-ops I think it is
[07:25] <DjBones253> overclucker: lol i was talking about individual programs in the fun dependency pergutory.. but i cant think of a more fun evening than sitting by the fire and compiling the kernel
[07:25] <Ants> Joules: hahaha i'm not good enough w/linux to uinstall windows yet. i always have xp and acronis true image installed   ;-)
[07:25] <prft> ohhhhhhhhhhhh   Frogzoo

[07:26] <ubotu> Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come.
[07:26] <nickrud> Rictoo: I'm at a loss, One question though. When you removed gconf , did you get the default panels?
[07:26] <patty> ubotu debian
[07:26] <ubotu> Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[07:26] <patty> ubotu peace in the middle east
[07:26] <jjmmma> ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?
[07:26] <patty> that one got it
[07:26] <Frogzoo> patty: ha ha
[07:26] <Rictoo> nickrud: i don't know, because before I removed gconf I reinstalled gnome-control-center

[07:35] <Joules> i hate not being able to connect
[07:35] <ambrose_> hey does any 1 know any power pc websites
[07:35] <Nutubuntu> prft yes, sure
[07:35] <ambrose_> if u do it would be really helpful
[07:35] <DjBones253> any googlin answers?
[07:36] <prft> I tried it, and it installed. How do I get the vpnclient to work?
[07:36] <ambrose_> juss give me sum links if u know them by hard
[07:36] <ambrose_> lol
[07:36] <Nutubuntu> DjBones253, that's astonishing ... yeah, too much time on someone's hands, but wow.
[07:36] <prft> I also installed kvpnc
[07:36] <rxKaffee> are any of you guys involved in Canonical's project "The OpenCD"? wondering wehre to get a version list of the softwares that are included
[07:36] <`LePGeL[BoY] > what visual programming is better and easy in ubuntu? like visual C#, C++, or basic in windoze?
[07:37] <prft> but I tried kvpnc a couple of days ago and uninstalled after
[07:37] <DjBones253> probably python is a good place to start
[07:37] <`LePGeL[BoY] > DjBones253: is there a visual programming in python?
[07:38] <ambrose_> no power pc repos websites huh?
[07:38] <WONToN> yuck
[07:38] <rxKaffee> `LePGeL[BoY] : pithon can work with tk and gtk visual libs
[07:38] <Nutubuntu> prft, you will need to edit the configuration file; someone here should be able to help, but if not, Google probably can -- it's sleep time where I am... good luck :)
[07:38] <rxKaffee> `LePGeL[BoY] : most other linux programing languages can too
[07:38] <nickrud> ambrose_: don't the standard repos still carry ppc as the community project?
[07:38] <DjBones253> LepGel, by visual do you GUI?
[07:38] <Nutubuntu> g'night all
[07:38] <DjBones253> *do you mean
[07:38] <`LePGeL[BoY] > rxKaffee: ow man.. im new to python.. i think it will be hard to start from scratch again
[07:39] <prft> thank you very much my friend!
[07:39] <fatcatmatt> the heck with Kubuntu!
[07:39] <rxKaffee> `LePGeL[BoY] : what lang are you familiar with?
[07:39] <ambrose_> ok well i cant download i386 packages
[07:39] <`LePGeL[BoY] > DjBones253: yeah something like that.. doing GUIs on visual
[07:39] <prft> Good night nubutu
[07:39] <DjBones253> python isn't to hard, if you have C and its variations under control python should be cake
[07:39] <`LePGeL[BoY] > rxKaffee: C, C#, C++ and basic
[07:39] <DjBones253> try DrPython
[07:39] <DjBones253> its in the repos
[07:39] <rxKaffee> `LePGeL[BoY] : then use C/C++ with gtk graphics libs
[07:40] <DjBones253> although, if you mean an development thing.. you might wanna check out Eclipse, its made for java but it can do most anything haha
[07:40] <nickrud> ambrose_: if you're running a ppc, it'll feed ppc packages
[07:40] <`LePGeL[BoY] > <rxKaffee>: ok thanx.. sorry for the hustle.. im a newbie at ubuntu
[07:40] <Netslaye1> is gusty available on most mirrors?
[07:40] <rxKaffee> `LePGeL[BoY] : cool thing about C, is that if you code well at it, its very portable :)
[07:41] <fatcatmatt> lepgel[boy] : it's all good
[07:41] <`LePGeL[BoY] > <DjBones253>: yeah, you got my point.. im into developing thing.. ill try eclipse to
[07:41] <rxKaffee> `LePGeL[BoY] : mono or objectc might be similar to C#, I'm not sure what teh avalibility of C# in the opensource world is
[07:41] <nickrud> `LePGeL[BoY] : yeah, eclipse is what you're probably gonna like best
[07:41] <ToddEDM> /channels
[07:41] <ToddEDM> hmmm.. hey how do i get a list of channels on this server
[07:41] <DjBones253> LepGel[Boy] : killer, if you browse through the gnome-app-install under programming you'll probably find some nice C environments
[07:42] <WONToN> -/list
[07:42] <ToddEDM> thx
[07:42] <mindframe> is there a package with a lot of fonts in it?
[07:42] <ambrose_> naw it says my system architecture isnt 1386
[07:42] <`LePGeL[BoY] > <rxKaffee>: actually i was a "WINDOZE" user.. unitl i shifted and found out that ubuntu is better.. but still got some problems on softwares..
[07:42] <WONToN> beware tho
[07:42] <mindframe> like _ALL_ of the extra fonts?
[07:42] <Dark_Rain> `LePGeL[BoY] ,  you could try gambas... is not c is basic but...
[07:42] <WONToN> cause there's alot of channels
[07:42] <`LePGeL[BoY] > nickrud: thanks.. is there a repo on ECPLISE?
[07:42] <nickrud> ambrose_: what are you trying to install?
[07:42] <rxKaffee> `LePGeL[BoY] : eclipse is best downloaded directly from their site
[07:42] <nickrud> `LePGeL[BoY] : sudo aptitude install eclipse
[07:42] <ambrose_> gxmame
[07:42] <rxKaffee> `LePGeL[BoY] : its self-contained in a single folder
[07:43] <`LePGeL[BoY] > Dark_Rain: i already had gambas :P but not to good at basic
[07:43] <DjBones253> should be able to do the apt-get magic
[07:43] <rxKaffee> `LePGeL[BoY] : and includes its own plugin manager/update downloader tihng
[07:43] <Netslaye1> i can only find gusty on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com .. is this the only place to download it from? mirrors seem not to have it
[07:43] <nickrud> `LePGeL[BoY] : listen to rxKaffee that's how I got it also ;)
[07:43] <nickrud> ambrose_: from where?
[07:43] <nickrud> ambrose_: use my nick, it's red in my client and I won't miss your lines
[07:43] <`LePGeL[BoY] > <nickrud: is it "sudo apt-get install 'package name here' "?? :P
[07:44] <`LePGeL[BoY] > rxKaffee: thanks dude..
[07:44] <nickrud> `LePGeL[BoY] : both work, I like aptitude better
[07:44] <ToddEDM> hey, i thought my nephew was the only one named Ambrose
[07:44] <qman2> hey, I think I found out what's wrong with my booting problem: http://paradigma.pt/ja/slog/index.php/2006/08/ubuntu-server-606-lts-doesnt-boot-if-cpu-686.html
[07:44] <qman2> I'm using fiesty, but it's likely to be similar
[07:45] <ambrose_> ok am i using it?
[07:45] <`LePGeL[BoY] > nickrud: ow.. is it the same as apt-get? will it find its sources at /etc/repos thingie?
[07:45] <ToddEDM> hey guys.. can i ask a totally off topic question?
[07:45] <rxKaffee> ToddEDM: you just did, and you're only allowed 1 :(
[07:45] <ToddEDM> im looking for a new cell phone.... any suggestions??? i dont want some high priced one, just a good one
[07:45] <Dark_Rain> ToddEDM, try SE P1
[07:45] <nickrud> `LePGeL[BoY] : yes, in fact synaptic is based on the aptitude code iirc
[07:46] <Dark_Rain> or nokia
[07:46] <playerzen> nokia e70
[07:46] <`LePGeL[BoY] > ToddEDM: well O2 XDAs are the better ones!!! hehehehe

[07:46] <nickrud> `LePGeL[BoY] : synaptic's rallying cry when it first got started was,  'synaptic's got aptitude' ;)

[07:47] <ToddEDM> they all look sh!tty to me
[07:47] <qman2> it's an old machine, 200MHz AMD K6 CPU
[07:48] <nickrud> ambrose_: xmame-sdl is in the repos, and runs on ppc
[07:48] <rxKaffee> ah, k6 should be 686 I thought
[07:48] <qman2> in previous experience I've found it's 586
[07:48] <rxKaffee> oh
[07:48] <ambrose_> i dont know how to run that 1
[07:48] <qman2> I was just unaware that the server kernel was compiled 686 minimum
[07:48] <ambrose_> u run it from the terminal right?
[07:48] <nickrud> ambrose_: and you can also install kxmame
[07:49] <ambrose_> i have kxmame but it chrashes
[07:49] <ambrose_> i was using it earlier
[07:49] <nickrud> qman2: there's the -386 variation for older machines
[07:49] <Ants> nothing's older than my commodore vic20
[07:50] <Ants> wonder whether linux will install on it
[07:50] <nickrud> my sinclair zx80 is
[07:50] <Ants> :-p
[07:50] <OrTigaS> wala pa rin :(
[07:50] <ToddEDM> did anyone look at those phones?

[07:51] <nickrud> heh. My first code ran on an ibm360
[07:51] <Ants> faileas: yeah, that would rock even as a terminal
[07:51] <`LePGeL[BoY] > <ToddEDM>: http://www.telusmobility.com/ab/pcs/phones.shtml <<< yes i looked at it.. try googling O2 XDA
[07:52] <shifty-> how do i make compiz run when x starts?
[07:52] <nickrud> took a week to get turnaround on the cards
[07:52] <`LePGeL[BoY] >  <ToddEDM>: no better phones than O2 XDA at your given site
[07:52] <Dark_Rain> nickrud, my first piece of software was running on an emulated CPM

[07:53] <nickrud> ambrose_: install kxmame, it'll give you a nice frontend
[07:53] <Tech-Mike> and add compiz --replace
[07:53] <ambrose_> i did it chrashes
[07:53] <shifty-> Tech-Mike: that has to run each time for compiz to run?
[07:54] <shifty-> Tech-Mike: theres no way to just make it start x with compiz?
[07:54] <ambrose_> i chrashed on me 7 times now
[07:54] <nickrud> ambrose_: sorry then. I've never had a ppc to play with.

[07:55] <`LePGeL[BoY] > guys, is there a minimal instalation for ubuntu? like only running it in level 4?
[07:55] <nickrud> ambrose_: probably a very ugly front end, you'd run it from a terminal:  /usr/games/xmame.x11

[07:58] <`LePGeL[BoY] > Ants: no need for dual booting when u got ubuntu running on it is VMWARE..
[07:58] <Dark_Rain> 5 servers
[07:58] <Neatchee> I wish I could quit windows entirely :(  I still haven't found an video upconverting suite for linux quite as complete as ffdshow
[07:58] <Extravert> hello
[07:58] <Dark_Rain> and one ubuntu desktop
[07:58] <faileas> one windows/wubi dualboot laptop, one mandriva system dedicated to VMs, and a ubuntu dedicated IRC server VM so far
[07:59] <Ants> `LePGeL[BoY] : i've never been fond of virtual boxes....
[07:59] <faileas> (laptop  runs mandriva since its the second least annoying distro/os for that hardware...)
[07:59] <`LePGeL[BoY] > Ants: the only thing virtuals are not being fond of are people using slow PCs.. :P
[08:00] <Neatchee> Plus there are a few MMOs I still enjoy on the PC, and my computers are just too old to make Cedega a viable option
[08:00] <Tech-Mike> <-- just switched to Ubuntu a week ago and havnt tried vmware...do i dl the vmware workstation?
[08:00] <Frogzoo> Legendre: even fast machines are slow on vms
[08:00] <Extravert> im getting "Error during device I/O", when launching xsane/sane scanner.  I have installed the appropriate drivers successfully.
[08:00] <nickrud> Tech-Mike: no, get the server, it's free and you can see if you like it
[08:00] <Tech-Mike> i8 thx
[08:00] <faileas> `LePGeL[BoY] :or if you need graphics acceleration
[08:01] <Brazenhead> hello, would any body be able to help me with dual booting my ubuntu + ubuntustudio setup with each one loaded on its own hard drive?
[08:01] <Neatchee> actually, i've yet to ask in here...does anyone know of a good linux-alternative to ffdshow?
[08:01] <Dark_Rain> 09:52:05 up 192 days, 23:36,  1 user,  load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00

[08:01] <Dark_Rain> :>
[08:01] <`LePGeL[BoY] > Ants: hmmm.. ive got the same thing here
[08:01] <Dark_Rain> verrry proud of myself
[08:01] <faileas> Brazenhead: 2 ways to do it
[08:01] <Brazenhead> grub reports the Error 21: Drive cannot be found when I attempt to boot my ubuntustudio
[08:01] <faileas> install each on its own, and use the bios to select if supported
[08:01] <`LePGeL[BoY] > faileas: ok.. so whats the thing you need that ubuntu doesnt have?
[08:02] <Dark_Rain> Neatchee, ffmpeg
[08:02] <Ants> `LePGeL[BoY] : i don't know what it's like under ubuntu, but virtual boxes under windows allows for only one cpu
[08:02] <faileas> `LePGeL[BoY] : one obscure windows app. also i'm a lot more familiar with windows
[08:02] <Brazenhead> faileas: ok, I was thinking about that option ... is there a way within grub? or maybe another bootloader that might support multiple hard drives?
[08:03] <wangf> hello
[08:03] <faileas> Brazenhead: i thought it usually just worked (tm(
[08:03] <Ants> Neatchee: you're ripping dvds?
[08:03] <`LePGeL[BoY] > faileas: windoze appz like what? the only thing i got problem with it is Photoshop cs 2. well i have GIMP in my ubuntu box
[08:03] <Neatchee> Ants: no, i'm using it for live filters on video
[08:03] <faileas> `LePGeL[BoY] : HMpro
[08:03] <Ants> Neatchee: ah, ok.
[08:03] <faileas> `LePGeL[BoY] : its a small issue, main thing is familiarity
[08:04] <Dark_Rain> Neatchee,
[08:04] <Dark_Rain> :)
[08:04] <Neatchee> All i really need is filters for a lanczos resize and a denoise
[08:04] <Dark_Rain> ffmpeg and vlc is a nice alternative
[08:04] <Neatchee> vlc supports filters?  since when?
[08:04] <Extravert> why does xsane only work with sudo?
[08:04] <`LePGeL[BoY] > <faileas>: hahaha.. im just trying to argue.. i do to am dual booting with vista :P
[08:04] <Ants> OMG, VLC is super, super sweet
[08:04] <faileas> i'm really *good* with windows. most of my linux experience comes from futzing around
[08:04] <Brazenhead> faileas: ok, thanks for the info... I'm just going to do the bios way for now I guess
[08:04] <Neatchee> i mean, i love VLC
[08:04] <Dark_Rain> i do live broadcast with VLC
[08:04] <Neatchee> just didn't think it supported filters
[08:04] <faileas> Brazenhead: check that your bios supports
[08:05] <Brazenhead> if bios doesn't support?  (I'm pretty sure that it does though)
[08:06] <`LePGeL[BoY] > totem is as sweet as VLC..
[08:06] <Brazenhead> would I be SOL?
[08:06] <Dark_Rain> `LePGeL[BoY] ,
[08:06] <faileas> Brazenhead: erm... hardware boot select XD
[08:06] <Dark_Rain> does tomem do relay?
[08:06] <faileas> AKA, unplug
[08:06] <Brazenhead> haha
[08:06] <Catoptromancy> Anyone happen to know a Video recorder for mpgs?
[08:06] <`LePGeL[BoY] > Dark_Rain
[08:06] <Catoptromancy> or Video Editor?
[08:06] <Neatchee> i don't know, Dark_Rain, ffmpeg doesn't seem to come even close to ffdshow as far as ease of use is concerned
[08:07] <Brazenhead> faileas: lol I think I'd rather repartition primary before doing that way :P
[08:07] <`LePGeL[BoY] > Dark_Rain: the only differneces are the libs.. both work the same way..
[08:07] <Neatchee> i can't afford new hardware at the moment, so i'm running on some 2-3 year old stuff, and i often have to tweak my settings frequently
[08:07] <Catoptromancy> I need make chapters for mpg and make it burn to DVD
[08:07] <Extravert> why does xsane only work with sudo?
[08:07] <faileas> 2-3 year old stuff is alright
[08:07] <Neatchee> so having to use a complicated interface (which it appears ffmpeg has) would be a huge pain
[08:07] <Brazenhead> my stuff is at least 3-4 years old now
[08:07] <Neatchee> actually, come to think of it, it's probably pushing 4 years now
[08:07] <Ants> hate to say it, but when it comes to video and codecs and things like that....windows is still the place to be
[08:07] <faileas> i once installed ubuntu on a 6-7 year old PII 233 ;p
[08:07] <Dark_Rain> Mplayer/mencoder uses the same open source codecs that are used by ffdshow, and seems to have the same functionality. (just looked at the sourceforge and handfull of pages for ffdshow)
[08:07] <faileas> *Piii 733
[08:08] <faileas> gah
[08:08] <Catoptromancy> All my Windows video programs want me to pay more money for programs I already bought
[08:08] <Dark_Rain> faileas, my first Gateway/Firewall was on a 486 DX4 - 100 MHz CPU
[08:08] <`LePGeL[BoY] > Ants: slax already got the intervideo package :P
[08:09] <foo> I want to make an ssh user who basically has a dsa key, and access to use ssh... and nothing else. Is this easily done? without making a chroot...
[08:09] <Ants> `LePGeL[BoY] :  nice...
[08:09] <kousotu> can comeone point me to a linux driver yo match this XP one: HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Gemplus\PCSC_Drivers\UltraMedia"
[08:09] <Brazenhead> I run ubuntu on my ibm thinkpad r40 ... it's like a celeron 500
[08:10] <Tech-Mike> i tried putn ubuntu on a thinkpad the other day - failed
[08:10] <Dark_Rain> Brazenhead, do you wanna sell it?
[08:10] <beerfan> kousotu: google for your hardware model number. no one knows what the windows registry crap means
[08:10] <Ants> Catoptromancy: have never even heard of those programs
[08:10] <Ants> ;-)
[08:10] <Brazenhead> haha why Dark_Rain? you lookin to buy?
[08:10] <Dark_Rain> ya
[08:10] <Dark_Rain> :D
[08:10] <qman2> I have ubuntu on my thinkpad 600, that's a pentium II 333
[08:10] <kousotu> beerfan: lol, oh, my bad
[08:10] <Ants> oh nm
[08:10] <Ants> haha
[08:10] <kousotu> beerfan: more to that INF
[08:10] <qman2> the sound is a gamble at best, but most of the hardware works alright
[08:10] <Brazenhead> haha it wasn't that hard to setup....
[08:11] <faileas> Brazenhead: thinkpads are great for linux
[08:11] <epidemik>  could someone help me install qBittorrent?   http://www.qbittorrent.org/
[08:11] <epidemik> im new to linux and dont even know where to start
[08:11] <Brazenhead> although I was having troubles with the install cd not reading fully... so I made a bootable usb drive haha that was so pimp :)
[08:11] <kousotu> %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\gtipci21.sys" <help?
[08:12] <Brazenhead> faileas: yeah for sure... when I buy my next laptop, I know which kind to get :)
[08:12] <Nicark> which kind?
[08:12] <Ants> epidemik: you want ktorrent. it rocks.
[08:12] <rrbiz> epidemik: start here > http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/
[08:12] <Brazenhead> Nicark: IBM Thinkpad
[08:12] <meezyfuh> hi. i do not have a functioning cdrom. is it possible to install from an iso file on the hd already?
[08:12] <kousotu> Nicark: who?
[08:12] <Brazenhead> I picked this one up used from my school for $500
[08:12] <epidemik> ants ktorrent wasnt working
[08:12] <epidemik> idk
[08:12] <kousotu> Nicark: nvm
[08:13] <Brazenhead> it's lasted me much longer than I would have expected
[08:13] <epidemik> ants, i went through ad remove programs and it owuldnt download
[08:13] <Nicark> i was asking Brazenhead which kind of laptop :p
[08:13] <druke> I am editing my $PATH variable in bash RC, right now I am just redoing the entire 'export' command after echo'ing $PATH in a terminal. This works great but i really don't think its the best way. I know i can concatenate the directories i want with a different command, what would that be?  thanks! ;)
[08:13] <Ants> epidemik: hm. don't know then
[08:13] <epidemik> ants ill try again...
[08:13] <Dark_Rain> so what do you say braz
[08:14] <sauvin> What do you mean by "concentrate"?
[08:14] <Dark_Rain> are we in business
[08:14] <Dark_Rain> ?
[08:14] <Dark_Rain> :>
[08:14] <Brazenhead> lol
[08:14] <spiderwor1> hi all, can anyone tell me what their /boot/grub/default file looks like?
[08:14] <Brazenhead> I did mention it's a celeron 500 right? ... and that I got it used for $500 a few years ago...
[08:14] <faileas> contaterate = join ;p
[08:14] <fatcatmatt> ...installing 377 packages
[08:14] <sauvin> Like a file of text.
[08:14] <spiderwor1> :) post the text to a pastebin?
[08:14] <sauvin> !paste
[08:15] <sauvin> where is the freaking bot?
[08:15] <Ants> ubotu paste
[08:15] <Dark_Rain> i need one for testing (electric interface testing)
[08:15] <fatcatmatt> he's eating taco bell.  search the goog
[08:15] <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)
[08:15] <Brazenhead> ohh.. there are none on ebay maybe?
[08:15] <epidemik> ants, mm now i remember, it was just gonna take a really long time to download ktorrent, 1hour, grr, i guess ill wait lol, it shouldnt be this long should it?
[08:16] <Ants> epidemik: no, not usually. what os are u in?
[08:16] <v1k1ng> anyone know how to handle .docx?
[08:16] <epidemik> ants fiesty
[08:16] <v1k1ng> is there some workaround with open office?
[08:16] <Ants> epidemik: mine installed in 2 shakes of a lamb's tail
[08:17] <Ants> vlklng: i don't think it formats properly
[08:17] <faileas> v1k1ng: i don't think they managed to get it working yet
[08:17] <spiderwor1> v1k1ng: you can unzip it and browse the contents of the document, but its a pain
[08:17] <meezyfuh> anyone idea how to install from the local hd? like, im running another OS on this other machine, which doesn't have a cd, but i can use a thumbdrive and put the iso file on it. can i install from that somehow?
[08:17] <faileas> i seem to recall it was readonly ?
[08:17] <epidemik> ants, the only reason why i dont use the one that comes with it is cause it dls so slow and i cant change the port, i guess theres something wrong with my internet (in ubuntu)
[08:17] <v1k1ng> i'm dual booting windows so I can work with this doc later i guess
[08:17] <epidemik> ants, ill work on itt later, thanks for the help though
[08:18] <v1k1ng> thanks for the response
[08:18] <v1k1ng> :(
[08:18] <Ants> Vlklng: save as .doc
[08:18] <spiderwor1> sauvin: any luck pasting that file?
[08:18] <Ants> then you won't have a problem
[08:19] <Brazenhead> ok, I'm gonna go see if I can get this studio install to boot
[08:20] <balasarius> irc.coldfront.net
[08:20] <scythetleppo> why do I have to enter my password to access my second hard drive?
[08:20] <meezyfuh> anyone? is it possible to install from an iso located on the hd of the os im currently running?
[08:21] <tenderjuicy_hotd> tes!
[08:21] <beerfan> meezyfuh: no. You could install over the network if you were clever but don't ask me for help with that.
[08:21] <spiderwor1> can someone paste the contents of their /boot/grub/default file to a pastebin please?
[08:22] <meezyfuh> beerfan: in other words unless i'm a guru i need a cd. right?
[08:22] <beerfan> you need some media that can boot and hold at least the minimal installer (10MB)
[08:22] <anonymouse> hie!
[08:23] <`LePGeL[BoY] > how can i restart audio drives in terminal?
[08:23] <fatcatmatt> scythetleppo: i had the same problem.  ended up changing permissions on it with "sudo nautilus" and have reinstalled since.  haven't had any problems and it automounts
[08:23] <Catoptromancy> woooo  devede
[08:23] <spiderwor1> wtf is an audio drive?
[08:24] <Catoptromancy> makes mpgs into dvd
[08:24] <brownie17> scythetleppo, yeah mine asks for a password, but a sudo chmod or sudo chown should fix it
[08:24] <qman2> are you sure you don't mean audio driver?
[08:24] <anonymouse> is there a way to sudo the stuff in the applications menu?
[08:24] <Ants> i don't think this should be happening, but it took three hours to rip a 1.5 hour movie yesternight with kb3
[08:24] <qman2> anonymouse: yes, open a terminal and use gksudo [appname] 
[08:24] <brownie17> Ants, seems a little slow.
[08:24] <un_dave> hey, i was wondering if anyone has any experience with expanding software raid 5 arrays ?
[08:25] <scythetleppo> brownie17: how you chmod a disk?
[08:25] <spiderwor1> can someone paste the contents of their /boot/grub/default file to a pastebin please?
[08:25] <qman2> finding the application's name can be done with ps -A at a terminal
[08:25] <scythetleppo>  mean chown
[08:25] <qman2> while the application is running
[08:25] <brownie17> scythetleppo, /media/diskname?
[08:25] <brownie17> scythetleppo, or maybe it's in /dev/hdc
[08:25] <spiderwor1> scythetleppo: well you dont, you chown the mount point
[08:25] <brownie17> scythetleppo, good luck
[08:25] <anonymouse> qman : i know but its a pain having to go to the terminal for programs in the applications menu
[08:25] <beerfan> v1k1ng: http://www.sigmundvoid.com/?p=81 make OO grok docx
[08:25] <spiderwor1> scythetleppo: is the disk mounted? if so, where?
[08:26] <qman2> anonymouse: you could create launchers for them, or possibly modify the menu items to include gksudo in front
[08:26] <playerzen> has anyone tried synergy ?  It's a virtual KVM software.  I just isntalled it on my 3 computers I hjave on my desk (2 laptops one pc)
[08:26] <playerzen> it's so cool
[08:26] <Ants> beerfan: nice link. bookmarking for myself.
[08:26] <anonymouse> qman : sounds promising...how to do that? i'm a noob!
[08:26] <kahrytan> Anyone know a good time update app ?
[08:26] <spiderwor1> playerzen: yes it's cool be beware any network lag :)
[08:26] <fatcatmatt> WOOT!  almost done downloading my 377 packages!
[08:26] <spiderwor1> also, beware cross-os crap
[08:27] <qman2> anonymouse: you can add things to the menu by going to system > preferences > menu layout
[08:27] <Kousotu> ok, I need a Texas instruments: PCIxx21/x515/xx12 driver for linuc
[08:27] <qman2> or, right-click on the desktop and choose "create launcher"
[08:27] <playerzen> spiderwor1 lol yeah... both my laptops are wireless so who knows.  Oh, two comps are windows and this is my ubuntu lappy I'm on atm
[08:27] <playerzen> with my ubuntu one in the middle
[08:27] <Kousotu> where would I find such a thing?
[08:27] <playerzen> it's working fine
[08:27] <spiderwor1> can someone PLEASE paste the contents of their /boot/grub/default file to a pastebin please?
[08:27] <v1k1ng> beerfan, lol, thanks, i just found that link too!
[08:27] <kahrytan> Anyone know a good time synchronize app?
[08:28] <beerfan> kahrytan: time syncronize app?
[08:28] <spiderwor1> playerzen: some of the niceities such as being able to copy & paste from machine to machine i've noticed stop working randomly when going from windows to linux and vice versa
[08:28] <fatcatmatt> spiderwol: how do i open it and i will
[08:28] <kahrytan> beerfan, I seem to be having issues with time synchronization. Windows and Ubuntu can't keep time
[08:28] <Neatchee> Dark_Rain: just spent some time with mplayer and ffmpeg, and I have to say it's far too cumbersome to tweak settings and get it working quite right.
[08:28] <anonymouse> i'm using xubuntu, there is no preference
[08:28] <playerzen> spiderwor1: oh, hrm.  I still have to put it through the grinder, just got it going now (pain-free)
[08:28] <Kousotu> ok, I need a Texas instruments: PCIxx21/x515/xx12 driver for linux. where can I find one?
[08:29] <spiderwor1> fatcatmatt: just open it up in any text editing program
[08:29] <Neatchee> ffdshow + zoomplayer on windows is so unbelievably simple comparatively
[08:29] <beerfan> kahrytan: that's because Linux uses GMT and Windows uses another time zone
[08:29] <Frogzoo> spiderwor1: dpkg -S /boot/grub/default
[08:29] <Dark_Rain> well it is a solution
[08:29] <Dark_Rain> :)
[08:29] <spiderwor1> fatcatmatt: if you're in gnome, i think programs > accessories > text editor... or somethin glike that
[08:29] <qman2> anonymouse: ah, sorry but I don't know much about xubuntu's layout
[08:29] <kahrytan> beerfan, Ubuntu uses timezones
[08:29] <playerzen> spiderwor1: just need to be able to alt+tab between screens and I'm set
[08:29] <qman2> anonymouse: you should still be able to create launchers to put in your panel or the desktop, though
[08:29] <spiderwor1> playerzen: yeah reall
[08:29] <anonymouse> okay i will try
[08:30] <playerzen> anonymouse, did you used to be a internet radio dj ?
[08:30] <beerfan> kahrytan: no exactly. times are stored in seconds since 1970 relative to GMT and then translated based on your timezone
[08:30] <fatcatmatt> spiderwol: wont let me open it
[08:30] <`LePGeL[BoY] > how can i restart xine in terminal without my gnome shutting off?
[08:30] <kahrytan> beerfan, Notice I said Ubuntu and not linux.
[08:30] <Neatchee> Dark_Rain: not a good enough one hahahaha.  There's also the problem of a decent podcast aggregator that integrates well with both a media player and my ipod
[08:30] <Neatchee> amarok is a wonderful wonderful media player, but it's podcast support is sorely lacking, as i recall
[08:31] <beerfan> kahrytan: guess you know more than me then
[08:31] <Neatchee> its*
[08:31] <spiderwor1> Frogzoo: unfortunately  dpkg -S /boot/grub/default won't work for me because i'm on the live cd
[08:31] <`LePGeL[BoY] > how can i restart xine in terminal without my gnome shutting off?
[08:31] <bobsomebody> yaya
[08:31] <spiderwor1> Frogzoo: i just finished installing ubuntu , performed the updates, rebooted, and not even a grub menu
[08:31] <bobsomebody> my puter talks back and forth with me now!
[08:31] <Johnson> yo can u open shell scripts from anywhere
[08:31] <bobsomebody> i say "stupid computer"
[08:31] <spiderwor1> Frogzoo: i'm just trying to figure out if something in /boot/grub became corrupted
[08:31] <bobsomebody> it says "use windows then #(&$ hole"
[08:31] <Johnson> a friend of mine wants to just type in the name of a script and then open it
[08:32] <Frogzoo> spiderwor1: not even a grb error?
[08:32] <bobsomebody> f($&* yeah perlbox rules
[08:32] <spiderwor1> Frogzoo: but if you have any other ideas i'd love to hear them
[08:32] <kahrytan> beerfan, I'm talking about Date and Time panel
[08:32] <spiderwor1> Frogzoo: not even that... the system just hangs
[08:32] <playerzen> anonymouse - I recognize your name from the old suprnova radio, could be a coincodence though.
[08:32] <bobsomebody> OMG a borg_
[08:32] <Frogzoo> spiderwor1: how many drives?
[08:32] <_freedom_> spider: where do you install grub... MBR? or else
[08:32] <spiderwor1> Frogzoo: there are 2 hd drives and a dvd drive
[08:33] <Kousotu> I need a Texas instruments: PCIxx21/x515/xx12 driver for linux. where can I find one?
[08:33] <spiderwor1> _freedom_: i installed grub wherever the default was with the graphical installer... the MBR i assume
[08:33] <beerfan> kahrytan: Ubuntu sets your system clock to a GMT time regardless of the timezone you set in your date and time panel
[08:33] <Frogzoo> spiderwor1: if you wind up with grub on both drives it can get confusing
[08:33] <beerfan> kahrytan: your timezone is just an "offset" to the gmt time
[08:34] <faileas> beefan: i don't think so, you can choose not to during install i think
[08:34] <penguincentral> 43 gutsy updates today...
[08:34] <spiderwor1> Frogzoo: yeah the other drive only has some mythtv recordings on it...
[08:34] <Moniker42> hey, what plugin do i need to play kvcd files in Movie Player?
[08:34] <beerfan> faileas: if I'm mistaken then I apologize for the misinformation
[08:34] <kahrytan> beerfan, Al I know is that it keeps being off
[08:34] <beerfan> kahrytan: IF Ubuntu is setting the system clock with GMT then that will confuse Windows
[08:35] <penguincentral> Moniker42: i don't think that you need a plugin for kvcd seeing that kvcd movies are essentially mpeg files.  Can you play kvcd files in movie player (totem btw) at the moment?
[08:35] <anonymouse> qman: okay i'm going to create a launcher the command should look like this? 'sudo wifi-radar'
[08:35] <Moniker42> penguincentral, nope
[08:35] <Frogzoo> spiderwor1: check you don't have grub on the 2nd drive with sudo dd if=/dev/sd# bs=512 count=1 | od -c  - a grub binary will show in there "G   e   o   m  \0   H   a   r   d "
[08:35] <Moniker42> penguincentral, i'd just use VLC but it's not letting me go fullscreen...
[08:35] <spiderwor1> anyways, /boot/grub/default looks suspect to me... the first chars in the file are ^0 and then about 10 line breaks... i'm thinking maybe it got currpted?
[08:35] <kahrytan> beerfan, which Windows is obviously setting system clock too
[08:35] <Frogzoo> spiderwor1: that's how it looks - leave it alone
[08:35] <penguincentral> Moniker42, do you know how to get into full screen using VLC?
[08:35] <spiderwor1> ok Frogzoo i'll give it a whirl...
[08:35] <Moniker42> penguincentral, yes
[08:36] <kahrytan> beerfan, It only happens when I log into windows.
[08:36] <beerfan> Windows sets the clock to the time relative to the offset (i.e., your local time)
[08:36] <penguincentral> moniker42: hmph, that's odd
[08:36] <Moniker42> penguincentral, i used it for months, now when i double-click or go to view>>fullscreen it just maximises the window
[08:36] <Moniker42> penguincentral, it says i need a VCD plugin for totem to play the kvcd file
[08:36] <penguincentral> moniker42, what version of VLC are you using?
[08:36] <Frogzoo> spiderwor1: you sure it's '^0' and not just plain '0' ??
[08:37] <Moniker42> penguincentral, the version in the feisty repos
[08:37] <spiderwor1> Frogzoo: will go double check
[08:37] <penguincentral> Moniker42: googling...
[08:38] <spiderwor1> Frogzoo: my bad, it's 0^@ and then around 10 line breaks...
[08:39] <penguincentral> Moniker42: um, look at http://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/mvcd-kvcd-t286448.html.  that might help

[08:41] <penguincentral> Moniker42: eh, try the forums.  it could be because that kvcd is a non standard video (just chucking in a random guess)

[08:46] <fatcatmatt> here come the updates...138 more packages
[08:47] <penguincentral> Moniker42: just about to look at ur forum post
[08:47] <Explosif> hey all
[08:47] <fatcatmatt> hi
[08:47] <beerfan> Moniker42: if it works with Ubuntu what's the issue? ;-)
[08:47] <penguincentral> Moniker42: seeing that ur sata drive works in ubuntu, it's a software issue, but what it is i dunno...
[08:48] <Moniker42> beerfan, i want to install windows
[08:48] <Moniker42> penguincentral, no
[08:48] <Moniker42> it's not recognised by the BIOS
[08:48] <Moniker42> which makes it a very weird issue :P
[08:48] <beerfan> Moniker42: try the Windows support then?
[08:48] <fatcatmatt> NNNNOOOOOO!!!!!  WINBLOWS!!!!!!
[08:48] <Dark_Rain> Moniker42, NOOOOOOO no windowsssssssss
[08:48] <Dark_Rain> NOOOOOOO
[08:48] <Dark_Rain> it is a plague
[08:48] <Samui> if windows doesn't see your SATA drive, you need to have it install a third party driver.
[08:48] <fatcatmatt> if you want windows, run it as a virtual machine!
[08:49] <Samui> it should have come on a disk with your motherboard or sata card.
[08:49] <ambrose_> hey nick rude how do u set up ur xmame-x
[08:49] <Moniker42> Samui, the problem is though - the CD doesn't get past the point where it'll let me put the SATA floppy in. if i take the drive out of the computer the windows cd boots okay (but i have no hdd to install it to)
[08:50] <Moniker42> it says "setup is inspecting your hardware configuration..." and then stalls on a black screen forever
[08:50] <Moniker42> but take the CD out, and it works fine =\
[08:50] <Moniker42> *take the HDD out
[08:50] <ambrose_> and another thing is xmame-x the only thing u have to download?
[08:50] <Samui> Dunno what to tell you, then.
[08:50] <johwil> Moniker42: could it be GRUB that are causing your troubble?
[08:50] <tico1> some one know how to install Amsn 0.97 in ubuntu dapper?
[08:51] <Moniker42> johwil, the BIOS is set to boot from CD -then- HDD so i don't think grub would have anything to do with it at that point...
[08:51] <mindframe> hrmm i can't startx.  error: "Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, removing from list!  Waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing
[08:51] <mindframe> what's this caused by?
[08:51] <fatcatmatt> i hate scrolling menus, how do i change it so it shows all the programs in 1 menu?
[08:51] <Moniker42> it could be a conflict between grub/windows
[08:51] <beerfan> tico1: dapper is old. If that's recent software you probably have dependecy issues
[08:51] <johwil> Moniker42: ok. otherwise try: http://aquariusoft.org/~johwil/Grub/
[08:51] <Moniker42> but that doesn't explain why the bios doesn't even recognise the drive :P
[08:52] <Moniker42> johwil, what is that?
[08:52] <tico1> beerfan what do you suggest me?
[08:52] <beerfan> tico1: compile it from source?
[08:52] <gordonjcp> fatcatmatt: menu editor?
[08:52] <johwil> Moniker42: it is a iso to a BRUB / MBR fixing prog
[08:53] <penguincentral> Moniker42: how's the hdd problem?
[08:53] <tico1> beerfran: but u thing is good idea update to a newer version?
[08:53] <johwil> Moniker42: I lost my winXP too
[08:53] <penguincentral> Moniker42, bad bios maybe?
[08:53] <fatcatmatt> nope, gordonjcp, didnt see an option
[08:53] <johwil> but SuperGrub.iso fixed it
[08:54] <beerfan> tico1: Ubuntu doesn't make newer software available for older releases (usually) so upgrading is an option
[08:54] <beerfan> tico1: especially for dapper since it's a long term supported version
[08:54] <it-linux> hi there, anyone can tell me how to install file_name.package in ubuntu
[08:55] <penguincentral> it-linux: what sort of package is it?
[08:55] <marlun> how do I handle multiple network locations manually? I've edited /etc/network/interfaces manually for it to work with my home network, but when I go to school I want to use the school wifi but if I go into System > Administration > Network and use that tool it destroys my settings in /etc/network/interfaces.
[08:55] <it-linux> a game thunder and lightning
[08:55] <fatcatmatt> when i activated beryl...my computer started acting funny...
[08:55] <it-linux> file name is TnL.package
[08:56] <tico1> beerfan: upgrading to feisty 7.04?
[08:56] <penguincentral> what is the program it-linux?
[08:56] <beerfan> tico1: yes, or wait until October and get Gutsy
[08:56] <it-linux> game
[08:56] <penguincentral> what is the game called it-linux?
[08:57] <it-linux> thunder and lightning
[08:57] <penguincentral> ok it-linux, give me a sec
[08:57] <it-linux> is like flying simulator
[08:57] <spiderwor1> is there any way to reinstall grub via the graphical install disc?
[08:57] <beerfan> fatcatmatt: Beryl was alpha software and has been merged back into compiz so...don't expect things to not be funny when you install it
[08:57] <tico1> beerfan: thanks so much. but maybe the problem will be the configuration of my wireless card(I'm using notebook)
[08:57] <ehc> i can do shutdown command through the command line can I do a hibernate command also? how?
[08:59] <penguincentral> it-linux: did you download from http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Thunder-and-Lightning-Download-9483.html?
[08:59] <tico1> marlun: what version do u have? try using network manager
[08:59] <beerfan> spiderwor1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[09:00] <penguincentral> it-linux: check out http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/#autopackage.  it tells you how to do it there
[09:00] <spiderwor1> oh thank you beerfan!
[09:00] <anonymouse> what is the difference between gksu, gksudo, su, and sudo?
[09:02] <gordonjcp> anonymouse: gksu and gksudo are graphical, and may have some subtle difference that I can't detect
[09:02] <it-linux> no, i download it from http://tnlgame.net/downloads/tnl/070827/Thunder%20And%20Lightning%20070827.package
[09:02] <gordonjcp> anonymouse: su allows you to actually switch your UID to that of another user (most commonly root)
[09:03] <gordonjcp> anonymouse: and sudo allows you to run a command as another user, again most commonly root
[09:04] <it-linux> Ok penguincentral, I'll try it first, thank you
[09:04] <anonymouse> okay i get it now
[09:04] <johwil> Moniker42: did you fix it?
[09:04] <anonymouse> sudo/su & gksudo/gksu are the same!
[09:05] <anonymouse> su makes my $ into # for root, rite?
[09:07] <m4st3r> hey marketability and fitness is same mean?
[09:07] <CoasterMaster> anonymouse, that's not entirely accurate
[09:08] <CoasterMaster> anonymouse, generally, you use gksudo/gksu for GUI apps and sudo for command line appls
[09:08] <John_kho> hai
[09:09] <John_kho> can someone help me with "purge" command ?
[09:10] <it-linux> penguincentral: It won't work...so confused
[09:10] <angel25_> i have 3 computers with ubuntu server 7.04 , and i want to build NETWORK , what is the best : 1 computer with ubuntu server edition + 2 desktop edition OR it doesn't matters and i can stay with 3 computers on ubuntu server ?
[09:11] <anonymouse> coastermaster - is it? i've been using sudo for gui appls as well :(
[09:11] <ikunat> Hi all.. anyone here help me with modifying a ubuntu live cd?
[09:11] <CoasterMaster> anonymouse, while it will work, it can mess up your permissions
[09:12] <ikunat> I am kind of in the middle of it and um... I am reading documentation and got lost
[09:12] <penguincentral> it-linux: i posted a link to the download site.  It offered a bzip2 download.  I think that your best bet is to install from source :(
[09:13] <overclucker> John_kho, do man apt-get | grep purge
[09:13] <astro76> angel25_, it doesn't matter, if you need a GUI install a desktop, otherwise it's all the same
[09:14] <jrsims> Is there a gui tool i can get for GRUB?
[09:14] <overclucker> John_kho, or is that not the purge you're looking for?
[09:16] <anonymouse> coastermaster - i see, but everything will be okay after a reboot, right?
[09:17] <jrsims> Is there a gui tool i can get for GRUB?
[09:17] <CoasterMaster> anonymouse, yeah, it usually doesn't cause any major problems....if everything's ok now, I wouldn't worry. just from now on, use gksudo/gksu (they are both the same) for GUI and sudo for CLI
[09:17] <spiderwor1> ok how's this for a strange pattern... everytime i reboot my feisty install, i have to reinstall grub via the installer cd
[09:17] <spiderwor1> explain that one to me
[09:18] <overclucker> spiderwor1, how about you explain why it needs reinstalled? (error codes?)
[09:19] <spiderwor1> overclucker: well i get nothing... absolutely nothing... no grub output whatsoever
[09:19] <spiderwor1> overclucker: i can apparently repair grub via the installer/live cd, then i get to boot into the installed feisty one more time... then the mbr goes bad again
[09:20] <spiderwor1> or so it seems
[09:20] <johwil> spiderwor1: try: http://aquariusoft.org/~johwil/Grub/
[09:20] <donkeet> wow surprised my internet is working..
[09:20] <overclucker> is this only with grub, or did you try other bootloaders?
[09:20] <johwil> spiderwor1:  Super GrubBootFixing Disk
[09:21] <elmo_> hello all
[09:21] <overclucker> supergrub can be a lifesaver
[09:21] <donkeet> i was playing with my screen resolution - now x wont start up anyone know how i can get it back to the default?
[09:21] <spiderwor1> overclucker: grub only so far, only just now discovered this pattern (the feisty install is all of 3 hours old so far)
[09:21] <johwil> overclucker: yes!
[09:21] <Jork> Hello Everyone.I am new in linux and I am wandering how can I uninstall Nvidia system drivers becouse I want them to install manually and how can I backup default x.org an bring them back if x crashes? Thnx
[09:21] <it-linux> hello anybody can tell me how to install *.package file?
[09:22] <overclucker> spiderwor1, and have you tried other disks?
[09:22] <spiderwor1> other disks? booting from them? no, this is a brand new disk, bought today for this very purpose
[09:22] <spiderwor1> i dont have a lot of extra hdds sitting around
[09:23] <overclucker> spiderwor1, where did u buy it?
[09:23] <donkeet> no help?
[09:23] <elmo_> could anybody tell me how to check what usb devices are plugged into my machine from a terminal?
[09:23] <Rat409> lsusb
[09:23] <spiderwor1> what i want to know is, what process writes to the mbr every boot or every shutdown?
[09:23] <anonymouse>  i suppose i am lucky i don't have any installer hiccups except i have to unmount the hdd for the partitioner to work,
[09:23] <elmo_> thanks
 right click with mouse on package file, then properties, permissions and clikc on execute to allow executing file program.
[09:24] <overclucker> spiderwor1, i can't think of any that do. .
 than double click on file i think
[09:24] <spiderwor1> overclucker: any ideas as to what could cause this irratic behavior?
[09:24] <anonymouse> coastermaster - how come when i do SU my password works, i thought i need to have the root password for it to work
[09:24] <savvas> elmo_: you mean lsusb ?
[09:25] <elmo_> yeah
[09:25] <savvas> oh er.. sorry
[09:25] <overclucker> no clue
[09:25] <donkeet> anyone i could talk to in here about display problems?
[09:25] <elmo_> that seemed to do the trick
[09:25] <CoasterMaster> anonymouse, because sudo doesn't actually log you in as root, it just lets you execute things as root
[09:25] <CoasterMaster> !sudo
[09:25] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:25] <it-linux> jork, i did it but nothing happens?
[09:25] <overclucker> but there are was to narrow down the possibilities
[09:25] <overclucker> ways*
[09:25] <nanonyme> anonymouse, and yes, you're right. if you literally use su, you need to input it root password :)
 are you using ubuntu?
[09:26] <spiderwor1> overclucker: what do you suggest?
[09:26] <overclucker> hmm
[09:26] <donkeet> Jork: know anything about display issues?
[09:26] <anonymouse> coastermaster : then someone needs to rewrite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo
[09:27] <overclucker> well booting from another disk would be my first tip,
[09:27] <nanonyme> anonymouse, no, that is correct
[09:27] <CoasterMaster> anonymouse, su is different from sudo
[09:27] <anonymouse> nanonyme : so ubuntu installs root using the same password as the user?
[09:27] <overclucker> maybe a floppy?
[09:27] <CoasterMaster> anonymouse, there is no root password
[09:27] <Jork> donket : a litlle
[09:27] <CoasterMaster> !root | anonymouse
[09:27] <ubotu> anonymouse: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[09:27] <spiderwor1> no floppy drive, but i can try another disk
[09:27] <overclucker> or thumb drive
[09:27] <nanonyme> anonymouse, read it better. it's talking about two different programs
[09:27] <nanonyme> anonymouse, su and sudo
[09:28] <anonymouse> <---- still a noob :P
[09:28] <donkeet> Jork: i was playin around with my screen resolution and now I can't start x at all, because the parameters are messed up, i just want to return them to normal
[09:28] <nanonyme> anonymouse, "Alternatively, one may become root (system administrator) by logging in as "root" or by using the su command. Becoming root requires root's password."
[09:28] <savvas> anonymouse: welcome aboard :p
[09:28] <it-linux> ofcourse jork
[09:28] <CoasterMaster> anonymouse, we all were at one point :)
[09:29] <anonymouse> so when i use 'su' when it ask for password just press enter?
[09:29] <anonymouse> coz there isn't one, right?
[09:29] <nanonyme> no
[09:29] <nanonyme> use sudo
[09:29] <CoasterMaster> anonymouse, you can't log in as root at all, the account is completely locked
[09:29] <Rat409> by default yes
[09:29] <spiderwor1> im afk, reconfiguring the boot loader
[09:29] <overclucker> heh
[09:29] <it-linux> ok jork, after I restart my x server..it run..thank you
[09:29] <nanonyme> well, yes. changing the password opens it
[09:30] <overclucker> su works for me
[09:30] <nanonyme> overclucker, depends on what the installer did
[09:30] <Rat409> me too
[09:30] <angel25_> 3 COMPUTERS (ubuntu server 7.04) >> WIRELESS ROUTER DI-524 >> ADSL MODEM , when i am entering on "PLACES - NETWORK" i cant see the other computers why ?
[09:30] <nanonyme> if it set a root password, su works just fine
[09:30] <overclucker> ah i see
[09:30] <anonymouse> okay
[09:30] <anonymouse> just kinda confused
[09:31] <nanonyme> however, some people considering root password a security risk
[09:31] <nanonyme> so it's often locked
[09:31] <nanonyme> you can check your /etc/shadow file with superuser privileges
[09:31] <anonymouse> benji@benji-linux:~$ su
[09:31] <anonymouse> Password:
[09:31] <anonymouse> root@benji-linux:/home/benji#
 Are ypu shure you have right package for ubuntu.Becouse ubuntu needs deb. or ubuntu packages
[09:31] <anonymouse> so doing that makes me a SU instead of normal user?
[09:31] <nanonyme> yes
[09:31] <CoasterMaster> nanonyme, anonymouse : the general consensus around here is to keep the root account locked
[09:31] <anonymouse> OIC! hahahahahhaha
 sorry for my broken english
[09:32] <nanonyme> CoasterMaster, i know. apparently the installer disagrees
[09:32] <anonymouse> <--- noob lvl1
[09:32] <overclucker> a 'substitute user'
[09:32] <CoasterMaster> nanonyme, really, i thought the installer locks the root account by default
[09:32] <donkeet> me too anonymouse, and until i can figure out how to get x back up im pretty stuck
 what is the name of program you want to install?
[09:32] <anonymouse> so is my 7.04 installed as root = lock or how? :S
[09:33] <nanonyme> CoasterMaster, apparently not
[09:33] <CoasterMaster> anonymouse, yes, your root account is locked, meaning you can not directly log in as root.  HOWEVER you can prepend sudo (for command line apps) or gksudo (for GNOME GUI apps) to run programs and pretend you're root
[09:33] <nanonyme> CoasterMaster, can't say for sure though. i was about to tell him how to lock root
[09:33] <donkeet> any way to get an automatic setup for display in ubuntu?
[09:34] <donkeet> without having to manually set the parameters
[09:34] <anonymouse> well the login screen i can't type root and enter, it says i kenot login thru there so i guess it is locked
[09:34] <CoasterMaster> anonymouse, yeah...the way it should be
[09:34] <elmo_> i have a usb to serial adapter that is recognised by ubuntu, how do i tell what port, if any that it has been assigned to?
[09:34] <nanonyme> ah
[09:35] <sacredheart> elmo_: Check the kernel log and see what it says
[09:35] <anonymouse> thats good to know!
[09:35] <Rat409> elmo_ : try dmesg
[09:35] <elmo_> alright
[09:35] <anonymouse> coastermaster & nanonyme u have ym/msn ?
[09:36] <overclucker> he
[09:36] <CoasterMaster> anonymouse, I have AIM, but you can send me a private message over this
[09:36] <CoasterMaster> anonymouse, you can type /msg <username> <message> to send a private message (but it's always a good idea to ask the person you're sending too to make sure it's ok)
[09:36] <greedo> hello
[09:36] <angel25_> can anyone help me please , i need the steps for building network on Ubuntu server? or link site that explain the steps?
[09:36] <nanonyme> anonymouse, if you really want to see if it's locked or not, see a file /etc/shadow. if it shows root:*:..., (* might be another character) root is locked
[09:36] <greedo> what would you suggest for backing up my workstation ?
[09:36] <anonymouse> i'm not too comfortable wif irc
[09:37] <nanonyme> anonymouse, if it shows a long string instead of *, you actually have a root password
[09:37] <donkeet> this channel has pvt msgs blocked

[09:38] <donkeet> so im stuck with the terminal
[09:38] <anonymouse> nanonyme : paste what?

[09:39] <elmo_> it says that it successfully mounted as ttyUSB0, but then says that interface 0 claimed by ftdi_sio while 'brltty' sets config #1 , then it shows that it disconnects
[09:39] <astro76> donkeet, try that
[09:39] <nanonyme> anonymouse, i told you to read /etc/shadow as superuser and see if it shows something like root:*:... on a line. it means root is locked
[09:39] <ambrose_> hey gutsy come on this month or next
[09:39] <nanonyme> anonymouse, that's the system password has file
[09:39] <anonymouse> i dunno i have two shadow files
[09:39] <Rynoo> question
[09:40] <ambrose_> does any 1 know if gutsy come out this month or next?
[09:40] <Rynoo> For some reason, now when I double click on an icon or launcher on my desktop, it doesn't open or run. I have to right-click and open it that way
[09:40] <dgjones> !gutsy | ambrose_
[09:40] <ubotu> ambrose_: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[09:40] <Rynoo> anyone know how to fix that?
[09:40] <nanonyme> anonymouse, probably the rest are backups. only one real file
[09:40] <ambrose_> yea i kno
[09:40] <anonymouse> can't open either one of them though
[09:40] <ambrose_> i ask wen does it release
[09:40] <nanonyme> anonymouse, you need to su or sudo first
[09:40] <ambrose_> not trying to be rude
[09:41] <astro76> ambrose_, read what ubotu said then :p
[09:41] <anonymouse> oic
[09:41] <nanonyme> they're protected so normal users can't read them

[09:50] <anonymouse> cool linux can see chinese characters

[09:50] <marcello> buongiorno
[09:51] <elmo_> where is the configuration file for wine?
[09:53] <qman2> is there any way to allow a non-root user bind a port? I'm trying to run an eggdrop and it's not working because it can't bind a port
[09:53] <astro76> qman2, you should be able to with ports > 1024
[09:54] <qman2> I'm using ports in the 62000 range, and it fails
[09:54] <qman2> as a user in the "admin" group
[09:54] <astro76> admin just means you can use sudo
[09:55] <qman2> hmm
[09:55] <qman2> I think it's a different problem then
[09:55] <gregshallard> I was just wondering why when I plug my notebook into the dock, why it could be pushing the cpu up to 100%
[09:55] <gregshallard> Just wondering if anyone has any ideas.
[09:55] <illovae> o/
[09:56] <wolfwalker>  What I have: celeron (coppermine) processor, 256 megs ram, Ubuntu desktop 6.10. What I want: to run an IRC chat server.
[09:56] <wolfwalker>  Is this possible?
[09:56] <savvas> qman2: eggdrop is compiled or installed with apt-get ?
[09:56] <qman2> installed with apt-get
[09:56] <gregshallard> wolfwalker, I can't see why not.
[09:56] <qman2> I think I need to set one of the IP settings as the local address
[09:56] <nanonyme> wolfwalker, depends on the user amount
[09:56] <savvas> hum
[09:56] <wolfwalker>  Less than 200
[09:56] <qman2> I had it set to the public address
[09:56] <nanonyme> wolfwalker, easily
[09:56] <nanonyme> wolfwalker, if you have fast enough a connection
[09:57] <wolfwalker>  And do you have to have a static IP to set it up?
[09:57] <nanonyme> the computer isn't a bottleneck there
[09:57] <wolfwalker>  Connection is 1.5 meg per second
[09:57] <nanonyme> might want to check dyndns
[09:57] <wolfwalker>  !dyndns
[09:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dyndns - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:57] <wolfwalker>  :/
[09:57] <nanonyme> well, google ;)
[09:57] <wolfwalker>  What is that?
[09:57] <gregshallard> Does anyone have any ideas over my problem?
[09:57] <nanonyme> dynamic hostnames you can bind to an ip address and refresh with a client
[09:58] <nanonyme> then people connect to the dynamic hostname
[09:58] <wolfwalker>  Ah
[09:59] <nanonyme> and 1.5 symmetric connection is plenty enough for anything :) i've seen some big irc networks accept users with that much...

[10:19] <un_dave> if i'm installing ubuntu on a new system, and i'm going to have a software raid setup, can i boot off the raid drive, or do i need to have a seperate normal paritiion to boot from?
[10:19] <un_dave> and if i can do both, what is best practice?
[10:19] <_johny> Can I define a shortcut for switching between keyboard language layouts?
[10:20] <un_dave> sorry _johny, i know less than you at this stage
[10:20] <_johny> un_dave: It's fine  -:) I was just asking myself
[10:21] <m0nk_> dgjones: its set to alsa
[10:21] <m0nk_> nvm:|
[10:22] <[coca1ne] > Hello everybody::)
[10:22] <|brad|> morning
[10:23] <fatcatmatt> yeah, good morning.  it's 1:25am here
[10:23] <qman2> 4:25 here ;)
[10:23] <|brad|> fatcatmatt, west coast?
[10:23] <[coca1ne] > Ive got a tiny question. i disabled the mixxer-icon in my gnome app-bar i dont know how :) - i can aktiviate the mixxer manually over applications/sound... but i have no icon in the Bar. Does anybody know how i can enable this Icon again :) ???
[10:23] <|brad|> same here qman2
[10:23] <fatcatmatt> arizona, |brad|
[10:24] <fatcatmatt> i love my ubuntu!
[10:24] <un_dave> no raid users here?
[10:25] <_johny> It would be a good idea to add this to "TODO" list, if it's not available yet..
[10:25] <[coca1ne] > does anybody know how to enable the mixxer-application-icon in die upper panel (gnome - desktop) :) ??
[10:25] <qman2> nah, partly too much hassle, partly not enough money for disks
[10:25] <fatcatmatt> coca1ne, try adding it to your sessions and open it currently
[10:26] <amunra> To get a proper refresh rate what do I do? - I am stuck in 60hz @ 1024x768 no matter what I do... - I know this monitor can do 85hz easily under 1027x768, all I want is a nice 75.. any ideas?
[10:26] <qman2> amunra: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and enter your monitor's sync range and supported resolutions
[10:26] <devasura> Is there a way by which I can connect remotely to a system though IM service (to remotly execute commands through IM)
[10:26] <|brad|> [coca1ne] , right click the bar > click add to panel
[10:26] <fatcatmatt> im buzzing on this smoke, so i am headed to bed
[10:26] <fatcatmatt> night all
[10:26] <qman2> amunra: make sure you know exactly what it supports, else you could kill it
[10:27] <knight9902> for backup my ubuntu system on dvd cds which software is good ? (i mean like in windows - ghost)
[10:27] <amunra> qman2: Yes, I have learned that the hard way.
[10:27] <_cerberus_> I just installed xdm in 6.06 (i forget the codename) to replace gdm and X no longer starts. I get no error messages but the screen flickers about 5 times before returning me to the consol. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
[10:27] <qman2> amunra: you can also do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" for a wizard-like interface, but I find editing the file quicker
[10:27] <amunra> Well when I looked at a Windows INF file.. it says 30-70H/50-160/V -- Should this apply to Linux as well?
[10:28] <amunra> I've done that twice.. advanced and medium
[10:28] <gregshallard> devasura, couldn't you open up rdc and connect?
[10:28] <[coca1ne] > |brad|: thx lol :) i knew it must be fuckin easy but i dont found the icon lol :)
[10:28] <[coca1ne] > thx fatcatmatt
[10:28] <qman2> amunra: best bet is to find the make/model of the monitor and use google to find it
[10:28] <|brad|> [coca1ne] , no prob :)
[10:28] <amunra> Even when I entered the information which I got from Windows - 30-70/50-160 --- It would still, in Gnome, not go past 60hz for 1024x768 :|"
[10:28] <qman2> amunra: did you also add the resolutions in the lower section?
[10:29] <devasura> gregshallard, If there is not way knowing the IP
[10:29] <amunra> the resolutions as... 1024x768? yes that's theer
[10:29] <amunra> there*
[10:29] <fatcatmatt> yeah, |cocaine|, im marked as away, but i'm headed to bed
[10:29] <qman2> amunra: yes, but the higher ones, as well
[10:29] <knight9902> there is ghost version for linux ?
[10:29] <_johny> j #/ubuntu-pl
[10:29] <gregshallard> Dynamic Dns..
[10:30] <|brad|> amunra, install the  xresprobe package
[10:30] <qman2> amunra: if you like, I can pastebin an xorg.conf from one of my machines with a standard 17" tube
[10:30] <gregshallard> I'm sorta trying to work out the same thing at the moment.
[10:30] <|brad|> then run sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange
[10:30] <amunra> Would be helpful
[10:30] <qman2> !pastebin
[10:30] <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)
[10:30] <|brad|> then add that to xorg.conf
[10:30] <amunra> What will Xresprobe do? - will it find the proper refresh rates?
[10:31] <amunra> Because I already have the right resolution, it's the refresh of 60hz's that's killing me.
[10:31] <devasura> gregshallard, Has anyone implemented a server program which accepts  connections  though IM
[10:32] <|brad|> amunra, if the monitor isnt being detected it needs the horiz and vert sync ranges
[10:32] <gregshallard> Not that I personally know of.
[10:32] <devasura> gregshallard, there if ISP doesnt provide reverse DNS service
[10:32] <|brad|> that will package and command will help you find it
[10:32] <amunra> Ok
[10:32] <qman2> amunra: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37080/
[10:32] <|brad|> once that imported into the xorg's config all should be well
[10:32] <|brad|> bah, i cant type this morning
[10:32] <Plantain> Hey, whenever I compile my own kernel, I always miss out drivers that I need, how can I build a kernel not unlike the ones in the repos, with most common stuff in there?
[10:33] <devasura> gregshallard, hasnt any one faced this issue. I mean if you wanted to connect to your home PC remotely. what do you do?
[10:33] <|brad|> download their .config and then edit that to suit your needs Plantain
[10:33] <amunra> qman2: Hmm that looks, except for the H/V's like my Xorg, - what Refresh rates do you get?
[10:33] <gregshallard> I know you can do it...
[10:33] <gregshallard> Just I haven't really worked out either.
[10:34] <Plantain> |brad|: Any idea where I can get their .config from?
[10:34] <|brad|> devasura, what are you trying to do?
[10:34] <stuart_> I cant start GZnome. I get a brown blank screen after login. Can someone plse help?
[10:34] <|brad|> Plantain, one sec let me take a look
[10:34] <qman2> that monitor will do (depending on resolution) 60Hz, 72Hz, and 75Hz, and sometimes 85Hz on lower ones
[10:34] <samiii> hello
[10:34] <qman2> I run it at 1152x864@75Hz
[10:34] <devasura> |bard|, I want to connect to my Home PC remotely
[10:35] <rafael__> hello people
[10:35] <devasura> |bard|, and I dont have an IP. My ISP

[10:35] <[coca1ne] > rafael__: sure no problem
[10:35] <devasura> |bard| ISP's router doest support reverse DNS
[10:35] <qman2> devasura: what type of remote connection do you need? ssh and vnc do nicely for me
[10:35] <rafael__> BoRiS666, aca hable solo el ingles
[10:35] <BoRiS666> rafael como le va
[10:36] <devasura> qman2, ssh
[10:36] <BoRiS666> ok
[10:36] <rafael__> BoRiS666, muy bien gracias.. y usted ?
[10:36] <savvas> stuart_: does ALT+F2 do anything?
[10:36] <samiii> i want to use squid on ubuntu plz guide me how can i do ??
[10:36] <rafael__> [coca1ne] , are u sure ?
[10:36] <ikunat> Anyone: I have a question about installing packages in linux
[10:36] <amunra> OK
[10:36] <BoRiS666> como entro a otros canales ?
[10:36] <stuart_> savvas: 1 moment plse
[10:36] <amunra> Time do see if this works... :)
[10:36] <rafael__> BoRiS666, /join #channel name
[10:36] <BoRiS666> thnk
[10:36] <|brad|> Plantain, http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/misc/kernel-package check that package out
[10:37] <qman2> devasura: so you have the problem that your IP is dynamic and changes too often to remember? try a free service like no-ip for free, updating, dynamic DNS
[10:37] <savvas> stuart_: ok :)
[10:37] <rdeman> folks
[10:37] <rafael__> [coca1ne] , the grub will install on the mbr  the correct paht to my external partition ? because that will not be sda or something right ?
[10:37] <rdeman> I used nvidia-settings to set my screen to 1280x1024 but after reboot it always goes back to 1024x786 ??
[10:37] <[coca1ne] > rafael__: you have to edit grub
[10:37] <|brad|> devasura, you have to have an ip. you being here is proff of that
[10:37] <devasura> qman2, dynamic dns needs to be suppported at router level at my ISP, which is not
[10:38] <rafael__> [coca1ne] , i see. and how i will know the name of my partition of the external hd ?
[10:38] <nanonyme> |brad|, are you talking to some imaginary user again? ;)
[10:38] <devasura> |bard| i get a static ip from my ISP
[10:38] <samiii> squide setting in ubuntu ??
[10:38] <savvas> stuart_: it should pop up the "run application". Try type: gnome-panel
[10:38] <[coca1ne] > rafael__ you see by installing
[10:38] <|brad|> devasura, i wish i had a static address
[10:38] <stuart_> savvas: No, the screen still is (ubuntu) brown and I have a cursor
[10:38] <nanonyme> erhm, why would ISP need to support dynamic dns?
[10:38] <[coca1ne] > rafael__ there are many manuals
[10:38] <|brad|> nanonyme, ?
[10:38] <stuart_> savvas: alt f2 doesn't have any affect
[10:38] <[coca1ne] > rafael__ its quite easy
[10:38] <qman2> my address is dynamic, but they give me the same one all the time, it only changes once a year or so, if that
[10:38] <devasura> |bard|, but dnynamic DNS resolves to my ISP's rrouter not me
[10:39] <ikunat> Anyone: once a package is installed (make, make install) am I able to get rid of everything that is in the folder i ran the install from?
[10:39] <rafael__> [coca1ne] , but need i change something on the bios ? or just editing the grub it will work ?
[10:39] <rafael__> BoRiS666, q paso ?
[10:39] <savvas> stuart_: are you typing from another computer?
[10:39] <BoRiS666> se me bloqueo esto
[10:39] <nanonyme> |brad|, just making up bad jokes...
[10:39] <rafael__> BoRiS666, tienes que escribir /join #ubuntu-ar
[10:39] <rafael__> es el canal del argentina
[10:39] <BoRiS666> ok
[10:39] <stuart_> savvas: yes, sharing a screen with 2 computers
[10:40] <devasura> |bard| I read that dynamic DNS resolution should be enabled in router, isnt it true
[10:40] <Sverre^> fun
[10:40] <[coca1ne] > rafael__ PM <-
[10:40] <rafael__> [coca1ne] , im there right now
[10:40] <rafael__> :)
[10:40] <rafael__> thanks
[10:40] <nanonyme> okay, this sounds like such a messed up conversation i'm going to eat ->
[10:41] <savvas> stuart_: ok great, first memorize 3 shortcuts: CTRL+ALT+F1 goes terminal, CTRL+ALT+F7 takes you back to the gnome, CTRL+C breaks an application. ok?
[10:41] <|brad|> devasura, are you in india?
[10:41] <devasura> |bard| ya
[10:41] <stuart_> savvas: got it
[10:41] <greg_> hmm
[10:41] <savvas> stuart_: now hit ctrl+alt+F1, login and type: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[10:42] <vich> I switched from ubuntu 32bit to 64bit, and now I get a black screen after boot
[10:42] <savvas> stuart_: it will ask for password again, it will restart gnome, see if that makes any change
[10:42] <stuart_> savvas: hang on -- I have to write that doen lol
[10:42] <savvas> vich: switch you mean you did a format and installed again?
[10:42] <|brad|> devasura, so 59.163.112.165 is not your ip address?
[10:43] <savvas> stuart_: take all the time you need :)
[10:43] <devasura> |bard|, no
[10:43] <|brad|> what is it then? something private?
[10:43] <devasura> |bard| router IP
[10:43] <|brad|> something like 192.168.x.x or 172.16.x.x ?
[10:44] <vich> yes savvas
[10:44] <devasura> |bard| ya 192.168.x.x
[10:44] <Plantain> |brad|: kernel-package is what I currently use, but I still am missing several key drivers I can't find in menuconfig
[10:44] <vich> oh I should add
[10:44] <|brad|> devasura, eww thats crappy
[10:44] <vich> it worked fine
[10:44] <vich> but then I installed the fglxr driver
[10:44] <vich> which I had done on the 32bit version fine
[10:44] <administrador> admin
[10:44] <savvas> vich: well I was about to suggest the format part.. I have no clue :)
[10:45] <vich> and that's all I did
[10:45] <|brad|> Plantain, they are missing? drivers like what ?
[10:45] <devasura> |bard| its a cisco router
[10:45] <vich> argh
[10:45] <vich> well, for synaptic to allow me to install the drivers, I assume they were the 64bit package
[10:45] <stuart_> savvas: no change, it does indeed restart gnome (I get another login graphical login screen as if I'd turned the competer on and it had delivered me to the login screen)
[10:45] <Plantain> |brad|: bcm and touchpad drivers (in my case airport extreme + apple touch pad)
[10:45] <administrador> hay alguien
[10:45] <vich> I checked the config
[10:45] <savvas> vich: did you try to restart gnome?
[10:45] <vich> yes
[10:45] <vich> multiple times
[10:45] <stuart_> savvas: still just brown screen and cursor after entereing login details
[10:45] <vich> ctrl-alt-backspace ?
[10:45] <vich> reboot
[10:45] <greg_> Anyone good with vnc viewer?
[10:45] <vich> etc
[10:46] <|brad|> Plantain, they are there... sometimes it takes me a while to find things in there.
[10:46] <|brad|> Plantain, they have to be in there
[10:46] <devasura> |bard|, have you never heard any one inplementing remote connection using IM
[10:46] <vich> I'm not sure where to go from here
[10:46] <savvas> stuart_: have you tried logging in with the gnome safe mode session?
[10:46] <|brad|> well what i was saying to do anywyas.. was to load ubuntu's .config then take out what you dont need
[10:46] <vich> I could revert back to the default drivers, but then I can't do the pretty stuff I crave
[10:46] <Plantain> |brad|: I know, but I've searched and searched, even followed guides that say where they should be, but they never are :S
[10:46] <stuart_> savvas: is that just a terminal session?
[10:46] <devasura> |bard|, Can it be implemented?
[10:47] <stuart_> savvas: hang on, ill reboot
[10:47] <savvas> stuart_: no, it disables several startup stuff i think
[10:47] <savvas> stuart_: no need
[10:47] <savvas> stuart_: do what you did before, restart gnome and select the session before logging in
[10:47] <|brad|> devasura, i have no idea. ive never known anyone that had a non routerable address like that. ive heard of it never had experience with it. search dslreports.com
[10:48] <|brad|> freaking crap i can not type... wth
[10:48] <greg_> Can anyone help me with vncviewer?
[10:48] <savvas> vich: ctrl+alt+F1 takes you into console if it helps you do anything manually.. ctrl+alt+f7 takes you back :)
[10:48] <|brad|> greg_ just ask.
[10:49] <amunra> Ahh, 75HZ refresh at last :) - Thanks for the help guys.
[10:49] <devasura> |bard|, thanks anyway, Is it disadvantageous for ISP to allow  routable address
[10:49] <bXi> any prefered html/php editors?
[10:49] <greg_> trying to get the -via command working
[10:49] <greg_> can the gateway be an address, say fred.bob.com
[10:49] <turbotoast> hey guys, just downloaded kiba-dock via svn on ubuntu...can someone point out to me what I have to do to compile it?
[10:50] <|brad|> devasura, they save money on ip space doing things like that
[10:50] <stuart_> savvas: too late, i selected the "recovery" option - did not see a safe mode option  -- I'm now at a root prompt. Is that what you meant?
[10:50] <|brad|> amunra, what was the fix action?
[10:50] <stuart_> savvas: or is the safe mode an option from the grpahical login screen?
[10:50] <devasura> |bard|, thanks I will search for other options if any
[10:51] <|brad|> devasura, dslreports has a lot of good info
[10:51] <_johny> How can I switch between keyboard layouts using a shortcut?
[10:51] <savvas> stuart_: exactly, you select it in the graphical screen
[10:51] <stuart_> savvas: rather from the Grub boot loader menu i mean
[10:51] <devasura> |bard|, ya going though it!!!
[10:51] <stuart_> savvas: ok, hang on
[10:51] <|brad|> devasura, ok cool
[10:51] <savvas> stuart_: ok :)
[10:51] <devasura> |bard|, thanks
[10:51] <amunra> |brad| xresprobe seemed to correct me, my max V was 150, not 160 as I earlier had it - thank god I did not break anything :)
[10:52] <|brad|> amunra, :)
[10:52] <|brad|> devasura, not a problem
[10:53] <amunra> But why is it on some monitors Ubuntu detects everything correctly the first time around yet on others it is so far off?
[10:53] <turbotoast> hey, could someone maybe help me installing kiba-dock?
[10:53] <vich> [18:48]  <savvas> vich: ctrl+alt+F1 takes you into console if it helps you do anything manually.. ctrl+alt+f7 takes you back :)
[10:53] <vich> yeah, not even that would work
[10:53] <vich> but thanks anyway
[10:53] <amunra> I have heard that "DDC" has something to do with it, any truth to that?
[10:53] <vich> I'm going to reboot to ubuntu now and try
[10:53] <|brad|> amunra, do you have an exotic monitor?
[10:53] <amunra> |brad| Yes I am quite affluent
[10:53] <amunra> haha
[10:53] <qman2> amunra: glad you got it working...personally, I can't stand to look at a 60Hz tube for more than a minute or two
[10:53] <amunra> No, if by exotic you mean horribly cheap, then yes - very much so :P
[10:54] <|brad|> haha
[10:54] <amunra> qman2, Same here.. it literally gives me a headache :(
[10:54] <stuart_> savvas: no difference to non-safe mode -- still brown with cursor
[10:54] <|brad|> popular hardware seems to have better support for obvious reasons
[10:54] <amunra> some people are lucky.. they do not notice the flickering
[10:54] <nikolam> everything below 85hz is unpleasant experience
[10:54] <savvas> stuart_: ok ctrl+alt+f1, login, type: gnome-panel
[10:55] <amunra> I have it at 75 at the moment, 85 is an option.. but for this evening at least I am not going to "push it" :)
[10:55] <qman2> lucky for me, LCDs don't blink between refreshes, so the problem doesn't exist ;)
[10:55] <amunra> ;)
[10:55] <|brad|> 75 is fine... thats what i run at.  your eyes cant even notice the jump to 85hz
[10:55] <nikolam> Lcd do things differently. Crt is different story
[10:55] <qman2> depends, everyone's eyes are different
[10:55] <amunra> |brad|, Some people can, but not much.. I can't
[10:56] <nikolam> |brad| I can shurely notice :)
[10:56] <qman2> some people can't even see the flashing effect at 60Hz
[10:56] <amunra> I see no difference between 75/85, but I see a big difference between 60 and even 72
[10:56] <stuart_> savvas: "cannot open display"
[10:56] <gordonjcp> qemu ftw, incidentally
[10:56] <_johny> How can I switch between keyboard layouts using a shortcut?
[10:56] <gordonjcp> great for test environments
[10:56] <|brad|> id go blind looking at 60hz all day
[10:56] <nikolam> I need advice
[10:56] <amunra> If you see the flickering at 60, does that mean you have good eyesight.. or bad? :D
[10:57] <savvas> stuart_: what did you do exactly before this problem appeared? installed a graphics driver?
[10:57] <qman2> _johny: you could set up a script with xbindkeys, but there may be an easier way, I'm not sure
[10:57] <|brad|> nikolam, what do you need help with
[10:57] <amunra> I wonder.. since it's my favorite yet it lacks a 'screen' control center... will XFCE keep my Gnome refresh settings?
[10:57] <|brad|> err advice on
[10:57] <amunra> ...
[10:57] <stuart_> savvas: I honestly can't remember now - was about a week ago
[10:57] <amunra> Actually I'll just try
[10:57] <amunra> brb
[10:57] <stuart_> savass: There are some similarities with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=259375
[10:58] <_Jaak_> When using compiz mode, opensource ati drivers (x600), my computer hangs every now and then, everything freezes except my mouse pointer, Even ctrl-alt-backspace doesnt work... Is there anything i should change in my xorg.conf?
[10:58] <nicio> i have firefox playing flash videos but konqueror not playing them(im on feisty 7.04 kubuntu)
[10:58] <|brad|> eww ati
[10:58] <DSpair> Morning all. Got a question about VPNC
[10:58] <savvas> stuart_: same graphics card? ati?
[10:58] <|brad|> what the heck is vpnc
[10:58] <qman2> |brad|: I couldn't agree more
[10:59] <stuart_> savvas: no hardware changes since installation -- Nvidia card
[10:59] <|brad|> qman2, i hope amd takes care of the driver problem
[10:59] <qman2> yeah, one could only hope
[10:59] <qman2> ati's windows drivers are just as bad
[10:59] <DSpair> When I manually configure vpnc using the /etc/vpnc/*.conf files and place the "Vendor cisco" and "Nat Traversal Mode cisco-udp" lines into the config, it works fine. How can I replicate this functionality using the network connection manager?
[10:59] <nikolam> _Jaak_ for all newer Ati cards, use fglrx driver
[11:00] <Dark_Rain> nicio, ???
[11:00] <nicio> lol
[11:00] <nikolam> qman2: who cares about windows :)
[11:00] <Dark_Rain> i don't understand jap man?
[11:00] <Dark_Rain> =))
[11:00] <nikolam> I have a question :)
[11:00] <nikolam> I want to install Iceape from debian and it needs some librarios that I don`t have here in 7.04. How should I go ? Should I add debian repository in synaptic or just add gutsy and stay with 7.04 version in synaptic (while installing app is looking for libraries there).
[11:00] <xp_killer> Dark_Rain: lol
[11:00] <qman2> well, some of us can't ignore windows entirely, unfortunately
[11:00] <stuart_> savvas: i remember a year or so ago on an older version of Ubuntu i think i had a similar problem. And it turned out to be something like the display manager thought it was already running and i had to edit a config file to "unlock it". Is that vague enough to help lol?
[11:01] <_Jaak_> nikolam, i use the 'ati' driver, fglrx drivers doesn't support aiglx right?
[11:01] <xp_killer> it seems ubuntu have more people
[11:01] <xp_killer> the kubuntu
[11:01] <_johny> QMario: It works by typing left alt + right alt
[11:01] <xp_killer> than*
[11:01] <DSpair> nikolam: Why not compile it from source or get the Debian source package and recompile for Ubuntu?
[11:01] <savvas> stuart_: go ctrl+alt+f1, and try this: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep "nv"
[11:01] <nikolam> _Jaak_ right, but you can use xgl :)
[11:01] <_johny> QMario: Only with aplet active though
[11:01] <savvas> stuart_: does it say Driver "nvidia" or "nv"?
[11:02] <viktor_> hey, i want my mp3 files to be automaticly opened by xmms ant not toem player, how do i do that?
[11:02] <nikolam> DSpair: beacouse I need to recommend programs and OS I am using to someone. I dont expect everyone to compile. I want to do it in the system way.
[11:02] <stuart_> savvas: "nvidia"\
[11:03] <nikolam> I have program to run. Ok. how to install without braking system I currently use?
[11:03] <DSpair> nikolam: Then I would recommend waiting for the release of Gutsy.
[11:03] <_Jaak_> nikolam, but i want to use compiz, btw the official ati driver sucks, video playback is very bad...
[11:03] <stuart_> savvas: I did install some stuff, but probably didnt notice the problem until i logged out (may have been severeal days later) and could get back in
[11:04] <xp_killer> viktor_: right clic an mp3 file>propeties>there's a little icon look like a key click on it
[11:04] <savvas> stuart_: did you try and install beryl/compiz stuff?
[11:04] <stuart_> savvas: i can't remember what that stuff was, but it may have included support for 3d effects
[11:04] <savvas> stuart_: heh.. hold a sec
[11:04] <nikolam> _Jaak_ I use compiz. And everything from default 7.04 packages. Use fglrx, then xgl and finally compiz. Everything install from Synaptic
[11:04] <viktor_> xp_killer: thanks ill try
[11:05] <stuart_> savass: I may have clicked enable 3d desktop and installed whatever it told me too. If i did... it worked fine as I said until one day i restarted and couldnt log in
[11:05] <savvas> stuart_: go in console again and type: sudo apt-get remove --purge beryl* emerald*
[11:05] <savvas> stuart_: tell me if it removes anything, if it asks, hit "y"
[11:05] <stuart_> sacass: ok
[11:05] <stuart_> savass: ok
[11:05] <nikolam> _Jaak_ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=compiz&titlesearch=Titles
[11:05] <qman2> I had xgl/compiz running on my crappy dell laptop, celeron M, 256MB RAM, intel 810 graphics
[11:06] <savvas> ok ok :p
[11:06] <xp_killer> stdin:lol u all over the place.same question. i got firefox to play the flash but konqueror not playing them
[11:06] <viktor_> xp_killer: thanks i got it
[11:06] <|brad|> nikolam, DSpair is right... it looks like there is gonna be a package for gusty
[11:06] <xp_killer> viktor_: :)
[11:07] <nikolam> |brad| gutsy is so unstable now. I know i installed and run it for a month. I just need install of a program on current install. Is it that hard?
[11:07] <DSpair> nikolam: I know there is a package for Gutsy as I am using it.
[11:07] <|brad|> lol
[11:08] <|brad|> anyone ever mess with ubuntu on a sparc?
[11:08] <stuart_> savvas: no promts -- some output (scrolls up off the screen) ending in the line "E: Couldn't find package beryl*"
[11:08] <DSpair> nikolam: The dependencies would make it very difficult.
[11:08] <nikolam> But if I try to install Iceape on 7.04, I gett dependencies errors. how to avoid it: By adding gutsy as a repository? Is it ok from stability perspective of 7.04? will it brake my 7.04? Should i add Debian?
[11:09] <bobsomebody> is there a command to mute sound on Ubuntu Gnome?
[11:09] <DSpair> nikolam: No, it's not going to be stable.
[11:09] <nikolam> uhhh
[11:09] <DSpair> nikolam: Heck, I'm running full blown Gutsy and it's not stable yet.
[11:09] <wilsonm6> hi, i need to build a linux version that can just load a browser and have flash support, and needs to be pretty small. can any one push me in a good direction?
[11:09] <nikolam> So if I want to add some newer libraries for some program, I need to reinstall whole system?
[11:10] <anonymouse> damn....burning a dvd now and i hardly feel any lag on my system :)
[11:10] <DSpair> My wireless connection drops like 10 times a day and my X server crashes at least 2 times a day. Also, DBUS has some issues.
[11:10] <|brad|> DSpair, thats crappy
[11:10] <xp_killer> DSpair: lol
[11:10] <bobsomebody> DSpair, sounds like my Dell Laptop running beryl on 8M ATI :P
[11:10] <DSpair> |brad|: Well, it's not all that bad with other hardware, it's just that my laptop is so new that it has issues.
[11:10] <|brad|> nikolam, libs are not something that should be messed with a whole lot
[11:11] <savvas> stuart_: ok try this: sudo apt-get remove --purge beryl beryl-core emerald emerald-themes
[11:11] <nikolam> DSpair: That is why I am on 7.04 I need to do some work sometimes..
[11:11] <stuart_> savass: ok
[11:11] <DSpair> The real issue is this damnable Intel 4965 A/G/N card.
[11:11] <wilsonm6> i need to build a linux version that can just load a browser and have flash support, and needs to be pretty small. can any one push me in a good direction?
[11:11] <|brad|> DSpair, ah... i was suprised that 7.04 worked so well for me on my laptop.
[11:11] <xp_killer> savvas:  i got firefox to play the flash but konqueror not playing them why?
[11:11] <DSpair> And the AC268 Sound card.
[11:11] <bobsomebody> DSpair, get a cooling pad
[11:11] <savvas> wilsonm6: damn small linux
[11:11] <wilsonm6> savvas: smaller
[11:11] <DSpair> bobsomebody: Huh?
[11:12] <|brad|> DSpair, wow sounds like an expensive laptop
[11:12] <amunra> bobsomebody, You seriously ran Beryl on 8MB's?....
[11:12] <xp_killer> !ohmy | savvas
[11:12] <ubotu> savvas: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:12] <bobsomebody> DSpair, 80% of wireless issues on laptops are because the cards have a thermal switch
[11:12] <amunra> I tryed Beryl on a Radeon 7000, it was horrible
[11:12] <amunra> tried*
[11:12] <DSpair> |brad|: Nah, Toshiba's aren't that expensive, and they are VERY durable.
[11:12] <nikolam> wilsonm6: Go for Xubuntu. it is smaller, needs less memory and have everything you need
[11:12] <bobsomebody> amunra, swear to god the bios says 8M video ram
[11:12] <savvas> xp_killer: it's a debian-based linux release - try google it :)
[11:12] <amunra> bobsomebody, Damn...
[11:12] <|brad|> DSpair, i used to have a toshiba... it lasted 9 days
[11:12] <bobsomebody> it runs fine too
[11:12] <bobsomebody> a little slow
[11:12] <xp_killer> amunra: ati card beryl works beter for 9200 and up
[11:12] <wilsonm6> nikolam: i was thinking that, but i need it smaller. i just don't know what i can and can't remove
[11:12] <bobsomebody> not glitchy though
[11:13] <amunra> wilsonm6, What about DSL?
[11:13] <bobsomebody> amunra, its an inspiron 1100 too (like 2-3 years old maybe more)
[11:13] <amunra> xp_killer, Yeah that is what I was thinking.. but anyways for Linux I prefer Nvidia, period.
[11:13] <DSpair> |brad|: This is my 7th Toshiba, and they have all been through Hall and back for me without skipping a beat. I had one that fell into a cooler of ice water, and after drying for about 24 hours booted right up.
[11:13] <wilsonm6> amunra: i still need to get it smaller than that, i just need to know what i can strip from it
[11:13] <amunra> bobsomebody, So did you wait.. 8 minutes between window exchanges :)
[11:13] <bobsomebody> |brad|, toshiba kicks a$s
[11:13] <bobsomebody> amunra, nope
[11:13] <|brad|> DSpair, lol
[11:14] <amunra> wilson, Almost everything..
[11:14] <sixthz> hello, can anyone help me? my power got cutted out for like a min or two and when i start my computer up again i get this error msg of grub in stage 1.5 ... can anyone help please ?
[11:14] <bobsomebody> i cant record the actions it makes
[11:14] <stuart_> savvas: all feedback was "not installed, so not removed". Also after saying 0 upgrade, 0 installed, 0 removed, it says 1 not upgraded
[11:14] <amunra> wilsonm6, Linux is not really a 'system' it's a kernel pretty much with programs around it - unlike... umm BSD which always has a 'base'
[11:14] <nikolam> wilsonm6: Hmm, what is th emachine? You can try DSL (Damn small linux) But I assure you that Xubuntu worked fine on my PIII-700 384MB ram and used no more then 100-on boot for system
[11:14] <|brad|> i just bought a gateway... it was on sale at best buy.
[11:14] <amunra> wilsonm6, How small do you wish to go?
[11:14] <DSpair> |brad|: Had another one that I forgot was on top of my Explorer and it flew off of the roof at 35 MPH and skidded into the curb (it was 3 days old). The housing cracked a little, but other than that it worked fine.
[11:14] <bobsomebody> best buy sucks
[11:15] <bobsomebody> everything i buy from them breaks or dosent work
[11:15] <anonymouse> what is beryl?
[11:15] <bobsomebody> surprisingly walmart seems to get the good stuff
[11:15] <brownie17> does anyone know where i can find a package called 'xpm-devel'?
[11:15] <|brad|> wilsonm6, there is a version of slackware that can fit on a thumb drive... i cant remembe what its called...
[11:15] <amunra> niko, I used XUbuntu on a PII worked pretty good
[11:15] <Moniker42> DSpair, you drove off with a COMPUTER on the roof of your car?
[11:15] <savvas> stuart_: ok hold a sec
[11:15] <wilsonm6> amunra: original goal was <43M, now, anything thats small. Eventually it's to be a livecd
[11:15] <bobsomebody> anonymouse, go google pics search or youtube search it
[11:15] <stuart_> savass: k
[11:15] <DSpair> Moniker42: A laptop.
[11:15] <amunra> I was surprised.. - I actually use XFCE all the time - but mostly on Debian
[11:15] <Moniker42> i mean, i've seen it done with pastries before... but a computer?!
[11:15] <|brad|> wilsonm6, i think it used to be called zipslack... cause it could fit on a zip drive
[11:15] <amunra> wilson, DSL is like 50megs
[11:16] <xp_killer> amunra: me i perfer ati most of the time linux come with the drives nvidea u have to install them manualy and it doesnt go with some option like one in beryl people who has problem with the cube with a white screen should deactivat the option... that is for nvidea
[11:16] <bobsomebody> DSL is no 50megs :P
[11:16] <anonymouse> i have used beatrix b4, not bad
[11:16] <amunra> So perhaps your best bet is to take a look at what DSL uses
[11:16] <stdin> brownie17: probably libxpm-dev
[11:16] <nikolam> wilsonm6: Get minimal CD and alternate cd and install just things you need
[11:16] <bobsomebody> lol
[11:16] <amunra> bobsomebody, NO?
[11:16] <k1gwb> I've tried the forums but havent reeally found anything conclusive regarding my laptop's built-in SD reader.     "00:09.1 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ711M1/MC1 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus Controller (rev 20)"...any thoughts?
[11:16] <|brad|> DSpair, thats crazy. we just got in some toughbooks at work... those things are nuts
[11:16] <bobsomebody> its like 1.5
[11:16] <stuart_> savass: the one thing im sure of it that i didnt do anything "weird" - just using standard repositories etc
[11:16] <amunra> 1.5?
[11:16] <bobsomebody> in the US it is
[11:16] <amunra> As in gigs?
[11:16] <wilsonm6> nikolam: is that the ubuntu alternate cd?
[11:16] <amunra> Naw
[11:16] <bobsomebody> 1.5 MB to 3 MB
[11:16] <amunra> Damn Small Linux
[11:16] <mikes`> the old thinkpads were pretty sturdy
[11:16] <amunra> Not DSL connections :P
[11:16] <nikolam> wilsonm6: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD?highlight=%28minimal%29
[11:16] <bobsomebody> oh
[11:16] <|brad|> yea, dsl is pretty cool too
[11:16] <bobsomebody> lol
[11:17] <amunra> lol
[11:17] <DSpair> Heck, I currently have 3 laptops at my disposal. I have a Dell Latitude D610 from work, a Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet, and my personal Toshiba Satellite A206.
[11:17] <bobsomebody> i was like WTF?
[11:17] <bobsomebody> GTFO
[11:17] <bobsomebody> lol
[11:17] <amunra> bobsomebody, I would love a 50mb connection
[11:17] <amunra> lol
[11:17] <bobsomebody> fuck yeah
[11:17] <sixthz> hello, my power got shut down all the sudden for like a min or two and when i start my computer up again i get this error msg of grub in stage 1.5 ... can anyone help me?
[11:17] <bobsomebody> ops sorry
[11:17] <bobsomebody> *$&# yeah!
[11:17] <anonymouse> !beryl
[11:17] <amunra> bobsomebody, Let's not get too excited =P
[11:17] <ubotu> beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[11:17] <DSpair> sixthz: Try booting into one of the recovery options.
[11:17] <cruocitae> After booting the Feisty CD and selecting Start or install I get an "out of range" message on my monitor (a BenQ fp71g+). It works pretty well with Windows, and also worked well with FreeBSD, NetBSD, Slackware, Dapper and a handful of other distros, though older releases. What should I do?
[11:17] <JosefK> sixthz, was that during an update, installation or normal usage?
[11:17] <sixthz> DSpair: how?
[11:17] <wilsonm6> nikolam: thanks i'll give that a try now
[11:18] <sixthz> JosefK: normal usage
[11:18] <bobsomebody> amunra, http://x.jaywebdesigns.com/i_win.avi (how could i not get excited about 50mb connection?)
[11:18] <sixthz> im currently on livecd
[11:18] <DSpair> sixthz: You don't get the boot menu?
[11:18] <savvas> stuart_: try: sudo apt-get install --reinstall metacity && sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[11:18] <JosefK> sixthz, out of interest, does grub get as far as loading its menu?
[11:18] <stdin> cruocitae: try with the safe graphics mode
[11:18] <bobsomebody> amunra, (thats my office, it um, "talks" too)
[11:18] <sixthz> nope it doesnt JosefK
[11:18] <sixthz> DSpair: nope..
[11:18] <stuart_> savass: ok
[11:18] <DSpair> sixthz: Hrrrmmm . . .
[11:18] <nikolam> wilsonm6: I`ll suggest to get also alternate cd and add it to apt sources list. To save yourself from much download.
[11:19] <DSpair> sixthz: You can boot from the Ubuntu CD and repair it by hand, but that may be a bit involved.
[11:19] <amunra> bobsomebody, Very nice indeed
[11:19] <bobsomebody> thats when i first put it together
[11:19] <JosefK> sixthz, that sounds fairly nasty.  you can run 'sudo fdisk -l' from the livecd, then mount your drives properly somewhere in /mnt, but like DSPair said, that's involved
[11:19] <bobsomebody> looks totally different now :P
[11:19] <k1gwb> greg@gwb02:~$ w
[11:19] <k1gwb>  04:16:49 up 81 days,  8:37,
[11:19] <bobsomebody> but u get the idea, lol
[11:19] <k1gwb> I don't think you can do that with windows!
[11:19] <nikolam> bobsomebody: Wow, 50 mBit.. :)
[11:19] <anonymouse> does my 7.04 have beryl? how to use it?
[11:19] <cruocitae> stdin, will try it. If doesn't work, will be back in a minute.
[11:19] <sixthz> DSpair: any manual or something? i perfer involved on formatting
[11:19] <bobsomebody> nikolam, no not yet :P, just a 6/3 line
[11:19] <JosefK> k1gwb, unfortunately, you can :(
[11:20] <bobsomebody> perlbox-voice is 100% pure win
[11:20] <bobsomebody> lol
[11:20] <DSpair> sixthz: Not really. It's more of a "I know what the heck I'm doing" sort of thing.
[11:20] <bobsomebody> my computer says "all your bases are belong to us" if you say "work stupid"
[11:20] <amunra> hmm
[11:20] <amunra> Anyone know how 'safe' Gnome's keyring is?
[11:21] <nikolam> anonymouse: everyone is saying not to use beryl but compiz-fusion. See #compiz-fusion channel for details
[11:21] <bobsomebody> amunra, about as safe as your password is
[11:21] <brownie17> stdin, apt-get says libxpm-dev in the newest version, but ./configure on a game called xrally ouputs this "configure: error: You don't have the Xpm libraries/includes. Please get the package xpm-devel from your linux distribution."
[11:21] <amunra> bobsomebody, Excellent.
[11:21] <sixthz> DSpair: maybe you can help me doing it step by step? because i dont know what the heck im doing ..
[11:21] <bobsomebody> amunra, ssl seems to help :P
[11:21] <amunra> haha
[11:21] <crolle17> how to find out if a vpnc is running?
[11:21] <crolle17> i tried vpnclient stat, but that command is not known
[11:21] <nikolam> bobsomebody U got 3Mbit Up? :))
[11:21] <brownie17> amunra, is your nick something to do with egyptian gods?
[11:21] <stuart_> savass: "1 not upgraded"  Same brown screen and cursor
[11:22] <bobsomebody> nikolam, yeah, cable
[11:22] <DSpair> sixthz: Not a chance... It's something you have to do yourself. It's a "feel your way" sort of thing that isn't easy to explain.
[11:22] <anonymouse> thanks!
[11:22] <nikolam> bobsomebody Lucky you ;,)
[11:22] <bobsomebody> its a residential line that "knows" if there is a router on the other end
[11:22] <bobsomebody> so its hard to work with
[11:22] <DSpair> crolle17: Type "ifconfig" at a command prompt;
[11:22] <amunra> brownie17, Yes why?
[11:22] <bobsomebody> linux solved that
[11:22] <bobsomebody> masq FTW
[11:22] <bobsomebody> stupid comcast
[11:22] <brownie17> amunra, it REALLY makes me wanna watch that movie, 'the mummy'
[11:22] <amunra> brownie17, Hahaha
[11:22] <bobsomebody> plus i get a pseudo-static ip :P
[11:23] <amunra> It was a good movie
[11:23] <DSpair> bobsomebody: I've been reading about their "RST" method of traffic shaping. Hilarious.
[11:23] <bobsomebody> blocked comcast from talking to the box on any port thats not DNS related
[11:23] <savvas> stuart_: it didn't upgrade?
[11:23] <sixthz> DSpair: but i dont know anything.. so whats up with that
[11:23] <stdin> brownie17: look in the config.log for the file it's looking for
[11:23] <bobsomebody> DSpair, its completely dumb-tarded technology
[11:23] <savvas> stuart_: did it reinstall metacity?
[11:23] <DSpair> sixthz: I wish I could explain it to you, but without doing it myself, I couldn't tell you the steps.
[11:23] <bobsomebody> DSpair, so now for like $30 bucks I get a huge pipe and a static ip :P
[11:23] <stuart_> savvas: i think so, but it said 1 not upgraded
[11:24] <stuart_> savass: should i be doing an apt-get upgrade or something?
[11:24] <DSpair> bobsomebody: Insight here in the Midwest is giving out 10MBit pipes for like $25.
[11:24] <brownie17> stdin, where's that stored? in the folder of the source i'm trying to compile?
[11:24] <sixthz> DSpair: okay, thanks anyways.
[11:24] <savvas> stuart_: nope, wait a sec
[11:24] <bobsomebody> comcast = error: 1d-10-tx1337
[11:24] <stuart_> savass: k
[11:24] <DSpair> sixthz: I wish I could help you more.
[11:25] <stdin> brownie17: yeah
[11:25] <bobsomebody> 10Mbit where???
[11:25] <bobsomebody> lol
[11:25] <DSpair> bobsomebody: I live in Southern Indiana (Near Louisville, KY).
[11:25] <bobsomebody> i would love that, they have it in the metro areas cheap
[11:25] <c0de> hi
[11:25] <bobsomebody> but im in this rich-hole beach town thats like 5k pop
[11:26] <c0de> anybody out there knowing something about xfs (x font server)?
[11:26] <bobsomebody> so we dont get much for choices :(
[11:26] <DSpair> sixthz: To be completely honest, I just don't know it well enough to explain it.
[11:26] <c0de> hmm ok :)
[11:26] <bobsomebody> DSpair, im in central east cost fl
[11:26] <DSpair> bobsomebody: How's the job market there?
[11:26] <bobsomebody> not as great as it sounds o.O
[11:26] <bobsomebody> sucks
[11:26] <c0de> i will still post my problem :)
[11:27] <bobsomebody> DSpair, but, im thinking of pushing in home open-source support
[11:27] <|brad|> bobsomebody, howd you manage the pseudo-static ip address thing... the modem gets the address no?
[11:27] <c0de> i have a scenario where a linux box must connect per xdmcp to hpux
[11:27] <bobsomebody> |brad|, yeah, but only if there is a computer plugged in
[11:27] <c0de> _and_ to solaris
[11:27] <bobsomebody> |brad|, so if it dosent see the computer it dosent seem to mess with it
[11:28] <c0de> but i can only set 1 xfs
[11:28] <c0de> so i thought i set up 1 linux, playing xfs
[11:28] <bobsomebody> |brad|, i assume this is there way of maintaining internal-structure computer IP's in the DHCP range
[11:28] <DSpair> bobsomebody: When I was at LinuxWorld this year I got like 20 job offers in the San Jose/Santa Clara area, but it's WAY too expensive to live there.
[11:28] <c0de> but i have to tell this box that it has to ask to other fontservers for fonts
[11:29] <bobsomebody> DSpair, really? i need to go to some conventions
[11:29] <c0de> so it would  be a kind of xfs-gateway
[11:29] <bobsomebody> i can program 8 damn languages and have DOS to now experience
[11:29] <c0de> is this possible?
[11:29] <DSpair> bobsomebody: There's a company called Pentaho based out of Orlando that offered me a job, but I don't think they're going to last much longer.
[11:29] <bobsomebody> not even radioshack would hire me in this town
[11:29] <bobsomebody> i was like WTF? u stupid?
[11:29] <c0de> what fonts does xfs provide? all fonts given in xorg.conf?
[11:29] <DSpair> bobsomebody: They do Open-Source Java Business Intelligence software.
[11:29] <|brad|> bobsomebody, so you are saying the modem only gets an address if there is a computer attached to it?
[11:30] <savvas> stuart_: go in the console again, tell me if this returns anything: locate beryl
[11:30] <bobsomebody> |brad|, it wont DHCP you unless it sees the computer on behind it
[11:30] <|brad|> DSpair, not when you have big guys like GD and Raytheon in the arena
[11:30] <booster> hey guys anyone in here ever tried the ubuntu ulimate gamers edition 1.4 ???
[11:31] <amunra> How can I make /mnt read/writable by me the user.. instead of only SU/Root?
[11:31] <amunra> chown... recursive?
[11:31] <DSpair> |brad|: That's not really their market. The GD and Ratheons are too expensive for mid-tier companies. Even Business Objects is too expensive, but JasperSoft and Talend have better products in that price range.
[11:31] <SlimeyPete> chmod -R a+rw, amunra
[11:31] <ed-dahhak> hi....a question about printer located on windows pc in my network.--gateway 10.0.0.2, i am connected to gateway through router 192.168.123.256, the printer is on 10.0.0.26     ----   i can surf 10.0.0.26 but cannot print as the status forever show {connecting to 10.0.0.26}           \    i've set through all option ipp.url..raw,smb,unix but no luck...can anyone give advice?  :)
[11:32] <bobsomebody> |brad|, the comcast install disk has a little short of a virus in it that helps this process out on windows also
[11:32] <|brad|> bobsomebody, lol
[11:32] <stuart_> savass: 3 "locations" Do you want to know them?
[11:32] <bobsomebody> but ive had 69.254.26.158 for like 3 months now
[11:32] <DSpair> bobsomebody: Did Sony make it?
[11:32] <bobsomebody> and ive rebooted the server a couple times
[11:32] <|brad|> i have cox where i am... they are probably the worst cable company ever
[11:32] <bobsomebody> DSpair, dunno :P
[11:32] <savvas> stuart_: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ ?
[11:33] <Bjornalf> |brad|: nope comcast is worse
[11:33] <bobsomebody> |brad|, you might want to set up a masq server and try grabbing an ip, the systems are probably similar
[11:33] <bobsomebody> big companys are all closed source hacks of open source software anyways :P
[11:33] <DSpair> I have to say that I like my job and who I work with, but I hate living in Indiana.
[11:34] <bobsomebody> so they all kinda "act" the same
[11:34] <bobsomebody> DSpair, cool, this support thing seems to be gaining ground
[11:34] <bobsomebody> the idea is this
[11:34] <|brad|> bobsomebody, my friends box that we run a webserver off of has had the same address for over a year
[11:34] <amunra> Operation 'not supported" --- because the mount is NTFS perhaps?
[11:34] <bobsomebody> if every IRC geek could get paid to support local people with open source software we could all bank
[11:34] <savvas> stuart_: is it /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ ?
[11:35] <|brad|> DSpair, what do you do for a living right now ?
[11:35] <bobsomebody> |brad|, yeah, its server to modem right?
[11:35] <bobsomebody> no router in between?
[11:35] <Bjornalf> what's the channel that helps with compiz-fusion?
[11:35] <stdin> #ubuntu-effects
[11:35] <Bjornalf> ty
[11:36] <stuart_> savvas: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/beryl-settings-simple.desktop       then     manager.desktop    then    settings.desktop
[11:36] <|brad|> bobsomebody, modem > linux box (being used as a router) > switch > rest of the computers
[11:36] <bobsomebody> yeah
[11:36] <bobsomebody> that my setup
[11:36] <stuart_> savvas: yes lo, (I think)
[11:36] <bobsomebody> |brad|, drop most input right?
[11:36] <bobsomebody> masq all out?
[11:36] <|brad|> yes
[11:36] <|brad|> yes
[11:36] <bobsomebody> yeah thats how to do it
[11:37] <DSpair> bobsomebody: Here's an indication of my past experience supporting Open Source: http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/stories/main/0,14179,2825019,00.html
[11:37] <bobsomebody> so it should work
[11:37] <bobsomebody> my server is just an emachine 900mhz with 768 sdram
[11:37] <bobsomebody> 113 @ that!
[11:37] <DSpair> bobsomebody: BTW, my name is Deven Phillips
[11:38] <|brad|> thats all thats needed
[11:38] <|brad|> unless its used as a server for other services
[11:38] <booster> i have a question....when i enable desktop effects the window borders vanish and i cant figure out why???
[11:38] <DSpair> |brad|: I am the Senior Systems Admin for a manufacturing company which has branches ranging from Anchorage Alaska to Jacksonville, FL.
[11:38] <savvas> stuart_: well, about here, I'd suggest a nice format of the root (/) partition :\
[11:38] <|brad|> DSpair, sweet, thats what im looking to do
[11:39] <bobsomebody> DSpair, this isnt really corperate stuff im doing though
[11:39] <|brad|> right now im a sys ad for the Air Force
[11:39] <stuart_> savvas: really? lol a reinstall?
[11:39] <|brad|> i used to be a network tech. i like the sys ad side of things better
[11:40] <savvas> stuart_: that's what I would do, I won't go lurking in the system
[11:40] <stuart_> savvas: ok, im happy to reinstall, but worried it will reccur...
[11:40] <savvas> stuart_: you can check /var/log for any errors.. or the command dmesg
[11:41] <DSpair> |brad|: I used to do Information Assurance for the US Navy back in the day.
[11:41] <stuart_> savvas: thanks heaps for your time
[11:41] <omega45> HY
[11:41] <omega45> i need to creat a java / mysql database and i'm treing to use eclipse software but it's the first time and i can't put it working with the tomcat server can anyone help me???
[11:41] <|brad|> cool
[11:41] <PerpsGT> Greetings
[11:41] <DSpair> |brad|: I've been slowly pushed from SysAdmin into Java development over the last year or so.
[11:41] <bobsomebody> |brad|, i have alot of crap in my server too, like 3 drives, constant ssh's all over here and the place
[11:41] <stuart_> savvas: ill go for the reinstall and take more note of what precipitates the problem (assuming it happens again)
[11:41] <bobsomebody> ehhh whos fuc*in with my windows
[11:41] <savvas> stuart_: I hope it won't :) and at least you learned how to go manual :P
[11:41] <bobsomebody> i need that to test my website :P
[11:42] <stuart_> savvas: yeah... thanks again
[11:42] <bobsomebody> it will hurt itself all on its own it dont need no help
[11:42] <savvas> stuart_: btw, I wouldn't suggest beryl or compiz or 3d effects anymore
[11:42] <|brad|> i never really got into the development side of things... its not how my brain works
[11:42] <savvas> no problem :)
[11:42] <stuart_> savvas: ok, no problem -- so i had installed it?
[11:43] <|brad|> ive hacked a php script here and there but nothing more then that... if thats even considered development
[11:43] <stuart_> savvas: i was just curious, i didn't actually think it was that great anyway
[11:43] <savvas> stuart_: not sure, I couldn't see any leftovers that could cause the problems, but who knows! :P
[11:43] <bobsomebody> |brad|, one sec
[11:43] <stuart_> savvas: the reason im vague -- i installed twice...
[11:43] <DSpair> |brad|: Yeah, I used to feel the same way until I started running into problems that there were no solutions for yet.
[11:44] <stuart_> savvas: better go grab some dinner. Ciao
[11:44] <savvas> stuart_: a format and install should fix it. bon apetite! :)
[11:44] <DSpair> |brad|: I got SO frustrated that I just banged my head on an IDE until I got some working code. My boss was so impressed that he handed me more programming projects.
[11:44] <|brad|> DSpair, haha
[11:44] <DSpair> |brad|: No good deed ever goes unpunished.
[11:45] <Styrbjorn> hmm anyone know if it's possible to dualboot linux and windows on a system using raid 1 mirror ?
[11:45] <|brad|> DSpair, oh how i know that
[11:45] <DSpair> Styrbjorn: Only if it is a hardware RAID.
[11:45] <bobsomebody> |brad|, sorry someone shut down my windows i think
[11:45] <JC_Denton_>  fstab:  /dev/hda6	  /mnt/hda6	vfat	auto,rw	           hda6 is mounted as read/write but I can't write to it unless I use nautilus with admin rights..
[11:46] <bobsomebody> |brad|, had to go fix it :P
[11:46] <Styrbjorn> DSpair: hmm well i have that ich intel chipset
[11:46] <|brad|> i hate when i lose windows... and then find then the next day on a virtual desktop
[11:46] <Styrbjorn> and i setup the raid in the bios but still windows xp needs a individual driver so it's probbaly software raid or?
[11:46] <DSpair> JC_Denton_: YOu have to set the rights for the mounted partition. Try adding "uid=xxxx,gid=xxxx" which the uid and gid match your unprivileged user.
[11:47] <|brad|> them*
[11:47] <bobsomebody> |brad|, not "windows", my windows machine :P
[11:47] <DSpair> Styrbjorn: Well, that sounds like a hardware RAID, but I would have to see it to be sure.
[11:47] <|brad|> bobsomebody, lol oh
[11:48] <bobsomebody> they get nailed all the time, i dont care
[11:48] <Styrbjorn> DSpair: when i get into the partition table on the installer i see two disks
[11:48] <Styrbjorn> with the same partitions exactly
[11:48] <Styrbjorn> installer for ubuntu
[11:48] <DSpair> Styrbjorn: Dunno what to tell you.
[11:48] <JC_Denton_> Dspair on the end of that line?
[11:48] <bobsomebody> windows is for amusement anyways :P
[11:48] <|brad|> next month i get to go to a windows 2k3 server administration class. thats gonna be cool
[11:48] <amunra> If I wish to access Windows shares... do I installl Samba?
[11:48] <bobsomebody> |brad|, meh it sucks
[11:48] <|brad|> amunra, yes
[11:48] <DSpair> JC_Denton_: In the options part of the /etc/fstab line.
[11:48] <Styrbjorn> maybe i should try the unstable ubuntu?
[11:48] <bobsomebody> its bloated GUI-garbage for idiots
[11:48] <amunra> Alright
[11:49] <Styrbjorn> is there any raid improvements there?
[11:49] <|brad|> bobsomebody, ive used it before... i will probably know more then the instructure again
[11:49] <bobsomebody> but i assume the AF is paying for it so yeah whatever :P
[11:49] <|brad|> during tech school in my operating systems and application software block the instructor started to ask me questions
[11:49] <bobsomebody> yeah, i used it once, i have all the working iso's and what not
[11:49] <|brad|> bobsomebody, you : )
[11:50] <|brad|> err yup*
[11:50] <gothecow212> howdy
[11:50] <|brad|> haha
[11:50] <amunra> I have only one thing to say about WIndows and I will stop..
[11:50] <gothecow212> windoze?
[11:50] <bobsomebody> buy an old HP
[11:50] <bobsomebody> and beat it
[11:50] <amunra> It has always annoyed me in WIndows where the simple change of a file extension can change a file from a harmless text file - into one that may be executed by the system etc...
[11:50] <amunra> Why they thought that was a good design I will never know
[11:51] <JC_Denton_> dspair, thanks. done. Do I need to reboot to test it?
[11:51] <bobsomebody> alrighty #ubtunu
[11:51] <|brad|> well, its time for me to get ready for work
[11:51] <DSpair> amunra: That's the least of Windows' problems. The real issue is that they are still carrying around code and baggage from the DOS days.
[11:51] <bobsomebody> how do i mute from command line?
[11:51] <amunra> |brad|, Have fun ;D
[11:51] <|brad|> later
[11:51] <SlimeyPete> bobsomebody: alsamixer
[11:51] <amunra> Dspair, Windows will succumb to the same fate as Dbase...
[11:52] <bobsomebody> ?
[11:52] <DSpair> JC_Denton_: Nope, just run "remount -o remount /path/to/mountpoint" as root.
[11:52] <bobsomebody> like alsamixer -h? and figure it out?
[11:52] <DSpair> bobsomebody: alsamixer?
[11:52] <DuClare> JC_Denton_, a fellow dx lover? ;)
[11:52] <amunra> Too much backwards compatibility that little people need anymore which wastes space and in turn makes the system progressively slower and slower.
[11:52] <JC_Denton_> DuClare, Yup :)
[11:52] <amunra> Vista = 15GB for install, that is madness.
[11:52] <gothecow212> yer
[11:52] <Nighthawk420> hey yall can yall help me set up my HP Photosmart C5100 thernet printer?
[11:53] <DSpair> Nighthawk420: Under Ubuntu, it couldn't be easier.
[11:53] <Nighthawk420> i tried DSpair
[11:53] <DSpair> Nighthawk420: Install the "HPLIP" package and run "hp-setup"
[11:53] <Nighthawk420> HPLIP is the driver package isnt it?
[11:53] <sytner> Hi i recently updated my ubuntu 7.04 server running on vmware and after a reboot i now get /bin/sh: cant access tty: job control turned off
[11:54] <DSpair> Nighthawk420: Not just driver, but a management app for all HP printers.
[11:54] <Nighthawk420> okay
[11:54] <Nighthawk420> whats the terminal line i need?
[11:54] <Bjornalf> where do i find the gnome sessions file? i need to remove compiz from it
[11:54] <DSpair> Nighthawk420: As root "aptitude install hplip" and then "hp-setup"
[11:55] <thx1137> sytner: that just happened to me ealier
[11:55] <bobsomebody> is there a command to mute the sound? something not a GUI?
[11:56] <DSpair> bobsomebody: alsamixer....
[11:56] <sytner> thx1137:did you get it fixed?
[11:56] <SlimeyPete> bobsomebody: just run alsamixer. then select a channel and press M.
[11:56] <Nighthawk420> DSpair i got 2 errors in the terminal after running thee first command
[11:56] <Nighthawk420> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[11:56] <Nighthawk420> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[11:56] <thx1137> sytner: after rebooting a few times with the same error, I followed a suggestion which mentioned to either 1) reboot with a blank floppy disk, 2) change your BIOS boot order so floppy is last
[11:57] <bobsomebody> SlimeyPete, DSpair what i need is a command with no key strokes involved
[11:57] <DSpair> Nighthawk420: You have to be "root" or you can put "sudo " in front of those 2 commands.
[11:57] <bobsomebody> its for perlbox-voice
[11:57] <SlimeyPete> bobsomebody: ah. Dunno then, sorry.
[11:57] <bobsomebody> i want to say mute, fire command to mute
[11:57] <DSpair> bobsomebody: You're screwed!!
[11:57] <bobsomebody> well fork
[11:57] <DSpair> bobsomebody: Don't you mean "well fork()"?
[11:57] <sytner> thx1137: i have changed the flopy to last in the bios and still cant get it to boot
[11:57] <thx1137> sytner: what I ended up doing was to goto my BIOS, disable my floppy drive, since I rarely use it anyhow.. rebooted and it started up fine
[11:57] <Nighthawk420> lol sorry my friend it is early
[11:57] <Nighthawk420> not even 6 am yet god
[11:57] <bobsomebody> lol more like form(me)

[12:04] <|brad|> bobsomebody, what forum are you using on your site? it integrates very nice with your layout
[12:04] <bobsomebody> but ubuntu is alot better because you could always SSH in and work on stuff

[01:09] <usernewb> dgjones: thx, but I know what device it is supposed to be.  the installer from the livecd used /dev/hdc mbr to install grub.  it should be /dev/sda
[01:09] <modor> is there a proper forum for streamripper questions

[01:12] <modor> I'm listening to streamripper, and select a shoutcast as a bookmark
[01:12] <modor> when I want to go to that bookmark, it's incorrectly translated
[01:12] <modor> it puts a comma in the url
[01:13] <modor> seems that would be a bug to report
[01:13] <modor> for example, if I select the radio button for the bookmark I just made....
[01:13] <modor> this error pops up.....
[01:13] <modor> Firefox can't find the server at www.977music,com.com.
[01:14] <modor> it adds a comma in the url
[01:14] <modor> how would I report this bug for streamripper?
[01:14] <thoreauputic> modor: all of them or just that one?
[01:14] <modor> let me check
[01:15] <modor> brb
[01:15] <thoreauputic> modor: and the answer to the bug report question is launchpad.net
[01:16] <skumlesen> hi, where do I need to look to change the standard port for the ssh service, I want to change the port 22 to 22000?

[01:17] <kbrooks> skumlesen, /etc/ssh/sshd_config, but PLEASE don't just do that.
[01:17] <modor> could that be a feisty thing>
[01:17] <modor> ?
[01:17] <kbrooks> skumlesen, security solely by obscurity is bad.
[01:18] <thoreauputic> modor: never seen it myself - I think you mean streamtuner actually?
[01:18] <kbrooks> skumlesen, but if you firewall that port based on some condition, it works better
[01:18] <kbrooks> skumlesen, some people DO  port scan for SSH ports.
[01:19] <modor> thoreauputic,  it seems a blatant error for program, that's why I wondered about feisty
[01:19] <ruza> hellou
[01:19] <kbrooks> skumlesen, even ones that are not 22
[01:19] <wado> hi, I would like to ask you, how can I run gnome-commander as a root? I need copy files to folders with root privilege
[01:19] <thoreauputic> modor: as i said, I haven't seen it - and I use streamtuner and streamripper on feisty
[01:19] <faileas> wado: launch it from command line, with sudo?
[01:19] <skumlesen> ok thanks kbrooks
[01:19] <kbrooks> faileas, i said 'solely by", which means "only by".
[01:20] <faileas> kbrooks: thats not what i misread
[01:20] <kbrooks> faileas, oh ok
[01:20] <wado> faileas: good idea, soory I'm a biginner
[01:20] <modor> thoreauputic, okay, I am at launchpad
[01:20] <wado> faileas:thanx
[01:20] <faileas> wado: no worries ;p
[01:21] <modor> thoreauputic, one more silly question
[01:21] <ruza> what is the ubutnu way for using iptables-save and iptables-restore (saving iptables rules)? may i create /etc/init.d/something for myself or add line to rc.local?
[01:22] <kbrooks> skumlesen, the way that some other vendors of products do things is to cover up the problem with mud, thinking that no one will uncover the problem
[01:22] <ruza> i found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo but i dont think pre-up is great solution
[01:22] <modor> I selected the interface window to be displayed 'on top' of my screen, it disappeared, and I am not sure how to get it back
[01:23] <kbrooks> skumlesen, but as you already probably know, the uncovering has happened way too many times. :-)
[01:23] <skumlesen> kbrooks: I want to change the port for diffrent reasons, but I also only want few ip to be able to connect to the port, but I'll get that setup later
[01:23] <modor> the interface sort of remind me of winamp
[01:24] <kbrooks> skumlesen, in that case, look in the file i gave you
[01:26] <skumlesen> kbrooks: thanks for the tips :)
[01:26] <Snobulls> i need some help
[01:26] <Snobulls> whenever i startup my computer, it always asks for the internet password.
[01:26] <modor> thoreauputic, thank you for your reference
[01:27] <modor> bug reported
[01:27] <Snobulls> is there anyway i can make it automatically connect?
[01:27] <Snobulls> is there anyway i can automatically connect to my internet. I have a high speed cable/dsl with an ativa adapter
[01:29] <Snobulls> i need some support
[01:29] <Pici> !patience | Snobulls
[01:29] <ubotu> Snobulls: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:30] <warbler> !ask
[01:30] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:30] <pumamar> hellas
[01:30] <modor> Snobulls, is it cable or dsl?
[01:30] <Snobulls> it is dsl
[01:31] <modor> Snobulls, I don't know ppp 0f E, I though dsl was 'always on' connection.
[01:31] <Pici> Snobulls: Do you have auto-login enabled for your regular login?
[01:32] <Snobulls> no
[01:32] <Pici> Snobulls: We are talking about the keyring password, correct?
[01:33] <Snobulls> no
[01:33] <Snobulls> i fixed that
[01:33] <Pici> hm
[01:33] <gregshallard> How do I change my homefolder from command line?
[01:33] <Snobulls> when i log in, it always asks for my password to connect to the internet
[01:35] <gregshallard> How do I change my homefolder from command line?
[01:35] <Snobulls> so is there any filesystem file or terminal command i could use to automatically connect to the internet when i log in from anything?
[01:35] <mojo_> hello there, has any1 here can hep me out with MPD and Ubuntu?
[01:35] <warbler> Snobulls: in users and groups check the properties for you log in name to make sure you are allowed to use a modem
[01:35] <Pici> Snobulls: I was going to suggest this: http://johnny.chadda.se/2007/02/21/unlock-the-gnome-keyring-upon-login/   but I'm not sure what to do if this isnt the dialog you are getting, sorry.
[01:36] <Snobulls> ok
[01:36] <thoreauputic> gregshallard: that's a very general and more-or-less meaningless question
[01:36] <Markj> guys , is there like kaspersky for linux? although linux doesnt really need av solution, i'm more concerned with files shared over my friends Windows. Or do you know of any good av solution for ubuntu? newbie here  :) thanks in advance
[01:36] <Snobulls> i am allowed to use modems
[01:36] <dgjones> Snobulls, which password does it ask you for? do you mean your user password, or your dsl connection password?
[01:36] <gregshallard> I redirected my homefolder in user admin, and now it wont let me log in using the GUI.
[01:37] <bauer> how to install dektop on a ubuntu server
[01:37] <jrib> !anyone | mojo_
[01:37] <ubotu> mojo_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:37] <thoreauputic> Mark17: clamav probably - if you want to scan for Windows viruses
[01:37] <Tasmaniac> gregshallard, your home dir is set in /etc/passwd
[01:37] <mojo_> okay
[01:37] <jrib> bauer: if you install the "ubuntu-desktop" package you'll get the ubuntu desktop (GNOME) and all of the programs it comes with
[01:37] <thoreauputic> bauer: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[01:37] <gregshallard> Thanks.
[01:38] <jrib> gregshallard: you can also use the "usermod" command, see 'man usermod'
[01:38] <bauer> thoreauputic,  thx
[01:38] <mojo_> I have succesfully mpd running and now is trying to play an added music file with 'mpc', I tried to 'mpc play' any song, but none play, any idea?
[01:38] <bauer> jrip,  thx
[01:38] <Snobulls> my dsl connection password
[01:38] <Snobulls> it asks for my dsl connection password
[01:39] <marlun> Is there a graphical sudo?

[01:39] <gregshallard> Thanks guys.
[01:39] <thoreauputic> marlun: yes, gksudo
[01:39] <marlun> thanks :)
[01:39] <warbler> Snobulls: is that one you have to enter for your ISP
[01:40] <jrib> mojo_: does 'mpc ls' list anything?
[01:40] <Snobulls> no
[01:40] <mojo_> jrib:here the outputmojo@mojo:~/.mpd/music$ mpc ls
[01:40] <mojo_> Bad.mp3
[01:40] <mojo_> jsandman.ogg
[01:40] <mojo_> jrib: I tried to 'mpc play 1'
[01:41] <jrib> mojo_: and 'mpc playlist'?
[01:41] <mojo_> jrib: mojo@mojo:~/.mpd/music$ mpc playlist
[01:41] <mojo_>  1) Daniel Powter - Daniel Powter- dp - Bad Day
[01:41] <mojo_> >2) jsandman.ogg
[01:42] <mojo_> jrib: what does the '>' mean?
[01:43] <sadmin> hi all
[01:43] <mojo_> jrib: I hear no sound output
[01:43] <sadmin> i am using ubuntu
[01:43] <sadmin> i have installed ii  sun-java6-bin                          6-00-0ubuntu1~dapper1                   Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6
[01:43] <sadmin> ii  sun-java6-fonts                        6-00-0ubuntu1~dapper1                   Lucida TrueType fonts (from the Sun JRE)
[01:43] <sadmin> ii  sun-java6-jre                          6-00-0ubuntu1~dapper1                   Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6
[01:43] <sadmin> ii  sun-java6-plugin
[01:44] <sadmin> what java version its using
[01:44] <Snobulls> so is there any way to automatically connect to the internet on login?
[01:44] <dgjones> !paste | sadmin
[01:44] <ubotu> sadmin: 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)
[01:44] <bk> how can i set the permissions for my home dir so only i can read it?
[01:44] <marlun> Worked great :)
[01:44] <Pici> sadmin: Do you have sun-java5 installed as well?
[01:44] <jrib> mojo_: hmm, good question.  I don't see > in my playlist.  Mine just have a # next to all of them
[01:44] <sadmin> no
[01:44] <sadmin> Pici  i delete them
[01:44] <sadmin> when i do java --verion
[01:44] <jrib> bk: chmod 700 ~
[01:45] <saint-takesh2> brunner: just disable it in the unsupported driver manager thing, then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[01:45] <sadmin> java version "1.4.2"
[01:45] <saint-takesh2> oh.
[01:45] <sadmin> though i need java 1.5
[01:45] <Plantain> Why does the ubuntu kernel in the repos lag so far behind official?
[01:45] <bk> jrib: thanks
[01:45] <marlun> I've added a shortcut to open up a terminal but when I use it I get the message "No terminal command has been defined.".
[01:45] <Pici> sadmin: run `sudo update-alternatives --config java`
[01:45] <jrib> mojo_: you know sound is working though?
[01:45] <sadmin> if i install sun-java5
[01:45] <sadmin> what it mean
[01:45] <mojo_> jrib: totem play well
[01:46] <mojo_> jrib: the mpd package is 0.5.2
[01:46] <Pici> sadmin: sun-java5 is Java1.5, sun-java6 is Java1.6
[01:46] <jrib> mojo_: hmmm, volume doesn't matter for me, but try "mpc volume +100"
[01:46] <sadmin> but when i do java --version why it shows 1.4.2
[01:47] <sadmin> then
[01:47] <bk> jrib: the maching has multiple users, how can i do so only the wner has access to his/hers home dir?
[01:47] <jrib> !multijava > sadmin (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:47] <Pici> sadmin: You need to run `sudo update-alternatives --config java`
[01:47] <kbrooks> Plantain,
[01:47] <mojo_> mojo@mojo:~/.mpd/music$ mpc volume +100
[01:47] <mojo_> volume:100%   repeat: off   random: off
[01:47] <kbrooks> !stable | Plantain
[01:47] <ubotu> Plantain: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. 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.
[01:47] <mojo_> jrib: no sound
[01:47] <jrib> bk: chmod 700 /home/*    and update /etc/adduser.conf to make that default
[01:48] <bk> jrib: i tried that but i think i fucked up everything. now nobdy has access to their home dir
[01:48] <Plantain> kbrooks, thanks, but is there no 'bleeding edge' repo for newer modules? I need features in more recent kernels
[01:48] <jrib> bk: what are the current permissions?  pastebin: ls -l /home
[01:49] <jrib> mojo_: 'mpc status' currently says it is playing?
[01:49] <bk> jrib: the permission for every home dir is set to the group "users" not the user in question
[01:49] <mojo_> jrib:  mojo@mojo:~/.mpd/music$ mpc status
[01:49] <mojo_> volume:100%   repeat: off   random: off
[01:50] <sadmin> pici see ur private msgs
[01:50] <sadmin> plz
[01:50] <mojo_> jrib: it's like, it's not playing at all
[01:50] <jrib> mojo_: 'mpc play' again and then status?  still the same?
[01:50] <nanonyme> sadmin, have you registered with nickserv?
[01:50] <mojo_> jrib: i tried to run it with gmpc, same
[01:50] <nanonyme> sadmin, if not, he can't see your messages
[01:50] <mojo_> jrib: here mojo@mojo:~/.mpd/music$ mpc play
[01:50] <mojo_> Daniel Powter - Daniel Powter- dp - Bad Day
[01:50] <mojo_> [playing]  #1/2   0:00/3:55 (0%)
[01:50] <mojo_> volume:100%   repeat: off   random: off
[01:51] <mojo_> jrib: show the playing is 0%. no idea y
[01:51] <jrib> mojo_: and status now no longer says "playing", correct?
[01:51] <sadmin> pici u there
[01:51] <Pici> nanonyme: I have it setup so I get messages from unregged users.
[01:51] <Pici> sadmin: I answered you
[01:51] <nanonyme> ah
[01:52] <mojo_> jrib
[01:52] <mojo_> jrib: yes
[01:53] <jrib> mojo_: what type of file is Daniel Powter - Daniel Powter- dp - Bad Day?
[01:53] <bauer> just installed ubuntu server via my cdrom. Afterwards i can't mount the cdrom ? Any hints
[01:53] <mojo_> jrib: mp3
[01:53] <mojo_> jrib: ogg got same issue here too
[01:54] <nanonyme> why don't you use file on it?
[01:54] <jrib> mojo_: is this on feisty?
[01:54] <nanonyme> it should read magic bytes and tell you what file it is
[01:54] <mojo_> jrib: on gutsy
[01:55] <jrib> mojo_: ask in #ubuntu+1, could be gutsy-specific
[01:56] <wat1> Hi, does anyone know how to adjust screen brightness?
[01:56] <nanonyme> jrib, mojo_: you have a good reason not to use `file` to find out the file type?
[01:56] <mojo_> nanoyme: no idea
[01:57] <mojo_> jrib: the error log is a bit crazy, u might have some idea, it complains:
[01:57] <_AsX_> hello
[01:57] <_AsX_> :)
[01:57] <mojo_> jrib: Sep 11 21:50 : Error opening OSS device "/dev/dsp": Device or resource busy
[01:57] <mojo_> Sep 11 21:50 : problems opening audio device while playing "jsandman.ogg"
[01:57] <nanonyme> meh
[01:57] <nanonyme> use alsa ^^
[01:57] <mojo_> jrib: and here too Sep 11 21:21 : Error opening alsa device "hw:0,0": Device or resource busy
[01:58] <nanonyme> do you get *any* sound out of the computer?
[01:58] <mojo_> jrib: please private chat, I will paste the config of audio output of mpd.conf
[01:59] <luca> alsaconfig
[01:59] <luca> try this
[02:00] <luca> then look for audio device address
[02:00] <Tasmaniac> anyone here joined an ubuntu desktop (not a server) to a win2k domain (seen plenty of howtos on joining samba servers to domains but not just desktop)
[02:01] <FlaskOrm> Tasmaniac: it is the same thing...
[02:01] <Pici> Tasmaniac: There really isnt that much difference between Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server.
[02:02] <FlaskOrm> Pici: there is a desktop package on the desktop, and not on the server. and that's all
[02:02] <Tasmaniac> FlaskOrm, Pici So basically I got to set up samba to join a win domain?
[02:02] <wat1>  Hi, does anyone know how to adjust screen brightness?
[02:02] <FlaskOrm> Tasmaniac: yes
[02:03] <Pici> FlaskOrm: I know, tell Tasmaniac.
[02:03] <Tasmaniac> damn. Maybe thats why I havent made much headway in 4 weeks
[02:03] <Behi> hi all
[02:04] <Behi> in firefox I have selected the option to open new pages in new tab but left clicking on a link opens it in a new window, any ideas why this is so and how can I fix it?
[02:05] <Tasmaniac> FlaskOrm, Pici I realise there isnt much diff I've actually got both running here. Just didnt really think I'd need to set up samba just to join a domain (As the desktop wont be sharing files from it)
[02:06] <modor> streamripper is so kewl
[02:06] <aguitel> how delete a list of files ?
[02:07] <jrib> aguitel: rm file1 file2...

[02:17] <kdat> hi, i somehow damage the grub booter how can i fix it?
[02:17] <nuzzy> sort of an OT question, but I'm using Postfix with feisty.  I have DHCP with my ISP and use dyndns as well.  Anyone know how to keep my mail server, i.e., mail.server.com updated with the latest dhcp address via my mail.dyndns.org address?
[02:18] <bauer> just installed ubuntu server via my cdrom. Afterwards i can't mount the cdrom ? Any hints
[02:18] <playerzen> nuzzy Doesn't mail.<your domain> work ?
[02:19] <nuzzy> playerzen: yes, but after a while the ip address will change and I have my dyndns with the update client, so just wondering if I can CNAME or something to match the changing address
[02:19] <nuzzy> bauer:  is cdrom in /etc/fstab?
[02:20] <marlun> How can I define a terminal command?
[02:21] <jrib> marlun: like what?
[02:21] <bauer> yes
[02:21] <bauer> nuzzy,  yes
[02:21] <TheMafia> but to scp I have to have enough room on the disk for a full backup and I don't
[02:21] <nuzzy> bauer:  did you try "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom"?
[02:21] <marlun> jrib, I added a keyboard shortcut to run a terminal (in the System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts) but when I try the shortcut it says that no terminal command has been defined.
[02:22] <jrib> marlun: system -> preferences -> preferred > preferred applications
[02:23] <sadmin> hey pici
[02:23] <sadmin> u there
[02:23] <Badzo> how can i view www pages in terminal?
[02:23] <nuzzy> badzo: lynx
[02:23] <sadmin> intsall lynx
[02:23] <faileas> Badzo: i'd recommend elinks
[02:23] <bauer> nuzzy, just tryed it , but it says mount point  /mnt/cdrom does not exists
[02:23] <jrib> Badzo: elinks, w3m, lynx, links2
[02:24] <marlun> jrib, ah, thanks, works great now =)
[02:24] <Badzo> thanks
[02:24] <flow_> test
[02:24] <nuzzy> bauer:  sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom
[02:24] <nuzzy> bauer: then try the command again
[02:25] <alfa> oh my god...i can't find where is the command to print
[02:27] <bauer> nuzzy,  thx , :O)
[02:28] <nuzzy> bauer: no problemo :)

I've created a swap partition on the HDD and made it active. The install uses it.. but it still dies when it's on stage 5 and is trying to format the ext3 partition for the install. Any ideas?
[02:35] <Zenton> hi all
[02:35] <Zenton> when my laptop detects a wifi network it changes resolv.conf file.  How can I unable wifi network autodetection?
[02:37] <genii> [nrx] : When you are doing this with alternate Cd, go to console 4 by alt-f4 and then see what error messages it may be giving. Perhaps they can enlighten
[02:37] <linux4me> hi guys, i have a new server but it doesn't have a cd-rom. I'm trying to install ubuntu fiesty. i have a usb drive. suggestions?
[02:38] <whatspy> hey, when I uninstall a package using 'Synaptics', I noticed that many dependencies of the package are not uninstalled (ex. uninstalling apache2 does not remove apache2-prefork, apache2-common, etc.)
[02:38] <[nrx] > genii, at what stage?
[02:38] <whatspy> is this normal, or even desirable?
[02:38] <dgjones> !installing | linux4me
[02:38] <ubotu> linux4me: 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
[02:38] <genii> [nrx] : At the stage where it seems to lock up/freeze. Console 4 is where the all the messages about what is happening are going.
[02:39] <Szakari> whatspy: I'm pretty confident the form "apt-get autoremove something" is the way to go
[02:39] <[nrx] > well, wi'm at the stage of selecting the correct partitions.. once i'm there, it wont let me continue unless I let is 'reformat' the main system partition. It then churns along for about an hour then freezes.. during this 1 hour process, the machine isn't responsive at all
[02:39] <linux4me> dgjones - tks
[02:39] <genii> [nrx] : You can switch between the normal screen and that one by alt-f1 and alt-f4 to toggle
[02:41] <bp2626> Hello, I just installed ubuntu and when gnome starts the screen just gets messed up and nothing responds
[02:41] <bp2626> I tried dpkg-reconfgire xserver-xorg
[02:41] <genii> [nrx] : An hour is very long. This process (depending on hd size) should take less than 15 minutes
[02:41] <Lacrymology> is there anyone from israel or that WRITES in hebrew here?
[02:41] <bp2626> but it resulted in the same
[02:41] <[nrx] > genii, the problem is the machine acts as though it doesn't have the resources to do this - it's going along VERY slowly.
[02:41] <bp2626> I have an nVidia 7800GT so for driver I chose "nv", and went for a low resolution on my monitor
[02:42] <whatspy> ok, thx
[02:42] <genii> [nrx] : How much space did you allocate for the /
[02:42] <bp2626> but it still leaves the screen rather messed up
[02:42] <phar0z> bp2626, chose nvidia
[02:42] <bp2626> isn't "nv" the nvidia driver phar0z?
[02:42] <nanonyme> nvidia is the nvidia driver
[02:42] <nanonyme> nv is a *very* old driver
[02:42] <bp2626> alright I'll reconfigure again
[02:43] <c01100011> network manager isn't working with my non broadcast SSID, is there an alternative ?
[02:43] <viktor_> Hi, does anybody know why my sound doesn work anymore after my laptop "woke up" from the sleep mode?
[02:43] <Zenton> does anyone know how to disable network autodetection?
[02:43] <[nrx] > genii, i've allocated 12gb
[02:43] <[nrx] > and the windows partition is 25
[02:44] <[nrx] > i've also created a new swap partition for the install process (because i'm low on ram) and that's 512mb
[02:44] <ikonia> Zenton what type of network autodetection ?
[02:44] <Zenton> ikonia: wifi
[02:44] <Nickname> I have a problem with a new box I've just set up, I can ping the new box but I can't ping anything from within the new box. I've set /etc/network/interfaces but no luck. what am I missing?
[02:44] <ikonia> Zenton there is a check box in the network configuration gui under System -->Administration
[02:45] <ikonia> Nickname you can ping the new box from external servers ?
[02:45] <genii> [nrx] : OK, not running out of space to put the main install then. 192 should still be enought o install without a swap, i did it on this box with 192 for instance then took it down to 128 after the install, no swap.
[02:45] <Nickname> I'm not sure about external servers but I can ping from the only other box connected to the network
[02:45] <tegelane> hi. my friend has a problem. he somehow has remapped the "p" button to XF86AudioPause. how to get stuff normal again?
[02:45] <Tasmaniac> Nickname, other boxes arent firewalled are they
[02:45] <[nrx] > genii, any suggestions why it's taking so long and struggling so much then?
[02:46] <genii> [nrx] : There may be a hd hardware issue, bad sectors or so.
[02:46] <Zenton> ikonia: you mean "automatic service discovery" check box?
[02:46] <ikonia> thats the one
[02:46] <Nickname> There is a firewall on the one I'm trying to ping but it's set to allow connectinos from the local network
[02:46] <[nrx] > a chkdsk before the partitioning/install process showed no errors :(
[02:47] <Zenton> thanks ikonia :)
[02:47] <c01100011> where do i put a command so it runs @ login ?
[02:47] <Pici> !startup | c01100011
[02:47] <ubotu> c01100011: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[02:47] <genii> [nrx] : toggling to console 4 on alternate install CD when it's doing the thing which is stalling it should show some kind of informative message which may help decide what to do next.
[02:47] <ikonia> Zenton not a problem
[02:47] <Tasmaniac> Nickname sure ping isnt blocked (I know I ran into same prob with me win box firewall)
[02:47] <c01100011> Everything i put there isn't run and is missing @ next login
[02:47] <bp2626> "nvidia" wasn't an available choice for video drivers, and nv kept failing. I chose "vesa" and it seems to be working, I'll boot out of safe mode and attempt to install the proper graphics driver and see what happens.
[02:47] <[nrx] > can i start the instlal process and then toggle to the console4 and watch it all from there?
[02:48] <ikonia> bp2626 you need to install nvidia-glx package to get teh nvida driver
[02:48] <ikonia> !nvidia >Nickname
[02:48] <ikonia> oops
[02:48] <ikonia> sorry ni
[02:48] <phar0z> !nvidia
[02:48] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:48] <[nrx] > lol
[02:48] <Nickname> Tasmaniac, I've pinged the computer from that box before, I've just completed a fresh install/
[02:48] <genii> [nrx] : Yes. But it gets a bit confused when it needs input. It may respond to input on the 4th console instead of the first one.
[02:48] <[nrx] > genii, i'll give that a go
[02:48] <ikonia> Nickname user the network gui to configure the network card and make sure its setu pok
[02:48] <ikonia> setup ok
[02:49] <Jack_Sparrow> bp2626: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg if it dosent come up.... I assume you already know that
[02:49] <viktor_> Hi, does anybody know why my sound doesn work anymore after my laptop "woke up" from the sleep mode?
[02:49] <[nrx] > genii, this might sound really, really stupid, but is there anything I can do within the windows install that I can check the status of the HDD or perhaps come up with some answers?
[02:49] <Tasmaniac> Nickname so you can ping from other to new insatll but not new install to other?
[02:50] <genii> [nrx] : Not really. If you resized a ntfs partition and did not do a scandisk/chkdsk this may be causing some issues. but notmally the partition editor will not continue with resizing partition if the fs is ot clean.
[02:50] <Knight_On_White> i have 2 computers with ubuntu on 1 router, how i make thos computer to be at the same network ? (when i going to >> PLACES >> NETWORK i cant see the other computer) ?
[02:50] <genii> bleh typos
[02:50] <Nickname> Tasmaniac, correct
[02:50] <ikonia> Knight_On_White a service such as samba needs to be running for a computer to advertise its self to the other computer
[02:51] <[nrx] > genii, well I did resize the ntfs partition and it didn't come up with any errors. I've also since rebooted into xp and had no errors.
[02:52] <Knight_On_White> ikonia : from where i can get this package "samba" ?
[02:52] <SlimeyPete> !samba
[02:52] <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
[02:52] <dgjones> [nrx] , i had a similar problem installing on an old machine, the partitioner on the livecd wouldn't work and just kept hanging, i ended up downloading the gparted livecd and using that to partition and then used the alternate cd to allocate the new partitions to mount points
[02:52] <genii> [nrx] : Ok good. Another possible, if your hd is not having bad areas is perhaps the cd drive is not reading properly, or the cd itself may be corrupted.
[02:52] <snorre> how do i uninstall software, apt-get ...?
[02:52] <SlimeyPete> apt-get remove
[02:52] <Tasmaniac> Nickname only time I've had that problem is after a new install has been the firewall on the other box. (other box allowed ping out but rejected incoming ping)
[02:52] <SlimeyPete> or aptitude remove
[02:52] <snorre> thx
[02:52] <[nrx] > thanks guys, i'll bear in mind all of you've said and I'll give console 4 a bash, too :)
[02:53] <genii> snorre: sudo apt-get remove <package>    if you want to wipe the conf files too add --purge
[02:53] <Nickname> I can try disabling the firewall once I disconnect from the internet but I really don't think that's the problem
[02:53] <fastputty> crontab  * * 0 *  * tat mean every day at midnight right?
[02:55] <Tasmaniac> Nickname you trying to ping ip or name?
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> dgjones: I seem to remember something abouyt the live partitioner having issuse with partitions over 150 or maybe 250 g
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> dgjones: the gparted livecd didnt have the same issue
[02:57] <dgjones> Jack_Sparrow, i solved mine, [nrx]  was having problems with their partitions trying to install
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> dgjones: what size partitions were you trying to make
[02:57] <sinologic> list channels
[02:57] <sinologic> :-)
[02:57] <Tearstone> Ubuntu FTW!
[02:57] <Zenton> snorre: menu   System-->Administration-->Synaptic package manager     if you want a graphical tool.

[03:00] <dgjones> Jack_Sparrow, i was making a couple, about 25 and 60gb on a 160gb drive, the rest was either unpartitioned, or a couple of small partitions, apprarantly there is a problem with gparted on the livecd, but can't remember what the launchpad reference was for it

[03:08] <minikitten> where can I download the live cd?
[03:08] <c01100011> why don't i (normal user) have permission to edit /home/username/.config/autostart  ?
[03:08] <jrib> minikitten: ubuntu.com , the desktop cd is both a live cd and install cd
[03:08] <Dave_> is there anyway to make the resolution higher? 1280*1024???
[03:09] <jrib> !fixres > Dave_ (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:09] <jrib> c01100011: because you probably ran something with sudo that you weren't supposed to.  do: sudo chown -R $USER: ~/.config/           or do it to your whole HOME, if you know you don't want something different
[03:10] <minikitten> jrib: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download ?

[03:10] <minikitten> jrib: thanks
[03:10] <abhibera> is there a way to start firefox in fullscreen mode from command line?
[03:10] <c01100011> jrib, nope, fresh install, and i have been fighting to get sessions to work. This explains it.
[03:10] <jrib> !mouse > minikitten (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:10] <abhibera> what is the command to start firefox in full screen mode?
[03:11] <c01100011> Pici, yes, and root owned it. So my sessions applications were never getting added, only temporarily showing up in the GUI
[03:11] <minikitten> jrib: thanks <3
[03:11] <nynyx> anyone here have experiance with a wiimote + ubuntu Feisty ?
[03:11] <c01100011> Going to see if that fixes everything
[03:11] <jrib> !mouse > hetauma (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:12] <hetauma> jrib: ty
[03:12] <Pici> abhibera: Doesnt look like theres a command line option to do that.  I think there are some fullscreen extensions that might help you.  I suppose you could install them only in one profile and then use the command line profile argument to make it only use that so you dont interupt your normal browsing.

[03:24] <[nrx] > genii, no luck with that :(
[03:24] <gnilor> Jack_Sparrow, yeah but i would need to wget it from a server ..
[03:24] <genii> reon: Because of all the changes made, not a simple reformat in the same FS for instance, this is nearly impossible. you MAY get something if you send it to a data recovery place.
[03:24] <slashzul> how do you reconfigure monitors when you change it?
[03:24] <nynyx> !wmd
[03:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wmd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:24] <xukun> gnilor, I need to install windows xp guest under vmware workstation 6
[03:25] <Dave_> I cant find "root (hd0,6)" there
[03:25] <genii> [nrx] : Whan you go to console 4, is it giving ANY messages?
[03:25] <Zenton> slashzul: if you mean changing resolution  xrandr command
[03:25] <amr> afetr update i recieved the message during boot and no splash of ubuntu and progress bar and ask me to hit ctrl+D to start x and the message /sbin/apparmor_parser:unable to add "usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf".profile doesn't conform to protocol  profile /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd failed to load :failed

[03:25] <cypherdelic> please
[03:25] <reon> genii, thx was hoping for a more positive response.
[03:26] <genii> Dave_: It may be there as hdaX where X is a number like 5 or 6
[03:26] <slashzul> Zenton: the resolution is too low when I installed it. Now I have a new monitor and it resolution is HUGE
[03:26] <gnilor> xukun, stuff like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183209 should be helpful?
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Dave_: Post your menu list to the !pastebin

[03:26] <amr> yes

[03:27] <Zenton> slashzul: xrandr gives you several available resolutions   and   with xrandr -s number you can select one.
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> rafael__: right click the iso and write to disk
[03:27] <dgjones> there's a thread on ubuntuforums with the same symptoms, not sure if its yours, no replies to it yet, you'd be better trying in 'ubuntu+1 for gutsy support
[03:27] <rafael__> Jack_Sparrow, just it ?
[03:27] <rafael__> thank u
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> np

[03:29] <dgjones> amr, there's a thread on ubuntuforums with the same symptoms, not sure if its yours, no replies to it yet, you'd be better trying in 'ubuntu+1 for gutsy support
[03:29] <gnilor> xukun, but it's similar, you will have to compensate :) btw i believe vmware server is foss now? so why not use it?
[03:29] <Dave_> done (I think)

[03:30] <genii> [nrx] : Have you tried to install CLI only? afterwards you can put desktop with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:30] <dgjones> amr, this is the thread - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=547492

[03:30] <amr> dgjones , what is "ubuntu +1"

[03:34] <samii1> i need help
[03:34] <sPiTeFuLL> !desktop
[03:34] <gnilor> xukun, you probably want to retry then, perhaps with another version of vmware, or different options i don't know what is exactly causing that
[03:34] <Dave_> another question is can I make my user without a password?
[03:34] <Pici> sPiTeFuLL: Give the bot a little bit, it has some issues when we netsplit.
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> aguitel: Did you read the wiki and install gstreamer and all the restricted drivers stuff
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Dave_: Yes you can set to auto login
[03:35] <aguitel> jack ,no how i do this ?
[03:35] <xukun> gnilor, thanks anyway
[03:35] <Dave_> but I have two users
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Dave_: system...admin...login window...security tab if I remember right
[03:36] <icecruncher> hi, any recomend on something similar to helix? trying to make guitar
[03:36] <ChuckFish> Does anyone approve of my Chuck Norris nick?
[03:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Dave_: NO auto login with two different users
[03:36] <ChuckFish> my normal nick is t00na
[03:36] <aguitel> Jack_Sparrow ,how i fix it?
[03:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !dvd
[03:36] <Dave_> soo I cant make both users without a password?
[03:37] <javb> how can i erase a complate profile saved for a session?
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> aguitel: | !restricted
[03:37] <icecruncher> sorry not helix, but the other one
[03:37] <icecruncher> drub thing
[03:37] <Amaranth> Dave_: Nope
[03:37] <icecruncher> *drum
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> aguitel: bot is on coffee break... google up ubuntu and restricted formats
[03:38] <ikonia> !restrictedformats
[03:38] <javb> i have an error when i log in saying : "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds." .. this happened to me before and i remember i deleted some file wich recorded the profile of the session...
[03:38] <javb> any ideas?
[03:38] <ikonia> javb it means probably that your home dir is full
[03:38] <Dave_> ok , what about screen resolution.... how can I change it to 1280*1024?
[03:39] <javb> ikonia, it is not.. checked that...
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Dave_: Post your xorg.conf to the pastebin
[03:39] <ikonia> javb check gdm/xorg log
[03:39] <Dave_> how do I open it?
[03:39] <xukun> gnilor, you think the server addition will do better?
[03:39] <javb> i made a CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE, restarted the "X"
[03:39] <ikonia> Dave_ a text editor
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Dave_: gksudo gedit  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:40] <javb> ikonia, by the way, im logged right now, the session will reload if i click "OK" on the error message
[03:40] <gnilor> it probably should, but i'm guessing it is probably some video settings?
[03:40] <Dave_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37107/
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Dave_: Your getting the hang of it now
[03:41] <minerale> I need for this one program to run automatically when ubuntu boots up: vmware-user
[03:41] <minerale> what's the easiest way to have it run?
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Dave_: look at line 139  you want to add in there "1280x1024"  ahead of 1024
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Dave_: You would add that to the other depths as well, but you will probably not use them
[03:43] <Pici> minerale: 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
[03:43] <Dave_> ok
[03:44] <opti> when does tribe-6 get released?
[03:44] <nanonyme> check #ubuntu+1
[03:44] <Pici> opti: Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) Tribe 6 is not a formal release, but rather a bugfixing milestone. Please see http://tinyurl.com/3ytk9g for more information.
[03:45] <dgjones> Pici, are you taking over from ubotu :)
[03:45] <Dave_> but when I go to sys preference screen resolution I still dont have 1280*1024
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Dave_: This is where I need to to restart.. but not before writing down this command  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:45] <aguitel> Jack_Sparrow ,are you talking about this :http://www.ubuntux.org/node/72 ?
[03:45] <Pici> dgjones: Yeah :/
[03:46] <xukun> gnilor, could it be because the I installed the guest os on different disk and not in the home directory which is the normal way. do I need to change some permissions?
[03:46] <linux4me> i'm trying to install ubuntu from a usb drive and i'm trying to follow the "preparing files for usb memory stick booting" instructions.  where can i find the file boot.img.gz? i am trying to run "zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sda1"
[03:46] <Dave_> then it will restart?
[03:46] <linux4me> feisty btw
[03:46] <gnilor> xukun, doubtful, but just chmod 777 it, just to be sure
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Dave_: Just in case something went wrong with your edit.. you can also do sudo nano /path to xorg and undo your change
[03:47] <HA|Spark> hi
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Dave_: You restart manually

[03:58] <angel> can anyone help me to configure my nvidia
[03:58] <ikonia> angel what part ?
[03:58] <TehRandom> i've got Ubuntu Server installed, and i'm trying to do a "sudo" command for aptitude.... it prompts for a password, but doesnt take my "admin" users password....
[03:58] <ikonia> TehRandom its your current user password

[03:58] <ikonia> yes
[03:58] <TehRandom> i'm logged in as the "admin" user

[03:59] <Jack_Sparrow> angel: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:59] <rick__> hi.. i am having a prob installing lilo.. it says the following when i run liloconfig
[03:59] <ikonia> TehRandom then your password is wrong
[03:59] <rick__> Your /etc/fstab configuration file gives device                           
[03:59] <rick__>   UUID=5f8cd064-dc09-411d-a4b7-298308d3319b as the root filesystem device.  
[03:59] <rick__>   This doesn't look to me like an "ordinary" block device. Either your      
[03:59] <rick__>   fstab is broken and you should fix it, or you are using hardware (such    
[03:59] <rick__>   as a RAID array) which this simple configuration program does not         
[03:59] <rick__>   handle.
[03:59] <ikonia> javb .sesssions ?
[03:59] <javb> This is driving me crazy

[04:00] <javb> would u like to see it?
[04:00] <HA|Spark> hey! i somehow crashed my whole gui and even dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with usind the standard graphicsdriver doenst bring it back to life. anyone knows how to do?

[04:02] <reya276> I tried the IPTables tutorial but that did not help
[04:02] <Jack_Sparrow> mattva01: how much ram are you running
[04:02] <Jack_Sparrow> reya276: look at firestarter or guarddog

[04:03] <bauer> c/e/i/
[04:03] <Jack_Sparrow> mattva01: Did the splash ever work or did you try to change it
[04:04] <mattva01> never worked
[04:04] <warbler> reya276: there is a help file - go to terminal and type " man iptables "
[04:04] <Jack_Sparrow> mattva01: did you install from livecd or alt cd
[04:04] <reya276> Angel: Then you need to reconfigure your xserver by going into your terminal and running this "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" command
[04:04] <mattva01> mixture
[04:05] <mattva01> the slash doesnt show on ltsp boot either
[04:05] <Jack_Sparrow> mattva01: then I cant help much..maybe someone else will have an answer
[04:06] <warbler> reya276: iptables is a firewall - doesn't listen from what I know
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> angel: look more at monitor setup than the video
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> bbl
[04:06] <reya276> warbler: here is the command I used for the IPtables entry "iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8500 -j ACCEPT
[04:06] <reya276> "
[04:06] <angel> reta276: done that but im not sure howe to use it

[04:08] <Rainarrow> Hello guys, how do I configure my wireless connection without starting X?
[04:08] <Rainarrow> I know about iwconfig, however after use it to indicate the essid I still don't get connected
[04:08] <reya276> Waebler: can I disable the firewall since we have corporate firewall in place
[04:09] <faileas> Rainarrow: wouldn't happen to be a ralink would it? ;p
[04:09] <Rainarrow> faileas, it's not a ralink
[04:09] <faileas> ok
[04:10] <faileas> cause i had a huge headache getting on to work ;p
[04:10] <Rainarrow> faileas, the wireless adapter is a intel 2200BG, and the AP is a Linksys WRT-54G
[04:10] <kaig> I would like to use encrypted filesystems.  It seems that there are two methods to achieve this: (1) Follow one of the nine "EncryptedFilesystemHowto"s, and (2) use the alternate installation CD.  Which method should I choose?  (Under which conditions?)
[04:10] <faileas> hmm
[04:10] <faileas> ok, intels are usually alright IMO
[04:11] <l3on> hi all
[04:11] <l3on> I've some problem with firefox in Gutsy 64bit
[04:11] <Rainarrow> faileas, I could get connecter using the network manager in GNOME
[04:11] <Pici> Rainarrow: sudo iwconfig ethX
[04:11] <Badzo> howdy, i installed enemy territory with sudo (uhm!), how can i remove it f?
[04:11] <Rainarrow> faileas, I just wonder how do I configure that in console
[04:11] <l3on> this is problem: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37105/
[04:11] <l3on> anyone can help me?
[04:12] <faileas> Rainarrow: no clue ;(
[04:12] <Rainarrow> pici, what do I need to configure using iwconfig, besides essid?
[04:12] <mindframe-> Can someone please help me get X working?  here is my config: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37110/  and here is the errors i'm getting: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37112/
[04:12] <Rainarrow> pici, I tried like "sudo iwconfig eth1 myessid", and double checked with another iwconfig command
[04:12] <wolferine> how do I install perldoc ?
[04:12] <wolferine> !perldoc
[04:12] <Rainarrow> and the output is same as when I connect using the manager in GNOME
[04:12] <roadfish> Why isn't "apt-get update" doing anything for me? that is, when I do and update, package index files scroll by quickly and clearly aren't getting updated. why not?
[04:13] <bauer> i am missing a lot of fonts in /usr/share/fonts/X11. How do i get them
[04:13] <Rainarrow> roadfish, I guess you are not using the right server
[04:13] <kaig> mindframe: There does not seem to be an error in your output.
[04:13] <warbler> reya276: your " -p " looks like it should be " -P "
[04:13] <Pici> Rainarrow: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "youressid"
[04:13] <kane77> Rainarrow, mode, channel..
[04:13] <faileas> roadfish: isn't that what its supposed to do?
[04:13] <faileas> if you want new packages its upgrade
[04:13] <kaig> wolferine: perldoc comes with Perl, so install that.
[04:13] <Badzo> how can i remove enemy territory from /usr/local/games?
[04:14] <wolferine> kaig, its already install, perl that is
[04:14] <Rainarrow> ok, thanks pici and kane77, do I have to manually input the address of my AP?
[04:14] <kane77> Badzo, use sudo rm -r enemyterritory (or whatever the folder with ET is called..
[04:15] <kane77> Rainarrow, what address? ip? mac?
[04:15] <Pici> Rainarrow: I usually just use my essid name, and it works fine.  You'll need to get an IP address afterwards (if you use dhcp) with `sudo dhclient eth1`
[04:15] <kaig> wolferine: Ah, in Debian it's perl-doc, not perl.  Do you have perl-doc installed?  If not, does it help to install it?
[04:15] <kane77> Rainarrow, or us ifconfig to set ip if you use static...
[04:15] <Rainarrow> ok I see
[04:16] <Rainarrow> thanks guys, I'll try that
[04:16] <Badzo> kane77: it's just removed folder from my home folder, not from a usr/local
[04:16] <reya276> warbler: how can I enable the iptables firewall again as I disabled it
[04:16] <TehRandom> x
[04:16] <wolferine> ah
[04:16] <wolferine> forgot the '-' kaig
[04:16] <kane77> Badzo, then 'cd' to /usr/local/games
[04:16] <tubby> Hi all.  I have a file on my system /etc/group- (that's a dash not a tilde) that isn't mentioned anywhere.  Does anyone know what it is for?
[04:16] <Badzo> oh, i did it and it shoudl be working, thanks
[04:17] <tubby> 'group-' has permissions 600 in comparison with 'group' that has 644
[04:17] <Ayabara> anyone running ubuntu on the new macbook pro?
[04:17] <KenSentMe> !grub
[04:18] <warbler> reya276: it is a service that starts when the comp starts - how did you disable it?
[04:18] <tubby> 'group-' isn't mentioned in any related man pages and doesn't have a man page itself.
[04:18] <mindframe-> Can someone please help me get X working?  here is my config: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37110/  and here is the errors i'm getting: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37112/
[04:18] <kaig> tubby: group- is a backup file.
[04:18] <tubby> kaig: system-created?
[04:18] <jaggy> hey all can anyone help me whit frostwire ??? it just wont run
[04:19] <kaig> Created when you do vigr or otherwise add users to or remove users from groups.
[04:19] <reya276> warbler:iptables -F
[04:19] <kaig> tubby: Yes, system-created.
[04:19] <tubby> kaig: thanks.
[04:20] <kaig> How to install Ubuntu with encrypted filesystems?  Use the alternate install CD?
[04:20] <jaggy> hey all can anyone help me whit frostwire ??? it just wont run
[04:21] <gehel_> hello ! dumb question, but how can I do something like : sudo cat > /etc/bla <<EOF ...     but that works ?
[04:21] <mindframe-> kaig, theres no automatic option for that
[04:21] <gehel_> I get a permission denied ...
[04:21] <sgmt_bode> I'm  bit lost folks, I have read the guides, I have tried a number of commandline chnages and I am still unable to use my ubuntu installation, I can boot from windows and from ubuntu cd but I have so far been unable to correct the graphics card driver
[04:22] <warbler> reya276: a reboot should restart it - have you enabled the ports in your modem/router?
[04:22] <kaig> gehel_: sudo sh -c "cat > /etc/bla" <<EOF
[04:22] <eigma> I have software RAID-1 on Ubuntu with 2.6.20 between two partitions on SCSI disks; the array is rebuilding, and 'mdadm --examine /dev/sda2' lists 3 devices, in states: removed, active sync, spare.. once resync'ing is done, will the spare replace the removed slot, leaving only 2 devices?
[04:22] <gehel_> kaig: of course ... it's been a while since my last bash scripting session ...
[04:23] <kaig> mindframe-: Well, there are nine howtos (I like the LVM one), and then it appears that the alternate install cd supports this, too.
[04:23] <kaig> mindframe-: I'm not afraid of doing things manually.  But I want to choose the right manual method :-)
[04:23] <mindframe-> dm-crypt with lvm :)
[04:23] <IdleOne> jaggy: you need to install java see !java
[04:23] <gehel_> kaig: thx
[04:23] <jaggy> idle0ne i installed it ..
[04:23] <jaggy> not working
[04:24] <jaggy> !java
[04:24] <kaig> I believe that both methods (alt install cd and howto) will achieve that.
[04:24] <reya276> warbler: the ports that I need to use are for my local machine only as I installed coldfusion8 server and it gives me an error "JNDI listen port in jndi.properties blocked by TCP/IP filtering or firewall"
[04:24] <rafael__> hello people
[04:24] <IdleOne> jaggy: how did you install java?
[04:24] <redbaron> Can anyone direct me to either a forum post, or webpage that explains how I go about changing the mirror I download packages from?
[04:25] <reya276> warbler: so this is why I only need to get these ports to listen only on my local machine, but no luck
[04:25] <rafael__> i installed ubuntu alternate on my usb hd.. i made the boot of grub on pendrive.. but when i choose to start linux from this pendrive.. i get a error message like.. cannot amount the selected  something
[04:25] <jaggy> idle0ne aptitude install sun-java6-jre ...
[04:25] <sadap> or with aptitud
[04:25] <rafael__> someone know how to solve it ? need i write the grub of pendrive or something ?
[04:25] <IdleOne> redbaron: /etc/apt/sources.list ( sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list )
[04:25] <Pici> redbaron: System>Administration>Software sources can change your package mirrors easily. Its in one of the tabs.
[04:25] <redbaron> Thanks guys :)
[04:26] <warbler> reya276:modem/router is a hardware firewall as well - needs the ports opened on it
[04:26] <KenSentMe> Maybe it's a frequently asked question today, but where is the bot?
[04:26] <Stwange> can anyone help me connect to my wireless network? my router detects it, but never connects - this is a linux problem, it connects fine under Windows
[04:26] <sadap> some body know about... i want to change the font in tty1
[04:26] <Pici> KenSentMe: It didn't reconnect to all the channels after a netsplit.  We're working on getting a replacement up until it comes back.
[04:27] <kaig> mindframe-: What did you do?
[04:27] <KenSentMe> Pici, ok, thanks for the info
[04:27] <Stwange> Pici, who runs it?
[04:27] <Pici> Stwange: Ubotu is Seveas's bot.
[04:27] <reya276> Warbler: I know that, but I'm running the Coldfusion Server on my local PC, has nothing to do with the modem/router
[04:27] <rafael__> hello ? someone read my question ?
[04:28] <Stwange> is it not responding to him? I'm just wondering why he couldn't just get it to rejoin, instead of finding a replacement
[04:28] <jaggy> idle0ne: i installd java6-jre ...
[04:28] <whatspy> what was that special kill command that could identify & kill a process given it's name ?
[04:28] <reya276> so if I'm trying to access a webpage on my internal apache2 server then it is accessing it internally and not going through the modem/router
[04:28] <jrib> whatspy: pgrep or killall
[04:28] <rafael__> :(
[04:28] <Pici> Stwange: Seveas is not around right now.
[04:28] <rafael__> i need help
[04:29] <whatspy> jrib: thx!!
[04:29] <jrib> whatspy: erm, I mean "pkill", not "pgrep"
[04:29] <nanonyme> jrib, you mean pkill
[04:29] <nanonyme> yeah
[04:29] <nanonyme> made that mistake myself a few days ago :)
[04:29] <Stwange> ah fair enough
[04:29] <nanonyme> imo pkill is nicer since sudo killall -9 # is very interesting on solaris ;)
[04:29] <jaggy> i installd java6-jre ...  yet my frostwire wont work any help ?????????,,
[04:30] <jrib> jaggy: pastebin the output of 'java -version'

[04:32] <jaggggy> !multijava
[04:33] <jaggggy> hmm i cant get a pm of that ubotu :s
[04:33] <mtx1> is there a way to copy all programs to a new installation by copying certain directories? or do i need to manually reinstall them? i am going with a new system but same chipset and architecture
[04:33] <rafael__> ikonia, let me see. the grub is on my pendrive that list all o.s i have including the linux i installed on my external hd..  the message error is :    error:17 cannot mount selectec partition

[04:33] <ikonia> rafael__ what point do you get that error from grub or from within the kernel boot ?
[04:33] <jrib> jaggggy: and choose the sun one
[04:33] <jaggy> k jrib
[04:34] <Stwange> nbkr, thanks for the response. I did have WEP but I disabled it because I thought that might be the problem, it made no difference. The card is a D-Link Airplus DWL 520+
[04:34] <rafael__> ikonia, the list of grub after i choose the linux on my external hd.. i just press enter and its the first thing i can read on the screen
[04:34] <jaggy> jrib: it just says this <  thats all :s no sun thing
[04:34] <ikonia> rafael__ it sounds like grub has assigned a different hard disk device id to your disk
[04:34] <jrib> jaggy: press ctrl-c, then enter the command again without any ''
[04:34] <rafael__> ikonia, i think so, what need i do to solv it ?
[04:34] <ikkinu> grub can't see vista, what should I do to fix it? just installed 7.10

[04:35] <ikkinu> rafael__, my ubuntu is 7,10
[04:35] <rafael__> ikonia, how can i do it ?
[04:35] <ikonia> ikkinu what has that got to do with anything ?
[04:35] <rafael__> ikonia, any editor is ok ?
[04:35] <Stwange> nbkr, I was automatically detected. I had a similar problem with fedora (but it wasn't being used), in that case I copied the firmware for the ACX100 drivers, but I ended up with the same problem
[04:35] <jaggy> jrib TY allot it works :p
[04:35] <ikonia> rafael__ edit your menu.lst in a text editor and change the boot options for ubuntu to point to the right disk
[04:36] <aguitel> anyone have this error in Totem :No accelerated IMDCT ?
[04:36] <rafael__> ikonia, ok i will try.. thank u

[04:37] <ikonia> ikkinu so ? what has that got to do with anything ?
[04:37] <nbkr> Stwange, Seems to be a bug in the madwifi-ng drivers with those cards: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17/+bug/66176
[04:38] <RickSeymour> join #ubuntu-meeting
[04:40] <jordano> hi
[04:40] <Stwange> nbkr, what would you suggest? if the drivers are buggy there seems little point trying them, but if they are third party drivers I can't see tech support being much use (not that they are ever much use with linux)
[04:40] <lodder> Network Manager keeps asking for wep key is it possible to resolve this ? because it's the only problem that leaves me from completely switching to linux
[04:41] <nbkr> Stwange, Personally, I would by a new wifi card if this is possible.
[04:41] <booster> hey guys....how can i update a single installed package such as beryl ???
[04:41] <RickSeymour> lodder... i personally use WICD.. a python project.. daemon/gui
[04:41] <takabumba> wireless mouse genius navigator 5000. how can i make it workin?
[04:42] <jrib> booster: apt-get install beryl
[04:42] <booster> ok thanks
[04:42] <jrib> booster: you know about compiz fusion?
[04:42] <Stwange> nbkr, last resort of the weak :) to be honest though, it doesn't seem a bit of a buggy card - I have problems (albeit different ones) in Windows, and all they say is "update the drivers". I never understand this - how does your hardware always know to start acting up just after a new driver is released? :)
[04:42] <walter_> hi room
[04:42] <VSpike> The page at http://colonos.wordpress.com/2007/05/30/apt-get-install-thunderbird-2-in-the-feisty-pawn-of-the-fawn/ suggests you can find Thunderbird 2.0 for Feisty at http://ppa.dogfood.launchpad.net/mozillateam/ubuntu/ but the repo seems to be empty.  Anyone know anything about it?
[04:42] <booster> nope
[04:42] <booster> is it better jrib
[04:43] <jrib> booster: the people in #ubuntu-effects can help you in setting it up.  compiz and beryl joined back together and are now working on compiz fusion
[04:43] <nbkr> Stwange, Thats because of the secret "check_for_new_driver_and_if_so_stop_working()" - Function in the old drivers :-)
[04:43] <linux4me> hi guys, where can I find some clear documentation on install ubuntu fiesty via a usb drive?
[04:43] <booster> well ive seen beryl in action...and i must say its pretty sweet
[04:43] <Stwange> :) nbkr what card do you use, or do you not have one?
[04:44] <jrib> linux4me: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[04:44] <pookey> hey all - what's the current project for getting expose style prettyness, beryl, etc?
[04:44] <jrib> pookey: compiz fusion, join #ubuntu-effects for help
[04:44] <nbkr> Stwange, My old one is from conceptronics - I don't know the model right now. The new one is build in my new notebook. Its an Intel Chipset.
[04:44] <pookey> jrib: thanks, much apreciated
[04:45] <mthed> Hello, how can i change my splash screen for Ubuntu?
[04:45] <Stwange> ah ok. Can anyone recommend a wireless card that linux loves?
[04:45] <jrib> mthed: did you receive a private message from ubotu just now?
[04:45] <booster> for some strange reason i installed beryl and i cant get the cube effect to work??? any ideas??
[04:45] <nbkr> linux4me, Tried this? http://pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/25/usb-x-ubuntu-610
[04:45] <mthed> And also. Are there any usb-tv dongles that work with ubuntu.
[04:46] <mthed> jrib: No.
[04:46] <nbkr> linux4me, Its for 6.10, but it should work with 7.04 also.
[04:46] <linux4me> nbkr - thats for edgy
[04:46] <jrib> mthed: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[04:46] <boojah> has anyone used pcsx2 (ps2emu) on linux, i'm trying to play Final Fantasy 7, but it wont work in wine.
[04:47] <mthed> thanks.
[04:47] <DB42> is there a good reason to move from a gentoo to an ubuntu server distribution ?
[04:47] <mthed> about that usb-tv dongle thingie, any ideas?
[04:47] <ikonia> DB42 its personal choice
[04:48] <DB42> ikonia: my comp is old, and i hate re-gentooing it all
[04:48] <elkbuntu> DB42, alot less compiling involved
[04:48] <ikonia> DB42 so there is your answer
[04:48] <Stwange> if I replace the wireless card, can I use it as plug and play, or do I have to do some special command?
[04:48] <nbkr> Stwange, Have a look at www.tuxhardware.de - they sell "linux approved hardware". Unfortuntely the site is in german only.
[04:48] <DB42> but is it as good as gentoo
[04:48] <DB42> package managment-wise?
[04:48] <ikonia> again  thats personal taste
[04:48] <ikonia> dpkg is an excellent package manager in my opinion
[04:48] <Stwange> thanks anyway nbkr :) ill see what I can make out from one year of german at school
[04:49] <DB42> can i remove packages safetley / easily with dpkg ?
[04:49] <DB42> also, how is the configuration file going ?
[04:49] <ikonia> DB42 yes
[04:49] <dgjones> Stwange, if you want an english website, try linuxemporium, i bought a wireless card from them to use with linux
[04:49] <ikonia> DB42 the config files are the smae in any distro
[04:49] <DB42> but how is theiir managment, on upadtes, etc..
[04:49] <DB42> in gentoo i have etc-update proggie
[04:49] <ikonia> DB42 you manage the files
[04:50] <nbkr> DB42, In Ubuntu its apt-get upgrade - it will run all necessary upgrades.
[04:50] <DB42> when i update, it asks me if to chagne the file or not ?
[04:50] <ikonia> DB42 you going to have to try it and make up your mint
[04:50] <ikonia> mind
[04:50] <Jack_Sparrow> boojah: Just so I get this right... you are trying to run playstation game emulator pc2emulator...designed for windows, under wine, in linux
[04:50] <nbkr> DB42, If you modified a configuration file it will ask if you want to use the new version or keep the old one.
[04:50] <Martin_-_> My workstations are gone, how can i get them back. i only got 1 to put my windows in
[04:50] <DB42> nbkr: k
[04:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Martin_-_: You are running effects right?
[04:51] <Martin_-_> Jack_Sparrow yes
[04:51] <Martin_-_> Jack_Sparrow only one, not the qube
[04:51] <algej> ignore -JOINS
[04:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Martin_-_: THe channel for those questions is #Ubutnu-effects
[04:51] <Stwange> thanks dgjones, I'm hoping to find some cards on there and then use ebay :)
[04:52] <kazim59> How do I setup that all normal users are able to access (read/write) to the pen drives they connect?
[04:52] <dgjones> Stwange, no probs
[04:52] <linux4me> db42 - we are in the process of migrating from gentoo to ubuntu. had major issues with trying to get the iptables compiled under gentoo. along came ubuntu fiesty which now only comes with a lamp setup for you but you are done in a matter of mins. approx 15-20mins
[04:52] <linux4me> the ubuntu developers did an awesome job with fiesty
[04:52] <DB42> linux4me: i dont have any issues with gentoo too much, besidse now only to update it all
[04:53] <DB42> shouldn't i go with 6.06 LTS for a server?
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> 6.06 is very reliable
[04:53] <DB42> but as a server 6.10 is better?
[04:53] <linux4me> db42 - gentoo's package manager is awesome but ubuntu fiesty 7.04 already came prepackaged with what i needed
[04:54] <linux4me> only ever tried fiesty (server,7.04) i'm afraid, can't comment on 6.06
[04:54] <DB42> linux4me: so i should use 7.04 ? not 6.06 ?
[04:54] <iqag> I put a Live CD in someone else's machine, the Desktop came up but the fonts did not render - everything was boxes. I've never seen this before. Is this a common problem? Can anyone point me in the direction of a fix.
[04:54] <DB42> ahh
[04:54] <Jack_Sparrow> DB42: I dont run a server, but as a user, I like lts for nothing to upgrade as much
[04:55] <ikonia> DB42 6.06 is LTS (Long term support) so its up to you waht you want
[04:55] <Jack_Sparrow> DB42: probably phrased that wrong..
[04:55] <hetauma> are there drivers for HP photosmart printers that would offer options like boarderless printing etc?
[04:55] <neil_feisty> !gutsy
[04:55] <kazim59> I've 60 users... 05css01 to 05css60 on my college ubuntu.... What should I do so that they are given access to external storage devices they connect? (without needing sudo)
[04:55] <DB42> Jack_Sparrow: yeah...
[04:56] <dgjones> neil_feisty, the bots asleep, 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
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> DB42: sET IT FORGET IT, AND LET THE SECURITY UPDATES TAKE CARE OF THE REST
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> DB42: Darn darn
[04:56] <mthed> Does anyone know if there's any usb-tv dongles that work with ubuntu?
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Does anyone know how to disable the caps lock key
[04:57] <jrib> Jack_Sparrow: http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=166 is nice
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Many thanks
[04:57] <DB42> Jack_Sparrow: 6.06 or 7.10 ?
[04:57] <DB42> 7.04
[04:57] <DB42> ..
[04:57] <ikonia> DB42 it depends what your needs are
[04:58] <ikonia> DB42 YOU have to chose
[04:58] <sadhu_s60> hello every1 ... this is my 1st experience with linux :)
[04:58] <DB42> my needs are basic home server
[04:58] <DB42> NAT/Firewall/Experiments/FileSharing/P2P
[04:58] <ikonia> DB42 but do you want bleeding edge packages or stability support
[04:58] <ikonia> DB42 FYI: the non-server package will also work fine as a home server
[04:58] <DB42> ikonia: yeah, but i dont need/want X-support
[05:00] <sadhu_s60> i am looking for flash plugin for mozilla on my 64bit ubuntu 7.04 ....i might sound very NOOb which i am
[05:00] <Davy_Jones> get slackware then

[05:00] <erUSUL> !flash64 | sadhu_s60
[05:00] <Pici> erUSUL: no bot :(
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> DB42: Personally I would hold off for 7.10 as I think it is lts and you want to set it and for get it...
[05:01] <Pici> http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi Is avaliable for anyone helping out in here that wants/needs access to the factoids.
[05:01] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow 7.10 is not lts
[05:01] <DB42> 7.10 is LTS ?
[05:01] <DB42> i dotn think so
[05:01] <DB42> LTS is once in a ...
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> DB42: then 6.06
[05:01] <sadhu_s60> thank you .... tat looks deep :D
[05:01] <DB42> yeah i think i'll go with 6.06
[05:01] <Pici> DB42: Jack_Sparrow: 8.04 will be LTS.
[05:01] <DB42> since i dont use X anyhow
[05:02] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks pici
[05:02] <Nyle> I have a Gravis Gamepad Pro USB and I would like to get it to work in Ubuntu.  Please advise as to what I need to do or where I need to look
[05:02] <l3on> bye
[05:03] <rafael__> ikonia, if i send to u the information of my partitions and my menu.lst could u explain to me how to write that ?
[05:03] <rafael__> i mean what i need to write
[05:03] <Nyle> It is listed under joypads i can see the arrows move around in testing when i use it
[05:03] <DB42> welp
[05:03] <Nyle> however it won't work with snes9x
[05:03] <Nyle> :(
[05:03] <DB42> i think i'll try archlinux first, and see if it's ok
[05:03] <ikonia> rafael__ grub is dynamic - so it changes device ID's on external disk, thats why booting from an external disk is not a good idea
[05:04] <bauer> i am missing a lot of fonts in /usr/share/fonts/X11. How do i get them
[05:04] <rafael__> ikonia, well. if i can boot at first boot my usb hd .. so i dont need to create an pendrive to boot the grub right ?
[05:04] <ikonia> rafael__ thats right, yes
[05:04] <rafael__> ikonia, is it possible ? that i install everything including the grub on my external hd ? or it need to be on my first partitiom  ?
[05:04] <rafael__> ikonia, omg. so why did i thought i needed to create it on a pendrive ?
[05:04] <banyunet> JAY
[05:05] <ikonia> rafael__ yes, thats possible, but as I said it is not a good idea to have a boot loader on an external drive
[05:05] <ikonia> as the external drives device ID's may change
[05:05] <rafael__> ikonia, so.. what is the better way ?
[05:05] <ikonia> not use an external disk
[05:05] <rafael__> ikonia, need i let the grub to write on my mbr ?
[05:05] <rafael__> ikonia,  ahh i need to use
[05:05] <rafael__> ikonia, what can i do to get it working ?
[05:05] <ikonia> no - your still using a USB disk - which can change ID's
[05:06] <rafael__> ikonia, i heard about ids that dont change.. like phisic id or something.. does it exist?
[05:06] <rafael__> i knew about this change of ids before
[05:06] <ikonia> rafael__ uuid's don't change thats right but your using grub on a USB device and that does change
[05:06] <rafael__> but i think its possible to have linux on an external hd.. i need it
[05:06] <plainas> hey all
[05:07] <mojo_> has any1 look at my question?
[05:07] <szhao> abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[05:07] <sadhu_s60> uuummmm.... so to install 32bit mozilla plugins i hav to install 32bit mozilla first? the default mozilla of my ubuntu64 wont do?
[05:07] <ant30> hi all anybody play golf?
[05:07] <rafael__> ikonia, would i have some problem with lilo then ?

[05:07] <ikonia> rafael__ it is possible, but its effort maintaining it, as you are finding out

[05:08] <ubot3> failed
[05:08] <rafael__> ikonia, how about lilo ?
[05:08] <g011um> Yopla

[05:08] <dgjones> !ntfs | plainas
[05:08] <ubot3> plainas: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[05:08] <ikonia> rafael__ same thing really
[05:09] <rafael__> ikonia, dang
[05:09] <plainas> !ntfs-3g
[05:09] <ubot3> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[05:09] <rafael__> ikonia, but i need the linux on my usb hd... what is the best way to boot it ?
[05:10] <plainas> !fuse
[05:10] <ubot3> FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE.  Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here:  http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems
[05:11] <plainas> cool... thanks guys... quite impressive what this distro has made in terms of docummentation, hardware support and community suport.

[05:12] <danielronin> HELP!! for some reason GRUB is stuck in a boot cycle, and when i fire up qtpart, the partition that i have vista on is showing as busy...can anyone help me fix this, as i can't boot into my machine at all =(
[05:12] <danielronin> i made no changes recently, could it be that vista didn't shut down properly?
[05:13] <amri> anyone can help me?
[05:13] <Pici> !ask | amri
[05:13] <ubot3> amri: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:14] <amri> yay,.. how do i prevent gaim from autostarting during startup?
[05:14] <danielronin> please, you guys have been so helpful in the past with even small problems, is there anyone that help me with this huge one???
[05:14] <rafaelscj> danielronin, can't you boot vista up?
[05:14] <Martin_-_> Is there any command that brings you back to the desktop
[05:15] <amri> anyone?
[05:15] <wbode> Can I reinstall ubuntu over a previous version? I didn't know what to do when it asked about partitions.
[05:15] <danielronin> i can't boot anything
[05:15] <Pici> !upgrade | wbode
[05:15] <ubot3> wbode: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:15] <danielronin> i installed kubuntu and backtrack over vista, and it all worked fine, once i got a few kinks worked out
[05:15] <rafaelscj> amri, System > Prefe > Sessions
[05:16] <danielronin> now for some reason qtpartd shoes he vista partition as active, and it's red??
[05:16] <danielronin> *shows
[05:16] <wbode> can I do this while booted from a cd?
[05:17] <wbode> Will the changes affect my harddrive installation
[05:17] <danielronin> like i said, no changes were made to the system last night, except there's a chance vista didn't shut down properly
[05:17] <xfreakk> hey anyone im trying to figure out if theres any workarounds for soundcards like the x-fi like using onboard motherboard sound
[05:18] <Pici> wbode: I dont understand your question.
[05:18] <danielronin> rafaelscj: do you know why qtpartd shows the ntfs partition w/vista as currently active, i'm currently on a live cd
[05:18] <eyec0n> danielronin, because its mounted
[05:19] <elzbal> !audio > elzbal
[05:19] <dinochopins> hi everyone. Is there any wiki on how do I have a login session against a WIN2K Active Directory Server ?
[05:19] <eyec0n> wouldn't that make it active?
[05:19] <rafaelscj> danielronin, active is the boot partition
[05:19] <wbode> I am booted into ubuntu from  a cd I had a ubuntu installation on my harddrive which I can only use now with command line since I changed my graphics card, I have tried a number of the commandline edits to chnage to the new graphis card but to no avail
[05:20] <wbode> Can I make fixes to the harddrive installation while booted into ubuntu from cd?
[05:20] <xfreakk> hey anyone im trying to figure out if theres any workarounds for soundcards like the x-fi like using onboard motherboard sound because there are no drivers at all for the soundblaster x-fi
[05:20] <Pici> wbode: Yes, just mount your harddrive and comence editing.
[05:21] <rafaelscj> danielronin, do you have linux installed?
[05:21] <ziggy23> I had to reinstall windows, but this knocked out the GRUB bootloader.  How do I get it back?
[05:21] <dgjones> !grub | ziggy23
[05:21] <ubot3> ziggy23: 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
[05:21] <ziggy23> thx dgjones
[05:22] <wbode> I have tried various edits but have not been successful and was hoping there was a fix back to generic
[05:22] <xfreakk> how do you use oboard motherboard sound instead of a soundcard in linux
[05:22] <roadfish> I want to encode a DVD track as XviD but the instructions in http://k3b.plainblack.com/videoencoding make no sense.
[05:23] <roadfish> I have a project with VIDEO_TS.BUP through to VTS_02_4.vob files. I am doing track2 of the DVD. the instructions talk about a "Tools->Encode" menu entry ... but I don't see "Encode" under "Tools".
[05:23] <keith4_> i'm going to setup an ubuntu box for a windows user.... which version would be most appropriate?
[05:23] <danielronin> rafaelscj: kubuntu fiesty and backtrack2
[05:23] <keith4_> i don't want to have to support it
[05:23] <roadfish> what am I doing wrong. why is Encode missing from the Tools menu in k3b.
[05:23] <keith4_> i'm considering 6.06 and 7.04
[05:24] <peeps_work> when I wake from suspend, i found that my network manager would not connect or even show any wireless network.  I was able to get it working again by going into manual configuration and disabling wired connection.  can I do this from the command line/ script
[05:24] <pike_> keith4_: 7.04 will be more usable imo
[05:24] <keith4_> good enough for me, thanks
[05:24] <roadfish> can anyone give me some pointers on making a XviD file from a DVD track with k3b?
[05:24] <rafaelscj> danielronin, so, vista's partition shouldn't be "active"
[05:25] <Skyfalcon866> when will gusty gibbon be released
[05:25] <roadfish> it seems that k3b allows me to copy the vob files ... but how do I make a XviD avi file???
[05:26] <Skyfalcon866> roadfish: you have to convert the vob to xvid
[05:26] <dgjones> Skyfalcon866, 18th october apparantly
[05:26] <danielronin> rafaelscj: that was my understanding. no to mention i'm on live cd now in memoryspace, so nothing should be active except in /mnt, right?
[05:26] <xfreakk> ok does ANYONE know how to use motherboard sound instead of soundcard
[05:26] <lapinferoce> hello
[05:26] <roadfish> Skyfalcon866: can k3b help me to convert vob to xvid? or should I be using some other tool?
[05:26] <lapinferoce> hello
[05:27] <pike_> roadfish: i havent tried it but this naut script may be useful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=193754
[05:27] <Skyfalcon866> roadfish: i havent used k3b so i dont know i know ffmpeg can convert it but i dont know what the command is

[05:27] <wbode> If I boot from CD will the update manager make chnages to my hd install?
[05:27] <seanh> My system seems to be set to BST instead of GMT, so xclock and conky for example show the wrong time, how can I change it?
[05:27] <Jack_Sparrow> wbode: no
[05:27] <xfreakk> Jones my soundcard the soundblaster X-FI isnt supported by linux
[05:28] <wbode> thanks
[05:28] <rafaelscj> danielronin, do you mean "active" as "flag -a"?, I think live cds don't mount partitions automaticaly
[05:28] <Jack_Sparrow> wbode: YOu can move the updates to var/cache/apt/archives manually
[05:28] <Skyfalcon866> xfreakk: is the soundblaster X-FI card integrated to the motherboard or is a pci
[05:29] <xfreakk> Skyfalcon866: its pci
[05:29] <Jack_Sparrow> wbode: Is there some reason you dont do it from the hd install or it isnt bootable atm
[05:29] <Skyfalcon866> xfreaKK: I think you have to remove the sound card from the pci slot to use onboard
[05:29] <rafaelscj> wbode, you could use APTonCD
[05:29] <wbode> I have not been able to cope with the command line chnages successfully
[05:30] <xfreakk> SkyFalcon866: thank you i will do that after my interview in a few minutes thnx
[05:30] <wbode> I have tried a few times but with no success
[05:30] <Jack_Sparrow> rafaelscj: If you run gparted from the livecd it will mount partitions and show them on the desktop
[05:30] <danielronin> rafaelscj: is that how qtpartd labels an active drive? my memory isn't perfect, but i could swear that any other time i used qtpartd to make any changes, especially from the live cd, the drive wasn't shown as active
[05:30] <Skyfalcon866> xfreakk: what is the the integrated sound card on the motherboard
[05:30] <danielronin> i don't remember it ever being red
[05:31] <wbode> this all goes back to a graphics card change which I can't seem to make right
[05:31] <danielronin> rafaelscj: i also made no changes other than installing some applications to vista last night, i was not in either linux OS at all
[05:32] <Jack_Sparrow> wbode: If you use a persons nick... rember tab to complete people will know if you are talking to a specific person
[05:32] <telmich> anyone using latest ubuntu on a intel imac?
[05:32] <Jack_Sparrow> wbode: as far as the card change... did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ... select vesa and defaults on the rest, set max res to 1024 to get back in.
[05:33] <wbode> jack_sparrow I think I did but I will try again
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> wbode: Or you can post the HD xorg to the pastebin while running the livecd...
[05:33] <daning> who use 19' LCD?
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> wbode: select simple for the monitor setup
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> daning: lots of us.. just ask question
[05:34] <davee> Does anyone know if there is likely to be a planned upgrade path direct from Dapper (LTS) to Hardy Heron (also LTS, in April 2008)?  I know upgrades are only normally supported from one release to the next, but LTS->LTS might be nice ;-)  - anyone know?
[05:34] <doosht> hello
[05:34] <rafaelscj> danielronin, what is happening when you try to boot?
[05:34] <wbode> Jack_sparrow: thanks
[05:34] <linux4me> i'm trying to follow this link, https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html. i'm at "Mount the partition (mount /dev/sda1 /mnt) and copy the following files from the Ubuntu archives to the stick: vmlinuz (kernel library) etc. Where can I find initd.gz (initial ramdisk image)?
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> davee: It would be nice... but no idea
[05:35] <linux4me> make that initrd.gz
[05:35] <davee> Jack_Sparrow: :-)
[05:36] <Pici> davee: Hardy Heron is still a bit far off. Hopefully we will know more about the upgrade path once the UDS (Ubuntu Developer Summit) is done.

[05:39] <PriceChild> davee, as far as I am aware... LTS upgrades from Dapper to Hardy are planned.
[05:39] <plainas> this is supper silly question and it's not directly related to ubuntu...
[05:39] <PriceChild> davee, I'll try and find the spec for you if you want?
[05:39] <plainas> I have an external usb hard drive with 2 partitions on it
[05:39] <davee> PriceChild: Really?  That's be great :-)

[05:39] <davee> PriceChild: I'd certainly like to read about it...
[05:40] <PriceChild> plainas, copy the files from one partition to the other, delete the empty partition then enlarge the remaining one
[05:40] <PriceChild> davee, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSUpgrades
[05:40] <djupp> OK I've 6 Partitions (2 logical, one extended with 3 logicals) on my HD.. I'm now trying to enlarge the space reserved for ubuntu, my problem is, that the ubuntu-partitions are at the end of the disk, so I can't just enlarge with free space, as far as I could see from any of the tutorials I read
[05:40] <Dave_> what is the super button ?
[05:41] <Davy_Jones> plainas: do they have the same file system?
[05:41] <djupp> any advice on how to do this?

[05:41] <ikonia> da_the windows key
[05:41] <ikonia> oops
[05:41] <Dave_> thanks
[05:41] <rafaelscj> danielronin, I think you should install grub again, but before you should use FIXMBR to know if vista is fine

[05:42] <ziggy23> ok, read the faq on reinstalliing grub bootloader on my dual boot box...what's the *easiest, least fuss* way to do it from the FAQ at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows so that I get my dual boot menu back?
[05:42] <samiii> aq0.
[05:42] <Mohd> Guys, I got the following problem and I need help. Youtube doesen't produce sound while music does. I searched the internet and tried several ways and haven't solved it yet. Its gettg annoying, I need help.
[05:42] <eMaX_> what is wrong if free -m shows that I have a total of 3042 mb of which 2951 mb are used and 91 mb free and => shared 0 and buffers 0 and the hard disk is dying away writing or reading data?
[05:42] <Davy_Jones> Pici: he said hi guys
[05:42] <Davy_Jones> Pici: that's offtopic
[05:42] <davee> PriceChild: Thanks....
[05:43] <eMaX_> in addition, 2 gb of swap are used (out of 8 gb)
[05:43] <Pici> Davy_Jones: I disagree, but no need to dwell on this.
[05:43] <PriceChild> !guidelines > Davy_Jones
[05:43] <dystopianray> eMaX_: what are the values on the -/+ buffers/cache line?
[05:43] <djupp> anybody an idea on my partitioning issue?
[05:43] <eMaX_> ok used: 1941, +/- used: 1104
[05:43] <Mohd> Guys, I got the following problem and I need help. Youtube doesen't produce sound while music does. I searched the internet and tried several ways and haven't solved it yet. Its gettg annoying, I need help.
[05:44] <eMaX_> free: 1090; -/+ : 1938
[05:44] <elzbal> Mohd: Is the music outside of the web browser?
[05:44] <eMaX_> strange that the buffers are said to be 0
[05:44] <danielronin> rafaelscl: i'm new to vista, and this is m first dual (or tri) boot setup with it, will fixmbr bugger everything else al up?
[05:44] <dystopianray> eMaX_: there doesn't seem to be anything wrong
[05:44] <elzbal> Mohd: Or are you talking about music generated from a web page?
[05:44] <Helzibah> Mohd: is it flash or the browser that's at foult?
[05:44] <ikonia> Mohd what version of ubuntu are you using
[05:44] <Mohd> elzbal, no only Youtube.
[05:44] <ikonia> Mohd its most likey a flash plugin issue as you tuve has just done some updates
[05:44] <eMaX_> I mean I just started two vmwares of which one takes 400 mb and the other 1 gb and as soon as I started the second one the system goes into hard disk burnin test mode
[05:44] <elzbal> Mohd: Are you trying to do music and Youtube at the same time? It might be a simultaneous-sound issue....
[05:45] <Mohd> Only YouTube, I think its from the flash player. I have downloaded the latest flash player.
[05:45] <danielronin> rafaelscj: (SP) i'm new to vista, and this is m first dual (or tri) boot setup with it, will fixmbr bugger everything else al up?
[05:45] <eMaX_> dystopianray: then I looked into free and saw that buffers are reported to be at "0"
[05:45] <Mohd> elzbal, No, I shutted down all my music problems and it wont work.
[05:45] <elzbal> Mohd: Gotcha.

[05:45] <gs246> hi.i try connect using ssh to my remote computer and i have error ssh: connect to host edison.bath.ac.uk port 22: Connection refuse
[05:45] <Mohd> Ikonia, updated.
[05:46] <dgjones> Mohd, has the sound on youtube ever worked?
[05:46] <ikonia> Mohd ah, so you're using pretty much the latest flash played
[05:46] <dystopianray> gs246: you need to forward port 22 to the local machine
[05:46] <gs246> any idea what to do or maybe how to enable ssh on remote comp?
[05:46] <ikonia> gs246 I know bath uni well, its not open to seeh
[05:46] <ikonia> ssh
[05:46] <Mohd> dgjones on Linux ubuntu? Never.
[05:46] <dystopianray> gs246: do you have the ssh server started on the remote machine?
[05:46] <gs246> how to start ssh server?
[05:46] <Mohd> But on the same desktop with the same version of Linux it worked untill I formatted.
[05:46] <rafaelscj> ddanielronin, fixmbr will rewrite your mbr with NTRLD, the windows's boot manager, so you could boot vista up
[05:46] <Svish> This is probably not possible, but im just curious: Is it possible to let the Media Keys fall through a locked screen? And maybe also make them not turn off the screen saver? would be nice to be able to switch songs and adjust the volume even if the screen is locked or the screen saver is running...
[05:46] <djupp> I'm sorry if i wasn't nice enough. So once more, the only way I figured out to repartition my HD is to completely erase it and set it up from the beginning. Can I do backup of my system at the moment, and then extract it on a newly partitioned hd??
[05:46] <ikonia> gs246 is edison your box ?
[05:47] <rafaelscj> danielronin
[05:47] <Svish> gs246: apt-get install ssh
[05:47] <dystopianray> gs246: you need to install the openssh-server package
[05:47] <eMaX_> djupp?
[05:47] <djupp> eMaX_:
[05:47] <djupp> yes?
[05:47] <eMaX_> what's your question?
[05:47] <Helzibah> Mohd: my laptop does that after hibernate, try http://www.macewan.org/2006/06/01/howto-firefox-flash-video-sound-on-ubuntu-linux-dapper/
[05:47] <Svish> gs246: think that is what I did today, and it started automatically :) if not you have to start the sshd process or something
[05:47] <djupp> Ok, i've 5 partitions, and I have to enlarge 2 of them (one reiserfs one ext3)
[05:47] <eMaX_> don
[05:47] <dgjones> Mohd, there's a suggestion on ubuntuguide about problems with sound for youtube, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty search for youtube, maybe thats the answer
[05:48] <elzbal> djupp: Yes you can. Good tools for this are "tar" and "dd". You may also be able to change your parition size with gparted, if you boot from the CD.
[05:48] <eMaX_> t know whether it is possible to enlarge them live, yet you should be possible to  back them up, recreate them, then copy the content back
[05:48] <elzbal> djupp: I would back up everything before changing the partition size though.
[05:48] <djupp> eMaX_:  problem is, I can't use the space I freed.. so I'm thinking about repartitioning the whole hd.. elzbal: does that mean that I can get it back afterwards by simply untaring it into the root folder?
[05:48] <rafaelscj> restarting X...
[05:48] <eMaX_> what do you mean by you cannot use the space you freed
[05:49] <gs246> now i have ssh: connect to host bath.ac.uk port 22: No route to host
[05:49] <elzbal> djupp: Yes. Look up the tar flags first, by the way... you need to make sure to preserve file ownership and permissions.
[05:49] <djupp> it's in the partitions at the beginning (sda1 was vista, deleted, sda2 as well, sda3 is extended with sda4 reiserfs / and sda6 ext3 /home)

[05:49] <djupp> elzbal: ok, that sounds very nice
[05:49] <eMaX_> djupp as you do a backup anyways why not just recreate them

[05:50] <djupp> elzbal: so I will tar everything up, repartition, untar, reconfigure the bootloader and start up with my old system? :)
[05:50] <elzbal> djupp: Thats
[05:50] <elzbal> thats basically it.
[05:50] <djupp> wow
[05:50] <elzbal> djupp: And yes, I've done it before.  :)
[05:50] <gs246> edison is on the network but in the different department
[05:51] <djupp> elzbal: coool!
[05:51] <djupp> so I will get started back-uping then
[05:51] <djupp> ah yes, is there a way to omit /home as this should be a seperate backup?

[05:52] <AndyGraybeal> what is a good program to get photos off of my usb olympus 650z camera?
[05:52] <AndyGraybeal> er 560z
[05:52] <pike_> AndyGraybeal: you cant mount it?
[05:52] <ikonia> AndyGraybeal just mount it and use a file mounter to copy them off
[05:52] <AndyGraybeal> well i plug it in and i'm confused after that :)
[05:52] <elzbal> djupp: Make sure you use the "p" flag for preserving file ownership/permissions. You may want to use the z or j flag to compress, although it will take quite a bit longer.
[05:52] <AndyGraybeal> thanks!
[05:53] <kane77> AndyGraybeal, fspot?
[05:53] <djupp> elzbal: cool.. how about omitting /home?
[05:53] <spenser> join
[05:53] <pike_> AndyGraybeal: some cams cant be mounted most can though id apt-cache search olympus  or something maybe
[05:53] <djupp> elzbal: by now I'd say tar-xcvp /* or smth like that
[05:53] <danielronin> rafaelscj: it just barely flashes the "loading GRUB" screen, and then reboots over and over again
[05:53] <AndyGraybeal> ok
[05:54] <elzbal> djupp: "x" is for extract. I'd omit that one.  I'd use cpf.   Or cpvf if you want to look at the files. Or cpzf/cpjf if you want to compress.
[05:54] <djupp> oh yeah, don't know why i messed that up :D
[05:55] <elzbal> djupp: As for omitting home, I'd probably just be lazy and type the name of every directory but "home" into the command I use.
[05:55] <elzbal> Theres things you can do with flags, or the find command... but....
[05:55] <djupp> elzbal: so it'd be tar -cpzf /etc /usr /var etc. without /home
[05:55] <elzbal> djupp: Yup.
[05:56] <Ignominy> I am preparing to format over Breezy (I think) and install Fiesty, but I think that Grub is installed in a hard drive that has WinXP Pro installed on it.  I disconnected that hard drive to prevent accidental loss of information.  Is this going to cause a dual boot problem?
[05:56] <djupp> elzbal: cool, thanks very much.. I'll get back to you when I've made some progress
[05:56] <elzbal> djupp: well...     tar cpf mytarfile.tar /dir1 /dir2 /dir3 /etc
[05:56] <ikonia> Ignominy yes, you will have to setup the grub portiona  manually, and when you insert the disk again
[05:56] <francois> does anyone know where i can get help with tomsrtbt to install ubuntu ?
[05:57] <djupp> elzbal: ok, yeah, I think I'll figure out the syntax.. I just wasn't sure if this really works or not :)
[05:57] <nathan> if I have apache going, does that allow sql?
[05:57] <danielronin> rafaelscj, still there?
[05:57] <Ignominy> ikonia, whould it be better to reconnect that hard drive so that Grub can do its thing?
[05:57] <ikonia> Ignominy sounds good
[05:58] <Ignominy> ikonia, currently grub has like 10 different boot options.  will this reinstall cleanup and remove all the unnecessary entries?
[05:59] <ikonia> possible
[05:59] <rafaelscj> danielronin, I don't know how to fix that, If I were you I would use FIXMBR,
[06:00] <knoppix> hi
[06:00] <elzbal> rafaelscj: To clean up unused grub entries, take a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst (carefully!)
[06:01] <rafaelscj> danielronin, use the vista's DVD to get a comand line and type fixmbr
[06:02] <annihilus> whats the best way to format a removable disk (say to fat)
[06:02] <rafaelscj> elzbal, his grub isn't working at all
[06:02] <danielronin> when grus is set up with vista, it's more of an extension to the MBR than an entry itslf, correct?
[06:03] <elzbal> rafaelscj: Gotcha. And I just realized I addressed the wrong person. sry. :)
[06:03] <danielronin> rafaelscj, forgive my typing
[06:04] <kl4m> From what I remember the Vista boot code is on the first sector of its "system" partition
[06:05] <Ignominy> elzbal, I can look at the menu.lst using the live cd in the terminal, correct?

[06:06] <jaggy> ey is it posible to install a lexmark p704 on ubuntu if so how ?
[06:06] <con^v1rus-afk> hello, which version should i choose for sempron 3500+ 32bit or 64?
[06:07] <kl4m> con^v1rus-afk: 32bit is always a safe bet, especially if you want to run proprietary stuff like Macromedia Flash
[06:07] <roadfish> I noticed that Debian has k3b 1.0.2 in their testing. However, Ubuntu "apt-get install k3b" only takes me to k3b 1.0.0 ... Does Ubuntu have something like the "testing" notion (say by adding something to /etc/apt/sources.list)?
[06:07] <jaggy> ey is it posible to install a lexmark p704 on ubuntu if so how ?
[06:08] <elliotjhug> con^v1rus-afk: Both should work, but as kl4m says. 32bits will work with almost everything
[06:08] <elzbal> con^v1rus-afk: If in doubt, use 32-bit.
[06:08] <wooooosh> I've just started using crontab and understand that it sends an email to root. If this is correct, does my ubuntu act as a mail server and how do I access this email? :)
[06:08] <ikonia> wooooosh ubuntu has postfix installed by default
[06:08] <elzbal> con^v1rus-afk: Some of the sempron processors have been shipped without 64-bit extensions at all (my wife's cpu, for one). So it's difficult to answer.  :)
[06:08] <ikonia> mail is delivered to your users Mail directory
[06:08] <Alejandr0> hello, i got no sound in Quake 2 and neither can go full screen, what can i do?
[06:09] <elliotjhug> con^v1rus-afk: the 3500+ does have 64bit as far as the reviews say. But I say you should use 32
[06:09] <wooooosh> ikonia, is it ~/Mail ?
[06:09] <zornyc> hey guys, is there a virtual accessibility keyboard in ubuntu, or is there a package i can install?
[06:09] <ikonia> wooooosh spot on
[06:09] <elzbal> con^v1rus-afk: But if you do have 64-bit extensions, you'll get a bit of a boost running the 32-bit anyway.
[06:09] <VSpike> roadfish: you could enable feisty backports repository
[06:09] <VSpike> roadfish: I've got 1.0.3 from somewhere
[06:09] <wooooosh> ikonia, well I don't have one :O - I think I need to install postfix lol

[06:16] <michael_te> JeevesMoss: Does the commandline tool (mysql -u username -p) work?
[06:17] <JeevesMoss> michael_te:  yes, and I can connect to it from a GUI from an external address
[06:17] <zornyc> now its just get messy, going from the remote machine to the one i'm using, i always endup having capslock when i dont want to
[06:17] <pandora--> michael_te: where do i do that? in synaptic or just find the file?
[06:17] <michael_te> pandora--: I just edit the /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:18] <kal> hi
[06:18] <zornyc> how hard could it be to have a virtual accessibility keyboard
[06:18] <eifelzocker> hi guys
[06:18] <zornyc> it would solve this easily
[06:18] <pandora--> oh, its dapper right now
[06:18] <michael_te> pandora--: in synaptic it's under Settings-Repositories
[06:18] <zornyc> is such a thing exists?
[06:18] <eifelzocker> how to install wine?
[06:18] <pandora--> so s/dapper/fiesty ?
[06:18] <logik-bomb> hi
[06:18] <eifelzocker> and also how to run it?
[06:18] <JeevesMoss> michael_te:  yes, and I can connect to it from a GUI from an external address
[06:18] <michael_te> pandora--: Then first from dapper to edgy and then from edgy to feisty
[06:18] <kal> is it possible to install ubuntu feisty on macbook without mac os x? I  just want a partition for my feisty and another one for Windows, that's all...
[06:18] <pandora--> ah gotcha
[06:19] <Devyll> thanks guys
[06:19] <michael_te> JeevesMoss: I don't know the test scripts, but have you tried an own script?
[06:19] <JeevesMoss> michael_te:  www.penn-tawsha.net/test.php
[06:19] <michael_te> JeevesMoss: The standard Qt3-template in KDevelop didn't work some time ago, too
[06:20] <JeevesMoss> michael_te:  www.penn-tawsha.net/test.php
[06:20] <logik-bomb> How do I share (with read/write) a hardrive on my ubuntu with a windows network? It with samba only?
[06:20] <Martin_-_> How do i change font in the terminal?
[06:21] <ikonia> logik-bomb samba is by far the best real option
[06:21] <pandora--> michael_te: reload package information -> mark all upgrades -> apply (sound right?)
[06:22] <logik-bomb> ikonia so I can mount a hardrive and add it to the samba conf. And thats only that..?
[06:22] <michael_te> pandora--: Seems to be okay
[06:22] <pandora--> michael_te: thanks for your help :)
[06:22] <ikonia> logik-bomb no no no, its uch more than that
[06:22] <michael_te> pandora--: Just repeat it until no updates are left, then proceed to feisty
[06:22] <danielronin> rafaelscj, i just tried restoring grub from the shell, and got the following message: Error 6: Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2
[06:22] <ikonia> logik-bomb its much more complex then that
[06:23] <danielronin> is this because i've manually made changes to menu.lst?
[06:23] <michael_te> Is there any way I can change my architecture from amd64 to x86 without reinstalling?
[06:23] <linux__alien> how do i recover my grub in Ubuntu 7.04
[06:23] <logik-bomb> ikonia can you teach me?
[06:23] <ikonia> logik-bomb https://help.ubuntu.com there are guides on there
[06:23] <danielronin> rafaelscj: have a look: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37122/
[06:23] <logik-bomb> thanks
[06:24] <ikonia> no problem
[06:24] <ikonia> logik-bomb ask if you have specific questions
[06:24] <ikonia> but the guide should get you 90 of the way
[06:24] <ikonia> %90
[06:24] <logik-bomb> thanks
[06:24] <michael_te> JeevesMoss: do you have php5-mysql installed?
[06:24] <askand> Which of these startup services is unneeded?
[06:24] <askand> dnsmasq, xinetd, nfs-common, hplip
[06:25] <michael_te> askand: depends on wich you use
[06:25] <_trine> I have lost my kde screen ,, no icons but i can get a console is there anyway to get kde back up or failing that can I reinstall and save my settings
[06:25] <askand> michael_te: Hmm i dont really know..im printing on a hp printer in my network..but do I need hplip for that?
[06:25] <whileimhere> Does Bluefish have FTP capabilities?
[06:26] <michael_te> trine_: When you deinall something, the configuration will be left untouched
[06:26] <linux__alien> how do i recover my grub in my system. Windows XP overwrote my MBR so could someone help me ?
[06:26] <gumby600m> soccer
[06:26] <michael_te> askand: I don't know exactly, but I think it would be more work to figure out, if it does, than to leave it running
[06:27] <tom__> hi, how can i make ubuntu run a command when it mounts my usb stick?
[06:27] <clockwise> #join ubuntu-gr
[06:27] <askand> michael_te: okey..so I dont save so much ram turning om services in ubuntu as I did in XP?
[06:27] <michael_te> askand: Generally it isn't worth the hassle
[06:28] <rafaelscj> danielronin, let me see
[06:28] <michael_te> askand: how much ram do you have?
[06:28] <askand> michael_te: 512
[06:28] <michael_te> askand: with 512mb you shouldn't worry about hplib ;)
[06:28] <tarntow> how should i go about using my backup repository as i think i have completely messed up the current one? thanx
[06:29] <askand> michael_te:  okok and not the other things I said?

[06:29] <`Matir> other than system 76, what other vendors sell notebooks with ubuntu pre-installed?
[06:29] <gumby600m> I'm running Ubuntu Feisty with the default version of gnome.  I have 2 apps running on two work spaces.  I have a panel that displays the currently running windows on the current workspace at the bottom of the screen.  How do I get the bottom panel to list all windows across all workspaces?
[06:30] <linux__alien> is there any method by which grub could be recovered in Ubuntu?
[06:30] <linux__alien> i am using 7.04
[06:30] <linux__alien> My MBR has got overwritten
[06:30] <michael_te> askand: if you use any networkdrives over nfs you need nfs-common
[06:30] <linux__alien> how do i recover it
[06:30] <PriceChild> !fixgrub | linux__alien
[06:30] <ubot3> linux__alien: 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
[06:30] <kl4m> gumby600m: there is an option in the panel's preferences
[06:30] <`Matir> linux__alien, grub-install
[06:30] <ikonia> `Matir thats not a great idea
[06:30] <kl4m> gumby600m: I mean the Window list preferences
[06:30] <ikonia> linux__alien follow the link pricechild gave you
[06:31] <kl4m> Must be something like "show windows from all spaces"
[06:31] <raky> my google bookmarks in the google toolbar are not loading.  what should i do about it?
[06:31] <gumby600m> kl4m: ahhh.... cool, tx!
[06:31] <wouterl> I can't record sound from my mic. Driver is snd-intel8x0. Capture is set on mic in alsamixer. Playing sound etc works, even playback. Where can I find extra information etc? (i'm using debian etch, but nobody seems to answer me in the debian support channel)
[06:32] <xazo> jrib, do you know of linux program that allows for MS Office to run on linux? I open Wine and select executable but nothing happens. Im thinking WINE isnt my answer. or is it?
[06:32] <Pici> wouterl: Then ask in #debian
[06:32] <kl4m> tarntow what repository? apt sources list?
[06:33] <Pici> wouterl: This is only for Ubuntu support unfortunately, despite any similarities between distros.
[06:33] <PriceChild> xazo, what's wrong with openoffice?
[06:33] <wouterl> k
[06:33] <scipio> raky, are you using the same profile that you used in windows?
[06:33] <logik-bomb> adding this /dev/hda1    /media/bakcup ext3  iocharset=utf8,umask=000  0    0   is this ok to add to my fstab? Thanks
[06:33] <raky> yeah, scipio
[06:34] <tarntow> kl4m: yes my current sources.list is all messed up...no longer able to load
[06:34] <ikonia> logik-bomb looks fine
[06:34] <logik-bomb> thanks
[06:34] <scipio> raky, i had the same problem. it seems the google toolbar for windows doesn't work that well in linux. so i uninstalled and installed the linux google toolbar
[06:34] <xazo> PriceChild, Open Office doesnt play nice with sharing and collaborating Microsoft Project Files.
[06:34] <xazo> Otherwise I would use Open Office.
[06:35] <kl4m> tarntow: clear the file /etc/apt/sources.list. You can then set the default repositories back with synaptic
[06:35] <raky> scipio, i use the windows toolbar in windows, and the linux toolbar in linux.  and i never use IE
[06:35] <tarntow> kl4m: as it delete everything inside and leave it as an empty folder
[06:36] <raky> scipio: i think i misunderstood the "profile" reference
[06:36] <kl4m> tarntow: wohwohwoh
[06:36] <scipio> raky, if you have the same profile you can't possibly have both toolbars active at the same time. so you either have to use two profiles or give up the toolbar functionality either under linux or windows
[06:36] <mthed> How can i change the default program videos start with? I know the right > open with other application, but what about applications that aren't on that list. For example vlc media player?
[06:36] <kl4m> tarntow: /etc/apt/sources.list is a file. Make it an empty file
[06:37] <DjViper> which ssl package do I need to run MSN over Pidgin on FF ?
[06:37] <ikonia> tarntow why do you want to empty sourceslist
[06:37] <ikonia> ?
[06:37] <PriceChild> DjViper, why pidgin?
[06:37] <raky> both aren't active at the same time, but they are using the same profile, scipio
[06:37] <PriceChild> DjViper, gaim is in ff and works perfectly
[06:38] <tarntow> ikonia: somehow chopping and changing has damaged to a point where it's just not working at all
[06:38] <DjViper> PriceChild: I want to try it
[06:38] <tarntow> kl4m: thx
[06:38] <PriceChild> DjViper, its not worth the effort
[06:38] <DjViper> oh, why?
[06:38] <PriceChild> DjViper, it looks slightly different, and there's a few other changes
[06:38] <PriceChild> !highno | DjViper
[06:38] <ubot3> DjViper: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos.
[06:39] <DjViper> PriceChild: okay, either way, I'd like to use it
[06:39] <scipio> raky, exactly. if you have one profile you can't have installed both. so if now you're using ubuntu and uninstall/install the toolbar you'll see that it's working. when you switch to windows you'll see it's not working there anymore. you can't have both :)
[06:39] <ikonia> DjViper even if it potentially breaks your whole system if you install it wrong?
[06:39] <DjViper> PriceChild: so which ssl lib do I need to grab?
[06:39] <hello_world995> test
[06:39] <ikonia> DjViper just hang on until 7.10 and see if its fesity
[06:39] <raky> thx scipio, that's weird :(
[06:39] <ikonia> hello_world995 test worked
[06:39] <DjViper> ikonia: it is
[06:39] <ikonia> oops gusty
[06:39] <ikonia> ok so hang on
[06:40] <ikonia> rather than potentially break your system
[06:40] <hello_world995> yes, it did
[06:40] <scipio> raky, yeah maybe they will fix it in a future release
[06:40] <DjViper> ikonia: how can it break my system?
[06:40] <ikonia> by installing conflicting packages that other softrware needs
[06:40] <PriceChild> DjViper, because you don't know exactly what you're diong.
[06:41] <goodtod> i have a script running rsync with --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh -p 1215 and i understand why that breaks but i dont understand why it would start breaking now when it was working before?
[06:41] <DjViper> PriceChild: are you talking about pidgin itself, or the ssl lib now?
[06:41] <ikonia> DjViper both
[06:41] <PriceChild> DjViper, if you really want to do this, I'd suggest either backporting the gutsy packages, manually or using prevu... or perhaps if you want to do it from upstream svn etc. to install the build deps for gaim and that should sort it.
[06:41] <kl4m> DjViper: there is a deb there : http://www.getdeb.net/release.php?id=817 I wonder if it'll get the dependencies
[06:41] <Stwange> can anyone link me to a page that takes ages to load? I need to check the stop button
[06:42] <mikes`> hi this is mikes  mother, do any one you know where he is?
[06:42] <ikonia> !offtopic > mikes`
[06:42] <Stwange> never mind :)
[06:43] <pillowpants> i just closed a game of armagatron, and my screen went to a really small resolution
[06:43] <gcrackah> haha
[06:43] <pillowpants> how do i fix it?
[06:43] <raky> scipio: i may have another problem with my amd64
[06:43] <mikes`> he didnt come home yesterday night, do you know if he is ok?
[06:43] <pillowpants> so that x is reset
[06:43] <gcrackah> he played too much bioshock
[06:43] <riotkittie> ok. i /should/ be able to get a wireless adapter with a ralink chipset to work, especially if there are drivers for it, eh?
[06:43] <riotkittie> or is the rt2570 just the root of all evil? :|
[06:43] <AndyGraybeal> mikes`, does yuo know of any other chat channels he hangs out in?
[06:43] <PriceChild> mikes`, we don't know who you or your "son" are... we're all complete strangers and this channel is for support of the ubuntu operating system ONLY.
[06:44] <riotkittie> maybe he was sucked into the matrix. <hides>

[06:46] <fenrig> hi i can't acces the internet using ubuntu
[06:47] <fenrig> for some strange reason
[06:47] <eugman> Firstly, can distutils make deb files? Secondly, is there a specifc structure to how files for a game are placed on a system? I want to make a python game into a deb but it needs to know where it's data and local libs are located
[06:47] <fenrig> i have adsl and a usb modem of asus
[06:47] <Michae1> I need to turn on the "virtual memory" , how do I do that ?
[06:47] <ikonia> Michae1 its swap space - it should already be on
[06:48] <gcrackah> mikes`: we found your son, he's on a different nick
[06:48] <PriceChild> !offtopic | gcrackah
[06:48] <ubot3> gcrackah: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:48] <rafaelscj> synaptics uses all bandwitch, how can i fix it? is there a way?
[06:48] <Michae1> Ikonia: I am trying to run Titan quest in Wine and it is telling me to enable the virtual meory...
[06:49] <gcrackah> do i need two wlan adapters to run kismet?
[06:49] <d3ck4_> gcrackah, no..
[06:49] <riotkittie> anyone know, from personal experience, a wifi usb adapter that will work out of the box? preferrably from dapper upwards. or if not out of the box, with minor beating into submission?
[06:49] <wooooosh> fenrig, I don't know how to solve your problem (sorry), but what I can tell you is that USB modems are quite difficult to get working on linux - if possible use an ethernet connection
[06:49] <rafaelscj> gcrackah, no
[06:50] <fenrig> well i tried it and it doesnt connect
[06:50] <PriceChild> riotkittie, intel chipset? ralink has always done me fine but not the best...
[06:50] <gcrackah> i didn't think so, i need to put my interface into rfmon mode right?
[06:50] <Skyfalcon866> #debian
[06:50] <fenrig> i mean i can use an enthernet card
[06:51] <fenrig> but i can't seem to acces the internet
[06:51] <riotkittie> PriceChild: i will look into that :|  i have a ralink now, and got it because it was on a list of cards that were supposed to work. boy, was i surprised :P

[06:57] <Argazm> I just need to get ndiswrapper running on the live cd so I can use the .inf driver I have and see if it works ok before installing
[06:57] <PriceChild> usser, then please understand why we suggest sudo over su in this channel.
[06:57] <riotkittie> maybe i should just suck it up and go the ndiswrapper route, as was suggested by somebody last night. but. ugh.
[06:58] <kousotu> Argazm: what driver?
[06:58] <Rondom> Argazm: do you have wired connection available? download latest ndiswrapper, kernel-headers and build-essential

[06:59] <kousotu> Argazm: I have yet to have any ndis issues with any driver I used it for
[06:59] <billy> Salut
[06:59] <riotkittie> Argazm: you should be able to install anyway, live cd or not. iirc, i was able to apt-get and run from the live cd
[06:59] <Argazm> man, if only ndiswrapper was installed by default on liv cd's... would make life a lot easier
[06:59] <shal3r> Is it possible to compile kernel module on ubuntu livecd? I am trying to compile wireless card driver but got error about missing "linux/config.h"
[06:59] <Rondom> Argazm: yes, but you can do so
[07:00] <kousotu> shal3r: is build-essential installed?
[07:00] <Argazm> the laptop is wireless and the server pc is sharing the .net... if I cant get ndiswrapper running, I cannot connect to download it
[07:00] <shal3r> kousotu, on livecd?
[07:00] <riotkittie> granted that you have a decent amount of RAM...
[07:00] <Rondom> shal3r, Argazm: you have to install the kernel-headers and build-essential
[07:00] <shal3r> Rondom, on livecd?
[07:00] <kousotu> shal3r: did you apt-get it?
[07:00] <Ignominy> I have installed the nvidia-glx package and type the following in the terminal: sudo nvidia-xconfig -add-argb-glx-visuals   it gives me an "invalid option" error.  what gives?
[07:00] <Rondom> shal3r: yes
[07:00] <shal3r> oktanouc, thx
[07:00] <riotkittie> i will get this adapter working or ... drink myself to death.
[07:01] <kousotu> Argazm: steal the ethernet from the other one?
[07:01] <Argazm> I cannot, it's a server PC, cannot be unplugged
[07:01] <kousotu> Argazm: ah...
[07:01] <kousotu> BABA_RECORD: ????
[07:02] <Photon> hes asking for credit cards
[07:02] <Photon> ban the mofo
[07:02] <riotkittie> well, let me whip mine out.
[07:02] <Argazm> it's ok, I'll use DSL instead...
[07:02] <kousotu> lol
[07:02] <imcsk8> hello, is there any guide to install ubuntu server on a sun t1000??
[07:02] <seraph47> hey guys, is there a way to convert a fat32 into an ext3 or ntfs thru linux?
[07:02] <ikonia> seraph47 best not to convert, backup, recreate filesystem, restore data
[07:02] <kousotu> Argazm: I would dls to grab what you need and install the driver on ndiswrapper, it shouldn't have any problems
[07:03] <alyx> hello
[07:03] <alyx> i have a strange Vmware question
[07:03] <seraph47> ikonia: ??
[07:03] <JeevesMoss> is anyone here able to help me troubleshoot this LAMP insall problem of not being able to connect to my MySQL server through PHP
[07:03] <imcsk8> seraph47: copy all the files to the ext3 partition
[07:03] <riotkittie> yay.
[07:03] <ikonia> seraph47 backup your data, re-create the file system with the correct options then restore the data
[07:03] <shal3r> Rondom, kousotu: now i have kernel-headers and build-essential installed via apt-get, but error is the same - missing linux/config.h
[07:03] <ikonia> shal3r what are you trying to do ?
[07:03] <kousotu> ll
[07:03] <kousotu> lol*
[07:03] <genii> usser: heh
[07:03] <elzbal> BABA_RECORD: Sorry, I don't work, nor do I have credit cards.
[07:03] <seraph47> let me clarify: i bought an external drive thats fat32
[07:04] <khatahn> is there an easy to use "backup/encrypt files to dvd" -system for linux?
[07:04] <shal3r> ikonia, i need to compile wireless card driver on ubuntu livecd 7.*
[07:04] <seraph47> i want that to be ntfs or ext3
[07:04] <ikonia> shal3r which card is it
[07:04] <ikonia> seraph47 ahh I see
[07:04] <sumsl> <- heim, bis spter *wink* [amsg[
[07:04] <ikonia> just format it with the file system you want
[07:04] <alyx> ok here go's i have my laptop with kubuntu installed and im happy, I have a Vm for my windows apps, my problem is kububtu doesnt recognize my interal wireless card so i bought the orinoco card and was happy
[07:04] <ikonia> seraph47 which do you want ext3 of ntfs
[07:04] <riotkittie> if there's anything on the drive you need to keep, back it up. then use gparted or fdisk or cfdisk or whatever to remove the file sys, and recreate
[07:04] <pike_> alyx: now you are sad?
[07:04] <alyx> now i want to be able to use the orinoco while in linux and my internal brodcom while in vm can this be done?
[07:04] <usser> seraph47 if u bought it new it should be unformatted ie dont have any filesystems on it
[07:05] <shal3r> ikonia, realtek 8185
[07:05] <logik-bomb> how do I change the "myFiles" name on samba?
[07:05] <shal3r> RTK8185L
[07:05] <seraph47> ikonia: id prefer ntfs, so that my windoze box can read it
[07:05] <alyx> pike yes slightly lol
[07:05] <ikonia> shal3r I thought realteks where reasonable supported
[07:05] <seraph47> usser: its recognized as fat32
[07:05] <ikonia> seraph47 best to format it in windows
[07:05] <ikonia> seraph47 nothing formats a drive like its natuve os
[07:05] <usser> seraph47 if theres no info on it just reformat it
[07:05] <ikonia> native os
[07:05] <shal3r> ikonia, but i am trying to compile drivers from realtek homepage
[07:05] <seraph47> ikonia: i was thinking that, just wanted to know about any other methods
[07:05] <genii> seraph47: There is an ext driver, as well, for Windows
[07:05] <usser> seraph47 gparted
[07:05] <alyx> any suggestions?
[07:05] <ikonia> shal3r is there a reason your not using the ones in the kernel (assuming its suported)
[07:06] <usser> !gparted | seraph47
[07:06] <ubot3> seraph47: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[07:06] <djupp> !gparted
[07:06] <shal3r> ikonia, looks like they isn`t here
[07:06] -Mez:#ubuntu- PLEASE NOTE: It is unwise and unsafe to give out your credit card details over the internet. If anyone here asks for them, then DO NOT give them out.
[07:06] <seraph47> usser: can you format from gparted, i thought you could only resize
[07:06] <neverblue> hehe
[07:06] <seraph47> usser: btw i have gparted running right now on my windoze box :D
[07:06] <civichb> I have a quick question
[07:06] <ikonia> shal3r which card again, let me take a look
[07:06] <usser> seraph47 it can do everything
[07:06] <riotkittie> civichb: and that question is... ?

[07:07] <civichb> I installed ubuntu on a 4.5gb partition to test it out on an old machine. Unfortunately, Ubuntu asked me to update when I got online. I did that, and tried to install a few misc. programs. It filled the partition and now I can't log on to the OS.....

[07:07] <Knight_On_White> i have 2 computer connected on router , (computer names : comp1 , comp2) , when i use the browser and want to go to the other computer i need to type : "smb://comp2" , i would like  if there is a way to avoid type "smb://" ?
[07:07] <shal3r> ikonia, RTK8185L
[07:07] <kousotu> ikonia: new realteks aren't

[07:09] <uriahheep> (there are two more lines like that afterit)
[07:09] <riotkittie> are there adapters that will make pcmcia cards usable in PCs? really stupid question, i am sure but... at least my laptop's wireless works under linux :P
[07:09] <ikonia> shal3r there is a binary driver for it
[07:10] <riotkittie> under ubuntu, rather.
[07:10] <Pici> riotkittie: Yes, there are.
[07:10] <Knight_On_White> kousotu : sorry i am new at linux .. what is "bookmarks" ?
[07:10] <shal3r> ikonia, what`s name for it?
[07:10] <pike_> riotkittie: they cost about at much as a pci wireless card though
[07:10] <kousotu> Knight_On_White: browser bookmarks
[07:10] <ikonia> shal3r you get it from the realtek site, but it also states that orinoco drivers should work for basic functionality
[07:10] <ikonia> I don't know how accurate that is though
[07:10] <Pici> !test
[07:10] <shal3r> ikonia, thanks, i will try
[07:11] <Wardje> Can anyone help me with this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37129/
[07:11] <ubotu> failed
[07:11] <Pici> Wardje:  sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:11] <usser> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37129/
[07:11] <riotkittie> not that i could really go that route anyway, having no free pci slots :|
[07:11] <usser> sorry
[07:11] <Knight_On_White> kousotu : where i can define thats "bookmarks" ?
[07:12] <elzbal> Wardje: Why not just apt-get install bitchx?
[07:12] <ikonia> Wardje bitchX is in the ubuntu repo
[07:12] <ikonia> elzbal one step behind you
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> or irssi :)
[07:12] <kousotu> how do you go aboutconnecting to the other computer?
[07:12] <civichb> how can I load ubuntu if the partition it is on is full?
[07:12] <kousotu> and what's the os you're familiat with?
[07:12] <riotkittie> irssi <3
[07:12] <ikonia> kousotu how do you want to auto connect - what service
[07:12] <usser> kousotu there are millions of ways samba, nfs, ftp
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> civichb you mean Install  Ubuntu to a windows system with no free/unallocated drive sopace?
[07:12] <riotkittie> civichb: you'll need to free up some space and repartition.
[07:13] <usser> kousotu u want to connect to the windows machine from ubuntu
[07:13] <Wardje> elzbal and ikonia, I had no idea I could do that.
[07:13] <civichb> no. I mean the partition that ubunut is on is full
[07:13] <civichb> ubuntu
[07:13] <Knight_On_White> i have ubuntu server 7.04 , how can i give someone full access to my system ?
[07:13] <civichb> so it would let me logon
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> civichb and how big is this partition?
[07:13] <keito> why when copying would I get an omitting directory message???
[07:13] <riotkittie> how big is ubuntu's part?
[07:13] <kousotu> to all: was not asking but Knight_On_White
[07:13] <ikonia> Knight_On_White you should be very careful doing that
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> it shouldent get so full that you cant login.
[07:13] <ikonia> kousotu let him ask then
[07:13] <civichb> 4.5 gb
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> theres a 5% reserved space normally.
[07:13] <elzbal> Wardje: No worries. I always look in the repository first.  :)
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> but egads 4.5 gb is tiny. :0
[07:14] <usser> Knight_On_White what do u mean?
[07:14] <riotkittie> keito ...  use the -r flag ?
[07:14] <civichb> si.. I know

[07:14] <kousotu> ikonia: ....
[07:14] <civichb> i wanted to try it.. I didn't mean to fill the partition in 30 mins.. just testing
[07:14] <Mr-Snick> do i have to remove wine for cedega to kick in so i can install games?
[07:14] <riotkittie> wait. is it -r?  ignore me. my brain has been liquified
[07:14] <keito> riotkittie: yes
[07:14] <keito> riotkittie: me stoopid!!!
[07:14] <elzbal> Mr-Snick: No, you can have both wine and cedega at the same time
[07:14] <administrator> can anyone help me with the program zabbix
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> civichb thers should be some rescue mode if the system is not booting to X propelry.  What is it not doing exactly?
[07:14] <elzbal> Mr-Snick: They do not clobber each others files/
[07:15] <civichb> just a second I will boot the machine again and type the error on here
[07:15] <Mr-Snick> elzbal: then how do i get the game to install. Cedega doesnt seem to noice the Game when i put it in the dvd-rom
[07:15] <rafaelscj> is cedega opensource?
[07:15] <nanonyme> no
[07:15] <Mr-Snick> no
[07:15] <rafaelscj> okay
[07:15] <Pici> rafaelscj: its commericial
[07:16] <NET||abuse> Hi all.. having an odd one here, trying to connect my psp to rhythmbox, i drag some tracks over and it sticks them under /psp/music/psp/music/podcastname/blah.mp3  where as i've been managing to manually stick files in under just /music/ to allow playback on it.
[07:16] <nanonyme> cedega is a commercial product which should have its own complaint channels
[07:16] <NET||abuse> Am I doing something wrong ?
[07:16] <keito> rafaelscj: cedega is a wine offshoot
[07:16] <usser> rafaelscj it is based on opensource wine but adds a nice user interface and some various hacks to be compatible with more games
[07:16] <nanonyme> keito, it was
[07:16] <Mr-Snick> cedega is wine on steriods basically lol.
[07:16] <riotkittie> i could make my life so much easier if i'd just set my la fonera on fire and buy a router.  then i could just use a wired connection on my desktop when i felt the need
[07:16] <faileas> cediga is open source but commercial ;)
[07:16] <Baktaah> Has anyone gotten Intel 4965 AGN wireless to work in ubuntu and how? Thats all I got a problem with...
[07:16] <shal3r> ikonia, i modprobed all orinoco modules. What to do now?
[07:16] <nanonyme> cedega is an offshoot of wine from the eras when it had no directx
[07:16] <keito> nanonyme: was... (and always will be?!!)
[07:16] <keito> ;0)
[07:16] <faileas> riotkittie: get a WRT54gl ! ;p
[07:16] <ikonia> shal3r did it load any ?
[07:16] <nanonyme> wine has come further than cedega
[07:17] <shal3r> ikonia, all
[07:17] <elzbal> Mr-Snick: I'm not a cedega expert... but do the mount/detect game disk buttons not work?
[07:17] <Knight_On_White> i have 2 questions : i have 2 computer connected on router, and i want full access between them, how i can do that ?
[07:17] <elzbal> Mr-Snick: Are you using the cedega UI?
[07:17] <Mastastealth> hey guys, my laptop has lost its hardware acceleration, and now all my 3D stuff runs slow and eats my CPU. this happened after I updated my kernel to 2.6.20-16.31. I tried reinstalling drivers, and using the Envy script to get the latest. X starts fine with the nvidia drivers, it just doesnt have acceleration. any ideas?
[07:17] <keito> nanonyme: you sure?
[07:17] <nanonyme> yes
[07:17] <ikonia> shal3r did you get an extra device in ifconfig -a ?
[07:17] <faileas> hmm
[07:17] <keito> nanonyme: thought ced was better for games
[07:17] <faileas> actually
[07:17] <nanonyme> directx is nowadays more ready in wine than cedega
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> the cedega forums discuss different games and the cd-detection/mounting issues it can have.
[07:17] <Mr-Snick> elzbal: i've tryed to use the mount. and it does nothing after i click it
[07:17] <keito> nanonyme: word
[07:17] <faileas> riotkittie: how does fon work? ;p
[07:17] <nanonyme> and wine people are starting to make directx10
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> some times its the game thats the issue.. they scan for cd change in odd ways.
[07:17] <Mr-Snick> elzbal: http://www.cedega.com/support/quickstart/#5.3.Installing%20a%20Game%20|outline
[07:17] <shal3r> ikonia, no :/
[07:18] <elzbal> nanonyme: For me, Cedega works better for things like Guild Wars and CS. As soon as wine works better, I will drop Cedega like a bad habit. :)
[07:18] <riotkittie> fon would work better if i had people connecting :x
[07:18] <keito> the only game I want is ***ENEMY TERRITORY : QUAKE WARS***
[07:18] <usser> keito right on
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> most of the id games have naytive linux ports dont they. :)
[07:18] <usser> keito et rocks
[07:19] <nanonyme> elzbal, it might have some special hacks that make it work better, true. eventually when wine implements the WinAPI better and better, you don't really need anything else
[07:19] <elzbal> Mr-Snick: Well, you're beyond what I can reasonably troubleshoot... the cedega forums are pretty good... at least, they have been for me in the past.
[07:19] <ras420> anyone running a dual boot powerbook g4??
[07:19] <keito> usser: you played qw?
[07:19] <Mr-Snick> elzbal: ok thank you
[07:19] <elzbal> nanonyme: And I eagerly await that day.  :)
[07:20] <keito> I just eagerly await the day when companies make the software for linux in the first place ;0)
[07:20] <elzbal> ^ Agreed. And also eagerly awaiting Quake Wars.  :)
[07:20] <ssarangi> Hi all, my kde display manager crashed and from then on although the display manager for login screen comes its unable to start either gnome or kde
[07:20] <faileas> riotkittie: thats half the fun. more concerned about stuff like contracts and cost ;p
[07:20] <usser> keito nah i play original et
[07:20] <rafaelscj> But wine is GNU, so I think cedega must be too
[07:20] <keito> ssarangi: did you do anything prior?
[07:21] <keito> usser: QW should be brill though - the original is still blazing
[07:21] <ssarangi> nothing.. it was running torrents and then it suddenly crashed
[07:21] <elzbal> rafaelscj: Cedega forked just before wine went to GPL. (In fact, I think they went to GPL *because* of the Cedega fork)
[07:21] <Knight_On_White> someone here have littlebit knowledge on the software "SUN GRID ENGINE 6.1" ?
[07:21] <keito> ssarangi: ouch
[07:22] <ssarangi> keito: So it gave me the error msg that KDE has crashed or something like that

[07:22] <vehicl1> i just installed 7zip but cant figure out how to use it
[07:22] <faileas> elzbal: i seem to remember someone saying cediga's svn was open to whoiever could find it, and you could do it from there
[07:22] <vehicl1> i have a file i want to extract with it, how would i do that?
[07:22] <keito> ssarangi: not gonna be much help then afraid!
[07:22] <faileas> vehicl1: try using the 7zip manager and working from there?
[07:22] <keito> vehicl1: commandline
[07:22] <tri> is there any ubuntu package to take a snapshot of the current installed packages and  allows one to return to it after trying out something new?
[07:23] <vehicl1> i cant find 7zip on my computer...
[07:23] <ssarangi> keito: no problem
[07:23] <pike_> elzbal: the less than honest also might forward you to a torrent. this would of course be morally wrong
[07:23] <riotkittie> faileas:  i'm supposed to leave this thing on the end of february but other than that, i know nothing about contracts or cost. i got the router for free, my isp and fon have an agreement
[07:23] <ssarangi> How can i read the error log. could anybody tell me which file contains the error log
[07:23] <faileas> riotkittie: ahh
[07:23] <keito> right guys i'm off, cheers for the help
[07:23] <rafaelscj> how can I shedule a shutdown?
[07:23] <shal3r> Is it possible to compile kernel module on ubuntu livecd? I am trying to compile wireless card driver but got error about missing "linux/config.h". I have build-essential and linux-headers installed.
[07:24] <riotkittie> i think i'm just going to pull the cord and go wired so i can actually use linux for a few hours a day. not like anybody connects anyway :x
[07:24] <vehicl1> how can i open 7zip if i cant find it o my computer??
[07:24] <keito> /exit
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> vehicl1 i think the 7zip linux packages are command line.. ark may be able to handle them.
[07:25] <riotkittie> no wait. that is such a defeatist attitude. i will make this adapter work.  <flexes her girly muscles and whatnot>
[07:25] <ssarangi> rafaelscj: shutdown -10.00 will shutdown the system in 10 mins... just do shutdown --help for advanced options
[07:26] <rafaelscj> ssarangi, thanks
[07:26] <faileas> riotkittie: let me know if you do ;p
[07:26] <Danet> Does the ubuntu 7.04 live cd use 2.6.22?
[07:26] <genii> no
[07:26] <Danet> genii: 2.6.21?
[07:26] <ch40s> whats the command i should run when installing ubuntu on an old laptop
[07:26] <preaction> Danet, uname -a will tell you what kernel is running
[07:26] <`Matir> riotkittie, what kind of adapter?
[07:26] <genii> 2.6.20
[07:26] <ch40s> --noapic?
[07:26] <Danet> preaction: I know, I've yet to download it though.
[07:26] <elzbal> Danet: Not sure about the CD, but 7.04 installed uses 2.6.20
[07:26] <Danet> genii: okay, thanks :)

[07:27] <riotkittie> `Matir: D-Link DWL-G122
[07:27] <usser> Knight_On_White \\comp1 should do
[07:27] <rafaelscj> I mounted a ISO file, is it slower than a real drive?
[07:27] <`Matir> riotkittie, any idea what chipset it is?  minipci/pcmcia?
[07:27] <Knight_On_White> like this : // or like this \\ ?
[07:27] <Danet> rafaelscj: should be faster, assuming your hard drives aren't unbelievably old
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> rafaelscj should be a LOT faster.
[07:28] <riotkittie> `Matir > ralink 2570

[07:28] <riotkittie> usb.
[07:28] <rafaelscj> thanks Danet, Dr_Willis
[07:28] <faileas> ewwwralink
[07:28] <Pici> Poul^Laptop: You need to run wireshark as root for it to work properly.
[07:28] <Knight_On_White> usser : to use thos //comp1 ? or \\comp1 ?
[07:28] <`Matir> riotkittie, and the rt2500 driver doesn't work?
[07:28] <riotkittie> faileas: ralink is that bad? :o
[07:29] <ssarangi> my display manager crashed. Help !!!!
[07:29] <Poul^Laptop> pici, will try
[07:29] <faileas> riotkittie: i just had shitty luck with mine

[07:29] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:29] <Poul^Laptop> thx Pici , worked

[07:30] <faileas> for the s word?
[07:30] <elzbal> faileas: Yes.
[07:30] <rafaelscj> Poul^Laptop, In some cases, you need to disable network-manager
[07:30] <riotkittie> `Matir: the adapter shows under lsusb, ifconfig and iwconfig look fine, i can see networks, i just cant connect. also, the adapter has a lovely tendency to totally lock my computer up.
[07:30] <vehicl1> what is "cd.." in linux?

[07:31] <vehicl1> how do i go up a directory
[07:31] <Pici> vehicl1: cd ..
[07:31] <riotkittie> vehicl1 > cd ..
[07:31] <vehicl1> hah
[07:31] <vehicl1> thanks
[07:31] <Poul^Laptop> oki, rafaelscj   but got it working as root sudo wireshark
[07:31] <Pici> Moox: It should see it as a usb storage device.  I dont know how well the media players will work with detecting it though.
[07:32] <shal3r> Is it possible to compile kernel module on ubuntu livecd? I am trying to compile wireless card driver but got error about missing "linux/config.h". I have build-essential and linux-headers installed.
[07:32] <rafaelscj> Poul^Laptop, I mean after opening wireshark/kismet
[07:32] <Moox> pici it is detected and transfers the music but the xml file in the ipod is still missing
[07:32] <Knight_On_White> when i want to enter other computer in my network i type in the browser "smb://comp1" if i type the same command in the terminal i get "no such file or directo.." ??
[07:32] <Poul^Laptop> oki rafaelscj will remember that if getting problem later
[07:32] <Pici> Moox: What program?
[07:33] <Moox> pici : amarok, banshee, gtkpod ..
[07:33] <elzbal> Knight_On_White: That's KDE being nice to you, provding access to a smb share that way. You dont get the same option with a command line
[07:33] <riotkittie> arrrgh. i should have gone for the linksys. :|
[07:34] <elzbal> Knight_On_White: If you want to access the share from the command line, you'll need to mount it.
[07:34] <rafaelscj> Poul^Laptop, here, kismet stops to gather packages
[07:34] <Knight_On_White> after i will make the mount what is the command i should type in the terminal ?
[07:34] <Pici> Moox: I guess a bug should be logged then.

[08:04] <Ninesvnsicks> is there a way to run a program and if it crashes have it reopen?
[08:04] <Ninesvnsicks> I have a server i run from wine
[08:04] <Ninesvnsicks> id like it to reopen if it scrashes
[08:04] <Pici> !enter
[08:04] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:05] <HolySheepy> hm, hi, i have a problem with firefox + ubuntu :D i installed ubuntu, now in windows my network setting are Static IP: 192.168.0.15, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Standardgateway: 192.168.0.2, DNS-Server: 192.168.0.2 <- it works with that, i tried to set it on Network setting on Ubuntu, but firefox still wont work...
[08:05] <KiranAghor> pici i got it. i will try it. thnx. whts a bot?
[08:05] <HolySheepy> (it doesnt load any website)
[08:06] <Ninesvnsicks> I'm running a server from thru wine and I would like it to reopen if it crashes is there a way to do that?
[08:06] <Pici> KiranAghor: All ubotu does is respond to commands that start with !.  So I can do !multijava | KiranAghor and it will tell you about it.
[08:06] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, well you could make yourself a script that does: while /bin/true; do wine server.exe; done so it just launches forever if it exits :)
[08:06] <hetauma> HolySheepy: hmm do u need to set up proxy? or u have set up a proxy on firefox by mistake?
[08:06] <HolySheepy> in ff preferences it has "direct connection to internet" o.o
[08:06] <Ninesvnsicks> i have a start script to start it
[08:06] <KiranAghor> Pici wow thats great. i did not knew tht.
[08:06] <Ninesvnsicks> not sure what u mean
[08:06] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, great. so put my `whiel` loop in there
[08:06] <joebob777as7> can anyone tell me how to mount a squashfs 1.x image or what distro i need to be able to?
[08:07] <Ninesvnsicks> will it keep opening new ones?
[08:07] <hetauma> HolySheepy: how about your windows browser?
[08:07] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, not unless you put a & after the wine launch cmd
[08:07] <HolySheepy> hetauma: huh?
[08:07] <Ninesvnsicks> oh ok where should I put that line?
[08:07] <kramn> nope, (gnome)panel can't be grabbed, every time I delete a panel applet, something else fills its space, so there is still no space to grab it -- Besides I shouldn't have to deconstruct my panel every time I mistakenly drag it from the BOTTOM to one of the sides. Should I??
[08:07] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, well since you've already got a script launching it, try replacing the part that launches wine with that
[08:07] <KevinOman> administrator did you figure it out?
[08:07] <hetauma> HolySheepy: sorry u are in windows now ?
[08:08] <yrlnry> Where's a good place to get additional "emblem" icons?
[08:08] <Stwange> I'm having trouble emptying the wastebasket, it keeps saying I don't have permissions to modify a parent folder. Short of logging in as root, what can I do?
[08:08] <rml> how do I get wmv videos to run?
[08:08] <HolySheepy> hetauma: yeah...
[08:08] <Ninesvnsicks> so jsut replace wine server.exe with while /bin/true; do wine server.exe; ?

[08:33] <gnudo> i have an Alcatel One Touch 801E mobile phone which is not compatible with gammu/wammu .the mobile has neither bluetooth nor infrared. how can i access its phone directory on gnu/linux? is there any gui app for that??
[08:33] <dfletcher> maybe ubuntu has some kind of task manager thing. hmm yeah that may work Ninesvnsicks
[08:33] <DevideZero> Dr_Willis , geforce 5200 fx , i have installed build essential and the ctrl+alt+f1 , kdm stop , sh the 100.14.11 driver and the i told him to config my xorg.conf
[08:33] <Ninesvnsicks> theres system monitor
[08:33] <dfletcher> can you kill processes from there? try it
[08:34] <Ninesvnsicks> i can
[08:34] <Ninesvnsicks> and did
[08:34] <Ninesvnsicks> id like to make this for the public
[08:34] <IdleOne> can someone tell me how do I pin xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu2 so that it does not upgrade to xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu3?
[08:34] <needhelp> how do you 'sudo apt-get install app' from CD instead of from Internet ?
[08:35] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: would there be a way to open it in the terminal with a msg saying server started and if u close the terminal it kills the script?
[08:35] <IdleOne> needhelp: add the cd to the /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:35] <bluefox83> needhelp, add the cd to your sources
[08:35] <needhelp> ok, thanks
[08:35] <Pici> Ninesvnsicks: I'd ask in #bash, I think they'd help you write a script to do it.
[08:35] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, you haven't been launching it in a terminal already? so how? double click?
[08:35] <Ninesvnsicks> oh
[08:36] <Ninesvnsicks> yeah i clicked and opened
[08:36] <usser> fen1x_ ia32-libs
[08:36] <Ninesvnsicks> same thing right?
[08:36] <dfletcher> but Ninesvnsicks yeah that should work... just cd to the directory holding the script and then ./userver\(copy\) or ./userver if you name it back
[08:36] <fen1x_> usser thank you, do you know anything about cedega
[08:36] <usser> fen1x_ oh and linux32 too
[08:36] <Ninesvnsicks> oh and then if i close the terminal it kills it?
[08:37] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, should do. or even ctrl-c
[08:37] <patty> cedaga, bleh
[08:37] <Ninesvnsicks> hmm let me try running it from terminal
[08:37] <usser> fen1x_ nope nothing about cedega sorry
[08:37] <DevideZero> i have installed nvidia on kubuntu ( generic-16 ) and when i boot i get black screen someone know how i can fixit ?
[08:37] <patty> use wine... doesn't matter whether you're beholden to windows or cedaga it's still a bitch
[08:37] <fen1x_> usser np
[08:37] <Pici> !ohmy | patty
[08:37] <IdleOne> !ohmy | patty
[08:37] <ubotu> patty: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:38] <fen1x_> patty wine is cedega I thought?
[08:38] <patty> no
[08:38] <usser> fen1x_ nope
[08:38] <Ninesvnsicks> hmm
[08:38] <shal3r> Is it possible to compile kernel module on ubuntu livecd? I am trying to compile wireless card driver but got error about missing "linux/config.h". I have build-essential and linux-headers installed.
[08:38] <usser> fen1x_ cedega is not free
[08:38] <IdleOne> fen1x_: cedega is wine and for help with cedega join #cedega
[08:38] <fen1x_> usser Wine still get updates?
[08:38] <patty> cedega is a proprietary version of it... from before wine was Lgpl
[08:38] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: never noticed this before it says: fixme:process:getprocessworkingsize (bunch of numbers): stub
[08:39] <patty> so it'll have a little more support for the newest stuff because they probably lease stuff from msoft
[08:39] <patty> but long term wine must be the answer
[08:39] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, sounds like a wine warning. I just ignore them :)
[08:39] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: fixme:winsock:ntstatustowsaerror status code c0000024 converted to dos error code 6
[08:39] <fen1x_> kk i'll get wine then
[08:39] <Ninesvnsicks> oh
[08:39] <kane77> how can I use my cell phone as gprs modem (via bluetooth)? is there any program that would compress the data sent and received from internet? (maybe something that runs as a proxy on a server)
[08:40] <IdleOne> !wine | fen1x_
[08:40] <ubotu> fen1x_: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[08:40] <dfletcher> wine seems to have verbal diarrhea :P
[08:40] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: i don't liek warnings lol
[08:41] <usser> Ninesvnsicks wine will always show them no matter what win pgm u run
[08:41] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, I believe they do that so they can easily see what parts of windows they still need to build ;)
[08:41] <Ninesvnsicks> oh
[08:41] <Ninesvnsicks> well yeah if i run it from terminal
[08:41] <Ninesvnsicks> all i have to do is close terminal :)
[08:41] <Ninesvnsicks> now the userver for windows has a prgram called namedate.exe
[08:41] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, nice... if you make a taskbar item, check the "run in terminal" button
[08:42] <dfletcher> and you'll get the same thing, but with a button :)
[08:42] <DevideZero> someone ?
[08:42] <shal3r> is there kernel source on ubuntu 7 livecd?
[08:42] <IdleOne> shal3r: it should be there
[08:42] <Ninesvnsicks> nice
[08:42] <shal3r> what`s name for it?
[08:42] <Ninesvnsicks> i wonder if this is possible
[08:42] <patty> is the live cd specific to the processor architecture?
[08:43] <patty> i always used alternate...
[08:43] <fen1x_> where do I get Wine?
[08:43] <Ninesvnsicks> the userver for windows has a program called namedate.exe which if the server crashes it adds a name and date to the specified files (server logs) and copies them to a folder
[08:43] <bigproblem> !getdeb
[08:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about getdeb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[08:43] <Ninesvnsicks> do u think that woudl be possible in this script?
[08:44] <shal3r> IdleOne, what`s name for linux-sources on livecd?
[08:44] <JamesG> If I wanted to watch real media video files, what's the best way to go about doing that in Ubuntu?
[08:44] <patty> fenlx_ it's in the repositories as community i believe
[08:44] <patty> or go to wine hq and compile the latest source... but it's only like 0.03 newer
[08:45] <spiderworm2> hey all, i just installed feisty and now have the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel... i have an amd athlon 64 3500+ processor and am wondering if there is a more optimized kernel?

[08:45] <JamesG> Thanks chief
[08:45] <usser> fen1x_ if u have amd64 this is the repository u have to add http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt feisty main
[08:45] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: do you know how I would tell the script to do something if the server crashes?
[08:45] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, so you just want to launch that program after the server exits? just add another statement between "do" and "done", separated by a semi colon... so like:    ... do; wine userver.exe; wine namedate.exe; done  ... now it does 2 things in the loop
[08:45] <mtx1> is there a way to copy all programs to a new installation by copying certain directories? or do i need to manually reinstall them? i am going with a new system but same chipset and architecture
[08:45] <PKdoR> how do I start beryl?
[08:46] <Ninesvnsicks> hmm
[08:46] <mtx1> open terminal and type beryl
[08:46] <usser> PKdoR beryl is obsolete use compiz fusion instead
[08:46] <Ninesvnsicks> so that would run whatever after it exits and then reopen server?
[08:46] <fen1x_> how do I add that?
[08:46] <fen1x_> i'm a nub do linux usser
[08:46] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, yeah
[08:46] <Ninesvnsicks> wow
[08:46] <beni> How can I see which RAM I'm using in Ubuntu Linux?
[08:46] <paulcooperorama> how do I get rid of the $home.dmrc  message?
[08:46] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, you're too easily impressed ;P
[08:47] <Ninesvnsicks> yeah i know
[08:47] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, it's pretty basic bash scripting

[08:49] <fen1x_> Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[08:49] <danielronin> Pici: fair enough. I just figured there would be enough ppl here with multiple-boot configurations to know where and what i need to mv/cp/whatever would be
[08:49] <spiderworm2>  just installed feisty and now have the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel... i have an amd athlon 64 3500+ processor and am wondering if there is a more optimized kernel?
[08:50] <chief> fen1x_: do you have Synaptic open?
[08:50] <fen1x_> yea xD
[08:50] <danielronin> and how GRUB works over a vistal install
[08:50] <usser> fen1x_ also look at the faq for amd64 http://wiki.winehq.org/UbuntuAMD64

[08:52] <speerfissure> What would I need to run to get X running on this server then?
[08:52] <speerfissure> Its just a play machine for me to learn Linux.
[08:52] <ikonia> speerfissure you need xorg - minimum, then you need a desktop, and you may need 3rd part drivers dependingo n your video card
[08:52] <fen1x_> Reading package lists... Done
[08:52] <fen1x_> Building dependency tree
[08:52] <fen1x_> Reading state information... Done
[08:52] <fen1x_> Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[08:52] <fen1x_> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[08:52] <fen1x_> is only available from another source
[08:52] <fen1x_> E: Package wine has no installation candidate
[08:52] <speerfissure> Got it, thanks.

[08:59] <nathan_> anyone know how to fix vlc crackling?
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> how is the UUID for a drive calculated anyway?  This site implies if you resize a hard drive. its UUID changes?
[08:59] <Masterslave> does anyone know how to install Oracle developer suite? when I run the runIntaller it says that I have to use redhat or suse
[09:00] <ikonia> Dr_Willis I disagree on that
[09:00] <fen1x_> can someone tell me the wine wiki one more time
[09:00] <DevideZero> how i can fix the display after installing nvidia driver ?
[09:00] <basiljohn> I have a HP webcam, i am able to use it in aMSN and eKiga on feisty, is there a suitable app to capture images/videos from a webcam ??
[09:00] <ikonia> Dr_Willis uuid's are a per device (partition) uuid
[09:00] <urilockz> I need help... I have and have installed my radeon x600 graphics card under restricted drivers manager, although when I play ANY game is lags like crazy and i have to restart X. Any help?
[09:00] <ikonia> not sure how it will effect a change unless thats a "new" device
[09:00] <beni> lshw is showing memory banks from bank:0 to bank:3, and :1 and :3 are used. May I assume that my Motherboard has 4 RAM slots and 2 of them are spare?
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> ikonia yes.. and i know how to get/set them.. but just wondering How are they initially calculated..  DO they change when the partition size changes?
[09:00] <speerfissure> Its like the Wild West in here. :)
[09:01] <troughton> having a little problem trying to install ndiswrapper on a laptop and when i do it tells me it depends on libc6 >=2.5-5ubuntu but wont install it is running 2.5-0ubuntu and cant upgrade can anyone help ??
[09:01] <ikonia> Dr_Willis I wouldn't have thought so, however deleting and recreating - yes probably
[09:01] <ikonia> Dr_Willis no fact behind that, just an opinion
[09:01] <Dr_Willis> ikonia reading at   http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/UUID_-what_is_it_and_why_is_it_a_problem   - and I noticed that info. They Imply that they DO...
[09:01] <kramn> Is there a way to lock the gnome-panel so that it stays in the orientation you put it in?
[09:01] <Dr_Willis> ikonia  which is why im researching it more. :)
[09:01] <ikonia> Dr_Willis I only trust respected sources
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> ikonia  right. cant seem to find ANY sources that say how its calculated.
[09:02] <primski> troughton....dependency problems couse of versions can be messy, perhaps install gutsy? does it have libc6>=2.5 ?
[09:02] <Masterslave> does anyone know how to install Oracle developer suite? when I run the runIntaller it says that I have to use redhat or suse
[09:02] <ikonia> Dr_Willis I may do a resize, see what happens
[09:02] <ikonia> Masterslave thats what its packaged for
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> ikonia thats what i dont get.. i DID a resize and it dident affect anything.. but the HD partition dident really move.. just grew. at the end.
[09:02] <beni> kramn: if you shut down your box like you should it should stay, too :o)
[09:02] <beni> lshw is showing memory banks from bank:0 to bank:3, and :1 and :3 are used. May I assume that my Motherboard has 4 RAM slots and 2 of them are spare?
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> ikonia so im thinking that info is not correct on the site.
[09:02] <shal3r> which kernel version is on ubuntu 6.06 ?
[09:03] <ikonia> Dr_Willis thats what I'd effect
[09:03] <Masterslave> ikonia, so i cannot run it on ubuntu
[09:03] <ikonia> Dr_Willis I'd expect
[09:03] <primski> Dr_Willis, does it mount ok, after resize? Do you have an UUID in fstab?
[09:03] <troughton> gutsy is still under develpment and not stable  enugh to run on a laptop for some one  who is not that confident as my friend is primski
[09:03] <clever> !games
[09:03] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> primski  pretty sure its using uuid. its on my laptop/ it worked fine. :)
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> primski not got it running/handy to check however.
[09:04] <nathan_> is there any way to move a file with root privelages without using a terminal or having to open a new nautilus?
[09:04] <primski> troughton, understood, but my experience tells me isntalling newer versions than supported in repo's isnt that safe. first, you must upgrade manualy tons of dependecys and then hope nothing is broke ;) up to you to decide
[09:04] <nathan_> like paste as root?
[09:04] <patty> nathan_ if you have kde you can
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> nathan_ want to do it with your tounge taped to the ceiling also? :)
[09:05] <troughton> ok thanks
[09:05] <patty> konquerer can do that sort of thing i believe
[09:05] <soulrider_> the multiverse and universe repos are enabled by default right ?
[09:05] <nathan_> Dr_Willis: maybe someone could write it like how in windows you can do it in like 3 clicks
[09:05] <riaal> Where do I change the default skin of vlc? =S
[09:05] <patty> you can run it on gnome though... haven't used it any.
[09:06] <kramn> beni: its not a shutdown issue. I mistakenly dragged the panel from the BOTTOM orientation  to the RIGHT hand side and there is no room on the panel now from which to "grab" it and move it back.
[09:06] <sm1g> Ok. What is 'Microsoft Internet Information Services'? Where can i check if i have it(them) installed and how can i configure it right so that VMware server works? If i dont have it installed - where can i download it?
[09:06] <ikonia> sm1g its a windows product
[09:06] <jah> hi
[09:06] <nathan_> sm1g: it's like apache but windows version
[09:06] <sm1g> well... VMware server requiers it
[09:06] <nathan_> sm1g: it's usually on server editions of windows
[09:06] <beni> kramn: hm lol.. why not remove some icons in order to get rome to move?
[09:06] <jah> how can I find out which things a certain .deb has installed?
[09:06] <nathan_> sm1g: you can also use it on xp and vista
[09:06] <sm1g> ok... where can i get it?
[09:06] <sm1g> i have XP
[09:06] <Pici> !windows | sm1g
[09:07] <nathan_> sm1g: in #windows
[09:07] <jah> anyone here using IPRINT ??
[09:07] <Ninesvnsicks> ok if i cd to the directory in a script first will it stay in the directory for all following commands?
[09:07] <ubotu> sm1g: For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[09:07] <kramn> beni: looking for an "elegant" solution that doesn't require me to deconstruct then reconstruct the panel. If there is one... ;-)

[09:08] <sm1g> ikonia - i am calm
[09:08] <speerfissure> she said clam down
[09:08] <speerfissure> theres a difference
[09:08] <beni> sm1g: damn, this is LINUX.. not Windows. Go call your Customer Support
[09:08] <DigitalNinja> I'm having sound trouble with Skype. If I don't use it for a while the sound stops working.
[09:08] <DigitalNinja> Any ideas
[09:09] <DigitalNinja> ??
[09:09] <tortho> Anyone running windows under gutsy/feisty, and if so, what are you using qemu?
[09:09] <beni> tortho: virtualbox is working like a charm
[09:09] <sm1g> beni - im asking about where can i get it so i can install IIS and try dual booting Linux on Windows on VMware
[09:09] <primski> DigitalNinja, yes, Skype is crap and full of spyware....perhaps use smth else ? :P
[09:09] <beni> tortho: using it with 512 MB and Compiz.. WinXP + Apps work fine
[09:09] <ikonia> sm1g your best bet is #windows
[09:09] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: do i need a ; at the end of every command line?
[09:10] <DigitalNinja> primski: Sure! And what would you have me use?
[09:10] <beni> sm1g: what is the host system? Linux or Windows?
[09:10] <Turbo1> Where is virtualbox located after you have downloaded and installed it?
[09:10] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, nope, just when you put multiple statements on one line
[09:10] <Pici> sm1g: We are not windows support, please ask in ##windows
[09:10] <nathan_> sm1g: you are asking about an optional windows component. talk to windows people
[09:10] <sm1g> beni - Win
[09:10] <tortho> beni: Sounds great, will try it. Compiz is not working here in gutsy for some reason, and qemu is not working either... did work good in feisty..
[09:10] <patty> format c: solves all problems
[09:10] <beni> Applications -> System -> Innotek Virtualbox , its kinda easy to setup
[09:10] <sm1g> you guys dont like windows do you?
[09:10] <nathan_> sm1g: I like it
[09:11] <primski> DigitalNinja, lol, sorry mate, actually that was a little not funny joke, i dunno, i don't use it, have no need for it, sory for ur time :)
[09:11] <beni> tortho: hm.. The last time i had problems with 3D stuff I was using SuSe ;)
[09:11] <ikonia> sm1g its not appropriate for this channel
[09:11] <Pici> sm1g: Our liking it has no bearing on whether we support it here nor not.
[09:11] <nathan_> windows lets me play warcraft 3 =] 
[09:11] <chief> !offtopic
[09:11] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:11] <speerfissure> i think they dont like ppl who cant read when thirty ppl in channel say "go to ##windows"
[09:11] <beni> sm1g: then don't ask in this channel, go into some windows forum or stuff
[09:11] <shal3r> which kernel version is on ubuntu 6.06 ?
[09:11] <patty> warcraft 3 is one of the few things that works well on wine
[09:11] <speerfissure> and certain ppl dont listen
[09:11] <patty> if only everyone used opengl
[09:11] <DigitalNinja> primski: That's okay. If there was an open source application that worked I would switch.
[09:11] <primski> nathan_, call blizzard and ask them to port it to linux, ur favorite os ;)
[09:11] <nathan_> patty: it works like crap
[09:11] <beni> shal3r: 2.6.20-16-generic

[09:12] <joebob777as7> joebob777as7: hey
[09:12] <nathan_> primski: If I want to waste my time I'll scratch my butt
[09:12] <ikonia> beni .20 on 6.06 ? are you sure
[09:12] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: oh ok i have each thing on a seperate line so i shoudl be ok
[09:12] <ks> how do I know if cron works in ubuntu ?
[09:12] <shal3r> ikonia, i dont have ubuntu 6 ;)
[09:12] <tobias_> i have a laptop w/ubuntu feisty installed.  sometimes it takes me 20 minutes to switch my internet connection, e.g, from wired to wireless or between wireless networks.  the system is very unpredictable and there's no clear path to setting up a new connection.  what am i missing?  i thought all this was supposed to be automatic?
[09:12] <beni> ikonia: ups sorry, i'm 7.04
[09:12] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: how would I print text to the terminal window?
[09:12] <ikonia> ks setup a cron job
[09:12] <chief> !cron | ks
[09:12] <ubotu> ks: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[09:12] <ikonia> shal3r think its 2.6.15
[09:12] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, echo "something to print"
[09:12] <primski> nathan_,  same thing with wining about how stuff works in win here ;)
[09:12] <nathan_> tobias_: click the network icon then click on the connection
[09:12] <shal3r> oktanouc, thanks
[09:12] <Ninesvnsicks> hah same as dos
[09:12] <beni> tobias_: the switching between networks is the problem?
[09:12] <shal3r> ikonia, thank you
[09:12] <Ninesvnsicks> with quotes too?
[09:12] <nathan_> primski: you are the one who brought it up douchebag
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> Dos? *Ack*
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> :)
[09:13] <DevideZero> how i can fix the display after installing nvidia driver ?
[09:13] <yrlnry> Is there some kind of plugin that I can get that will add an "encrypt this file" item to the nautilus popup menu?
[09:13] <nathan_> primski: I was saying why I like windows
[09:13] <Pici> nathan_: That language is uncalled for.
[09:13] <tobias_> beni: yes, once i have a network setup it mostly works fine
[09:13] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, also, I can tell you how to get those wine commands to be quiet if you want ;)
[09:13] <fen1x_> Hey guys, can someone tell me how to run configure?
[09:13] <tobias_> nathan_: and then?
[09:13] <Ninesvnsicks> oh yeah
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> yrlnry at one time there was a menu/script dir - where you could creat/add your own such commands with simple scripts.
[09:13] <primski> nathan_, actually u and ur warcraft3 brought it up, and no need for name calling ;) i got plenty in that store too ;)
[09:13] <ScorpKing> i have a vnc server running on xp but the firewall only have port 22 open on the router to a linux server on the internal network, is there a way i can connect to it?
[09:13] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: yes please
[09:13] <beni> tobias_: hm.. Often a plain restart of the network interfaces works very nice
[09:13] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, onesec
[09:13] <Ninesvnsicks> k
[09:13] <ks> ubotu let me rephrase it, how I know that script has been executed by cron ? where do errors go ?
[09:13] <ikonia> fen1x_ type ./configure when you're in thecurrent directory, OR you can read the docs I point you at that will walk you through it
[09:13] <beni> tobias_: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[09:13] <nathan_> primski: please press pgup and see the first mention of wine (hint: it's you)
[09:14] <tobias_> beni: the only caveat is that it never associates automatically to the last used connection when i start up.  i have to associate to a dummy network, and then switch back to the real one
[09:14] <basiljohn> any suitable app for capturing a webcam on feisty ?
[09:14] <fen1x_> ikonia I'm at the docs
[09:14] <ikonia> ks syslog and the seperated cron.log
[09:14] <yrlnry> Dr_Willis: Does that mean that you know there is no longer a menu/script dir, or that you know there was once and you are not sure if it is still there?
[09:14] <ikonia> fen1x_ great, so it walks you through it
[09:14] <fen1x_> i think <,<
[09:14] <ks> oops
[09:14] <ikonia> fen1x_ how can you not know,
[09:14] <nathan_> tobias_: that's it, it will say disconnected then it will spin and find the new one
[09:14] <BeerSerc> Hi there. I have installed kubuntu on my fathers pc this week, to save his soul from eternal torturing, caused by excessive use of mandriva linux. It's a some years old early P4 1.8 with absolutely standard hardware, a 40G hd, partitioned to 2*10G for win, ~10G for /, ~10G for /home and some swap. win is on fat32, ubuntu on ext3. It is running quite well, but it boots extremely slow. After about 1/3 of the loading bar, it switches to verbose mode, and tell
[09:14] <ikonia> fen1x_ your either reading the url I sent you - or your not
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> yrlnry it was one of those not very well documented features. I dont use gnome any more.. so i am guessing its still there.. just not well documented. :)
[09:14] <fen1x_> lol i'm at the wine.wiki lol
[09:14] <yrlnry> Dr_Willis: THanks a lot.
[09:14] <fen1x_> is that the link you gave me?
[09:14] <primski> i havent said anything about WINE in here in ages ;)
[09:14] <ikonia> fen1x_ then join #winehq for support
[09:14] <beni> BeerSerc: tells what? :)
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> yrlnry i made a script that ran my DOS games in dosbox with it.. ages ago. :0
[09:14] <paulcooperorama> how do I get rid of the "$home/.dmrc is being ignored blah blah blah" message
[09:15] <fen1x_> kk
[09:15] <ks> ikonia thanks
[09:15] <ikonia> fen1x_ no, thats wine docs, thats supported in #winehq
[09:15] <tobias_> nathan_: i have everything set to roaming, is that correct?
[09:15] <paulcooperorama> how do I get rid of the "$home/.dmrc is being ignored blah blah blah" message
[09:15] <pike_> BeerSerc: well? what does it say? :)
[09:15] <BeerSerc> beni: "Checking filesystem". something about fat32 and ext3
[09:15] <fen1x_> ooo, mind sending the link again?

[09:17] <ikonia> paulcooperorama delete the file it complains about, its a legacy x11 file
[09:17] <patty> hahaha
[09:18] <paulcooperorama> and just call me paul
[09:18] <tobias_> nathan_: i click the network manager applet in the menu bar and i see no wireless or wired connections.  so i click manual configuration.  i open network manager, and all the connections are there, set to roaming.  there's nothing for me to do!
[09:18] <Secher> is there a command for restarting X?
[09:18] <ikonia> paulcooperorama I'll call oyou paulcooperorama so its easy to follow who I'm talking to
[09:18] <beni> BeerSerc: try this, it would probably help http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/88818-disabling-fsck-startup.html#post446627
[09:18] <chief> Secher: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[09:18] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: so for echo does it need the quotes also?
[09:18] <ikonia> chief that won't restart X
[09:18] <ikonia> Secher crtl+alt+delete
[09:18] <ikonia> Secher crtl+alt+vbackspace
[09:18] <nooga> my dvd drive doesn't seem to mount some VCD discs, while other computers read them, i use feisty on athlon 64, what may be the problem?
[09:18] <beni> BeerSerc: but always make sure to shutdown your system properly. Only pressing the power button like in XP might not work in ubuntu, but i think you know that
[09:19] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: jsut wanna double check
[09:19] <paulcooperorama> iknonia -- where is the file??
[09:19] <ikonia> paulcooperorama it gives it in the error message
[09:19] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, it's good practice but not really necessary. your words become arguments to echo, but if you quote it you only send 1 arg. also, sometimes wierd chars can cause trouble. best quote it
[09:19] <tobias_> nathan_: at other times, i see both a wired connection and a list of available wireless networks in the network manager panel applet menu.  then i can /usually/ switch between those fine -- the only caveat being that the machine will not associate with the first selected network when it initially boots up; i have to select a bogus network and then switch back to the real one to get it to associate
[09:19] <Secher> nono - im trying to install but i get a message that it cant start x..
[09:19] <Secher> but i get a shell
[09:19] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: oh ok
[09:19] <Secher> or terminal
[09:19] <patty> secher: what's your card?
[09:19] <beni> nooga: its a codex problem and stuff.. for me it took an hour to install all the dvd stuff you're missing some (restricted) libaries
[09:19] <paulcooperorama> ikonia -- I looked in the "home" directory
[09:19] <beni> !dvd | nooga
[09:19] <ubotu> nooga: 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
[09:19] <tobias_> nathan_: i have noticed no pattern as to when the menu is populated and when it isn't.  i want it populated all the time.  how do i do that?
[09:19] <spiderworm2> Pici: what about the 64 bit part of it?  does the generic kernel take advantage of the 64 bit architecture?
[09:20] <nathan_> tobias_: that's beyond me sorry
[09:20] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: well I copied the windows script and substituded linux commands basically
[09:20] <Secher> its an intel onboard - on a xps m1330 laptop
[09:20] <ikonia> paulcooperorama what is the exact error message
[09:20] <ikonia> spiderworm2 nopt if you install the 32bit os
[09:20] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: so hopefully it should work
[09:20] <kazol_> Is it normal that the cmd "su" fails?
[09:20] <bernd> hello
[09:20] <nathan_> beni: you said you are running xp in untu?
[09:20] <ikonia> Secher using the same laptop - no problem
[09:20] <fl33tingtime> where do i ask to suggest a new ubuntu-related project?
[09:20] <beni> kazol_: in the latest ubuntu, yes - superuser has no password any more
[09:20] <nooga> and another question: how to enable that cool cube in compiz? :)
[09:20] <tobias_> nathan_: if no one else experiences this much trouble with a laptop running ubuntu i expect it's some driver issue that's causing problems with the network manager gui
[09:20] <patty> secher: huh that should work, i thought all intel drivers were open source for the most part
[09:20] <beni> kazol_: use sudo su in order to get root
[09:20] <Aishiko> quicky question I need to unmount a couple of volumes what is the command to do that?
[09:20] <spiderworm2> ikonia: hmmm you imply that there is a different install for the 64 bit then? dammit
[09:20] <kazol_> beni: thx
[09:20] <ikonia> spiderworm2 there is
[09:21] <nathan_> spiderworm2: yeah the one that says 64 bit
[09:21] <patty> just the daemons on the wifi cards aren't which is why they don't come enabled on most distros
[09:21] <beni> nathan_: yep :) with a very basic hardware, iirc 2,6 ghz 512 mb
[09:21] <madinina> hi
[09:21] <bernd> Dj prog fr ubuntu
[09:21] <Secher> i would hope so, but it crashes on install with the error "Failed to start the x server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set
[09:21] <Secher> up correctly. Would you like to review the X server output to diagnose the problem?
[09:21] <paulcooperorama> "$home/.dmrc is being ignored this prevents the default session and language from being saved the file should be owned by user and have 644 permissions home directory must  be owned by and not writable by others
[09:21] <bernd> ?????
[09:21] <nathan_> beni: can you tell me how to do that? what was the app called again?
[09:21] <spiderworm2> hmmm... is it possible to easily switch from the 32 bit to 64 bit os?
[09:21] <nathan_> spiderworm2: as easy as a full reinstall
[09:21] <ikonia> spiderworm2 no
[09:21] <gnudo> i have an Alcatel One Touch 801E mobile phone which is not compatible with gammu/wammu .the mobile has neither bluetooth nor infrared. how can i access its phone directory on gnu/linux? is there any gui app for that??
[09:21] <spiderworm2> aww shit
[09:22] <paulcooperorama> iknoia -- did you get all of that
[09:22] <paulcooperorama> does it make sense??
[09:22] <nathan_> spiderworm2: then you find some bugs and things that don't work on 64 I tried it already
[09:22] <ikonia> gnudo how do you expect to connect it to your machine ?
[09:22] <kudeta> heya, i have a server setup with 1 external ip, yet i have 2 extra avaiale. i need to know how to setup ubuntu to use the other 2 ip's/ in this case i want an extra ip to etup TOR
[09:22] <echo_> I need help.  I am using the ov51x-jpeg driver for my creative livecam vista im and it works on other ubuntu systems, but on mine it shows three of me on camorama, and kopete will detect the camera but give me a green screen.
[09:22] <beni> nathan_: hold on sec
[09:22] <ikonia> kudeta ifocnfig $device:1
[09:22] <nathan_> spiderworm2: just stick with 32 bit unless you got about 8gb of ram
 i have a usb cable
[09:22] <ikonia> kudeta ifconfig the device eith :1 as a virtual address
[09:22] <gnudo> if that helps
[09:23] <kudeta> ikona
[09:23] <patty> i thought the limit for 32 bit was like three and a half
[09:23] <kudeta> ikonia can i pm?
[09:23] <ikonia> kudeta no thanks
[09:23] <ikonia> .away
[09:23] <nathan_> patty: it is but if you got 4gb then dont bother with 64 bit
[09:23] <spiderworm2> nathan_: i have 2gb :) why 8gb for a 64bit os?
[09:23] <fl33tingtime> !ubotu
[09:23] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[09:23] <beni> nathan_: http://www.virtualbox.org/ there is everything you need. Read the documentation and If you experience problems with accessing your USB  drives in the howto section there's a tutorial
[09:23] <madinina> p
[09:24] <nathan_> spiderworm2: I was just using a number... 32bit is good for up to 3.5~ gb of ram
[09:24] <beni> nathan_: but believe me it is deadeasy to install + run :o) I was really shocked
[09:24] <Turbo1> Ok im trying to install virtualbox and do i have to create a new boot hard disk because i do not have one nor do i really know where it is?
[09:24] <nathan_> beni: you have to have xp installed on a partition already / can you do it that way?
[09:24] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: whats unterminated quoted string mean?
[09:25] <paulcooperorama> ikonia??
[09:25] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, that probably means you forgot an ending quote or tried to put quote chars in your quoted string :P
[09:25] <beni> nathan_: Turbo1: I ran virtualbox in ubuntu and installed a plain new Windows XP "inside" Virtualbox in a Virtual Container. But i think there is a tutorial  on migrating existing XP partitions into it.
[09:25] <nathan_> spiderworm2: would you like me to tell you why I picked 32 bit even though I have 4gb of ram?
[09:25] <beni> nathan_: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows
[09:25] <ToolBust> I can't turn my wireless card to mode monitor....can any onde help me?
[09:25] <spiderworm2> nathan_: yes i think i could learn a lot from that
[09:25] <Ninesvnsicks> I PUT %DATE%
[09:25] <echo_> I need help.  I am using the ov51x-jpeg driver for my creative livecam vista im and it works on other ubuntu systems, but on mine it shows three of me on camorama, and kopete will detect the camera but give me a green screen.
[09:25] <Ninesvnsicks> oops
[09:26] <ToolBust> I can't turn my wireless card to mode monitor....can any one help me?
[09:26] <beni> nathan_: but i didn't try that, i installed windows from scratch
[09:26] <Secher> nathan_ > did you have any problem installing ubuntu on your m1330 ? and do you have the intel card og the nvidia?
[09:26] <nathan_> beni: thanks I'm looking it up =] 
[09:26] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: hwo do i echo the date and time
[09:26] <paulcooperorama> ikonia??
[09:26] <nathan_> Secher: must be another nathan
[09:26] <beni> nathan_: good luck :o)
[09:26] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: if you know
[09:26] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, just `date` by itself will do that
[09:26] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher:  oh ok kewl
[09:26] <paulcooperorama> how do I get rid of the "$home/.dmrc is being ignored blah blah blah" message
[09:26] <nathan_> spiderworm2: 3 main differences between 32 and 64 that you should care about as a basic understanding
[09:27] <DevideZero> how i can fix the display after installing nvidia driver ?
[09:27] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: hmm i got the same thing weird
[09:27] <paulcooperorama> how do I get rid of the "$home/.dmrc is being ignored blah blah blah" message
[09:27] <Secher> sorry nathan_
[09:27] <danielronin> can anyone tell me what it means when GRUB hangs at stage1.5, and ust keeps rebooting????
[09:28] <Secher> meant to write to ikonia
[09:28] <nathan_> spiderworm2: 1 - 32 bit only reads up to ~3.5 gb of ram, 64 goes much much higher. 2 - 32 bit will have much more working software and is easier to find solutions for... way easier. 3 - 64 will be faster since it will make better use of your cpu and if you had more than 3.5 gb of ram.
[09:28] <Secher> ikonia > did you have any problem installing ubuntu on your m1330 ? and do you have the intel card og the nvidia?
[09:28] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: just echo "words" ?
[09:28] <ltar> switching desktops causes either my top or bottom gnome bar to dissapear.
[09:28] <beni> danielronin: probably that your GRUB is f*cked up? ;-) (sorry
[09:28] <Ninesvnsicks> Oh
[09:28] <paulcooperorama> how do I get rid of the "$home/.dmrc is being ignored blah blah blah" message
[09:28] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, should be. that's weird
[09:28] <pbn> Hello, what graphical tool for the layman, on a KDE desktop, will show the user how much space is left on the hard drive ?
[09:28] <Ninesvnsicks> i bet its the arguments i have for namedate
[09:28] <ltar> only on the first workspace do I have both, and I have to click at the bottom to get the bottom one
[09:28] <spiderworm2> nathan_: thanks, that's good information :)
[09:28] <beni> pbn: wait i'll grab it
[09:28] <_etotheip> nathan_, 64-bit is not intrinsically quicker than 32-bit.
[09:28] <nathan_> spiderworm2: however when you weigh the fact that finding any support on 64 bit is probably twice as hard, plus you wouldn't be gaining any ram so.. just stay with 32 bit trust me
[09:28] <patty> nathan_ what about the amd stuff?  they go on about how they can run 64 and 32 bit applications simultaneously

[09:29] <nathan_> patty: it's not a matter of inability, it's a matter of the platform release as I understand it
[09:29] <Ninesvnsicks> oh i found it
[09:29] <beni> danielronin: windows often destroys your grub, thats the bad thing.. Try google this is a very common problem imho
[09:29] <beni> !grub > beni
[09:29] <_etotheip> 64-bit offers a marginal improvement except for apps designed natively for 64-bit. most are recompilations of 32-bit code.
[09:29] <ltar> hmm... I alt-f2'd "metacity --replace" on a hunch and it fixed it. I guess GTK was borking
[09:29] <danielronin> i'm new to dual/tri boot setups with vista, does GRUB act like more like an MBR extension with vista?
[09:30] <beni> danielronin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows

[09:30] <beni> echo_: sorry cant help u with this one :)
[09:30] <nathan_> spiderworm2: right, 64 bit software CAN be faster if it is specifically written for 64bit and not just a repackaged 32 bit
[09:30] <danielronin> ah, but i had everything up and working, i actually installed feisty and backtrack2 over vista
[09:30] <Secher> anyone running ubuntu on a DELL XPS m1330 laptop???

[09:32] <AngryElf> hey folks, I'm getting login incorrect errors to my server despite explicitly allowing this user I was trying to track down how proftpd authenticates but I don't see that info in the default config file.  So my question is, how does proftpd know where to look for credentials?
[09:32] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: for echo
[09:32] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, awesome :)
[09:32] <patty> danielronin: okay, then it's probably best to go check out what else there is, i don't know anything more than that because it's always worked for me.  just keep externals and stuff clear as that makes it much more complicated.

[09:37] <nenoyou> hola
[09:37] <ToolBust> Amaranth: I have that...but how can I use it to turn to mode monitor?
[09:37] <Amaranth> ToolBust: I don't know
[09:37] <Amaranth> ToolBust: Stop doing that.
[09:37] <nathan_> beni: it's asking me
[09:37] <paulcooperorama> beni -- oh I wish it were... but the message is $home/.dmrc is being ignored this prevents the default session and language from being saved
[09:37] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, that's what I was saying :P so use a format string to make it say what you want
[09:37] <beni> nathan_: w8
[09:38] <nathan_> beni: http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/3267/screenshotbf6.png
[09:38] <nenoyou> hola
[09:38] <Amaranth> ToolBust: What you are doing is probably illegal so you should find help elsewhere.
[09:38] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, or if you're happy with the default then good enough ;)
[09:38] <echo_> I need help.  I am using the ov51x-jpeg driver for my creative livecam vista im and it works on other ubuntu systems, but on mine it shows three of me on camorama, and kopete will detect the camera but give me a green screen.

[09:38] <beni> nathan_: press yes
[09:38] <nathan_> beni: http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/3555/screenshot1xq8.png
[09:38] <beni> nathan_: updates = good ;)
[09:38] <paulcooperorama> beni -- it goes on to say that the permissions should be 644 and the directory must be oned by user and not writable by others
[09:39] <beni> yes okay good
[09:39] <beni> paulcooperorama: we'll fix this now, hold on :)
[09:39] <ToolBust> Amaranth: you know it is elligal because you do it all the time....
[09:39] <paulcooperorama> beni -- thanks very much
[09:39] <beni> paulcooperorama: type "chmod 755 .dmrc" into your console
[09:40] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: how do i rem lines in the script
[09:40] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: for description?
[09:40] <dfletcher> Ninesvnsicks, you mean comments? start the line with # sym
[09:40] <beni> nathan_: working?
[09:40] <Ninesvnsicks> yea
[09:40] <Ninesvnsicks> ok
[09:40] <paulcooperorama> beni -- done that
[09:40] <nathan_> beni: yeah app is up, gotta figure out pointing to hd1,0 now
[09:41] <beni> paulcooperorama: try Logging of and on again to see if it worked :)
[09:41] <nathan_> beni: I have xp on hd1,0 and figure might as well use that
[09:42] <paulcooperorama> beni -- thanks I'll let you know
[09:42] <beni> paulcooperorama: np :)

[09:43] <DigitalNinja> Is there a way to get evolution to auto filter email?
[09:43] <bascule> hi, if I want to stream media on my LAN from desktop to laptop in various media formats what is th ebest way to do it, is there pre written software or do i need to set up my own menuing things?
[09:43] <beni> nathan_: which theme're you using?
[09:43] <DigitalNinja> I have filters but it's not doing to automagicly
[09:43] <nathan_> beni: thanks again will do
[09:43] <gnutron> bascule - you might try VLC.
[09:44] <bascule> gnutron: it can do this, I never knew, the name kinda gives it away though :)
[09:44] <nathan_> beni: a nice comfy mixture
[09:45] <yakov> guys could you suggest me a time app which shows several timezones?
[09:45] <bascule> gnutron: it was more on the server side though, like listing all tunes/films on web browser style format and it streams on click .. that'd be cool
[09:45] <yakov> GNOMish..
[09:45] <nathan_> beni: http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/272/screenshot2wt0.png
[09:46] <gnutron> bascule - that might require apache web server or other means, not a small task!
[09:46] <nathan_> beni: i got a couple users set up for different moods lol
[09:46] <Secher> anyone running ubuntu on a DELL XPS m1330 laptop???
[09:46] <bascule> gnutron: I can handle it ..  but if there was some pre-written cool app that eeds apache, I can do it, if not i think I can maybe get started on something
[09:47] <beni> nathan_: looks good :) damn, you got lunchtime right now? we're at 10pm
[09:47] <BernardB> ^
[09:47] <gnutron> bascule - use synaptic or apt and take note of suggested packages, like mysql etc., it's is  'doable'.
[09:48] <bascule> sure, but how hard :))
[09:48] <nathan_> beni: yeah I'm on pacific gmt-8
[09:48] <danielronin> shi*t, i just tried restoring GRUB through shell, and it's still not working
[09:48] <willo> "try rebooting"
[09:48] <willo> ;D
[09:49] <kudeta> hello, ive added to interfaces anip that my server has been allocated. but its not working (no ping etc) is there something i might have forgotten?
[09:49] <beni> nathan_: where located? I'm German :)
[09:49] <danielronin> does anyone here know whether NTLDR would keep from running, is GRUB is just installed to the root partition of the ubuntu?
[09:49] <nooga> ubotu: ok, i followed that chroot tutorial, so now i just need to use chroot command and then install skype as normal?
[09:49] <gnutron> bascule - not very hard, time consuming.
[09:49] <nathan_> beni: well those steps look complicated and it's just a fake little install anyways just for wc3; so I'll just do a new virtual one =] 
[09:49] <nathan_> beni: I'm in seattle washington
[09:49] <nooga> lol, ubotu is a bot lol
[09:49] <Evanlec> danielronin, !grub
[09:49] <nathan_> beni: I have a friend in germany she called me last night at 2am my time
[09:49] <Evanlec> !grub
[09:49] <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

[09:50] <beni> nathan_: kewl, my shouts to georgie boy ;) Are you leaving iraq now or what's the state of the art?
[09:50] <nooga> so now i just need to do sth like this: chroot /chroot
[09:50] <nooga> and then use dpkg to install eg. skype
[09:50] <nooga> yup?
[09:50] <danielronin> I didn't install anything....this morning i woke up, and all the sudden, nothing would boot
[09:51] <nathan_> beni: nah we're in there for life just like the war on drugs.
[09:51] <kudeta> hello, ive added to interfaces anip that my server has been allocated. but its not working (no ping etc) is there something i might have forgotten?
[09:51] <orchid`> hey err i still ahve an issue with falsh. i am on the 64 bit feisty fawwn distro. anyone ahve an idea that will help?
[09:51] <bascule> gnutron: www.fireflymediaserver.org <-- i might be on to something here :)
[09:51] <nathan_> beni: they just like to pretend there's any possible change, so people feel better
[09:51] <slashzul> how do you rescan your desktop to view new installed items on your menu?
[09:51] <gnutron> danielronin - what error do you get?
[09:51] <danielronin> 'm trying to find out more about GRUB so i can fix it...the only thing the restore DVD asus gave me is totally wipe everything
[09:51] <nathan_> beni: many people over here know the truth but we're powerless to change anything
[09:51] <iceghost> nooga: mostly right
[09:52] <danielronin> GRUb just keeps reloading, and my laptop keeps rebooting
[09:52] <iceghost> you'll have to deal with using your current x server or it wont run
[09:52] <nooga> iceghost: mostly
[09:52] <nooga> ?
[09:52] <slashzul> how do you rescan your desktop to view new installed items on your menu?
[09:52] <l_r> who are the powers of ubuntu here?
[09:52] <nooga> iceghost: what do you eman?
[09:52] <Dr_Willis> danielronin the grub homepage has some very good docs on grub and troubleshooting.
[09:52] <kudeta> !ubotu interfaces
[09:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about interfaces - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:52] <iceghost> i did that long ago so the details aren't fresh on my mind but...
[09:53] <gnutron> danielronin - looks like a good app., beware of breaking packages, but i would give it a shot.
[09:53] <kudeta> !ubotu ifconfig
[09:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ifconfig - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:53] <nooga> iceghost: but...?
[09:53] <Jack_Sparrow> danielronin: boot a livecd and post your boot/grub/menu.lst to the pastebin
[09:54] <beni> nathan_: that sucks, but its the same thing here :) Our government plans to build a Trojan for the state officioals and the Feds in order to spy at computers of Terror suspects. They are destroing our whole social system everything is getting more expensive and there is no end.
[09:54] <Jack_Sparrow> danielronin: You can also try the super grub repair disk
[09:54] <iceghost> have you set up everything so you can use /var, /proc and /dev of your original environment in your chroot jail
[09:54] <iceghost> have you done that?
[09:54] <nooga> erm
[09:54] <slashzul> how do you rescan your desktop to view new installed items on your menu?
[09:54] <nooga> no
[09:54] <maedhros> Quick question: Where is a good place to put software binaries that I`ve compiled? Is there like a user-bin that all such software scould go? Or is it common just to create a random directory and include it in the binary search path?
[09:55] <nooga> do i need to edit bootstrap?
[09:55] <nooga> fstab i mean
[09:55] <nathan_> beni: says I need access to /dev/vboxdrv
[09:55] <Jack_Sparrow> slashzul: you dont, they should be there if installed correctly.. What app in particular.
[09:55] <nathan_> beni: chmod 777 it ?
[09:55] <iceghost> i am guessing that you have successsfully used debootstrap. right?
[09:55] <nooga> iceghost: i've got 32-bit feisty in /chroot
[09:55] <oandrew> what time is it??
[09:55] <beni> nathan_: or just chown that should be enough imho. "sudo chown nathan /dev/vboxdrv"
[09:56] <beni> !time > oandrew
[09:56] <Apa7HY> I really need to get my sound card working
[09:56] <bascule> maedhros: use something like manual_apps and pass that to --install, all sub-dirs wil be made by make install
[09:56] <nooga> i was following this tutorial https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot
[09:56] <gnutron> maedhros - /usr/local/newdir4stuff  is a good place imo.
[09:56] <oandrew> lol beni
[09:56] <Juhaz> /usr/local should mirror the layout in /usr
[09:56] <danielronin> Jack_Sparrow: in a livecd atm, one second for the paste
[09:57] <erik__> hi there, getting quite used to ubuntu here, just got a quick question. Got it installed. The only folders I see though, is "Desktop" and "Examples". Where am i supposed to find all the rest of the stuff, like the stuff on my windows drive, and the rest?
[09:57] <nathan_> beni: hhaha this is pimp!
[09:57] <ambrose_> hello peeps
[09:57] <beni> nathan_: wh00t? :] 
[09:57] <iceghost> ok you have to edit fstab to bind your var, proc, dev and (if you want) home filesystems
[09:57] <Apa7HY> erik__: go up a directory
[09:57] <maedhros> bascule; gnutron: Okay, thanks.
[09:57] <tarelerulz> Is there a way to format in fat32 ? I think gparted does that ,but I am not sure?
[09:57] <erik__> I only see "erik" then
[09:57] <Apa7HY> go up another
[09:57] <Dr_Willis> gparted is a front end to the backend mkfs commands that does the actual formating - I belve
[09:57] <nathan_> beni: can vista work on it?
[09:57] <Jack_Sparrow> danielronin:  also run this as we may need this info...  sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt
[09:58] <nooga> iceghost: will i be able to use my system normally?
[09:58] <nooga> i eman
[09:58] <beni> nathan_: vista is made by the devil, never tried this one ;) After XP I started using Linux, I'm even running steam on ubuntu via wine (never made problems for me that weird ;)
[09:58] <jeward> /usr/lib/perl/5.8/CORE/perl.h:420:24: error: sys/types.h: No such file or directory
[09:58] <nooga> mean, i need to edit /etc/fstab, not /chroot/etc/fstab
[09:58] <nooga> ?
[09:58] <jeward> What package am I missing?
[09:59] <nathan_> beni: what's steam
[09:59] <beni> nooga: what do you wanna use?
[09:59] <Apa7HY> sys/types.h, jeward
[09:59] <nooga> beni: skype
[09:59] <iceghost> yes, the "original" /etc/fstab
[09:59] <nathan_> beni: you want to see a kick ass video
[09:59] <beni> nathan_: VALVe's distribution platform for halflife, counter-strike and a couple more
[09:59] <beni> nathan_: give it to me
[09:59] <paulcooperorama> beni
[09:59] <nathan_> in #ben
[10:00] <beni> paulcooperorama: did it work?
[10:00] <Apa7HY> I could really use some help getting my sound card to work.  Ubuntu doens't detect it and I'm pretty sure the driver isn't on the list of drivers.  Soooo what do I do?
[10:00] <kaos_nk> Is it possible to install finch without pidgin?
[10:00] <paulcooperorama> not that
[10:00] <nooga> iceghost: something like /home   /chroot/home    none    bind 0 0
[10:00] <nooga> ?
[10:00] <iceghost> yeah, i was about to paste that same line ;)
[10:00] <beni> Apa7HY: sry can't help you with this one :/
[10:01] <orchid`> nis there anyone in ehre who hs an inkling of howto help me with my flash issue?
[10:01] <paulcooperorama> beni -- but what I did was entered chmod 644 .dmrc then chmod 700 ~
[10:01] <tarelerulz> I want to format 500 gig hard drive in fat32 so windows can use it if I need to and I was wondering if gparted did so I could download it . I know it srinks ntfs I did that before
[10:01] <yrlnry> It turns out that the  local and web documentation is wrong.  Both say that executable files in $HOME/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts will appear in the scripts directory.  But this is not true; they must be in a *subdirectory* of that directory.
[10:01] <yrlnry> I had to go to the source code to find that out.
[10:01] <paulcooperorama> beni -- that seemed to have solved it
[10:01] <yrlnry> How do I submit a doc patch?
[10:01] <iceghost> i am no expert but i do now that you share some "sockets" or stuff that way that allows you to connect to your original x server
[10:01] <paulcooperorama> thanks for the help
[10:01] <beni> paulcooperorama: so it works now?
[10:01] <veynom> has anyone here installed diablo 2 on ubuntu?
[10:01] <paulcooperorama> beni -- oh yea baby
[10:01] <Turbo1> I keep getting this error when i try to access my drive using virtualbox. Can someone assist me please.
[10:01] <iceghost> hence being able to use graphical apps like skype or 32bit firefox
[10:01] <paulcooperorama> you da man
[10:01] <beni> paulcooperorama: kewl, i'm proud :) cheers !
[10:02] <nooga> iceghost: and it shouldn't interrupt my normal system ?
[10:02] <paulcooperorama> of course you could be "da girl" but in being that you could still be da man
[10:02] <paulcooperorama> now for a more difficult one
[10:02] <Turbo1> Failed to start virtual drive
[10:02] <giany911> is there any way to get xchat to start minimized ? it's at startup and i dont want it to pop-up in the middle of the screen:)
[10:02] <paulcooperorama> I need to share files to a windows network
[10:03] <iceghost> not at all, that worked fine for me. dont forget to `mount -a`

[10:03] <jesson> when i installed programs from add/remove program where do they go? i cant find them in application start menu
[10:03] <jesson>  when i installed programs from add/remove program where do they go? i cant find them in application start menu
[10:03] <Juhaz> yrlnry, what source file did you (think) you found that in? they definitely should work from the scripts dir itself.
[10:03] <Ninesvnsicks> dfletcher: ok this might sound lame but I want to be able to release this to others how should I zip the files?
[10:03] <iceghost> ah i read somewhere that if you plan to ditch your chroot environment you should first "unbind" your filesystems or you risk losing them
[10:03] <danielronin> Jack_Sparrow:  here's menu.lst: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37145/
[10:03] <Jack_Sparrow> jesson: Depends on the program, some kde or X apps will not show up in the menus
[10:03] <paulcooperorama> I have installed both samba & nfs on this machine but it does not want to let in another person
[10:04] <sander> Hi. Where do I find an ubuntu live cd?
[10:04] <yrlnry> Juhaz: It doesn't work from the scripts dir itself; the scripts menu didn't  even appear.   B ut when I created a subdirectory and put the scripts in the subdirectory, the scripts menu appeared with the subdirectory on it.
[10:04] <jesson> im using gnome and i installed idle python where can i find it?
[10:04] <jesson> if they arent in the menu how can i run them?

[10:05] <yrlnry> Oh, I see.  Creating the subdirectory sent some sort of notification to nauthilus to reread the scripts dir, which creating a plain file didn't.
[10:05] <nooga> iceghost: mount -a in chroot?
[10:05] <yrlnry> Weird.
[10:05] <Turbo1> How do i fix this error

[10:11] <iceghost> have you run apt-get inside the chroot yet?
[10:11] <beni> sander: download the normal ubuntu, IT IS the live cd
[10:11] <sander> beni, thanks
[10:11] <CoasterMaster> sander: the live CD is the same as the normal download
[10:11] <beni> sander: ubuntu live cd starts up shows you what's going on
[10:12] <arci> hey anyone know how to fix those errors http://pastebin.com/m115111e8     ?
[10:12] <beni> sander: and if you wish, just press install and ubuntu will be installed. if you don't press it your system will remain the same as before :)
[10:12] <gnutron> arci- did you use sudo?
[10:12] <arci> sure
[10:13] <beni> g'night
[10:13] <nooga> iceghost: yup
[10:13] <nooga> iceghost: installed some thingys
[10:13] <nooga> via apt-get inside chroot
[10:13] <gnutron> arci- open synaptic and use 'fix broken'
[10:14] <benanzo> how do hold open "dmesg" so i can watch it in real time?
[10:14] <koluyoe> hello
[10:14] <iceghost> nooga: nice, then you can attempt to install the skype package and its dependencies
[10:14] <koluyoe> I type in terminal of ubuntu like that "I type like that sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop", it is saying that couldn't fine kubuntu-desktop
[10:14] <nooga> iceghost: eg in /home/nooga in chroot?
[10:14] <Jack_Sparrow> danielronin: The first option for Kubuntu is right up to that point...
[10:15] <koluyoe> I type like that "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop", it is saying that couldn't fine kubuntu-desktop
[10:15] <nooga> i mean
[10:15] <Jack_Sparrow> danielronin: the partition for the others are all wrong
[10:15] <nooga> i need to wget the deb to that dir
[10:15] <nooga> ??
[10:15] <gnutron> benanzo - dmesg |less  dmesg is written on boot-up.
[10:15] <koluyoe> but it is saying that couldn't find
[10:15] <koluyoe> pleae help me
[10:15] <praet> benanzo: tail /var/log/dmesg
[10:15] <iceghost> nooga: did you bind /home? do you have the same users inside the chroot?
[10:16] <nooga> yeah
[10:16] <IdleOne> !info kubuntu-desktop
[10:16] <iceghost> then I dont think it matters as long as you wget-it inside the chroot
[10:16] <ubotu> kubuntu-desktop: Kubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.32ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 15 kB, installed size 44 kB
[10:16] <nickrud> koluyoe: go to applications->add/remove, click the preferences button, and make sure the first four items (main, restricted, universe & multiverse) are checked. Then close, and click update
[10:16] <Slart> koluyoe: sure you spelled it right?
[10:17] <radioaktivstorm> why does the auto configuration on my wireless not work... i have been searching forums etc for weeks and still have not found a resotion.... if i set my computer to manual configuration, i can access networks, but if i put it on roaming, i tend to get infrequent success as far as connections. can anyone help me--this is getting very tedious and i would appreciate *any* help
[10:17] <benanzo> gnutron: but it will still write new messages about hardware while the system is running?  is there a way to just have dmesg open so I can watch the new messages as they come?
[10:17] <Slart> koluyoe: oh.. and listen to nickrud.. he speaks wise things =)
[10:17] <arci> gnutron: thanks worked ;)
[10:17] <IdleOne> nickrud: kubuntu-desktop is in main it should be available to him without universe and multiverse
[10:17] <danielronin> Jack_Sparrow: i removed an ntfs partition after I installed kubuntu to make room for another linux os
[10:17] <nickrud> IdleOne: prevents other questions later on :)
[10:17] <jesson> if ubuntu has a default java sdk installed ready how can i run its editor? it doesnt show up im my application menu
[10:17] <IdleOne> nickrud: true :)
[10:17] <danielronin> and configured menu.lst to accomodate
[10:18] <nooga> iceghost: im having problems with those dependencies
[10:18] <arci> nono
[10:18] <arci> gnutron: it doesnt work after that
[10:18] <gnutron> benanzo - tail -f /var/syslog  for system stuff. dmesg is just bootup stuff. iirc
[10:18] <bruenig> jesson, ubuntu does not have jdk installed by default and what is this editor?
[10:18] <benanzo> gnutrom: ok thanks
[10:18] <iceghost> nooga: they don't show up in apt-get?
[10:18] <Jack_Sparrow> danielronin: But you only configured the first option to the correct partition... else it is wrong and all others are right..
[10:18] <gnutron> benanzo - tail -f /var/log/syslog  sorry
[10:18] <benanzo> ok
[10:18] <theacolyte> Anyone know off the top of their head if Adobe is ever going to release a flash player for x64? or are we supposed to keep using nspluginwrapper?
[10:19] <sm1g> hey... it was irc.freenode.net or irc.freenode.com?
[10:19] <bruenig> theacolyte, probably not, there is no reason to
[10:19] <jesson> ok then i have to dl it anyway ubuntu has a ready python editor? how can i run it?
[10:19] <sm1g> helloooo
[10:19] <nooga> iceghost: it's like this Depends: libasound2 (> 1.0.12) but it is not going to be installed
[10:19] <leladia> how do i change to c-shell in ubuntu 7.04
[10:19] <sm1g> was it irc.freenode.net or irc.freenode.com?
[10:19] <Slart> theacolyte: last I heard they were working on it
[10:19] <willo> python editor? vim? ;D
[10:19] <nickrud> sm1g: net
[10:19] <sm1g> thanks
[10:19] <nooga> iceghost: maybe i shold copy sources.list from the top system to chroot
[10:20] <danielronin> Jack_Sparrow: I commented out all the other options
[10:20] <bruenig> leladia, assuming you have it installed, just csh
[10:20] <alcoholic> does tasksel takes time ?
[10:20] <IdleOne> nickrud: you know anything about pinning? I want to pin xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu2 so it does not upgrade? I know it has something to do with setting it in apt-cache policy but dont understand enought about it to figure out a command
[10:20] <Slart> theacolyte: but that could mean anything from "we have 4000 skilled engineers working day and night" to "well.. the cleaning lady said her son would take a look at it" =)
[10:20] <leladia> how do i install it?
[10:20] <Jack_Sparrow> danielronin: Sorry, but it looks ok to that point...
[10:21] <nickrud> IdleOne: the easy way is to put it on hold, there's a dpkg way that I can never remember, so I open aptitude, find the package I want, and hit the equals sign :)
[10:21] <Slart> theacolyte: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=6b3af6c9
[10:21] <koluyoe> nickrud: hello. the four things you said are checked already. but I can't. why?
[10:21] <nny> so I have xmail installed, but I don't think it is sending mail messages, how do I test it further?
[10:21] <gerro> how do I disable firefox's firewall?
[10:21] <iceghost> nooga: oh that might help, you need the right repos
[10:21] <IdleOne> nickrud: lemme look
[10:22] <theacolyte> Slart: thanks for the link
[10:22] <Slart> gerro: firefox firewall?? it has a firewall?
[10:22] <theacolyte> so somewhere between now and never :)
[10:22] <nickrud> koluyoe: make sure you spelled it right then.    sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[10:22] <gerro> Slart: do ip:21 in address bar
[10:22] <Slart> theacolyte: that's about it
[10:22] <gerro> Slart: its a recent bug introduced
[10:22] <iceghost> nooga: are both systems (the main and the chroot) the same ubuntu version?
[10:22] <nooga> yup
[10:22] <nooga> feisty
[10:22] <nooga> but chroot is 32 bit and main is 64
[10:23] <theacolyte> Slart: I work about 5 blocks from Adobe's flash headquarters... I should stop by and ask :P
[10:23] <danielronin> Jack_Sparrow: if the options are commented out would that affect anything?
[10:23] <iceghost> that makes things smoother. i kind of figured that the main was 64
[10:23] <Slart> gerro: ah.. that's not a firewall.. just some kind of silly restriction...
[10:23] <gerro> Slart: if it blocks ports its a firewall
[10:23] <nooga> iceghost: bcs skype doesn't want to work under 64
[10:23] <nickrud> koluyoe: if it fails again, put the complete error on a pastebin
[10:23] <Slart> gerro: but I've never seen it before.. btw.. do you want to use http on port 21 ? or do you want to use ftp?
[10:23] <gerro> Slart: ftp of course
[10:24] <erik__> When I enter my home folder, there is one option, entering the /Erik/ folder, then Desktop/Examples. I don't see anything else. I don't know how to work with this, could I recieve some help thanks? ;)
[10:24] <gerro> Slart: and http
[10:24] <koluyoe> nickrud: arrr........ it works with the command with you said. why didn't it work apt-get intall?
[10:24] <gerro> Slart: whatever I make it do?
[10:24] <erik__> Using Linux Ubuntu with KDE, not gnome.
[10:24] <Slart> gerro: well... I'm not sure I agree.. but I would say that a firewall does a little more than just block ports but anyways.. try ftp://ip:21 instead
[10:24] <nickrud> koluyoe: probably a spelling error. apt-get & aptitude use the same info for installing
[10:24] <gerro> Slart: I been violated :(
[10:24] <Cleric> hi I've accidentally removed the top panel and bottom panel (where windows are minimised?), how can i replace them please?
[10:25] <bruenig> Cleric, right click, add panel and so forth
[10:25] <slashzul> ls
[10:25] <nickrud> Cleric: gconf-tool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
[10:25] <nooga> iceghost: werid, cuz when i try to install something via apt-get it just says NO
[10:25] <gerro> Slart: thanks dude (^_^) 'O
[10:25] <Slart> gerro: you're welcome
[10:25] <nooga> # apt-get install wget
[10:25] <nooga>   wget: Depends: libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8c-1) but it is not going to be installed
[10:25] <nooga> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[10:25] <nooga> :/
[10:25] <schwagner> what getty-like program should I use to connect a dumb terminal to feisty over a serial link?
[10:26] <gerro> Slart: I was thinking of switching to opera just to do this huge download, but omg they don't have an address bar ;_;
[10:26] <dj_mehanik>  
[10:26] <dj_mehanik> hi all
[10:26] <nickrud> nooga: do what it says,    sudo apt-get -f install
[10:26] <dj_mehanik> i'am from Russia, Yaroslavl city
[10:26] <IdleOne> nickrud: how do I search for specific package in aptitude?
[10:26] <Slart> gerro: opera doesn't have an adress bar?? what is the world coming to
[10:26] <koluyoe> nickrud: no. I didn't make miss spelling. I typed "sudo apt-get install ....

[10:26] <lordfkiller> hi everyone
[10:26] <lordfkiller> I used sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , chose my graphic card manufacturer(ATI), and put a start before all resolutions but 1280*800. I am using this resolution in Windows XP. But after pressing CRTL+ALT+BkSp, I can no more see anything but a blue and white page.
[10:26] <nickrud> koluyoe: it might have needed the update.
[10:26] <Cleric> nickrud: which sections of that code do i input in the terminal?
[10:26] <dj_mehanik> sorry
[10:26] <lordfkiller> *put a star
[10:27] <nickrud> IdleOne:   help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[10:27] <nickrud> Cleric: the whole thing
[10:27] <Slart> dj_mehanik: no need to be sorry.. you're welcome here but I don't think many here speak russian..
[10:27] <dj_mehanik> #ubuntu-ru no body
[10:27] <IdleOne> nickrud: ty
[10:27] <nooga> iceghost: werit, it runs :D

[10:27] <nooga> werid*
[10:28] <Cleric> nickrud: when i run "gconf-tool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel" in terminal it says could not open location
[10:28] <bascule> wierd?
[10:28] <lordfkiller> I used sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , chose my graphic card manufacturer(ATI), and put a star before all resolutions but 1280*800. I am using this resolution in Windows XP. But after pressing CRTL+ALT+BkSp, I can no more see anything but a blue and white page.
[10:29] <riotkittie> hmm. blue and white telling you theres a problem with xorg?
[10:29] <nickrud> Cleric: sorry,      gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel    (I always mix that up with gconf-editor)
[10:29] <koluyoe> nickrud: can I use "yum" command in ubuntu?
[10:29] <christoffernors> Hey. How can i change the shortcut "Alt+Left and Alt+Right" to another key? (im using gnome ubuntu). Thankyou.
[10:29] <Cleric> nickrud: beautiful code mate, thanks a lot. im never going to get the hang of this linux....
[10:29] <lordfkiller> no
[10:29] <lordfkiller> nothing
[10:30] <lordfkiller> i cannot do anything
[10:30] <schwagner> koluyoe, no, but apt-get is roughly the same thing
[10:30] <bascule> except much better
[10:30] <nickrud> koluyoe: no, it's for rpm's not deb's , run      gksudo synaptice
[10:30] <nooga> yeah
[10:30] <annihilus> can someone recommend a good firewall
[10:30] <nickrud> Cleric: yw
[10:30] <bruenig> annihilus, iptables
[10:30] <riotkittie> does it look like there's supposed to be text there?
[10:30] <lordfkiller> is there a way to reset screen resolution?
[10:30] <ConstyXIV> is there a way to find out if your processor has SSE3?
[10:30] <lordfkiller> yes
[10:30] <lordfkiller> i think
[10:30] <nickrud> koluyoe: erm,   gksudo synaptic   that is
[10:30] <Slart> annihilus: almost the only one available.. iptables
[10:30] <proqesi> are there any plans to support ppc on feisty or gutsy in the future?
[10:30] <riotkittie> if you need a front end, try firedog.  wait. is it firedog.  errr.
[10:31] <annihilus> bruenig, thanks
[10:31] <bascule> ConstyXIV: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep SE3
[10:31] <_Devious_> hello everyone
[10:31] <erik__> My friend said linux is just a dying bubble, less and less people use it and windows is preffered in the world, since 98% of the world uses windows, it has to be good, what to respond? ^
[10:31] <annihilus> Slart, thanks alot
[10:31] <Slart> !iptables
[10:31] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[10:31] <ootm> how can I see network throughput speed in ubuntu server (just in a bash shell )?
[10:31] <bascule> SSE3 even
[10:31] <kane77> annihilus, iptables, you can configure it with firestarter
[10:31] <nickrud> proqesi: it's a community supported one, it's available in feisty, probably gutsy
[10:31] <koluyoe> nickrud: you mean that yum=gksudo?
[10:31] <lordfkiller> i can type my username, and password, and here the sound for wrong password
[10:31] <lordfkiller> it just doesn't show anything
[10:31] <nickrud> koluyoe: no,  synaptic > yum ;)
[10:31] <kane77> ubotu, grr!
[10:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about grr! - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:31] <Slart> ootm: nload works..
[10:31] <bruenig> !ot | erik__
[10:31] <ubotu> erik__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:32] <nickrud> koluyoe: gksudo is a tool to get administrative privileges, it asks for your password and runs the program if the password passes
[10:32] <erik__> bruenig Okay, sorry :P
[10:32] <jesson> i downloaded anjuta and its  .tar.bz2 how do i untar and install it from the terminal?? reply please, note i have the tar file in my home folder already
[10:32] <koluyoe> nickrud: arrr.... it is better than yum, right?
[10:32] <ootm> Slart, thanks!
[10:32] <bascule> jesson: apt-get install anjuta
[10:32] <nickrud> jesson: why not just get anjuta from the repos
[10:32] <bauer> running gvim gives /bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found ? howto get rid of that ?
[10:32] <nickrud> koluyoe: actually, I've never even seen yum
[10:32] <kane77> jesson, tar xjvf nameoffile
[10:32] <Slart> erik__: windows is good enough for many...oh.. and you can always use cheap tricks like "millions of flies can't be wrong.. eat shit today" ;)
[10:33] <jesson> after i untar? how do i install ?
[10:33] <stdin> !ohmy | Slart
[10:33] <ubotu> Slart: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:33] <christoffernors> Hey. How can i change the shortcut "Alt+Left and Alt+Right" to another key? (im using gnome ubuntu). Thankyou.
[10:33] <kane77> jesson, why do you want to compile from source?
[10:33] <nickrud> jesson: no, throw away the tar.gz, and run bascule 's command
[10:33] <Evanlec> anyone know easy way to mount/burn/extract a .daa disc image??
[10:33] <jesson> im new to linux make it easier to understand please
[10:33] <christoffernors> anyone?
[10:34] <jesson> i extracter it already its on my home dir wat do i do now?
[10:34] <PriceChild> christoffernors, what do those do?
[10:34] <kane77> jesson, why don't you install it from repository?
[10:34] <christoffernors> go back and forth
[10:34] <nooga> iceghost: lol, it appears that skype is installed but not configured
[10:34] <nickrud> jesson: the best way to look for a package is system-admin-synaptic.  Anything you see on the net and want to install, look there before you do anything else.
[10:34] <proqesi> christoffernors: xmodmap
[10:34] <koluyoe> nickrud: please don't mind me for asking like that. Before, I use linux red hat fedoracore. In there, we can use "yum install" like "apt-get".
[10:34] <christoffernors> pricechild: go back and forth
[10:34] <nooga> iceghost: it runs but hangs immediately
[10:34] <oandrew> lol jesson
[10:34] <christoffernors> proqesi: xmodmap ??
[10:34] <dj_mehanik> by all, thank all
[10:35] <jesson> well i have it on my dir already if i go repo then ill have to dl it again
[10:35] <nickrud> koluyoe: true. Synaptic is a gui that installs packages. yum I guess would be the equiv to apt-get and aptitude
[10:35] <ice_ghost> nooga: did you succeed?
[10:35] <bauer> running gvim gives /bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found ? howto get rid of that ?
[10:35] <Slart> Evanlec: what is a .daa image? you can mount an iso by doing "sudo mount -o loop /path/to/your/iso.iso /your/mountpoint"
[10:35] <nooga> ice_ghost: it seems that skype and deps are set up
[10:35] <bascule> jesson: anjuts is a c/c++ dev app, you need to learn to compile quickly :))
[10:35] <CoasterMaster> How can I get the LiveCD to work with TV out (NVIDIA 7600GS)?
[10:35] <nooga> ice_ghost: but not configured by apt, so skype runs and hangs immediately
[10:35] <kane77> jesson, so make sure you have these installed: gdl, gnome-build, libopts, guile, autogen, pcre
[10:36] <CoasterMaster> It's hooked up via component (480i though)
[10:36] <nickrud> jesson: you'd have to compile anjuta to get it to work; to compile it you'd have to download a _lot_ more than just installing anjuta from the repos.
[10:36] <Evanlec> Slart, kk nevermind i foudn it, .daa is a disc image format used by PowerISO software, but they have a free linux version at http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm
[10:36] <kane77> jesson, (of course also build-essential and linux-headers)
[10:36] <koluyoe> nickrud: thank a lot. This is the first time of using Unbuntu for me. I don't about Ubuntu :P
[10:36] <Slart> Evanlec: ah.. I tried searching in synaptic for some kind of converter but I didn't find anything
[10:36] <jesson> inshort its easier to download it from repo?? i downloaded it on my xp and it worked its just a text editor
[10:36] <nickrud> !components | koluyoe let me point you at some reading:
[10:36] <ubotu> koluyoe let me point you at some reading:: 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
[10:36] <IdleOne> nickrud: hitting = added a h next to the i in front of package name. to save I just quit ?
[10:36] <jesson> wait i think it was devc
[10:37] <bascule> jesson: it's a lot more than a text editor
[10:37] <nickrud> IdleOne: yes
[10:37] <oandrew> kane77: is the build-essential and linux-headers on the install/liveCD??
[10:37] <kane77> jesson, nah.. anjuta is ide
[10:37] <bascule> gedit is a text editor
[10:37] <kane77> oandrew, I guess so..
[10:37] <Evanlec> wheres the default location to install stuff? /usr/bin ?
[10:37] <nickrud> jesson: yes, you got a precompiled version, just you'll get from the repos ;)
[10:37] <PriceChild> Evanlec, depends
[10:38] <Slart> Evanlec: nah... try /opt/programname instead
[10:38] <Evanlec> well, wheres a good place to put random stuff?
[10:38] <jesson> i looked at the screenshots and it looks just plain editor i didnt know there more on it?  im learning C++ so wats the best way for me to run my 1st program?
[10:38] <PriceChild> Evanlec, executables isntall in /usr/bin, libraries in /usr/lib etc. etc.
[10:38] <kane77> jesson, if you want text editor you don't want anjuta.. you want gedit (or kate)
[10:38] <PriceChild> Evanlec, /home/yournick
[10:38] <oandrew> nice1 >that has been the/my main problems with damnsmalllinux and others, when i first found linux and tried out the "liveLove"
[10:38] <bascule> jesson: apt-get install build-essential
[10:38] <PriceChild> Evanlec, or alternatively /usr/local/foo
[10:38] <Evanlec> but that clutters up my home folder...
[10:38] <Slart> Evanlec: usually you install the program somewhere and make a link in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin or any of those
[10:38] <rafael__> ikonia, i did !
[10:38] <IdleOne> nickrud: ty for your help
[10:38] <jesson> how do i get kate? or gedit
[10:38] <rafael__> ikonia,  i made that work as i want
[10:38] <ph8> does something as good as outlook exist for ubuntu?
[10:38] <PriceChild> Evanlec, or /opt
[10:38] <rafael__> ikonia, do u want know how ?
[10:38] <nickrud> IdleOne: I'm an aptitude addict ;)
[10:38] <Slart> ph8: fortunately not =)
[10:38] <kane77> Evanlec, /dev/random ;)
[10:39] <PriceChild> ph8, evolution
[10:39] <ph8> i'm contemplating running outlook in my VM
[10:39] <ph8> which  i maintain to use photoshop etc
[10:39] <Evanlec> lol k
[10:39] <oandrew> PriceChild: why not thunderbird?
[10:39] <stunatra> Evolution is almost like a Outlook clone.
[10:39] <Slart> ph8: you need the calendar bit or the email bit?
[10:39] <IdleOne> nickrud: aptitude runs in terminal. does it have a GUI?
[10:39] <ph8> email
[10:39] <ph8> i use google calendar
[10:39] <PriceChild> oandrew, because evolution is installed by default
[10:39] <Slart> ph8: then thunderbird of evolution will do the trick
[10:39] <stunatra> Thunderbird is great, too.
[10:39] <nickrud> IdleOne: just the one you saw, synaptic I guess you could say is the gui for aptitude,
[10:39] <nooga> ice_ghost: id does not work ;/
[10:39] <oandrew> okeydoke
[10:39] <kane77> IdleOne, synaptic
[10:39] <ph8> I have thunderbird
[10:39] <jesson> ok here a quick summary of my problem, i have a C++ book and studying it the only program i know is how to print hello world with #include iostream and on the book it sez i need a C++ compiler and editor to make it run so wat do u suggest? help me please
[10:39] <ph8> doesn't feel the same somehow
[10:39] <nooga> ice_ghost: skype hangs
[10:40] <ph8> maybe i'm too used to webmail tbh
[10:40] <ph8> i haven't used a client regularly for ages
[10:40] <PriceChild> jesson, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:40] <stunatra> Outlook is crappy, IMO.
[10:40] <Slart> jesson: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" will install what you need
[10:40] <kane77> jesson, okay, anjuta is ok for C++
[10:40] <IdleOne> nickrud: kane77 Synaptic use apt-get but yeah I guess that would be it
[10:40] <jesson> thats alL ?
[10:40] <koluyoe> nickrud: nbotu: thanks a lot bro
[10:40] <frenchie> hey guys, is there an ubnut help channel for novices?
[10:40] <bascule> jesson: and a simple text editor like gedit, yes
[10:40] <Slart> jesson: anjuta is nice if you want an IDE.. there are others too.. try some and see what you like
[10:40] <xfreakk> question: How do i find out my motherboard in linux and how do i get sound drivers for the onboard sound
[10:40] <gnutron> jesson - apt-get install build-essential, the 'cc inputfile.c' to compile
[10:41] <nickrud> IdleOne: no, it uses apt.  A lot of the code that it uses apt with came from aptitude.
[10:41] <jesson> wats on build essential ? do i have the editor there if i download that? does it show up in my applction start menu?
[10:41] <nooga> ice_ghost: thanks anyway gtg, bye
[10:41] <Slart> jesson: if you can manage to learn emacs or vi, those are considered nice
[10:41] <Andy80> hi
[10:41] <bascule> jesson: try Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in C++" it's free and linux based
[10:41] <bzwingzero> Is it possible to default the alignment of the desktop icons to the right similar to how it is on a Mac?
[10:41] <Slart> !info build-essential
[10:41] <ubotu> build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3 (feisty), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB
[10:41] <kane77> jesson, you need g++ package (the compiler)
[10:41] <Slart> bah.. that wasn't very informative... bad bot..
[10:41] <nickrud> koluyoe: yw, and welcome. It's different from fedora, but it's consistent within itself
[10:41] <jesson> omg sound to complcated i only want to run my hello world lol
[10:41] <bruenig> nickrud, apt is the general name giving to the overall package management scheme, dpkg apt-get and so forth, so you don't really use apt per se, you use aspects of apt
[10:42] <kane77> jesson, anjuta is fine, however plain text editor will do as well..
[10:42] <Slart> jesson: build-essential gets you compiler, linker and the basic stuff.. no editor, but there are plenty of those available
[10:42] <christoffernors> Hey. How can i change the shortcut "Alt+Left and Alt+Right" to another key? (im using gnome ubuntu). Thankyou.
[10:42] <nickrud> bruenig: apt is the library that everything ties into, right?
[10:42] <ph8> can i get cool plugins and such for thunderbirds a-la firefox?
[10:42] <kane77> jesson, you don't need compiler to RUN it, but to compile it...
[10:42] <xfreakk> question: How do i find out my motherboard in linux and how do i get sound drivers for the onboard sound

[10:42] <Slart> ph8: yes
[10:42] <christoffernors> ????????
[10:42] <bascule> jesson: well you are gonna need a c++ compiler and that is goint to require you to install software, if your gonna cade, need to get used to a least that much :)
[10:42] <bzwingzero> ph8: Yes, they are available from the thunderbird website.
[10:42] <kane77> ph8,  yes..
[10:42] <ph8> cool
[10:42] <ph8> i think that'll improve my experience
[10:42] <bascule> cade\code
[10:43] <TU> Okay is there a workaround for the dhclient doesn't set DNS servers?
[10:43] <TU> it is hugely pissing me off
[10:43] <kane77> jesson, you're not to do Hello world forever, are you?
[10:43] <jesson> python made it easy for me they have a built in python im my termimal
[10:43] <shemmy> My daughter wants the chalkboard world map wallpaper from Edubuntu 6.  Does anyone have or know where do get it?
[10:43] <ikonia> tu careful with the language, tihs is is a family channel
[10:43] <Slart> jesson: if you think "sudo apt-get install build-essential" is complicated you haven't installed any windows programming stuff =)
[10:43] <ubuntu> hello people
[10:43] <christoffernors> i didn't want to get extra mouse buttons
[10:43] <bascule> pytho is interpreted and preinstalled, c++ needs a compiler
[10:43] <samuele> exit
[10:43] <Teremd> hi anybody know if on gutsy alternate cd mdadm raid setup configuration was removed?
[10:43] <PriceChild> !gutsy | Teremd
[10:43] <ubotu> Teremd: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[10:43] <kane77> jesson, well the difference is that python is interpreted..
[10:44] <TU> well regardless
[10:44] <TU> any workarounds
[10:44] <xfreakk> question: How do i find out my motherboard in linux and how do i get sound drivers for the onboard sound
[10:44] <jesson> ahh wait
[10:44] <ph8> anyone used seamonkey?
[10:44] <TU> it is like a showstopping bug because i can't dhcp
[10:44] <Slart> TU: afaik it shoudl set dns servers.. I had to do stuff to make it not set dns servers...
[10:44] <bzwingzero> ph8: yes, back before it was seamonkey.
[10:44] <bascule> TU: try pump ?
[10:44] <ikonia> TU have you configured dhcp server, is that what you want
[10:44] <christoffernors> I have a IBM thinkpad and would like to use the dedicated buttons for "go forth and go back" instead of the default shortcut in ubuntu: alt+left and alt+right. How can i easily edit this?
[10:44] <jesson> i have devc in my xp and it made cpp into exe. wats the point of making it exe on linux if exe doesnt run on linux
[10:44] <TU> no i want dhclient to work like it should
[10:44] <Andy80> I'm trying to configure the "TwinView" on my laptop+videoprojector. The laptop has an nVidia video card. This is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ca/692582 and this is my problem: the screen zone has been doubled. First is displayed by videoprojector and the second part is shown on my notebook display. I'd like to see the same screen (800x600) on both surfaces (wall and display). How can I fix it?
[10:44] <TU> it should set my dns servers
[10:45] <TU> instead it sets them to 127.0.0.1 and search unh.edu (my school)
[10:45] <ikonia> TU ok - is your dhcp server offering dns servers ?
[10:45] <TU> resulting in rediculously slow lookups
[10:45] <TU> ikonia: it works fine under windows so i'd imagine so ;
[10:45] <bascule> christoffernors: system - preferences, keyboard shortcuts
[10:45] <xfreakk> question: How do i find out my motherboard in linux and how do i get sound drivers for the onboard sound
[10:45] <TU> p
[10:45] <martin_> hi guys, just got a new mp3 player (Commodoore "evic"), and to use the id3 functionality of the media library playlists for files need to be made in the Artist, Album, Track and Genre subdirectories... apparently windows media player does this automatically whilst syncronising... is there any media player on linux that will do this?
[10:45] <TU> it is a bug in the dhclient thing
[10:45] <ikonia> TU can you show me your dhcp config
[10:45] <kane77> jesson, it is exe(cutable) but under linux it doesn't have the .exe extension.. (and is in different format)
[10:45] <ikonia> TU its not a bug as I'm using it fine
[10:45] <Slart> jesson: you don't make an exe in linux.. but you can make an executable program..
[10:45] <bzwingzero> Is it possible to default the alignment of the desktop icons to the right similar to how it is on a Mac? Currently running ubuntu (Gnome)
[10:45] <IdleOne> nickrud: ok I put a hold on xserver-xorg-core but update manager still wants to upgrade it.
[10:46] <rafael__> ikonia, maybe u made a mistake.. the grub can boot from the uuid.. in this case i did the pendrive boot my linux on my usb hd  changing the menu.lst :D
[10:46] <rafael__> it works !
[10:46] <TU> ikonia: no it IS a bug.
[10:46] <ikonia> rafael__ I know this
[10:46] <TU> i think it involves a router being between you and the real dns servers
[10:46] <ikonia> rafael__ I didn't say you couldn't do this
[10:46] <TU> but my router has the right dns servers.
[10:46] <christoffernors> bascule: those shortcuts aren't in there
[10:46] <TU> google it
[10:46] <TU> it is definatly a bug
[10:46] <jesson> how do i make executable program on linux? like how to make cpp executable?
[10:46] <TU> which dhcp config you want?
[10:46] <Pici> jesson: you need to compile your c++ programs
[10:46] <preaction> jesson, you have to compile c/c++ programs
[10:47] <rafael__> ikonia, :) but the most strange.. i needed to copy the boot of pendrive to /   of my usb hd. hahaha it means the pendrive is not necessary.. excet because i will not need to install de the grub in the mbr
[10:47] <ikonia> TU your dhcpd.conf from the server and your dhclient from your machine
[10:47] <TU> uhm.
[10:47] <preaction> jesson, apt-get install build-essential <- installs the GCC and all you need to compile your programs unless they require other libraries like QT or GNOME
[10:47] <Slart> jesson: you compile it.. that's what devc++ does for you when you press f9 or whatever the key is.
[10:47] <TU> you think i have the dhcpd.conf from the server????
[10:47] <TU> it is my school
[10:47] <jesson> cant i just make the code on plain text editor save as with .cpp extension then go to terminal type hello.cpp ?
[10:47] <TU> i don't know and don't care what it is
[10:47] <jesson> would it run?
[10:47] <bascule> christoffernors: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79560
[10:47] <kane77> jesson, okay it works like this: you write program in any text editor, save it with .cpp extension. this is your source code. then you run gcc your_file.cpp -o your_file
[10:47] <Neatchee> Can anyone recommend a good torrent client for Ubuntu?  I've tried rtorrent but the performance is suspect
[10:47] <TU> my point is this SHOULD work with no interference so it IS a bug
[10:47] <preaction> jesson, no. you have you COMPILE c/c++ programs.
[10:47] <IdleOne> !ENTER | TU
[10:47] <ubotu> TU: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:47] <TU> and i was hoping to talk to someone who would be either able to fix it or at least log it
[10:48] <veynom> why shouldn't i login as root?
[10:48] <ikonia> TU its logged a few times in launchpad and most of the reponses are users error, hence why I'm asking to check your configs
[10:48] <ph8> bzwingzero: impressed? (with seamonkey)
[10:48] <baktaah__> Does anyone know of a good application to have multiple access-points like school, home, neighbour and etc?
[10:48] <ikonia> tu chat on irc is not the way to get bugs resolved
[10:48] <bruenig> !caps | preaction
[10:48] <ubotu> preaction: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[10:48] <xfreakk> how do u find out what system hardware u have using ubuntu
[10:48] <kane77> anybody correct me gcc  compiles c++, right?
[10:48] <Slart> jesson: here's something to read http://users.actcom.co.il/~choo/lupg/tutorials/c-on-unix/c-on-unix.html
[10:48] <christoffernors> bascule: yeah. already installed that.. but i dont wanna add a shortcut i wanna edit one already there..
[10:48] <TU> ikonia: i havn't touched the config though
[10:48] <TU> the local one at least
[10:48] <xfreakk> how do u find out what system hardware u have using ubuntu
[10:48] <TU> i tried to add a preappend statement
[10:48] <ikonia> TU - yes I appriciate that, that can be part of the problem
[10:48] <TU> but that dosn't work.
[10:49] <bascule> xfreakk: lspci -v
[10:49] <ikonia> TU try sending your hostname in the client
[10:49] <xfreakk> tgbx
[10:49] <bzwingzero> ph8: it is effectively the old Mozilla client. Firefox+Thunderbird+Sunbird+Chatzilla in one. I prefer them seperate. Less load time when I only need one.
[10:49] <TU> ikonia: how?
[10:49] <xfreakk> thnx
[10:49] <ikonia> the servers default config is to not respond properly to none-identfied clients
[10:49] <bruenig> kane77, g++ is in the mix too
[10:49] <gordonjcp> jesson: if you're looking for a nice IDE for Linux, you could do worse than try either Anjuta or KDevelop.  I used to use Anjuta but I use KDevelop now...
[10:49] <ikonia> add something like send host-name "mybox"; to dhclicent.conf
[10:49] <benanzo> I have two kernels installed, can I compile software for both at the same time?  or do I need to boot into each in order to compile a package for it?
[10:49] <kane77> bruenig, i never was c++ guy..
[10:50] <ph8> Andy: Do you have the nvidia settings utility?
[10:50] <ph8> it's extremely useful
[10:50] <ikonia> benanzo depends on the software's dependencies
[10:50] <TU> ikonia: is it possible for me to just switch up dhcp clients?
[10:50] <gordonjcp> benanzo: does what you're compiling specifically link against the kernel?
[10:50] <ikonia> TU which other where you thinking of using ?
[10:50] <TU> Anything that works.
[10:50] <benanzo> it's a kernel module for my iSight.
[10:50] <leladia> pls how do i add universe repository on ubuntu 7.04
[10:50] <bruenig> kane77, there is a g++ binary, I think that gcc will call that if it has a .cc or .cpp extension but I am not sure, but it does something obviously
[10:50] <ph8> what's their irc like bzwingzero? I still wine mIRC
[10:50] <TU> there has to be another dhcp client
[10:50] <ikonia> benanzo better to use a running config
[10:50] <benanzo> I am testing it with Gutsy/Feisty kernels.
[10:50] <ikonia> TU there is, but as I say, this is probably not a bug
[10:50] <PriceChild> !universe | leladia
[10:50] <ph8> !universe
[10:50] <ikonia> there are a few client issues if the server is not confiugred properly
[10:50] <ph8> !universerepository
[10:50] <ubotu> leladia: 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
[10:51] <TU> ikonia: it has to be.
[10:51] <TU> ikonia: this is the thing.
[10:51] <ikonia> TU no it doesn't have to be
[10:51] <TU> if it works under windows there is NO REASON it shouldn't work under linux
[10:51] <TU> misconfigured or not.
[10:51] <benanzo> ikonia: OK thanks
[10:51] <ikonia> TU there is a server and a client, if both are not confiugred in a compatible way - there can be a problem
[10:51] <kane77> bruenig, I'm sure gcc can handle more than just c, but I just didn't want to confuse jesse...  so I'd rather ask
[10:51] <leladia> should i run dat from the shell?
[10:51] <TU> ikonia: i get this.
[10:51] <bzwingzero> ph8: it is the chatzilla client. You can try it before downloading the suite. It is also available as an extension for Firefox.
[10:51] <PriceChild> leladia, read the message from ubotu
[10:51] <ikonia> TU working under windows doesn't prove anything
[10:51] <TU> ikonia: you need to slow down and listen
[10:51] <ph8> cheers
[10:51] <bzwingzero> Is it possible to default the alignment of the desktop icons to the right similar to how it is on a Mac? Currently running ubuntu (Gnome)
[10:52] <TU> ikonia: if it works under windows i expect it (and so dosn't anyone else who moves to windows that unlike me can't mess around and look for irc and help and edit config files) for it just work
[10:52] <ikonia> TU, I'm afraid thats not how things work
[10:52] <leladia> !unviverserepository is not working!!!
[10:52] <martin_> does anybody know of a free tool that when i run can extract id3 information from an mp3 file i.e. "id3tool something.mp3 -artist" would print the artist of that file?
[10:52] <TU> ikonia: i'm afriaid this is why no one uses linux :P
[10:52] <ikonia> many people use linux.
[10:52] <TU> ..
[10:53] <TU> just tell me what i can install to work around this.  Ubuntu seems to be the only distro with this problem
[10:53] <nathan_> I have two questions about virtualbox~ 1. when I run xp, the taskbar is too low and is covered up with my ubuntu taskbar, unless i erduce screen res of the vbox, which makes it too small; what can I do? 2 - is there a way to get warcraft 3 to work on it? it's not working for me.
[10:53] <TU> i don't want to solve this i just want it to work
[10:53] <TU> there already is a send hostname in my dhclient conf
[10:53] <ikonia> TU your not listening so its pointless telling you. I've already given you a possible fix - straight away
[10:53] <TU> it's already IN there
[10:53] <kane77> martin_, there is java library for sure.. I have used it in my program.. it can easily be made into such utility...
[10:54] <ikonia> TU run dhclient from the command line and see if it reports any errors or time outs
[10:54] <IdleOne> TU: there are 1177 linux users here not to mention all the redhat mandriva and ..... who are in other channels + all the ones who actualy read man pages and figure things out on theyre own. but yeah you are probably right and no one uses linux
[10:54] <ikonia> what is the dhcp server your getting information from ?
[10:54] <jesson> lst nooby question please. i have both python and C++ book after reading few chapters i  they do the same only diff code example in python just plain print " while C++  print = std :: Cout so wats the diff? can i do the same C++ appliction with python ?
[10:54] <TU> IdleOne: NO ONE DOES.
[10:54] <TU> ...
[10:54] <TU> this is why linux will never be mainstream.
[10:54] <TU> ever.
[10:54] <ikonia> TU - if you want help, lets sort it, if you don't please be quiet and stop disrupting
[10:54] <martin_> kane77, thanks, guess i'll have to do some digging
[10:54] <TU> no errors
[10:54] <TU> it hits my router fine
[10:54] <Slart> jesson: python and c has similar syntax.. but it's very different under the hood
[10:55] <ikonia> TU your router ?
[10:55] <ikonia> TU your router is the dhcp server ?
[10:55] <bruenig> jesson, they are different languages, its like any difference in language, english and spanish are not the same but they do the same thing in the end
[10:55] <NMajik> My laptop has a card reader and the cards my camera uses  are recognized automatically. However, a friend gave me a card (of a different style) to download some pictures from but I'm having issues mounting it. dmesg indicates "[37488.232000]  tifm_core: MemoryStick card detected in socket 0:0" but I'm not sure exactly what information this gives me. Can anyone recommend a solution?
[10:55] <TU> ikonia: i already said that.
[10:55] <ikonia> TU - no you didn't you told me it was at your school
[10:55] <ikonia> thats all you said
[10:55] <Slart> jesson: are you just starting programming? taking a course? or just for fun?
[10:55] <Evanlec> okay why doesnt this work?? sudo chmod -rwX /usr/local/games/quake4
[10:55] <koluyoe> nickrud: May I ask u one thing? Fedoracore is come from lnux red hat. and where Ubuntu come from? :P
[10:55] <jesson> great well if i made a program in python can i also make then executable in windows? like make them exe too ?
[10:55] <ikonia> that explains some things
[10:55] <jesson> for fun
[10:55] <ph8> NMajikL: is it a sony memorystick?
[10:55] <jesson> just for fun
[10:56] <ph8> it might not be supported by the average card reader, i'm not sure
[10:56] <ph8> or perhaps even by linux
[10:56] <kane77> jesson, well it depends.. certainly the same app can be done in python and in c++, but they are not the same thing for sure.
[10:56] <ph8> /ubuntu
[10:56] <nickrud> koluyoe: debian.org by way of canonical.com
[10:56] <oandrew> k bye"
[10:56] <preaction> Evanlec, it is working, it's removing the rwX bits from that file. you want a +
[10:56] <benanzo> TU: /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf is where dhclient's DNS servers can be configured
[10:56] <ikonia> benanzo he wants his server to issue them
[10:56] <ikonia> I've asked for his dhcp config but I've not seen it yet
[10:57] <Evanlec> preaction, aha! ty
[10:57] <kane77> jesson, what books do you have?
[10:57] <bruenig> jesson, for the most part, I mean when you start using libraries outside of python, unless those libraries exist on both and are identical, it won't work
[10:57] <benanzo> then that's not his system's fault...
[10:57] <eon_> hi
[10:57] <Slart> jesson: python and c are very different.. they might look the same but they are different.. if I were you I'd follow that book (if you think it's any good) and stay with c for now.. you can always try python, c++, perl or whatever later
[10:57] <ikonia> benanzo exactly
[10:57] <jesson> i have magnus leitland y? any recommendation?
[10:57] <TU> ikonia: how do you want it
[10:57] <TU> where do you want me to paste it.
[10:57] <ikonia> TU put it in a pastebin
[10:57] <eon_> i was wondering if i could get some help from you guys
[10:57] <ikonia> TU any pastebin will do, then post the link please
[10:57] <riotkittie> omg. omg. omg. omg. omg. omg. omg. omg. i'm connected.
[10:57] <benanzo> TU: why not use OpenDNS servers?  they're faster
[10:58] <Evanlec> preaction, okay, i did sudo chmod +rwX /usr/local/games/quake4 but still cannot install to that folder
[10:58] <Slart> jesson: it's been a very long time since I read any books on c/c++.. sorry
[10:58] <NMajik> ph8: Yes. A "MemoryStickPRO" if it matters
[10:58] <riotkittie> but i cant connect to my private network.
[10:58] <Slart> jesson: does it recommend using windows? visual c? something else?
[10:58] <nathan_> I have two questions about virtualbox~ 1. when I run xp, the taskbar is too low and is covered up with my ubuntu taskbar, unless i reduce screen res of the vbox, which makes it too small; what can I do? 2 - is there a way to get warcraft 3 to work on it? it's not working for me.
[10:58] <jesson> nope its pure python
[10:58] <bruenig> jesson, the c programmign language by kernighan and ritchie
[10:58] <preaction> Evanlec, you don't want uppercase X, you want lowercase x. and you only changed the permissions for the owner (root, i assume). are you installing as root?
[10:58] <xfreakk> how do i install nforce drivers for my nvidia DXG051 motherboard
[10:58] <TU> benanzo: because i don't want to screw around with this
[10:58] <riotkittie> but i'm connected. <does cartwheels>. you have no idea how exciting this is. and i have no idea how i did it. but my wireless is working. kind of.  <weeps>
[10:58] <TU> i just want it to work.
[10:58] <TU> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/m79093386
[10:58] <nickrud> bruenig: a classic ;)
[10:58] <Evanlec> preaction, no i want to install as user
[10:59] <preaction> Evanlec, no, you want to install as root, and run as user.
[10:59] <NMajik> ph8: I'm sure the card reader supports it (in a physical sense) because XP sees it.
[10:59] <TU> also when i tried to set opendns's servers as a preapend it didn't work.
[10:59] <Ari3s> how to instal broadcom wirelless drivers in Ubuntu ?who knows?
[10:59] <jesson> in bottom line its best for me to invest my time learning C++ than python? python seem easy tho
[10:59] <|thunder> Samba says mu user/pass is wrong when trying to access my shares from xp. any ideas ?
[10:59] <Ari3s> nothing works in ubuntu for me
[10:59] <xfreakk> how do i install nforce drivers for my nvidia DXG051 motherboard
[10:59] <ikonia> TU is this on a wirless lan by any chance ?
[10:59] <preaction> Evanlec, that's how best to do it. you don't want any normal user to have write permissions to an executable program (that's how viruses are spread)
[10:59] <riotkittie> Ari3s: you're going to need ndiswrapper, i believe
[10:59] <Slart> jesson: ah.. then you could start with python... no problem... is it a new bok?
[10:59] <kane77> jesson, I guess Slart is right start with c, although pointers can scare you (and the segfaults drive you crazy) but it's good to start with.. I started with pascal, then moved onto C, then php, java, haskell, prolog, ruby
[10:59] <TU> ikonia: i have wifi on eth1 and non wifi on eth2
[10:59] <benanzo> TU: your syntax must have been wrong
[10:59] <TU> but i don't use wifi in my room
[10:59] <nickrud> !broadcom | Ari3s
[10:59] <ubotu> Ari3s: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:59] <preaction> |thunder, did you set up the user/pass using "smbpasswd" ?
[10:59] <TU> benanzo: http://pastebin.com/m79093386 looks fine to me
[10:59] <Evanlec> preaction, oh, well, i need write permission right now cuz im in the middle of the installer
[10:59] <ikonia> TU so this test is on a wired connection
[11:00] <TU> yes.
[11:00] <xfreakk> question : how do i install nforce drivers for my nvidia DXG051 motherboard
[11:00] <TU> i am wired currently
[11:00] <|thunder> preaction; no, thanks
[11:00] <preaction> Evanlec, then quit the installer and run it using sudo. going forward would probably be bad
[11:00] <kane77> jesson, starting with c++ is not the best idea (in my opinion) it has both the pointers and OOP...
[11:00] <Slart> jesson: your best bet is to learn programming.. most schools start with java or pascal.. but I guess anything is good as long as you learn the basics of programming
[11:00] <Ari3s> !broadcom
[11:00] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:00] <Evanlec> preaction, alrighty
[11:00] <TU> wifi dosn't work either though
[11:00] <TU> for the record
[11:00] <xfreakk> question : how do i install nforce drivers for my nvidia DXG051 motherboard
[11:00] <ikonia> tu can you try removing the prepend lines and running dhclient from the command line please.
[11:01] <Evanlec> preaction, but sudo +rwx should give root write permission to that folder right?
[11:01] <TU> ikonia: so just delete those lines and do dhclient eth2?
[11:01] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: if it works already, you shouldn't need to.
[11:01] <bascule> martin_: a little late but extract looks like the way ahead
[11:01] <ikonia> tu yes that sounds good
[11:01] <TU> ikonia: how about i jsut restore the file to the defualt of debian
[11:01] <TU> erm
[11:01] <TU> ubuntu
[11:01] <leladia> thanks everyone
[11:01] <bascule> extract -p artist some.mp3
[11:01] <leladia> i finally got it to work
[11:01] <ikonia> tu show me uname -a please
[11:01] <xfreakk> bzwingzero my soundcard the X-FI wasnt supported so im trying to use oboard
[11:01] <preaction> Evanlec, you mean "sudo chmod +rwx /filepath", yes.
[11:01] <martin_> bascule, thanks
[11:01] <xfreakk> bzwingzero: one sec i will get audio error message for you
[11:02] <Evanlec> preaction, yea thats what i meant
[11:02] <kane77> suppose I buy K10 cpu (when they are out) will ubuntu be able to handle 4 cores?
[11:02] <benanzo> TU: try this http://pastebin.com/def6740f
[11:02] <preaction> Evanlec, perhaps it's best if you always do: u+rwx (which means User, which is the owner, other options include g for Group or O for Others [everyone] )

[11:02] <bascule> np, looks like a powerful tool, glad I found it myself
[11:02] <Scunizi> How do I use wget with a variable to download several files ending in .gif?  I've tried "wget http://www.foo.bar/*.gif" with no success.
[11:02] <bruenig> preaction, and a
[11:02] <xfreakk> bzwingzero : this is my error "Could not establish connection to sound server"
[11:02] <preaction> bruenig, for all?
[11:02] <bruenig> preaction, yeah
[11:02] <ikonia> TU ok - super, so lets drop the prepend lines and run dhclient against eth2
[11:02] <Evanlec> preaction, but didnt u just say that was bad to give my user write permissions?
[11:03] <preaction> haven't come across that one yet
[11:03] <ikonia> tu while doing that tail the syslog
[11:03] <bruenig> preaction, a = ugo
[11:03] <ikonia> tu /var/log/messages
[11:03] <Slart> Scunizi: wget comes with a looooong manual... read it.. there are ways of only getting files matching a certain pattern
[11:03] <preaction> Evanlec, yes, it is. i was merely giving you information for future reference
[11:03] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: hmm. Not sure. Let me check and see if I can find something.
[11:03] <Evanlec> preaction, kk
[11:03] <ikonia> tu you with me ?
[11:03] <TU> yes
[11:03] <xfreakk> bzwingzero : thnx
[11:03] <kane77> Scunizi, I'd say put the filenames in a text file and serve it to wget...
[11:03] <ikonia> tu super
[11:03] <TU> theres like 4 people telling me to do stuff
[11:03] <Slart> Scunizi: I'm not being evil here.. I don't remember the exact parameter myself.. something with "accept"
[11:03] <bruenig> preaction, however simply putting no specification will imply a, so +rwx = ugo+rwx = a+rwx
[11:03] <ikonia> tu ok, I'll back away until your ready, work through what you want in the order you want
[11:04] <ikonia> tu shout if you want anything
[11:04] <Scunizi> kane77, unfortunatly I don't know the file names just that they end in .gif
[11:04] <Scunizi> Slart, thanks.
[11:04] <TU> ikonia: i already did everything
[11:04] <TU> i reran the dhclient eth2
[11:04] <TU> and removed those lines
[11:04] <riotkittie> hm.
[11:04] <TU> (err not in that order though)
[11:04] <TU> my resolv.conf is still bad though
[11:04] <ikonia> Tu no problem, I get what your saying. And whats the syslog saying
[11:04] <veynom> !glide
[11:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about glide - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:04] <bascule> Scunizi: easy *.gif
[11:04] <kane77> Scunizi, there is an option to recursively download... you can try the gwget (if you don't need it for some kind of script)

[11:04] <AeroStick> hi babes
[11:05] <HoboBen> Hi, I just installed clisp on Ubuntu 7.04 and I have a textfile called helloworld.lisp allowed to execute as program. What shebang (#!interpreter) location do I need?
[11:05] <benanzo> ikonia: is the order of the items in dhclient.conf sensitive?  for instance, is it the same to have the "prepend domain-name-servers" line before/after the "request .." line?  that might make a difference.
[11:05] <preaction> HoboBen, what does "which lisp" say?
[11:05] <ikonia> benanzo some are

[11:05] <HoboBen> preaction d'oh, thanks :-)
[11:05] <HoboBen> (/usr/bin/clisp), simple as :-)
[11:06] <kane77> can anybody help with this?
[11:06] <Scunizi> bascule, mentioned above that syntax doesn't wrk
[11:06] <kane77> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=545421
[11:06] <ikonia> TU ok so you've now got an IP address.
[11:06] <AeroStick> i just downloaded GUTSY GIBBON livecd, the livecd started well, the desktop was okay, the "install" icon were there but when i double click on it; there happened NOTHING. Anybody have any idea why it was so?
[11:06] <xfreakk> list users
[11:06] <TU> ikonia: it is setup static
[11:06] <preaction> !gutsy | AeroStick
[11:06] <ubotu> AeroStick: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1

[11:06] <ubotu> MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
[11:06] <TU> ikonia: the dhcp server always returns 42
[11:06] <ikonia> TU does it return 42 based on your mac address ?
[11:06] <kane77> TU, because that is the answer to everything!
[11:06] <Helzibah> AeroStick: Gutsy Gibbon isn't useable yet, try Feisty Fawn (7.04)
[11:07] <xfreakk> lynx
[11:07] <TU> ikonia: yes.
[11:07] <ikonia> TU I assume your dns servers are now borked
[11:07] <TU> yea
[11:07] <TU> currently.
[11:07] <AeroStick> preaction: i know that it's a development and not finished, and i use the Feisty Fawn now already Helzibah, i's just wanted to know if somebody tried it like me and if could found a solution for that..
[11:07] <ikonia> TU can you run a test for me
[11:08] <ikonia> TU I need you to "sudo cat /dev/null >/etc/resov.conf"
[11:08] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: That motherboard is an Nforce4 board. Mine is as well (but not dell brand) and I know to rout the sound to the onboard sound instead of a card there was a jumper setting.
[11:08] <ryanakca> how can one tell what app is using sound?
[11:08] <bjwebb> why is there no ffmpeg-dev package?
[11:08] <ikonia> TU then I need you to reboot that box with the dhcclient config you've got
[11:08] <ikonia> you do need to reboot, not just re-run dhclient
[11:08] <xfreakk> bzwingzero: some more info i have a dell xps 600
[11:09] <TU> i think my resolv.conf is write only.
[11:09] <ikonia> TU exactly !
[11:09] <ikonia> TU read only
[11:09] <TU> i set it in an attempt to get it to stop being rewritten
[11:09] <TU> ikonia: that was recent though
[11:09] <ikonia> TU ok - so lets re-set it
[11:09] <Slart> Scunizi: here's something http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Types-of-Files
[11:09] <ikonia> TU set it for this test to 755
[11:09] <xfreakk> bzwingzero: do you have the time to explain to me how to rout it and get it running
[11:09] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: I know on my motherboard, with the same exact chipset, there is a physical jumper that needs to be put on a couple of pins to send the audio to the onboard connections.
[11:09] <svu> is gupnp .deb available for ubuntu anywhere?
[11:09] <nathan_> is there a way to get warcraft 3 to work on virtualbox? it's not working for me. says can't find cd.
[11:09] <TU> i get premission denied
[11:09] <bjwebb> why is there no ffmpeg-dev package?
[11:10] <TU> from that cat dev null command
[11:10] <ikonia> TU use sudo
[11:10] <TU> i did
[11:10] <ikonia> TU sudo chmod 775 /etc/resov.conf
[11:10] <Slart> nathan_: why not use wine? doesn't work?
[11:10] <TU> nicholas@nicholas-laptop:/etc$ sudo cat /dev/null >/etc/resolv.conf
[11:10] <TU> bash: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied
[11:10] <TU> ikonia: did that.
[11:10] <AeroStick> i just downloaded GUTSY GIBBON livecd, the livecd started well, the desktop was okay, the "install" icon were there but when i double click on it; there happened NOTHING. Anybody have any idea why it was so?
[11:10] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: I would imagine there is a similar jumper on the Dell version of the motherboard but without actually seeing the motherboard itself I wouldn't know which jumper.
[11:10] <TU> nicholas@nicholas-laptop:/etc$ sudo chmod 775 /etc/resov.conf
[11:10] <TU> chmod: cannot access `/etc/resov.conf': No such file or director\
[11:10] <HoboBen> Okey doke, I've got the right shebang, for lisp but if I run my program in Terminal I just get an empty terminal with a blinking cursor. What does this suggest?
[11:10] <ikonia> TU ahhhh
[11:10] <Slart> AeroStick: gutsy support is in #ubuntu+1
[11:10] <clever> TU: redirects open as your user not root
[11:10] <ikonia> TU sudo touch /etc/resov.conf
[11:10] <AeroStick> ok
[11:11] <lessthanjake> Someone running Gutsy on an Dell D630? I have a problem with the fan spinning way to often!!
[11:11] <TU> okay
[11:11] <TU> i deleted it
[11:11] <TU> touched it
[11:11] <ikonia> lessthanjake /join #ubuntu+1

[11:11] <lessthanjake> Thanks!
[11:11] <xfreakk> bzwingzero can it be the cable that was plugged into my soundcard?
[11:11] <ikonia> TU chmod 755 /etc/resolv.conf

[11:11] <TU> it is already writable..
[11:11] <TU> okay.

[11:11] <xfreakk> bzwingzero: do i have to plug that cable into my motherboard somewhere
[11:11] <ikonia> TU ok - going nowhere

[11:12] <alvaro__> hi
[11:12] <xfreakk> bzwingzero: i removed my soundcard out of the comp
[11:12] <koluyoe> nickrud: ubuntu is come from debian?
[11:12] <Mersault> Does anyone here have any experience getting Ubuntu to work well with SATA drives in an nForce RAID configuration? The system disc itself is just IDE, I'm intending to use the RAID for storage only.
[11:12] <Evanlec> ah, what the terminal command to move a bunch of files with squential names like, game00, game001, etc
[11:12] <Slart> HoboBen: perl just use #/usr/bin/perl ... don't know if lisp is special (probably is =)
[11:13] <HoboBen> Slart, thanks, will try to fiddle it that way :-)
[11:13] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: there is likely a set of pins that would need a jumper somewhere on the motherboard. I know on mine they were near the bottom left.
[11:13] <Chinaski1> hello, no activity in #ubuntu-effects, so i post here: anyone know how to set menus' opacity within compiz-fusion?
[11:13] <proqesi> HoboBen: that depends on where you installed it.  type: which clisp
[11:13] <nathan_> Slart: wc3 is unplayable in wine since you can't scroll with the mouse you would have to use the keypads
[11:13] <Slart> HoboBen: http://www.xhbml.com/archives/category/linux/ , says here it is #!/usr/bin/env clisp
[11:14] <HoboBen> proqesi, I found clisp, it appears to be the right place
[11:14] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: it was a set of like six pins. A certain two would need to be jumpered for a sound card or a different two for onboard.
[11:14] <HoboBen> Slart, thank you, will try that
[11:14] <xfreakk> bzwingzero : just to be sure before i fuck around with it, a jumper isnt connected to a cable its just a thing that goes on the pins? or is it a cable?
[11:14] <bascule> xfreakk: isn't just a BIOS setting
[11:14] <bascule> ?
[11:14] <IdleOne> !ohmy | xfreakk
[11:14] <ubotu> xfreakk: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:14] <TU> ikonia: no go.
[11:14] <xfreakk> bascule : completely forgot to check the bios lol should do that
[11:14] <TU> i had to manually set my resolv.conf
[11:15] <TU> so i could rejoin the channel heh
[11:15] <ikonia> tu what was in the resolv.conf ?
[11:15] <TU> same thing as last time
[11:15] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: it is a small piece of plastic (with a smaller piece of metal inside). If you want to see what one looks like, there is usually one on the back of each ide hdd for master/slave setting.
[11:15] <ikonia> which is
[11:15] <ikonia> 127.0.7.2
[11:15] <ikonia> oops
[11:15] <ikonia> 127.0.0.1 ?
[11:15] <bascule> xfreakk: np, easy mistake, go for "load setup defaults"
[11:15] <TU> ikonia: "nameserver 127.0.0.1\nsearch unh.edu"
[11:15] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: I wouldn't go randomly connecting pins with jumpers in the computer without a diagram.
[11:15] <HoboBen> Slart, it worked! Thank you very much! :-)
[11:15] <ikonia> TU thats where it gets itneresting
[11:16] <leladia> what happens when u type 'set' command in bash?
[11:16] <xfreakk> bzwingzero : k thnx i had to replace the jumper on my motherboard once to restart it with factory settings or something but i dont think thats the same as switching to oboard is it?
[11:16] <ikonia> TU as its getting the domain name - so your router must be sending something
[11:16] <Slart> HoboBen: you're welcome
[11:16] <TU> ikonia: does that mean its a bug :P
[11:16] <ikonia> leagris try it
[11:16] <ikonia> TU - not nessasarilly,
[11:16] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: That probably just reset the bios settings to the factory default
[11:16] <bascule> leladia: it sets an enviroment variable
[11:16] <xfreakk> bzwingzero: yea that was it, is that the same jumper?
[11:16] <jovksy_> hi all
[11:16] <leladia> like...?
[11:16] <xfreakk> bzwingzero: or is it a diff jumper that i need
[11:16] <bascule> leladia: help set
[11:16] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: Probably not.
[11:17] <xfreakk> bzwingzero : thnx for all ur help, do u have an email i could reach u at or anything
[11:17] <bzwingzero> xfreakk; It might not even have an extra jumper to put there. If you give me a sec, I will look at what mine are labeled
[11:17] <jovksy_> I have a lan and I want to connect by ssh to my pcs without knowing ip, they have dynamic ips, how please?
[11:17] <CoasterMaster> I have a missing operating system error upon boot after installing Ubuntu (and getting rid of Windows).  Any ideas?
[11:17] <xfreakk> bzwingzero : ok i will wait
[11:17] <bascule> CoasterMaster: cause windows is missing?
[11:18] <CoasterMaster> bascule: but Ubuntu is installed
[11:18] <ConstyXIV> isin't there some app in ubuntu that lets you make slideshows to put on a video DVD?
[11:18] <TU> ikonia: can we take this to message
[11:18] <Slart> jovksy_: is there a dhcp-server on the lan?
[11:18] <TU> ikonia: theres so much scroll it is hard to keep up
[11:18] <bascule> CoasterMaster: I don't know grub well but that might upset it, missing an OS that is listed
[11:18] <ikonia> tu I agree, but on the client I'm on at the moment it will do the same
[11:18] <Steve^> what are Hyper, Meta and Super keys?
[11:18] <jovksy_> Slart: no...
[11:19] <bascule> alt, altgr and windows logo Steve^
[11:19] <Helzibah> Steve^: Supor key is the windows logo key
[11:19] <Slart> Steve^: Meta might be alt
[11:19] <TU> ikonia: lame.

[11:19] <ikonia> tu bit of a pain
[11:19] <TU> ikonia: what client?
[11:19] <proqesi> I am upgraded to edgy via apt-get dist-upgrade. there are about a hundred packages which won't upgrade, how do I fix this?
[11:19] <ikonia> tu BitchX
[11:19] <preaction> Evanlec, does running the installer with sudo not work either?
[11:19] <Evanlec> no i rant he installer
[11:19] <TU> ikonia: can't you make a window for all the messages?
[11:20] <TU> or move to a real client like irssi :P
[11:20] <Slart> jovksy_: you could run some kind of dyndns.org client on them.. it's a free dynamic alias service that works on linux/windows/mac etc
[11:20] <Evanlec> but i need to copy some files into the game directory
[11:20] <jovksy_> Slart: but I want only at LAN
[11:20] <ikonia> not on this coniguration
[11:20] <Evanlec> but there's like 15 of em so i didnt wanna use command line...less there's an easier wau
[11:20] <Evanlec> *way
[11:20] <TU> ikonia: oh well
[11:20] <preaction> Evanlec, use sudo to do that? or "gksudo nautilus" to open a nautilus that has root permissions
[11:20] <TU> ikonia: any other ideas?
[11:20] <ikonia> tu sorry
[11:20] <ikonia> Tu just pondering
[11:20] <Evanlec> preaction, aha
[11:21] <TU> eh no big deal
[11:21] <jovksy_> Slart: I want to can connect to pc by ssh only with name, not ip, in LAN
[11:21] <TU> i'll /lastlog it if needed
[11:21] <riotkittie> ive never been so happy to be on my stupid, unsecured network. <kisses it>
[11:21] <jovksy_> Slart: in windows I do \\PC1 for example
[11:21] <gehel_> jovksy_: name resolution problems ?
[11:21] <Slart> jovksy_: I would say you'd need a dns server but since you don't have a dhcp server you can't just put up a dns server and expect it to work..
[11:22] <bzwingzero> xfreakk; On my motherboard the set of pins is labeled JAUD1. There are two rows of pins, the top row has 4 and the bottom row has 5. The gap in the top is above the fourth pin on the bottom. For onboard audio on my version of the board the 3rd pair and the 5th pair are jummpered.
[11:22] <riotkittie> the fix for my adapter is ridiculously simple or so it seems but none of the threads/how-tos/whatevers i have seen mention it
[11:22] <gehel_> jovksy_: do you use static IPs ?
[11:22] <jovksy_> gehel_: no, I want can user dynamic ips
[11:22] <jovksy_> gehel_: no, I want can use dynamic ips
[11:22] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: But before jumpering them, note: I have a MSI board with the same chipset as the dell board (yours). Your jumpers may be need  to be different
[11:22] <Slart> jovksy_: on my home lan I have a server acting as a dhcp-server and a dns-server.. it knows what ip numbers it hands out and maps those to dns-records.. but if your ip numbers are handed out by something else I don't know a way of getting the info to the dns server
[11:23] <riotkittie> i found it in a thread for another adapter altogether. maybe i should go post to the forums so its more easily found.
[11:23] <fujin_> use dnsmasq; two birds with one stone
[11:23] <fujin_> it's a local caching nameserver, and a dhcp server
[11:23] <Evanlec> preaction, okay, files copied, now i need to give user execute privalege right?
[11:23] <fujin_> chmod u+x file
[11:23] <xfreakk> bzwingzero : what is the worst that can happen if i jumper it wrong
[11:23] <Slart> fujin_: can't have a dhcp server.. something else is already handing out ip's =/
[11:24] <preaction> Evanlec, not "user", you want "everyone", so use "a+x" or "o+x"
[11:24] <fujin_> so kill it?
[11:24] <Evanlec> k
[11:24] <Slart> fujin_: hehe.. problems are there to be solved
[11:24] <gehel_> jovksy_: then you should have a look at avahi, but name resolution with dynamic IPs is insecured and not widely supported under Linux
[11:24] <Evanlec> if i do it to the directory of the game say /usr/local/games/quake4 will that give execute to all files contained within?
[11:24] <drewsci> /WHOIS drewsci
[11:24] <jovksy_> Slart: so, if I want to connect to my LAN pcs, do I need specify names and IPs to /etc/hosts if I want connect with name not ip?
[11:25] <xfreakk> bzwingzero : what is the worst that can happen if i jumper it wrong
[11:25] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: absolute worst: you fry the board. Likely result: still no sound.
[11:25] <preaction> Evanlec, no. you only want execute bits for the actual executables. usually located in /usr/local/games/quake4/bin
[11:25] <HoboBen> I'm off. Good night and thanks to all.
[11:25] <bascule> :)
[11:25] <Slart> jovksy_: well.. yes.. but the ip's will change next time they boot
[11:25] <Slart> jovksy_: or.. they might change.. not will
[11:25] <jovksy_> Slart: yeah, that's problem
[11:25] <jovksy_> but I need dynamic ips
[11:25] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: Also goese without saying, you shut off the computer first and disconnect powdr.
[11:25] <gehel_> jovksy_: you could configure your DHCP server to always give the same IPs
[11:25] <FFForever> how can i set a cron to open a webpage then after the page finishes loading it ends the cron?
[11:25] <jovksy_> what's about avahi gehel_?
[11:26] <jovksy_> gehel_: for the name?
[11:26] <Slart> FFForever: use wget?
[11:26] <xfreakk> bzwingzero : so i guess ill open it up and take a look, maybe not do anything just yet but ill take a look and do u have an email or should i come back on this irc and message you
[11:26] <ootm> what can i use to do bandwidth shaping/throttling in ubuntu server?
[11:26] <Slart> FFForever: or.. you want to open it in a browser? not just download it?
[11:26] <gehel_> jovksy_: that's zeroconf for Linux. It *should* do what you need but I've never used it (http://avahi.org)
[11:26] <FFForever> Slart, thanks :), i just need to do a remote cron on a php page since my host does not offer crons :)
[11:27] <Slart> ootm: there's something called trickle.. you can do proper shaping with limits and stuff using iptables.. but that's like saying you can dig a hole to chine.. theoretically it's true ;)
[11:28] <drewsci> /leave #ubuntu
[11:28] <gehel_> ootm: there is some bandwdth shaping capabilities with shorewall, but not that easy to configure (b/w shaping is always tricky ...)
[11:28] <leladia> how do i use 'filec' variable after setting it?
[11:28] <jovksy_> gehel_: I'll try it, thanks
[11:28] <gehel_> jovksy_: good luck !you'll need it !
[11:29] <bzwingzero> So, does anyone know if it is possible to set the default alignment of desktop icons to the right similar to how it is in OSX? Using vanilla ubuntu (gnome)
[11:29] <fujin> icons are for weenys
[11:29] <fujin> alt+f2
[11:29] <baktaah__> Could someone please tell me how to remove old "crap" from gconf editor.. I want it clean, I removed Epiphany but it is still in Gconf
[11:29] <drewsci> /leave
[11:29] <fujin> drewsci, /part
[11:29] <ootm> Slart, thanks
[11:29] <Slart> hehe.. nice.. didn't know about alt+f2
[11:29] <ootm> gehel_, thanks
[11:29] <drewsci> thanks
[11:30] <fujin> lol, alt+f2 = wins
[11:30] <ootm> i'll have a look at both
[11:31] <gehel_> ootm: if you want a good book, have a look at building internet firewalls
[11:31] <ootm> gehel_, cheers. will take a look
[11:31] <Slart> hehe.. I just had to try if there was other alt+f? combinations.. well.. alt+f4 still worked
[11:32] <m12> hello
[11:32] <baktaah__> Could someone please tell me how to remove old "crap" from gconf editor.. I want it clean, I removed Epiphany but it is still in Gconf'
[11:32] <gehel_> baktaah__: xemacs ?
[11:33] <baktaah__> gehel_, xemacs?
[11:33] <cdm10> Any GIMP gurus here? I'd like to discard the red and green channels of an image, and copy the blue channel over to them to create a black-and-white image of just the blue channel. How can I do this?
[11:34] <xfreakk> Anyone know what the root password for alsaconf is
[11:34] <mohamed_> !ati
[11:34] <Ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:34] <gehel_> baktaah__: sorry, it was a joke ... (though it should work) I have no idea, but dont worry, having crap in gconf should not be a problem
[11:34] <TU> ikonia: any new ideas?
[11:34] <baktaah__> gehel_, well I need some space, and Im sorta like of a control freak
[11:34] <kag> Hi guys, I'm having problem with my sound card. I've pushed all the sliders all the way up in Alsa Mixer and I still can't hear a sound in many applications (like VLC or Firefox). Actually the only applications that are outputting sound are Totem Movie Player and Skype. Any idea on what I could try?
[11:34] <xfreakk> Anyone know what the root password for alsaconf is
[11:34] <ikonia> TU struggling to be honest, I'm seeing sporadick reports of the same thing.
[11:34] <TU> i told you it was a bug :P
[11:35] <ikonia> TU mostly related to a bug in the linksys firmware on certain versions
[11:35] <Slart> xfreakk: I don't think alsaconf has a separate root password
[11:35] <gehel_> xfreakk: ? what do you mean ?
[11:35] <ikonia> TU your not using a linksys reouter are you ?
[11:35] <TU> ikonia: netgear
[11:35] <xfreakk> Start: i mean whats the root password if u havent specified one
[11:35] <ikonia> TU different to the reported problems
[11:35] <Slart> xfreakk: can't you just run it with sudo?
[11:35] <CoasterMaster> xfreakk, there is no root password
[11:35] <riotkittie> xfreakk: there is no root pw, root is locked. used sudo and your password
[11:35] <CoasterMaster> !root | xfreakk
[11:35] <Ubotu> xfreakk: 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
[11:36] <xfreakk> Start : ill try
[11:37] <Slart> you do that, yfreakk
[11:37] <xfreakk> how do you execute alsaconf from the term
[11:37] <jovksy_> gehel_: ubuntu has activated by default avahi, I need only specify the pc name with .local, for example, pc1.local
[11:37] <gehel_> jovksy_: and that works ?!? So easy ?
[11:38] <jovksy_> yeah
[11:38] <gehel_> jovksy_: I should have had a look at avahi before !
[11:38] <jovksy_> gehel_: we don't need to know the ip, only name
[11:38] <jovksy_> name.local
[11:38] <kabir-> !X11 | kabir-
[11:38] <gehel_> jovksy_: amazing !Thanks for trying that for me !
[11:38] <jovksy_> you don't must configure nothing
[11:38] <leladia> how do i use 'filec'?
[11:39] <nathan_> anyone here actually use warcraft and wine?
[11:39] <gehel_> leladia: what is filec ?
[11:39] <leladia> gehel: a variable
[11:39] <kousotu> nathan_: that would be a topic for #wineHQ
[11:39] <leladia> that is suppose to enable filename completion
[11:40] <Turbo1> Ok i just wanted to know if i have a hd with xp on it and i just installed virtualbox and i wanted to know if i can connect to my xp drive with it and if yes, how do i do this?
[11:40] <gehel_> leladia: under bash ? You should try to use bash_completion
[11:40] <leladia> gehel: i am using csh
[11:41] <gehel_> leladia: too bad, I'm a bash user ...
[11:41] <leladia> gehel:okay...

[11:41] <mico> hi.      need a litle help here plz ...  I'm trying to connect my modem umts to the net and share net over wireless to another ubuntu box, but if I connect the net with the netcard in the up state, I can't see any page
[11:42] <leladia> can someone help me with setting up filec on csh and how it works?
[11:42] <alyx> it hangs at 57% (ip address configuration) if there is no encryption and if there is it hangs at 28% (configuring device) i need help
[11:42] <niekie> anonymous_: have you tried doing a "sudo apt-get update" first?
[11:42] <SnarkyTwit> I actually got wireless to work on a microsoft wireless card!  LOL
[11:42] <mico> hi.      need a litle help here plz ...  I'm trying to connect my modem umts to the net and share net over wireless to another ubuntu box, but if I connect the net with the netcard in the up state, I can't see any page, I have to put the down state in the network card to be able to brouse the net
[11:43] <niekie> anonymous_: if that works, please tell me :-)
[11:43] <anonymous_> niekie.. uh.. nope.. thanks I'lll try it
[11:43] <gehel_> anonymous_: you might get around using just "dd conv=sync,noerror"
[11:43] <niekie> anonymous_: also, just wondering, what happened? (for you to need to use ddrescue) (You don't have to answer this :-))
[11:44] <anonymous_> niekie: it's downloading updates right now. I'm pretty sure It'll work. Thanks!
[11:44] <riotkittie> yay for harddisk breakage. :|
[11:44] <niekie> anonymous_: nice :-)
[11:44] <gnewsensical> best place for reliable torrent meta files for linux iso's? linuxtracker.org is reliable?
[11:44] <niekie> riotkittie: I dropped it on the floor accidentally (was an external one)
[11:44] <gehel_> anonymous_: spinrite makes wonders ...
[11:44] <niekie> A new and nice 500GB one too =(
[11:45] <riotkittie> niekie: you're not the only one.
[11:45] <niekie> Damn cables lying on the floor.
[11:45] <riotkittie> but its not so much that i dropped mine, as it is i'm a moron who pulled on the usb cord. :x
[11:45] <gehel_> niekie: I broke 3 HDD ... bad electricity in Rwanda ...
[11:45] <riotkittie> and it went flying. :|
[11:45] <anonymous_> gehel_: is there spinrite for unix as well? I though just ms?
[11:45] <niekie> riotkittie: yeah, that happened.
[11:45] <niekie> I tripped over either the power or USB wire.
[11:45] <gehel_> anonymous_: OSindependant
[11:46] <Turbo1> Let me repeat my question "Ok i just wanted to know if i have a hd with xp on it and i just installed virtualbox and i wanted to know if i can connect to my xp drive with it and if yes, how do i do this?"
[11:46] <alyx> ok so im going to do a ubuntu reinstall damn it i hate that!
[11:46] <anonymous_> okay then...
[11:46] <foo> I want to make an ssh user who basically has a dsa key, and access to use ssh... and nothing else. Is this easily done? without making a chroot...
[11:46] <anonymous_> gehel_can the drive be external.. or does it have to be IDE?
[11:46] <ikonia> foo yup just enable ssh keys only in sshd_config
[11:46] <Kabelludo_> how change de serv ?  /serve ?
[11:46] <riotkittie> i wish i could figure out of the drive itself was dead, or if it was just the enclosure. but my husband wont let me crack the enclosure open :\
[11:46] <gehel_> anonymous_: in some case it works with external, but it works better with straight IDE
[11:46] <niekie> Kabelludo_: huh? :-)
[11:46] <QueenAnya> how do I uninstall Ubuntu and install windows??
[11:47] <riotkittie> alyx: why are you reinstalling?
[11:47] <gehel_> foo:what do you mean by "just ssh" ?
[11:47] <niekie> QueenAnya: hold on.
[11:47] <riotkittie> QueenAnya : just delete the partition.
[11:47] <anonymous_> gehel_ thanks.. good to know
[11:47] <alyx> i screwed up my wireless some how  riotkittie
[11:47] <wazir> QueenAnya:send the cd back to Canonical
[11:47] <Jack_Sparrow> QueenAnya: JUst install windows, it has no problem taking the whole disk and overwriting everything
[11:47] <niekie> QueenAnya: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/247804
[11:47] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[11:47] <foo> ikonia / gehel_ : hmm, basically, I want to create an ssh portal for someone.. so he can use my system as an ssh gateway to other systems that just has keys setup. So, by "just ssh" .. I mean, ssh program and his key
[11:48] <alyx> i followed the instructions at ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=285846
[11:48] <niekie> Microsoft apparently has a knowledge base article about how to remove Linux ;)
[11:48] <alyx> and everythiing wen smoothly but then my wireless stoped connecting
[11:48] <Bakefy> does ubuntu burn DL disks
[11:48] <ikonia> foo dead easy  - create a user add his key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and then disable other login methods from sshd_config
[11:48] <Bakefy> DL DVD
[11:48] <RedMercury> hello - whats an easy way to see what my USB drive is mapped to in /dev ?
[11:49] <xfreakk> bzwingzero : you there?
[11:49] <RedMercury> ive plugged in my iomega rev drive, i can see it in lsusb but i dont know where to mount it from
[11:49] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: yes.
[11:49] <niekie> RedMercury: it did not automount?
[11:49] <xfreakk> bzwingzero : i got it working
[11:49] <foo> ikonia: Hm, I understand that... but I mean, I want to give them access only to the ssh application via ssh. hm, /me wonders if that makes sense
[11:49] <xfreakk> its a 10 pin wire or atleast almost 10 pins
[11:49] <RedMercury> niekie: its not in my fstab
[11:49] <ikonia> foo disable login shell
[11:49] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: congrats.
[11:50] <RedMercury> its not a pendrive, its a UDF file system removable hard drive thingy
[11:50] <foo> ikonia: I only want them to have access to ssh if they login via ssh...
[11:50] <xfreakk> bzwingzero: u plug that wire into the motherboard and also my onboard was off in the bios
[11:50] <niekie> RedMercury: this is the only removable drive currently connected to your PC?
[11:50] <xfreakk> bzwingzero: thnx so much
[11:50] <kousotu> can someone hlp me wih this: http://pastebin.com/d78bf2094
[11:50] <foo> ikonia: Hm, or... basically, they're going to ssh into me, and I want them to only be able to ssh out with that account, nothing else
[11:50] <bzwingzero> xfreakk: glad I could be of help.
[11:50] <RedMercury> yes, at the moment
[11:50] <alyx> but before i can do anything i have to get a blank dvd so i can save my vm and the stuff i want to keep
[11:50] <ikonia> foo /join #ubuntu+1
[11:51] <ikonia> kousotu whats the problem - ie: what are the symptoms, why have you run a strace
[11:51] <niekie> RedMercury: try ls -la /dev|grep plugdev
[11:51] <ikonia> oops
[11:51] <riotkittie> why not just kill your wireless set up completely and restart from scratch, rather than totally reinstalling ubuntu
[11:51] <niekie> RedMercury: how much output does that give for you?
[11:51] <bascule> is there a way f setting custom album covers in rhythmbox
[11:51] <kousotu> ikonia: doesn't open, perriod
[11:51] <RedMercury> zero
[11:51] <niekie> RedMercury: hrmm..
[11:51] <RedMercury> niekie: i wonder if im missing a kernel module
[11:51] <Steve^> If I map the windows key to super or meta.. does it matter which?
[11:51] <Turbo1> Can anyone help me i asked my question twice already thx
[11:51] <alyx> riotkittie kill it how?
[11:51] <Steve^> *hyper or meta
[11:51] <niekie> RedMercury: could be.
[11:51] <niekie> It didn't autodetect it at least, apparently.
[11:52] <RedMercury> btw, do you know how i can get and reload the kernel source?
[11:52] <niekie> Or it would have tried to mount it, most probably.
[11:52] <RedMercury> i come from gentoo land
[11:52] <RedMercury> recompile even
[11:52] <niekie> RedMercury: I haven't really ever done that, so I don't really know, but I am sure it's possible.
[11:52] <niekie> RedMercury: have a look at the Ubuntu wiki :-)
[11:53] <bzwingzero> So, does anyone know if it is possible to set the default alignment of desktop icons to the right similar to how it is in OSX? Using vanilla ubuntu (gnome)
[11:53] <RedMercury> :)
[11:53] <niekie> !wiki
[11:53] <Ubotu> http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu development documentation wiki. If you are looking for system help, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community - the Ubuntu community documentation.
[11:53] <niekie> RedMercury: those links might help :-)
[11:53] <RedMercury> thanks
[11:54] <niekie> No problem at all :-)
[11:54] <Turbo1> Ok i just wanted to know if i have a hd with xp on it and i just installed virtualbox and i wanted to know if i can connect to my xp drive with it and if yes, how do i do this?

[11:55] <kynes> hey I install various kinds of custom distros based on ubuntu like Mint, keeping my old Home partition
[11:55] <kynes> but I want to use Mint's custom menus etc.
[11:55] <kynes> how should I reset my Gnome configuration?
[11:56] <niekie> mico: which network card? The UMTS card or the network card to the other Ubuntu box?
[11:56] <ikonia> kynes you've just lost support - sorry
[11:56] <kynes> ikonia: why?
[11:56] <ikonia> kynes your not meant to mix and match
[11:56] <Turbo1> Any know anything about virtualbox?
[11:56] <monkeyBox> I'm trying to add my printer and it autodetected two printers (same printer), and one has "HPLIP" on it.  What is "HPLIP" and is that the one I want to install?
[11:57] <kynes> ikonia: you say I should either keep my Home or do not install another custom distro?
[11:57] <unperson> Hi, I've just recently upgraded from Edgy to Feisty and now my system won't boot properly.  I have my / partition on a RAID0 device (using  mdadm) and all of a sudden after the upgrade it doesn't seem to be able to mount it.  I don't know a ton about software RAID, so I'm hoping someone could help me troubleshoot.
[11:57] <ikonia> kynes on ubuntu - use ubuntu packages only
[11:57] <Thyrane> Is there a way to view how much of a file's been downloaded from my FTP (vsftpd)?
[11:57] <Baktaah> !nvidia
[11:57] <Ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:58] <xazo> Can Ubuntu run virtual server? If so, what program can I install on Ubuntu to run virtual windows operating systems?
[11:58] <kynes> ikonia: that's so limiting for linux mentality
[11:58] <ikonia> kynes no its not
[11:58] <niekie> xazo: there are several ways to run a virtual server on Ubuntu.
[11:58] <kynes> ikonia: okay have your opinion
[11:58] <tarelerulz> I took out one of my drive and put in one 500 gb and 160 is the drive with ubuntu and windows and I get a error 5 from grub ? any one run into that
[11:58] <Chousuke> kynes: On Ubuntu, use Ubuntu packages only; exceptions allowed if you don't have to ask how
[11:58] <ikonia> kynes you can't expect packages for other distributions to work on a different distro
[11:58] <niekie> xazo: there's Qemu, KVM, and more.
[11:59] <niekie> VMware too.
[11:59] <unperson> Root was on /dev/md0, and at boot it seems to hang for a bit and then kicks me out  into a busybox shell at the initramfs prompt with the message:  "check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules,  devices /proc/modules ls /dev ALERT! /dev/md0 does not exist.

[11:59] <RedMercury> any ideas? :|
[11:59] <ikonia> unperson boot of the livecd and do an mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --check
[11:59] <kynes> ikonia, Chousuke : I'm saying this is Ubuntu-based
[11:59] <ikonia> kynes its not ubuntu - therefore its built/pacakges differently
[11:59] <xazo> in general, what is the better VM server? VMware, Qemu, KVM, ...?
[12:00] <ikonia> I'm aware of mint
[12:00] <ikonia> xazo personal opinion - pick one, try it
[12:00] <Chousuke> kynes: but it's not ubuntu.
[12:00] <amidaniel> Does anyone perchance know of a way to prevent ubuntu from forcing an fsck of a volume after it's been mounted X number of times?
[12:00] <Chousuke> kynes: so unless you're aware of the potential problems, you shouldn't use it.
[12:00] <tarelerulz> the ubuntu and windows drive is the master . I boot from my small drive before  then I took it ,but I thought I set up the ubuntu/windows drive as boot drive in case I did this
[12:00] <ikonia> amidaniel tunefs
[12:00] <amidaniel> I'd much rather it just give me really angry messages than force this check at inopportune times :)
[12:00] <unperson> ikonia:  Can I do that from the busybox shell?
[12:00] <xazo> Thanks.
[12:00] <ikonia> unperson no - thats why I said use the livecd
[12:01] <bascule> amidaniel: in /etc/fstab set it to 0 0 instead of 1 0 or 0 1 whatever it is now, it s 0 0 you want as the last wto chars
[12:01] <amidaniel> bascule: Aha, thank you :)
[12:01] <xazo> what application in Ubuntu allows you to manager RAID controller?
[12:01] <bzwingzero> So, does anyone know if it is possible to set the default alignment of desktop icons to the right similar to how it is in OSX? Using vanilla ubuntu (gnome)
[12:01] <Turbo1> Ok i just wanted to know if i have a hd with xp on it and i just installed virtualbox and i wanted to know if i can connect to my xp drive with it and if yes, how do i do this?
[12:01] <ikonia> xazo depends on the raid controller, most are configure through an onboard bios
[12:01] <mico> niekie the box that has the modem connected to it.    If the network card is connected at the same time that the modem, net doesnt work.  If I put the network card in the down state and connect the net thru modem it work's
[12:01] <xazo> adaptec raid controller card
[12:02] <ikonia> xazo its normally done at boot time
[12:02] <xazo> What is this Xen I see, at times. Is this a virtual server?
[12:02] <ikonia> through the card bios
[12:02] <unperson> ikonia:  Ok, I'll dig around for my edgy CD (obviously don't have one for feisty) or else use Knoppix.
[12:04] <Turbo1> Can anyone answer my question in here
[12:04] <tarelerulz> I thought one you set up a drive as the one booted from and put it as most on the cord  it was all good . even if you booted from a other drive
[12:04] <gnewsensical> anything to take care of regarding security, if using bittorrent to download linux iso's say from http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/ and http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ ?
