[12:03] <BMT> hello to all
[12:03] <BMT> need some help
[12:04] <neverblue2> Pelo, was a good idea though :)
[12:04] <kazol_> When I run compiz-fusion "compiz --replace" the animations work but the computer is so slow that it's impossible to use-I had to restart X. Any suggestions?
[12:04] <Pelo> neverblue2 you can remove the menu bar and use the main menu icon instead  , more of an all in one button
[12:04] <BMT> i have a few mixes that i want to put on CD
[12:04] <BMT> is there a linux program that can "cut" the mix in separate tracks when i burn the mix to CD
[12:04] <BMT>  ?
[12:04] <[nrx] > !enter > BMT
[12:04] <unperson> Ok.  Here's a simpler question.  Does anyone know how to switch the number of workspaces in compiz?
[12:04] <neverblue2> thanks for trying Pelo :)
[12:05] <Pelo> neverblue2, I'm not done yet
[12:05] <neverblue2> :D
[12:05] <scalawag> unperson -> in compizconfig settings manager
[12:06] <scalawag> under "General Options" - > Third tab "Desktop Size"
[12:06] <unperson> scalawag, Eh?  Sorry, where is that?  I'm not aware of such a thing.
[12:06] <BMT> is there a linux program that can cut a "mix" into separate tracks when i burn it to CD ?
[12:06] <scalawag> in terminal type ccsm
[12:06] <Jowi> BMT, let me see if I understand you correctly. you have one wav/mp3/ogg/flac file that is the whole mix. you want to burn it to a cd and divide it into tracks=
[12:06] <numz> fuck
[12:06] <PriceChild> !ohmy | numz
[12:06] <BMT> yes Jowi
[12:06] <ubotu> numz: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:06] <unperson> scalawag, I may be doing things "old school" based on when I tried compiz in edgy, when you had to just use gconf-editor.
[12:06] <SeveredCross> You could probably use audacity BMT.
[12:06] <numz> !ohmy
[12:07] <Jowi> BMT, not that I know of. you better cut the mix up yourself using audacity or similar program
[12:07] <BMT> i installed audacity today i didn't see where on that program i could do that
[12:07] <numz> !ohmy > BMT
[12:07] <scalawag> Ahhhh...no idea in gconf-editor...
[12:07] <scalawag> do you have ccsm installed?
[12:07] <attunix> Anyone know of a Wubi-like program for OS X?
[12:07] <Pelo> neverblue2, ok, I'm done now, I give up
[12:07] <Dr_willis_> thats a scary thought attunix  :)
[12:07] <neverblue2> Pelo, ill tell you how I did it in a min ;)
[12:07] <stmkhg> hey
[12:07] <BMT> your bot said i was using bad language ..where did i do that at ?
[12:08] <OscarM> i want to change the language to spanish??????????
[12:08] <Jowi> BMT, in audacity you basicly load the full file, then cut it up and save the individual cuts as separate files.
[12:08] <Pelo> OscarM,  menu > system > prefs > language support
[12:08] <Pici> BMT: Someone abusing the bots triggers, thats all.
[12:08] <unperson> scalawag, ccsm exists in Feisty?  'which ccsm' and 'apt-cache search ccsm' both turn up nothing.
[12:08] <jrib> OscarM: on your ubuntu or in the channel?
[12:08] <[nrx] > !botabuse
[12:08] <scalawag> hmmmm....
[12:08] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[12:08] <ianm_> BMT: you know, ending a sentence with a preposition
[12:08] <ismael_> OscarM: ubuntu-es
[12:08] <attunix> anyone know of anything like Wubi for OS X?
[12:08] <OscarM> not, in there
[12:08] <Jowi> BMT, never mind the bot. it was not you abusing
[12:08] <BMT> but when i burn those tracks to CD after using audacity there will still be a two second silence between tracks and i don't want that
[12:09] <Pelo> attunix, no we don'T sorry you'll have to get the cd
[12:09] <unperson> scalawag, Sorry, didn't see you question.  AFAIK I don't have it nor do I know where to get it.
[12:09] <lnx_> i can send file in icq with kopete ?
[12:09] <Jowi> OscarM, /join #ubuntu-es
[12:09] <OscarM> #ubuntu-es
[12:09] <sebastian> hey guys ... you know when you use "Connect to server", is there a path in the filesystem that one can use to access the same server?
[12:09] <Pelo> OscarM, escribar  /join #ubuntu-es
[12:09] <Dr_willis_> sebastian,  you mean in the irc client?
[12:09] <Jowi> OscarM, you need to put "/join #ubuntu-es"
[12:09] <spyteman> hey is anyone experienced with quake 3 (or quake 3 engine games) and the console? I want to use a key that supports toggling it down, and then toggle it up again when in console! but my current keys all dont work anymore once i'm in console.. some dead keys issue?
[12:09] <unperson> scalawag, I figured out the answer to my question, wrt to gconf.
[12:09] <neverblue2> how can you refresh a panel ?
[12:09] <sebastian> Dr_willis_: no i mean in ubuntu ...
[12:09] <scalawag> good deal...
[12:09] <Pici> sebastian: huh? I'm not sure what you mean.
[12:09] <BernieMac> my ubuntu freezes on reboot if I have my wireless card on(laptop). If I turn it on after reboot or shut the card off before reboot I have no problems. Suggestions?
[12:09] <Pelo> neverblue, killall -9 gnome-panel
[12:09] <unperson> scalawag, But I'll check into this ccsm, as a more user-friendly settings interface would be nice.
[12:10] <scalawag> unperson, if you want it, just apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[12:10] <unperson> scalawag, Thanks.
[12:10] <neverblue2> Pelo :O
[12:10] <scalawag> it's quite friendly
[12:10] <scalawag> ...usually
[12:10] <scalawag> :)
[12:10] <stmkhg> i want to chage the language of opne office to french can i find help
[12:10] <neverblue2> thats not a refresh :)
[12:10] <supernerd> spyteman: look for a config file in .quake3
[12:10] <jrib> sebastian: let me know if you figure that one out, I wish for the same thing
[12:10] <Pelo> BernieMac, look it up in the forum something like that is bound to be mentionned
[12:10] <Pelo> neverblue, no it restarts it
[12:10] <unperson> scalawag, Heh.  Well, It's hard to be less friendly than gconf, which is a needle in a haystack.
[12:10] <sebastian> Pici: you know when you go to Places and then Connect to server (that's in gnome) ... it creates a shortcut on your desktop that you can use to access the server but I want a dir in the filesystem
[12:10] <tato> fuck
[12:10] <Pici> !ohmy | tato
[12:10] <ubotu> tato: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:10] <neverblue2> !language | tato
[12:10] <spyteman> supernerd and what should i look for? i tried MODE, WINDOWS, MENU key aswell as F1 etc.
[12:10] <scalawag> lol, you got that right
[12:11] <sebastian> jrib: sure
[12:11] <attunix> !language|tato
[12:11] <tato> fuck me
[12:11] <[nrx] > shutup

[12:11] <neverblue2> later :)
[12:11] <Jowi> BMT, there are ways to skip the 2 second lag. for example "graveman" cd burner has an option in "audio cd". there's a checkbox for "no pause between each track (DAO mode)"
[12:11] <BMT> how can i put my "home" folder icon back on my desk top
[12:11] <jrib> !icons > BMT (see the private message from ubotu)
[12:11] <BernieMac> Pelo: will do, thought I'd check here and see if anyone had the problem and could offer up a quick fix
[12:11] <BMT> thanks jowi
[12:11] <Pelo> BMT,  gconf-editor   /app/nautilus/desktop , there is a box to check
[12:11] <unperson> scalawag, It turns out that the setting for more workspaces is compiz->general->screen0->options->hsize.  Not exactly obvious.
[12:12] <Pici> sebastian: As far as I know, it won't really mount it.  I'd love to have that feature, but I dont think it exists yet.
[12:12] <scalawag> lol, I'd still be looking
[12:12] <Jowi> BMT, graveman is the burner app i use, I bet other burners have similar options for DAO (Disk At Once)
[12:12] <BMT> what is gconf-editor ?
[12:12] <Jowi> BMT, no probs
[12:12] <Pici> !icons | BMT
[12:12] <ubotu> BMT: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)
[12:12] <zOap> how do you turn off update-notifier? so it won't load at startup?
[12:12] <BMT> what is nautilus
[12:12] <spyteman> somehow my amarok wont stop crashing... when i try to play an mp3 it just crashes
[12:13] <Pelo> BMT,  open a terminal and type gconf-editor , it's a regedit like  db for gnome settings
[12:13] <linuxftw> !games
[12:13] <spyteman> mp3 playback works fine in exaile tho
[12:13] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[12:13] <QuiksilverKev> hey guys
[12:13] <jrib> BMT: the file browser
[12:13] <Jowi> BMT, nautilus is the default file manager for gnome
[12:13] <BMT> ok thanks pelo
[12:13] <sebastian> Pici: oh ok ... that's a shame
[12:13] <QuiksilverKev> Is there someone here that can help a n00b out with a problem?
[12:13] <Poul|Raider> i get "no mixer avalible" when pressing setup in ventrilo.  the sound works tho
[12:13] <Dr_willis_> and the problem is?
[12:13] <Pelo> QuiksilverKev,  only if you tell us the problem
[12:13] <jrib> z0rz: system -> preferences -> session  startup
[12:13] <spyteman> is anyone using a touchpad with additional keys to mousekeys (like cursor keys)? i got an acer notebook but somehow i cant get them to work like i want to, gsynaptics doesnt work at all!
[12:13] <QuiksilverKev> Ok... its an Acer Aspire 5050 laptop, with a Broadcom WLAN Airforce card in it
[12:13] <zOap> jrib, that was for me?
[12:14] <QuiksilverKev> But.. i cant get it to work
[12:14] <Pelo> Poul|Raider, maybe you should look around for a ventrilo channel or check the ventrillo site for a faq or a forum
[12:14] <jrib> zOap: erm, yeah
[12:14] <QuiksilverKev> ubuntu seems to recognise it, but, the switch on the front of the laptop seems to be dead
[12:14] <neverblue2> trying to both make a panel 'not able to be deleted' and I am trying to edit it more (I want to get rid of Places and System), how can I do so ?
[12:14] <QuiksilverKev> so i cant switch it on
[12:14] <ffm> how do I install a kernal modual?
[12:14] <neverblue2> Pelo, what I found didnt work
[12:14] <BMT> ok on configuration editor i see apps, desktop, schemas, and system
[12:14] <Pelo> QuiksilverKev, check here to see if there is specific info on the card  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[12:14] <BMT> all i want to do is put the "home" folder icon on my desktop
[12:14] <Pelo> neverblue2, I'm sure it can be done,  maybe give #gnome a try
[12:15] <jrib> BMT: go to the key that ubotu told you about
[12:15] <neverblue2> Pelo, /whois neverblue2
[12:15] <BernieMac> what is the hardware scan terminal command?
[12:15] <neverblue2> :)
[12:15] <QuiksilverKev> ok thanks Pelo ill check
[12:15] <jrib> BernieMac: lshw
[12:15] <Pici> BernieMac: sudo lshw
[12:15] <BernieMac> thanks
[12:15] <Pelo> BMT,  in   app/nautilus/desktop
[12:15] <neverblue2> jrib knows, he just wont tell me :)
[12:15] <epiclulz> what's a good software for video editing
[12:15] <Poul|Raider> pelo havent found any, and i dont think its a ventrilo problem.
[12:15] <jrib> epiclulz: pitivi, kino
[12:15] <zOap> jrib, thats for gnome right? I use xfce and the Session and startup does not contain anything like that..
[12:15] <JeevesMoss> what is the easiest pop3 and smtp server to setup for vhosts?
[12:16] <jrib> zOap: yes, for gnome.  Not sure about xfce
[12:16] <JeevesMoss> what is the easiest pop3 and smtp server to setup for vhosts?
[12:16] <jonnymac> package libdvdcss2 is not available but is referred to by another package/ has no installation candidate
[12:16] <Seveas> JeevesMoss, pop3: dovecot or courier, smtp: postfix
[12:16] <bruenig> z0rz, xfce4-autostart-editor
[12:16] <QuiksilverKev> Pelo : is that site working for you? Its seeming to be a bit dead here on the wireless card section.
[12:16] <BMT> once i pick what i want on the desktop do i just exit ...or is there a "save" feature
[12:16] <Jowi> epiclulz, depends on your needs. "devede" is very simple but lacks some features.
[12:16] <BMT> i didn't see one
[12:16] <deus> OK! what packages of that god damn module do i need (nvidia-kernel-modules)
[12:16] <zOap> bruenig, thanks
[12:16] <jonnymac> so how am I supposed to watch dvd's
[12:16] <QuiksilverKev> pass - its working now.
[12:16] <Pelo> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[12:16] <jrib> BMT: you just exit once you get it the way you want
[12:16] <JeevesMoss> seveas:  thanks
[12:16] <BMT> and when i exit....the icons did not show up on my desktop
[12:16] <Ray_at_UW> !sound
[12:16] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[12:19] <astate> I'm running a lamp server locally in vmware, so I'm not worried about security...but basically I want to know if there is a command I can execute (after sudo -s) that will make all of my changes seem like its coming from the user www-data so I don't have to be constantly chown'ing things
[12:19] <jonnymac> I'm about to begin crying:'(

[12:20] <jonnymac> I did
[12:20] <Ray_at_UW> Linux is hard when it takes 3 hours to set up a video card. >.> In windows it's kinda easy.
[12:20] <linuxftw> How can I get my nvidia graphics driver to use SLI?
[12:20] <bruenig> Ray_at_UW, takes less than 2 min to setup a video card
[12:20] <NemesisD> hi all, running dual monitors with twinview, how do i set up another panel applet that shows only the windows on that screen?
[12:20] <Ray_at_UW> bruenig: I mean for idiots like me. :P
[12:20] <lnx_> Jowi , i CAN see these movies in my computer only when i need to see them in firefox there is problem
[12:21] <bruenig> Ray_at_UW, of course doing something you don't know how to do will take time and seem hard
[12:22] <Ray_at_UW> bruenig: I suppose it's the lack of pretty gui walkthrough boxes and executable that you can download and double click to install your drivers to get maximum resolution like you can in windows.
[12:22] <Ray_at_UW> bruenig: No fault of linux developers of course.
[12:22] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: 3 hours?
[12:22] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: what do you have
[12:22] <NemesisD> erm let me rephrase, how do i create a second panel applet?
[12:23] <Ray_at_UW> blank: I installed an Nvidia GX 5200FX
[12:23] <BlankDenim> nemesisD: just right click on an already existing one I think, then click new panel?
[12:23] <neverblue2> trying to both make a panel 'not able to be deleted' and I am trying to edit it more (I want to get rid of Places and System), how can I do so ?
[12:23] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: you should've just went to System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager
[12:23] <kbrooks> neverblue2:
[12:23] <Ray_at_UW> Blank: I did, it dropped me to 640x480
[12:23] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: it then should've downloaded and installed automatically, extremely easy
[12:23] <NemesisD> BlankDenim, but i need the 2nd one to be on my 2nd monitor, it just makes another window list on my first one
[12:23] <neverblue2> yes kbrooks ?
[12:23] <gil_> hi i am gil fernando from mexico
[12:23] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: and you did what, after that?
[12:23] <jrib> gil_: welcome
[12:23] <BlankDenim> NemesisD: And you can't drag it to the second one?
[12:24] <Ray_at_UW> blank: I came on here, asked for help, tried the command that the bot suggested to restart the x server, but that caused my computer to hang for about 10 minutes.
[12:24] <BlankDenim> gil_: hola, si necesitas ayuda en espanol, visita #ubuntu-es
[12:24] <gil_> somebody can explaine me  how to installs software? stap by step?
[12:24] <Jowi> lnx_, I don't understand the problem. if you click on a link with a wmv do you get "open with" and you chose totem or you get a helper application that opens the file?
[12:24] <jrib> !software > gil_ (see the private message from ubotu)
[12:24] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: afterwards?
[12:24] <bruenig> Ray_at_UW, I have never set up a driver in windows but I can say in windows, there are basically two steps, getting the module in the tree, and setting up the box to load the module at boot, which is fairly straight forward when you think about it. Abstraction (gui) is what causes this baffling misunderstanding of how things work.
[12:24] <bruenig> in linux*
[12:24] <Ray_at_UW> Blank: So then I went onto the docs, and went through the steps, tried the auto-detect first... then I went googling for my hori and vert for my monitor.
[12:24] <jonnymac> it says Open  System->Administration->Software Properties  but I ain't got no software properties, I got software sources but nuffink else and nothing in there cirresponds
[12:24] <Wolphie> Ffs
[12:24] <kbrooks> neverblue2, nm
[12:24] <NemesisD> BlankDenim, oh wait my bad i think i might have it now
[12:24] <gota1> hi. Pop quiz question that an ubuntu forums/launchpad search search did not turn up
[12:24] <gota1> essentially this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/22336
[12:24] <gil_> with scrips
[12:25] <Wolphie> Can somebody PM me if they can help me setup my webserver please
[12:25] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: you should've simply edited xorg.conf, but yeah, first time around takes a while, second time around it'll be fast, it's natural
[12:25] <Ray_at_UW> Blank, Bruenig: I understand how it works now. The lack of gui was really what made it tough. And hasseling with VI.
[12:25] <slimjimflim> anybody know how to edit site-available and/or sites-enabled to host 2 websites on 1 ip in apache2?
[12:25] <ikonia> Wolphie what part ar eyou not clear in ?
[12:25] <neverblue2> Wolphie, try in #apache
[12:25] <Wolphie> It's not apache i'm struggling with
[12:25] <Wolphie> It's setting permissions for proftdp
[12:25] <Wolphie> proftpd*
[12:25] <neverblue2> then #proftpd
[12:25] <bruenig> Ray_at_UW, but if you understand those things why would a gui be necessary or abstraction at all really, just drop the file into the tree, edit a config file and you are off
[12:25] <gota1> my latop reported, when i tried a LiveCD that my CPU temperature was 102degrees c and powered the thing down.... anyone else here have a 64bit acer?
[12:25] <lnx_> Jowi , no i get "conntect to" in firefox and black firefox page liek its gona start in the browser and it simply doesnt start , i want to open it internal not in external player . . .
[12:25] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: this might sound stupid, but you did try to change the resolution from the menu right?
[12:25] <Ray_at_UW> Blank: Yeah, only gave me the 640x480 option.
[12:26] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: oh okay, that most likely is a bug that hopefully will be fixed
[12:26] <Ray_at_UW> Blank: The odd thing is, it detected my monitor's refresh at 50 when it was supposed to be 75.
[12:26] <neverblue2> trying to both make a panel 'not able to be deleted' and I am trying to edit it more (I want to get rid of Places and System), how can I do so ?
[12:26] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: do your drivers work now?
[12:26] <Jowi> lnx_, the only internal player I know of is mozilla-mplayer ( a plugin for firefox to play movies ). other than that, does other wmv links work ok?
[12:26] <unperson> Ok, so one more question.  I thought there used to be a way to adjust how far out the viewpoint zooms from the cube when switching desktops with rotate.  Is this still possible and, if so, how?
[12:26] <Ray_at_UW> Blank: So I googled and found the proper vertrefresh and horisync... and then modified the xorg.conf, and made a backup in case it breaks.
[12:27] <gota1> Windows runs fine though...
[12:27] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: next time you can try the envy scripts I guess, for example Restricted Drivers Manager doesn't work for me with my 8600 GT
[12:27] <Ray_at_UW> Blank: Yeah. :) After hassling with it, I've gotten it working. I feel accomplished.
[12:27] <jonnymac> What am I supposed to be using if I can use libdvdcss2
[12:27] <BlankDenim> !envy | Ray_at_UW
[12:27] <ubotu> Ray_at_UW: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[12:27] <jonnymac> if I can't
[12:27] <Wolphie> Gah, nobodies active in there
[12:27] <Bjornalf> neverblue: you can lock stuff on the panels by right clicking and choosing lock to panel for each one.. you can't get rid of only places and system as they're one panel app with applications
[12:27] <BlankDenim> Guess you shouldn't use it anymore haha
[12:27] <gil_> some body talk spanish
[12:27] <bruenig> wow never seen someone use !envy in hopes of persuading someone and get told off like BlankDenim
[12:27] <BlankDenim> gil_: ya te dije, si necesitas ayuda en espanol, visita #ubuntu-es
[12:28] <BlankDenim> gil_: escrive "/join #ubuntu-es"
[12:28] <bruenig> usually it is someone trying to tell people not to use it
[12:28] <jonnymac> well if by active you mean as helpless as a half-drowned kitten with the funny baby smell of diarrhoea - well gosh darnit I s'pose that's me
[12:28] <QuiksilverKev> Hmm
[12:28] <BlankDenim> bruenig: I've never used it
[12:28] <QuiksilverKev> I cant find out which broadcom card i have
[12:28] <Ray_at_UW> Now I need to figure out how to get my Plantroics DSP-500 working.
[12:28] <Wolphie> LOL
[12:28] <BlankDenim> bruenig: and I've heard people talking about it, for example that's a last resort for some people
[12:28] <Ray_at_UW> I kind of like having sound...
[12:28] <Jowi> jonnymac, install "libdvdread3" then run "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh"
[12:28] <jonnymac> I have already installed libdvdread3
[12:28] <ninjabooty> I get an error when booting feisty with "start or install"
[12:28] <bruenig> BlankDenim, yeah those some people are sad individuals, not sure why they own computers really
[12:29] <Aethelred> I'm having a program die from having too many files open. How do I change this limit?
[12:29] <jonnymac> I am installing all the packages that my dear friend help was telling me to
[12:29] <Jowi> jonnymac, yes, but you need decss. after that at least mplayer should play your dvd.
[12:29] <ninjabooty> amd64 on Core2 Duo 6300 with ATI x700
[12:29] <BlankDenim> bruenig: what's your problem? I have an 8600 GT, Restricted Drivers Manager doesn't have drivers for the 8 series, what else are they left to do?
[12:29] <Sajes> I can't have sound atm, I've got an X-Fi Xtreme Gamer sound card, which ALSA doesn't support.
[12:29] <jonnymac> just decss?
[12:29] <neverblue2> Bjornalf, I seen your reply, could you read the question again, and see if its something that can be done ?
[12:29] <BlankDenim> I installed the official ones from their site, but John Doe might not be as smart
[12:29] <BlankDenim> They hear talk of envy, and try it
[12:29] <bruenig> BlankDenim, there is a website called nvidia.com, from there, well there are instructions
[12:30] <BlankDenim> bruenig: Whatever
[12:30] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: first time of configuring everything will take a while, but if you take the time to learn what you're doing while configuring, the subsequent times will be a breeze
[12:30] <Sajes> BlankDenim: If it didn't say it would wreck my system, I would've tried it.
[12:30] <ninjabooty> my monitor goes into 'power save" mode
[12:30] <Ray_at_UW> So... does anyone have suggestions about how to get my DSP-500 plantronics headset working?
[12:30] <jonnymac> decss doesn't exist when I search synaptic manager either
[12:30] <Stormx2> Can anyone suggest a nice out-of-the-box wireless card to purchase?
[12:31] <Ray_at_UW> I've done a little bit of googling, but most of it is inconclusive. Actually, that's how my config got messed up in the first place, trying to install the DSP-500.
[12:31] <neverblue2> Bjoern-Erik, by default, a Menu Bar is used, but if I use Main Menu, I am still not able to get Places/System out of the menu
[12:31] <ninjabooty> it doesn't work in "safe graphics mode" either
[12:31] <Stormx2> !css | jonnymac
[12:31] <ubotu> jonnymac: 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
[12:31] <neverblue2> Ray_at_UW, what are you trying to get it run in?
[12:31] <Sajes> Ray_at_UW: Try throwing it against the wall, unplugging it, snapping the cord, then reconnecting the cord and plugging it back in to see if it works.
[12:31] <zith_> is there a specific ubuntu installcd i should get to get my unknown broadcast wifi card working?
[12:31] <BlankDenim> Sajes: What's all your guys' problems? I'm not telling anyone to try it. It was the same deal with Automatix, when it first came out, everyone was hyped up about it, now everyone knows it can ruin installations. Say you were around when Automatix was 'good', then you come back and suggest it to a person in need of help, and you get bashed not knowing that Automatix is now 'bad', that's my situation with Envy, so lay off
[12:31] <Ray_at_UW> Neverblue: I guess xmms. So I can listen to my music.
[12:31] <neverblue2> Bjornalf, I mean that for u
[12:31] <Ray_at_UW> Sajes: You know, I've thrown this thing against the wall tons of times, it still works in windows. :P
[12:32] <jonnymac> I've read that thing and I'll read it once more if you're convinced it's there -One day I'm going to get great satisfaction of !'ing someone else
[12:32] <neverblue2> Ray_at_UW, works in windows is an insulting comment
[12:32] <emmc> t
[12:32] <Ray_at_UW> neverblue: Sajes was being mean, he deserved it.
[12:32] <Sajes> BlankDenim: I have no problem.. I was just suggesting that I would've done it.. what's your problem?
[12:32] <BlankDenim> neverblue2: True nonetheless, the truth hurts
[12:32] <neverblue2> Ray_at_UW, if you would like assistance, I can help, I use those all day long
[12:32] <Bjornalf> neverblue2: ahh ok right click on the apps/places/system menu, unckeck lock to panel then you should be able to remove it
[12:32] <WooD> Hi guys.. I have Ubuntu server and have configured a pppoeconf on startup. But now I want to remove that pppoe starting automaticaly on boot any suggestion ?
[12:33] <neverblue2> Bjornalf, its not that easy, im sorry to say
[12:33] <BlankDenim> Sajes: my problem is that everyone seems to have a problem with me for suggesting someone with no other option, to use Envy, when I didn't know that Envy was now considered 'bad'
[12:33] <Sajes> Ray_at_UW: How was I being mean?
[12:33] <Ray_at_UW> Neverblue: Well, do you have any suggestions in terms of modifying my config file so my system can work with it? I can give you a pastebin if my xorg.conf if it will help.
[12:33] <gota1> neverblue2: works in windows should be seen as a challange not an insult
[12:33] <Ray_at_UW> Sajes: You were being sarcastic!
[12:33] <BlankDenim> gota1: exactly
[12:33] <Sajes> Just because you guys misinterpret my comments doesn't mean I'm trying to be mean.
[12:33] <ninjabooty> I think its some kind of kernel panic
[12:33] <neverblue2> !offtopic
[12:33] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:33] <Bjornalf> neverblue2: umm kinda odd.. i can do that with no problem...
[12:33] <Jowi> jonnymac, read what I said once more about libdvdread3
[12:33] <Sajes> Ray_at_UW: I was typing a joke.
[12:33] <bruenig> except windows supports far less hardware than linux does
[12:33] <ninjabooty> because i386 version works fine
[12:33] <neverblue2> Bjornalf, im sure you can do what you think, but its not what I am asking
[12:34] <Jowi> jonnymac, it will install decss2 for you.
[12:34] <ninjabooty> windows supports far less hardware? are you talking about booting from a raid controller or what?
[12:34] <Jowi> now I need to sleep. good night all
[12:34] <ninjabooty> where's all the boot floppies at?
[12:34] <ninjabooty> booyah!
[12:34] <Ray_at_UW> Sajes: Okay. :) I apologize for my incompetence.
[12:34] <gota1> look windows is windows linux is linux, and ubuntu is ubuntu... i have a linux problem installing ubuntu, do any of you guys have acer laptops?
[12:35] <Jowi> ninjabooty, floppies? that's a word I don't miss :)
[12:35] <pillowpants> When I just closed a full screen game, my resolution shrank
[12:35] <ninjabooty> ever buy a motherboard with an onboard raid controller?
[12:35] <Ray_at_UW> Neverblue: Here's my xorg.conf:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37457/ I guess I should get my system to know the headset is plugged in first right?...
[12:35] <pillowpants> and its not fixing back
[12:35] <pillowpants> what should i do?
[12:35] <Ray_at_UW> pillow: try pressing control-alt-backspace
[12:35] <ninjabooty> they still give out floppies for NT kernel support for when you want to install to a RAID
[12:35] <Ray_at_UW> pillow: restarts your desktop.
[12:35] <pillowpants> nah, i have stuff open i cant close
[12:36] <pillowpants> there was a command i put into the console a while back
[12:36] <pillowpants> does anyone know it?
[12:36] <seraph34> um... k... I need some help with my crazy xorg.conf file... it's blank... completely
[12:36] <pillowpants> it resets x
[12:36] <neverblue2> Ray_at_UW, Xorg has nothing to do with your headset, hold on a minute, thanks
[12:36] <SpudDogg> Anyone ever try running Ubuntu on like an old school Tandy?

[12:37] <bruenig> ninjabooty, it supports more processor architectures more everything than windows does in terms of hardware is what I meant, read up
[12:37] <NemesisD> generally how safe is ntfs-config considered for ntfs read/write?
[12:37] <gota1> X also has ctrl alt + and ctrl alt - for switching between the different X resolutions is has been configured with
[12:37] <jonnymac> dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[12:38] <NemesisD> jonnymac, do you have synaptic or apt running?
[12:38] <bruenig> NemesisD, ntfs-config is a front end, if you can do without, it is generally best to do so
[12:38] <SpudDogg> neverblue: what does addquote do?
[12:38] <jonnymac> aaah...
[12:38] <pillowpants> !reso
[12:38] <NemesisD> bruenig, whatever it uses for a backend, is that considered safe for read/write?

[12:38] <neverblue2> Bjornalf (original question) --> trying to both make a panel 'not able to be deleted' and I am trying to edit it more (I want to get rid of Places and System), how can I do so ?
[12:39] <BernieMac> if I leave my wireless enabled and reboot I freeze during the ubuntu boot screen. Have searched the forum and couldn't really find any posts with this same issue. Anyone know what the problem could be?
[12:39] <bruenig> NemesisD, what do you mean, ntfs-config just edits text files, the drivers come separate from it and aren't really dealt with ntfs-config

[12:39] <b33r> Hello I just installed ubuntu 64bit version and install went good but when I restarted I couldn't boot through hard drive, I get an error "unable to boot from media" I think my MBR is messed or something, any advice?
[12:40] <BernieMac> fredthedog: I believe if you are just running from the live cd your changes are lost on reboot. Someone may know something more but that is my understanding
[12:40] <bruenig> NemesisD, yes
[12:40] <fredthedog> reinstall b33r
[12:40] <gota1> b33r what kind of machine?

[12:42] <neverblue2> signaltap2, apropos monitor
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> linuxftw edit the xorg.conf, or use the nvidia-xconfig tool, or theres some other nvidia tool also. (try nvidia<tab> in a shell)
[12:42] <ErUpTiON> Hey, Guys, after installing ubuntu the latest version,,, the computer did nothing it even didn't ask me to restart the system, and when i manually restarted it,the computer said no system is installed

[12:43] <signaltap2> i want to see my oveclocked computer stats

[12:46] <neverblue2> Audio I/O plugins

[12:48] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: no problem, if there are any errors, then it could be that you downloaded it wrong (As in, during the download of the image, something was wrong) or the burn was wrong, all in all you have a faulty disk, in which case I suggest you re-download the ISO/disk image, and re-burn it
[12:48] <Ray_at_UW> neverblue: That's bad! It hurts me ears.
[12:48] <hell-boy> how i can set my network card speed

[12:48] <Ray_at_UW> neverblue: You're evil! You can turn it down!
[12:49] <neverblue2> doh!
[12:49] <neverblue2> you found it
[12:49] <ErUpTiON> BlankDenim:  but after all how you found Ubuntu performance on VMware ?
[12:49] <Gizmo_the_Great> UrbenLegend,  I have a folder that I am trying to share using Samba. I have 'enabled sharing' of the folder. I have enabled my samba user account and set the samba password for my user account using smbpasswd. Every time I try to connect from another machine though it says 'Unable to connect to X Y Z. Permission is denied'.
[12:49] <Gizmo_the_Great> Sorry - meant to go to everyone - I have a folder that I am trying to share using Samba. I have 'enabled sharing' of the folder. I have enabled my samba user account and set the samba password for my user account using smbpasswd. Every time I try to connect from another machine though it says 'Unable to connect to X Y Z. Permission is denied'.
[12:50] <Ray_at_UW> Horray. :) Now everything is working, input and ouputs!
[12:50] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: It's great, of course don't expect it to run like a genuinely installed OS (i.e., don't expect to run crazy 3D games or anything 3D graphics intensive), other than that, it can give you a nice feel of the OS without having to risk installing it
[12:50] <neverblue2> nice :)
[12:50] <Ray_at_UW> Now I can go back to doing work instead of using worktime to set up my computer.
[12:50] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: but you can't judge Ubuntu all just by running it on VmWare, you can only get an idea of what it's like, but go for it
[12:50] <fredthedog> Another question when I use the guided partition what is it making? Just root and swap partitions? Also what is it giving me for a swap size?
[12:50] <ttyS1> any ideas on what I should do to troubleshoot the audio ?
[12:51] <Gizmo_the_Great> fredthedog, swap is usually twice the size of your RAM
[12:51] <marylou> !mint
[12:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mint - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:51] <marylou> !linuxmint
[12:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linuxmint - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:51] <ErUpTiON> BlankDenim: actually i was planning for that to install different versions of linux on Vmware and try each of them and You know that's a hard job on a real machine
[12:51] <jonnymac> if it says setting up libdvdcss2 ... and then goes back to waiting for a command does that mean it's done?
[12:51] <fredthedog> gizmo: that would be bad as that would be 5G
[12:51] <Gizmo_the_Great> fredddy, not bad if you have storage :-)
[12:51] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: Alright, that could be a good idea, I'm pretty sure you'll end up choosing ubuntu though
[12:52] <ninjabooty> ughm
[12:52] <ninjabooty> bug reports?
[12:52] <gosha> How do i do the like ... "windows repair connection"-thing in ubuntu?
[12:52] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: unless you mean different versions of ubuntu as in Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc., in which case there's no need, since the only difference is that they come installed with different programs, but in any one of those you can install any programs, if you know what I mean
[12:52] <BernieMac> how can I check the size of my swap partition?
[12:52] <ErUpTiON> BlankDenim: well i heard and i already read many articles suggesting ubuntu as the best Linux distribution
[12:52] <Wolphie> I need help with proftpd? Anybody?
[12:52] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: they aren't wrong :P
[12:52] <seraph34> !swap
[12:52] <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
[12:52] <SrPilha> hello folks
[12:52] <ErUpTiON> :)
[12:52] <Flannel> Gosha: You'll have to explain what you're trying to do.  We have no idea what windows "repair conenction" is.
[12:52] <Gizmo_the_Great> Gosha, 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart'
[12:52] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: I need to go now, I'll be back later
[12:52] <[DMC] > is there a mount option to mount by label like the fstab can?
[12:52] <Gizmo_the_Great> Gosha, will restart it all
[12:53] <ninjabooty> herro?
[12:53] <seraph34> !swap | BernieMac
[12:53] <Gosha> Okay, thanks
[12:53] <ubotu> BernieMac: please see above
[12:53] <OiPenguin> Cannot get D-Link DWL-610 wireless on 7.04 to work. Need advice or directions to a guide.
[12:53] <ErUpTiON> BlankDenim:  thanx for your kind help
[12:53] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: no problem
[12:53] <SrPilha> ppl, what's the terminal command to copy files?
[12:53] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: have fun
[12:53] <ninjabooty> X11 dies trying to boot amd64 feist
[12:53] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: cp
[12:53] <ninjabooty> feisty
[12:53] <SrPilha> cool
[12:53] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: cp thisfile therenamedfile
[12:53] <SrPilha> last one: what's the one to change authorisations?
[12:53] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: I mean, cp thisfile thisfile2
[12:53] <ninjabooty> s/ATI/vesa
[12:53] <ninjabooty> booyah!
[12:53] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: chown or chmod, either one
[12:53] <ninjabooty> :P
[12:54] <Pc_Dark> whats the command to see used disc space
[12:54] <SrPilha> BlankDenim, many thx
[12:54] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: I'm pretty sure it's chmod, chown is to change who owns a file
[12:54] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: no problem, brb
[12:54] <neverblue2>  trying to both make a panel 'not able to be deleted' and I am trying to edit it more (I want to get rid of Places and System), how can I do so ?
[12:54] <ninjabooty> is there an #ubuntu-dev-amd64?
[12:54] <bulmer> Pc_Dark:  df -h
[12:54] <BlankDenim> Pc_Dark: it's like df or something, not sure
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> Pc_Dark My fave is a script  i made -->  cat bin/ShowDisks
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> df -h -x tmpfs -x devpts -x usbfs

[12:54] <SrPilha> BlankDenim, with the names I can consult the manual :)
[12:54] <SrPilha> ok by
[12:54] <SrPilha> *bye
[12:54] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: although using them is pretty straightforward, cp is pretty much the example I gave you
[12:55] <ninjabooty> you can't do anything with xorg.conf when you can't boot from the install CD
[12:56] <jmak642> ok, so i'm about to try and load feisty onto a dell latitude d620, anyone tried this?
[12:56] <Esteth> is /dev/sda the same as the old /dev/hda?
[12:56] <bulmer> OiPenguin: what chips is in that card?
[12:56] <e> esteth: yes
[12:56] <Esteth> E: thanks
[12:56] <jmak642> already i can see from the livecd that i'm gonna need to sort out the wifi driver
[12:56] <ninjabooty> screw it
[12:56] <bulmer> Esteth: you can find out by listing /dev/sda if it is mapped to /dev/hda
[12:56] <ninjabooty> I'll just use i386 version of my Core2
[12:57] <Esteth> bulmer: How would i do that?
[12:57] <bulmer> Esteth ls -la /dev/sdaa
[12:57] <bulmer> Esteth ls -la /dev/sda
[12:57] <OiPenguin> bulmer: How do I find the answer to your question?
[12:58] <Esteth> bulmer: i get "brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 2007-09-12 18:10 /dev/sda"
[12:58] <bulmer> OiPenguin: google for that model of nic card
[12:58] <shaquille> can somebody help me with a regex problem i have? I just need to know what's the regular expression equivalent of *rar as in any number of any characters ending in the rar suffix
[12:58] <bulmer> Esteth ls -la /dev/hda
[12:58] <neverblue2> shaquille, that would be it, *.rar
[12:58] <Esteth> bulmer: No such file or directory
[12:58] <bulmer> shaquille: ending is   rar$
[12:59] <bulmer> Esteth ls -la /dev/hda*
[12:59] <BernieMac> how can I check the size of my swap partition?
[12:59] <Esteth> bulmer: /dev/hda*: no such file or directory
[01:00] <bulmer> Esteth: then you dont have /dev/hda
[01:00] <Esteth> so i can safely assume that /dev/sda is what was /dev/hda pre-feisty
[01:00] <shaquille> then I don't get why that's not working, I'm trying to filter filenames within KLibido using the regular expression filter to only show files that end in .rar, but either nothing shows up or it gives me an invalid expression error
[01:00] <rafaelscj> BernieMac, system _ admin > system monitor

[01:01] <dave_mc> has anyone ever successfully installed xubuntu on an older toshiba laptop before can help me?
[01:01] <norcalscubadiver> hey all. i am having a problem writing a dvd.iso to a dvd-/+R.  i think my command is messed up, can someone who knows better than me help me out please. thanks
[01:01] <no_gatez_fan> I am on 6.06....how can I stopx
[01:01] <bruenig> dave_mc, that's pretty narrow, might be a better idea to just ask your question
[01:01] <bulmer> OiPenguin: did you find out which chip it uses?
[01:02] <Wolphie> Hi, i need help with proftpd
[01:02] <BernieMac> rafaelscj: thanks, it says that I'm using 0 of 376.5MB, does that actually mean that I have only 365.5mb in my swap partition??
[01:02] <dave_mc> ok i am unable to install xubuntu on my laptop from either the livecd or the alternate install method
[01:02] <dave_mc> how can i install xubuntu
[01:02] <BernieMac> 376.5*
[01:02] <rafaelscj> BernieMac, yes
[01:02] <[DMC] > how do you dynamically mount multiple USB disks to specific mount points? like USB drives that a unplugged a lot.
[01:02] <bruenig> norcalscubadiver, growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/whatever=dvd.iso
[01:03] <bulmer> OiPenguin: also try  lspci
[01:03] <BernieMac> rafaelscj: thats outrageously small isn't it? I did the auto install so ubuntu chose the size
[01:03] <norcalscubadiver> bruenig. thanks will try that one
[01:03] <rafaelscj> BernieMac, how much RAM do you have?
[01:03] <jonnymac> can somebody please, for the love of heaven tell me what a demuxer is
[01:03] <kyja> why is it that sipie does not work? lots of errors.
[01:04] <lnx_> what in linux is most like nero 7 ?
[01:04] <BernieMac> rafaelscj, 1 gig
[01:04] <kyja> I want my sirius
[01:04] <vader1102> dave_mc, I used to have to type on noapic noalpc noacpi acpi=off before booting a live cd or installing linux
[01:04] <bruenig> jonnymac, demulitplexer?
[01:04] <jonnymac> I've installed all the packages, in the process learnt how to use apt
[01:04] <norcalscubadiver> lnx_: K3B  i believe
[01:04] <jonnymac> and still the dvd won't work
[01:04] <OiPenguin> bulmer: No, however it looks like I've found a solution here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=11277
[01:04] <rafaelscj> BernieMac, 376,5 is more then enough
[01:04] <dave_mc> jeez vader thats basicly disabline the PC
[01:04] <bruenig> jonnymac, separating different streams and such
[01:04] <[DMC] > johnnymac, http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/pwg/html/chapter-other-oneton.html
[01:05] <jonnymac> I've installed gxine
[01:05] <tuxpower> BernieMac next to used RAM info their is info that tells you exactly how large our swap size is. i.e. "232mb used out of ..."
[01:05] <dashfiel> Does anyone know if there is a special process for starting/stopping mysql under ubuntu?  It seems to fail to stop half the time, but I don't understand why.
[01:05] <bulmer> OiPenguin: also try  lspci  this list will confirm what you think you have
[01:05] <dashfiel> I'm just using the standard /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[01:06] <OiPenguin> bulmer: what is lspci?
[01:06] <bruenig> a command
[01:06] <QWIKRNU> hi all
[01:06] <bulmer> OiPenguin: list whats detected via pci
[01:06] <OiPenguin> in terminal?
[01:06] <bulmer> OiPenguin: yes
[01:06] <JoshNur> Hi all, I'd like to save disk space on Ubuntu 7.04 and keep only my development tools. What can I do?
[01:07] <BernieMac> rafaelscj, I am using 464.4Mb out of 1002.4MB of memory and 0mb out of 376.5Mb of swap
[01:07] <bulmer> OiPenguin: if you are not sure of the command, you can   man lspci
[01:07] <OiPenguin> Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DWL-510 2.4GHz Wireless PCI Adapter (rev 20)
[01:07] <JoshNur> I removed some applications with Synaptic already
[01:08] <vader1102> isn't the swap supposed to be double the size of ram? I thought that is what I remembered
[01:08] <rafaelscj> BernieMac, you only need to have more swap if you want to use hybernate
[01:08] <P3nnywise> how do i configure my network after text install?
[01:08] <jonnymac> if it says setting up libdvdread3 and then changes to a waiting command line, does that mean it's done?
[01:08] <JoshNur> Are there any other libs I can safely remove?
[01:08] <LiquidXTC> OK I tried to change my hostname while in Ubuntu Knome and this did not go over very well... My browser would not open, nor would my administrative tasks untill I changed it back. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to change my hostname, without restarting, so that everything will still work??
[01:08] <bulmer> OiPenguin: umm..look for some more..something about network controller
[01:08] <tannerld> hmm
[01:09] <BernieMac> rafaelscj, ok thanks! I'm pretty new to linux, I've only been playing for about a week now
[01:09] <Kitche> vader1102: if you want your system to run slow yes that rule no longer applies unless you do some debugging
[01:09] <lnx_> i can get someof linux player to play video in minimode like windows media player 10 ?
[01:09] <tuxpower> BernieMac your swap size won't be an issue if you have  1 gig of RAM installed
[01:09] <vader1102> ok Kitche
[01:09] <rafaelscj> BernieMac, enjoy it :)
[01:09] <jmak642> how much hd space do i need for a reasonably functional ubuntu?
[01:09] <jmak642> 20gb enough?

[01:10] <JoshNur> I did a 4Gb root partition but now it's getting filled up. That's why I'd like to remove unnecessary stuff if possible
[01:10] <OiPenguin> There is no mention of network controller. Should I post the entire response (about 20 lines)?

[01:17] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong: sorry i am a true stupid newbie
[01:18] <DukeDave> lnx_: Yeah it is a standard package called music-applet, so you can either use synaptic or 'sudo apt-get install music-applet' in a terminal
[01:18] <seraph34> QuiksilverKev, I'm guessing you installed the drivers through the add programs deal
[01:18] <HumanHeart> i installed them just by double clucking on them
[01:18] <QuiksilverKev> Yeah
[01:18] <QuiksilverKev> not 100% convinced tho
[01:18] <HumanHeart> no add and no terminal neither
[01:18] <lowlux> what or where is auto autohinting?
[01:19] <lnx_> DukeDave , i want to see the movie in this small window not the song information , its possible ?

[01:21] <WaltzingAlong> HumanHeart: yes i saw that as well
[01:21] <QuiksilverKev> Not sure, im a real n00b to Ubuntu :)
[01:21] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong: when i double click again the installating facility tells me they are well installed
[01:21] <QuiksilverKev> So far, i have no sound, no wireless lan
[01:21] <QuiksilverKev> hahaha
[01:21] <QuiksilverKev> doing well ;)
[01:22] <DukeDave> lnx_: You should be able to resize totem's window?
[01:22] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong:  but i just can't find them anywhere so i can't use them
[01:22] <DukeDave> To make is smaller
[01:22] <Flannel> ^lego^: the textmode installer should download new packages from the internet during install (if you're connected to the net)
[01:22] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong: FIRST installatuion of Ubuntu
[01:22] <rafaelscj> BernieMac, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:22] <^lego^> thanx Flannel
[01:22] <lowlux> i use VLC i hate totem.
[01:22] <seraph34> QuiksilverKev, what are you running it on?
[01:22] <BernieMac> rafaelscj, thanks!
[01:22] <d90> I need help how to istall xubuntu on mac
[01:22] <lnx_> DukeDave , yea but i want it this way . . .
[01:22] <QuiksilverKev> Acer Aspire 5050
[01:22] <lowlux> i use VLC on windows too
[01:23] <WaltzingAlong> HumanHeart: yes, following. somewhere in the menu should be search/find/locate, you could use that to find the files
[01:23] <seraph34> QuiksilverKev, laptop, right?
[01:23] <jonnymac> I followed the help and support thing to the letter and still can't play dvd's
[01:23] <QuiksilverKev> seraph34,  yes
[01:24] <motac> hi
[01:24] <QWIKRNU> hrrrm
[01:24] <rafaelscj> why does ubuntu never use more than 80% of RAM?
[01:24] <WaltzingAlong> HumanHeart: if you started with the .tgz next it likely extracted the source. from there you would need to compile the source to build the packages
[01:24] <QWIKRNU> i broke it good :)
[01:24] <seraph34> QuiksilverKev, I'm still having troubles with my stuff too... I have sound though, but my wireless networking just doesn't cut it... doesn't really do anything actually... running on an msi laptop
[01:24] <d90> does anybody know how t install xubuntu on mac? I putted disc in to dvdrom and nothing happens
[01:24] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong:  nope, it's the .deb file
[01:24] <WaltzingAlong> rafaelscj: because the system is not being taxed beyond that?
[01:24] <jonnymac> the error message is No demuxer found - stream format not recognised.
[01:25] <antler> hehehe
[01:25] <QWIKRNU> d90: reboot when you put it in
[01:25] <BernieMac> seraph34, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37461/
[01:25] <QuiksilverKev> seraph34, i think my drivers are installed, but i cant switch on the wlan with the swich on the front of the laptop :)
[01:25] <d90> QWIKRNU: nothing happens
[01:25] <QWIKRNU> google it? :)
[01:25] <d90> no help from google
[01:25] <DukeDave> lnx_: Which way?
[01:25] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong:  retroshre_0.3.11c_kubunut_feisty.deb
[01:25] <d90> do i need to logout?
[01:26] <stephans> does anyone know of a dvd authoring program like the one all the apples ship with? So you can make movies and slide shows on DVD?
[01:26] <seraph34> QuiksilverKev, ah... can't really help you there... good luck
[01:26] <QuiksilverKev> Can i install RPM's on Ubuntu ?
[01:26] <CaBlGuY> some help me with a power managment problem I'm havin?
[01:26] <lnx_> DukeDave , like media player 10 in windows
[01:26] <QuiksilverKev> cheers seraph34
[01:26] <WaltzingAlong> HumanHeart: alt+f2   type     retroshare                    or               retroshre
[01:26] <rafaelscj> WaltzingAlong, did that happen with your computer?
[01:26] <WaltzingAlong> stephans: called dvd slideshow
[01:26] <stephans> yes you can install rpms with alien
[01:26] <QuiksilverKev> alien... ok cheers :)
 in where?
[01:26] <rafaelscj> !alien | QuiksilverKev
[01:26] <ubotu> QuiksilverKev: 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)
[01:27] <stephans> is there really a white space in the name
[01:27] <QuiksilverKev> Thanks :)
[01:27] <scalawag> can anyone walk me through the chmod command?
[01:27] <stephans> ?
[01:27] <WaltzingAlong> rafaelscj: i have 2 GB in this system and most anything i do can be done without using swap
[01:27] <QWIKRNU> i'm trying to mount my first hard drive... not going too well..
[01:27] <CaBlGuY> my moonitor doesn't shut down..  the screen saver just runs all the time..  and I think ubunut installed pPM for a laptop instead of a desktop...
[01:27] <QWIKRNU> mount: unknown filesystem type 'dmask=0000'
[01:27] <d90> QWIKRNU, do i need to logout? Cus there is a password on mac, i borrowed mac from friend for a few days (10-15) and i dont know pass
[01:27] <QuiksilverKev> Say i wanted to install Nero Linux, i have 2 options. RPM or DEB package ?
[01:27] <e> fn'QuiksilverKev: use .deb
[01:27] <WaltzingAlong> QuiksilverKev: if the deb is available use that
[01:27] <jrib> scalawag: take one step, "c", take another step, "h".... what do you mean?
[01:27] <d90> he wants that I install ubuntu on it
[01:27] <QuiksilverKev> Right, so is there some way to install it?
[01:28] <jonnymac> No demuxer found - stream format not recognised. Why is gxine saying that?
[01:28] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong: THANKS man, i got them now
[01:28] <e> fn'QuiksilverKev: double-click it?
 it is not available in 'add remove'
[01:28] <WaltzingAlong> QuiksilverKev: is there a way to install some software that comes in a .deb? yes
[01:28] <Nilisco> Can anyone recommend a good linux mp3 tagging program, something like tag and rename?  I need to organize my mp3s
[01:28] <WaltzingAlong> stephans: what?
 and i have all the sources checked
[01:28] <QuiksilverKev> I can open it with GDebi ..
[01:28] <rafaelscj> WaltzingAlong, okay, thanks
[01:28] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong: do you know why i couldn't find them with the search fiels utility?
[01:28] <DukeDave> lnx_: I don't really know what Media Player 10 looks like I'm afraid
[01:28] <e> yes that is what you want
[01:28] <WaltzingAlong> HumanHeart: no
[01:28] <lowlux> how do i start and use iptables?
[01:28] <e> that will install it
 dvd slideshow
[01:28] <CaBlGuY> so, anyone know about that??
[01:28] <QuiksilverKev> Thanks e :)
[01:29] <astro76> Nilisco, check out EasyTAG
[01:29] <jmak642> i have a hard drive that goes in my swapable bay on my laptop, can i load ubuntu on that?

 sorry I did not see a link...
[01:31] <lnx_> DukeDave , i dont know to write programs

[01:31] <ubotu> dark2y: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:31] <dark2y> sorry, so ... how do i reinstall my sound..
[01:31] <dark2y> :D
[01:31] <BlankDenim> lnx_: what's the question?
[01:32] <fl33tingtime> http://tinyurl.com/2gl2ky
[01:32] <dark2y> ?
[01:32] <vip3rousmango> does ubuntu have a wireless "repair" option like windows? or something similar?
[01:32] <CaBlGuY> !audio
[01:32] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
 Thank you!
[01:32] <dark2y> i get this error:
[01:32] <dark2y> audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Resource busy or not available.
[01:32] <CaBlGuY> ok, 2nd time---my moonitor doesn't shut down..  the screen saver just runs all the time..  and I think ubunut installed pPM for a laptop instead of a desktop...
[01:32] <lnx_> BlankDenim , i can get minimode in totem like meeedia player 10 in windows ?
[01:32] <astro76> vip3rousmango, disabling then enabling Wireless would have the same effect
[01:33] <dark2y> i am not running any program that needs sound ..
[01:33] <vip3rousmango> astro76: i do, but it doesn't. i find when that issue comes up the only solution is a logout/login
[01:33] <CaBlGuY> anyone help me with that???
[01:33] <BlankDenim> lnx_: I'm not sure, but there are other players, not just totem. Rhythm Box, Amarok, Banshee, VLC, XMMS, etc.
[01:34] <vip3rousmango> linxeh: use XmmS
[01:34] <lowlux> will firestarter block hacker attacks?
[01:34] <CaBlGuY> lnx_:  go here----

[01:34] <lnx_> BlankDenim , them all cant do it . ..
[01:34] <ubotu> lowlux: 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).
[01:34] <CaBlGuY> try that
[01:34] <vip3rousmango> lnx_: er.. try Xmms, it has a mini-player that is nice, but it doesn't intergrate into the taskbar like wmp
[01:34] <Dr_Willis> lowlux  its a firewall configuration tool.. plain and simple.
[01:34] <beruic> Hi. I have installed gfxboot and gfxboot-theme-ubuntu to make my boot look nice. Now, how do i actually make it work?
[01:34] <Geoffrey2> if you need libssh2 support in Ubuntu, what's the best way to grab it, since it doesn't exist in Feistys' repos?
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> !find libssh
[01:35] <ubotu> Found: libssh-2, libssh-2-dbg, libssh-2-dev
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> libssh2 is not the same as libssh-2 ?
[01:35] <seraph34> !system
[01:35] <jonnymac> alright... the ubuntu forum says go to software properties, I don't have a software properties, I have a software sources with the same icon but when I open it nothing resembles the diagram or the tabs I need
[01:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about system - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> way tooo many similer names...
[01:35] <seraph34> !scan

[01:36] <astro76> jonnymac, software properties is pre-feisty
[01:36] <astro76> jonnymac, what do you need to do?
[01:36] <osmosis> any way to check if my hd is running at  sata1.5  or sata3.0 ?
[01:36] <CaBlGuY> !nmap
[01:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nmap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[01:37] <Geoffrey2> Dr_Willis, as far as I can tell, libssh-2 and libssh2 are different applications
[01:37] <jonnymac> I've been trying for over three hours to read dvd's, I've followed the help and support thing to the letter and still gxine says stream format not recognised no demuxer found,
[01:37] <seraph34> need help with wireless drivers for RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01). Running on an MSI MegaBook L715
[01:37] <astro76> jonnymac, have you tried with totem or vlc?
[01:37] <jonnymac> totem then gxine
[01:38] <lactose> jonnymac: do you have libdvdcss installed?
[01:38] <astro76> jonnymac, did you install libdvdcss2
[01:38] <beruic> Hi. I have installed gfxboot and gfxboot-theme-ubuntu to make my boot look nice. Now, how do i actually make it work?
[01:38] <jonnymac> hold on
[01:38] <kazol_> Anyone here have experience with TrueCrypt?
[01:38] <jonnymac> libdvdcss2 is installed
[01:39] <astro76> jonnymac, how about libdvdread3?
[01:39] <jonnymac> yep that was in the help and properties bit
[01:39] <jonnymac> I used apt to set it up
[01:39] <astro76> what error do you get in vlc?
[01:39] <astro76> or totem?
[01:39] <jonnymac> I haven't tried vlc
[01:40] <astro76> jonnymac, that would be good to try too
[01:40] <astro76> jonnymac, what error in totem?
[01:40] <jonnymac> Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle it.
[01:40] <beruic> Hi. I have installed gfxboot and gfxboot-theme-ubuntu to make my boot look nice. Now, how do i actually make it work?
[01:40] <vip3rousmango> jonnymac: try VLC player
[01:40] <jonnymac> ok thanks
[01:41] <vip3rousmango> jonnymac: or kaffine.. both work nice with DVD's and everything else as long as you have the gstreamer plugins
[01:41] <BernieMac> jonnymac, do you have desktop effects on?
[01:41] <jonnymac> i don't think so
[01:42] <jonnymac> I only installed a few days ago
[01:42] <What_the_Deuce> Anyone else'scompiz-fusion FAIL after the last update, like, 10 mins ago?
[01:42] <BernieMac> jonnymac, ok nevermind then. My media players don't like to play videos when I have the desktop effects enabled
[01:42] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: same here..
[01:42] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, I'm not alone!!
[01:42] <swarm> so I installed ubuntu on my external HDD, and it broke my internal HDD's boot records... any advice on fixing that?
[01:43] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: nope, i find when I have the window-wavey thingy it just royally messes up full-screen play
[01:43] <gwapo> i need help installing my epson stylus cx2900 printer
[01:43] <swarm> i'm currently in ubuntu on the external HDD
[01:43] <What_the_Deuce> Am i alone? anyone elses Compiz-fusion fail after the recent updaye (10 mins ago, ish)
[01:43] <swarm> my windows partition does not work, nor does my ubuntu partition on the internal drive...
[01:43] <gwapo> i need help installing my epson stylus cx2900 printer
[01:43] <swarm> What_the_Deuce: mine works
[01:43] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, yeah, even if I just have the desktop on a cube enabled I have to really play with them to display video, audio works fine though
[01:43] <nickrud> swarm: easiest is to tell grub to install it's boot record on the external mbr, and have windows fix the internal. Then, have it boot to external if plugged in
[01:44] <vip3rousmango> swarm: thats cuz windows likes to be default.. installing ubuntu told windows to go screw itself.. and windows doesn't like that
[01:44] <swarm> nick, but I can't get to windows.
[01:44] <What_the_Deuce> Swarm: even after the update? Mine just abruptly stoped working
[01:44] <maxagaz> hi
[01:44] <swarm> ubuntu and windows played nice together on the same hard drive..
[01:44] <disclaimer> sup guys
[01:44] <nickrud> swarm: there are utilities to fix the windows mbr out on the net
[01:44] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: oh, i don't even run the cube.. im on a laptop it would kill it
[01:44] <flux__> ist
[01:44] <jonnymac> BernieMac: I didn't find # gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse in the synaptic package manager
[01:44] <swarm> any favorites, nick?
[01:45] <disclaimer> what are the available alternate kernels to try to boot with, and how do i tell ubuntu to boot them off the live cd
[01:45] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, I'm running on a laptop, it doesn't really affect anything except video play
[01:45] <disclaimer> it wont boot on a machine, and i want to try another kernel
[01:45] <gwapo> hey guys, need help here. i need to install my epson stylux cx2900. where can i get the driver?
[01:45] <vip3rousmango> disclaimer: you can use KDE, X, Gnome.. you'll need to apt-get install the other DE's and then logout/login with that new environment
[01:45] <gwapo> hey guys, need help here. i need to install my epson stylux cx2900. where can i get the driver?
[01:46] <nickrud> swarm: I don't use windows except virtualized, so no :)
[01:46] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: ahh, well my internal vid card wines when i try to put everything on
[01:46] <disclaimer> vip3rousmango, it doesnt boot.
[01:46] <maxagaz> Why my website http://82.235.26.179/modx/ is quite fast, and this http://82.235.26.179/smf/ is extremely slow ? It's on the same server!
[01:46] <disclaimer> i need to try another kernel
[01:46] <BernieMac> jonnymac, are you searching just ubuntu supported apps or all apps?
[01:46] <vip3rousmango> disclaimer: you can't even get to login screen?
[01:46] <nickrud> swarm: iirc there's a recovery mode on the windows boot disk that works as well
[01:46] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, yeah, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to run all of them then
[01:47] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: yeah no. that = death
[01:47] <swarm> nick, i only have the restore cd's
[01:47] <MeRodent> nickrud, yeah. last time I had to fixMBR it took 15 minutes for the winXP disk to get to recovery mode :(
[01:47] <nickrud> MeRodent: :)
[01:48] <lowlux> how do i make ubuntu auto update?
[01:48] <MeRodent> nickrud, and that was after finding that Vista didn't seem to have a recovery mode. :(
[01:48] <gwapo> hey guys, need help here. i need to install my epson stylux cx2900. where can i get the driver? i use feisty fawn
[01:48] <nickrud> lowlux: what do you mean by auto update
[01:48] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, lol, I think I would avoid that at all costs if I were you. What are you using?
[01:49] <nickrud> MeRodent: hmm, I think I better go look for that 'fixmbr' thing on the net, then. Just in case I meet someone who still boots it
[01:49] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: HP Pavilion dv1000 with an Intel G915 Graphics accelorator.. nothing special
[01:49] <lowlux> will beryl slow down my 1.6 GZ computer?
[01:49] <vip3rousmango> lowlux: oh yes it will
[01:49] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, I'm just on a dell latitude d520, only a year old and my batt life is down to around 30 min
[01:50] <lowlux> o.o
[01:50] <nickrud> lowlux: probably not enough to matter to you
[01:50] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: wack. well hp and ubuntu havn't been the nicest of friends.. but they are getting along =b
[01:51] <seraph34> need help with wireless drivers for RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01). Running on an MSI MegaBook L715
[01:51] <vip3rousmango> gwapo: if the printer is USB, ubuntu should reconize it as an Epson.. and give you a list to pick from.. worked for my Brother MC420
[01:52] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, I haven't really had any problems. I can't boot if I leave my wireless is enabled when I shut down, other than that its been perfect since install
[01:53] <DreamWolf_> Evnin (that is in my nick of the woods)
[01:53] <gwapo> vip3rousmango, yes ubuntu did recognize but cx2900 isn't on the model list
[01:53] <lowlux> where would i get that system monitor that shows up on your desktop like some kind of wallpaper?
[01:53] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: wow thats odd.. i think that might solve some issues for myself as well =b
[01:53] <DreamWolf_> i just encountered an strange prob while installing an dual boot ubuntu 7.04 with winXp pro
[01:54] <jmak642> should i defrag my ntfs hard drive before i let the livecd resize the partition so i can install ubuntu?
[01:54] <gwapo> vip3rousmango, yes ubuntu did recognize but cx2900 isn't on the model list. i tried using drivers for cx 1500 and cx 3000 but it doesn't work well
[01:54] <Kitche> lowlux: conky maybe
[01:54] <DreamWolf_> ubuntu din't recognize my onboard nic. ( reaktek rtl8111
[01:54] <vip3rousmango> gwapo: windows drivers don't work well in ubuntu even if u try to install thru wine, all i can suggest are checking the forums/google
[01:55] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, having problems with wireless? seems ubuntu does not like wireless most of the time, mine works fine once I'm booted
[01:55] <DreamWolf_> I got it working by turning on Lan boot in bios and Wan-on lan enabled in WinXp
[01:56] <P3nnywise> How do i configure my network?
[01:56] <DreamWolf_> never had this prob with other nic
[01:56] <DarkED> hey are there any gui iso mounting tools for gnome?

[01:59] <Talaman72> oookk
[01:59] <BernieMac> jonnymac, didn't think I was even that helpful!! but you're welcome. Pass on the babies....
[01:59] <Talaman72> so linux + myspaceIM, any programs for that?
[01:59] <Fink> wine?
[01:59] <DarkED> vip3rousmango, any way to get it in english?
[01:59] <cristhian> anybody has managed a notebook screen light ?

[02:00] <BernieMac> jonnymac, do you have a player that is working for you?
[02:00] <vip3rousmango> DarkED: the only other thing is maybe try converting it to another file format and burn it?

[02:01] <jonnymac> avi, divx &c I was using movieplayer
[02:01] <vip3rousmango> RustyJames: I use Kaffeine

[02:01] <Talaman72> wine?
[02:01] <DARKGuy> Hey guys, is there a program to "draw "on a window for quick notes (similar to a billboard, or compiz-fusion's fire paint plugin) ?
[02:02] <RustyJames> do you know if you can change the path where kaffeine saves the dvbt streams?
[02:02] <wolferine> looking for customizing the Panels, what file is it stored in ?
[02:02] <Talaman72> wine isn't an IM program

[02:03] <Fink> i am trying to dual boot: i need windows, for (easy) compatability with most (commercial) games - but when i go to re-size my ntfs partition with gpartSomethingOrAnother, it just stops...i leave it for hours and still no avail...last few times i tried i ended up re-installing windows for reasons mensioned before...
[02:03] <vip3rousmango> DarkED: yikes, ok well then. guess burning's out of the question =b
[02:03] <detra> usb sound cards ??? How ???
[02:04] <DARKGuy> Hey guys, is there a program to "draw "on a window for quick notes (similar to a billboard, or compiz-fusion's fire paint plugin) ?
[02:05] <detra> I doubt that out of 1068 users on this channel that no one knows how to setup usb soundcards ... So there must be somebody who knows ...
[02:05] <vip3rousmango> yeha, but not all 1068 users are talking
[02:05] <detra> and somebody who can help me ...
[02:05] <jmak642> what sound card?  did you look on the forum?
[02:05] <PriceChild> DARKGuy, compiz has an "annotate" plugin which is more for that
[02:05] <jmak642> !forum
[02:05] <ubotu> The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org
[02:05] <DARKGuy> and USB sound cards are VERY rare where i live
[02:05] <DARKGuy> expensive too.

[02:06] <trix> hi, I'm moving away to school tomorrow morning and I managed to somehow cause my computer not to recognize my wireless card.  I would just reinstall because I don't have much time but the torrent for the disc image won't be done downloading by tomorrow morning.  Is there anyone here could determine how it is that modprobe ipw2200 returned a FATAL ERROR ?
[02:06] <detra> ubotu, and what did I do ?
[02:06] <DARKGuy> PriceChild: oh well..... guess a screenshot will do. Thanks :)
[02:06] <PriceChild> DarkED, i bet there's something.... somewhere :)
[02:06] <BernieMac> detra you are talking to a bot

[02:07] <detra> hmm
[02:07] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[02:07] <gerro> how do I get it back?
[02:07] <seraph34> detra, there is also a whole ton of resources on the internet... so there must be someplace that knows...
[02:07] <vip3rousmango> gerro: its an option, you just clicked to show menu-bar off

[02:07] <cduby1> Toshiba Satellite laptop running 7.04.......wondering if and how I can capture a video signal from an external source via the s-video port on the back.....?
[02:07] <gerro> vip3rousmango: I can't find an option to bring it back is there some weird key combo I can press or what?
[02:07] <DarkED> PriceChild, yeah, apparently i can use bchunk to convert it to iso but i dont want to convert it
[02:07] <vip3rousmango> gerro: try hitting ctrl+m to toggle it on and off
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> cduby1 you sure thats a svideo IN? not an Out?
[02:08] <cduby1> Dr_Willis, honestly not sure......
[02:08] <detra> seraph34, I looked around and I didn't feel any help from it ... So I figured that someone in here might be able to help me ...
[02:08] <gerro> vip3rousmango: wow that was lame, something I would expect from a gnome app
[02:08] <PriceChild> DarkED, whoops that wasn't to you :P
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> cduby1 i cant say that ive ever seen a svideo IN on a laptop.

[02:08] <DarkED> PriceChild, oh, sorry :)
[02:08] <cduby1> Dr_Willis, ok
[02:08] <cduby1> Dr_Willis, pretty much nothing you can do there, huh?
[02:08] <rafaelscj> Fink, if I were you I would use PartitionMagic
[02:09] <cduby1> Dr_Willis, as far as video capture....

[02:10] <norty> i just installed ubuntu, how do i change the screen resolution to 1280x1024, the guides i have followed aren't working
[02:10] <CaBlGuY> !version
[02:10] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[02:10] <rafaelscj> Fink, yes, how many partitions?
[02:11] <Fink> i only need 3 - windows ,linux, and swap
[02:11] <jmak642> norty, change the available resolutions in /etc/X11/xorg.conf  make sure you make a backup of that file first so you can fix it if you do something wrong
[02:11] <Fink> but i only needa get a way to resize the linux
[02:11] <trix> no, not the car
[02:11] <rafaelscj> Fink, so, do you have a primary partition, right?
[02:11] <jmak642> norty, make sure you add the desired resolution to all color depth settings
[02:12] <rafaelscj> Fink, you have*
[02:12] <norty> jmak642, i changed all the lines that said mode: "1024x768" ... and added "1280x1024" but that didn't work
[02:12] <trix> am I in the room?
[02:12] <Fink> rafaelscj: yes, its windows, though
[02:12] <jmak642> norty, what video board do you have?
[02:12] <seraph34> trix, uh... well then
[02:12] <norty> nvidia geforce 6800 gt
[02:12] <trix> I'm a dude
[02:12] <lowlux> should i use an anti virus? is there spyware? ?
[02:12] <rafaelscj> Fink, did you already use defrag?

[02:14] <cduby1> heh
[02:14] <gerro> vip3rousmango: ah kopete doesn't have accept buddy option but gaim does :(
[02:14] <jmak642> is there an ubuntu channel not dedicated to support that people just talk in?

[02:15] <jmak642> Flannel, thanks
[02:15] <vip3rousmango> gerro: i'm sure there is.. try under the AIM profile config
[02:16] <rafaelscj> Fink, PartitionMagic should tell you
[02:16] <gerro> vip3rousmango: no I mean kopete when you use yahoo and people add you to their list you can't accept them, therefor you can't talk to them
[02:16] <Fink> i just did z righclick>properties
[02:16] <gerro> vip3rousmango have to use gaim for that, but it appears kopete doesn't work at all even though it has more webcam and audio support than gaim would ever aim for
[02:16] <Fink> *rightclick

[02:16] <lowlux> what are some walls to keep hackers out and to hide myself?
[02:16] <lowlux> ways
[02:17] <lowlux> not walls?
[02:17] <Loopies> hello!  How do you start a program from the command line in Ubuntu?
[02:17] <Fink> lowlux: google?
[02:17] <Loopies> I need Root access to make it work, and I can't figure out how to start it.  I tried "./" but I don't think that was right.
[02:18] <Fink> Loopies: sudo?
[02:18] <rafaelscj> lowlux, don't run unsecured servers
[02:18] <cduby1> Loopies, gksudo program_name
[02:18] <lowlux> servers?
[02:18] <Loopies> fink, well, that's what I was planning on doing, but I don't know what to type after that
[02:18] <Loopies> cduby1, okay, thank you.  I will try it.
[02:19] <Fink> Loopies: if you wanted to run the command ./someprog as root then you would do sudo ./someprog
[02:19] <vip3rousmango> gerro: odd.. everything works for me.. i can add/remove people from any service fine.
[02:19] <Loopies> cduby1, well, it opened, but it said there were tons of errors.
[02:19] <Loopies> fink, and that will start a program?
[02:19] <Loopies> fink: I think i might have misused that command
[02:19] <wolferine> looking for customizing the Panels, what file is it stored in ?
[02:19] <Fink> Loopies: most of the time...
[02:19] <pitecantropus> what`s a Troll?http://www.geekosophical.net/?p=156
[02:20] <Fink> Loopies: it should aslong as you have the command right
[02:20] <lowlux> does linux store crap... like info... pictures.. thumbtails.. .... even after you deleted it? windows use that crap and its hell to crear  out..
[02:20] <wolferine> lowlux, its called the recycle bin
[02:21] <pitecantropus> as far as know, YES, it keeps after delete
[02:21] <CaBlGuY> lowlux:  and also, the cash cleaner runs itself after so long..
[02:21] <bruenig> thumbnails derived as part of the file manager's display like when you go into a directory of pictures and there are a bunch of thumbnails of the pictures, those are stored so that they can be displayed in ~/.thumbnails
[02:21] <bruenig> that is all
[02:22] <OrTigaS> hi! now i finally installed ubuntu in my external usb hd. its just only 6.06. now i have this problrem. i can't connect to internet tru LAN, but i can see all windows network machine. any idea?
[02:22] <OrTigaS> it happen also when i use Live CD
[02:22] <Loopies> cduby1, can you take a look at this output, please:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37463/
[02:22] <OrTigaS> i used in a laptop
[02:23] <norty> ok i installed the nvidia drivers, now my resolution is ridiculously small 640xwhatever and i have no options to turn it higher, what do i do next???
[02:23] <Loopies> cduby1, It DOES start, but with all of those errors.
[02:23] <lhot> hi again, how do i use alien? this source file is being overly stupid
[02:23] <Flannel> lhot: source file?
[02:23] <Talaman72> update on the myspaceIM: found website from ubuntu-unleashed with script to setup pidgin
[02:23] <jrib> lowlux: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150483 it's being worked on it seems
[02:23] <Fink> which would be the better partition manager, the one htat came with ubuntu on the livecd install cd thing... or my partlogic cd
[02:24] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, can't you access web pages?
[02:25] <OrTigaS> rafaelscj no
[02:25] <lhot> not to important, but whats the command to run alien?
[02:25] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, did you check your DNS's IP?
[02:25] <scalawag> what are 7 and 1 (regarding permissions...711)
[02:25] <Flannel> lhot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto  But, source file?
[02:25] <lhot> ive used it before, but cant remeber it
[02:25] <lhot> thanks
[02:25] <lowlux> i can not hear sound on youtube?
[02:25] <OrTigaS> but there's no problem here in our network
[02:26] <lowlux> with head phones
[02:26] <Fink> lowlux: install the beta flashplayer
[02:26] <Flannel> scalawag: rwx, 4 = r, 2 = w, 1 = x (7 = 4+2=1)
[02:26] <lhot> they didnt have debs, so i got source, and its just not working
[02:26] <lhot> so
[02:26] <lhot> thanks
[02:26] <cellofellow> scalawag: 7 is everything, read+write+execute, 1 would be just execute which I think is a non-usable mode.
[02:26] <OrTigaS> its open, anyone connect to aln its gonna have internet
[02:26] <OrTigaS> aln=lan*
[02:26] <Flannel> lhot: If you have the source, you don't use alien.  Alien is for rpms, you'd use checkinstall
[02:26] <Flannel> !checkinstall | lhot
[02:26] <ubotu> lhot: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[02:26] <scalawag> thank you
[02:27] <gerro> I'm using a webcam with spca561 driver, how do I turn up resolution and get rid of stuck pixels?
[02:27] <rafaelscj> gerro, what app?
[02:27] <trix> so bruenig, I have that file for ipw2200 ... what next?
[02:27] <OrTigaS> if i use the lan cable to other windows machine it works, but when i use ubuntu it does't
[02:28] <gerro> rafaelscj: kopete but it seems to be a default thing, when I use it on amsn same sort of look
[02:28] <BernieMac> norty, try gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[02:28] <norty> ok i installed the nvidia drivers, now my resolution is ridiculously small 640xwhatever and i have no options to turn it higher, what do i do next???
[02:29] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, are you using DHCP?

[02:30] <rafaelscj> gerro, I am using the same driver, and the quality is bad
[02:30] <kbrooks> what is something smaller and leaner than xchat yet still functional and gui based?
[02:30] <gerro> rafaelscj: so no idea how to turn up resolution with spca based webcams?

[02:31] <trix> bruenig if you don't know how to solve the problem you wouldn't be the first
[02:32] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, right-click on network-mamager's icon, then select "...information..."
[02:32] <bruenig> trix, compile ipw2200.c
[02:32] <Pc_Dark> can you minimize rhythmbox to the tray, so it's not in the task bar at all?
[02:32] <bruenig> trix, is there no Makefile?
[02:32] <trix> yes, there is a makefile
[02:32] <trix> can i just type make?
[02:32] <bruenig> trix, yeah
[02:32] <trix> and then Makefile install or something
[02:32] <rafaelscj> gerro, I used some apps like XawTV but...
[02:33] <bruenig> trix, just type the make and be sure that works
[02:33] <wolferine> Pc_Dark, just lazy ?
[02:33] <kbrooks> trix: no, make install
[02:33] <hhp21> Can someone help me with my updater? It's been broken for weeks now and nobody seems to know why.. :(
[02:33] <rafaelscj> gerro, the same quality
[02:33] <bruenig> modules are usually copied over, or at least in build scripts they are
[02:33] <Pc_Dark> wolferine, i want it out of my site, so I can work
[02:33] <norty> ok i installed the nvidia drivers, now my resolution is ridiculously small 640xwhatever and i have no options to turn it higher, what do i do next???
[02:33] <Pelo> hhp21, did you play in the sources.list file ?
[02:33] <hhp21> pelo: no, what's that?
[02:34] <wolferine> Pc_Dark, did you actually look in the application before asking the question ?
[02:34] <Pelo> hhp21, could have been the cause of the update breakage
[02:34] <trix> when I type make, I get a wall of errors...  ..."incompatible pointer type"
[02:34] <Pelo> hhp21, when you say the updater has been broken, can you be a littl emore detailed ?
[02:34] <Pc_Dark> wolferine, kinda
[02:34] <Pc_Dark> I don't see an option though, in plain site
[02:34] <hhp21> Pelo: When it runs, it'll either run through the sources list, or it might not.. but it always ends up telling me "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem."

[02:35] <hhp21> Pelo: and when I do run that command, it freezes the computer.
[02:35] <Pc_Dark> Nope, no option there
[02:35] <bruenig> trix, those are probably not errors but are warnings of deprecated code
[02:35] <wolferine> its not rocket science :)
[02:35] <Pelo> hhp21, boot the recovery mode and run taht command
[02:35] <wolferine> really, nothing at all in view?
[02:35] <hhp21> Pelo: how do you do that?
[02:35] <speps> hey guys ... how about speedfan control???I try with pwmconfig ... but it says : /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed .Any idea?
[02:35] <wolferine> hmm, I guess you have the version 0.0.0.1
[02:36] <Pc_Dark> Meh, close works as long as I don't 'quit'
[02:36] <BernieMac> when I run sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf it opens the file but it is currently blank. It used to be filled. What should I do to retrieve the file?
[02:36] <bruenig> BernieMac, X11 not x11
[02:36] <astro76> BernieMac, it's X11, not x11
[02:37] <hhp21> Pelo: I think I got it :) Thanks for your help
[02:37] <BernieMac> oh wow
[02:37] <hhp21> I may be back if it doesn't work.

[02:37] <trix> here she is, in all her beauty:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37464/
[02:37] <wolferine> :)
[02:37] <astro76> BernieMac, use tab completion on the command line, it helps
[02:37] <Pelo> hhp21, ok make a note of that dpkg --configure -a  command,  (you'll probably have to run it as sudo) , note the exact spelling and syntax to make sure, then   reboot,  when you get the grub menu select the recovery mode usualy gthe second option from the top , if you don'T get a grub menu when you boot,  type the esc key just after the bios screen  that should get you the menu
[02:37] <trix> do I need to make this in a different directory?
[02:37] <Sajes> How do I restore grub, if I reinstall Windows?
[02:37] <Pelo> damit
[02:37] <compilerwriter> BernieMac Linux is case sensitive unlike that virus from Redmond.
[02:38] <coreymon77> BernieMac: linux is case sensitive

[02:38] <Pc_Dark> Windows is not a bad OS
[02:38] <Pc_Dark> It's very useful, and has a purpose
[02:38] <nickrud> Pelo: that seems just perfect for an autoreplace :)
[02:38] <Pc_Dark> So does Ubuntu.
[02:38] <WaltzingAlong> cough
[02:38] <wolferine> Pc_Dark, sorry, looks like there isnt something to do that

[02:38] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[02:38] <wolferine> my bad :(
[02:38] <compilerwriter> pelo Did I mention Windows?
[02:38] <coreymon77> Pc_Dark: yes it is, we just prefer not to talk about it
[02:39] <progek> Can anyone give me some advice as to what could be wrong? Limewire nor Frostwire fails to connect. I am not behind a router so it's not a router firewall issue. I'm running Feisty Fawn with the last update. I have a laptop with the same configuration and Frostwire runs fine. I'm running Java JRE 6 (suns implementation)
[02:39] <BernieMac> I knew that too...newbie slip up I suppose. Thanks guys!!
[02:39] <Pelo> compilerwriter, I don'T know of many os based in redmond,  but then I'm not all that knowledgable
[02:39] <Ronminu> hi
[02:39] <nickrud> Pc_Dark: install the  music-applet , it puts rhythmbox in the notification area
[02:40] <wolferine> or is it rhythmbox-applet ?
[02:40] <Pelo> progek, no idea , sorry it's always connected straight off for me,  check the frostwire site, they have a forum you can search in there
[02:40] <nickrud> used to be, but thats history
[02:40] <compilerwriter> Pelo I didn't even make a comment about OS either.
[02:41] <jrib> Pc_Dark: you can just click on the icon in the notification area and it will minimize to it
[02:41] <astro76> trix, the real problem is the error in line 5 of your paste, not sure what that is though
[02:41] <Puppy_> My speakers are kind of quiet. Is there a way to make sure all the speaker features in Ubuntu are maxed?
[02:41] <astro76> trix, I mean where the file comes from
[02:41] <jmak642> i asked earlier if 20 gb was enough space for ubuntu, what about 15? or 10?
[02:41] <sidewalk> can someone help me with an url, on installing beryl+xgl+kiba-dock ?
[02:41] <BernieMac> to edit something out of the xorg.conf file do I just put a # in front of the line?
[02:41] <compilerwriter> Pelo Now if someone read what I wrote and through some Freudian slip concluded I was referring to Windows then well they may need to examine their own thoughts on the matter.
[02:41] <Pelo> Puppy_,   terminal  alsamixer
[02:41] <sidewalk> running 7.04
[02:41] <progek> Pelo thanks, I tried that including the ubuntu forums as well. I found some threads which sounded like my problem however the solutions/if any - didn't work for me. This all started after reinstalling Ubuntu
[02:41] <Pelo> compilerwriter,  just drop it
[02:41] <maynards-girl> i tried installing vmWare using the add/remove and it didn't work, so now I'm following the directions on sourceforge.  my problem is when I go to run the install it detects a previously install version and abort. any suggestions?
[02:41] <Puppy_> Pelo: I will check that out. thanks
[02:41] <Sajes> !grub > Sajes
[02:42] <trix> I have a 2.6.20-15 and a 2.6.20-16, but only the 15 shows up in grub, if that is relevant in any way
[02:42] <jmak642> i will have lots of packages installed
[02:42] <Pelo> Puppy_,  you might also try replugging the speakers and checking the volume contrl on the speakers themselves if this is a desktop
[02:42] <nickrud> maynards-girl: delete /etc/vmware
[02:42] <maynards-girl> nickrud, ok i'll do that. thanks
[02:43] <Puppy_> Pelo: the speakers do not have volume on them.
[02:43] <norty> how the FUCK do i change resolutions in ubuntu, all the god damn guides suck!
[02:43] <nickrud> maynards-girl: had the same problem yesterday :)
[02:43] <astro76> !language | norty
[02:43] <ubotu> norty: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:43] <Pelo> maynards-girl, go in synaptic and remove completely the previous versions ,  check in the status display to make sure there aren'T any auto remove packages left
[02:43] <nickrud> norty: nvidia:  nvidia-settings
[02:43] <jrib> !fixres > norty (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:43] <cellofellow> norty: and to answer your question, you may have to edit the xorg.conf file
[02:44] <trix> is there some way I can re-install linux without redownloading a new disk image?
[02:44] <astro76> trix, that's not right, you should be selecting the newer one in grub
[02:44] <jrib> norty: system -> preferences -> screen resolution first, then what ubotu said
[02:44] <norty> i edited it
[02:44] <norty> it didn't work
[02:44] <norty> i tried what ubotu said it didn't work
[02:44] <maynards-girl> thanks Pelo, i did that right before you posted.  I'm not blond but I think i a blond moment :/
[02:44] <Pelo> trix,  don't you have your old one ?
[02:44] <progek> has anyone here ever had issues connecting to networks with frostwire or limewire
[02:44] <trix> the newer one I stopped using because I got an error with xorg... os I went back to the 15...  for some reason the 16 disappeared
[02:44] <jrib> norty: he says a lot of things, you tried them all?  What exactly happened when you tried?
[02:44] <wolferine> norty, not our fault you cannot follow instructions :)
[02:44] <trix> No, I don't have it.
[02:45] <norty> jrib i tried editing the xconf file
[02:45] <trix> I'm about a third of the way through the download but I'm only getting like 10k a sec
[02:45] <Pelo> trix, what video card od you have ?
[02:45] <norty> and installing the nvidia drivers
[02:45] <trix> nvidia Geforce 6800
[02:45] <gerro> nickrud: nvidia makes them so check their forum
[02:45] <jmak642> my usage on my desktop is like 10.5 gb without my profile.  i better go with 20 plus page at least
[02:45] <trix> but as I saw I can't select 16... it's not in the grub menu
[02:45] <trix> say
[02:45] <Pelo> trix,  you'll need the alternate install cd , no way around it ,  unless you downloaded the dvd which as the text based installer on it
[02:46] <nickrud> gerro: not me, no, I fight thru ati's
[02:46] <trix> darn that's not even the one I'm downloading.
[02:46] <BernieMac> is there a command to restart from the terminal?
[02:46] <wolferine> I like how ppl curse, get all the attention, and actually get assistance

[02:48] <rafaelscj> Pelo, okay
[02:49] <dudeicles> folks I'm having a weird problem. seems my nicklist here in Konversation as well as lists in other programs is showing weird.
[02:49] <trix> oh, the alt cd is downloading super fast
[02:49] <Puppy_> Pelo: ha ha. i rechecked, and the speakers were not properly plugged in.
[02:49] <Pelo> trix, not to a question I asked, I got what I wanted about 4 comments ago , I don'T know why you were telling me about your connection
[02:49] <Pelo> Puppy_, always start with the easy stuff ,  the hard stuff can drive you nuts
[02:49] <trix> trix,  you'll need the alternate install cd , no way around it ,
[02:49] <trix>           unless you downloaded the dvd which as the text based installer on

[02:49] <Puppy_> thanks, bye
[02:49] <trix> whoops sorry about that
[02:50] <wolferine> im sure you are :)
[02:50] <nickrud> nicely formatted, though
[02:50] <wolferine> hehe
[02:50] <trix> garggg
[02:50] <Pelo> trix when you talk to someone  put their nick in the line, it hightlites for them and makes it easier to follow
[02:50] <vader1102> night poeple, time for this one to go into work
[02:50] <wolferine> work! I just got off work!
[02:51] <norty> here is my xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.com/m536a6151
[02:51] <trix> I used ubuntu ultimate 1.4 gamers dvd so is this ubuntu alternate disc image not going to work for me?
[02:51] <norty> i added "1280x1024" after the modes but it didn't save when i restarted
[02:51] <norty> what's wrong?
[02:51] <dudeicles> does anyone think they can help me. I'll paste the image link so you can see what i'm talking about.
[02:51] <wolferine> norty sudo
[02:51] <benanzo> how do I create a large file for network throughput testing?
[02:51] <Pelo> trix, I think we are getting a bit confused here what are you trying to acheive ?  a clean install ?
[02:51] <WaltzingAlong> norty: how id you open the file to edit it?
[02:51] <WaltzingAlong> dudeicles: go for it
[02:51] <Mishu> I log to my server shell remotely using putty but when i do ls it shows most of content in blue color which is nearly invisible i want to change the color, how can i do so?
[02:52] <Pelo> benanzo,  use gnome baker to create a dvd iso of a bunch of files
[02:52] <norty> what do you mean sudo
[02:52] <trix> I just want to make it so that my computer recognizes my wireless card.  it did yesterday.  I screwed something up and I have no idea what I did wrong or how to fix it.
[02:52] <trix> it seems like such a simple thing but I'm losted.
[02:52] <trix> lost
[02:52] <trix> wow
[02:52] <trix> I just wrote losted
[02:52] <dudeicles> WaltzingAlong: thank you. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8441470@N02/1383922668/
[02:52] <wolferine> Mishu, thats something with putty
[02:52] <trix> argggg
[02:52] <wolferine> !enter
[02:52] <astro76> trix, maybe that's your problem, ubuntu ultimate isn't supported here, it uses automatix which really isn't supported here because it causes problems
[02:52] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:52] <maynards-girl> Pelo, nickrud and the rest of the channel: thanks! I got it working. Gigantic group hug!
[02:52] <benanzo> Pelo: thanks
[02:52] <nickrud> Mishu: you'd be better off asking a crowd that's using putty, like windows
[02:52] <trix> no I caused the problem.
[02:52] <Mishu> Hmm
[02:52] <astro76> trix, you should use real ubuntu
[02:52] <Pelo> trix,  ok  stop using the enterkey for punctuation please
[02:52] <trix> everything was cool until I tried to patch the wireless
[02:52] <trix> so that I could use the monitor function
[02:52] <bobgill> how can I join .wmv files? ie., join 2 or more .wmv videos together to make one.. joining file2.wmv to end of file1.wmv, etc.
[02:53] <sizzam>  when i play WMV files in VLC, the video plays in the main window, but it also plays in a second window called "Xvideo output". is there a way to prevent playing in both windows?
[02:53] <trix> I was trying to follow a tutorial and it went horribly wrong.
[02:53] <nickrud> trix: try doing sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image<whatever> , that should reset you to the original module
[02:53] <Pelo> trix, ok so you don,t need to download any cd or dvd or anything linek that atm,  you just need to get the wireless working
[02:53] <wolferine> sizzam, does it play the movie in each window ?
[02:53] <trix> right right
[02:53] <sizzam> wolferine:  yes
[02:53] <wolferine> sizzam, how are you opening the file ?
[02:54] <dudeicles> WaltzingAlong: Here's one of my nicklist on Konversation- http://www.flickr.com/photos/8441470@N02/1383007467/in/photostream/
[02:54] <astro76> sizzam, did you happen to mess around in the settings?
[02:54] <sizzam> wolferine:  clicking the link from an embeded video on a webpage,  using the mediaplayerconnectivity extension in firefox
[02:54] <juwor> hi every one
[02:54] <sizzam> astro76:  using the default settings right now
[02:54] <WaltzingAlong> dudeicles: got kde on there? systemsettings / appearance / shade sorted column in lists, checked or not?
[02:54] <wolferine> sizzam, huh ?
[02:54] <OrTigaS> rafaelscj:  i didn't "network-managers" icon
[02:54] <dudeicles> i'll check
[02:54] <wolferine> !hi | juwor
[02:54] <ubotu> juwor: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:54] <OrTigaS> i can't see icon there
[02:54] <nickrud> sizzam: has that thing started working right? (I had nothing but trouble with it)
[02:55] <OrTigaS> i tried wireless its working
[02:55] <simplechat> hey
[02:55] <juwor> i had install my "lamp" on my debian but i dont have the /var/www folder
[02:55] <juwor> why ?
[02:55] <Pelo> juwor, make one
[02:55] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, it's near the clock
[02:55] <disclaimer> so, can anyone tell me how to choose an alternate kernel at the livecd start screen?
[02:55] <simplechat> i'm installing ubuntu server on a spare computer, and its crashing on install (installing lamp server, it simply shat its failed)
[02:55] <nickrud> juwor: if you have apache2 installed, you'll have that folder, it gets made during it's installation
[02:55] <Flannel> juwor: You ought to.  But, this isn't debian, you'll want to ask in #debian, they'll know for sure.
[02:55] <OrTigaS> oh
[02:55] <OrTigaS> ok
[02:55] <dudeicles> WaltzingAlong: I did that and it's still showing the same. should I reboot or something?
[02:55] <Pelo> disclaimer, alternate kernel ?
[02:56] <disclaimer> yea
[02:56] <juwor> yes i had apache 2
[02:56] <juwor> ok thanks Flannel
[02:56] <WaltzingAlong> dudeicles: have you changed the color scheme in kde as well?
[02:56] <Pelo> simplechat, do the cd integrity check , and try the cd in another computer
[02:56] <dudeicles> a few times.
[02:56] <Pelo> disclaimer, what do you mean alternate kernel ?
[02:56] <dudeicles> when I tried it again, it didn't fix it.
[02:56] <disclaimer> as in, i have a machine that doesn't boot *nix at all, and I want to see if mabee i could try a different kernel
[02:56] <OrTigaS> the network connection icon?
[02:56] <jmak642> so how well does this resize utility in the ubuntu installer handle ntfs?
[02:56] <simplechat> ok., i'll restart it then
[02:57] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, yes
[02:57] <nickrud> jmak642: for some people, it works great ...
[02:57] <OrTigaS> no information there
[02:57] <OrTigaS> i used 6.06
[02:57] <OrTigaS> only properties
[02:57] <disclaimer> i know slackware allows to choose from a crapload of kernels built for different stuff, IDE, SCSI, other stuff
[02:57] <simplechat> Pelo, the on cd integrity check?
[02:57] <BernieMac> jmak642, it works great if you can get it to run. Winblows had an error somewhere in my drive, I could only get gpart to partition
[02:57] <dudeicles> weirdest thing is that the nicklist in #Kubuntu is all messed up, but the nicklist here is fine.
[02:57] <dudeicles> LOL
[02:57] <jmak642> nickrud, so i should create a nice blank space on the drive some other way?
[02:57] <amr> what is ext4 and how it's beter than ext3
[02:57] <Pelo> disclaimer, not sure you can do that from a live cd,   in fact I'm pretty sure you can,T , and I don'T think you can do it from any of the ubuntu install cd alternate or dvd , mind hyou alternate and dvd can let you boot command line
[02:57] <WaltzingAlong> dudeicles: ;)
[02:57] <dudeicles> and all other channels after that
[02:57] <Pelo> simplechat,  yes from the boot menu
[02:58] <disclaimer> ohok then
[02:58] <disclaimer> D:
[02:58] <WaltzingAlong> amr: a different number does not mean better ;)
[02:58] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, :(
[02:58] <dudeicles> but when I open a dialog to upload a file and stuff it does it again
[02:58] <disclaimer> looks like i am stuck with windows on that box then
[02:58] <trix> Pelo: sorry about the <enter key> punctuation.  I'm all ears if you have any advice.  bruenig said ipw2200 was built into the kernel... and yet if I type modprobe ipw2200 it gives a FATAL ERROR
[02:58] <nickrud> jmak642: I got burned, could have been pebkac but I normally just backup and repartition as needed
[02:58] <Pelo> disclaimer, try the alternate install cd
[02:58] <jmak642> BernieMac, i am taking the time to defrag and chkdsk before i go trying anything
[02:58] <disclaimer> oh
[02:58] <WaltzingAlong> dudeicles: so for more or less all kde apps (or kde dialogs), right?
[02:58] <disclaimer> kk
[02:58] <wolferine> looking for customizing the Panels, what file is it stored in ?
[02:58] <OrTigaS> rafaelscj:  is it possible to block the mack add to prevent from using it for internet?
[02:58] <sizzam> wolferine:  it happens if i open the file from my desktop
[02:58] <Skyfalcon866> why does ext3 reserve 5% of the hard disk space
[02:58] <dudeicles> WaltzingAlong: correct
[02:58] <bruenig> trix, it is part of the kernel tree, I can see it right now, I certainly didn't install it
[02:59] <wolferine> sizzam, what does ?
[02:59] <BernieMac> jmak642, I did too, the ubuntu partitioner wouldn't do it, neither would partition magic
[02:59] <Pelo> trix, depending on how bad you messed it up you migth want to clean install , move the stuff in your /home to a seperate partiton so you don'T loose your settings and data
[02:59] <sizzam> wolferine:  my VLC issue
[02:59] <marshall> is it possible to run an existing windows partition in a virtual machine on ubuntu?
[02:59] <nickrud> wolferine: customize how?
[02:59] <OrTigaS> but when i used the wireless from our neigbor its working :)
[02:59] <dudeicles> maybe my video card driver is acting weird?
[02:59] <Pelo> Skyfalcon866, journaling
[02:59] <wolferine> nickrud, anything I like
[02:59] <dudeicles> maybe something I installed is acting weird?
[02:59] <jmak642> nickrud, i have paragon partition manager, its worked for me well in the past
[02:59] <dudeicles> is there a way to see what the last few programs installed were?
[02:59] <wolferine> nickrud, anything, being it all
[02:59] <Pelo> marshall, yes but it is a mess since you need to crack the autorization
[02:59] <nickrud> wolferine: code, mostly. What's exposed you can see in gconf-editor at /apps/panel
[03:00] <simplechat> oktanouc, i have a bad checksum
[03:00] <simplechat> i reburn?
[03:00] <WaltzingAlong> dudeicles: i would concentrate on the kde appearance settings; the colors, the schemes, the contrast
[03:00] <BernieMac> jmak642, the formatting portion worked really well for me once I had the unallocated space from gpart
[03:00] <jmak642> nickrud, BernieMac i have too much data to realistically make a backup of
[03:00] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, try in terminal > ifconfig
[03:00] <marshall> pelo: crack the authorization of what?
[03:00] <dudeicles> hmmm
[03:00] <OrTigaS> and?.....
[03:00] <nickrud> jmak642: then pick up another drive, if you can't backup. Seriously
[03:00] <jmak642> BernieMac, gparted?
[03:01] <simplechat> where would i find the sums of the iso's?
[03:01] <BernieMac> jmak642, yeah, sorry left off the ed
[03:01] <Pelo> marshall,  of windows,   a vm counts as different hardware,  and windows checks and wants to re-autorise, and if you reboot the real windows it wants to reautorise again because the hardware as changed , etc etc
[03:01] <simplechat> ?
[03:02] <jmak642> nickrud, i have another drive, but its my work laptop.  i backed up my data, but i dont feel like kirkin with ghost and all this to get it back
[03:02] <wolferine> nickrud, isnt there an XML file which hold the information, this wont allow me to configure as much as I like
[03:02] <marshall> pelo: ah.. that does sound messy
[03:02] <nickrud> simplechat: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/
[03:02] <eamonnd> I'm having a problem with compiz, my 3d cube effect and that film strip thing stopped working
[03:02] <jmak642> nickrud, as far as restoring the system and program files
[03:02] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, I think you will abble to know it DNS's IP
[03:02] <nickrud> wolferine: at ~/.gconf/apps/panel
[03:02] <trix> I think what I probably did was a badly screwed up an attempt to upgrade the ipw2200 module and now something gets loaded that points to the wrong place.  I'm not too worried about backing up.  there's not much to back up as this is a pretty new install.
[03:02] <Pelo> marshall,  do a search in digg for  vmware windows partition  there was a guide a few months ago
[03:02] <OrTigaS> ok.. let me check
[03:02] <WaltzingAlong> dudeicles: systemsettings / appearance / colors - then in the drop down along the right-hand side, find alterate background in lists; which color is that?
[03:02] <jmak642> nickrud, so really what i am after is my odds
[03:03] <marshall> pelo: all right
[03:03] <dudeicles> looking now
[03:03] <nickrud> jmak642: I got screwed. A data point only :)
[03:03] <OrTigaS> if i ifconfig it shows only eth1 and lo
[03:03] <OrTigaS> no eth0
[03:03] <nickrud> wolferine: but, that's the same data set with gconf-editor, it's a specialized xml editor
[03:04] <jmak642> i am itching to build an iscsi san to store my data
[03:04] <OrTigaS> my lan cable is connected
[03:04] <wolferine> nickrud, yeah, I can see that, i want to remove the Places and System dropdowns
[03:04] <simplechat> nickrud, where inside it? theres a file listing
[03:04] <wolferine> but they arent located in there
[03:04] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, argh
[03:04] <BernieMac> jmak642, me and 2 other people resized (one a 40gb, one an 80gb, and one a 400gb) and no data was lost. Maybe we got lucky...
[03:04] <dudeicles> WaltzingAlong: nope. lol
[03:04] <] [AnThOnY] [> where download beta 7.10?
[03:04] <nickrud> wolferine: that would be in the menu-bar applet, not the panel itself
[03:05] <simplechat> ah, found it
[03:05] <Pelo> anthony ask in #ubuntu+1
[03:05] <wolferine> direction ?

[03:06] <Pelo> simplechat, get the one from the site
[03:06] <Matthew_> Pelo, this is a private server for just my use

[03:06] <simplechat> *redl it
[03:06] <nickrud> wolferine: I get rid of that, and use the menu applet, it's a lot smaller. I run only one panel
[03:06] <wolferine> yeah
[03:06] <Fink> MAthew_ still..no...just no
[03:06] <wolferine> but I still want to edit it
[03:06] <_MrLinux-> hy
[03:07] <Matthew_> well i need an account where i can atleast edit the root part of my apache directory
[03:07] <wolferine> nickrud, oh wait, what are you talking about :)
[03:07] <MrLinux> I need some help..
[03:07] <Professor> gota quick question, which is better vmware, or virtual box
[03:07] <nickrud> replacing the menubar applet with the menu applet
[03:07] <zith_> i have a wlan with WEP here, and using debian, network-manager can connect just fine to it, but ubuntu just wont
[03:07] <zith_> it sees it, and asks me for a password, but then it cant connect
[03:07] <jrib> Professor: I like virtualbox, but some will recommend vmware for windows
[03:07] <Pelo> MrLinux, ask a question
[03:07] <wolferine> Menu Bar with Main Menu you mean
[03:07] <zith_> has anyone had this problem?
[03:08] <Pelo> !root | Matthew_
[03:08] <wolferine> nickrud, yeah, but I still cannot configure that entirely, once its in place
[03:08] <ubotu> Matthew_: 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
[03:08] <rafaelscj> could anyone get XMMS Singit working?
[03:08] <MrLinux> Pelo, I have an' iBook DUAL USB g3

[03:11] <Pelo> MrLinux,  yes,  you can dl one from the ubuntu site , select ppc for your architecture
[03:11] <nickrud> wolferine: go to packages.ubuntu.com , look up the package the menubar applet is in, then that package will tell you the source package
[03:11] <Flannel> MrLinux: cdimage.ubuntu.com
[03:11] <juwor> sorry but there is some one ho knows a chanel to know people???
[03:11] <wolferine> roger that
[03:11] <Pelo> Matthew_,  in ubuntu you use sudo to run commands as root ,  that will give the command admin priviledges to you can edit what ever you want
[03:12] <dudeicles> exit
[03:12] <dudeicles> whoops
[03:12] <Pelo> Matthew_,  it is safer then root because it doesn'T leave the computer open , it is just good for taht command

[03:14] <Matthew_> pike_ im a hardcore windows user, just learning linux now

[03:15] <Matthew_> mneptok why not?
[03:15] <amr>  hallo, how to enable mp3 preview in nautilus of gusty????!!!!! please help??????
[03:15] <mneptok> Matthew_: FTP was cool. in 1984.
[03:15] <pike_> Matthew_: actaully ive never set it up i always do user accounts thats why i use ssh instead of ftp. will ssh work for you? you can use sftp and winscp is like a ftp client use scp and sftp for windows
[03:15] <Flannel> amr: #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy support, thanks
[03:15] <mneptok> Matthew_: because it transmits all your credentials in cleartext?
[03:15] <nickrud> wolferine: I'm not sure what it's in, maybe the panel source, or one of the applet sources. You could always look around cvs at gnome.org
[03:15] <wolferine> true
[03:15] <Matthew_> pike_ i have ssh server setup and running in putty right now
[03:15] <don_pucci> hey all...how do i update feisty to gutsy
[03:15] <wolferine> this page doesnt help though O_O
[03:15] <danyboy> I updated my programs and some how i cannot select any button to turn off my pc... anyone here knows what he problem could be??
[03:15] <mneptok> Matthew_: so then use Filezilla
[03:15] <wolferine> i hope its svn not cvs :O
[03:15] <pike_> Matthew_: that wasnt very clear.. winscp is a windows app its alot like cuteftp or other ftp clients but uses ssh
[03:16] <nickrud> oh, it's moved up in the world :)
[03:16] <seraph34> well that was quite a fight
[03:16] <don_pucci> nick..do u know how?
[03:16] <Matthew_> pike_ ssh server is setup on my ubuntu server machine, im using putty on my windows xp desktop to control the server
[03:16] <NemesisD> is there any way to get ubuntu to stop showing icons of my 2 windows drives on the desktop? i hate a cluttered desktop
[03:16] <MrLinux> Flannel , thanks alot bro.
[03:16] <wolferine> Dr_willis_, you should write winscp for linux :P
[03:16] <nickrud> don_pucci: ask on ubuntu+1
[03:16] <pike_> Matthew_: then if ya download winscp you shouldnt need to set anythin up
[03:16] <Fink> yay! finnaly gparted works
[03:16] <Creed> How do I install or enable epoll on ubuntu server?
[03:16] <Dr_willis_> wolferine,  gnome/kde both have a similer feature.. :) or i use sshfs
[03:17] <Matthew_> pike_ what is winscp for
[03:17] <wolferine> Fink, its always worked :)
[03:17] <MrLinux> Pelo, another question..
[03:17] <Professor> hasd anyone had any good luck with broadcom wireless cards
[03:17] <wolferine> sshfs
[03:17] <Pelo> MrLinux, ask
[03:17] <wolferine> never heard of it
[03:17] <MrLinux> Pelo, I want to install wine on my ibook.. tru Ubuntu, is that posible ?
[03:17] <danyboy> I updated my programs and some how i cannot select any button to turn off my pc... anyone here knows what he problem could be??
[03:17] <Pelo> MrLinux,  yes
[03:17] <MrLinux> Pelo, realy ??
[03:18] <Dr_willis_> dannyboy79,  clarify 'select any  button' You see buttons that cant click on them? or what.
[03:18] <MrLinux> Pelo, for PPC , not Intel
[03:18] <Matthew_> pike_ what is winscp
[03:18] <Fink> wolferine: not for me
[03:18] <Pelo> MrLinux, I don'T think it matters
[03:18] <pike_> Matthew_: its like an ftp client but it uses your ssh server. ftp is difficult to secure properly ssh imo is much easier and more newbie friendly. there is pure-admin and pureftpd though if ya must have ftp pureadmin is a gui frontend to pureftpd
[03:18] <MrLinux> Pelo, .. are you sure abaout that ??
[03:18] <wolferine> Fink,  was it an i.d. 10-t error ?
[03:18] <Pelo> MrLinux, I can'T find a ppc version of 7.04 , sorry
[03:18] <Matthew_> pike_ is pureftpd a service i need to install to my machine
[03:19] <MrLinux> Pelo, I have it, and downloading it now
[03:19] <Pelo> MrLinux, I'm pretty sure wine is not hardware dependent
[03:19] <danyboy> I updated my programs and some how i cannot select any button to turn off my pc... anyone here knows what he problem could be??
[03:19] <Xenguy> Matthew_: also vsftpd
[03:19] <pike_> Matthew_: yeah its an ftp server. pureadmin is the gui front end to configure it
[03:19] <Fink> wolferine: no i would leave iyt for hours on end and it would just sit there, orange bar moving back, and forth
[03:19] <nickrud> Pelo: instruction set dependent, yes
[03:19] <Fink> but now it was done in like 50 min
[03:19] <pike_> Matthew_: ive never used i just noticed it in the repos
[03:19] <Pelo> MrLinux,  you can try asking in #winehq if you can do it
[03:19] <MrLinux> Pelo, .. I have Mac OS X 10.4.10 on my ibook , and I get the wine for ppc and no response..
[03:19] <sdouble> is there a command line volume control?
[03:19] <wolferine> Fink, never heard of that error?
[03:19] <Matthew_> xenguy,pike_, do i need to install pureftpd and vsftpd
[03:19] <Pelo> MrLinux,  you can try asking in #winehq if you can do it
[03:20] <Xenguy> Matthew_: 2 different ftp servers, so no
[03:20] <Fink> wolferine: it wasnt an error, just didnt work
[03:20] <pike_> Matthew_: no one or the other see below link:
[03:20] <Matthew_> xenguy which do i install then
[03:20] <MrLinux> Pelo, yes, now i'm asking thanks bro
[03:20] <pike_> !ftp | Matthew_
[03:20] <ubotu> Matthew_: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd
[03:20] <Thor> =/
[03:20] <MrLinux> and look
[03:20] <wolferine> Fink, ahh
[03:20] <pike_> !ftpd | Matthew_
[03:20] <ubotu> Matthew_: FTP servers: !ftpd, !proftpd, !pure-ftpd, !twoftpd, !vsftpd, !MuddleFTPd, !wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: !PureAdmin, !GProftpd (for !GNOME), !KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP
[03:20] <Matthew_> pike_ which server is the best in your opinion to install
[03:20] <Fink> wolferine: im guessing now i didnt defrag and i had buttloads of junk  on it so im guessing that was just taking to long
[03:21] <Thor> how do i undo this command:  gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop false
[03:21] <Xenguy> Matthew_: you could type: apt-cache show vsftpd, and see a description
[03:21] <wolferine> i think you need to look more closely at that error :)
[03:21] <seraph34> need wireless help/drivers for RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01) running on MSI MegaBook L715
[03:21] <nickrud> what, no ncftp
[03:21] <pike_> Matthew_: ive only used vsftpd but it is all command line the only front end i know of is pureadmin
[03:21] <Fink> Thor: gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop true?
[03:21] <Thor> i tried to set it to "true" but it hasn't renabled my desktop

[03:21] <danyboy> any body here that can help me, i just made the automatic updates.. and now i cannot turn of my computer... anybody??
[03:21] <Xenguy> pike_: yeah, text files I think
[03:21] <Matthew_> pike_ then i would need pureftpd and pureadmin?
[03:21] <nickrud> Thor: killall nautilus if you set it correctly
[03:21] <Pelo> MrLinux, when are you getting this ?
[03:21] <pike_> Matthew_: yeah. if thats what you want
[03:22] <danyboy> any body here that can help me, i just made the automatic updates.. and now i cannot turn of my computer... anybody??
[03:22] <nickrud> Thor: you can also go to that key with gconf-editor, a graphical interface
[03:22] <Pelo> danyboy, sudo reboot
[03:22] <Thor> the website i got it from: http://geekhacks.com/2007/09/13/screensaver-as-a-desktop-wallpaper/    explains on how to set a screensaver to your wallpaper
[03:22] <Matthew_> pike_ can i sudo apt-get install xxx this?

[03:22] <dannyboy79> danyboy: sudo shutdown -r now
[03:22] <danyboy> Pelo, yeah but that just restarts it...
[03:22] <Pelo> MrLinux, what are you doing when you get those errors ?
[03:23] <Thor> nickrud ill see if i can find it in gconf
[03:23] <Pelo> danyboy, sudo shutdown
[03:23] <danyboy> Plo, but do you know why i can select it manually
[03:23] <nickrud> Thor: the exact same path
[03:23] <pike_> Matthew_: yes. also you can apt-cache search somesearchterm   to search for packages you can apt-get install or just use the package manager synaptic
[03:23] <danyboy> Pelo, but do you know why i can select it manually
[03:23] <don_pucci> thx nick
[03:23] <BernieMac> danyboy, try restarting. it may just work itself out
[03:23] <Pelo> danyboy, I think you probably need to check your user's permission setting  probably got borked for some reason
[03:23] <danyboy> Pwlo, i mean why is th button gone??
[03:23] <MrLinux> Pelo, I just boot up the CD , just that :|
[03:23] <nickrud> don_pucci: and be sure to repeat that last command about 3 times, seriously ;)
[03:24] <don_pucci> k

[03:30] <tonynlisa> What is the CLI command that will tell me the total space used in a directory recrusively?
[03:30] <nickrud> karhu: then not so easy. You'd have to backup your home.    to get the same package selection,   do   dpkg --get-selections > mypackages.list  then after you reinstall :)  sudo dpkg --set-selections && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade
[03:30] <johnficc1> I type root (hd1,0) and it says Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
[03:30] <danyboy> Pelo, amm but in user permissions how do i check if something is wrong??, where do i look first
[03:30] <pike_> johnficc1: hd1,0 is hdb1 is that the right partition?
[03:30] <BernieMac> zith_, yes way
[03:31] <johnficc1> its sdb1
[03:31] <zith_> cool, thanks
[03:31] <karhu> nickrud ok so then i just have to reinstall like normal there is no upgrade option like with windows etc ??
[03:31] <nickrud> karhu: and, when you do, give ubuntu 10-12gb , and make the rest a small swap and the rest home. No, it's reinstall only
[03:31] <BernieMac> zith_, no prob
[03:31] <pike_> tonynlisa: du -ach dir/  or somesuch
[03:32] <karhu> nickrud ok mate thanks for that does anyone have any experience with 64bit ubuntu ?? is it any good ??
[03:32] <johnficc1> pike_: does it matter if it is mounted or not?
[03:32] <pike_> johnficc1: that seems right..
[03:32] <scalawag> karhu...I'm using it
[03:32] <nickrud> karhu: if you are really adventurous, and have a decent disk size, make about 3 or 4 of those 12gb partitions to install various linux's side by side.
[03:32] <pike_> johnficc1: no not for that
[03:32] <Thor> thx nickrud it works now
[03:32] <nickrud> karhu: it's not really any better for a desktop machine, and less so in binary compatibility
[03:33] <karhu> nickrud even other distro's ?? fedora etc ??
[03:33] <pike_> karhu: cool thing about that is you can have one /home partition for all of em and keep all you configs
[03:33] <tonynlisa> TY
[03:33] <Bassxman1> hey...im having that sound problem again!  Can anyone help?
[03:33] <nickrud> Thor: yw. You were badly out of sync, those changes are meant to be instant apply
[03:33] <nickrud> karhu: exactly
[03:33] <johnficc1> pike_: should I try in a live cd
[03:33] <johnficc1> ?
[03:34] <pike_> johnficc1: i dont think it will make a difference
[03:34] <karhu> nickrud what about progs i've installed myself ?? eg. i installed urban terror will doing those commands reinstall all that too ??
[03:34] <pike_> anyone else here installed grub on memorycards? ^^ help johnficc1 out?
[03:34] <mrksbrd> anyone here good w/wifi cards????
[03:35] <nickrud> karhu: exactly like pike said, I have my apache root on the home partition, as well as svn. Carries over very nicely. If you installed them in home, you'll have a backup. Otherwise, back up where they are, and possibly
[03:35] <nickrud> *the games
[03:36] <johnficc1> Disk /dev/sdb: 4071 MB, 4071481344 bytes
[03:36] <johnficc1> 64 heads, 62 sectors/track, 2004 cylinders

[03:36] <karhu> nickrud nah i mean with my current setup u told me a few commands to save my settings and stuff will that keep my urban terror install also or will i need to get it all again
[03:36] <booster_> heyguys....can anyone tell me were i can get help with compiz-fousin ?? like an IRC channel or something like that
[03:36] <johnficc1> thats what fdisk says about it
[03:36] <drifterz_> can someone tell me the difference between XChat and XChat-gnome. Which should I use they are both in the install/remove apps
[03:37] <nickrud> karhu: the last sentence was about the games. I would have installed them into my home partition, with nothing outside it. Then I could. I don't know how you installed yours, so possibly
[03:37] <booster_> are you running gnome or kde ??
[03:37] <Fink> drifterz_ one is for gnome, the other is just general to em all
[03:37] <PKdoR> is shockwave available for linux?
[03:37] <pike_> johnficc1: you understand that you wont be installing the mbr portion to hdb1 but to hdb right?
[03:37] <Grleaf> drifterz the gui
[03:37] <hhp21> Pelo, are you still here?
[03:37] <johnficc1> pike_: I don't get it
[03:37] <bruenig> drifterz_, xchat-gnome is what xchat would look like if it were a burn victim
[03:37] <pike_> johnficc1: try not to paste more than 2 lines it can flood channel
[03:37] <Fink> PXdoR: idk...why dont you see for yourself... google.com
[03:37] <johnficc1> pike_: ok
[03:38] <nickrud> lol, xchat-dwarf you mean
[03:38] <PKdoR> i cant find it in the repos and on the homapage ither
[03:38] <Grleaf> anyone else install ubuntu and it don't make a root account?
[03:38] <johnficc1> pike_: its sdb
[03:38] <nickrud> !root | Grleaf
[03:38] <ubotu> Grleaf: 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
[03:38] <karhu> nickrud nah i didnt so i spose my easiest option would be a fresh install but make sure i make a home partition this time then i will b rite
[03:38] <Bassxman1> hey...im having that sound problem again!  Can anyone help?
[03:38] <Dr_willis_> Grleaf,  Everyone :)
[03:38] <Grleaf> cra0
[03:38] <booster_> does anyone in here use compiz fousin in here/.???
[03:38] <Grleaf> crap even
[03:38] <Dr_willis_> Grleaf,  thats how ubuntu is.  use your firstuser and 'sudo'
[03:39] <pike_> johnficc1: well root (hd0,1) is the partition on which your grub dir is  after that youd typically setup (hd0) or whatever to write the mbr the first 512 bytes of the device not the partition the stuff on the partition is what the mbr is going to load. thats my understanding anyway
[03:39] <Grleaf> i installed ubuntu and i can't get into root
[03:39] <Dr_willis_> Grleaf,  crap? no... its a feature. :)
[03:39] <Tom47> !sudo > grleaf
[03:39] <Grleaf> and i'm sitten at the puter
[03:39] <Grleaf> hehe
[03:39] <MrLinux> who is free ?
[03:39] <MrLinux> I need to ask something
[03:39] <Dr_willis_> sudo -s for a root shell
[03:39] <nickrud> karhu: yes. And whenever you install a game, be sure to put every bit of it under home/you.  Make a /home/you/bin directory, and put all the executable parts there. Ubuntu will find them automatically
[03:39] <Dr_willis_> sudo whatevercommandyouwanttorunasroot
[03:39] <Dr_willis_> :)
[03:39] <johnficc1> pike_: so what do you think I should type?
[03:39] <rahwa> anybody down? i'm set to become a millionaire and i got the ideas for sure, i don't know about you
[03:39] <bruenig> you need root for some things though
[03:39] <DjViper> MrLinux: just ask
[03:40] <karhu> nickrud if i create a home partition will ubuntu just use that instead of the regular /home folder ??
[03:40] <Dr_willis_> bruenig,  thats been argued to death in here befor. :) never proven.
[03:40] <Fink> rahwa: make a linux site with dsense and a donate button
[03:40] <pike_> johnficc1: im guessing youve written some files to hdb1 so that it has its own / /usr /boot  and stuff is that right?
[03:40] <Fink> *adsense
[03:40] <dero_> Anyone got time to answer a quick question?
[03:40] <bruenig> Dr_willis_, slim login manager
[03:40] <johnficc1> pike_: yes
[03:40] <Tom47> !ask > dero
[03:40] <amr> to change root password sudo passwd root
[03:40] <rahwa> Fink: that won't pay much :)
[03:40] <BernieMac> !ask | dero_
[03:40] <ubotu> dero_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:40] <Dr_willis_> bruenig,  and it always starts a large fight.. so i aint even starting. :)
[03:40] <amr> sudo passwd root
[03:40] <Fink> rahwa: then why are you in the linux channel?
[03:41] <dero_> How would I go about, extracting a rar from inside a jpg image?
[03:41] <amr> hey i am compiz-dusion user
[03:41] <nickrud> karhu: use the alternate install cd, and when it comes time to make your partitions, name the largest /home . Ubuntu will use it automatically
[03:41] <hhp21> Hey guys.. still having a problem with sudo apt-get update. I ran dpkg --configure -a in recovery mode as someone else in here told me to do, and it froze the computer again like last time. I seriously don't know what to do, and I need my updater to start working again. :( Can -anyone- help?
[03:41] <Dr_willis_> setting roots password is a 'test' if you know enough linux to do it.. then ya hopefully know enough to know why its a bad idea.
[03:41] <bruenig> Dr_willis_, this isn't even arguable, you can't shutdown/restart from slim login manager without a root password
[03:41] <amr> booster_ i use it
[03:41] <pike_> johnficc1: then your doing it correctly. it should detect the partition at least in any case. id try root (sd1,0)  but ive only ever used ide devices so i dunno
[03:41] <bruenig> Dr_willis_, not many use slim, but still its there
[03:41] <amr> booster_ i use compiz fusion
[03:41] <karhu> nickrud bah i already have the regular install cd's lol can i do it with them ??
[03:41] <Dr_willis_> bruenig,  sounds like a issue with the program to me.. but i dont use it.. so its a pointless discussion.
[03:41] <bruenig> it is not an issue, it is designed that way
[03:42] <nickrud> karhu: more explicitly, make /home the mount point for that disk.  And the regular, I don't know. I never use them to install.
[03:42] <MrLinux> DjViper, I can run .avi files on Ubuntu ? (I have a ibook PPC) what codesc do i need ?
[03:42] <booster_> amr can you help me set it up...i have it installed i just cant seem to get it to work
[03:42] <nickrud> karhu: gotta go eat, bbl
[03:42] <booster_> ive had beryl working be4
[03:42] <karhu> nickrud oh ok i'll give it a go thanks for the help
[03:42] <amr> booster_ ok but what version of linux ubuntu u use?
[03:42] <booster_> i cant get compiz fousin to do the cube
[03:42] <riotkittie> i'm looking into wpasupplicant and finding myself totally confused. :(
[03:43] <dero_> Feel free to tell me anything
[03:43] <DjViper> MrLinux: xvid codec
[03:43] <MrLinux> DjViper, ?
[03:43] <riotkittie> booster_: try #ubuntu-effects
[03:43] <booster_> im running ubuntu 7.04
[03:43] <DjViper> MrLinux: but you should rather just get vlc, www.videolan.org
[03:43] <pike_> booster_: /join #ubuntu-effects   its dedicated to 3d stuff
[03:43] <Fink> MrLinux: google it
[03:43] <booster_> ok thanks
[03:43] <dero_> Thanks anyways. Appreciate what you guys do here btw.
[03:43] <norty> i just installed ubuntu, im trying to get apps, i use to use xp and winamp for mp3s, whats the best music player for ubuntu?
[03:44] <amr> booster_ go ro terminal and try "uname -a" and post it here
[03:44] <bruenig> !best | norty
[03:44] <ubotu> norty: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[03:44] <pike_> norty: if you want winamp classic like you want either xmms or beep
[03:44] <cdm10> norty: well, try Rhythmbox, it's built in.
[03:44] <pike_> !restricted | norty
[03:44] <ubotu> norty: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[03:44] <riotkittie> norty: the best is whatever one you declare it to be.   if you like winamp, try xmms or bmp...
[03:44] <MrLinux> DjViper, i want to play mp3's with totem .. or one programe
[03:44] <cdm10> norty: to get mp3s to work, you'll need to double-click an mp3 file first to get it to install the drivers.
[03:44] <pike_> norty: see that link youll need to install codecs for multimedia stuff
[03:44] <booster_> booster@booster-desktop:~$ uname -a
[03:44] <booster_> Linux booster-desktop 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Fri Aug 31 00:55:27 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[03:44] <booster_> booster@booster-desktop:~$
[03:45] <DjViper> MrLinux: what does that have to do with .avi files?
[03:45] <bruenig> cdm10, codecs
[03:45] <MrLinux> DjViper, i can listen to mp3 and watch movies..
[03:45] <scalawag> how do I upgrade to apache 2.0 on feisty fawn?
[03:45] <cdm10> bruenig: damn, sorry 'bout that
[03:45] <MrLinux> DjViper, I need codecs.. for that
[03:45] <scalawag> sorry...wrong channel
[03:45] <riotkittie> bmp = beep media player, btw. it and xmms are similar to older versions of winamp. i think beep is better, appearance-wise, tho.
[03:45] <MrLinux> DjViper, please tell me where to get codecs, or apt-get install it ..
[03:45] <Hodapp> Beep came from XMMS
[03:46] <johnficc1> grub> root (sd1,0)
[03:46] <johnficc1> Error 23: Error while parsing number
[03:46] <BernieMac> MrLinux, the gstreamer 10 codecs should do it
[03:46] <Fink> MrLinux: have you ever heard of google.com ? its a really great website, maybe you should try it sometime
[03:46] <riotkittie> will wpasupplicant work with an adapter with a ralink chipset, using ralink's drivers? :\
[03:46] <DjViper> Fink: try to help people instead of telling them to use google you tool
[03:46] <Xero> Fink: That's not very Ubuntu like.
[03:46] <Xero> !google
[03:46] <MrLinux> Fink, :) I know
[03:46] <ubotu> Google is a very popular search engine: http://www.google.com  -  Google also has a Linux-specific search engine: http://google.com/linux

[03:47] <Dr_willis_> !lol
[03:47] <ubotu> lol is Please don't use lol and omg and so forth on a regular basis. this is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel thanks
[03:47] <kbrooks> i'm suspicious, because i lost battery status, altho it does have a percentage. what to do?
[03:47] <Dr_willis_> I think the bots lol message was more annoying then lol.
[03:47] <DjViper> kbrooks: maybe it's fullly charged?
[03:48] <cdm10> Dr_willis_: QUITE POSSIBLY
[03:48] <cdm10> DAMN
[03:48] <cdm10> sorry 'bout the caps
[03:48] <Dr_willis_> cdm10,  i woudl go LOL about that.. but know better. ;)
[03:48] <kbrooks> DjViper, nope
[03:48] <riotkittie> man. i had it so good with wireless on my laptop. i had noooooo idea. worked out of the box, could connect to my private network. :|
[03:48] <newpers> is there a site that lists all of the feisty backports?
[03:48] <cdm10> newpers: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[03:48] <cdm10> newpers: it lists all the repos
[03:48] <newpers> cdm10: thanks

[03:57] <mneptok> !info bin2iso
[03:57] <ubotu> Package bin2iso does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[03:57] <drifterz_> pepsi: do that than do apt-get upgrade or just use synaptic from system menu in gnome
[03:57] <craigbass1976> I've never had this happen... Ubuntu won't detect an ethernet card.  Any ideas?  I'm pretty well screwed if I can't make THIS work
[03:58] <riotkittie> craigbass1976: not showing up in lspci?
[03:58] <DjViper> hhp21: /var/log/dmesg
[03:58] <dimas_> how can i make windows(virtual platform)  find hardware from vmware server if the hardware are hold by ubuntu (main platform) perhaps the speakers (sound)
[03:58] <EJ> how do i access my USB flash drive from console ?
[03:58] <riotkittie> EJ > do you have it mounted?
[03:58] <DjViper> EJ: is it mounted?
[03:59] <DjViper> heh
[03:59] <mneptok> !info bchunk | fungos
[03:59] <craigbass1976> riotkittie, It does.  It'sa realtek rtl8111/8168b PCI Express gigabit
[03:59] <ubotu> fungos: bchunk: CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-4 (feisty), package size 13 kB, installed size 68 kB
[03:59] <DjViper> !mount | EJ
[03:59] <ubotu> EJ: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[03:59] <riotkittie> craigbass1976: its not showing under ifconfig?
[03:59] <Matthew_> i installed xorg how do i remote view the gui now?
[03:59] <EJ> [ DjViper] : no i dont, 1 sec
[03:59] <DjViper> Matthew_: get vnc
[03:59] <Matthew_> i did sudo apt-get install vncserver
[03:59] <drifterz_> So do you advanced users out there prefer to use aptitude or add/remove or compile your own programs? Also what are the advantages to each method like automatic updates and such?
[03:59] <Matthew_> do i need to do anything else djviper?
[03:59] <lowlux> how do i get the new gaim? whatever its called?
[03:59] <mneptok> drifterz_: use apt-get or Synaptic
[04:00] <DjViper> Matthew_: you might have to start it, and configure the server etc
[04:00] <craigbass1976> riotkittie, It shows up there too, but using two different cat5 cables, it still wont get an address, and setting manually with ifconfig still won't get me on the network
[04:00] <DjViper> Matthew_: I haven't used vnc in a while
[04:00] <mneptok> lowlux: wait for Gutsy. Pidgin is included.
[04:00] <Disorganized> evening kids :D
[04:00] <Fink> Mathew_: install the vnc client on the client machine?
[04:00] <DjViper> Matthew_: btw you shouldn't have vnc nor xorg running on a server, drains resources
[04:00] <lowlux> is Gutsy easy to install? or do i have to wipe out everything?
[04:01] <mneptok> lowlux: it will be an easy upgrade
[04:01] <DjViper> Matthew_: it's fine to use it when you need it, but...
[04:01] <mneptok> lowlux: just mait ~1 month until release
[04:01] <riotkittie> craigbass1976: given you're online, i suppose it's safe to assume your internet's not out. hmm. are you behind a router? hw firewall?
[04:01] <mneptok> *wait
[04:01] <hhp21> DjViper: There doesn't appear to be anything in that log relating to my problem.
[04:01] <DjViper> hhp21: check the older logs
[04:01] <Matthew_> DjViper what is package uninstall command?
[04:01] <DjViper> hhp21: dmesg.0 etc
[04:01] <norty> is there any way to disable the beeping sound coming from your comp when you hit tab in the terminal?
[04:01] <riotkittie> Matthew_: sudo apt-get remove <pkg name>
[04:01] <DjViper> Matthew_: apt-get remove
[04:02] <riotkittie> norty: excellent question. <crosses hands under chin and eagerly awaits an answer>
[04:02] <bruenig> norty, yeah there is something you can put in xorg.conf I believe
[04:02] <drifterz_> mneptok: is there a logic behind this? Since i'm not exactly thrilled with the restrictions that apptitude provides such as not being able to get latest versions of software.
[04:02] <norty> its really really annoying
[04:02] <dimas_> how can i make windows which is a platform ran as a secondary on virtual machine server on ubuntu to recognize hardware from it
[04:02] <mneptok> drifterz_: there are many. they are well documented.
[04:02] <craigbass1976> riotkittie, I've got my onw CentOS router/firewall running this side of the dsl modem.  I plugged the laptop in question into my wireless router (which is just an access point either wired or wireless--I plug all sorts of computers into it and am running wireless on my own laptop right now)
[04:02] <Matthew_> how do i change current directory and return to default directory
[04:02] <pike_> norty: you should try using konsole with sound effects on :)
[04:03] <EJ> !fstab
[04:03] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[04:03] <bruenig> drifterz_, you can compile your own stuff if you want it
[04:03] <Xero> Eff stab?
[04:03] <pike_> Matthew_: cd  by itself
[04:03] <DjViper> EJ: mounted yet?
[04:03] <mneptok> drifterz_: give me an example of such software?
[04:03] <hhp21> DjViper: I don't see anything in that one either, and I don't think there's any others. :S
[04:03] <Xero> I wouldn't want my Eff to be stabbed.
[04:03] <norty> also, is there a way for me to make my mp3s automatically play with MP when i double click them?
[04:03] <craigbass1976> Matthew_, you mean to your home directory?  just cd by itsef will take you there
[04:03] <DjViper> hhp21: hmm, then you should probably make a post of this on the forum, this seems to be quite serious
[04:03] <bruenig> drifterz_, there are other distributions which keep up to date stuff in the repositories if you prefer that
[04:03] <junkeR> hey, when is fluxbuntu coming?
[04:03] <drifterz_> I have to use apache and webmin for a school assignment and can get newer versions from main sites.
[04:04] <riotkittie> ahh. i'm basically useless when it comes to network issues :\
[04:04] <hhp21> DjViper: Probably a good idea.. thanks.
[04:04] <pike_> Matthew_: is a link youll want to bookmark https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[04:04] <DjViper> hhp21: it's probably some hardware incompatability issue
[04:04] <nickrud> norty: settings -> current profile, unset the terminal bell, or some such
[04:04] <mneptok> drifterz_: webmin? are you kidding me? :)
[04:04] <craigbass1976> riotkittie, I'm usually not, which is what's bugging me...
[04:04] <EJ> [ DjViper] : no not yet, i tried and it told me procbususb was mounted but i dont think thats what i am trying to do, usb is listed in mtab though but not fstab, i run lsusb and the device is detected as well
[04:04] <mneptok> drifterz_: does this school also teach how to eat a pistol? ;)
[04:04] <DjViper> EJ: okay
[04:04] <icecool> hey does anyone have a solution to this problem with K-3D
[04:04] <icecool> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=502862&highlight=k3d
[04:05] <mneptok> drifterz_: what version of apache do you need?
[04:05] <riotkittie> craigbass1976: heh. dont let it bug you. from the sound of things, there's no logical reason it *shouldn't* be working.
[04:05] <norty> nickrud, where is settings
[04:05] <norty> lol
[04:05] <lowlux> what are some ways to secure myself?
[04:05] <drifterz_> bruenig: interesting which distros are these and is debian one of these?
[04:05] <lowlux> how do i lock a folder with a password?
[04:05] <nickrud> norty: ah, I looked: edit -> current profile, first page
[04:05] <Fink> lowlux: permissions?
[04:05] <norty> where is edit?
[04:06] <nickrud> norty: on the menu bar
[04:06] <craigbass1976> lowlux, I'm not sure.  I'd jsut change the permissions with chmod so only I can read it
[04:06] <EJ> DjViper wnat is the mount comand ? I think thats all i need, then it will be listed in my media dir .... i think lol
[04:06] <drifterz_> mneptok: what is wrong with webmin? Apache may of been up to date but webmin I believe was not.
[04:06] <norty> under System?
[04:06] <bruenig> drifterz_, arch and gentoo are the most prominent of these, debian is not
[04:06] <nickrud> norty: in the terminal!
[04:06] <lowlux> i want it so when you click on it you have to enter a password..
[04:06] <riotkittie> no, in the terminal
[04:06] <pike_> lowlux: if its in your home dir you can chmod 700 dir/  thatll prevent anyone but you and root from reading it
[04:06] <bruenig> although debian unstable is fairly up to date
[04:06] <riotkittie> i'd like to kill the tty beep. hmm.
[04:06] <mneptok> drifterz_: webmin has a myriad of well-known remote ekploits.
[04:06] <norty> haha
[04:06] <mneptok> *exploits
[04:06] <icecool> is there a solution to the k-3d problem?
[04:07] <nickrud> or, there's always xset b off
[04:07] <riotkittie> lowlux: chown it. make it root's.
[04:07] <drifterz_> mneptok: I see it's learning based so not as inportant but usefull to know if I ever setup my own personal server.
[04:07] <norty> thanks nickrud
[04:07] <craigbass1976> lowlux, if it's a network share, you'd do this somehow in your samba.conf (or whatever conf for whatever protocol you're using)
[04:07] <nickrud> norty: yw
[04:07] <DjViper> EJ: not sure with usb stuff, but it's probably covered by the 'mount' command
[04:07] <PKdoR> is there a good anty spyware in the repos?
[04:07] <norty> how do i get my mp3s to play in a specific player (MP) when i double click them?
[04:07] <mneptok> drifterz_: but ... you're not learning anything useful
[04:08] <drifterz_> bruenig: I have heard arch is good maybe I'll test it
[04:08] <EJ> [ DjViper] : ok i'll man mount and see what i can come up with, thank you
[04:08] <nickrud> PKdoR: no, no spyware on linux.
[04:08] <bruenig> drifterz_, I use it on my laptop, it is amazing
[04:08] <mneptok> drifterz_: the proper way to teach Unix administration is ... ready? ... using the *default Unix administration tools*
[04:08] <PKdoR> REALLY!!!
[04:08] <craigbass1976> PKdoR, I don't knw as we worry too much about spyware.  If thing get weird, back up important data, hose your home directory, recreate it, dump data back in, and don't screw it up again
[04:08] <rafaelscj> PKdoR, of course no
[04:08] <junkeR> but I like spyware!!!!!!!! :D
[04:09] <drifterz_> mneptok: yes I somewhat know that. It's a combination between config file editing and webmin. Only webmin because were a struggling windows envirmonet class
[04:09] <icecool> Help!!!
[04:09] <PKdoR> Jeasus Christ on heaven and earth!!!
[04:09] <nickrud> PKdoR: now, rootkits ... :P
[04:09] <DjViper> PKdoR: have you seen him lately?
[04:09] <PKdoR> mou mea to tell me there is actually no spay ware on linux?
[04:09] <craigbass1976> PKdoR, settle down.  He's not back yet.
[04:09] <riotkittie> rootkits :|  arrr.
[04:09] <DjViper> he's idle... going on 2007 years now :P
[04:09] <craigbass1976> PKdoR, right, essentially none.  I'v enever heard of any, but I spuuose there might be some somewhere
[04:10] <PKdoR> and i bet that if there is any is pretty minima; no?
[04:10] <mneptok> DjViper: s/2007/1974/
[04:10] <nickrud> PKdoR: that's what is so great about open source, people READ the stuff, before it goes on your machine
[04:10] <craigbass1976> Dr_willis_, hehe
[04:10] <PKdoR> im already in love!!
[04:10] <DjViper> mneptok: can you be really sure he was here in the firstplace? :P
[04:10] <riotkittie> gather round kiddies, and let's talk about wireless. hoooray.
[04:11] <PKdoR> is it legal tyo marry a distro in the states?
[04:11] <Fink> wireless sucks...too slow
[04:11] <DjViper> riotkittie: wireless gives me nightmares lol
[04:11] <mneptok> DjViper: you seem to be, throwing numbers like that. ;)
[04:11] <drifterz_> mneptok: Unfortunatetly our instructor would rather shoot a gun then teach us how to use linux. He's a ex military sniper or something. On top of that we had a bad professor teaching us the pre-requiste class.
[04:11] <DjViper> mneptok: hehe
[04:11] <Dr_willis_> nickrud,  used wine to 'install' some wallpaper/installers/theme things for the wife.. so i could get the real data files out of the spamware wrappers,
[04:11] <riotkittie> DjViper: a little nocturnal suffering is good for the soul.
[04:11] <Fink> wired all the way
[04:11] <hhp21> DjViper: Woah, I just did sudo aptitude update and it sputtered "Bus Error (Core Dumped)"
[04:11] <hhp21> DjViper: What log am I looking for here?
[04:11] <riotkittie> my wireless isnt slow at all.
[04:11] <Dr_willis_> nickrud,  then i just removed the .wine dir :)
[04:11] <mneptok> drifterz_: please don't tell me you *paid* for this ... ):
[04:11] <PKdoR> hey guys is any body out there using clam AV?
[04:11] <_cerberus_> I've set up a fresh install of dapper on an old box and can no longer see any computers on the network. All firewall settings on the recieving box are correct and I can ping the broken box from other computers. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
[04:11] <nickrud> Dr_willis_: ah, a method to the madness. I am impressed
[04:11] <craigbass1976> Fink, butit IS somewhat faster than sneaker net...
[04:11] <Fink> riotkittie: but is it as fast as wired?
[04:11] <norty> is there a way to set it so that mp3s automatically play in a media player (MP) when i double click them?
[04:12] <mneptok> drifterz_: if you care, a local company here just started web-based (Moodle) Ubuntu Cert courses
[04:12] <adrian> hey, does any of you know how i would make my ubuntu movieplayer take DVDs?
[04:12] <pike_> _cerberus_: does dapper include samba by default
[04:12] <pike_> ?
[04:12] <DjViper> hhp21: hmmm thats serious...it might not show up in the logs at all
[04:12] <mneptok> PKdoR: do you run a mail server?
[04:12] <PKdoR> no
[04:12] <hhp21> I checked System > Administration > Logs and it looks like they updated.. but there's no way to copy that information
[04:12] <mneptok> PKdoR: then you don't need ClamAV
[04:12] <gnomefreak> pike_: you have to install it
[04:12] <nickrud> Dr_willis_: I'd like some of those wallpapers I've seen. And, a real use for wine at the same time. Brilliant!
[04:12] <PKdoR> but really?
[04:12] <_cerberus_> pike_,  samba is not installed but I don't need samba, both computers are running linux. I can't even ping the other computer from the broken box.
[04:13] <mneptok> PKdoR: really.
[04:13] <adrian> HELP!  hey, does any of you know how i would make my ubuntu movieplayer take DVDs?
[04:13] <craigbass1976> riotkittie, must ahve something to do with drivers loaded at boot with a live cd.  If I plug the line in, and reboot, I'm on the network.
[04:13] <drifterz_> mneptok: haha yes I did top Canadian college lol. Don't get me wrong it's usually very informative a couple of instructors could due without however.
[04:13] <nickrud> norty: right click an mp3, go to properties, and in the dialog window choose open with
[04:13] <riotkittie> Fink: if i were using it for anything other than internet, i might be willing to complain
[04:13] <PKdoR> ohh my my my if linux rids me of such vermin as spyware and viruses im already in heaven
[04:13] <mneptok> drifterz_: QC?
[04:13] <riotkittie> craigbass1976: ahh. glad you figured it out.
[04:13] <Dr_willis_> nickrud,  yea - its amazing the crud that gets pushed on the less educated windows users..
[04:13] <craigbass1976> riotkittie, wouldn't go that far, it's just a theory
[04:13] <Dr_willis_> PKdoR,   gotta love security thought of at the core of the os. :)
[04:13] <riotkittie> adrian: you probably need to install some codecs
[04:14] <norty> will that open it in whatever i choose everytime i double click from that point on?
[04:14] <norty> nickrud, ^
[04:14] <PKdoR> nice!!!
[04:14] <rafaelscj> inorty, you can do that
[04:14] <Dr_willis_> PKdoR,  none of those Nag-things thats in Vista either.
[04:14] <nickrud> norty: yes, thats how you set the default app
[04:14] <riotkittie> ugh. i need security. back to windows i go. <god, i cant believe i just typed that>
[04:14] <norty> ok thanks
[04:14] <drifterz_> mneptok: not sure what QC is. My college is Assiniboine Community College www.assiniboine.net if you care to take a look. It is nationally accredited though.
[04:14] <rabiddachshund> does anyone in here use the "Listen" media player?
[04:14] <mneptok> drifterz_: QC = Quebec.
[04:15] <norty> nickrud, that didn't work
[04:15] <adrian> riotkittie i know there are a sorth of sudo commande that i need to use to install the pagages
[04:15] <mneptok> drifterz_: if you were here in the province i'd offer to meet with you tomorrow and give you some pointers
[04:15] <rabiddachshund> I can't seem to get it to recognize the play/pause/etc buttons on my keyboard. :(
[04:15] <nickrud> norty: you gotta move the radio button. That's what gets most people.
[04:15] <noob69> hello everyone
[04:16] <craigbass1976> noob69, hey there
[04:16] <Zeithawke> Hi noob.
[04:16] <Zeithawke> Gah.
[04:16] <craigbass1976> that sounds funny.  hi noob..
[04:16] <norty> nickrud, what radio button?
[04:16] <icecool> what does a "segmentation faut" mean???
[04:16] <mneptok> drifterz_: http://www.savoirfairelinux.com/english/news/articles/formation-ubuntu-professional-en-ligne/
[04:16] <simplechat> this isn't good, its been trying to install ubuntu for like 30 minutes
[04:16] <drifterz_> mneptok: Just not really a linux based course. It is fairly general mostly Microsoft. I knew QC was Quebec too I just thought you were refering to a college.
[04:17] <PKdoR> I cant take this no more!!! I'v been lied to all this years. i was trapped in the MS matrix and i had a blind fold ever my eyes, for I never knew a world without spy-ware and Viruses existed before this!!!!
[04:17] <norty> i am right clicking the file, choosing open file with other application and then picking bmp
[04:17] <Dr_willis_> icecool,  bit time crashed.
[04:17] <nickrud> norty: did you do open with on the right click menu, or did you go to properties and open the dialog window
[04:17] <Dr_willis_> big time. :)
[04:17] <PKdoR> its like the PC is really Personal again!!!
[04:17] <craigbass1976> PKdoR, did you just install ubuntu?
[04:17] <PKdoR> yes
[04:17] <norty> o shit
[04:17] <hhp21> Sounds like it :P
[04:17] <norty> ok sorry
[04:17] <norty> got it
[04:17] <norty> thanks nickrud
[04:17] <Dr_willis_> PKdoR,  take the red pill!
[04:17] <mneptok> PKdoR: your enthusiasm, while heartening, is better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:17] <icecool> how do i fix it
[04:17] <hhp21> Congratulations PKdoR
[04:17] <nickrud> PKdoR: precisely, that's exactly why I switched. I missed it
[04:17] <mneptok> !ohmy | norty
[04:17] <ubotu> norty: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:17] <PKdoR> ok
[04:17] <norty> :x
[04:17] <craigbass1976> PKdoR, did you know all the softwar eis free too?
[04:18] <PKdoR> yeu
[04:18] <rafaelscj> norty, right-click, proper, open with...
[04:18] <hhp21> rafaelscj: He left
[04:18] <nickrud> PKdoR: I don't have to, but I can twiddle bits if I choose
[04:18] <PKdoR> i was usin it in vm for about a year now but I just installed it permanent
[04:18] <icecool> Dr_willis: how do i fix it then?
[04:19] <rabiddachshund> /exit
[04:19] <DjViper> hirr :P
[04:19] <hhp21> :P
[04:19] <NemesisD> ah i love the snow effect
[04:19] <PKdoR> on a technical question can I dual boot ubuntu and xp with software raid?
[04:19] <drifterz_> mneptok: thanks I am looking at that now.
[04:20] <PKdoR> or just fake raid?
[04:20] <rafaelscj> what do you think the *best* way to share files: ftp/ssh/vpn/samba?
[04:20] <nickrud>  oh, for !best
[04:20] <DjViper> rafaelscj: depends on what you are sharing with
[04:20] <pike_> rafaelscj: snailmail
[04:21] <madman91_phone> hey guys, can anyone hear me? I am testing out irc on my phone.
[04:21] <rafaelscj> DjViper, ...for any OS...
[04:21] <noob69> ?
[04:21] <nickrud> nope, still siletn
[04:21] <drifterz_> PkdoR: my guess would be not since one of the operating systems have to run this raid software. Don't see it working.
[04:21] <DjViper> hei madman :P
[04:21] <_cerberus_> madman91_phone, yep, we hear you
[04:21] <pike_> madman91_phone: everything you typing shows up as ?????????
[04:21] <pike_> _cerberus_: man i was going to tmess with him
[04:22] <madman91_phone> Pike really?
[04:22] <mneptok> drifterz_: if you're really interested in the Savoir Faire course let me know. i'll put you in touch with my contacts there.
[04:22] <DjViper> rafaelscj: well, you'd use samba for windows puters...
[04:22] <_cerberus_> pike_, sorry to spoil your fun
[04:22] <rafaelscj> pike_, what's snailmail? sory
[04:22] <nickrud> rflol
[04:22] <riotkittie> madman91_phone: of course it is.
[04:22] <_cerberus_> rafaelscj, don;t listen to pike_
[04:22] <pike_> rafaelscj: id recommend ssh
[04:22] <noob69> i have a dual boot computer debian and WinXP, can i install ubuntu and overwrite debian without messing up the dual boot setup
[04:22] <nickrud> rafaelscj: postal mail = snailmail
[04:22] <Creed> Anyone setup pyaimt on ubuntu?
[04:22] <madman91_phone> lol. So it looks fine then.
[04:22] <riotkittie> noob69: yes
[04:23] <pike_> rafaelscj: more overhead than ftp but more secure out of box and overhead isnt really significant
[04:23] <vande> hey
[04:23] <hhp21> Okay guys, another question for you all.. I have a 10 gb hard drive that I was installing ubuntu on. It looked like it finished so I went to reboot, and it was doing some wierd stuff, so I just pressed restart on my box (bad idea, I know) and now it's giving me all kinds of errors. I kinda got the fact that I somewhat screwed up the drive, but is there any way I can run a partition manager to just remove everything and start over fresh
[04:23] <rafaelscj> nickrud, :)
[04:23] <_cerberus_> rafaelscj, I'd aggre with pike_ on this, ssh is great.
[04:23] <vande> how do u use ksylt
[04:23] <vande> do u type stuff and it says it?
[04:24] <vande> and does it read sentences to u
[04:24] <Fink> whats a good jabber client i can get from apt
[04:24] <drifterz_> mneptok: thanks for the offer unfortunately I don't think I could get another student loan for that.
[04:24] <DjViper> hhp21: just run the ubuntu installer again?
[04:24] <nickrud> hhp21: sure, just redo the install
[04:24] <riotkittie> hhp21: yea. just... run gparted. or just install over it again and let the installer do it for you
[04:24] <zith_> Fink: gaim
[04:24] <Creed> Fink, pidgin is one
[04:24] <Fink> i know, but i cant find the feature i need >_>
[04:24] <DjViper> Fink: use gaim, pidgin is... dependency crap
[04:24] <norty> I accidently removed the top panel (applications, places, system), how do i get it back?
[04:24] <DjViper> Fink: which are?
[04:25] <rafaelscj> _cerberus_, so, apt-get install openssh-server?
[04:25] <hhp21> DjViper, nickrud, riotkittie: Tried it quite a few times, and each time either the ubuntu installer loads halfway and then spits out a bunch of unintelligible nonsense, or it fully loads and then the install fails.
[04:25] <nickrud> norty: do you have a standard bottom one?
[04:25] <blahboybang> gaim is no longer updated
[04:25] <DjViper> Fink: lots of plugins available you know
[04:25] <DjViper> hhp21: get a new hd.. heh
[04:25] <norty> yeah that shows what windows are open
[04:25] <norty> nickrud, yeah that shows what windows are open
[04:25] <blahboybang> You can't even join yahoo chats anymore without the latest version of pidgin
[04:25] <hhp21> I traveled all the way across the city to pick up an old tower to get that drive..
[04:25] <nickrud> norty: then in a terminal, type     gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
[04:26] <hhp21> DjViper: There's nothing I can do?
[04:26] <pike_> hhp21: the livecd often isnt worth the trouble id grab the alternate install cd from ubuntu.com
[04:26] <booster_> ok guys there isnt any one in the #ubuntu-effects channel.....can anyone in here that uses compiz-fousin help me out ??
[04:26] <pike_> hhp21: esp on old boxes
[04:26] <hhp21> pike_: well.. how would I go about getting that on the hard drive to install it?
[04:26] <tiziano> goodevening, is ther a gui to manage rsync?
[04:27] <fungos> ok, anybody knows what is .nrg file?
[04:27] <rafaelscj> is there an opensource ssh client for windows?
[04:27] <norty> nickrud, thanks
[04:27] <mneptok> tiziano: nto that i know of.
[04:27] <mneptok> *not
[04:27] <nickrud> rafaelscj: winscp , putty
[04:27] <hhp21> fungos: google it, there's a whole database for file types
[04:27] <blahboybang> rafaelscj: putty
[04:27] <rand> what's the best way to setup multiple monitors?
[04:27] <tiziano> nrg = nero iso file?
[04:27] <pike_> rafaelscj: just about everyone in existance uses putty and winscp
[04:27] <jvboom> ngr is like an iso
[04:27] <mneptok> rafaelscj: SSH or SFTP/SCP?
[04:27] <PanzerMKZ> nrg is nero
[04:27] <PanzerMKZ> iso
[04:27] <DjViper> hhp21: I know it's easy to say what I said, but it's a 10gb drive... not a huge loss really
[04:27] <tiziano> thank you mneptok
[04:27] <pike_> rafaelscj: except nickrud but hes a hippy
[04:28] <hhp21> DjViper: It is when your primary one you've been using for months is a 6 GB. :(
[04:28] <DjViper> hhp21: oh :/
[04:28] <PanzerMKZ> btw tiziano you can make an nrg into a iso
[04:28] <fungos> PanzerMKZ: how can I convert this .nrg to .iso without wine and any windows app?
[04:28] <mneptok> tiziano: i'm an rsync vet, if you want help crafting the command
[04:28] <nickrud> almost cut my hair even
[04:28] <pike_> rand: what model vid card?
[04:28] <hhp21> It's the poor college student scenario.
[04:28] <cheebz88> anybody know where i can find software for linux that will convert .wav files to .mmf?
[04:28] <PanzerMKZ> fungos look for the linux prog nrg2iso
[04:28] <rafaelscj> mneptok, how do I to use sftp?
[04:28] <PanzerMKZ> should be a command line progie
[04:29] <mneptok> !info nrg2iso | fungos
[04:29] <ubotu> fungos: nrg2iso: Extracts ISO9660 data from Nero ".nrg" files. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-1.1 (feisty), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB
[04:29] <tiziano> mneptok i need a painles procedure to sync my local hd rsynced via ftp to my dns 323 NAS via FTP
[04:29] <mneptok> rafaelscj: SFTP is a subsystem of SSH. it's the file transfer layer.
[04:29] <stuporglue> Anyone using Rockbox on their iPod? What do you use to transfer music? Apparently Rhythmbox doesn't do mass-storage
[04:29] <rafaelscj> mneptok, okay
[04:29] <sidewalk> how do i config beryl to start automatically?
[04:29] <fungos> perfect, ubuntu has everything that I need ;)  thanks!!
[04:30] <jvboom> ubuntu > all
[04:30] <nickrud> gtkpon, stuporglue , also have tried amarok
[04:30] <blahboybang> stuporglue: use banshee
[04:30] <PanzerMKZ> what you mean fungos
[04:30] <nickrud> *gtkpod
[04:30] <PanzerMKZ> ?
[04:30] <stuporglue> nickrud: I like to keep my KDE apps to a minimum
[04:30] <rand> pike_: nvidia
[04:30] <blahboybang> stuporglue: banshee is perfect, and gnome native
[04:30] <nickrud> I have amarok and k3b, essential tools for the desktop
[04:30] <mneptok> tiziano: rsync does not work with FTP.
[04:31] <rafaelscj> I did sudo apt-get install openssh-server. I think i don't need to restart, right?
[04:31] <mneptok> rafaelscj: nope
[04:31] <fungos> PanzerMKZ: I can convert almost every non standard iso images to .iso without runing a windows vm :D
[04:31] <nickrud> banshee does ipods?
[04:31] <blahboybang> nickrud: yes
[04:31] <mneptok> nickrud: not any more
[04:31] <stuporglue> blahboybang: With Rockbox, I can treat the ipod as a mass storage device (songs in folders) -- does Banshee do mass storage media devices? I know it's good with the iPod format
[04:31] <PanzerMKZ> fungos: nice
[04:31] <blahboybang> stuporglue: dunno
[04:31] <pike_> rand: ive had good luck with twinview then you can search ubuntuforums.org for guides.  never used any of the newer things
[04:31] <blahboybang> o_o
[04:31] <tiziano> oh bad... ftp is faster on my nas :(
[04:31] <tiziano> than samba
[04:32] <pike_> stuporglue: no
[04:32] <tiziano> how ftp sites are synced?
[04:32] <pike_> stuporglue: just use your file manager
[04:32] <mneptok> tiziano: ssh
[04:33] <stuporglue> pike_ : yeah...but I'd like to have a manager that can make playlists and stuff for me, and not all my songs are in nice folders yet
[04:33] <mtx1> anyone know what would cause none of my files to open from clicking on them in file browser but if i open the program and then open the file it works fine

[05:03] <Ashbringer> Hello, I'm using Beyrl and GNOME on an nvidia card (can give more information if needed), and I think I just had an X crash the likes of which I haven't had before. My mouse could move, nothing would interact on my system. my CPU monitor stopped, and my caps lock and numlock LED's wouldn't light. However, after I powered-off and restarted, gnome-system-log segfaults just after launch. Is anyone else having this problem?
[05:03] <BernieMac> right down to the over heating video cards and linux crashing capabilities
[05:03] <DjViper> adamorjames: your webserver?
[05:04] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : im running 7.04 server
[05:04] <DjViper> adamorjames: you should probably ask about this in #apache
[05:04] <chuckf> pike_, I know that, thanks for the help. I thought it was set that way by default which is what confused me
[05:04] <DjViper> if thats what you're using
[05:04] <Hadeshorn> doitle yeah i dont know how to do that either
[05:04] <Oswy> Hey, I'm having troubles with reading .torrents, can someone help me please?
[05:04] <adamorjames> ok DjViper
[05:04] <SpudGunMan> i have a question is there any way that i could set up a transparent traffic monitor to watch all traffic and report? (tcpDump wont work) i need some sort of real time reporting
[05:04] <pike_> chuckf: yeah imo it should be
[05:04] <MageOAO> i am too
[05:04] <stuporglue> Someone about 20 mins ago said Banshee didn't support USB Mass Storage mp3 players, apparently it does, including Rockbox on iPods --   http://banshee-project.org/Guide/DAPs/MassStorageDevices
[05:04] <SpudDogg> EJ: I'm not sure what exactly the network setup during install does.  You will probably have to manually modify /etc/network/interfaces...That's my best guess for you
[05:04] <chuckf> okay, I'm gonna go play with this a bit. Thanks again pike_
[05:04] <DjViper> adamorjames: or ##php
[05:05] <|brad|> Hadeshorn, you dont have to use the 64bit ubuntu
[05:05] <Ashbringer> Oswy: gnome comes witha  pretty bare bittorrent client, try installing KTorrent
[05:05] <SpudDogg> EJ: after modifications, reboot or '/etc/init.d/networking restart'
[05:05] <Oswy> I have Azureus.
[05:05] <Hadeshorn> Brad, I dont want to reinstall unbuntu
[05:05] <nittonas> hay how do you know if the ip filter in ktorrent is working and is there a program like peergardian for ubuntu eny help would be much appreciated
[05:05] <DroNix> hi, how do I apply patches?
[05:06] <Oswy> But almost every torrent is being read as a text file, and not opening properly in torrents.
[05:06] <Oswy> Should I just get a native program like KTorrent instead of an adapted one?
[05:06] <Ashbringer> Right click and open in KTorrent
[05:06] <Ashbringer> Or Azuerus
[05:06] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : k thanx, basically when i run "sudo iwconfig wlan0 key <netkey>" it wont connect to the wireless network and im trying to figure out why, never had a connection problem with the other router
[05:06] <Ashbringer> I used to use azureus before 3.0, it worked fine
[05:06] <SpudDogg> EJ: yea, you will need to edit /etc/network/interfaces to enter the key manually.  if you need the syntax, let me know
[05:07] <DroNix> hey, someone, can u help me out
[05:07] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : yeah i proably will but let me take a look at that file 1st and see whats there
[05:07] <Oswy> Ashbringer: It claims to be "not a file".
[05:07] -WhatTheHell:#ubuntu- You have 1 new message. Type /server mail to read it.

[05:10] <Matthew_> i restarted my server and i tried to do sudo -i after i logged in and it said my account was not set for sudo use
[05:10] <ingsoc> without spoiling my installed programs

[05:10] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : lol

[05:12] <ingsoc> any help out there? just wondering how i can downgrade my wine from version 0.9.44 to 0.9.43
[05:13] <Torahteen> Hi... anyone know the line I need to add to my sources list to get the repo where pidgin is kept?
[05:13] <Hodapp> AncientRelic: I'd go SATA, then you don't have to mess with DMA and blah, generally
[05:13] <SpudDogg> EJ: and of course, you do not need to set the IP static...you can just put it to DHCP...hang on, i'll paste that syntax too
[05:13] <AncientRelic> Hodapp: I'm thinking that if SATA burners work well in Ubuntu
[05:13] <stdin> !pidgin | Torahteen
[05:13] <seraph34> Doitle, how do I open guitar Pro Files in wine?
[05:13] <ubotu> Torahteen: pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[05:13] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : thats ok, the static is the same on this network .... just about :D
[05:14] <SpudDogg> EJ: ok, let me know if you get it working.  by the way, why are you using wireless on a server box?  hope you dont mind me asking
[05:15] <swarm> wireless on a server box is the newest cool thing :)
[05:15] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : im in a motel room and am unable to access the router directly. this is just a dev server untill i can get to a wired connection.
[05:15] <AncientRelic> swarm, nah compiz on a server box is the new thing ;)
[05:15] <swarm> oooh ;)
[05:15] <SpudDogg> EJ. swarm:  makes perfect sense
[05:16] <swarm> i'm STILL trying to get my &%@&#* broadcom wireless driver working.
[05:16] <SpudDogg> swarm: ndiswrapper
[05:16] <swarm> i am about to throw my computer out the winder
[05:16] <AncientRelic> Torahteen: http://jhcore.com/2007/06/04/install-pidgin-in-ubuntu/
[05:16] <swarm> thanks, SpudDogg .... didn't know about that one </sarcasm>
[05:16] <Torahteen> stdin: I just did this recently. There's a repo that has pidgin in it (I actually just need finch)... someone gave me the link, I don't know how he found it
[05:16] <swarm> or fwcutter
[05:16] <J0SH> hi
[05:16] <SpudDogg> swarm: lol, ok.  what's the problem you're having?
[05:16] <jmak642> 94% on the installer
[05:16] <swarm> i'v installed ndiswrapper - but it still doesn't work.
[05:17] <swarm> there are no errors
[05:17] <swarm> it just doesn't show up.
[05:17] <Matthew_> anyone know how to fix sudo, mine said my account isnt associated with sudo anymore and said it was incorrect now it wont even accept the sudo -i command
[05:17] <J0SH> i instaled ubuntu server but i dunno how to get to the desktop
[05:17] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : i know there are security and reliability issues with wireless on a server but its still a learning process for me and it occupies my time with something i have an interest in, i only use my winbox to gather info and play poker. :D
[05:17] <Flannel> Matthew_: type 'groups' are you in the 'admin' group?
[05:17] <Flannel> J0SH: install the ubuntu-desktop package
[05:17] <J0SH> how?
[05:17] <swarm> josh, ubuntu server doesn't need a desktop. it is a server enviorment - but if you want, sudo aptitude install gnome-desktop
[05:17] <J0SH> srry im new in ubuntu....
[05:17] <Matthew_> flannel it lists my name but thats it
[05:18] <stdin> Torahteen: it's on http://www.getdeb.net too, or just wait a month and install gutsy :p
[05:18] <SpudDogg> EJ: well, there's also a speed and reliability issue with wireless, imo
[05:18] <J0SH> ok
[05:18] <Flannel> Matthew_: Ah.  What did you do?  usermod?
[05:18] <J0SH> brb
[05:18] <Matthew_> flannel changed a setting in webmin must have done something wrong dont know what to do know
[05:18] <tiziano>  /server mail
[05:18] <Matthew_> now*
[05:18] <cellofellow> JOSH: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, and you'll also want to grab linux-generic
[05:18] <SpudDogg> swarm: what release are you using?  and im just going to assume this is on a computer with a gui, not a server box
[05:18] <J0SH> ok
[05:19] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : agreed, hey do i need to remove the auto lo and iface lo inet loopback lines when applying this syntax ?
[05:19] <swarm> SpudDogg, feisty 7.04, not a server box
[05:19] <J0SH> couldnt find package ubuntu-desktop
[05:19] <J0SH> :(
[05:19] <Flannel> Matthew_: Well, you certainly did.  You'll need to reboot, at GRUB (you might need to hit escape to get to the grub menu) go to the recovery console, then you'll need to re-add yourself to your groups.
[05:19] <Flannel> J0SH: are you connected to the internet?
[05:19] <J0SH> yes
[05:19] <swarm> josh, sudo aptitude update
[05:19] <Flannel> J0SH: Have you done `sudo apt-get update` yet?
[05:20] <swarm> ;)
[05:20] <SpudDogg> EJ: the block of lines i sent you is exactly what i have.  im not sure if you need the loopback part or not with your particular nic/ndiswrapper
[05:20] <J0SH> hmm nope
[05:20] <Flannel> Matthew_: to do that (you'll want to write this down): usermod -G adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin -a [username] 
[05:20] <Zambezi> Isn't 04.45 a little late to get ads in the mailbox (at the door)? I'm so mad now!
[05:20] <jmak642> hehehehe, i love this, it seems for me that it works every time
[05:20] <J0SH> err http://security.ubuntu.com bla blah
[05:20] <SpudDogg> swarm: so you're nic is not recognized or it cannot find your wireless network?
[05:20] <J0SH> hmm
[05:20] <DarkED> hi, how can i figure out what version of open arena is in the repos?
[05:20] <Flannel> Matthew_: well, admin is really the only one you need in that list, since you can add yourself to the others through the GUI once you're back in admin.
[05:20] <ingsoc> does aptitude or apt-get all downgrading of installed packages? i need to move back a version
[05:21] <Bozza> hey . do i need to download ati drivers .. or does ubuntu install them automatically
[05:21] <Bozza> the latest ones
[05:21] <Flannel> !ati | Bozza
[05:21] <ubotu> Bozza: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:21] <swarm> SpudDogg, not recognizing the NIC
[05:21] <Hadeshorn> !ati bozza
[05:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ati bozza - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:21] <Bozza> ill just install them from ati .. it should be ok .. yes ?
[05:21] <Hadeshorn> Bozza, I havent got the latest ones to work
[05:21] <J0SH> i think it has problems connecting :(
[05:21] <Hadeshorn> Bozza what video card are you running?
[05:21] <Bozza> how come
[05:21] <Bozza> 9600
[05:21] <J0SH> how can i fix this?
[05:21] <Bozza> its quite old radeon 9600
[05:22] <SpudDogg> swarm: when you installed the driver via ndiswrapper did you install the driver off the windows driver cd, or did you download it?  what im getting at is are you sure you have the correct driver?
[05:22] <Hadeshorn> bozza yeah i think the latest one was for the new cards.. but there are stuff coming for the older cards
[05:22] <Flannel> J0SH: what errors does it give? (don't paste here, summarize if you can, one or two lines)
[05:22] <Hadeshorn> bozza have a look at www.phoronix.com
[05:22] <Flannel> J0SH: Do you have an alternate CD?
[05:22] <J0SH> could not resold
[05:22] <Tarelerul> should vnc work with name with noramal lan?
[05:22] <Torahteen> Does GAIM have a text version?
[05:22] <Bozza> well i went to ati.com and it lets me eselct what card and os i have
[05:22] <J0SH> im using vmware
[05:22] <Flannel> J0SH: could not resolve hostname?
[05:23] <AncientRelic> Torahteen: Not wanting pidgin?
[05:23] <swarm> SpudDogg, I have done a few different drivers. I have the CD that came with my network card.
[05:23] <J0SH> could not resolve 'security.ubuntu.com'
[05:23] <Hadeshorn> But yeah Bozza also do the steps from  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:23] <Bozza> Hadeshorn: the ati website gave me the latest driver for my card .. shall i install it .. but i dont know if its the same as the one already installed by ubuntu
[05:23] <Flannel> J0SH: well, if security is the only issue, not the regular repos, you'll be fine.  But if you can't connect to any, you've got a problem that your vm can't connect to the internet
[05:23] <Bozza> ok thanks
[05:23] <Torahteen> AncientRelic... i want a non-gui MSN client :P
[05:23] <Hadeshorn> bozza two secs
[05:23] <swarm> I'm not even sure if I installed ndiswrapper properly - when I try to open the "Windows Wireless Drivers" in the administration menu now, it just pops up and dies quickly
[05:23] <SpudDogg> swarm: man, i spent so many hours getting my wireless working on my old laptop, but i cannot remember what i did.  are you completely opposed to getting an orinoco card and tossing that broadcom out the window?
[05:24] <J0SH> how can i test the connection?
[05:24] <Flannel> Torahteen: centericq does MSN, I believe.
[05:24] <AncientRelic> J0SH: are you using it from VMware in windows?
[05:24] <Hadeshorn> bozza did you download 8.41.7?
[05:24] <swarm> yes i am. I am very far away from the access point and this Wireless-N card is what is needed
[05:24] <Bozza> 1 sec
[05:24] <J0SH> ys
[05:24] <cellofellow> JOSH: ping google.com test inet connections :)
[05:24] <J0SH> windows
[05:24] <Flannel> Torahteen: yeah, centericq does msn.
[05:24] <Bozza> nope .. its 8.40.4 hadeshorn
[05:24] <AncientRelic> J0SH: Is your VM set for bridging or NAT?
[05:24] <swarm> Also, there are tons of people who say it works. I think I am just not doing it right, but I am following the howto's that I have found
[05:24] <J0SH> hmm lemme check
[05:24] <Hadeshorn> bozza thats the version you downloaded from ATI?
[05:24] <Torahteen> Thanks
[05:24] <Bozza> yea
[05:25] <Bozza> for radeon 9600
[05:25] <Hadeshorn> ahhh
[05:25] <Zambezi> I know it's possible to search in *.mbox, but what if it's compress to *.tar.bz2? Is it still possible to search in it?
[05:25] <Hadeshorn> The latest version is 8.40.7
[05:25] <SpudDogg> swarm: gotcha...man sorry i cant be more help.  i feel like a douche forgetting the problems i had...
[05:25] <J0SH> NAT
[05:25] <Hadeshorn> bozza it seems that ATI hasnt officially linked to the new ones
[05:25] <Bozza> shit . .where do i get that from
[05:25] <TylerLovesUbuntu> I am trying to make a custom live CD with reconstructor and the image I make is just a little bit to big to fit on a CD (by about 50 mb) are there any packages in xubuntu that are optional that I could free up about 50 from my image
[05:25] <Hadeshorn> bozza two secs
[05:25] <AncientRelic> J0SH: Switch your networking to bridged
[05:25] <Bozza> thanks so much
[05:25] <SpudDogg> EJ: how's it going over there in the motel6?
[05:26] <J0SH> hmm
[05:26] <swarm> I just tried to open ndisgtk in terminal to see what kind of error it gives... mind if i paste to you and see what you think?
[05:26] <J0SH> 30% [connecting to jp.archive.ubuntu.com
[05:26] <Hadeshorn> Bozza im still a newb ok.. so read here
[05:26] <Hadeshorn> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=833&num=1
[05:26] <SpudDogg> swarm: yea, i'll definately look at it
[05:26] <tonyyarusso> TylerLovesUbuntu: Language packs and locale info are probably the place to start if it's for limited distribution.
[05:26] <Hadeshorn> Bozza I downloaded the file
[05:26] <J0SH> i tried the update again
[05:26] <Bozza> ok thank you
[05:26] <Hadeshorn> and then did the steps of !ati
[05:26] <Hadeshorn> !ati
[05:26] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:26] <TylerLovesUbuntu> I already only have the english locale ;) way ahead of you on that one
[05:26] <Hadeshorn> making the binary driver
[05:27] <Hadeshorn> but some people are having more trouble then its worth tho
[05:27] <AncientRelic> TylerLovesUbuntu: What about a lighter distro?
[05:27] <Bozza> ok ill check it out
[05:27] <AncientRelic> TylerLovesUbuntu: DamnSmallLinux fits on a 50M CD
[05:27] <Bozza> i am guessing having gfx drivers is quite important
[05:27] <Hadeshorn> Bozza, a good version is coming out soon tho.. but im still not getting CS to play nicely
[05:27] <Hadeshorn> Bozza can you see 3d tho?
[05:27] <Bozza> hmm i dunno ,, i just installed
[05:27] <Hadeshorn> bozza try this
[05:27] <swarm> AncientRelic, do you use DSL?
[05:28] <Hadeshorn> open a terminal window
[05:28] <TylerLovesUbuntu> I want it to be based on Ubuntu and have amarok and xine pre installed with a but load of codecs
[05:28] <Bozza> ok
[05:28] <AncientRelic> swarm: Yeah, I've used it
[05:28] <Hadeshorn> type in glxgears
[05:28] <tonyyarusso> TylerLovesUbuntu: scim-*, ttf-arphic-ukai, ttf-arphic-uming, ttf-kochi-gothic, ttf-kochi-mincho
[05:28] <Bozza> yea i see the gears
[05:28] <Spangle> does ubuntu have multi-monitor support?
[05:28] <swarm> hmm... DSL stands for a lot of things :)
[05:28] <LarNet> Anyone using Ubuntu on a Mac?
[05:28] <Hadeshorn> bozza so you have 3d working
[05:28] <TylerLovesUbuntu> what do those packages do?
[05:28] <Bozza> cool
[05:28] <Tarelerul> I mean for real is vnc supost to have names or do most poeple us ip.
[05:28] <Hadeshorn> bozza so the ATI bundled stuff is ok
[05:28] <SpudDogg> swarm: lol...only one matters to me :0
[05:28] <J0SH> :( it says could not resolve thing again
[05:28] <Bozza> but i think its better to update
[05:28] <Hadeshorn> bozza yes and no
[05:29] <Bozza> why no ?
[05:29] <usser> Tarelerul: depends
[05:29] <Bozza> is it really hard ?
[05:29] <swarm> SpudDogg, hehe ;)
[05:29] <Hadeshorn> bozza it is nice to have the latest. but it hasnt been fully tested
[05:29] <SpudDogg> swarm: you pasting that error?
[05:29] <Hadeshorn> bozza and it might bring more hassles then its worth for the time being until more people have attacked it
[05:29] <Bozza> oh .. so how do i tell what version i am on
[05:29] <swarm> i did
[05:29] <Coercion> i've got a little problem, running top and i see a zombie process [play]  defunct, when i issue a kill command it doesnt seem to die, any idea if this is a virus or anything?
[05:29] <Tarelerul> Bozza , wrong chat room for that haha
[05:29] <swarm> did you not recieve it?
[05:29] <swarm> check your private messages
[05:29] <tonyyarusso> TylerLovesUbuntu: More international character support.
[05:29] <Bozza> how do i check what v i am on hadeshorn
[05:29] <Hadeshorn> Bozza what do you want do in 3d?
[05:29] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : well it is reporting the correct information when i run ifconfig but it still not connectiong to the network when i check iwconfig. I run iwlist scan and the wireless network is there... im wondering if its an issue with the key? am i supposed to be using the encrypted key ? i think i am just using the passphrase.
[05:29] <Hadeshorn> bozza two secs
[05:29] <SpudDogg> swarm: no private messages...
[05:30] <Hadeshorn> !ati
[05:30] <swarm> hmm
[05:30] <Bozza> well i just want to know i got graphics drivers from ati...
[05:30] <Flannel> swarm: you need to be registered and identified to send queries on freenode.
[05:30] <Hadeshorn> bozza just finding the command
[05:30] <SpudDogg> EJ: yea, i do believe you need the actual key

[05:31] <Hadeshorn> hey has anyone got the new linux drivers to work?
[05:31] <usser> Tarelerul: the name of the computer you connect to
[05:32] <SpudDogg> EJ: sure thing man.  if you feel comfortable giving me the passphrase, i can stick it in my router to see if i can give you the actual key
[05:32] <rdz> hello. how to encrypt my mails with evolution?
[05:32] <cjae_> anyone have a sony network walkman here

[05:32] <usser> rdz: you will gpg,
[05:32] <Hadeshorn> Usser, ATI released 8.40.7
[05:32] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : sure np abcde12345
[05:32] <Bozza> direct rendering: Yes
[05:32] <rdz> Coercion, yes
[05:32] <Coercion> GnuPGP works
[05:32] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : they arent very creative hehe
[05:32] <Bozza> second command didnt do anything
[05:32] <SpudDogg> swarm: that's greek to me.
[05:32] <usser> Hadeshorn: oh yea gotta take a look
[05:32] <xptical> when installing on my laptop, the live DVD shuts down because of high temp.  Even though the laptop is cool
[05:32] <swarm> also, SpudDogg, http://pastebin.com/m36de2904
[05:32] <Coercion> i'm still having this zombie process problem
[05:32] <rdz> usser, yes, but what do i have to do?
[05:33] <Spangle> does ubuntu have multi-monitor support?
[05:33] <Coercion> if anyone can help me out it's appreciated
[05:33] <AncientRelic> Bozza, this is why I went nVidia for my Linux boxes ;)
[05:33] <Bozza> usser: the second line you gave me didnt do anything
[05:33] <swarm> and: lspci returns: 02:09.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43XG (rev 01)
[05:33] <cjae_> rdz, what ??
[05:33] <AncientRelic> !ubotu xinerama | Spangle
[05:33] <ubotu> Spangle: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[05:33] <cjae_> rdz,  why
[05:33] <Bozza> well i do prefer nvidia ... radeon came installed in the pc i am using now
[05:33] <rdz> usser, someone gave me his public key and he said, that he will only accept encrypted mails...so what do i need to do?
[05:33] <usser> Bozza: I see it means you don't have ati's fglrx working
[05:34] <AncientRelic> J0SH: why stuck?
[05:34] <SpudDogg> EJ: is that 64 or 128 bit?
[05:34] <Bozza> so how do i get that working
[05:34] <J0SH> i cant get it to work
[05:34] <noob69> ?
[05:34] <AncientRelic> J0SH: what's happening?
[05:34] <rdz> cjae_, i was just wondering, that you ask about a sony device in a linux channel
[05:34] <J0SH> ubuntu server
[05:34] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : btw they arent using a Linksys router, if thats what your using and i dunno if a different brand router will give a different enc key
[05:34] <AncientRelic> J0SH: you installed ubuntu-desktop
[05:34] <J0SH> im trying to install the dekstop
[05:34] <SpudDogg> EJ: i dont know either, but it's worth a shot...im using a belkin or something, but definately not a linksys
[05:35] <usser> rdz: well my setup is thunderbird+enigmail+gpg it allows you encrypt decrypt sign messages, don't know much about evolution
[05:35] <rdz> cjae_, i had once a sony net md recorder, but of course it was not possible to use it in linux, unfortunately....
[05:35] <noob69> i'm trying to install AdobeReader8.0 do i need to be in super user mode to accomplish this task
[05:35] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : not sure what they have their encryption set at
[05:35] <Bozza> so how do i check what version my current gfx drivers are
[05:35] <Hadeshorn> Usser: If it says glxinfo |grept direct and it says yes.. that means 3d is working right?
[05:35] <simplechat> yes
[05:35] <SpudDogg> EJ: well, i can give you the 64 and 128 bit versions if you want
[05:35] <J0SH> they say i update it so i update but ubuntu says "could not resolve jp.archive.ubuntu.com"
[05:35] <rdz> usser, ok.. i know, that evolution supports gpg as well, but i don't know how to use it
[05:35] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : sure i'll give em both a try
[05:35] <swarm> no ideas, SpudDogg ? :)
[05:35] <AncientRelic> J0sh: do an ifconfig eth0
[05:36] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[05:36] <J0SH> hmm i can type anything
[05:36] <xRacR> hi
[05:36] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : i am going to guess its 128 bit though, but i've seen stranger things
[05:36] <usser> rdz: see the assimetric encryption works like that someone gives you their public key and you encrypt a message to him which can only be decrypted by his private which is kept secret
[05:36] <rdz> Coercion, do you know how to encrypt mails with evolution using gpg?
[05:36] <SpudDogg> swarm: hang on a second...brb (oops, no acronyms..."be right back"
[05:36] <J0SH> what Ign?
[05:36] <AncientRelic> J0SH: did you reboot the VM after you changed the networking?
[05:36] <J0SH> nope
[05:36] <rdz> usser, that is what i was reading, but how to encrypt a message in evolution?
[05:36] <Bozza> Hadeshorn: how do i check what version i have
[05:36] <swarm> okeydokey
[05:36] <J0SH> ok imma reboot it
[05:36] <Hadeshorn> bozza im trying to remember the command
[05:36] <Coercion> rdz check pm
[05:36] <AncientRelic> J0SH: try typing sudo ifdown eth0
[05:37] <usser> Hadeshorn: yes but u may be using open source radeon driver that for some cards provides 3d
[05:37] <Bozza> ok
[05:37] <AncientRelic> J0SH: followed by sudo ifup eth0
[05:37] <SpudDogg> EJ: 128 bit is - 946e1cdb214a6227abbcfa5f84   best of luck :)
[05:37] <jmak642> !ntfs3g
[05:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs3g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:37] <cjae_> rdz,  trying to use it under ubuntu and wine fails for the mp3file manager installer which is s smaller thing than sonic stage which is the epitome of bad software
[05:37] <EvaLuaTe> when trying to do 'htop' i get: '-bash: htop: command not found', i remember on an earlier installation when typing this message i got something like 'htop is not installed, use apt-get install htop to install it', and also i can't install htop now using apt-get either, any idea what could be wrong ?
[05:38] <EvaLuaTe> this is also valid for some other commands too
[05:38] <usser> rdz: first googled link http://justin.madirish.net/node/153
[05:38] <AncientRelic> !ubotu ntfs-3g | jmak642
[05:38] <Hadeshorn> Bozza i cant find the command
[05:38] <ubotu> jmak642: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[05:38] <usser> rdz: do sudo apt-get install gpg seahorse
[05:38] <usser> rdz: then launch it and import the key you got
[05:38] <jmak642>  thanks AncientRelic
[05:38] <AncientRelic> jmak642: yw
[05:38] <J0SH> hmm hostsmbus controlet not enabled?>.< whats that
[05:39] <Bozza> oh well dont worry .. ill check online .. thanks though !!
[05:39] <AncientRelic> J0sh: reboot the VM
[05:39] <J0SH> i just did
[05:40] <AncientRelic> j0sh: when you get back to the prompt do a ifconfig eth0 and tell us what IP you get
[05:40] <tico> Hello everybody
[05:40] <usser> rdz: and evolution setup in that howto seems pretty easy
[05:40] <SpudDogg> swarm: well, you have a driver issue :)
[05:40] <dga> how do i upgrade individual packages?
[05:40] <J0SH> 192.168.154.129
[05:40] <Bozza> so its pretty hard installing ati drivers ?
[05:41] <SpudDogg> swarm: man, i dont know.  have you tried starting all over with your ndiswrapper and driver install?
[05:41] <nickrud> dga: select them in synaptic
[05:41] <jmak642> gotta wait for updates, 119 from the feisty base to now by default
[05:41] <AncientRelic> J0SH: your linux box isn't getting an IP
[05:41] <tico> swarm: what linux do you have?
[05:41] <AncientRelic> oh wait, it is
[05:41] <dga> nickrud: but the version there is old
[05:41] <swarm> SpudDogg, multiple times... want to help me one last time before I burn this $2500 behemoth computer? :)
[05:41] <shrimants> ok, im trying to install right now but my screen resolution is stuck at 800X600 so i cant see the next and back buttons in the installer
[05:41] <J0SH> hmm
[05:41] <swarm> tico,  ubuntu of course
[05:41] <AncientRelic> J0sh: try ping google.com
[05:41] <SpudDogg> swarm: lol, sure
[05:41] <nickrud> dga: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[05:41] <J0SH> k
[05:41] <shrimants> how do i get to the next tab
[05:42] <shrimants> or rather click next
[05:42] <EvaLuaTe> when trying to do 'htop' i get: '-bash: htop: command not found', i remember on an earlier installation when typing this message i got something like 'htop is not installed, use apt-get install htop to install it', and also i can't install htop now using apt-get either, any idea what could be wrong ? this is also valid for some other commands too ...
[05:42] <swarm> SpudDogg, should I aptitude uninstall ndiswrapper?
[05:42] <nickrud> shrimants: tab and pray :)
[05:42] <dga> nickrud: feisty fawn i think
[05:42] <tico> swarm: i know but wat type of ubuntu? dapper?
[05:42] <J0SH> 64 bytes in fn.xx.xxxx
[05:42] <swarm> feisty
[05:42] <shrimants> tab isnt working
[05:42] <J0SH> its wroking i think
[05:42] <blindot> quick poll:  What IRC client are you using ???
[05:42] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : well it didnt work :( i think i may just network and ICS to this box for the time being. Kind of a pain but it will allow me to start working with the server.
[05:42] <AncientRelic> J0sh
[05:42] <jmak642> Xchat
[05:42] <usser> blindot: gaim
[05:42] <gorlak_> konversion
[05:42] <AncientRelic> J0SH: try sudo apt-get update
[05:42] <nickrud> dga: then make sure you have backports and update enabled in the preferences of synaptic ; if that doesn't do it, wait for gutsy
[05:42] <J0SH> hmm the ping wont stop
[05:42] <J0SH> lol
[05:42] <blindot> usser: have you tried pidgin ?
[05:43] <AncientRelic> J0SH: Ctrl-C
[05:43] <EvaLuaTe> J0SH: ctrl+c
[05:43] <gorlak_> ctrl-c to stop the pinging
[05:43] <J0SH> k
[05:43] <J0SH> :P
[05:43] <usser> blindot: bleh sorry I meant pidgin
[05:43] <nickrud> dga: or, compile from source, which is something I stopped doing a while back
[05:43] <J0SH> nice
[05:43] <blindot> I'm testing v2.20 ...
[05:43] <SpudDogg> EJ: yea...i was thinking...when you put in a passphrase in a linksys router, it gives you like 4 different keys.  i guess there's no way to tell how many there COULD be
[05:43] <J0SH> its workin now
[05:43] <shrimants> ok well that didnt work
[05:43] <J0SH>  :D
[05:43] <shrimants> isnt there a keyboard shortcut or something
[05:43] <dga> nickrud: i am using adept manager. can i turn on backports in there?
[05:43] <PKdo1> compiz-fussion is not starting
[05:44] <usser> blindot: I suppose its not so different
[05:44] <AncientRelic> J0SH: next up is sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[05:44] <J0SH> k
[05:44] <rdz> usser, hey thanks a lot.. i think i finally understood. but which howto are you referring? did i miss a line?
[05:44] <SpudDogg> swarm: i dont know if aptitude remove works correctly.  i would use synaptic (i know, i prefer command-line too) so you can check the "fully remove" option
[05:44] <xRacR> Is there a fix for the USB power not shutting down after shutting down the pc?
[05:44] <jmak642> swarm, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405990&highlight=dell+1390
[05:44] <nickrud> dga: I'm pretty sure it should be doable, but I've never used adept. If you can't find it, I'll help you do it manually
[05:44] <usser> rdz: ehm http://justin.madirish.net/node/153 this one
[05:44] <blindot> usser: not at all. :S
[05:44] <shrimants> YES i got it
[05:44] <shrimants> i just auto=hided my panels
[05:44] <Tarelerul> usser , I was wondering what vnc have name depends on ?
[05:44] <usser> Tarelerul: I don't understand
[05:44] <swarm> jmak642, I have used that.. nothing ever showed up for me after I did it, but it SEEMED to work
[05:45] <jmak642> hmm, it just worked for me
[05:45] <J0SH> its installing now :D
[05:45] <jmak642> in like 1 minute
[05:45] <Tarelerul> I try geting vnc with the name my other computer gave me when I turned on vnc and it did not work so I used an ip
[05:45] <CpuWhiz> ok, i have been trying to get a LUKS encrypted root partition with a key files on my usb stick (/ and /home), i finally have it booting with 2 minor problems i wanted fixed: (1) It asks for a LUKS password 3 times before it runs the keyscript and (2) it isn't turning on the encrypted swap
[05:45] <EvaLuaTe> when trying to do 'htop' i get: '-bash: htop: command not found', i remember on an earlier installation when typing this message i got something like 'htop is not installed, use apt-get install htop to install it', and also i can't install htop now using apt-get either, any idea what could be wrong ? this is also valid for some other commands too ...
[05:45] <usser> Tarelerul: I don't understand
[05:45] <swarm> ok, SpudDogg, all removed
[05:45] <J0SH> thanks u all :D
[05:45] <SpudDogg> EJ: i just thought of something else.  can you ping the router from either of your computers
[05:45] <dga> nickrud: ok, i would like to do it manually
[05:46] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : yeah and different routers may give different keys, i may have another option too. i'll see if i can set the server up at my brothers house and set it up for ssh access. Directly wire it to the router and i wont have this anymore and it will give me a wireless nic to use in a diferent system. do you have any ideas what would work best No-ip or dyndns and if dyndns what client sftware would you recommend ?
[05:46] <swarm> should I try the online installer I was just linked to again real quick? :)
[05:46] <AncientRelic> J0SH: here to help
[05:46] <swarm> i don't see why not. brb
[05:46] <torahteen> What's the package name for X11?
[05:46] <rdz> usser, thanks a lot again
[05:46] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : yeah i can ping it from this one
[05:46] <nickrud> dga: hang on a sec, I'm installing adept. It seems to be used more and more these days ;)
[05:46] <dga> ok :)
[05:46] <Tarelerul> usser , I was wondering if knew why I could not use hte vnc name ?
[05:46] <blindot> ok, here's an interesting issue.   Does anyone have VNC AND compiz-fusion ?   When running compiz, the VNC authentication window is unable to gain focus, making it impossible to type the password (and use the fraking thing altogether).  Anyone ?
[05:46] <Kwanun> i'm getting a pci: failed to allocate mem resource #6 20000@e200000 is that an error because of my hardward compatibility?
[05:47] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : i can even access the router login page, but i dont know the password to it
[05:47] <usser> rdz: I suggest you get your own gpg key, so you can sign stuff too )
[05:47] <torahteen> Anyone know the package name for the X Window System?
[05:47] <jmak642> swarm, i did the offline installer
[05:47] <torahteen> x? x11?
[05:47] <usser> Tarelerul: don't know dns server not setup in your network
[05:47] <SpudDogg> EJ: i dont know what client to use for no-ip in ubuntu.  someone was in here the other day listing them off, so i would google it.  ssh is a very good way to admin a server.  it CAN be extremely secure if you get it set up right.
[05:47] <TylerLovesUbuntu> I am noticing an interesting bug in reconstructor. After I build it it tells me my average CPU usage and it tells me 136% haha
[05:47] <swarm> i have tried the offline installer a few times, jmak642
[05:47] <jmak642> swarm, ok
[05:47] <swarm> because my internet didn't work... now i'm plugged into ethernet, too...
[05:47] <AncientRelic> torahteen: ubuntu-desktop
[05:48] <usser> Tarelerul: if you have static ip on the machine you run vnc on you can add a line to /etc/hosts
[05:48] <torahteen> AncientRelic, I just want X, not gnome... I intend to use fluxbox
[05:48] <Kwanun> i'm getting a pci: failed to allocate mem resource #6 20000@e200000 is that an error because of my hardward compatibility?
[05:48] <bozza> hi
[05:48] <maxd> join #compiz-fusion
[05:48] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : yeah, im planning on using "The Perfect Setup" guide. Its been rather effective for me in the past
[05:48] <AncientRelic> torahteen: ah, got it
[05:48] <torahteen> AncientRelic, :P This computer can't handle gnome lol
[05:49] <usser> Tarelerul: like '255.255.255.255 compname' in which 255.... is your comps ip and compname is the name you want it be known under
[05:49] <AncientRelic> torahteen: that's when I use DamnSmallLinux, a debian based distro that can run on just about anything ;)
[05:49] <torahteen> I couldn't get it to use my wireless
[05:49] <swarm> jmak642, did you use the offline because you were offline?
[05:49] <Tarelerul> I don't have a static ip set up  randome
[05:49] <AncientRelic> torahteen: try Puppy?
[05:49] <torahteen> I just installed it over ubuntu... then had to reinstall ubuntu again
[05:49] <Kwanun> i'm getting a pci: failed to allocate mem resource #6 20000@e200000 is that an error because of my hardward compatibility?
[05:49] <torahteen> Hmm... hadn't tried that...
[05:49] <CpuWhiz> torahteen: there is a meta package i think it's xorg-x11 or maybe the other way around
[05:50] <SpudDogg> EJ: im not sure what that says, but here is a basic rundown of how my server is set up:  only one user is allowed logins, and is passworded with a password i dont even know...many many special characters, etc.  that user has permissions to NOTHING, so you'll have to su to a real user.  that and closing all your ports, of course
[05:50] <PKdoR> my compiz-fussion wont start
[05:50] <torahteen> Is puppy debian based? I don't know if I can live without apt-get XD
[05:50] <nickrud> dga: well, adept won't run :) Don't know why, so:  paste the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu-nl.org .
[05:50] <AncientRelic> torahteen: I got a P233 laptop to run puppy with ndiswrapper and a broadcom wireless
[05:50] <bozza> guys
[05:50] <bozza> big problem
[05:50] <AncientRelic> torahteen: I think so, www.puppylinux.org
[05:50] <SpudDogg> EJ: and logins to the one account is done with 1024-bit keys
[05:50] <bozza> when i go to gnome compiz prefrences
[05:50] <torahteen> AncientRelic, Aww, but no auto-config like ubuntu? :(
[05:51] <SpudDogg> EJ: AND s passphrase too
[05:51] <bozza> when i select Enable GL Desktop . nothing happens !!!!!!!!!
[05:51] <SpudDogg> EJ: anyway, best of luck...im off to bed
[05:51] <AncientRelic> torahteen: you want small or you want powerful? ;)
[05:51] <Kwanun> i'm getting a pci: failed to allocate mem resource #6 20000@e200000 is that an error because of my hardward compatibility?
[05:51] <torahteen> AncientRelic, Ubuntu Feisty recognizes my card by itself, and connects *snaps* like that
[05:51] <bozza> can someone please help
[05:51] <seraph34> need wireless help/drivers for RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01) running on MSI MegaBook L715
[05:51] <torahteen> AncientRelic: I want FAST! :P
[05:51] <dga> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37476/
[05:51] <usser> bozza: open up console and do compiz --replace and pastebin the output
[05:51] <AncientRelic> torahteen: xubuntu?
[05:52] <torahteen> AncientRelic: I'd like to have a GUI on this laptop, but at 396MHz and 128mb of RAM, it struggles with a lot
[05:52] <usser> torahteen: xubuntu will work
[05:52] <torahteen> AncientRelic I tried that... still ran rather slow for my tastes
[05:52] <AncientRelic> torahteen: ok
[05:52] <jmak642> sweet, dual boot is working
[05:53] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : well it tells me to setup access directly to root (which im not pleased with) and i typically have 1 user set up (which is my accnt) but other than that there are no other users unless i start setting up web hosting accounts, i havent gotten that far yet but my goal is to set up a web hosting server.
[05:53] <AncientRelic> got pidgin complied and installed on my new box
[05:53] <nickrud> dga: lines 35 & optionally 36, remove the # at the beginning. Save the file, and sudo apt-get update. You'll have the latest versions of the packages that got backported
[05:53] <Kwanun> i'm getting a pci: failed to allocate mem resource #6 20000@e200000 is that an error because of my hardward compatibility?
[05:53] <torahteen> AncientRelic, I suppose I can try puppy then... although I think it says that for it to work best it needs more than 128mb of free RAM, does it not?
[05:53] <AncientRelic> torahteen: My laptop had 160M and ran fine
[05:53] <dga> nickrud: what is N.B. software?
[05:53] <AncientRelic> torahteen: can't imagine 128M being MUCH worse
[05:54] <torahteen> Lol, well... I guess not...
[05:54] <torahteen> I'll have to try it out, that's for sure...
[05:54] <AncientRelic> torahteen: its a live CD
[05:54] <torahteen> Damn, now I need to find another blank CD... Or... *gulp*... buy more XD
[05:54] <nickrud> NB is some acronym for Now Hear This :)
[05:54] <Kwanun> i'm getting a pci: failed to allocate mem resource #6 20000@e200000 is that an error because of my hardward compatibility?
[05:54] <torahteen> Oops! pardon my lang
[05:55] <dga> nickrud: after the update i want to dist-upgrade or just upgrade?
[05:55] <simplechat> yay 64% done
[05:55] <simplechat> .....
[05:55] <lalw> I'm trying to install my digital tv tuner - I have no idea how to install this - total nub - http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Cx88_devices_%28cx2388x%29
[05:55] <simplechat> fun
[05:55] <lalw> how to i install
[05:55] <nickrud> dga: just upgrade
[05:55] <EJ> [ SpudDogg] : http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu704_p3
[05:55] <nickrud> dga: upgrade will only work on packages you already have installed; it can't remove or add any. Dist-upgrage can.
[05:56] <avt3kk> so theres a version that just came out that you can connect to yahoo chat with?
[05:56] <avt3kk> ubuntu version
[05:56] <Flannel> EJ, SpudDogg, those howtoforge "perfect setups" are chocked full of bad information.  Don't use them.
[05:56] <dga> nickrud: is pidgin not available in backports?
[05:56] <AncientRelic> brb all, testing my samba server
[05:56] <usser> lalw: usually tv tuners just work, try installing tvtime and see if you get any results
[05:57] <EJ> [ Flannel] : oh really, thats good info. thank you.
[05:57] <nickrud> dga no. I don't use it, but I understand there's a 3d party version available at getdeb.org. Probably should have asked you what you were looking for in the first place ;)
[05:57] <dga> nickrud: sorry :)
[05:58] <rdz> usser, i still have troubles. seahorse refuses to import this key: http://dev.picidae.net/dev/wiki/PGPkey . do you see, what is going wrong here?
[05:58] <nickrud> dga: nah, that's alright. You learned a little, so all good :)
[05:58] <dga> nickrud: thanks for the help
[05:59] <|brad|> Flannel, what do you say is wrong with them?
[05:59] <|brad|> Flannel, the howtos that is
[05:59] <usser> rdz: why what does it say? I just imported it with no problem
[05:59] <XXer> Could someone give me a little help configuring iptables this is the command I was told to use "/sbin/iptables -I INPUT 1 -i <EXT_INT> -p udp --dport <PORT> -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT" but I dont know what I should put where it says <ext_int>...
[05:59] <swiftnomad> Hello..
[06:00] <swiftnomad> Ok.. I need to use IE in linux. how?
[06:00] <swiftnomad> You are using an unsupported Internet browser. Please use the most recent non-beta version of Internet Explorer to access this page. If you continue you will likely experience performance issues. Please download this supported version or proceed to the PMC page you requested.
[06:00] <rdz> usser, it says: Couldn't import keys
[06:00] <rdz> file:///home/roman/6F6D11F19904C129B3E20032F0A7AFBE1F25853C.gpgkey: Invalid file format
[06:00] <rdz> usser, what exactly did you do?
[06:00] <Flannel> |brad|: howtoforge doesn't generally play by each distributions set of rules.  They try and configure everyone to be like [whatever]  (lets say redhat, or whatever), which isn't correct for distros that aren't redhat (or its derivs)
[06:00] <|brad|> swiftnomad, what site said that and what browser are you using
[06:01] <|brad|> Flannel, but usually they say what distro the howto is for
[06:01] <swiftnomad> i'm usinf firefox.. and partner.microsoft.com
[06:01] <swiftnomad> using**
[06:01] <XXer> "external interface" what does that mean?
[06:01] <EJ> [ swiftnomad] : do you have IE installed at all ?
[06:01] <|brad|> swiftnomad, oh well thats why its a microsoft site
[06:02] <swiftnomad> partners.microsoft.com
[06:02] <gerath> question are they any good Torrent programs that i can use to download Torrent files with Linux i see Bittorrent but don't like it much
[06:02] <Flannel> |brad|: but they write all the howtos the same.  The "debian perfect setup" has some configurations as if they were configuring a redhat box.  Not the debian way.
[06:02] <usser> rdz: allright in console do gpg --import /home/roman/6F6D11F19904C129B3E20032F0A7AFBE1F25853C.gpgkey
[06:02] <swiftnomad> No- I dont dual boot. But I'm a SharePoint Developer & I need to get a license for Windows Server 2003 and run it in VMware.
[06:03] <rdz> usser, but did you do?
[06:03] <swiftnomad> I thought of IE tab for firefox but it's only for windows.
[06:03] <EJ> [ swiftnomad] : i've been able to succesfull install IE using wine
[06:03] <swiftnomad> WINE! that's what I'll do.
[06:03] <nickrud> EJ: ie7?
[06:03] <rdz> usser, i pasted the text into a new file.... it seems to be a bit an awkward way to doit that way.... so i wonder, what you did?
[06:04] <EJ> [ nickrud] : no 6.0
[06:04] <rdz> usser, i don't get how i am supposed to download the key from their page...
[06:04] <usser> rdz: oh I just downloaded the raw key from here http://dev.picidae.net/dev/attachment/wiki/PGPkey/6F6D11F19904C129B3E20032F0A7AFBE1F25853C.gpgkey?format=raw
[06:04] <swiftnomad> nickrud, thanks for the help yesterday.. =)
[06:04] <|brad|> swiftnomad, there is always this http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[06:04] <nickrud> swiftnomad: yw
[06:04] <rdz> usser, and then you did import the ile?
[06:04] <swiftnomad> yes I just seen that brad, thanks!
[06:05] <usser> rdz: that's right
[06:05] <|brad|> ive used that before
[06:05] <swiftnomad> how do I install ie 6.0 with wine?
[06:05] <swiftnomad> or is that what I need?
[06:05] <lalw> I have a "DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Plus" I need some help to install drivers
[06:05] <gerath> are they any good Torrent engines to use with Linux ubuntu i see there is bittorrent but i hate it
[06:06] <|brad|> i would just use that package
[06:06] <usser> swiftnomad: use ies4linuix the link |brad| gave you
[06:06] <EJ> [ swiftnomad] : yeah install wine and setup ie4linux
[06:06] <swiftnomad> yes, downloading now..
[06:06] <rdz> usser, hm.... i am still a bit confuse, but the way you did, worked for me as well... thank you a lot
[06:06] <swarm> hmm... now the card shows up, but lets see if it sees the router....
[06:06] <swiftnomad> wine was gettin installed 3 seconds before he gave me the link. =)
[06:06] <BernieMac> my ubuntu freezes during boot if I shut down/reboot with the wireless still enabled. Wireless works fine otherwise. Anyone know how to fix this?
[06:07] <swiftnomad> i forgot all about wine.
[06:07] <EJ> :D
[06:07] <usser> rdz: see gpg is like a core a console based version of the program for which various gui exist, seahorse is one of the guis, I just bypassed it by directly using gpg
[06:07] <rdz> usser, could it be, that like the way i did it, i screwed up the newline characters or something?
[06:07] <ibara_> gerath, you could give Deluge a try. I like it.
[06:07] <A2t3c13> yea theres beer too where i live
[06:07] <QueenAnya> I am new to this all and I am trying to get earthlink mail account on evolution mail on ubuntu
[06:07] <usser> rdz: that's probably what happened
[06:07] <swarm> suggestions for wireless connection managers?
[06:07] <EJ> well all, i am gunna watch some tv b4 bed time, i will see ya all tomorrow, thank for the help and take care
[06:08] <rdz> usser, but the file i had before looked exactly the same and whether seahorse nor gpg wanted to accept it
[06:08] <gerath> Thank Ibara is it in the Synaptic pack
[06:08] <rdz> usser, anyway, it is imported... thanks a lot
[06:08] <QueenAnya> please help
[06:09] <QueenAnya> it says Could not connect to pop.mindspring.com: Connection refused
[06:09] <usser> rdz: well heh don't know )) no problem
[06:09] <avt3kk> ok so can someone post the link to the new version of ubuntu that you can join yahoo chat with?
[06:10] <|brad|> avt3kk, what?
[06:10] <rdz> argh.... now i get: Could not create message.
[06:10] <rdz> Because "gpg: using PGP trust model
[06:10] <rdz> gpg: using subkey D14BBCEE instead of primary key 1F25853C
[06:10] <rdz> gpg: D14BBCEE: There is no assurance this key belongs to the named user
[06:10] <rdz> gpg: [stdin] : encryption failed: unusable public key
[06:10] <rdz> ", you may need to select different mail options.       when trying to send the message........
[06:10] <rdz> i give up....
[06:11] <swiftnomad> dont give up!
[06:11] <RangerDave> i gave up :)

[06:11] <RangerDave> ubuntu wont work on my laptop
[06:11] <usser> rdz: that's probably because you have to sign the key with your own private key signifying that you trust the guy
[06:11] <RangerDave> lol
[06:11] <|brad|> you should never smile while saying that
[06:11] <avt3kk> Brad I need the version of ubuntu that you can join yahoo chat
[06:11] <rdz> usser, ah ok...
[06:11] <usser> rdz: use seahorse to create your own keypair
[06:11] <rdz> usser, thanks for your patience.... i am such a nooob....at least to encryption..
[06:11] <rdz> usser, thanks a lot..
[06:11] <QueenAnya> I am new to this all and I am trying to get earthlink mail account on evolution mail on ubuntu, it says Could not connect to pop.mindspring.com: Connection refuse

[06:12] <avt3kk> yes
[06:12] <usser> rdz: glad to help, we're only making the world a better place, if everyone had used the encryption imagine what that would be
[06:13] <avt3kk> someone said theres a new version
[06:13] <nickrud> QueenAnya: did you set up username and password correctly, check that
[06:13] <swiftnomad> rdz, I may can help you.
[06:13] <swarm> SpudDogg, Your "its a driver error" got me thinking, and you were right - but ndisgtk wouldn't remove the driver, so i removed it manually with rm -rf driverdir.... then i installed the proper one, and it all works. w00t w00t!

[06:18] <A2t3c13> there is a simple really nice  Back-up&Restore program very much like the restore option in the other OS I just put it in and it seemed too easy to be true. Why is this NOT inside my sytem already by default. There has to be a heck of a down side somewhere. This sure makes me feel more open to experimenting more with my settings etc And WHY isn't this the first thing a newbie is directed to...
[06:18] <bruenig> wifi radar > wicd
[06:18] <A2t3c13> ...download?
[06:18] <swarm> really?
[06:18] <swarm> i'll try that one too
[06:18] <usser> fatcatmatt: do you use gnome?
[06:18] <bruenig> A2t3c13, you need to calm the hell down
[06:18] <avt3kk> rebooting to windows
[06:18] <QueenAnya> okay got that
[06:18] <fatcatmatt> usser: yes
[06:18] <Doitle> I wish I were on linux right now :/ I want to Mahjohng and Lincity-NG
[06:18] <avt3kk> I have 400 emails to go through hahaha
[06:18] <johnben> all it says is this No LSB modules are available.
[06:18] <bruenig> A2t3c13, if you want to backup backup, we don't make you backup and suck disk space in the process
[06:18] <A2t3c13> im calm

[06:19] <gerath> ok
[06:19] <usser> fatcatmatt: you better ask someone else don't know much about gnome, it should be somewhere in desktop properties when you right click on the desktop
[06:19] <Doitle> Has my computer just been sitting there displaying molecules the whole time?
[06:19] <johnben> i have already installed it a month or two ago
[06:20] <nickrud> QueenAnya: I missed that, use my nick when you reply, it's easier to see
[06:20] <seraph34> swarm, I still can't get the drivers goin on mine... what are you running on?
[06:20] <Flannel> johnben: its just odd that you don't have that.  You've got 7.04 though.  As for your question, I don't know.
[06:20] <gerath> do you know of any better bittorrent engines i could use with Linux
[06:20] <swarm> Feisty

[06:20] <seraph34> swarm, actually, I was asking what card you're using
[06:21] <A2t3c13> why isnt sbackup in by default, its so nice and easy it would be like a given youd think
[06:21] <QueenAnya> okay I did that
[06:21] <swarm> WMP300N
[06:21] <BernieMac> I believe so
[06:21] <swarm> linksys wireless N card
[06:21] <BernieMac> seraph34, answer the man! did you or did you not!?
[06:21] <usser> rdz: no problem
[06:21] <bruenig> A2t3c13, if you want an OS to make you do things, you have plenty of choices out there
[06:21] <seraph34> swarm, RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01) running on MSI MegaBook L715
[06:21] <seraph34> Doitle, yeah, I logged as me on your pc
[06:21] <nickrud> QueenAnya: now, the Recieving options tab (and use nickrud on the lines, it's bright red in my client)
[06:21] <Doitle> woo it works
[06:22] <Doitle> was that so you could run more lincities simultaneously?
[06:22] <A2t3c13> make me do things?
[06:22] <johnben> never mind
[06:22] <swarm> ok, now I can go take this 150ft line of cat5 and put it back in the garage. hahaha
[06:22] <Doitle> compiz?
[06:22] <seraph34> no, I don't know what I got on for really... just to test it I guess

[06:22] <kanong> csd
[06:22] <swarm> gerath, try google?
[06:22] <Doitle> couldn't you just install like utorrent in wine gerath?
[06:22] <usser> gerath: there's ktorrent for kde
[06:23] <|brad|> ktorrent is nice
[06:23] <nickrud> QueenAnya: perfect. Now you have pop.<whatever> in server under Configuration?
[06:23] <fatcatmatt> gerath: i use ktorrent
[06:23] <pvl1> is there an ftp replacement, or something more effecient?
[06:23] <usser> pvl1: there's sftp
[06:23] <donkeegan> hi when i click on reload in my synaptic package manager it gets stuck downloading file 5 of 13 . how do i get a fresh copy of sources list
[06:23] <|brad|> pvl1, replacement for what?
[06:23] <bruenig> A2t3c13, I for one don't want wasted disk space on auto system restore nonsense, if you do, enable it. Don't cry when it isn't enabled by default
[06:23] <usser> pvl1: which is ftp with password and data encryption
[06:24] <pvl1> usser oh, hm dont really need either
[06:24] <nickrud> QueenAnya: <whatever> being the rest of your pop server's name
[06:24] <QueenAnya> nickrud: yeah I have that
[06:24] <usser> pvl1: what do you mean more efficient?
[06:24] <A2t3c13> why do you say enable it? as if it was already there?
[06:24] <nickrud> QueenAnya: ok, and for use secure connection choose no encryption
[06:25] <gerath> The problem that i have is my Cuz who i am staying with is a big windows lover and hates Linux and blocks out ports on the router and am just trying to find a Torrent program that works well with NAT
[06:25] <Creed> How do I change the DNS servers Ubuntu uses (CLI, non-gui)?
[06:25] <|brad|> Creed, what?
[06:25] <Doitle> I am a big windows lover but Linux is awesome too, tell him that he can learn to love both in time
[06:25] <QueenAnya> nickrud: okay did that
[06:25] <pvl1> usser: well after thinking about it, there cant be, i was thinking of something maybe faster or easier to use for other ppl.
[06:26] <Creed> |brad|, I dont use Gnome or KDE or anything, good old command line :) What file stores the information regarding DNS servers that Ubuntu uses?
[06:26] <|brad|> Creed, oh, /etc/resolv.conf
[06:26] <nickrud> QueenAnya: no put in your username , I don't know if earthlink requires the @earthlink.net or not, but it's the same you would use in outlook
[06:26] <Creed> |brad|, thanks! :)
[06:26] <Doitle> If you can run VMware to emulate linux in Windows, can you then run wine in that linux emulation and maybe even install vmware into the wine and re emulate linux a second time on the computer
[06:26] <|brad|> Creed, yup
[06:26] <Doitle> see how many concurrent linux installs you could get running at the same time lol
[06:26] <cdm10> Or you could just make multiple vm's on the same host... no need to make them nested.
[06:27] <A2t3c13> bruenig: actually i cant afford any disc space how much does it really eat up though as long as i erase the restore points that build up right, it cant be more then 10MB right?
[06:27] <|brad|> Doitle, you are crazy
[06:27] <Creed> |brad|, wouldnt happen to know how to flush the DNS would ya?
[06:27] <Doitle> It's like a mind blower
[06:27] <Doitle> nested linuxes
[06:27] <QueenAnya> nickrud: it seems to be working... i now need to add another one
[06:27] <|brad|> Creed, thats something that is done at the dns server
[06:27] <QueenAnya> do I need any security on ubuntu ??
[06:27] <nickrud> QueenAnya: you're getting mail ?
[06:28] <QueenAnya> yeah I did..
[06:28] <Creed> Doitle, lol Ive actually done that :P Got too sluggish after the 3rd nest.
[06:28] <bruenig> A2t3c13, depends on the approach, most competent people just do something like this: Oh I am about to modify a configuration file, cp configurationfile configurationfile.backup. But if you need a hand holder depending on how it works it might not hold too much
[06:28] <QueenAnya> nickrud: yeah I did
[06:28] <cdm10> QueenAnya: Generally, no. However, if you often share documents with Windows users, you may want to install an antivirus to avoid passing Windows viruses onto your Windows-using friends.
[06:28] <nickrud> QueenAnya: same routine for sending email, be sure to select no encryption
[06:28] <cdm10> !av | QueenAnya
[06:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about av - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:28] <Creed> |brad|, isnt there a command equivelent of "ipconfig /flushdns" from Windows in debian?
[06:28] <`Matir> Does anyone know why xrandr would only show one display on a radeon 9200 with DVI, VGA, and S-video output?
[06:28] <|brad|> Creed, oh i see what you are saying now.. hmm i dont know of anything
[06:29] <Creed> |brad|, thanks though :) Ill just reboot it
[06:29] <Creed> |brad|, lol ifconfig eth0 flushdns did the job :)
[06:29] <QueenAnya> nickrud: thank you soo much I was soo lost
[06:29] <nickrud> QueenAnya: np, I do like evolution :)
[06:29] <A2t3c13> besides i just want it until i finish up reading how the system works and find a few more things out,learn about  stuff in general.
[06:30] <seraph34> need wireless help/drivers for RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01) running on MSI MegaBook L715
[06:30] <A2t3c13> Brenig: then i planned on losing it after i try some things with my network confog
[06:31] <Alastiran> ahem: if im running 'apt-get install subversion' from my server and it's asking me for the 7.04 cd, is my server not correctly conencted to the internet?
[06:31] <QueenAnya> cdm10: so if I just use ubuntu I dont need portection
[06:31] <Madnez> hello?
[06:32] <cdm10> QueenAnya: as far as I know, no.
[06:32] <fatcatmatt> madnez: what's the deal
[06:32] <nickrud> Alastiran: no, you have a cdrom source enabled ; applications - add/remove -> preferences, and uncheck the cdrom
[06:32] <donkeegan> hi when i click on reload in my synaptic package manager it gets stuck downloading file 5 of 13 . how do i get a fresh copy of sources list
[06:32] <QueenAnya> thanks
[06:33] <fatcatmatt> haha
[06:33] <fatcatmatt> makes me hungry...too much ubuntu...no food :S
[06:33] <nickrud> !sourceomatic | donkeegan
[06:33] <ubotu> donkeegan: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[06:33] <Alastiran> nickrud: im running a command-line server, is there an equivlent file on the server edition somewhere?
[06:34] <donkeegan> tahnks
[06:34] <|brad|> anyone ever used redhat's directory server on ubuntu?
[06:34] <nickrud> Alastiran: yeah, in /etc/apt/sources.list, comment out the deb cdrom line
[06:34] <Alastiran> nickrud: ithanks, will do
[06:34] <verb3k_> guys does Pidgin support voice chat?
[06:34] <cdm10> verb3k_: no, it doesn't.
[06:34] <usser> verb3k_: no
[06:34] <|brad|> verb3k_, not yet at least
[06:34] <Madnez> anyone knows how to compile vulture?
[06:35] <usser> verb3k_: you can use twinkle for sip based telephony
[06:35] <verb3k_> I see ....thanks for the info
[06:35] <usser> verb3k_: or kopete for stuff like yahoo voice or msn or whatever proprietary protocols people use nowadays
[06:36] <dn4> what is a good cpu and motherboard to get now days preferably an AMD cpu, that is supported easily under ubuntu?
[06:36] <FIRESIDE91> Uhmmm
[06:37] <FIRESIDE91> There is no one perfect motherboard
[06:37] <michaelramm> hello to all!
[06:37] <dn4> well lets just got on cpu then
[06:37] <FIRESIDE91> Just "supported under ubuntu" is a little vague dn4
[06:37] <FIRESIDE91> What do you plan on doing?
[06:37] <usser> dn4: im getting myself amd 64 x2 5000+
[06:38] <unsober> wow, i'm never going in #linux again, all they do is harass people new to linux
[06:38] <dn4> usser:  yeah x2s are dirt cheap now days
[06:38] <`Matir> Does anyone know why xrandr only shows a single output available when I have DVI, VGA, and S-Video?  Is there a good document for setting up my xorg.conf for xrandr?
[06:38] <|brad|> unsober, yup they've beeb like that for years
[06:38] <dn4> FIRESIDE91: run ubuntustudio
[06:38] <|brad|> unsober, on just about every network too
[06:38] <usser> dn4: yea and its like a huge step forward for me )
[06:39] <FIRESIDE91> dn4, then yea, a AMD 64 X2 (preferably FX) would be great, especially the 5000+
[06:40] <doug__> where do i get the ubuntu 7.10 at?
[06:40] <dn4> usser: hehe anything now days is a huge step forward from 800mhz
[06:40] <cdm10> !gutsy | doug__
[06:40] <ubotu> doug__: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[06:40] <usser> dn4: heh yep
[06:41] <unsober> 7.04 was really buggy for me, kept getting tons of errors on the installs, had to do 6.06 :-/
[06:42] <bruenig> unsober, in defense, when you go in there and argue that wine is an emulator then you are asking for it. It's one thing to be new and asking a question, it's another thing to be new and then argue wrongly against people who know otherwise.
[06:42] <FIRESIDE91> Funny, 7.04 works better for me than the previous versions...
[06:43] <unsober> bruenig, first of all they're the ones that were attacking me, 2nd, look it up in the dictionary, wine is an emulator
[06:43] <pibe86> hello, do you recommend ubuntu ultimate?
[06:43] <unsober> emulate - "to imitate something"
[06:43] <dn4> would anyone perfer AMD 64 over Core 2 Duo from Pentium?
[06:44] <bruenig> unsober, it is not an emulator, it is a compatibility layer
[06:44] <unsober> and i would like to not argue in here, so don't bring it up
[06:44] <unsober> bruenig, you are ignorant also, do you not know the definition of emulate ?
[06:44] <bruenig> well don't attack a channel for correcting you
[06:44] <unsober> please look it up and stop talking
[06:45] <jetspyd> hello!
[06:45] <Geeunkown> anyone now how to get Vmware working with linux
[06:45] <UberGeekInc> dn4: depends on the usage
[06:45] <doug__> hmm 161 people in #ubuntu+1 and noone is answering
[06:45] <dn4> UberGeekInc: what do you mean?
[06:45] <|brad|> doesnt wine = Wine Is Not an Emulator?
[06:45] <bruenig> unsober, this is why they attacked you, you are ignorant
[06:46] <unsober> quit harassing me
[06:46] <jetspyd> i have a question: if i change the size of a partition (actualy its mounting point is /home) when i reboot it will works all fine?
[06:46] <unsober> anyone know how to block users on irc?
[06:46] <UberGeekInc> doug__: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[06:46] <doug__> thnks UberGeekInc
[06:46] <|brad|> unsober, ./ignore works
[06:46] <leopard-scythe> hmm
[06:46] <unsober> thanks
[06:46] <UberGeekInc> dn4: it can be a pain to configure on the desktop but for a server, I prefer it (unless the server is running something closed like Oracle)
[06:47] <jetspyd> can i do that?.... anyone?
[06:48] <chmura> siema all ^^
[06:48] <UberGeekInc> jetspyd: change the size how exactly?
[06:48] <jetspyd> UberGeekInc: expanding to the end of the disk
[06:49] <|brad|> jetspyd, if you unmout /home im pretty sure linux is not going to be happy
[06:49] <UberGeekInc> jetspyd: fdisk?  no, you will kill (at least) your home partition
[06:49] <jetspyd> UberGeekInc: i thinking in gparted with a live cd of ubuntu
[06:49] <franz> [user management & shell]  i tried chsh -s /bin/bash on one of my users but im getting a "PAM authentication failed" ...any ideas what it is and how to fix it?
[06:50] <UberGeekInc> jetspyd: cp -a the contents of home to somewhere else, unmount the partition, fdisk it to enlarge (ensuring no other partitions change), mount it, cp -a the contents back
[06:50] <|brad|> UberGeekInc, dont forget the -p
[06:50] <Geoffrey2> is 2GB generally sufficient for swap space?
[06:50] <|brad|> Geoffrey2, swap is supposed to be x2 the size of ram
[06:51] <UberGeekInc> |brad| -a includes -pdR
[06:51] <|brad|> UberGeekInc, nevermind ;)
[06:51] <jetspyd> UberGeekInc: thanxs
[06:51] <|brad|> hrmm, thats cool i did not know that. i can use that at work now
[06:52] <UberGeekInc> jetspyd: i assumed you were resizing an existing sys right?  if doing so on the install of ubuntu, then go for it
[06:53] <fatcatmatt> |brad|: when you are running mozilla, does it usually "grey out" when you swtich webpages?
[06:53] <|brad|> fatcatmatt, im not sure what you mean
[06:54] <Netham45> would it be possible to make it so if I switch from TTY 3 to TTY 2 then back to TTY 3 it asks for a password on TTY3?
[06:55] <bullgard4> During every cold start Ubuntu performs a 'sanitize start'. What is the purpose of this 'sanitize start'?
[06:55] <ectospasm> Netham45:  I don't think ttys have a notion of focus
[06:55] <bruenig> hmmm
[06:55] <Netham45> ectospasm, ok
[06:55] <fatcatmatt> |brad|: http://img473.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmq8.png
[06:55] <ectospasm> Netham45:  you could logout before you switch to tty2
[06:56] <UberGeekInc> Netham45: you might be able to do something with 'screen'
[06:56] <Netham45> ectospasm, I was looking for some way I could share a PC with my bro but keep my IRC(irssi) loaded on TTY 2
[06:56] <|brad|> Netham45, vlock
[06:56] <Netham45> my bro likes to mess with my IRC stuff if I leave it connected. >(
[06:56] <Netham45> ok
[06:56] <|brad|> Netham45, i think that will do what you are looking for
[06:56] <Netham45> ok
[06:56] <ectospasm> Netham45:  is he smart enough to know to switch to virtual terminal?
[06:57] <Netham45> ectospasm, yes.
[06:57] <ectospasm> Netham45:  so security through obscurity won't work
[06:57] <|brad|> ectospasm, vlock will do what he wants
[06:57] <Netham45> he is smart enough to know how to mess with me, and immature enough to mess with me
[06:57] <hortont> how about a screen session
[06:58] <Netham45> yea, someone suggested it
[06:58] <ectospasm> |brad|:  yeah, I don't use the virtual consoles much
[06:58] <Netham45> Ok, I'll look into these
[06:58] <ectospasm> screen could do it, but I only use screen a little
[06:58] <Netham45> I've used screen once
[06:59] <|brad|> fatcatmatt, in my experience, when it goes grey like that. its about to crash
[06:59] <Netham45> and I got bored. :D
[06:59] <fatcatmatt> |brad|: it crashes constantly
[06:59] <Netham45> someone was remote controlling my PC to troubleshoot a kernel module issue
[06:59] <Netham45> erm
[06:59] <Netham45> X11 module issue
[07:00] <Netham45> ook
[07:00] <Netham45> thanks for your help
[07:00] <|brad|> fatcatmatt, and looking at the title bar it looks like you were on youtube, thus using flash. flash and linux get along like oil and water
[07:00] <fatcatmatt> |brad|: any sort of fix you know of?  dang it...i like watching flash videos
[07:01] <|brad|> fatcatmatt, yell at adobe?
[07:01] <nickrud> fatcatmatt: I found if I was real frugal about extensions, I had fewer (in fact, very rare) crashes
[07:01] <ectospasm> letter bomb 'em, that may work
[07:01] <Netham45> =/
[07:02] <marky_b> alright, so I have a question about SPM. I installed an application from there (xvnc4viewer), so now how do i get that to show up in my Applications drop down list?
[07:02] <fatcatmatt> |brad|: well, it's the only problem i have with ubuntu.  hope it's the only one
[07:02] <|brad|> fatcatmatt, yea, flash has always been stupid like that
[07:02] <nickrud> marky_b: right click the applications bar, select edit and add a launcher.
[07:03] <Madnez> guys
[07:03] <ectospasm> fatcatmatt:  what arch are you using?
[07:03] <marky_b> ... omg. i'm retarded.
[07:03] <Madnez> why doesnt gnome nethack work?
[07:03] <|brad|> fatcatmatt, its one of my biggest probs as well
[07:03] <marky_b> right when you typed that i found it
[07:03] <marky_b> thx nickrud
[07:03] <cypher1> anybody know how to make the flash sound work through a usb headphone ?
[07:03] <fatcatmatt> ectospasm: youtube on mozilla
[07:03] <Madnez> keeps dying when you select race/class/gender
[07:03] <ectospasm> fatcatmatt:  no, 32bit, 64bit...
[07:03] <fatcatmatt> |brad|: im gonna miss my videos
[07:03] <eldergod10> can anyone help me with a window manager(gnome) probl?

[07:04] <ubotu> eldergod10: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:04] <Excelsio1> Can anyone help me reinstall Grub from livecd?
[07:04] <usser> fatcatmatt: you should not have any problems

[07:04] <fatcatmatt> usser: i hope not
[07:04] <XXer> what could make a port open and close? Im using canyouseeme.org to test a port and every time I check it it switches, open one time closed the next I know the router is set and iptables is set why is it doing this?
[07:04] <usser> fatcatmatt: it doesn't work at all?
[07:04] <ectospasm> fatcatmatt:  when you say "crashes", what do you mean?  Firefox crashes?  THe desktop locks up? etc...?
[07:04] <fatcatmatt> usser: crashes every 2-3 videos
[07:04] <|brad|> XXer, what port?
[07:04] <XXer> 54285
[07:05] <fatcatmatt> ectospasm: http://img473.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmq8.png
[07:05] <nickrud> Excelsio1: sort version: mount the root partition rw in the live cd,  sudo chroot /mnted/root   ; grub-install /dev/hda
[07:05] <fatcatmatt> usser: http://img473.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmq8.png
[07:05] <usser> XXer: that could be ftp
[07:05] <fatcatmatt> ectospasm: firefox
[07:05] <|brad|> XXer, when you see it open do netstat -tapn | grep <port_number>
[07:05] <|brad|> XXer, and see what program is grabbing that port
[07:05] <eldergod10> ok, well after starting beryl up, then shutting it down, I have no bars at the top of my windows and when I go to settings>preferences>windows to try and fix it, it says some error about your window manager "unknown" has not registered a config tool

[07:06] <eldergod10> well I did, but uninstalled beryl and desktop effects
[07:06] <ectospasm> fatcatmatt:  count yourself lucky... *sometimes* Firefox+x86_64+nvidia hard locks my system
[07:06] <fatcatmatt> usser: keeps saying it's still open so i cant start it back up
[07:07] <fatcatmatt> ectospasm: is that telling you something?  maybe you should run x86 cause i have x86_64 here but dont run it
[07:07] <Excelsio1> Can anyone help me reinstall Grub from livecd?
[07:07] <usser> fatcatmatt: nice bookmarks you got there ))) lol

[07:07] <fatcatmatt> funny videos
[07:07] <fatcatmatt> ahh, ectospasm...upgrade time!
[07:07] <nickrud> Excelsio1: sure, boot the live cd, let me know when it's up
[07:08] <eldergod10> the big problem is, when a window opens, it covers my applications menu and I cna't move the windows, so I can't even have more than one window open
[07:08] <ectospasm> fatcatmatt:  you gonna finance my upgrade? (-;
[07:08] <fatcatmatt> hells no, ectospasm.  ask your mom
[07:08] <nickrud> eldergod10: you could try:    metacity --replace
[07:08] <usser> fatcatmatt: why don't you try opera
[07:08] <fatcatmatt> i will check into it, usser
[07:08] <eldergod10> is there a way to open a terminal window via the keyboard?
[07:09] <nickrud> eldergod10: alt-f2  gnome-terminal
[07:09] <eldergod10> otherwise I have to leave here lol
[07:09] <eldergod10> ahh, yes forgot
[07:09] <nickrud> f1 gets the menus
[07:09] <fatcatmatt> not in add/remove, usser?
[07:09] <eldergod10> hmm alt-f2 does nothing
[07:09] <nickrud> f1 should get a menu going
[07:10] <fatcatmatt> im about to alt-f2 this POS out the door, eldergod10!
[07:10] <fatcatmatt> friggen smacktop pos heap of a turd!
[07:10] <usser> fatcatmatt: I don't think opera is there http://www.opera.com/download/?platform=linux
[07:11] <fatcatmatt> hp sucks!  dont ever get it!  i rate the HP Pavillion DV9230US Laptop....a TURD!  (what i'm using)
[07:11] <Geoffrey2> generally, whenever I see instructions to untar something, I see the same four default flags after the tar command, can someone tell me what four letters they are?
[07:11] <eldergod10> but why can I not access the gnome windows  manager tool? did berylchange a config file or somthing?
[07:11] <sarloth_> I am using Xubuntu and I cannot seem to make the screen resolution go any higher than 800x600, I know the laptop screen can at least handle 1024x768, can anyone tell me how to change this?
[07:11] <usser> fatcatmatt: download the .deb open up console navigate to where you downloaded it and do sudo dpkg -i operaname.deb
[07:11] <fatcatmatt> usser: whenever mozilla works, i will look for the install wiki
[07:12] <usser> fatcatmatt: haha lol just kill mozilla
[07:12] <fatcatmatt> usser: about to wrap this turd in tin foil and throw it on the campfire
[07:12] <mdmarek> Geoffrey2: you mean tar -zxvf ?
[07:12] <fatcatmatt> usser: i did kill mozilla, but it says it's still open
[07:12] <Geoffrey2> mdmarek, that's it, thanks :)
[07:13] <nickrud> Geoffrey2: z for zlib, x for xtract  v for verbose f for file
[07:13] <usser> fatcatmatt: you really don't need mozilla you can do that in console
[07:13] <usser> fatcatmatt: http://www.opera.com/download/get.pl?id=29672&location=175&nothanks=yes&sub=marine
[07:13] <fatcatmatt> i'll be back in 5 minutes to restart this thing, if it's not frying right now

[07:13] <nickrud> brasileiro-gauch: use series
 Im not sure what Im looking at but the only thing that looks like a programs name in the list is java
[07:14] <|brad|> XXer, get the PID
[07:14] <brasileiro-gauch> nickrud, sorry, can you be more verbose? I speak portuguese, what is series?
[07:14] <marky_b> wow.. i'm learning a lot just reading this channel :)
[07:14] <nickrud> brasileiro-gauch: is this in writer, or in calc?
[07:14] <|brad|> XXer, once you have the PID you can do a ps -ef | grep <pid>
[07:14] <sarloth_> I am using Xubuntu and I cannot seem to make the screen resolution go any higher than 800x600, I know the laptop screen can at least handle 1024x768, can anyone tell me how to change this?

[07:15] <brasileiro-gauch> oh no!
[07:15] <brasileiro-gauch> oo just don't accept that I start a list from a number different than 1.
[07:15] <sarloth_> Thanks for the link, I will check it out.
[07:15] <XXer> |brad| thats way over my head
[07:15] <brasileiro-gauch> It is what a call from stupid artificial inteligence
[07:16] <nupe> question
[07:16] <brasileiro-gauch> maybe "call by" be more correctly
[07:16] <nickrud> brasileiro-gauch: format -> paragraph, numbering
[07:16] <eldergod10> whoever told me to try "metacity -replace" thanks, it work, all back to normal
[07:16] <nupe> someone did /usr/local;sudo bin/nepenthes
[07:16] <nupe> why didnt they do &&sudo
[07:16] <brasileiro-gauch> nickrud, humm.. cool
[07:16] <nupe> whats the diff between ; and &&
[07:17] <usser> nupe: I think && is unconditional and ; only works if the last command was succesful, someone correct me if im wrong
[07:18] <nickrud> usser: the opposite :)
[07:18] <fatcatmatt> ya know what? i'm gonna reinstall ubuntu and see what happens
[07:18] <brasileiro-gauch> nickrud, it worked now! thanks! I can't understand why programmers don't considered that if I type 8. instead of 1. I want my list start from eight!
[07:18] <usser> nupe: take the opposite of what I said
[07:18] <usser> fatcatmatt: don't do that
[07:18] <brasileiro-gauch> nickrud, do you?
[07:18] <nickrud> brasileiro-gauch: styles are really confining, but infinitely malleble
[07:18] <usser> fatcatmatt: unless there's really strong reason to do that

[07:19] <PacificBlaze> the best linux version
[07:19] <fatcatmatt> usser: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... it's ... ... ... ... ... ... ... inevitable!
[07:19] <nupe> ah okay
[07:19] <nupe> thanks
[07:19] <brasileiro-gauch> yeah
[07:19] <usser> fatcatmatt: yea but what's the problem, there's nothing that can't be fixed
[07:19] <nickrud> brasileiro-gauch: but that would really be cool :)
[07:19] <sonex> How do I install dolphin on ubuntu? I don't see a package for it in synaptic.
[07:20] <fatcatmatt> usser: my disk dont automount now...i'm tired of this install...and i just want a kitten!
[07:20] <brasileiro-gauch> nickrud, of course. It is the first thing they (programmers) should think.
[07:20] <usser> fatcatmatt: heh oh well so be it
[07:20] <fatcatmatt> usser:  don't be a kitten!
[07:21] <nickrud> sonex: it won't be in ubuntu until kde4 is
[07:21] <fatcatmatt> usser -> poodum cat?
[07:21] <MongooseWA> anyone able to help me with getting avant window navigator to work?
[07:21] <brasileiro-gauch> Well.. it's free software. I paid nothing for it.. So I can't complain
[07:21] <usser> fatcatmatt: huh??
[07:21] <fatcatmatt> usser: atta boy!
[07:21] <gusto5> hello, can anyone teach me how to configure oidentd? i have it installed, but i dont know what to do beyond that
[07:22] <usser> fatcatmatt: eh, weirdo )))
[07:22] <nickrud> brasileiro-gauch: maybe not complain, but add a wishlist bug to openoffice wouldn't hurt (probably already there, though)
[07:22] <usser> fatcatmatt: did you call me a cat? or what I don't understand
[07:22] <fatcatmatt> nevermind, usser
[07:22] <fatcatmatt> how old are you anyways?
[07:23] <usser> fatcatmatt: 21
[07:23] <fatcatmatt> ahh coo coo
[07:23] <fatcatmatt> im 22
[07:23] <scguy318> gusto5: man oidentd.conf
[07:23] <gusto5> scguy318, what do i do in the configuration file?
[07:23] <fatcatmatt> usser: http://www.myspace.com/mattgvbt
[07:23] <brasileiro-gauch> yes.. but I need to finish my work first. I'm translating an scientific article.. Oh, how happy I should be when google or something else be able to do it correctly to me
[07:24] <scguy318> gusto6: edit it?

[07:24] <gusto5> thanks scuguy
[07:24] <Kwanun> when i try to install ubuntu i got a can't access tty error
[07:25] <scguy318> Kwanun: are you using the LiveCD? try booting with all_generic_ide
[07:25] <Weng_Lap> Is it just me or is Amarok the most unstable piece of software ever conceived?
[07:25] <scguy318> Kwanun: press F6 at LiveCD menu, press space, then type all_generic_Ide
[07:25] <scguy318> Kwanun: all_generic_ide
[07:25] <jkpj> I've been using Ubuntu for 6 months now.. but I'm having a problem.. randomly, sometimes once a week, sometimes twice a day, my computer will freeze solid, my mouse pointer will disappear, and either my screen will go black but my computer will continue to function normally otherwise, or a bunch of random dark colored lines will fill my screen..
[07:25] <jkpj> this doesn't happen in KDE unless i'm running GTK+ apps
[07:25] <jkpj> i have Intel i810 video btw
[07:25] <Ste-Foy> gnome
[07:25] <Kwanun> is there a install disc and a livecd? i just downloaded the 7.04 desktop version off ubuntu website
[07:26] <nickrud> Kwanun: the fix depends on your hardware;  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3351876  has several possible solutions
[07:26] <usser> fatcatmatt: nice one, I hate myspace though
[07:26] <Myrtti> Weng_Lap: yes, evolution is far more unstable
[07:26] <scguy318> Kwanun: the LiveCD is the install CD
[07:26] <Geoffrey2> is there a command to display total physical memory in the computer?
[07:26] <PacificBlaze> Guys how to make a cloak for IRC nickname ?
[07:26] <fatcatmatt> usser: yeah, i like the video i got up there right now.  stinkin hillarious!
[07:26] <Weng_Lap> Myrtti: Thanks.
[07:26] <scguy318> Geoffrey2: free
[07:26] <Kwanun> i also got a pci : failed to allocate mem resource
[07:26] <dn4> does ubuntu support nvidia SLI technologies
[07:26] <usser> fatcatmatt: haha it is ironic how you can't play it )))] 
[07:26] <scguy318> Kwanun: have you tried my suggestion yet?
[07:27] <jkpj> anyone have any suggestions?
[07:27] <fatcatmatt> usser: i can watch myspace videos, just not youtube
[07:27] <nickrud> Myrtti: no, it's not, it crashes at least .9 times less
[07:27] <Kwanun> umm not yet
[07:27] <Kwanun> but b4 i even got to tty screen
[07:27] <Kwanun> some error show up about the pci failed to allocate mem resource
[07:27] <nickrud> Kwanun: that's a harmless one, the job control is the issue
[07:27] <scguy318> dn4: the latest nVidia driver supports I think
[07:28] <usser> fatcatmatt: weird
[07:28] <fatcatmatt> usser: yup, completely
[07:28] <Weng_Lap> Kwanun: Don't worry about the PCI error. I've gotten that on every box I've ever installed Ubuntu on, and probably on half a dozen boxes running other flavors of Linux.
[07:29] <Geoffrey2> yep, I have 2GB of physical memory, so my swap space should be 4GB, i suppose, though it appears none of it is actually being used at present
[07:29] <fatcatmatt> usser: i wont switch back to vista tho, hate the os like nothin else
[07:29] <scguy318> Geoffrey2: no need, the 2x rule is very dated
[07:29] <Kwanun> after typing that parameters,installation will proceed as normal?
[07:29] <IcemanV9> jkpj: you may want to take a look at a few log files to figure out what's going on with your box --> (/var/log/) message, dmesg, syslog, Xorg.xx.log
[07:29] <scguy318> Geoffrey2: if your computer is so worked that 4 GB of swap is needed, you need more mem ;)
[07:29] <Weng_Lap> (and at present count, I've brought 2740 Ubuntu boxes into the world.)
[07:30] <jkpj> IcemanV9: okay
[07:30] <scguy318> Kwanun: hopefully, yes
[07:30] <scguy318> Kwanun: F6 at LiveCD menu, space, all_generic_ide, enter
[07:30] <nickrud> Weng_Lap: busy boy, there
[07:30] <pedro> sorry but i have an doubt about this?, how long swap i need if my ram is 1GB
[07:30] <fatcatmatt> usser: just too easy to use
[07:30] <Weng_Lap> nickrud: Nah, it's all automated. Refurbish factory setup.
[07:31] <nickrud> Weng_Lap: very busy good boy then
[07:31] <usser> fatcatmatt: vista's drm is the big pain in the ass
[07:31] <usser> fatcatmatt: aahahaha the video is f..in hillarious
[07:31] <fatcatmatt> it's addicting, usser!  haha
[07:31] <m0u5e> anyone here got a ubuntu pc from dell yet?
[07:31] <m0u5e> just curious :D
[07:31] <usser> yea he's dead allright
[07:32] <Weng_Lap> Granted, most of them seem to become Pirate-Windows boxes within a few hours of delivery. You know, since we had a misprint in the manual giving them the wrong UserID for a few months, and nobody ever called to ask how to log in.
[07:32] <mdmarek> m0u5e: i just got a Dell Vostro 1500
[07:32] <jkpj> IcemanV9: /var/log/message is empty, dmesg doesn't have anything out of the ordinary from what i can tell, neither does syslog, and Xorg.xx.log is empty
[07:32] <m0u5e> mdmarek: nice, running *buntu on it?
[07:32] <Kwanun> ok scguy i will reboot and try again
[07:32] <Kwanun> thanks
[07:32] <mdmarek> m0u5e: yes, ubuntu gusty
[07:33] <scguy318> pedro: 1 GB is just fine, bigger if you plan to hibernate
[07:33] <m0u5e> mdmarek: mm hows it run? :)
[07:33] <fatcatmatt> haha
[07:33] <m0u5e> seperate question: anyone know if they've incorporated using shift and ctrl w/ nautilus file selection into gnome yet?
[07:33] <jkpj> oh i see
[07:33] <jkpj> doh
[07:33] <jkpj> they're numbered
[07:33] <Geoffrey2> oh, can swap be placed in a logical partition?
[07:33] <scguy318> Geoffrey2: yes
[07:34] <mdmarek> m0u5e: it runs well. there was only 1 problem. i needed to install from the text mode cd not the normal graphical install
[07:34] <scguy318> Geoffrey2: you prob want a swap > 2 GB if you plan to hibernate just in case ;)
[07:34] <nickrud> hah, ha, Weng_Lap just check back in
[07:35] <gemim[BR] > hi
[07:35] <cjracker> hi
[07:35] <bullgard4> During every cold start Ubuntu performs a 'sanitize start'. What is the purpose of this 'sanitize start'?
[07:35] <jkpj> IcemanV9: okay, i found something:
[07:35] <jkpj> (WW) I810(0): xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 1024 pages failed
[07:35] <jkpj>         (Cannot allocate memory)
[07:35] <nickrud> m0u5e: nautilus has had that since the 0.x days, what are you talking about?
[07:36] <IcemanV9> jkpj: hmm? empty after 6 months of use? i used logs to solve my box shut down randomly (it was due to a faulty fan).
[07:36] <sandy> can anyone tell me how to install joomla
[07:36] <scguy318> bullgard4: liek the kernel message? uninformed speculation but zeroing mem?
[07:36] <jkpj> IcemanV9: i just did a reinstall
[07:36] <jkpj> i was using Kubuntu for a while, but it was a little slow
[07:36] <IcemanV9> jkpj: that is not the cause ...
[07:36] <`EJ> \\'elcome ack Jesusbird
[07:37] <bullgard4> scguy318: Sorry, I do not understand your message. Please say it in other words.
[07:37] <IcemanV9> jkpj: did you install xserver-xorg-driver-i810?
[07:37] <scguy318> bullgard4: i think the "sanitize start" is the kernel writing zeros to memory?
[07:37] <HLM> !joomla
[07:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about joomla - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:37] <m0u5e> nikrud: weird? when i use it, it wont allow me to select files as i choose, alternating between using contrl and shift
[07:38] <XXer> |brad| I reinstalled all java apps on the computer and now the port is staying open (did this help or was it just a fluke)
[07:38] <bullgard4> scguy318: Aha!
[07:38] <sandy> i want to unzip joomla into /var/www/joomla from me desktop , to install joomla what to do?
[07:38] <m0u5e> nickrud: try selecting a bunch of files using shift click, then selecting a single file randomly using ctrl, and then reselecting a bunch of files without it deselecting the files y ou just selected
[07:38] <jkpj> IcemanV9: yes, apt says it's the latest version
[07:38] <m0u5e> nickrud: it would never do that for me
[07:38] <gemim[BR] > #gnome
[07:38] <m0u5e> nickrud: i got so frustrated with that single thing, that i switched to using thunar
[07:38] <nickrud> m0u5e: ah, I see. yes, no, it doesn't
[07:39] <m0u5e> nickrud: hmmm if you using thunar w/ gnome rather than nautilus, will you be able to access samba shares?
[07:39] <IcemanV9> jkpj: any lines with (EE) in your Xorg log file?
[07:39] <sandy>  i want to unzip joomla into /var/www/joomla from my desktop , to install joomla what to do? some one help me plz
[07:39] <m0u5e> err sorry that was a general question, not just directed towards you lol :D
[07:39] <nickrud> m0u5e: I use the command line for nearly everything filesystem related it doesn't bother me. And, I don't think I've tried thunar for 3 or 4 years now
[07:40] <Gwanun> scguy
[07:40] <Gwanun> im unable to bootup the xserver
[07:40] <m0u5e> nickrud: i like thunar more than nautilus, its just that it doesnt have integrated samba support
[07:40] <nickrud> m0u5e: but I would probably use it if it was there
[07:40] <zerocool> hey chat
[07:40] <|brad|> fatcatmatt, try break.com for the videos...
[07:40] <m0u5e> nickrud: nautilus is slow compared to thunar too :(
[07:40] <nickrud> m0u5e: one of these days I'll get that 'integrated samba support' operational
[07:40] <jkpj> IcemanV9: there's "(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable" but that doesn't seem fatal
[07:40] <m0u5e> nickrud: lol that would be awesome :D
[07:40] <sandy>  i want to unzip joomla into /var/www/joomla from my desktop , to install joomla what to do? some one help me plz
[07:40] <fatcatmatt> |brad|: i know of the site
[07:41] <nickrud> m0u5e: no, in my nautilus.
[07:41] <cjracker> ill help you, sandy, you don't want joomla
[07:41] <|brad|> fatcatmatt, thats the only video site i can get to at work
[07:41] <m0u5e> nickrud: it's the main reason i'm not installing xubuntu on my new laptop, its cause i need to access windows root$ shares, and if i dont have integrated samba, it wont let me :(
[07:41] <Gwanun> scguy,im able to boot using all_generic_ide but i got a xserver error
[07:41] <m0u5e> nickrud: doesnt nautilus already have integrated samba support? :X
[07:41] <|brad|> without a proxy and im not about to do that. my arse would be in a sling
[07:41] <m0u5e> nickrud: it accessed my windows shares without any trouble
[07:42] <immutzz> loha smua
[07:42] <IcemanV9> jkpj: yeah. it doesn't cause the screen to freeze or go black.
[07:42] <Gwanun> scguy,im able to boot using all_generic_ide but i got a xserver error
 i want to install joomla . but for that i need to unzip joomla to /var/www/joomla
[07:42] <nickrud> m0u5e: By getting that integrated samba working, I mean get a linux box with samba on it. I don't have a windows machine.
[07:42] <cjracker> ok lemme see how i can help.. which joomla?
[07:42] <jkpj> i'm completely stumped, and no one else i've talked to has been able to figure anything out
[07:42] <cjracker> where did you download it from?
[07:42] <scguy318> Gwanun: you'll have to use the alternative CD to install
[07:42] <jkpj> but i figured i would ask here
[07:42] <m0u5e> nickrud: just install samba? *buntu makes it pretty easy to do it :X
[07:42] <nickrud> Find a network I need it with, first :)
[07:42] <scguy318> Gwanun: then, when you have installed Ubuntu, we can fix the x-server error
[07:43] <m0u5e> nickrud: at least when i tried it, ubuntu seemed to handle samba shares flawlessly
[07:43] <IcemanV9> jkpj: anything from ubuntu forums?
[07:43] <Gwanun> i can't install it
[07:43] <Gwanun> it brings me to terminal
[07:43] <m0u5e> nickrud: lol just get a windows machine with like winXP on it, and do a \\%computername%\c$
[07:43] <jkpj> IcemanV9: i haven't asked there yet, i didn't think of that.. i'll go post now
[07:43] <nickrud> m0u5e: ick :)
[07:43] <IcemanV9> jkpj: search first to see if there is a few threads :)
[07:44] <scguy318> Gwanun: you will have to download the alternative CD to install Ubuntu
[07:44] <jkpj> that's what i was gonna do
[07:44] <jkpj> :D
[07:44] <m0u5e> nickrud: next time your at a friends house who is using windows, ask them their computer name and type it in, then ask them to input the password, it should work
[07:44] <Gwanun> which is that
[07:44] <scguy318> Gwanun: in the download page, you check the Alternative CD checkbox
[07:44] <nickrud> m0u5e: I'm sure it would ;)
[07:44] <scguy318> Gwanun: you could also try this in LiveCD terminal
[07:44] <IcemanV9> jkpj: sorry. only problem with i810 that i have was screen resolution. nothing else (likes yours) :/
[07:44] <Gwanun> what's the difference
[07:45] <scguy318> Gwanun: the alternative CD is text-based I think, and will be guaranteed to load correctly
[07:45] <jkpj> IcemanV9: hmm, i'll post something then, if i can remember my username
[07:45] <Gwanun> where there be graphical after installation?
[07:45] <Gwanun> btw what was the thing to try on livecd terminal
[07:45] <IcemanV9> jkpj: jkpj! ;)
[07:45] <jkpj> i don't use this very much
[07:45] <sandy> how to open .dmg file in ubuntu

[07:47] <DeviantGeek> /whoami
[07:47] <scguy318> sandy: dmgs are basically HFS partition files, so you could simply mount it loopback
[07:47] <Myrtti> !repeat | sandy
[07:47] <ubotu> sandy: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[07:47] <cjracker> i think a dmg is like an iso, but for mac?

[07:48] <IcemanV9> sandy: there is a wiki on joomla https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joomla?highlight=%28joomla%29
[07:48] <Gwanun> yea
[07:48] <scguy318> Gwanun: i think u get dropped to login prompt, the LiveCD user is ubuntu/ubuntu I think
[07:49] <scguy318> Gwanun: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is worth a shot, though I think the alternative CD is best
[07:49] <cjracker> hosting co i work for is considering charging extra from joomla cause its so much trouble.. exploits out the wazoo
[07:49] <sandy> IcemanV9  chown -R www-data:www-data  /var/www/joomla Output is chown: cannot access `/var/www/joomla': No such file or directory

[07:51] <sandy> i am new i dont know
[07:51] <mdmarek> cjracker: if you had httpd (apache) running that would be the document root
[07:51] <Gwanun> ok im rebooting to try again
[07:51] <sandy> see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1279952

[07:51] <scguy318> Gwanun: i really feel that is your best bet to successful install, else
[07:51] <cjracker> mdmarek, that *could* be the document root if you set it as such in your apache config, and didnt change it in any httpd.include files
[07:51] <scguy318> !install | Gwanun

[07:53] <sandy> IcemanV9 i need to unzip joomla to /var/www/joomla who to do it?
[07:54] <Creed> cjracker, a few things actually. First Openfire (/home/ron/openfire/bin/openfire start) then pyaimt and pymsnt (in screen sessions)
[07:54] <mdmarek> cjracker: thats true, the doc root could be changed
[07:54] <wolfmanz> scguy318 ya or atleastr the web page says it is but when i folled the install instructions for ubuntu i eneded up with version 0.9.44 and i'm not sure whats wrong
[07:54] <scguy318> wolfmanz: your best bet is to wait for the debs in a day or two
[07:54] <cjracker> okay Creed i would move the openfire to /etc/init.d/
[07:54] <Creed> cjracker, wouldnt that break the program?
[07:55] <cjracker> aah, okay, you want to run it in place
[07:55] <Creed> Yeah :(
[07:55] <cjracker> you could just make a file called openfire in /etc/init.d/
[07:55] <Creed> lol Need to use some form of organization
[07:55] <kiran_mac_> hi i am using postgresql 8.2 and pgadmin  1.4. i want to install latest version of pgadmin. it is not available in synaptic. how do i that?
[07:55] <IcemanV9> sandy: sudo tar xvjf <joomla> /var/www/joomla ?
[07:56] <sandy> ok wait i will try
[07:56] <cjracker> and inside of it, have it say #!/bin/bash
[07:56] <PacificBlaze_>  /msg nickserv link <pacificblaze> <permanent>
[07:56] <scguy318> wolfmanz: ahh, you'll just have to wait a day or two
[07:56] <CorpseFeeder> Is an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 supported under Ubuntu?
[07:56] <scguy318> wolfmanz: it takes a day or two for the debs to come
[07:56] <sandy> Icemanv9 output is bash: /var/www/joomla: Permission denied
[07:57] <cjracker> then /bin/bash ./home/ron/openfire/bin/openfire on the next line
[07:57] <cjracker> youd have to have start and stop scripts
[07:57] <wolfmanz> scguy318 ok thats cool was wondering though when installing the older version the gpg key was failing any idea why that was?
[07:57] <cjracker> well you wouldnt need them, but theyre polite
[07:57] <Geoffrey2> I'm trying to create a logical partition as ext2, and gparted has a fit every time I try....
[07:57] <scguy318> wolfmanz: you forgot to add the GPG key, and actuall, the 0.9.45 is in repos
[07:58] <IcemanV9> sandy: i think i have seen this error message before ... i am trying to remember why ... give me a few minutes
[07:58] <scguy318> wolfmanz: brb, gonna upgrade Wine (running mIRC)
[07:58] <Geoffrey2> it creates the partition, then fusses that the partition is mounted and it won't create a filesystem there
[07:59] <cjracker> and then run update-rc.d openfire defaults
[07:59] <wolfmanz> scguy318 if its in the repos why am i not getting 0.9.45 when following the instructions for ubuntu?
[07:59] <cjracker> but, you may want to run it later, after X starts up, depends, Creed
[08:00] <Kwanun> arg scguy, i don't know how to configure xserver..linux newb here ,do i download the text based installer instead?
[08:01] <Creed2> Sorry about that cjracker
[08:01] <Creed2> Internet died
[08:01] <cjracker> no worries
[08:02] <bullgard4> During every cold start Ubuntu performs a 'sanitize start'. What is the purpose of this 'sanitize start'?
[08:02] <Kwanun> how do i know which ubuntu to install?i got a intel centrino dual hp laptop
[08:02] <Creed2> bullgard4, to clean the germs of course!
[08:02] <scguy318> Kwanun: you want x86 alternate CD
[08:02] <Creed2> Kwanun, Install the Desktop CD (i386)
[08:02] <IcemanV9> sandy: same thing with drupal package as i did un tar the package couple weeks ago; try this: cp <joomla> /tmp/.; cd /tmp; tar xvfz <joomla>; sudo mv joomla /var/www/
[08:03] <Creed2> Oh oops laptop
[08:03] <scguy318> Creed2: hes having trouble with Desktop CD, dreaded X
[08:03] <cjracker> Creed2, you could do it the easy way and use System > Preferences > Sessions for startup after Gnome is up
[08:03] <bullgard4> Creed2: Can you elaborate?
[08:03] <Creed2> cjracker, its a server install :( No GUI
[08:03] <scguy318> Kwanun: you want the x86 alternate CD
[08:03] <Creed2> bullgard4, lol it was a joke
[08:03] <cjracker> yeah Creed2, youll want an init script then
[08:03] <bullgard4> Creed2: yes. Have a good day!
[08:03] <Kwanun> so i will download alternate disc to try now
[08:04] <IcemanV9> sandy: sorry, forgot to add this ..  remove the package before mv joomla into /var/www/
[08:04] <Kwanun> but livecd doesn't provide installation does it? it seems like its virtually loaded,whatever is save and when reboot everything is gone?
[08:04] <sandy> ya i worked thanks IcemanV9
[08:04] <sandy> it worked the package move into /www
[08:04] <Geoffrey2> one more try, I'm trying to use gparted to create a partition formatted as ext2, gparted refuses to do so, complaining that the partition is mounted and it can't create a filesystem there
[08:05] <icecruncher> can anyone tell me how to seed a torrent? i have the iso from earlier, now want to seed it
[08:05] <IcemanV9> sandy: terrific. enjoy the new package then. :)
[08:05] <scguy318> icecruncher: seed a pre-existing or make a new one?
[08:06] <sandy> thank you
[08:06] <kjro> hello there....
[08:06] <kjro> any idea where i could get some iptables help ?
[08:06] <scguy318> kjro: if you need a GUI for iptables, sudo apt-get install firestarter
 pre-existing one, one of ubuntu
[08:06] <m0u5e> hmm any of you have any recommendations for laptop security in the form of a cable lock? (is there another channel i should go to?)
[08:06] <kjro> that's new ....
[08:06] <scguy318> icecruncher: you would just start your BitTorrent software in seeding mode
[08:07] <cjracker> Creed2, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37482/
[08:07] <kjro> but now.. i need scripting help
[08:07] <icecruncher> scguy318: in deluge pls
[08:07] <m0u5e> scguy318: firestarter doesn't allow the configuration of multiple connections or NIC (such as wired and wireless)
[08:07] <MrLinux> who is free ?
[08:07] <m0u5e> icecruncher: deluge does not have superseed mode, all you can do is seed
[08:07] <MrLinux> I have a question..
[08:07] <MrLinux> ubuntu studio work on PPC ?
[08:08] <Kwanun> what's the difference between gusty and feisty
[08:08] <scguy318> m0u5e: didn't know that, thanks
[08:08] <kjro> scguy: i would need scripting help .... whit iptables ... i think i mixed up the rules... or did not understand them well
[08:08] <scguy318> Kwanun: Gutsy is a beta, Feisty is the latest stable
[08:08] <icecruncher> m0u5e: so to seed, I'd have to download the file again?
[08:08] <scguy318> !gutsy | Kwanun
[08:08] <ubotu> Kwanun: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[08:08] <cjracker> i can help kjro
[08:08] <scguy318> Kwanun: you just need: Feisty x86 alternative CD
[08:08] <scguy318> Kwanun: thats it
[08:08] <m0u5e> icecruncher: no, you just need to start up the torrent again, as soon as it hash checks (or if you have fastresume, it'll just resume) it'll start seeding automatically
[08:09] <m0u5e> icecruncher: unless... you've already removed the torrent, then you have to find the torrent again, and launch it in teh same directory you had downloaded to
[08:09] <icecruncher> m0u5e: kk, thnks, I'll try that (already deleted it)
[08:09] <pedro_> good night how can i upgrade from drapeer to festy without reinstall the full system
[08:10] <scguy318> pedro_: dist-upgrade? could be wrong tho
[08:11] <IcemanV9> !upgrade | pedro_
[08:11] <ubotu> pedro_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[08:11] <pedro_> ok thanks
[08:12] <m0u5e> when gusty is gold, will synaptic auto prompt for upgrade?
[08:12] <cjracker> i dont think so
[08:12] <m0u5e> or will we have to manually add repos?
[08:12] <m0u5e> darn -_-;
[08:12] <nicolas> hola
[08:12] <cjracker> i think youll have to change your sources.list
[08:12] <pyrak> i need a bit of help installing pidgin with ubuntu feisty
[08:12] <m0u5e> blassst
[08:12] <wolfmanz> scguy318 ok i just installed the deb file for 0.9.45
[08:12] <pyrak> can i do it through synaptic by tweaking some preferences?
[08:12] <cjracker> ive been on the same box since hoary, upgraded every time, no hitches
[08:13] <nickrud> m0u5e: it'll be a simple thing if it doesn't ; update-manager -c -d
[08:13] <kjro> cjracker: thx... so i have this connection:     INTERNET ------ media converter (optical) ----- ISP equipment ---- eth1 (on the server machine) ----iptables rules and ip forwarding --- eth0(on the server machine) --- switch and local network whit windows machines 192.168.0.0/24 are the local ip's
[08:13] <pyrak> (i have already tried their room, they said to check here)
[08:13] <ttyS1> hello, I have Ubuntu installed on a wide screen laptop. how can I configure xorg for wide screen ?
[08:14] <scguy318> ttyS1: your resolutions are being constrained to something like 1024x768?
[08:14] <cjracker> okay, so you get optical media coming in to your house?
[08:14] <cjracker> sweet
[08:14] <kjro> and i want to redirect all incoming connection on eth1 to a specified port to one specified ip address and port in the internal network... (for torrents)
[08:14] <ttyS1> scguy318: yes
[08:14] <kjro> cjracker: i though i did it ... but it seems it's not working
[08:14] <cjracker> what do you have now?
[08:14] <pyrak> anyone can help me install pidgin on edgy?
[08:15] <shellhack> hello everybody
[08:15] <kjro> cjracker: i have a variable that hold all the ports that need to be forwarded to one persons ip address
[08:15] <scguy318> pyrak: the way I did it was to add the Debuntu repo here: http://repository.debuntu.org/
[08:15] <shellhack> somebody knows how to limit the download rate of port 80
[08:15] <pipegeek> Anyone know what the deal is with automatix?
[08:15] <pipegeek> getautomatix.com seems to be down.
[08:15] <ttyS1> scguy318: I'm using 10024 x 768 I haven't tried any other resolutions
[08:15] <scguy318> ttyS1: if thats the case, a simple sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:16] <scguy318> ttyS1:should let you select higher resolutions
[08:16] <scguy318> ttyS1: basically just defaults until you reach resolution selection
[08:17] <ttyS1> ok lets see
[08:17] <kjro> and i made a for cycle that forwards trafic to them like this: IPTABLES -A FORWARD -d $int_ip -p tcp --dport $port -j ACCEPT
[08:17] <kjro> same whit udp..
[08:17] <kjro> cjracker: and i think i need to dnat them don't i ?

[08:31] <scguy318> hum-knux: im just another regular power user
[08:31] <brasileiro-gauch> I read "The drawbacks are that Ubuntu, with APT (the package manager for Ubuntu), currently does not support BiArch, which means you likely won't be able to install and run 32bit packages on your AMD64 install. This is a problem for users who wish to use Flash, w32 codecs, and WINE (for example), as they are only available for 32-bit. There are possible methods of getting it running, but they involve creating a c
[08:31] <brasileiro-gauch> hroot (see DebootstrapChroot), for example." in official FAQ, but I know it's WRONG!
[08:31] <swarm> hey all

[08:35] <vancomycin> hi, i am sure this has been asked countless times, it's 2:30am, and i was going to try ubuntu for the first time, but i only have a single partition (laptop came that way on xp OS) i read some posts re: slower hdd speeds when using wubi on a single partition. is there a link to where
[08:35] <tanath> can anyone help? i can't get rid of this package: http://pastebin.ca/698297

[08:35] <vancomycin> i can install ubuntu via dual boot w/ xp pro option and have a partition created prior to installing ubuntu?
[08:36] <orb2> Hi, I'm trying to boot my pc from the Ubuntu 64bit disk (I'm on a Windows XP Machine) so that I can install Ubuntu, but when I boot, after selecting to run Ubuntu from the CD I just get a black screen.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
[08:36] <scguy318> vancomycin: yes
[08:36] <IcemanV9> vancomycin: yep

[08:36] <ttyS1> scguy318:  yes but the settings came out all wrong my screen started half the size with 640x480 I had to restore the backup
[08:36] <scguy318> orb2: try alternate CD?
[08:36] <scguy318> ttyS1: wut card you have?
[08:36] <orb2> where do I get an alternate cd? :\

[08:37] <IcemanV9> ttyS1: do you see more resolution options to choose?
[08:37] <swarm> hmm... is compiz fusion easy to install?
[08:37] <DarkED> hi... i added 'Computer' to my desktop (like a shortcut) and i want to get rid of it, how do i do that?

[08:38] <vancomycin> i'm not sure if i was clear enough... can't get rid of xp on my laptop b/c i need it for my medical school colleagues / wanted to install a clean ubuntu and hoping to find a program that might partition my hdd , install ubuntu on that new partition and allow me to have an option to boot in xp when necessary - want to give this a whirl... long time ms user interested in transition.
[08:38] <allorder> nickrud: yes
[08:38] <orb2> Okay scguy318, thanks I'll try that

[08:38] <allorder> nickrud: let me show u log
[08:38] <DarkED> vancomycin, ubuntu livecd will do all of that for you
[08:39] <nickrud> allorder:   then most likely somethings wrong with the program, but you could try  sudo ldconfig
[08:39] <tanath> nickrud, shouldn't have happened in the first place though. i don't think the configuration/installation/removal of any package should depend on a net connection

[08:39] <DarkED> so anyone know how i get this icon off my desktop?

[08:43] <cjracker> nickrud, what do you get when you type ldconfig -p|grep ncurse ?
[08:44] <allorder> nickrud: ive searched for bug with libncurses.so.5: and ive found many thing maybe not matching mine but why when installed is doesnt work,,, ??
[08:45] <Creed> cjracker, glad youre still here ;) I got openfire to work but I cant get pyaimt to work, if I start it like openfire it stops things after it from booting....I cant figure out how to get it to start inside a screen, any chance you know how?
[08:45] <nickrud> cjracker: libncursesw.so.5 (libc6) => /lib/libncursesw.so.5     libncurses.so.5 (libc6) => /lib/libncurses.so.5   libncurses.so.5 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5    libncurses.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libncurses.so
[08:45] <cjracker> i dont know what openfire is, so let me see
[08:45] <vancomycin> @scguy318 / icemanv9 / darked : sorry for delayed response - living in the appalachian mountains... not sure what happened. thank you x 3 - why the wubi option out of curiousity? and this [live cd]  in y'alls opinion is the best option? btw, i came across all this news via digg :)
[08:45] <vancomycin> rather - why doesn't everyone just use the live cd then?
[08:45] <DarkED> vancomycin, wubi installs ubuntu inside a virtual partition on your windowsxp partition
[08:45] <Creed> cjracker, dont worry about openfire it works as its suposed to. I just want to start pyaimt which runs in the foreground (doesnt have a switch to make it run in the background). How would i start pyaimt?
[08:46] <scguy318> vancomycin: because some people don't like to resize partitions
[08:46] <DarkED> vancomycin, it's good in theory but it runs pretty slowly
[08:46] <Creed> DarkED, wubi runs slowly? thats news to me, performance wise its exact to a hardrive install of Ubuntu
[08:47] <allorder> nickrud: ive searched for bug with libncurses.so.5: and ive found many thing maybe not matching mine but why when installed is doesnt work,,, ??
[08:47] <scguy318> ttyS1: install read-edid package, pastebin the output of sudo get-edid | parse-edid
[08:47] <nickrud> allorder: now that I've done it, you should do       ldconfig -p|grep ncurse     and point it at cjracker
[08:47] <DarkED> Creed, it's slow when you copy files etc
[08:47] <Poet_with_a_Gun> Anyone know anything about tv out on an nvidia card?
[08:47] <DarkED> Creed, slower than a normal install
[08:47] <allorder> nickrud: ok thx, 2 secs
[08:48] <Creed> DarkED, youre crying about ~300KBib difference? Thats all Ive noticed on a Sata150 and sata300 drive
[08:48] <Poet_with_a_Gun> cause I'm thinking I wasted some $$$ upgrading cards. I think my on board 6100 was faster than this pci mounted 8400gs
[08:48] <amr> when i try to share a file i get this message hoe to fix it http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n289/drvista/screenshot1.jpg
[08:48] <DarkED> Creed, no, i'm crying about a 500mb file transfer taking 20 minutes as opposed to 2 minutes
[08:48] <disinterested> how would I delete the ubuntu os off my slave drive?
[08:49] <allorder> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37487/
[08:49] <nickrud> disinterested: just reformat it as whatever file type you like
[08:49] <Poet_with_a_Gun> I'd use a boot disk like ultimate boot disk to rub out the partition
[08:49] <nickrud> allorder: point it at cjracker
[08:49] <cjracker> Creed, so we want it to output to stdout?
[08:49] <jah> xWhat would be an easy way to install windows If I already intalle ubuntu, I just need windows for filling my mp3 player:(
[08:49] <scguy318> disinterested: whatever partitioner you desire can delete the Ubuntu OS partition, you'll have to reinstall w/e MBR
[08:49] <Creed> DarkED, so am I, the transfer speed is only slower by average 300KBps for me. Takes maybe 2 minutes and 30 seconds..Its a good alternate for people who, as scguy318 said, dont want ot mess with partitions.
[08:49] <nickrud> allbert: he knows those things better than I I would think
[08:50] <Creed> cjracker, stdout or null as I dont really need to ever look at what its doing.
[08:50] <DarkED> Creed, i never said it wasnt, i just said it's slower than a native install, which it is
[08:50] <allorder> nickrud: i dont know what u mean, i just posted log for the command
[08:50] <amr> http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n289/drvista/screenshot1.jpg how to fix this message to share files
[08:50] <allorder> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37487/
[08:50] <vancomycin> right right - well for now, i have about 8gb free out of 100gb hdd on a single partition. so if i use the tools on the live cd, would i ever be able to shift over more hdd space from my xp side (gradually will be deleting/archiving onto external hdd's , dvds)  to the ubuntu partition which i initially started with 8gb? eventually i would lets say would like to have 60gb on ubuntu and 40gb on xp. currently before running live cd, it is
[08:50] <Poet_with_a_Gun> disinterested: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page is the one I like to use.
[08:50] <arooni__> how can i get h264 .mp4 files t owork?
[08:51] <disinterested> nickrud: all i really want is it cleared off so i can use it for info storage
[08:51] <nickrud> by pointing it at him, I mean put it on a line with his name, so he sees it.
[08:51] <kjro> cjracker: any idea how i could check from remote if connection through port 40024 is redericted or not ?
[08:51] <Poet_with_a_Gun> arooni_: if you install automatix and ignore the legality warning I think you can get those codecs
[08:51] <Creed> vancomycin, yes you can do that, but be sure to do it from the livecd (not a third party utility) as in my experience, things go wrong when third party partiiton tools are used.
[08:51] <jah> What would be an easy way to install windows If I already intalle ubuntu, I just need windows for filling my mp3 player:(
[08:51] <Poet_with_a_Gun> No one knows of an easy way to get the tv out to work on my vid card?
[08:52] <aubade> jah: What player?
[08:52] <Creed> jah, install Windows to another partition (use GParted to create a partition for it). Then use the UbuntuLiveCD to fix Grub (as Windows WILL wipe it).
[08:52] <jah> sony:(
[08:52] <cjracker> kjro, you could try to do two tracepaths with different ports
[08:52] <nickrud> disinterested: cd to the mount point of the partition, and rm -rf * (I have always wanted to give that instruction legitimately :)
[08:52] <kidbuntu> !FLV
[08:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:52] <kidbuntu> is there a player here in ubuntu that could play FLV files?
[08:53] <Creed> kidbuntu, VLC plays it fine for me
[08:53] <jah> aubade: you ever heard of how to use sonicstage on ubuntu?
[08:53] <jah> Creed: thnx

[08:53] <recourse> How can I disable compositing in xfce without loading X? Is there a configuration file I can edit?
[08:53] <kidbuntu> Creed: is it avalailable in the add/remove application?
[08:53] <scguy318> ttyS1: sudo apt-get install read-edid
[08:54] <allorder> cjracker: hi so u can help me ?
[08:54] <scguy318> ttyS1: its universe repo
[08:54] <disinterested> how would i find the mount point of the partition though?
[08:54] <Creed> kidbuntu, Im not sure (on Windows atm). You can probably grab it off their site if its not in the add/remove.
[08:54] <nickrud> disinterested: df -h will list all your mounted partitions, the root would be the directory on the right
[08:55] <cjracker> yeah holon allbert
[08:55] <cjracker> err allorder
[08:55] <disinterested> ok i'll try it
[08:55] <swarm> hmm... compiz fusion freezes my system when i try to move a window.
[08:55] <swarm> works awesome in beryl
[08:55] <scguy318> kidbuntu: its in repos
[08:55] <vancomycin> creed - cool. yeah i don't plan on using ANY 3rd party utils/etc... just everything approved by the ubuntu team. so basically this live cd will let me do what i want, create a new partition with the limited space i have free (8gb for ubuntu) from xp's (92gb)  / install ubuntu on that new partition / allow me to dual boot to xp / later use the live cd again to free more space for ubuntu and decrease the space for xp > correct? :)
[08:56] <Creed> vancomycin, correct :) You can google for how to repair grub or I can go find the instructions for you :)
[08:56] <supernerd> how can i compile a program to be in 32 bit with make on a 64 bit linux system?
[08:56] <Poet_with_a_Gun> When GG comes out will I be able to use my TV out function? Or do I have to wait on Nvidia to get their act together?

[08:57] <vancomycin> i have a day off and was eager to try this out tonight - wiping 40-50gb from my xp side isn't happening tonight :)
[08:57] <ttyS1> scguy318: here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37488/
[08:58] <allorder> cjracker: sorry for disturb but can u help me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37487/
[08:58] <Creed> vancomycin, pretty much do this from the LiveCD to fix grub: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37489/
[08:58] <scguy318> ttyS1: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:58] <Creed> vancomycin, run those commands from terminal
[08:58] <scguy318> ttyS1: fiddle with the Section "Monitor" Horiz/Vsyncs
[08:58] <default_> anyone know the command to check which version of bluez is installed
[08:59] <scguy318> ttyS1: they are the ones that limit what reses you see I think
[08:59] <Poet_with_a_Gun> You guys see the article in the PCLinuxOs magazine about Ubuntu being over hyped?
[08:59] <nickrud> default_:  apt-cache policy <packagename>
[08:59] <scguy318> Poet_with_a_Gun: no, I don't read PCLinuxOS magazine
[08:59] <Creed> :( beaten by nickrud
[08:59] <Poet_with_a_Gun> I don't either, but was checking out their distro and it caught my eye.
[09:00] <ttyS1> scguy318:  ok thanks
[09:00] <vancomycin> ok creed thank you very much - i will note that down. where am i going to put the info you posted via the pastebin ?
[09:01] <Poet_with_a_Gun> I like ubuntu it's the only distro that didn't piss me off in the first 30 minutes of using it.
[09:01] <Creed> vancomycin, start livecd ubuntu and open terminal, then just run those commands
[09:01] <disinterested> nickrud: ok i found the partition i want to remove i used /dev/hdb1 rm -rf and it says permission denied?
[09:01] <Poet_with_a_Gun> It was forty minutes into it I found out I needed envy to get my vid card working right
[09:01] <nickrud> disinterested: did I say left? I meant right sorry
[09:01] <Creed> vancomycin, be sure to note the (hd0,1) portion, it (hdX,X) should be whichever drive/partiton menu.lst/stageX files are on (usually same partion as ubuntu)
[09:02] <default_> nickrud, thank you very much
[09:02] <allorder> I got an error when I want to execute regnum game; ./game: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, I have installed every library with synaptic that match /usr/lib/libncurse* what should I do ?

[09:02] <goon> Do exist linux registry cleaner like a ccleaner on windows?
[09:02] <fooforyou> for the love of god, no
[09:02] <Creed> goon linux doesnt use a registry heh
[09:02] <goon> :)
[09:02] <nickrud> default_: I take thanks where ever I can get them, but I don't remember exactly what for :)
[09:03] <BaD_CrC> did i see what i thought i just saw? linux registry?
[09:03] <Creed> BaD_CrC, indeed, shielf your eyes!
[09:03] <Creed> eh shield*
[09:03] <disinterested> nickrud:so does that mean i'd use /media/disc?
[09:03] <Poet_with_a_Gun> I'm still hoping someone has an easy fix for my lame tv out problem.
[09:03] <Creed> Poet_with_a_Gun, whats the problem?
[09:03] <nickrud> disinterested: yes. I'd do cd /media/disc first, just in case of any possible typo. That's one bad command
[09:03] <candyban__> Hi guys ... anyone familiar with the "run-parts" command?
[09:04] <Poet_with_a_Gun> It don't go.
[09:04] <candyban__> I read the manual ... but I don't get the output I think I should get
[09:04] <disinterested> ok i'll try it
[09:04] <Creed> Anyone know how to run a program that runs in the foreground by default in the background (to put into a startup script)?
[09:04] <sandy> i am using ubuntu 7.10 can anyone tell me how to install compiz fusion
[09:04] <vancomycin> ok sweet @ creed - thank you . what does that command string do? i'm not following the (hd0,1) but i can view prior where these .lst files are?
[09:04] <candyban__> and cron is not working either
[09:04] <Poet_with_a_Gun> I set the two screens to clone
[09:04] <nickrud> Creed:  end the line with &
[09:05] <Poet_with_a_Gun> and every time I restart x it turns the tv off in the nvidia  settings program
[09:05] <vancomycin> i only have a c: drive which is my hdd, and a d: drive for my dvd/cd player
[09:05] <nickrud> Creed: or use nohup
[09:05] <disinterested> nickrud: it says no such file or directory
[09:05] <gusto5> I cant get oidentd to work, can anyone guide me?
[09:05] <vancomycin> i will check the rest out through the faq's and forums -
[09:05] <default_> 3.9-0ubuntu4
[09:05] <default_> is the bluez version
[09:05] <fooforyou> Creed, you could run that second bit with the output aimed at > /dev/null 2>&1
[09:05] <nickrud> disinterested: see, good reason to cd first. Put the df -h on a pastebin
[09:05] <vancomycin> just needed a quick heads up on these things.
[09:05] <default_> but how can i tell on the individual packages
[09:05] <Creed> vancomycin, the "find" command will tell you where the menu.lst file is in the (hdx,x) format, (hd0,1) is used as an example. Replace (hd0,1) with what fine outputs. hd0 should remain the same unless you have more than 1 hardrive hooked up.
[09:06] <Poet_with_a_Gun> Creed, I tried using nvtv but it says it doesn't support my card (xfx geforce 8400gs)
[09:06] <default_> like hciconfig or hcitool
[09:06] <candyban__> when I do run-part --list /etc/cron.hourly .... it returns nothing, while ls /etc/cron.hourly gives me a (executable) script
[09:06] <fooforyou> the the output goes somewhere... nowhere
[09:06] <default_> on those versions
[09:06] <Creed> Hmm thanks nickrud and fooforyou, Ill see which works better.
[09:06] <vip3rousmango> I'm using the internet thru a hotspot and I'm having a lot of issues trying to navigate the web/sign in to msn/icq/aim.. yet i can torrent with deluge at 100kb/s. Is there something I can do that will refresh the internet connection??
[09:06] <disinterested> never mind i'm in it now
[09:06] <disinterested> now i do rm -rf?
[09:07] <nickrud> Creed: on second thought, not & nohup is the preferred way http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup
[09:07] <vancomycin> ok creed interesting and good points to know... i think i'll be looking in the newbie forums for more of my ??'s before installing -
[09:08] <arooni__> how can i get h264 .mp4 files t owork?
[09:08] <arooni__> all my media player crashes
[09:08] <nickrud> disinterested: ls   , make _sure_ you're in the right place, then rm -rf *
[09:08] <disinterested> nickrud: now im in the directory for that hdb1 now do i rm -rf?
[09:08] <Creed> vancomycin, lol dont do it unless you understand it :) Worst thing you can do is install grub and replace the Windows one (causing Windows to not boot till you boot from the CD and run fixboot).
[09:09] <vip3rousmango> Is there an app which will let me see what ports im connecting thru to the net?
[09:09] <cjracker> netstat
[09:09] <vip3rousmango> thanks
[09:09] <codeane> hi, i've installed postfix on ubuntu server, how do i send myself an email from the local machine?
[09:09] <vip3rousmango> cjracker: where can i find it? apt-get?
[09:09] <cjracker> yeah, apt-get install netstat
[09:09] <cjracker> it might come by default, i think it should
[09:09] <Creed> nickrud, in the portion of my init.d script, how would I stop the python script that I start (that runs in the foreground)?
[09:09] <vip3rousmango> hmm.. ok
[09:10] <nickrud> Creed: where's the script?
[09:10] <candyban__> codeane: you might telnet to port 25 and give the SMTP commands directly (it's really easy)
[09:10] <default_> is it possible to add rpm support to ubuntu?
[09:10] <vip3rousmango> cjracker: saying it can't find the package =\
[09:10] <Creed> nickrud, /home/ron/pyaim-t/PyAIMt.py
[09:10] <cjracker> did you try just running netstat
[09:10] <Creed> default_, try alien
[09:10] <vip3rousmango> default_: you can use Alien to compile .rpm into .deb
[09:10] <codeane> candyban__, ok thx
[09:10] <Creed> default_, lets you convert .rpm packages to .deb's to use with dpkg
[09:11] <disinterested> nickrud:ls shows me whats in there according to the file listing in the drive listing in my home folder, so im there right?
[09:11] <nickrud> Creed: I can't see that ;)
[09:11] <nickrud> disinterested: as long as you are sure
[09:11] <Poet_with_a_Gun> THanks for the help anyway
[09:11] <disinterested> so now rm -rf?
[09:12] <Poet_with_a_Gun> Hopefully this crap get's settled when Gutsy comes out, or something,
[09:12] <Creed> nickrud, lol check here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37491/
[09:12] <Kiran_mac> how do i install latest version of pgadmin in ubuntu 7.04? anyone tried that?
[09:12] <default_> ah i see
[09:12] <Poet_with_a_Gun> Without tv out support this might be a wasted experiment for me :(
[09:12] <candyban__> codeane: I prefer telnet, but you could also use mailx or sth
[09:12] <Creed> Poet_with_a_Gun, have you checked ubuntuforums.org to see if others with your card have gotten tvout working?
[09:12] <cjracker> Creed, you would want a start and stop argument to it
[09:13] <vip3rousmango> I keep getting a "network failure" msg from Kopete when trying to connect to msn, yet internet is working.. anyone have an idea?
[09:13] <Poet_with_a_Gun> Everyone else is sort of strugging with it too.
[09:13] <default_> so the following command displays the current package version installed? apt-cache policy "package"
[09:13] <nickrud> Creed: it really depends on what you're doing with that script:  the simplest is killall pyAIMt.py
[09:13] <candyban__> vip3rousmango: Can you set that it should use http in a setting? Use that.
[09:13] <Poet_with_a_Gun> I got a post on there that's waiting on some replies and everything else I See is done via the nvida settings proggie.
[09:14] <Creed> cjracker / nickrud , http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37492/ is my script atm, what would go inthe stop portion?
[09:14] <vip3rousmango> candyban__: wait, what??
[09:14] <default_> would this be right nickrud?
[09:14] <nickrud> Creed: you'd add some wrapper inside the script, to act on start or stop commands
[09:14] <candyban__> vip3rousmango: might be firewall issue ... MSN can use HTTP instead of the high ports
[09:14] <Poet_with_a_Gun> /exit
[09:14] <Poet_with_a_Gun> dammit :D
[09:15] <Creed> nickrud, way over my head sadly :( Took me 2 weeks just to get pyaimt working heh
[09:15] <Poet_with_a_Gun> (I'll just click the x...)
[09:15] <vip3rousmango> candyban__: ahh found it, there was a "use Http method" option, lets hope it works !!
[09:15] <cjracker> looks fine to me Creed
[09:15] <nickrud> default_: yes, it shows what could be installed (candidate) is installed (installed) and where they come from
[09:15] <wolferine> what does a poet need a gun for ?
[09:15] <|brad|> one of those emo types i guess
[09:15] <vip3rousmango> candyban__: nope, same error.. Network Failure occured
[09:15] <nickrud> critics
[09:16] <cjracker> although i dont think you need the single quotes around the 'start' and 'stop
[09:16] <cjracker> '
[09:16] <codeane> candyban__, thx i used telnet and it worked fine
[09:16] <Creed> cjracker, only openfire stops with my script, I havnt added the portion to stop pyaimt, any idea how I would do that as pyaimt.py simply runs as python
[09:16] <allorder> I got an error when I want to execute regnum game; ./game: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, I have installed every library with synaptic that match /usr/lib/libncurse* what should I do ?
[09:16] <cjracker> i have ways ;)
[09:17] <nickrud> sheesh, Creed you already had it (that' what I wanted to see, by the way :)
[09:17] <candyban__> vip3rousmango: are you behind a proxy or so?
[09:17] <Creed> nickrud, I had it?! When...Where?! :(
[09:17] <vip3rousmango> candyban__: I don't know. I'd assume so since im using a hotspot access point for my wireless connection atm because I'm at work.
[09:17] <disinterested> nickrud: it ran through a mile long worth of listings saying it cannot remove them
[09:17] <nickrud> Creed: the start stop
[09:17] <cereal> hey
[09:18] <cjracker> this can go in there creed:
[09:18] <cjracker> kill -9 `ps aux|grep -i pyaimt| awk {'print $2'}`
[09:18] <simplechat> hey, is there any simple way to "clone" one server onto another?
[09:18] <nickrud> disinterested: then you need to do sudo rm -rf
[09:18] <simplechat> or rather a user account?
[09:18] <Creed> cjracker, that would work but pyaimt is a python script, it runs under the name python.
[09:18] <nickrud> disinterested: what kind of disk is this, ext3?
[09:18] <disinterested> ok i'll try it
[09:18] <cereal> i'm recompiling the kernel on an amd opteron 170, and every time it locks up near some selinux files, has anyone had issues like this before or heard of the or know what might be wrong here?
[09:19] <cereal> this is using server 7.04 64 niy
[09:19] <cereal> bit
[09:19] <candyban__> vip3rousmango: you have a corporate policy not to use msn? ... ps. There are many web-clients out there (just look for them) ... I remember it was a pain to block this kind of traffic
[09:19] <nickrud> save the pid?
[09:19] <Creed> Hmm, actually I dont use any other python scripts so I could just kill python
[09:19] <vip3rousmango> candyban__: no no, no policy.. i'm on a hotspot (from starbucks).. they should let u access msn from anywhere... which is why it's weird normally it works..
[09:20] <Creed> lol Im just starting/learning :)
[09:20] <|brad|> 20 years ago? i was 5
[09:20] <disinterested> nickrud: ok theyre removing
[09:20] <candyban__> check if you are able to resolve the password server from microsoft
[09:20] <vip3rousmango> candyban__: like i said before, the internet is so slow.. even firefox bairly loads pages.. but i can download torrents at full speed..
[09:20] <faileas> vip3rousmango: try using the http mode
[09:20] <vip3rousmango> faileas: tried it already.
[09:20] <nickrud> killing python would not be wise, what about 3 months from now, when you're running moinmoin to prototype your wiki contributions?
[09:21] <cjracker> well, when you use a python script like that, it will still give the full path with ps aux, so youd get it and not other python scripts
[09:21] <Creed> heh hopefully by then my knowledge of bash scripts would have grown to the extent that I would have written a nicer bootscript :)
[09:22] <swarm> vip3rousmango, i just gotta ask... you do know that if you have a bandwidth cap of say.. 150k/sec, and you are dling torrents at 149k/sec, it only leaves 1k/sec for the rest of your apps?
[09:22] <cjracker> you actually dont need to say python <command name>, the shebang will tell it to use python
[09:22] <vip3rousmango> swarm: .. that could make sence.. one sec, i do have torrents going..
[09:23] <cjracker> so you could just run /home/ron/pyaim-t/PyAIMt.py &
[09:23] <Creed> Oh, didnt know that :) Thanks for hte tip cjracker
[09:23] <cjracker> any time :)
[09:23] <ryta> ce_caem
[09:23] <bullgard4> What is meant by 'volume SSN' in ACPI 3.0a specification's Figure 15-5 'OS Initialization'?
[09:24] <cjracker> social security number?
[09:24] <swarm> well, vip3rousmango, kill the torrents and let me know if it speeds up :)
[09:24] <Creed> One final question, if the file (jabber--contains the boot script code for openfire and pyaimt) is in /etc/init.d/, it will execute on every boot correct?
[09:24] <vip3rousmango> swarm: yup. that did it. Ok so they capped me.. wow, and I pay for unlimited access... stupid bell
[09:24] <scguy318> bullgard4: doing hw? just wondering
[09:24] <swarm> :)
[09:24] <swarm> unlimited access, sure.
[09:24] <swarm> unlimited bandwidth - impossible
[09:24] <vip3rousmango> tell me about it
[09:25] <bart_> good morning all :)
[09:25] <vip3rousmango> swarm: i know, but it should be high enough to meet my needs at least..
[09:25] <Creed> morning bart_ :)
[09:25] <swarm> probably around 150k/sec?
[09:25] <bart_> Creed, thx :P
[09:25] <deeptz> hi
[09:25] <Creed> vip3rousmango, may I ask why you're even torrenting at work? :P
[09:25] <cjracker> youll have to run update-rc.d <scriptname> defaults
[09:25] <vip3rousmango> Creed: because i'm that bored =b
[09:25] <Creed> lol
[09:25] <cjracker> or change when you want it to start and stop
[09:26] <nickrud> Creed: put it there, then run sudo update-rc.d <script> defaults to create links in /etc/rc*.d for start & stop automatically
[09:26] <cjracker> yep, what nickrud said
[09:26] <Creed> Ah, I always thought the files in /etc/rc* were manually made heh Good to know how to do it automatically cjracker nickrud :)
[09:26] <cjracker> yeah its kinda automagic
[09:26] <Creed> gotta love *magic* :)
[09:27] <swarm> i used torrent at work to download a movie trailer..
[09:27] <vip3rousmango> which?
[09:27] <swarm> and i got 75MBPS
[09:27] <Creed> swarm, sure, a movie "trailer" :P
[09:27] <swarm> i was pretty impressed
[09:27] <disinterested> nickrud:everything wasnt removed is there any way to completely clear all?
[09:27] <swarm> ;)
[09:28] <|brad|> the internet is so locked down at work its almost hard to use
[09:28] <vip3rousmango> damn. well at home i have a sweet connectioin
[09:28] <Creed> |brad|, even SSH tunneling?
[09:28] <nickrud> disinterested: what's left, dotfiles?
[09:28] <vip3rousmango> but school is where it's at :)
[09:28] <swarm> well, |brad| , i'm the IT guy
[09:28] <|brad|> Creed, yes, not a chance of that
[09:28] <nickrud> disinterested: hidden files, I mean?
[09:29] <Creed> |brad|, ouch :S That is pretty strict...most places leave SSH access alone (on any open port)
[09:29] <michan> hi
[09:29] <cjracker> tor.eff.net
[09:29] <Kiran_mac> I added  deb ftp://ftp2.fr.postgresql.org/postgresql/pgadmin3/release/ubuntu feisty pgadmin to source.list and then updated apt-get. but it gives arror saying Failed to fetch ftp://ftp2.fr.postgresql.org/postgresql/pgadmin3/release/ubuntu/dists/feisty/Release.gpg  Could not resolve 'ftp2.fr.postgresql.org'
[09:29] <disinterested> usr cdrom vmlinuz and vmlinuz.old

[09:30] <Kiran_mac> !pgadmin
[09:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pgadmin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:30] <swarm> brad, try http://mlvb.net/www.blah.com next time
[09:31] <|brad|> swarm, there is no way im gonna use a proxy... our network security department will have my ass
[09:31] <swarm> thats not a proxy :)
[09:31] <swarm> it makes the webpages phone friendly
[09:31] <swarm> just happens to proxy them also ;)
[09:31] <vip3rousmango> sneaky sneaky =b
[09:31] <disinterested> nickrud: i'm not sure how to read this output
[09:32] <bart_> hello all
[09:32] <vip3rousmango> hello bart_
[09:32] <orb> Hey I just installed linux on this machine as a dual boot with XP, but every time I try to boot up, after seeing that "Kernel Active" text for a second, I just get a black screen.  Does anyone know what's going wrong?
[09:32] <nickrud> cdrom -> <another file name> for example?
[09:32] <bart_> How can I delete my tooltips?
[09:33] <vip3rousmango> orb: your ubuntu install just went over windows.
[09:33] <bart_> because now I use the little preview window with compiz-fusion: so my tooltips are uselesss
[09:33] <orb> vip3rousmango: no I'm on windows right now, I mean when I try to boot ubuntu it doesn't work
[09:33] <disinterested> nickrud well they all say root root in front of them
[09:33] <vip3rousmango> orb: ohhh
[09:33] <chuy_max> !nvidia
[09:33] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:33] <bart_> !tooltip
[09:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tooltip - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:33] <vip3rousmango> orb: thats beyond me, hope someone else in the chan can help :)
[09:33] <orb> :(
[09:34] <nickrud> disinterested: that's ok, that means they're owned by root.   rm -rf <each one>
[09:34] <swarm> which ver, org?
[09:34] <disinterested> ok
[09:34] <bart_> how to hide the "tooltips"?
[09:34] <orb> me?
[09:34] <kjro> cjracker: i try-ed to im you... are you there ?
[09:34] <swarm> yeah
[09:34] <orb> you mean which version of ubuntu?
[09:34] <swarm> ... yeah
[09:34] <cjracker> im here, kjro, my laptop had kinda died....
[09:34] <orb> whichever is newest... I just downloaded the iso like an hour ago
[09:34] <robert__> i just installed virtualbox 1.50 but have no idea how to open it or use it, i'm used to MS virtual pc
[09:34] <swarm> 7.04? 6.06?
[09:34] <orb> 7.04
[09:35] <swarm> did the livecd work?
[09:35] <orb> no
[09:35] <vip3rousmango> well that should tell you something right there =b
[09:35] <swarm> so how did ypu install?
[09:35] <disinterested> nickrud:well it says no such file or directory for the cd rom one
[09:35] <orb> well when it didn't work, scguy318 told me to dl the text based alternate cd
[09:36] <swarm> ok, good
[09:36] <orb> so I did that and installed with that
[09:36] <swarm> system specs?
[09:36] <orb> does it have something to do with me running dual screens?
[09:36] <swarm> nvidia card?
[09:36] <orb> intel quad core extreme core 2 processsor
[09:36] <orb> yeah 8800 GTX
[09:36] <vip3rousmango> holy crap
[09:36] <|brad|> haha
[09:36] <bart_>  I got a question: How can I hide my tooltips?
[09:36] <|brad|> damn
[09:36] <nickrud> disinterested: that's strange indeed. disinterested lets just cut to the chase.  You alreadly know what the partition is, you tried to erase it once :)
[09:36] <swarm> nice. same system i use
[09:36] <user_999>  want talking a japanese lady
[09:36] <scguy318> orb: so, have you installed yet?
[09:36] <swarm> mobo?
[09:36] <orb> dual 19 in LCD
[09:36] <bart_> you know: the little yellow box
[09:36] <orb> yeah i installed scguy, i get the same problem when trying to boot the install
[09:36] <vip3rousmango> orb: that is a beast of a machine
[09:37] <bart_> Is there a way to disable them?
[09:37] <orb> mobo is nforce 680i
[09:37] <disinterested> yep
[09:37] <orb> vip3rousmango thx :)
[09:37] <swarm> lol
[09:37] <scguy318> orb: what video card are you?
[09:37] <swarm> were ywins
[09:37] <orb> 8800 gtx
[09:37] <nickrud> disinterested: so, cd / && sudo umount /dev/<whatitwas> && sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/<whateveritwas>
[09:37] <swarm> do you have another vidcard for now?
[09:37] <orb> uh no that's my only one
[09:37] <scguy318> orb: you could try Envy, at own risk, since nice and fresh, so what?
[09:37] <jazk> #medan
[09:37] <robert__> can anyone give me good instructions to start using virtualbox?
[09:37] <disinterested> ok i'll try
[09:37] <orb> what's envy
[09:38] <swarm> scguy318, ssh... he can't even get into xwindows...
[09:38] <nickrud> disinterested: then sudo mount /dev/<whateveritwas>
[09:38] <swarm> orb, ignore what he said
[09:38] <scguy318> swarm: Recovery Mode?
[09:38] <nickrud> !envy
[09:38] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[09:38] <orb> i tried recovery mode, worked
[09:38] <scguy318> !nvidia | orb
[09:38] <ubotu> orb: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:38] <swarm> so how far does it get without recovery mode?
[09:38] <orb> i can't install nvidia drivers because i can't get into linux rofl
[09:38] <orb> well
[09:38] <orb> it shows that "kernel active" text at the bottom
[09:38] <orb> then goes blank
[09:38] <swarm> k
[09:38] <orb> HDD makes some noise, that's it
[09:39] <orb> does ubuntu support dual monitors?
[09:39] <swarm> go to recovery mode, type "startx"
[09:39] <nickrud> disinterested: I have to go, but there's several people here who can walk you through that.
[09:39] <swarm> yes, but not inherently
[09:39] <|brad|> orb, you can get into recovery mode tho
[09:39] <default_> now can i tell which kernel version i am running?
[09:39] <cjracker> sorry about that... i need a new laptop
[09:39] <|brad|> default_, uname
[09:39] <scguy318> default_: uname
[09:39] <orb> yeah i can get into recovery, on the next boot i'll try typing startx like swarm says
[09:39] <swarm> orb, go to recovery mode
[09:39] <|brad|> uname -a
[09:39] <swarm> then type "startx"
[09:39] <orb> k should i try that now
[09:39] <scguy318> orb: sure
[09:39] <swarm> then find a terminal and type "sudo aptitude install xchat-gnome"
[09:40] <kjro> cjracker: not good for you... :|
[09:40] <orb> okay i'll be back if it works or doesn't ;)
[09:40] <orb> brb
[09:40] <cjracker> nah not good at all
[09:40] <swarm> then "xchat-gnome"
[09:40] <orb> oh
[09:40] <swarm> and come see us :)
[09:40] <orb> k
[09:40] <cjracker> anyway... we will see how long this lasts
[09:40] <vip3rousmango> eww xchat... not a fan :(
[09:40] <swarm> its easy :P
[09:40] <jaie> i have a pptp question, can someone whisper me if they think they can help
[09:40] <vip3rousmango> jaie: say ur question and if we can help, we will! :)
[09:41] <jaie> pptp works fine for me when i log on as the primary Ubuntu user, but when im any other user i get an authentication error... does anybody have the same issue?
[09:41] <disinterested> nickrud: after all of that it says /dev/hdb1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!
[09:43] <scguy318> jaie: prob have to add the users to some group
[09:43] <kjro> cjracker: can i msg you in priv ?
[09:43] <cjracker> sure, go for it
[09:44] <EvilBro> I'm trying to set up the clock so it uses a server to synchronize itself. richt clicked, selected a server, and nothing... Re-right clicked and noticed the 'synchronize now' button stays grayed out... what gives?
[09:45] <kjro> cjracker: did you get my  past ?
[09:45] <cjracker> didnt
[09:45] <cjracker> hmm
[09:45] <kjro> thought so...
[09:45] <cjracker> you get mine?
[09:46] <scguy318> EvilBro: you have to get ntpd or something
[09:46] <scguy318> EvilBro: some option you change in the Time dialog to get it to install I think
[09:46] <jaie> thanks scguy318 i'll give it a go
[09:46] <kjro> no
[09:46] <kjro> didint
[09:46] <kjro> i use gaim
[09:47] <kjro> 2.0.0.beta 3.1
[09:47] <EvilBro> scguy318: you mean the thing it installed when I selected 'synchronize with servers' or a different package in synaptic?
[09:47] <cjracker> hmm thats it
[09:47] <cjracker> i never did use gaim for irc, never had problems with it though
[09:47] <andruk> are there any handwriting recognition programs (for words, numbers, and mathematical expressions for a tablet) for linux?
[09:47] <kjro> have nothing else installed
[09:47] <kjro> any recom ?
[09:48] <scguy318> EvilBro: yeah, think thats it
[09:48] <cjracker> my phone does handwriting recognition and it runs linux
[09:48] <WaltzingAlong> is there a way to disable the tooltips (usually appearing in yellow) in gnome?
[09:48] <Creed> Is there a package for pyOpenSSL somewhere? I dont really feel like compiling...
[09:48] <WaltzingAlong> if so, may someone knowing please relay it to me? thanks
[09:49] <orb> okay guys here's what happened: after typing startx I got an interface... then I tried enabling the nvidia driver and restarting, and upon trying it again it failed to initialize
[09:49] <EvilBro> scguy318: I've just checked synaptic. I have nptdate package.
[09:49] <kjro> cjracker: look at these http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37497/
[09:49] <swarm> thats because you didn't do what i said ;)
[09:49] <cjracker> http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pyopenssl/  theres a few
[09:49] <orb> :(
[09:50] <orb> so what do I do no
[09:50] <orb> now*
[09:50] <mzuverink> what version of debian does ubuntu use to base its distros, specifically the version for gusty, testing or unstable?
[09:50] <cjracker> http://trac.dave.cridland.net/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/downloads few more
[09:50] <WaltzingAlong> cjracker: thanks, always so much easier (this time) when someone else does the work for me
[09:50] <swarm> i told you to get xchat and come see us, so i could know u got into xwindows, and so i could help you set up the ultra-difficuly 8800
[09:50] <cjracker> tell me about it...
[09:50] <`EJ> \\'elcome ack jesus__
[09:50] <orb> :\ sry :(
[09:50] <orb> so how do I get back in now
[09:51] <swarm> now every time u try to startx it breaks, right?
[09:51] <orb> yep
[09:51] <swarm> ok, so if i tell you how to fix it
[09:51] <swarm> you gonna not get ahead of the game? ;P
[09:51] <Jesus> Hey, another jesus!
[09:51] <orb> i'll do it this time, I swear ;)
[09:51] <|brad|> Jesus, does your irc client beep on nick highlight?
[09:52] <EvilBro> scguy318: Setting it to manual ungrayes the synchronize this button. It even synchronizes when you press it. :)
[09:52] <Jesus> |brad|, nope.
[09:52] <swarm> orb: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:52] <cjracker> one thing, kjro, you might want to place the last two snat rules above the first one...
[09:52] <swarm> select "vesa" if it asks, NEVER nv or nvidia. OK? :)
[09:52] <EvilBro> scguy318: still doesn't explain why the clock didn't synchronize when it should.
[09:52] <|brad|> only time ive ever heard you say anything was when someone was talking to Jesus_ :)
[09:52] <orb> k
[09:53] <swarm> now
[09:53] <swarm> what are u gonna type to get to IRC?
[09:53] <orb> xchat-gnome :)
[09:53] <swarm> yup
[09:53] <Jesus> |brad|, yeah, I was talking more in this channel when I used ubuntu :-)
[09:53] <swarm> have fun, see you in a few
[09:53] <orb> k brb
[09:53] <swarm> tsk tsk
[09:53] <|brad|> Jesus, what are you using now?
[09:53] <swarm> little guy was getting ahead of himself
[09:53] <swarm> ;)
[09:53] <|brad|> gentoo?
[09:53] <Jesus> |brad|, gentoo
[09:53] <kjro> hmmm
[09:54] <|brad|> Jesus, did you use ubuntu to get your feet wet?
[09:54] <swarm> who wanted to know about tooltip disabling?
[09:54] <cjracker> may be missing something, but that looks right otherwise to me
[09:54] <Jesus> |brad|, I used it to learn linux in general. Then when it held me back from doing what I want with my system, I had to change.
[09:55] <|brad|> swarm, WaltzingAlong
[09:55] <swarm> WaltzingAlong, you using gnome?
[09:55] <|brad|> Jesus, i switched to ubuntu to get my feet dry... heh
[09:55] <Jesus> :-)
[09:55] <|brad|> Jesus, i grew up on slackware
[09:55] <WaltzingAlong> swarm: no but i was asking for gnome; may be taken care of now thanks
[09:56] <swarm> well there is an option in gconf-editor
[09:56] <swarm> apps / panel / global
[09:57] <swarm> :)
[09:57] <WaltzingAlong> :D thanks swarm
[09:57] <swarm> np - lemme know if it works ;)
[09:57] <kjro> cjracker: can you explina me how i can check if communication is forwarded or not ?
[09:57] <kjro> and if it's forwarded where it should be
[09:58] <cjracker> you can try routing packets through and use iptables -L -v to see which ones are increasing -- routing the traffic
[09:58] <cjracker> so like, send some test traffic, and see if it increases the counts that will be on the left there
[09:59] <kjro> but how to send test trafic ?
[09:59] <Creed> Just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to cjracker and nickrud :) Got everything working perfectly!
[10:00] <Jesus> |brad|, oh, I have heard that that's a dist with chest hair.
[10:00] <cjracker> hmm telnet from the box on the outside to those ports
[10:00] <|brad|> Jesus, haha
[10:00] <|brad|> Jesus, i used it for 6 years
[10:00] <fatcatmatt> WOOT! another successful clean install of ubuntu!
[10:01] <Jesus> |brad|, wow... I have used linux for 3 :-/
[10:01] <|brad|> fatcatmatt, did you have to reinstall?
[10:01] <cjracker> like telnet 192.168.0.2 40024 from a host upstream of this router, or using the router itself
[10:01] <fatcatmatt> |brad|: yes, i installed, but check this out, during the live session, i installed flash on it and the youtube videos ran fine
[10:01] <|brad|> Jesus, ive always wanted to install gentoo. the emerge system seems pretty cool
[10:01] <orb> hai :)
[10:01] <cjracker> see if it  increases the count for that second rule
[10:02] <|brad|> fatcatmatt, youtube vids always jack me up too
[10:02] <fatcatmatt> im just gonna stick away from them, but the sad thing is, google uses them :( |brad|
[10:02] <Jesus> |brad|, I like it a lot! And when you just brought a 2 GHz Core2 Duo, the compilations don't take too long :-)
[10:02] <orb> swarm, you there?
[10:02] <swarm> yup
[10:02] <orb> so I'm in x now
[10:02] <swarm> looks like it worked
[10:02] <orb> yeah
[10:02] <|brad|> Jesus, using 64bit?
[10:02] <swarm> k, good.
[10:03] <swarm> now...
[10:03] <orb> now the aids starts
[10:03] <swarm> hehe
[10:03] <swarm> tell me your linux experience level please
[10:03] <Jesus> |brad|, no... I had some bad experience with 64-bits earlier, so I changed back. Will try it again at some later time.
[10:03] <orb> 0
[10:03] <orb> lol
[10:03] <onats> is there anyway to upgrade to gutsy gibbon when im booted using feisty?
[10:03] <swarm> so i know whether to explain everything
[10:03] <swarm> ok, cool :)
[10:03] <orb> explain everything
[10:03] <|brad|> Jesus, yea, haha same thing here
[10:04] <swarm> btw, are you a member of overclock.net? usually people with a rig like yours are
[10:04] <Creed> onats, add the gutsy repos and do apt-get dist-upgrade I believe
[10:04] <orb> nope, though I do overclock when I've got cold enough environments
[10:04] <swarm> cool :)
[10:04] <onats> Creed, ok thanks, will look up the repos!
[10:04] <orb> ;)
[10:04] <swarm> alrighty. lets get those graphics going
[10:04] <fatcatmatt> |brad|: now i am just getting everything set back up
[10:04] <orb> can't wait :D
[10:04] <swarm> http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envy_0.9.7-0ubuntu8_all.deb
[10:05] <swarm> download that.
[10:05] <orb> k
[10:05] <Creed> onats, you can even mount the gutsy CD ISO (or stick the cd into your drive) and just dist-upgrade, no need to add repos :)
[10:05] <orb> now run it or soemthing?
[10:05] <swarm> go to a terminal
[10:05] <|brad|> one of these days im gonna set it up so that /home is a nfs mount
[10:05] <swarm> how fast is your internet connection?
[10:05] <orb> college internet fast
[10:05] <onats> i still don't have a copy of the CD ISO.. so i guess the shorter way would be to upgrade via repos...
[10:05] <orb> aka uber fast
[10:05] <swarm> excellent
[10:06] <swarm> type into terminal: sudo aptitude update
[10:06] <ompaul> !manuals | orb
[10:06] <ubotu> orb: manuals is for an introduction and a bit more on how to get the best out of your ubuntu install please check out https://help.ubuntu.com/
[10:06] <swarm> aptitude is a package manager, it will assist you in installing stuff and keeping your system up to date
[10:06] <swarm> sudo means to run it as root.
[10:06] <swarm> and update just means "check all my software, update it if needed"
[10:07] <ricardo> hi all
[10:07] <orb> oops
[10:07] <ricardo> hi all
[10:07] <swarm> ;)
[10:07] <orb> i closed the wrong terminal
[10:07] <swarm> lol
[10:07] <sukuro> Good Morning
[10:07] <orb> so what was that command again
[10:07] <sukuro> hi all
[10:07] <|brad|> sukuro, whats up
[10:07] <swarm> sudo aptitude update
[10:07] <orb> ah k done :)
[10:07] <sukuro> just chillin
[10:07] <Creed> How can I see whats running on port 8080?
[10:08] <swarm> it went through a huge list of stuff?
[10:08] <orb> yeah
[10:08] <jacobat> Creed: netstat is your friend IIRC
[10:08] <swarm> good :)
[10:08] <swarm> ok, that file you downloaded.
[10:08] <swarm> run it
[10:08] <ricardo> what is the shortcuts for the desktop effect?
[10:08] <swarm> double click it
[10:08] <Creed> jacobat, heh never did figure out how to use netstat :(
[10:08] <orb> k
[10:08] <jacobat> Creed: man netstat :)
[10:08] <orb> click "install package" ?
[10:08] <|brad|> Creed, netstat -tap | grep 8080 then find the PID then ps -ef | grep <PID>
[10:08] <swarm> yup
[10:08] <ricardo> what is the shortcuts for the desktop effect?
[10:08] <ricardo> efeects?
[10:08] <Creed> |brad|, thanks! :) Both you you :)
[10:08] <ricardo> effects
[10:09] <cjracker> did we get it kjro
[10:09] <swarm> also, orb, lots of people are going to give you advice to download "automatix" to install some simple things. don't do it!
[10:09] <orb> orly?
[10:09] <swarm> although it was an ok thought, the software is poorly implemented.
[10:09] <swarm> people will argue with me about this all day. you've been warned. :)
[10:09] <orb> okay
[10:09] <ChocoCid> so i'm on feisty, how do i get the cube to work in compiz?
[10:09] <swarm> it installed?
[10:09] <orb> it's asking me to insert my installation cd
[10:10] <orb> hold on
[10:10] <swarm> eck.
[10:10] <orb> k it's working now
[10:10] <astro76> swarm, haha no arguments in here, automatix is a nightmare ;)
[10:10] <swarm> :)
[10:10] <fatcatmatt> what a night...well...1:10am here now
[10:10] <ompaul> !automatix
[10:10] <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)
[10:10] <swarm> thanks for the backup astro76 ;)
[10:10] <orb> 4:10 here
[10:10] <orb> am
[10:10] <Creed> Another thing, update-rc.d <scriptname> defaults is used to update bootscripts, how would I remove them?
[10:10] <orb> k i installed envy
[10:10] <ompaul> !envy
[10:10] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[10:10] <fatcatmatt> dang orb...east coast?
[10:11] <orb> yep
[10:11] <swarm> orb, top left -- applications > system tools > envy
[10:11] <orb> colorful layout :)
[10:11] <onats> Creed, do you know the repo?
[10:11] <ricardo> what is the shortcuts for the desktop effect?
[10:11] <fatcatmatt> chococid: put beryl on there
[10:11] <ompaul> orb, the easy way to do your drivers is System Administration Restricted Drivers --
[10:11] <ChocoCid> so i'm on feisty, how do i get the cube to work in compiz? I've got 4 desktops but i can't flip them with control-alt-mouseclick
[10:11] <swarm> obviously "install the nvidia driver"
[10:11] <CyberCod> happy Software Freedom Day everyone!
[10:11] <ChocoCid> fatcatmatt: i'm using the default "desktop effects" thing
[10:11] <ChocoCid> !desktopeffects
[10:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about desktopeffects - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:11] <orb> k
[10:12] <ompaul> !envy | swarm
[10:12] <ubotu> swarm: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[10:12] <orb> i clicked apply, shitloads of stuff is going through the terminal
[10:12] <Creed> onats, sorry, I do not :( I just use the ISO (14MBps connection).
[10:12] <fatcatmatt> chocokid: beryl and it's pushing your scroll wheel on the mouse down or scrolling it to change
[10:12] <swarm> orb, ignore that what ompaul said. the 8800gtx is a bit harder to install, and i bet he didn't know that the restricted driver doesnt work :)
[10:12] <steelwolf> Hi after installing ubuntu, im unable to get a graphical mode,what should i do?
[10:12] <fatcatmatt> chocokid: doesn't work with default desktop effects
[10:12] <ChocoCid> fatcatmatt: uh, there's a cube plugin in compiz
[10:12] <orb> k, btw someone just mentioned beryl... I assume that will work with the 8800?
[10:12] <orb> i was planning on installing it once i got ubuntu up
[10:12] <swarm> yes, but beryl is outdated
[10:12] <orb> hrm
[10:12] <swarm> i'll show you compiz fusion
[10:12] <swarm> same thing
[10:12] <swarm> ;)
[10:12] <fatcatmatt> chococid: the check box thing for the "enable desktop effects" window?
[10:12] <orb> kay
[10:13] <ChocoCid> yes
[10:13] <ChocoCid> and i've hit enable cube as well
[10:13] <swarm> hold ctrl+alt+arrow keys, ChocoCid
[10:13] <fatcatmatt> chococid: that's only when you scroll your mouse, it looks like it's on a cube
[10:13] <ChocoCid> swarm: i'm trying that
[10:13] <steelwolf> Hi after installing ubuntu, im unable to get a graphical mode,what should i do?
[10:13] <swarm> orb, k, is it done?
[10:13] <ChocoCid> i remember i *used* to have it working on an old install of feisty, but i had to change something before it would work
[10:13] <orb> not quite
[10:13] <fatcatmatt> just put beryl on, chococid
[10:13] <swarm> k :)
[10:13] <orb> now it is
[10:13] <orb> it's asking
[10:13] <ChocoCid> i had to switch a 1 and 4 somewhere and i can't remember where the hell in gconf-editor those are
[10:14] <orb> if i want my xorg.conf to be automatically configured
[10:14] <swarm> yes, let it configure xorg.conf
[10:14] <swarm> ;)
[10:14] <orb> k
[10:14] <swarm> then reboot without the recovery console.
[10:14] <slimjimflim> i don't know if this is better #apache material, but i've been asking in both channels... i just set up a virtualhost, and even though i set it to a different document root than the original site, it mirrors the first one. can somebody help?
[10:14] <orb> asking if i should restart
[10:14] <orb> okay
[10:14] <orb> i'll brb hopefully :)
[10:14] <swarm> if it doesn't work
[10:14] <steelwolf> Hi after installing ubuntu, im unable to get a graphical mode,what should i do? it's stating some error in xserver conf
[10:14] <swarm> come back here IN the recovery console
[10:14] <orb> how do I do that
[10:14] <swarm> same way you've been doing it?
[10:14] <orb> oh you mean go to startx again
[10:14] <orb> okay
[10:15] <swarm> yup
[10:15] <orb> alright brb
[10:15] <fatcatmatt> im just sitting here installing virtualbox :)
[10:15] <steelwolf> Hi after installing ubuntu, im unable to get a graphical mode,what should i do? it's stating some error in xserver conf
[10:15] <swarm> steelwolf, nvidia card?
[10:15] <ChocoCid> ah, got it anyway
[10:15] <steelwolf> yes nvidia card
[10:15] <fatcatmatt> nvidia-glx
[10:15] <ChocoCid> apps-compiz-general-screen0-options, number_of_desktops needs to be 1, hsize needs to be 4
[10:15] <swarm> steelwolf, google it, it's been covered 10000000 times. :) try ubuntuforums.org
[10:16] <ChocoCid> they're backwards :p
[10:16] <steelwolf> what to search for?
[10:16] <fatcatmatt> im tellin ya, chococid, beryl makes life much easier
[10:16] <swarm> "nvidia ubuntu"
[10:16] <steelwolf> and what about wireless card drivers
[10:16] <ChocoCid> fatcatmatt: and i have compiz working
[10:16] <swarm> same thing...
[10:16] <ChocoCid> it just comes by default with 2 values backwards in feisty :p
[10:16] <swarm> go read ubuntuforums.org
[10:16] <ChocoCid> i just couldn't remember where they were
[10:16] <fatcatmatt> beryl's better :)  diff name, sounds better
[10:16] <swarm> you'll need to learn to search and find answers if you are going to want to be in the ubuntu world. hehe
[10:17] <ChocoCid> fatcatmatt: beryl got merged into compiz
[10:17] <Zweisteine> Hello! I'm trying to debootstrap an ubuntu feisty fawn system (i386) from my current feisty fawn system (amd64). I've set up everything according to the howto in the documentation and everything worked, even networking, until I rebooted into that system to see if it works (it did). Now I chrooted again and it doesn't resolve hostnames, although pinging an IP address works. I did write my nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf. What could be the problem?
[10:17] <fatcatmatt> compiz merged into beryl!  HWA!
[10:18] <steelwolf> swarm,i'm using a workstation graphic card, quadro fx 570m, is it supported as well?
[10:18] <swarm> i am unsure, steelwolf
[10:18] <orb> didn't work :(
[10:18] <warbler> steelwolf: at the prompt type type - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - choose defaults except at video card - choose vesa then.
[10:18] <swarm> orb, what specifically happened?
[10:18] <orb> same thing as always, just a black screen after that kernel active text
[10:18] <swarm> hmm
[10:19] <cjracker> what does your resolv.conf look like, Zweisteine ?
[10:19] <swarm> in the top right of your screen, does it tell you there are new software updates?
[10:19] <orb> atm? no
[10:19] <swarm> orange box with white asterisk in it?
[10:19] <swarm> hmmm
[10:19] <Zweisteine> # a comment\nsearch lan\nnameserver 212.93.136.2
[10:19] <swarm> oh
[10:19] <steelwolf> ok
[10:20] <swarm> did you install x64 version or x32? i bet x64
[10:20] <orb> x64
[10:20] <swarm> ;)
[10:20] <swarm> i am so smartz.
[10:20] <cjracker> so if you did a dig google.com you wouldnt get any answer?
[10:20] <orb> lol
[10:20] <swarm> go get the 32 bit one.
[10:20] <orb> NOEZ
[10:20] <Frogzoo> any pointers for fixing pppoe on edgy?
[10:20] <orb> aw I really wanted to run 64 bit...
[10:20] <steelwolf> but it seems that my card driver fx 570m isn't listed at > http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-a.html
[10:20] <swarm> trust me, 64 bit is so problematic it is not even funny
[10:20] <orb> is it impossible?
[10:20] <orb> :(
[10:20] <orb> but so much faster
[10:20] <swarm> not impossible, but even *i* won't get into it
[10:20] <orb> :(
[10:20] <swarm> even when you get into it
[10:20] <orb> lame so now I gotta like
[10:20] <orb> download it,
[10:21] <orb> run it,
[10:21] <orb> format the partition again,
[10:21] <swarm> it'll be hard to get some software running
[10:21] <orb> install it,
[10:21] <orb> do this stuff again
[10:21] <orb> :(
[10:21] <swarm> no need to format partition
[10:21] <swarm> it'll do that for you
[10:21] <swarm> :P
[10:21] <orb> i know but it takes a while
[10:21] <philip> hello
[10:21] <swarm> seriously, go to 32 bit, get comfy with ubuntu
[10:21] <cjracker> Zweisteine, seems icmp works, do tcp and udp?
[10:21] <swarm> then upgrade to 64
[10:21] <swarm> you'll have a better understanding of how things work
[10:21] <swarm> i don'
[10:21] <Zweisteine> cjracker, I don't think I have any tool to to nslookups in that environment. Let me check
[10:22] <orb> I don't need an understanding :P
[10:22] <philip> Does anyone know anything about sound cards and getting a hiss out oif them from a new install of ubunto
[10:22] <swarm> i don't run 64 bit because the kernel is unstable :\
[10:22] <lenzzzinoleonard> hii
[10:22] <orb> hrmph
[10:22] <swarm> i have same processor as you, i have two of the 8800gtx's...
[10:22] <cjracker> can you telnet? just make sure youre getting some kind of non-icmp traffic
[10:22] <swarm> and 8gb corsair dominator xms2 1066 ram
[10:22] <philip> I need some assistance someone
[10:22] <orb> you can't use 8GB with 32 bit...
[10:22] <Zweisteine> cjracker, I don't have telnet either
[10:22] <swarm> i have experience with your system basically
[10:22] <swarm> i know
[10:22] <|brad|> 8gb my lordie
[10:22] <warbler> !ask
[10:22] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:22] <cjracker> jeez what do you have?
[10:22] <swarm> i'm pointing out... i have a similar system as you
[10:23] <cjracker> wget?
[10:23] <orb> kay, I was just really looking forward to 3d animating in 64 bit uber speed ;)
[10:23] <lenzzzinoleonard> i want to configer my USB ADSL modem on ubuntu. i got the document on hhow to configer it but i dont understand it can some 1 plz help me?
[10:23] <philip> I am getting a hiss after install linux on an old 5 year old gateway machine running the sb llive software from oem
[10:23] <swarm> orb, get 32 bit
[10:23] <swarm> play around
[10:23] <swarm> learn the shell a bit
[10:23] <Zweisteine> cjracker, no, but I have apt-get and I could change the sources.list to point to an IP address instead of the hostname
[10:23] <orb> kay
[10:23] <swarm> then upgrade to 64bit kernel
[10:23] <swarm> and, ubuntuforums.org is your friend
[10:23] <cjracker> yeah, that would help

[10:25] <Zweisteine> cjracker, I still wish I knew what was wrong
[10:25] <swarm> but to get it working required a different kernel
[10:25] <cjracker> yeah, thats wacky
[10:25] <cjracker> mabye your resolvers dont like the new host?
[10:25] <swarm> and chances are you have no experience configuring linux programs/kernels

[10:31] <Sepero> lenzzzinoleonard: Can you PM me?
[10:32] <equilibrix> alok_: I have the right keyboard layout after log on (QWERTY), but still have QWERTZ on the login screen
[10:33] <Sepero> What happens when you mix Microsoft, Linux, kids and Mortal Kombat? : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5AX6bp53UU
[10:33] <seraph34> hey, I just followed directions on the forums for temporarily disabling the synaptics touchpad on my laptop but it doesn't seem to be doing much... is there any way to "permanently" disable it?
[10:33] <chuxxsss> lenzzzzino: open a web browser and talk to the modem
[10:34] <astro76> seraph34, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[10:34] <Sepero> chuxxsss: lenzzzinoleonard Doesn't appear to be replying to me.
[10:34] <chuxxsss> Ok thanks Sepero
[10:35] <lenzzzinoleonard> sepro: i replyed
[10:35] <chuxxsss> nice
[10:35] <lenzzzinoleonard> Sepro: I got USB ADSL modem(star com ut 300u). this page explains how to set it up. its in chinese. i used google to translate it.http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fftwyou.spaces.live.com%2Fblog%2Fcns%252197103926800CAC3%2521113.entry
[10:35] <Sepero> lenzzzinoleonard: I can't see it. It's a problem with freenode
[10:35] <alok_> type :sudo pppoeconf
[10:35] <user_999> hi,  want talking a japanese honest lady
[10:35] <alok_> it will guide u for usb adsl setup
[10:36] <alok_> yeah,probablyfor pm,u hav to register
[10:36] <Sepero> lenzzzinoleonard: Try joining this channel #lenz
[10:36] <astro76> !offtopic | user_999
[10:37] <ubotu> user_999: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:37] <daWabbit> Hello, all
[10:37] <user_999> hi
[10:37] <alok_> i got a small problem,anyone knows how to use webcam with gaim
[10:38] <daWabbit> alok; I tried it earlier. Don't have it working yet
[10:38] <alok_> i mean i wanna use yahoo mess,so any program in that respect which supports webcams
[10:38] <alok_> the yahoo mess from its website is damn old
[10:38] <Kiran_mac> hey im using pgadmin in ubuntu 7.04. wht should i put in the 'service' field?
[10:39] <daWabbit> Kiran_mac, I think you should put the name of the service you are trying to work on in it
[10:40] <zust> join #ubuntu cn
[10:40] <zust> join #ubuntu.cn
[10:40] <nanonyme> hmm?
[10:40] <daWabbit> What is "cn"?
[10:40] <Shyde> china
[10:40] <dirtyhand> is there a way to make ubuntu "rollback" to its install settings?
[10:40] <daWabbit> Thanks
[10:40] <dirtyhand> like system restore for ubuntu
[10:40] <Kiran_mac> daWabbit: but im failing to know 'wht' should i put to start postgressql in that field..
[10:40] <daWabbit> Not that I know of, dirtyhand
[10:41] <alok_> there is no such feature,and there will proabably never be
[10:41] <rothchild> dirtyhand have you tried dpkg --configure -a
[10:41] <nanonyme> it would be illogical anyway
[10:41] <alok_> because in linux all componenets are independent
[10:41] <daWabbit> Kiran_mac, Okay. Put the path to the postgressql executable in there. Something like /usr/bin/postgressql
[10:41] <nanonyme> considering unlike windows, linux doesn't just patch over everything
[10:41] <nanonyme> stuff is completely replaced
[10:41] <rothchild> or dpkg--reconfigure -a
[10:42] <dirtyhand> I have root access to this ubuntu server, but I dont know where i messed up so I want a clean install again (but i have no physical access to it)
[10:42] <pretts> any ideas where do I set the number of workpaces so cube on compiz fusion would be a cube? I currently have only one workspace
[10:42] <daWabbit> Kiran_mac, You can use the "whereis postgressql" command to find the path to the binary
[10:42] <nazgjunk> I've read that it's hardly possible to get a 1680x1050 res out of my ati card on linux (firegl in a thinkpad t60p) - is this true, and is there any way to at least get the screen to not be stretched?
[10:42] <nanonyme> dirtyhand, is it a virtual server?
[10:42] <dirtyhand> no
[10:42] <neumind> how i can open folder and in to folder copy files?
[10:43] <nanonyme> why don't you have physical access to it then?
[10:43] <dirtyhand> its locked in the server room at work and I wont be able to access it till nect week
[10:43] <nanonyme> ah
[10:43] <neumind> because i can`t paste in to folder nothing
[10:43] <daWabbit> neumind? are you using the command line?
[10:43] <rothchild> it's not quite system restore but if you've just borked up something minor it may work
[10:43] <frogz> dirtyhand: 2 options - fix it remotely, or arrange physical access & clean install
[10:43] <neumind> no
[10:43] <alok_> u can try modifying the xorg.conf file to change resolutions which u dont find
[10:43] <onats> what website in the us is the cheapest for pc hardware?
[10:43] <dirtyhand> can I uninstall all the stuff I installed via apt-get?
[10:43] <daWabbit> Okay. Then try clicking on the folder in the file manager and going from there. Pretty much like on a Windows or Mac
[10:43] <shriphani> neumind: cp <source> <destination>
[10:44] <rothchild> dirtyhand yes
[10:44] <frogz> dirtyhand: you can uninstall & reinstall sure - just don't uninstall your networking :)
[10:44] <shriphani> neumind: to copy a dir recursively cp -r <source> <dest.>
[10:44] <nanonyme> it's a better idea to install stuff with aptitude. uninstalling is more fun after that
[10:44] <neumind> i want in to folder paste file, but cant
[10:44] <bullgard4> During every cold start Ubuntu performs a 'sanitize start'. What is the purpose of this 'sanitize start'?
[10:44] <shriphani> neumind: which folder is that ?
[10:44] <daWabbit> You need to change the permissions oni t\
[10:44] <neumind> ipv6
[10:45] <neumind> how?
[10:45] <shriphani> ?
[10:45] <seraph34> the directions for the touchpad dealio didn't work... it returns this error "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics"
[10:45] <dashfield> Does anyone have any idea why mysql would fail to stop using "/etc/init.d/mysql stop"? It works roughly half the time, but fails the rest.
[10:45] <daWabbit> Use the "sudo" command, then supply the password when asked
[10:45] <shriphani> neumind: full path.
[10:45] <seraph34> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37507/
[10:46] <seraph34> that's my xorg.conf file
[10:46] <amarillion> I'm running gutsy but I don't get desktop effects. There is no Desktop Effects in the menu. How can I get it?
[10:46] <alok_> install compiz
[10:46] <alok_> that is same as desktop effects
[10:46] <astro76> seraph34, did you restart the X server since editing xorg.conf (ctrl+alt+backspace)?
[10:46] <daWabbit> I think you have to install some more stuff, amarillion
[10:47] <seraph34> astro76, yeah, I did...
[10:47] <amarillion> ah no... I see now
[10:47] <amarillion> it's under "appearance preferences"
[10:47] <amarillion> It doesn't work though...
[10:47] <codester> hello ppl, anyone know where i should look in ubuntu in order to get external keyboard and mouse that i plug in on a laptop, to get it to working?
[10:48] <nazgjunk> gah
[10:48] <nazgjunk> i can't help but admit that windows just does the trick better on a couple of details
[10:48] <shriphani> codester: my mouse works by default.. as soon as i plug it into my usb port.
[10:49] <daWabbit> My mouse and kb both had to be recognized the first time. I had to reboot
[10:49] <codester> shriphani, yeh thats what i am wondering, but my friend installed ubuntu on his laptop and he's asking my his keyboard and mouse that he plug in doesnt work
[10:49] <avt3kk> guys how do I set vlc in ubuntu dapper to loop any video playing from the internet?
[10:49] <Kopfgeldjaeger> hi
[10:50] <avt3kk> hello :)
[10:50] <iPhone> hi, i wonder if anyone know how to get a screen rectangle' size. any CLI? like import does which can get a rectangle' pic.
[10:50] <rothchild> how can I stop my usb harddrive mounting read only?
[10:50] <disinterested> nickrud: i installed gparted and it knocked the partitions right out
[10:50] <avt3kk> can I set vlc to loop automaticly?
[10:50] <avt3kk> repeat
[10:50] <frogz> iPhone: xwininfo from cli
[10:50] <shriphani> iPhone: screenshot ?
[10:50] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: chmod it.
[10:50] <iPhone> xwininfo just get a window. frogz
[10:51] <iPhone> shriphani: i just want the size, like -x xxxx -y xxx -w xx -h xxx. this format result
[10:51] <avt3kk> how do I loop vlc
[10:52] <alok_> @rothchild:modify the etc/fstab file
[10:52] <frogz> iPhone: xrandr for the monitor res'n?
[10:52] <alok_> change the option auto to noauto
[10:52] <avt3kk> alok is that for me?
[10:52] <alok_> nah.....i replied to rothchild
[10:52] <avt3kk> o
[10:52] <avt3kk> what about my thing?
[10:52] <avt3kk> loop vlc
[10:52] <IndyGunFreak> alok_: that really shouldn't be necessary, I've got 3 USB hard drives, never once modified fstab.
[10:53] <daWabbit> I'm looking now, avt3kk
[10:53] <avt3kk> ty :)
[10:53] <iPhone> o... xrandr? how to access? man xrandr give me a mess conception. frogz
[10:53] <alok_> @avt3kk:Open playlist and u will find the repeat opiton
[10:53] <daWabbit> avt3kk, I'm sorry it's taking me so long.
[10:53] <flushingmemos> hello!
[10:53] <avt3kk> loop for automaticly playing from the internet
[10:53] <rothchild> I've got this ongoing problem where it won't auto mount but when I use pmount-hal /dev/sdb1 it seems to screw up the permissions
[10:53] <daWabbit> alok is right. It's in the playlist options. I wasn't looking there
[10:54] <IndyGunFreak> alok_: when you put that @ in front of their name, it fails to alert them, just type their name, and it will highlight/alert the user.
[10:54] <avt3kk> its already playing off the internet
[10:54] <flushingmemos> where did synaptic install torrentflux?
[10:54] <avt3kk> just wont loop lol
[10:54] <alok_> yeah,thanx!
[10:54] <daWabbit> You can only loop locally stored content, I think
[10:54] <avt3kk> that sux
[10:54] <daWabbit> You would have to save it, then replay it
[10:54] <codester> any ubuntu guru able to give me some light on, why wouldnt mouse & keyboard that are plugged into a laptop that got ubuntu installed work? could it be a case that the kernel that came with it doesnt have the proper modules installed? cause i am trying to help a friend troubleshoot his installation
[10:55] <iPhone> do u use recordmydesktop? i just want make a bash to record part of screen video. that's all. frogz
[10:55] <iPhone> using mouse to drag a rectangle.
[10:55] <daWabbit> codester; It might be that the hub or port is no good. I have had that happen. Otherwise a reboot has been all that is needed to get kb and mouse working via USB
[10:56] <mark__> good morning, my problem is "linux-wide" and it is that i have "no signal" for my lcd no matter what i try, when i use the "nvidia" driver instead of "nv" or "vesa" in xorg.conf. i have a 8600GT
[10:56] <IndyGunFreak> flushingmemos: probably in ./torrentflux or something like that, open a terminal and type torrentflux, and i think it will start.
[10:56] <seraph34> is there a linux equivalent to Fraps?
[10:56] <SrPilha> hello folks
[10:56] <mark__> i am getting an error message while booting which says something like "failed to allocate memory resource at..." and then the address of my graphics card i think
[10:56] <flushingmemos> in what directory!?! need to configure databases...
[10:57] <SrPilha> ppl, can the latest Ubuntu write on an ntfs file system?
[10:57] <daWabbit> codester; My wife also informs me she had to enable USB keyboard in her Compaq's bios for it to work. That's a very new laptop
[10:57] <codester> daWabbit, hmm yeh but he's telling me that its working with the windows installation, but its not working with ubuntu, but i am thinking to myself that ubuntu release should have all the usb keyboard and mouse working properly
[10:57] <IndyGunFreak> flushingmemos: like i said, *probably* ./torrentflux
[10:57] <codester> daWabbit, ahh k thanks, i'll try that
[10:57] <flushingmemos> -bash: ./torrentflux: No such file or directory
[10:57] <bart_> hello all
[10:57] <daWabbit> codester; Make sure "hotplug" and USB utilities are installed
[10:57] <flushingmemos> :(
[10:58] <bart_> I'm searching for a video editor programm
[10:58] <SrPilha> actually, is there any Linux that can write to an ntfs filesystem?
[10:58] <seraph34> SrPilha,  the most recent stable release or the next planned release?
[10:58] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: yes, any recentish Linux can write to NTFS
[10:58] <SrPilha> seraph34, most recent
[10:58] <codester> daWabbit, wouldnt those utils get preinstalled when you do the ubuntu installation?
[10:58] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: it might not be a good idea though
[10:58] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, : why?
[10:58] <alok_> bart_:Use cinelerra
[10:59] <gordonjcp> bart_: there are a few; cinelerra (quite hard to use but powerful), kino (easy to use, bit like iMovie) and Open Movie Editor which I haven't tried
[10:59] <daWabbit> I do with Ubuntu Dapper, SrPilha. Just install ntfs tools. It's not safe, though, because NTFS support isn't really finished yet
[10:59] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, I'm only trying to save some oddly-named files from an ntfs hd
[10:59] <bart_> alok_: how do I get that (i use ubuntu feisty fanw)
[10:59] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: because NTFS write support isn't very stable and may lose data
[10:59] <astro76> !ntfs-3g | SrPilha
[10:59] <ubotu> SrPilha: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[10:59] <daWabbit> codester; Not always. Not on this machine. I had to install 2 extra packages for the USB to work right
[10:59] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: what exactly are you trying to do?
[10:59] <rothchild> indygunfreak when I try chmod it says chmod: changing permissions of `/media/usbdisk': Read-only file system
[10:59] <codester> daWabbit, ahh k
[10:59] <dirtyhand> How can I force a complete re-install of an apt-get package?
[10:59] <seraph34> aight folks... happy ubuntu-ing! see you later.
[10:59] <SrPilha> ubotu, thx !
[10:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thx ! - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:59] <dirtyhand> even if its already installed
[11:00] <gordonjcp> dirtyhand: apt-get install --reinstall foo
[11:00] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, I'm runing Ubuntu Live on a machine whose HD is dying
[11:00] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: your command should look something like this...  sudo chown user:group /dev/sdaX   where X is device number.
[11:00] <avt3kk> isnt there a new version of ubuntu that you can connect to yahoo chat and verify letters and numbers?
[11:00] <avt3kk> to get in room
[11:00] <alok_> bart_:Add this line at the end of ur /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:00] <alok_> http://www.kiberpipa.org/~muzzol/cinelerra/feisty-i386/
[11:01] <avt3kk> Alok is that it?
[11:01] <alok_> then u can use apt-get install
[11:01] <avt3kk> no lol
[11:01] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, so I'm trying to save all I can - but some of my files have names with accented letters
[11:01] <alok_> sorry apt-get update,then apt-get insatll cinelerra
[11:01] <SrPilha> and Ubuntu won't copy them (invalid encoding)
[11:01] <alecjw> hi. what music typesetters (like sibelius) do people recomment for ubuntu?
[11:02] <bart_> ok
[11:02] <alok_> *hey sorry for that typo,its install ;)
[11:02] <flushingmemos> how can i install the "debian menu?"
[11:02] <Lobezno> perdon el canal es en ingles
[11:02] <alecjw> !es | Lobezno
[11:02] <ubotu> Lobezno: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[11:03] <iPhone> do anyone use recordmydesktop? i just want make a bash to record part of screen video. that's all. using mouse to drag a rectangle.
[11:03] <daWabbit> Lobezno; Try #ubuntu.es
[11:03] <alok_> flushingmemos:Just go to system->preferences->Main menu
[11:03] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: right, you don't need NTFS write support then
[11:03] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, oh that's good news
[11:03] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, what should I do then?
[11:03] <alok_> flushingmemos:then use whatever menus u like!
[11:03] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: you just need to read the drive and write it to a new one, which could just as easily be ext3
[11:03] <flushingmemos> thx!
[11:04] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, that works for files whose names are "ok" for Ubuntu
[11:04] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: keep the failing drive cool as much as possible, even if that means running the PC with the case off and a blower blasting it with cold air
[11:04] <slimjimflim> does anybody know how to set up name-based virtualhosts on feisty?
[11:04] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: if the accented characters are UTF-8 then it should be fine, really
[11:05] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: you could try writing to a newly-formatted NTFS drive
[11:05] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, well Ubuntu sees the files, but puts "(invalid encoding)" on the side
[11:05] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: hm
[11:05] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: when you look at the filename in Ubuntu, does it still look "sensible"?
[11:05] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, actually, I had thought of writing ability just to rename them and then copy
[11:06] <flushingmemos> aah! I can go through synaptic
[11:06] <neumind>  xchat_print called without a valid context - and i can connect to ipv6 server, what a problem?
[11:06] <flushingmemos> by lookin at the package properties i can view installed files!
[11:06] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, oh yes, it just replaces accented letters with '?', but even filetype is recognised
[11:06] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-3061.html <- first hit on Gooooogle for "ubuntu ntfs invalid encoding"
[11:07] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, good idea :)
[11:07] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: have a read of that page, something there might be what you want
[11:07] <alok_> SrPilha:Trying mounting that drive,it worked for me,generally it doesnt open properly wid nautilus
[11:07] <gordonjcp> Windows NTFS partitions must be mounted with nls=utf8 added to the /etc/fstab file in order to see special characters.
[11:07] <gordonjcp> ^ there you go
[11:07] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, ahaaa thanks!
[11:08] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, will check the mount manual for syntax :)
[11:08] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: I don't have an NTFS disk to try it
[11:08] <dirtyhand> I'm trying to force reinstall Nginx but it wont create the /etc/init.d/nginx script
[11:08] <gordonjcp> well also on that page it gives examples of the mount command
[11:08] <neumind>  xchat_print called without a valid context - and i can connect to ipv6 server, what a problem?
[11:08] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, perfect! many thanks :)
[11:09] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: is it working?
[11:09] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, will go test it now
[11:09] <nanonyme> neumind, your question sounds like it's not making any sense
[11:09] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, brb
[11:09] <|brad|> haha
[11:09] <nanonyme> of course, i could be wrong
[11:09] <nanonyme> try rephrasing
[11:09] <neumind> ok i install ipv6 and connecting in to ipv6 server, but i disconected, its write -  xchat_print called without a valid context.
[11:11] <daWabbit> Neumind; Do you have X-Chat systray installed? I kept getting that message until I took that off
[11:11] <Rainarrow> Hello, is there a way to see the transferring speed when copying files in GNOME?
[11:11] <kjro> again me whit iptables problems .. don't know why .. but i cant specify nat-in ... it wont work...  anyone could help me hiwt this problem ???
[11:11] <neumind> daWabbit:  no i dont have, wher i get it?
[11:11] <daWabbit> In Synaptic
[11:11] <daWabbit> But I thought that might be the problem
[11:12] <neumind> daWabbit:  and more write - Unknown host. Maybe you misspelled it?
[11:12] <daWabbit> Okay. You're not connecting at all, then.
[11:12] <neumind> daWabbit:  whats a problem then?
[11:12] <daWabbit> Probably spelling of the host name
[11:13] <daWabbit> neumind, Check the hostname and or the address carefully, then try again
[11:13] <kimmey> Rainarrow: tell me if you find out something about that
[11:13] <LqR_> I'm trying to help a person with ubuntu who's having troubles with his nforce-based on board soundcard
[11:13] <neumind> daWabbit:  ok
[11:13] <Rainarrow> Hi guys, is there a way to see the speed rate when I copy files in GNOME? You know, just like the explorer of Vista
[11:14] <Rainarrow> hi kimmey
[11:14] <daWabbit> neumind, I know all about that problem. :) My spelling is bad
[11:14] <LqR_> "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
[11:14] <neumind> daWabbit:  i write this in to startv6.sh - #!/bin/sh
[11:14] <neumind> /sbin/ifconfig sit0 up
[11:14] <neumind> /sbin/ip -f inet6 route add 2002::/16 dev sit0 metric 1
[11:14] <neumind> /sbin/ip -f inet6 route add default via ::192.88.99.1
[11:15] <alok_> Rainarrow:I usually find the time left already there when i'm copying
[11:15] <alok_> Rainarrow:Wat version of gnome u use
[11:15] <neumind> daWabbit:  and this -#!/bin/sh
[11:15] <neumind> /sbin/ifconfig sit0 add 2002:c3c:b0e6::1/48
[11:15] <neumind> /sbin/ifconfig sit0 add 2002:c3c:b0e6::2/48
[11:15] <neumind> ... in to 2002:42f9:4287.sh
[11:15] <daWabbit> neumind, I'm not sure why you are using the -f option. Are you sure that's correct?
[11:15] <Rainarrow> Hi alok_, it's 2.18.1, the one comes with feisty
[11:16] <neumind> daWabbit:  i dont know
[11:16] <daWabbit> neumind, Neither do I. Guess we will have to read the man page again, eh?
[11:16] <Syonyde> Hello everyone
[11:16] <AHAM> hello
[11:16] <daWabbit> Hello, Syonyde
[11:16] <AHAM> i need help
[11:16] <neumind> daWabbit:  :/
[11:16] <alok_> Rainarrow:Then u should be getting the speeds,i usually see it when transfers are somewhat slow,as like copying from an usb drive
[11:16] <AHAM> please assist me
[11:16] <GreyWolfe> Hello, is there anyone available that can help me with a problem I am having?
[11:16] <Syonyde> Anyone experienced in dealing with ATI cards?
[11:17] <[DCH] Bret> Anyone got a penis?
[11:17] <daWabbit> I"ve just installed a couple, Syonyde
[11:17] <IndyGunFreak> GreyWolfe: well thats difficult to say, state your problem
[11:17] <Msh100> [DCH] Bret : You will end up getting kicked in here, Not a place for jokes
[11:17] <axz> guys whats best solution to make you partition fully accessible
[11:17] <disinterested> how would i get permission to write to a slave drive?
[11:17] <Syonyde> Did you have issues using a Widescreen resolution?
[11:18] <IndyGunFreak> axz: what type of partition is it?
[11:18] <daWabbit> chmod a+rw [device mount directory] 
[11:18] <axz> ext3
[11:18] <GreyWolfe> I am running both Windows XP and Ubuntu on seperate HDs, I need to use the recovery partition on my XP drive, but I believe GRUB is stopping me from booting straight from the recovery partition
[11:18] <IndyGunFreak> axz: then it should already be fully accessible with proper permissions.
[11:18] <avt3kk> stop hammer time :/
[11:18] <avt3kk> hhaahahh
[11:18] <BennieMan> can anyone help me with a link, where should i download Pidgin for Ubuntu ?
[11:18] <axz> use chmod?
[11:18] <avt3kk> weres that new version of ubuntu
[11:18] <AHAM> when i press the button 'music note' on my keyboard, it is set to open the default music player... but i don't want it to open Rhythmbox... i want it to open XMMS... how can i do that on Ubuntu 7.04??
[11:19] <andreas_> moin
[11:19] <Syonyde> ...Crap.
[11:19] <axz> IndyGunFreak, should i use chmod?
[11:19] <cemoi> ubuntu-fr
[11:19] <cemoi> oups
[11:20] <IndyGunFreak> axz: probably
[11:20] <axz> So what command? chmod +x ?
[11:20] <GreyWolfe> Can anyone offer any suggestions of how to fix this problem?
[11:20] <moDumass> hey all, ho i dloaded "Spring_0.75b1" but I have no idea how to install it.. how would i do this?
[11:20] <ehc> is there a way to have my computer hibernate in 20 minutes from a specified time?
[11:20] <Wipster> hey I have stopped my sound card magicaly switching using the asound set-default-card thing but teamspeak keeps loosing my sound and I have to change my /dev/dsp putting numbers at the end to find it how can I lock my sound card to just /dev/dsp?
[11:20] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: can you boot your winxp at all?
[11:20] <gordonjcp> AHAM: keyboard settings?
[11:21] <AHAM> i know
[11:21] <GreyWolfe> No, it just gives me a black screen. This problem just started tonight, up until now, I have had no problem with sual-booting
[11:21] <GreyWolfe> *dual
[11:21] <AHAM> i can't make xmms my default system-wide player
[11:21] <Syonyde> GreyWolfe, did you try attempting to switch the Hard Drive Boot order in your BIOS?
[11:21] <GreyWolfe> Yup
[11:21] <Syonyde> Hmm...
[11:21] <alok_> axz:Use 'sudo chmod a+x /' to make the whole partiton accessible by anybody,its though not recommended
[11:22] <IndyGunFreak> axz: wel,l i've set several usb drives writeable with this command  sudo chown indygunfreak:indygunfreak /dev/sdaX   where X is device number.
[11:22] <alok_> axz:Instead subtitute the folder u want in place of '/'
[11:22] <GreyWolfe> It is set by default to boot from the XP drive, but I was under the impression that GRUB overwrites the XP boot program
[11:22] <axz> alok_, is standlone pc
[11:22] <axz> nobody gets on it
[11:23] <vedang> yes, it dos
[11:23] <GreyWolfe> Syonyde, may I pm you, to avoid spamming up the channel?
[11:23] <Syonyde> Erm, I'm not really sure I could help much.
[11:23] <alok_> axz:But still,its a risk,if u ever go online
[11:23] <GreyWolfe> Ahh, okay
[11:23] <Syonyde> I was just attempting to give help. /swt
[11:23] <GreyWolfe> Heh, thanks anyways.
[11:23] <axz> hmmz
[11:23] <IndyGunFreak> GreyWolfe: so you get to your ubuntu install ok?
[11:24] <vedang> leave
[11:24] <axz> So can i get helpd to set hard driver/partition permissions so i can use my other harddrive
[11:24] <alok_> axz:Or else use 'chmod 777 /'
[11:24] <GreyWolfe> Yes, I am running Ubuntu right now, I have had it installed for a few days and had no problems
[11:24] <axz> that should work?
[11:24] <astro76> axz, do NOT do chmod 777 /
[11:25] <AHAM> when i press the button 'music note' on my keyboard, it is set to open the default music player... but i don't want it to open Rhythmbox... i want it to open XMMS... how can i do that on Ubuntu 7.04??
[11:25] <axz> lol
[11:25] <IndyGunFreak> !chmod | axz
[11:25] <ubotu> axz: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[11:25] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, yep, that worked :)
[11:25] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: if I were you I'd try gettig grub starting your xp, under the conf input boot xp and the /dev/hd?? hd-letter and partition number
[11:25] <SrPilha> ...and once more Linux saves my (or somebody else's, in this case) life
[11:25] <alok_> astro76;He wants to make his whole filesyatem accesible
[11:25] <axz> yeah guys seen that... there is no way making you other hard drive readble and writeble
[11:25] <GreyWolfe> Umm... would it be possible to speak in Linux-for-dummies?
[11:25] <IndyGunFreak> axz: of course there's a way.
[11:26] <GreyWolfe> This is my first time ever really installing and using anything Linux related
[11:26] <Nyle> how do i find out if I'm using swap
[11:26] <yetifoot> does anyone know how to use update-alternatives to change the default audio player?  i looked in /etc/alternatives but can't find it
[11:26] <Nyle> upon installation I did not create  swap partition
[11:26] <Nyle> what to do now?
[11:26] <Skumlesen> Wolfe, hang on
[11:26] <astro76> axz, what are you talking about here? where is the partition you want accessible mounted?
[11:26] <IndyGunFreak> Nyle: whats your system specs?
[11:26] <SrPilha> ok, now for saving everything in the most elegant way... brb
[11:26] <zaidar> yetifoot, sudo update-alternatives all
[11:26] <Nyle> 1gb ram
[11:26] <axz> yes astro76
[11:26] <Nyle> i am lagging like crazy
[11:27] <yetifoot> ziader, ok, will try thanks
[11:27] <IndyGunFreak> Nyle:  proc. speed and hard drive space
[11:27] <Nyle> i think i need swap cuz kernel is unloading stuff
[11:27] <astro76> axz, where is it mounted?
[11:27] <axz> I cant write on it... says on read access
[11:27] <AHAM> when i press the button 'music note' on my keyboard, it is set to open the default music player... but i don't want it to open Rhythmbox... i want it to open XMMS... how can i do that on Ubuntu 7.04??
[11:27] <Nyle> and its not cool
[11:27] <GreyWolfe> Ohh, I see what you are saying, GRUB is already set up to start XP, and until tonight, that has worked just fine. Now it just goes to a black screen and sits there after I select XP from the menu
[11:27] <astro76> axz, where are you trying to write?
[11:27] <Nyle> 3.5ghz core 2 duo, 1gb ram
[11:27] <zaidar> yetifoot, sudo update-alternatives --all i mean
[11:27] <IndyGunFreak> Nyle: you should'nt need swap..
[11:27] <axz> on my other hard disk i formated to ext3
[11:27] <Nyle> !swap
[11:27] <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
[11:27] <Nyle> nm
[11:27] <IndyGunFreak> Nyle: i never use swap on my laptop, and its not even half as powerful as your PC, and half the ram
[11:28] <axz> he is mounted in /media
[11:28] <Nyle> IndyGunFreak: it depends on whats running
[11:28] <axz> both of them
[11:28] <Nyle> I have probably 20 times the amount of stuff loaded in 10+ virtual desktops
[11:28] <IndyGunFreak> Nyle: well what ar eyou doing when you see the problem?
[11:28] <IndyGunFreak> well duh, VM takes a lot of ram,
[11:28] <Nyle> don't worry about it
[11:28] <Nyle> if you can't be useful, don't be useless
[11:28] <[DCH] Bret> I'm a newbie to Linux. I've grown up with windows. Will i be able to do EVERYTHING i do on windows on linux?
[11:28] <Nyle> i found out how to add swap space, thanks
[11:29] <Syonyde> Bret, No.
[11:29] <Syonyde> Not quite yet at least.
[11:29] <IndyGunFreak> [DCH] Bret: probably not.
[11:29] <[DCH] Bret> I play games, skype, msn, xfire, internet, irc and other stuff
[11:29] <Syonyde> I heard something about Video Calls on Skype don't work.
[11:30] <IndyGunFreak> [DCH] Bret: games will be yuor hangup
[11:30] <[DCH] Bret> And accessing windows dedicated servers.
[11:30] <IndyGunFreak> don't know what xfire is.
[11:30] <GreyWolfe> Bret, games seem to be the biggest problem, there are ways totake care of most other things
[11:30] <[DCH] Bret> I access remote desktop connection.
[11:30] <gvsa123> i thought
[11:30] <[DCH] Bret> Is that possible?
[11:30] <gvsa123> ooops
[11:30] <Syonyde> Do you use a Wireless connection?
[11:30] <[DCH] Bret> no
[11:30] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: its hard to say excatly what goes wrong, but if you make a recovery with winxp it will take over boot, and then you cant boot linux
[11:30] <rothchild> hmmm: chown: changing ownership of `/media/usbdisk': Read-only file system
[11:30] <gordonjcp> rothchild: mount -o remount,rw /media/usbdisk
[11:31] <jaie> where is the kernel source located in ubuntu ?
[11:31] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: i have a feeling youre not putting the correct device name.
[11:31] <astro76> axz, so you'd want to do this for ext3: sudo chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /media/mountpoint
[11:31] <GreyWolfe> Well, this is the recovery partition that was on my computer when I bought it. I have Ubuntu installed on an external HD
[11:31] <axz> thanks i try it
[11:32] <astro76> axz, replacing USERNAME of course
[11:32] <[DCH] Bret> The games i play are: W:ET, W:ETQW, CS:S and maybe i will get some more. And maybe WoW
[11:32] <axz> hehe
[11:32] <axz> :)
[11:32] <rothchild> indygunfreak how do I get the right name?
[11:32] <GreyWolfe> well, I know WoW works fine with WINE straight out of the box, as I was playing it earlier, don't know about the rest
[11:32] <[DCH] Bret> i can get ET for linux anyway
[11:32] <IndyGunFreak> [DCH] Bret: gaming is very hit miss, alot more miss than hit, with Linux...your best bet if you're a gamer, is to dual boot.
[11:33] <rothchild>  fdisk -l

[11:33] <rothchild> oops
[11:33] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: is that your usb device?
[11:33] <rothchild> yes
[11:33] <IndyGunFreak> then the device label is /dev/sdb1
[11:34] <GreyWolfe> Well, can anyone tell me how to completely disable GRUB, so that it will automatically boot the OS installed on the HD?
[11:34] <axz> astro76, works perfect
[11:34] <astro76> axz, excellent :)
[11:34] <axz> do i need to do this everytime now?
[11:34] <[DCH] Bret> Can i get a windows emulator that runs inside linux so i can play windows games?
[11:34] <astro76> axz, no it's permanent
[11:34] <axz> thanks mate you rox
[11:34] <dirtyhand> anyone know how to use a local text editor when working on files via ssh?
[11:34] <IndyGunFreak> GreyWolfe: easiest way, is to start your winxp disk in rescue mode, and run fixboot, and fixmbr fromt he DOS prompt... that will completely erase grub.
[11:34] <frogz> GreyWolfe: set the timeout=0 ?
[11:34] <gordonjcp> [DCH] Bret: depends on the game - you might be better with wine
[11:34] <[DCH] Bret> counter strike source
[11:35] <[DCH] Bret> maybe some other steam games
[11:35] <Gowrav> on my acer aspire 1350 laptop when i select ubuntu from grub menu it shows a error failed to alocate memory blah blah ( i couldn't read that) and then ubuntu runs well .. but sometimes it suddenly power off my laptop !!! that never happens in XP what may be the matter and how to resolve this !!
[11:35] <icecruncher> how do i compile c code?
[11:35] <astro76> !compile | icecruncher
[11:35] <ubotu> icecruncher: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[11:35] <magnetron> [DCH] Bret, GreyWolfe, axz: see http://appdb.winehq.org to see a list of windows programs and how well they run in Wine
[11:36] <GreyWolfe> The problem with that Indy, is that I can't access the recovery partition, I have the option to access it before GRUB activates it. When I hit the key to access it, nothing happens, the boot procedure continues as if I had not attempted to access the recovery partition
[11:36] <axz> magnetron, i dind asked for wine i know how it works :P
[11:36] <icecruncher> astro76: no, not a package, but  just one file.c
[11:36] <IndyGunFreak> GreyWolfe: i see, i have no idea then.. good luck
[11:37] <rothchild> sudo chown marc:marc /dev/sdb1 doesn't seem to do anything, it returns the prompt but I still cant write to or move folders about on the usb disk
[11:37] <GreyWolfe> Heh, okay thanks
[11:37] <AHAM> when i press the button 'music note' on my keyboard, it is set to open the default music player... but i don't want it to open Rhythmbox... i want it to open XMMS... how can i do that on Ubuntu 7.04??
[11:37] <magnetron> axz: and i didn't tell you how Wine works either :D
[11:37] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: you won't actually *see* it do anything.
[11:37] <astro76> icecruncher, install build-essential package, then gcc file.c
[11:37] <AHAM> answer me you stupid fucks

[11:39] <GreyWolfe> Gordon: I am having trouble accessing the recovery partition of my XP HD, GRUB seems to want to run no matter what I try to do though, and my system seems to ignore the fact that I have tried to interrupt the boot sequence
[11:39] <rothchild> no error no message I know but it doesn't seem to make any difference /media/usbdisk is still owned by root
[11:40] <magnetron> gvsa123: the yahoo support crew?
[11:40] <Nyle> ok we're good now
[11:40] <SrPilha> anyone?
[11:40] <gvsa123> magnetron: on freenode i mean
[11:40] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: well, your grouop/user names might be off, i gave you that example as how my machine is set up, yours may not be marc:marc
[11:40] <slimjimflim> Gowrav: `which java` ...that's the command
[11:40] <SrPilha> ppl, how do I check what filesystem I have on an external usb drive?
[11:40] <Gowrav> slimjimflim: thanx trying
[11:41] <rothchild> the user is right, not so sure about groups is there  a good default option to set it to?
[11:41] <astro76> SrPilha, if it's mounted, the output of 'mount' will tell you
[11:41] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: not that i know of.
[11:41] <nvtou> bonjour
[11:41] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: if your cd drive is setup as first boot option in bios, grub cannot prevent you from booting on the winxp cdrom
[11:41] <SrPilha> astro76, it mounts automatically when I plug it - where should I look for that output?
[11:41] <magnetron> hi nvtou
[11:41] <astro76> SrPilha, type 'mount' in a terminal
[11:41] <GreyWolfe> I was not given an XP cd when I got the computer, it came with the recovery partition instead.
[11:42] <SrPilha> astro76, ok will do - thx :)
[11:42] <slimjimflim> SrPilha, most of them are fat32 by default
[11:42] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: does the drive have data on it that you need?
[11:42] <GreyWolfe> Although, I guess I could just download XP and burn a CD, I have my own serial number anyways
[11:42] <rothchild> yes but I might be able to do something about it what are you suggesting?
[11:42] <webpower> rieccomi
[11:42] <webpower> ci sei?
[11:42] <slimjimflim> #windows
[11:43] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: do you share it with a windows partition/install?
[11:43] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: I would do that if I were you

[11:43] <magnetron> !piracy | GreyWolfe
[11:43] <ubotu> GreyWolfe: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o
[11:43] <SrPilha> astro76, yep works fine - unfortunately my big external HD is ntfs - oh well, it'll just take longer :)
[11:43] <rothchild> yes so it needs to be fat32
[11:43] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[11:43] <SrPilha> astro76, thx anyway, it helped
[11:43] <GreyWolfe> magnetron... I own a legal copy of Windows, how is that discussion of piracy?
[11:43] <[DCH] Bret> What is this character called? ~
[11:43] <Msh100> Hey guys ,What is the name for this symbal '~'
[11:43] <GreyWolfe> Msh that is a tilde I believe
[11:43] <faileas> GreyWolfe: if it is a recovery partition, some OEMs supply a repair kit to access it again
[11:44] <[DCH] Bret> `
[11:44] <faileas> Msh100: tilde
[11:44] <[DCH] Bret> That's tilde ``
[11:44] <faileas> AKA the doom console key ;p
[11:44] <SrPilha> that's all folks - thanks for the help
[11:44] <Kiran_mac> when i do: -- postgres=# ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'postgres';   ... it says 'ALTER ROLE'. does it mean password is not changed?
[11:44] <Msh100> Lol faileas :D
[11:44] <slimjimflim> Msh100 tilde, pronounced [til-day] 
[11:44] <magnetron> GreyWolfe: do you have permission from MS to make copies of winxp cds? if not, it's piracy. take that discussion somewhere else plz
[11:44] <Msh100> :D
[11:45] <Msh100> tild?
[11:45] <[DCH] Bret> tild
[11:45] <bhara1> hello
[11:45] <Msh100> ?r
[11:45] <GreyWolfe> I was under the impression that MS offered a download of XP on their website provided you prove you have a legal serial number. That is what I am referring to.
[11:45] <slimjimflim> it's a spanish word
[11:45] <magnetron> hi bhara1
[11:45] <rothchild> OT I don' think greywolfe is talking about piracy, he has a licence that came with the machine
[11:45] <Msh100> h?lL?
[11:45] <IndyGunFreak> GreyWolfe: lol, thats hilarious
[11:46] <[DCH] Bret> lol
[11:46] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe, do you have a link?
[11:46] <[DCH] Bret> If they did that, then anyone could have a serial key (real or fake) and get a free download.
[11:46] <IndyGunFreak> slimjimflim: i highly doubt he does.
[11:46] <slimjimflim> so do i
[11:46] <magnetron> GreyWolfe: winxp as a free download from MS if you provide serial? yeah right
[11:47] <GreyWolfe> I am looking now, I haven't checked, it was an idea. I know alot of their support requires a serial number to be provided
[11:47] <slimjimflim> you're full of it
[11:47] <rothchild> ms won't provide it that's for sure
[11:48] <IndyGunFreak> GreyWolfe: you'll be on that search for a while, just so hyou know.
[11:48] <magnetron> GreyWolfe: they don't offer windows as a download. period.
[11:48] <rothchild> they'll certainly want to see a receipt ;-)
[11:48] <faileas> GreyWolfe: they didn't. you can ask the OEM though
[11:48] <GreyWolfe> slim, bite me, you to magnatron. I have never tried to find this before, but then again, I should have assumed that MS tech support is as good as their actual product
[11:48] <faileas> magnetron: not exactly. you CAN download a windows iso legally through MSDN
[11:48] <slimjimflim> insite:microsoft.com "free operating system" OR "free trade secret download" OR "xp source code"
[11:49] <slimjimflim> google that
[11:49] <jurgentje> Anyone here who could help me out on an Apache issue? (when visiting the "localhost" site inside the LAN... all links made are referring to "localhost" instead of the internal IP... (local server is Joomla)
[11:49] <astro76> GreyWolfe, at this risk of OT, you can buy a replacement CD (assuming you had one to begin with) for $35 from them... feel your pain though, a recovery partition is next to worthless compared to an actual cd
[11:49] <IndyGunFreak> slimjimflim: lol
[11:49] <faileas> hmm
[11:49] <faileas> actually
[11:50] <faileas> you can make a recovery cd/dvd from the partition before hand
[11:50] <faileas> GreyWolfe: what make of laptop?
[11:50] <GreyWolfe> It's a desktop
[11:50] <slimjimflim> what does that have to do w/ ubuntu
[11:50] <astro76> he lost access to it installing Ubuntu, fair enough
[11:51] <slimjimflim> oic
[11:51] <[DCH] Bret> Does anyone know if i can get Remote Desktop Connection to access my servers on linux?
[11:51] <magnetron> !windows
[11:51] <ubotu> For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[11:51] <rothchild> rothchild is still on the edge of his seat for a decent solution for his usb drive woes
[11:52] <faileas> it would happen with any linux ;p
[11:52] <faileas> rothchild: what issue exactly?
[11:52] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe, did you check w/ your computer's manufacturer to see if they provide their own system restore? usually there's a hotkey you can hit at boot
[11:52] <rothchild> no auto mount and then persistent permissions problems when manual mounting
[11:52] <Skumlesen> [DCH] Bret: there are tons remote tools for linux, the remote desktop you know from MS os not one of them, but there are lost of laternatives
[11:52] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: the chmod command should work, i've used it many times, the only thing different in yours, is its fat32, and i've always done it on ext3 drives,s o maybe tahts the difference
[11:53] <GreyWolfe> That is what I tried slim, the boot sequence just continues as if I did nothing
[11:53] <slimjimflim> well, did you look up your specific model?
[11:53] <astro76> rothchild, for the no auto-mounting problem, you might want to try a dosfsck on it
[11:53] <GreyWolfe> Not yet, I'll have a look
[11:53] <slimjimflim> bingo
[11:53] <rothchild> astro76 thanks, what will that do?
[11:54] <astro76> rothchild, fix any filesystem errors, I've had that cure automounting for fat32 externals
[11:54] <astro76> rothchild, eg. sudo dosfsck /dev/whatever (must be unmounted)
[11:54] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe just promise you won't get scared of linux and not come back
[11:55] <Skumlesen> after trying ubuntu, I'm not going windows again
[11:55] <GreyWolfe> Nah, actually I am enjoying Linux.
[11:55] <rothchild> ok looks good can you guide me through?
[11:55] <IndyGunFreak> Skumlesen: well, don't completely abandon windows just yet.. its good to have a safetyblanket in case of a problem.
[11:55] <GreyWolfe> The only reason I want to keep XP going is that the frame rates on my games seem to die when I play them with WINE
[11:56] <Syonyde> Linux is very fickle, but too awesome to leave now.
[11:56] <rothchild> do I need an FSINFO sector
[11:56] <booster_614> it takes a while to learn it
[11:56] <Syonyde> Indeed.
[11:56] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe ya, me too, but i haven't given up on it
[11:56] <astro76> rothchild, what said that?
[11:56] <Syonyde> I hope when I get this laptop configured I can laugh about it and call myself a noob.
[11:56] <booster_614> <-----still has problems with shell
[11:57] <GreyWolfe> I got Compiz Fusion to work after hours of messing about with my stupid ATI video card. That was something of an accomplishment considering I had very little idea what I was doing.
[11:57] <rothchild> I'm running dosfsck /dev/sdc1
[11:57] <Syonyde> What ATI card by chance?
[11:57] <spasticfantastic> hi
[11:57] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: what did you do since the dualboot does not work anymore, do you know?
[11:57] <astro76> rothchild, ahh, I'd fix any problems reported
[11:57] <GreyWolfe> What do you mean Skum?
[11:58] <GreyWolfe> Radeon XPRESS 200
[11:58] <spasticfantastic> has anyone managed to get non-furry fonts on feisty?
[11:58] <Syonyde> Hmm
[11:58] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: did you just reboot linux, and choose winxp at boot and it didn't work?
[11:58] <GreyWolfe> It's decent, but I really want to upgrade it once I have the cash kicking around
[11:58] <rothchild> hmm, 'fats differ use first or second?'
[11:58] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe if you have problems w/ grub/lilo, you can always install one os on each hd and switch them from bios
[11:58] <Syonyde> I have an XPress Radeon 1200
[11:58] <booster_614> i cant figure out how to get compiz fousin to work...it came with my distro and i can see the settings menu but i cant get it to work
[11:58] <astro76> rothchild, err.. could you paste more of that to pastebin so we can see?
[11:59] <Syonyde> I wanted it to work, but I'd be happy getting my native resolution working.
[11:59] <astro76> !paste | rothchild
[11:59] <ubotu> rothchild: 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)
[11:59] <GreyWolfe> slim, I tried that, they are set up on different HDs, and even trying to boot from the XP HD, it still runs GRUB
[11:59] <triplc> hi all
[11:59] <GreyWolfe> Skum: Yea that's what I did
[12:00] <rothchild> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37517/
[12:00] <Skumlesen> I know the command for updating lilo, is just lilo, but what is it under grub?
[12:00] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe. does bios see both drives?
[12:00] <GreyWolfe> Yup slim
[12:01] <Kiran_mac> anyone using postgresql in ubuntu here ...
[12:01] <magnetron> spasticfantastic: to get sharp fonts, go to System > preferences > fonts and select sub pixel rendering
[12:01] <astro76> rothchild, wow I've never seen that, do you have important data on this drive?
[12:01] <Lattyware> Could someone help me, I get this trying to launch firestarter: gareth@gBox42:~$ sudo firestarter Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified (firestarter:10055): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[12:01] <slimjimflim> try unplugging the ubuntu drive and see what happens
[12:01] <NooB> suck
[12:02] <GreyWolfe> I tried that as well, GRUB still boots
[12:02] <spasticfantastic> magnetron: i tried that first with no success. i then did a find and found all the fonts on my system, then added them to xorg.conf after doing a mkfontdir/mkfontscale. i've also played with ~/.fonts.conf but it still looks blurred
[12:02] <rothchild> relatively but I can back it up to a windows box in the meantime if needs be, If I have to reformat it I need it to be shareable between windows and linux boxen
[12:02] <slimjimflim> then your mbr is corrupt
[12:02] <astro76> rothchild, well either way you might have damage (which is probably why it doesn't automount). I'd probably just pick the first one
[12:02] <astro76> rothchild, backup first then
[12:02] <GhostOfTheNet> have a question, i'm actually writing some functionality for the kuserok.c file to look up in an ladp directory instead of the .k5login file. my problem ist, when i configure the kerberos sources wiht LDFLAGS=-lldap some modules of kerberos can not comile. but i don't know howto modify the makefile.in to only adds -lldap to the kuserok.o
[12:03] <rothchild> top tip, thanks astro76
[12:03] <slimjimflim> try what i said first w/ the system restore
[12:03] <astro76> rothchild, http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/neurosetta/2003-July/000310.html
[12:03] <viper69_> viper69 on line
[12:03] <GreyWolfe> slim, You mean using the factory built in system restore?
[12:03] <triplc> How to mix with repo of Debian sid? (sorry if the question is about another distro). I am using Ubuntu, and I'd like to play wesnoth version 1.2.6 which is only available in other repo. I added "deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ sid main" into the /etc/apt/source.list, (and create /etc/apt/preferences as well). But after running apt-get update, it says error: "E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room" "E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.au.debian.org
[12:03] <magnetron> spasticfantastic: in the same dialog, click on "details..." and choose the one that's suitable for your LCD screen
[12:03] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe yes
[12:03] <astro76> triplc, yeah you can't do that
[12:04] <GreyWolfe> I tried that before I came here. Several times. The boot sequence continues as if I had done nothing.
[12:04] <booster_614> hey does beryl or compiz have a channel???
[12:04] <GhostOfTheNet> what do you need booster?
[12:04] <slimjimflim> you said you didn't look up directions for you specific box...google model #
[12:04] <faileas> spasticfantastic: furry fonts?
[12:04] <spasticfantastic> magnetron: oh it's a lot better since i cleaned my glasses
[12:05] <magnetron> lol
[12:05] <astro76> triplc, either install from official repos, failing that use a .deb designed for your Ubuntu version, failing that compile from source
[12:05] <GreyWolfe> Ahh ok. when I boot, it offers the option to System Restore at the same time it allows me to access the System Setup and such
[12:05] <magnetron> booster_614: #ubuntu-effects
[12:05] <slimjimflim> ya
[12:05] <triplc> astro76: i do not understand
[12:05] <slimjimflim> that
[12:05] <booster_614> i need help trying to figure why when i enable desktop effects my window borders vanish....and the cube dosent work
[12:05] <GreyWolfe> I tried that
[12:05] <booster_614> im on that channel but there is no one in htere
[12:05] <astro76> triplc, which part?
[12:06] <GreyWolfe> That is what I was saying I tried several times.
[12:06] <freetos>  /join #politics
[12:06] <GhostOfTheNet> you use fiesty?
[12:06] <booster_614> yes
[12:06] <slimjimflim> dunno then
[12:06] <GreyWolfe> Okay, thanks anyways.
[12:06] <slimjimflim> recuva, and reinstall
[12:06] <spasticfantastic> how stable are the gutsy prereleases?
[12:06] <magnetron> booster_614: use restricted driver manager to make sure you have the appropriate driver installed
[12:06] <triplc> astro76: actually, the idea of mixing up repo is what i read on wesnoth website: http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/WesnothBinariesLinux.
[12:06] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: have you tried doing an sudo update-grub
[12:06] <slimjimflim> i run feisty
[12:07] <magnetron> spasticfantastic: still alpha stage
[12:07] <booster_614> it says i dont need any restricted drivers
[12:07] <slimjimflim> yay for it
[12:07] <moggio_> what's the channel name for gutsy?
[12:07] <spasticfantastic> magnetron: worth trying?
[12:07] <GreyWolfe> Skum: Nope, I really don't know what to do. I am a complete Linux noob, having only installed it a few days ago.
[12:07] <NooB> noob?
[12:07] <GhostOfTheNet> booster look for my private message
[12:07] <NooB> yes?
[12:08] <booster_614> i didnt get one from you
[12:08] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: : try that, as it updates the mbr
[12:08] <astro76> triplc, that page warns specifically NOT to use the Debian package with Ubuntu (Do not attempt to install the debian package and associated dependencies using dpkg as you will break your environment! )
[12:08] <GreyWolfe> just sudo update-grub?
[12:08] <slimjimflim> anybody wanna recommend web design software?
[12:08] <magnetron> spasticfantastic: the beta will be released in a couple of weeks, the final release will be in a month. i would wait to beta at least
[12:08] <Skumlesen> yes
[12:08] <triplc> astro76: maybe i go to wesnoth irc room to see
[12:09] <astro76> triplc, either follow the Feisty instructions or the compiling instructions unless you want a broken system (http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/WesnothBinariesLinux#Compiling_2)
[12:09] <spasticfantastic> magnetron: seems like a quick turnover
[12:09] <moggio_> there's problems with openoffice pdf export, have they been fixed?
[12:09] <webpower> erver irc.azzurra.org
[12:09] <GreyWolfe> Ok, updated, I'll go try booting over again.
[12:09] <triplc> astro76: ah,... that's the "official warning"... which mean they have their guide to mix distro right below that :-)
[12:09] <astro76> triplc, and you're having problems, seems like a valid warning
[12:10] <magnetron> !gutsy  | spasticfantastic , moggio_
[12:10] <ubotu> spasticfantastic , moggio_: 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
[12:10] <astro76> !debian | triplc
[12:10] <ubotu> triplc: 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!
[12:10] <spasticfantastic> magnetron: cool, a beta in less than a week
[12:10] <leszek> hi
[12:10] <GhostOfTheNet> booster_614: foget the message, come to #booster
[12:10] <triplc> ubotu: yes... i know the relationship...

[12:11] <booster_614> ok
[12:11] <triplc> ok thanks you guys, i'll find another way
[12:11] <astro76> triplc, note the warning in the last line ;)
[12:11] <Skumlesen> a normal user can't mount a ntfs partition on anther harddrive, but you can as root, but still the normal user cant access the files, do anyone have a soltion for this?

[12:15] <Gowrav> astro76: thanx..
[12:15] <faileas> kde apps will work on gnome, gnome will work on KDE. only thing is that KDE apps will need some additional libs so if your space concious you need to be aware of that

[12:20] <degrit> 'allo
[12:20] <Gowrav> If this problem of mine solves .. then i can a sure to be on linux or i am not stable to stick with linux .... I can go to my windows systems in network but can't write them .. how i can use my ntfs partitions or windows network system as read-writable
[12:20] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: good idea
[12:20] <leszek> spasticfantastic: they are exactly the same thats the strange think
[12:20] <leszek> thing ;)
[12:21] <faileas> Gowrav: yeah, for network, samba, for ntfs ntfs-3g
[12:21] <Sepero> leszek: md5sum /location/to/cddrive
[12:21] <spasticfantastic> leszek: create new isos from the media and compare there md5sums
[12:21] <faileas> GreyWolfe: ping!
[12:21] <leszek> spasticfantastic: k
[12:21] <Gowrav> faileas: i have installed samba client but even then i can't write to my network systems ... permission issue ??
[12:22] <spasticfantastic> leszek: or a slower method would be to diff -r the mounted volumes
[12:22] <faileas> GreyWolfe: back up linux. manually add the drive with the recovery partition to grub. see if it boots ;p
[12:22] <leszek> spasticfantastic: i did the diff method few hours ago ;)
[12:22] <faileas> Gowrav; TBH i don't use samba, its slow. i use local web servers on every system ;p
[12:22] <GreyWolfe> Still doesn't work. If I try to install with my Ubuntu HD disconnected, GRUB still tries to load, and i get Error 21, which I am looking up now.
[12:22] <degrit> I have an odd problem: since yesterday, after a while the graphics take on a peculiar look, as if the color depth gets reduced to 8bit and a saturation/solarization filter is applied - if I restart X with ctrl-alt-bksp, everything turns back to normal
[12:23] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: diff the mounted volume might not get the boot sector
[12:23] <spasticfantastic> leszek: of the actual media? or looped isos?
[12:23] <leszek> spasticfantastic: looped isos
[12:23] <spasticfantastic> Sepero: no, it wont be which is why dd'ing to an iso is better
[12:23] <spasticfantastic> leszek: that wont show dodgy media
[12:23] <uptownben> Hi All. I just installed UBUNTU on my thinkpad x24 and I see that it does not recognize any compact flash cards that are plugged into the CF slot of the x24. anyone know how to solve this?
[12:24] <spasticfantastic> leszek: which it's beginning to look like
[12:24] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: do an lspci to detect which controller it uses. then google the chipset and ubuntu to see if it's been solved before
[12:25] <wi1> hi, umm, i don't want my hard drives to show up on the desktop. how do i get rid of them?
[12:25] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: might require a kernel tweak or firmware
[12:25] <spasticfantastic> wi1: reverse what you did to get them there - it's not a default
[12:25] <degrit> any clue on weird-and-sudden-changes-of-visuals fellows ? P:
[12:25] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: I think it is the default
[12:26] <leszek> spasticfantastic: interesting is that after entering something an pressing enter, when the live cd stops at squashfs its running again and starts normal, but if i do not enter anything it just stops
[12:26] <spasticfantastic> Sepero: isn't on this base feisty machine
[12:26] <wi1> spasticfantastic: i wasnt specific. they are usb drives and a second partition. they show up on default
[12:26] <TickBRown> Goog morning guys
[12:26] <jonnymac> morning
[12:26] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: I have a feisty machine too
[12:27] <spasticfantastic> wi1: ahh when you said "hard drive" i thought you meant what you said
[12:27] <uptownben> when I plug the CF card in I I see SCSI3: pata_pcmcia in the messages file, then I see "qc timeout (cmd 0x91)
[12:27] <frogz> wi1: it's in the gnome editor options, for nautilus "show volumes on desktop"
[12:27] <jonnymac> just thought I'd ask, what's the best cd/dvd ripper/burner
[12:27] <wi1> spasticfantastic: well, the _are_ hard drives
[12:27] <wi1> frogz: ah thx
[12:28] <CountX> whats wrong with emerald-themer?
[12:28] <spasticfantastic> wi1: more likely compact flash
[12:28] <CountX> am i just lame and stupid or does it just not work?
[12:28] <slimjimflim> jonnymac, serpentine works for me
[12:28] <magnetron> CountX: try asking in #ubuntu-effects
[12:28] <frogz> CountX: click restart window manager & new theme will start
[12:28] <spasticfantastic> jonnymac: mkisofs/cdrecord work great for burning
[12:28] <wi1> spasticfantastic: thanks for your help, but really, the are hard drives :)
[12:28] <CountX> frogz, where is that
[12:28] <frogz> CountX: on the emerald
[12:29] <CountX> frogz, thanks so much for helping but i cant find it
[12:29] <spasticfantastic> wi1: hehe
[12:29] <frogz> CountX: click on the emerald - what options?
[12:29] <CountX> frogz, it isnt there
[12:29] <frogz> CountX: it's there
[12:30] <CountX> frogz, just things like minimize and maximize
[12:30] <GreyWolfe> Ok, another suggestion has been given, can anyone walk me through adding a GRUB entry?
[12:30] <spasticfantastic> wi1: "A hard disk drive (HDD), commonly referred to as a hard drive, hard disk or fixed disk drive,[1]  is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces."
[12:30] <frogz> CountX: take a longer look
[12:30] <speps> hey guys...issue with rhythmbox. Some mp3 jumps every 2 seconds ...the files are good, if i play with other player the sounds perfect!Any idea???
[12:30] <spasticfantastic> wi1: "USB flash drives are NAND-type flash memory data storage devices integrated with a USB (universal serial bus) interface."
[12:31] <spasticfantastic> wi1: get the picture?
[12:31] <frogz> spasticfantastic: any way to increase rhythmbox's buffer space maybe?
[12:31] <GBenemy> Hello all again
[12:31] <spasticfantastic> frogz: i've never used it
[12:31] <leszek> hmm there is something wrong with the squashfs tools i think if i extract the filesystem.squashfs from the original feisty livecd  and repack it with mksquashfs and then build a new iso the iso stops at the squashfs message
[12:31] <wi1> spasticfantastic: its a so calles "personal media drive" from HP. they are usb connected hard drives that you can, if you want, take out of your pc without having to open the case
[12:31] <frogz> spasticfantastic: me 2
[12:31] <CountX> frogz, there is nothing but:minimize maximize resize  close always on top always on visible workspace only on this workspace, and move to workspace right
[12:32] <GBenemy> I'm at the download screen for Ubuntu, and it's asking me "Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)   OR   64bit AMD and Intel computers" I have an Intel processor but it's not 64bit its 32
[12:32] <speps> hey guys ... an issue with rhythmbox!
[12:32] <spasticfantastic> wi1: yeah, but by definitition, unless they store data magnetically on rotating platters, there more likley flash media, rather than hard driver
[12:32] <speps> some mp3 jumps every 2 seconds...
[12:32] <speps> they are good
[12:32] <faileas> GBenemy: standard
[12:32] <hackel> Can someone tell me what's wrong with this (unexpected token `then'): find . -mtime +7 -exec if grep -qe "^X-Spam-Level: \*\{6,\}$" '{}'; then mv -i '{}' /somedir; fi \;
[12:32] <GreyWolfe> Nevermind my last question, I understand how the GRUB entries work now
[12:32] <speps> because if i play them with another play they sounds perfect!
[12:33] <speps> is it a codec issue???
[12:33] <frogz> speps: any way to increase rhythmbox's buffer space maybe?
[12:33] <degrit> guys plz - anyone has the url for one of those image posting sites so's I can post screenshots and share my peculiar problem ?
[12:33] <spasticfantastic> hackel: escape the first ;
[12:33] <[DCH] Bret> What's the best distro for a newbie linux user?
[12:33] <[DCH] Bret> With as little console as possible.
[12:33] <astro76> [DCH] Bret, Ubuntu
[12:34] <hackel> spasticfantastic:  Won't that end the -exec clause prematurely?
[12:34] <magnetron> degrit: tinypic.com
[12:34] <astro76> wi1, easy way to tell, what's the size of the drive?
[12:34] <degrit> magnetron cheers

[12:34] <jonnymac> how do you enable the multiverse in feisty?
[12:34] <[DCH] Bret> Did anyone answer my question about Remote Desktop Connection? Can i get that on Linux?
[12:35] <wi1> astro76: 150 gb, but the point is that i dont want them on my desktop
[12:35] <spasticfantastic> hackel: might be worth using a for on the find results - certainly easier to debug or change
[12:35] <astro76> wi1, I know, but it's definitely a HDD then, not flash ;)

[12:35] <[DCH] Bret> I mean to access a dedicated server
[12:35] <[DCH] Bret> Not a PC
[12:35] <CountX> frogz, i started beryl from a terminal and it killed all my window borders
[12:35] <speps> frogz: how???
[12:35] <astro76> jonnymac, should be enabled by default, but you can enable it in system>admin>software sources
[12:35] <CountX> frogz, now i cant close or move anything
[12:35] <hackel> spasticfantastic:  I tried that first but I've got 15000 files...too many arguments.
[12:36] <astro76> [DCH] Bret, yeah vnc works on linux
[12:36] <frogz> speps: try settings - I don't using rhythmbox
[12:36] <astro76> [DCH] Bret, but if it's a server with command line only, perhaps just ssh
[12:36] <spasticfantastic> hackel: do a for file in $(find ....); do ... ; done rather than relying on globbing

[12:38] <GreyWolfe> sudo edit boot/grub/menu.lst should let me edit the GRUB menu, correct?
[12:38] <spasticfantastic> GreyWolfe: correct
[12:38] <[DCH] Bret> It's a windows dedicated server.
[12:39] <astro76> GreyWolfe, no sudo nano or gksudo gedit perhaps, and it's /boot/grub/menu.lst, you missed the first /
[12:39] <GreyWolfe> Thanks astro, I forgot the g

[12:42] <nanbudh> guys how do i uninstall TOR?
[12:43] <degrit>  after a while my desktop turns into this:  http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=5ys18o0 until I restart X with ctrl+alt+bksp - any ideas why, anyone ?
[12:43] <CountX> astro76, no one is helping in there
[12:43] <Gowrav> man smbmount : no manual entry !!
[12:43] <nanbudh> I think i must have installed through apt get
[12:43] <cyberphaz> remove tor and privproxy from your synaptic?
[12:43] <aycko> how can i fix my mbr to point to point to a certain mount?
[12:43] <spasticfantastic> nanbudh: apt-get remove
[12:43] <cyberphaz> ah apt-get remove
[12:43] <spasticfantastic> aycko: use the grub cli interface
[12:43] <cyberphaz> what spas said
[12:43] <nanbudh> i did not install through synaptic
[12:43] <spasticfantastic> aycko: just type grub and it's pretty self explanatory
[12:44] <cyberphaz> apt-get remove tor privproxy then
[12:44] <spasticfantastic> aycko: i.e. root (hd0,0) or w/e
[12:44] <nanbudh> cyberphaz: what wopuld be the exact command for apt get remove?
[12:44] <aycko> spasticfantastic: and then my mbr is fixed?
[12:44] <cyberphaz> apt-get remove tor
[12:44] <spasticfantastic> aycko: if you do it correctly
[12:44] <cyberphaz> and also privproxy if you installed it
[12:44] <aycko> currently windows got my mbr and my grub is on sda1
[12:45] <nanbudh> i have to uninstall and re install latest TO. do i then need to reinstall privoxy too?
[12:45] <spasticfantastic> aycko: without knowing what your partition table / objective is it's hard to advise
[12:45] <nanbudh> *TOR
[12:45] <cyberphaz> far as i know not, nanbudh
[12:45] <nanbudh> ok thanks a lot
[12:46] <aycko> spasticfantastic: sda1 -> /boot sda2 -> windows /sda3 -> root
[12:46] <aycko> and the rest is /home etc... which is not that importatn i guess
[12:46] <spasticfantastic> aycko: does your fstab reflect that?
[12:46] <aycko> yeah
[12:46] <nanbudh> another query: could any one suggest a program with which i can learn to touch type in unicode using any keyboard of my choice? i need to practice punjabi inscript keyboard
[12:47] <aycko> like i said everything is ok... just my mbr is overwriten. all boot information is still on /sda1.
[12:48] <spasticfantastic> aycko: in the grub interface try root (hd0,0) then setup (hd0) then quit
[12:48] <uptownben> i cant seem to be able to mount a windows share , any tips?

[12:48] <nanbudh> how about tuxtype? wouldi be able to practice any keyboard on it?
[12:49] <uptownben> its a windows xp share
[12:49] <uptownben> so.. yes
[12:49] <aycko> spasticfantastic: cool that was easy ;)
[12:49] <spasticfantastic> aycko: yup, pretty painless
[12:50] <aycko> i guess it was the right decision to use a seperate /boot partition ;)
[12:50] <def> hello
[12:50] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: tried googling "ubuntu smb howto" ?
[12:50] <def> what is your name
[12:50] <spasticfantastic> aycko: doesn't really make much difference
[12:51] <uptownben> I just found something about since I am not root I can not mount? is that the case?.. doesnt make any sense to have a "connect to server..." and "network" menu item if I can use them...
[12:51] <bhara1> hi
[12:51] <aycko> spasticfantastic: ok, thanks anyway ;)
[12:51] <aycko> u saved my day
[12:51] <Jords> My inbuilt laptop speakers in my hp nx5000 stop working after a hibernate- any ideas? Mixer settings don't change when I hibernate and then restore
[12:51] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: you need root access to manipulate most filesystems
[12:51] <jonnymac> is there some diagnostic tool I can use to determine whether or not there are thing on my computer that are un-needed, or do the same thing as another package?
[12:52] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: fstab/sudo can be used to allow user mounts
[12:52] <spasticfantastic> aycko: no problem
[12:52] <def> good bay
[12:52] <uptownben> Spas' : so why does UBUNTU provide those menu options if they are unuseable?
[12:52] <def> exit
[12:52] <astro76> uptownben, they're not unusable
[12:52] <kraut> moin
[12:53] <spasticfantastic> jonnymac: theres probably apt-* tools to remove deprecated dependencies - i don't think you'll find anything to remove duplicate purpose utils
[12:53] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: No, there's nothing like that.
[12:53] <uptownben> but I am not logged in as root I see no place to provide a username/pass either for root or for SMB access, which keeps getting denied.
[12:53] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: because you can't se something doesn't make them unusuable
[12:54] <spasticfantastic> Sepero: thats suprising
[12:54] <uptownben> I understand, but if I cant use it... it 's unuseable.
[12:54] <gnomefreak> spasticfantastic: did you try deborphan?
[12:54] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: It is up to the user to decide if 2 programs duplicate functionality.
[12:54] <frogz> uptownben: either install smb4k, or man mount/fstab
[12:55] <spasticfantastic> Sepero: indeed, like i suggested
[12:55] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: yep
[12:55] <Sepero> Hey guys. What happens when you mix Microsoft, Linux, kids and Mortal Kombat? : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5AX6bp53UU
[12:55] <jonnymac> ok, so I'm so new I bin downloading gxine, Mplayer movie player, and finally got dvd's to work on vlc but now I got all these apps I can't get rid of
[12:55] <spasticfantastic> gnomefreak: i've no need, i think jonnymac could do with googling it
[12:55] <uptownben> frogz: that's no problem, I was just wondering why UBUNTU provides those menu items if the user cant use them..
[12:56] <spasticfantastic> jonnymac: decide on what you like/need and apt-get remove the rest, then investigate deborphan
[12:56] <gunny03> Sepero: lame.
[12:56] <toplok>  misson:candela
[12:56] <astro76> uptownben, users can use them, you're just having a problem setting up samba (not uncommon)
[12:56] <Sepero> gunny03: thanks
[12:57] <gunny03> Sepero: Better to post that stuff in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:57] <Gowrav> i have mounted a smb path to /mnt/dualcore/C with root(su) but now I am not able to use it with other user login ( write permission denied ) !!
[12:57] <spasticfantastic> Gowrav: look at the user mount option for fstab
[12:58] <spasticfantastic> Gowrav: or take a look at man visudo
[12:58] <uptownben> astro76: the SMB command line tools are installed and I can run them and I see the SMB info on my network, but the menu items dont work (PLACES>NETWORK, PLACES>CONNECT TO SERVER...)
[12:59] <Brun> how install bootsplash on kde-look
[12:59] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: does your user have permissions to view the shares?
[01:01] <Sepero> uptownben: You've discovered out the secret we've all been trying to hide. Linux isn't perfect. :'(
[01:01] <bony> is there a way to show iceweasel as firefox? in orkut i get a message "orkut is not supported with the browser you are using" is there a way to show orkut that this browser is firefox infact?
[01:01] <uptownben> when I use smbclient -L I can see all the smares on my smb server
[01:01] <uptownben> *shares
[01:02] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: but can the user your trying to use the X applets with access the shares?
[01:02] <degrit> guys where are the desktop's color-depth settings ?
[01:02] <cyberphaz> xorg.conf far as i know
[01:02] <uptownben> spas: let me check
[01:03] <jrib> bony: you can set  general.useragent.override  in your about:config to a different user agent (a firefox one), or you can use the useragent switcher extension
[01:03] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: the first result of the google search suggested seems to explain all this
[01:04] <degrit> cyberphaz: ok seen it - can't you change from one to another from some control panel ?
[01:04] <Phlip> I just upgraded from dapper to fiesty (via edgy, of course) and now my system won't boot... I just get an error message from mdadm...  When it was upgrading, mdadm asked me what stuff it should do on boot, and I said "none" since I don't use RAID... has this broken something? And if so, how can I fix it?
[01:05] <jonnymac> if I remove gxine, it'll remove the plugin as well, will that affect the vlc player?
[01:05] <jrib> jonnymac: no, it shouldn't
[01:05] <spasticfantastic> jonnymac: i don't think vlc will be affected
[01:05] <jonnymac> ty
[01:05] <bony> jrib: well there is no general.useragent.override in about:config but when i change the value of general.useragent.extra.firefox from "Iceweasel/2.0.0.2" to "Firefox/2.0.0.2" it worked
[01:06] <jrib> bony: create the string
[01:06] <jonnymac> should I complete removal or just removal?
[01:06] <ghost> can someone help me with the makefiles and configure script of kerberos?
[01:06] <jrib> bony: or your way works too I suppose :)
[01:06] <astro76> jonnymac, complete will remove the programs config files as well
[01:06] <bony> jrib: yeah anyways thanks for suggestions :-)
[01:07] <Prowler_1> password protect a folder?
[01:08] <Gowrav> how can i change permissions of a directory and its sub directory .. without su i am not able to make folders in their ...
[01:08] <astro76> Prowler_1, unless you want encryption, just set permissions and ownership appropriately.
[01:08] <astro76> Gowrav, where?
[01:08] <spasticfantastic> Prowler_1: you can either create a tarball from the directory and encrypt it or encrypt the contents.. either way take a look at openssl or gpg
[01:09] <jrib> !permission > Gowrav (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:09] <spasticfantastic> Gowrav: man chmod
[01:09] <jrib> Gowrav: don't change permissions on system directories though, since if you change the wrong thing, you can break your system
[01:09] <Gowrav> astro76: i have mounted samba path to /mnt/dualcore/C (//dualcore and C share) with root permission (su) not when i am not su .. my other softwares like quanta etc are not able to make folders or files here ..
[01:10] <jrib> !samba > Gowrav (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:10] <nanbudh> guys where is the apt sources file located?

[01:18] <h1st0> gnomefreak: was it you that was telling me to create a wiki page several months ago because i'm always in here or something.  My name was chuckyp before.
[01:19] <h1st0> many moons ago.

[01:19] <zaidar> test
[01:19] <gnomefreak> h1st0: i cant remmeber last week

[01:19] <`EJ> \\'elcome ack jesus__
[01:21] <Prowler_1> ok, thnk you all.
[01:21] <kujo> anyone else find that ubuntu 7.04 takes a long time to boot up?
[01:22] <Prowler_1> i did found Cryptkeeper, i'm testing it now.
[01:22] <eckesicle> <30 secs for me
[01:22] <kujo> I get a blank screen for around a minute, and then it shows up on the screen
[01:23] <Balsus> Its quicker than XP. Mine takes less than 30 seconds. IMO running Ubuntu 7.04 on VMware Workstation.
[01:24] <Balsus> *i'm
[01:24] <kujo> I put mine on an old Dell Dimension 3000. I just wanted to try out a linux distro
[01:25] <Balsus> how much ram do you have
[01:25] <kujo> 768MB
[01:25] <h1st0> Balsus: have you checked out virtualbox?
[01:25] <Gowrav> ubotu: samba work done well ! thanx
[01:25] <h1st0> kujo: are you using a custom kernel because you should be getting a splash image.
[01:25] <h1st0> Gowrav: ubotu is a bot. Not a person
[01:25] <kujo> maybe i am
[01:26] <Balsus> No but I have heard of it hlst0
[01:26] <Gowrav> h1st0: yap i also came to know this !
[01:26] <Tasmaniac> _nand_, compagny? you mean company? (not beung rude)
[01:27] <Tasmaniac> geez my spelling sux
[01:27] <Balsus> just googleing virtualbox now
[01:27] <_nand_> Tasmaniac: compagny?
[01:27] <Balsus> my spelling is worse.
[01:27] <_nand_> oooh
[01:28] <Tasmaniac> _nand_, on the community wishes spec page
[01:28] <h1st0> Balsus: Its pretty nice alternative to vmware.  Plus it GPL
[01:28] <_nand_> Tasmaniac: sorry this is the french word for firm
[01:28] <kujo> h1st0: I installed Ubuntu onto my comp using a live cd. Is there any way, though, to find out if I'm missing a custom kernel, which one it is, and how to get it?
[01:28] <_nand_> Tasmaniac: i correct it :)
[01:28] <Balsus> hmm so does GPL mean I could use it at work.
[01:28] <h1st0> kujo: you didn't build a custom kernel if you don't even know what it is.
[01:28] <Balsus> sorry silly question
[01:28] <Tasmaniac> _nand_, no probs I'm native english and my spellin worse :)
[01:29] <h1st0> kujo: can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.1st
[01:29] <Balsus> LOL
[01:29] <_nand_> Tasmaniac: lol :) thanks for the hint, corrected :)
[01:29] <h1st0> Balsus: it means its open source.  VMware is not.
[01:29] <Balsus> excellent
[01:29] <h1st0> Balsus: err I should say its open source licensed under the GPL
[01:29] <Balsus> I will check it out
[01:29] <crypto> i have a small network running at home. i have utuntu server 7.4 installed on 1 PC and it is being used as a file server (using SAMBA). can someone please guide so that windows authentication automatically maps with relevant folders being shared on the file server.
[01:30] <dashfield> Does anyone know why stopping mysql would fail? Using "/etc/init.d/mysql stop"
[01:30] <kujo> h1st0: thank you for your help. Sorry, I'm a total noob :P
[01:30] <h1st0> crypto: edit the smb.conf and change security user to security share
[01:30] <gunny03> dashfield: you may need to sudo it?
[01:30] <Tasmaniac> crypto samba home page is really good
[01:30] <uptownben> OK..  So I am trying to figure out how a user can make use of the PLACES>CONNECT TO SERVER and PLACES>NETWORK menu options, I want to be able to mount a windows xp (SMB) share using those menu options..
[01:30] <crypto> Tasmaniac: read it but got confused.
[01:30] <Tasmaniac> dashfield, did you do sudo
[01:31] <h1st0> uptownben: what do you mean the are already there?
[01:31] <ZeroA4> Virtualbox is GPL if you download the source from the cvs/svn and compile it i think... the pre-made binaries are not GPL... and have extra functions like USB
[01:31] <dashfield> gunny03:  Ah, sadly it is being run by cron, so it should already be OK. :( But thanks.
[01:31] <crypto> h1st0: ok i'll do that. how do i allow so that a particular windows user has access to one folder but not the other
[01:31] <dashfield> Tasmaniac:  Cron is running it, but thanks for the suggestion.
[01:31] <h1st0> uptownben: click on places Net work and browse for the windows machine
[01:31] <h1st0> crypto: thats a little trickier then you want user auth not share authorization.  Let me get you a good howto hold up.
[01:32] <crypto> h1st0: that will be great. thank u
[01:32] <h1st0> crypto: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#Samba_Server
[01:32] <crypto> thanks
[01:32] <acuster> Hey all, how do I find the folk involved in bringing the java program to ubuntu?
[01:32] <h1st0> dashfield: you should still be able to stop it with sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[01:32] <gnomefreak> acuster: #ubuntu-motu
[01:33] <dashfield> h1st0: Oh I can do that. :) The problem is that when cron runs the command it doesn't work. This is bad, because I have to stop the daemon before backing up the database regularly.
[01:34] <ashu18> does anyone know how 2 play *.dat files in ubuntu?
[01:34] <MageOAO> anybody know of any good flash mx video tatoreals ?
[01:34] <Balsus> How do I get rid of my man boobs
[01:34] <ashu18> can it b played on totem?
[01:34] <Balsus> LOL just playin
[01:34] <h1st0> dashfield: why is cron running the command?
[01:35] <h1st0> ashu18: I would try vlc that pretty much plays anything.
[01:35] <uptownben> h1st0: that's what I did and I get a "folder canno tbe displayed" error..
[01:35] <uptownben> h1st0: that's what I did and I get a "folder canno tbe displayed" error..
[01:35] <uptownben> oops.
[01:35] <ompaul> dashfield, are you offering it an environment before you ask cron to run it?
[01:36] <h1st0> ashu18: thats a vcd file isn't it?
[01:36] <null> Hello, what is the way to use clamav without using amavis-new using postfix?
[01:36] <h1st0> !restricted | ashu18
[01:36] <ubotu> ashu18: 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
[01:36] <uptownben> I see no place to provide a smb username and password.
[01:36] <dashfield> h1st0: I have a bash script. All it does is stop mysql, run rsync, then start it again. This is to backup the databases and other files. Only when cron tries to stop mysql it comes back as "Failed"
[01:36] <h1st0> ashu18: follow the directions from ubotu
[01:36] <ZeroA4> ashu18, .dat is a generic extension used for many diferent things. if its a video totem may be able to play it if you have de need codecs installed
[01:36] <dashfield> ompaul: Now, this is a bit of a newb question, but how would I do that?
[01:36] <uptownben> I can onyl mount the share using smbmount (-t smbfs) as root.
[01:37] <h1st0> Maybe it was ompaul that was talking to me about it or something? Joining the community creating a wiki etc... when I used to go by chuckyp
[01:37] <uptownben> so my question remains, what does ubuntu provide those unuseable menu options under PLACES?
[01:37] <ashu18> hlst0: yes it's a vcd file
[01:37] <ompaul> dashfield, offer it a shell within the script would be a start
[01:37] <h1st0> uptownben: they are not unusuable they work fine?  Are you trying to connect to a samba share or a windows share?
[01:37] <ompaul> dashfield, tell it what paths its needs if it does not know them
[01:38] <sethc_>   /bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found
[01:38] <ZeroA4> uptownben, they are shortcuts to places most visited
[01:38] <ashu18> ZeroA4: yes it's a video
[01:38] <sethc_> it really gets annoying, is there a way to turn that off besides installing esound?
[01:38] <dashfield> ompaul: I see. I assumed it would just happily run the script from cron. the script just uses "/etc/init.d/mysql stop". How should I better define that?
[01:38] <uptownben> h1st0: a windows xp share
[01:38] <ashu18> ZeroA4: i hav installed all the codecs i could find in add / remove... (3 in all)
[01:38] <uptownben> ZeroA4, but they are unuseable.. which what I dont understand,,
[01:39] <ZeroA4> ashu18, gstreamer codecs?
[01:39] <codester> does anyone have a work around for ubuntu 7.04 usb & keyboard problem? i am trying to help a friend with it and i dont seem to know why a defualt installation of ubuntu cant detect a usb keyboard and mouse
[01:39] <ashu18> ZeroA4: yes
[01:39] <h1st0> uptownben: they would work for non security shares.  Normal public share
[01:39] <ZeroA4> uptownben, i use it quite a lot
[01:39] <ashu18> ZeroA4: will vlc play the file?
[01:39] <uptownben> are your SMB shares not pw protected?  opne?
[01:39] <ZeroA4> ashu18, lol! i was just writing to you try vlc :)
[01:40] <dashfield> ompaul: Apart from this problem, the machine works nicely as a webserver/mailserver. Its been fun to setup, too... I just need to make the daily backup work.
[01:40] <magnetron> codester: turn off the "USB keyboard and mouse support" in BIOS
[01:40] <ompaul> dashfield, with no passwords stick it into a pastebin but #!/bin/bash at the start is a useful idea
[01:40] <_nand_> codester: check on the BIOS
[01:40] <ashu18> ZeroA4: lol.... i m downloading it now anyway
[01:40] <h1st0> uptownben: you can do it either way.  The user can configure them that way.
[01:40] <ZeroA4> uptownben, SMB shares are not a unix/linux place thing
[01:40] <uptownben> ZeroA4: How did you set them up?
[01:40] <codester> magnetron, yeh i asked him to check about bios, he said there is no usb option in there, any other way?
[01:40] <ompaul> dashfield, I would imagine it is something very simple that is tripping you up
[01:41] <magnetron> codester: search in launchpad, see if it's a known bug
[01:41] <ZeroA4> uptownben, i dont use smb shares much... i prefer using ssh
[01:41] <h1st0> I have to catch some zzz's have a wedding later.
[01:41] <codester> magnetron, ahh k thanks
[01:42] <dashfield> ompaul: Oh, I've got #!/bin/bash in the script. Hmm, perhaps I'm looking at this the wrong way. Should I maybe stop apache after stopping mysql?
[01:42] <uptownben> ZeroA4: I have a vanilla install of ubuntu on my laptop, after install, I want to access the password protected shares on my windows network, using the PLACES menu options I cannot.
[01:42] <dashfield> ompaul: For some reason I cannot fathom, the mysql.err is blank. So I have no clues there.
[01:42] <ZeroA4> uptownben, there is a network place there, dont?
[01:42] <ompaul> dashfield, if it works one way i.e. when called from the command luine
[01:42] <jonnymac> how do I run deborphan?
[01:42] <sirbu> sorry my english, can anyone help how to clean local dns cache?
[01:43] <uptownben> When I usually use LinNeighborhood I am able to provide the username and password and it works fine.
[01:43] <ompaul> dashfield, and not another way then - the command line has properties your script does not
[01:43] <magnetron> uptownben: set the correct network name in System > administration > shared folders
[01:43] <dashfield> ompaul: That is logical, yes.
[01:43] <ompaul> dashfield, put in full paths to each and every part of the script
[01:43] <uptownben> ZeroA4: what?
[01:43] <booster_614> hey guys now that i have beryl running...can anyone tell me were i can find any cool skydome pics ???
[01:43] <dashfield> ompaul: I'll go over it again. Thank you.
[01:43] <h1st0> booster_614: gnome-look
[01:43] <booster_614> ok thanks guys
[01:43] <ZeroA4> uptownben, places - network : will open a nautilus with a list of networked machines
[01:44] <ashu18> ZeroA4: is automatix good?
[01:44] <ZeroA4> uptownben, much like windows network places i guess
[01:44] <uptownben> ZeroA4: correct, that is what I see.
[01:44] <sidewalk> how do i setup beryl, to run automatically?
[01:44] <magnetron> !automatix | ashu18 , ZeroA4
[01:44] <ubotu> ashu18 , ZeroA4: 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)
[01:45] <ZeroA4> ashu18, some people in the forums say it brokens ubuntu... i dont use is
[01:45] <uptownben> ZeroA4: I can also see a list of my local "workgroups"..
[01:45] <magnetron> !beryl | sidewalk
[01:45] <ubotu> sidewalk: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[01:45] <jez999> Is there a way to mount removable drives (eg. USB dongle) in a synchronous non-buffered mode?
[01:45] <uptownben> ZeroA4: but when I click on a workgroup, I get the error
[01:45] <ashu18> ZeroA4: vlc not playing .dat file either! ;(
[01:45] <ZeroA4> uptownben, from there you can access windows shares... nautilus ask for user/password/domain if needed
[01:46] <uptownben> ZeroA4: it's not asking.
[01:46] <ZeroA4> ashu18, :(
[01:46] <uptownben> and I dont see any way to force it
[01:47] <ZeroA4> uptownben, strange... try direct. write smb://machine-name or ip
[01:47] <jonnymac> It is a pretty dmb question but how do I run deborphan?
[01:47] <ashu18> ZeroA4: you know any other multimedia players?
[01:47] <ZeroA4> at the nautilus
[01:47] <ZeroA4> ashu18, mplayer
[01:47] <jonnymac> !deborphan
[01:47] <ubotu> deborphan is a program used to clean up packages that are no longer needed (install from Synaptic/Adept).
[01:47] <ashu18> ZeroA4: there's something called "Totem-Xine" thing in add/ remove
[01:47] <ZeroA4> ashu18, but may be you need w32codecs
[01:47] <ashu18> ZeroA4: how do i get them?
[01:47] <Tasmaniac> uptownben you want it to ask for a password or you cant see the shares at all?
[01:48] <[DCH] Bret> Can you get any good html editors on linux?
[01:48] <ZeroA4> ashu18, you need mediubuntu repositories
[01:48] <ashu18> ZeroA4: i am really a dork in these matters.... :(
[01:48] <sirbu> bl9, how to clean dns cache on local machine?)
[01:48] <ashu18> ZeroA4: could u just tell how 2 do it?
[01:48] <pac1> #sed
[01:48] <ZeroA4> [DCH] Bret, there is quanta, nvu, komposer, screem
[01:48] <ompaul> [DCH] Bret, you can try, "bluefish" on top of that last, or emacs also
[01:48] <ZeroA4> ashu18, wait
[01:49] <ashu18> ZeroA4: ok
[01:49] <[DCH] Bret> Is 7gb enough to run ubuntu on?
[01:49] <kRush> yep
[01:49] <frogz> [DCH] Bret: yes if you're careful
[01:49] <ZeroA4> [DCH] Bret, yes
[01:49] <ompaul> [DCH] Bret, better to give it more you could do it in that - but its a bit tight
[01:49] <[DCH] Bret> I'm only testing it at that stage
[01:49] <dns_56> you can have a usable system with about 4.5gb
[01:49] <lesshaste> I am trying to mount an external usb hard drive. How do I find out it's device name? All I get in dmesg is [161019.082654]  usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and
[01:49] <lesshaste> address 3
[01:49] <lesshaste> [161019.250157]  usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[01:50] <Rikimaru> oooppppa
[01:50] <ZeroA4> [DCH] Bret, depends of what you will install.  a base install of ubuntu uses 2GB
[01:50] <[DCH] Bret> I'd only be using it to test out the OS. Never used Linux apart from console based servers
[01:50] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, fdisk -l
[01:50] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, it lists devices...
[01:51] <lesshaste> ZeroA4: ok.. including new usb ones then?
[01:51] <[DCH] Bret> ill have windows on one HDD and linux on the other 7gb old hdd. If i like it enough, i will convert the main 160gb to ubuntu and use the 7gb as a backup or something
[01:51] <frogz> [DCH] Bret: not really a fair test in that footprint
[01:51] <jez999> Is there a way to mount removable drives (eg. USB dongle) in a synchronous non-buffered mode?
[01:51] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, yes
[01:51] <lesshaste> ZeroA4: trying it thanks
[01:52] <frogz> jez999: if you right click on the device from 'my computer' you can add the 'sync' mount option

[01:58] <jez999> frogz: and this behaviour isn't the default in Ubuntu, why?
[01:58] <ZeroA4> Mr_Pennywise, i dont know if i can help. but was is the chipset ? was it reconized ? the wi-fi network has wep/wpa ?
[01:58] <Trubadurix>   /etc/network/interfaces   add you key there maby
[01:58] <jpastore> I enabled compiz and now I don't have title bars and my gnome-terminal is all white on white
[01:59] <jpastore> I restored an old xorg.conf to get back to semi functional
[01:59] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, no... it has to be detected automatic... try another usb port, check cables/power etc
[01:59] <jrib> !compiz > jpastore (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:59] <jrib> jpastore: the wiki page has some troubleshooting steps for that issue, take a look
[01:59] <Mr_Pennywise> ZeroA4, Its Ethernet, it usually has wpa encryption but i took it away now to make it easier
[02:00] <lesshaste> ZeroA4: is there  SCSI Disk, SCSI Generic and USB Storage support in the ubuntu kernel?
[02:00] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, yes
[02:00] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, on default
[02:01] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, i use it with a usb adaptor for ide disk
[02:01] <sirbu>    ..
[02:01] <jrib> jpastore: well, the compizfusion page at the bottom does anyway, but ask in #ubuntu-effects if that doesn't work
[02:01] <jrib> !ru | sirbu
[02:01] <ubotu> sirbu:    #ubuntu-ru       /  Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke
[02:01] <lesshaste> ZeroA4: looks like I am in trouble...
[02:02] <ZeroA4> Mr_Pennywise, can you post the results from ifconfig -a on pastebin ?
[02:02] <|Mathias|> Hi!
[02:02] <Trubadurix> ubotu = bot?
[02:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bot? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:02] <jez999> and Ubuntu still whinges about 'unsafe device removal' when i unplug the USB dongle without umounting it
[02:02] <benzs_s> i'm trying to input my wifi key using 'sudo iwconfig rausb0 key blah' (where 'blah' is the key), but it throws up an error: "error for wireless request "set encode" (8B2A)". Any ideas?
[02:02] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, it is strange... it is plug and play out of the box
[02:02] <meuhlavache1> lol he is a bot
[02:02] <Trubadurix> helo how do i start my samba?
[02:02] <jez999> this is ridiculous, if a removable drive is mounted with sync, it IS safe just to remove
[02:02] <lesshaste> anyone know how to copy directly between two ubuntu boxes using an ethernet cable?
[02:03] <|Mathias|> ./etc/init.d/smb start    i think ?
[02:03] <|Mathias|> is there an iptables "guru" here ? ^^
[02:03] <jrib> jez999: what if it's copying a file...
[02:03] <Trubadurix> no such file or directory
[02:03] <jez999> you're unlikely to be stupid enough to remove it then
[02:03] <Trubadurix> smbc?
[02:03] <jrib> jez999: right, and how are you supposed to know when it is done?
[02:04] <|Mathias|> ah sorry /etc/init.d/samba
[02:04] <|Mathias|> smb is for suse
[02:04] <|Mathias|> ^^
[02:04] <jez999> the light stops flashing
[02:04] <ZeroA4> Trubadurix, may be ssh is easier for you...
[02:04] <jez999> whatsmore there's usually a graphical prompt too
[02:04] <Trubadurix> what is that?
[02:04] <jonnymac> how can you resize dvd files in k3b so's afterwards I can burn 'em onto a dvd?
[02:04] <ZeroA4> Trubadurix, another servie for sharing files and remote access
[02:05] <tingle> hi is er there a ubuntu channel for the new flavor im not sure about the name i think ubunut-jeos or something like that inc whit vmware
[02:05] <ZeroA4> Trubadurix, i thnik its much easier than samba to share files
[02:05] <ap> hi :)
[02:05] <lesshaste> jonnymac: do you mean something else?  your question is not clear
[02:05] <Trubadurix> but if i chose share file it installed smb
[02:05] <EvilBro> I'm running Feity with Compiz. Is it possible to make the 'show all windows' faster? (and perhaps less smooth as a consequence.)
[02:06] <ZeroA4> Trubadurix, samba is a bit hard to setup... you need to setup a share and a user
[02:06] <jonnymac> I have a dvd I need to rip and burn, I'm using K3b but the file comes up as 5.7Gb and I need it to be 4.3 so I can burn it onto another dvd
[02:06] <asc> I would like a computer to boot from the network, preferably from an OS install sitting on the disk of another machine. The client should be able to modify the local filesystem, but the remote file system should not be affected(like running from a livecd). Is what I'm looking for a PXE network boot?
[02:06] <kringel> hi everybody! have a question about launchpad. there's a small bug (a typo error) on the live cd. In the description of ClamWin for windows. What package is that on launchpad?
[02:06] <Trubadurix> ZeroA4: in terminal?
[02:06] <ZeroA4> Trubadurix, yes...
[02:07] <lesshaste> anyone know how to copy directly between two ubuntu boxes using a direct  ethernet connection?
[02:07] <Trubadurix> ZeroA4: samba have no graphical ?
[02:07] <ZeroA4> Trubadurix, there is a video on youtube about it... wait a littlew
[02:07] <magnetron> lesshaste: use ssh
[02:07] <lesshaste> magnetron: don't you have to set something up if you aren't using a network?
[02:07] <ZeroA4> Trubadurix, it has... but you will need to setup a user on terminal
[02:07] <magnetron> lesshaste: yes, you have to set it up
[02:07] <|Mathias|> Does anyone know what i have to do to activate a second external interface on my ubuntu server ? i mean, its active but i have to configure iptables, at the moment it looks like dead in the water
[02:08] <neumind> someone know video editor for ubuntu like for windows movie maker?
[02:08] <Trubadurix> ZeroA4: but if i chose share a folder with samba and then start samba then windows can come in my computer?
[02:08] <asc> lesshaste: sftp works. Or use nautilus to connect to the other machine (ssh://user@address)
[02:08] <jrib> neumind: pitivi, kino
[02:08] <_nand_> lesshaste: what i do : install ssh server on both (just have to install sshd) then use ssh connection with Place Connect to server
[02:08] <neumind> jrib:  wher get it?
[02:08] <jrib> neumind: same place you should get all ubuntu software: from the repositories, using your favorite package manager
[02:08] <ZeroA4> Trubadurix, yes... it will look like a windows share on a windows network
[02:08] <jrib> !software > neumind (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:08] <lesshaste> isn't there a problem with "cross over cables" or something like that?
[02:09] <ZeroA4> Trubadurix, http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad17kma8rNM
[02:09] <magnetron> lesshaste _nand_: you only have to install the ssh server on the computer acting as server. ssh package in synaptic
[02:09] <ZeroA4> Trubadurix, the video howto setup samba on ubuntu

[02:19] <predaeus> codester, I don't know, just guessing, but maybe the additional keyboards need to be defined in xorg.conf so X can see them.
[02:19] <predaeus> anybody else here who is using external keyboard or mouse with a laptop?
[02:20] <P3nnywise> ZeroA4, okay :p Well my problem is that i cant connect to my wrieless network and i cant connect through a cable either

[02:44] <PriceChild> XsteelWolf, how did you install the driver?
[02:45] <PriceChild> XsteelWolf, you just did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and selected nvidia?
[02:45] <XsteelWolf> my question was how do i install on terminal?
[02:45] <XsteelWolf> i don't even have wireless card drivers ready

[02:45] <PriceChild> XsteelWolf, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[02:45] <PriceChild> XsteelWolf, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[02:46] <xif> Preferably, one that can verify the burned DVD after creating it.
[02:46] <XsteelWolf> internet connection is needed right?
[02:46] <PriceChild> XsteelWolf, sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[02:46] <PriceChild> XsteelWolf, yes

[02:47] <ashu18> how do i play .dat video files in ubuntu 7.04?
[02:47] <DexterF> ah shoot. I installed libc6 from gutsy, need to go back to feisty's 2.5.0. pointers? aptitude reinstall won't do.
[02:47] <ashu18> i hav tried totem-gstreamer, totem-xine and mplayer
[02:47] <Anlar> ashu18: video-cd?
[02:48] <XsteelWolf> do i get the nvidia drivers first then reconfigure xserver or?
[02:48] <ashu18> Anlar: yes
[02:48] <XsteelWolf> ashu get mplayer
[02:48] <xif> What's a good command-line DVD burning utility?
[02:48] <Anlar> ashu18: thats weird, it should be (if they are standard) plain vanilla mpeg stuff and just play
[02:48] <ashu18> Anlar: i know it's weird
[02:49] <jpastore> when checking for updates it timesout search various repositories...says downloading files 68/72 and just bombs out
[02:49] <ashu18> Anlar: it's about the 50th problem i hav facd with ubuntu after switching frm windows.....
[02:49] <jpastore> should I remove repositories from the list it checks form?
[02:49] <XsteelWolf> do i get the nvidia drivers first then reconfigure xserver or?
[02:50] <savvas> ashu18: what's the problem? video files don't play?
[02:50] <savvas> woops
[02:50] <Robbster>  hi all. I'm running Ubuntu Feisty on my laptop. Earlier 2day, sound was fine, I suspended the machine and now I have no sound. I've rebooted, as well as restarting alsa. Any ideas?
[02:51] <dns_56> the alsa config cache must have been messed up, there is a file somewhere that stores this
[02:51] <savvas> Robbster: alt+f2 run gnome-volume-control check if there's another device under menu file > change device. try the other one and see if it plays
[02:52] <PriceChild> XsteelWolf, do the commands in the order I gave you.
[02:52] <XsteelWolf> ok
[02:52] <Robbster> savvas: tried that. I don't need to restart anything/log in between changing the device? anyway, there wa no change. all the volume levels are high.
[02:52] <XsteelWolf> and the first command
[02:52] <Bozza> whats an exe in linux ubuntu
[02:52] <XsteelWolf> everything left default?
[02:53] <Robbster> dns_56: and googling I can do?
[02:53] <dns_56> give me a sec
[02:53] <savvas> Bozza: a binary file that can't be read without wine :)
[02:53] <Robbster> dns_56: thx
[02:53] <Bozza> whats an executable file in ubuntu ?
[02:53] <SlimeyPete> Bozza: no such thing. Linux files don't tend to have file extensions.
[02:53] <Bozza> huh
[02:53] <[nrx] > you can 'execute' any file in linux
[02:53] <SlimeyPete> just pick whichever file looks likely, and try to execute it
[02:54] <savvas> Bozza: .bin or .sh, or you can make executable "bash scripts" by using chmod +x
[02:54] <Bozza> ohh . so how do i know which file executes .. like the main file or programm
[02:54] <SlimeyPete> if it works, you chose right ;)
[02:54] <Bozza> hmm ok thanks ill try
[02:54] <PriceChild> Bozza, read the README
[02:54] <PriceChild> or INSTALL
[02:54] <superkiwi> I got a new hdd today and I am wondering. Should I download tribe 5 or wait for the official 7.10 release?
[02:54] <PriceChild> superkiwi, wait
[02:54] <Bozza> ahh ok thanks :
[02:54] <savvas> PriceChild: or DIY ?:p
[02:54] <kauer> Bozza: Executable files in ubuntu don't have a special extension as they do in Windows. Al lfiles have a set of so-called "file permissions - for each of the owner, the group and "everyone e;se" they have flags indicating whether the file may be executed, read or written..
[02:54] <frogz> !gutsy | superkiwi
[02:54] <ubotu> superkiwi: 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
[02:54] <Robbster> superkiwi: wait. I played with tribe 5 a week or two back and it wasn't funny. Had to re-install Feisty. :(
[02:55] <dns_56> Robbster: try removing /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and restarting alsa
[02:55] <AbhijeetKaushik> Uhm I have 256 MB Of Ram And When I try to install Ubuntu everything goes fine and it starts to install But when it reaches 15 % That is "Determining FileSystem" It just hangs And Nothing happens
[02:55] <Robbster> dna_56 will do.
[02:55] <AbhijeetKaushik> Any ideas what is causing this?
[02:55] <superkiwi> I see. But if I for instance download 7.04, can I 'upgrade' to 7.10 when it is released?
[02:55] <PriceChild> superkiwi, yes
[02:55] <superkiwi> good, thanks :] 
[02:55] <savvas> Robbster: that's the point of tribe releases, reporting bugs :)
[02:55] <shtoom> Hi everybody, I've placed this entry in crontab  -----> 6 2  * * *  ktorrent
[02:56] <shtoom> But its not getting started as expected however all other entries like wget and killall commands in crontab are working fine. am I missing some thing here? I am using kde on ubuntu fiesty
[02:56] <frogz> superkiwi: sure
[02:56] <shtoom> 
[02:56] <ThisIsIt> be sure to back up important files first though superkiwi, errors been known to happen after updates
[02:56] <kauer> Bozza: Just because a file is marked "executable" doesn't make it so though, and more than you can rename any old file ",exe" in windows and expect it to work. But you can look at files in your file manager or with ls and see the permissions.
[02:56] <savvas> superkiwi: yeah, it's an easy alternate cd or upgrade from the update manager
[02:56] <kauer> Bozza: "and more" = "any more"
[02:56] <miffe> shtoom, does ktorrent need X?
[02:56] <Robbster> restart alsa: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart?
[02:56] <jrib> shtoom: you need to set the DISPLAY environment variable in your crontab
[02:56] <dns_56> yes
[02:57] <shtoom> miffe : yes it needs X
[02:57] <jrib> !cron > shtoom (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:57] <Robbster> dns_56: then there doesn't appear to be any change. I'm going to switch to another user to test ...
[02:57] <Luger> Hi all, I just installed Ubuntu on my pc and I got problems with using internet. I didn't change any setting yet because I don't know which things I need to change. This are my settings: http://i2.tinypic.com/4tsqvyo.png
[02:57] <AbhijeetKaushik> Any ideas people regarding the problem?
[02:58] <sebe> heyho
[02:58] <lnx_> openoffice doesnt print ( exit empty page ) someone have idea ?
[02:58] <Luger> I'm using a modem, router and cable internet
[02:58] <superkiwi> One last question, does wlan with wpa work on ubuntu?
[02:59] <user_> hasa
[02:59] <miffe> superkiwi, yes
[02:59] <dns_56> depends on the wireless driver for the moment, gutsy has improved this
[02:59] <frogz> superkiwi: if your wireless card has a decent driver, yes
[02:59] <jaggz-> I'm doing apt-get dist-upgrade on a hoary-hedgehog (really old) system
[03:00] <jaggz-> it's failing trying to update ffmpeg and gpart.. I'm not sure why but it's picking some older files which I don't see in the repository I'm using (I found one which still has support for hoary, but it doesn't have these old versions
[03:00] <jaggz-> oh, I've not done apt-get update in a long time.. could that be it?  <running it>
[03:00] <shtoom> jrib:does that mean add a line like this ? DISPLAY = :0.0
[03:00] <IdleOne> jaggz-: any reason why you dont want to download Fiesty and do a fresh install?
[03:00] <jrib> shtoom: no, see the wiki page for an example
[03:00] <Robbster> dns_56: doesn't work for any other user. so, aside from removing asound.state. what else can I do to find out what the prob could be?
[03:01] <Luger> Hi all, I just installed Ubuntu on my computer and I got the following settings: http://i2.tinypic.com/4tsqvyo.png and I can't mail or use firefox. I'm just a modem, router and I have a cable connection. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
[03:01] <dns_56> Robbster: restart the computer perhaps, i am not sure
[03:01] <shtoom> jrib : ok I'll check it out now thanks for your help :)
[03:01] <lnx_> openoffice doesnt print ( exit empty page ) someone have idea ?
[03:01] <Robbster> dns_56: I can try that. brb.....
[03:02] <ThisIsIt> anyone know how i can run a package that i installed that didnt give me an icon anywhere?
[03:02] <IdleOne> ThisIsIt: in terminal type the package name
[03:03] <b33r> Is it ok to install sun jre amd64 version?
[03:03] <MrKeuner> hi, will the ati 8.41 driver go in feisty repositories, or should i wait for 7.10 release for that?
[03:03] <ThisIsIt> hmm
[03:03] <IdleOne> !java | b33
[03:03] <ubotu> b33: 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

[03:03] <jaggz-> IdleOne, I backed up this system.. but I'm a bit scared to lose everything still
[03:03] <jrib> shtoom: if you want to set it on its own line, you need to do 'export DISPLAY=:0'
[03:03] <jaggz-> I'm not sure how to handle it properly
[03:03] <DexterF> how do I download ubuntu debs from a non-ubuntu dist? long story. is there a web interface?
[03:04] <frogz> DexterF: short answer - you don't
[03:04] <jrib> DexterF: tell us what you actually want to accomplish
[03:04] <jaggz-> it would seem the only "clean" way to do it would be to install from scratch and put files back on it.. I'm not sure how to do this cleanly otherwise
[03:05] <[nrx] > how old is dapper?
[03:05] <DexterF> jrib: installed glibc 2.6.1 from gutsy (looong story). results not good. wanna go back to feisty's 2.5.0. not in /var anymore. apt won't downgrade.
[03:05] <degrit> I have 1 update stuck in the updates notifier, which won't install nor go away - any clue ?
[03:05] <ThisIsIt> all it does is say "bash: package_name: command not found" IdleOne
[03:05] <IdleOne> jaggz-: that about the only way. put what you want to save on CD and then do a fresh install
[03:05] <ThisIsIt> is there something i type along with the package name?
[03:05] <IdleOne> ThisIsIt: what package?
[03:05] <ThisIsIt> avast antivirus
[03:05] <ThisIsIt> http://files.avast.com/files/linux/avast4workstation_1.0.8-2_i386.deb
[03:05] <jrib> DexterF: how did you ask it to downgrade?
[03:06] <dns_56> jaggz-: if possible you could go through all intermediate distro's, you could also remove just about everything except ubuntu-minimal to try
[03:06] <Robbster> dns_56: back. still no sound.... I suspect that it is related to the hibernate/suspend that I did earlier today, but I've got no idea how to check/debug/diagnose my sound issues...
[03:06] <miffe> [nrx] , its from 2006 06 iirc
[03:06] <IdleOne> ThisIsIt: try typing avast in terminal
[03:06] <DexterF> jrib: basically I removed the gutsy line in sources , updated and said aptitude reinstall
[03:06] <[nrx] > hm
[03:06] <Xero> :O Apt updates?
[03:06] <jrib> DexterF: sudo aptitude install PACKAGE=VERSION      get the version from 'apt-cache policy PACKAGE'
[03:06] <jaggz-> I have gigs of stuff.. photos too
[03:07] <[nrx] > i installed from the cd that i downloaded from the site.. and that's what it's installed ;o
[03:07] <ThisIsIt> it wants me to put my registration key in some file so i have to go hunting
[03:07] <jaggz-> I tarred it all up onto another drive over the network -- I'm just scared, y'know?
[03:07] <DexterF> jrib: awesome, thanks
[03:07] <ThisIsIt> oh or not
[03:07] <shtoom> jrib: setting it on its own like might be helpful i guess if I want multiple enteries of X applications in crontab, am I correct ? :-/
[03:07] <jaggz-> because it wasn't everything.. just things I selected
[03:07] <jrib> DexterF: <insert required warning about installing gutsy packages (especially glibc) on feisty>
[03:07] <bhara1> :)
[03:07] <jrib> shtoom: yep
[03:07] <jaggz-> I tried to get everything -- liberally -- but I still might have missed something
[03:07] <Xero> !~gutsy | Dexterf
[03:07] <ubotu> Dexterf: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[03:07] <dns_56> Robbster: well i did something like that when i tried and failed to suspend with my laptop, removing the previous config cache worked for me, hibernate/suspend does have issues with some hardware
[03:08] <DexterF> Xero, jrib: well... I had a bad feeling about that from the start, but the gutsy 2.6.22 kernel fixes some hardware trouble that's fscked up in 7.04 and really need my usb working
[03:08] <Robbster> dns_56: okay, thanks for the help. I'll keep hunting.
[03:08] <shtoom> jrib: Thanks a lot! :)
[03:08] <DexterF> so i got the gutsy kernel whcih wanted libc6-2.6.1
[03:09] <ThisIsIt> yay its running
[03:09] <savvas> ummm what was the package name for ascii art?
[03:10] <[nrx] > is there a timeline somewhere that shows the different ubuntu releases?
[03:10] <dns_56> savvas: aalib? or do you want fortunes?
[03:10] <jrib> !releases > [nrx]  (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:11] <jaggz-> a lynx/links using aalib to convert images to ascii would be nifty
[03:12] <jaggz-> has that been done yet or am I still living in my childish hopes from 9 years ago?
[03:12] <miffe> Robbster, have you tried to a real shutdown not just a reboot?
[03:12] <dns_56> there was a version of lynx that supported images in a frame buffer
[03:12] <[nrx] > guess i should update rom
[03:12] <jaggz-> in a frame buffer.. hmm
[03:12] <[nrx] > guess i should update from dapper then
[03:12] <Robbster> miffe: a hard boot, not just a 'restart'
[03:12] <ThisIsIt> there a way i can make a desktop shortcut that will type something in terminal to start these programs that dont come with icons?
[03:13] <IdleOne> ThisIsIt: glad it worked. you can make a launcher by right clicking on the desktop and then clicking on create launcher. gotta go and have a nice day all
[03:13] <miffe> Robbster, yes, that was needed to fix my soundcard problem when it stopped working after a suspend
[03:13] <Robbster> humm, I'll try that now. brb/
[03:14] <pupi120290> hello^^ is it possible when i run linux... that i can parallel use windows? is that xen or wmware?
[03:14] <ThisIsIt> ^_^
[03:14] <jaggz-> I know what -- I'm just going to tar up my whole system
[03:14] <pupi120290> !xen
[03:14] <ubotu> XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenOnEdgy
[03:15] <jaggz-> I have a system on our net with enough drive space for it.. then I won't have to be so stressed out

[03:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wmware - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:15] <savvas> pupi120290: you have a lot of that, virtualbox, vmware server, xen etc.
[03:15] <pupi120290> !virualization
[03:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about virualization - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:15] <pupi120290> !virtualization
[03:15] <ubotu> There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu or !qvm86), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[03:15] <dns_56> also qemu for a free option
[03:16] <savvas> dns_56: virtualbox is free, vmware server is free.. :p
[03:16] <pupi120290> !VirtualBox
[03:16] <ubotu> VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox
[03:16] <miffe> !qvm86

[03:16] <dns_56> free as in "free software"
[03:16] <|thunder> anyone care to help me test a strange firefox/google thing ?
[03:16] <savvas> pupi120290: sorry to bother ya, but have you ever heard of www.google.com ? i head it does great website searching :)
[03:16] <ferronica> Can we do Web Cam chat in ubuntu ?
[03:17] <Xero> ferronica, no.
[03:17] <Xero> This is IRC, not IM. You have absolutely no idea what kind of people lurk here, and that's why there is no webcam chat on IRC.
[03:17] <ferronica> Xero: what application do i need
[03:17] <|thunder> savvas; do this. search google for "kibadock wiki" with out the quotes? does it just give results or do something strange in firefox?
[03:18] <Xero> ferronica, if you want to IM, I suggest Kopete or Pidgin. Kopete has webcam support right out of the box.
[03:18] <savvas> |thunder: ?
[03:18] <Dr_Trompette> er irc.oleanne.net
[03:18] <|thunder> savvas; were you not talking to me ?
[03:18] <[nrx] > what's the codename of the current release?
[03:19] <|thunder> [nrx] ; feisty
[03:19] <Xero> [nrx] , Feisty Fawn
[03:19] <Dr_Trompette> dsol
[03:19] <[nrx] > and previous to that is edgy?
[03:19] <Dr_Trompette> fausse manip
[03:19] <savvas> |thunder: uh no.. but "kibadock wiki" returns the google results: http://www.google.com/search?q=kibadock%20wiki
[03:19] <Dr_Trompette> sorry
[03:19] <Dr_Trompette> :/
[03:20] <ferronica> Xero: In Gaim ?
[03:20] <|thunder> savvas; it savvas i know, but does firefox not popup some weird login window ?
[03:20] <Robbster> miffe: it worked - a cold boot fixed my sound issues
[03:20] <Xero> ferronica, Gaim is discontinued. If you want webcam support, sudo apt-get install kopete
[03:20] <savvas> |thunder: nope
[03:20] <|thunder> savvas; weird
[03:20] <jaggz-> gonna go while backing up
[03:20] <Xero> I'm sure tehre are others that have webcam support, but Kopete is the one that comes to my mind.
[03:20] <jaggz-> thanks
[03:20] <Xero> *there
[03:20] <miffe> Robbster, glad to help
[03:21] <ferronica> Xero: Is that KDE application
[03:21] <Robbster> dns_56: FYI, miffe suggested thta I cold boot and that 'fixed' my sound. It may have something to do with suspend putting the h/ware 'to sleep' and it not waking up again.
[03:21] <ferronica> Xero: right now i am using GAIM
[03:21] <Robbster> miffe: glad you could ;)
[03:21] <savvas> |thunder: try some of these addons, like adblock plus, noscript and customizegoogle: http://www.erroneous.name/ffaddons.html
[03:21] <Xero> ferronica, you can run KDE apps on GNOME if you install a few libs.
[03:21] <[nrx] > 1044 packages to update :o

[03:41] <jrib> !hostname > cox377 (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:41] <moDumass> any help would be awesome
[03:41] <eka> hi all
[03:42] <shtoom> kpgp installed shredder will remove files by over writing in that place around 34 times
[03:42] <ThisIsIt> KGpg's description only says it encrypts /decrypts
[03:42] <ThisIsIt> i just want to shred, as in overwrite the file as i delete it
[03:43] <eka> i found out that my windows desktop (at work) is a lot brighter than my gnome desktop at home in both i use LCD at 1280x1024 ... can be the fonts and theme? is there any way to make it clearer in gnome?
[03:43] <Dragon> hi all
[03:43] <jrib> ThisIsIt: depends on what you mean.  You can just go to file -> empty trash.  Or you can add a "delete now" option to your right click menu in nautilus's preferences.  If you want to use the terminal, 'rm' will delete a file right away.  If you want some kind of "secure" deletion, then look at 'shred' and 'wipe'
[03:43] <defrysk> eka, settings of your monitor perhaps ?
[03:43] <shtoom> hmm ya but I''ve also thought the same by reading its description but on the first configuration there is a option to install this shrdder on desktop
[03:43] <ThisIsIt> Mmk
[03:43] <eka> defrysk: in gnome is at 56hz there is no 60hz option... can be that=
[03:43] <eka> ?
[03:43] <jrib> ThisIsIt: pay very close attention to what the man pages of 'shred' and 'wipe' say about journaled filesystems though
[03:44] <cox377> jrib: cheers for the msg
[03:44] <defrysk> eka, I think its the settings of the monitor itself
[03:44] <eka> defrysk: i will try

[03:47] <ThisIsIt> it didnt do it in 6.10
[03:47] <ThisIsIt> but after a clean upgrade from a cd it does it
[03:47] <CyberCod> ThisIsIt: is it just during normal operation?
[03:48] <kauer> Alloosh: If you need to browse as root often, you can set up a task bar (or dektop) launcher with gksudo; then you'll be prompted for your passord, and sudo will run nautilus...
[03:48] <CyberCod> like it gets stuck on a sticky spot?
[03:48] <ThisIsIt> yeah
[03:48] <jonnymac> the external hard drive won't unmount or eject. It used to do so in windows, there are no open applications or files that use the external volume!?!

[03:49] <kauer> ThisIsIt: If you are using a ball mouse, clean the ball and the ball mount; even better, change to an optical mouse. If you are using an optical mouse,  check/clean the mousing surface.
[03:50] <Dragon> can anyone help me ? if i try to run the memtest86+.bin at grub i get the message: boot/memtest86+.bin Error 17 File not found

[03:52] <kauer> ThisIsIt: Does everything else stop too? Try running a system monitor (always on top, cyurrent window) so that you can do a quick and dirty check on system activity when it next freezes. And if the monitor freezes too, well, that's useful information too....
[03:52] <gnubuntu> ThisIsIt: please read the wiki from ubuntuusers.org :)
[03:53] <ThisIsIt> alright ill try and find a sys monitor
[03:53] <asc> Also, is it possible to star X without starting a window or login manager? E.g., so that ssh -X will work.

[04:15] <VousDeux> Oh, I just thought of an even better way to do it...maybe. I could mount the smb via ssh, that way I would have access to it anytime I have access to the Internet.

[04:17] <ThisIsIt> how do i install audacious from an extracted .tgz?
[04:17] <kkathman> yotam hmm odd - do you have the adobe flash plugin installed?
[04:17] <jrib> onats: it's ok to run on a livecd or in a vm, but don't run it as a desktop until it's released.  It seems usable enough now, but that doesn't mean it won't be completely broken tomorrow

[04:18] <ThisIsIt> it has to be .deb

[04:19] <jrib> ThisIsIt: because you don't download things manually to install programs in ubuntu, see ubotu

[04:20] <kkathman> yotam ok that sounds right
[04:21] <lowlux> ho does Shorewall compare to firestarter? any better?
[04:21] <doughboy> I was wanting to know when downloading feisty I thought I was to burn an ISO image onto a cd. How do you do this? I have image burning software and most items I wish to burn work fine. Why not feisty? I followed the instructions on site on how to burn cd image but the file I ended up with does not appear to have any files associated with it do so. Help
[04:21] <bozza__> can someone pleas kick Bozza so i can register my nick
[04:21] <frogzoo> lowlux: iptables is the best
[04:21] <lowlux> so firestarted i guess?
[04:21] <DjViper> frogzoo: both use iptables afaik
[04:21] <kkathman> yotam hard to say, I have had things stick before, but usually I peek at my perf. monitor and the CPU is pegged
[04:21] <[nrx] > doughboy: .iso is an image file. You need something like nero or infraburn. Tell it to burn an image, select the image and it should go okay
[04:22] <axz> jrib, there is only explanation what it is
[04:22] <faileas> bozza__: wouldn't do any good. is the other bozza you?
[04:22] <v_> bleht that font page in the wiki is no help. already been there.
[04:22] <axz> no HOW  TO install it
[04:22] <jrib> axz: no, it tells you what you need to install
[04:22] <ThisIsIt> Fluffy-Wuffy
[04:22] <fungos> no libatrac3plus on ubuntu?
[04:22] <jrib> axz: "To add support for it, install the unrar package from the multiverse repository"
[04:22] <kkathman> yotam:  maybe try running a "top" in a shell next time you run a YouTube and see if something bubbles to the top when itss sticking?
[04:23] <yotam> kkathman: How do I do that?
[04:23] <doughboy> I got infraburn. When you search for the file downloaded to make ubuntu disk using infraburn none of the files in the ubuntu folder associate with it. Either I got a strange download or something is happening
[04:23] <kkathman> yotam  open a terminal session on your screen and type    top
[04:24] <jrib> doughboy: you should have a single file that ends in ".iso".  Is that what you have?
[04:24] <[nrx] > doughboy: the downloaded file is a .iso yes? Well, open infraburn, select Burn Image and select the .iso file you downloaded
[04:24] <eights> lowlux: bastille or selinux too
[04:24] <doughboy> That is the problem When going to select an image nothing I downloaded shows up.

[04:26] <doughboy> Sorry the download has no such file. That is why I figured it strange when going to ubuntu site to download and you have to answer all these questions instead of like I used to do it. Select my own and go from there. Oh well will try downloading again to see if this time ti comes with .iso file.

[04:26] <[nrx] > it's only a .iso file you'll be downloading.. it's about 650mb or so

[04:27] <kauer> Fluffy-Wuffy: open a terminal window (same deal, always on top, current window) and run "top" in it. Since your hangs are longer than a second or so, you should be able to see what process is hogging the CPU during the next hang.
[04:27] <v_> frogzoo: no, they're not ttf, they're regular old pcf from the artwiz-fonts package
[04:27] <ackbahr> kkathman: Well, i tried +/- all methods (update-manager, adept or via console) to upgrade, but there seems to be a problem about some files it can't obtain....
[04:27] <v_> frogzoo: they get installed to /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
[04:27] <Fluffy-Wuffy> i have logging turned off though, will that effect it kauer?
[04:28] <kkathman> yotam:  well whatever program seems to be taxing the system the most, yes - if you have had Firefox up a while, you might try closing it, then waiting about 30 seconds, then reopen again, and try your YouTube
[04:28] <ackbahr> kkathman: Trying to do it again, to get you tangible errors to think about....
[04:28] <XsteelWolf> PriceChild there?

[04:30] <jrib> Fluffy-Wuffy: you need to enable the Universe repository by going to system -> administration -> software sources.  Then you can install audacious using your favorite package manager (for example, system -> administration -> synaptic)
[04:30] <tbaur> hi
[04:30] <Fluffy-Wuffy> o0o0o its there

[04:40] <b33r> jrib, I don't want to use a 32bit firefox -.-
[04:41] <mweichert> when I go to /prefs_groups_overview, I get AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has not attribute '__of'__'
[04:41] <jrib> b33r: blackdown is 1.4.2, that's probably why it is crashing.  I don't see other options
[04:41] <Fluffy-Wuffy> We're off to see the wizard! The wonderful wizard of Oz! \:D/
[04:42] <b33r> jrib, it's "1.4.2-02"
[04:42] <jrib> mweichert: in?
[04:42] <jrib> b33r: right and java is at 1.6 now
[04:42] <jrib> sun's

[04:42] <Roman|Vampyrus> hey guys i followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/1390 installed ndiswrapper and unpacked the dell exe file and installed the driver. it says that it is installed and present in ndiswrapper (gui). but i cant sellect it in networking. it doesnt work. what to do now?
[04:42] <DexterF> !kernel
[04:42] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[04:43] <b33r> jrib, so the only solution is to use firefox 32bit?
[04:43] <Pc_Dark> is it possible to get my Linksys Print Server to work with ubuntu?
[04:43] <jrib> b33r: the only one I see
[04:43] <b33r> =(
[04:43] <jrib> b33r: or just use 32bit firefox for the java sites
[04:43] <VousDeux> if the password= parameter in the mount command contains a $, can the password be enclosed in ""?
[04:43] <whileimhere> can anyone point me to a website that will tell me how to really figure out how much system resource a program uses?
[04:43] <Esteth> if compiz is allready running, can i "compiz --replace" to restart it?
[04:43] <amelia> hello I installed the xfce4 goodies package in gnome. How would I use it's weather applet?
[04:43] <jrib> mweichert: ah, might want to try #plone
[04:43] <b33r> jrib, I mostly use only java sites =/
[04:44] <mweichert> jrib: oops :)
[04:45] <VousDeux> I'm trying to mount an smb location, but I keep getting errors. I tried both smbfs and cifs. I suspect characters in the password. Is there a workaround that doesn't involve changing the password?
[04:45] <xdot> i burned 2 different boot cd's and when i try to 'start or install ubuntu' it says error reading boot cd, is that my cd or the reader?
[04:45] <begasus_> probly cd ...
[04:45] <begasus_> what speed did you burn?
[04:46] <begasus_> well atleast I found out that burning over 20x isn't always good for iso's
[04:46] <Roman|Vampyrus> noone here who can help me with ndiswrapper?
[04:46] <VousDeux> !ndiswrapper
[04:46] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:46] <Pc_Dark> could someone help me get a linksys print server to work with Ubuntu?
[04:46] <xdot> that could be
[04:46] <xdot> i burned at 24
[04:47] <ompaul> xdot, 8 is a good number
[04:47] <xdot> ok
[04:47] <dpml> I'm trying to figure out how I can configure a console with some particular environment variables.  Basically I need to have a shell established with development variables as opposed to normal runtime behaviour.  I tried doing things the way I would in WinXP by defining some variables and exporting them but they do not persit beyond the execution of a given script. Anyone have some ideas on this?
[04:47] <SlimeyPete> dpml: shove some exports in your .bashrc
[04:48] <[DCH] Bret> Can i get ubuntu without having to burn it to a CD?
[04:48] <ompaul> dpml, then log in freshly and they will persist
[04:48] <dpml> SlimeyPete: I added exports - no change
[04:48] <Bozza> guys how can i open rar archives in linux
[04:48] <jmak> !nvidia
[04:48] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:48] <[DCH] Bret> Just download it and run the installation files?
[04:48] <SlimeyPete> dpml: did you log in and out afterwards?
[04:48] <Bozza> what program do i use
[04:48] <jrib> !rar > Bozza (read the private message from ubotu)
[04:48] <bXi> is there anything like a sidebar for linux?
[04:48] <dpml> SlimeyPete: no
[04:48] <SlimeyPete> bXi: unrar
[04:48] <SlimeyPete> erm
[04:48] <SlimeyPete> Bozza: ^^
[04:48] <[DCH] Bret> Can i get ubuntu without having to burn it to a CD?
[04:48] <[DCH] Bret> Just download it and run the installation files?
[04:49] <SlimeyPete> [DCH] Bret: nope, sorry
[04:49] <faileas> [DCH] Bret: wubi
[04:49] <[DCH] Bret> wubi?
[04:49] <faileas> !wubi
[04:49] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[04:49] <SlimeyPete> oh... I didn't know about that
[04:49] <SlimeyPete> neat.
[04:50] <faileas> there's a linux equivilent called lubi
[04:50] <[DCH] Bret> Ahah!
[04:50] <Bozza> guys can you please name me a really good rar unpacker
[04:50] <[DCH] Bret> Just what i've been looking for
[04:50] <[DCH] Bret> Thank you
[04:50] <SlimeyPete> Bozza: unrar, like I said
[04:50] <Bozza> oh ok cool
[04:50] <Roman|Vampyrus> Vousdeux, i have already tried the fwcutter, didnt work either
[04:50] <faileas> you can also, in theory convert wubi from an image based install to a real one
[04:50] <SEppl> ai
[04:50] <[DCH] Bret> So, it will be exactly the same as if i had installed it from a CD?
[04:51] <Bozza> is the non free unrar expensive
[04:51] <Anmar> \l
[04:51] <Bozza> though i think the free one should do the job
[04:51] <xdot> lol im watching cheaters this show is so funny
[04:51] <jrib> Bozza: no, it doesn't cost anything, it's just not open source
[04:51] <MenZa> !free | Bozza
[04:51] <ubotu> Bozza: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing
[04:51] <jrib> Bozza: and free probably won't open any rar you have
[04:52] <Bozza> oh ok cool thanks
[04:53] <[DCH] Bret> lol. Downloaded it and trying to run it. Straight away i get the Has encountered an error and needs to close.
[04:53] <Xenguy> hrm apparently p7zip supports rar too
[04:54] <Xenguy> Bozza: ^^^
[04:54] <symtab> hello
[04:54] <symtab> any ideas what this means?
[04:54] <symtab> [120388.466178]  ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0xd0)

[04:55] <XsteelWolf> how do i use this command = sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
[04:55] <jrib> XsteelWolf: type it in a terminal and press enter
[04:55] <begasus_> replace uname -r with the stuff you get from running it in a terminal
[04:55] <jrib> !apt > XsteelWolf (read the private message from ubotu)
[04:55] <XsteelWolf> i mean
[04:55] <XsteelWolf> is there anything to replace?
[04:55] <jrib> begasus_: no need, that happens automatically
[04:55] <begasus_> ow ...
[04:55] <begasus_> ;)
[04:55] <XsteelWolf> im trying to get the linux kernel
[04:55] <begasus_> mf ;)
[04:55] <pbureau> hello to all

[04:56] <XsteelWolf> thanks
[04:56] <[DCH] Bret> Has anyone used this Wubi thing?
[04:56] <[DCH] Bret> Where it says "reboot and select Ubuntu" where the hell does that come up?
[04:57] <PaulEU> hello!
[04:57] <exqua> hello all

[04:57] <exqua> i'm new here
[04:57] <exqua> first time now
[04:57] <PaulEU> I have question: why thereisn't exist package emelfm2 ? I repository exist emelfm in gtk+1 :/
[04:57] <PaulEU> ??
[04:58] <PaulEU> why isn't there package emelfm2 (http://emelfm2.net/ScreenShots)
[04:58] <exqua> dunno m8
[04:58] <ginenbijnoam> My mouse (ps/2) doesn't work. It doesn't move. I run ubuntu in virtual pc 2007. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[04:59] <ZmaX> bye :)
[04:59] <exqua> Yesterday i installed Ubuntu Linux on my laptop, i always used Fedora. but i must say. i like ubuntu better
[05:00] <pbureau> ginenbijnoam, what kind of mouse is it ?
[05:00] <jiddo> Whenever I press a key on my keyboard, my mouse freezes for like 0.5 seconds or something like that. Does anyone know what might be wrong?
[05:00] <z3us0ne> anyone tryed to install ubuntu in to netfinity 5000 IBM server?
[05:00] <ectospasm> jiddo:  are they both USB?
[05:01] <NMajik> What exactly does adding & to the end of a command do?
[05:01] <jiddo> ectospasm: Yes, they are. Microsoft Habu Gaming Mouse + Locitech G15
[05:01] <ginenbijnoam> (pbureau): I'm no good with technical stuff, but it's a ps/2 compatible microsoft mouse
[05:01] <ectospasm> jiddo:  are they on the same port (via a hub), or something?
[05:02] <shamik> i am seeing blank screen whenever i play a video after installing beryl
[05:02] <shamik> any help?
[05:02] <ectospasm> jiddo:  or, is the mouse wireless?
[05:02] <jvai> hey ppls
[05:02] <abcblubb> hey there, i've got a VIA chrome9 vn896 and i've got no clue how to set the resolution higher than 800x600... any ideas?
[05:02] <jiddo> ectospasm: They are connected in the USB ports just next to each others on the back of the PC.
[05:02] <nanonyme> shamik, disable beryl?
[05:02] <jiddo> ectospasm: None of them are wireless.
[05:02] <nanonyme> shamik, that sounds like normal behaviour
[05:02] <begasus_> ;)
[05:02] <angelica> hi, i've a problem isntalling ubuntu on an old pc (i'm using alternate version), after loading the kernel the pc reboots itself
[05:03] <shamik> nanonyme is there any solutin to this problem?
[05:03] <ectospasm> angelica:  try passing acpi=off to the kernel before boot
[05:03] <Xera^> I keep getting the error "[ 3665.824000]  bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or loaded"
[05:03] <angelica> tnx :)
[05:03] <franz> [newbie question]  how  do i know what my FQDN is?
[05:03] <Xera^> How can I fix it?
[05:03] <nanonyme> shamik, yes, disable beryl
[05:03] <angelica> wait a sec i'll try
[05:04] <pbureau> ginenbijnoam, not sure normally it should of reconized it ... have you rebooted your machine ?
[05:04] <ginenbijnoam> yes
[05:04] <nanonyme> shamik, that's the exact reason it's not enabled by default
[05:04] <ectospasm> franz:  you can do an nslookup on your external IP address
[05:05] <ectospasm> angelica:  do you know how to pass kernel parameters before it loads the kernel?  I may have assumed too much
[05:05] <dpml> SlimeyPete: here is the script I'm running (test.sh):
[05:05] <dpml> #!/bin/sh
[05:05] <dpml> export DPML_HOME="$HOME/.dpml"
[05:05] <dpml> export DPML_SYSTEM="$DPML_HOME/share"
[05:05] <dpml> export PATH="$DPML_SYSTEM/bin:$PATH"
[05:05] <dpml> If I echo values inside the script they are fine - but if I echo after script completes - the variables are not not changed. I'm running the script using the command bash test.sh
[05:06] <ectospasm> !paste
[05:06] <panosru> how can i connected to #ubuntu-effects channel?
[05:06] <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)
[05:06] <samuel> sup all
[05:06] <samuel> anyone know of any decent replacements for final cut pro on linux?
[05:06] <|Lunar_Lamp|> I have a 9200SE graphics card and want to use the svideo out to attach my box to the TV.  I can get a tty working fine, but I can't manage it in X.  The screen seems to be, perhaps, at teh wrong refresh rate? How can I sort this?
[05:06] <pbureau> Xera^,  I had this problem, goto the ubuntu forum and search for this package and you run it and it will solve your problem pronto : bcm43xx-0.3.2-internet.tar.gz
[05:06] <ectospasm> franz:  I can't guarantee that it will work
[05:07] <pbureau> panosru, type /join #ubuntu-effects
[05:07] <ectospasm> but your actual FQDN is probably something not worth remembering anyway
[05:07] <jiddo> ectospasm: Got any suggestion on how I might be able to fix the freezing mouse? :S
[05:07] <doit> .
[05:08] <ectospasm> jiddo:  try another USB mouse, see if the problem follows the mouse or the computer
[05:08] <angelica> ectospasm: it doesn't work :(
[05:08] <jiddo> ectospasm: Allright. Thanks! :)
[05:08] <ectospasm> angelica:  is this a single processor machine?
[05:08] <panosru>  hi i when i try to enable desktop effects i get a message "Desktop effects could not be enabled" can anyone help me please?
[05:08] <Xera^> Ok new problem
[05:09] <franz> ectospasm, i think it does :-) ..btw, can i specify my own FQDN? ..or will it just give me my computer name?
[05:09] <angelica> ectospasm: yes, it's quite old (600 mhz) to pass kernel parameter i pressed f6 in the menu and then added the option to the line below
[05:09] <Xera^> My mouse is behaving really weirldy
[05:09] <ectospasm> panosru:  you have to have the proper hardware and drivers...
[05:09] <Xera^> weirdly*
[05:09] <nicatron> where does 7zip install two?
[05:09] <Xera^> I can onl
[05:09] <Xera^> ugh
[05:09] <gustavo> hey
[05:09] <ectospasm> nicatron:  I think it installs three in /dev/null
[05:09] <gustavo> does anyone knows a app to monitor the network?
[05:09] <ectospasm>  /joke
[05:09] <panosru> i think that i have, beryl works exept the cube, i installed properly the nvidia drivers
[05:10] <Xera^> I can only click on certain parts of the screen, to click on others I have to fiddle with (alt)tab etc to bring it into focus..
[05:10] <mantaro> if there's a failure on running a script located in /etc/init.d , where can I check for log files corresponding to such error?
[05:10] <nickrud> nicatron:   dpkg -L 7zip will tell you
[05:10] <kkathman> panique:  why not do compiz-fusion instead of beryl
[05:10] <ectospasm> mantaro:  do you know which script is failing?
[05:10] <kkathman> oops panosru  why not use compiz-fusion instead of beryl?
[05:10] <nicatron> not there...
[05:10] <mantaro> ectospasm: yes , but i don't see any log for that script
[05:10] <nicatron> i need the command for 7zip
[05:11] <j416> hello all
[05:11] <j416> i'm trying to find a gui partitioning tool in Ubuntu, is there one?
[05:11] <ectospasm> mantaro:  if you start that init script manually, does it give you any hints?
[05:11] <nicatron> gparted
[05:11] <faileas> j416: gparted
[05:11] <nickrud> nicatron: sorry typo:  p7zip
[05:11] <roadrunner> j416: gparted
[05:11] <j416> faileas: where can i find it?
[05:11] <begasus_> synaptics?
[05:11] <ectospasm> j416:  apt-get install gparted
[05:11] <Xera^> Anyone? This is really annoying :(
[05:11] <xeer_> when loading feisty, it stops at NetworkManager step 5. i have to switch to a new console and login manually, and then "startx" to get into my GUI.. why is it doing this?
[05:11] <begasus_> or that ;)
[05:12] <faileas> j416: i usually use it fro the livecd ;p
[05:12] <nickrud> nicatron:    dpkg -L p7zip | grep bin
[05:12] <panosru> what is compiz-fusion? Well i am, or i was windows user and i have very strong PC and even then vista stuck all the time, when i saw ubuntu i loved it and especialy when i saw it with beryl (through youtube) so i want to be 100% ubuntu user
[05:12] <nicatron> ok
[05:12] <mantaro> ectospasm: works fine when i run it  manually... btw, are the scripts in /etc/init.d run as root ?
[05:12] <panosru> i just don't know much...
[05:12] <ectospasm> mantaro:  yeah, as root
[05:12] <sPiTeFuLL> !mc
[05:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:12] <roadrunner> mantaro: what else?
[05:12] <j416> ectospasm: "Package gparted is not available, but is referred to by another package" when i run apt-get
[05:13] <sPiTeFuLL> Can soemone tell me how to make MC or Midnight COmmander ?
[05:13] <ectospasm> mantaro:  you may need to change the order it loads on boot
[05:13] <MenZa> sPiTeFuLL: sudo aptitude install mc?
[05:13] <jiddo> ectospasm: I tried with another mouse and then also with another keyboard, and it's basically the same, but I did notice one wierd thing.
[05:13] <nickrud> panosru: fusion is the successor to beryl, works better .  #compiz-fusion will help you set it up
[05:13] <sPiTeFuLL> Menza and tahts it?>
[05:13] <xeer_> when loading feisty, it stops at NetworkManager step 5. i have to switch to a new console and login manually, and then "startx" to get into my GUI.. why is it doing this?
[05:13] <sPiTeFuLL> for ubuntu feisty fawn
[05:13] <mantaro> ectospasm: thanks, i'll give it a try.. so there's no init.d log i assume...
[05:13] <ectospasm> mantaro:  man update-rc.d
[05:13] <jiddo> ectospasm: It seems as it works for a short period after re-connecting the mouse
[05:13] <ectospasm> Not usually, not
[05:13] <ectospasm> no
[05:13] <panosru> ok thank you very much :D
[05:14] <MenZa> sPiTeFuLL: should be.
[05:14] <jiddo> ectospasm: Could it have anything to do with the drivers used for the mouse/keyboard?
[05:14] <dpml> Can anyone explain why this script (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37542/) does not update the variables.  I run the script using 'bash test.sh' then after it has executed I enter the command echo $PATH and the value returned is not the updated value.  I don't understand what's happening (or not happening).
[05:14] <ectospasm> they should be standard, jiddo
[05:14] <nickrud> j416:   applications -> add/remove   preferences button, make sure main restricted universe & multiverse are ticked and hit update
[05:15] <sPiTeFuLL> !chmod
[05:15] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[05:15] <j416> nickrud: trying! thank you
[05:15] <jiddo> ectospasm: Perhaps that's the problem? Tho, I did try to install something called razertools or something like that for the mouse. But I have a fain recollection that it was like this before I did that as well.
[05:15] <sPiTeFuLL> !lamp
[05:15] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[05:15] <nickrud> dpml: variables set in a script only exist during the script;  you need to source the file
[05:15] <jiddo> ectospasm: Then I installed g15daemon for the keyboard
[05:16] <dpml> nickrud: what does "source the file" mean?
[05:16] <jiddo> ectospasm: So, is there like any way I can reset the drivers to the default or check which one is used?
[05:16] <j416> nickrud: "Gnome Partition Editor cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)" o_O
[05:16] <nickrud> dpml try   PATH=<whatever>    in a file, then do   source file
[05:16] <nickrud> j416: o_0 indeed
[05:17] <ectospasm> jiddo:  I dunno, I don't have experience with anything but standard keyboard and mouse drivers.  For me it just works.  Sometimes I have problems due to USB, but unplugging the devices and plugging them back in seems to solve it.  YMMV
[05:17] <dpml> nickrud: ok - so 'source file' is a command I should add to the script - correct?
[05:17] <jiddo> ectospasm: YMMV? What's that?
[05:17] <st3v3dnd> Is there a way to give regular applications keyboard shortcuts to open them quickly? I want to do it for gedit, but knowing in general for others would be nice.
[05:17] <ectospasm> angelica:  you could try noapic as well
[05:17] <khandi> hi anyone here with some OpenOffice experience? i wanted to install a dutch dictionary in it, but with the OOo macro it seems to crash when i want to run it
[05:17] <ectospasm> jiddo:  Your Mileage May Vary

[05:18] <begasus_> downloads scalawag ?
[05:18] <angelica> ectospasm: noapic or no acpi?

[05:18] <khandi> hi anyone here with some OpenOffice experience? i wanted to install a dutch dictionary in it, but with the OOo macro it seems to crash when i want to run it
[05:18] <angelica> ectospasm: ok trying :P
[05:18] <scalawag> 2.0.0.6
[05:19] <ectospasm> angelica:  I'll admit I get confused between the two
[05:19] <nickrud> j416: what version of ubuntu are you running, first
[05:19] <bruenig> there is a command called source also
[05:19] <dpml> nickrud: the script is in a file named test.sh, I run it using bash test.sh - I think I'm already doing what your suggesting
[05:19] <bruenig> or it is part of tcl I guess
[05:19] <scalawag> feisty fawn
[05:19] <ectospasm> bruenig:  source (or .) is a bash builtin
[05:19] <[DCH] Bret> Thanks for that Wubi link =] 
[05:20] <nickrud> dpml: not quite the same, no. compare the actions of source <file> and bash <file>
[05:20] <sPiTeFuLL> MenZa , but after sudo aptiteude install mc when i type MC it tells me to instaal mc, then i type sudo apt-get install mc, but then it shows me , that, package mc couldnt be found
[05:20] <ectospasm> dpml:  source is for loading your environment
[05:20] <l_r> hello
[05:20] <j416> nickrud: i just downloaded the latest 10 mins ago
[05:20] <j416> 7.04?
[05:20] <j416> 7.04.
[05:20] <nickrud> j416: 64bit, 32bit?
[05:20] <j416> 32bit
[05:20] <franz> ectospasm, hostname+domainname did the trick :-)
[05:20] <j416> standard version. Running on AMD Athlon
[05:20] <dpml> YES
[05:21] <ectospasm> franz:  heheh, OK
[05:21] <franz> ectospasm, thanks :)
[05:21] <nicatron> is there a GUI version of 7zip for Ubuntu?
[05:21] <nickrud> j416: ok, put the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list on a pastebin   (in a terminal,   gedit /etc/apt/sources.list  will open it read-only)
[05:22] <dpml> OK - where would one find more information about 'source' (doing man source returns no entries).
[05:22] <l_r> just out of my curiosity. why is there this particular sequence in version numbering of ubuntu: 6.06 6.10 7.04 7,10 and so on?
[05:22] <j416> nickrud: will try very soon, i tried reinstalling ubuntu now
[05:22] <j416> thank you!
[05:22] <ectospasm> dpml:  man bash
[05:22] <ectospasm> look for source
[05:22] <Pc_Dark> how do I scan a network
[05:22] <ectospasm> dpml ^^
[05:22] <ectospasm> Pc_Dark:  try nmap
[05:22] <nickrud> j416: sure, it's an odd problem, I kinda looked forward to looking at it
[05:22] <j416> nickrud: i didn't say i solved it :)
[05:22] <nicatron> is there a GUI version of 7zip or not?
[05:23] <[nrx] > how long does it usually take up upgrade distro?
[05:23] <faileas> not as far as i know
[05:23] <bruenig> tcl also has a function called source
[05:23] <ectospasm> nicatron:  what does this 7zip website tell you?
[05:23] <nicatron> let me check...
[05:23] <ectospasm> tickle...
[05:23] <angelica> ectospasm:  neither acpi=off not noapic work
[05:23] <sPiTeFuLL> Can soemone tell me how to make MC or Midnight COmmander ? For Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn ?!? PLEASE !

[05:23] <begasus_> were can I edit the host file ?
[05:23] <nickrud> nicatron: xarchive claims to be a front end for it; file-roller also claims to be able to handle them
[05:23] <ectospasm> angelica:  at what point does it reboot?
[05:24] <sPiTeFuLL> Can soemone tell me how to make MC or Midnight COmmander ? For Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn ?!? PLEASE ! SERVER edition

[05:25] <xeer_> when loading feisty, it stops at NetworkManager step 5. i have to switch to a new console and login manually, and then "startx" to get into my GUI.. why is it doing this?
[05:25] <angelica> ectospasm:  the last message i can read is about keyboard, but then several messages appear and then it reboots but i can't ready them, they show up for a short time
[05:25] <Bozza> has anyone else got this weird problem when trying to play a video

[05:26] <MenZa> sPiTeFuLL: just run this: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install mc
[05:26] <Bart_> wolferine: No this is what I mean but you cant cd to the folder and then just enter the name
[05:26] <MenZa> sPiTeFuLL: the "&&" token runs two commands
[05:26] <angelica> ectospasm: the numbers before the messages are 50.something
[05:26] <ectospasm> angelica:  I don't know what that means
[05:26] <ectospasm> angelica:  so it's loading the init scripts stuff?
[05:27] <wolferine> Bart_, just put ./name
[05:27] <ectospasm> angelica:  can you boot into rescue mode?

[05:28] <basix> how can i PXE Boot a Ubuntu Live CD?
[05:28] <wolferine> Bozza how many monitors to you have setup with your system ?
[05:28] <Bozza> i am trying with vlc .. but its the same with the standard movie player that comes with ubuntu
[05:28] <Bozza> just the one i am using
[05:28] <bsnider> is deluge-torrent in universe or not?
[05:29] <angelica> ectospasm: i do not have ubuntu on my system yet i'm just trying to install it from a CD
[05:29] <ectospasm> Oh, so the CD reboots...
[05:29] <ectospasm> hrm...
[05:29] <Bozza> the first time it worked ok
[05:29] <begasus_> nm .. found it ...
[05:29] <elias_> question about OVERHEATING with 686-smp on Feisty? any suggestions?
[05:29] <wolferine> Bozza, so when you open the movie in VLC, what exactly happens ?
[05:29] <Bozza> i could even view the video in cube mode
[05:29] <ectospasm> elias_:  is it overclocked?
[05:29] <nickrud> j416: ok,  do sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install gparted ; if it fails, put up the complete error
[05:29] <Bozza> well the movie open
[05:29] <Bozza> s
[05:29] <MenZa> bsnider: I recommend downloading packages off their site; the packages in Ubuntu are a bit old.
[05:29] <wolferine> Bozza | enter
[05:29] <Bozza> but if i press fullscreen it goes black
[05:29] <elias_> Ectospasm: what does this mean?
[05:29] <MenZa> !enter | Bozza
[05:29] <ubotu> Bozza: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:30] <wolferine> thanks MenZa
[05:30] <Bart_> and how do I kill the executable if it is a background process?
[05:30] <MenZa> wolferine: :)
[05:30] <Bozza> or if i go to file or view ... the screen just goes black
[05:30] <bsnider> MenZa: deluge doesn't even appear in universe here
[05:30] <bagus> bozza
[05:30] <MenZa> Bart_: kill <process id>
[05:30] <savvas> bsnider: no idea, but there are packages to be installed: http://www.deluge-torrent.org/
[05:30] <j416> nickrud: update part seems to work
[05:30] <MenZa> !info deluge-torent
[05:30] <Bozza> yea bagus
[05:30] <ubotu> Package deluge-torent does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[05:30] <MenZa> !info deluge-torrent
[05:30] <ubotu> Package deluge-torrent does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[05:30] <MenZa> Hmmm
[05:30] <nickrud> !info deluge
[05:30] <savvas> deluge is in gutsy
[05:30] <MenZa> I thought they were there
[05:30] <ubotu> Package deluge does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[05:30] <MenZa> Ahh, Gutsy only
[05:30] <Bart_> MenZa: but that will change everytime you restart it right?
[05:30] <bsnider> at some point, it's been removed then
[05:31] <bsnider> how confusing
[05:31] <j416> nickrud: it fetched a new version of gparted
[05:31] <j416> and...
[05:31] <MenZa> Bart_: That just closes the process
[05:31] <j416> it didn't complain
[05:31] <wolferine> Bozza have you tried running VLC from command line ?
[05:31] <j416> i guess it installed it!
[05:31] <Bozza> nope
[05:31] <nickrud> j416: good to go then
[05:31] <kkathman> woohoo compiz-fusion configured and running under ubuntu now  *happy dance*
[05:31] <Bozza> ill try one sec woferine
[05:31] <j416> wow1
[05:31] <Bart_> MenZa: yes, but I only have a process name ;)
[05:31] <MenZa> Bart_: killall -9 <process name> :)
[05:31] <j416> nickrud: you are the best, it worked! thank you so much
[05:31] <wolferine> Bozza do that, toggling full screen should give you some outout
[05:31] <angelica> ectospasm: so, what can i do?
[05:31] <Bozza> ok
[05:31] <mjsilva> is it possible to confiure postfix to use an exchange account so the mails I send not became JUNK?
[05:31] <[nrx] > how long does it usually take up upgrade distro?
[05:31] <elias_> Any OVERHEATING issues with 686-smp on Feisty? WHAT TO DO?
[05:32] <aubade> MenZa: 's also in edgy-backports.
[05:32] <Xenguy> Bart_: or pkill
[05:32] <MenZa> aubade: Yes, yes, I am in edgy-backports.
[05:32] <Bozza> ok same thing with starting vlc from command line !
[05:32] <strang3love> Greetings all
[05:32] <nickrud> [nrx] : depends on your packages installed and download speed; I needed 1.4gb downloaded last install, took a several hours for the complete run
[05:32] <MenZa> Yes, Bozza, but what output do you get :P? I bet that's what he wanted to know.
[05:32] <Bart_> Ok tnx
[05:32] <kkathman> mjsilva: funny emails I send arent junk why would yours?
[05:32] <Kanuha> help with manual partitioning. Have 3 partitions, 1st one is 75Gb and has Windows installed on it - 2nd one is 75Gb and I want to put Ubuntu on it - The 3rd one is 100Gb and is for storage and already has files on it. Guided partitioning does not work, it wants to use the whole 250Gb disk.
[05:32] <MenZa> Hi strang3love :)
[05:33] <Bozza> what output ?
[05:33] <Bozza> huh
[05:33] <[nrx] > nickrud: i'm going from dapper to edgy... i did the apt-get dist-upgrade... and now i'm in adept updater doing 1044 packages ;o
[05:33] <Bozza> i type in vlc in command line .. and it opens
[05:33] <faileas> Kanuha: don't partition then, use the current disk layout
[05:33] <nickrud> [nrx] : there you go :)
[05:33] <MenZa> Kanuha: Try running sudo fdisk -l and determine which partition runs Windows and so on, then partition manually, leaving your Windows and storange partitions unchanged.
[05:33] <[nrx] > nickrud: then i'll have to go from edgy to fiesty :/
[05:33] <Bozza> what do you mean by .. output ?
[05:34] <MenZa> Bozza: in the terminal.
[05:34] <soothsayer> Does anyone know of a good tool to index and search an mbox file? I don't want it treated as my own e-mail (i.e. No tight desktop integration)
[05:34] <MenZa> What does vlc say?
[05:34] <Bozza> can you give an example what i need to type in to command line
[05:34] <Bender1337> I am going to get tmobile wireless internet (only high speed i can get). Only problem is i will need a computer to act as a server so internet can be accessed from any computer at any time i need to get a pci to pcmcia can this be done in linux?
[05:34] <dpml> ectospasm: found it - bash(1) line 2070 - Shell Builtin Commands: source - thanks
[05:34] <Kanuha> faileas, but I have to set mount points for "/" root and "/swap"
[05:34] <MenZa> Bozza: just "vlc", then launch your file from it, and look at what the terminal says when it turns black.
[05:34] <Bozza> oh ok 1 sec
[05:34] <strang3love> i have finished a successful upgrade to gutsy, however my grub has lost its XP entry, any ideas on how to recover it?  i have sum and bum installed but haven't found a way to use them to correct the issue.
[05:35] <MenZa> !grub | strang3love
[05:35] <ubotu> strang3love: 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
[05:35] <MenZa> hmm
[05:35] <nickrud> [nrx] : yup. You can kinda get around that, especially if you have a separate home partition:  you can get a record of the packages you have installed, install feisty, then reload your packages
[05:35] <MenZa> Last link, I think, strang3love
[05:35] <faileas> Kanuha: how about deleting the partition and then telling it to use free space?
[05:35] <MenZa> strang3love: There should be something on adding more entries.
[05:35] <strang3love> its actually the other way around,  linux took my xp off grub,  but thanks i will do some reading
[05:35] <nickrud> [nrx] : less downloading, anyway
[05:36] <nickrud> strang3love: you have to add the stanza back, what partition is your windows on?
[05:36] <mjsilva> kkathman probably because I have not configured relay correctly with authetication
[05:36] <Ashfire908> can i make it so i can use a computer as a gateway for a ppp conection and still have the computer be able to access the ppp and netowrk connections?
[05:36] <[nrx] > nickrud: a record of the packages i have installed? i don't get you
[05:36] <strang3love> first partition master disk hd0,0 i think?
[05:36] <Fluffy-Wuffy> can someone pm me a user agent for ubuntu 7.04 with firefox 2.0.0.6
[05:36] <mjsilva> kkathman do you know to do that using exchange server as relay?
[05:37] <Bender1337> I am going to get tmobile wireless internet (only high speed i can get). Only problem is i will need a computer to act as a server so internet can be accessed from any computer at any time i need to get a pci to pcmcia can this be done in linux?
[05:37] <Kanuha> faileas, that may work, but I am concerned that the space I want for Ubuntu is in the middle of the disk. I don't want it to mess up any other partition during the process. Is it safe enough to delete that partition
[05:37] <nickrud> [nrx] :   dpkg --get-selections > mypackages  , then save that, install feisty, then sudo dpkg --set-selections < mypackages  && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade
[05:37] <kkathman> mjsilva:  are you sending mass marketing or something - dont understand why the relaying?
[05:37] <uttar1> I have installed kubuntu through apt-get on my ubuntu desktop. How do I delete all data (packages) related to ubuntu (including configuration files) ?
[05:37] <nickrud> strang3love: a sec
[05:37] <begasus_> No accelerated IMDCT transform found
[05:37] <begasus_> 
[05:37] <begasus_> same prob as Bozza
[05:37] <faileas> Kanuha: should ne..
[05:37] <webpirate> hello all...I have helped lots of people in here now it's my turn to ask for help......
[05:38] <kkathman> mjsilva: but to answer your question, its a matter of configuration of the user on the exchange side, to do the actual resending/forwarding
[05:38] <[nrx] > nickrud: so, when i install fiesty, that'll speed up the update process\stage?
[05:38] <Xera^> My laptop has a synaptics touch pad and it isn't working properly, I can only click on certain windows, if another window opens on top it's like it's not there, the mouse clicks whatever is underneath..
[05:38] <mjsilva> kkathman no I'm using with avantfax, but all faxes that arrives to my mailbox are considered junk and becasue I didn't confiure any relay in postfix I guess that's why outlook thinks this is junk (dunno if I'm wrong=)
[05:38] <kkathman> mjsilva:  try asking in ##windows, someone there probably knows specifically
[05:38] <bozza_> hey sorry system got stuck
[05:38] <nickrud> strang3love: add http://pastebin.ca/698615 below the AUTOMAGIC line in menu.lst
[05:39] <Fluffy-Wuffy> [nrx]  can you get me a default user agent for ubuntu 7.04 with firefox 2.0.0.6?
[05:39] <mjsilva> kkathman i'll try that tks ;)
[05:39] <bozza_> i thought linux wasnt meant to crash
[05:39] <webpirate> I can't get any USB storage device to work at all anymore.....in dmesg I get READ CAPACITY failed on evrything...digital cameras...usb stick....you name it...but mouse and joystick work
[05:39] <kkathman> mjsilva: be sure to ask as an exchange question primarily :)
[05:39] <mjsilva> kkathman lol :)
[05:39] <nickrud> [nrx] : it'll skip the edgy download & install, save a couple hours, anyway.
[05:39] <Ryan52> Somebody sent me a file and told me to run "gtar zxf sa1.gtar.z" but that gives me the error "bash: gtar: command not found" What do I need to install?
[05:39] <[nrx] > nickrud: i'm already half way through edgy tho
[05:39] <Kanuha> faileas, thx I may give that a try. I hate having to reinstall Ubuntu because it was working great, but I needed Windows for my Video Conferencing.
[05:40] <nickrud> [nrx] : then just keep going, no big deal really
[05:40] <bozza_> ok this is what command line tells me when the mistake happens
[05:40] <bozza_> ** (.:5417): CRITICAL **: clearlooks_style_draw_focus: assertion `height >= -1' failed
[05:40] <[nrx] > nickrud: i'll remember that for the future tho :)
[05:40] <bozza_> this is when i go into fullscreen
[05:40] <strang3love> thanks, so basically i am just adding the stanza info back to the grub list, any help on where the grub list is located?
[05:41] <bozza_> can someone help me on my problems with watching videos please
 whats the prblem?
[05:41] <strang3love> boot/grub/menu.lst?
[05:41] <nickrud> Ryan52: do   file < gtar.z file>   in a terminal , what does it say?
[05:41] <nickrud> strang3love: yes
[05:41] <Fluffy-Wuffy> user agent? anyone? :(
[05:41] <webpirate> havd you Tried XV?
[05:42] <Fluffy-Wuffy> simpe copy & paste will suffice
[05:42] <Fluffy-Wuffy> simple*
[05:42] <bozza_> well basically every time i watch a move . it starts up and works fine .. but when i do something like maxmise the window
[05:42] <bozza_> it goes black
[05:42] <Bender1337> I am going to get tmobile wireless internet (only high speed i can get). Only problem is i will need a computer to act as a server so internet can be accessed from any computer at any time i need to get a pci to pcmcia can this be done in linux?
[05:42] <kkathman> Bozza:  you have beryl or something of the sort runnng?
[05:42] <bozza_> yea i have compiz
[05:43] <bozza_>  . but first time i tried it it worked
[05:43] <kkathman> bozza_:  thats why
[05:43] <eon_> does anyone know how to set up a dual boot?
[05:43] <bozza_> well the first time i tried it worked
I had that problem with Nvidia drivers....
[05:43] <bozza_> i could even watch movies in the cube mode
[05:43] <faileas> eon_: partition, install windows, install linux
[05:43] <cretep> what is the command to tell me which version of ubuntu I'm running?
[05:43] <kkathman> bozza_:  i have a similar, occasional prob like that, not just with movie players tho with other windows
[05:43] <bozza_> and i could wobble the window and it worked
[05:43] <strang3love> eon what have you done so far?
[05:43] <nickrud> cretep: lsb_release -a
[05:43] <bozza_> i have an ati 9600 card
[05:43] <cretep> thank you

[05:44] <Bender1337> video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6104490811311898236
[05:44] <bozza_> maybe i should install a graphics driver
[05:44] <kkathman> bozza_  I think it may have something to do with the way compiz manages memory and its slow to react
[05:44] <eon_> faileas: i have ubuntu feisty and i wanted to install windows xp on a small partition just to use some applications
[05:44] <kkathman> bozza_ you certainly should try that
[05:44] <webpirate> In xine or Mplayer switch your video to XV instead of opengl
[05:44] <Jowi> how can I suggest a package to be included in universe repo?
[05:44] <strang3love> there is a config setting with compiz that relates to playing video
[05:44] <bozza_> how do i install new ati drivers though
[05:44] <nickrud> Jowi: ask on #ubuntu-motu
[05:44] <faileas> eon_: how about running it in a VM?
[05:44] <Jowi> cheers nickrud
[05:45] <bozza_> because i tried installing the ati drivers through restricted drivers
[05:45] <kkathman> bozza_  it seems to me it happens when I've left my browser open for a while - firefox is especially bad about eating mem
[05:45] <bozza_> well i just booted
[05:45] <webpirate> anyone know how to fix USB storage device problems?
[05:45] <Bender1337> I am going to get tmobile wireless internet (only high speed i can get). Only problem is i will need a computer to act as a server so internet can be accessed from any computer at any time i need to get a pci to pcmcia can this be done in linux?
[05:45] <eon_> faileas: sorry, i am a newbie...wht's a VM?
[05:45] <bozza_> is there a command to clear mem
[05:45] <faileas> eon_: virtual machine
[05:45] <webpirate> Did clean install an dit works....but after updates it fails..
[05:45] <kkathman> bozza_:  there are probably some downloadable things but I dont know of any offhand
[05:46] <Bender1337> ! vm
[05:46] <Bender1337> !vm
[05:46] <nickrud> Bender1337: why not just pick up a switch and plug that into the server. run dnsmasq on the server
[05:46] <backtick> hi all, the x server is not accpeting connections from the network. i did an $ nmap localhost and didn't find the x server port (6000?) open.. how can i enable it?
[05:46] <faileas> eon_: You run windows inside linux
[05:46] <eon_> faileas: do you know any link for a tutorial on the web...or can you help me with the process?
[05:46] <ubotu> There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu or !qvm86), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[05:46] <MrChicken> Hello
[05:46] <Ashfire908> how do i set up a computer to act like a gateway to a ppp connection
[05:46] <kkathman> hi MrChicken
[05:46] <MrChicken> can anybody help me set up a ldap server?
[05:46] <faileas> eon_: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_fawn_vmware_server_howto
[05:46] <newone> moin moin
[05:46] <nickrud> Ashfire908: ipmasq & dnsmasq
[05:46] <kkathman> !ldap | MrChicken
[05:46] <ubotu> MrChicken: LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information and installation instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer
[05:47] <MrChicken> oki
[05:47] <bozza_> kkathman: or if i put a window ontop of vlc
[05:47] <MrChicken> thnx
[05:47] <kkathman> yw
[05:47] <bozza_> there will be a black area
[05:47] <Ashfire908> nickrud can i have it so the computer that's acting like a gateway can still access both networks?
[05:47] <kkathman> bozza_:  hmm have you tried mplayer instead ??
[05:48] <bozza_> i have tried the movie player that comes with ubuntu
[05:48] <bozza_> same shit
[05:48] <begasus_> Bozza, disable beryl for the time your playing video/dvd ... works here with compiz
[05:48] <nickrud> Ashfire908: yes, but I'm a real simpleton with networking, that's why I used those packages: I didn't really have to learn much
[05:48] <bozza_> so i have to disable every time .. no way around it ?
[05:48] <eon_> faileas: ok...so once i get the VM how should I proceed?
[05:48] <kkathman> begasus_:  you'd better not beryl even on your system if you are running compiz
[05:48] <begasus_> don't think so ..
[05:48] <kkathman> compiz-fusion that is
[05:49] <begasus_> kkathman,  .. it's just the version that comes with ubuntu
[05:49] <faileas> eon_: create new vm, follow wizard. install windows in the VM as per normal
[05:49] <bozza_> i dont understand
[05:49] <faileas> i assume none of these apps are directx?
[05:49] <bozza_> it worked the first time
[05:49] <kkathman> begasus_:  well there is a diff between compiz, beryl and compiz-fusion
[05:49] <[nrx] > !compiz

[05:49] <begasus_> afaik it's been compiz here ...
[05:50] <eon_> faileas: is it that simple? =)
[05:50] <Ashfire908> nickrud where can i find help/how-tos/faqs for those packages?
[05:50] <nickrud> Ashfire908: there are really good docs in /usr/share/docs/ for each
[05:50] <faileas> eon_: to quote john sheridan, absafragginglutely
[05:50] <Ashfire908> nickrud ok
[05:50] <nickrud> Ashfire908: once they're installed of course :)
[05:51] <faileas> getting vmware running is the hard bit
[05:51] <begasus_> compiz-fusion isn't even listed in synaptics here kkathman
[05:51] <cratel_> I want to add an option to the boot line. I can edit menu.lst in /boot, but then my guess is it won't stick for kernel upgrades. Is there a better way?
[05:51] <bozza_> this is stupid
[05:51] <bozza_> when i use a video filter
[05:51] <bozza_> it works !! wtf
[05:52] <eon_> faileas: =p...i'm sorry but i downloaded it...but where is it?
[05:52] <kkathman> begasus_:  its a series of programs
[05:52] <faileas> eon_; desktop? ;p
[05:52] <faileas> /home/(username)?
[05:52] <kkathman> begasus_:  its not in standard repos either
[05:53] <bozza_> LOL now i have to find a plugin that doesnt fuck up th video 2 much !!!!!!
[05:53] <Msh100> Hello people, I'm trying to play a linux game, But I cant use the keyboard and mouse at the same time in game, I am running enemy territory, Any help ?

[05:53] <ubotu> bozza_: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:53] <eon_> faileas: but, there's nothing there...
[05:53] <bozza_> kkathman: i got it working .... kinda
[05:53] <kkathman> begasus_:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[05:53] <faileas> o0
[05:53] <faileas> did it download? ;p
[05:53] <bozza_> kkathman: my videos are playing .. but only through filters
[05:54] <kkathman> bozza_:  using what player?
[05:54] <Bozza> vlc
[05:54] <nickrud> cratel: there's a line in menu.lst called defoptions, you can put it there. That will be applied only to the default boot option, not recovery , etc.
[05:54] <Bozza> butt
[05:54] <Bozza> But
[05:54] <begasus_> kkathman, .. I don't see anything else there then the default compiz ..
[05:54] <Bozza> i have to go to filters
[05:54] <Bozza> and apply a filter .. what the hell ?
[05:54] <kkathman> begasus_:  I just said, you have to add repositories
[05:54] <eon_> faileas: yeah... I downloaded it
[05:54] <begasus_> when installing it through synaptics it install the dependecies also ...
[05:54] <Bozza> whats x11 output ??
[05:54] <Licinius_18924> hi
[05:54] <begasus_> it was installed by default here in feisty kkathman
[05:54] <Bozza> it works in x11 output !
[05:54] <faileas> eon: firefox?
[05:55] <begasus_> just needed to activate it
[05:55] <kkathman> Bozza:  you might install mplayer and try that - it seems to be better
[05:55] <tbaur> hi
[05:55] <eon_> faileas: yap
[05:55] <kkathman> begasus_:  no, compiz-fusion isnt installed by default in feisty
[05:55] <Msh100> Hello people, I'm trying to play a linux game, But I cant use the keyboard and mouse at the same time in game, I am running enemy territory, Any help ?
[05:55] <faileas> should be desktop then
[05:55] <Ashfire908> nickrud: what do i use dnsmasq for?
[05:55] <Licinius_18924> Ive a problem can someone help me please???????
[05:55] <Argazm> hi folks... is their a way to FIX the mplayer/mencoder problem in Ubuntu 7.04 that causes noise in the sound...???
[05:55] <tbaur> that's a secret
[05:55] <Licinius_18924> http://www.pennergame.de/ref.php?refid=4662751
[05:55] <Bozza> ok i will have a shot
[05:55] <kkathman> begasus_:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[05:55] <Bozza> but whats x11 output ??
[05:55] <nickrud> Ashfire908: it will provide dns and dhcp for your mini-network
[05:56] <Bozza> guys .. does anyone know what x11 ouput is in vlc
[05:56] <begasus_> kkathman,  maybe there is an iso with compiz in it by default?
[05:56] <Bozza> could some one be so kind to answer my question
[05:56] <Licinius_18924> PLease klick on this link it is a Online browser game very good  i neeed very much klicks for much points http://www.pennergame.de/ref.php?refid=4662751
[05:56] <Licinius_18924> http://www.pennergame.de/ref.php?refid=4662751
[05:56] <kkathman> begasus_:  not an official one
[05:56] <Ashfire908> nickrud: i don't need dhcp. doesn't forwaring the ip stuff take care of dns?
[05:56] <kkathman> begasus_:  however, if you DID install gutsy, thats possible since they plan to make compiz-fusion be standard IF
[05:57] <begasus_> hmm .... well didn't install it myself (beside the configuration pannel) ;)
[05:57] <Argazm> Bozza: xvideo is the one to use, x11 is the basic X video output... It'll work but looks real crappy
[05:57] <kkathman> IF = interface
[05:57] <begasus_> 7.04 ...
[05:57] <Bozza> how do i use x video Argazm ?
[05:57] <nickrud> Ashfire908: sure, you can do it by hand. dnsmasq just gives you options and control, its atool
[05:57] <kkathman> begasus_:  but if you are truly on 7.04/Feisty, compiz-fusion isnt default, because its not even in the standard repos (you have to add the amaranth repos or trevino ones)
[05:58] <Argazm> Bozza: goto video output and select it from the settings
[05:58] <begasus_> also didn't install extra repos ...
[05:58] <Bozza> ok thanks
[05:58] <kkathman> begasus_:  if you check out that page I pasted now twice to you, you'll see
[05:58] <Argazm> hi folks... is their a way to FIX the mplayer/mencoder problem in Ubuntu 7.04 that causes noise in the sound...???
[05:58] <begasus_> yeah kkathman .. it's not that I don't believe you ;)
[05:58] <eon_> faileas: i found the error...my error... i had just built the environment
[05:58] <faileas> lol
[05:59] <Bozza> Argazm: you are talking about vlc . .yes ?
[05:59] <eon_> faileas: now i'm downloading it
[05:59] <eon_> faileas: lol
[05:59] <angelica> ectospasm: the alst message may be "error unpacking something"
[05:59] <kkathman> begasus_:  hehe - no prob man.. lots of things happen..just that the standard Ubuntu/Kubuntu ISOs purposely left compiz-fusion out, cuz it wasnt near ready in July :)
[06:00] <faileas> eon_ : gonna go sleep now. that howto is likely to work tough
[06:00] <Argazm> Bozza: yep, goto Preferences -> Video 0> Output Module (make sure Advanced Settings is Ticked) -> Select X11 from drop-down menu and watch a movie
[06:00] <eon_> faileas: ok...thanks
[06:00] <begasus_> yeah .. still strange that it's installed here ..
[06:00] <Argazm> anyone know how to fix the mplayer/mencoder noise during playback/encoding ???
[06:01] <begasus_> maybe at one point it took it in when updating the system at first boot ...
[06:01] <steve_j>  <steve_j> hi all - is there a quick command to check how much disk space my distro is actually using?
[06:01] <steve_j>  <steve_j> hi all - is there a quick command to check how much disk space my distro is actually using?
[06:01] <steve_j> hi all - is there a quick command to check how much space my distro is taking? am using ubutnu server, so console only
[06:02] <defrysk> Argazm, get mencoder from http://www.debian-multimedia.org/
[06:02] <Mait> hi, I'm wondering when I change my disk partion status(with cfdisk), /dev filesystem don't show any changed status. Do I must reboot for to have correct /dev status?
[06:02] <dudeicles> can anyone here help me get my gamepads to work in xmame?
[06:02] <josh> steve_j: du -h /
[06:03] <Ongaku> lol now dont' laugh at me...I want to install a new font...is it just like installing a font in Windows?
[06:03] <dudeicles> for some reason teh buttons will work on both controllers I just can't get the d-pad to work.
[06:03] <Bozza> Argazm: nice it works .. but didnt you say x11 is shit ?
[06:03] <Bozza> do you have to watch in x11 when compiz is on ?
[06:03] <[nrx] > this upgrade seems to have knocked out my sounds for gaim ;o
[06:03] <nickrud> steve_j: du / --summarize --exclude /home/* should do that
[06:03] <Mait> Ongaku: almost same. just copy fonts file(usually .ttf file) to ~/.fonts directory
[06:04] <Ongaku> ah ok it has to be .ttf then?
[06:04] <Bozza> so whats x11
[06:04] <Mait> Ongaku: Maybe I think.
[06:04] <Ongaku> ah okies thx :)
[06:04] <nickrud> Ongaku: for that dir, yes
[06:05] <Ongaku> ahh alright...I think this font I have is .ttf
[06:05] <Mait> Ongaku: .ttc also ok
[06:05] <Ongaku> ok
[06:05] <steve_j> nickrud: thanks v much. don't suppose you can recommend a good xwindow package so i can manage bits of my server visually?
[06:05] <nickrud> and what's that free extentsion ...
[06:05] <Ongaku> thx for not being mean to me :P
[06:05] <nickrud> steve_j: locally?
[06:05] <Mait> hi, I'm wondering when I change my disk partion status(with cfdisk), /dev filesystem don't show any changed status. Do I must reboot for to have correct /dev status?
[06:05] <Vegar> in the gutsy gibbon installer, under advanced options, there's a checkbox: "Install Bootloader". Does that equal to install bootloader in MBR?
[06:05] <nickrud> Ongaku: this is #ubuntu, family friendly :)
[06:05] <Bozza> is x11 done by software ?
[06:06] <Bozza> by the cpu or gpu ?
[06:06] <Ongaku> heh my boyfriend went on here and they all gave him shit
[06:06] <Mait> Vegar: (hd0) ?
[06:06] <nickrud> Bozza: software manipulating the gpu
[06:06] <Bozza> is it good though ?
[06:06] <Vegar> Mait: yes
[06:06] <Vegar> Mait: should I uncheck it if I want to leave the MBR alone?
[06:06] <nickrud> Bozza: what do you mean good enough?
[06:07] <Bozza> i mean .. is it as good as standard output on vlc
[06:07] <steve_j> nickrud: yeah
[06:07] <Mait> Vegar: Yes, maybe. (hd0) means MBR(entire disk....)
[06:07] <Vegar> Mait: ok, I'll try asking in #ubuntu+1
[06:07] <nickrud> Bozza: ah, that context:  it can work nicely. Take a look at it
[06:07] <Ongaku> ok lol...how should I type the font directory in here? I'm not sure
[06:08] <SNaKe07> i have a problem with the ethernet adapter, someone can help me?
[06:08] <Bozza> nickrud: hahah you dont sound convinced .. by "it can work" ...
[06:08] <nickrud> steve_j: sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg  fluxbox fbdesk fbpager fluxconf , that's a nice small X
[06:08] <Bozza> nickrud are you running videos in x11
[06:08] <Mait> Ongaku: Pardon me?
[06:08] <Ongaku> the font directory
[06:08] <cratel_> is there a gnome applet to show drive activity?
[06:08] <nickrud> Bozza: xv is preferred, but x11 is a good fallback. And yes I have, on cheap cards
[06:08] <Ongaku> where is it located
[06:09] <Mait> Ongaku: ~/.fonts
[06:09] <nickrud> Ongaku: you'll probably need to create it ,  mkdir /home/<you>/.fonts
[06:09] <Mait> Ongaku: ~ means your home directory
[06:09] <Bozza> so i would need to run x11 with compiz on an old gfx card like radeon 9600 ?
[06:09] <Ongaku> ah
[06:09] <steve_j> nickrud: thanks. is aptitude like a better apt-get?
[06:10] <nickrud> steve_j: they both have their strengths, it's really a matter of taste
[06:10] <[DCH] Bret> Do nVidia drivers work in Ubuntu?
[06:10] <Bozza> i have radeon 9600 .. is that why only x11 works with compiz
[06:10] <Ongaku> i have to create it?
[06:10] <dudeicles> [DCH] Bret: My nvidia geforece FX5200 works in Ubuntu
[06:10] <Mait> Ongaku: It's a hidden place(strat with dot(.).
[06:10] <nickrud> steve_j: aptitude has some extra useful switches you can use, but they're not needed much.
[06:10] <[DCH] Bret> mine is a 7600GS
[06:11] <Ongaku> oh...so how do i create it then again?
[06:11] <Mait> Ongaku: What is your tool? command line? or nautilus ?
[06:11] <steve_j> nickrud: thanks v much
[06:11] <Ongaku> nautilus
[06:11] <nickrud> Bozza: probably not, but movies & compiz don't mix well at all. That's probably the issue
[06:11] <[DCH] Bret> Will my onboard sound work straight off with ubuntu?
[06:11] <Mait> Ongaku: Use right mouse click
[06:12] <Mait> Ongaku: It will show 'show hidden blahblah...'
[06:12] <nickrud> [DCH] Bret: highly likely it will, but you might need to add a couple of options on newer ones
[06:12] <ambrose_> has any 1 installed enlightment on ubuntu
[06:12] <Ongaku> on the dektop or in the file system folder?
[06:12] <ambrose_> if so u can kinda tell its not that stable
[06:12] <Ongaku> it doesn't say that
[06:12] <[DCH] Bret> It's a pretty new mobo. Gigabyte DS3 blah. Should work
[06:12] <Mait> Ongaku: In your home folder
[06:12] <Ongaku> oh
[06:13] <Mait> Ongaku: Search your menu for 'show hiden blahblah...'
[06:13] <nickrud> ambrose_: enlightenment has been alpha software for years ;)
[06:13] <Ongaku> oh.....LOL
[06:13] <dudeicles> [DCH] Bret: are you using Windows right now?
[06:13] <Mait> Ongaku: then you'll find .fonts directory
[06:13] <Ongaku> they already shown...my bf just told me the dot files are the hien ones
[06:13] <ambrose_> nick wassup man

[06:14] <Ongaku> theres no fonts folder theres a .fontsconfig one
[06:14] <Mait> Ongaku: If .fonts directory doesn't exist, just create it.
[06:14] <nickrud> ambrose_: no, not since breezy I think
[06:14] <ambrose_> haha
[06:14] <Ongaku> how do i do that? lol
[06:14] <Mait> Ongaku: ' .fonts '

[06:14] <Ongaku> ok but how is that done lol just make new folder?
[06:14] <nickrud> yup

[06:20] <MrStein> Hi! Anyone knows hot to change profile data on wiki.ubuntu.com ? I want to change my email.
[06:20] <KrustFRG> has anyone installed Open-Xchange on Ubuntu
[06:20] <kkathman> begasus_:  Basically, beryl was a fork of compiz, and they have merged back together with a new product, compiz-fusion. Beryl will not be supported in the future.
[06:20] <nickrud> rapid: don't know, I've never had dhclient run on an net interface I defined statically in /etc/network/interfaces
[06:21] <rapid> np
[06:21] <begasus_> yeah heard something 'bout beryl not being developed anymore ... (or likely)
[06:21] <KrustFRG> I keep getting an error while trying to install, I'm not asking for anyone to help install. All I would like to know how do you connect to a CSV server through CLI
[06:21] <nickrud> begasus_: be thankful :)
[06:21] <Ongaku> ook...I made the .fonts folder in my home folder...put the font in and it doesn't work
[06:21] <begasus_> :P
[06:22] <begasus_> I ran it earlier on a Debian install ... wasn't that bad imho
[06:22] <nickrud> Ongaku: try opening system->prefs->fonts, that should reread the font cache

[06:22] <begasus_> so I should be looking out for compiz-fusion instead of compiz?
[06:23] <Ongaku> yeah i was in this to change my font for everything...but it shows my font folder as fonts:///
[06:23] <begasus_> ps .. the configuration pannel like Emerald will that work also?
[06:23] <benzss> hi, can anyone help me with this potential WPA problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=551467
[06:23] <nickrud> Ongaku: that's reading all the fonts on the system, it includes ~/.fonts and /usr/share/fonts
[06:23] <xeer_> when loading feisty, it stops at NetworkManager step 5. i have to switch to a new console and login manually, and then "startx" to get into my GUI.. why is it doing this?
[06:23] <Ongaku> ohhh
[06:23] <KrustFRG> yes Cast
[06:23] <Ongaku> lol >.<
[06:24] <Ongaku> YAY! It worked lol
[06:24] <Ongaku> better than Windows...normally I have to restart to get new fonts working
[06:24] <Mait> Ongaku: : )
[06:24] <chairman> can I ask questions regarding gutsy here? or is there another channel?
[06:25] <nickrud> Ongaku: about the only time you need to reboot is when you do something at the hardware level, and often not even then :)
[06:25] <Ongaku> sweet thx..now I can start making my custom theme
[06:25] <nickrud> chairman: #ubuntu+1
[06:25] <chairman> nickrud: tnx
[06:25] <Ongaku> oh will the font show up in GIMP?
[06:25] <nickrud> begasus_: yes, it's very nice by the way. check out #compiz-fusion for all the fun :)
[06:26] <begasus_> will do (later nickrud ) ;)
[06:26] <Mait> Ongaku: As I feel with linux world... they loves 'on the fly' :-)
[06:26] <Ongaku> hehe
[06:26] <nickrud> Ongaku: everywhere, now
[06:26] <Ongaku> cool
[06:26] <cast> nickrud: kernel/hypervisor updates
[06:26] <Ongaku> i absolutley love the hell out of this :D
[06:26] <Ongaku> so much cooler than Windows
[06:27] <nickrud> cast?
[06:27] <cast> nickrud: the need to reboot, kernel security updates
[06:28] <Ongaku> thx nickrud :)
[06:28] <nickrud> cast: yes, kernel works at the hardware level
[06:28] <Mait> hi, I'm wondering when I change my disk partion status(with cfdisk), /dev filesystem don't show any changed status. Do I must reboot for to have correct /dev status?
[06:28] <steve_j> nickrud: sorry to bother again. what  ls switches would let me recursively search for a particular file and then display the full path to that file (so i can find it and symlink it) righ tnow am using ls /* -R | grep mongrel_rails which shows mongrel_rails exists, but not where
[06:29] <provinzroquer> hi!
[06:29] <nickrud> steve_j: easiest way is locate mongrel_rails ; if it doesn't show up, do sudo updatedb and then locate again
[06:30] <steve_j> nickrud: cheers
[06:30] <IgorSobreira> hi all..how can i chage my encoding? i saw in fedora the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n ....but i dont have it my Ubuntu Edgy..how can i chage it?
[06:30] <provinzroquer> I have a problem when kopete is running: Alt+Tab kicks me to the KDE-Login-Screen.
[06:30] <pero> hi
[06:30] <nickrud> IgorSobreira: system->admin->language support
[06:30] <bullgard4> Is 'IA-PCbased system' another name for 'IBM PC' or not?
[06:31] <cast> steve_j: use find instead of ls|grep.
[06:31] <Mait> steve_j: which mongrel_rails
[06:31] <jebblue_> it connected me to ubuntu channel on both FreeNode server and Ubuntu Server - is this the same thing?
[06:32] <nickrud> bullgard4: intel architecture pc ??
[06:32] <pero> hola
[06:32] <cratel_> is there a gnome applet to show drive activity?
[06:32] <Flannel> jebblue_: They are one and the same
[06:32] <[nrx] > folks, i've just tried to update from dapper to edgy.. the apt-get dist-upgrade went fine.. then I was using the update manager and it failed at around 38%... I've rebooted and I now have errors with lots of things, including X not starting.
[06:33] <jebblue> cool thanks i saw that show up in both
[06:33] <nickrud> cratel: system monitor, it has a disk monitor you can turn on
[06:33] <[DCH] Bret> Bah 17 minutes until Ubuntu has downloaded
[06:34] <bullgard4> nickrud: Let me re-formulate my question: Is the term 'Intel Architecture-PC-based system' another name for 'IBM-PC' or not?
[06:34] <benzss> hi, can anyone help me with this potential WPA problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=551467
[06:34] <steve_j> will apt-get update basically automatically update every package on my system that isn't current?
[06:34] <[DCH] Bret> bullgard4, i doubt it
[06:34] <bobgill> What can I use to make an ISO out of a CD?
[06:34] <Flannel> [nrx] : You dist-upgraded, what did you do with update-manager?
[06:34] <cast> steve_j: nope. itll update its local pkg list.
[06:34] <[DCH] Bret> bullgard4, i think it just means it's an Intel processor inside the PC.
[06:35] <nickrud> bullgard4: ibm-pc is an obsolete term, but means essentially the same thing
[06:35] <steve_j> cast: thanks. how would it make it update, say, ruby
[06:35] <steve_j> apt-get update ruby errors out
[06:35] <cast> steve_j: man apt-get
[06:35] <[nrx] > Flannel, it was sitting in the notification area saying there were 1044 packages that needed updating... so, I clicked on update. It started doing it's thing and about 30-45 imnutes into it (38%) there was an error saying it couldn't commit things. After that, it said update was complete and I rebooted.
[06:36] <`EJ> \\'elcome ack bigfuzzyjesus
[06:36] <[nrx] > Flannel, now, when I try and boot, i see that it fails on "loading hardware drivers" it gets to a point where it should fire up X and all I get is what looks like a test screen (all the colours in different shapes with numbers around and a progress bar in the middle) and it stops.. goes to a blank screen with a flashing cursor
[06:36] <Flannel> [nrx] : I'm wondering if that was trying to get you to upgrade to feisty.  Whats your sources.list look like now?
[06:36] <Flannel> [nrx] : ctrl-alt-f1 will get you to a terminal
[06:37] <nickrud> cast: apt-get upgrade will upgrade any packages you have installed , if there's a ruby newer than the one you have already it'll get pulled in automatically
[06:37] <[nrx] > Flannel, I can break out by hitting ctrl + alt + f1 and I get "/dev/null/ : permission denied about 30 times then if i hit ctrl + c I get a bash login prompt
[06:37] <cast> nickrud: i use aptitude :)
[06:37] <[nrx] > Flannel, sources.list was all set to edgy, i was going from dapper
[06:37] <Flannel> [nrx] : nice.  Well, lets login and look around.  Check your sources.list to see if its still edgy, or if its feisty.
[06:38] <nickrud> cast: myself also, mostly interactively. Love those keystrokes ;)
[06:38] <[nrx] > flannel, it's edgy.
[06:38] <Flannel> [nrx] : did you check? or are you assuming?
[06:38] <[nrx] > Flannel, problem now is that I don't have a connection on it :/
[06:38] <[nrx] > Flannel, I've checked.. the sources.list is all edgy
[06:38] <nickrud> cast: erm, that was for steve_j anyway, who's gone ;(
[06:38] <[DCH] Bret> 12 minutes until my very first experience with linux.. I'm scared ^^
[06:39] <Flannel> [nrx] : why don't you have a connection now?  The 1044 updates after the upgrade is odd.  When you upgraded, it should have fetched current packages.  Unless you did it from the alternate CD
[06:39] <rediz_> how do i open synaptic
[06:39] <nickrud> [DCH] Bret: be afraid, very afraid, freedom can be awesome :)
[06:39] <rediz_> to install kfreeflight
[06:39] <[nrx] > Flannel, it hasn't loaded the hardware drivers so I can't get wifi up
[06:39] <un_dave> hey, just wondering if someone can help me. in a bit of a pickle. just turned on xinerama on my system, now cant open the terminal
[06:39] <[DCH] Bret> so i hear :p
[06:39] <SlimeyPete> !synaptic
[06:39] <fermatstheorem> [DCH] Bret: hello there. just keep an open mind. after sometime you will be cruisin' along the free (as in freedom)way
[06:39] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[06:39] <[nrx] > Flannel, the 1044 updates appeard after I did "apt-get dist-upgrade"
[06:40] <un_dave> googled it, and its a know bug... but how do i turn off xinerama without using the terminal?
[06:40] <fermatstheorem> rediz_: system->adminstration->synaptic
[06:40] <jebblue> let freedom ring
[06:40] <Flannel> [nrx] : right.  And that seems extremely odd, because the dist-upgrade should have given you an upgraded system.
[06:40] <Flannel> [nrx] : ethernet?
[06:40] <fermatstheorem> un_dave: you need to mention it in xorg.conf
[06:40] <[nrx] > Flannel, i can try, give me a few minutes?
[06:40] <un_dave> fermatstheorem: yep, but i cant access the file
[06:40] <Flannel> [nrx] : Yep. No hurry.
[06:41] <KrustFRG> How can I install SSH on Ubuntu
[06:41] <fermatstheorem> un_dave: sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[06:41] <Flannel> KrustFRG: install the openssh-server package
[06:41] <un_dave> i was using sudo before, but how can i do it without terminal
[06:41] <un_dave> fermatstheorem: ah, cool
[06:41] <un_dave> thanks!
[06:41] <fermatstheorem> un_dave: you are welcome
[06:41] <eon_> does anyone know how to install vmware?
[06:41] <jebblue> synaptic search for ssh
[06:41] <KrustFRG> thanks
[06:41] <IgorSobreira> hi all..i hava a strange error trying to open my "gnome-language-selector" :http://paste.uni.cc/17121
[06:41] <IgorSobreira> how can i get this module?
[06:41] <nickrud> un_dave: you can do the editing in the terminal at alt-ctl-f1
[06:41] <rediz_> can i use syaptic to install k freeflight
[06:42] <fermatstheorem> rediz_: you can search fro it there and install it if available
[06:42] <[nrx] > Flannel, i don't have enough patch cables :/
[06:42] <nickrud> rediz_: system-admin-synaptic , ctl-f freeflight
[06:42] <robert_> hm
[06:42] <robert_> how do I pass --list to ld.so? :o
[06:42] <[nrx] > Flannel, I do have the original install CD that I downloaded 3-4 days ago though
[06:43] <Flannel> [nrx] : the dapper CD?
[06:43] <dirtyhand> anyone know an svn command to import into a rep and deleting everythign that was previously there
[06:43] <jebblue> eon_ download vmware server for free or player for free there are reasons to run one or the other - the vmware forums have people who run ubuntu too - im running vmware server right now
[06:43] <Flannel> [nrx] : You're upgrading to Edgy, to get to feisty, right?
[06:43] <[nrx] > well, I downloaded it from the ubuntu site only like 4 days ago, so I'd have thought it should be fiesty, but I reckon because I uncommented all the lines in sources.list and it said dapper, it went to dapper
[06:43] <[nrx] > Flannel, that was the idea, yeah
[06:43] <Flannel> dirtyhand: you'll have to check out a local copy, then delete all the files there, and add the ones you want, then commit.
[06:44] <Absenth> anyone know if the bcm43xx module is "fixed" in 7.10?
[06:44] <Flannel> [nrx] : Why don't you just download a Feisty CD, and install fresh?  Save yourself the hassle of figuring this out, and then downloading hundreds of megabytes more of upgrades, just start from Feisty.
[06:44] <eon_> jebbblue: i've already downloaded it...but i can't install it...
[06:44] <jebblue> eon_ ok whats the error
[06:44] <pretts> hi! After I installed compiz many applications I start popup at the top left side of the screen with their title bar hiden under the "gnome pannel" (not sure it's called like that) and I have to alt+Rclick and move them. Any Ideas what causes that?
[06:44] <[nrx] > Flannel, when you download the iso, is the sources.list file already set as fiesty? I don't understand why the sources.list I ended up with was for dapper
[06:44] <IgorSobreira> hi all..i hava a strange error trying to open my "gnome-language-selector" :http://paste.uni.cc/17121
[06:45] <rediz_> its not on there
[06:45] <rediz_> any ideas
[06:45] <Absenth> pretts: is xorg set for 24bit color?  if not, that'll cause that problem.
[06:45] <fermatstheorem> pretts: check the window placement vaiable in gconf-editor apps->compiz
[06:45] <IgorSobreira> i dont have the module LanguageSelector...how can i get it?
[06:45] <eon_> jebblue: on this link http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_fawn_vmware_server_howto
[06:45] <Mthed> What's the difference between su and sudo?
[06:45] <Flannel> [nrx] : Because you downloaded the dapper iso (apparently), you want to download the feisty iso, and it'll install feisty on your box
[06:45] <jon_> how do i get an atheros wireless card working?
[06:45] <[DCH] Bret> IgorSobreira, is that Gobinu?
[06:45] <eon_> jebblue: i followed the install notes but the terminal says that
[06:45] <Absenth> jon_: atheros should work with no changes.....
[06:46] <cratel_> is there a gnome applet to show drive activity?
[06:46] <IgorSobreira> [DCH] Bret, O_o...its Ubuntu Edgy....
[06:46] <[nrx] > Flannel, just so I don't feel stupid, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloading?release=desktop-newest&arch=i386&mirror=http%3A%2F%2Fmirror.ox.ac.uk%2Fsites%2Freleases.ubuntu.com%2Freleases%2F&debug=%5B%27country_US%27%2C+%27country_UK%27%2C+%27continent_NA%27%5D&download-button=

[06:46] <jon_> the model is ar5007eg
[06:46] <[DCH] Bret> No, are you called Gobinu on games?
[06:46] <jebblue> eon_ ok which one
[06:46] <Flannel> [nrx] : right, that's the feisty desktop (liveCD) CD.

[06:46] <pretts> Absenth, yes it's 24 though I manually edited the resolution to 1280x800 which is screens native
[06:46] <acecase> what happened to the "always use this..." or whatever in the open with dialog?
[06:46] <[nrx] > that's what I had downloaded already :o

[06:47] <eon_> jebblue: but it's there...on the folder
[06:47] <Absenth> pretts: that's the only trouble I've had with compiz on my notebook.....  at least once I got the blob nvidia driver working.
[06:47] <nickrud> IgorSobreira: try sudo aptitude reinstall language-selector language-selector-common
[06:47] <Flannel> [nrx] : That... somehow doesn't seem likely.  You most likely downloaded the 6.06 CD instead.  If not, then this mirror is wonky
[06:47] <IgorSobreira> ok
[06:47] <eon_> jebblue: it has a symbol next to it...a lock
[06:47] <eon_> jebblue: does it mean something
[06:47] <jon_> i have ndiswrapper and the driver installed but no wireless network
[06:48] <acecase> better yet, what can I use now to change my default audio and video apps? Tried update-alternatice {audio/video} and they don't seem to be valid
[06:48] <nickrud> IgorSobreira: no promises, just a possibility :)
[06:48] <jebblue> eon_ hang on a sec let me check something
[06:48] <IgorSobreira> yep...im trying...
[06:48] <pretts> Absenth, I have ati :( so I guess it's even worse :D
[06:48] <[nrx] > ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso
[06:48] <Absenth> jon_: your system may be different but Atheros is one of the few cards that there are seriously good FOSS drivers for.  I've not ever had to use ndiswrapper.
[06:48] <nickrud> ace_suares: right click a media file, select properties, and then the open with tab
[06:48] <[nrx] > i'll reburn it and start again I guess
[06:48] <nickrud> erm, acecase ^^
[06:49] <acecase> nickrud: thanks. that is too simple :)
[06:49] <jon_> absenth i dont think the model i have is supported yet

[06:51] <rocunreal> Can anyone help me with wine? it seems to think it is updated but its an older version
[06:51] <eon_> jebblue: i was going to use it to install windows
[06:52] <jon_> how come when i try to use gedit i get this: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 171
[06:52] <rocunreal> i listen to the intructions on wines website and it doesn't update wine
[06:52] <rediz_> wots best flight sim for ubuntu. got kfreeflight but wont install.some said look in synaptic, but its not on there
[06:52] <rocunreal> im using like version 4.3
[06:52] <rocunreal> i think let me check
[06:52] <jebblue> eon_ you shoudl be able to download the vmware installer, run it int he terminal, it will ask if it should run the config for you whic
[06:52] <jvalencia> hi
[06:52] <jebblue> eon_ is vmware-config.pl
[06:52] <SlimeyPete> jon_: does it stop gedit from loading? If not then it's probably due to the lack of a synaptics touchpad and you can ignore it.
[06:53] <jebblue> eon_ you will likely get an odd error when it goes to build
[06:53] <eon_> jebblue: do you know any other of installing windows after ubuntu feisty fawn...
[06:53] <supernerd> is there a command that would list all of the software available for a certain repo?
[06:53] <jon_> slimeypete yes
[06:53] <rocunreal> im on wine Version 0.9.43
[06:53] <eon_> jebblue: the error is...that he says the file doesn't exist

[06:54] <rocunreal> i guess this isn't a place to go for help ^^
[06:54] <Flannel> supernerd: You could, but it's probably just easier to view the Releases file on repos itself.
[06:54] <pavolzetor> hello i reinstall ubuntu (formate ext3 to ext3) and i need some data from formated and installed partition

[06:55] <jebblue> eon_ ps spend $30 and get acronis' TrueImage it will rip a perfect copy of your Windows installation - set up vmware in Ubuntu, reate a blank vm, then run the TrueImage installer to "restore" the Windows image
[06:55] <fermatstheorem> pavolzetor: you need data back from a formatted parition?
[06:55] <pavolzetor> yes
[06:55] <jebblue> eon_ Windowss will boot and "thinkl" it is running on real hardware

[06:55] <eon_> jebblue: no other way to have the dual-boot
[06:55] <eon_> jebblue: ?
[06:55] <fermatstheorem> pavolzetor: you cannot get it unless you try some commercial hard drive recovery software
[06:55] <begasus> so installing compiz-fusion wasn't what I expected it to be at first try ...
[06:56] <supernerd> Flannel: how could i get that release file?
[06:56] <pretts> fermatstheorem, can't find such a variable :(
[06:56] <jebblue> eon_ there are many many confs possible, spend a few hours and read some of the Ubuntu and Vmware forums it will answer a lot of questions
[06:56] <pavolzetor> how software? whot is name?
[06:56] <pavolzetor> what
[06:56] <fermatstheorem> pretts: the xinerama?
[06:56] <d|v> is automatix down?
[06:56] <eon_> jebblue: ok thanks =)
[06:56] <nickrud> please say it's gone
[06:56] <rocunreal> Can anyone take on my Question?
[06:56] <Matir> can anyone recommend a good tool for basic photo editing?  just cropping, slight retouch?
[06:56] <[nrx] > Flannel, thanks for your help.. I'll prolly be back soon
[06:56] <[nrx] > :)
[06:57] <rocunreal> Gimp
[06:57] <jebblue> eon_ welcome remember if nothing else 0 buy Acronis TrueImage (no i dont work for them) you will thank yourself a million times later
[06:57] <d|v> can anybody send me the automatix2 deb
[06:57] <pretts> fermatstheorem, no the window placement
[06:57] <cast> Matir: go the gimp.
[06:57] <nickrud> rocunreal: put a copy of your /etc/apt/sources.list on a pastebin (gedit /etc/apt/sources.list will open it in read only)
[06:57] <Flannel> supernerd: sorry, Packages, not release, but: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  Is one (for 386, feisty).  Just go to your archive in your web browser and navigate from there.
[06:57] <pretts> fermatstheorem, in gconf-edit
[06:57] <rocunreal> USE GIMP
[06:57] <sandy|lurk> hey all...does anyone know if Compiz is enabled by default on the Live CD for ATI cards in the latest Gutsy dailies?  I'm running low on blank CDs and thought I'd ask before I tried :-)
[06:57] <Flannel> !automatix | d|v
[06:57] <ubotu> d|v: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[06:57] <Flannel> sandy|lurk: #ubuntu+1 will be able to tell you
[06:57] <rocunreal> IS this a Place to go to if i need help with WINE?
[06:57] <sandy|lurk> Flannel: thanks!
[06:58] <fermatstheorem> pretts: which one, xinerama or window placement?
[06:58] <Flannel> rocunreal: You could.  #winehq might be a better place
[06:58] <nickrud> rocunreal: see my previous post
[06:58] <d|v> im talking the webistie its down
[06:58] <rocunreal> idk how to get there
[06:58] <Matir> how can i tell GIMP to crop by 4x6 or 5x7 or similar?
[06:58] <d|v> getautomatix.com
[06:58] <pretts> fermatstheorem, window placement in compiz
[06:58] <jrib> d|v: read what ubotu said
[06:58] <rocunreal> ive been to there website tho
[06:58] <Flannel> d|v: You don't want to use automatix.  So it doesn't matter.
[06:58] <d|v> why not
[06:58] <bruenig> d|v, ubotu just told you
[06:59] <Flannel> d|v: because it breaks systems.
[06:59] <cast> Matir: make a new canvas, specify the size, paste into it
[06:59] <d|v> its not gonna break my system
[06:59] <nickrud> Matir: you can tell gimp to crop by inches if you like
[06:59] <jrib> d|v: why do you think you need automatix?
[06:59] <blackhole> Hi, i want to download a package and then want to debug it So what i want is to use apt-get to download source and compile so i use gdb to debug it, is it possible?
[06:59] <fermatstheorem> pretts: sorry. i think i misguided you. fyi,beryl has that option. you might want to check it in the compiz-fusion channel or raise bug repor twith them. apologies
[06:59] <d|v> i want the codecs
[06:59] <d|v> that ubuntu won't install
[06:59] <jrib> !restricted > d|v (read the private message from ubotu)
[06:59] <urilockz_> my wine has messed up, is there a terminal command to reinstall software, or maybe just remove it?
[06:59] <Matir> k, i'll try
[07:00] <xeer_> when loading feisty, it stops at NetworkManager step 5. i have to switch to a new console and login manually, and then "startx" to get into my GUI.. why is it doing this?
[07:00] <d|v> ok
[07:00] <nickrud> urilockz_: sudo aptitude reinstall
[07:00] <urilockz_> thanks
[07:00] <nickrud> urilockz_: or remove
[07:00] <franz> im trying to install amavis-new, and it's saying that my $myhostname is wrong. And to fix that, I should either change that or fix uname
[07:00] <bruenig> xeer_, just stop network manager from loading at boot, you should be fine
[07:00] <pretts> fermatstheorem, ok no problem thanx alot :)
[07:00] <franz> however, im pretty sure that my $myhostname is correct...so how do i fix uname?
[07:00] <nickrud> !hostname | franz
[07:00] <ubotu> franz: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab
[07:00] <urilockz_> i tried apt-get, is that where i went wrong?
[07:00] <jebblue> urilockz_ you can rename .wine to someting else that way anything important like config files you might be able to just copy over after re-installing
[07:00] <NMajik> Is there away to change sessions from terminal?
[07:00] <rocunreal> I wish somebody could help me with Wine
[07:00] <xeer_> bruenig: i'm not sure how it got set to load at boot.. where is the configuration located?
[07:01] <rocunreal> O_O
[07:01] <rocunreal> i need help with wine
[07:01] <bruenig> xeer_, ubuntu does it for you hooray!!, its a daemon in /etc/init.d, I forget how to control it, update-rc.d or something like that
[07:01] <urilockz_> go to \winehq
[07:01] <rocunreal> person on person help...
[07:01] <rocunreal> i already havee
[07:01] <urilockz_> #winehq *
[07:01] <nickrud> rocunreal: if you won't provide the info you're asked for, no one can
[07:01] <jrib> rocunreal: no one can help you if you do not ask a question
[07:01] <rocunreal> ^^
[07:01] <jebblue> Mondavi is a good brand
[07:01] <rocunreal> okay
[07:01] <rocunreal> ill try that
[07:01] <stalker_> hi guys - probably stupid question, but how can i always have latest packages (e.g. i dont want program X v 1.1, i want program X 1.2b)?
[07:01] <blackhole> Hi, i want to download a package and then want to debug it So what i want is to use apt-get to download source and compile so i use gdb to debug it, is it possible?
[07:01] <jrib> !enter | rocunreal
[07:01] <ubotu> rocunreal: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:01] <franz> nickurd, thanks. you've verified that my $myhostname is correct..and that uname(3) is wrong and should be fixed....but how can i fix it?
[07:01] <bruenig> xeer_, you can just delete the symlinks in the /etc/rc.# directory
[07:02] <ompaul> !timebasedreleases | stalker_
[07:02] <ubotu> stalker_: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases
[07:02] <Flannel> stalker_: Ubuntu doesn't do that.  Ubuntu has frozen versions per release (1.1 will always be 1.1, plus bux fixes).  If you want that, you should maybe think about debian.
[07:02] <bruenig> or arch
[07:02] <nickrud> franz: uname reads the hostname from the system; make sure that /etc/hostname has what you want, that /etc/hosts has that hostname on the same line as 127.0.0.1 , don't add a domain to either, then run sudo /etc/init.d/hostname.sh
[07:02] <stalker_> ok, thank you, that's what i was interested
[07:03] <cemoi> salut
[07:03] <xeer_> bruenig: seems i have many rc.# directories, which one am i to choose?
[07:03] <bruenig> xeer_, delete it from all of them
[07:03] <cemoi> je voudrai ajouter des droit de lecture/ecriture sur un repertoire particulier  un utilisateur
[07:03] <franz> nickrud, thanks. i'll try :)
[07:03] <ompaul> xeer_, use a program called "rcconf"
[07:03] <jrib> !fr | cemoi
[07:03] <ubotu> cemoi: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[07:04] <cemoi> ...sorry
[07:04] <cereal> i'm recompiling the kernel on an amd opteron 170, and every time it locks up near some selinux files, has anyone had issues like this before or heard of the or know what might be wrong here?
[07:04] <ompaul> xeer_, it manages the rc* directories and their source /etc/init.d/
[07:04] <fermatstheorem> cereal: i have enable dselinxu in my custom kernel. when you say locked up, does it throw errors andstop compiling or it simply hangs there
[07:05] <xeer_> ompaul, bruenig: would it be listed as dnsmasq?
[07:05] <cereal> fermatstheorem: hangs - ssh sessions time out, stops pinging, responding, everything
[07:05] <bruenig> xeer_, should be NetworkManager unless they (ubuntu packagers) renamed it
[07:05] <fermatstheorem> cereal: are you donig a remote login and compiling stuff?
[07:05] <cereal> fermatstheorem: both local and remote have the same issues
[07:05] <xeer_> bruenig: yes, i'm not seeing that as an entry
[07:06] <ptn107> has anyone had problems with wireless after upgrading to kernel 2.6.22-11 ?
[07:06] <fermatstheorem> cereal: remote logins might timeout as the processor is under heavy load, local logins shouldn't matter
[07:06] <jebblue> test
[07:06] <bruenig> ptn107, are your drivers in the default kernel tree or are they supplementary
[07:06] <fermatstheorem> cereal: i know for sure that the kernel code does not have problems in selinux. mine is running just fine
[07:06] <cereal> fermatstheorem: agreed - but it completely stops responding to the tty's and i've let it sit for 30 minutes and no change at all on the display or anything
[07:07] <blackhole> Hi, i want to download a package and then want to debug it So what i want is to use apt-get to download source and compile so i use gdb to debug it, is it possible?
[07:07] <cereal> fermatstheorem: yea i doubt its the kernel but i'm not sure what it could be
[07:07] <franz> nickrud, both my /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts are now correct, and i've ran /etc/init.d/hostname.sh ...but im still getting the same error
[07:07] <donferna> blackgoth, yea
[07:07] <ptn107> bruenig: its just a wireless usb adapter that works when i plug it in, but since the kernel upgrade its been hit or miss (im assuming in the kernel??)
[07:07] <nickrud> franz: is the package you're installing from the repos?
[07:07] <franz> nickrud, yes
[07:07] <fermatstheorem> cereal: did you check the logs for some problem, you migh want to renice the make job to a lower priority for logins
[07:08] <jacki1> Hi All!!! Is it possible to import music from another computer with rthythmbox (daap) ?
[07:08] <bruenig> ptn107, that question needs to be answered for sure before you can move on. If it is not in the default kernel tree, it has to be recompiled each kernel upgrade
[07:08] <jrib> !debug > blackhole (read the private message from ubotu)
[07:08] <jrib> !source > blackhole (read the private message from ubotu)
[07:08] <franz> nickrud, how does amavis-new uses uname to get the fqdn...i'll try running uname to see if it returns the correct fqdn
[07:08] <ptn107> bruenig: i think its in the kernel, because it works with 2.6.20-15 and 2.6.20-16 without any fiddling
[07:08] <Tex-Twil> Hello
[07:08] <bruenig> ptn107, well ubuntu has restricted modules
[07:09] <nickrud> franz: if /etc/hostname and uname -n are the same ..
[07:09] <franz> nickrud, thanks. i'll check :)
[07:09] <[nrx] > Flannel, you still there?
[07:10] <ptn107> bruenig: i have    linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-11-generic installed
[07:10] <Tex-Twil> How can I disable a password in Ubuntu ?
[07:10] <franz> nickrud, odd. uname -n is the same as my /etc/hostname ( and has an entry in /etc/hosts )
[07:10] <kkathman> Tex-Twil:  which password?
[07:10] <kkathman> Tex-Twil:  and why would you want to?
[07:10] <nickrud> franz: then I'm not sure why. I've never tried to set that up.
[07:10] <Tex-Twil> of my account
[07:11] <kkathman> Tex-Twil: you type it in once when you log in
[07:11] <franz> nickrud, thanks for the help :)
[07:11] <spdf> Tex-Twil: You can specify an automatic login for X
[07:11] <steve_j> hi again. if i've got a process running (a mongrel server) and can see it's running from the result (the web page displays) how can i find its PID to kill it?
[07:11] <ubuntu> hi I'm trying to Access windows partition, but it is almost taking forever to mount such partition, and the windows freezes, any command to do it manually?
[07:11] <steve_j> ps -A doesn't showit
[07:11] <kkathman> ditto what spdf said
[07:11] <epiclulz> what's a good financial calculator for linux?
[07:11] <Tex-Twil> where can I specify the automatic login ?
[07:12] <nickrud> steve_j:  pidof
[07:12] <groovybassist> hey
[07:12] <[nrx] > folks, i'm running the install CD. I want to mount the HDD and set one of the partitions to be swap but fdisk says cannot open /dev/hda
[07:12] <b33r-> nickrud, remember when you helped me installing sun java update2?
[07:12] <groovybassist> can anyone help me with a problem??
[07:12] <nickrud> b33r-: sure, still futzing sorta with the wiki page
[07:12] <kkathman> epiclulz:  try researching =  apt-cache search financial
[07:12] <spdf> Tex-Twil: There's a config app under the preferences menu, I don't have a desktop in front of me athe moment. Login something, there'll be some tabs for configuring the login screen's look and such
[07:12] <Flannel> [nrx] : On feisty, I believe all disks are /dev/sda
[07:12] <b33r-> nickrud, is there a way to make it work on firefox x64? :/
[07:13] <spdf> Tex-Twil: Somewhere in there you'll find an automatic login, as well as a timed automatic login
[07:13] <Flannel> [nrx] : erm, well, not sda, but SATA.
[07:13] <Tex-Twil> ok
[07:13] <Tex-Twil> I ll find it
[07:13] <blackhole> jrib, Thanks Buddy!
[07:13] <Tex-Twil> but now: how can I disable a sudo su password ?
[07:13] <kkathman> Tex-Twil:  Systen - Admin - Login Window
[07:14] <Tex-Twil> ok
[07:14] <groovybassist> can anyone help with a freezing error please??
[07:14] <kkathman> groovybassist:  explain please and more people can help
[07:14] <Absenth> groovybassist: ubuntu just locks up, randomly?
[07:14] <spdf> Tex-Twil: for sudo, you'll just need to add a line to the sudo config using visudo
[07:14] <[nrx] > Flannel: oh! lol
[07:15] <steve_j> nickrud: it finds nothing, even tho i know a mongrel is running. if it's detached itself or something, is there a way to find it?
[07:15] <nickrud> b33r-: yes, I used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins when I ran it
[07:15] <Tex-Twil> spdf NOPASSWD in sudoers ?
[07:15] <nickrud> steve_j: ps aux will show all the processes
[07:15] <sivik> !cups
[07:15] <steve_j> got it, thanks nickrud
[07:15] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with CUPS. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[07:16] <groovybassist> ok, i'm a total beginner on linux. i had problem installing it and have now managed but after anywhere between 30 secs - 2mins the whole thing locks up. i think it's a graphics problem and ican't conenct to my wlan to get any updates either
[07:16] <Absenth> groovybassist: is the computer a dual core?
[07:16] <groovybassist> yeh, pentium-d
[07:17] <[nrx] > Flannel, and if the HDD isn't SATA?
[07:17] <Absenth> groovybassist: on my system I have to boot with noapic and nolapic to avoid that problem.
[07:17] <groovybassist> ok, how do i do that?
[07:17] <spdf> Tex-Twil: Yah, to the %admin line
[07:17] <Absenth> groovybassist: to do that, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:17] <franz> nickrud, is fqdn in the form of `hostname`.`domainname` or just `hostname` ?
[07:17] <Absenth> groovybassist: let me get a pastebin up.
[07:17] <VousDeux> I don't seem to have /sbin/mount.cifs. I tried installing samba, but that didn't add it for me. What can I do?
[07:17] <spdf> Tex-Twil: %admin ALL=NOPASSWD ALL or something along those lines
[07:18] <ptn107> groovybassist: i installed ubuntu on my friends dv9000 laptop and needed   noapic to boot, but once I upgraded to kernel 2.6.20-16 the errors stopped
[07:18] <jebblue> groovybassist doesnt help but im running on Pentium D and just normal install and boot
[07:18] <Tex-Twil> ok I ll give it a try
[07:18] <Tex-Twil> thx spdf
[07:18] <Absenth> groovybassist: you can actually temporarly pass those arguments while booting if you hit "e" at the grub boot menu.
[07:18] <nickrud> franz: in this context, I'm gonna take a pass on that question :)
[07:18] <spdf> Tex-Twil: I believe there's a commented line near the top along those lines, and the %admin line is at the bottom
[07:18] <steve_j> can anyone tell me where the best/correct place to put <Proxy xxx> insttructions for Apache is? right now it's in a file in my sites-available folder, but throws an error when i restart the server
[07:18] <franz> nickrud, hehe :D thanks :)
[07:18] <rabiddachshund> I'm dual booting vista and feisty. If I installed ntfs-3g to give ubuntu permission to write to vista, what are the chances of my vista partition getting corrupted?
[07:18] <jebblue> if you have an obboard graphics card or sound and external adapter try disabling the internal one if have to do that with my onboard sound so it doesnt compete with my plug in card
[07:18] <[nrx] > franz, FQDN = domain.tld
[07:19] <groovybassist> k thx guys
[07:19] <b33r-> nickrud, when I do sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/firefox32/plugins/
[07:19] <b33r-> it shows ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/local/firefox32/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so' to `/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so': File exists
[07:19] <b33r-> is this correct?
[07:19] <Disorganized> lo peeps
[07:19] <_ebo_> hi, my usb ports aren't recognised, something to do with ehci_hcd
[07:19] <franz> [nrx] , pardon, but i don't understand what you mean by domain.tld
[07:19] <Absenth> groovybassist: http://pastebin.ca/698707
[07:19] <groovybassist> ah
[07:20] <jebblue> _ebo_ after reboot i have to sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd then wait a few secs then sudo modprobe ehci_hcd
[07:20] <Absenth> groovybassist: if you choose "e" at the grub window, then choose the vmlinuz line and hit "e" again
[07:20] <_ebo_> jebblue : it doesn't solve anything for me, i'll pastebin my dmesg
[07:20] <Empath> Hey guys
[07:20] <groovybassist> ok, im just gonna back to my comp to try
[07:21] <Absenth> groovybassist: you can add noapic nolapic to the end of the line, hit boot, and see if that fixes the lockups.....  if it does, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to include the two arguments
[07:21] <[nrx] > franz, FQDN = Fully Qualified domain Name... this means the domain 'name' and the extension 'tld' so, microsoft's FQDN would be 'microsoft.com'
[07:21] <nickrud> b33r-: I wouldn't think so, but I no longer have an x64 install to check against
[07:21] <Empath> I have a quick question
[07:21] <Empath> but it's a tough one :|
[07:21] <spdf> Tex-Twil: Its probably a good idea to create a root password before mucking with the sudo config, considering that if you mess something up you won't be able to sudo :P
[07:21] <b33r-> ok =(
[07:21] <Tex-Twil> hmm
[07:21] <rabiddachshund> has anyone used ntfs-3g?
[07:21] <Absenth> sudo passwd root      *whistles innocently*
[07:22] <Empath> Question: I have a dlink dwl-g122 usb wireless adapter. It worked fine under xp and 2000
[07:22] <Empath> I have rabid
[07:22] <Absenth> rabiddachshund: I "have" used it.
[07:22] <kalpik> rabiddachshund, yeah.. and it wont corrupt your vista partition :)
[07:22] <rabiddachshund> ok thank you!
[07:22] <nickrud> innocent indeed ;)
[07:22] <jebblue> groovybassist do you have an external usb drive if so try disconnecting it on reboot
[07:22] <Lhademmor> !support
[07:22] <ubotu> the official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org
[07:22] <Empath> I then configured Ubuntu to use my adapter and it works fine
[07:22] <spdf> rabiddachshund: Its nice and stable
[07:22] <Lhademmor> Then I guess it's here...
[07:22] <franz> [nrx] , i see...so if there's no extension, it's an incorrect FQDN?
[07:22] <Absenth> jebblue: that's not a bad idea either...  :)
[07:22] <groovybassist> absenth, can i pm u so i dont lose your posts?
[07:22] <korny> hi
[07:22] <franz> [nrx] , k,i'll try that. thanks :)
[07:22] <Absenth> groovybassist: I don't mind.
[07:22] <Empath> but now when i try to use that same adapter again under windows, now it will work with EVERYTHING except for firefox :|
[07:23] <jebblue> Absenth thx yeah one distro cant recall which one didnt like my FreeAgent
[07:23] <Whisper> I have to reinstall vmware workstation everytime i restart my computer, what can be wrong?
[07:23] <[nrx] > franz, that's not necessarily true, however generally, yes that's correct :)
[07:23] <Lhademmor> Why is Java Runtime 6.0 not in the repos..?
[07:23] <_ebo_> jebblue : http://pastebin.ca/698711 < around line 2196 : you had the same erros?
[07:23] <korny> how can i reduce the bitrate of my mp3 ans save them in another folder?

[07:23] <kalpik> Lhademmor, it IS! sun-java6-jre
[07:23] <franz> [nrx] , k, i'll try it anyway since i have no other option :)
[07:23] <[nrx] > franz, what are you trying to do?
[07:23] <Empath> anyone got an idea as to what can be causing this?
[07:23] <Absenth> jebblue: I don't "think" I've had that problem with feisty.  although my usbdrive isn't partitioned.  It's a truecrypt volume.
[07:24] <Lhademmor> kalpik. d'oh... I must be going blind. Thanks!
[07:24] <Lhademmor> Another question: How do I make Sun Java my default java engine?
[07:24] <franz> [nrx] , im trying to install amavis-new, and it's complaining that my $myhostname is incorrect ( accdg to uname(3) )
[07:24] <Jowi> Empath, a setting in firefox most likely. proxy setting, ipv6, etc etc
[07:24] <Vegar> Is it possible to convert ubuntu into xubuntu?
[07:25] <Vegar> Is it just a matter of installing the xubuntu packages?
[07:25] <blackhole> How can i choose the theme like kde, Gnome , Icewm. I want to switch to Icewm, i am on kde now
[07:25] <kalpik> Lhademmor, just install ubuntu-restricted-extras.. that would take care of java, flash and codecs
[07:25] <Ashfire908> can i access the internet on another computer using ssh or something and be able to run programs on the ssh client's end?
[07:25] <rediz_> anyone know how to start flight gear after install
[07:25] <ptn107> i'm having trouble playing m4a files in rhythmbox, they player just skips over them; any ideas? (i don't think im missing any codecs)
[07:25] <[nrx] > franz, ok :)
[07:25] <Absenth> Vegar: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[07:25] <blackhole> How can i choose the theme like kde, Gnome , Icewm. I want to switch to Icewm, i am on kde now
[07:25] <Absenth> Vegar: you end up with both options in your gdm login (click sessions)
[07:25] <Jowi> Empath, why do you think it has anything to do with the wireless connection if "everything works except firefox"?
[07:25] <Vegar> Absenth: yeah, that's what I thought
[07:25] <Vegar> Absenth: thanks
[07:25] <spdf> Empath: Sounds like a firefox setting, as Jowi said. Nothing to do with the adaptor itself if the link is working
[07:26] <Lhademmor> kalpik: And a dumb question... What was the full command to install from a terminal?
[07:26] <jebblue> _ebo_ sorry outside my realm - maybe unplug the offending usb device, reboot, do the modprobe thing then plug the device in and see - maybe it really is just a bad usb plug like dmesg says or maybe you have true harware probs
[07:26] <gnomefreak> Lhademmor: sudo apt-get install
[07:26] <Empath> But here's the weird thing, it worked fine and nothing was changed
[07:26] <Absenth> Vegar: I usually do a "server" install, and start with xubuntu-desktop, usually I end up adding the ubuntu-desktop as well.  lots of extra apps that way, and I'm too lazy to add them one at a time :)
[07:26] <_ebo_> jebblue, any usb device does that :p
[07:26] <kalpik> Lhademmor, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:26] <Empath> until i plugged it into my ubuntu install
[07:26] <Lhademmor> gnomefreak: Thank you
[07:27] <_ebo_> jebblue, and even without plugging anything, i got the errors
[07:27] <Vegar> Absenth: I understand why you're doing that
[07:27] <spdf> Empath: The adaptor doesn't pick and choose which applications will work
[07:27] <gnomefreak> Lhademmor: yw
[07:27] <Vegar> ATM, I have no idea what's installed
[07:27] <hendrixski> Do you have to defrag in Linux like you do in windows?
[07:27] <gnomefreak> hendrixski: no
[07:27] <Absenth> hendrixski: I've never.  :)
[07:27] <Whisper> I have to reinstall vmware workstation everytime i restart my computer, what can be wrong?
[07:27] <kalpik> hendrixski, no
[07:27] <gnomefreak> hendrixski: there is no defrag for linux
[07:27] <Jowi> Empath, you must follow logic. 1. wifi works in ubuntu. 2. firefox on ubuntu works with wifi. 3. wifi works in windows. 4. firefox on windows does not work.
[07:27] <Empath> i know, this makes no sense sp. I even totally reinstalled firefox :/
[07:27] <Flannel> [nrx] : There's a mapper in the kernel that puts everything as a SATA.  So, theyreall treated as such.
[07:28] <kalpik> Empath, try if epiphany-browser works
[07:28] <blackhole> How can i choose the theme like kde, Gnome , Icewm. I want to switch to Icewm, i am on kde now
[07:28] <LinuxAthos> can anyone help me with a problem um the 'apt' ?
[07:28] <Jowi> Empath, see in ##windows on how to to remove the firefox "settings" perhaps.
[07:28] <Absenth> Flannel: when did that go in?  2.6.20?  all drives are now "sda"
[07:28] <[nrx] > Flannel, well, i've got it running with /dev/hda and the installer sees them and works with them as /dev/hda
[07:28] <hendrixski> Absenth, kalpik gnomefreak, why is that?  does ext3 just automatically store things efficiently while ntfs doesn't, or what?
[07:28] <Empath> it likely will kal
[07:28] <Jowi> kalpik, only firefox in windows that does not work it seems
[07:28] <ptn107> i'm having trouble playing m4a files in rhythmbox, they player just skips over them; any ideas? (i don't think im missing any codecs)
[07:28] <[nrx] > oOOoo, the fiesty installer lets you import windows users! :)
[07:28] <Jowi> !windows | Empath (since it is not a linux prob)

[07:28] <kalpik> Empath, Jowi oh.. ok
[07:29] <spdf> Empath: check your Documents and Settings/[USERNAME] /Local Settings, or something like that. Just remove any firefox folder in there that might have retained your previous settings..
[07:29] <gnomefreak> hendrixski: linux file system stores things in right place first time
[07:29] <q_> did you know turkish but I dont understand your language:S my eng is not good :D
[07:29] <Absenth> hendrixski: ext2 and 3 are quite a bit different than ntfs for sure.  I usually use xfs for my / partition though.
[07:29] <Ashfire908> can i create a internet connection though ssh?
[07:29] <kalpik> hendrixski, yeah.. ext3 stores files efficiently.. no need for a defrag
[07:29] <Empath> alright sp brb
[07:29] <Lhademmor> kalpik: How do I make Sun Java my default java?
[07:29] <kalpik> Lhademmor, that command would do it automatically
[07:29] <alecwh> Hello! I'm trying to find a good app for editing divx videos. Can someone suggest something?
[07:29] <hendrixski> Absenth, kalpik gnomefreak, strage that Microsoft wouldn't fix their filesystem then :-/
[07:29] <hendrixski> Ok, thank you
[07:29] <kalpik> hehe
[07:29] <jebblue> _ebo_ is this related ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/122102
[07:30] <linux26> I have a problem with my Kingston USB 2GB drive: when try writing about 1.0GB of data to my drive, linux tries keeping it in cache. My RAM is only 512MB, so I think it fills up and freezes my system.
[07:30] <__Ace__> ok, Im trying to get the data from selected items from a GtkTreeView.. can someone please tell me how
[07:30] <Absenth> hendrixski: they were trying to with "vista" although WinFS got dropped from the development tree because it was taking too long.
[07:30] <ExodusC> Hey all
[07:30] <dug> alecwh: you might search for 'video editing linux'.  there are tutorials such as this one: http://liquidweather.net/howto/index.php?id=88
[07:30] <steve_j> how can  add mod_proxy_balancer to apache if i installed using apt-get?
[07:30] <Lhademmor> kalpik, but I apparently already have it installed--- so I guess Java is not the reason why azureus keeps crashing...
[07:30] <kalpik> steve_j, search in synaptic maybe
[07:30] <hendrixski> Absenth, ah, right right... I heard good things (like revolutionary things) but it got dropped
[07:31] <kalpik> Lhademmor, dont use the one from the repos.. download the archive from azureus.sf.net
[07:31] <Absenth> hendrixski: it's too bad XFS doesn't have a windows driver yet.  I'd be using it there as well.  Ext2/3 work under windows with add on software.  :)

[07:33] <steve_j> kalpik: thanks. seems i don't have a particular apache mod installed. any ideas how to add it/ or do i have to get the source again and recompile?
[07:34] <Absenth> gustavo: is /32 even really a valid network :)
[07:34] <Absenth> gustavo: that's effectivly localhost only.
[07:34] <gustavo> Absenth: yes, i know... but it work with /32 but not with /24, it doesnt makes sense
[07:34] <Ninio> how do I install gcc+ libraries ?
[07:34] <ExodusC> It seems I can't even connect to my sound server anymore; I'm not sure what I configured wrong.  Anyone got any ideas?
[07:34] <dug> groovybassist: why you might not be able to connect?  what wireless card does your computer have?
[07:34] <Empath> has anyone tried out wow with the brand new version of wine yet?
[07:34] <kalpik> steve_j, i think installing the correct package from the repos would do
[07:34] <Lhademmor> !uninstall
[07:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about uninstall - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:34] <groovybassist> it's a belkin 54g
[07:35] <__Ace__> anyone+
[07:35] <Absenth> Empath: I've used WoW on .9.4.0 iirc.  worked just fine.
[07:35] <__Ace__> ?
[07:35] <nickrud> Ninio:    install   build-essential
[07:35] <Lhademmor> How do I uninstall Azureus then?
[07:35] <dug> Ninio: one thing you can do is install the build-essential package.  beyond that, search the synaptic package manager for more g++ stuff
[07:35] <kalpik> Lhademmor, sudo apt-get remove azureus --purge
[07:35] <Empath> yep but i know .44 broke it absenth but I'm curious if the one that just came out yesterday fixed it
[07:35] <steve_j> kalpik: cool. any idea how to specify options for a package when installing it?
[07:35] <kalpik> steve_j, what kinda options?
[07:35] <Absenth> Empath: ahh, that I can't answer.  don't have WoW or the Restricted drivers on this notebook.
[07:35] <Ninio> dug: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:36] <darlok> When installing an application from source, do I need to remove the older version before installing the newer one?
[07:36] <Ninio> do I do that dug ?
[07:36] <dug> groovybassist: sorry, i'm not familiar with if belkin cards are supported in ubuntu, you might search for "belkin wireless ubuntu" on google, or post on the forum, or see these docs:
[07:36] <steve_j> kalpik: to include mod_proxy_balancer

[07:36] <ubotu> groovybassist: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:36] <Absenth> Empath: and I don't think testing via vpn/remote x to home is a good option :)
[07:36] <nickrud> darlok: usually a good idea
[07:36] <Lhademmor> kalpik, thanks I'm starting to get the hang of all these commands :)
[07:36] <dug> Ninio: yes, that's right
[07:36] <darlok> nickrud: How do I uninstall it?
[07:36] <Ninio> 10x
[07:36] <groovybassist> ok, thx guys
[07:36] <Lhademmor> Who maintains the repos anyway?
[07:36] <kalpik> steve_j, ah.. im sorry.. dunno the details.. i think you would have to fine tune manually, editing the conf files
[07:37] <nickrud> darlok: change to the build directory ;   sudo make uninstall     is supposed to work, if the make file was built correctly
[07:37] <begasus> cya peeps
[07:37] <kalpik> Lhademmor, the ubuntu team maintains the repos..
[07:37] <steve_j> kalpik: that's fine. happy to do that, but will recompiling, etc, kill my existing setting file?
[07:37] <zero-9376> anyone here familiar with timevault
[07:37] <darlok> nickrud: Does that work from the new version of the software
[07:37] <nickrud> darlok: you can hope
[07:37] <Lhademmor> kalpik: Have they been made aware of the problems w/ the Azureus version?
[07:38] <kalpik> steve_j, you dont have to recompile! and just to be safe, just backup your conf and conf.d directory
[07:38] <darlok> nickrud: Okay, no that doesn't work.  Says there is no target
[07:38] <nickrud> darlok: you'd have to do the ./configure first, to create the makefiles.  be sure to give configure the same options as last time
[07:38] <kalpik> Lhademmor, yeah.. the version in the repos is compiled using the free version of java, and that's what creates the problems i guess.. so its not something that can be changed easily!
[07:39] <gustavo>  !tcpdump
[07:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tcpdump - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[07:39] <Lhademmor> On another note, wasn't Java supposedly about to be GPL'd or something?
[07:39] <kalpik> Lhademmor, yeah.. it was.. im waiting on it too :)
[07:40] <Absenth> Lhademmor: I don't think gpl'd  but they were changing the license so that it could be distributed as part of the OS.
[07:40] <Absenth> Lhademmor: as I understood the release anyway.
[07:40] <arek> ajome
[07:40] <VousDeux> well, I tried downloading mount.cifs. I moved it to /sbin/, made it executable, did chown and chgrp to root. Now I try to use it and it does nothing.
[07:40] <Lhademmor> Absenth: That's halfway there anyway :)
[07:40] <dug> java is gpl now, with a classpath exception
[07:41] <VousDeux> what is the proper way to acquire mount.cifs?
[07:41] <finalbeta> what does that mean? classpath exception?

[07:41] <[nrx] > hi.
[07:41] <dug> it means you can still release your own java app that is not gpl, even though of course any java app depends on the standard java library (classpath)
[07:42] <Lhademmor> dug,, is it possible that it could be free somewhere in the near future?
[07:42] <nickrud> VousDeux: install smbfs

[07:51] <TU> dug: where can i grab it
[07:52] <dirtyhand> so im trying to create a symlink but the link ends up as a red
[07:52] <kalpik> tifine, yeah.. it depends a lot on the make and model of your router.. no one would be able to tell you the exact steps.. i can only guide you as to what to look for ;)
[07:52] <dirtyhand> name
[07:52] <nickrud> Rick__: but the alternate installer is a good idea in general:  releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/
[07:52] <wost> t
[07:52] <Rick__> ok...
[07:52] <bkhyp1> anyone know how to make the OSX type taskber in ubuntu ?
[07:53] <nickrud> I never let the live cd install anymore ...
[07:53] <kalpik> nickrud, Rick__ +1 for the alternate installer
[07:54] <franz> does anybody know whether this article ( http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier ) is still valid for (k)ubuntu? :-)
[07:54] <[DCH] Bret> Ahah!
[07:54] <indy415> Hi all, bit new at ubuntu. Currently having wireless issues in feisty 7.0.4.
[07:54] <[DCH] Bret> I'm now on Linux everyone :)
[07:54] <spdf> Woot.. Looks like my HD is crashing.. Can't do squat about it, ssh'd from work..
[07:54] <Raspberry> anybody know if the updates yesterday broke compiz?
[07:54] <tom_> yay, me too
[07:54] <kRush> !bootlog
[07:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bootlog - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:54] <kRush> !bootlogd
[07:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bootlogd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:54] <Rick__> the alternate installer sounds gooood
[07:54] <[DCH] Bret> My onboard sound doesnt work :@
[07:54] <[DCH] Bret> Anyone know how i can enable sound?
[07:55] <kRush> is there a quick way to enable bootlogging on feisty?
[07:55] <[DCH] Bret> I tried the OSS driver for my version and tried osstest and it said no hardware was found :S
[07:55] <indy415> Wireless takes ages to find my connection but oddly connects if i move my laptop closer to the router
[07:55] <indy415> any ideas
[07:55] <nickrud> [DCH] Bret: what kind of sound do you have (look at   lspci    in a terminal)
[07:56] <Raspberry> [DHC] Bret -- type "dmesg | less" at the console and step through that... see if you see your soundhardware being loaded
[07:56] <the^user> do sombody know how i can burn mds files in ubuntu
[07:56] <[DCH] Bret> copy dmesg | less into a terminal?
[07:56] <Raspberry> just type it
[07:56] <Raspberry> yeah
[07:56] <mudge> hello
[07:57] <jebblue> bret make sure its enabled int he bios/cmos
[07:57] <mudge> how do I find out if my computer is 32 bit or 64 bit?
[07:57] <mudge> i'm running ubuntu
[07:57] <Raspberry> [dhc] bret what nickrud said about 'lspci' is good too
[07:57] <spdf> Blah.. This baby's going to crash and burn.. Going to get home and it'll be on fire I imagine..
[07:57] <PriceChild> mudge, is there a sticker on it?
[07:57] <SlimeyPete> mudge: what processor do you have?
[07:57] <nickrud> lol
[07:57] <PriceChild> *thinks of a better, terminal way*
[07:57] <nickrud> uname
[07:57] <[DCH] Bret> dmesg | less - typed that, don't know what to look for
[07:57] <kalpik> mudge, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[07:57] <PriceChild> nickrud, that's just kernel
[07:57] <mudge> i have a duo core processor
[07:58] <mudge> from dell
[07:58] <PriceChild> kalpik, that's the one :)
[07:58] <SlimeyPete> mudge: 64-bit then
[07:58] <nickrud> PriceChild: true :)
[07:58] <PriceChild> mudge, do what kalpik says
[07:58] <kalpik> PriceChild, :D
[07:58] <tifine> kalpik:->  I am using the router HUAWEI  hg510
[07:58] <spdf> Hmm.. aside from shutdown -h, is there another way to halt the system over ssh?
[07:58] <PriceChild> spdf, sudo halt
[07:58] <l_r> just out of my curiosity. why is there this particular sequence in version numbering of ubuntu: 6.06 6.10 7.04 7,10 and so on?
[07:58] <nickrud> l_r: year/month of release
[07:59] <kalpik> tifine, i would not know much about that router.. havent used it :P
[07:59] <Anlar> l_r: the names are more important. I am waiting when it gets to S.. I got a good one brewing ;)

[08:00] <PriceChild> !iptables | Fluffy-Wuffy
[08:00] <ubotu> Fluffy-Wuffy: 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).

[10:03] (nizzle/#ubuntu) how can i set it back so its not mounted as filesystem /windows but so that it shows up as MAXTOR-25GB-XP which is the label
[10:03] (wine_sparc^/#ubuntu) b33r
[10:03] (PriceChild/#ubuntu) Nilisco, tell that to the people asking, not me.
[10:03] (primski/#ubuntu) w33d
[10:03] (Ar-Pharazo1/#ubuntu) Pricechild, I don't understand it. The howto talks about clients and server and guest accounts and god knows what... Are you sure this is the quick way? I don't really need anything but sending files. I don't care about printers, internet, security.... Just files. Sorry if I come across as lazy.
[10:04] (Pirate_Hunter/#ubuntu) Ziv, astro76: Idint get what you meant but i guess its a memory bug thing that wont show the total ram amount... am i right?
[10:04] (astro76/#ubuntu) Pirate_Hunter, actually that's still 1995 MB
[10:04] (Ziv/#ubuntu) NemesisD: yes w/ the right programs
[10:04] (Nilisco/#ubuntu) PriceChild, roger that, I suppose this is a bit of a beginning channel.  I'll refrain from that in the future.
[10:04] (astro76/#ubuntu) Pirate_Hunter, not a bug, the nature of the hardware
[10:04] <Pirate_Hunter> astro76: lol dam
[10:04] <PriceChild> Ar-Pharazo1, enable samba, set security = share in smb.conf, share a folder, that's about it.
[10:04] <PriceChild> Nilisco, appreciated.
[10:04] <Ashfire908> what's a "room number"?
[10:05] <PriceChild> Ashfire908, in what context?
[10:05] <Ziv> Pirate hunter: It's not a bug... It's a flaw in the whole idea behind PC's in x86 architecture ( I think that also in 64 bits)
[10:05] <sauvin> I've gotten used to the fact that what it says on the shrinkwrap and what it says when I've actually formatted it are often different when I install a new hard drive.
[10:05] <Ziv> Ashfire908: it's a number that a room has
[10:05] <Pirate_Hunter> astro76: ive been reading the hardwar manual and it seems the pc runs on extended memory would this be the case that some other part of hardware such as video card etc is using the ram, cause if thats the case that a bummer "dam sis"
[10:05] <Ashfire908> PriceChild: adduser is asking for a room number
[10:05] <Ar-Pharazo1> PriceChild: The smb.conf was full of pages of stuff, so I just deleted it all and copied the "minimal smb.conf" to it... Is that ok?
[10:05] <b33r> How can I install drivers for my Intel Graphics Accelerator 3100 on a x64 ubuntu version
[10:05] <Ziv> what can I do if Xubuntu doesn't recognize my network card?
[10:06] <PriceChild> sauvin, no... normally it differs between whether you use 1024 and 1000
[10:06] <sauvin> Anyhow, Pirate_Hunter, if you were missing memory, it wouldn't be a small handful of megs, it'd be a sizeable CHUNK.
[10:06] <sauvin> PriceChild, my point exactly.
[10:06] <PriceChild> Ar-Pharazo1, not really... but if it works and you're not concerned about anything else it works i guess... :/
[10:06] <[DCH] Bret> Where would Skype have downloaded to so ican delete something?
[10:06] <sauvin> The salesmen use 1000 because you can get bigger numbers out of that system, but the computer uses 1024.
[10:06] <NemesisD> Ziv, what programs in particular?
[10:06] <Ar-Pharazo1> PriceChild: Oh. Ok. Does it matter where I add it?
[10:06] <Zweisteine> trekkme, what repositories did you use to install compizfusion?
[10:06] <PriceChild> sauvin, which is why people should realise what the M's mean in different contexts
[10:06] <wine_sparc^> b33r where are you from?
[10:07] <PriceChild> Ar-Pharazo1, i don't know sorry
[10:07] <Zweisteine> [DCH] Bret, it says on that forum to delete .skype from your home directory
[10:07] <PriceChild> Ar-Pharazo1, I only suggested one change to that file
[10:07] <Ziv> I don't remember...
[10:07] <eeyore_> Does anyone know what the difference is between the xserver-xorg-video-intel and xserver-xorg-video-i810 packages? the intel one seems to be a newer version but is not installed by defualt and it says in the description it supports the same cards as the i810 one. Why is it a bad idea to install the newer driver?
[10:07] <b33r> wine_sparc^, why are you asking?
[10:07] <Pirate_Hunter> sauvin: yeah so the 4GB missing from xp what is using it and the rest missing from ubuntu where did it go to thats what i wnat to find out... its just an annoyiance not knowing... if the extended memory is not consuming ram what is?
[10:07] <sauvin> I don't worry about it. "Hrm... I need to lug around 500 megs of files or so... better grab a 2GB stick..."
[10:07] <Ar-Pharazo1> Pricechild: No, I restored the smb.conf that came with samba.... Does it matter where I add "security = share"?
[10:08] <[DCH] Bret> I have 3 folders in home
[10:08] <wine_sparc^> because i think know you
[10:08] <PriceChild> Ar-Pharazo1, read the file... and you'll see it already set to something ;)
[10:08] <Jowi> eeyore_, xserver-xorg-video-intel is not 100% ready yet but support more hardware afaik
[10:08] <[DCH] Bret> my user, los+found and shared
[10:08] <Ziv> why no one is helping me???
[10:08] <PriceChild> Ar-Pharazo1, security = share isn't the exact way it should be written, so read it andfind the right bit and format
[10:08] <PriceChild> !patience | Ziv
[10:08] <ubotu> Ziv: 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
[10:08] <Jowi> eeyore_, video-intel will replace video-i810 when it is ready
[10:08] <Ashfire908> PriceChild: do you know what it's asking for?
[10:08] <Zweisteine> [DCH] Bret, in /home/your_username you have a folder named .skype (with a dot)
[10:08] <sauvin> Pirate_Hunter, I can't answer that question directly because I have no direct knowledge. It seems to me different memory reporting mechanisms are looking at different ways of determining what's there.
[10:08] <Ziv> what can I do if Xubuntu doesn't recognize my network card?
[10:08] <astro76> Pirate_Hunter, you're not missing 4GB, you're missing .04 GB
[10:08] <jimmygoon> How do I open an app on a remote display?
[10:08] <Ar-Pharazo1> Pricechild: Oh... Ok. So should I do anything on the winxp pc, or will it, uh... "just work"?
[10:08] <Zweisteine> [DCH] Bret, type rm -rf ~/.skype in the nice console you opened earlier
[10:09] <eeyore_> Jowi if I wanted to try it out, see if it's faster, how would I set xorg.conf in order to use the intel one not the i810. Is it just that? Set driver to intel instead of i810?
[10:09] <trekkme> zweisteine: i used download.tuxfamily...
[10:09] <wine_sparc^> i think did you are another person
[10:09] <PriceChild> Ashfire908, never heard of a room number... uid perhaps but not pid
[10:09] <PriceChild> Ar-Pharazo1, just work
[10:09] <PriceChild> Ashfire908, *but not room number
[10:09] <Jowi> eeyore_, yeah, install the package. replace i810 with intel in xorg.conf. restart xorg. that simple
[10:09] <Ziv> half an hour you are explaining to some 8 y/o kid that 4 MB out of 2 damn GB is nothing1!!!!
[10:09] <Ar-Pharazo1> PriceChild: Ok, thank you very much. Sorry for the lazy attitude, I just have a lot to do tonight.
[10:10] <Jowi> eeyore_, i810 works better for me than intel for my 945GM at the moment at least.
[10:10] <eeyore_> Jowi sweet, thanks for the info. I see gutsy has the 2.0 driver which was announced stable if I remember
[10:10] <Pirate_Hunter> astro76, sauvin: ok thats somewhat is better than 4GB but is there a way to find out where its gone to cause there something in this comp that is using the ram but its not stated anywhere ive read
[10:10] <Zweisteine> Ziv, what was your question?
[10:10] <PriceChild> Ar-Pharazo1, no worries
[10:10] <eeyore_> Jowi I have a 855, so it might be different
[10:10] <Ziv> thx
[10:10] <PriceChild> Ar-Pharazo1, here's hoping it works
[10:10] <Ziv> what can I do if Xubuntu doesn't recognize my network card?
[10:10] <[DCH] Bret> Zweisteine: i've done that. Now what? :s
[10:10] <eeyore_> Jowi and doesn't the newer one support Randr 1.2?
[10:10] <sauvin> Pirate_Hunter, it's not something I've ever worried about but I DO often see that happening. I think you're just running into wobbly reporting.
[10:10] <Zweisteine> [DCH] Bret, start skype again. Does it still crash?
[10:10] <sauvin> DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
[10:10] <salsero> #ubuntu -de
[10:11] <Jowi> eeyore_, don't know. you have all the info at http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/
[10:11] <Ashfire908> Does anyone know what a room number is?
[10:11] <[DCH] Bret> yes
[10:11] <[DCH] Bret> it still crashes
[10:11] <eeyore_> Jowi thanks a lot
[10:12] <Zweisteine> [DCH] Bret, try a different version of skype. Which are you using?
[10:12] <MattJ> Ziv: What kind of card is it?
[10:12] <Pirate_Hunter> sauvin: could you expand that explanation dont understand it properly and i wouldnt expect both OS to show different ram amounts
[10:12] <Ziv> an 10/100ethernet of an unknown make
[10:12] <[DCH] Bret> 1.4 BETA
[10:12] <sauvin> I didn't explain anything, really. Different operating systems, and different parts THEREOF or the utilities you run on them, have different ways of exmaining system memory.
[10:12] <sauvin> I'm not at all surprised to see variances.
[10:13] <sauvin> All your memory is still there. If it weren't, the computer would crash. Period.

[10:24] <chuy_max> when I connect a ticket printer in my PC, a file is always created called /dev/lp0, is it safe to assume it will always be created there?
[10:24] <Ziv> Zweisteine: i tried lspci | grep ethernet and it doesn't show anything
[10:24] <Zweisteine> Ziv, try with a capital E

[10:24] <sauvin> What was the nature of the crash?
[10:24] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, can you still mount the partition in linux?

[10:25] <sauvin> idiot, I'm thinking about running out today and buying an ipod with the full understanding that it may not work well if it's formmatted hfs.
[10:25] <Ziv> idiot: if you buy a generic MP3 player you can use it freely
[10:25] <woland_> idiot: so long as you dont choose a player that is locked to proprietory/drm media you should be fine

[10:26] <foug> i have an external hard drive and it goes idle after about 20 minutes. Is there anyway i can edit this?
[10:26] <TuxMack> lowlux, wack?
[10:26] <woland_> sauvin: google?

[10:26] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, is it a ntfs partition?
[10:26] <Jowi> lowlux, lol
[10:26] <lowlux> i can't read the text everthhing is trashed.
[10:26] <idiot> so basically its a question of treating the mp3 player as a removable hard drive?
[10:26] <Shaba1> yes it is
[10:26] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, also, sauvin asked what the nature of a crash is
[10:27] <Zweisteine> the*.
[10:27] <sauvin> "Es ist einfach abgefallen! Hilfe!"
[10:27] <lowlux> CRASHED.
[10:27] <Shaba1> Is I try the windows recovery screen any choice I choose just reboots that machine
[10:27] <Jowi> idiot, most of them are treated exactly like that. exceptions are ipod and ... ummm ... i don't know. I think there should be a hardware list somewhere...

[10:28] <idiot> how good is ubuntu with recognizing external hard drives plugged in via usb?  things "just work" or is there anything i need to do?
[10:28] <Shaba1> Well I was going to a web page for something call the persnal video database
[10:28] <woland_> ipod is no exception
[10:28] <mikl> what was the name of that command to overwrite your hdd with random data?
[10:28] <jrib> idiot: "just work" generally
[10:28] <Shaba1> I had Free agent new headers
[10:28] <mikl> it's on the ubuntu live CD
[10:28] <woland_> mikl: dd
[10:28] <idiot> ok, thanks guys
[10:28] <sauvin> woland, ipod is no exception to what?
[10:28] <lowlux> SOMEONE GIVE ME A COMMAND TO UNSTALLL THIS DESKTOP DRIVE PEICE OF SHIT.
[10:28] <eamonnd> I'm having a problem with compiz. The 3D cube effect and that film strip effect (the one that happens when you hit crtl+alt+down arrow) have stopped working
[10:28] <Shaba1> I had yahoo messenter runing
[10:28] <woland_> sauvin: it's a removable media device

[10:28] <mikl> woland_: no, there is a special app for it...
[10:28] <sauvin> idiot, I have half a dozen external drives; they ALL "just work".
[10:28] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, try mounting it. Does it work?
[10:29] <Ziv> Zweisteine: w/ capital E it doesn't show anything either
[10:29] <woland_> mikl: why not use dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdX simple.
[10:29] <eamonnd> does anyone know how to fix this?
[10:29] <Shaba1> all of a sudden AVG kicked in saying that a file had a trojan in it
[10:29] <jrib> !please > eamonnd (read the private message from ubotu)
[10:29] <Shaba1> I expect it was from that web page
[10:29] <Shaba1> I locked up
[10:29] <jrib> eamonnd: try #ubuntu-effects for help with compiz
[10:29] <Shaba1> so I did a power down and power up
[10:29] <Atrocity2001> Speaking external drives, I popped in here because I'm having a problem with a Seagate external firewire drive...worked fine under 6.04 and 6.10...then I upgraded to 7.04 and now my non-adminstrator account can't see it while my administrator account can.  I've checked the privileges a million times, but...
[10:29] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, so you came here to get help installing linux instead of windows?
[10:30] <mikl> woland_: Because that not enough according to our security regulations...
[10:30] <Shaba1> No I did not
[10:30] <jrib> Atrocity2001: what filesystem?
[10:30] <mattwoodyard> is there anything like loadlin that runs under linux and can let me install ubuntu onto of another distro with out using a CD?
[10:30] <Atrocity2001> I believe it's FAT32...that's a good question.
[10:30] <Shaba1> I came her to learn if there was a method of recovering windwos from linux
[10:30] <woland_> mikl: use /dev/urandom a few times
[10:30] <Atrocity2001> The odd thing is that before I never had to care...I connected it and it worked perfectly.
[10:31] <jrib> Atrocity2001: is it plugged in now?
[10:31] <woland_> mikl: zeroing it isn't effective at all
[10:31] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, you can recover a partition if the partition table's destroyed (I did that once), but if there's smth wrong with the Windows install.. you could recover the files, burn them to a cd, and then reinstall Windows
[10:31] <Atrocity2001> Yes...and I'm logged on as "administrator", so I can access it.
[10:31] <bro> hi. i installed ubuntu after i messed up my windows instalation and now i can't mount my ntfs partition. i installed both ntfs-3g and ntfs configutation tool, but i get an error about some log file. i don't have the windows instalation anymore, is there anything i can do from ubuntu?
[10:31] <jrib> Atrocity2001: type 'mount' and see what filesystem it is using
[10:31] <Zweisteine> mattwoodyard, you can install ubuntu from any linux distribution by using debootstrap. Check out the documentation and tell me if you need any help along the way.
[10:31] <ep1> I am running Ubuntu on Vmware, but I dont see any USB devices (my externam hard drive) when I connect it
[10:31] <gordonjcp> woland_: what, catting /dev/zero over a drive won't wipe it?
[10:31] <Ziv> woland_: it doesn't help either
[10:32] <mattwoodyard> thanks
[10:32] <Shaba1> Problem with that is therei s no wrecovery cd with this machine
[10:32] <ep1> how can I enable it,
[10:32] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, what's the name of the partition on gparted?
[10:32] <Zweisteine> in*
[10:32] <Ziv> woland_: it doesn't even say that the command is not recognized
[10:32] <ep1> in my VMware->setting USB is enabled
[10:32] <Shaba1> there is a recovery patition that I assume I was suppose to burn onto a cd
[10:32] <eamonnd> jrib, nobody is in that room so it isn't much help
[10:32] <Shaba1> but I never did
[10:32] <Atrocity2001> If I'm reading it correctly, it's vfat.
[10:32] <woland_> gordonjcp: 1) catting would be stupid. 2) you will only overwrite the data once on a modern file system
[10:32] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, you don't have the install cd?
[10:32] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, depends on your definition of "wipe"
[10:32] <PriceChild> eamonnd, you've waited 2 minutes... wait longer
[10:32] <Shaba1> the main partion is /dev/hda1 that is 182.g
[10:33] <lowlux> HOW DO I RESET UBUNTU BACK TO SAFE SETTINGS???? ITS CRASHING LIKE MAD!

[10:33] <Atrocity2001> Oops, sorry!
[10:33] <Shaba1> the "revovery partition is /dev/hda2
[10:33] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, try this in a console. mkdir /media/winpart; mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/winpart; ls /media/winpart
[10:33] <Zweisteine> any output
[10:33] <mikl> woland_: oh, I found it now - it's called wipe :)
[10:33] <woland_> gordonjcp: dd is a lot more sane, and random data will cause it to rewrite more likeley
[10:33] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: render all data on the disk completely and irretrievably gone
[10:33] <gordonjcp> woland_: nah
[10:33] <bro> hi. i installed ubuntu after i messed up my windows instalation and now i can't mount my ntfs partition. i installed both ntfs-3g and ntfs configutation tool, but i get an error about some log file. i don't have the windows instalation anymore, is there anything i can do from ubuntu?
[10:33] <gordonjcp> woland_: disks are never written the same way twice
[10:33] <Shaba1> Yes the model did not come with a recovery cd
[10:34] <wine_sparc> hi
[10:34] <PriceChild> lowlux, pm with me for a minute please
[10:34] <Ziv> !Zweisteine: I tried w/ capital letter bu it doesn't help
[10:34] <PriceChild> bah he went
[10:34] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, "impossible"
[10:34] <ep1> hello can anyone help me with VMware USB problem, I cant detect my external hard drive within Vmware Ubuntu
[10:34] <jrib> Atrocity2001: what output do you get when you type 'groups' as the user that is having problems?
[10:34] <gordonjcp> PriceChild: on any modern disk drive, once a sector is overwritten even *once* the data is gone forever
[10:34] <Zweisteine> Ziv, pate the entire output of lspci in a pastebin
[10:34] <Kevi1> Hello\
[10:34] <Shaba1> it has a recovery partion whic you are suppose to burn a rescue cd. I did not of course
[10:34] <Atrocity2001> jrib: Hang on, I'll try that...have to switch logins.
[10:34] <Anlar> gordonjcp: bs.
[10:34] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, OK, mount the recovery partition and see what it contains
[10:34] <lowlux> GIMME ME A A COMMAND TO RETSET MY COMPOUYTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[10:34] <gordonjcp> Anlar: why's that then?
[10:35] <gordonjcp> Anlar: do you know how disk drives work?
[10:35] <PriceChild> gordonjcp, not true
[10:35] <PriceChild> grr
[10:35] <PriceChild> lowlux, please pm with me
[10:35] <Ziv> Zweisteine: I can't the comp is supposed to connect using the ethernet connection
[10:35] <woland_> gordonjcp: thats complete nonsense
[10:35] <gordonjcp> woland_: why's that then?
[10:35] <mike6546> when i mount a ext3 partition should I use  0 0 for the last columns? (in fstab)
[10:35] <woland_> gordonjcp: read any modern paper on data recovery
[10:35] <gordonjcp> woland_: I have
[10:35] <Zweisteine> Ziv, copy the output by hand then. Or copy the second column only
[10:36] <pyrak> is rtf a proprietary format?
[10:36] <gordonjcp> woland_: they all presuppose that you're using ancient disk drives that record using something akin to MFM
[10:36] <Shaba1> zweisteine
[10:36] <Nighthawk420_> ugh
[10:36] <kringel> lowlux: to reboot?
[10:36] <Anlar> gordonjcp: there will still be faint residues, "shadows" of the previous content. using good equipment in lab environments you can restore most of the data. that has not changed during the years at all. it takes surprisingly a lot to really destroy the dat
[10:36] <gordonjcp> woland_: no drive made in the past 10 years uses signals like that
[10:36] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, yes?
[10:36] <Shaba1> the terminal says only root can do that
[10:36] <jrib> gordonjcp, woland_: please continue the discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:36] <Atrocity2001> jrib: the groups for that account are adm cdrom floppy audio video plugdev
[10:36] <gordonjcp> Anlar: no, you can't
[10:36] <gordonjcp> jrib: I was about to say
[10:36] <kringel> lowlux: in command line: sudo init 6
[10:36] <pyrak> anyone know if rtf is a free or nonfree format?
[10:36] <gordonjcp> Anlar, woland_ : -offtopic please, kids
[10:36] <Zweisteine> prefix all commands with "sudo"
[10:36] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, prefix all commands with "sudo"
[10:36] <Anlar> gordonjcp: stfu, lame jerkoff
[10:37] <bro> hi. i installed ubuntu after i messed up my windows instalation and now i can't mount my ntfs partition. i installed both ntfs-3g and ntfs configutation tool, but i get an error about some log file. i don't have the windows instalation anymore, is there anything i can do from ubuntu?
[10:37] <Shaba1> I did that too
[10:37] <Shaba1> Same thing
[10:37] <gordonjcp> Anlar: come to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to discuss it
[10:37] <Atrocity2001> jrib: But I know I have "access external storage devices automatically" checked.
[10:37] <Zweisteine> did you type sudo mkdir /media/windisk?
[10:37] <Shaba1> "mount: only rook can do that
[10:37] <gordonjcp> Shaba1: clever, these corvids
[10:37] <tiekyl> pyrak: a *very* quick wikipedia search says its proprietary
[10:37] <jrib> Atrocity2001: right, that 's the plugdev group.  Hmmm... did you log out and back in after checking that?
[10:38] <Atrocity2001> jrib: Repeatedly...this has been going on for days.
[10:38] <Shaba1> I copied and pasted that entire line into a terminal window first
[10:38] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, did you type sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/whatever /media/windisk?
[10:38] <gordonjcp> pyrak: it's proprietary, but well-documented
[10:38] <Shaba1> Then I prefaces it with sudo and pasted
[10:38] <Shaba1> same error
[10:38] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, you must prepend "sudo "to all commands
[10:38] <jrib> Atrocity2001: what happens exactly when you plug it in?
[10:38] <Shaba1> As I said
[10:38] <gordonjcp> woland_ / Anlar : I notice you're not in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:39] <kringel> lowlux: or when nothing is working anymore <Alt>+<Print>+S (syncing... wait) <Alt>+<Print>+U (mounting filesystem read-only... wait!) then <Alt>+<Print>+B (reboot immediately). Before you should try in a non-graphical terminal (when system doesn react anymore) <Strg>+<Alt>+<Entf> This is more the smooth way
[10:39] <Shaba1> I prefaced it with sudo then pasted the line
[10:39] <Shaba1> same thing
[10:39] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, type sudo /bin/bash
[10:39] <Zweisteine> then type the line I gave you again without any sudo in it
[10:39] <Atrocity2001> jrib: "administrator" can see it, write to it, delete files, etc. (in fact, there are two icons for it on the desktop), but "jeff" can't see it at all...except for one single login attempt where it was there but had no write access
[10:39] <Shaba1> Ok

[10:41] <avt3kk> is there a simple way to put all my gmail emails in one folder to save on my harddrive?
[10:41] <coopster> I'm trying to run matlab, and the program is running fine, but the file,edit,etc menus are not visible.  This happens even when I run it via SSH off of another machine, so I'm fairly sure it's a local thing.  Does anyone know what might be doing this?
[10:41] <bro> hi. i installed ubuntu after i messed up my windows instalation and now i can't mount my ntfs partition. i installed both ntfs-3g and ntfs configutation tool, but i get an error about some log file. i don't have the windows instalation anymore, is there anything i can do from ubuntu?
[10:41] <Shaba1> ok zwiet Now I get what looks like a directory of my C:\Drive
[10:41] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, type ls /media/windisk. Does it not return anything?
[10:41] <avt3kk> guys?
[10:41] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, ok.
[10:42] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, what's the type of the recovery partition
[10:42] <Jowi> avt3kk, enable pop3 in gmail, set to get all email (not only new ones), then pull the emails with thunderbird or other pop3 capable client.
[10:42] <Shaba1> fat32
[10:42] <kringel> bro: the error is not about a log file, I guess, it only says, that a log file is created. what says when you type "dmesg | tail" ?
[10:42] <avt3kk> but when I uninstall thunderbird its gone????
[10:42] <avt3kk> right
[10:43] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, type the same commands, substituting the name of the partition with the name of the recovery partition, the mount point (/media/windisk) to any other mountpoint you wish
[10:43] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, and ntfs with fat32
[10:43] <Wardog91> 
[10:43] <Jowi> avt3kk, depends on how you set up your emails. I have mine in a MailDir, but the default is a mbox file (don't remember where it is located.

[10:47] <Zweisteine> Hi, I'm running feisty fawn amd64 and I am trying to build an i386 fpc crosscompiler. Does the binutils-multiarch package contain binutils for cross-compiling to i386? I typed dpkg -L binutils-multiarch and did not find as being diverted (although a couple of others were). What do I need to crosscompile apps for i386?

[10:51] <kringel> bro: mhm, I'm not a pro with this topic. you can try to set ntfs3g in the mount option. but not familiar with that. read-only access should be fine with standard kernel features. hope someone else here can help you or check the forum

[10:55] <Shaba1> root@ubuntu:~#  mkdir /media/winpart3; mount -t fat32  /dev/hda2 /media/winpart3; ls /media/winpart3

[10:55] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, sorry, I meant vfat
[10:56] <tommyjazz> hello to all
[10:56] <kringel> short question: I got quite used to ext4dev, and also compiling the patched e2fsprogs, but I have no idea, how to get fsck.ext4dev to run at boot time. it says: "not found in /sbin" is this related to initram etc? though mounting and booting works finde. only fsck for root does not work
[10:56] <Zweisteine> Ziv, please check if it's a PCI card. Compare the slot it fits in with the ones your other cards fit into
[10:56] <enterusername> I have placed the preferences file in the /etc/apt directory
[10:56] <setite> just installed KDM on ubuntu server.. how do i configrue
[10:56] <enterusername> is that where its suppose to go?
[10:56] <Zweisteine> Ziv, I think it's an ISA card. How old is the machine?
[10:56] <setite> i cant rememebr the command
[10:56] <Shaba1> ok
[10:57] <Shaba1> now I get something that looks like the root directory of that partition
[10:57] <Ziv> Zweisteine: almost 9 yrs I think
[10:57] <Shaba1> Can I run any of these under wine?
[10:57] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, what files are there?
[10:57] <jrib> enterusername: you want to give version 1.2.0* a low priority?
[10:57] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, do you see any ISO file?
[10:58] <enterusername> I want to make it so cupsys 1.2.0 stays the same..
[10:58] <Shaba1> none
[10:58] <jrib> enterusername: then you want to give it a *high* priority, take a look at the wiki page and linked docs
[10:58] <enterusername> jrib: I would like to make it so cupsys is not upgraded when I run apt-get upgrade
[10:58] <enterusername> ahh i see
[10:58] <enterusername> thank u
[10:58] <enterusername> I was reading it wrong
[10:58] <jrib> np
[10:58] <theATOM> how can I convert .3gp to AVI or MPEG?
[10:58] <enterusername> Heh 1 means it wont be installed :)
[10:59] <Shaba1> I do see an i386,miniNT,System Restore, System Volume Information and updgoi directory
[10:59] <Shaba1> I am going to assume those are directories
[10:59] <enterusername> wicked thanks jrib.. what a moron i was :)
[10:59] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, Try this: find (place where you mounted) -name *.iso
[10:59] <theATOM> !3gp
[10:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 3gp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[11:00] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, the last argument to the mount -t vfat blahblah ARGUMENT command
[11:00] <Ziv> the ATOM: I think that youi will need wine... and search for "super audio video cnverter
[11:01] <Shaba1> Zweistein
[11:01] <Zweisteine> Ziv, I think your card is ISA. You'd need to know a bit more about it before you could use it
[11:01] <Shaba1> I doubth there is and iso file on here.
[11:01] <Ar_Pharazon> Hello
[11:01] <ImHated> Does it matter if programs are compiled specifically for pentium4s or whatever processor you're using?
[11:01] <ImHated> Sped-wise?
[11:01] <Shaba1> Probalbly a specialize recovery program installed by gateway
[11:01] <Ziv> Zweisteine: I'll open the computer tommorow and check it
[11:01] <Shaba1> but I will look fo rit
[11:01] <Zweisteine> Ziv, sorry, I can't help you with getting your ISA card working, but google around a bit about that. I'd also suggest buying a cheap PCI ethernet card, really.
[11:02] <Ar_Pharazon> Pricechild: Didn't work... What's more ubuntu started acting strange.
[11:02] <Ziv> Zweisteine: bie for now
[11:02] <Zweisteine> Ziv, if you have a free slot, of course.
[11:02] <Zweisteine> Ziv, bye.
[11:02] <Ar_Pharazon> Prcicechild: By the way, I had an ethernet problem before.
[11:02] <mike6546> how do i upgrade to gutsy?
[11:02] <Ziv> Zweisteine: yor'e right, I'm going out of town I'll need to remember to buy something
[11:03] <Ziv> Zweisteine: thx
[11:03] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, you said you were supposd to "burn" that partition, does it say that in the instructions that came with your computer?
[11:03] <hacknslash> mike6546: do not upgrade to gutsy yet
[11:03] <Zweisteine> Ziv, no problem.
[11:03] <hacknslash> mike6546: wait until later next month
[11:03] <mike6546> hacknslash: why not?
[11:03] <Ar_Pharazon> Prcicechild: Ubuntu took a minute and a half to boot, so I disabled auto eth1, auto eth2, and auto ath0 in etc/network/interfaces
[11:03] <Ar_Pharazon> Prcicechild: The guy who told me to do that said I'd need to enable them when I used ethernet
[11:03] <fliegenderfrosch> is there any reasonable way to synchronize an ipod with one specific folder? (except installing rockbox)
[11:03] <hacknslash> mike6546: it is currently in beta mode and prone to crashing
[11:04] <hacknslash> mike6546: it will be stable next month
[11:04] <Shaba1> they told me that when I called their so call tech support line
[11:04] <jearsh> does gparted format ntfs partitions?
[11:04] <Ar_Pharazon> Prcicechild: But now windows complains about limited connectivity and ubuntu can't even connect to my wi-fi router anymore.
[11:04] <hacknslash> mike6546: you will be told to install an upgrade manager
[11:04] <ImHated> Oh yeah, I am using Arch Linux right now.  Does Ubuntu have anything that might make me consider want to change to it?
[11:04] <ImHated> * to Ubuntu?
[11:04] <mike6546> hacknslash: when in october will it be out?
[11:04] <roadrunner> ImHated: yes, the package system
[11:05] <hacknslash> mike6546: 16th i think
[11:05] <roadrunner> you can remove with dependency check.
[11:05] <twocarlo> is there a way i can open .rar files in archive manager
[11:05] <Shaba1> Ok I did that fine but its giving me the linux and gparted iso files that i have on the C drive the one that will not boot
[11:05] <hacknslash> mike6546: you can download a live cd if you want to try it

[11:06] <musya> does anybody know a player or plugin for playing .wmv videos?
[11:06] <ubuntu_> hiiiiiiii
[11:06] <mindrape> Casperin - check /etc/fstab for its entry (file system table)
[11:06] <ubuntu_> i'm desperate
[11:06] <[nrx1> hacknslash: was just an observation till i get xchat back etc lol
[11:06] <mindrape> Casperin - additionally you can check dmesg to see if the mount point failed
[11:06] <soothsayer> musya: !restricted
[11:06] <ImHated> musya: I think there's a gstreamer plugin for that
[11:07] <twocarlo> is there a way i can open .rar files in ubuntu
[11:07] <soothsayer> !restricted | musya
[11:07] <ubuntu_> i had my ubuntu working fine
[11:07] <mindrape> twocarlo - unrar
[11:07] <ubotu> musya: 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
[11:07] <musya> ubuntu_: your in the wrong channel for that then
[11:07] <ubuntu_> and i installed the ati driver
[11:07] <ubuntu_> and now
[11:07] <hacknslash> [nrx1: lol
[11:07] <ubuntu_> it crashed..
[11:07] <Casperin> can't find any fstab
[11:07] <mindrape> Casperin - cat /etc/fstab
[11:07] <[nrx1> /ns ghost [nrx]  alig8or
[11:08] <magnetron> twocarlo: use synaptic to search for the unrar package, then install it
[11:08] <jimmygoon> Is cygwin/x faster than xming?
[11:08] <[nrx] > <---idiot
[11:08] <Casperin> mindrape - I'm not the sharpest yet with the terminal :(
[11:08] <Shaba1> It found no 8.iso files on there
[11:08] <Shaba1> I am screwed aren't I?
[11:08] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, please do prefix your messages with my name. Let's try to mount the recovery partitiona gain and see what files it contains
[11:08] <twocarlo> i just want to open an .rar file thats all
[11:08] <mindrape> Casperin - unfortunately Linux isn't _that_ friendly... you'll have to dip into the term every now and then... give Linux 3-5 more years and it will be ready for you.  :)
[11:09] <Casperin> hehe
[11:09] <Shaba1> I got it
[11:09] <Casperin> no, I'm learning.. I'm actually looking at it
[11:09] <dgjones> !rar | twocarlo
[11:09] <ubotu> twocarlo: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[11:09] <magnetron> twocarlo: yes. i understand. start Synaptic package manager, then install the unrar package
[11:09] <Casperin> mindrape: looks like there's an error
[11:09] <Shaba1> Zweistenine I have that listing up
[11:09] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, do this exactly: umount /media/winpart; umount /media/windisk; mkdir /media/nicepartition; mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /media/nicepartition; ls -al /media/nicepartition
[11:09] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, ok
[11:09] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, read it to me again please
[11:10] <Casperin> mindrape: so what do I do once I know there's an error? .. reinstall? heh
[11:10] <mindrape> Casperin - you wouldn't see errors in /etc/fstab... it could have instructions on what to do if it encounters an error.  dmesg would show you errors
[11:10] <mindrape> type dmesg then push SHIFT+PGUP
[11:10] <mindrape> SHIFT+PGDOWN too to scroll back and forth..
[11:10] <mindrape> Casperin - nah... just let us know what you find (type it here) and we can help troubleshoot
[11:11] <Shaba1> 01388.md5, MassStorage.log,stldr,win5lic.rc2,Autorun.inf,master.log

[11:11] <Shaba1> System Resotore,win5lip
[11:11] <Casperin> mindrape: to me that means there's an error :)
[11:11] <mindrape> Casperin - thats instructions for that device... in the event it encounters an error when mounting it then it will do whatever the error parameter says

[11:13] <CaBlGuY> anyone??
[11:13] <CaBlGuY> what folder are the program files in?  IE: So I can change a certain type of file association..
[11:13] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, if there's no ISO, then I don't think I can help you. You could try linux for a while, though!

[11:14] <Ar_Pharazon> Zweisteine: I don't know how to do it. So far I have tried: 1) install samba using synaptic. 2)do security=share in smb.conf 3) plug in the cable and expect it to just work.
[11:14] <CaBlGuY> all I need toknow is what folder the program files are in...
[11:15] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, I wasn't suggesting Linux because you can't use your computer, I was suggesting trying it as an experiment, while you wait for the rescue cd. You might like it. Are there any windows apps you feel bound to?
[11:15] <MattJ> CaBlGuY: What kind of files?
[11:15] <Ar_Pharazon> Zweisteine I've set my folder as shared in windows but I can't see it from the ubuntu side.

[11:16] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, you could rescue files from your windows partition by burning them to a disk, or copying them to a new partition. Do you want to do that?
[11:16] <Casperin> mindrape - I found the drive, and as far as I can see it doesn't report any errors on it.. but I'm not completely sure what I'm looking at
[11:16] <CaBlGuY> MattJ:  yea, I know that..  I need to know what folder the actual program files are in so i can change it myself..
[11:16] <Shaba1> I might do that

[11:21] <hacknslash> apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-gnonlin libdvdcss2 w32codecs
[11:21] <MattJ> CaBlGuY: What fooor? :) You will mess your system up if you move things like that around, it's not the correct way of doing things
[11:21] <hacknslash> apt-get install apt-get install totem-xine
[11:22] <Ar_Pharazon> Zweisteine I can ping windows from ubuntu, but ifconfig eth1's output doesn't have any IP addresses.
[11:22] <hacknslash> sams: these will play most types
[11:22] <wil000> hey, i need some quick help. i want to carry out a copy command on my server, and im using ssh, how can i close the ssh session on my computer, but still leave the command running?
[11:22] <Shaba1> I can now
[11:22] <sams> also video songs
[11:22] <Ar_Pharazon> Zweisteine By the way... Once it starts pinging, how do I make it stop?
[11:22] <sams> ???
[11:22] <hacknslash> wil000:
[11:22] <GIn> wil000, apend a "&" to the end of the command
[11:22] <Zweisteine> Ar_Pharazon, press ctrl+c
[11:22] <MattJ> wil000: You can use a program like 'screen', it is a virtual terminal within a terminal
[11:22] <hacknslash> wil000: you will need to use a program called screen
[11:22] <wil000> append?
[11:22] <Artimus> What package is "libtoolize" located in?  I can't locate a package and I lack the binary.  I can't compile a particular software program without it.
[11:23] <MattJ> commandname &
[11:23] <Ar_Pharazon> Zweisteine Ok, thanks. But ifconfig eth1's output still doesn't make sense.
[11:23] <hacknslash> sams: you want me to list some video apps and codecs ?
[11:23] <Shaba1> Zweisteine. Does that ubuntu live cd come with wine
[11:23] <EDinNY> wil000, if you want to come back to the machine and re-connect with that task, check out "screen"
[11:23] <Shaba1> ?
[11:23] <sams> hacknslash  the command u gave is not working
[11:23] <wil000> what does the & do?
[11:23] <EDinNY> call me slow but accurate
[11:23] <wil000> im checking out screen now thanks :D
[11:23] <[nrx] > !screen
[11:23] <ubotu> screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[11:23] <MattJ> wil000: sends it to the background
[11:23] <Ar_Pharazon> Zweisteine That is, to me. I'm kind of a n00b though, so that's not syaing much. But I didn't see an IP address there.
[11:23] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, no, but you can install it by typing apt-get install wine. You might need to enable some repositories though, I'm not sure
[11:23] <[nrx] > :)
[11:23] <CaBlGuY> MattJ:  yur no dam help at all..   :-/
[11:24] <Zweisteine> Ar_Pharazon, is eth1 your interface? What does eth0 say?
[11:24] <Pirate_Hunter> i need torrent clients anyone recommend anything for  gnome?
[11:24] <CaBlGuY> all I wanna do is open a stream with XMMS .. not that you needed to know that but there ya go..
[11:24] <Shaba1> I am thinking maybe I could run that recovery program under wine to resort the main partition
[11:24] <MattJ> CaBlGuY: In Terminal type: which xmms
[11:24] <Ar_Pharazon> Zweisteine Pretty much the same as eth0, but I don't have an eth0 entry in my /etc/network/interfaces file.
[11:24] <wil000> how do i use screen?
[11:24] <Zweisteine> Shaba1, You could try, I really doubt it would work though, try apt-get install wine
[11:24] <CaBlGuY> forget it..
[11:24] <MattJ> CaBlGuY: It should tell you where to find it :)
[11:24] <CaBlGuY> *rolls eyes*
[11:25] <[nrx] > :o
[11:25] <Jowi> CaBlGuY, what type of stream?
[11:25] <hacknslash> sams: look in provate chat

[11:28] <gabrielmonnerat> hamman which site you are catching the image/
[11:28] <Zweisteine> Ar_Pharazon, what did you type?
[11:28] <hamman> I did that Jowi but when I use infrarecorder to burn image no iso can be found from that download. What gives
[11:29] <Ar_Pharazon> Zweisteine sudo ifconfig eth1 169.254.227.7 netmask 255.255.0.0
[11:29] <Jowi> hamman, never heard of infrarecorder so no idea
[11:29] <pottervillain> tiekyl feel really thick as a newb to linux and the irc clients in winslows seem slightly easier
[11:29] <Ar_Pharazon> Zweisteine My windows pc's address is apparently 169.254.227.6
[11:29] <Zweisteine> Ar_Pharazon, try doing the same thing on eth0. If that doesn't work either, use an IP address like 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0, and on windows 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0.
[11:30] <hamman> its a cd burning program
[11:30] <rediz_> when installing ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build. what do iput for uname -r
[11:30] <Netham45> rm -rf /home/mikey/myshit

[11:31] <HotdogWater> google for deepburner
[11:31] <gabrielmonnerat> hamman, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[11:31] <dathui> hamman: if you are using nero you need to use burn image, not drag the files
[11:31] <tiekyl> pottervillian, to..distro apps. Yeah..I'm not much help. I might google it real quick. (Btw..what IRC client are you using?)
[11:31] <pottervillain> Konversation
[11:32] <pottervillain> used to use mirc under windows and it was ok.  trying get away from usin winslows
[11:32] <hamman> well I was using burn image with infrorecorder. Searched through all the files that were downloaded and none of them would show up as iso extention to burn an image from. weird I think. but will try again.

[11:39] <rediz_> ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

[11:47] <Stettin|work> is there any way I can boot straight ot the command line in Ubuntu, bypassing my startup scripts?
[11:48] <rediz_> cant change to dir where ndi file is to
[11:48] <Zweisteine> Stettin|work, I think passing "single" to the kernel would bypass those in the default runlevel
[11:48] <Zweisteine> Stettin|work, you'll get a root shell to do maintenance, if that's what you want.
[11:48] <Stettin|work> Zweisteine how would i do that at the boot screen?
[11:48] <BleedingMoon> Zweisteine: ??
[11:48] <tiekyl> pottervillain, have you tried just cd to wherever your exe file is and running "Wine filename.exe" ?
[11:48] <Stettin|work> i've picked recovery mode and it tries to execute my bad scripts
[11:49] <MenZa> tiekyl: "wine". It's case-sensitive :)
[11:49] <tiekyl> Menza..er..yea...Thanks
[11:49] <mmcdill> Can someone ehlp me with apache?
[11:49] <MenZa> tiekyl: np ;)
[11:49] <Zweisteine> Stettin|work, how are your bad scripts causing the system to fail?
[11:49] <MenZa> !apache | mmcdill
[11:49] <ubotu> mmcdill: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[11:49] <tiekyl> ^^''
[11:49] <pottervillain> tiekyl no m8 the beer is clouding my judgement
[11:49] <Stettin|work> like right now I have a blinking cursor (text mode) after my script failed, can I cancel running the scripts and skip to the command line?
[11:50] <hacknslash> rediz_: please do lspci from a terminal
[11:50] <Zweisteine> Stettin|work, try control+c
[11:50] <tiekyl> pottervillian, if you didnt notice 2, wine isnt capitalized.
[11:50] <Stettin|work> no dice :(
[11:50] <Stettin|work> i'll try rebooting and hit ctrl c before it hits
[11:50] <tiekyl> pottervillian, and..gl figuring stuff out with beer in ur system ;-)

[11:53] <Crustacean-bob> bleedingmoon: try sudo apt-get install skype, what do you get?
[11:53] <Ar-Pharazon> Zweisteine I can pick "Do not share" or "Windows networks (SMB)"
[11:53] <Drakimor> 9507 votes for yes
[11:53] <Zweisteine> Ar-Pharazon, go for SMB then.
[11:53] <hacknslash> rediz_: can you see a new session started in your chat program ?:?
[11:53] <Yasumoto> Fluffy-Wuffy: haha :)
[11:53] <Ar-Pharazon> Zweisteine I did
[11:53] <pottervillain> tiekyl u have more fun this way
[11:53] <rediz_> no
[11:54] <MenZa> jrib: Hmm, I've edited both /etc/mpd.conf and ~/.mpdconf to use my Music folder, but when I try to view my collection in gmpc, I get nothing.
[11:54] <pottervillain> tiekyl lol
[11:54] <MenZa> jrib: And yes, I did run sudo /etc/init.d/mpd restart
[11:54] <BleedingMoon> Crustacean-bob: Reading package lists... Done
[11:54] <jonnymac> what's the ubuntu equivalent of say utorrent?
[11:54] <BleedingMoon> Building dependency tree
[11:54] <BleedingMoon> Reading state information... Done
[11:54] <BleedingMoon> E: Couldn't find package skype
[11:54] <tiekyl> pottervillian, lol, I guess so. Hows it coming?
[11:54] <Stettin|work> zweisteine, still hangs on the script
[11:54] <jrib> MenZa: did you tell mpd to update the library?
[11:54] <MenZa> !paste | BleedingMoon
[11:54] <MenZa> jrib: Hmm, no, I did not
[11:54] <ubotu> BleedingMoon: 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)
[11:54] <Stettin|work> ok I messed up my installation somehow by moving a bad script to /bin/sh, when I boot I get ---Unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rcS: Permission denied<cr> rcS main process (2787) terminated with status 255, I tried accessingn /bin/sh from my live cd but the directory doesn't seem to exist, any suggestions here?
[11:54] <MenZa> jrib: I figured it'd do that when it reloaded
[11:54] <Drakimor> Has anyone gotten beryl working on 7.04?
[11:54] <Ar-Pharazon> Zweisteine I can only see my windows stuff on the windows pc
[11:54] <erUSUL> !skype | BleedingMoon
[11:54] <ubotu> BleedingMoon: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[11:54] <Zweisteine> Stettin|work, do you know which script is causing this failure?
[11:54] <Stettin|work> i'm pretty sure yes
[11:55] <Zweisteine> Stettin|work,  boot a livecd and remove execute permission on it
[11:55] <MenZa> that did it, jrib
[11:55] <Stettin|work> the problem is the livecd doesn't show /bin/sh
[11:55] <Stettin|work> says it doesnt exist
[11:55] <MenZa> jrib: sudo mpd --create-db :)
[11:55] <Jowi> Stettin|work, /bin/sh is not a directory. it's a symlink to /bin/dash in at least edgy.
[11:55] <Stettin|work> hmm
[11:55] <hacknslash> rediz_: type /hacknslash
[11:55] <Stettin|work> ok what about feisty
[11:55] <Crustacean-bob> bleedingmon: although its not recommended I used automatix2 to install skype, worked fine I would suggest un-installing automatix after you get skype
[11:55] <Crustacean-bob> bleedingmoon:
[11:55] <gabrielmonnerat> hi! i have a problem with fone in skype
[11:55] <BleedingMoon> ?
[11:56] <Ar-Pharazon> Scarmiglione (12:44 AM):
[11:56] <Ar-Pharazon> Hmm, tamam.
[11:56] <Ar-Pharazon> Scarmiglione (12:51 AM):
[11:56] <Ar-Pharazon> Simdi yazdiklarimi almadigini varsayip bastan yazmaliyim herhalde.
[11:56] <orchid`> so no one knows how i can grabb the music files from the vista, which i can play in my media player on my amd64 feisty fawn, without going through another medium?
[11:56] <pottervillain> tiekyl slowly.  more due to the amount of alcohol when i have these great ideas
[11:56] <Ar-Pharazon> oops sorry
[11:56] <Crustacean-bob> bleedingmoon: although its not recommended I used automatix2 to install skype, worked fine I would suggest un-installing automatix after you get skype
[11:56] <gabrielmonnerat> Crustacean-bob , why un-installing automatix after you get skype?
[11:56] <Zweisteine> Ar-Pharazon, I think it would be easier if you copied the files you wanted to your windows computer's writeable network share  from your ubuntu
[11:56] <rediz_> ./hacknslah
[11:56] <Stettin|work> learn something every day
[11:56] <rediz_> #/hacknslah
[11:56] <Ar-Pharazon> zweisteine Ah, ok. That'll do perfectly. Thanks a lot.
[11:56] <Yasumoto> orchid: do you have ubuntu and vista installed on the same hard drive?
[11:56] <rediz_> in terminal or irc
[11:56] <BleedingMoon> Crustacean-bob: im noob in linux. guide me.
[11:57] <erUSUL> orchid`: are the files shared? i mean with does the folder holding the files show up in Places>Network ??
[11:57] <hacknslash> rediz_: /query hacknslash
[11:57] <rediz_> in terminal or irc
[11:57] <Crustacean-bob> !automatix | gaberielmonnerat
[11:57] <ubotu> gaberielmonnerat: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[11:57] <progek> Hi, anyone know the command for checking which kind of hard drive I have? I have a feeling it needs to be replaced soon.
[11:57] <gabrielmonnerat> !automatix
[11:57] <Stettin|work> what would be the command to find my script, ls ar.sh -d or something?
[11:57] <Crustacean-bob> Bleedingmoon: www.getautomatix.com
[11:57] <Stettin|work> or locate?
[11:57] <jrib> Stettin|work: what do you mean?
[11:57] <orchid`> yasumoto: no it is through a lan connection this hdd is a ubuntu only. however on this lan connection to the internet, i am also peer conected to a vista
[11:58] <orchid`> i want the music files.
[11:58] <Crustacean-bob> Click installation it will guide you through
[11:58] <Zweisteine> Ar-Pharazon, great :)
[11:58] <Stettin|work> i know the name of my script that is bad, it's ar.sh
[11:58] <Ar-Pharazon> zweisteine One more thing, in /etc/network/interfaces, should I comment out eth1/eth2/ath1 when I'm done?
[11:58] <Stettin|work> just need to find it on my HD
[11:58] <pottervillain> tiekyl lbrb thnx 4 ure help
[11:58] <jrib> Stettin|work: sure, locate would work if the locate database is up to date (updatedb updates is)
[11:58] <jrib> s/is/it
[11:58] <Stettin|work> not sure that would work on a livecd boot, will it?
[11:58] <Zweisteine> Ar-Pharazon, sure, since you're actually using eth0. You could add an entry for it there if you want to use it more easily from now on
[11:59] <progek> is there a command for getting the specs on my HDD?
[11:59] <orchid`> the files ar eindeed shared ( he files from vista) i want to copy them into my library. how do i get that done and if you can read this please pm me its ahrd to find the posts to me n this haze
[11:59] <hacknslash> rediz_: nevermind, when you did lspci did you see a line of text, which said network card
[11:59] <s_v_e_n> Stettin|work: else find would di the job: find / -name xyz
[11:59] <jrib> BleedingMoon: there is no need for automatix, and it's dangerous to use
[11:59] <Crustacean-bob> Bleedingmoon: what do you have an amd or i386?
[11:59] <BleedingMoon> amd
[11:59] <Stettin|work> k thanks
[11:59] <BleedingMoon> 64
[11:59] <jrib> Crustacean-bob: don't recommend automatix please
[11:59] <adrian> progek: sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda
[11:59] <Zweisteine> Stettin|work, your script should be somewhere in /etc/rcS.d if running in recovery mode won't stop it from loading
[11:59] <progek> adrian, thanks
[11:59] <BleedingMoon> jrib: what is ur sulotion
[11:59] <Ar-Pharazon> zweisteine What kind of entry would it be and how would it be easier? Oh, and, what are the other two eth's for? My laptop only has 1 ethernet port.
[11:59] <rediz_> no it isnt seeing it
[11:59] <Zweisteine> Zweisteine, I think.
[12:00] <jrib> BleedingMoon: what are you trying to do?
[12:00] <Zweisteine> Whoops. Sorry
[12:00] <BleedingMoon> install skype
[12:00] <Crustacean-bob> I was only reccommending it to install skype, then uninstall
[12:00] <hacknslash> rediz_: is it a usb one ?
[12:00] <jrib> !skype > BleedingMoon (read the private message from ubotu)
[12:00] <larson99> for the love all that's good
[12:00] <jrib> Crustacean-bob: uninstalling doesn't undo anything though
[12:00] <vader1102> who was askin command for hdd specs... it is df-h
[12:00] <vader1102> df -h
[12:00] <rediz_> no pcmcia
[12:00] <Crustacean-bob> Ahh
[12:01] <Zweisteine> Ar-Pharazon, It would be easier in the sense that next time you want to share files, you wouldn't have to set up this connection again. And I don't know about the other ports. Do you have a firewire port?
[12:01] <progek> vader1102 thanks
[12:01] <Zweisteine> ports -> interfaces.
[12:01] <hacknslash> rediz_: ah
[12:01] <Ar-Pharazon> zweisteine Yes
[12:01] <vader1102> progek, yw
[12:01] <Stettin|work> .. /bin/dash doesn't exist
[12:01] <rediz_> wot?
[12:01] <BleedingMoon> jrib: when i use skype repository,i get skype into my package manager?
[12:02] <Zweisteine> Ar-Pharazon, I don't, so I'm not sure if it would be recognised as an ethernet card. Try lspci and see what you have there
[12:02] <jrib> BleedingMoon: you need to use the special instructions for amd64
[12:02] <BleedingMoon> yeah
[12:02] <BleedingMoon> i got it now
[12:02] <hacknslash> rediz_: please try dmesg from the terminal
[12:02] <Zweisteine> I'm off to sleep, Ar-Pharazon - If you still need help, I'll be around here tomorrow
[12:03] <Ar-Pharazon> zweisteine Ok, thanks
[12:03] <Ar-Pharazon> zweisteine G'night
[12:03] <Zweisteine> bye all
[12:03] <Stettin|work> so, assuming i moved a bad script to /bin/sh when booted, where would it be in on a livecd in Feisty Fawn?
