[12:04] <heguru> MrPink: oh i am back and free
[12:04] <Matt189> scarborough: you can't log-in in commandline?
[12:04] <heguru> MrPink: join me in #ubuntu-video
[12:04] <MrPink> ah great :)
[12:04] <scguy318> scarborough: well, you can wget the Nvidia installer
[12:04] <scguy318> scarborough: lemme find the URL
[12:05] <scarborough> Matt189: yeah I can
[12:05] <scguy318> scarborough: or, if you're desperate for a working X, then just sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, selecting vesa for displayer driver
[12:05] <Arsanerit> !pidgin
[12:05] <nickrud> kaos_: seahorse does it for me (might be a gutsy thing, though)
[12:05] <ubotu> 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. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0
[12:05] <scarborough> scguy318: its ok, I can do some light work from the X.
[12:05] <HyperCity> i'm tryng to compile a plugin for gimp 2.3 but i get this Package gimp-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. what is the sintax for the makefile?
[12:06] <kaos_> nickrud can you elaborate?
[12:06] <AaronMT> !openbox
[12:06] <ubotu> openbox is a lightweight window manager. For instructions and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox. To replace metacity with Openbox please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReplaceMetacityWithOpenbox
[12:06] <scguy318> scarborough: wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/100.14.19/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run
[12:06] <fyrestrtr> HyperCity: you probably want gimp-dev packages
[12:06] <andrew____> ok i read through the official ubuntu webcam page.  it wasn't very helpful.  my webcam isn't listed on easycam.  from the berlios.de site, i think i need to have the V4L.2 driver installed.  how do i check if i have this driver?  does anyone know about UVC webcams/
[12:06] <scguy318> scarboroguh: then just chmod +x the .run file, then ./NVIDIA....run
[12:06] <TUXedomember> i need help setting up remote desktop
[12:06] <scguy318> scarborough: you could try envy, but there's a very real risk of having it seriously screw up your xorg.conf
[12:06] <scguy318> !envy | scarborough
[12:06] <ubotu> scarborough: 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!
[12:06] <nickrud> kaos_: the app seahorse (under apps-accessories, called passwords etc.) has a tab for passwords, my wpa key is there
[12:07] <andrew____> also when i go to camorama it says that it could not locate device /dev/video0
[12:07] <kritzstapf> when im booting the -server kernel, loading the initrd results in "error 16: inconsistent filesystem structure", .. the gerenic kernel runs fine..?
[12:07] <scarborough> scguy318: hrm, then I might want to use the drivers you gave me :S
[12:07] <kaos_> nickrud i cant see it there but im running 7.04
[12:08] <scarborough> scguy318: so I just run those commands you gave me ?
[12:08] <HyperCity> fyrestrtr: i have no dev pakages for gimp in synaptic
[12:08] <bulmer> kritzstapf: maybe you have to do a repair with fsck on the server kernel
[12:08] <TUXedomember> how do i set up remote desktop?
[12:08] <scguy318> scarborough: yes
[12:09] <kritzstapf> bulmer: how to do that?
[12:09] <scguy318> scarborough: if you want to be able to easily remove the Nvidia driver the installer provides
[12:09] <scguy318> scarborough: then I guess Envy at your own risk
[12:09] <scarborough> scguy318: doesnt sound very safe to use Envy
[12:09] <bruenig> not a good idea
[12:09] <kaos_> nickrud : ive added it in add remove lets see if it works
[12:10] <scguy318> scarborough: I've never had problems using it, but since a lot of people have advised otherwise
[12:10] <nickrud> kaos_: ok, it's in the newer seahorse then. I would think that gpg might be able to read the keyrings in ~/.gnome2/keyrings, but have never tried
[12:10] <scguy318> scarborough: then you may wish to weigh your options
[12:10] <HyperCity> fyrestrtr: the syntax is like this: make --include-dir=/usr/lib/gimp2.0 ?
[12:10] <bulmer> kritzstapf: where is this file stored at?
[12:10] <scarborough> scguy318: chmod +x then the .run file find the ./NVIDIA folder and the .runfile again? thing thats simple enough
[12:10] <TUXedomember> how do i set up remote desktop
[12:10] <kritzstapf> bulmer: /boot of course
[12:11] <daedalus> hi, how can i get libcurses library for ubuntu?
[12:11] <fyrestrtr> HyperCity: I don't know, you'd have to check the readme
[12:11] <scguy318> scarborough: after you wgetted, you should have one file with an extension of run (don't want to write the whole thing)
[12:11] <scguy318> scarborough: so do chmod +x *.run (to save the typing) then do sh *.run
[12:11] <gustavo> whats the best way to secure apache? chroot it mannually or using libapache2-mod-chroot?
[12:12] <nickrud> HyperCity: try libgimp2.0-dev
[12:12] <kritzstapf> gustavo: using lighttpd :P
[12:12] <gustavo> kritzstapf: whats it?
[12:12] <scarborough> scguy: ah okey, as simple as that? :)
[12:12] <kritzstapf> gustavo: its a webserver
[12:12] <gustavo> but i need to use apache ;P
[12:12] <scguy318> scarborough: should be, yes
[12:13] <kritzstapf> bulmer: hum?
[12:13] <HyperCity> nickrud: thx
[12:13] <scarborough> scguy318: thx, if I f*ck up then Ill pest you some more :) but I hope not
[12:13] <scguy318> scarborough: kk np

[12:15] <nickrud> daedalus: rule of thumb when trying to get development headers:   put a lib on the front, then aptitude search  <construct> | grep dev
[12:15] <genis> Buenas tux,
[12:15] <scguy318> genis: yo puedo hablar espanol un poco
[12:15] <oem> can somebody help me install steam on ubuntu with wine?

I have to fight it with my mouse to keep it up high....how do I fix this?
[12:16] <scguy318> oem: what Wine version? and have you tried the AppDb guide (lemme find)
[12:16] <genis> gracias, estoy con el ubuntu 5.10, y no puedo actualizarlo, s, que no tiene continuidad, pero no existe ningun ftp, o similar, para obtener actualizaciones?

[12:17] <genis> ok, gracias
[12:17] <scguy318> oem: what does wine --version give you?
[12:17] <bulmer> kritzstapf: did you run mkinitrd once you created the server kernel?
[12:17] <scguy318> oem: and please read this: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1554
[12:17] <oem> scguy318: lemme check
[12:17] <kritzstapf> bulmer: i think this is done automatically
[12:17] <Scunizi> johnficc1, you might have to mess with "sound devices" in Skype.. The older version allowed you to turn off echo cancellation and adjust the mic.. if I remember correctly.
[12:17] <oem> scguy318: it gave me an error couldn't find c:\\windows
[12:18] <daedalus> nickrud: oh ok, i got it, do you know where i can find the lcurses file? i used google and it says its a file from libcurses library, apparently i have the libcurses-perl and libcurses-ruby libraries, but not the libcurse libraries
[12:18] <scguy318> oem: do wine -v
[12:18] <Ltar> I think my grub installation has been corrupted. My computer was set up to boot XP and 7.04 with grub on a single SATA 350gb HDD. Grub no longer loads. running an AMD64 7.04 live CD right now. how can I restore grub? If nessecary, I can download and burn any other ubuntu CD.
[12:18] <bulmer> kritzstapf: well maybe you need to run it so it wil correct the differences between your system and the system its compiled from?
[12:18] <scguy318> genis: do you know how to join another channel?
[12:18] <oem> scguy318: gave the same error
[12:18] <scguy318> genis: n/m
[12:19] <scguy318> oem: you sure wine --version doesn't work?
[12:19] <bulmer> Ltar: maybe grub-install will repair it.. man grub-install
[12:19] <oem> Ltar: you have xp it breaks everything
[12:19] <Scunizi> Ltar, go to http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm.. I've used it many times and keep a printout in a file.. works great.
[12:19] <oem> scguy318: yes i'm sure
[12:20] <scguy318> oem: strange, well, have you installed the wine package?
[12:20] <scguy318> oem: dumb question, I think you already have
[12:20] <Scunizi> Ltar, and since you're booted to a live cd, it's perfect timing!
[12:20] <aredhel> daedalus, you want libncurses
[12:20] <oem> scguy318: yes of course i have
[12:20] <scguy318> oem: perhaps there is an issue with Wine Doors, have you tried following the AppDb guide I linked you to?
[12:20] <scguy318> oem: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1554
[12:21] <oem> scguy318: i'll take a look at it thanks gotta go...

[12:23] <maria> i am u sing the nvidia restricted driver
[12:23] <hmhowie> daedalus: is there an ncurses-dev packet in the repositories?
[12:23] <jnz_> hi guys
[12:23] <scguy318> hmhowie: think so, libncurses5-dev or something like that
[12:23] <user_> I have gdk installed. Including its development files. I included "gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h" which gcc found. Howver it won't find any other gtk headers. Why?
[12:24] <daedalus> hmhowie: hi man... i tried to do an apt-get libncurses5-dev and it says it cant find it
[12:24] <aredhel> daedalus, I am not running ubuntu but libncurses5-dev is mostlikely what you want to install.
[12:24] <razer> hello, I have a little problem while trying to install ubuntu. I have not yet installed ubuntu, only booted from livecd (7.04). My dilemma is this: I have one s-ata hdd and two ide hdds and only the s-ata disk shows up in gnome partition editor. All drives are detected by bios and are running just fine in XP (which is currently installed on the s-ata hdd). As I do not wish to delete windows and find out that I cannot access my other hdds I
[12:24] <razer> have not yet done anything.
[12:24] <jnz_> why ubuntu doesn't recognize webcam of my acer aspire 5710? camorama tell me that there isn't device :(
[12:24] <openminddj> hello...need some help here.  I was disabling beryl from my session startup, clicked on the save session button when everything was just right, and now when i try to log on...i get a splash screen with about 9 metacity icons.  Eventually I get kicked back to the login page.  Other users are fine so it's just this one...how can i recover from this?
[12:24] <hmhowie> daedalus: try an apt-cache search libncurses
[12:24] <Asathoor> hi I have some GRUB problems. Must there be both a / and a /boot and a /swap - or just a / and a /swap
[12:25] <scguy318> daeadalus: Ubuntu Feisty has libncurses5-dev
[12:25] <user_> How do I reinstall GDK?
[12:26] <daedalus> hmhowie: thanks man! it is working, im downloading it right now, THANKS EVERYBODY.
[12:26] <daedalus> i hope it is what i need
[12:26] <Asathoor> user_ >> u could choose an alternative
[12:26] <Ltar> i've been meaning to change to amd64 ubuntu for some time, anyways. will running the install application from this CD allow me to set up grub with XP already on the drive?
[12:26] <user_> Asathoor: What do you mean?
[12:26] <razer> anyone?
[12:27] <user_> Asathoer: I need gdk for my opengl project.
[12:27] <jnz_> just question
[12:27] <Asathoor> Ltar >> it will work, but some applications are hard to run, like skype e.g.
[12:27] <jugimaster> I'm a new Linux user..    -  Not all of my HDDs are mounted.   Is Ubuntu supposed to automatically mount all the drives it can find?    ..  By the way, the installation programs (of both Debian and Ubuntu) did not see all drives either ,  but they all show up normally in Windows
[12:27] <bulmer> Asathoor: only / and a /swap
[12:27] <kahrytan> Anyone know the name of the security firm that shows security holes for different software?
[12:27] <Ltar> Asathoor: I mostly use ubuntu for coding or basic functions, i'm not worried about skype.
[12:27] <scguy318> jugimaster: if you pop open Nautilus, you can mount partitions via double-click
[12:28] <scguy318> jugimaster: I think
[12:28] <Ltar> Asathoor: i9'm going to try it
[12:28] <scguy318> jugimaster: what parts are not mounting?
[12:28] <jugimaster> sc: Nautilus.. ?  will it be able to see all my disks then?
[12:28] <AaronMT> !nautilus > jugimaster
[12:28] <Asathoor> Ltar >> ok, then it should work. But I had problems when windows crashed, and then my bootloader went bananas
[12:28] <daedalus> THANKS EVERYBODY
[12:29] <jugimaster> I can see some drives(?) like /dev/sda, /dev/sdb2 and so on, but for example fdisk doesn't want to touch them if i try "fdisk -l sda"
[12:29] <scguy318> jugimaster: Nautilus is GNOME's file manager
[12:29] <daedalus> it worked
[12:29] <jugimaster> i'll check it out
[12:29] <godlygeek> so, i just did an apt-get upgrade, haven't rebooted, and if i log into then out of a tty the getty process doesn't respawn.  that doesn't seem right.  :)
[12:29] <scguy318> jugimaster: what partitions are not mounting? if NTFS perhaps ntfs-config or /etc/fstab tweaking
[12:29] <micky> hello, anyone in the mood to explain how should i redirect 80 / 443 / 5050 traffic through the 2nd gateway i have on my box ? ( i've been trying to get this done for at least 2 months now using A: 2 routing tables and source ip based policy routing / B: 4 ehternet cards using the same approach as A / C: squid + outgoing_address setting / D: iptables with mangle & mark packets + ip route tables) but with barely any success. ( what i have are 2 adsl lines and i w
[12:29] <Asathoor> someone asked for security, try here http://secunia.com/information_partner/anonymous/o.rss
[12:29] <godlygeek> i'm running gutsy, but hoping it's not a gutsy specific problem, and that it can be fixed w/o a reboot.
[12:30] <jugimaster> i think two of three hard-drives are mounting
[12:30] <jugimaster> but the third one is not
[12:30] <bottiger> hmm - suddenly my internet stopped working in ubuntu. eth0 exists (but don't have any IP), and running "/etc/init.d/networking restart" doesn't do anything
[12:30] <scguy318> jugimaster: are all the drives listed in Nautilus?
[12:30] <jugimaster> where is nautilus.. ? :P   should i start it from the terminal?
[12:30] <bottiger> how do I debug this?
[12:30] <Crozar> i cant figure out how to make windows xp work on ubuntu i got the Wine and my winxp cd what next ?
[12:30] <jugimaster> sorry i haven't got that far yet :P
[12:30] <bulmer> bottiger: did you reboot?
[12:30] <scguy318> jugimaster: just double click a folder ;)
[12:30] <blessid> Crozar: ROFL
[12:30] <bottiger> bulmer: yup
[12:30] <scguy318> jugimaster: it's just the little file manager window that pops up
[12:30] <daedalus> thanks everybody, later
[12:31] <Asathoor> nautilus - just click places
[12:31] <jugimaster> oh ok
[12:31] <jugimaster> let's see
[12:31] <bulmer> bottiger: what does ip a  shows?
[12:31] <AaronMT> Crozar, what is it you are trying to do?
[12:31] <Asathoor> choose documents ... or whatever
[12:31] <micky> Crozar run XP on ubuntu with wine ? lol? you`ll need an emulator to run an os on linux just like on windows you need ( vmware or other app like that )
[12:31] <Crozar> to put winxp on the 2nd cube
[12:31] <jugimaster> umm well if you mean if all of them show up in the file browser, the answer is no
[12:31] <Crozar> and 3rd cube Mac OS X
[12:31] <jugimaster> i would have noticed.. :)
[12:31] <Crozar> 2 cubes for ubuntu :D
[12:31] <bottiger> bulmer: no IP shows up
[12:32] <bulmer> bottiger: any interface showing up at all?
[12:32] <openminddj> ANY IDEAS --->  hello...need some help here.  I was disabling beryl from my session startup, clicked on the save session button when everything was just right, and now when i try to log on...i get a splash screen with about 9 metacity icons.  Eventually I get kicked back to the login page.  Other users are fine so it's just this one...how can i recover from this?
[12:32] <AaronMT> !dual boot > Crozar
[12:32] <Asathoor> when booting do I need both a / and a /boot partition?
[12:32] <bottiger> bulmer: yes - both eth0 and eth1
[12:32] <Pici> Crozar: Wine is not a windows xp emulator, its an api layer for running windows programs, not the OS itself.
[12:32] <jugimaster> scguy318: if i try to use the mount command,  will i need to know the correct partition type for what i'm trying to mount?    ..  there's some empty space on the third disk too, so i was hoping i could maybe make a new partition on it!
[12:32] <blessid> emulating two other operating systems sounds like a waste of time
[12:32] <scguy318> jugimaster: mm, can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l
[12:32] <Crozar> i dont want dual boot , im a nazi to microsoft
[12:32] <bottiger> ...and the loopback device of course
[12:32] <scguy318> jugimaster: and no
[12:32] <scguy318> !pastebin | jugimaster
[12:32] <ubotu> jugimaster: 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)
[12:32] <scguy318> jugimaster: if you want them to mount on boot, you can just add an fstab entry
[12:33] <bulmer> bottiger: static ip address or dynamic?
[12:33] <Pici> Crozar: We'd appreciate if you didnt use that term that way.
[12:33] <scarborough> scguy: sorry... Im back
[12:33] <Crozar> i want Wine to start some things forexample , o2jam and some win installing games
[12:33] <bulmer> bottiger: wireless?
[12:33] <bottiger> bulmer: dynamic, but it only changes about once a month
[12:33] <AaronMT> Wine is not an emulator
[12:33] <Crozar> what does it do ?
[12:33] <osmosis> how do I figure what package owns a particular file ?
[12:33] <bottiger> bulmer: no - they are both wired NIC's. but only eyh0 is connected
[12:33] <pipegeek> dpkg -S
[12:33] <bulmer> bottiger: is your router to the isp working okay?
[12:33] <godlygeek> osmosis: dpkg -S
[12:33] <pipegeek> osmosis: dpkg -S /path/to/file
[12:33] <bottiger> bulmer: yup - it works from windows
[12:33] <osmosis> cool
[12:34] <scguy318> scarborough: what is it now?
[12:34] <jugimaster> scguy318: OK try this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38297/
[12:34] <Pici> !wine | Crozar
[12:34] <ubotu> Crozar: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:34] <jonnymac> how do I run deborphan
[12:34] <bulmer> bottiger: can you switch the cables and see if it makes a difference?
[12:34] <jonnymac> please
[12:34] <Crozar> with virtual machine will i be having the latest nvidia drivers ? rather then using ubuntu for the time being in the full screen worksspace
[12:34] <jugimaster> scguy318: that's two out of three drives :)
[12:34] <jugimaster> but i have no idea what the third drive's name would be
[12:34] <scguy318> jugimaster: i see three partitions
[12:34] <bottiger> bulmer: it doesn't (already done that)
[12:35] <scguy318> jugimaster: excluding the swap
[12:35] <Crozar> compatibility? it havent run All Seeing Eyes or Safari browser :S whats compatible about it?
[12:35] <Say10> Deluge zwns
[12:35] <jugimaster> yes
[12:35] <scarborough> scguy: it said I didnt have the libc development package, and then said I should be in runlevel 3
[12:35] <jugimaster> one of the two disks is only one partition
[12:35] <godlygeek> where does ubuntu have its inittab now that it uses upstart?  i remember something being odd about it...  :)
[12:35] <jugimaster> the other has more
[12:35] <pipegeek> jonnymac: what do you mean, how do you run it?
[12:35] <scguy318> scarborough: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:35] <scguy318> scarborough: runlevel 3? just boot in recovery mode
[12:35] <jugimaster> that paste site is nice :)
[12:35] <pipegeek> jonnymac: If it's installed, you should just be able to type 'deborphan' in a shell
[12:35] <scguy318> jugimaster: you want r/w for your NTFS? sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[12:35] <rowad> I tried to create an extra partition in XP with Partition Magic but after restart I've got blue screen - can't boot XP anymore; and from Ubuntu I can not mount this partition nor resize it... how can I fix this?
[12:35] <bulmer> bottiger: well things do go bad, look under /proc/sys/net see if any of that interfaces are there or maybe even dmesg
[12:36] <osmosis> how do i automatically generate a  menu.lst ?
[12:36] <scguy318> jugimaster: then simply run the NTFS Configuration Utility in System -> Administration
[12:36] <scarborough> scguy: Ok, Ill give that a go.
[12:36] <scguy318> rowad: looks like Partition Magic bewitched your NTFS part, um
[12:36] <jugimaster> scguy318: i've already installed ntfs-3g and ntfs-config,  but if i run NTFS Config,  i don't get a list of drives :x
[12:36] <bottiger> bulmer: could you be more specific?
[12:36] <Ltar> how can I change the permissions on my external USB HDD from a live CD, in order to back up some things before I reinstall ubuntu?
[12:36] <scguy318> rowad: testdisk?
[12:36] <scguy318> rowad: get your datas out
[12:36] <bulmer> bottiger: does dmesg show your interface? try also lspci
[12:37] <scarborough> scguy: If it doesnt work, I was in recoverymode, how do I change runlevel
[12:37] <Crozar> ok lpease somebody tell me why people still want windows? * rather then gaming ...
[12:37] <rowad> testdisk is where?
[12:37] <scguy318> jugimaster: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009, the manual method
[12:37] <Say10> they know windows
[12:37] <scguy318> rowad: sudo apt-get install testdisk, cmd-line, its a data recovery tool
[12:37] <Ltar> or rather, how can I figure out the name of the hard drive, so that I can chmod it?
[12:37] <bottiger> bulmer: hmm - maybe. But I need to boot into linux to see
[12:37] <scguy318> Ltar: is your HDD NTFS?
[12:38] <Crozar> because they know windows but not know this  , some people compare linux as nintendo wii and windows as ps3 i say the opposite , we are power
[12:38] <bottiger> bulmer: anything else you would suggest doing while i'm there?
[12:38] <Ltar> scguy318: oh crap I forgot about that.
[12:38] <bulmer> bottiger: look into /proc/sys/net/conf
[12:38] <scguy318> Ltar: if you have internet access, sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[12:38] <bulmer> bottiger: look into /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf rather
[12:38] <scguy318> Ltar: or really sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[12:38] <scguy318> Ltar: then you can do NTFS Config Utility
[12:38] <kahrytan> Ltar, and you can install software while running livecd
[12:39] <bottiger> bulmer: okey - thanks
[12:39] <Ltar> scguy318: im talking to you over IRC. I've got the tubes. awsome. I didn't think you could install to a livecd
[12:39] <kahrytan> ltar, installs to memory
[12:40] <bulmer> scguy318: where will the installed package go ?
[12:40] <orangefly_> dumb question....how do i launch ie after installing ie4linux....???....
[12:40] <scguy318> Ltar: it would install into the ramfs filesystem the LiveCD runs off on
[12:40] <Ltar> scguy318: can't find package, do I need to activate the universe/multiverse?
[12:40] <kahrytan> orangefly, better question. Why do you need ie on linux?
[12:40] <scguy318> Ltar: if its not already enabled, yes
[12:41] <scguy318> orangefly_: there should be a nice desktop icon, in Terminal just ie6
[12:41] <Ltar> scguy318: cool. thanks
[12:41] <jugimaster> scguy318: OK, well, ntfs-config said it was remounting my "internal drives"..   I just checked the first checkbox and said "OK", since nothing else showed up :)   How can I check if the partitions now use ntfs-3g instead of plain ntfs ?
[12:41] <kahrytan> orangefly, why dont you just use vmware w/ windows for that
[12:42] <scguy318> jugimaster: type mount in command-line
[12:42] <osmosis> /boot/grub/menu.lst   doesnt exist?  what do I run to have it created?
[12:42] <Kamikura> wow im connected :)
[12:42] <orangefly_> kahrytan: i can't get sopcast to work right....thought ie would work better....
[12:43] <kahrytan> Ltar, ntfs-3g is universe package
[12:43] <jugimaster> scguy318: their type is now "fuseblk"
[12:43] <scguy318> jugimaster: jugimaster: yes, ntfs-3g is mounting your drives
[12:43] <scguy318> jugimaster: and oops
[12:43] <jugimaster> scguy318: come to think of it..   i've got a torrent running, and i have a feeling that might be a small problem for remounting drives.. ? :P
[12:43] <sgtmattbaker> anyone know where I can go to talk about writing English essays
[12:43] <sgtmattbaker> ?
[12:43] <scguy318> jugimaster: i would think it's running off your ext3
[12:43] <Keitaro> err, not to be off topic but is there a chat room for windows xp support?
[12:43] <Pici> Keitaro: ##windows
[12:44] <jugimaster> scguy318: ohh right..  a good point :D
[12:44] <Ltar> sgtmattbaker: class :)
[12:44] <scguy318> sgtmattbaker: not here :P seriously, prob dunno #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:44] <Keitaro> Pici: thnx :)
[12:44] <scguy318> !offtopic
[12:44] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:44] <scguy318> jugimaster: so all good?
[12:44] <jugimaster> scguy318:  for the moment, i guess..   but i'm having weird network problems too
[12:44] <rempresent> this is odd, I just installed ubuntu on this emachine pc that was donated to me, it ran the graphics fine until i updated and restarted
[12:44] <jugimaster> scguy318: thank you for the help! :)
[12:45] <rempresent> is there anyway to determine what graphics this motherboard has
[12:45] <scguy318> jugimaster: np, what network issues
[12:45] <scguy318> rempresent: lspci or glxinfo
[12:45] <rempresent> other than looking at it
[12:45] <allos> Enter hi!!!!can anybody help me with the ubuntu installation???
[12:45] <chrisbudden14> hey there, is there a way to change the default icon size for the desktop?
[12:45] <Xero> allos, Okay.
[12:46] <jugimaster> scguy318: i don't know why, but the throughput of my internet connection is fluctuating wildly..    ( running a torrent, the upload speed (not limited) just keeps changing all over the place, even though it should probably stay somewhere near my maximum at a steady pace )
[12:46] <Xero> allos, what are you having problems with?
[12:46] <scguy318> jugimaster: it could be your ISP or something
[12:46] <scguy318> jugimaster: or perhaps the torrent
[12:46] <AaronMT> System -> Preferences -> Font
[12:46] <allos> i downloaded the cd image
[12:46] <scguy318> jugimaster: have you tried any network test sites?
[12:46] <jugimaster> scguy318:  well, i called my ISP and they don't see any problems
[12:46] <allos> i burnt it
[12:46] <TheEdge> Hullo there
[12:47] <rempresent> kewl... Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] /GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device supported?
[12:47] <scguy318> jugimaster: they could be throttling BitTorrent, dunno
[12:47] <allos> but when i try to boot from it
[12:47] <TheEdge> I have a question regarding installation, can someone PM me to help?
[12:47] <allos> nothing happens
[12:47] <AaronMT> !ask > TheEdge
[12:47] <scguy318> allos: did you burn it as an image or as a data file? it should be the former
[12:47] <jugimaster> scguy318: it seems that when i'm running a torrent,  things just go awry,  and when not, things are sometimes relatively normal, but websites take a long time to open sometimes
[12:47] <Xero> You do know how to boot from CDs right?
[12:47] <razer> why cant ubuntu find ide when only sata if i have both
[12:47] <rempresent> intel graphics should be alright I think unless there is a patch that broke it
[12:47] <allos> yes
[12:47] <allos> actually
[12:47] <allos> it looks like it boots
[12:48] <jugimaster> scguy318: earlier today, i was foolish enough to fiddle with my /etc/hosts,  but it's supposed to be back to normal now
[12:48] <allos> it shows the ubuntu sign
[12:48] <Xero> allos: So what happens after that?
[12:48] <pipegeek> that like the batsignal?
[12:48] <allos> for a while
[12:48] <allos> nothing!
[12:48] <tr4sh80> does anyone know how to get an intel wireless card into monitor mode using the ipw3945 driver in ubuntu?
[12:48] <scguy318> allos: you get the boot menu?
[12:48] <jugimaster> scguy318:  i've got two network chips and one WLAN on my motherboard..   do you think that the WLAN might be causing some problems?
[12:48] <rempresent> scguy818: should be good right?
[12:48] <Xero> allos: this is strange.
[12:48] <scguy318> jugimaster: not sure, could be
[12:48] <scguy318> rempresent: yes
[12:48] <rempresent> hrm
[12:49] <vancomycin> hi is there a graphial way of setting MTU in ubuntu, networking?
[12:49] <allos> is there any possibility there is something wrong with the image ?
[12:49] <scguy318> allos: did you get a boot menu?
[12:49] <allos> a boot menu?
[12:49] <vancomycin> some of my websites don't load up - and i think my MTU got screwed - i didn't do anything, but accessing hotmail.com for example doesnt load up
[12:49] <jugimaster> scguy318:   How could I turn off the wireless lan?  -  The "network" menu only says that "roaming mode is enabled", and when i try to uncheck the box, it seems to just happily re-enable it ..  :P
[12:49] <scguy318> allos: and yes, of course, you could try to run the CD integrity tech from the boot menu
[12:49] <scguy318> allos: or do a CRC check on the ISO
[12:49] <scguy318> allos: well, MD5
[12:49] <Xero> allos: Might be the image, might be the CD. I'll ask the same question as scguy318 and ask if you got a menu.
[12:49] <Pici> !verify | allos
[12:49] <ubotu> allos: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[12:50] <allos> what do u mean a boot menu?
[12:50] <scguy318> allos: did you get the Ubuntu boot menu?
[12:50] <Xero> allos, something asking if you want to boot Ubuntu, do an integrity check, or other stuff
[12:50] <scguy318> allos: with options
[12:50] <tr4sh80> can someone help me with a wirless problem?
[12:50] <AaronMT> !ask > tr4sh80
[12:50] <allos> a yes
[12:50] <tr4sh80> can't enable monitor mode on my card
[12:50] <Xero> Why is > preferred now instead of | ?
[12:50] <Vorbote> allos: bet you burned that iso on the CD at full speed. If so, there is a 99% chance your cd is a coaster.
[12:51] <Zombine> !ntfs
[12:51] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[12:51] <Ltar> Having installed ntfs3g, I still don't have RW access to my external USB HDD. how can I look up the drives name in order to chmod?
[12:51] <Sippy> does anyone know where the file that prints the server message after log in is located so i can change it on Ubuntu 7.04 server ed.?
[12:51] <bulmer> Xero who said so?
[12:51] <BernieMac> vancomycin, no idea. Other than that how are you liking the ubuntu??
[12:51] <scguy318> Ltar: you have to mount it with ntfs-3g
[12:51] <Xero> Vorbote, I burned my ISO at 48x and it works fine.
[12:51] <tr4sh80> i'm using the ipw3945 driver that came with ubuntu
[12:51] <ashzilla> T
[12:51] <Vorbote> Xero: I like russian roulette too.
[12:51] <tr4sh80> and monitor mode is supposedly supported
[12:51] <Xero> Vorbote: Done it 4 times and it worked.
[12:52] <tr4sh80> but when i run iwconfig eth1 mode 2 it wont set
[12:52] <Ltar> scguy318: I still need the device's name
[12:52] <Vorbote> Xero: a gun has six holes, or more.... :-P
[12:52] <scguy318> Ltar: sudo fdisk -l to find
[12:52] <Xero> Vorbote: True.
[12:52] <vancomycin> hey berniemac, i'm liking it :)  the last couple days i've been preparing for a medical conference - so didn't get too much time, i will be using ubuntu though at the conference :) i need to import some of my windows office powerpoint slides to images if that's possible for the slideshow part
[12:52] <tr4sh80> where would the config file for my wirless driverbe located?
[12:52] <Xero> I guess I'll go burn 10 more ISOs and boot them, prove they work, and laugh.
[12:52] <bjwebb> will it confuse it completely if i end an upgrade part way through?
[12:53] <Sippy> halp plz, does anyone know where i can change the server login message on the ubuntu 7.04 server ed?
[12:53] <Xero> bjwebb, It shouldn't.
[12:53] <magnetron> tr4sh80: are you sure it HAS a config file?
[12:53] <allos> no i didnt burn it in full speed..
[12:53] <scguy318> vancomycin: import PowerPoint slides? OpenOffice.org should do it transparently
[12:53] <bjwebb> Xero: so itll just start downloading from where i stop it
[12:53] <Xero> allos, at the Ubuntu menu, choose 'Start or install Ubuntu;
[12:53] <tr4sh80> magnetron: it should because when i google everything says i have to set it to enable in the config file
[12:53] <scguy318> tr4sh80: I've seen a suggestion to make the ipw3945 driver with Makefile options modified
[12:53] <Xero> bjwebb, once again, it -should-, but I don't know because I don't do that.
[12:53] <scguy318> tr4sh80: for promiscious/monitor
[12:54] <magnetron> tr4sh80: what kind of driver are we talking about?
[12:54] <bjwebb> Xero: hmm
[12:54] <Vorbote> allos: only advice I can give: burn a new iso at low speed and make sure to use burnfree if your writer supports it.
[12:54] <bulmer> tr4sh80: try iwpriv  and see whats shows up as what you can set
[12:54] <bjwebb> ctrl + c
[12:54] <bjwebb> now time for bed
[12:54] <tr4sh80> magnetron: ipw3945 driver for intel cards
[12:54] <Ltar> scguy318: it worked. thanks!
[12:54] <scguy318> allos: you said "a yes", so you got some menu?
[12:54] <tr4sh80> scguy318: ive seen them too but when i try to make a new driver it fails
[12:54] <scguy318> Ltar: np
[12:54] <vancomycin> berniemac - the ubuntuforums are cool - i find almost 80% of my questions already asked - so that's great... yeah i haven't played around with openoffice yet* tonight i will when i get home - i am going to the autopart store to get some oil for the engine - long drive ahead next week so want to prepare for that - thanks for asking how things are with ubuntu :) i'll be around in a while - hopefully you are doing well!
[12:54] <VWJ1bnR1> Why can't I communicate with my modem?
[12:54] <VWJ1bnR1> Anyone?
[12:55] <scguy318> tr4sh80: you do need build-essentials
[12:55] <scguy318> VWJ1bnR1: wut kind of modem
[12:55] <Xero> allos, at the Ubuntu menu, choose 'Start or install Ubuntu'.
[12:55] <bulmer> VWJ1bnR1: maybe it has no power?
[12:55] <tr4sh80> when i iwpriv monitor shows up
[12:55] <VWJ1bnR1> scguy318: I don't know, but I know that it works.  It worked before I reinstalled my system.
[12:55] <BernieMac> vancomycin, good luck with the conference! yeah I'm sure I'll be here, keep up the good work! the forums are pretty amazing
[12:55] <tr4sh80> but when i try to set it it fails
[12:55] <scguy318> VWJ1bnR1: is it like ADSL modem or good ol 56k?
[12:55] <VWJ1bnR1> bulmer: What would power have to do with a modem?
[12:55] <Sippy> does anyone know where the startup message after login is, so I can modify the file that stores it?  (ubuntu server 7.04)
[12:55] <allos> i do so
[12:56] <bulmer> VWJ1bnR1: alot, electronic devices needs to be powered
[12:56] <allos> bu it appears a message
[12:56] <VWJ1bnR1> scguy318: Is the modem integrated into the computer?
[12:56] <Xero> allos, what does it say?

[12:56] <tr4sh80> thats my iwpriv
[12:56] <VWJ1bnR1> scguy318: Yes, dialup.
[12:56] <AaronMT> Pastebin please.
[12:56] <scguy318> VWJ1bnR1: in that case give me a moment
[12:56] <Puppy_> is there a vlc or mplayer plug in to record a audio/video stream that I can set for a specific time (that is really simple)?
[12:56] <VWJ1bnR1> scguy318: I like to go oldschool.
[12:57] <allos> ok...thanks anyway...
[12:57] <Sippy> VWJ1bnR1: is it a serial modem or an internal?
[12:57] <VWJ1bnR1> Internal, I assume.
[12:57] <Xero> allos, I need to know the error to fix it.
[12:57] <VWJ1bnR1> Sippy: Internal, I assume.
[12:57] <scguy318> VWJ1bnR1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[12:57] <vancomycin> thanks BernieMac :) i'll be around!
[12:57] <Xero> allos, it was not a refusal to help. It was a request for you to help me help you.
[12:57] <bulmer> tr4sh80: man iwpriv  to give you options wha tyou can set
[12:57] <allos> i know..
[12:58] <allos> i really thank u
[12:58] <tr4sh80> bulmer: ok i'll try that
[12:58] <allos> i wil check it and i wil tell u
[12:58] <Xero> allos, okay.
[12:58] <amadeux> yo niggaz!
[12:58] <Sippy> VWJ1bnR1: i wish you luck, the link scguy318 provided is a good one, but if your modem doesnt have drivers you might be out of luck.  you have a software modem (win modem) in all probability and it has very limited support these days
[12:58] <Xero> !ohmy | amadeux
[12:58] <ubotu> amadeux: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.

[12:59] <amadeux> What is the easiest way for me to install compiz fusion on my newly installed Ubuntu system?
[12:59] <tr4sh80> tr4sh80@Joshua:~$ iwpriv eth1 monitor
[12:59] <tr4sh80> The command monitor needs exactly 2 argument(s)...
[12:59] <tr4sh80> what does that mean?
[12:59] <XVampireX> Can anyone please guide me on how to install the latest nvidia drivers so that I would fix my 8800 GTX? :)
[01:00] <Sippy> Can someone experienced with managing servers give me a hand? I need to find the file that changes the login message so instead of getting the ubuntu disclamer I can replace it with a custom message.  If anyone knows where the file is whiich stores that message, I would be very grateful.
[01:00] <jnz_> nobody know how recognize notebook webcam?
[01:00] <bulmer> Sippy: look for /etc/motd
[01:01] <Sippy> bulmer: ah ty :D
[01:01] <tr4sh80> when i try iwpriv to set monitor mode i get this message
[01:01] <tr4sh80> Interface doesn't accept private ioctl...
[01:01] <Sippy> bulmer: exactly what i was looking for
[01:01] <tr4sh80> what does that mean?
[01:01] <bulmer> cool
[01:02] <bulmer> tr4sh80: it meant you can not manually set it?
[01:02] <jugimaster> If a hard-disk doesn't show up in /dev,  will it just be impossible to use it?  ( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38302/   <--  there's one hard disk missing )
[01:02] <bulmer> no ioctl command for it
[01:02] <tr4sh80> dman!
[01:02] <tr4sh80> i just wanna get this thing into monitor mode its pissing me off
[01:02] <amadeux> What is the easiest way for me to install compiz fusion on my newly installed Ubuntu system?
[01:02] <scguy318> jugimaster: you have two hard disks, with 3 partitions
[01:02] <heguru> jugimaster: is this a SATA controller? can you paste the output of lspci
[01:02] <scguy318> jugimaster: data partitions anyway
[01:03] <jugimaster> scguy318: well, i have a third one plugged in, and it works in windows..  :)
[01:03] <jugimaster> three hdds and a dvd-drive..
[01:03] <scguy318> jugimaster: USB? anything in lsusb?
[01:03] <akos> Hello! Can anyone help me out if there is an automated thing for putting multiple pictures together side by side? like a 2x2 grid, or something... And please don't just say "use gimp", because I am really new to it... :P
[01:04] <jugimaster> scguy318: i've got a couple of drives outside of the computer too, and i used those via USB in windows, but they're not on right now
[01:04] <peeps> is there a way to copy a file over the telnet protocol?
[01:04] <jugimaster> heguru: oh,  well, one of the three drives is an IDE drive, and the other two are SATA
[01:04] <scguy318> peeps: not sure, but why Telnet? wouldn't SSH be better?
[01:04] <micky> any ideas on how i might be able to reroute squid to use the 2nd gateway on my box ?
[01:04] <scguy318> jugimaster: how is the third missing HDD hooked up?
[01:05] <jugimaster> scguy318: it's one of the SATA drives,  so it's one of those slim cables
[01:05] <peeps> scguy318, because i cannot get ssh working, but i can use telnet
[01:05] <amadeux> What is the easiest way to have pidgin starting automatically on logoin?
[01:05] <Vorbote> peeps: zmodem
[01:05] <peeps> scguy318, and it's over a single direct cable from one computer to the other
[01:05] <Vorbote> peeps: or ckermit
[01:05] <jugimaster> scguy318:  i was wondering about this missing drive thing when installing debian and ubuntu too ( had some booting issues and so on before finally getting ubuntu to work )
[01:05] <heguru> amadeux: system -> preferences -> sessions
[01:06] <peeps> Vorbote, do those have to be installed on both server and host?
[01:06] <Vorbote> peeps, yes
[01:06] <tr4sh80> ok i'll give someone 10 bucks to get this damn card into monitor mode for me
[01:06] <bulmer> peeps: how many files you need to copy ? and how big is the file? why not use a usb thumb drive?
[01:06] <peeps> Vorbote, there is not just some simple standard program like scp, but without the encryption?
[01:06] <scguy318> jugimaster: might be a controller thing, pastebin your lspci?
[01:06] <akos> Hello! Can anyone help me out if there is an automated thing for putting multiple pictures together side by side? like a 2x2 grid, or something... And please don't just say "use gimp", because I am really new to it... :P
[01:06] <matthew__> hi, when i try to open a local PHP file in Firefox, it launches the file in Gedit.  I installed Apache and PHP5, so what's the problem?
[01:07] <jugimaster> scguy318: "lspci" command?  well, i'll try that :)
[01:07] <Say10> What is going to speed ubuntu up most? Im thinking with such a low CPU and mem requirements it must be the HD
[01:07] <amadeux> What is the easiest way for me to install compiz fusion on my newly installed Ubuntu system?
[01:07] <peeps> bulmer, usb is not enabled.  i'm trying to copy a file to my linux based router.  i have a bad firmware image, need to replace it
[01:07] <Vorbote> peeps, well talking security holes you can drive an eighteen-wheeler through, there is always rcp...
[01:07] <akos> matthew_, you have to "upload" the file to your local apache server, and use localhost://myfile.php to open it
[01:07] <peeps> Vorbote, thanks i will try that
[01:07] <akos> matthew_, e.g. copy it to the htdocs dir
[01:07] <jugimaster> scguy318: OK, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38303/
[01:08] <emad> hello every body i want a way to install stuff (themes , cursors ...) form this site http://www.gnome-look.org/
[01:08] <matthew__> akos:  where is the htdocs directory?
[01:08] <Vorbote> peeps: but you'll have to install it in your box, Ubuntu replaces it with scp for a good reason...
[01:08] <jugimaster> emad: it's easy to install emerald-themes, at least, as i just found out recently..  just download them, and click on them with the file explorer :)
[01:08] <MeRodent> emad, what do you want to install as they go into different places.
[01:09] <MeRodent> emad, ie custom cursors go into ~/.icons
[01:09] <akos> matthew_, well by default it's in /var/www/ i think, but check the apach config just to make sure
[01:09] <mikebot> How do I force quit out of a program running in terminal?
[01:09] <peeps> Vorbote, rcp is just an alias for scp
[01:09] <Vorbote> peeps, wait a sec... If yhe remote box has scp (not sftp), you cah use lftp with scp:// and fish:// urls...
[01:09] <snupdc> hello can anyone help me with xgl?
[01:09] <mikebot> Like if it's asking me for a file name./
[01:10] <akos> matthew_, search for "documentroot"
[01:10] <peeps> Vorbote, the machine I am connecting to is not accepting ssh connections
[01:10] <scguy318> jugimaster: what kernel are you?
[01:10] <peeps> Vorbote, but it will accept telnet, so I need to know how to copy a file
[01:11] <Merlin--> hi guys Im starting squid it says started ok when i nmap my internal ip i dont see its port ? any idea what could it be
[01:11] <jugimaster> scguy318:  ubuntu 7.04,  and i accidentally tried to update/install a kernel with apt-get, but i don't know if it went through with it

[01:13] <MeRodent> emad, as I said before you need to extract cursors to ~/.icons/ you then can choose them from sytem prefferences mouse  and choose pointers.

[01:43] <bulmer> dv310p3r: yes, i thought those were the memory cards you have
[01:44] <noam_> MeRodent, yes, i think. what do you mean by activated? it sees itself in \\windows-machine-ip\, and i see it from here
[01:44] <kst> any ideas why my "beep" wont work? i installed beep package but it just wont beep
[01:44] <dv310p3r> no, sorry
[01:44] <bulmer> dv310p3r:  remove the memory card and see if its detected by dmesg
[01:45] <bulmer> dv310p3r: or look at your /var/log/messages at the end
[01:45] <MeRodent> noam_, I had the same issue as ubuntu was able to see the drives. They came up as $C $D but asked for passwords. Turned out that the directories weren't shared by the windows box.
[01:45] <noam_> MeRodent, i don't actually require anonymous access, i just don't want my sister to enter a password. if i can somehow supply the windows machine default username and password that would work on the ubuntu machine side, i'd even prefer doing that
[01:45] <greg__> heguru: any luck ? or do you know what is the problem ?
[01:45] <bulmer> dv310p3r: also you need to prefix your responses with my nick if its for me, i will miss if it doesnt have
[01:45] <noam_> MeRodent, i'm trying to share a directory from the linux machine to the windows, not hte other way around
[01:46] <Pikaflash> =OOOOOOOOOO

[01:56] <temjin> :)
[01:56] <dv310p3r> bulmer: is there any ways i can force the mount?
[01:57] <Ltar> i'm reinstalling ubnutu, or rather installing 64 bit ubuntu over my old x86 install. I wish to preserve my existing partitions and windows. my hard drive is as such-
[01:57] <Ltar> sda1- 263 mb- I believe this partition held grub, which got corrupted
[01:57] <Ltar> sda2- this is my 50 gb windows partition
[01:57] <Ltar> sda3- this is where I want to install ubuntu (25 gb)
[01:57] <Ltar> sda5- 150 gb FAT32 shared partition that I want to preserve
[01:57] <Ltar> sda6- 2gb partition for linux swap
[01:57] <Zombine> DreadKnight: That is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping would be possible.  Can I change the time limit some how?
[01:57] <bulmer> dv310p3r: use the mount command
[01:57] <Ltar> im at step 4 of the install process, how can I set this up....   the way I want
[01:57] <srvy990> can anyone help me get guifications 2 on the gaim on feisty fawn?
[01:57] <Ltar> i've set sda3 to \, but where will grub be installed?
[01:58] <nickrud> Ltar: as general advice, just leave grub under / , don't make a separate boot partition
[01:58] <DreadKnight> Zombine if you want undefine period, hmm... perhaps try setting up your account rights... but as far as i know you can't be logged with a SU account in ubuntu... anyway.. take a look at it..
[01:58] <Ltar> nickrud: will grub be able to launch windows, then?
[01:58] <bulmer> dv310p3r: i also asked you to look at /var/log/messages  did it show anything when you plugged/unplugged the memory card?
[01:58] <TUXedomember_> i need help hooking up my ti-89ti to ubuntu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[01:58] <bluestreak_> Dell D620 DVD RW does not work
[01:58] <squidlick> just curious with kubuntu is there anyway to install java,flash, and all that on konquerer
[01:59] <bluestreak_> can some one please help
[01:59] <Zombine> DreadKnight: Okay then.  Thanks.
[01:59] <nickrud> Ltar: yes. Grub should see your windows partition and set it up properly; if it doesn't, there's a simple stanza to add to the menu.lst to enable it. Where grub is has no bearing
[01:59] <Esteth> How do i uninstall something i installed with "make install" ?
[01:59] <squidlick> /
[01:59] <TUXedomember_> help with my ti-89ti needed
[01:59] <nickrud> Esteth: hopefully, make uninstall in the same directory (hope you haven't deleted it)
[02:00] <temjin> hrm
[02:00] <temjin> does compiz have an IRC channel?
[02:00] <nickrud> #compiz-fustion temjin
[02:00] <DreadKnight> Esteth have you searched for that application under synaptic?
[02:00] <demon_spork> TUXedomember, I have one but I haven't messed with it
[02:00] <nickrud> erm #compiz-fusion, rather
[02:00] <temjin> thanks
[02:00] <dv310p3r> gotta go bulmer, thanks for the help, gonna have to try later.
[02:01] <temjin> wanted to see what they thought of that link to Seth's blog from 2yr ago
[02:01] <Esteth> nickrud: Thanks. Dreadknight: Yes, i would have installed it via synaptic, but its a recently in-development plugin for a minor program
[02:01] <Ltar> what sort of "documents and settings" does ubuntu want to import from my XP partition?
[02:01] <bluestreak_> hey guys please, I need this urgent help.. regarding CD rom
[02:01] <bluestreak_> do you know where else I can go and hask
[02:01] <bluestreak_> ask
[02:01] <Ltar> there's not enough space on my ubuntu part for everything on the XP part
[02:01] <Ltar> nevermind. I clicked the arrow.
[02:02] <Ltar> handy
[02:02] <nickrud> bluestreak_: have you tried another cd?
[02:02] <bluestreak_> Yes
[02:02] <bluestreak_> I have tried many CDs
[02:02] <bluestreak_> many Cd roms
[02:02] <bluestreak_> in my latitude
[02:02] <nickrud> Ltar: wanted to see what that does myself, you would have been my guinea pig :)
[02:02] <bluestreak_> this is similar bug -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/94119
[02:03] <DreadKnight> Ltar: make backups, convert partitions to ext3, you should have a root partition "/" for about 10 gb for ubuntu, a swap partition (swap type) for about 2 gb and the rest i set up as "/home" you can have multiple partitions like that ... just mount them to something "/example"
[02:03] <Ltar> nickrud: it's neat. I can select to import settings for firefox, IE, my wallpapers and all of the "My Foo" folders in windows
[02:04] <jnz_> anybody use Suyin webcam on ubuntu???
[02:04] <element3> hi   i have sun java 6 runtime installed on my ubuntu os  but i tired to start executable jar file with that   anybody can help me?
[02:04] <scguy318> element3: java -jar file.jar?
[02:04] <flodine>  is there a easy way to remove the ubuntu icon from the menu and use the gnome footprint of old?

[02:05] <user_> How do I change gcc include directories?
[02:06] <bluestreak_> oh good, I will try that and get back to you dude..
[02:06] <user_> How do I change gcc include directories?
[02:06] <nickrud> bluestreak_: that's a pointer, not saying do it :) I'd look for confirming info first
[02:07] <bluestreak_> damn.. I do not have /etc/mkinitrd/modules. can you please point me how to get this working on ubuntu
[02:07] <bluestreak_> Okay.. let me read about that. Most probably looks like that is a problem
[02:08] <Zombine> Where are the folder permissions stored?  I assume it's some text file in /etc bu I don know which
[02:08] <Vorbote> bluestreak_: /etc/initramfs-tools/
[02:08] <wastrel> user_: man gcc   -I
[02:08] <element3> i use eclupse windows version and i had to execute startup.jar file of this version of eclipse on linux because my plugins will not work on linux version of eclipse but i tired to start startup.jar file on ubuntu
[02:09] <wastrel> who said java is portable
[02:09] <user_> wastrel "man" ?
[02:09] <wastrel> user_: man  is the manual
[02:09] <bluestreak_> thanks Vorbote
[02:09] <wastrel> man <program>   gets you documentation on the program.  use   /  to search  and n  to go to the next match
[02:09] <wastrel> q quits
[02:10] <user_> waster: do you know how to use pkg-config?
[02:10] <fruitbatJim> anyone have netbeans installed?
[02:10] <wastrel> no
[02:10] <superlarsie> nabendschchen
[02:10] <darkcrab> hello all
[02:10] <osmosis> does linux have any ipmi client software?
[02:10] <Ltar> the 7.04 installer seems to make a lot more sense than the 6.10 installer I last used
[02:10] <mheath> Anyone here happen to use the bcm43xx native driver? After hibernate, I get a BCM43xx_IRQ_XMIT_ERROR when the system trys to bring the interface back up
[02:11] <bulmer> mheath: can you try /etc/init.d/networking restart and see if it come back?
[02:12] <mheath> bulmer: that script resets network configuration things. The error i'm having is low level: the module fails to initialize the device, and therefore nothing is bound to eth1
[02:13] <wastrel> mheath: my new trick is to make sure everythings setup properly in /etc/iftab
[02:13] <bulmer> mheath: well maybe that scripts calls ifup inside and load the necessary driver?
[02:13] <wastrel> mine caused me no end of trouble when it got messed up somehow
[02:13] <jnz_> it's possible upgrade kernel with apt-get
[02:13] <jnz_> ?
[02:13] <mheath> wastrel: Ah, I was coincidentally looking at a forum post taht suggested that, right as you suggested it..I'll give that a try.
[02:13] <bluestreak_> making new initrd with mkinitramfs
[02:13] <bluestreak_> I hope thats the right comamnd
[02:14] <mheath> bulmer: The error occurs on the modprobe
[02:14] <mheath> bulmer: You can't even succesfully modprobe the module, let alone bring an interface up
[02:14] <bluestreak_> okay rebooting. and will be back - I hope so.
[02:15] <nickrud> lol
[02:15] <bulmer> mheath:  oh well...its beyond my understanding then
[02:15] <bulmer> anything thats modprobe errors on, is way beyond me
[02:15] <mheath> gotta have an eth1 before you can ifup eth1 :P
[02:15] <RAdams> Is anyone here successfully using the teamspeak-server package?
[02:17] <darkcrab> when I boot up the live CD, it detects eth0 (wired) and my eth1 (wireless), and I input my router name, my encryption type, and the key, it acts like it is connecting, and then goes nowhere.
[02:17] <RAdams> Also, what is the Linux equivalent to ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew and ipconfig /flushdns?
[02:18] <bulmer> RAdams:  man dhclient
[02:18] <scguy318> RAdams: sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart for flushdns, not sure if thats correct
[02:19] <bulmer> RAdams: you can flush the route table, which i dont recommend.. ")
[02:19] <Random832> why are there eight floppy drives in the "computer" thing in nautilus?
[02:20] <bluestreak_> Guys thank you. That works
[02:20] <bluestreak_> we need to document that some where. :-)
[02:20] <bluestreak_> I am able to read CDs and DVDs now.
[02:20] <nickrud> bluestreak_: help.ubuntu.com/community
[02:20] <bulmer> Random832: you have 8 floppies?
[02:21] <bluestreak_> Can I just go and document it
[02:21] <arakthor> what is the irc channel for 7.10?
[02:21] <bluestreak_> or do I need to do something else
[02:21] <sunilonln> is there an easy way for getting vga and s-video output working with intel 945gm integrated graphics? (i have an hp dv2000t)
[02:21] <sunilonln> the docs at intellinuxgraphics.org mention support for the outputs, but i haven't been able to get any customized xorg.conf working
[02:21] <osmosis> I have IPMI card installed, but no /dev/ipmi
[02:21] <nickrud> bluestreak_: you'll need a launchpad.net account, but otherwise it's a wiki
[02:21] <scguy318> !gutsy | arakthor
[02:21] <ubotu> arakthor: 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
[02:22] <kyja> yeah I still need to fake a folder to mount like a real device cd/dvd burner
[02:22] <ProN00b> can i connect from remote to my current x session ?
[02:22] <nickrud> more like testing than unstable now ...
[02:22] <ProN00b> or will a new one be started for every connection ?
[02:22] <darkcrab> i looked online and I can find a lot of documentation for if your wireless card is not detected, but I cannot find any docs on if it is detected but wont work.
[02:23] <darkcrab> my card is detected at eth1, but then the system wont connect to my router for some reason or pick up surrounding networks.
[02:23] <bulmer> darkcrab: is your pc connected to a router? can you tell us the layout of your network?
[02:23] <darkcrab> I have a router connected to broadband, wireless, and two wireless computers, one PC and one Apple.
[02:23] <kyja> darkcrab, what do you have a bcm43xx ?
[02:23] <darkcrab> It is a linksys.
[02:24] <darkcrab> Wireless G.
[02:24] <kyja> darkcrab, you will likely have to look for cutter wich chops bcm43xx windows drivers and installs them
[02:24] <kyja> fcutter
[02:25] <kyja> something like that.
[02:25] <darkcrab> Ah, you think it is an ndiswrapper issue?
[02:25] <kyja> that is what I have to do with my hp pavilion is hack it up a bit to use the built in wireless.
[02:25] <bulmer> darkcrab: you are on liveCD ? and you can type the command iwconfig?
[02:26] <kyja> ndiswrapper never worked for me for bcm43xx chips
[02:26] <darkcrab> not atm, but yes I can.
[02:26] <atlfalcons866> is there a kubuntu room
[02:27] <darkcrab> i used iwconfig for knoppix
[02:27] <darkcrab> but I couldnt get that to work.
[02:27] <crasher5> hi
[02:27] <crasher5> How do I clear aptitude's list of install/remove/upgrades?
[02:28] <kyja> I could not either. linksys is a tricky one becuase they cept info about there chip hush and closed.
[02:29] <darkcrab> thanks for the FYI.
[02:29] <crasher5> anyone?
[02:29] <kyja> darkcrab, if you look up fcutter if I remember the name it will work
[02:29] <kyja> I am chatting over wireless linksys 43xx
[02:30] <atlfalcons866> #kubuntu
[02:30] <crasher5> Please anyone help me: How do I clear aptitude's list of scheduled tasks?
[02:30] <crasher5> i want to clear the whole list
[02:30] <agraupe> I'm using feisty with GNOME.  recently, things have stopped appearing in my system tray (amarok, gaim, network-manager, etc.), and I can't figure out what's happened.  has this happened to anyone else?
[02:31] <darkcrab> I think I see it kyja
[02:31] <kyja> darkcrab, if you need to I can zip up a setup with instructions and what you need and send it to you
[02:31] <matthewpoer> crasher5, does 'f' do it? I know it forgets new packages
[02:31] <matthewpoer> or, under actions, "cancel pending actions"
[02:31] <crasher5> what was the second part again?
[02:31] <DreadKnight> agraupe perhaps you've removed systray from your interface
[02:32] <agraupe> DreadKnight: how would I get it back?
[02:32] <razer> hallo.. what is the best way to play wow on ubuntu?
[02:32] <matthewpoer> crasher 5, press "e"
[02:32] <agraupe> DreadKnight: I looked at options to add to the panel, and there was no obviously-named option
[02:32] <matthewpoer> for "cancEl pending actions"
[02:32] <skyfaller> hey folks, I'm interested in running Ubuntu on my new Macbook Pro... do you recommend trying Gutsy Tribe 5?
[02:32] <matthewpoer> it is also available in the Actions menu
[02:32] <agraupe> DreadKnight: what would I do to replace it?
[02:33] <wastrel> ubuntu
[02:33] <ibara> agraupe: it's the "notification area"
[02:33] <DreadKnight> agraupe: right click on the panel, add to panel, and under utilities you have the notification thingy
[02:33] <wastrel> skyfaller: ask in #ubuntu+1  "team gusty"
[02:33] <matthewpoer> crasher5, did you find it?
[02:33] <skyfaller> wastrel: thank you :)
[02:34] <agraupe> DreadKnight: yep, that did it... thanks a lot for the help, I knew I was missing something obvious like that
[02:34] <crasher5> yes, I believe i'm ok now... i was trying to do it from the console
[02:34] <crasher5> thank you matthewpoer
[02:34] <wastrel> rabid weasel?
[02:34] <Grodius> Hi
[02:34] <Grodius> Hihi
[02:34] <matthewpoer> oh, I'm sorry. I haven't a clue how to do it from CLI. I assumed you were using the interface.
[02:34] <kyja> yeah but I am silly like thay
[02:34] <kyja> that
[02:34] <Grodius> Posting from my iphone
[02:34] <bluestreak_> Hey guys, thanks a lot for previous help, I am in process of registering myself and I will document that problem
[02:34] <DreadKnight> agraupe no problem mate.. take care next time.. the GNOME interface is very customizable :D
[02:35] <bluestreak_> now another problem.. I have Logitech USB Handset
[02:35] <bluestreak_> how do I make it default
[02:35] <bluestreak_> or when ever I plug in
[02:35] <wastrel> handset like a phone?
[02:36] <lubosz> hi, where can i set default apps for file extensions in gnome?
[02:37] <ProN00b> can i connect from remote to my current x session, or will a new one be started ?
[02:37] <ubuntu-tw> What about Malaysia?
[02:37] <matthewpoer> ProN00b, usually a new one is started. I think there is some sort of VNC variant that will allow you to connect to an existing X session.
[02:38] <ubuntu-tw> :-*
[02:38] <ubuntu-tw> O:-)
[02:39] <andrew____> hello, can anyone spare a few minutes to help me install wxPython?
[02:39] <ProN00b> matthewpoer, ubuntu has remote desktop which is vnc... but i wanted to use x
[02:39] <lubosz> :-!
[02:40] <wastrel> andrew____: seems to be in the repos
[02:40] <kb0rpj-wx> problem:  "couldn't recognize the image file formart for file '/usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu/background.png"  only thing i can do is get the fail safe terminal... any help?
[02:40] <lubosz> where can i set default apllications in gnome?
[02:40] <noam_> andrew____, , er, sudo apt-get install wxpython?
[02:40] <andrew____> wastrel: sorry, repos?  (total noob)  i see python in the install/remove programs, but not wxPython
[02:41] <wastrel> andrew____: the package you want is probably python-wxgtk2.8
[02:41] <wastrel> andrew____: apt-cache search wxpython   is what got me that (among other matches)
[02:41] <matthewpoer> I do not know of any way to connect to an existing X session
[02:42] <lufis> I installed the source package for a kernel module from the repos... what do i do with it?
[02:42] <noam_> andrew____, use a more advanced package manager. add/remove programs shows programs
[02:42] <Terrasque> matthewpoer: vnc
[02:42] <wastrel> !repos | andrew____
[02:42] <ubotu> andrew____: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[02:42] <matthewpoer> terrasque, that's what I was thinking, but ProN00b wants native X stuff, I think.
[02:43] <lubosz> where can i choose the application that opens files with double click in gnome?
[02:43] <sistom-> awesome.
[02:43] <lufis> lubosz: Right-click on the file, select open with
[02:43] <lubosz> lufis: and for default?
[02:43] <lufis> lubosz: You can choose the default app there
[02:43] <lubosz> ah k, thx
[02:43] <lufis> :)
[02:44] <aoeuhtns> how do I get a list of all the packages I have installed?
[02:44] <ibara> you can also do it by right clicking and selecting Properties
[02:44] <wastrel> aoeuhtns: dpkg -l | grep ^ii
[02:44] <lufis> aoeuhtns: In Synaptic, select "Status" on the left bottom pane, then select "Installed"
[02:44] <Pelo> aoeuhtns,  open up synaptic ,  click the status button on the bottom left
[02:45] <aoeuhtns> thanks
[02:45] <shad0w1e> what's the current ubuntu title?

[02:45] <shad0w1e> thanks
[02:45] <andrew____> hey i installed the package you recommended, but the statistical software i'm trying to run (salstat) still will not run.  wxPython is the gui salstat uses.
[02:46] <wastrel> andrew____: do you know what version of wxpython salsat needs?
[02:46] <lufis> Pelo: I just came in at the right time :p
[02:46] <Pelo> andrew__, so install wxpython
[02:46] <lufis> Pelo: Say, can you help a fellow with kernel modules?

[02:46] <kienan> Hi, I have a new laptop with a monitor that supports 1920x1200 resolution. With the default drivers, it's great. With the nvidia drivers, it displays at that resolution, but i have to scroll to see everything (sideways, like my monitory isn't wide enough). Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
[02:46] <lufis> Pelo: ah, me too
[02:47] <andrew____> INSTALLATION - Linux/Unix and Windows (source code):
[02:47] <andrew____> Open the archive using tar/gunzip for packages ending in tar.gz, or something
[02:47] <andrew____> like WinZip for zip archives. There should be a core of files which you need
[02:47] <andrew____> to put somewhere. As you have wxPython installed, I recommend going to the
[02:47] <andrew____> wxPython directory, and putting them into a directory somewhere. Open a
[02:47] <kb0rpj-wx>  "couldn't recognize the image file formart for file '/usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu/background.png" <-- any ideas what to do here?
[02:47] <andrew____> console/DOS box, and change to that directory. Then (assuming Python and
[02:47] <andrew____> wxPython has installed properly), run "python salstat.py"
[02:47] <lufis> !pastebin > andrew____
[02:47] <Pelo> andrew__, DO NOT PASTE TO THE CHANNEL
[02:47] <andrew____> sorry
[02:47] <lufis> kb0rpj-wx: corrupted image maybe?
[02:48] <Pelo> andrew__, open a erminal and type   python salstat.py
[02:48] <cr4ck> how do I change my ident?
[02:48] <lufis> kb0rpj-wx: does it open in a graphics program?
[02:48] <cr4ck> in xchat
[02:48] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: right click that file, check the image properties
[02:48] <kb0rpj-wx> ok.. well i can't start up to do anything.. so i can't tell you
[02:48] <Pelo> cr4ck,  ask in #xchat
[02:48] <temjin_> http://www.digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_Desktop_Compositing_How_Far_We_ve_Come :)
[02:48] <cr4ck> kk
[02:48] <InSaNiTyIG> i dont get how to install wine. im having problems
[02:49] <kb0rpj-wx> only thing i can get to is the fail-safe terminal
[02:49] <wastrel> kb0rpj-wx: boot to recovery mode (hit esc when you see the grub line at the top of the screen while booting
[02:49] <wastrel> )
[02:49] <lufis> I installed a source package for a kernel module from the repos (there is no binary available). How do I compile it and install it?
[02:49] <andrew____> pelo: all i have done so far is extract the tar.gz file that salstat came in.  'python salstat.py' returns: can't open, no such file or directory
[02:49] <Pelo> andrew__, is there an INSTALL file in the salstat folder ?
[02:49] <nickrud> lufis: module-assistant (and the INSTALL file in the source
[02:49] <andrew____> ah i have to go to the directory!  sorry im really new at command line operations
[02:49] <Vorbote> lufis: build-essential + module-utils
[02:50] <lufis> nickrud: Where's the source, tho?
[02:50] <lufis> /usr/src?
[02:50] <nickrud> lufis: yes
[02:50] <kb0rpj-wx> btw - if it helps.. what it's telling me before the fail safe is, "cannot find or run the base script, running GNOME fail safe session instead"
[02:50] <lufis> ok
[02:50] <andrew____> no, no install file.  hold on let me try 'python salstat.py' again after i cd to the right dir
[02:50] <lufis> Ah, there it is!
[02:50] <kb0rpj-wx> then it tells me i can't run gnome fail safe.. running xterm failsafe
[02:50] <larson9999> what's the main tool for recovering lost partitions?
[02:51] <kb0rpj-wx> so there's where i am, at the failsafe terminal
[02:51] <Pelo> !enter | kb0rpj-wx
[02:51] <ubotu> kb0rpj-wx: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:51] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: hopefully there's more info in ~/.xsession-errors
[02:51] <cr4ck> my installer crashed
[02:51] <cr4ck> wtf
[02:51] <andrew____> 'import error.  cannot import name editor'
[02:51] <lufis> nickrud: after it's compiled, how do I register it?
[02:51] <wo0f> hi guys, how do i install on a raid0 array?
[02:52] <Pelo> !raid > wo0f
[02:52] <Sirrush> meow
[02:52] <Pelo> andrew__, any  readme file in that folder ?
[02:52] <nickrud> lufis: that's what module-assistant is for
[02:52] <kb0rpj-wx> sorry, my bad, ok.. so i need to restart and go at it from recovery mode?
[02:52] <lufis> nickrud: ok
[02:52] <andrew____> yes, what should i look for in the readme?
[02:52] <wo0f> Pelo, cheers.
[02:52] <kb0rpj-wx> i'm sorry for sounding so stupid, just the fact i am stupid about all this
[02:52] <andrew____> also, how do i check to make sure i have python and wxpython installed?  it seemed like it worked when i did it a minute ago i'd just like to make sure
[02:52] <c01100011> dual screen ati Xorg.conf configuration - point me in the right direction please
[02:53] <nickrud> lufis: basically you copy the module into /lib/modules/linux-image-$(uname -r) somewhere and run depmod -a
[02:53] <wastrel> kb0rpj-wx: no, if you're in gnome you don't need to restart
[02:53] <Pelo> andrew__, no idea usualy when you get a tar.gz file you read the install file and/or the readme file,   any install.sh file in there ?
[02:53] <ProN00b> how can i connect to my current x session from remote ? (native x, Not vnc)
[02:53] <wastrel> Pelo: it's a python proggy, no install needed
[02:53] <Pelo> !dualhead > c01100011 check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[02:54] <Pelo> wastrel,  tell andrew____  how to deal with it then
[02:54] <andrew____> no, no install file.  the documentation only says that python and wxpython are required.
[02:54] <wastrel> andrew____: at this point i think it's a problem with the salstat program
[02:54] <nickrud> ProN00b: ssh -X  is usually good (install ssh-server on the machine you want to access and edit /etc/ssh_config to listen to outside connections)
[02:54] <andrew____> darn!
[02:55] <kb0rpj-wx> wastrel right now, i'm in the xterm failsafe terminal
[02:55] <gunspoja> gday everyone
[02:55] <wastrel> andrew__: last update seems to have been in 2003?
[02:55] <nickrud> andrew____: most python apps simply need to be in the path.
[02:55] <andrew____> is there any way i can verify that? i'd really like to get this working it seems like the best statistical software out there for linux
[02:55] <wastrel> andrew__: newer versions of python and wxwidgets may be b0rking the script.
[02:55] <gunspoja> I'm having a bit of trouble adding a dictionary server to the dictionary tool, does anyone know how to do tis?
[02:55] <gunspoja> *this
[02:55] <andrew____> nick: can you clarify that for me please.  what does it mean that 'python apps need to be in the path' which path?
[02:56] <andrew____> is it worth trying an older version of either program?
[02:56] <wastrel> andrew____: R is what we used n my stats class
[02:56] <wastrel> but it's not user friendly
[02:56] <andrew____> does R have a gui or is it all text based?
[02:56] <nickrud> andrew____: I'd listen to wastrel more on this (his comment seems on the spot) and 'path' means what  echo $PATH shows you
[02:56] <Kitsun> My laptops screen wont turn back on after I close it, but it still responds as if the screen were on
[02:56] <andrew____> i want something i can import data from ooffice and just get my results
[02:56] <Pelo> kb0rpj-wx, what is it you need to do anyway ?
[02:57] <wastrel> andrew____: we used it cli but it has the ability to display plots and charts
[02:57] <wastrel> i don't know if there's a GUI interface for users
[02:57] <InSaNiTyIG> im having problems installing wine. can anyone help me?
[02:57] <kb0rpj-wx>  Pelo : make my system start again
[02:57] <kb0rpj-wx> i can't start
[02:57] <andrew____> alright thanks for your help
[02:57] <Pelo> Kitsun, suspend /hibernat is not the most reliable in linux in general,  look for stuff on this in the forum www.ubuntuforum.org
[02:57] <Pelo> kb0rpj-wx,  what happened ?
[02:58] <Kitsun> Pelo, but I don't think it suspends or hibernates, I have set it to just turn off the screen in the power management settings
[02:58] <Pelo> Kitsun, in the bios or in ubuntu ?
[02:59] <kb0rpj-wx> i don't know.. i restarted my system and it told me that it couldn't start.. gave the error of "couldn't recognize the image file formart for file '/usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu/background.png" and then it says it will try GNOME fail-safe, it also errors.. then ends up with xterm failsafe
[02:59] <Kitsun> ubuntu
[02:59] <Kitsun> iirc I set the bios to do nothing
[02:59] <bluestreak_> I got the DVD working
[02:59] <bluestreak_> but not CD
[02:59] <Pelo> Kitsun, I don'T know how to get it back , have you tried  ctrl_alt_backspace that will restart x  , but it will kill any running gui app
[02:59] <bluestreak_> it does read DVD but does not read CD in my computer on D620
[03:00] <Pelo> kb0rpj-wx,  look up the error msg in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[03:00] <avt3kk> what can I install from ubuntu dapper drake synaptic package manager to copy a cd?
[03:00] <avt3kk> guys
[03:01] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: in that terminal, try    file /usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu/background.png   , what does that say?
[03:01] <Pelo> avt3kk,  data or music ?
[03:01] <avt3kk> data pictures
[03:01] <Pelo> avt3kk, gnomebaker
[03:01] <avt3kk> isnt there another?
[03:01] <gunspoja> anybody know how to use the ubuntu dictionary tool?  it doesn't appear to work properly :/
[03:01] <nickrud> avt3kk: k3b
[03:02] <Pelo> avt3kk, nautilus also can also burn cds
[03:02] <wastrel> there's a dictionary tool?
[03:02] <Pelo> avt3kk, open up synaptic and search for  cd
[03:02] <Pelo> wastrel,  in the accesories menu
[03:02] <avt3kk> whats faster k3b gnomebaker or nautilus???
[03:02] <avt3kk> ook ty
[03:02] <MasterShrek> avt3kk, i suggest k3b, but you need to install kde libraries and stuff for it
[03:02] <avt3kk> Pelo ty
[03:02] <wastrel> nifty
[03:02] <Kitsun> Pelo, restarting x works, but I would prefer not losing all my open apps
[03:02] <gunspoja> wastrel, yes there is, and I'm trying to use it
[03:02] <bluestreak_> I have got one more hint
[03:03] <bluestreak_> let me try that and I will get back to you guys :-)
[03:03] <gunspoja> but it seems like it doesn't support the dictionary standard :/ i keep getting errors
[03:03] <nickrud> gunspoja: you have a dictd server running locally?
[03:03] <Pelo> Kitsun,  it was a bandaid solution ,  try looking in the powermanagerment tools see if there are options for turning the screen back on or some such
[03:03] <gunspoja> nickrud, no, I'm trying to add a dict server to the dictionary tool, but it won't work
[03:04] <kb0rpj-wx> it says /usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu/background.png: PNG image data, 1024 x 768 8-bit/color RGB non-interlaced
[03:04] <nickrud> gunspoja: I gave up on that tool, I just do it from the command line now
[03:04] <gunspoja> and its the right server and settings, because the dictionaries list from the server is visible
[03:04] <skyfaller> hey folks... is there any channel for Intel Mac users?  I have a Macbook Pro that I could use some help with
[03:04] <avt3kk> im using gnomebaker
[03:05] <avt3kk> hope uits fast
[03:05] <gunspoja> but when I try to do a query, it says "Bad parameters for command 'DEFINE'"
[03:05] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: try running     eog   /usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu/background.png    does it look right?
[03:05] <Pelo> skyfaller, not specificaly,  this is pretty much "the" ubuntu channel, not all that many mac users tho, try and ask a quesiton and we will do our best
[03:05] <gunspoja> nickrud, I'd much rather use a version where I don't have to type out the whole command every time, just the word I want
[03:05] <kb0rpj-wx> says eog is not installed
[03:05] <avt3kk> ty guys :)
[03:05] <InSaNiTyIG> is there anyone who can help me with wine on ubuntu feisty fawn?
[03:06] <Pelo> InSaNiTyIG, what is the issue ?
[03:06] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, have you asked in #winehq ?
[03:06] <nickrud> gunspoja: true. I really liked the gtk1.2 front end. But as I said, I gave up on that one
[03:06] <skyfaller> Pelo: well, I have a https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookProSantaRosa  ... and reading that page doesn't seem to make it clear whether I want to use Gutsy or Feisty
[03:06] <gunspoja> why did you give up on it?
[03:06] <InSaNiTyIG> im not sure how to install it. the steps are for 6.06
[03:06] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: don't know what image viewer comes with xubuntu ;(
[03:06] <InSaNiTyIG> on this site
[03:06] <InSaNiTyIG> !wine
[03:06] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:06] <skyfaller> Pelo: so I'm hoping to find someone who has experience and can tell me which I want :)
[03:06] <Pelo> skyfaller,  gutsy is still in alpha  so go for feisty
[03:06] <kb0rpj-wx> i'm installing eog
[03:06] <andy_> What is the command for moving files from one destination to another?
[03:06] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, those steps should still work
[03:07] <skyfaller> Pelo: heh, OK, thanks for the clear answer :)
[03:07] <wastrel> andy_: mv files destination/
[03:07] <kb0rpj-wx> image looks fine
[03:07] <InSaNiTyIG> i tried the steps for 7.04 but it gave me errors
[03:07] <andy_> ty
[03:07] <gunspoja> oh ok
[03:07] <Pelo> InSaNiTyIG,  open the terminal and type   sudo apt-get install wine
[03:07] <gunspoja> sudo apt-get install wine didn't work?
[03:07] <gunspoja> that's all I needed to do :/
[03:07] <wastrel> andy_: be careful, that will overwrite existing files without pompting.   use mv -i for more safety
[03:08] <wastrel> (if the files you're moving have the same filenames as files in the destination)
[03:08] <InSaNiTyIG> thats not whats listed on the site but i'll do that
[03:08] <andy_> wastrel:  so mv -i  (from) (to)
[03:08] <andy_> ?
[03:08] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, that's the typical way to install almost anything when its in the repositories
[03:08] <Pelo> InSaNiTyIG,  it's the easy way
[03:08] <InSaNiTyIG> i know, thats why i was confused
[03:08] <gunspoja> usually you won't even need to look for install instructions, just do "sudo apt-get install packagename"
[03:09] <gunspoja> although sometimes the packages have really stupid names
[03:09] <Pelo> InSaNiTyIG, some of those "site" aren't alll that good
[03:09] <gunspoja> so its not always easy to guess what the names are, you might have to do a bit of googling :P
[03:09] <wastrel> andy_: yeah
[03:09] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: no idea then
[03:09] <gunspoja> so, does anybody have any idea of how to use the dictionary tool at all?
[03:09] <Pelo> gunspoja,   that's why there is  sudo apt-cache search keyword
[03:09] <andy_> wastrel:  thanks, appreciate it :)
[03:09] <nickrud> kb0rpj-wx: maybe copying a jpeg file there. Scattergun approach
[03:09] <gunspoja> or how I can debug it and find out what is broken
[03:09] <julius> Hey
[03:10] <kb0rpj-wx> is there anyway for me to change themes and try to see if it will work?
[03:10] <gunspoja> Pelo, knowing about that command would have saved me a lot of time in the past :P
[03:10] <julius> It is possible to install KDE completely over gnome, right?
[03:10] <nickrud> julius: alongside, yes.
[03:10] <Pelo> gunspoja, check the about in the dict for a link to the maker website see if they have extra info
[03:10] <gunspoja> Pelo, where would that be?
[03:10] <Pelo> julius, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[03:10] <julius> nickrud: Well, I don't like the look of gnome and I'd rather only have kde running as my desktop
[03:11] <stonebear> how can one tell which they are using?
[03:11] <nickrud> julius: Pelo knows the key to removing gnome, he has a link somewhere
[03:11] <Pelo> gunspoja, open the dictionnary,   in the menu,  under help ,  see  about
[03:11] <wastrel> stonebear: lsb_release -a
[03:11] <gunspoja> ah ok
[03:11] <stonebear> thanks
[03:11] <rhaag71> Gusty problem, is this a good channel?
[03:11] <wastrel> rhaag71: #ubuntu+1
[03:11] <julius> Pelo, you think you dig up that link for me? :D
[03:11] <nickrud> weather channel
[03:11] <achilles> SOS
[03:11] <achilles> SOS
[03:11] <rhaag71> thanks
[03:11] <achilles> can anyone help me
[03:11] <montgoej> does anyone know why my right arrow key would just stop working?
[03:12] <tsukasa> hey my keyboard shortcut for launch terminal stopped working, but its still binded
[03:12] <wastrel> !ask | achilles
[03:12] <ubotu> achilles: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:12] <achilles> i cannot play video files in Ubuntu
[03:12] <stonebear> gotta ask the question achilles
[03:12] <montgoej> on my laptop, Acer ASpire 3680
[03:12] <Pelo> julius,  hold on
[03:12] <achilles> and have reinstaled the OS 12 times
[03:12] <wastrel> achilles: stop reinstalling
[03:12] <stonebear> have the codecs?
[03:12] <vocx> !codecs | achilles
[03:12] <ubotu> achilles: 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
[03:12] <achilles> i did man
[03:12] <achilles> all the stuff
[03:12] <darkcrab> i dont think ubuntu has adobe flashplayer preinstalled.
[03:12] <achilles> even installed fedora 7 same issue
[03:12] <Slart> Hello, I've got some problems restoring my grub boot thingy after I installed windows... now I'm stuck in gamer-land.. =/.. the usual root(blabla), setup(blabla) didn't work when I tried it.. any hints on what else to try?
[03:12] <vocx> !enter | achilles
[03:12] <ubotu> achilles: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:12] <Slart> !grub
[03:12] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:12] <shad0w1e> I would've realized after about the 2nd time reinstalling that the codecs arent going to work if i installed the OS again 30 more times...
[03:12] <achilles> ok
[03:13] <doctormo> anyone need me?
[03:13] <shad0w1e> I remember having to download a bunch of codecs and extracting them into the codec directory..
[03:13] <achilles> You wont belive i have been playiong around with it for 2 weeks and ended up buying a new CPU
[03:13] <stonebear> That's what i need to do
[03:13] <darkcrab> achilles, did you install adobe flashplayer?
[03:13] <wastrel> you just have to enable universe and multiverse, install flashplayer and mplayer and those gstreamer plugins
[03:13] <achilles> no
[03:13] <blix> folks
[03:13] <julius> Pelo, save it
[03:13] <julius> I'll bbl
[03:13] <julius> Sorry
[03:14] <gunspoja> Pelo, there aren't any links to websites anywhere, also I followed the instructions exactly as it said and added the dict server properly, but for some reason it still won't work :/
[03:14] <achilles> see i had Kubuntu for over a year and kaffeine was working fine
[03:14] <shad0w1e> hey does anyone know a good distro (with a decent UI, preferably XFCE) for a AMD 350mhz laptop with 96mb ram? Damn Small is kind of not enough.. thanks
[03:14] <vocx> Slart, boot up the Live CD and use "grub-install" in your mounted Hard drive. I cannot explain it in few words.
[03:14] <nagaozen> moorning
[03:14] <gunspoja> it just keeps returning the same error
[03:14] <darkcrab> you have to install flashplayer and those plugins just like you have to with windows.
[03:14] <achilles> till the other day it stopped playing avi and other video
[03:14] <blix> I'm on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS...I find it crashes after a while
[03:14] <sn0> shad0w1e any distro really, try fluxbox or another of the lighter window environments
[03:14] <blix> are later versions more reliable?
[03:14] <wastrel> achilles: can you play them with mplayer?
[03:14] <wastrel> which video player are you using?
[03:14] <stonebear> I just stream video to my tv via xbmc, i didnt bother w/ mplayer and all that.
[03:14] <Slart> vocx: done that.. didn't change a this.. still boots into windows =/
[03:14] <darkcrab> oh
[03:14] <achilles> i have wasted so much of time and money
[03:14] <Pelo> gunspoja, that's all I could do for you,  try looking in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[03:15] <achilles> i cannot play naything with any player not even on different flavor that is fedora
[03:15] <shad0w1e> sn0, what I like about Ubuntu is that it's newb friendly, automatic updates, nice installer, etc. I'd like a similiar setup, but with XFCE, I suppose. Fluxbox is kind of not enough
[03:15] <achilles> thats the thing i am so pissed
[03:15] <wastrel> shad0w1e: install xubuntu-desktop
[03:15] <shad0w1e> Will Xubuntu do all that?
[03:15] <gunspoja> achilles, im sure you are
[03:15] <stonebear> i really liked fluxbox
[03:15] <shad0w1e> ahh nice
[03:15] <achilles> i bought a new CPU all togather, last thing i want is to switch over to windows
[03:15] <shad0w1e> this is for someone coming from wnidows
[03:15] <sn0> xubuntu:)
[03:15] <gunspoja> achilles, cpu wouldn't have anything to do with it
[03:16] <vocx> Slart, I find that odd. You should have "grub-install"ed the MBR so you shouldn't be able to boot into Windows directly.
[03:16] <shad0w1e> want to be able to show them some basic stuff and have them be on their own
[03:16] <darkcrab> i would think graphics card.
[03:16] <achilles> yeah man but i was so pissed
[03:16] <mike05> GIJOE
[03:16] <gunspoja> that's no excuse for being pissed
[03:16] <mike05> 
[03:16] <shad0w1e> kool, thanks people
[03:16] <achilles> and even after 12 reinstalls there is no luck and no solution around
[03:16] <stonebear> heh
[03:16] <gunspoja> you might as well have bought a new house or car and complained about that :P
[03:16] <sn0> maybe check out lighter weight browsers and applications too shad0w1e
[03:16] <sn0> as firefox tends to use lots of ram :)
[03:16] <wastrel> achilles: the thing to do is stop reinstalling and start troubleshooting the actual problem.
[03:16] <darkcrab> have you run diagnostics on your graphic card achilles?
[03:16] <gunspoja> can you play raw video? (i.e. no codecs in use)
[03:16] <shad0w1e> yeah firefox is a hog
[03:16] <wastrel> achilles: have you installed the codecs and players and stuff?
[03:17] <shad0w1e> but it works with every page...
[03:17] <gunspoja> wastrel, he said he tried all that
[03:17] <darkcrab> he said he already has that stuff wastrel
[03:17] <shad0w1e> (almost)
[03:17] <achilles> yeah you know waht is happening now after reinstall when i play a avi file, kaffiene the screen stays blank and the video jumps in minutes
[03:17] <sn0> i find opera/ ephiphany to be quite light weight ( depends on load really ) but at my mums i use a k6-2 350 with 128meg ram and it runs great with opera
[03:17] <gunspoja> gday AusDude
[03:17] <Slart> vocx: yes.. all of the howto's agree with you.. they also claimed that the "root (hdX,Y), setup(hdX)" should fix it.. that didn't work either
[03:17] <darkcrab> Achilles, black, I almost bet its your video card man.
[03:17] <InSaNiTyIG> well, i got wine installed but i cant access programs. i installed AIM but it wont run
[03:17] <shad0w1e> sn0, pretty much my setup, a drop less ram. thanks opera might be good
[03:17] <gunspoja> achilles, video jumps?
[03:17] <Pelo> julius, you want to remove ubuntu-desktop ?
[03:17] <matthew__> i'm trying to open a local PHP file in Firefox, but it tries to download it, instead of opening it.  I have php5 and apache2 installed, what's the deal?
[03:17] <wastrel> achilles: are you using compiz or beryl?
[03:17] <achilles> where to start with am done with all thos w32codecs in /usr/lib/win32
[03:18] <gunspoja> achilles, so it does actually play, just with very poor performance?
[03:18] <achilles> nopes nothing
[03:18] <tsukasa> hey someone help -- my openoffice install has a bunch of square blocks in all the menus
[03:18] <achilles> am on ubuntu 6.10 fresh install
[03:18] <gunspoja> you said "the video jumps in minutes"?
[03:18] <BlindeApe> hey when i logon it always saves the state of the session but its not enabled...?
[03:18] <shad0w1e> matthew_, are you loading it as a file, or with an http://localhost kind of address?
[03:18] <Pelo> julius, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[03:18] <stonebear> matt : are you opening it up via the web and not from the folders?
[03:18] <achilles> video jumps means it jumps with 5 minutes of video n second and ends the entire movie
[03:18] <gunspoja> matthew_, do you have a webserver running?
[03:18] <Slart> vocx: then I figured the super grub boot disk would be a nice thing to try.. they said to chose language, what I'm running etc in a nice menu.. I burned the iso and all I got was a grub prompt.. I'm starting to think the world is conspiring to make me crazy
[03:19] <gunspoja> achilles, so it doesn't actually display any of the frames from the video?
[03:19] <vocx> Slart, and you checked your BIOS settings, and nothing? What is this, notebook or desktop?
[03:19] <InSaNiTyIG> do i need to do something else with wine to get programs to run? i cant get AIM running
[03:19] <gunspoja> achilles, does the little preview icon of the video work?
[03:19] <wastrel> InSaNiTyIG: you can get AIM for linux
[03:19] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, wine is tricky to use sometimes, things often don't just work straight away
[03:19] <nomasteryoda> Slart, nice disk... ya just boot promt
[03:19] <shad0w1e> what a strange thing to be using WINE for...
[03:19] <Slart> vocx: regular desktop.. it's been working fine until I installed winxp earlier today
  using http://localhost/index.php
[03:19] <achilles> nopes nothing
[03:19] <darkcrab> why would you want to wastrel?
[03:19] <Thormx> !
[03:19] <achilles> its all blank gunspoja
[03:19] <shad0w1e> matthew_, then you need to edit your apache config to load mod_php
[03:20] <gunspoja> achilles, try to play some raw video
[03:20] <achilles> and above all i cant even play mp3 files :(
[03:20] <gunspoja> uhh...weird
[03:20] <gunspoja> can you play WAV files
[03:20] <achilles> i need serious help am so frustrated
[03:20] <darkcrab> you cant play mp3 either?
[03:20] <andrew____> ok new question: i have tried to change my default mp3 player from totem to vlc several times.  each time it the action does not stick and the default is reset to totem for some reason.  fixes?
[03:20] <wastrel> achilles: sound works?
[03:20] <InSaNiTyIG> wastrel: i know, but it was a test exe
[03:20] <achilles> yeah it works
[03:20] <achilles> its a new CPU all together
[03:20] <darkcrab> fook, that makes me wonder if its not your gc, but maybe something with your sound card then.
[03:20] <wastrel> achilles: what happens when you try to play mp3
[03:20] <achilles> the basic welcome sound sall works
[03:21] <InSaNiTyIG> gunspoja: will a reboot get things using wine to work?
[03:21] <BlindeApe> Autosave state is disabled but anything in my previous session still loads, how can I fix this?
[03:21] <gunspoja> achilles, new cpu will have nothing to do with it
[03:21] <Llivavin> Can someone help me with my audio problem?
[03:21] <achilles> when i installed fedora with amarok it said xine do not have support for playing mp3
[03:21] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, as i said, things in wine don't always "just work" - linux isn't mac :P
[03:21] <vocx> !someone | Llivavin
[03:21] <ubotu> Llivavin: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:21] <darkcrab> does your system have a seperate graphics card or a combined intel chipset?
[03:21] <stonebear> achilles: You need a new cpu.
 what is the apache config file?
[03:21] <stonebear> 8P
[03:21] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, and rebooting probably won't help.  figure out what the problem is.  does it ask for dlls or something?
[03:21] <achilles> stonebear: i bouyght a new cpu mate
[03:21] <gunspoja> stonebear, no he doesn't...
[03:22] <gunspoja> don't give useless advice
[03:22] <Llivavin> ok vocx Can someone tell me what could cause audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Resource busy or not available. as an error?
[03:22] <shad0w1e> matthew_, not sure but running this command will tell you: grep -R "LoadModule" /etc/
[03:22] <InSaNiTyIG> gunspoja: it just doesnt load
[03:22] <achilles> its 4 in the morning and have not slept for 3 nights
[03:22] <achilles> trying to solve this
[03:22] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, does it DO anything? at all?
[03:22] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, the command-line should at least return some errors or something
[03:22] <stonebear> it was a joke, relax. 8)
[03:23] <darkcrab> achilles, I am just thinking that if the problem occurs on several seperate distributions, and it is just recent and you know it worked before, then it must be hardware related and not software.
[03:23] <gunspoja> achilles, get some sleep first...that is obviously more important than watching videos
[03:23] <achilles> help me guy help me justify my 500 dollars
[03:23] <gunspoja> achilles, its nobody's fault but yourself that you went and bought a cpu
[03:23] <vocx> Llivavin, are you testing the sound? I think I've seen that error, seems like a bug. It never appeared again in Feisty in my case.
[03:23] <stonebear> shoulda spent 75 on an an xbox + samba = media heaven.
[03:23] <achilles> darkcrab: you are right so the thing didnt work on both fedora as well as kubuntu so i bought a new cpu all together
[03:23] <gunspoja> darkcrab, I doubt it, all the codecs are software-based
[03:23] <BlindeApe> Autosave state is disabled but anything in my previous session still loads, how can I fix this?
[03:23] <achilles> but its exactly the same issue
[03:24] <Fr33sc4p3Guest> hey
[03:24] <Fr33sc4p3Guest> wassup?
[03:24] <achilles> gunspoja: can the dsub cable be causing the rpoblem
[03:24] <Fr33sc4p3Guest> how many ppl are on right now?
[03:24] <stonebear> 1096
[03:24] <gunspoja> achilles, you didn't answer my question about playing raw video
[03:24] <Llivavin> Hrm... is there a way to shut off the sound you get when you first login?
[03:24] <achilles> i ahve a lcd tv as monitor connected with Dsub cable
[03:24] <Pelo> Fr33sc4p3Guest, 1097
[03:24] <tsukasa> hey can someone help me... my openoffice menus are all squares
[03:24] <darkcrab> To me achilles, if it was a CPU issue, you would be seeing more performance problems rather than localized issues.
[03:24] <gunspoja> achilles, is it a laptop?
[03:24] <Fr33sc4p3Guest> how do i get limewire to my ipod?
[03:24] <achilles> gunspoja: i have not played where can i get it
[03:25] <wastrel> Llivavin: system > prefs > sound > sounds
[03:25] <InSaNiTyIG> gunspoja: i saw a few errors during install but i forget what
[03:25] <skyfaller> hey folks... do you recommend putting the 32 bit version or 64 bit version of Feisty on my Macbook Pro?
[03:25] <achilles> no its a desktop with a LCd tv as a monitor
[03:25] <skyfaller> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookProSantaRosa  doesn't indicate any preference
[03:25] <Pelo> tsukasa,  in OOo, menu > tools > options > display :  toolbar I think , select default or automatix
[03:25] <InSaNiTyIG> im trying to uninstall but its not letting me. cant access instal.log
[03:25] <InSaNiTyIG> trying to find it
[03:25] <gunspoja> achilles, I have  the same setup, it shouldn't be a problem
[03:25] <achilles> connected witha 15 pin DSUB cable i ahve fine display anyways
[03:25] <Llivavin> lets see...
[03:25] <tsukasa> Pelo: i cant read my menus, how am i supposed to do that
[03:25] <gunspoja> InSaNiTyIG, sometimes wine has permission errors, but don't ever EVER run it with sudo
[03:25] <Fr33sc4p3Guest> how do i get limewire songs to my ipod?
[03:25] <achilles> yeah i dint had too till the other day
[03:25] <achilles> me and ub untu were haveing fun for 1 year
[03:26] <shad0w1e> skyfaller, 64 bit is a bit faster (especially if you are doing CPU intensive stuff like video encoding / etc) but at the expense of some software packages not working. Depends on your needs.
[03:26] <darkcrab> and the fact that you changed your CPU, and it didnt help, confirms that it is probabably not the CPU achilles, but, also make sure linux is configuring your new CPU correctly.
[03:26] <InSaNiTyIG> dont worry im not
[03:26] <Pelo> tsukasa,  the menus are square, sorry i thoguth you meant the toolbar icons,  did you play with your system fonts ?  what language did you set  ubuntu to use ?
[03:26] <gunspoja> Fr33sc4p3Guest, you can use winamp to manage an ipod
[03:26] <achilles> yeah darkcrab i reinstalled OS on it almost 4 times
[03:26] <acee1235> any suggestions for AV/firewall for ubuntu?
[03:26] <shad0w1e> for basic desktop use, I'd lean towards 32-bit, especially if you aren't too experienced with Linux
[03:26] <tsukasa> Pelo: i set it to use english but apparently openoffice didnt get the note
[03:26] <achilles> gunspoja: where can i get raw video to try out
[03:26] <gunspoja> Fr33sc4p3Guest, there's also about ten thousand other ipod tools around
[03:27] <arooni_> advice on resizing my laptops hard drive.  i was thinking of doing:  10GB for /, 81.97 gb for /home, and 2 GB for swap ...... does this make sense?  should I do something else?
[03:27] <gunspoja> achilles, no idea, google it and you'll probably find some
[03:27] <wastrel> acee1235: av isn't strictly necessary.  firestarter is a good gui for the built-in firewall
[03:27] <achilles> this thing is really frustrating
[03:27] <skyfaller> shad0w1e: ok, makes sense... I want to run Compiz and play computer games, does that make any difference?
[03:27] <gunspoja> or "ubuntu-firewall"
[03:27] <acee1235> thanks
[03:27] <darkcrab> so my best suggestions for you achilles is to run driver diagnostics within ubuntu from command line for both your graphics and sound cards and see what comes up.
[03:27] <gunspoja> for antivirus i sometimes use avast since its good and free
[03:27] <Pelo> tsukasa,   go in synpatic,   do a search for openoffice.org,  install the proper englsh packages,  also do the same for  the gnome ones , just in case
[03:27] <InSaNiTyIG> during uninstall. i get this error: could not find dll C:\prog files\aim\aimapi.dll
[03:27] <vocx> skyfaller, if you install the 64 bit version, I encourage you to read the 64 bit subforum in ubuntuforums.org. They have tips to make programs work.
[03:27] <shad0w1e> skyfaller, not sure.. check with the guys how they run (Cedega, I assume?) on 64-bit
[03:27] <darkcrab> if you check on the vender sites, usually they have advice on how to run their diagnostics.
[03:27] <achilles> you people are my last hope after that i am switicing to that pathetic windows
[03:27] <wastrel> arooni_: that sounds just fine  i have about 6.5 gb in / at the moment
[03:28] <skyfaller> shad0w1e: well, I'm only interested in open source games of course :)
[03:28] <Pelo> later folks
[03:28] <gunspoja> skyfaller, just use the 32bit version
[03:28] <stonebear> windows isnt too pathetic imo
[03:28] <darkcrab> achilles, more than likely if its a hardware issue and you switch to windows, it wont get any better.
[03:28] <achilles> gunspoja: what should i do
[03:28] <gunspoja> skyfaller, 64bit isn't worth it at the moment, in my opinion
[03:29] <shad0w1e> I think they're answering well... 64 may actually work in your situation but don't even think you'd benefit much
[03:29] <achilles> it cannot be a hardware issue as i eliminated that possibility buy buying a new CPU all together
[03:29] <gunspoja> achilles, I told you.  get some raw video that uses no codecs and try to play that.  if it doesn't work then you know its not a codec problem, if it does work then it probably is
[03:29] <wo0f> i have a raid0 array and want to dual boot with ubuntu, but the installer doesnt detect my array! only the individual drives
[03:29] <gunspoja> achilles, there is more hardware in your computer than just the cpu, so thats not necessarily true
[03:29] <achilles> ok wait gunspoja i just google it
[03:29] <darkcrab> just because you buy a new CPU doesnt mean that your Graphics card, sound card, ram chips, motherboard, etc. are not going bad.
[03:29] <gunspoja> yes
[03:29] <shad0w1e> matthew_, any luck?
[03:29] <gunspoja> skyfaller, why do you want to install 64bit?
[03:29] <jacob> what does "ndiswrapper -m" does?
[03:30] <airstrike_> how do i draw a god damn square on gimp?
[03:30] <achilles> lol gunspoja google gets me WWE videos
[03:30] <shad0w1e> because 64 bits > 32 bits!
[03:30] <gunspoja> heheh
[03:30] <skyfaller> gunspoja: I'm not really sure, I guess I want Compiz and computer games to run faster :)
[03:30] <vocx> gunspoja, darkcrab I think achilles is referring to "CPU" as the whole computer, not just the processor... but that is my guess.
[03:30] <tsukasa> Pelo: its already installed
[03:30] <gunspoja> skyfaller, they won't by much
[03:30] <stonebear> airstrike: use the box select> fill> contract> delete
[03:30] <frankg> is it 6.10 with LTS?
[03:30] <darkcrab> ahhhh
[03:30] <wo0f> i have a raid0 array and want to dual boot with ubuntu, but the installer doesnt detect my array! only the individual drives
[03:30] <airstrike_> you dont need 64 for compiz
[03:30] <gunspoja> vocx, that never occured to me
[03:30] <darkcrab> well, if you bought a completely new computer then that would be a different issue all together.
[03:30] <gunspoja> you don't need 64 for ANYTHING except for having a ridiculous amount of ram
[03:30] <wastrel> frankg: 6.04 is LTS iirc
[03:31] <shad0w1e> the real benefit on 64 bit is on encoding and other CPU intensive stuff (but only for apps rewritten in 64 bit)
[03:31] <gunspoja> achilles, did you buy a whole new computer?
[03:31] <darkcrab> and everything I have said is rather pointless.
[03:31] <stonebear> hah
[03:31] <bluestreak_> I am back with DVD / CD Rom problem with my D620
[03:31] <skyfaller> gunspoja: ooh, tell me more about that... I'm thinking of getting 4 gigs of ram, I currently only have 2 gigs
[03:31] <bluestreak_> I can read DVDs but can not read CD
[03:31] <bluestreak_> its SATA DVD Drive
[03:31] <shad0w1e> yeah, and since the RAM limit is a lot higher on Linux than it is on Windows for 32-bit (i think 8gb on Linux), most likely all your ram will be recognized on 32bit
[03:31] <jacob> can somebody please explain to me what "ndiswrapper -m" does?
[03:31] <gunspoja> skyfaller, you will NOT need 4gb of ram unless you are planning on doing some extremely hardcore stuff
[03:31] <bluestreak_> I could get it fixed with loading libata and recreate
[03:31] <gunspoja> skyfaller, and games + compix is definitely not hardcore
[03:32] <gunspoja> *compiz
[03:32] <achilles> gunspoja: i cant find any help mw
[03:32] <gunspoja> jacob: man ndiswrapper
[03:32] <achilles> me
[03:32] <wastrel> jacob: i don't have ndiswrapper installed, but maybe try  man ndiswrapper  and search for -m  ( /-m<enter> ,  n to move oto next match)
[03:32] <achilles> gunspoja: yes i did by a whoel new cpu
[03:32] <skyfaller> gunspoja: hm, you probably have a point :)  I am also interested in video encoding etc., but some @$$hole stole my camcorder so I don't really need video editing right now >.<
[03:32] <gunspoja> achilles, do you know what a cpu actually IS?
[03:32] <achilles> of course except keyborad mouse and monitor
[03:32] <wo0f> i have a raid0 array and want to dual boot with ubuntu, but the installer doesnt detect my array! only the individual drives
[03:32] <gunspoja> achilles, it is not a box with stuff in it, it is a tiny little chip that goes into the motherboard
[03:32] <darkcrab> LMFAO.
[03:33] <gunspoja> achilles, so what you meant to say is "I bought a new computer"
[03:33] <darkcrab> ok, nvm my whole conversation.
[03:33] <achilles> new mainboard processor power supply and RAM and hard disk
[03:33] <stonebear> hehe
[03:33] <gunspoja> yes, that's more like it
[03:33] <dezordia> anybody has a Eric4 .deb for kubuntu ? or a URL for source.lists to install it ?
[03:33] <skyfaller> shad0w1e: what is the RAM limit for 32-bit on Ubuntu?
[03:33] <gunspoja> wow, thats an awful way to try and fix a problem achilles
[03:33] <shad0w1e> guys, I don't know, what is it?
[03:33] <vocx> skyfaller, as gunspoja says, 64 bit benefits are only seen by those scientist doing heavy 3D modeling and research.And they don't use Compiz and play games. And they have more than 4 GB, I don't know, maybe 60 or more GB.
[03:33] <user_> Has anyone here ever used gcc with pkg-config?
[03:33] <gunspoja> skyfaller, far more than you are going to be able to put into a box any time soon
[03:33] <stonebear> buying new computer for linux = insanity
[03:34] <achilles> yeah coz i ahve a 9 year old machine so looking to upgarde it
[03:34] <achilles> and it worked as an excuse
[03:34] <achilles> :(
[03:34] <darkcrab> yea, actually I read something that ubuntu has a problem with the new Core 2 duos and needs to be patched.
[03:34] <stonebear> I usually wait till their about 5 years old until i introduce it to linux. 8)
[03:34] <gunspoja> achilles, oh ok
[03:34] <skyfaller> OK, so 64-bit is not interesting to the normal consumer is what I'm hearing
[03:34] <tyler_> hey what's that trick to stop firefox from loading buttons and themes?
[03:34] <DreadKnight> can someone who knows how to compile help me with something? ;)
[03:34] <gunspoja> darkcrab, I have a core 2 duo and have had no cpu-related problems
[03:34] <achilles> yeah i ahve core2 duo
[03:34] <gunspoja> skyfaller, the cons outweigh the pros
[03:34] <InSaNiTyIG> gunspoja: all the files are in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/AIM
[03:34] <jacob> wastrel "ndiswrapper -m" says "writes an alias for wlan0 (default wireless device) into module configuration file so that ndiswrapper kernel module is loaded automatically when this interface is used."
[03:34] <user_> Has anyone here ever used gcc with pkg-config?
[03:34] <achilles> see the OS is working fine
[03:34] <shad0w1e> skyfaller, netiher is Linux in general, but heh, yes, that is correct
[03:34] <InSaNiTyIG> so i dont know why its erroring out
[03:34] <dezordia> anybody has a ideia?
[03:35] <darkcrab> eh, it was some article, maybe they were wrong.
[03:35] <achilles> only prob is i cant play video and mp3
[03:35] <BlindeApe> Autosave state is disabled but anything in my previous session still loads, how can I fix this?
[03:35] <gunspoja> skyfaller, some 3rd-party 32bit software won't work on 64bit either
[03:35] <vocx> skyfaller, if you read the 64-bit forums you'll see they support it, but obviously not all programs are available yet.
[03:35] <jacob> wastrel, you think  you can try to explain that to me, i'm basicall new in linux
[03:35] <bluestreak_> Hey guys can some one help me with d620 dvd problem?
[03:35] <bluestreak_> please :D
[03:35] <verb3k_>  /msg nickserv identify 5557600
[03:35] <skyfaller> alright, 32 bits it is!  thanks for your input folks :)  now I'll go wrestle with my Macbook Pro
[03:35] <gunspoja> np
[03:35] <verb3k_> ops
[03:35] <darkcrab> ok, back to square 1.
[03:35] <achilles> i guess i need to spedn 2 more dollars and buy a new dsub cable
[03:35] <wastrel> jacob: it sets the proper driver for your wireless card so you get the right driver when you reboot
[03:35] <darkcrab> achilles, have you installed all the video codecs, flashplayer on your new computer.
[03:36] <gunspoja> achilles, don't run off to buy things if you haven't tried all debugging possibilities yet
[03:36] <achilles> gunspoja: i wasted two weeks to troubleshoot the issue than i wnet for a new CPU
[03:36] <jacob> wastrel, ok thanks
[03:36] <achilles> have not installed flashplayer yet gunspoja
[03:36] <gunspoja> achilles, during those 2 weeks, did you try playing video that has no codecs at all?
[03:36] <Borked|Raider> Hey, is it posible to run poker games like from betway.com on linux? could not find any info on their own site
[03:36] <wastrel> jacob: in this context "module" = driver
[03:36] <darkcrab> ok, you definitely need to install flashplayer.
[03:36] <wo0f> i have a raid0 array and want to dual boot with ubuntu, but the installer doesnt detect my array! only the individual drives
[03:36] <gunspoja> DreadKnight, or you could do it yourself...
[03:36] <jacob> wastrel ok
[03:37] <gunspoja> what would he need flashplayer for just to play videos
[03:37] <wo0f> lol DreadKnight why cant you do it your self?
[03:37] <darkcrab> but, but, that shouldnt be why caffeine does work.
[03:37] <darkcrab> doesnt
[03:37] <gunspoja> he probably doesn't know how and is too lazy to learn
[03:37] <darkcrab> i was thinking online videos.
[03:37] <DreadKnight> because it's not very clear to me.. i never managed to compile something despite my efforts... and i'm sure it's very simple
[03:37] <achilles> gunspoja: i ahve not tried playing any raw video
[03:37] <jacob> wastrel, you think you can figure out why i can only connect to my own wireless router instead of using a public one, one such as the one in the public library of new york
[03:37] <wo0f> DreadKnight, google 'linux make'
[03:37] <achilles> and you tube videos were wroking fine for me
[03:38] <gunspoja> well then its not a cable problem because your monitor can obviously display video
[03:38] <darkcrab> you tube runs off flash I think
[03:38] <jacob> wastrel, i installed the driver but out of all the wireless routers i've tried, it only works with my own
[03:38] <gunspoja> yes it does
[03:38] <DreadKnight> wo0f no really... can you compile it for me? please man
[03:38] <BlindeApe> Autosave state is disabled but anything in my previous session still loads, how can I fix this?
[03:38] <jacob> wastrel, i'll give you the name of my router in a sec
[03:38] <stonebear> achilles: Could be divine intervention..
[03:38] <wo0f> DreadKnight, google 'linux make' !!!!!!!!!!1
[03:38] <gunspoja> achilles, I can't understand why you don't just download some raw video and play that...
[03:38] <wastrel> jacob: i'm afraid i don't know anything about ndiswrapper
[03:38] <gunspoja> it will be extremely informative for you
[03:39] <achilles> yeah gunspoja but i cant find any raw videos give me some link to download if you can please
[03:39] <gunspoja> raw is not WWE RAW, raw means no codecs
[03:39] <achilles> stonebear: i gues you are right its something to do with fate

[03:39] <gunspoja> achilles, for someone who spent 2 weeks troubleshooting and hasn't slept for 3 days, you seem to be very lazy...
[03:39] <jacob> wastrel oh ok, sorry
[03:39] <wastrel> jacob: however, if the wireless is working at all, even with just your own access point, it's not a driver issue probbaly but a configuration issue.
[03:39] <achilles> I am finally planning to give up had enough frustrated to hell
 folks gparted keeps crashing when i try to reszie partitions on my ubuntu live cd; any ideas?
[03:39] <arooni_> heh
[03:40] <jacob> wastrel, that's true, didn't think of that, thanks for your help

[03:40] <andrew____> hello again.   i want to change the 'emblem' (icon) for mp3 files on my machine.  does anyone know where most of the .png files are stored on my computer? (specifically i'm looking or the vlc png)

[03:42] <achilles> right now
[03:42] <vocx> lwizardl, I suggest you a different approach. Search ubuntuforums.org for the card you wish to buy and see the comments of various users.
[03:42] <DreadKnight> wo0f .. ok thanks.. will give it a try :\
[03:42] <yoo> hi
[03:42] <wo0f> DreadKnight, if you going to use linux, you NEED to learn how to use make.
[03:42] <yoo> installed ubuntu, now whats next....?
[03:42] <Test902> nice
[03:43] <Test902> k, NOOB here

[03:43] <Test902> How do I change my nick
[03:43] <wo0f> DreadKnight, its just how you install things on linux
[03:43] <bluestreak_> !repeat
[03:43] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[03:43] <gunspoja> its a RAW episode of bleach, doesn't use any codecs at all
[03:43] <andrew____> ah ok i found the .png   how do i change EVERY mp3 on my machine to have the vlc emblem instead of the green music notes?
[03:43] <wo0f> DreadKnight, you cant use package managers for everything
[03:43] <vocx> wo0f, not really. Make is for programmers. A user only needs a powerful system like synaptic.
[03:43] <DreadKnight> wo0f i'm using ubuntu for about an year now.. no problems like that..

[03:43] <gunspoja> achilles, 138mb = smallest I could find on short notice, should take a little while to dl but not too long
[03:43] <tsukasa> gunspoja: your dumb lol...
[03:43] <gunspoja> what?

[03:44] <DreadKnight> vocx i agree with you :D
[03:44] <wo0f> vocx, synaptic is a front end for apt
[03:44] <gunspoja> that's what RAW usually means
[03:44] <gunspoja> bah, stupid fansubbers
[03:44] <achilles> gunspoja: that is big will atke around 30 minutes
[03:44] <vocx> wo0f, that was rude... I pretend I did not hear that.
[03:44] <jacob> can somebody explain to me why the wireless driver i installed only works on my router (802.11b) and not in a public place such as the library. somebody already told me it could be a configuration issue. Can it be something else?
[03:44] <gunspoja> thanks, tsukasa,

[03:44] <wo0f> vocx, make is NOT just for programmers
[03:45] <DreadKnight> wocv wo0f ubuntu needs things like synaptic, it has to be userfriendly :P

[03:45] <DreadKnight> lol
[03:45] <wo0f> vocx, DreadKnight synaptic is a front end for APT
[03:45] <DreadKnight> "make" and compile are things that scare people away from linux
[03:46] <Test902> has anyone here setup SYNERGY on Ubuntu?
[03:46] <howlingmadhowie> vocx: make can automate lots of stuff. i use it for uploading files to a subversion repository :)
[03:46] <jacob> can somebody explain to me why the wireless driver i installed only works on my router (802.11b) and not in a public place such as the library. somebody already told me it could be a configuration issue. Can it be something else?
[03:46] <wastrel> never heard of SYNERGY
[03:46] <bluestreak_> having Problem with SATA DVD Rom on Dell D620, I can read DVDs but not VCDs
[03:46] <vocx> wo0f, totally not polite. And I know about synaptic and apt, I didn't say otherwise.

[03:46] <achilles> gunspoja: how long you are here
[03:46] <gunspoja> achilles, no idea
[03:46] <born_to_lose> is ubuntu one secure operatring system?
[03:46] <wastrel> wo0f: thanks for hanging around to help people but this discussion is getting offtopic
[03:47] <wo0f> vocx, well please stop mis-leading people by telling them that make is for programmers
[03:47] <darkcrab> which is more secure, linux or mac
[03:47] <DreadKnight> you are missing my point here: end users are scared to get their hands dirty....
[03:47] <gunspoja> born_to_lose, its more secure than the alternatives
[03:47] <Test902> If you have not heard of SYNERGY then  it is a application that shares mouse, clipboard and keyboard via tcp/ip over multiple different os's/machines
[03:47] <wo0f> every linux user of what ever distro needs to know how to use make
[03:47] <born_to_lose> darkcrab windows is more secure
[03:47] <gunspoja> born_to_lose, linux, if you know how to secure it properly.  you have more options with linux
[03:47] <darkcrab> linux or osx i mean
[03:47] <born_to_lose> it works ....
[03:47] <DreadKnight> darkcrab: ubuntu
[03:47] <wastrel> wo0f: #ubuntu-offtopic for general ranting pls :] 
[03:47] <gunspoja> uhh, I hope you were joking about windows being secure...
[03:47] <BlindeApe> lol
[03:47] <DreadKnight> lol
[03:47] <vocx> wo0f, I disagree. But as wastrel says.
[03:47] <born_to_lose> the firewalll works when the computer start on ubuntu dont lol
[03:48] <wo0f> what the hell are you guys on about
[03:48] <jacob> is there a room for networking anyone?
[03:48] <wo0f> your WRONG
[03:48] <Test902> ok, how do i tell what programs are running in Ubuntu
[03:48] <gunspoja> born_to_lose, yes it does
[03:48] <wo0f> im helping by telling the facts
[03:48] <Test902> I gotta change this nick
[03:48] <born_to_lose> so you dont know the firewalll bug?

[03:48] <wastrel> wo0f: you've told the facts several times at this point :] 
[03:48] <wo0f> synaptic is for PRECOMPILED apps NOT SOURCE
[03:48] <sarixe> hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu on a dell inspiron 1721, and it's not recognizing any video hardware, even on lspci
[03:48] <gunspoja> born_to_lose, that depends on which firewall
[03:48] <maltaethiron> hey, who can help me install wine?
[03:48] <BlindeApe> stop arguing and help: Autosave state is disabled but anything in my previous session still loads, how can I fix this?
[03:48] <wo0f> wastrel, :/
[03:48] <heguru> jacob: ask your question here if its networking + ubuntu
[03:48] <wo0f> get real
[03:49] <howlingmadhowie> born_to_lose: the firewall in the linux kernel (netfilter) is pretty secure.
[03:49] <Test902> heguru
[03:49] <Test902> i have a synergy network question
[03:49] <darkcrab> i like how knoppix comes preinstalled with wine.
[03:49] <maltaethiron> speaking of...
[03:49] <maltaethiron> can somebody help me install wine?
[03:49] <born_to_lose> gunsponja you dont know that ubuntu have the firestart bug that makes th efirewall dont run after the computer rebot makesd the persons think they have one firewall but need to run in mannualluy? lol
[03:49] <gunspoja> darkcrab, wine isn't exactly hard to install...
[03:49] <born_to_lose> and they say linux is secure?
[03:49] <born_to_lose> LOL
[03:49] <Test902> /heguru test
[03:49] <howlingmadhowie> maltaethiron: i thought wine was in the repositories
[03:49] <gunspoja> born_to_lose, the firewall doesnt "turn off"...
[03:49] <darkcrab> eh, I know, but it is a nice gesture for a live distro
[03:49] <julius> Pelo: can you post that link now?
[03:49] <tyler_> sarixe: try lshw as root instead of lspci and are you might want to try nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf set driver to vesa so you can enter desktop and get your card working properly
[03:49] <DreadKnight> woud have been nice that source file where archieved in a certain format.. and to be an aplication asociated with the format, with front-end GUI to make things nicer.. not from terminal.. scares people :P
[03:49] <janelle> ive got a ati card that im having a weird issue with, for example in nexuiz im getting about 165 fps in a room until someone else runs by then it drops to about 3 fps
[03:50] <gunspoja> born_to_lose, and in any case, it would be a simple matter to restart it even if it did
[03:50] <heguru> Test902: testing me? lol
[03:50] <wastrel> born_to_lose: the firewall is in the kernel, it comes with linux by default.
[03:50] <sarixe> tyler_ : ok
[03:50] <V4mp> hey guess where would i locate the network config to assign a static ip to my wifi ?
[03:50] <blix> any have issues with JRE in 6.06 LTS?
[03:50] <maltaethiron> howlingmadhowie: i havent gotten new repositories yet, where can i get better ones?
[03:50] <BlindeApe> wastrel: Autosave state is disabled but anything in my previous session still loads, how can I fix this, please?
[03:50] <jacob> heguru, something that i asked a few minutes ago, "can somebody explain to me why the wireless driver i installed only works on my router (802.11b) and not in a public place such as the library. somebody already told me it could be a configuration issue. Can it be something else?"
[03:50] <born_to_lose> gunsponja no just dont run at  the init LOLL to the persons think they have it runing and dont have nathing LOL
[03:50] <wastrel> BlindeApe: no idea :] 
[03:50] <Test902> how do i get a persons name to show up when i type at them?
[03:50] <gnomefreak> wo0f: you can grab sources from synaptic as well, look to your left when you open it it should list sources
[03:50] <tyler_> sarixe: be warned vesa is a slow diagnostic video driver
[03:50] <bluestreak_> having Problem with SATA DVD Rom on Dell D620, I can read DVDs but not VCDs, it gives me buffer I/O error
[03:50] <gunspoja> born_to_lose, you love saying LOL a lot, don't you?  it makes you sound a bit like a troll...
[03:50] <BlindeApe> :(
[03:51] <V4mp> *guys
[03:51] <gunspoja> born_to_lose, i suggest you go back to trolling slashdot or 4chan
[03:51] <jacob> heguru, i guess i just neet to wait for a newer version of ndiswrapper
[03:51] <gunspoja> born_to_lose, this really isn't the place for baiting people
[03:51] <DreadKnight> trolls will rule teh earth! twice
[03:51] <tyler_> jacob: the one at ndiswrapper site isn't new enough??
[03:51] <howlingmadhowie> born_to_lose: if you switched off the linux firewall, all networking would stop
[03:51] <gnomefreak> gunspoja: please stop provoking
[03:51] <tyler_> jacob: try compiling the unstable one then
[03:51] <BlindeApe> so much offtopic shtuff today..
[03:51] <kst> :>
[03:51] <InSaNiTyIG> so how can i fix this wine problem. my issue is the files arent being recognized
[03:52] <born_to_lose> ubuntu dont care about security lol
[03:52] <wastrel> i have no idea where gnome sessions are saved
[03:52] <BlindeApe> Pelo, you're smart :P, Autosave state is disabled but anything in my previous session still loads, how can I fix this?
[03:52] <sistom> ubuntu keeps having errors while installing on my laptop
[03:52] <jacob> tyler_, according to my book, ndiswrapper only works in a number of drivers only
[03:52] <tyler_> InSaNiTyIG: right click choose open with do custom command put wine and check always do this
[03:52] <bluestreak_> Hey guys! can some one help on this
[03:52] <bluestreak_> having Problem with SATA DVD Rom on Dell D620, I can read DVDs but not VCDs, it gives me buffer I/O error
[03:53] <gunspoja> ty gnomefreak
[03:53] <janelle> ive got a ati vdeocard issue anyone care to give me a hand?
[03:53] <howlingmadhowie> maltaethiron: you can enable repositories graphically in the synaptic package manager. wine should be in one of the standard repositories, if you're using 7.04 (feisty)
[03:53] <jacob> tyler_, i'm i right?
[03:53] <jacob> tyler_, i could be wrong?
[03:53] <gnomefreak> born_to_lose: if you are not here to help people or get help with ubuntu support please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:53] <born_to_lose> bluestreak_ use windows that you dont have this erros
[03:53] <tyler_> jacob: books are useless if you want to know ndiswrapper go to their site and grab latest they offer
[03:53] <sistom> it was jsut installed a fresh install. Formatting my whole hard drive and at about 45% and I look back down and it is jsut the desktop sitting there.
[03:53] <sistom> what happened?
[03:53] <tyler_> jacob: if there is any writing about your card on ndiswrapper list then there is hope for it
[03:53] <V4mp> where would i locate the network config to assign a static ip to my wifi ?
[03:53] <jacob> tyler, thanks for your help, i'll do more research
[03:54] <wastrel> V4mp: /etc/network/interfaces
[03:54] <bulmer> V4mp: /etc/network/interfaces
[03:54] <bluestreak_> born_to_lose thats not the right answer
[03:54] <gnomefreak> bluestreak_: hes gone
[03:54] <achilles> gunspoja: actually first it gave me the error cant find demux for avi files
[03:54] <Yorke_and_Vedder> Hello, I've been trying to figure this out, and I've searched the Ubuntu FAQs, but I can't find the answer...  What are the differences between the regular version of Ubuntu Desktop and the LTS version?  Aside from how long they get support?
[03:54] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: first question: would you say your computer meets the minimum requirements?
[03:54] <sistom> yes
[03:54] <achilles> and now its blank with jumping video and no error
[03:54] <sistom> it is a nice lapto
[03:54] <sistom> laptop
[03:54] <sistom> I am removing vista from it
[03:54] <sistom> and installing ubuntu
[03:54] <sistom> so it is capable
[03:54] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: that would be a big yes, then :)
[03:54] <bluestreak_> gnomefreak appreciate your response. he was rude
[03:55] <wastrel> !lts | Yorke_and_Vedder
[03:55] <ubotu> Yorke_and_Vedder: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[03:55] <sistom> well see it is a gateway
[03:55] <Yorke_and_Vedder> Thank you ubotu, but is that the only difference?  Why do they have different version numbers?
[03:55] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: next question, where did you get the disk? is there a possibility that the disk isn't okay? (scratched, badly burned, etc...)
[03:56] <DreadKnight> !lts | Chuck_Norris
[03:56] <ubotu> Chuck_Norris: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[03:56] <howlingmadhowie> Yorke_and_Vedder: the version number gives the date of release
[03:56] <phenom> The Firestarter issue is true, you must add a line to your local.rc to run it at boot. I find that concerning enough to warn people about. :)
[03:56] <sistom> It came with The Official Ubuntu Book
[03:56] <sistom> cd is fine.
[03:56] <sistom> I am downloading it now though just incase it is the cd
[03:56] <InSaNiTyIG> its not that. the files arent accessible. when i run uninstaller it says cant find module and gives me 4 errors in console
[03:56] <gunspoja> there's a book? :O
[03:56] <wastrel> Yorke_and_Vedder: the current LTS is 6.04 because that's when it was released ( the "dapper drake" release)
[03:56] <jacob> tyler_, what is the package "ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.20-1" for? can it fix my problem?
[03:56] <DreadKnight> gunspoja yes
[03:56] <howlingmadhowie> Yorke_and_Vedder: for example feisty fawn was the development name for ubuntu704 which was released on 2007 april
[03:56] <Yorke_and_Vedder> So....  I'm not sure...  Why would I pick the regular version, if it has less support?
[03:56] <gunspoja> sistom, you could always just verify the cd
[03:57] <sistom> on start? the cd test option?
[03:57] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: what version of ubuntu is it?
[03:57] <gunspoja> sistom, yes
[03:57] <wastrel> Yorke_and_Vedder: the regular version is more current.  LTS is frozen and only receives security updates.
[03:57] <phenom> I among everyone has/does think it sets iptables confic at shutdown. But it doesn't even after you enable every option in firestarter to boot, iptables is not running "at boot".
[03:57] <howlingmadhowie> Yorke_and_Vedder: all the packages are a year more modern and that means a lot in the linux world.
[03:57] <irisa> how do u run a cd with files on it
[03:57] <sistom> version 7.04
[03:57] <Yorke_and_Vedder> Thank you Wastrel...  So does that mean that the regular version is more, um...  unstable than the LTS version?
[03:58] <V4mp> how would i fill out the interfaces to set it up for static ip's ?
[03:58] <InSaNiTyIG> how can i fix the problem with not recognizing files during uninstaller for wine?
[03:58] <gunspoja> sistom, the supported version is 6.06.  its older, but more stable.  the current version is 7.04, which has newer stuff in it but probably isn't quite as stable
[03:58] <Madpilot> Yorke_and_Vedder, no, the current version is perfectly stable. LTS is aimed at business/corporate types
[03:58] <V4mp> as its auto wlan0 at present, iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[03:58] <howlingmadhowie> Yorke_and_Vedder: not really. linux development moves so fast, packages tend to become more stable anyway with time
[03:58] <sistom> checking cd for defects
[03:58] <sistom> one sec....
[03:58] <bulmer> phenom: come again? you want to have iptables working after boot?
[03:58] <wastrel> Yorke_and_Vedder: ideally not.  the idea behind LTS is for corporate users or servers , who need a platform that doesn't change frequently but want bugfixes and security updates.
[03:58] <sistom> so I should be downloading what version?
[03:58] <sarixe> i tried sudo lshw, and it found it at 1:5:0.  however, i ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and it couldn't autodetect my hardware.
[03:58] <yoo> i just installed, now i am setting here thinking what to do with linux, i want some fun... what can i do?
[03:59] <gunspoja> sistom, depends what you want to use it for.  if you just want to /use/ it, then go for 7.04
[03:59] <trpr> heh. same troll different name
[03:59] <gunspoja> most people use that one anyway and it's pretty solid
[03:59] <bluestreak_> having Problem with SATA DVD Rom on Dell D620, I can read DVDs but not VCDs, it gives me buffer I/O error
[03:59] <gnomefreak> trpr: ?
[03:59] <heguru> sistom: Ubuntu 6.06 if you want to install on a server. 7.04 if you want it on a desktop/notebook
[03:59] <sistom> it is a notebook
[03:59] <sistom> but
[03:59] <Yorke_and_Vedder> Well then, I think I will download the current version.  Thank you all very much for your help!   :)
[03:59] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: upgrading it to the new release takes just the press of a button (and a fast internet connection) anyway.
[03:59] <gunspoja> np, Yorke_and_Vedder
[04:00] <sistom> I do want the most secure version possible
[04:00] <Oliazk> question --- i am looking for some tools to check the health of some hard drives old hard drives to make sure they dont have any bad sectors and such on them
[04:00] <gunspoja> sistom, stable is not the same as secure
[04:00] <Elijah> test
[04:00] <gunspoja> sistom, both are very secure
[04:00] <gnomefreak> Elijah: works
[04:00] <yoo> could someone guide me on how to install those fancy themes, and do they slow the system down?
[04:00] <sistom> I understand stable != secure
[04:00] <wastrel> sistom: use the most current stable release version unless you have a specific reason to want LTS
[04:00] <gunspoja> yoo, yes they do. anything you run is going to slow the system down at least a bit
[04:00] <heguru> sistom: both 6.06 and 7.04 are secure.
[04:00] <sistom> I just want the thing installed
[04:00] <sistom> lol
[04:00] <gunspoja> yoo, are you referring to beryl and compiz etc?
[04:00] <gunspoja> sistom, get 7.04 then
[04:01] <sistom> I've got it
[04:01] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: the new version also has a kernel with some great improvements in it compared with the kernel of 6.06
[04:01] <bluestreak_> dmesg gives me this as error  end_request: I/O error, dev sr0
[04:01] <sistom> it came with a book I bought tonight and I am downloading it as well just incase the brand new cd has defects
[04:01] <yoo> beryl is just a kiddy program and i dont know about compiz
[04:01] <gunspoja> yoo, so what "fancy" themes are you after?
[04:01] <yoo> could u post some links here on how to obtain and install themes on ubuntu
[04:01] <phenom> bulmer: I wanted the setting from FS to set rules that would boot at start yes. I had to add a line to my local.rc, that would set rules for iptables at start.
[04:01] <gunspoja> I can't think of much more fancy than compiz-fusion + emerald...
[04:01] <gnomefreak> !themes | yoo
[04:01] <ubotu> yoo: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[04:02] <gnomefreak> that enough?
[04:02] <yoo> i have seen so many thrugh google
[04:02] <andrew____> i would like to change the icon associated with all .mp3 files on my system.  suggestions/
[04:02] <gunspoja> yoo, do you mean the normal ubuntu theme stuff?  that's hardly "fancy" :/
[04:02] <howlingmadhowie> yoo: i thought somebody had written a python application to preview, download and install themes. try looking in synaptic for it
[04:02] <yoo> so which ones are fancy
[04:02] <sistom> when it is checking to see if a cd is bad or not should the progress bar be moving?
[04:02] <gnomefreak> howlingmadhowie: gnome-art
[04:02] <sistom> or staying black
[04:02] <gunspoja> yoo, what do you mean by "fancy"?
[04:03] <bulmer> phenom: correct
[04:03] <bluestreak_> Nah. Actually this is known problem with D620
[04:03] <pramur> how do I create a ripper CD from dvd's ISO with acidrip?
[04:03] <yoo> can i post a url link here so u get an idea what i am after!
[04:03] <howlingmadhowie> gnomefreak: thank-you :) it was horribly unstable when i first tried it about 6 months ago
[04:03] <V4mp> how would i fill out the interfaces to set it up for static ip's as its auto wlan0 at present, iface wlan0 inet dhcp ?
[04:03] <bluestreak_> I am wondering if some one knows answer over here
[04:03] <gunspoja> yoo, yeah of course
[04:03] <bulmer> V4mp: did you ever look at any tutorials on how to set these?
[04:04] <bbryant> Hey, I'm having trouble torrenting from a newly installed 7.04 system
[04:04] <gnomefreak> howlingmadhowie: most likely still is it crashes here on certain themes wallpapers i try to grab others dont crash, since noone has looked at it its on my to do list for this week
[04:04] <V4mp> im trying to find some with no luck as i dnt have x working atm it needs fixing
[04:04] <bbryant> there's no entries in iptables -L, and I haven't installed any firewalls
[04:04] <bbryant> other machines work fine with the same torrent file
[04:04] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: i dunno. however scanning a cd shouldn't take more than 5 minutes with a modern drive
[04:04] <sistom> hrnmm
[04:05] <sistom> it is still sitting there....
[04:05] <gunspoja> bbryant, torrents can be temperamental little devils ;)
[04:05] <Uknown> How do I enstall the OpenGL extension for GTK?
[04:05] <howlingmadhowie> gnomefreak: then good luck :)
[04:05] <Uknown> How do I install the OpenGL extension for GTK?
[04:05] <achilles> gunspoja: Mp3 is playing with xmms

[04:05] <yoo> gunspoja,  http://linuxfud.files.wordpress.com/2006/11/screenshot1-2006-11-26.png
[04:05] <pramur> If there is a file named libpurple.so.0. how could I know that there is an application need that file? And how could I know what application is?
[04:05] <larson9999> textra
[04:05] <sistom> ok restarting the ocmputer
[04:05] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: can you tell me your exact make and model of laptop?
[04:06] <sistom> yea
[04:06] <sistom> umm
[04:06] <wastrel> pramur: libpurple is for pidgin iirc
[04:06] <sistom> one sec
[04:06] <bbryant> gunspoja, yea, it just works fine on another system on the network
[04:06] <cowbud> indeed it is
[04:06] <gunspoja> yoo, this is running gdesklets or something
[04:06] <bbryant> so i'm a bit confused
[04:06] <bbryant> i scp'd the same file over to the other computer
[04:06] <gunspoja> yoo, which aspect of this do you consider "fancy"?
[04:07] <gunspoja> yeah this is definitely gdesklets
[04:07] <gunspoja> he has a custom icon pack installed, and for some stupid reason, has made the window decorations look like vista's :/
[04:07] <yoo> gunspoja, clock, side computer info, memory and CPU usage task bar, attractive icons, in other words everything!
[04:07] <InSaNiTyIG> anyone know how can i fix the problem with not recognizing files during uninstaller for wine?
[04:07] <HealthyElijah> When is Compiz Fusion going to be included in Ubuntu?
[04:07] <gunspoja> yoo, that's not a theme, that's gdesklets
[04:08] <heguru> HealthyElijah: i believe its included in Gutsy
[04:08] <nintendopower454> ubuntu is not recginizing my thumb drives anyone know anything about that?
[04:08] <HealthyElijah> Guru: Thanks
[04:08] <gunspoja> nintendopower454, do the usb ports work?
[04:08] <wo0f> does anyone here have a raid0 array?
[04:08] <sistom> Gateway MA7
[04:08] <yoo> gunspoja, so what do i need to do to get these gdesklets
[04:08] <vocx> HealthyElijah, but remember that that doesn't mean it will work perfectly with your system.
[04:08] <HealthyElijah> How do I chat @ someone?
[04:08] <bluestreak_> so..
[04:08] <sistom> it boots fine from the cd and lets me run ubuntu from the cd just find
[04:08] <sistom> fine
[04:08] <sistom> but when I install it it just craps out on me
[04:08] <bluestreak_> still CD problem
[04:08] <yoo> gunspoja, can i change linux bar with these gdesklets
[04:08] <nintendopower454> yes im using a usb mouse right now
[04:08] <bluestreak_> ;-(
[04:09] <cowbud> HealthyElijah: /msg username BLAH
[04:09] <HealthyElijah> Vocx: I thought if it was included in a stable release it should work, no?
[04:09] <heguru> HealthyElijah: you have to register you nick first
[04:09] <heguru> !register
[04:09] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[04:09] <gunspoja> yoo, he hasn't changed the gnome bar at all
[04:09] <HealthyElijah> Cowbud: I mean in the main chat
[04:09] <gunspoja> yoo, you can change that bar right now
[04:09] <sistom> you saw the model type I posted howlingmadhowie?
[04:09] <enigma639> yawn~
[04:09] <yoo> gunspoja, how?
[04:09] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: that's strange. but it sounds like it should be something simple
[04:09] <cowbud> how do you chat at someone in the main chat?
[04:09] <Fluffy-Wuffy> i cant get ipblock to run can anyone help me?
[04:10] <gunspoja> yoo, to get gdesklets you just install gdesklets...
[04:10] <HealthyElijah> yes
[04:10] <vocx> HealthyElijah, it may work, it may not crash as often. But remember that ultimately video card manufacturers have some responsibility in releasing good drivers.
[04:10] <sistom> ok howlingmadhowie, I just restarted and tried the cd check again
[04:10] <HealthyElijah> Cowbud: Like this
[04:10] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: yeah. i googled for gateway ma7 and linux and there was nothing in particular
[04:10] <gunspoja> yoo, you can do lots of things with the GNOME bars
[04:10] <cowbud> HealthyElijah: you are doing it right now
[04:10] <sistom> at first the bar was orange and then slowly turned black and now is just staying black
[04:10] <HealthyElijah> I did it manually
[04:10] <gunspoja> yoo, you can add things to them and remove things from them, move the bars around, change color etc
[04:10] <cowbud> HealthyElijah: what client are you using?
[04:11] <HealthyElijah> There is an easy way to do it by doing the first few characters in some programs
[04:11] <dave4272> HOW DO I INSTALL realplayer?
[04:11] <HealthyElijah> Gaim
[04:11] <V4mp> bulmer: is it possible i could pm u ?
[04:11] <yoo> gunspoja, alrite, so bascially messing with the bar would do the trick
[04:11] <dave4272> DOWNLOADED THE .BIN FILE AND NOW WHAT?
[04:11] <cowbud> HealthyElijah: then as far as I know you always have to do it manually you can try TAB but that probably wont work
[04:11] <cowbud> dave4272: shut off your caps
[04:11] <HealthyElijah> bummer, thanks
[04:11] <sistom> now it is just hanging there....
[04:11] <dave4272> sorry
[04:11] <sistom> grr
[04:11] <Dr_willis> !realplayer

[04:11] <wastrel> dave4272: don't use the .bin file, use the instructions on the wiki
[04:11] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: i've never used the cdcheck, so i can't help you there. is this the new cd or the one which came with the book?
[04:11] <wastrel> dave4272: what ubotu said ^^^
[04:11] <dave4272> could you point me to the wiki?
[04:11] <HealthyElijah> When will Ubuntu have support for read/write on NTFS
[04:12] <sistom> the one that came with the book that was perfect on the bottom
[04:12] <wo0f> HealthyElijah, it already does
[04:12] <wastrel> dave4272: look up at the RestrictedFormats link ubotu said
[04:12] <Dr_willis> HealthyElijah,  it has for about a year now
[04:12] <sistom> I just got the book tonight
[04:12] <HealthyElijah> I cannot write to my NTFS drives in Feisty
[04:12] <Dr_willis> HealthyElijah,  thats not to say that theres no risks
[04:12] <sistom> holy shit
[04:12] <sistom> wtf
[04:12] <Dr_willis> HealthyElijah,  you dident set it up then.
[04:12] <Dr_willis> !ntfs
[04:12] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[04:12] <HealthyElijah> No, I am a viorgin

[04:12] <howlingmadhowie> !ohmy | sistom
[04:12] <ubotu> sistom: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:12] <sistom> Check finished: errors found in 3628 files!
[04:12] <Dr_willis> Time to hit the wikis and user guides :)
[04:13] <gunspoja> yoo, no, to get your system looking like his then you will need to install gdesklets and a custom window decoration theme
[04:13] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: that's not a good sign
[04:13] <sistom> o_O
[04:13] <sistom> lol
[04:13] <sistom> how could a brand new cd be that corrupt?
[04:13] <gunspoja> yoo, but yeah, he has also played around with the GNOME bars
[04:13] <gunspoja> sistom, it happens
[04:13] <howlingmadhowie> that's why it's not a good sign
[04:13] <gunspoja> nothing to do with age, could have just been a problem when they burned it
[04:13] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: let's hope it's the cd
[04:13] <sistom> the download is at 77% so I'll just burn it and try a reinstall
[04:13] <sistom> what else could it be?.
[04:13] <HealthyElijah> thanks for the help so far
[04:13] <dave4272> will try the links, thanks
[04:13] <HealthyElijah> Step 1 - I need help installing Synergy
[04:14] <sistom> vista ran fine so it isn't the hard drive
[04:14] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: can you burn it at about middle speed? btw. what version of ubuntu came with the book?
[04:14] <yoo> gunspoja, i am installing gdesklets and all the neccessory programs but not sure about the custome window decoration theme
[04:14] <HealthyElijah> In Ubuntu - How do I get a list of all programs running? Like windoze task mgr
[04:14] <sistom> 7.04
[04:14] <heguru> HealthyElijah: run synaptec (system -> administration -> Synaptic) search for synergy right click mark for installation apply
[04:14] <heguru> HealthyElijah: ps -a
[04:14] <pramur> is it safe to install gaim-guifications while pidgin has already installed?
[04:14] <gunspoja> yoo, emerald has some extremely nice window decoration themes, but you would probably think of it as "kiddy stuff", if you also put beryl in that category
[04:14] <HealthyElijah> And how do I turn off peoples bloody entering and leaving? I don't care.
[04:15] <pramur> or I need to install pidgin-guifications?
[04:15] <howlingmadhowie> does anyone know if the feisty download images have been remastered since they were first placed online?
[04:15] <dave4272> thanks
[04:15] <gunspoja> I don't get how you can look down on beryl but think that vista-like window decorations are awesome :/
[04:15] <DreadKnight> HealthyElijah go to sistem/administration/systen monitor or something like that
[04:15] <vocx> !away > ajmorris|AFK
[04:15] <HealthyElijah> hegure: Is that in the alt+F2 Run application prompt?
[04:15] <DreadKnight> HealthyElijah what program are you connected with? pidgin by any chance?
[04:16] <yoo> gunspoja, i'll give it a go
[04:16] <punzada> anyone know the compizfusion setting to raise windows when in cube view? (like this http://beryl-themes.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/60408-1.jpg )
[04:16] <larson9999> eye-candy eye-smandy. i'm fine with my desktop the way it is already.  quit changing stuff on me!
[04:16] <dave4272> will try
[04:16] <HealthyElijah> I am using Ubuntu's included app Gaim
[04:16] <HealthyElijah> Ive nevr used IRC before
[04:16] <gunspoja> larson9999, its not all eyecandy, you should try using it and then say that again
[04:17] <larson9999> HealthyElijah, pidgin is the current version of gaim
[04:17] <DreadKnight> punzada: that things was "3d windows feature" haven't found it in the compizfusion settings manager so far :(
[04:17] <HealthyElijah> punzada: That was one of my same questions for this evening!!
[04:17] <sistom> well I really hope the download is good because now we have a dos error of "missing operating system"
[04:17] <sistom> lolz
[04:17] <gunspoja> larson9999, it has a LOT of extremely helpful utilities as well as just making your desktop into a cube
[04:17] <punzada> lol :)
[04:17] <wastrel> larson9999: gaim is te current version of gaim in feisty
[04:17] <larson9999> gunspoja, i tried it for 2 weeks.  i'll give it another go when it hit 1.o
[04:17] <bluestreak_> I need some help with SATA DVD drive on Ubuntu
[04:17] <DreadKnight> HealthyElijah upgrade to pidgin (getdeb.net) .. and see on the plugins, there is something so hide joined/left in chat rooms
[04:18] <yoo> gunspoja, how do i find out what programs i have installed on my system so far, not gui way. like program files in windows xp... i want to know what program and program file i have on my system atm!
[04:18] <HealthyElijah> so how do i turn off peoples entering and leaving in GAIM?
[04:18] <larson9999> wastrel, sure.
[04:18] <punzada> I'm in love with compizfusion I don't care how much of eyecandy it is. :)
[04:18] <sistom> 85%
[04:18] <Ltar> I just don't understand why my last install of ubuntu was so broken. On a fresh install of 7.04 AMD 64....  The thing booted for the first time at 1280x1024. I didn't have to jump through any hoops or crash X like I had to previously. NTFS support seems to be native. all my partitions are mounting correctly-- automatically. it's working frustratingly well. what the hell went wrong, last time?
[04:18] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: i don't want to nit-pick, but that's actually a bios error. did you configure ubuntu for a dualboot install when the install didn't work?
[04:18] <larson9999> gunspoja, what do you find is more than eyecandy?
[04:18] <gunspoja> yoo, I don't think you do.  there are LOTS of programs installed, and I don't think you will know what most of them are :P
[04:18] <gunspoja> larson9999, like for instance, inverting window colours
[04:19] <lufis> punzada: The primary selling point for Vista... for free. :)
[04:19] <achilles> gunspoja: you around
[04:19] <punzada> lufis, exactly :)
[04:19] <gunspoja> larson9999, the ability to make windows transparent
[04:19] <larson9999> gunspoja, how's that useful?
[04:19] <yoo> which directory the programs are usually installed
[04:19] <punzada> now as long as I can get wine to play TF2 I can delete my windows partition lol
[04:19] <larson9999> gunspoja, and that?
[04:19] <achilles> when i try to play a avi file with movie player in ubuntu it gives me an error you dont have decoder insatlled
[04:19] <HealthyElijah> how do I turn off peoples enetring and leaving the channel in GAIM?
[04:19] <DreadKnight> HealthyElijah upgrade to pidgin (getdeb.net) .. and see on the plugins, there is something so hide joined/left in chat rooms
[04:19] <howlingmadhowie> yoo: have a look at your $PATH variable. most of the programs are installed in /bin
[04:20] <DreadKnight> to*
[04:20] <howlingmadhowie> yoo: sorry /usr/bin
[04:20] <achilles> but gstreamer and w32codecs are installed what more an be done gunspoja ?
[04:20] <gunspoja> like for example if I'm reading a document that has black text on white background, its like staring into a lightbulb, so with a keystroke i can make it more comfortable on my eyes
[04:20] <achilles> can*
[04:20] <yoo> thx
[04:20] <yoo> 1
[04:20] <howlingmadhowie> HealthyElijah: that will be a setting for irc in general, i imagine.
[04:20] <gunspoja> larson9999, and making a window transparent is useful in many situations
[04:20] <nintendopower454> ubuntu is not regconig my jump drives does anyone know about that?
[04:20] <lufis> gunspoja: a lightbulb? You have eye problems or something?
[04:21] <achilles> you got that gunspoja
[04:21] <janelle>  ive got a ati card that im having a weird issue with, for example in nexuiz im getting about 165 fps in a room until someone else runs by then it drops to about 3 fps
[04:21] <DreadKnight> HealthyElijah check out the plugins from gaim for a Join/part hiding plugin
[04:21] <vocx> Ltar, well... that's great, it works now!
[04:21] <HealthyElijah> Howie: DId you manually type my name in with a Colon when replying to me?
[04:21] <gunspoja> I don't mean LITERALLY like a lightbulb, but its bright and staring at the white screen hurts the eyes after a while.  its a CRT monitor, not a piece of paper
[04:21] <howlingmadhowie> HealthyElijah: I just typed heal then <tab>
[04:21] <HealthyElijah> nice howie!
[04:21] <DreadKnight> heal
[04:21] <HealthyElijah> howlingmadhowie: awesome
[04:22] <lufis> gunspoja: oh :P
[04:22] <HealthyElijah> howlingmadhowie: I knew there was a way!!
[04:22] <HealthyElijah> howlingmadhowie: you just made this so much easier
[04:22] <howlingmadhowie> HealthyElijah: tab completion. try it in a terminal :)
[04:22] <gunspoja> and a lot of the window animations are helpful from a usability standpoint because its much more intuitive when things are animated
[04:22] <HealthyElijah> howlingmadhowie: still trying to figure out what the terminal is
[04:22] <HealthyElijah> howlingmadhowie: it is always transparent and bugging me
[04:23] <howlingmadhowie> HealthyElijah: alt-F2 and enter "gnome-terminal"
[04:23] <gunspoja> rather than windows just instantly disappearing when you minimize them, for instance
[04:23] <vocx> !tab | HealthyElijah
[04:23] <ubotu> HealthyElijah: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[04:23] <vocx> !terminal | HealthyElijah
[04:23] <ubotu> HealthyElijah: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[04:23] <HealthyElijah> DreadKnight: Is the plugin something I have to go find and install?
[04:23] <sistom> howlingmadhowie, oh I know the missing operating system isn't an ubuntu related problem
[04:23] <gunspoja> larson999, lol you weren't here in the first place
[04:23] <HealthyElijah> ubotu: Thanks
[04:23] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[04:23] <HealthyElijah> ubotu is a bot?
[04:23] <sistom> I was just saying that it rm'd my vista partition and faulted during it's installation so nothing is on the HD
[04:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[04:24] <HealthyElijah> DreadKnight: where would i find that?
[04:24] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: it's possible ubuntu wiped the windows boot loader during installation. but if installation of ubuntu works, you'll get grub as a boot loader :)

[04:25] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: under ubuntu, you can burn a cd image by right clicking the file and selecting burn to cd
[04:25] <sistom> I am downloading ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso
[04:25] <gunspoja> DreadKnight, no its not
[04:26] <DreadKnight> pff
[04:26] <sistom> I am on vista rightnow
[04:26] <sistom> this is my desktop computer
[04:26] <kahrytan> YBH_1, yse !info packagename
[04:26] <punzada> i'm surpsied they haven't added pidgin yet
[04:26] <nintendopower454> i can open up the game it will play the valvle logo then go to the menu and just say loading and not do anything
[04:26] <sistom> I am installing it on my laptop
[04:26] <gunspoja> DreadKnight, it will be in the next release though
[04:26] <HealthyElijah> I am on Ubuntu for about 4-5 days now
[04:26] <darkangel> how do i install wine it confusis mew
[04:26] <darkangel> opps me
[04:26] <HealthyElijah> Love the paint fire on screen in Compiz Fusion
[04:26] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: getting vista to write an iso to create a bootable cd is, if i recall correctly, a herculean task.
[04:26] <gunspoja> darkangel, sudo apt-get install wine
[04:26] <sistom> nah
[04:26] <pramur> I have installed pidgin 2.2.0 from getdeb.net. And I want to install the guifications. Should I just copy the "gaim-guifications" folder or I need to install pidgin-guifications?
[04:26] <gunspoja> HealthyElijah, that is one of the less-useful features :P
[04:26] <sistom> I got nero
[04:26] <sistom> it should be fine
[04:26] <sistom> if not I have mac osX as well
[04:26] <DreadKnight> ginspoja i have gutsy right now... but it's annoying you have to get an unstable distro to have your daily used applications upgraded...
[04:27] <HealthyElijah> gunspoja: I know but it is neccessary to convert everyone, right?
[04:27] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: okay :) but i won't be able to help you there, because i've never used nero or osx
[04:27] <gunspoja> DreadKnight, you could always just install it yourself...
[04:27] <DreadKnight> pramur: don't do that...
[04:27] <Dragon64> you dont need wine for a sound card
[04:27] <HealthyElijah> 2The 2 people I showed it to along with the cuvbbe etc, pooh'ed there pants!
[04:27] <darkangel> thanks
[04:27] <gunspoja> HealthyElijah, i suppose
[04:27] <pramur> DreadKnight: Why?
[04:27] <pramur> DreadKnight: don't do what? copy or install?
[04:27] <HealthyElijah> Linux needs popularity
[04:27] <kahrytan> HealthyElijah, did you switch from windows?
[04:27] <HealthyElijah> And paint fire on screen can help!
[04:27] <darkangel> how do i make ubuntu pick up my audio drive
[04:28] <DreadKnight> gunspoja... it kinda takes away the whole ubuntu surprise... and it even broke my package by doing that... :|
[04:28] <vocx> DreadKnight, that is Ubuntu philosophy. To keep frozen packages in each release. When the new release appears, you may activate the backports for the previous release.
[04:28] <bluestreak_> Hi Guys, can any one please help me with my DVD Drive problem on D620
[04:28] <Dragon64> darkangel do you know what type card you have?
[04:28] <HealthyElijah> kahrytan: yes after watching compiz fuson ubuntu videos on youtube over th past few weeks
[04:28] <gunspoja> umm...if you are using ubuntu for the "ubuntu surprise", i propose that you try the "microsoft surprise" instead; its much more surprising
[04:28] <bluestreak_> I can read DVDs but not CDs
[04:28] <vamp898> how does Totem plays DVDs with Men?
[04:28] <kahrytan> HealthyElijah, dont try playing opengl during compiz use
[04:28] <kahrytan> opengl games that is
[04:29] <punzada> yeah
[04:29] <HealthyElijah> kahrytan: what does that mean more specifically?
[04:29] <punzada> opengl goes a little nuts from time to time with it
[04:29] <gunspoja> DreadKnight, if you would rather download a new distro rather than just update a package then I think you should re-think your strategy
[04:29] <darkangel> ess sumtin i no longer have windows i cant check exactly
[04:29] <kahrytan> HealthyElijah, cuz It'll effect performance of the game
[04:29] <HealthyElijah> I have had compiz and the cube functionality turn off a few times
[04:29] <punzada> i've crashed x more then a handful of times with opengl apps and compizfusion
[04:29] <HealthyElijah> had to do a restart
[04:29] <HealthyElijah> with alt+f2
[04:29] <Dragon64> Ubuntu, has some help files on sound in it's documentation
[04:29] <punzada> but I just do metacity --replace, do what i need to do and then reload compiz
[04:29] <kahrytan> HealthyElijah, every cone ctrl-alt-f1?
[04:29] <vocx> DreadKnight, as gunspoja says.
[04:29] <gunspoja> yeah, compiz/beryl/etc doesn't play nice with other 3d-accelerated apps
[04:29] <kahrytan> done*
[04:30] <DreadKnight> :D
[04:30] <Dragon64> I had trouble with a cs4236 card
[04:30] <vamp898> why does Totem dont play DVDs with Menues
[04:30] <howlingmadhowie> HealthyElijah: if you haven't press, ctrl-alt-f7 right after pressing ctrl-alt-f1
[04:30] <davey_> can someone help me with grub
[04:30] <punzada> I loathe totem, vlc for ever :)
[04:30] <kahrytan> vamp898, use Videolan?
[04:30] <darkangel> i had a funny error whin trying to fix my system earier i pressed ctrl+d to reboot and it said cannot reboot will reboot in 5 seconds
[04:30] <davey_> I need to delete my linux partition
[04:30] <vamp898> how to start vlc with insert a DVD
[04:31] <punzada> vlc for video, xmms for music
[04:31] <darkangel> partition magic 8.0 google it
[04:31] <punzada> lol
[04:31] <Dragon64> I wrote a text about what I did in the forum
[04:31] <howlingmadhowie> vamp898: i think the totem that ships with ubuntu uses the gstreamer back end. gstreamer has for some strange reason aways had trouble with menus on dvds.
[04:31] <kahrytan> howlingmadhowie, he probably press the keys.
[04:31] <gunspoja> davey_, use livecd + gparted
[04:31] <davey_> ok but I want to know if I just change that partition will windows stil boot up
[04:31] <nintendopower454> does wine support directx? if it does would setting it up that way help
[04:32] <davey_> like where is the boot partition
[04:32] <howlingmadhowie> kahrytan: that was quite cruel of you...
[04:32] <kahrytan> howlingmadhowie, I wanted to warn him
[04:32] <InSaNiTyIG> can anyone help me with trying to uninstall AIM thru uninstaller for wine?
[04:32] <davey_> I just want to run windows now because my hardware is not compadible with linux
[04:32] <darkangel> with partition magic yes make sure to set ur win partition nactive
[04:32] <nintendopower454> any hardware is compatile with linux
[04:32] <kahrytan> howlingmadhowie, I did it by accident and couldnt get out of it
[04:32] <DreadKnight> nintendopower454: there is wine-doors in development which will support directx...
[04:32] <Dragon64> darkangel go here if you don't mind reading some https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound
[04:32] <lufis> davey_: How are you sure it isn't compatible?
[04:32] <gunspoja> nintendopower454, that's not necessarily true
[04:33] <howlingmadhowie> davey_: if you just delete linux, windows won't boot. you will need to reinstall the windows boot manager (or similar)
[04:33] <Fluffy-Wuffy> i cannot get Ipblock to run, im on Ubuntu 7.04 and when i try to open it via the applications menu or desktop it asks for my password then makes space on the applications trays then closes immediately, can anyone help?
[04:33] <davey_> howling mad, thats what I thought
[04:33] <davey_> ok so how can i do that?
[04:33] <kahrytan> Fluffy-Wuffy, don't need to run the gui app.
[04:33] <gunspoja> nintendopower454, although it depends on what you mean by "compatible".  lots of hardware is currently NOT compatible, but of course its always possible to make it work
[04:33] <HealthyElijah> hahahahah - WHo told me to hit ctrl+alt+F1??
[04:33] <lufis> davey_: Some hardware doesn't work right out of the box. Doesn't mean it isn't compatible
[04:33] <tsukasa> anyone want to play a game of frozen-bubble?
[04:33] <howlingmadhowie> davey_: i haven't got the foggiest idea. but there must be a howto somewhere
[04:34] <gunspoja> HealthyElijah, that was howlingmadhowie
[04:34] <HealthyElijah> Just scroll up and see, Who was it?
[04:34] <nintendopower454> the thing i dont get is why hl2 wont work but counter strike works perfectly
[04:34] <Fluffy-Wuffy> what do you mean i dont need to run the GUI app kahrytan?
[04:34] <davey_> lufis, trust me it is, i've had experence with linux in the past i'm not some new be
[04:34] <darkangel> thanks dragon will try after my update is done (1st tim install this morn)
[04:34] <DreadKnight> tsukasa me me :D
[04:34] <kahrytan> HealthyElijah, I was going to warn you about it.
[04:34] <HealthyElijah> howlingmadhowie: Why did you do that?
[04:34] <nintendopower454> what i mean is you can get any hardware to work
[04:34] <davey_> and I've been on this channel before and there answer was "buy a diffrent pc"
[04:34] <DreadKnight> "sudo apt-get install frozen-bubble"
[04:34] <lufis> davey_: humor me, then. What hardware?
[04:34] <punzada> lol
[04:34] <gunspoja> nintendopower454, thats not what "compatible" means
[04:34] <kahrytan> HealthyElijah, I did it by accident and wanted to tell you to use ctrl-alt-f7
[04:34] <howlingmadhowie> gunspoja: i didn't! i told him to type ctrl-alt-f7 to get back after kahrytan had told him to type ctrl-alt-f1 without warning him
[04:34] <punzada> lufis, any ATI hardware :D
[04:34] <HealthyElijah> kahrytan: Going to? Why didn't you?
[04:34] <gunspoja> oh ok
[04:34] <kahrytan> HealthyElijah, you didnt ask?
[04:34] <davey_> ok, the rt61 ralink wireless dirver in the 64 bit environment
[04:35] <gunspoja> oh, he didn't know about pressing f7 after f1
[04:35] <HealthyElijah> So it wasn't howie
[04:35] <howlingmadhowie> kahrytan: that's not the best excuse.
[04:35] <HealthyElijah> Well, I guess no harm done
[04:35] <davey_> 64bit ndis rapper and native linux packages both crash sytem even after recompiling kernel
[04:35] <HealthyElijah> but still a PITA
[04:35] <HealthyElijah> Still A PITA
[04:35] <kahrytan> HealthyElijah, Sorry.
[04:35] <gunspoja> HealthyElijah, that was kahrytan, but that person isn't here anymore
[04:35] <davey_> and the only version is still in alfa releace
[04:35] <gunspoja> oh, yes he is :/
[04:35] <gunspoja> lol
[04:35] <HealthyElijah> What is ctrl alt f
[04:36] <gunspoja> davey_, do don't use 64bit
[04:36] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: how's the cd coming along?
[04:36] <kahrytan> HealthyElijah, Ctrl-ALT F1 throgh F6.
[04:36] <davey_> 32bit is the only stable version, so what I should switch to all 32 bit, why would I do that when I could use 32 bit windows wich kicks ass
[04:36] <kahrytan> HealthyElijah, they are all tty console
[04:36] <guru> hello everyone. i'm currently a debian user and after 4 years of packages being broken or barely maintained i decided to give ubuntu a shot. will the latest livecd be able to detect my tv tuner card and allow me to use it so i can test how well it works and also are packages updated often?
[04:36] <HealthyElijah> so what is the diff between console and terminal
[04:36] <gunspoja> davey_, there is 64bit windows as well, so why use linux at all?
[04:36] <davey_> it doesn't make sence ubuntu has no advantages over windows if your just running 32 bit, besies it' boots slower
[04:36] <punzada> guru do you use a happauge tv card?
[04:36] <gunspoja> davey_, it could be because linux is BETTER?
[04:36] <HealthyElijah> and what is key short for terminal
[04:36] <nintendopower454> im running 64 and havent had any problems other than getting flash to work
[04:36] <howlingmadhowie> guru: depends what tv tuner card you have, i imagine. i think the kernel is compiled with the kitchen sink, however
[04:36] <kahrytan> HealthyElijah, If desktop locks up, goto console and reboot or kill the app locking it up?
[04:37] <wastrel> guru: there's a 6 month release cycle.  but some packages are backported within the release cycle so you can get newer versions of some stuff
[04:37] <dave4272> Anyone know how to view Quicktime trailers in Firefox?
[04:37] <Dragon64> no problem chief
[04:37] <davey_> nintendow power, just run a 32 bit browser on it
[04:37] <gunspoja> davey_, either you are misinformed or you are a troll...which one is it?
[04:37] <vocx> guru, packages are updated with a new release. A new Ubuntu appears every six months.
[04:37] <guru> punzada: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)
[04:37] <wastrel> guru: i am a former debian user too. :] 
[04:37] <HealthyElijah> by ctrl alt f1?
[04:37] <gunspoja> davey_, gnu/linux OS family has MANY advantages over windows
[04:37] <guru> wastrel: ahh, so you know my frustrations all too well then :)
[04:37] <davey_> I run linux servers, don't tell me I don't know things come on now
[04:37] <DreadKnight> HealthyElijah ctrl + "grave", the one left to "1", kde users have Konsole.. console/terminal - same thing if you ask me
[04:37] <achilles> brb
[04:37] <Dragon64> I've just been using Ubuntu about a month myself, but I love it
[04:37] <kahrytan> HealthyElijah, just login as normal in tty. you get access to everything you would in terminal
[04:37] <HealthyElijah> ctrl grave is not working in ubuntu
[04:37] <davey_> linux does do some things well, it just can't do what I need on this machine
[04:38] <gunspoja> davey_, so you are well informed...you must be a troll then
[04:38] <bluestreak_> really looking for some help with DVD Drive in Dell d620
[04:38] <HealthyElijah> tty?
[04:38] <bluestreak_> can any one please help me with htat
[04:38] <DreadKnight> HealthyElijah it will work on gutsy then.. like it does to me :P
[04:38] <Shizuo> Omg
[04:38] <Shizuo> What a flamefest
[04:38] <lufis> bluestreak_: What's the issue?
[04:38] <HealthyElijah> Im on Feisty
[04:38] <davey_> not really a trole, just want to know the easy way to change my boot partition with out messing things up
[04:38] <kahrytan> guru,  you got a cheap tv tuner
[04:38] <punzada> I like the happauge tv cards personally
[04:38] <punzada> and they have nix support :)
[04:38] <kahrytan> guru, you should get pvr-150
[04:38] <guru> will i be able to install ubuntu over my current partitions without re-partitioning? i want to keep everything intact so i can just "dive in" so to speak
[04:38] <HealthyElijah> Ok, back i\to my main Question?
[04:38] <Fluffy-Wuffy> kahrytan what do you mean i dont need to run the GUI?
[04:38] <davey_> I'll help with some linux problems 2, it's not a big deal I just need some help wit this because I do have some sensitive data and I don't just want to guess and check
[04:39] <kahrytan> punzada, Not all. HVR-1600 isnt supported
[04:39] <bluestreak_> lufis: SATA DVD was not getting detected
[04:39] <HealthyElijah> Who here knows what SYNERGY is?
[04:39] <guru> kahrytan: it was the only model they had that i saw would work with linux
[04:39] <gunspoja> guru, you can try it out from the livecd without installing anything
[04:39] <kahrytan> Fluffy-Wuffy, use ipblock --help in terminal
[04:39] <sean_^> hi, does anyone dual boot with vista?
[04:39] <bluestreak_> I recompiled the kernel and now I can see it
[04:39] <punzada> hmm i dont even know that card o.O
[04:39] <punzada> lol
[04:39] <bluestreak_> but i can not read CDs now
[04:39] <gunspoja> sean_^, i tried to, once
[04:39] <guru> gunspoja: i know, that's what i intend to do for now
[04:39] <davey_> quicktime can be ran with the vlc plug in for mozilla
[04:39] <Marsmensch> sorry for ot? where to find an us led shop? anyone knows?
[04:39] <howlingmadhowie> davey_: just search any old microsoft help page for installing the windows boot manager
[04:39] <sean_^> gunspoja: did it work?
[04:39] <gunspoja> sean_^, depends on what you mean by "work"
[04:39] <sean_^> gunspoja: could you boot both os's
[04:39] <guru> ubuntu is (or at least was) based on debian, correct?
[04:39] <gunspoja> sean_^, yes. but vista is rubbish, so don't use it
[04:39] <kahrytan> guru, guru http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Main_Page
[04:39] <howlingmadhowie> guru: it still is, as far as i know
[04:40] <davey_> howling mad, I don't have any disks though :   (
[04:40] <davey_> the system came with windows on it
[04:40] <wastrel> guru: they take a snapshot of sid for each release and then work on it for 6 months.
[04:40] <wastrel> at least that's my understanding :] 
[04:40] <gunspoja> sean_^, dual-boot with xp if you must have windows, unless you absolutely need vista specifically
[04:40] <Fluffy-Wuffy> it says "error: you must be root to use ipblock" kahrytan
[04:40] <sean_^> gunspoja: I don't have xp
[04:40] <guru> what about package management? can i still use apt from a terminal as i do in debian?
[04:40] <howlingmadhowie> davey_: no disks ?!?
[04:40] <kahrytan> Fluffy-Wuffy, use sudo
[04:40] <Fluffy-Wuffy> i tried using sudo it doesnt do anything
[04:40] <gunspoja> sean_^, take vista back and buy xp :P
[04:40] <vocx> guru, I would say that if you know Debian you are already an Ubuntu expert.    I also have a Philips card like you.
[04:40] <wastrel> guru: it's all the same as debian.  just different repos.
[04:40] <sean_^> gunspoja: I didn't buy anything
[04:40] <Fluffy-Wuffy> "sudo ipblock" just asks for my password then does nothing
[04:40] <gunspoja> oh ok
[04:40] <guru> ahh i see
[04:41] <gunspoja> sean_^, well then, how are you going to install vista if you don't have it?
[04:41] <davey_> nope, and the company went out of busness after they made this
[04:41] <nintendopower454> i think you can use the anytime upgrade disk to reinstall vista
[04:41] <sean_^> gunspoja: I have to use linux at work, but I'm not supposed to delete vista
[04:41] <guru> wastrel: also don't forget the helpful attitude of the ubuntu community :)
[04:41] <wastrel> absolutely
[04:41] <sean_^> gunspoja: it is pre-installed
[04:41] <bluestreak_> Lufis are you there?
[04:41] <gunspoja> "humanity to others" :)
[04:41] <HealthyElijah> I am a super NOOB with Ubunto/Linux/GNU whatever you call it and this helped me undertsand better, we all liek pictures right!! --> http://kde-files.org/CONTENT/content-files/44218-linuxdistrotimeline-7.2.png
[04:41] <guru> thanks for the information and tips everyone :)
[04:41] <Dragon64> make bill more money and power............ he needs it
[04:41] <gunspoja> sean_^, oh ok, that sucks.  you should be able to dual-boot anyway
[04:41] <howlingmadhowie> davey_: then just go to microsoft.com and download the newest vista. wait a minute...
[04:42] <lufis> bluestreak_: Yeah, I dunno. I was just asking for more details
[04:42] <vamp898> is there something like superkaramba for Gnome?
[04:42] <gunspoja> howlingmadhowie, lol
[04:42] <guru> vocx: do you have the same model as me?
[04:42] <davey_> my software isn't compadible with vista unfortunatly
[04:42] <bluestreak_> oh okay.
[04:42] <bluestreak_> here are my last dmesg
[04:42] <vocx> guru, is by any chance ENLTV-FM from Encore?
[04:42] <bluestreak_> end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0
[04:42] <sean_^> gunspoja: yes, well it sucks less than using vista
[04:42] <Fluffy-Wuffy> what do i type in terminal for ipblock to work with sudo kahrytan? "sudo ipblock" does nothing
[04:42] <guru> vocx: i'm not sure
[04:42] <bluestreak_> but the issue is that this CD works well when I boot into fedora
[04:43] <gunspoja> so is there anyone around yet who knows how to add servers to the ubuntu dictionary tool?
[04:43] <bluestreak_> it has to do something with SATA driver
[04:43] <howlingmadhowie> davey_: i'm sure you can google for <any old boot loader>, save the file to a usbkey and reboot your computer
[04:43] <davey_> howling mad, usb? but I need it on the primary harddrive
[04:43] <guru> vocx: if i paste the output of lspci -v to rafb.net would you take a look at it and see if it is the same as your card?
[04:43] <TUXedomember> is there a list of cheat code's for ubuntu?
[04:43] <vamp898> [04:42]  <vamp898> is there something like superkaramba for Gnome?
[04:43] <TUXedomember> yes
[04:43] <sn0> gdesklets maybe vamp898
[04:44] <TUXedomember> gdesklet's
[04:44] <howlingmadhowie> davey_: then the computer boots from usb and the install program kicks in and installs a new boot loader in the mbr
[04:44] <guru> vocx: http://rafb.net/p/4BJujk30.html if you wouldn't mind :)
[04:44] <howlingmadhowie> davey_: at least i assume it works like that. it's the way i'd program it to work
[04:44] <davey_> would it be possible to tweek grub and keep all that the same and just get rid of the ext2 partition? or is grub in that partition?
[04:45] <ki4cgp> My login works when logging onto my desktop, but doesn't work on my screensaver.   Any ideas what might cause this?
[04:45] <Dr_willis> grub gets its data files and stuff from somewhere.
[04:45] <TUXedomember> is there a list of ubuntu cheat codes
[04:45] <howlingmadhowie> davey_: i doubt you have an ext2 partition. it's probably an ext3. grub is in that partition
[04:45] <sistom> ok howlingmadhowie I am buring the iso to dvd
[04:45] <Dr_willis> TUXedomember,  you mean grub boot option/codes?
[04:45] <gunspoja> TUXedomember, yes there is
[04:45] <sistom> let's hope this works
[04:45] <vocx> guru, try "dmesg | grep saa"
[04:45] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: my fingers are crossed too :)
[04:46] <TUXedomember> no like sorry not cheat code's but cmd's for the terminal?
[04:46] <gunspoja> TUXedomember, the sysrq key combos
[04:46] <gunspoja> and yes there are also quite a few cmds for the terminal :P
[04:46] <Dragon64> kde programs should work on Gnome
[04:46] <guru> saa7130[0] : Huh, no eeprom present (err=-5)? saa7130[0] : registered device video0 [v4l2]  saa7130[0] : registered device vbi0
[04:46] <wastrel> !cli | TUXedomember
[04:46] <gunspoja> Dragon64, yeah they do
[04:46] <ubotu> TUXedomember: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[04:46] <guru> vocx: shouldn't that card support dvb?
[04:46] <howlingmadhowie> Dr_willis: more than that, the grub executable is mostly in the boot partition too
[04:46] <bluestreak_> I have already tried this -> http://javier.rodriguez.org.mx/index.php/2006/09/21/%CE%BChowto-enable-the-sata-cd-rom-drive-in-the-dell-latitude-d620/
[04:46] <bluestreak_> it gave access to DVD
[04:47] <TUXedomember> i know how to use it i just want a list of cmd's for it
[04:47] <bluestreak_> but now CD does nto work in save drive
[04:47] <emf> Hi. Is there a ghannel to ask gutsy questions, or is here a good place?
[04:47] <howlingmadhowie> !gutsy | emf
[04:47] <ubotu> emf: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[04:47] <Pici> emf: #ubuntu+1
[04:48] <overlord> Anyone online?
[04:48] <overlord> i need a lil help..
[04:48] <emf> Pici: Thanks!
[04:48] <sistom> howlingmadhowie: why would I be able to boat form the Live cd but it wouldn't install from the same cd?
[04:48] <vocx> guru, to be honest the chipset saa7130 is the same but our cards are different. Mine is not really powerful, but I guess yours would work fine. I also have issues with my video card so I can only watch TV with "xawtv". So I say, install Ubuntu confidently. And check the forums, all your questions have been answered.
[04:48] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: there's a lot more stuff on the cd than you see when using it as a live cd
[04:49] <overlord> I'm unable to boot the ubuntu LiveCD. Seems like its due to my grafic card. I have nVidia 8800 GTS.
[04:49] <TUXedomember> where can i find a list of the terminal cmd's?
[04:49] <cec> Hi I've just downloaded and compiled network-manager.gnome but after typing make I get this error message:No targets specified and no makefile found, but ls shows two files:makefile.am  and makefile.in. what am I doing wrong?
[04:49] <Samuel_> hey guys, i have this issue. i want to install ubuntu, but when i start the live cd, in (Install or Start Ubuntu) at the screen, it loads for a minute or so and then, the loading bar stops, it wont install, any help?
[04:49] <Fluffy-Wuffy> what do i type in terminal for ipblock to work with sudo kahrytan? "sudo ipblock" does nothing
[04:49] <Dragon64> I thought so, but I was telling vamp 898 because of what they ask
[04:49] <gunspoja> how to add servers to the ubuntu dictionary tool? i add the server properly but it gives me errors when I try to use it
[04:49] <verb3k> !alternate
[04:49] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[04:49] <verb3k> !alternate | Samuel_
[04:49] <ubotu> Samuel_: please see above
[04:50] <Dragon64> I just forgot to type the nick, sorry
[04:50] <bluestreak_> where are tring to install
[04:50] <bluestreak_> on Laptop or on Desktop?
[04:50] <guru> vocx: great. thanks again for your help
[04:50] <Madpilot> samiam, a few items down from the Start/Install option is "Test this CD" - have you tried that yet?
[04:50] <TUXedomember> where can i find a list of terminal cmd's?

[04:50] <bluestreak_> TUXedomember, what do you want o do
[04:50] <overlord>  I'm unable to boot the ubuntu LiveCD(Fiesta Fawn). Seems like its due to my grafic card. I have nVidia 8800 GTS.
[04:50] <howlingmadhowie> TUXedomember: that would be a long list :)
[04:50] <HealthyElijah> How od we get raised windows with the cube in Ubunto Compiz Fusion?
[04:50] <opgog> Hi, can someone tell me how I can unmount my usb webcam, I also do not know where or what directory it may be part of so I need rather good explanations. Thanks
[04:51] <Samuel> so, alternate dcs are better?
[04:51] <verb3k> Samuel, the alternate CD is a text mode CD...you should install with no problems
[04:51] <overlord> i tried it
[04:51] <Samuel> oh, ok
[04:51] <Ashfire928> i need help with screen. i acdently used suspend twice and i don't know how to access the other two screens
[04:51] <vocx> guru, http://rafb.net/p/yHtbAq63.html mine is not LifeView but that is the way it appears in the kernel.
[04:51] <overlord> it installs ubuntu but x doesnt load
[04:51] <wastrel> TUXedomember: ls /bin /usr/bin > commands-list.txt
[04:51] <bluestreak_> overlord, which kind of machine are you truing to ijnstall
[04:51] <trix> anyone know why when i install nvidia drivers, i get a black screen when loading gdm? i installed with envy =x
[04:51] <howlingmadhowie> overlord: you've managed to install ubuntu?
[04:51] <overlord> desktop
[04:51] <TUXedomember> thank you
[04:51] <verb3k> Samuel, not really better ...but they may allow you to install in case you have a problem with booting or installing from the LiveCD
[04:51] <davey_> ashfire926, that is a great question, where do the screens go?
[04:51] <deus> what packages lies the nvidia modules in again?
[04:51] <davey_> does anyone know?
[04:51] <bluestreak_> is this SATA drive?
[04:52] <overlord> yes
[04:52] <wastrel> TUXedomember: also man builtins
[04:52] <bluestreak_> and is your CDROM also SATA
[04:52] <guru> vocx: ok, i'k going to boot from the livecd. i should be back in about 30 minutes (if all goes well i'll just install ubuntu first). i'll let you know how everything went and maybe i can post my configuration somewhere in case someone else has the same card i do
[04:52] <opgog> Hi, can someone tell me how I can unmount my usb webcam, I also do not know where or what directory it may be part of so I need rather good explanations. Thanks
[04:52] <heguru> Ashfire928: screen -r pid
[04:52] <heguru> Ashfire928: will resume the appropriate screen
[04:52] <overlord> nope
[04:52] <TUXedomember> man bulitin's?
[04:52] <heguru> Ashfire928: find the pid using ps -a
[04:52] <Ashfire928> heguru: ok
[04:52] <Samuel> ok, i'l,l try the alternate, does it matter that my compu is somewhat old?
[04:53] <overlord> bluestreak: no
[04:53] <Samuel> i tried with xubuntu, but both had the same error
[04:53] <bluestreak_> okay.. then try getting into another terminal CTRL + ALT + F1 or F2 and see if you have some error
[04:53] <darkangel> im all clean  (just got out of the shower) dangit update still working (almost done)
[04:53] <Ashfire928> heguru: thanks
[04:53] <heguru> opgog: is your camera mounted?
[04:53] <wastrel> TUXedomember: man builtins   manual page for built-in commands for the cli
[04:53] <opgog> I'm trying to make my webcam work with virtualbox but can't connect with usb. Anyone got any ideas
[04:53] <wastrel> (stuff that's not in /bin and /usr/bin/ )
[04:53] <overlord> bluestreak: k..
[04:53] <opgog> Heguru yes
[04:53] <Andy50> anyone familiar with setting up oident ?
[04:53] <overlord> bluestreak: brb..
[04:54] <heguru> opgog: and you want to unmount it?
[04:54] <bluestreak_> VirtualBox opensource version does not support USB
[04:54] <opgog> yes
[04:54] <TUXedomember> where can i get to that?
[04:54] <howlingmadhowie> Samuel: that sounds like a squashfs issue. try searching ubuntuforums.org
[04:54] <heguru> opgog: right click at the camera icon on the desktop and unmount
[04:54] <opgog> I don't have an icon
[04:54] <verb3k> Samuel, what are the specs of you computer?
[04:54] <opgog> =[
[04:54] <heguru> opgog: for usb in virtuan machines use kvm fast and good
[04:54] <revx> hello want the bulit in movie player of 7.04 ubuntu?
[04:54] <matthew22> when I try to load a webpage from http://localhost/file.php, it tries to download the file instead of showing it.  I have apache2 and php5 installed.  what's going on here?
[04:54] <heguru> opgog: ok how do you know its mounted?
[04:54] <bluestreak_> revx: there are many
[04:55] <heguru> opgog: on the terminal type: mount
[04:55] <revx> hello whats the bulit in movie player of 7.04 ubuntu?
[04:55] <bluestreak_> revx: mplayer does most of the job
[04:55] <heguru> opgog: it will show you all the mounted devices
[04:55] <opgog> I used camorama
[04:55] <bluestreak_> revx: else you can try VLC
[04:55] <verb3k> matthew22, that means the apache server is not configured correctly to work with php
[04:55] <bruenig> vlc is built on mplayer libraries
[04:55] <howlingmadhowie> matthew22: some part of apache and php isn't installed. do you have the php bindings for apache installed?
[04:55] <wastrel> TUXedomember: use the    man   command on the command line...   type    man builtins
[04:55] <heguru> opgog: find the camera (probably /media/disk)
[04:55] <revx> it is with the installer already?
[04:55] <vocx> kbrooks, you there? please come to #vocx
[04:55] <matthew22> howlingmadhowie:  don't know.  what's the package called?
[04:55] <Andy50> anyone familiar with setting up oident ?
[04:55] <Samuel> verb3k, its 512 ram, pent4 1.8, 80gb ide HDD
[04:55] <opgog> Heguru okay
[04:56] <revx> is it with the installer already?
[04:56] <heguru> opgog: then type: sudo umount /media/[whatever you find in mount] 
[04:56] <opgog> thanks
[04:56] <kbrooks> vocx, in the future, please use /invite
[04:56] <Samuel> howlingmadhowie, what do u mean by squashfs ?
[04:56] <bluestreak_> revx: if you are on ubuntu, sudo apt-get vlc should do the job
[04:56] <HealthyElijah> how do i search irc for different channels?
[04:56] <heguru> HealthyElijah: what client are you using?
[04:56] <HealthyElijah> i need a channel for advanced linux users
[04:57] <d|v> when building packages with checkinstall and i use the --inspect command to edit out files i don't want how do i exit out once i'm done editing
[04:57] <verb3k> Samuel, well , the machine I am talking to you from now is Pentium3 800 hz 256MB ram 40 GB hard disk and I have no problem :)
[04:57] <Schalken> HealthyElijah: ##linux
[04:57] <bluestreak_> use /list
[04:57] <HealthyElijah> heguru: gaim
[04:57] <heguru> HealthyElijah: for pidgin tools room list
[04:57] <howlingmadhowie> matthew22: search synaptic for apache and php
[04:57] <savetheWorld> HealthyElijah: ##linux-coders, ##linux, ##kernel
[04:57] <Schalken> HealthyElijah: type "/join ##linux"
[04:57] <matthew22> howlingmadhowie:  already did that, i have apache2 and php5 installed.
[04:57] <rafaelscj> HealthyElijah, tools > channel list
[04:57] <darkangel> \i got 333mhz 200mb ram 6gm hdd it runs ok i get a new laptop 4 christmas (2gb ram 2.0ghz the works)
[04:57] <heguru> HealthyElijah: what do you want to ask about?
[04:58] <verb3k> matthew22, how did you install them? ( the method)
[04:58] <heguru> HealthyElijah: linux is huge :) better know what part you need advanced support for
[04:58] <matthew22> verb3k:  clicked on their box in synaptic.  pressed apply.
[04:58] <gunspoja> gday again everyone
[04:58] <howlingmadhowie> Samuel: i had that problem on a laptop i once used. squashfs seems to be a method of compacting data to make a cd even smaller, if i remember correctly. on this laptop i had, the live cd would always stop there for about 2 minutes before continuing as if nothing was wrong
[04:58] <gunspoja> need a bit of help writing a shell script.  does it need #!/bin/bash at the start?
[04:59] <heguru> gunspoja: its good to add it, not really needed
[04:59] <gunspoja> ok
[04:59] <andy_> Whats the command for installing .rpm packages?
[04:59] <gunspoja> when I try to run my script, i get "access denied" for some reason :/
[04:59] <howlingmadhowie> matthew22: have a look at the various libapache modules. one of them will be for php. where is the page apache is serving on your computer, btw?
[04:59] <heguru> gunspoja: it tells the interpreter what shell to use to execute the script
[04:59] <TUXedomember> where is there on the internet a list of cmd's for the terminal?
[04:59] <Samuel> verb3k, nice to hear that, but i've tried a ton of times, tried diff commands and searched the web like crazy but i cant manage to even see the desktop
[04:59] <vocx> gunspoja, Is the script executable? Where is the script?
[04:59] <gunspoja> ./loj.sh  = bash: ./loj.sh: permission denied
[05:00] <howlingmadhowie> andy_: you have to convert them into a deb by running alien first
[05:00] <bruenig> gunspoja, try bash loj.sh
[05:00] <opgog> heguru: its not there
[05:00] <opgog> haha
[05:00] <Pici> !rpm | andy_
[05:00] <ubotu> andy_: 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)
[05:00] <heguru> gunspoja: chmod a+x loj.sh
[05:00] <gunspoja> would adding #!/bin/bash remove the need for starting it with "bash"?
[05:00] <bruenig> the a is redundant
[05:00] <Samuel> verb3k ill try the alternate, thats my last resource... and i think my last try
[05:00] <bruenig> gunspoja, I only said that to see if it was executable or not
[05:00] <andy_> thx :)
[05:00] <verb3k> matthew22, I suggest you do this in the command line : sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5
[05:00] <matthew22> howlingmadhowie:  i don't know where the page is.  I put files into /var/www/  and it shows up when i go to localhost in firefox
[05:01] <howlingmadhowie> gunspoja: yes. sh will automatically call bash as a subshell (i think it works like that)
[05:01] <gunspoja> ok
[05:01] <darkangel> whens the next ubuntu
[05:01] <verb3k> Samuel, I see.... hope it works (likely)
[05:01] <howlingmadhowie> matthew22: as long as it's in /var/www :)
[05:01] <heguru> gunspoja: for it to run without bash you have make it executable (chmod a+x script) nothing to do with #!/bin/bash
[05:01] <bruenig> the a is redundant
[05:01] <vocx> darkangel, very soon! October!
[05:01] <wastrel> darkangel: october
[05:01] <gunspoja> all I'm really making is just a shortcut to a longer command: "dict -h jbovlaste.lojban.org $1" is what I'm trying to do
[05:02] <gunspoja> $1 being the argument to the script
[05:02] <gunspoja> but my syntax is probably wrong or somethin
[05:02] <gunspoja> *something
[05:02] <heguru> use alias
[05:02] <heguru> gunspoja: use alias
[05:02] <howlingmadhowie> matthew22: verb3k found it: libapache2-mod-php5 :) check that that's installed
[05:02] <wastrel> alias foo="dict -h blah blah blah"    leave off the $1
[05:02] <gunspoja> oh ok, thats good
[05:02] <gunspoja> thanks!
[05:02] <bruenig> gunspoja, do this: test ! -x loj.sh && echo "it's not executable"
[05:02] <verb3k> matthew22, when you finish installing, restart the server: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[05:02] <darkangel> im am sooooooo new to linux just started playing with it do day and i love it so much still trying to get my sound card working
[05:03] <Samuel> verb3k, by the way, is there a difference btween 6.06 and 7.04? besides the support? im talking about common-user noticeable differences
[05:03] <bluestreak_> darkangel, whats the issue?
[05:03] <wastrel> lojban eh
[05:03] <gunspoja> Samuel, 7.04 has more up-to-date stuff included with it
[05:03] <gunspoja> yeah, lojban is awesome
[05:03] <matthew22> verb3k, howlingmadhowie:  that package was already installed. i restarted the apache2 with the same effect.
[05:03] <heguru> Samuel: lots of difference, for instance 6.06 still has firefox 1.5 7.04 has got Firefox 2
[05:03] <gunspoja> mi nelci la lojban
[05:03] <howlingmadhowie> matthew22: can you paste your file.php in pastebin?
[05:03] <verb3k> Samuel, a lot :)  I don't recommend the use of 6.06 for ordinary users ( maybe for servers yes)
[05:04] <darkangel> oh i think i found it my update JUST finished and it needs a reboot and im gonna try this  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToSetupSoundCards
[05:04] <overlord> bluestreak: i've installed ubuntu 6.10...and i'm able to access the verbose mode
[05:04] <vocx> Samuel, interface and programs. It is noticeable. Install 6.06 in a virtual machine and see yourself.
[05:04] <Samuel>  thanks everyone
[05:04] <ki4cgp> My login works when logging onto my desktop, but doesn't work on my screensaver.   Any ideas what might cause this?
[05:04] <gunspoja> wastrel, are aliases permanent or temporary?
[05:04] <Samuel> ^_^
[05:04] <Samuel> have a nice day
[05:04] <gunspoja> will my alias still be there when I restart?
[05:04] <bruenig> Samuel, if you are looking for up to date software, ubuntu isn't the distro of choice anyways, so any arguments which say don't use 6.06 because the software is old are kind of silly because the software is always out of date in ubuntu
[05:04] <wastrel> gunspoja: add it to ~/.bash_profile
[05:04] <heguru> ki4cgp: are you using scim or multiple keyboard layouts?
[05:04] <verb3k> matthew22, see this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[05:04] <gunspoja> thanks
[05:05] <howlingmadhowie> gunspoja: if you save them in your .bashrc or .bash_profile, they will always be there for you :)
[05:05] <d|v> anybody here use checkinstall?
[05:05] <heguru> gunspoja: for all users add to /etc/bash.bashrc
[05:05] <d|v> specifially the checkinstall --inspect command
[05:05] <gunspoja> great
[05:05] <bluestreak_> overlord, whats the issue?
[05:05] <XXer> Could someone help me out with this I am vary new to linux so I am not sure what this means.I d/l a game called Sauerbraten but I cant figer out how to install it. In the readme file it says "    * For Linux: gunzip, chmod +x sauerbraten_unix and then ./sauerbraten_unix. Needs a decent and compliant OpenGL implementation."
[05:05] <darkangel> will i completley need to reinstall ubuntu for the next version and i herd rumors it comes with wine
[05:05] <verb3k> bruenig, wrong......the universe is NOT up to date
[05:05] <matthew22> howlingmadhowie:  http://pastebin.ca/707608
[05:05] <Samuel> bruenig, thanks for the hint, but im looking for something new, and software up to date isnt really what i want, thanks ^_^
[05:05] <gunspoja> excellent
[05:06] <overlord> bluestreak: i have installed ububntu 6.10, but it is unable to load X
[05:06] <bruenig> verb3k, what?
[05:06] <gunspoja> wastrel, have you heard of lojban before?
[05:06] <overlord> bluestreak: so, i tried upgradin to 7.04, but again, the livecd isnt loadin X
[05:06] <rafaelscj> may I use "/join #channel" (at Gaim) here in this channel? will it work?
[05:06] <wastrel> gunspoja: yeah i was interested in conlangs in college.  i've since decided i'm hopeless at language acquisition so i'm sticking with english
[05:06] <verb3k> bruenig, hmm .....universe repo is old in 6.06
[05:06] <bruenig> verb3k, ubuntu's policy is not to update software except in the case of security reasons, which means most of it is out of date very quickly after a release regardless of the repo that contains it
[05:06] <heguru> rafaelscj: yes it will
[05:06] <Darkhack_> Anyone know what package I need to fix this error... "configure: error: X11 development libraries/headers not found"
[05:07] <bluestreak_> whats the error when you start X
[05:07] <howlingmadhowie> matthew22: save it as file.html and try to load it again
[05:07] <heguru> Darkhack_: libx11-dev
[05:07] <overlord> no error, the screen goes black, but i tried install gentoo 2007.0, its live cd gave the error: Unable to load X. It maybe because your display driver isn't installed properly.
[05:08] <rafaelscj> hegur, thanks
[05:08] <bluestreak_> overlord, which card do you have?
[05:08] <verb3k> bruenig, strange ....... first time I hear of this ..... what's your proof?
[05:08] <overlord> nVidia 8800 GTS 320mb
[05:08] <bluestreak_> can you boot into text mode  and then give startx at command promot
[05:08] <Darkhack_> heguru: That's what I thought, and I have it installed, but it keeps throwing that configure error.
[05:08] <darkangel> how do i change teh pic when logong in loggin screen->a ubuntu logo (i wanna change this is it possible)-> desktop
[05:08] <heguru> Darkhack_: what are you configuring?
[05:08] <overlord> bluestreak: hmm..btw..i forgot to mention, am new to linux...so kindly tell me the command to boot X
[05:08] <bluestreak_> okay... boot into text mode
[05:08] <bluestreak_> http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[05:09] <bluestreak_> go here
[05:09] <overlord> k
[05:09] <vocx> verb3k, really you didn't know this? bruenig is correct, I'm sure you can find some information in the wiki or forums.
[05:09] <wims> when will the new version of ubuntu be released ?
[05:09] <bluestreak_> download envy and run in text mode
[05:09] <ki4cgp> heguru, no.  I think it has something to do with chown.  I botched it earlier
[05:09] <bruenig> verb3k, um firefox 1.5 in 6.06, I thought you just said that
[05:09] <overlord> ouhh
[05:09] <Darkhack_> startup-notification... I am compiling Epiphany from source.
[05:09] <bluestreak_> envy should fix almost all nvidia probl;ems
[05:09] <Darkhack_> with jhbuild.
[05:09] <bruenig> !envy | bluestreak_
[05:09] <ubotu> bluestreak_: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[05:09] <wastrel> wims: october
[05:09] <wims> so
[05:09] <wims> should i get the beta ?
[05:09] <wastrel> no
[05:09] <wims> no good ?
[05:09] <wastrel> (it's still alpha)
[05:10] <wims> oh
[05:10] <bluestreak_> hmmmm. Sometimes it has problem agreed
[05:10] <wastrel> RC1 i think is the "beta" stage
[05:10] <revx> does the Xubuntu ISO an Installation CD or a Live CD once burned?
[05:10] <heguru> Darkhack_: does it tell where is it lookin for the headers? try ./configure --help
[05:10] <adfa> i need help
[05:10] <verb3k> bruenig, what did I say wrong ? with feisty you get firefox 2 .....I didn't really ment to say "unsupported" by saying "outdated"...I just used it to say that the versions are not the latest
[05:10] <heguru> adfa: ask your question
[05:11] <bluestreak_> revx: both
[05:11] <adfa> is for ircd.conf
[05:11] <wastrel> what's wrong with feisty's firefox?
[05:11] <chalcedony> we had edgy.. feisty is newer
[05:11] <darkangel> is there a wifi scanner program
[05:11] <bruenig> verb3k, but feisty stuff is out of date too, I thought you were emphasizing that he should use feisty because it is up to date and I just meant to interject that if you are putting focus on up to date, ubuntu isn't your distro anyways
[05:11] <heguru> darkangel: iwlist
[05:11] <darkangel> ???
[05:11] <Darkhack_> I'll ignore it for now and come back later
[05:11] <heguru> darkangel: iwlist <interface> scan
[05:12] <howlingmadhowie> wastrel: traditionally the RC means "if we don't find a show-stopper, this is what we'll be releasing". however, having sat through more release candidates of vista than there have been installments of friday the 13th (that comparison is correct on so many levels), the words "release candidate" lost somewhat in meaning
[05:12] <darkangel> so terminal and type iwlist
[05:12] <overlord> bluestreak: how do i download envy through verbose mode? the site only has the gui version of it. *ps: m still a noob*
[05:12] <wastrel> iwlist scan
[05:12] <darkangel> ok
[05:13] <Walkermag> Agh.
[05:13] <revx> so it could be an installation CD as well...
[05:13] <rafaelscj> does anyone know how to put "~" over "a" or "o"? I can't do this: "~a"
[05:13] <overlord> bluestreak: how do i download envy through verbose mode? the site only has the gui version of it. *ps: m still a noob*
[05:13] <Walkermag> Hello.
[05:13] <bruenig> overlord, envy is dangerous, we do not advocate its use
[05:13] <overlord> hmm..
[05:13] <heguru> rafaelscj: in X or in terminal?
[05:13] <MeeKs> im looking to install ubuntu 7.04 on my spare pc but worry about the system requirements
[05:13] <ki4cgp> heguru, no.  I do have fast user switching enable, but it hasn't been a problem till now.  I accidentally chown'ed a lot of system files to a regular user and had to chown them back to root.  I'm thinking this made a mess of things.  But so far the only problem is the screensaver won't let me back into my desktop
[05:13] <overlord> so how do load X
[05:14] <MeeKs> its a amd sempron 2600+ with 256mb ram, will that be enough?
[05:14] <howlingmadhowie> rafaelscj: that's a "no dead keys" setting in your keyboard configuration
[05:14] <heguru> rafaelscj: you can always use Application -> Accessories -> Character Map
[05:14] <bluestreak_> overlord, can you do startx and give me output
[05:14] <bluestreak_> I wil not recommend envy since its not very good
[05:14] <bluestreak_> sorry for that
[05:14] <bluestreak_> but I can help you otherwize
[05:14] <vocx> MeeKs, add all RAM you can. I would suggest 512 MB at least.
[05:14] <MeeKs> really

[05:14] <user_> How do I install the GTK Opengl extension (libgtkglext1) ??
[05:14] <overlord> bluestreak: temme how do i load X thru the terminal
[05:15] <revx> whats best ubuntu OS for my spare PC AMD700/128mbram/64mbVC???

[05:15] <bluestreak_> go here
[05:15] <overlord> k
[05:15] <verb3k> bruenig, man :) I am sorry about that .....I know now what you mean ....what I wanted to say to Samuel is that the latest and greatest features are not available on dapper(network manager, FF2 , etc....) so you should not confuse the guy ....just tell him to grab the best distr and it's over .....anyway sorry for the inconvenience :)
[05:15] <heguru> ki4cgp: well maybe you should check the ownership of /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver
[05:15] <Weng_Lap> MeeKs: I have about 1000 Ubuntu boxes out there with only 128mb. You'll be fine, assuming you're not doing anything insane with it.
[05:15] <sistom> ok howlingmadhowie, I found a CD-R and burned it to that bc the dvd boot wouldn't work
[05:15] <chalcedony> my son has left for dallas, i have his computer as mine. . i have a monitor problem and some other stuff since he left today. he had both monitors working, but now the right one isn't ... what can i do?
[05:15] <Weng_Lap> This isn't Windows Vista.

[05:15] <user_> How do I install the GTK Opengl extension (libgtkglext1) ??
[05:15] <MeeKs> weng_lap i want to turn it into a mame arcade
[05:15] <sistom> now it is loading so I am going to try the install again
[05:15] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: okay. does it boot now?

[05:15] <acee1234> in trying to use xwinwrap i keep getting a badWindow error, any ideas?

[05:16] <acee1234> ati x1400
[05:16] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: my fingers are still crossed :)
[05:16] <Walkermag> I'm about to lose my mind over this RAID setup,
[05:16] <Weng_Lap> MeeKs: You'll be fine. MAME doesn't use much RAM from what I remember, and Ubuntu sure as hell doesn't.
[05:16] <Kiron> somebody can help me? somebody know some tool that can be integrated with the nagios to extair reports in monthly graph weekly dialy? debtor for the attention
[05:16] <sistom> FWH not detectred?
[05:16] <ki4cgp> heguru, its root
[05:16] <sistom> detected
[05:16] <rafaelscj> heguru, I will try
[05:16] <MeeKs> Weng_Lap: cool thanks
[05:16] <user_> wastrel: Not sure, but I installed it on windows xp with no problem. This is the same pc.
[05:16] <overlord> k..i'll tell you. currently m on windows, lemme read the installation part of binary drivers, then i'll boot ubuntu and tell ya the results
[05:17] <heguru> ki4cgp: well then its not your chown problem
[05:17] <vocx> MeeKs, but don't open various instances of Firefox and azureus.
[05:17] <AlinuxOS> hello all, I would like to ONLY download build-essential stuff. "sudo apt-get -d build-essential

[05:17] <n-iCe> How do i install the ssh ?
[05:17] <heguru> ki4cgp: i mean not chown on this file
[05:17] <wastrel> user_: lspci | grep VGA      should show the card

[05:17] <MeeKs> vocx i wont
[05:17] <bluestreak_> sudo apt-get install openssh

[05:18] <opgog> can someone tell me how to find out if my webcam is mounted and where
[05:18] <ki4cgp> heguru, Yep.  everything in that dir is owned by root, except for xterm which is owned by utmp
[05:18] <lwizardl> n-iCe: i'm trying to get the card working
[05:18] <Walkermag> Anyone here know how to setup a Software RAID 0 setup :|
[05:18] <deus> how can i make sure to get correct version number to the modules of nvidia???!!
[05:18] <vocx> AlinuxOS, maybe you need to read the manual page for "apt-get" or "aptitude"
[05:18] <opgog> can I search for it osmehow?
[05:18] <kb0rpj-wx> Ok.. back with followups to my earyler issue.. trying to run anything.. trying gnome atm, gives me numerous errors stating "GLib-Warning ** getpw uid_r(): failed due to permission denied."
[05:18] <Kiron> somebody can help me? somebody know some tool that can be integrated with the nagios to extair reports in monthly graph weekly dialy? debtor for the attention
[05:18] <AlinuxOS> vocx, I've done it.
[05:18] <heguru> opgog: run mount and paste the output on pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/)
[05:18] <AlinuxOS> vocx, I need only donwlaod them
[05:19] <AlinuxOS> -d option gives me that output.
[05:19] <opgog> thanks
[05:19] <AlinuxOS> I need to download that package + dependencies.
[05:19] <opgog> I use Removable Drives and Media by the way
[05:19] <AlinuxOS> for Feisty.
[05:19] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: has it booted okay?
[05:19] <kb0rpj-wx> the ONLY way i can get into anything was to manually start xfce from the failsafe terminal when logged in as root
[05:19] <rafaelscj> heguru, there is no "Character Map"
[05:19] <heguru> Kiron: I am using a script with cron but with zenoss
[05:19] <overlord> bluestreak: what is the command to load x thru the terminal ?
[05:19] <vocx> AlinuxOS, then I think you may download the individual compilers instead, like gcc, g++, and make.
[05:20] <AlinuxOS> vocx, manually?
[05:20] <user_> wastre: The thing is, I found libgtkglext1 & libgtkglext1-dev on synaptic, but the online file was not found.
[05:20] <Kiron> heguru
[05:20] <opgog> so I posted
[05:20] <howlingmadhowie> overlord: do you mean "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" ?
[05:20] <user_> wastrel: (I keep spelling your name wrong) The thing is, I found libgtkglext1 & libgtkglext1-dev on synaptic, but the online file was not found.
[05:20] <bluestreak_> overlord, startx
[05:20] <Kiron> heguru  he work how nagiostat?
[05:20] <sistom> ok howlingmadhowie once again it is installing
[05:20] <bluestreak_> or run X --configure
[05:20] <sistom> let's hope this cd works
[05:20] <heguru> rafaelscj: i guess its hidden by default try gnome-character-map
[05:20] <vocx> AlinuxOS, with apt-get I mean. I'm not sure if build-essential is just a metapackage.
[05:21] <opgog> k
[05:21] <gNoLa> why my ubuntu not complete installed
[05:21] <bluestreak_> run sudo X -configure
[05:21] <gNoLa> juz 81%
[05:21] <howlingmadhowie> sistom: let's hope it was just the cd and not a hardware incompatibility :)
[05:21] <bluestreak_> it should bring a X session
[05:21] <gNoLa> and hang
[05:21] <overlord> hmm..k..
[05:21] <bruenig> it is a meta package, meaning, don't install it with aptitude if you have a brain
[05:21] <Weng_Lap> By the way, has anyone ever gotten a Texas Insturments PCI1620 (that's a PCMCIA adapter)'s internal media readers working? The PCMCIA part works, but getting the card readers to work under *WINDOWS* is an undertaking, much less Linux.
[05:21] <AlinuxOS> vocx, ah
[05:21] <vocx> bruenig, that was harsh... I'm telling the mods to ban you again (joke)
[05:21] <wastrel> user_: you weren't able to install the package?
[05:21] <heguru> Kiron: its a script that queries mysql and save results in text files and mails them using postfix.. again i have it posted in zenoss forums please search there
[05:22] <wastrel> user_: sudo apt-get install libgtkglext1     maybe
[05:22] <[sistom] > Installing system Copying files... 24%
[05:22] <Walkermag> Anyone have any idea how to setup RAID 0 in Software Raid?
[05:22] <darkangel> ugg still sound problems
[05:22] <Walkermag> Been at it for hours.
[05:22] <howlingmadhowie> gNoLa: at around 80% it will try to connect to servers and download additional language files. maybe the servers and slow or down. try installing in en-us and adding another language after the installation
[05:22] <bluestreak_> use LVM
[05:22] <rafaelscj> howlingmadhowie, do you know how to active that dead key?

[05:22] <user_> wastrel: Tried that. It won't work.
[05:22] <vocx> AlinuxOS, do not paste here or you are terminated.

[05:23] <wastrel> user_:  do you have the universe repository enabled/
[05:23] <Tann> I have set Ubuntu to mount a partition on boot, but now it is trying to boot off that partition. How do I make it not boot from that partition?
[05:23] <wastrel> ? even
[05:23] <AlinuxOS> I don't need to install...I need only donwload via apt.
[05:23] <user_> wastrel: I thought so. Either way, how do I make sure?
[05:23] <kb0rpj-wx> let me recap my problem in hopes someone will have a fix.. when trying to restart my system earyler i got an error that it couldn't recgoinze the format of background.png, when we were able to look at the pix, it's viewable and appears normal.. when we try to start anything.. nothing will start.. xfce or gnome. i can start xfce after going to fail safe terminal and switching to root
[05:24] <vocx> AlinuxOS, check your cache /var/apt/cache I think. All debs go there.

[05:26] <bluestreak_> overlord, I might go soon
[05:26] <verb3k> AlinuxOS, you have to include the "install command or it will not work
[05:26] <bluestreak_> overlord, is your problem solved?

[05:27] <user_> wastrel: Still, I don't see why I can't download it. Have you ever used it?
[05:27] <darkangel> i have no sound
[05:27] <meezyfuh> IntuitiveNipple, what do i do?
[05:27] <wastrel> user_:  you can't download it because your sources.list is messed up :] 
[05:27] <verb3k> AlinuxOS, ok then remove it and install it again and you will find the packages in the cache directory ...simple , isn't it?
[05:28] <Jstn> Does anyone know why when running fluxbox, the fonts are large and then only way to make them small again is to run the gnome-fonts program?

[05:28] <IntuitiveNipple> meezyfuh: read the HowTo page
[05:28] <amel> amel
[05:28] <verb3k> AlinuxOS, clean your cache first
[05:28] <user_> wastrel: How do I fix it?
[05:28] <chalcedony> :)
[05:28] <user_> wastrel: At least to download the opengl ext.
[05:28] <meezyfuh> IntuitiveNipple, of course. thank you. :>
[05:28] <opgog> I'm looking to unmount a webcam I have (I use Removable Drives and Media which auto mounts the webcam) and mount it in my virtual box setup of XP.
[05:28] <gNoLa> who's can help me
[05:28] <AlinuxOS> verb3k, you've right! ;)
[05:28] <AlinuxOS> thank you.
[05:28] <gNoLa> i already install ubuntu
[05:28] <vocx> AlinuxOS, are you sure the relevant compilers aren't in the CD or DVD? You can use "apt-cdrom" and use the CD or DVD as a repository also.
[05:28] <chalcedony> kb0rpj-wx: i can't even copy paste..i wonder what isn't loaded to keep paste from working?
[05:28] <AlinuxOS> thank you a lot! ;)
[05:29] <opgog> I'm an animation student and need it for work
[05:29] <gNoLa> but problem now
[05:29] <Walkermag> Alright, LVM isn't working out too well.
[05:29] <AlinuxOS> vocx, not sure.
[05:29] <bluestreak_> darkangel, what do you see in Administration -> sound
[05:29] <gNoLa> just 81% installed
[05:29] <chalcedony> kb0rpj-wx: msg me on unet  can't paste your nick there
[05:29] <verb3k> AlinuxOS, on the other computer .....copy the packages to the cache directory: /var/cache/apt/archives
[05:29] <wastrel> user_: what i would do:  1.  figure out which release you're running.  2.  go to the source-o-matic and generate a new sources.list (and replace your existing /etc/apt/sources.list with it (backup the existing one just in case))  3.  sudo apt-get update  4.  now install your proggy i forgot the name of at this point
[05:29] <darkangel> im new wheres that
[05:30] <verb3k> AlinuxOS, and just do a normal : sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:30] <wastrel> user_: http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[05:30] <overlord> bluestreak:
[05:30] <TheItalianGuy> thank you all
[05:30] <howlingmadhowie> gNoLa: the servers for additional language packs may not be responding. try installing again but using english as the language and then installing other languages after the installation is complete
[05:30] <TheItalianGuy> I will look there

[05:30] <verb3k> AlinuxOS, good luck :)
[05:30] <[sistom] > The installer incountered an error copying files to the hard disk:
[05:31] <howlingmadhowie> [sistom] : mm?
[05:31] <darkangel> fdisk
[05:31] <Walkermag> Could anyone walk me through setting up LVM?
[05:31] <howlingmadhowie> [sistom] : that is not a good sign.
[05:31] <tarelerulz> I have amd 64 processor and I installed fakeroot and debhelper so I could run /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh so I could play dvds and I got error 77 while compiling ?

[05:32] <howlingmadhowie> [sistom] : did it get to a different place this time?
[05:32] <gNoLa> howlingmadhowie : i already install many time
[05:32] <rafaelscj> howlingmadhowie, okay, what must I change there? I couldn't see anything, sorry
[05:32] <overlord> Xorg is not able to detect your mouse.
[05:32] <overlord> Edit the file and correct the device
[05:32] <overlord> Your xorg.conf file is root/xorg.conf.new
[05:32] <overlord> To test server, run 'X -config /root/xorg.conf.new'
[05:32] <gNoLa> but have same problem
[05:32] <darkangel> ok i clicked on sound and everything is auto detect
[05:32] <heguru> Walkermag: can you brief you setup here? number of disks, required raid level?
[05:32] <howlingmadhowie> rafaelscj: you have to add a new keyboard layout. i think it's in the second tab
[05:32] <bluebanana> hi. I've installed (by just plugging in!) an (old) HP LaserJet 5P printer. I'm wanting to save on toner and am tinkering around the "Properties" of this pirinter. On the Advanced tab, I see "Toner Density", which goes from 1 to 5. Which is least dense
[05:32] <overlord> anyone here, who can help me..??
[05:33] <Walkermag> Heguru, Alright
[05:33] <[sistom] > so what do you think howlingmadhowie?
[05:33] <[sistom] > cd-rom is bad?
[05:33] <Walkermag> I have 4 Hardrives, Trying to run two RAID 0 arrays
[05:33] <IdleOne> bluebanana: I would guess 1
[05:33] <darkangel> helloo
[05:33] <user_> wastrel: I completed the online form. How do I replace my current list?
[05:33] <meezyfuh> IntuitiveNipple,  ok, so i added the repositories, now how do i install the codecs?
[05:33] <overlord> I'm not able to boot X..anyone can help me??!!!!
[05:33] <heguru> Walkermag: will you mount / (root) on any of them? or only for data
[05:33] <howlingmadhowie> gNoLa: and i'm betting you set the system language to something other than english. this means ubuntu will try to download additional language files from the internet during installation. if the language servers are slow or down, this may result in problems
[05:33] <revx> whats best ubuntu OS for my spare PC AMD700/128mbram/64mbVC???
[05:34] <meezyfuh> i'm using feisty
[05:34] <tarelerulz> Maybe that is not clear ,but I am lost as to why It happened . It seem have amd 64  proccesor is hard ever in Ubunut
[05:34] <IdleOne> revx: ummm wild gues here but maybe UBUNTU
[05:34] <Walkermag> Heguru, Intially I used the RAID setup and mounted / and /home
[05:34] <gNoLa> hmm
[05:34] <overlord> I'm not able to boot X..anyone can help me??!!!!
[05:34] <IdleOne> revx: try out 7.04
[05:34] <howlingmadhowie> [sistom] : i don't see why the disk would be bad. how long has the laptop been running for? maybe it's overheating
[05:34] <gNoLa> same
[05:34] <rafaelscj> howlingmadhowie, hum, I am using an espanish layout (the correct), but "~" over "a" is a brazilian letter
[05:34] <darkangel> i have a sound problem i have no sound (fiesty 7.04)
[05:34] <IntuitiveNipple> meezyfuh: Did you add them manually, or through Synaptic?
[05:34] <Walkermag> After awhile, it wouldn't mount grub
[05:34] <revx> hahahaha particularly what
[05:34] <vocx> bluebanana, with all due respect that is not a question for this channel. Print a few pages and decide.
[05:35] <overlord> I'm not able to boot X..anyone can help me??!!!!
[05:35] <overlord> I'm not able to boot X..anyone can help me??!!!!
[05:35] <overlord> I'm not able to boot X..anyone can help me??!!!!
[05:35] <revx> 7.04 maybe a heavy OS for my box
[05:35] <heguru> Walkermag: :/ wouldn't mount grub? you mean wouldn't mount boot?
[05:35] <bluebanana> vocx, but doing so will waste toner! 8-)
[05:35] <meezyfuh> IntuitiveNipple, i did the commands you use to add the repositories, just copied & pasted. the sudo wget and stuff...
[05:35] <verb3k> revx, maybe xubuntu
[05:35] <Walkermag> Heguru, Mind me, first time.
[05:35] <IdleOne> revx: that is light on ram but you can always install xfce or some other light weight manager afterwards. Xubuntu is Ubuntu with xfce
[05:35] <wastrel> user_: cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/souces.list.bak    then  gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list   and replace the contents with the stuff you got from the source-o-matic
[05:35] <vocx> tarelerulz, do you have relevant compilers? Talk to the guys in ubuntuforums.org in the 64-bit section and learn from them. They claim 64-bit is not hard.
[05:35] <Walkermag> heguru, I mounted / and /home
[05:35] <wastrel> er, sources.list.bak
[05:35] <bluebanana> what do i type in my browser to get to cups/printer thingie?
[05:35] <Walkermag> Must I mount /boot?
[05:35] <darkangel> hellu
[05:36] <gustavo> whats the best way to secure a web server?
[05:36] <IntuitiveNipple> meezyfuh: ok, have you done "sudo apt-get update" yet? of not, do that
[05:36] <bullgard4> English help wanted: What does it mean 'to spawn a sub-shell' in man softbeep: "To redirect the beep to the sound card, just run softbeep foo. If you omit foo then a sub shell will be spawned where all children processes will have their beep redirected."
[05:36] <revx> xubuntu ok the latest platform will do?
[05:36] <verb3k> revx, or maybe Damn Small Linux ....google it :)
[05:36] <[sistom] > howlingmadhowie: I am going to try and run the install from an external cd rom and see what happens
[05:36] <knapsack> gustavo: Which server software?
[05:36] <revx> oww
[05:36] <overlord> *bleh*
[05:36] <howlingmadhowie> rafaelscj: you'll have to search through the keyboard layouts and find one with an ~a.
[05:36] <meezyfuh> IntuitiveNipple, done
[05:36] <IdleOne> revx: yes
[05:36] <gustavo> knapsack: apache
[05:36] <tarelerulz> vocx , what it the irc  room name ? for amd 64 or just 64 bit
[05:36] <overlord> is my problem so complicated that no one can answer it??
[05:37] <howlingmadhowie> [sistom] : that may be a good idea. somewhere, something's going wrong with the hardware
[05:37] <heguru> Walkermag: well you need a small non lvm boot partition to load the LVM drivers :)

[05:37] <vocx> tarelerulz, I do not know of any.
[05:37] <darkangel> I HAVE NO SOUND
[05:37] <MEDP> i need help
[05:37] <darkangel> I HAVE NO SOUND
[05:37] <bruenig> bullgard4, a subshell is one whose maneuvering does not have an effect on the shell it spawns from, the most common use I have had for it is to be able to cd around temporarily without changing where the parent shell actually is
[05:37] <darkangel> I HAVE NO SOUND
[05:37] <benzs_s> i can hear you loud and clear
[05:37] <overlord> hmm
[05:37] <wastrel> eesh
[05:37] <revx> okok i will try it.
[05:37] <Walkermag> Could it be External?
[05:37] <meezyfuh> IntuitiveNipple, i didn't realize i wasn't searching 'all open source' in synaptic. so i found the gstreamer. will those help?

[05:37] <overlord> k
[05:38] <bluebanana> darkangel, you have no sound, but, ironically, we can hear you loud and clear!
[05:38] <knapsack> gustavo: You know, I think that http://www.petefreitag.com/item/505.cfm is still pretty relevant.
[05:38] <howlingmadhowie> overlord: you're probably using a graphics card like a newer ati or geforce model. to get x running, the easy way is to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver for the graphics card to "vesa".
[05:38] <darkangel> lol
[05:38] <IntuitiveNipple> meezyfuh: You can install any of the packages listed at http://www.medibuntu.org/packages.php now by typing "sudo apt-get install <package>, or, if you want to browse, by using System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[05:38] <wastrel> bullgard4:  spawn a subshell   has to do with how the bash shell  manages processes
[05:38] <chalcedony> darkangel: did you already google "no sound" and the other details about your setup?
[05:38] <kwtm> overlord: I came late.  What is your problem? (not promising I can help)
[05:38] <knapsack> gustavo: Certain things do not change over time.
[05:38] <gustavo> knapsack: oh... it seems nice :)
[05:38] <knapsack> gustavo: I hope that helps.
[05:38] <meezyfuh> i didn't know synaptic was something different from applications->add/remove.
[05:39] <A2t3c13> i have never set up or owned a printer,I just now am setting one up.I got a Lexmark8300 the set up disc says windows but when i put it in I saw the files
[05:39] <gustavo> knapsack: yeah, it will... thank you very much
[05:39] <knapsack> gustavo: You bet.
[05:39] <MEDP> i need help, wen i try to install things, it says only one software package can be open at one time
[05:39] <IntuitiveNipple> meezyfuh: Add/Remove lists the popular common packages; Synaptic lists *all* packages available in the repositories you have enabled
[05:39] <MEDP> but nothing else is open
[05:39] <bullgard4> bruenig, wastrel : You have put emphasis on 'sub-shell', but my primary deficit is in understanding the word 'to spawn' here.

[05:39] <rafaelscj> howlingmadhowie, thank, I am looking for
[05:39] <wastrel> bullgard4: spawn is "create" "birth"
[05:40] <IntuitiveNipple> bullgard4: 'to spawn' aka 'to fork' a process
[05:40] <A2t3c13> what does that mean?
[05:40] <Mexflubber> Hey ... how can I install X-chat on kubuntu ?
[05:40] <wastrel> fork a shell == spawn a shell
[05:40] <rrbiz> some1 know where the CPU scaling options are in ubuntu ?
[05:40] <meezyfuh> IntuitiveNipple, ahhh, got it. now, will the 'gstreamer' audio codec(s) in add/remove work for playing real audio in the default movie player?
[05:40] <bluebanana> my hp printer's properties has "REt setting". What is "REt"?
[05:40] <kwtm> Okay... reading through the profusion of messages ... did darkangel enter the forum and just start repeating the "I HAVE NO SOUND" message?  I can't tell what happened in the beginning --I missed it.
[05:40] <meezyfuh> IntuitiveNipple, which is 'totem'
[05:40] <gNoLa> anyone at here .. who's have a cedega software?
[05:40] <A2t3c13> i know what cups is
[05:40] <IntuitiveNipple> meezyfuh: It's so long since I did that I don't remember :p
[05:40] <A2t3c13> but how
[05:40] <IntuitiveNipple> meezyfuh: but something sure installs them :)
[05:40] <verb3k> A2t3c13, the CD may not contain a Linux driver ( look the manual)
[05:40] <bruenig> bullgard4, spawn to create, have you never played halo or some game similar
[05:41] <IdleOne> Mexflubber: sudo aptitude install xchat-common

[05:41] <meezyfuh> :>
[05:41] <wastrel> kwtm: no he's been here a while asking questions
[05:41] <wastrel> just got frustrated i guess
[05:41] <meezyfuh> i love you guys, you are always such good help! thank you!!!!
[05:41] <MEDP> can someone help me???
[05:41] <DARKGuy> hey guys, is there a way to make X use another X config file instead of only /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[05:42] <wastrel> MEDP: do you have synaptic running already?  you can only run one synaptic at a time
[05:42] <kwtm> wastrel: ok. Thx for the info.  rrbiz, I have some limited CPU scaling options on my AC Powermanager icon.  Do you have that icon?
[05:42] <jetscreamer> yes man xorg
[05:42] <MEDP> wastrelL i dont kno i just installed today
[05:42] <verb3k> A2t3c13, because the CD is for Windows , it does not boot on linux , but that does not mean your printer won't work on ubuntu
[05:42] <MEDP> wastrel: i dont know i just installed ubuntu today
[05:42] <bullgard4> bruenig: No, I have never played halo. I don not even know what halo is. But in the mean time wastrel and IntuitiveNipple explained the word 'to spawn' to me.
[05:42] <IdleOne> DARKGuy: name the Xconfig you want to use xorg.conf and rename xorg.conf to xorg.conf.backup
[05:42] <[sistom] > howlingmadhowie, so what do I do??
[05:42] <howlingmadhowie> DARKGuy: if you were starting x directly, sure. but you're starting it through the gdm wrapping script in /etc/init.d. so you'd have to have a look at that script
[05:43] <A2t3c13> so whats my best shot just plug it in?
[05:43] <rrbiz> kwtm: i've got my laptop battery icon, and cpu perfomance monitor only
[05:43] <[sistom] > it wont boot from the usb cdrom
[05:43] <IdleOne> A2t3c13: try plugging it in it might just work
[05:43] <rafaelscj> howlingmadhowie, must I restart X after doing that?
[05:43] <howlingmadhowie> [sistom] : can you boot from the external drive?
[05:43] <DARKGuy> IdleOne: yeah I could make a script to do that...
[05:43] <[sistom] > nope

[05:43] <DARKGuy> howlingmadhowie: can I run two X servers editing that script ?
[05:43] <[sistom] > for some reason it wont do it
[05:43] <howlingmadhowie> rafaelscj: no. it should automatically be adopted as soon as you select it
[05:43] <[sistom] > and I have all usb devices to be loaded first in bios
[05:43] <A2t3c13> its got a scanner too i bet i run into trouble with one of the functions not working
[05:43] <MEDP> wastrel, u there?
[05:44] <wastrel> MEDP:  what are you doing when you get that error?
[05:44] <MEDP> wastrel: trying to install frostwire
[05:44] <verb3k> A2t3c13, why not try that ? but I prefer that you read something in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers
[05:44] <kwtm> rrbiz: I am using Kubuntu, and have a choice of CPU options: "performance", "powersave", and "automatic".  Is that the same in Ubuntu, or is it unique to KDE?
[05:44] <knapsack> Now this is REALLY strange. I killed a Bittorrent client with signal 15 (HUP), and it continued to listen on port 6881. All right. But it WITHSTOOD a reboot of the machine!
[05:44] <MEDP> wastrel: and then i tried installing monodevelop which didnt work wither
[05:44] <A2t3c13> try what?
[05:44] <wastrel> A2t3c13: for scanner try sane (program name)
[05:44] <howlingmadhowie> DARKGuy: i don't think i've ever seen a system with two x-servers running at the same time.
[05:44] <SkaFreak> Hey everyone, I have a HD (720p) projector hooked up to my computer and set up with dual monitors, but I can't run it at a res higher than 640x480, any suggestions?
[05:44] <wastrel> MEDP: how are you trying to install them?
[05:44] <rrbiz> kwtm: yeah in kde the battery perfomance gives u lots of options
[05:45] <knapsack> Even 'lsof' doesn't reveal it listening.
[05:45] <andrew____> hello i am having trouble figuring out how to change all of the icons for my mp3s to the vlc icon
[05:45] <kwtm> rrbiz: Correction: that's "dynamic" , not automatic, and "performance" and "powersave".
[05:45] <MEDP> wastrel:downloading the .deb and running
[05:45] <verb3k> A2t3c13, see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers
[05:45] <IrishDave> hey, does anyone know how i can set up a queue of files that have been ripped to encode in dvd::rip? I tried using cluster mode but it throwing me up errors
[05:45] <knapsack> As in, 'lsof -i TCP:6881'
[05:45] <wastrel> MEDP: use synaptic to install monodevelop
[05:45] <DARKGuy> howlingmadhowie: me either and I'm gonna give it a try (it could be useful in an environment where lots of people connect to a server and use multiple X sessions ;) )
[05:45] <MEDP> wats synaptic??
[05:45] <wastrel> !synaptic | medp
[05:45] <ubotu> medp: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[05:45] <kwtm> rrbiz: You seem to be familiar with Kubuntu.  How about installing powersavermanager ... hey, waitaminnit!
[05:45] <DARKGuy> okay, thanks guys for all the help :D brb ^_^.
[05:45] <knapsack> So how do I find this process that's apparently listening on 6881 (according to traffic seen in tcpdump and Wireshark), and kill it? For real?
[05:45] <MEDP> thanx
[05:46] <bruenig> 6881 is a bittorrent port isn't it?
[05:46] <howlingmadhowie> DARKGuy: if you're just forwarding x-sessions using vnc or similar, i don't think an x server is started everytime someone logs in
[05:46] <chalcedony> can anyone help me get paste to work in feisty? this is my son's computer.. i got it today. i'm an adult with learning disabilities, i just really need help
[05:46] <astate> I used apt-get to install postfix, and there was a message at the end of the install I need to read again....is there a way to pull this message back up?
[05:46] <SkaFreak> hrmm...maybe I solved it
[05:46] <heguru> knapsack: netstat -npl | grep 6881
[05:46] <knapsack> bruenig: Yep, that's correct. Except there's no bittorrent client that I can see running.
[05:46] <wastrel> MEDP: frostwire i dunno, make sure you have the right package (ubuntu package) and try    dpkg -i <packagename>   on the command line.   i don't know much abut GUI package management :] 
[05:46] <A2t3c13> try sane? how do i do that?
[05:46] <bruenig> knapsack, had you been running one?
[05:46] <knapsack> heguru: No output!
[05:47] <rrbiz> kwtm: yeah i was always fond of kde but recently prefer gnome and getn acuainted now
[05:47] <heguru> knapsack: that means no software is listening on this port
[05:47] <IdleOne> chalcedony: what are you tring to paste? from where to where>?
[05:47] <knapsack> bruenig: You bet, I was running one before the reboot of my computer and killed it with signal 15.
[05:47] <IrishDave> hey, does anyone know how i can set up a queue of files that have been ripped to encode in dvd::rip? I tried using cluster mode but it throwing me up errors
[05:47] <kwtm> rrbiz: It looks like the package name is kde-guidance-powermanager.  For a moment there, it seemed like it was just a python program.
[05:47] <verb3k> A2t3c13, did you try reading the links?
[05:47] <wastrel> A2t3c13: sudo apt-get install sane   then run sane   Applications > Graphics > Xsane
[05:47] <chalcedony> IdleOne: irc to irc.. vi(m) to irc .. anything
[05:47] <heguru> knapsack: with bittorrent, if you start the client and close after a while, the peers keep trying to connect for some time
[05:47] <knapsack> heguru: Yeah, strange. But tcpdump output seems to show that something IS listening. Ntop shows the same.
[05:47] <A2t3c13> not yet im still trying to get the jacks in
[05:47] <MEDP> wastrel: i just opened the synaptic thing and this popped up : E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[05:47] <MEDP> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[05:48] <chalcedony> IdleOne: i take it back.. works from vim to irc
[05:48] <TUXedomember> g2g bye
[05:48] <[sistom] > so i'm basically screwed eh?
[05:48] <knapsack> heguru: Oh, interesting. So I could see traffic, attempts to connect to that port, but nothing listening?
[05:48] <wastrel> MEDP: open up a terminal and put that command in
[05:48] <tarelerulz> Maybe I am dumb ,but how to you play  dvd that are encrypted  ?
[05:48] <kwtm> rrbiz: You can actually install and use KDE programs under GNOME, you know.  (I do the reverse, running GNOME programs like AbiWord or GnuCash under KDE.)  You do have to install KDE libraries (it does this automatically), which takes up space, but if you use any other KDE program, it will use the same libraries, so it's a one-time overhead.
[05:48] <heguru> knapsack: yes it would gruadually disappear
[05:48] <IdleOne> chalcedony: irc to irc just left click at beginning of text and highlight it then right click and it should give you the option to paste
[05:48] <howlingmadhowie> IrishDave: if you're looking for batch processing, i'm not sure dvdrip is the right software. try transcode instead
[05:48] <MEDP> wastrel wat terminal and wat code lol
[05:48] <knapsack> heguru: I guess that makes sense -- WAY more sense than the client surviving the reboot.
[05:48] <andrew____> when i go to system preferences desktop effects, i get 'extensions missing' what should i do?
[05:48] <A2t3c13> as a matter a fact i still havent even smoked  a fat 1 let me catch up .Thanx fellas!
[05:48] <knapsack> heguru: Cool, thanks.
[05:48] <heguru> knapsack: welcome :)
[05:48] <wastrel> MEDP: Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[05:49] <IdleOne> chalcedony: most irc clients dont make you click copy
[05:49] <MEDP> wastrel: ok
[05:49] <kwtm> tarelerulz: Just install the dvdcss package, and then just play the dvd and the software should do the rest.  Hang on, let me get the name of the dvdcss package...
[05:49] <wastrel> MEDP: the code is  "dpkg --configure -a"  (without the quotes)
[05:49] <chalcedony> IdleOne: i'm discovering iit's intermittent.. worked and doesn't work
[05:50] <overlord> heguru: the link that you gave me, doesn't explaing how do i install it through the verbose mode
[05:50] <IdleOne> kwtm: libdvdcss
[05:50] <verb3k> kwtm, isn't  that libdvdcss
[05:50] <IdleOne> chalcedony: perhaps it is your mouse
[05:50] <IrishDave> howlingmadhowie: does dvdrip not use transcode?
[05:50] <kwtm> tarelerulz: It's "sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2" ... Oh, are other people getting "libdvdcss"?
[05:50] <IdleOne> kwtm: libdvdcss2 your right
[05:50] <acee1234> how can i change the splash screen on kubuntu
[05:50] <wastrel> MEDP: actually you probably need to do  "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[05:50] <ggeller> /usr/share/dict/words: broken symbolic link to `/etc/dictionaries-common/words'
[05:50] <kwtm> IdleOne, verb3k: I get mine from medibuntu. I guess there's one in universe or something?
[05:50] <IdleOne> !usplash | acee1234
[05:50] <ubotu> acee1234: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[05:51] <ggeller> What package do I install to get /etc/dictionaries-common/words ?
[05:51] <heguru> overlord: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_100.14.19.html
[05:51] <verb3k> kwtm,I don't think you will find it in the official ubuntu repositories
[05:51] <acee1234> thanks idleone
[05:51] <wastrel> ggeller: aspell or ispell probably
[05:51] <heguru> overlord: check the end of the page for instructions
[05:51] <IdleOne> acee1234: np
[05:51] <kwtm> acee1234: System Settings > Look & Feel > Splash Screen
[05:51] <howlingmadhowie> IrishDave: it does, but as far as i know, it's just a GUI for transcode. if you want to process a batch of files, writing a short shell script would be perfect, and there transcode will be a lot better than dvdrip :)
[05:51] <chalcedony> IdleOne: maybe .. now i have a second problem.. my right hand monitor worked when he was here.. but someting i did made it stop working
[05:51] <heguru> overlord: i gave you the link to the main page just select the driver you want to download and you will see the instructions
[05:52] <ggeller> wastrel: ipell is already installed.  Maybe I should install aspell too?
[05:52] <kwtm> tarelerulz: Do you know how to add medibuntu to your repository sources?
[05:52] <MasonUS> How do I go about listing all of the mp3 files in all of the directories where each directory is a child of a specified directory?
[05:52] <tarelerulz> sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 , I did that and it says it no longer there
[05:52] <IdleOne> chalcedony: dual monitors is not my thing. perhaps someone else can help you with tha
[05:52] <IrishDave> howlingmadhowie: i know how to shell script and so forth but what I am currently doing is ripping a load of dvd's at the one time and then i want to run a batch process on the dumps to convert to xvid... would i be able to do that?
[05:52] <chalcedony> IdleOne: thank you a LOT
[05:52] <wastrel> ggeller: can't hurt :] 
[05:52] <verb3k> kwtm, he can download the packages using his browser ( easier)
[05:52] <heguru> MasonUS: slocate *.mp3 OR find -iname "*.mp3"
[05:52] <chalcedony> i'm grateful for any help :)
[05:52] <IrishDave> howlingmadhowie: i say i know how... i know the basics :)
[05:52] <overlord> heguru: i did open the required driver page, but how will i download the package through verbose mode?
[05:52] <howlingmadhowie> MasonUS:  navigate to that directory and enter "find . -name "*.mp3"
[05:52] <tsukasa> how do i add a folder so that i can run shit in it without using ./ ? like /bin has
[05:52] <heguru> oh ok
[05:52] <julius_> !codecs

[05:53] <MasonUS> all:Thank you kindly :)
[05:53] <chalcedony> :)
[05:53] <tarelerulz> I have amd 64 could that be one reason stuff is not working for me?
[05:53] <IdleOne> !ohmy | tsukasa
[05:53] <ubotu> tsukasa: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:53] <heguru> overlord: to download, from console mode AFTER installation just type wget [download URL] 
[05:53] <howlingmadhowie> IrishDave: yeah, that should be simple enough. the options for transcode are of course horrendous...
[05:53] <tsukasa> IdleOne: do you want to help or not
[05:53] <kwtm> MasonUS: Type 'ls */*.mp3'
[05:53] <heguru> overlord: in you case: wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/100.14.19/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run
[05:53] <overlord> thank you heguru
[05:53] <IdleOne> tsukasa: not if you use language like that and not if you keep that attitude
[05:54] <heguru> overlord: welcome :)
[05:54] <tsukasa> IdleOne: its a very simple question to answer
[05:54] <Ashfire908> how do i run a command as another user if the account is a system account/has no pasword
[05:54] <IdleOne> tsukasa: then if it is so simple why dont you know the answer
[05:54] <tsukasa> IdleOne: if you dont want to answer it ill go to a different channel. its not a big deal
[05:54] <tsukasa> okay then
[05:54] <kwtm> verb3k: Good point.  It is only one package, after all.  BUt then he won't get updates.  If tarelerulz goes through EasyBuntu or Automatix, does it update the repos for him?
[05:54] <IdleOne> tsukasa: I didnt say I dont want to answer it
[05:55] <heguru> tsukasa: place them in /usr/local/bin
[05:55] <verb3k> tarelerulz, I have an AMD63 and I run the 32 version for compatibility issues
[05:55] <vocx> verb3k, amd63? impressive
[05:55] <MasonUS> kwtm: that didn't work actually
[05:55] <tsukasa> heguru: but how do i add a folder to be searched like /usr/local/bin
[05:55] <wastrel> the !ohmy trigger is pretty annoying  !language is better   but that's offtopic... :] 
[05:55] <IdleOne> tsukasa: I dont honestly know the answer but I do know that you can not use foul language in this channel
[05:55] <MasonUS> kwtm: the other methods worked though
[05:55] <bruenig> wastrel, I prefer !gtfo
[05:55] <wastrel> tsukasa: mkdir ~/bin/
[05:55] <darkangel> i have sound
[05:55] <verb3k> vocx, sorry it's AMD 64
[05:55] <howlingmadhowie> vocx: it was the release candidate for the 64bit line :)
[05:55] <verb3k> :)
[05:55] <kwtm> MasonUS: Ok.  Glad you found the way.  Not sure why it didn't work; worked on mine.  Aaaanyway.
[05:55] <ShiftyPowers> need some urgent help if someone is good with LVM here...I just upgraded my HTPC which had two logical volumes under one VG...when I upgraded and rebooted, on eof hte logical volumes is gone from the volume group
[05:56] <ShiftyPowers> how can I re-add the logical volume without losing the data?
[05:56] <ShiftyPowers> is that possible?
[05:56] <heguru> tsukasa: or in ~/.bashrc add export PATH=$PATH:/yourdirectory
[05:56] <vampyre_eyes> hey guys
[05:56] <verb3k> kwtm, also automatix isn't a good thing to use with ubuntu
[05:56] <darkangel> ihave sound i have sound i have sound i have sound
[05:57] <MEDP> wastrel:hey sorry, my comp just randomly started typing 'c' really fast into watever had focus
[05:57] <MEDP> so i ripped the cord out of the wall
[05:57] <MEDP> wastrel: and the code dont work
[05:57] <wastrel> MEDP: you're having lots of fun problems.
[05:57] <Ashfire908> how do i run a command as another user if the account is a system account/has no pasword
[05:57] <wastrel> MEDP: yeah i forgot to tell you to use sudo
[05:57] <MEDP> wastrel:lol
[05:57] <kwtm> ShiftyPowers: Lots of acronyms I don't know, so I probably am not the one to ask, but I have partitioned my drive before with fdisk ... I wonder if I know how to answer your question but don't realize it. LVM is Logical Vol Mgr, not just any partitioning program, right?
[05:57] <kwtm> verb3k: Yeah, I heard about automatix.
[05:57] <MEDP> wastrel:y dont i kno this shit >_<
[05:58] <MEDP> lol
[05:58] <verb3k> MEDP, pressing the power button for 5 seconds will turn off your computer
[05:58] <bruenig> Ashfire908, if you are root, you can just do su username -c "command"
[05:58] <ShiftyPowers> yeah logical volume manager
[05:58] <rafaelscj> howlingmadhowie, can you type "~" over "a"?
[05:58] <ShiftyPowers> fack, i had some logical volumes set up but now I've lost one of them
[05:58] <Ashfire908> bruenig: so sudo su?
[05:58] <bruenig> Ashfire908, maybe
[05:58] <MEDP> wastrel:this is why eighth graders should NOT even try to install ubuntu XD
[05:58] <verb3k> kwtm, the ubuntu developers criticize it much for breaking the system
[05:58] <heguru> Ashfire908: sudo -u [username]  command
[05:58] <bruenig> I am not a big user of sudo myself
[05:59] <wastrel> MEDP: "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[05:59] <MEDP> wastrel:yay :D
[05:59] <MEDP> wastrel:ill try
[06:00] <howlingmadhowie> rafaelscj: i can't on this keyboard layout. if the letter is only found rarely, you can enter it as unicode (ctrl-alt-shift-u and then the unicode number) or just bind the letter to a key (which may be easier in the long run)
[06:00] <MEDP> /sudo blah blah blah?
[06:00] <vocx> !language > MEDP
[06:00] <[sistom] > intel_rfg FWH not detected
[06:00] <[sistom] > what does that mean?
[06:00] <wastrel> MEDP: no , in the terminal again .
[06:00] <jetscreamer> rfg or rng
[06:00] <Ashfire908> heguru: thanks
[06:00] <howlingmadhowie> [sistom] : i don't know what an fwh is.
[06:00] <wastrel> [sistom] : looks like an error from a kernel module
[06:00] <jetscreamer> rng would be random number generator
[06:00] <MEDP> wastrel are there spaces between the stuff and the -'s and --'s
[06:00] <[sistom] > rng
[06:00] <[sistom] > ya
[06:01] <[sistom] > that a fatal error? could that be why it won't install?
[06:01] <jetscreamer> no it means you don't have one
[06:01] <[sistom] > o_O
[06:01] <jetscreamer> fatal to loading the module, not your system
[06:01] <wastrel> MEDP: --configure   is all one thing,  also  -a
[06:01] <[sistom] > so that wouldn't hender an install?
[06:01] <wastrel> spaces before but not after
[06:02] <jetscreamer> shouldn't... i just saw that msg when i was installing this morning, for the first time even
[06:02] <jetscreamer> it's now installed
[06:02] <[sistom] > ok
[06:02] <jetscreamer> of course that was debian ... maybe your cpu will melt... :o
[06:02] <jetscreamer> j/k
[06:02] <MEDP> wastrel:it says command not found
[06:02] <kamers> help please
[06:03] <heguru> kamers: whats your question?
[06:03] <ggeller> I think I need wamerican or a different w... package.
[06:03] <jetscreamer> supply the path maybe, /usr/bin/dpkg
[06:03] <wastrel> MEDP:   sudo   dpkg    --configure    -a        :] 
[06:03] <howlingmadhowie> [sistom] : google tells me it isn't an important error message.
[06:04] <chalcedony> i can't get vi(m) into insert mode?
[06:04] <vocx> wastrel, no! he'll type the smiley as part of the command!
[06:04] <kamers> hi, tks. where i find a good video card compatibility list? :)
[06:04] <MEDP> vocx:lolololololololololololololol
[06:04] <howlingmadhowie> [sistom] : which doesn't bring us any closer to finding what's going wrong here.
[06:04] <MEDP> vocx:literally rolling on the floor for a sec
[06:04] <jetscreamer> howlingmadhowie: he doesn't have the random number generator
[06:05] <jetscreamer> :o
[06:05] <verb3k> hmm I thought lol isn't welcome here
[06:05] <chalcedony> mutt isn't installed.. i can't use vim.
[06:05] <howlingmadhowie> [sistom] : i am however getting really tired, so i'd best be off to bed. good luck :)

[06:06] <verb3k> :)
[06:06] <MEDP> wastrel:i removed the broken package :D
[06:06] <HealthyElijah> How do I get my termianl window to not be so transparent in ubuntu feisty
[06:06] <verb3k> !lol
[06:06] <ubotu> 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, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.
[06:06] <wastrel> MEDP: cool , now synaptic should start
[06:06] <MEDP> wastrel:it was a java bin5 thingy, damn java, and there leet ways *shakes fist*
[06:06] <BigDaddy> good evening all
[06:06] <wastrel> chalcedony: try instlaling vim-full

[06:07] <BigDaddy> busy night in here?
[06:07] <wastrel> always :] 
[06:07] <MEDP> wastrel:i already started it, removed the broken package and flew around the world on a chihuahua, now ima try install frostwire
[06:07] <vocx> verb3k, nevertheless the channel is slowing down at this time. So we can relax a little.
[06:07] <chalcedony> wastrel: sudo apt-get install vim-full  ?
[06:07] <wastrel> !frostwire |medp
[06:07] <ubotu> medp: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[06:07] <kamers> another question: how can I force xorg to not use interlaced mode...
[06:07] <wastrel> chalcedony: yup
[06:07] <rafaelscj> howlingmadhowie, I choose all possible layouts and can't get it working. how do I to bind a key?
[06:07] <acee1234> i cant extract a folder but i can view all the file individually, any ideas error is  "not in Gzip format. file is .tar.gz format
[06:08] <BigDaddy> I am just trying to configure my papaerweight printer. Thought I would come in here and see how the other half is faring.
[06:08] <bruenig> acee1234, tar xf file.tar.gz does what?

[06:09] <InSaNiTyIG> can anyone help me with trying to uninstall AIM thru uninstaller for wine?
[06:09] <MEDP> wastrel:omg me too! lol
[06:09] <willrjmarshall> Hey there. I managed to break one of my Ubuntu installs today, as the power went down just as Ubuntu was starting up. I've tried fscking the drive from the Live CD, but there seem to be no errors. Basically, Ubuntu hangs right after it starts, then dumps me into something called intitramfs. If I boot in safe mode, it does much the same thing, but it seems to be dumping a log at me which finished with lines similar to "attached SCSI
[06:09] <willrjmarshall> generic sg5 type 0", then hangs for a minute or two, then dumps me back into initramfs. Does anyone know what this issue is, so I can work out how to fix it?
[06:09] <bluebanana> what do you call the port/hole that is circle-shaped and has 9 pins/holes?
[06:09] <MEDP> wastrel:wat do u use on it?
[06:09] <vocx> chalcedony, whenever in doubt of a package name use "apt-cache search something1 something2" where something are relevant strings
[06:09] <wastrel> hs_: you can add it to /etc/network/interfaces  (wireless-key <your essid>
[06:09] <bluebanana> it is on the back of my old HP laserjet 5p printer
[06:09] <wastrel> MEDP: mostly i use it at work
[06:09] <tarelerulz> maybe I am dumb ,but I found how  install meidaubuntu and it did not work at all
[06:09] <hs_> TX
[06:09] <acee1234> bruenig i wasnt using the terminal was is the format for that command
[06:09] <BigDaddy> oh, hey I have a question. Should be an easy for you guys. Do you know where kweather images are stored?
[06:09] <MEDP> wastrel:work?wtf how old are u !!??
[06:09] <bruenig> acee1234, I don't understand your question
[06:09] <heguru> willrjmarshall: when you run fsck from live cd
[06:10] <heguru> willrjmarshall: was it fsck or fsck -f?
[06:10] <MEDP> wastrel:*expression
[06:10] <willrjmarshall> heguru: I just ran fsck /dev/sda1, fsck /dev/sda2, etc
[06:10] <heguru> willrjmarshall: if only fsck then boot again using liveCD and run fsck -f
[06:10] <chalcedony> wastrel: can i paste 7 lines in here?
[06:10] <willrjmarshall> heguru: What does -f do?
[06:10] <acee1234> bruenig what do you mean by tar xf?
[06:10] <heguru> willrjmarshall: normal fsck would not check the disk if its marked clean
[06:10] <MEDP> wastrel:lol y am i so young compared every1 :(
[06:10] <alitadeposca> hi
[06:10] <bruenig> acee1234, tar is the program x and f are the options
[06:10] <heguru> willrjmarshall: which means even if the disk has errors but is marked clean, fsck won't check it
[06:10] <kamers> people: please, where can i get a *good* (not a google one) HCL for Ubuntu
[06:11] <chalcedony> vocx: ty much :) i'd paste that to a note .. but um i can't paste
[06:11] <heguru> willrjmarshall: fsck -f will check the disk even if its marked clean
[06:11] <vocx> !paste | chalcedony
[06:11] <ubotu> chalcedony: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:11] <rafaelscj> does anyone know how to bind a key?
[06:11] <wastrel> chalcedony: don't.  use pastebin. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:11] <willrjmarshall> heguru: Thanks
[06:11] <heguru> willrjmarshall: welcome :)
[06:11] <chalcedony> wastrel: k
[06:11] <verb3k> !wtf > MEDP
[06:11] <willrjmarshall> heguru: Do you have any idea what the problem might be, or is this just a potential fix?
[06:11] <acee1234> bruenig all i did was right click on the tar and tell it to extract to the same folder the tar is in
[06:12] <bruenig> acee1234, just do it from the command line, I cannot help you when you use abstracting guis that fail
[06:12] <heguru> willrjmarshall: seems like a hard disk issue.. lets hope its minor and can be fixed with fsck.. you do have backup right :D
[06:12] <BigDaddy> anyone? Kweather images? can they be replaced?
[06:12] <wastrel> MEDP: it happens to the best of us :] 
[06:12] <acee1234> bruenig im a bit new and used to the gui thing was is the terminal command?
[06:12] <willrjmarshall> heguru: I do. I'll lose some settings and have to reinstall a bunch of drivers, and my girlfriend will kill me - so I don't want to lose this install if I can avoid it
[06:12] <alitadeposca> need a little help, i installed ubuntu 7.04, then used synaptic to install some apps, and guess what, i used up the whole disk space, and synaptic didn't warn me! after rebooting when i tried to log in, i couldn't because there was not a single megabyte for system use..... is this a bug?? i think so
[06:12] <chalcedony> i tried to apt-get vim-full .. the error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38318/
[06:13] <MEDP> wastrel:lol ima be an uber leet app programmer with c# nd like pwn every1 like o! burn! ms word 2017! oooooo
[06:13] <heguru> willrjmarshall: try fsck and see how that goes
[06:13] <MEDP> wastrel:lol
[06:13] <vocx> alitadeposca, what? not possible!
[06:13] <willrjmarshall> heguru: fsck -f /dev/sda ?
[06:13] <willrjmarshall> (tis /dev/sda the problem is on, of course)
[06:13] <alitadeposca> i'm telling you.. it happened...
[06:13] <heguru> willrjmarshall: yes
[06:13] <wastrel> chalcedony: do you have synaptic open?  or another instance of apt-get running?
[06:13] <heguru> willrjmarshall: actually fsck -f /dev/sdaX (where X is your parition number)
[06:14] <willrjmarshall> heguru: The root partition, I presume?
[06:14] <chalcedony> wastel.. apt-get mutt
[06:14] <emeriste> ~$ uptime
[06:14] <emeriste>  00:12:40 up 49 days,  8:55,  3 users,  load average: 1.65, 1.84, 1.49
[06:14] <alitadeposca> and since i'm not skillful with the term mode.... i reinstalled the whole thing...
[06:14] <willrjmarshall> chalcedony: apt-get install mutt, you mean?
[06:14] <wastrel> chalcedony: you can only do one at a time
[06:14] <bruenig> acee1234, tar xf whatever.tar.gz
[06:14] <heguru> willrjmarshall: root partition is usually the first partition i.e. /dev/sda1
[06:14] <vocx> alitadeposca, "i couldn't because there was not a single megabyte for system use"  what does this mean? Do you actually know how computers work?
[06:14] <MEDP> wastrel:wat would be a good alternative to limewire thats not frostwire?
[06:14] <alitadeposca> yes
[06:15] <willrjmarshall> heguru: It is. I set up the partitions ;)
[06:15] <vocx> alitadeposca, how big is the hard drive? How big the partitions?
[06:15] <alitadeposca> i had a 5gb partition with / mountpoint
[06:15] <wastrel> MEDP:  not sure, i don't use either one of those.  i have gtk-gnutella for gnutella network but it's not super pretty or user friendly.
[06:15] <chalcedony> willrjmarshall  yes but i had a problem and can't copy notes to vim /
[06:15] <willrjmarshall> Ok. Fsck appears to be *doing* something now, so I'll leabe it running ;)
[06:15] <alitadeposca> and that's the one that got filled up
[06:16] <alitadeposca> it's an 80gb disk with both vista and ubuntu running
[06:16] <chalcedony> HOW Do i get this: ? No configuration - IF YOU WANT THE INSTALL TO LEAVE YOUR CONFIG ALONE,    
[06:16] <chalcedony>   CHOOSE THIS OPTION.
[06:16] <acee1234> bruenig worked great, i guess terminal>gui
[06:16] <MEDP> wastrel:like can it download music nd stuff?
[06:16] <bruenig> acee1234, indeed
[06:16] <tsukasa> does anyone have stepmania installed? i need to see a setting in preferences.ini that mine isnt setting
[06:16] <willrjmarshall> heguru: It passed 5 checks and finished without errors?
[06:16] <acee1234> bruenig thank you
[06:16] <heguru> willrjmarshall: ok so not the hard disk error
[06:16] <lwizardl> can someone help me with installing a pvr-150 and ivtv
[06:17] <willrjmarshall> heguru: Possibly a dead kernel?
[06:17] <__sork> willrjmarshall: what is the error msg again?
[06:17] <vocx> bruenig, wow that was impressive. Someone admitting terminal > gui thanks to you.
[06:17] <lwizardl> when i do mplayer /dev/video0 I get a video of a mixed interlaced looking video
[06:17] <wastrel> MEDP: i think you'll want to install frostwire :]   gtk-gnutella works but it's not user-friendly at al
[06:17] <wastrel> l
[06:17] <bruenig> vocx, they will all realize soon enough
[06:17] <heguru> willrjmarshall: not likely, can you tell me the error messagea again
[06:18] <chalcedony> How do I select in Postfix Configuration ?
[06:18] <MEDP> wastrel:it said cannot satisfy all requirements or sumthin but ill try again
[06:18] <kahrytan> lwizardl, try #mythtv?
[06:18] <lwizardl> k
[06:18] <kahrytan> or whereve the heck they are
[06:18] <buibui> Hello could someone point me in the right direction to instructions to setup samba so i can browse computers networked as xp workgroups?
[06:18] <vocx> alitadeposca, standard ubuntu install is 3 GB. If you want to install all sorts of things and do notclean up the cache, I suggest 15 or 20 GB.
[06:18] <IdleOne> !samba | buibui
[06:18] <ubotu> buibui: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[06:19] <willrjmarshall> __sork , heguru: There isn't really one. When I boot in safe mode it throws some stuff at me too fast to read, then appears to  display some logs about various devices, then prints a few lines similar to "attached SCSI generic sg5 type 0", then hangs, then drops into initramfs
[06:19] <verb3k> sometimes I use ubotu to help myself ....it has a wealth of good links :)
[06:20] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: can you try ctrl+alt+f2 or f3 or f4 and see if there are boot messages there?
[06:20] <MEDP> wastrel:frostwire says its got a broken cache, idk wat that means

[06:25] <MEDP> wastrel:how do i do the multiverse thing?
[06:25] <wastrel> chalcedony: hrm it's asking a lot of quesions ?   it should really only ask yes or no if it's ok to install
[06:25] <InSaNiTyIG> i installed wine and then AIM on feisty fawn. i cant run the program because it doesnt recognize the files. i try to install aim and it says cant find the .dll
[06:25] <wastrel> chalcedony: those options are probably dependencies
[06:25] <wastrel> ?
[06:25] <vocx> MEDP, a lot of the issues people have with Linux are because of younger people who think themselves as hackers. So try to understand when we, older guys, don't have the patience to walkthrough others. Happy Ubunting.
[06:25] <wastrel> MEDP: /msg ubotu multiverse
[06:25] <rathel> I've installed ubuntu livecd on a computer that I have been connecting to through SSH.. how would I remove gnome/x to save some space?

[06:26] <tkd> hey anyone know of a good ubnuntu 101 channel in here?
[06:26] <__sork> InSaNiTyIG: the newest version of AIM?
[06:26] <InSaNiTyIG> the newest 5.* version
[06:27] <InSaNiTyIG> i dont like the new triton version
[06:27] <wastrel> chalcedony: it's asking "do you want to install all of this stuff Y/n"  right?
[06:27] <IcemanV9> InSaNiTyIG: why not install pidgin (formerly gaim)?
[06:27] <verb3k> tkd, what's that?
[06:27] <InSaNiTyIG> __sork: 5.9.something
[06:27] <wastrel> (maybe pastebin it chalcedony ... )
[06:27] <chalcedony> wastrel no .. if it were i'd say yes.. it's asking choices
[06:27] <InSaNiTyIG> IcemanV9: i used aim as a test in wine
[06:27] <chalcedony> wastrel: if i can get paste working ill try that
[06:27] <tkd> verb3k i dunno, this place is over my head
[06:27] <IcemanV9> InSaNiTyIG: ah. gotcha. =)
[06:27] <buttercups> InSaNiTyIG: only aim I have ever gotten to work In wine was version 4.3
[06:28] <tkd> i need a dumbed down channel so i can lurk and learn
[06:28] <verb3k> tkd, if you have a problem tell us and we will try our best
[06:28] <InSaNiTyIG> buttercups: do you know why i cant uninstall it?
[06:28] <verb3k> tkd, hmm
[06:28] <willrjmarshall> bulmer: Does that help much?
[06:28] <tkd> no you guys are great, everytime i have a problem i get help,
[06:29] <__sork> InSaNiTyIG: if your missing a single .dll you might be able to find it out on the internet and drop it into the system32 folder, but I havn't tried the newest version
[06:29] <wastrel> chalcedony:  are you using aptitude or apt-get ?
[06:29] <tkd> its just when i lurk here and watch, i dont have a clue, so i hoped there was a newbie channel
[06:29] <verb3k> tkd, in fact the more problems you face and solve the more you learn ..so keep messing with the system :)
[06:29] <wastrel> aptitude sometimes asks about different choices
[06:29] <__sork> i just decided pidgin would have to do
[06:29] <InSaNiTyIG> __sork: it says it cant find a dll in the aim folder, but i checked, and its there
[06:29] <InSaNiTyIG> everythings there
[06:30] <andrew____> hello i would like to change the icon associated with the mp3 files on my computer.  how can i go about this?
[06:30] <MEDP> wastrel:cold i make a program that runs sudo dpkg --configure -a?
[06:30] <MEDP> wastrel:could*
[06:31] <buttercups> InSaNiTyIG, you mean to uninstall a wine program? just type "uninstaller" in a terminal window
[06:31] <wastrel> MEDP:  do you want an icon to click or a shorter command to type?
[06:31] <__sork> InSaNiTyIG: I prob. can't help much then, maybe those winehq folks would know
[06:31] <InSaNiTyIG> buttercups: i did that. thats where the problem lies
[06:31] <MEDP> wastrel:icon, cuz i need to get into programming outside of c# lol
[06:31] <verb3k> andrew__,  interesting question...I will wait for the answer too
[06:32] <chalcedony> wastrel: apt-get   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38319/
[06:32] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: nope..i guess you have to look into /var/log/messages if there are any logs there to give you a hint
[06:32] <Comedy--> efnet.net
[06:32] <willrjmarshall> bulmer: From the live CD, I guess?
[06:32] <Ste-Foy> I love Live_CD
[06:33] <iceslice> anyone have experience solving the super slow samba issues?
[06:33] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: no not from liveCD..i thought you were booting up from your hd?
[06:33] <PogueMcManus> is there a program that will burn .iso and .uif files on linux
[06:33] <bulmer> PogueMcManus: k3b will
[06:33] <bulmer> at least .iso
[06:33] <verb3k> iceslice, state your problem and someone may help you
[06:33] <InSaNiTyIG> so what can i do to get the uninstalled to recognize the files are there
[06:33] <wastrel> MEDP: you can right-click on the desktop and choose add launcher
[06:34] <iceslice> I've got ubuntu feisty using smbmount to mount a share on my windows vista drive and its insanely slow
[06:34] <willrjmarshall> bulmer: I can't, really. That's the problem. I wasn't aware initrams had a text editor?
[06:34] <iceslice> forums have lots of complaints, but no solutions
[06:34] <InSaNiTyIG> the error i get is "cannot find file: blahblah\AIM\something.dll: module not found"
[06:34] <MEDP> wastrel:o ok thanx :)
[06:34] <zhanx> so i got this great big plasma screen, and its hooked to my laptop... it supports a lot more resolutions than my video card.. is there a work around or just while till i get my desktop built
[06:34] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: i dont know that it does have an editor
[06:34] <wastrel> MEDP: name, whatever.   command :   gksudo 'dpkg --configure -a'
[06:35] <wastrel> MEDP: exactly like that   with   gksudo instead of sudo   and '  (single quotes)  around the rest of the command
[06:35] <bluebanana>  friends, is Centronics _exactly_ synonymous for IEEE 1284 Type B?
[06:36] <verb3k> iceslice, same here , but I guess as soon as the folder opens you won't have that "slowness" issue
[06:36] <tkd> whats gksudo ????
[06:36] <wastrel> tkd: gui version of sudo
[06:36] <chalcedony> tkd: register your nick so you can see msg?
[06:36] <bulmer> bluebanana: centronics is used to be synonymous with parallel printer port
[06:36] <wastrel> you get the pop-up window for a password
[06:36] <verb3k> !gksudo | tkd
[06:36] <ubotu> tkd: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[06:36] <tkd> wastrel really?
[06:36] <wastrel> tkd: for use with gui programs
[06:37] <rrbiz> kwtm: about the cpu scaling it required cpufrequtils to do the scaling automatically, just fyi :)
[06:37] <willrjmarshall> bulmer: Interesting. I can't mount /dev/sda1 (the broken partition), as there is an error with the superblock. But....fsck doesn't see any errors?
[06:37] <bluebanana> bulmer, USED TO? Not anymore?
[06:37] <iceslice> I have no issues with speeds using ftp or 'get' under smbclient, but when I mount the drive it pulls like 40k/second
[06:37] <bulmer> bluebanana: i think it still is, ask around who has been around
[06:37] <chalcedony> willrjmarshall  were you able to see what i pasted and maybe suggest how to make a choice?
[06:37] <MEDP> wastrel:yay :-D
[06:37] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: are you booted off the liveCD?
[06:37] <acee1234> how can i get permission to write to root directory
[06:37] <tkd> wastrel i am checking it out
[06:37] <chalcedony> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38319/
[06:37] <MEDP> wastrel:it worked
[06:38] <willrjmarshall> bulmer: Atm. yes
[06:38] <willrjmarshall> chalcedony: Not that I saw. Did I miss it?
[06:38] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: try  chroot /
[06:38] <verb3k> iceslice, maybe some professionals answer you here , I really don't know ( don't use it much)
[06:38] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: then fsck /dev/sda1
[06:38] <tkd> !gksudo
[06:38] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[06:39] <wastrel> iceslice: try #samba :]

[06:39] <YBH_1> http://static.crooksandliars.com/2007/09/peace-kitten.png
[06:39] <MEDP> wastrel:ive been installin frostwire for a while, its stuck on sun-java5-bin
[06:39] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: then wait til fsck is finished, or respond to the questions it is asking?
[06:39] <verb3k> YBH_1, how is that related to ubuntu?
[06:40] <chalcedony> willrjmarshall http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38319/
[06:40] <willrjmarshall> bulmer: It finishes, reports no errors
[06:40] <chalcedony> i need to select "No Configuration" i think..  i had mutt before and it worked
[06:40] <chalcedony> well
[06:40] <chalcedony> almost worked
[06:41] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: then what do you want to do next? install?
[06:41] <willrjmarshall> chalcedony: Thanks
[06:41] <willrjmarshall> bulmer: Boot off the partition I just fscked
[06:41] <willrjmarshall> But I can't even mount it
[06:41] <willrjmarshall> let alone boot it
[06:41] <chalcedony> willrjmarshall thank you !
[06:41] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: but have you installed ubuntu on that partition yet?
[06:42] <willrjmarshall> bulmer: Yes. It was working fine, until the power cut out when it was booting
[06:42] <wastrel> MEDP: i think it has to download those from a 3rd party site
[06:42] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: now you are chroot to / , can you mount that partition manually?
[06:42] <willrjmarshall> chalcedony: I honestly have no idea. What are you wanting to know?
[06:42] <MEDP> wastrel:so should i install the java jre first
[06:43] <bulmer> MEDP: yes install java jre first
[06:43] <acee1234> how can i get access to modify a folder's contents not a file's contents in root
[06:44] <Selsi> anyone have a good resource for recovering partition tables? I just fried mine and I'm really worried about following another botched set of instructions that might compromise my data =(
[06:44] <MEDP> wastrel:(12:04:11 AM) vocx: wastrel, no! he'll type the smiley as part of the comma
[06:44] <MEDP> XD
[06:44] <chalcedony> willrjmarshall i'm trying to apt-get install mutt.. it gave me this window.. i have no idea how to say yes or no or anyting at all
[06:44] <nickrud> acee1234: a folder outside of your home area? If yes, you should use the terminal and sudo
[06:44] <acee1234> nickrud i dont know ho
[06:44] <wastrel> chalcedony: ah that's postfix configuration.  you need a local mail server for sending mail
[06:44] <MEDP> wastrel:sry it got cut off, it was command
[06:44] <verb3k> acee1234, you can launch nautilus with root privileges :  sudo nautilus
[06:45] <willrjmarshall> chalcedony: hang on\
[06:45] <wastrel> chalcedony: you should choose "Internet site using smarthost"
[06:45] <nickrud> acee1234: what is it you're trying to change? And, never ever use sudo with nautilus, use gksudo if you must
[06:45] <wastrel> (most likely)
[06:45] <willrjmarshall> bulmer: Nope. "Can't read superblock"
[06:45] <chalcedony> um guys we have our own mail server here

[06:45] <rafaelscj> does anyone know how to bind a key?
[06:45] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: and it gives you no error when you did an fsck? are you sure you are fsck'ing the correct partition?
[06:45] <chalcedony> wastrel: it's running on the mail server
[06:46] <wastrel> chalcedony: all it will do is send mail from mutt to your main mail server (the "smarthost")
[06:46] <nickrud> rafaelscj: in gnome, using metacity?
[06:46] <stonebear> Best Torrent App supported by ubuntu = ?
[06:46] <chalcedony> mutt is on my box
[06:46] <acee1234> nickrud/verb3k i hear many say never ever use sudo, y not
[06:46] <willrjmarshall> "fsck /dev/sda1" and "mount /dev/sda1 /mountpoint"
[06:46] <wastrel> chalcedony: right, your box needs postfix to move the mail from your box to your mail server
[06:46] <Gregord> Azureus
[06:46] <jetscreamer> willrjmarshall: try the livecd
[06:46] <chalcedony> maybe mutt should wait until i catch my son?? but then i won't have email ?
[06:46] <bullgard4> The command env will print all environment variables. Is there a file that contains all environment variables?
[06:46] <rafaelscj> nickrud, can I bind a keyboard's key with metacity?
[06:46] <Selsi> so anyone know anything about recovering partition tables? =(
[06:46] <willrjmarshall> jetscreamer: I'm using the liveCD ;)
[06:47] <riotkittie> wpa_supplicant is the root of all evil. and ndiswrapper killed my dog. as an aside, i hate wireless under linux. hate hate hate hate hate. <cough>
[06:47] <wastrel> chalcedony: mutt is a great client but adheres to the "unix philosophy" of one tool/one job.  in this case, mutt only reads mail.  it can't send mail.  it gives the messages to postfix to send
[06:47] <nickrud> acee1234: with graphical programs, sudo can cause you to write configuration files with root permissions, preventing you from changing them with your normal permissions. Broken things happen then
[06:47] <jetscreamer> ndiswrapper worked flawlessly the first time and everytime, for me
[06:47] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: you are not on liveCD anymore once you did what I suggested, ie chroot /
[06:47] <acee1234> nickrud ah
[06:47] <willrjmarshall> Ah. Try running fsck from the LiveCD again?
[06:47] <chalcedony> wastrel: i see (guess i learn something new.. i always sent mail with mutt.. i thought/
[06:47] <wastrel> chalcedony: so you need "internet site with smarthost"
[06:47] <nickrud> rafaelscj: gconf-editor , navigate to apps/metacity/keybindings  and keycommands
[06:47] <kenjy_> guys witch version of ubuntu should work better in a celeron (600mhz), 512mb of ram and 20gb of hd, kubuntu 6.6 or kubuntu 7.0.4?
[06:48] <nickrud> rafaelscj: set the command in one, and the keybinding in the other
[06:48] <chalcedony> wastrel: how do i pick ANYTHING?
[06:48] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: no, run the fsck once you have chroot to /
[06:48] <verb3k> acee1234, if the folder cannot be modified except by root, how are you going to change it? so use root but be careful not to break your system ....because using root gives you the freedom to even destroy your system :) that's why they warn you about it
[06:48] <jetscreamer> kenjy_: it's the gnome/kde you want to not use if you can.... they will work, but are bloated pigs
[06:49] <wastrel> chalcedony: tab down to the "OK" box and hit space, then the next screen will give you the list of choices (from memory ... i think this is how it works )
[06:49] <willrjmarshall> bulmer: I've done that already. Fsck from ubuntu@ubuntu or fsck after chroot / both get the same results - namely nothing
[06:49] <chalcedony> wastrel: wow ok maybe
[06:49] <kenjy_> jetscreamer: I need gnome or kde because its for my sister
[06:49] <rafaelscj> nickrud, I would like to change the layout of a key
[06:49] <nickrud> rafaelscj: layout?
[06:49] <chalcedony>  No configuration             
[06:49] <chalcedony>                            Internet Site                
[06:49] <chalcedony>                            Internet with smarthost      
[06:49] <chalcedony>                            Satellite system             
[06:49] <chalcedony>                            Local only
[06:49] <wastrel> chalcedony: don't paste ;] 
[06:49] <jetscreamer> kenjy_: nothing wrong with icewm for windows-ish-ness looks
[06:50] <nickrud> acee1234: for a quick tutorial on using the command line, go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[06:50] <jetscreamer> and functionality
[06:50] <chalcedony> wastrel: if i do no configuration won't it use whatever it had?
[06:50] <kenjy_> jetscreamer: the gnome 2.14 (ubuntu 6.6) its faster than gnome 2.18 (ubuntu 7.0.4)
[06:50] <rafaelscj> nickrud, I can't type "~" over "a" or "o"
[06:50] <bulmer> willrjmarshall: but you are getting a cant read a superblock error at boot?
[06:50] <kenjy_> jetscreamer: nothing wrong with icewm or fluxbox but she want gnome or kde
[06:50] <nickrud> rafaelscj: ah, go to system->prefs->keyboard, you should be able to select a layout you like
[06:50] <jetscreamer> i'd go kde if it was me but that's me
[06:51] <alexbobp> I have a laptop with a wireless interface, and I need to temporarily provide internet access to a desktop using an ethernet cable.  I can ssh between them if I just connect them, but can't access the Internet.  What's the best way to do this?  I think I need either a way to make the laptop into a DHCP server, or a way to make the desktop use a socks proxy.
[06:51] <tkd>  verb 3k thanks a ton , sudo nautilus is exactly the command i needed to know
[06:51] <wastrel> chalcedony:  if you had mutt working before, why do you suddenly need to reinstall it?
[06:51] <willrjmarshall> bulmer: I don't know. The boot sequence throws me text way too fast to read. Not from what I can see at the end, but that seems to be a log, not errors
[06:51] <jetscreamer> i prefer gnome personally, but kde seems like .1 less of a hog
[06:51] <kenjy_> jetscreamer: its the ubuntu 6.6 (LTS) a good choice or it os to old (is it obsolet or it have support for a few years more)
[06:51] <chalcedony> wastrel: new compuer with my data in it
[06:51] <rafaelscj> nickrud, I went there and choose all possible layouts (I think)
[06:51] <kenjy_> ?
[06:51] <jetscreamer> kenjy_: i never ran it can't say
[06:51] <wastrel> chalcedony: choose "internet site with smarthost"
[06:51] <chalcedony> wastrel: ok
[06:51] <kenjy_> jetscreamer: tnks
[06:51] <wastrel> alexbobp: firestarter will let you share the connection
[06:51] <rafaelscj> nickrud, is there a way to bind a key?
[06:51] <kenjy_> guys can some one else help me ?
[06:52] <verb3k> tkd, no problem , I didn't know you were watching :)
[06:52] <nickrud> rafaelscj: what language do you want to have supported?
[06:52] <tkd> verb3k actually i needed to know that command hours ago, but i am glad to know it now
[06:52] <alexbobp> wastrel: thanks, I'm installing firestarter
[06:52] <wastrel> kenjy_: use the latest stable release (currently 7.04, feisty) unless you really need the LTS option (usually for servers)
[06:52] <nickrud> rafaelscj: and yes, you can use xmodmap to bind a key for that kind of thing, but it's not for the faint of heart
[06:52] <verb3k> tkd, so there really is a benefit of being hooked to this channel :)
[06:52] <tkd> yup
[06:53] <kenjy_> wastrel: how long the LTS version its going to be supported?
[06:53] <nickrud> !gksudo
[06:53] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[06:53] <wastrel> kenjy_: consider xubuntu  good gui but less bloaty than gnome or KDE
[06:53] <rafaelscj> nickrud, my keyboard is Spanish (with ). But my language is portuguese-br
[06:53] <wastrel> !lts
[06:53] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[06:53] <Jamison_> hey, someone, need help here
[06:53] <kenjy_> wastrel: she want gnome or kde xD
[06:53] <tkd> verb3k like i said, every question i have had has been answered here so far
[06:53] <buibui> hello i'm trying to network with windows workgroups, reading doco, it asks me "The name of the share is sharename." What is a sharename ??
[06:53] <MeRodent> !ask | jamison
[06:53] <ubotu> jamison: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:53] <KurtKraut> rafaelscj: aren't you able to set it to pt-br thru gnome ?
[06:53] <Jamison_> i need to know how to mount a floppy drive
[06:54] <wastrel> Jamison_: it should mount automatically
[06:54] <xiaujuin_> juin
[06:54] <Jamison_> it hasnt
[06:54] <buibui> Anyone?
[06:54] <Selsi> Can you guys hear me?  Wondering if anyone has good resources on partition table recovery.
[06:54] <rafaelscj> KurtKraut, yes, but it still don't work. I choose the default brazilian's layout (ABNT2)
[06:54] <jamison> hi Jamison
[06:54] <riotkittie> wpa_supplicant also makes me crashy. which would be a bummer, if i could use it to connect
[06:54] <kenjy_> wastrel the ubuntu 6.6 its going to be supported for a few years more?
[06:54] <ticked> i like this place, even though i got yelled at for runnin envy LOL
[06:54] <nickrud> rafaelscj: then there should be a method for writing that without modification; have you tried adding the brazilian or portuguese layouts?
[06:54] <wastrel> kenjy_: yes
[06:54] <Sorcererbob> hey everyone
[06:55] <kenjy_> wastrel ... how more? xD
[06:55] <MeRodent> ticked, you should see what happens to people who suggest automatix
[06:55] <riotkittie> yes, we can hear you, Selsi. no, we dont have good resources on partitionn table recovery, hence our silence
[06:55] <buibui> i'm trying to network with windows workgroups, reading doco, it asks me "The name of the share is sharename." What is a sharename ??
[06:55] <verb3k> tkd, you can make a panel or desktop icon to launch the nautilus with root privileges directly ( or you can press alt+F2 and enter gksudo nautilus)
[06:55] <nickrud> rafaelscj: arg I read back and see you have
[06:55] <D4N`> sup
[06:55] <ticked> MeRodent LOL
[06:55] <Jamison_> hey, my floppy says its write only and cant mount
[06:55] <rafaelscj> nickrud, I choose ABNT2 (default for brazilians), then Spain
[06:56] <Selsi> Alright, just making sure since sometimes IRC channels dont let you have voice, and I wasnt sure how pidgin reports message rejects
[06:56] <riotkittie> what happened to your partition table?
[06:56] <Jamison_> anyone able to help?
[06:56] <nickrud> rafaelscj: I use a stock ascii keyboard so I've never learned anything but the most rudimentary internationalization stuff. Have you tried asking on #ubuntu-br ?
[06:56] <rafaelscj> nickrud, how can I start xmodmap?
[06:57] <chalcedony> wastrel: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38323/
[06:57] <buibui> Someone??? "The name of the share is sharename." What is a SHARENAME???
[06:57] <Selsi> It is completely deleted, i believe the command i ran deleted the first 512 (sectors?) of the disk
[06:57] <kenjy_> the repos for ubuntu LTS are broken?
[06:57] <jamison> Jamison_: search google
[06:57] <rafaelscj> nickrud, yes, but they're using ABNT2 keyboards
[06:57] <riotkittie> buibui: a sharename is ... the name... of... the... share
[06:57] <buibui> What is that in windows context ?
[06:57] <n-iCe> how do I open a terminal with keys?
[06:57] <verb3k> kenjy_, what do you get?
[06:57] <buibui> Not the computer name... the name of a folder???
[06:57] <kenjy_> its a question
[06:58] <riotkittie> i don't know. i don't speak windows.   yea, the name of the folder
[06:58] <riotkittie> what are you doing - samba?
[06:58] <ticked> n-ice you mean a keyboard shortcut?
[06:58] <wastrel> chalcedony: exactly as it says.  use the part of your email address following the @ sign
[06:58] <n-iCe> ticked yeeeeees
[06:58] <buibui> yeh samba
[06:58] <nickrud> rafaelscj: here's a link that can get you started: http://web.mit.edu/answers/xwindows/xwindows_xmodmap.html  .
[06:58] <kenjy_> verb3k: its a question, the repos for ubuntu 4.10 are broken, but what about the 6.6?
[06:58] <n-iCe> alt + f12 ?
[06:58] <riotkittie> ahh. good luck.
[06:58] <ticked> n-ice....damn good question LOL
[06:58] <buibui> Can i Just mount all the folders shared in the workgroup computer??
[06:58] <chalcedony> (((((((( n-iCe )))))))))))))))
[06:58] <n-iCe> OMG
[06:58] <wastrel> chalcedony: it might be wise to have your mail admin examine your postfix config once we're done with this :] 
[06:58] <n-iCe> chalcedony =***********************************************************************
[06:58] <rafaelscj> nickrud, thanks I will try asking again at ubuntu-br
[06:58] <verb3k> kenjy_, They shoudln't but I don't know :)
[06:59] <ticked> n-iCe i think i can get that one...hang on lemme check
[06:59] <n-iCe> ticked looooooooool
[06:59] <riotkittie> i'm not sure. i only messed with samba once, and  that was only to mount a single folder
[06:59] <chalcedony> wastrel: i keep wondering if he's gone to bed .. it's 1 am though/
[06:59] <buibui> ok. hmmm.
[06:59] <chalcedony> well.. earlier in texas
[06:59] <rafaelscj> nickrud, how can I use/start xmodmap?
[06:59] <alexbobp> I'm having trouble with firestarter.  I set it up on eth1 (wireless) with sharing on eth0 (ethernet).  It says eth0 is not ready.  What do I need to do to prepare it?
[06:59] <rafaelscj> nickrud, that llink?
[06:59] <jamison> after a while of inactivity my usb wireless mouse turns off. it didn't used to do this in xp. i unplug/replug but it doesn't come on again--any ideas other than restarting?
[06:59] <rafaelscj> nickrud, ah okay
[06:59] <rafaelscj> nickrud, thanks
[06:59] <ticked> n-iCe seems to be disabled by default
[07:00] <nickrud> rafaelscj: you have to identify your key, figure out what X calls the character you want, then modify :)
[07:00] <n-iCe> ticked no i'm sure that it exist
[07:00] <n-iCe> I just don't remember it
[07:01] <wastrel> chalcedony: upon further reflection you may have been better off choosing "satellite system" rather than "internet site with smarthost" but it's a minor quibble :] 
[07:01] <ticked> n-Ice go into system->keyboard shortcuts and assign it
[07:01] <rafaelscj> nickrud, so, first I should use gnome-character-map
[07:01] <xIke> anyone know what would make widgets not show up in certain windows?  the themes window, for example
[07:01] <n-iCe> ticked thank you
[07:01] <ticked> system-> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts
[07:01] <n-iCe> Did you try alt + f12 ?
[07:01] <chalcedony> wastrel: i'm still trying to figure out how it handles my two email addresses . ..
[07:02] <ticked> woo hoo
[07:02] <nickrud> rafaelscj: yes. But honestly, those web pages are going to know more than I do.  googling xmodmap will pull up things that will go past me in about one minute
[07:02] <chalcedony> wastrel: there are two domains that both feed ..
[07:02] <wastrel> chalcedony: that's in the mutt config.  use the email address most closely associated iwth your mail server
[07:02] <andrew____> i would like to change the icon associated with mp3 files on my system.  does anyone know how to do this?
[07:02] <n-iCe> ticked worked?!
[07:02] <CorpseFeeder> Anyone know how to get the text to show up on that planet penguin/extreme Tux racer thingy:? I just get lots of short horizontal lines where there should be text....
[07:03] <wastrel> chalcedony: probably either will do :] 
[07:03] <_emet_> !icons
[07:03] <ubotu> Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)
[07:03] <_emet_> hmm
[07:03] <verb3k> n-iCe, alt+f2 then type gnome-terminal
[07:03] <wastrel> chalcedony: talk to your mail admin on monday though ;] 
[07:03] <_emet_> CorpseFeeder: what video card
[07:04] <chalcedony> ok
[07:04] <_emet_> type this "lspci | grep -i video" in a terminal
[07:04] <CorpseFeeder> _emet_: ATI Radeon Mobility 9000....
[07:04] <_emet_> k
[07:04] <chalcedony> ill go see how he spells that .. if either will do i know how to spell the one i always use
[07:04] <_emet_> CorpseFeeder: type this in a terminal: glxinfo | grep direct
[07:05] <_emet_> tell me what the output is
[07:05] <CorpseFeeder> direct rendering yes
[07:05] <jimmyww> does anyone know where i can find somescreen shots of 7.10
[07:05] <CorpseFeeder> _emet_: direct rendering : yes
[07:06] <jimmyww> ?
[07:06] <ticked> verb3k's way works better
[07:06] <_emet_> CorpseFeeder: type this now: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i fgl
[07:07] <jimmyww> does anyone know where i can find screenshots of 7.10
[07:07] <_emet_> what is the output
[07:07] <chalcedony> wastrel: gosh this gets involved.. maybe i could copy some of this stuff from my husband's box are you SURE we have to set all this?
[07:07] <MeRodent> !gutsy | jimmyww
[07:07] <ubotu> jimmyww: 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
[07:07] <jimmyww> thx
[07:07] <rafaelscj> nickrud, I could do that in Ubuntu 6.06
[07:08] <CorpseFeeder> _emet_:  nothing happened
[07:08] <_emet_> ok
[07:08] <ticked> i am terrified of gutsy coming out, i am gonna wanna upgrade but i am sure i will kill what ever i do have working
[07:08] <CorpseFeeder> _emet_: no output at all...
[07:08] <nickrud> rafaelscj: like I said, I know little about internationalization. If there's a shortcut, I don't know it
[07:09] <MeRodent> ticked, doesn't worry me. I don't need gutsy to get myself into that state. :P
[07:09] <verb3k> ticked, why not try the liveCD first , you maybe surprised to see your hardware working
[07:09] <rafaelscj> nickrud, okay, sorry, I will bootup with ubuntu 6.06 live CD now
[07:09] <J-23> Hello!
[07:09] <J-23> How I can install Ubuntu without CD or loopmounting virtual partitions?
[07:09] <verb3k> ticked, or you can wait for 8.04
[07:10] <rafaelscj> J-23, pen drive?
[07:10] <voidmage> my sysadmin is being a bitch and won't let me on the network until i do a virus scan.
[07:10] <J-23> I have old computer, it can't boot from USB
[07:10] <ticked> verb3k I am worried about that too, i finally got everything almost set up how i like it, got compiz-confusion and emerald how i like it, and my son told me soon as i got it close i will kill it
[07:10] <wastrel> chalcedony: it does indeed get involved.    if you just want to read mail right now, and not send mail , you can pick whatever choices you want and end up with a possibly misconfigured local email system (can't send mail)  then have your husband fix it tomorrow :] 
[07:10] <ticked> he has so much faith in me
[07:10] <InSaNiTyIG> im trying to uninstall AIM i installed with wine to test it. i get the error: "cannot load file C:\Program Files\AIM\aimapi.dll: module not loaded" i checked the folder and the .dll is there. what do i do???
[07:10] <_emet_> type this now: wget http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envy_0.9.7-0ubuntu11_all.deb; dpkg -i envy_0.9.7-0ubuntu11_all.deb; rm envy_0.9.7-0ubuntu11_all.deb
[07:10] <voidmage> my sysadmin is being a bitch and won't let me on the network until i do a virus scan. How can I get the results he's looking for, when the two options are either "do a virus scan or reformat"?
[07:10] <wastrel> chalcedony: that will get you past the dependencies, get mutt installed and you'll be able to read your mail (hopefully... :)
[07:11] <wastrel> !virus
[07:11] <ubotu> A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[07:11] <chalcedony> not being able to reply won't help much. i guess i could paste to yahoo if pasting works better than 30% of the time
[07:11] <_emet_> then type: sudo apt-get install -f
[07:11] <wastrel> chalcedony: basically postfix is what mutt needs to gte mail off your local system.
[07:11] <chalcedony> wasabi: my son moved to texas. he's the mail admin
[07:12] <_emet_> then type: envy -g
[07:12] <verb3k> ticked, I also considered staying with feisty ( feisty is not bad at all) it's very stable and is still supported ...I suggest you don't upgrade and wait for the next LTS release then you may really feel like upgrading
[07:12] <_emet_> and follow the directions in the GUI for installing the ATI driver
[07:12] <voidmage> wastrel: but what can i DO?
[07:12] <wastrel> voidmage: install clamav maybe.
[07:12] <wastrel> how to install without network access is an excercise left up to the reader ;] 
[07:12] <voidmage> I've already tried telling him that linux doesn't get viruses, but he responded "Well, either find a way to scan or reformat"
[07:12] <voidmage> x.x
[07:13] <J-23> What means "3GB or more of spare hard drive space to install Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, OpenSuse, Arch Linux, or Debian in" on UNetbootin site?
[07:13] <chalcedony> wastrel:  i can go see if my husband can find where these settings are on his box, where should i look in there to find the info?
[07:13] <ticked> verb3k good advice, but sure as shootin' there will be something cool in the next release that i am sure to wanna check out LOL
[07:13] <wastrel> chalcedony: /etc/posfix/
[07:13] <wastrel> chalcedony: does he use mutt as well?
[07:13] <J-23> I need to have other Linux distribution before I install Ubuntu with UNetbootin?
[07:13] <Selsi> ugh so i guess partition tables deleted = bad for data =(
[07:13] <chalcedony> wastrel: the mail server has mutt or so .. he uses thunderbird but all of us can bring up mutt
[07:13] <_emet_> J-23: what is UNetbootin ?
[07:14] <MeRodent> voidmage, ask him how to prove you've done a virus scan
[07:14] <wastrel> voidmage: make your boss yell at his boss :] 
[07:14] <verb3k> ticked, what will be good in gutsy will be better in 8.04  :)
[07:14] <wastrel> k
[07:14] <chalcedony> that's why i was betting that the settings were there

[07:17] <okuser> Hi. I just upgraded to Gutsy, and when my user logs in, nothing happens. It's just an entirely-brownish screen. If my user runs startx, he's greeted with the X11 checkboard pattern, and the X mouse cursor, and nothing happens. Do you know what file must be present for gnome to start?

[07:28] <nickrud> what, no wireless again?
[07:28] <Elda> Hello
[07:29] <KurtKraut> Does anyone now anything better than zenity to make a shellscript interacting with user thru GUI ?
[07:29] <Superkuh> What does "defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1" mean at the end of an fstab entry?
[07:29] <Superkuh> Specifically the 0 1, I guess.
[07:29] <nickrud> that's a very old technique for doing backups with dump
[07:30] <verb3k> KurtKraut, I asked the very same Q at #bash and they said "No"....so if you want a decent interaction between scripts and GUIs I suggest using Python
[07:30] <riotkittie> oh my wireless has been going strong for days now. open network, wise. i managed to connect to my private network by knocking it down to WEP a few days ago, for like two minutes. and WPA2 still eludes me :\
[07:30] <ashu> how can i transfer data between my nokia n72 phone and computer with feisty?
[07:30] <verb3k> ashu, with bluetooth?>
[07:30] <verb3k> ashu, with bluetooth?
[07:30] <KurtKraut> verb3k: hmm... I'll stick with bash+zenity then
[07:31] <ashu> verb3k: no via data cable
[07:31] <wastrel> Superkuh: man 5 fstab  :] 
[07:31] <xiaujuin> juin
[07:32] <riotkittie> and i've crashed the two times i've tried using wpa_supplicant. and uh.  i tried ndiswrapper under dapper. that was fun. not.
[07:32] <wastrel> Superkuh: the 0 seems to be a legacy default  and the 1 means it's the root filesystem
[07:32] <ashu> verb3k: any idea?
[07:32] <verb3k> you can plug it and choose mass storage on the menu that appears on the phone's screen . then you will see it represented on the Desktop as a folder ...open it and transfer whatever you like
[07:32] <nickrud> heh. wpa2 worked first time with networkmanager. The only thing I can say nice about it.
[07:32] <verb3k> ashu, you can plug it and choose mass storage on the menu that appears on the phone's screen . then you will see it represented on the Desktop as a folder ...open it and transfer whatever you like
[07:32] <riotkittie> you have no idea how ridiculous it feels to say "oh, i need security. time to boot back into win XP"
[07:32] <Superkuh> wastrel, Yeah, I just figured there'd be a quick fix. I am/was in a hurry. Thank you for taking the time to respond regardless of my rudeness.
[07:33] <ashu> verb3k: the thing is nothing of this sort happens (as should happen with USB devices)
[07:33] <IcemanV9> riotkittie: i let network_manager handles wpa2; it works just fine w/o a problem (in my case anyway).
[07:33] <nickrud> Superkuh: if you leave them off, nothing bad happens
[07:33] <J-23> ...
[07:33] <verb3k> ashu, what is it that doesn't happen
[07:33] <verb3k> ashu, what is it that doesn't happen?
[07:33] <ashu> verb3k: ubuntu doesn't recognise the phone or something
[07:33] <J-23> what was his nick?...
[07:33] <riotkittie> wpa2 works out of the box on my laptop. but thats a 650/750mhz with 256mb ram, and a 12gb hd split between 2 distros and a win OS. and a broken keyboard.
[07:34] <ashu> verb3k: i plug in the phone and nothing happens for ages
[07:34] <Superkuh> nickrud, just dealing with some stupidness involving bad ntfs file structures and ntfs-3g autoconfig barfing on fstab.
[07:34] <nickrud> what more do you need then ;:P
[07:34] <ticked> well all...thanks again, sleep time for ticked cya
[07:34] <jc105> As a side note, network_manager completely sh!t the bed for me.  Always doing a dhclient request regardless of status.
[07:34] <ashu> verb3k: i didn't have any problems with windows
[07:34] <nickrud> Superkuh: ah
[07:35] <verb3k> ok can you please do the following: 1- make sure you plug the usb properly 2- type this command in the terminal : dmesg | tail     3-paste the output here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[07:35] <verb3k> ashu, see above
[07:35] <riotkittie> i'd be using it... if my other half hadn't bought me a desktop. i feel obligated to stick with this :\
[07:35] <ashu> verb3k: ok
[07:35] <ashu> verb3k: wait a minute
[07:35] <verb3k> ashu, ok
[07:36] <riotkittie> indeed it must

[07:40] <verb3k> ashu, when you plug the n72 , something appears on the phone's screen right?
[07:40] <ashu> verb3k: ok i am plugging in n72 then
[07:40] <ashu> verb3k: one min plz
[07:40] <verb3k> ashu, ok
[07:41] <verb3k> ashu, it would have been easier with bluetooth :) ...but no problem ...caable is faster
[07:41] <ashu> verb3k: sorry...my sister has taken the nokia phone :(
[07:41] <verb3k> ashu, heh
[07:41] <darkchr0n0s>  lol
[07:41] <verb3k> ashu, ok
[07:41] <ashu>  verb3k: i hav a desktop without bluetooth
[07:42] <verb3k> ashu, here's what I do
[07:42] <darkchr0n0s> use a bluetooth adapter ?
[07:42] <Elda> Wow that was not fun :>
[07:43] <darkchr0n0s> Elda: what was not fun ?
[07:43] <InSaNiTyIG> i need help...i dont have sound on my laptop anymore. ubuntu recognizes the soundcard. how can i fix this?
[07:43] <verb3k> ashu, first plug my phone to the computer 2-go to my phone and choose "mass storage" 3-a folder  will appear on the Desktop and I can transfer files easily
[07:43] <Elda> Connected to this room wrong and was trying to figure out why everything was quite for about 5 min xD
[07:43] <hagabaka> is there a package for the new GPL oss (open sound system) or will it be packaged in the future?
[07:43] <ashu> verb3k: i have tried that already...
[07:43] <Elda> BUT I managed to fix the sound issues for my Toshiba laptop
[07:43] <rafaelscj> nickrud, I got ""
[07:43] <Elda> WOooooooh \o/
[07:44] <ashu> verb3k: the mass storage thing appears on my phone, but the folder doesn't appear on the desktop
[07:44] <WaltzingAlong> InSaNiTyIG: you can figure out which sound card you have. you can find which config files you need to change to pass the correct parameters for the sound card to work
[07:44] <ashu> verb3k: same for the sony phone
[07:44] <nickrud> rafaelscj: how? I hope to remember for next guy ;)
[07:44] <verb3k> ashu, strange .... it should be recognized by the kernel ...what ubuntu are you using?
[07:44] <Elda> Needed a modified DSDT file since Toshiba were too lazy to make a decent bios :>
[07:44] <ashu> verb3k: feisty
[07:44] <darkchr0n0s> fiesty fawn :S
[07:44] <rafaelscj> nickrud, sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/es
[07:44] <verb3k> ashu, strange ...have you tried using another USB port?
[07:45] <darkchr0n0s> when is 7.10 coming?
[07:45] <darkchr0n0s> waitingggg
[07:45] <InSaNiTyIG> WaltzingAlong: how do i do that
[07:45] <guru> i just installed ubuntu and sound appears to work fine in xmms, kde, etc but in cedega it does not. the tests in cedega report that alsa does not work and oss does. does anyone know what the issue could be?
[07:45] <nickrud> rafaelscj: ok, good. Be sure to backup that file, since the next time you update the package it comes with, it will be overwritten.
[07:45] <WaltzingAlong> darkchr0n0s: 2007 - 10
[07:45] <KurtKraut> rafaelscj: it should'nt be the correct approach but works :P
[07:45] <verb3k> darkchr0n0s, 16 october I think
[07:45] <ashu> verb3k: that usb port is ok, fiesty (sorry, darkchr0n0s) recognises my flash drives
[07:45] <darkchr0n0s> 16 oct :(
[07:45] <darkchr0n0s> 20 days
[07:46] <darkchr0n0s> 20+
[07:46] <darkchr0n0s> debian ?
[07:46] <WaltzingAlong> InSaNiTyIG: commands like lspci or lsusb  see which lists the card ,which card it is
[07:46] <darkchr0n0s> Fedora m/_/
[07:46] <rafaelscj> nickrud, then changing "asciitilde" to "dead_tilde"
[07:46] <KurtKraut> Elda: congrats
[07:47] <WaltzingAlong> InSaNiTyIG: ask google to find web pages on the topic, concerning the specific card and ubuntu; helpful to use such items as a search's query
[07:47] <Elda> Still a novice majorly, but at least I know how to manage it xD
[07:47] <rafaelscj> KurtKraut, is there other way to "dead" a key (it was using ascii)
[07:47] <verb3k> ashu, I had this ramdom problem with my other Desktop ....it sometimes doesn't recogmnize my flash  drive ( that drove me crazy) but suddenly it started operating normally ( I hate things that only work sometimes)
[07:47] <InSaNiTyIG> intel AC'97 audio controller (ICH4)
[07:47] <rafaelscj> ?
[07:47] <nickrud> rafaelscj: don't know if you saw it, but I noted you should backup that file because it will get overwritten on the package containing it's update
[07:47] <Elda> InSaNiTyIG: If alsa drivers do not work look into a DSDT file
[07:47] <Elda> You can test if that works by loading with acpi = off on the boot line :>
[07:47] <dante`> I am trying to reconfigure xorg, but when I try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg nothing happens, am I doing something wrong?
[07:47] <ashu> verb3k: hope it suddenly works for me too! ;)
[07:47] <InSaNiTyIG> where can i get the alsa drivers for it. ive been looking for them
[07:47] <guru> if i cat a file to either /dev/dsp or /dev/audio i hear noise yet in cedega i do not
[07:48] <rafaelscj> nickrud, okay thanks
[07:48] <nickrud> dante`: xserver-xorg , not xorg
[07:48] <verb3k> ashu, you though buy a cheap USB bluetooth dongle
[07:48] <IcemanV9> is there a way to find out WHEN the ubuntu was installed? a specific date?
[07:48] <dante`> o, ty
[07:48] <WaltzingAlong> dante`: yes sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:48] <ashu> verb3k: what's that?
[07:48] <verb3k> ashu, about $10
[07:48] <wastrel> g'night
[07:48] <KurtKraut> rafaelscj: in theory, you should be able to write in a language different from your keyboard settings by making changes in xorg.conf I guess. But as nickrud said, backup this file. It may be overwritten during an upgrade
[07:48] <mssever> IcemanV9: I don't think so
[07:49] <verb3k> ashu, just like a wireless card but smaller than a flash drive :)
[07:49] <KurtKraut> IcemanV9: yes, there is.
[07:49] <KurtKraut> IcemanV9: let me think in a good approach
[07:49] <verb3k> ashu, http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=N3J&q=bluetooth+dongle&btnG=Search+Images
[07:49] <wers> what di I do with pidgin so that whenever my name is said in chat, the text would be red?
[07:50] <nickrud> IcemanV9: I usually look at when the lost+found directory in the root partition was created. not scientific, but most likely correct
[07:50] <rafaelscj> KurtKraut, I read something about xorg.conf. really there would be other way
[07:50] <ashu> verb3k: oh..i don't care anyway....i am getting my first laptop next month and i will have ubuntu in it too, then i can easily transfer data via bluetooth :D
[07:50] <Elda> Ashu... preinstalled?  Or are you having to di it yourself?
[07:50] <Elda> *do it
[07:50] <KurtKraut> rafaelscj: the guys in forum.ubuntubrasil.org were unable to help you ?
[07:50] <ashu> Elda: i will install it myself
[07:50] <verb3k> ashu, I hope you can with cable (it works for me) I don't know what's the prob for you ...but anyway good luck with your new system :)
[07:51] <ashu> Elda: it's coming with vista and i HATE vista
[07:51] <rafaelscj> KurtKraut, I found at other forum.
[07:51] <Elda> Ashu be careful about that.... some companies have been very sloppy for their bios :>
[07:51] <ashu> Elda: i think HP is fine...
[07:52] <xiaujuin> juin
[07:52] <xiaujuin> jakarta
[07:52] <verb3k> ashu, if it comes with vista that means you've paid for the license :)
[07:52] <Elda> Check the forums... there have been issues with sound card for Toshiba, HP, and Dell
[07:52] <Veinor> I've got an HP Pavilion dv9235nr and most of the stuff works.
[07:52] <Elda> Just remember if sound doesnt work out of the box try botting in with acpi=off to test
[07:52] <ashu> verb3k: i am sure ubuntu will work in the lappy...actually this desktop is an assembled one and it has given me loads of trouble in the past too (not mounting CDS, crashing....)
[07:52] <[sistom] > it finally installed!!!
[07:53] <Veinor> the only things that don't are suspend/resume, and the TV tuner (though i never tried it)
[07:53] <verb3k> ashu, I see
[07:53] <dante`> Hmm for some reason my gdm session sets my display resolution higher than 1280x1024
[07:53] <ashu> Elda: hey thanks..i will do that
[07:53] <IcemanV9> ok, thanks. hmm... i'll research some more later (for a specific date when ubuntu was installed)
[07:53] <Elda> Np :)
[07:53] <zorn> anyone know of a good beat maker/drum machine type software?
[07:53] <Elda> I wish someone would have suggested it to me way earlier, lol
[07:53] <dante`> but I have xserver-xorg set to have its maximum size as 1280x1024 - anyone have any ideas?
[07:54] <KurtKraut> IcemanV9: ls -l /var/log/installer/version
[07:54] <rafaelscj> KurtKraut, >>> Option		"XkbLayout"	"es" <<< i think this is the line
[07:54] <Elda> Instead people had me running around trying to find drivers, and reinstalling alsa.  Not their fualt though since they didnt know but doing this saved me many problems hehe
[07:54] <ashu> verb3k: Elda: i have another prob too, how do i play .dat video files?
[07:54] <KurtKraut> rafaelscj: don't forget the workaround you did.
[07:55] <Elda> Not quite sure, but do you need the codec for it?
[07:55] <xiaujuin> halo
[07:55] <ashu> Elda: is there a codec for it?  :?
[07:55] <dante`> hmm
[07:55] <xiaujuin> anyonghaseo
[07:55] <nickrud> rafaelscj: if you decide to make a custom xkb map, you'll probably have to either reset or clear the settings in keyboard prefs, it overrides xorg.conf
[07:55] <Elda> Dont know, but if there is a video format there hasto be a codec for it
[07:56] <IcemanV9> thanks KurtKraut - fwiw, it seems to be the right date =)
[07:56] <xiaujuin> km siapa
[07:56] <WaltzingAlong> ashu: you may have luck just opening the .dat file with vlc or mplayer
[07:56] <xiaujuin> kenalan donks
[07:57] <ashu> .dat isn't just a video format, it can be any data file (it's a very usual format in windows)
[07:57] <ashu> WaltzingAlong: i hav already tried...no luck
[07:57] <verb3k> ashu, could this help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[07:57] <ashu> :(
[07:57] <KurtKraut> IcemanV9: you're welcome
[07:57] <WaltzingAlong> ashu: .dat is just part of the name, not really telling you much about the actual contents of the file
[07:58] <IcemanV9> how can i read this log, dpkg.log.12.gz, without unzip or whatever? use strings??
[07:58] <nickrud> IcemanV9: less will read it
[07:58] <WaltzingAlong> IcemanV9: less dpkg.log.12.gz
[07:58] <ashu> verb3k: it's not there
[07:58] <ashu> WaltzingAlong: yeah i know
[07:58] <verb3k> ashu, it's a video CD isn't it?
[07:58] <ashu> verb3k: yes
[07:58] <IcemanV9> ah. it works. thanks again.
[07:59] <verb3k> ashu, then look at the one that says 7.04
[07:59] <KurtKraut> nickrud: don't you have at least /var/log/installer/ ?
[07:59] <verb3k> ashu, follow it
[07:59] <nickrud> KurtKraut: nope
[07:59] <CorpseFeeder> _emet_: hi.. I'm back. I went to see if I could work out how to install proprietary drivers for my card (listed as Radeon R250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] ) and ended up at this page http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon-prer200.html but I couldn't get the installer to run... So I've come back here :(
[07:59] <KurtKraut> nickrud: how did you installed this ubuntu box first ?
[07:59] <[sistom] > no more vista on my laptop
[07:59] <[sistom] > weeeeeee
[07:59] <verb3k> ashu, I don't have a lot of video CDs and didn't try it but....
[07:59] <[sistom] > ubuntu > *
[07:59] <nickrud> KurtKraut: 7.04 alternate, upgraded to gutsy
[08:00] <linxuz3r> hey guys
[08:00] <WaltzingAlong> ashu: as part of a video cd then you should be able to open it with vlc or mplayer. as part of anything else, it could be anything
[08:00] <Elda> Quick question.... anyone know how I would edit my grub configuration?  I need to remove the acpi=off setting so that I dont have to enter it every time I want to load up linux
[08:00] <KurtKraut> nickrud: oh alternate... I think this folder is created by ubiquity
[08:00] <xiaujuin> Xiaomey
[08:00] <linxuz3r> who thinks ubuntu rocks here?
[08:00] <ashu> WaltzingAlong: but it's not opening in vlc (in linux)
[08:00] <linxuz3r> xiaujuin hello
[08:00] <KurtKraut> linxuz3r: I think all of us :P
[08:00] <nickrud> KurtKraut: ah, ok. Never touch that thing.
[08:00] <WaltzingAlong> ashu: is it part of a video cd?
[08:00] <Elda> As well as remove the extra entry for linux, as I have two entries for linux and the debug settings -_-
[08:00] <linxuz3r> hello KurtKraut
[08:00] <mssever> elda: vi /boot/grub/menu.list
[08:00] <linxuz3r> ubuntu roxxorz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:01] <Elda> vi is vim right?
[08:01] <mssever> elda: then sudo update-grub
[08:01] <ashu> WaltzingAlong: yes it is
[08:01] <linxuz3r> do you guys know when they will release ubuntu gutsy gibbon?
[08:01] <mssever> Elda: yes....or use your favorite other editor
[08:01] <nickrud> Elda: and if you're thinking about removing extra grub stanzas, consider removing the extra kernels, that will automatically remove the extra stanzas
[08:01] <WaltzingAlong> ashu: do you have the rest of the files as well? perhaps using vlc to open the directory
[08:02] <Elda> no no, I mean on grub I have two copies
[08:02] <ashu> verb3k: that file is big...i will try it some other day
[08:02] <Elda> It has four entries
[08:02] <verb3k> !gutsy | linxuz3r
[08:02] <ubotu> linxuz3r: 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
[08:02] <WaltzingAlong> linxuz3r: yes this "in" crowd knows - year 2007, month 10; day perhaps 16th
[08:02] <Elda> 2 for normal booting, and 2 for the debu thing
[08:02] <mssever> Elda: ??
[08:02] <ashu> WaltzingAlong: sorry couldn't get you..
[08:02] <nickrud> for the same kernel and recovery version?
[08:02] <verb3k> ashu, you can try VLC ( tried it and it works)
[08:02] <mssever> Elda: two copies of the same kernel?
[08:02] <edward> is it possible to reboot ubuntu without turning off your hardware?
[08:02] <verb3k> ashu,   sudo apt-get install vlc
[08:03] <mssever> edward: sudo reboot
[08:03] <edward> ok thanks
[08:03] <PogueMcManus> can someone walk me though how to install LAMP on the newest desktop version
[08:03] <Elda> ms server hold on
[08:03] <WaltzingAlong> ashu: there should be other files too. you could use vlc to play videos within an iso or a folder or a video cd laid out in files and folders on your hard drive.
[08:03] <Elda> *mssever
[08:04] <ashu> verb3k WaltzingAlong Elda : i have to go now.....thanks for all your help!! bye!! :D
[08:04] <verb3k> ashu, cya
[08:04] <ehc> anyone recommend a video editing program?
[08:04] <bobgill> What's the command to extract all .tar.gz's in a folder at once? And not into subfolders, but directly into the folder specified
[08:04] <KurtKraut> PogueMcManus: have you checked this ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[08:04] <Elda> no problem, Im happy to help
[08:04] <WaltzingAlong> PogueMcManus: yes. sudo aptitude         then search for lamp-server    (/ to search)          enter +               press    g
[08:04] <jimmacdonald> what is the Gnome equiv of KDESU?
[08:04] <WaltzingAlong> jimmacdonald: gksu
[08:05] <i-hate-wireless> yay.
[08:05] <slammer> hello all
[08:05] <nickrud> I hope that means you get to change your nick, i-hate-wireless
[08:05] <linxuz3r> who thinks ubuntu rocks here?
[08:05] <mssever> bobgill: for i in *.tar.gz; do tar -xzf "$i"; done
[08:05] <i-hate-wireless> it only took me uh. ten minutes to give up on that.
[08:06] <i-hate-wireless> nickrud: i will never change my nick. this will end up on my tombstone.   :|
[08:06] <nickrud> lol
[08:06] <WaltzingAlong> i-hate-wireless: only takes 11 to figure it out
[08:06] <PogueMcManus> It is not listed
[08:06] <nickrud> rflol
[08:06] <bobgill> mssever: thank you, what do I change in there? the "i" ?
[08:06] <i-hate-wireless> "here lies i-hate-wireless, victim of the ralink chipset"
[08:06] <KurtKraut> hahaha
[08:06] <KurtKraut> and a 'ping timeout' also written below
[08:06] <stonebear> Heya
[08:06] <mssever> bobgill: The I is a variable; It will loop through all the tar.gzfiles and extract each one...That is what you wanted, right?
[08:07] <Elda> i-hate-wireless you should see the fun I had getting my sound to work lol
[08:07] <IcemanV9> wicked! Wed, 16 Aug 2006 17:11:47 is the exact date that i installed ubuntu when thinkpad arrived at my door. =)
[08:07] <mssever> PogueMcManus: sudo aptitude install apache2 mysql-server php5
[08:07] <jimmacdonald> anyone familiar with wine?
[08:08] <i-hate-wireless> i'd take a sound problem over wireless any day :P
[08:08] <Elda> Ive used it to install steam games, jimmacdonald that is about it
[08:08] <Enselic> !ask | jimmacdonald
[08:08] <ubotu> jimmacdonald: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:08] <WaltzingAlong> jimmacdonald: something  from veneto? si ;)
[08:08] <bobgill> mssever: yes... how would it work for .zip and .rar files ?
[08:08] <linxuz3r> who thinks ubuntu rocks here????????
[08:08] <nickrud> IcemanV9: out of curiosity, does /lost+found have the same date & time?
[08:08] <WaltzingAlong> jimmacdonald: basically just ask the detailed question
[08:08] <jimmacdonald> I have just installed ubuntu, I installed wine, using synaptic,
[08:08] <IcemanV9> /var/log/installer/syslog is the place to look for the exact date when the ubuntu was installed.
[08:08] <jimmacdonald> I ran sudo winecfg
[08:08] <mssever> bobgill: change the *.tar.gz part and the tar -xzf command
[08:08] <GarryFre> IF we were familiar with wine, we might be afraid to let you know because your hesitancy indicates a possible nightmarish wine debug seesion.
[08:09] <nickrud> IcemanV9: my install didn't create that file ;)
[08:09] <Enselic> jimmacdonald: don't run sudo winecfg, just  winecfg  is better
[08:09] <DWonderly> with wine and programs... is it easier to run windows programs or mac ones?
[08:09] <jimmacdonald> I inserted the DVD fo WoW
[08:09] <KurtKraut> nickrud: yes, but lost+found are a few minutes older than the 'version' file
[08:09] <IcemanV9> 2006-08-16 17:24 lost+found
[08:09] <PogueMcManus> what is Feisty Fawn
[08:09] <i-hate-wireless> uhhh..... does WINE work with mac programs?
[08:09] <mssever> PogueMcManus: the current version of Ubuntu
[08:09] <nickrud> IcemanV9: thanks
[08:09] <IcemanV9> nickrud: close, but not exact :/
[08:09] <KurtKraut> i-hate-wireless: no
[08:09] <Enselic> PogueMcManus: the currrent stable Ubuntu version
[08:09] <Gnea> i-hate-wireless: no.
[08:09] <WaltzingAlong> jimmacdonald: wine is per user so sudo is not necessary;
[08:09] <i-hate-wireless> KurtKraut: didnt think so
[08:10] <nickrud> IcemanV9: well, the partition was created after the install was started, so it makes sense
[08:10] <WaltzingAlong> !feisty |  PogueMcManus
[08:10] <ubotu> PogueMcManus: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Feisty: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - For BitTorrent downloads, see !Torrents
[08:10] <jimmacdonald> I attempted to install WoW. and it appears to have installed but I cannot run it.
[08:10] <GarryFre> there is a #winehq channel
[08:10] <i-hate-wireless> DWonderly: i'm going to put my money on windows ones
[08:10] <morgajel> ... jimmacdonald? the one that works in Troy?
[08:10] <jimmacdonald> works in Troy?
[08:10] <WaltzingAlong> jimmacdonald: WoW in WINE works perfectly here. there are several guides explaining how to get it working
[08:10] <morgajel> I work with a Jim MacDonald
[08:10] <jimmacdonald> care to give me a line?
[08:11] <jimmacdonald> Morga where do you work?
[08:11] <morgajel> entertainment
[08:11] <i-hate-wireless> something tells me the world is full of jim macdonalds
[08:11] <jimmacdonald> WaltzingAlong: care to give me a link?
[08:11] <WaltzingAlong> jimmacdonald: sure thing
[08:11] <WaltzingAlong> jimmacdonald: http://www.google.com/search?q=WoW+wine+ubuntu
[08:11] <GarryFre> Read this for wow and wine http://www.wowwiki.com/Linux/Wine
[08:11] <morgajel> i-hate-wireless: yeah, no doubt, but worth checking
[08:12] <KurtKraut> I hope ReactOS will get stable enough to be a gaming plataform
[08:12] <IcemanV9> another question: how come alternate CD does not have "desktop" partition guide (which installs /home on a separate automatically like hoary) anymore??
[08:12] <PogueMcManus> i used the command sudo tasksel install lamp-server and its just a blue screen in my konsol
[08:12] <i-hate-wireless> archive.ubuntu.com ... eee. there should be a nice, easy way to find packages when youre doing it from, oh, say xp. granted they arent hard-hard-hard to find but ew.
[08:12] <WaltzingAlong> IcemanV9: simplicity of setup/support i presume
[08:12] <IcemanV9> s/separate/separate partition
[08:12] <Karti> Hi all, I am trying to telnet onto my server but my connection is always refused. Is there something I should do to allow me access? All help and pointers appreciated :)
[08:12] <GarryFre> Reactos has a long ways go go. Last I looked, the site said it only supported fat32
[08:13] <mssever> PogueMcManus: What does the screen say?
[08:13] <KurtKraut> Karti: it is an server-side issue. Do you own the server ?
[08:13] <PogueMcManus> Never mind
[08:13] <linxuz3r> hello PogueMcManus
[08:13] <linxuz3r> hello mssever
[08:13] <bobgill> What command could I use to move all files in subfolders to the parent folder? ie., folder named Stuff has subfolders.. I want all the files in its subfolders to go up one level into Stuff
[08:13] <WaltzingAlong> !wine | i-hate-wireless
[08:13] <ubotu> i-hate-wireless: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[08:13] <Karti> KurtKraut: Yes, it is on a home network ....it is a Ubuntu LAMP server and I am trying to access it from a another Kubuntu PC
[08:14] <WaltzingAlong> bobgill:  perhaps something like       mv *.* ..
[08:14] <PogueMcManus> Hello
[08:14] <KurtKraut> Karti: why you're using telnet ? It is pretty unsafe. You should use SSH instead.
[08:14] <linxuz3r> hey Karti
[08:14] <KurtKraut> Karti: check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto
[08:14] <mssever> bobgill: If I understand correctly, try something like: for i in *; do [ -d "$i" ]  && mv "$i"/* .; done
[08:15] <_h_e_l_p_> X won't start on my machine... would installing kubuntu make a difference?
[08:15] <Karti> KurtKraut: I am trying to access a mysql database and get the same errors so I woundered if it was a lockdown on the server that I needed to amend
[08:15] <weltall> hi, i've a core2duo based computer. i've tried gutsy tribe 5 for amd64 but it doesn't work correctly: the kernel works (so the computer supports 64bit) but just after the first screen, when you should see the ubuntu logo, the screen disables itself and altough it continues reading the screen is unusable. any ideas about this?
[08:15] <Karti> linxuz3r: Hi ;)
[08:15] <WaltzingAlong> _h_e_l_p_: if it does or not, either way you would not have learned the lesson regarding what is causing X to not start and ho to remedy that
[08:16] <KurtKraut> Karti: do not use telnet... use SSH. It is a very severe issue.
[08:16] <WaltzingAlong> !gutsy | weltall
[08:16] <ubotu> weltall: 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
[08:16] <weltall> hum
[08:16] <weltall> ok thanks :)
[08:16] <Karti> KurtKraut: no probs reading it now.....
[08:16] <KurtKraut> Karti: and mysql does not accept incoming connections from anything except localhost.
[08:17] <KurtKraut> Karti: by default, I mean.
[08:17] <bobgill> mssever: thanks so much ,worked great.. but got this error and only a few folders retained their files: "mv: cannot move `__MACOSX/7187_Lasse_Korsgaard' to a subdirectory of itself, `./7187_Lasse_Korsgaard"
[08:17] <Karti> KurtKraut: I have the client set up and would like to use that, its just the knowing how to access it :(
[08:17] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: i've been trying to get it to start all week
[08:18] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: finally got it to start (i think) but the screen goes black
[08:18] <PogueMcManus> Can someone PM me that can help me out with setting all this up?
[08:18] <mssever> bobgill: The command probably needs to be tweaked a bit; I wrote it without testing.  You might also try running it again or manually moving those few remaining files
[08:18] <nickrud> PogueMcManus: ask your questions here, more eyes, more solutions
[08:19] <Shadow6363> hmm, is it bad if lsof +L1 outputs things?
[08:19] <WaltzingAlong> _h_e_l_p_: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log    post it to pastebin to share with us
[08:19] <WaltzingAlong> _h_e_l_p_: check /etc/X11/xorg.conf    post it to pastebin to share with us
[08:19] <mssever> bobgill: One more thing...if there are multiple files with the same name Bad Things might happen
[08:20] <bobgill> mssever: oh it works great, thank you.. I am fiddling with it now
[08:20] <PogueMcManus> ok when setting the mysql bind address what does the internal ip mean? my computer ip or my reg. ip

[08:20] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: i can't
[08:20] <WaltzingAlong> _h_e_l_p_: what can you do?
[08:20] <WaltzingAlong> _h_e_l_p_: ship the computer to me. i can fix it for you.
[08:20] <mssever> :)
[08:21] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: ubuntu doesn;t recognize my ethernet card
[08:21] <CorpseFeeder> Anyone here know about how to install proprietary video drivers for my card listed as Radeon R250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] ?
[08:21] <KurtKraut> !ops
[08:21] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: well you could tell me potential problems
[08:21] <ubotu> Help! Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, jenda, nixternal, Myrtti, mneptok or Pici
[08:21] <WaltzingAlong> _h_e_l_p_: so you could just browse the files yourself, looking for errors in the log
[08:21] <crdlb> CorpseFeeder, you don't, the proprietary driver no longer supports anything older than the 9500
[08:21] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: the error says no displays found
[08:22] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: but
[08:22] <WaltzingAlong> _h_e_l_p_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg                         that get you anywhere?
[08:22] <nickrud> PogueMcManus: you might get better mysql info on #mysql
[08:22] <WaltzingAlong> CorpseFeeder: not just the fglrx driver?
[08:22] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: went thru every driver
[08:22] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: when i use vesa, the screen goes black... i'm guessing thats a step in the right directions
[08:22] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: lol
[08:23] <gunspoja> gday everyone
[08:23] <CorpseFeeder> WaltzingAlong: the fglxr only supports cards 9500 and above...
[08:23] <jimmacdonald> display problems trying to installed nvidia-glx
[08:23] <gunspoja> \o/
[08:23] <WaltzingAlong> CorpseFeeder: ok so then i suppose you want the "ati" driver?
[08:23] <jimmacdonald> I can only boot to a cmd prompt
[08:24] <_h_e_l_p_> jimmacdonald same here
[08:24] <WaltzingAlong> jimmacdonald: a cmd prompt, interesting. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:24] <_h_e_l_p_> jimmacdonald: terminal
[08:25] <CorpseFeeder> WaltzingAlong: I think I need this one here for my card.. http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon-prer200.html but I can't get the installer to run...
[08:25] <WaltzingAlong> CorpseFeeder: which errors have you encountered? which things have you tried?
[08:25] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: so vesa gets me a black screen. but i don't know what else i could do to get it to display anything
[08:26] <WaltzingAlong> _h_e_l_p_: which error showed in the log with vesa as the driver?
[08:26] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: i'm on the machine right now, but running windows.
[08:27] <_h_e_l_p_> so which files should i check when i boot ubuntu?
[08:27] <WaltzingAlong> _h_e_l_p_: so which video driver is ms windows using?
[08:28] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: windows recognized the card immediately
[08:28] <osmosis> where is /etc/inittab ?
[08:28] <_h_e_l_p_> then i installed the nVidia drivers
[08:28] <gunspoja> osmosis, its at /etc/inittab
[08:28] <osmosis> gunspoja: its not though
[08:28] <gunspoja> thats where it should be
[08:28] <gunspoja> is it missing?
[08:29] <gunspoja> type "locate inittab"
[08:29] <gunspoja> it shouldn't be :/ inittab needs to be there, afaik
[08:29] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: but nv gives me the same error as all the others... vesa is the only one that does something different
[08:29] <jimmacdonald> WaltzingAlong: That did not correct the problem.
[08:29] <osmosis> gunspoja: where do I set  s0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS1 19200
[08:29] <gunspoja> I have no idea
[08:30] <osmosis> gunspoja: locate only shows   /usr/lib/upstart/migrate-inittab.pl
[08:30] <WaltzingAlong> osmosis: i have that too - feisty fawn
[08:30] <WaltzingAlong> jimmacdonald: ok
[08:30] <nickrud> gunspoja: osmosis inittab is replaced by /etc/event.d
[08:30] <WaltzingAlong> _h_e_l_p_: yes so what to try next?
[08:30] <gunspoja> ty, nickrud
[08:31] <osmosis> nickrud: very cool...how do I use it though.
[08:31] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: yea lol
[08:31] <jimmacdonald> WaltzingAlong: when I reboot. the splash screen shows up but when it trys to start x it fails. I get an install screen prompting me to try reinstall the nvidia driver. I am running a GeForce 8600 OC card?
[08:31] <gunspoja> osmosis, probably add that line to event.d
[08:31] <nickrud> osmosis: use tty1 as an example
[08:31] <WaltzingAlong> osmosis: look at one like tty5 as an example, then make a new one as you want it
[08:32] <_h_e_l_p_> waltzingalong: what would be the next logical thing to do i guess
[08:32] <Elda> What would I do about this situation.... after package manager updated linux and installed all the patches my grub loaders now showed two sets of entries.  One for Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-15-generic and its recovery mode and one for Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic and it's recovery mode.
[08:32] <[sistom] > when I ran the install it asked me to make a l/p
[08:32] <osmosis> do I need to activate these files, or do they all already run?
[08:32] <[sistom] > I never set a root password
[08:32] <[sistom] > so what is it?
[08:32] <nickrud> Elda: leave it as is; it's gooood to have a spare kernel
[08:32] <_h_e_l_p_> everyone is havin prblms with gettin X to strt
[08:33] <Elda> okey
[08:33] <riotkittie> [sistom] : your username and your password. prefix with sudo
[08:33] <_h_e_l_p_> maybe somethin worth bein checked out?
[08:33] <Elda> Only thing Im going to do then is remove the acpi=off setting which I specified when I was installing it to see if it was the cause of my system messing up
[08:34] <nickrud> Elda: you can also remove linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic with synaptic; it would then automatically disappear from grub. But keeping the second oldest around is good practice
[08:34] <Elda> okey, well Ill keep it around in case xD
[08:34] <[sistom] > so if my username is sistom
[08:34] <Elda> Cant hurt
[08:34] <riotkittie> unless X in this equation ... equals.... stable, "secure" wireless. then yea, ... well, we wont go there.
[08:34] <[sistom] > then I su sudosistom
[08:34] <[sistom] > ?
[08:34] <riotkittie> [sistom]  > no. sudo ... sudo command ... then when asked for pass, your pass
[08:35] <nickrud> Elda: the dev's are good, but not perfect. Sometimes an upgraded kernel breaks things for a few people, then it's good to have one that works.
[08:35] <Elda> ah
[08:36] <nickrud> like my sound, going from -15 to 16 ;)
[08:36] <WaltzingAlong> perfect devs make mistakes
[08:36] <riotkittie> there are no such thing as perfect devs :x
[08:37] <WaltzingAlong> riotkittie: really depends on definiton of perfect or devs for that matter
[08:37] <gunspoja> i think he meant "Even the best devs in the world make mistakes"
[08:37] <gunspoja> and I'm one of them, so I should know ;);)
[08:37] <WaltzingAlong> no i meant perfect ones do
[08:37] <nickrud> gunspoja: thanks, that's exactly what I mean :)
[08:38] <WaltzingAlong> _h_e_l_p_: there are several factors contributing to the symptoms of X server not starting; the log tells you what went wrong
[08:38] <[sistom] > so why is there no su root?
[08:38] <nickrud> !root | [sistom] 
[08:38] <ubotu> [sistom] : 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
[08:38] <riotkittie> [sistom] : root's locked in ubuntu
[08:39] <WaltzingAlong> [sistom] : no root makes install easier, makes the system more 'desktop' friendly
[08:39] <Elda> How do I reload my grub?
[08:39] <nickrud> o-0
[08:39] <riotkittie> ehh. i didnt find it any easier than other installs. maybe i'm just weird.
[08:39] <sistom> I got it to work
[08:39] <WaltzingAlong> Elda: do you mean tell grub to update itself according to the defaults?
[08:39] <sistom> lol
[08:39] <nickrud> Elda, any change you made to the menu.lst will be used at next boot, no other action required
[08:39] <A2t3c13> i have had the past 3 orders from ship it rejected and i cant get a email response eitrher
[08:39] <sistom> thanks all!
[08:39] <Elda> I edited it to take off the acpi=off
[08:40] <Elda> Ah okey, thanks nickrud
[08:40] <Elda> Nah was just referring to the changes being made
[08:40] <riotkittie> A2t3c13: and what are you trying to order? many discs? one?
[08:40] <A2t3c13> 10
[08:40] <A2t3c13> 10 straight ubuntu
[08:41] <riotkittie> ah.
[08:41] <nickrud> heh. I ordered 10, forgot about it completely, and when they came had no idea what they were.
[08:41] <jbinder> Same.
[08:41] <jbinder> But I ordered 35.
[08:41] <Elda> Is the wine repository included in the list of repositories with Ubuntu initially or do I have to add it myself?
[08:41] <riotkittie> i ordered 1, they sent me 5 :o
[08:41] <jbinder> I ordered 45, they sent me 35.
[08:41] <WaltzingAlong> Elda: wine is included but you could also include the repository from winehq should you wish
[08:42] <riotkittie> i'm only using ubuntu because of ship-it. i didnt have any CDs :x and  i was broke. :X
[08:42] <nickrud> wished I'd kept one, warty ones are probably few and far between now
[08:42] <A2t3c13> i got my first copy the one i fell in love with and about a month later i started a local ubuntu club
[08:42] <WaltzingAlong> i ordered greedy but was given free
[08:42] <jbinder> When will 7.10 CDs be available, and will they be free?
[08:42] <riotkittie> otherwise, i'd be using something else
[08:42] <A2t3c13> i got 10 copies once after and then nada
[08:42] <WaltzingAlong> riotkittie: i too know no one i could ask to burn a cd for me
[08:43] <jbinder> I can burn a CD for you.
[08:43] <A2t3c13> so that's 1 copy from ship it then 10 more then 3 rejections
[08:43] <A2t3c13> and 0 explanations
[08:44] <ag_> guten morgen: wie kann ich sype unter kubuntu wieder loswerden ?
[08:44] <WaltzingAlong> riotkittie: jbinder can provide a cd for you

[08:44] <ag_> danke
[08:44] <WaltzingAlong> morgen bitte
[08:44] <riotkittie> WaltzingAlong: i dont need a CD :P  i've got a computer with a working burner and a plethora of discs now
[08:44] <WaltzingAlong> :)
[08:44] <riotkittie> its a shame i cant use linux on it, tho. ha ha. :|
[08:45] <Elda> I made linux work on this laptop xD
[08:45] <Elda> Was a hassle but ws so worth it, lol
[08:45] <Elda> Had to find a working dsdt file because toshiba are sloppy and lazy :>
[08:45] <nickrud> 7.04 simply worked on mine. A really smooth install
[08:45] <A2t3c13> seig heil seig heil
[08:45] <mattg> hey everybody, i might be switching back to ubuntu!
[08:45] <nickrud> A2t3c13: rude
[08:45] <Elda> Oh everything worked find but the sound
[08:45] <riotkittie> very rude. tsk tsk.
[08:45] <WaltzingAlong> mattg: from kubuntu?
[08:46] <Elda> But the sound was a pain to make work
[08:46] <mattg> waltzingalong: nope, vista
[08:46] <WaltzingAlong> A2t3c13: #12yo
[08:46] <nickrud> hda intel? worked on -15, not on -16 ;)
[08:46] <riotkittie> you totally ditched ubuntu for vista?  why not dual boot?
[08:47] <mattg> riotkittie: didn't want to go thru that hastle
[08:47] <Elda> Nope.... I had to find a dsdt for bios version 3.80 of the toshiba laptop because it was so glitchy that it was being blacklisted by acpi
[08:47] <riotkittie> hmm. maybe if i can move the modem over here. then i can go wired, and make mr riot go wireless. <ponders>
[08:47] <WaltzingAlong> mattg: agreed. i prefer the hassle of desktop computing through ms windows than dual booting
[08:47] <mattg> riotkittie: i am a 1-os guy
[08:47] <Elda> So as a result when acpi ran, no sound, fan etc
[08:47] <mattg> when i start my computer, i want 1 os to come up...successfully lol
[08:48] <musikgoat> anyone use ircii, know if there is a way to stop viewing joins and parts in the room?
[08:48] <nickrud> no fan, soon no computer. Definitely a no go :)
[08:48] <WaltzingAlong> mattg: sucks then that you do not have that, muhahah
[08:48] <riotkittie> mattg: if it works for you <shrug> ;)

[08:48] <cyberphaz> is it hard to say, download the live cd, and change it in such a way that it will by default be in my local language?
[08:48] <riotkittie> i'm a chronic multibooter :\
[08:49] <nickrud> I've begun to love vmware for my vista needs
[08:49] <magnetron> cyberphaz: many already did that
[08:49] <WaltzingAlong> cyberphaz: several languages are on the live cd and many more available for download
[08:49] <mattg> waltzingalong: i am getting this phone so i can use my map software on it instead of my laptop    http://phoenix.craigslist.org/sys/429436392.html
[08:49] <cyberphaz> mmm cool
[08:49] <zero_> !kernel
[08:49] <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
[08:50] <riotkittie> though right now, i'm limited to xp, dapper and feisty. well, practically limited to xp. :|
[08:50] <rathel> I'm trying to compile something from svn and I keep getting this "aclocal not found" what package contains it?
[08:50] <riotkittie> ugh. i'm going wired. that's all there is to it.
[08:51] <mattg> what's the average user use ubuntu for?  i hear you all talk about stuff i wouldn't ever use...
[08:51] <osmosis> Hmm...I don't see a /dev/ttyS0  being created.  whats up with /dev
[08:51] <interim_descript> Lets say I re-created my user account. What groups should I add him to? (Audio? Admin?) How do I get a list of all groups?
[08:51] <magnetron> mattg: word processing, surfing, chatting, video, music... normal stuff
[08:51] <gunspoja> how can I stop ubuntu from keeping track of documents recently opened, or clear such history?
[08:52] <interim_descript> To answer my own question, /etc/group lists all groups
[08:52] <musikgoat> anyone use ircii, know if there is a way to stop viewing joins and parts in the room?
[08:52] <interim_descript> What might the admin group be called...?
[08:52] <zhanx> hey anyone remeber the name of the program to let you use the special keys on keyboards under linux.. i think it was hotkeys. but i cant find it.. used it but under a diffrent flavor
[08:53] <interim_descript> ... to answer my own question again, the admin group seems to be called ... "admin".
[08:54] <mattg> magnetron: well why don't i just stay with vista?  other than the statement..."it's crap and you can't do anything with it"?
[08:54] <gunspoja> you can do plenty with vista
[08:54] <gunspoja> you can use the calculator, notepad, even mspaint!
[08:55] <musikgoat> don't forget sound recorder
[08:55] <mattg> gunspoja: without paying a boatload...or getting torrents
[08:55] <gunspoja> gasp! you speak of WARES!?
[08:55] <gunspoja> *WAREZ
[08:55] <mattg> not necessarily
[08:55] <gunspoja> ah, the /legal/ torrents ;) ;)
[08:55] <magnetron> mattg: well, ubuntu, has most of the software built-in. if you have any support question, ask it here. otherwise, go to #ubuntu-offtopic for random chatter. thank you
[08:55] <mattg> torrents could be ANYTHING
[08:55] <interim_descript> mattg: People use ubuntu for a lot of things. Some don't go much beyond internet applications. I use ubuntu to develop electronic music software that I use at performances.
[08:56] <gunspoja> I use software for web development, programming, gaming, music, office-type stuff, pretty much everything
[08:56] <gunspoja> software == ubuntu
[08:56] <gunspoja> doh
[08:56] <Elda> Vista is okay, but it uses a large amount of hard drive space, and due to Nvidias drivers XP and Vista are actually worse for gaming than Linux ::/
[08:56] <magnetron> !vista | Elda mattg
[08:56] <ubotu> Elda mattg: vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org
[08:56] <Elda> And since I can already do my school work on Ubuntu, I have all the reasons to switch ofr for the most part xD
[08:57] <mattg> haha i gotta check this out!
[08:57] <Elda> I now have removed Vista and have a small 10-15gig partition for XP
[08:57] <gunspoja> check what out? badvista.org? ubuntu?
[08:57] <magnetron> alright folks this is the SUPPORT channel.
[08:58] <WaltzingAlong> thanks magnetron
[08:58] <WaltzingAlong> if no one needs ubuntu specific support at this moment let silence fall upon the channel
[08:58] <Elda> puuuu
[08:59] <gunspoja> WaltzingAlong, great suggestion, I'll go and invite a Guiness World Records representative
[08:59] <magnetron> #ubuntu-offtopic is a nice place too, for chatter
[08:59] <magnetron> gunspoja: behave
[08:59] <mattg> SILENCE IS HERE!!! HAHA
[08:59] <gunspoja> =( ok
[08:59] <mattg> kick me if you will, just make it leave a mark
[09:00] <magnetron> don't you have any support questions?
[09:00] <gunspoja> I have one!
[09:00] <gunspoja> how do you get rid of "recent documents" history?
[09:00] <mattg> oh gosh...the list could go on!
[09:00] <MTecknology> how can I find out what my server is using to access it's HD? - - like /dev/sda or /dev/hda
[09:01] <magnetron> MTecknology: what kind of server? apache?
[09:01] <riotkittie> err. ok. i'm not going wired :|
[09:01] <MTecknology> magic_ninja, ..... it's fedora - sorry i'm asking in here
[09:01] <mattg> but since i wont be installing it yet, i fail to see a point in asking the question and wasting your time.  time is money, money supports life.  so, i don't want to disturb any of you with my horrible unknowing
[09:01] <MTecknology> i'm not getting an answer in there
[09:02] <riotkittie> and my slightly working wireless has decided to play hard to get again, just because it can
[09:02] <gunspoja> mattg, don't worry, ask away
[09:02] <gunspoja> mattg, as long as its relevant, its fair game
[09:02] <magnetron> MTecknology: ask the fedora guys, i'm sure they are nice :)
[09:02] <mattg> gunspoja: well, some of them are wep questions...stuff ur not sposed to talk about
[09:03] <MTecknology> magnetron, they seem to be, but not getting an answer in there
[09:03] <magnetron> mattg: ask about wep
[09:03] <mattg> haha...i wanna be able to "find out" a wep key
[09:04] <gunspoja> how do I search all files in a directory for specific text?
[09:04] <WaltzingAlong> mattg: ask
[09:04] <WaltzingAlong> gunspoja: grep
[09:04] <WaltzingAlong> mattg: aircrack-ng
[09:04] <riotkittie> if you want to be able to find out a wep key, buy a wireless router and read the documentation included. i'm sure you'll find out a wep key there.
[09:04] <magnetron> mattg: you can use the aircrack-ng package. it's easy installable with ubuntu
[09:05] <mattg> BUT...when i tried using it the first time, i wasn't sure if you needed to be trying to connect to the WAP or if you stayed disconnected.  no instructions are stated clearly with it
[09:05] <morphinex> hey guys, I have an application question
[09:06] <mattg> im gonna try putting mac os x on my hp laptop :)
[09:06] <morphinex> I am looking for an app that will let me play music on my ubuntu box while controlling it remotely
[09:06] <WaltzingAlong> !ask | morphinex
[09:06] <ubotu> morphinex: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:06] <magnetron> mattg: you stay disconnected. aircrack has LOTS of instructions, both bundled with the ubuntu package and on http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php
[09:06] <riotkittie> god. i love linux. "wireless under linux sucks. here, go crack some wep keys"
[09:06] <morphinex> Like how VLC has a http interface, etc
[09:07] <magnetron> morphinex: i heard that amarok has some remote interface plugin
[09:08] <magnetron> mattg: even if it's not easy to use aircrack-ng, i find Ubuntu to be the platform where it's easiest to install and use it.
[09:08] <morphinex> magnetron: any ideas on a name
[09:09] <mattg> ok magnetron but i think it's about time to crash out.  later all and thanks for the vista info and such.  if i go back to ubuntu, it will be tomorrow night at about 7pm Arizona time
[09:09] <magnetron> morphinex: i don't know, i would have told you if i knew, off course.
[09:10] <wolfsong> isn't there a package that let's you choose which display manager you want to use when xstarts?
[09:11] <wolfsong> I know I installed something like that in Debian before
[09:11] <riotkittie> wolfsong: uhhh... the 'sessions' option on the log-on screen?
[09:11] <magnetron> wolfsong: if you install kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop they add choices to your login screen
[09:12] <wolfsong> hmmm for some reason I thought it was a separate package
[09:12] <wolfsong> ok
[09:12] <gunspoja> really? installing kde lets you choose between kde and gnome at startup?
[09:12] <gunspoja> :O
[09:12] <WaltzingAlong> morphinex: xmms?
[09:13] <riotkittie> gunspoja > yea.
[09:13] <gunspoja> xmms is the linux version of winamp
[09:13] <gunspoja> thats great
[09:13] <magnetron> gunspoja: if you install kubuntu-desktop. i don't know if it applies for just kde
[09:13] <wolfsong> gunspoja: entrance does
[09:13] <morphinex> WaltzingAlong: Oh, I didn't know it did that
[09:13] <wolfsong> also lets you choose a wm
[09:13] <gunspoja> oh err, i thought kubuntu-desktop WAS kde
[09:13] <gunspoja> what is it then? :/
[09:13] <riotkittie> beep-media-player is more recent, and gtk2...... but again, similar to xmms and winamp
[09:14] <wolfsong> speaking of which...where in gnome can you change the wm?
[09:14] <riotkittie> yea, it applies for kde too
[09:14] <Elda> Where does wine usually install to?
[09:14] <gunspoja> Elda, all over the place
[09:14] <riotkittie> ~/.wine  ?
[09:14] <gunspoja> yeah, theres some stuff in there
[09:14] <Elda> was thinking it was /.wine but thats not gving me anything
[09:14] <gunspoja> also in /usr/blah
[09:15] <npillowpats> whats the difference between 7.04 and 6.06 versions of ubuntu server?
[09:15] <npillowpats> just length of support?
[09:15] <gunspoja> 7.04 is a more recent version
[09:15] <gunspoja> has more up-to-date software
[09:15] <wolfsong> .08?
[09:15] <riotkittie> npillowpats: ten months, give or take
[09:15] <gunspoja> but is not supported as much
[09:15] <wolfsong> :P
[09:15] <J-23> What kernel params I need for Ubuntu?
[09:15] <riotkittie> tahnk you, thank you'll be here all week
[09:16] <aLeSD> Do I have to install vmware workstation from the tar file ? Or exist a package for ubuntu ?
[09:16] <xerxe> hello guys! whenever i play a movie, i got a green bar on top of the movie window? how can i get rid of it?
[09:18] <Elda> Wee found it... was hidden under usr bin
[09:18] <npillowpats> gunspoja : im just going to make a home file server
[09:18] <npillowpats> will it still fullfill my intended purposes?
[09:18] <xerxe> hello guys! whenever i play a movie, i got a green bar on top of the movie window? how can i get rid of it?
[09:18] <gunspoja> npillowpats, 7.04 should be fine
[09:18] <gunspoja> make sure to get the 32-bit version too
[09:19] <npillowpats> gunspoja : why would i need the 32 bit ver as well?
[09:19] <wolfsong> npillowpats: is it "just" going to be a file server?
[09:19] <gunspoja> not "as well", i mean get the 32-bit version of ubuntu
[09:19] <gunspoja> there is a 32-bit and a 64-bit version
[09:20] <gunspoja> lots of people go and download the 64-bit version, don't know what that actually means, and then come back in here complaining that this or that doesn't work properly, so I'm saving you the trauma and wasted time/bandwidth
[09:21] <kkathman> gunspoja:  well, most decent configs will run 64-bit just fine
[09:21] <gunspoja> yeah, they will run 64bit ubuntu just fine
[09:22] <gunspoja> but 64bit ubuntu sometimes has a bit of trouble running 3rd-party software
[09:22] <kkathman> in fact linux is much better running 64 than any other OS
[09:22] <npillowpats> wolfsong: yeah, just a file server
[09:22] <vcool> is the 64bit faster than 32bit on 64bit machine ?
[09:22] <kkathman> depends on the 3rd party  :)
[09:22] <gunspoja> very slightly, on some architectures
[09:22] <wolfsong> npillowpats: have you looked at FreeNAS?
[09:22] <gunspoja> kkathman, that is obviously the case.
[09:22] <vcool> how significant ?
[09:23] <gunspoja> not enough to compensate for the lack of compatible software
[09:23] <kkathman> most companies/devs havent gotten very good at coding 64 bit apps properly

[09:28] <marckie> hello?
[09:29] <xerxe> hello guys! whenever i play a movie, i got a green bar on top of the movie window? how can i get rid of it?
[09:29] <vcool> /etc/apt/source.list ?
[09:29] <damianl> thanks, havent used ubuntu for over a year i forget that sort of thing
[09:29] <gunspoja> hello xerxe! i have no idea!
[09:29] <vcool> ok
[09:30] <vcool> xerxe: do u uses compiz ?
[09:30] <vcool> beryl ?
[09:30] <xerxe> gunspoja, got to reinstall ubuntu?
[09:30] <gunspoja> xerxe, I certainly hope not
[09:30] <vcool> what movie player ?
[09:30] <xerxe> i use fglrx, xorg, desktop effect, vcool
[09:30] <Electrosys> is beryl what i want to install for ubuntu as far as opengl accelerated desktops go?
[09:31] <gunspoja> Electrosys, no it is not.  you want compiz-fusion
[09:31] <Ignite> Electrosys, Compiz is installed by default in Feisty, go to the control panel then "desktop effects".
[09:31] <vcool> try this : $gstreamer-properties
[09:31] <gunspoja> desktop effects is tame compared to compiz-fusion
[09:32] <gunspoja> it has like, 3 features
[09:32] <gunspoja> compiz-fusion has about NINE THOUSAND
[09:32] <Ignite> Then install a better control panel.
[09:32] <vcool> in video tab, choose X Window System as default plugin output

[09:32] <cyberphaz> 9000 bazillion gamillion

[09:33] <marckie> hi! my java doesn't seem to work...
[09:33] <marckie> hmmmm...
[09:34] <Ignite> marckie, have you installed sun-java6-jre?
[09:34] <marckie> already did
[09:34] <marckie> already in my about:plugins page also
[09:34] <magnetron> !java | marckie
[09:34] <ubotu> marckie: 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
[09:35] <Ignite> marckie, in the terminal run "sudo update-alternatives --config java" and select the Sun jre from the list.
[09:35] <marckie> but when I go to a certain page that needs java... it fails../.
[09:35] <marckie> ^_^
[09:35] <gunspoja> ;_;
[09:35] <Ignite> marckie, you might need the sun-java6-plugin package, I think that's the name anyway...
[09:35] <Electrosys> gunspoja: thanks for the help. brb
[09:36] <gunspoja> no worries
[09:36] <guru> i'm attempting to get my Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) working and thus far with the saa7130 driver i can get sound (no video) from Composit 1 using card=21 and i and i can get video with card=67 but not both. does anyone know what i need to do to get both video and sound working or have i just not found the right card and tuner combination yet?
[09:36] <marckie> is it in synaptic?
[09:36] <marckie> wait ill go check
[09:36] <gunspoja> guru WINS **** BEST SUPPORT QUESTION OF THE DAY ****
[09:36] <guru> heh
[09:37] <gunspoja> guru: i have absolutely no idea what hardware you are talking about there, let alone how to help you, but your question kicked ass
[09:37] <guru> heh
[09:37] <Ignite> guru, is that a TV tuner card by any chance?
[09:37] <guru> well thanks, i think
[09:37] <marckie> its not in my synaptic
[09:37] <guru> Ignite: yes, or at least it said so on the box :)
[09:37] <gunspoja> its such a breath of fresh air when people actually give useful information with their questions, instead of saying "ITS BORKEN, WHATS WRONG!"
[09:38] <Ignite> Lets see if this works.
[09:38] <cyberphaz> hes talking abouve a tv-card/video decodercard
[09:38] <guru> Ignite: it also has a radio tuner
[09:38] <Ignite> !mythtv | guru
[09:38] <ubotu> guru: MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
[09:38] <Ignite> :D
[09:38] <marckie> what i installed was sun-java6-jre
[09:38] <marckie> is that different?
[09:38] <guru> Ignite: yes, but in order to use mythtv i need to configure the driver ;)
[09:38] <Ignite> marckie, there are multiple packages, one of them contains the word "plugin". You need that for java in firefox.
[09:39] <Ignite> guru, you have a point, I thought the link might cover some of that though. Was I wrong?
[09:39] <guru> here is where i am currently (s = start, . = current, X = mythtv): S            .                                                                  X
[09:39] <Ignite> Lol
[09:39] <guru> Ignite: no, not for my specific problem it does not
[09:39] <Ignite> Have you tried the forums?
[09:40] <Ignite> Somebody else probably had a similar problem.
[09:40] <guru> i can get sound and no video (and no option to change the channel) or i can get video (can change the channel) and no sound, but so far not both at the same time
[09:40] <guru> yes i did but didn't find anything useful
[09:41] <Ignite> guru, I'm of no help with TV tuners I'm afraid, I did what I could though. Sorry. :(

[09:43] <jaw> hi! i'm totally baffffled with my pseudo-network-connectivity. Running Feisty and I can ping google.com, I can do whois lookups... but I can't access any websites (not with firefox, not with lynx) Nor can I do any apt-get updates
[09:43] <cyberphaz> sounds like the firewall would be blocking it :)
[09:43] <magnetron> jaw: how are you connected?
[09:43] <guru> Ignite: no problem. thanks for the effort :)
[09:43] <jaw> If I take this same cable and plug it into my macbook it works. Also I'm on the macbook now which is coming ooff the same router / switch's connection
[09:43] <pakwarung> hellow
[09:44] <guru> jaw: did you set your dns server correctly?
[09:44] <pakwarung> can u help me
[09:44] <cyberphaz> if he can ping the domain the dns is working
[09:44] <gunspoja> hellow pakwarung
[09:45] <gunspoja> I think we can help you, pakwarung
[09:45] <pakwarung> hi guns..
[09:45] <guru> hmm...is there more than one adapter installed?
[09:45] <jaw> guru and magnetron: The connection is a little convoluted (out of my control as it's associated with landlord). A Cable Modem goes into a 5 port router, which has a line going out into a 6 port fast ethernet switch, which I get 1 line into my room, and it goes into one of the switched ports of a router. (yikes.) But I also verified with a line directly out of the main router and the situation was replicated
[09:45] <jimmyww> hi
[09:46] <pakwarung> i`m used pIII 700 MHZ ram 256 vga 32 mb share hardisk 40gb
[09:46] <vinboy_> hi
[09:46] <vinboy_> how do I use wildcard with tar?
[09:46] <jimmyww> can someone help me install ubuntu on to a usb stick
[09:46] <pakwarung> can u tell me ubuntu version what can i use??
[09:46] <gunspoja> jimmyww, www.pendrivelinux.com
[09:46] <guru> vinboy_: more than likely you need to escape the * (i.e., \*)
[09:46] <gunspoja> jimmyww, how big is your usb stick?
[09:47] <vinboy_> guru: nah it doesnt work
[09:47] <jaw> guru and magnetron: how do I determine if my DNS is set up correctly?
[09:47] <jimmyww> 1 gb
[09:47] <guru> jaw: as previously stated if ping works then dns should be good
[09:47] <gunspoja> jimmyww, you won't be able to get any of the persistent features on it, then (or at least, not much). it will be pretty much just like a live CD
[09:47] <jimmyww> and i need instructions that dont involve me needing linux to start with
[09:47] <guru> jaw: do you have more than one ethernet device installed?
[09:47] <gunspoja> jimmyww, you don't
[09:47] <jaw> guru: I'll pastie an output of ifconfig
[09:48] <pakwarung> on ubuntu 704 my mouse not detect
[09:48] <jimmyww> gunspoja, i cant use a live cd, i get an error
[09:48] <UltraNav> need help troubleshooting a multi-homed host with a VPN link. The Link works but the packets do  not seem to get any further at the multi-homed host. Forwarding is turned on in sysctl.conf, iptables FORWARDing is set to ACCEPT any ideas ?
[09:48] <jimmyww> so someone suggest booting off a live cd
[09:48] <gunspoja> jimmyww, well then it probably won't work on the usb stick either, depending what the error is
[09:48] <jimmyww> sorry usb
[09:48] <jimmyww> the error is
[09:49] <jimmyww> ill be back hang on
[09:49] <gunspoja> :/
[09:49] <pakwarung> gunspoja can i`l  pm u?
[09:49] <gunspoja> pakwarung, have you registered with nickserv?
[09:49] <pakwarung> i`m not register my nick
[09:50] <Elda> bbl
[09:50] <gunspoja> you can't pm anyone when on freenode if you haven't registered with nickserv
[09:50] <pakwarung> ouh..
[09:50] <gunspoja> so register then...its easy
[09:50] <pakwarung> can u  help me with commands for register
[09:50] <jaw> guru: Here's my ifconfig output  http://pastie.caboo.se/99828 (which interestingly enough I accessed via a shared samba drive on my macbook (this computer) --- so the connection is totally there. Perhaps it's my gateway that's acting up for http traffic
[09:51] <gunspoja> type /msg nickserv help
[09:51] <gunspoja> and that will tell you how to do it
[09:51] <jimmyww> gunspoja, the error is
[09:51] <pakwarung> thx gunspoja
[09:51] <gunspoja> you're welcome :)
[09:51] <jimmyww> "can't access tty, job control turned off"
[09:52] <gunspoja> jimmyww, yeah I've had that one myself
[09:52] <jimmyww> how do u fix it?
[09:52] <gunspoja> jimmyww, it happened when I did something, but I can't remember what it was
[09:52] <gunspoja> the fix involved me editing some stuff in grub, though
[09:53] <gunspoja> that error wasn't happening on the livecd, though
[09:53] <jimmyww> i will tell u the whole story
[09:53] <gunspoja> it was happening on my actual ubuntu install
[09:53] <gunspoja> which was unpleasant to say the least...
[09:53] <jimmyww> i have an old thinkpad
[09:53] <jimmyww> with 256mb ram and 1ghz
[09:53] <jaw> so i'm  going to try to reset the router
[09:54] <gunspoja> jaw, try not! do, or do not.  there is no try!
[09:54] <jimmyww> i but in the live cd
[09:54] <punzada> Can anyone tell me what happened to the good looking tux and why does he look like a half retarded egg now?

[09:55] <normie_> has anyone succesfully configured their broadcom 1390 wireless card?
[09:55] <punzada> i need to find high res renders of old tux, to the interweb!
[09:55] <gunspoja> away!

[09:57] <jimmyww> gunspoja: and booted, and all went well to i got the error "buffer error i/o on device fd0, logical block 0"
[09:57] <FIRESIDE91> Davy_Jones: It's a connotation thing
[09:58] <FIRESIDE91> N00B has a bad feeling to it, while newbie sounds more gentle, don't ask why

[09:59] <Crozar> vmplayer asks me for a file when i run it where can i get a WinXp vm player ROM???
[09:59] <jimmyww> i did once
[09:59] <gunspoja> i.e. you'll get banned if you keep talking about it
[09:59] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: i'm banned from OT
[09:59] <jimmyww> guspoja, can u help me?
[09:59] <gunspoja> jimmyww, I wish I could, but I have no idea what to do
[10:00] <gunspoja> you probably want to ask someone more experienced about the mysteries of linux than I am
[10:00] <gunspoja> to me, linux is about as clear as coca-cola
[10:00] <marckie> has anybody here used frostwire?
[10:00] <punzada> The highest res and clearest img of tux I can find is http://users.jyu.fi/~juhtolv/linux-sticker/logo.gif
[10:00] <punzada> and that blows ;/
[10:00] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar: You don't need a XP "ROM"
[10:00] <gunspoja> lol he's obese
[10:00] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar: What file is it asking you for?
[10:00] <gunspoja> and why does he have pecs :/
[10:00] <jimmyww> gunspoja, someone said boot of a usb, so does anyone know how to help me with that
[10:00] <punzada> lifting all those servers
[10:00] <punzada> :P

[10:01] <Crozar> When VM player starting , it just opens me a dIR Browser with a file type of Virtual Machines ( * . vmx )
[10:02] <gunspoja> jimmyww, its pretty easy to do, just google it.  i didn't have a lot of trouble
[10:02] <Asathoor> hi I'm looking for a way to copy ubuntu from /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda1 and change the bootloader. How can I do it?
[10:02] <jimmyww> i did
[10:02] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar: Don't use VMWare Player, get VirtualBox, you'll have less hassles
[10:02] <Crozar> which is faster and better and has no errors like if i work with excel for instance
[10:02] <jimmyww> and got http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/21/usb-ubuntu-704-persistent-install/#more-239
[10:03] <gunspoja> punzada, http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2007/04/gallery_mascots/tux.jpg
[10:03] <Crozar> !VirtualBox
[10:03] <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
[10:03] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar: VirtualBox runs faster
[10:03] <FIRESIDE91> And it's smaller
[10:03] <jimmyww> and there i need a live cd that works
[10:03] <Crozar> should i uninstall vmplayer?
[10:03] <jimmyww> so i m screwed
[10:03] <FIRESIDE91> Now then...why do you need Excel, I'm curious?  Pivot tables?
[10:03] <punzada> very nice gunspoja , I may actually just make my own wallpaper with that one :)
[10:03] <Crozar> because i got 2 vmplayer restricted drivers which i think it slow down system
[10:03] <Montaro> yes get rid of that horrible proprietrary software ;)
[10:04] <gunspoja> jimmyww, you have to have the livecd to make a copy of the livecd...
[10:04] <punzada> I'm still trying to find one about that sized fully rendered like the logo though
[10:04] <Asathoor> jimmyww >> why not take it from ubuntu.com
[10:04] <jimmyww> im confused
[10:04] <Davy_Jones> jimmyww: so you want to boot ubuntu off of a flash drive?
[10:04] <jimmyww> yes
[10:04] <pakwarung> i`m use old pc can it run ubuntu??
[10:04] <gunspoja> jimmyww, what did you think that a usb-stick ubuntu would have on it, other than ubuntu?
[10:04] <gunspoja> pakwarung, possibly
[10:04] <Davy_Jones> pakwarung: you never know until you try
[10:04] <jimmyww> there error that im getting would be avoided
[10:05] <Asathoor> pakwa >> if not try puppy
[10:05] <gunspoja> pakwarung, http://search.cpan.org/src/MIKEM/Device-SNP-1.2/datadesigner/tux-sw.gif
[10:05] <jimmyww> *the
[10:05] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar: Yes, VMWare is a resource hog, uninstall it
[10:05] <Davy_Jones> pakwarung: but i suggest you look for minimalist distros also
[10:05] <Crozar> is Virtual Box available through Synaptic ?
[10:05] <pakwarung> but i try to ubuntu live cd my hardware (mouse not detected)
[10:05] <Davy_Jones> pakwarung: puppy or DSL
[10:05] <gunspoja> DSL is wonderful, its like 50mb
[10:05] <pakwarung> hm.. dsl..good
[10:05] <gunspoja> i mean, damn
[10:05] <gunspoja> 50mb!
[10:05] <sirrus> hi guys, does anyone have any experience with some of the more recent snapshots of foresight linux?
[10:05] <pakwarung> but it format my hardisk??
[10:05] <gunspoja> you could write it in binary on a piece of A4 paper if you wrote pretty small
[10:05] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar: No, but they have .debs on the website, just as easy as synaptic
[10:06] <pakwarung> my data will gone..
[10:06] <jimmyww> so what do you recon
[10:06] <Montaro> uh this is #ubuntu
[10:06] <gunspoja> pakwarung, not necessarily
[10:06] <Montaro> not #foresightlinux
[10:06] <Montaro> lol
[10:06] <Davy_Jones> pakwarung: copy your data to CDs
[10:06] <sirrus> Montaro: I know that.
[10:06] <gunspoja> pakwarung, you could always just make a little partition to install linux on
[10:06] <Davy_Jones> pakwarung: or create another partition for linux
[10:06] <jimmyww> ok
[10:06] <jimmyww> brb
[10:06] <FIRESIDE91> Best backup solution...have a second harddisk...
[10:06] <pakwarung> ok i will try with create partition linux
[10:06] <gunspoja> especially if its DSL, you just delete a couple of desktop wallpapers and you have enough space for the whole OS :P
[10:06] <Montaro> then you will also know that asking an Intel rep to help you with your AMD processor will not go down well either
[10:06] <Crozar> oh dear. when i uninstall vmplayer it hasnt uninstalled the things that come with it like the lib3759. something and the other things
[10:07] <gunspoja> Montaro, LOL
[10:07] <Davy_Jones> pakwarung: use partition magic when you can
[10:07] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar....did you do apt-get remove vmware-player?
[10:07] <gunspoja> punzada, http://search.cpan.org/src/MIKEM/Device-SNP-1.2/datadesigner/tux-sw.gif
[10:07] <chifferchap> what's the name of the chinese chat room again?

[10:09] <chifferchap> 
[10:09] <Davy_Jones> Asathoor: i'm not sure, but i think you can just move the files there and reset grub
[10:09] <Davy_Jones> !grub | Asathoor
[10:09] <ubotu> Asathoor: 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
[10:10] <Crozar> this is what im scared of linux , when installing a thing it asks for some addon parties with it and lib's then when uninstalling the libs and party stay int he computer with no use.
[10:10] <Davy_Jones> the first link
[10:10] <Davy_Jones> for resetting
[10:10] <Montaro> Crozar: Windows is way worse for this. Wayyy worse.
[10:10] <Crozar> windows uninstalls everything?
[10:11] <Crozar> thats worse?
[10:11] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar: No it doesn't
[10:11] <gunspoja> Crozar, no it doesnt
[10:11] <Davy_Jones> Crozar: that is very space-saving also.. in windows, every program brings its own libraries and files which it can share with other programs.. so you get a lot of wasted space for libraries that can be shared
[10:11] <Montaro> It definately does not
[10:11] <gunspoja> Crozar, windows just makes you think that it does, but in actual fact its even worse because it HIDES the evidence that it left stuff lying around
[10:11] <Asathoor> ubotu >> thanx
[10:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thanx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:11] <Crozar> looooooool
[10:11] <FIRESIDE91> Windows always leaves little "droppings" of past programs, that's why it starts running so slow over time
[10:11] <Crozar> microsoft is clever
[10:12] <toni_> hi i installed firefox adblock plugin ... now i 've downloaded a .txt file for import but it seems that the .txt file isn't accepted
[10:12] <gunspoja> uhh, in the same way that pol pot was clever, i guess
[10:12] <Crozar> FIRESIDE91: so after the package download install through terminal or by right click use synaptic ?
[10:12] <FIRESIDE91> just double click the package
[10:12] <andres> hi
[10:12] <isna> kyut
[10:13] <toni_> hi i installed firefox adblock plugin ... now i 've downloaded a .txt file for import but it seems that the .txt file isn't accepted
[10:13] <Davy_Jones> Crozar: like aspell is a package for spell checking.. openoffice can use it, gaim can use it, friggin gedit can use it.. it's one package.. in windows, each software will bring its own spell-checking package which is not efficient for disk space
[10:13] <FIRESIDE91> Now then, I have to go to bed..
[10:13] <andres> i cant see iconos in OpenOffice
[10:13] <FIRESIDE91> Night all
[10:13] <Crozar> this guy speaks diffrent language
[10:13] <andres> anyone knows why?
[10:13] <gunspoja> gnight fire
[10:14] <gunspoja> Crozar, yes, many people here do, e.g. me
[10:14] <vampyre_eyes> anyone here know how to run a windows service under wine?
[10:14] <gunspoja> vampyre_eyes, use a vm
[10:14] <gunspoja> I don't think that will work very well under wine
[10:14] <Crozar> windows service or u mean to emulate the whole windows gunspoja?
[10:15] <andres> wine is not an emulator :-D
[10:15] <gunspoja> uhh, windows services don't run by themselves, they need other parts of the OS to run properly in most (if not all) cases
[10:15] <Crozar> gunspoja: get virtual box http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[10:15] <gunspoja> Crozar, I'm not the one who asked the question...
[10:15] <vampyre_eyes> hmm
[10:15] <Crozar> looool
[10:15] <Crozar> good luck guys
[10:15] <vampyre_eyes> i need to run a program
[10:15] <gunspoja> vampyre_eyes, everything he said to me was meant for you
[10:16] <vampyre_eyes> and it requires a service to run
[10:16] <gunspoja> vampyre_eyes, use a virtual machine, its much easier than trying to run a windows service
[10:16] <Davy_Jones> my advice would be NOT to use any form of emulation/vitualization/api layers
[10:16] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, why not? emulation is awesome
[10:16] <vampyre_eyes> I am using vmware at the moment
[10:16] <vampyre_eyes> but i would like to ditch that
[10:16] <gunspoja> vampyre_eyes, you could ditch it and just run windows natively ;)
[10:16] <Davy_Jones> they need a lot of work and tweaking to get done, and even if they do work.. it's not efficient and you get into a lot of avoidable headaches
[10:16] <vampyre_eyes> never
[10:17] <vampyre_eyes> I loath windows
[10:17] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, they are better than the alternative
[10:17] <gunspoja> vampyre_eyes, well then, its VMs for you
[10:17] <vampyre_eyes> :-(
[10:17] <Davy_Jones> i hate all forms of emulation
[10:17] <vampyre_eyes> VMWARE is dam awesome
[10:17] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, are you saying you hate playing super mario on a pc!?
[10:17] <Davy_Jones> when i want to run a windows-only program, i use windows
[10:17] <gunspoja> you evil man!
[10:17] <vampyre_eyes> but it really a wast just to run one app
[10:17] <gunspoja> you probably don't even like playing metal slug
[10:17] <gunspoja> emulation != windows emulation
[10:18] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: i got Tremulous on my linux box, that's pretty much all i want
[10:18] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: and other FPS games for that matter
[10:18] <vampyre_eyes> I am needing a VPN to get to my work
[10:18] <vampyre_eyes> but
[10:18] <gunspoja> those aren't fps games...
[10:18] <vampyre_eyes> it only works under windows
[10:18] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: i know, i didn't say windows emulation, i said EMULATION,, in general
[10:18] <gunspoja> wow, thats really funny
[10:18] <gunspoja> since emulation happens quite extensively in ANY operating system
[10:19] <gunspoja> afaik
[10:19] <vampyre_eyes> the application is Aventail connect
[10:19] <gunspoja> and also in hardware and firmware
[10:19] <Davy_Jones> it doesn't, but lets not dwell in this and go offtopic
[10:19] <gunspoja> so, looks like you're going to have to throw your computer away, Davy_Jones. put it in your locker ;)
[10:20] <vampyre_eyes> anyone at least know how i can start to debug it
[10:20] <vampyre_eyes> i am a noob with wine
[10:20] <gunspoja> vampyre_eyes, no idea
[10:20] <gunspoja> ask in #winehq
[10:20] <Davy_Jones> i'm happy with my computer.. dual-boot ubuntu and windows.. windows for my young sisters and the real OS for me
[10:20] <vampyre_eyes> ok thanks
[10:20] <vampyre_eyes> My wife, mother and brother all run Ubuntu
[10:20] <vampyre_eyes> Ubuntu FTW!
[10:21] <Crozar> is Wine fast to run Doom3?
[10:21] <Davy_Jones> the ePSXe emulator has been out for quiet some time.. it still cannot emulate the PS1 firmware
[10:21] <gunspoja> Crozar, you don't need wine to play doom3, ID software make linux binaries for all their games
[10:21] <gunspoja> and yes, doom3 runs just as well under ubuntu as it does in windows.  I play it myself sometimes
[10:21] <Davy_Jones> Crozar: why run Doom3 on wine when you can run it natively on linux
[10:21] <Crozar> lol
[10:22] <Davy_Jones> Doom3 is pretty darn scary.. i couldn't continue stage 1
[10:22] <Crozar> im a Quaker and Doomer so dont tell me this , lets say for instance TrackMania United
[10:22] <Davy_Jones> Quake 4 is too, but it's playable
[10:22] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, heh
[10:23] <sirrus> unlike Doom, which scares the shit of you by letting various hellspawns jum in on your back
[10:23] <gunspoja> doom3 is just cheap scares, there isn't really much real horror
[10:23] <Crozar> i finished d3 and q4 and bored from the net every1 is too low as windows for ur point of view and i got the linux head
[10:23] <gunspoja> play condemned, THAT is real horror
[10:23] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: i don't want to shit my pants, i want to play a game and be happy :P
[10:23] <RaymondDay> Any one know how to get apache to display .mvc files right not just text?
[10:23] <gunspoja> u get desensitized to it eventually ;)
[10:23] <gunspoja> for happiness: soldat
[10:23] <sirrus> Davy_Jones: then avoid all id games
[10:23] <gunspoja> soldat is the happiest game ever
[10:23] <gunspoja> also gumboy, but thats just too freaking hard
[10:24] <Crozar> so linux run directly like u say doom3 and quake3 i never tried doom3 , but i dont believe il get higher frame rates becauase of driver issue , with nvidia they give windows version 140+ when here it hink we're still on 80 or maybe 20?
[10:24] <Davy_Jones> sirrus: id games are the bomb, just Doom3
[10:24] <Davy_Jones> bombs*
[10:24] <gunspoja> and gish, damn that game was awesome, but this is very very OT and I like this channel so I'll shut up about games
[10:24] <gunspoja> Crozar, i never said "higher", just that it should work about the same
[10:24] <Davy_Jones> Doom3 is full of details, so you need a powerful graphix card
[10:24] <gunspoja> not by today's standards
[10:25] <Crozar> i bet il drop frame rates and tweaked stuff cant be tweaked
[10:25] <Davy_Jones> well, the "standards" change every single day
[10:25] <gunspoja> Crozar, you wanna bet?  you can tweak just as much
[10:25] <Crozar> with XP u can tweak ur drivers , card , and game , and even the system towards gaming
[10:25] <codeane> hi, fresh install, updated, enabled desktop effects which downloaded nvidia drivers and rebooted, now it won't load gdm, any ideas?
[10:25] <gunspoja> although you are right about not being able to tweak the drivers as easily
[10:25] <gunspoja> it would be nice if you could
[10:26] <gunspoja> not that I use that in windows anyway
[10:26] <Crozar>  its ok i dont want to go to the tweaking subject il do some research.
[10:26] <Davy_Jones> Crozar: don't make statements before you actually try it out.. it makes you sound stupid
[10:26] <devilsreject> hey all i gotta quick question anybody kow of an easy way to burn an avi as a reg video dvd in ubuntu??
[10:26] <gunspoja> well, he is correct, afaik
[10:26] <Davy_Jones> you can tweak the nvidia drivers the same way you do it in winders
[10:26] <Crozar> because this is my 9th day on linux and with windows ive been using since 3.1
[10:26] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, how so?
[10:27] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: Applications > System Tools > Nvidia Settings
[10:27] <gunspoja> Crozar, don't worry, you will come to appreciate linux's numerous advantages, just as long as you can overlook its flaws
[10:27] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, O_O
[10:27] <Davy_Jones> ya
[10:27] <Davy_Jones> lol
[10:27] <codeane> fails to initialize nvidia drivers
[10:27] <gunspoja> \O/
[10:27] <Crozar> i appreciate it as much as myself  wondering about computer life long ago , i can tell you this , that computers should be linux not windows , this is how a computer should be :)
[10:28] <gunspoja> I never knew that program was there! thats awesome
[10:28] <gunspoja> Crozar, definitely! and we should all speak lojban!
[10:28] <Crozar> whats loj?
[10:28] <gunspoja> lojban is to english what linux is to windows (well, sort of)
[10:28] <sirrus> Crozar: I don't care what it is as long as it is *NIX based and has bash and python on it :)
[10:28] <Crozar> huh ? what you talking lo
[10:29] <sirrus> you said all computers should be linux
[10:29] <Davy_Jones> lojban is a free open-source english?
[10:29] <gunspoja> Crozar, read this http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=What+Is+Lojban?&bl
[10:29] <Davy_Jones> lojban Is Not English
[10:29] <Davy_Jones> heh
[10:29] <Crozar> i care 1 thing because it has no virus no error and all free things with amazing Next Technology effects , soon we will have based weather duration with a movie background optimized by 3dmax
[10:29] <Davy_Jones> sounds cool
[10:29] <sirrus> I said I don't care what they are as long as they are UNIX-based
[10:29] <gunspoja> Crozar, and then read this http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Why+Learn+Lojban?&bl
[10:30] <gunspoja> Crozar, whoa there, slow down :P fancy desktop backgrounds have nothing to do with linux.  you could implement that in windows as well, you know
[10:30] <gunspoja> its not like linux is the ONLY place for open-source...there is a lot of open-source software available for windows too
[10:31] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: this lojban thing sounds like it wants to turn us into robots
[10:31] <slvmchn> at the risk of being told to consult google, is SLI possible/available under ubuntu?
[10:31] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, thats a really bad misinterpretation
[10:31] <Crozar> comon people lojban>? u got to be kidding me
[10:31] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, maybe you should follow your own advice and learn about something before making silly statements like that
[10:31] <DP72> What is "Ubuntu FTW" meaning, specialy "FTW"
[10:31] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: to communicate with each other and possibly in the future with computers
[10:31] <Davy_Jones> is based on the principles of logic
[10:32] <gunspoja> uhh, so?
[10:32] <Davy_Jones> that's very robotic
[10:32] <gunspoja> no its not
[10:32] <Davy_Jones> i don't know.. it just sounds so
[10:32] <gunspoja> robot = no free will
[10:32] <gunspoja> lojban is not vulcan
[10:32] <Crozar> you dont study religions? didnt you research which is the highest grammer vocab language in the world and hardest?
[10:32] <gunspoja> it can express a MUCH wider range of emotions and ideas than english can
[10:32] <Ilokaasu> DP72 for the win ?!
[10:32] <gunspoja> and communicating with computers is in no way robotic, if the communications medium is your own normal, natural language
[10:33] <Crozar> why talk to a machine? lo
[10:33] <gunspoja> Crozar, ever heard of "programming"?
[10:33] <Davy_Jones> heh
[10:33] <gunspoja> all the software you have ever used was devised by "talking to a machine"
[10:33] <Crozar> so u want to make programs by talking then you think urself as god? ur brain has no limits huh?
[10:33] <Davy_Jones> because machines ARE GONNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD
[10:33] <gunspoja> wow, you guys are idiots...
[10:34] <gunspoja> easier programming == think yourself a god? what the hell, Crozar
[10:34] <Crozar> do you think people can make 10000 programs?
[10:34] <gunspoja> if you want to deliberately misunderstand and exaggerate everything then there isn't a whole lot of point in talking to you
[10:34] <Crozar> winzip is theyr winrar is theyr and maybe others , but who cares.
[10:35] <Davy_Jones> theyr
[10:35] <gunspoja> see what I mean about his level of intelligence...
[10:35] <Davy_Jones> that's very low level.. sorry
[10:35] <gunspoja> yeah, I probably shouldn't sink so low as to attacking someone's typos
[10:35] <Crozar> 1 think for u to understand , dont live with the agenda where they say " when you want something go do it or you can do it " " white man can fly ? " really brainwashed kids since 1993
[10:35] <codeane> hi, fresh install, updated, enabled desktop effects which downloaded nvidia drivers and rebooted, now it won't load gdm, removed nvidia-glx, still X fails to load?
[10:36] <gunspoja> Crozar, what the hell are you on about?
[10:36] <macd> codeane, you need to issue 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[10:36] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja, Crozar: you guys need to go out more, and maybe get laid sometime
[10:36] <edward> how do you reboot without rebooting your hardware?  (so Your HD doesn't power off?)
[10:36] <Crozar> maybe low level of intelligence in Computers , but not by talking to your brain for what optimum extent you reached,
[10:36] <codeane> macd, thx i'll try that
[10:36] <gunspoja> whoa, implying that I have no girlfriend...nice one, Davy_Jones
[10:36] <macd> slvmchn, SLI is supported, yes.
[10:36] <Crozar> i got a wife davy
[10:37] <Tarkus> anyone know how to change the ubuntu loading screen that comes up when you first boot the OS?
[10:37] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: oh, you have a girlfriend? what if you didn't?
[10:37] <Davy_Jones> heh
[10:37] <gunspoja> edward, restart the computer...

[10:38] <Asathoor> I have tried to remove windows, but now I have two installations of ubuntu. I's rather have one - and save all my settings. Is there a smart way to do this? How can I make a total system backup with all settings?
[10:38] <gunspoja> ah well, good luck to all with problems, I'm gonna go back to work

[10:38] <macd> Asathoor, yes, the links uboto provided are excellent
[10:39] <davina> how do i get synaptic package manager to install an earlier version of a package. i need libc6-dev and it wont install coz its version 2.6 and libc6 is 2.5
[10:40] <Davy_Jones> davina: update the repos
[10:40] <davina> i clicked update bot that didnt seeme to fix it
[10:40] <Davy_Jones> if you still can't find them, you have to wait till the mighty devs include it
[10:40] <macd> davina, you should look at apt-pinning to get a version from an earlier release of ubuntu
[10:41] <davina> is there something i can put in the command line like apt-get install libc6-dev 2.5.... or something?
[10:41] <macd> davina, the version synaptic wants to install won't? or you need a different version
[10:42] <codeane> ok, have the desktop back, now whats the best way to install nvidia drivers for an 8800 gtx?
[10:42] <Crozar> i have installed virtualbox but i dont see the launcher
[10:42] <davina> the version wont install coz it says its dependancy of libc6 2.6 doesnt exist,
[10:42] <edward> envy?
[10:42] <macd> codeane, by using the restricted driver for nvidia
[10:42] <jimmyww> back
[10:42] <davina> but the repo just has libc6 2.5 in it
[10:42] <Davy_Jones> davina: no, you have to wait for the developers to release the new virsion, or install from source.. what else can you do
[10:42] <jimmyww> so can anyone help me install ubuntu on to a usb without needing to boot in linux
[10:43] <Crozar> guys ihave downloaded and installed virtualbox but i dont see the launcher icon
[10:43] <jimmyww> please, im begging
[10:43] <macd> davina, you can do it by apt-pinning the package from gutsy. it is 2.6.1
[10:43] <davina> its frustraing coz i just wanted to write a simple C prog and i dont even have stdio.h
[10:43] <magnetron> davina: install build-essential
[10:43] <jimmyww> please
[10:43] <jimmyww> n anyone help me install ubuntu on to a usb without needing to boot in linux
[10:43] <macd> libc6 2.5 will work for that, can you try in console 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libc6-dev'
[10:43] <jimmyww> *can
[10:44] <davina> magnetron, ok i will try that thx
[10:44] <magnetron> !install | jimmyww
[10:44] <ubotu> jimmyww: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[10:44] <codeane> macd, thats how i got into trouble the 1st time but i'll give it another go
[10:45] <davina> i did sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get install libc6-dev and i get The following packages have unmet dependencies.
[10:45] <davina>   libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.6-2ubuntu2) but 2.5-0ubuntu14 is to be installed
[10:45] <davina> E: Broken packages
[10:47] <davina> aparently 2.6 is for gutsy and i'm on feisty, so i think ubuntu have messed up somewhere
[10:47] <davina> install build-essential doesnt work either :(
[10:48] <slvmchn> nice, thanks, macd
[10:48] <tsukasa> does anyone know how to get the super joybox 5 working with ubuntu?
[10:48] <tsukasa> ive tried modprobing various joystick drivers to no success
[10:48] <macd> davina, try sudo apt-get install -f linc6-dev
[10:49] <macd> libc*
[10:49] <tony_> hrbust
[10:49] <tsukasa> its a usb adapter for ps2 controllers
[10:50] <davina> macd; thx but that gives the same as with the -f
[10:50] <davina> *without
[10:52] <davina> i can live without it for now i guess, i can compile on my other distro so i have a work around, but gutsy will be out soon and i'll install that and i hope it will be fixed by then
[10:53] <codeane> installed restricted driver, rebooted, failed to start x, ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, rebooted, failed to start x, what else could i try?

[11:09] <intransit> Hello, how do I make VLC for example my default movie player ?

[11:09] <ubotu> To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[11:10] <[-CableGuy-] > hi all
[11:10] <seon> i want to manage by the net my ubuntu server from another pc do you think VNC is a good thing to manage security and network managemenet

[11:11] <Bupss> hi all
[11:11] <sirrus> intransit: this is either something you enable in VLC preferences, or you can right-click a file you wish to be played in VLC by default, and in the "Open with" section you select VLC
[11:11] <Bupss> i have a problem installing grub on a usb stick, can anyone help me?
[11:11] <intransit> yeah, only problem is VLC isn't in that list ??
[11:11] <intransit> I had a brief look in VLC couldn't find a preference
[11:11] <intransit> brb a tick
[11:11] <sirrus> intransit: no problem - you just use the command
[11:11] <[-CableGuy-] > help do any one know about gns3 or dynagen
[11:13] <sirrus> intransit: in the other section - it should display the filesystem. So all you need to do is correctly navigate to the vlc in /usr/bin (or wherever the link to it resides) and then hit the ok button
[11:13] <sirrus> it should work ok after it
[11:13] <Electrosys0> how do I get my usb drive going so that i can browse its files?
[11:13] <sirrus> Electro: if you have automounter enabled, it should pop up on your desktop
[11:14] <sirrus> from command line, you have to use the "mount" command. The filesystem type should be "vfat"
[11:14] <[-CableGuy-] > can any one help me with virus problem

[11:51] <ompaul> Chris40, read that web page, and no that is not how you do that kind of thing
[11:51] <Stormay> For Linux
[11:51] <Tar-Minyatur> Chris40, Google for SUID...might work for you instead.
[11:51] <Stormay> Ok
[11:51] <Kee1> does gparted show unformatted hard drives?
[11:52] <_Ahti> Kee1 Yes
[11:52] <ompaul> Kee1, yes
[11:52] <_Ahti> Kee1, try fdisk -l
[11:52] <Stormay> I installed Ubuntu on my portable hard drive, Then i took the CD out and portable hard drive i then restarted my PC as i had to go on Windows
[11:52] <_Ahti> (i think that's it)
[11:52] <Tar-Minyatur> keroro, If you're having problems with a notebook try tuxmobile.com
[11:52] <Stormay> When it starts to boot up it gives me Error 21
[11:52] <TuTUX> anybody can help me with my aptitude? it messed up, everytime i try to use it to install/remove something, it ask me to remove bunch of stuff automatically, i have to use apt-get instead... system is feisty btw
[11:52] <hmhowie> Stormay: oh, i understand. the first few sectors of a harddisk contain information about which operating system should be booted. because these sectors are too small nowadays to contain all the information, they tend to contain just an address pointing to the place the information about which operating system should be booted it kept. on your system, this now points to your external drive. you have to reinstall the windows boot loa
[11:52] <Kee1> _Ahti: came up with absolutely nothing
[11:52] <_Ahti> Nothing?
[11:52] <broomad> bsd, wtf? ^^
[11:52] <Chris40> i need to run script with this command "nohup ./open_sockets.pl &" on the startup (booting) with root access how can i do that ?
[11:52] <Stormay> What!!
[11:53] <_Ahti> fdisk -l /dev/s*
[11:53] <Stormay> How do i do that hmhowie
[11:53] <_Ahti> broomad, another Operating System, much more geekier than linux could ever be
[11:53] <_Ahti> :)
[11:53] <hmhowie> Kee1: gparted usually shows a list of all major devices it considers to be mass storage devices, if i remember correctly. what does /proc/partitions say?
[11:53] <Stormay> I cant re install windows XP seroisly ive got all me stuff on!!
[11:53] <keroro> Tell me if i buildup more Memory to 4Gb can less down the system harddisk usage?
[11:53] <hmhowie> Stormay: you'll have to ask someone who knows about windows boot loaders. i don't
[11:53] <Tar-Minyatur> Chris40, Write the call to a bash script, set owner of this file to root and afterwards chmod +sx yourfile.sh
[11:54] <Stormay> so basicly
[11:54] <Stormay> i installed this
[11:54] <void^> Stormay: search for you windows cd and do fixmbr, or install grub on the internal disk.
[11:54] <Stormay> it fucked my PC up
[11:54] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | Stormay
[11:54] <ubotu> Stormay: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:54] <Stormay> Um

[11:54] <keroro> Tell me if i buildup more Memory to 4Gb can less down the system harddisk usage?
[11:54] <Stormay> its my works PC
[11:54] <ompaul> Stormay, (A) you told it where to install (B) if you mucked up the install then we can help you (C) if you overwrite your windows partition that is your own fault
[11:54] <hmhowie> Kee1: i trust you're using a live cd
[11:55] <Tar-Minyatur> Chris40, Nope. Don't have the time. This almost was a step-by-step-instruction.
[11:55] <Kee1> hmhowie: yes
[11:55] <mete_888> I've installed apache. over http://10.0.0.5 I can access it, but why I can't access it from the internet (I've forwarded port 80 to 10.0.0.5)?
[11:55] <Tar-Minyatur> Chris40, You should do at least something on your own.
[11:55] <void^> Stormay: you did something that's "advanced", installing an os on an external disk. without having a clue about what you're doing. so don't wine about it. thanks.
[11:55] <Stormay> No, I installed it on my portable hard drive
[11:55] <Stormay> void i didnt know
[11:55] <Chris40> Tar-Minyatur: can u give me link to guide or some papers about that "bash" thing ?
[11:55] <Stormay> it had a list to choose from
[11:55] <hmhowie> Kee1: so the question is, why isn't it seeing your harddrive. have you got some sort of raid system?
[11:55] <Stormay> my portable
[11:55] <keroro> Tell me if i buildup more Memory to 4Gb can less down the system harddisk usage?

[11:56] <Tar-Minyatur> Chris40, That "bash thing" is the linux command line. You should find a lot about it using google or search in the various Ubuntu Wikis.
[11:56] <Kee1> and I checked the bios, it seems to be connected
[11:56] <Stormay> Wont be long going on a search party to find it
[11:56] <Kee1> might try installing windows and coming back a bit later
[11:56] <hmhowie> Kee1: that's unusual. if you know your make and model and type of harddrive, try submitting a bug report

[11:59] <tarelerulz> I followed the  ubuntu tutorial  on how to get encrypted dvds to play and I have gxine working and all ,but when I got to play dvd it plays ,but I don't get any sound with it .  No matter if I play say an ogg or the dvd
[11:59] <mravibsp> already done
[11:59] <mravibsp> with flash
[11:59] <hmhowie> mravibsp: have you restarted firefox since installing flash?
[12:00] <jonnymac> I need a ubuntu for idiots guide, need to learn where directories are, where stuff goes &c
[12:00] <hmhowie> jonnymac: what are you looking for atm?
[12:00] <mravibsp> ya was working good few days back then dont know what happen ...
[12:00] <mete_888> I've installed apache. over http://10.0.0.5 I can access it, but why I can't access it from the internet (I've forwarded port 80 to 10.0.0.5)?
[12:00] <jxxxt> jonnymac. Ubuntu unleashed is a good publication
[12:01] <hmhowie> mete_888: are you inside the network atm?
[12:01] <mete_888> yes hmhowie, the machine and router are here :)
[12:02] <jonnymac> well I just installed wine and it says in the help thing open the terminal and type cd into the directory where the .exe is located. But I hav no idea and don't particularly want to be bothering people with stoopid problems (don' too much of that already ;)
[12:02] <hmhowie> mete_888: my router doesn't allow me to do that. if i want to use the external address, i have to be outside the lan
[12:02] <TuTUX> ompaul, that's what the problem is, i use build compiz-fusion my self(no debs) and i dont want firefox-totem and other stuff installed, but with ubuntu-desktop they are all needed
[12:02] <mete_888> hmhowie I accessing from a other server to the apache from outside to test
[12:03] <mete_888> I'm accessing...
[12:03] <hmhowie> jonnymac: it just means navigate to where your windows executable is
[12:03] <TuTUX> ompaul, aptitude checks dependency too hard...
[12:03] <hmhowie> mete_888: 10.0.0.5 isn't working for me
[12:04] <mete_888> 10.0.0.5 is the internal adress ;)
[12:04] <mete_888> and why it should not work?
[12:04] <mete_888> It's a normal private IP range
[12:04] <hmhowie> mete_888: that would explain why it isn't working :)
[12:05] <mete_888> and with nat it must work from outside...
[12:05] <vsayikiran> i am not able to mount DVD disk, what could be the problem
[12:05] <hmhowie> mete_888: i've never used the 10.0 iprange :(
[12:05] <tarelerulz> I use an usb  mic and headset  and everything seem to use it . just not gxine
[12:05] <Crozar> ive installed VirtualBox and added the link to /etc/apt/sources.list , but the code whenever i try to apt-key add innotek.asc it says = gpg: no writable keyring found: eof
[12:05] <Crozar> gpg: error reading `innotek.asc': general error
[12:05] <Crozar> gpg: import from `innotek.asc' failed: general error
[12:05] <seon> hello how can i reconfigure my keyboard layout in console mode
[12:05] <hmhowie> mete_888: can you tell me your external ip so i can try it?
[12:05] <mete_888> I've forwarded ms rdt and that work... the prob is on the apache I think
[12:05] <eucalre> that's a secret
[12:05] <vsayikiran> i have got a problem with mounting DVD disk
[12:05] <vsayikiran> does anyone know how to mount DVD disk
[12:06] <mete_888> hmhowie, you can use http://darktown.no-ip.info or http://217.162.129.249
[12:06] <vsayikiran> when i mounted DVD disk it was showing invalid options
[12:06] <vsayikiran> does anyone know how to mount
[12:06] <mete_888> hmhowie you can try to connect with https, that will work, but it's forwarded to another machine ;)
[12:07] <Chris40> i used the command "sudo -i gedit /etc/rc.local" and added the lines "cd /opt/xampp/local/test/" and another line "nohup ./opensockets.pl &" but still the script dont work someone have an idea ?
[12:07] <hmhowie> mete_888: no response. have a look at your apache logs
[12:07] <vsayikiran> dvd disk how to mount please tell someone
[12:07] <Crozar> can some1 tell me how to run virtual box i have installed it from the site , but what next i finished adding source but key code wont let me , and we'res the app cant run it
[12:07] <vsayikiran> i want to mount a dvd disk please help me
[12:07] <hmhowie> mete_888: ping doesn't work either
[12:07] <vsayikiran> help wanted, i am not able to mount dvd disk
[12:07] <fredl_> I just installed Ubuntu 7.04 and it seems to be horrendously slow for some reason
[12:08] <mete_888> hmhowie, ping is blocked, try https://217.162.129.249    In the apache logs I haven't found anything
[12:08] <keroro> what is SUDO?
[12:08] <vsayikiran> does not anyone know how to mount dvd disk
[12:08] <Crozar> keroro: to give u admin rights
[12:08] <fredl_> I installed all the upgrades that were available but openoffice could not be configured succesfully
[12:08] <shriphani> vsayikiran: what happened ?
[12:08] <keroro> ...
[12:08] <vsayikiran> shriphani: thanx for replying
[12:09] <fredl_> my system seems to be at a constant load of near 2 yet 'top' doesn't show any process being busy
[12:09] <vsayikiran> shriphani: i am not able to mount dvd disk
[12:09] <shriphani> automount screwed ?
[12:09] <mete_888> fredl_ load isn't cpu load... ;)
[12:09] <hmhowie> mete_888: https does something (asks for a logging. encryption is from an unknown signing authority)
[12:09] <vsayikiran> shriphani: yes, when i inserted disk it showed invalid mount options
[12:10] <fredl_> mete_888: I know you're trying to cheer me up, or yourself. Thank you. Now please stop.
[12:10] <shriphani> vsayikiran: is there something like /dev/scd0 or is it /dev/hdc ?
[12:10] <hmhowie> mete_888: ^loggin^login
[12:10] <vsayikiran> shriphani: do you want to see my /etc/fstab options
[12:10] <fredl_> I'm really not in the mood for a semantics game.
[12:10] <mete_888> hmhowie jep, this is forwarded to another machine... so the prob is on the apache itself, or on the ubuntu machine
[12:10] <shriphani> well in /dev
[12:10] <tarelerulz> mplayer plays part of the dvd Then it can't play the rest .  gxine plays part of it too just no sound .
[12:10] <hmhowie> mete_888: you can view the apache server when you address the machine inside the lan?
[12:11] <vsayikiran> shriphani: jus wait i will call you
[12:11] <Crozar> can som1 tell me how to ( RUN ) virtual box .
[12:11] <mete_888> hmhowie yes, that work
[12:11] <holycow> hmhowie: some dvd's just can't be played because of the encryption
[12:11] <jonnymac> does anybody here use utorent with wine?
[12:11] <holycow> decss works great at cracking the keys most of the time but once in a while it cannot
[12:11] <hmhowie> mete_888: then you must have a problem with nat in your gateway, i'd have thought
[12:11] <Rageon> VMware wouldnt run with 512 DDR ram and Althlon XP 2000+ correct?
[12:12] <chinasky> jonnymac: install wine, download utorrent and run wine utorrent
[12:12] <tarelerulz> I understand encryption . I did the installs that ubuntu says to do to play dvds with encryption ,but it is the sound part that throws me .
[12:12] <mete_888> hmhowie if I forward the port to my windows machine which has apache, it work correctly xD
[12:12] <Crozar> i got a problem running virtualbox , and yes i have installed it succesfully i added the link to my source file and thats it
[12:12] <mm23> hello all, last week i installed new HDD to my hardware , but the problem each time i turn-on the computer i have to mount the drive ?
[12:12] <jonnymac> did that, but the download screen that lists the downloads is all black and no downloads are registering
[12:12] <Lanken> is there a name for programs like filelight, that show you how your disk space usage breaks down?
[12:13] <hmhowie> mete_888: i don't see why apache would answer a query from a computer inside the lan but not one from outside the lan. do you have some sort of additional firewall instlaled on the ubuntu machine?
[12:14] <tarelerulz> because it seem to play the dvd so if the encryption was off I would not think anything would come up
[12:14] <chinasky> jonnymac: to me appears all in black except the  torrents downloading,in the system tray double click on it
[12:14] <ompaul> Lanken, try this, click on places home, then when that program launches choose View - list and see if that helps, you can also start a terminal and type either "df -h" or "du -h | less"
[12:14] <Rageon> everyone was going X-Chat is a awesome IRC client with heaps of scripts.. has to be the most basic IRC client ive ever used :x

[12:37] <tarelerulz> I have not got to the part where it cuts off
[12:37] <Stormmm> ompaul: Ok hold on
[12:38] <tarelerulz> This is some wierd stuff.   Mplayer now seem to play farther then it did before .
[12:38] <Stormmm> ok then when i do find /boot/grub/stage1
[12:38] <Stormmm> it gives me Error
[12:39] <tarelerulz> I swear when I went to chapter 2 it stopped and now it don't .
[12:39] <holycow> tarelerulz: that is correct
[12:40] <holycow> its decrypting two separate streams simultaneously
[12:40] <Stormmm> ompaul: What can i do its giving me error 15s
[12:40] <perwira> hi
[12:40] <holycow> mplayer playing further is also correct
[12:40] <holycow> it won't always crash on exactly the same spot, usually 'around' it
[12:40] <Rapax> Have any of you ever had trouble with desktop launchers in Gnome?
[12:40] <tarelerulz> Holycow  is playing farther then it before and I did the same thing
[12:40] <holycow> its a decryption problem you can't get around that
[12:40] <holycow> rent another dvd or something
[12:41] <holycow> tarelerulz: i know, i'm trying to get you to undestand that its a decryption problem
[12:41] <holycow> and that you won't solve it by banging your head against a wall
[12:41] <Stormmm> oh crap ive got work in
[12:41] <holycow> rent a nother dvd
[12:41] <Stormmm> 30 mins and no computer :@
[12:41] <ompaul> Stormmm, go to the food of that page and read stuff
[12:41] <tarelerulz> Holycow you  you don't know it might help to hit my head upside a wall. haha.
[12:41] <ompaul> Stormmm, and if a virus took out the drive you would be in the same boat
[12:42] <holycow> tarelerulz: lol, perhaps
[12:42] <holycow> tarelerulz: the only optio nis to use a proprietary licenced dvd player
[12:42] <tarelerulz> Holycow the sound part with gxine ?  it don't seem to make sound when I play ogg or avi on my computer
[12:42] <holycow> dvd playback is actually a scam
[12:42] <holycow> you pay for the dvd
[12:43] <holycow> the studio pay for the encryption
[12:43] <Stormmm> ompaul: Ok i cant do any of the steps its telling me the file is NOTT found!
[12:43] <holycow> and guess what?
[12:43] <holycow> you also pay when you buy a legal dvd player
[12:43] <Rapax> My first time here...is there any specific 'etiquette' to asking a question? Don't want to get dumped for being a loud obnoxious nnob :)
[12:43] <Stormmm> ompaul: do i have to download somthing?
[12:43] <ompaul> Stormmm, reading a web page on http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Troubleshooting.html#Troubleshooting
[12:43] <Stormmm> Can i do this within 20 minutes?
[12:43] <ompaul> Stormmm, maybe
[12:43] <holycow> and legal dvd players that pay for the licence to decrypt dvds also haveto sign a contract that says THEY CANNOT allow viewerd to skip over the front end commercials
[12:43] <irvken> how cam I find shares on the network and automount them a t boottime
[12:43] <ompaul> but not if you keep asking me
[12:43] <holycow> so something YOU BOUGHT you cannot even use
[12:44] <holycow> overall decss is actually superb and works about 99.999 percent of the time
[12:44] <holycow> you hit the one dvd that doesn't
[12:44] <Stormmm> ompaul: please tell me ill pay you $5
[12:44] <holycow> but you will be able to skip all those commercials and fbi nonsense and actually use a TOOL YOU OWN how you want
[12:44] <holycow> so chuck the dvd and don't put up with that nonsense and rent one that works
[12:44] <Rapax> take the DVD back to the store...tell them it's broken, and demand your money back.
[12:44] <tarelerulz> Holycow the hot part is I all readly wanted the movie before. So that is lame haha
[12:44] <mahone> When will Ubuntu JeOS come out?
[12:45] <Stormmm> HELPPPPPP!!!!
[12:45] <ompaul> Stormmm, ehh I pointed you at it - I don't have physical access to said box
[12:45] <Stormmm> SOMOPNE PELESE
[12:46] <Stormmm> this is taking the mick is this
[12:46] <holycow> actually, what Rapax said works, they will exchange it
[12:46] <Stormmm> Im late for work already
[12:46] <Stormmm> its giving me loads of erorrs
[12:46] <Stormmm> like eorror 15
[12:46] <ompaul> !patience | Stormmm

[12:46] <Rapax> Stormmm: What DVD are we talking about here?
[12:47] <Stormmm> the livecd thing
[12:47] <Stormmm> i downloaded
[12:47] <revx> can VLC run on ubuntu 5.10?
[12:47] <ompaul> Rapax, he is going from one end of the scale to grub is broken
[12:47] <Stormmm> and i insatlled it on my portable hard drive now i cant get back on unless iput my CD back in
[12:47] <tarelerulz> I am playing a  avi file with gxine and it don't make sound . SO what is up with that. I mean mplayer make sound with my usb sound card
[12:47] <ompaul> revx, that is way out of support I suggest you get something a bit more useful and it will
[12:48] <revx> i see ok i should upgrade my distro
[12:48] <ompaul> Stormmm, I am gone away in 10 seconds
[12:48] <Stormmm> ompaul:
[12:48] <Stormmm> Please tlell me or help me
[12:49] <Stormmm> when im follwoing them commands
[12:49] <Stormmm> its not working
[12:49] <ompaul> revx, yes go to http://www.ubuntu.com/ and tcheck out download
[12:49] <Stormmm> its giving me Error 15 file not found
[12:49] <ompaul> Stormmm, search for it, there are many many guides and trust in yourself
[12:49] <Stormmm> ompaul: listen
[12:49] <Rapax> Stormmm: So you downloaded the live-CD (Feisty? Gutsy?), booted from it, and then installed it to a USB drive? Right so far?
[12:49] <Stormmm> ues Rapax
[12:49] <Stormmm> *Yes Rapax
[12:50] <Stormmm> Now when i take the CD out and reboot it gives me GRUB 21 error
[12:50] <Rapax> And now? You can only boot from your UBS drive, or what's the problem?
[12:50] <Rapax> I see
[12:50] <Stormmm> No i can only boot from the CD
[12:51] <Rapax> what does your /boot/grub/menu.lst file look like?
[12:51] <BobSapp> Anyone got any experiences using Xgl with gutsy?
[12:51] <Stormmm> Rapax: What do you sugest i do now?
[12:52] <Stormmm> How do i open it?
[12:52] <Rapax> Stormmm: Have you googled to see what grub error 21 is?
[12:52] <Stormmm> I'm afraid i cant
[12:52] <Stormmm> I've got 10 minutes till work
[12:52] <Stormmm> Im already 45 minutes late due to this porblem
[12:53] <Rapax> Ok, I've done it for you: It means that the 'selected disk' does not exist
[12:53] <Stormmm> Ok, How do i fix that?
[12:53] <Rapax> So, I'd guess that probably, grub references the mounted Live-CD in it list
[12:53] <jimmacdonald> Is there a simple way to change my hostname?
[12:54] <Stormmm> ok, How do i do that?
[12:54] <Rapax> now if you try and start without the cd, it will complain about a missing disk
[12:54] <Rapax> what OS are you running right now?
[12:54] <Stormmm> I'm on Unbuntu Linux but i need to get on XP
[12:54] <Stormmm> Home
[12:54] <Stormmm> When i boot my pc up complains of a Grub 21 error
[12:55] <Topsun> jimmacdonald: you have to edit /etc/hostname and probably /etc/hosts
[12:55] <Stormmm> Oh shit
[12:55] <Stormmm> when i plug my portable hard drive in
[12:55] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | Stormmm
[12:55] <ubotu> Stormmm: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:55] <Stormmm> It finds all them files
[12:55] <Rapax> open a terminal, and try "less /boot/grub/menu.lst"   without the quotes
[12:55] <BobSapp> sounds like he is panicking
[12:56] <Rapax> towards the end of the file, you'll see the various disks that are listed as bootable
[12:56] <Stormmm> It says boot/gruv/menu.lst : no such file...
[12:56] <Rapax> grub
[12:56] <Rapax> not gruv
[12:56] <Stormmm> yeh thats what i done
[12:56] <Stormmm> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ less /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:56] <Stormmm> /boot/grub/menu.lst: No such file or directory
[12:56] <Stormmm> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ less /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:57] <Stormmm> There
[12:57] <Rapax> Hmmm....
[12:57] <Rapax> weird
[12:57] <Stormmm> I can see the files that are on my portable drive
[12:57] <Stormmm> but not the ones on my internal

[01:14] <ubotu> Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de
[01:14] <holycow> or whtever else is in the repos for ease of install
[01:14] <dekc> can anyone help me
[01:14] <dekc> srg
[01:14] <c3p0> is kdm better then gdm ?
[01:14] <hmhowie> cursty87_: das ist nicht notwenigerweise problematisch. frag mal in #ubuntu-de nach
[01:14] <c3p0> ive always used gdm
[01:14] <se-agapo> holycow i donwload one from art manager
[01:14] <holycow> c3p0: kde people say yes
[01:14] <cursty87_> hmhowie, da hilft mir keiner
[01:14] <somenewnick> Can topsun read my PMs?
[01:15] <c3p0> but whats the ratio of KDE to GDE?
[01:15] <Topsun> somenewnick: no
[01:15] <holycow> se-agapo: sounds like you downloaded a login manager theme
[01:15] <se-agapo> holycow but i dont know how to change
[01:15] <hmhowie> cursty87_: well, this is an english speaking channel ;)
[01:15] <somenewnick> WHY THE HELL??? I am goin kraqzy in this ultradense chat cannnot keep track fo my questions and answers!
[01:15] <oMish_> which package will install manpages for pthreads ?
[01:15] <se-agapo> holycow from the art manager you can download and login manager
[01:15] <cursty87_> hmhowie, i know but i really need help
[01:15] <somenewnick> Topsun plz pm me
[01:16] <doug__> how do i add this codec   drvc.so?
[01:16] <hmhowie> cursty87_: what are you trying to do with the usb port? try opening a terminal, typing "tail -f /var/log/messages" and then plugging something into the usb port
[01:17] <somenewnick> bah...I cannot get a single advice from here...I loose hours of conversations for no info....how newbies are supposed to learn? Increbilbe..
[01:17] <Topsun> somenewnick: unfortunately i have no idea how to help you with your hybernation problem :(
[01:17] <se-agapo> holycow have you found it ?
[01:17] <holycow> found what?
[01:17] <holycow> you expect me to do work for you?
[01:17] <holycow> wow.
[01:17] <doug__> how do i add this codec   drvc.so?
[01:18] <cursty87_> hmhowie, i did nothing, lspci say unknown device, and another man sad to me i have to search for amp an download a driver for this card
[01:18] <se-agapo> sorry for asking
[01:18] <Tarkus> what fields/industries work with linux as opposed to windows? (i know VFX production for film/games is almost non existent in linux, web design typically is done on windows or mac os, and i dont know how software developers would work since its all free/non-profit)
[01:18] <holycow> se-agapo: not really trying to be rude.  not sure what you want me to look for.
[01:18] <holycow> se-agapo: typically you won't be downloading a login manager from anywher eonline
[01:19] <ProN00b> is there any way to not display any icons on the desktop temporarily ?
[01:19] <holycow> to compile and install something like that is a fairly sophisticated process
[01:19] <hmhowie> cursty87_: just because linux doesn't know the name of the device, doesn't mean that it doesn't work properly. have you tried using the port?
[01:19] <Topsun> just wondering if every new user wants a guided tour through Linux :/
[01:19] <holycow> chances are you downloaded a login manager theme
[01:19] <doug__> how do i add this codec   drvc.so?
[01:19] <holycow> if you want to try different login managers, open up synaptic and install kdm or gdm or xdm and play around
[01:19] <holycow> just make sure you have backed up all your data
[01:19] <holycow> first
[01:19] <holycow> dont be trying to install whatever you downloaded
[01:20] <se-agapo> holycow i just did and you download from the art manager and go art >other themes and there is login manager
[01:20] <holycow> so what is the problem then?
[01:21] <se-agapo> you can download the file but i dont know how to install is
[01:21] <cursty87_> hmhowie, using the port? i typed tail -f /var/log/messages and pluged in my usb stick, nothing in var /log/messages
[01:21] <holycow> ahhhhhh
[01:21] <doug__> how do i add this codec   drvc.so?
[01:21] <astro76> !repeat | doug__
[01:21] <holycow> okay ... se-agapo okay i can give you answers to complicated things, simple things are not my forte :)
[01:21] <ubotu> doug__: 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
[01:21] <holycow> i don't spend much time tryhing out themes, eheh!
[01:21] <Enselic> doug__: what app and what cntext?
[01:21] <holycow> se-agapo: sorry about that, maybe someone else knows
[01:22] <se-agapo> holycow ok thanks
[01:22] <hmhowie> cursty87_: that's a bad sign. do you know what make and model your card is? maybe open the case and inspect the card, then google for it, or ask on ubuntuforums.org

[01:23] <BMT> thanks
[01:23] <Tarkus> i've been using linux for a few months, and im wondering. do any linux users work with linux as their job? because i dont see how developing free software can produce an income.. and doing graphics/vfx is not an option in linux, because all the (decent) production software is for windows..
[01:24] <Enselic> doug_: what file are you trying to play? you proably could just double-click it, totem will ask if youwant to install the required codec
[01:24] <se-agapo> since you can give answers in complicated things can you pls tell me how can i find and install the built in drivers for my 1.3 mp camera ?
[01:24] <holycow> Tarkus: i make my living with linux
[01:24] <holycow> we do everything on linux
[01:25] <holycow> from sysadming, to servers to workstations
[01:25] <holycow> to development

[01:25] <Enselic> !codecs | doug__ this might give enough ifno
[01:25] <ubotu> doug__ this might give enough ifno: 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

[01:26] <abbe> how do i do that? :S
[01:27] <Enselic> um, change to cd 2?
[01:27] <abbe> yes:D
[01:27] <cursty87_> hmhowie, i dont know what i can still do

[01:27] <abbe> yes it was like that :S :
[01:27] <abbe> :D
[01:28] <Enselic> rubidion: see if you get the same problem when you log into a new account

[01:30] <vik> Is it possible to automatically run a particular program when a particular usb stick is plugged in?
[01:30] <Enselic> vik: yes, with the highest probability
[01:31] <holycow> anandanbu: that could be a very interesting way to help promote the community idea and promote the project
[01:31] <holycow> anandanbu: nice thinking
[01:31] <mete_888> how I can configure all interfaces new?
[01:31] <vik> Enselic: OK thanks; see ya
[01:31] <BMT2> can you create flash websites on linux ?

[01:31] <Enselic> BMT2: aaaargh! why would the world need another flash website?
[01:31] <holycow> anandanbu: if thats not clear in and of it self, i'm not going to bother trying to explain it

[01:32] <BMT2> Enselic: just wanted to see if this was possible...sorry !  lol
[01:32] <holycow> BMT2: well you can run certain versions of flash ide via wine or crossover office on linux ...
[01:32] <anandanbu> holycow: i just asked is it possible to get a e-mail id as mentioned
[01:32] <holycow> ... i haven't seen it work very well at all acctually.  so probably the answer is maybe but not really
[01:32] <holycow> anandanbu: and i responded on several different levels
[01:32] <Enselic> vik: nop, but I belive people in ##linux might know
[01:32] <holycow> if you have a hard time with that, well okay ... maybe english is a second language

[01:35] <bmt2> how can i verify that i have java JRE and JDK installed on my system.....i remember doing it but i wanted to verify...and i think i used apt-get to install both of them
[01:35] <void^> bmt2: java -version
[01:35] <mm23> i have installed new HDD , when i mount the drive manually he get the name "disk" how can i auto-mount this drive ?
[01:36] <anandanbu> astro76: Thanks for that
[01:36] <bmt2> void^: this will verify if i have both the JRE and the JDK installed ?
[01:36] <void^> bmt2: javac -version
[01:36] <bmt2> void^: thakns
[01:36] <bmt2> void^: thanks
[01:37] <MetaL-1> Hello all
[01:38] <bmt2> isn't there a way to verify if you have a program installed with apt-get ...granted you used apt-get to install the program ?
[01:38] <nbkr> bmt2, dpkg -l shows the installed applications.
[01:39] <void^> bmt2: 'dpkg -l | grep jdk' and some other ways, but it depends on you knowing either (part of) the package name or the filename with full path of a file in the package
[01:40] <void^> bmt2: scratch that, 'dpkg -S javac' works nicely
[01:41] <Zergiu> hello
[01:41] <Leon_home> hello, need some help here plz, how i remove java from my ubuntu ?
[01:42] <nbkr> Leon_home, How did you install it?
[01:42] <Topsun> Leon_home: try using synaptic
[01:42] <idefix> why do people almost always close their conversation window after two minutes of inactivity? is it automatically in windows or linus the case?
[01:43] <idefix> I'm talking about GAIM btw
[01:43] <Leon_home> topsun: my friend installed the java, i think he used synaptic .. what should i search in the synaptic ?
[01:43] <Topsun> Leon_home: java
[01:43] <nbkr> Leon_home, dpkg -l | grep java
[01:43] <DjViper> Leon_home: why do you want to remove it?
[01:44] <DjViper> idefix: neatfreaks? my windows doesn't close hehe
[01:45] <MetaL-1> Talk about a pickle.  I dug out a webcam I was going to use for a project on my roof but I can't seem to get the darned thing to work.  It shows up when I do lsusb with a vendor ID of 0553:002 which I believe is the same as the old terracam's and whatnot.  I thought those were supported natively with Fiery'
[01:45] <Leon_home> DjViper: i think my friend didnt remove the old jave form the ubuntu , i am trying to run some software and i get msg java not found
[01:45] <DjViper> Leon_home: just reinstall java then, it should figure out what it needs and don't needs etc
[01:45] <Topsun> idefix: maybe their routers are closing the connections due to inactivity
[01:46] <Leon_home> DjViper: how can i reinstall java from the terminal ?
[01:46] <doug__> how do i add this codec   drvc.so?
[01:46] <MetaL-1> Even camorama cant connect to video0 - but it is definately present
[01:47] <mete_888> if I try: ifdown eth0  it says: interface not configured... but in ifconfig I see the eth0 iterface.. what's going on? xD
[01:47] <Topsun> mete_888: does it have an ip?
[01:47] <barry_trotter> hello
[01:47] <cat_loic> hi
[01:47] <cat_loic> I wanted to go to ubuntu-fr, sorry :p
[01:48] <doug__> Video codec 'Real Video 4.0' is not handled. You might need to install additional plugins to be able to play some types of movies                         how do i fix this?
[01:48] <barry_trotter> heu yes me too
[01:48] <mete_888> Topsun, jep, and I can ping it
[01:48] <holycow> doug__: enably universe and search for real video codecs
[01:48] <cat_loic> ^^ bye
[01:48] <Leon_home> DjViper: ok , i did it ... i uninstall java ...what is better ? installing the java from the synaptic or from terminal by "apt-get" ?
[01:48] <holycow> Leon_home: its eact same
[01:48] <gurkburk_> isnt that the same thing?
[01:48] <holycow> synaptic uses apt
[01:48] <doug__> holycow: how i do that?
[01:49] <Leon_home> ok
[01:49] <holycow> !universe

[01:49] <mete_888> Topsun other ideas? ;)
[01:50] <ProN00b> Leon_home, what matters is that you install the right java... the one you need (there is sun java 5 and 6 as well as gcj, you propably want sun java 5 (or 6))#
[01:50] <Topsun> mete_888: you can use --force :)
[01:51] <gurkburk_> I actually have a little problem that im guessing is very common, gonna run it by you guys. I have 2 disks I wanto acces in both under winXP and Ubuntu. Currently, they have 1 partition each taking 100% space, in NTFS. They are 200/300GB respectively. Im both having some problems with this in linux, to say the least, and im also worried about the ntfs being a bit "experimental" under linux, cant risc loosing any data really :p
[01:51] <gurkburk_> what would be the ideal way to go about this?
[01:51] <gurkburk_> FAT cant really handle 2/300 GB partitions in a single table, afaik..
[01:52] <mete_888> Topsun, than it says: SIOCDELRT: No such process
[01:52] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, read only ntfs not an option ?
[01:52] <gurkburk_> well, no not really, atleast not on the 300GB disk, which is the one im having most problems with.
[01:52] <gurkburk_> perhaps because its "so big", im not sure.
[01:52] <Topsun> gurkburk_: use ext2/3 driver for windows
[01:52] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, huh, what is the actual problem ?
[01:52] <doug__> holycow:  i did and am getting samething
[01:53] <tommax1083> hi all, i have a problem with firefox...
[01:53] <gurkburk_> well both mounting it and making ntfs-3g is very dodgy, randomly works, is the best description I suppose.
[01:53] <Topsun> mete_888: and a previously used 'ifup'?
[01:53] <gurkburk_> And every 4th or 5th reboot in linux the graphical ntfs-3g manager complains over various different errors on that disc.
[01:53] <mete_888> Topsun the iface was configured after boot..
[01:53] <tommax1083> now i have install xubuntu...all program run ok....but firefox have a problem...the font of the menu and the status bar are too big!
[01:54] <Leon_home> what i should write in order to install java ? sudo apt-get install _______
[01:54] <Leon_home> ?
[01:54] <gurkburk_> Windows cant read ext2 can it?
[01:54] <tommax1083> ...i have install firefox-granparadiso and are all ok
[01:54] <ProN00b> uuh, thats bad, ntfs-3g worked kinda automagically, but what is that graphical ntfs-3g manager you are talking about ?
[01:54] <kbrosnan> tommax1083: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Pane_and_menu_fonts
[01:54] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, windows can read ext2 with a driver
[01:54] <IrishDave> hey, how do i connect to a UFS folder share? or how do i mount it?
[01:55] <Topsun> mete_888: according to man ifdown 'records  can  become  inconsistent  with  the  real  states of the interfaces'
[01:55] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, if those drives are not external ones for quick moving, that is actually a pretty good solution
[01:55] <gurkburk_> its a program that ended up in applications -> System Tools, called NTFS-3G Configuration Tool
[01:55] <tommax1083> kbrosnan: thanks so much!!!!!!!!! :)
[01:55] <MetaL-1> Even camorama cant connect to video0 - but it is definately present
[01:55] <mete_888> Topsun how can I configure the hole networking new?
[01:55] <MetaL-1> Talk about a pickle.  I dug out a webcam I was going to use for a project on my roof but I can't seem to get the darned thing to work.  It shows up when I do lsusb with a vendor ID of 0553:002 which I believe is the same as the old terracam's and whatnot.  I thought those were supported natively with Fiery'
[01:55] <gurkburk_> ok, so windows can actually read ext2, didnt know that, however, can it write to it aswell?
[01:55] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, that shows you errors ? it only allows me to enable/disable write support
[01:56] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, yeah, there is a read/write driver for it
[01:56] <IrishDave> hey, how do i connect to a NFS folder share? or how do i mount it?
[01:56] <gurkburk_> ah right, didnt know that, should solve my problems actually if its possible, ill google some on ext2 and windows :)
[01:56] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, did you try windows scandisk on those ntfs drives ?
[01:56] <POVaddct> gurkburk_: windows cannot read or write ext2 without installing a driver for it. but there is one.
[01:56] <Topsun> mete_888: either Syste->Administration->Network or /etc/network/interfaces
[01:56] <gurkburk_> partially, I get errors when I try checking and enabling the 300GB disk. However, the 200/300GB doesnt always show up, bit random really.
[01:57] <gurkburk_> yeah ive run windows "check disk" tool on both discs, incase there was some table error or whatever, somewhere
[01:57] <mete_888> Topsun okay, thx
[01:57] <gurkburk_> if I check the 300GB disk with "fdisk -l" I get a dodgy reply tbh
[01:57] <gurkburk_> /dev/sdc1               2      620178   312569208    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
[01:57] <gurkburk_> /dev/sdc5               2      620177   312568672+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[01:58] <MetaL-1> =/
[01:58] <gurkburk_> The 200GB (for example, have several discs) just has a NTFS_-partition
[01:58] <ProN00b> hmm, ok, might be a problem with windows preexistant ntfs formation, (ntfs-3g worked perfectly for me so far, but i only used it from linux only, no windows access at all)
[01:58] <gurkburk_> I have 2 more discs, one scsi and one sata, and those 2 have worked 100% error free. Its these 2 that's been acting a bit weird.
[01:59] <gurkburk_> Im guessing either ubuntu or ntfs-3g somehow auto-mounts/fixes discs on boot, because i tried removing both of em completely from my fstab-file but they were back after a reboot :-p
[01:59] <ProN00b> hmm, the fdisk looks normal to me, a ntfs partition in an extended win partition
[01:59] <gurkburk_> ok, the other disc, 200GB, looks like this:
[01:59] <Rageon> anyone got google talk working with pidgin?
[01:59] <gurkburk_> /dev/sda1   *           1       24791   199133676    7  HPFS/NTFS
[01:59] <bullgard4> What is the relationship of 'diff' command and 'diff file'?
[01:59] <gurkburk_> no W95 ext table on it.
[02:00] <POVaddct> bullgard4: a diff file is the output of diff written to a file
[02:00] <gurkburk_> and that disc has worked alot smoother in ubuntu then the other one :-p
[02:00] <ProN00b> well, then its a primary partition afaik
[02:00] <bullgard4> POVaddct: Thank you for explaining.
[02:00] <gurkburk_> oh so thats the difference? Havent even thought about that, both are just extra storage-discs so havent really thought about it.
[02:00] <ProN00b> hmm, maybe you can turn that extended partition into a primary one from windows somehow
[02:00] <swiftnomad> Hello-- how do you use a pl script?
[02:00] <gurkburk_> but right, hafto figure out a way to empty one disc at a time, and convert em to ext2 ;-)
[02:01] <secher> hmm whats the process firefox called when i want to "killall"??
[02:01] <gurkburk_> thanks for the help Pro, could solve some future headaches :)
[02:01] <swiftnomad> hello-- anyone know how to use a perl script?
[02:01] <ryan_> try pkill firefox
[02:01] <Rageon> is their a linux IM that everyone uses?
[02:01] <void^> you can turn extend partitions into primary with fdisk easily enough, but it's a scary thing to do and usually not necessary ;)
[02:01] <Zergiu> hello , after executing the command ./configure to install aMSN , it sais to use "make" , I get a lot of errors , any suggestions?
[02:01] <gurkburk_> hmm btw, is there a way to "disable" automounting of those 2 sata-discs btw? I would prefer to just manually tell my fstab wtf todo really.
[02:01] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, just recreating the partition as a Primary ntfs partition from linux might also do some good in case you don't want that driver (i don't, at least not on my external disks)
[02:02] <secher> ryan_, perfect thanks
[02:02] <swiftnomad> Zergiu, should check out Kopete
[02:02] <swiftnomad> Search in Add/Remove
[02:02] <Zergiu> ok
[02:02] <gurkburk_> I cannot risc loosing any data on any of these discs, I dont have any backup atm, and some important lab-codes and shit on em, so im gonna be easy on the manipulating tables while data on em, for now ;)
[02:03] <ProN00b> Zergiu, don't customcompile... just install from synaptic/apt-get
[02:03] <Topsun> swiftnomad: perl scriptname
[02:04] <livingdaylight> is it easy to change my username?
[02:04] <Topsun> livingdaylight: yes
[02:05] <ProN00b> Zergiu, the popular choices are gaim/pidgin (Gnome) as well as Kopete (KDE) (both have msn, yahoo, aim, icq and more), and it is suggested that you install from synaptic/apt-get when ever you can
[02:05] <ogzy> hi, is there a difference between installing ubuntu+kde and kubuntu, from the point of view the usage and the stabilitiy?
[02:05] <livingdaylight> Topsun, how?
[02:05] <Zergiu> ok ProN00b
[02:05] <gurkburk_> Offtopic: get coffe and read http://thepiratebay.org/blog/86 :)
[02:05] <Zergiu> installed kopete
[02:05] <Topsun> livingdaylight: System->Administration->Users and Groups
[02:05] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, is that the article saying they are suing media mobsters now ?
[02:05] <gurkburk_> aye
[02:06] <Zergiu> but now I ./configure amsn , don't I have to desinstall or something?
[02:06] <Rageon> how do i bind my mouse thumb button to backspace?
[02:06] <Rageon> or back
[02:06] <gurkburk_> there's been talk on some closed forums about it for while now, theyve been suspecting stuff like that for a longer period of time, however theyve pretty much just been regarded as whining teenaging geeks
[02:06] <ProN00b> ogzy, if you install the kde-desktop (or something like that) metapackage, and not just kde, then it should be the same
[02:07] <kersinc> #ubuntu-es
[02:07] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, well, lets see
[02:07] <nbkr> Anyone know if it is possilbe to use a logitech mobile pro bluetooth headset with ubuntu 7.04?
[02:07] <gurkburk_> kinda interesting that there might actually be some truth behind it
[02:07] <ogzy> ProN00b: so the difference is ubunutu comes with Gnome but Kubunut is Kde installe default right?
[02:08] <ogzy> ProN00b: and whenever needed at Kubuntu it is possible to install gnome desktop?
[02:08] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, well, you read on that internal mail leak from that media witchhunt company
[02:08] <MattUK> ogzy: yes
[02:08] <ogzy> MattUK: ok thanx

[02:10] <[aL] Storm> Hi, Im having a problem with my USB drive since i installed linux on it!
[02:10] <[aL] Storm> Its not showing on windows
[02:10] <Zergiu> ehm , after installing kopete with add/remove , how do I execute it?
[02:10] <ProN00b> [aL] Storm, LOL
[02:10] <void^> [aL] Storm: ... install an ext2 driver your windows.
[02:11] <silk_sword> helli friends how r u all .....i need help i installed the squid but i cant fugure it out plz i am nw in this sweet ubuntu OS
[02:11] <POVaddct> [aL] Storm: of course. windows cannot read ext2 filesystem. however, there is a driver: http://www.fs-driver.org/
[02:11] <ProN00b> [aL] Storm, you can't have both the cake and eat it too
[02:12] <livingdaylight> Ubuntu doesn't let us have a double barrel username ?
[02:12] <ProN00b> [aL] Storm, a different solution to whats suggested here correctly (ext2 driver on win) might be keeping a part(-ition) of the disk on fat32 so it can be read by any winpoop box plug-and-play
[02:13] <silk_sword> hello
[02:13] <golden_tie> hello
[02:13] <void^> silk_sword: i think you should look for (and read) a squid howto.
[02:15] <golden_tie> from where i can get this HOW TO ??
[02:15] <ProN00b> golden_tie, what do you need squid for ?
[02:15] <Zergiu> so can someone tell me what do I have to do after install kopete from add/remove
[02:15] <golden_tie> i need squid for caching in my office network
[02:16] <ProN00b> Zergiu, well, maybe start it ?
[02:16] <void^> googling for "squid howto" seems to produce decent results..
[02:16] <golden_tie> for fast browsing
[02:16] <guardian> hi
[02:16] <golden_tie> hi
[02:16] <ProN00b> golden_tie, wow, you at least know what you need it for
[02:16] <dystopianray> golden_tie: there are dozens of squid guides on google
[02:16] <SasquatchNL>  can someone tell me how to change the screensaver settings in xubuntu? my apps > settings > screensaver settings won't work, get a missing plugin error
[02:16] <Zergiu> how do I start it
[02:16] <dystopianray> Zergiu: what do you mean?
[02:16] <guardian> i upgraded gutsy this morning, and xorg doesn't work anymore: it shows me a configuration screen but even if i choose the correct screen and video adapter it fails :( any idea please ?
[02:16] <dystopianray> Zergiu: press alt+f2 and type 'kopete'
[02:16] <Zergiu> ok , thank you
[02:16] <dystopianray> !gutsy | guardian
[02:16] <ubotu> guardian: 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
[02:16] <livingdaylight> can i have a username in Ubuntu : Conrad Linde ?
[02:17] <ProN00b> Zergiu, well, klick applications, then internet, then klick kopete
[02:17] <Zergiu> not there
[02:17] <ProN00b> Zergiu, that can't be
[02:17] <Zergiu> and says couldn't find file in alt+f
[02:17] <ProN00b> search the other menus
[02:17] <golden_tie> dystopianray:    ProN00b:    yes i know but i cant fugure it out ...2nd i read many how to but still in dark
[02:17] <Zergiu> maybe it didn't install , let me check ad-remove
[02:17] <dystopianray> livingdaylight: i don't think you can have spaces in a username, you can have that name associated with a user though
[02:17] <ProN00b> Zergiu, your kubuntu must be broken
[02:17] <guardian> thx
[02:17] <Bupsss> hi
[02:17] <dystopianray> golden_tie: which part are you having trouble understanding?
[02:17] <Zergiu> kubuntu?
[02:17] <Bupsss> who ever tried this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405990&highlight=broadcom
[02:17] <ProN00b> Zergiu, do you have ubuntu or kubuntu ? (kde or gnome)
[02:17] <Zergiu> isn't this ubuntu?
[02:17] <D4N`> sup?
[02:17] <D4N`> you tell me
[02:17] <golden_tie> to set it
[02:18] <Zergiu> gnome
[02:18] <livingdaylight> dystopianray, yes, but in xp i have it like this... linux doesn't allow it though
[02:18] <Topsun> livingdaylight: you can use it as 'Full Name'
[02:18] <dystopianray> livingdaylight: linux isn't windows
[02:18] <golden_tie> ProN00b: yet i want to chek it on my own pc and i m using LAN
[02:18] <ProN00b> Zergiu, then launch it from alt+f2, kopete is kde native; gaim would be gnome native
[02:18] <livingdaylight> Topsun, but i also need it as username
[02:18] <ProN00b> golden_tie, can't you google, there should be a bazzilion tuts out there on it
[02:18] <Topsun> livingdaylight: why?
[02:18] <IrishDave> hey, does anyone know how i can set up passwordless ssh
[02:19] <IrishDave> ?
[02:19] <dystopianray> livingdaylight: why are you using such a ridiculous username?
[02:19] <Zergiu> ok , omw
[02:19] <golden_tie> ProN00b: i chekd most of them
[02:19] <golden_tie> but they didnt guide me well
[02:19] <livingdaylight> Topsun, because that is how xp is setup on laptop and for samba it is easier if all usernames are the same
[02:19] <void^> golden_tie: especially in an office/work encironment it's important you set it up properly and securely.. and to be able to do that you need to understand exactly what you are doing.. so you'll just have to spend some time reading howtos and documentation. nobody else can do it for you.
[02:19] <livingdaylight> ?
[02:19] <dystopianray> golden_tie: what part are you having trouble with?
[02:19] <SasquatchNL>  can someone tell me how to change the screensaver settings in xubuntu? my apps > settings > screensaver settings won't work, get a missing plugin error
[02:20] <Topsun> livingdaylight: there should be a samba name mapping for that
[02:20] <livingdaylight> Topsun, why is samba so friggin hard ?
[02:20] <golden_tie> dystopianray:  i install it and just reading many helps but unable to start it
[02:20] <livingdaylight> Topsun, i don't know how to do what you talk of
[02:21] <golden_tie> i m stucked on vissible host
[02:21] <golden_tie> dystopianray:
[02:21] <golden_tie> how can i set the vissible-host dystopianray:
[02:21] <ProN00b> golden_tie, whats the error when you start it ?
[02:21] <dystopianray> golden_tie: what ist he visible-host?
[02:21] <dystopianray> golden_tie: which guide are you looking at?
[02:21] <golden_tie> i don know
[02:21] <ompaul> livingdaylight, given you have been around here for over a year, I suppose you should know that you can personally of your own free will type /msg ubotu samba and work out the rest from there
[02:22] <{[rediz] }> hey everyone
[02:22] <ProN00b> livingdaylight, samba is a mess, i am having problems with it myself
[02:22] <golden_tie> dystopianray: i m using www.squid-cache.org
[02:23] <ProN00b> golden_tie, how do you know your squid isn't already working ?
[02:23] <Topsun> livingdaylight: do you want to access a samba share from windows?
[02:23] <Rageon> if im using GDE i cant use KDE programs like Krdc correct
[02:23] <dystopianray> golden_tie: that's just a website, what specific guide are you reading?
[02:23] <golden_tie> yes
[02:23] <dystopianray> Rageon: incorrect!
[02:23] <Rageon> ty
[02:23] <livingdaylight> Topsun, both ways
[02:23] <dystopianray> Rageon: you can run any program regardless of whether you use gnome or kde, or something else
[02:23] <livingdaylight> ompaul, i didn't know... i could type that
[02:23] <{[rediz] }> whats the best burning software to burn an iso image of ubuntustudio to disk from within ubuntu 6.6 dapperdrake?
[02:24] <golden_tie> dystopianray: i installed the squid is there any help installed with it ???
[02:24] <livingdaylight> ompaul, i've been here since a year, but not for a year
[02:24] <Rageon> you just gave me 2 oppisite answers dude! lol
[02:24] <dystopianray> golden_tie: probably, there are plenty of guides on google too
[02:24] <golden_tie> n wich folder it can be ???
[02:24] <golden_tie> dystopianray: like ???
[02:24] <user30001> s
[02:24] <dystopianray> golden_tie: try googling 'squid quide'
[02:24] <Rageon> so dystopianray i CAN download and install KRDC under Gnome without problems?
[02:25] <dystopianray> Rageon: of course
[02:25] <Topsun> livingdaylight: for linux->window you can use the 'Connect to Server' feature
[02:25] <Rageon> why does it say its made for KDE then?
[02:25] <dystopianray> Rageon: because it's a kde app, that doesnt' mean it won't run in gnome
[02:25] <livingdaylight> Topsun, that is from linx to windows? what feature is dis?
[02:25] <Rageon> ok awesome so GDE and KDE are backward compatible?
[02:26] <dystopianray> Rageon: backwards compatible?
[02:26] <golden_tie> dystopianray: ok
[02:26] <ProN00b> Rageon, none of them is "back"
[02:26] <dystopianray> Rageon: it doesn't matter what desktop environment you run, you can run any linux program
[02:26] <Rageon> well compatible with each other :)
[02:26] <Rageon> ok great ty for the info mates!
[02:26] <SasquatchNL>  anyone know how to change the screensaver in xfce?
[02:26] <dystopianray> Rageon: you don't even need to run gnome or kde to use their apps
[02:26] <ProN00b> Rageon, but you should notice that xfce or gnome are much more aweasome, new and promising than kde
[02:27] <Topsun> livingdaylight: Places->Connect to Server
[02:27] <metal> Alright - my roof webcam project has finally made some progress.  The funny thing is, I can get the cam to work in aMSN ONLY
[02:27] <Rageon> if i boot to safe mode linux from GRUB does that take me to prompt only?
[02:27] <n0yd> Anyone here use the mozilla-plugins-vlc package? It appears to be in the correct place (/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libvlcplugin.so), but firefox,netscape and opera aren't picking it up.
[02:28] <ProN00b> metal, what else do you want it to work in ? see what webcam lib aMsn uses ?
[02:28] <ProN00b> n0yd, how you sure they aint picking it up ? checked about:plugins ?
[02:28] <n0yd> ProN00b: of course I did
[02:28] <Enselic> My wireless works just fine, but I'd like to test where I have the best link quality for a WEP network that I don't have the passphrase for, anyone have any tips on how to do that?
[02:28] <metal> Well for starters I've tried just opening it with camorama - which fails.  My end goal is to have it stream from my roof to one of my servers
[02:28] <dystopianray> Enselic: kismit may be useful
[02:29] <dystopianray> Enselic: if your driver supports monitor mode
[02:29] <ProN00b> metal, try if you can view it in vlc
[02:29] <jc> aw
[02:29] <metal> Sec
[02:29] <dystopianray> Enselic: what driver are you using?
[02:29] <Rageon> dystopianray: ProN00b - if i boot to the safemode linux from GRUB does it take me to prompt only?
[02:30] <dystopianray> Rageon: I don't know, try it out and see
[02:30] <n0yd> ProN00b: I assume that was your only idea? ;)
[02:30] <{[rediz] }> anyone help me burn iso to disk
[02:30] <metal> ProN00b:  opens fine in VLC
[02:30] <Enselic> dystopianray: an Intel one that supports Monitor
[02:30] <Enselic> dystopianray: installing kismet
[02:30] <dystopianray> {[rediz] }: you should be able to just right click the iso and see an option for burning it
[02:30] <dystopianray> Enselic: ok good, kismet should work great then
[02:30] <arnt> heelo
[02:30] <dystopianray> Enselic: not sure if it's quite what you're looking for though
[02:30] <Enselic> dystopianray: seems not to be in repos, where do you get your copy?
[02:31] <arnt> hello
[02:31] <arnt> i got some questions
[02:31] <Enselic> dystopianray: some .deb somehwere?
[02:31] <{[rediz] }> dystopianray: gonna try thnkz;)
[02:31] <Enselic> !ask | arnt
[02:31] <ubotu> arnt: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:31] <ProN00b> metal, well, VLC and aMSN use default v4l so i don't see why there should be any problem with any app viewing your cam
[02:31] <dystopianray> Enselic: it is in the repos, are you running feisty?
[02:31] <arnt> can some body help me whit my questions
[02:31] <Enselic> dystopianray: nope, Gutsy
[02:31] <metal> Exactly what I was thinking
[02:31] <dystopianray> !ask | arnt
[02:31] <kreib> how do you uninstll openoffice, ehrn seleced for removal in synaptic, it requires removal of ubuntu-desktop. whats that about?
[02:31] <POVaddct> Enselic: airodump-ng (from aircrack-ng) is also nice.
[02:31] <dystopianray> Enselic: should be in gutsy
[02:31] <arnt> allright ,, i wanna change some things in ubunto how can i do that,
[02:32] <Enselic> dystopianray: nm, had it already :)
[02:32] <SasquatchNL>  arnt, what do you want to change?
[02:32] <arnt> names and the kind of thing
[02:32] <dystopianray> arnt: you need to be much more specific
[02:32] <arnt> i want to make like my own system
[02:32] <metal> I suppose I'll do some more fooling around.  Thanks for the VLC tip
[02:32] <arnt> whit my name and not ubunto
[02:32] <arnt> and that kind of things
[02:32] <nbkr> kreib, run sudo apt-get remove openofice.org
[02:32] <nbkr> kreib, run sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org
[02:32] <arnt> just my own opperation system
[02:33] <ProN00b> n0yd, well, you could move it to your users plugin folder and chmod it for all access then killall -9 firefox to be sure no instance is running at all just to test; next step would be looking at firefox debug messages if started in verbose mode from a terminal (dunno how) and see how it registers plugins (dunno how, google)
[02:33] <kreib> ok, ill try, thx

[02:37] <jrib> IrishDave: there should be a "file permissions" in the configuring samba section of the second link ubotu gave you

[02:37] <IrishDave> thanks jrib
[02:37] <anandanbu> dystopianray: Can you explain how to do that using ffmpeg
[02:37] <CorkyCatcher007> SasquatchNL, ik moet me registreren
[02:37] <SasquatchNL>  hmm, raar
[02:37] <dystopianray> anandanbu: I don't remember exactly it'd be something like: ffmpeg -i blah.mpg -vcodec null -acodec copy blah.mp3
[02:38] <CorkyCatcher007> SasquatchNL, join #corky
[02:38] <dystopianray> anandanbu: or whatever format the audio is in
[02:38] <dystopianray> anandanbu: and I don't remember if -vcodec null is valid, there is a vcodec option that indicates to ignore the video stream
[02:38] <anandanbu> dystopianray: is there any guides for that
[02:38] <dystopianray> anandanbu: probably, just google
[02:38] <dystopianray> anandanbu: or read the man page, it's pretty straight forward
[02:38] <anandanbu> dystopianray: tried but not relavant
[02:40] <dystopianray> anandanbu: try the command I said
[02:40] <Man_id_Unknown> jrib: I generated the source. Now, what do I do with it, Sir?
[02:40] <anandanbu> dystopianray: Ok sure i would do that now
[02:40] <jrib> Man_id_Unknown: in a terminal do 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list', delete the contents and replace it with the new one
[02:40] <Zergiu> I got a problem
[02:41] <Man_id_Unknown> jrib: Will do...
[02:41] <dystopianray> anandanbu: do you want to extract the audio as-is or extract and transcode to an mp3 or something?
[02:41] <Zergiu> when I compile a file with g++ it says g++: unrecognized option '-02'
[02:41] <Zergiu> whats that?
[02:41] <POVaddct> Zergiu: it's -O2, not -02
[02:42] <dystopianray> Zergiu: O not 0
[02:42] <Zergiu> caps o?
[02:42] <Zergiu> or doesn't matter
[02:42] <POVaddct> Zergiu: yes, caps o
[02:42] <Zergiu> oky let me check
[02:42] <anandanbu> dystopianray: i want to extract the audio from it and transcode to any audio formats
[02:42] <Zergiu> nope , same thing
[02:43] <Romina> hey
[02:43] <dystopianray> anandanbu: ffmpeg -i blah.mpg -vcodec null blah.mp3
[02:43] <Man_id_Unknown> jrib: I did so, (after 1st saving a backup). Will synaptic just detect the changes?
[02:43] <dystopianray> anandanbu: that should work
[02:43] <jrib> Man_id_Unknown: you can either press "reload" in synaptic or run 'sudo aptitude update' in a terminal
[02:43] <anandanbu> dystopianray: but when i do that it says ffmpeg command not found
[02:43] <Zergiu> thye compile the file , but it says that error , and its an O not zero
[02:43] <Man_id_Unknown> jrib: Understood.
[02:43] <dystopianray> anandanbu: obviously you have to install it
[02:44] <Romina> what if someone would like to download MP3's as a preview before buying a CD (what is legal in my country) .... what network should I use?   Frostwire which accesses the Gnutela-Network seems to be kinda dead ... there are at least 90% less results than still 2 years ago
[02:44] <anandanbu> dystopianray: sorry i haven't installed it yet , installing it now

[02:44] <gurkburk> When opening audacity, I have managed to get my logitech-usb-desktop microphone to be selectable as a Recording-device. When trying to record it seems to work, however, I cant select anything as Playback device, so I cant really play my recording.
[02:44] <Romina> dystopianray, astro76:  Okay I am sorry - will not happen again
[02:44] <gurkburk> how should I go about to get audacity to manage playing sounds ive recorded?

[02:46] <FSHero> Is it possible in OpenOffice.org to copy to the clipboard rows that are non-continuous (like it is in MSFT Office 97)?
[02:46] <dystopianray> anandanbu: does that file actually exist?
[02:47] <anandanbu> dystopianray:yes there is file
[02:47] <dystopianray> anandanbu: what do you get if you just type: ffmpeg -i blah.mpg
[02:47] <astro76> FSHero, it doesn't seem to
[02:48] <anandanbu> dystopianray: with sudo or without it
[02:48] <dystopianray> anandanbu: without
[02:48] <Man_id_Unknown> jrib: It worked perfectly. Thank you, Sir.
[02:48] <jrib> Man_id_Unknown: no problem
[02:48] <zeta> does anybody know how i can download youtube movies?
[02:48] <dystopianray> anandanbu: ffmpeg certainly doesn't need root priveledges :S
[02:49] <zeta> anyone...?
[02:49] <dystopianray> zeta: the flv files appear in /tmp when you watch them, you can copy them out
[02:49] <anandanbu> dystopianray: ok just a sec
[02:49] <jrib> zeta: you're offtopic but keepvid.com.  Use #ubuntu-offtopic for stuff like that in the future...
[02:49] <zeta> dystopianray: srs! lol thx dude
[02:49] <dystopianray> zeta: otherwise just use google
[02:49] <dystopianray> zeta: 5 seconds of google and you'd have your answer
[02:49] <anandanbu> dystopianray: this is what i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38346/
[02:49] <zeta> dystopianray: thx anyways :)
[02:49] <dystopianray> anandanbu: there is somethign wrong with the input file
[02:49] <FSHero> astro76: Thx for replying. I thought not, and it is a shame... it would make OpenOffice much better IMO
[02:50] <anandanbu> dystopianray: but it plays well in most players
[02:50] <dystopianray> anandanbu: ffmpeg doesn't like it for some reason
[02:50] <anandanbu> dystopianray: what could be the problem then
[02:50] <dystopianray> anandanbu: are you sure you are giving the correct filename?
[02:51] <dystopianray> anandanbu: is your file actually called 'blah.mpg' ?
[02:51] <damianl_> penis
[02:51] <damianl_> fuck
[02:51] <damianl_> shit
[02:51] <damianl_> asshole

[02:51] <panosru> is there any tool like daemon tools for ubuntu?
[02:51] <anandanbu> dystopianray: it is .mpeg
[02:51] <jrib> !iso > panosru (read the private message from ubotu)
[02:51] <dystopianray> panosru: mounting iso images is a standard feature
[02:51] <dystopianray> anandanbu: are you giving the correct filename?
[02:51] <dystopianray> anandanbu: all your pastebins have 'blah.mpg' is that the actual filename?
[02:51] <anandanbu> dystopianray: yes the name is blah only
[02:52] <panosru> oh nice!! :D but is there any way to do the mount without terminal?
[02:52] <dystopianray> anandanbu: what is the name of the file?
[02:52] <damianl_> animal sex
[02:52] <damianl_> finsting
[02:52] <damianl_> ass
[02:52] <anandanbu> dystopianray: the name is blah.mpeg
[02:52] <dystopianray> anandanbu: your pastebins have blah.mpg
[02:53] <anandanbu> dystopianray: can i do that for an .ogg file and check whether it works fine
[02:53] <dystopianray> anandanbu: try again with the correct name
[02:53] <osxdude|laptop> Heh, oops
[02:53] <SasquatchNL>  anyone know how to change screensaver settings in xfce?
[02:54] <Zergiu> can I play WOW from ubuntu?
[02:54] <anandanbu> dystopianray: this is what i get when i try with the correct name http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38348/
[02:54] <dystopianray> Zergiu: yes, with wine
[02:54] <jrib> !wow > Zergiu (read the private message from ubotu)
[02:54] <SasquatchNL>  Zergiu: when using wine, yes
[02:54] <dystopianray> anandanbu: ok that looks fine
[02:54] <dystopianray> anandanbu: now try this: ffmpeg -i blah.mpeg blah.mp3
[02:54] <Zergiu> ok thanks
[02:54] <osxdude|laptop> Zergiu: Not very well, but use Cedega. Wine is only good for Windows apps.
[02:54] <anandanbu> dystopianray: ok i would do that now
[02:55] <dystopianray> osxdude|laptop: WoW works great in wine
[02:55] <dystopianray> osxdude|laptop: no need to purchase cedega
[02:55] <dystopianray> osxdude|laptop: WoW is a windows app
[02:56] <Vladimir_u> It is necessary to create bluetooth a network between a computer and a mobile phone that it was possible through putty to be connected to ssh to a server through bluetooth?
[02:56] <osxdude|laptop> Oh really? I haven't tried it...Been running Ubuntu in a VM lateley...
[02:56] <anandanbu> dystopianray: thanks the encoding has started but with default values i think as the bitrate is 64kbs and how to chane it
[02:56] <dystopianray> anandanbu: -ab 128 (or whatever you want)
[02:56] <dystopianray> anandanbu: look at the man page
[02:56] <anandanbu> dystopianray: ok i would do that now
[02:56] <anandanbu> dystopianray: anyway thanks for your kind help
[02:57] <dystopianray> osxdude|laptop: lots of games work very well in wine
[02:57] <dystopianray> doom3 runs faster in wine than the native client
[02:57] <pookey> hey all - for some reason the installer doesn't let me install my / on an unformatted partition.  I have my old gentoo install in /gentoo on /dev/sda3, and I need that to be my new ubuntu root. if there anyway to tell teh installer to install there ? at the moment it errors saying it needs to reformat /
[02:58] <irvken> I want to change a string in all the text files within one directory, how can I do that?
[02:58] <dystopianray> pookey: probably not, you'll likely have to backup the gentoo files and restore after installing ubuntu
[02:58] <dystopianray> irvken: you can use sed to do it
[02:58] <dystopianray> irvken: what do you want to change?
[02:59] <irvken> a string
[02:59] <irvken> replace this with that in every file
[02:59] <anandanbu> dystopianray: still the bitrate remains unchanged
[03:00] <anandanbu> dystopianray: even issuing the command -ab 320
[03:01] <dystopianray> irvken: sed -ie "s/this/that/g" *.txt
[03:01] <dystopianray> irvken: for example
[03:01] <Bupsss> hi, i need help
[03:01] <dystopianray> anandanbu: i'm not sure why that would be, did you read the man page?
[03:01] <MatBoy> Mhh, I still have the problem that my workstation says it can;t find the internetaddress while logging in... everything is setup as it should
[03:01] <irvken> I've just found rpl which looks easier to use
[03:02] <dystopianray> sed is very easy if you know regex
[03:02] <pookey> dystopianray: easier said then done, I have no where to backup to ;)
[03:02] <dystopianray> pookey: you'll have to find somewhere then
[03:02] <dystopianray> pookey: what large is the /gentoo dir?
[03:03] <pookey> dystopianray: that's a silly restriction, I should file a bug about that I think -  a warning would be sufficient
[03:03] <anandanbu> dystopianray: in that it is given as -ab bitrate only
[03:03] <mete_888> how can I set the default gw for eth0?
[03:03] <pookey> dystopianray: 100gig maybe
[03:03] <dystopianray> anandanbu: i'm not suer why it's not working
[03:04] <anandanbu> dystopianray: ok i would check that
[03:04] <POVaddct> mete_888: which is the gateway ip address?
[03:04] <dixon2> pookey: could use qtparted and make a new partition on unused space at end of /gentoo, then install there?
[03:04] <Madnez> guys
[03:04] <mete_888> POVaddct gw is 10.0.0.1
[03:04] <Madnez> how do i edit my HD partition?
[03:04] <dystopianray> mete_888: sudo route add default gw x.x.x.x
[03:04] <POVaddct> mete_888: sudo route add default gw 10.0.0.1
[03:04] <pookey> sure, I could.... but evil cos then I'd need to move it all back - it's just the installer being stupid. I guess I'll debootstrap manually somehow....
[03:04] <Madnez> i'm going to add a new drive and i wanna partition it properly
[03:05] <dystopianray> Madnez: use gparted
[03:05] <Madnez> hmm
[03:05] <POVaddct> mete_888: but that is only temporary. if you want to have it permanently, you must edit /etc/network/interfaces
[03:05] <Madnez> what happened with the ubuntu installer partition?
[03:05] <dystopianray> Madnez: what?
[03:06] <Madnez> when you install ubuntu, there is a file partition program/formatter
[03:06] <dystopianray> anandanbu: oh i just remembered, make sure you put -ab before the blah.mp3 name
[03:06] <Madnez> cant i just reuse that program for the new drive rather than adding more useless programs?
[03:06] <bullgard4> English help wanted: What does it mean 'to mash in the power button to reboot' as in "Mashing in the power button to reboot could cause a problem if your hard drive is still being written to, and usually causes more problems than it solves. The Linux kernel includes a secret method of restarting your PC should it ever stop doing its job."
[03:06] <dystopianray> anandanbu: like: ffmpeg -i blah.mpeg -ab 128 blah.mp3
[03:07] <anandanbu> dystopianray: ok i would do that
[03:07] <astro76> bullgard4, typically, holding the power for 5 seconds will reset the computer
[03:07] <dystopianray> Madnez: yes you can do that, run gparted from the livecd
[03:07] <anandanbu> dystopianray: yeah it works fine thanks for that
[03:07] <ZeroLink> hey people
[03:07] <Madnez> gparted wasnt added into the installed ubuntu?
[03:07] <ZeroLink> i think i destroyed my system :S
[03:07] <dystopianray> anandanbu: the options have to be specified before the filename they are applied to
[03:08] <Madnez> lolz... i screwed up mine
[03:08] <ZeroLink> anyone willing to help me fix it?
[03:08] <anandanbu> dystopianray: how to know about these type of synatx
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Madnez: gparted is on live but must be added to installed version... synaptic
[03:08] <dystopianray> Madnez: i beleive gparted is installed by default, if not install it or use the livecd
[03:08] <Madnez> disabled my SDL from detecting my graphics driver
[03:08] <dystopianray> anandanbu: read the man page
[03:08] <Madnez> thanks
[03:08] <bullgard4> astro76: Well, I know that holding the power button down for a while will reset a computer. But what does 'to mash in' mean?
[03:08] <dystopianray> ZeroLink: what's wrong with it?
[03:08] <anandanbu> dystopianray: ok
[03:08] <Madnez> anyway gotta reinstall ubuntu
[03:08] <kbrooks> bullgard4, when you write text in your text editor, it gets into random access memory. but random access memory is gone when you shutdown your computer.
[03:08] <Madnez> how i screwed up SDL i have no clue
[03:09] <ZeroLink> dystopianray: i tried to uninstall firefox and i deleted something from synaptic
[03:09] <astro76> bullgard4, it's not really different than "push in"
[03:09] <dystopianray> ZeroLink: what did you delete?
[03:09] <ZeroLink> everything that had connection with firefox
[03:09] <bullgard4> astro76: Ok, understood. Thank you.
[03:09] <ZeroLink> then i couldnt open nautilus and gnome
[03:09] <Madnez> dysto, how do i reinstall ubuntu? use the live and install back to same drive? will it overwrite ubuntu only?
[03:09] <ZeroLink> i managed to fix that but now i have other problems
[03:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Madnez: did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[03:10] <dystopianray> Madnez: you reinstall in the same way that you installed and yes it will overwrite your current install
[03:10] <ZeroLink> i get that when i try opening an icon Not a "launchable item"
[03:10] <dystopianray> Madnez: backup all your import files first
[03:10] <kbrooks> bullgard4, when you save, the text in your text editor that you written gets transferred from memory to the hard drive. but if you shutdown in the middle of a save, then the rest of the data that would be transferred to the disk is lost.
[03:10] <Madnez> i need to reinstall ubuntu
[03:10] <ZeroLink> and something wrong with apt-get too
[03:10] <Madnez> dont think that'd work jack
[03:10] <Madnez> SDL is screwed
[03:11] <Madnez> was working but when i compiled some progs, seemed to have killed it
[03:11] <dystopianray> Madnez: backup your files, boot the livecd and install again
[03:11] <ZeroLink> dystopianray: any way to fix that?
[03:11] <Madnez> cant even reinstall SDL.... doesnt help
[03:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Madnez: Only takes a minute to try it vs a few minutes for a reinstall
[03:11] <dystopianray> ZeroLink: I'm not sure, sorry
[03:11] <ZeroLink> :S
[03:11] <Madnez> lolz
[03:11] <kbrooks> bullgard4, there?
[03:11] <ZeroLink> i dont want to reinstall it :(
[03:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Madnez: I understand the problem is deeper
[03:11] <kbrooks> bullgard4, do you understand me? :-)
[03:11] <Madnez> ok
[03:11] <bullgard4> kbrooks: Yes, I am here.
[03:11] <dystopianray> ZeroLink: you can't just install firefox?
[03:12] <ZeroLink> i did that
[03:12] <ZeroLink> it works now
[03:12] <ZeroLink> but apt-get is destroyed
[03:12] <ZeroLink> w8
[03:12] <dystopianray> ZeroLink: how did you destroy apt-get?
[03:12] <kbrooks> ZeroLink, whats the error
[03:13] <narcan> hi
[03:13] <Emperor> Can someone help me to use the program JAxe please? I've done everything the website says to use it, but when I enter the command to start it, the terminal says it cannot load it.
[03:13] <ZeroLink> actually when i open the updates icon i get an error about partial upgrade
[03:13] <bullgard4> kbrooks: The process or situation which you are describing, is well known to me. But I do not understand its relationship to the word or phrase 'to mash in'. Please explain the missing mental link.
[03:13] <narcan> i ve got a problem with kernel 2.6.20.16 on two different laptop
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Emperor: Please supply the link with the instructions
[03:13] <Samaseon> hi, any idea how do i find out the RGB values of pixels in a png picture (in ubuntu) :) ?
[03:14] <Emperor> Jack_Sparrow: http://www.geocities.com/JAxe02/manual.html
[03:14] <dystopianray> Samaseon: open it in an image editor, i think the gimp is installed by default
[03:14] <narcan> my x server is very qlow
[03:14] <Madnez> hahaa
[03:14] <Madnez> jack
[03:14] <narcan> slow
[03:14] <LjL> Samaseon: it's somewhat possible with the netpbm tools, for instance, though there's probably better ways (the GIMP to start with, if GUI is ok)
[03:14] <Madnez> doesnt wrok
[03:14] <Madnez> doesnt work
[03:14] <dystopianray> narcan: what video driver are you using?
[03:14] <narcan> have you got this same problem?
[03:14] <Madnez> error display: Could not initialize SDL: No available video device
[03:14] <kbrooks> bullgard4, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mash : Southern American slang for pressing a button. Ie, "Mash the green button."
[03:14] <Madnez> that and after reinstalling SDL = program screwed up
[03:15] <narcan> the intel driver
[03:15] <Madnez> reinstall ubuntu safer :)
[03:15] <narcan> for one
[03:15] <Samaseon> dystopianray, LjL , thanks, i tried with gimp, but didn't know what function to use to find the pixel values
[03:15] <Samaseon> i try again
[03:15] <bullgard4> kbrooks: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining.
[03:15] <narcan> and for the other... i dont' knox
[03:15] <narcan> know
[03:15] <ZeroLink> Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s).
[03:15] <ZeroLink> Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages?
[03:15] <ZeroLink> thats what i get
[03:15] <kbrooks> bullgard4, i didnt explain
[03:15] <LjL> Samaseon, use the color picker and then click on the main color box to see the values - i think
[03:15] <kbrooks> bullgard4, but np
[03:15] <dystopianray> Samaseon: the gimp should have a colour picker tool
[03:15] <narcan> must I change something on my xorg.conf?
[03:15] <Madnez> anyone here using deluge?
[03:16] <bullgard4> kbrooks: Well, you hinted me at the explanation. Now it has become clear to me. --  Thank you again.
[03:16] <Samaseon> LjL, dystopianray, thanks "color picker" were the magic words i needed :)
[03:16] <Madnez> if i save my unfinished files and reinstall ubuntu, can the files be continued or do they have some sort of file tracking i need to keep?
[03:16] <joachimm> hello, I just burnt a few files to a cd from my mac, now I put them in my Ubuntu box and all the filenames have been lower-cased? have I missed some mount option somewhere?
[03:16] <Bassetts> anyone know a program to automatically get album art?
[03:16] <narcan> i hadn't any problem on 2.6.20.15 kernel on my 2 laptops
[03:17] <Madnez> ..
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Emperor: That looks stright forward.  I just dont do java stuff
[03:17] <Madnez> nvr mind
[03:17] <Madnez> i'll just try it out
[03:17] <dystopianray> Madnez: backup your files
[03:17] <Madnez> yeah
[03:17] <Madnez> gonna
[03:17] <Madnez> new drive
[03:17] <narcan> am I alone to have this problem with 2.6.20.16 kernel?
[03:17] <dystopianray> Madnez: if the files are on a separate partition to / then you should bea ble to keep that parititon intact during the reinstall
[03:17] <Madnez> man 320 gigs are cheap
[03:17] <Madnez> nope
[03:17] <dystopianray> narcan: what exactly is the problem?
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> ZeroLink: What changes have you made to your sources... have you ever run automatix or envy?
[03:17] <Madnez> not all the files
[03:17] <Emperor> Jack_Sparrow: I thought so too. Than my terminal said it failed to load the Main-Class attribute. =/
[03:18] <Madnez> just wondering if deluge works as what i expect :D
[03:18] <narcan> dystopianray, : my X server is slow
[03:18] <Madnez> anyway thanks
[03:18] <Madnez> gonna reinstall
[03:18] <dystopianray> narcan: what video card do you have? I have an 915GM and have no issues with that kernel
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Emperor: I assume you verified the dependencies are in there..
[03:18] <Samaseon> ok thank you, bye
[03:18] <ZeroLink> jack_sparrow: someone gave me a .list file for software
[03:18] <buibui> !samba
[03:18] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[03:18] <bXi> hmmm grub somehow failed on me
[03:18] <ZeroLink> jack_sparrow: now the software sources have errors
[03:18] <Emperor> Jack_Sparrow: I have no idea how to do that. >_<
[03:18] <dystopianray> joachimm: can your mac burn with the 'rock ridge' filesystem?
[03:19] <bXi> can someone assist me do a manual boot from the grub menu ?
[03:19] <narcan> dystopianray, : on one of these laptop i  using an intel driver the i8...? something like this
[03:19] <ZeroLink> jack_sparrow: can you tell me your default options at Software Sources?
[03:19] <dystopianray> joachimm: you've probably burned a disc with a mac filesystem that ubuntu can't understand
[03:19] <narcan> dystopianray, and on the other i don't know
[03:19] <dystopianray> narcan: use lspci to see exactly what video hardware you have
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> ZeroLink: What were you trying to install and please post your sources.list to the pastebin..NOT in channel
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !easysource
[03:19] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[03:20] <ZeroLink> jack_sparrow: i am not trying to install anything i just cant get the software updates
[03:20] <joachimm> dystopianray: the files all come over ok, it is just the casing of the filenames that is of. I'll look into the 'rock ridge'
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> ZeroLink: If you have run automatix or envy, a question you ignored... then you have realy problems
[03:20] <narcan> dystopianray, 915GM
[03:20] <teKnofreak> bXi, you mean you don't see the grub menu ?
[03:20] <bXi> anyone?
[03:20] <dystopianray> narcan: I have the same card, I have no issues with that kernel
[03:20] <bXi> teKnofreak: theres no grub menu i get the grub prompt immediatly
[03:20] <ZeroLink> jack_sparrow: i dont have envy or automatix
[03:20] <dystopianray> narcan: in what way is it slow?
[03:21] <teKnofreak> bXi, install grub then and check
[03:21] <narcan> dystopianray, ok thanks; I go return to 2.6.20.15
[03:21] <Usrl_> I have a .rar file that's in 15 parts, how do I recombine/extract them together?
[03:21] <Jack_Sparrow> ZeroLink: SO someone gave you a .list to install ?
[03:21] <bXi> teKnofreak: i cant boot so how can i install something...
[03:21] <dystopianray> narcan: how exactly is it slow?
[03:21] <narcan> dystopianray, xcuse me my english (i am french)
[03:21] <dystopianray> narcan: have you been playing with your xorg.conf?
[03:21] <SlimeyPete> Usrl_: just extract the first file (usually .rar or .r00)
[03:21] <narcan> dystopianray, "slow screen"
[03:21] <SlimeyPete> Usrl_: the extracter will pick up the other files automatically
[03:21] <ZeroLink> jack_sparrow: yeah he gave me his because i couldnt update my sources list
[03:21] <Usrl_> SlimeyPete: oh, ok, thanks
[03:21] <narcan> dystopianray, "slow to open app"
[03:21] <dystopianray> narcan: there is a noticeable slowness between .15 and .16?

[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> easy source
[03:22] <narcan> dystopianray, on 16
[03:22] <pookey> hey all - what do I want to put for the source of a kubuntu debootstrap?

[03:22] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[03:22] <ZeroLink> Jack_Sparrow: where can i find that?
[03:22] <dystopianray> narcan: hrrm i'm not sure why that'd be
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> ZeroLink: Source o matic...  see above.. for the second time
[03:23] <idefix> teKnofreak sources list? a list of repos or something else?
[03:23] <narcan> dystopianray, i feel, i am alone with this problem
[03:24] <teKnofreak> idefix, telling to me ? why ?
[03:24] <narcan> dystopianray, my two lap top are different
[03:24] <dystopianray> narcan: they are both slow with .16?
[03:24] <bXi> teKnofreak: that guide forgot something :P
[03:24] <bXi> initrd
[03:24] <narcan> dystopianray, yes
[03:24] <idefix> ops
[03:24] <dystopianray> narcan: and they have different video cards?
[03:24] <pedervl> What's the command for updating grub after changes have been applied?
[03:24] <teKnofreak> idefix, souces.list is a list of package sources i.e. repos from where apt can download
[03:24] <teKnofreak> :D
[03:24] <narcan> dystopianray, i must to look that for ont of these
[03:24] <bXi> pedervl: what kind of changes?
[03:24] <narcan> one*
[03:25] <teKnofreak> bXi, what did it forget ?
[03:25] <bXi> teKnofreak: i had to manually load the kernel and the initrd
[03:25] <pedervl> bXi: I just removed the background image - splash.xpm.gz.
[03:25] <wimdows> Hi all - I cannot figure out how to copy from a mounted NTFS volume to a SMB share
[03:25] <narcan> dystopianray, thank you for your help
[03:25] <bXi> that grub command list doesnt have the initrd command
[03:25] <dystopianray> wimdows: you should be able to just copy and paste
[03:25] <bXi> pedervl: no need to update anything then
[03:25] <teKnofreak> bXi, you need to fix grub, also known as grub re-install :P
[03:25] <narcan> dystopianray, but i thonk i will return to 2.6.10.15
[03:25] <narcan> think*
[03:26] <dystopianray> wimdows: assuming you have read privs on the ntfs partition and write privs on the smb share
[03:26] <dystopianray> narcan: ok then
[03:26] <dystopianray> narcan: try gutsy if you can and see if that has the same slowness
[03:26] <wimdows> dysto - tried that, simply doesn't work - yes I have read on the NTFS which I've mounted and Write on the Ubuntu SMB share
[03:26] <wimdows> it simply doesn't paste...nothing happens
[03:26] <dystopianray> wimdows: is there an error when you try it?
[03:26] <wimdows> nope
[03:26] <narcan> dystopianray, no gusty avaible for french
[03:26] <dystopianray> wimdows: can you paste the file into your home directory?
[03:27] <narcan> dystopianray, only on testing
[03:27] <wimdows> dyso - how can I try it using cp command? I can't seem to use smb:// in there
[03:27] <narcan> dystopianray, i try that on few weeks
[03:27] <narcan> dystopianray, thank you bybye :)
[03:28] <dystopianray> wimdows: you need to use smbmount to mount an smb share
[03:28] <dystopianray> narcan: bye
[03:28] <Avec> i have forgot MySQL administrator password how i can change it?
[03:28] <wimdows> dyso - ok - smbmount...let me try that

[03:31] <gurkburk> Got a problem running WoW under WINE. After ive installed and got compiz to work, the upper "menu" in gnome with applications, system etc etc. AND the lower menu with all open programs etc, go ABOVE wow, so it looks kinda weird. Anyone got a clue how to make wow "go atop" of the gnome ui?
[03:32] <dystopianray> gurkburk: turn of compiz
[03:32] <Jack_Sparrow> gurkburk: Check out #Ubuntu-effects
[03:32] <dystopianray> turn off i mean
[03:32] <bullgard4> What does the SysRq function "allow nicing of all RT tasks" do? What is 'to nice'? What does 'RT' stand for?
[03:32] <gurkburk> well im not really gonna turn compiz off just because of some game, but ill defo check that channel out :)
[03:32] <gurkburk> thanks for the tip
[03:32] <dystopianray> bullgard4: look at the 'nice' man page and RT probably means Real Time
[03:32] <penguin42> bullgard4: 'nice' is to make lower priroity
[03:32] <Chousuke> bullgard4: rt = realtime and nicing = changing priority
[03:33] <penguin42> bullgard4: I think potentially you could have a realtime process that was trying to use all your processing so that you might not be able to get a shell to kill it, I suspect that SysRq nices it to give you some CPU so you can go and kill it
[03:33] <LjL> bullgard4: the "nice" value is a process's dynamic priority. the lower it is, the more CPU the process is allowed to use. RT is "realtime", which under Linux basically means a process which is allowed to almost use any amount of CPU it wants (although the actual definition of realtime is more involved). i think you need a realtime Linux kernel to use realtime processes, the standard one won't feature RT abilities
[03:33] <bullgard4> dystopianray, penguin42, Chousuke :Thank you very much for explaining.
[03:33] <Chousuke> penguin42: or further nice it :)
[03:34] <penguin42> indeed
[03:34] <whileimhere> Hi. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a site that discusses cleaning up all the excess packages that synaptic holds onto. Is there a way to limit how long those packages sit as deb files on a harddrive?
[03:35] <penguin42> I think there is I can't remember it though
[03:35] <co-malang> aku apa/
[03:35] <bullgard4> LjL: Thank you.
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> whileimhere: I burn var/cache/apt/archives to a cd every month or so, just so I dont need to download them again .. then I clear that folder

[03:36] <wo0f> does anyone use RAID here?
[03:36] <penguin42> wo0f: Yeh
[03:36] <wo0f> penguin42, raid 0?
[03:37] <penguin42> w0lf: I have done in the past; I mostly use 1 or 5
[03:37] <s2a> someone please help me get my hard modem to work, it's a us robotics sportster 33.6 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=557511)
[03:37] <xtor_> Whats a quick way of changing all the system messages in linux to slightly different ones? Do I create a new "language" or "environment"? How easily can this be done?
[03:37] <wo0f> penguin42, how you you set up ubuntu to detect the array rather than the individual disks at setup?
[03:37] <bXi> hmm
[03:37] <bXi> how do i reinstall grub
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> s2a: Sure.. how can I help
[03:37] <wo0f> how do you*
[03:37] <LjL> bXi: man grub-install
[03:38] <wimdows> cheers dyso - installing smbfs helped me to mount the volume and I can now copy stuff! (Rescuing data from Windows NTFS volumes using Feisty Live CD and copying to my Linux server...)
[03:38] <whileimhere> jack_sparrow: is there a way to clear it that is not et us say out of the ordinary? Like is there an option in Synaptic to do this?
[03:38] <penguin42> wo0f: Is this you already have them created and are trying to install ubuntu or trying to create the RAID while you install Ubuntu?
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> s2a: Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS
[03:38] <LjL> s2a: if it's an external serial modem as you say, it *certainly* is a "hard" modem
[03:38] <s2a> go to the link (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=557511) plz
[03:38] <LjL> !modem | s2a
[03:38] <ubotu> s2a: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[03:38] <bXi> LjL: that wont restore the config files will it?
[03:38] <wo0f> penguin42, i already have created the raid and want to install too it
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> whileimhere: There is a terminal comand to clean it out.. not sure synaptic has a way to do it
[03:39] <LjL> bXi: no, need to either do that by hand or use the Ubuntu tool that does it, however i'm not sure which tool it is
[03:39] <penguin42> wo0f: You want root on it or something else?
[03:39] <LjL> bXi: update-grub possibly
[03:40] <wo0f> penguin42, i need / everything on it
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> s2a: Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS      yes I read your post
[03:40] <wo0f> penguin42, at the moment its only detecting sda and sdb
[03:40] <penguin42> wo0f: OK, you know putting / on RAID0 is officially a bad idea?  It's half as reliable
[03:40] <whileimhere> Jack_Sparrow: Can you please tell me what terminal comman it is so I can write it down?
[03:40] <wo0f> penguin42, yeh i know

[03:40] <s2a> r those 2 diff terminal commands or one?
[03:41] <penguin42> wo0f: OK don't say we didn't warn you :-); so your partitions are marked RAID auto detect (type fd I think?)

[03:42] <Rageon> guys im chatting in Pidgin just the and this Random msg comes up saying "You feel a disturbance in the force..." wth is that?
[03:42] <wo0f> penguin42, marked RAID auto detect?
[03:42] <bXi> IhateCLI: firewall ?
[03:42] <LjL> s2a, aside from that anyway, on the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto page you want to directly skip to the "Configure Connection to Internet Service Provider" section, since it's a hardware modem
[03:42] <Tomcat_> Rageon: psychic plugin
[03:42] <whileimhere> :) I am sorry Jack_sparrow I should have said I want the terminal command not to open a terinal but ot purge the folder. :)
[03:42] <IhateCLI> bXi the firewall is disabled.
[03:42] <Rageon> ahh means their starting to type?
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> whileimhere: I cant remember the command, as I dont like to purge then, I hate eating up bandwidth downloading them again for a reinstall on this or another pc
[03:42] <penguin42> wo0f: OK, lets go back - what have you done so far? How did you create the RAID0
[03:42] <Tomcat_> Rageon: It opens a chat window when the other person starts typing, even when he/she hasn't sent a message yet.
[03:43] <Rageon> ahh ok cool thought i was being hacked lol
[03:43] <Rageon> cheers guys
[03:43] <Tomcat_> Rageon: Hehe. ;)
[03:43] <s2a> i tried netwroking and gnome-ppp, none seem to work

[03:43] <wo0f> penguin42, its hardware
[03:43] <whileimhere> I see.
[03:43] <penguin42> wo0f: ohhhhh!
[03:43] <s2a> o
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> s2a: You need to use my name for me to see you.. use tab to complete my name.
[03:43] <whileimhere> Jack_Sparrow I cna understand that.

[03:44] <narothepharoh> what is the best app to make dvd movies from an avi file?

[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> s2a: I can help you with this, but you need to follow along
[03:44] <wo0f> penguin42, you need to know exactly?
[03:44] <whileimhere> I was also wondering do people think that Firefox is a resource hog and if so what is the safe alternative?

[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> s2a: Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS      yes I read your post
[03:45] <IhateCLI> Ok, so, I'll ask again if you don't mind: Winxp and ubuntu feisty are connected with a crossover cat5. I can ping both ways, but can't share files. The firewall is disabled. Can anyone please help?
[03:45] <penguin42> wo0f: No; I don't know the ATI ones - but I'd bet that it isn't really a hardware one; I bet it's all software with a BIOS wrapper; I think you need a thing called dmraid to use software RAID made by controllers like that but I've never used that
[03:45] <s2a> and how do i make that line in middle?
[03:45] <s2a> cant i just copy and paste?
[03:45] <narothepharoh> what is the best app to make dvd movies from an avi file? so i can watch them on my home dvd player
[03:45] <LjL> s2a: ... yes, of course. anyway, you *have* the | character on your keyboard, i'm pretty sure
[03:45] <s2a> Jack_Sparrow: why wont it copy and paste?
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> s2a: It should show up as ttyS5 Test in terminal sudo screen /dev/ttyS           0,1,2 or3
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> s2a: Hold shift ctrl to paste into terminal
[03:46] <ubuntuexp> any ideas as to how to make my sound work? my pc configuration is Intel865GBF motherboard with onboard audio (Analog Devices)
[03:46] <penguin42> ubuntuexp: This on feisty?
[03:46] <bXi> ARGH
[03:47] <bXi> this is driving me crazy
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> s2a: It should show up as ttyS0      or a number 1,2 or 3
[03:47] <wo0f> penguin42, it is hardware raid
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !sound
[03:47] <penguin42> bXi: Speak like a pirate day was last week
[03:47] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> shift \
[03:48] <penguin42> wo0f: If you are seeing two separate drives then either it isn't a hardware RAID, the drivers are broke, or you have created two separate arrays in the RAID

[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> s2a: You can copy as normal but to paste into a terminal use shift - ctrl - v
[03:48] <penguin42> Jamison_: As root ?
[03:48] <xargon> Evanlec, is this on the live cd or do i have to download it separately

[03:49] <anandanbu> wimdows: thanks i would try it
[03:49] <s2a> Jack_Sparrow: ya but wen i highlight it unhighlights right away? is this  a limit from this irc client?

[03:49] <Jamison_> penguin42: how do I do that?
[03:49] <wimdows> IhateCLI: then in Ubuntu - Places - Connect To Server with the details
[03:49] <LjL> s2a, it means it has copied. just hit the middle mouse button to paste.

[04:03] <astro76> devilsreject, you'll see the Write to Disc... option
[04:03] <Drunken> is that the RT71 ?
[04:03] <POVaddct> Drunken: that means no native driver support
[04:03] <Jack_Sparrow> bcm are not a problem
[04:03] <Drunken> well i need help for broadcom chipset
[04:03] <devilsreject> k
[04:03] <Drunken> but if were doing broadcom might as well do my inbuilt onw
[04:04] <devilsreject> and that will burn it like it need it to for the iso?
[04:04] <Jack_Sparrow> I am in the middle of another problem but the bcm43x are easy
[04:04] <POVaddct> Drunken: no, rt71 would be ralink, but this vendor/product id is broadcom (according to google)

[04:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about boradcom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

Here's the ?... what's really the difference in all these distros?!? I understand it probably is stemming from the development.. but is there really that much difference in them all?? thanks!!

[04:05] <POVaddct> Drunken: oh i see

[04:05] <kujo> hey guys, when partitioning a hard disk for Ubuntu, what should be larger - / or /home?
[04:05] <astro76> narothepharoh, I think devilsreject just set he used DeVeDe to do just that
[04:05] <astro76> *said
[04:05] <DarwinAwdWinner> probably /home
[04:06] <andyho623> brb.. but that'll give someone the chance to answer ;)
[04:06] <Toma-> narothepharoh: mandvd. dont repeat.
[04:06] <Evanlec> narothepharoh, yea i use DeVeDe, well once, didnt get it quite working yet
[04:06] <kujo> DarwinAwdWinner: thanks
[04:06] <s3a> Jack_Sparrow: sry my internet just disconected...it says it could not find a PTY
[04:06] <narothepharoh> well it got me some attention finally
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Drunken: I used fwcutter
[04:07] <DarwinAwdWinner> kujo: I usually leave 10 BG for /, and use the rest for /home
[04:07] <devilsreject> narothepharoh:  yeah great program what version of ubuntu u runnin
[04:07] <DarwinAwdWinner> I mean GB
[04:07] <whileimhere> I have a copy of the old Dragon's Lair CD for Win95 or DOS. I would love to get this game up and running but I have not had any luck. It totally runs off of the CD so I haven't managed to get WINE or DOSBOX to take it. Does anyone have any ideas?
[04:07] <bXi> okay whatever i try grub wont work

[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Drunken: I am in the middle of another problem...  check the repos or google if you cant wait.
[04:08] <Drunken> ok
[04:08] <Drunken> ill wait
[04:08] <Drunken> jsut im me when your done thanks for the help
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> s3a: One sec..
[04:09] <s3a> Jack_Sparrow:k
[04:09] <POVaddct> Drunken: AFAIK fwcutter is for cutting the firmware (needed by bcm43xx) out of the windows drivers
[04:09] <Drunken> im noob so that made no sense at all lol
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> s3a: Are there two places on hte back of your pc for that modem to be plugged in?
[04:10] <devilsreject> narothepharoh:  im runnin same thing, DeVeDe wouldn't burn the ISO for me after it convrted it... my pc took 5 hours to convert a 900 meg file to 1.9 gb file then the proggie said it was done and didn't burn it..... soo per astro76 i just right clicked that iso file it took soo long to create and clicked write to disc it sburning now 2 min eft we'll see if this works for real
[04:10] <POVaddct> Drunken: the problem is that broadcom gives a sh*t about supporting the open source community (at least for their wlan products)
[04:10] <xavierz> could anyone help me with zenwalk?
[04:11] <DarwinAwdWinner> with iso images, you don't need to waste a dvd just to test them
[04:11] <s3a> Jack_Sparrow: the back of my laptop has the 9 pin connection while the back of the modem has a 25 pin connection and the cable goes from 25 to 9 pin..
[04:11] <POVaddct> Drunken: that's why the bcm43xx driver is based on reverse engineering only
[04:11] <Evanlec> devilsreject, 5 hours? sounds a little long to me, whats ur cpu?
[04:11] <Drunken> i know
[04:11] <xargon> no one gives a shit about supporting open source for wlan stuff

[04:12] <Drunken> whats the command line for ubuntu is it sudo apt-get instal fwcutter
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> s3a: If it needs a driver for windows it may not be a hardware modem.  a few of those wer winmodems
[04:13] <Evanlec> Drunken, try it out ;p
[04:13] <devilsreject> Evanlec -- thats what i thought it is quite annoyng im gonna go see if this works it just got done burnin

[04:17] <kujo> oh, sorry. i cut and pasted
[04:17] <DarwinAwdWinner> sounds reasonable
[04:17] <Evanlec> kujo, i might give ur root partition a little more space
[04:17] <Rageon> anyone help me with my sound? it does not go very loud and when theres like a bass hit its crackles badly?
[04:17] <DarwinAwdWinner> 10 GB is actually fairly generous
[04:17] <Evanlec> kujo, just to be safe...
[04:17] <POVaddct> Drunken: well, looks like the file wl_apsta.o is not present anymore. cannot help you with that.
[04:17] <DarwinAwdWinner> it depends on how close you want to cut it
[04:17] <Evanlec> DarwinAwdWinner, oh okay, ur probly right, i dont know that much about it

[04:19] <astro76> Drunken, either find that file somewhere, or just install the .deb here http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/feisty-cafuego/bcm43xx/
[04:19] <Rageon> yer i think im running in root
[04:19] <devilsreject> yup for those who didn't know once u convert the .avi or whatever the file origonally may be then just right click on the iso that is crated and click wrtie to disc
[04:19] <Evanlec> devilsreject, u used default settings? did u run it from command line ?
[04:19] <devilsreject> default settings
[04:19] <devilsreject> just right clicked the iso file
[04:19] <devilsreject> write to dsc
[04:19] <DarwinAwdWinner> it's probably a good idea to make sure the iso plays ok first
[04:19] <Evanlec> no i mean in the conversion from avi to dvd
[04:19] <Drunken> sounds promising

[04:31] <Drunken> im trying to get that
[04:31] <xargon> the installer keeps getting stuck on partitioning part
[04:31] <astro76> Drunken, oh just download the .deb and install it
[04:31] <Drunken> i dunno how to install it
[04:31] <Drunken> if i download it
[04:31] <WinXpNewb> (rw,nosuid,nodev)
[04:31] <astro76> Drunken, double click on it... or in terminal dpkg -i
[04:32] <Drunken> ok ive done it now installign thanks
[04:32] <DarwinAwdWinner> Drunken, do you want to add the repository or just install that one package?
[04:32] <Drunken> i thoguht it was this impossible hard driver to install
[04:32] <Drunken> just install i think im adding the bcm43xx for the brodcom chipset
[04:32] <wastrel> WinXpNewb: it says rw...
[04:33] <Slart> Drunken: if you want to do what that page tells you click system, administration, software sources, third party software, add-button.. then copy paste that first line "deb bla bla bla"... do the same for the second line
[04:33] <WinXpNewb> Which means it should allow for copy pasting overwriting etc. correct?
[04:33] <Drunken> ah ok thanks slart but its says its installing nwo ill rember for next time thanks
[04:33] <wastrel> WinXpNewb: depending on permissions, i suppose so yes
[04:33] <panosru> Why when i install something with wine it not appear under Applications -> Wine? I asked #winehq but they told me that is Window Manager bug and i have to ask here
[04:33] <benzs_s> how do you delete fonts ?
[04:34] <wastrel> WinXpNewb: can you create a new file on the drive?
[04:34] <Slart> Drunken: you're welcome
[04:34] <WinXpNewb> let me try
[04:34] <WinXpNewb> No I can't. It gives me an error that say read-only file system
[04:34] <Drunken> so now thats installed my card should work
[04:34] <aguitel> anyone have proble in laptops with Fan ?
[04:35] <aguitel> my Fan never stops
[04:35] <astro76> WinXpNewb, if you want your user to be able to write to the whole drive, then do: sudo chown -R <user>:<user> /media/<mountpoint>
[04:35] <kreib> after an update to the image, does ubuntu edit the menu.lst ?
[04:35] <dmatysiak[home] > question: is there an ncurses installation wizard for 7.04? i tried a boot parameter mentioned in the 6.06 docs but to no avail.
[04:35] <astro76> WinXpNewb, replace <user> with your user name...
[04:35] <shk> does anyone know why my windows disappear when in cubeview on compiz?
[04:36] <Rageon> any programs where i can map my Logitech Gamepad to become my Mouse?
[04:36] <king> slm
[04:36] <Slart> dmatysiak[home] : you're looking for a console based installation? try the alternate install cd
[04:36] <elliotjhug> panosru: I don't think its a bug so much as a feature requirement. Ubuntu has never had that functionality as long as I remember. Might be worth submitting a blueprint about.
[04:36] <Slart> !alternate
[04:36] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[04:37] <WinXpNewb> astro, both <user>:<user> would be my user name?
[04:37] <panosru> I'm a bit confused because it works perfect on other machine

[04:37] <silk_sword> any biliing and accounting software can use in ubuntu ????
[04:37] <shk> search the add/remove dialog

[04:37] <panosru> actually is the same machine i just re-installed the system to other disk with more space
[04:37] <dmatysiak[home] > Slart, ah yes i see. thanks.

[04:37] <elliotjhug> silk_sword: Dunno if its for your purposes, but gnucash may do the job
[04:38] <elliotjhug> silk_sword: should be available in synaptic or add/remove
[04:38] <delagrandy> hello all ubuntu users
[04:38] <WinXpNewb> astro76: I think it changed ownership because a string of commands pop out when i typed the command but it's still read only

[04:40] <shk> Drunken, what are you looking for?
[04:41] <Drunken> my brodcom card

[04:42] <snupdc> Guys do u know how can i have vmware direct3d acceleration on XGL + Gnome?
 good
[04:42] <astro76> Drunken, unfortunately I hear you need ndiswrapper for that one... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4318_%5BAirForce_One_54g%5D
[04:42] <Drunken> whats bad for that
[04:42] <WinXpNewb> wastrel, how do I do that?
[04:42] <shk> Drunken, check out http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/dell.html
[04:42] <amadeux> I have added a share with the System->Administration->Shared Folders program. But it seems that some sort of SAMBA configuration is lacking, a user and password for instance. Where do I do that?
[04:42] <chrisjs169|brb> is there a package available to compare two zip archives?
[04:43] <astro76> Drunken, otherwise it would just work after adding the firmware
[04:43] <Drunken> thanks shk
[04:43] <Drunken> ok so install ndiswrapper and shoudl work fine
[04:43] <wastrel> WinXpNewb:  1. make sure you know what device the disk is.  ( /dev/sdb1  for example...)  it should show that in the output from   mount
[04:43] <Slart> amadeux: samba has it's own passwords and usernames I think.. I seem to remember a command line thingy... something like smbpw or smbpass
[04:43] <astro76> Drunken, no, read that link, it's more involved
[04:43] <Drunken> ok
[04:43] <snupdc>  Guys do u know how can i have vmware direct3d acceleration on XGL + Gnome?
[04:44] <Slart> chrisjs169|brb: how thorough do you want to be.. you could always compare md5 checksums
[04:44] <wastrel> WinXpNewb: 2.  unmount the drive by right-clicking the icon and choosing unmount .   3.  sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt      (replacing sdb1 with the correct device number)
[04:44] <Drunken> any one knwo where to get the driver files for bcmwl5.inf and sys
[04:44] <aguitel>  anyone have proble in laptops with fan ?
[04:45] <wastrel> WinXpNewb: then navigate to  /mnt   in nautilus.   also check the mount flags with   mount       also try your test again of creating a new file on the drive
[04:45] <amadeux> Slart: Ok, there is no ubuntu/gnome tool for this? It is a bit odd that I am allowed to add a new share in a very user friendly way, but then it doesnt prompt me for a username and password etc
[04:45] <shk> Drunken, ndiswrapper requires you to download the windows drivers - which you can get from the dell website
[04:45] <shk> or perhaps broadcom's website
[04:46] <wastrel> amadeux: Slart:  smbpasswd
[04:46] <Slart> amadeux: interesting point.. I have to agree.. all I've seen is a horrible web interface for configuring samba... swat I think it's called
[04:46] <wastrel> amadeux: there's SWAT but i don't know of a gnome GUI for doing that
[04:47] <wastrel> (swat = samba web administration tool)
[04:47] <Slart> amadeux: there might be something, somewhere.. but I've never seen it
[04:47] <amadeux> wastrel: doesnt have to be gnome, just something easy, since the task itself should be easy :)
[04:47] <wastrel> hah horrible web interface
[04:47] <wastrel> i've never used swat but once you've assigned the username/pwd with smbpasswd you won't need to do it again.
[04:47] <WinXpNewb> This is what I get wastrel: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdd1 is already mounted on /mnt
[04:48] <wastrel> the upshot is that samba is complicated
[04:48] <WinXpNewb> Also prior to unmounting it asked me if I wanted to empty trash so I did
[04:48] <WinXpNewb> Got an error that says couldn't unmount, tried again and it allowed me to
[04:48] <Drunken> see i need help im missing wl_apsta.o
[04:48] <wastrel> WinXpNewb: pick a different mount point :]    sudo mkdir /media/mydisk
[04:48] <chrisjs169|brb> Slart, I'm mostly just looking for a program to compare md5 checksums (or crc, like ark displays) between two zip archives, and output a list of changed files
[04:49] <AaronMT> Hey I was wondering if anyone is experiencing this problem, on a laptop, When resuming from standby (overnight), Network Manager Applet 0.6.4 is unable to connect to my wireless network. It attempts and fails saying that there are no available networks to be found. Anyone know of a solution?
[04:49] <astro76> Drunken, that guide doesn't use that at all
[04:49] <amadeux> wastrel: It asks me for my old SMB password and then asks me to enter the new one. I dont have an old password, so I tried my normal login password and I tried an empty password
[04:49] <amadeux> wastrel: in either case: Could not connect to machine 127.0.0.1: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
[04:49] <amadeux> Failed to change password for david
[04:49] <Drunken> but it says ndiswrapper when i installed it it said that it returned an error
[04:49] <chrisjs169|brb> Slart, something like unzipping the two archives into two different directories, recursively md5sum'ing one directory, and compairing the checksums to the other directory
[04:49] <shk> Drunken, check your private message
[04:50] <wastrel> amadeux: sudo smbpasswd -U username  maybe
[04:50] <astro76> Drunken, how did you install ndiswrapper?
[04:50] <Drunken> got no privert messages
[04:50] <Drunken> sudo apt-get ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[04:50] <shk> Drunken, can you tell me what your network card is in lspci
[04:51] <astro76> Drunken, you really need to follow the guide *exactly*, it has you remove ndiswrapper, then download the latest source and compile
[04:51] <Drunken> 02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[04:51] <zAKoO> hi
[04:52] <xargon> hey, im installing from alternate cd and it seems like its stuck in the select and install software option, at 6% where it says please wait
[04:52] <xargon> anyone have any ideas
[04:52] <Slart> chrisjs169|brb: well.. I was just thinking of getting the md5 of each zip file and comparing those.. but sure.. =)
[04:52] <WinXpNewb> wastrel, actually for some reason, it's working now. Any ideas what could've happen? I wasn't able to manage to mount it into a different directory. I just unplugged and replugged it several times and now it gave me access.
[04:52] <delagrandy> how to do swap partition
[04:52] <WinXpNewb> Could it be a sign of a buggy hd?
[04:52] <wastrel> WinXpNewb: maybe the drive was full?  (big file in the trash?)
[04:52] <wastrel> WinXpNewb: no real idea :] 
[04:52] <Slart> chrisjs169|brb: you're only interested in knowing if the files inside the archive are the same... so differences in compression settings etc doesn't count.?
[04:52] <amadeux> wastrel: thanks
[04:53] <astro76> !swap | delagrandy
[04:53] <xargon> delagrandy, run fdisk and set the file system as swap i think
[04:53] <ubotu> delagrandy: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[04:53] <shk> Drunken, try this guide; it worked for my bcm43xx card without needing to install ndiswrapper:
[04:53] <shk> http://www.linux-geek.org/2007/06/17/injection-capable-bcm43xx-driver-2620-16-generic-kernel/
[04:53] <pceow> lspci does not show my soundcard =(
[04:53] <WinXpNewb> Um...nope, it had 74.5 gb free space and it's an 80 gb
[04:53] <astro76> shk, Drunken bcm4318 does not work with open source driver, it needs ndiswrapper
[04:53] <delagrandy> that wuld help
[04:53] <delagrandy> and is kubuntu for 64 bit
[04:53] <WinXpNewb> Anyways, thanks
[04:53] <Drunken> well ive installed ndiswrapper
[04:53] <Tarkus> suse > fedora?
[04:54] <Zombine> Is there some way to get widescreen support on a graphics accelerator that Ubuntu supposedly has an out-of-the-box driver for?
[04:54] <shk> if you have ndiswrapper installed you just need to run the install command on the windows driver
[04:54] <Drunken> im following this one for now http://pryds.eu/ubuntu/7.04.php
[04:54] <wastrel> Zombine: maybe  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:54] <shk> Drunken, that should work fine
[04:54] <delagrandy> kubuntu is 64 bit
[04:55] <Drunken> tim@tim-laptop:~$ sudo ndiswrapper -l
[04:55] <Drunken> bcmwl5 : invalid driver!
[04:55] <Rageon> how do i make my pc shutdown in 2 hours?
[04:55] <chrisjs169|brb> Slart, no

[04:55] <astro76> Rageon, sudo shutdown -h +120
[04:55] <Slart> Rageon: check the man page for the shutdown command
[04:55] <Slart> Rageon: or do what astro says =)
[04:55] <grdnle> Why is it when I install a new linux kernel via the update manager it adds a second entry into grub?

[05:06] <shk> thanks
[05:06] <another> i did that but of no help !!!!!
[05:06] <dystopianray> shk: i recommend vnc, much easier than remote X
[05:07] <dystopianray> another: boot the livecd and reinstall grub
[05:07] <n08l3J> Evanlec, so that will bring up the command line, and this needed to be done before the gdm starts or anytime during the boot process
[05:07] <shk> dystopianray, will krfb work fine with gnome too?
[05:07] <dystopianray> shk: i don't see why not
[05:07] <another> it whn gave the command  find /boot/grub/stage1   it says "file not found"
[05:07] <Evanlec> n08l3J, u can do that anytime, or u can just boot into recovery mode to get directly to a tty

[05:10] <Evanlec> which would be easier/faster ?
[05:10] <wastrel> hrm is there freenx client for windows?
[05:10] <dystopianray> cables_malo: it means you either have no soundcard or it's not a pci soundcard
[05:10] <MartinW> How do you dial a modem on a networked windows computer from Ubuntu?
[05:10] <Evanlec> well if there wasnt then...that wouldnt be good
[05:10] <wastrel> yes there is :] 
[05:11] <Evanlec> oh yay
[05:11] <wastrel> Evanlec: but it's not at that link, it just shows you how to set up ubuntu
[05:11] <cables_malo> it is definately a PCI and it is a creative card
[05:11] <wastrel> you'll have to google for the windows client
[05:11] <cables_malo> i had driver probs in XP
[05:11] <another> Evanlec, help me
[05:11] <Evanlec> wastrel, right, so i setup the freenx server on ubuntu
[05:11] <dystopianray> cables_malo: pastebin your lspci output
[05:11] <Evanlec> but would vnc be easier/faster what do u think?
[05:11] <dystopianray> Evanlec: vnc is really easy
[05:12] <cables_malo> where is the paste site?
[05:12] <dystopianray> !paste | cables_malo
[05:12] <ubotu> cables_malo: 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)
[05:12] <Evanlec> whats the difference between the two, and is vnc freeware? (both the linux server and the windows client)
[05:13] <wastrel> Evanlec: freenx is newer and is supposedly better for slow connections.  i dunno, haven't done a real comparison
[05:13] <Evanlec> ok
[05:13] <dystopianray> Evanlec: there are free vnc clients for both windows and linux
[05:14] <wastrel> yeah vnc is probably easier at this point because you can just install from the repos
[05:14] <wastrel> you don't have to mess with the howto
[05:14] <Merlin-->  hello guys how can I using squid lower Ram Consumption and focus more on HDD space ?
[05:14] <wastrel> i just setup freenx at home and it's not too hard tho
[05:15] <Evanlec> over LAN it should run pretty quick, but how about over the net? on a standard 256k up cable service
[05:16] <wastrel> Evanlec: when you set up freenx it asks you what your connection will be so i assume it optimizes for slower speed if you tell it to
[05:16] <i-hate-wireless> grumble grumble grumble.
[05:17] <Evanlec> i c
[05:17] <wastrel> i'm running it over 802.11b and it's fine.  but that's not 256k :] 
[05:17] <another>  can't view the grub menu anymore tried the classical method of reinstalling grub from Super Grub Disk and terminal of the live cd . Don't know what to do .
[05:18] <thrashy> whats the equivilent of "wget" for ubuntu?
[05:18] <Samuel> hi, plz i need some help. i installed ubuntu 7.04 in my comp with the alt version!! but when i try to boot, it freezes at the 3rd bar at the boot splash screen, im desesperated
[05:18] <i-hate-wireless> another: are you getting an error
[05:18] <i-hate-wireless> thrashy: wget
[05:18] <dystopianray> thrashy: "wget"
[05:18] <Evanlec> lol
[05:18] <LjL> thrashy: best question of the day
[05:18] <Evanlec> haha
[05:18] <another> yes
[05:18] <gnomefreak> thrashy: wget
[05:18] <thrashy> lol
[05:19] <Inglor> hello, I have a graphics driver (fglrx) related problem, is there anyone here who might be able to help me?
[05:19] <thrashy> strange i just got a ubuntu vps and it says wget command not found :/
[05:19] <gnomefreak> linux commands really dont change its the dist. commands that change example= package manager commands
[05:19] <Kachna> hi buds
[05:19] <another> when i type find /grub/grub/stage1 it says file not found
[05:19] <gnomefreak> thrashy: install it if you didnt install ubuntu-desktop
[05:19] <i-hate-wireless> try installing it with apt?
[05:19] <dystopianray> thrashy: try installing it
[05:19] <LjL> thrashy: i don't know about vps, but sudo apt-get install wget if it's not there
[05:19] <Inglor> the problem is my resolution only goes as high as 1024 x 768
[05:19] <Evanlec> wastrel, can u point to the freenx client for windoze
[05:19] <another> i-hate-wireless : when i type find /boot/grub/stage1
[05:19] <jrib> !fixres > Inglor (read the private message from ubotu)
[05:19] <Inglor> fglrx is installed, under vesa I was able to get all resolutions
[05:19] <thrashy> ah that did the trick, heh thanks
[05:20] <Evanlec> wastrel, or atleast let me know what client you're using
[05:20] <xargon> i get an instalation error on the step configuring gnome-applets while installing from alternate cd
[05:20] <wastrel> Evanlec: sorry , no i have ubuntu on both machines.  google ;] 
[05:20] <Inglor> jrib, will try
[05:20] <Evanlec> wastrel, o k
[05:20] <silk_sword> how can i refresh the desktop ????
[05:20] <jrib> another: that search for files in the "/boot/grub/stage1" directory
[05:20] <Evanlec> wastrel, im just not sure if this Nomachine.com stuff is free
[05:20] <another> it says file not found
[05:20] <xtor_> Someone give me the best nntp client for Linux...something really sexy. Klibido doesn't seem to work well :(
[05:20] <jrib> Evanlec: I've used the windows client in the past, no cost
[05:21] <afd__> hi! I'm trying to undelete some files from a fat16 partition (photo camera memo card). Is there a command to do that?
[05:21] <another> jrib : it says file not found
[05:21] <silk_sword> can i refersh the desktop in ubuntu ???
[05:21] <jrib> another: which probably means /boot/grub/stage1 does not exist
[05:21] <Kachna> meh
[05:21] <i-hate-wireless> xtor_: "best" and "sexy" are relevant terms, and thus meaningless :P  search apt, install 'em all, pick the one that works for you :x
[05:21] <dystopianray> afd__: there is a program called 'photorec' i don't know if it's in the repos though
[05:22] <Evanlec> jrib, nomachine one? is decent also?
[05:22] <another> jrib: so how can i install the grub in mbr?
[05:22] <afd__> dystopianray: thanks, I'll look for it
[05:22] <jrib> Evanlec: client worked fine for me on windows
[05:22] <jrib> !grub > another (read the private message from ubotu)
[05:22] <dystopianray> afd__: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
[05:22] <another> jrib: i tried Super Grub Disk too but it doesn't help me
[05:23] <Kachna> just installed ubuntu(moved from deb), used sudo,no problem but now when i wanna login to console as root,it says incorrect pass---> how can i change it? :/ or what's the default pass?
[05:23] <another> jrib: i did that
[05:23] <i-hate-wireless> gahhhh.   someone make my wireless work. with wpa2. :'(
[05:23] <jrib> another: you need to say what you did, what happened, and what went wrong
[05:23] <dystopianray> Kachna: there is no root password
[05:23] <i-hate-wireless> Kachna: root is locked. you cant use it.
[05:23] <Kachna> doh
[05:23] <i-hate-wireless> use sudo ... sudo command ... then your pw
[05:23] <bjwebb> are there any ubuntu repos that have propeitary content other than multiverse?
[05:23] <Kachna> yep i know
[05:23] <jrib> !sudo > Kachna (read the private message from ubotu)
[05:23] <dystopianray> Kachna: if you want a root shell use sudo -i
[05:23] <Kachna> just wanted to try a thing...
[05:23] <another> ok i reinstalled windows xp and the grub menu is vanished
[05:23] <dug_> bjwebb: medibuntu
[05:23] <Kachna> ok ty
[05:24] <bjwebb> dug_: i meant actual ubuntu repos
[05:24] <bjwebb> see im trying to avoid the propeitary, rather than looking for it
[05:24] <jrib> bjwebb: canonical commerical repos if you count those as ubuntu
[05:24] <AaronMT> Hey I was wondering if anyone is experiencing this problem, on a laptop, When resuming from standby (overnight), Network Manager Applet 0.6.4 is unable to connect to my wireless network. It attempts and fails saying that there are no available networks to be found. Anyone know of a solution?
[05:24] <bjwebb> jrib: rite
[05:24] <another> accord to ubotu i should go through live cd which i did and followed the instruction s
[05:24] <Walkermag> Could someone help me setup my RAID 0 for 2 drives?
[05:25] <bjwebb> only reason im asking is that repos manager in adept lists multiverse _and_ propeitary drivers
[05:25] <Kachna> another, grub-install must bring it back :O
[05:25] <Walkermag> I'm running into Grub problems.
[05:25] <jrib> bjwebb: oh, the restricted component too
[05:25] <dug_> i-hate-wireless: what wireless card are you using
[05:25] <wastrel> bjwebb: install vrms
[05:25] <another> i tried using Super Grub Disk
[05:25] <Zombine> what's the button for the selection of radio buttons in the Terminal?
[05:26] <jrib> Zombine: space bar
[05:26] <wastrel> Zombine: you can use the space bar
[05:26] <i-hate-wireless> dug_: dlink-dwl g122 usb adapter. rev b1. ralink chipset.  i've tried the serialmonkey drivers, i've tried ndiswrapper. i'm about to try dynamite, and a blowtorch.
[05:26] <bjwebb> wastrel: lol, i did, it says the linux kernel is non free :S
[05:26] <another> Does Super GRUB Disk solve the problem
[05:26] <Zombine> thaks guys :D
[05:26] <another> but it did not do for me
[05:26] <bjwebb> mind you, are modules compiled into the kernel?
[05:26] <Kachna> k the trouble,tried everything i could think about - i downloaded latest ati drivers for radeon, but when i run their .run thingy,it uncompresses,detects configuration and quits without any error,any suggestion?
[05:26] <wastrel> linux-restricted-modules ?
[05:26] <dug_> i-hate-wireless: oh sorry, i could help if you had a dell or broadcom wireless card, i'm not familiar with d-link cards in ubuntu
[05:27] <i-hate-wireless> dug_: count your blessings :P
[05:27] <wastrel> bjwebb: the purpose of modules is to not be compiled in :]   they're modular, like plugins
[05:27] <Walkermag> Could someone guide me through setting up RAID 0.
[05:27] <Kachna> http://www.pastebin.cz/show/2008
[05:27] <Walkermag> Barely can find anything.
[05:27] <i-hate-wireless> actually, i cant knock d-link. my laptop's d-link was a breeze. even when i had to go the madwifi route on zen.
[05:27] <bad_cables_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38362/
[05:28] <bad_cables_> that shows no soundcard
[05:28] <dug_> i-hate-wireless: yeah, i don't blame d-link, I actually have a d-link router I'm using now, but not the card :)
[05:28] <another> i am not that good at following the grub-install can anybody tell me the step by step method of grub install. or the proper method of grub-install
[05:29] <xargon> how do i boot into recovery mode?
[05:29] <jrib> xargon: it's a choice at the grub menu
[05:29] <i-hate-wireless> i'm just peeved because i searched the list of compatible devices, and there was one good mention of this in a wiki, and the external link from the wiki lists this card as green.
[05:29] <bbx14> are there any good linux IRC clients with a windows version? i'm reluctant to use mIRC on my windows box and would prefer open source
[05:29] <Walkermag> Another, You using RAID?
[05:29] <bjwebb> wastrel: why does rms say my acutal kernel is non free?
[05:29] <wastrel> bjwebb: i couldn't tell you
[05:29] <another> wht that? :(
[05:29] <Walkermag> Nvm
[05:29] <i-hate-wireless> i guess it's time to buy a third adapter. :|
[05:29] <SiLOX_> Hi - Im having a problem with my IBM T60 Laptop with a Intel Graphiccard. It doesnt seem to have 3d acceleration activated... What should i do?
[05:29] <jrib> bbx14: there's filezilla
[05:30] <jrib> bbx14: ack, I mean chatzilla
[05:30] <Kachna> bbx14, XChat pwnz :-)
[05:30] <bad_cables_> anyone know how to install a soundcard that isn't shown in lspci? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38362/
[05:30] <i-hate-wireless> i think i irssi has a win client, or something close
[05:30] <dystopianray> SiLOX_: what model of intel graphics is it?
[05:30] <dystopianray> bad_cables_: is it an ISA card?
[05:30] <bbx14> jrib: thanks
[05:30] <another> but before reinstallation of windows xp the grub menu was working fine
[05:30] <bbx14> wireless hater: cool will try that too
[05:30] <SiLOX_> dystopianray: Wait a sec
[05:30] <bad_cables_> i am certain because i dont have any ISA slots
[05:30] <i-hate-wireless> xchat does not pwn.  but i'm using mirc right now, so i should shut up
[05:31] <bad_cables_> and i can see it
[05:31] <bad_cables_> the case is open
[05:31] <dystopianray> bad_cables_: try plugging it into a different slot
[05:31] <i-hate-wireless> another: and you're sure your ubuntu partition still exists?
[05:31] <Kachna> i-hate-wireless, well,didn't find any better for me,but it depends on what user needs :P
[05:31] <bad_cables_> should i turn my box off?
[05:31] <bad_cables_> lol
[05:31] <another> yes
[05:31] <dystopianray> bad_cables_: yes
[05:31] <bad_cables_> haha
[05:31] <Walkermag> Has anyone setup a successful RAID0 setup?
[05:31] <another> i went into it through Super Grub Disk
[05:31] <dystopianray> bad_cables_: unless you want to be a hero and hotswap pci
[05:32] <xargon> question, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsDell according ot that, i need to type the command dpkg-reconfigure -plow-free86 for my inspiron 8000 to work right
[05:32] <SiLOX_> dystopianray: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM
[05:32] <n08l3J> Alright I am back Evanlec, when i did the Alt+ctrl+F1 it did start up with bunch of text saying [OK]  on the right side, but it did indeed tried to start the gdm, and then once it failed, it just hanged saying running the scripts in /etc/rc.d.local
[05:32] <xargon> cept i get an error when i do that
[05:32] <dystopianray> SiLOX_: are you running feisty?
[05:32] <i-hate-wireless> you can leave it on if you want, granted you promise to record it and upload the aftermath to youtube. :x
[05:32] <n08l3J> how long does this take usually,as for me its taking for ever
[05:32] <SiLOX_> dystopianray: No Gutsy BETA - but its the same in Feisty
[05:32] <Evanlec> n08l3J, okay, i'd boot into recovery mode then
[05:32] <dystopianray> !gutsy | SiLOX_
[05:32] <ubotu> SiLOX_: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[05:32] <another> i saw that the windows xp is in media/disk
[05:32] <bad_cables_> i tried hotswap once... i got a bolt of lightning
[05:32] <bad_cables_> brb
[05:32] <i-hate-wireless> another: i really have no idea what to tell you. did you follow the recovery method as listed in !grub ?
[05:33] <bad_cables_> this is xubuntu btw
[05:33] <another> yes
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[05:33] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:33] <n08l3J> how do i do that Evanlec
[05:33] <n08l3J> ?
[05:33] <bad_cables_> and when i select terminal from the accessories menu, i have to log back into Xfce or i crash hard
[05:33] <another> but i am not able to follow the command "grub-install"
[05:34] <Evanlec> n08l3J, when u boot up u should have a menu, like a list of OS to boot up, if not press ESC when u say any grub text, usually after POST
[05:34] <Evanlec> *see
[05:34] <Evanlec> then select recovery mode from that menu
[05:35] <another> shall i boot into ubuntu through Super Grub Disk and come back to this channel
[05:35] <another> ?
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> another: Run this command and paste the text file to the pastebin..   sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt
[05:35] <Samuel> hi, i need some help.  i installed ubuntu 7.04 in my comp with the alt cd, but when i try to boot, the splash screen freezes at the third bar, around 13%
[05:35] <n08l3J> is there any shortcut for it ? as i don't really see the recovery mode text in the grub, but i will try that anyway
[05:35] <n08l3J> do i need to press any combination to get to that screen ?
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> another: NExt time use dd to make a backup of your mbr to avoid this kind of problem
[05:36] <Samuel> i heard the alt version was more flexible and so i installed it, but it happens with the regular cd also.
[05:36] <afaith> is there anybody around here that uses epiphany ?
[05:36] <xargon> what file is the horizsync and the vertsync stored in?
[05:36] <jrib> afaith: best to just ask the channel your next question and see if anyone knows the answer
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> xargon: xorg.conf
[05:36] <xargon> thanks
[05:37] <afaith> jrib: what ? what do you mean ?
[05:37] <xargon> Jack_Sparrow, err, where is this file?
[05:37] <i-hate-wireless> Samuel: edit the kernel boot options... nosplash quiet  ... this wont fix your problem, but it will let us know where the kernel panics ... and perhaps someone will have an idea then
[05:37] <dystopianray> afaith: just ask your question
[05:37] <Jack_Sparrow> xargon: /etc/X11
[05:37] <jrib> afaith: you asked if there was anyone around here that used epiphany.  It's best to just ask your next question instead of waiting for someone to say "yes"
[05:37] <another> Jack_Sparrow : thnks for helllping me out will give u out put in a short time since my guest have come and i have to go
[05:37] <Samuel> i-hate-wireless, ok ill try thanks
[05:38] <afaith> dystopianray: that's my question. to see if there are epiphany users. i want them to tell  me their oppinion about it :)
[05:38] <Jack_Sparrow> another: I was leaving anyhow
[05:38] <n08l3J> Is the recovery mode is available in the menu.lst file ?
[05:38] <n08l3J> for grub
[05:38] <r_rehashed> hi all
[05:38] <afaith> jrib: i know that, but after that yes, i can quote that persons name and ask her oppinion:)
[05:38] <dystopianray> afaith: so just ask that straight away "can somebody give me their opinion of epiphany?" or similar
[05:38] <r_rehashed> i downloaded AstroMenace
[05:38] <another> anyways ok somebody else might help me out thnks
[05:38] <i-hate-wireless> why not install it, and form your own opinion afaith?
[05:38] <Jack_Sparrow> afaith: Then you are in the wrong room... this isnt the discussion or epiphany room
[05:39] <afaith> i-hate-wireless: because i'm not at home, not using my pc and so on
[05:39] <Exocrist> Hi, my friend has a Dell 1420 Inspiron, running Fesity Fawn 7.04, and upgraded his Intel graphics driver, and now his VLC doesn't work - any hints?
[05:39] <afaith> Jack_Sparrow: epiphany is a gnome browser. as I know, ubuntu is Gnome based :)
[05:39] <r_rehashed> but it doesn't install. gives the error "export: 91: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf:: bad variable name" when i try to run "sh game_launcher" under sudo.
[05:39] <r_rehashed> what does the error mean?
[05:39] <Walkermag> Does anyone know how to setup a RAID0 setup?
[05:39] <Evanlec> Exocrist, i'd try re-installing VLC player, long as everything else works
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> afaith: Just because it is gnome based dosent make this a room for discussing it
[05:40] <dystopianray> Exocrist: how did he upgrade his drivers?
[05:40] <Exocrist> Evanlec: thanks
[05:40] <Walkermag> Everytime I try, GRUB won't install.
[05:40] <jrib> afaith: it's a fine browser, try it when you get a chance.  This channel is more for support if you are having problems with something.  #ubuntu-offtopic is a good place for opinion questions
[05:40] <Evanlec> Walkermag, thats sort of beyond the scope of ubuntu, unless you mean setting it up in ubuntu
[05:40] <afaith> Jack_Sparrow: it more likely to meet a epiphany user on #ubuntu rather than on #ubuntu :)
[05:40] <Exocrist> dystopianray : he said he downloaded them from "some website", and did "something with xorg.conf", but doesn't know what exactly
[05:40] <xargon> Jack_Sparrow, can i add those two lines anywhere in the conf file or does it ahve to be in a specific spot?
[05:40] <dystopianray> Exocrist: tell him to reinstall
[05:40] <afaith> ok jrib. thanks, i will
[05:40] <Exocrist> dystopianray: thanks
[05:40] <dystopianray> Exocrist: he's probably broken his system
[05:40] <Andy50> anyone familiar with oident ?
[05:41] <Jack_Sparrow> xargon: specific spot..  would you like to see my xorg.. as a ref?
[05:41] <Exocrist> dystopianray: i know, he's pretty new to linux
[05:41] <xargon> Jack_Sparrow, sure, can you put it on pastebin
[05:41] <dystopianray> Exocrist: tell him to not download or install anything from "some website" again without consulting someone who knows what they are doing
[05:41] <Jack_Sparrow> xargon: Heck, your no fun.. I wanted to flood the channel...
[05:41] <i-hate-wireless> why do people download things, and do things when they dont know exactly what theyre doing? and whyyyy dont they make backups?
[05:41] <xargon> lol <3
[05:41] <Exocrist> dystopianray:  he sid he already tried reinstalling VLC, he probably didn't backup his xorg.conf either
[05:42] <sharperguy> can I run bat files with wine?
[05:42] <Evanlec> Exocrist, have him do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server and use defaults
[05:42] <dystopianray> Exocrist: reintalling the i810 driver may help, but who knows what else he has screwed up
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> xargon: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38367/  hope that helps
[05:42] <dystopianray> Evanlec: he's broken his driver
[05:42] <Exocrist> Evanlec and dystopianray: will do, thanks
[05:42] <xargon> Jack_Sparrow, thanls
[05:42] <Evanlec> but cant he still use the default driver?
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> vesa
[05:43] <BUGx1> i-hate-wireless:  because they are recent Windows users and thats all they know?
[05:43] <r_rehashed> is there a ubuntu channel for gaming?
[05:43] <Evanlec> yea, vesa i spose..
[05:43] <Evanlec> there's no open intel driver?
[05:43] <Andy50> anyone setup an identd server ?
[05:43] <dystopianray> Evanlec: there are two intel drivers
[05:44] <Exocrist> evanlec: i think he is using the open intel driver, but i think he broke something with vlc, because he says that vlc quitting is his problem
[05:44] <Exocrist> *broike something with xorg
[05:44] <Jack_Sparrow> all the more reason to go to vesa and sort it out
[05:44] <darkangel> hello is this working is the ununtu channel
[05:44] <Evanlec> Exocrist, but he still has a GUI/x ?
[05:44] <dystopianray> darkangel: yes this is the ubuntu channel
[05:45] <i-hate-wireless> errrr. no.
[05:45] <mnemo> darkangel: its working, welcome! :-)
[05:45] <Exocrist> evanlex: yes
[05:45] <Evanlec> Exocrist, i dunno, the two issues could be unrelated
[05:45] <darkangel> cool i dont like the ubuntu irc thing so im using wine for the one i like mirc
[05:45] <Exocrist> evanlec: well, the only issue is that vlc doesn't work, and it happened after he upgraded his inteldriver (whic is when he messed up his xorg.conf), sorry if i was unclear
[05:45] <Evanlec> mIRC is ... bleh ;p
[05:45] <darkangel> i have no sound agiain
[05:46] <wastrel> another win for xchat-gnome
[05:46] <Jack_Sparrow> darkangel: when you get a chance.. check out konversation or xchat...
[05:46] <i-hate-wireless> xchat-gnome is vile.
[05:46] <Evanlec> Exocrist, okay but if he messed up his xorg.conf he'd be having a lot more problems than one application...
[05:46] <Exocrist> he got an error message when running that dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server
[05:46] <Jack_Sparrow> and xchat and xchat-gnome are different animals..
[05:46] <Exocrist> evanlec: that's true
[05:46] <Evanlec> i say another win for Xchat ;p
[05:46] <i-hate-wireless> Jack_Sparrow: indeed they are
[05:47] <Evanlec> xchat-gnome is...stripped down too far
[05:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Exocrist: did he run it with sudo?
[05:47] <i-hate-wireless> i suppose it's supposed to be user friendly, but ew.
[05:47] <Exocrist> yes
[05:47] <i-hate-wireless> do you know what error he got?
[05:47] <Evanlec> Exocrist, that syntax might be incorrect?
[05:47] <Evanlec> i dont know
[05:48] <Evanlec> think thats right tho
[05:48] <Exocrist> it complained that "xorg-server is not installed"
[05:48] <mtx1> trying to get twinview to work and everytime i set it i get this error "The XRandR X extension was not found.  This extension must be supported by the X server and enabled for display configuration settings to be dynamically applicable." anyone know what im doin wrong? i have googled the problem but have found no solution
[05:48] <i-hate-wireless> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? dpkg reconfigure xorg<tab> ?
[05:48] <staar2_> hi
[05:48] <i-hate-wireless> i use that all the time and i suddenly cant remember the command. awesome.
[05:49] <Evanlec> lol
[05:49] <wastrel> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:49] <wastrel> "sudo"
[05:49] <Exocrist> hehe
[05:49] <staar2_> i have problem i need to write Cd-rw image which program should i use (GNOME)
[05:49] <i-hate-wireless> yaaaay.  i was right.
[05:50] <Evanlec> staar2_, there's lots, but u might try Gnomebaker
[05:50] <dystopianray> staar2_: you should be able to just right click on it and theres an option to burn it
[05:50] <Exocrist> he says nothing autocompletes when he hits tab
[05:50] <Evanlec> yea thats the easiest way, if u have an .iso to begin with
[05:50] <staar2_> k ill try it
[05:51] <Evanlec> xorg-server is not installed? lol
[05:51] <Evanlec> thats a new one
[05:51] <i-hate-wireless> Evanlec: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:51] <aguitel>  anyone have problem in laptops with fan ?
[05:51] <i-hate-wireless> aguitel: dell?
[05:51] <aguitel>  anyone have problem in laptops with fan ? it never stop
[05:51] <aguitel> sony vaio
[05:51] <Evanlec> aguitel, yea its a problem with acpi
[05:51] <i-hate-wireless> oh. i'm more familiar with the "fan never starts" camp
[05:51] <Evanlec> a bug
[05:52] <Evanlec> i believe
[05:52] <aguitel> how solve this ?
[05:52] <Samuel> ok, this is what happens, when i boot it stops at the loading hardware drivers and once some percent is done, it starts to do an aparent infinite iteration of 2 things, i cant stop it, ctrl + alt + supr wont work and bloq num and caps lock wont respond either, i cant read what does it say
[05:52] <Evanlec> aguitel, i thinkt he easiest fix is either disable ACPI or upgrade your kernel
[05:52] <dystopianray> Evanlec: disabling acpi is a very bad idea for a notebook
[05:52] <Evanlec> mm, good point
[05:52] <Evanlec> upgrade kernel then ;p
[05:53] <aguitel> Evanlec, how disable acpi ?
[05:53] <Samuel> xD
[05:53] <dystopianray> aguitel: don't do it
[05:53] <Samuel> HELP!
[05:53] <Evanlec> aguitel, dont disable acpi, upgrade your kernel
[05:53] <aguitel> i have the last kernel
[05:53] <staar2_> gnomebaker writes only iso-s ?
[05:53] <Exocrist> so it turns out nothing autocompleted because it said there were 1601 options, did he want to see them
[05:53] <Exocrist> so were seeing what we can find
[05:53] <W8TAH> Hi guys -- is there a cad program out there for ubuntu -- preferably in synaptic - that will read DWG and DXF formats?
[05:53] <rado_> hi, can anyone tell me why cant i CD to Desktop?
[05:54] <aguitel> Evanlec ,but tell me how disable acpi
[05:54] <rado_> i type "cd Desktop" and it says no such file or directoryu
[05:54] <W8TAH> rado_: are you in your home directory?
[05:54] <kst> rado_ what does "ls" say?
[05:54] <kst> or "pwd"
[05:54] <Samuel> aguitel, dont disable it, its a very bad idea on notebooks, according to what ppl say here
[05:54] <rado_> well first i type
[05:54] <rado_> cd ./
[05:55] <rado_> and then try cd Desktop
[05:55] <wastrel> cd ~/Desktop
[05:55] <rado_> pwd gives "/"
[05:55] <W8TAH> rado_: type pwd and let me know what it says?
[05:55] <darkangel> when i want to load my sound card at start how do i do it (im using fiesty)
[05:55] <aguitel> Shmuel ,what happens if i disable ?
[05:55] <rado_> ohh
[05:55] <rado_> i made it
[05:55] <kst> rado_ you're not in your home dir then
[05:55] <rado_> thanks wastrel
[05:55] <rado_> i moved to desktop by typing ~/Desktop
[05:55] <kst> cd ./ does basically nothing, . is your current directory so you still are in the same path
[05:55] <grdnle> I updated my kernel and now my wireless (ndiswrapper) isn't working
[05:55] <rado_> ic...
[05:56] <nicolah> I'd need to fix this http://pastebin.ca/708092
[05:56] <Samuel> aguitel, i dont know, dystopianray said it
[05:56] <kst> ~ stands for your home dir
[05:56] <rado_> kst is it normal that when i enter File System i cant move files
[05:56] <dystopianray> grdnle: how did you upgrade your kernel?
[05:56] <kst> if you type "cd" without any arguments, you'll get taken to your home dir
[05:56] <rado_> i can only do it by terminal
[05:56] <grdnle> dystopianray: Through the gnome update manager
[05:56] <kst> rado_  depends where in your filesystem you are
[05:56] <koer> anyone recommend a good video editor that can handle the format from bery vid-cap and transformed into .avi with mencoder ?
[05:56] <aguitel> Samul ,but i whant to try to disable acpi
[05:56] <kst> most folders are not accessible for you as normal user, only for root
[05:56] <kst> it should work in your homedir tho
[05:56] <dystopianray> aguitel: i wouldn't recommend it
[05:56] <heguru> nicolah: it says you need pidgin. what are you trying to install?
[05:56] <rado_> but
[05:57] <rado_> i logged in as root
[05:57] <nicolah> heguru, pidgin is installed. I'm trying to install pidgin-rhythmbox plugin
[05:57] <rado_> i mean when ubuntu starts
[05:57] <kst> how did you login as root?
[05:57] <dystopianray> aguitel: disabling acpi will cripple your laptop's power saving capabilities
[05:57] <rado_> i use my user and pass
[05:57] <xargon> yosh it works!
[05:57] <rado_> that i typed during installation
[05:57] <Samuel> when i boot it stops at the loading hardware drivers and once some percent is done, it starts to do an aparent infinite iteration of 2 things, i cant stop it, ctrl + alt + supr wont work and bloq num and caps lock wont respond either, i cant read what does it say
[05:57] <heguru> nicolah: how did you install pidgin? .deb package? or from source or other way?
[05:57] <darkangel> how do i load my sound card at start is the sommand just sudo modprobe snd-es1688
[05:58] <staar2_> what cd writer should i use to write bin files ????
[05:58] <heguru> darkangel: open the file /etc/modules add to the end snd-es1688
[05:58] <kst> dont think you're root then rado_
[05:58] <dystopianray> darkangel: do you have an es1688 sound card?
[05:58] <rado_> kst o ic..
[05:58] <rado_> kst can you tell me how to install packages?
[05:58] <rado_> i downloaded some .tar files
[05:58] <rado_> but i should compile rightg?
[05:58] <Nekralixir> rado_, you can try sudo su
[05:59] <rado_> sudo su?
[05:59] <rado_> oic
[05:59] <wastrel> sudo -i
[05:59] <Nekralixir> ahha
[05:59] <ndube_> test
[06:00] <rado_> wastrel i tried "sudo -i" and i got lost
[06:00] <koer> how can i log in as root ?
[06:00] <rado_> ^^
[06:00] <peepsalot> I am having some wireless problems.  The NetworkManager icon makes it look like I am connected to my wireless network, but I can't ping anything.  any ideas what this could mean?  I recently flashed my router's firmware, so I'm sure it's probably a setting there.  But I always thought that if networkManager showed those connection bars, then you would at least be able to ping the router
[06:00] <rado_> i cant change to Desktop now
[06:00] <rado_> x.x
[06:00] <Nekralixir> it just does the same thing
[06:00] <Nekralixir> cept put you in root's home folder
[06:01] <koer> how do i log in as root ?
[06:01] <MrPink> lo
[06:01] <nicolah> heguru, I installed pidgin using synaptic. Btw I fixed the problem installing the plugin directly from synaptic instead of installing it manually. thanks
[06:01] <heguru> MrPink: hello
[06:01] <xtknight> koer, sudo -i
[06:01] <MrPink> hey heguru ;)
[06:01] <koer> hehe thx
[06:01] <rsk> koer: sudo -i afaik, but why do you want to do that?
[06:01] <koer> just put a skin on my clock
[06:01] <wastrel> rado_: sudo -i gives you root permission.  you don't need it for normal operations
[06:01] <xtknight> eh?
[06:02] <heguru> MrPink: how are you. and how is you compiz struggle going?
[06:02] <wastrel> rado_: type "exit" to get back to before
[06:02] <darkangel> when i run sudo nano /etc/modules how do i save

[06:03] <trixz> anyone have experience troubleshooting nvidia drivers? i can't get them to work for some reason =x
[06:03] <rado_> wastrel well i open them but i need a command to compile them right?
[06:03] <darkangel> would i run sudo modprobe snd-es1688 to load my sound card
[06:03] <darkangel> at boot
[06:03] <caronte23> hi everyone, I just installed ubuntu, now I wanted to install amule, but the manager doesn't find it... any help...?

[06:03] <nox-Hand> xtknight: Lemme check, good point. rsk brb, checking.

[06:09] <xtknight> nox-Hand, try "sudo update-initramfs -u" to update /lib/modules and stuff (i believe)
[06:10] <rado_> but how to install packages i download over the net?
[06:10] <nox-Hand> It's after I restored my Ubuntu due to a broken syste

[06:10] <darkangel> can i close the terminal after i start wine
[06:10] <another> i-hate-wireless:  can u help me out by looking at this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38369/
[06:10] <xtknight> you then install build-essential for the basic make toolset, and follow the compiliation instructions
[06:10] <rado_> xtknight: i'll take a look at the link, thanks
[06:11] <omerta> ahh, people who know what theyre doing
[06:11] <dystopianray> darkangel: no
[06:11] <xtknight> rado_, and hopefully anyone here can help you with errors during compilation.  90% of errors during compiles are caused by missing dependencies, and they're not always obvious to spot
[06:11] <rado_> xtknight do you know where KVIrc gets stored? because i try to find it with no success
[06:11] <xtknight> rado_, "dpkg -L kvirc" to list files in a package.  it will give you some clue

[06:13] <overclucker> pdxkid, is it loaded as a module?

[06:13] <pdxkid> xtknight - i am just discovering that the hard way...lots of head banging
[06:13] <xtknight> pdxkid, the most reliable way i've found is to just nuke the raid partitions in question.  even then it lingers, sometimes.
[06:13] <omerta> its the iso thats corrupt
[06:13] <xtknight> pdxkid, after nuking them you can remove them from an mdadm config file, and run "sudo update-initramfs -u"
[06:13] <pdxkid> the problem is that i've got 3 raid partitions....i need to keep one of them and blow out 2 of them..
[06:13] <another> can anybody help me reinstall  grub-menu
[06:13] <undauntedspirit> xtknight:  Thanks, took me a minute to figure it out even after you told me.

[06:14] <xtknight> rado_, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[06:14] <omerta> the link on the home page
[06:14] <caronte23> sorry guys, how can I log as root on the terminal...? During ubuntu installation I wasn't asked to set a root passw, and now I can't  do "su"...??
[06:14] <dystopianray> rado_: you need to install build-essential
[06:14] <pdxkid> xtknight - i would like to blow out /dev/md1 but keep /dev/md0
[06:14] <dystopianray> caronte23: sudo -i
[06:14] <rado_> dystopianray: what will that do?
[06:14] <Icon> Anyone know why when I boot fluxbox the fonts are all large until I run the gnome-fonts applications? At that point I also have to restart fluxbox for the toolbar font to be correct as well.
[06:15] <dystopianray> rado_: allow you to compile applications
[06:15] <koer> You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "/usr/share/cairo-clock/themes       what do i do now ?
[06:15] <rado_> ic
[06:15] <pdxkid> xtknight - i have removed /dev/sdb2 from /dev/md1 but i can not remove /dev/sda2 since it reports "in use"
[06:15] <xtknight> pdxkid, ok.  type "sudo mdadm --detail /dev/md1"
[06:15] <acee1234> how can i enable root login?/
[06:15] <another> caronte23:  sudo root passwd
[06:15] <xtknight> pdxkid, give me the /dev devices that are on /dev/md1
[06:15] <darkangel> where can i find wigits (desktop calender stuff like that)
[06:15] <rado_> dystopianray:  so if i type "apt-get install packagename.tgz" it will install?
[06:15] <pdxkid> xtknight - the shows me the raid, now with only 1 device in it and reporting degraded
[06:15] <overclucker> what is needed to view pages like myspace? i mainly use firefox
[06:15] <xtknight> pdxkid, ok  in that case give me the /dev devices that were on /dev/md1 ;)
[06:15] <pdxkid> /dev/md1 now only has /dev/sdb2 on it
[06:16] <dystopianray> rado_: no
[06:16] <rado_> grr :(
[06:16] <dystopianray> rado_: apt does not deal with tgz files
[06:16] <dystopianray> rado_: you'll likely have to handle the tgz files manually
[06:16] <rado_> when i must untar it
[06:16] <pdxkid> sorry, it used to have /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sda2
[06:16] <xtknight> pdxkid,  so /dev/md1 was  /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 when it was healthy?
[06:16] <xtknight> ok
[06:16] <pdxkid> correct
[06:16] <rado_> and then "./configure": .. make .. and stuff
[06:16] <Oswy> Hey, how do I view embedded Divx vids on Firefox with Dapper? I've already downloaded the codec; do I just need to put on a certain player to read the codec?
[06:16] <dystopianray> rado_: probably
[06:16] <another> sorry guys it is sudo passwd root
[06:16] <xtknight> pdxkid, youve unmounted md1 right?
[06:16] <koer> You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "/usr/share/cairo-clock/themes     how can i gian the permission ?
[06:16] <rsk> thats wierd rado_
[06:16] <dystopianray> rado_: read the included instructions after you unpack the tgz
[06:16] <pdxkid> xtknight i removed it from /etc/fstab and rebooted so it wouldn't mount
[06:17] <rsk> that apt-get requires a build package
[06:17] <rsk> but build-essential should fix it
[06:17] <xtknight> pdxkid, sudo mdadm --stop /dev/md1
[06:17] <another> caronte23 : sudo passwd root
[06:17] <pdxkid> mdadm: fail to stop array /dev/md1: Device or resource busy
[06:17] <MrPink> what was the help site for repository and packages and stuff, someone called that up a while ago !blabla
[06:18] <xtknight> pdxkid, gksu gedit /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
[06:18] <xtknight> pdxkid, see something like this?
[06:18] <xtknight> ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid5 num-devices=3 UUID=850b9f88:f956c629:3f024b89:ae1c8b30  delete that line
[06:18] <dystopianray> koer: use sudo
[06:18] <darkangel> where can i find wigits (desktop calender stuff like that)
[06:18] <pdxkid> yes!
[06:18] <xtknight> pdxkid, not done yet though
[06:18] <another> somebody help me reinstall grub in mbr
[06:18] <TUXedomember> gdesklets
[06:18] <ryanakca> !grub | another
[06:18] <koer> sudo how ?
[06:18] <ubotu> another: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[06:18] <pdxkid> xtknight - can i just remove the md1 line from there?
[06:18] <Nekralixir> darkangel, gdesk something
[06:18] <xtknight> pdxkid, yea
[06:18] <pdxkid> xtknight - sweet!
[06:19] <pdxkid> that was the missing piece
[06:19] <another> ryankca : did try that
[06:19] <xtknight> pdxkid, after this, you wil run "sudo update-initramfs -u" immediately, or else md1 will still exist.
[06:19] <another> ryankca: but still no avail
[06:19] <koer> sudo how ?
[06:19] <TUXedomember> darkangel, gdesklets
[06:19] <pdxkid> xtknight - what does that command do in a nut shell?
[06:19] <rado_> rsk how do i handle a program that is in tar.gz ?
[06:19] <xtknight> pdxkid, it rebuilds your initrd and kernel i think.  somehow md1 is embedded in the kernel.  when you run that it will re-read mdadm.conf and update the kernel accordingly
[06:19] <rado_> i mean.. it should contain files that i can compile
[06:19] <ryanakca> latex question: hmmm... anybody know why the page numbers aren't in the bottom right corner and the author in the bottom left corner if I \usepackage{mrfr} ? http://pastebin.ca/708122 (mrfr.sty)
[06:19] <rado_> and have the real program
[06:19] <overclucker> which packages/plugins are needed to view myspace? i keep hittin this same wall, and it annoys the heck out of me.

[06:20] <dystopianray> rado_: unpack it and read the included instructions
[06:20] <pdxkid> xtknight - this is perfect - i am going to reboot now
[06:20] <rado_> README file?
[06:20] <xtknight> pdxkid, reboot after that and let me know if it works or else i have some more tips
[06:20] <pdxkid> xtknight - thank you SO much for your help
[06:20] <syntaxhome> join #ninja
[06:20] <dystopianray> rado_: it may have a README file, yes
[06:20] <pdxkid> xtknight - will do.  cheers!
[06:20] <xtknight> pdxkid, ya it was a pain fidning the help myself but #linux helped me with that
[06:20] <pdxkid> thanks to the others that chimed in to help - you all rock
[06:20] <rado_> dystopianray: one for the apps has only shit in the README file
[06:20] <rado_> :|
[06:20] <pdxkid> brb
[06:20] <rsk> rado_: ok unzip it with the archave manager
[06:20] <rado_> rsk i did already
[06:20] <rsk> rado_: go to the directory in the terminal and do ls
[06:20] <another> when i type find /grub/stage1  it says "file not found"
[06:20] <Icon> Well, that's strange, anyone know why I can't modify my own .bashrc?
[06:21] <rado_> rado and?>
[06:21] <rsk> rado_: pastebin the output
[06:21] <dystopianray> Icon: why can't you modify it?
[06:21] <Icon> dystopianray, says permission denied. Even though I'm the owner of the file.
[06:21] <rado_> rsk: http://pastebin.com/m49e05b8
[06:21] <another> Icon: prpbly u have to go in super user mode (su)
[06:21] <dystopianray> Icon: does the file have write perms?
[06:22] <dystopianray> another: no he doesn't
[06:22] <TUXedomember> hey can anyone help me hook up my ti-89ti to my ubuntu comp?
[06:22] <rsk> rado_: ok open terminal and go to the dir and type ./configure
[06:22] <dystopianray> TUXedomember: do you have the usb cable?
[06:22] <TUXedomember> yes
[06:22] <TUXedomember> and i'v got tilp
[06:22] <another> are  u sure?? systopianray
[06:22] <dystopianray> TUXedomember: you can't do anything with it, nobody has worked out how the cable works
[06:22] <dystopianray> another: yes, you don't need root privs to modify files you own
[06:22] <Icon> dystopianray, strange, it did have the wrong permissions, I guess that's what happens when you copy your files over from one machine to another with a USB drive.
[06:22] <rado_> rsk: http://pastebin.com/m10f7ec23
[06:23] <koer> You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "/usr/share/cairo-clock/themes   how can i gain permission
[06:23] <dystopianray> koer: sudo
[06:23] <another> well i though otherwise
[06:23] <trixz> anyone know why after installing nvidia drivers, i get a black screen when gdm/x loads? ;x
[06:23] <koer> i type sudo , the what ?
[06:23] <another> when i type find /grub/stage1  it says "file not found"      what do i do???
[06:23] <dystopianray> koer: then whatever command generated that error
[06:23] <MrPink> koer sudo and then the extract command
[06:24] <dystopianray> another: you're not using find properly
[06:24] <koer> im a ubuntu noob guys i duuno what that command is
[06:24] <another> what!!!!
[06:24] <dystopianray> another: find /boot -iname stage1
[06:24] <another> i don't get you
[06:25] <joshritger> I need an app to convert ID3v1 tags to ID3v2
[06:25] <dystopianray> another: that is how you use the find command
[06:25] <another> k can u help me out?
[06:25] <Nekralixir> koer, are you using the archive manager?
[06:25] <mechdave> koer: what do you want to do?
[06:25] <koer> extract a clock theme to the clock theme folder
[06:25] <koer> this is what i get
[06:25] <Nekralixir> koer, or were you using the tar command in terminal?
[06:25] <koer> You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "/usr/share/cairo-clock/themes
[06:25] <dystopianray> another: to use find to search for the stage1 file you type this: find /boot -iname stage1
[06:25] <koer> no
[06:25] <koer> file manager
[06:25] <pdxkid> xtknight - that worked!
[06:25] <pdxkid> thanks again
[06:26] <mechdave> koer: what is the file name of the theme?
[06:26] <xtknight> pdxkid, cool.  now just so it doesn't get any ideas I would reformat /dev/sda2 and /deb/sdb2
[06:26] <Pusur> How do I make Ubuntu automaticly enter the WPA-key for my network?
[06:26] <pdxkid> haha - on it now! already in fdisk :)
[06:26] <rado_> rsk: well?
[06:26] <xtknight> pdxkid, and remove raid flags from them, in gparted, etc
[06:26] <dystopianray> Pusur: network-manager can do that
[06:26] <matux> has anybody installed pidgin, right now i am usign it to chat in this IRC chanel , but, I have to run it from a terminal, how can I put a link from the internet menu?
[06:26] <koer> 64568-Ninjja-Slim-Clocks.tar.gz
[06:26] <another> dystopianray: still says file not found :(
[06:26] <pdxkid> xtknight - cool, thanks!
[06:26] <xtknight> no problem
[06:26] <dystopianray> another: so you don't have that file
[06:26] <koer> to:/usr/share/cairo-clock/themes
[06:26] <rsk> rado_: it says what you have to do in the output :P
[06:26] <joshritger> I installed pidgin from a debian package and the icon came up
[06:27] <matux> i installed from the source
[06:27] <xtknight> matux, try logging out and logging in again.  it might be a bug
[06:27] <TUXedomember> dystopianray, other people have hooked up their 89ti with a usbA to usbB cable to a ubuntu computer i just found out that u need a driver
[06:27] <another> what now?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38369/
[06:27] <pdxkid> later all - thanks again
[06:27] <mechdave> koer: Ok, the easy way is to open a terminal
[06:27] <koer> okay
[06:27] <matux> ok I'll give it a try
[06:27] <xtknight> matux, if you compile from source it might not regenerate the icon cache until you logout, whereas the deb packages do it immediately
[06:27] <dystopianray> TUXedomember: ok things may have changed since I last looked into it
[06:27] <xtknight> not sure how to do it maunally
[06:27] <mechdave> and then type sudo su
[06:27] <Pusur> dystopianray: Yeah, but how? It seems like it's already in the keyring-manager too, but still it wants me to type it in every time?
[06:27] <matux> ok, thanks i'll give it a try
[06:27] <darkangel> *cough*ubuntu wi-fi cracking program???*cough*
[06:27] <TUXedomember> ok
[06:28] <koer> okay
[06:28] <dystopianray> Pusur: is it asking you for your keyring password or the wpa password?
[06:28] <rado_> rsk: like i can understand it :(
[06:28] <another> dystopianray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38369/
[06:28] <xtknight> !info aircrack-ng | darkangel
[06:28] <Pusur> The WPA-key
[06:28] <mechdave> koer: enter your password when prompted
[06:28] <ubotu> darkangel: aircrack-ng: wireless WEP/WPA cracking utilities. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.6.2-7ubuntu1.1 (feisty), package size 186 kB, installed size 528 kB
[06:28] <koer> yep
[06:28] <dystopianray> darkangel: use kismet and aircrack-ng
[06:28] <koer> root@ubuntu
[06:28] <koer> then ?
[06:28] <rsk> rado_: im sorry i dont ahve time to explain right now
[06:28] <dystopianray> rado_: if you don't understand what you are doing, don't do it
[06:29] <Nekralixir> rado_, it says you should get the turbovision header files
[06:29] <mechdave> koer: and then type cd /usr/share/cairo-clock/themes
[06:29] <Nekralixir> rado_, in the last line
[06:29] <Nekralixir> rado_, try google for it
[06:29] <Pusur> Or, it would have asked for both the WPA-key and the keyring-password, if it wasn't for a nice guide I found on how to automaticly enter the keyring-password
[06:29] <mechdave> koer: then type tar -zxvf 64568-Ninjja-Slim-Clocks.tar.gz
[06:30] <dystopianray> mechdave: you'll need the full path to the archive
[06:30] <mechdave> koer: Then type exit (after it is all finished)
[06:30] <koer> the mes ?
[06:30] <overclucker> is there a hidden package for hydra somewhere?
[06:30] <mechdave> Oh Oops -- yes thanks I forgot
[06:30] <koer> you mea themes ?
[06:30] <koer> mean*
[06:31] <mechdave> koer:  I made a mistake
[06:31] <koer> lol
[06:31] <koer> okay
[06:31] <mechdave> koer: where is the theme file?
[06:31] <koer> /usr/share/cairo-clock/
[06:31] <koer> theme
[06:31] <koer> themes*
[06:31] <darkangel> how do i change the splash screen
[06:32] <SteveA> hi.  I'm using compiz gnome GL desktop.  When I switch workspaces (or viewports as compiz sometimes calls them) using ctrl+alt+left or right arrow, it shifts two workspaces at a time.
[06:32] <mechdave> koer: Ok so it is already in the themes folder?
[06:32] <overclucker> don't know why they wouldn't have hydra in the repo
[06:32] <Pusur> So, is there anything I can do? It's quite annoying having to type the WPA every single time
[06:32] <bulmer> Pusur: you can have your entry in the /etc/network/interfaces
[06:32] <rado_> Nekralixir: i installed TurboVision but still the say
[06:32] <rado_> same*
[06:32] <Man_id_Unknown> Does anyone know a goot tutorial on creating shared libraries with gcc?
[06:33] <Man_id_Unknown> Does anyone know a good tutorial on creating shared libraries with gcc?
[06:33] <jetscreamer> what you say?
[06:33] <pookey> hey all - does anyonw know what package  /usr/sbin/base-config is in?
[06:33] <koer> okay its in themes
[06:33] <koer> now what ?
[06:33] <dystopianray> Man_id_Unknown: did you try google?
[06:33] <bulmer> Man_id_Unknown: have you tried to google for such tutorial yet?
[06:33] <jetscreamer> pookey: apt-file does
[06:34] <Pusur> bulmer: What to write? =P
[06:34] <matux> thanks for the tip, it worked, but I have to restart my pc so the pidgin icon appeared in the internet men
[06:34] <heguru> Pusur: you don't have to type WPA key everytime if you are using pam_keyring (which i guess you are using)
[06:34] <pookey> jetscreamer: and what package is apt-file in?
[06:34] <jetscreamer> apt-get install apt-file && apt-file update
[06:34] <another> dystopianray: did u see the paste-bin?
[06:34] <bulmer> Pusur: hang on, let me look for the link i had
[06:34] <Man_id_Unknown> bulmer: dystopianray: Yes. I tried various tutorials. The shared library will compile, but when I try to create a program which links to it, there are tons of invalid references.
[06:34] <jetscreamer> then apt-file search or show
[06:34] <dystopianray> another: i did not
[06:35] <pookey> jetscreamer: is that in universe? it's not avaiable from any of my current sources
[06:35] <another> dystopianray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38369/
[06:35] <jetscreamer> !info apt-file
[06:35] <ubotu> apt-file: APT package searching utility -- command-line interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.8.2ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 12 kB, installed size 96 kB
[06:35] <koer> okay its in the themes folder now what ?
[06:35] <aguitel> how update the kernel ?
[06:35] <mechdave> koer: if the 64568-Ninjja-Slim-Clocks.tar.gz file is in /usr/share/cairo-clock/themes/ already, you just need to follow my instructions. If it is in a different folder you need to give the full path name to the file (if you can understand that :) )
[06:35] <jetscreamer> !find base-config
[06:35] <ubotu> Found: debian-edu-install
[06:35] <dystopianray> another: ok so why am I looking at that?
[06:36] <Pusur> I am using the pam_keyring, yes.
[06:36] <jetscreamer> phhht
[06:36] <aguitel> how update the kernel ?
[06:36] <dystopianray> aguitel: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:36] <koer> 6456689-ninja-slim....  is in my desktop
[06:36] <another> dystopianray: am not able to reinstall grub in mbr
[06:36] <heguru> Pusur: and you still need to enter WPA key every time? well perhaps you should try to delete the key from keyring and try again
[06:36] <aguitel> thanks dysto
[06:36] <Nekralixir> rado_, no ideas atm
[06:36] <heguru> Pusur: System -> Administration -> Keyring Manager
[06:36] <dystopianray> another: boot the livecd, mount the ubuntu partition, chroot in, grub-install --no-floppy /dev/blah
[06:36] <mechdave> koer: Ok no worries, leave it there
[06:36] <Pusur> I'll try that, then
[06:36] <Nekralixir> rado_, the app you're trying to compile wants the turbovision header files
[06:37] <nox-Hand> Is /lib/pretty much * supposed to be -rw-r--r--?
[06:37] <koer> in terminal im at the themes folder
[06:37] <rado_> Nekralixir:  i nstalled them but i dunno where its installed so i cant point the programs where to search for them :|
[06:37] <dystopianray> nox-Hand: mostly, yes
[06:37] <Nekralixir> rado_, you can try "find . | grep include" and sees if any turbovision pops up
[06:37] <koer> just tell me how to extract it
[06:37] <mechdave> so after sudoing in to root (as we just have done) you cd to your themes folder (as before)
[06:37] <koer> yep
[06:37] <nox-Hand> dystopianray: My entire file system apart from /home is read only in ubuntu
[06:37] <another> dystopianray: i don't know dev/blah
[06:37] <nox-Hand> I have no modules working because they can't be written with
[06:37] <Man_id_Unknown> Does anyone know a good tutorial on creating shared libraries with gcc?
[06:38] <nox-Hand> So my system is pretty much borked right now.
[06:38] <dystopianray> another: which drive do you want to install grub onto? /dev/sda or /dev/sdb ?
[06:38] <Nekralixir> rado_, I mean "find / | grep include"
[06:38] <dystopianray> nox-Hand: pastebin your dmesg
[06:38] <bulmer> Pusur: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[06:38] <nox-Hand> dystopianray: later, darn, dinner. Will do, but how can I paste it without net? will read when bacl
[06:38] <Usrl_> Question: gtkpod creates and tries to read my iPod from /media/ipod, but the iPod mounts to /media/FEBA'S IPOD
[06:38] <pookey> nox-Hand: what you doin' here? :P
[06:38] <Usrl_> How can I have gtkpod use the right direction?
[06:39] <another> dystopianray : don't know that's why i asked u to see the paste-bin
[06:39] <mechdave> all you need to type is tar -zxvf /home/koer/Desktop/64568-Ninjja-Slim-Clocks.tar.gz (providing your user name is koer)
[06:39] <bulmer> Man_id_Unknown: how are you linking your own program to the shared libraries? can you show your command?
[06:39] <dystopianray> another: /dev/sda is your first hdd, /dev/sdb is your second, one of them you want to install grub onto
[06:39] <Man_id_Unknown> bulmer: It's two commands;
[06:40] <another> dystopianray: is it my choice ? can i install in any of them????
[06:40] <Man_id_Unknown> bulmer: 	g++ -g -c $file_example.cpp  -o $file_example.o
[06:40] <jackie_> anou...
[06:40] <Man_id_Unknown> bulmer:
[06:40] <Man_id_Unknown> 	g++ -g -o $file_example $file_example.o -L -ltcore -ldl
[06:40] <jackie_> oh man
[06:40] <jackie_> I'm sorry to interrupt
[06:40] <jackie_> but I think I'm lost
[06:40] <jackie_> and this is probably a command line.
[06:40] <Man_id_Unknown> bulmer: (both)	g++ -g -c $file_example.cpp  -o $file_example.o

[06:41] <jackie_> which means I'm messing things up...
[06:41] <another> dystopianray: linux is in sdb7 and windows is in sda1 . now where do i install the grub ????
[06:41] <pookey> jetscreamer: does 'apt-file search /usr/sbin/base-config' return anything for you? it's not for me...
[06:41] <bulmer> Man_id_Unknown: i do not see your -shared optino during compile
[06:41] <B_166-ER-X> how can i determine on what 'ttyS*' is my dial-up modem ?  is there a command ?
[06:42] <Man_id_Unknown> bulmer: This is my program linking to the dll. Did you want the actual DLL compilation?
[06:42] <bulmer> Man_id_Unknown: i do not see your -shared option and the -fPIC options
[06:42] <mechdave> koer: How did you go?
[06:42] <Man_id_Unknown> bulmer: I gave the wrong lines.
[06:42] <caronte23> hi everyone, I am trying to set static ip, I followed the guide, but it doesn't work...??
[06:42] <another>  linux is in sdb7 and windows is in sda1 . now where do i install the grub ????
[06:43] <Man_id_Unknown> bulmer: 			g++ -c -g -fPIC main.cpp -o libtcore.o -DBUILD_DLL `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` `pkg-config --cflags gtkglext-1.0`
[06:43] <Man_id_Unknown> 			g++ -g -s -shared -lc -Wl,-soname,libtcore.so -o libtcore.so libtcore.o -L,-lcore `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkglext-1.0`
[06:43] <koer> looks like it was success full
[06:43] <Usrl_> Question: gtkpod creates and tries to read my iPod from /media/ipod, but the iPod mounts to /media/FEBA'S IPOD. How can I force gtkpod to use the proper directory?
[06:43] <jetscreamer> pookey: you would just search for the packagename, don't supply the path
[06:43] <dystopianray> another: boot the livecd on the machine
[06:43] <mechdave> koer: Lovely, do you know about man pages?
[06:44] <B_166-ER-X> !dialup
[06:44] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[06:44] <koer> no
[06:44] <another> dystopianray: i have booted ubuntu with the help of super grub disk won;t that do?
[06:44] <dystopianray> another: boot the ubuntu livecd
[06:44] <pookey> jetscreamer: even then, it doens't find it - the docs say I need to run it...
[06:44] <dystopianray> another: I don't know what the super grub disk is
[06:44] <bruenig> Usrl_, check in the preferences of gtkpod or simply do sudo ln -s /media/FEBA\'s\ IPOD /media/ipod
[06:45] <mechdave> koer: Ok when you open up a terminal you have available documentation for most of the commands in Ubuntu
[06:45] <Usrl_> bruenig: thansk
[06:45] <koer> ah yes
[06:45] <another> dystopianray: a cd alternative to grub menu
[06:45] <koer> wow my clock is soo cool now :D
[06:45] <jonathan_> b
[06:45] <Man_id_Unknown> bulmer: On windows xp this is a 1-2-3 thing. On linux it's a headache.
[06:45] <dystopianray> another: just boot the ubuntu livecd
[06:45] <mechdave> koer: all you need to do is to type in your terminal man <program name> to find all the documentation on that program name
[06:45] <Man_id_Unknown> bulmer: FYI I'm using gcc/g++ on xp as well.
[06:46] <Nekralixir> koer, do you mind taking some screenshots? :-)
[06:46] <Andy50> anyone familiar with oident ?
[06:46] <koer> sure
[06:46] <koer> but how do i send them
[06:46] <mechdave> koer: example: say you want to look at the manual page for tar
[06:46] <mechdave> koer: so you type man tar
[06:46] <another> dystopianray: very useful google it i know what u are saying but i guess no need of live cd cuz i am in ubuntu right now
[06:46] <koer> ahh !
[06:46] <koer> okay
[06:46] <Dr_willis> Andy50,  you need an identd server for some reason? those things are normally not needed any more.
[06:47] <dystopianray> another: you have the livecd running on that machine now?
[06:47] <another> yes
[06:47] <mechdave> koer: use your keyboard arrows to scroll through the documentation, and the q key quits
[06:47] <dystopianray> another: open a terminal and type: sudo -i
[06:47] <IdleOne> Andy50: gidentd is a package that works well for me
[06:47] <bulmer> Man_id_Unknown: I seem to recall you have to have LD_LIBRATY_PATH=$(pwd)  on the compile path unless you put it in the ld.so.conf which I dont know the equivalent of ld.so.conf on ubuntu
[06:47] <Andy50> Dr_willis, yes I need identd
[06:47] <another> ok follow on
[06:47] <silk_sword> i installed ubuntu on 450/MHZ with 512 ram branded sytem but i seems this is not iutable system for this ubuntu what do u think ????
[06:47] <Andy50> IdleOne: i havent tried gidentd
[06:48] <Andy50> i will give it a whirl
[06:48] <koer> ahh okay , thx for all the help man ^-^
[06:48] <Pusur> Thank you, guys, now it automaticly inserts the WPA-key ^^
[06:48] <dystopianray> another: which partition is your ubuntu partition?
[06:48] <Man_id_Unknown> bulmer: I thought that was only to execute the program, not to compile. I'll try it anyway.
[06:48] <Dr_willis> Andy50,  dare we ask why. :) thers dozens of the services you can install , also thers a identd written in perl (like 4 lines of code) that ive used in the past.
[06:48] <silk_sword> my ubuntu is working slow what shall i do
[06:48] <mechdave> koer: the man pages have been a huge help to me (and still are), also you learn heaps more too
[06:48] <silk_sword> ;;;;;
[06:48] <Dr_willis> !find identd
[06:48] <ubotu> Found: bidentd, gidentd, midentd, nullidentd, oidentd (and 4 others)
[06:48] <Andy50> i dont have a preference as long as it works
[06:48] <mechdave> koer: no worries, anytime
[06:48] <koer> okay thx bye
[06:48] <another> dystopianray: perhaps sdb7 not sure just check http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38369/
[06:48] <bulmer> Man_id_Unknown: thats part of the compilation, to tell where your shared library is too, assuming its stored at current dir (pwd)
[06:48] <Dr_willis> !info nullidentd
[06:48] <ubotu> nullidentd: small, fast identd daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0-3ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 8 kB, installed size 76 kB
[06:48] <stefg> dystopianray: not meaning to butt in, but  that's a simple three liner from the grub prompt
[06:49] <Andy50> thanks
[06:49] <heguru> Pusur: just for the record... how did you fix it?
[06:49] <Dr_willis> Andy50,  all of them should work. :) otherwise.. whats the point of them
[06:49] <silk_sword> my ubuntu is working slow what shall i  do ????
[06:49] <keito> AWN keeps giving me this error when I try to install after already having removed it E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libawn0_0.1.2+svn20070918~3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libawn.so.0.0.1', which is also in package libawn-svn
[06:49] <Dr_willis> silk_sword,  clarify the problem for a start.
[06:49] <bulmer> Man_id_Unknown: also the ldconfig command, i think you need to run those too..
[06:49] <pookey> Hi all - the ubuntu docs say that after debootstrapping my system I need to run /usr/sbin/base-config, however this file doesn't exist. Anyone know anyhting about that?
[06:49] <silk_sword> Dr_willis:  applications open takes time
[06:50] <Dr_willis> keito,  i would say remove the other related packages.
[06:50] <dystopianray> stefg: he doesn't have grub
[06:50] <Pusur> heguru: Deleted the key from keyring-manager, and let network-manager make it again. Dont know what the problem really was, though
[06:50] <Man_id_Unknown> bulmer: I'll keep googling. I'm truly at a loss.
[06:50] <heguru> Pusur: ok :).. the key in keymanager was not correct (typo perhaps)
[06:50] <keito> Dr_willis: which?
[06:51] <silk_sword> Dr_willis:  application take time while opening
[06:51] <dystopianray> another: type this: mount /dev/sdb7 /mnt
[06:51] <PuppiesOnAcid> If I boot from an ubuntu CD on my MacBook Pro, can it do all the partitioning for me, or do I need to set some stuff up in Disk Utility or the Boot Camp partitioner?
[06:51] <NotSure> ok, i have a problem
[06:51] <stefg> dystopianray, another: i understand that you lost grub in the mbr by installing windows, right?
[06:51] <heguru> silk_sword: what are your machine specs? CPU? RAM? Hard DIsk?
[06:51] <NotSure> i wrote a ko module as driver for USB Logitech RumblePad2 joystick
[06:51] <another> yes
[06:51] <Dr_willis> keito,  which is also in package libawn-svn      .... what one :)
[06:51] <NotSure> and ubuntu assigns it /dev/input/eventX
[06:51] <another> stefg: right
[06:51] <keito> Dr_willis: 2 secs
[06:51] <keito> I might have doen it
[06:51] <NotSure> my driver is not being assigned to device when i plug it in
[06:52] <keito> thanks to you ;))
[06:52] <silk_sword> heguru :::: 450/mhz  with 512 ram ,10 gb hard
[06:52] <stefg> another: so if you are on the Live CD type 'sudo grub' in the terminal, prompt will change to grub>
[06:52] <NotSure> can somebody help me out?
[06:52] <atlfalcons866> when is gusty gibbon coming out
[06:52] <Sivik> NotSure, what is your problem?
[06:52] <scraliontis> one month from now
[06:52] <NotSure> sivik: i wrote a driver
[06:52] <another> stefg: did that
[06:52] <dystopianray> atlfalcons866: late october
[06:52] <Sivik> NotSure, can't help you there
[06:52] <NotSure> sivik, what?
[06:52] <NotSure> sivik: who can?
[06:52] <keito> Dr_willis: that was silly of me, there was one remaining package left that I had forgotten about.  now it goes on a treat. cheers bro
[06:52] <stefg> another:type 'find /boot/grub/stage1' and tll me what turns up
[06:52] <scraliontis> it due exactly one month from today.
[06:52] <Sivik> NotSure, i have no clue who can help you with that one?
[06:53] <silk_sword> heguru :::: 450/mhz  with 512 ram ,10 gb hard
[06:53] <another> stefg: it says file not found
[06:53] <NotSure> sivik: you should be able to, by now...
[06:53] <stefg> another : have you setup your ubuntu with a separate /boot partition?
[06:53] <dystopianray> stefg: he has not
[06:54] <another> stefg: perhaps u can get an idea  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38369/
[06:54] <NotSure> ok, i have a problem, i wrote a driver but ubuntu does not assign the driver to the device (USB)
[06:54] <heguru> silk_sword: 450/mhz though will run Ubuntu, but it won't really be *fast*
[06:54] <Pusur> Whats the difference between the desktop and the server version? GUI and no GUI?
[06:55] <Sivik> Pusur, yes
[06:55] <heguru> Pusur: yes
[06:55] <mechdave> Oh bugger, koer left before I could give a command ref url... Oh well if it is any use to any other noobs here http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/linux/cmd/ has an alphabetical list of commands with descriptions
[06:55] <xtknight> and a kernel with different multitasking abilities i think
[06:55] <dystopianray> Pusur: one is for desktops the other is for servers
[06:55] <Xera> The ATI website says the fglrx driver supports cards 8500 and above, I have a 9250 and it doesn't work.. can anyone help? The error says something about no device detected on PCI 3:2:1 but in xorg.conf I have it set to PCI 3:2:0..
[06:55] <Inglor> Hey, thanks for the help with the resolution problem, I'm now trying to install avant window navigator, since I was unable to locate it in binary format I'm trying to compile it and I'm having some problem
[06:55] <rsk> Xera: how did you install the fglrx driver?
[06:55] <stefg> another: so your ubuntu isntall is on sdb7... this is very far apart from the beginning of the disk, so i assume your bios can only address cylinders below 1024, and your ubuntu is above that.
[06:55] <Nekralixir> pursur, the server one also has LAMP and DNS downloaded with it if you want
[06:55] <Xera> rsk: I used the .run file from the ATI website
[06:55] <another> stefg: my windows is in sda1 and linux is in sdb7
[06:55] <freeman> ffff
[06:56] <rsk> Xera: that gives problem.. use ubuntu package
[06:56] <Xera> Ok well uh, how do I remove this? :|
[06:56] <silk_sword> heguru :::: but in doc of ubuntu it shows that min req is 75/mhz and minin 64 mb/ram with 5 gb hard is alo run the ubuntu ???
[06:56] <stefg> another: how old is your bios?
[06:56] <Inglor> Xera, try to install it through apt-get install fglrx
[06:56] <IhateCLI> Hi guys, I'm sharing windows xp's files, but I can't access "program files". How do I enter the username/password
[06:56] <atlfalcons866> can i install ubuntu programs in kubuntu
[06:56] <Sivik> yes
[06:56] <heguru> silk_sword: yes it would run ubuntu. it just won't be really fast :)
[06:56] <Xera> Inglor: But I need to remove the one installed with the .run file first no?
[06:56] <dystopianray> atlfalcons866: kubuntu IS ubuntu, just with kde
[06:56] <bruenig> they aren't ubuntu programs
[06:56] <Inglor> arlfalcons, for the most part
[06:57] <another> stefg:  i don't know but when i first installed ubuntu there was no problem regarding the grub menu
[06:57] <Dr_willis> IhateCLI,  XP has the programfiles directory some how very very very very blocked from getting shared. I cant even get to it from a nother xp box.
[06:57] <stefg> another: how old is your bios?
[06:57] <freeman> 80
[06:57] <Inglor> atlfalcons, ones that don't have gnome dependencies
[06:57] <aryr100> hello all
[06:57] <freeman> IH
[06:57] <atlfalcons866> dystopianray: it has the ubuntu code in it?
[06:57] <another> stefg: don't know
[06:57] <silk_sword> heguru ::: i didnt mean that any way what shopuld i do to tweak my ubuntu
[06:57] <freeman> 80
[06:57] <stefg> another: waht kind of machine, when did you buy it ?
[06:57] <dystopianray> atlfalcons866: kubuntu is ubuntu with kde instead of gnome
[06:57] <Dr_willis> IhateCLI,   there may be some xp setting to remove the lock on it. but ive never found it. - i have shared direcories INSIDE the 'program files' directory
[06:57] <aryr100> forget the cmd to reset xorg ?
[06:57] <freeman> year
[06:57] <another> stefg: i bought this in 2003 i guess
[06:57] <mechdave> aryr100: welcome
[06:57] <bruenig> atlfalcons866, there isn't ubuntu code really, a distro is just package management and init
[06:57] <Inglor> anyone here might know why I'm getting  "some autoconf macros required to build avant-panel-menu were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden macros were found."
[06:57] <IhateCLI> Dr_willis: Ah... That'll do fine. Thanks!
[06:58] <Inglor> I've never had to compile anything on myself since I first used ubuntu :P
[06:58] <dystopianray> most people don't
[06:58] <another> stefg: pentium 4 1.5GHhz
[06:58] <stefg> another: so if you still have the grub prompt try ' root (hd1,6)' then 'setup (hd0)' ... does that work ?
[06:58] <atlfalcons866> so new features in ubuntu is basicly from gnome and kbuntu features are from KDE
[06:58] <bruenig> atlfalcons866, absolutely
[06:59] <bruenig> atlfalcons866, or desktop effects from compiz or beryl or whatever, etc. It just packages stuff.
[06:59] <PuppiesOnAcid> Can ubuntu partition my MacBook Pro hard drive, or do I have to do it myself?
[06:59] <scraliontis> it can
[06:59] <dystopianray> atlfalcons866: they are both ubuntu, except one has gnome the other has kde
[06:59] <another> are sure i that i should try (hd1.6) instead of (hd1,7)???
[06:59] <aryr100> there is also xubuntu using xfce
[06:59] <Xera> How would I remove the drivers and the catalyst control panel installed by the ATI .run file?
[06:59] <mechdave> Has anyone managed to get a cgi script to restart a service on the server machine? (I know it is insecure, but I need to restart a firefox daemon on the server to display an updated page)
[07:00] <stefg> another: grub starts counting at 0, while the kernel counts from 1
[07:00] <Dremth> is there any way i can make my own start menu for ubuntu? i want it kinda like the opensuse kickoff menu, but i have gnome, not kde
[07:01] <another> stefg: k will now a tell u in a min
[07:01] <Inglor> Dremth, what do you mean by "own start menu"?
[07:01] <bulmer> mechdave: firefox as a daemon?
[07:01] <aryr100> @Dremth look in gnome-look
[07:01] <TUXedomember> is there a program for deisning wed site's in ubutnu?
[07:01] <bruenig> Dremth, just menu will do, start menu is a bit confusing
[07:02] <another> stefg: it says done!!!!!!!!!
[07:02] <another> stefg: was that all???
[07:02] <DarkMoon> good morning
[07:02] <dystopianray> TUXedomember: a WYSIWYG editor?
[07:02] <Eagle_101> Hello, where is ubuntu's grub.conf file?
[07:02] <Nekralixir> TUXedomember, you mean, like dreamweaver?
[07:02] <Dremth> Inglor: i want a start menu that looks exactly like vista's start menu, but after hours of searching, the closest i can find is the suse kickoff, but its still not what i want
[07:02] <mechdave> bulmer: yeah I have written a daemon script for it
[07:02] <Inglor> For some reason the install is looking for like 6 packages apt doesn't find at all, like glib, gtk, gconf (all installed in reality), and gobject (not found)
[07:02] <Dremth> bruenig, you mean the website gnome-look?
[07:02] <darx> I tried installing kubuntu-destop over ubuntu and during the installation, package configuration asks me about default display manage. How can i set up gutys such that kdm start for kde and gdm for gnome?
[07:03] <stefg> another: try if it boots now
[07:03] <dystopianray> darx: that doesn't make any sense
[07:03] <bulmer> mechdave: why would you do such a thing? why not have a true server perhaps like tomcat?
[07:03] <V4mp> hey guys how would i go about installing ubuntu via the net... and needing to assign a static ip to it to do so ?
[07:03] <TUXedomember> umm like front page for windows
[07:03] <another> k will be back in 3 min
[07:03] <Sivik> frontpage blows
[07:03] <Eagle_101> V4mp: to install Ubuntu, grab a liveCD
[07:03] <darx> dystopianray: why?
[07:03] <Xera> Ok that didn't work, installed fglrx-driver and fglrx-control and it gives me the same error
[07:03] <Inglor> grrr, does anyone know where I could get a binary of avant window navigator?
[07:03] <dystopianray> darx: gdm or kdm are started before you login to gnome or kde
[07:04] <dystopianray> darx: it has no idea which one you're going to use
[07:04] <dystopianray> darx: you use one or the other and login to either gnome or kde as you please
[07:04] <pookey> Hi all - the ubuntu docs say that after debootstrapping my system I need to run /usr/sbin/base-config, however this file doesn't exist. Anyone know anyhting about that?
[07:04] <Dremth> aryr100, you mean the website gnome-look?
[07:04] <tontonramone> join #ceara
[07:04] <pookey> tontonramone: was that to me?
[07:05] <bullgard4> In order to better understand the structure of contemporary websites I downloaded http://fosswire.com/2007/09/08/fix-a-frozen-system-with-the-magic-sysrq-keys/ using File > Save As. It produced a directory with 26 objects, 4 of them more directories. What is the name of the file that contains the main text?
[07:05] <darx> dystopianray: then why does it say this  Multiple display managers can run simultaneously if they are configured  to manage different servers; to achieve this, configure the display managers accordingly, edit each of their init scripts in /etc/init.d,  and disable the check for a default display manager.
[07:05] <TUXedomember> what's the ubuntu equvlent of window's frontpage?
[07:05] <Xera> When I try and use the fglrx driver it says "No matching Device section for PCI:3:2:1"
[07:05] <V4mp> Eagle_101: i cnt seem to get it to load the livecd because while starting it... it comes up listing hdd error's
[07:05] <dystopianray> darx: you want to run multiple X servers?
[07:05] <vsayikiran> does anyone how to use bluetooth
[07:05] <Dremth> also, is there a way i can get my side mouse buttons to operate like forward and back buttons like in windows?
[07:05] <heguru> vsayikiran: yes what do you want to know?
[07:05] <Eagle_101> V4mp: then your hard drive probably has errors :S
[07:06] <dystopianray> darx: just pick either gdm or kdm and use only one X server
[07:06] <Eagle_101> though why a liveCD would care I have no clue
[07:06] <vsayikiran> heguru: i want use bluetooth in ubuntu
[07:06] <heguru> vsayikiran: ok
[07:06] <eracc> TUXedomember, I do not think there is any equivalent OSS that creates such terrible pages as Frontpage.
[07:06] <darx> dystopianray: I need to try KDE4 so what do you think should I do?
[07:06] <heguru> vsayikiran: is your bluetooth device detected. to check run: hciconfig
[07:06] <Inglor> vsayikiran, bluetooth works fine in ubuntu, what device are you trying to use
[07:06] <vsayikiran> heguru: do i need to install any package
[07:06] <TUXedomember> lol but a better program?
[07:06] <V4mp> Eagle_101: no i have tryed 2 diff hdd's 1 i know is fine.. and it also has the error without a hdd in... yet its having trouble getting to the livecd section let alone anything else
[07:06] <another> stefg: yuppie it now working!!!!!! thanks
[07:06] <mechdave> Well the server is connected to a big screen which displays a web page using firefox, I need to restart firefox (or at least refresh it) when ever the displayed page is changed with data. I don't want to constantly refresh the firefox page on a time limit because I want to only refresh the page when a link is clicked on an admin page served by the server
[07:06] <dystopianray> darx: using kde4 has nothing to do with your choice between kdm and gdm
[07:06] <Eagle_101> V4mp: so wait, can you load the liveCD on your computer?
[07:07] <Miyanokouji> Hi all, I need some help. I've got a Fujitsu Stylistic LT P-600, which I've managed to install Ubuntu on, and have installed setserial and configured X and added the init script as per http://chiyostetanus.bravehost.com/p600.html , however I get an error when running the init script saying that
[07:07] <vsayikiran> Inglor: just i want to enable it
[07:07] <dystopianray> darx: pick either gdm or kdm and login to whatever you want through the session menu
[07:07] <tretle> can someone help me out
[07:07] <tretle> grub isnt working anymore
[07:07] <Miyanokouji> Ack
[07:07] <darx> dystopianray: and what are the advantages/disadvantages. If it's got nothing to do with it then why are there 2 displaymanagers in the first place?
[07:07] <heguru> vsayikiran: its enable and installed by default usually, can you just run: sudo hciconfig
[07:07] <tretle> have two partitions, windows vista and ubuntu
[07:07] <heguru> vsayikiran: and check if you get any output
[07:07] <dystopianray> darx: one comes with gnome the other comes with kde
[07:07] <eracc> TUXedomember, but if you want a GUI HTML editor look at NVU, Quanta, Bluefish, etcetera.
[07:07] <bobgill> I want to add launchers to a panel that open nautilus file browser, opening my mounted partitions... what would be the command for the launcher ?? say I want to open /media/stuff
[07:07] <tretle> need vista for college work
[07:07] <V4mp> Eagle_101: no the start screen where u select start or install ubuntu is as far as it goes working fine then the next loading page then comes up with the error after that
[07:07] <Miyanokouji> "Cannot set serial info: Device or resource busy"
[07:07] <dystopianray> darx: they both have equivalent funcionality
[07:07] <TUXedomember> ok thnx
[07:07] <dystopianray> darx: just pick your favourite
[07:07] <Sivik> why on earth would your school require vista for homework?
[07:07] <vsayikiran> heguru: hciconfig is giving no output
[07:07] <stefg> another: good.... but be aware you might have further problems, because of the 1024 cylinder limit. if you reinstall for some reason, make sure to have a /boot partition on the beginning of the drive.
[07:08] <eracc> TUXedomember, you are welcome. :)
[07:08] <bulmer> V4mp: try this https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html
[07:08] <tretle> if I reinstall grub from live cd will that work?
[07:08] <DarkMoon> brb
[07:08] <another> stefg: tell me somebody told me to back up the grub ./ how  to i back up . i don;t but somebody told me to use dd
[07:08] <heguru> vsayikiran: that means your bluetooth might not be detected
[07:08] <Inglor> anyone has any idea about avant window navigator?
[07:08] <Eagle_101> V4mp: does your CD pass an MD5sum?
[07:08] <V4mp> haven't tryed
[07:08] <heguru> vsayikiran: paste the output of your lsusb in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[07:08] <V4mp> but i have used the ISO before with no trouble
[07:08] <tretle> for programming
[07:08] <Eagle_101> V4mp: try that first, if you have an invalid CD, that would be the problem
[07:08] <vsayikiran> my bluetooth manufactured by Toshiba
[07:08] <TUXminator> ...................................
[07:09] <Inglor> vsayikiran, does ubuntu recognize your computer's bluetooth in hardware information?
[07:09] <tretle> can anyone help?
[07:09] <vsayikiran> heguru: yes
[07:09] <darx> dystopianray: thanks for the info.. I really appreciate your prompt help.
[07:09] <darx> :)
[07:09] <stefg> another: not much use. in that. if your machine doesn't boot Ubuntu you have to boot the Live CD anyway. then you can restore grub with the same procedure again.... just as easy
[07:09] <vsayikiran> heguru: i will try once again
[07:09] <kreib> does anyone know how to disable annyoing beeps at boot, guess its a warning of some kind
[07:09] <TUXminator> bluetooth suck
[07:09] <heguru> vsayikiran: just run: lsusb and paste the output in the pastbin here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[07:09] <pookey> The ubuntu docs say that after debootstrapping my system I need to run /usr/sbin/base-config, however this file doesn't exist. Anyone know anyhting about that?
[07:09] <pookey> TUXminator: why? I use bluetooth a lot, I think it's great
[07:09] <dystopianray> darx: if you are following a guide that tells you to run two X servers, one with kdm and one with gdm, then I'd recommend ignoring that guide as that is totally ridiculous
[07:10] <mechdave> bulmer:  Well the server is connected to a big screen which displays a web page using firefox, I need to restart firefox (or at least refresh it) when ever the displayed page is changed with data. I don't want to constantly refresh the firefox page on a time limit because I want to only refresh the page when a link is clicked on an admin page served by the server
[07:10] <another> stefg: actually i used Super Grub Disk instead of using liveCd
[07:10] <Dremth> Inglor: did you see my reply?
[07:10] <DarkMoon> does any1 know how i can run my .exe file?
[07:10] <tretle> stefg what procedure would that be... without data loss
[07:10] <TUXminator> pookey:suck speed
[07:10] <Nekralixir> DarkMoon, you mean exe from a windows system?
[07:10] <pookey> TUXminator: it's good enough for waht it's designed for
[07:10] <stefg> another: that's ok as long SGD and ubuntu use the same grub version
[07:10] <rijo> Doesn anyone know a mp3 streaming application for Ubuntu, where the remote user (which is me on different offices), has the possibility to choose song/browse songs?
[07:10] <dystopianray> DarkMoon: use wine to run windows programs
[07:10] <V4mp> Eagle_101: how would i check the md5 ?
[07:10] <TUXminator> .!...........!!!..!!
[07:10] <Xera> DarkMoon: Install Wine
[07:11] <Xera> sudo aptitude install wine
[07:11] <stefg> tretle : just scroll up :-) or read the !grub factoid
[07:11] <Xera> wine exefile.exe
[07:11] <DarkMoon> nekralixir:yeah from a win system
[07:11] <darx> dystopianray: the guide comes with the default configuration when you try to install kubuntu-desktop
[07:11] <kreib> does anyone know how to disable annyoing beeps at boot, guess its a warning of some kind
[07:11] <another> stefg: but SGD could not automatically reinstall the grub
[07:11] <Nekralixir> DarkMoon, get wine, like everyone else says
[07:11] <Xera> !fglrx
[07:11] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:11] <darx> dystopianray: its more of a directive than a guide
[07:11] <tretle> !grub
[07:11] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:11] <dystopianray> darx: installing kubuntu-desktop gives you two X servers?
[07:12] <inflater> 
[07:12] <bulmer> mechdave: umm, its the browser client that displays, not a webserver function to display.
[07:12] <DarkMoon> nekrailxir:let me get a link. 1 more this  configur vware is asking a serial for server?
[07:12] <darx> dystopianray: no it's just a directive. it goes like "you can do this if you chose to and if you need to do this at init.d.."
[07:12] <stefg> another: yup, because your bios has trouble looking on the high blocks of your harddisk. setup a /bott partition at the beginning of the disk, then even SGD will work
[07:12] <DarkMoon> does any1 have a vware server serial?
[07:12] <bulmer> mechdave: but you have your webbrowser on same webserver which is okay..
[07:12] <Nekralixir> DarkMoon, use apt-get
[07:13] <another> dystopianray: thnks u tried a lot to help me out i am  very lucky to have such guys
[07:13] <dystopianray> DarkMoon: you can get them for free
[07:13] <dystopianray> another: did you solve your grub problem?
[07:13] <DarkMoon> dystopinray:can u get me 1 plzzz?
[07:13] <tretle> tab completion doesnt seem to work
[07:13] <atlfalcons866> could i run ubuntu on a pentum 2 333Mhz with 768MB ram?
[07:13] <vsayikiran> heguru; this is my output after i run hciconfig
[07:13] <another> dystopianray: yes stefg: helped
[07:13] <MasterShrek> atlfalcons866, sure

[07:14] <another> stefg: thnks  i am very grateful to u
[07:14] <A_is_A> I have a second internal drive, freshly formatted to ext3, at /dev/sdb/. My problem is, I can mount it to /media/sdb/ with Gparted, but what I really want is for the disk to show up as a seperate disk in Places>Computer. Is this possible?
[07:14] <dystopianray> atlfalcons866: yes you could
[07:14] <dystopianray> DarkMoon: no
[07:14] <Dremth> is there any way i can make my own start menu for ubuntu? i want it kinda like the opensuse kickoff menu, but i have gnome, not kde. basically i want to have a menu identical to the vista start menu. kickoff is not close enough, so i was wondering if there was a way to design the layout of my own menu; not just rearrange the menu items, i mean add in new tabs of things and a new side to it and stuff
[07:15] <DarkMoon> dystopianray:were can i get it?
[07:15] <dystopianray> DarkMoon: the vmware website
[07:15] <mechdave> bulmer: the only reason I am trying this way is because I cannot think of a way of sending a F5 refersh signal to firefox via a link in an admin page (the server does not have any keyboards or mouse connected to it, so all admin and update interaction has to be done through an admin web page)
[07:15] <MasterShrek> A_is_A, if you go to the bookmarks menu in nautilus you can bookmark it, doesnt put it in the computer window, but it will show up on menus and stuff
[07:15] <DarkMoon> thank you
[07:15] <bulmer> mechdave: i think you were looking for something that push
[07:16] <A_is_A> MasterShrek: but isn't there a way that ubuntu can recognize it as a completely seperate drive?
[07:16] <w4ett> Somebody refresh my memory: Is the xorg-driver-intel included in Feisty OR doy you have to apt-get it?
[07:16] <Ashfire908> how would i go about routing all imcomming trafic that is not to a certian ip to be sent to a certian network interface?
[07:16] <tretle> reboot
[07:16] <dystopianray> w4ett: you need to apt-get it, but it's crap in feisty
[07:17] <vsayikiran> heguru: are you there i have pasted in paste.ubuntu
[07:17] <mechdave> bulmer: Oh, as in have apache tell firefox to refresh the page via a persistant connection from server to browser?
[07:17] <heguru> vsayikiran: sorry i missed it.. lemme find
[07:17] <dystopianray> w4ett: it will crash your X server repeatedly
[07:17] <w4ett> dystopianray: yea....I know is bad
[07:17] <bulmer> mechdave something to that effect yeah
[07:17] <Nekralixir> mechdave, how about VNC ?
[07:17] <heguru> vsayikiran: ok your bluetooth is detected and is working
[07:17] <heguru> vsayikiran: what do you want to do now? send receive files using bluetooth?
[07:17] <vsayikiran> heguru: this is the link http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38376/
[07:18] <vsayikiran> yes heguru
[07:18] <mechdave> bulmer: righto, shall do some googling, thanks for your help :)
[07:18] <Asathoor> at last I found out what my bootproblem was... the partition /boot was'nt there...
[07:18] <vsayikiran> heguru: do i need to install any package
[07:18] <overclucker> Ashfire908, it would go to the next highest up interface, wouldn't it?
[07:18] <Dremth> can anyone help me?
[07:19] <vsayikiran> heguru: i mean package for transfering files etc.
[07:19] <overclucker> UPLINK
[07:19] <bulmer> mechdave: i think cocoon2 (of the apache project) can do such, however its way complicated for me though
[07:19] <heguru> vsayikiran: yes you need some packages... bluez-gnome (to allow pairing and other stuff from GNOME)
[07:19] <Ashfire908> overclucker: huh?
[07:19] <Asathoor> Dremth>> what is your problem?
[07:19] <MrPink> !ask | Dremth
[07:19] <ubotu> Dremth: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:19] <mtr13> ok
[07:19] <panosru> Hi, how can i support M$ Office 2007 .*x extensions with open office?
[07:20] <oldperson> I have like 9 startup kernals. How do I get rid of some of these?
[07:20] <dystopianray> panosru: you need to get the OOXML plugin
[07:20] <mtr13> ya kelk1
[07:20] <heguru> vsayikiran: hmm for bluetooth file transfers... gnome-bluetooth
[07:20] <vsayikiran> heguru: is this bluez-gnome package necessary for file transfer
[07:20] <overclucker> Ashfire908, are you talking about network traffic via router, hub or somthing else?
[07:20] <Dremth> is there any way i can make my own start menu for ubuntu? i want it kinda like the opensuse kickoff menu, but i have gnome, not kde. basically i want to have a menu identical to the vista start menu. kickoff is not close enough, so i was wondering if there was a way to design the layout of my own menu; not just rearrange the menu items, i mean add in new tabs of things and a new side to it and stuff
[07:20] <Creed> Can compiz-fusion be installed on a ATI X1300 WITHOUT XGL? The reason I as is VMware can't run with cf is running due to XGL.
[07:20] <bruenig> Dremth, stop saying start menu
[07:20] <DarkMoon> is there a another way of useing .ex_e file without useing wine?
[07:20] <mtr13> ya kelq1 ki parle francais
[07:20] <vsayikiran> heguru: first i need to install bluez
[07:20] <dystopianray> DarkMoon: no
[07:20] <another> stefg: since u said there is cylinder limit of 1024 then how could i install ubuntu and that without any grub problem . i installed ubuntu in the last month itself
[07:20] <rsk> DarkMoon: no
[07:20] <dystopianray> DarkMoon: what's wrong with wine?
[07:20] <heguru> vsayikiran: you don't need them, but then you would have to do everything from the terminal
[07:20] <Asathoor> Dremth >> you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:21] <Creed> DarkMoon, you can install a VM and use it in that :)
[07:21] <stefg> panosru: http://download.novell.com/SummaryFree.jsp?buildid=ESrjfdE4U58~
[07:21] <Dremth> asathoor, not the boot menu
[07:21] <heguru> vsayikiran: yes install bluez first
[07:21] <DarkMoon> rsk:my friend said there is but he left. the state.
[07:21] <dystopianray> Creed: are you using fglrx or radeon?
[07:21] <mechdave> dystopianray: how about vmware?
[07:21] <Creed> DarkMoon, theres also other wine like programs such as cedega.
[07:21] <Ashfire908> overclucker: via computer
[07:21] <dystopianray> mechdave: what about it?
[07:21] <vsayikiran> heguru: no, i want GUI based just like windows
[07:21] <oldperson> fuck this
[07:21] <panosru> dystopianray, i followed some instructions from ubuntuforums.org i downloaded a file alien it and then took some files from it and paste them into /usr/lib/openoffice/ ... but still can't get it work
[07:21] <Creed> dystopianray, whatever the latest drivers off ATI's site are :-/
[07:21] <dystopianray> Creed: they need xgl
[07:21] <Dremth> bruenig, the reason i'm saying start menu is because everybody may not know that im talking about the menu on the taskbar
[07:21] <another> Creed: cedega is only useful for games i suppose
[07:21] <vsayikiran> heguru: so i have to run sudo apt-get install bluez
[07:21] <panosru> dystopianray, i also followed this: http://www.sigmundvoid.com/?p=81
[07:21] <dystopianray> panosru: sorry i have no idea, i've never had to use OOXML
[07:22] <mechdave> dystopianray: doesn't that run win binaries, (or do you need to install win on it as well?)
[07:22] <bruenig> Dremth, well it's name is not start menu so you will just confuse them further
[07:22] <overclucker> Ashfire908, with a routing table, iptables, i dunno
[07:22] <Creed> another, but they run other programs pretty nicely as well :) I use it for Word 2007 and IE...WINE just isnt up to speed on things.
[07:22] <dystopianray> mechdave: it doesn't run windows binaries
[07:22] <Creed> dystopianray, so which drivers should I be using?
[07:22] <panosru> anyone who can help me with that?
[07:22] <Dremth> bruenig, well, you can think what you like
[07:22] <dystopianray> mechdave: it virtualises an operating system
[07:22] <atlfalcons866> what is meta-data
[07:22] <vsayikiran> heguru: after installing this package i can access gnome-bluetooth
[07:22] <stefg> another: once the kernle is loaded ther limit does not exist. only grub and the bios need to work together to actually find the kernel. have a small (like 50 MB) partition at the beginning of the drive (well below 1024 cylinders) as a separate /boot partition
[07:22] <bruenig> !attitude | Dremth
[07:22] <ubotu> Dremth: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[07:22] <substrate> anyone know of a way to make gnome close a window/app by double-clicking the window icon in the top left corner of the window?   (ala ms windows)
[07:22] <overclucker> i wish i knew half as much as i think i do. . .heh
[07:23] <dystopianray> Creed: that's the only drive ryou can use, you can't use compiz-fusion without xgl
[07:23] <panosru> stefg, now i saw your message, will try that link
[07:23] <overclucker> !iptables
[07:23] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[07:23] <vsayikiran> heguru: do i have to run this command sudo apt-get install bluez
[07:23] <V4mp> guys how do i check the md5 of the ubuntu iso ?
[07:23] <stefg> panosru: you'll need alien to convert the rpm to deb
[07:23] <panosru> stefg, i have downloaded this and also followed the instructions and install it
[07:23] <bruenig> V4mp, md5sum whatever.iso
[07:23] <mechdave> dystopianray: Ahh not really what they were looking for to run win binaries then! :)
[07:23] <Dremth> bruenig, its difficult to express emotion in plain text; my reply was not intended to be rude in any form
[07:23] <DarkMoon> guys this 1 i want /help. i have a wireless card but i dotn know how to connect to my roucter.
[07:24] <Ademan> is there any way to tell how many threads a given process has open?
[07:24] <vsayikiran> heguru: didn't you see my message
[07:24] <Ashfire908> how do you redirect incomming trafic to a certain interface based on where it's headed
[07:24] <Creed> dystopianray, then how are people (on youtube) able to run full compiz effects on ATI cards with VMware running on the cube? All I want is Windows on one face of the cube and Ubuntu on the other. I have some programs that cannot be run using WINE and I desperatly need them for college work.
[07:24] <dystopianray> Ashfire908: configure your routing table
[07:24] <vsayikiran> heguru: do i need to run apt-get install bluez
[07:24] <dystopianray> Creed: they use older ATI cards that are supported by the radeon driver
[07:24] <Sivik> Creed: that sounds very complicated
[07:24] <another> stefg: u mean when i next time install ubuntu  i should create a 50 mb partition in the second drive at the start of the disk?
[07:25] <panosru> stefg, which is the command to convert it to dep because i convert it to tgz
[07:25] <vsayikiran> heguru: are yoy there, it seems you are busy
[07:25] <tr4sh80_> does anyone know where I can download an uncompiled kernel.mo?
[07:25] <dystopianray> Creed: just forget about compiz and focus on your school work
[07:25] <erUSUL> tr4sh80_: kernel.mo ??
[07:25] <Creed> dystopianray, agh, oh well :( Guess Ill just use seamless desktop.
[07:25] <dystopianray> Creed: you have your priorities mixed up
[07:25] <stefg> another: either drive.... it's only important taht it is at the beginning
[07:25] <Creed> dystopianray, lol Im ahead from the rest of the class by about 2 months :) I have time to mix up my priorities.
[07:25] <stefg> !alien | panosru
[07:25] <ubotu> panosru: 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)
[07:25] <tr4sh80_> erUSUL: i just need an uncompiled kernel file to make a driver
[07:25] <searayman> how can i convert an ogg video to an mpeg video?
[07:25] <chemturion> Hey there, since ive installed Gutsy my computer randomly locks up. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace dosnt do anything nor does trying to switch to tty. Also, it seemed to get worse when I had "Extra Effects" enabled in the Appearence preference pane
[07:26] <dystopianray> Creed: next time don't buy ati
[07:26] <bruenig> searayman, mencoder, transcode, etc
[07:26] <bulmer> Ashfire908: incoming? can you tell us your network layout ?
[07:26] <stefg> !gutsy | chemturion
[07:26] <Ashfire908> dystopianray: i already knew that
[07:26] <ubotu> chemturion: 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
[07:26] <dystopianray> !gutsy | chemturion
[07:26] <another> stefg: then i think it is still in the biginning since xp in at the start of the first drive
[07:26] <searayman> bruenig, are gui or terminal based?
[07:26] <Creed> dystopianray, tell that to my college :( All PC's I buy have hardware fully compatible with linux.
[07:26] <fastone> hi
[07:26] <bruenig> searayman, terminal
[07:26] <dystopianray> Creed: your college gave you your laptop?
[07:26] <erUSUL> tr4sh80_: you mean that you need the kernel 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' to compile a driver?
[07:27] <chemturion> dystopianray: Yeah I was just wondering if this was a known problem, I understand that its a development version
[07:27] <searayman> bruenig, so how do i use mencoder then?
[07:27] <erUSUL> tr4sh80_: or you need the source code of a specific driver?
[07:27] <dystopianray> chemturion: gutsy support in #ubuntu+1 only
[07:27] <fastone> hi gays
[07:27] <V4mp> bruenig: i cnt cd to my cd drive on windows to be able to do it :/
[07:27] <Ashfire908> bulmer: everything comming in on eth0 that is not to the ip 192.168.1.90 needs to be redirected to ppp0.
[07:27] <chemturion> ahh thanks
[07:27] <fastone> can you help me
[07:27] <Creed> dystopianray, desktop. Its a classroom machine (I stay in that class all day) but we use our own removable hardrives so we can pretty much mess with it all we want.
[07:27] <void^> Ademan: ps -AfL
[07:27] <bulmer> Ashfire908: again once more, can you elaborate on the  network layout, which device you want to do the redirecting?
[07:27] <`Cube> where do i get the sound drivers for my sound card?

[07:31] <seag33k> I just installed Gutsy on a Lenova T61 and its requesting a partial update but it is taking a very long time to download.  Is this because its still "testing" or is there a way to speed up the process?
[07:31] <pookey> nox-Hand: I've had enough of gento on my desktop ;)
[07:31] <Creed> searayman, start VLC and from the file menu select Wizard, it should be pretty self-explanatory from there.
[07:31] <dystopianray> !gutsy | seag33k
[07:31] <ubotu> seag33k: 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
[07:31] <Ashfire908> eth0 is connected to a switch, which connects to a router on the lan side. it has a static ip of 192.168.1.90. eth1 has a cord dangling in the air. ppp0 is a wvdial connection to a cell phone. currently i have masqueraing set up on the phone.
[07:31] <bulmer> overclucker: you're only guessing on what  he's got. let him elaborate so we can assist him correctly
[07:31] <ConfidentiaL> Is it possible to request free gutsy CDs now, and get them sent when gusty is ready?
[07:31] <pookey> nox-Hand: althogh, the support in here sucks compared to gentoo's community it seems
[07:32] <Ashfire908> the line i used to masquerade is iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING 1 -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
[07:32] <pookey> nox-Hand: I think that's down to the higher percentage of complete linux newbies though :)
[07:32] <mechdave> Ashfire908: When I set up my dialup sharing I used the generated firewall script from http://easyfwgen.morizot.net
[07:33] <nox-Hand> pookey: You seriously going to try out Ubuntu? Cool! :D
[07:33] <erUSUL> tr4sh80_: this *.mo files are specific to the slax distribution and the instructions you are following does not apply to linux
[07:33] <ubuntu> ubuntu ssie
[07:33] <nox-Hand> pookey: I have just installed Gentoo, but I am desperately trying to fix my Ubuntu. Noone seems to know whats wrong yet though :|
[07:33] <Creed> ConfidentiaL, not yet, usually its available on the day it ships.
[07:33] <nox-Hand> I know whats wrong, not ow to fix.
[07:33] <bulmer> overclucker: you see, its much more complex  :)
[07:33] <pookey> nox-Hand: I've been using it a week on my desktop at work. earlier today I tried to update my gentoo, and it was being a bitch, so I jsut reinstalled ;)
[07:33] <overclucker> bullgard4, heh, apparently
[07:33] <pookey> nox-Hand: on top of that, ubuntu seems faster then my gentoo ever has been!
[07:33] <tr4sh80_> erUSUL: Damn...i'm just trying to get this wireless card to work in monitor mode and it hasnt been easy...
[07:34] <overclucker> bulmer,  heh, apparently
[07:34] <dystopianray> pookey: gentoo is not supposed to be fast
[07:34] <nox-Hand> pookey: I find Ubuntu awesome once you remove most of it's default stuff :)
[07:34] <push> synaptic is removing all essential packages.....
[07:34] <nox-Hand> pookey: And yeah, Desktop use is MUCh faster in Ubuntu!
[07:34] <nox-Hand> Gentoo'ers don't admit it though
[07:34] <bulmer> Ashfire908: you dont have control what is incoming
[07:34] <vsayikiran> heguru: if you are there then please tell me how to install wireles
[07:34] <heguru> vsayikiran: sorry i was busy helping someone else, did you install bluez and the rest?
[07:34] <erUSUL> tr4sh80_: afaics if you install the kernel 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' you can follow the instructions...
[07:34] <dystopianray> pookey: the main benefit of gentoo is flexibility, not speed
[07:35] <searayman> Creed, not working
[07:35] <heguru> vsayikiran: is your bluetooth installed?
[07:35] <vsayikiran> heguru: do i have to run apt-get install bluez
[07:35] <heguru> vsayikiran: yes or you can run synaptic System -> Administration -> Synaptic
[07:35] <Creed> searayman, can you explain a bit more? heh
[07:35] <tr4sh80_> erUSUL: i'll try that
[07:35] <bjwebb> can i apt-get install a package so that a certain group hasn't got permissions to read it
[07:35] <erUSUL> tr4sh80_: or maybe not.... better find a debian or ubuntu specific guide
[07:35] <vsayikiran> heguru: ok i will install bluez and then call u back
[07:35] <another> searayman, there is many programs like for example mediacoder
[07:35] <heguru> ok
[07:35] <searayman> Creed, after i export it it wotn play
[07:35] <bulmer> Ashfire908: however if you are looking into something like load balancing or dual isp..there might be someway with using iproute2..much more complicated
[07:36] <tr4sh80_> erUSUL: cool thanks man appreciate the help
[07:36] <pookey> dystopianray: I know, I've been a gentoo user for years
[07:36] <vsayikiran> heguru: please tell me whther this bluez is GUI or terminal based utility
[07:36] <pookey> nox-Hand: I'm not removing gentoo from my servers anyime soon, but... gentoo on the desktop ust annoys me now :)
[07:36] <erUSUL> tr4sh80_: no probelm
[07:36] <searayman> Creed, seems liek after i click ok it just creates a file and doenst convert anything....
[07:36] <Ashfire908> bulmer: why can't i redirect some incomming traffic?
[07:36] <tr4sh80_> erUSUL: also, how do i uninstall the current version of my driver?
[07:36] <stefg> panosru: seems that you are out of luck... that package is tailored for suse, so alien can't convert it
[07:36] <dystopianray> pookey: i had used gentoo for a couple of years before moving to ubuntu at the start of this year
[07:36] <d> Hey, I need some help. I was just messing around with gdmconfig and broke my gdm. I don't have a backup of /etc/gdm or /usr/share/gdm. I tried doing a remove and install, bt it's still broke
[07:36] <pookey> nox-Hand: saying that, it seems my ubuntu has just frozen ;)
[07:36] <d> I'm on irc through bitchx right now :(
[07:37] <nox-Hand> pookey: Also find it so much easier to get an awesome setup, and when you need package X desperately it's just downloads away ;)
[07:37] <nox-Hand> pookey: Bleh, mine never does that :D
[07:37] <heguru> vsayikiran: you need bluez-gnome and gnome-bluetooth
[07:37] <heguru> vsayikiran: both are GUI
[07:37] <d> is there any way for me to recover the default gdm files besides a fresh install?
[07:37] <panosru> stefg, so what can i do now ? :(
[07:37] <nox-Hand> pookey: I only have Gentoo because I like the feeling of my PC compiling
[07:37] <bulmer> Ashfire908: can you redirect my packets towards you? how are you going to do that? answer is you cant..
[07:37] <nox-Hand> pookey: Compiling kde-meta although I never use KDE :P
[07:37] <ciaron> best open source dvd decoder?
[07:37] <heguru> vsayikiran: so start synaptic and search for bluez-gnome install that
[07:37] <pookey> nox-Hand: KDE rocks! :P
[07:37] <MrPink> heguru: An update for compiz-core  wouldn't have anything to do with anything, would it ?
[07:37] <searayman> another, how can i apt-get mediacoder?
[07:37] <heguru> vsayikiran: then search for gnome-bluetooth install that as well
[07:37] <erUSUL> tr4sh80_: dunno did it come by default with ubuntu or did you installled it by hand?
[07:37] <vsayikiran> heguru: so i need to install both
[07:37] <heguru> vsayikiran: no its not related to it
[07:37] <stefg> panosru: blame microsoft  or the sender of the document for being stupid not to use an open format.... not much more
[07:38] <MrPink> heguru: Because the Update manager is offering me one
[07:38] <bjwebb> can i apt-get install a package so that a certain group hasn't got permissions to read it?
[07:38] <nox-Hand> pookey: I find Gnome so much simpler and feels faster for me
[07:38] <tr4sh80_> erUSUL: it came with ubuntu and i think it supports monitor mode but i cant fnd the config file where i can enable monitor mode
[07:38] <heguru> vsayikiran: yes, one is for allowing pairing and the other is to allow file transfers
[07:38] <d> ideas? :(
[07:38] <pookey> nox-Hand: simple things f or simple people ;)
[07:38] <DarkMoon> i have a wireless card  but i dont know how to connect to my router?
[07:38] <bulmer> Ashfire908: I can source route my packets towards your cellfone link but that means all the sites you visit has to source route, and typically source routing is not allowed
[07:38] <d> I'd even take someone tarballing theirs and sending to me
[07:38] <pookey> nox-Hand: I'm kidding of course, each to their own
[07:38] <panosru> stefg, if say a few words about M$ here you probably ban me for ever :P
[07:39] <vsayikiran> heguru: its ok, but do i need both or is it enough to install any one
[07:39] <bulmer> Ashfire908: you can only control your outgoing, not incoming
[07:39] <Creed> Anyone know why there is a ~10 second delay after the username prompt when connecting to Ubuntu-server over SSH?
[07:39] <Ashfire908> bulmer no redirect packets that have already come in through the eth0 connection, and then check where theyare going and if they match a filer pass them throguh to the ppp0 connection
[07:39] <tr4sh80_> urusul: do you know what dir the wireles config file might be located in? It's the ipw3495 driver for intel wireless
[07:39] <heguru> vsayikiran: if you want to accept files from PHONE to PC then install gnome-bluetooth
[07:39] <tretle> is the swap the partition where grub is or is it the same partition as ubuntu?
[07:39] <`Cube> where can i download the ssl package for pidgin' msn???????
[07:39] <trixz> can anyone see if there's anything wrong with this xorg.conf? http://pastebin.com/d9a904c8 - i get a blank screen on bootup unless i switch drivers to 'nv'
[07:39] <dug_> panosru: you can upload the 2007 docx file to http://www.zamzar.com/ to have it converted to regular .doc (or pdf or other formats)
[07:39] <overclucker> d, gdm config settings are kept in $HOME
[07:39] <Madnez> anyone knows how to enter & in terminal?
[07:39] <heguru> vsayikiran: you will need bluez-gnome to allow pairing and basic functionality
[07:39] <d> overclucker: will check there
[07:39] <heguru> vsayikiran: in short install both
[07:39] <Madnez> i have like
[07:39] <Madnez> cd xxx & xxx
[07:40] <Creed> d, tried aptitude remove gdm && aptitude install gdm?
[07:40] <keito> are there any system diagnostics tools for ubuntu, I'm getting a brief freeze whilst at the same time a system beep and a click from what sounds like the hard drive.  this happened in windows too although MUCH more frequently.  I've a feeling the drive may be on its way out or the power supply is failing.  Whatever the case it'd be nice if there were some advanced tools to help me oversee me pc's health
[07:40] <vsayikiran> heguru: i got it
[07:40] <bulmer> Ashfire908: they are incoming, they hit your eth0, now you want to then send this out again and come in to ppp0 ?
[07:40] <d> overclucker: which folder?
[07:40] <panosru> thanks for tip dug_!!:D
[07:40] <another> searayman, http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/MediaCoder_on_Linux

[07:40] <Madnez> not \&\?
[07:40] <`Cube> where can i downlaod the SSL PACKGE FOR PIDGIN????
[07:40] <Ashfire908> bulmer: yes
[07:40] <dystopianray> Madnez: just \&
[07:40] <heguru> vsayikiran: welcome :)
[07:40] <dug_> Madnez: you mean in the name of a file?  you can escape it: \&
[07:40] <Madnez> ... great been doing double
[07:40] <d> overclucker: I have no X
[07:40] <Madnez> hahaha yeah
[07:40] <d> my gdm config is busted
[07:40] <dystopianray> Madnez: if you have spaces you need to escape those too
[07:40] <Madnez> thought was double
[07:40] <dystopianray> Madnez: xxx\ \&\ xxx
[07:40] <d> need the actual folder
[07:40] <Madnez> lolz....
[07:41] <MrPink> heguru: Did you read my question?
[07:41] <bulmer> Ashfire908: use of iptables and iproute2,  good luck on that
[07:41] <Madnez> thanks
[07:41] <Madnez> btw reinstalled ubuntu
[07:41] <Madnez> graph works now but wine cant run my frozen throne!
[07:41] <mechdave> Creed: Is the ip addresses for each ssh machine in /etc/hosts?
[07:41] <d> overclucker: fill in the blank -- ~/.????/gdm
[07:41] <overclucker> d, it is your home folder, if u are logged in the type cd $HOME
[07:41] <keito> d: can you not copy them from the live cd whilst using it?
[07:41] <keito> the live cd is a life saver
[07:41] <heguru> MrPink: oh that was you! :P no no, your Xgl is not working, you never started compiz :)
[07:41] <tretle> is grub on the swap partition or the ubuntu partition?
[07:41] <raybritton> I'm trying to install ubuntu, but I'm warned that I have 1 bad sector and so it won't partition, is there any way to fix/ignore this?
[07:41] <Madnez> not sure if i need to reinstall under wine or if it can work based on my old installed win
[07:41] <overclucker> d, what is your username?
[07:41] <vsayikiran> heguru:  when i am trying to install bluez-gnome its showing package cannot be authenticated
[07:42] <d> overclucker: d
[07:42] <nox-Hand> panosru: Definately :)
[07:42] <Ashfire908> bulmer: i already knew that!
[07:42] <Creed> searayman, it takes a while for the transcoding process, VLC should show the file silently playing (no visual or audio output). Wait until it is finished then try playing it.
[07:42] <MrPink> heguru: Ok.. just a thought... but running the upate wont hurt, right ?
[07:42] <d> overclucker: /home/d/.gdm does not exist
[07:42] <superSkunk> hi alle
[07:42] <vsayikiran> heguru: is there any harm in installing
[07:42] <heguru> MrPink: wont hurn
[07:42] <nox-Hand> pookey: So pointless I am compiling kde-meta :P
[07:42] <heguru> vsayikiran: no harm install it
[07:42] <keito> d: boot live cd and fix that way?????
[07:42] <MrPink> heguru: Ok thanks again ^^
[07:42] <bulmer> Ashfire908: if you already knew why ask again?
[07:42] <Creed> mechdave, shouldn't need to unless I'm trying to be REALLY secure, not required for a machine thats internal only.
[07:42] <overclucker> .gconf
[07:42] <Madnez> hmmm doesnt work
[07:42] <Madnez> xxx\\&\xxx
[07:43] <Madnez> cant enter the file
[07:43] <Ashfire908> bulmer: i didn't know how to use iptables to do that
[07:43] <salox> hi , i need a little help, i made an root acound and give all the rights. And i modified the rights for default acount. Now i can't access settings with my root acount , system say "u have no permisions" etc. How can i manage users acounts and persmisions in console mode or something ?
[07:43] <tretle> is grub on the swap partition or the ubuntu one?
[07:43] <d> overclucker: still don't see it
[07:43] <Madnez> ok never mind got it
[07:43] <overclucker> d, .gconf, .gnome2, .gconfd
[07:43] <Madnez> anyone using wine?
[07:43] <keito> yes
[07:43] <Creed> d, install the locate tool then do updatedb, when thats finished do locate .gconf or .gdm, it should locate the file(s) for you.
[07:43] <bulmer> Ashfire908: okay, btw its not just iptables, you have to include iproute2 when you have more than two route tables
[07:43] <Creed> Madnez, yes.
[07:44] <dystopianray> Madnez: I use wine
[07:44] <tr4sh80_> urusul: any luck?
[07:44] <DarkMoon> how can i use my wireless card?

[07:45] <Creed> mechdave, theres more delay locally for me than to a server across the globe (pretty much the exact same setup, with the addition of a couple more NIC's).
[07:45] <overclucker> d, i g2g, goodluck!

[07:47] <Creed> push, open up a terminal window and try doing apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade. It should grab keys for you. If not then you may be using extra repos that dont have keys available for download (you can still install content from that repo, just not as secure compared to a trusted repo).
[07:47] <Madnez> is it normal when i run wine for an incompatible file, it gives me a black screen of death?
[07:47] <another> searayman:  do u have broadband if so then u can convert the files online at http://www.zamzar.com/
[07:48] <chrisjmyers_> Can I ask a quick question about Live CD Remastering? I want to cut down the menus for the live user. Where is the file I need to edit?
[07:48] <Joth> I have a problem with my sound card on Ubuntu - it runs fine until I watch videos on the internet.
[07:48] <FKI> How do i make a user account on Samba
[07:48] <xerophyte> dug_, yes i can mount manually
[07:48] <FKI> no wait, a group on samba
[07:48] <Joth> That works fine for some time, until my sound just skips like a broken record, which it does with every sound from then on until I reboot.
[07:48] <Joth> Any ideas? Thanks
[07:48] <tr4sh80_> urUSUL: you still there?

[07:48] <jahshua> thanks Creed.
[07:48] <Ashfire908> anyone know where i could find a guide to iptables?
[07:49] <tr4sh80_> erUSUL: not much i can find as far as Ubuntu is concerned
[07:49] <heguru> FKI: if not then you don't have to create group in samba, just create a group in Linux
[07:49] <push> creed: ok which repos should i use?
[07:49] <Creed> Ashfire908, Google and Ubuntuforums.org are your friends :)
[07:49] <dug_> xerophyte: i don't know, "sudo mount -a" refreshes (or "runs") fstab.  That does nothing I assume?
[07:49] <heguru> Ashfire908: www.netfilter.org
[07:49] <jahshua> Creed: i have Ubuntu 6.06.1 ..
[07:49] <Creed> push, have you altered anything in your /etc/apt/sources.list?
[07:49] <FKI> heguru: how do i create a group in linux? or in samba?  samba is running off of this desktop i just cant figure out how to make a group
[07:49] <chrisjmyers_> stefg What do you mean?
[07:49] <xerophyte> dug_, that works i am able to mount it but .. i don't wanna do that all the time i reboot :(
[07:49] <push> creed: no
[07:49] <XzibitX> Just installed KFTPGrabber and I like it so far, but find it too much to click through the options each time I want to enter a raw command. Is there a better way, like a hotkey, or have a command line always open within the client?
[07:49] <Creed> jahshua, :) Is that all you needed to know?
[07:50] <another> searayman: http://media-convert.com/  This site is better
[07:50] <push> creed:once i had just tried google repo
[07:50] <heguru> FKI: to create a group in linux you can use System -> Administration -> User and Groups
[07:50] <Joth> Is there anyone who could please help with my sound problem?
[07:50] <heguru> Joth: what is the problem?
[07:50] <dug_> xerophyte: maybe it is mounting when you boot, but not showing up on desktop?  think that might be the issue?
[07:50] <Creed> push, please copy the contents of your sources file to pastbin.ubuntu-nl.org
[07:50] <jahshua> Creed: the latest ubuntu is 6.10, right?
[07:50] <stefg> chrisjmyers_: i mean that you could read the documentation ubotu was kind enough to provide a link :-)
[07:50] <mechdave> Ashfire908: http://www.netfilter.org

[07:50] <push> creed:ok
[07:51] <jahshua> oh
[07:51] <Creed> jahshua, if you're planning on upgrading, I would wait for the release of 7.10 (Gutsy) as its a LTS version.
[07:51] <heguru> FKI: groupadd [groupname] 
[07:51] <Ashfire908> mechdave: heguru already said that place
[07:51] <jahshua> Creed: do you know how i can check if this computer uses a wireless or an ethernet connection?
[07:51] <Jordan_U> Creed, No, it's not
[07:51] <jahshua> okay thanks, Creed.

[07:56] <robl^> Dr_willis: no.  JeOS -- its a special ubuntu for vmware appliances
[07:56] <Jordan_U> Madnez, What do you mean a windows installed program, you installed a program in windows and are trying to run it from your win partition?
[07:56] <Creed> jahshua, if there was a athX entry, then you would be using wifi. If you know your laptop has a wifi card, check out the forums to see how to get it to work.
[07:56] <Madnez> black screen.  cannot do a thing.  alt tab doesnt work etc
[07:56] <Creed> push, try pastebin.com :)
[07:56] <Madnez> yeah exactly

[07:56] <Dr_willis> robl^,  it may be listed at the 'vmware applications' web site then. they got lot of vmware images there.
[07:56] <Madnez> roughly 1/2 my disc is windows, other is linux

[07:57] <t0ms> hello, I have difficulties getting songs to play in Audacious with Ubuntu ... it tells me that some have Invalid UTF-8 characters, anyone would know why?
[07:57] <Jordan_U> Madnez, Does ctrl+alt+backspace get you out of it?
[07:57] <push> well i have pasted it http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/
[07:57] <NotSure> cc pc kaki
[07:57] <cables_malo> i figured out myu soundcard problem, never use ES1373
[07:57] <Xenosyn> Can any1 help me?
[07:57] <heguru> vsayikiran: that's not possible with ubuntu sorry
[07:57] <Jordan_U> Madnez, If not do you know about sysrq?
[07:57] <Dr_willis> dwf_starband2,  i was able to set mythtv client where it  just appeared on the other monitor of my twinview setup. But to controll it - i had to mouse over to that monitor. :)
[07:57] <stefg> dwf_starband2: you won't get that to work... Should you disagree read http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Using_multiple_monitors_with_XFree86#Multihead
[07:57] <Creed> dwf_starband2, try #mythtv-users
[07:57] <dwf_starband2> exactly what i dont want to have to do
[07:57] <cables_malo> the ES1373 doesnt install right and causes a lockup when you play anything
[07:57] <Madnez> sysrq? not sure what is that
[07:57] <pdelgallego> high-freq, im trying to delete all the .svn directories recursively. i try rm -rf .svn but this only delete the one inside current directory. Anyone know the how to do it?

[07:57] <NotSure> chiki chiki yuki
[07:57] <DarkMoon> Dr_willis:do you know how to setup wireless?
[07:57] <NotSure> cc pc kaki
[07:58] <Dr_willis> dwf_starband2,  what you are wanting to do will take some tweaking of the xorg.conf to set up 2 different  displays with different keyboard/mouse inputs.. Not sure HOW to tell the system which keyboard to use. vs the other.
[07:58] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  Wireless? i dont touch wireless.. sorry.
[07:58] <vsayikiran> heguru: i mean if you have used winxp then you can restore the item back into the folder from where we deleted it
[07:58] <Madnez> but when i use wine for some files, no it does not work
[07:58] <Creed> dwf_starband2, they probably have more experience than people in here :)
[07:58] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  if this is a wireless network . ya should of mentioned that first. :)
[07:58] <Madnez> nothing cept hard manual restart
[07:58] <cables_malo> the card i just got for 20$ sais CMI8768 and installs as the CMI8737 and works just fine
[07:58] <Xenosyn> is there an official way to get the ati x1300 graphics card to work with the fglrx drivers without getting the black screen of death?
[07:58] <Jordan_U> Madnez, Can you get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 ( F7 to get back to X )
[07:58] <Jordan_U> ?
[07:58] <cables_malo> just to let you all know
[07:58] <heguru> vsayikiran: yes i know, in linux, they are copied to the .Trash folder, and bring them back you have to do that manually
[07:58] <Creed> Xenosyn, tried Envy?
[07:58] <XzibitX> Just installed KFTPGrabber and I like it so far, but find it too much to click through the options each time I want to enter a raw command. Is there a better way, like a hot key, or have a command line always open within the client?
[07:58] <DarkMoon> can some 1 tell me how to setup my wireless network?
[07:58] <Xenosyn> not yet
[07:58] <vsayikiran> heguru: isn't there any kind of way so that i can restore
[07:59] <dwf_starband2> ive tried following a couple of how-tos editing my xorg.conf and my gdm files but no luck so far, most of the how tos are for seperate cards and multiple seats
[07:59] <heguru> vsayikiran: no
[07:59] <dwf_starband2> not dual headed cards
[07:59] <cables_malo> DarkMoon LMR400 ;)
[07:59] <dug_> what is the key combination to force quit a gui application? (like cntrl-alt-delete)  Right now I had to alt-tab and then force quit
[07:59] <Creed> Xenosyn, I got it working using Envy after many a hair-pulling sessions doing it manually heh
[07:59] <Madnez> Jordan_U, nope nothing i can do when wine dies on me
[07:59] <DarkMoon> cables_malo:what do you mean?
[07:59] <Xenosyn> do you have feisty creed?
[07:59] <Madnez> Jordan_U, some reason it just dies completely with black screen
[07:59] <nickrud> dug_: you could bind xkill to a key combo, then click the window with the mouse
[07:59] <Jordan_U> Madnez, You actually tried ctrl+alt+F1 ?
[08:00] <vsayikiran> heguru: its ok, may be Ubuntu developers should come up with a solution
[08:00] <Creed> Xenosyn, I have all versions past version 5, multiple machines.
[08:00] <Madnez> Jordan_U, tried ctrl + alt + back and alt + tab
[08:00] <Xenosyn> and u got them to work on them all?
[08:00] <dug_> nickrud: thanks I'll try that, it was an openoffice presentation full screen, suddenly froze up
[08:00] <heguru> vsayikiran: well its actually a Gnome thing, maybe they did something in the new release
[08:00] <nickrud> dug_: but alt-f4 closes working programs
[08:00] <Madnez> Jordan_U, could try running a prog now but if it dies you'll know when i DC :)
[08:00] <vsayikiran> heguru: is there anyway to undo what we have done like undo rename
[08:00] <Jordan_U> Madnez, ctrl+alt+F1 is independent of X
[08:01] <heguru> vsayikiran: no
[08:01] <Madnez> Jordan_U, ok, gonna try now. cross fingers
[08:01] <Creed> osxdude|laptop, bsod, on a ubuntu machine?!
[08:01] <Jordan_U> Madnez, If it works then log in from there and killall wine ( or wineserver -k , or killall wineserver, don't remember :)

[08:08] <macd> judah, you can check the presence of detected usb devices with 'lsusb'
[08:08] <heguru> vsayikiran: System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[08:08] <Madnez> ok that sucked
[08:08] <judah> macd, just type that in a term?
[08:08] <Electrosys> in feisty fawn my compiz-desktop effects got messed up, instead of a cube i have a plane that rotates. can anyone help?
[08:08] <Madnez> it kinda loaded, had sound but no graphics
[08:08] <Creed> mykhul, if you want headaches go with the macbook :P Toshiba on the other hand gave me no major troubles. For wireless I use a 3G card from Verizon and it worked out of the box for me.
[08:08] <macd> judah, yep
[08:08] <NickArthur> i installed ubuntu in Qemu on my windows machine.   I need to install komodo but the Extractor hangs.  i think its because NOT ENOUGH DISKSPACE I installed the thumbdrive ubuntu on  d:\Qemu.   Can anyone tell me how to mount a drive or another folder on my D:\ drive so i can have more filespace?
[08:08] <Jordan_U> sistom, That you don't need to compile it from source, just install it with Synaptic / Apt
[08:08] <Madnez> Jordan_U, lolz, nothing worked well
[08:09] <Madnez> Jordan_U, black screen, loaded but couldnt see a thing
[08:09] <judah> macd, nothing at all printed out?
[08:09] <heguru> NickArthur: thats a Windows question :D try #windows (if there is something like that)
[08:09] <nickrud> whoops: do you have a live cd for ubuntu still?
[08:09] <whoops> yah
[08:09] <Madnez> Jordan_U, could it be my desktop effects as it changed resolution to 800x600?
[08:09] <sistom> I don't understand Jordan_U
[08:09] <whoops> in it right now actually
[08:09] <Xera> I followed the tutorial for installing fglrx exactly as it says and still get an error, "No matching Device section for PCI:3:2:1"
[08:09] <macd> judah, If there is nothing plugged in, or nothign shows up at all, it sounds like your usb system isnt detected, or not configured properly
[08:10] <heguru> Xera: remove the PCI:3:1: line from your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:10] <vsayikiran> heguru: both the universe and multiverse checkboxes are selected, whats the next step
[08:10] <NickArthur> i'm looking at GNOME Desktop  how do you mount a  disk in ubuntu?
[08:10] <stefg> NickArthur: so what does 'df -h ' say?
[08:10] <Xera> heguru: There isn't one
[08:10] <darkangel> i run make 4 aaircrack and it gets a bunch errors its on my desktop is there a special folder i put it in
[08:10] <hub> Wats the name of german community#ubuntu-?????
[08:10] <Jordan_U> sistom, "sudo apt-get install eggdrop" will install eggdrop, you don't need the tar.gz or ./configure make make install, you can also use Synaptic if you want to use the GUI
[08:10] <Creed> mykhul, http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/pdet.to?seg=HHO&poid=383406&in_merch=1 is my lappy.

[08:10] <whoops> NickArthur: sudo mount /dev/*** /path
[08:10] <nickrud> whoops: try dpkg --extract /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image<aproproriate image>  .    , and copying over the stuff in the boot directory

[08:10] <judah> macd ok. yeah, i have a digi camera i was trying to detect for some pictures.  I guess there is something wrong with the usb ports in this computer if fiesty didn't detect them when installing ??
[08:11] <hub> Okay.
[08:11] <whoops> ill try that nickrud
[08:11] <whoops> thanks
[08:11] <heguru> vsayikiran: join me in #ubuntu-network i will try to guide
[08:11] <macd> judah, very possible, you can also verify you have all your updates installed, and reboot, it may have just been a "glitch"
[08:11] <Madnez> Jordan_U, could it be my desktop effects?
[08:12] <vsayikiran> ok
[08:12] <Madnez> Jordan_U, resolution change from 1200 to 800?
[08:12] <_joseywales_> ubotu: I type in my regular pword when trying to run sudo and it fails...not sure what's happening
[08:12] <judah> macd, naw, i'm up to date with all that.  This is an old machine and maybe even usb 1.0 i'm not sure.. anyways, thanks for the help..
[08:12] <Jordan_U> heguru, Looks like that is supposed to be a development only channel, I don't know if anyone will mind though.
[08:12] <mortal5> does anyone here use luks disk encryption?
[08:12] <whoops> ugh.. unbelievable.. sometimes im so clumpsy, and its not better when i, unlucky to.. i cleared the apt cache just a few hours ago.. :D
[08:12] <macd> judah, you can check 'dmesg' to see if it was detected on boot as well.
[08:13] <Jordan_U> whoops, That only clears packages not in use, you are fine
[08:13] <nickrud> whoops: when it rains it pours :)
[08:13] <whoops> well there are no files in the archive
[08:13] <whoops> nickrud: exactly..
[08:13] <stu> anyone here know how to use minicom to connect to a cisco router ???
[08:13] <guru> is there something special i have to do to allow others to access the webserver i have running on ubuntu after installing apache?
[08:14] <Jordan_U> whoops, Oh, then nice knowing you bud ;)
[08:14] <nickrud> whoops: packages.ubuntu.com , you can find the image and download it from there
[08:14] <stu> ive opened it, set the port speed to 9600 and ttyS0 but nada
[08:14] <guru> i can access it locally just fine but remotely it does not work
[08:14] <aantn> !ubuntuzilla
[08:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntuzilla - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:14] <sistom> where did it install to Jordan_U?
[08:14] <aantn> can ubuntuzilla run on ppc?
[08:14] <Jordan_U> guru, Set up port forewarding and maybe get an account with diydns
[08:14] <nickrud> whoops: check /lib/modules, make sure you're getting the right one
[08:14] <Jordan_U> guru, *dyndns
[08:14] <XzibitX> Just installed KFTPGrabber and I like it so far, but find it too much to click through the options each time I want to enter a raw command. Is there a better way, like a hot key, or have a command line always open within the client?
[08:15] <guru> Jordan_U: i don't need an account with dyndns i have a static ip address - even on the lan i can't reach the webserver but locally i can
[08:15] <Jordan_U> sistom, "which eggdrop"
[08:15] <[nrx_] > hi
[08:15] <polygonpro> can someone tell me how to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst in read/write mode?
[08:15] <judah> macd, wow. no usb at all listed. it doesn't look like it's even trying to probe for it.. ?
[08:15] <heguru> guru: do you have a firewall running (firestarter, shorewall?)
[08:15] <Jordan_U> guru, Have you changed the firewall settings ?
[08:16] <MrPink> Anyone know of a Ubuntu Channel especially for customizing? So for Themes etc. ?
[08:16] <heguru> guru: or maybe direct iptable rules added: sudo iptables -L INPUT
[08:16] <macd> judah, sounds that way, if you know your computers model# or motherboards model#/manufacturer you could google for it and see if its a supported chipset.
[08:16] <whoops> nickrud: hmm.. can i create the vmlinuz file from the files in /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic for example?
[08:16] <sistom> so Jordan_U, what about all of the tcl's and the conf file
[08:16] <sistom> ?
[08:16] <Jordan_U> MrPink, #ubuntu-effects is close ( mainly for Compiz things though the people there are probably general tweakers )
[08:16] <sistom> I have to make a dir for them and now eggdrop is just a system command?
[08:16] <nickrud> whoops: no, they are separate. You need to image deb
[08:17] <[nrx_] > is this the eggdrop support channel? :P
[08:17] <macd> aantn, looks like ubuntuzilla is only for i386/amd64 at this time.
[08:17] <nickrud> *get
[08:17] <MrPink> Jordan_U thanks I'll try there
[08:17] <Jordan_U> sistom, "dpkg -L eggdrop"
[08:17] <sistom> p
[08:17] <aantn> macd: its a python script, isn't it? Isn't python cross platform?
[08:17] <scraliontis> hi, i have a problem with ndiswrapper. i installed the windows driver into ndiswrapper, and it worked, i then rebooted, and it seemed to have worked, but after a few minutes the infterface went down, and i can bring it back up again, even by ressetting the interface with, ifdown/ifup.
[08:17] <ruben> Hi everybody
[08:17] <judah> macd, eh. i guess i'm just gonna have to install fiesty on a newer computer that i know the usb works for sure.  I've never used the usb ports on this computer and it was givin to me. its a amdk6-450mhz.. ;-)   thanks for your help..!
[08:18] <guru> nevermind, it appears ubuntu likes to renumber my interfaces
[08:18] <Madnez> guys
[08:18] <scraliontis> i mean i can bring it back up again
[08:18] <scraliontis> cant
[08:18] <Madnez> is desktop effects buggy?
[08:18] <macd> aantn, well they specifically list i386/amd64, so if that were the case I'm sure there would be a ppc version also, I tend to think its les the script and more the builds of the software it installs
[08:18] <Dr_willis> Madnez,  yes.
[08:18] <Jordan_U> Madnez, Unfortunately yes
[08:18] <aantn> macd: kk
[08:18] <heguru> guru: you can fix that using udev rules. a MUST on routers and firewalls
[08:18] <Dr_willis> Madnez,  but people have eyecandy-addiction.
[08:18] <Madnez> could it be the reason why my wine isnt working properly with graphics?
[08:19] <Madnez> the effects make my com look like vista :D
[08:19] <erUSUL> guru: man iftab
[08:19] <Dr_willis> Madnez,  wine can be considered buggy also.
[08:19] <scraliontis>  hi, i have a problem with ndiswrapper. i installed the windows driver into ndiswrapper, and it worked, i then rebooted, and it seemed to have worked, but after a few minutes the infterface went down, and i cant bring it back up again, even by ressetting the interface with, ifdown/ifup.
[08:19] <Dr_willis> Madnez,  vista dosent have near the effects that ive seen on thios box with Compwiz. :)
[08:19] <Madnez> it loaded frozen throne... well i could hear just audio
[08:19] <Madnez> yeah heard of compwiz. not sure if i should get it :D
[08:20] <aantn> Is there a way to force quit a program if my system freezes?
[08:20] <tifine> hey everybody
[08:20] <Dr_willis> Madnez,  if you are using the fancy desktop stuff.. then you are using it..  (or beryl)
[08:20] <aantn> hello
[08:20] <tifine> question about ssh ?
[08:20] <tifine> my server is behind router, how can i connect to my server outside the network ?
[08:20] <Madnez> hahaa
[08:20] <Jordan_U> Madnez, BTW, the one almost sure no matter what way of reviving a "frozen" box is ssh
[08:20] <nickrud> tifine: forward your ssh port thru the router
[08:20] <Madnez> Dr_willis, still i'm stuck on wine with frozen throne
[08:20] <tifine> i already did that but still not working
[08:20] <Jordan_U> tifine, But be sure you have a good password first :)
[08:21] <tifine> nickrud:  sorry i already did the prot
[08:21] <Dr_willis> Madnez,   theres a wine site or 3 with details on what games/tweaks are needed with wine. it also pays to eliminate all the possibilities.. so i say disable all the fancy eyecandy stuff also.
[08:21] <scraliontis> why wont it work,
[08:21] <nickrud> tifine: and configure /etc/ssh/ssh_config to accept connections from other than 127.0.0.1
[08:21] <Madnez> Jordan_U, okkkk.... so jordan, what progs you run wine with?
[08:21] <Dr_willis> I use wine with 'winrar.exe' :) thats about it.
[08:21] <Nattgew> aantn, ctrl+backspace kills X, and there's a panel applet that lets you kill programs...
[08:21] <Madnez> Dr_willis, yeah was thinking of that
[08:21] <tifine> nickrud:  okie let me have a look on this file though
[08:21] <nickrud> tifine: erm, sshd_config that is
[08:21] <Madnez> hahaha yeah, why is winrar free for WINDOWS ONLY?
[08:21] <aantn> Nattgew: ctrl+backspace doesn't work
[08:21] <tifine> nickrud: thnxs
[08:22] <Jordan_U> Madnez, I used it for Quicktime and a little program called plasma pong, I don't really use it much though
[08:22] <aantn> i.e. if compiz fusion freezes
[08:22] <Madnez> we get a 40 day time.... sucks
[08:22] <Madnez> /reply
[08:22] <Madnez> hmm
[08:22] <Dr_willis> Madnez,  it dosent really matter. if it starts nagging ya - delete the .wine dir, and reinstall it :)
[08:22] <Nattgew> aantn ctrl+alt+backspace?
[08:22] <Jordan_U> !rar | Madnez
[08:22] <ubotu> Madnez: 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
[08:22] <aantn> Nattgew: usually it works
[08:22] <whoops> nickrud: hmm.. so when i got the deb, do i mount my boot partition in /boot and just intall it? (sounds too simple to me..)
[08:22] <aantn> Nattgew: but I'm talking about cases where it doesn't
[08:22] <Hestv4> firestarter is braindead...
[08:22] <Madnez> Dr_willis, cant, i want to run some windows programs and maybe a few games now and then ;)
[08:22] <piedoggie> looking for the python profiler module but apt-get tells me the packages missing (this is on 6.06).  Any idea what's going on?
[08:23] <Nattgew> aantn if you can't switch to a tty then I don't think there's much you can do
[08:23] <whoops> or nm nickrud, forgot what you said first
[08:23] <whoops> sorry!
[08:23] <nickrud> whoops: no, you do that dpkg --extract <image> .   and copy the contents of the boot directory that appears to your boot dir
[08:23] <Madnez> Dr_willis, unless i can get my damn vulture to work.  even now its giving me missing audioSDL 1.2.0 lib
[08:23] <nickrud> whoops: no problem
[08:23] <firebird619> Could someone help me? My screen is flickering and the panels, which I have at the default color, are pinkish. It is a 22-inch widescreen connected via VGA. I had it connected to DVI but then I switched to VGA because I couldn't get the native resolution on DVI.
[08:23] <Xera> Bah, trying to use Envy to install the ATI driver, on the website it says Ubuntu 7.04 is supported but I get http://pastebin.com/md54b3f3 when running it
[08:23] <tifine> nickrud : how should i allow to accept the connections from anywhere ?
[08:23] <nickrud> tifine: listen address, uncomment it
[08:24] <Madnez> last time i installed SDL, something went wrong and my display driver couldnt be detected....
[08:24] <scraliontis>  hi, i have a problem with ndiswrapper. i installed the windows driver into ndiswrapper, and it worked, i then rebooted, and it seemed to have worked, but after a few minutes the infterface went down, and i cant bring it back up again, even by ressetting the interface with, ifdown/ifup.
[08:24] <Jordan_U> Madnez, Do a diff of your wine registry before and after install * I don't know how to do this though * :)
[08:24] <aantn> hmm...
[08:24] <Madnez> hahhaa
[08:24] <aantn> I may have found something
[08:24] <Miyanokouji> I'm having problems getting my Fujitsu Stylistic LT P-600's touch screen working. I'm using the instructions from http://chiyostetanus.bravehost.com/p600.html. It's supposed to use /dev/ttyS3, but when I attempt to use setserial on ttyS3 it says "device or resource busy"
[08:24] <Miyanokouji> Any ideas?
[08:24] <aantn> the sysrq key
[08:24] <Madnez> well i'll try first with effects
[08:24] <nickrud> tifine: that is, remove the # at the beginning of line 8, and /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[08:24] <Madnez> then if it doesnt work, i'll use other programs
[08:24] <Madnez> thanks anyway jordan and willis (gone)
[08:25] <Nattgew> aantn I've never heard of that, what does it do?
[08:25] <sistom> how do I set it up so that my ip resolves to my webpage I am hosting
[08:25] <sistom> I already have the domain pointing at my home ip
[08:25] <sistom> but how do I point my home ip at the domain
[08:25] <Jordan_U> Madnez, Set up ssh though also, it comes in handy :)
[08:25] <aantn> Its an emergency force quit option built into the kernel
[08:25] <sistom> ?
[08:26] <Madnez> WOOT!
[08:26] <Jordan_U> aantn, What do you mean?
[08:26] <Madnez> alright!
[08:26] <hmhowie> sistom: evening :) did it work?
[08:26] <Madnez> works like a charm!
[08:26] <Jordan_U> aantn, sysrq?
[08:26] <Nattgew> aantn nice... does it work?
[08:26] <Madnez> desktop effects is out of my system forever!!!!
[08:26] <Madnez> HAHAHHAA
[08:26] <sistom> dude howie!
[08:26] <sistom> listen
[08:26] <sistom> I just kept trying and trying
[08:26] <aantn> Jordan_U: its sysrq + something else
[08:26] <sistom> and praying that it would work
[08:26] <Madnez> anyway thanks jordan
[08:26] <sistom> and it did
[08:26] <sistom> lol
[08:26] <aantn> Madnez: why?!
[08:26] <Jordan_U> aantn, sysrq-k is what I think you are referring to
[08:26] <hmhowie> sistom: and now it runs stabily?
[08:27] <Jordan_U> aantn, If so then yes
[08:27] <Madnez> desktop effects doesnt work for displays <1200
[08:27] <sistom> yessir
[08:27] <sistom> been on since I updated it
[08:27] <Madnez> my old games settings was around 800-1000 so it must have fucked display
[08:27] <aantn> Madnez: oh :(
[08:27] <hmhowie> Madnez: they work on my laptop at 1024x768 :)
[08:27] <Madnez> damn, should mind my language :D
[08:27] <Madnez> desktop effects? nice
[08:27] <Madnez> it screwed my Frozen throne tho
[08:27] <hmhowie> sistom: cool :) i'm glad to here it :)
[08:27] <Madnez> 800x600
[08:28] <aantn> hmm...
[08:28] <aantn> whats the sysrq key on an apple keyboard?
[08:28] <sistom> so hmhowie, did you see my previous question?
[08:28] <Madnez> anyway may fiddle around and see the limitations of desktop
[08:28] <Madnez> but it works! awesome
[08:28] <Jordan_U> aantn, There is none :(
[08:28] <scraliontis> how can i tell if ndiswrapper is doing its job properly, and then make sure that its actually uses dniswrapper for its drivers.
[08:29] <aantn> Jordan_U: so how can I change the shortcut?
[08:29] <Jordan_U> aantn, At least as far as I can tell to use a mac keyboard you will have to remap sysrq in the kernel
[08:29] <nickrud> scraliontis: grep ndiswrapper /var/log/syslog
[08:29] <tifine> nickrud: okie its done  but trying to connect and its saying port 22 connection refused
[08:29] <aantn> Jordan_U: how would I do that?
[08:29] <Madnez> must be me but the game runs faster now in linux... even with emulator!
[08:29] <hmhowie> sistom: um, no :( i'll scroll up and have a look...
[08:29] <Jordan_U> aantn, No idea :(
[08:29] <sistom> here: I am just trying to point my ip at a domain
[08:30] <Madnez> and yeah tabbing is way faster here than win
[08:30] <sistom> so it resolves to the domain name
[08:30] <sistom> I already pointed the domain to my ip
[08:30] <hmhowie> sistom: i'm not sure i understand. do you mean something like dyndns?
[08:30] <sistom> well I have a static ip address
[08:31] <nickrud> tifine: then I'm not sure what's going on there then, since that's all I had to do
[08:31] <Madnez> i'm gonna try something more powerful
[08:31] <Madnez> hehehe this is great!
[08:31] <kst> Madnez my q3 speeded up from something like 350fps to 500fps :)
[08:31] <sistom> I want it to be like when I come on irc it says sistom@mydomain.com
[08:31] <kst> when switching from winxp to ubuntu
[08:31] <KurtKraut> sistom: this is a very complicated thing to do
[08:31] <[nrx_] > sistom, that involves rDNS and the like
[08:31] <sistom> yup
[08:31] <[nrx_] > you also need to be running a dns server at home
[08:31] <whoops> hmm nickrud, what should i do about the missing initrd-file?
[08:31] <sistom> hrmm
[08:32] <heguru> sistom: you need to configure rdns for this, only your ISP (from where you got the static IP) can do that
[08:32] <nolemm> hi
[08:32] <hmhowie> sistom: i'm still confused. i don't believe you're asking how to change your nick on irc :)
[08:32] <sistom> haha no hmhowie
[08:32] <Jordan_U> whoops, You could grab it from the kernel package @ packages.ubuntu.com
[08:32] <sistom> ok heguru thanks
[08:32] <sistom> I didn't know that
[08:32] <scraliontis> i tried that, it says ndiswrapper is properly loaded, by the interface still wont work.
[08:32] <sistom> what I was trying to do was setup a vhost from my home computer
[08:33] <whoops> Jordan_U: i've extracted it, but it doesn't seem to be there
[08:33] <sistom> I mean I own like 10 domains
[08:33] <nickrud> whoops: darned good question. The time I wiped my /boot was back when initrd's weren't used. Forgot completely about it.
[08:33] <[nrx_] > sistom you can't do that unless you're running a dns server and you have rdns setup by your isp
[08:33] <Jordan_U> whoops, Oh, I forgot, the initrd is generated, it's not in the package
[08:33] <sistom> bah
[08:33] <nolemm> could someone help me get my huawei e220 hsdpa modem running under ubuntu?
[08:33] <sistom> too much a pain then
[08:33] <hmhowie> sistom: okay :) i'm just not used to talking about this stuff in english, so i get confused...
[08:33] <vattam> Hi all
[08:33] <heguru> sistom: yes as the domain owner you can configure domainname to ip mapping. But ip to domainname (reverse dns) can be done by IP owner (your ISP)
[08:33] <Jordan_U> whoops, You might need to chroot in to regenerate it
[08:33] <sistom> I'll just continue to use my shells
[08:33] <tifine> nickrud:  can i pass you my ip address and if you try it out
[08:33] <nickrud> tifine: sure
[08:34] <[nrx_] > sistom why don't you put a BNC on one of your shells?

[08:34] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[08:34] <sistom> I jsut wanted my ip to resolve to my domain
[08:34] <[nrx_] > sistom, ask your isp to do this for you
[08:35] <piedoggie> why can I find a package listed in packages.ubuntu.com but I can't install that same package or even find it with aptitude?
[08:35] <bulmer> vattam: you can flush the iptable rules with iptables -F
[08:35] <Jordan_U> whoops, Trying to remember / research, you can probably cheat by running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure <kernel package>"
[08:35] <tifine> nickrud:  ?
[08:35] <vattam> bulmer: thanks
[08:35] <nickrud> tifine: appears to be timing out
[08:35] <vattam> bulmer: please be more specific
[08:36] <whoops> Jordan_U: thanks, ill use the google a bit too :)
[08:36] <tifine> nickrud: damn
[08:36] <vattam> bulmer: as in should i type it in the terminal?
[08:36] <bulmer> vattam: come again?
[08:36] <Mrowkojad> Stern: :)
[08:36] <tifine> nickrud,  what do u think ?
[08:36] <Stern> :D
[08:36] <bulmer> vattam iptables -F ;    also do a man iptables
[08:36] <piedoggie> no ideas or suggestions on the discrepancy?
[08:36] <nickrud> tifine: I'm no expert on ssh. I just changed the listen and got in on my machine.
[08:37] <Stern> Mrowa
[08:37] <vattam> bulmer: ok fine thanks

[08:38] <Xera> I have an ATI 9250, which driver do I need/how do I set it up if I plan on using compiz-fusion? I've been told to use the Restricted Drivers Manager but it tells me I don't need one..

[08:38] <whoops> hehe
[08:39] <hmhowie> hub: emacs :)
[08:39] <chadeldridge> what do i put in the interfaces file to specify the default
[08:39] <hmhowie> hub: that is, i assume emacs has a major-mode for basic somewhere :) (my suggestion is not serious, unless you already know and can use emacs)
[08:39] <hub> ok
[08:39] <Jordan_U> Xera, Do you know if you have direct rendering, and does Desktop Effects work?
[08:39] <Dr_willis> emacs is handy :)
[08:40] <flokuehn> hub: vim
[08:40] <Madnez> guys
[08:40] <hmhowie> Dr_willis: do you use emacs? i only got into it about a week ago, but i'm finding it really good
[08:40] <Xera> Jordan_U: Before fiddling with fglrx I had direct rendering but desktop effects didn't work
[08:40] <Madnez> how do i disable alt + right click control?

[08:41] <bullgard4> In order to better understand the structure of contemporary websites I downloaded http://fosswire.com/2007/09/08/fix-a-frozen-system-with-the-magic-sysrq-keys/ using File > Save As. It produced a directory with 26 objects, 4 of them more directories. What is the name of the file that contains the main text?

[08:41] <cables_malo> anyone anyone? logitech webcam?\
[08:42] <mihailvoiculescu> a ps2 emulator for ubuntu ???

[08:42] <A_is_A> In the gnome-search-tool, what wildcard would I use to search for all files that are NOT .mp3?
[08:42] <whoops> on my way nickrud, thanks yet again!
[08:42] <killaz> After that I get a dialog. I click on Write but then nothing happens
[08:42] <PriceChild> nerdydude20, botabuse causes angry ops ;)
[08:42] <A_is_A> Like how *.mp3 finds all .mp3
[08:42] <nerdydude20> but its so fun
[08:42] <PriceChild> cables_malo, are you sure it isn't working?
[08:42] <cables_malo> does anyone know how to get a webcam to work with ubuntu ?
[08:42] <cables_malo> well it might be
[08:42] <cables_malo> how would i know?
[08:42] <vattam> bulmer:done  what next?

[08:43] <MrPink> Maybe someone can help me here... its probably a simple problem (still a mega newb ) I am just trying to install a theme from a site... and I tried to drag and Drop... and some things changed... but not the way as shown on the Screenshot ^^

[08:43] <ruben> Hi, i need to do an endproject this year for school. And i had an idea to make a sort of bootable recovery cd for windows en unix systems alike. A virus scanner, A File Recovery Tool, read and write permissions for the entire hard disk. Is this doable?
[08:44] <PriceChild> ruben, stuff already does that... basically a live cd with seperate apps installed?
[08:44] <KurtKraut> ruben: Yes, sure.
[08:44] <cables_malo>  "can not connect to divice /dev/video0"
[08:44] <cables_malo> mount /dev/video0 ?
[08:44] <KurtKraut> ruben: you can even put a Windows password cracker in this livecd.
[08:44] <hmhowie> hub: yeah, that's about right. emacs contains a number of kitchen sinks. just don't expect to be productive with it for about a week after installing it. it'll take you that long to learn to use it. but once you can use it, you can work like the wind
[08:44] <McLovin> is there a way to group similar items in the task bar?
[08:44] <eck> ruben: how much of it do you plan to write yourself as opposed to aggregating other software?
[08:45] <killaz> Is there a know issue with burning CD's on Ubuntu Edgy?
[08:45] <jo_> question: twinview puts my desktop-icons and dock-application between the two screens. my second monitor is a tv. i want my desktop to remain unchanged on primary screen. anybody has solution???
[08:45] <hub> how can enable syntax hihglit on emacs now ?
[08:45] <A_is_A> In the gnome-search-tool, what wildcard would I use to search for all files that are NOT .mp3? Like how *.mp3 finds all .mp3...
[08:45] <hub> who ?
[08:45] <killaz> Because after clicking on Write in the dialog the cd burning doesn't start..
[08:45] <McLovin> jo_, that might be a #ubuntu-effects question but channel seems very quiet
[08:46] <ruben> It would mostly be allready made apps on a bootable cd, i guess my idea is a bit to easy.
[08:46] <jo_> McLovin: thanks, will check and come back than
[08:46] <vattam> bulmer: done what next?
[08:46] <Vadi> Does anyone know if the  Intel T2500 2.0GHz Core Duo processor is 32 or 64 bit?
[08:47] <eck> ruben: there are already a lot of live cd distros that have that functionality already
[08:47] <KurtKraut> Vadi: all two core processors are 64 bits
[08:47] <Vadi> Oh, okay
[08:47] <hmhowie> hub: you'll need a tutorial for emacs. to enable syntax highlighting, you'll also need a "major-mode" or a "minor-mode". there should be one in the repositories
[08:47] <killaz> Guess not..
[08:47] <ruben> I guess it is overdone then.
[08:47] <A_is_A> In the gnome-search-tool, what wildcard would I use to search for all files that are NOT .mp3? Like how *.mp3 finds all .mp3...
[08:47] <hub> okay
[08:47] <uukchuen> I have been visiting this channel, looking for an answer. I hope someone, one day, answer my question: I have programs and gnome session segfault, I want to know what to do!
[08:47] <ruben> It's hard to find something that is possible, but not to easy.
[08:48] <Dr_willis> uukchuen,  every program? a few programs? run them from the terminal see if any errors show up..
[08:48] <KurtKraut> uukchuen: this is a complex issue that is not better addressed in realtime support, that suits better quick issues. Try asking for help in ubuntuforums.org
[08:48] <eck> ruben: go look at the blueprints on launchpad, there are a lot of ideas that have been proposed that are just waiting to be implemented by someone with the time to do so
[08:49] <bulmer> vattam: what do you need done?

[08:50] <A_is_A> jrib: thank you daddy
[08:50] <bulmer> vattam:  that command did not flush the rules?
[08:50] <vattam> bulmer: it did
[08:51] <bulmer> vattam if it has, what do you want to do next?
[08:51] <vattam> bulmer: but still azureus still says NAT DHT firewalled
[08:51] <uukchuen> KurtKraut: if Dr Willis want to help, I will try that!
[08:51] <ruben> eck: My knowledge of linux is very limited. I cannot write any piece of code yet, i know the purpose of such a project is to learn something, but i need to do something that is possible to learn and create in the time frame i have. I still have lessons and lot's of work every day...
[08:51] <whoops> Jordan_U and nickrud, now let's see if it works... hopefully ill brb! :)
[08:51] <vattam> bulmer: because of that i am not able to get full bandwidth
[08:51] <bulmer> vattam you can check if there are any other rules, iptables -vL

[08:53] <karel> When I try to hibernate, first I get very short the screensaver (maybe a second?), then I get a blank screen with flickering cursor and at a given time I get (again VERY short) some text on the screen (see http://karel.awardspace.com/FPD/?path=/Rest), followed by another black screen and the login window appearing...

[08:54] <lgc> !sound

[08:55] <vattam> bulmer: ok thanks
[08:56] <IhateCLI> I know about Alien, I don't like entering the commands into the command line. Should I just suck it up and get typing?
[08:56] <PriceChild> sistom_, apt-get makes thigns easy... and its built for ubuntu, use it if possible
[08:56] <variant> sistom_: no, use synaptic (in the admin menu)
[08:56] <jrib> IhateCLI: no, read teh message from ubotu so you can install flash using your favorite package manager
[08:56] <KurtKraut> IhateCLI: RPM is not really needed and not the best method to do what you want
[08:56] <Dr_willis> sistom_,  lets put it this way.. its MUCH easier to 'just' apt-get install stuff...
[08:56] <joakim-> Jordan_U and nickrud, it worked :) no splash screen but guess i didnt set that yet :)
[08:56] <vsayikiran> heguru: are you there
[08:56] <joakim-> (think i was called whoops earlier..)

[08:57] <sistom_> ok wow
[08:57] <variant> IhateCLI: got to youtube, firefox will tell you it needs missing plugins, click install, agree to eula, press next, and it's installed

[08:57] <curious101> hi, i need help with XINETD compilation. anyone has installed it yet?
[08:57] <variant> IhateCLI: there are .deb's for virtually all the software that there are .rpm's for

[08:57] <president> i recently added a wireless headset with mic (also wireless) from ebay, it works well in Windows, I finally made it works properly for the headphones function but the mic quality is still very poor. I was wondering if there's something I can do to fix it. I will use it mainly for Skype. Thank you.
[08:57] <jrib> IhateCLI: you don't install rpm on Ubuntu.  Ubuntu uses debs instead.  You should just use a Package Manager, no need to go scouring the web to download stuff to install.  APT takes care of everything
[08:57] <variant> curious101: i use xinetd, what are you compiling it for? apt-get install xinetd

[08:58] <me_> what's the matter with capital letters?
[08:58] <variant> Dr_willis: actually, there is one guy who has written at least 500 usb webcam drivers

[08:58] <Dr_willis> variant,  right.. but i bet he has some help. :)

[08:59] <lorenz> hi guys. pls help me - sound doesn't work anymore!
[08:59] <Dr_willis> variant,  that guy must be really..  a glutton for punishment also. :)
[08:59] <PriceChild> !sound | lorenz
[08:59] <ubotu> lorenz: 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).

[08:59] <variant> Dr_willis: actually no, there is a new article about how he did it all on his own.. retired french guy iirc
[08:59] <IhateCLI> Not to be difficult or anything guys, but it's much easier for me to convert rpms to debs and install those.
[08:59] <me_> how could i ask him for a driver for my webcam?
[08:59] <brontos> Anyone ever see this? "Uhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 3c on CPU 0."
[08:59] <variant> IhateCLI: no, it is not
[08:59] <hub> who is a tutorial for emacs to make syntax highlite ?
[08:59] <Dr_willis> variant,  heh - i seem to recall that.. amazing thing is out of those 500 - i got 3 differnt ones that dont work.  heh.
[08:59] <macd> IhateCLI, its also the worst thing you can do.
[08:59] <curious101> variant: i'll use it for SWAT, an smb.conf frontend. When I compiled xinetd from source, it didn't create the necessary dirs.
[08:59] <jrib> IhateCLI: it's really not.  At least make an effort to glance at the wiki page...
[08:59] <Dr_willis> i should sent them all to him!
[08:59] <IhateCLI> macd how so?
[08:59] <variant> Dr_willis: same ehre lol
[09:00] <Dr_willis> makes one wonder what the webcam makers are doing that there needs to be 500 drivers for 500 cams...
[09:00] <PriceChild> !offtopic | me_
[09:00] <ubotu> me_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:00] <macd> IhateCLI, using alien to convert RPMs, doesnt check package depenencies, and can hose your system, how is that easier? or safer?
[09:00] <curious101> variant: did I do something wrong? it should create the directories and files, rithg?
[09:00] <SaxUz> hub: google does :P = http://freemarker.org/editors.html
[09:00] <variant> curious101: yes, i used it for swat too. i used it on gentoo though and that is compiled from source
[09:00] <curious101> *right
[09:00] <hub> i search it too
[09:00] <me_> bye, then
[09:00] <hub> but dont find anythink
[09:00] <Dr_willis> me_,  you would have much better luck at checking the list of supported cams and getting one.
[09:00] <me_> ok
[09:00] <president> i recently added a wireless headset with mic (also wireless) from ebay, it works well in Windows, I finally made it works properly for the headphones function but the mic quality is still very poor. I was wondering if there's something I can do to fix it. I will use it mainly for Skype. Thank you.
[09:00] <macd> IhateCLI, type apt-get install package, is much easier then using alien, and installing RPMs.
[09:00] <Crozar> can some1 help me with VirtualBox? i have downloaded and installed it but on procedure #2 after putting the source theyr is something about a key and how can u do that
[09:00] <SaxUz> that website has a file in it that has syntax highlighting
[09:00] <curious101> oh, i see. the .deb version of xinetd seemed to compile okay.
[09:00] <variant> curious101: you need to add the swat script in /etc/init.d/xinet.conf iirc
[09:01] <me_> thanks, dr. willis
[09:01] <jstarcher> how can I convert wmv to mpg? I tried ffmpeg but it says input codec unknown
[09:01] <IhateCLI> macd it's less work for me, chances are it won't mess things up too much, and if it does, hey, a clean install takes only an hour. I'll go read the wiki though...
[09:01] <hub> SaxUz: is that for Basic ?
[09:01] <PriceChild> Crozar, something about a key? Could you be more exact... especially as this software isn't in ubuntu its gonna be harder for us to help if you don't give us any information
[09:01] <curious101> variant: yeah, but after I did the "make install" command, the directory, xinetd and the files inside it weren't created.
[09:01] <jrib> IhateCLI: I understand that you may be more familiar with rpm.  But trust me, take a few minutes to see how to use the Package managers in ubuntu and you will never go back
[09:02] <variant> IhateCLI: it will mess things up.
[09:02] <SaxUz> hub: I dunno .. here looks to be a more in depth tutorial on how to do it if you want to make your own (I haven't read it but that looks like what it is )
[09:02] <SaxUz> http://two-wugs.net/emacs/mode-tutorial.html
[09:02] <variant> IhateCLI: use alien if you insist
[09:02] <PriceChild> IhateCLI, if you want rpm then don't use ubuntu
[09:02] <hub> hmm...
[09:02] <Nekralixir> jstarcher, will this do? http://www.zamzar.com/
[09:02] <variant> IhateCLI: apt-get isntall alien && alien -i whatever.rpm iirc
[09:03] <KurtKraut> variant: he wants to use RPM to install flash. He should not do it :P
[09:03] <PriceChild> !alien > variant
[09:03] <jstarcher> Nekralixir, that's pretty slick but the file is 4.7gb so I need to do it locally
[09:03] <IhateCLI> jrib: I'm not familiar with rpm. Or deb. I find out I need a piece of software, I'm pointed to an rpm download, I'd rather just convert and install instead of hunting for the deb.
[09:03] <Sirius_Black> ?
[09:03] <Jordan_U> !alien | IhateCLI
[09:03] <ubotu> IhateCLI: 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)
[09:03] <PriceChild> IhateCLI, what software is this?
[09:03] <Jordan_U> IhateCLI, What are you trying to install?
[09:03] <macd> PriceChild, Flash.
[09:03] <PriceChild> macd, *hopes not as i'll explode*
[09:03] <variant> PriceChild: why did you do that?
[09:03] <Crozar> PriceChild: well after installing  i have added the sources.list with a code givin in virtualbox . site , then it asks me about the innotek public key for apt-secure i downloaded that it says u can add the key with apt-key add innotek i did but gives me an eror
[09:03] <macd> ne, seriously ;P
[09:04] <jrib> IhateCLI: that's the thing.  You do not hunt for the software.  You just open a package manager like  system -> administration -> synaptic, search for "flash", right click -> install.  And done.  It fetches the package on its own and anything else you need to get flash
[09:04] <KurtKraut> IhateCLI: we have already told you that you don't need RPM to install flash. There are other proper ways to install flash in Ubuntu.
[09:04] <curious101> IhateCLI, that's why you need to learn to compile from source so installation won't be distro specific
[09:04] <acee1234> my "super" button seams to be inactive any ideas on how to activate it?
[09:04] <PriceChild> Crozar, right :) Ok you can ignore these warnings if you want, they are not critical... or you can search for innotek's gpg key to add in system > admin > software sources
[09:04] <PriceChild> acee1234, the windows key?
[09:04] <PriceChild> curious101, please don't suggest that.
[09:04] <curious101> okay
[09:04] <acee1234> pricechild yes
[09:04] <curious101> sorry
[09:05] <PriceChild> acee1234, how do you know its not active?
[09:05] <Crozar> sorry now with sudo it worked it said Ok
[09:05] <Jordan_U> IhateCLI, And if you want to search in nice catagories and exclude CLI libraries and apps then just use Applications -> Add/Remove ( unlike in windows it is actually used to "Add" and "Remove" applications :)
[09:05] <Crozar> PriceChild:  but i cant see the app to launch virtual box :/
[09:05] <NotSure> cc pc kaki
[09:05] <acee1234> pricechild any key combinations involving it dont work
[09:05] <PriceChild> Crozar, is it installed?
[09:05] <PriceChild> acee1234, in beryl/compiz?
[09:05] <IhateCLI> With all due respect, guys, my qestion was *not* "how do I install flash". It was "how do I use the GUI to convert an rpm to a deb". "That's not possible" is an acceptable answer. I'm really sorry I confused you.
[09:05] <curious101> !xinetd
[09:05] <acee1234> pricechild mainly using them with compiz
[09:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xinetd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:06] <PriceChild> Crozar, after adding the line to your sources.list then you need to apt-get install the package?
[09:06] <PriceChild> acee1234, ask in #ubuntu-effects please
[09:06] <Crozar> yup , and it said i need some additional libraries , ive done that manually by typeing sudo apt-get install < lib name >
[09:06] <Jordan_U> curious101, I doubt that someone named IhateCLI wants to learn to compile from source :)
[09:06] <acee1234> pricechild will do
[09:06] <slasher> hey, what's the apt-get command to get kernel headers?
[09:06] <PriceChild> IhateCLI, it is possible, but is dangerous and not advised... ESPECIALLY for things like flash which are so easily installed through wizards.
[09:06] <PriceChild> slasher, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[09:07] <IhateCLI> Jordan_U That's my only option? But... There's got to be a GUI alien somewhere or something.
[09:07] <Tornado> #movies-r-us
[09:07] <slasher> thanks PriceChild
[09:07] <curious101> Jordan_U: i understand
[09:07] <PriceChild> Jordan_U, what do you want to install?
[09:07] <PriceChild> gah
[09:07] <Crozar> i downloaded the .deb then double clicked it and synaptic installed it for me , then it asked me to put a line source into etc/apt/sources.list then go to terminal and install thekey , but still cant see the app i think i finsihed all 3 steps
[09:07] <PriceChild> IhateCLI, what do you want to install?
[09:07] <Jordan_U> IhateCLI, There probably is, I never said it was your only option, but you will almost never need to convert an RPM to a .deb
[09:08] <PriceChild> Crozar, yuo didn't tell me the first bit... if you've isntalled it from a deb, no need to add the line to sources.list
[09:08] <curious101> the command for installing .deb files is dpkg, am I correct?
[09:08] <d2dchat> How do you update Ubuntu Fiesty java alternatives to accept the sun java 6 jdk?
[09:08] <PriceChild> Crozar, I "think" it is located in "applications > other" or "applications > system tools"
[09:08] <PriceChild> !java | d2dchat
[09:08] <ubotu> d2dchat: 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
[09:08] <Crozar> PriceChild:  i did the exact procedure from this site look http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[09:08] <Crozar> ouch
[09:08] <Crozar> i see it
[09:08] <Crozar> lol
[09:09] <petru> hello all
[09:09] <d2dchat> PriceChild, I'm on that page right now, but it says
[09:09] <PriceChild> Crozar, wget http://www.virtualbox.org/debian/innotek.asc
[09:09] <Crozar> in system tools !!!!!!
[09:09] <IhateCLI> Jordan_U Erm... Suppose I'm *really* itching to do it. By the way, the flashplugin-nonfree description says it's for mozilla based browsers... I'm using Opera.
[09:09] <PriceChild> Crozar, apt-key add innotek.asc
[09:09] <Jordan_U> IhateCLI, What you are asking is like someone asking "how do I manually edit the registry to install something instead of using the installer" in windows, it's just not a good idea and you will probably never need to do it ( if there is an rpm there is probably a proper .deb available )
[09:09] <d2dchat> PriceChild, sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun.. isn't that different from sun-java-6?
[09:09] <PriceChild> d2dchat, you want to use the commands explained thereto list the alternatives...
[09:09] <Crozar> PriceChild: thank you , its working i hope i could get now Xp working on it or Vista :/
[09:09] <PriceChild> d2dchat, then select the one you want.
[09:09] <PriceChild> Crozar, it'll be a breeze now :)
[09:09] <petru> got a serious problem. i copied a file from a mounted partition in may home folder and now, i cant delete it! why is that?
[09:09] <Jordan_U> IhateCLI, I think Opera looks for and can use Netscape style plugins
[09:10] <d2dchat> PriceChild, ah that is the -l :)
[09:10] <Jordan_U> IhateCLI, So it should work for Opera also
[09:10] <PriceChild> petru, my guess is you copied it as root, and are trying to delete as your normal user
[09:10] <PriceChild> d2dchat, they you can just copy and paste the exact line to replace the 1.5 one :)
[09:10] <curious101> the command for installing .deb files is dpkg, am I correct?
[09:10] <Crozar> any recommendations for VirtualBox? which run's smoother vista or xp?
[09:10] <PriceChild> curious101, yes
[09:10] <Xero> Crozar, obviously XP
[09:10] <Jordan_U> IhateCLI, If not then go to a page that needs flash and use Opera's automatic plugin installation /note I don't use Opera :)
[09:10] <curious101> k, tnx
[09:10] <petru> prince child, u are probably right. but wahts the solution?
[09:10] <scraliontis> xp probebly
[09:10] <PriceChild> curious101, dpkg -i /path/to/deb.deb
[09:11] <curious101> oh, the -i switch installs it. right. thanks
[09:11] <PriceChild> curious101, you can also just double click them in a gui to get gdebi to guify it for you :)
[09:11] <TeePOG> Crozar: do you have a massive dual Athlon64 box with 4 GB of RAM?
[09:11] <MasterShrek> petru, sudo rm [file] 
[09:11] <IhateCLI> Jordan_U: Ok, sorry if this is a bit rude, but I'm a guy who wove chainmail, learned elvish and took latin while studying biochemistry. A lot of the things I do aren't necessarily the "best" idea.
[09:11] <Jordan_U> curious101, dpkg -i then "sudo apt-get -f install"
[09:11] <PriceChild> petru, well what's the file/directory you want to delete?
[09:11] <TeePOG> Crozar: if you don't have that box, XP.
[09:11] <Jordan_U> IhateCLI, :)
[09:11] <IhateCLI> ANyway, Battlestar galactica's on, so I'll be back in an hour with results.
[09:11] <curious101> what does the -f switch in apg-get mean?
[09:11] <r0bby> !java > d2dchat
[09:11] <Crozar> TeePOG: im on 256 ram 32mb card p4 laptop 2ghz toshiba s801 satelite
[09:11] <petru> mastershreck, thanks
[09:11] <KurtKraut> I've just checked here. I have flash installed in Firefox but Opera does not detects it.
[09:11] <PriceChild> curious101, erm... basically fixes anything that's broken
[09:11] <petru> princechild, its a rar archive
[09:11] <PriceChild> !tab | petru
[09:11] <ubotu> petru: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[09:11] <TeePOG> Crozar: don't even think about virtualisation will less than 1GB of RAM. I mean it
[09:11] <curious101> ah...
[09:11] <BrightEyes`> how can i configure my internet dhcp ethernet connection via command line?
[09:11] <Jordan_U> curious101, Fix missing dependencies
[09:12] <PriceChild> petru, its pricechild, no 'n'
[09:12] <Crozar> can the toshiba recovery winxp home edition replace files for virtual box?
[09:12] <PriceChild> petru, and where is it located?
[09:12] <Nekralixir> BrightEyes', what do you want to config?
[09:12] <Xero> Crozar, probably not.
[09:12] <Crozar> because i love ubuntu , i want to virtualize just because to show my friend Linux hold PoWeR
[09:12] <Jordan_U> Crozar, I would assume not
[09:12] <Nekralixir> BrightEyes', most configuration is done in config files
[09:12] <petru> pricechild, /home/petru is the location
[09:12] <curious101> the power is in the shell. not the desktop
[09:12] <PriceChild> petru, "ls /home/petru" and check its listed there...
[09:12] <MasterShrek> Crozar, probably not, i dont konw how virtual box works, but the hardware it thinks it is running is not the actual hardware of the machine
[09:13] <Crozar> then cant virtualizE? even with win 98?
[09:13] <PriceChild> petru, then "cd ~"
[09:13] <PriceChild> petru, then "sudo rm nameofarchive.rar"
[09:13] <Nekralixir> BrightEyes', if you need something like ipconfig, try ifconfig
[09:13] <Crozar> they told me vmware is memory hog , with virtualbox less memory
[09:13] <Jordan_U> Crozar, You probably need a stock win install CD
[09:13] <Xero> Crozar, you can virtualize, just not your old Windows install. You need a CD
[09:13] <petru> pricechild, u are priceless!
[09:13] <curious101> believe it or not, i'm running vmware on a 1.3 GHz, 512MB 266 machine.
[09:13] <MasterShrek> Crozar, qemu is the way to go
[09:13] <Jordan_U> Crozar, But you should ask in ##windows
[09:13] <Crozar> whats qemu?
[09:13] <curious101> it's way too slow, but I'm a patient guy.
[09:14] <Jordan_U> Crozar, And I also think that there is a way to convert an installed system to a virtual box image, but I don't think it's simple
[09:14] <MasterShrek> Crozar, virtualization, but it runs much smoother than vmware, but i dunno about virtualbox, never used that
[09:14] <Vadi> Can anyone help me get my friend setup with java and flash on an intel 64 bit cpu? Nothing is working.
[09:15] <Jordan_U> Crozar, MasterShrek IIRC virtual box is based off of qemu + kqemu
[09:15] <t-d-s> anyone have advice for a simple to setup ftpd for ubuntu?
[09:15] <Frustrated_Again> I am experiencing slight problems installing Ubuntu...
[09:15] <MasterShrek> ic
[09:15] <Jordan_U> !flash64 | Vadi
[09:15] <Matt189> automatix
[09:15] <ubotu> Vadi: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[09:15] <Red-Sox> Hey
[09:15] <Frustrated_Again> I have operational discs, but my CD drive refuses to read them, even if it itself has burned them -_-'
[09:15] <Vadi> It's an Intel one though.
[09:15] <MasterShrek> Frustrated_Again, u got it burned finally though?
[09:15] <Red-Sox> I need to replace OS X with ubuntu on an intel mac
[09:15] <Vadi> Will it still work?
[09:15] <Crozar> oh dear truely i dont know why i want XP , ubuntu has eveything i need , but because to convert my people from Windows to linux i want to know that u can run windows in it so then i can set up theyr computers with everything , so games will be not a problem and then Linux community rise Microsoft Fall
[09:15] <Red-Sox> Vadi: are you talking about macs too?
[09:15] <fei_> #ubuntu
[09:15] <Vadi> No, it's an inspiron
[09:15] <Red-Sox> Vadi: Okay just wondering.
[09:16] <Jordan_U> Red-Sox, Probably want to keep OSx on a small partition if only for firmware upgrades
[09:16] <Frustrated_Again> The discs I have work on another computer but not on the computer where I want to install :/
[09:16] <Jordan_U> Red-Sox, What model?
[09:16] <cables_malo> besides the fact that Easycam is in french it sais "no module named gnome.ui"
[09:16] <Red-Sox> Jordan_U: It's a mini
[09:17] <waldo> im having problems with super tux =/
[09:17] <waldo> i installed it with synapitc
[09:17] <waldo> i use xubuntu
[09:17] <Crozar> any ideas how to tweak linux , with windows i used to use blackvipers tutorial and get 13processes only working with full power , and rest works only when i need and closes once i close the useings
[09:17] <Frustrated_Again> Is it possible to boot Ubuntu from a USB stick?
[09:17] <kyja> yes
[09:18] <kyja> I had read on some forums of that
[09:18] <Jordan_U> Red-Sox, I think you can pretty much use boot camp to resize ( I would not trust parted with resizing HFS+ yet ) then install from the LiveCD
[09:18] <Frustrated_Again> I have a USB memory large enough and my BIOS seems to support some USB boot options
[09:18] <Jordan_U> Frustrated_Again, Yes
[09:18] <Red-Sox> Jordan_U: Boot camp doesn't exactly work for me
[09:18] <Nekralixir> Frustrated_Again, then try it :-)
[09:18] <Frustrated_Again> How is that actually done?
[09:18] <kyja> I think you can even copy the cd contents to a 1gig stick and your doen
[09:18] <Crozar> Frustrated_Again: when thinking about that , i can see its to do with ur bios if it got that option to let it boot from the stick ;)
[09:18] <petru> pricechild, but what is the command for removing a directiry/
[09:18] <Frustrated_Again> But what do I actually write there? The CD image?
[09:19] <Red-Sox> also, Jordan_U could I use the alternate install?
[09:19] <Jordan_U> Frustrated_Again, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[09:19] <petru> because, i copied as a root a directory
[09:19] <PriceChild> petru, rmdir /path/to/directory
[09:19] <Jordan_U> Red-Sox, Yes
[09:19] <Crozar> maybe some pro commands will let it boot hehe
[09:19] <Jordan_U> Red-Sox, Why does Boot Camp not work for you?
[09:19] <PriceChild> petru, however that only works for empty directories
[09:19] <Red-Sox> Jordan_U: great
[09:19] <cables_malo> who in here knows how to get Easycam to install a webcam?
[09:19] <Red-Sox> Jordan_U: hold on I'm trying again to get the exact error message
[09:19] <Jordan_U> Red-Sox, All you are using from it really is an extention to diskutil
[09:19] <Frustrated_Again> But this is about installing Ubuntu on the USB, right?
[09:19] <kyja> ok there is a project for everything else who wants to start penbuntu
[09:20] <Crozar> igot a problem with cam it doesnt work on kopete but works on my camorama webcam viewer software
[09:20] <petru> pricechild, so i have to remove each file separately?
[09:20] <Frustrated_Again> What I have in mind is replacing the install CD with the USB memory
[09:20] <joakim-> is there a way to completely re-install grub, such as in the way it's done in the install of ubuntu?
[09:20] <Jordan_U> Frustrated_Again, Oh, I thought you wanted to install Ubuntu *from* USB, not too
[09:20] <krammer> Do I need watchdog running in the background?
[09:20] <Red-Sox> Jordan_U: I think it freezes at "pratitioning disk"
[09:20] <PriceChild> petru, something like "sudo rm -rf /path/to/directory/" will remove everything
[09:20] <Jordan_U> Frustrated_Again, And I was thinking pen drive not full USB hard drive with a lot of space
[09:20] <cables_malo> do you have to install some gnome libs to use Easycam?
[09:21] <Frustrated_Again> I meant installing from a USB memory (as a replacement of the CD that refuses to work)
[09:21] <Jordan_U> Red-Sox, Not good, but then again you don't seem to care about your OSx partition anyway
[09:21] <Frustrated_Again> Like, loading the install files to the USB memory and then installing it on the hard drive
[09:21] <Red-Sox> Jordan_U: Not really.
[09:21] <Crozar> igot a problem with my logitech webcam it doesnt work on kopete messenger but works on my camorama webcam viewer software any ideas ?
[09:21] <jnz_> hi
[09:22] <jnz_> how can i upgrade kernel with ubuntu?
[09:22] <Nekralixir> apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:22] <Jordan_U> Red-Sox, I would re-install OSx and just start out with a small partition, make sure to disable all extras like language support and printer support that take up a lot of space so you can have more room for Ubuntu
[09:22] <Frustrated_Again> Jordan_U: So was that what you meant... or what you did not mean? o_O
[09:22] <Frustrated_Again> This is kinda confusing me
[09:22] <Red-Sox> Jordan_U: Couldn't I just un install everything?
[09:22] <Jordan_U> jnz_, To the newest from Kernel.org or the newest in Ubuntu?
[09:23] <Red-Sox> And have a core OS X system without re installing it
[09:23] <waldo> i need help, when i try to run supertux, this what i gets [ xubuntu] 
[09:23] <waldo> [/home/waldo/.supertux2]  is in the search path

[09:23] <Random832> when did X's keyboard behavior change, so that if you hit a modifier in the middle of a repeat it doesn't cut off the repeat?
[09:23] <Red-Sox> Jordan_U: Okay I got the error message
[09:23] <Jordan_U> Red-Sox, Yes, but it would still be on a huge partition :) I am saying it would be faster and easier just to start out with OSx already small and already on it's own partition
[09:23] <Random832> like, i can go aaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAaa holding a and pressing the shift key

[09:23] <petru> pricechild, no luck with that command
[09:24] <Red-Sox> Jordan_U: I kinda lost the disks I think
[09:24] <waldo> no one can help me?
[09:24] <jnz_> Nekralixir: doesn't do it

[09:25] <Jordan_U> Red-Sox, What is the error?
[09:25] <petru> pricechild, the directory is in /home/petru. to become root must type first cd~?
[09:25] <PriceChild> petru, nooooo
[09:25] <PriceChild> petru, and you aren't going to remove /home/petru
[09:25] <jnz_> Nekralixir: 0 update
[09:26] <Frustrated_Again> Jordan_U: Or could it be possible that I install Ubuntu on the USB stick with the other computer that can read the CDs and then install it to the actual system by booting from the USB stick?
[09:26] <Nekralixir> jnz_: then you probably already have the latest version, so you want the most recent one from kernel.org?
[09:26] <MasterShrek> Frustrated_Again, is your bios set up to boot from cd?
[09:26] <Jordan_U> jnz_, Then you are up to date on kernels ( if you have run "sudo apt-get update" recently that is )
[09:27] <jnz_> yes Nekralixir, i need 2.6.21
[09:27] <petru> price child, so , i want to remove folder < books> in /home/petru, which was written asa a root. how to do that? sudo rm -rf /home/petru/books?
[09:27] <Frustrated_Again> MasterShrek: That has been tested about 1337 times. My CD drive simply cannot read the CDs :/
[09:27] <jnz_> yes Jordan_U
[09:27] <Frustrated_Again> I've tried reading the CD from Windows and booting from it
[09:27] <MasterShrek> 1337 lol
[09:28] <Jordan_U> Frustrated_Again, Yes, that is why I gave you the link to the installing on a pen drive, it's easier than installing full Ubuntu on a USB drive and will have the Installer with it since it is basically just a dump of the LiveCD to a pen drive ( or any other USB drive )
[09:28] <Dr_willis> ive had some very freaky cds/cd drives in the past. :(
[09:28] <Jordan_U> jnz_, Why do you need 2.6.21?
[09:28] <Nekralixir> !kernel | jnz_
[09:28] <ubotu> jnz_: 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
[09:28] <theshadow> How do I get is so Ubuntu server stops asking for the install CD when I install new software?
[09:29] <jnz_> Nekralixir, Jordan_U, i need 2.6.21 that contains driver for suyin webcams
[09:29] <Nekralixir> theshadown, check the sources list
[09:29] <jrib> theshadow: comment the cd-rom line in /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:29] <Jordan_U> theshadow, Remove the CD from your sources.list
[09:29] <Frustrated_Again> Jordan_U: But that guide appears to be involving some 1337 h4xor L1nux stuff. I have only Windows computers in my house right now.
[09:29] <erUSUL> theshadow: comment out the cd in the /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:29] <Nekralixir> theshadown, its in /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:29] <theshadow> lol thanks
[09:29] <petru> pricechild, so , i want to remove folder < books> in /home/petru, which was written asa a root. how to do that? sudo rm -rf /home/petru/books?
[09:29] <Jordan_U> Frustrated_Again, There are windows instructions on the same page
[09:29] <curious101> this is a good source jnz_: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu
[09:29] <Frustrated_Again> Oh, indeed. Didn't note that right away
[09:29] <PriceChild> petru, that should do it... just be careful :/
[09:30] <erUSUL> petru: yes
[09:30] <i-hate-wireless> why use sudo if its in ~ ?
[09:30] <petru> pricechild, but is not working!!!!!!!!!
[09:30] <Jordan_U> Frustrated_Again, Last time I tried ( admittedly a few years ago ) it takes "1337 h4xor" stuff to install to a USB drive normally also
[09:30] <erUSUL> i-hate-wireless: quoting " which was written asa a root"
[09:30] <PriceChild> petru, can't help you sorry
[09:30] <MasterShrek> jnz_, you could try upgradeing to gutsy but its still in development for about another month or so
[09:30] <Nekralixir> petru, what's the error message
[09:30] <i-hate-wireless> eee. i forgot about my awesome nick. which brings me back to ... oooooh, i hate wireless.

[09:34] <petru> nekralixir, in terminal i got no error message. in computer folder is "access denied"
[09:34] <MasterShrek> i-hate-wireless, are those drivers built into the kernel? if so then i would probably say yes

[09:34] <nathan600> i hate wireless: hi. i feel like whinging about wireless too
[09:34] <Nekralixir> petru, try chowning it to you

[09:35] <i-hate-wireless> MasterShrek: i dunno. feisty comes with the rt2500 or whatever so i'm assuming it's built in to the kernel

[09:37] <MatBoy> should a cardreader automount a sdcard automaticly on xubuntu ? or do I need to install something extra ?

[09:46] <Jordan_U> nathan600, I am not sure if what you are trying to do is the right way to go about it ( don't know anything about wpasupplicant ) but to write that to that file you want " wpa_passphrase [my ssid]  [my password]  sudo tee /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
[09:46] <Dr_willis> sgtmattbaker,  why dont you speak about somthing Linux related.  I wont go into a rant about all the things MS has done to halo, over the years here.
[09:46] <jo_> sgtmattbaker: what is HALO?
[09:47] <daedalus_> KurtKraut: it appears to be jc-aircrack

[09:50] <sgtmattbaker> I am done
[09:50] <daedalus_> KurtKraut: i dont know, how can i see that?
[09:50] <Dr_willis> flokuehn_,  i belive the !apt factoid lead to the apt-docs that cover that topic of pinning.
[09:50] <magnetron> !botabuse > jo_
[09:50] <KurtKraut> daedalus_: check in Synaptics
[09:50] <sgtmattbaker> when does Gutsy come out
[09:50] <daedalus_> KurtKraut: ok, let me see
[09:50] <Dr_willis> !release
[09:50] <ubotu> 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
[09:50] <magnetron> sgtmattbaker: oct 18
[09:50] <sgtmattbaker> cool
[09:50] <jo_> I DID BOTABUSE
[09:50] <nortcele> hello, i have a question about drivers
[09:50] <jo_> UHUUU
[09:50] <curious101> ah the LTS is 5 years. okay.
[09:50] <sgtmattbaker> what is new in it?
[09:50] <flokuehn_> Dr_willis: yes, but both the ubuntu and the medibuntu repos are named feisty
[09:50] <PriceChild> !gutsy | sgtmattbaker
[09:50] <ubotu> sgtmattbaker: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[09:50] <flokuehn_> Dr_willis: which makes standard pinning not an option
[09:51] <jo_> !crime | magnetron
[09:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about crime - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:51] <KurtKraut> daedalus_: I told you the wronk name... it is build-essential, with no plural.
[09:51] <jrib> jo_: stop
[09:51] <KurtKraut> daedalus_: I told you the wrong name... it is build-essential, with no plural.
[09:51] <nortcele> im trying to install my NVidia drivers, and the installer (terminal) says X Server is running. How can i kill this process temporarily so i can install my display drivers
[09:51] <_emet_> !botabuse | jo_
[09:51] <ubotu> jo_: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[09:51] <daedalus_> KurtKraut: ok, i'll look for it with that name
[09:51] <jo_>  question: twinview puts my desktop-icons and dock-application between the two screens. my second monitor is a tv. i want my desktop to remain unchanged on primary screen. anybody has solution???
[09:51] <kitche> nortcele, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[09:51] <Dr_willis> nortcele,  how are you installing them? you normally ise the package managers.. not the nvidia install script
[09:52] <kitche> nortcele, you have a 8xxx series card?
[09:52] <rustalot> how do I upgrade edgy to feisty from the command line? I tried apt-get dist-upgrade, but it didn't work...
[09:52] <jrib> !upgrade > rustalot (read the private message from ubotu)
[09:52] <daedalus_> KurtKraut: yes, i have it, but i dont have devscripts, dh-buildinfo ans sbuild installed... but build-essential is there
[09:52] <tmorton> Which package contains gtk header files?
[09:52] <nortcele> my driver is a geforce go 7600, didnt find it in Synaptics
[09:52] <kitche> tmorton, which gtk?
[09:52] <bruenig> rustalot, you have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and point it towards the fawn repos
[09:52] <KurtKraut> daedalus_: and what about libpcap-dev ?
[09:52] <tmorton> kitche, gtk2...?
[09:52] <kitche> nortcele, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[09:52] <nortcele> i downloaded the drivers directly from nvidia
[09:52] <jrib> tmorton: apt-cache search -n libgtk dev
[09:52] <bruenig> nortcele, the exact same drivers are available from the package manager
[09:53] <tmorton> ah, thanks jrib
[09:53] <daedalus_> KurtKraut: no i don't have that one installed, i suppose i should install it, right?
[09:53] <nortcele> ah...
[09:53] <sgtmattbaker> sorry.
[09:54] <rustalot> bruenig: i.e open it in vim and do %s/edgy/feisty/g ?
[09:54] <KurtKraut> daedalus_: yes.... are you sure jc-aircrack is compatible with Linux ?
[09:54] <bruenig> rustalot, open it in vim? nah sed 's/edgy/feisty/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:54] <daedalus_> KurtKraut: yes, it is, it was designed in inux for linux
[09:54] <jrib> rustalot: dist-upgrade is not recommended, use the method on the wiki to reduce the chances of breakage...
[09:54] <KurtKraut> daedalus_: no, it was design to Mac OSX
[09:54] <bruenig> he may not have gui
[09:54] <daedalus_> KurtKraut: really???
[09:55] <_emet_> sudo sed s/feisty/gutsy < /etc/apt/sources.lst
[09:55] <jrib> bruenig: there are server instructions as well for those cases
[09:55] <daedalus_> KurtKraut: i saw it working on  a linux box running 2.6.20 kernel....
[09:55] <deebo> any mdadm ninjas? my raid5 wont come up at boot and only comes up with mdadm --update summaries, not with mdadm -A
[09:55] <rustalot> bruenig: see, the thing is that I already did that, and whan I tried to do apt-get update it didn't work
[09:56] <main2> how do i start the subversion server? :|
[09:56] <laptap16> hello
[09:56] <bruenig> !upgrade | rustalot jrib says to do this
[09:56] <ubotu> rustalot jrib says to do this: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[09:56] <main2> i installed it, expected it to be running right away ...
[09:56] <KurtKraut> daedalus_: aircrack is for Linux, it is easy to install im ubuntu. But what I found in Google that jc-aircrack was designed for Mac OS X: http://www.802.11mercenary.net/jc-aircrack/
[09:57] <Marshal1> When I login, my password works.  When I try to unlock my desktop from the screensaver, I can't unlock it.  Says my pass is wrong
[09:57] <IowaDave> Is it necessary to reinstall video card drivers after Ubuntu updates the kernel?
[09:57] <laptap16> sorry can someone help me get my wireless card working?
[09:57] <nathan600> does anybody know the driver to use with wpa_supplicant. i tried wext but it failed. the interface is wlan0
[09:57] <KurtKraut> daedalus_: and here too: http://www.megite.com/discover/aircrack - it says ' [Discover]  jc-aircrack http://www.802.11mercenary.net/jc-aircrack/  (mac osx wifi)'
[09:58] <magnetron> daedalus_: i use aircrack-ng in ubuntu, it works great and is easy to install

[09:58] <magnetron> ino: apt-get source smb-client
[09:59] <IowaDave> KurtKraut: Thanks. I read on an NVIDIA support site that it was necessary, and my video has been acting up since the last kernel update. Must be something else, though.
[09:59] <bullgard4> In order to better understand the structure of contemporary websites I downloaded http://fosswire.com/2007/09/08/fix-a-frozen-system-with-the-magic-sysrq-keys/ using File > Save As. It produced a directory with 26 objects, 4 of them more directories. What is the name of the file that contains the main text?
[09:59] <neothecat> good afternoon.  i am getting an error while doing "aptitude install openssh-server".  i get invoke-rc.d errors. this is in feisty.  is there a way to get more information on whats causing this error?  ican't find any logs.

[10:01] <Baptiste> hi
[10:01] <magnetron> hello Baptiste
[10:01] <Baptiste> I would pass my screen to 8bpp just for a few minutes
[10:02] <Baptiste> can I do it without modifying xorg.conf and restarting X ?
[10:02] <Dr_willis> Baptiste,  not sure if thats doable.. at least never seen it done.
[10:02] <Baptiste> because it is a bit painful to close all my apps :-(
[10:02] <Baptiste> shit
[10:02] <Crozar> is kiba-dock a CPU hog?
[10:03] <Dr_willis> Baptiste,  could start a vncserver at that depth t i guess as a testing thing. Why do you need 8bpp?
[10:03] <Marshal1> Anyone think of a reason why account login works, but screensaver unlocking doesn't?
[10:03] <magnetron> Marshal1: check your caps lock mode
[10:03] <Baptiste> for a software that makes my monitor emit AM waves
[10:04] <Marshal1> magnetron: The caps lock isn't on
[10:04] <Dr_willis> Baptiste,  heh heh - ive seen that.. err.. you do have a CRT? i dont think it works with a LCD.
[10:04] <Baptiste> sure I have, and it works. I need 8bpp to optimize the thing
[10:04] <Baptiste> hehe
[10:05] <Crozar> guys tell me does kiba-dock slow down system? for a 256 ram and 32mb gfx?
[10:05] <rohan> _emet_: hi
[10:06] <Crozar> !kiba-dock
[10:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba-dock - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:06] <andruk> anybody know of any openoffice themes that make it look like m$ office?
[10:06] <Crozar> guys how to install kiba-dock?
[10:06] <Dr_willis> !find kiba
[10:06] <fsckr> !gutsy
[10:06] <ubotu> Package/file kiba does not exist in feisty
[10:06] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[10:06] <Dr_willis> Crozar,  if its not in the repos. use the source
[10:07] <Marshal1> magnetron: I have even used passwd to reset the password just to propagate the password around to make sure it didn't scramble anything
[10:07] <Dr_willis> !find kiba gutsy
[10:07] <ubotu> Package/file kiba does not exist in gutsy
[10:07] <Crozar> Dr_willis: does kiba-dock use alot of memory , will it like be unneccessary?
[10:07] <Baptiste> well, I'll try when I restart my computer :-(
[10:07] <magnetron> Dr_willis: it's not packaged
[10:07] <laptap16> could the fact that i have a wep on my router make it so i cant connect wirelessly
[10:07] <_emet_> !info awn
[10:07] <Baptiste> thanks Dr_willis
[10:07] <ubotu> Package awn does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[10:07] <Dr_willis> Crozar,  i imagine that I would consider it Unneccessary anyway. :) i hate fancy os-x docks
[10:07] <Baptiste> cya guys
[10:07] <Inglor> I just installed awn in feisty if you need any help with it
[10:08] <magnetron> laptap16: to connect to a encrypted network you have to supply the wep key
[10:08] <Dr_willis> http://www.kiba-dock.org/
[10:08] <InZaNe> Can anyone help me with grub?
[10:08] <Inglor> InZaNe, what seems to be the problem?

[10:08] <_emet_> what's better, AWN or Kiba-doc ?
[10:08] <InZaNe> How do I change the order of boot options?
[10:09] <magnetron> bug #108959
[10:09] <Inglor> _emet_ both have their advantages, if you're trying to aim for the OSX look I've found AWN better
[10:09] <Crozar> offcourse enable for family friends compiz , only the important features ,      and also last but not least to have Start Down not up lol . and widgets like MAC .
[10:09] <laptap16> threethirty: i have a  Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[10:09] <Dr_willis> Crozar,  check the web site.. I would paste a link to their faq. but their site is so badly done. its making that hard..
[10:09] <Inglor> InZane, you can do it from within the GUI
[10:09] <denmax_sa> hi
[10:09] <B-rabbit> hi guyz, you know when you build a program from source, which file does the "data.tar.gz " goes to?

[10:10] <Dr_willis> Crozar,  i dont see what a total beginner would gain by using it over the normal panel.
[10:10] <threethirty> laptap16: i think you'll need the madwifi driver
[10:10] <denmax_sa> dr_willis... werent u in the kubuntu room as well ?
[10:10] <dudeicles> does anyone here know how to get virtualbox to recognize my backup harddrives which are mounted in Ubuntu
[10:10] <Crozar> Dr_willis: i just like to have this info just because i need to do these things for people , and i dont do it then they will end up all theyr life with windows , and with the love of my heart i just like people who's among us to be finding the right thing not wrong. :)

[10:11] <Jowi> B-rabbit, depends on the program. there is usually a README and/or INSTALL text file in its main directory.
[10:11] <curious101> hey there. Do you know of any site that where I can download .deb packages manually? Like freshmeat.net?
[10:11] <Inglor> InZaNe, this is what I did, but there is a simple GUI way, I'm sure of it
[10:11] <Crozar> im not installing it lol , il test it with my Pentium3 later
[10:11] <magnetron> swhalen: you need to ask your question to make us able to help you

[10:11] <chypoflow> hi all i have a problem whit a config of samba
[10:12] <InZaNe> oh great!  thanks         I think the Gui is only for LILO
[10:12] <Inglor> curious, what packages are you looking for?
[10:12] <curious101> Inglor: the xinetd package, in particular
[10:12] <waldo> I just downloaded a game ( TIBIA ), in a .tgz file, which command i use to install it!??
[10:12] <Dr_willis> Crozar,  the term 'pro window users' seems to mean now a days that you just have memorized where all the  settings/panels are at. :) Linux lets you learn whats really going on with a pc and networking and stuff. Its Much more fun.

[10:12] <Inglor> denmax_sa, is the problem, in connecting the computer to the router or the router to the internet?
[10:13] <curious101> waldo: you have to unpack it. try "tar -xvzf <filename>

[10:13] <Inglor> denmax_sa, sure
[10:13] <laptap16> #threethirty
[10:13] <sistom_> can I resize the taskbar?
[10:13] <Jowi> denmax_sa, first. double check if the ip address, netmask and gateway of your nic correspond to your router setup. second, ping the router - no reply? double check router settings + cable + try different physical port if you don't get a link light.
[10:13] <B-rabbit> bascule: ok, there is also a file called control.tar.gz not sure where that's suppose to go :(
[10:13] <sistom_> so that it is like double width?

[10:18] <Crozar> i have a gamepad i hope it can be installed :/
[10:18] <Yarcanox> I searched for it in aptitude, but wasn't able to find it
[10:18] <nortcele> how to exit X server again?
[10:18] <Yarcanox> (I only found a gcc-mingw-win crosscompiler)
[10:18] <bascule> Yarcanox: all gcc cross compiles
[10:18] <Crozar> Dr_willis: Saitek gamepads can be installed?
[10:18] <Huey> is it possible to setup a chroot environment and install ubuntu on another partition without having to shut the machine down?
[10:18] <Yarcanox> bascule sorry I don't understand that answer o.O
[10:18] <Huey> (i don't have a cd-rom drive or another machine i can use to netboot)
[10:19] <Dr_willis> Crozar,  ive used saitek ps2clone gamepads befor.
[10:19] <Inglor> Huey, yes, it's quite a new option in fact
[10:19] <Crozar> i cant believe such questions come by people ,why have weird questions lo
[10:19] <Yarcanox> bascule how can I tell gcc on a native 32bit system to compile a 64bit executable?
[10:19] <IntuitiveNipple> Yarcanox: gcc command-line options control the target architecture. do "man gcc"
[10:19] <bascule> Yarcanox: if it's gcc it will compile for whatever arch you tell it to, provided it is suported of course
[10:19] <denmax_sa> hey inglor - did  you get my private message ?
[10:19] <Yarcanox> ah ok
[10:19] <Crozar> Dr_willis: installing it whats the driver?
[10:19] <Dr_willis> Crozar,  plug in the game pad. check 'dmesg' out put to see if its seen.. start game.. tell it to use gamepad.
[10:19] <Yarcanox> so it's just a command line parameter... I'll search for it
[10:19] <Inglor> denmax_sa, no I didn't
[10:19] <DarkMoon> Dr_willis:i got ZSNES, how to i start it?
[10:19] <Dr_willis> Crozar,  no need to 'install' anything other then plug it in.
[10:19] <bascule> march=k8 iirc
[10:19] <Crozar> Dr_willis: dont know what 'dmesg' is? whats that plz.
[10:19] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  use 'zsnes' from the command line. :)
[10:19] <Marshal1> I'm able to login to gnome, but when I try to unlock the screensaver it claims my pass is wrong.  The pass is correct, and permissions seem to be fine on /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver
[10:20] <dudeicles> DarkMoon: in the terminal type zsnes
[10:20] <Dr_willis> Crozar,   a command. :) type it and see.
[10:20] <Dr_willis> !dmesg
[10:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dmesg - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:20] <dudeicles> :)
[10:20] <Crozar> thank you.
[10:20] <Dr_willis> a very low level log = dmesg.

[10:21] <denmax_sa> inglor - i am getting ur message. but i am not sure if u are getting my replies
[10:21] <Dr_willis> Crozar,  linux has very very extensive logging features.
[10:21] <sistom_> is there a gui version of adduser?
[10:21] <Crozar> Dr_willis: good thing i found a refresher, and if it didnt detect i do what?
[10:21] <curious101> hey, can I get the .deb packages that apt-get install has downloaded? where are they located?
[10:21] <Inglor> denmax_sa, I am not getting your replies
[10:21] <Inglor> sistom_ of course
[10:21] <dudeicles> Dr_willis: there aren't many better than zsnes though sir
[10:21] <DarkMoon> Dr_willis:the controller is not responding.
[10:21] <sistom_> called?
[10:21] <Dr_willis> Crozar,  unplyg/plug it in again. it should be seen and  the right modules loaded.
[10:21] <InZaNe> umm, ok, dumb question,     How do I copy files into a directory that says "You do not have enough permission to copy here"  or something like that?
[10:21] <Inglor> sistom, Administration -> Users and Groups
[10:21] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  you did confoigure the game to use it? it was plugged in BEFOR you started the game?
[10:21] <MrPink> where can I find the folder default/chrome/ folder in Mozilla firefox ?
[10:21] <Inglor> InZane, open the fine manager with root permission
[10:21] <Crozar> Dr_willis: i got a logitech cam , i didnt know it can detect so i thought i had to get the drivers i installed Camorama Cam Viewer and it worked
[10:21] <Yarcanox> is an AMD 64bit processor x86-64 or IA-64
[10:21] <sistom_> ahhh

[10:22] <InZaNe> lol, duh, thanks
[10:22] <Inglor> InZaNe, alt+f2 , type in sudo nautilus
[10:22] <dudeicles> InZaNe: you're not allowed, you could log in as root but that's not recommened
[10:22] <DarkMoon> Dr_willis:yeah
[10:22] <Crozar> Dr_willis: but through Kopete messenger the cam doesnt work :/ what do u think is problem i see green lines and black screen
[10:22] <skyfaller> hey folks... I used http://www.edsupport.cc/mguhlin/archives/2007/07/entry_3424.htm to make my left Apple key serve as a Control key, how can I do the same for my right Apple key?
[10:22] <curious101> hey, can I get the .deb packages that apt-get install has downloaded? where are they located?

[10:23] <Random832> ubotu: interesting choice of  punctuation 
[10:23] <Inglor> denmax_sa, is your router connected to the network in a way other PCs running windows connect to the internet without you having to configure "anything"
[10:23] <MrPink> bascule: Thanks!
[10:23] <Dr_willis> Crozar,  i dotn mess with webcams sorry
[10:23] <bascule> np MrPink
[10:23] <denmax_sa> yes. my router has dhcp enabled. however, i did configure with static ip
[10:23] <InZaNe> ok, ill do that , thinks
[10:23] <Crozar> Dr_willis: thanks forth for helping me .
[10:24] <Dr_willis> 
[10:24] <InZaNe> tnxs
[10:24] <furenku> hello!! i am not getting headphones sound out of my dell inspiron 1520!!!
[10:24] <seiflotfy> any1 know in what language pidgin is writte nin
[10:24] <Dr_willis> doh. zsnes dont seem to like my gutsy install.. :) cant test it any more. it just crashes.
[10:24] <blek> How do i kill X Server and just go back to a blank terminal
[10:24] <Random832> seiflotfy: pidgin is gaim, right?
[10:24] <Random832> i tihnk it's written in C
[10:24] <blek> im in 6.06lts dapper
[10:24] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. dmesg did see my XBOX contorller i got in this adaptor.
[10:24] <dudeicles> Dr_willis: When I run zsnes it doesn't run at all
[10:24] <Random832> [with funky gtk/glib object orientated stuff] 
[10:24] <Dr_willis> dudeicles,  what does it do then..
[10:24] <denmax_sa> i have also entered the DNS addresses.
[10:24] <curious101> blek, CTRL+Fn
[10:24] <dudeicles> Dr_willis: nothing
[10:25] <Inglor> denmax_sa,  open a terminal window and run ifconfig
[10:25] <dudeicles> lol
[10:25] <astro76> blek, ctrl+alt+F1 through F6 for the virtual consoles, then you can "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop" to shut down X
[10:25] <InZaNe> YAY, more dumb questions, Where can I get a ubuntu compat pidgin?
[10:25] <curious101> where n = 1 to 6
[10:25] <Dr_willis> dudeicles,   clarify a bit.. no return message? no windows popup ect...?
[10:25] <dudeicles> no messages or anything
[10:25] <dudeicles> holld on let me check
[10:25] <Inglor> denmax_sa, what connections does it show?
[10:25] <curious101> can I get the .deb packages that apt-get install has downloaded? where are they located?
[10:25] <denmax_sa> alright. i am on windows now, i will go to the ubuntu OS and try that
[10:25] <astro76> curious101, /var/cache/apt/archives/
[10:25] <realistik> how come when I added a new user as unpriviledged he can still view other user's home dir's?
[10:25] <dudeicles> Could not set 1024x768-GL video mode.
[10:25] <Dr_willis> realistik,  because thieir home dirs settings allows it.
[10:26] <dudeicles> though that's what i'm using
[10:26] <curious101> astro76: thanks, i'll check that out.
[10:26] <Dr_willis> dudeicles,  so its running but not all modes work. try another mode i guess.
[10:26] <Dr_willis> dudeicles,  i cant even get it to run. :)  i think its a compwiz issue here.
[10:26] <dudeicles> weird that mode wouldn't work
[10:26] <realistik> I mean shouldn't a new user be created and just have privs to their own /home/  dir?
[10:26] <selinuxium> hi all, occasionally i lose sound in flash 9 is there an easy way of getting it back without restarting the box?
[10:26] <realistik> 
[10:26] <dudeicles> it worked when I first installed it
[10:26] <bascule> seiflotfy: pidgin is c/c++
[10:26] <Inglor> realistik, yes
[10:26] <Dr_willis> realistik,  they have full perms there.. and read only for the rest.
[10:26] <dudeicles> maybe compiz did it
[10:26] <dudeicles> dang them!
[10:26] <D4N`> hey
[10:27] <dudeicles> how do I fulluninstall compiz?
[10:27] <Dr_willis> dudeicles,  yep. compwiz can be an issue.
[10:27] <bjwebb> hmm, what package do i want for java plugin?
[10:27] <D4N`> ?
[10:27] <Dr_willis> dudeicles,  no idea on how to remove it. :)
[10:27] <realistik> I don't want other users to be able to read what I have in my home dir
[10:27] <dudeicles> well then i'll google it
[10:27] <realistik> how do I fix that without have to chmod every home dir
[10:27] <Dr_willis> realistik,  then check out the chmod command i guess. :)
[10:27] <dudeicles> bbiab
[10:27] <curious101> bjwebb, you can use "apt-cache search java"
[10:27] <Dr_willis> you just chmode the initial /home/whatever dir
[10:27] <Inglor> dudeicles, ubuntu comes with compiz installed, what graphics card do you have, and what version of ubuntu
[10:27] <astro76> realistik, because you can change that, just do: chown -R go-rwx /home/<user>/
[10:27] <InZaNe> is there a .deb verion of pidgin?
[10:27] <Dr_willis> !pidgin
[10:27] <ubotu> 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. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0
[10:27] <Inglor> InZaNe, yes, why?
[10:28] <bjwebb> curious101: hmm is it in multiverse?
[10:28] <realistik> I mean I can't make it a default that a new user only has priv to read his own homefolder?
[10:28] <InZaNe> I cant find it.
[10:28] <curious101> bjwebb, do it in the terminal
[10:28] <Inglor> InZaNe, why are you looking for it?
[10:28] <Dr_willis> realistik,  proberly can. some where. :)  cant say that ive seen many peole worry about it.
[10:28] <dudeicles> Inglor: I have an nvidia card
[10:28] <Inglor> realistik, you can just chmod it so only the owner can read the data
[10:28] <InZaNe> .deb version of Pidgin
[10:28] <dudeicles> Inglor: 5200 FX, I installed the nvidia software for it too
[10:28] <Dr_willis> realistik,  its not locking down the user.. its making the OTHER users dirs properly secured.
[10:28] <Inglor> realistik, or chmod the whole home folder
[10:28] <bascule> realistik: set the login shell to rbash
[10:29] <jynx> hi, ive just enabled xgl on ubuntu fiesty and dont have any window decorations. What command can i use?
[10:29] <realistik> rbash will fix it?
[10:29] <Inglor> dudeicles, check if you have the nvidia graphics driver properly installed
[10:29] <InZaNe> I want it on my ubuntu
[10:29] <Dr_willis> realistik,  there are extreme methods to lock down users. rbash = restricted bash.
[10:29] <dudeicles> how?
[10:29] <bascule> realistik: that locks things out a bit
[10:29] <kitche> jynx, install a window decorator sicne XGL is a server like X.org
[10:29] <curious101> astro76: whoa! I saw a plethora of packages I downloaded in /var/cache/apt/archives.
[10:29] <Dr_willis> rbash locks things down so much - the system may not be useable by that user for their needs.
[10:29] <InZaNe> or should I install from source
[10:29] <Inglor> InZaNe, just run the update manager, it should automatically change GAIM to pidgin, although there is really no difference
[10:30] <realistik> testing@pwnt:/etc$ cd /home/testing
[10:30] <realistik> rbash: cd: restricted
[10:30] <jynx> Kitch: how do i install a window decorator. im new to gnome
[10:30] <bascule> thata locked :)
[10:30] <InZaNe> hmm, didnt do that the first time, but ok
[10:30] <realistik> yea but the cd command is locked
[10:30] <realistik> lolz
[10:30] <Inglor> InZaNe, if you INSIST on getting it in particular you can always run "sudo apt-get install pidgin" which should work
[10:30] <InZaNe> l8er
[10:30] <Dr_willis> realistik,  thats what rbash is all about.
[10:30] <Dr_willis> realistik,  man rbash
[10:30] <bjwebb> curious101: i don't want to install from multiverse
[10:30] <kitche> jynx: install one emerald or anything else if your using compiz or beryl or compiz-fusion
[10:30] <Inglor> jynx, what do you mean by install a window decorator? like merald?
[10:31] <Inglor> *elerald
[10:31] <jynx> im not sure, ive just enabled xgl and have no decorations
[10:31] <Inglor> *emerald -_-
[10:31] <Inglor> jynx, what your'e looking for is a compositing manager, like beryl, compiz, or compiz fusion
[10:31] <curious101> bjwebb, what do you mean? you want to install it from the package you got from the official site?
[10:31] <dudeicles> Inglor: how do I check my card?
[10:31] <dudeicles> nvm
[10:31] <jynx> ok ill try and install compiz fusion, looks sweet
[10:31] <dudeicles> how do I tell if my driver is installed correctly
[10:31] <realistik> ok if I wanted each user to only be able to read his own home dir then I should chmod ??? /home
[10:31] <realistik> chmod what.
[10:32] <bjwebb> curious101: well i thought java was open source now, so why's it in multiverse
[10:32] <astro76> realistik, chown -R go-rwx /home/<user>/
[10:32] <bascule> realistik: no you have to remove the rest f the / folders read perms
[10:32] <Inglor> realistik, you can do it in the gui if it's confusing for you
[10:32] <seiflotfy> Random832: yes
[10:32] <realistik> ok
[10:32] <astro76> realistik, but to do what you want to do, you have to do that to all users
[10:32] <bascule> bascule: chmod 750 /* <- dangerous and run at own risk
[10:33] <Veinor> don't run chmod 750 /*
[10:33] <curious101> bjwebb: the java plugin, that is. it's in multiverse just like flash player.
[10:33] <Dr_willis> The users NEED permission for some directorys outside of their home. :)  you just need to lock down the other users dirs. to kepe them from each other.
[10:33] <bascule> no I wouldn't do it either ;)
[10:33] <Dr_willis> of coruse the user could still change it back
[10:33] <DarkMoon> does ubuntu support gravis eliminator usb gamepas?
[10:33] <bjwebb> curious101: hmm, i want to avoid propeitary stuff
[10:33] <PriceChild> bascule, please don't suggest that :)
[10:33] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  plug it in - check dmesg output. Try some simple game with joystick support
[10:34] <Inglor> realistik, wouldn't you rather let users choose what to share and what not to share? I'm pretty sure they can currently do that
[10:34] <bascule> PriceChild: I wss joking really, I know it would be naty
[10:34] <realistik> how do I run a gui as root if I can't sudo it
[10:34] <dudeicles> Inglor: how do I tell if my driver is installed correctly
[10:34] <PriceChild> bascule, please don't joke about
[10:34] <pookey> Hi all - does ubuntu have some kinda X configurator, or should I just be editing my own X config? I have a tri-head setup, and currently only 1 works ;)  I have a working x config from my old gentoo setup I can copy ifI need to, I'm just curious...
[10:34] <curious101> bjwebb: okay. but how would you be able to run and read files that pertain to java?
[10:34] <Inglor> realistik, gksudo apperantly :)
[10:34] <astro76> DarkMoon, I'd imagine, pretty much all USB devices will be supported, since they follow the HID standard
[10:34] <bascule> ok sorry, I marked it as dangerous though ;)
[10:34] <bascule> PriceChild: ^
[10:34] <tretle> let me guess
[10:34] <PriceChild> bascule, please don't write it... period,
[10:34] <bjwebb> curious101: i dunno, but like i say why is java dev kit open source, but plugin isn't?
[10:35] <ForMatter> I have usb bluetooth,how to make my ubuntu detect it and use it correctly?
[10:35] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  if its seen the    ls -l /dev/input/    command should show some js devices. set the game to use one of them
[10:35] <Stoffer> How do I change my gnome keyring password?
[10:35] <USMarine> Stoffer passwd
[10:35] <ForMatter> I have usb bluetooth,how to make my ubuntu detect it and use it correctly?
[10:36] <Stoffer> USMarine, that only changed the password for me logging in.  The keyring password didn't change.
[10:36] <astro76> Stoffer, you need to delete ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring
[10:36] <Stoffer> astro76, then restart gnome?
[10:36] <ForMatter> Astro:I have usb bluetooth,how to make my ubuntu detect it and use it correctly?
[10:36] <curious101> bjwebb: I don't know. Maybe Sun wants a centralized, working plugin. Otherwise, users would get confused as to what plugin to use.
[10:36] <astro76> Stoffer, shouldn't be necessary I don't think
[10:36] <bjwebb> curious101: i dunno
[10:37] <DarkMoon> Dr_willis:i type this ls -l /dev/input/ then what?
[10:37] <runge>  hi. does anybody remmeber the webpage with possible new ubuntu names for comming releases?
[10:37] <bjwebb> curious101: thanks anyway
[10:37] <Dr_willis> for testing of the jousticks try installing ----------->  sudo apt-get install joystick jscalibrator
[10:37] <Stoffer> astro76, ok, thanks
[10:37] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  you SEE some /dev/input/js0 type devices? if so then the stick is seen
[10:37] <astro76> Stoffer, are you setting up libpam-keyring ?
[10:37] <kitche> bjwebb, the plugin is actually part of the runtime environment
[10:37] <bascule> realistik: set 770 on each home folder but leave sys folders, they need to be readable for all applications to run at all
[10:37] <ForMatter> Everyone,help me..I have usb bluetooth,but how to make my ubuntu detect it and use it correctly?
[10:37] <curious101> bjwebb: because if there are many versions of the java plugin, people would get confused. Like if there are different flash players...
[10:37] <mykhul> firefox is slow when i browse myspace profiles that are huge.. what can i do?
[10:38] <bjwebb> curious101: lol, i use gnash
[10:38] <USMarine> mykhul google speed firefox
[10:38] <curious101> bjwebb: is gnash a java plugin? I didn't know that.
[10:38] <magnetron> mykhul: try a different browser, like epiphany-browser
[10:38] <dudeicles> mykhul: Stay away from myspace? LOL
[10:38] <DarkMoon> Dr_willis:i have tso
[10:38] <bjwebb> curious101: nah im refering to your comment bout flash
[10:38] <DarkMoon> ts0
[10:39] <curious101> bjwebb: oh I see. I use the official flash plugin.
[10:39] <daedalus_> kurtKraut: sorry man, i was reading those websites.... indeed, that was designed for macox
[10:39] <ForMatter> Bjwebb:how to make my usb bluetooth working?
[10:39] <astro76> !bluetooth | ForMatter
[10:39] <daedalus_> kurtkraut: but, how can you run in linux a program that is designed for macos? is that possible.
[10:39] <ubotu> ForMatter: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[10:40] <realistik> bascule: can I set /home to 770?
[10:40] <DarkMoon> Dr_willis:i have a "ts0".
[10:40] <realistik> and that would solve it?
[10:40] <bascule> realistik: yes
[10:40] <astro76> realistik, please use the command I gave you
[10:40] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  i got a js0
[10:40] <Veinor> realistik: 770 is probably a bad idea
[10:40] <astro76> realistik, chown -R go-rwx /home/<user>/
[10:40] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  no idwea what a ts0 may be.
[10:40] <bascule> realistik: it means the owner of that folder can read and write but not others, there is a groups issue too,if all users belong to the same group it makes it still readable
[10:40] <Veinor> realistik: use chmod -R go-rwx /home/<user>/, not chmod -R 770 /home/<user>/
[10:41] <Veinor> if you set it to 770 then everything becomes executable, which can be bad.
[10:41] <DarkMoon> Dr_willis:i have no input named js0.
[10:41] <bascule> Veinor: dirs have to be executable
[10:41] <Veinor> yes, but not the individual files within them.
[10:41] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  looks like its not seen the gamepad then. check dmesg, unplug/plug it back in. check again
[10:41] <Veinor> like my documents don't have to be executable :P
[10:41] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  may have to google for the spefific gamepad ya got and see if you need to makually load a module for it.
[10:41] <curious101> 4 = read; 2 = write; 1 = execute....... 4+2+1 = read, write, execute.
[10:42] <bascule> Veinor: I wasn't saying chmod -R just chmod the top /home/* folders

[10:42] <bascule> realistik: Veinor but if all users are part of user group that won't work
[10:43] <curious101> furenku, maybe your sound card isn't recognized in the first place.
[10:43] <tarelerulz> I have gxine player and it plays an dvd ,but I can't hear any sound.  I think the on board sound works ,but my friend may not look it up so I want to use my usb sound card how would I do that ? by the way mplayer and totem use my usb soundcard  ,but not gxine
[10:43] <karel> Can someone please give me a hand getting hibernate to work? Problem is probably related to the swap file.
[10:43] <Veinor> bascule: all i'm saying is that you don't recursively chmod 770; go-rwx works fine.
[10:43] <furenku> curious: this is the issue, alsa has no drivers for this specific model; do you think this can't be fixed?

[10:44] <stefg> karel: do you have a swap *partition* that is bigger than your ram ?
[10:44] <Jack_Sparrow> realistik: As long as you understand that isnt a firewall, just an iptable manager

[10:45] <karel> stefg: yes, please take a look at here: http://karel.awardspace.com/FPD/?path=/Rest, although it says swap TOO small, I think it is related to not seeing the swap or so

[10:46] <astro76> MrPink, any user who is not in the admin group can't sudo, hence can't affect anything outside their user directory
[10:46] <astro76> bobgill, just use putty or other windows ssh client to connect
[10:46] <devilsreject> im just trying to figure out how to make a burnable iso file out of a downloaded stream file which from what i understand the only prgram to do this in ubuntu is streamripper
[10:46] <devilsreject> right??
[10:46] <Balaams_Miracle> I have some persistent errors in some inodes on my harddisk, is there a way i can find out which files use these inodes?
[10:46] <MrPink> astro76 so is it possible to create a user "guest" with either no password or password "guest" that can login to my system in the Login Screen ?
[10:46] <USMarine> devilsreject k3b ?
[10:46] <bascule> devilsreject: do you have the file on your local hdd? what format is it?
[10:47] <stefg> karel: i can't fully see what's going on, but my impression is that the kernel looks for the wrong partition to et iss hibernation file
[10:47] <astro76> MrPink, I'd probably at least pick a password and write it down if you must
[10:47] <karel> stefg: I believe that's exactly what's going on
[10:48] <boubbin> im going to install my system again and use own partiotions for "everything" (/proc /var /etc /dev) etc.. how big the partiotions should be, is there a tuto for this or something ?
[10:48] <bobgill> astro76: ok I am using Putty on my networked XP machine... it's in, and I am in the terminal... but how would I transfer files from the Feisty over to XP machine using SSH? is that possible?
[10:48] <devilsreject> bascule and usmarine -- i am trying to learn to save a video file from online streaming...after reading online it said i could use streamripper in ubuntu and that it will save the video file as some kind of realtime audio file but will still hold the video contents.. my question is if i can convert this file to an iso with DeVeDe and burn it so i can watch it on my dvd player before i go through all the trouble of conv
[10:48] <devilsreject> erting the file and all
[10:48] <astro76> bobgill, use winscp
[10:48] <bascule> bobgill: /proc on it's own partition is needless
[10:48] <Flannel> bobgill: you can't use a separate partition for /etc, but why do you want to split it up so finely?
[10:49] <MrPink> astro76 well its basically that I want a possible user for anybody that sits at my computer... and if possible no passwd at all
[10:49] <MaximLevitsky> I am running ubuntu in VM, and I access host (Linux kubuntu) via SMB. I open few wav  files on host and try to convert then with this program, I set up SoundConverter to write to home directory, and I do have write access to host via SMB, but still it complains about beeing unable to _write_ to host smb directory.
[10:49] <boubbin> Flannel bascule well everything else tyhat can be put to partitions.
[10:49] <Dr_willis> winscp is a must have tool for linux <-> windows friendlyness. :) and putty and xming.
[10:49] <Man_id_Unknown> I have a dll (made with gcc) question. For anyone with gcc experience.
[10:49] <MaximLevitsky> What to do?
[10:49] <Flannel> boubbin: Why are you interested in that?
[10:49] <stefg> karel: there's some boot parameters to define what partition holds the hibernation file... it's just that i can't remember, because it works too well here
[10:49] <Veinor> MrPink: it's possible to create a user "guest"

[10:49] <karel> stefg: The UUID reference in /etc/fstab was wrong, fixed it and it seems to be fixed still, but it changed again some time ago
[10:50] <boubbin> Flannel well i just think its beter that way. and i can use some opf the dirs with other distros too..
[10:50] <Man_id_Unknown> I have a dll (made with gcc) question. For anyone with gcc experience.

[10:50] <mirak> I want sound juicer to extract ogg quality 7, how do I do that ? I can't find documentation on the setting
[10:50] <astro76> bobgill, the most separation you would possibly ever want is /, /boot, /usr, /usr/local, /opt, /tmp, /var, /home ... but never /etc, /bin, or /sbin
[10:50] <Veinor> MrPink: though you have to give it a password; it won't let you not have one.
[10:50] <MrPink> Veinor without a password ? And how do I do that?
[10:50] <boubbin> astro76 my name is boubbin not bobgill  :)
[10:50] <Man_id_Unknown> A program of mine can't find a shared library in the same directory.
[10:50] <MrPink> Veinor and it has to be a password with 6 characters ?
[10:50] <MrPink> so I can't chose "guest" "guest"
[10:50] <devilsreject> k tanx
[10:51] <boubbin> astro76 ok so how about the sizes ?
[10:51] <Veinor> MrPink: System->Administration->Users and Groups->Add User
[10:51] <stefg> karel: maybe this helps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=471855&highlight=suspend
[10:51] <curious101> MaximLevitsky: same issue here. I'm still triying to find out the answer.
[10:51] <Veinor> then fill in the username and password fields; pick a 6-character password.
[10:51] <Veinor> once you're done, open up a terminal and type 'sudo passwd guest' (replace guest with the username you made)
[10:51] <astro76> boubbin, http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/disk-partitioning.html
[10:52] <boubbin> thanks
[10:52] <minimec> MrPink: You can by adding a user on a console with 'sudo adduser guest'
[10:52] <Veinor> or do that.

[10:52] <astro76> boubbin, I generally just do /home /tmp and /var
[10:52] <MrPink> minimec and that can be a user without a password or with a password shorter then 6 chars ?
[10:52] <Man_id_Unknown> Help: A program of mine can't find a shared library in the same directory.
[10:53] <Veinor> mrpink: it has to have a password, but it can be just one letter
[10:53] <kitche> Man_id_Unknown, you have to put the hared library wherer the system can see it
[10:53] <MrPink> aha yes I can... thanks alot Veinor and Minimec it worked
[10:53] <minimec> MrPink: You will have to fill out some kind of text wizard, where you can choose the password.
[10:53] <Man_id_Unknown> kitche: How so, Sir?
[10:53] <bascule> minimec: gconf-editor
[10:53] <boubbin> astro76 so what is the benefit in creating those ?
[10:53] <kitche> Man_id_Unknown, or use LD_LIBRARY_PRELOAD= to load the library first I believe that is the variable
[10:53] <MrPink> how can I change the user in the terminal ?
[10:54] <magnetron> Man_id_Unknown: put the lib in /usr/local/lib
[10:54] <minimec> MrPink: shorter than 6 letters ...
[10:54] <bascule> mimec /system/gstreamer-0.19/audio/profiles/cdlossy
[10:54] <Man_id_Unknown> magnetron: Do I need root permission?
[10:54] <bascule> gstreamer-0.10
[10:54] <karel> stefg: apt-get can't resolve the host to download it, but apart from that, how do I check what my swap partition SHOULD be?
[10:54] <MrPink> minimec yeah thanks I created a Guest user now... is there a way to change the user in the terminal, to test it ?
[10:54] <boubbin> astro76 actually im only interested why to make /var separate partition ?
[10:54] <stefg> !uuid | karel

[10:54] <bobgill> I have a home network on a router, so IPs are of course 192.168.x.x, what can I do to make a static IP on each networked computer (have 2) so I can connect to them from work ??

[10:55] <bascule> minimec: alternatively use grip
[10:55] <astro76> boubbin, /home /tmp and /var are the only directories that are written to generally, except of course when installing software or configuration in /etc

[11:09] <stefg> Jordan_U: swap space is a /shared/ resource on most computers which do run more that one distro .... swap space UUIDs are futile, and the whole idea doesn't work out

[11:09] <Man_id_Unknown> bascule: I rand ldconfig & sudo ldconfig. The dll still isn't found.
[11:10] <NemesisD> does auto wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces mean that the connection starts automatically or does it mean that the interface can be configured automatically (DHCP)
[11:10] <Ashfire908> i just set up my computer toact as a gateway to the internet, but i don't know how to get the other computers to use it.
[11:10] <bascule> Man_id_Unknown: dll? is this a wine thing?
[11:10] <Walkermag> Bah, I'm about to trash Ubuntu.
[11:10] <Walkermag> Isn't worth it.
[11:10] <magnetron> cables_malo, we don't sell hardware... ask a hardware reseller for a web cam that works with ubuntu
[11:10] <ItchyHoBo> what happened Walkermag?
[11:10] <Man_id_Unknown> bascule: Sorry, I mean shared library. I do both win & lin, and get the terms mixed.
[11:11] <magnetron> Walkermag: did you try to google for "ubuntu lvm" ?
[11:11] <cables_malo> is it possible that the patch for spca5xx is old and already in the new source?
[11:11] <Man_id_Unknown> bascule: Any suggestions?
[11:11] <Walkermag> Bah, After reasearching for 2 days straight.
[11:11] <bascule> hmmm, ldocnfig should find and register it, run it -v see if it says anything useful
[11:12] <Man_id_Unknown> Where must a shared library be placed to be detected by any program?
[11:12] <ItchyHoBo> help ppl
[11:12] <Walkermag> Alright well,
[11:12] <Walkermag> I think I found something.

[11:15] <Jordan_U> ItchyHoBo, What happens when you try to run "gnome-session" ?
[11:16] <ItchyHoBo> install ubuntu on windows
[11:16] <Evanlec> ShockSMX, click on places > network
[11:16] <curious101> ShockSMX: try "smbclient //servername/share
[11:16] <ShockSMX> Evanlec: did that, can't locate any computers in the "windows network"
[11:16] <ItchyHoBo> give me 5 secs
[11:16] <ItchyHoBo> need to exit xchat
[11:16] <ShockSMX> curious101: does it launch a gui or is it a command line tool?
[11:16] <bascule> ItchyHoBo: try rm -f .Xauthority
[11:16] <curious101> ShockSMX: it's a command line tool. Okay for the GUI:
[11:16] <bascule> ItchyHoBo: try rm -f ~/.Xauthority
[11:17] <curious101> ShockSMX: in an explorer-like window, type smb://servername/share in the address bar
[11:17] <ItchyHoBo> hi again
[11:17] <ShockSMX> so i have to route it through samba?
[11:17] <ItchyHoBo> the panels arent loading now
[11:17] <ItchyHoBo> sideffect terminal window full of error messages
[11:17] <Jordan_U> ItchyHoBo, You know you can run "xchat &" to be able to run other apps in the same terninal, or run xterm & to get another terminal ?
[11:17] <chemturion> hey there I'm looking for a way to sync a local folder with a network location, any ideas on what I should use?
[11:17] <ItchyHoBo> but got gnome basic functionality
[11:18] <curious101> ShockSMX: yeah.
[11:18] <ItchyHoBo> i am a newbie :)
[11:18] <ItchyHoBo> xterm
[11:18] <ItchyHoBo> got ya
[11:18] <Jordan_U> ItchyHoBo, Or gnome-terminal
[11:18] <bascule> ItchyHoBo: you could add a new user and use that account
[11:18] <ItchyHoBo> bery good point
[11:18] <ItchyHoBo> very
[11:18] <bascule> ItchyHoBo: doesn't fix it but it is a workaround
[11:18] <ItchyHoBo> how do i create a new user
[11:18] <ItchyHoBo> ?
[11:19] <ShockSMX> curious101: i get an error saying "sorry, couldn't display all the contents of 'share'"
[11:19] <bascule> at shell sudo useradd newuser
[11:19] <ItchyHoBo> thanks
[11:19] <curious101> ItchyHoBo: "useradd [name_of_user]  -p [password] "
[11:19] <Evanlec> ShockSMX, probly requires password
[11:19] <chemturion> ItchyHoBo: Go under system > then Administration > then Users and groups
[11:19] <Jordan_U> ItchyHoBo, What is missing from the "basic gnome functionality" with gnome-session ?
[11:19] <ItchyHoBo> thanks ppl
[11:19] <ShockSMX> Evanlec: what's the syntax for providing it
[11:19] <Evanlec> not sure
[11:19] <ItchyHoBo> will report in case of sucess or otherwise
[11:19] <ShockSMX> ok, thanks
[11:19] <Evanlec> reconfigure windows machine to share without authentication
[11:19] <curious101> ShockSMX: what happened?
[11:19] <chemturion> Anyone know what I should use to sync a local folder with a network location?
[11:20] <ItchyHoBo> bye 4 5 mins
[11:20] <bascule> ItchyHoBo: yeah rmeber to set a password curious101 had the best suf=ggestion
[11:20] <ItchyHoBo> exit
[11:20] <Evanlec> !rsync | chemturion
[11:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:20] <Ashfire908> how do i set my network up to use a computer i just configured to be a gateway?
[11:20] <ItchyHoBo> ok will do man
[11:20] <bascule> ItchyHoBo: /quit
[11:20] <Evanlec> !sync
[11:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sync - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:20] <d4rkmonkey> !pear > d4rkmonkey
[11:20] <ShockSMX> curious101: access denied, i guess
[11:20] <ItchyHoBo> c u in 5
[11:20] <Evanlec> !backup
[11:20] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[11:20] <Ashfire908> chemturion: rsync
[11:20] <ShockSMX> curious101: "sorry, couldn't display all the contents of 'share'"
[11:20] <chemturion> awesome thanks
[11:20] <Ashfire908> chemturion: take a look at it's man ifle
[11:21] <curious101> ShockSMX: ah, so it has something to do with permissions. The command line equivalent would be smbclient //servername/share -U <username or Administrator>
[11:21] <ShockSMX> i'm gonna take a look at this, see if it has answers for me: http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/linux_as_a_client_to_windows_smb_shares.html
[11:21] <ItchyHoBo> it says could not lock password file
[11:21] <SeanTater> Ashfire908: i Most times you can configure it via GUI (I don't know on gnome though). If nothing else, read up on the command "route"
[11:22] <ItchyHoBo> wow i guess /tmp is important
[11:22] <Walkermag> Alright
[11:22] <bascule> ItchyHoBo: sudo useradd newuser && passwd newuser
[11:22] <Walkermag> Tried a How-To
[11:22] <Walkermag> And failed.
[11:22] <bascule> that is weird ...
[11:22] <ItchyHoBo> aha
[11:23] <rafaelscj> ItchyHoBo, system > admin > users and groups
[11:23] <n-iCe> Hi how Do i ping my localhost everty 30 mintues ? to don't get dc
[11:23] <bascule> rafaelscj: dunno if he can get it ...
[11:24] <Jordan_U> ItchyHoBo, everything in /tmp gets removed when you reboot, and most of it is files that are not particularly critical... but not all of it, and deleting everything in it while booted is a bad idea
[11:24] <magnetron> n-iCe: if you ping localhost, the ping will go on the loopback interface, not the lan
[11:24] <bascule> Jordan_U: is /tmp  deleted on reboot? it is on some distros not others
[11:24] <ar8ri> hi, i've got problems installing ubuntu 7.04 can anybody help me pls?
[11:24] <bascule> i ran a distro that used /tmp tmpfs in fstab
[11:24] <magnetron> !ask | ar8ri
[11:24] <ubotu> ar8ri: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:24] <n-iCe> magnetron and i'll get dc right? ok ill ping my public ip then, but how?
[11:24] <Ashfire908> SeanTater: thanks
[11:25] <jstarcher> how can I make a video DVD of an avi file with lossless quality? I tried converting it to mpeg first with ffmpeg but the quality is not as good even if I jack the settings way up
[11:25] <SeanTater> Ashfire908: yw
[11:25] <Vadi> Sorry to bother, but is anyone an expert on getting java to work with firefox? I'm trying to help a friend, and I'm out of ideas now. Nothing works.
[11:25] <magnetron> n-iCe: pinging your public IP won't help either. instead, you ping SOMEONE ELSE'S ip
[11:25] <n-iCe> magnetron well i'll ping someone elses ip, how ?
[11:26] <Itchyhobo> love u guys thanks a bunch
[11:26] <magnetron> n-iCe: use the ping command and run it every 30 minutes
[11:26] <Itchyhobo> new user is here and running
[11:26] <rafaelscj> n-iCe, google.com
[11:26] <bascule> woot!!
[11:26] <gnomefreak> Nookie^: ping ipaddresstoping
[11:26] <Itchyhobo> is this new user an admin like my previous user
[11:26] <n-iCe> magnetron but I want it to do it by itself like a timer
[11:26] <Itchyhobo> ?
[11:26] <bascule> oh that could be an issue ...
[11:27] <Itchyhobo> well u learn everyday
[11:27] <Vadi> Nobody to help with a java install?
[11:27] <Itchyhobo> ok buddy
[11:27] <Itchyhobo> since i got my gnome back
[11:27] <Vadi> Because the user pretty much gave up on Ubuntu now, sadly.
[11:27] <mattuk_> Vadi: have you used automatix? I used that and it worked a treat
[11:27] <Nookie^> hi! is it posible to use 16x16 icons in panel even if the panel size is set to 30px. "for gnome"?
[11:27] <Itchyhobo> let me help u vadi
[11:27] <Vadi> No.
[11:27] <magnetron> Itchyhobo: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
[11:27] <gnomefreak> mattuk_: dont suggest automatix please
[11:27] <Vadi> itchy - already tried reinstalling the sun-jre packages
[11:28] <rafaelscj> n-iCe, ping -i 1800 www.google.com
[11:28] <mattuk_> gnomefreak: how come? I found it in the Ubuntu Guide
[11:28] <n-iCe> Ok, are seconds ?
[11:28] <rafaelscj> n-iCe, yes
[11:28] <Vadi> mattuk: it's not recommended by the official ubuntu people
[11:28] <whatspy> hi, I happen to help a bunch of friends by correcting their homeworks, normally I have to ask them to print the documents because the corrections are instantly visible and comparable to the mistakes. is there software that allows to alter a document in a "corrective" fashion?
[11:28] <gnomefreak> mattuk_: its not supported and it has been known to break more pcs than it has helped
[11:28] <Vadi> no idea what guide you used, it's not too great
[11:28] <razer> if you try to install a new bios and wen you hawe done it the screen is all balack no bios... what shos i do?
[11:28] <gnomefreak> mattuk_: see !automatix
[11:28] <n-iCe> thank you rafaelscj
[11:28] <Itchyhobo> hmm..
[11:28] <mattuk_> gnomefreak: fair enough, had no probs here but thanks
[11:28] <mattuk_> !automatix
[11:28] <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)
[11:28] <Itchyhobo> i guess u will have to ask the experts then
[11:29] <Vadi> itchy - firefox simply isn't detecting java
[11:29] <gnomefreak> !worksforme | mattuk_
[11:29] <ubotu> mattuk_: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/
[11:29] <tarelerulz> I have computer with 2 ethnet card and one It hooked up to the net and the other is hook to my other computer I was wondering if there was way to set up ubuntu so one of my computer could get the net though the other one that has net
[11:29] <Vadi> that's what I'm trying to do.
[11:29] <bascule> rafaelscj: never knew that, must read man pages more :)
[11:29] <ar8ri> how can i change my screen resolution ?
[11:29] <rafaelscj> n-iCe, you're welcome
[11:29] <Vadi> Oh well, I'll give up too.
[11:29] <bascule> tarelerulz: sure it's possible but needs some firewall configing
[11:29] <mattuk_> My apologies, thanks for clearing it up
[11:29] <rafaelscj> bascule, :)
[11:29] <jrib> Vadi: did you install sun-java6-plugin?
[11:29] <Vadi> Yes.
[11:30] <laptap16> hello
[11:30] <Vadi> It's not linking to firefox right somehow.
[11:30] <jrib> Vadi: and restart your browser?
[11:30] <Vadi> Yeah
[11:30] <razer> if you try to install a new bios and wen you hawe done it the screen is all balack no bios... what shos i do?
[11:30] <fat_rat> when i plug my creative travelsound speakers to my laptop i can't hear anything, my sound card is realtek ac97 audio for via
[11:30] <Xero> ar8ri is having a problem with screen resolution. He/she can't change it through the GUI. Can someone please explain to him/her how to do this, because I don't really know.
[11:30] <jrib> Vadi: pastebin the output of the following command:  apt-cache policy sun-java6-plugin && ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[11:30] <tarelerulz> bascule , I understand for security reason you need that ,but  Is hard to do that period ?
[11:31] <gnomefreak> razer: its extreamly hard if not almost impossible to recover from a messed up bios flash other than getting it from another pc and trying again
[11:31] <bascule> tarelerulz: I only roughly know the basics but you forward packets through the linux machine, there will be a stack of HOWTOS on it
[11:32] <Kanuha> ar8ri, you may need to edit your xorg.conf file
[11:32] <rafaelscj> !resolution
[11:32] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:32] <ShockSMX> curious101: turns out i don't have smbfs
[11:32] <bascule> tarelerulz: you basically have to use firewall/netfilter to do it on linux, allows for massive control and flexibilty of course
[11:32] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, mpeg 2 is lossy, no way around it
[11:32] <razer> gnomefreak, how do i flash the bios when the screen is black
[11:32] <mattuk_> ar8ri: what resolution are you trying to get?
[11:32] <Vadi> jrib: actually, I had him search for sun-java6-plugin in synaptic, and the package doesnt even come up! Uh oh
[11:32] <ar8ri> i have problems even during installation
[11:32] <gnomefreak> razer: flashing bios = trying to upgrade them
[11:32] <fat_rat> when i plug my creative travelsound speakers to my laptop i can't hear anything, my sound card is realtek ac97 audio for via i'm running dapper anyone have an idea?
[11:32] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, ( DVD's use Mpeg 2 )
[11:33] <jrib> Vadi: is he using the amd64 version of ubuntu?
[11:33] <ar8ri> 1280*12003
[11:33] <ar8ri> 1280*1200
[11:33] <Vadi> He's on a dual-core processor, yes
[11:33] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, is there a way to make it near lossless?
[11:33] <Vadi> So I guess amd64
[11:33] <ndube> dual-core is not necessarily 64 nit
[11:33] <ndube> bit
[11:33] <jrib> Vadi: well guessing isn't really helpful.  Why can't your friend just join here?
[11:33] <martman> i just copied a massive amont of data between 2 drives(around 200 gigs). when ti finished i went to shutdown my computer. its been shutting down for a few mins now, usual really quick
[11:33] <martman> could it be finishing the copy? or did it hang?
[11:33] <Vadi> Good point, moment
[11:33] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, How bad are the artifacts you are seeing, can you give a screenshot / example?
[11:33] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, does the intenal speark work?
[11:33] <razer> gnomefreak, do i only hawe to download anather bios and put the floppy in and restart the comp?
[11:33] <Naisenu> Hey. My 250GB NTFS storage drive is missing in Ubuntu. It should be /media/hdb1/ It was there yesterday. It is not there today. Rebooted in between to the Windows side and came back. But did not do anything to that drive.
[11:34] <gnomefreak> razer: you cant was the point this is why people have old version of bios on thier system most of time, unless you know exactly what to do or love headaches. best way i have found to help would be call the support system for your PC
[11:34] <bascule> martman: could be syncing the disks, but leave it a while longer before killing the power
[11:34] <ndube> is it mounted?
[11:34] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: yes it works
 k, thanks
[11:34] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, no artifacts, just the movie is not as clear
[11:34] <myusrnm> After installing ubuntu, i came accross a little snag, an obstacle that i don't know how to solve. How do i use my ipod?
[11:34] <Jordan_U> Naisenu, Did windows happen to crash or be shut down improperly?
[11:34] <bascule> !ipod
[11:34] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[11:34] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Define clear
[11:34] <razer> gnomefreak, ok.. thanx
[11:34] <myusrnm> thanks, bascule
[11:35] <bascule> welcome
[11:35] <Naisenu> Jordan_U: No, but Ubuntu refused to restart. It crashed the X Session.
[11:35] <PvtRyan> How do I kill X so I can just work with the CLI?
[11:35] <Vadi> add
[11:35] <Naisenu> Jordan_U: So I used the old reboot button on the front of the PC itself.
[11:35] <hacknslash> razer: you could try making a bootable floppy to flash the bios
[11:35] <Vadi> oops
[11:35] <bascule> PvtRyan: sudo killall gdm
[11:35] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, I have the same card. wait a moment
[11:35] <bascule> PvtRyan: it won't ask twice so be ready
[11:36] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: ok
[11:36] <Jordan_U> Naisenu, Then the NTFS drive might have been labeled unclean since it was not unmounted properly, booting into windows should fix it if that is the problem IIRC
[11:36] <myusrnm> i prefer songbird to amarok, is there any way to use that with an ipod?
[11:36] <razer> hacknslash, so the motherbord knows thet it shod boot from floppy? even if it dosent hawe anny bios now
[11:36] <Naisenu> Jordan_U: I have booted into Windows and then back into Ubuntu. And even rebooted Ubuntu.
[11:37] <PvtRyan> bascule: Thanks..  This is a pretty low end system and I think upgrades will be much faster from there..
[11:37] <Ashfire908> how do i get ubuntu to go and get the dns servers?
[11:37] <bascule> !rockbox > bascule
[11:37] <Vadi> jrib: Cieran is the one with the problems
[11:37] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, double-click on volume's icon at tray
[11:37] <hacknslash> razer: it's worth a shot
[11:37] <ndube> ashfire908: what dns servers?
[11:37] <darkangel_> hello i just installed xchat is it working
[11:37] <jrib> Cieran: did you install the 64bit version of ubuntu?
[11:37] <bascule> PvtRyan: probably, lots of uncompressing will appreciate more ram
[11:37] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: got it
[11:37] <Cieran> Er...Yes, I believe so
[11:37] <PvtRyan> bascule: I have 64.
[11:37] <PvtRyan> lol
[11:37] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, so, edit > pref
[11:37] <Jordan_U> Naisenu, Ok, is it listed in your fstab?
[11:38] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: yes i got it
[11:38] <Naisenu> Jordan_U: Is that just open a terminal and type "fstab"?
[11:38] <Jordan_U> Naisenu, If so what happens when you run "sudo mount -a" ( pastebin the output if any )
[11:38] <bascule> PvtRyan: ouch, well try xfce or the minimilistic fluxbox for desktops
[11:38] <Cieran> jrib: Er...Yes, I believe so
[11:38] <bascule> :)
[11:38] <Red-Sox> hello...where could I find a guide for getting started (updating sources.list, installing flash, etc.)
[11:38] <Ashfire908> ndube: erm, does the router push the dns servers out or does the gateway?
[11:38] <Jordan_U> Naisenu, No, it's a file, /etc/fstab
[11:38] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, mark every tracks
[11:38] <jrib> Cieran: sun doesn't make a 64bit java plugin and adobe doesn't make a 64bit version of flash so those things are harder to install on 64bit.  Your computer can use the 32bit version and it will work just as well>  I'd recommend reinstalling the 32bit version
[11:38] <ndube> ashfire908: whatever is doing DHCP, probably your router
[11:38] <mortenjs> Hi i installed Ubuntu on my laptop. but after i had done that i installed xp on a new partion. but now i cant boot ubuntu without insert a cd with gumb on. can i get a program so a can chose between ubuntu and xp???
[11:39] <ndube> install grub
[11:39] <ndube> !grub
[11:39] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:39] <Jordan_U> !grub | mortenjs

[11:39] <Naisenu> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38395/
[11:39] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: still isn't working
[11:39] <Cieran> jrib: Elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean
[11:40] <jrib> Cieran: proprietary stuff like flash and sun's java plugin is not available for 64bit so you will have a lot easier time using ubuntu if you reinstall Ubuntu, but choose the 32bit version this time
[11:40] <Ashfire908> where are the dns server ips stored in ubuntu
[11:40] <olin> what does VFS error mean?
[11:40] <tarelerulz>  Say I don't want to make it so both computer can get on the net. I just want one so I can see its samba shares and ssh to it?
[11:41] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, http://stealth17.com/hosting/files/1/gkrellShoot_09-23-07_174227.png
[11:41] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, now, try every volume's control
[11:41] <bascule> Ashfire908: /etc/resolv.conf
[11:41] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, increase volume
[11:41] <Ashfire908> bascule: thanks
[11:41] <Haru> how do i remove print margins while printing using lpr?
[11:42] <jrib> Cieran: does that make sense?
[11:42] <olin> does anyone know the best way to burn CDs with feisty fawn?
[11:42] <ndube> gnomebaker
[11:42] <jstarcher> olin, K3b
[11:42] <ndube> or k3b
[11:42] <hacknslash> olin: what type of cd
[11:43] <bascule> olin: the command line ;P
[11:43] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, what do you think?
[11:43] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: i've tried but only built in speakers in my laptop works, creative sountravel speakers doesn't work :(
[11:43] <magnetron> olin: install the gnomebaker software, with the add/remove software
[11:43] <rafaelscj> olin, gnomebaker :)
[11:43] <olin> okay magentron thank you
[11:43] <Haru> jrib, do u know how to remove print margins while printing using lpr
[11:43] <jrib> Haru: nope
[11:44] <Cieran> jrib: Yes, yes that does.
[11:44] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, so, I would try OSS instead of Alsa
[11:44] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, That looks like an artifact of having to downscale it to DVD resolution, I don't know if it should be that bad though, try resizing the source video in VLC and see if it looks the same ( with smooth rezising or whatever option in VLC on so it doesn't just look pixelated )
[11:44] <bluebanana> what is 0xae on my keyboard?
[11:44] <bluebanana> What is 0xbo on my keyboard?
[11:44] <olin> I am attempting to burn audio CDs but Serpentine just keeps spinning

[11:46] <LjL> bluebanana: google "ascii"
[11:46] <bascule> bruenig: :)))
[11:46] <Jordan_U> bluebanana, You could have asked that all in one sentence
[11:46] <bluebanana> bruenig, yes, "not" should have been the word to capitalize
[11:46] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, File > Change dispo > OSS
[11:46] <Jordan_U> bluebanana, As a list
[11:46] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, I only see one for PAL though? http://orange.blender.org/download
[11:46] <bruenig> an array of questions for sure
[11:46] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: i did the samy with oss, still don't hear anything...
[11:47] <PvtRyan> bascule: It tried but failed to finnish actually killing X.. SO, How about stopping X from starting on boot?
[11:47] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: these speakers weren't cheap :(
[11:47] <YoG_> hi can anyone tell me if/how can I upgrade vino to 2.20 or 2.19 (I'm on feisty) thanx...
[11:48] <LjL> PvtRyan: remove GDM if you don't need it. if you think you need it, then set up boot scripts so that it doesn't get started
[11:48] <winkey> hey whats the perms on the shadow files suposed to be?
[11:48] <LjL> !boot > PvtRyan    (PvtRyan, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:48] <bascule> PvtRyan: it usually is /etc/inittab but different in ubuntu
[11:48] <ShockSMX> i'm still getting errors connecting to a windows share. SMB Connection Failed. anyone know what might be going on?
[11:48] <LjL> winkey: -rw-r----- 1 root shadow
[11:48] <bluebanana> so where can i find the answers to my questions?
[11:48] <PvtRyan> LjL: Thanks
[11:48] <winkey> LjL setuid?
[11:48] <LjL> bluebanana, i suggested googling "ascii"
[11:48] <LjL> winkey: doesn't look so
[11:48] <magnetron> YoG_: gutsy uses the 2.20 version of vinp
[11:48] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, what's your ubuntu's version?
[11:48] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Can you give a screenshot with the High def video resized to DVD resolution vs the mpeg2 ?
[11:48] <bluebanana> LjL, ok. i found it. thanks
[11:49] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: dapper
[11:49] <winkey> LjL thank you
[11:49] <pookey> what's the correct way to install flash under ubuntu?
[11:49] <metrix> I am hooking up a Garmin USB device to my pc (using gutsy) and I continue to have problems with loading waypoints just like I did on feisty.  If I remove garmin support the system works fine..  is this the place I would go to work on getting this fixed?
[11:49] <jrib> !flash > pookey (read the private message from ubotu)
[11:49] <YoG_> magnetron: so only upgrade to gusty will do that?
[11:49] <LjL> !flash > pookey    (pookey, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:49] <pookey> thanks guys :)
[11:49] <ptman> can anyone tell me how long feisty is supported?
[11:49] <magnetron> YoG_: upgrading to gutsy will solve the problem
[11:50] <jrib> ptman: 18 months after release
[11:50] <PriceChild> magnetron, please don't suggest that ehre yet ;)
[11:50] <Jordan_U> YoG_, Gutsy is not stable yet
[11:50] <YoG_> magnetron: thanx, but I'll wait for the release...
[11:50] <ptman> jrib: thank you very much for your prompt answer
[11:51] <Jordan_U> !lts | ptman see also
[11:51] <ubotu> ptman see also: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[11:51] <magnetron> YoG_: i was referring to that you could easily solve your problem when gutsy is released
[11:51] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, well I don't really want to resize it anyway
[11:51] <Jordan_U> :( he left
[11:51] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, my TV will play 1080i
[11:51] <YoG_> magnetron: So I read in the bugtracker... ;-)
[11:51] <LjL> metrix, this certainly is the ubuntu support channel, but your question sounds very specialized. i'll tell you that chances of someone else listening who's also using a garmin device are low.
[11:51] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, You can't get a higher resolution then that on a standard DVD
[11:52] <YoG_> magnetron: thanx anyway...
[11:52] <sauvin> I've just realised my /proc/cmdline has a "root=UID=(some huge string of characters here)" - what is that?
[11:52] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, higher then what?
[11:52] <bascule> python -c "for i in xrange(256):    print hex(i), chr(i)"
[11:52] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370909

[11:52] <Darkkish> Hey
[11:52] <Darkkish> What is the basic command for mounting an NTFS drive?
[11:52] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, oh that makes sense then. I guess that's what HD DVD is for then?
[11:53] <gnomefreak> Darkkish: lol @ basic use ntfs-ng
[11:53] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, 720480
[11:53] <LjL> metrix: i'm sure sure what you're saying anyway... are you having problem with the *connection* to the device, or just somehow converting its waypoints files?
[11:53] <LjL> !ntfs > Darkkish    (Darkkish, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:53] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Yes, you can try encoding it in xvid / divix and some DVD players will play it
[11:53] <Darkkish> !mount

[11:53] <tylo> hello all. is there someone who could help me with some C++ code?
[11:53] <rpj8> is there a way to change the icon on the "menu" applet for g-panel?
[11:54] <kenjiru> hello
[11:54] <tylo> PM me if you think you can ;)
[11:54] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: my english is weak :( but thank you :)
[11:54] <LjL> tylo: better try ##c++
[11:54] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, pretty sure mine wont :( What if I run s-video from my video card to the plasma?
[11:54] <Olliander> Hi guys.
[11:54] <tylo> ah. nice
[11:54] <rpj8> in other words, if I had debian installed, it'd show the debian icon in the menu applet
[11:54] <tylo> LjL: thanks
[11:54] <rafaelscj> how do I format a MP4?
[11:54] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Though that would mean that your DVD player would have to be able to output @ 1080i to make use of it, which I doubt it can
[11:54] <olof_> I managed to screw up my /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us file in Feisty Fawn 7.04. Could someone send me their file please? I would appreciate it a lot
[11:55] <rafaelscj> what's is the /dev/*** for a MP4?
[11:55] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, damnit this is pretty frustrating
[11:55] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, svideo won't do it, but DVI will, and most high def TV's support DVI IIRC
[11:55] <kenjiru> I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 and I have a problem: suddenly the sound stopped working!
[11:55] <LjL> rafaelscj: likely /dev/sda
[11:55] <LjL> rafaelscj: or /dev/sdsomethinghigher if other sdX's are already taken
[11:55] <Darkkish> I just need to know how to mount my drives -_-
[11:55] <Darkkish> they used to auto-mount
[11:55] <Darkkish> but for some reason they're not auto-mounting
[11:55] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, it doesn't have a dvi port but you can get a cable for DVI -> HDMI or something the manual said
[11:56] <olof_> I managed to screw up my /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us file in Feisty Fawn 7.04. Could someone send me their file please? I would appreciate it a lot
[11:56] <rafaelscj> LjL, My hard drive is sda...
[11:56] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Yes, that will work also
[11:56] <Din0x> Darkkish: check /etc/fstab
[11:56] <LjL> rafaelscj: then something higher
[11:56] <Olliander> I've a problem with my notebook, it's a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-834. tosh-utils and fnfxd don't run, because there's a problem with the toshiba_acpi-module, it puts a 'No such device'... I'm running Gutsy, under Feisty it ran... What could that be?
[11:56] <metal> kenjiru: Did it stop working while you were listning to something, or did it stop working after a reboot
[11:57] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, here is my DVD player: http://www.sylvaniaconsumerelectronics.com/products/dvd/ZV420SL8.php
[11:57] <bascule> olof_: http://pastebin.com/d30962694
[11:57] <rafaelscj> LjL, what's that command that list all hard drives available?
[11:57] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, A computer a DVR and an HDDVD / Blue Ray player are the only pieces of consumer electronics that can output HD that I can think of.
[11:58] <kenjiru> metal: I had a system freeze so I had to reboot the system (something that never happened before)
[11:58] <LjL> rafaelscj: there is no such command.  ls /dev/sd*  will list every SCSI-style drive, which i suspect is what you want, though
[11:58] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, I don't need to look at that link to know it doesn't have HDMI or DVI out :)
[11:58] <kenjiru> metal: and after the reboot there was no sound...
[11:58] <bascule> rafaelscj: cat /proc/partitions
[11:58] <rafaelscj> LjL, yes, there is
[11:58] <m1r> evening guys
[11:58] <rafaelscj> LjL, thanks
[11:58] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, alright thx man. What a pain this crap can be. I'll just have to wait for something to come along to try this new tv out at full resy I guess :(
[11:59] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Why not use your comp?
[11:59] <Olliander> Seems, that I'm the only one here with this prob, right? ^^
[11:59] <Olliander> Some kind of annoying. -.-
[11:59] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, I will have to get that cable
[11:59] <Marshal1> I'm unable to unlock my screensaver, but I am able to login to the machine initially.  I have been checking several things, but nothing seems to be working.  shadow and shadow- are different, which I noticed while looking at pam.d stuff
[12:00] <soundray> Olliander: ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:00] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, I have a 7800gtx, it has dual dvi so that should look nice
[12:00] <jstarcher> *work
[12:00] <olof_> bascule: thanks a lot, I will reboot and see if it works

[12:00] <bascule> m1r: cdrecord -vv -dao dev=dev/scd0 speed=8 some.iso
[12:00] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, I don't think it's expensive ( though my friends just came with it ) I even went to stupid prices and the guy had a box of them ( he didn't know what they even were ) and just said "take it, I've got tons" :)
[12:01] <m1r> tnx guys
[12:01] <w0lt-_> Does anyone have a recommendation for a PCI-Express x1 video card for a Dell Dimmension-3100 ?

[12:02] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Do you live in California? ;)
[12:02] <rpj8> say again, I want to change the little ubuntu logo on the main gnome-panel to an icon of my choice
