[00:00] <astro76> !sourceomatic | mcquaid
[00:00] <mcquaid> Metal-Maniac-Mat, there is no ccsm package (but there is a binary called that) the package you're looking for is called compizconfig-settingsmanager
[00:00] <ubotu> mcquaid: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[00:00] <saftle> yes, :D
[00:00] <mcquaid> thx saftle astro76
[00:00] <matttis> Hi, some minutes ago, I tried to install ubuntu, but the system (or the screen?) frooze. Maybe its just a graphic error, because I didn't left IRC with ping timeout. What can I do this time ?
[00:00] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> doesnt this all have to be downloaded?
[00:00] <randorfer> tyronepolleri:  did you find what the partion number was with gparted?
[00:00] <Ahmad_> saftle , i thing u changed somehow the prmissions of the drive , did u ?
[00:00] <lurix66> Hi, I'm still stuck with NO SOUND after upgrading to Gutsy. Anyone knows how to recover?
[00:00] <tyronepolleri> randorfer: yes it is sda2
[00:00] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> hoe can i just put it in the command prompt and it knows what im poking at
[00:00] <saftle> Ahmad_: no, I just reformatted and that was it. not sure what to do now.
[00:01] <tyronepolleri> randorfer: and it is in the third position because i have an unallocated space in the middle
[00:01] <mcquaid> ah ok, no i don't want to regenerate my sources.list.  I want to search alternate repositories.  Like there's mediubuntu reps. I'm looking for others
[00:01] <saftle> Ahmad_: I formatted using the gparted livedisc after having the same problem with the gparted in ubuntu
[00:01] <lurix66> mrigns = it?
[00:01] <mcquaid> what we need is the equivalent of www.apt-get.com/search
[00:01] <randorfer> tyronepolleri:  try sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows
[00:01] <xange> after upgrading from fiesty to gutsy beryl isn't working correctly...is there a issue tracking page I can go to to learn more?
[00:01] <astro76> mcquaid, the only other one that is useful or recommended IMO is the official wine one if you need wine
[00:01] <randorfer> mcquid:  apt-cache search
[00:02] <Ahmad_> saftle , i think there is an option in g parted to lock the partition !!
[00:02] <saftle> xange: beryl is no longer supported. check out compiz fusion. I liked beryl better, but you'll get the hang of compiz fusion pretty quick.
[00:02] <astro76> mcquaid, http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[00:02] <pdxkid> hi all
[00:02] <cvd> its there a way to make the update-manager stop asking to upgrade to a new version of opera?
[00:02] <xange> thanks saftle
[00:02] <matttis> Hi, some minutes ago, I tried to install ubuntu, but the system (or the screen?) frooze. Maybe its just a graphic error, because I didn't left IRC with ping timeout. What can I do this time ? File system has already been installed (but the system doesn't boot on its own, just with cd)
[00:02] <mcquaid> astro76, can't agree there.  there have been numerous repositories over the years that have come in handy
[00:02] <saftle> xange: np
[00:02] <pdxkid> any idea why aumixer no longer works (doesn't matter if gutsy install is upgrade or fresh)
[00:03] <mcquaid> mediubuntu rep for example to get the w32codecs, and for ffmpeg with mp3 support
[00:03] <saftle> Ahmad_: ok, thx, I'll try and check out the gparted settings.
[00:03] <lurix66> I also have pbms with sound
[00:03] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> yay
[00:03] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> it worked
[00:03] <mcquaid> and there have been ones in the past for latest beryl etc
[00:03] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> i love you guys
[00:03] <williammanda_> what is the link for the next ubuntu release?
[00:03] <mcquaid> should one use caution using other reps, sure. but I wouldn't say there are of no use
[00:03] <randorfer> metal:  glad to hear that
[00:03] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> now if only i could make ubuntu look like.... the W word
[00:03] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> lol
[00:03] <lurix66> pdxkid what is yr pbm?
[00:04] <matttis> HELLO ?
[00:04] <lurix66> hello
[00:04] <randorfer> metal:  you can, but why?  If you want it to look like something mainstream do a google for mac4lin
[00:04] <Super-Sonic-Sega> how do I log in as root, it says I have to be root to shutdown from bash
[00:04] <tyronepolleri> randorfer: it tells me NTFS is either inconsistent or you have a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware and to run chkdsk on windows
[00:04] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> guess i like linux
[00:04] <Pici> !sudo | Super-Sonic-Sega
[00:04] <ubotu> Super-Sonic-Sega: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[00:04] <pdxkid> aumix: SOUND MIXER READ_DEVMASK
[00:04] <matttis> lurix66: could you have a short look on my problem ?
[00:04] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> but i like the look of windows better
[00:04] <pdxkid> i've got gutsy on 5 machines now (desktops and laptops)
[00:04] <pdxkid> does this on all of them
[00:04] <cvd> ?
[00:05] <saftle> Super-sonic-sega: "sudo passwd" creates your root password and then you just type in "su" and then put in the password or root, and you're in.
[00:05] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> you gotta admit... they did catch on to something
[00:05] <randorfer> metal-maniac:  alright, then install kde and look for one of the 100 emerald themes that immataes aero
[00:05] <aqualung> i have a problem with gutsy :(
[00:05] <Super-Sonic-Sega> oh lol
[00:05] <Super-Sonic-Sega> I never made a root password
[00:05] <randorfer> tyron:  then you are over my head
[00:05] <Pici> !wfm | saftle Super-Sonic-Sega
[00:05] <ubotu> saftle Super-Sonic-Sega: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/
[00:05] <randorfer> super-sonic:  you can also just do sudo su
[00:05] <Pici> Super-Sonic-Sega: Please read the link that ubotu sent you.  That explains the proper way to do things.
[00:05] <seph1roth> hi any one knows how to get my wireless 5007eg card work?
[00:06] <Patchak> Metal-Maniac-Mat, I love mac OS more than WIN and Ubuntu is pretty hot with all those advanced desktop stuff
[00:06] <Super-Sonic-Sega> I'm just making a root password
[00:06] <cvd> ?
[00:06] <lurix66> who is having pbms with sound after going to Gutsy?
[00:06] <saftle> ubotu: ic, sorry, just trying to help out, :P
[00:06] <Patchak> what does sudo stand for, just curious
[00:06] <seph1roth> when i open my info in terminal the card says access denied
[00:06] <Patchak> super user d o ??
[00:06] <Pici> Super-Sonic-Sega: Yes, I know. That is discouraged and not reccomended. please read ubotu's link.
[00:06] <randorfer> seph1roth:  for now the madwifi will not work.  Install ndiswrapper and get the net5111.inf file for windows xp and install it under ndiswrapper

[00:07] <Super-Sonic-Sega> oh looks like I had a root password all along
[00:08] <Super-Sonic-Sega> O.o
[00:08] <randorfer> seph1roth:  for now the madwifi will not work.  Install ndiswrapper and get the net5111.inf file for windows xp and install it under ndiswrapper, follow this walkthrough (should work) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512828&page=7
[00:08] <mcquaid> hmm, i'm reading the adobe blog and as of beta 3 dated june 13 flash for linux had fullscreen support
[00:08] <mikebeecham> can anyone tell me what the best avi player and codec is in Ubuntu?  I've tried totem and vlc, but for some reason the picture seems quite grainy?
[00:08] <aqualung> hey mono84 i need wireless help too!
[00:08] <Super-Sonic-Sega> ok my only account is 'kurt' but it says I'm not root when I try shutting down with root
[00:08] <adac2> aqualung: whats your card name?
[00:08] <mcquaid> it doesn't work here.  can anyone confirm if flash fullscreen works?  and I mean hardware scaling not relaunch video in another window
[00:08] <demon_spork> mikebeecham, what is your screen resolution?
[00:08] <mikebeecham> demon_spork: 1280 x 1024
[00:09] <aqualung> its a linksys wireless g usb network adapter
[00:09] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> how do i do that kick ass cube thing
[00:09] <aqualung> it workd in fawn
[00:09] <kasansweat> Assuming I'm about to make the mistake of buying a wireless USB 'card' at CompUSA, does anyone one know if any particular brand/type are able to do security testing, - e.g. monitor/promiscuous mode, etc?
[00:09] <Kl4m> mikebeecham: I also noticed wmv's are grainy in linux
[00:09] <Maenad> hey any of you got a few minutes to spare to help me set up some kind of networking in linux? i mean, file sharing. smb or nfs or ftp.. any of them would work...
[00:09] <lurix66> i need some help with sound,
[00:09] <randorfer> metal:  in "advanced desktop effects" choose desktop cube and rotate desktop cube.  You then move it using ctrl + alt + arrow key or ctrl + alt + grab with mouse
[00:09] <adac2> aqualung: did it worked from the scratch in feisty?
[00:10] <aqualung> yes
[00:10] <mikebeecham> Kl4m: it's true...i thought it was just me, as they work fine in WMP11...but maybe it's just a lacking in Ubuntu?
[00:10] <aqualung> well no
[00:10] <aqualung> i had to setup manual configuration
[00:10] <aqualung> in network manager
[00:10] <Kl4m> Maenad: if you want to share with Windows (or even orther linux) or a local network, smb is definetly best
[00:10] <aqualung> roaming mode did not work
[00:10] <adac2> aqualung: ok...but you din't use ndiswrapper
[00:10] <Kl4m> !samba | Maenad
[00:10] <ubotu> Maenad: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[00:10] <mikebeecham> demon_spork: would it have anything to do with getting the right codec?
[00:10] <randorfer> kasansweat:  check card compatability out at madwifi.com (they are the leading devs for wifi support from my understanding)
[00:11] <aqualung> correct no ndis wrapper
[00:11] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> im trying but its not working
[00:11] <kasansweat> randorfer: thanks!
[00:11] <randorfer> kasansweat: madwifi.org *
[00:11] <theBishop> is there any good DLNA client software?  for streaming from Mediatomb (etc)?
[00:11] <Ktron> So, before I installed xserver-xgl, glxinfo reporting nothing missing and direct rendering yes, after installing xserver-xgl and logging out/back in, glxinfo reports "XFree86-DRI" as missing and direct rendering: No... any ideas why?
[00:11] <Shapeshifter> is there a command that checks if a package is installed? (needed for a simple bash script)
[00:11] <kazol3> Is there a way to have sudo on permanently (like su)? It's driving me crazy.
[00:11] <Maenad> Kl4m: okay, i looked online for about an hour to try and figure out a simple configuration for /etc/samba/smb.conf so that i can access my home dir over my network and i cant come up with anything that works. would you mind helping me set that file up?
[00:12] <randorfer> metal:  go to system -> preferences -> appearance -> visual effects and make sure you have custom selected
[00:12] <Pelo> Ktron,  check in synaptic and instlal xfree
[00:12] <lastelement0> hey everyone....im trying to mount my windows partition yet i cannot get it to mount.  i can see my restore partitions but not the main windows one
[00:12] <Shapeshifter> kazol2: yes, but it's unhealthy and you shouldn't do that.
[00:12] <kazol3> Shapeshifter: ?
[00:12] <randorfer> kazol3:  type sudo su and that will give you su, otherwise if you do sudo once you wont have to supply a password for it when you use it again for awhile(has a time out)
[00:12] <ahmad> Shapeshifter, apt-get install <programm>
[00:12] <demon_spork> mikebeecham, if you don't have the right codec, it can't decode the video to play it
[00:12] <RobbieSyd> hey is there any file/app where you can set all your ip address, dns, subnet mask, gateways etc?
[00:13] <Evanlec> question: is it safe to compile a ubuntu kernel from their git repository?
[00:13] <kazol3> randorfer: su does not work.
[00:13] <adac2> aqualung: that's strange then...
[00:13] <astro76> randorfer, kazol3, sudo -i is the nicer way to do that
[00:13] <Shapeshifter> ahmad: no, I need a simple output. something like "yes" or "no" ;)
[00:13] <lastelement0> hey everyone....im trying to mount my windows partition yet i cannot get it to mount.  i can see my restore partitions but not the main windows one\

[00:13] <Supersonicdarky> Need help - I tried to set up my tv as a second monitor
[00:13] <Maenad> i looked online for about an hour to try and figure out a simple configuration for /etc/samba/smb.conf so that i can access my home dir over my network and i cant come up with anything that works. would someone mind helping me set that file up?
[00:13] <adac2> aqualung: does the card work under windows?
[00:13] <mikebeecham> demon_spork: it does play, but the playback is quite grainy?
[00:13] <Supersonicdarky> ubuntu told me to logout to apply
[00:13] <randorfer> kazol3:  if you type only su it will prompt you for a root password which is not setup by default in ubuntu.  Doing sudo su, or sudo -i as astro just pointed out, will give you su powers after entering your own password
[00:14] <renan> [Need Help with ndiswrapper.. can anyone send me ndiswrapper.ko because i'm missing that?
[00:14] <aqualung> yes it works fine in windows its just gutsy can detect the signal of my router by will not connect me

[00:14] <Supersonicdarky> now it flashes an nvidia logo
[00:14] <demon_spork> mikebeecham, what codec are is the video you are watchin encoded in?

[00:15] <Pelo> Supersonicdarky,  does it get stuck on the nvidia logo or deos it proceed to the desktop eventualy ?
[00:15] <Supersonicdarky> but as soon as i login it shows logo and bak to login screen

[00:18] <noblelover> how can i run .swf?
[00:18] <javaJake> Metal-Maniac-Mat, not yet
[00:18] <renan> can anyone plz send me ndiswrapper.ko
[00:18] <MooIsh> Pici: Would I have basically the same thing as if I used Ubuntu with Fluxbox ?
[00:19] <randorfer> renan:  if you don't have the ndiswrapper.ko file you should just re-install ndiswrapper (note you have to do this everytime that the kernel gets updated)
[00:19] <PrimoTurbo> How do I make Ubuntu 7.10 automount my Windows XP partition on boot?
[00:19] <jamestech> noblelover: just open it in firefox
[00:19] <MooIsh> Pici: Or would it be grabass as Ubuntu ?
[00:19] <Pici> MooIsh: I think that the Fluxbuntu devs do some other weird stuff, but it would be close to the same.
[00:19] <noblelover> but it wont run
[00:19] <noblelover> im trying to play a flash game
[00:19] <Pelo> Metal-Maniac-Mat,  what you are doing is called vertical spam,  you are basicaly scrolling the channel for everyone else, it makes it hard to keep up with various discussions,  this is already a busy channel
[00:19] <MooIsh> Pici: I tried Xubuntu, and even it ran slow
[00:19] <renan> randorfer, i already reinstall a million time..
[00:19] <renan> but nothing..
[00:19] <Pici> MooIsh: you could ask in #fluxbuntu
[00:19] <MooIsh> Pici: Slower than WindowsXP
[00:19] <jamestech> noblelover: have you got flash player installed?
[00:20] <MooIsh> Pici: OK
[00:20] <theBishop> is anyone getting really bad performance from a Broadcom wifi nic in Feisty?  it was fine in previous releases

[00:20] <saftle> Pici: do you know how to change the previlidges on partitions? after formatting to a different format, I can no longer write to it.
[00:20] <noblelover> adobe says it doesnt sup[port my platform and browser

[00:21] <Pelo> noblelover, you want flash ? check in synaptic, enalble multiverse and install flash-non-free  ( or just do a search for flash)
[00:21] <Pici> noblelover: How did you install flash?
[00:21] <randorfer> renan:  I am offering it to you right now over irc, otherwise if you prefer I can email it
[00:21] <Pici> noblelover: and fyi, there is no linux version of Shockwave.
[00:21] <noblelover> in firefox i told it toinstalmissing plugins
[00:21] <noblelover>  and i chose the gnush i think
[00:22] <randorfer> renan:  my real suggestion though is to remove it, do locate ndiswrapper and delete all files found, then do a fresh install

[00:23] <randorfer> renan:  what would you like me to do?
[00:25] <Niculittu> i have an acer aspire 9302, but there's no audio. Help me please...
[00:25] <randorfer> jenda:  perhaps you have a directory called . ? the only reason you need to send cp the -r flag is if you are copying directories...
[00:25] <Pelo> !sound | Niculittu start here
[00:25] <ubotu> Niculittu start here: 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

[00:26] <ipx_laptop> Im looking for a way to make my laptop screen turn black after only 15 seconds of inactivity, is that possible? (This is for when im in class on battery)

[00:26] <chimpo> right ive been trying to sort this for a while, when i try to run compiz it says "checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present"
[00:26] <chimpo> and fails
[00:27] <Pelo> ipx_laptop,  if you find the config file for the xscreensaver you might be able to ,but don't ask me where to look
[00:27] <randorfer> ipx_laptop:  system -> power preferences and choose as appropriate
[00:27] <ipx_laptop> randorfer: I cannot choose under 11 minutes there
[00:27] <randorfer> ipx_laptop:  system -> power management *
[00:27] <ipx_laptop> Pelo: hm ok...
[00:27] <Pelo> chimpo,  try asking in #compiz-fusion they might know more about this then we do

[00:28] <Pici> jenda: yes, I saw :)
[00:29] <Pelo> seph1roth,  is the network manager set to roaming ?
[00:29] <lastelement0> how can i get rid of my desktop icons? like of my mounted devices
[00:29] <Pelo> shawn_selig29, try using gtkpod
[00:29] <chimpo> ok pelo
[00:29] <jmichaelx> wireless took a step backwards in gutsy... for rt2500 based cards at least
[00:29] <jmichaelx> do the server install CDs by any chance include the restricted modules?
[00:29] <randorfer> shawn:  plug it in and rythmbox should open, you can then click on your ipod and drag music to it and off of it
[00:29] <Pelo> lastelement0,  gconf-editor   /apps/nautilus/desktop
[00:29] <shawn_selig29> yah some program opened up...
[00:29] <shawn_selig29> cool
[00:29] <shawn_selig29> i'll try...
[00:29] <shawn_selig29> thxs
[00:30] <Luigi> Yeah, when I try to run compiz, is says I'm inelligible. I've got a 3D, OpenGL capable graphics card (Intel 82G965 integrated), but apparently my driver is experimental, since I initially had problems using my screen and had to use the nifty new card selector to get what I wanted out of my card.
[00:30] <randorfer> shawn:  any problems just let us know
[00:30] <ecke|away> Luigi, You can enable compiz but you will not be able to view video if you do.
[00:30] <Pelo> Luigi, try asking in #compiz-fusion
[00:30] <Luigi> Ok, Pelo
[00:30] <ecke|away> Pelo, i know the answer to this one.
[00:30] <shawn_selig29> ok i also jus tinstalled gtkpod...i'll take a look..i just odnt want ti to dlete any of my old songs
[00:31] <Pelo> ecke|away, well grab him before he leaves
[00:31] <Pelo> shawn_selig29,  I don'Tthink it will , but it's the recommended app for dealing with ipods
[00:32] <randorfer> shawn:  In my experience (with an 80g 5.5gen video) it works fine for songs and video transfer
[00:32] <Pelo> shawn_selig29,  I know from seing posts and articles that you can also use amarok and rhythmbox to manage your songs on ipods but I have no idea how
[00:32] <Luigi> #compix-fuusion is deserted :-(
[00:32] <shawn_selig29> the gtkpod...i openeid it now...and its asking for what gneration.........i dunnoo...its black iopd 1gb nano...
[00:32] <Pelo> Luigi, learn to spell
[00:32] <ecke|away> Luigi, if you enable compiz you will not be able to watch video
[00:32] <lastelement0> how can i get workspaces to work in the cube? right now its not working properly
[00:32] <Luigi> Pelo, what?
[00:33] <CochiseIRL> Luigi, its #compiz-fusion
[00:33] <randorfer> Pelo, Shawn:  when you hook up your ipod rythmbox should open.  On the left side you should see your ipod listed.  You can literally just drag songs there and it will do everything for you
[00:33] <Pici> Luigi: #compiz-fusion, not #compiz-fuusion
[00:33] <Pelo> lastelement0,  you need to add cube sides in the compiz manager thingy
[00:33] <shawn_selig29> ok
[00:33] <Luigi> Ohg, the channel name. That would be "Learn to type without errors ;-("
[00:33] <Luigi> Oh* ;-)
[00:33] <Pelo> randorfer,  i'll beleive you for now
[00:33] <randorfer> Pelo, ;-) its what I do with mine
[00:34] <Luigi> eckeaway, please explain further; Do you mean YOU were unable to watch video, or ALL users of Compiz(-Fusion) are unable to watch video?
[00:34] <randorfer> Pelo, I only use gtkpod for transfering videos
[00:34] <lastelement0> Pelo i have all of the cube options checked....
[00:34] <Niculittu> my sound card is the Realtek ALC 883 (8 - channel), but i have no sound in my laptop, can someone help me?
[00:34] <Pelo> randorfer,  I only have an RCA usb flash mp3 player,  Pearl,   the more i see ppl ask about ipods in here the less I am inclined to buy one
[00:35] <Pelo> lastelement0,  you should see a number in there somewhere , the number of sides to the cube, of faces maybe that's what you need to change  , set to 1 by default if I recall
[00:35] <randorfer> luigi:  with some intel cards you have to do something special to get compiz to work (something like checks = false) and the thing is at that point you can no longer play videos (have to disable compiz to do so)
[00:35] <Pelo> lastelement0,  you can also ask in #compiz-fusion , they will know exactly what you need to change and where
[00:35] <Luigi> radnorfer, thanks for the clarification.
[00:36] <shawn_selig29> it wont let me drag and drop into rythmboc...
[00:36] <Luigi> randofer*
[00:36] <randorfer> lastelement: go to system -> preferences -> advanced desktop effects choose general options
[00:36] <AngryElf> uhm, how come /etc/rc2.d/lirc doesn't automatically start lircd, but /etc/init.d/lirc start starts it up w/o any errors?
[00:36] <demon_spork> how do I get firefox to say that it's OS is windows?
[00:36] <Luigi> randorfer**
[00:36] <randorfer> lastelement: and from there you can change cube side number
[00:36] <ecke|away> randorfer, Luigi: Do sudo gedit /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager
[00:36] <dimeotane> if i'm having problems with my upgrade from feisty to gutsy.... would it be better to reinstall gutsy fresh from CD?  my /home directory is on a separate partition.  Would have have to reset up everything again?
[00:36] <Pelo> shawn_selig29,  there are several views in rhythmbox,  try turning on the libirary views that might help
[00:36] <ecke|away> append line SKIP_CHECK=yes
[00:36] <Luigi> Ok, bye everyone!

[00:37] <shawn_selig29> ok
[00:37] <ubotu> shawn_selig29: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[00:37] <Pelo> dimeotane,  all your settings and files will be saved and restored but you would have to reinstall applications
[00:37] <ecke|away> Luigi, but your video will stop working. If you disable effects it will work again though.
[00:37] <Pelo> dimeotane,  what is the problem you have with the upgrade ?
[00:37] <Niculittu> luigi scusa sei italiano?
[00:37] <randorfer> shawn:  you have to import songs into rythmbox first, then drag to ipod from rythmbox songs
[00:37] <shawn_selig29> ok, sorry
[00:37] <shawn_selig29> how do i import?
[00:37] <Luigi> Niculittu : No.
[00:37] <dimeotane> Pelo: so all my 'custom' applications would need to be reinstalled then...
[00:37] <randorfer> shawn:  one second let me check lol

[00:38] <Niculittu> ah va bene

[00:38] <Luigi> Leilani, I'm glad to hear it!

[00:39] <randomwalker> hi, how can i configure cron not to send me email unless there's an error?
[00:39] <randomwalker> i have some jobs running every 10 minutes and it clogs up my mailbox
[00:39] <randorfer> shawn:  in rythmbox you see your ipod listed under devices correct?
[00:39] <shawn_selig29> i got a error
[00:39] <shawn_selig29> yes i see my ipod listed in devices
[00:40] <randorfer> shawn:  what is the error?
[00:40] <shawn_selig29> the error says:
[00:40] <Pelo> dimeotane, I 'm not on wifi but I had to redo my connection stuff because Network manager would no longer recognise my stuff properly even tho i was still conencting,  xorg you can probably fix , don't know what bit of gnome when awire for you but there were manyu changes in the new gnome , some stuff is not longer where it was and some button may no longer work becaue of that , the stuff they handeld is jsut being handled differently
[00:40] <shawn_selig29> gstreamer....plugins to deocde mp3 ar enot found
[00:40] <Pelo> randomwalker, try doing a search in the forum
[00:41] <randorfer> shawn:  alright, that is telling you that it dosn't know how to play mp3s (ok for transferring, to enable mp3 support though do sudo apt-get install gstreamer-bad gstreamer-ugly)
[00:41] <cubedsi> whats the name of the app that lets you build your own live cd?
[00:41] <Pelo> shawn_selig29,  go into synaptic and install every single gstreamer0.10 package you see
[00:41] <randomwalker> Pelo, googling gave me lots of results of people having the opposite problem :)
[00:41] <randomwalker> Pelo, thanks anyway
[00:41] <shawn_selig29> ok..i'm a newbie..i need it in newbiew terms pls
[00:41] <Pelo> cubedsi, apt-on-cd ?
[00:41] <cubedsi> you pre-configure it
[00:41] <Pelo> randomwalker,  I meant www.ubuntuforums.org
[00:41] <randorfer> shawn:  go to system -> synapic package manager and search for gstreamer
[00:41] <dimeotane> Pelo: after a certain point if the upgrade is messed, I think it may just be worth a fresh install from CD... makes a case for not have a 'too customized' system...
[00:42] <cubedsi> and then burn a cd with your preconfigured apps that is a live cd
[00:42] <randorfer> shawn:  system -> administration -> synaptic package manager *
[00:42] <Pelo> cubedsi, or was it reconstructor ?
[00:42] <cubedsi> i checked that out, i don't think its that
[00:42] <randomwalker> Pelo, ok
[00:42] <shawn_selig29> randonwalker can you pls goto #ipodhelp     so i dont get ocnfused with all this typing in here?
[00:42] <ctothej> if he tries to open it in Totem, it can install the required packages for him...
[00:42] <randorfer> shawn:  select all files called gstreamer and click "apply" then message back here
[00:42] <cubedsi> pelo: it would be for building a live cd that only has that apps i would want on it
[00:42] <Pelo> dimeotane, when you upgrade you need to have all the default ubuntu-desktop  pakages installed for the upgrade to work properly, that migth be an issue
[00:43] <javaJake> Pici, for future reference:  /boot/<version>-generic.config - kernel config. :)
[00:43] <Pelo> cubedsi, http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
[00:43] <dimeotane> Pelo: should i try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop i wonder
[00:43] <jamiesss> hey
[00:43] <Pelo> dimeotane,  if you removed a lot of the default apps it might be worth a try
[00:44] <jamiesss> i need abit of help i ran the chattr +D command
[00:44] <jamiesss> and now my system wont load
[00:44] <Pelo> dimeotane,  keep in mind that upgrade is not 100% reliable in anycase,  gutsy was the first time it worked for me
[00:44] <dimeotane> Pelo: feisty upgrade worth perfectly for me!
[00:44] <ctothej> ubotu, tell shawn_selig29 about mp3
[00:44] <dimeotane> worth=worked

[00:46] <Pelo> dimeotane, someone gave me this a while ago , never actualy tried it   you can duplicate your packages setup by using
[00:46] <Pelo>  dpkg --get-selections > mypackages
[00:46] <Pelo> on the laptop, copying that file to the desktop (after a base install) and doing
[00:46] <Pelo> dpkg --set-selections < mypackages && apt-get dselect-upgrade
[00:46] <[diablo]> good morning

[00:47] <[diablo]> guys, does anyone know if it's possible to use a USB memory stick as the installation source for 7.10, as opposed to a CD-ROM...
[00:47] <[diablo]> I've got a mate here with some laptop which it's CD/DVD-ROM is knackered
[00:47] <randorfer> pamela:  after you do modprobe ndiswrapper it should start by default (type dmesg | grep ndiswrapper to make sure)
[00:47] <[diablo]> or network install even
[00:47] <ctothej> Jp, entre en los canales #ubuntu-es
[00:47] <cubedsi> houmala: the driver is here http://webcam.sourceforge.net/

[00:48] <JPSman> Is there a kindergarden level linux user chat room I can goto?
[00:48] <Pelo> dimeotane,  it was intended to match the installed packages on two different comps but it migth work for restoring after a clean install
[00:48] <adac2> [diablo]: i guess it is possible if you are able to boot from usb stick
[00:48] <randorfer> JPSman just ask you question here and we should be able to answer it at your level
[00:48] <[diablo]> adac2, yeah I believe it can
[00:48] <Ricket> I enabled the ATI accelerated driver via the restricted drivers manager, restarted, and now my screen is blank. Apparently it's not compatible. How do I undo?
[00:49] <adac2> [diablo]: I never tried it...just try it out
[00:49] <shawn_selig29> ok all gstamer 0.10 things ar emakred for install..some where already installed...
[00:49] <[diablo]> adac2, I can easily setup either nfs or smb installation source, or alternativly use the usb
[00:49] <randorfer> shawn:  click "apply"
[00:49] <[diablo]> adac2, yeah but you know how to setup the usb stick for booting?

[00:50] <Pelo> !sound | JPSman
[00:50] <ubotu> JPSman: 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
[00:50] <Pelo> JPSman,  don'T worry about being new, we've all been there
[00:50] <dimeotane> pelo: thats a great command to know!! the output makes a nice system 'backup' of sorts!!!  dpkg --get-selections > mypackages
[00:50] <shawn_selig29> ok its done
[00:50] <shawn_selig29> and i closed down the window
[00:50] <dimeotane> great to have on hand for reference =)
[00:50] <[diablo]> cubedsi, I only need it as the installation source, not actually install it on the usb
[00:50] <randorfer> Shawn:  alright, re-add the file in rythmbox
[00:50] <shawn_selig29> oksec
[00:51] <cubedsi> diablo: that would be difficult
[00:51] <randorfer> Shawn: (close and re-open rythmbox first)
[00:51] <Pelo> dimeotane,  I tried it a bit and couldn't get it to work  maybe i did something wrong, use your discretion
[00:51] <shawn_selig29> now it imported it
[00:51] <shawn_selig29> i had it closed when i done what we done
[00:51] <randorfer> ok
[00:51] <[diablo]> cubedsi, well, even nfs
[00:51] <shawn_selig29> maybe thats why when i tried to play files off ipod it didnt do it
[00:51] <cubedsi> how would the usb be activated as a boot device? does your bios have that detection?
[00:51] <[diablo]> cubedsi, just need to get the boot part onto the usb I guess
[00:51] <shawn_selig29> now music in in music tab..how i ge them to my ipod?
[00:51] <randorfer> shawn:  now select music and you should see all you music.  Now you can drag them over to your ipod and they will transfer automatically

[00:55] <[diablo]> nite
[00:55] <Pici> mzinz: You asked how to start samba, thats how.  samba is a service that runs in the 'background'
[00:55] <bryan_w> samba is a daemon and has to be started as such
[00:55] <Pelo> shawn_selig29,  ntfs , fat32, fat16, ext3, reizer etc
[00:55] <shawn_selig29> it plays my osngs off my ipod
[00:55] <Benalex> Pelo: and the alternate has the text installer for both server and desktop?
[00:56] <Pelo> Benalex,  not sure
[00:56] <mzinz> Pici, Ok.  That helps.  What exactly does invoke-rc.d do?  Is that how you begin a service?
[00:56] <shawn_selig29> how cna i tell filesystem?
[00:56] <Pici> mzinz: yes.
[00:56] <adac2> [diablo]: this looks nicer http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/
[00:56] <randorfer> shawn:  try adding a different song (maybe that song is already on there ?)
[00:56] <Pelo> Benalex,  Ithink the alternate only has the text installer for the desktop
[00:56] <Pici> Benalex: no, the Alternate CD installs desktop
[00:56] <shawn_selig29> hfsplus it says
[00:56] <shawn_selig29> whcihc is mac format
[00:56] <rasky>  jamiesss I'm a newbie too but I did find http://linuxreviews.org/man/chattr/
[00:56] <ConstyXIV> what do you delete to purge your compiz configuration?
[00:56] <mzinz> Pici, How can I look at/edit settings for Samba?  How can I tell if a service is already running?
[00:56] <shawn_selig29> but it is able to play my song soff my ipod
[00:56] <Pelo> shawn_selig29,   try cchecking in menu >s ystem< admin>  system monitor , last tab
[00:57] <BSG75> I am trying to set this laptop up for my wife and I had this working before.. pls pm me if you know how to turn on system prompts
[00:57] <randorfer> shawn_selig:  try opening your ipod in rythmbox and pulling songs off of it
[00:57] <Pelo> ConstyXIV, check in /home/user/.compiz  , see if there is a .conf file you can delete
[00:57] <Pici> mzinz:edit  /etc/samba/smb.conf
[00:57] <Leilani2> blech
[00:57] <shawn_selig29> hfsplus it says
[00:57] <randorfer> shawn_selig:  if that works you can pull them all of, sync it with a pc and then it should work in the way I described before
[00:57] <gnychis> how can i install something from the Hardy repository? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/piklab
[00:57] <Pelo> BSG75, system prompts ?
[00:57] <shawn_selig29> cause wher eit was synced on a mac...
[00:57] <Pici> gnychis: you dont. That is unsupported.
[00:58] <shawn_selig29> ok..how cna i pull them all off?
[00:58] <Evanlec> Pici, where is the default file for modules that load on startup?
[00:58] <mzinz> Pici, How would a user find that config file if they weren't acquainted with Samba? Do all programs have a config file, such as that?
[00:58] <BSG75> pelo: for example, when she unmounts her usb key the system prompted in saying it is now safe to take out her key .. etc
[00:58] <shawn_selig29> just drag and drop to a folder/
[00:58] <randorfer> shawn_selig:  same sort of way I was describing before, open up rythmbox, double click on your ipod and then drag the songs to you music folder
[00:58] <shawn_selig29> ok
[00:58] <shawn_selig29> sec
[00:59] <evil_tech> randorfer: i looked in the settings manager for compiz and couldnt find anything for number of sides
[00:59] <Pici> mzinz: most system-wide programs/services have config files in /etc.
[00:59] <shawn_selig29> its copying them onto my hard drive
[00:59] <ctk> what program do I use to make a DVD of pictures? for playback on a standalone DVD player
[00:59] <rasky>  jamiesss It looks like broadly speaking it changes file attributes along with the various switches that is
[00:59] <RaGzKiE> /j#ubuntu-offline
[00:59] <mzinz> Pici, Ok.  Thanks.  Where are most program "executables" stored? Are they called Executables in *nix?
[00:59] <shawn_selig29> i can use ubuntu to put it to pc format right?
[00:59] <randorfer> shawn:  wonderfull (that the exact way it *should* work to put them on after you format it with a pc)
[00:59] <Pelo> BSG75,  and you are not getting it now ? they are still there, maybe it only takes a short time to sync it and the msg doens'T need to pop up ,  I get the msg for my 2gig musix player but not for my 256 meg  key card
[00:59] <poeloq> is it possible to install from scratch and somehow restore my installed packages + settings + keep my existing home partition?
[01:00] <randorfer> shawn:  I do not know how to do that if you can!
[01:00] <BSG75> pelo: I don't know what I did to turn it off :(
[01:00] <Pici> mzinz: yep, in /usr/bin, /bin/, /usr/local/bin/ among others (depending on who the programs are intended to be used by)
[01:00] <BSG75> pelo: is it a taskbar applet?
[01:00] <shawn_selig29> i can get at a windows pc very quickly....if i run itunes on it...and format for windows...then i can add songs with this program?
[01:00] <randorfer> shawn:  I would just find a windows computer, install itunes on it and sync with it(it will re-format it)
[01:00] <Pelo> poeloq,  mount your /home to a seperate partiton , seperate from /,  that will save all your settings and data ,
[01:00] <randorfer> shawn:  yes that is the idea!
[01:00] <shawn_selig29> dam when i copied songs ot hard drive there not named right
[01:00] <mzinz> Pici, Ok.  What goes in /usr/bin usually? What usually goes in /usr/local/bin/, etc?  Could you maybe give me an example of an app that would go in each? ;)
[01:01] <poeloq> Pelo: including my system settings? i.e. like keyring, firefox settings etc pp
[01:01] <poeloq> ?
[01:01] <Pelo> BSG75,  I donTthink you cna turn it off, it is not a pannel app ,  I just think you are not getting it becaue it is safe to remove your drive anway
[01:01] <Pelo> poeloq, yes
[01:01] <shawn_selig29> i'll bbl
[01:01] <shawn_selig29> thxs
[01:01] <garu> does anyone have a wireless problems?like, losing wireless connection after a few minutes and only getting it back after restarting the system?
[01:01] <poeloq> Pelo: thanks
[01:01] <BSG75> sigh .. that will be hard to explain to her .. LOL .. I am soo dead :)
[01:01] <JPSman> uh - I geuss im back
[01:01] <Evanlec> mzinz, those folders are pretty much the same, u would only use usr/local/bin if u had a system of thin clients that were launching apps off a server, and u wanted some to be specifically local
[01:01] <Pelo> poeloq,  for the apps you can try this little thing , but I am nto sure it works well   you can duplicate your packages setup by using
[01:01] <Pelo>  dpkg --get-selections > mypackages
[01:01] <Pelo> on the laptop, copying that file to the desktop (after a base install) and doing
[01:01] <Pelo> dpkg --set-selections < mypackages && apt-get dselect-upgrade
[01:01] <ctk> what program do I use to make a DVD of pictures? for playback on a standalone DVD player
[01:01] <BSG75> thank you for your help :)
[01:01] <JPSman> !sound
[01:01] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:02] <Evanlec> mzinz, so thus, either location is fine, they are both for user executable binary files (apps)
[01:02] <Pici> mzinz: er, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[01:02] <Pelo> BSG75, try it with a large usb drive ( as large as you ahve ) , empty it completely and then load it up with new files, see if it takes longer to synch up on unmount and if you get the msg
[01:02] <evil_tech> i tried increasing the number of desktops under general tab in compiz settings and still no cube
[01:02] <mzinz> Evanlec, So the directory that the app is installed in (ie: executed from), just controls how the server actually handles the app?
[01:02] <Pelo> ctk, you mean like a diaporama ?
[01:03] <BSG75> pelo: my usb key is 16gb .. I will try filling it up right now :)
[01:03] <BSG75> brb
[01:03] <randorfer> evil_tech:  Do you have compiz-settings-manager installed?
[01:03] <Evanlec> mzinz, im not sure i follow, what server?
[01:03] <ctk> Pelo: not sure what that is
[01:03] <Pelo> BSG75,  you probabaly donT need 16 gig of data on it , a couple of gig would probably do
[01:03] <BSG75> pelo: kk
[01:03] <Pelo> ctk,  you mean to make a cd of just images ? not video ?
[01:03] <randorfer> evil_tech:  obviously you do if you increased them under general tab.  Ok then, make sure you have cube selected and rotate cube
[01:03] <Evanlec> 16gb usb key? i want one!
[01:03] <mzinz> Evanlec, sorry for being unclear.  Does the directory that an app executable is storedi n have an affect on how the server launches/controls the app?
[01:03] <JPSman> !sound
[01:03] <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).

[01:04] <ctk> Pelo: yeah. but to set transition time and stuff
[01:04] <evil_tech> i do still no cube
[01:04] <Pici> mzinz: no, its pretty arbitrary where it runs from.  Its just for organization that things are put into different directories like that.
[01:04] <Pelo> BSG75, bascaly enought to make sure it takes a few mintes to sync
[01:04] <Amaroq> Hey guys, I deleted my chroots and now all my home folders are gone. Is there a way to get my stuff back?
[01:04] <evil_tech> should i logout and then back in
[01:04] <rasky> I've never even seen a 16G USB stick
[01:04] <mzinz> Pici, Ok, that's what I was trying to understand :)
[01:04] <randorfer> evil_tech:  under system->preferences->apperance->visual effects do you have custom selected
[01:04] <Evanlec> mzinz, generally no, an application can be installed anywhere, but usually the binary files of an app get put in a /bin directory, not just for tidiness, but also because there are important links that are attached to the binary as well
[01:05] <evil_tech> yup
[01:05] <JPSman> lol - hey guys this sound help wants me to first "goto a shell" but I have no idea what that is
[01:05] <mzinz> Pici, are there usually differences between /bin/ and /usr/bin/ ? ie: if I install a brand new app, which one would I look in first?
[01:05] <mzinz> Evanlec, Ok, I understand now, thanks :)
[01:05] <Pelo> ctk, hmmm , don'T knwo about that,  make a not of the work diaporama , basicaly series of slide, you might also search for slideshow , search for those in the forum in synaptic and in google, that mighthelp,   getdeb.net migth also have something
[01:05] <Pici> mzinz: /usr/bin
[01:05] <Evanlec> JPSman, thats a terminal, under Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[01:05] <Pelo> rasky,  you haven't lived
[01:05] <dinkle> im having problems getting my mouse working on my laptops
[01:05] <ctk> Pelo: thanks
[01:05] <Pici> mzinz: /bin is for system apps iirc.
[01:05] <Pelo> dinkle, little more details
[01:06] <rasky> Pelo Mine's only 4G :(
[01:06] <dinkle> mouse works in windows, it is a targus wireless laser mouse
[01:06] <JPSman> evanlec - thank you
[01:06] <shawn_selig29> back
[01:06] <Evanlec> Pici, no thats sbin
[01:06] <dinkle> zero functionality, no buttons, no scroll, no movement
[01:06] <shawn_selig29> i put it ona  windows pc..itunes formatted the ipod to windows format
[01:06] <Pici> Evanlec: Then whats just /bin ?
[01:06] <Evanlec> Pici, usr/bin is for user binaries
[01:06] <Pelo> rasky, mine is 256 meg , cost me 50$ , two years ago , be happy
[01:06] <dinkle> but the trackpad works on my dell vostro 1500 - google has not been a help
[01:06] <mzinz> Pici, ok, thanks.  If I install a brand new app and I have no idea where any of its associated files are, what is usually the best way to locate them?
[01:06] <randorfer> shawn alright, now it should work when you connect it to your linux box
[01:07] <Pici> mzinz: I usually do `dpkg -L packagename`
[01:07] <shawn_selig29> now file system says vfat in system monitor
[01:07]  * N3bunel away
[01:07] <AngryElf> okay, i I still can't get MFE started automatically w/ lirc support on Ubuntu -- has anyone been able to do this?
[01:07] <Evanlec> Pici, system wide binaries i guess? tho they do seem rather integral to the system
[01:07] <randorfer> shawn:  that should be fine, try doing what we did before in rythmbox
[01:07] <mzinz> Pici, where is a good place to learn about dpkg? Other than it's man files? :)
[01:07] <Pelo> dinkle,  try changing the device in xorg.conf , I 'm not sure what you would change it there but I 'M pretty sure that is where you would change it
[01:07] <shawn_selig29> ok
[01:07] <shawn_selig29> working now
[01:07] <shawn_selig29> :)
[01:08] <ray_> how do i change permissions to access a partition?
[01:08] <rasky> Pelo I got mine as a present I don't actually use it much - the stupid thing is my mp3 player in only 1G
[01:08] <Pici> mzinz: I was going to suggest the man pages...
[01:08] <randorfer> shawn:  good stuff
[01:08] <shawn_selig29> dam macintosh..lol..

[01:08] <randorfer> shawn:  No problem
[01:08] <shawn_selig29> so this program does albulm artwork as well?
[01:08] <mzinz> Pici, what does the L parameter do exactly?  I see the output, but what is it called?
[01:09] <randorfer> shawn:  I don't know, I havn't tried
[01:09] <Pelo> rasky,  but I don't care of the mp3 plyer itself much, the controls on the fist one I had were much better in my opinon
[01:09] <shawn_selig29> all good though now
[01:09] <randorfer> alright well im out real work calls, have fun everyone
[01:09] <shawn_selig29> i am gonn rmeove ipkipod now..asi dont need it to confuse me

[01:09] <BlackDiamonds> I have a question regarding packages
[01:09] <shawn_selig29> yup it does albulm artowrk :)
[01:09] <Pici> mzinz: List perhaps
[01:09] <Pelo> shawn_selig29,  unmount it , don'T jsut pull it out
[01:09] <mzinz> Pici, ok
[01:09] <Pelo> BlackDiamonds,  ask it
[01:09] <shawn_selig29> how i do that?
[01:09] <rasky> Pelo I have to admit the controls on Ipods are pretty good. I refuse to get one though - they're too trendy for someone of my age :)
[01:10] <Pelo> shawn_selig29,  right click the icon, select unmount
[01:10] <shawn_selig29> ok....
[01:10] <josiahw> how do you copy files from your local computer to another computer through ssh?
[01:10] <shawn_selig29> i think itunes had a eject function
[01:10] <BlackDiamonds> If Foo V1.01 comes out and V1 is in the reps will 1.01 eventually come into the reps or do I need to access an unoffical rep for the package ?
[01:10] <shawn_selig29> can i unmount and still leave it in usb to charge?
[01:10] <Pelo> rasky,  us hold geezers like things simple with big buttons
[01:10] <BSG75> pelo: you are a genious :) ... that's exactly what it was .. I just copied over 2.5GB and it told me now it's safe to take off me key :)
[01:10] <Pelo> shawn_selig29, yes
[01:10] <Shadix> werd
[01:10] <shawn_selig29> cool......perfect
[01:11] <shawn_selig29> i'am totally happy i sithce dot linux
[01:11] <dimeotane> Pelo:  I'm thinking this through... if I reinstall from CD my applications, users, and fstab will get wiped... anything else important I should consider?
[01:11] <shawn_selig29> friendly help and whole works
[01:11] <BSG75> now all I need to figure out is if there is a way to mount devices on the right side of the screen instead of left
[01:11] <Pelo> BSG75, not a genious, I jsut go very annoyed that it takes me 30 min to sync up my 2 gig player
[01:11] <thor> josiahw: look at scp for just copying
[01:11] <shawn_selig29> i justneed the energry to put ubuntu on all my other 3 desktop pcs
[01:11] <BlackDiamonds> Pelo, what do you think ?
[01:11] <shawn_selig29> lol
[01:11] <rasky> Anyway I would have trouble using an Ipod with Juice. I tried it briefly with  friends and it's not out of the box stuff
[01:11] <shawn_selig29> good thing i still had a windows box to format ipod though
[01:11] <rasky> I've been with Juice for awhile now
[01:11] <josiahw> thor: what is scp?
[01:11] <rasky> It's followed me from Windows
[01:11] <Pelo> dimeotane, back up the appropriate files to your /home and copy them back afterwards
[01:12] <thor> josiahw: secure copy...if you have openssh installed just do a 'man scp' in an xterm window
[01:12] <Shadix> hey I'm having trouble with "Barry" (a blackberry sync app) it won"t detect my BB when i go to backup but will when I use "bcharge" ommand
[01:12] <BlackDiamonds> If Foo V1.01 comes out and V1 is in the reps will 1.01 eventually come into the reps or do I need to access an unoffical rep for the package ?
[01:12] <Amaroq> If I sudo rm -rf'ed my /var/chroots folder, and all my stuff disappeared, am I totally screwed? Is my stuff still on some device that needs to be mounted, or did it all really get deleted?
[01:12] <gnychis> how can i install something from the Hardy repository? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/piklab ... i dont care if its not supported yet
[01:12] <shawn_selig29> thxs guys
[01:12] <djlenoir> Hi. I am trying to share an internal ntfs hdd using shared folders and get the following error - "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000"

[01:12] <BSG75> anyway to tell gnome to mount all devices to the right of the screen? :
[01:12] <dimeotane> Pelo: there must be a list somewhere of what is worth backing up ... what's 'the appropriate files'
[01:12] <shawn_selig29> i'm off to bed   got school in mouring
[01:12] <Pelo> BlackDiamonds,  depends,  during the life time of a release therepos only get updates,  security and fixes,  they donT generaly get new versions
[01:13] <mzinz> How can I create a new user ?
[01:13] <BlackDiamonds> is there a ubuntu repo that might contain them ?

[01:13] <BlackDiamonds> like super-unstable or something ?
[01:13] <thor> mzinz: check the adduser command if you don't want to use the gui
[01:13] <Pelo> BlackDiamonds,  backport possibly or specilasid repos from the app maker
[01:13] <BlackDiamonds> Because if a new version of inkscape came out or something, I could really use it
[01:13] <stunatra> mzinz, System > Admin > users and groups
[01:13] <BlackDiamonds> thanks pegger
[01:13] <BlackDiamonds> err Pelo
[01:13] <mzinz> thor, thx.
[01:14] <djlenoir> hi, can anyone help with this issue please? I am trying to share an internal ntfs hdd using shared folders and get the following error - "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000"
[01:14] <josiahw> thor: I has openssh but the command man scp returns nothing
[01:15] <josiahw> thor: nm sorry
[01:15] <BSG75> djlenoir: does your security and share privs open to everyone?
[01:15] <Jordan_U__> shawn_selig29, Did you get your iPod working?
[01:15] <Pelo> BlackDiamonds, backport basicaly has popular aps that aren't supported in the ubuntu repos or that get upgraded frequently and that everyone scream for the latest version of ,  it's as cutting edge as the official repos get , which is not very sharp so you wont, cut yourself very deeply
[01:15] <thor> josiahw: let me check...just a sec
[01:15] <Amaroq> quit
[01:15] <Amaroq> er
[01:15] <djlenoir> BSG75, too new to know... default install of gutsy. how can i verify please?
[01:15] <adrian_> adrian
[01:16] <Pelo> Jordan_U__, he did
[01:16] <BSG75> djlenoir: I thought your share was on windows??
[01:16] <adrian_> hi, may I ask for help?
[01:16] <djlenoir> BSG75, gutsy seems to have mounted them fine though as i can see them through the file manager (access them)
[01:16] <Audio_1> i have a quick question: I need to do a clean install of windows, i have the hard drive that windows on set up to dual boot. if i format the partition that windows is on and do not mess with the ubuntu partition, is it going to mess up the grub loader?
[01:16] <thor> josiahw: scp should be installed with ssh
[01:16] <benzs_s> !ask | adrian_
[01:16] <ubotu> adrian_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:16] <josiahw> thor: It is sorry I corrected myself :)
[01:16] <Pelo> Jordan_U__,  with the help of randorfer
[01:16] <thor> ah ok....
[01:16] <BSG75> djlenoir: hmmm weird
[01:16] <mzinz> What is the command to list all users?
[01:16] <hexxa> i install arch now but arch dont find my module, anny here knows how i can do ? *sry my english*
[01:16] <Pelo> mzinz, users
[01:17] <hexxa> network module*
[01:17] <rasky> Audio_1 I have heard reports that it does mess up other bootloaders
[01:17] <mzinz> Pelo, That only shows the ones currently logged in.
[01:17] <thor> josiahw: you can also do ftp and such through an ssh tunnel...the tunnel is a very handy trick to know
[01:17] <Pelo> mzinz, my mistake
[01:17] <rasky> I haven't dual booted that way though so I can speak from experience
[01:17] <djlenoir> BSG75, i have gutsy loaded on the first drive in a system with 4 drives that used to run windows... the other 3 drives have ntfs currently and lots of data on them i want to move across the network to an XP system. trying to share out the drives so i can access them from the XP system.
[01:17] <Jordan_U__> hexxa, Archlinux?
[01:17] <hexxa> Jordan_U, yes
[01:17] <Pelo> g'night folks
[01:17] <meta4ical> Hi all, I have an radeon x800 pro and I can't get the fglrx drivers working under 7.10. I recieve a black screen upon booting up. I made a threat on the ubuntu forums if anyones willing to help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3792186#post3792186
[01:17] <Audio_1> ok, i will just keep my cd of supergrub handy, thanks
[01:18] <adrian_> I have an USB-Disc that does not work on ubuntu, a friend of mine told me to download an F**-reader, I do not know what it is named, but it was three letters starting with an F, does anyone of you know what it is named?
[01:18] <Jordan_U__> hexxa, This channel is for Ubuntu, #archlinux for arch
[01:18] <hexxa> Jordan_U, wups wrong channel haha
[01:18] <BSG75> djlenoir: ah .. so you are booting into linux and trying to share your ntfs drives using samba so you can copy them over to your other xp box?
[01:18] <ConstyXIV> how do i get compiz to let me move windows past the top edge?
[01:18] <rasky> I'll try Arch again when I'm feeling brave :)
[01:18] <BSG75> djlenoir: did I get that right?
[01:18] <djlenoir> BSG75, correct :)
[01:19] <thor> josiahw: check 'searcher.myvnc.com' for some quick and dirty info on setting up a tunnel
[01:19] <matthew> anyone up for helping a linux noob with some gutsy install issues?

[01:19] <jamiesss> i get a problem when tryin 2 tranfer files
[01:19] <BSG75> djlenoir: oki.. that should be fairly straight forward .. you have smbuser created with passwd and given them access to the folder you want to copy over to the xp box?
[01:19] <josiahw> thor: I am accessing an appletv using ssh... when I try and copy things from my box to the appletv it tells me it cant
[01:19] <josiahw> thor: a gui would be very nice :)
[01:20] <jamiesss> i get a permission error when tryin 2 copy files over
[01:20] <jamiesss> from linux 2 windows
[01:20] <thor> josiahw: I am waiting on my first powerbook so can't help much with apple...but osx is supposed to be bsd linux...so it should be pretty close
[01:20] <jamiesss> windows 2 linux mostly
[01:21] <majmun> you need proper access to that windows-partition, is it fat or ntfs?
[01:21] <djlenoir> BSG75, no. i went into system --> shared folders, installed files necessary to create smb share and then tried to share the ntfs drive and received the error.
[01:21] <jamiesss> ive setup my users
[01:21] <shavex> where can i find icons? like i want the icons that show up when i put a shortcut up on my desktop
[01:21] <jamiesss> ntfs
[01:21] <josiahw> thor: i dont have an apple either :) i think I needed to change some permissions on it when I had it hooked up
[01:21] <mzinz> What is the command to list all users?
[01:21] <adrian_> HELP!!!  I have an USB-Disc that does not work on ubuntu, a friend of mine told me to download an F**-reader, I do not know what it is named, but it was three letters starting with an F, does anyone of you know what it is named?
[01:21] <majmun> uhm, sorry, i don't know then - i'd try umask=0 as mount-parameter if it was fat32
[01:21] <Evanlec> shavex, gnome-look.org
[01:21] <majmun> try to copy them using sudo/root
[01:21] <BSG75> djlenoir: who did you allow access to?
[01:22] <majmun> that should work, if not, then your problem is not the filesystem but something else
[01:22] <matthew> can anyone help me with a ubiquity error during an install from the live cd of 7.10?
[01:22] <majmun> hm, i'd need an opinion from somebody who speaks native english. i know, this is kinda off-topic, but is that statement correct? "The proper solution to suit every require- [line-break] ment for your enterprise or personal needs"
[01:22] <BSG75> djlenoir: have you tried logging into the share from the xp box using your linux box login and passwd?
[01:22] <Jordan_U__> shavex, The icons on the desktop are really .desktop files, you can open them in a text editor and see what image they point to, or change it
[01:22] <jamiesss> wat fs is ur linux running on?
[01:22] <shavex> Jordan_U, thanks!
[01:22] <majmun> it's for a little project, i really want to translate it really good
[01:23] <rasky> adrian: trouble reading the device or the contents?
[01:23] <shavex> Evanlec, thank you!
[01:23] <BSG75> is there a xml file I can edit to mount all devices to the right of the screen?
[01:23] <majmun> any ideas? i've got about 1 minute left to do that..
[01:23] <Jordan_U__> majmun, Other than being a sentance fragment it looks right
[01:23] <djlenoir> BSG75, i could not create the share... i chose the path (pointed to root of ntfs drive), selected share through 'windows networks (smb)' and gave it a description. clicked OK and get a failure.
[01:23] <thor> mzinz: checking....that is a good question <smile>
[01:24] <majmun> hm, what do you mean?
[01:24] <mzinz> thor, :)
[01:24] <matttis> hi
[01:24] <thor> mzinz: I always define a home directory for my users, so I just look in /home and see what directories are there.
[01:24] <mzinz> thor, Ah.  I see.
[01:24] <thor> but there should be a way to list the users...
[01:24] <mzinz> thor, that works, no worries
[01:25] <djlenoir> BSG75, i assume it is giving access to my account as it asks for the elevated account password when i open shared folders
[01:25] <Jordan_U__> majmun, It is not a complete statement, there is something missing, like " Product a is the proper solution ..."
[01:25] <mzinz> thor, is it possible to change the password of another user when not logged into that specific acct?
[01:25] <thor> mzinz: if you don't use the -m when you add a user you won't create the home directory
[01:25] <matthew> so anyone? ubiquity crashes while the installer is running, before getting to the step where shit is copied over
[01:25] <mzinz> thor, good o know.
[01:25] <mzinz> thor, to*
[01:25] <Jordan_U__> matthew, How much RAM do you have?
[01:25] <BSG75> djlenoir: okay .. quick check .. you do see the shares from your xp box right?
[01:25] <matthew> 2 gigs
[01:25] <thor> mzinz: yes, use 'passwd <username>' when logged in as root
[01:25] <tussey> is it possible to reszie my NTFS partition after installing Ubuntu?
[01:26] <tussey> ! resize | tussey
[01:26] <djlenoir> BSG75, no, because they do not exist on the gutsy box yet :)
[01:26] <shavex> Jordan_U, it just says a name... for example im using pidgin... so i look at Icon=pidgin  where does that mean it is?
[01:26] <Jordan_U__> tussey, Yes, but you need to do it from a LiveCD
[01:26] <diego> tussey, yes it is
[01:26] <majmun> well, yes of course, it depends on a product to the left of that text, but thank you very much
[01:26] <BSG75> djlenoir: LOL .. man you are worse than my wife and that saying a lot :)
[01:26] <mzinz> thor, this is unrleated, but maybe you know :)  I just started up Samba and edited the config file.. But when I try to connect from another computer, it appears to deny access... any idea why?
[01:26] <djlenoir> BSG75, LOL!
[01:26] <adrian_> HELP I have an other problem; when I am upgradeing to 7.10 the installer stops when it reach the modifyinf the software channels, fetching fil 35 of 42
[01:26] <mzinz> thor, it seems to be an auth problem.
[01:26] <thor> mzinz: do yourself a favour and install swat
[01:26] <ogami> hi umm... sorry to bother you but doe anyone know how to bring u a table of the hard drives and their partitions as well as their recognized names (like hd0...) grub is causing m all sorts of trouble on this install
[01:26] <matthew> Jordan: i've already created an extended partition, 2gigs for /swap and about 18 for the install
[01:26] <mzinz> thor, whats that?
[01:26] <diego> tussey, you can do it from the ubuntu live cd using gparter
[01:27] <matthew> or root i mean
[01:27] <tussey> ok, do I have to worry about data being destroyed?
[01:27] <thor> mzinz: a web interface that allows you to define shares and everything via a browser....just point the browser to 'localhost:901'
[01:27] <djlenoir> BSG75, maybe i am not explaining the problem well enough :P
[01:27] <jamiesss> anyone recommend any gd system restore tools for linux ?
[01:27] <BSG75> djlenoir: okay .. here's my suggestion... try small first till you figure things out .. here is my suggestion .. make a folder on the desktop .. share to a local user on the machine .. goto your xp machine and login as the local user of the linux machine .. once you get that working, sky is the limit :)
[01:27] <thor> mzinz: samba drove me nuts til I found swat
[01:27] <mzinz> thor, does it have all of the same features as samba (not that I know what they are ;))
[01:27] <travist120>  			 		 		 		 		I recently got frustrated with my laptop cause it was frozen, so being the impatient person I am, I manually held the power button down and shut it off. Well, next time I try to turn on my laptop, it gives me (I had to paraphrase it) "Unable to insert capability.ko" and it remains that way. This is on the latest kernel from the update manager. I try another kernel and it gives me "Invalid" several times before stopping. I tried recovery mod
[01:28] <acc_> Hello, #ubuntu.  Does anyone know if Dell ships an Ubuntu CD / DVD with newly-bought systems?  Thanks
[01:28] <diego> tussey, there's allways a possibility
[01:28] <BSG75> djlenoir: LOL
[01:28] <Evanlec> acc_, i would imagine so
[01:28] <thor> mzinz: yes, and it offers you a way to edit the config directly if I remember correctly...not that I ever needed to
[01:28] <mzinz> thor, cool.  I like web-interfaces :)
[01:28] <thor> mzinz: swat is not a replacement for samba, it is a gui for samba
[01:28] <mzinz> thor, Ohhhhhh
[01:29] <ogami> egh guess you don't know then... >_>;;
[01:29] <tussey> is there a way to defrag my disk and move all the data to the front and back of the HD and leave the middle open to move the partition sizes around?
[01:29] <jamiesss> anyone recommend any gd system restore tools for linux ?
[01:29] <thor> mzinz: you still need samba installed and running...but swat makes it so easy to configure
[01:29] <travist120> I recently got frustrated with my laptop cause it was frozen, so being the impatient person I am, I manually held the power button down and shut it off.

I try another kernel and it gives me "Invalid" several times before stopping. I tried recovery mode too. It seems 
[01:29] <Jordan_U_> shavex, Look in /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/apps/ and in the folder specific to your theme like "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/pidgin.png"
[01:29] <BSG75> djlenoir: good luck to you .. time to tuck my lil highness to bed :) .. good night everyone
[01:30] <mzinz> thor, I just installed it but it isn't able to load the page, any idea why?
[01:30] <mzinz> thor, how can I verify samba is running?
[01:30] <fjens> I read the forum on sharing the internet connection with 2 NIC's
[01:30] <fjens> its not working, however
[01:30] <Majkball> Where will I find the files like stdio.h, stdarg.h and so on... or basically, I just want to easy and quickly have a look in them sometimes from a terminal window? (Using Ubuntu 7.10 with most of the gcc developer packages installed)
[01:30] <thor> mzinz: do you have it running? There are a couple of things yhou need to do to get it running...just a sec
[01:30] <sFEARs> hello
[01:30] <djlenoir> BSG75, gotcha. i will start with the basics and test that out. something tells me it is going to work fine as long as the folder that i create is on my linux partition.
[01:30] <Jordan_U_> fjens, Ethernet to ethernet?
[01:30] <thor> !swat
[01:30] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[01:30] <fjens> in my windows setup, I have eth0 connected to the internet, eth1 connected to a wireless router to broadcast a wireless signal
[01:30] <djlenoir> ah, just missed him :)
[01:30] <fjens> yes, ethernet to ethernet
[01:31] <jughead> hello, I have no sound with a Chaintech AV-710.  I used the optical out by placing some .asoundrc in my /home dir.  Now I want to use the reg. outputs so I deleted the .asoundrc and now I have no sound
[01:31] <thor> mzinz: I always have to look it up when I install it...there are several good tutorials on the web
[01:31] <mzinz> fjens, why not have modem->router->pc?
[01:31] <mzinz> thor, ok
[01:31] <fjens> yes it sounds stupid, but the linksys befw11 router is the worst 11b router ever made
[01:31] <fjens> it will not get an IP from my modem
[01:31] <fjens> but it will get an IP from my computer
[01:31] <travist120>  			 		 		 		 		I recently got frustrated with my laptop cause it was frozen, so being the impatient person I am, I manually held the power button down and shut it off. Well, next time I try to turn on my laptop, it gives me (I had to paraphrase it) "Unable to insert capability.ko" and it remains that way. This is on the latest kernel from the update manager. I try another kernel and it gives me "Invalid" several times before stopping. I tried recovery mod
[01:31] <fjens> tried firmware updates, everything
[01:31] <thor> mzinz: if I remember correctly in ubuntu you only need to turn it on
[01:31] <mzinz> fjens, you could configure it statically
[01:32] <mzinz> fjens, along with your home pc's?
[01:32] <DerangedDingo> travist120: Although this applies to almost all operating systems, it's very important when using Linux to properly shutdown because many files, ports, and buffers, need to be closed and written properly.
[01:32] <fjens> tried that too
[01:32] <mzinz> fjens, haha
[01:32] <travist120> okay
[01:32] <mzinz> thor, samba or swat
[01:32] <travist120> but how can I fix it
[01:32] <fjens> if i do that, the router will keep alive for about 20 minutes
[01:32] <fjens> you visit something intensive, and bam it crashes
[01:32] <mzinz> fjens, rma
[01:32] <DerangedDingo> travist120: i personally can't help, but have you googled for 'capability.ko'?
[01:32] <mzinz> fjens, faulty, happens all the time with linksys
[01:32] <fjens> yeh i heard
[01:32] <mzinz> fjens, try to return it and get a buffalo?
[01:32] <sFEARs> i know this might be a #kubuntu question but no one in there could help me, when i try to pull up a web page with konqueror i get an "error while loading http://... could not connect to host http://..." i can't connect using IP, firefox works fine.  It was working fine, i lost my wireless internet for a minute & tried to load a page & got the error, wireless connection came back on but i still get that error any time i try to load a web
[01:32] <sFEARs> page, i've apt-get remove konqueror & reinstalled.  still doesn't work
[01:32] <travist120> yeah, but I just get the forum topic that I posted
[01:33] <fjens> ridiculous, they wont accept it as a rma, they say im retarded and down know what im doing
[01:33] <thor> mzinz: both need to be enabled...might need xinetd installed to do that...don't remember offhand
[01:33] <fjens> but i read the topic
[01:33] <Jordan_U_> travist120, I would try running fsck from a LiveCD
[01:33] <matthew> anyone have ideas with regard to a ubiquity crash during an install of gutsy? the forums arent coming up with much
[01:33] <fjens> on iptables
[01:33] <mzinz> fjens, lol
[01:33] <sn00zer> when using virtualbox do i have to activate?
[01:33] <mkz>  anyone aware of any application that can open a M$ Publisher document?
[01:33] <fjens> and getting eth1 to interface to eth0
[01:33] <mzinz> thor, whats that
[01:33] <Jordan_U_> matthew, Try the alternate CD?
[01:33] <fjens> even tried firestarter
[01:33] <sFEARs> mkz have you tried installing an open office plug in?
[01:33] <mzinz> fjens, ok, sorry, so what exactly is your problem when running modem->router->pc?
[01:33] <matthew> Jordan_U_, what will using the alternate CD allow me to do differently?
[01:33] <mzinz> fjens, err modem->pc->router
[01:34] <Jordan_U_> !alternate | matthew
[01:34] <ubotu> matthew: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[01:34] <fjens> shouldnt have any problems, XP interfaces perfectly... i just right click on share "eth0" and it automatically hooks it up to eth1
[01:34] <mkz> sFEARs: wasn't aware of an OOo plugin to open Pub files, but I will check now
[01:34] <thor> mzinz: xinetd controls some of the extended network functions. Check here...https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Swat
[01:34] <fjens> the router doesnt work for some reason
[01:34] <fjens> and if it does, it drops the connection
[01:34] <sFEARs> i don't know if there is one.. but them make plug in's for most of the stuff
[01:34] <mzinz> fjens, hmm
[01:34] <fjens> you have to hard reset it every 15 minutes
[01:34] <fjens> but
[01:34] <fjens> if you connect it to the computer
[01:34] <Jordan_U_> matthew, I also once was able to install using ubiquity on a low memory system by stopping X and running ubiquity from another machine using ssh -X
[01:34] <fjens> connect internet port to the ethernet port on your computer
[01:34] <fjens> modem to eth0
[01:35] <fjens> router to eth1
[01:35] <mzinz> fjens, ok
[01:35] <fjens> router internet connection to eth1
[01:35] <thor> mzinz: you might also want to look at webmin....it is an interesting package for managing users and such
[01:36] <mzinz> fjens, so it's connecting modem-->(eth0)PC(eth1)-->(WAN)Router(eth1)?
[01:36] <matthew> Jordan_U_, i'm pretty new to the whole linux scene so, to be honest, that didnt really make much sense to me. my system isn't low memory though
[01:36] <fjens> in that way, the router picks up a "internet address" when its more like 192.168.0.1 (dhcp provided by windows XP for eth1) and it broadcasts whatever comes in
[01:36] <fjens> so i can get wireless
[01:36] <mzinz> thor, Ok, thanks.
[01:36] <fjens> ghetoo
[01:36] <fjens> but it works
[01:36] <mzinz> fjens, well, as long as it works :)
[01:36] <fjens> yeh
[01:36] <fjens> but i cant get it to work under ubuntu
[01:36] <fjens> internet works on computer
[01:36] <fjens> but router doesnt get it
[01:36] <hdante> hi
[01:36] <hdante> :-)
[01:37] <slonbg> hi. fresh install of 7.10, wifi usb dongle with ndiswrapper (worked perfectly with 7.04). after a few hours the network connection disappears. ifdown and then ifup of wlan0 restores the connection. any idea what may be the problem? i can not find anything in the log files about this.
[01:37] <fjens> ?
[01:37] <Shadix> Hrmmmm When adjust my appearance in "Appearance Preferences" to 'Extra' a window pops up that says "The Composite extension is not available" what does that mean?
[01:37] <kc> hello all i am running ubuntu 7.10 is there anything new release's out as of late??

[01:38] <crdlb> Shadix: install xserver-xgl
[01:38] <mzinz> thor, lol
[01:38] <crdlb> that's the easiest solution
[01:38] <crdlb> then log out, and back in
[01:38] <Shadix> kc, there is a new release every six months
[01:38] <Shadix> k
[01:38] <Shadix> thx
[01:38] <fjens> mzizn, im going to PM you
[01:39] <mzinz> fjens, k
[01:39] <matthew> Jordan_U_, thanks for your help. i'll give the alternate cd a shot.
[01:39] <bruno321> how can I sort directories by size? (hidden directories too)
[01:39] <ricanelite> okay how do i edit my xconf?
[01:39] <thor> mzinz: 'touch <filename> will create a zero byte file
[01:39] <djlenoir> oklopol, i have created a share but when i try to access it from my XP machine it prompts for authentication... my user name and password on my ubuntu box do not seem to be valid... how do i grant permissions to the share?
[01:39] <mzinz> thor, ahh, didn't put filename. thx.
[01:39] <coonlokht> hi
[01:39] <mzinz> thor, is that the main/only intention of the touch cmd?
[01:39] <gnychis> how can i install something from the Hardy repository? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/piklab ... i dont care if its not supported yet
[01:39] <thor> mzinz: I wonder what got touched?
[01:39] <djlenoir> oklopol, sorry didn't mean to send that to you directly (darn tab) :)
[01:39] <slonbg> also - another problem. the wifi is configured with manual configuration to connect always to my hotspot (with WPA). But upon boot, it always connects to some random open hotspot (I have about 3-4 non-secured around). after ifdown/ifup wlan0 it connects ok with my network. how should I "enforce" the manual connection?
[01:39] <ricanelite> because for some reason with me installing the drivers for my geforce 8400GS and being it is the main drivers I still don't get nothing but still this message Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[01:40] <thor> mzinz: touch will update the timestamps for archiving purposes
[01:40] <coonlokht> just want to know how to execute a shell script on gnome startup
[01:40] <thor> mzinz: and I expect has other similar uses
[01:40] <Jack_Sparrow> gnychis: Do you care if it hoses other things up on your system?
[01:40] <mzinz> thor, touch: cannot touch `/etc/xinetd.d/swat': No such file or directory
[01:40] <coonlokht> i tried to put it on the session menu
[01:40] <mzinz> thor, is it possible to overwrite a written file with a zero byte file?
[01:40] <coonlokht> the action list
[01:40] <gnychis> Jack_Sparrow: of course that depends :P
[01:40] <mzinz> thor, when touching
[01:40] <jamiesss> j Blueprint
[01:40] <coonlokht> but no way
[01:40] <djlenoir> i have created a share but when i try to access it from my XP machine it prompts for authentication... my user name and password on my ubuntu box do not seem to be valid... how do i grant permissions to the share?
[01:40] <PhenomX4> CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow
[01:40] <thor> mzinz: you can only work in /etc if you are logged in as root
[01:41] <Jack_Sparrow> gnychis: What are you trying to install?
[01:41] <mzinz> thor, i thought i was logged in as root?
[01:41] <thor> mzinz: and no..it won't erase an existing file, but will update the timestamps
[01:41] <mzinz> thor, k
[01:41] <MilitantPotato> djlenoir: you need to add samba users
[01:41] <Shadix> crdlb, I had issues with the slpash so I deletes "splash" from the kernel line will this affect that?
[01:41] <MilitantPotato> !samba
[01:41] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[01:41] <ridge-meister> is there a tool i can download to rip movies from redtube, on a dialup conection?
[01:41] <fjens> mzinz, pm me real fast, bersirc is being stupid
[01:41] <gnychis> Jack_Sparrow: piklab
[01:42] <djlenoir> MilitantPotato, i will read up on that
[01:42] <thor> mzinz: check if xinetd.d is a directory....like I said you might have to install xinetd to get it all working
[01:42] <Jack_Sparrow> gnychis: Do you have a link?
[01:43] <mzinz> thor, yep, the dir didn't exist, didn't think of that
[01:43] <thor> mzinz: if you are following the howto I pointed out, you create the swat file in any text editor...nano or gedit work well
[01:43] <Ragewarp> i was recently screwing around with my panels, and now i cannot minimize anything to my tray. when i exit the program (i.e pidgin) the prog just exits completly, it doest go to the tray, the same applies to all programs

[01:48] <djlenoir> step 1 complete... successfully created a samba share and accessed it remotely from my XP machine. now step 2, try to create a share from a folder on a local ntfs instead of linux partition... testing
[01:48] <chuy_max> Hi, I just installed gutsy in /dev/hdb2, but grub was installed in /dev/hda, how do I make it so it is installed in hdb?
[01:49] <javaJake> Anyone ever got this message before? MAC-PARTS: LOAD (noninterposed) not supportedload-size=0 adler32=1
[01:49] <coonlokht> i first put le commande on the session action list
[01:49] <aladinsane> thor: the disk doesnt even show up in fstab.
[01:49] <coonlokht> doesn't work
[01:49] <don_pucci> anyone help with wireless networking driver issues
[01:49] <thor> aladinsane: there's the problem <smile>
[01:49] <kc> also a while ago i asked for some help retrieving "vmware" and i was told to use virtualbox, which i did an d like it however it will not capture any usb devices and my "wine" will not see my external so does anyone have any solutions????
[01:50] <|Zippo|> somebody is having troubles to record DVDs on gutsy?
[01:50] <thor> aladinsane: you need the drive mounted...put it in /etc/fstab and it will be mounted automatically at bootup
[01:50] <aladinsane> thor: ok, i tried adding it there before but with no luck, i guess i did it wrong
[01:50] <robdig> don_pucci: whats going on (or not)?
[01:50] <thor> aladinsane: is it the same format as your first drive?
[01:51] <don_pucci> robdig i tried to install new drivers for my wireless card...now i have no device
[01:51] <aladinsane> thor: yes
[01:51] <don_pucci> iwconfing says i have no wiress extensions
[01:51] <don_pucci> wireless
[01:51] <djlenoir> bam! back to my original problem, as soon as I click on the ntfs partition in shared folders it immediately errors "Cannot mount volume. Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy. Details - hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000"
[01:51] <aladinsane> thor: both ext3
[01:51] <thor> aladinsane: then you should be able to copy the line that mounts your first drive and just change the drive (sda to sdb or whatever) and the mountpoint
[01:51] <robdig> does ifconfig show your card?
[01:52] <thor> aladinsane: actually...I t1hink it will be sda1 and sdb
[01:52] <thor> (sdb1)
[01:52] <don_pucci> robdig no...just the wired one
[01:52] <dana_bad> what should i apt-get to make rm videos not crash totem?
[01:52] <dana_bad> and play w/ video in gnome mplayer?
[01:52] <aladinsane> thor: the first disk is added with it's UUID, do i need that for this disk as well or is /dev/sdc1 enough?
[01:53] <aladinsane> thor: sdc1 is the new disk
[01:53] <thor> aladinsane: /dev/sdc1 should be sufficient
[01:53] <don_pucci> i just want to reinstall original
[01:54] <thor> aladinsane: the important stuff is the options near the end of the line
[01:54] <aladinsane> thor: the first disk has "defaults,errors=remount-ro" under options by the way
[01:54] <persnickety> hello all, quick question... i upgraded to gutsy from feisty lately, everything went well except I dislike the default to compiz on, so I removed the entire compiz package (no use on current hardware) but somewhere along the way my windowing manager settings were screwed up, it seems I have no window manager & can't access the Windows item in Preferences, my question is how to I manually set my manager back to plain metacity?
[01:54] <thor> aladinsane: keep all the same options...should be ok
[01:54] <robdig> don_pucci: did your wireless card work with original drivers from ubuntu?
[01:54] <aladinsane> ok, ill try it out, be right back
[01:54] <thor> aladinsane: once you have it in fstab, you should be able to just 'sudo mount /dev/sdc1' and see if it works
[01:55] <djlenoir> any suggestions? trying to create a samba share... when i select a local ntfs partition in shared folders it immediately errors "Cannot mount volume. Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy. Details - hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000"
[01:55] <santh> when i tried to open an drive it says unable to mount what   do to
[01:55] <don_pucci> i dont know how rob
[01:56] <aladinsane> thor: by the way, how do i find out the mount point?
[01:57] <robdig> don_pucci: checking, but not sure if I know where they are
[01:57] <JOINERIC> #kickassanime
[01:57] <thor> aladinsane: you pick one. Make a directory in your home directory, or in the root directory, and use it
[01:57] <dana_bad> in case anyone wanted to know: helix player is what you want to play RM files
[01:57] <thor> aladinsane: for instance, my ntfs drives mount to /windows/D and /windows/.E
[01:57] <thor> aladinsane: you can put that new drive space anywhere in your directory tree
[01:58] <FreezerThief> ok, I have a problem with a nvidia graphics card not working at all - I tried using apt-get install nvidia-glx followed by sudo nvidia-glx-config enable, but to no avail - any suggestions? - I can't even start X with the current situation
[01:58] <brandon_> hey - .deb packages are trying to default to ARK and other zip file type things, what gives?

[01:59] <jamiesss> i have ubunut on my laptop with nvidia
[01:59] <jamiesss> worked v well
[01:59] <crdlb> FreezerThief: did you ever try to use the nvidia installer or other 3rd party installer?
[01:59] <emiliano> I have to compile a kernel. Which  processor family do I have to choose for an Intel Centrino Duo?
[02:00] <sizzam> i feel like my system is running a lot slower than it should be (first time installing gutsy on this machine).   anyone have some benchmarking suggestions?
[02:00] <AngryElf> Is there any way to change the white lines that change up when fast forwarding or changing volume to something...nicer?
[02:00] <robdig> don_pucci: do you know what brand of wireless card you have?
[02:00] <FreezerThief> crdlb: yes, I've tried that before. booting into windows works, and booting ubuntu in safe graphics mode works, but not via regular boot
[02:01] <jamiesss> FreezerThief check out envy
[02:01] <atriv> hey all. if im setting up my own home webserver and i want to associate my web domain with it and not just a redirect, what are the steps toward achieving that?
[02:01] <crdlb> FreezerThief: if you used the nvidia installer, there's pretty much no way you're going to get the nvidia-glx package working
[02:01] <jamiesss> use the uninstaller first
[02:01] <jamiesss> then install
[02:02] <jamiesss> i got xgl workin with envy with compiz
[02:02] <jamiesss> workd very well
[02:02] <crdlb> until there's a kernel upgrade ;)
[02:02] <MilitantPotato> I'm trying to see all the files owned by root in my ~/ directory, how do I get dir to list paths?
[02:02] <aladinsane> thor: sudo mount /dev/sdc1[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstabmount: mount point /media/HDD2 does not exist
[02:02] <MilitantPotato> the command I've done so far is dir -RZCd --lcontext | grep -R root
[02:02] <FreezerThief> jamiesss: thanks, I'll try
[02:02] <MilitantPotato> it lists them, just without paths
[02:02] <crdlb> MilitantPotato: ls -l
[02:03] <sizzam> how can i view my detected CPU speed and cache?
[02:03] <MilitantPotato> thanks
[02:03] <crdlb> MilitantPotato: you could safely chown the whole directory
[02:03] <crdlb> since everything in your home directory should be owned by you
[02:04] <nanbud1> Are we any near to making gutsy bug free on athlon computers? freezeups and corrupted graphics?
[02:04] <aladinsane> thor: what o arth does that mean?

[02:06] <djlenoir> from the research i have done, it seems that it has something to do with PolicyKit not being included with gutsy any my error is an intentional behavior from the maintainer of HAL Martin Pitt.
[02:06] <MilitantPotato> ah man I just deleted my pidgin config
[02:06] <daftman> hi does anyone has trouble with eclipse on ubuntu?
[02:06] <atriv> can anyone help me out, im trying to set up a web server on my ubuntu box, but i don't like redirecting to my IP and then having that IP in the web browser, whats involved in getting it set up so it reports the hostname?
[02:06] <Vovk> hey, can somebody help me with this evolution/mail problem? I'm trying to set up an account for my grandpa (he's here for a month) who uses shaw. I've entered in all the data I can, and he can receive messages using evolution, but he cannot send them. I've tried entering the full name of the send server (shawmail.rd.shawcable.net) but I still can't get it to work.    I have no experience configuring routers and firewalls, so any help wou
[02:06] <Vovk> ld be appreciated
[02:06] <crdlb> nanbud1: what does "lspci | grep VGA" say?
[02:06] <nanbud1> the freeze ups happens when hard disk comes under load, like two programs trying to startup or downloading something
[02:06] <nanbud1> just a moment i ll chk
[02:07] <jake_> I've had an issue for a while. I have an older machine (eMachines W4885) that will not boot Ubuntu - alt disk or regular disk. It simply reads the CD during bootup but then goes on to boot from the hard disk. I believe I have everything set up correctly in the bios, as some distros (Mandriva, SUSE, Puppy) boot fine.
[02:07] <robdig> don_pucci: can you try lspci | grep -i wireless
[02:07] <Shadix> MilitantPotato: Weapon of Mashed DESTRUCTION
[02:07] <atriv> Vovk: make sure you check if you have to enable login for outgoing mail
[02:07] <santh> how to enable universe repository
[02:07] <MilitantPotato> :P
[02:07] <Vovk> atriv: in preferences?
[02:07] <nanbud1> it says this:   01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
[02:08] <atriv> Vovk: yeah, a lot of isps require that you login prior to sending mail through their servers
[02:08] <crdlb> nanbud1: there are no good drivers for that card :(
[02:08] <Vovk> atriv: pretty sure he's logged in, but I'll check agian
[02:08] <atriv> also, you might have trouble if you're not on a shaw connection
[02:08] <josiahw> what is the command to get all files and folders in a directory 777 permission? sudo chmod 777 -a directoryname?
[02:09] <jake_> Any ideas? I'd really prefer Ubuntu on this system, since it is my main desktop
[02:09] <nosklo> josiahw: you can always use man pages to this kind of doubt, like in: man chmod
[02:09] <nanbud1> crdlb: do u think the freeze ups could be because of this card too?
[02:09] <soek> hi
[02:09] <nosklo> josiahw: to do what you want is chmod -R
[02:09] <Vovk> atriv: do you know where I can enable that? I can't seem to find it listed anywhere... looking under edit>preferences
[02:09] <soek> were can I download pidgin for ubuntu?
[02:09] <crdlb> nanbud1: that would be my guess
[02:09] <josiahw> nosklo: Im looking at the man page right now... thats what I thought thank you
[02:10] <jamiess> FreezerThief remove any packages in ur applications add or remove 2 do with nvidia first
[02:10] <atriv> Vovk: let me take a look. one sec
[02:10] <mosibfu> hi i have a biiig problem, in the past 3 days my fps in the (wine) game counter-strike has dropped from 400 to not even 100 stabile... and im going crazy
[02:10] <nanbud1> can anything be done? like adding something extra in my hardware? maybe some cheap extra,but reliable card?
[02:10] <FreezerThief> yeah, I removed nvidia-glx, jameiss
[02:10] <soek> were can I download pidgin for ubuntu?
[02:10] <jake_> soek: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[02:10] <jake_> ?
[02:11] <soek> no
[02:11] <crdlb> nanbud1: well yes you could get a cheap nvidia card or something
[02:11] <MilitantPotato> soek: one second.
[02:11] <soek> it doesn't work
[02:11] <Vovk> soek: the repositories - try sudo apt-get install pidgen
[02:11] <Vovk> soek: pidgin
[02:11] <soek> nope
[02:11] <jake_> soek: what is the error?
[02:11] <crdlb> !doesntwork | soek
[02:11] <ubotu> soek: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[02:11] <nanbud1> crdlb: nvidia card would takeover the function of all the graphics? i mean with that in place the present card would not be used by the OS?
[02:11] <Vovk> soek: it's in the add/remove programs list
[02:11] <Shadix> lol
[02:12] <daftman> does anybody else have problem with eclipse?
[02:12] <crdlb> nanbud1: there's often an option in the BIOS menu to deactivate the builtin video chip
[02:12] <MilitantPotato> soek: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=613049
[02:12] <crdlb> although even if you don't do that, you can manually configure it to use the new card
[02:12] <nanbud1> crdlb: Ah! BIOS, i ll check it out. just so that i understand better, this present card is built in on the motherboard right?
[02:12] <_demonspork_> GParted always takes a long time to scan all the devices, why would it take so long. sometimes it just locks up and never finishes scanning the devices
[02:13] <crdlb> nanbud1: yup
[02:13] <nanbud1> crdlb: thanks so much for the help, i appreciate it. i ll try out the solution
[02:13] <jamiess> anyone use blueprint 4 linux ?

[02:18] <nantax> okay thanks, how do i set the power saver time?
[02:18] <zander> I'm looking for help finding a Spanish dictionary for Open Office's Word processor
[02:18] <_demonspork_> MilitantPotato, how many partitions do you have ?
[02:18] <MilitantPotato> snowdonkey: But resizing is very risky, if you've not backed up everything on that physical drive i wouldn't do it
[02:18] <atriv> Vovk: bit out of my scope sorry
[02:18] <Vovk> atriv: no problem.. thanks for the help
[02:18] <MilitantPotato> _demonspork_: about 12
[02:18] <atriv> np
[02:18] <lastelement0> does the "cube" work for only 4 workspaces?
[02:18] <don_pucci> anyone here know how to install netowrk drivers in ubuntu
[02:18] <snowdonkey> millitantPotato It's a  brand new laptop, just bought toda, no data on it
[02:18] <don_pucci> wireless network drivers
[02:18] <ricanelite> because i have the latest drivers installed which are the restricted drivers and not the opensource ones
[02:18] <Vovk> lastelement0: it works for up to 19 on my computer
[02:18] <_demonspork_> ah, that could be it, because I have 6 or 7
[02:18] <MilitantPotato> snowdonkey: are you sure? I installed plenty while running the live CD
[02:18] <_demonspork_> MilitantPotoato
[02:19] <lastelement0> Vovk: so you have 19 or so panels on ur cube?
[02:19] <ArthurArchnix> I got tired of waiting for my computer to resume from standby, so I just hardpowered down. Now I can't start up ubuntu. It looks like it's refusing to mount, but it's hard to tell because things are flying by so fast.
[02:19] <matthew> any ideas on this error when trying to run an apt-get install?  E: tzdata: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
[02:19] <djlenoir> manymore, ubuntu, as nice as it is can really humble you :/
[02:19] <Vovk> lastelement0: lol... i was just playing with the settings to see how high it could go, but yes, I got it to form a ring of 19 panels
[02:19] <ArthurArchnix> It ends up with a screen saying 'X' can't start, this terminal has been disabled, and I have to switch to another terminal to login
[02:19] <snowdonkey> MilitantPotato: Yeah.  Looking online there's supposed to be Resize option but it's not in the installer.  Can I just put a smaller MB size in the manual partition?
[02:19] <djlenoir> manymore, have to get used to this auto respond feature... sorry was not intended for you directly ;)
[02:20] <zander>  I'm looking for help finding a Spanish dictionary for Open Office's Word processor
[02:20] <MilitantPotato> snowdonkey: is the drive partitioned at all?
[02:20] <lastelement0> Vovk hmm cuz i was messing around with it earlier yet i had lost my top and bottom panel and couldnt do anything
[02:20] <lastelement0> i could go to different workspaces
[02:20] <don_pucci> anyone here know how to install wireless network drivers?
[02:20] <don_pucci> anyone here know how to install wireless network drivers
[02:20] <don_pucci> whoops
[02:20] <lastelement0> but not do anything on them
[02:20] <Vovk> lastelement0: first of all, are you using beryl or compiz fusion
[02:20] <dimeotane> anyone have any idea why suddenly i need to use "sudo ifdown eth1" and "sudo ifup eth1" now after each reboot to get wireless to work?  or how to fix it?
[02:20] <MilitantPotato> snowdonkey: if the drive has nothing usefull on it, might as well delete all the partitions and manually enter the sizes
[02:21] <lastelement0> vovk compiz fusion
[02:21] <Vovk> lastelement0: ok, do you have the compiz-config settings manager installed?
[02:21] <MilitantPotato> lastelement0: Nvidia card?
[02:21] <lastelement0> vovk ys
[02:21] <lastelement0> **yes
[02:21] <lastelement0> MilitantPotato: nope ati x1400 (dell laptop)
[02:21] <Vovk> lastelement0: so what is the problem? you no longer have a top or bottom to your cube?
[02:22] <MilitantPotato> lastelement0: did you install XGL?
[02:22] <lastelement0> yes i did
[02:22] <lastelement0> Vovk: if i have more than 4 workspaces...it doesnt show on the cube
[02:22] <MilitantPotato> did you lose window boarders also?
[02:22] <djlenoir> i give up... going to copy everything from my NTFS partition to my linux partition folder that I shared and gradually move it all to my other system using that share... boy, talk about doing things the hard way! :P
[02:23] <lastelement0> like i hit some key combo and it seemd to "shift" to another set of workspaces but all it was, was my background
[02:23] <lastelement0> and i had no ability to do anything on it
[02:23] <soek> were can I download pidgin for ubuntu? like, is there an easy way to do it?
[02:23] <Vovk> lastelement0: aah.. i know what the problem is
[02:23] <sainzeo> my cdrom keeps mounting to cdrom0 not cdrom - how do I switch this? in fstab it is listed as cdrom, but still continues to come up as cdrom0
[02:23] <MilitantPotato> soek: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=613049 :)
[02:23] <Vovk> soek: yes, it's in the add/remove applications box. check it off and away you go
[02:24] <matthew> HOw do you fix the TZDATA problems/
[02:24] <matthew> ?
[02:24] <soek> MilitantPotato: that doesn't work
[02:24] <MilitantPotato> soek: I'll see if there's a .deb package on a trustworthy site
[02:24] <dimeotane> anyone use wifi-radar?
[02:24] <MilitantPotato> soek: worked fine for me.
[02:24] <MilitantPotato> and my wife
[02:24] <soek> Vovk: It isn't in the add/remove program list
[02:24] <lastelement0> isnt pidgin installed by default on gutsy?
[02:24] <soek> MilitantPotato: thank you
[02:24] <MilitantPotato> lastelement0: yes
[02:24] <soek> please do checkl
[02:24] <Vovk> soek: have you enabled the universal repositories?
[02:24] <MilitantPotato> Soek are you on feisty?
[02:24] <soek> I don't know how too
[02:24] <soek> I am on fiesty
[02:24] <MilitantPotato> ah thats why
[02:24] <MilitantPotato> let me dig up a .deb
[02:25] <Vovk> lastelement0: when you increased your desktops, did you increase the number of desktops or the horizontal virtual size?
[02:25] <lastelement0> vovk i believe i increased desktops
[02:25] <Vovk> lastelement0: if you increase the desktops, then you will get an error, since the cube is really one desktop with a number of virtual desktops
[02:25] <corrosione> need help installing
[02:25] <jared_> what is the xserver for xgl on ati?
[02:25] <Vovk> lastelement0: you need to set desktops to 1 and then horizontal size to what you want
[02:25] <jared_> so I can run compiz-fusion
[02:25] <lastelement0> vovk: oooo so then whats the desktops then?
[02:25] <jared_> I upgraded from fesity to gutsy
[02:26] <corrosione> if someone could pm me and answer a few questions i would be thxful
[02:26] <lastelement0> like what is it do if i increase the desktops?
[02:26] <jared_> !ati
[02:26] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:26] <jared_> !atixgl
[02:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about atixgl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:26] <geju> does anyone have an x60 running 7.10?
[02:26] <Vovk> vovk: the desktops are completely seperate cubes and such... i think they are supposed to be used like the extra slides in the enlightenment window manager
[02:26] <buttercups> jared_, xserver-xgl
[02:26] <Vovk> lol
[02:27] <Vovk> lastelement0: the desktops are completely seperate cubes and such... i think they are supposed to be used like the extra slides in the enlightenment window manager
[02:27] <FreezerThief> quick question: how do you install a local .deb? I can't remember the command
[02:27] <MilitantPotato> soek: http://packages.debian.org/sid/pidgin     and more coming.
[02:27] <lastelement0> vovk: interesting....hm is there a way to have a workspace displayed on the top and/or bottom of the cube?/
[02:27] <Vovk> lastelement0: i really don't understand why the extra desktops are not also virtual desktops. I think they are a more fundamental subset of the computer
[02:27] <sainzeo> my cd-drive keeps mounting to cdrom0 instead of cdrom, how do i change this?
[02:28] <buttercups> FreezerThief, sudo dpkg -i nameofthepackage.deb, or double click it
[02:28] <dimeotane> anyone know how to set an ascii WEP key in wifi-radar?
[02:28] <FreezerThief> thanks
[02:28] <Vovk> lastelement0: i haven't found a way to do that yet, although if you disable the cube and enable the wall, you can have a huge number of side by side workspaces
[02:28] <MilitantPotato> crdlb: what's the difference between SID and Lenny?
[02:28] <GriZzlE> Hello I need help setting up sudo can anyone give me a hand?
[02:28] <Th0rnSkurge> I installed apache and mod-perl on 7.10 but it never created a cgi-bin, did this change in the last few years?
[02:28] <lastelement0> vovk: i think i managed to get to this extra desktop somehow but i was unable to get back
[02:29] <Vovk> lastelement0: try the desktop switcher in one of your panels... go to the leftmost one
[02:29] <Th0rnSkurge> I chmod 755 test.cgi and it does not run server side
[02:29] <lastelement0> ok
[02:29] <ubuntu-j> I've taken a look at Ubuntu-JeOS, and tested it a little in VM Ware. Is there any likelihood of a 64-bit edition soon?
[02:29] <corrosione> i start boot to the ubuntu cd and it gives me errors...it then proceeds to load to the cd...once there i cant make out the text...but i click install anyway..next, next, next, starting up partioner...i cant make out the text except for resize partition...but ii have another os on my hd and i have two partions..is there a safe way to tell it to install on the partition with no os..without being about to read the text
[02:29] <Th0rnSkurge> #!/usr/bin/perl etc, it is there, I must be missing something
[02:29] <MilitantPotato> soek: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/pidgin
[02:30] <crdlb> MilitantPotato: sid is unstable and lenny is testing, it takes packages a few weeks of testing to get from sid to lenny
[02:30] <MilitantPotato> soek: don't get the SID one I sent.
[02:30] <MilitantPotato> crdlb: thanks :)
[02:30] <nathan__> howdy
[02:31] <corrosione> anyone?
[02:31] <kc> anyone help me answer why virtualbox will not capture my usb?? or should i just go to VMware
[02:31] <Vovk> lastelement0: ooo, this is cool. if you enable the *expo* mode and hotkey it to the top left of your screen, then enable the cube and increase the vertical size, you can have as many seperate cubes as you have vertical panels. you can switch between them by going into expo mode
[02:31] <crazyrk> hi, can someone help me ?
[02:31] <soek> thank you MilitantPotato
[02:31] <nathan__> I'm stuck in a ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode loop, I've tried reconfiguring xserver-xorg and that's not fixing it x.x
[02:32] <nathan__> any ideas?
[02:32] <ceil420> is there a way to not make my joystick input lag? at first i thought it was just the game, but input is laggy in jscalibrator too ;/
[02:32] <MilitantPotato> soek: did you get the message about using the lennys and not SIDS?
[02:32] <crazyrk> hi, im having problems with dual-booting with GRUB on ubuntu, can someone help me ?
[02:32] <soek> MilitantPotato: I don't even know what that means
[02:32] <JPSman> !sound
[02:32] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[02:32] <FreezerThief> another quick noobish question: is there a way to install a local .deb with dpkg, download/install all dependecies at the same time?
[02:32] <soek> MilitantPotato: could you just link me to the correct .deb?
[02:33] <LjL> FreezerThief: use gdebi
[02:33] <MilitantPotato> soek: get it from here http://packages.debian.org/lenny/pidgin
[02:33] <FreezerThief> thanks
[02:33] <MilitantPotato> soek: and the data file from http://packages.debian.org/lenny/pidgin-data
[02:33] <sirdork> Can someone please Help me get the sound working on my laptop
[02:33] <soek> what do I do with that MilitantPotato
[02:33] <nathan__> I'm stupid in low-graphics mode, still pretty new at linux, I've tried a few suggested fixes with no luck, any suggestions?
[02:33] <lastelement0> vovk whrers expo mode lol
[02:34] <MilitantPotato> soek: download and open them, do pidgin-data first
[02:34] <GriZzlE> Can anyon help me with finding my NIC in ubuntu?
[02:34] <soek> MilitantPotato: is there an easir way to do this?
[02:34] <nathan__> Anyone know how to fix the stuck in low-graphics mode error?
[02:34] <MilitantPotato> soek: this is it, .debs are just open and click install.
[02:34] <crdlb> MilitantPotato: why are you having him do this?
[02:34] <xracer> hello everyone
[02:34] <MilitantPotato> crdlb: he's on feisty?

[02:34] <xracer> trying to get some help
[02:34] <crdlb> oh

[02:34] <xracer> trying to cahnge the res with an Nvidia card
[02:34] <nathan__> Yep
[02:35] <Vovk> lastelement0: lol... it's in the same thing as the cube option. It creates a set of panels representing all of your desktops
[02:35] <Vovk> anyway... g'night all
[02:35] <xracer> night
[02:35] <nathan__> My resolutions were fine with my geforce 7950
[02:35] <nathan__> then I downloaded latest drivers from nvidia
[02:35] <jake_> ok
[02:35] <jake_> so no ideas?
[02:35] <nathan__> installed them.
[02:35] <xracer> I am stuck at 800x600 :(
[02:35] <nathan__> now i'm stuck in low-graphics mode
[02:35] <nathan__> and can't get out.
[02:35] <nathan__> it just loops.
[02:35] <kc> is there anyone on here who can tell me why virtualbox doesnt capture usb or if it does tell me how to make it so, also does vmware allow you to capture usb and if so how do i go about geting it?
[02:35] <atlfalcons866> 3
[02:35] <lastelement0> vovk im there but i see no option for expo
[02:36] <xracer> same here stuck at low res
[02:36] <nathan__> what card?
[02:36] <nathan__> I have a nvidia geforce 7950, 512 ram.
[02:36] <xracer> nvidia  8400 i believe let me double check
[02:36] <jake_> I've had an issue for a while. I have an older machine (eMachines W4885) that will not boot Ubuntu - alt disk or regular disk. It simply reads the CD during bootup but then goes on to boot from the hard disk. I believe I have everything set up correctly in the bios, as some distros (Mandriva, SUSE, Puppy) boot fine.
[02:37] <nathan__> I've tried all the suggestions google could come up with for the error, and I'm lost.
[02:37] <nathan__> So I decided to check this out.
[02:37] <xracer> Gforce 8400M Gt
[02:37] <nathan__> Yeah
[02:37] <ceil420> is there a way to not make my joystick input lag? at first i thought it was just the game, but input is laggy in jscalibrator too ;/
[02:37] <nathan__> So when your gdm comes up, is that when you get the error?

[02:50] <meoblast001> where is the binutils directory?
[02:50] <jake_> okay, does anyone else know how to find the /dev of my external floppy?
[02:50] <MilitantPotato> MTecknology: try sudo infront

[02:51] <tritty> Hi, I have just installed 7.10, and am connecting it to my home windows network. I am able to connect to the other computers hard drives, but cannot access the internet, can somebody help me please?

[02:52] <self_up> mosibfu: mudora is repeating a question, aren't you going to lecture him?
[02:52] <mudore> robdig, thx

[02:57] <meoblast001> my question is way off screen now
[02:57] <MilitantPotato> soek: run this in terminal lsb_release -a
[02:57] <robdig> mudore: I don't think that makes a difference, but again, I'm unsure as I'm on 32 bits
[02:57] <whoopiedoopie> meoblast: it's ok, at least you're not off topic hehe
[02:57] <tritty> yuaoki: what about my router?
[02:57] <MilitantPotato> ah wait that doesn't out anything usefull

[02:58] <pgan> Hi, I'm trying to use a disk with Ubuntu installed on one computer inside another computer.  But the drivers are different, so is there a way to re-detect the hardware and install the appropriate drivers?
[02:58] <Jordan_U> My sceen is frozen but according to an ssh session from another computer I can restart X successfully, it's just that nothing on the actuall monitor changes
[02:58] <tritty> yuaoki: I am running the computer dual boot, and can access the internet when i boot in windows so i dont think thats the problem
[02:58] <yuaoki_> anyone have a good IRC channel for torrent talk?
[02:58] <Rencore_> libwnck-1.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory i keep getting that when trying to run avant-window-navigator

[02:59] <IdleOne> yuaoki_: #torrent maybe
[02:59] <nbliang> anyone here know how to change the screen refresh rate? The default install of my ubuntu can detect and set the refresh rate correctly, but after activate the compiz with nvidia driver, the refresh rate changed and my screen will flicker once in a while and sometimes very frequently.
[02:59] <systemd0wn> anyone have a deb package made for new KTorrent 2.2.3 and Gutsy i386?
[02:59] <nbliang> i tried to change it using "nvidia-settings" and apply and save the changes, but the refresh rate still not correct after i restart X or the entire machine.
[02:59] <yuaoki_> tritty- from ubuntu?

I am a bit nervous about google sync, even though they promised not to be evil.
[03:01] <tritty> yuaoki: yes i can ping ubuntu.com whilst in the 7.10 OS
[03:01] <oj> how do i uninstall screenlets?

[03:04] <Drayveal> Can someone please help me with my splash screen? I have AMD64 Ubuntu 7.10, when I disable the splash in the kernel it DOES display the text, but no splash when enabled
[03:04] <MilitantPotato> oj: how did you install it?
[03:04] <Shadix> werd i have a similar prob
[03:05] <hal9k2010> hello room
[03:05] <robdig> jeduan: you can download the cd over the network as an ISO image, mount it, and install from the ISO image.
[03:05] <Shadix> I disabled my splash and it works the way it should but when enabled I get a blank and my screen goes to dleep
[03:05] <oj> MilitantPotato: downloaded it from the website manually and installed it by following the instructions in the readme file
[03:05] <jeduan> robdig, is there any guide to do it?
[03:05] <hal9k2010> need some help installing flash player in firefox

[03:07] <soek> MilitantPotato: thank you so much for all your help
[03:07] <jrib> hal9k2010: install the "flashplugin-nonfree" package from the multiverse repository
[03:07] <Jordan_U> hal9k2010, Just go to a page that need flash and let Firefox install it for you
[03:07] <hal9k2010> i downloaded the flash installer but no idea on using
[03:07] <MilitantPotato> soek: save them to your desktop,
[03:07] <Drayveal> Shadix: does your screen look like its disconnected from the system when you boot up? until you log in?
[03:07] <MilitantPotato> nvm :D
[03:07] <hal9k2010> nope
[03:07] <jrib> Jordan_U: did that work in 6.06?
[03:07] <systemd0wn> Anyone? deb file for KTorrent 2.2.3
[03:07] <hal9k2010> i try that
[03:08] <Jordan_U> jrib, Yes
[03:08] <Shadix> drayveal, what do you mean disconnected? i get a bunch of lines that lets me know what it's booting line by line
[03:08] <joe_> buttercups, i tried that earlier it didnt work
[03:08] <Jordan_U> jrib, It didn't use apt like 7.10 does, but the newest version of flash isn't available in apt for Dapper anyway
[03:08] <yuaoki_> tritty- still there?
[03:09] <Jordan_U> hal9k2010, What happened when you tried it?
[03:09] <Shadix> drayveal, or do you mean that it look like you monitor isn't pluged in to your vid card
[03:09] <jrib> Jordan_U: ah right, it installed to ~
[03:09] <IdleOne> rencore_: You need to switch to the gutsy AWN repository. Open /etc/apt/sources.list, remove the old line, add the new one from the guide, save and exit. Now open a terminal and do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:09] <IdleOne> rencore_: I assume you just upgraded correct?
[03:09] <xtlosx> man i must be having this weird odd ball problem with ubuntu
[03:09] <hal9k2010> nothing  i went to you tube and the site ask for the player but dont offer to install it
[03:09] <xtlosx> because no one seems to be answering me :)
[03:10] <sethk> xtlosx, what is the problem?
[03:10] <robdig> jeduan: you can download it at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download. Believe there are instructions there also
[03:10] <xtlosx> I did the regular updates, and then I went to use audacious to play some music.. The first song plays, the next song.. .locks up and have to kill -9 it... VLC, I go to play a movie, I can't adjust the volume, but I can make it full screen, the when I un full screen, it locks up and I have to kill -9 it.........
[03:10] <rencore_> IdleOne, no i have the gutsy repo and everything i just removed kubuntu after deciding i did not like it and then awn would not work so i tried all of those solutions after googling and no luck
[03:10] <xtlosx> Another weird observation I have made, when I go into preferences, sound, and then test sound playback or something, first beep goes off, I hit OK, then I try to test another one, and it locks up like audacious does after playing the first song.. It seems like the second time I try to use sound, it locks up the application using that sound stream....
[03:10] <IdleOne> xtlosx: not every one knows all the answers or they might be busy doing other stuff . need to be patient
[03:10] <xtlosx> oh I know i am patient :)
[03:10] <xracer> hey guys
[03:10] <xracer> thanks for the help
[03:10] <GriZzlE> hey can anyone help me with trying to detect my NIC on 6.06?
[03:10] <Shadix> Drayveal: which is it?
[03:10] <IdleOne> rencore_: tryied re-installing?
[03:10] <IdleOne> tried*
[03:11] <xracer> i tried it before and it didn't work but now it worked :)
[03:11] <rencore_> IdleOne, reinstaling ubuntu or AWN?
[03:11] <Jordan_U> hal9k2010, When you go to this page what happens? http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/banana
[03:11] <IdleOne> awn
[03:11] <rencore_> IdleOne, yes
[03:11] <hal9k2010> let me see brb
[03:12] <xracer> Thanks MilitanPotato
[03:12] <sethk> xtlosx, that is odd.  My first response is to look for some incapatability between the sound server and the application.  That's quite vague, but it's easily tested.  If you kill the sound server, only one app can use sound at a time.  That's a good way to find out if the sound server is causing the problem, or if the problem happens even when the sound server isn't running.
[03:12] <xracer> well i am out see you later guys
[03:12] <IdleOne> does AWN have a irc channel ?
[03:12] <xtlosx> but it's the same app using the soudn
[03:12] <sethk> xtlosx, might be permission issues with accessing the sound directory; might have to run the app as sudo.  I'm not sure about that.
[03:12] <xtlosx> not like i have VLC, and audacious open at the same time..........
[03:12] <sethk> xtlosx, no, I wasn't saying that
[03:12] <sFEARs> !compile
[03:12] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[03:12] <theTrav> avast.  I've been playing around with my ubuntu boot a fair bit today.  I've got a few problems sticking around one which I really really need to solve.
[03:12] <theTrav> problem: I cannot browse files
[03:12] <sethk> xtlosx, if you are running the server, even if you have only one app, that app will use the server
[03:12] <xtlosx> wow, it works as sudo
[03:12] <hal9k2010> ask me for cookies
[03:12] <xtlosx> weird
[03:12] <xtlosx> audacious problem is fixed is I sudo audacious
[03:12] <jeduan> robdig, once I got the iso and mounted it, what do I do? choose to install over the same partition I'm running, or should I create a temporary partition?
[03:13] <theTrav> when I select a place from places, I don't get an error but no window pops up either
[03:13] <xtlosx> i didn't think about that.. I am in the sound group in /etc/group[
[03:13] <jrib> !who | hal9k2010
[03:13] <ubotu> hal9k2010: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[03:13] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Did you set a seperate home partition on install?
[03:13] <sethk> xtlosx, not sure I understand exactly why, though, as you said it plays for a while and _then_ hangs
[03:13] <IdleOne> rencore_: /join #awn and ask them
[03:13] <sethk> xtlosx, certainly odd
[03:13] <hal9k2010> sorry
[03:13] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, not sure waht that means
[03:13] <xtlosx> certainly is odd
[03:13] <xtlosx> ya vlc works too
[03:13] <xtlosx> with sudop
[03:13] <xtlosx> sudo
[03:13] <xtlosx> so a recent update broke this!
[03:14] <sethk> xtlosx, apparently.
[03:14] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, I'm running gibbon, I installed it in "the remaining unpartitioned space" after I had installed windows
[03:14] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Can you choose Places, Computer?
[03:14] <Jordan_U> hal9k2010, What about http://69.93.231.198/albino_flash0004/banana(www.albinoblacksheep.com).swf ? ( sorry )
[03:14] <sethk> xtlosx, at least now you have an idea where to start looking
[03:14] <xtlosx> wow
[03:14] <xtlosx> that pisses me off
[03:14] <xtlosx> so ridiculous... makes no sense.
[03:14] <yuaoki_> Whats the prefered ISP in the NW anyone?
[03:14] <jrib> !enter | xtlosx
[03:14] <ubotu> xtlosx: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:14] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, I can, and now I got something showing up on the task bar down the bottom
[03:14] <sethk> xtlosx, that's why you should never update without a reason, and run one release back on important machines
[03:14] <toresn> i would like to create a symlink between one directory (~/Music) to a directory on one of my external hds (/media/MUSIC)... how do i do this?  (I've recently made the switch from windows to linux)
[03:14] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, it was there for a while but now is gone, no window
[03:14] <xtlosx> well thanks guys :) I will wait for a response!
[03:15] <mosibfu> xtlosx: you  might want to tell the ppl that maintain the repository
[03:15] <sethk> xtlosx, other people will see the same problem
[03:15] <RaGzKiE> anyone knows how to install NN9 on ubuntu?
[03:15] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Try opening the things you see in places, then write back and let know which worked or not.
[03:15] <sethk> xtlosx, I would imagine a fix will appear fairly quickly
[03:15] <robdig> jeduan: hmm, I think a temporary partition so you don't overwrite the ISO image. Also helps in case you want to move any files from old install to new
[03:15] <onats> need some help to repair my dual boot. i just removed the hard drive of the linux installation,and when i put it back, its no longer detected..
[03:15] <jrib> toresn: ln -s TARGET NAME
[03:15] <jeduan> robdig, ok, thanks a lot! gonna try
[03:16] <Eric> onats: do you get a GRUB menu or go straight to windows?
[03:16] <utahvw>  where can i adjust the screen size for a full screen shell...like when i do ctl + alt+ f4 for example....the current font is huge and when i login the prompt is then off the screen
[03:16] <sizzam> i can't get my cd/dvd rom drive to detect any disks.   how do i see what ubuntu has detected that device as?
[03:16] <onats> eric, it now goes straight to windows.
[03:16] <toresn> jrib: NAME = ~/Music  in my case?
[03:16] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, it says "starting computer" when I choose computer, absolutely nothing happens when I chose "home folder" or any of the other folders within the top section.  When I choose cd or network, the same as computer happens
[03:16] <theTrav> search for files I get a window
[03:16] <onats> eric, before i removed the hdd, i a grub menu
[03:16] <theTrav> and I am able to search and find files that way
[03:16] <Eric> onats: just a second, I can help ya out...
[03:16] <jrib> toresn: yes, though if it already exists, you will want to delete it first
[03:17] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: in a terminal, type "gksudo nautilus"
[03:17] <RaGzKiE> how do i install netscape navigator on ubuntu?
[03:17] <sethk> sizzam, dmesg should show you the drive identification
[03:17] <sizzam> thanks sethk
[03:17] <sethk> sizzam, the same info will be in /var/log/messages
[03:17] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Does root file browser open?
[03:17] <theTrav> yes
[03:18] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Can you navigate around, choosing file system, and so on.
[03:18] <sizzam> utahvw, i think this post will point you in the right direction:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258484&highlight=vesafb
[03:18] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, it prompted me for a password, then output "Initializing gnome-mount extension" in the console, then gave me a background image that wasn't there before
[03:18] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: That's normal. Can you navigate around, open folders, and so on.
[03:18] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, I can browse the file system as normal
[03:18] <toresn> jrib: ty!
[03:19] <systemd0wn> anyone have a deb package made for new KTorrent 2.2.3 and Gutsy i386?

[03:19] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Sounds like your user name has some permission problems. The fact that you can do things as root suggests there's nothing wrong with the system. Let's see what groups you're a part of. Close down the window and terminal.
[03:19] <jeduan> robdig, just one more question, how would you recommend to erase the temporary partition without a cd drive?
[03:19] <Eric> onats: sorry about that, had to get something out of the oven.
[03:19] <onats> eric, pie?
[03:20] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: >system >administration >users and groups
[03:20] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, I closed those, but the background is still the chocolate one.  Ok, users and groups
[03:20] <Eric> onats: Hah, nah.  Toquitos...Anyway....You need to download the Super Grub Disk .iso and burn it to a CD.
[03:20] <sizzam> sirdork, what kind of soundcard do you have
[03:20] <utahvw> sizzam:BINGO!   thats what i was looking for....i thought it must be done in menu.lst....i am so used to lilo...lol...thanks!
[03:20] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Choose your username and choose properties or edit or something?
[03:20] <Shadix> is there a utility I can use to view my Partitions and increase or decrease them on the fly???
[03:20] <sizzam> utahvw, you're welcome, i had the same problem.   vesafb is the one that worked for me
[03:20] <adrianmonk> anyone got any hints on how to get ati drives working on amd64 on 7.10 ?
[03:20] <onats> eric, and then? what does it do?
[03:20] <robdig> jeduan: I'd suggest that you install into a new partition, once that is working well, then you can get rid of the old partition
[03:21] <adrianmonk> .... ati drivers, that is
[03:21] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, got it, it's properties
[03:21] <sirdork> sizzam it's an onboard nvidia one I'm on a laptop
[03:21] <onats> eric, i have the ubuntu cd installers. will these work/
[03:21] <utahvw> sizzam:gotta love these forums!
[03:21] <sizzam> sirdork, is it an Asus by any chance?
[03:21] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Go to the user privelages tab and let me know what you see checked under that tab
[03:21] <Eric> onats: I think there is actually a tutorial somewhere on the Ubuntu site...and no, you'll need to download this
[03:21] <Eric> onats: Give me a second to find the links
[03:21] <sirdork> sizzam it's a gatway
[03:21] <jeduan> robdig, won't gparted mess up with grub and get me on a difficult-to-boot state?
[03:21] <sizzam> sirdork, k, one sec
[03:21] <adrianmonk> i have the 8.42.3 driver installed, but the X server keeps using the (slow) xorg driver, no matter what i do!
[03:22] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, user privelages has everything except for: Allof use of fuse filesystems[snip], Send and receive faxes and use tape drives
[03:22] <jared_> how do you replace files with another file
[03:22] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, those three are unchecked
[03:22] <robdig> jeduan: not sure
[03:22] <g8rbyte> I need some help with getting my wireless to work can someone help me?
[03:22] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, do you want me to list the checked items?
[03:22] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, there isn't heaps of them, only 12
[03:22] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, so 15 privelages all up
[03:23] <jeduan> ok, so i'd better write down my grub lines then'
[03:23] <Shadix> is there a utility I can use to view my Partitions and increase or decrease them on the fly???
[03:23] <robdig> jeduan: agreed
[03:23] <nantax> where can i set the power option for xubuntu?
[03:23] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: That's good. Under advanced, what group is your name a part of?
[03:23] <z> I have 2 computers on the same lan, I'm using scp to copy my home directory over to the other so i can reformat... only problem is the scp terminal output is saying it's copied over some files about 5 times now
[03:23] <whabo> help: how do i get a Dock similar to MAC/apple?? what is the application called? can i find it on the package manager?
[03:23] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, main group: travis
[03:24] <theTrav> which is the same as my username
[03:24] <sizzam> sirdork, what does this command give you:   cat /proc/asound/cards
[03:24] <z> and i know for certain there is only one copy on my hard drive of the file being copied multiple times
[03:24] <nantax> the computer blanks the screen instead of showing the screensaver
[03:24] <mosibfu> whabo: try kiba-dock
[03:24] <sizzam> sirdork, i'm interested in the audio codec line
[03:24] <z> is there some explanation?
[03:24] <Eric> onats: here is a start.  It outlines what it does and where to get it.  Its small, so let me know when you get the image burned to a disk.  http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/SuperGrubDiskPage.html
[03:24] <korathe> question: My right alt key isn't working on my thinkpad. From 'xev' I found out that it's keycode is 113. I did xmodmap -e "keycode 113 = Alt_R" with no success... any help?
[03:24] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: That's good. Ok out of there and go back to user settings, now click on manage groups

[03:24] <whabo> mosibfu: thx
[03:24] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Find your user name and click properties
[03:24] <theTrav> done
[03:24] <omar> hello
[03:25] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, ok, group members are root and travis
[03:25] <Eric> onats: are you on the computer in question?
[03:25] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav... one sec.
[03:25] <z> maybe I should put it this way.... what's the easiest way to copy my home directory from one ubuntu computer to another
[03:25] <omar> i am trying to make a connection to remote server running ubuntu
[03:25] <z> rcp?
[03:25] <onats> eric, yes
[03:25] <omar> i make it by going into ubuntu menu Places->Connect to Server
[03:25] <lastelement0> whats a good editor for the Ruby language?
[03:25] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, oh, wait... those are the only listed group members, but they are unchecked
[03:26] <Eric> onats: ok,  let me know when you have got that burned or if you have any questions
[03:26] <nathan__> Is there anyone here with lots of graphic drivers experience? I've been stuck in a loop for about 4 hours now.
[03:26] <omar> and do ssh
[03:26] <Andaluz> hey, anyone know what I should have in my httpd.conf to get it to use PHP5? It appears to be empty
[03:26] <sizzam> sirdork, these are the instructions that should ultimately get that card working:   http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2013895&postcount=17
[03:26] <omar> try to connect using ssh
[03:26] <omar> it somehow doesnt work
[03:26] <korathe> lastelement0, vim, emacs, komodo, textmate, freeride, anything really
[03:26] <omar> can anyone help me with this
[03:26] <sirdork> sizzam thanks
[03:26] <MattJ> omar: Well what happens? An error message?
[03:26] <sizzam> sirdork, i have the same (or a similar) card, here is how i fixed on my laptop:   http://www.samlesher.com/ubuntu/installing-ubuntu-gutsy-on-an-asus-a7t-notebook-fix-sound-and-tty-terminal-resolution
[03:26] <lastelement0> korathe, do any of those  have syntax highlighting?
[03:26] <sizzam> sirdork, check the Fixing Sound part of that post
[03:27] <sirdork> ok tnks
[03:27] <korathe> lastelement0, almost all editors on Linux have at least syntax highlighting
[03:27] <omar> ahhh it says Opening and to stop this operation click cancel
[03:28] <nathan__> No matter what I do, every time I reboot ubuntu I get a ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode error, I've tried everything I can possibly think of, followed countless instructions, tried envy, followed the tutorial on ubuntu's website, I'm completely lost and still stuck in this loop, can anyone help?
[03:28] <omar> MattJ: it says Opening and to stop this operation click cancel
[03:28] <omar> omar:omar
[03:28] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Sorry, I realized this would take a while. Open a terminal instead and do: "groups user", but replace user with your username
[03:28] <whabo> guys i need a dock that is similar to apple/MAc what application should i get? im looking in teh package manager and teh add/remove feature i cant find anything.. THANK YOU
[03:28] <omar> omar: omar
[03:28] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: The output should be one line, you can paste here.
[03:28] <MattJ> omar: Can you try using ssh in Terminal?
[03:28] <omar> yea it works there
[03:29] <MattJ> omar: Hmm
[03:29] <nathan__> No matter what I do, every time I reboot ubuntu I get a ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode error, I've tried everything I can possibly think of, followed countless instructions, tried envy, followed the tutorial on ubuntu's website, I'm completely lost and still stuck in this loop, can anyone help?
[03:29] <omar> the thing is i wanted this graphical thing
[03:29] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, travis : travis adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner lpadmin admin netdev powerdev
[03:29] <omar> i mean my firned set it up for me before
[03:29] <omar> like when i click on the folder on my machine
[03:29] <nathan__> What's it take to get help in here?
[03:29] <nathan__> :P
[03:29] <omar> it shows me the /home/omar folder on the remote machine
[03:29] <MattJ> omar:  Oh I see, to mount a folder through ssh...
[03:29] <jared_> Woo I found a somewhat likable theme!
[03:29] <MattJ> nathan__: Patience :)
[03:29] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: My initial suspicion would seem to be wrong. Your settings are fine.
[03:29] <omar> yea
[03:30] <nathan__> Should I keep posting my question, or just wait?
[03:30] <omar> i donno i am giving it the wrong port maybe
[03:30] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, if it helps, I was messing with xorg.conf when this occurred
[03:30] <nathan__> I'm rather new to looking for help in here.
[03:30] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, trying to set up on multiple monitors
[03:30] <crdlb> omar: what are you putting for "server"? (change the domain if you want)
[03:30] <MattJ> nathan__: Wait, don't repost (not for quite a while)
[03:30] <Eric> nathan__: Chill out a bit. ;)  Spamming questions doesn't help
[03:30] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: It's a place to start anyway, post the output of "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf" to pastebin.
[03:30] <MattJ> nathan__: ATI card?
[03:30] <nathan__> nvidia.
[03:30] <nathan__> 7950.
[03:30] <stormchoir> Hello everyone
[03:30] <omar> i am putting the ip of the machine thats it
[03:30] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Did you make a backup?
[03:30] <MattJ> nathan__: Gutsy?
[03:30] <Eric> nathan__: 7.10?
[03:31] <nathan__> yes
[03:31] <crdlb> omar: then 22 for port and /home/omar for folder?
[03:31] <Eric> nathan__: update or clean install?
[03:31] <omar> yes
[03:31] <nathan__> clean install.
[03:31] <Eric> nathan__: And the graphics have never been right?
[03:31] <stormchoir> What games do you guys run in Ubuntu?
[03:32] <nathan__> They were right on whatever default driver it started with, but I couldn't enable desktop effects, but I had the resolution and dual monitors.
[03:32] <nathan__> so I downloaded latest drivers from nvidia's site.
[03:32] <MattJ> omar: When you use ssh in Terminal, do you get any prompts before you enter your password?
[03:32] <nathan__> and got this problem.
[03:32] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45185/ and yes, I made a backup
[03:32] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, there's several backups in my x11 folder
[03:33] <whabo> guys i need a dock that is similar to apple/MAc what application should i get? im looking in teh package manager and teh add/remove feature i cant find anything.. THANK YOU
[03:33] <whabo> guys i need a dock that is similar to apple/MAc what application should i get? im looking in teh package manager and teh add/remove feature i cant find anything.. THANK YOU
[03:33] <Andaluz> anyone know the answer to my prob? i need to know what to put in my httpd.conf to get apache to use php5
[03:33] <whabo> thx
[03:33] <omar> MattJ : i am just prompted for the password
[03:33] <daurnimator> how do I install a .ko file so that it works automatically with modprobe?
[03:33] <Eric> nathan__: Go to System>Administration, Screens and Graphics
[03:33] <omar> when i am doing it through the termianl
[03:33] <MattJ> omar: Odd
[03:33] <nathan__> I'm there.
[03:33] <dwxreaper> andaluz: apt-get will install the php module and configure apache for it
[03:33] <wally_> hello i posted a thread in the forum about mounting my ntfs harddrives, but i am still unable to view them http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611586&page=3  i was wondering if anyone could help?
[03:34] <omar> is it something to do with the port
[03:34] <Andaluz> dwxreaper, apt-get installed php5 but didn't configure apache for it
[03:34] <Eric> nathan__: get to the video driver listing
[03:34] <tyronepolleri> hello does anyone know how well does autocad run on xen ?
[03:34] <nathan__> ok
[03:34] <daurnimator> dwxreaper: you should be suggesting aptitude
[03:34] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: While I look at this, restore your backup and restart X. Doing this would be something like "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.recent" then "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf" replacing the filename xorg.conf.bak with your original backup. To restart X hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and be sure to close open work first.
[03:34] <MattJ> omar: 22 is used by default, by ssh in Terminal
[03:34] <nathan__> I'm in the listings.
[03:34] <Bikerbob> Looking for help installing to an external drive
[03:34] <axjv> Does anyone know how to fix the flickering in opengl apps when using compiz?
[03:34] <omar> MattJ: i donno i was able to use it couple of days back
[03:34] <dwxreaper> daurnimator: what he was doing worked with apt-get for me, i don't even know wtf aptitude is
[03:34] <omar> dammm
[03:35] <nantax> if i go to application -> accessories -> terminal, im being kicked back to the login screen
[03:35] <Eric> nathan__: Choose driver by model.  Find NVIDIA on the left, Geforce 7 Series on the right.  Click test.
[03:35] <nathan__> Last time I tried that it gave me a black screen I couldn't get out of
[03:35] <nathan__> so I may be a couple minutes before I'm back.
[03:35] <daurnimator> dwxreaper: the new replacement for apt-get. You should be suggesting people use it over apt-get
[03:35] <nathan__> one moment.
[03:36] <Eric> ok
[03:36] <MattJ> omar: I know another way to achieve the same goal, using a Terminal program
[03:36] <nantax> i set the resolution way too high yesterday and after running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , i can no longer run terminal from the accessories menu
[03:36] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, ok, I'll give that a shot, thanks for the help.  Hope to be back soon
[03:36] <nathan__> ok the test worked.
[03:36] <dwxreaper> darnimator: apt-get aptitude / nO DonT dO iT!
[03:36] <nathan__> on the propietory or whatever driver
[03:36] <dwxreaper> can you really do that, apt-get aptitude
[03:36] <nathan__> should I be on it or open source?
[03:36] <Eric> Click ok and get out of the dialogs.
[03:36] <Eric> Proprietary is what I'm using on my 7900GT
[03:37] <omar> MattJ : tell me please
[03:37] <nathan__> so a 7950 should be similar.
[03:37] <Eric> Yeah.
[03:37] <MattJ> omar: sudo aptitude install sshfs in Terminal (or use Synaptic, etc. to install it)
[03:37] <nathan__> ok so nvidia 7 series proprietary driver test seems to work.
[03:37] <Dev_Noob_> Hiya :>
[03:38] <Eric> Is it running correctly after you save those settings?  If not, restart X: alt+del+backspace
[03:38] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, do you know if there's any way for me to run whatever the places menu runs and see if it outputs an error?
[03:38] <jawee_> I got to the Smart Boot Manager with Ubuntu
[03:38] <MattJ> omar: Then create a folder, where you want the remote files to appear
[03:38] <jawee_> on a floppy
[03:38] <IdleOne> who asked about netscape navigator earlier?
[03:38] <omar> okay then
[03:38] <jawee_> I'm getting the error "Disk error! 0xAA" when I select CD0
[03:38] <theTrav> is it just running nautilus? or is it more complex than that?
[03:38] <omar> MattJ : what then
[03:39] <nathan__> ok, so after clicking test I should restart x?
[03:39] <nathan__> or should I log out then in and see if I can use a higher resolution
[03:39] <nathan__> ?
[03:39] <IdleOne> RaGzKiE: you still here
[03:39] <ArthurArchnix> dmesg?
[03:39] <Eric> nathan__: No, click ok and get out of those dialogs.  If it doesn't take effect then you should restart x,
[03:39] <MattJ> omar: In Terminal: sshfs user@ipaddress:remotefoldername localfoldername
[03:39] <ArthurArchnix> I take it restoring didn't help.
[03:40] <MattJ> omar: remote foldername might be /home/omar, etc.
[03:40] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Two comments above this line.
[03:40] <nathan__> ok, when I clicked test it flickered, then gave me my screen back.
[03:40] <nathan__> then I clicked ok.
[03:40] <MattJ> omar: and localfoldername is the folder you created on your PC
[03:40] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, I restored to the most recent backup but it didn't help
[03:40] <theTrav> don't know what dmesg is
[03:41] <kc> is there anyone on here doing any help topics?
[03:41] <Eric> If you are just at your desktop now, nathan__, restart x
[03:41] <nathan__> it says all users must log off for it to take effect.
[03:41] <nathan__> ok.
[03:41] <jawee_> ok
[03:41] <Dev_Noob_> Ok.  I edited xorg.conf to add 1280x1024, and when I ctrl-alt-backspace, it reloads and says "error loading HAL"
[03:41] <nathan__> ctrl alt backspace right?
[03:41] <jawee_> so no one knows how to get smart boot manager working?
[03:41] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: I'd create a new user, log in and see if the problem is gone. It might be faster than troubleshooting, though it's possible someone will give you a one second fix any second. It's impossible for me to say.
[03:41] <jawee_> I've tried about everything to get this system to boot Ubuntu
[03:41] <Eric> nathan__: yeah, if you've hit ok at all of the screen dialogs.
[03:41] <nathan__> ok.
[03:42] <Eric> jawee_: What is the problem?
[03:42] <saftle> ok, I've been reading alot of forums about this, and supposedly this is a typical error, but it is fixable, just haven't found the right solution for my maching. So far I have aiglx running with fglrx with my ati x1650. I'm able to use all of compiz-fusion effects. The only problem I'm having is the flickering whenever I open an app that uses opengl. Vlc had the same problem when loading videos, but I was able to go around with by changing output to X11.
[03:42] <saftle> any suggestions?
[03:42] <tyronepolleri> has anyone tried running AutoCad on a virtual machine?
[03:42] <Eric> tyronepolleri: I've read that its pretty buggy
[03:42] <jawee_> Eric: I'm getting the error "Disk error! 0xAA" when I select CD0
[03:42] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Open terminal and type in "dmesg" you can post the output to pastebin. Your xorg was very different from any I've seen. Don't know where to start or what to look for in it. Sorry.
[03:42] <Eric> tyronepolleri: oh..sorry...virtual machine...I was thinking wine.
[03:42] <jawee_> Eric: On the smart boot manager 3.7.1
[03:42] <MasterShrek> tyronepolleri, theres an alternative to it in the repos iirc
[03:42] <lastelement0> can someone help me install freeride?
[03:42] <lastelement0> i've downloaded the tar
[03:42] <tyronepolleri> Eric: I have read that it does not run on wine
[03:43] <saftle> should I be asking this in compiz-effects?
[03:43] <lastelement0> and extracted to my desktop
[03:43] <Eric> jawee_: Can you not just do a stardard grub install?
[03:43] <tyronepolleri> MasterShrek: what is repos iirc?
[03:43] <MasterShrek> iirc = if i remember correctly
[03:43] <jawee_> Eric: This system is refusing to boot from the Ubuntu CD, though it will boot other Linux distros from CD
[03:43] <MasterShrek> !repositories
[03:43] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[03:43] <jawee_> Eric: So I thought I'd give this a try
[03:43] <MattJ> omar: Any luck?
[03:43] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45186/
[03:43] <Eric> jawee_: You don't get anything from the CD, or you can't load the actual OS part?
[03:44] <multiverse> I need to compile BIGMEM into my 7.10 Desktop, but I don't know how to do it.
[03:44] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, I'm trying the new user approach as well just to check it out
[03:44] <multiverse> Can anyone here help?
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> !compile
[03:44] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[03:44] <tyronepolleri> MasterShrek: Ok thank you, but i still want to know if it would run well on a virtual machine
[03:44] <jawee_> Eric: It skips the disk and goes to the next boot medium (hdd)
[03:45] <MasterShrek> tyronepolleri, i dont see why not, unless it requires 3d acceleration, i know it needs lots of ram though, so yo may run into issues there
[03:45] <prappl93> jawee_: Does your computer come with a company start screen that shows its name and a load meter?
[03:45] <tyronepolleri> The virtual machine emulated by Xin uses the real hardware or virtual hardware
[03:45] <Eric> jawee_: Alright.  Have you tried it in another system to make sure the disc is okay?
[03:45] <g8rbyte> need help with wifi card
[03:45] <jawee_> Eric: The system I am on now was installed with it
[03:45] <jawee_> prappl93: yes
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> jawee_: if it does not even try to boot then the cmos isnt looking at the cd or it is a bad burn.  How was the cd created?
[03:45] <nathan__> I'm back, same error, comes after the splash loading, and before the login screen.
[03:46] <caligarn1037> hi guys
[03:46] <prappl93> jawee_: Is there a thing in the corner that says something like "F12 - System Setup"
[03:46] <caligarn1037> can anyone tell me the difference between sudo apt-get and sudo apitutde?
[03:46] <jawee_> Jack_Sparrow: The CD works on this laptop. Thecomp will boot a Debian disk sitting right beside it
[03:46] <multiverse>  No difference.
[03:46] <Eric> prappl93: Other linux LiveCDs boot though
[03:46] <sethk> prappl93, usually says F1 for setup, F12 for boot menu
[03:46] <tyronepolleri> MasterShrek: I have two gb of ram I think that would be enough but i am not sure about my video card
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> caligarn1037: just different package managers.. anslo see synaptic
[03:46] <IdleOne> caligarn1037: aptitude tends ti remember dependencies a little better
[03:46] <jawee_> prappl93: It's Del. CD is set first
[03:46] <jawee_> prappl93: A Debian disk will boot fine
[03:47] <caligarn1037> dependencies?
[03:47] <prappl93> jawee_: I can't explain the problem then, I am on Dell and Ubuntu works
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> jawee_: iHow was the cd created?
[03:47] <jawee_> prappl93: This Dell works fine, so I know it should
[03:47] <sethk> jawee_, then it's almost certainly either a bad download or a bad burn
[03:47] <MasterShrek> tyronepolleri, your video card has nothign to do with it, your vm sofware will create a virtual video card, whish will not have 3d acceleration, and im not exaclty sure the requirements for autocad if it needs 3d acceleration
[03:47] <jawee_> Jack_Sparrow: k3b on SUSE
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> I have 4 dells that work fine
[03:47] <jawee_> sethk: I've tried every single version of Ubuntu since 5.04
[03:47] <caligarn1037> thanks
[03:47] <jawee_> sethk: and other distros work fine
[03:47] <Eric> jawee_: since it worked with other systems...have you tried an alternate cd?
[03:47] <tyronepolleri> MasterShrek: why?
[03:48] <jawee_> Eric: tried it last week to no avail
[03:48] <steed2008> hello all
[03:48] <jawee_> stupid emachines :\
[03:48] <sethk> jawee_, that's extremely odd.  One thing I always tell people is never to buy from Dell, for just this sort of reason.  Not just with linux, there is _always_ a problem with a Dell
[03:48] <MasterShrek> ?
[03:48] <tyronepolleri> MasterShrek: o i read it worng i am sorry ir need 3d aceleration
[03:48] <g8rbyte> How do I confirm my drivers work for my wireless card?
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> jawee_: Does the cd you made work in another pc?
[03:48] <IdleOne> caligarn1037: packages that other packages depend on. so lets say you want to install package A but it needs package BCD then aptitude remembers that and also installas it but for some reason you decide you dont like package A anymore and want to remove it aptitude will also remove package BCD as long as they are not needed by any other packages
[03:48] <MasterShrek> =P
[03:48] <sethk> jawee_, are the successful ones and this one burned in the same burner by the same program?
[03:48] <jawee_> sethk: It works fine on my Dell. This is an emachines
[03:48] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> is there any video editors in ubuntu?
[03:48] <multiverse> How do I enable 4 GB of memory in my 7.10 Desktop?
[03:48] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, hey a
[03:48] <tyronepolleri> does anyone know if the virtual machine emulated by Xin uses the real hardware or virtual hardware?
[03:48] <sethk> jawee_, I don't like them either  :)
[03:48] <MasterShrek> hello Evanlec
[03:49] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, aint seen u in a while where ya been?
[03:49] <steed2008> If i boot screensaver ,the x-windows will restart in my ubuntu 7.10 ,why?
[03:49] <sethk> jawee_, that's the machine that blows hot air _at_ the processor instead of away from it.  :)
[03:49] <jawee_> sethk: This particular CD was burnt with k3b. I've also tried ones from shipit and windows
[03:49] <CyberMatt> multiverse, get 64bit
[03:49] <g8rbyte> How do I confirm my drivers work for my wireless card?
[03:49] <wally_> hello i posted a thread in the forum about mounting my ntfs harddrives, but i am still unable to view them http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611586&page=3  i was wondering if anyone could help? please ?
[03:49] <Jack_Sparrow> jawee_: How much ram is on it
[03:49] <jawee_> Jack_Sparrow: 512MB.
[03:49] <sethk> jawee_, what I'm asking is whether it is manufactured CDs that work and, possibly, burned ones that do not
[03:49] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, here and there, busy with school n deer hunting
[03:49] <g8rbyte> How do I confirm my drivers work for my wireless card?
[03:49] <sethk> jawee_, I have seen that happen with certain hardware
[03:49] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, lol, deer hunting...where are u from
[03:49] <MasterShrek> minnesota
[03:49] <multiverse> Matt: too buggy
[03:49] <jawee_> sethk: Which is why I am trying Smart Boot Manager now...
[03:50] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, ah, we got that big out here, im from new hampshire
[03:50] <sethk> jawee_, ok
[03:50] <multiverse> Matt:  How do I compile it into the existing kernel?
[03:50] <tony_j> Live video feeds and sound will not work.
[03:50] <sirdork> sizzam that's not working
[03:50] <jawee_> sethk: But now its just throwing an error
[03:50] <sethk> jawee_, sounds like you've already tried all the obvious things, but, you know, we don't know that until we ask
[03:50] <MasterShrek> sweet
[03:50] <sethk> jawee_, what's the error?
[03:50] <CyberMatt> you need a 64bit host system
[03:50] <Eric> onats: how are things going?
[03:50] <jawee_> sethk: I'm getting the error "Disk error! 0xAA" when I select CD0
[03:50] <multiverse> I have one.
[03:50] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> :(
[03:50] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, im not running ubuntu anymore, im back on slamd64
[03:51] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, I just had a breakthrough
[03:51] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> you need a 64bit to get 4gb of ram right?
[03:51] <multiverse> No
[03:51] <Evanlec> multiverse, gutsy-64-bit is not "too buggy"
[03:51] <googlah> yep
[03:51] <CyberMatt> yes
[03:51] <multiverse> You can compile the kernel
[03:51] <MasterShrek> Metal-Maniac-Mat, i think so
[03:51] <sethk> jawee_, this is some kind of hardware issue.  Make sure you don't have an IDE drive hooked up like an EIDE drive.
[03:51] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, whatever for?
[03:51] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> yer
[03:51] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> same with win
[03:51] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> lol
[03:51] <CyberMatt> nope
[03:51] <multiverse> 32 bit server has kernel compiled with 4 GB RAM
[03:51] <sethk> jawee_, make sure you don't have a CS jumper and a master or slave jumper on the same IDE cable
[03:51] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, a complete power cycle and now I got an error message after logging in but can open file windows
[03:51] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> how to get all my 4gb then?
[03:51] <jawee_> sethk: Well, this drive can't burn CD's anymore
[03:51] <Eric> I read somewhere that 32-bit Linux is limited to 8GB RAM
[03:51] <Evanlec> multiverse, yea but thats a hack, why not use true 64-bit and use more than 4gb
[03:52] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, the error message is that there was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon
[03:52] <omar> MattJ: thanks
[03:52] <jawee_> sethk: I will check out the setup. If nothing else I can find another drive to swap it with
[03:52] <CyberMatt> AMD64 build
[03:52] <multiverse> Because 64 bit don't work well
[03:52] <sethk> jawee_, I'd replace the drive.  I know that's somewhat illogical, since other CDs boot, but I think it will work.
[03:52] <Evanlec> 32-bit kernsl can be compiled with the BIGMEM option to get up to 4GB of ram
[03:52] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, i dunno, i just seem to feel more comfortable in a slackware environment, i dont like all the automation that ubuntu has, and just little things here and there that i am used to i spose
[03:52] <oem> 谁能教教我在UBUNTU7。10下怎么用WINE 0。9。49安装和启动＜月影传说＞呀？有人会吗？我的QQ:402671625
[03:52] <Evanlec> multiverse, thats an ignorant statement, and simply not true
[03:52] <jawee_> sethk: I'll see what happends :D
[03:52] <sethk> jawee_, yes, that's advisable especially if you have some around
[03:52] <korathe> eric, 32 bit is limited to 4 gb
[03:52] <nathan__> You still available Eric?
[03:52] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, The last error message was: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-V2Kvz|WXIF: Connection refused
[03:52] <multiverse> Evanlec:  how?
[03:52] <CyberMatt> in Gutsy
[03:52] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> i can only see 3.5gb
[03:52] <CyberMatt> it does
[03:52] <Eric> jawee_: I'd pull the CD drive out of another system and give it a shot.
[03:52] <Evanlec> multiverse, have u tried gutsy 64-bit? try it and then tell me it "it don't work well"
[03:52] <multiverse> Evanlec:  don't be a retard
[03:52] <MasterShrek> multiverse, 64 bit works great
[03:52] <multiverse> I have
[03:53] <multiverse> And it doesn't work great
[03:53] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, so I've got something sort of working, it just looks like poo
[03:53] <multiverse> buggy as hell
[03:53] <jawee_> Eric: Yeah. About to put in a Sony CD burner
[03:53] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Did you install a different kernel?
[03:53] <sethk> multiverse, there are some applications that have problems in 64 bit, but it's not true that, as a blanket statement, 64 bit doesn't work
[03:53] <Evanlec> multiverse, what doesnt work ?
[03:53] <MasterShrek> multiverse, no u havent obviously, theres nothing wrong with 64 bit at all
[03:53] <Eric> korathe: I thought that was true.
[03:53] <Eric> nathan__: Yup.
[03:53] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, nope, not intentionally
[03:53] <Evanlec> multiverse, dont tell me flash doesnt work cuz it works perfectly
[03:53] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, and nothing new is in my boot menu
[03:53] <oem> 怎么没有人用过吗？
[03:53] <sethk> multiverse, there's a subset of apps that work, and it's a fairly substantial subset.
[03:53] <Shadix> Ok so what is this KDE thing and what exactly is the difference between Kubuntu and ubuntu
[03:53] <IdleOne> multiverse: dont be insulting. 64bit has issues with certain things and so does 32 bit
[03:53] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, I'm going to try re-starting X again
[03:53] <theTrav> back soon
[03:53] <multiverse> I was advised by a number of members of this forum that 64 bit is buggy
[03:53] <CyberMatt> multiverse,  when did you test dapper
[03:53] <korathe> desktops should be 32 bit
[03:53] <multiverse> I have had a number of driver issues
[03:53] <sethk> Shadix, two windowing systems, gnome (ubuntu) and KDE (kubuntu)
[03:53] <multiverse> You guys are being insulting
[03:53] <nathan__> Eric: I got the same error between the loading screen and the login screen.
[03:53] <MasterShrek> multiverse, i never had a problem in 64 bit ubuntu
[03:53] <sethk> Shadix, but that's not exactly real, because
[03:53] <sirdork> Help please this sound is driving me nuts trying to get it to work
[03:54] <Evanlec> multiverse, thats a myth that people still have...unfortunately
[03:54] <multiverse> Get some social skills please
[03:54] <jawee_> Hopefully I can get my 19" monitor working with Ubuntu
[03:54] <multiverse> Not a myth
[03:54] <Metal-Maniac-Mat> anyone here use frostwire?
[03:54] <_blitz_> I installed nvidia driver on gutsy and now the resolution is very poor.i checked the xorg.conf and found that a new file named xorg.conf.failsafe was created in /etc/X11(dont know where it came from).and my computer is loading the driver mentioned in xorg.conf.failsafe ie vesa.please help
[03:54] <sethk> Shadix, if you install ubuntu, you can also install kde, and if you install kubuntu, you can also install gnome
[03:54] <multiverse> serious problems with the 64 bit platform
[03:54] <CyberMatt> multiverse, no we aren't
[03:54] <MasterShrek> [21:52]  <multiverse> Evanlec:  don't be a retard
[03:54] <Evanlec> how do u claim its not a myth if u havent used and found the problems urself?
[03:54] <Shadix> ....O.o slightly confusing
[03:54] <sethk> Shadix, I used KDE; I install ubuntu and then use the package manager to install KDE
[03:54] <Eric> nathan__: what does the error say again?
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> multiverse: 64 in Feisty was a little buggy, but it is much better now
[03:54] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, hmm, damn, that worked
[03:54] <Shadix> sethk, what will change
[03:54] <multiverse> MasterShrek:  he accused me of an ignorant statement
[03:54] <IdleOne> multiverse: you were insulted by the word ignorant. that word is not insulting all it means is that you are not aware of all the facts
[03:54] <MasterShrek> it was ignorant
[03:55] <MasterShrek> nothing wrong with 64 bit
[03:55] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, no errors, everything appears to display correctly and I can open file browser windows
[03:55] <sethk> Shadix, the window manager.  There are a number of other window managers available, in addition to kde and gnome
[03:55] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, I'm back in the realm of superstitious computing >_<
[03:55] <multiverse> 64 bit was buggy when I installed
[03:55] <nathan__> Eric: Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode, then gives me options to configure, shutdown, or continue.
[03:55] <sethk> Shadix, essentiallly, only the user interface changes
[03:55] <Eric> I agree that 64-bit Gutsy is a lot better now.
[03:55] <sethk> Shadix, functionally they are equivalent.
[03:55] <Evanlec> multiverse, things have gotten much better, like day and night
[03:55] <Nemes> How can I write the output of a program to both terminal and a file?
[03:55] <Eric> nathan__: what are the options to configure?
[03:55] <CyberMatt> we are just adviseing you that you have outdated info
[03:55] <Shadix> sethk, so the window Manager is my gui?
[03:55] <sethk> Shadix, gnome and kde are both large resource consumers.  There are others that consume fewer resources and have fewer features.
[03:55] <sethk> Shadix, right
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Shadix: yes
[03:56] <nathan__> Eric: Same as System>Administration>Screens and Graphics
[03:56] <nathan__> Just takes me there.
[03:56] <sethk> Shadix, with X windows, the user interface is a separate layer, and thus you can plug in may available user interfaces
[03:56] <multiverse> Matt: maybe you people could be more polite:  avoid these wierd social attacks when delivering your infomraiton.
[03:56] <Shadix> I'm starting to get this.....
[03:56] <sethk> Shadix, there is even one that makes the machine look like windows, if you are sufficiently masochistic
[03:56] <Shadix> lol
[03:56] <Eric> nathan__: so its basically running in something like 640x480?
[03:56] <multiverse> Last time I tried 64 bit it was trash
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> multiverse: Please drop it..
[03:56] <nathan__> 800x600, but yeah low.
[03:56] <emma> What's wrong with it?
[03:56] <CyberMatt> Shadix, Xfce is your friend
[03:56] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, why slamd64 tho? if i do end up switching distros i think i'd go to Arch
[03:56] <multiverse> Why would I?
[03:57] <IdleOne> multiverse: it is offtopic
[03:57] <nathan__> 800x600 is max resolution.
[03:57] <Shadix> CyberMatt, what's so great about it?
[03:57] <Eric> If you go back to the driver selection, what is it running on?
[03:57] <emma> It's rude to talk about switching distros in here.
[03:57] <Evanlec> multiverse, okay, we got that, but u havent tried it now, and we're telling u its not trash at all now, and yet u still argue
[03:57] <steed2008> Ati can't use screenSaver in ubuntu 7.10 ????
[03:57] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, i dunno, im used to it i guess, i like slackware alot, and slamd64 is slackware ported to x86_64
[03:57] <_blitz_> nathan__I also have the same problem and my card is  nvidia.this happened after you installed the driver i think
[03:57] <multiverse> It's not off topic.  I am asking:  how do I compile BIGMEM into 7.10 Desktop?
[03:57] <nathan__> Vesa.
[03:57]  * emmajane waves at emma :)
[03:57] <emma> 'ello
[03:57] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, oh i see, makes sense
[03:57] <CyberMatt> great on low resource computer
[03:57] <nathan__> Yeah it did blitz.
[03:57] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: you appear to have encountered a current bug.
[03:57] <multiverse> You guys are coming back with some weird 64 bit advice.
[03:57] <IdleOne> !compile | multiverse
[03:57] <ubotu> multiverse: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[03:57] <multiverse> \very strang
[03:57] <sethk> Shadix, there are partisans for various window managers.  I actually use two different ones, depending on how I'm going to use the box
[03:57] <multiverse> That doesn't work
[03:57] <emma> sorry we have names so similar emmajane
[03:57] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395488
[03:57] <nathan__> It happened after I installed the driver off nvidia's site.
[03:57] <multiverse> I tried it and it reference Debian packages.
[03:58] <sethk> Shadix, look at the features and options and resources consumed, and choose one that you think fits your own requirements
[03:58] <MasterShrek> multiverse, apt-get install build-essential ?
[03:58]  * emmajane laughs and isn't sorry. It's a privilege to have this name. :)
[03:58] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Restarting will help. Sometimes the error will occur, other times, it won't.
[03:58] <Shadix> sethk, will do
[03:58] <Eric> nathan__: go to your home directory.
[03:58] <emma> okies :D
[03:58] <IdleOne> multiverse: that is because ubuntu uses .deb
[03:58] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, no he's talkin about the bigmem kernel option
[03:58] <sethk> Shadix, even if you decide to use another one later, you can simply install it.  You can have as many as you want installed, and you can choose which one you want to start
[03:58] <isuka> hey... I'm new at ubuntu, and I'm having problems with the default gui package manager doohickey... whenever I try to click on xchat (or anything else?) to install it, it tells me the package files aren't available and it needs to reload them... and it reloads it but it always says the same thing... how can I fix..?
[03:58] <_blitz_> nathan__ same thing here.800x600 and vesa driver is loading
[03:58] <MasterShrek> oh
[03:58] <sethk> Shadix, it's a very flexible system, one of it's major advantages
[03:58] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, huh, well how about that
[03:58] <multiverse> Doesn't work
[03:58] <Eric> _blitz_: was this an update or clean install?
[03:58] <MasterShrek> multiverse, you want to recompile your kernel?
[03:58] <Shadix> wow Go team!!
[03:58] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, its only in recent 32-bit kernels, its a hack to get up to 4GB of memory
[03:58] <nathan__> what care you running blitz?
[03:58] <multiverse> yes
[03:58] <nathan__> card*
[03:58] <MasterShrek> multiverse, i got a link...one sec
[03:58] <multiverse> with BIGMEM
[03:58] <nathan__> I'm in home directory Eric.
[03:59] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: This thread suggests a fix, but its a hack, so long as restarting solves this problem for you I might do that.
[03:59] <CyberMatt> i have a friend who got Xubuntu working on a 486 with somthink like 44MB ram
[03:59] <Shadix> sethk, thanks for the info that was true Ubuntu of you
[03:59] <Eric> nathan__: click view>hidden files
[03:59] <_blitz_> Eric  Clean install.
[03:59] <MasterShrek> multiverse, http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu
[03:59] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Also, check your repos and don't use Gutsy proposed, if its enabled.
[03:59] <theTrav> ArthurArchnix, yeah, I'm going to stick with restarting
[03:59] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Here is the link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587410&highlight=error+starting+the+GNOME+Settings+Daemon
[03:59] <multiverse> Thanks for the link MasterShrek.

[03:59] <_blitz_> nathan__Geforce 6200 TC
[03:59] <MasterShrek> multiverse, you can skip the bit about patching the kernel as you probably wont have to patch it
[03:59] <Eric> _blitz_: and the only thing driver related you did was to choose the Geforce 6 driver from the menu?
[04:00] <multiverse> The main reason is to get VMware running on my laptop
[04:00] <emma> isuka,  is this with the synaptic package manager?
[04:00] <_blitz_> nathan__ plz pm me
[04:00] <multiverse> I need all my memory for that.
[04:00] <Evanlec> multiverse, i find this guide a bit better: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D311158&ei=kltCR4SEPJuceubN5L8K&usg=AFQjCNHd4cMujjofrvVGPpRArJXBbdE7hw&sig2=7C3kz6CnqzabIozdcuGhkw
[04:00] <multiverse> I'll let you know how it goes.
[04:00] <multiverse> Thanks
[04:00] <CyberMatt> multiverse, you still need a 54bit host system
[04:00] <Evanlec> multiverse, oops
[04:00] <nathan__> Eric: Ok, done that.
[04:00] <Evanlec> multiverse, sorry: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158
[04:00] <MasterShrek> multiverse, why vmware? tried virtualbox?
[04:00] <_blitz_> Eric  that is the only available option
[04:00] <Evanlec> vbox FTW!
[04:00] <Eric> You should see a lot of folders that are .nameofwhateveritis ?
[04:00] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: You might want to contribute your own experience to that thread and stay on top of it for a solid solution.
[04:00] <emmajane> question. VLC says it's supposed to know how to deal with DVDs, but whenever I pop in a DVD totem pops up and complains that it doesn't know how to deal with a DVD. This is on a 7.10 install. do I really need to install http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/12/14/how-to-enable-dvd-playback-ubuntu-510-6061-610/ ?
[04:00] <CyberMatt> 64Bit glibc 64bit binutils etc
[04:01] <isuka> emma, I'm not sure.. It's the one accessed from Applications > Add/Remove. It doesn't say Synaptic on the titlebar or in the first page of the helpfile.
[04:01] <Jack_Sparrow> vmware is still TOO dependent on Microsoft base for me.
[04:01] <Evanlec> emmajane, yes because dvd playback support is non-free software
[04:01] <Eric> _blitz_: just a sec...If I can figure out his problem it'll likely fix yours as well.  It may be over my head though

[04:02] <brian__> Hello everyone.  Having an issue with X server I believe... Just upgraded to 7.10 and my x restarts unless i boot into gnome-failsafe.  have searched forums and google to no avail.  any help would be appreciated.
[04:02] <emma> isuka,  go to system>administration>synaptic package manager
[04:02] <emma> What application did you want to install? xchat, isuka ?
[04:03] <Shadix> sethk, one more question, and I've noticed this with other things too, what is the differance between KDE Desktop Enviroment, Multiverse, and Universe
[04:03] <wally_> hello im having trouble mounting my ntfs harddrives, it asks me to go into windows and do a reboot, but my windows no longer works, any advice?
[04:03] <ArthurArchnix> theTrav: Here is another very easy suggestion to try: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/liboil/+bug/163255
[04:03] <Jack_Sparrow> wally_: Windows has the drives locked down..
[04:03] <isuka> I was trying to install xchat, yes. I've got the Synaptic one launched; I tried searching for "xchat" and "x-chat" but it doesn't seem to show any results..
[04:03] <eckesicle> !flash | fredrik
[04:03] <ubotu> fredrik: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[04:03] <eckesicle> whoops
[04:04] <Eric> nathan__: do you have anything relating to nvidia there?
[04:04] <wally_> jack_sparrow is there any way around this?
[04:04] <sethk> Shadix, they are orthogonal, really.  universe and multiverse respositories are related to what's "officially" supported, and what is differently licensed.
[04:04] <_blitz_> Eric: actually the xorg.conf is created by nvidia-xconfig.but the system loads xorg.conf.failsafe which appeared out of nowhere
[04:04] <Jack_Sparrow> wally_: It is a windows problem, you might try their room
[04:04] <jawee_> This CD drive had a Redhat 6 cd in it
[04:04] <jawee_> what luck
[04:04] <emma> isuka, xchat is definitely in there. Cick the search button and type xchat
[04:04] <eckesicle> Is there a flash 7 package for gutsy?
[04:04] <sethk> Shadix, both kde and gnome are fully supported and completely free software, so they don't really relate to the issue of which repositories to enable
[04:04] <wally_> jack_sparrow but i cant mount it in linux?
[04:04] <Jack_Sparrow> wally_: Not if it is locked down
[04:04] <Eric> I had no problems with my 7900GT.
[04:04] <Apan> can someone recommend a good bittorrent client, that doesn't start a new process for every torrent, (something like uTorrent (a windows client))
[04:05] <wally_> jack_sparrow oh ok thank you
[04:05] <_blitz_> wally try ntfsfix
[04:05] <sethk> Shadix, and, if you have lots of disk space (as most machines do these days), you can simply install both gnome and kde, and try each one and see which you prefer.
[04:05] <MasterShrek> :)
[04:05] <isuka> emma, I know it should be, but that's why I'm here. The package system seems to be a bit odd. Searching for xchat in the synaptic package manager gui is providing no results.
[04:05] <CyberMatt> Universe is good to have enabled Shadix
[04:05] <emma> That's really weird. Let me see something..
[04:05] <Shadix> THANKS
[04:05] <isuka> emma, is there a terminal command I can issue to check the packages db for errors?
[04:05] <Eric> _blitz_: are you running dual monitors or anything out of the ordinary?
[04:05] <brian__> isuka: coming in a little late on this but did you try "sudo apt-get install xchat" from a command prompt?
[04:05] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, u know what file controls loading of modules on startup?
[04:05] <tim> What was that command to Delete xfce4 ? i fogot ?? purge xfcr4 ??
[04:06] <_blitz_> Eric: Nope only single monitor
[04:06] <tim> What is the command to delete xfce4 ???
[04:06] <emma> isuka,  in Synaptic Package Manager go to Settings and click on repositories. Then check every box.
[04:06] <Eric> _blitz_ and nathan__ , both of you go to System>Administration>Screen and Graphics
[04:06] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, umm...not exactly sure in ubuntu....something in /etc/modprobe.d/ iirc
[04:06] <Dev_Noob> Can anyone help me with this error "Failed to Initialize HAL"?
[04:06] <emma> Then search for xchat again.
[04:06] <isuka> "E: couldn't find package xchat" is what the terminal says, brian__.
[04:06] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, there's a bunch of files in /etc/modprobe.d   wish there was just one....
[04:07] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, things liek that pissed me off lol, didnt feel like figuring out, in slack its all in /etc/rc.d
[04:07] <wally_> _blitz_ what is ntfsfix
[04:07] <_blitz_> Eric i am in xp.please carry on.i will note down
[04:07] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, yea, i hear ya
[04:07] <brian__> isuka: sorry was worth a shot :)
[04:07] <tim> isuka: whats that command to delete Xfce4 ??
[04:07] <Bikerbob> anyone know of a boot disk or cd for usb external drive?
[04:07] <_blitz_> wally it fixes errors on ntfs.
[04:07] <Eric> _blitz_: Then choose "nvidia" from that top drop down menu at the graphics card driver dialog.
[04:07] <isuka> tim: You'd have better luck asking a salt lick, I'm sorry..
[04:07] <Eric> nathan__: still following this?
[04:07] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, i rlly wanna try Arch, but im afraid to undertake such a task as switching distros right now
[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> isuka: after adding the repo did you update the package list..
[04:07] <emma> isuka,  did you try that? Did you see that about settings > repositories > check every box
[04:08] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, why arch?
[04:08] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, you shold go with a REAL distribution, like slackware :)
[04:08] <Dev_Noob> with this "HAL" error, would I be better off reinstalling?
[04:08] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, its got some really good reviews, and it sounds like an "advanced" linux distro, but not as technical as slack
[04:08] <eckesicle> Sorry for asking again (but I dropped so message might not have reached):
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Troll
[04:08] <tim> hi
[04:08] <eckesicle> Is there a flash7 package for gutsy?
[04:09] <MasterShrek> eckesicle, i think its flash 9
[04:09] <brian__> can someone help me with an x-server issue?  i have googled and checked the forums.  just upgraded to gusty and killed my gnome
[04:09] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, slackware appears to be lacking a package manager that solves dependencies
[04:09] <tim> eckesicle: So what is the command to remove Xfce4 ??
[04:09] <Eric> eckesicle: Flash9 will install when you go to a site with flash on it.
[04:09] <isuka> emma, yes. working on it!
[04:09] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, that is true
[04:09] <emmajane> brian__ have you tried doing a full power off and then restart?
[04:09] <emmajane> brian__ I had to do that when I first upgraded.
[04:09] <brian__> emmajane yes ma'am
[04:09] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, thing is, ubuntu has a really big community that i like a lot, thats a main reason for me not to switch
[04:09] <emmajane> brian__ rebooting didn't work...
[04:10] <brian__> emmajane no it didn't
[04:10] <emmajane> (for me)
[04:10] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, yea thats true, good for learning, you are relativly new to linux right?
[04:10] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, tho i do feel like a distro that wasnt so bloated like Arch is right for me
[04:10] <emmajane> brian__ it wasn't until I completely powered off. waited. and then started the machine again that gnome started to work.
[04:10] <buttercups> !tell Apan  about torrent
[04:10] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, I am relatively new, 6months at most
[04:10] <brian__> emmajane i'll give it another shot.  be right back
[04:10] <rpj8> Hey guys, using open box. was curious as to why I don't have a head with the words "Openbox 3" on other open box screenshots on top of my right click menu
[04:10]  * emmajane nods
[04:10] <Eric> nathan__ , _blitz_ , I've got to go for a little bit.
[04:10] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, tho i've been learning pretty quick
[04:10] <_blitz_> nathan__is your problem solved?
[04:10] <Dev_Noob> Can anyone help me with a "HAL" issue?
[04:11] <_blitz_> Eric OK
[04:11] <isuka> emma, that seems to have done the trick. The default add/remove dialog seems to be behaving as expected now, thank you!
[04:11] <emma> isuka,  that's wonderful :)
[04:11] <Eric> _blitz_: nathan hasn't responded in a bit.
[04:11] <isuka> emma, thank you very much for your help. Good night :)
[04:11] <Evanlec> rpj8, openbox isnt really supported here, ubuntu uses gnome, kubuntu=kde, etc
[04:11]  * Dev_Noob gets nekkid and passes out nachos
[04:11] <emma> g'night
[04:11] <_blitz_> Eric..Ohhh
[04:12] <rpj8> Evanlec: Understandable. Was just curious if someone else used it. ##openbox is empty, unfortunately
[04:12] <Evanlec> rpj8, yea, unfortunately this is the most active channel on the server...lol
[04:12] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, yea, well i learned starting with ubuntu on 4.10 (warty) used ubuntu until breezy or so, then slack, some gentoo, now i just go back and forth, the more time i spend in linux the more i realize that most distros are pretty much the same, aside from where some files are located, and package management
[04:12] <_blitz_> Eric ..do you know why i am using xp for irc chat? because ubuntu wont let me do it
[04:12] <rpj8> Evanlec: Hehe/
[04:12] <emma> I'm kind of  shocked that I was able to help someone. Maybe I'm getting better at Ubuntu.
[04:13]  * emmajane grins at emma and knows the feeling.
[04:13] <emma> :)
[04:13] <riotkittie> hates trying to figure out where files rae.
[04:13] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, true...but isnt it kind of a pain to switch distros? i mean i do have my /home on seperate partition, also have /boot now...but still, takes a lotta work to get back to where u were
[04:14] <emmajane> brian__ any luck?
[04:14] <brian__> no luck emmajane
[04:14] <emmajane> darn :(
[04:14] <DG19075> _blitz_: you might want to try and download Pidgin, the messaging client.
[04:14] <brian__> still have to boot in failsafe
[04:14] <emmajane> brian__ have you done all the system upgrades as well? (post-install)
[04:15] <Jack_Sparrow> brian__: just for grins.. reduce/change your screen res or try the vesa driver
[04:15] <_blitz_> DG19075 no luck with pidgin .it wont connect .
[04:15] <sethk> emma, I'm sure you've heard the old joke:  even a stopped clock is right twice a day.  :)
[04:15] <emmajane> brian__ is it a gnome problem or a graphics card problem, do you think?
[04:15] <emma> hehe sethk
[04:15] <brian__> emmajane just did the upgrade yesterday and update manager isn't showing any updates
[04:15] <emmajane> hmm
[04:15] <brian__> emmajane one time it gave me a list of errors and i should have coppied them down...
[04:15] <Dev_Noob> Any help for the HAL error?  Please?
[04:15] <DG19075> hmmm..what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[04:15] <emmajane> brian__ do you remember where the errors were?
[04:15] <brian__> emmajane it was mostly about not finding any valid screens
[04:16] <Dev_Noob> Ubuntut Studio 7.04
[04:16] <_blitz_> DG19075 Gutsy
[04:16] <emmajane> brian__ gnome errors?
[04:16] <emma> Dev_Noob,  I feel like saying, "What's the matter dave..."
[04:16] <emmajane> brian__ ahhh. that could be an X error, rather than gnome...
[04:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Dev_Noob: You might ask in their channel
[04:16] <brian__> emmajane i'm almost positive it is
[04:16] <emmajane> brian__ you might want to reconfigure x?
[04:16] <Dev_Noob> I did.... no one is alive, apparently
[04:16] <DG19075> just what I'm running here.. you may need to re-install with synaptic
[04:16]  * Dev_Noob gets shovel to bury corpses
[04:17] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, tried compiling 2.6.24-rc3?
[04:17] <Shadix> is there a good tuorial on installing KDE
[04:17] <_blitz_> DG19075 .even after 3 fresh installs.there were no problems in feisty
[04:17] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, lol no ;p
[04:17] <MasterShrek> Shadix, sudo apt-get instal kubuntu-desktop
[04:17] <Shadix> ah

[04:17] <Jack_Sparrow> just that easy
[04:17] <sirdork> help lack of sound is driving me nuts
[04:17] <Shadix> :

[04:18] <jtn> I too am lacking sound...
[04:18] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, i just actually recompiled 2.6.23.1 with softraid support compiled in
[04:18] <emmajane> brian__ yup
[04:18] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, im compiling now, running rc2 right now
[04:18] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, anything exciting in the changelog? ;p
[04:18] <emmajane> brian__ well, assuming that this is where the problem is. ;)
[04:18] <nclife> what would the command be to print a .tex file?
[04:18] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, nothing too spectacular, you know 2.6.23.8 is out right? they went from .2 to .8 in like 2 hours lol
[04:18] <DG19075> hmmm, ya might want to try the i386-dvd.iso. That's what's running here and it's anvil solid.
[04:19] <_blitz_> hmm i'll give it a try
[04:19] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, wtf? no...i didnt even no .2 was out
[04:19] <MasterShrek> lolz
[04:19] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, holy crap ur right
[04:19] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, damnit, i just recompiled .1 about an hour ago
[04:20] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, last friday, they had 2.6.23.2, at like 11am, and when i came back at like 2pm it was up to .8 lol
[04:20] <MasterShrek> lmao
[04:20] <DG19075> much less updating compared to the CD. Use BURNCDCC i to burn the image.
[04:20] <Shadix> why can't the whole world be Linux based
[04:20] <TeslaDave> Need help with regard to deleting a directory using SUDO through the Gui and not via command line
[04:20] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, welcome to my life lol
[04:20] <Jack_Sparrow> TeslaDave: gksudo nautilus
[04:20] <wally_> jack_Sparrow the windows people said its not really a windows thing, i just want to learn how to mount the hardrive in linux
[04:20] <MasterShrek> omfg a new kernel version!?! must compile!
[04:21] <_blitz_> Shadix .World consist of fools.You see there should be a balance
[04:21] <Jack_Sparrow> wally_: thought you said it was locked down
[04:21] <jawee_> Thanks a ton guys!
[04:21] <TeslaDave> Jack_Sparrow can you explain that a bit better
[04:21] <Jack_Sparrow> wally_: You can google up the diskmounter script....
[04:21] <jawee_> The new CD works like a charm
[04:21] <jawee_> all of this time
[04:21] <jawee_> and that was all I had to do
[04:21] <jawee_> wow
[04:21] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, lol, so like, are u testing out any features of .24 or ?
[04:21] <nclife> what would the command be to print a .tex file?
[04:21] <jtn> My sound used to work.  Now it doesn't.  'aplay -l' gives me the soundcard.  amixer shows it's not muted but I can't get sound.
[04:22] <jtn> I tried re-installing alsa
[04:22] <emmajane> jtn, what's your sound card?
[04:22] <jtn> card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog]
[04:22] <jtn>   Subdevices: 1/1
[04:22] <jtn>   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[04:22] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, not so much, my broadcom wireless card took a shit, otherwise id be trying the b43 driver, apparently my sd card reader in my laptop works now, ill have to see here in a minute, but other than that not much really...
[04:22] <MasterShrek> !paste | jtn
[04:22] <ubotu> jtn: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:22] <DG19075> you can get BURNCDCC from http://www.terabyteunlimited.com
[04:22] <Xion> does anyone in here know the "audacity" software that well?
[04:22] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, the -mm patch has lots of experimental stuff in it, i compiled it once but couldnt get it to run
[04:22] <MasterShrek> Xion, ive used it a time or three
[04:22] <brian__> emmajane tryin to restart x now... we shall see
[04:22] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, i wanted to try Reiser4 ;P
[04:22] <brian__> emmajane brb
[04:23] <emmajane> brian__ fingers crossed
[04:23] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, thats whay u were saying, reiser4 eh?
[04:23] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, yea lol
[04:23] <emmajane> jtn, hmm
[04:23] <MasterShrek> ext4 also
[04:23] <TeslaDave> Jack_Sparrow thanks that worked
[04:23] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:23] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, ext4 is in .23.1 i believe...
[04:23] <DG19075> used Audacity and Rezound here
[04:23] <MasterShrek> probably
[04:23] <emmajane> jtn, I remember there were problems with the 200x cards...
[04:23] <Xion> do you know anything about recording somthing off a digital recorder
[04:23] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, ext4 doesnt seem to offer much, just some more security options....nothin in terms of performance from what ive read
[04:23] <MasterShrek> not really Xion, make sure you ahve the correct device selected in your options i spose
[04:23] <Xion> we have recorded a few things but when we burn to disk it comes out distorted
[04:23] <Jack_Sparrow> TeslaDave: Use that command sparringly.. you dont want to mess up your permissions
[04:24] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, thats what i read as well, not really a desktop fs either, more for servers i guess
[04:24] <Xion> yeah ive gone over some of that
[04:24] <Xion> well thanx any how though
[04:24] <jtn> emmajane, it was working for a while.  I did some updates yesterday and I think that broke it...
[04:24] <MasterShrek> Xion, is it outputting it in a good bitrate?
[04:24] <brian__> emmajane still no love
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy
[04:24] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[04:24] <sirdork> Please someone Help me get the sound working
[04:24] <Myrtti> Go'Morron!
[04:24] <brian__> emmajane is there a log file i can pull up?
[04:24] <emmajane> jtn, I haven't been around in the last couple of days so I'm not sure if there are others with the same problem....
[04:24] <TeslaDave> Jack_Sparrow just had to remove an older version of VMware, since i upgraded to Gusty, was unable to remove it using the Add/Remove on the menu
[04:24] <sethk> Evanlec, security is important; in general you pay some price in performance for security, although one hopes the price is small
[04:25] <emmajane> brian__ /var/sys/log generally has stuff in it. as does dmesg (if it's a problem with the graphics card)
[04:25] <jtn> emmajane, okay. Thanks anyway.
[04:25] <Jack_Sparrow> TeslaDave: Just hate to give that command to a user without a disclaimer
[04:25] <wally_> jack_sparrow i tried the diskmounter and basiccaly it says my hd are already in /etc/fstab and no usable windows partitions found
[04:25] <emmajane> jtn, you might want to monitor the bug reporting system ...
[04:25] <nclife> what would the command be to print a .tex file in the command line?
[04:25] <Xion> dont know
[04:25] <Xion> ???
[04:25] <sethk> Evanlec, if you don't need the additional security, then it's reasonable to choose not to pay the performance penalty for it.
[04:25] <emmajane> jtn, there's stuff there about the mic not working, but I don't see anything aboug the sound not coming out
[04:26] <BERSERKR> hey guys, question, has there been a fix to the slow wireless/wired internet support in gutsy?
[04:26] <Jack_Sparrow> wally_: You might try hirens cd there are some utilities that might clear the problem for you
[04:26] <TeslaDave> Jack_Sparrow i understand, do you know how to then remove the shortcut from the menu, is there a certain directory in which menu shortcuts are located
[04:26] <Evanlec> sethk, right...makes sense, thats why i not to use ext4
[04:26] <Evanlec> *chose
[04:27] <Xion> we have just been doing raw recordings, now were trying to cut some of the stuff we have done, but when i run the files through audacity it comes out distorted when finished
[04:27] <crazy2k> Hello. Look, my mom has some problem with Ubuntu. Unfortunately, she doesn't know much about computers and I'm 1800km away from her. The problem is that when she enters some specific site (using firefox) which has some kind of flash animation, the computer freezes. Maybe she has an old version of Ubuntu, because she doesn't know how to update. I told her by phone that she had to reinstall the flash plugin, but we didn't know what package it was 
[04:27] <MasterShrek> Xion, outputting in mp3 format?
[04:27] <crazy2k> Could you see everything I wrote?
[04:28] <Myrtti> chiprunner: sure
[04:28] <MasterShrek> crazy2k, flash-nonfree probably, but if its an older version it may not work
[04:28] <Xion> now wav
[04:28] <linuxgoober> can i change konqueror to the default file browser in kubuntu
[04:28] <Myrtti> crazy2k: sure
[04:28] <MasterShrek> Xion, is there an option somewhere to choose the quality of the output? i think there is somewhere...
[04:28] <jimmygoon> Please ubuntu irc gods save my from open office font hell
[04:28] <MasterShrek> up the quality, it should sound better
[04:28] <mattgyver83> Anyone here familiar with setting up wifi with with a Broadcom 4318 AirForce One built in wireless card?
[04:28] <MasterShrek> !font | jimmygoon
[04:28] <ubotu> jimmygoon: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[04:28] <crazy2k> Myrtti: Wasn't it too long?
[04:28] <sethk> crazy2k, usually, the flash plugin for the browser is installed through the browser, not through the package manager
[04:29] <Myrtti> gosh the lag
[04:29] <crazy2k> sethk: Really? That's good information.
[04:29] <sethk> crazy2k, at that difference, I think I'd try downloading the latest binary firefox
[04:29] <Xion> .......ill just keep on looking
[04:29] <jimmygoon> MasterShrek, thanks, I've got that... its just oo.o's rendering is different than the rest of ubuntu
[04:29] <sethk> crazy2k, from the firefox site, not ubuntu repos.
[04:29] <crazy2k> sethk: From firefox site?
[04:29] <Xion> lol ill figure it out sooner or a later
[04:29] <Rencore_> how can i install flash on 64-bit
[04:29] <sethk> crazy2k, yes, they have a tarball with x86 linux binaries that work fine in ubuntu
[04:29] <sirdork> Help please my system knows what the onboard sound is. it can see it but it won't use it to make noise please HELP
[04:29] <crazy2k> MasterShrek: I told her to search for "flash" in Synaptic, but that plugin did not appear.
[04:29] <Jack_Sparrow> TeslaDave: not sure if I have this right.. getting sleepy.. but gconf-editor
[04:29] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, i found this review rather convincing for ArchLinux
[04:30] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, http://usalug.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10256
[04:30] <brian__> emmajane any idea where gnome would log to if it failed to find a screen..  odd that failsafe seems to find one just fine...
[04:30] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, tho i spose it may be rather biasd
[04:30] <emmajane> brian__ hmm
[04:30] <tim> How do i mount ISO which is in the FTNS ?
[04:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash
[04:30] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[04:30] <crazy2k> sethk: But why wouldn't you look for the latest version in Synaptic? And what does firefox version have to do with the flash plugin version?
[04:30] <brian__> emmajane and it might be helpful if i told you that its a notebook with a radeon 9000 mobility card
[04:31] <emmajane> brian__ what about /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[04:31] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, or actually check this page out: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_vs_Others
[04:31] <sethk> crazy2k, first, no, the browser plugin is usually installed using the browser methods, not through the package manager
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Please stop PIMPING Arch
[04:31] <tim> How do i mount ISO which is in the FTNS ?*************
[04:31] <TheCheeks> I want to install ubuntu on my macbook and just upgraded to Leopard. any guides?
[04:31] <sethk> crazy2k, and installing a complete latest binary insures that your problem is not caused by an older version of a browser, or by a browser installation issue.
[04:32] <sethk> crazy2k, it may not change anything, but it's worth trying
[04:32] <emmajane> brian__ what's your screen resolution set to?
[04:32] <Shadix> _blitz_: What you said earlier about the world being full of fool and there needing to be a balance reminded my of a joke http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45190/
[04:32] <emmajane> brian__ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xgl/+bug/42527
[04:32] <brian__> emmajane 1280x800 its the only resolution that my lcd supports
[04:32] <steed2008> hell all
[04:32] <badraa> how to search prgramm from internet?
[04:33] <steed2008> configure: error: GTK+-2.10 is required to compile aurora
[04:33] <brian__> emmajane http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45191/
[04:33] <Shadix> hell to you too
[04:33] <MasterShrek> interesting Evanlec, i liek their comparison with slackware, dependency checking is obviously an important feature for you, so id say give it a shot, at least in a vm for starters
[04:33] <emmajane> brian__ aahhh ... check out teh link I sent you.
[04:33] <steed2008> how resolve this question ?thx all
[04:33] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, yea, i dont see how dependancy checking is not a problem for you...
[04:33] <wally_> hello i  am needing help to mount my ntfs drives in ubuntu 7.10 i just installed yesterday, but i cant acces my hard drives http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611586&page=2 documents my work so far
[04:33] <crazy2k> sethk: Okay. Thank you for that. Also, I told her to uninstall gstreamer because, for some reason, it couldn't be reinstalled, and I thought it had something to do with flash.
[04:33] <emmajane> brian__ *grin* good log file, scary log file.... not sure if I'll be able to find anything useful in the log file. :)
[04:34] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, also the i686 optimization i find appealing
[04:34] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, heh, if i need a dependency, i get it
[04:34] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, ur running 64 bit anyways right?
[04:34] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, true..
[04:34] <crazy2k> sethk: Unfortunately, we couldn't find it again to install it. Don't know why. Is it important?
[04:34] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, i guess tahts a moot point then..
[04:34] <MasterShrek> heh
[04:34] <emmajane> brian__ the link I sent suggests using the ati driver instead of the fglrx driver.
[04:34] <tim> Do u know guys??
[04:34] <emmajane> brian__ do you remember which one you picked when you reconfigured your X server?
[04:35] <brian__> emmajane i believe ati.. but i can check that real fast
[04:35] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, but isnt x86_64 just an i686 architecture with added amd64 instruction set?
[04:35] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, i mean, on the 32-bit side, they're the same
[04:35] <v1k1ng1001> when I try to start compiz, it says "The Composite extension is not available"
[04:35] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, i dunno for sure, sounds right lol
[04:35] <v1k1ng1001> what am I doing wrong?
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> brian__: I have never seen a monitor that only supported a single res.
[04:35] <sethk> crazy2k, I really don't know anything about gstreamer, even whether it matters.  I can't see why it would, as I know I don't have it installed, but I'm not certain what the implications of uninstalling it might be
[04:36] <emmajane> jack_sparrow some of the wide screen monitors just look plain dumb in anything except their recommended resolution
[04:36] <brian__> emmajane "Screen and Graphics Preferences" shows that I'm using ati driver
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> emmajane: I can appreciate that.. but he says it only supports ONE res
[04:36] <brian__> jack_sparrow without black bars or horrible stretching
[04:37] <BA_WA> i wanna to know setilite 2' Nagration search key webside
[04:37] <BA_WA> who the help me
[04:37] <emmajane> brian__ my *guess* is that you're running into the same problem as what's described on taht bug report... except you said it's a new problem. hmm.
[04:37] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, thats my understanding...but i may be wrong
[04:37] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, im downloading arch right now, gonna install on a vm, ill let u know if i approve =P
[04:37] <Jack_Sparrow> brian__: Just pointing out that it DOES support more than one res.
[04:37] <brian__> emmajane worked fine with feisty
[04:37] <emmajane> jack_sparrow well there's "computer support" and then there's "human-friendly support" ;)
[04:37] <brian__> jack_sparrow point taken
[04:38] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, i think i will install it as a vm along with you
[04:38] <crazy2k> sethk: Okay. Thank you. One little question. Do you know if it's possible for me to use her firefox and synaptic from here (I'm on a Linux-PPC) if she installs an ssh server?
[04:38] <firebird619> A little while ago, FF asked me to install a plugin for playing videos on web sites, not flash, I already have that, but the choices were xine, totem, mplayer, and a few others. I was wondering, which is the best plugin to choose to install and use for FF?
[04:38] <emmajane> brian__ You might want to do a second scan through the bug reports to see if you can find anything else.
[04:38] <nclife> what would the command be to print a .tex file in the command line?
[04:38] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, going with core or ftp?
[04:39] <crazy2k> nclife: You want to print the code or its product?
[04:39] <MasterShrek> firebird619, vlc if you have the choice is prolly bets
[04:39] <MasterShrek> best*
[04:39] <Jack_Sparrow> brian__: I have seen many people fight their video driver to find they didnt get their monitor setup correctly in the xorg
[04:39] <DG19075> VLC gets my vote there...
[04:39] <DG19075> run it for web streams
[04:39] <v1k1ng1001> when I try to start compiz via appearances/preferences-> visual effects tab, it says "The Composite extension is not available"???  What am I doing wrong?
[04:39] <lucia> 恩
[04:39] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, im guessing u will because its a mixing of gentoo, slack, and debian
[04:39] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, the "no frills" distros ;p
[04:39] <brian__> emmajane and jack_sparrow will do some more searching and let you know what i come across.  I'm not a total newb... but still pretty close
[04:39] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, core...the ftp package is only 42mb lol
[04:40] <nclife> crazy2k, the code
[04:40] <emmajane> brian__ just for fun: you might want to try changing your screen resolution to see if that's the problem. i know it'll look bad, but ...
[04:40] <crazy2k> nclife: lp <file> ?
[04:40] <firebird619> MasterShrek: Yes, I think that was a choice, thanks.
[04:40] <nclife> crazy2k, thx
[04:40] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, i spose, heh, well see
[04:40] <Jack_Sparrow> brian__: good luck, lots of help here. but try to avoid blanket statements..
[04:40] <Maconga> Can I get Ubuntu too be portable on a Flash-drive? Like I have Windows load, but if flash-drive is inserted into the computer, Ubunto loads?
[04:40] <brian__> emmajane and jack_sparrow even if that works... it wouldn't be an acceptable solution for me
[04:40]  * MasterShrek 's connection is uber slow
[04:40] <emmajane> brian__ correct, but it would confirm the bug and then you could follow the right solution when it comes up.
[04:40] <brian__> emmajane true
[04:41] <v1k1ng1001> Hi folks, when I try to start compiz via appearances/preferences-> visual effects tab, it says "The Composite extension is not available"???  What am I doing wrong?  Anyone have any ideas?
[04:41] <Jack_Sparrow> brian__: But it would tell you a lot about where to go to fix the problem
[04:41] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, do u enable VT-x/AMD-V in vbox? i enable it but i donno if its doing any good
[04:41] <firebird619> Also, I have been having problems with audio, if I am playing music in Exaile or Rhythmbox, or any player for that matter, audio on, for example, youtube and other sites with sound won't play until I close the player that I have running. How can I solve that problem?
[04:41] <Jack_Sparrow> v1k1ng1001: Look at your video card/driver setup
[04:41] <emmajane> brian__ sometimes identifying the bug is half the battle.
[04:41] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, i do, but your processor has to support it, i chose something in my bios for virtualization
[04:41] <bluebanana> how can i run command foo at XY:AB PM?
[04:41] <MasterShrek> actually Evanlec im not really even using vbox, using qemu
[04:41] <MasterShrek> vbox is built on qemu iirc
[04:42] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, bahh why cant u just use vbox ;p
[04:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !cron
[04:42] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[04:42] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, cuz i didnt feel like compiling it, they dont have a slack package
[04:42] <MasterShrek> and qemu works just fine
[04:42] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, i chose support for some virutalization options in kernel config, never saw anything in bios for that
[04:42] <dinkle> awn broke my compiz fusion and now i cannot access compiz-fusion settings, please help!
[04:43] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, it may have something to do with the kernel options too, im not exactly sure
[04:43] <v1k1ng1001> Jack_Sparrow, I'm using the fglrx driver from the restricted drivers manager for my radeon card, i'm getting good fps with glxgears
[04:43] <sirdork> Please Help me to get sound working

[04:43] <Jack_Sparrow> v1k1ng1001: Try to avoid pasting in channel
[04:43] <v1k1ng1001> sorry
[04:43] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:44] <dolphin_noel> i'm sorry the question but why ubuntu automatic turn off the firewall sometimes?!
[04:44] <Jack_Sparrow> !firewall
[04:44] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[04:44] <Haemoth> I get no audio when I resume from suspend. How do I fix that?
[04:45] <dolphin_noel> Jack_Sparrow very tecqnic but ... that was not the question
[04:45] <_blitz_> Eric: Are  You back?
[04:45] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, okay im at the arch install program
[04:45] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, i'll wait for u
[04:45] <emmajane> brian__ any luck with changing the screen rez?
[04:45] <v1k1ng1001> Jack_Sparrow, I was wondering about this because on another install I used envy instead of restricted drivers...compiz worked but my fps were terrible
[04:45] <brian__> emmajane haven't tried it yet
[04:45] <emmajane> brian__ kay
[04:46] <Jack_Sparrow> v1k1ng1001: Envy is a terrible thing to do to your computer
[04:46] <Jack_Sparrow> v1k1ng1001: The only thing worse is Automatix
[04:46] <v1k1ng1001> lol
[04:46] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, i got 8 minutes left, my connection is slow
[04:46] <v1k1ng1001> ok
[04:46] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, ah, what are u on?
[04:46] <dinkle> why is envy bad?
[04:46] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, its a 3 meg connection, but i swear im getting throttled
[04:46] <_blitz_> Please guys help me with nvidia drivers
[04:46] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, sounds it
[04:47] <Haemoth> I get no audio when I resume from suspend. How do I fix that? Is there a way I can bring my audio back alive without rebooting?
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> dolphin_noel: Sorry if the answer is not what you wanted.  Your question might need to be rephrased
[04:47] <kd7swh> I am trying to reformat a usb hard drive with gparted but it keeps auto-mounting when i try
[04:47] <v1k1ng1001> dinkle:  it is, but compiz ran!
[04:47] <Alli> dinkle: it works outside of the Ubuntu way of doing things. Apt doesn't know about whatever Envy and Automatix get up to.
[04:47] <gerg> hi everyone
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy
[04:47] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !automatix
[04:47] <ubotu> automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[04:47] <Alli> dinkle: That makes your system likely to break in horrible ways
[04:47] <v1k1ng1001> dinkle:  i can attest to that
[04:47] <dinkle> is there any way to reverse it after using it?
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Nope
[04:47] <graelb_> Hi there... Anyone have any new development with the framebuffer issues not allowing the tty's to be visible on some nvidia cards?
[04:47] <dinkle> gotta reformat/reinstall?
[04:47] <gerg> I'm an ubuntu newb and I'm having some install problems
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Well, reinstall
[04:48] <Maconga> Is there a verson of Ubuntu that is portable ??
[04:48] <Alli> graelb_: I have the same issue, no change as far as I know
[04:48] <dolphin_noel> Jack_Sparrow i see that the old recomended ubuntu firewall the firestarter simple sometimes just shut down all and they come up again automatic so the question is why ubuntu automatic shutdown the firewall ?
[04:48] <Evanlec> Maconga, check pendrivelinux.com theres some tutorials for making a persistent install on a usb-stick of ubuntu
[04:48] <graelb_> Alli: Hrm. I can get them working if i go back to my old drivers...
[04:48] <dolphin_noel> in start of the computer for exemple
[04:48] <Maconga> Ok thanks!
[04:48] <Jack_Sparrow> dolphin_noel: Never seen that happen..
[04:48] <brian__> emmajane screen res change didn't work :(
[04:49] <gerg> I have an old Panasonic Toughbook M34.   the problem is, it has no CD rom drive, no floppy and cannot boot from USB
[04:49] <v1k1ng1001> they don't have one for gutsy yet
[04:49] <emmajane> brian__ which resolution did you choose?
[04:49] <dolphin_noel> Jack_Sparrow happens allways here ... in fresh instalatiion and everything i don`t know thta why i'm asking
[04:49] <Alli> I sure hope vmware-server gets packaged soon
[04:49] <brian__> emmajane runnin bitchx on a different screen now though so i don't lose my connection when i restart x
[04:49] <gerg> so, what I did was pull the HD and put it in another laptop
[04:49] <JPSman> I need help with geting gutsy to see my soundcard
[04:49] <kd7swh> how can i reformat this usb drive? Gparted keeps mounting the existing partitions when I tell it to format so then it can't write a new partition table
[04:49] <JPSman> just installed it today
[04:49] <gerg> I installed ubuntu and it was working great
[04:49] <Jack_Sparrow> dolphin_noel: How do you know it is shutting off the firewall.
[04:49] <brian__> emmajane 1024x768 and 800x600
[04:49] <Shadix> ouch KDe runs sloooow
[04:49] <emmajane> brian__ hmm. the 800x600 should have worked.
[04:49] <Jack_Sparrow> dolphin_noel: I use grc.com to test my ports and installs
[04:50] <gerg> now I put it into the other laptop... I can get the ubuntu splash, but then that's all she wrote
[04:50] <dolphin_noel> Jack_Sparrow because that what i see in boot ...
[04:50] <gerg> I get a black screen afte rthe slpass
[04:50] <gerg> *after the splash
[04:50] <Alli> Argh! Vmware 2 setup is web based? That's too bad...
[04:50] <dolphin_noel> comes down then comes up then comes down and up again ...
[04:50] <CyberAgeVoodoo> Any Samba Guru's on?
[04:50] <brian__> emmajane if i change my screen resolution in gnome-failsafe will it change it for my regular gnome session?
[04:50] <MasterShrek> CyberAgeVoodoo, whats the problem?
[04:50] <gerg> so my question.....
[04:50] <tim>  i am getting this message when i try to mount mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
[04:50] <tim>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[04:50] <tim>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[04:50] <tim>        dmesg | tail  or so
[04:50] <v1k1ng> Hi folks, when I try to start compiz via appearances/preferences-> visual effects tab, it says "The Composite extension is not available"???  What am I doing wrong?  Anyone have any ideas?
[04:50] <MasterShrek> 2:30 Evanlec :)
[04:50] <Jack_Sparrow> dolphin_noel: No idea.
[04:51] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, :) im beginning install, gonna use reiserfs ;p
[04:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > tim:
[04:51] <gerg> Q: How can I boot and adjust the display settings/driver
[04:51] <Alli> tim, that just means that your floppy disk is messed up
[04:51] <dolphin_noel> Jack_Sparrow if i know i was not asking to lol :)
[04:51] <emmajane> brian__ I'm not sure...
[04:51] <MasterShrek> ok Evanlec
[04:51] <CyberAgeVoodoo> I can't seem to connect to my windows shared folder, I have tried changing the local security policy on the windows box (vista)
[04:51] <dolphin_noel> but that strange
[04:51] <JPSman> Do any bored leets want to help a complete newb?
[04:51] <Ashfire908> is there a way to check the delay between to servers when the data is running thorugh ssh?
[04:51] <emmajane> brian__ does X have a setting for the default screen resolution...
[04:51] <brian__> emmajane i would think it should... thats the point of failsafe right?  to fix problems
[04:51] <brian__> emmajane dunno
[04:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Goodnight all... Play nice
[04:52] <CyberAgeVoodoo> i keep getting prompted for a user name and password, and no matter what i try it fails
[04:52] <brian__> emmajane is that in xorg.conf
[04:52] <emmajane> brian__ yup
[04:52] <seanwlamber1> Hey everyone
[04:52] <Dev_Noob> ok... reinstalled UbuntuStudio to fix the HAL thang
[04:52] <emmajane> brian__ MAKE A BACK UP FIRST
[04:52] <brian__> emmajane brb again
[04:52] <BADKITTY> !ask JPSman
[04:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask jpsman - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:52] <seanwlamber1> How do I use the terminal to close a program?
[04:52] <brian__> emmajane always ;-)
[04:52] <emmajane> brian__ hate to yell, but that's killed me a few times
[04:52] <Ashfire908> JPSman, it's spelled 133t5 (i think). "don't ask to ask, just ask your question
[04:52] <Ashfire908> *"
[04:52] <emmajane> brian__ oh it's just a little change, I"ll remember what I did...
[04:52] <fous> hello
[04:52] <fous> I need help with samba
[04:53] <emmajane> jack_sparrow: night!
[04:53] <gerg> anyone willing to give me a hand?
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> brian__: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T)            is how I do it
[04:53] <seanwlamber1> How do you close a program with terminal?
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> night emma
[04:53] <Alli> gerg, what do you need? PM me
[04:53] <CyberAgeVoodoo> fous, i just tossed a question about samba maybe we have the same problem
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> seanwlamber1: kill
[04:53] <fous> really whats ur problem?
[04:53] <JPSman> I just installed Gutsy today and know NOTHING of linux.  I dont have any sound. I already tried !sound
[04:53] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, so far i like the package selection system, tho i dont think i'd ever bother going thru this huge list
[04:53] <seanwlamber1> Jthanks
[04:54] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, booting the iso :)
[04:54] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, in the installer i mean
[04:54] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, but i imagine one could make a very lean system this way
[04:54] <madman91> hey guys
[04:54] <Owlin> I have an old DELL with Windows2000 on it and I want to add Ubuntu.  But it is so old that it doesn't boot from a CD.  Before I drag it out of the closet, is this doable?
[04:54] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, you can always add more later right?
[04:54] <Ashfire908> is there a way to check the delay between to servers when the data is running thorugh ssh?
[04:54] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, exactly!
[04:54] <CyberAgeVoodoo> can't for the life of me connect to a share on a windows machine... i get prompted for a username and password ... but it is shared out with everyone having permission
[04:55] <Alli> Owlin, yes, if it has enough RAM. You can do a network install
[04:55] <fous> well I have to setup the admin rights or something right? well I can't log in
[04:55] <madman91> I have a computer.. it has ubuntu on it.. i have acces to it.. and it has a hostname on the internet.. how do i make it into a mail serveR?
[04:55] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, tho actually most of these seem rather essential so far
[04:55] <Alli> Owlin - it might boot from the alternate (non-LiveCD) version of the install CD
[04:55] <Ashfire908> Owlin, uh did you check if the boot order was correct so that it was configured to boot the cd?
[04:55] <sethk> madman91, install and configure an MTA.  I use postfix
[04:55] <CyberAgeVoodoo> sounds like mine, I even changed the local security policy on the windows box
[04:55] <MasterShrek> hmm, Evanlec is it a text-based installer?
[04:55] <jickles> is there a way to clear text without selecting it? For example I would like to select some text then paste into my address bar?
[04:55] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, oh yea
[04:55] <Owlin> Yes
[04:55] <MasterShrek> sweet :)
[04:55] <sethk> madman91, other commonly used MTAs are sendmail and qmail
[04:56] <Ashfire908> Owlin, unless you mean the computer don't have the power for a livecd.
[04:56] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, ncurses ;p
[04:56] <Haemoth> I get no audio when I resume from suspend. How do I fix that? Is there a way I can bring my audio back alive without rebooting?
[04:56] <JPSman> How do I install my sound driver into gutsy?
[04:56] <sethk> madman91, there are still others, but those are the ones I happened to have used
[04:56] <madman91> sounds good.. many thanks sethk
[04:56] <Owlin> It has floppies that allow me to install Windows2000 from the CD.
[04:56] <Alli> Haemoth: what is your sound hardware?
[04:56] <fous> what problem do u have ?
[04:56] <MasterShrek> CyberAgeVoodoo, try: sudo smbpasswd -a <user> on the server and then log in as that user with the password you provided
[04:56] <Evanlec> floppies to install win2000 from the CD? that sounds disgusting
[04:56] <Haemoth> Sound Card: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller
[04:56] <Evanlec> lo.,l
[04:57] <CyberAgeVoodoo> will try thanks MasterShrek
[04:57] <Loki2010> Owlin, it should boot from the cd drive if you have it set as a boot device in the bios if it ran win2000 it should be able to take almost and *nix
[04:57] <Owlin> Well, it can run Windows 2000.  It is a 700 mghz machine
[04:57] <Ashfire908> Owlin, i would still chec- what Loki2010 said.
[04:57] <Evanlec> Owlin, it'll run much better with linux ;)
[04:57] <fous> well on a 700 mhz box I put free nas
[04:57] <Owlin> I just didn't see the option in the bios
[04:57] <Owlin> Makes me think it is too primitive
[04:57] <Haemoth> Alli: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller
[04:58] <gerg> anyone got a minute to help me troubleshoot?
[04:58] <seapig> mhn
[04:58] <Loki2010> Owlin, it's there somewhere all mobo's have a boot order selection
[04:58] <Ashfire908> gerg, just ask!
[04:58] <Owlin> I plan to put in on the DELL I'm running now (no problem), but I thought I would gt a little experienc with it first on a machine I didn't care about.
[04:58] <JPSman> Xoas has seem to become very transparent
[04:59] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, i dont like how it wants to use a /home partition by default, thats kinda annoying to me already
[04:59] <Evanlec> Owlin, might be easier to just install it as a virtual machine first

[05:00] <tussey> !torrents  |tussey
[05:00] <fous> what issue u have CyberAgeVoodoo ?
[05:00] <gerg> okay.  I'm getting a black screen after the splash.  is there any way to adjust the display settings Pre splash screen?
[05:00] <JPSman> !sound
[05:00] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[05:00] <Owlin> Appreciate the thoughts.  Glad I found this group.  I will most likely be back.  Hope ubuntu is all it seems to be.
[05:01] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, the partitioner on it makes a /home partition by default, i dont like that
[05:01] <JPSman> HOW do i ensure ALSA is selected?
[05:01] <CyberAgeVoodoo> Nope did not work
[05:01] <jickles> How can I paste replace into a textbox using middle click? If I select the text, press delete, then middle click - obviously that doesn't work
[05:01] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, oh...well why not? sure wished ubuntu had done that when i first installed it
[05:01] <Ashfire908> gerg, does it get to the login screen
[05:01] <CyberAgeVoodoo> Fous Scroll up I responded to you eariler
[05:01] <gerg> no
[05:01] <Ashfire908> gerg, what does it do?
[05:02] <gerg> the splash (ubuntu with moving progress bar)  then goes to a black screen
[05:02] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, oh my lord, now im just at a list of system config files im sposed to edit with Vi lol
[05:02] <Haemoth> I get no audio when I resume from suspend. How do I fix that? Is there a way I can bring my audio back alive without rebooting?
[05:02] <gerg> BTW the splash is about 1/4 of the size
[05:02] <CyberAgeVoodoo> MasterShrek, would it matter if the computer is not in a domain and in "workgroup"
[05:02] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, i dont like to restrict my / partion at all, whenever i make a /home partition i always fill it up
[05:02] <gerg> ie: only the top left corner is displayed
[05:02] <MasterShrek> CyberAgeVoodoo, it may have an issue if its not in the right workgroup
[05:02] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, think ima wait for u 2 catch up
[05:02] <gerg> like it's 1024x768 showing in a 800x600 window
[05:02] <Rian-Davide> what's up all is there a ubuntu off topic channel?
[05:03] <Evanlec> #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:03] <CyberAgeVoodoo> where in linux do I make sure that I am in the right workgroup?
[05:03] <qwstar> hi, how can I cause USB disks to be auto-mounted synchronously? (with gnome-volume-manager)
[05:03] <Ashfire908> gerg, so it never gets to a login screen?

[05:03] <wiw> Is there an easy way for k/ubuntu to recognize the dell 1505n wireless card (broadcom 4328)?

[05:27] <rabidweezle> ok
[05:27] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, okay what else do i need to provide to useradd?
[05:27] <Teknomancer> one quick question:   i have solaris which has its specialized grub in MBR,  does Ubuntu gutsy 7.10  overwrite MBR without asking? Because i don't want it to touch MBR rendering my solaris unbootable ...
[05:27] <rabidweezle> lemme see...
[05:27] <gerg> EvanLec:  I boot to recovery mode. type in sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg.. press ENTER and watch...  it goes to a black screen and won't take any input

[05:28] <Evanlec> can u see what ur typing?
[05:28] <Peddy> I get this error when trying to install pidgin-plugin-pack from Synaptic or apt-get: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45198/. Can someone please help me?
[05:28] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, maybe adduser  one of them doesnt require parameters and prompts you for everything

[05:28] <Evanlec> after pressing enter, u need to give your root/user password and hit enter again

[05:29] <gerg> I'm not prompted for a password
[05:29] <brandon_> I need help installing wine gecko for steam
[05:29] <MasterShrek> Peddy, isnt there a pidgin plugin package in the repos?
[05:29] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, yea that works, thx
[05:29] <Snuxoll> brandon_: When steam needs it WINE should automatically prompt to install it
[05:29] <Peddy> MasterShrek: that's where I am (trying) to install it from
[05:29] <Evanlec> gerg, tahts probly cuz u cant see it prompting u
[05:29] <Rainpoint> Still absolutely getting no sound
[05:29] <Evanlec> actually that doesnt make any sense
[05:29] <Evanlec> i ahve no idea
[05:30] <MasterShrek> oh Peddy lol, i didnt look at ur link... looking now
[05:30] <rabidweezle> Snuxoll, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45199/
[05:30] <gerg> it looks like it's switching display settings.. like trying to move to a gui interface (not command line)
[05:30] <Snuxoll> rabidweezle: run glxinfo | grep direct
[05:30] <Rainpoint> >_>
[05:30] <gerg> because it's not configured correctly, it hangs
[05:30] <Haemoth_> How do I wake up my sound card?
[05:30] <Rainpoint> I've already tried the links at !sound; I still can't.
[05:31] <gerg> is there a .conf file I can edit from recovery mode to change the display settings?
[05:31] <alber1> xorg.conf ?
[05:31] <rabidweezle> Snuxoll, DirectRendering: Yes
[05:31] <gerg> how do I get to that?
[05:31] <MasterShrek> Peddy, maybe try removing that purple-plugin-pack
[05:31] <Snuxoll> gerg: /etc/X11/xorf.conf
[05:31] <alber1> xorf!
[05:31] <alber1> w00t
[05:31] <Snuxoll> lol
[05:31] <Snuxoll> xorg even :P
[05:31] <emid> Does anyone have any idea as to why all my menu icons disappeared? By menus I mean Applications, Places, and System.
[05:31] <gerg> any idea what I change?

[05:32] <Ryen> Can anybody  help me ?
[05:32] <V1k1ng> whoops
[05:32] <toresn> hello
[05:32] <gerg> at least you're realistic
[05:32] <alber1> see if there's a backup in that folder
 sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[05:32] <Ryen> I cannot start GDM normally!
[05:32] <alber1> ooh alch3mist knows!
[05:32] <toresn> are anyone here using MOC (music on console)?
[05:32] <gerg> alch3mist:  already tried that
[05:32] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, my install is done, going to reboot to my new kernel also..brb
[05:32] <Snuxoll> rabidweezle: Did you restart X after you changed that config file?
[05:33] <roger21> hello
[05:33] <rabidweezle> yep
[05:33] <Pogonip> Haemoth/alch3mist; thanks for the info.
[05:33] <gerg> same result.. looks like it boots to X and hangs at a blackscree
[05:33] <gerg> *n
[05:33] <rabidweezle> Snuxoll, I did the ctrl+alt+backspace method
[05:33] <Haemoth_> yw :)
[05:33] <toresn> how do i get it (MOC) to support the m4a/aac-format?
[05:33] <Snuxoll> rabidweezle: I'm not sure what's going on then....
[05:33] <alch3mist> i just happen to have problems with Xserv since ubuntu 5 ... lolz
[05:34] <toresn> are anyone here using MOC (music on console)?
[05:34] <toresn> how do i get it (MOC) to support the m4a/aac-format?
[05:34] <Haemoth_> What's the command to wake up the soundcard?
[05:34] <Snuxoll> rabidweezle: It can't (for some reason) use 32bit color (AARRGGBB), which is what that ARGBVisuals statement is supposed to enable
[05:34] <jickles> does anyone know whether there is something like "winsplit revolution" for linux?
[05:34] <alber1> what does that do?
[05:35] <jickles> it allows you to reposition windows with the keyboard, so for example ctrl-alt-numpad6 makes a window fill half the screen horizontally
[05:35] <jickles> seems like wmii might do it
[05:35] <alber1> oh interesting
[05:36] <Snuxoll> Anyone else here got some insight on rabidweezle's issue?
[05:36] <BWAA> i know this is ubuntu room but doesn anyone know where to get a good t-shirt outline to design t-shirts on in like gimp or photoshop????????
[05:36] <alber1> lol
[05:36] <brandon_> I just installed steam and opened after updating and entering my username and password I tried to log in and it said I needed to install wine gecko so I attempted to  click the download button to find that it wouldn't let me so I clicked X button and an error popped up Steam.exe (main exception): Win32 StructuredException at 7A06315D : Attempt to read from virtual address 68 without appropriate access rights.

 i am using xp right now cause i am using photoshop
[05:38] <gerg> panasonic toughbook cf-m34
[05:38] <alch3mist> when i have  problems with xorg i usually deleted the xorg.conf and reconfigure it...
[05:38] <alber1> rabidweezle: ive had that problem before... but not since fusion
[05:38] <BWAA> but i can switch to my ubuntu to do somthin if thats what is needed
[05:38] <gerg> really?
[05:38] <gerg> should I just delete it?
[05:38] <alber1> gerg: just move it to oldconf.bak
[05:38] <Snuxoll> Bah, I need some sleep
[05:38] <alber1> incase u want to reference it later
[05:38] <Snuxoll> Good night everyone
 xara works for me... just a suggestion though
[05:39] <brandon_> Snuxoll: sh: Can't open winetricks
[05:39] <BWAA> ok thanx
[05:39] <MilitantPotato> What does Flushed IO / Cached IO do when mounting a partiton?
[05:39] <alch3mist> gerg : better back it up
[05:39] <Teknomancer> anyone knows if Ubuntu installer prompt before rewriting MBR?
[05:39] <Creationist> When using the proprietary nVidia drivers, I cannot set my resolution to my monitor's native (1400x1050).  When doing that, the image only uses about 75% of my monitor's width.  What should I do?
[05:39] <alber1> militant: i think that's to do with either cache it or flush the transactions
[05:40] <alber1> creationist: you prolly need to change ur monitor type, or if that's already correct, change ur video mode list to have that value
[05:40] <MilitantPotato> yea I gathered that, which is faster, any ups or downs between the two?
[05:40] <alber1> militant: lol, if you use flushed it's prolly safer, if u use cached prolly faster, but if power fails u might lose data
[05:40] <Kassah> is there a way to turn off the compiz effect when there is a new window. it's kinda wierd looking when it pulls from accross two screens.
[05:40] <toresn> are anyone here using MOC (music on console)?
[05:40] <toresn> how do i get it (MOC) to support the m4a/aac-format?
[05:41] <toresn> i've already installed the package ffmpeg
[05:41] <Haemoth_> What's the command to wake up the soundcard? I lost my audio after I resumed from suspend.
[05:41] <alber1> kassah: have u tried the compiz settings manager app
[05:41] <alber1> haemoth: shutdown -r now, hehe
[05:41] <Haemoth_> hah
[05:41] <alber1> ;)
[05:41] <Kassah> alber1: happen to know the command path to start that? I don't see it in the menus
[05:41] <alber1> then write an angry letter
[05:41] <alber1> sec
[05:42] <Hemebond> Hi everyone. Little emergency. Pidgin opened a whole lot of tabs at once, each with its own "boing" sound and now that sound is looping continuously. How do I restart the audio devices?
[05:42] <alch3mist> why do enbling the "debian" menu in "main menu editor" doesn't work?
[05:42] <Creationist> alber1: Well, the monitor selected is correct (Generic LCD Panel 1400x1050), but it's running at 58hz refresh max.  My monitor requires 60hz at it's native resolution.
[05:42] <brandon_>  I just installed steam and opened after updating and entering my username and password I tried to log in and it said I needed to install wine gecko so I attempted to  click the download button to find that it wouldn't let me so I clicked X button and an error popped up Steam.exe (main exception): Win32 StructuredException at 7A06315D : Attempt to read from virtual address 68 without appropriate access rights.
[05:42] <alber1> creationist: check the video mode list where u list the resolutions and color depths ur video card can do
[05:43] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[05:43] <Creationist> alber1: What am I looking for?
[05:43] <Haemoth_> Creationist: I had the same problem but after I disabled twinview, I was able to use the optimum resolution.
[05:43] <Creationist> alber1: It can do 1400x1050x32 at 60hz
[05:43] <alber1> kassah: i don't know the command line, but i added it in the package manager gui, then system->preferences-> advanced desktop effects settings
[05:43] <Haemoth_> *refresh rate
[05:43] <Creationist> Haemoth_: Is twinview enabled by default?
[05:43] <alber1> kassah: it's called CompizConfig
[05:43] <Hemebond> MilitantPotato: Didn't work.
[05:43] <MilitantPotato> sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[05:43] <Haemoth_> Creationist: Are you using an nVidia card?
[05:43] <zemonstas> i'm having trouble with alsa and usb audio - my ua-4fx card isn't being found
[05:43] <Creationist> Haemoth_: Yes.
[05:43] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[05:44] <MilitantPotato> argh.
[05:44] <Creationist> Haemoth_: Geforce 7600GT
[05:44] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[05:44] <Haemoth_> MilitantPotato: I did that already, but that didn't bring my audio back.
[05:44] <reset> hi
[05:44] <Kassah> alber1: huh... not there
[05:44] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_: any chance ya muted it? :)
[05:44] <Haemoth_> MilitantPotato: No i didn't
[05:44] <alber1> kassah: then go install it ;) system->admin->synaptic packagemanager thingy then search
[05:44] <butu> yeah i'm root
[05:45] <Haemoth_> Creationist: in your xorg.conf, under section "device", add ... Option "DynamicTwinview" "false"
[05:45] <Haemoth_> Creationist: See if that fixes the problem
[05:45] <brandon_>  I just installed steam and opened after updating and entering my username and password I tried to log in and it said I needed to install wine gecko so I attempted to  click the download button to find that it wouldn't let me so I clicked X button and an error popped up Steam.exe (main exception): Win32 StructuredException at 7A06315D : Attempt to read from virtual address 68 without appropriate access rights.
[05:45] <Creationist> Haemoth_: That will possibly fix Ubuntu only using 75% of my monitor?  That seems a bit much.
[05:45] <alber1> lol
[05:46] <alber1> creationist: xorg.conf is a bit much :(
[05:46] <Creationist> alber1: Good point.
[05:46] <alber1> lol
[05:46] <Ryen> ?
[05:46] <miraage> Any reason why I have a group with the same name as my user name?
[05:46] <kevin> !video capture
[05:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about video capture - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:47] <Haemoth_> Creationist: Nah, it's got to do with detection of dual monitors, I think. After I added that option, I'm using my monitor at 1920x1200 @ 60Hz. It was giving me only 50Hz without that option
[05:47] <JPSman> How do I configure my sound card?
[05:47] <alber1> creationist: if you go to the screen resolution in preferences, do you see your resolution in the drop down?
[05:47] <Creationist> alber1: Yes.
[05:47] <alber1> is it selected?
[05:47] <brandon_> how do I install wine gecko?
[05:48] <alber1> silly question nm
[05:48] <Creationist> alber1: Right now I have 1400x1050 selected and running at the max of 58hz refresh rate.
[05:48] <alber1> zz
[05:48] <Haemoth_> MilitantPotato: Is there anything else I could do, or check why I'm not getting audio?
[05:48] <alber1> do you know ur lcd native?
[05:48] <alber1> 1680?
[05:48] <Creationist> alber1: That is my LCD's native.
[05:48] <alber1> oh ok
[05:48] <kevin> !cd burning issues
[05:48] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_: try changing from alsa to OSS
[05:48] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, it work?
[05:48] <Haemoth_> MilitantPotato: I did that too
[05:49] <alber1> yeh i duno then .. sounds like a some funny driver issue
[05:49] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_: rebooting doesn't help?
[05:49] <brandon_> how do I install wine gecko
[05:49] <alber1> could trouble shoot by using non-propriatary driver
[05:49] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, not really...its whining about my locale, i dont think i set it up right
[05:49] <Creationist> alber1: Well, it's a plug-n-play monitor... doesn't need drivers.
[05:49] <Haemoth_> MilitantPotato: Rebooting helps, yes. But that defeats the whole purpose of using suspend.
[05:49] <alber1> creationist: i mean the video card driver
[05:49] <MilitantPotato> Ohhh, suspend.
[05:49] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, i didnt feel like editing a bunch of files during the install, and i think its fuxt up
[05:49] <MilitantPotato> ah one sec
[05:49] <Creationist> alber1: It's worth noting that the native resolution works flawlessly with the OSS nvidia drivers.
[05:49] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, me too...i dunno how to install any new packages
[05:49] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, doesnt seem like a very friendly installer
[05:49] <alber1> creationist: i remember back in the day ati only supported 4:3 resolutions... took forever to get 16:10
[05:49] <MasterShrek> pacman aparently Evanlec, but im not really sure how to use it
[05:50] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, yea, i run pacman and it says current locale is invalid using default
[05:50] <gerg> WOOT!
[05:50] <alber1> lol
[05:50] <alber1> w00t!!
[05:50] <alber1> im glad someone's happy
[05:50] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, on an unrelated note, do u specify "vga=xxx" in your kernel boot line in menu.lst ?
[05:50] <Hemebond> :-(
[05:50] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, on my host or guest?
[05:51] <gerg> deleting xorg.conf worked
[05:51] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, host
[05:51] <gerg> got to a login screen
[05:51] <alber1> lesson: always delete ur conf files when something isnt working
 : i told you...
[05:51] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, i use lilo, but i use 791
[05:51] <brandon_>  I just installed steam and opened after updating and entering my username and password I tried to log in and it said I needed to install wine gecko so I attempted to  click the download button to find that it wouldn't let me so I clicked X button and an error popped up Steam.exe (main exception): Win32 StructuredException at 7A06315D : Attempt to read from virtual address 68 without appropriate access rights.
[05:51] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, i set it to 773 on the arch install and i get a nice 1024x768 tty...but doesnt seemt o work when i set it on my host config
[05:51] <alber1> lol well hey i never disagreed with that one !
[05:51] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_:  sudo mkdir /var/run/alsa
[05:51] <MilitantPotato> sudo /etc/init.d/alsa force-reload
[05:51] <MilitantPotato> sudo /etc/init.d/alsa resume
[05:51] <gerg> display is not displaying correctly, but at least now I'm in a gui
[05:52] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, mine is widescreen tho
[05:52] <alber1> good enough
[05:52] <alber1> put it in a box and call it vista!
 :... see deleting works...
[05:52] <Creationist> Haemoth_: Alright, well I'll give your suggestion a try.  Gotta restart X... brb.
[05:52] <gerg> alber1: ... kinda
[05:52] <Haemoth_> Creationist: Do let me know if it worked :)

[06:00] <ljsmithx> ok
[06:00] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_: try reset or restart, not sure which.
[06:00] <tim> Guys i can't Connect to battle net though wine!
[06:00] <IndyGunFreak> !anyone | derek01
[06:00] <ubotu> derek01: 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?
[06:00] <MilitantPotato> my vote goes for restart.
[06:00] <alch3mist> go wine
[06:00] <rabidweezle> Haemoth_,  beat me on the draw by a mile lol
[06:00] <coyctecm> i'm programmer, mostly programming windows stuff .net and win32 api. i've started thinking that i should switch to linux.
[06:01] <rabidweezle> good choice coyctecm
[06:01] <alber1> w00t!
[06:01] <derek01> Does anybody know why when i boot my ubuntu Cd (tried multiple ones) i get " Busybox V1.1.3 " ?
[06:01] <alch3mist> coyctecm : ywah.. but mono is buggy
[06:01] <alber1> coyctecm is about to become a real coder methinks
[06:01] <Haemoth_> MilitantPotato: I did both restart, and reset... My audio is still not working
[06:01] <ljsmithx> And just an other question
[06:01] <cmatheson> anyone aware of a dyndns client that can discover ip based on a lookup as opposed to router/interface method?  i used to use one, but i can't recall what it was now
[06:01] <ljsmithx> Is a 25 degrees celcius good???
[06:01] <alber1> uuh
[06:01] <ljsmithx> For my CPU temp?
[06:02] <alch3mist> is it freezing?
[06:02] <rabidweezle> sure
[06:02] <alber1> yeh
[06:02] <rabidweezle> course, it's kinda cool
[06:02] <alber1> mine is 25ish too
[06:02] <ljsmithx> Cool(pun intended)
[06:02] <Haemoth_> cmatheson: inadyn
[06:02] <alch3mist> wow.. you can chill a beer in there
[06:02] <Apan> yes thats good, 21 is room temperature...
[06:02] <cmatheson> Haemoth_: thanks, i'll check that out.  does that run as a daemon, or do i just throw it in a cronjob?
[06:02] <rabidweezle> wish I could keep my laptop that cool lol
[06:02] <rabidweezle> my laptop is running at 37 right now
[06:02] <IndyGunFreak> derek01: never heard that error, does it just freeze on that error?
[06:02] <alch3mist> mine is 42 c
[06:02] <alber1> easy fix move to canada
[06:02] <V1k1ng> my laptop runs cooler with ubuntu
[06:02] <Haemoth_> cmatheson: It has an option to run it as a daemon.
[06:03] <cmatheson> Haemoth_: great, thanks
[06:03] <derek01> Indygunfreak: its a shell
[06:03] <ljsmithx> Lol, I got the pc yesterday. It has a lcd on the box that says the temp and currently it says 34degrees. but the bios says around 25
[06:03] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[06:03] <rabidweezle> Course I had to isntall special stuff and I have to run gkrellm to keep my laptop fans running... I love dell's but that shouldn't require all that...
[06:03] <rabidweezle> install*
[06:03] <alber1> who to believe!?
[06:03] <alber1> bios or lcds?
[06:03] <Haemoth_> MilitantPotato: Do I need to restart X?
[06:03] <MilitantPotato> not for those
[06:04] <ljsmithx> BIOS!
[06:04] <Apan> maybe one is the case temperature and the other is the cpu
[06:04] <alber1> lol
[06:04] <alber1> maybe it's fahrenheit
[06:04] <rabidweezle> 34 ain't really bad either ljsmithx
[06:04] <Haemoth_> MilitantPotato: Anything I could do to check what's wrong?
[06:04] <ljsmithx> Awesome
[06:04] <derek01> its sya Busybox v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)
[06:04] <Apan> 25 seems to low to me =/
[06:04] <JustRob> Is there a way to copy files from a cd and strip their permissions at the same time?
[06:04] <Haemoth_> MilitantPotato: Btw, I didn't understand what the point was, of creating that alsa-utils directory. It is empty.
[06:04] <Apan> i mean, to low to be realistic
[06:04] <alber1> my q6600 is at 25ish.. on the same board the chipset is at 35ish

[06:07] <arun_> if i use the ubuntu feisty fawn live cd on a windows machine, does the live cd automatically mount the windows drives?
[06:07] <arun_> i am trying to recover some files on a friend's computer
[06:07] <ljsmithx> alberl, your cool
[06:07] <IndyGunFreak> arun_: no i don't think so...
[06:07] <IndyGunFreak> arun_: the gutsy CD's do.
[06:07] <alber1> arun_: hmm somehow i doubt it, but you can make it mount using mount command
[06:07] <MilitantPotato> really...
[06:07] <alber1> lol
[06:07] <arun_> IndyGunFreak: you sure?
[06:08] <IndyGunFreak> arun_: almost 100%.
[06:08] <Evanlec> bahhhh why does settin vga=791 not work!@!
[06:08] <ljsmithx> Compiz Is sweeet on this thing
[06:08] <arun_> IndyGunFreak: the gutsy live cd mounts the windows drives automatically?
[06:09] <ljsmithx> Wobbly windows FTWQ!!
[06:09] <V1k1ng> anyone know how to debug the config file that controls the splash screen between grub and login?
[06:09] <alber1> lol
[06:09] <IndyGunFreak> arun_: on my PC(which dualboots), when i installed 7.10, it automounted my XP Home drive, but i use the alternate install CD, but I can only imagine that means it would have mounted fine on a live CD.
[06:09] <MilitantPotato> V1k1ng: what was the command again?  vga=false right?
[06:09] <IndyGunFreak> arun_: hold on, i think I have a Live CD, I'll boot it on my PC and check
[06:09] <arun_> IndyGunFreak: alright, thanks :)
[06:09] <blkorpheus> winbind will not install

[06:10] <JustRob> Alright, I have a CD of photos from my last vacation. The permissions are set so that only the owner (a dead user account from an ooooold box install) can view them. Is there a way to copy the files and reset their permissions at the same time?
[06:10] <blkorpheus> apt stalls at starting winbind
[06:10] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_: huh.
[06:10] <alber1> justrob: chmod
[06:10] <V1k1ng> MilitantPotato, i don't know!  there are two strategies on the forums...one involves killing the splash screen, the other involves resetting the screen variables
[06:10] <Haemoth_> MilitantPotato: It says command not found
[06:10] <jimjam> How can I mount an ext3 drive such that anyone can edit it (i.e. through nautilus)?
[06:10] <alber1> justrob: in the pic folder sudo chmod -R 777 *
[06:10] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_: yea, one sec.
[06:10] <Haemoth_> okay.
[06:11] <jimjam> I just bought an external and I hate having to sudo everything
[06:11] <V1k1ng> MilitantPotato,   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=580903&highlight=slow+boot
[06:11] <JustRob> hmm, didn't think a CD could be chmodded
[06:11] <musikgoat> jimjam: mount with user permissions
[06:11] <musikgoat> in options  put user
[06:11] <alber1> justrob: ok well yeah copy them off first :)
[06:11] <JustRob> won't even let me copy them
[06:11] <alber1> justrob: you can at least +R for everyone at least
[06:11] <jimjam> musikgoat: Any way to do that so the automounting-when-plugging-in-USB does it for me?
[06:12] <ljsmithx> So I shouldnt worry about temp?
[06:12] <JustRob> access is set to owner only
[06:12] <arun_> IndyGunFreak: any luck?
[06:12] <musikgoat> jimjam: maybe in udev, but i don't know how, sorry
[06:12] <alber1> justrob: root always has access... so run w/e as sudo or root
[06:12] <JustRob> I can see the files in nautilus and terminal, but can't do anything with them
[06:12] <JustRob> ah
[06:12] <alber1> justrob: they don't call it root for nothing!
[06:12] <IndyGunFreak> arun_: i just found it, its booting now.

[06:16] <alber1> good idea
[06:16] <IndyGunFreak> arun_: yes, all i had to do was go to Computer, right click my windows drive and mount it, no chmodding, etcl.

[06:17] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_: look for your soundcard module
[06:17] <JustRob> well then, that did it. Thanks all
[06:17] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_: then insert it to this bit
[06:18] <MilitantPotato> sudo /sbin/modprobe -r MODULE && /abin/modprobe MODULE
[06:18] <MilitantPotato> replace module with your sound card module.

[06:20] <alber1> mred: try installing ffmpeg
[06:20] <mred> hmm ok
[06:20] <mred> lemme try that

[06:23] <bazhang> nomad111: the past few days--or always
[06:23] <arun_> IndyGunFreak: really appreciate it. yeah it worked. for some reason the feisty live cd also seems to mount the drives automatically

[06:23] <nomad111> bazhang: i read that it was ipv6 related
[06:24] <interceptor> how to jump to russian channel ?
[06:24] <nomad111> bazhang: so i disabled that globally
[06:24] <derek01> indygunfreak: can you still help me with my [roblem
[06:24] <mred> i have w32 codecs and mplayer compiled from source
[06:24] <nomad111> but no luck
[06:24] <derek01> prob;em*
[06:24] <IndyGunFreak> derek01: what problem was that?
[06:24] <mred> all other files play fine except this particular one
[06:24] <alber1> mred: maybe it's some funky codec not in the linux land
[06:24] <interceptor> can anyone say me ?
[06:24] <derek01> indygunfreak: whenever i boot i get busybox some kind of debian shell
[06:24] <mred> it used to play fine on my previous ubuntu install
[06:24] <IndyGunFreak> derek01: i have no idea what would cause that.
[06:25] <alber1> mred: no clue then :(
[06:25] <bullgard4> What is the filename of the gnome-power-manager applet?
[06:25] <Evanlec> anyone here able to get vga=xxx working on their kernel boot line in menu.lst?
[06:25] <bazhang> nomad111: I would suspect that it is an isp related thing, or even internet wide--do other computers you run access the internet normally?
[06:25] <mred> alber1: thanks anyway :)
[06:25] <ous> mred: I assume that you have the restricted extras installed?
[06:25] <interceptor> i wanna to jump ru chanel - how to do it via command ?
[06:25] <interceptor> !ru or what ?
[06:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ru or what ? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:25] <nomad111> bazhang: that aint true
[06:26] <mred> ous: umm restricted ?
[06:26] <nomad111> because under windows it is way faster
[06:26] <Haemoth_> Anyone know how I can find my sound module?
[06:26] <nomad111> and this is only computer on right now
[06:26] <bazhang> interceptor: type /join #ubuntu-ru
[06:26] <nomad111> in the house
[06:26] <jickles> is it true that kde has much better multi-monitor support than gnome?
[06:26] <mred> ous: i got the binary codecs pack from mplayer site and used them
[06:26] <alber1> jickles: i doubt it
[06:26] <bazhang> nomad111: ok; just trying to narrow it down
[06:26] <nomad111> i googled "gutsy slow internet" and i was suprised to find several people complain about the same proble
[06:27] <nomad111> ye i understand
[06:27] <nomad111> there is bug in launchpad about it as well
[06:27] <interceptor> thankz
[06:27] <nomad111> i cant find the link anymore
[06:27] <interceptor> it works
[06:27] <alber1> nomad111: u can prolly google "anyosversion and slow internet" and you will get hits ;)
[06:27] <bazhang> nomad111: what are your ping times to various sites?
[06:27] <ous> mred: yeah... just go to Add/Remove Programs, search for "ubuntu restricted extras" and install it... might do the trick
[06:28] <ous> mred: you using gutsy right?
[06:28] <mred> ous: k will try
[06:28] <mred> yes
[06:28] <mred> ous: xubuntu gutsy though

[06:30] <Evanlec> anyone here able to get vga=xxx working on their kernel boot line in menu.lst?
[06:30] <alber1> one thing ive noticed in linux is that dns lookups can be slower if you dont have a local dns server

[06:35] <Clearze2> Well, I would suggest ettercap as well nmap john you know the usual suspects
[06:36] <alber1> i know the trick to make ubuntu run like vista

[06:36] <alber1> ur user doesnt have w rights to /home
[06:36] <alber1> myghtetek: put sudo infront of that
[06:36] <nomad111> i thought some one had heard of this issue here but it doesnt seem all that common
[06:37] <myghetek> I am sudo
[06:37] <alber1> also ... what's -v ?
[06:37] <alber1> lol
[06:37] <nomad111> i have to go to windows right now *ducks down* so i can do some work

[06:37] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_:  sudo /etc/init.d/alsamixer force-reload

[06:38] <bebe> bye everyone

[06:39] <warlock_handler> hi guys
[06:39] <Haemoth_> MilitantPotato: I got it! It was modprobe -r snd-hda-intel and modprobe -r snd-hda-intel
[06:39] <MilitantPotato> sweet :D
[06:39] <warlock_handler> can anyone here suggest any room for html design? i have few CSS doubts
[06:39] <myghetek> Clearze2: I want to move every file, directory and subdirectory from one folder to another.
[06:40] <Haemoth_> MilitantPotato: So there should be some way that I can get it to automatically modprobe -r and modprobe when I suspend, right?
[06:40] <MilitantPotato> Haemoth_: now all you have to do is make a script :)
[06:40] <Haemoth_> Yeah :D
[06:40] <Haemoth_> Which file do I add the commands to?
[06:40] <MilitantPotato> no idea there
[06:40] <MilitantPotato> i g2g
[06:40] <MilitantPotato> my wife wants me to go to bed
[06:40] <Clearze2> I would say use mv -R * /destination/folder and don't use a trailing slash
[06:40] <Haemoth_> Okay
[06:41] <myghetek> Clearze2: so you are suggesting that I run that command from within the source folder?
[06:41] <Clearze2> yeah, it won't move the containing folder however
[06:41] <myghetek> ok I will try
[06:41] <alber1> i would just run it at /home/user/mv folder1 folder2
[06:41] <alber1> no need to cd all over
[06:42] <alber1> and just rm -rf oldfolder
[06:42] <myghetek> it didn't understand the -R
[06:42] <Clearze2> myghetek: just for future reference you can use mv [a-z].*  or mv [1-9].* as wildcards as well.
[06:42] <alber1> i think -R is invalid
[06:43] <myghetek> oh! it worked
[06:43] <alber1> for mv
[06:43] <Clearze2> myghetek: use lowercase
[06:43] <Clearze2> let me check
[06:43] <myghetek> Clearze2: it worked perfect thanks!
[06:43] <Clearze2> myghetek: np
[06:43] <alber1> haemoth_: try /usr/local/sbin/resume.sh
[06:44] <nickalphabeta> im new to linux, whats the quickest way to install the anjuta IDE?
[06:44] <alber1> maybe append to that? i uno

[06:45] <cE_RiweZ> uu
[06:45] <Haemoth_> alber1: Does that file exist with a default install, or am I creating it for the first time now?
[06:45] <alber1> haemoth_: i was wrong it's at /etc/acpi
[06:45] <Clearze2> jickles: It's in the compiz configuration manager
[06:45] <Clearze2> jickles: type ccsm in a terminal if you have it installed
[06:45] <alber1> my brain only works 50%
[06:46] <ous> nickalphabeta: go add/remove and search for that IDE... you should be able to find it
[06:46] <jickles> Clearze2, ty
[06:46] <IndyGunFreak> jickles: well, if its not in the repos, you'll have to compileit.
[06:46] <jickles> no problem
[06:46] <PirateHead> jickles: A friend of mine convinced a tech support guy that his computer had been possessed by a demonic hacker... the guy ended up googling "pentagram of flame on desktop". Hah!
[06:46] <alber1> jickles: try adding more repos first?
[06:46] <ous> hey could anyone help me out with this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=617611
[06:46] <Clearze2> jickles: ccsm can be installed with apt
[06:46] <toresn> hmm... i'm running a couple of external usb disks plugged into my laptop, but after some time i can't access them... i get the error message "The folder contents could not be displayed."
[06:46] <toresn> what can i do about this
[06:46] <toresn> ?
[06:46] <jickles> Clearze2, ah excellent I just installed and ran it, looks great
[06:46] <jickles> PirateHead, that's hilarious
[06:47] <PirateHead> noresn: as a workaround, remove them and plug them back in.
[06:47] <toresn> when trying to access them in terminal i get a Input/output error
[06:47] <toresn> PirateHead: There isn't any other way?
[06:47] <Clearze2> toresn: You are having some kind of hardware problem more than likely
[06:47] <PirateHead> toresn: There probably is, and flash drives shouldn't do that. I'm just suggesting a workaround.
[06:48] <jickles> PirateHead, that's hilarious
[06:48] <jickles> oops
[06:48] <BaD-Laptop> usb puts hardware to sleep. it's common. it used to happen to me all the time until i installed and ran powertop
[06:48] <Clearze2> toresn: I would suggest removing any valuable info from them before they die
[06:48] <PirateHead> toresn: It's definitely a bug, so you might want to submit it to the Ubuntu bug tracker. Flash drives should not become unusable after inactivity,.
[06:48] <Clearze2> toresn: I've had drives die on me right after doing things like that. But it could be something else.
[06:49] <Clearze2> you could run fsck to check them
[06:49] <putineq> How to disable Gnome in Ubuntu??
[06:50] <jickles> Clearze2, how do I apply the changes once I've made them? Restart X ?
[06:50] <Clearze2> putineq:sudo aptitude install kubuntu
[06:50] <Clearze2> jickles: You should be able to reload compiz with something like compiz --replace &
[06:51] <Clearze2> but restarting x will work too
[06:51] <toresn> Clearze2: they work again after plugging them in and out
[06:52] <toresn> i really don't think it's got anything to do with the disks... two of the disks are fairly new
[06:52] <Clearze2> toresn: Cool deal. I would still run a check on them to be safe. But that's just me.
[06:52] <Haemoth_> http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=6969 <--- This is my /etc/acpi/resume.h .. Where in this do I add modprobe -r snd-hda-intel and modprobe snd-hda-intel?

[06:53] <toresn> Clearze2: how do you do this in Ubuntu? (i only recently switched from windows)
[06:53] <toresn> cold turkey i might add
[06:53] <alber1> haemoth: if you just read that script, it seems like any file.sh you place in the folder /etc/acpi/resume.d/ will get executed :)
[06:53] <trollboy> is there a hack to get ubuntu to run 3 monitors?
[06:54] <interceptor> #ubuntu-ru
[06:54] <IndyGunFreak> trollboy: i wouldn't call it a hack,
[06:54] <Haemoth_> alber1: So I basically type the two commands in a text file, and save it as sound.sh in /etc/acpi/resume.d/ and that's it?
[06:54] <IndyGunFreak> !twinview | trollboy
[06:54] <ubotu> trollboy: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead

[06:54] <alber1> haemoth: that's what it looks like!.. . but im new at this and guessing blindly
[06:54] <alber1> lol!
[06:54] <Haemoth_> okay
[06:54] <alber1> gl :D!
[06:55] <Clearze2> Clearze2: Do what? Run a check I use fsck. I'll give you a command that will work hang on
[06:55] <Haemoth_> Do I need to chmod +x for .sh files?
[06:55] <alber1> yeh
[06:55] <Haemoth_> okay.
[06:55] <Haemoth_> :)
[06:55] <alber1> might not need in that case cuz it's plopping it in like an include into a file that already has +x
[06:55] <alber1> but i would do it anyway for good measure
[06:56] <Haemoth_> Okay
[06:56] <alber1> and u can ln it in ur PATH as dirtyfix
[06:56] <alber1> so u can run from anywhere
[06:56] <Haemoth_> alber1: And this file will already have root privileges?
[06:56] <Clearze2> toresn: what type of file system is the disk formatted to?
[06:57] <alber1> haemoth: im assuming since the folder needs u to be root in the first place to put stuff there, and it's run by a root service... should be fine
[06:57] <Haemoth_> okay
[06:57] <Haemoth_> Trying it now
[06:57] <Clearze2> toresn: Are the usb disks vfat, ext3?? NTFS?
[06:57] <toresn> Clearze2: ntfs
[06:58] <Clearze2> toresn:  Can't use fsck then, I think you can use tune2fs let me check
[06:58] <Flughafen> can someone help me with my movie players?

[06:59] <alber1> flughafen: what media player is it
[07:00] <Flughafen> both totem with gstreamer and vlc
[07:00] <alber1> hmm
[07:00] <Clearze2> toresn: If you run sudo tune2fs -c 1   it will automatically scan your disk at your next startup. But you will have to run something like tune2fs -c 0 to disable it or it will run a check every time you boot.
[07:00] <Flughafen> alber1, both totem with gstreamer and vlc
[07:01] <brandon_> hey I am wanting to play you tube vidios but I don't know how to install flash player

[07:01] <alber1> brandon_: go search for flash player in synaptic?

[07:09] <randy-m> Is there anyone who can help me out with a display issue?  My logon screen is displaced by many pixels and uses the incorrect refresh rate, but the desktop loads properly.
[07:09] <bazhang> brandon_: did you have firefox running when you installed flash-plugin?
[07:09] <Clearze2> xivanari: Then you should install it
[07:09] <xivanari> gave me a command to get it running
[07:09] <brandon_> good point
[07:10] <Clearze2> sudo aptitude install ccsm; ccsm
[07:10] <xivanari> saying its still not installed.
[07:10] <Clearze2> sudo aptitude install ccsm -y; ccsm
[07:10] <xivanari> >.<
[07:10] <|thunder> hey all, what packages would be the most compatable with gutsy? ones for sarge, etch, lenny, or sid ?
[07:10] <abhibera> does any one know a CD burning app which i can host on a server and have a web based front end for my clients?
[07:10] <Clearze2> did that work?
[07:10] <xivanari> trying
[07:10] <xivanari> nope
[07:11] <|thunder> abhibera; none that I know of
[07:11] <Clearze2> Open Synaptic and search for compiz
[07:11] <Clearze2> xivanari: it should be listed there
[07:11] <xivanari> ok searching
[07:11] <brandon_> nope still doesn't work
[07:12] <|thunder> hey all, what packages would be the most compatable with gutsy? ones for sarge, etch, lenny, or sid ?
[07:12] <Clearze2> thunder: *DONT DO IT*
[07:12] <bazhang> xivanari: you should have something in your preferences called advanced desktop effects manager now
[07:12] <badKarma2> anybody know of a good app to remotely control computers in a secure windows environment? Something like Bo2k, but less shady
[07:12] <xivanari> not yet
[07:12] <Clearze2> badKarma2: ssh with X forwarding
[07:12] <xivanari> installing now
[07:12] <xivanari> :D
[07:12] <xivanari> thanks a ton guys
[07:12] <|thunder> Clearze2; not gonna work ?
[07:13] <alber1> lol
[07:13] <alber1> less shady
[07:13] <badKarma2> haha
[07:13] <Clearze2> |thunder: it will work, but it may break your system in unexpected ways
[07:13] <Haemoth> I need help creating a script in resume.d
[07:13] <badKarma2> rofl
[07:13] <Clearze2> |thunder: Especially when you upgrade
[07:13] <badKarma2> thats not what i need
[07:13] <pipelineaudio> ugh
[07:13] <badKarma2> i need an alternative to remote desktop
[07:13] <|thunder> Clearze2; lame,...
[07:14] <badKarma2> something that doesnt require vpn
[07:14] <pipelineaudio> reinstalled ubuntu and get weird errors if I put the RT kernel in
[07:14] <Clearze2> |thunder: What do you want to install?
[07:14] <lammy> hi all! anybody know about a litte restrained version of kiba-dock? - more like the dock under os/x ...
[07:14] <brandon_> I dont know how to fix this Ive had this for a while
[07:14] <brandon_> why wont it work
[07:14] <Clearze2> badKarma2: Use ssh, really you can do just about anything with it
[07:14] <|thunder> Clearze2; alsaplayer and the visualization plugins
 gnomerdp
[07:15] <badKarma2> thx guys
[07:15] <Clearze2> |thunder: You should be able to do that with apt. Search like this sudo aptitude search alsaplayer
[07:15]  * alch3mist is back (gone 01:02:41)
[07:15] <|thunder> Clearze2; yes, i did thanks, but the vis plugs are not in repo
[07:15] <Clearze2> |thunder: grab the source and compile them
[07:15] <badKarma2> Clearze2 is that something u would use in a business environment with very sensitive information?
[07:16] <|thunder> Clearze2; i think i'll have to. i prefer packages. thanks for your time
[07:16] <Haemoth> I need help creating a script in resume.d
[07:16] <Clearze2> badKarma2: yes, just set the key length to something higher than the default. Also, ssh is a pain with windows machines.
[07:16] <Haemoth> I saved it in /etc/acpi/resume.d and made it executable.. But I can't resume after I do that
[07:16] <xivanari> also, how do you change font colour?
[07:16] <xivanari> i cannot change it under background settings.
[07:17] <Clearze2> badKarma2: In that case just tunnel a vnc connection through a ssh tunnel
[07:17] <badKarma2> i c
[07:18] <Clearze2> badKarma2: You can use blowfish, AES, any of the ssh2 ciphers and be fairly secure.
[07:18] <badKarma2> mmm, i'll give that a try, thank u very much
[07:18] <Haemoth> I saved it in /etc/acpi/resume.d and made it executable.. But I can't resume after I do that
[07:19] <Haemoth> How do I put a script in resume.d
[07:19] <alber1> haernoth: i would troubleshoot by putting a different script there
[07:19] <xivanari> Clearze2: how do i get that window switching feature back?
[07:19] <alber1> haernoth: try moving that one out and just have one that has: touch test
[07:20] <alber1> haernoth: after resume see if it ran
[07:20] <alber1> haernoth: other than that im clueless of where to even begin
[07:20] <Haemoth> alber1: It doesn't resume anymore
[07:20] <Clearze2> xivanari: It's in the viewport switcher plugin. I don't remeber exactly where off the top of my head but I believe you can pick the # of desktops on the first tab of the configuration for that plugin.
[07:20] <alber1> haermoth: yeah but maybe it's cuz of the command right... so change the command and see if the fault is with command or just the resume script.. which i doubt :)
[07:21] <Haemoth> alber1: But the command works fine when I type it in the console
[07:21] <tato> test
[07:21] <Haemoth> alber1: Or should I prefix it with sudo?
[07:21] <xivanari> ok how do i change it to work with my mouse wheel?
[07:21] <alber1> haemoth: actually
[07:22] <jickles> can anyone recommend a nice gnome theme?
[07:22] <alber1> haemoth: start the script off with #!/bin/sh
[07:22] <Clearze2> Haemoth: then it would prompt for a password and not be run automatically.
[07:22] <alber1> haemoth: and then put 100-filename so that it runs last :)
[07:22] <alber1> haemoth: you really shouldnt have to sudo that at all
[07:22] <xivanari> jickles: aerolon
[07:22] <Haemoth> :S
[07:23] <alber1> haemoth: notice the other files in there start with a number, so im assuming that's order of them running
[07:23] <Haemoth> So I put #!/bin/sh before the commands?
[07:23] <Haemoth> okay
[07:23] <alber1> haemoth: no just at the start, like look at some of the other scripts as example..
[07:23] <Clearze2> Haemoth: you always have to start with a sha-bang
[07:23] <c0Ld> is there any way to bring back the printer icon if you decide to hide it?
[07:24] <alber1> lol
[07:24] <jickles> xivanari, where can I find that?
[07:24] <xivanari> jickles i dont remember.  The gnome art site
[07:24] <jickles> aero-ion?
[07:25] <xivanari> no
[07:25] <xivanari> AEROLON
[07:25] <bazhang> jickles: probably gnome-look.org
[07:25] <alber1> lol !
[07:25] <bulmer> c0Ld-> look into gconf-editor and gconftool-2
[07:25] <jickles> I searched gnome-look.org and art.gnome.org
[07:26] <xivanari> i think art gnome is it
[07:26] <alber1> anyone know how to push a dialog to all the current users logged into xwindows?
[07:26] <newguyss> hi, I have images I want to change their format, can I do that with the gimp or is there any other tool I can use?
[07:26] <bazhang> gnome-art.org?
[07:26] <jickles> xivanari, it's not showing up from a search on either of those sites
[07:26] <Clearze2> alber1: I know the wall command will message all users
[07:27] <alber1> clearze2: yeah but who looks at the console ;)
[07:27] <Clearze2> alber1:me
[07:27] <Haemoth> Clearze2: Should I do chmox +x on the file?
[07:27] <xivanari> grr how do i configure the viewport switching for use with the mouse scroll wheel
[07:27] <Haemoth> Clearze2: For files in resume.d
[07:27] <alber1> clearze2: hehe, well i found zenity for example.. but i have to run that as the user that receives the msg
[07:27] <Clearze2> Haemoth: You should give executable rights to the script you have in there
[07:27] <Clearze2> Haemoth: so yes
[07:27] <lammy> hi all! anybody know about a litte restrained version of kiba-dock? - more like the dock under os/x ...
[07:28] <bazhang> lammy: avant window manager?
[07:28] <Haemoth> Clearze2: Okay, I'm gonna try suspend again.
[07:28] <lammy> bazhang: ah - i will try it ...
[07:29] <Clearze2> alber1: Honestly I haven't had to look for a program to message multiple users on a system
[07:29] <Clearze2> alber1: I do know whowatch will tell you what they are all doing though
[07:30] <jickles> xivanari, if you remember where you got the theme from, or could send it to me, please let me know
[07:30] <xivanari> just search google for it
[07:30] <xivanari> :P
[07:30] <alber1> clearze2: i want to basically modify groups with a web app, then notify a user when their groups have changed and to log back in to gain access to the new areas
[07:31] <tim> !wubi
[07:31] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[07:31] <alber1> clearze2: or maybe there's a way to force a logged in user to re-read their group permissions
[07:32] <sn00zer> my ~ char looks the same as my - to me, is this a font issue?
[07:33] <alber1> for example.. if im logged in, and a seperate root account adds me to a group.. and i wont see the group listed under 'groups' until i log out and back in... must be a way to update that with a command without logging back in
[07:33] <friendlysys> anyone know how to disable safemode from ISPCONFIG????
[07:34] <cee> I just indstalled my grafik card and enabeled it, but for some reason I now can see anything on my screen. It look like something for my old c64. Do any have a good idea how to fix it ? This is like sec time i have the problem, and I hate to reindstall one more time.
[07:34] <desertc> !effects | xivanari
[07:34] <ubotu> xivanari: Desktop Effects are supported on graphics cards that use the default Intel and ATI drivers and the restricted !NVIDIA drivers, except for the following, which are blacklisted due to stability/compatibility issues: Intel 965, ATI Rs480 and Rv350, ATI Mobility x300, x600 and x700 - Join #compiz-fusion for anything not officially supported by Ubuntu
[07:35] <alber1> lol i love the built in thingies
[07:35] <henno> ok, fresh install of gutsy, X crashes on first login
[07:35] <henno> failsafe only works
[07:35] <desertc> cee: What do you mean?  Please rephrase?
[07:35] <Pyrobyte> hello all, i just set up last.fm and when i attempt to pley i get this error once it finished buffering "The ALSA soundsystem is either busy or not present." i have tried changing the device and no other sound systems are available in the options menu.
[07:36] <desertc> Pyrobyte: The device is likely busy playing another sound resource.  Stop that application to get sound.
[07:36] <henno> .xsession-errors ---> http://www.pastebin.ca/790289
[07:36] <henno> any ideas?
[07:36] <desertc> Pyrobyte: You may want to get a software sound mixer working.
[07:36] <henno> intel gfx card
[07:37] <Haemoth> alber1: Seems my script is not running after I resume. But when I type the command in a console after stopping gdm, I get my sound back again.
[07:37] <Pyrobyte> desertc: how would i do that?
[07:37] <b4d> Hi, I have a problem with pcsx emulator, I cannot make my keyboard work, I've tried to set it up to /dev/input/ts0, but with no luck, any ideas, thanks...
[07:37] <kuru_> how do I make an application get the #1 attention by the cpu and for all resources?
[07:37] <alber1> haemoth! lol !
[07:38] <alber1> haemoth: maybe it is running but that's not the true solution to your sound issue?
[07:38] <desertc> henno: Reinstall your gtk ?
[07:38] <alber1> haemoth: and just a co-incidental fix when the situation is right
[07:38] <alber1> haemoth: maybe you should restard the gnome sound engine whatever it's called
[07:38] <henno> desertc: it is not a gtk issue I don't believe
[07:39] <Haemoth> alsa?
[07:39] <henno> desertc: otherwise failsafe would not work
[07:39] <snowdonke1> Hi.  I mounted my windows partition but I don't have write permissions to it.  What do I need to do to copy files to it?
[07:39] <henno> desertc: it is an xgl issue, the server crashes after checking for xgl
[07:39] <Haemoth> alber1: How do I find out if the script ran or not?
[07:39] <Pyrobyte> desertc: i can't find any application running that would be using it, and i have no sound coming from the speakers
[07:39] <desertc> !ntfs
[07:39] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE
[07:40] <b4d> kuru_: man nice
[07:40] <desertc> !ntfs-3g | snowdonke1
[07:40] <ubotu> snowdonke1: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[07:40] <snowdonke1> desertc: I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy, isn't it supposed to be enabled by default?
[07:40] <desertc> Not sure.  Apparently not.
[07:40] <cee> when i indstalled my gxfcard and rebooted I was not abel to login ind or in anyway use my system, it looked wird and had all this lines all over the screen.
[07:41] <kuru_> b4d, it doesn't explain anything to me. I read the manpage.. it makes no sense to me
[07:41] <pbn> Hello, how can I disable that annoying splashscreen at boot time so that I can see the messages ?
[07:41] <cee> it happed after it sayed something about lowgfx mod ... or somthing like it.
[07:41] <cee> It was not really a problem when i indstalled my ati9600xt, but only when I enabled it.
[07:41] <snowdonke1> desertc: Ok, thx.
[07:41] <desertc> pbn: GNOME has a configuration application
[07:41] <alber1> haemoth: i would suggest you let the script do something like add some text to a file to see if it ran... try adding this line to your script "date >> /tmp/test" and see if when you boot back up run "cat /tmp/test" it should add the date and time to that file each time it comes back
[07:41] <TimBaxter> Is this the right place to ask quick new-to-ubuntu questons?
[07:41] <b4d> kuru_: nice -n 1
[07:41] <pbn> desertc: sorry I use KDE :) ... isn't there some file to go modifiy ?
[07:42] <b4d> kuru_: only root can set priorities under 0
[07:42] <Tomcat_> !ask | TimBaxter
[07:42] <ubotu> TimBaxter: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:42] <b4d> kuru_: lower the number higher the priority
[07:42] <Haemoth> alber1: After I add that, do I need to reboot to reflect the changes?
[07:42] <Tomcat_> pbn: Remove "quiet" and "splash" from the boot options in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:42] <kuru_> b4d, so do I run the server using it? I want it for my mysqld
[07:42] <alber1> haemoth: no.. script files just run when they're told to...
[07:43] <desertc> pbn: I think there is a Kubuntu channel for you.
[07:43] <b4d> kuru_: you just put nice -n 1 in front of your command
[07:43] <dosnubbie> Hey I have an off-beat question. How do I upgrade Ubuntu 4.10 via Download?
[07:43] <tim> Cannot join #ubuntu-ru (You are banned).
[07:43] <b4d> kuru_: there are many ways of running mysqld so find out how do you run it :)
[07:43] <tim> ???
[07:43] <xivanari> hey does anyone know what the scroll wheel on a mouse is called?
[07:43] <alber1> scroll wheel...
[07:43] <alber1> lol
[07:43] <alber1> mouse wheel maybe?
[07:43] <xivanari> when using it to switch between viewports
[07:44] <HuibertGill> xivanari: button3
[07:44] <alber1> z button?
[07:44] <xivanari> okay thanks
[07:44] <HuibertGill> xivanari: scroll up/down: button 4/5
[07:44] <TimBaxter> I've recently installed the 32-bit version of Ubuntu on my laptop. I have an AMD64 CPU, is there any real advantage to me installing the 64 bit version of Ubuntu?
[07:44] <cee> normaly it works after u reboot the first time.
[07:44] <desertc> pbn: Oh, sorry, you said at boot.  Whoops.  Good call Tomcat_
[07:44] <Haemoth> alber1: I don't need to add anything in modprobe.d, right?
[07:44] <xivanari> grr still not working
[07:45] <xivanari> though that is what is in there
[07:45] <desertc> TimBaxter: No huge advantages, no huge disadvantages.  Major cool-factor.
[07:45] <wi1> hi, how do i set the screen resolution for the login screen?
[07:46] <knightwise> heya
[07:46] <cydonia2> Have gutsy x64 - gscan2pdf can only scan if started from terminal. otherwise error message says I/O error, cannot start scanner. Can anyone of the gutsy developers help with this?
[07:47] <TimBaxter> desertc: If I'm only really only doing home-use stuff, am I likely to run into any big 32-bit vs. 64-bit compatibility issues?
[07:47] <Tomcat_> TimBaxter: I haven't seen any difference in running the 64bit... you could install more memory, but that's about it... haven't seen any speed or memory efficiency improvements.
[07:47] <knightwise> naah , and the trouble with 64 bit is , half the apps dont work (flash , java etc)
[07:47] <Tomcat_> TimBaxter: Yeah, the 64bit flash plugin is less stable (imho), there's no wine and no Java plugin. :)
[07:47] <desertc> TimBaxter: Just closed-sourced junk programs, like Flash Player
[07:48] <Inverse> you wont see any difference unless youre using 64bit apps
[07:48] <lockd> wine does not work with 64-bit? even if recompiled?
[07:48] <desertc> TimBaxter:  Tomcat_: Java works, as far as I can tell.
[07:48] <lockd> (the code wine needs to run, recompiled)
[07:48] <Tomcat_> lockd: There are some ways I've heard... but nothing as easy as the flashplugin-wrapper ;)
[07:48] <desertc> !64bit
[07:48] <ubotu> AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information.
[07:49] <Tomcat_> desertc: Yes, Java does work, but there's no Sun Java Plugin for Firefox.
[07:49] <HuibertGill> lockd: recompiling for pure 64 is not (allways) as easy as it sounds
[07:49] <lockd> Tomcat_: i'm talking about wine, on 64 bit, not flash
[07:49] <desertc> !nohelp
[07:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nohelp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:49] <cydonia2> Have gutsy x64 - gscan2pdf can only scan if started from terminal. otherwise error message says I/O error, cannot start scanner. Can anyone of the gutsy developers help with this?
[07:49] <Tomcat_> lockd: Yes, I'm just saying wine64 is not as easy to use as flash64 :)
[07:50] <xivanari> could someone go over their ccsm settings with me?
[07:50] <UUUUUUUbuntu> hey
[07:50] <Tomcat_> cydonia2: The devs are too busy to help here, unfortunately.
[07:50] <lockd> Tomcat_: kind of ironic since wine is open source
[07:50] <desertc> cydonia2: May want to post that question to the forums
[07:50] <UUUUUUUbuntu> hello?
[07:50] <Tomcat_> lockd: Well, I guess there's no "market" for wine64.
[07:50] <jickles> hmm is anyone else unable to drag windows between workspaces using the little workspace buttons in the bottom-right?
[07:51] <xivanari> i want it to be able to work so that when my mouse is over my desktop the viewport switches
[07:51] <cydonia2> I desertc: i did long time ago no response
[07:51] <Peddy> cherish your life;  you only have one
[07:51] <TimBaxter> Tomcat_: desertc: Thank you. I might give it a shot. It's a fresh-ish install, so I'm not risking much.
[07:51] <bazhang> jickles: using compiz-fusion?
[07:51] <TimBaxter> ...just a bit of Email
[07:51]  * henno tries a third fresh install
[07:51] <alber1> llol
[07:51] <robc4> desertc, whats up man
[07:51] <Tomcat_> TimBaxter: The geek factor is still pretty high on amd64... that's why I like using it. ;D
[07:51] <desertc> TimBaxter: I have been using it for 4 years, no issues.
[07:51] <ere4si> jickles: right click the window title bar
[07:51] <desertc> robc4: Heya!  :-D
[07:51] <UUUUUUUbuntu> what kind of things do i program in linux using python
[07:52] <alber1> ***henno: keep trying! eventually the freshness will prevail
[07:52] <robc4> what are you doing up so late?
[07:52] <robc4> lol
[07:52] <UUUUUUUbuntu> just a little question
[07:52] <Tomcat_> TimBaxter: My suggestion is: If you can live without wine and java-firefox-plugin, and you have a 64bit CPU, definitely use Ubuntu 64.
[07:52] <jickles> yeah using compiz-fusion, I know I can right click the title bar, but normally you are also able to drag between workspaces
[07:52] <knightwise> @tomcat : If  by geek you mean : half of it works
[07:52] <lockd> you can have 2 different lib directories, i thought?
[07:52] <xivanari> i want it to be able to work so that when my mouse is over my desktop the viewport switches, can anyone go over their own settings with me?
[07:52] <Tomcat_> knightwise: I don't have any major issues. :o
[07:52] <lockd> or is this not supported in ubuntu, for 64-bit machines?
[07:52] <jickles> also, is there a way to send a window a different monitor>?
[07:52] <Inverse> Tomcat why do you recommend 64 bit?
[07:53] <bazhang> xivanari: do you have the plugins installed?
[07:53] <robc4> with automatix for 64 bit gutsy, installation of everything is painless
[07:53] <xivanari> i believe so bazhang
[07:53] <robc4> first time using it, and holy cow
[07:53] <ryan_> does WINE not work with 64bit cpu?
[07:53] <xivanari> how do i see if i do
[07:53] <knightwise> the bottom line : the time you spend on getting the 64 bit stuff working is higher then the time you save by using 64 instead of 32 bits
[07:53] <bjame1> hi all
[07:53] <Tomcat_> Inverse: It's the natural progression of technology... there's *no* visible improvement, it's just for the warm fuzzy feeling. ;)
[07:53] <knightwise> automatix is a desease
[07:53] <Tomcat_> ryan_: Not easily.
[07:53] <bjame1> how can I empty the recycle bin in Ubuntu from the command line?
[07:53] <robc4> how so?
[07:53] <ryan_> knightwise: i use 64 bit chess engines, they calculate at least 70% faster than the 32 bit versions...
[07:54] <ryan_> Tomcat_: does WINE not work with 64bit cpu?
[07:54] <lockd> is it feasible/possible for automatix side by side with official packages?
[07:54] <knightwise> ryan : whow !
[07:54] <bjame1> ryan: no
[07:54] <robc4> ryan_, you can install wine 32 bit
[07:54] <Clearze2> bjame1: rm -r .Trash/*
[07:54] <jickles> also, right click->move to another workspace is a bit broken, sometimes it goes to the wrong one
[07:54] <Clearze2> bjame1: rm -r ~/.Trash/*
[07:54] <ryan_> robc4: I see, my question is whether it is possible to make WINE work at all with 64 bit gusty, not whether WINE can run in 64 bit mode
[07:55] <jimjam> how do I mount an ext3 drive so that anyone can edit the files there. Not being able to use nautilus is annoying
[07:55] <bjame1> Clearze2: cheers
[07:55] <HuibertGill> lockd: it might be, but most of us would advice against automatix
[07:55] <robc4> ryan_ I have it running on my 64 bit gutsy
[07:55] <ryan_> Ok thanks
[07:55] <robc4> ryan_ using stellarium for windows as we speak
[07:55] <HuibertGill> lockd: if, in the future something breaks, or your upgrade does not work,
[07:55] <bezak> hey guys sometimes when epiphany crashes, it wont restart until i restart x, anyone know a better way to restart it
[07:55] <HuibertGill> lockd: we cant help you
[07:56] <bazhang> xivanari: do you have the plugins installed? you can check in synaptic by looking under compiz (search)
[07:56] <b4d> so anybody knows what is the keyboard device in /dev/ ?
[07:56] <lockd> HuibertGill: side by side as in a prefix, like "prefixed portage" for non-Gentoo users
[07:56] <HuibertGill> lockd: I've never heard of something like that in debian/ubuntu, unless referring to chroot enviroments
[07:56] <lockd> HuibertGill: which is better served by a chroot... because they never could get all the packages working prefixed
[07:57] <robc4> huibertgill, the flip side is that when you wreck your install, and want a quick way to get all the programs back, its amazing
[07:57] <JPSman> !sound
[07:57] <HuibertGill> lockd: this would be possible for running an 64/32 mix 'n match os
[07:57] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[07:57] <JPSman> how do I enable ALSA??
[07:57] <xivanari> yes all the plugins are installed
[07:57]  * JPSman is a complete and utter NEWB
[07:58] <robc4> desertc, very nice :)
[07:58] <desertc> JPSman: ALSA is enabled by default.  Your sound may be muted.
[07:58] <bazhang> xivanari: you want to get the 3d cube effect, or the expose effect, or what please specify
[07:58] <newguy> hey there, is there a bash command to delete all the files within a directory but not the directory itself?
[07:58] <bjame1> speaking of 64 bit stuff - does Ubuntu currently support automatic installation of 32 bit versions of software if 64 bit aren't available?
[07:58] <xivanari> the viewport switching
[07:58] <lockd> I'm having trouble getting midi working with Timidity, and everything else works (even timidity, at the command line)
[07:58] <desertc> JPSman: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/156930
[07:58] <xivanari> like ubuntu has when you install it in the first place.
[07:58] <bjame1> as I understand it, it shouldn't be a big deal on AMD processors
[07:58] <Clearze2> newguy: rm *
[07:58] <newguy> kk, ty
[07:58] <desertc> bjame1: All the software that Ubuntu supports is available for 64-bit
[07:59] <bazhang> xivanari: look in the settings manager and check the key bindings
[07:59] <robc4> bjamel, AFAIK, its all 64 bit as well
[07:59] <coyctecm> hmm should i install ubuntu and use it as my main os? i'm software developer and it's a must that the os is stable
[07:59] <bjame1> desertc: firefox + Java + Flash, etc
[07:59] <Inverse> desertc all the software is available in 64 bit versions?
[07:59] <desertc> bjame1: That's community supported
[07:59] <Haemoth> alber1: Well date thing worked.. But I still don't get my audio back after I resume. I need to stop gdm and type the command manually.
[07:59] <bjame1> I believe at least Flash requires a 32 bit library
[07:59] <xivanari> bazhang: how do i do that?
[07:59] <robc4> bjamel, you can install them alongside
[07:59] <xivanari> bazhang: what settings manager?
[07:59] <bjame1> desertc: is it transparent?
[08:00] <bazhang> coyctecm: it's very stable though you may want to go with Kubuntu :}
[08:00] <bazhang> xivanari: advanced desktop effects manager
[08:00] <Haemoth> Is there a log file for the scripts in resume.d?
[08:00] <coyctecm> bazhang: why kubuntu?
[08:00] <lockd> coyctecm: don't always believe Debian is more stable - it's also more of a pain due to horribly outdated packages
[08:00] <coyctecm> i don't need kdevelop, i love emacs :P
[08:00] <xivanari> bazhang: ok im in that, then where do i find the key bindings?
[08:00] <bazhang> coyctecm: just kidding--they are both rock solid
[08:01] <JPSman> desertc - what does "You should be at a text-GUI (aka: curses) for alsamixer." mean?
[08:01] <johndoe09> i got this problem my firefox most of the times hang when i tried to view a website with online movies like youtube or metacafe or friendster
[08:01] <johndoe09> any solution to this im using gutsy
[08:01] <coyctecm> it's pretty pain to be windows developer. i really want to stop coding windows stuff
[08:01] <jimjam>  Anyone know how I mount an ext3 drive so that anyone can edit the files there? Not being able to use nautilus is annoying
[08:01] <lockd> coyctecm: well, you do have to learn another API. what language do you use?
[08:02] <bazhang> xivanari: look in viewport switcher and check tab for key bindings
[08:02] <bjame1> coyctecm: wxWidgets is the way to go
[08:02] <bjame1> nice and cross-platform
[08:02] <coyctecm> lockd: c and c++. i also code some c#
[08:02] <Haemoth> I still don't get my audio back after I resume. I need to stop gdm and type the command manually to get it back. How do I know if the commands in the script had any errors? Is there a log file?
[08:02] <Shadix> arrgh
[08:02] <Clearze2> jimjam: sudo chmod  -R 0777 /mount/point/ but it's not secure of course
[08:02] <newguy> xivanari sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[08:02] <coyctecm> lockd: but i prefer c++
[08:03] <lockd> you can use C# but if it's not your most familiar there really is no point
[08:03] <jimjam> Clearze2: thanks
[08:03] <xivanari> bazhang: i only see two tabs, desktop based viewport switching and actions
[08:03] <desertc> JPSman: Not sure what you mean
[08:03] <mosibfu> is there some gnome expert here? seems like after last gnome update, gnome uses an overlay in fullscreen games, slowing FPS down, and i need to fix it.. (GDM update)
[08:03] <xivanari> newguy i have already installed that and am working in it
[08:03] <Shadix> where can I find 'themes' for Ubuntu or is there just KDE
[08:03] <newguy> ah kk
[08:03] <JPSman> desertc - is the first line of the second paragraph of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/156930
[08:03] <xivanari> newguy just trying to figure out how to get it working within that
[08:03] <Clearze2> jimjam: Or better sudo chown -R user:user  /mount/point; sudo chmod -R 0755 /mount/point
[08:03] <xivanari> im a total ubuntu noob
[08:03] <schnoodles> is there a hotkey to start up the terminal ?
[08:03] <LinuxHelp> Is JFS like Ext3 in that it only commits a "rename" to disk after it has flushed the file contents of the file in question?
[08:03] <lockd> Shadix: kde-look.org gnome-look.org
[08:03] <JPSman> er 3rd paragraph
[08:03] <ere4si> !gnome-look
[08:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-look - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:03] <coyctecm> lockd: yeah i don't like c#. i think c would be th way to go. i'm also familiar with python
[08:03] <desertc> JPSman: Yes, I know, I wrote that.  I don't know what you mean by you don't know what it means.
[08:04] <mosibfu> ere
[08:04] <newguy> xivanari what would you like to get working?
[08:04]  * JPSman is a complete and utter newb
[08:04] <Haemoth> I still don't get my audio back after I resume. I need to stop gdm and type the command manually to get it back. How do I know if the commands in the script had any errors? Is there a log file?
[08:04] <mosibfu> ere4si: was that ment for me?
[08:04] <ere4si> !terminal
[08:04] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[08:04] <jimjam> Clearze2: It's a single-user system, that's not a problem. Thanks for your detailed help!
[08:04] <xivanari> the viewport switching
[08:04] <desertc> JPSman: That sentence is just a description, and you can skip it...
[08:04] <lockd> coyctecm: I personally wouldn't use C after seeing someone deal with converting to C++
[08:04] <xivanari> based on the desktop action of using the mouse scrollwheel
[08:04] <xivanari> like ubuntu first came installed with (gutsy gibbon)
[08:04] <ere4si> mosibfu: was seeing if the bot knew about gnome-look  - a good place for themes
[08:04] <bazhang> xivanari: you need to setup the key bindings or the desktop corner to initiate it
[08:05] <newguy> xivanari to switch workspaces by scrolling the mouse wheel?
[08:05] <xivanari> yes exactly
[08:05] <mosibfu> ere4si: ahh, ok, just wondering because i asked a gnome question :P
[08:05] <Clearze2> C is a unforgiving bitch
[08:05] <mosibfu> !omg Clearze2
[08:05] <Clearze2> But fast
[08:05] <newguy> ah kk
[08:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about omg clearze2 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:05] <Clearze2> cmon it's 1am here. there isn't kids on the channel.
[08:05] <newguy> xivanari i find it works when theres no windows on the desktop, but once i have a window open, the mouse wheel doesnt switch workspace
[08:05] <JPSman> desertc - but I am not at a text GUI for alsamixer - I dont have the option of scrolling through channels and setting them to 100%
[08:06] <mosibfu> Clearze, its 9:06 here..
[08:06] <irwan> haloo
[08:06] <irwan> i'm from indonesian
[08:06] <xivanari> newguy well before i somehow messed this up it was working.
[08:06] <mosibfu> !GDM
[08:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:06] <Clearze2> mosibfu: Point taken
[08:06] <desertc> JPSman: why?
[08:06] <xivanari> newguy and i could havbe windows open
[08:06] <Haemoth> It's 1:36PM here
[08:06] <xivanari> i think the issue is my computer isnt recognizing my mousewheel
[08:06] <desertc> JPSman: Are you at a terminal?
[08:06] <mosibfu> 9:06 AM here.. still havent slept tho
[08:06] <timob> how do i get rid of that message after a bash command , suggests a certain package to install?
[08:07] <xivanari> but... it is for scrolling in this channel
[08:07] <xivanari> O.o
[08:07] <Haemoth> mosibfu: Me neither ;]
[08:07] <lockd> it's 2:06am here.. what is up with the non-hourly time zones
[08:07] <newguy> xivanari in the compizconfig settings manager, what tab are you looking in?
[08:07] <JPSman> desertc - because I got  ' wrong -c argument '0'  '  for my response
[08:07] <xivanari> actions
[08:07] <jimjam> Clearze2: Hmm... I still can't create a file within that mount point. Any other ideas?
[08:07] <xivanari> i only see the actions and desktop-based viewport switching tabs
[08:07] <newguy> xivanari ah no its ok, i see it
[08:07] <JPSman> desertc - for   '  alsamixer -c 0  '
[08:07] <Haemoth> I still don't get my audio back after I resume. I need to stop gdm and type the command manually to get it back. How do I know if the commands in the script had any errors? Is there a log file?
[08:07] <desertc> JPSman: what happens when you type "aplay -l " ?
[08:07] <mosibfu> Haemoth: it is 9 in morning here mate, but i think ill skip one night and go sleep early today, in about 15 hours or so
[08:08] <Clearze2> jimjam: is it a vfat file system?
[08:08] <xivanari> under the first tab the options are rotate and initiate
[08:08] <troxor> would anyone happen to know what ubuntu uses to auto-mount removable storage, cds, etc ?
[08:08] <jimjam> Clearze2: nope, ext3
[08:08] <desertc> Haemoth: What script do you mean?
[08:08] <xivanari> newguy under the first tab the options are rotate and initiate
[08:08] <Haemoth> mosibfu: Sounds like my routine. I barely sleep.
[08:08] <JPSman> desertc -  '     aplay: device_list:204: no soundcards found...    '
[08:08] <desertc> troxor: uses?
[08:08] <bazhang> xivanari: you need to set them in the actions section
[08:08] <Clearze2> jimjam: so you ran sudo chown -R 0777 /media/whatever/     and you can't write to it?
[08:09] <lucas> hey. I just added my first virtual host to apache2, and am trying to figure out why apache2 doesn't start anymore. error_log says "unable to open logs".  the virual host is in /home/myuser/public_html/   for testing, I've chmod 777'd that whole folder, to no avail.  Anybody got an idea what I'm missing?
[08:09] <desertc> JPSman: Okay, so no sound devices were detected on your system.
[08:09] <mosibfu> Haemoth: there has been some GDM update, since then framerate in games went bad, i reinstalled everything twice, double checked and checked and checked, very bad :(
[08:09] <xivanari> under the actions section the proper buttons are listed under the proper functions
[08:09] <troxor> desertc: as in, autofs, submount, mntd, ivman, etc
[08:09] <desertc> !apache
[08:09] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[08:09] <Haemoth> desertc: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=6970
[08:09] <JPSman> desertc - ok, how do I MAKE IT detect :OD
[08:09] <newguy> xivanari hmm, i wonder what the name is for the mouse wheel though, otherwise id put that into the "move next" selection under "Desktop-based Viewport Switching" in the actions tab
[08:10] <mosibfu> !gnome
[08:10] <xivanari> its button 4/5
[08:10] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[08:10] <xivanari> and its in there
[08:10] <desertc> JPSman: Beyond my knowledge.  Did it work with the LiveCD ?
[08:10] <snowdonke1> I used netfs-config to enable writing to internal and external partitions, but I'm still not able to write to my windows partition, even though the permissions are 777.
[08:10] <Haemoth> mosibfu: I still haven't managed to even get my system working properly. My issues are endless
[08:10] <jimjam> Clearze2: Nope. Can't create a file, can't copy-paste
[08:10] <jimjam> Clearze2: Unless I sudo
[08:10] <newguy> xivanari ya, mines got "button 5"
[08:10] <HuibertGill> lucas: check your apache config, and look where the logfiles are supposed to go
[08:10] <jimjam> Clearze2: through the terminal...
[08:10] <JPSman> desertc - no :O(
[08:10] <mosibfu> Haemoth: im a nvidia + xorg.conf junkie, with that stuff i can help you out
[08:10] <snowdonke1> The owner is listed as root.  I can't change change the owner even with chown command.
[08:11] <HuibertGill> lucas: there is a general logfile, and you can configure logfiles per Vhost
[08:11] <xivanari> newguy well i somehow habve that there but it isnt working!
[08:11] <desertc> JPSman: Do you have a sound card?
[08:11] <JPSman> desertc - yes
[08:11] <desertc> JPSman: And what is it?
[08:11] <HuibertGill> lucas: all of the directories should be writable to the user running the process (normaly www-data), you are not running apache as 'you' are you?
[08:11] <TimBaxter> Another quick question, is there an mp3 player for ubuntu with similar browse functionality to itunes on Windows?
[08:11] <Clearze2> jimjam: well, you could always edit the gid and uid values in fstab. But you shouldn't have to. Are the files owned by root?
[08:11] <Haemoth> mosibfu: Luckily my display's fine :)
[08:11] <JPSman> desertc - Creative Soundblaster XFi
[08:12] <Haemoth> Video Card: GeForce 8600M GT/PCI/SSE2
[08:12] <TimBaxter> Amarok isn't doing it for me.
[08:12] <Haemoth> Screen Resolution: 1920x1200 (32 bits)
[08:12] <robc4> rhythmbox
[08:12] <JPSman> !sound
[08:12] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[08:12] <HuibertGill> TimBaxter: check amarok, it's better then itunes
[08:12] <mosibfu> TimBaxter: try banshee and amarok
[08:12] <jimjam> Clearze2: They're mounted in fstab, using the mount -a option, if that's what you mean
[08:12] <desertc> JPSman: I can tell you right now that's not a very compatible card for Linux.
[08:12] <Shadix> errrrm how do you install a theme??
[08:12] <mosibfu> Haemoth: i have 2x 8500GT with overclocks working :)
[08:12] <HuibertGill> TimBaxter: sorry
[08:12] <mosibfu> Haemoth: did 400 fps in games, but all is wrong *cries*
[08:12] <troxor> Shadix: drag and drop on the theme manager
[08:12] <bjame1> anyone have any idea why pidgin would still work if my router refuses to respond to pings and my internet conenction (web pages) is down?
[08:12] <Haemoth> mosibfu: :o
[08:13] <TimBaxter> HuibertGill: It's okay, I may not have explored it properly, it's just proving irritating to keep creating and deleting playlists.
[08:13] <JPSman> joy of joys
[08:13] <desertc> JPSman: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Creative_Labs
[08:13] <troxor> bjame1: it hasn't timed out yet?
[08:13] <xivanari> newguy tried to get the widget layer setup as well but it isnt working either
[08:13] <jimjam> Clearze2: a -v call on the chmod says "ownership of `/media/disk' retained as 0777", as well as the rest of the files
[08:13] <mosibfu> Haemoth: since 2 days, whatever i do, even total reinstall of ubuntu.. not more then 60 fps standard now :(
[08:13] <troxor> bjame1: firewall type stuff blocking all but the oscar ports?
[08:13] <Tyroazard> Uh..
[08:13] <bjame1> troxor: it was working fine a few seconds ago
[08:13] <xivanari> newguy it appears as though all of the changes i make in ccsm dont actually get applied.
[08:13] <Clearze2> jimjam: try sudo chown -R  <username>:<username> /media/whatever
[08:13] <Haemoth> mosibfu: I never get more than 30 to 35 :p
[08:13] <Tyroazard> Why is it whenever I try to shutdown the computer it spits out a load of messages regarding port 5?
[08:13] <Tyroazard> ..
[08:13] <desertc> JPSman: The good news is that you can stop troubleshooting it now...
[08:14] <bjame1> troxor: destination host unreachable
[08:14] <newguy> xivanari ya i found it a bit tricky, sometimes theres settings in other areas that need to be tweaked to take effect
[08:14] <troxor> bjame1: it could be any number of things
[08:14] <JPSman> desertc - I believe I downloaded the driver at http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html
[08:14] <troxor> bjame1: what changed between then and now?
[08:15] <Clearze2> http://www.bash.org/?565864
[08:15] <jimjam> Clearze2: I can create and edit files with gedit calls in the terminal, but through nautilus, it still isn't working
[08:15] <Haemoth> I still don't get my audio back after I resume. I need to stop gdm and type the command manually to get it back. How do I know if the commands in the script had any errors? Is there a log file?
[08:15] <desertc> JPSman: Good luck.  It is going to be a challenge with you new to Linux and all.
[08:15] <Clearze2> jimjam: I don't know why. Try restarting x. crtl+alt+backspace
[08:16] <jimjam> Clearze2: log out first?
[08:16] <mosibfu> Haemoth: i play counter-strike 1.6 so its erm.. not a very hard game to get high frames per second
[08:16] <Clearze2> no, it won't matter
[08:16] <xivanari> newguy ok now it is working partially, it has the little icon on the bottom righthand corner of the panel
[08:16] <Haemoth> mosibfu: Haven't tried 1.6 on this laptop. I just bought it hardly a month ago.
[08:16] <Shadix> troxor, says install correctly but I don't see it in the options
[08:16] <Shadix> reboot?
[08:16] <Haemoth> mosibfu: But I get like 30fps on CS Source
[08:17] <troxor> Shadix: nah, it probably isn't a complete theme
[08:17] <JPSman> How do I install a linux driver?
[08:17] <JPSman> anyone?
[08:17] <Haemoth> mosibfu: at 1600 x 1200 res
[08:17] <mosibfu> Haemoth: 1280x1024 ;)
[08:17] <troxor> JPSman: you don't, if you mean install a driver the windows way
[08:17] <LazyPower> Anyone up for helping me troubleshoot alsa? I've got a full report up on pastebin. Its odd, I had sound working fine this morning.
[08:17] <JPSman> troxor - no, I mean the linux way
[08:17] <HuibertGill> JPSman: normaly, you don't :-), sorry, be more spezific
[08:17] <mosibfu> Haemoth: i could go lower.. but.. i have been playing that since my mx400 card.. so i think something bad is happened, instead of my settings
[08:17] <troxor> JPSman: hardware support is part of the kernel you're running- all known drivers are built and 'installed' by default..
[08:17] <jimjam> Clearze2: that did it
[08:17] <JPSman> troxor - do drivers just get put into directories?
[08:17] <jimjam> Clearze2: THANK YOU
[08:18] <jimjam> Clearze2: Most patient
[08:18] <desertc> LazyPower: Is it muted?
[08:18] <LazyPower> desertc, nope
[08:18] <Clearze2> Clearze2: np
[08:18] <troxor> JPSman: the trick is having hardware that is recognized and supported by a driver that already exists :)
[08:18] <Clearze2> jimjam: np
[08:18] <jimjam> Clearze2: So will I have to do that every time?
[08:18] <desertc> LazyPower: Why does everyone immediately say nope.  ...Sure wish people would pretend to check.
[08:18] <jimjam> Clearze2: it's an external HDD
[08:18] <LazyPower> desertc, thats the first thing i checked :P
[08:19] <Shadix> troxor, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Divinorum?content=65533 SHould be complete one of the most popular too
[08:19] <troxor> Shadix: you can open the theme in file-roller (archive manager) to see exactly what's in it
[08:19] <Haemoth> mosibfu: I'll check it out tonight, and see how many fps I get. Come to think of it, I never tried any games in Ubuntu on this laptop.
[08:19] <Clearze2> jimjam: No, you can set permissions in the /etc/fstab file. I will automatically assign the permissions you specify in that file on mount/startup
[08:19] <desertc> When you eventually figure out it is muted, do I get some candy?
[08:19] <JPSman> troxor - translation-buy a new soundcard ?
[08:19] <troxor> Shadix: did you install the pixbuf engine?
[08:19] <Shadix> sigh maybe not
[08:20] <troxor> JPSman: which soundcard do you have? ideally, what's reported by lspci
[08:20] <desertc> LazyPower: Throw your pastebin link up here so we can take a look at it.
[08:20] <LazyPower> http://pastebin.ca/790310
[08:20] <jimjam> Clearze2: Right now I have "/dev/sdc1	/media/disk	rw,user,exec		0	0" in my fstab
[08:20] <desertc> troxor: He's got an unsupported card
[08:20] <mosibfu> Haemoth: the funny thing is, glxgears has exactly same frames per second, just my only game i play, counter-strike.. grrr
[08:20] <troxor> desertc: ouch :(
[08:20] <JPSman> troxor - Creative Labs SB X-Fi
[08:20] <troxor> JPSman: bigger ouch :(
[08:21] <Clearze2> jimjam: rw,user,exec,gid=1000,uid=1000
[08:21] <JPSman> troxor - so translation-buy a new soundcard ?  :O(
[08:21] <Haemoth> mosibfu: I'm getting 5200+ fps on glxgears
[08:21] <jimjam> Clearze2: Alright. Now, just so I know, what did that do?
[08:21] <JPSman> would I have to code and run my own kernel?
[08:21] <Drule> Hey.
[08:21] <troxor> JPSman: that's the easy way out; doing a quick google suggests there's a creative driver, but I'm not too sure that's going to be any good
[08:22] <mosibfu> Haemoth: im getting 7000ish on glxgears, as usual, just my fullscreen games dont give proper fps anymore
[08:22] <troxor> JPSman: not necessarily... you can build kernel modules (hardware 'drivers') without recompiling the whole thing, but it's not a task for the unseasoned veteran :)
[08:22] <Clearze2> jimjam: Let me give you a link. Hang on.
[08:22] <JPSman> troxor - well I got one from http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html
[08:22] <brandon_> for some reason steam still doesn't work
[08:22] <Shadix> troxor, where can I get the pix buf
[08:23] <brandon_> I dont know whats wrong wth it I need to install wine gecko
[08:23] <JPSman> troxor - I just dont know how to "install it"
[08:23] <Haemoth> I still don't get my audio back after I resume. I need to stop gdm and type the command manually to get it back. How do I know if the commands in the script had any errors? Is there a log file?
[08:23] <LazyPower> afk for a sec i need to get my wall charger.
[08:23] <HuibertGill> JPSman: [brb looking into it]
[08:24] <xivanari> anyone here that could help me figure out this ccsm stuff?
[08:24] <desertc> LazyPower: How are you testing your sound output?
[08:24] <JPSman> HuibertGill - you are a god among men
[08:24] <troxor> Shadix: on that page you linked me to, it has an apt-get command for ubuntu users ;)
[08:24] <brandon_> can anyone help me with my steam problems?
[08:24] <troxor> Shadix: or, you can find it in synaptic
[08:24] <boontoo> Hello i have a directory of 45 archive 7z files, and i would like to extract them all at once, what is the command line for this
[08:24] <bazhang> xivanari: you could try in #compiz-fusion
[08:24] <LazyPower> desertc, speakertest -c 2 in console
[08:24] <xivanari> thanks bazhang
[08:25] <pipegeek> howdy
[08:25] <pipegeek> out of curiousity
[08:25] <HuibertGill> JPSman: you don't know that (yet) :-)
[08:25] <TimBaxter> ALL: Thanks for the help!
[08:25] <Clearze2> jimjam: Well I can't find one right now. Basically it sets your group and user id. 000 would make it world read/write to everyone. 1000 is your default user/sudoer 022 is root.
[08:25] <Shadix> thx troxor I just need to remember to READ lol
[08:25] <desertc> LazyPower: Tried plugging your speakers into a different source?
[08:25] <troxor> JPSman: hmm.. one sec
[08:25] <gcj> hi all, i have a thinkpad running ubuntu feisty, when I use the ubuntu kernel everything works, but when I use a custom 2.6.23 kernel, HAL doesn't detect my batteries (even though they appear in /proc/acpi) and gnome-power-manager doesn't show remaining battery life, any ideas?
[08:25] <troxor> Shadix: no prob, have fun :)
[08:25] <brandon_> how do I install wine gecko?
[08:25] <LazyPower> desertc, its a laptop? integrated speakers...
[08:25] <Clearze2> jimjam: that will work in darwin too :)
[08:26] <jimjam> Clearze2: that explains enough for me. thanks!
[08:26] <pipegeek> in gutsy, when I plug in my digital camera, it asks if I want to import photos into gthumb, automatically.  I'd like not to be asked this every time.... but I'd also like to be able to change this preference.  If I say "do this from now on", how would I go about changing my mind, later?  I can't find any way of changing the default behavior from within gthumb
[08:26] <LazyPower> speakers work in vista, worked fine before i went to work as well. All I did was reboot and whammo, no sound anymore.
[08:26] <HuibertGill> JPSman: hmm, there is an installer script, should be n o problem, how far did you get?
[08:26] <JPSman> HuibertGill - shit I dont have a 64 bit system
[08:26] <LazyPower> Intermittant working sound = the pits
[08:26] <HuibertGill> Looks like you need alsa-dev and build-essentials installed
[08:26] <desertc> LazyPower: why -c 2 ?
[08:26] <troxor> boontoo: for i in `ls *.7z`; do p7zip <some options> $i; done ?
[08:27] <LazyPower> desertc, thats a 2 channel test. Front left and front right
[08:27] <HuibertGill> [brb]
[08:27] <JPSman> HuibertGill - alsa-dev?  build-essentials?
[08:27] <brandon_> can anyone help me out?
[08:27] <Shadix> troxor, hrmm was up to date... still no good
[08:28] <SiegeX> troxor: using 'ls' in a for statement is a bad idea
[08:28] <desertc> JPSman: You're headed down a long road....
[08:28] <troxor> JPSman: did you check the gentoo forum thread here? --> http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-587921-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-0.html
[08:28] <HuibertGill> JPSman: uhoh, can you read german? (http://www.tecchannel.de/pc_mobile/news/1734549/)
[08:28] <LazyPower> eh building alsa from source wasnt all bad.
[08:28] <askvictor> Can I run two xservers with different automatic logins on each?
[08:29] <brandon_> can anyone help me?
[08:29] <gordonjcp> !ask | brandon_
[08:29] <ubotu> brandon_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:29] <troxor> SiegeX: ls --color=never -1 , then?
[08:29] <gordonjcp> askvictor: possibly
[08:29] <desertc> LazyPower: Did you do it during your first time using Linux?
[08:29] <brandon_> lol well Ive been asking and no answers lol sorry
[08:29] <SiegeX> troxor: http://wooledge.org:8000/BashPitfalls  look at #1
[08:29] <gordonjcp> askvictor: I think you'd need two different displays
[08:29] <HuibertGill> The driver creative provided is x86_64 only, but not for gcc >4
[08:29] <Clearze2> askvictor: I know you can start a seperate x server with startx -- :1
[08:29] <LazyPower> desertc, i didnt get sound working until yesterday?
[08:29] <HuibertGill> Sounds not to good, sorry
[08:29] <askvictor> I can start two seperate xservers using the login window prefs
[08:29] <troxor> SiegeX: psh, who uses spaces in filenames ;)
[08:29] <SiegeX> brandon_: we all left our crystal balls at work
[08:30] <Clearze2> askvictor: then ctrl+alt f8 to switch to it. if that is what you mean.
[08:30] <askvictor> which will give me two gdm logins on different virtual terminals
[08:30] <Teknomancer> gonna install ubuntu, bbl .. i hope ;)
[08:30] <brandon_> alrght?
[08:30] <Clearze2> askvictor: yeah

[08:30] <Clearze2> askvictor: f7 is the first x server and f8 is the second
[08:30] <BubblegumTate> I just installed 7.10 on a machine with a widescreen lcd screen and a geforce, If i start up normally I get a blank screen but If I start up in failsafe and type gdm, everything works, what's the difference?
[08:30] <askvictor> the login prefs only talk about one auto login
[08:31] <BubblegumTate> please help it's making me insane
[08:31] <gordonjcp> brandon_: are you actually going to ask your question?
[08:31] <Clearze2> askvictor: I don't know how exactly you would setup the autologin. It's to late here for me to do that right now.
[08:31] <windego40> anyone know how to get ipod touch to work on gutsy?
[08:31] <Shadix> bubblegumtate, is it a blankscreen or does your monitor go to sleep
[08:31] <gordonjcp> BubblegumTate: check you're using the right screen driver?
[08:31] <desertc> !ipod
[08:31] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod

[08:31] <brandon_> well I finally got steam installed on my ubuntu but now for some reason when I go to go into steam it says I need wine gecko but wont let me push on the install button. So I just figure maybe I will in just a sec then an error comes up saying
[08:31] <brandon_> "Steam.exe (main execption): Win32 Structuredexception at 7A7251D : Attempt to read from virtual address 68 without appropriate access rights."
[08:31] <brandon_> so how do I get gecko and more importantly how do get the error to stop?
[08:32] <gordonjcp> BubblegumTate: check that you've got sensible resolutions set and your monitor isn't dropping into standby
[08:32] <gordonjcp> brandon_: steam is a windows thing
[08:32] <brandon_> a ya
[08:32] <brandon_> alright I have wine
[08:32] <JPSman> HuibertGill - no but babel fish can ! :OD
[08:32] <gordonjcp> I can tell by the .exe
[08:32] <windego40> desetc: it cant find the ipod
[08:32] <timob> i dont understand ppl who try to run windows games under linux.... why?
[08:32] <desertc> brandon_: Steam software does not support Ubuntu operating systems.  You may check with the #winehq channel.
[08:32] <Shadix> I am having issues installing a theme, any help?
[08:33] <SiegeX> troxor: kidding right?
[08:33] <LazyPower> desertc, will reboot and find out
[08:33] <LazyPower> desertc, thnx for the leg work m8
[08:33] <desertc> LazyPower: Good luck.
[08:33] <brandon_> hm well how come people have got it working?
[08:33] <pipegeek> Does anyone know if it's possible to change what happens when a camera is detected?
[08:33] <askvictor> brandon_: I think winex is better for gaming
[08:33] <gordonjcp> tv_: what happens when you get that error?
[08:33] <askvictor> pipegeek: system->prefs->removable devices and media
[08:33] <HuibertGill> timob: to play games, perhaps?
[08:33] <tv_> gordonjcp: nothing.. when trying to start it from terminal that's what shows up then ... nothing..
[08:34] <pipegeek> askvictor: many thanks.
[08:34] <sprungle> i have a debian question, well most unix platforms are the same but anyways, could anyone here tell me why i wouldnt be able to view swf files, it seems i have flash enabled in my mozilla plugins, but still no go
[08:34] <gordonjcp> tv_: it sounds like it's having trouble switching modes
[08:34] <troxor> SiegeX: sorta; it's a mediocre workaround when converting cover.png to cover.bmp for rockbox
[08:34] <Clearze2>  brandon_: maybe cedega will run it
[08:34] <tom____> anyone know why my downloads are sometimes capping out at 100 k/sec on a 1mbit connection?
[08:34] <desertc> Lots of games available for Ubuntu.  Lots of commercially supported ones, too.
[08:34] <Shadix> timob, I know what you mean http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45194/
[08:34] <gordonjcp> tv_: maybe you could passing -geometry <something> to bzflag?
[08:34] <judah> hey I thought I'd ask the question here.. is there a stability issue with Firefox 2.0 in ubuntu?  like it freezing up/crashing a lot?
[08:35] <brandon_> hm well have any of you actaully tried?
[08:35] <gordonjcp> tv_: silly obvious question, but you *have* got hardware 3d working, yeah?
[08:35] <tv_> gordonjcp: I've got an ati readon 96xx card with the ati driver..  Haven't looked at -geometry.. do you know how to use it?
[08:35] <barosl> have you ever tried Ubuntu network installation?
[08:35] <troxor> Shadix: try just extracting the theme to your home directory, then move it to .themes/
[08:35] <timob> HuibertGill: true , but its impossible to get the performance / stability of windows in linux
[08:35] <tv_> gordonjcp: glxgears runs
[08:35] <pipegeek> Sweet!
[08:35] <barosl> is it possible installing without Alternative CD?
[08:35] <timob> shadix: :)
[08:35] <desertc> judah: check the bug database
[08:35] <gordonjcp> tv_: haven't used it for a long time, but something like -geometry 800x600
[08:36] <HuibertGill> timob: you forgot the ironic tag
[08:36] <judah> where is that located desertc ?
[08:36] <SiegeX> troxor: all that can be done with native bash syntax:  for file in *.png; do mv "$file" "${file%.*}.bmp; done
[08:36] <pipegeek> askvictor: I set the "import" command to mount /media/Camera , using the gphotofs fuse module
[08:36] <tv_> gordonjcp: I'll give it a go and see.  BRB
[08:36] <Evanlec> gordonjcp, in my experience -geometry flag seems to work for very few apps, like gnome-terminal
[08:36] <gordonjcp> brandon_: sorry, I can't really help you with steam, it's a Windows thing
[08:36] <gordonjcp> brandon_: that's about as much as I know about it - in theory wine should work
[08:37] <brandon_> ya alright well I have a guy thats been helping me but for some reason I haven't been able to talk to him
[08:37] <gordonjcp> brandon_: hm
[08:37] <BubblegumTate> I'm checking
[08:37] <desertc> brandon_: try some games that support linux, instead
[08:37] <timob> HuibertGill:  yeah i should of qualified even if it was in context
[08:37] <gordonjcp> brandon_: I know that *years* ago I had original Half-Life working under Wine
[08:37] <knightwise> exit
[08:37] <tv_> gordonjcp: nope that didn't do anything.. same issue, opens and closes a quick window that if you blink you'd miss.
[08:37] <gordonjcp> brandon_: I've not got much experience with Windows
[08:37] <timob> oh well i said it....
[08:38] <brandon_> ya Im going to Im goin to get quake arena
[08:38] <V1k1ng> i dual boot to play pc games
[08:38] <judah> I didn't have any problems with Firefox 1.5.x  , but ever since upgrading 2.0 it's been pretty unstable.  maybe flash or java problems?!
[08:38] <desertc> brandon_: try Quake Wars: EY
[08:38] <brandon_> or whatever it is
[08:38] <brandon_> lol
[08:38] <BubblegumTate> gordon I know it can achieve the resolutions because I get them quite happily once I've booted into failsafe
[08:38] <brandon_> my fault
[08:38] <desertc> brandon_: *try Quake Wars: ET
[08:38] <judah> desertc where is the bug database at?
[08:38] <gordonjcp> tv_: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-12646.html <- dunno if that helps
[08:39] <Thecks> I'm finding Gnome quite unstable :(
[08:39] <tv_> gordonjcp: thanks I'll check it out.
[08:39] <desertc> Thecks: what's your question?
[08:39] <Thecks> Well, I don't know if it's Gnome, but things like Compiz crash out
[08:39] <brandon_> you guys ever try rocket arena?
[08:39] <gordonjcp> brandon_: RTCW:ET is very good on "moderate" hardware, ET:QW needs a fairly chunky machine
[08:39] <brandon_> ic
[08:39] <gordonjcp> but - ET:QW is almost excessively shiny
[08:39] <timob> rocket_arena for quake 3 rocked
[08:39] <troxor> Shadix: it looks like it doesn't show up in the main theme chooser, but if you go to customize, then the controls tab- it will be there
[08:39] <V1k1ng> is ET that wwII game?
[08:39] <Thecks> No question, just a statement :(
[08:39] <gordonjcp> V1k1ng: RTCW:ET is
[08:39] <brandon_> timob: ya it did

[08:40] <timob> brandon_: not sure .... ive never played quake 4
[08:40] <gordonjcp> brandon_: one what?
[08:40] <V1k1ng> gordonjcp, oh, that game was terrible  :(
[08:40] <brandon_> what
[08:40] <judah> ok, i get the point desertc, i was just inquring here to see if any other ubuntu USERS were having the same problem..
[08:41] <BubblegumTate> or alternately why can't I edit my configurations (network/users etc.)  while I'm in failsafe mode
[08:41] <gordonjcp> brandon_: is there one what for quake 4?
[08:41] <Shadix> intresting
[08:41] <Shadix> troxor, Thank mate
[08:41] <gordonjcp> V1k1ng: mh, the original Quake was the best, anyway

[08:41] <brandon_> o lol sorry rocket arena for quake 4 it if you don't know it was originally a mod of quake 3 and I was wondering if they had done the same for quake 4
[08:41] <V1k1ng> i was never a quake guy, always half life
[08:42] <brandon_> ya I played both
[08:42] <Clearze2> BubblegumTate: Well assuming your running as root, it would mean the filesystem is being mounted read-only
[08:42] <desertc> steve_j: I bet there is a technical consultant you can hire to do that work for you.

[08:43] <HuibertGill> Ohh, he's gone?
[08:43] <gordonjcp> tv_: there seems to be a bug filed for it, so it's not just you

[08:44] <xivanari> Clearze2:  i am willing to that if someone can help me with it step by step :D
[08:44] <brandon_> yteamfortess classic was awsome and teamfortress 2 is better in my opinion
[08:44] <BubblegumTate> clear: it isn't, I know because I saved an image to the disk
[08:44] <desertc> gordonjcp: Excellent points.
[08:44] <askvictor> Where can I see where gdm/X sessions are defined and what processes start in different types of session?
[08:44] <BubblegumTate> and it's the current desktop
[08:45] <brandon_> gordonjcp: what do u mean?
[08:45] <V1k1ng> gordonjcp, yeah, i wouldn't buy windows except that it came with my latptop
[08:45] <Clearze2> xivanari: lol, good luck. I think you'll have to do some googling to get that working the way you want.
[08:45] <gordonjcp> brandon_: what do I mean about what?
[08:45] <brandon_> Im new to linux I thought that wine was the only way
[08:45] <brandon_> about ports

[08:46] <gordonjcp> brandon_: the original Quake was built for Unix machines and then ported to DOS
[08:46] <Evanlec> anyone know a quick n dirty app to volume-normalize mp3's?
[08:46] <V1k1ng> desertc, yeah, I just downloaded a couple, that spider one sucked though
[08:46] <desertc> V1k1ng: Try buying one....
[08:46] <gordonjcp> Evanlec: uncompress, normalise, recompress, live with the drop in sound quality
[08:47] <Symmetria> anyone happen to know if there is some kinda graphical frontend for mysql to do inserts etc in the ubuntu tree to save me doing this crap manually?
[08:47] <brandon_> gordonjcp: ic so you can port windows game to linux? how? do u know or is there a way I can find out?
[08:47]  * Symmetria is sick of writing insert statements while testing :p
[08:47] <Evanlec> gordonjcp, what do u mean drop in sound quality?
[08:47] <V1k1ng> desertc, i already own hl2 and as many mods as I could want to play
[08:47] <Hyber[at]Work> anyone know a good VoIP/SIP program for ubuntu? perferrable with multiple lines and quick dials....
[08:47] <desertc> brandon_: Purchase some games that are designed to run on Linux.
[08:47] <Evanlec> gordonjcp, and what tool/cmd does this?
[08:47] <gordonjcp> Evanlec: if you uncompress an mp3 and then recompress it, you lose a bit of quality - it's like making a tape-to-tape copy
[08:47] <Evanlec> Hyber[at]Work, there's Ekiga and Skype, the most popular
[08:48] <V1k1ng> so what is the best way to install a comprehensive set of codecs?
[08:48] <brandon_> I'm goin to
[08:48] <Pyrobyte> rebooting
[08:48] <Evanlec> gordonjcp, alright fair enough, is there any better way?
[08:48] <V1k1ng> in ubuntu?
[08:48] <desertc> V1k1ng: I own a cartridge of Super Mario Brothers, but I don't complain that it doesn't run on Ubuntu.  ;-)
[08:48] <gordonjcp> brandon_: well, the game needs to be written properly to take advantage of sensible libraries
[08:48] <gordonjcp> Evanlec: nope
[08:48] <Hyber[at]Work> Evanlec, I need it for our internal SIP PBX at work, so skype is no go..
[08:48] <Clearze2> limbern: will it let you purge postfix and reinstall?
[08:48] <Evanlec> Hyber[at]Work, ooh, well i donno then
[08:48] <gordonjcp> desertc: zsnes
[08:48] <bazhang> V1k1ng: medibuntu is probably the easiest
[08:48] <V1k1ng> desertc, who's complaining?  i boot into windows when I want to game  :D
[08:48] <Inverse> desertc  mario does run on ubuntu
[08:48] <brandon_> lol
[08:48] <V1k1ng> baz:  on synaptic?
[08:48] <desertc> gordonjcp: But the cartridge won't fit into my cdrom drive!!!
[08:48] <Evanlec> i remember itunes had an on-the-fly normalizing type option
[08:49] <desertc> !skype
[08:49] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[08:49] <V1k1ng> or are you talking about repositories?
[08:49] <Evanlec> gordonjcp, gnormalize any good?
[08:49] <gordonjcp> desertc: that's why you need an eprom programmer
[08:49] <gordonjcp> Evanlec: dunno, never used it

[08:49] <limbern> Clearze2: Am not shure. Am trying to just set up a very small webserver for som testing.
[08:49] <brandon_> V1k1ng: that kinda defeats the purpose of my getting linux in the first place (to save money to buy things)
[08:49] <Evanlec> uh huh
[08:49] <limbern> sure*
[08:49] <brandon_> lol
[08:49] <Clearze2> limbern: try sudo dpkg --purge postfix  and then reinstall it
[08:49] <Inverse> brandon what are you saving for?
[08:50] <desertc> Hmm - Skype is a closed protocol network.  That network is not compatible with the open SIP protocol client Ekiga provided with Ubuntu by default.
[08:50] <V1k1ng> brandon, it is almost counterproductive to buy a pc that doesn't come with windows, it is generally more expensive
[08:50] <brandon_> I don't know whatever just don't want to spend money that isn't necissary to spend especially sense this works just as good
[08:50] <Shadix> should my .themes file path be /home/username/.themes ?
[08:50] <desertc> brandon_: You're just using Linux to save money?  Sorry you missed the information on Freedom.
[08:50] <V1k1ng> the only thing that rubs me the wrong way is that windows takes up a good 10 gigs of hd space
[08:50] <limbern> Clearze2: i got the same error
[08:51] <Inverse> freedom is an illusion
[08:51] <Shadix> !ubuntu

[08:51] <Clearze2> limbern: when you tried to purge?
[08:51] <mitsuhashi> hi to every1

[08:52] <HuibertGill> brandon_: saving $100 for an OS on a $1000 pc?
[08:52] <shukty> hi dudes , i have a problem with mysql using ubuntu  ... it wont keep my root pass , i have to retype it , i mean   mysql -u root -p everytime .... something to fix it ?
[08:52] <Shadix> ....O.o
[08:52] <desertc> !mysql
[08:52] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[08:52] <V1k1ng> like I said, it is counterproductive to buy a pc that doesn't come with windows, it is generally more expensive
[08:52] <V1k1ng> I wish manufacturers gave you the option to buy something w/out vista
[08:52] <desertc> Ubuntu is worth twice the price of Windows.
[08:52] <V1k1ng> a few do
[08:52] <gordonjcp> shukty: if you type mysql -u root -p then you need to give it a password
[08:52] <Shadix> hey why don't we all take a look at the meaning of Ubuntu
[08:52] <gordonjcp> shukty: that's what the "-p" means
[08:53] <Inverse> you dont have to pay for windows preinstalled
[08:53] <brandon_> HuibertGill: who says I have a 1000 dollar pc, and 100 bucks is a chunk of change to me I am 18 go to college and only have a part time job
[08:53] <mitsuhashi> anyone have gutsy installed?
[08:53] <gordonjcp> Inverse: yes, you do
[08:53] <Shadix> Nelson Mandela has a great explination of his view
[08:53] <Inverse> gordonjcp, you dont
[08:53] <gordonjcp> Inverse: uhm, ok
[08:53] <shukty> shall i go to sleep , tnx man
[08:53] <HuibertGill> yeah, I know, sorry
[08:53] <BubblegumTate> I do
[08:53] <Clearze2> limbern: is the main.cf present at /etc/postfix/ ?
[08:53] <gordonjcp> Inverse: so the manufacturers just put it on for free, yeah?
[08:53] <wi1> hey, yesterday i installed 7.10 but kept my home folder on a different partition. now, all my old settings work except for evolution maol. it asks me if i want to restore a backup. which file in ~/.evolution/ _is_ my backup?
[08:53] <brandon_> no its alright
[08:53] <wi1> mail*
[08:54] <brandon_> lol
[08:54] <Shadix> ether way offtopic
[08:54] <Thecks> Anybody else been having problems with getting WebDavs to work on Nautillus?
[08:54] <V1k1ng> inverse:  then why does HP give you $100 credit for buying a computer w/out windows?
[08:54] <Shadix> :P
[08:54] <JimmyJazz> i don't have gutsy installed - is it worth it?
[08:54] <gordonjcp> Inverse: that's cool, I didn't know that Microsoft was giving it away for nothing
[08:54] <Inverse> UK freelancer Dave Mitchell bought a new Dell laptop, replaced its copy of Windows with Linux - and got money back from Dell for never using the Microsoft OS.
[08:54] <gordonjcp> JimmyJazz: what are you running at the moment?
[08:54] <bazhang> JimmyJazz: yes
[08:54] <brandon_> I didn't either I don
[08:54] <Inverse> gordonjcp, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6144782.stm
[08:54] <brandon_> need a new pc though*
[08:54] <mitsuhashi> the only thing that I can't understand in Gutsy is why Gnome takes a looooooooong time to start after the gdm login
[08:54] <limbern> Clearze2: No1Viking , the only .cf file i have is a master.cf
[08:54] <HuibertGill> Inverse: how MS handles the OEM market is not easy to discuss here
[08:55] <JimmyJazz> running feisty
[08:55] <Inverse> When he started it for the first time, he clicked the box that said "no" on the Windows licence agreement that asked him to agree to its terms. The text of this agreement states users can get a refund for the "unused products" on their new computer if they get in touch with the machine's manufacturer.
[08:55] <Shadix> HubibertGill, LMAO
[08:55] <limbern> sorry i mean: No, the only .cf file i have is a master.cf
[08:55] <HuibertGill> DELL/HP must sell a minimum amount (and percentage) of preinstalled Vista boxes, to get a certain rebate,
[08:55] <gordonjcp> Inverse: yes - which means that having Windows is costing you something
[08:55] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi, what's going on?
[08:55] <brandon_> lol
[08:55] <mitsuhashi> hi viking
[08:55] <HuibertGill> or worse, will not get MS OEM licenses
[08:55] <greencookie> sup
[08:56] <Clearze2> limbern: do you have a livecd?
[08:56] <limbern> yes
[08:56] <Shadix> ALL, Here's a good joke http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45194/

[08:56] <mitsuhashi> do u know why gnome takes up to 1 minute tu start after the first gdm login
[08:56] <mitsuhashi> ?
[08:56] <Shadix> right sry
[08:56] <HuibertGill> Judge Jackson has written it all down in the finding of facts, iat the end of the MS vs US trial
[08:56] <No1Viking> limbern, it's ok!  :)
[08:56] <brandon_> if I get a different distrobution will that solve my problem about steam?
[08:56] <HuibertGill> It is an very long, but very interseting read
[08:56] <Myrtti> HuibertGill: that goes for you too
[08:56] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi, no, i had a different problem with my boot hanging before the gdm login
[08:56] <HuibertGill> Myrtti: what?
[08:56] <JimmyJazz> gotta go - baby crying
[08:57] <mitsuhashi> with a blak screen?
[08:57] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi, yeah
[08:57] <Myrtti> !offtopic > HuibertGill
[08:57] <mitsuhashi> just after grub?
[08:57] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi, right
[08:57] <mitsuhashi> ok
[08:57] <Shadix> so where are my themes stored, i mean what is SUPPOSED to be the fie path?
[08:57] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi, i just killed the splash screen
[08:57] <Clearze2> limbern: I don't know a lot about postfix but if the file is not present at all it would seem like you could copy the main.cf from the livecd to /etc/postfix/  . That being said I don't know if it would have to be altered at all to work with your system.
[08:57] <mitsuhashi> I had that problem too
[08:57] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi,  ugly but it works
[08:57] <HuibertGill> Myrtti: I was not going any further anyways
[08:57] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi, how did u work around it?
[08:58] <Myrtti> HuibertGill: just so you know
[08:58] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi, adjust vga settings?
[08:58] <bryan553> i wonder does "wget" command support referring option ? (if i would like to download file from : www.demo.com/1234.zip . but the website approve downloads just from the referring "www.demo.com" ?
[08:58] <mitsuhashi> I've solved editing the /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:58] <DemonTux> anybody interested in newer distro
[08:58] <Shadix> Always
[08:58] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi,  what did you edit, if I might ask
[08:58] <alch3mist> how to do you calibrate a joystick in ubuntu?
[08:58] <limbern> Clearze2: ok, i try to copy it from the live cd. Thanks for the help! :)
[08:58] <V1k1ng> ????
[08:58] <alch3mist> how do you calibrate a joystick in ubuntu?
[08:58] <desertc> !joystick
[08:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about joystick - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[09:01] <gIrl_swEet> hi
[09:01] <CCB0x45> hey, how do I turn on compiz-fusion and all its effects under gutsy?
[09:02] <desertc> !effects
[09:02] <ubotu> Desktop Effects are supported on graphics cards that use the default Intel and ATI drivers and the restricted !NVIDIA drivers, except for the following, which are blacklisted due to stability/compatibility issues: Intel 965, ATI Rs480 and Rv350, ATI Mobility x300, x600 and x700 - Join #compiz-fusion for anything not officially supported by Ubuntu

[09:02] <eckesicle> CCB0x45, then click on tab Visual Effects
[09:02] <Evanlec> gordonjcp, i believe you are mistaken about the having to re-encode mp3's to change volume: http://www.linux.com/articles/59957
[09:02] <CCB0x45> eckesicle, yea I turned on all the visual effect
[09:03] <CCB0x45> visual effects, I dont notice a different
[09:03] <CCB0x45> and for some reason my windows like now stick to the top bar
[09:03] <mitsuhashi> V1k1ng did you read my messages?
[09:03] <CCB0x45> I cant move them around
[09:03] <bamsamba> is there a way to delay the subtitle in mplayer/vlc?
[09:03] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi, no, i didn't see it!!!
[09:03] <bamsamba> i can't find an offset option in mplayer man
[09:03] <eckesicle> CCB0x45, yes they are sticky. Just drag a little harder
[09:03] <V1k1ng> CCB0x45, is your videocard properly set up?
[09:04] <mitsuhashi> I changed the #defoptions line adding the vga parameter using the value for my monitor
[09:04] <CCB0x45> eckesicle, how do you drag harder lol
[09:04] <mitsuhashi> in my case 1024x758 that is the vga value 791
[09:04] <mitsuhashi> so my line looks like this
[09:04] <mitsuhashi> # defoptions = quiet splash vga=791
[09:04] <CCB0x45> V1k1ng, I assume its set up, it seems to be working
[09:04] <mitsuhashi> my boot no longer hangs and it display the splash ;-)
[09:04] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi, if you are sending me /msgs, I ain't getting 'em
[09:04] <eckesicle> CCB0x45, press your mouse button harder :)
[09:04] <Evanlec> mitsuhashi, i wish that worked for me :(
[09:04] <CCB0x45> lol I cant press my mouse button any harder
[09:05] <eckesicle> CCB0x45, just try to drag further it should work.
[09:05] <CCB0x45> no they wont come off
[09:05] <eckesicle> I know they stick
[09:06] <V1k1ng> CCB0x45, right click on the desk top, go to "change background..." and, in that preferences menu, go to the last tab...try to enable "custom"
[09:06] <mitsuhashi> V1k1ng did you read my lasts publkic messages?
[09:06] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi, yes!  how did you do it????
[09:06] <CCB0x45> k
[09:06] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi, I had to break my splash screen so now I get ugly text   :(
[09:07] <V1k1ng> mitsuhashi, but I don't have to wait 93829 hrs for it to load
[09:07] <CCB0x45> V1k1ng, there is just None, Normal, and Extra
[09:07] <Evanlec> i just wish i could get text in anything but 640x480 :(
[09:07] <V1k1ng> CCB0x45, you need something hold on
[09:08] <mitsuhashi> V1k1ng, after I modified the # defoptions line of the /boot/grub/menu.lst how explained I get the splash immediatly
[09:08] <CCB0x45> and why are all my windows stuck in place lol
[09:08] <eckesicle> CCB0x45, double click in menu bar. can you move them now?
[09:08] <eckesicle> sorry not menubar, namelist

[09:12] <CCB0x45> eckesicle, I cant turn anything off
[09:12] <CCB0x45> I just have a blank screen with a mouse
[09:12] <V1k1ng> uh oh
[09:12] <V1k1ng> so x crashed or can you restart x?
[09:13] <CCB0x45> that was after I restarted X
[09:13] <CCB0x45> im in X
[09:13] <CCB0x45> but with no window manager... so I cant do anything
[09:13] <aasi> hi there, where is the keymap for ubuntu found?
[09:13] <aasi> some where in /etc?
[09:13] <docta_v> my wifi card constantly disconnects.. it's driving me nuts
[09:14] <CCB0x45> control-alt-backspace is doing nothing
[09:14] <docta_v> i even bought an atheros card and same problem
[09:14] <V1k1ng> CCB0x45,  try to reboot?
[09:14] <bazhang> docta_v: what is the error message if any
[09:14] <CCB0x45> rebooting
[09:15] <ardy> Hi Has anyone here setup an LDAP client in ubuntu?
[09:15] <V1k1ng> docta_v, u using broadcom card?
[09:15] <ardy> please?

[09:17] <ardy> bazhang: I got page not found
[09:17] <CCB0x45> eckesicle, im still rebooting cause I think it tried to load the wrong wifi driver that time and froze
[09:17] <docta_v> i was using a realtek card before that with ndiswrapper
[09:17] <docta_v> i also had to restart networking but not as often
[09:17] <docta_v> and occassionally it would just lock up my system
[09:17] <ardy> Bazhang: I know how to setup ldap as a client, the problem is that kssyslogd uses the inits before the network does
[09:17] <docta_v> so i got an atheros card... still get disconnects
[09:17] <ardy> and it tries to use suer syslod
[09:18] <rtl8139> docta_v: too far away from the wireless AP?
[09:18] <docta_v> i'm not using the stock firmware on my AP but still... nothing else has a problem with it
[09:18] <bazhang> ardy: well, that was my best--clueless otherwise--sorry :}
[09:18] <ardy> which then causes pam_ldap.so to hang forever trying to connect to the ldap server which it cannot because of networkig not being up

[09:20] <phoenix_> *takes a number*
[09:20] <bazhang> geometry: type /join first
[09:20] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,  so you've installed the drivers and nothing?
[09:21] <phoenix_> no
[09:21] <phoenix_> I haven't installed drivers
[09:21] <phoenix_> I've installed the os...
[09:21] <V1k1ng> ok
[09:21] <bazhang> !ati | phoenix_
[09:21] <ubotu> phoenix_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:22] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,  there should be a restricted drivers manager in the upper right, next to network stuff
[09:22] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   you should be able to get ati drivers from there...
[09:22] <phoenix_> ummm
[09:22] <phoenix_> where?
[09:22] <V1k1ng> CCB0x45,   http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Advanced_Desktop_Effects_.28Compiz_Fusion.29
[09:23] <V1k1ng> CCB0x45, try that out
[09:23] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   upper right on the tool bar?
[09:23] <phoenix_> nothing...
[09:23] <tamino> V1k1ng, saw that you're talking about ATi-drivers. I'm using Envy, but got some problems, anything you heard of before?
[09:24] <V1k1ng> tamino, word on the street is that if u use envy, you might as well reinstall  :(
[09:24] <bazhang> heh
[09:24] <CCB0x45> V1k1ng, thanks
[09:24] <tamino>  =S
[09:24] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   hold on brother
[09:24] <V1k1ng> tamino,   been there, done that  :(
[09:25] <tamino> it solved two problems, but i got two new ones. =S
[09:25] <tamino> or,, three
[09:25] <[che][xma][fz]> mmmm
[09:25] <phoenix_> hey
[09:26] <phoenix_> it said "no restricted drivers are needed"
[09:26] <phoenix_> all I'm trying to do is get my compiz to work...
[09:26] <phoenix_> but everytime I click "syste" -> prefs -> appearance
[09:26] <V1k1ng> u will need those drivers
[09:26] <phoenix_> then visual effects
[09:26] <phoenix_> hm
[09:27] <phoenix_> linux-restricted-modules-generic is already the newest version.
[09:27] <phoenix_> linux-restricted-modules-generic set to manual installed.
[09:27] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   go up into system  --> administration -->  restricted drivers manager
[09:27] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   it's like a greenish icon
[09:28] <dansku> hello, i'm trying to install the new XMMS, but this message GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed , but can't install it, does any one have any idea how can I make it work?
[09:28] <V1k1ng> tamino,   I don't know man, all I know is that envy seriously screwed up my system
[09:28] <phoenix_> "your hardware does not need any restricted drivers"
[09:28] <phoenix_> thats exactly what I get when I click on it...
[09:28] <V1k1ng> lol
[09:28] <V1k1ng> ok
[09:28] <bazhang> dansku: from the repositories?
[09:28] <tamino> ty for the help V1k1ng, i'll try and uninstall Envy, (keep my fingers krossed) and then just install it from Restricted Drivers
[09:28] <dansku> bazhang, but there's no apt-get install glib
[09:29] <V1k1ng> tamino, I would try reinstalling and using the restricted drivers manager  if you've got ati
[09:29] <Myrtti> dansku: no, the xmms?
[09:29] <tamino> btw V1k1ng  do you use one or two screens?
[09:29] <V1k1ng> tamino,  seriously save yourself a headache
[09:29] <bazhang> dansku: what is the precise name? glib is likely not it
[09:29] <V1k1ng> tamino,   one, i'm on a laptop
[09:29] <dansku> Myrtti, but in the repository, ubunu only have the old version
[09:29] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   open a terminal    applications-->accessories
[09:29] <Myrtti> dansku: why do you want the new version?
[09:29] <tamino> ok, not many that are using dual-screens it seeems
[09:30] <dansku> this is the msg: configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***
[09:30] <Myrtti> dansku: does it have some cool feature that you can't live without?
[09:30] <pipelineaudio> wooooooooooooooooot
[09:30] <pipelineaudio> http://shup.com/Shup/12002/IMAGE_123.jpg
[09:30] <dansku> I want to try out
[09:30] <pipelineaudio> finally my ubuntu works!
[09:30] <dansku> it's been a while without new versions :)
[09:30] <phoenix_> and?
[09:30] <phoenix_> I know basic stuff mate;)
[09:30] <V1k1ng> pipelineaudio,   mine is working too!  only 1 minor glitch
[09:30] <pipelineaudio> sweet!
[09:31] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   type "glxgears"
[09:31] <pipelineaudio> nice feeling of accomplishment lol
[09:31] <Myrtti> dansku: if there's nothing astoundingly cool and new in the newer versions, I'd stick to the one found in the repositories
[09:31] <bazhang> yay pipelineaudio!
[09:31] <pipelineaudio> after torturing everyone in here for 3 days
[09:31] <bazhang> hehe
[09:31] <dansku> Myrtti, have any idea how long will take to update from the repository?
[09:31] <Myrtti> dansku: define update
[09:31] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   what's happening?
[09:32] <CCB0x45> whats the super button?
[09:32] <bazhang> windows
[09:32] <CCB0x45> ah ok
[09:32] <Myrtti> dansku: I don't know how broadband your broadband is
[09:32] <V1k1ng> CCB0x45,   you're scaring me  :D
[09:32] <V1k1ng> I guess I have two glitches
[09:32] <V1k1ng> my wireless is not working optimally
[09:32] <V1k1ng> but at least it's working
[09:33] <dansku> Myrtti, like, it a meka a apt-get upgrade it will install the newest version, not the old one that is right now there
[09:33] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   u there??
[09:33] <Myrtti> dansku: if you've been doing your software updates as everyone should, you're having the newest version the repositories have
[09:33] <Myrtti> dansku: the thing is this
[09:34] <phoenix_> ya
[09:34] <phoenix_> one tick
[09:34] <gh> hi every body
[09:34] <phoenix_> $ sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
[09:34] <phoenix_> Warning: Could not find configuration file
[09:34] <phoenix_> Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11
[09:34] <Myrtti> dansku: you might be just fine doing the upgrade the oldfashioned "build it from the sources" "download the installation package from a webpage" thing
[09:34] <phoenix_> that can't be good...
[09:34] <gh> may i ask a question about Ubuntu Cloning ?
[09:35] <phoenix_> neat
[09:35] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   bad...I think that means ubuntu did not recognize your hardware!
[09:35] <gh> I have the following issue :
[09:35] <phoenix_> I see gears
[09:35] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   the gears are running?
[09:35] <CCB0x45> these effects are pretty fun
[09:35] <phoenix_> ya
[09:35] <Myrtti> dansku: but for future updates, dependency resolving and everything, I suggest you really stick with the xmms you've already got from the repos and upgrade from there
[09:35] <phoenix_> 1921 frames in 5.0 seconds = 382.439 FPS
[09:35] <phoenix_> 1469 frames in 5.2 seconds = 285.215 FPS
[09:35] <phoenix_> 1356 frames in 5.2 seconds = 260.710 FPS
[09:35] <V1k1ng> Phoenix321_,   in terminal it should be giving you a report of fps...what does it say?
[09:36] <phoenix_> hehe
[09:36] <phoenix_> already ahead of ya;)
[09:36] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   that is low
[09:36] <phoenix_> hmm
[09:36] <phoenix_> well, this IS just vmware
[09:36] <V1k1ng> so it must not be recognizing your vid card
[09:36] <gh> on two physically identical machines, i rsynced one disk on the other (booted Knoppix to do so, via the network)
[09:36] <phoenix_> is that an issue?
[09:36] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   even so
[09:36] <phoenix_> I'm using vmware on a windows box...
[09:36] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   probably, that is something i know nothing about
[09:36] <gh> i changed the UUID stuff in etc/fstab
[09:36] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   you should try to set up a dual boot system
[09:36] <phoenix_> fawt...
[09:37] <phoenix_> fawk*
[09:37] <phoenix_> I'm thinkin' about it
[09:37] <joe-free-t> hello
[09:37] <phoenix_> but has that been fixed?
[09:37] <phoenix_> I remember when windows+redhat caused a load of issues
[09:37] <mosibfu> 304 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.716 FPS
[09:37] <gh> but the target clone won't boot : it stalled at the "starting kernel log daemon" step...
[09:37] <V1k1ng> CCB0x45,   Hey, i'm glad that solution worked, you got the cube and everything?
[09:37] <gh> does anybody know why ?
[09:38] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   I'm running ubuntu and windows on this laptop with no issues...been running all sorts of distros for the past few months
[09:38] <joe-free-t> can anyone help me with a wireless issue?
[09:39] <V1k1ng> joe-free-t, broadcom?
[09:39] <joe-free-t> erm zydas
[09:39] <punzada> phoenix_, that has absolutely been fixed, dual booting and even multi booting is basically a non issue entirely at this point
[09:39] <joe-free-t> I've read the forum posts but I'm too much of a novice to understand
[09:40] <V1k1ng> joe-free-t,   sorry dude, you'll have to start a post or ask someone else
[09:40] <_blitz_> When i did a glxgears ,i got 1250 FPS with my nvidia card.is that ok?
[09:40] <joe-free-t> ok
[09:40] <V1k1ng> _blitz_,   I dunno, I get 2000 or so with my radeon 9600
[09:41] <V1k1ng> joe-free-t,   I think it's noob helping noob this late at night  :D
[09:42] <mosibfu> V1k1ng: 78033 frames in 5.0 seconds = 15606.535 FPS
[09:42] <_blitz_> V1k1ng  I just wanted to know if this was outlandish
[09:42] <CCB0x45> compiz is pretty cool
[09:42] <V1k1ng> phoenix_,   you should set up a small partition for ubuntu and play around with it...i just started with an old PIII box
[09:42] <V1k1ng> CCB0x45,   you like?  I'm glad that guide worked
[09:42] <CCB0x45> is there any way with fusion you can just download like settings that people have created
[09:43] <dejai> u
[09:43] <CCB0x45> that tie everything together well?
[09:43] <_blitz_> Yeah this is why i asked.i heard other people too were getiing above 10 k FPS
[09:43] <CCB0x45> cause right now its pretty like tossed together
[09:43] <mosibfu> _blitz_: i run an awsome box here mate, very hard to compare
[09:43] <V1k1ng> CCB0x45,   I dunno...It's so new that I'm guess that'll come in a few months
[09:43] <CCB0x45> ah cool
[09:43] <punzada> _blitz_, are you using the nvidia closed source drivers ?
[09:43] <punzada> that does look a little low for the card
[09:43] <V1k1ng> mosibfu, that is pretty impressive
[09:44] <_blitz_> mosibu ..ok ok.
[09:44] <CCB0x45> my old dell laptop runs ubuntu really nice
[09:44] <mosibfu> _blitz_: i would say you ave a 5200 something, and you have 3d desktop on
[09:44] <CCB0x45> I had only used ubuntu for my mythtv box
[09:44] <_blitz_> i am using nvidia closed source
[09:44] <CCB0x45> figured I would install it on my old laptop, runs compiz nicely
[09:44] <_blitz_> 6200 TC 3D Desktop is on
[09:45] <mosibfu> _blitz_: turn desktop op, and 6200 is kinda low clocked aswell, same as 5200 basically, so i was close
[09:45] <mosibfu> _blitz_: i run 2x 8500GT overclocked on SLI :P
[09:45] <punzada> lol dick :P
[09:45] <_blitz_> mosibfu .you really mean off?
[09:46] <punzada> i have a evga 7600gt on my machine, nowhere near top of the line but i love that card
[09:46] <mosibfu> _blitz_: ye sorry thats what i mean, i think u will hit 1800/2000 then
[09:46] <MTecknology> what comes between any of these? low, medium, high
[09:46] <punzada> i beat it like it owes me money :P
[09:46] <_blitz_> mosibfu...my god helluva box over there:)
[09:46] <MTecknology> I need 4 variables for this and my brain's fried...
[09:46] <cyberick> Have anyone got problem with big fonts at the login window? ;\
[09:47] <mosibfu> _blitz_: ye, hehe ;)
[09:47] <mosibfu> _blitz_: thats why i said, hard to compare
[09:47] <allan> nope
[09:47] <V1k1ng> cyberick, yeah, that usually means your vid card is not set up properly
[09:48] <_blitz_> mosibfu... dont bother to compare.
[09:48] <_blitz_> i use beryl
[09:48] <V1k1ng> mosibfu, whut are you doing with all that firepower?
[09:48] <mosibfu> V1k1ng: dont laugh, i do hardly 100 FPS in counter-strike+wine..
[09:48] <V1k1ng> besides going into debt?
[09:48] <xivanari> hey can someone help me fix my graphics card configuration, my xorg file has become seriously messed up.
[09:49] <xivanari> http://pastebin.ca/790365 theres a copy of my xorg file
[09:49] <V1k1ng> mosibfu,  better than the 35 I get in windows
[09:49] <mosibfu> V1k1ng: i never go into debt :P
[09:49] <mikebeecham> good morning all....can anyone tell me why the fonts on Ubuntu do not quite look the same as on windows?  For example I am running firefox, but even using the Arial font, it's not quite the same somehow?
[09:49] <mosibfu> V1k1ng: in windows i get about 400
[09:49] <riotkittie> xivanari: running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' might help
[09:49] <V1k1ng> mosibfu,   lol, that's insande
[09:49] <xivanari> riotkittie so i have heard
[09:50] <punzada> 400 fps in source mosibfu ?
[09:50] <V1k1ng> mikebeecham, i think that is because those are microsoft proprietary fonts
[09:50] <mosibfu> V1k1ng: ye well i rather have too much power then fps drops :P
[09:50] <punzada> or 1.6?
[09:50] <xivanari> riotkittie: however i have tried running that with x-server shut down even and it wont work
[09:50] <xivanari> doesnt do anything
[09:50] <waan> I'm trying to edit the main menu items in my system preferences, but when I put a tick in "system tools" the tick goes away. Anyone know why this is?
[09:50] <mikebeecham> V1k1ng: ...I have installed the core MS fonts...so the fonts in MS are the same as Ubuntu
[09:50] <Meroigo> When theen software updates, are the updates put into the program even if they are running? Because it never asks me to restart a program... Maybe one time when Firefox was updated, then it needed a restart.
[09:50] <mikebeecham> but for some reason the linux one look 'wider'
[09:50] <Lamartin> hi every body
[09:50] <cyberick> V1king, is there any "trick" for me to fix the big font's error?
[09:50] <_blitz_> mosibfu: is 7600GT an acceptable card?
[09:51] <mosibfu> punzada: no in 1.6 mate, i am oldschool, play since 1999
[09:51] <V1k1ng> mikebeecham,  I remember doing this in 7.04 and thinking that they didn't look right either
[09:51] <Lamartin> can anybody help my on a replication issue with Ubuntu ?
[09:51] <Jordan_U__> cyberick, Change the DPI setting
[09:51] <mosibfu> _blitz_: yes its a good card, i have one here, sadly i could not find a second one for SLI so i had to buy 2 new cards
[09:51] <Jordan_U__> cyberick, System -> Preferences -> Fonts, look in advanced
[09:51] <punzada> mosibfu, figured so, I work for a hosting company, we do lots of CS:S/1/6/cz servers etc etc
[09:51] <V1k1ng> cyberick,   yeah, make sure your vid card is set up properly
[09:51] <suubpar> !wireless
[09:51] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:52] <punzada> was going to be super impressed if you got that fps in source though :) ha.
[09:52] <s|eepy> hi there - anyone able to help me with Citrix?  Im trying to connect to work but keep getting errors from the ICA client about UTN-USERFirst-Hardware
[09:52] <Inverse> what card is it mosibfu
[09:52] <Jordan_U__> Lamartin, replication?
[09:52] <V1k1ng> V1k1ng,   what's probably happening is you system is booting into a low res login screen
[09:52] <mosibfu> Inverse: it is 8500GT overclocked (asus silent one) on SLI.. so 2 cards
[09:52] <mikebeecham> so is there anything in particular that I can do to sort the fonts out, or is this a linux issue?
[09:52] <mosibfu> punzada: i think i do about 200/250 in source..
[09:52] <Lamartin> Jordan_U : i am used to clone a model machine on many (identical) target machines with rsync
[09:52] <Jordan_U__> mikebeecham, What is wrong with the fonts?
[09:52] <V1k1ng> I do a lot of camping in source or else my machine lags up
[09:52] <punzada> that's respectable
[09:52] <Lamartin> Jordan_U : it always worked with Debian
[09:53] <punzada> I want those cards :)
[09:53] <mosibfu> V1k1ng: i dont like source that much, no offence, but there are alot of newbies there, i play since 1999, so its too easy
[09:53] <V1k1ng> cyberick, ,   what's probably happening is you system is booting into a low res login screen
[09:53] <mikebeecham> Jordan_U: ...Ih ave installed the core MS fonts, but when I look at a firefox screen, they dont exactly like they would in Windows...for some reason they look a little 'wider'
[09:53] <Jordan_U__> Lamartin, In what way is it not working with Ubuntu?
[09:53] <s|eepy> I have tried importing a new key but same every time - I have connected using Citrix with older versions of Ubuntu fine - but this one (Gutsy) just aint playing :(
[09:53] <mikebeecham> web pages, for example, do not quite look the same
[09:53] <punzada> I just like to use the game as a good benchmark for modern performance, I always like the 1.6 gameplay best myself :)
[09:53] <mosibfu> punzada: they are not expensive, 100 euro per card
[09:53] <V1k1ng> mosibfu,   me too, but I don't play that much anymore so I'm a noob again
[09:53] <s|eepy> And I should have been logged in and working like 1hr ago lol
[09:53] <cyberick> V1k1ng, The problem is that I have no idea how to change that.
[09:54] <mosibfu> V1k1ng: i played source for 3 months, last 2 months i played source i made 2100 euro a month..
[09:54] <Lamartin> Jordan_U : the boot process gets blocked at the "Starting Kernel log daemon" step
[09:54] <punzada> I'd have to be buying a lot more then 2 of the cards though :)
[09:54] <punzada> I have neither the psu or the mobo to support them lol
[09:54] <CCB0x45> how do you add desktops?
[09:54] <V1k1ng> cyberick,   what kind of card do you have???
[09:55] <mosibfu> punzada: i had that problem aswell, so i saved money and buy some really phat system ;)
[09:55] <punzada> haha, I'll be scraping by, holidays and such, but come my raise in january i'll be able to rebeef up my system
[09:55] <V1k1ng> I'm going to download a bunch of hacks so that I can keep up with you high-end hardware types :D
[09:55] <mosibfu> V1k1ng: shooters is like riding a bicycle, you will never forget how, just a little getting used to
[09:55] <bazhang> mosibfu: what do you use the second card for?
[09:55] <riotkittie> CCB0x45: System > Preferences > Appearance [its an option on one of the tabs, though i forget where] or System > preferences > advanced appearance... if you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed. General Options, horizontal virtual desktops.
[09:56] <mosibfu> bazhang: i have SLI, so 2 cards work togeather
[09:56] <CCB0x45> thanks
[09:56] <bazhang> mosibfu: would that work on intel?
[09:56] <xivanari> why is it that every time i click the test button under screen and graphics preferences then it just shuts down the entire preferences window without doing anything
[09:56] <cyberick> V1k1ng, I think is a intel chipset... not video card
[09:56] <xivanari> and why is it that none of my preferences in that menu are ever saved
[09:56] <Lamartin> Jordan_U : i changed the UUID settings in the /etc/fstab but it has nothing to do about it
[09:56] <mosibfu> bazhang: on intel cards? or intel CPU? you will need SLI ready motherboard, and 2 identical cards, that is all
[09:57] <V1k1ng> cyberick, I am not sure what to do with those intel accelerators
[09:57] <bazhang> mosibfu: not sure how to check my mobo--it's an asus desktop
[09:57] <V1k1ng> can anyone help cyberick to see if his intel graphics card is working properly?
[09:58] <Lamartin> Jordan_U : can U help me ?
[09:58] <bazhang> cyberick: the intel video card not working with compiz? or something else
[09:59] <mosibfu> bazhang: if it has nvidia chipset, and 2 pci-e 16 slots, it will work, the pci-e slots, you can just look into your case, but i dont know how to check the chipset
[09:59] <V1k1ng> bazhang, we were trying to determine if it is even set up, i've only ever set up ati
[09:59] <bazhang> mosibfu: wow. I am so doing that..hehe thanks!
[09:59] <cyberick> bazhang, I have the problem with the big fonts at login screen
[10:00] <mosibfu> bazhang: if i am right, asus print the motherboard name, on the motherboard, so you can read the type from there, and google for specifications
[10:00] <bazhang> cyberick: I have that problem as well, though it goes away with the login screen right?
[10:00] <cyberick> bazhang, Yeah. Everything normal after login.
[10:00] <bazhang> mosibfu: cheers! will google asap. :}
[10:00] <Lamartin> Jordan_U__: the boot process gets blocked at the "Starting Kernel log daemon" step
[10:00] <JPSman> how do I dual monitor again?
[10:01] <mosibfu> bazhang: easyest is www.asus.com.tw (i also have asus motherboard, asus a8n sli-se
[10:01] <Lamartin> Jordan_U__ : i changed the UUID settings in the /etc/fstab but it has nothing to do about it
[10:01] <bazhang> cyberick: I think it's a common complaint--not actually a showstopper though--everything works ok once on the desktop?

[10:01] <bazhang> thanks mosibfu!
[10:01] <abcent> stupid question... i've d/loaded drivers to desktop! how to install?
[10:01] <cyberick> bazhang, Yep, it's just that it's strange since my ubuntu 7.04 worked perfectly.
[10:01] <mosibfu> Kalamansi: i kind of love asus, very stabile for me, also have 2 asus 3d cards :)
[10:02] <Kalamansi> cyberick: whats the model of your mobo?
[10:02] <Kalamansi> mosibfu: thats cool.but i dont like asus because its expensive.hehehe
[10:02] <mosibfu> bazhang: no problem mate, if you need help setting SLI up just say my name here, im here most of time
[10:02] <mosibfu> Kalamansi: quality costs some money ;)
[10:02] <JPSman> what was linux written in?  pearl?
[10:03] <BrendanJ> mostly C
[10:03] <BrendanJ> the kernel, anyway
[10:03] <bazhang> cyberick: perhaps a workaround would be to follow this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3741031
[10:03] <AmiDaniel_away> An operating system written in pearl ... that would be a sight to see :)
[10:03] <AmiDaniel_away> perl*
[10:03] <bazhang> mosibfu: me too; :} will do.
[10:04] <cyberick> bazhang, Already tried that. ;\
[10:04] <Lunz> hi
[10:04] <Jordan_U__> AmiDaniel_away, An operating system in lisp, that would be a sight to see :)... )))))))
[10:04] <Lunz> how do i install compiz icon from command line?
[10:04] <V1k1ng> cyberick, for me it was video acceleration, lack thereof caused ubuntu to give me a lower res screen with higher fonts
[10:04] <Kalamansi> mosibfu : quality really rocks.well its just that i couldnt afford..well if yer rich as bill gates, send me mobo here hehe
[10:04] <AmiDaniel_away> Jordan_U__: Haha ... well the one line of source code in any case :))
[10:04] <V1k1ng> cyberick, the desktop also was slow and sluggish
[10:05] <mosibfu> Kalamansi: haha im not rich, but i had a girlfriend, i give her lots of presents, then we break up, so then i got alot of money left :P
[10:05] <V1k1ng> I need to get a new lap top
[10:05] <abcent> stupid question... i've d/loaded drivers to desktop! how to install? please totally new to Linux
[10:05] <Jordan_U__> abcent, Drivers for what?
[10:05] <V1k1ng> abcent:  drivers for what?
[10:05] <V1k1ng> lol
[10:05] <abcent> GFX
[10:06] <abcent> nvidia
[10:06] <mosibfu> abcent: what card?
[10:06] <cyberick> V1k1ng, Well the login screen looks just perfect, i mean... resolution at login screen is just fine.
[10:06] <Jordan_U__> abcent, System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[10:06] <kahari> hi
[10:06] <Kalamansi> mosibfu  so yer single now dude?
[10:06] <mosibfu> Kalamansi: noo man :P not anymore lol
[10:06] <abcent> jordan ... tried that
[10:06] <V1k1ng> abcent,   yeah use the manager
[10:07] <bazhang> cyberick: how about this? http://karper.wordpress.com/2007/11/09/kubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-a-review/
[10:07] <V1k1ng> cyberick,   I dunno then!
[10:07] <abcent> k
[10:07] <Jordan_U__> abcent, What happened when you tried it?
[10:07] <Kalamansi> mosibfu what are you using?gaim?pidgin?
[10:07] <cyberick> V1k1ng, However, this problem isn't affecting the performance of my system... I'm gonna try googling a lil' bit more.
[10:07] <mikebeecham> is there a ubuntu room that deals with graphical elements, such as metacity, etc?
[10:07] <mikebeecham> or should I be asking my questions here?
[10:07] <mosibfu> Kalamansi: for irc i use xchat, for msn i use amsn
[10:07] <abcent> jordan... too many hours ago to remember
[10:07] <cyberick> V1k1ng, Thanks very much for the intention.
[10:08] <mosibfu> mikebeecham: just ask mate ;)
[10:08] <Kalamansi> i mean all in one application..e.g gaim
[10:08] <Kalamansi> mosibfu
[10:08] <Jordan_U__> abcent, I assume it didn't work?
[10:08] <cyberick> bazhang, I'm gonna check it right away! Thanks!
[10:08] <V1k1ng> cyberick,  we noobs try to help each other!
[10:08] <abcent> nope
[10:08] <mosibfu> Kalamansi: erm, i dont :P i use seperate for a reason
[10:08] <cyberick> :>
[10:08] <Kalamansi> i see..whats the reason mosibfu ?
[10:08] <mosibfu> Kalamansi: amsn support cam and so :P
[10:08] <abcent> eill keep at it thought :)
[10:08] <V1k1ng> mikebeecham,   what's up now?
[10:08] <abcent> will*
[10:08] <Kalamansi> really?wow i should add that.mosibfu
[10:08] <mikebeecham> hi mosibfu...ok, I notice that I can download various elements, such as metacity and gtk2.  As a windows user of many years, can someone please explain what metacity and gtk2 are, and how I would go about installing new ones?
[10:09] <mikebeecham> V1k1ng: I've been using linux for 3 days now, so please bear with me
[10:09] <Jordan_U__> abcent, Is this a very new card?
[10:09] <V1k1ng> mikebeecham,   I'm not that experienced either, but I'll try
[10:09] <abcent> yes 8600 GT
[10:10] <V1k1ng> fancy!
[10:10] <Jordan_U__> abcent, If you decide you need the newest drivers follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[10:10] <mosibfu> mikebeecham: well since linux is open-source, many people translated their view of how it shuld look into their own software, that is why there are different choises.
[10:10] <JPSman> so i take that using TwinView on gusty isn't a good idea right now?
[10:10] <bazhang> cyberick: or here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/16472
[10:10] <JPSman> seems to be alot of bugs in it
[10:10] <abcent> k tar
[10:10] <Jordan_U__> abcent, If you prefer a GUI you can try "envy" but I don't know the quality of that installer
[10:10] <V1k1ng> abcent,   DO NOT ENVY@!
[10:11] <Myrtti> !envy
[10:11] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[10:11] <mike503> is there any way to request expedited package addition to ubuntu? the newest libgoogle-perf stuff works, the current does not
[10:11] <mosibfu> Jordan_U__: envy breaks stuff ;)
[10:11] <cyberick> bazhang, Okis
[10:11] <Myrtti> Jordan_U__: you should know better
[10:11] <abcent> Viking?
[10:11] <V1k1ng> i think what abcent needs is a howto that tells him how to get a .tar installed
[10:11] <mrh> Say fellows, who is knowledgeable in the FireFox issues dept?
[10:11] <V1k1ng> abcent,   do not resort to using ENVY
[10:12] <V1k1ng> abcent,  it will break ur computer
[10:12] <abcent> Viking exactly
[10:12] <Jordan_U__> V1k1ng, I linked him to instructions to installing nvidia drivers manually
[10:12] <V1k1ng> OK
[10:12] <mosibfu> abcent: what V1k1ng says is true, i had to reinstall my computer because of that
[10:12] <V1k1ng> me 2
[10:12] <JPSman> Jordan_U__ could you link those to me too please ?
[10:12] <mikebeecham> JPSman:  I got twinview working on Gutsy fine last night mate
[10:12] <Jordan_U__> JPSman, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual

[10:12] <mrh> Just how do I truly and fully unistall firefox?
[10:13] <mrh> uninstall
[10:13] <mikebeecham> mosibfu : so metacity and gtk2 are essentially the same?
[10:13] <tv_> mrh: you gotta ask a more specific question.  Most everyone here uses FF
[10:13] <Jordan_U__> mrh, confuration and preference files and all?
[10:14] <User715> Hi
[10:14] <mrh> I think that is what I need to do, since reinstalling with synaptic did NO good
[10:14] <Jordan_U__> mrh, sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox
[10:14] <mosibfu> mikebeecham: well no, some programs use GTK for their look and feel, its like an engine, and metacity is a window manager
[10:14] <User715> I tried installing MP3 support through add/remove and it does not work.
[10:14] <Jordan_U__> mrh, What problem are you having exactly?
[10:14] <User715> Fresh install of latest ubuntu as well.
[10:14] <mosibfu> User715: install restricted extra's
[10:14] <mrh> Jordan - thanks
[10:14] <bazhang> which package User715
[10:14] <Jordan_U__> User715, Doesn't work in what way?
[10:14] <mrh> Well, I installed some extensions
[10:15] <mrh> And when I restarted Firefox
[10:15] <John_5> hey all
[10:15] <mrh> Several things went wrong at once
[10:15] <mrh> some of the extensions quit working
[10:15] <mosibfu> mikebeecham: gtk2 is standard installed, metacity is kinda outdated and replaced by compiz, but gtk+compiz(or metacity) make for what you see as your windows
[10:16] <JPSman> mikebeecham - how do I start using twinview on gutsy?
[10:16] <User715> Also I've ne er been able to get grahpics acceleration with my nvidia geforce2 card and I've had hours of support from the irc channel.
[10:16] <User715> And thats just for basic 2d acceleration
[10:16] <V1k1ng> is ubuntu y2k compatible?

[10:16] <frojnd> Guys, I have a huge problem. When I type in my login name and password gutsy needs about 3-5min to work properly, screen loads itself for 4min.... where is the hatch???
[10:16] <osfameron> V1k1ng: :-)
[10:16] <mosibfu> V1k1ng: im afraid not lol
[10:16] <V1k1ng> :D
[10:16] <mikebeecham> JPSman, mosibfu has posted a couple of links..it's worth looking at those
[10:16] <mosibfu> V1k1ng: but if it was y2k again, even 1 would be confused and crash
[10:17] <mrh> Jordan U
[10:17] <abcent> hey is there a way i can migrate thunderbird from vista to ubuntu?
[10:17] <mikebeecham> it's actually fairly easy once you have your nvidia drivers installed
[10:17] <V1k1ng> mosibfu,   good point
[10:17] <John_5> Next y2k is in 2036
[10:17] <mrh> as I was saying
[10:17] <mrh> some extensions quit working
[10:17] <mrh> so I tried several actions
[10:17] <mrh> I removed several
[10:17] <User715> Tried to install mp3 support. It said to use the synaptic manager. I tried to add is there. still didn't work.
[10:17] <User715> This is just mp3 support too
[10:17] <Usiu> Hi what is the current Ubuntu 7.10 xorg intel driver and xorg-core version ?
[10:17] <Juhaz> mikebeecham, gtk is a gui toolkit. it has bunch of ready widgets like buttons, textfields, etc. you can use to build an application
[10:18] <mrh> and then
[10:18] <Mortice> User715: what package did you install, and what program are you using to try to play mp3s?
[10:18] <Usiu> LoL
[10:18] <mrh> and now firefox does not launch
[10:18] <mikebeecham> juhaz thanks for that explanation...it all helps a noob with his understanding :D
[10:18] <User715> Is there a known problem with ubuntu and geforce2 mx?
[10:18] <mrh> I tried removing it through synaptic
[10:18] <JPSman> !xinerama
[10:18] <ubotu> xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[10:18] <User715> Because I've never been able to get it setup for even 2d graphics.
[10:18] <mrh> no go
[10:19] <mosibfu> User715: not an issue as far as i know, but you will need the nvidia-glx-legacy driver
[10:19] <mrh> I tried removing it completely and uninstalling
[10:19] <Mark761966> Is there a good reason I can't use GParted to partition my hard drive?
[10:19] <cyberick> bazhang, Thanks for the links, I'll advice you if anything worked!
[10:19] <JPSman> nope dont understand :OD
[10:19] <Juhaz> so gtk theme will affect the look of any application that was built on gtk, that includes all gnome apps and many others.
[10:19] <Usiu> User715, Should work
[10:19] <mrh> no go
[10:19] <mrh> after I installed again
[10:19] <mrh> that is
[10:19] <mrh> same thing
[10:19] <Usiu> Mark761966, yes
[10:19] <V1k1ng> !codec
[10:19] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:19] <Usiu> Mark761966, monted partition
[10:20] <mikebeecham> ok Juhaz...so does that mean that any theme I see as metacity will not work, because Ubuntu runs the gnome desktop?
[10:20] <mrh> This is very frustrating
[10:20] <Mark761966> But if I unmount it, won't my computer crash?
[10:20] <Cryx> Hey! I have a problem, i need to make script that checks if some daemon is up, and if it isnt it starts it up... The hard part of this is that the daemon itselfs prompts for password and username, i would have to make script to tell them for daemon.. is this even possible?
[10:20] <Maledictus> How do I disable wifi even after reboot?
[10:20] <mrh> I mean, this kind of stuff
[10:20] <mrh> is no better than windows
[10:20] <mrh> no better
[10:20] <mosibfu> mrh: have you ever find this kind of support for windows?
[10:20] <mrh> very dissappointed
[10:20] <V1k1ng> User715,   you can go into applications --> add/remove (set for all) -->  search for "restricted formats"
[10:21] <JPSman> would I select x86 for a display driver on nvidia.com ?
[10:21] <JPSman> or ia32?
[10:21] <Usiu> Mark761966, Use LiveCD, Install CD
[10:21] <V1k1ng> User715,   if you download that package you'll have mp3 support
[10:21] <mrh> mosibfu: I have never needed it bro
[10:21] <Juhaz> mikebeecham, they can both work, but will change different things. gtk theme will change the looks of all those buttons, etc. metacity themes basically specify how the window borders and titlebars look
[10:21] <Usiu> Mark761966, Why would you like to do that ?
[10:21] <mikebeecham> mrh....you have to understand that this is not 'out of the box', and also bear in mind that the very reason Microsoft bring out service packs is because it starts with issues similiar to yours
[10:21] <Usiu> Hi what is the current Ubuntu 7.10 xorg intel driver and xorg-core version ?
[10:21] <mosibfu> mrh: just because you are used to it mate, once you are used, you will need support at windows
[10:21] <mikebeecham> Juhaz: ....ahhhh
[10:21] <Usiu> Any Ubuntu users here ?
[10:21] <Usiu> What is the current Ubuntu 7.10 xorg intel driver and xorg-core version ?
[10:21] <mosibfu> Usiu: lol
[10:21] <Tigraine> yes
[10:21] <V1k1ng> when i installed 64 bit, ubuntu looked nicer  :(
[10:21] <mrh> mikebeecham
[10:22] <mikebeecham> mrh
[10:22] <mikebeecham> you next
[10:22] <bullgard4> [GNOME] What is meant by 'Default Mixer Tracks' in (Gnome main menu) System > Preferences  >  Sound > General > 'Default Mixer Tracks'?
[10:22] <mrh> I figured out how to make windows work on my own
[10:22] <mrh> yes its crappy
[10:22] <Mark761966> I thought it'd be nice to have a place to back up data to on the hard drive where it'd be safe if Ubuntu ever goes kaput
[10:22] <mrh> yes it sucks
[10:22] <abcent> lol
[10:22] <mrh> however
[10:22] <abcent> lol
[10:22] <V1k1ng> !mixer
[10:22] <mikebeecham> good man...give it a couple of months and you'll figure out linux as well...then you can multitask :D

[10:22] <HoudiniMan> Hi, I need help with manual partitioning - I got as far as shrinking my windows partition to make some space, got 50GB - now how do i create a new partition
[10:22] <mosibfu> bullgard4: it is the standart mixer stuff that ubuntu chose for you
[10:22] <mrh> I expected much more from GNU/Linux and Ubuntu
[10:22] <mikebeecham> also bear in mind that SLAP ON THE FRONT of the ubuntu website is an explanation that linux is not for the fainthearted!!!
[10:23] <mosibfu> mrh: if you are here to bash ubuntu, you might aswell leave...
[10:23] <mrh> Now I am considering FreeBSD
[10:23] <mikebeecham> mrh
[10:23] <mrh> dude not EVEN
[10:23] <HoudiniMan> Mrh, it's open source, go fix it
[10:23] <mrh> Not here to bash
[10:23] <mikebeecham> no disrespect, but you can always go back to windows if you're not happy?
[10:23] <mrh> Right Houdini
[10:23] <mosibfu> go mike go mike
[10:23] <bullgard4> mosibfu: Can you explain what do mean by 'stuff'?
[10:23] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, With Install LiveCD there are a coulple of programs that can do that cfdisk, parted ?
[10:23] <mikebeecham> this room is full of people who want to figure it out...it's all a journey mate
[10:23] <mrh> Nah, not going back to windows
[10:23] <mrh> however
[10:23] <mikebeecham> ubuntu is not a finished product...hence open source
[10:23] <HoudiniMan> Usiu, I made 50GB free space and now I'm using the Graphical Installer partitioner
[10:24] <mrh> I really did not think I would come across something like this on Ubuntu
[10:24] <V1k1ng> HoudiniMan,   i usually use gparted on a live cd to set up my partitions
[10:24] <Myrtti> !patience
[10:24] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[10:24] <mikebeecham> like what?  what is the issue mrh?
[10:24] <mosibfu> bullgard4: ubuntu automaticly chose your audio device etcetera.. stuff is= line-out line-in mic and so on
[10:24] <V1k1ng> HoudiniMan,   it works much faster/better
[10:24] <HoudiniMan> Need to get a rundown on 1) what is "use as" and 2) should i make a swap on another drive?
[10:24] <abcent> BSD sill needs windows
[10:24] <mikebeecham> and you're making it sound like you ubuntu has just slashed a town full of people?
[10:24] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, good then make / for reiserfs or ext3 and swap 2x your ram
[10:24] <abcent> BSD still needs windows
[10:24] <mikebeecham> what is the issue?
[10:24] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, and go ahead
[10:24] <mrh> the issue is that the kind of problem I am experiencing, is something I would expect from windows
[10:24] <gordonjcp> abcent: eh?
[10:24] <bullgard4> mosibfu: I see.
[10:24] <Kalamansi> mosibfu send me a copy of ubuntu server 7.10 and desktop dude...hehe
[10:24] <Mortice> mrh: you would get exactly the same behaviour on windows. you installed some faulty extensions which live in your own firefox configuration directory. That means that uninstalling firefox won't get rid of them, regardless of platform
[10:24] <HoudiniMan> make "/"? for "reiserfs?" ?
[10:25] <Mark761966> What issue is that mrh?
[10:25] <V1k1ng> HoudiniMan,   make a swap at the end to disk that is 2x the size of your RAM
[10:25] <mikebeecham> mrh...stop talking in riddles
[10:25] <mikebeecham> WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?
[10:25] <Myrtti> mikebeecham, mrh: have you read the topic? concentrate on the real issues, the problems and how to solve them here, and keep the bashing to someplace else
[10:25] <gordonjcp> mrh: what exactly is the problem?
[10:25] <Mortice> mrh: you need to remove your .firefox directory from your home directory, then apt-get --purge remove firefox, and then reinstall it
[10:25] <mosibfu> Kalamansi: how can i send it lol :) its faster to download from ubuntu.com and burn it yourself
[10:25] <HoudiniMan> Okay, swap 2x RAM at end of disk - ideally a separate HDD? or same?
[10:25] <mikebeecham> Myrett...I'm trying to understand the issue
[10:25] <mrh> not even bashing
[10:25] <abcent> BSD needs a platform to install from?
[10:25] <gordonjcp> abcent: uhm, what?
[10:25] <Mark761966> Damn. Now I know why I use Epiphany
[10:25] <Kalamansi> any rich people here?please send me a copy of ubuntu server edition 7.10 and desktop
[10:25] <mrh> Mortice: thanks
[10:25] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, Cretae new partition with filesystem reiserfs or ext3 (in contrast to fat23 or ntfs) and mount point should be set to /
[10:26] <mosibfu> HoudiniMan: same disk, and max 2 gB swap..
[10:26] <Mortice> abcent: like a computer capable of booting from removable media? :P
[10:26] <V1k1ng> HoudiniMan,   ideally the same, at the end of your linux partition
[10:26] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, then make second partition for spawping
[10:26] <Kalamansi> mosibfu for you but i have slow connection man
[10:26] <HoudiniMan> reiserfs vs ext3 - go!
[10:26] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, its adviced to make it 2x your ram
[10:26] <abcent> well last time i tried BSD it did! 8 years back ;(
[10:26] <V1k1ng> HoudiniMan,   then your linux partition should be ext 3 as they're saying
[10:26] <Mark761966> Don't forget to sudo before you apt-get mrh
[10:26] <HoudiniMan> I have 4GB ram - so 2GB or 8GB swap?
[10:26] <mrh> Ok
[10:26] <gordonjcp> abcent: that's funny, I've been using BSD for over a decade and I've never needed Windows
[10:26] <mosibfu> Kalamansi: yes but sending it from holland will take some time i think you will have it downloaded befor the cd is in :) you can always order cd's
[10:26] <V1k1ng> HoudiniMan,   lol, 8gb swap
[10:26] <V1k1ng> huge
[10:27] <artb1sh> ubuntu ubuntu
[10:27] <HoudiniMan> *shrug*
[10:27] <HoudiniMan> 4GB ram x 2 :P
[10:27] <frojnd> Guys, I have a huge problem. When I type in my login name and password gutsy needs about 3-5min to work properly, screen loads itself for 4min.... where is the hatch???  noone here from all users on this chan hasn't that problem or similar problem like me?
[10:27] <Kalamansi> mosibfu so your from holland dude?
[10:27] <Mark761966> I just remembered you can use sudo to open restricted files :)
[10:27] <HoudiniMan> What's the point of diminishing returns for swap? 2GB?
[10:27] <mosibfu> HoudiniMan: swap isnt supported more then 2 gB, so you will need 4 swap partitions if you want that much
[10:27] <V1k1ng> HoudiniMan,   that is a bunch of ram!
[10:27] <artb1sh> сноси всё нах
[10:27] <HoudiniMan> ohhh hahaha
[10:27] <HoudiniMan> i c, thanks mos
[10:27] <HoudiniMan> RAM is cheap viking!
[10:27] <HoudiniMan> lol
[10:27] <Mortice> frojnd: have you enabled desktop effects? I find that they make the load time longer, especially on older hardware.
[10:27] <mosibfu> Kalamansi: yes i am :D
[10:27] <gordonjcp> dude, if you have 8G of RAM, you don't need swap
[10:27] <abcent> it required min win95 from memory.... was the download install wrong?
[10:27] <V1k1ng> mosibfu,   lol!
[10:27] <HoudiniMan> 4GB ram
[10:27] <HoudiniMan> :P
[10:28] <HoudiniMan> so is reiserfs better than ext3?
[10:28] <mrh> Is there a way to repair Firefox instead of reinstalling?
[10:28] <gordonjcp> abcent: why would it need Win 95?
[10:28] <artb1sh> 6GB ram
[10:28] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, 2Gb you have a lot of ram.. I dont think you will even swap something
[10:28] <Mortice> !better | HoudiniMan
[10:28] <Mortice> erm, maybe it's !best
[10:28] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, but its better to make it
[10:28] <Mortice> !best | HoudiniMan
[10:28] <abcent> to run from :(
[10:28] <HoudiniMan> usiu - k
[10:28] <artb1sh> kill ram
[10:28] <ubotu> HoudiniMan: 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.
[10:28] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, for example if you plan to hibernate
[10:28] <mosibfu> !doesnt | Mortice
[10:28] <HoudiniMan> Mort- im not a programmer :(
[10:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about doesnt - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:28] <abcent> i don't know
[10:28] <Kalamansi> mosibfu dude do you know some software that could resume your download?just like download manager of windows?
[10:29] <HoudiniMan> I'm going to be using this as my main partition on a desktop system that stays on all the time
[10:29] <gordonjcp> abcent: er, no
[10:29] <HoudiniMan> I want it to be high performance as possible
[10:29] <Kalamansi> mosibfu  when i download ubuntu 7.10 its alwas corrupt.
[10:29] <HoudiniMan> Would that lend itself to reiserfs or ext3 in any way?
[10:29] <Mark761966> Can't mrh remove Firefox with Synaptic?
[10:29] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, I would chose reiserfs as its faster for small files
[10:29] <gordonjcp> abcent: the various BSDs are operating systems, they don't "run from Windows"
[10:29] <abcent> lol thanks for telling me now :)
[10:29] <V1k1ng> Kalamansi,   try downloading it via bittorrent
[10:29] <mosibfu> Kalamansi: i dont know, but i believe there are torrents of ubuntu
[10:29] <HoudiniMan> reiserfs it is :)
[10:29] <Mortice> HoudiniMan: not to spread FUD, but I've had serious problems with reiser and corruption. Also, you'll probably find more support for ext3 from ubuntu people.
[10:29] <mrh> Mark
[10:29] <mrh> I tried that
[10:29] <Mark761966> Ah
[10:29] <HoudiniMan> support is important to me
[10:30] <HoudiniMan> is support more widespread for ext3?
[10:30] <Mortice> HoudiniMan: but then, reiser would probably perform slightly better. It's all a tradeoff.
[10:30] <V1k1ng> ext3!!!
[10:30] <ere4si> reiserfs fragments lots
[10:30] <Kalamansi> V1k1ng how to install bittorent in ubuntu?
[10:30] <mrh> and it was supposedly removed, and when I reinstalled, it was as if I had never removed it
[10:30] <HoudiniMan> I'd like to go with the flow and tweak later
[10:30] <Mark761966> Did you remove all. mrh?
[10:30] <HoudiniMan> So I'm guessing ext3?
[10:30] <gordonjcp> ere4si: that's sort of the point
[10:30] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, yes ext3 for begginers
[10:30] <Mortice> HoudiniMan: ext3 is pretty solid
[10:30] <Myrtti> Kalamansi: you've already got it installed
[10:30] <HoudiniMan> Excellent, moving forward!
[10:31] <mrh> Mark76196: yes, I checked all the relevant packages after searching through synaptic
[10:31] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, and ext3 is much more tested
[10:31] <buttercups> mrh, just delete your .mozilla folder in your home directory, back up first what you need
[10:31] <V1k1ng> Kalamansi,  you should have a basic bittorrent client installed, but you can download azureus via synaptic if you want something fancy
[10:31] <HoudiniMan> Mount point \ Use as ext3 Primary localtion Begining
[10:31] <HoudiniMan> y/n?
[10:31] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, yes
[10:31] <mosibfu> NOO
[10:31] <V1k1ng> let her rip
[10:31] <V1k1ng> !
[10:31] <Kalamansi> Myrtti ktorrent?
[10:31] <mosibfu> HoudiniMan: it is /   and not \
[10:31] <HoudiniMan> lol
[10:31] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, its /
[10:31] <HoudiniMan> thanks
[10:31] <Mark761966> No, I mean did you use the "Mark for complete removal" option? mrh
[10:32] <V1k1ng> Kalamansi,   should just be "bittorrent"
[10:32] <mrh> Mark: yes I did
[10:32] <Mark761966> Okay
[10:32] <HoudiniMan> im confused on the begining/end thing - i shrank a 320GB NTFS partition
[10:32] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, Directory structure is /path/dir/home/ not like in windows c:\windows\
[10:32] <HoudiniMan> not sure if the space is in the begining or end
[10:32] <V1k1ng> Kalamansi,   unless you're in kubuntu???
[10:32] <mrh> and everything supposedly went well, removed
[10:32] <Mark761966> Would aptitude remove work?
[10:32] <Kalamansi> V1k1ng there is no bittorrent here.just ktorrent.im using ubuntu 7.04
[10:33] <mrh> Mark: not familiar with aptitude
[10:33] <V1k1ng> Kalamansi,   go to synaptic and get azureus, works way better
[10:33] <John_5> Mrh: If you're going to try BSD try the distribution PC-BSD
[10:33] <Mark761966> It's a teerminal command mrh
[10:33] <gordonjcp> mrh: what exactly is the problem?
[10:33] <mosibfu> HoudiniMan: it will always come at beginning/end of free space, so it doesnt matter that much, i figure you will fill it out totally at the end
[10:33] <Usiu> Kalamansi, check for torrent you wil find many torrent client programs
[10:33] <mrh> ok
[10:33] <Mark761966> sudo aptitude remove "program name" mrh
[10:33] <mrh> I figured going with the instructions would have solved
[10:33] <Usiu> Kalamansi, and chose the one you like, I suggest azureus
[10:33] <John_5> mrh: Nevermind what I said before I was reading something from 10 minutes ago
[10:33] <John_5> hehe
[10:34] <Mark761966> No quotes around the program name, mrh
[10:34] <HoudiniMan> so i made 50GB, should i make a 48GB ext3 and a 2GB swap parition?
[10:34] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, yes
[10:34] <HoudiniMan> ok
[10:34] <mikebeecham> : juhaz that being the case...where would I place metacity files?  Is there a specific place to put them?
[10:34] <mrh> John: I am considering desktopBSD
[10:34] <Mark761966> Try it
[10:34] <Mark761966> sudo aptitude remove firefox
[10:34] <mrh> ok
[10:34] <Usiu> mrh, men first learn GNU/Linux then switch to Unix :|
[10:35] <V1k1ng> what does bsd compare to in terms of user friendliness?
[10:35] <Mark761966> And if it's not remove it'll be uninstall
[10:35] <Usiu> V1k1ng, its not user friendly
[10:35] <lxuser_> hi
[10:35] <Usiu> V1k1ng, for begginers
[10:35] <abcent> Houdini you chose manual yes?
[10:35] <chandu_> Hi
[10:35] <lxuser_> I am new here
[10:35] <mrh> You know, I am not so much concerned with user friendliness - more like stability
[10:35] <buttercups> mrh, Synaptic will not remove your .mozilla folder, you have been told twice to delete it already
[10:35] <chandu_> On my dell optiplex 755 machine, I am not able to boot
[10:35] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, Right.
[10:35] <chandu_> Its giving CARDMGR[1904] error
[10:35] <mrh> right
[10:35] <John_5> BSD is rock solid
[10:35] <b1n42y> !mutlimedia
[10:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mutlimedia - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:35] <HoudiniMan> for swap: primary, end, swap y/n?
[10:35] <mrh> Jahn
[10:35] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, Did you choose manual partitioning ?
[10:36] <Mark761966> IS your Mozilla folder in your home directory?
[10:36] <b1n42y> !multimedia
[10:36] <ubotu> Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications
[10:36] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, or whole disc ?
[10:36] <HoudiniMan> Usiu, manual
[10:36] <lxuser_> can any one tell me if I can install Netbeans on Ubuntu
[10:36] <chandu_>  there are no card managers
[10:36] <Juhaz> mikebeecham, both should go in ~/.themes, usually you can also just drag the tarballs into the "appearance" preferences app, or use the install button in there.
[10:36] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, ok
[10:36] <Mark761966> Do you have view hidden files enabled?
[10:36] <chandu_> no card slots installed or configured
[10:36] <mrh> John, sorry, that is what I need - stability
[10:36] <HoudiniMan> for swap: primary, end, swap y/n?
[10:36] <chandu_>  please anyone give me some suggesstion, as it is hanging after that error, I am not able to go thru the logs
[10:36] <chandu_>  What may be the problem
[10:36] <mrh> Mark: No I don't
[10:36] <lxuser_> hello
[10:36] <mosibfu> HoudiniMan: that will do ye
[10:36] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, I wouldnt make primary for swap
[10:36] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, but it will do
[10:36] <Mark761966> Then that's the first thing you need to do, mrh
[10:36] <HoudiniMan> logical better?
[10:36] <Kalamansi> V1k1ng : which one here?azureus or azureus-gcj?
[10:37] <Mark761966> Open Nautilus and go to the view menu and enable view hidden files
[10:37] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, ok nevermind:) its ok
[10:37] <mrh> ok
[10:37] <b1n42y> !codecs
[10:37] <V1k1ng> Kalamansi,   azureus!
[10:37] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:37] <mosibfu> HoudiniMan: logical is not needed unless you want more then 4 partition
[10:37] <Mark761966> Now, you should be able to see your Mozilla folder
[10:37] <UltraNav> guessnet doesn't work for me at all: no output for any interface ... output from 'guessnet -vi [interface]' ends with 'none' - any suggestions ?
[10:37] <HoudiniMan> im confused on primary vs logical
[10:37] <eldenz> how much space does a common desktop system about use? with openoffice, gimp, eclipse etc installed... 10G?
[10:37] <HoudiniMan> i thought they were the same thing
[10:38] <mrh> Mike: I do
[10:38] <Kalamansi> V1k1ng  its great.thanks =)
[10:38] <John_5> Can anyone help me with this? My internet speed is 3x slower on Ubuntu than windows. I have disabled IPv6 and increased my window size in sysctl. Any suggestions?
[10:38] <V1k1ng> :D
[10:38] <Usiu> HoudiniMan, You can have only 4 primary I guess
[10:38] <abcent> Houdini... follow this TO THE LETTER .... http://apcmag.com.au/5046/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first
[10:38] <Mark761966> You can see the Mozilla folder now, mrh?
[10:38] <mrh> Mark: yes
[10:38] <Mark761966> Excelent
[10:38] <Mark761966> I ahve no idea what you shoudl do next
[10:38] <V1k1ng> John_5,   maybe your vid card drivers aren't installed?
[10:38] <mosibfu> HoudiniMan: you can have 4 primairy partitions max, or 3 primairy and 1 logical, the logical can contain 2 or more partitions on its own
[10:39] <Mortice> John_5: hmm, that sounds like an interesting one. are you connecting wirelessly?
[10:39] <HoudiniMan> abcent, that glazes over manual paritioning
[10:39] <Mark761966> Somebody tell mrh what to do now he can view his Mozilla folder
[10:39] <John_5> I am connecting through a wired network
[10:39] <mosibfu> omg lucky13
[10:39] <lucky13> mosibfu, what?
[10:39] <HoudiniMan> so for swap - primary or logical?
[10:39] <mosibfu> lucky13: that is the nickname i use in games
[10:39] <Kalamansi> anybody here whos millionare?can you please send me ubuntu 7.10 server edition please and desktop 7.10 edition please?the shipit ubuntu is too slow...i really need ubuntu server edition badly huhuhu..who's near with my place??philippines?
[10:39] <mosibfu> HoudiniMan: Primairy is best ;)
[10:39] <John_5> it is set to static IP address
[10:40] <abcent> yes, but it configures the partitions properly
[10:40] <Mortice> John_5: hmm. It could be an MTU issue or something, but I doubt it'd have that much effect. Sorry, maybe someone else will know.
[10:40] <lucky13> mosibfu, good tast mane
[10:40] <lucky13> man
[10:40] <mrh> See, that is the thing: one would think that following the instructions in the system, things would work.
[10:40] <V1k1ng> John_5,   sorry i misread your first post....but that is weird on a wired network
[10:40] <b1n42y> how do i fix this >  No suitable demux plugin. This often means that the file format is not supported.
[10:40] <b1n42y> http://mp3-vr-128.smgradio.com:80/
[10:40] <mosibfu> lucky13: feels like talking to myself.. very confusing (www.bananaskills.nl if i made you curious)
[10:40] <John_5> No probs
[10:40] <mrh> I went to add/remove
[10:40] <HoudiniMan> does anybody else recommend i backtrack and just let it "guided largest space"?
[10:40] <mrh> it said no, go to synaptic
[10:40] <John_5> I'll go read up on MTU
[10:40] <mrh> I go to synaptic
[10:40] <Mark761966> I want you to try something for me mrh. Make a copy of the Mozilla for me and then delete the original
[10:41] <abcent> all newly partitions are logical
[10:41] <Mark761966> Mozilla folder
[10:41] <mosibfu> HoudiniMan: nahh i think you are pretty much sorted now :)
[10:41] <HoudiniMan> k
[10:41] <mrh> Mark: ok man
[10:41] <V1k1ng> John_5,   I would have no idea what would cause that, usually linux runs well on wired connections
[10:41] <Mark761966> Did it let you delete it?
[10:41] <buttercups> mrh, 3rd time, delete the .mozilla folder, restart firefox and it will be recreated
[10:41] <HoudiniMan> sp primary 48GB ext3 mounted to / and 2GB primary swap at end
[10:41] <HoudiniMan> y/n?
[10:41] <razer> Hi, I want mp3 support for ubuntu gutsy gibbon with one click installation.
[10:41] <John_5> I know, maybe it's got something to do with my router.
[10:41] <V1k1ng> HoudiniMan,   sounds good
[10:42] <abcent> use the guided largest space ... i've just installed Ubuntu today ... no problems at all
[10:42] <mosibfu> HoudiniMan: yes, press next, hang tite for about 25/30 mins and your done :P
[10:42] <mrh> buttercups: that is not what you said earlier
[10:42] <razer> or 4 clicks or whatever..
[10:42] <John_5> but first I should try installing another distribution and try it out
[10:42] <buttercups> mrh, scroll up
[10:42] <Mark761966> Were you able to delete the Mozilla folder, mrh?
[10:42] <John_5> which distribution has the best netcode?
[10:42] <DirtyDawg> abcent i did a dual boot last night with whole disk guided on a 40gb and it went smooth
[10:42] <V1k1ng> John_5,   how did it work with the livecd??
[10:42] <HoudiniMan> Me and Klotski are chillin
[10:42] <abcent> I also hit the same question your asking ... my version is 7.10
[10:43] <mrh> The posts are scrolling too fast dammit
[10:43] <HoudiniMan> formatting...
[10:43] <John_5> Good idea V1k1ng
[10:43] <HoudiniMan> I think I played Klotski when I installed 6.x too
[10:43] <V1k1ng> John_5,   all the same in my opinion, that's why your problem is so weird
[10:43] <razer> I just installed ubuntu and there is no mp3 support and add/remove won't add it.
[10:43] <John_5> same netcode eh?
[10:43] <elrics_fate> razer
[10:43] <V1k1ng> razer:  yes it will!
[10:43] <Lifeisfunny> b1n42y, I get it to play in Rythymbox
[10:43] <bryan553> hello, i would like to know if ubuntu keep some terminal log file ?
[10:43] <elrics_fate> i suggest u get xmms
[10:44] <abcent> DirtyDawg: works a treat huh
[10:44] <elrics_fate> razer just get xmms
[10:44] <Mark761966> razer, google medibuntu
[10:44] <DirtyDawg> indeed, no probs at all mate
[10:44] <mosibfu> razer, click on applications => add/remove  and search for restricted   the ubuntu restricted extra's will install mp3 support and so on
[10:44] <mrh> "Invalid URI . . . " while copying
[10:44] <HoudiniMan> what is that "restricted" business about/
[10:44] <V1k1ng> razer:  just go to add/remove...enable all packages...and search for restricted drivers package
[10:45] <alch3mist> joystick calibration in ubuntu how to?
[10:45] <elrics_fate> #nicksetup
[10:45] <mosibfu> HoudiniMan: some codecs and so, have legal rights to them and are not open source, so not standard included in ubuntu :)
[10:45] <V1k1ng> HoudiniMan,   you gotta download codecs that can't be included on ubuntu
[10:45] <V1k1ng> what he said!
[10:45] <elrics_fate> yeh
[10:45] <Mark761966> Yo mrh, I opened up a provate chat
[10:45] <elrics_fate> there right mate
[10:45] <Mark761966> private
[10:45] <HoudiniMan> ahhh, so "restricted" = not same license
[10:46] <HoudiniMan> gotcha
[10:46] <John_5> I might try Debian, can it and Ubuntu share the same /home/ partition?
[10:46] <b1n42y> !demux
[10:46] <DirtyDawg> i installed debian before ubuntu, didnt like it so put in ubuntu
[10:46] <V1k1ng> I don't think so
[10:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about demux - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:46] <elrics_fate> u do know Ubuntu is base on debian rite
[10:46] <HoudiniMan> im gonna hit the shower, thanks for the help all
[10:46] <John_5> !debian
[10:46] <mrh> Mark: ok
[10:46] <ubotu> Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[10:47] <abcent> Got to love Linux .... best d/l speed under vista was 1.2mb/s .... ubuntu was 1.8mb/s :)
[10:47] <John_5> Abcent is lucky
[10:47] <V1k1ng> john_5,  try something a little faster like zenwalk
[10:47] <elrics_fate> i love linux to trying to get all my friends to switch over
[10:47] <gordonjcp> elrics_fate: hm
[10:47] <John_5> best speed under XP was 1.8 mb/s Ubuntu 300kbs
[10:47] <gordonjcp> elrics_fate: read much Michael Moorcock?
[10:47] <V1k1ng> John_5,   or pclinuxos or mepis
[10:48] <timothe> howdy, kids
[10:48] <abcent> John... huh?
[10:48] <Javid> are there any decent onscreen keyboards? all the ones I found suck peenor
[10:48] <V1k1ng> John_5,   it might be that ubuntu installed a crummy driver for your ethernet card
[10:48] <John_5> Ah
[10:48] <John_5> I'll check my ethernet card now
[10:48] <abcent> IPv6
[10:48] <John_5> I disabled IPv6
[10:49] <abcent> aha
[10:49] <Mortice> it sounds like a driver issue to me
[10:49] <abcent> enable
[10:49] <V1k1ng> my wirless sucks, what do i know?
[10:49] <Mark761966> mrh are you seeing another chat tab?
[10:49] <Mortice> i know that some of the wireless drivers are only able to make connections at 11Mbps, which is why I asked if it was a wireless card
[10:49] <Mortice> I can imagine similar issues with wired NICs.
[10:49] <mrh> Mark: no
[10:49] <V1k1ng> :D
[10:49] <Mark761966> Damn
[10:50] <buttercups> !tell mrh about register
[10:50] <Javid> how do I get ubuntu to recognize my wireless adapter and install the drivers for it? it did this automatically for my external card but the internal one won't
[10:50] <Mark761966> Okay. Did you delete the Mozilla folder, mrh?
[10:50] <mosibfu> !register | mhr
[10:50] <ubotu> mhr: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about  registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration
[10:50] <mrh> Mark, yes I did.
[10:50] <b1n42y> amarok is asking for demux plugin...help i need radio
[10:50] <mrh> and I restarted firefox
[10:50] <mosibfu> buttercups: see how it works? :P
[10:50] <Mark761966> Excellent. I was afraid it wouldn't let you
[10:50] <TAB-2112> Quick newbie-ish question. If I've installed the 32-bit version of ubuntu, but want the 64-bit version, are there any shortcuts to the re-install? I've finally got things the way I like and am not looking forward to re-work. I have both the relevant liveCDs
[10:50] <bazhang> Javid: what is the card?
[10:50] <mrh> and it began working
[10:50] <mrh> wow
[10:50] <zemonstas> hey all, my usb audio soundcard isn't being recognized by alsa - how do i set it up with modprobe?
[10:51] <Lifeisfunny> b1n42y, I get it to play in Rythymbox
[10:51] <buttercups> mosibfu, it works how i did it to ;)
[10:51] <mrh> Thanks Mark
[10:51] <Mark761966> What did I do?
[10:51] <mrh> Give me instructions
[10:51] <Javid> bazhang,  Intersil Corporation prism 2.5 Wavelan Chipset (rev 01)
[10:51] <V1k1ng> tab:  no, and frankly things aren't working so hot with the 64 bit version
[10:51] <Mark761966> And they worked?
[10:51] <mrh> and not get in my face and make fun like everyone else
[10:51] <V1k1ng> TAB-2112,   no, and frankly things aren't working so hot with the 64 bit version
[10:51] <Mark761966> =-O
[10:51] <mrh> Yes they did
[10:51] <b1n42y> Lifeisfunny: thanks i dont have time pi** fa** AROUND ATM SO oops ill do dat
[10:51] <bazhang> Javid: comfy with the command line?
[10:52] <mrh> I resent people getting in my face like that though, making fun
[10:52] <Mark761966> Okay. Do yourself a favour and empty the trash
[10:52] <Javid> bazhang, yes, if you know how to do this <3
[10:52] <mrh> ok
[10:52] <Javid> bazhang, lemme boot the thing up, I'm not on it
[10:52] <V1k1ng> does anyone else think linux mint is kind of crappy or just me?
[10:52] <bazhang> Javid: just checking..heh..we'll see about know how it to do it though :}
[10:52] <mrh> Anyway
[10:52] <abcent> TAB i pondered the same .... gave in to 32bit
[10:52] <TAB-2112> V1k1ng: I'm hearing that a bit. Is it anything significant to a low-level user (web, email, office packages, and some simple web-design stuff)?
[10:52] <mrh> Thanks everyone
[10:52] <Mark761966> So, no one even thought to make sure you had show hidden files enabled, mrh?
[10:53] <John_5> My motherboard is an NVidia chipset, so therefore an NVidia network card
[10:53] <mrh> Mark: no
[10:53] <bazhang> Javid: in the terminal what does ifconfig say--eth0 eth1, lo etc
[10:53] <Javid> one second
[10:53] <frojnd> where can I see log file from ubuntu reboot ??
[10:53] <V1k1ng> TAB-2112,   yeah, there is no flash plugin for webbrowsing!
[10:53] <mrh> Like I said before
[10:53] <Mark761966> Tsk tsk. Slackers
[10:53] <bazhang> Javid: no need to paste, just tell me
[10:53] <gordonjcp> V1k1ng: *all* operating systems are crappy, except VMS
[10:53] <Javid> bazhang, booting still
[10:53] <V1k1ng> gordonjcp,   LOL
[10:53] <abcent> TAB i've a serious high-end PC ... 32bit if great
[10:54] <mrh> I think I will try FreeBSD sometime in the near future, I like it when things work as they are supposed to, with very little surprises
[10:54] <mosibfu> gordonjcp: operating a computer without an operationg system, now that is crappy, so love ubuntu!! love it!! i tell u!
[10:54] <gordonjcp> mrh: lol, and you're trying FreeBSD?
[10:54] <mrh> and things are well documented
[10:54] <gordonjcp> mrh: good luck with that
[10:54] <gordonjcp> mosibfu: nah
[10:54] <Mark761966> I know this isn't strictly Ubuntu or Linux related, but does anyone know a good source of Pidgin smileys for Windows?
[10:54] <computer_Newbee> is mac os x any good compared to ubuntu?
[10:54] <Mark761966> I have a friend, see
[10:55] <mrh> gordon, I was reading the documentation just the other night, out of curiosity
[10:55] <gordonjcp> mosibfu: it's *easy*, assuming you've got either a proper front panel or a debugger
[10:55] <V1k1ng> TAB-2112,   I used to run 64 bit and mostly liked it but it's just not ready for prime time, especially if you're doing web dev
[10:55] <mrh> and I was pretty impressed
[10:55] <computer_Newbee> is mac open source?
[10:55] <Mark761966> No
[10:55] <John_5> nope
[10:55] <John_5> Darwin is though
[10:55] <computer_Newbee> oh
[10:55] <computer_Newbee> mac darwin?
[10:55] <John_5> yeah
[10:55] <computer_Newbee> i see
[10:55] <computer_Newbee> i will google
[10:55] <bazhang> is this #ubuntu or #ubuntu-offtopic?
[10:56] <computer_Newbee> thnx
[10:56] <abcent> I'm told you can d/l mac 10x and install on pc
[10:56] <frojnd> where can I see log file from ubuntu reboot ? because I get some note that network sensors fail ?? so what's the name of that kinda log, when ubuntu is starting before it gets to login screen ??
[10:56] <computer_Newbee> is darwin the only open source mac?
[10:56] <Mark761966> Pidgin. Smileys. Windows... Anyone?
[10:56] <V1k1ng> they've been figuring out how to install macOS on pc since they switched to intel
[10:56] <bazhang> !ot computer_Newbee
[10:56] <nalpha> guys from command prompt how to know the current DDR Ram Speed? PC2100/ PC2700 ??
[10:56] <V1k1ng> i think it's illegal tho
[10:56] <b1n42y> frojnd: i think its under one of those ttys....try alt + f1 f2 etc
[10:57] <b1n42y> f7 gets u back to X
[10:57] <abcent> it is viking
[10:57] <TAB-2112> V1k1ng: I'm not a huge flash user, but I imagine it'll dampen my time-wasting experience. How will I use all of those assorted facebook nonsense apps. I guess I'll stick with 32-bit.
[10:57] <TAB-2112> thanks.
[10:57] <computer_Newbee> ?
[10:57] <mrh> So, thank you all, I am exhausted, I tried everything before coming here, and I am not used to IRC . . . this scrolls way too fast for me
[10:57] <mrh> going to sleep
[10:57] <Mark761966> Night mrh
[10:58] <b1n42y> TAB-2112: plus apparently wine doesnt work under 64 ..although ive had steam installed on it
[10:58] <mosibfu> mrh: good night mate :)
[10:58] <V1k1ng> TAB-2112,   if you got your system set up, just relax...it's easy to get caught up in the next best thing  (i'm sitting next to 20 distro cds)
[10:58] <Lifeisfunny> b1n42y, to get it to play in Rythymbox... open file in the menubar and in click on import file (of course this is done after having saved the link 'listen.m3u')  and it should appear in the library section under 'radio' inside the side pane on the left.
[10:58] <Mark761966> Hope things are better tomorrow
[10:58] <frojnd> b1n42y, u mean ctrl alt f2
[10:58] <mrh> Night Mark, and thanks
[10:58] <twocarlo> cya mrh
[10:58] <Mark761966> You're welcome
[10:58] <onats> anyone have any idea as to the command to use in order for me to determine the ports that are active?
[10:58] <abcent> mrh .... take breath of fresh air and come back
[10:58] <b1n42y> frojnd: ya
[10:58] <frojnd> b1n42y, no there is nothing
[10:58] <frojnd> b1n42y, just if I wanna login
[10:58] <Jordan_U__> Security update for mplayer-doc? How can there be a vulnerability in documentation?
[10:58] <b1n42y> uve gone thru f1 - f6
[10:58] <frojnd> from f1 to f6
[10:59] <Mortice> onats: netstat with your choice of options. I don't know it too well, but netstat --help should let you know what it can do.
[10:59] <frojnd> b1n42y, yes
[10:59] <John_5> I am using an nForce network card and it's incredibly slow, any tips?
[10:59] <b1n42y> i read theres a log file somewhere but i cant remeber
[10:59] <onats> mortice.. yeah am trying that now.. i forgot this other command... argh
[10:59] <mosibfu> Jordan_U__: if the doc explains something dangerous that would figure heh
[10:59] <Mark761966> Has Enlightenment become a proper Desktop Environment, people?
[10:59] <onats> what port does the package manager use?
[10:59] <fyrestrtr> Mark761966: was it improper before?
[11:00] <onats> what port does the distribution upgrade use? anyone?
[11:00] <Mortice> onats: what, for downloading packages?
[11:00] <mosibfu> Mark761966: imho it hasnt, ive tried it few weeks ago, and its basically thesame to 5 years back on red-hat
[11:00] <b1n42y> Lifeisfunny: thanks...i can figure that out..wanted to use amarok looks better and appears as if theres more functionality
[11:00] <Mark761966> It was downright obscene, fyrestrtr :p
[11:00] <Mark761966> :D
[11:00] <onats> mortice, yeah.. i'm upgrading my ubuntu to gutsy... but the connection is slow on my network.. i think i need to tweak my QoS
[11:00] <fyrestrtr> Mark761966: then not much has changed.
[11:00] <Lifeisfunny> b1n42y, alrighty, I understand
[11:00] <Mortice> onats: it downloads over port 80, since it's http
[11:00] <Mark761966> Hee hee
[11:00] <Mark761966> I like XFCE
[11:00] <fyrestrtr> Mark761966: it still causes one to say things best not said in polite company.
[11:00] <b1n42y> anyhow.....back to resume writing
[11:00] <mosibfu> Mark761966: but i can say, that female voice from enlightnment.. woah.. it pushes my buttons
[11:00] <Mark761966> It's a perfect fit with my system
[11:00] <onats> mortice, ok, somethings wrong with my QoS then
[11:01] <b1n42y> Lifeisfunny: :D
[11:01] <onats> thanks for the info
[11:01] <Jordan_U__> Mark761966, You might want to look at GOS
[11:01] <onats> mortice, are you on 7.10 already?
[11:01] <onats> i'm wondering if it has better hibernate and suspend support
[11:01] <Mark761966> The one that's in those WalMart PCs, Jordan?
[11:02] <Jordan_U__> Mark761966, Yes, not as much suggesting you use it but more just look at their enlightenment theme
[11:02] <b1n42y> I LOVE LINUX....winblows....pass it on
[11:02] <ere4si> computer_Newbee: yellow dog linux for the ppc mac
[11:02] <Mark761966> I'd like to, but I need to get a CD burner
[11:03] <onats> anyone here on gutsy and using a laptop?
[11:03] <bazhang> yes
[11:03] <Mark761966> Talking of gOS (small g people), does anyone know which docks work in the XFCE environment?

[11:10] <Jordan_U__> computer_Newbee, You are either going to get the PPC version or the regular x86 version that PC's use
[11:10] <Nom-> I have a bizarre problem... I can't move any windows for some reason
[11:10] <Jordan_U__> computer_Newbee, Depending on what model hardware you have
[11:10] <Nom-> I can resize them, close them, but just not drag them around :/
[11:10] <Mark761966> What don't you like about OS X, computer_Newbee?
[11:10] <computer_Newbee> jordan, what do u mean?
[11:10] <javid> grah. who was helping me with my wireless? x.x
[11:11] <computer_Newbee> mark, doesnt matter right now
[11:11] <Mark761966> Hey, can I use gDebi to install Virtual Box, JOrdan?
[11:11] <HoudiniMan> i installed the art gnome package but i can't find the program?
[11:11] <Jordan_U__> computer_Newbee, Apple's older computers used PPC proccessors, the newer ones use intel x86 proccessors, just like all other PC's use
[11:11] <computer_Newbee> os x dont matter right now :)
[11:11] <Jordan_U__> Mark761966, Yes
[11:11] <Mark761966> Excelent

[11:12] <computer_Newbee> ?
[11:12] <alch3mist> ubuntu cola and debian fanta
[11:12] <Mark761966> There's a usb Ubuntu key?
[11:12]  * nanonyme grumbles that his ibook (ppc) still doesn't have working opengl or wifi
[11:12] <bazhang> computer_Newbee: sure
[11:12] <V1k1ng> you can install ubuntu into a usb stick, sure
[11:13] <computer_Newbee> how do i access the boot menu thingie for mac os x based pc?
[11:13] <HoudiniMan> found art manager :P
[11:13]  * Jordan_U__ thinks that nanonyme just needs to grab the firmware for his broadcom card
[11:13] <nanonyme> Jordan_U__, you mean bcm43xx? doesn't work for me
[11:13] <b1n42y> Mark761966: they mean USB key....
[11:13] <Jordan_U__> computer_Newbee, Hold down option at boot
[11:13] <bazhang> computer_Newbee: check out pendrivelinux dot com
[11:13] <nanonyme> Jordan_U__, it grabs the firmware automatically
[11:13] <nanonyme> it's just broken :P
[11:14] <Jordan_U__> nanonyme, What version of Ubuntu?
[11:14] <nanonyme> 7.10
[11:14] <Mark761966> You need a key for USB? :/
[11:14] <Jordan_U__> nanonyme, Do you know the exact chipset?
[11:14] <nanonyme> Jordan_U__, scanning for wifi's works, joining wireless networks (with or without encryption) doens't
[11:14] <V1k1ng> i have mint 4.0 installed on my usb drive
[11:14] <nanonyme> doesn't even
[11:14] <nanonyme> Jordan_U__, bcm4318 iirc
[11:14] <nanonyme> i'm not at home atm so i can't check
[11:15] <bazhang> that card is well supported now afaik
[11:15] <Mark761966> :-/
[11:15] <Mark761966> :?
[11:15] <nanonyme> bazhang, well supported on x86 doesn't necessarily mean well supported on ppc :)
[11:15] <Mark761966> I can't find my confused face :(
[11:16] <bazhang> nanonyme: true--gutsy on ppc? or feisty
[11:16] <Jordan_U__> nanonyme, In this case it does, but 4318 isn't well supported on x86 either :)
[11:16] <nanonyme> bazhang, gutsy
[11:16] <javid> how can i rightclick with a one button mouse?
[11:16] <b1n42y> Mark761966: no its just a USB storage device the size of your finger
[11:17] <Jordan_U__> nanonyme, You should be able to connect though, have you tried connecting with iwconfig?
[11:17] <Mark761966> Ah right. The good old thumb drive
[11:17] <Nom-> Ok, has anyone seen a problem where all the text on a terminal window is flickering when switching between terminals ?
[11:17] <bazhang> nanonyme: I had it going under feisty on a powerbook with similar specs, never tried opengl however
[11:17] <nanonyme> Jordan_U__, it says device not ready or something similar when i dmesg after trying to conenct
[11:17] <nanonyme> connect even
[11:17] <b1n42y> Mark761966: i was getting worried there......thought u might be an alien or something
[11:17] <computer_Newbee> how do i boot my mac os x with my ubunntu on usb key?
[11:17] <abcent> yes thumb drive :D ... women love it!!! haha
[11:17] <Mark761966> I just finished installing virtual box, Jordan
[11:17] <nanonyme> bazhang, the free ati driver doesn't support accelerated opengl for my ati mobility card so meh :P
[11:18] <alch3mist> computer_Newbee hold option key then select a bood drive
[11:18] <Jordan_U__> computer_Newbee, Plug in the USB key and boot the computer while holding down the option key
[11:18] <alch3mist> *boot
[11:18] <computer_Newbee> cool
[11:18] <computer_Newbee> i will try
[11:18] <gsuveg> re
[11:19] <alch3mist> computer_Newbee : just make sure your usb drive is bootable
[11:19] <nanonyme> bazhang, that is, opengl runs but is extremely slow
[11:19] <Mark761966> I'm now running virtual box, Jordan
[11:19] <Mark761966> And a commentary :D
[11:19] <jmazaredo> is there problem on repositories of 7.10
[11:19] <bazhang> nanonyme: I hear you--my powerbook is 7 years old
[11:19] <abcent> good point alch3mist
[11:19] <computer_Newbee> ! :)
[11:20] <nanonyme> bazhang, it should be just fine if the gpu supported accelerated opengl though
[11:20] <Mark761966> I have just registered as a user of virtual box
[11:20] <nanonyme> the osx driver did :/
[11:20] <bazhang> nanonyme: true--never tried it though--had to give leopard a shot ;}
[11:20] <nanonyme> heh
[11:21] <Mark761966> I need to go shopping
[11:21] <Mark761966> I'll be back later
[11:21] <Mark761966> Probably
[11:21] <Mark761966> Bye for now
[11:21] <boysdontcry> how do u enable sse ?
[11:21] <bullgard4> bazhang: ping
[11:22] <TAB-2112> I'm having trouble finding something. I've decided I prefer KDE. If I used the standard Ubuntu installation CD, can I use the simpler "aptitude remove" command to remove GNOME, or do I have to remove packages one-by-one? Because the installation was relatively invisible, I'm not sure to find out which method it was installed by.
[11:22] <boysdontcry> wait wrong

[11:22] <Ademan> anyone know what might be up?  I've got a computer with a Sis 6318 or something like that in it (old old old) using the vesa driver, and glxgears is reporting around 100fps, and yet what I see looks to be <1fps.  Occasionally when I first start glxgears it will be smooth, and actually look like it's running at the fps it's reporting,but after that, the framerate I see is far far far below what it's reporting...

[11:22] <Cryx> Hey! I have a problem, i need to make script that checks if some daemon is up, and if it isnt it starts it up... The hard part of this is that the daemon itselfs prompts for password and username, i would have to make script to tell them for daemon.. is this even possible?

[11:25] <boysdontcry> Cryx : webmin has this options to select what service to start at boot...
[11:25] <_dac_> okay thank you...
  : mine too.. sound reappeared after installation
[11:26] <Cryx> yeah, but the problem isnt with startup. It comes when the program exceeds the timeout of it, and the timeout cannot be increased more than it is now.
[11:26] <nanonyme> it might partly work on some computers but it's not guaranteed

I've decided I prefer KDE. If I used the standard Ubuntu installation CD, can I use the simpler "aptitude remove" command to remove GNOME, or do I have to remove packages one-by-one? Because the

[11:33] <computer_Newbee> holding down option key dont work

[11:42] <computer_Newbee> lol
[11:42] <pfwdtech> Im having some problems getting rtorrent to work.  It keeps saysing that libcurl3 is not metting the depencies any oone know what i should do?
[11:42] <TAB-2112> bazhang: The only one I'm particularly enamoured with is synaptic to my knowledge, but I can re-install any that I regret removing later, yes?
[11:42] <boysdontcry> computer_Newbee : im guessing you can only boot externally using apple's hfs+ partion
[11:42] <computer_Newbee> man this is sweet dude

[11:44] <saftle> have a quick question. how do I make a seperate login for aiglx and the mode that allows me to run full 3d acceleration? want to at least have both modes available until a newer ati driver comes out.
[11:44] <mosibfu> saftle: you cant, those driver parameters are loaded at boot, and have nothing to do with logins/users
 : you can make a sript in the xsession
[11:45] <pfwdtech> ok will give it a go.  Ive been using apt-get and it says i already have it
[11:45] <bazhang> TAB-2112: indeed you can
[11:45] <TAB-2112> bazhang: Wonderful. Thanks.
[11:45] <saftle> boysdontcry: yeah I figured as much, would probably just require removing aiglx and compiz in the xorg.conf. know a way to make a script like that?
[11:45] <bazhang> TAB-2112: be sure to join #kubuntu as well :}
[11:47] <saftle> boysdontcry: I use ubuntu 7.10 btw.
[11:47] <pfwdtech> I tried but with no luck : libcurl3-gnutls-dev:

[11:48] <mosibfu> saftle: 2 scripts are needed, one make it like aiglx.sh that does: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.aiglx /etc/X11/xorg.conf, other script: 3d.sh that does: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.3d /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:49] <mosibfu> saftle: i could script that up for you, including a gdm restart, all you would have to do is make the configs
[11:49] <saftle> mosibfu, boysdontcry: thx alot guys, will try it out, not too sure if I know how to make the scripts however, :D

[11:51] <ricanelite> what do i need to do? can it be because i have the desktop effects on?
[11:51] <ricanelite> or do i need to enable something? i have enable restricted drivers

[12:03] <computer_Newbee> convert
[12:03] <computer_Newbee> *
[12:03] <Nom-> mosibfu: I just did that to change the SFR/AFR option...
[12:03] <brobostigon> find out for us, either what cou it has, or which model it is, otherwise it will be impossible to tell you which ubuntu to use.
[12:03] <computer_Newbee> so how do i convert it to ubuntu
[12:03] <mosibfu> Nom-: you can also try the AA option, but that doesnt add any noticable preformance for SLI
[12:04] <computer_Newbee> please help
[12:04] <HuibertGill> computer_Newbee: is there some kind of "About Computer" info thingy, and does it say anything about a INtel CPU?
[12:04] <computer_Newbee> ok i will look around

[12:10] <brobostigon> compuiter_newbee, i think you will need x86 ubuntu
[12:10] <HuibertGill> computer_Newbee: AFAIK you need the 'normal' intel X86 'windows machines' version
[12:10] <mosibfu> saftle: just be careful, the config switcher will restart gnome, so any unsaved changes in the GUI will be lsot :P
[12:10] <saftle> mosibfu: hmmm, kk, will give it a shot, if it works or if it doesn't, I'll come back and tell you.
[12:10] <mizz> hi can someoone please help me I am having trouble with my usb drive, it has 2 partitions, but only the 2nd one seems to mount automatically, although it used to mount both
[12:11] <mosibfu> saftle: ok mate, all u need to do is make the proper configs for each of your settings, thats all now ;) (as stated in the readme)
[12:11] <computer_Newbee> well my cd is x86 and it didnt work, so maybe 64 bit will work?
[12:11] <mizz> noo computer_Newbee that is for amd
[12:11] <padski> my mouse is a bit sensitive, how do I adjust that ?
[12:11] <computer_Newbee> nevermind
 computer_Newbee: get the regular 32bit version... or 64 bit if you really want it
[12:12] <Pici> mizz: computer_Newbee: No. The AMD64 CD will work on any computer that is EMT64 compatible, which includes most 64bit Intel cards
[12:12] <jon_> how to password protect pcks digital signature file (7.10 FF 2.0.0.8) ?
[12:12] <mizz> padski, in system/preferences/mouse
[12:12] <Jangari> system > prefs > mouse, you want 'acceleration'
[12:12] <Jangari> turn it down, but not too much, it's sensitive
[12:12] <Slart> computer_Newbee: huh?
[12:13] <mizz> oh ok sorry pici will it work in my intel coreduo then
[12:13] <computer_Newbee> slart, its a quote from u
 computer_Newbee: get the regular 32bit version... or 64 bit if you really want it
[12:13] <Slart> computer_Newbee: yes.. you had a question about it?
[12:13] <mosibfu> Jangari, in gutsy you can put acceleration down all the way, its not as problematic as feisty
[12:14] <Jangari> as fas as i can tell, acceleration is basically 'speed' (a misnomer really)
[12:14] <computer_Newbee> my mac os x runs has intel core duo
[12:14] <Jangari> down all the way would be the slowest
[12:14] <subpar> anyone wanna help me with some wireless problems? I've tried installing the drivers with ndiswrapper, which didn't work, and that's the extent of my knowledge
[12:14] <computer_Newbee> my mac os x has intel core duo
[12:14] <Jangari> anyone help me out with synaptic manager?
[12:14] <computer_Newbee> ok i found out that my mac os x has the processor intel core dua. so what version of ubuntu should i download? Sun UltraSPARC based?
[12:14] <Jangari> will it work behind a firewall that blocks all external non-http servers?
[12:14] <computer_Newbee> ok i found out that my mac os x has the processor intel core duo. so what version of ubuntu should i download? Sun UltraSPARC based?
[12:14] <padski> mizz, thanks
[12:14] <computer_Newbee> sorry
[12:14] <brobostigon> x86 computer_newbee
[12:14] <mosibfu> sensitivity is speed, acceleration is it will go faster, if u move ur mouse faster (move mouse 2x faster, acceleration will make cursor go 4x.. making it fast, but when u move slow maintaining acuracy)
[12:14] <aguitel> Jangari: what up?
[12:15] <brobostigon> 32bit
[12:15] <ubuntufreak> How to install tremulous in Ubuntu 7.10
[12:15] <Slart> computer_Newbee: get the x86 one.. "Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)
[12:15] <Jangari> aguitel: i had trouble today with a fresh install of ubuntu, installing software behind a firewall, synaptic couldn't communicate with any of the servers
[12:15] <criXtiano> please, can someone help me ? please?
[12:15] <computer_Newbee> i get error screen when booting ubuntu with my mac pc. mac os x 10.4
[12:15] <Jangari> but looking at the details, it seems they're http servers,
[12:16] <Jangari> so they should be allowed by the firewall
[12:16] <mizz> Jangari, u set the dns right?
[12:16] <Slart> computer_Newbee: and you'll probably want v7.10 Desktop edition
[12:16] <HuibertGill> computer_Newbee: what kind of error
[12:16] <Pici> !mac | computer_Newbee
[12:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mac - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:16] <Jangari> well, my browser and email were working
[12:16] <Pici> ...
[12:16] <Jangari> and i had the right proxy on
[12:16] <aguitel> Jangari: do you need to enable all repo in synaptic
[12:16] <Jangari> in system, prefs, proxy, that is
[12:16] <computer_Newbee> i think it is display screen issue
[12:16] <Jangari> no i tried all that,
[12:16] <computer_Newbee> maybe video card
[12:17] <computer_Newbee> i try to boot safe graphics mode but that wont work either
[12:17] <Jangari> now i have roaming enabled (not behind the firewall though) and it worked fine
[12:17] <Slart> computer_Newbee: what kind of hardware is in your computer? graphics card?
[12:17] <mizz> Jangari, idk why but when i installed gutsy i set the dns to use my routers dns and my browser n stuff worked. but synaptic did not, until i set the dns to the dns server instead of the router
[12:17] <Jangari> that's the reason i brought the machine home, to download all the software i needed for work
[12:17] <computer_Newbee> ubuntu screen stqarts and all but never ends up starting up completely
[12:18] <subpar> anyone wanna help me with some wireless problems? I've tried installing the drivers with ndiswrapper, which didn't work, and that's the extent of my knowledge
[12:18] <computer_Newbee> i dont know, how do i check that?
[12:18] <Jangari> yeah, it's complicated, subpar
[12:18] <subpar> very complicated
[12:18] <subpar> my roomate gave me his old laptop, and it works amazing with ubuntu... minus wireless
[12:18] <Jangari> installing the drivers didn't work?
[12:18] <subpar> nope
[12:19] <subpar> when I go to network-admin it doesn't see a wireless interface
[12:19] <Jangari> sudo ndiswrapper -i /directory/of/driver.inf? or something? (case sensitive)
[12:19] <subpar> yeah
[12:19] <subpar> then i did ndiswrapper -l to make sure it installed
[12:19] <subpar> it said it was installed fine
[12:19] <Jangari> tried ndiswrapper -l to see if it's listed?
[12:19] <subpar> then sudo ndiswrapper -m
[12:19] <Jangari> ah
[12:19] <Jangari> right
[12:19] <subpar> yeah it is
[12:20] <Slart> computer_Newbee: hmm.. if you had ubuntu running I could tell you.. =)... I guess I was hoping you remembered from when you bought the computer..
[12:20] <subpar> after that, i rebooted, and still nothing
[12:20] <mizz> hi can someoone please help me I am having trouble with my usb drive, it has 2 partitions, but only the 2nd one seems to mount automatically, although it used to mount both
[12:20] <Jangari> did you follow the instructions on the ubuntu forum page? they're pretty concise, but i needed extra help
[12:20] <Teknomancer> can someone please paste me their GRUB menu.list file please???  I did not install the bootloader and i get some strange error when Ubuntu boots.
[12:20] <subpar> well I followed one of them...
[12:20] <Jangari> can you manually mount it, mizz?
[12:21] <DamienCassou> hi
[12:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Teknomancer: the odds of theirs working for you is not good
[12:21] <subpar> I think I'm just gonna do a fresh reinstall and try again... I've done a lot of things to it
[12:21] <subpar> hopefully I won't be back later :)
[12:21] <Teknomancer> Jack_Sparrow:  yes i'm aware of hte partition numbers
[12:21] <Teknomancer> Jack_Sparrow:  i just want to see if it matches my old Debian /initrd etc
[12:21] <mizz> Jangari,  i dont know how
[12:21] <mizz> !mount
[12:21] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[12:22] <mizz> dohh
[12:22] <DamienCassou> the gnome bars on my screen are smaller than the screen size. The bottom bar is not on the bottom of the screen. I have a monitor plugged on my laptop. Can somebody help me ? It's a brand new gutsy installation
[12:22] <Teknomancer> Jack_Sparrow:  because i had debian in that partition and installed ubuntu and booted ubuntu without changing menu.lst
[12:23] <maxb> Is there any way to configure apt-get to respond to http authentication challenges?
[12:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Teknomancer: I have feisty on this box so that probably wont help you
[12:23] <Jangari> DamienCassou: what's past the panels?
[12:24] <Jangari> i.e., is it a screen resolution issue?
[12:24] <Teknomancer> Jack_Sparrow: oh here is how the existing menu.lst for Ubuntu looks like, it says Debian but its ubuntu. (pasting only the entry) http://phpfi.com/277520
[12:24] <Jack_Sparrow> maxb: are you using any non standard repos?
[12:25] <maxb> We have a corporate repository accessible without auth from trusted IPs. I'm wondering if it can be made visible with a password for people working remotely
[12:25] <maxb> Or whether VPN technology will be required for that. Which is a possible solution, though slightly heavyweight
[12:25] <brobostigon> computer_newbee, are you american by chance??
[12:26] <Teknomancer> the reason i chose NOT to allow ubuntu to write its bootloader is because my work requires me to have Solaris (which installs its own modified Grub, which i'm sure can boot ubuntu and i need to use that one)
[12:26] <DamienCassou> Jangari: you can move windows around
[12:26] <atlfalcons866> does ubuntu use ACL POSIX AND EXTENTED ATTRIBUTES
[12:26] <DamienCassou> Jangari: only the bars are too small
[12:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Teknomancer: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45220/        is my full version
[12:26]  * N3bunel zback
[12:26] <Teknomancer> Jack_Sparrow:  thanks
[12:26] <mizz> Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action:
[12:26] <jrib> atlfalcons866: if you enable the mount option, sure
[12:27] <atlfalcons866> i use jfs
[12:27] <mizz> ughhhhh i dont know how to do it
[12:27] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[12:27] <habit> Good day. $ play command is not aviabile @ ubuntu. What I can found for replacing it?
[12:27] <Teknomancer> Jack_Sparrow:  can you just check whether there is a link called "vmlinuz" in /boot of your existing install?
[12:28] <jrib> atlfalcons866: check 'man mount'.  I have used the 'acl' option for ext3 with no problem in ubuntu
[12:28] <jrib> habit: aplay?
[12:28] <bullgard4> How can I install the applet of the gnome-power-manager?
[12:28] <atlfalcons866> jrib: will that work for journaled file system (JFS)?
[12:28] <rtl8139> habit: if you just need a .wav player, use aplay
[12:28] <Teknomancer> Jack_Sparrow:  and whethere there is a link named "initrd.img"  in /boot
[12:28] <jrib> atlfalcons866: I don't know, you have to read 'man mount'
[12:28] <computer_Newbee> how do i find out what video card i have with mac os x 10.4? ubuntu seems to fail when i boot from cd.
[12:28] <atlfalcons866> k
[12:28] <Jangari> quick question, i need the terminal command to copy a folder and all its contents into the /usr/share directory, for which i need su privileges,
[12:28] <Pici> habit: also `play` is in the sox package, if you really need that
[12:29] <habit> jrib: rtl8139: Pici: Thanks you very much!
[12:29] <sergiu> hi
[12:29] <sergiu> ubuntu server 7.10 is in beta stage?
[12:29] <jrib> atlfalcons866: or maybe jfs always uses acl, did you try setting an acl?
[12:29] <computer_Newbee> sergiu, NO
[12:30] <sergiu> i need to make a fileserver and i don`t know if i can use safe ubuntu 7.10 server
[12:30] <frague> hi all
[12:30] <atlfalcons866> yes it does use it
[12:30] <mattfletcher> where can i find an up to date (ie gutsy) guide to installing a LTSP set up on ubuntu server. i've googled, but keep coming up with 5.10 guides and the like
[12:30] <frague> ubuntu server is a good file server
[12:30] <primary> Hello. Is there any way to stop Ubuntu from "forcing" a diskcheck every 33 or or so times I start my computer?
[12:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Teknomancer: It looks like I have, but my kernel revisin number is added to it
[12:30] <sergiu> why should i use n7.10 and not 7.04?
[12:31] <jrib> primary: sure, use tune2fs to change how often it happens
[12:31] <Pici> !away > XyClone[AWAY] (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[12:31] <aguitel> anyone know how install leopard in gutsy ?
[12:31] <Pici> sergiu: 7.10 has more up to date programs than 7.04 does.
[12:31] <jrib> !virtualizers > aguitel (read the private message from ubotu)
[12:31] <primary> jrib: Thanks :)
[12:31] <Jack_Sparrow> primary: It is set to check every 28 days or when it sees a possible problem or incorrect shutdown.  the 28 days is user setable.
[12:31] <mizz> hi can someoone please help me I am having trouble with my usb drive, it has 2 partitions, but only the 2nd one seems to mount automatically, although it used to mount both
[12:31] <Teknomancer> Jack_Sparrow:  but there has got to be a link named just "initrd" and "vmlinuz" without the version numbers.. or is that in "/" could u check? because the idea is it links to your specific kernel version
[12:31] <sergiu> ok, thanks
[12:31] <sergiu> any other alternative to webmin?
[12:32] <HuibertGill> mizz: can you mount the first manualy
[12:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Teknomancer: those links are in root
[12:32] <Teknomancer> Jack_Sparrow:  ah so you have links named "initrd" and "vmlinuz" (WITHOUT the version numbers in /boot) ? right ?
[12:33] <frague> Hi, I have a stability problem with my 7.10 : screen freezes, mouse continue working, no way to restart X (Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace) or switch to another console (Ctrl+Alt+F1)
[12:33] <Teknomancer> sorry /root
[12:34] <frague> I have to reset the box to continue working with it...
[12:34] <mizz> HuibertGill, i am not really sure how to do it right, i try "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/320g" but it says this http://pastebin.com/d462bd35a . i try unplugging it, and rebooting, still the same
[12:34] <DamienCassou> the gnome bars on my screen are smaller than the screen size. The bottom bar is not on the bottom of the screen. I have a monitor plugged on my laptop. Can somebody help me ? It's a brand new gutsy installation. this is not a resolution problem because I can move the windows everywhere. Only the panels cause problems
[12:34] <DamienCassou> can somebody help me?
[12:34] <subpar> ok so even though I was just in here complaining about wireless, I'm now on my other computer which just finished updating to gutsy
[12:34] <mattfletcher> where can i find an up to date (ie gutsy) guide to installing a LTSP set up on ubuntu server. i've googled, but keep coming up with 5.10 guides and the like

[12:37] <ricanelite> if anyone is having trouble getting a geforce graphics card working right with playing World of Warcraft make sure you have the latest drivers which is 100.4 and then remove xserver.org in the terminal and when you type in glxinfo | grep direct it should say rendering: yes
[12:38] <Lord_Illidan> Hi, has anyone tried Firefox 3 Beta 1 in Gutsy yet?
[12:40] <saftle> mosibfu: well, :P didn't really work.
[12:41] <arinomi> How do I eject a CD-ROM as root? -_-
[12:41] <pfwdtech> Nope but i've read reviws onthe new bookmarking/fav
[12:41] <cofeineSunshine1> arinomi, eject
[12:41] <mosibfu> saftle: get your /var/log/xorg.log and ill try to debug it
[12:41] <mosibfu> saftle: did either of the configs work?
[12:42] <subpar> was firefox supposed to stop working after upgrading?
[12:42] <ricanelite> i have Lord_Illidan and it is okay
[12:42] <ricanelite> opens faster but so far still have not really notice a BIG difference
[12:42] <saftle> mosibfu: well there was a typo at first, a / missing before etc on both scripts, I changed that, but after trying the 3d one, since i already had aiglx running, it said gmd is already on display 0, and then hung up, and then after restart I was in low graphics mode, and had to switch to my backup conf
[12:43] <Lord_Illidan> ricanelite, I am getting very aliased fonts
[12:43] <Lord_Illidan> and this error : (gecko:26917): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output. shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='Arial 0', text='English Hello'
[12:44] <ricanelite> umm
[12:44] <Lord_Illidan> do you have similar issues?
[12:44] <ricanelite> when you open your package manager
[12:44] <ricanelite> did you see any other files to install that will be fonts?
[12:44] <ricanelite> because i don't have a problem like that
[12:44] <raddy> Hello Everybody
[12:44] <Lord_Illidan> Ubuntu's firefox build is fine..all the other apps on my system are fine, it's just firefox beta that gives me this problem
[12:44] <ricanelite> but then again I have not really been using Firefox 3
[12:44] <Lord_Illidan> And I didn't install it from the package manager
[12:44] <saftle> mosibfu: accept send please. or maybe my firewall is blocking me from sending you log.
[12:45] <mosibfu> saftle: weird.. it shuld stop GDM befor changing anything
[12:45] <frague_> hi all
[12:45] <ricanelite> well i will do that install it from the package manager
[12:45] <raddy> Anybody know where can i download firefox 3 beta1 ubuntu package?
[12:45] <Pici> Lord_Illidan: file a bug on mozilla bugzilla
[12:45] <ricanelite> and see what happens
[12:45] <mosibfu> saftle: i have the DCC port blocked on mine, try mailing @ mosibfu@gmail.com
[12:45] <ricanelite> you could get it from the Package Manager
[12:45] <saftle> kk
[12:45] <Asperitas> hello, I'm trying to run ubuntu from the live cd but after the first menu (where I choose for "start or install ubuntu from cd") I get a statusbar saying "starting linux kernel", and after that I get a few more lines of text on the screen for just a second and then my screen turns black. How can I install ubuntu if this keeps occuring? The CD is allright though, I can run it at another computer perfectly fine.
[12:45] <Pici> raddy: ricanelite: iirc, FF3 in the repos is one of the alphas.
[12:45] <frague__> hi all
[12:46] <raddy> Pici: i am asking about the beta1 release
[12:46] <Pici> raddy: I know.
[12:46] <ricanelite> Firefox 3 beta is label in the package manager "Epiphany-Browser" which is Mozilla's Code name
[12:47] <ricanelite> yeah
[12:47] <Pici> ricanelite: Stop.
[12:47] <ricanelite> ???
[12:47] <Pici> ricanelite: Either you really don't know what you're talking about, or you're trolling. either way, stop.
[12:47] <IdleOne> ricanelite: giving out bad info is really not cool and not tolerated especially if it appears you are doing iton purpose
[12:48] <ricanelite> well they were asking me where to get Firefox and i told them it was on the Package Manager
[12:48] <Lord_Illidan> I know the difference between Epiphany and Firefox, too
[12:48] <raddy> ricanelite : yup, you are completely wrong
[12:48] <masin> hello all
[12:48] <jrib> raddy: you could grab the binary tarball and install to /opt if you wanted.  If they don't provide one, you would have to compile it.  Ubuntu is meant to be a stable system, so you won't see it in the Gutsy repositories
[12:48] <frague__> I've a stability problem : sometines my screen freezes, mouse continue working, but nothing works on screen, and no way to restart X
[12:49] <ricanelite> im looking at my Package Manager right now and Firefox-3.0 is listed there
[12:49] <ikonia> frague__: crtl+alt+backspace not restart
[12:49] <mizz> nautilus has trouble handling a folder with 10,000 mp3s, is there a better file manager i can use
[12:49] <jrib> ricanelite: what package?
[12:49] <IdleOne> Lord_Illidan: you can try asking for help in #ubuntu-mozillateam
[12:49] <ricanelite> firefox-3.0
[12:49] <Pici> ricanelite: check the version number on that. In addition epiphany-browser is NOT firefox
[12:49] <saftle> mosibfu: kk, just now sent.
[12:49] <frague__> ikonia : no, it doen't restart X
[12:49] <raddy> jrib: but, somebody will surely provide a package
[12:49] <saftle> brb, going to retry scripts.
[12:49] <ikonia> frague__: does that mean your keyboard has also hung ?
[12:49] <jrib> ricanelite: not beta1
[12:50] <frague__> ikonia : Yes
[12:50] <masin> does anyone know how evolution stores address books?
[12:50] <jrib> raddy: maybe, maybe not
[12:50] <ricanelite> oo okay then, Well they were asking for Firefox 3.0 so I was just telling them it was on the Package Manager
[12:50] <Asperitas> can someone help me with my installation? it won't work even before I run ubuntu on my live cd.
[12:50] <frague__> ikonia : when I push Caps-Lock, led doesn't blink
[12:51] <raddy> ricanelite : yup, but it is not called epiphany
[12:51] <Hadeshorn> hey i have a java executable
[12:51] <Hadeshorn> how do i run it from the terminal?
[12:51] <Lord_Illidan> The epiphany bit was the worst, I think..
[12:51] <Hadeshorn> coz i can double click it to get it to work
[12:52] <_BugeyeD> i'm getting this when attempting to delete a user --> userdel: user test2 is currently logged in
[12:52] <Hadeshorn> but i want to see what is making it crash
[12:52] <eldenz> what's the diff between 'synaptic package manager' and 'add/remove applications'?
[12:52] <_BugeyeD> this user is NOT logged in ... where is userdel looking for this information?
[12:52] <IdleOne> _BugeyeD: log the user out
[12:52] <frague__> ikonia: When I tip Ctrl+Alt+F1 : Nothing appends... keyboard is frozen
[12:52] <_BugeyeD> IdleOne: 07:52 < _BugeyeD> this user is NOT logged in ... where is userdel looking for this information?
[12:52] <jrib> _BugeyeD: does the 'w' command confirm?
[12:52] <IdleOne> _BugeyeD: als try sudo
[12:53] <anzan> eldenz, both are gui frontends for apt.
[12:53] <Hadeshorn> anyone?
[12:53] <Pici> eldenz: Add/remove only allows you to add or remove a specific set of packages, Synaptic gives you finer control. Other than that, they are the same.
[12:53] <Hadeshorn> trying to get aptana to work
[12:53] <eldenz> anzan, so which should i use? what do the ubuntu-icons mean for synaptic?
[12:53] <bmt2> hello to all
[12:53] <eldenz> ah ok, thx
[12:53] <anzan> Wikipedia has a great article on apt.
[12:53] <bmt2> how do i turn on/off my wireless connection ?
[12:53] <_BugeyeD> IdleOne: yes, w confirms. running userdel as root. i can't figure out where userdel is finding the false information.
[12:54] <IdleOne> jrib ^^
[12:54] <anzan> Use Synaptic. There's a key in the menu for the icons.
[12:54] <_BugeyeD> doh ... jrib: yes, w confirms :)
[12:54] <IdleOne> :)
[12:55] <Lunks> I just installed ubuntu on a rather old pc, it's too slow. How to replace it with xubuntu without reinstalling? sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop will do the trick?
[12:55] <anzan> Lunks, yes.
[12:55] <IdleOne> Lunks: yup that will
[12:55] <Pici> Lunks: yep. Then just choose xfce from the gdm when you go to login
[12:55] <anzan> Then uninstall ubuntu-desktop.
[12:55] <Lunks> great. =)
[12:55] <Lunks> I can uninstall ubuntu-desktop later, good to know
[12:55] <IdleOne> anzan: no need to uninstall it
[12:55] <_BugeyeD> Lunks: best yet, install edubuntu on a faster box, and use the slow one as a thin client
[12:55] <Lunks> thanks for the massive response. =D
[12:56] <saftle> mosibfu: same problem, :D.
[12:56] <Hadeshorn> anyone? running a java executable?
[12:56] <beasty> anyone ever got this error ?
[12:56] <Hadeshorn> how do i do it?
[12:56] <beasty> Nov 20 13:26:22 localhost pppd[3297]: Peer is not authorized to use remote address 192.168.0.60
[12:56] <saftle> mosibfu: did you get my e-mail?
[12:56] <IdleOne> Lunks: uninstalling ubuntu-desktop wont do anything
[12:56] <Lunks> _BugeyeD: wish I had 2 machines. :P
[12:56] <IdleOne> it is a meta-package
[12:56] <Lunks> IdleOne: ok then
[12:56] <_BugeyeD> Lunks: hey, Christmas is coming up ... :)
[12:56] <jrib> _BugeyeD: paste the exact error given
[12:56] <IdleOne> a text file in essence
[12:56] <Pici> Hadeshorn: Its an executable? ./somefile
[12:56] <frague_>  I've a stability problem : sometines my screen freezes, mouse continue working, but nothing works on screen, and no way to restart X
[12:56] <_BugeyeD> jrib: i already did :)
[12:56] <bmt2> can anyone tell me how to toggle on/off my wireless conneciton ?
[12:57] <IdleOne> Lunks: install xubbbuntu-desktop and start to enjoy your new found OS :)
[12:57] <Hadeshorn> Pici i try to type it in but nothing
[12:57] <IdleOne> 3b?
[12:57] <IdleOne> lol
[12:57] <Pici> Hadeshorn: nothing? no errors?
[12:57] <Lunks> ok
[12:57] <Hadeshorn> Says command not found
[12:57] <Lunks> 240mb ram isn't enough for ubuntu, remember you all =P
[12:57] <IdleOne> xubuntu-desktop
[12:57] <Lunks> cu
[12:57] <Hadeshorn> but when I double click on it in gnome its fine
[12:57] <_BugeyeD> jrib: i guess i could strace it to see what all it's doing, but was hoping to find a quicker answer
[12:57] <saftle> bmt2: do you have a display icon with two monitors right to the left of your speaker symbol in the upper right hand corner of your screen?
[12:57] <Pici> Hadeshorn: you need to replace somefile with the name of the executable
[12:58] <Fakeraid0> hi.. i wanted to install a linux system and i did found a documentation where it was said "apt-get install ubuntu-base linux-386 ubuntu-desktop dmraid grub". i want to install a 64 bit linunx. do i have to change a package of that??? is there another package for the linux-386?
[12:58] <bmt2> saftle: i have the necessary icon...and it is telling me that my "wireless" is "ON"
[12:58] <ikonia> Fakeraid0 install from the cd
[12:58] <jrib> _BugeyeD: what is the result of: pgrep -u USERNAME
[12:58] <Hadeshorn> the file is Green in the terminal
[12:58] <Hadeshorn> does that mean anything
[12:58] <bmamone> yes
[12:58] <bmamone> Fakeraid0, get or burn a cd
[12:58] <bmamone> and install it
[12:58] <Fakeraid0> ikonia: its not possible like that, cause of the fakeraid
[12:59] <saftle> bmt2: well if you right click that icon, you can click "enable wireless" and that should turn it off. If were talking about the same icon.
[12:59] <ikonia> Fakeraid0: are you uing fakeraid driver that are not part of the kernel/initrd ?
[12:59] <Pici> Hadeshorn: so you're currently in the directory with the file?
[12:59] <Fakeraid0> it looks so.. i had to install dmraid on my livelinux
[12:59] <raddy> Firefox 3 beta1 official tarball working great in gutsy
[13:00] <saftle> bmt2: the check mark indicates it being on, and no checkmark indicating being off.
[13:00] <Hadeshorn> Pici yes
[13:00] <Hadeshorn> Pici in terminal and in Gnome
[13:00] <Fakeraid0> ikonia: or am i wrong?!
[13:00] <jrib> _BugeyeD: no need for strace, this is open source :) http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45226/
[13:00] <Pici> Hadeshorn: Whats the filename?
[13:00] <ari_stress> halo2 :D
[13:00] <Hadeshorn> in Gnome i just have to double click it
[13:00] <Hadeshorn> Aptana
[13:00] <bmt2> saftle: when i right click all i see is : Properties - Help - About - Remove From Panel - Move - Lock to Panel
[13:00] <Pici> Hadeshorn: and ./Aptana does nothing?
[13:00] <Hadeshorn> ohhh
[13:01] <saftle> bmt2: sorry can't help you the, guess we have a different set-up
[13:01] <Hadeshorn> you need to do ./Aptana
[13:01] <Hadeshorn> i did that and now its running
[13:01] <saftle> bmt2: then*
[13:01] <Hadeshorn> Awesome thanks
[13:01] <bmt2> saftle: thanks for trying
[13:01] <saftle> bmt2: np :)
[13:01] <dilbert> #fh-wi06
[13:02] <ikonia> raddy: you've been running it for about 1 minute, how can you be certain it i ok
[13:02] <Hadeshorn> how do you list what version of java you have installed?
[13:02] <jrib> Hadeshorn: java -version
[13:02] <Teknomancer> i'm on Ubuntu baby!
[13:02] <Hadeshorn> cool
[13:02] <ikonia> Fakeraid0: dmraid i not in the ubuntu livecd ?
[13:02] <Fakeraid0> do i need the linux-386 for a 64bit linux, too?? or do i need a linux-64 or anything like that
[13:02] <Hadeshorn> Teknomancer! Welcome to freedom
[13:02] <Teknomancer> Jack_Sparrow:  fixed it .. it was not /boot or /root
[13:02] <Teknomancer> Jack_Sparrow:   it was jsut /initrd.img and /vmlinuz
[13:02] <jrib> Fakeraid0: either (32bit is recommended)
[13:03] <Teknomancer> the error was it was using hda5 instead of sda5
[13:03] <Fakeraid0> ikonia: dmraid is on the livecd
[13:03] <Teknomancer> weird
[13:03] <ikonia> Fakeraid0: that fact that you don't undertand hat your doing, I'd urge you to not do it
[13:03] <Teknomancer> because debian recognizes my disk as hda and not sda
[13:03] <bmamone> I LOVE UBUNTU :_)
[13:03] <bmamone> :-)
[13:03] <Teknomancer> but what i don't like is
[13:03] <ikonia> !offtopic >bmamone
[13:03] <Teknomancer> i must download 96 MB of updtes :(
[13:03] <Teknomancer> slow net
[13:03] <Fakeraid0> ikonia: i tried a lot yesterday to install it with the installer, but it did not work properly
[13:03] <Pici> !enter | Teknomancer :)
[13:03] <ubotu> Teknomancer :): Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[13:03] <ikonia> Teknomancer: then don't do it
[13:04] <Teknomancer> Pici: yes sorry
[13:04] <Teknomancer> ikonia:  i hate running anything but the latest, greatest version of each software on my system :) i'll do it but probably over the weekend.
[13:04] <Teknomancer> thx again for the help Jack_Sparrow, much appreciated.
[13:04] <ikonia> Teknomancer: then don't moan about it
[13:04] <xukun> hi all
[13:05] <xukun> is there some kind of small linux version basen on ubuntu?
[13:05] <psypher246> hey everyone. has anyone successfully gotten apt-mirror installed on gutsy, i keep getting "invalid config file specified at /usr/bin/apt-mirror" with a fresh iknstall and a vlid config file
[13:05] <jrib> Teknomancer: ubuntu isn't for those who want the latest and greatest at the cost of stability
[13:05] <tim__b> hi. i downloaded http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/urw/arial/ uarial font packe for tex-live and unpacked file to what i thought was the right target (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/). When i'm building my document i still get the error, that the fontfile couldn't be found.
[13:06] <Fakeraid0> ikonia: the problem is, that i have a sata fakeraid.. and i dont want to delete my windows, so i tryed the faq on the internet.. but it was for 32bit systems i think...   is there a linux-64 or anything??  i think thats the only problem i have this time
[13:06] <psypher246> xukun yes there is it's Jeos
[13:06] <psypher246> but it's more for virtual applicances
[13:06] <wam> I upgraded to gutsy and wanted to activate effects. They are there but I don't get window-borders. What could I do?
[13:07] <ikonia> Fakeraid0: 1.) why do you want 64bit ? 2.) you need to consider what to do for the long haul, and maintenance of the system
[13:07] <Daenyth|Laptop> I'm trying to troubleshoot a laptop with kubuntu on it. My father upgraded it the other week, and now his wireless card doesn't work right. I wasn't there for all of it, but I think it's possible that something went wrong with the update. Can anyone help me with this?
[13:07] <xukun> psypher246, thanks but that is not what I,m looking
[13:08] <psypher246> u mean someting more like damn small linux
[13:10] <Daenyth|Laptop> Can anyone help me with that? First, knetworkmanager couldn't enable the card, so I went to cli and did it manually; when I ran dhclient it stalled after getting a bunch of SIOC*: Permission denied errors. I'm running it as root
[13:10] <psypher246> has anyone successfully gotten apt-mirror installed on gutsy, i keep getting "invalid config file specified at /usr/bin/apt-mirror" with a fresh iknstall and a vlid config file
[13:10] <Fakeraid0> ikonia: i just downloaded the 64bit version and have no other cdr :D   but ok.. ill try to get ready with this 64 bit now, and if i wont be able to get ready, ill go out and buy a new cdr ... :)  cu
[13:11] <Fakeraid0> oh.. and are smilies allowed here?
[13:11] <brobostigon> yes
[13:11] <chew> what's that dockapp/kicker thingie they are playing with in all those videos?
[13:11] <Fakeraid0> k.. thx.. and cu all later
[13:12] <Pici> chew: Probably AWN (avant-window-navigator)
[13:12]  * N3bunel brb
[13:13] <timothe> I don't suppose there's a way to get Amarok to use gstreamer?
[13:13] <ikonia> Fakeraid0: use the 32bit
[13:13] <chew> let me check, you know what i'm talking about? the one when they drag the icons and stuff
[13:13] <Jack_Sparrow> psypher246: Yes, but not until after I found a tutorial online.  It was something about a second reference file.
[13:14] <Daenyth|Laptop> Anyone able to help with my question at all? It's somewhat important, my dad needs this laptop for work.. I'd hate to have to wipe it and install another distro just because of this
[13:14] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: what is the problem
[13:14] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: if your dad needs it for work you may want to consider comercial support
 I'm trying to troubleshoot a laptop with kubuntu on it. My father upgraded it the other week, and now his wireless card doesn't work right. I wasn't there for all of it, but I think it's possible that something went wrong with the update. Can anyone help me with this?
 Can anyone help me with that? First, knetworkmanager couldn't enable the card, so I went to cli and did it manually; when I ran dhclient it stalled after getting a bunch of SIOC*: Permission denied errors. I'm running it as root
[13:14] <Daenyth|Laptop> It used to run fine before the update
[13:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Daenyth|Laptop: Please dont repeat
[13:15] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: ikonia was looking for a recap.
[13:15] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: check if the laptop can see the wireless cards, check if the card is configured right (encyption etc)
[13:15] <ikonia> Pici: not 2 though ;)
[13:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Hi Pici
[13:15] <Daenyth|Laptop> Jack_Sparrow: he asked me...
[13:15] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: hi!
[13:15] <sparr_w> After upgrading to ubuntu gutsy, I cannot print from OpenOffice.org apps.  They pretend to print, but nothing comes out of the printer.  I can print from anything else, including PDFs exported from OOo, so that's my workaround for now.  Any ideas?
[13:15] <Daenyth|Laptop> ikonia: iwconfig can see the card, I can iwconfig essid & iwconfig key, but when I do dhclient it doesn't work
[13:16] <ArthurArchnix> Daenyth|Laptop: If you're running as root then that means you've enabled root on this laptop, is that right?
[13:16] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: define doesn't work
[13:16] <psypher246> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, i will keep looking, absolutely no info re this on the google or ubnutu forums or debian forums
[13:16] <Pici> Daenyth|Laptop: What kind of card is it?
[13:16] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: check encyption
[13:16] <Daenyth|Laptop> ArthurArchnix: well, "sudo su" for that session
[13:16] <Jack_Sparrow> psypher246: I found it in the man pages for apt I think
[13:16] <ikonia> Pici: you know its going to be some dodging broadcom
[13:16] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: don't recommennd that
[13:16] <Jack_Sparrow> I have 4 or 5 broadcom 43xx here and never had a problem
[13:17] <Daenyth|Laptop> Pici: it's an orinoco gold B card, by lucent. Hermes chipset iirc
[13:17] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: the fact that your doing "sudo su" suggests your "meddling" without understanding
[13:17] <subpar> I think I found the problem of mine... mostly the card being fried perhaps
[13:17] <Daenyth|Laptop> because I don't want to use 'sudo' with every command?
[13:17] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: you don't have to
[13:17] <Daenyth|Laptop> aha
[13:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Daenyth|Laptop: That is asking for trouble
[13:17] <ArthurArchnix> Daenyth|Laptop: I'm not saying it's related to your current problem, but running as root can cause unexpected permission errors. Just using sudo is not running as root.
[13:18] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: so have you checked the the encyption, what error do you get back, have you tried assigning an ip address manually ?
[13:18] <Daenyth|Laptop> I can't copy/paste the errors, as I get a few. I know the encryption is right because I tried both open and secure networks, with the correct key
[13:18] <Daenyth|Laptop> let me try to assign one manually
[13:19] <ArthurArchnix> Daenyth|Laptop: Since you said this started after the update, have you tried "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"  since then to see if there are any remaining installation issues from the last update?
[13:19] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: ummerie the error,
[13:19] <Daenyth|Laptop> ArthurArchnix: I would, if I could connect to the internet
[13:19] <ikonia> summerie the errors that sould read
[13:19] <ikonia> summerise

[13:20] <Daenyth|Laptop> ArthurArchnix: none at the moment, unfortunately
[13:20] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: thats interesting how are you running dhclient ?
[13:21] <brobostigon> i am sorry, i didnt understand, i think i may have missed something.
[13:21] <Daenyth|Laptop> ikonia: just 'dhclient eth1'

[13:21] <Daenyth|Laptop> yes
[13:21] <Daenyth|Laptop> sec
[13:21] <jute> i'm back with issues involving ubuntu 7.10, nvidia 5200 and a BenQ 1920x1200 widescreen panel.  atm i manage to get 1280x1024 absolute resolution with 1920x1200 virtual.  the virtual parts are garbled tho, and i want the 1920x1200 absolute.
[13:21] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: if you do an ifconfig eth1 $ip $mask what do you get
[13:21] <Daenyth|Laptop> first thing it outputs is "wifi0: unkown hardware address type 801" ... strange, I told it to use eth1
[13:21] <jute> a) nvidia-settings claims i'm not running the nvidia driver (i am)
[13:21] <Daenyth|Laptop> (dhclient)
[13:21] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: ahhhh now we are getting somewhere
[13:22] <Daenyth|Laptop> sec
[13:22] <jute> b) displayconfig-gtk is otherwise fine, but only sets the 1280x1024 absolute
[13:22] <jute> c) what else ... oh yeah, with analog cable i get 1920x1200 just fine, but it's ANALog ...
[13:22] <Slart> jute: are you really really sure you're using the binary nvidia driver?
[13:23] <jute> any help much appreciated

[13:24] <ArthurArchnix> Daenyth|Laptop: what is output of "groups user" replacing user with username.
[13:24] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: so how where your testing it
[13:24] <jute> i'll check
[13:24] <ikonia> ArthurArchnix: its not a user error
[13:24] <ikonia> ArthurArchnix: his device address is wrong
[13:24] <santh_> what is carajo
[13:24] <ikonia> ArthurArchnix: the permission denied is because the device doesn't exist
[13:24] <aguitel_> santh_: like fuck
[13:24] <Daenyth|Laptop> ikonia: but 'iwconfig' says there is an eth1 device, and works up until that point

[13:25] <pfwdtech> Hummm I've just started using chatzillia - not used to it

[13:28] <Daenyth|Laptop> ikonia: When I tried to set the ip the first time, I hadn't remembered to reinsert the card when I was checking the model
[13:28] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: ok, so ifconfig eth1 now works ?
[13:28] <kappo011> yes
[13:28] <Daenyth|Laptop> setting the ip with ifconfig (ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.120 255.255.255.0) gets me "SIOCFIADDR: Invalid argument"
[13:28] <MsK`> hi

[13:28] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: just do "ifconfig eth1" does it work ?
[13:28] <Daenyth|Laptop> yes
[13:28] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: what does it say ?
[13:29] <Daenyth|Laptop> ok, when I just did 'ifconfig eth $ip", it worked
[13:29] <Daenyth|Laptop> normal ifconfig output
[13:29] <Daenyth|Laptop> what are you looking for in it
[13:29] <jrib> kappo011: maybe ubuntu-sk.org helps you
[13:29] <NET||abuse> how do i get the subnet of my connection?
[13:29] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: ok, so no if you do dhclient - does it work
[13:29] <ikonia> NET||abuse: ask your network administrator
[13:29] <NET||abuse> as in not the local network connection subnet..
[13:30] <Daenyth|Laptop> humm

[13:30] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: glad your working
[13:30] <Jack_Sparrow> administrator__:   maybe burn a copy of or use /var/cache/apt/updates
[13:31] <Daenyth|Laptop> ikonia: Do you have any idea what that changed so that it worked?
[13:31] <sacul> Hi

[13:31] <pawan> hi
[13:31] <pawan> how to install google earth
[13:31] <Daenyth|Laptop> alright. Well, I'll write a shell script / leave a note on the steps to get it working
[13:31] <Jack_Sparrow> administrator__:   maybe burn a copy of or use /var/cache/apt/archives
[13:31] <ikonia> pawan: look in the ubuntu repositories
[13:31] <administrator__> thanks Jack will try dat
[13:31] <Daenyth|Laptop> my dad's been meaning to learn more CLI anyway :P
[13:31] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: there shouldn't be a need for a shell script, it should work now
[13:32] <Daenyth|Laptop> oh alright
[13:32] <Jack_Sparrow> administrator__: Sorry..  still not fully awake
[13:32] <pawan> not there
[13:32] <santh_> can i have to install any driver software to connect the portable hard disc
[13:32] <santh_> can i have to install any driver software to connect the portable hard disc
[13:32] <Daenyth|Laptop> ikonia: we installed from a kubuntu disk, but my dad wants to try the gnome interface; that's apt-get install gnome-desktop, correct?
[13:32] <ikonia> Daenyth|Laptop: it i
[13:33] <ikonia> is
[13:33] <IdleOne> Daenyth|Laptop: ubuntu-desktop
[13:33] <Daenyth|Laptop> aha
[13:33] <pawan> any command
[13:33] <ikonia> pawan: any command ?
[13:33] <administrator__> i think that should work ( looking at /var/cache/apt/archives rit now )
[13:33] <pawan> for google earth
[13:33] <Daenyth|Laptop> and just as a point of curiosity, would that change the 'kubuntu' splash logo during boot?
[13:33] <ikonia> pawan: enable all the repo's then search synaptic
[13:33] <jw5801> yes daenyth is would
[13:33] <administrator__> am seeing all the updates
[13:33] <Daenyth|Laptop> neat
[13:33] <Daenyth|Laptop> Well, thanks for the help :)
[13:34] <jw5801> ubuntu-desktop will override the KDE splash and login
[13:34] <jw5801> ubuntu-core won't though I think
[13:34] <pfwdtech> Thats better
[13:34] <jw5801> oh he's gone
[13:34] <padski> rdesktop seems to have some typo or graphics bug.  right now I am looking at a "Sfarf" button :-)
[13:34] <jw5801> hehe
[13:34] <jrib> santh_: no, just plug it in
[13:34] <pfwdtech> Im now using IrcII
[13:34] <jw5801> gotta love that Sfarf button
[13:35] <Jack_Sparrow> pawan: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45230/
[13:35] <thor> padski: are you sure the screen resolution is correct? I always run rdp and vnc at a size smaller than my screen
[13:35] <Caleb> wow
[13:36] <IdleOne> Caleb: yeah 1184 is correct
[13:36] <Caleb> indeed
[13:36] <IdleOne> kinda slow today though
[13:36] <Caleb> and i thought the gentoo channel used to be bad
[13:36] <psypher246> Jack_Sparrow: apt man page is very empty, apt-mirror page only refers to the mirrir.list file i have already worked on
[13:36] <administrator__> hey Jack_Sparrow ... i have copiet the directory to a USB drive ...how can i add the directory to my sources.list?
[13:36] <jute> updated my paste with relevant info: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45232/
[13:37] <Jack_Sparrow> administrator__: Just paste it to your other setup and it will look there first
[13:37] <padski> thor: likewise, it is in a window.
[13:37] <IdleOne> administrator__: copy from usb to the machine you want it on
[13:38] <Slart> jute: do you have your xorg.conf pastebinned too?
[13:38] <Jack_Sparrow> psypher246: Sorry but I dont have the link handy for setting up your own mirror.  If I run across it while you are here I will let you know
[13:38] <IdleOne> administrator__: wait that is absolutely rediculous. sorry
[13:38] <jute> i'll put it there, same paste page ok?
[13:38] <Fakeraid0> ikonia: u remember? i asked i should install the linux-386 file... now i know that its a kernel.. and i got the 64bit kernel for that.. lets hope that ill be able to install it correct..     to this time, the whole linux installation looks very logical
[13:38] <jute> Slart ^----
[13:38] <Slart> jute: ok
[13:38] <jute> k
[13:39] <administrator__> you mean copy to /var/cache/apt/archives ???
[13:39] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[13:39] <ikonia> Fakeraid0: use the 32bit verion
[13:39] <administrator__> ok
[13:39] <ikonia> version
[13:39] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow: that will only copy the .debs but wont install them
[13:39] <jute> Slart http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45237/     <-- xorg.conf in the end
[13:39] <mikko777> hello
[13:39] <Fakeraid0> ikonia: i need the hard way.. and.. it SHOULD work also.. am i right? :D
[13:39] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed, but when he does his updates it will
[13:39] <_BugeyeD> jrib: utmp was the culprit; mv utmp/userdel/mv utmp worked. thanks for showing me the obvious place to look (that i missed, of course)!
[13:39] <Slart> jute: looking
[13:40] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow: yup
[13:40] <mcspiff> hello, i was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a grub menu.lst that has a section for booting vista?
[13:40] <Jack_Sparrow> administrator__: I do that all the time.  I download once, burn to a cd and copy to the other machines
[13:40] <ikonia> Fakeraid0: you will have serious problems with grub
[13:40] <Fakeraid0> ikonia: why??
[13:40] <administrator__> its easier that way
[13:40] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[13:40] <boontoo> hello i cant play an AVI file, i have all the codecs installed correctly can anyone offer advice, it just says things like "the file can  not be opened " deitdeda
[13:40] <ikonia> Fakeraid0: because it won't see your disk to boot
[13:40] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow: so after copying just run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade?
[13:41] <administrator__> especially whent you have a slow connection
[13:41] <ikonia> Fakeraid0: as I keep telling you
[13:41] <psypher246> Jack_Sparrow:  by following howtoforge's often incorrect howto's i was screwed. all i had to do instead of apt-mirror -c is sudo apt-mirror /etc/apt/mirror.list
[13:41] <ikonia> Fakeraid0: but you keep telling me you have to do the hard way
[13:41] <Slart> jute: just a quick thing to try.. remove the lines that specify horizsync and Vertrefresh.. I think it can detect those by itself.. or just comment them if you want to feel extra safe =)
[13:41] <brobostigon> try playing the avi with vlc, that might work
[13:41] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: the update will look in that folder before going online
[13:42] <jute> Slart, will try.
[13:42] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: If it is there it will use it
[13:42] <pfwdtech> why is it that when i press table it foes to /msg NickServ ?
[13:42] <padski> konqueror stopped responding earlier on :-(
[13:42] <ArthurArchnix> mcspiff: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45240/  <Be warned, that depending on your disks and computer setup this may not work for you.
[13:42] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow: good to know .
[13:42] <Pici> pfwdtech: you need to start typing the name of the person you want to talk to.
[13:42] <Jack_Sparrow> psypher246: glad you got it
[13:42] <jute> Slart, no difference from doing that
[13:43] <psypher246> yeah now for the deluge
[13:43] <pfwdtech> yep thats what im doing
[13:43] <Fakeraid0> ikonia: ill tell u if it works.. or not
[13:43] <Slart> jute: ok.. I looked at the benq site and it says those numbers are "Horizontal Frequency  	31-94 (KHz)
[13:43] <Slart> Vertical Frequency 	50 - 85 (Hz)"
[13:43] <ikonia> Fakeraid0: it on't
[13:43] <Slart> jute: try inputting those instead
[13:43] <jute> thanks i'll try
[13:43] <ikonia> Fakeraid0: it won't
[13:44] <Slart> jute: I think those numbers that are there are a bit too safe for your, I say this with quite a lot of envy, very large monitor =)
[13:44] <pfwdtech> it changes to .msg NickServ regardless of what person i start putting in
[13:44] <ikonia> Fakeraid0: why do you ask what to do and how to do it, to then ignore it
[13:44] <jw5801> Jack_Sparrow: I tried doing that once, needed to reinstall so I copied the entire /var/cache/apt/ directory to an external drive then put it back after the install. Still ended up downloading everything again though
[13:44] <jute> Slart yeah this is an OK panel though el-cheapo in parts of technology, i hear.  but i like looking at it :D
[13:45] <jw5801> Jack_Sparrow: should I have just copied the .debs and put them in the archive subdir?
[13:45] <Jack_Sparrow> jw5801: That is what I do.. just the debs
[13:45] <Jack_Sparrow> jw5801: I do the whole folder, minus partial and lock.. :)
[13:45] <boontoo> hello i cant play an AVI file, i have all the codecs installed correctly can anyone offer advice, it just says things like "the file can  not be opened " deitdeda
[13:46] <mcspiff> ArthurArchnix: thanks, i can modify it to suite my needs
[13:46] <ikonia> boontoo: report the exact problem not ditdeda
[13:46] <snkmad> oh new nvidia driver out yesterday, wonder how it goes along with ubuntu
[13:46] <jute> Slart still no difference
[13:46] <Jack_Sparrow> boontoo: how did you install the codecs
[13:46] <Slart> same thing in the xorg.log?
[13:46] <jute> i'm simply ctrl-alt-backspacing to restart X, but that should be enough?
[13:46] <boontoo> ikonia: i have an avi file, i have all the mplayer, vlc programs NOTHING works, in vlc it plays the movie for 3 seconds without sound, without video then stops
[13:47] <jute> yeah, same thing in the log
[13:47] <Slart> jute: hmm.. ok.. I'll be back again.. have to do some googling
[13:47] <boontoo> i installed the codecs via apt get im not sure what i have installed all i know is ive spent 2 hrs googling and installing every codec
[13:47] <jute> ok, and i'll pick up the BenQ manual
[13:47] <ikonia> boontoo: what was the error you reported earlier
[13:47] <boontoo> ikonia ill open it again and print the error
[13:47] <jw5801> Jack_Sparrow: cool, I'll remember for when I'm setting up my mates laptop in a couple of weeks, cheers!
[13:47] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[13:48] <Jack_Sparrow> jw5801: you can burn to a cd and add cd as a local repo
[13:48] <boontoo> ikonia: Failed top open file:: 2006.wcup.avi
[13:48] <ikonia> boontoo and thats the only line ?
[13:49] <boontoo> ikonia: correct
[13:49] <Jack_Sparrow> boontoo: Have you tried other avi files?
[13:49] <milestone> is there a software available to convert a given visio 2003 document to pdf?
[13:49] <ikonia> boontoo: run "file" against it
[13:49] <boontoo> Jack_Sparrow: yes and they have worked
[13:49] <snkmad> Improved usability of NVIDIA-settings at lower resolutions like 1024x768 and 800x600. thats good when you 1st install the system
[13:49] <Jack_Sparrow> so it is just that one avi not all avi?
[13:49] <boontoo> ikonia: .avi: data
[13:49] <ikonia> boontoo: that doesn't look like a video file
[13:49] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[13:49] <boontoo> ikonia: oh gay
[13:50] <boontoo> =(
[13:50] <boontoo> yhbt on bit torrent once again
[13:50] <boontoo> how can i scrape it for data
[13:50] <ikonia> you can't
[13:50] <snkmad> how do i see the deviceID of my gfx card?
[13:50] <ikonia> boontoo: this is not an ubuntu problem
[13:50] <boontoo> ikonia: where should i get help to resolve this
[13:51] <ikonia> boontoo: don't know
[13:51] <boontoo> ok
[13:51] <jw5801> milestone: don't even know of  a tool one can use to open a visio doc, but there's things like cutepdf for windows. acts as it's own printer so anything can be printed to pdf
[13:51] <milestone> jw5801: thx
[13:51] <milestone> but i have no windows
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> jw5801: Thanks for cutepdf... will note that..

[13:56] <cousin_luigi> hello
[13:56] <rubydiamond> jatt, is -print is compulsory?
[13:56] <cousin_luigi> updater stopped working
[13:56] <cousin_luigi> apt-get works though
[13:56] <jatt> rubydiamond: no
[13:57] <rubydiamond> jatt, it did not print anything
[13:57] <jatt> rubydiamond: -print (or -print0) is default
[13:57] <wasalwaysbuddy> rubydiamond: if your files may contain whitespace, you will want to add a -print0 to find and a -0 to xargs.
[13:57] <Tomcat_> keitherz: http://andrew.triumf.ca/iso8859-1-compose.html
[13:57] <rubydiamond> Tomcat_,  what is xargs
[13:58] <Tomcat_> rubydiamond: xargs is a command that takes lines from standard input and puts them on the command line.
[13:58] <jatt> rubydiamond: try
[13:58] <jatt> find . -name \*.swp -print

The printer doesn't react. Ubuntu can detect the printer and install the driver without problems. It's an HP DeskJet 710C. Can anyone help?
[13:58] <jute> Slart i updated the paste with a new observation http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45241/
[13:58] <jw5801> cousin_luigi: what do you mean, the updater stopped working? If "sudo apt-get update" returns success then it should be good
[13:58] <cousin_luigi> jw5801: the gui one...
[13:58] <Tomcat_> rubydiamond: Like, you have a file with file names to delete: "cat myfile | xargs rm"
[13:58] <Slart> jute: ok.. btw.. you running 32bit or 64bit?
[13:58] <jute> 32bit
[13:58] <cousin_luigi> jw5801: apt-get upgrade works perfectly
[13:59] <jw5801> cousin_luigi: so what happens when you try and run the gui one?
[13:59] <rubydiamond> Tomcat_, got it thanks
[13:59] <wasalwaysbuddy> rubydiamond: You can think of it as turning a vertical listing (separated by newlines) into a field listing (separated by spaces)

[14:00] <cousin_luigi> jw5801: then again the same screen

[14:01] <Jack_Sparrow> bauer_: What is the format on the stick?
[14:01] <jute> checking
[14:01] <jw5801> cousin_luigi: does running "sudo apt-get upgrade" update the packages? Or does it tell you that one or more cannot be verified and ask if you want to proceed?
[14:01] <Slart> jute: read-edid is a small program that reads valid display modes from the monitor
[14:01] <cousin_luigi> jw5801: it does
[14:01] <cousin_luigi> jw5801: it works perfectly from the console
[14:02] <Slart> jute: I can't run it here since it's not available for 64-bit systems
[14:02] <padski> how do I stop the lcd going out of sync during boot ?

[14:04] <Jack_Sparrow> bauer_: run gparted and tell us if it can see the partitions on the stick
[14:04] <jw5801> cousin_luigi: that's very strange... since they all use apt-get as a backend. Which gui are we using? synaptic?

[14:04] <sorteal> lol
[14:05] <Slart> MenZa: gnome does stuff our feeble minds can hardly comprehend =)
[14:05] <jute> MenZa explanations here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45241/ :D

[14:05] <cousin_luigi> jw5801: update-notifier
[14:05] <bauer_> Jack_Sparrow: I have two usbstick a 1 G abd 4 G. I can't see either in gparted
[14:06] <rubydiamond> What is the good and productive MySQL GUI client for ubuntu linux??????
[14:06] <jute> Slart i'm positive however that the update-part in the paste really does set 1900x1200 absolute, and X just doesn't realize it has that much space (it's more like in 1600x800, judging by eye)
[14:06] <Jack_Sparrow> bauer_: No idea..  someone here may know.. I assume they work in windows?
[14:06] <padski> one of the strange symptoms of this rdesktop problem is that windows of funny text on the remote systems actually scroll.  the funny text moves up and down as expected but otherwise stays the same (funny).
[14:07] <jw5801> cousin_luigi: it's still telling you you need to update after updating with apt-get?
[14:07] <Slart> jute: yes.. that's the biggest valid resolution according to the xorg log
[14:07] <cousin_luigi> jw5801: synaptic doesn't work either
[14:07] <cousin_luigi> jw5801: no, it doesn't
[14:07] <cousin_luigi> jw5801: I mean synaptic doesn't update
[14:07] <ganjistus> a Quantum Leap happened to me!
[14:07] <Slart> jute: no, sorry, it was 1440 something
[14:07] <Balancin> i cant install anything (aptitude, apt-get) because error: dpkg: error processing phpgroupware (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 10
[14:08] <boontoo> well my ubuntu just crapped out, whats the log file to look for errors ?
[14:08] <jute> Slart no difference for get-edid in 'valid' modes,
[14:08] <Balancin> how to solve that?
[14:08] <bauer_> Jack_Sparrow: they worked on feisty and they work on suse 9.3
[14:08] <Jack_Sparrow> bauer_: But do they work NOW on those systems
[14:09] <jw5801> cousin_luigi: ah, update as opposed to upgrade? dang similar terminology! Does it tell you which repository it's struggling to verify? or just keep cycling around and around?
[14:09] <bauer_> Jack_Sparrow: gparted coredump when i try to update devicelist ?-(.   Yes they work now on whose systems :-(
[14:09] <cousin_luigi> jw5801: sorry, I mean it doesn't mark packages to be upgraded
[14:09] <padski> Jack_Sparrow, it is fine once X starts.  this is during the early boot.
[14:09] <jw5801> boontoo: there are several, /var/log/*
[14:09] <cousin_luigi> jw5801: no problems at all in accessing repositories
[14:10] <rubydiamond> What is the good and productive MySQL GUI client for ubuntu linux??????
[14:10] <Jack_Sparrow> padski: ..ok..  so it is just that momentary sync loss that you want to get rid of?
[14:10] <Pici> rubydiamond: mysql-query-browser? mysql-admin?
[14:11] <Slart> jute: what was the error message from read-edid?
[14:11] <boontoo> jw5801: which one am i looking for though
[14:11] <jaym> is there anyway to share a daap server over the net?
[14:11] <padski> Jack_Sparrow, it goes out of range
[14:11] <jw5801> cousin_luigi: ok, so it's telling you you need to upgrade a package then failing to do it? My immediate suggestion would be to upgrade via apt-get if that's working "sudo apt-get upgrade" and see if that tells you if it has any that aren't being upgraded or any that aren't verified
[14:11] <jute> Slart "Your EDID is probably invalid.
[14:11] <Jack_Sparrow> padski: but then comes back?
[14:11] <padski> Jack_Sparrow, yup
[14:11] <jute> with some ��
[14:12] <cousin_luigi> jw5801: apt-get upgrade works flawlessly
[14:12] <ganjistus> the Ganjitude alternates
[14:12] <Jack_Sparrow> padski: Post your xorg to the pastebin .. it may just need a lower default res
[14:12] <jw5801> boontoo: depends what happened! syslog is the most general
[14:12] <jute> Slart i can put it all in the paste
[14:12] <cousin_luigi> jw5801: but I'd Ãliketo be able to do it from updae-notifier
[14:12] <rubydiamond> Pici, dont u know any other good?
[14:12] <gordonjcp> jaym: is DAAP routable?
[14:13] <rubydiamond> Pici, how to edit table rows in mysql-admin
[14:13] <Slart> jute: sure, more info is better =)
[14:13] <jaym> dunno i just got it running on my server last night so i am asking
[14:13] <boontoo> !paste
[14:13] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[14:13] <ikonia> rubydiamond: join #mysqladmin
[14:13] <ikonia> rubydiamond: this is ubuntu support
[14:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici: ganjistus is not here to help or get help .. just anoying
[14:13] <ganjistus> i need two ubuntus for my son
[14:13] <boontoo> jw5801: what do you think about this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45243/ ?
[14:13] <gordonjcp> jaym: ah, it looks like daap *isn't* routable
[14:13] <gordonjcp> jaym: have a look at gnump3d
[14:14] <Thecks> Anybody know why I can't get Nautillius to connect to WebDav folders?
[14:14] <ganjistus> i need a Sonbuntu
[14:14] <DM|> So i want to set up a music server ( to play on my laptop when my music is at home) can this be accomplished?
[14:14] <Thecks> DM| Of course :)
[14:14] <ikonia> DM|: ye, just share the resources
[14:14] <padski> Jack_Sparrow, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45244/
[14:14] <DM|> how so? im trying ssh but no success
[14:14] <gordonjcp> DM|: gnump3d
[14:15] <ganjistus> bye mr. mario and luigi
[14:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !ops > ganjistus
[14:15] <jaym> gordonjcp: does that work as a daap server as well?
[14:15] <jute> Slart new paste, it was complaining about me spamming the pastebin (:?) http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45245/
[14:15] <jw5801> cousin_luigi: ah, so they're not still telling you that things need upgrading in spite of apt-get working? I'm not sure what the issue is then...
[14:16] <gordonjcp> jaym: no
[14:16] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: fyi. using the > doesnt hilight the ops, nor does it set off an alert in #u-ops.
[14:16] <Jakobsen> How do I use the original Ubuntu window decorations with Compiz?
[14:16] <jw5801> boontoo: so you can't log in?
[14:16] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: I just happen to have the trigger itself on hilight.
[14:16] <DM|> gordonjcp i dont want to use samba, does gnump use that ? or what
[14:16] <gordonjcp> jaym: unless you've got end-to-end multicast routing, you can't send daap over the internet ;-)
[14:16] <joeltron> greetings all.
[14:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici: then I should bang | it
[14:16] <jute> i see now that there was more to it ...
[14:16] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: next time, yes :)
[14:16] <jaym> ah no good then. more important for me to share within my network
[14:16] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[14:16] <boontoo> jw5801: hmm no, i was intalling something and then ubuntu acted if i had just CTRL+ALT+Backspaced
[14:16] <joeltron> any good raid-5 channels anyone could recommend?
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici: I sent you a quick line when I saw where it was heading but you were out for coffee?
[14:17] <ikonia> joeltron: 3are or LI
[14:17] <ikonia> joeltron: 3ware or LSI
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> padski: are you still using feisty?
[14:17] <jw5801> boontoo: weird... well run "ls -la ~ | grep .X" and make sure .Xauthority is owned by root, because that's what syslog is complaining about
[14:18] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: I was actually checking our bantracker to see if there had been kicks before and if this needed a ban.
[14:18] <joeltron> ikonia: thank you.
[14:18] <DM|> gordonjcp can i use gnump without having a web server?my "server" is a ubuntu desktop box i use for VMs and remote management
[14:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici: np you guys do a great job

[14:19] <boontoo> jw5801: im going to try and install again with clean logfiles see if i can catch the error
[14:19] <Jack_Sparrow> padski: It might have something to do with your sis video card..  sorry I cant be of more help
[14:19] <boontoo> jw5801: well it worked :\
[14:19] <Thecks> Anybody know why I can't get Nautillius to connect to WebDav folders?
[14:20] <wasalwaysbuddy> Thecks: Try Places -> Connect To Server -> WebDAV
[14:20] <Thecks> I've done that, it always says Access denied
[14:20] <Thecks> But I can access it from KDE / WinXP no problems
[14:21]  * tomasz154_ zz
[14:21] <_jason> Thecks: did you choose secure webdav?
[14:21] <jw5801> boontoo: yeah, no idea, everything appears to be ok now.
[14:21] <padski> Jack_Sparrow, no worries :-)
[14:22] <boontoo> jw5801: it also happens when i exit an open gl game
[14:22] <Bu-D> .dal.net
[14:22] <Thecks> _jason: I've tried both
[14:22] <jw5801> boontoo: you're running compiz, yeah? it crashes X every time I try and put a game fullscreen or change it's resolution
[14:23] <boontoo> correct im using compiz
[14:24] <jw5801> boontoo: I'll put that down to it being alpha. Try running the game under metacity. Run "metacity --replace" then the game. I have a shell script set up on a hotkey to switch between the two for when I want to play zsnes or anything similar
[14:24] <jute> (Slart) here's another update on my issue: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45246/
[14:24] <Teknomancer> i've just enabled "Normal Effects" under Preferences-> Appearance..   is there a way i can just disable the workspace switching animation??
[14:25] <Mark761966> I have virtual box :)
[14:26] <Noodels> Hey, can someone help me test my program?
[14:26] <seeitcoming> Teknomancer: gconf-editor then chance apps/compiz
[14:26] <jw5801> Teknomancer: "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" then fiddle with the settings under Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[14:26] <seeitcoming> *change
[14:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Noodels: what is the program and what format is it?
[14:26] <Mark761966> What program is that, Noodels?
[14:26] <boontoo> jw5801: you dont have internal on board crapfest like i do i take it switching between two windows managers is a daunting task, its taken me weeks to hack pretty much every driver to get it to work on ubuntu now its in that fragle peroid of limbo where it can either pull threw or snap its back
[14:26] <JimGrey> Mark761966, i do also, working well
[14:27] <Teknomancer> thanks seeitcoming and jw5801 :)
[14:27] <Mark761966> Okay. Now what do I do with it Jim?
[14:27] <Noodels> It's a python program, I'm learning to use sockets and I just went through a guide on opening up ports on my router.
[14:27] <Mark761966> Okay.  That's me out then
[14:27] <Noodels> All I need to do is find someone who's not in my lan to help me test it.
[14:28] <JimGrey> Mark761966, is it stalled?
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Noodels: The python user room would be a better place to get that tested
[14:28] <JimGrey> installed
[14:28] <Mark761966> No, I just don't have anything to use it on, Jim
[14:28] <Noodels> J.Sparrow : I can't get into the python user room for some reason... :'(
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Noodels: If it is a short script, post it and I will look it over
[14:28] <Mark761966> I was hoping for a recommendation
[14:29] <Mark761966> Man, my smileys rock :D
[14:29] <Noodels> 14 lines in total.
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Noodels: Did they ban you for some reason?
[14:29] <JimGrey> Mark761966, well, u can d/l a different linux distro, or an old version of windoze, etc
[14:29] <Noodels> Nope, never went there.
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Noodels: Stick it in the pastebin and post a link here
[14:29] <Mark761966> Can I download and run the iso files, Jim?
[14:29] <Noodels> I connect up to irc.freenode.net and try /join #python but it doesn't work.
[14:29] <jw5801> boontoo: I just have a dodgy ATi onboard. Runs alright with fglrx though. Switching between the two is pretty easy though, just running "metacity --replace" to start metacity and "compiz --replace" to start compiz. I just wrote a shell script so I could check which was running and switch to the other via one key combination.
[14:30] <Noodels> I'll get a link where it is now.
[14:30] <JimGrey> Mark761966, yes, in settings change the cdrom
[14:30] <Pici> Noodels: you're on freenode right now, fyi.
[14:30] <Mark761966> Okay
[14:30] <LjL-Temp> Noodels, you *are* on freenode already. type /join #python, unless you're banned it *will* work.
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Noodels: I just got into the python room with no problems
[14:30] <Mark761966> If I appear to be crying it's because I'm trying out some smiley commands *cry*
[14:30] <Mark761966> Hmm

[14:52] <digit> LJL: It doesn't seem like it.
[14:52] <Slart> jute: hmm.. I'm running out of things to try now.. I think your edid-data is borked or non-existing, that's would explain why X can't autodetect your monitor... I also think you should manually specify the horiz and refresh rates from benq's site (since X can't do it right).. but what the next step is I don't know
[14:53] <Whitor> Hi, I can't get to a local server on my intranet... I can ping its ip, but when I try to ping its name it says Ping: unknown host.   Yet... and here is the important part, nslookup servername revelals the correct name resolution.... any ideas?
[14:53] <ehird1> anyone know about grub error 18?
[14:53] <jute> yeah.  i'll switch back to VGA analog now.  thank you SO MUCH for all your help, we got pretty far and i'm sure *something* will come up in one point or other :)
[14:53] <jute> i'll try to figure out why i can't run nvidia-settings properly etc
[14:53] <Teknomancer> wow, that pidgin notification thing has been fixed!! great. Now clicking takes me to the correct workspace than just plopping the window on the current one. i'm liking ubuntu quite a bit :)
[14:53] <Slart> ehird1: yes.. it's one of the most asked questions here.. sadly I can't remember any good answers to it..
[14:54] <jmazaredo2> the apt-get error looks like something like this failed to fetch http://blahblhablha hash sum mismatch
[14:54] <Jack_Sparrow> ehird1: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18
[14:54] <ehird1> Slart: well if ubuntu didn't crash about 3 times (literally) in a row for no reason this wouldn't have happened :P
[14:54] <Slart> jute: you're welcome.. and good luck in getting it all to work
[14:54] <ehird1> Jack_Sparrow: yes except the hard drive is fine, i've had this problem before i just can't remember the solution
[14:54] <Slart> ehird1: hehe.. I think error 18 might be about grub not finding files or partitions it's supposed to boot from
[14:55] <ehird1> Slart: no, the files are fine and there
[14:55] <digit> anyone use gOS?
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> ehird1: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS     get it under 1024
[14:55] <digit> it's pseudo friendly!
[14:55] <Slart> ehird1: then perhaps the disks have switched places for some reason? new partition somewhere?
[14:56] <ehird1> Jack_Sparrow: >the harddrive is fine. it was booting 20 minutes ago. i have had this problem before and it was not the hard drive. please read my messages before replying.<
[14:56] <terryd> Whiter: What happens if you put that entry in your /etc/hosts file?
[14:56] <ehird1> Slart: no! it just crashed - 3 times - and then this happened
[14:56] <jatt> hi, I use gnumeric and abiword they are great. I am looking for a presentation application _DIFFERENT THAN OPENOFFICE_ (which can read powerpoint files) for gnome, any advice?
[14:56] <Jack_Sparrow> ehird1: I did...  and you didnt bother to read the link provided
[14:56] <ehird1> Yes I did.
[14:56] <Jack_Sparrow> yea right
[14:56] <Profanephobia> calm down folks
[14:56] <digit> laughing ol
[14:57] <ehird1> Jack_Sparrow: because I have so much to gain from lying about what i did read and didn't
[14:57] <ehird1> Jack_Sparrow: I googled it to start with, it was the first article thre.
[14:57] <buzztu> what do i do with a .bin file?
[14:57] <ehird1> incidentally, none of the causes or solutions there apply.
[14:57] <ehird1> which is what i just said.
[14:57] <jmazaredo2> Err http://security.ubuntu.com gutsy-security Release
[14:57] <Slart> ehird1: and all your drives are still working?
[14:58] <ehird1> Slart: of course. i'm talking to you from windows.
[14:58] <ehird1> and the other drive is /fine/
[14:58] <jmazaredo2> thats the error when using apt-get update
[14:58] <ehird1> i can 100% assure you that it's not a problem with the drive having lost files, or not being in a certain segment
[14:58] <Slart> ehird1: well.. then it's the "pizza way".. buy your local linux-guru a pizza and say he can have it after he fixes your computer ;)
[14:58] <displague> has anyone been using the latest x packages in hardy?  My scroll speed in firefox/thunderbird/ any large window has greatly suffered. 3d effects of compiz however seem normal.

[15:00] <bazhang> Jack_Sparrow: heh--just trying to clarify :}
[15:00] <Slart> ehird1: if I were you I'd boot from a live cd and do the steps described in setting up grub.. ie set boot drive, grub setup etc etc.. it's a little bit like the old "reboot, reinstall"-solution but it's all I've got to offer

[15:03] <billenium> how do i completely remove samba, everything named samba, and everything samba related from my HDD?

[15:05] <bazhang> compiz --replace
[15:05] <DaveG|> compiz --replace chaplan i think
[15:05] <Slart> ehird1: my guess is something broke in your boot process.. bios resetting something.. some grub files broken.. disks resetting.. something that made the system not finding the boot drives, boot files etc

[15:10] <LoveNPeace> Hmm, not in feisty ?
[15:10] <Jack_Sparrow> destinyking: wubi is a bad idea
[15:10] <ikonia> destinyking: wubi is not supported
[15:10] <tim> destinyking:  I don't thinnk they have wubi for 7.10 yet ?
[15:10] <slytherin> ikonia: 400 or 4000. I read somewhere that 5 GB disk space is recommended.
[15:11] <LoveNPeace> Where can I read about upgrading from feisty to gutsy ?
[15:11] <destinyking> whenever i run this wubi software
[15:11] <ikonia> slytherin: 5gb is recommended to have free space, I recall the install being only approx 400 meg
[15:11] <LoveNPeace> without full reinstall ?
[15:11] <ikonia> destinyking: Wubi is NOT surpported
[15:11] <destinyking> sorry is this not the correct channel

[15:12] <bazhang> buzztu: from the repos?
[15:12] <slytherin> ubotu: tell LoveNPeace about upgrade
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> tim: You might have better luck asking how to get the current version working
[15:12] <Slart> tim: download the deb or tar from winehq.com
[15:12] <tim> !wubi
[15:12] <ehird1> except from the sounds of it much less stable
[15:12] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html

[15:12] <destinyking> i have downloaded
[15:12] <destinyking> it
[15:12] <destinyking> but its connecting to internet and download linux distro
[15:12] <slytherin> destinyking: Why do you need wubi?
[15:13] <Jack_Sparrow> destinyking: You run the possibility of trashing your ntfs/windows
[15:13] <tim> Slart:  Ok i downloaded a Tar what now?
[15:13] <jmazaredo2> anyone here using 7.10 having problems in apt-get or aptitude?

[15:13] <jmazaredo2> updating

[15:13] <Slart> tim: your life will be easier if you download the deb-file instead
[15:13] <bastid_raZor> the latest tzdata update seems to fail..
[15:13] <ikonia> pbn: disable SCSI ?
[15:13] <Jack_Sparrow> destinyking: You do not need wubi to install from cd rom
[15:14] <slytherin> jmazaredo2: paste errors somewhere
[15:14] <pbn> ikonia: yeah, disable SCSI support in the kernel
[15:14] <jmazaredo2> Err http://security.ubuntu.com gutsy-security Release
[15:14] <Slart> tim: you then uninstall your current version of wine "sudo apt-get remove wine" or something.. depending on how you installed it..  and then install the deb you've download by doubleclicking it
[15:14] <ikonia> pbn: well grub doesn't use the kernel, so be clear about what you want, scsi support in grub or the kernel
[15:14] <jmazaredo2> W: GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com gutsy-security Release:
[15:14] <pbn> ikonia: well yeah :)
[15:14] <destinyking> Ubuntu is installed within a file in the windows file system (c:\wubi\disks\system.virtual.disk), this file is seen by Linux as a real hard disk.”
[15:15] <destinyking> i got a ubuntu cd
[15:15] <ikonia> destinyking: for the last time, Wubi is NOT supported here
[15:15] <pbn> lemme reformulate: how can I add parameters in the grub stanza to tell the kernel to completely disable SCSI ?
[15:15] <jmazaredo2> i updated gpg change mirrors
[15:15] <[Ramy]> ikonia  sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/flash -rw , i tried this and it does not work  it still read only :(
[15:15] <jmazaredo2> still problem
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> destinyking: What part of NOT SUPPORTED are you having a problem with.
[15:15] <slytherin> destinyking: Can you tell us why do you need to install Ubuntu inside Windows?
[15:15] <Whitor> Hi, I can't get to a local server on my intranet... I can ping its ip, but when I try to ping its name it says Ping: unknown host.   Yet... and here is the important part, nslookup servername revelals the correct name resolution.... any ideas?
[15:15] <ikonia> [Ramy]: the -rw comes before the devices
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> destinyking: Put in the cd and power up.. follow the prompts
[15:15] <destinyking> bcoz i dont want to mess my hdd
[15:16] <yellabs> use vmware or virtualbox to install ubuntu inside windows, just a thought
[15:16] <destinyking> creating two extra and separate partitions
[15:16] <bastid_raZor> destinyking, having windows is a mess enough
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> destinyking: You run MORE of a risk using wubi
[15:16] <ikonia> Whitor: what is nswitch.conf set to
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> destinyking: Dual boot works fine
[15:16] <ikonia> destinyking: if you persist to ask about WUIB
[15:16] <Whitor> ikonia: let me check
[15:16] <bazhang> destinyking: stay away from wubi; the ubuntu live cd will do fine--you can try before you decide :}
[15:17] <slytherin> destinyking: Then use live CD directly. Or separate hard disk.
[15:17] <Whitor> ikonia: locate nswitch.conf doesn't show the file
[15:17] <Slart> Whitor: I don't know if ping and nslookup use different ways of doing the name resolution.. you could try running nslookup server dns-server-ip or whatever the syntax is to specify the dns server you want to use
[15:17] <slytherin> jmazaredo2: I am not getting any problem. Can you paste the complete error somewhere?
[15:17] <bazhang> !paste

[15:18] <ikonia> Whitor: /etc/nsswitch.conf sorry
[15:18] <Whitor> Slart: I'm using my own DNS. and its not ping... its http that I really need...
[15:18] <Whitor> ikonia: thaks
[15:18] <jmazaredo2> ill check again later ty slytherin
[15:19] <slytherin> destinyking: You don't need much knowledge of dual booting. Just go ahead and install Ubuntu

[15:20] <bastid_raZor> destinyking, more than likely you'll have to run the windows install disk at the end to fix some files.. windows tends to spread their system files all across the partition. simple repair from the install disk should do it
[15:20] <anzan> Jack_Sparrow, why do you say "WHEN you have a problem" re Wubi? I'm just wondering?
[15:20] <ikonia> [Ramy]: show me the output of "mount" in a pastbin please
[15:20] <ikonia> Whitor: unusual

[15:23] <Hyber[at]Work> when I try and boot from the CD, I can press enter to start ubuntu... I can move around and choose to boot from harddisk.. but nothing happens if I try and boot into ubuntu... Anyone know what that could be?
[15:23] <Slart> tvisto: using samba... it does shared drives and printers
[15:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Hyber[at]Work: Nothing happens... nothing at all
[15:23] <destinyking> what should be done so that i can see my windows drives in linux
[15:24] <ezequiel> de donde son?
[15:24] <tvisto> Slart: do i have to install it on my pc then yeah?
[15:24] <Hyber[at]Work> Jack_Sparrow, CD-drive just blinks and then nothing more
[15:24] <Jack_Sparrow> destinyking: should not be a problem.. ntfs read has always worked
[15:24] <Hyber[at]Work> Jack_Sparrow, I does not leave the menu
[15:24] <tvisto> Slart: thanks you helped alot!!!
[15:24] <Slart> tvisto: nope.. samba is the linux software that does about the same thing as the sharing stuff on a windows machine
[15:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Hyber[at]Work: check the cd for defects?
[15:24] <Hyber[at]Work> Jack_Sparrow, I tried from 2 different (dell) machines and in a vmware server..

[15:26] <Slart> Whitor: and you can't ping server1.avc.local?
[15:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Hyber[at]Work: You can use one of those other machines to verify the md5... nero has a free md5 checker

[15:28] <ramza3> I installed FF3a8 through apt, I want to install beta, I dont think it is available, should I install it the normal way?
[15:28] <underdawg> hmm
[15:28] <Whitor> Slart: is it possible that its trying to go out trough my wireless card? ... which isn't connected to anything... ?
[15:28] <yellabs_> hmm, ubotu needs to learn some new things
[15:28] <Whitor> but nslookup is going out through my wired connection and thus working fine ...

[15:28] <yellabs_> ah , its knows something
[15:28] <yellabs_> :P
[15:29] <Whitor> Slart: annoying indeed, thanks for sympathizing.
[15:29] <Alin> i have a problem with the splash screen
[15:29] <Alin> can anyone help me ?
[15:29] <yellabs_> Alin whats the problem?

[15:29] <Alin> it appears a message "Authentication failed" (gutsy)
[15:29] <rubydiamond> my mysql-admin asks me to login to localhost connection everytime I click edit data.. how to make it permanent?
[15:29] <Slart> Whitor: what does the command "route" tell you.. put it on the same pastebin?
[15:30] <lusepuster_> Hi folks-running gutsy w some few KDE apps, including Kopete for video chat... My prob is, only Kopete is stable for that (skype beta crashes the video, amsn don't work), but when I see my g/f, the image lags terribly, like, for minutes. Known problem,and is there a cure?
[15:30] <Alin> i can't do anything
[15:30] <Alin> any ideea ?
[15:30] <yellabs_> Alin : caps lock on?

[15:34] <stefg> lusepuster_: i don't know. but it doesn't hurt trying, even if it doesn't do anything it's safe to have it disabled
[15:34] <Alin> it a simple dialog box, not like the "wrong user/password" one
[15:34] <Alin> it is*
[15:35] <ArthurArchnix> I'm sick of rythmbox giving me import errors. What would the command look like to recusively scan every folder under /music and delete all files with extension .db Something like this? >rm -R *.db /mnt/music<
[15:35] <lusepuster_> stefg: Okay thanks...
[15:36] <ramza3> anybody know where I can get a firefox3beta deb package or ubuntu install
[15:36] <DaveG|> exit
[15:36] <DaveG|> nooo
[15:36] <ourumov> I tried to mount a ext3 (and several others) partition while installing ubunto but it doesn't work! "No such device". But device is there and has a major as well minor device number. Altough my hdd seems to be /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda.   Any ideas?
[15:37] <stefg> ourumov: ubuntu uses libata for Pata now, so it's norml that hda became sda
[15:37] <Alin> so... anyone can help me ?
[15:37] <stefg> !uuid | ourumov
[15:37] <ubotu> ourumov: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[15:38] <Whitor> Slart: new pastebin with route: http://pastebin.com/m57eb54cf
[15:38] <bastid_raZor> if tzdata failed to update correctly via apt-get .. i should sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata ? what does after that
[15:38] <DM|> Anyone notice in gutsy when you "open with" GIMP it opens up a new gimp every single time you do that to a new picture/xcf
[15:38] <ehird1> So how do I reinstall GRUB?
[15:38] <ehird1> I can probably get into recovery mode.
[15:38] <ourumov> stefg: ok with sda. uuid? you mean i should try /dev/disk/by-uuid/.... ?
[15:39] <jaym> why is it on rhythmbox and banshee switching from one song to another using a daap server causes it to stop playing?
[15:39] <stefg> ourumov: i don't know what you want to do ... the !uuid factoid has just some info why your hda is sdy now
[15:40] <ourumov> stefg: ah ok
[15:40] <VSpike> Hey guys - can anyone help with tools to compare directory contents recursively?
[15:40] <VSpike> I tried diff but it doesn't seem to be exactly what i want
[15:40] <jahdeko> hi
[15:40] <stefg> ourumov: and generally it's a bad idea to mount any partitions manually during install, since they need to be mounted in /target
[15:40] <ArthurArchnix> The man page on 'rm' isn't too helpful in terms of explaining how to use wildcards. If I'm at /mnt/music and I have a hundred folders and want to delete every file with extension .db in all those folders, would this command work "rm -r *.db" or would that search my entire hard drive?
[15:40] <ehird1> So how do I reinstall GRUB? I can probably get into recovery mode.
[15:41] <VSpike> I don't actually want a file level diff - at least by default.  I'm looking for summary info, like which files are unique to which directories, which are identical (at least in size and date stamp) and which differ in those
[15:41] <stefg> !grub | ehird1
[15:41] <ubotu> ehird1: 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
[15:41] <stefg> ehird1: google should have been your first thought
[15:41] <VSpike> I installed mc but I can't even figure out how to use it - and there doesn't seem to be much documentation online, if any
[15:41] <ehird1> stefg: it was, thanks
[15:42] <VSpike> on a similar note, how can I make find print relative paths?
[15:42] <linux4me> hi guys, i'm trying to connect remotely from my ubuntu 7.10 desktop (gui) to another box on my lan running solaris 5.8 (x-windows).  What do you recommend?
[15:42] <VSpike> linux4me: connect in what sense?
[15:42] <tussey> is there a way (script) to remove duplicate messages in Mail.app?
[15:42] <stefg> linux4me: openssh
[15:42] <bastid_raZor> ArthurArchnix, rm -R .. and since you do not have the -f flag you would be able to say yes or no to each file.
[15:42] <Matic`Makovec> Hey there. Could someome point me to a picture/graphics editor which can save files in .ico format?
[15:42] <tussey> oops wrong channel
[15:42] <Slart> Whitor: ok.. the route table looked normal.. you've got your wireless connection but it's not the default
[15:43] <bieb> has anyone here looked at the Black Friday ads for laptops? I am looking to buy a laptop and was wondering about the Ubuntu support for any of the sub $500 laptops here.. http://www.notebooks.com/black-friday-notebooks/
[15:43] <VSpike> i have a horrible feeling I'm going to have to run beyond compare in WINE :(
[15:43] <ArthurArchnix> bastid_raZor: so /mnt/Music$ rm -R -f *.db    would be better then.
[15:43] <ourumov> stefg: I'm trying to install ubunto using alternateISO without any CD-ROM drive (subnotebook). Therefore I want to mount the ext3 FS to install base system.
[15:43] <linux4me> vspike - connect using xwindows as i need to run an x-windows program on the solaris box
[15:43] <stefg> !hardware | bieb
[15:43] <ubotu> bieb: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[15:44] <Slart> Whitor: but on the other hand.. your link-local has a metric of 0.. so I guess it could be using that for resolution
[15:44] <stefg> !install | ourumov , here are some tricks for you
[15:44] <ubotu> ourumov , here are some tricks for you: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[15:44] <bastid_raZor> ArthurArchnix, rm -Rf would do. and it will not go outside the directory you're in. meaning /mnt/Music is all it would search and any sub directories.
[15:44] <VSpike> linux4me: you should be able to do that using ssh if you use the right parameters
[15:44] <ArthurArchnix> bastid_raZor: Thanks
[15:44] <linux4me> VSpike - so i guess i just have to configure ssh properly on the solaris box then
[15:45] <methods[laptop]> my tty's are really out of resolution... anyone know why they are like this ?
[15:45] <stefg> ourumov: use a USB stick
[15:45] <ourumov> stefg: I will read
[15:45] <Slart> Whitor: have you tried disabling your wireless network?
[15:45] <ourumov> stefg: No, sadly cant boot from USB :(
[15:45] <DM|> ok well GNUMP3D isnt working as i want it to, I just want to be able to play music on a PC remotley connected to my PC at home, is there another solution?
[15:45] <Whitor> Slart: actually. no
[15:45] <bieb> stefg I had looked there.. the Presario at Circuit City is not listed. Thats why I figured if anyone else has been looking at them or already owns one

[15:46] <ericvw> hey, how can i remote desktop to my ubuntu desktop at home
[15:46] <bazhang> ourumov: try pendrivelinux dot com
[15:46] <stefg> bieb: waht you really need to know is the chipset/motherboard and graphics chip.
[15:46] <ericvw> My computer restarted, but I don't think it will let me VNC because I am not logged in
[15:46] <ericvw> is this true?
[15:46] <ArthurArchnix> bastid_raZor: This command: rm -rf *.db isn't going into subfolders... neither does it with a capital R
[15:46] <bieb> stefg wireless card also?
[15:46] <stefg> bieb: right.
[15:46] <bieb> cool
[15:46] <Whitor> Slart: no change in behavior
[15:47] <Slart> Whitor: and the route table? changed?
[15:47] <Whitor> Slart: yup... much shorter
[15:47] <Slart> but link-local still has a metric of 0?
[15:47] <Jack_Sparrow> ericvw: from a second ubuntu machine or windows machine
[15:47] <Whitor> still: default         192.168.147.1   0.0.0.0         UG    100    0        0 eth0
[15:48] <methods[laptop]> someone give me a hint really quick please ?
[15:48] <stefg> bieb: so intel and nvidia chipsets do usually give the least problems, while Ati drivers suck (yet), and exotic mobo chipsets might give you acpi trouble (suspend not working, nboot trouble)
[15:48] <Whitor> This is bizzare
[15:48] <ericvw> Jack_Sparrow:  I am going form Windows -> Ubuntu.  It worked locally within my network at home, but I had to SSH from outside and restart my Ubuntu box, and know I can't get VNC to connect.  It just says connection is refused.
[15:48] <Whitor> I'm glad its bizzare for other people too
[15:48] <ericvw> Jack_Sparrow: I even logged into a Windows maching remotely within the network trying to use VNC viewer so I know it is not my router
[15:48] <bieb> stefg  I will stay away from ATI
[15:49] <Jack_Sparrow> ericvw: I assume you have already setup          system/pref/remote desktop
[15:49] <bieb> intel vs AMD?
[15:49] <DM|> bieb for now yes, they made some drivers open source finally though, from what i read
[15:49] <bieb> good? bad? ugly?
[15:49] <ericvw> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah.  I am fairly confident with Unix, but I am just unsure that the reason why I can't connect is because I am not past the login screen of Ubuntu because of the restart
[15:49] <Slart> Whitor: hmm.. seems metric isn't used by recent kernels.. unless you're running some routing software
[15:49] <ijk> I have no idea why, but my "Desktop" folder is currently set to my homedir. Any hint on how to set it back to ~/Desktop ?
[15:49] <Whitor> Slart: I am not
[15:49] <mark488> in gparted, I set it to make new partitions, but it keeps mounting the first one and stopping 'cause it says it can't format a mounted partition.  Any help?  (why in the world it it automatically automounting partitions?)
[15:50] <Whitor> Slart: but I am running VMWare... I wonder if that could be contributing ...
[15:50] <Pici> ArthurArchnix: find /path/to/files -name "*\.db" -exec rm -f {} should work.  test it with removing the part past and including -exec to make sure its getting the right files.
[15:50] <ArthurArchnix> Well that's upsetting.
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> ericvw: You dont have current physical access to the ub machine..?
[15:50] <ArthurArchnix> All my music is gone.
[15:50] <stefg> bieb: cpu isn't the problem, it's the mobo chipset. so my favourite Combo is AMD/nforce/nvidia , but intel-cpu/intel-chipset/intel-graphics works well, too
[15:50] <Whitor> Slart: but I'm not doing this through a vmware session... so Idk...
[15:50]  * ArthurArchnix looks around bewildered.
[15:50] <Slart> Whitor: it shouldn't be messing up your regular networking... but who knows..
[15:50] <Pici> ArthurArchnix: What command did you run?
[15:51] <ArthurArchnix> rm -Rf *.db /mnt/locker/Music
[15:51] <Whitor> Slart: lol! obviously not me
[15:51] <Jack_Sparrow> ericvw: Sorry, got to go, wife is giving me that "LOOK"  everyone please play nice.  Sorry if I was a little testy today...  Pici, keep up the good work
[15:51] <bieb> stefg  thanks for that info
[15:51] <Slart> whitor =)
[15:51] <Pici> ArthurArchnix: You just told it to remove *.db AND /mnt/locker/Music
[15:51] <ericvw> Jack_Sparrow: no worries I will figure it out
[15:51] <[Ramy]> ikonia , what do you think ?
[15:52] <Dekkard> question.. can I install Firefox beta 1 on gustsy, using the official Firefox installer and NOT bork my system?
[15:52] <Whitor> Slart: ... get this.... ping server1.avc.local works within a windows VMWare session :)
[15:52] <Whitor> so does http
[15:52] <ArthurArchnix> Pici: I don't even want to tell you the command I tried before that.
[15:52] <Whitor> the plot just got ugly
[15:52] <genii> work /away
[15:52] <genii> bah
[15:52] <Slart> Whitor: hmm..so vmware knows how to reach the net.. while the host is fumbling in the dark =)
[15:52] <ijk> =/
[15:53] <Pici> ArthurArchnix: I dont think I want to know either.
[15:53] <Whitor> Slart: the host is able to get out to the net... just not this one host
[15:53] <tussey> is there a way to shift around my data so it doesn't get destroyed when I resize my partitions
[15:53] <Whitor> Slart: but my vmware sesion does ... (as does every other computer on the network)
[15:53] <Whitor> just not my linux computer

[15:55] <Whitor> stefg: that is an awesome command! thanks you !!
[15:55] <tussey> is there a way to shift around my data so it doesn't get destroyed when I resize my partitions
[15:56] <ArthurArchnix> Pici: Thanks. I wasn't even close.
[15:56] <Whitor> brb
[15:56] <Whitor> I suspect ...
[15:56] <tussey> in Partition Editor the yellow represents data correct?
[15:56] <thor> ramza3: chmod a+x <filename>
[15:57] <Whitor> stefg: command worked... but no dice
[15:57] <mark488> in gparted, I set it to make new partitions, but it keeps mounting the first one and stopping 'cause it says it can't format a mounted partition.  Any help?  (why in the world it it automatically automounting partitions?)
[15:57] <Profanephobia> tussey, yes
[15:57] <ArthurArchnix> I think I did some real damage though. I'm going to have to create a new user. Nothing is working. Thank god I didn't preface any command with sudo.
[15:57] <mark488> tussey, i believe so
[15:57] <stefg> Whitor: a usual suspect is ipv6
[15:57] <stefg> !ipv6 | Whitor
[15:57] <ubotu> Whitor: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[15:57] <ramza3> thor: no dice, it is already executable, but if I try to launch from the desktop, it asks prompts me everytime
[15:58] <tussey> any way to move that data to the far left and right of my hard drive so I can shift around my partition tables?
[15:58] <Whitor> stefg: thx
[15:58] <thor> ramza3: did you begin the script with #!/bin/sh
[15:58] <ourumov> bazhang: thanks, but didn't solve. problem is another.
[15:58] <ramza3> thor: every script does that
[15:58] <thor> ramza3: just checking
[15:58] <Profanephobia> tussey, yes you can move partitions however be prepared for a very long wait depending upon the volume of data
[15:58] <DM|> ok maybe im confused
[15:58] <DM|> sudo cp copies a file to a destination right?
[15:59] <tussey> PRof, will partition editor attempt to move the data for me?
[15:59] <thor> ramza3: did you check the file properties (ls -l) to make sure it is executable?
[15:59] <Profanephobia> tussey, yes it will
[15:59] <tussey> ok thank you
[15:59] <tussey> you da man!
[15:59] <stefg> tussey: never go without a backup when attempting this.
[15:59] <Profanephobia> tussey, first umount the partition then right click and select move/resize
[15:59] <ramza3> thor, try it on your desktop.  create a file, a shell script and then click on it.  you will always get a prompt asking if you want to run this executable text file
[15:59] <tussey> k ty
[16:00] <Profanephobia> tussey, but yeah backup!

[16:01] <PirateHead> sparky_here: With my removable drive, it works if I plug it in and then reboot.
[16:01] <sparky_here> i tried no love
[16:01] <PirateHead> stefg: It is a normal CD drive, built into my laptop.

[16:02] <stefg> Whitor: theoretically... if you manage to resolve all the dependencies
[16:02] <ourumov> stefg: i've read the links, but nothing solved my problem, perhaps i should explain it more clearly
[16:02] <ramza3> thor: it seems like all of my apps on my desktop are of mimetype "application/x-desktop"  and have launcher properties, I wonder if I can create something similar
[16:02] <Whitor> stefg:  I'll reboot :)
[16:02] <sparky_here> let me get my kernel
[16:02] <stefg> ourumov: good idea
[16:02] <Whitor> brb
[16:02] <ramza3> oh there, I go, "create launcher"
[16:02] <ourumov> stefg: ;)
[16:02] <eckesicle> I saw the funniest acronym for microsoft today.
[16:02] <thor> ramza3: that mimetype is defined in the .desktop file if I remember correctly

[16:04] <Azrael24> hi guys...loving the Gutsy Gibbons....I'd like to get a decent sound/audio card for it to make it into a multimedia center - what's a good sound card anyone?
[16:04] <Profanephobia> Azrael24, internal or external?
[16:04] <tim>  i allready mounted iso u jsust want wine to beable to regozie it
[16:04] <Azrael24> internal
[16:04] <tim> plz help me guys...
[16:04] <Alin> hello
[16:04] <Alin> i have a problem with the login form
[16:05] <Pici> tim: What are you trying to do?
[16:05] <Azrael24> I just want to get a great soundcard that's very workable with Linux/Ubuntu
[16:05] <ourumov> stefg: I'm able to mount partition in debian (also installed, root = /dev/hda5). Now I'm stuck while installing ubuntu. Ubunto searches for /dev/cdrom but can't find one. My plan was to point ubuntu-install to some location on (now) /dev/sda5. BUT I can't mount this partition, altough I'm able to 'cat' it!
[16:05] <Azrael24> currently, the onboard card doesn't even work with it
[16:05] <Alin> it appears "Authentication failed" without pressing any key
[16:05] <sparky_here> stefg 2.6.22-14 generc
[16:05] <jhaig> What do I need to do to run a DVD in totem?  I can run the media files off the disk but trying to run the disk I get "Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because it does not have the appropriate plugins to be able to read from the disc."  Thanks.
[16:05] <VSpike> bah I always hate it when you have to resort to windows software
[16:05] <Pici> !dvd > jhaig (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[16:05] <Azrael24> a linux master and I spent too long trying to work on it, but he's been out of the loop for awhile and can't suggest a decent sound card that works great with linux/ubuntu
[16:06] <stefg> ourumov: hmm... udev. does 'sudo fdisk -l' list it ?
[16:06] <tvisto> Hi everyone I know its kinda strange question but When I connect from Ubuntu to Windows printer it asks me to choose printer from list r or ppd file but neither i can do. Can anyoen advise anything?
[16:06] <stefg> sparky_here: have you tried different USB connectors already ?
[16:06] <ourumov> stefg: error message is "invalid arguments" without -t argument, and "no device" with 'mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /mnt'
[16:06] <sparky_here>  tried fire wire and all my usb ports
[16:07] <sparky_here> it works fine with windows
[16:07] <mosibfu> Azrael24: i have a club 3d sound card, it converts stereo to 5.1 dolby, hardware, great sound quality, and works out the box (club 3d has 3 cards from same line with same chip, all 3 shuld work)
[16:07] <Alin> can anyone help me ?
[16:07] <tvisto> depends what u got
[16:07] <ourumov> stefg: I'm during install of ubuntu => i'm root anyway. Sadly no 'fdsisk' command avaiable (??)!
[16:07] <ourumov> stefg: *fdisk
[16:07] <Azrael24> club 3d sound card?  never heard of it...I'll see if local stores here carry it, thanks...doesn't linux work flawlessly with sound blaster?
[16:07] <mosibfu> Azrael24: if im right, a club 3d theathron DD
[16:07] <stefg> ourumov: how did you make that partition ? is it really type 83, and you have a proper partition table and valid superblock on that?
[16:07] <d1n0> Anyone got experience with (Norsk-tipping.no's)-buypass-unit, and if I can get it to work with Ubuntu?!
[16:08] <stefg> ourumov: fdisk -l
[16:08] <ourumov> stefg: sure, It's a working debian root partition
[16:08] <yellabs_> maybe its an hidden partition?
[16:08] <mosibfu> Azrael24: erm, i wouldnt know, its been ages (read pentium 1 199 mhz) since ive used a sound blaster card
[16:08] <tvisto> Alin: what's ur problem?
[16:09] <ourumov> stefg: made with debian install those days ...
[16:09] <Azrael24> same here...been using onboard sound cards since those days
[16:09] <kinroad> !libdvdcss2 |jhaig
[16:09] <ubotu> jhaig: 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
[16:09] <Azrael24> realtek, cmedia, etc...but not sound blaster
[16:09] <tvisto> I can't find a driver for my cannon printer or ppd file for it; what can I do?
[16:09] <ourumov> stefg: 'fdisk' is not available in "busybox" (during install before base system)
[16:09] <mosibfu> Azrael24: same here, i bought the club 3d card cuz it makes mp3's sound better and it converts stereo to dolbey hardware wise, so no drivers needed
[16:10] <ourumov> stefg: could that be?
[16:10] <Azrael24> my onboard cmedia sound card doesn't even register a peep with ubuntu, but when I go into WINE mode to play a game, sound is lively...very weird
[16:10] <stefg> ourumov: ah.... you are in the initrd's dash.
[16:10] <yellabs_> tvisto try drivers as close as you can get to your model and see if it works
[16:10] <mosibfu> !sound | Azrael24
[16:10] <ubotu> Azrael24: 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
[16:10] <mosibfu> Azrael24: if wine takes it, linux shuld aswell..
[16:11] <tvisto> yellabs: thanks i try that
[16:11] <ourumov> stefg: jo, sorry i have confused you
[16:11] <Azrael24> true...went into that sound setting and tried alsa, usb audio, etc...and it fails with an error
[16:11] <billenium> how do i move something from music to /export? (i am in the directory music is in)
[16:11] <stefg> ourumov: so what are your options to boot that machine? no cd, no usb ... hmmm.
[16:11] <mosibfu> Azrael24: most of settings fail with an error here aswell, but automatic + alsa works as a charm
[16:11] <onats> hey guys, off topic. which is better? 2 GB of dual channel, or 3 GB of single channel?
[16:11] <Azrael24> even researching on the net, it works for 'them', but not so for me...which leads me to conclude i may have a bork setting somewhere
[16:12] <Azrael24> you mean Automakix?
[16:12] <Azrael24> err...something like that
[16:12] <mosibfu> onats: dual channel gets written 2 ram bars at a time, so that is faster
[16:12] <Jakobsen> What do I need, if I want power management and suspend-mode on a Thinkpad T60?
[16:12] <mosibfu> Azrael24: no, just the standard ubuntu stuff, automatix just breaks stuff
[16:12] <Azrael24> oh I see
[16:12] <ourumov> stefg: grub is installed and I'm able to boot every image ...   this i was booting ubuntu install
[16:12] <Pici> !automatix
[16:12] <ubotu> automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[16:12] <onats> mosibfu, so you'd choose just 2GB, but in dual channel, instead of 3GB?
[16:12] <onats> mosibfu, so you'd choose just 2GB, but in dual channel, instead of 3GB, single channel?
[16:13] <Azrael24> oh?  you guys frown on automatix?
[16:13] <mosibfu> onats: yes, that will improve the loading times more
[16:13] <ourumov> stefg: I only need to get the iso/respectively its data mounting
[16:13] <lietu_> any ideas why initially my dualhead setup works fine(in KDM login screen), but when I log in, the other screen dies? this is on kubuntu 7.10, radeon x300, oss "ati" driver and xrandr
[16:13] <Profanephobia> onats, of course
[16:13] <selinuxium> Hi all, I have a bluetooth PCMCIA card and I cannot get it to work. Any help gratefully received!
[16:13] <Pici> Azrael24: Not just us, the Ubuntu developers do too.
[16:13] <mosibfu> Azrael24: automatix cause me to have to reinstall the pc
[16:13] <selinuxium> !automatix
[16:13] <ubotu> automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[16:13] <onats> alright, bought the wrong motherboard and ram configs! can't maximize the dual channel!
[16:13] <Azrael24> I see...I'll look up that link
[16:13] <ourumov> stefg: how could it be that 'mount /dev/sda5 /mnt'  does not work?
[16:13] <scottfro> so why it that when i delete a file thats on another harddrive it ends up in a hidden folder on that drive called ".trash"?
[16:14] <Azrael24> I'm kind of embarrassed  lol
[16:14] <VSpike> is there any similar evidence/analysis for envy, or is it based on anecdotal experience here?
[16:14] <onats> what's the best way to test performance?
[16:14] <Pici> !envy | VSpike yes
[16:14] <ubotu> VSpike yes: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[16:14] <yellabs_> scottfro : thats normal for linux
[16:14] <greedo__> i enabled samba on my ubuntu box, but windows cannot connect to it saying "host inacessible" or somehow error message, what could be the reason please ? (no there is no firewall, it's on a lan)
[16:14] <mosibfu> onats: to test memory preformance, use the memtest (in grub) and booting ubuntu itself (read, the time it takes to bood) is also a good way to see if your ram setup is faster/slower
[16:14] <VSpike> Pici: ah ok the text has changed - it used to say it would break your system
[16:15] <Pici> VSpike: Although since Envy is developed by an Ubuntu member, it might not share as many as the really bad issues.  But you really don't need it.
[16:15] <scottfro> yellabs_: how do i get rid of the files in there?  i try to delete them manually but they just reappear
[16:15] <ourumov> stefg: once again: 'mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /mnt' print "No such device". But 'cat /dev/sda5' works!
[16:15] <yellabs_> mosibfu : probably not
[16:15] <VSpike> Pici: i used it in feisty to get the latest driver because of bugs in the packaged one
[16:15] <onats> mosibfu, yes..i tried that.. it showed 333 when all dimms are populated...:(
[16:15] <stefg> ourumov: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux have you tried this? I'm not sure if the installer initrd has ext3 capabilities, since it's tailored towards squashfs
[16:15] <VSpike> Pici: now I get the same driver packaged, so you're right :)
[16:16] <punkle> hi
[16:16] <mosibfu> yellabs_: booting ubuntu is a good way to show how fast stuff gets loaded into ram, (if you change ram setups, and not the rest of your system)
[16:16] <billenium> whenever i do: cp /home/guest/Documents /export it just says cp: omitting directory `/home/guest/Documents '
[16:16] <billenium> how do i fix that?
[16:16] <VSpike> Pici: just always thought it was a bit harsh the way ubotu seemed to lump it in with automatix
[16:16] <yellabs_> for system testing use third party tools, non free hirens for example
[16:16] <subzero265> hi folks
[16:16] <Profanephobia> billenium, cp -r
[16:16] <Pici> VSpike: We went through a lot of the commonly used factoids recently and reworded them to be more accurate.
[16:16] <VSpike> Pici: that new one seems much better
[16:17] <LjL> VSpike: still anyway, it breaks systems.
[16:17] <stefg> billenium: have a look at <man cp> and the -r switch
[16:17] <mosibfu> yellabs_: true, those stuff give numbers as results, but we want preformance in a real situation, as booting ubuntu etc.
[16:17] <punkle> how do i navigate to a usb stick drive called UDISK 2.0??? I have tried cd /media/UDISK 2.0 but it doesnt seem to work
[16:17] <KlrSpz> how do i get acroread on ubuntu? this pdf viewer default sucks ballz
[16:17] <VSpike> ljl: is there any similar evidence/analysis for that, or is it based on anecdotal experience here?
[16:17]  * billenium huggles profanephobia
[16:17] <KlrSpz> acroread is not a valid package name!!!
[16:17] <stefg> !acrobat
[16:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about acrobat - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:17] <subzero265> does somebody use ubuntu7.04 on a thinkpad a31p?
[16:17] <greedo> i enabled samba on my ubuntu box, but windows cannot connect to it saying "host inacessible" or somehow error message, what could be the reason please ? (no there is no firewall, it's on a lan)
[16:17] <LjL> VSpike: ... the link in the factoid?
[16:18] <KlrSpz> greedo: you have to CONFIGURE samba too
[16:18] <stefg> !seveas | KlrSpz
[16:18] <ubotu> KlrSpz: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for Feisty and earlier for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - And he's getting married!
[16:18] <isofunk> sup?
[16:18] <ehird`> is there a package for http://armedbear.org/j.html? it's kind of hard to search for "J"
[16:18] <KlrSpz> stefg: thanks.. never heard of this repo yet... i'll give it a whirl
[16:18] <KlrSpz> why isn't acroread in the main repo?
[16:18] <scottfro> yellabs_: how do i get rid of the files .trash?  i try to delete them manually but they just reappear...it seems they are still taking up disk space
[16:18] <VSpike> LjL: I'm referring to the analysis in the factoid for automatix, wondering if anyone has analysed envy in a similar way
[16:18] <greedo> KlrSpz: well any other linux box can access the share (shared by feisty), only windows boxes can't :(
[16:19] <Whitor> Slart: stefg: adding baacklist ipv6 to modeprobe.d didn't work... the issue persists
[16:19] <yellabs_> acroread is third party non free
[16:19] <stefg> KlrSpz: it's nonfree software, and usually has unfixed vulnerablities
[16:19] <KlrSpz> acroread is free
[16:19] <yellabs_> non free source code
[16:19] <KlrSpz> i just compiled it on my gentoo box just fine
[16:19] <stefg> KlrSpz: beerfree != speechfree
[16:19] <VSpike> Guys, I installed kubuntu 7.10 and then installed ubuntu-desktop... now I have a huge bunch of kde junk like kde control panel applets etc in my "Other" menu.  Is there a good way to fix this?
[16:20] <LjL> VSpike: ah. perhaps not, there's not so many ubuntu developers with enough free time to thoroughly check all the dubious scripts that people write. anyway, there's nothing particularly mysterious: what we *always* recommend here is to use proper packages, and even then, only ever use third-party packages for things that are *applications*, and never libraries that are depended upon by other stuff
[16:20] <anzan> VSpike, you could just hide them.
[16:20] <LjL> VSpike: so a script that installs something in awkward ways is simply bad from our POV.
[16:21] <KlrSpz> k i'll try it out
[16:22] <helpme> hello
[16:22] <yellabs_> hello help me
[16:22] <Whitor> hello helpme
[16:22] <helpme> how do i uninstall a .bin file via terminal?
[16:22] <yellabs_> hehe
[16:22] <KlrSpz> stefg: so this is only for fiesty, does that matter?
[16:22] <helpme> i installed it manually so i cant use Synaptic
[16:22] <VSpike> LjL: you're right, although it always strikes me that it tries to be as good as it can be, givem what it does.  It's probably better than people trying to install the nvidia binaries by hand.
[16:22] <LjL> helpme: "uninstall a file"? what on earth would that mean?
[16:22] <VSpike> anzan: true
[16:22] <yellabs_> what package?
[16:22] <KlrSpz> oh, maybe it's just the mirrors i'm looking at :S
[16:22] <Whitor> helpme: how did oyu install it ?
[16:23] <helpme> i installed the java runtime environment package through the terminal
[16:23] <selinuxium> helpme: a bin is just a file...
[16:23] <amaache_> Hi How to switch keyboards (from fr to us)
[16:23] <Whitor> helpme: what is the command you used to install it ?
[16:23] <LjL> VSpike: still worse than people installing them from relatively reputable third-party repositories, although such repositories have not always been available
[16:23] <Xacarith> any one know much about things like socket.gaierror: (-5'No address associated with host name')
[16:23] <stefg> KlrSpz: you will be prompted for missing dependencies, so you could try. But getdeb.net or google might turn up a gutsy package, so i'd search first
[16:23] <helpme> i typed ./FILENAME here
[16:23] <KlrSpz> k
[16:23] <Whitor> helpme: it was executable ?
[16:23] <helpme> yeah
[16:24] <helpme> but the file name ended with .bin
[16:24] <LjL> VSpike: also, i don't agree it's necessarily better. if they installed it manually, they'd at least know (at least so one would hope) what they did. using such scripts, we simply have no idea what happened on their system
[16:24] <VSpike> LjL: yeah I could never get third party repos to work for me, but that would be a better option its true
[16:24] <tvisto_root> Hello chaps
[16:24] <zeeed> hi ppl
[16:24] <helpme> it's now installed in my /usr/bin folder
[16:24] <VSpike> LjL: it would depend on the level of the user
[16:24] <Whitor> helpme: then there is no telling what it could have done ... w/o reading the .bin file itself
[16:24] <tvisto_root> Anyone knows how to update the database of known printers on local ubuntu?
[16:24] <ourumov2> stefg: sorry, was offline, changed my nick adn registered it....
[16:24] <Whitor> helpme: if you simply want to get rid iof the file ... use rm
[16:24] <LjL> helpme, you've messed up your system. unless that .bin file also provides or acts as an uninstaller, you won't be able to easily remove the stuff you installed. the Java runtime *is in the repositories*, so i don't see why you'd have used a .bin in the first place.

[16:29] <helpme> the file installed a folder with a whole lot of other things
[16:29] <ehird`> :/
[16:29] <helpme> the main folder is named jre1.6.0_03
[16:30] <kinroad> zeeed: i think it is somethinglike /etc/motd
[16:30] <ericvw> Is there a command to check if a particular process is running by the process name?
[16:30] <helpme> so basically its /usr/bin/jre1.6.0_03
[16:30] <ericvw> For example, "vncserver"
[16:30] <KlrSpz> gerhard: i beileve it's what's called a 4cc conversion
[16:30] <zeeed> kinroad: thanks...but i've already check that
[16:30] <KlrSpz> ericvw: ps aux |grep vncserver
[16:30] <gerhard> so i need a tool called 4cc?
[16:30] <helpme> how do i remove that directory?
[16:30] <ericvw> K1rSpz, thanks
[16:31] <juanez> helpme: sudo rm  -rf /usr/bin/jre1.6.0_03    (but it maynot be what you want to do .. but thats how you remove the directory)
[16:32] <helpme> ok thanks
[16:32] <amaache_> Hi how to switch keyboard from fr to us
[16:32] <KlrSpz> gerhard: it's been a while since i've messed with that.. windows had a small tool that would change the CC headers... duno how to do it in linux that easily

[16:32] <helpme> what are the consequences though juanez? does it destroy my linux?
[16:32] <LjL> helpme, i wonder how you can say "it worked"... anyway, please read the following carefully before installing more software

[16:34] <_2> could i get a little networking help here    or is there a better channel for that ?
[16:34] <stefg> !doesn't work
[16:34] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[16:34] <kokonutssss> Guys, how can i make my sound card work?
[16:35] <kokonutssss> ehrmm
[16:35] <stefg> kokonutssss: what does 'aplay -l' tell about your card ?
[16:35] <LjL> alber1: try newgrp, the man page says it should add you to the current group set (as well as logging you in as the given group, which is its primary function)

[16:38] <bert> hi everyone, I'm searching for a presentation about OS, linux and ubuntu (some kind of introduction), to use on a school, has onyone got an idea where I shoudl search for this ?
[16:38] <Xacarith> last try  socket.gaierror: (-5, 'No address associated with hostname')
[16:38] <alber1> anyone know how to add a user with a precalculated hash for the pw as an argument?
[16:38] <MenZa> bosworth: wine? sudo aptitude remove wine && rm -rf ~/.wine
[16:38] <LjL> alber1, only if the group is password protected (anyway, what are you trying to achieve? why would a password prompt be a problem?)
[16:38] <MenZa> bosworth: should do the trick
[16:38] <ourumov2> stefg: no, that didn't work
[16:38] <Dr_willis> bert,  the ubuntu homepage - for a start.
[16:38] <Teknomancer> i've installed the compizconfig-settings, but i still can't find a way to disable JUST the workspace  switch animation .. anyone done it before?? Desktop Wall <-- disabling this and i can't switch workspaces anymore..
[16:38] <bert> Dr_willis, I've been there
[16:38] <MenZa> bosworth: sudo apt-get remove wine --purge might help as well
[16:38] <gerhard> oh thats a great tool it can transcode from XviD to XviD
[16:38] <gerhard> just what i need
[16:38] <kinroad> bosworth: apt-get remove --purge wine
[16:38] <gerhard> wonderful
[16:38] <gerhard> what a damn.....
[16:38] <alber1> LjL: i'm trying to add users to a group with a root account, then i want those users to immediately have access to the new areas

[16:39] <stefg> !sound | kokonutssss
[16:39] <ubotu> kokonutssss: 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
[16:39] <Dr_willis> bert,  then theres the forums and wikis, and of course google. Not sure exactly what you want. socant help more.
[16:39] <LjL> alber1, i don't think there's any way to do that unless they type newgrp themselves
[16:39] <bosworth> MenZa: purge is prob waht i'm missing. Ive been through the man-page, but i didn't see it. Thanx MenZa and kinroad
[16:39] <sipior> alber1: modifying the /etc/shadow file directly would be simplest. i don't believe passwd allows you to specify a hashed password...
[16:39] <Dr_willis> bert,  you mean like a 'powerpoint' presentation? Theres one included in the default/example docs dir. :)
[16:39] <MenZa> bosworth: rm -rf ~/.wine might help as well
[16:39] <alber1> LjL: so sad!
[16:39] <bert> yeah, something like that presentation, but more detailed
[16:40] <bosworth> MenZa: will try it :-D
[16:40] <alber1> sipior: yeah that's what i was thinking but that's not as cool
[16:40] <bert> explaining like, what's an OS, what's Linux and GNU
[16:40] <bert> en then going to the ubuntu topic
[16:40] <dlapoint> bert: make one, or build onto that one?
[16:40] <bert> yeah, I was thinking of that
[16:40] <bert> but if it already existed I hoped to just use thatr
[16:40] <ourumov2> stefg: do I need the other files in ISO/boot?? I only copied vmlinuz and initrd?
[16:40] <jesus> I love Ubuntu!:)
[16:40] <bert> well, thanks then, i'll start making one myself then ;);)
[16:40] <dlapoint> mhm
[16:41] <Maenad> is php disabled in apache by default in ubuntu when you apt-get install apache2 and php5?
[16:41] <alber1> would it be ok to manually add new users/hashes to /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow or would there be some unwanted sideeffects (like no home or w/e)
[16:41] <jpastore> jesus, so do I =) if I could get just a few issues worked out I might be able to leave windows in a vbox =)
[16:41] <dlapoint> Wow, can we officially claim that "Jesus loves Ubuntu" now?
[16:41] <dlapoint> I would put that sticker on my car ;)
[16:41] <bert> Maenad, you should check whether the php binding for apache are installed too

[16:41] <sipior> we can now advertise that Jesus Loves Ubuntu
[16:41] <stefg> ourumov2: sorry, i never tried that. but common sense tells me that kernel and initrd is sufficient to mout the .iso
[16:42] <dlapoint> LjL, how was that off topic?
[16:42] <jesus> haha, sipior. Of course!
[16:42] <bert> say, does anyone know whether there is software to build your own ubuntu liveCD ???

[16:43] <LjL> dlapoint: that's where the "feeding the troll" part comes in.
[16:43] <dlapoint> It's not like I joined, and said "lolz ubuntu roolz!"
[16:43] <test___> If i moved file from Hard drive (d:/) to flash disk (f:/) (Shift + Drag and drop) , is it possible to recover the files from the hard disk?
[16:43] <FerOttoman> is the zelda 2 coming for the WII ?
[16:43]  * FSM loves ubuntu 
[16:44] <dajhorn> test___: Very difficult, unless you were using an older filesystem like FAT or EXT2.
[16:44] <stefg> test___: ##winows is next door
[16:44] <Dr_willis> FerOttoman,  thers 2 zelda games out allready for the wii i think.

[16:44] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[16:44] <_2> anyone good with network issues ?     i need some fresh perspective.   something i don't have configured correctly here.   anyone ?
[16:44] <ourumov2> Does anybody know why it could happen that I can't mount an (correct) ext3 partiiton while in ubuntu initrd dash (busybox) - error: "No such device" - BUT I can 'cat' the device.
[16:45] <sipior> _2: what's the trouble?
[16:45] <dajhorn> test___: Try the 'scalpel' or 'testdisk' or 'mondo' packages.
[16:45] <jpastore> so I wanted to know how the repair mode for ubuntu works if I boot off the live cd or dvd...basically I pooched the file permissions in /etc and I want to repair those so certain things work...
[16:45] <bert> does anyone know whether there is a way (program or something) to make your own ubuntu liveCD's ?
[16:45] <_2> sipior this box is supposed to connect two lan's but it's not working out for me
[16:45] <VSpike> Ah, the Gnome Menu Extended package does the trick nicely
[16:45] <dajhorn> test___: Filesystem recovery tools are mostly in the universe repository.
[16:45] <_2> http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d526252d4 sipior
[16:45] <VSpike> I used to use the KDE version and it works really well
[16:45] <jpastore> fortunately sudo told me that because it's not 0644 it's not running...that was easy....my power button and laptop lid closing is giving me a policy timeout now
[16:46] <jpastore> I suspect it's due to this same issue
[16:46] <kinroad> ourumov2: fsck it
[16:46] <test___> dajhorn I do use filerecory tools but it file not listed?
[16:46] <stefg> ourumov2: the installer might simply have no ext3 support compiled in, and no module within the initrd. all it needs is mount a squashfs .iso on a iso9660 medium
[16:46] <JimGrey> grrrrrrr.........
[16:46] <atselby> morning all, ive been looking for if there is a way to specificy the order of which things startup from the sessions auto start. is this possible? thanks
[16:46] <jpastore> it's also not automounting thins like my external hdd, ipod etc...
[16:47] <dajhorn> test___: I don't understand the question.  (BTW, if you are actually on a Windows computer, then you must go elsewhere for help.)
[16:47] <stefg> ourumov2: so you might try a insmod ext3
[16:47] <test___> ok thanks.
[16:47] <sipior> _2: so, forwarding between 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.0.0 doesn't work?
[16:47] <_2> sipior from the *1.0 side i can ping as far as the other eth card in the *.6 box  but that's as far as she goes.
[16:47] <kinroad> ourumov2: if you try to fsck -f /dev/sdxx does it work?
[16:47] <pccp> can anyone help me build a gtk engine from source?  I keep getting errors but i think i have all the dependencies installed
[16:48] <ourumov2> kinroad: it surely does, but i will test it.... one moment
[16:48] <_2> sipior correct.    i have ipmasq and dnsmasq running also.
[16:48] <dallasd> hi room this is my first time using linux
[16:48] <philip_> Wow this is so much better than vista
[16:48] <sipior> _2: can you cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward?
[16:49] <bert> does anyone know whether there is a way (program or something) to make your own ubuntu liveCD's ?

[16:52] <dajhorn> atselby: "System -> Preferences -> Session -> Current Session"  + "Order" should get the desired result.
[16:52] <sipior> _2: and if you flush all iptables rules, does it work then?
[16:53] <sipior> _2: except for the ipmasq rule, of course :)
[16:53] <atselby> dajhorn, i dont see that anywhere.. huhm.
[16:53] <ourumov2> stefg: but I can't imagine ext2/3 is not inlcuded in image!?
[16:54] <dajhorn> atselby: Session ordering is available in Gutsy, but it may not be available in earlier releases.
[16:54] <atselby> dajhorn, current session?
[16:54] <_2> sipior i think that just hangs the box's networking...
[16:54] <atselby> dajhorn, i am on gutsy, granted i did a dist-upgrade.. could that be the problem with it not being here?
[16:54] <_2> sipior i think that just hangs the box's networking...
[16:54] <dajhorn> atselby: What tabs do you have in the session dialog?
[16:54] <d1n0> can you install windows vista, then ubuntu? or ubuntu first etc? if you're gonna use a dualboot system, without messing it up.
[16:55] <sipior> _2: well, leaving in place the rule needed to forward traffic. there's no default rule that throwing packets away?
[16:55] <atselby> dajhorn, Startup Programs, Current Session, Session Options
[16:55] <ourumov2> stefg: i have one option left: use debian installer which autodetect ISO. Would this work to install ubuntu correctly?
[16:55] <_2> sipior nothing network related works when i flush it.
[16:55] <Imperial> after i have installed screen irssi openssh-server openssh-client , added port forwarding on my router to send port 22 to the correct internal ip... is there anything else i need to do before i can putty into it?
[16:55] <dajhorn> atselby: Click the "Current Session" tab and notice the "order" column.
[16:55] <stefg> ourumov2: that's just the installer kernel, which needs to be as minimalistic as possible to not hinder hw-autodetection. once it got itself booted it'll find an ext3 in /lib/modules... chicken-egg-problem
[16:56] <_2> sipior can you give me an example for that rule ?
[16:56] <atselby> dajhorn, thats it? sorry, i thought that would not have been it, since its in current. so changing those values should let me choose in what order they launch?
[16:56] <sipior> _2: that's odd, you should still be able to contact both networks from the central machine (just not passing packets)
[16:56] <stefg> ourumov2: i don't know, but i'd try to put the iso on a fat formatted usb stick
[16:56] <dajhorn> atselby: I believe so. Put your local customization at priority 60 or higher.
[16:56] <_2> sipior when i did   iptables -F   this irc hung   had to reconnect.   and culdn't ping anything...
[16:57] <atselby> dajhorn, alright, thank you
[16:57] <allenc> Hi, I am trying to add a printer and it finds the printer okay and apparently installs the drivers but nothing will print.  Can anyone help me troubleshoot it?
[16:57] <ourumov2> stefg: ;)  my fat32 partition can't be mounted too
[16:57] <sipior> _2: are you connecting from the machine in the middle, connected to both networks?
[16:57] <_2> sipior yes that's the one i'm working on and talking from
[16:58] <sipior> _2: hmm...bizarre. may i ask how you set up the iptables rules?
[16:58] <bulmer> allenc  if you put this on your browser localhost:631 are you able to manage the printer?
[16:58] <ourumov2> stefg: I don't think its a fs problem...
[16:59] <bulmer> _2 that is because the default for flushing maybe be drop for Forward policy
[16:59] <gsuveg> gvim can work with gnome-vfs ?
[16:59] <_2> sipior it's a hack from the "quicktables" script   i ran the script and hacked it for the special application... it seems that it's not designed for this kind of use.
[17:00] <sipior> _2: bulmer but he would still be able to connect directly to his modem from the machine that straddles the two networks
[17:00] <bulmer> sipio he has to look at the default policy after flushing..just iptables -vL should show it
[17:00] <bulmer> sipior he has to look at the default policy after flushing..just iptables -vL should show it
[17:01] <atma_> congratulations
[17:01] <atma_> the ubuntu 7.10 is "neat" even for a hardcore gentoo user
[17:01] <allenc> bulmer:yes
[17:01] <sipior> _2: bulmer could you try that, _2? flush the tables, and then pastebin the output of iptables -vL?
[17:01] <_2> sipior bulmer i can check that.  but it will take a sec.
[17:01] <_2> brb
[17:01] <Bollinger> Im trying to get sound working on urbanterror. I see this error "ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:831:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC semaphore" whats wrong?
[17:02] <allenc> bulmer: /usr/lib/cups/filter/brfaxfilter failed"
[17:02] <_2> sipior & bulmer  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d255290c8
[17:03] <TheShadow> Alright how do I enable syntax higlighting in vim?
[17:03] <stefg> ourumov2: i'm almost certain that the installer kernel has no builtin support for a specific filesystem, but relies on the modules in /lib/modules. but you don't have that already when you are still in the initrd fs
[17:03] <bulmer> allenc-> while managing the printer from web browser, can you send a test page to it?
[17:04] <bulmer> _2 here is your clue Chain INPUT (policy DROP ..  Chain FORWARD (policy DROP
[17:04] <sipior> bulmer: _2 yep, that would be the problem
[17:04] <_2> ok so the simple question.    howto correct that ?
[17:05]  * _2 is iptables illiterate you know....
[17:05] <bulmer> add a policy to ACCEPT it
[17:05] <allenc> bulmer: no... and if I delete it and re-add it the printer model # isn't listed in the drivers area... it's a brother mfc-5460cn... are there just not linux drivers for it?
[17:05] <_2> bulmer i thought that's what i just -F flushed ???
[17:06] <_2> http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d526252d4 bulmer
[17:06] <sipior> bulmer: _2 actually, set the policy, with the -P option
[17:07] <bulmer> allenc umm you may have to play around with a driver closest to it and see if those works..there are gazillion printer models..difficult to get their model numbers right...
[17:08] <_2> so if i add a policy to forward packets   to the existing rules i should be good ???
[17:08]  * _2 goes to hack his script some more....
[17:08] <allenc> bulmer: ok... thanks
[17:09] <sipior> bulmer: _2 should be something like "iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT", iirc
[17:09] <bulmer> _2 set the INPUT policy for now to ACCEPT
[17:10] <bulmer> sipior thats correct
[17:10] <jamiejackson> my desktop effects just started crawling today, for some reason. is there a quick toggle somewhere to disable compiz-fusion in general?
[17:10] <bulmer> _2 http://www.linuxexposed.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=107  this is my quick reference, good stuff
[17:11] <VSpike> jamiejackson: system -> preferences -> appearance
[17:11] <allenc> bulmer: I want drivers for Debian right?
[17:11] <jamiejackson> VSpike: thanks
[17:11] <jamiejackson> don't suppose anyone else is having this problem suddenly?
[17:11] <sipior> bulmer: that's a handy link, definitely worth a bookmark
[17:11] <systemd0wn> If i install gnome-desktop on a 7.10 server, will it modify the kernel?  And if so can i tell it not to?
[17:12] <bulmer> allenc-> whatever ppd works for your printer...not sure if a distro version is available..
[17:12] <allenc> ok, thanks
[17:12] <guitrokr123> has anyone else had HORRIBLE experiences with upgrading to Gutsy... Feisty worked great, and now nothing works right anymore... gutsy is a HUGE step backwards!
[17:12] <allenc> bulmer: thanks
[17:12] <whabo> hi there guys. How do i get a nice ... APPLE style dock .. with 3D effects???? what should i get? thank you
[17:12] <jamiejackson> gutsy has issues, yes
[17:12] <bulmer> sipior-> yep..his tutorial was the easiest i found
[17:12] <sipior> guitrokr123: not for me, i'm afraid. could you be more specific?
[17:12] <guitrokr123> i can't suspend or hibernate!
[17:12] <bradv> allenc: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/
[17:12] <bulmer> allenc you're welcome
[17:12] <jamiejackson> suspend broke, rdesktop fullscreen broke, won't remember passwords
[17:12] <guitrokr123> i shut down my computer like 9 times a day because i always need to suspend and take it to class
[17:13] <whabo> hi there guys. How do i get a nice ... APPLE style dock .. with 3D effects???? what should i get? thank you
[17:13] <guitrokr123> my resolution is weird now.. my login splash is nonexistent, and now gutsy takes LONGER to boot than windows!  and compiz fails after alil use
[17:13] <VSpike> whabo: kiba may be what oyu want http://www.kiba-dock.org/
[17:13] <TheShadow> vim make
[17:13] <jamiejackson> i preferred feisty, i think. except for the deskbar applet, which seems promising
[17:14] <whabo> thx Vspike
[17:14] <sipior> guitrokr123: hmm...i haven't yet upgraded my laptop to gutsy...perhaps i'll wait awhile...
[17:14] <guitrokr123> please do wait
[17:14] <guitrokr123> until they weed out the bugs
[17:14] <charlesg3> I'm having trouble with desktop effects in gutsy, I have an nvidia card and it is using the nvidia driver
[17:14] <_2> bulmer http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d57561f2c
[17:14] <guitrokr123> i wish so much that there was a reverse option
[17:14] <jamiejackson> oh, evolution's much better in gutsy. thought i'd mention one plus
[17:14] <VSpike> guitrokr123: it screwed my system - just doing a clean install now
[17:14] <guitrokr123> i use thunderbird
[17:14] <Valtor_> i have a weird bug, sometimes when i do a keyboard shortcut, it might get repeated for 3-5 seconds, quite annoying when i press ctrl-w or ctrl-t in firefox.....
[17:14] <SubSonik> Hello all. I am having video problems with my install of gutsy. Any takers to help troubleshoot?
[17:15] <_2> bulmer and sipior   still no good.
[17:15] <guitrokr123> clean install of feisty or gutsy again VSpike?
[17:15] <bulmer> _2 now you're able to get to the network after flushing
[17:15] <VSpike> guitrokr123: it's called restoring the full system backup you took before upgrading, surely? :)
[17:15] <Azer> heh
[17:15] <VSpike> guitrokr123: note, I didnt have one either :D
[17:15] <guitrokr123> haha
[17:15] <VSpike> guitrokr123: gutsy - I'm hoping the upgrade was the problem
[17:15] <jamiejackson> i did do a full system backup, but haven't been quite annoyed enough to restore it yet
[17:15] <_2> bulmer yes  but didn't change the link between networks at all.
[17:15] <jamiejackson> but loss of suspend blows
[17:15] <bulmer> _2 check your route tables...netstat -ran
[17:16] <guitrokr123> VSpike: i would go with feisty
[17:16] <guitrokr123> i loved feisty
[17:16] <SubSonik> the video works, it is just very choppy when I scroll. It is an onboard card, but it worked great in wondows.
[17:16] <lucaser> #django on irc.freenode.net
[17:16] <ourumov2> stefg: Ah, I found hd-media image in 'Index of /ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media' .... let's see
[17:16] <sipior> _2: did you add back the iptables rule for forwarding?
[17:16] <guitrokr123> its what made me a linux user 100%
[17:16] <_2> bulmer http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d470f00dd
[17:16] <Pici> !freenode | lucaser
[17:16] <_2> sipior http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d57561f2c
[17:16] <ubotu> lucaser: freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml
[17:17] <guitrokr123> between feisty and gutsy i lost functionality of so many things, everything is slower, i get crashes and horrible stuff all the time, the only one thing that worked was that a wine install of a windows program i REALLY like finally worked in gutsy... thats the ONLY thing that improved
[17:17] <Nassen_omistaja> I can't get my sounds work in usb soundcard?
[17:17] <guitrokr123> and i'm not sure if that was wine or the new gutsy version that made it possible
[17:17] <grayhane> is there a GUI front end for using PGP ?
[17:17] <SubSonik> Any ideas what it might be? I checked and it seems to recognize the video correctly.
[17:17] <Azer> funny, all my stuff works, and it was an upgrade..
[17:17] <sipior> _2: what do you get with iptables -t nat -L ?
[17:17] <bulmer> _2 sorry i jumped in the middle, how is the network layout like? what is connected to which? elaborate on your network layout
[17:17] <Pici> grayhane: seahorse
[17:18] <systemd0wn> If i install gnome-desktop on a 7.10 server, will it modify the kernel?  And if so can i tell it not to?
[17:18] <grayhane> Pici, thanks, I need to protect some files and was told PGP was the way to go.
[17:18] <VSpike> guitrokr123: gutsy seems faster for me once I got it working, and nice to have packaged versions of all the stuff I had to find for feisty, like latest thunderbird, firefox, nvidia driver, etc.
[17:18] <_2> sipior http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d18b0f90f
[17:19] <bulmer> systemd0wn-> umm installing an app is not same as kernel upgrade noh?
[17:19] <Valtor_> i have a weird bug, sometimes when i do a keyboard shortcut, it might get repeated for 3-5 seconds, quite annoying when i press ctrl-w or ctrl-t in firefox.....
[17:19] <Milos_SD> is it safe to do an update of proposed updates and backports on gusty? I am thinking for updates of network manager and libxine ?
[17:19] <windego40> anyone know how to mount an ipod touch?
[17:20] <guitrokr123> VSpike: it seems different for me, i found i had to do alot of manual work to get things to work in feisty... but finally i had it how i liked it and gutsy removed all functionality
[17:20] <systemd0wn> bulmer, No it shouldnt be the same... i was told by a coworker that this happened.  Perhaps they did a system update as well...
[17:20] <windego40> ive been trying but says i need a host
[17:20] <SubSonik> Any ideas what might make my vdeo choppy when I scroll or drag?
[17:20] <charlesg3> can anyone assist in getting desktop effects (say translucent windows when moving) working in kubuntu?
[17:20] <_2> bulmer inet---ppp0-box192.168.0.1-eth0---hub---eth0[192.168.0.6]-box-eth1[192.168.1.6]---LAN-2*

[17:21] <mr_marvin> hello. i can't upgrade ubundu from cd using gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" - nothing happens.
[17:21] <neverblue> charlesg3, there is a kubuntu channel, /join #kubuntu
[17:21] <whabo> join #kiba-dock
[17:21] <charlesg3> ubotu: neverblue thanks
[17:21] <neverblue> np, charlesg3
[17:22] <allenc> bulmer: Ok, I now have a "debs" file for the printer... can you tell me what I need to do to install that please?
[17:22] <whabo> sry i was trying to join KIBA-dock please disregard my previous msg
[17:22] <kst-> somehow my networkmanager process is eating up like all my cpu already right after login, i'm not running any p2p software or anything tho... what's up with that? is there a problem with recent updates? running gutsy on a notebook and am connected through LAN adapter, WLAN is disabled
[17:22] <_2> allenc sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[17:23] <tommas> What is the problem with Gutsy 64bit. I tried to boot the live CD on Dell inspiron 1520 the screen goes blank and nothing happens(with the 64-bit CD). The 32 bit version boots fine
[17:23] <neverblue> kst-, looking at top ?
[17:23] <jimjam> I currently have two Ubuntu installations: a 6.06 and a 7.10. I want to run only the 7.10, but grub is run from the 6.06. What do I have to do?
[17:23] <kst-> neverblue yeah top or gnome-system-monitor
[17:23] <neverblue> tommas, use the ALT. CD instead ?
[17:24] <tommas> i dont have the alternate CD, and my connection is slow :(
[17:24] <neverblue> tommas, then install 32bit :)
[17:24] <ArthurArchnix> I filed a bug report on launchpad, but I don't know that it will get much attention because its against he ubuntu's website... should i have just sent an email to webmaster or is launchpad the way to go you think?
[17:24] <tommas> neverblue must it be done withe the alternate?
[17:24] <kst-> this is quite annoying, that way i can hardly use my notebook... and this problem didnt appear before the week-end (didnt use my notebook much, applied some gutsy updates meanwhile tho)
[17:24] <hockeyfan5000> anyone use Acronis Disk Director, I boot to Linux through it but it still brings up the Grub bootloader, I just want to use Acronis
[17:24] <SubSonik> what would make my video choppy when I scroll or drag?
[17:24] <preaction> !launchpad | ArthurArchnix
[17:24] <ubotu> ArthurArchnix: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/
[17:24] <neverblue> tommas, when the LiveCD doesnt work, I usually do the ALT CD instead
[17:24] <tommas> so neverblue there is no way to install the 64bit ?
[17:25] <neverblue> kst-, remove/reinstall ?
[17:25] <kst-> neverblue what? network-manager?
[17:25] <jamiejackson> Milos_SD: I think networkmanager's buggier under gutsy. i wouldn't upgrade that to gutsy's
[17:25] <matozoid> hi all
[17:25] <neverblue> tommas, yes, there is a way to install the 64bit, but you cannot do it... apparently...
[17:25] <Genscher> hey :)
[17:25] <Milos_SD> I have Gusty installed ...
[17:25] <neverblue> kst-, that which is eating at your processor...
[17:25] <matozoid> is there a way to establish a VNC connection to a windows computer from ubuntu?
[17:26] <SubSonik> I am using gutsy
[17:26] <Milos_SD> And I have an proposed update for network-manager
[17:26] <neverblue> matozoid, yes, easily, i might add
[17:26] <Genscher> is there a way to change settings of compiz  in a more direct way than "little gimmicks" or "many gimmicks" ;)
[17:26] <kst-> neverblue it is "NetworkManager"
[17:26] <VSpike> Genscher: install ccsm
[17:26] <wobblywu> !ccsm | Genscher
[17:26] <ubotu> Genscher: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[17:26] <Genscher> VSpike, thanks, will do :)
[17:26] <matozoid> neverblue: care to explain?
[17:26] <neverblue> matozoid, do you have VNC installed on box machines?
[17:26] <jamiejackson> Milos_SD: is it safe to do an update of proposed updates and backports on gusty? I am thinking for updates of network manager and libxine ? <-- okay, thought you meant "from gutsy"
[17:27] <whabo> guys how do i get kiba-dock?? i went to the site.. and looked in package manager .. and came out with nothing... help please.. thx
[17:27] <matozoid> neverblue: only on the windows server
[17:27] <VSpike> whabo: google has lots of hits for installing in ubuntu howtos
[17:27] <allenc> bulmer: I installed the dpkg but in localhost it shows "No %BoundingBox: comment in header!"
[17:28] <matozoid> neverblue: i wish to connect to the windows server with rdesktop over vnc
[17:28] <Genscher> by the way: manby people I know came back to ubuntu distribution because of easy restricted driver handling
[17:28] <Genscher> :)
[17:28] <dajhorn> tommas: Try booting the 64-bit installer with vga=normal at or using the F keys to find the shortcut that disables the framebuffer.  Many problems are hidden by the video mode switch.
[17:28] <neverblue> matozoid, then you can use Internet-->Terminal Server Client to use a VNC connection
[17:28] <matozoid> neverblue: thanks mate! :)
[17:28] <raghos> Hi, I have a friend who got in trouble using automatic login. Now he's unable to start gnome. Is there any way to turn off automatic login from a terminal? (i.e. without using gdmsetup?)
[17:28] <mr_marvin> anyone? how to make ubuntu upgrade from cd? gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" won't do a thing...?
[17:28] <neverblue> matozoid, dont forget about the Firewall on the Windows box....
[17:29] <SubSonik> I use just isntalled gutsy but my video is extremely choppy when I scroll or drag. What should I try?
[17:29] <Valtor_> i have a weird bug, sometimes when i do a keyboard shortcut, it might get repeated for 3-5 seconds, quite annoying when i press ctrl-w or ctrl-t in firefox.....
[17:29] <matozoid> neverblue: ok thanks
[17:30] <tommas> dajhorn yes i think its something with the video because the screens go blank and everything else seems like working (the drive is reading from the cd..). So do i need to enter vga=normal at the end of the boot options ?
[17:30] <allenc> Ok, I have installed the dpkg file for my printer but in local host it shows "No %BoundingBox: comment in header!"
[17:30] <dajhorn> tommas: Yes, F6 should let you edit the kernel command line in-place.
[17:31] <CochiseIRL> mr_marvin, you need the alternative CD to upgrade
[17:31] <tommas> ok dajhorn thanks lets try that.
[17:31] <SubSonik> I just installed gutsy but my video is extremely choppy when I scroll or drag. What should I try?
[17:31] <dajhorn> tommas: You need to set "vga=normal" and remove "quiet".
[17:31] <windego40> anyone know how to mount an ipod touch?
[17:32] <neverblue> SubSonik, do you have the best drivers installed ?
[17:32] <tommas> oo wait so i need to add vga=normal at the very end position on the line right? after the "--" ?
[17:32] <dajhorn> tommas: Also remove "splash".
[17:32] <mr_marvin> CochiseIRL, that means that "commont" CD is useless?
[17:32] <_2> ok can someone help me with this line?  """iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.1.6"""
[17:32] <_2> is that syntax correct ^  ?
[17:32] <SubSonik> Neverblue, when I checked in hardware, it seemed like the video was correctly identified, but I am not sure how to check the driver
[17:32] <CochiseIRL> mr_marvin, yup i think so i'll check it out there now just to make sure tough one min
[17:32] <neverblue> _2 take out the """ (triple quotes) :)
[17:32] <dajhorn> tommas: Put it in the same place as the "quiet" and "splash" words after you delete them.
[17:33] <dajhorn> tommas: I think this would be before the '--'.
[17:33] <pasci_at_home> Hi, I was wondering if there is a possibility to install a minimal version of Ubuntu? By minimal I mean not cli or cli-expert which is still nearly 500MB. I looked around for hours and couldn't find. Any advice?
[17:33] <tommas> ok remove splash and quiet and add vga=normal, dajhorn i'll try that now, ill be back in few minutes
[17:33] <_2> neverblue like no duh.
[17:33] <CochiseIRL> mr_marvin, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading down the bottom
[17:33] <d1n0> pasci_at_home: that would have to be Xubuntu or something
[17:33] <neverblue> SubSonik, put your lspci listing on pastebin
[17:33] <allenc> and now I get a message saying printer may not be available
[17:33] <neverblue> !pastebin | SubSonik
[17:33] <ubotu> SubSonik: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[17:34] <CochiseIRL> pasci_at_home, try flucbuntu
[17:34] <CochiseIRL> pasci_at_home, try fluxbuntu or xbuntu
[17:34] <allenc> .
[17:34] <neverblue> _2, if maybe you tell us what you want to do, rather than just post your iptables command, then someone might be able to assist (duh) :)
[17:34] <mr_marvin> CochiseIRL, tnx... i saw that... this means ordered wron cd. and what is this stupid thing, not being able to update via live cd... bah!
[17:35] <pasci_at_home> d1n0: No, I mean a server installation. If you install Ubuntu cli (console only), there is still stuff like wireless and alsa installed, which is never useed on a server.
[17:35] <CochiseIRL> mr_marvin, best thing to do is have a separate home partition that way you can do a fresh install without losing your data
[17:35] <CochiseIRL> pasci_at_home, have you tried ubuntu server edition
[17:36] <Valtor_> has anybody seen a keyboard shortcut bug in ubuntu?
[17:36] <mr_marvin> CochiseIRL, what exacly should i backup to restore it, after i do fresh install? just one dir... or is more comlicate than this...?
[17:36] <pasci_at_home> CochiseIRL: I do netinstall, as I have only serial console access (no cdrom) to the box
[17:37] <SubSonik> neverblue, ok, done.
[17:37] <neverblue> SubSonik, and the URL is... ?
[17:37] <neverblue> (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[17:38] <SubSonik> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45273/
[17:38] <SubSonik> sorry
[17:38] <CochiseIRL> mr_marvin, the best thing to do is follow this: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome then do a fresh install of gutsy but do not format the /home partition
[17:38] <neverblue> np :)
[17:38] <SubSonik> doin 3 things at once
[17:38] <neverblue> trying to do dual monitors ?
[17:38] <SubSonik> neverblue, not yet, but hopefully as a next step
[17:38] <mr_marvin> CochiseIRL, thank you for tips... i'm off.

[17:39] <soulwarp> nevermind :P
[17:39] <fraco> what would be the best way to get pulseaudio library + its dependencies from hardy into gutsy (without actually upgrading all other packages too)?
[17:39] <neverblue> SubSonik, are you attempting anything funny, say.. compiz-fusion ?
[17:39] <BlueParrot> I'm trying to get amarok working over freenx , the howto suggests I use esd , but I can't figure out how to get an esd output plugin for amarok , is there one at all ?
[17:39] <SubSonik> neverblue, again, not yet. this is a fresh install. the only thing I have put on so far is google earth
[17:40] <Valtor_> ummm i don't want to sound aggressive but what's the best way to get help here? :P
[17:40] <neverblue> SubSonik, put your /etc/X11/xorg.conf on pastebin as well, please

[17:41] <pasci_at_home> CochiseIRL: Looks like nobody has an idea, thanks anyway, I'm off looking for a solution anywhere else ;-)
[17:41] <Valtor_> neverblue: i get that, but ive been asking for 20 minutes now and not a single answer, it gets frustrating :(
[17:41] <boris_> hi
[17:41] <incorrecttt> does anyone know of a good PO system?
[17:41] <randorfer> valtor_:  what was your question I just got in here I may (maybe not!) be able to help you
[17:42] <neverblue> Valtor_, well, if you keep *not* asking your question, and just fusing, that wont help  ;)
[17:42] <Q_Continuum> I need to record all the sound I hear - what app can I use?
[17:42] <l0pht> audacity
[17:42] <Valtor_> sorry
[17:42] <Valtor_> sometimes when i do a keyboard shortcut, it might get repeated for 3-5 seconds, quite annoying when i press ctrl-w or ctrl-t in firefox.....
[17:42] <boris_> my father will probably switch to linux today, and he's asking me whether a bank payment system, called 'klik' will work on firefox. he says it only work with IE
[17:42] <boris_> it only works*
[17:43] <revRay> have ubuntu 7.10 a low latency kernel?
[17:43] <neverblue> Valtor_, just in FF ?
[17:43] <randorfer> boris_:  checkout ies4linux
[17:43] <Enselic> revRay: afaik
[17:43] <Valtor_> neverblue: nope, alt tab and ctrl alt arrow too
[17:43] <boris_> randorfer : thanks
[17:43] <randorfer> boris_: everything from ie4 -> 7 is available I believe
[17:43] <pecisk> revRay: Ubuntu has low latency kernel for already some time, what do you really need is kernel with RT patches. It is seperate kernel and I guess Ubuntu Studio has it.
[17:44] <DShepherd> randorfer, ie 7 is now?
[17:44] <neverblue> Valtor_, then your keyboard isnt setup properly, by the sounds of things
[17:44] <Valtor_> neverblue: i thought it was compiz, but i turned it off and the bug is still there
[17:44] <DShepherd> randorfer, kool
[17:44] <revRay> what is the name of this kernel?
[17:44] <revRay> in the repository
[17:44] <alber1> How can I get wget to save a file with a destination file name that I specify?
[17:44] <fraco> how can i get selected packages +dependencies from hardy into gutsy?
[17:44] <randorfer> dshepherd:  yeah I was there the other day and I guess they now support it
[17:44] <Calvyn> Hi... can somebody please help me... I'm n00b
[17:44] <eldenz> alber1, -O filename
[17:44] <DShepherd> alber1, wget url -O name
[17:44] <Calvyn> :-)
[17:45] <randorfer> calvyn:  whats the Question
[17:45] <Valtor_> neverblue: how do i check that? im on a compaq laptop...
[17:45] <Calvyn> I messed up my grub
[17:45] <alber1> thnx!
[17:45] <Calvyn> and or my fstab
[17:45] <Calvyn> not sure what though
[17:45] <randorfer> calvyn:  whats happening?
[17:45] <revRay> pecisk: what is the name of this kernel in the repository?
[17:45] <jesusrocksmybod> nuthin
[17:45] <jesusrocksmybod> u?
[17:45] <neverblue> Valtor_, well, your keyboard settings are in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but thats about as far as I can assist...
[17:45] <Calvyn> the situation is/was: I got ubuntu, as well as kubuntu from shipit
[17:45] <randorfer> revRay:  you can check you kernel by running uname -r in a terminal
[17:45] <Calvyn> I installed both
[17:46] <alber1> wget -O did the trick thanks a lot
[17:46] <Calvyn> and eventually decided on Ubuntu above Kubunty
[17:46] <neverblue> !enter | Calvyn
[17:46] <ubotu> Calvyn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[17:46] <revRay> randorfer: i have the standard kernel of ubuntu 7.10  but need a low latency kernel
[17:46] <SubSonik> neverblue, xoeg.conf= http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45274/
[17:46] <Valtor_> neverblue: thx btw :)
[17:46] <Calvyn> k
[17:46] <randorfer> revRay:  ahh, well good luck, I had a heck of a time compiling a -mm kernel
[17:47] <neverblue> sorry I couldnt be of more help Valtor_ (also maybe check your /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages for keystroke errors)
[17:47] <randorfer> calvyn:  i follow, so what happened then?
[17:47] <bullgard4> sda1 is a memory stick formatted under Windows. 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda1' says: "This does not look like  a partition table. Probably you selected the wrong device." What is a better tool to analyze this memory stick?
[17:47] <alecs> hi there
[17:47] <revRay> randorfer: isnt there no precompiled package availible?
[17:47] <Calvyn> Situation: I had 2 partitions, 1 ubuntu, 1 kubuntu.  I decided I preferred Ubuntu, and deleted the Kubuntu partition using qtparted.  Then when I restarted (later on) Grub gave me Error 15 - ThisI've learnt means that the file is not found
[17:48] <alecs> there is java on ubuntu packages?
[17:48] <fraco> revRay: linux-image-rt package?
[17:48] <neverblue> SubSonik, looks like the correct driver is loaded, maybe its not that great of a video card ?
[17:48] <jesusrocksmybod> thanx
[17:48] <pecisk> revRay: linux-image-2.6.22-14-rt - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.22 on RT kernel
[17:48] <cofeineSunshine> where i configure my bnep0 interface, so it configures its IP when pan connection is established?
[17:48] <YetiChick> Valtor_, I see that key-thing happen sometimes on older machines when they're having CPU spikes.  Is it possible that you have something eating CPU from time to time?
[17:48] <randorfer> revRay:  no, I believe you have to recompile the kernel, I could be wrong but that is where I would look -- My guess is the -mm kernel patch has low latency compatability and there are some good walkthroughs for compiling it if you google
[17:48]  * DrakeJustice_ is troll hunting
[17:48] <DrakeJustice_> anyone need help?
[17:48] <SubSonik> neverblue, it is onboard video, but I set it to 128 megs of memory, and it worked great under windows, which is why I would expect it to work well under linux
[17:48] <jesusrocksmybod> can anyone read this
[17:49] <alecs> DrakeJustice_: me
[17:49] <Kibble> hey all
[17:49] <jesusrocksmybod> \sick
[17:49] <Valtor_> YetiChick: yes! that could quite possibly be it,
[17:49] <randorfer> revray, pecisk:  or I could be completely wrong!
[17:49] <Kibble> i read you jesus
[17:49] <DrakeJustice_> alecs: what do you need?
[17:49] <revRay> pecisk: thank you!
[17:49] <jesusrocksmybod> nice kibbs
[17:49] <alecs> well i need to install a java jdk on my station
[17:49] <Kibble> i need some help getting an external hard-drive to respond here
[17:49] <jesusrocksmybod> ima rapper
[17:49] <Valtor_> YetiChick: do you know of anything to solve that? (except avoiding cpu pikes)
[17:49] <revRay> randorfer: this is the -mm kernel, isnt it?
[17:49] <DrakeJustice_> alecs: join #slinux if you can
[17:49] <alecs> but i can't find it ... ubuntu 7.04
[17:50] <DrakeJustice_> jesusrocksmybod: looks like u r a troll... no?
[17:50] <YetiChick> Valtor_, If you use tabbed browsing, keep an eye on Flash and Java stuff going on on the tabs you don't have at the front.
[17:50] <Kibble> lol drake
[17:50] <randorfer> calvyn:  Alright, what happened is you deleted the last install you made (which incedentally re-installed grub) and now when grub looks for where to read its information it is confused
[17:50] <Kibble> any1 experienced in getting usb hardware to work?
[17:50] <randorfer> revRay:  the vanilla ubuntu kernel is not the -mm kernel
[17:50] <Valtor_> YetiChick: i might thing that its the other way around though.... sometimes it happens when theres no cpu activity, but when it happens cpu goes through the roof
[17:50] <neverblue> SubSonik, try in the forums, for other users with similar symptoms ?
[17:50] <mianos>  guys
[17:50] <mianos> hi
[17:51] <Kibble> hey
[17:51] <mianos> I'm not new to linux
[17:51] <mianos> or ubuntu
[17:51] <SubSonik> neverblue, I guess. Thanks for the help!
[17:51] <revRay> randorfer: but this kernel?: linux-image-2.6.22-14-rt
[17:51] <neverblue> SubSonik, looks like everything is fine from this end....
[17:51] <mianos> i use it for years
[17:51] <jesusrocksmybod> ive downloaded 7.10 but cant install , anyone know how to do it? bless all of yall essays!
[17:51] <ubuntugy> i have a little problem, i lost my boot startup loading bar.... How can I fix it?
[17:51] <randorfer> revRay:  I am not sure honestly, google and look it up?
[17:51] <mianos> BUT: ubuntu gusty 7.10 and my macbook pro rev. 3 santa-rosa are soooooooooo strange ;) the LIVE-CD asks for a user and password
[17:51] <mianos> YES; gdm prompts for user and pass
[17:51] <mianos> wtf?
[17:52] <YetiChick> Valtor_, most likely the CPU hit is the cause - the buffered keystrokes are a symptom.  You might try keeping top running in a console and watch to see what process peaks when this happens.
[17:52] <jesusrocksmybod> iggy pop
[17:52] <randorfer> calvyn:  The easiest way to fix your problem is going to be to reinstall only kubuntu if thats what you like (it will re-write your /boot and fix your problems)
[17:52]  * Kibble has a problem with a maxtor 500gb 3 onetouch that ubuntu isn't mounting. anyone know how to force-mount it?
[17:52] <jesusrocksmybod> jesus is my daddy
[17:52] <Valtor_> YetiChick: thx! ill try that out
[17:53] <mianos> any idea? i leeched the iso from a german server (tu-esslingen)
[17:53] <jesusrocksmybod> thanx thats perfecto bless you vato
[17:53] <randorfer> calvyn:  If you need to backup files make a new partition and move them to that partition and just dont delete it while re-installing
[17:53] <ubuntugy> does anyone know how to get back the ubuntu loading bar?? I have a black screen till login. Help please.
[17:53] <PuppiesAtWork> Does anyone know of a good dual monitor wallpaper of the earth from space?
[17:53] <YetiChick> Valtor_, I'd not be surprised to find that it's firefox.  I loathe Flash ads and banners.  Do you use the adblock extension?
[17:53] <jesusrocksmybod> i have no idea ubuntugy

[17:59] <ubuntugy> I just want the bar to appear, because it's confusing to see a blank screen while loading... please!
[17:59] <bulmer> Ayabara-> roaming and static are two different concepts
[17:59] <jesusrocksmybod> n1rvana rules
[17:59] <revRay> jesusrocksmybod: wtf?! xD
[18:00] <YetiChick> Ayabara, do you mean a static internal IP?  I'd probably set up a static DHCP entry in my home router and leave the laptop set to roam.
[18:00] <jesusrocksmybod> whats xD?
[18:00] <mjwolf> ubuntugy: did you try ctrl-alt-f7
[18:00] <randorfer> has anyone upgraded to hardy yet? -- I just started the upgrade on my testing computer and I am wondering what to expect!

[18:02] <Vala> Hi all. I want to install VMware on my 7.10 ubuntu 64bit. can anyone direct me to a good guide? (I have trouble with english)
[18:02] <Pici> jesusrocksmybod: Please stop. This is not appropriate for this channel.
[18:02] <ubuntugy> mjwolf: Running Beryl Kiba-dock, with default ATI drivers
[18:02] <blkorpheus> _4a42_, such as?
[18:02] <Ayabara> YetiChick: that's a point
[18:03] <jesusrocksmybod> sorry, what is?
[18:03] <ourumov2> did my install without HDD now, found install image in hd-media, thanks to stefg  (now sadly offline)
[18:03] <ourumov2> bye

[18:03] <rabidweezle> anyone know a good 3d pool game in the repo?
[18:03] <_4a42_> blkorpheus: it just does stay on, i do an hdparm -d1 /dev/hda; hdparm -t /dev/hda; and check it again and its not set
[18:03] <jonah> hey guys having a lot of trouble installing the new nvidia driver, it fails to startx and complains about something with glx and also distplays and stuff. trying to install 169.04, can anyone help me out - is there  a log i can pastebin or something?
[18:03] <blkorpheus> rabidweezle, openarena
[18:03] <Ayabara> YetiChick: I mean that I need to forward a port to my computer in my router, and it seems I can forward to 1 IP only
[18:03] <jesusrocksmybod> jesus is the man
[18:03] <rabidweezle> that's 8-ball pool?
[18:04] <blkorpheus> jonah, I installed the driver no sweat
[18:04] <rabidweezle> I thought openarena was like quake
[18:04] <mjwolf> ubuntugy: I dont have any other good ideas
[18:04] <rabidweezle> lol
[18:04] <blkorpheus> just ran the Nvidia installer
[18:04] <YetiChick> Ayabara:  Right.  Well, that should be easy enough.  If the router supports it, you can make it assign the same IP to a given MAC address every time.
[18:04] <ubuntugy> mjwolf: do u know where that bar is? Is it a kind of gdm?
[18:04] <YetiChick> Ayabara:  Then use that IP address as your forward destination.
[18:04] <blkorpheus> ubuntugy, its frame buffer
[18:05] <blkorpheus> ubuntugy, apt-get install startupmanager
[18:05] <jonah> blkorpheus, that's great but can you help
[18:05] <blkorpheus> yes
[18:05] <ubuntugy> blkorpheus: so if I reload that pkg it will come back?
[18:05] <Ayabara> YetiChick: ah. just gotta dig a bit on my Jensen router than. thanks :-)
[18:05] <Kibble> how do i a)identify a usb mass storage device and b)mount it from terminal?
[18:06] <YetiChick> Ayabara: And most routers that can port forward can do static DHCP.
[18:06] <blkorpheus> ubuntugy, no, nothing is a one cmd fix
[18:06] <blkorpheus> ubuntugy, you'll need to read things
[18:06] <YetiChick> Ayabara: Good luck.  :)
[18:06] <jonah> hello can anyone please help me out, i tried envy and that won't work either...
[18:06] <Pici> !envy | jonah
[18:06] <blkorpheus> jonah, I said yes
[18:06] <ubotu> jonah: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[18:06] <MecaT> #MangaProjec
[18:06] <ubuntugy> blkorpheus: can u post a linkfor starters please?
[18:06] <MecaT> #MangaProject
[18:06] <randorfer> vala, I assume you are looking for vmware-server not player (you want to create virtual machines)  If this is the case I am not sure how to do it exactly with ubuntu 64 but I know you can go to the vmware website and they have directions aswell as the download.  An alternative though is virtual box which is available through the repositories (apt-get install virtualbox)
[18:07] <blkorpheus> ubuntugy, no link needed, just install the app and use it
[18:07] <helpme> how do i add/remove icons in my applications menu?
[18:07] <Ayabara> YetiChick: it was kinda easy to find too :-)
[18:07] <randorfer> helpme, right click on applications on the tool bar and selected edit menus
[18:07] <blkorpheus> jonah, you'll have to explain what you have done to install the BETA NVIDIA driver
[18:07] <jonah> i know envy isn't supported but figured it was worth a shot as it wouldn't install from nvidia website .run thing...
[18:07] <_4a42_> blkorpheus: i can't find any anything on the forums just people saying is hdparm, which says its set until i try and use the drive
[18:07] <YetiChick> Ayabara: Glad to hear it.  :)
[18:07] <ubuntugy> blkorpheus: ok, thank you very much, I'm gonna reboot and come back soon to tell you
[18:08] <jonah> blkorpheus, i downloaded the .run file from nvidia and ran that, then on restart it failed
[18:08] <Ayabara> is rtorrent still the coolest torrent client on ubuntu?
[18:08]  * Ayabara has been on os x for a while, but is home again
[18:08] <blkorpheus> jonah, your missing alot of the story. What did the installer do?
[18:08] <blkorpheus> jonah, did it execute clean and finish?

[18:10] <DShepherd> yeah

[18:10] <d1n0> no
[18:10] <d1n0> it is not
[18:10] <d1n0> ehm, read topic dude
[18:11] <blkorpheus> jonah, your not telling me what you've done
[18:11] <larry> anyhow, how do I get my cd-drive and usb back? there are no icons showing they are there
[18:11] <jonah> blkorpheus, here is my xorg log which says why it fails i think http://pastebin.ca/790980
[18:12] <jonah> blkorpheus, the installer finished yeah, but there was a couple errors i think in middle somewhere but it did say it'd installed
[18:12] <javaJake> Hey, why's LjL-Temp got ops? :)
[18:12] <blkorpheus> jonah, did you read the nvidia readme?
[18:12] <Pici> javaJake: because hes an op.
[18:12] <randorfer> [chr0n0s] : from my understanding you are using compiz with a intel chip (cannot play movies with compiz on) -- if this is the case the script will not work how you intend, the movie will crash after the compiz --replace& is run, if this is not the case then myquestion is will you be running the script from the command line (i.e. command line input) or ?
[18:12] <javaJake> Pici, :P
[18:13] <javaJake> Oh, hello Pici. :D
[18:13] <larry> they dissapeard after updating Ubuntu
[18:13] <cassio> hello everybody
[18:13] <_4a42_> blkorpheus: have done and its set, going to check my bios, but think there is something missing from my config :/ brb
[18:13] <javaJake> cassio, hello
[18:13] <blkorpheus> larry, is there media in the drive?
[18:13] <cassio> i think I just broke something here
[18:13] <larry> yes
[18:13] <larry> cd
[18:13] <cassio> don know what I made, but all the fonts used in text editors like Kate,
[18:13] <blkorpheus> eject the cd
[18:13] <cassio> or even Konsole
[18:13] <larry> also USB is in, windows recognizes it
[18:13] <blkorpheus> reinsert
[18:14] <cassio> are just too clear and small
[18:14] <[chr0n0s]> randorfer, i am assuming unless the mplayer exits, it will be stuck there, and compiz --replace will be executed after that

[18:14] <glark> Hey everybody.
[18:14] <larry> re-inserted, nothing. no icons on desktop or my computer, either
[18:14] <javaJake> cassio, running Kubuntu? I can't help you with KDE issues, as I haven't touched KDE in... oh... 4+ years.
[18:14] <randorfer> [chr0n0s] that could happen, not 100% sure.  If you want to reference commandline input use $1 (first arguement after the command is run)
[18:14] <glark> Anyone interested in my sponge hammers?
[18:15] <blkorpheus> larry, does nautilus open and show media?
[18:15] <ajcates> how can I set up rythembox to expect ssh commands over a ssh connection to my computer?
[18:15] <cassio> it seems that everything happened after typing something wrong in katapult...
[18:15] <blkorpheus> is it a music cd?
[18:15] <blkorpheus> try a data cd?
[18:15] <cassio> javaJake, yes, KDE
[18:15] <randorfer> function play(){ metacity --replace & mplayer -vo gl2 $1 compiz --replace &}
[18:15] <larry> yes, it's music, nothing pops up, however
[18:15] <tommas> I have succesfully installed GUTSY 64-bit version on my INSPIRON 1520. i forgot the nick of the man who helped me so if u see this message pls reply?
[18:15] <jimjam_> I have two Ubuntu installations on my computer, a 6.06 and a 7.10. I want to remove the 6.06 and just run Gutsy. Grub is off of 6.06. What will I need to do?
[18:16] <blkorpheus> larry, try data please
[18:16] <jonah> blkorpheus, yeah it just says to run the script
[18:16] <cassio> i've rebooted, restarted X, went to the system properties config, bot nothing works....

[18:17] <larry> when I start-up, "failed to initiate HAL!, internal error" displayes
[18:17] <|NeMewSys|> hello
[18:17] <blkorpheus> jonah, your not helping yourself here, and snubbing the help you are recieving
[18:17] <|NeMewSys|> does anyone here knows Scheme (DrScheme) ?
[18:17] <helpme> how do i add/remove program icons in my applications menu using the menu editor?
[18:17] <blkorpheus> thre are 1200+ ppl here, good luck. BETA drivers are not supported
[18:17] <larry> I can play mp3's with the music player
[18:17] <blkorpheus> read the topic please
[18:17] <jonah> blkorpheus, i'm trying my best, reading the readme is not helping me which is why i'm asking for help if anyone can help that would be great
[18:17] <godsyn> help : Ubuntu 7.10 : Ubuntu server : stupid me accidentally overwrote the groups for www-data (forgot the -a in usermod). Would someone please confirm that the default group(s) for www-data is just itself?
[18:18] <blkorpheus> helpme, you don't
[18:18] <tommas> Can someone help me to add Gutsy as boot option in the menu.lst of other distro. (Grub is from suse i want to add Ubuntu boot option)
[18:18] <randorfer> helpme:  add or remove them from the list by adding or removing the coresponding check mark
[18:18] <hockeyfan5000> can anyone tell me why I would have static on my sound until I play something then it goes away, I have looked around for any devices that may be causing feedback but cant see me to locate any. If I Play music the static goes away, but sitting idle I hear feedback.
[18:18] <javaJake> helpme, in the editor, if your app is listed, you can uncheck to remove or check to add, and if it isn't listed, you can use the "New Item" button
[18:18] <blkorpheus> jonah, you did not read the whole readme dude
[18:18] <javaJake> helpme, it's simple - there must be something your trying to do that isn't so simple. ;)
[18:18] <Twanger_se> #exit
[18:18] <blkorpheus> or you would have seen the part about editing the xorg.conf file
[18:18] <helpme> im using the xfce menu editor
[18:19] <helpme> and it doesnt show any of my program icons
[18:19]  * javaJake is away: Be back in 10
[18:19] <ArthurArchnix> What's the deal with the rt-kernel, what's that all about?
[18:19] <blkorpheus> helpme, because is does nto edit icons
[18:19] <ajcates> anybody know how to change songs with rythm box over a ssh connection?
[18:19] <blkorpheus> ArthurArchnix, real-time kernel, for stuff  like ubuntu studio
[18:19] <alber1> over ssh?
[18:19] <brobostigon> hi
[18:19] <alber1> crazyness!
[18:19] <jonah> blkorpheus, well maybe you could explain the problem that i've missed in the readme as i can't see anything that can help me out which is why i'm in this room asking for anyone kind enough to help and not just point me to readmes, it's not a great deal of help telling people to go read
[18:19] <ajcates> so I can sit on my laptop and use my desktop for a boom box
[18:20] <alber1> xwindows over ssh?
[18:20] <alber1> :)
[18:20] <|NeMewSys|> - - - - Anyone here knows Scheme?
[18:20] <blkorpheus> jonah, people must read these documents if they want to play with UNSUPPORTED BETA DRIVERS
[18:20] <ArthurArchnix> blkorpheus: Yeah. I can't find any documentation about it. Wiki's or something. Some kind of reasoning why you'd want it.
[18:20] <|NeMewSys|> - - - - Anyone here knows Scheme??
[18:20] <jonah> i don't understand glx modules and kernel mismatch errors, readme or no readme, i just want to install this thing
[18:21] <larry> any idea why HAL failed to initiate after updating Ubunut
[18:21] <larry> ?
[18:21] <jonah> blkorpheus, yeah i know - but if you can't help me that is fine, i know about the readme, it's not helping me
[18:21] <erUSUL> |NeMewSys|: try a channel specific on scheme
[18:21] <blkorpheus> ArthurArchnix, for applications where real-time kernel is needed. If you don't know whether you need it, then you don't usually
[18:21] <erUSUL> !repeat | |NeMewSys|
[18:21] <ubotu> |NeMewSys|: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[18:21] <blkorpheus> jonah, you can't recognize the help
[18:21] <godsyn> help : Ubuntu 7.10 : Ubuntu server : stupid me accidentally overwrote the groups for www-data (forgot the -a in usermod). Would someone please confirm that the default group(s) for www-data is just itself? ( cat /etc/group | grep "www-data" )

[18:21] <lg188> how to make a python install?? i have the files but hwo to make a executable file ..
[18:22] <cassio> can someone please help me, some fonts in my kubuntu gutsy install looks very strange, in konsole, kate or any other text edtiro using monospaced fotns.. the text looks smaller e the color is too clear, lifeless... I went to system properties config at K menu, but everything looks normal... I think I typed something at Katapult and then this problem was created... looks very strange
[18:22] <blkorpheus> I have helped you, you just don't knwo it yet, because you refuse to follow directions
[18:22] <randorfer> tommas:  edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file (as root) and follow the same format as the ones in there already.  Also doing a google for grub/menu.lst should help
[18:22] <larry> you talkin' to me?
[18:22] <godsyn> ... noone here has apache2 installed?
[18:22] <ajcates> @alber1 I don't want to listen to it on my other computer, I want to sit on my couch and change the song on my desktop with my laptop via ssh
[18:22] <_4a42_> blkorpheus: no luck, boot gutsy with no dvd in the drive and dma is set fine, but a disk in the drive and it turns off
[18:22] <randorfer> godsyn:  yes I do whats the question?
[18:23] <godsyn> randorfer: help : Ubuntu 7.10 : Ubuntu server : stupid me accidentally overwrote the groups for www-data (forgot the -a in usermod). Would someone please confirm that the default group(s) for www-data is just itself? ( cat /etc/group | grep "www-data" )
[18:23] <blkorpheus> _4a42_, hmmm
[18:23] <_4a42_> blkorpheus: prehaps the drive just doesn't like anime, let my try a rom-com... ;)
[18:23] <alber1> ajcates: maybe if you vnc to it... i dont think vnc forwards sound but it's been awhile since ive used that
[18:23] <_hopex> blkorpheus: it's me (ubuntugy), i have rebooted and havent seen any loading bar, instead my login font size and window titles are huge. How can I fix this? I don't care about the bar anymore as long as I have %25 of title in each window
[18:23] <genii> yes, www-data:www-data
[18:23] <blkorpheus> _4a42_, is that drive set as master?
[18:23] <cassio> I've even created another user account, but logging in with this new account shows the same problems
[18:24] <randorfer> godsyn:  command returned:  www-data:x:33:
[18:24] <godsyn> geni, rand i: thank you.
[18:24] <_4a42_> blkorpheus: yes i believe so, its on its own so it will either be master of cs, I do have a spare dvd drive floating around might try a hardware swap
[18:24] <blkorpheus> _hopex, you rebooted to fast to have used that program to change your startup appearances
[18:24] <blkorpheus> _4a42_, your using gutsy?
[18:25] <ajcates> @alber1 i don't want sound forwarded my desktop speakers are very loud, vnc might work but it is an ugly soltuion just to change a song, I can already change songs in rythm box with the terminal, i need a way to send a command to the desktop envritment form ssh
[18:25] <_4a42_> blkorpheus: yeah 32, do have a 64 install on this machine as well could try that
[18:25] <_hopex> blkorpheus: I HAVE rebooted. And now I want to get back my font size, how can I do that?
[18:25] <jonah> blkorpheus, i don't even want to use this beta thing, it's just my system has freeze/lockups with current driver and being forced to use nv in xorg.conf, which doesn't allow me any 3d stuff or games
[18:26] <jonah> hey guys, i'm trying to install the nvidia 169.04 beta driver as i have problems with freeze ups on my system with current ubuntu driver. only the .run thing runs through but then driver fails when reboot. also as plan b i treid envy but that doesn't work either. is there a log or something i can post for anyone to please help me out. thanks.
[18:26] <blkorpheus> _hopex, re read what I typed. I did not tell you to reboot
[18:26] <randorfer> jonah:  what video card do you have
[18:26] <blkorpheus> _hopex, did you even run startupmanager?
[18:26] <jonah> randorfer, it's geforce 7300
[18:26] <_hopex> blkorpheus: nop. dont think so
[18:26] <blkorpheus> exactly
[18:28] <alber1> can i just plop whatever script i want into /etc/init.d ?

[18:29] <ActySofts> hello all
[18:29] <ajcates> hello
[18:29] <ActySofts> I'm having some serious problems with my mouse in gutsy
[18:29] <randorfer> jonah:  yeah, I was just reading that im sorry but I have never installed the beta nv drivers myself so I am not much help.  All I can say is that the nv guys are pretty good so hopefully your card will be supported soon(ish?)
[18:29] <hyper__ch> I have a problem: I can't play any videos anymore. I just see purple with some stripes... videos worked yesterday and I did not reboot meanwhile. It doesn't work in mplayer, vlc and gxine.....
[18:30] <jonah> randorfer, thanks for trying, i'll just have to hang out and hope someone can help in meantime
[18:30] <ActySofts> whenever I'm copying lots of files or big files, mostly from digital media (CDs, DVDs, flash drives, etc.), my mouse goes around the whole screen like crazy, clicks & double-clicks happen randomly and so on
[18:30] <Denyerec> Can  LTSP-5 be easily installed on Ubuntu Desktop edition?
[18:30] <ActySofts> does anyone have any ideas why it's happening?
[18:30] <gnychis> I'm trying to install vmware-server from the commercial repository, but i get "vmware-server: Depends: libssl0.9.7 but it is not installable"
[18:30] <randorfer> denyerec:  which end of LTSP-5
[18:31] <Denyerec> I'm just about to build a new server machine, and can't decide whether to use Server or Desktop edition
[18:31] <randorfer> denyerec:  Server or client
[18:31] <Denyerec> Server edition says it comes bundled
[18:31] <Denyerec> (Server)
[18:31]  * javaJake is back (gone 00:11:53)
[18:31] <ActySofts> if I'm correct it happens since updates a few days ago, I think 3 days ago
[18:31] <Denyerec> But I'm assuming the only *real* difference between Server and Desktop editions is the default packages?
[18:31] <Pici> !away > javaJake (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
 sort of
[18:31] <randorfer> Denyerec:  it is rather easy, simple apt-get, the server and desktop versions of ubuntu really arn't much different, just different packages on install
[18:31] <Denyerec> uh oh
[18:32] <Denyerec> oh ok.
[18:32] <javaJake> "use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently" - I do use /away. :/
[18:32] <eegore> Adept updater has notified me of an upgrade, if I go that route, isit going to break any of my existing apps and packages or will it leave those dependencies in place?
[18:32] <Denyerec> Also - have any of you installed onto RAID5 using software raid before? :)
[18:32] <Denyerec> I have 3 blank drives sat here, and want to give it a shot.
[18:32] <randorfer> denyerec:  should ask yourself though, if you are installing a server do you need everything that the desktop comes with (more packages that arn't as strictly checked for security)
[18:32] <ActySofts> can anyone help me?
[18:33] <SpeakerMania> Is there a good program that creates .ico (icon) files? Similar to IconArt for windows...
[18:33] <YetiChick> gnychis:  Last I looked, Gutsy's commercial repos weren't up yet.  What repo are you using?
[18:33] <Profanephobia> ActySofts, with wha
whenever I'm copying lots of files or big files, mostly from digital media (CDs, DVDs, flash drives, etc.), my mouse goes around the whole screen like crazy, clicks & double-clicks happen randomly and so on
[18:33] <ActySofts> that
[18:33] <hyper__ch> I have a problem: I can't play any videos anymore. I just see purple with some stripes... videos worked yesterday and I did not reboot meanwhile. It doesn't work in mplayer, vlc and gxine.....
[18:33] <randorfer> denyerec:  software raid in my experience is rather bad -- granted that was mac software raid.  If you really are looking to build a server you should get harware raid support....
[18:33] <ActySofts> it's very annoying, not to say that I get lots of settings turned upside down...
[18:33] <Denyerec> randorfer - I think I will install the server edition, then just apt-get the desktop
[18:34] <Denyerec> Minimisse the initially installed fluff.
[18:34] <Denyerec> And just add what I need as and when,
[18:34] <blkorpheus> Denyerec, I did that
[18:34] <Profanephobia> ActySofts, and this is when you use the GUI to copy and paste right... not terminal
[18:34] <ActySofts> yes
[18:34] <randorfer> denyerec:  consider installing fluxbox or something else that is a lot lighter on your server, less packages / faster for serving over ssh if you are remote administrating
[18:34] <gnychis> YetiChick: ahhh yeah, it appears i'm using feisty's
[18:35] <Denyerec> I'm a sucker for the Gnome config tools... :)
[18:35] <ActySofts> I recommend Xfce, it has a very good GUI and is extremely light
[18:35] <logik-bomb> how do I block a user to their /home folder?
[18:35] <Denyerec> chown it to root and remove o-rwx ?
[18:35] <Denyerec> ¬_¬
[18:35] <ActySofts> Fluxbox is way too simple, it's good for livecd-only distros, like DSL
[18:35] <Denyerec> Xfce wouldn't support a clutch of gnoke config utils tho would it ?
[18:35] <ActySofts> it does
[18:36] <Denyerec> it does?
[18:36] <ActySofts> actually, you can start gnome & kde services to run most gnome & kde apps
[18:36] <randorfer> denyerec:  it will just install the needed gnome dependecies
[18:36] <ActySofts> directly from the gui
[18:36] <Denyerec> Ah ok.
[18:36] <Denyerec> I will take a look at all this when I get back
[18:36] <Denyerec> brb
[18:36] <YetiChick> gnychis:  that would probably be your problem.  :)  I moved from vmware workstation to virtualbox when I upgraded to Gutsy and VMWare broke.
[18:36] <ActySofts> bump to my problem
[18:36] <randorfer> actysofts;  what is it?
[18:37] <ActySofts> ahh...this: <ActySofts> whenever I'm copying lots of files or big files, mostly from digital media (CDs, DVDs, flash drives, etc.), my mouse goes around the whole screen like crazy, clicks & double-clicks happen randomly and so on
[18:37] <ActySofts> it's been doing that since 2 or 3 days ago, can't remember exactly
[18:37] <randorfer> actysofts:  ahh the question I saw and completely ignored because I have no idea.  I would check my xorg.conf and make sure my mouse settings are ok
[18:38] <YetiChick> gnychis:  And I have VMWare Server running on a Feisty server which I now cannot upgrade 'cause that one is actually running vital services.
[18:38] <_4a42_> blkorpheus: well thats interesting, looks like it was hardware...
[18:38] <ActySofts> well if they weren't it would that all the time not only when copying lots of or big stuff from the gui
[18:38] <blkorpheus> _4a42_, wow, there you go
[18:38] <YetiChick> gnychis:  Fortunately, I test everything on my workstation before I touch the servers.
[18:38] <khertan> Hi

[18:39] <ActySofts> it gets very annoying to have the freshly copied files deleted
[18:39] <marcus> Hi everyone.  I've been trying to connect to my school's wireless network [I'm running 7.10 on a Dell Inspiron E1505].  Odd thing is that a few of the WAPs allow a connection just fine, but most of them refuse to give me an IP.  I've been using Wicd for this, and it appears from my ifconfig that eth1:avahi is pulling an IP, but my wireless interface, eth1, is not.   Any ideas?
[18:39] <randorfer> actysofts:  not necessarily, I would still check there first. but again, I have no real insight -- also why move large amounts of stuff with the gui...just cp from the command line?
[18:39] <bullgard4> sda1 is a memory stick vfat formatted under Windows. 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda1' says: "This does not look like a partition table. Probably you selected the wrong device." What is a better tool to analyze this memory stick?
[18:40] <ActySofts> it's way easier to select 30 files or so and drag them somewhere
[18:40] <ActySofts> gnome is the only enviro doing this, it didn't on xfce and nor on kde...other distros I tried didn't as well
[18:40] <gellioth> how to convert from VCR to DVD? anyone knows?
[18:40] <randorfer> actysofts, tab complete and * , its what id do if the gui was giving me headaches
[18:40] <erUSUL> bullgard4: is fdisk -l /dev/sda
[18:41] <marcus> gellioth, do you mean VHS to DVD?
[18:41] <gellioth> yes marcus
[18:41] <ActySofts> yes but...why keep the gui broken?
[18:41] <erUSUL> bullgard4: sda1 is the first partition not the thisk that's why it complains about part table
[18:41] <randorfer> actysofts:  maybe it is a nautilus thing if it only happens on gnome, try installing a diff file manager and see how that goes?
[18:41] <erUSUL> bullgard4: use gparted it's graphical
[18:41] <ax> anyone know of a tutorial for installing gutsy _from_ a usb drive [not onto one]
[18:41] <marcus> gellioth, I'm not sure if there is a commercially available way to do this.  I know that there are many services that do it.
[18:41] <randorfer> actysofts:  like the kde file manager (cant think of the name off the top of my head)
[18:41] <ActySofts> i'll try thunar and see
[18:42] <TechnoViking> I'm trying out the Moomex theme(very nice dark theme) and Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice are not getting the menu bar settings from the theme. Any ideas?
[18:42] <bullgard4> erUSUL: Gparted does not show this memory stick.
[18:42] <ActySofts> anyway, is there any way to enlarge ext3 partitions? I don't want to test PM8 because it has bad support for ext2
[18:42] <randorfer> bullgard4 make sure you have it selected under the devices tab of gparted
[18:42] <gellioth> ok I dont have a good answer ... yet
[18:42] <dany700> ragazzi sto usando wget con l'opzione --no-parents ma me la scarica lo stesso la directory superiore... come mai?!
[18:42] <gellioth> but thanks :-)
[18:42] <IanLiu> how do I make a !bin bash file executes without Ubuntu asking if I want to show its content or run in terminal?
[18:43] <dany700> ops, sorry... wrong channel...
[18:43] <blkorpheus> :)
[18:43] <erUSUL> bullgard4: try from command line 'gparted /dev/sda'
[18:43] <marcus> Hi everyone.  I've been trying to connect to my school's wireless network [I'm running 7.10 on a Dell Inspiron E1505].

[18:43] <randorfer> actysofts:  expanding ext3 partitions should be simple...just use gparted from a live (its resizing the closed filesystems --hfs , ntfs  -- that causes headaches)
[18:43] <shinta> re
[18:44] <aidehua> What GNOME applet is it that lets me switch user?
[18:44] <DrakeJustice_> IanLiu: sudo chmod +x ./thefile
[18:44] <ActySofts> ok, thanks, I'll use PM8 to cut down from ntfs and use the live cd to add the space to ubuntu
[18:44] <DrakeJustice_> IanLiu: the move the file to the /usr/bin folder and type 'thefile' at terminal
[18:44] <ActySofts> aidehua: um...the log-out one?

[18:46] <g-e> thanks!
[18:46] <bullgard4> randorfer: I must have made a mistake in the past. Now Gparted does show the fat16 memory stick. I beg your pardon.
[18:46] <g-e> and infos about swap?
[18:47] <blkorpheus> jonah, if you'd read that readme you'd have your issue resolved

[18:47] <dgjones> marcus, just something to check, is the wireless network configured for wireless b and wireless G? I found that one of my laptops wouldn't connect to my router until I enables b&G, could be something completely different, but maybe something simple
[18:48] <DrakeJustice_> g-e: cat /proc/meminfo shows swap
[18:48] <ax> randorfer: all i see is how to install it onto a pendrive [and it requires a cd burner]
[18:48] <marcus> dgjones, where is the configuration to activate B&G?
[18:48] <dgjones> marcus, its part of the router settings, something you'd need to check at the school
[18:49] <jonah> blkorpheus, which readme do you mean, i've tried the installer --help thing
[18:49] <g-e> DrakeJustice_: yupp. thanks. somehow my system behaves slow. but it doesnt seem to be because of swap.
[18:49] <DrakeJustice_> g-e: if your system is slow.. your physical ram is gone... lol
[18:49] <randorfer> ax: one sec let me look
[18:49] <bullgard4> erUSUL: sudo gparted /dev/sda works all right. Thank you.
[18:49] <blkorpheus> the nvidia readme on nvidia's site. The link was on the page you used to download the driver
[18:50] <maus-maeus> hi can anyone help me
[18:50] <ax> thanks
[18:50] <g-e> DrakeJustice_: yes. but i dont use much apps and i have 192mb
[18:50] <marcus> dgjones, I'm IMing our network admin right now.  One second.
[18:51] <maus-maeus> i have an ATI graphiccard and after the install of 3D i only get a empty screen
[18:51] <randorfer> ax:  follow this walkthrough http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ and instead of mounting your cdrom drive mount the iso image
[18:51] <bullgard4> erUSUL: fdisk -l /dev/sda works all right. Thank you for correcting my mistake.
[18:51] <DrakeJustice_> g-e: 192 is not much for a whole desktop... try enlightenment or fluxbox or xfce if you haven't yet
[18:51] <g-e> DrakeJustice_: well i will buy some ram these days.
[18:51] <AlanMacdonald> hello
[18:52] <randorfer> ax:  mybad, wrong walkthrough
[18:52] <DrakeJustice_> g-e: good idea... more ram is never bad
[18:52] <maus-maeus> HELP HELP HELP
[18:52] <DrakeJustice_> anyone have a problem? join #slinux and i will try to help
[18:52] <AlanMacdonald> I am having some difficulty installing eyeos.  Could anyone please help me find the problem?
[18:52] <DrakeJustice_> maus-maeus: im not sure about you... ATI sucks in linux...
[18:53] <maus-maeus> yes i see
[18:53] <Ljorring> my whole system freezes (Ubuntu 7.10), when I try to connect to a wireless network.. I have tried to google a result, but without result
[18:53] <Ljorring> can someone help me?
[18:53] <Pici> DrakeJustice_: please be constructive.
[18:53] <maus-maeus> but i like to play secondlife in linux lol
[18:53] <Pici> !ati | maus-maeus
[18:53] <ubotu> maus-maeus: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[18:53] <Juan> buenas noches
[18:54] <DrakeJustice_> maus-maeus: buy an intel card... lol... check /etc/xorg.conf for the composite extension... change from 0 to 1 and back and see if it helps... also check google
[18:54] <randorfer> ax:  Sorry, I could have sworn there was a walkthrough on pendrivelinux.com still looking for you
[18:54] <bullgard4> randorfer: The other day I tried to label '80Backup' an USB hard disk fat partition using the command mkfs.vfat -n 80Backup -F 32 /dev/sdb3 and failed. What is a better tool to label a fat partition?
[18:54]  * Juan like the Ubuntu
[18:54] <maus-maeus> thx i will search for it
[18:54] <ax> randorfer: that's cool, no worries
[18:54] <AlanMacdonald> maus-maeus there was a bit in the release notes about the potential probs, I wrote it down since I have an ATI card, 2 secs and I'll tell you what it said
[18:54] <Ljorring> please help me, I cant use my Ubuntu at the moment. It hangs, when I try to connect to the internet throuh my wireless adapter
[18:55] <Pici> !patience
[18:55] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[18:55] <DrakeJustice_> Ljorring: a broadcom card?
[18:55] <DrakeJustice_> props to Pici
[18:55] <Maenad> i just installed Ubuntu and accidentally changed my settings in the Screen and Graphics Preferences window (under the Graphics tab), is there a way to reset this to what it was originally? because now i cant get any resolution beyond 800x600 no matter what combination of two drivers i try in that screen
[18:55] <Maenad> (btw im using Radeon x600)
[18:56] <randorfer> bullgard4:  I am not sure, id look around gparted and qtparted for that functionality
[18:56] <Ljorring> I dont think so
[18:56] <jonah> blkorpheus, what this: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/169.04/README/chapter-04-section-02.html
[18:56] <DShepherd> Pici, are you an ubuntu dev by chance?
[18:56] <jonah> blkorpheus, i did this
[18:56] <alon> Hi all
[18:56] <Pici> DShepherd: Nope.
[18:56] <src> !sparc
[18:56] <ubotu> Have a look here for Docs http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/sparc/ KnownIssues and TODO are on the wiki.
[18:56] <alon> Is this the right channel to be asking Hardy Heron questions?
[18:56] <AlanMacdonald> it said there may be some probs and you might have to add Option "LVDSBiosNativeMode" "false" to your xorg.conf in the driver section
[18:56] <DrakeJustice_> Ljorring: hmmm have you re-installed your wireless driver's yet?
[18:56] <erUSUL> bullgard4: no problem
[18:56] <Ljorring> its a realtek wireless network adapter
[18:56] <Pici> alon: No, #ubuntu+1 please.
[18:56] <jonah> blkorpheus, can you highlight what readme and what part of this readme cos i can't see what is sposed to be helping me
[18:56] <DShepherd> Pici, ok
[18:56] <alon> Pici: thanks!
[18:56] <Ljorring> when I booted into Ubuntu, it autoinstalled some drivers
[18:56] <sharperguy> alon, #ubuntu+1
[18:56] <blkorpheus> BETA DRIVERS are not supported here man.
[18:57] <Ljorring> and I got the wireless-icon on the top right of my screen
[18:57] <blkorpheus> You have all you need.
[18:57] <Maenad> i just installed Ubuntu and accidentally changed my settings in the Screen and Graphics Preferences window (under the Graphics tab), is there a way to reset this to what it was originally? because now i cant get any resolution beyond 800x600 no matter what combination of two drivers i try in that screen (btw im using Radeon x600)
[18:57] <Ljorring> I can use the tools, but system hangs, when I try to connect to network
[18:57] <gerhard> what would this mean: "grit down and bite the bullet" ?
[18:57] <DrakeJustice_> Ljorring: under 'System > Administration > Restricted Driver' uncheck the wireless, hook up to the WIRED internet and check the wireless box again...
[18:57] <gerhard> i can translate "bite the bullet" but not the rest
[18:57] <AlanMacdonald> Ljorring does your network use any encryption?
[18:57] <gerhard> what does grit down mean?
[18:57] <gerhard> go down to the ground?
[18:58] <Ljorring> Im not in Ubuntu right now
[18:58] <Niteye> i want to run an IRCD for me & friends, which one is recommended (and also a secure one)
[18:58] <gerhard> or bite one's teath together?
[18:58] <Ljorring> it uses WEP encryption, yes
[18:58] <gerhard> teeth sry
[18:58] <sharperguy> gerhard, second one i think
[18:58] <Dr_willis> 'grit down' -> toughen up, :) 'brace yourself' 'prepare for pain'
[18:58] <gerhard> thank you
[18:58] <gerhard> sorry for offtoic
[18:58] <DrakeJustice_> Maenad: check /etc/X11/ for files named anything 'LIKE' xorg.conf... but NOT xorg.conf and change the oldest one back to 'xorg.conf'
[18:58] <Pici> gerhard: try #linguistics next time
[18:58] <AlanMacdonald> so you configured it using network manager to tell it the password etc?
[18:58] <gerhard> thanks you helped me a lot :)
[18:58] <sharperguy> gerhard, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:59] <Maenad> DrakeJustice_: yjamls
[18:59] <Maenad> *thanks
[18:59] <Ljorring> yes I did that. I noticed, that it doesnt autodetect networks in range.. I have to manually configure it
[18:59] <DrakeJustice_> Maenad: yup be careful tho...
[18:59] <Ljorring> I have seen Ubuntu on other computers autodetect networks, when it works
[18:59] <AlanMacdonald> do you know the name of the the network?
[18:59] <Ljorring> yes, I know all the details of the network
[19:00] <gellioth> hey VHS to DVD!!!
[19:00] <NewUserr> hi can anybody tell me if amule is still working
[19:00] <gellioth> I found this http://forum.videohelp.com/topic307679.html
[19:00] <javaJake> wolliw, hey
[19:00] <DrakeJustice_> NewUserr: why would aMule not work... just make sure your 'server.met' file is up to date
[19:00] <Maenad> DrakeJustice_: i see xorg.conf.1, .2, .3, .4, .failsafe, and .failsafe.bak
[19:00] <NewUserr> i cant loa servers on amule
[19:00] <NewUserr> load
[19:00] <AlanMacdonald> the first time I got my wireless working I used from the command line the following as root:  /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid "EnterNameOfNetworkHere" key s:EnterPasswordHere
[19:01] <Maenad> DrakeJustice_: im not sure which one to choose
[19:01] <DShepherd> !res | Maenad more fun stuff to read when you have the chance
[19:01] <ubotu> Maenad more fun stuff to read when you have the chance: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

[19:01] <gellioth> marcus I found this if you are interested in convert VHS to DVD http://forum.videohelp.com/topic307679.html
[19:01] <DrakeJustice_> Maenad: .4 is the oldest
[19:01] <Shapeshifter> how can I run "vpnc-connect" and "vpnc-disconnect" as a normal user?
[19:01] <Ljorring> ok, ty I will keep that in mind
[19:01] <Maenad> DrakeJustice_: thanks
[19:01] <CaBa\> is it normal that my backlight dims down as soon as i start video playback with vlc? is this vlc mixing in there or is any gnome-power* thing involved?
[19:01] <bullgard4> randorfer: to label a harddisk fat32 partition? I have tried that last night and did not succeed.
[19:01] <NewUserr> DrakeJustice where could i find a new server.met?
[19:01] <NewUserr> mine doesnt work anymore
[19:01] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: use the vpnc plugin for network manager
[19:01] <gellioth> sorry,  I have bad english
[19:02] <marcus> Thanks, gellioth
[19:02] <DrakeJustice_> Maenad: yup
[19:02] <Shapeshifter> CaBa\: Uhm, I would prefer to use my own script
[19:02] <lg188> how to make a python install?? i have the files but how to make a executable file ..for install
[19:03] <javaJake> wolliw, http://pastebin.ca/791089
[19:03] <wolliw> javaJake: k
[19:03] <AlanMacdonald> I have PHP and Apache installed.  Anyone know why when I run a certain php file Firefox brings up an open Dialog for gedit instead of displaying the page?
[19:03] <randorfer> bullgard4:  did you try with qtparted?  (gparted and qtparted are the only gui tools I know of for linux for that type of thing -- note there may be better tools for it but I don't do that type of thing often)
[19:03] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: well you cannot set an sbit on scripts... you need a daemon that runs as root or a binary that performs your action and runs suid
[19:03] <DrakeJustice_> lg188: sudo chmod +x ./thefile
[19:03] <javaJake> wolliw, I have to be frank, the Mac isn't mine, so I don't have the real config in front of me. The only thing that should be off are the node numbers
[19:04] <Shapeshifter> CaBa\: mhh, ok
[19:04] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: what makes u not want to use the network manager thing?
[19:04] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: u have an encrypted group /  user password and cannot enter it at the network manager thing?
[19:04] <gellioth> I am hungry.... have a good day!!!
[19:04] <javaJake> wolliw, the node numbers, as in the numbers from fw/ all the way to disk but not after disk, are off. The numbers after "disk" should be accurate, etc. etc.
[19:05]  * genii sips a coffee
[19:05] <wolliw> javaJake: yeah, i got that
[19:05] <javaJake> wolliw, just checking. Some people like everything spelled out to them. ;)
[19:05] <Shapeshifter> CaBa\: uhm, no, only that I've been having fun writing a script for the past few hours (noob), using zenity and integrating a wizard which can create .conf files from templates from the local universities or from scratch ;) Didn't know there's this plugin. But I'll have a look at it.
[19:06] <wolliw> javaJake: Yeah, I know :)
[19:06] <marcus> dgjones, I asked my admin about the B&G thing, and he said both are enabled.  Any other ideas?
[19:07] <javaJake> wolliw, and for the root major/minor numbers, I used this page:
[19:07] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: its in the packages... just install "network-manager-vpnc" and u will have a menu in your network manager icon... considering that you _use_ network manager ;)
[19:07] <NewUserr> everytime when i try to load servers on amule amule is closin itself can anybody please help me
[19:07] <javaJake> wolliw, nvm, my mouse just died. :/
[19:07] <neverblue> NewUserr, run it in a terminal ?
[19:07] <randorfer> caba, shapeshifter:  the vpn client for network-manager will not work for all vpns fyi
[19:07] <Shapeshifter> CaBa\: I installed that thing but there's no change in there. Do I need to restart the network manager?
[19:08] <wolliw> javaJake: :(
[19:08] <NewUserr> neverblue how?
[19:08] <CaBa\> randorfer: he uses vpnc by hand at the moment... and thats exactly what networkmanager does
[19:08] <marcus> I've been trying to connect to my school's wireless network [I'm running 7.10 on a Dell Inspiron E1505].  Odd thing is that a few of the WAPs allow a connection just fine, but most of them refuse to give me an IP.  I've been using Wicd for this, and it appears from my ifconfig that eth1:avahi is pulling an IP, but my wireless interface, eth1, is not.   Any ideas?
[19:08] <javaJake> wolliw, not the comp's fault - I didn't notice the battery meter on the mouse. Whoopsy. :P
[19:08] <dgjones> marcus, i can't think of anything else thats obvious, its probably better if you ask the question again in the channel
[19:08] <neverblue> NewUserr, is amule an installed application on your system ?
[19:08] <bullgard4> randorfer: I tried to use GParted. GParted can set a disklabel but not a partition label.
[19:08] <randorfer> caba:  ahh -- i just saw the last line of the coversation
[19:08] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: i dont think so... u dont have a VPN-Connections thing when u click on the tray icon?
[19:08] <marcus> Done.  Thanks, dgjones.
[19:09] <NewUserr> yes neverblue
[19:09] <CaBa\> randorfer: cisco4ever :P
[19:09] <neverblue> NewUserr, do you know what a Terminal is ?
[19:09] <NewUserr> yes but i dont often work with it neverblue to be honest
[19:09] <DrakeJustice_> newbs that want a lesson goto #slinux
[19:09] <randorfer> caba\:  we have a custom cisco vpn client that dosn't mesh with vpnc
[19:09] <Shapeshifter> CaBa\: no.
[19:10] <wolliw> javaJake: Have you seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=481037
[19:10] <Shapeshifter> CaBa\: I only have "manual configuration"
[19:10] <neverblue> NewUserr,  but you do, none-the-less, so if you open a terminal, then type in the command to start your amule application
[19:10] <randorfer> bullgard4:  I would re-ask you question, I am not sure of any other tools for what you are trying to do
[19:10] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: well, that looks like you didnt use networkmanager up to now
[19:11] <bullgard4> randorfer: ok.
[19:11] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: make a backup of /etc/network/interfaces, then clear it except everything that involves the "lo" device an reboot... that should do the thing... if u dont like it (namely networkmanager) just restore the old file and reboot again :P
[19:11] <randorfer> bullgard4:  sorry I could not help you more
[19:11] <bullgard4> np
[19:12] <Shapeshifter> CaBa\: I am using it to switch wireless connections when outside. But I hade kind of a problem because at home I just receive an IP from my provider and everythings fine, then I went to my girlfriend and set up pppoe, and now I wasn't able to connect to the internet back home so I had to run dhclient manually. Haven't figured it out yet
[19:12] <lg188> DrakeJustice_: i will try it
[19:12] <irvken> no sound
[19:12] <javaJake> wolliw, I breezed through it. It involves a CD not booting
[19:12] <irvken> does ubuntu do sound?
[19:12] <javaJake> wolliw, got a dinky USB mouse. :P
[19:12] <wolliw> javaJake: yeah, but it's firewire
[19:12] <wolliw> i don't think it is very helpful though
[19:12] <randorfer> !sound | irvken
[19:12] <ubotu> irvken: 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
[19:13] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: well those things NetworkManager is supposed to make easier
[19:13] <marcus> I've been trying to connect to my school's wireless network [I'm running 7.10 on a Dell Inspiron E1505].  Odd thing is that a few of the WAPs allow a connection just fine, but most of them refuse to give me an IP.  I've been using Wicd for this, and it appears from my ifconfig that eth1:avahi is pulling an IP, but my wireless interface, eth1, is not.   Any ideas?
[19:13] <javaJake> wolliw, oh, true true
[19:13] <CaBa\> Shapeshifter: for me it also doesnt - since it doesnt cooperate with my wireless device too nice :P
[19:13] <Shapeshifter> CaBa\: well I'll just do what you said. brb
[19:13] <irvken> yes, done all that, I was being facetious
[19:13] <irvken> it's a bug
[19:14] <wolliw> javaJake: Here is a related thread from the Yellow Dog Linux mailing list
[19:14] <wolliw> http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/pipermail/yellowdog-general/2003-December/010938.html
[19:14] <randorfer> irvken:  heh, try installing pulseaudio?
[19:14] <irvken> that mepis doesn't have
[19:14] <irvken> but he mepis doesn't have compix :(
[19:14] <NewUserr> everytime when i try to load servers on amule amule is closin itself can anybody please help me
[19:14] <javaJake> wolliw, *gasp*
[19:14] <wolliw> javaJake: ?
[19:15] <randorfer> irvken:  I would try installing pulseaudio , it may work and fix your sound issues.  I make no promises though.  Google for a walkthrough if your interested
[19:15] <Cr3d1ts> Hi. Can anyone help me with vsfpd? :)
[19:15] <javaJake> wolliw, nvm, I read the next post. ("No it's possible") :P
[19:15] <lmosher> Hey all, I'm having an issue getting sound to work in virtualbox XP guest and my gutsy host. Sounds works in both, just not at the same time. If I play a sound in the guest, it steals the sound and I'm unable to play sounds in the host. Any ideas how to configure this to work?
[19:16] <Vad> My .ogg video playback is broken - I only see a green screen. When I tried opening it in MPlayer, it said that codec wasn't available. What can I do?
[19:16] <kasansweat> I just discovered the wonders of X forwarding thru SSH--messing with an old box, and I somehow set it to open new X apps on the home box, instead of forwarding them. Trying to figure out how to change it back (I think I followed a tutorial here on autologin) Any ideas?
[19:16] <cruocitae> Which Video card company has better drivers for Linux? I'm hesitating between a GeForce 8400 and a Radeon 2400. Which should I choose?
[19:16] <randorfer> lmosher:  install pulse audio it will let you break the stream up and controll where it goes (and at what volume)
[19:16] <ricardo> any one have play america's army in linux?
[19:16] <Vad> nVidia traditionally does, although ati is making improvements. But go with nVidia for now.
[19:17] <YetiChick> lmosher: Oddly, this "just works" for me with ALSA and an ancient SBLive.
[19:17] <kasansweat> cruocitae: I believe GeForce are nVidia--go with that one
[19:17] <Vad> cruocitae: also, look up the cards on ubuntuhcl.org
[19:17] <wolliw> javaJake: "'ve seen this when people try to follow that howto without
[19:17] <wolliw> understanding just what they're up to.  The problem is that on various
[19:17] <wolliw> machines the OF aliases that Bill talks about (fw, node, etc.) aren't
[19:17] <wolliw> correct.  for example my OF fw alias points to the wrong address."
[19:17] <YetiChick> lmosher: But with other sound cards - onboard mostly - I've had to go the pulseaudio route.
[19:17] <NewUserr> everytime when i try to load servers on amule amule is closin itself can anybody please help me
[19:17] <wolliw> (sorry for the spam)
[19:17] <DrthHmstr> I'll think about it

[19:17] <jimjam> I have two Ubuntu installations on my computer. I have a 6.06 on my hda and a 7.10 on my hdb. The 6.06 was installed last, so the GRUB runs from there. I would like to only have Gutsy installed, while keeping all my customizations. Any idea what I would do?
[19:17] <cruocitae> Vad: thanks.
[19:18] <javaJake> wolliw, does it matter where the boot partition is located (first block and all)?
[19:18] <_hopex> blkorpheus: sorry, i had to do something, but I still need help to get the window title bars font size to normal, can you help please?

[19:18] <NewUserr> bradv never did it could you please help me thnx
[19:18] <lmosher> YetiChick, Yeah I have an onboard (laptop) OK thanks for the tips!!
[19:18] <wolliw> yeah
[19:18] <randorfer> NewUser:  if you are looking for a limewire replacement on ubuntu google for frostwire, much easier to setup and get going imo that amule
[19:18] <javaJake> wolliw, and he says first block is 64, which is part of the whole 2-4-8-16-48-64-128-256 number string thing
[19:18] <Assassyn> hi
[19:18] <lmosher> randorfer, Ok, so I install pulse audio ... how do I set it up? Will this be self-explainatory

[19:19] <NewUserr> randorfer yes i have frostwire but amule is much better
[19:19] <javaJake> wolliw, but maybe it's just because that's the block after the partition map. XD
[19:19] <Assassyn> i try to install ubuntu server 7.10 in mware and when 1st screen shows up
[19:19] <Assassyn> i canmot press eter
[19:19] <javaJake> wolliw, according to his output
[19:19] <wolliw> probably
[19:19] <Assassyn> *enter
[19:19] <randorfer> lmosher:  I would go to pulseaudio.com I *think* they have a walkthrough
[19:19] <NewUserr> yes bradv i know where the terminal is :)
[19:19] <randorfer> pulseaudio.org *
[19:19] <lmosher> randorfer, ok thanks for the pointer, I'll give that a shot.
[19:20] <bradv> NewUserr: Okay, well type amule and hit enter.
[19:20] <Assassyn> elllou
[19:20] <NewUserr> yes bradv done
[19:20] <javaJake> wolliw, whew, I got the initrd part right! I figured that out before we even rebooted! wooo! :P
[19:20] <Assassyn> how can i install in text mode? i hit esc button but dunno how to boot in text mode
[19:20] <DrakeJustice_> pulseaudio ^^ woot
[19:20] <wolliw> javaJake: Always nice to be a step ahead, eh?
[19:20] <javaJake> wolliw, exactly
[19:20] <NewUserr> bradv but doesnt work
[19:21] <randorfer> drakejustice: eye candy for you audio ;-)
[19:21] <javaJake> wolliw, mm, but apparently you need to do some slight mods to the generated image.. he later mounts and edits it
[19:21] <DrakeJustice_> randorfer: lol... indeed
[19:21] <wolliw> hmm
[19:21] <bradv> NewUserr: please explain. Did you get an error message?
[19:22] <DrakeJustice_> randorfer: linux need more of these revolutionary ideas... compiz fusion must have brought linux at least a million new users...
[19:22] <wolliw> javaJake: let me read through it in a bit, I haven't eaten since yesterday
[19:22] <javaJake> wolliw, the mkofboot thing did the install of the yaboot.conf and the "blessing" with "Holy Penguin Pee" for me, so that's good...
[19:22] <javaJake> wolliw, OK, hey, can you be on in 2 hours?
[19:22] <NewUserr> bradv no but amule is working but i cannot load servers dont know why perhaps my server-met isnt working anymore
[19:22] <javaJake> wolliw, I could really use your expertise if I need it. :P
[19:22] <wolliw> javaJake: I'm just going to eat a frozen burrito
[19:22] <randorfer> drakeJustice:  aye, making it look good / extra functionality that normal people can use ...
[19:22] <javaJake> wolliw, lol, 'k
[19:22] <DrakeJustice_> if the experts stop worrying about newbie support' we could revolutionize the desktop itself... it's open SOURCE not open computer... get programming ppl what are you doing!?!?
[19:22] <NewUserr> brav it was always working before
[19:22] <NewUserr> bradv it was always working before
[19:23]  * genii cleans the holy Penguin Pee from the coffepot and puts a fresh batch on
[19:23] <wolliw> just saying i'm a little too hungry to think well right now
[19:23] <DrakeJustice_> genii: gimme a cup
[19:23] <_hopex> blkorpheus: sorry, i had to do something, but I still need help to get the window title bars font size to normal, can you help please?
[19:23] <randorfer> DrakeJustice:  the reason we help newbies is to increase the market share and thus be able to put more of a lean on hardware vendors to release their binaries
[19:23] <javaJake> wolliw, OH OH! OH! OH! "Note that the disk@0:2 is from the FireWire address and 2 is the bootstrap partition." - THAT's what's wrong! 2 is NOT our bootstrap partition! :P
[19:23] <javaJake> wolliw, so, of course, the error means that there's no boot data at the location. Duh!
[19:23] <bradv> NewUserr: I suggest you take your problem to #amule.
[19:23]  * genii slides DrakeJustice_ a mug o coffee
[19:24] <wolliw> cool
[19:24]  * javaJake gives wolliw a hug
[19:24] <DrakeJustice_> randorfer: i kno... im helping as many newbies as possible while programming... it is all about application interface... you know i read on a PRO news site today there is no official 'good' linux bloggin tool?
[19:24] <NewUserr> bradv yes but nobody is answering there :(
[19:24] <Assassyn> hey
[19:24] <Assassyn> helllp
[19:24] <Assassyn> god damn
[19:24]  * DrakeJustice_ chugs coffee, burns self, smokes one and returns to terminal...
[19:25] <PuppiesAtWork> Will Ubuntu run fine on the $200 Wal-Mart PC?
[19:25] <Assassyn> can i swear?
[19:25] <DrakeJustice_> PuppiesAtWork: it won't... super slow
[19:25] <randorfer> puppiesatwork:  maybe? depends on what hardware it has?
[19:25] <wolliw> javaJake: know if it works yet?
[19:25] <PuppiesAtWork> DrakeJustice_: WHat slows it down so?
[19:25] <DrakeJustice_> PuppiesAtWork: gOS kernel is tuned for it... maybe xubuntu
[19:26] <DrakeJustice_> PuppiesAtWork: the hardware choice for the system was atrocious
[19:26] <javaJake> wolliw, won't until later.
[19:26] <bradv> NewUserr: Try posting a more detailed description of the problem. The reason you were asked to open it in the terminal is so you can see the error messages that come up. Try googling the error message to see if that helps as well.
[19:26] <javaJake> wolliw, may I PM?
[19:26] <PuppiesAtWork> DrakeJustice_: Well what is the main bottleneck?  I'm not afraid to replace a few parts
[19:26] <genii> PuppiesAtWork: Bring a livecd with you to walmart and test it
[19:26] <NewUserr> bradv ok thanks
[19:26] <randorfer> puppiesatwork drakejustice:  if its really horrendous you could use fluxbuntu
[19:26] <wolliw> javaJake: sure
[19:26] <soneil> PuppiesAtWork: the distro that ships with it is an ubuntu derivative.  so ubuntu will work .. it just may take some effort.  and an extra stick of ram wouldn't hurt
[19:26] <_hopex> I need help to get the window title bars font size to normal. Im using CompizFusion with Emerald, and even if I change the emerald theme the Font size is huge. The Gdm login text is as big as the window titles. Do you know how to change the this font size? Help please, I have half screen with the titles and need to fix this if want to use this machine.
[19:26] <Assassyn> AYONE INSTALLED UBUNTU 7.10 ON VMWARE?
[19:26] <DrakeJustice_> PuppiesAtWork: try fixing its graphics card... xubuntu runs in safe graphical mode on it... maybe some more kernel hacks i dunno
[19:27] <lmosher> Assassyn, As a guest?
[19:27] <Pici> !caps | Assassyn
[19:27] <PuppiesAtWork> Sucks
[19:27] <ubotu> Assassyn: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[19:27] <Assassyn> o you can`t read
[19:27] <kurunci> denis
[19:27] <preaction> !patience | Assassyn
[19:27] <Assassyn> i just asked 3 times and o one replied
[19:27] <ubotu> Assassyn: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[19:27] <lmosher> PuppiesAtWork, I think you're better off looking at an order linux OS. Fluxbox will also make it run fast (instead of gnome or KDE). xubuntu, as others suggested, might work. It's just a slower machine overall.
[19:27] <Assassyn> at least say you don`t have one
[19:28] <DrakeJustice_> Assassyn: i think 7.10 has issues with virtualization the team was playing with the kernel's vm...
[19:28] <kurunci> mamu vam pedersku
[19:28] <Zombie> Anyone familiar with the OpenVPN Configurator?
[19:28] <Assassyn> do`t keep me waiting if o one is able to answer
[19:28] <MasterShrek> my friend runs 7.10 on vmware server perfectly fine
[19:28] <preaction> Assassyn, read the IRC guidelines, being rude will not get you an answer. you aren't the only person in this channel.
[19:28] <narothepharoh> what are some good torrent downloaders like ktorrent but different?
[19:28] <randorfer> lmosher puppiesatwork:  fluxbuntu is an ubuntu derivative (like xubuntu) for fluxbox -- its lighter and faster, less support though in general
[19:28] <MasterShrek> running our web and mail servers right now, no gui tho i guess
[19:28] <preaction> narothepharoh, i use azereus, but it's a bit resource-intensive
[19:28] <PuppiesAtWork> lmosher: Yeah, I really don't mind using XFCE..I just basically need to check my email, surf the web, watch youtube, download videos, FTP stuff, and do web development
[19:28] <xgermx> @naro Deluge
[19:28] <Assassyn> ok thanks DrakeJustice_
[19:28] <MasterShrek> narothepharoh, deluge is good from what i hear
[19:29] <Assassyn> you need to yell in here to get an answer
[19:29] <Assassyn> sory
[19:29] <Pici> Assassyn: check out JeOS, that is more suitable for running inside a VM
[19:29] <xgermx> quick question, can Ubuntu natively mount HTFS?
[19:29] <joejaxx> randorfer: ?
[19:29] <DrakeJustice_> Assassyn: i couldn't get a VMware on 7.10 host to work... kernel module no compile...
[19:29] <NewUserr> amule is the best but it doesnt work on my computer :(
[19:29] <Pici> Assassyn: scratch that, its designed to run inside a vm
[19:29] <joejaxx> randorfer: less support?
[19:29] <narothepharoh> mastershrek: how do i get it?
[19:29] <DrakeJustice_> NewUserr: why not try FrostWire...? it works ok
[19:29] <randorfer> joejaxx: not a "offical" ubuntu derivative from my understanding
[19:29] <kurunci> does some badu understand me
[19:29] <MasterShrek> narothepharoh, not sure, ive never installed it and i dont use ubuntu
[19:29] <lmosher> PuppiesAtWork, Well if you don't need any graphical craziness, I would go with an older linux distro and a lightweight window manager and you'll be totally fine. I use to just use TWM, ugly but it worked fine and was super fast.
[19:30] <joejaxx> randorfer: ah i thought you meant hardware support :P i was about to say :P
[19:30] <DrakeJustice_> NewUserr: or seamlessrdp (google) shareza
[19:30] <DrakeJustice_> shareza is GPL, but dozeish
[19:30] <_hopex> where is the system default font size conf file?
[19:30] <MasterShrek> narothepharoh, i just use ktorrent :) i like the ip filter
[19:30] <NewUserr> DrakeJustice yes it does but amule has much more files
[19:30] <_hopex> or the conf file that defines de default font size?
[19:30] <DrakeJustice_> NewUserr: i suppose... tried MLdonkey yet? can't get more files than that... lol
[19:30] <_hopex> I need help to get the window title bars font size to normal. Im using CompizFusion with Emerald, and even if I change the emerald theme the Font size is huge. The Gdm login text is as big as the window titles. Do you know how to change the this font size? Help please, I have half screen with the titles and need to fix this if want to use this machine.
[19:30] <randorfer> joejaxx: no dont get me wrong I run it on a laptop and enjoy it.  Fluxbox though is something that you need to have a rather good grasp on and that not many people (compared to gnome, kde, xfce) run
[19:30] <PuppiesAtWork> lmosher: TWM?
[19:31] <lmosher> randorfer, I didn't know they had a flux for ubuntu. Problem is (last I checked) fluxbox was super slow in development. I used to use it, but its last version was from a LONG time ago.
[19:31] <DrakeJustice_> TWM ^^ woot
[19:31] <PuppiesAtWork> lmosher: I used to be all about windowmaker
[19:31] <joejaxx> lmosher: fluxbox is at version 1.0 final at themoment
[19:31] <NewUserr> DRakeJustice ok i will try Mldonkey
[19:31] <randorfer> lmosher:  http://www.fluxbuntu.org/js.html
[19:31] <Syco54645-work> hello, if i am wanting to do a grep on all the files that do not contain the line foobar, how would i do that?
[19:31] <narothepharoh> preaction how do i get azereus?
[19:31] <Syco54645-work> i just want to see the lines that do not contain foobar
[19:31] <bradv> _hopex: System, Preferences, Appearances, Fonts
[19:31] <preaction> !info azereus
[19:32] <ubotu> Package azereus does not exist in gutsy
[19:32] <lmosher> joejaxx, oh they finally got out of 0.9? I might check it out. randorfer: Can you run compiz fusion in fluxbox? Lol now there's a mixture of ideals.
[19:32] <dooglio> hey guys, anyone having trouble with bastille?
[19:32] <MasterShrek> !info azureus
[19:32] <bradv> !info azureus
[19:32] <ubotu> azureus: BitTorrent client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5.0.0repack1-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 6922 kB, installed size 7780 kB
[19:32] <preaction> !info azureus
[19:32] <joejaxx> lmosher: no you cannot
[19:32] <_hopex> bradv: really? Hops!
[19:32] <joejaxx> lmosher: compiz and fluxbox are both window managers
[19:32] <dooglio> I get "'DB4.0' is not a supported operating system."
[19:32] <preaction> narothepharoh, it's in the Universe repositories
[19:32] <randorfer> lmosher:  joejaxx is completely correct
[19:33] <DrakeJustice_> anyone need help?
[19:33] <dooglio> DrakeJustice_: yes
[19:33] <lmosher> joejaxx, Yeah, good point. Forgot that. I really like how compiz handles my windows (I don't use it for the eyecandy, honest). So I think I'd keep that over fluxbox, although I did like the cleanness
[19:33] <randorfer> lmosher:  Thats not to say though that you couldn't install fluxbuntu and then install compiz, it would just defete the point
[19:34] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: where do you get that error?
[19:34] <dooglio> DrakeJustice_: I'm having trouble with bastille on ubuntu fiesty
[19:34] <luke_> how do i make my terminal window remeber its hight and width
[19:34] <dooglio> DrakeJustice_: when I try "InteractiveBastille"
[19:34] <randorfer> lmosher:  the packages / underpinnis of fluxbuntu are much lighter than vanilla ubuntu so you may see a performance increase
[19:34] <dooglio> or just plain "bastille"
[19:34] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: bastille is over my head man... unfamiliar territory
[19:34] <_hopex> bradv: i have Ubuntu in another language and cannot find that option. Is it really called Fonts? I have that option missing... Don't know, oh...
[19:34] <bradv> luke_: Edit menu, Current profile
[19:34] <dooglio> i've been googling around but it looks like no one has anything
[19:34] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: Bastille changes fundamental things in the system i don't know about...
[19:35] <Ljorring> can someone help me set up my wireless networksadapter? I am currently conntected through a wired connection.. please help
[19:35] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: sry to hear that...
[19:35] <dooglio> DrakeJustice_: what do you use for a firewall?
[19:35] <bradv> _hopex: Are you using gutsy?
[19:35] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: sounds like issues for Debian 4 or something... i use kmyfirewall and tor
[19:35] <lmosher> randorfer, All things flux are generally faster. But I think combining fluxbox and compiz would be a little wrong. One is all about being slim and quick, the other is about looking pretty.
[19:35] <dooglio> ah
[19:35] <dooglio> this is a server, so i don't want gui
[19:35] <_hopex> bradv: Ubuntu 7.10. If you tell me how the icon looks like?
[19:35] <YetiChick> The weird thing about Compiz for me is the fact that Gnome "workspaces" and the cube's faces are completely different entities.  You can have tons of cubes, each with as many faces as you want.  'til you kill your machine with resource depletion.  :)
[19:36] <javaJake> wolliw, hey, stay around in case I need you later, if you don't mind. :)
[19:36] <randorfer> lmosher:  yep but it dosn't mean you can't do it, its linux you can make it do what ever you want given enough time / elbow grease
[19:36] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: still tor is much better console based firewall CAREFUL configuration tho...
[19:36] <NewUserr> where can i find the mldonkey?
[19:36] <bradv> _hopex: Go to the Appearance applet in the Preferences menu (It's a blue square icon). The third of the five tabs that come up should be the fonts tab.
[19:36] <lmosher> randorfer, Yep, and that's what I like about it. Alright anyway I have to go get quotes on hot plates. blah.
[19:36] <Vad> My .ogg video playback is broken - I only see a green screen. When I tried opening it in MPlayer, it said that codec wasn't available. What can I do?
[19:36] <dooglio> tor, eh? i'll check it out
[19:36] <DrakeJustice_> NewUserr: have you installed it yet, or are you looking for it?
[19:36] <luke_> bradv, cheers, i tried that but it doesnt have any hight and width settings
[19:36] <luke_> it remembers everything else except height and width
[19:36] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: if tor isn't fixed the right way it's an open door on a server...
[19:37] <dooglio> ouch
[19:37] <dooglio> i really like bastille though
[19:37] <NewUserr> DrakeJustice looking for it cant find it on synaptics
[19:37] <Assassyn> how can i install 7.10 server in text mode in vmware
[19:37] <kasansweat> YetiChick: Agreed on the weird workspace thing. Why do they do it like that?
[19:37] <Hex2> Hey, i got a really hard [for me] SSH tunneling problem, my friend needs me to control her comptuer, but she has a firewall, and cant access it, basicly she needs to ssh into me, open a port [via tunneling] then i log into her, on that port, and open port 5900 once logged in, we are both on ubuntu, and have tried various -R and -L commmands, all of which havent worked for us.
[19:37] <_hopex> bradv: now I see... Everything is set to 10. But it isn't the window title font size
[19:37] <Assassyn> i press Esc but i duno what to write there, liux text does not work
[19:37] <DrakeJustice_> NewUserr: google it... get the packages for KMLDonkey too, unless you want to use firefox to find files
[19:37] <brobostigon> hi,good evening
[19:38] <DrakeJustice_> brobostigon: hello
[19:38] <YetiChick> kasansweat:  Probably because it was easier to manage the desktops in GL the way that the Compiz developers chose to do it.  The "old" way might not have fit well into the new paradigm.
[19:38] <ramza3_> I have ubu 7.04 but I cant see the option to upgrade to 7.10?  I have synaptic open? where is the upgrade distro option?
[19:38] <dooglio> it's strange because i'm running my laptop as feisty and bastille works fine
[19:38] <dooglio> but on my server, which is feisty, it doesn't work
[19:38] <bradv> luke_: I thought it did. Anyway, you can change the font-size there. Not sure where you change how many lines are displayed. Some of the other terminals have a lot more options.
[19:39] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: maybe the ubuntu-server package has clues (file list)
[19:39] <_hopex> bradv: it is actually the window title font size, but it doesn't take any effect. I still see everithing huge. I have compiz, emerald.
[19:39] <elliotjhug> Hi all, anyone know of a way in evolution to prevent it downloading mail from a certain IMAP folder?
[19:39] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: look for any of the files os specific
[19:39] <kasansweat> YetiChick: Hmm, somehow that makes me wonder about Linus and his objections to gnome
[19:40] <bradv> _hopex: What is your screen resolution (under system, preferences, screen resolution)
[19:40] <dooglio> bastille on my laptop 2.1.1.-13, on the server is 2.1.1-12
[19:40] <dooglio> that's strange
[19:40] <_hopex> bradv: 1280x1024
[19:40] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: indeed... maybe a broken package somewhere
[19:40] <dooglio> yeah
[19:41] <_hopex> bradv: sorry. This laptop is 1280x 800.
[19:41] <Hex2> Hey, where can i go for advanced SSH help?, im running ubuntu 7.10
[19:41] <dooglio> i think i might have found it
[19:41] <YetiChick> kasansweat:  Heh.  Perhaps there is a link.  I don't know.  I do try to avoid the politics.  :)
[19:41] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: ?
[19:41] <dooglio> i had a source for universe as dapper, not fiesty
[19:42] <dooglio> sure enough
[19:42] <dooglio> upgrading bastille
[19:42] <dooglio> heh
[19:42] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: lol... makes sense huh?
[19:42] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: computers mistakes are always our own
[19:42] <dooglio> heh, sure does!
[19:42] <bradv> _hopex: In the Fonts dialog still there is a button marked Details. Click that and tell me what the resolution is in there (should be in dots per inch)
[19:42] <dooglio> yeah, garbage in, garbage out
[19:42] <dooglio> YAY it works
[19:42] <DrakeJustice_> lol
[19:42] <_hopex> bradv: ok. one min.
[19:43] <dooglio> DrakeJustice_: thanks for letting me tell you what is wrong with my system :-)
[19:43]  * DrakeJustice_ will be right back
[19:43] <DrakeJustice_> dooglio: lol
[19:43] <Hex2> !ssh
[19:43] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[19:43] <bazz> i use gdm/xfce.  if i want to run a command whenever X starts, where can i put it?  .xsession doesn't seem to work
[19:44] <_hopex> bradv: it says 96 points
[19:44] <TopoMorto> TopoMorto, Browse Internet...
[19:44] <kasansweat> YetiChick: Funny that it devolves into "politics" I do find it all kind of interesting. Just read "Just for fun" a few weeks ago
[19:44] <bradv> _hopex: That's what mine is at too and its fine. You can try change that to 72 and see if you like it better, but on my computer that's far too small.
[19:45] <_hopex> bradv: I'll try and see.
[19:45] <YetiChick> kasansweat:  I'm not familiar with that by title.  Nearly everything devolves into politics if it can.  And most things can.
[19:45] <kejo> hello
[19:45] <kejo> how do i list all partitions of my hard disk ?
[19:46] <brobostigon> fidk -l
[19:46] <brobostigon> fdisk -l
[19:46] <kejo> k
[19:46] <DShepherd> i have python 2.5 and python 2.4 installed. Python 2.5 is the default? how do i set python 2.4 as default?
[19:46] <_hopex> bradv: Well, it changes text size, wich is great, but the window titles are still huge. Any suggestions?
[19:46] <kejo> how do i list all my disks
[19:46] <kejo> ?
[19:47]  * TopoMorto eat a pizza
[19:47] <bradv> _hopex: No sorry. Try a different theme I guess.

[19:47] <kejo> brobostigon,  it gives no result
[19:47] <luke_> do i need to do any special settings for kde apps?
[19:47] <bradv> kapoto: They reference your partitions by ID instead of by location.
[19:47] <Zombie> YetiChick: It seems another round of OS Wars is starting up on Slashdot.

[19:49] <_hopex> bradv: changing the themes doesn't work it out, still huge window tittles. blkorpheus told me to install startupmanager, it didn't fix my problem and now I have another one. Well done blkorpheus .
[19:49] <kejo> brobostigon,  dont work
[19:49] <kejo> brobostigon,  dont work
[19:49] <kapoto> bradv Or do I just change the /dev/sdb3 to its new value?
[19:49] <kantor> HI, if I use DSA instead of RSA with a ssh connection the transmitted data are not secure ? I mean encrypted ? because DSA is only for digital signature and not for encryption  like RSA
[19:49] <_hopex> bradv: thanx for your help
[19:49] <brobostigon> have a look in dmesg
[19:49] <blkorpheus> _hopex, your problems are not my fault, guy
[19:49] <blkorpheus> just apt-get remove startupmanager
[19:49] <blkorpheus> ti did not break anything
[19:49] <_hopex> blkorpheus: I'm in a trouble, no ubuntu bar, huge window titles...
[19:50] <blkorpheus> you are too lazy to read what you are doing
[19:50] <bradv> kapoto: You cannot change them, they are defined when you format the drive. You can reference disks three ways: by location (sda1), by label (mydrive), or by UUID.
[19:50] <bradv> kapoto: You can use any one of these three in fstab. Read man fstab for more info.
[19:50] <blkorpheus> I cannot help those that do not show the will to help themselves
[19:50] <kapoto> bradv Should my fstab have both uuid and locations?
[19:50] <kejo> how do i list all partitions on every hard disk ?
[19:50] <_hopex> blkorpheus: U are too proud of your arses. And I have lots of things to read I know
[19:51] <kapoto> bradv: Oh, wait, the location is commented out
[19:51] <bradv> kapoto: No, only use one. The best is to use UUID, because if you move your drives around it won't get messed up.
[19:51] <kejo> how do i list all partitions on every hard disk ?
[19:51] <kejo> how do i list all partitions on every hard disk ?
[19:51] <brobostigon> kejo, try a prog called qparted
[19:51]  * DrakeJustice_ is back... momentarily
[19:51] <kapoto> bradv: that explains everything! thanks!
[19:51] <brobostigon> gparted
[19:51] <kejo> k
[19:51] <blkorpheus> kejo, mount
[19:52] <Pici> _hopex: I'm sorry you think that you got bad advice, but when troubleshooting some things don't turn out as planne.d
[19:52] <Pici> blkorpheus: Please dont call users lazy, if you dont want to deal with them, just don't.
[19:52] <_hopex> blkorpheus: I know it's not your fault, but once I installed the startupmanager, I missunderstood one thing (rebooting) and you just washed your hands.
[19:52] <gogzmer> How can I remove the icons for mounted drives from my desktop without un-mounting the drive?
[19:53] <YetiChick> Zombie:  Has the first round ever really ended? :)
[19:53] <bazz> so, how can i have a command run every time gdm starts up?
[19:53] <vbgunz> does this crash X or restart it for any reason (found in /var/log/messages)? Nov 20 07:37:10 box syslogd 1.4.1#21ubuntu3: restart.
[19:53] <jonah> hey guys, i'm really struggling here. i get lock ups and freezes and have been told that installing nvidia 16.04 beta driver fixes this but i can't get this driver to work. the installer runs through but x won't start. and as plan b i tried envy but couldn't get it working either, can anyone please help
[19:53] <Zombie> Oh.
[19:54] <blkorpheus> Pici, please don't stifle my right to share my view of an issue that you are ignorant of?
[19:54] <david__> Oo
[19:54] <Zombie> Well.
[19:54] <DShepherd> gogzmer, open gconf-editor and go /apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck volumes_visible
[19:54] <bradv> jonah: Read through this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[19:54] <david__> slt
[19:54] <david__> \part
[19:55] <Cr3d1ts> Can anyone help me with vsftpd? :)
[19:55] <bradv> jonah: There are three nvidia drivers - nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-legacy, and nvidia-glx-new. One of the three should work for you, depending on your specific card.
[19:55] <gogzmer> DShepherd: Thanks
[19:55] <DShepherd> gogzmer, your welcome
[19:56] <Zombie> YetiChick: I understand why it never ended.
[19:56] <Zombie> IMHO, the Mac Users have nothing to stand on.
[19:56] <Zombie> Surely. The current OS war is between Windows and Linux.
[19:56] <Kirua> : ya des français ?
[19:57] <YetiChick> Zombie:  With zealots on both sides, can any war end?
[19:57] <Zombie> Well.
[19:57] <lg188> !fr | Kirua
[19:57] <ubotu> Kirua: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[19:57] <Zombie> It could,
[19:57] <Pici> !ot | Zombie YetiChick
[19:57] <ubotu> Zombie YetiChick: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[19:57] <Kirua> thank you
[19:57] <lg188> np
[19:58] <Zombie> But I don't think it will because Linux is the only think keeping Microsoft from a total South Korean Style monopoly.
[19:58] <jamiejackson> i like pidgin, but it's not going to get LCS (Microsoft Office Communicator) support in my lifetime. is there an ubuntu-friendly (i.e. in the repos) IM client with this support?
[19:59] <DrakeJustice_> almost 1300 nicks... programmer's get programming!!! if 1300 ppl worked on something all at once we could code compiz in one day...
[20:00] <kobold> hi all
[20:00] <DM|> is there a way to check via command line how much memory a compy has
[20:00] <DrakeJustice_> if 1300 ppl don't know how to use the current system, the current system needs another rehaul
[20:00] <DM|> cat /proc?
[20:00] <DrakeJustice_> DM|: cat /proc/meminfo
[20:00] <nanonyme> DrakeJustice_, i think it's likely a lot of people here couldn't code hello world :P
[20:00] <ConstyXIV> DM| free
[20:00] <nanonyme> in any language, that is
[20:00] <DM|> thanks
[20:00] <DrakeJustice_> nanonyme: indeed, but some can, u?
[20:00] <nanonyme> including bash
[20:00] <YetiChick> DrakeJustice_:  trust me, programmers don't scale that well.
[20:00] <kobold> does anyone has experiance with multihomed connections on ubuntu?
[20:01] <DM|> thanks guys
[20:01] <NewUserr> where can i find for mldonkey?
[20:01] <spleencheesmonke> evening all. looking for some help with the dreaded ati drivers for a radeon 9800pro gfx card. running gutsy. :)
[20:01] <YetiChick> kobold: I use ubuntu multihomed on this very workstation.
[20:01] <NewUserr> where can i find servers for mldonkey?
[20:01] <DrakeJustice_> YetiChick: but differences aside, they could... that's the open source spirit, get the other junk out of the way, quick, so we can work on the applications available
[20:02] <kobold> YetiChick, I have ubuntu server 6.06 running with multihomed but after a while my connection just disappears
[20:02] <DrakeJustice_> NewUserr: google server.met
[20:02] <DrakeJustice_> googlies: awesome name...
[20:02] <YetiChick> DrakeJustice_:  I didn't really mean that.  Programmers are not a resource that scales that way.  If ten programmers can do a project in a month, it does not follow that 40 can do it in a week.  I worked for a dot com or two that didn't quite understand that.
[20:03] <googlies> why?
[20:03] <rojas> HELLO EVERYBODY
[20:03] <googlies> DrakeJustice_: why?
[20:03] <DrakeJustice_> YetiChick: indeed, but if those 40 don't squander time... they might get it done in two weeks...
[20:03] <jals> do i have to remove firefox 2 to try out 3.1 beta?
[20:03] <DrakeJustice_> googlies: i dunno... i just thought it was funny
[20:04] <YetiChick> kobold:  I only used 6.06 for a very short while.  Is the interface still visible to ifconfig?
[20:04] <googlies> DrakeJustice_: why?
[20:04] <spleencheesmonke> anyone had any experience getting an ati radeon gfx card to run compiz?
[20:04] <googlies> DrakeJustice_: does my name mean something?
[20:04] <nanonyme> DrakeJustice_, as an answer to your question: yes, i can code. i just mostly code things you don't need
[20:04] <kobold> YetiChick: I used 2 static IP addresses for the interfaces and the are both visible
[20:05] <spleencheesmonke> this channel is a lot busier than i remember it to be....
[20:05] <bradv> jals: I don't believe so. There is a package for firefox-3.0 that you should be able to install (sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0)
[20:05] <jals> will that just overwrite the current one?
[20:05] <ConstyXIV> the more of anything you pile onto something, the less of an impact each thing will have (including programmers)
[20:05] <Hex2> Hey, i got a really hard [for me] SSH tunneling problem, my friend needs me to control her comptuer, but she has a firewall, and cant access it, basicly she needs to ssh into me, open a port [via tunneling] then i log into her, on that port, and open port 5900 once logged in, we are both on ubuntu, and have tried various -R and -L commmands, all of which havent worked for us.
[20:05] <kobold> YetiChick: 1 connetions is a direct internet connection, the other is a LAN connetion for faster network activities
[20:05] <nanonyme> spleencheesmonke, odd, i remember this being so active i can't follow any of the three simultaneous conversations
[20:05] <bradv> jals: The existing package is called firefox, so no.
[20:05] <spleencheesmonke> haha
[20:05] <YetiChick> DrakeJustice_:  Or they might take ten.  It depends on the project and how it breaks into subtasks.
[20:05] <ConstyXIV> heh, we need a threaded irc :)
[20:05] <jals> ok
[20:06] <YetiChick> kobold:  Which one goes away?
[20:06] <kobold> YetiChick: the Internet one
[20:06] <spleencheesmonke> perhaps more wine will help.
[20:06] <Bollinger> as a rough guess, how much of a performance hit would encrypting my filesystems have? 1%cpu?  10%cpu?
[20:06] <bradv> jals: I haven't tried it myself, so please don't hold me responsible if I'm wrong. ;)
[20:07] <YetiChick> kobold:  I assume you mean that traffic stops traversing that interface, but not the other?  What kind of internet connection is it?
[20:07] <kobold> YetiChick: When I try to restart the network interfaces I get the following error: SIOCADDRT: File exists
[20:07] <DrakeJustice_> YetiChick: indeed... i wasn't trying to be specific, just vaguery to trick a channel's coder's to go make new apps...
[20:07] <kobold> YetiChick: you are right, traffic stops traversing, it's a ADSL2+ connection
[20:07] <nanonyme> kobold, lock file exists?
[20:07] <luke_> hi guys, i restarted my x server and now i cant seeany icons on the desktop the right click also doesnt work
[20:07] <luke_> how do i fix that
[20:08] <kobold> nanonyme: I don't know what you mean sorry...
[20:08] <YetiChick> kobold:  Is the DSL modem installed in the machine, or is it connected to another ethernet NIC?
[20:08] <PriceChild> luke_, alt+f2, then type "nautilus" and press enter
[20:08] <nanonyme> kobold, a program can create a lock file so that if a second instance of the program tries to start, it sees the lock file and shuts down
[20:08] <kobold> YetiChick: this is my setup: internet -> rj11 to modem -> rj45 to machine
[20:09] <luke_> PriceChild, nothing happened
[20:09] <jamiejackson> can anyone recommend an IM client that works with MS Live Communication Server (the protocol that MS Office Communicator uses)?
[20:09] <kobold> nanonyme: I see what you mean, I don't know, how can I check that?
[20:09] <BobSapp> hmm ive rebooted my pc last night and now x isnt working (its telling me it cant find the nvidia kernel module)
[20:09] <luke_> i tried running from gnome-terminal as well, the command didnt return back  yet
[20:09] <YetiChick> DrakeJustice_:  Ah. Well then, please continue.  :)  I can take things a bit too literally at times.
[20:09] <nanonyme> kobold, might try telling it to stop instead of restart
[20:09] <nanonyme> and then start
[20:10] <kobold> nanonyme: I already did that, I also restarted my server but nothing helps
[20:10] <bradv> luke_: It won't come back from the terminal. Press Ctrl-Z to get the prompt back and then type bg to put it in the background. Next tims use nautilus &
[20:10] <luke_> bradv, but the right click thing isnt working and i still cant see my icons.
[20:10] <lg188> bey
[20:10] <BobSapp> was this a result of the previous security
[20:10] <BobSapp> update?
[20:11] <bradv> luke_: How did you restart x? With Ctrl+Alt+Bksp?
[20:11] <luke_> bradv, yes
[20:11] <kobold> YetiChick: how did you setup your multihomed?
[20:11] <bradv> luke_: If this is the first time this has happened I suggest you reboot your computer.
[20:12] <luke_> ok shal give it a try
[20:12] <luke_> cheers guys
[20:12] <free1> yes, good question, how do you restart the x server?
[20:12] <apo`> ctl alt backspace
[20:12] <YetiChick> kobold:  'kay...  Have you verified that you can't get to outside (internet) sites by number instead of name?  You'll want to clarify that it's a netowkr issue and not DNS.
[20:13] <corrosione> would someone explain why cd would not change directories...or would somone past a link explaining how to use cd properly in ununtu gnome
[20:13] <Pici> !cli | corrosione
[20:13] <ubotu> corrosione: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[20:13] <kobold> YetiChick: it's a network issue not a DNS, if it is DNS I could ping the server form another machine and I can't
[20:13] <Nwallins> Hi, after I upgraded to gutsy, on boot I get an fsck error for /dev/sda1 (/home).  it says device busy or already mounted (it's not already mounted).  did my disk die?
[20:13] <Jarvid> my serial mouse won't work
[20:14] <Jarvid> help
[20:14] <YetiChick> kobold:  Modified the needed files directly.  I've found that the built in network tools in ...  well, no distro I've used is actually good at it...  are usually not well suited to non-typical setups.
[20:14] <bradv> Jarvid: Mice are cheap. You'll have better luck with a ps/2 or usb mouse.
[20:14] <Jarvid> ps/2
[20:14] <YetiChick> kobold:  Ping...  what server?  Is the machine we're talking about being used as a router?
[20:15] <corrosione> thx for link
[20:15] <Jarvid> thats what I mean by serial
[20:15] <kobold> YetiChick: the machine we are talking about is a webserver
[20:15] <BobSapp> Does anyone know where I can get the nvidia kernel module?
[20:15] <corrosione> i have one other question...in file browser..when i look to the location bar it is blank
[20:15] <kobold> YetiChick: which files do I need to edit?
[20:15] <corrosione> why is there no address in the location bar in file browser
[20:16] <bradv> Jarvid: Okay, well they're two different things. Mice should just work in Ubuntu. Check your xorg.conf to make sure its set up correctly.
[20:16] <chippy> hi, whats a quick way (grep?) to find out what a command was, like if I knew I did a "wget massivelycomplexurl" grep "wget" | history ?
[20:17] <YetiChick> kobold:  Okay...  To summarize:  You have a webserver directly connected to the ethernet port of a DSL modem with one NIC and directly to a switch or other LAN connection with the other NIC.  neither NIC uses DHCP?
[20:17] <bradv> chippy: Check your .bash_history file
[20:17] <juanez> chippy: 'history' in bash
[20:17] <kobold> YetiChick: Correct!
[20:17] <ericvw> Can anyone help me to VNC into Gutys?  The remote desktop solution (vino) doesn't help because I don't think it is running when I boot?
[20:17] <YetiChick> kobold: The important one is /etc/network/interfaces
[20:17] <chippy> bradv how can i use grep for that? I don't want to go through that huge file.
[20:18] <Jarvid> Section "InputDevice"
[20:18] <Jarvid> 	Identifier	"Configured Mouse"
[20:18] <Jarvid> 	Driver		"mouse"
[20:18] <Jarvid> 	Option		"CorePointer"
[20:18] <Jarvid> 	Option		"Device"	"/dev/input/mice"
[20:18] <Jarvid> 	Option		"Protocol"	"ImPS/2"
[20:18] <Jarvid> 	Option		"ZAxisMapping"	"4 5"
[20:18] <Jarvid> 	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
[20:18] <juanez> chippy: "history | grep wget"
[20:18] <Jarvid> EndSection
[20:18] <bradv> chippy: cat ~/.bash_history | grep ...
[20:18] <kobold> YetiChick: my interface file I 100% correct
[20:18] <riotkittie> chippy: cat ~/.bash_history | grep whatever
[20:18] <jorgp> nice thanks for the spam Jarvid
[20:18] <YetiChick> kobold: Do you have "Network Manager" running?  I find that if I leave it running is can interfere a bit with manual configurations.
[20:18] <chippy> thanks juanez , bradv and riotkittie :)
[20:18] <kapoto> If I have only one partition (my ubuntu one), will I need grub?
[20:18] <kobold> YetiChick: Both NIC's are set to static with the right settings
[20:18] <bradv> kapoto: yes
[20:19] <free1> yes, ctrl alt backspce restarts the x server no my local machine
[20:19] <Jarvid> I'm using an IR thingy sending signals through the ps/2 mouse
[20:19] <juanez> chippy: note that 'history' prints the contents of bash_history ... ;)
[20:19] <kapoto> bradv: genius, thanks!
[20:19] <free1> but on the server I ssh into, how would I do that- via commandline?
[20:19] <kobold> YetiChick: I also added a few IProute settings for the multihomed to work, maybe they are fault..?
[20:19] <BobSapp> join #xgl
[20:19] <free1> bobsapp- who are you suggesting this to?
[20:20] <BobSapp> free1: I was trying to get into that room :)
[20:20] <Kirua> ...
[20:20] <free1> ok
[20:20] <chippy> hmm i get " cat ~/.bash_history | grep "wget" .... Binary file (standard input) matches "
[20:21] <YetiChick> kobold: Could be...  Although usually when things work - and then stop working - it's because something changed.  I use plenty of static routes, and a bridge and tap device, as well.  But *nothing* works on this box if I let network manager run.
[20:21] <DrakeJustice_> kobold: where does your name come from? not the final fantasy creature?
[20:21] <ericvw> Can anyone help me to VNC into Gutys?  The remote desktop solution (vino) doesn't help because I don't think it is running when I boot?
[20:22] <jorgp> ericvw: make it start at boot
[20:22] <YetiChick> kobold: Or they might work for a bit and then stop.  To be fair, I am not familiar with network manager.  It just breaks things when I do them by hand, so I almost always remove it.
[20:22] <wubrgamer> hey guys, quick question, I installed wine and used it for a while, then uninstalled it, purging configuration with the "Mark for complete removal" option in synaptic...
[20:22] <wubrgamer> I now have the wine programs I used still in my application menu and "alt-f2" dialog, I want those entry's removed, how would I go about that ?
[20:22] <ericvw> jorgp: how do I do that?
[20:22] <kobold> YetiChick: how can I check if networkmanger is running?
[20:23] <bradv> ericvw: The default is for remote desktop server to start when you log in, so your assumption is likely correct. Not sure how to make it start at boot - try google for the answer.
[20:23] <trontonic> How can I stay updated with new packages that becomes available for Ubuntu? Is there an rss feed for changelogs somewhere?
[20:23] <BlkGhost> How can I pipe connection requests to a console window ?
[20:23] <ericvw> bradv: ok, i'll see what i can dig up
[20:23] <YetiChick> kobold:  I usually notice it because of the little "network connection" icon on my panel.
[20:24] <DanRaider> irc.freenode.net
[20:24] <YetiChick> kobold:  Not sure what the process is called.  You could probably recognize it in a ps, though.
[20:24] <BobSapp> Did anyone elses  xserver get broken after reboot? mine did
[20:25] <wubrgamer> anyone know wine, pm me ? this channel is waayy to crowded....
[20:25] <atriv> Hey guys, all of the sudden im in XFCE and i don't know how i got here! lol.
[20:25] <atriv> what to do? thanks!
[20:25] <kobold> YetiChick: can't find a lang manager in PS
[20:25] <trontonic> atriv: do you know if you use xdm, gdm or kdm?
[20:25] <Pres-Gas> kobold, I believe it is called nm-applet
[20:25] <BobSapp> atriv: celebrate?
[20:25] <malaeum> Hello, I just installed yesterday and I am now trying to update all of my packages. tzdata was in the list, I think, and now it appears to be improperly setup and I can't install anything, anyone know how to fix this?
[20:26] <trontonic> BobSapp: :D
[20:26] <atriv> lol @ BobSapp
[20:26] <atriv> gdm would be gnome?
[20:26] <genii> malaeum: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[20:26] <atriv> i used the default ubuntu desktop
[20:26] <malaeum> genii: I'll give that a go, thanks!
[20:28] <YetiChick> kobold:  Hmm... I don't have a ubuntu machine with network manager running so I can tell you what to look for.
[20:29] <genii> malaeum: Then afterwards: sudo dpkg --configure -a             if the apt system got odd due to broken update or so. Hopefully after this you could run the sudo apt-get update/upgrade again
[20:29] <YetiChick> kobold:  Since you've added routes, I'll assume you know how to check them to see if they've changed when the connection is down
[20:29] <YetiChick> ?
[20:29] <taggie> has anybody gotten a bluetooth a2dp stereo connection working?
[20:29] <kobold> YetiChick: now really, I used route -n to check the gateways
[20:29] <Squee> Would there be a reason why my user passowrd won't update?
[20:29] <atriv> anyone on the xfce issue?
[20:29] <atriv> i mean i can dig it...
[20:29] <Ahmuck> xfce issue?
[20:29] <BlkGhost> How can I send connection requests to a console tty window ?
[20:30] <atriv> i did an update and rebooted and now im in xfce
[20:30] <bradv> atriv: Try change your session options at the login screen to pick GDM. Easiest way to get there is to reboot.
[20:30] <YetiChick> kobold: Can you ping or tracepath the gateway's IP when it's down?
[20:30] <atriv> bradv: thanks
[20:30] <YetiChick> kobold: It comes back up on a reboot, I assume?
[20:30] <Squee> Changing passwords to users is done through System>Administration>Users and Groups, right?
[20:30] <soulfire> whenever I try to start Ubuntu with the Start/Install method (first option) it takes about 5 minutes to get to the Ubuntu desktop.. then nothing happens.  just a Cursoer with a beige background.
[20:30] <Ahmuck> Squee: it can be
[20:31] <Squee> on Feisty
[20:31] <kobold> YetiChick: no, I already rebooted 3 times now
[20:31] <malaeum> genii: well dpkg-reconfigure tzdata tells me that tzdata is broken or not fully installed, so I just tried to reinstall it but it won't let me, it complains about tzdata
[20:31] <jonah> hey guys pulling my hair out. i need to install the nvidia beta driver 169.04 but after installation it doesn't work, x won't start and it says the kernel version doesn't match the module version or something. i have to use this instead of ubuntu shipped one cos i get the lockup/freezes using geforce 7300 card and amd64 machine
[20:32] <Squee> Well, is there any reason why, when I try to change my password in feisty, it doesn't actually save it?
[20:32] <YetiChick> kobold: Oh.  But this was working?  I thought I read "it goes down from time to time" or the like.
[20:32] <trontonic> jonah: do you use the realtime kernel?
[20:32] <karnonas> make sure u check your xorg.conf
[20:32] <genii> malaeum: sudo apt-get remove --purge tzdata; sudo apt-get install tzdata
[20:32] <trontonic> Squee: do you type "passwd"?
[20:32] <malaeum> genii: thanks, I'll do that now
[20:32] <karnonas> and make sure it says nv under the video card section
[20:32] <genii> malaeum: Then the steps i outlined earlier
[20:32] <Squee> trontonic, I'm trying to do it through the gui
[20:32] <Squee> What's the terminal command for it?
[20:32] <trontonic> Squee: that's your answer, it's the gui's fault
[20:33] <kobold> YetiChick: It works for a short time, then it won't get back up
[20:33] <trontonic> Squee: I've made it work in KDE and on the commandline, though
[20:33] <jonah> trontonic, i dunno, i just have standard gutsy install. and need to install this NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.04-pkg2.run
[20:33] <Squee> trontonic, could you tell me the terminal command, then?
[20:33] <kobold> YetiChick:then I remove all routes ec. and then reconfigure and it works for a short time again
[20:33] <soulfire> which option do I select for installing Ubuntu (Safe Graphics Mode or Start/Install Ubuntu)?
[20:33] <trontonic> jonah: tried installing the nvidia-drivers non-manually, through the ubuntu-restricted-driver system?
[20:33] <subpar> quick question: is there a way to make ubuntu automatically mount internal hard drives on boot without writing a bash script... they're ntfs
[20:33] <trontonic> Squee: alt+f2, gnome-terminal, passwd
[20:33] <Squee> okay, thanks
[20:34] <genii> soulfire: Usually the start/install option
[20:34] <trontonic> Squee: np :)
[20:34] <jonah> trontonic, i can't as this driver is beta so ubuntu don't have it
[20:34] <soulfire> Thanks genii ;)
[20:34] <BobSapp> nice name lol
[20:34] <kobold> YetiChick: thank you for your help, I'll try some things here...
[20:34] <kobold> I'll let you know!
[20:34] <genii> soulfire: np
[20:34] <trontonic> jonah: I see. Do you use the gui or the commandline?
[20:34] <bradv> jonah: The GeForce 7300 is listed as being supported in the packaged drivers.
[20:34] <YetiChick> kobold: But a reboot doesn't work?  Weird.  Okay, good luck.
[20:34] <BobSapp> whats the default kernel version for feisty?
[20:34] <trontonic> jonah: bradv seemed to know what to do
[20:35] <DrakeJustice_> BobSapp: 2.6.20-15-generic
[20:35] <genii> 2.6.20-16-generic
[20:35] <rmaj> so idiots put shitty default configurations, can ubuntu smite tem and make theses configs less retarded
[20:35] <DrakeJustice_> BobSapp: after upgrades to 2.6.20-16
[20:35] <genii> Sorry, 15-generic
[20:35] <jonah> trontonic, i've tried both, installer runs through and envy works but neither actually work!
[20:35] <trontonic> rmaj: it's the job of everyone to correct them
[20:35] <BobSapp> hmm i have both -15 and -16
[20:35] <subpar> quick question: is there a way to make ubuntu automatically mount internal hard drives on boot without writing a bash script... they're ntfs

[20:36] <karnonas> have u tried ntfs-3g ?
[20:36] <trontonic> jonah: I could help you to get the installer working, but after that I just don't know. Good luck, though
[20:36] <subpar> well that comes with gutsy
[20:36] <BobSapp> -15 is not loading the nvidia kernel driver

[20:39] <SpeakerMania> DrakeJustice_, can you be more specific? Google isn't showing any promising results.
[20:39] <DrakeJustice_> brb
[20:40] <bradv> jonah: I see. And you have reason to believe that the beta driver will support 3D on that card? Because if not you are taking a real risk by installing a beta driver that's not packaged or supported by ubuntu.

[20:41] <BobSapp> if so hold alt you can drag it back
[20:41] <desertc> drulux: Is your sound working anywhere else?
[20:41] <genii> whabo: You need a transcoder to make the avi into a DVD compliant mpeg
[20:41] <DrakeJustice_> SpeakerMania: it's named Cinerella or Cinelerra or something like that... i haven't used it in a while
[20:42] <zloog> BobSapp: Nope, But utorrent is definantly running, as it's taskbar icon shows it is uploading
[20:42] <drulux> Yes desertc.
[20:42] <alber1> http://pastebin.ca/791297   this script ALWAYS displays created, even if i run it several times and the exist status for useradd is 9 (already exists)  why is this??
[20:42] <bliss_> hi
[20:42] <drulux> It also worked with the example vids I got with Ubuntu.
[20:42] <BobSapp> zloog how about rightclicking the taskbar and selecting move

[20:44] <BobSapp> zloog: if the notification area icon for utorrent is still there can u right click it and choose show?
[20:44] <mabhobs> Does ubuntu always come with gparted?
[20:45] <zloog> BobSapp: I can do that, but it doesnt actually show
[20:45] <BobSapp> if u minimise it in wine, from memory it only reappears if u tell it to show itself
[20:45] <BobSapp> ah
[20:45] <bradv> mabhobs: No it doesn't. Install it using synaptic.
[20:45] <BobSapp> zloog: kill it and restart if u really wanna see what its doing :)
[20:45] <travist120> BobSapp: Well, I can do that. But I would rather just fix the kernel, cause my ubuntu has been customized to the point where installing all of the software all over again would be difficult
[20:45] <BobSapp> ull loose ur connections though
[20:46] <BobSapp> travist120: sorry man im not familiar with ubuntu kernel recovery
[20:46] <bradv> jonah: I would try respond in that forum then. There are obviously people there who have installed the beta drivers.

I am trying to intall ubuntu 7.10 with xp already running on a system with 5 partitions. when i boot with the cd it shows my harddisk as one blnk space of 160 gb offering to create NEW partion tables. Would this Damage my data stored in the other drives if i create the partitions required for ubuntu at the end of the hd setting them as logical. later i can install the ntfs drivers. :|
[20:48] <DrakeJustice_> khoda: what is bitlbee?

[20:56] <DrakeJustice_> LoRd_VoODoOChilD: ubuntu has a manual partitioning button...
[20:57] <kbrooks> Baletian, but um let me research.
[20:57] <DrakeJustice_> sledgehammer: may be... but without the repo it cannot auto-install dependencies and fix problems and so forth

[20:58] <ubotu> desertc: 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
[20:58] <DrakeJustice_> LoRd_VoODoOChilD: dunno, try LinuxMint or something with preinstall NTFS support...
[20:58] <DrakeJustice_> i have a kidney stone soooo bad right now...
[20:58] <PriceChild> DrakeJustice_, gutsy has ntfs by default
[20:58] <desertc> Oli``: It is a physical disk  reference number
[20:58] <MilitantPotato> for samba do I need only smb-client or the package samba aswell?
[20:58] <DrakeJustice_> PriceChild: turned on by default?
[20:58] <DrakeJustice_> PriceChild: that isn't good that's patent violation...
[20:58] <LoRd_VoODoOChilD> lol .. n that the support u offer :P
[20:58] <Oli``> XLV: I'll try unmounting them and setting up the uuid. thank you (same to desertc for the info too)
[20:58] <PriceChild> DrakeJustice_, mhmm... just double click the partition from nautilus
[20:58] <PriceChild> DrakeJustice_, patent violation?!
[20:59] <DrakeJustice_> PriceChild: MS owns NTFS... Ubuntu cannot legally redistribute it...
[20:59] <PriceChild> DrakeJustice_, its offtopic for this channel... but its not a patent violation to reverse engineer the ability to modify the data...
[20:59] <desertc> PriceChild: Yes, already done those steps.  Getting "Error reading NAV packet." in xine.
[20:59] <DrakeJustice_> PriceChild: interoptability laws i know, but the last court hearing says that they cannot have it turned on by default
[20:59] <PriceChild> desertc, :/ Clean the disc etc. /
[21:00] <PriceChild> DrakeJustice_, the user must double click the drive in nautilus and enter their sudo password. Further discussion in -offtopic
[21:00] <DrakeJustice_> PriceChild: im fine thanks...
[21:00] <LoRd_VoODoOChilD> humm is there a way for unetbootin to install with a local image
[21:00] <ray__> i am having a brain fart, i cant remember the command to tell me what my kernel version it
[21:00] <PriceChild> ray__, uname -a
[21:01] <ray__> thanks
[21:01] <desertc> PriceChild: LOL!  Good call.  I removed the disk and reinserted and Ubuntu started it in gXine.  ;)
[21:02] <PriceChild> desertc, I've noticed that until a reboot (not sure which bit of the reboot is important) sometimes totem will start the dvd fine when the disc is put in... but not if you then close totem and try to start it manually
[21:02] <PriceChild> desertc, after first instillation of libdvdcss2
[21:02] <jonah> PriceChild, i didn't see you were in here, i think probably no one can help me i this room except you, i've been in here hours asking and no one seems to be able to help. but i remember that you're a legend on amd64

[21:04] <toxicfume> how do i install Firefox 3.0 beta that was released today in ubuntu 7.10? It only comes as a tar.bz2 and not in a package install. Can someone please help me install this?
[21:05] <kofano> ragazzi aiuto come installo awn su gutsy ? i repository soliti nn vanno...aiutooo
[21:05] <robobob> hey guys im having trouble extracting from a rar archive any helpers???
[21:05] <jonah> PriceChild, well i need to install beta nvidia driver 169.04 and i installed it but didn't work right and x won't start unless i use nv in xorg.conf. well i need 3d, so nv no good. and shipped gutsy amd64 nvidia driver no good, i get system freezes and lockups all time. but this beta fixes it i'm told here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587905&page=7
[21:05] <PriceChild> robobob, sudo apt-get install unrar
[21:05] <robobob> done that
[21:05] <Oli``> toxicfume: download & run, isn't it?
[21:05] <PriceChild> robobob, the archive manager will then be able to use it
[21:05] <robobob> tty
[21:05] <toxicfume> Oli``: no, it is not like that
[21:05] <jonah> PriceChild, and i tried envy as plan be but that doesn't install it right either, even though it runs through etc x still won't start on reboot
[21:05] <PriceChild> toxicfume, sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0
[21:06] <PriceChild> !envy | jonah
[21:06] <ubotu> jonah: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[21:06] <toxicfume> PriceChild: but that one is alpha, not the beta released today
[21:06] <DrakeJustice_> gran paradiso ^^ woot
[21:06] <jonah> PriceChild, something about module not matching kernel or something. and i tried removing all nvidia stuff first but no good either
[21:06] <PriceChild> toxicfume, then read the README file inside the archive
[21:06] <jonah> PriceChild, i know i shouldn't use envy, but was desperate as normal way didn't work - but turns out envy no good either
[21:06] <PriceChild> jonah, modprobe -r nvidia, then try again
[21:06] <toxicfume> PriceChild: there isn't any
[21:07] <PriceChild> toxicfume, there must be something, or isntructions from where you got it
[21:07] <toxicfume> PriceChild: ther are no instructions in the archive, nor are there on mozilla's download site
[21:07] <toxicfume> this is a Beta release, thats why i guess
[21:07] <PriceChild> toxicfume, I don't believe you.
[21:07] <whabo> Is it possible that my brand new HP laptop is blocking the live CD to run??? coz it gives me an ERROR .. even tho it ran on my OLD compaq laptop .. thank you

[21:08] <jonah> PriceChild, what does that do?

[21:08] <chris____> i try to install ubuntu desktop, but when i reach 90% of installation at the "checking for packages to remove" stage, cdrom and hard disk don't do anything for a long time and the installation doesnt go any further. the strange is that the pc doesn't freeze, it just stays there doing nothing... can anyone help?
[21:08] <DrakeJustice_> whabo: keep trying, maybe an inconsistency, maybe a BIOS issue... who knows...
[21:08] <toxicfume> thanks, this is why I prefer Windows. :)
[21:08] <DrakeJustice_> gilby80: switched?
[21:08] <whiteygford> fuck windows
[21:08] <PriceChild> jonah, hehe you sound like you know what you're doing :) Basically it removes the "nvidia" module.... ensuring the old one still isn't there.

[21:26] <PriceChild> jonah, I'm sorry but I haven't a clue... I don't know why the nvidia module is loading but not the glx... I suggest you google a little for lines 230-232 and see what reasons they suggest for that solution
[21:26] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: i have it now
[21:26] <kazol3> Is anyone here familiar with installing drivers for Broadcom wifi NICs?
[21:26] <javaJake> loguser1, Wireshark is the new app, that took over from Ethereal
[21:26] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: you need winetricks
[21:26] <javaJake> !ndiswrapper | kazol3
[21:26] <ubotu> kazol3: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[21:26] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: download wintricks and install gecko with it... then Steam installs without an issue... except the windowsness
[21:26] <whabo> SO i guess there is no way to run ubuntu on a NEW laptop? coz its getting blocked???
[21:26] <javaJake> kazol3, unless you need to be doing network monitor, ndiswrapper is really nice
[21:26] <jonah> PriceChild, thanks man, if you don't know no one ever will, you're a legend with ubuntu. oh well i'll hang in and keep trying to find the answer
[21:26] <ikonia> whabo: of couse there is
[21:27] <ikonia> whabo: I'm on a new laptop
[21:27] <javaJake> kazol3, and usually if ndiswrapper can't do it, no one can
[21:27] <toxicfume> bradv: firefox doesn't startup
[21:27] <XLV> loguser1, you can use traffic shaping to limit all speed to some value, and prioritize some over other, also theres a program called trickle that can restrict specific networking app
[21:27] <PriceChild> jonah, pfft I don't own a 64bit machine... really... go google for that error
[21:27] <sparky_here> any reason why shutdown option would dissapear??
[21:27] <kazol3> javaJake: I'm having problems with bcm43xx fwcutter-I have a very low signal.
[21:27] <erUSUL> !info trickle
[21:27] <zloog> Is there a way to dock arbitrary windows?
[21:27] <ubotu> trickle: user-space bandwidth shaper. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.07-4 (gutsy), package size 34 kB, installed size 164 kB
[21:27] <DrakeJustice_> jonah: what was your issue?
[21:27] <ikonia> sparky_here: yes, a theme
[21:28] <Rev> winetricks?
[21:28] <Rev> DrakeJustice_,  steam installs fine for me
[21:28] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: yeah google it... it's just a script
[21:28] <Rev> but the games video stutter
[21:28] <bradv> toxicfume: Did it set up your permissions properly? Try navigate to /usr/lib/firefox in the terminal and start run-mozilla.sh
[21:28] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: oh?
[21:28] <javaJake> kazol3, yea, the bcm43xx is of poor quality right now. You can only get 11 MB out of the usual 54 MB from that driver.
[21:28] <Rev> yeah, like every few seconds the fps drops to 0
[21:28] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: graphics card and ram...
[21:28] <Jamiesss> anyone use partimage ?
[21:28] <Rev> and then half a second later it kicks back up
[21:28] <sparky_here> what theme would control the logoff screen??
[21:28] <javaJake> kazol3, I highly recommend FIRST uninstalling your drivers, THEN installing ndiswrapper
[21:28] <Rev> geforce 7900, 1.5 g ram
[21:28] <jonah> PriceChild, well i think you're cool anyway, thanks for trying
[21:29] <Rev> it runs fine on windows
[21:29] <ikonia> sparky_here: have you applied a new theme ?
[21:29] <jonah> PriceChild, amd64 or not! haha
[21:29] <Rev> and it's just cs and hl1
[21:29] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: yeah, gfx card issues...
[21:29] <sparky_here> yea the login screen
[21:29] <ikonia> sparky_here: you've just changed your login theme ?
[21:29] <Rev> DrakeJustice_, , what do you mean, the graphics card is definitely good enough
[21:29] <sparky_here> i put it back and it did not come back
[21:29] <Rev> and i installed the driver
[21:29] <Skyrail_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 <- I've followed up to the end of two and now it's messed up my linux connection and It's being a pain loading pages on my windows machine as if one of the commands has messed with a router setting, can anyone help me reset what I've changed back to what they were before running those commands?
[21:29] <sparky_here> yes
[21:29] <Rev> from the restricted drivers menu
[21:29] <ikonia> sparky_here: ok one moment and I'll explain how to fix it
[21:29] <sparky_here> thanks
[21:30] <whabo> lol i gave up i guess ill stick with vista.... none of teh liveCD work they are all being blocked.... this was my 10th attempt
[21:30] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: im saying the linux drivers for it might not be good enough, or too much ram might be being used... things like compiz fusion slow CS down hard...
[21:30] <el_altillo> holas alguien habla español?
[21:30] <kazol3> javaJake: Ok, I'll try. 11 vs 54 Mb is no problem to me, I just need good reception-my speed right now is 50kB.
[21:30] <Rev> compiz fusion?
[21:30] <erUSUL> !es | el_altillo

[21:30] <NewUserr> eh guys i am using MlDonkey but i always get a low Id i opened the port 4662 in my firewall and i did a portforwarding on my router from the range 4662 to 4665 why do i still get a low id can anybody help me thanks
[21:31] <ikonia> whabo: what is the problem
[21:31] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: try seamlessrdp or crossover then... i dunno
[21:31] <musikgoat> anyone know how to get nntp uri to open in evolution?
[21:31] <toxicfume> bradv: very weird: I entered run-mozilla.sh in the terminal in in firefox folder but it sways command not found :S
[21:31] <Rev> DrakeJustice_, are they free?
[21:31] <src> Skyrail_, the how-to you are refering to has nothing to do with your router
[21:31] <bradv> toxicfume: Type ./run-mozilla.sh
[21:31] <Skyrail_> mhmm
[21:31] <DrakeJustice_> ikonia: he is having livecd booting issues...
[21:31] <erUSUL> NewUserr: mlnet does not use the usual port by default
[21:31] <ikonia> DrakeJustice_ I need more detail
[21:31] <DrakeJustice_> Rev: seamlessrdp and virtualbox are... crossover isn't
[21:31] <Rev> ah.
[21:31] <DrakeJustice_> ikonia: livecd inconsistency, i dunno, doesn't make sense...
[21:32] <Skyrail_> src: I know but how come it's seemed to mess up the internet on my windows PC as well, it seems somewhat coincidental that my router pages aren't loading
[21:32] <TechnoViking> is it possible to change your password on a encrypted file system
[21:32] <src> Skyrail_, this being said,i'm sure your router has a "reset to default" button in order to start from scratch
[21:32] <javaJake> kazol3, the speed and distance both increase or decrease proportionally, btw. :)
[21:32] <NewUserr> erUSUL whichj port must i open then?
[21:32] <Rev> what is rdesktop
[21:32] <toxicfume> bradv: did that and it says: run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute .
[21:32] <javaJake> kazol3, if you are far, you get low speeds.
[21:32] <javaJake> kazol3, if you have low speeds, it'll act as if you were farther
[21:32] <src> Skyrail_, your router pages from within windows?
[21:32] <bradv> toxicfume: I think the reason you couldn't find installation instructions is because the beta is for developers. You may be out of your league here, and are better off sticking with the current version.
[21:32] <zach_> could someone link me to a fix for the whole laptop-mode hdparm problem?
[21:32] <zach_> google's not workin for me
[21:32] <zach_> i can't come up with anything
[21:32] <erUSUL> NewUserr: mldonkey.sourceforge.net/WhatFirewallPortsToOpen
[21:33] <DrakeJustice_> zach_: what problem?
[21:33] <NewUserr> erUSUL thnx
[21:33] <DrakeJustice_> zach_: dma issues?
[21:33] <toxicfume> bradv: I just want to get it to run, thats all, i'll be able to use it after that. It's just the installation that;s not in my league i guess..it would have been on windows
[21:33] <zach_> laptop-mode uses the bios default for spindown times
[21:33] <zach_> or something to that effect
[21:33] <kazol3> javaJake: inverse-square law?
[21:33] <zach_> and I'd prefer to use 254 or something like that
[21:33] <DrakeJustice_> zach_: right over my head man... sry...
[21:33] <javaJake> kazol3, something like that. ;)
[21:33] <zach_> hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
[21:34] <ikonia> sparky_here: ok you there
[21:34] <kazol3> javaJake: The WAP is directly above the office.
[21:34] <sparky_here> yes
[21:34] <bradv> toxicfume: Are the permissions right on the files? You need execute permissions on firefox, firefox-bin, and run-mozilla.sh
[21:34] <zach_> DrakeJustice_, 'it's all good
[21:34] <pfwdtech> who *e*
[21:34] <erUSUL> NewUserr: no problem (i can not tell you which becouse every client uses a random one so mine will be different than yours)
[21:34] <DrakeJustice_> zach_: are you running that with sda mounted or unmounted? try a livecd
[21:34] <kazol3> javaJake: I should be getting >40Mb.
[21:34] <toxicfume> bradv: how do i execute permissions?
[21:34] <ikonia> sparky_here: ok - read, go to, System -> Administration -> Login Window menu
[21:34] <rainrunner87> Does anyone have any experience setting up an external bluetooth adapter?
[21:34] <Skyrail> src: did you get my last message, the irc disconnected :(
[21:34] <javaJake> kazol3, :P
[21:34] <bradv> toxicfume: sudo chmod +x filename
[21:34] <kazol3> javaJake: But my speed is slower than dial-up.
[21:34] <BassKozz> Anyone wanna help a newb setup VNC in Xubuntu?  I've posted a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3806149 , but haven't gotten much help :(
[21:35] <toxicfume> bradv: okay
[21:35] <sparky_here> ok
[21:35] <NewUserr> erUSUL i will try to find it out then
[21:35] <zach_> DrakeJustice_, unrelated...   I'll just keep googling
[21:35] <DrakeJustice_> k
[21:35] <ikonia> sparky_here: under the tab "menu bar" the option "show actions menu" must be enabled
[21:35] <src> Skyrail, dunno, but if your pages are loading slowly from windows, it's a router issue
[21:35] <Crozar> does office2007 work with winE?
[21:35] <javaJake> kazol3, yea, it's probably the drivers, and if not, it's the device (if you haven't tested it elsewhere)
[21:35] <musikgoat> how to get nntp uri to work in evolution, it supports nntp as of 2.0
[21:35] <ikonia> Crozar: join #wine
[21:35] <ikonia> Crozar: or #winehq
[21:36] <sparky_here> cool thanks man
[21:36] <kazol3> javaJake: It worked fine with the WAP being much farther away.
[21:36] <ikonia> sparky_here: no problem
[21:36] <bradv> toxicfume: I suggest if you are interested in tinkering with things (you obviously are daring enough), do some research into file systems permissions (chown, chgrp, chmod). Essential stuff to avoid real problems when you're working directly with the file system.
[21:36] <toxicfume> bradv: okay i did that for the 3 files you mentioned, i still get the same problem
[21:36] <DrakeJustice_> Crozar: seamlessrdp is your only chance of running it in tux...
[21:36] <BassKozz> When I try and connect to my Xubuntu Box remotely using TightVNC I get "ReadExactL Socket error while reading.", any ideas?

[21:38] <DrakeJustice_> lol
[21:38] <bradv> toxicfume: You are missing some libraries then. I cannot help you further, because I am not willing to install beta software on my computer. See if there is a firefox developers group you can ask at.
[21:38] <hellsdark> any rtorrent user ?
[21:38] <toxicfume> bradv: okay no problems, thanks a lot for the help so far
[21:38] <bradv> toxicfume: Good luck.

[21:46] <Bruno_> whats the highest safest write speed for a dvd?
[21:46] <ikonia> pfwdtech: of you go then
[21:46] <DrakeJustice_> Crozar: SeamlessRDP is a windows pro thing... it can run the windows programs from VirtualBox as separate windows, not all stuck inside the windows window...
[21:46] <ikonia> Bruno_: depends on your hardware and data o nthe dvd
[21:47] <pfwdtech> nice
[21:47] <PriceChild> macd, the factoid is "best", not "whatisbest"
[21:47] <macd> PriceChild, yeah I investigated in priv and found the right one
[21:47] <Crozar> btw DrakeJustice_ is slackware faster then linux?
[21:47] <zren> i just installed mythbuntu and I can't get it to boot, it says Loading, please wait... and thats it, the recovery mode works fine
[21:47] <ikonia> Crozar: slackware is linux
[21:47] <PriceChild> Crozar, slackware is a linux distributino
[21:47] <Crozar> freeBSD aswell?
[21:47] <Bruno_> ikonia: its a blcnk dvd and im going to write the fedora 8 .iso
[21:47] <macd> Crozar, no, freebsd is bsd
[21:47] <DaBonBon> Crozar: no
[21:47] <dan> no freebsd is a bsd
[21:47] <dan> lol
[21:48] <Crozar> is bsd better then linux?
[21:48] <ikonia> Bruno_: your call
[21:48] <dan> no
[21:48] <PriceChild> !best | Crozar
[21:48] <ubotu> Crozar: 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.
[21:48] <ikonia> Crozar: this is ubuntu support
[21:48] <macd> Crozar, this might not be the best place to ask that

[21:48] <wefsw> t doing this !?
[21:48] <DaBonBon> Crozar: depends on your definition of better ;) but usually for desktops linux is best after windows
[21:48] <Bruno_> ikonia: ok
[21:48] <Crozar> i mean Powerfull
[21:48] <PriceChild> wefsw, how did you add a new user account/
[21:48] <DaBonBon> Crozar: again, what is "powerful" ?
[21:48] <Crozar> something who has Hiroshima
[21:48] <wefsw> PriceChild,  tried it both ways, with useradd and from the GUI

[21:49] <obsethryl> hi ikonia, long time
[21:49] <Crozar> ikonia, have you got anyidea's with touch screen :p
[21:49] <ikonia> obsethryl: hey hey
[21:49] <gnomefreak> Crozar: please join #ubuntu-offtopic for non support chat
[21:49] <PriceChild> wefsw, wefsw if you use it from the gui with a fresh username... first... then it should work fine

[21:49] <donkeyofdarkness> ftw
[21:49] <mxrider> i have a printer on my windows xp machine and would like to print from the ubuntu box, but just cant get it, any help?
[21:49] <ikonia> Crozar: as I told you yesterday - I've no idea what your asking about touch screens, your question made no sense
[21:49] <Crozar> gnomefreak, touchscreen tablet doesnt work with ubuntu any idea's? i download evtouch and wacom-tools and still doesnt work
[21:50] <brandon_> hey guys
[21:50] <erUSUL> wefsw: maybe you need to add the other users to the audio group or something
[21:50] <RichW> Can anyone provide confirmation that postfix on ubuntu comes with TLS support?
[21:50] <wefsw> remove the user, whack the home dir, remove the line from /etc/passwd, and try it?
[21:50] <Crozar> my question ikonia gnomefreak  is i cant use touch screen instead of mouse
[21:50] <macd> wefsw, chances are she didnt get added to the proper groups, she should be in adm, dialout, cdrom, floppy, audio, dip, video, plugdev, scanner, lpadmin, admin, netdev, powerdev
[21:50] <RichW> Perhaps someone admins a ubuntu server and can confirm this?
[21:50] <wefsw> my account was created with installation,
[21:50] <ikonia> RichW: tls is possibe, is not enabled, you have to configue it
[21:50] <RichW> ikonia: So its a recompile?
[21:51] <ikonia> RichW: no - tls comes linked, but not enabled
[21:51] <dan> apt-get install pi ? what is pi?
[21:51] <wefsw> haha, thanks, not added to any
[21:51] <gnomefreak> Crozar: thats fine than stick with that but your comments about scarface and others should not be in this channel
[21:51] <donkeyofdarkness> pi is pi
[21:51]  * wefsw punches himself
[21:51] <Reng>  anyone know how to get "FreeSpeak" to work? i have installed the program and it does not start.
[21:51] <firebird619> Could someone help me? When I try to open anything under System ==> Administration, I get this message "Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root. Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file." What can I did to fix this?
[21:51] <ikonia> firebird619: are you runnning the Xserver ?
[21:51] <Crozar> is this a ubuntu fundamental channel?
[21:51] <donkeyofdarkness>        pi - compute decimal Archimedes’ constant Pi to arbitrary accuracy.
[21:51] <ikonia> firebird619: are you using sudo or running as root
[21:51] <PriceChild> firebird619, how much free space do you have on your home partition?
[21:51] <ikonia> Crozar: you KNOW its not, you've been here long enough
[21:51] <RichW> ikonia: What package do I have to install to make it work? Openssl?

[21:57] <ikonia> firebird619: as in restart X - logout and back in , don't reboot
[21:57] <jewboy> i ran azureus in bash and it gave me this output
[21:57] <boo> no, thats not spider solitaire
[21:57] <dan> jewboy: same problem. use ktorrent or utorrent with wine
[21:58] <Maenad> im having trouble enabling Desktop Effects (compiz) in Ubuntu 7.10.. the proprietary drivers that are loaded when i installed ubuntu are even worse (lower res. etc) so i switched back to disabling them... does anyone know where i can find a guide to get compiz working (Desktop Effects) in Ubuntu 7.10? im using Radeon x600 PCI-E card...
[21:58] <boo> oh ok
[21:58] <JoeThomas> Where should I store tar balls? /usr/src/ or /usr/local/src?
[21:58] <Crozar> i cant use touch screen on the tablet its not working , and in the xorg.conf file it isnt configured , should it be done manually or is theyr a simlpe automatic way PriceChild Hex2
[21:58] <jewboy> thats lame whys it doin that?
[21:58] <Cooner750> hello
[21:58] <dan> idk.
[21:58] <dan> but ktorrent works
[21:58] <firebird619> ikonia: Ok, I will try to restart X and see what happens. Thanks for the help. I may be back if I am still having problems.
[21:58] <brandon_> bradv: I try to get into steam and it says I need to install gecko so I do then an error comes up I press ok and on the steam homepage I see that that HTML rendering needs to be enabled
[21:58] <jewboy> ok thanks anyway
[21:58] <src> JoeThomas, how about your home directory
[21:58] <Cooner750> Trying to upgrade to 7.10 and it's stuck at 35 of 40 packages and will not move
[21:58] <magnetron> joe under local
[21:58] <dan> but it doesnt work for some torrents. so i suggest utorrent with wine.
[21:58] <PriceChild> Crozar, I've never used a tablet, but if you do the 3 things i said earlier (you've achieved 1) someone might be able to help
[21:58] <DrakeJustice_> JoeThomas: /usr/local/src
[21:58] <JoeThomas> src: because im going to compile.
[21:58] <ikonia> Crozar: you'll have to set it up manually, as detection of touch screens will not work - 9 times out of 19 at least
[21:58] <jussi01> mxrider: try setting the printer up throught cups browser interface, instead of the normal printer window ( localhost:631 )
[21:58] <PriceChild> Cooner750, be patient
[21:58] <JoeThomas> DrakeJustice_: Thanks
[21:58] <donkeyofdarkness> Maenad, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg fixes many problems
[21:58] <brandon_> bradv: then steam shuts down
[21:59] <Cooner750> PriceChild: Is waiting 15 minutes patient enough? o-O
[21:59] <donkeyofdarkness> :p
[21:59] <Maenad> ill try, thanks donkeyofdarkness
[21:59] <ikonia> Crozar: I have a tablet PC running with a working touch screen, but you have to define the screen very well
[21:59] <src> JoeThomas, it's going to compile wherever you put them
[21:59] <Crozar> its wacom!!! and ubuntu has full support i hear
[21:59] <pfwdtech> jewboy, i recommend using rtorrent
[21:59] <bradv> brandon_: Are you using wine?
[21:59] <boo> haha spider looks like a windows 3.1 program
[21:59] <ikonia> Crozar: for the device yes
[21:59] <neverblue> Cooner750, yeah, give it more tme
[21:59] <Cooner750> o-o
[21:59] <JoeThomas> src: I just wanted to know where the recommended place they should go
[21:59] <Crozar> ikonia, pc touch screen is another question , laptop tablet touchscreen is another nother meaning
[21:59] <neverblue> Cooner750, did you backup your data before you did the upgrade ?
[21:59] <ikonia> JoeThomas: google fhs
[21:59] <gnomefreak> Cooner750: using update-manager or dist-upgrade in terminal
[22:00] <ikonia> Crozar: no - they are the same thing
[22:00] <brandon_> yes
[22:00] <brandon_> bradv: yes
[22:00] <JoeThomas> ikonia: Thanks :)
[22:00] <Crozar> can u paste  the xorg file please ikonia
[22:00] <ikonia> Crozar: I am using a tablet PC (not at this second)
[22:00] <Cooner750> gnomefreak: the graphical update manager. dist-upgrade would probably be better, would it not?
[22:00] <gnomefreak> Cooner750: what command did you run
[22:00] <ikonia> Crozar: no - I'm  not on the tablet, and my config file will be very different to yours
[22:00] <Jakobsen> Should I use totem or mplayer as video player for firefox
[22:00] <src> JoeThomas, there's no recommended, just keep it consistent, so you wont forget
[22:00] <Cooner750> gnomefreak: Er.. I'm using the GUI
[22:00] <Cooner750> And I'm plenty familiar with the Linux console, I run two servers
[22:00] <bradv> brandon_: Perhaps someone else can help you. I've never used it. However, earlier on here there was someone asking about steam, and it was recommended to use CrossOver.
[22:00] <donkeyofdarkness> I personally like the mplayer plugin for firefox
[22:01] <gnomefreak> Cooner750: ok good you didnt open it with command?
[22:01] <Jakobsen> donkeyofdarkness: I just can't get it to work
[22:01] <Crozar> ok later ikonia you can send it to me i might go soon but il be back within 4 hours or so
[22:01] <brandon_> bradv: how much does that cost?
[22:01] <Cooner750> gnomefreak: No, I just clicked upgrade when I saw 7.10 was available
[22:01] <theunixgeek> How do I upgrade to GNOME 2.20?
[22:01] <ikonia> Crozar: no, as it will be very different than your
[22:01] <donkeyofdarkness> I think I installed mine with automatix
[22:01] <gnomefreak> Cooner750: you must not have read upgrade docs. ok heres what you do close update-manager restart and run it again
[22:01] <ikonia> Crozar: you have to define the screen in good detail
[22:01] <Jakobsen> donkeyofdarkness: I am NOT going to use automatix..
[22:01] <bradv> brandon_: Don't know. Google's your friend.
[22:01] <Crozar> ill just add the secret section , did you download anydriver? like evtouch/
[22:01] <gnomefreak> Cooner750: as long as its still downloading
[22:01] <Cooner750> gnomefreak: Just did that and it appears to be working
[22:01] <Crozar> how can i know ? its an hp laptop
[22:01] <ikonia> Crozar: no, I used xorg's default
[22:02] <gnomefreak> Cooner750: its known to choke at times
[22:02] <Cooner750> It's showing the "Support for these programs no longer exists " blah blah blah
[22:02] <brandon_> bradv: ya alright just thought Id ask first thanks anyway
[22:02] <Maenad> donkeyofdarkness: it just made it worse. any more ideas? ive been trying to figure this out for several days using google and coming in here
[22:02] <ikonia> Crozar: mine is not a hp laptop, its a tablet PC
[22:02] <gnomefreak> Cooner750: but dont do it ever ifs it configuring the packages
[22:02] <donkeyofdarkness> hmm
[22:02] <Cooner750> Starting upgrade...
[22:02] <Cooner750> I'm not concerned about data loss, there's nothing on this installation
[22:02] <gnomefreak> Cooner750: you would need to fix it at that pint or you will look for issues
[22:02] <Crozar> it has finger print detection and can i ask if linux offers a finger print detection program that imlpements for password processing? like in win vista
[22:02] <donkeyofdarkness> Did you pick the fglrx driver?
[22:02] <Cooner750> 711MB, I'm glad I have I nice fast connection, let's just hope the server is having a good day
[22:03] <ikonia> Crozar: yes I'm using it, but it required a lot of package rebuilds to link against certain auth libs
[22:03] <Cooner750> Heh\
[22:03] <Cooner750> 1300Kb/s
[22:03] <Cooner750> 15 min
[22:03] <Crozar> :S
[22:03] <ikonia> Crozar: there may be a way to do it against pam, but I doubt it currently
[22:03] <flakrat> is there a command in Ubuntu like /sbin/service in RHEL?
[22:03] <Crozar> let me stick with numeric passwords lol
[22:03] <firebird619> ikonia: I am still having the same problem. I am under Failsafe GNOME now. When I tried to logon now normally, it said "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace.
[22:04] <ikonia> firebird619: the most common problems for that is 1.) you don't have permissions to write to your home directory 2.) your out of disk space
[22:04] <jimmygoon> What is the easiest/fastest way to get firefox 3.0b1 running
[22:04] <bardyr> flakrat, install sysvconfig and you get "service"
[22:04] <Cpudan80> firebird619: Are you out of diskspace?
[22:04] <Crozar> its been tireing for me to such work for a system to be great , atleast i have the importance running , but now my ego calls for the small bits :p
[22:04] <flakrat> bardyr, cool thanks
[22:04] <Cooner750> So what all has changed in 7.10? Anything that significant?
[22:04] <Cpudan80> If you changed your perms on your home dir then well...
[22:04] <Cpudan80> I would change em back
[22:04] <bardyr> flakrat, but /sbin/service equals /etc/init.d/program start/stop/restart/etc
[22:05] <the_brain> Gute Nacht all
[22:05] <Crozar> in life theyr is no easy jimmygoon , easy needs cash but doesnt come free
[22:05] <firebird619> ikonia: Wow, I have basically nothing installed but a few programs and / is 100 full. I guess thats the problem.
[22:05] <ikonia> !offtopic >crozar
[22:05] <jared__> I have an Acer Aspire 3050 and I got the audio working, but it has an odd crackling sound. Does anyone have any idea what the crackling sound is? It only crackles when sound is actually coming out. Any ideas?
[22:05] <donkeyofdarkness> :o

[22:05] <theunixgeek> How do I change the Ubuntu logo to the GNOME foot in the Applications menu?
[22:06] <flakrat> bardyr, yup, about the same amount of typing since /sbin isn't in normal users path
[22:06] <firebird619> ikonia: I will have to investigate now what the world is taking up all of that space.
[22:06] <ikonia> firebird619: enjoy
[22:06] <bardyr> flakrat, yes it is?
[22:06] <donkeyofdarkness> theunixgeek, there's an option in gconf
[22:06] <Nirevus> Does anyone know if firefox 3.0b1 is on any of the repos yet?
[22:06] <donkeyofdarkness> I forget which one
[22:06] <Gothfunc> hi.  is there anything around that will save an image of the current partition to a file with the click of a button, and also restore partitions perhaps just as easily, just as you would use snapshots in vmware?  i'd like to get as close to this functionality as possible

[22:11] <javaJake> I know /etc/initramfs/modules should be edited - I've done that
[22:12] <Zamarronstein> my question is about laptop hp... the microphone does not work...
[22:12] <Zamarronstein> my question is about laptop hp... the microphone does not work, in ubuntu 7.10
[22:12] <donkeyofdarkness> pfwdtech, after that do "sudo asoundconf set-default-card nameofsoundcard"
[22:13] <mxrider> i have a printer on my windows xp machine and would like to print from the ubuntu box, but ubuntu doesn't see the printer, even though its set to share, any help?
[22:13] <donkeyofdarkness> then reboot
[22:13] <pfwdtech> ive got an Intel - Which is the mobo and a Audigy wich is the one i want
[22:13] <pfwdtech> *which
[22:13] <JoeThomas> What really happens when I run make?
[22:13] <pfwdtech> thanks
[22:13] <NemesisD> hi all, my ubuntu partition just out of the blue started hanging at boot. I couldn't see what was causing it so I ran in recovery mode and it seems to stop at skge eth0: enabling interface
[22:13] <JoeThomas> just compilation?
[22:14] <Oli``> mxrider: if you've got the option to do it the other way around (plug the printer into ubuntu and share), I'd do that
[22:14] <donkeyofdarkness> pfwdtech, which audigy?
[22:14] <DrakeJustice_> JoeThomas: i big list of commands one after the other... somewhere in there the C compiler is called gcc or java or whatever language
[22:14] <donkeyofdarkness> sudo asoundconf set-default-card Audigy2
[22:14] <JoeThomas> DrakeJustice_: Thought so.
[22:14] <georgy_28> mxrider, : you have to install it
[22:14] <donkeyofdarkness> that should do the trick
[22:15] <donkeyofdarkness> I have an audigy 4 but it still shows audigy 2
[22:15] <mxrider> georgy_28: how do install a printer
[22:15] <donkeyofdarkness> plug it in
[22:15] <ArthurArchnix> NemesisD: You can switch to a terminal and see some output by pressing Alt+F1. If you can get to a terminal try posting the output of dmesg | tail
[22:16] <NemesisD> ArthurArchnix, ok but I think that was dmesg, or at least it looked like it
[22:16] <NemesisD> ArthurArchnix, this is my only computer for right now so I'll need to reboot, brb
[22:16] <georgy_28> mxrider, : system --> administration --> install printer
[22:16] <pfwdtech> hold on will check
[22:17] <pfwdtech> it just say Audigy
[22:17] <Gothfunc> src: were you referring to symantec veritas data center software?
[22:17] <donkeyofdarkness> oh
[22:17] <donkeyofdarkness> then just do...
[22:17] <donkeyofdarkness> sudo asoundconf set-default-card Audigy
[22:17] <src> Gothfunc, exactly or lvm
[22:17] <donkeyofdarkness> and reboot
[22:17] <mxrider> georgy_28: yeah i've tried that but ubuntu doesn't see the printer on the windows machine at all to set it up
[22:18] <Gothfunc> src: well i shudder at the thought of using a symantec product, so i'll take a closer look at lvm :)
[22:18] <donkeyofdarkness> windows got a firewall?
[22:18] <Zamarronstein> my question is about laptop hp... the microphone does not work, in ubuntu 7.10
[22:18] <georgy_28> mxrider, : are you feisty ?
[22:18] <src> Gothfunc, lvm is your option. veritas costs a lot of money
[22:19] <mxrider> georgy_28 no gutsy
[22:19] <pfwdtech> its a Audigy 2 ZS 7.1
[22:19] <nicolah> thanks erUSUL, it was a problem relating the line "virtual" in my xorg.conf
[22:20] <donkeyofdarkness> Whatever sudo asoundconf list gives you is what you use for the name
[22:20] <Gothfunc> src: wow, i'm surprised lvm passed me by, this looks great
[22:20] <Gothfunc> src: thanks
[22:20] <theunixgeek> How do I change the little Ubuntu logo in the upper left to the GNOME foot?
[22:20] <georgy_28> mxrider : normaly when you ask to browse shared printers, and then install new printer and then choise network printer over samba.I don't have gutsy, so it is only a hint
[22:21] <donkeyofdarkness> theunixgeek, gconf
[22:21] <Nirevus> Does anyone have any install instructions for Firefox 3.0b1?
[22:21] <Nirevus> Can't find any in the tar.
[22:21] <Zamarronstein> i have a hp dv1000 and the sound works, but the microphone don't work... what can i do?
[22:21] <rockets> Is there a way to make Ubuntu automatically import to F-Spot when I plug in a camera, rather then importing via EoG
[22:21] <theunixgeek> donkeyofdarkness: what entry in it?
[22:21] <pfwdtech> donkeyofdarkness,  Should i worried about this message: sudo asoundconf set-default-car Audigy
[22:21] <pfwdtech> Please note that you are attempting to run asoundconf as a privileged superuser, which may have unintended consequences.
[22:21] <stratos> hello
[22:21] <Maenad> hi
[22:21] <desertc> Zamarronstein: Is the mic muted?
[22:21] <desertc> !hi
[22:21] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[22:21] <Gothfunc> src: one other thing.  does lvm have a gui?
[22:22] <Zamarronstein> yeah
[22:22] <xivanari> hello i am having problems with my intel integrated graphics card (supposed to be using i810 driver) and it keeps reverting to using the vesa driver.  My xorg.conf file settings continue reverting to failsafe settings and the vesa drivers even if i input the proper settings manually.
[22:22] <Zamarronstein> desertc yeah
[22:22] <mxrider> georgy_28: yes thats exactly what i do, from there i click browse and click on my workgroup name, but it only sees my computer in the workgroup no windows, but i can browse the windows box files
[22:22] <donkeyofdarkness> theunixgeek, /apps/panel/default_setup/objects/menu_bar
[22:23] <donkeyofdarkness> check the use_custom_icon option
[22:23] <xivanari> i would just like to get it working again to the point where i can use compiz-fusion desktop effects again, but everytime i change the driver settings in screen and graphics preferences, it reverts back to the old vesa settings as soon as i click ok
[22:23] <theunixgeek> donkeyofdarkness: it's still the ubuntu logo
[22:23] <donkeyofdarkness> then change the icon
[22:23] <donkeyofdarkness> then restart the gnome panel
[22:23] <xivanari> crdlb: hello are you here?
[22:23] <georgy_28> mxrider, : sorry, but don't know a issue yet
[22:23] <theunixgeek> ok
[22:23] <theunixgeek> donkeyofdarkness: still the ubuntu logo
[22:24] <donkeyofdarkness> hmm
[22:24] <donkeyofdarkness> If I remember correctly I think it has to be a certain size
[22:24] <theunixgeek> donkeyofdarkness: maybe I need to specify an icon. I'll check /usr/share/pixmaps
[22:24] <JoeThomas> set wrong ./configure options at first. not tring to redo but get a '...mod_deflate has been requested but can not be built due to prerequisite failures.'
[22:25] <donkeyofdarkness> put the path to the icon in the custom_icon field
[22:25] <brohken> hello can someone assist me with my sound and brightness controls on my thinkpad??
[22:25] <brohken> im using an nvidia 140m
[22:25] <BubblegumTate> I can't get ubuntu 7.10  to boot normally, after the grub screen it just goes blank and won't show anything, If I go to failsafe mode and type gdm, the video mode works fine... what's going on
[22:25] <theunixgeek> donkeyofdarkness: nope
[22:25] <donkeyofdarkness> :(
[22:25] <theunixgeek> :(
[22:26] <Zamarronstein> i have a hp dv1000 and the sound works, but the microphone don't work... what can i do?
[22:26] <theunixgeek> !repeat | Zamarronstein
[22:26] <ubotu> Zamarronstein: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[22:26] <NemesisD> ArthurArchnix, it does not allow me to use that alt+f1 shortcut
[22:26] <brohken> hello can someone assist me with my sound and brightness controls on my thinkpad??
[22:26] <brohken> im using an nvidia 140m
[22:26] <Zamarronstein> hehe ok
[22:26] <theunixgeek> !anyone | brohken
[22:26] <ubotu> brohken: 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?
[22:26] <Zamarronstein> excuse me
[22:27] <JoeThomas> Anyone know how to 'cleanup' so that I don't get a '.. can not be built due to prerequisite failures'?
[22:27] <javaJake> erUSUL, you seemed to know something about initrd.img files...
[22:27] <sdw> synaptic seems to only be listing software that is already installed on my computer. how do I get it to list other packages that I wish to install that are not already installed?
[22:27] <loguser1> i need a graphical stat shower of my internet speed. and trafic.
[22:27] <brohken> theunixgeek, i did state my question
[22:28] <sdw> i did an offline installation this time, so I'm running into problems. should I installed it again with a working internet connection to make everything work correctly from the start?
[22:28] <zenwhen> How is it supposed to know what you wish to install?
[22:28] <NemesisD> now ubuntu hangs while booting at: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:0a.0[A]->link[ACP3]->GSI 18 (level, low)-> irq 18
[22:29] <ArthurArchnix> NemesisD: So what did you do again? You rebooted and tried to boot normally and what happened?
[22:29] <Templar> hi there anyone had problems with window frames and titles dissappearing using compiz - just dissappeared for some odd reason today
[22:29] <loguser1> any ideas?
[22:30] <NemesisD> ArthurArchnix, booting normally i get to that ubuntu logo with the orange progress bar, it gets to like 15% or so then just stops, and you can't alt+f1 out of that so I have to force a reboot, i then tried using the recovery mode from grub which is where I got that last message
[22:30] <sdw> zenwhen: it is supposed to list all software, that which is either installed or not installed. on feisty i would just check what i wanted to install/remove and then click apply
[22:31] <flakrat> I'm trying to get LDAPClientAuthentication working, i installed "libpam-ldap libnss-ldap nss-updatedb", the help doc suggests that /etc/libnss-ldap.conf should exist, I can't find it. is this file not needed on 7.10?
[22:31] <ArthurArchnix> NemesisD: I'm sorry, I mistyped. It's Ctrl+Alt+F1.
[22:31] <NemesisD> ArthurArchnix, thats what i tried initially and it won't do anything either
[22:31] <Cap1ain> is there software to restore files from my damaged ext3 partition?
[22:32] <Cap1ain> errr...free software
[22:32] <ArthurArchnix> NemesisD: And recovery mode doesn't take you to a terminal where you can log in?
[22:32] <DM|> whats the command for seeing what the IP addresses are on your DHCP network ( dhcp table on router never worked)
[22:32] <NemesisD> ArthurArchnix, im sure it would if it could get that far, both ways are hanging before I can get to a place where I can log in
[22:32] <MilitantHippie> Hi, could anyone help me getting my wireless network card working?
[22:32] <bradv> !wifi | MilitantHippie
[22:32] <ubotu> MilitantHippie: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[22:32] <ArthurArchnix> NemesisD: Do you have the live cd, or the alternate?
[22:33] <riotkittie> MilitantHippie: what chipset?
[22:33] <NemesisD> ArthurArchnix, yeah im sure i have it kicking around here somewhere
[22:33] <MilitantHippie> Broadcom 43xx
[22:33] <MilitantHippie> the method previously used is not working with gutsy
[22:33] <DrakeJustice_> MilitantHippie: i love that card... soo much
[22:33] <riotkittie> MilitantHippie: ooh. broadcom's are out of my league.
[22:33] <DrakeJustice_> MilitantHippie: j/k it sucks in tux
[22:33] <bardyr> MilitantHippie, install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[22:33] <MilitantHippie> blame Lenovo
[22:34] <bardyr> MilitantHippie, or use the restricted-manger to install the needed firmware
[22:34] <Nirevus> When ever I power on I get a Video Mode Not Supported screen for about 10 seconds after GRUB has loaded Ubuntu.
[22:34] <ArthurArchnix> You're going to need to boot up with the live cd. I can't understand why it doesn't even let you get to a terminal. I've never encountered an error that prevented that. Even when it can't mount your root partition you get something.
[22:34] <xivanari> crdlb_: hello?
[22:34] <javb> i have a printer, ethernet connection, connected to my lan, with a IP, how can use it from UBUNTU.. the printer is SUPPORTED in Ubuntu via USB (HP 3055)
[22:34] <DrakeJustice_> MilitantHippie: no no don't install bcm43xx-fwcutter, use the restricted driver manager to do that...
[22:34] <xivanari> crdlb: hello? you there?
[22:34] <kazol2> DrakeJustice_: Why?
[22:34] <MilitantHippie> okay, hang on
[22:34] <kazol2> DrakeJustice_: The driver worked very badly for me.
[22:34] <bardyr> DrakeJustice_, and difference between the methods?
[22:34] <DrakeJustice_> kazol2: the restricted manager places the .ko's and the /etc junk... fwcutter doesn't
[22:35] <Skyrail> If I've got a Fedora PC connected to my ubuntu PC via a crossover cable and my ubuntu PC is connected to the internet via a router, if I wanted to connect to the Fedora PC (10.10.10.2) from the internet I'd have to go through the ubuntu PC (10.10.10.1 and 192.168.0.6) using VPN. I presume the ubuntu PC will be the VPN server, but what will the Fedora PC require on it?
[22:35] <loguser1> i need a graphical stat shower of my internet speed. and trafic.
[22:35] <MilitantHippie> Hi, could anyone help me getting my wireless network card working?
[22:35] <NemesisD> ArthurArchnix, ok and do what once i boot
[22:35] <MilitantHippie> oops
[22:35] <MilitantHippie> wrong paste
[22:35] <javb> Any ideas which protocol to use via IP?
[22:35] <MilitantHippie> The software source for the package
[22:35] <MilitantHippie> bcm43xx-fwcutter
[22:35] <MilitantHippie> is not enabled.
[22:35] <ArthurArchnix> NemesisD: ... geez... I dunno.
[22:35] <MilitantHippie> thats the error restricted drivers gives me
[22:35] <ArthurArchnix> NemesisD: If it was an fstab problem you'd get something.
[22:36] <NemesisD> ugh this bugs me, it was working great last night
[22:36] <kazol2> I have a problem with bcm43xx-fwcutter-I get this while trying to input the file:
[22:36] <kazol2>  sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware ~/Desktop/wl_apsta.o
[22:36] <kazol2> Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by bcm43xx-fwcutter.
[22:36] <ArthurArchnix> NemesisD: Did you make any changes?
[22:36] <Cpudan80> MilitantHippie: It should say "Do you wish to enable the restricted driver"
[22:36] <Cpudan80> MilitantHippie: Do it
[22:36] <NemesisD> ArthurArchnix, remember a few days ago that smbfs update that was 403ed?
[22:36] <MilitantHippie> yeah, and i click enable
[22:36] <MilitantHippie> and thats the error it gives me
[22:36] <blkorpheus> I see many issues I can help with
[22:36] <blkorpheus> but they all scroll by so fast:(
[22:36] <blkorpheus> too many users:/
[22:36] <ArthurArchnix> NemesisD: No. This system is plugged into a network?
[22:37] <NemesisD> ArthurArchnix, no, its wireless
[22:37] <NemesisD> it has 2 ethernet ports though
[22:37] <georgy_28> javb : tcp/socket  ip_printer   port : 9100
[22:38] <Sharpie> why can't i copy stuff (when i do sudo cp...it writes "omitting directory:..." and doesn't copy it)
[22:38] <javb> georgy_28: Mmm, when click on new printer no i have, to the left, just "other" when before i use to have different kind of printers... any idea?
[22:39] <xdcdx> Sharpie, if you want to copy recursively use cp -R
[22:39] <NemesisD> ArthurArchnix, also i was booting back and forth from windows all day, and the last thing the only thing i changed/installed was i installed ruby1.9 and that's it
[22:39] <javb> i just have: print into pdf, samba printer, ipp, lpd, and other...
[22:39] <javb> Any idea?
[22:40] <georgy_28> javb : no
[22:40] <ArthurArchnix> NemesisD: How long have you given it to boot, are you sure it hasn't just hung, maybe needs to do some kind of self-check before it continues?
[22:41] <NemesisD> I haven't given it a ton of time but maybe 2 or 3 minutes, definitely way longer than it normally takes
[22:41] <ArthurArchnix> NemesisD: I don't know what to tell you. If you can't boot to a terminal in recovery mode... best keep asking. There's bound to be someone here who can help eventually.
[22:42] <kleedrac> Is there any way of mounting a ghost archive (.gho) to the filesystem?
[22:43] <ArthurArchnix> NemesisD: Well, reboot give it five or more, and get the specific error messages, or whatever you can, and then come back and keep asking.
[22:43] <ArthurArchnix> NemesisD: If it's doing some kind of disk check that could take more than three minutes.
[22:43] <NemesisD> brb

[22:45] <rockets> Whisperkiller, go get the latest driver from ati.com
[22:45] <mikebeecham> hi guys...for some reason I cannot mount or unmount drives as a user....can anyone help me?  It tells me I dont have the privileges to mount or unmount
[22:45] <d4rkmonkey> mikebeecham from command line, put sudo before the command
[22:45] <Whisperkiller> i tried the latest driver the other day and had to reinstall linux
[22:46] <DanRaider> how long does a modprob take?
[22:46] <Whisperkiller> did they come out with a new driver that fixes the problems?

[22:46] <AngryElf_> does anyone now how to make my regular (analog) sound go out my digital output (SPDIF) ???
[22:46] <rockets> Whisperkiller?
[22:46] <rockets> Whisperkiller, they came out with a new driver that fixes many issues compared to the one in the ubuntu repos
[22:46] <Whisperkiller> did they come out with a new driver that fixes it?
[22:46] <d4rkmonkey> mikebeecham uhhh I dunno? that was just a random suggestion since sudo runs a command as root.

[22:59] <firebird619> Could someone help me? I have been working on figuring out why / is full. It is /home that Disk Usage Analyzer shows as taking up the most space, but I have that on a separate partition. I use LVM. However, Disk Usage Analyzer shows my home directory as being at 100% full. The df -h command shows home as being 38% full. Even with home on a separate partition, does that still factor in to / being full?

[23:03] <jw5801> kane77: I use 64-bit. It's not much of a difference but I don't see why we shouldn't use the full potential of our processors. It's really up to you though. Flash is really easy to install with gutsy and java is getting easier
[23:03] <mookid> life is wierd
[23:03] <Drake> lol mookid
[23:03] <OmnipotentEntity> Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble with USB devices.  Whenever I plug a phone (or once, a camera) my computer immediately powers off.
[23:03] <Mister> Hey guys
[23:03] <OmnipotentEntity> It doesn't happen unless I'm currently running Linux.
[23:03] <jw5801> haha we went from 1217 people to about 650 and then back again
[23:03] <OmnipotentEntity> And if I have the device plugged in while I'm booting it powers off when it detects it.
[23:03] <Drake> anyways... anyone know the link for installing NWN Dimond?
[23:03] <siloko> OmnipotentEntity: so you think it is ram rather than my processor ?
[23:04] <OmnipotentEntity> siloko, don't know.
[23:04] <Altu59> How can I install a theme like this in Gutsy? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Aero+Emerald?content=68889
[23:04] <kane77> jw5801, you did it.. I'm staying 64-bit :)
[23:04] <BubblegumTate> My Screen goes blank on startup, I can get into x quite happily in recovery mode using startx or gdm, I've tried using dpkg-reconfigure to autodetect the screen etc. but no joy. this is driving me insane!
[23:04] <Drake> NWN Diamond
[23:04] <Mister> I'm assuming that this is a good place for assistance?
[23:04] <OmnipotentEntity> But turning the multiplier down clocks both of them back.
[23:04] <kane77> Altu59, using emerald...
[23:04] <jw5801> kane77:  : )
[23:04] <siloko> OmnipotentEntity: ok thx
[23:04] <Altu59> kane77: how can I use emerald :D ?
[23:05] <Mister> ?
[23:05] <kane77> Altu59, do you have it installed?
[23:05] <kane77> !info emerald | Altu59
[23:05] <ubotu> altu59: emerald: Decorator for compiz-fusion. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3~git20070717-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 198 kB, installed size 956 kB
[23:05] <kleedrac> Is there any way of mounting a ghost archive (.gho) to the filesystem?
[23:05] <Drake> anyone know the link for installing NWN Diamond on ubuntu *prays for stablization*
[23:05] <Altu59> kane77: no
[23:06] <Altu59> kane77: let me see if I can install it
[23:06] <PanzerMKZ> Drake that is nwn1 yes?
[23:06] <Drake> yep
[23:06] <PanzerMKZ> pop the manufacturers forum for that
[23:06] <kane77> Drake, what is nwn?
[23:06] <PanzerMKZ> drake you get that
[23:07] <Drake> .neverwinter nights
[23:07] <Altu59> kane77: i installed it, now how can I install that theme?
[23:07] <Mister> Here's my question.
[23:07] <Drake> PanzerMKZ: nope
[23:07] <PanzerMKZ> there are instructions there
[23:07] <PanzerMKZ> not for diamon
[23:07] <Mister> What happens when you try to use the terminal to install something, say WINE for instance, but it doesn't work.
[23:07] <PanzerMKZ> you got to install base game first
[23:07] <rahanjam> how do i connect to other irc servers ?
[23:07] <Drake> i did... its installed in the WIne
[23:07] <Mister> And then, you can't install anything else because your package manager is now messed up.
[23:07] <LjL> rahanjam: /server serverhostname
[23:07] <PanzerMKZ> why ?
[23:08] <Mister> I can give the error message if you want, also.
[23:08] <PanzerMKZ> it is linux native
[23:08] <Mister> What should I do to fix it?
[23:08] <rahanjam> LjL i use xchat, does it work there to ?
[23:08] <kane77> Altu59, I don't know the exact steps and don't have ubuntu here to check.. downloading would be a good start...
[23:08] <nickrud> Mister: put up the complete error message
[23:08] <Mister> :)
[23:08] <PanzerMKZ> go read the linux install instuctions again
[23:08] <robboplus_> will setting txqueuelen to 1000 on my eth0 help with networking performance?
[23:08] <PanzerMKZ> you don't havve to use wine for nwn1
[23:08] <Mister> An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
[23:08] <Mister> Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
[23:08] <Mister> 'E:Type '--20:30:42--' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.'
[23:09] <Drake> i keep getting an error that security something cant be opened or something like that
[23:09] <PanzerMKZ> yea can you is under wine
[23:09] <PanzerMKZ> install on the hardware native first
[23:09] <Drake> hardware native?
[23:09] <Mister> any ideas?
[23:09] <PanzerMKZ> you got ubuntu right
[23:09] <PanzerMKZ> install it under ubuntu
[23:09] <Drake> yea... gutsy
[23:09] <kane77> Altu59, if I remember, there should be emerald starter in System -> Preferences
[23:10] <criminy> I'm getting values from i2cdetect, but I can't find anything with sensors-detect
[23:10] <nickrud> Mister: erm, 'put up' meant on a pastebin, my bad.
[23:10] <PanzerMKZ> not wine
[23:10] <criminy> SMBus I801 adapter at eda0
[23:10] <Drake> here is the error for ref. "A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed."
[23:10] <Drake> let me try that

[23:10] <Exal> ?
[23:10] <osxdude> Hey all
[23:10] <nickrud> Mister: you need to delete the file winehq.list , it didn't get created right. sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list , then redo the instructions from winehq
[23:11] <Mister> nickrud: you'll have to forgive my ignorance, but I havn't been using Linux for that long. What is a pastebin? ...eheh....
[23:11] <k31th> can i have the 3d spinning box with compiz?
[23:11] <nickrud> !pastebin | Mister
[23:11] <ubotu> Mister: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[23:11] <ArthurArchnix> k31th: Yes.
[23:11] <nickrud> Mister: like I said, my bad for not saying pastebin :)
[23:11] <osxdude> I have a dual monitor setup and I have edited a GConf file to try to make the following work.
[23:11] <k31th> ArthurArchnix: where is the setup for compiz?
[23:11] <NemesisD> my ubuntu partition for some reason hangs at the loading screen. i am unable to get to terminal with ctrl alt f1 and when i run in recovery mode it has paused on 1 of 2 messages, either one about a pci interrupt or it just sticks at skge eth0: enabling interface
[23:11] <ArthurArchnix> k31th: You need to install compiz-settings-manager.
[23:12] <k31th> ArthurArchnix: cheers :D
[23:12] <Drake> what would i put for the destination dir for nwn?
[23:12] <osxdude> For some reason, on VNC and screenshots, you are only able to see the top left corner, and it's 1024x768 sized.
[23:12] <Mister> Ohhhhhh, okay.
[23:12] <PanzerMKZ> waht ever you want
[23:12] <PanzerMKZ> I did mine as a folder in my user folder
[23:12] <Mister> Thanks, Nickrud, I'll try that.
[23:13] <Drake> okay
[23:13] <ArthurArchnix> k31th: Looks like I got the name wrong. In synaptic it's called compizconfig-settings-manager
[23:14] <ahammond> I want to run unzip remotely via ssh, how do I control what working directory it runs in?
[23:14] <k31th> ArthurArchnix: installing :D
[23:14] <VSpike> is there a font administration tool in gnome?
[23:14] <nickrud> VSpike: apps->prefs->appearance->fonts tab
[23:14]  * ArthurArchnix apologizees.
[23:15] <Cooner750> hello again
[23:15] <jals> is there a replacement for the default "suspend" option, cos it doesn't work for me
[23:15] <Cooner750> is it normal for the entire system to lock up during the 7.10 update? o_o
[23:15] <osxdude> I have a dual monitor setup and I have edited a GConf file to try to make the following work. For some reason, on VNC and screenshots, you are only able to see the top left corner, and it's 1024x768 sized. Here is what a screenshot would look like = http://osxdude.is-a-geek.com/Screenshot.png
[23:15] <nickrud> jals: welcome to the rest of us ;(
[23:15] <NemesisD> ugh this is a very bad day for this to be happening
[23:15] <Cooner750> Because my entire system was unresponsive while the package console-terminus was being installed
[23:16] <Cooner750> I was very close to killing power
[23:16] <VSpike> nickrud:  thanks
[23:16] <Mister> nickrud: it says that the directory doesn't exist....should I try to find it elsewhere?
[23:16] <jals> nickrud, like that huh?
[23:16] <jals> crap
[23:17] <VSpike> nickrud: is there any easy way to install some font files from the desktop?
[23:17] <k31th> ArthurArchnix: where does it put the panel?
[23:17]  * rabidweezle installs legacy of kain defiance
[23:17] <Cooner750> Argh
[23:17] <Cooner750> Upgrade takes forever
[23:17] <Mister> hahaha, looks like you're busy today, nickrud. :)
[23:17] <k31th> i cant seem to find it as dumb as it sounds.
[23:17] <ArthurArchnix> k31th: ?
[23:17] <nickrud> Mister: make sure you typed it correctly; also, you could try cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ , and ls should show the winehq.list ; sudo rm winehq.list
[23:17] <Cooner750> It would've been quicker to wipe it and install 7.10 from a DVD
[23:17] <k31th> ArthurArchnix: compiz config
[23:17] <nickrud> jals: yeah, it's a real hit or miss
[23:18] <ArthurArchnix> k31th: Ah... if I recall, applications accessories?
[23:18] <nickrud> VSpike: drag the font file onto the dialog window I mentioned
[23:18] <osxdude> I have a dual monitor setup and I have edited a GConf file to try to make the following work. For some reason, on VNC and screenshots, you are only able to see the top left corner, and it's 1024x768 sized. Here is what a screenshot would look like = http://osxdude.is-a-geek.com/Screenshot.png
[23:18] <Mister> so using the terminal is really the best way to go?
[23:18] <jals> this could be a problem
[23:18] <ArthurArchnix> k31th: or... system preferences?
[23:18] <nickrud> Mister: heh, beats working right now :)
[23:18] <jals> i can't go on forever shutting down and restarting everyday
[23:18] <VSpike> nickrud: doesn't seem to work - won't it require su?
[23:18] <ArthurArchnix> k31th: Or just hit Alt+F2 and type it in: compizconfig-settings-manager
[23:18] <nickrud> Mister: yes, for my personal stuff I use the file manager, but the terminal exclusively for system stuff
[23:19] <VSpike> nickrud: you're meaning the fonts:/// window?
[23:19] <nickrud> VSpike: no, it would end up unpacking the font file into ~/.fonts , no su needed
[23:19] <nickrud> VSpike: no, apps->prefs->appearance
[23:19] <clincks> Hi all
[23:19] <nickrud> jals: you might try looking on ubuntuforums for a fix, it's pretty hardware dependent
[23:20] <VSpike> nickrud: nope, does nothing
[23:20] <nickrud> VSpike: it's a ttf?
[23:20] <clincks> I need some help with proftpd config
[23:20] <Altu60> I have emerald installed
[23:20] <Altu60> and I imported a theme
[23:20] <jals> nickrud, will do, there must be something to be done abou tit
[23:20] <VSpike> nickrud: yep
[23:20] <jals> about it
[23:20] <Altu60> how can I use that theme now?
[23:20] <Mister> Cool, just wanted to make sure i was on the right track.
[23:21] <nickrud> VSpike: then copy it to ~/.fonts (you may have to create the dir) and run fc-cache (rebuilds the font cache)
[23:21] <clincks> No geeks here ?
[23:21] <santor> kde rules
[23:21] <santor> gnome sucks

[23:22] <VSpike> nickrud: presumably I can copy to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ instead?
[23:22] <dark> italian?
[23:22] <pr1r> hey all
[23:22] <nickrud> VSpike: yes, for all users, if it's just you on the machine, ~/.fonts is best because when you backup your home you keep your fonts
[23:22] <criminy> Does the ubuntu live cd contain lm-sensors?
[23:22] <pr1r> think i have a dumb question
[23:22] <VSpike> nickrud: good point
[23:22] <Mister> haha! Awesome!
[23:22] <Mister> It worked!
[23:23] <criminy> looks like I'll find out

[23:23] <dhinesh> realplayer plugin
[23:23] <dark> virtual drive for ubuntu?
[23:23] <Mister> Thanks a lot!!
[23:23] <nickrud> Mister: that stuff under /etc/apt is what controls where you get your software from, worth studying for a bit
[23:23] <Altu60> BubblegumTate: I have compiz enabled and it is working. but I don't know how to use an emerald theme. I have emerald installed and also I have imported a theme, but there's not an apply button or something like...

[23:24] <Mister> Take your time:) I'm just glad to be learning.
[23:24] <firebird619> Could someone help me? I have been working on figuring out why / is full. It is /home that Disk Usage Analyzer shows as taking up the most space, but I have that on a separate partition. I use LVM. However, Disk Usage Analyzer shows my home directory as being at 100% full. The df -h command shows home as being 38% full. Even with home on a separate partition, does that still factor in to / being full?
[23:24] <BubblegumTate> that was for my benefit, I needed the link
[23:24] <VSpike> PrimoTurbo: sudo chown -R someuser thefolder/

 are you a bot?
[23:27] <PrimoTurbo> also the premissions only change inside the fodler and not for the folder itself

[23:29] <nickrud> dhinesh: what's the issue? I'm good for about 3 of 10 questions asked here :)
[23:29] <pr1r> whabo: i had that happen... i ended up burning it at a slower speed and it worked...

[23:31] <dhinesh> nickrud: Now i want to play one online mp3 songs from realplayer. It askes install plugin. I pressed install button in this window to install plugin. It showing installtion complete msg. But still the player status "status loading:" what i have to do
[23:31] <VSpike> Comrade-Sergei: nope - you'll need to install from the vmware site
[23:31] <nickrud> Mister: another page, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories ; and search the web for the debian administrator handbook
[23:31] <Comrade-Sergei> VSpike, its not free is it?
[23:31] <x_or> Does anyone know why I would get a fsck error "The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
[23:31] <x_or> filesystem."
[23:31] <VSpike> Comrade-Sergei: it doesn't cost anything
[23:32] <donkeyofdarkness> maybe it's not ext2/
[23:32] <nickrud> dhinesh: you mean firefox said install missing plugin or some such?
[23:32] <donkeyofdarkness> ?
[23:32] <KI4IKL|Lappy> I have an Acer Aspire 3050 and I got my sound on my speakers to work, and now it's crackling. It has been doing it since I gto the sound working. It's only when audio is actually coming out of the speakers.
[23:32] <bradv> x_or: Either its not ext2/3 or its fsck'd
[23:32] <Comrade-Sergei> VSpike, it does for windows anyways

[23:32] <Whisperkiller> hey how do i know if i have posix shared memory?

[23:33] <pr1r> ok so i have 2 video cards and im trying to get my AGP Nvidia geforce fx 5200 to work... can someone help me out?
[23:33] <dhinesh> nickrud: ok nickrud. i will update u after i installed that player
[23:33] <x_or> bradv:  I think this is because it is an lvm partition, I'm installing lvm2, will run pvscan.

[23:41] <ipx_laptop> How can I autostart a superuser-application without having to retype the password at startup? (Firestarter)
[23:42] <rasky> Is lost terminal made up?
[23:42] <rasky> I've never seen that exit message before.
[23:42] <Pelo> ipx_laptop, firestarter is just a frontend , once you have used it to set the rules you want/need you don'T actualy need it anymore
[23:42] <nickrud> ipx_laptop: you don't need to start the firestarter gui on startup, it creates a script that sets up your firewall on boot
[23:42] <Outlier> Pelo, I don't think it does.  I'm also not sure how to point it to the drive I want it to use.
[23:42] <ipx_laptop> Pelo: Im still interested in having it opened so I can see logs etc and change ports easily
[23:43] <ipx_laptop> nickrud, Pelo: Thanks! Its iptables huh?
[23:43] <Pelo> ipx_laptop,  just open it and in  prefs > sessions,  cick save session
[23:44]  * nickrud goes for a smoke, the house is well watched :)
[23:44] <Pelo> Outlier,  you can pick the drive in  edit prefs
[23:44]  * Pelo starts to rip up  the place while nickrud  is away smoking

[23:45] <Outlier> Pelo - ok.  Maybe I could use grip for the other drive then.  If I have a drives at scsi 4:0:0:0 and scsi 5:0:0:0 any idea what /dev/sd? that would be ?
[23:45] <sturmfuehrer> (it could take longer, though...)
[23:45] <choudesh> sturmfuehrer: what do you need help with and follow LjLs request please.
[23:45] <Pelo> linux88,  did you review the wifi documentation ?
[23:45] <ozzloy> hi, i was messing with 3d effects settings, now i can't run compiz --replace
[23:46] <linux88> Pelo no on what?

[23:46] <james_hetfield> lib.
[23:46] <choudesh> james_hetfield: what is your issue with it?
[23:46] <Pelo> Outlier,  did you check what is listed ? it's not the devtree it'S the drives model
[23:46] <soundray> james_hetfield: that's better :)  What about tzdata?
[23:46] <donkeyofdarkness> ubuntu was easy to set up on my box

[23:46] <linux88> Pelo how do i find out what drier i would need
[23:46] <james_hetfield> even on the debian mail lists, there isn't a solution.
[23:47] <Pelo> ozzloy,  sme backbround would help
[23:47] <choudesh> james_hetfield: the current version is @ 2007h
[23:47] <Pelo> linux88, linux driver not sure,  windows just check the makers site,  this might also help  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[23:47] <ozzloy> Pelo: i was messing with the settings in System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop ...
[23:47] <Haemoth> ipx_laptop: If you *really* want it on startup, you can add firestarter to your sudoers file so it doesn't ask for password, and then add to sessions.
[23:47] <Outlier> Pelo - yes, I got that in Sound Juicer, but SJ doesn't allow multiple sessions apparently.  I figured to use grip for the other drive, but it /dev/sdg or some such.
[23:47] <LinuxJuggalo> anyone got their laptop auto shutdown on gutsy? it just happened to me and i cant figure out why it did it

[23:48] <AlanBShepard70> Ubuntu isn't loading/recognizing a ext3 partition on my hard drive and and USB flash drive.  The drive and partition have been formatted but don't show. the ext partition was created when I was installing ubuntu from the alt install cd and the flash drive was formatted from windows since ubuntu doesn't load it.
[23:48] <ozzloy> Pelo: so i signed out and back in.  then the top bar didn't come up.  the background loaded, but that's it
[23:49] <choudesh> james_hetfield: that is odd. My personal repo has it @ 2007h
[23:49] <ozzloy> Pelo: right clicking did nothing, the only way i could do anything was alt+f2 -> gnome-terminal
[23:49] <Pelo> ozzloy,  you're messing around with the compiz stuff I think you can disable it in the same place you started it , then ask in #compiz-fusion for more info , they shold be able to tell you what your video card can handle and how to get the most out of it

[23:55] <ozzloy> nickrud: i think i have to edit a config file somewhere and everything should be fine
[23:55] <KittenOfWar> If I add an account and let him in my group, would that be a security risk>?

[23:56] <soundray> Whisperkiller: ~ is a variable. Do an 'echo ~' to see what it stands for
[23:56] <Whisperkiller> no such file or directory
[23:56] <_Johny> linux88, is it an internal card?
[23:56] <linux88> _johny ya it is

[23:59] <spencerk> Hi #ubuntu, is it possible the two write the script to open two applications  simultaneously ?  Whenever I open an application from a script, that terminal  just sits there waiting for it to close.
