[00:00] <kukman> What program can make light screenshot (<500kb) and save it to the folder
[00:00] <Pelo> spencerk,  both tommand on the same line seperated by &&
[00:00] <james_hetfield>  Installed: 2007i-0ubuntu0.7.10
[00:00] <sizzam> kukman: does it have to be a fullscreen screenshot, or just of one application window
[00:00] <james_hetfield> strange...
[00:00] <kukman> full screen
[00:00] <spencerk> Pelo, thx
[00:00] <donkeyofdarkness> kukman, irfanview
[00:00] <_Johny> kukman, Can you stop screeming please?. Someone give you a hand when they can, no reason for it...
[00:00] <kukman> without any dialogs
[00:00] <james_hetfield> soundray:  Installed: 2007i-0ubuntu0.7.10
[00:01] <sizzam> kukman: ok, i don't know the answer
[00:01] <donkeyofdarkness> irfanview
[00:01] <james_hetfield> Is there a way to revert to 2007h?
[00:01] <sizzam> kukman: won't gnome-screenshot do it?
[00:02] <kukman> thanks for the answers.
[00:02] <donkeyofdarkness> irfanview lets you set a keyboard shortcut for screenshots. and you can set the quality and stuff beforehand
[00:02] <soundray> james_hetfield: have you played with hardy repositories?
[00:02] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i use VirtualBox to install XP to a real HDD?
[00:02] <james_hetfield> soundray: well, yes I have...
[00:02] <donkeyofdarkness> It's for windows though. don't know how well the capture works on linux
[00:02] <bradv> spencerk: Append & to the end of the command (after a space) to get it to spin off as a new process.
[00:02] <soundray> james_hetfield: that's too bad -- downgrading will be excruciatingly difficult
[00:03] <jnb> does someone know which directory/ies i should backup if i want to backup my drivers for my ATI radeon 9800? i want to backup them before i install any new drivers
[00:03] <neur1> is there a pager setting to make it transparent?
[00:03] <james_hetfield> soundray: yeah, i figured it out by now : )
[00:04] <abcent> .... nvidia-installer: Error opening log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for writing (Permission denied); disabling logging.
[00:04] <Whisperkiller> yeah it tells me no such file or directory
[00:04] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i install xp to a external HDD in ubuntu
[00:04] <Whisperkiller> man this is getting aggravating
[00:04] <jals> how do i kill firefox
[00:04] <Pelo> later folks
[00:04] <bradv> jala: killall firefox-bin
[00:04] <blue42> abcent: need to be root to run that
[00:04] <jals> it says it's running but i don't see it
[00:04] <choudesh> jals: open terminal `sudo killall firefox-bin` or use the System->Admin->System Monitor to kill it
[00:04] <soundray> james_hetfield: your options are: reinstall gutsy, live with your system as it is and don't update (could be a security risk), or keep up with hardy (can break your system, only recommended if you have backups & time on your hands etc.)
[00:04] <sizzam> Whisperkiller: what are you trying to do?
[00:04] <james_hetfield> You can always use the system monitor
[00:05] <jals> james_hetfield, where is that
[00:05] <abcent> thnx blue42 ... this is all new for me :)
[00:05] <blue42> abcent: wait, before you do that
[00:05] <james_hetfield> soundray: I was thinking, they should come up with a working 2007i soon, right?

[00:08] <choudesh> james_hetfield: please use pastebin. try to dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[00:08] <jals> is there a quick way to quit X to install gfx drivers?
[00:08] <james_hetfield> tried
[00:09] <V1k1ng> linux88:  look for it under system >> admin >> restricted drivers manager
[00:09] <jnb> In which directory is the drivers for the graphic card?
[00:09] <choudesh> james_hetfield: hmm... apt-get install --purge tzdata
[00:09] <Jack_Sparrow> james_hetfield: Why didnt it work?  It is quite simple
[00:09] <abcent> enabled is ticked, and in use
[00:09] <soundray> choudesh: no, please...
[00:09] <blue42> jals:  yes... ctrl-alt-f1 to go to new terminal, run 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop'
[00:09] <bradv> Whisperkiller: Please use people's names when you address them. Were any of those comments directed to me?
[00:09] <choudesh> soundray: ?

[00:09] <linux88> v1k1ng says i didnt need any supported drivers, and lspci doesnt show me the driver or card either
[00:10] <mikebeecham> what samba client tools should I have for gutsy gibbon?
[00:10] <choudesh> soundray: PM please.
[00:10] <soundray> james_hetfield: don't do as choudesh suggests, unless you have a full backup and don't mind reinstalling
[00:10] <blue42> abcent: then you're ready to go
[00:10] <blue42> abcent: as a test, try opening a terminal, and running 'nvidia-settings'
[00:10] <james_hetfield> soundray: yep, I'm reading now
[00:10] <_Johny> linux88, What distro are you using?
[00:10] <V1k1ng> linux88:  lol!  I guess you could try to install ndiswrapper and use the drivers from windows
[00:10] <Whisperkiller> bradv: the previous comments were yes
[00:11] <EchoBinary> how do i turn off compositing when i cant see any windows? i set the compositing tweak, and now i cant see anything, is there any solution?

[00:11] <mikebeecham> what samba client tools should I have for gutsy gibbon?
[00:11] <V1k1ng> linux88,   it should have detected your broadcom card
[00:11] <Whisperkiller> sizzam: that walkthrough doesnt address install from ati website for gutsy
[00:11] <choudesh> soundray: I thought they fixed that with tzdata 2007-h? I thought you should be able to purge it and install 2007i-1
[00:11] <bradv> Whisperkiller: Does the file have execute permissions? Check ls -al and see if there is an x listed in the permissions column.
[00:11] <LjL> EchoBinary: so you did something that you knew was a tweak/hack, without knowing how to revert it? congratulations ;P
[00:11] <sizzam> Whisperkiller: won't the drivers from the repositories work for you?
[00:11] <choudesh> soundray: seems the only thing that will fix his issue is using 2007i-1

[00:12] <Whisperkiller> sizzam: no they most certainly will not lol i have an x1950 agp card and it doesnt work with repository drivers
[00:12] <EchoBinary> LjL: if you go to settings >> and window manager tweaks there is a whole list of options
[00:12] <james_hetfield> choudesh , soundray , thank you for the help, I'll think of something.

[00:13] <_Johny> linux88, BIOS?
[00:13] <Aintaer> heh, I have wesnoth port open
[00:13] <Aintaer> that's not a big threat, right
[00:13] <james_hetfield> soundray: well, It's a long debate :  )
[00:13] <LjL> EchoBinary, i think gutsy has some safe graphics mode you can boot in
[00:13] <Twenty> portuguese? :)
[00:14] <mikebeecham> what samba client tools should I have for gutsy gibbon?
[00:14] <mikebeecham> please...I need to know
[00:14] <choudesh> LjL: heh. That just made me giggle.
[00:14] <EchoBinary> LjL: i tried that  - but it wont let me unselect because there is no runnign window manager

[00:14] <soundray> james_hetfield: exactly, and it's not for here (/msg ubotu o4o)
[00:14] <xristian> is there a manual for bluefish ?
[00:14] <linux88> _johny could that be why its not even detecting it
[00:14] <sizzam> xristian: do this at a terminal:   man bluefish
[00:14] <james_hetfield> Good Day / Night, gentlemen : )
[00:15] <dissection> lwizardl: Not really. I've been asking help in here regarding this from the past 1 month or so, and either no one knows, or I'm invisible.
[00:15] <mikebeecham> I am working with someone in Samba channel sizzam.  We have gone through samba but what I want to do does not work yet, so he says we need some tools to look into more details.....but I have been using linux 3 days so I dont know
[00:15] <lwizardl> ah so both in the same boat :(
[00:15] <_Johny> linux88, Just to be sure - You could put in the term "sudo grep -i wireless or (WLAN) /var/log/kernel
[00:15] <sizzam> mikebeecham: are you just trying to share a folder on your linux box so you can access it from a windows box?
[00:15] <choudesh> lwizardl: what seems to be the issue?
[00:15] <dissection> lwizardl: Blu-ray or HD-DVD?
[00:16] <mikebeecham> sizzam

[00:17] <choudesh> lwizardl: that that was in one of the new kernels

[00:17] <Bensel> I'm having trouble getting an FTP server to work on Ubuntu. I know the router and everything is set up properly, as it works fine in Windows, but in Ubuntu I can't seem to connect from other computers
[00:17] <xristian> theres no much info about bluefish. i need  somethin more than 1page manual ,,  any idea how to get it ?
[00:18] <sizzam> mikebeecham: i took some notes last time i set up samba, you can see if this helps at all:  http://www.samlesher.com/ubuntu/share-files-with-microsoft-windows-workstations-on-your-network
[00:18] <blue42> TalueTheKatty: ya, it'll run, but invariably one screen will tear like crazy
[00:18] <nickrud> ozzloy: had any success?
[00:18] <lwizardl> choudesh, how do i check which kernal i have?
[00:18] <Bensel> And I've already changed it to port 2001 by suggestion in one of the servers I tried.
[00:18] <choudesh> lwizardl: uname -a
[00:18] <lwizardl>  2.6.22-14-generic
[00:18] <sizzam> frb-work: do you have Firefox set to auto-detect proxy settings?
[00:19] <frb-work> sizzam: I didn't
[00:19] <sizzam> frb-work: maybe that will help, not sure
[00:19] <xristian> anyone tried blue fish as ur html editor ?
[00:19] <sizzam> xristian: i use it sometimes
[00:19] <dissection> mikebeecham: Try system-config-samba. It's a GUI to manage your samba shares.
[00:19] <frb-work> I just edited /etc/environment
[00:19] <frb-work> it's still very dissappointing
[00:19] <nickrud> xristian: http://www.unc.edu/~whitews/bluefish/book.html (don't know just how definitive it is)
[00:20] <digit> does anyone use Enlightenment desktop environment
[00:20] <mikebeecham> dissection: I am using smb4k but it is not working
[00:20] <xristian> thanks for hint
[00:20] <nickrud> xristian: I use it to examine stuff, quicky thingsw
[00:20] <mikebeecham> sizzam: I am looking, but I cannot access the shares
[00:20] <mikebeecham> they are sitting on hdb1
[00:21] <mikebeecham> all media is sitting on my secondary hdd, which is NTFS
[00:21] <mikebeecham> they are all listed within nautilus though
[00:21] <sizzam> mikebeecham: i had the same problem until i manually set a password for that account with this command:  sudo smbpasswd -a <USERNAME>
[00:21] <mikebeecham> I've done that
[00:21] <xristian> thanks anyway nickrudh. im checking it out
[00:21] <mikebeecham> within smb4k i can see hdb1, but it wont let me mount it
[00:21] <jacob> is anybody familiar with http://www.cnr.com?
[00:21] <sizzam> mikebeecham: ahh, k, i'm out of ideas
[00:22] <alain> hi guys..just wanna ask y my k3b wont burn mp3.
[00:22] <mikebeecham> thanks anyway
[00:22] <mshadle> can you upgrade a 32-bit version to a 64-bit version remotely?
[00:22] <Jack_Sparrow> alain: Can you play mp3's
[00:22] <jacob> hi downloaded CNR_Client.cnr, but i cant install it? is it even an installation file?
[00:22] <alain> i can play mp3
[00:22] <kowito>  have a problem with ATI 2600 Pro, Anybody can help me?
[00:22] <LjL> mshadle: actually, you can't upgrade from 32bit to 64bit at all
[00:22] <soundray> alain: probably because you haven't installed libk3b2-mp3
[00:22] <KittenOfWar> sizzam: does the password need to be the same as your boxes login password?
[00:22] <mshadle> weak.
[00:22] <_Johny> kowito, What's the problem
[00:23] <sizzam> KittenOfWar: i always did that as a default, haven't tried it the other way
[00:23] <sizzam> KittenOfWar: actually, disregard that, you can set any password you want for that username i believe
[00:23] <mshadle> what about moving debian to ubuntu remotely? :)
[00:24] <xristian> by the way .. once a guy told i need a repository or somethin like a library for me to compress an audio file to mp3- im talking about soundkonverter.. anyone s dealed this issue?
[00:24] <relapse> hey guys, for some reason my batteru meter in gnome always says 100%, up until it dies, anyone see this before?
[00:24] <Altu60> how can I run avant window manager on startup?
[00:24] <kowito> i'cant install ATI Driver.
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob: Be aware that cnr is NOT for Gutsy...
[00:24] <firpecmox> ATI in linux is almost worthless
[00:24] <bucky1`> i added a microsoft exchange account to my evolution, and i went into mail accounts and deleted it, but there are still remnants of it everywhere.. calendar, tasks, contacts... how do I get rid of all that?
[00:24] <jacob> Jack_Sparrow ok
[00:24] <LjL> jacob: why are you trying to break your system by making some program install random files on sensitive directories, rather than using ubuntu-specific packages from the repositories? :)
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob: Feisty... yes
[00:25] <_Johny> firebird619, Comparing to Nvdia it is, but getting better and better
[00:25] <relapse> hey guys, for some reason my batteru meter in gnome always says 100%, up until it dies, anyone see this before?
[00:25] <lwizardl> choudesh, you know where this patch is supposed to go? because i keep getting file not found for 9 of 9
[00:25] <jacob> Jack_Sparrow: i have ubuntu 7.10
[00:25] <_Johny> relapse, No kernel driver loaded?
[00:26] <firpecmox> has any one tried usin openmosix with ubuntu
[00:26] <kowito> how do i install ATI Driver?
[00:26] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob: What is it you are wanting to do or install...
[00:26] <bazhang_> !ati | kowito
[00:26] <ubotu> kowito: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[00:26] <relapse> _Johny: no, because when i type acpi in terminal it shows correct reading
[00:27] <firpecmox> if your ati card isnt new it prolly wont work
[00:27] <xristian> anyones could convert a wav file to mp3 ? someone told me i need library or utils for make it real
[00:27] <ozzloy> nickrud: yes, turns out i had to go system -> preferences -> advanced ... -> preferences -> reset
[00:27] <bazhang_> relapse: eeepc?
[00:27] <jacob> Jack_Sparrow: i came up with site: cnr.com, but i'm guessing that from the site i need a crn client to install any other programs they offer
[00:27] <relapse> bazhang_: yessir
[00:27] <bazhang_> heh
[00:27] <ozzloy> nickrud: then compiz --replace
[00:27] <firpecmox> to encode music use mencoder
[00:27] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob: Best to stick with the official repos, unless you like reinstalling
[00:27] <ozzloy> nickrud: my settings are gone, but the default ones are working.  logged out and back in, everything is well again
[00:28] <MI123645> hey guys, i have a problem installing ubuntu
[00:28] <kowito> ubotu: i'am a newbies
[00:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i'am a newbies - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:28] <Jack_Sparrow> kowito: ubotu is a bot.. automated message
[00:28] <xristian> he said somethin like gnu utils ... yada yada.. it is about encoding . anyones tried?
[00:28] <jacob> Jack_Sparrow: from the site, i want to download the Gizmo project
[00:28] <firpecmox> its n00b btw
[00:28] <kowito> hahaha
[00:29] <sizzam> MI123645: describe your problem :-)
[00:29] <MI123645> everything installs fine up to the point where it hits "running local boot scripts" and it freezes there
[00:29] <jacob> Jack_Sparrow: or just download it from another site?
[00:29] <MI123645> there is a blinking cursor nothing else
[00:29] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob: Never heard of gizmo so I dont know where to send you
[00:29] <MI123645> *but
[00:29] <jacob> Jack_Sparrow: what i 'm trying to get into is to download gizmo
[00:30] <firpecmox> has anyone used ubuntu as a HPC
[00:30] <jacob> Jack_Sparrow: ok , then, thx for you help anyways
[00:30] <graft> can anyone tell me why my LAN transfer rates (SSH over 802.11g, atheros drivers) are so slow (~230KB/s)?
[00:30] <asathoor> I have xubuntu on an old pc. It freezes randomly. Any suggestions on how to detect the hw defect?
[00:30] <_Johny> relapse, It never happened to me before, it might be a bug...
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob: Have you checked the oficial repos?  Do you know about apt-get , aptitude, synaptic?
[00:30] <firpecmox> asathoor: dont use a new desktop environment
[00:30] <jacob> Jack_Sparrow: ok, thx for the help, i'll take it from here
[00:31] <_Johny> !search log
[00:31] <ubotu> Found: logs-#ubuntuforums, tty, logs, ircmeetings, meetings, startup, channel logs, logo, irclogs, openweek
[00:31] <MI123645> so can anyone help me out with my "running local boot scripts problem"?
[00:31] <soundray> asathoor: the problem is most likely in the RAM. Run memtest86 for a few hours
[00:31] <jacob> Jack_Sparrow: i'll try the sypnatic manager but if not i'll risk downloading it from a different site (official site)
[00:31] <asathoor> firpecmox >> ok, which desktop should I use
[00:31] <_Johny> !logs|asathoor
[00:31] <ubotu> asathoor: Channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/
[00:31] <soundray> MI123645: which version of Ubuntu have you installed?
[00:31] <MI123645> 64-bit
[00:31] <jacob> Jack_Sparrow: if i'm doing something wrong, let me know cause i'm new to linux
[00:31] <soundray> MI123645: 7.10?
[00:32] <firpecmox> any good hpc software for ubuntu
[00:32] <MI123645> soundray: 64-bit ubuntu
[00:32] <Aintaer> Hey guys
[00:32] <MI123645> 7.10
[00:32] <_Johny> asathoor, Sorry, I was just about to give you some info on logs, are you familiar with that?
[00:32] <Aintaer> My sshd suddenly stopped responding
[00:32] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gizmo
[00:32] <Aintaer> any idea why?
[00:32] <Oli``> Emergency! How do I undelete files? fs is ext2
[00:32] <soundray> MI123645: have you got multiple hard disk drives?
[00:32] <Aintaer> Shorewall's got ssh ports open
[00:32] <asathoor> no
[00:32] <MI123645> soundray: yes, two SATA hard drives
[00:32] <Aintaer> netstat shows ssh as listening but under ipv6
[00:32] <asathoor> oh sorry -logs - yes
[00:32] <xristian> i have wav files. i need to make them mp3. i got SoundKonverter, but the option "to mp3" is not able yet- i know i truly need somethin from the synaptics library.. i cant just remember ..anyones heard about such a thing ?
[00:32] <sizzam> Aintaer: have you tried restarting it with '/etc/init.d/ssh restart'
[00:32] <graft> can anyone tell me why my LAN transfer rates (SSH over 802.11g, atheros drivers) are so slow (~230KB/s)?
[00:33] <firpecmox> xristian: use mencoder
[00:33] <kowito> ATI
[00:33] <asathoor> sizzam OK ill  try
[00:33] <jals> argh i've lost my title bars
[00:33] <graft> xristian: or lame
[00:33] <Aintaer> sizzam: Just did, still not responding
[00:33] <Narissa> Is anyone having an issue with the ATI drivers, putting up a distorted block in the lower right hand corner?
[00:33] <soundray> MI123645: any CD-ROM drives?
[00:33] <junkbox> I am see directories when looking through the gui, but when i drop to the command prompt and switch to the path the directories aren't listed there.  anyone have any idea why?
[00:33] <firpecmox> xristian: i think mencoder is better
[00:33] <xristian> yeah that was it ! lame what ?
[00:33] <Aintaer> I can ssh to localhost, but not to the ip
[00:33] <_Johny> xristian, Please can't you just use "google.com/linux" "wave to mp3", there are some more important questions here
[00:33] <Jack_Sparrow> lame encoder
[00:33] <MI123645> soundray: yes, two, but i use the second one for installing ubuntu
[00:33] <xristian> is it faster than lame ?
[00:33] <nickrud> xristian: I think all you need is lame (but if you add mencoder, soundkonverter will use it)
[00:34] <k31th> was ubuntu designed by its creator to make a profit ?
[00:34] <Jack_Sparrow> no
[00:34] <sizzam> Aintaer: but not to your router private ip?
[00:34] <firpecmox> xristian: i think it gives u more options
[00:34] <k31th> Jack_Sparrow: you talking to me
[00:34] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[00:34] <asathoor> Aintaer >> open a port in your router / firewall : default 22
[00:34] <soundray> MI123645: are they SATA too, or old-style parallel ATA?
[00:34] <NickPresta> Compiz is enabled on the LiveCD by default too, correct?
[00:34] <MI123645> PATA
[00:34] <Aintaer> asathoor: the firewall has the port open
[00:34] <lesterc> quickie - is 7.10 == gusty?
[00:34] <k31th> Jack_Sparrow: why do so many said that it was?
[00:34] <Jack_Sparrow> lesterc: yes
[00:34] <asathoor> and the router?
[00:34] <firpecmox> xristian: most gui that u install will run it through mencoder rather than lame
[00:34] <xristian> sounds good. i ll try both .. thnks
[00:34] <jals> sorry, back
[00:34] <lesterc> Jack_Sparrow:  ta.
[00:34] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[00:34] <MI123645> soundray: yes they are PATA
[00:34] <jals> so yeah my title bars are gone, any ideas?
[00:35] <sizzam> Aintaer: have you played with any firewall software in ubuntu that could have closed a port?
[00:35] <soundray> MI123645: what kind of mainboard is it?
[00:35] <Jack_Sparrow> k31th: No idea who said that...  but no money is changing hands here
[00:35] <Aintaer> Oh, problem found, dyndns wasn't updated.
[00:35] <MI123645> soundray: Asus P5K Premium
[00:35] <k31th> Jack_Sparrow: here?
[00:35] <sizzam> Aintaer: ahh, that'll do it :)
[00:35] <Aintaer> Thank you guys
[00:35] <Aintaer> :D stupid mistake, really
[00:35] <firpecmox> is it easy to get dyndns's updater to work in linux
[00:36] <Aintaer> It's installed on my machine
[00:36] <Narissa> The heart of Linux is by the people for the people essentially
[00:36] <Jack_Sparrow> k31th: The cd's are free from shipit, support is free, who is making money
[00:36] <Aintaer> I don't know when it updates
[00:36] <k31th> i dont mean this channel, i mean the distro in general
[00:36] <soundray> MI123645: does it have an ATI chipset?
[00:36] <Narissa> nope
[00:36] <k31th> Narissa: exactly.
[00:36] <MI123645> soundray: All i know is that it supports ATI crossfire
[00:36] <Jack_Sparrow> k31th: The answer is still  NO
[00:36] <abcent> MI123645: mine is P5K3 deluxe ... are your HDD's SATA or IDE? and lastly what is your CPU?
[00:37] <donkeyofdarkness> go buy a D975XBX2
[00:37] <donkeyofdarkness> now
[00:37] <donkeyofdarkness> it works good
[00:37] <MI123645> soundray: HDD, my CPU is a Core 2 duo E2160
[00:37] <k31th> oh i was just talking to some one on freenode today, and he claimed he didnt like ubuntu as its for n00bs and its founder created it to make money.
[00:37] <Narissa> Linux is the OS that doesn't require money to buy, the support is from teh community.  As I said before by the peopel for the people
[00:37] <MI123645> soundray: I mean SATA HDD
[00:37] <soundray> MI123645: okay. A system freeze at this early stage of booting is usually a chipset incompaitibilty that can be worked around with kernel boot options.
[00:37] <nickrud> k31th: the canonical company is supposed to make money, yes, selling support and the like
[00:37] <k31th> i always thought ubuntu cost him a massive loss.
[00:37] <Narissa> everyone has an opinion K31TH
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> k31th: Sour grapes from someone that dosen't know
[00:37] <donkeyofdarkness> the dude's rich
[00:38] <k31th> very rich :p
[00:38] <MI123645> soundray: How would i be able to open the kernel boot options?
[00:38] <k31th> but not from ubuntu lol
[00:38] <abcent> MI123645: I pondered about installing 64bit, and chose 32bit instead
[00:38] <donkeyofdarkness> nope
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> MI123645: F6
[00:38] <k31th> i wonder how he made his riches ?
[00:38] <nickrud> heck, what's wrong with for the n00b's and making money selling support to corp's?
[00:38] <soundray> MI123645: the most hopeful ones are noapic and nolapic -- but you may need to play with ide-related ones as well. Ubotu will send you a factoid about setting kernel boot options.
[00:38] <k31th> nickrud: nowt?
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> k31th: That is all off topic in this help channel..
[00:38] <MI123645> ok
[00:38] <soundray> !bootoptions > MI123645
[00:38] <Aintaer> Is there a way I can find out eth0's ip?
[00:38] <PriceChild> !offtopic
[00:38] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[00:38] <_Johny> MI123645, Or just "ESC" when GRUB prompts for it
[00:38] <nickrud> k31th: versign, I think it was, or one of those web auth certificate companies
[00:39] <k31th> Jack_Sparrow: okiedokie
[00:39] <k31th> nickrud: ahhh
[00:39] <pfwdtech> Im having some problems installing devede-3.3 it still at version 2.13 in synaptic is there any way i can get the newer version?
[00:39] <PriceChild> !offtopic | nickrud k31th
[00:39] <ubotu> nickrud k31th: please see above
[00:39] <bradv> Aintaer: ifconfig
[00:39] <franky123> hey i have a strange module problem. whenever i enable p4-clockmod on my toshiba laptop, my usb mouse will eventually randomly freeze. this never happens unless i modprobe p4-clockmod. any idea why?
[00:39] <jacob> is Gizmo a Voip protocol? and can i make FREE phone calls?
[00:39] <Aintaer> what's the f stand for in ifconfig?
[00:39] <nickrud> PriceChild: yes, I didn't see the earlier
[00:39] <MI123645> thanks soundray
[00:39] <soundray> MI123645: your issue is not likely related to your choice of a 64bit variant.
[00:39] <jacob> where i can make free phone calls without paying
[00:39] <PriceChild> Aintaer, "face" i think, as in "interface" but that's a complete guess
[00:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob: yes it is... but still beta
[00:39] <jacob> mic-computer to phone communication?
[00:39] <Narissa> My ATI seems to be periodically having a strange screen distortion on the lower right hand corner of my screen.  X restart fix's it, but I want to not see it happen.  Card is ATI
[00:40] <bradv> Aintaer: interface
[00:40] <MI123645> soundray: ok, ill put those commands in the boot options
[00:40] <PriceChild> nickrud, then no need to just get one last sentence out... and i don't need a reply either
[00:40] <asathoor> skype
[00:40] <r2d2> macd, fix my linux pls k thx
[00:40] <sizzam> jacob: gizmo does let you make phone calls over the internet, not sure of the prices
[00:40] <_Johny> Aintaer, if=interface ..maybe ;]
[00:40] <r2d2> macd, fix it NOW!!1
[00:40] <k31th> PriceChild: that didnt work, wats the name of the offtopic channel ?
[00:40] <soundray> MI123645: apart from the bootoptions, it may be helpful to check the BIOS setup for APIC-related config options
[00:40] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob: PC to PC free, but not PC to Land line
[00:40] <PriceChild> k31th, #ubuntu-offtopic... as ubotu has already told you
[00:40] <jacob> Jack_Sparrow: ah ok
[00:41] <Narissa> !reg
[00:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about reg - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:41] <jacob> Jack_Sparrow: like skype?
[00:41] <MI123645> do i have to turn off APIC settings?
[00:41] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob: yes
[00:41] <franky123> hey i have a strange module problem. whenever i enable p4-clockmod on my toshiba laptop, my usb mouse will eventually randomly freeze. this never happens unless i modprobe p4-clockmod. any idea why?
[00:41] <jacob> Jack_Sparrow: ok, thx
[00:41] <soundray> MI123645: it's worth experimenting with those
[00:41] <MI123645> ok
[00:41] <Jack_Sparrow> MI123645: I had to use F6 then noapic to get it to install
[00:41] <Templar> hi there - I have an old laptop with P3, 256 ram etc any chance I could install gusty or anything close on it do you think just for my dad to check his email
[00:41] <r2d2> macd, i need mor photoshopz in linux. i try to instal and it say "ERRAR!"
[00:41] <r2d2> fix it pls
[00:41] <r2d2> k thx
[00:42] <MI123645> ok, thanks guys
[00:42] <nickrud> Templar: you should try xubuntu, he can run thunderbird or firefox easily on that
[00:42] <Narissa> Templar: I wouldn't see why not
[00:42] <Telemachus> going for a reinstall, dont want to use automatic partioner..i did this before, im going to have 3 partitions, / , /home, /swap - i have 20GB to play with, whats my best combination? I recall someone saying before, swp should be double the ram, etc any pointers appreciated..
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Templar: Does it have onboard video sharing that ram?
[00:42] <amir_> Can anyone help me with Windows Mobile syncing?
[00:42] <Templar> 16mb video
[00:42] <Templar> i think
[00:42] <r2d2> macd, how do i get to level 3 in linux?
[00:42] <Templar> what is xubuntu
[00:42] <PriceChild> !guidelines | r2d2
[00:42] <ubotu> r2d2: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Templar: But is it shared.. ie using part of that 256
[00:42] <_Johny> r2d2, "sudo init 3"?
[00:43] <Templar> no
[00:43] <nickrud> Telemachus: roughly 2x ram up to 1.5 or 2, and 7 for the / if you plan on installing a lot, 5g if not
[00:43] <soundray> Telemachus: double RAM only applies if you have 256MB or less. If you have more, take RAM*1
[00:43] <r2d2> lol
[00:43] <Templar> ati i think
[00:43] <Narissa> Templar: It's Ubuntu but it uses X
[00:43] <r2d2> xfce
[00:43] <PriceChild> Narissa, xfce, all the buntus use X
[00:43] <Narissa> 8) tyvm r2d2
[00:43] <nickrud> Templar: it's a lighter window manager, many think it's windows like enough for people who just want the basics
[00:43] <Narissa> I got distracted and cut myself short with the enter button LOL
[00:43] <Telemachus> thanks guys
[00:43] <Narissa> keyboard error there 8)
[00:43] <donkeyofdarkness> ubuntu server does not use x
[00:43] <nickrud> no it uses X
[00:44] <Templar> cheers nickrud - that will do him fine
[00:44] <windego40> can someone help me mount my ipod?
[00:44] <Templar> its just thunderbird and firefox and open office he needs
[00:44] <Narissa> Templar: there should be no problem with that at all
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Templar: Try a copy of feisty or dapper  .. Daper has lts
[00:45] <nickrud> Templar: as long as he only opens firefox or thunderbird and openoffice, he should be fine :)
[00:45] <donkeyofdarkness> damn small linux
[00:45] <sizzam> windego40: have you tried gtkpod
[00:45] <donkeyofdarkness> or dsl-n
[00:45] <windego40> sizza: thats like amarok right?
[00:46] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu dapper on 256 didn't cut it (for me, anyway), that was when I finally upgraded machines
[00:46] <sizzam> windego40: its an app specifically for managing an ipod,  you can mount it from the file menu (i think) in that program
[00:46] <daedra> it appears that the latest iTunes update in Windows has block my version of gtkpod from loading the mounted iPod correctly - any help?
[00:46] <daedra> ooh sizzam, appears that you're talking about what I need
[00:46] <donkeyofdarkness> I used to run ubuntu fine with 128
[00:46] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: 256 is marginal.. especially when sharing video
[00:46] <windego40> cool
[00:46]  * nickrud _will_ stay on topic
[00:46] <windego40> ill try it
[00:46] <sizzam> daedra: ya, but its been a long time since i've used gtkpod, not sure of how to fix that problem
[00:47] <sizzam> windego40: sudo apt-get install gtkpod to install it
[00:47] <daedra> sizzam: what is an alternative
[00:47] <daedra> gtkpod rock(ed)
[00:47] <sizzam> daedra: to be honest, i always ditched ipod's OS and put rockbox on instead
[00:47] <amir_> Is there a good contact management software similar to ACT!?
[00:47] <acoster> Hi. Is anyone here using madwifi + kismet on Gutsy?
[00:47] <nickrud> amir_: no
[00:47] <donkeyofdarkness> hmm
[00:47] <asathoor> which log file shows hw problems?
[00:47] <daedra> sizzam: it's a 5.5G, so rockbox is out
[00:47] <donkeyofdarkness> I remember act
[00:47] <mneptok> amir_: http://www.salesforce.com
[00:48] <donkeyofdarkness> I used it back on windows95
[00:48] <amir_> i downloaded korganizer
[00:48] <sizzam> daedra: darn,  can't think of any alternatives
[00:48] <nickrud> windows 286 here
[00:48] <daedra> rockbox eats battery life too!
[00:48] <amir_> Just something where I can keep contacts and notes of each contact.
[00:48] <nickrud> amir_: evolution has an address book, but that's about it as far as i know
[00:48] <Jack_Sparrow> amir_: check evolution
[00:48] <donkeyofdarkness> Kontact
[00:49] <Narissa> ./nod Kontact
[00:49] <donkeyofdarkness> http://kontact.kde.org/
[00:49] <amir_> yeah like evolution but bigger size notes where like in ACT i can clikc "Add Note" and stuff..
[00:49] <donkeyofdarkness> maybe run act under wine
[00:49] <daedra> i have lost faith in linux!
[00:50] <nickrud> faith doesn't belong in software
[00:50] <soundray> daedra: rockbox isn't linux
[00:50] <asathoor> daedra >> what's the problem?
[00:50] <Jack_Sparrow> daedra: You need to lose faith in itunes and other propietary software
[00:50] <ztomic> anybody good with debian packaging and scripts in them? I want to make a script to install data from a cdrom when the package is installed.
[00:50] <amir_> okay id love to the only problem is it's saying a bunch of stuff about ActiveX and .net Framework..
[00:50] <HackXP> I can connect fine to my dsl wireless using ubuntu.  I made a little connect script...but i enabled wpa security on it through windows, and now i can't ubuntu to connect...
[00:50] <Aintaer> Okay ddclient keeps updating my ip to the wrong ip
[00:50] <Narissa> Jack_Sparrow: Amen
[00:50] <amir_> How can i install these in wine?
[00:50] <donkeyofdarkness> first..
[00:51] <Jack_Sparrow> daedra: You said yourself it worked fine UNTIL itunes updated
[00:51] <donkeyofdarkness> sudo apt-get install wine
[00:51] <daedra> Jack_Sparrow: yeah sorry
[00:51] <soundray> !enter | donkeyofdarkness
[00:51] <ubotu> donkeyofdarkness: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[00:51] <_wall> hi
[00:51] <daedra> iTunes sucks :(
[00:51] <nickrud> amir_: find an older version of act, maybe
[00:51] <donkeyofdarkness> then wine /path/to/windows/executable
[00:51] <HackXP> Not sure in the connect script if I can put in the wpa password somewhere..
[00:51] <amir_> donkey you talking to me?
[00:51] <HackXP> ./connect belkin54g wpapass (this doesn't work)
[00:51] <mneptok> HackXP: what are you trying to accomplish?
[00:52] <donkeyofdarkness> I also like to install wine-doors because it installs some extra windows stuff
[00:52] <alber1> i made a group called firefox then, sudo chown :firefox /usr/bin/firefox, but chown doesn't have any effect... why is this?
[00:52] <donkeyofdarkness> yes
[00:52] <nickrud> itunes intentionally broke third party access to the new ones, did they hack back at the older ones too?
[00:52] <_Johny> asathoor, Take a look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxLogFiles
[00:52] <HackXP> mneptok, I am trying to connect to the internet with my wireless connection...which worked fine until i enabled wpa protection.
[00:52] <mneptok> alber1: there's no need to change permissions of firfefox files
[00:52] <mneptok> HackXP: static? DHCP? what?
[00:52] <Kde4> hi all
[00:52] <HackXP> mneptok, dhcp.
[00:52] <alber1> mneptok: there is cuz i only want a certain group to have web browser access
[00:52] <_Johny> Kde4, Hi
[00:52] <donkeyofdarkness> http://www.wine-doors.org/
[00:53] <ztomic> Where is a good place to learn script tricks like detecting files on cdrom?
[00:53] <Kde4> i install kde4 but i dont see it under gdm session, how can i add or start kde4 beta4 ?
[00:53] <HackXP> mneptok, If I disable security on the wireless modem..ubuntu connects fine...when i enable it..it can't connect...
[00:53] <mneptok> HackXP: will this machine use other networks? ever?
[00:53] <asathoor> ztomic >> ls -a
[00:53] <HackXP> mneptok, I run winxp and ubuntu.
[00:53] <Kde4> _Johny, any idea?
[00:53] <mneptok> HackXP: will this machine use other networks? ever?
[00:53] <HackXP> mneptok, no
[00:53] <_Johny> Kde4, nope
[00:53] <alber1> can anyone chown the group on /usr/bin/firefox? lol
[00:53] <ztomic> asathoor: hehe
[00:54] <donkeyofdarkness> prolly
[00:54] <jacob> does ubuntu support wpa wireless encryyption connections?
[00:54] <donkeyofdarkness> yes
[00:54] <Narissa> absolutly
[00:54] <Xenguy> alber1: I don't know why you'd want to, but man chgrp   ?
[00:54] <donkeyofdarkness> depends on the driver
[00:54] <mneptok> HackXP: so you want WPA authentication to only one wireless network, and the machine will only ever connect to that network. it will never change its connection. correct?
[00:54] <sizzam> jacob: yes, wep, wpa
[00:54] <dissection> jacob: Yes it does.
[00:54] <soundray> alber1: it's a link. chmod doesn't work on links.
[00:54] <_Johny> Kde4, There this support channel with a lot of nice people #kde
[00:54] <daedra> alber1: I can thinkof another way of solving your problem
[00:54] <soundray> alber1: (I mean symbolic links)
[00:54] <Kde4> _Johny, u right , but i thought it easer here
[00:54] <daedra> just add firefox to the group in the big group file
[00:54] <jacob> ubuntu version 6.10, i suppose that it didn't
[00:54] <Kde4> since i use ubuntu
[00:55] <HackXP> mneptok, Yes. The only reason I placed the wpa protection is to prevent my neighbors from using the wireless modem.
[00:55] <mneptok> Kde4: this channel is not for KDE beta questions
[00:55] <jacob> i have a book on ubuntu that dates up to version 6.10
[00:55] <_Johny> Kde4, Maybe #Kubuntu can be a help
[00:55] <soundray> alber1: what's the problem?
[00:55] <alber1> xenguy: chgrp also had no affect
[00:55] <sizzam> jacob: right, 6.10 didn't
[00:55] <soundray> alber1: are you reading me?
[00:55] <alber1> soundray: i can't change group ownership of /usr/bin/firefox
[00:55] <Kde4> mneptok, i know
[00:55] <Xenguy> alber1: what the other fellow said then
[00:55] <_Johny> Kde4, Ubuntu is using GNOME by default, I don't know whether anyone tried KDE 4 here :(
[00:55] <alber1> lol
[00:55] <alber1> ok sec
[00:55] <mneptok> HackXP: you want to use wpa-supplicant to generate a hashed passphrane file, then call that from /etc/network/interfaces
[00:55] <AngryElf_> does anyone now how to make my regular (analog) sound go out my digital output (SPDIF) ???
[00:55] <jacob> is it true about dell selling computers with ubuntu?
[00:55] <soundray> alber1: I told you, it's a symlink. Why do you want to change it?
[00:56] <renevannt> so why ubuntu over archlinux?
[00:56] <renevannt> I cant see why?
[00:56] <ztomic> you guys aren't very much help. Wheres the dev channel?
[00:56] <Kde4> _Johny, :) ok ill ask on kde
[00:56] <sizzam> jacob: yep, there are other vendors too, like system76.com for example
[00:56] <donkeyofdarkness> http://dell.com/ubuntu
[00:56] <Narissa> ztomic: what was teh question?
[00:56] <_Johny> Kde4, Give it a try as it's a nice channel
[00:56] <HackXP> mneptok, explain a little more, i am still learning this linux stuff.
[00:57] <soundray> renevannt: that's not a support question. Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:57] <ztomic> Narissa: 1) anybody good with debian packaging and scripts in them? I want to make a script to install data from a cdrom when the package is installed.
[00:57] <ztomic> Narissa: 2) Where is a good place to learn script tricks like detecting files on cdrom?
[00:57] <jacob> ok, now somebody let me know, i'm new to linux, what is wine-doors?
[00:58]  * _Johny neither knows
[00:58] <jacob> that lets me install windows applications in linux?
[00:58] <sizzam> jacob: right, wine is a compatibility layer that lets you run some windows apps in linux
[00:58] <sizzam> jacob: wine-doors is built on top of that, you can get more info on it here:  http://www.wine-doors.org/wordpress/?page_id=2
[00:58] <_Johny> jacob, I suppose It's a set of preconfigured applications, just ready to be installed and launched with wine
[00:58] <donkeyofdarkness> and installs some things for you
[00:58] <jacob> are there two wines?
[00:59] <donkeyofdarkness> no
[00:59] <jacob> wine and wine-doors or is is just one?
[00:59] <_Johny> jacob, No
[00:59] <donkeyofdarkness> install both
[00:59] <sizzam> jacob: wine is one thing, other things use wine as a base
[00:59] <Terrance> I neet help setting up my Sprint Pantech card to connecto to the internet
[00:59] <_Johny> jacob, Just give it a try -:)
[00:59] <donkeyofdarkness> google's apps use wine
[00:59] <windego40> i cant figure out gtkpod....can someone tell me how to include host in this command, i think its all i need left to do?       sshfs root@<iphone's ip address>:/var/root/Media/ /media/ipod/
[00:59] <Narissa> ztomic: alright for 1. what kind of script are you trying to run, as n what OS do you want to gear this twords.  for 2. what kind of scripting are you looking for
[00:59] <jacob> ok, so wine and wine-doors are different, but much of the basic coding?
[01:00] <alber1> soundray/xenguy: i can change the group owner on /usr/lib/firefox which has the desired effect... except now when i run the shortcut from the gnome panel it no longer says "permission denied" it simply times out and does nothing with no error :(
[01:00] <amir_> doneky i just ran Wine-Doors, its building something.. does that mean its installing all the activex/.net framework things?
[01:00] <Narissa> I prefer wine and download winexs, just to make my life easier
[01:00] <ztomic> Narissa: both related. are you familiar with debian package scripts?
[01:00] <soundray> alber1: what was the original problem you were trying to solve?
[01:00] <_Johny> windego40, What's your problem precisely?
[01:00] <Narissa> ztomic: fairly
[01:00] <donkeyofdarkness> he first time wine-doors is executed it will build up a basic wine-drive. Currently this includes installing the most important of the microsoft corefonts, winegecko and mozilla activex control. Only one non-free component is included visual C++ runtime.
[01:00] <jacob> what's a wine that will install office 2003?
[01:01] <Narissa> jacob: the newest will do it
[01:01] <jacob> wine or wine-door?
[01:01] <donkeyofdarkness> so will crossover office
[01:01] <_Johny> Would it have any sense?
[01:01] <Narissa> jacob: both will so will crossover
[01:01] <windego40> im trying to mount my ipod from a forums im reading but whenever i enter this command "sshfs root@<iphone's ip address>:/var/root/Media/ /media/ipod/" its says missing host
[01:02] <bradv> windego40: can you ping the host?
[01:02] <jacob> Narissa: i tried wine, everything seemed fine upon installation, but i could find it in the directory of wine
[01:02] <_Johny> windego40, Are u trying to do it by in remote?
[01:02] <alber1> soundray: i want to limit who can and can't run firefox.  ive done this by adding firefox to a group
[01:02] <Narissa> jacob: /home/*user*/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/*.* should be somewhere in tehre
[01:02] <windego40> whats ping and remote? sorry im a little new to this
[01:02] <randorfer> hey anyone tried installing kde4 on vanilla ubuntu (not kubuntu) yet and feel like giving me a heads up on how to do it?
[01:02] <jacob> Narissa: i did, but it's empty
[01:02] <bradv> alber1: Just change the group then, not the user.
[01:03] <Terrance> where can i get information about how to set up my wireless card is a pantech card and de ISP is Sprint
[01:03] <ztomic> Narissa: I want to include a script to copy data that is on cd  in a deb package. I think it would be prerem.
[01:03] <alber1> bradv: i did :)
[01:03] <_Johny> windego40, What did you mean by saying you're trying to mount your ipod from the forums?
[01:03] <Bensel> Anyone have any idea why Ubuntu would be blocking FTP connections to this PC?
[01:03] <alber1> bradv: i can't change group owner on the symlink, so i have to change it on the app, but then the shortcut in the menu doesn't give a clean error "permission denied" instead it just times out which is bad user experience
[01:03] <windego40> or im just reading it and doing what it says
[01:03] <Narissa> jacob: are you ont he right user account
[01:03] <jacob> Narissa: yes
[01:03] <jnb> what is the command to open a file?
[01:03] <Bensel> I've just finished configuring my sixth FTP server, so I'm about certain it's Ubuntu's fault now.
[01:03] <kazol3> jnb: What type?
[01:04] <soundray> jnb: gnome-open
[01:04] <jnb> kazol3, .conf
[01:04] <jacob> Narissa, but i updated my operatings system to 7.10 freshly
[01:04] <ztomic> Narissa: the data is big (video and audio), and copyrighted material. So I dont want it to be in the package.
[01:04] <sizzam> Terrance: see if this article helps:  http://www.raincitystory.com/wp/2007/05/31/pantech-px-500-evdo-rev-a-card-on-linux/#comments
[01:04] <jacob> Narissa, i don't have those files anymore
[01:04] <randorfer> jnb:  nano *.conf
[01:04] <AngryElf_> does anyone now how to make my regular (analog) sound go out my digital output (SPDIF) ???
[01:04] <kazol3> jnb: Is it a system file?
[01:04] <Terrance> sizzam 10x
[01:04] <bradv> alber1: You could replace the symlink with a shell script: #!/bin/sh; /usr/lib/firefox-bin
[01:04] <Bensel> No matter which one I choose, I can't get incoming connections, but it works perfectly on Windows.
[01:04] <windego40> _Johny: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone im using that guide
[01:04] <kazol3> jnb: "gksudo gedit" is another option.
[01:04] <Narissa> ztomic: why not just go the more direct route with an autorun style script as a preempt, give conditions based on super user access to begin with.
[01:04] <alber1> bradv: hmm interesting idea...
[01:04] <jnb> thanks, both of you
[01:05] <bradv> alber1: If you give that 770 access then gksu will fail cleanly.
[01:05] <jnb> i'm trying to get compiz to work with my new 8.42.3 drivers
[01:05] <Narissa> jacob: it still should be there
[01:05] <ztomic> Narissa: Ok. I don't know how to do that but it sounds acceptable.
[01:05] <Narissa> anyone on jacobs end, his data should be there
[01:05] <RISKA> ;KK;
[01:06] <asathoor> anyone with a good idea on how to detect a hw problem..?
[01:06] <randorfer> hey anyone tried installing kde4 on vanilla ubuntu (not kubuntu) yet and feel like giving me a heads up on how to do it?
[01:06] <jacob> Narissa, i freshly installed ubuntu, i didn't get the upgrade online
[01:06] <alber1> bradv: yeah, the bash thing might work only problem with that is what happens when you try and update firefox
[01:06] <kazol3> I just used ndiswrapper instead of bcm43xx-fwcutter and it works MUCH greater!! Please suggest all users installing Broadcom wifi cards to use ndiswrapper instead of the default Ubuntu Restricted Package Manager.
[01:06] <soundray> asathoor: what was the problem with my advice?
[01:06] <Narissa> ztomic: build a cd gui right, set conditional commands to install everything like that, give user access instead of autoinstall
[01:06] <jacob> Narissa, the files are no longer there
[01:06] <mneptok> randorfer: this channel is not for KDE beta questions
[01:06] <gilbert> holaalguien habla español
[01:06] <bradv> alber1: Firefox updates itself without using apt, so it shouldn't touch the symlinks.
[01:06] <asathoor> soundray >> perhaps I missed your answr
[01:06] <Narissa> jacob: then you shoudl have to reinstall if you sis a fresh, data was more than likely removed
[01:06] <randorfer> mneptok:  fyi kde is rc status not beta anymore
[01:06] <mneptok> !es > gilbert
[01:06] <jacob> Narissa, i tried to install office 2003 a couple of times (2 or 3 times) and still doesn't work
[01:07] <kazol3> !es | gilbert
[01:07] <ubotu> gilbert: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda.
[01:07] <alber1> bradv: ok that's good to know then...
[01:07] <graelin> what is a convnient way to search a file in Ubuntu?
[01:07] <mneptok> randorfer: it is not in any Ubuntu release.
[01:07] <soundray> asathoor: the problem is most likely in the RAM. Run memtest86 for a few hours
[01:07] <Narissa> jacob: one sec let me check
[01:07] <mneptok> randorfer: hence, it is not appropriate here
[01:07] <jacob> Narissa ok
[01:07] <asathoor> ok, thanx - I'll try
[01:07] <anzan> !botsnack
[01:07] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[01:07] <soundray> asathoor: do read the channel when you've asked a question
[01:07] <kazol3> graelin: Using the GUI, there should be an icon on the top panel with an orange magnifying glass over a computer screen.
[01:08] <asathoor> soundray >> sorry
[01:08] <kazol3> graelin: Or (a less convenient way) you could click Places...Search For Files.
[01:08] <ztomic> Narissa: I'm sorry. I get you but I am gonna need a lot of help doing that. I have thought about this a lot. I even tried to find some way to do an autorun but I simply don't know how. Is there an example on the internet that you know of or perhaps a pastebin?
[01:08] <soundray> asathoor: did you get it this time?
[01:08] <Narissa> jacob: http://frankscorner.org
[01:08] <asathoor> soundray >> yep, thanx - and trying...
[01:08] <gilbert_> tampico
[01:09] <asathoor> :)
[01:09] <graelin> thanks.. I'n looking for input.h header file.. not sure where that would be though.. used to slackware
[01:09] <Aintaer> does ddclient default its config file to /etc/ddclient.conf?
[01:09] <soundray> asathoor: if it runs without errors, it's best to leave it overnight at least.
[01:09] <_Johny> windego40, Did you put the IP adress?
[01:09] <Narissa> jacob: the instructions should be the same, I recently just installed 2007 the same way and it works
[01:10] <asathoor> ok
[01:10] <windego40> _Johny: yeah i put everything it says but it says im missing host and dont know how to add that into the command
[01:10] <Bensel> Anyone have any idea why Ubuntu would be blocking FTP connections to this PC?
[01:10] <Aintaer> how do I clear the dns cache?
[01:10] <bradv> windego40: What is the IP address? Did you put that in the command?
[01:10] <Narissa> ztomic: www.cdmenupro.com they talk about the functionality and hwo most of the autorun.inf files work
[01:11] <jacob> Narissa: do you know the difference between wine-doors and wine?
[01:11] <Narissa> jacob: besides the handy ui and some of the dev files, it's about the same
[01:12] <windego40> 192.168.2.9 and yeah i put it in the "root@<ip address>
[01:12] <noelferreira> is there any jre for amd64 with java plugin to put in ~/firefox/plugins/ folder'
[01:12] <noelferreira> ?
[01:12] <ztomic> Narissa: oh heck! I didn't know autrun.inf would work.
[01:12] <Narissa> ztomic: here you go found something for you  http://www.cryer.co.uk/brian/windows/howtocacdtwarahfm.htm  there is a link tthere that helps you
[01:12] <soundray> Bensel: you may have set firewall rules. Check with 'sudo iptables -L' -- how many lines of output do you get?
[01:12] <Narissa> ztomic: absolutly
[01:12] <bradv> windego40: And I asked you earlier if you could ping that address. Can you?
[01:12] <ztomic> Narissa: thanx, thats a lot of help.
[01:12] <Narissa> ztomic: in fact you can build an html interface easily and run the commands like that
[01:13] <_Johny> windego40, I'd try "man sshfs|grep -i host" So you can see what's the host in the command meaning
[01:13] <windego40> bradv: i dont know how i would do that
[01:13] <zach__> anyone else experience problems with shut down not fully shutting down?
[01:13] <bradv> windego40: Just use the ping command in a terminal: ping 192.168.2.9
[01:13] <Bensel> soundray: 6
[01:13] <Narissa> zach_: only when I use windows 8)
[01:13] <Bensel> Well, 8.
[01:14] <Bensel> Including blank lines.
[01:14] <windego40> ok
[01:14] <soundray> Bensel: it's not that then -- this is the default setup.
[01:14] <soundray> Bensel: which ftp daemon have you installed?
[01:14] <zach__> Narissa, I've experienced it with both xubuntu and ubuntu
[01:14] <windego40> bradv: what that do? i ran it and its doing something
[01:14] <dissection> Can I have libshout2 and libshout3 both at the same time? libshout3 is not there in the repositories.
[01:14] <Bensel> Currently pureftpd
[01:14] <zach__> Narissa, so um... yeah
[01:14] <Bensel> But I've tried bunches over the last week.
[01:15] <noelferreira> ?
[01:15] <soundray> Bensel: what do you get when you try to connect?
[01:15] <_Johny> windego40, No, no man for that. Can you just paste the entire command, just as you put it?
[01:15] <noelferreira> is there any jre for amd64 with java plugin to put in ~/firefox/plugins/ folder'
[01:15] <ztomic> Narissa: I looked at the debian CD's and autrun.inf seemed geared toward windows so i didn't realize it would work on linux.
[01:15] <bradv> windego40: If you want to know what a command does and how to use it, enter man ping in the terminal.
[01:15] <Narissa> zach_: sorry for the synicism, so your shutting down and it halts
[01:15] <ztomic> Ubuntu rather
[01:15] <ztomic> Narissa: thanx again
[01:15] <Bensel> soundray: From elsewhere, a timeout; from the same machine, connection as expected.
[01:15] <Narissa> ztomic: absolutly, no problem 8) goo dluck to you bud.
[01:15] <jacob> i have concerns about PBASIC stamp editor, does anybody have PBASIC Stamp Editor in there linux system?
[01:15] <_Johny> bradv, He's just a begginer..
[01:15] <zach__> Narissa, it goes through shut down but hangs and never powers down
[01:16] <soundray> Bensel: is "elsewhere" on the LAN or on the internet?
[01:16] <Bensel> On the Internet.
[01:16] <bradv> _johny: I didn't mean to bite him. I'm trying to teach him to fish. ;)
[01:16] <Narissa> zach_: we talking laptop or desktop?
[01:16] <soundray> Bensel: have you set up incoming port forwarding on the router?
[01:16] <jacob> ...i want to know if i can program my code and then be able to transfer the code from the linux machine to my Stamp chip (EEPROM memory) (chips for electrical enginners)
[01:16] <ztomic> Narissa: this way, I can make it work on windows too... I think?
[01:16] <ztomic> hehe
[01:17] <_Johny> windego40, If you don't know what a given command mean, put "whatis <command>", that's should be shorter and easier
[01:17] <Bensel> soundray: Yup. FTP daemon stuff works perfectly on Windows.
[01:17] <Narissa> ztomic: so long as you are explicit enough with yoru conditions, absolutly
[01:17] <Altu60> is there a way I can start aviant window manager on startup?
[01:17] <Bensel> (but running the same FTP daemon using wine doesn't.)
[01:17] <ztomic> Narissa: time to work.
[01:17] <windego40> sshfs root@192.168.2.9 /var/root/Media/ /media/ipod/
[01:17] <_Johny> Altu60, Just adding it to the gnome-session aplet?
[01:18] <windego40> and ok thanks for the tips i really want to learn how to use linux extensively with commands
[01:18] <zach__> Narissa, laptop dell inspiron e1505
[01:18] <soundray> Bensel: apparently you've checked all the things that I can think of. Sorry I haven't been helpful.
[01:18] <jacob> never mind, i found my answer
[01:18] <Bensel> Thanks for trying, soundray :)
[01:19] <zach__> Narissa, I'm also having trouble tracking down the exact config I need to change so I can stop typing "sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda" on every boot
[01:19] <Narissa> zach_: okay, so it goes through the shutdown, and appears to have completed yet doesn,'t autopower off.  Let me think about the last part
[01:20] <nosmofui> can anyone help me to create a script to download files with wget
[01:20] <Aintaer> can somebody ping aielone.servegame.org and tell me what IP they're getting?
[01:20] <Lounge> there's something really strange with linux-image-2.6.22-14-386. it's reading the cpu as only one processor - missing a core
[01:20] <Lounge> any1 else have this issue?
[01:20] <soundray> nosmofui: do you know about wget -i ?
[01:20] <nosmofui> mm nop
[01:21] <salah> Hello. I installed mscorefonts to get some microsoft fonts for viewing at web. Now is the monospace font totally screwed up, and that's what I use as default for Ubuntu. And the package fails to remove. Any idea how I can get my default fonts back?
[01:21] <Bensel> Aintaer: 69.202.90.61
[01:21] <soundray> nosmofui: it takes a file as input that contains a list of URLs, which will be downloaded in turn. Would that be applicable to your problem?
[01:21] <ouellettesr> hello what option do I use with rmdir if the dir is not empty?
[01:21] <Aintaer> Bensel: thanks
[01:21] <Bensel> np
[01:21] <nosmofui> yes
[01:22] <_Johny> windego40, try this way ;  sshfs root@192.168.2.9:/var/root/Media/ /media/ipod/
[01:22] <peterbilt> ouellettesr: rm -rf
[01:22] <ouellettesr> thanks peterbilt
[01:22] <noelferreira> is there any jre for amd64 with java plugin to put in ~/firefox/plugins/ folder'
[01:22] <zach__> ouellettesr, just be careful with that command
[01:22] <nosmofui> i create a list... then i call ot form wget??
[01:22] <soundray> ouellettesr: use rm -r instead
[01:22] <zach__> ouellettesr, you throw a sudo on the start and a slash on the end... you've destroyed your file system
[01:23] <mneptok> noelferreira: sudo apt-get install icedtea-java7-plugin
[01:23] <windego40> _Johny: its doing doing that ping thing
[01:23] <ouellettesr> thanks zach__
[01:23] <peterbilt> ouellettesr: yes, be cautious
[01:23] <dinkle> hey i installed awn and i can no longer access my compiz fusion settings help??
[01:23] <ouellettesr> OK SOUDRAY
[01:23] <soundray> nosmofui: you create a list of URLs in file 'url-list', then you call 'wget -i url-list'
[01:23] <Narissa> zach_: well I cannot recall the device loading file, though sda1 shouldn't be causing that much of an issue, unless you actually do have the drive, so far as teh power down, have you checked your bios as well as your power settings in ubuntu?
[01:23] <Girf> Hey, I get an error on Ubuntu 6.10 startup, and can't figure out the problem
[01:23] <Girf> "Cannot Allocate Resource Region 7 on bridge 0000:00:04:00" and the same on resource region 8
[01:23] <noelferreira> mneptok, i instaled it but i couldn't find the java lib file. where is it?
[01:23] <_Johny> windego40, Does the error pop up  anymore?
[01:24] <CADF> Hi. I've got a bit of a problem.. every time a program opens a file browser dialog, it crashes. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
[01:24] <soundray> nosmofui: 'man wget' reveals such secrets
[01:24] <nosmofui> im reading that
[01:24] <nosmofui> ok
[01:24]  * N3bunel away
[01:24] <CADF> This doesn't seem to effect KDE applications.
[01:25] <ouellettesr> any reason why I get this error? kevin@railcar:~$ rm -rf gallery2
[01:25] <ouellettesr> rm: cannot chdir from `.' to `gallery2': Permission denied
[01:25] <dinkle> anyone? i tried reinstalling compiz but still cant get it
[01:25] <salah> Or, how do I remove a broken package?
[01:25] <zach__> Narissa, I wouldn't even know where to start
[01:25] <sFEARs> dpkg --autoclean?
[01:25] <_Johny> Girf, It seems to be a communicate from kernel. Try sudo grep [the error] /var/log/kernel
[01:25] <Girf> Thing is I can't get into the OS at all
[01:25] <Narissa> zach_: alright let's start with linux then.  What Gui are you using KDe, Gnome, XFCE, Fluxbox, Blackbox?
[01:25] <windego40> _Johny: it hasnt stopped that ping command i ran
[01:26] <Girf> It hits that error, continues, then goes to a black screen and stays there
[01:26] <Narissa> brb
[01:26] <zach__> Narissa, I'm using a fresh install of xubuntu
[01:26] <zach__> Narissa, xfce
[01:26]  * Narissa is AWAY at 20:26:19 : Not behind the keyboard
[01:26] <_Johny> windego40, look, I found this http://blog.adaniels.nl/?p=50
[01:26] <jedix> I need help getting a printer working in gusty
[01:26] <sFEARs> when i boot up i have a link to my windows partition that shows up on the desktop.. how do i disable that?
[01:26] <soundray> Girf: I don't think the two problems are related. Is this a fresh install, or was it working previously?
[01:26] <ouellettesr> windego40: you didn't pecify how many times to ping it, hit ctrl+c
[01:26] <sFEARs> i see it in fstab... but i don't think i wanna delete that line
[01:27] <Girf> It's a fresh install, and the same exact problem happened when I installed Kubuntu
[01:27] <jedix> can someone help me with a usb printer issue? cups is saying things are printing, but they aren't... the data light on my printer never blinks
[01:27] <_Johny> Girf, What's your Graphic Card?
[01:27] <soundray> Girf: have you tried a more recent version? 7.10 would be current...
[01:27] <sFEARs> Girf... have you tried booting up using a different kernel
[01:27] <Girf> Meant to say 7.10, sorry
[01:27] <sFEARs> my laptop won't boot using the real time kernel.. gets stuck half way thru the startup splash
[01:27] <Girf> _Johny: A crap ATI integrated laptop card
[01:27]  * Narissa is back after 0 d 0 h 1 m 39 s
[01:28] <dinkle> or maybe point me in the right direction?
[01:28] <Girf> ATI Radeon XPress 200+
[01:28] <jacob> wine and winehq are the same?
[01:28] <_Johny> not so bad
[01:28] <Narissa> jacob: yup
[01:28] <soundray> Girf: that one works reasonably well with the opensource driver -- usually
[01:28] <MI123645> hey again
[01:28] <jedix> so.... anyone have any help for my printing issues?
[01:28] <soundray> Girf: can you get to a text console with Ctrl-Alt-F2 ?
[01:28] <jedix> please
[01:29] <jedix> it's driving me nuts
[01:29] <windego40> ouelettesr: thanks
[01:29] <sledgehammer> how do i fix compiz-fusion so when I enable it I get my window's borders??
[01:29] <jedix> it works on my laptop.. that isn't up to date
[01:29] <Girf> soundray: I doubt it, but I can try
[01:29] <MI123645> soundray: I turned off ACPI but i got another error message
[01:29] <windego40> _Johny: ok ill try what it says
[01:29] <Girf> I've been able to install Edgy Eft sucesfully on this laptop previously
[01:29] <soundray> MI123645: did you turn of ACPI or APIC? Major difference...
[01:29] <_Johny> Girf, Try [sudo grep \(E) /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:29] <slliness> hello
[01:30] <sFEARs> hi
[01:30] <Girf> Kay, I gotta go reboot to see if I can get to a console
[01:30] <soundray> Girf: hold on...
[01:30] <jedix> haha
[01:30] <MI123645> soundray: i did noacpi and nolapic together
[01:30] <soundray> MI123645: noacpi is pointless. It's got to be noapic
[01:30] <Narissa> zach_: so you are using XFCE.  I am normally better with KDE but I think I can wing it.  try sudo xfce-power-manager in a terminal and make sure your settings are good there.  I had to turn off the power saving stuff to get my laptop streamline myself
[01:30] <jedix> can someone please help me with my printer?
[01:30] <slliness> how is ati drivers installation in gutsy is ati still rdiculas or no
[01:30] <MI123645> soundray: ok ill try noapic
[01:31] <CADF> Hi. Whenever a Gnome application opens a file picker dialog, it closes instantly. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
[01:31] <Narissa> slliness: you can use a program called Envy to make that install much easier
[01:31] <shadeofgrey> cabn anybody here htell me if Ubuntu's Nvidia drivers can now sustain a 8800 Ultra card and something as large as a 30" Screen?
[01:31] <nosmofui> thanks soundray.. works perfectly
[01:31] <slliness> s/rdiculas/ridiculas
[01:31] <slliness> Narissa, works good?
[01:31] <databuddy> zomg
[01:31] <_Johny> windego40, I'll have to go by in a moment, I'm afraid I can't help you with this issue. If you had to, you could try to paste the error texe in google , along with ("), maybe someone has alredy had this problem. Good luck anyway -:)
[01:31] <Bensel> CADF: Which window manager are you using?
[01:31] <soundray> Narissa: don't recommend envy please (slliness)
[01:32] <databuddy> i'm so close to getting ubuntu to work via flash :>
[01:32] <soundray> !envy | slliness
[01:32] <ubotu> slliness: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[01:32] <Narissa> slliness: or you could do it manually
[01:32] <windego40> _Johny: ok thanks a lot for the help though
[01:32] <Bensel> *Restricted
[01:32] <CADF> Bensel: I believe I'm using /usr/bin/metacity.
[01:32] <slliness> I thought the restricted driver was for nividia only
[01:32] <noelferreira> mneptok, i instaled it but i couldn't find the java lib file. where is it?
[01:32] <slliness> opps nvidia
[01:33] <Narissa> soundray: it'snever given me a problem what's the issue if you don't mind me asking
[01:33] <Bensel> CADF: Hrm. I had the same problem a while ago, but I was using XFCE. Though I can't remember if that was really the reason.
[01:33] <soundray> slliness: no, there is a restricted driver for ATI as well -- fglrx
[01:33] <Bensel> (and by a while I mean like two years.)
[01:33] <soundray> Narissa: it's been known to break systems.
[01:33] <soundray> !worksforme | Narissa
[01:33] <ubotu> Narissa: 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/
[01:33]  * _Johny is using it.. /:
[01:34] <Narissa> soundray: oh, okaybe
[01:34] <CADF> Hmm.. maybe I should just reformat my Ubuntu partition and reinstall.
[01:34] <PeterPan^> http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/916/snapshot1du0.jpg              how to stop
[01:34] <sledgehammer> can someone help me get boarders while using compiz-fusion
[01:34] <Narissa> though the last part was unnecessary, but okay
[01:34] <Lanken> I'm behind an HTTP proxy and I can't get sound-juicer to retrieve metadata for a CD.  I ran it in a terminal, and this is the error message:
[01:34] <slliness> they do that with those helper programs casue sometimes they break a lot of things Narissa they say this with automatix as well
[01:34] <Lanken> (sound-juicer:7280): WARNING **: mb_SetProxyCreds() not found, no proxy authorisation possible
[01:34] <_Johny> |paste|Lanken
[01:35] <_Johny> !paste|Lanken
[01:35] <ubotu> Lanken: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:35] <sFEARs> sledgehammer.. i'm having the same problem
[01:35] <Narissa> slliness: I wasn't arguing the point really, and am just happy it works for me personally.  the last par tthe bot thing I felt was a but harsh but eh,
[01:35] <Lanken> _Johny: I think it's a small enough paste to be channel-permissible
[01:35] <noelferreira> is there any jre for amd64 with java plugin to put in ~/firefox/plugins/ folder'
[01:35] <sFEARs> i think there's a dpkg ./configure ??/apps/compiz command to run but i can't remember the whole string
[01:35] <_Johny> Lanken, You're right...sorry
[01:35] <sledgehammer> noelferreira,
[01:35] <zach__> Narissa, there's no xfce-power-manager... though I could install a gnome one
[01:36] <PeterPan^> ?
[01:36] <noelferreira> yes sledgehammer
[01:36] <sFEARs> something to do with the window manager
[01:36] <zach__> Narissa, if i can find the right boot scripts to edit I might be able to fix this
[01:36] <slliness> soundray, so it works the same as the restricted drivers for nvidia the whole point and click thing at top of screen
[01:36] <sledgehammer> you using gutsy?
[01:36] <sFEARs> yup
[01:36] <Narissa> zach_: I think at this juncture due to me not being super familiar with XFCE someone else may wish to tackle this.
[01:36] <soundray> slliness: yes
[01:36] <Narissa> besides that I have to go anyway unfrotunatly, am at work
[01:36] <sledgehammer> noelferreira, are you using gutsy?
[01:36] <mneptok> zach__: have you asked in #xfce or #xubuntu ?
[01:37] <noelferreira> yes sledgehammer
[01:37] <soundray> noelferreira: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java -- scroll down, there is a section about amd64
[01:37] <zach__> mneptok, xubuntu is dead right now
[01:37] <slliness> soundray, I used to have terrible issues with ati installation
[01:37] <zach__> mneptok, i'll try xfce
[01:37] <_Johny> Good night everybody -:)
[01:37] <sledgehammer> then use icedteajava7
[01:37] <mneptok> noelferreira: i already answered you
[01:37] <PeterPan^> can any one hear me
[01:37] <slliness> soundray, that is good news does compiz play nicely with ati?
[01:37] <soundray> slliness: the installation should be smooth sailing now. How well it works is another question.
[01:37] <noelferreira> mneptok, no you didn't. tou didn't say what lib file to use
[01:37] <sFEARs> so how do we get window borders back while using compiz
[01:37] <Ildjarn> PeterPan^: No, but we can see what you're typing.
[01:38] <mneptok> noelferreira: what?
[01:38] <dinkle> can anyone tell me why i wouldn't be able to enable custom compiz settings in appearance?
[01:38] <mneptok> noelferreira: sudo apt-get install icedtea-java7-plugin
[01:38] <sFEARs> was i on the right track with the ./configure
[01:38] <mneptok> noelferreira: done.
[01:38] <sledgehammer> mneptok, icedtea is the only valid working java in gutsy
[01:38] <soundray> slliness: sorry, I don't do compiz
[01:38] <windego40> night _Johny
[01:38] <noelferreira> no mneptok IT'S NOT DONE
[01:38] <mneptok> noelferreira: yes, it is
[01:38] <sledgehammer> I worked with gutsy's java
[01:38] <MI123645> soundray: i put in noapic but then it goes back to the original "running local boot scripts" problem
[01:38] <slliness> soundray, ok thanks anyway
[01:38] <Ildjarn> *read
[01:38] <PeterPan^> Ildjarn can you help then
[01:38] <mneptok> noelferreira: there's no "lib file" you need to domnload
[01:38] <noelferreira> mneptok, do you use amd64?
[01:38] <mneptok> noelferreira: yes.
[01:38] <Girf> Umm, wow
[01:38] <noelferreira> mneptok, not download but link it
[01:38] <Ildjarn> PeterPan^: Try asking your question
[01:39] <Girf> ctrl alt f2
[01:39] <Girf> Just fixed my install
[01:39] <Girf> Booted me into the login screen
[01:39] <mneptok> noelferreira: link what?
[01:39] <Girf> Thanks, guys
[01:39] <PeterPan^> Ildjarn  http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/916/snapshot1du0.jpg              how to stop the other apt
[01:39] <noelferreira> so mneptok: open flyordie and play a little chess for me please.
[01:39] <soundray> MI123645: another option you might try is 'pci=noacpi'. I think the URL from ubotu's factoid has a few other suggestions as well.
[01:39] <mneptok> noelferreira: does the app throw errors?
[01:39] <MI123645> ok
[01:39] <Ildjarn> PeterPan^: Do you have apt-get running in a terminal?
[01:40] <slliness> soundray, have you used xubuntu?
[01:40] <Terrance> Im running kernel 2.6.22-14-generic is that the newest one ?
[01:40]  * mneptok is not installing random stuff for non-paying customers ;)
[01:40] <noelferreira> of course it doesn.t have the lib it needs mneptok
[01:40] <JoeThomas> Hi, I ran the wrong parameters for ./configure and now tried it again, and keep getting  'mod_deflate has been requested but can not be built due to prerequisite failures'
[01:40] <slliness> soundray, or xfce
[01:40] <MI123645> soundray: should i just use that alone? or should i use other parameters?
[01:40] <soundray> slliness: I have it on an old machine, but I don't use it much
[01:40] <PeterPan^> no
[01:40] <mneptok> noelferreira: then that app does not work with IcedTea. use i386.
[01:40] <noelferreira> lol
[01:40] <PeterPan^> what will Alt-F2 and put in  kdesu adept_manager        do
[01:40] <soundray> MI123645: try them individually, and if that doesn't help, try combinations.
[01:41] <santh> when i connect the external hard disc , error: cannot mount the volume plz help me
[01:41] <MI123645> ok
[01:41] <soundray> MI123645:  it can turn into real work...
[01:41] <MI123645> soundray: :(
[01:41] <RISKA> RIS_KA
[01:41] <Ildjarn> PeterPan^: It will run it with administrator rights
[01:41] <RISKA>  
[01:41] <Terrance> whats the newest kernel for ubuntu ?
[01:41] <RISKA> .
[01:41] <soundray> MI123645: you could search the web for installation reports on machines with your motherboard.
[01:42] <PeterPan^> k
[01:42] <MI123645> soundray: ill do that
[01:42] <santh>  when i connect the external hard disc , error: cannot mount the volume plz help me
[01:42] <JohnMM> Terrance: the newest kernel is obtained from kernel.or
[01:42] <JohnMM> *kernel.org
[01:42] <Bensel> When I nmap port 21 from elsewhere, it says the port is filtered
[01:42] <slliness> soundray, there is a weather applet for xfce that I would like to use in ubuntu cause weather report 2.20.0 suck and xfce uses gnomea bit so I thought it may be possible
[01:43] <Bensel> When presumably it should be open.
[01:43] <slliness> gnome a
[01:43] <DHINESH> santh: can u find the drive by typing --  fdisk -l
[01:43] <Bensel> Is there any way to make Ubuntu have the port just be open?
[01:43] <JohnMM> Bensel: it is possible that it is your ISP filtering the port
[01:43] <Bensel> JohnMM: It's not.
[01:43] <mneptok> Bensel: Ubuntu does not block any ports by default
[01:44] <JohnMM> Bensel: plenty of ISP's filter that port, it is definitely possible
[01:44] <Bensel> FTP serving works fine in Windows.
[01:44] <mneptok> on port 21?
[01:44] <santh> s dhinesh
[01:44] <Bensel> Aye, mneptok.
[01:44] <JohnMM> ah
[01:44] <mneptok> Bensel: what ftpd?
[01:44] <Ildjarn> Hm, everyone says Ubuntu does not block any ports by default. That is strange, since my ports could not be accessed until I installed firestarter and opened them.
[01:44] <zim> hi all
[01:45] <JohnMM> hi
[01:45] <mneptok> Ildjarn: trust me. Ubuntu has no active firewall rules in a clean install.
[01:45] <DHINESH> santh: then try with mount command...like mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ntfs
[01:45] <Bensel> mneptok: currently pureftpd
[01:45] <zim> how can i start a perl script at startup
[01:45] <soundray> Ildjarn: it doesn't block them, but it doesn't open them (=run any services) either
[01:45] <coeus82> hello, how do I format my USB pen drive on ubuntu?
[01:45] <Bensel> Though I've tried many others to see if they were the problem.
[01:45] <mneptok> Bensel: accessible from the internal network?
[01:45] <JohnMM> zim add it to /etc/rc
[01:45] <Bensel> mneptok: Yup.
[01:45] <mcquaid> anyone here use jinzora?
[01:45] <pr1r> hello again everyone.... im still having the same problem... my computer knows that i have a nvidia geforce fx 5200 card in the agp slot but ubuntu loads on my pci video card... how do i get it to run on the other card?
[01:45] <mneptok> Bensel: and you forwarded port 21 through your router to the IP of the Ubuntu machine?
[01:46] <Ildjarn> soundray: So in other words, they need to be opened.
[01:46] <mneptok> Ildjarn: no
[01:46] <Bensel> mneptok: Yup.
[01:46] <zim> JohnMM so if my perl script is myperlscript.pl what do i add
[01:46] <soundray> Ildjarn: no
[01:46] <JohnMM> perl myperlscript.pl zim
[01:46] <mneptok> Bensel: telnet to port 21 at your IP address
[01:46] <JohnMM> add it to /etc/rc
[01:47] <Bensel> mneptok: It all works from the same machine
[01:47] <JohnMM> (maybe called rc.local)
[01:47] <Ildjarn> mneptok, soundray: Then how come my ports were not accessible after a default install? I had to add a policy in firestarer. Only then they were accessible.
[01:47] <Bensel> nmap shows 21 opened, ftp can log in, etc.
[01:47] <santh> when i tried it only root can do that ? then what do plz help me i am new to ubuntu
[01:47] <heavben> how can you check to see if 3d graphics is working in your installation?
[01:47] <Aintaer> what does nmap do?
[01:47] <Ildjarn> mneptok, soundray: From outside, that is.
[01:47] <Bensel> It scans ports.
[01:47] <JohnMM> santh: append sudo to beginning of command
[01:47] <Aintaer> can you scan yourself?
[01:47] <Bensel> To see if they're open/closed/filtered.
[01:47] <Bensel> Aintaer: Yup.
[01:47] <loguser1> no use with kdesu
[01:47] <Aintaer> How do I do that?
[01:47] <soundray> Ildjarn: ports aren't accessible unless there is a service that runs behind them.
[01:48] <mneptok> Bensel: does Ubuntu have the *exact same internal IP address* as Windows? if not, your forward will not work.
[01:48] <Bensel> Aintaer: install nmap, then run nmap localhost
[01:48] <DHINESH> santh: if u press fdisk -l what it is showing ?
[01:48] <Bensel> mneptok: Also yes.
[01:48] <coeus82> how do I format my USB pen drive on ubuntu?
[01:48] <zim> JohnMM /etc/rc?.d if I want it to start after everthing else ie last
[01:48] <Aintaer> Isn't there like, 65536 ports to run through?
[01:48] <mneptok> Bensel: pastebin your interfaces file
[01:48] <JohnMM> zim: yeah
[01:48] <heavben> i have a radeon 8500, it says its supported but dont know if its using acceleration or not, it feels sluggish on my system

[01:49] <th0rv4ld> heavben: You have an ATI card. You're going to get ganked by *nix, no matter what.
[01:49] <santh> dhinesh help me
[01:49] <zim> JohnMM ty
[01:49] <JohnMM> zim: np :)
[01:49] <Ildjarn> soundray: I did have a service running.
[01:49] <lonran> i have rebooted and cant see any file that was on the desktop, cant even open menu with the second mouse button. what can be wrong?
[01:49] <mneptok> Bensel: that is using DHCP
[01:50] <DHINESH> santh: so /dev/sdc1 is ur external hdd s ?
[01:50] <mneptok> Bensel: you have your DHCP server set to assign the same IP to a certain MAC address?
[01:50] <Bensel> mneptok: It's reserved in the router.
[01:50] <Bensel> I do, yes.
[01:50] <santh> yes
[01:50] <mneptok> Bensel: does "ifconfig" agree with you?
[01:50] <Bensel> mneptok: Aye.
[01:51] <mneptok> Bensel: then i suspect a pureftpd misconfiguration
[01:51] <DHINESH> santh: so go to terminal ...and type as > mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/ntfs
[01:51] <zim> JohnMM before of after "exit 0"
[01:51] <JohnMM> before
[01:51] <DHINESH> santh: then go ntfs dirctory and find the external hdd content
[01:51] <Bensel> mneptok: None of the ftpd's I've tried have worked :S
[01:51] <Bensel> But I'll try pokint pureftpd around some more.
[01:52] <sFEARs> DHINESH.. when i boot up i have a link to my ntfs partition on my desktop.. how do i disable that?
[01:52] <Bensel> * poking
[01:52] <JohnMM> Bensel, try reading the man page
[01:52] <zim> JohnMM and in the comments it talks about multiuser runlevel will this run if im not logged in ?
[01:52] <sFEARs> fstab mounts it to a folder which is good.. but i don't what it on my desktop
[01:52] <santh> permission denied
[01:52] <JohnMM> zim: it should
[01:52] <zim> multiuser runlevel ty
[01:53] <JohnMM> np
[01:53] <zim> JohnMM ty
[01:53] <JohnMM> np
[01:53] <Bensel> mneptok: Thanks for trying :)
[01:53] <mneptok> Bensel: not to mention the idea of using FTP in 2007 is rather disgusting ;)
[01:53] <JohnMM> what's better then ftp?
[01:53] <JohnMM> :o
[01:53] <slliness> xfce4-weather-plugin is possble to install in gnome without installing a whole bunch of dependencies?
[01:53] <JohnMM> :P
[01:53] <mneptok> JohnMM: the word "than" for one thing ;)
[01:54] <JohnMM> lol
[01:54] <santh> permission denied is displayed what to do ?
[01:54] <santh> permission denied is displayed what to do ?
[01:54] <Bensel> mneptok: I have to use it, there's someone I need to transfer files with for whom every single other protocol known to man screws up :3
[01:54] <DHINESH> santh : try with > sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/ntfs
[01:54] <JohnMM> santh: append sudo to beginning of command
[01:54] <windego40> WOOHOO i finally mounted my ipod and its working :D
[01:54] <mneptok> santh: do not repeat. do not paste. last warning.
[01:54] <mneptok> Bensel: SFTP?
[01:55] <Bensel> It's a non-technical user P:
[01:55] <Ildjarn> Can I configure notification area to display my icons in a specific order each time?
[01:55] <mneptok> Bensel: Filezilla?
[01:55] <santh> only root can do that message displayed help plzzzzz
[01:55] <JohnMM> you could always purchase a cpanel license if you have trouble managing a linux server
[01:56] <JoeThomas> After I run make install, I can delete the source folder correct?
[01:57] <JohnMM> correct JoeThomas
[01:57] <DShepherd> JoeThomas, its not wise to do that... make uninstall removes the program
[01:58] <sFEARs> rename the directory
[01:58] <sFEARs> see if everything still works correctally.. if it does, go ahead and delete it
[01:58] <new> what application do I use for VPN ?
[01:58] <crdlb> it will always work without the source directory
[01:58] <sFEARs> just hope you don't have to recompile
[01:58] <JoeThomas> well i did apache2.2 from source, it works fine.
[01:58] <JoeThomas> alright just checking.
[01:58] <JoeThomas> I'm keeping the tarball, just not the folder.
[01:59] <crdlb> however removing the source directory will take away the ability to uninstall
[01:59] <JohnMM> you don't need the source folder ever after doing a make install unless you want to do make uninstall
[01:59] <slliness> xfce4-weather-plugin is it  possble to install in gnome without installing a whole bunch of dependencies? or is there any other good applets for gnome as weather report 2.20.0 sucks 4 me
[01:59] <JoeThomas> Can I compress the source folder to save a bit of space though?
[01:59] <new> what proram do I use to make a VPN connection?
[01:59] <JohnMM> JoeThomas: of course
[01:59] <JoeThomas> JohnMM: okay thanks
[01:59] <JoeThomas> Thanks everyone else too
[01:59] <JohnMM> np
[01:59] <Bensel> Hrm. It's not a misconfiguration it seems.
[02:00] <Bensel> SSH is also filtered.
[02:00] <JohnMM> sounds like your isp
[02:00] <Bensel> Again, it works perfectly in Windows.
[02:00] <JohnMM> well that doesn't make sense
[02:00] <Bensel> On the same machine, with the same router settings.
[02:01] <JohnMM> that's odd
[02:01] <Templar> can the same icon themes be installed on xubuntu as ubuntu?
[02:01] <mneptok> Bensel: it is not Ubuntu filtering anything, unless you specifically enabled that.
[02:01] <JohnMM> no, gnome themes do not work in kde
[02:01] <JohnMM> (Templar
[02:01] <JohnMM> *)
[02:01] <mneptok> JohnMM: he said "Xubuntu" ;)
[02:01] <new> anyone have any suggestions for connecting to M$ VPN?
[02:02] <Bensel> mneptok: I can't for the life of me remember ever changing anything related to filtering things.
[02:02] <Templar> did u mean kubuntu
[02:02] <JohnMM> what gui does Xubuntu run?
[02:02] <mneptok> new: yeah, tell your netadmins to use IPsec and not PPTP
[02:02] <mneptok> JohnMM: XFCE
[02:02] <JohnMM> ah
[02:02] <JohnMM> well I don't believe gnome templates work in XFCE either
[02:02] <JohnMM> but I could be wrong about that one
[02:03] <santh> how to enter as root in terminal mode tell that command
[02:03] <mneptok> sudo
[02:03] <Templar> johnmm - cheers
[02:03] <JohnMM> ><; SUDO
[02:03] <mneptok> ess you dee oh
[02:03] <JohnMM> Templar: np
[02:03] <santh> johnmm help
[02:03] <mneptok> sudo
[02:03] <JohnMM> SUDO SUDO SUDO santh
[02:03] <JohnMM> for the millionth time
[02:03] <mneptok> santh: sudo. sudo. sudo. sudo.
[02:03] <new> mneptok: thanks smartass
[02:03] <DShepherd> !sudo | santh
[02:03] <ubotu> santh: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:03] <_zach_> you could always set a password for root :-P
[02:03] <_zach_> and just use "su" to login to root
[02:04] <_zach_> though that's arguably less secure
[02:04] <Bensel> But thanks for trying though, guys :3
[02:04] <JohnMM> np, that's a weird one Bensel
[02:04] <Bensel> I'll sift through config files to see if I can find anything suspect.
[02:05] <dkulchenko> i can't load any games on my computer
[02:05] <santh> connecting my external hard disc it shows unable to mount what to do johnmm
[02:05] <JohnMM> ...
[02:05] <dkulchenko> when i click on them in the menu, nothing happens
[02:05] <crdlb> Templar: gnome and xfce use the same Icon and Application theme formats
[02:05] <dkulchenko> if i do it in the command line, it just executes and does not do anything
[02:05] <crdlb> just diffent Window Border theme formats
[02:05] <slliness> I installed avast4linux for my dual boot situation and cannot see it anywhere
[02:06] <crdlb> different*
[02:06] <JohnMM> santh: read this very carefully and follow the following step by step, this will solve your question... 1) type fdisk -l, match the /dev/name with the capacity of the drive 2) do a sudo mount /dev/name /mnt/something
[02:07] <edj> hello can some help me with some problems concerning kiba-dock??
[02:08] <billenium> bbl
[02:08] <ari_stress> hi hi :D
[02:08] <ouellettesr> hello, which port do I need to forward for rdesktop?
[02:09] <edj> anyone?
[02:10] <PJIRCtest> Kubuntu forever!
[02:10] <bradv_> ouellettesr: rdesktop is a client. You shouldn't need to forward any port. On the server side, you will need to open a port depending on what you are using (Windows Terminal Services, etc.)
[02:11] <edj> some help with kiba-dock??
[02:11] <inversekinetix> does anyone know where I can get help installing mame and mess?  the irc channels on here are useless
[02:11] <santh> mount: only root can do that. what to do johnmm
[02:11] <edj> Hello
[02:11] <ouellettesr> bradv_: so If im going to connect to my friend windows pc to help him, im the one that has to open the port?
[02:12] <bradv_> ouellettesr: No, he does. He's running the server. Check the documentation for remote desktop in Windows.
[02:12] <ouellettesr> right, that's what I was asking
[02:12] <ouellettesr> I need to know the port number
[02:12] <ouellettesr> its 3389 I've got it thanks
[02:12] <mike3_> ouellettesr, no..... have him do a remote assistance request and make sure port 3900 is open on his computer. I think it's 3900 RDP uses.
[02:13] <edj> anybody can help me with kiba-dock??
[02:13] <mike3_> 3389 that's it
[02:13] <ouellettesr> mike3_: how can he send me a request when im on ubuntu
[02:13] <D-Elite> can ubuntu cook a mean turkey on thursday?
[02:13] <pyrak> how do i use wifi radar to connect to a network with a WAP key?
[02:13] <mike3_> ouellettesr, via e-mail request.. Under Help/Support
[02:14] <mike3_> ouellettesr, He can e-mail you the xml file. Open it up in kedit or whatever and copy the link location....
[02:14] <ouellettesr> mike3_: ok thanks
[02:14] <edj> anyone know how to get rid of the black and clear bars in kibadock??
[02:14] <D-Elite> Edj, im running kiba, i dont see that
[02:14] <D-Elite> edj, is it populated with icons yet?
[02:14] <edj> i have no idea what went wrong?
[02:15] <edj> yes
[02:15] <slliness> how do I change .png to .svg
[02:15] <D-Elite> edj, have you tried messing with the kibasettings?
[02:15] <slliness> gimp?
[02:15] <edj> yea it doesnt seem to help
[02:15] <edj> and i tried to upgrade the gset-kiba
[02:15] <D-Elite> edj, you got me on that one. i personally dont like it to much
[02:15] <inversekinetix> can anyone help me installing the latest versions of MAME and MESS?
[02:15] <edj> but cant seem to find it
[02:15] <RISKA> allow
[02:15] <RISKA> cay
[02:15] <bulmer> slliness-> try inkscape
[02:16] <bradv_> slliness: png is a raster drawing, svg is a vector format. You will need to find something to trace what you need. Inkscape may help you.
[02:16] <D-Elite> edj, sometimes it looses minimized windows and i have to ALT-TAB to find them
[02:16] <edj> what other docks are good?
[02:16] <D-Elite> edj, this is the only one ive tried
[02:16] <D-Elite> edj, there are a couple more tho.
[02:16] <slliness> does create custom launcher only support .svg for icon files?
[02:16] <edj> i just want to get rid of those those bars
[02:17] <edj> or install another doc
[02:17] <Ildjarn> Under ifconfig, I have an extra interface "wmaster0". How do I get rid of it? It has the same MAC address as wlan0, with extra 0s.
[02:18] <edj> i had one install on edgy but dont remember what it was called
[02:18] <loguser1> how to upgrade kubuntu 7.04 to 7.10 ?       and maintaiiining the same apps and settings. ?
[02:18] <_zach_> loguser1, it should keep the same config and if it detects it's going to change... it'll tell you
[02:19] <edj> any one good recommendation for applet docks?
[02:19] <slliness> I found my avast install for my dual boot situation but cannot seem to put it into menu so wanted to create quick launcher to access easily but cannot see copy of avast.png in ~/ folder so does quick launcher only support .svg
[02:19] <bulmer> check your /etc/network/interfaces file
[02:19] <slliness> ?
[02:20] <nipa> hello
[02:20] <danbhfive> hi
[02:20] <Ildjarn> bulmer: There's no wmaster0 in my /etc/network/interfaces
[02:21] <sirdork> Help my sound is detected but won't work
[02:21] <nipa> i have a problem with my two monitors. i'm running ubuntu 7.04 with a dualhead graphics card. i have a 15" monitor rotated and a 17" non-rotated. i want to run twinview, but be able to rotate the 15". if i manually try adding rotate parameters to xorg.conf, it rotates the 17" as well
[02:21] <nipa> check if it's using your onboard
[02:21] <nipa> that's what happened to me
[02:22] <edj> exit
[02:22] <loguser1> _zach_:  but will the app be installed as it is ?
[02:23] <danbhfive> loguser1: the apps will be updated to later versions, but other than that, they will be the same
[02:23] <Templar> any of you guys use a firewall on ubuntu?
[02:23] <Templar> or do i even need one?
[02:23] <danbhfive> for example, firefox kept all my bookmarks, and extentions
[02:23] <bulmer> yes, we use iptables
[02:24] <loguser1> k
[02:24] <bradv_> Templar: Try install firestarter. It is a configuration tool for your firewall.
[02:24] <nipa> anyone know if there's anything i can do concerning my problem?
[02:24] <pr1r> hello again i have another question... i got the video working on my geforce fx 5200 now... but now the other monitor is off... and in screens and graphics i try to "test" the other monitor and when i do the program tries and then vanishes... how do i go about getting 2 monitors on 2 separate video cards to work...
[02:24] <dissection> Under ifconfig, I have an extra interface "wmaster0". How do I get rid of it? It has the same MAC address as wlan0, with extra 0s.
[02:24] <pr1r> thank you in advance
[02:24] <Templar> thanks
[02:24] <emma> Templar,  I use firestarter. I think it is a GUI for the iptables.
[02:24] <bulmer> dissection-> does it also show when using  "ip a"
[02:24] <loguser1> danbhfive:  last thing. if i pluge that hardrive to an other pc. with different hardware. like from p3 to p4. will kubuntu work?
[02:25] <bradv_> dissection: Why do you want to get rid of it? Is it causing a problem?
[02:25] <emma> Templar,  you can see if you have it by going to settings>administration and seeing if you have an app called 'Firestarter'
[02:25] <nipa> dan, probably not
[02:25] <nipa> but i'm not sure
[02:25] <Templar> cheers - will do
[02:25] <_zach_> prlr, have you tried googling for double headed xconfig's?
[02:25] <pyrak> how do i connect to my password-protected network with wifi radar?
[02:25] <emma> If you don't have it and you want it then you can find firestarter in synaptic package manager.
[02:26] <danbhfive> loguser1: I think so, I moved this harddrive from an amd athlon to a pentium dual core
[02:26] <Ildjarn_> Under ifconfig, I have an extra interface "wmaster0". How do I get rid of it? It has the same MAC address as wlan0, with extra 0s.
[02:26] <loguser1> ok
[02:26] <Templar> just converted my dad to xubuntu there and he loves it!
[02:26] <pr1r> _zach_ yes i have googled a bunch of different things from that to installing nvidis drivers... etc... im not a slacker... ive been at this since noon
[02:26] <danbhfive> loguser1: as long as it is the same architecture... it will use the the same kernel
[02:26] <Templar> runs a treat on his old laptop
[02:26] <jmazaredo> Failed to fetch http://ph.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-updates/restricted/source/Sources.bz2  Hash Sum mismatch
[02:26] <_zach_> prlr: just curious... because I know very little on the topic
[02:27] <pr1r> i tried xinerama

[02:27] <pr1r> like
[02:27] <pr1r> last ubuntu build

[02:27] <bradv_> Ildjarn_: You have the same problem as dissection???
[02:27] <nipa> can someone help me with my rotated twinview problem?
[02:27] <jmazaredo> pici u there
[02:27] <_zach_> prlr: so you've got 2 video cards and you want two separate outputs?
[02:27] <Ildjarn_> bradv_: I'm dissection. Having electricity problems here and getting disconnected every few minutes.
[02:27] <bung> hey i accidently reformatted my /boot ... is there a way to get it working agian without reinstall? i get the feeling grub-install isnt enough cuz the kernel will be missing... thoughts?
[02:28] <matjan> anyone familiar with using samba for sharing a linux folder in an xp virtual machine?
[02:28] <pr1r> 2 separate video cards, 1 pci 1 agp and i want to stretch the desktop across them
[02:28] <matjan> that is, using vmware server
[02:28] <danbhfive> bung: maybe reinstall the kernel?  just a wild guess
[02:28] <bradv_> Ildjarn_: Why do you want to get rid of it? Is it causing problems?
[02:28] <loguser1> k
[02:28] <gRaCiOsO> i have a problem with my usb memory it cant be mounted o something like it i cant see it some one could help me? i use feisty

[02:29] <_zach_> prlr: sounds like a tall order...
[02:29] <pyrak> how do i connect to a password-protected network with wifi radar?  or in general?
[02:29] <bradv_> Ildjarn_: If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. Perhaps you need it for something.
[02:29] <pr1r> _zach_: yeah ive been trying this since ubuntu 5.04 or something
[02:29] <JPSman> are there any commands that would make ubuntu detect my LCD screen?
[02:29] <Ildjarn_> hm
[02:29] <pr1r> i continue every time a new build comes out to do this and end up going back to windows
[02:29] <_zach_> prlr: i'd almost recommend writing something yourself if you're hardcore enough :-P
[02:29] <pr1r> i wish
[02:30] <pr1r> im shocked i got flock on here
[02:30] <danbhfive> JPSman: are you changing screens or something?
[02:30] <Ildjarn_> bradv_: I'm not sure if it has got anything to do with not letting my wireless connect automatically.
[02:30] <sirdork> can someone please help me with my sound
[02:30] <pr1r> ima steal this part from my boss computer and just try to run both monitors from the 1 card
[02:30] <bradv_> Ildjarn_: I have wmaster0 on my computer
[02:31] <pr1r> thanks for the help tho man i really do appreciate it
[02:31] <Ildjarn_> Hm, okay.
[02:31] <JPSman> danbhfive - nope I R is trying to duel monitor
[02:31] <_zach_> prlr: not showing any bias anywhere... but use whatever os works for you best
[02:31] <nipa> it appears i can't rotate a monitor in a twinview setup.. anyone know how i can get compiz fusion working with xinerama, or last ditch solution, two seperate X screens? i've tried two seperate X screens, but one of the monitors has about 1-2 seconds delay in opening anything
[02:31] <pr1r> _zach_ i hate windows... i love ubuntu... i really wanna use it
[02:31] <JPSman> danbhfive - however it doesn't seem to want to recognize my LCD, it only does when the VGA is unplugged
[02:31] <_zach_> prlr: see I like ubuntu, but sometimes I'd rather use windows
[02:31] <jmazaredo> http://ph.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-updates/restricted/source/Sources.bz2: Hash Sum mismatch
[02:31] <_zach_> prlr: gaming mostly

[02:32] <_zach_> prlr: wine just isn't mature enough to run ANYTHING quite yet
[02:32] <danbhfive> JPSman: well, if you were putting in a new monitor, I would suggest running a varient of sudo dpkg-reconfigure xsever-org
[02:32] <pr1r> yeah im big on the hl2dm, lol
[02:32] <danbhfive> or something like that
[02:32] <pr1r> ill brb ima go tell him i need that shit back

[02:33] <ryan_> hey guys, i installed a dial up modem in 7.04 and also installed the driver, problem is i can't dial out it trys but just seems to get stuck any suggestions?
[02:33] <littleball> hello, what package is for bind dns server?
[02:33] <_zach_> nipa, it's that way for almost everything emulated
[02:33] <whitespy9> apt-get command for mp3 codecs anyone?
[02:33] <JPSman> danbhfive - "    Package `xsever-org' is not installed and no info is available.   "
[02:34] <littleball> i did apt-cache search bind, which does not return the DNS server package
[02:34] <_zach_> whitespy9: something involving lame
[02:34] <soulfire> my LiveCD is good (checked for errors, none came up) and whenever I click the install option, after the loading bar goes away, Ubuntu hangs at the desktop for what seems like hours.  is there a way to get around this?
[02:34] <whitespy9> exsqueege me zach?
[02:35] <danbhfive> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[02:35] <nipa> whitespy9, try looking at the gstreamer packages
[02:35] <_zach_> whitespy9, the program that does mp3 type things "lame"
[02:35] <soulfire> danbh where do i enter this?
[02:35] <nipa> i got my mp3 support using those
[02:35] <_zach_> whitespy9, lame aint an mp3 encoder
[02:35] <_zach_> recursive acronyms... such fun
[02:35] <danbhfive> wo, sorry soulfire, that wasn't for you
[02:35] <soulfire> oh nps
[02:36] <pyrak> anything on connecting to a password-protected network with wifi radar?
[02:36] <soulfire> so many people here:P
[02:36] <danbhfive> :)
[02:36] <JPSman> i am here :OD
[02:36] <soulfire> but yea.. i can't figure out why it hangs at the desktop loading screen
[02:36] <danbhfive> JPSman: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[02:36] <_zach_> pyrak, isn't there a box in there somewhere for a password?
[02:36] <pyrak> _zach_, yeah, but it's confusing, it says "key"
[02:37] <JPSman> danbhfive - "   xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
[02:37] <JPSman>    file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20071120193516    "
[02:37] <pyrak> _zach_, and entering the key in there doesn't work
[02:37] <_zach_> pyrak, hrm
[02:37] <_zach_> pyrak, anything useful in the manpage/google?
[02:37] <pyrak> _zach_, there's also a field that says "WPA"
[02:37]  * JPSman is a complete and utter NEWB
[02:37] <pyrak> _zach_, not google, didn't check the manpage
[02:37] <danbhfive> JPSman: yeah, keep track of that stuff, thats exactly what that command does
[02:38] <danbhfive> it overwrites xorg.conf
[02:38] <_zach_> pyrak, wep is the weak one, wpa is the strong one... maybe try it in that space?
[02:38] <danbhfive> if does a re-detect of your video card drivers and monitors
[02:38] <_zach_> pyrak, i'd assume you're using wpa anyways
[02:38] <pyrak> well, in WPA, it says "Driver"
[02:38] <littleball> hello, who  can help me check whether bind9 is in the repository?
[02:38] <pyrak> not "key"
[02:38] <sirdork> Someone please help.  I can't get my sound working
[02:38] <_zach_> pyrak, wno that you mention it... i never figured that out either...
[02:38] <_zach_> sirdork, what's the prob?
[02:39] <inversekinetix> can anyone help me install MAME and MESS please?
[02:39] <littleball> Package bind9 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[02:39] <sirdork> _zach_ it won't make a sound
[02:39] <DHINESH> how to install missing plugins ? now i am using realplayer to play mp3 file
[02:39] <_zach_> inversekinetix, have you hit up google yet?
[02:39] <danbhfive> littleball: have you check you repos?
[02:39] <_zach_> sirdork, any clues or hints as to why?
[02:39] <littleball> yes. Package bind9 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[02:39] <littleball>  is the returned msg
[02:39] <pyrak> _zach_, i was suspecting that it had to come in the form of a "connection command"
[02:39] <inversekinetix> _zach_ of course
[02:39] <littleball> i searched both au. and us. repository
[02:39] <sirdork> _zach_ the card is ditected but alsa and oss won't play a single noise
[02:40] <danbhfive> littleball: System > Administration > Software Sources
[02:40] <JPSman> danbhfive - so should I now restart?
[02:40] <pyrak> _zach_, but i'm a noob to the command line, i'd have no idea how to go about it
[02:40] <_zach_> sirdork, sound is turned up?
[02:40] <danbhfive> JPSman: yes, or you can hit ctrl+alt+backspace
[02:40] <sirdork> _zach_ yup the sound is turned up but nothing
[02:40] <_zach_> pyrak, the gusty has some wireless stuff built in
[02:40] <_zach_> sirdork, both on the speakers and alsa-conf?
[02:41] <_zach_> sirdork, I've had foot in mouth moments where alsa was muted
[02:41] <sirdork> _zach_ yes both
[02:41] <DHINESH> anyone help me.... how to install missing plugins ? Now i want to play realplayer to play mp3 file..
[02:41] <JPSman> WOW that was fast :OD
[02:41] <Azrael24> hi guys...I'm looking for a tv tuner card to make my computer a multimedia center with 7.10 - question is, what's a good tv tuner card that works with GG, and supports closed caption? (I'm deaf btw)
[02:41] <kazol3> Anyone here familiar with the AES wifi encryption "key renewal" setting?
[02:41] <JPSman> <-------- second day using this :OD
[02:41] <Azrael24> JPSman...they're pretty quick in here, and quite supportive
[02:42] <_zach_> inversekinetix, have you checked out: http://my.opera.com/Mr%20Green/blog/show.dml/171040
[02:42] <_zach_> sirdork, so the driver loads sound is on... and nothing's comin out
[02:42] <danbhfive> JPSman, did it work?
[02:43] <sirdork> _zach_ that's about it
[02:43] <inversekinetix> _zach_: yep, it installs the old version, I need the newest version
[02:43] <littleball> danbhfive, i am using remote console. not UI
[02:43] <JPSman> danbhfive - Well, my LCD is now my main screen and my VGA is all wako like the resolution is too high
[02:43] <UbuntMe> Hi
[02:44] <_zach_> inversekinetix, build from source?
[02:44] <JPSman> danbhfive - There is no option for changing my VGA resolution in the "screens and graphics" app
[02:44] <UbuntMe> Hows it going?
[02:44] <danbhfive> hmm, it sounds like a start, you may be able to fix, doh!
[02:44] <_zach_> sirdork, to tell you the truth I know little about tinkering with the sound... :-\
[02:44] <UbuntMe> Hey guys, I have a problem
[02:44] <JPSman> danbhfive - shows screen 2 as "disabled"
[02:44] <danbhfive> do you mean there is only one resolution?
[02:44] <JPSman> eh i;ll play with it
[02:44] <JPSman> no two screens are listed
[02:45] <squish102_> what is the best tool to set up samba with writable shares?
[02:45] <_zach_> sirdork, was it working before, or is this a fresh ubuntu... any ideas on what changed to make it not work?
[02:45] <JPSman> OH but my visual effects are now turned off :O(
[02:45] <EchoBinary> so ive messed up my xfce config and cant get any windows, is there a command to reset every configuration option?
[02:45] <_zach_> sirdork, maybe a driver or kernel-module?
[02:45] <UbuntMe> I can only change my resolution up to 1024-768.  How can I make the resolution higher?
[02:45] <danbhfive> littleball: edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:45] <JPSman> brb, gonna reboot
[02:45] <sirdork> _zach_ I was on windows then I installed ubuntu and no sound
[02:46] <Azrael24> sirdork - are you trying to resolve sound?
[02:46] <_zach_> UbuntMe, try changing your monitor... i think plugnplay only allows up to 1024x768... others can go bigger
[02:46] <pyrak> _zach_, also, the key _is_ WEP i think, that's the setting that makes it work in network-manager
[02:46] <danbhfive> JPSman, yeah, visual effects will be turned off, do you have a graphics card?
[02:46] <danbhfive> hmmm, he left
[02:46] <sirdork> _zach_ resolve sound ??????????/
[02:46] <inversekinetix> _zach_: I built the latest version for it but it need a front end, i cant get anything to wok
[02:46] <UbuntMe> _zach_:  Well, I have a laptop....
[02:46] <_zach_> sirdork, i have no idea
[02:46] <littleball> danbhfive, oh, i know this file. the orig ones are sg. Because it does not work, i chage to us. and au. both not work
[02:46] <Azrael24> hi guys...I'm looking for a tv tuner card to make my computer a multimedia center with 7.10 - question is, what's a good tv tuner card that works with GG, and supports closed caption? (I'm deaf btw) any suggestions?
[02:47] <littleball> work now. thanks
[02:47] <_zach_> inversekinetix, so you installed the packages and then installed the newest from source?
[02:47] <dai1313> sirdork; try reloading driver?
[02:47] <_zach_> UbuntMe, try looking thru the list of monitors for whatever looks closest to what you have
[02:47] <sirdork> _zach_ several times
[02:48] <JPSman> !dual
[02:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dual - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:48] <clever[rev]> !games
[02:48] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[02:48] <UbuntMe> I use to have this thing I got from add/remove where I could change the reselution higher.  then I restarted ubuntu from scratch, so I know its out there.
[02:48] <JoeThomas> I just built mysql5.0.45 from source, and it says i dont have mysqladmin
[02:48] <inversekinetix> _zach_:  yes but the front ends wont recognize the latest sdls
[02:48] <danbhfive> JPSman: are you using a restricted driver for you graphics card?
[02:48] <JPSman> danbhfive - yeah :O'
[02:48] <_zach_> UbuntMe, try looking thru the settings/preferences for something resoluation related
[02:49] <_zach_> inversekinetix, sdl?
[02:49] <danbhfive> JPSman: i suggest uninstalling, reboot, and reinstalling the driver
[02:49] <danbhfive> it may bring back the eye candy
[02:49] <inversekinetix> _zach_: sdl is the graphics library for it i think
[02:49] <Fleg> alright.  how do I install ubuntu via lan
[02:49] <UbuntMe> _zach_:  Ya, doesn't work.
[02:49] <jmazaredo> !hash
[02:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hash - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:49] <JPSman> danbhfive - eye candy is back - but it does not like dualing with that restricted driver on
[02:50] <Aintaer> Hmm, netstat -l takes a long time right before it hits sshd, is this something to be worried about?
[02:50] <offseid> Is there a way for me to minimize Xchat to the systray?
[02:50] <JPSman> danbhfive - cuz i'm back to my first monitor :O,
[02:50] <dsmith_> hi
[02:50] <danbhfive> JPSman: well, I'm at the limits of my knowledge  :(  I just knew that one command
[02:50] <Peddy> Can somebody please tell me if there is a way to burn an AVI file to a DVD in Ubuntu?
[02:51] <peterbilt> Aintaer using netstat -tunap is a good non-root or sudo output.
[02:51] <dsmith_> im new to ubuntu, however how can I change the window management icons from right to left?
[02:51] <_zach_> UbuntMe, reconfigure xorg.conf?
[02:51] <DShepherd> Peddy, yeah...Places -- Cd/Dvd Creator put your file there.. and click write to disc
[02:51] <Azrael24> peddy...I'm curious to learn this too...I got battlestar galatica 'razor' and been trying to burn it to dvd - from avi file
[02:51] <_zach_> inversekinetix, maybe build the frontends from source too?
[02:52] <JPSman> danbhfive - do you know of any slow but steady tutorials online where I can learn the in's and out's of linux/ubuntu/gutsy?
[02:52] <Peddy> DSheperd: but will that make it playable in a normal DVD player?
[02:52] <Azrael24> peddy...I heard of 'tovo' or something?
[02:52] <Peddy> tovid?
[02:52] <inversekinetix> _zach_:  i dont know how to i tried and its a nighmare
[02:52] <_sam_> is it possible to run network-manager outside of gnome?
[02:52] <Azrael24> that's the one!  tovid
[02:52] <Azrael24> tried it?
[02:52] <danbhfive> little: glad it worked out
[02:52] <DShepherd> Peddy, not sure
[02:52] <UbuntMe> _zach_:  whats that?
[02:53] <_zach_> inversekinetix, sometimes that's the difficulty on staying bleeding edge
[02:53] <_sam_> re network-manager, i actually mean outside of X11
[02:53] <DShepherd> Peddy, can pop the dvd in and double click on the file...
[02:53] <Peddy> DShepherd: I don't think it will... Any other ideas (some software maybe)?
[02:53] <soulzz2003> is the ubuntu livecd install suppose to take longer then 30 minutes?  mines been idle at the desktop with nothing for about 1 hour now
[02:53] <Peddy> DShepherd: I mean playing it on a physical DVD player
[02:53] <inversekinetix> _zach_:  i dont understand why the repositories are 15 versions behind
[02:53] <Peddy> it won't work
[02:53] <_zach_> inversekinetix, is there anyone out there that builds the newest releases of mame for people to use on a separate repo?
[02:53] <DShepherd> Peddy, oh, .. no bright ideas left for that though
[02:54] <_sam_> soulzz2003: is it stuck on any specific screen in the installer?
[02:54] <_zach_> UbuntMe, it can be kinda nitty gritty but it's how you can configure your monitor/videocard/resolution manually
[02:54] <Peddy> ok thanks though
[02:54] <inversekinetix> there are no packages. you have to build it from source
[02:54] <Fleg> JPSMan
[02:54] <Fleg> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=500020
[02:54] <_zach_> inversekinetix, ain't that a beotch
[02:54] <slliness> jingle bells
[02:55] <_zach_> inversekinetix, maybe post on the forums and hope for the best?
[02:55] <danbhfive> JPSman, no I don't. I just look at the forums myself
[02:55] <inversekinetix> _zach_:  Ive tried, but no one helps, I guess Ill just have to use windows for these basic tasks
[02:55] <JPSman> danbhfive - thank you for your help anyway :D
[02:55] <_zach_> inversekinetix, i know how you feel
[02:55] <Fleg> JPSman go here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=500020
[02:55] <danbhfive> JPSman, you could check out ubuntu.com, I;m sure it has somthing
[02:55] <Peddy> Anybody know how to burn an AVI file to a DVD in ubuntu?
[02:56] <JPSman> Fleg - thanks :OD
[02:56] <inversekinetix> _zach_:  i guess linux/ubuntu isnt quite ready yet\
[02:56] <_zach_> inversekinetix, it's a lot better than it used to be... but still not perfect for everything
[02:56] <_sam_> games are the big gap right now
[02:56] <_zach_> huge
[02:56] <sirdork> can anyone else help me tinker with the sound?
[02:56] <soulzz2003> cegeda helps
[02:56] <soulzz2003> a bunch ;)
[02:57] <Fleg> alright. who knows how to install on lan
[02:57] <_zach_> still ain't perfect
[02:57] <_zach_> even starcraft runs a little glitchy on bnet
[02:57] <soulzz2003> i know, but its close to it :)
[02:57] <soulzz2003> its better then it was 3 years ago, thats for sure
[02:57] <_zach_> it's like 11 years old
[02:57] <Aintaer> Closer to perfect than windows.
[02:57] <soulzz2003> oh yea
[02:57] <_sam_> that's why it's not well supported
[02:57] <UbuntMe> _zach_:  is it a command or a program?
[02:57] <inversekinetix> its not even games, its breadth of development thats missing
[02:57] <_sam_> war2 bne also sucks in cedega
[02:57] <_sam_> inversekinetix: huh?
[02:57] <inversekinetix> or maturity of that development
[02:58] <_zach_> UbuntMe, it's a configuration file... if you don't know what it is... i'd recommend against messing with it... it can be tiresome to fix
[02:58] <_sam_> inversekinetix: help me out with an example
[02:58] <soulzz2003> so does anyone have an idea how to fix a desktop freeze - i can't get past it.. no icons show up whatsoever.
[02:58] <UbuntMe> ok
[02:58] <_sam_> soulzz2003: hit ctrl-alt-backspace and see if it comes around
[02:58] <Jimmi_jones> I just started a fresh reinstall of 7.1 on my laptop. Anyone here who can help me get my Broadcom 4311 internal working on it once the install is done? The restricted drivers didn't do it for me before.
[02:58] <_zach_> soulzz2003, that'll restart the window manager
[02:59] <soulzz2003> _sam_ and _zach_ thanks;)
[02:59] <UbuntMe> So, know one elce knows how I  can change my resolution past 1024-768?
[02:59] <_zach_> soulzz2003, i had problems in ubuntu gusty with that
[02:59] <soulzz2003> do i to this on the desktop?
[02:59] <_sam_> soulzz2003: anywhere in the GUI
[02:59] <soulzz2003> or during the livecd boot screen
[02:59] <_zach_> soulzz2003, had something to do with suspend I think... idk... I switched to xubuntu and now have a whole new set of issues
[02:59] <soulzz2003> oh ok
[02:59] <soulzz2003> _zach_ have you tried kubuntu?
[02:59] <inversekinetix> _sam_  Im big into emulation, I have emulators for everything under windows, setting them up is easy, theyre easy to configure with usually excellent guis, there are many up to date ones,   no trying to do this on linux has so far been nothing but a long long headache/nightmare
[03:00] <craptasticles> I'm having problems with grub. It's saying error 21: disk does not exist.
[03:00] <_zach_> soulzz2003, not yet... but I think if i can work out the kinks in xubuntu I'll be fine... I'd prefer lightweight
[03:00] <marek_> sorry 4 my english
[03:00] <_sam_> oh, yeah, emu devs kind of do their own thing on linux.  i agree that it's a bit more standardized on windows, where the apps have a common launch method
[03:00] <soulzz2003> _zach_ is xubuntu difficult for a power user (with no previous knowledge of linux) to install?
[03:01] <_sam_> i have fceu and zsnes set up on my mythtv box.. you need a little bit of CLI experience to do that comfortably, and even then it was a little weird getting roms with spaces in the filenames to start properly.  but that's a mythtv thing.
[03:01] <_zach_> soulzz2003, idk... it installs easy... just configuring everything and working out the kinks is giving me trouble
[03:01] <marek_> when i use apt-build, which processor i must select? when i use amd mobile sempron 3400+ i686?
[03:01] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: it sounds like you have grub pointed to a partition or disk that isn't there, is your machine not booting?
[03:01] <krs1> I'm having trouble with Gutsy, w/ screensaver and powersaving turned off, after about 5 minutes the screen goes black.  can anyone help me prevent this?
[03:01] <_zach_> _sam_, are you using that new scheduling thing?
[03:02] <_sam_> _zach_: schedules direct?
[03:02] <_sam_> i like it.
[03:02] <craptasticles> jimmi_jones: well, I'm trying to boot a second disk that contains windows
[03:02] <_zach_> _sam_, i have a dedicated myth box but i kinda stopped using it when I went to school
[03:02] <Whisperkiller> can someone help me with my ati driver automatic installer? https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.42.3-inst.html the instructions dont seem to be working on gutsy x64.  The part im stuck on is getting the automatic installer to run.
[03:02] <inversekinetix> _sam_ installing an emulator shouldnt have to involve compiling front and back ends from source, espcially when they use different compilers that you have to figuire out first and then mess around with cryptic configuration files
[03:02] <soulzz2003> well, i tried ctrl+alt+backspace.. same thing
[03:02] <armdsp> test 1234
[03:02] <inversekinetix> it doesnt nothing more that alienate and exclude many many people
[03:02] <craptasticles> I can boot the first disk that has ubuntu and from there I can mount/browse the windows disk but it just won't let me boot from it
[03:02] <_zach_> _sam_, now i'm home for thanksgiving and idk if it's worthwhile to go thru and figure out the new one for the week i'll be here
[03:02] <armdsp> #ubuntu
[03:02] <_sam_> actually, my wife is the biggest myth user in the house -- so now the tv schedules are another bill i have to pay
[03:03] <_zach_> _sam_, that and I need a new case... sleeping with that thing in my room is hell... it's louder than a jetplane
[03:03] <craptasticles> and the thing is that I let grub configure itself from the live cd
[03:03] <marek_> someone can help me with apt-build?
[03:03] <JPSman> is there any way to do a "transparent" desktop "color" for the 3D cube visual effect?
[03:03] <_sam_> but it's worth it, and it seems like they're doing it for cost
[03:03] <_sam_> pretty cheap!
[03:03] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: is windows on the first partition of the second disk? Does grub point to the disk in the right place? IE hda, hdb, hdc... where is it plugged into your controller? Where does your bios think the disk is?
[03:03] <JPSman> so that I can still see my desktop icons but see through the rest?
[03:03] <_sam_> inversekinetix: what emulator was that?  sounds complicated.
[03:04] <Rev> anyone know off hand a fix for the nvidia drivers 'you appear to be running an X server' error
[03:04] <Whisperkiller> can someone help me with my ati driver automatic installer? https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.42.3-inst.html the instructions dont seem to be working on gutsy x64.  The part im stuck on is getting the automatic installer to run.
[03:04] <marek_> please some one can help me with apt-build?
[03:04] <inversekinetix> _sam_ mame
[03:04] <craptasticles> jimmi_jones: well, now that I think about it, I did see a dellrestore partition and I think another one. How can I tell which partition windows is on?
[03:04] <_sam_> marek_: i think you pick the arch name, which i think must be i386, right?
[03:05] <marek_> i've mobile semptron 3400+, witch procesor i must select in apt-build config?
[03:05] <marek_> _sam_ my procesor is i686 and i like to compile all programs to i686
[03:06] <_zach_> inversekinetix, i wonder if that's why they're 15 versions behind :-P
[03:06] <reya276> How can I find out if my wacom tablet is connected and to what event
[03:06] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: this is just a guess, but they usually put the "restore" partitions as the second partition, about 10 gigs or so
[03:06] <_sam_> inversekinetix: mame's a pretty popular emu, i'm surprised the packages don't make it easier, but i'll admit i've never used mame, so i can't be much help other than to suggest trying the packages, but that's really the first thing anyone tries, and i'm sure you've done that
[03:06] <inversekinetix> yep, thanks, I guess its back to windows
[03:06] <_sam_> marek_: OH.  that must be the mcpu arg for gcc
[03:07] <craptasticles> hm. I booted into Ubuntu and opened computer:///
[03:07] <marek_> _sam_ i would like to use apt-build world, but i don't know witch processor i must select? k6, k8, athlon....
[03:07] <marek_> _sam_ have you ever use apt-build?
[03:07] <craptasticles> It shows a 144.3 GB volume first (windows) then a dellrestore and dellutility.
[03:07] <_sam_> marek_: no, i'm just looking it up in apt-cache.
[03:08] <reya276> How can I find out if my USB Wacom tablet is connected and to what event #?
[03:08] <offseid> Can anyone tell me how automatically login to XChat rather than always having to IDENTIFY to NickServ each time?
[03:08] <soulzz2003> is kubuntu easier to install then ubuntu?
[03:08] <danbhfive> soul: I think they are the same to install
[03:08] <vocx> reya276, I think you must use "lsusb"  What do you mean what "event"?
[03:09] <soulzz2003> reason i ask is.. i've about given up on installing ubuntu... just wont load to desktop
[03:09] <_zach_> offseid, script?
[03:09] <marek_> _sam_ thx, polish users say i must seleckt k7, bye
[03:09] <Fleg> ok, new to irc.  how do i pm
[03:09] <soulzz2003> double click on someones name
[03:09] <danbhfive> soul: I don't think kubuntu will be different I'm afraid
[03:09] <_sam_> marek_: look in the man page for gcc on line 6288
[03:09] <soulzz2003> dan is there anyway around it?
[03:09] <krs1> any ideas on how to 'really' turn off powersaving/screensaver in gutsy?  5 minutes and the screen goes black.  if I come back after 30 minutes, it's hard boot time.
[03:09] <Cpudan80> Fleg: /msg user message
[03:09] <_sam_> marek_: there's a section there that lists the available cpu types, pick the closest
[03:09] <soulzz2003> i really wanted to try out linux.. it worked before, but now its stuck
[03:10] <Cpudan80> soulzz2003: What's so hard about the installer?
[03:10] <Whisperkiller> can someone help me with my ati driver automatic installer? https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.42.3-inst.html the instructions dont seem to be working on gutsy x64.  The part im stuck on is getting the automatic installer to run.
[03:10] <danbhfive> soul: well, maybe the alternative cd would work better, but it sounds like you are having a real problem
[03:10] <Cpudan80> Just double click install and answer the very simple questions
[03:10] <danbhfive> you should file a bug report
[03:10] <offseid> _zach_, what do you mean? is there a script i put in the textbox here? or do i have to creat something somewhere else? (sorry, not very experienced with scripts)
[03:10] <Cpudan80> I'm installing ubuntu right now as a matter of fact
[03:10] <_zach_> offseid, neither am I... it was just an idea... i'd look thru the manual or google
[03:10] <_sam_> soulzz2003: after you hit ctrl-alt-backspace a few minutes ago, did everything come back?  with the panel and desktop icons and stuff
[03:10] <soulzz2003> cpudan, the problem is when i click install from the LiveCD it does it but it hangs at the desktop
[03:10] <marek_> _sam_ how can i go to line 6288?
[03:10] <soulzz2003> _sam_ unfortunately nothing happened
[03:11] <_zach_> offseid, i usually just dont even identify with nickserv... too lazy
[03:11] <danbhfive> how much memory do you have?
[03:11] <soulzz2003> plenty, 2Gigs
[03:11] <Cpudan80> soulzz2003: What are the specs for your computer?
[03:11] <_sam_> marek_: i use page down, but i guess you could type :6288 in the man page viewer
[03:11] <offseid> _zach_, yep that's what i'm doing! i figure someone out here does it and might know...thanks for the idea anyway!
[03:11] <soulzz2003> sli 7800 gt, 4800+ amd athlon x2.. x2 250 GB western digital hdd's, a8n32 sli deluxe mobo
[03:11] <soulzz2003> its almost 2 years old
[03:11] <_sam_> soulzz2003: bummer.  you know i think the installer hang thing happened to me once, on a computer someone was having me fix with a weird cd rom
[03:12] <craptasticles> jimmi_jones: does it matter that it doesn't automatically mount?
[03:12] <Scunizi> offseid, what irc client are you using.?
[03:12] <soulzz2003> cd rom.... that does sound almost identical to that
[03:12] <reya276> well I was follwing this tutorial and it says that if it does not recognize the tablet for /dev/input/wacom to switch it to /dev/input/event#
[03:12] <danbhfive> can you install the 32 bit version?
[03:12] <offseid> Scunizi, XChat
[03:12] <soulzz2003> dan, i was trying to actually
[03:12] <reya276> vocx: well I was follwing this tutorial and it says that if it does not recognize the tablet for /dev/input/wacom to switch it to /dev/input/event#
[03:12] <Scunizi> offseid, and you want it to automatically log you in when you start xchat? with the correct nick?
[03:13] <soulzz2003> i'm not sure though what you mean by 32bit, do you mean the ubuntu install?
[03:13] <offseid> Scunizi, yes that's right
[03:13] <_sam_> soulzz2003: there's a cdrom for the 64 bit version too..
[03:13] <vocx> reya276, it is useful if you post the link to the tutorial and mention other things you've tried. Have you browsed ubuntuforums.org ?
[03:13] <danbhfive> soul: yeah, there is a 32bit version of ubuntu and a 64 bit version
[03:13] <_zach_> soulzz2003, i've had problems on installs for other distros in the past and it was bad cd-r's
[03:13] <Scunizi> offseid, click "xchat" in the upper left corner of xchat, then choose network list
[03:13] <_sam_> just thinking out loud here, what about the text based installer?
[03:13] <soulzz2003> hmmmm
[03:13] <Cglz> hi
[03:13] <_zach_> soulzz2003, now i only use rw's
[03:14] <reya276> vocx: Sorry, I was looking for it (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom)
[03:14] <Scunizi> offseid, got the new window open?
[03:14] <_sam_> it will need to access less data from the cdrom for GUI access and maybe sneak past a media problem
[03:14] <soulzz2003> what about DVD-RW?
[03:14] <Cglz> im a noob at ubuntu and im trying to create my own web server will someone please help me out
[03:14] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: no, you don't have to be able to mount the partition in Ubuntu in order for Grub to boot from it. As a REGULAR USER open up /boot/grub/device.map in gedit and tell us what you see.
[03:14] <_zach_> soulzz2003, cd-rw and dvd-rw's have a different ink and tend to be more reliable burns
[03:14] <offseid> Scunizi, I don't have "xchat" in the upper left corner
[03:14] <reya276> vocx: yes I have this is an issue I've had since Feisty
[03:14] <mike3_> Cglz, tutorials online man.
[03:14] <_zach_> Cglz, try finding a tutorial for "lamp"
[03:14] <mike3_> Cglz, Basically step by step guides.
[03:15] <_sam_> Cglz: that's a little too in-depth for this channel, but i bet there's a thread on the forums about it...
[03:15] <soulzz2003> _zach_ gotcha.
[03:15] <StevenHarperUK_> Cglz: Just in a terminal : sudo apt get install apache2
[03:15] <Scunizi> offseid, are you using xchat for ubuntu now?
[03:15] <StevenHarperUK_> Cglz: then >sudo apache2     to start it
[03:15] <_sam_> Cglz: also listen to StevenHarperUK_
[03:15] <_sam_> ;)
[03:15] <squish102_> !lamp
[03:15] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[03:15] <craptasticles> (hd0)  /dev/sda
[03:15] <craptasticles> (hd1)  /dev/sdb
[03:15] <offseid> Scunizi, do you mean open the Channel List box?
[03:15] <reya276> Jimmi_jones: this webserver will be for you to use locally or do you want this live on the web?
[03:15] <Cglz> i installed LAMP
[03:15] <StevenHarperUK_> Cglz: then stick your files in /var/www/
[03:15] <_zach_> soulzz2003, just a thought...
[03:16] <_zach_> soulzz2003, i missed what you said about x64 and x86?
[03:16] <Scunizi> offseid, no.. if you don't have the standard menu at the top of xchat, press F9
[03:16] <soulzz2003> oh
[03:16] <wucheng> is there any lightweight mail client for my 128 ram computer,?
[03:16] <soulzz2003> _zach_ i have a x64 processor, i figured i'd download the x64 since my processor is that.
[03:16] <_sam_> wucheng: thunderbird too heavy?
[03:16] <_sam_> wucheng: i like kmail, thunderbird, and alpine
[03:16] <offseid> Scunizi, doesn't work - maybe it's a difference between Windows and Linux XChat? I'm on Ubuntu
[03:16] <_zach_> soulzz2003, sounds like the best solution
[03:16] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: it should only be a couple/three/four lines, shouldn't be a problem to post here, but you can pull a private with me if you want to keep the traffic down in here
[03:16] <wucheng> yes ,my cpu is 500M and ram is 128 ,so ..
[03:16] <Cglz> how do i create a mysql database?
[03:17] <Scunizi> offseid, did it show up?  You should have "Xchat / View / Server / Settings / Window / Help .. I'm on ubuntu too.
[03:17] <craptasticles> I already did :)
[03:17] <craptasticles> scroll up a bit
[03:17] <soulzz2003> so _zach_ you think the problem might be a bad CD-R?
[03:17] <sipsipclick> Cglz: mysqladmin create databasename
[03:17] <_sam_> soulzz2003: i agree with that idea
[03:17] <squish102_> what is the best tool to set up samba with writable shares?
[03:17] <_sam_> soulzz2003: what about other apps on the live cd -- try starting firefox or some other app on the cd
[03:17] <offseid> Scunizi, no F9 didn't do anything...on my menu bar I have IRC Edit Network Discussion Go Help
[03:17] <_sam_> squish102_: swat works well
[03:18] <_sam_> squish102_: i also like vi
[03:18] <squish102_> lol _sam_
[03:18] <zeeble> hi. just installed gusty and i have a slight issue.. when i do an aptitude install <package>, i get the following error perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
[03:18] <soulzz2003> _sam_ when i said livecd i meant when i bootup on the livecd and click start/install.  it hangs at the desktop
[03:18] <_sam_> but seriously swat is great
[03:18] <StevenHarperUK_> squish102_: use the SYSTEM |ADMIN | Shared Folders
[03:18] <Cglz> sipsip: I dont find that
[03:18] <Scunizi> offseid, what version of ubuntu?  I've never seen a menu like that.
[03:18] <_sam_> oh, jeez, so modern
[03:18] <Whisperkiller> can someone PLEASE help me? give me some advice?  tell me tough luck? lol
[03:18] <ray_> question, ubuntu is seeing my usb 2.0 ports as usb 1.1 how do i go about fixing that?
[03:18] <offseid> Scunizi, Gutsy - and I'm using xchat-gnome 0.18
[03:18] <boxxertrumps> OH WHY DOES SUDO EXIST??? WHYYYYY!!!!!
[03:18] <squish102_> StevenHarperUK_: the Shared Folders doesnt seem to make them writable... maybe it is my windows client that is a problem
[03:19] <_zach_> soulzz2003, it's just an idea... but then again if it's something else... you can always rewrite the rw :-P
[03:19] <Whisperkiller> im trying to install my ati drivers and i could REALLY use some help
[03:19] <Scunizi> offseid, ah.. ok.. I think I loaded just the standard xchat from synaptic.. hang on.
[03:19] <Cglz> how do i make the www file writeable sorry i know im a noob
[03:19] <offseid> Scunizi, ok
[03:19] <boxxertrumps> what do you need, Whisperkiller?
[03:19] <StevenHarperUK_> squish102_: You have to have READ permissions as the user you log onto samba as
[03:19] <soulzz2003> _zach_ i'm hesitant to do so.. my windows dir is messed up in which it will not allow me to access the internet/
[03:19] <_zach_> soulzz2003, i've also heard things about gentoo having good 64 bit support... but that's just what I've heard
[03:19] <craptasticles> jimmi_jones: did you see my device.map?
[03:19] <soulzz2003> _zach_ whats a could isoburner?
[03:19] <_sam_> Whisperkiller: ati drivers are a pita to install, but i think you've got no bites because it's actually too involved for such a fast moving channel -- i'd try searching the forums
[03:19] <ray_> Whisperkiller: check your restricted drivers
[03:19] <soulzz2003> good*
[03:20] <_sam_> 64 bit people: what still sucks?  flash?  java?
[03:20] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: where was I supposed to see it at?
[03:20] <Whisperkiller> _sam_: i have for days....
[03:20] <Templar> when i installed ubuntu from scratch does it completely format my drive - ie. wipe everything that I had under xp completely?
[03:20] <craptasticles> (hd0)  /dev/sda
[03:20] <craptasticles> (hd1)  /dev/sdb
[03:20] <_stink_> my friend's stock install of gutsy isn't showing CDs under GNOME when they're inserted. Is there something we can check to explain why?
[03:20] <_zach_> Whisperkiller, I've got ati drivers too
[03:20] <boxxertrumps> Templar: it doesn't have too
[03:20] <Whisperkiller> ray_: those crash the system...i have to use the new drivers just posted on ati's website
[03:20] <ray_> ok
[03:20] <vocx> _sam_, there is a 64-bit subforum on ubuntuforums.org You may ask there.
[03:20] <_zach_> Whisperkiller, i've just used the fglrx ones from the "restricted-drivers" manager
[03:21] <_zach_> soulzz2003, ?
[03:21] <StevenHarperUK_> _stink_: is the CDdrive in System | Admin | Hardware info?
[03:21] <Templar> i selected the standard install so would it have then
[03:21] <Whisperkiller> _zach_: have you got a radeon x1950 agp?
[03:21] <_sam_> i use wodim in ubuntu to burn isos, and in windows i use something called "ISO Recorder" which is put out by some dude named alex something-or-other
[03:21] <boxxertrumps> Templar: use gparted on the liveCD to shrink the NTFS partition, then make sure you "install on free space" when installing ubuntu'
[03:22] <ray_> ubuntu is seeing my usb 2.0 ports as usb 1.1 how do i go about fixing that?
[03:22] <_zach_> Whisperkiller, radeon mobility x1300
[03:22] <Cglz> how do you make the www folder writeable
[03:22] <sipsipclick> how well does shrinking NTFS work?
[03:22] <Whisperkiller> there seems to be an issue with ati drivers and the x1950 agp card....even ati says thers a problem with that particular card
[03:22] <soulzz2003> _sam_ i'll give that a try.  thanks
[03:22] <boxxertrumps> i have the x1300 aswell
[03:22] <Scunizi> offseid, I just looked at it.. it's easier to use the standard xchat client then xchat gnome. At least in my experience..  you can install xchat now even though your running xchat gnome
[03:22] <boxxertrumps> sipsipclick: well enough
[03:22] <Templar> thanks
[03:22] <StevenHarperUK_> Cglz: sudo chown -R YOURUSER /var/www
[03:22] <offseid> Scunizi, through Synaptic?
[03:22] <_zach_> Whisperkiller, drivers can suck real hard sometimes on linux
[03:23] <craptasticles> jimmi_jones: pm
[03:23] <boxxertrumps> Templar: you've already gotten ubuntu installed then?
[03:23] <Scunizi> offseid, yes .. just search for xchat and you'll see it a little above the xchat-gnome
[03:23] <V2os> Can someone tell me how to get the newline character in a mastroka video's subtitle to work, instead of just printing itself?
[03:23] <dev_noob> how do I get Ubuntu 7.04 to redetect my video mode capability?
[03:23] <offseid> Scunizi, yeah I saw that I think when I installed this one, assuming a Gnome-specific one would be better - hold on
[03:23] <Templar> ya but puttin it on another machine now
[03:23] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: how is that? try right clicking on my nick and choosing "open dialog window"
[03:24] <boxxertrumps> kk
[03:24] <craptasticles> jimmi_jones: no, I sent you a pm. check your tabs?
[03:24] <astro76> !xconfig | dev_noob
[03:24] <ubotu> dev_noob: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes

[03:24] <ray_> how do i get ubuntu to see my usb2.0 as 2.0 instead of seeing them as usb1.1?
[03:24] <StevenHarperUK_> sudo chown -R YOURUSERNAME /var/www
[03:25] <StevenHarperUK_> should do it
[03:25] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: Yeah, I got that you think you did that, but I don't have anything on this side to show for it.
[03:25] <dev_noob> danke, Astro76
[03:25] <Extravert> Can someone help me get Qualcomm PureVoice (Qclp) codec?
[03:25] <craptasticles> jimmi_jones: wierd. It says I sent you one.

[03:27] <shyko> alguien me puede ayudar a cambiar la resolucion de pantalla en buntu?
[03:27] <Rev> hey whoever was trying to help me with my steam problem
[03:27] <Rev> i ended up fixing it by reverting to an old graphics driver
[03:27] <Extravert> oh Qualcomm isnt supported?
[03:27] <Extravert> sux to b me
[03:27] <Rev> weird
[03:28] <offseid> Scuzini, back
[03:28] <Scunizi> craptasticles, all drives in Gutsy are labeled sda, sdb, sdc etc.. regardless if they are ide or sata
[03:28] <ray_> does anyone know how to change what ubuntu sees for usb
[03:28] <kyleBAKED> Hello, I am getting an error while booting concerning my hard drive and partitions. My system is working fine, I'm not sure what the problem is affecting, but if somone wants to help I can show you my fsck log
[03:28] <Scunizi> offseid, ok,  load it and go through the initial stuff
[03:28] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: it does say that hd1 is /dev/sdb right? That was just a typo? Your windows disk is a stand alone disk, right? On your second controller channel?
[03:28] <offseid> Scunizi, done. I'm in.
[03:28] <craptasticles> shyko: resolucion es en la menu de systema
[03:29] <kyleBAKED> it is along the lines of "unable to resolve uuid= ..."
[03:29] <Scunizi> offseid, you have the window open after clicking xchat?
[03:29] <User2005> I use the other one...
[03:29] <ray_> does gutsy have support for ehci / ohci
[03:29] <craptasticles> ack. I crashed. Yes, that was a typo
[03:29] <offseid> Scunizi, for Network List?
[03:29] <offseid> Scunizi, if so, yes
[03:29] <craptasticles> hd1 /dev/sdb
[03:29] <vocx> ray_, devices are handled by the kernel, why do you think your USB is viewed as 1.1 ?
[03:30] <ray_> i dont know
[03:30] <toresn> how can i remap my caps lock key to other keys (i.e. esc)?
[03:30] <Scunizi> offseid, yes.. ok. in that window type your nick in the first box labeled "Nick Name:"
[03:30] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: and the windows file system you are trying to boot is on a seperate physical disk from Ubuntu, right?
[03:30] <craptasticles> correct
[03:30] <offseid> Scunizi, done
[03:30] <ray_> when i was running widows i didnt have a prob with it seeing it as 2.0
[03:30] <Scunizi> offseid, then in user name type the same thing and your real name in the real name box.
[03:30] <ferrell420> whats up
[03:30] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: How many hard drive channels on your motherboard?
[03:30] <offseid> Scunizi, okay
[03:31] <vocx> ray_, I mean, how do you know for sure? Does it pop  message telling you it is 1.1 and not 2.0?
[03:31] <ferrell420> daaamn
[03:31] <Scunizi> offseid, now in the network list find "Freenode" and highlight it, then click "Edit" to the right.
[03:31] <craptasticles> Jimmi_jones: 4, but only 2 bays. One of the channels is blue and the others are black.
[03:31] <ferrell420> this is wild
[03:31] <offseid> Scunizi, okay, got it....
[03:32] <ray_> no, but in my device manager it calls it a usb 1.1
[03:32] <brandon_> how do I install a tar.bz2
[03:32] <spowers> should i use debootstrap to build a chroot for nfs-booting my ubuntu box?
[03:32] <craptasticles> Jimmi_jones: If I plug the windows drive into the blue port it boots windows. Right now I have the ubuntu disk in it
[03:32] <Scunizi> offseid, in the top of the box under servers for Freenode there is probably "irc.freenode.net" right?
[03:32] <offseid> Scunizi, yes
[03:32] <mneptok> craptasticles: is the Windows disk PATA or SATA?
[03:32] <craptasticles> both sata
[03:32] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: are they paired off, one black with the blue and the other two blacks a bit away?
[03:32] <_zach_> brandon_, extract it and install?
[03:33] <craptasticles> Jimmi_jones: evenly spaced
[03:33] <Scunizi> offseid, highlight that line and click edit.  Change it to chat.freenode.net/8001
[03:33] <craptasticles> in a square shape
[03:33] <brandon_> _zach_: how though?
[03:33] <amir_> Can anyone tell me a good contact management software where you can insert phone meeting notes.. similar to ACT!  ?
[03:33] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: are you plugging the drive with the windows file system into the one closest to the blue one?
[03:33] <offseid> Scunizi, okay done
[03:34] <dissection> Hmm, isn't there vmware in the gutsy repositories? If I remember correctly, it was there in Fiesty
[03:34] <_zach_> brandon_, check the man page for tar
[03:34] <craptasticles> I've tried it in all different ports but that was while grub was running.
[03:34] <_zach_> i want to say it's tar -xjvf
[03:34] <Scunizi> offseid, put a check mark next to "use global", "Use proxy" and "auto connect" lines
[03:34] <_zach_> but i'm probably wrong
[03:34] <riotkittie> brandon_: what exactly are you trying to install?
[03:34] <spowers> anyone got any ideas about nfs-rooting an ubuntu box?  should i start with debootstrap, or is that going to set me up for failure
[03:34] <vocx> ray_, What device manager?   Use "lsusb", "lspci" and "dmesg" and see if it mentions something about it.
[03:34] <offseid> Scunizi, okay done
[03:34] <brandon_> swiftfox
[03:34] <riotkittie> brandon_: a theme or something else?
[03:34] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: do you know your mobo brand/model#
[03:35] <Tixer> I accidentally knocked over my web server HDD while doing maintenance. How do I remount it?
[03:35] <Scunizi> offseid, in "Channels to join" put #ubuntu, and if you want #ubuntu-effects
[03:35] <brandon_> riotkittie: its swiftfox another webbrowser
[03:35] <craptasticles> Jimmi_jones: um... dell? : (
[03:35] <Scunizi> offseid, seperated by a comma
[03:35] <ray_> k
[03:35] <offseid> Scunizi, okay
[03:35] <craptasticles> Jimmi_jones: looking now
[03:35] <JPSman> so uh - in windows Firefox had this wonderful short cut to make the text bigger ....  how can I do that in ubuntu??
[03:35] <Scunizi> offseid, in server password put your password for your registered nick.
[03:35] <Aintaer> control ]?
[03:35] <spowers> JPSman: ctrl +?
[03:36] <JPSman> thank you thank you :OD
[03:36] <spowers> (like, the same thing?)
[03:36] <offseid> Scunizi, and I fill out the NickServ password too right?
[03:36] <Xenguy> toresn: hang on, there is a way, I'll look it up...
[03:36] <Tixer> I accidentally knocked over my web server HDD while doing maintenance. How do I remount it?
[03:36] <riotkittie> brandon_:  err. are you compiling it?
[03:36] <leon_pegg> Anyone know how I could get an nvidia card with 32mb to use compiz (maybe with xgl)
[03:36] <jacob> anybody used systemrescuecd to resize the ubuntu partition?
[03:36] <leon_pegg> I am running gusty
[03:36] <brandon_> no I want to install it on my computer
[03:36] <Aintaer> leon_pegg: which card?
[03:36] <Scunizi> offseid, I haven't had to do that.. it reads it anyway.
[03:36] <Aintaer> Geforce2?
[03:36] <leon_pegg> mmm one sec
[03:36] <brandon_> http://getswiftfox.com/rel-pentium4.htm
[03:37] <leon_pegg> GeForce4
[03:37] <craptasticles> Jimmi_jones: well it's not labeled. lspci wouldn't tell me anything, would it?
[03:37] <riotkittie> brandon_:  if you're sure the executables and such are in it....  <shrug>  tar -xvfj /path/to/archive will extract it
[03:37] <Scunizi> offseid, are you currently talking on xchat-gnome?
[03:37] <Aintaer> Hmm, that seems to be pushing it
[03:37] <offseid> Scunizi, no I think I'm on the regular XChagt
[03:37] <offseid> XChat
[03:37] <zeeble> i keep getting this error : perl: warning: Setting locale failed. and its fallen back to C. Is there a fix for this?
[03:37] <zeeble> or do i have to reconfigure locales?
[03:37] <jacob> anybody knows what channel i belong at if i want to talk about system partionings
[03:38] <Scunizi> offseid, ok. it should be setup.. try disconnecting then reloading xchat and see if it auto connects.
[03:38] <offseid> Scunizi, okay - be right back
[03:38] <Aintaer> You could try System -> Preferences -> Appearances, Visual Effects, Extra
[03:38] <leon_pegg> if i install xserver-xgl all i get is a black screen any ideas how to fix that
[03:38] <Aintaer> Or Custom, and try to see when your card craps out.
[03:38] <Aintaer> That's because your video ram is filled up
[03:39] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: I don't know. In all reality I don't know that much about this. I was just trying to help out with the parts I knew about. As far as I can tell grub is not finding what it expects to on the second hard drive channel of you mobo. Could be because you have it in the wrong place, could be something else. Sorry I am not more help then that.
[03:39] <leon_pegg> why never had problems with feisty
[03:39] <whabo> ok here is my prob i have an AVI file converted it using DEVEDE to a videoDVD iso .. i burned the iso using CD/DVD creator .. but it doesnt run on my DVD player.. and when i run it back on my laptop i get sound but no picture... ANY ideas???? thx
[03:39] <Xenguy> toresn: can you /join #flood ?
[03:39] <Aintaer> Is the entire screen black or are the windows black
[03:39] <ray_> i see usb1-1
[03:39] <FarrisG> Can anyone help me make sense of xrandr? Does it even work in gutsy with restricted nvidia drivers?
[03:39] <leon_pegg> whole screen
[03:39] <Scunizi> whabo, you might try burning with k3b
[03:39] <craptasticles> Jimmi_jones: ok. Thanks for trying though.
[03:39] <Aintaer> what are you doing with the Xgl package?
[03:39] <craptasticles> you gave me some ideas.
[03:40] <leon_pegg> to install it i ran sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl then i loged out and loged back in
[03:40] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: np, I have gotten great help here, so I feel good when I think I can point someone in the right direction
[03:40] <vocx> ray_, can you paste the output of those commands in a pastebin?
[03:40] <vocx> !paste | ray_
[03:40] <ubotu> ray_: 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)
[03:40] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: good luck
[03:40] <craptasticles> ty
[03:40] <Scunizi> craptasticles, you having grub problems?  Does it not load ubuntu?
[03:40] <craptasticles> Scunizi: close. grub doesn't load windows
[03:40] <John_R> grubs are best pickled
[03:41] <Jimmi_jones> craptasticles: You could always investigate LiLo
[03:41] <FarrisG> I've redone my old mame cabinet. Used to run debian, but the install was about 5 years old. So I installed gutsy and everything works great, except I need the display to change to a lower resolution when I run my frontend. My display is 1280x1024, but when I run the frontend I need it to switch to 640x480
[03:41] <Aintaer> leon_pegg: I'd suggest not using Xgl and use AIGLX instead
[03:41] <Aintaer> There is better compatibility with Geforce cards
[03:41] <Scunizi> craptasticles, is windows listed in the grub when you boot?
[03:41] <offseid> Scunizi, tried it but kept getting Incorrect Password. Do I need to bracket it with <>?
[03:41] <leon_pegg> I can't because i only have 32mb of video ram
[03:41] <craptasticles> Jimmi_jones: i just might
[03:41] <craptasticles> scunizi: yes
[03:41] <Aintaer> Well Xgl is crapping out also because of that
[03:41] <John_R> got a good site with howtos for making a mame cabinet?
[03:41] <Scunizi> offseid, shouldn't.. CAPS  make a difference in passwords.  check that
[03:41] <craptasticles> Scunizi: it gives error 21: disk does not exist
[03:41] <FarrisG> xrandr gives me "not large enough for video default"
[03:42] <_zach_> John_R, google
[03:42] <leon_pegg> I think I may go back to fiesty
[03:42] <Xenguy> toresn: if you are there, speak now :-)
[03:42] <offseid> Scunizi, I did. When I did /msg NickServ it accepted my password just fine
[03:42] <leon_pegg> at least there compiz worked
[03:42] <Scunizi> craptasticles, check out http://users/bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm to redo grub.. It might help.
[03:42] <John_R> hah, google. google is more likely to take me to a penis pill site
[03:42] <craptasticles> Scunizi: 404
[03:42] <Jimmi_jones> I have a brand new fresh completely updated 7.10 on my laptop, I want to get the Broadcom 4311 internal chipset working and had no luck with the restricted drivers before, can anyone here help me out?
[03:42] <ray_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45327/
[03:43] <Aintaer> I had compiz once fill up 256megs of graphics ram
[03:43] <Scunizi> offseid, maybe try changing the position of the password from where I told you to the "nickserv" line.
[03:43] <ray_> that is the url in the addy bar
[03:43] <_zach_> John_R, it's all about the right search terms
[03:43] <Aintaer> had to restart the x server
[03:43] <musikgoat> John_R: There is a recommended book on Systm
[03:43] <musikgoat> about MAME cabinets
[03:43] <John_R> musikgoat: got a url?
[03:43] <_zach_> John_R, but I knew this one from a while ago... http://www.arcadeathome.com/
[03:43] <ant-> !bcm43xx | Jimmi_jones
[03:43] <ubotu> Jimmi_jones: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx

[03:43] <John_R> k thx zack, going yther enow
[03:43] <John_R> awesome
[03:43] <leon_pegg> I can't see why compiz that ships with gusty won't work
[03:43] <musikgoat> John_R: no, sorry,  watch Systm  on Revision 3
[03:43] <Scunizi> craptasticles, sorry my misstype.. try  http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm

[03:44] <Aintaer> whabo: your video file probably had encoded audio that needs to be converted to AC3
[03:44] <Aintaer> Certain DVD players will not read burnt DVD discs
[03:45] <offseid> Scuzini, nope, still got incorrect password
[03:45] <Aintaer> Also make sure your sound is turned on
[03:45] <Aintaer> :)
[03:46] <Scunizi> offseid, that's weird..... well you're one step closer! You might google for xchat on irc and see if there is a direct channel for help.. sorry I'm stuck.
[03:46] <offseid> Scuzini, that's okay - thanks for helping me this far - at least I know where it takes place
[03:46] <Scunizi> offseid, one tip though.. when typing a nick, type the first few characters and hit TAB to complete the rest.. work great.
[03:47] <Scunizi> *works
[03:47] <User2005> Whats the best way to get a locked file off your desktop ?
[03:47] <_zach_> yeah until it tab completes to the wrong name
[03:47] <_zach_> which is does for me all the time
[03:47] <dissection> Anyone know why vmware was removed from the repositories in Gutsy?
[03:47] <toresn> Xenguy: hi, i'm here now :)
[03:48] <whabo> are there better burning tool than CD/DVD creator .... ??? i really need to burn this videoDVD iso file but it wont work on my DVD player using cd/DVD creator... :(
[03:48] <Xenguy> toresn: ahh, OK...
[03:48] <Cpudan80> Hello all
[03:48] <Scunizi> User2005, you could get to a terminal and type gksudo nautilus and delete it form there.  Then close the nautilus window cause it has root privlidgs
[03:48] <User2005> I should try that...
[03:48] <Cpudan80> I am trying to install compiz on Gutsy -- and it says I need to enable the restricted ATi driver
[03:48] <Cpudan80> But ehh - it doesn't show up in the restricted driver thing...
[03:49] <whabo>  are there better burning tool than CD/DVD creator .... ??? i really need to burn this videoDVD iso file but it wont work on my DVD player using cd/DVD creator... :(PS. i created the Iso using DEVEEDE from a .AVI file.
[03:49] <vocx> ray_, wow that's a huge dmesg. Exactly what is the device you wish to use? A Joystick? I can't really tell. But this seems like some hardware kernel stuff. Better browse the net for some answers. Good luck.
[03:49] <ray_> thanks
[03:50] <Cpudan80> Anybody have any ideas as to why it wouldn't show up?
[03:50] <Wifi-Phreak> Can anyone tell me the best way to burn a cd image with something other than k3b
[03:50] <Wifi-Phreak> ?
[03:50] <ray_> i am trying to sift through my kernel and get everything right, and get rid of things that arent important
[03:50] <_zach_> whabo, google
[03:50] <_zach_> whabo, there's a LOT of burning programs
[03:50] <boxxertrumps> sorry to say, but k3b is the best way
[03:50] <boxxertrumps> IMO
[03:50] <_zach_> whabo, you can even use commandline ones
[03:50] <John_R> good luck ray. tried to compile a decent feisty kernel for an amd k6 chip about a month ago, no good
[03:51] <ray_> but my real problem is is getting every damned periphial so i can
[03:51] <_zach_> whabo, check synaptic for "burning" and it'll show up with a lot
[03:51] <mneptok> ray_: why bother?
[03:51] <vocx> ray_, what is your motherboard?
[03:51] <ray_> a list of every periphial for my compy
[03:51] <_wall> interest
[03:51] <ray_> its a panasonic toughbook
[03:51] <ray_> cf-51 mk-1
[03:51] <vocx> !enter | ray_
[03:51] <ubotu> ray_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:51] <vocx> mneptok, what do you mean?
[03:52] <mneptok> ray_: my guess is that any performance improvements have now been made moot by the time you've spent trying to get it working
[03:52] <ray_> your probly right.
[03:52] <mneptok> vocx: i mean that streamlining a kernel will save you 10m in time over the life of a computer. and you'll spend 10 hours working on it.
[03:53] <User2005> What a good burning program ?
[03:53] <sipsipclick> i like gnomebaker
[03:53] <boxxertrumps> K3B
[03:53] <vocx> mneptok, and ubuntu kernels are optimized enough I suppose.
[03:54] <User2005> givin that a try
[03:54] <Cpudan80> Hrm
[03:54] <ray_> they are, i remember my first interaction with linux was slack ware and i still dont know alot, but i thought i could handle it
[03:54] <ray_> and got my ass handed to me lol
[03:54] <dissection> Anyone know why vmware was removed from the repositories in Gutsy?
[03:54] <Cpudan80> So... ATI drivers don't show up under restricted drivers (even though I have an ATI card) -- how can I add them?
[03:54] <vocx> ray_, you cannot use the word A$$ in here
[03:55] <ray_> sorry military coming out in me
[03:55] <nevhood> Hi everyone, is there a guide available for dual-booting Ubuntu and Vista?
[03:55] <aladinsane> Is there a way to install Real Player from Synaptic Package Manager in Gutsy? Do i need to add a new repository maybe, cause i cant find it.
[03:55] <Wifi-Phreak> How do you burn an iso image with gnomebaker?
[03:55] <vocx> nevhood, I'm pretty sure there is like a million
[03:55] <sipsipclick> Wifi-Phreak, Tools->Burn CD Image
[03:56] <vocx> Wifi-Phreak, very easy, you'll find out before I finish writing this response
[03:56] <Wifi-Phreak> HAha thanks
[03:57] <Cpudan80> Oh wait a minute
[03:57] <Cpudan80> I was missing a damn repo
[03:57] <Eric> my mouse and keyboard keep locking up.  Could someone help me out?
[03:57] <meta4ical> Could anyone help me get my Radeon x800 pro working under Ubuntu 7.10, I tried the restricted drivers but got a black screen, also tried ENVY and got a white screen. Here's my thread on the ubuntu forums if anyone could help -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3792186#post3792186
[03:58] <vocx> aladinsane, interesting question. I haven't heard of real player in years.
[03:58] <_zach_> i've always hated realplayer
[03:58] <Evanlec> me 2 ;p
[03:58] <pr1r> ok i would like to thank everyone who helped... i got my nvidia geforce fx 5200 agp video card working on ubuntu now... im only using 1 video card and my other monitor is flashing all of these colors... how do i get the other monitor to work?   thank you in advance!
[03:58] <_zach_> bloated ugly and has a tendency to ruin things
[03:59] <Evanlec> pr1r, run nvidia-settings ?
[03:59] <Wifi-Phreak> Check out www.Ogle.i8.com - a new search engine powered by Google
[03:59] <musikgoat> yeah right
[03:59] <_zach_> prlr: keep it.. the second flashy monitor will be great when you have sweet rave parties
[03:59] <Drake> can anyone help me with installing Neverwinter nights without it jumping to WINE every time and not giving me a security error (security something cant be activated)
[03:59] <pr1r> lol
[03:59] <pr1r> its shit brown and teal, lol
[03:59] <Evanlec> mm
[03:59] <Evanlec> is that for real?
[03:59] <aladinsane> vocx: the linux version is actually pretty good, but i would like to install it via synaptic
[04:00] <_zach_> prlr: scat parties?
[04:00] <pr1r> hahaha
[04:00] <pr1r> 2 girls one computer

[04:00] <ubotu> pr1r _zach_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[04:00] <_zach_> haha
[04:00] <_zach_> oops
[04:00] <pr1r> what did we say?
[04:00] <pr1r> oooh i see
[04:00] <_zach_> yeah
[04:00] <pr1r> im from nyc those words are commas
[04:00] <_zach_> i'm in college
[04:00] <_zach_> i cuss like a sailor
[04:01] <pr1r> hahahha
[04:01] <aladinsane> does anybody know of a repo with Real Player?
[04:01] <_zach_> there's realplayer equivalent codecs you can get
[04:01] <_zach_> though i forgot where
[04:01] <Eric> Evanlec: think you could help figure out my mouse/keyboard problem?
[04:01] <User2005> give that 3kb a try first...
[04:01] <Drake> how do i exacue a .run file???
[04:01] <Evanlec> Eric, i can try
[04:01] <Drake> execute *
[04:01] <_zach_> bash ./foo.run
[04:02] <Evanlec> Drake, 'sh file.run'
[04:02] <vocx> aladinsane, so ... you aren't sure if a package exists. It isn't in partners repositories?
[04:02] <_zach_> assuming it has the proper permissions
[04:02] <Evanlec> Drake, probably need to use sudo for that too
[04:02] <Drake> yea
[04:02] <_zach_> ls -l | grep *.run
[04:02] <Eric> Evanlec: it seems that it locks up randomly but has always done it when going into a web browser (Epiphany or Firefox).
[04:02] <_zach_> and you'll see if it has eXecutability
[04:03] <Evanlec> Eric, which, they keyboard or the mouse?
[04:03] <sipsipclick> Drake, "chmod +x file.run && ./file.run"
[04:03] <sdit> test
[04:03] <aladinsane> vocx: no as i said, at least i cant find it in synaptic, is there a site maybe where you can do searches in different repositories?
[04:03] <_zach_> icle
[04:03] <dwf_starband2> i have a usb device that came with windows software and windows drivers, can I use the drivers and the software through wine if I cant find any linux info on them?
[04:03] <User2005> back to the Legacy drivers...
[04:03] <Eric> Evanlec: first the mouse will stop, but the keyboard will have functionality for just a bit more (I have alt+f4'd and and ctrl-s [saved] before losing function of the keyboard as well)
[04:04] <sdit> i need help
[04:04] <Evanlec> Eric, sounds to me like the computer is locking up, not just the mouse/keyboard
[04:04] <Eric> But immediately after that the keyboard stops and the computer speaker (internal one) will just beep if I press any combos.
[04:04] <sipsipclick> dwf_starband2, what device do you need drivers for?
[04:04] <Eric> Evanlec: Actually, the keyboard is still working right now...
[04:04] <Eric> The mouse has stopped.
[04:04] <dwf_starband2> an asix presto programmer
[04:05] <sdit> how install ip pixma1000?
[04:05] <dwf_starband2> its for programming pic microcontrolers
[04:05] <dwf_starband2> it can actually program a multitude of controllers i just have a pic to learn with
[04:05] <Eric> I can still select and open things on the desktop.
[04:06] <Extravert> whats the codec to play Qualcomm audio for quicktime?

[04:07] <mico> hi
[04:07] <dwf_starband2> i would actually rather use it natively in linux, but havent found any info on it
[04:07] <Eric> Evanlec: and the mouse isn't losing its connection (Logitech G7) because the resolution does not revert to default
[04:07] <tummyacid> hello everyone!  i just cleared a new partition and ive copied the contents of /home over to it with cp -Rp /home/* /new/partition/just/formatted/and/mounted but i cannot get ubuntu to automatically mount it as /home.  I have tried editing the /etc/fstab file/
[04:07] <vocx> aladinsane, well it appears there was a realplayer in the repositories long ago. What a strange issue. Seems like there is no package of it now. As I tell you, I don't really care but it's strange nevertheless.
[04:07] <mico> can anybody help me out in configuring ldap server and clients in gutsy ?
[04:07] <mico> please
[04:08] <mico> any url ?
[04:08] <User2005> anything else going on ?
[04:08] <sipsipclick> dwf_starband2, i doubt that will work.  i used vmware workstation with my pickit
[04:08] <dwf_starband2> ok, how does usb work with vmware? I have an xp install on vmware server
[04:09] <Evanlec> Eric, im not sure what u mean
[04:09] <mico> guys I have tried and is working well virtualbox instead of vmware
[04:09] <tummyacid> brb
[04:09] <mico> virtualbox is free
[04:09] <mico> has only one version
[04:09] <Evanlec> tummyacid, if u want, pastebin your fstab and i'll take a look, i just did the same procedure
[04:10] <Eric> Evanlec: the G7 has three DPI resolutions you can change on the fly with LED indicators.  When it loses the wireless connection it'll revert to the default one (middle setting).
[04:10] <_zach_> Evanlec, i'm considering the same... I just reformatted mine... only i put it on a new machine and copied over using rsync
[04:11] <aladinsane> vocx: ok dont know why it seems so strange to you, but ok, i guess it's not totally neccessary for me to use exactly real player, i just need a slick rtps player that integrates with opera, what do you use then?
[04:11] <Evanlec> Eric, oh i see
[04:11] <Evanlec> _zach_, yea its a good idea, and rsync is great
[04:11] <vocx> aladinsane, I use nothing. Hence why it is strange business. I just read some "helix" stuff?
[04:11] <Jimmi_jones_> ant: had to go with the alternative ndiswrapper method linked to from the wiki link, but it is working finally. I am posting this from the laptop.
[04:11] <jarrod_> is there a reason why i wouldnt have the recovry terminal?
[04:12] <Eric> Evanlec: so is there any way (using just a keyboard) to somehow "restart" my mouse or something...or otherwise just figure out whats up?
[04:12] <sipsipclick> dwf_starband2, i don't know about server version but usb works with the workstation and player version.  wikipedia claims virtualbox opensource edition doesn't support USB, btw
[04:13] <Tixer> Help! I have an external USB HDD plugged in, and it's not mounting. How do I mount it? Partition is NTFS
[04:13] <Evanlec> Eric, its a tough one, was it working after you first installed ubuntu?
[04:13] <jarrod_> is the fail safe terminal the same as the recorvy terminal?
[04:13] <Evanlec> jarrod_, prty much
[04:13] <Evanlec> !ntfs | Tixer
[04:13] <ubotu> Tixer: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE
[04:13] <Eric> Evanlec: Yep.  Worked from the start.  It just has these moments every once in a while (which so far have always been in a browser...maybe just a coincidence)
[04:14] <Eric> Evanlec: No issues in Vista or XP, unplugging and reseating the dongle does nothing at all.
[04:14] <dwf_starband2> ok ill try installing the drivers and software in vmware, dont know why i hadnt thought of that, guess i just wanted it to work naturally in linux, thanks

[04:14] <Evanlec> jarrod_, no idea
[04:14] <sipsipclick> mico, what do you mean working?
[04:15] <aladinsane> vocx: ok, i'll keep on looking. by the way, the meaning of Hence is therefore ;)
[04:15] <Evanlec> Eric, okay but it was never not having these "moments" correct?
[04:15] <Jimmi_jones_> vocx: compaq c714nr Broadcom 4311
[04:15] <tummyacid> does ubuntu use /etc/fstab like most other linux's?
[04:15] <mico> well... i've tried some tutorials i fond, but didn't work :(
[04:15] <Evanlec> tummyacid, yes
[04:15] <squish102_> why when trying to connect through samba from a windows box the username is grayed out and it says guest?
[04:15] <Eric> Evanlec: Right.  Was fine in Feisty though.
[04:15] <vocx> aladinsane, I type then delete and type again and delete again
[04:15] <mico> sipsipclick well... i've tried some tutorials i fond, but didn't work :(
[04:15] <pyrak> how do i connect to a password-protected network with wifi radar
[04:16] <Evanlec> Eric, im not sure, i would search the forums first
[04:16] <sipsipclick> mico, keep trying.  i've used openldap in lots of ways successfully
[04:16] <tummyacid> must be some kind of trick to making fstab recognize sata partitions... all three lines for my hd are commented out in /etc/fstab
[04:16] <Eric> Evanlec: Eh...any ideas what to use for a search term?  lol
[04:16] <aladinsane> vocx: ok keep up the good work. good nighty
[04:16] <Evanlec> tummyacid, if you like, pastebin your fstab file
[04:17] <Evanlec> Eric, yea: gutsy keyboard mouse freeze
[04:17] <albech> is there a way to open docx files in openoffice?
[04:17] <_zach_> magic
[04:17] <mico> sipsipclick ok
[04:17] <pyrak> anyone have experience connecting to an encrypted wifi network with wifi radar?
[04:18] <swarm> hey all. How do I copy a DVD in Gutsy?
[04:18] <Bruno_> is there an RSS news visualizer that displays the feeds on your desktop, or in a screensaver, like on macs?
[04:18] <JoeError> anyone know a way to basically put a "new user" button on the gdm login screen?
[04:18] <Azrael24> hi guys...I'm looking for a tv tuner card to make my computer a multimedia center with 7.10 - question is, what's a good tv tuner card that works with GG, and supports closed caption? (I'm deaf btw) any suggestions?
[04:18] <gnychis> is there any reason why NetworkManager should be taking 25-80% CPU?
[04:18] <Evanlec> Azrael24, ive heard the hauppegauge ones are good
[04:18] <Bruno_> is there an RSS news visualizer that displays the feeds on your desktop, or in a screensaver, like on macs?
[04:18] <Azrael24> and supports closed caption?
[04:18] <swarm> Yeah, Azrael24, Haupage WinTV. Supports CC
[04:18] <ouellettesr> mike3_: you there?
[04:19] <genesis> can modifying the xorg file in anyway even from the graphics card being installed cause a machine to lock up or freeze randomly?
[04:19] <Azrael24> I keep coming across Haupage...seems like the way to go
[04:19] <Azrael24> thanks fellas
[04:19] <pipelineaudio> is CC just in software or is a real part of the hardware dsp of the video card?
[04:19] <swarm> the 1800 series i use on 7.10
[04:19] <Azrael24> swarm...you want to know how to copy a dvd in gutsy?  I u se KB
[04:19] <jarrod_> why dont i get the option to run the recovery terminal on reboot?
[04:19] <swarm> KB?
[04:19] <Tixer> Nothing says "fun times!" like 60 gigs of server data loss.
[04:19] <dwf_starband2> Azrael24: i would look at the mythtv website and their wiki has lots of info on hardware and what it does, mythbuntu is also an excelent way to go if your looking for the dvr capibilities through your computer
[04:19] <cronik> hell evreryone
[04:20] <cronik> everyone
[04:20] <Bruno_> is there an RSS news visualizer that displays the feeds on your desktop, or in a screensaver, like on macs?
[04:20] <troxor> swarm: k9copy
[04:20] <nfusco> Hey all, im after coming back to ubuntu after a few releases, Ive just installed Gutsy on a Dell Inspiron 8500, On first load after install it prompts me about restricted driver, byt when i try to enable them, it doesnt allow me.  The drivers are for Nvidia accelerated graphics and firmware for broadcom 43xx chipset family, can any shed any light on this for me? thanks
[04:20] <Evanlec> Bruno_, good question! i want one too ;p
[04:20] <swarm> does it support 2 drives, troxor?
[04:20] <tummyacid> fstab file at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45329/  i want to mount /dev/sda2 to /home, but /mnt will do
[04:21] <njdube> I created an encrypted (ext3) partition for /home with the YAST tool in openSUSE 10.2.  How can I access it from ubuntu if I switch over?
[04:21] <Azrael24> swarm...k9copy all the way
[04:21] <cronik> im no the type of guy who just like to come in here and get some easy answers,but i need my ubuntu up and running,is my working laptop
[04:21] <swarm> sweet :)
[04:21] <troxor> swarm: on the fly? I believe so, but I only have 1
[04:21] <Lunz> doest anyone know how to install compiz fusion icon?
[04:21] <swarm> installing
[04:21] <Bruno_>  Evanlec: yeah thats a veru nice app
[04:21] <swarm> Lunz: what do you mean?
[04:21] <Azrael24> did a few with k9copy...no problem whatsoever
[04:21] <swarm> an icon to start compiz?
[04:21] <swarm> or the compiz manager?
[04:21] <_zach_> cronik, what's the problem?
[04:21] <cronik> my problems is that i get an error sying thet my mac address is not valid,report it my vendor
[04:21] <Lunz> swarm,icon to start the compiz
[04:21] <cronik> is just stops there
[04:22] <Lunz> swarm,both
[04:22] <cronik> that*
[04:22] <_zach_> hmm
[04:22] <Lunz> swarm,icon and ccsm
[04:22] <swarm> Lunz: check the tutorials, that is well covered - I don't know the commands off my head and you have the same ability to google them
[04:22] <cronik> the funny thing is that sometime it boots some time i dont
[04:22] <cronik> another issue that i was having was the sound
[04:22] <Bruno_> is there an RSS news visualizer that displays the feeds on your desktop, or in a screensaver, like on macs?
[04:23] <Evanlec> tummyacid, i would try uncommenting your UUID lines, use blkid to grab the uuid's for your drives, and stick them in there
[04:23] <Lunz> !compiz
[04:23] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[04:23] <swarm> that would be neat, Bruno_
[04:23] <_zach_> cronik, is this 7.10?
[04:23] <cronik> yes
[04:23] <ouellettesr> hello I am trying to do a remote assistance connection with a friend who sent me a request by emai, the request is in xml form, how do I use this link?
[04:23] <tummyacid> blkid eh? ill try thank you, evanlec
[04:23] <jarrod_> anyone ever tried to sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/ ( cuz i did and broke sudo )
[04:24] <luddite> hey all, (FYI i've RTM, and googled already) how do I use tftp to upload a flash to my linksys.. i've tried the following: tftp 192.168.1.1 PUT dd-wrt.v24)micro)wrt54gv8.bin and i just get a tftp prompt..
[04:24] <cronik> why would u do that jarrod
[04:24] <Javid> is there a way to rig ubuntu up to work with a 1 button mouse?
[04:24] <PirateHead> I'm not usre what it is about the Ogle DVD player, but it beats the shit out of Mplayer.
[04:24] <cronik> zach u there
[04:24] <PirateHead> I always get depressed at how much Totem sucks.
[04:24] <Azrael24> swarm...what were you referring about 'compiz'?  w hat'd you want to know about it?
[04:24] <Javid> I just use vlc
[04:24] <Azrael24> vlc is pretty simple and effective
[04:25] <cronik> anyone have the same issue ore came across an issue like that
[04:25] <vocx> PirateHead, no curse words here please
[04:25] <swarm> Azrael24: nothing. Lunz wanted to know
[04:25] <mneptok> PirateHead: language, please
[04:25] <cronik> invalid MAC address at boot up
[04:25] <PirateHead> Javid: Ogle is great - better than vlc. Vlc is great too, but Ogle does DVDs like a pro.
[04:25] <Azrael24> sorry...kinda hard to keep track
[04:25] <PirateHead> What did I say?
[04:25] <_zach_> cronik, sorry ... multitasking
[04:25] <cronik> no pro
[04:25] <Javid> vlc shows the moving pictures on my screen, I don't know what else is needed
[04:25] <Azrael24> Pirate...heh...I'm having a sense of DejaVu...don't take it seriously, it's happened to me and I've been booted out of here
[04:25] <mneptok> PirateHead: it beats the *what* out of mPlayer?
[04:26] <tummyacid> ok now /etc/fstab at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45330/ sudo mount -a yields "[mntent]: line 6 in /etc/fstab is bad"
[04:26] <Javid> mneptok, the word you seek is "shit"
[04:26] <Azrael24> you said the $ word...*gasps*!
[04:26] <PirateHead> Javid: Ogle skips forward and back faster, it lets you jump to the various menus, gives you all the right multimedia buttons.
[04:26] <_zach_> cronik, i'm assuming you already hit google and all that... because I'm kinda clueless on this
[04:26] <cronik> yea man
[04:26] <KI4IKL> Is there a alsa 1.0.15 in backports?
[04:26] <_zach_> cronik, where is it saying this?
[04:26] <PirateHead> mneptok: Is #ubuntu supposed to be 11-year old friendly, or what?
[04:26] <cronik> have 2 dy trying to figure this one out bro
[04:26] <swarm> k9copy is copying :)
[04:26] <mikeo1> glxinfo|grep vendor    server glx vendor string: is SGI  when i have an NVIDIA card, how do i change it back?
[04:26] <_zach_> cronik, is it network-manager?
[04:26] <Javid> anywhoo
[04:26] <swarm> hope it works well :)
[04:26] <dinkle> hey what is the best way to REinstall ubuntu on the same exact partition without screwing up grub from reading vista?
[04:26] <mneptok> PirateHead: yes.
[04:26] <Azrael24> swarm...it's a good one
[04:26] <mikeo1> its an nvidia gf4 mx 440 agp card
[04:26] <cronik> i manage to fix everything ,just have that in the to do list
[04:26] <Javid> I have a one button mouse and I have no way to rightclick, is there a way around this?
[04:27] <cronik> no
[04:27] <swarm> hey Azrael24, fyi i have the hauupage wintv card
[04:27] <mneptok> Javid: ctl-click
[04:27] <jarrod_> how do you use the recovery consol???????
[04:27] <cronik> i can pass the boot screen
[04:27] <Azrael24> Pirate...I've learned that the fellas in here are trying to promote Ubuntu in the best, and most positive light
[04:27] <dinkle> should i just redo it from the live cd??
[04:27] <luddite> ....hello
[04:27] <craptasticles> Scunizi?
[04:27] <cronik> wen i press f5 i see the error "invalid mac address
[04:27] <luddite> do i just type tftp
[04:27] <Azrael24> swarm - oh?  and it works just fine with 7.10?  have you tried it with mythtv?
[04:27] <luddite> and then connect to the ip
[04:27] <PirateHead> Javid: You could certainly write a script to allow button holds + clicks to register as middle clicks, right clicks, and so on.
[04:27] <luddite> select the mode?
[04:27] <swarm> I havn't tried it on 7.10 honestly
[04:27] <luddite> ascii versus binary?
[04:28] <swarm> i rarely use it
[04:28] <Javid> PirateHead, you overestimate my coding skills, of which there are none
[04:28] <swarm> i used it to record my TV shows before i got a DVR
[04:28] <Javid> ctrl-click doesn't work either
[04:28] <cronik> another problem is a acpi bug in the hp laptop that im trying to find a work around
[04:28] <cronik> but no luj so far
[04:28] <Azrael24> swarm...you could consider making your system a multimedia down the road
[04:28] <cronik> the sound wont work with a dual boot
[04:28] <luddite> anyone here a tftp user/ or wrt54g hacker
[04:28] <PirateHead> Javid: Is it entirely unhelpful to suggest that you buy yourself a cheap $8 two-button mouse with a scroll wheel?
[04:28] <swarm> Azrael24: I already have a multimedia system
[04:29] <tummyacid> luddite: ive had good success with wrt54g, are you using white russian?
[04:29] <dinkle> does anyone help anyone in here for the love of god
[04:29] <craptasticles> Jimmi_jones: I got my grub problem fixed!
[04:29] <Javid> PirateHead, the issue is that I have a tablet pc with a pen with just one button
[04:29] <swarm> luddite: i have a wrt54g - what cool can be done with it?
[04:29] <mattgyver83> Hey room, why does ubuntu recognize my wireless connection as Eth1 and a wired connection and how can i fix this?
[04:29] <luddite> TUMMY, a kindred soul
[04:29] <cronik> anyone can help,getting an error and cant boot up "invalid mac address
[04:29] <luddite> my long term goal is OpenVPN
[04:29] <Javid> PirateHead, using a mouse would defeat the purpose of the tablet thing
[04:29] <luddite> but right now i'm trying to flash a V8
[04:29] <craptasticles> Bios had the extra sata ports turned off.
[04:29] <PirateHead> Javid: in that case, command keys wouldn't help either, would they?
[04:29] <Azrael24> swarm...I see...want to sell it? heh
[04:29] <sipsipclick> swarm, depending on your version you can install customized linux firmware on it
[04:29] <luddite> after i load the vxworksbinkiller
[04:29] <JPSman> !install
[04:30] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[04:30] <Azrael24> I'm c urrently looking up my computer store for haupage cards
[04:30] <PirateHead> Javid: You are correct on that point. It sounds like gestures would be the best option.
[04:30] <luddite> i'm trying to flash the wrt54gv8.bin file.
[04:30] <Javid> PirateHead, on windows a click and hold makes a rightclick, but I dunno how to rig that up
[04:30] <swarm> Azrael24: Email me at talntid@gmail.com and  remind me. I'll get it out of the box tomorrow :)
[04:30] <luddite> the command i used is posted on the forums for dd-wrt and it didn't work
[04:30] <JPSman> where is the information about installing anything in ubuntu?
[04:30] <Azrael24> swarm...how old is it?  if you don't mind
[04:30] <craptasticles> Thanks for the help. And thanks to whoever gave me the link!
[04:30] <sipsipclick> i'm trying to decide between the wrt54gl and a routerboard 133
[04:30] <mneptok> JPSman: like ... ?
[04:30] <swarm> about 4 months
[04:30] <cronik> guys, really need ur help here
[04:30] <swarm> its a 1800 series i believe
[04:30] <luddite> did you first execute tftp and then connect to 192.168.1.1
[04:30] <cronik> im about to go crazy
[04:30] <cronik> lol
[04:31] <luddite> while wrt54g was booting..
[04:31] <Azrael24> oh nice...fairly recent
[04:31] <cronik> love ubuntu but sometimes i just want to cry
[04:31] <vocx> !packages | JPSman
[04:31] <ubotu> JPSman: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[04:31] <swarm> http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_hvr1800.html
[04:31] <Lunz> !git
[04:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about git - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:31] <tummyacid> luddite: make sure the server is running, then you can connect
[04:31] <swarm> that one ^
[04:31] <PirateHead> Javid: I've been lead to believe that touchscreen support pretty much sucks in Ubuntu -- there's probably a way you can figure stuff out with enough scripting, but I've never heard of a program that lets you configure everything to magically work with a pen input device,
[04:31] <luddite> i was watching the pings and then tried to execute cmd line 192.168.1.1 put dd-wrt.v24_micro_wrt54gv8.bin
[04:31] <Lunz> how to install from git?
[04:31] <sipsipclick> swarm, check the openwrt website to find out more
[04:31] <JPSman> thanks anyway
[04:31] <mneptok> Lunz: install what?
[04:31] <_zach_> cronik, can you trace where this error msg comes from?
[04:31] <luddite> does it matter how long I wait after boot?
[04:32] <_zach_> cronik, i get the feeling something misconfigured by default
[04:32] <PirateHead> Javid: I believe that the Ubuntu Mobile slash Gnome Mobile initiatives are somewhat meant to remedy that, but in the meantime probably the best thing you'll find is some janky beta software. :-(
[04:32] <WorkingOnWise> what themes will allow me to make ubuntu look most like vista or xp media center, but not break apps like open office and firefox.
[04:32] <Javid> PirateHead, it does suck, many many penors. I'm tempted to nuke the dualboot and just stick to XP on the thing
[04:32] <luddite> i'm trying to figure out the sequence of events.
[04:32] <_zach_> cronik, oooooooooooooh... i bet it's a driver
[04:32] <_zach_> cronik, wireless probably
[04:32] <mneptok> WorkingOnWise: http://art.gnome.org
[04:32] <cronik> yea,it looks like the mac address keeps on changing
[04:32] <luddite> reboot, then tftp, then connect to 192.168.1.1
[04:32] <JPSman> ah - it was this   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=500020
[04:32] <luddite> then mode binary
[04:32] <_zach_> cronik, changing mac?
[04:32] <cronik> yea
[04:32] <luddite> then put "file"
[04:32] <swarm> you see that link, Azrael24?
[04:32] <luddite> correct?
[04:32] <cronik> im using ndiswrapper
[04:32] <PirateHead> Javid: If you're only using it as a tablet, never sitting down with a mouse and so on, I think that Linux just isn't going to give you as good an experience as Windows. The software just isn't there -- and where it is, it isn't very mature or well-tested.
[04:32] <cronik> ye
[04:32] <cronik> yea
[04:32] <nfusco> How can I get the restricted drivers if its for wireless card? can I put them on locally?
[04:32] <tummyacid> if i remember correctly, yu kill power, run tftp, then power up the unit and it will check for the tftp server
[04:32] <_zach_> cronik, ndis... ehhhhh
[04:32] <Lunz> mneptok,compiz fusion icon
[04:33] <luddite> I do have white russian on a v2 linksys
[04:33] <cronik> i google up couple of threads
[04:33] <_zach_> cronik, i used that in the past for my bcm43xx card
[04:33] <Azrael24> I did...I quickly browsed it, thanks
[04:33] <mikeo1> lol someone doing cisco here with tftp?
[04:33] <mneptok> Lunz: from git?
[04:33] <cronik> but all of them have to do while they are log in to the pc
[04:33] <luddite> but do not use it as my ISP router/firewall
[04:33] <Azrael24> locallly there's a 1600 series
[04:33] <Azrael24> for $110
[04:33] <cronik> not while booting up
[04:33] <cronik> yup
[04:33] <cronik> yea
[04:33] <Lunz> mneptok,then how?you have other way?
[04:33] <swarm> i don't know any if the differences
[04:33] <mneptok> Lunz: git is a distributed VCS tool. i fail to see how you'd use it to install icons.
[04:33] <luddite> well kind of if you call Linksys Cisco
[04:33] <cronik> i got a new hp dv2000
[04:33] <swarm> i got this one for like $120.
[04:33] <swarm> if i remember correctly
[04:34] <Inverse> does anyone know much about ubunutu/linux gaming
[04:34] <Inverse> ?
[04:34] <Lunz> mneptok,so tell me how to install compiz fusion icon?
[04:34] <swarm> i used it with my projector and harman kardon 7.1 surround system until someone decided they wanted it more than me
[04:34] <PirateHead> Inverse: I know some. What are you interested in?
[04:34] <_zach_> Inverse, wine/cedega is pretty much it
[04:34] <mneptok> Lunz: just the icon? no actual app?
[04:34] <luddite> I use Cedega for all my linux gaming
[04:34] <WorkingOnWise> mneptok: i went there..it seems some of the themes there are not complete, but dont say "if u use this then u cant use open office because i was too lazy to make all the needed icons" any resource i can use to sift thru the junk without goind all day not able to use openoffice for a few missing icons?
[04:34] <_zach_> there's native stuff but it's never all that awesome
[04:34] <vocx> Inverse, there is information on games on ubuntuforums.org and other Gamers Arena page
[04:34] <swarm> cedega costs $$, right?
[04:34] <luddite> you can use wine too
[04:35] <Inverse> _zach_ i get nothing but biggotry and condescension in the wine channel
[04:35] <_zach_> if you can get into the cvs it's free
[04:35] <luddite> cedega costs yes
[04:35] <swarm> is it worth the $$?
[04:35] <_zach_> Inverse, some linux people are a little... aloof
[04:35] <tummyacid> i play WoW with wine and it looks better i think
[04:35] <swarm> what games have you played with cedega?
[04:35] <luddite> Well, i only play GW and CS Source.. so yeah
[04:35] <meta4ical> Could anyone help me get my Radeon x800 pro working under Ubuntu 7.10, I tried the restricted drivers but got a black screen, also tried ENVY and got a white screen. Here's my thread on the ubuntu forums if anyone could help -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3792186#post3792186
[04:35] <Azrael24> I'm able to play some games with WINE
[04:35] <_zach_> Inverse, i tried source... wasn't impressed
[04:35] <Inverse> _zach_, not aloof, just rude and condescending
[04:35] <LadyNikon> i need to get eve online working
[04:35] <luddite> I have played Diablo II
[04:35] <Likuid_Silence> sup everyone
[04:35] <luddite> baldur's gate
[04:35] <Azrael24> haven't bothered to try cedgra yet
[04:35] <luddite> adn WOW
[04:35] <PirateHead> Inverse: Cedega is always there if you're willing to pay a bit. You gotta give the Wine guys a break, though -- they generally understand their limitations and you have to understand that they're volunteers, just as we are here.
[04:36] <unperson> Hi.  I'm trying to get my microphone to work on my Ubuntu Gusty system and I was hoping someone could help me troubleshoot a bit.
[04:36] <kaosah> Has anyone tried Ubuntu on a pavillion dv6000?  I'm having a bit of trouble with the sound ..
[04:36] <swarm> GW = gears of war?
[04:36] <Dr_willis> im suprised wine works at all.. :)
[04:36] <luddite> Guld Wars
[04:36] <luddite> Guild Wars
[04:36] <swarm> ah
[04:36] <Inverse> PirateHead, theres nothing wrong  with wine, Im talking about native games
[04:36] <swarm> i play CS:S
[04:36] <luddite> no subscription fee
[04:36] <luddite> I love CS
[04:36] <_zach_> native games hit digg about once a month
[04:36] <luddite> but I suck
[04:36] <cronik> what is th eproblem
[04:36] <Inverse> is CS free for linux?
[04:36] <sipsipclick> is guild wars free to download?
[04:36] <_zach_> "TOP 10 UBUNTU GAMEZORS!!"
[04:36] <luddite> BOOM HEAD SHOT
[04:36] <swarm> no
[04:36] <PirateHead> Inverse: There are some native games, but usually not from the big brand names.
[04:36] <_zach_> and it's usually like.. nexiuz
[04:37] <_zach_> and padman
[04:37] <unperson> My mic is on right now and plugged into the mic jack.  In the past this mic has worked.  I assume the problem is a setting somewhere, that's what I'm trying to figure out.
[04:37] <swarm> native games usually kinda suck :)
[04:37] <PirateHead> Inverse: You mean, is Counter Strike free on Linux?
[04:37] <Lunz> mneptok,i already have ccsm and beryl,i just need the icon on my startup
[04:37] <luddite> i think there is a game now running on the DOOM3 engine
[04:37] <_zach_> using wine
[04:37] <geju> how does CSS run in linux? do you get more fps on linux or windows?
[04:37] <Dr_willis> padman and nexius are fun. :)
[04:37] <luddite> that is Open Source...
[04:37] <Inverse> PirateHead, some people were just talking about urban terror and ET, are they free and native for linux?
[04:37] <unperson> My hope is just that either mic is muted or it's an issue of turning on amplification.
[04:37] <_zach_> i've got an ati card
[04:37] <kaosah> There are these touch buttons on top and one is permanently orange for mute, though touching it does seem to mute/unmute (though no sound still comes out) .. everything is up in alsa and stuff...
[04:37] <_zach_> and ati drivers aren't all tha awesome
[04:37] <luddite> Well.. it's a matter of speed, and money
[04:37] <_zach_> so my fps in css is not great
[04:37] <Dr_willis> Tremulus is fun, and what was that other one.. Hmm.. more mondern combat.
[04:37] <luddite> Upgrade and you will achieve great fps
[04:37] <PirateHead> Inverse: First, you gotta stop using acronyms like CS and ET. They have lots of meanings, so spell things out.
[04:38] <geju> cs = counterstrike, ET = enemy territory
[04:38] <PirateHead> Inverse: Then, if you want to know about specific games, Google is a better place to ask. We don't necessarily know the details of how specific games run.
[04:38] <Inverse> CS = counter strike, ET = enemy territory, i thought they were common acronyms when talking about games
[04:38] <luddite> my dual nvidia 8800GS setup with my quad core Intel chip, allows me to see my horrible skills in digital clarity
[04:38] <PirateHead> Inverse: If you're talking about games that run under Steam, then there is no native Linux client but Steam does run under Wine and Cedega.
[04:38] <spasticteapot> Inverse: I thought you were talking about aliens.
[04:38] <spasticteapot> Extra-Terrestrials.
[04:38] <swarm> k9copy owns just so you all know. :)
[04:38] <Vovk> I'm having some issues with wine. I set my wine virtual desktop to 640 x 480 and now I can't get it off, the problem is that the configuration box is too large to fit on the screen, and I cannot select "accept"
[04:39] <tummyacid> cs = corse scrotum... et = enviromental tedium
[04:39] <Vovk> is there a textual way I can do this?
[04:39] <cronik> guys i really need some help with this
[04:39] <Inverse> !OPS
[04:39] <cronik> try googling for 2 days and nothing

[04:39] <Lunz> mneptok,i already have ccsm and beryl,i just need the icon on my startup
[04:39] <swarm> does k9 copy check copyrights?
[04:39] <Inverse> i guess its back to windows then
[04:39] <luddite> tftp and hacking wrt54g
[04:39] <Inverse> again
[04:39] <nixternal> Inverse: what's the problem?
[04:39] <Azrael24> swarm...don't know...doubt it
[04:39] <swarm> what im copying isn't copywritten so i dunno
[04:40] <cronik> i know
[04:40] <PirateHead> Inverse: Windows is definitely a better choice for gamers at this point.
[04:40] <swarm> horse training videos for my sister. sheesh
[04:40] <Inverse> nothings nixternal, wrong window
[04:40] <Azrael24> inverse...you'll come back to ubuntu
[04:40] <luddite> .... unless you use a ps3
[04:40] <_zach_> i stick with ubuntu thru the pain
[04:40] <_zach_> i feel like it's building character
[04:40] <swarm> Inverse: what game are you trying to run?
[04:40] <cronik> im trying
[04:40] <cronik> im trying
[04:40] <cronik> lol
[04:40] <cronik> i love ubuntu
[04:40] <Inverse> Azrael. i actually like ubuntu a lot, I cant fault it (i could but...)  it just doesnt do the things I want it to do
[04:41] <cronik> i feel funny wen im using windows
[04:41] <_zach_> cronik, my laptop came with vista
[04:41] <cronik> i feel like a baby user
[04:41] <Azrael24> Pirate - for now windows is, but it's just a matter of learning how to tweak your
[04:41] <cronik> yea
[04:41] <_zach_> ergo: ubuntu
[04:41] <Azrael24> system
[04:41] <Azrael24> doh
[04:41] <cronik> my laptop 2
[04:41] <swarm> i got permission from my boss to install ubuntu on my work computer
[04:41] <swarm> now he wants it on his. HAHA
[04:41] <meta4ical> Could anyone help me get my Radeon x800 pro working under Ubuntu 7.10, I tried the restricted drivers but got a black screen, also tried ENVY and got a white screen. Here's my thread on the ubuntu forums if anyone could help -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3792186#post3792186
[04:41] <cronik> put ubuntu the sameday i had it
[04:41] <santa_> there any program that tests system stability for overclocking?
[04:41] <Azrael24> Inverse...do you have windows still on your system?  I went cold turkey...installed 7.10 and been content since
[04:41] <swarm> he drools over cube desktop
[04:41] <_zach_> i tried out vista for a day
[04:41] <V1k1ng> envy = bad
[04:41] <cronik> lol
[04:41] <swarm> santa_: ooh! ooh! i know that one!
[04:41] <cronik> i sucks right
[04:42] <cronik> compiz is better
[04:42] <cronik> lol
[04:42] <Tm_T> Azrael24: offtopic
[04:42] <swarm> i wrote a whole thread on overclock.net about that
[04:42] <_zach_> saw that it ran at like 25% cpu for the first 10 minutes after boot
[04:42] <santa_> swarm: oh oh oh oh tell me! :P
[04:42] <PirateHead> V1k1ng: Envy = bad? How come?
[04:42] <cronik> by the way my laptop is up
[04:42] <_zach_> and Iw as like ehhhhhhh
[04:42] <Azrael24> I'm loving this, learning linux along the way, and how to try out new ways instead of the old ways, and learning to make it work
[04:42] <Tm_T> !envy | meta4ical
[04:42] <ubotu> meta4ical: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[04:42] <cronik> it just came up
[04:42] <Inverse> swarm Im trying to install MESS and MAME and trying to figuire out how the whole gaming thing works  on linux, I figuired out wine and have some things working in that, albeit not quite as well as windows,  Im trying to find out about native gaming and really simple things like installing the newest alien arena
[04:42] <_zach_> cronik did you fix the mac add?
[04:42] <V1k1ng> PirateHead, cuz it doesn't coordinate with synaptic, it's a quick fix that can screw up your rig
[04:42] <cronik> noo
[04:42] <swarm> http://www.overclock.net/linux-unix-mac/248684-linux-benchmarks.html#post2864829
[04:42] <cronik> sometime it boots up
[04:43] <cronik> sometime it dont
[04:43] <cronik> lol
[04:43] <cronik> that sucks
[04:43] <santa_> thanks swarm
[04:43] <swarm> are you a member of overclock.net, santa_ ?
[04:43] <vocx> !enter | cronik
[04:43] <ubotu> cronik: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:43] <cronik> sorry
[04:43] <Azrael24> guys....what's the command line for your dvdrw?
[04:43] <PirateHead> V1k1ng: It's a quick fix that makes Ubuntu enjoyable for people who are otherwise pissed off by Ubuntu's failure to quickly include bug fixes.
[04:43] <Azrael24> I mean...how linux/ubuntu sees the hardware via terminal
[04:43] <_zach_> Azrael24, /media/dvdrw?
[04:44] <V1k1ng> PirateHead,   enjoy it at your own risk, i can attest to the fact that eventually you will need to reinstall
[04:44] <_zach_> Azrael24, /dev/dvdrw0?
[04:44] <Azrael24> I'm using tovid, trying to make a DVD from an avi file, I'm in the 'burn' component
 use gnomebaker or k3b
[04:44] <Azrael24> I'll try what you've suggested, thanks zach
[04:44] <Maenad> i just tried to mount /dev/hdc1 which i fdisk'd into filetype 83 (linux), but when i try to mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/backup i get this error: mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' anyone know what im doing wrong?
[04:44] <Azrael24> k3b didn't let me use avi
[04:44] <Tm_T> !envy
[04:44] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[04:44] <_zach_> Azrael24, just try "ls /dev | grep dvd"
[04:45] <boysdontcry> Azrael24 its because you have to convert it to mpg
[04:45] <Inverse> are there different kinds of drivers to binary?
[04:45] <cappicard> I'm laughing my head off. It's taken at least 50 minutes to start jBoss on an old presario 5020. :D
[04:45] <tritium> Inverse: yes, those that provide source code
[04:45] <PirateHead> The restricted manager's binary driver white-screens my computer. Envy's lets me play 3D games. Ubotu lies.
[04:45] <Inverse> cappicard, try running super pi on it!
[04:45] <swarm> santa_: are you a member of overclock.net?
[04:45] <bradv_> Azrael24: Install DeVeDe to burn AVIs to DVD

[04:45] <boysdontcry> i used envy... and it works for me..
[04:45] <swarm> i like envy
[04:46] <eubey> whats a good panel app?
[04:46] <cappicard> Inverse: LOL. "Say 'good night, gracie!'" :)
[04:46] <Tm_T> boysdontcry: see above
[04:46] <Laph> hello all
[04:46] <cronik> hey zach,i see that in my laptop i have wireless and wlan connected but it the network manager it saids that they are in roaming mode,any one know why is that?
[04:46] <corrosione> but more importantly....how do i get amarok to quit displaying this retarded splash thinging everytime it plays a new song
[04:46] <vocx> cappicard, what's that? And why should we care?
[04:46] <V1k1ng> PirateHead,  back up your files and have fun for now
[04:46] <boysdontcry> i mean.. it's ok if it works for you.. like it works for me.. if does.. you're fckup
[04:46] <PirateHead> Tm_T: I'm not recommending to others, and I'm not qualifying the "works for me" philosophy. I'm just pointing out that Ubuntu's drivers do NOT work for me. People will innovate new solutions when the provided ones turn out to be crap.

[04:46] <Laph> possible to have somone pm me to give me a hand with changing bootup res.?
[04:46] <cappicard> vocx, jboss is a java application server
[04:46] <boysdontcry> does anyone read msgs now?
[04:47] <cappicard> and do I expect anyone to care? no
[04:47] <StoneNote> good advice ubotu. works for me
[04:47] <StoneNote> oops
[04:47] <PirateHead> V1k1ng: I break Ubuntu on a regular basis, so I'm always reinstalling -- I obviously wouldn't suggest Envy to a newbie or a person who needs to rely on their machine totally.
[04:47] <_zach_> !hola
[04:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hola - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:47] <boysdontcry> i said if it works for you then it's ok.. if it'd not then you're pretty fckdup
[04:47] <V1k1ng> fair enough
[04:47] <corrosione> how do i get amarok to quit displaying this retarded splash thinging everytime it plays a new song.
[04:47] <Maenad> i just tried to mount /dev/hdc1 which i fdisk'd into filetype 83 (linux), but when i try to mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/backup i get this error: mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' anyone know what im doing wrong?
[04:47] <_zach_> corrosione, it's called OSD
[04:47] <Dr_willis> corrosione,  its in the settings some where. :)
[04:47] <tritium> boysdontcry: careful with the implied foul language
[04:47] <_zach_> go thru the options an disable it
[04:47] <corrosione> thx
[04:47] <boysdontcry> peace...
[04:47] <Tm_T> corrosione: don't repeat
[04:48] <Dr_willis> Anyone  seen where/how one can make firefox's download dialog default to 'save to disk' instead of tryint to load to a program?
[04:48] <boysdontcry> did I recommend anything? no!... i didn't
[04:48] <PirateHead> Dr_willis: you can always fish around in about:config
[04:49] <Dr_willis> PirateHead,  Hmm.. guess i can look there. :)
[04:49] <PirateHead> Dr_willis: or ask in #firefox
[04:49] <boysdontcry> read before you complain
[04:49] <Dr_willis> downloading some videos from stage6.com and every so often i missclick and it tries to play them
[04:50] <Maenad> is there some graphical way of mounting a physical disk in Ubuntu?

[04:51] <boysdontcry> Maenad or you can gry gmount-iso
[04:51] <Laph> plz :P
[04:51] <Ildjarn> I uninstalled Wine and deleted my .wine folder, but I still have the wine submenu under applications. How do I remove it?
[04:52] <Krypt> is Ubuntu better than Kubuntu?
[04:52] <CIS1987> I have a problem with the Add-Remove application.. It never allows me to install anything
[04:52] <V1k1ng> menu editor
[04:52] <Cancer_Patient> Krypt, personal preference
[04:52] <Laph> yep, Preference Krypt
[04:52] <PirateHead> Krypt: That's a loaded question.
[04:52] <bradv_> Ildjarn: Right-click on Applications and select Edit Menus
[04:52] <Krypt> true,
[04:52] <boysdontcry> Ildjarn system > preference > main menu
[04:52] <V1k1ng> ubuntu is better than kubuntu, yes
[04:52] <V1k1ng> lol
[04:52] <Cancer_Patient> can anyone remind me how to re-install GRUB after installing windows?
[04:52] <Ildjarn> bradv_: I did that but there's no option to delete.
[04:52] <PirateHead> Krypt: There are definitely plusses and minuses to each one, so I suggest that you give both a try and decide which one you prefer.
[04:52] <CIS1987> I have a problem with the Add-Remove application.. It never allows me to install anything
[04:53] <Dr_willis> Krypt,  you can easially install the ubuntu-desktop on kubuntu, and kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu, and try out both kde and gnome
[04:53] <CIS1987> I have a problem with the Add-Remove application.. It never allows me to install anything
[04:53] <V1k1ng> CIS1987, what happens exactly?
[04:53] <cronik> get the grub super disk
[04:53] <boysdontcry> CIS1987 : i'ts either you  don't have root password  or ther's a conflict in your repo
[04:53] <Ildjarn> Anyone know why vmware was removed from the repositories in Gutsy?
[04:53] <cronik> and install grub again
[04:54] <cronik> but you re going to have to add the windows entry  your self
[04:54] <cappicard> Cancer_Patient: just boot an ubuntu CD.  Mount your root: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ; sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda1
[04:54] <cappicard> and reboot
[04:54] <cappicard> adjust accordingly to your root partition's location of course
[04:54] <multiverse> I just wanted to tell everyone that the 64 bit version of 7.10 is much better then the earlier distros.
[04:54] <V1k1ng> or just use gag instead of grub
[04:54] <Krypt> im fresh from windows so i have no idea how to use ubuntu at all, i have ubuntu 7.10 installed and only have a dialup connection, i got it shipped also had an older version of kubuntu passed on to me from a friend, so thats how i found it
[04:54] <cappicard> V1k1ng: that works too
[04:54] <V1k1ng> multi:  wht's better
[04:54] <Cancer_Patient> cappicard, thanks dude
[04:54] <cappicard> np
[04:55] <V1k1ng> cappicard, i haven't used gag in a while, is anyone developing it?
[04:55] <cappicard> multiverse: I'm on  it now
[04:55] <nfusco> what repo do i have to enable to get the Broadcom-fwcutter restricted driver?
[04:55] <genesis> can changing the xorg file even by using envy to install your graphics driver and having it write a new xorg file cause system freezes?
[04:55] <santa_> how do i have apt install all packages related to a perticular package?
[04:55] <Evanlec> multiverse, glad u see now :)
[04:55] <cappicard> V1k1ng: i dont know. haven't used gag in a long time
[04:55] <multiverse> Well, when I installed the earlier version nothing worked.  But now it works much better.  Specifically, you get BIGMEM, so you get all 4 GB
[04:55] <multiverse> Thanks for the advice Evanlec
[04:55] <multiverse> You guys were right.
[04:55] <Evanlec> multiverse, you're welcome
[04:56] <Evanlec> 64-bit doesnt need bigmem, it supports some ridiculous amount of RAM on its own
[04:56] <multiverse> That's what I mena.
[04:56] <multiverse> mean
[04:56] <Ildjarn> Anyone know why vmware was removed from the repositories in Gutsy?
[04:56] <Evanlec> yea
[04:56] <NemesisD> ok guys i have problems, i booted up to my ubuntu partition not starting, my windows partition however boots fine. I've been trying to use a livecd to try to fsck the linux partition but the ubuntu livecd hangs and even knoppix hangs
[04:56] <Ildjarn> Anyone know why vmware was removed from the repositories in Gutsy? It was there in Fiesty.. How do I install it now? They don't have a debian package on the site
[04:56] <multiverse> I got all four of my 4 GB, and the system is moving along nicley.
[04:56] <vocx> multiverse, Evanlec cappicard keeps us posted on 64 bit, since some of use still don't want to use it.
[04:56] <multiverse> I was concerned that the video drivers wouldn't work.
[04:57] <bourgois> NemesisD:  Define 'Hangs'
[04:57] <Evanlec> vocx, cappicard?
[04:57] <musikgoat> Ildjarn: its not hard to compile it, vmware has an easy script
[04:57] <V1k1ng> multiverse, any drawbacks?
[04:57] <multiverse> vocx, he kind of jumped me yesterday, but I decided to follow his advice yesterday and I'm glad that I did.
[04:57] <multiverse> So far none.
[04:57] <multiverse> I just finished the install.
[04:57] <cappicard> only thing that's on 32-bit for me is firefox and its plugins
[04:57] <vocx> Evanlec, I meant "keep us posted" (imperative)
[04:57] <cappicard> because Java JRE plugin's still on 32-bit
[04:57] <Evanlec> oh
[04:57] <completeN00b> Hi: Anyone know a way to setup a rule so that a certain window will always get the "Always on visible workspace" option, whenever i open it? Thanks
[04:57] <multiverse> I'm on a Lenovo R61, and the drivers situation is iffy at best.
[04:58] <CIS1987> Ok forget about Add/Remove it's working now :)
[04:58] <multiverse> I am going to go off the deep end configuring it this week and weekend.
[04:58] <Evanlec> yea, if u need java desperately u gotta use 32bit f-fox
[04:58] <CIS1987> Now I have another problem
[04:58] <Evanlec> personally i dont even use java
[04:58] <Ildjarn> musikgoat: There's only an rpm package.
[04:58] <cappicard> i moved my junk lexmark printer to a 32-bit server because its drivers dont work with 64-bit unless it's in a jail.
[04:58] <multiverse> I plan to hang around this channel when I'm working on it so I can help others 64 bit it.
[04:58] <ronnies07> heh.
[04:58] <musikgoat> Ildjarn: get the tar.gz
[04:58] <Evanlec> lol
[04:58] <musikgoat> Ildjarn: here is a tutorial  http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/11/17/install-vmware-server-on-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-updated/
[04:59] <cappicard> rumor has it that 64-bit jre java plugins will be included with java 7.
[04:59] <CIS1987> When I installed Qt 4 interface designer all the other Programming Applications disappeared
[04:59] <ronnies07> CTL+ALT+F1/F2/F3/F4/F5/F6 leads to a blinking cursor.
[04:59] <V1k1ng> multiverse,  i switched to 32 bit, for some reason it works with my broadcom card better
[04:59] <cappicard> thus far, the cvs versions dont have it yet
[04:59] <Evanlec> chroot'ing is not the preferred method to get 32bit apps to install, better to use the libia32 package
[04:59] <zero> Hmm...
[04:59] <zero> Accidentally uninstalled dpkg
[04:59] <ronnies07> how to fix.
[04:59] <zero> Anywhere I can get a tarball?
[04:59] <zero> Have wget
[04:59] <cappicard> Evanlec: i had to run cups in a 32-bit jail just for my printer.
[04:59] <zero> And tar
[04:59] <E-man> How can I to Install wine in Kubuntu 7.04
[05:00] <E-man> ?
[05:00] <vocx> !enter | zero
[05:00] <multiverse> V1k:  I have yet to get my wireless to work.
[05:00] <ubotu> zero: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:00] <musikgoat>  !enter | zero
[05:00] <bradv_> !enter | zero
[05:00] <multiverse> I'm using a cable!
[05:00] <multiverse> So old fashioned.
[05:00] <cappicard> now that it's connected to the presario (running cups and samba), i'm not messing with it any more.
[05:00] <Evanlec> cappicard, yea, u mean a chroot? im saying there's a better method, maybe not for printer drivers, but for 32bit apps
[05:00] <zero> Ah well, enter is such a nice punctuation though :P
[05:00] <cappicard> Evanlec: ah yeah.
[05:00] <ronnies07> CTL+ALT+F1/F2/F3/F4/F5/F6 leads to a blinking cursor. How to get mah terminal back?
[05:00] <V1k1ng> multiverse,   yeah, for some reason it worked in 7.04 64 bit, but not 7.10
[05:01] <Evanlec> cappicard, only software i had to use that for was lightscribe
[05:01] <multiverse> I had trouble with 7.04 64 bit:  the video drivers were absent.
[05:01] <bradv_> ronnies07: Ctl+Alt+F7
[05:01] <ronnies07> Err
[05:01] <Evanlec> cappicard, stupid LaCie has no 64bit version
[05:01] <ronnies07> That opens gnome.
[05:01] <meta4ical> Could anyone help me get my Radeon x800 pro working under Ubuntu 7.10, I tried the restricted drivers but got a black screen, also tried ENVY and got a white screen. Here's my thread on the ubuntu forums if anyone could help -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3792186#post3792186
[05:01] <multiverse> Main reason for the 4 GB of ram is for VMware experimentation.
[05:01] <cappicard> ah
[05:01] <V1k1ng> multiverse,   never had a problem with that
[05:01] <Evanlec> cappicard, but luckily it was fairly painless to force the 32bit .deb file to install
[05:01] <ronnies07> Ctl+alt+f8 gives me boot messages
[05:01] <Evanlec> multiverse, have u tried virtualbox?
[05:01] <cappicard> Evanlec: oh yeah.  same here
[05:01] <ronnies07> CTL+ALT+F1/F2/F3/F4/F5/F6/F8 leads to a blinking cursor. How to get mah terminal back?
[05:01] <multiverse> I did with 32.  I can't tell you how happy I am the 64 Desktop 7.10 works after install.
[05:02] <zero> ronnies07, press Ctrl + Alt + F7
[05:02] <multiverse> Even if I don't get wireless, I'm in business.
[05:02] <zero> And it will take you back to gnome/kde
[05:02] <ronnies07> I am IN gnome/kde.
[05:02] <bradv_> ronnies07: You can only open terminals on 1 through 6. 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are X, and 8 is debug for X. If its not in one of those, it doesn't exist.
[05:02] <Evanlec> multiverse, unless u bought vmware, i'd say virtualbox is better
[05:02] <cronik> guys
[05:02] <multiverse> Eva:  I haven't.  In my career I use VMware, and so need to do some self training at home.
[05:02] <oloy> hello
[05:02] <Evanlec> multiverse, tho i havent run the latest vmware yet
[05:02] <oloy> hi, guys
[05:02] <Evanlec> multiverse, oh i c
[05:03] <multiverse> VMware Server 2 just went beta
[05:03] <cronik> why do i have eth28 on my laptop,notice i was having problem with my mac
[05:03] <musikgoat> i c that, anyone used it?
[05:03] <multiverse> I will probably roll with that.
[05:03] <oloy> how do you do
[05:03] <multiverse> But I am interested in virtual box
[05:03] <ronnies07> bradv_, everything execpt for ctl+alt+f7 leads to a blinking cursor
[05:03] <multiverse> I'll go read the wikipedia article.
[05:03] <Evanlec> im just wondering, would i need the server and the player to boot an os?
[05:03] <multiverse> no
[05:03] <Evanlec> jus the server?
[05:03] <musikgoat> ronnies07: does gnome terminal's work?
[05:03] <oloy> hi, eva
[05:03] <ronnies07> Before power outage and uncontroled shutdown this would lead to a terminal.
[05:03] <multiverse> Yes
[05:03] <Evanlec> i c
[05:03] <ronnies07> it does musikgoat
[05:04] <multiverse> You install a "console gui"
[05:04] <boysdontcry> virtualbox doesn't have support for usb only for commercial version
[05:04] <bradv_> ronnies07: Then your terminals are gone. Nothing else can exist. To prove it, open a terminal window and do ps -A.
[05:04] <multiverse> that let's you manage the server.
[05:04] <oloy> kontol lu smua
[05:04] <NotSoGutsy> I rebooted, and am now in 'basic graphics mode' or something, and I can't seem to reset it
[05:04] <multiverse> It is very easy to isntall and use.
[05:04] <NotSoGutsy> suggestions ?
[05:04] <multiverse> boy:  really?
[05:04] <completeN00b> Hi: Anyone know a way to setup a rule so that a certain window will always get the "Always on visible workspace" option, whenever i open it? Thanks
[05:04] <Evanlec> boysdontcry, what? vbox is open source, there is no commercial version, and there is usb support
[05:04] <ronnies07> Ok
[05:04] <ronnies07> I get a giant list of the processes.
[05:04] <V1k1ng> NotSoGutsy, you rebooted into safe mode??
[05:05] <ronnies07>  4067 tty4     00:00:00 getty
[05:05] <NotSoGutsy> I don't think so ?
[05:05] <NotSoGutsy> I just rebooted normally
[05:05] <ronnies07>  4068 tty5     00:00:00 getty
[05:05] <ronnies07>  4072 tty2     00:00:00 getty
[05:05] <ronnies07>  4073 tty3     00:00:00 getty
[05:05] <ronnies07>  4074 tty1     00:00:00 getty
[05:05] <ronnies07>  4075 tty6     00:00:00 getty
[05:05] <zeromecha> I finally got my Dell Inspiron 5100 to work properly with the power button and lid switch!
[05:05] <zero> http://www.pastebin.com/
[05:05] <zero> =)
[05:05] <bradv_> ronnies07: You should get a prompt on tty1 on though. Not sure why its disappeared. I'm sure it'll fix itself when you reboot though.
[05:06] <craptasticles> I have a problem with my wireless card. Using feisty with a linksys wmp54g, it detects a signal from my network but it won't connect to it.
 ok i'll try it
[05:06] <ronnies07> bradv_, already tried.
[05:06] <craptasticles> could that just be something wrong with network monitor?
[05:06] <V1k1ng> NotSoGutsy,  your video card was installed properly?
[05:06] <V1k1ng> NotSoGutsy, with drivers and all?
[05:07] <NotSoGutsy> V1k1ng:: it didn't break until after the installation of the resticted modules
[05:07] <unperson> Nevermind.  I think I got it sorted out.
[05:07] <NotSoGutsy> i've got my roommate looking at it, he's used linux quite a bit more ...
[05:07] <V1k1ng> NotSoGutsy,   oh, I see   :(   that is bad
[05:07] <Maenad> is there a faster way to connect (via a LAN) to my ubuntu's folder from macosx other than samba? samba seems to be slow, taking 36 mins to copy 6gb or 6 mins per gb
[05:07] <musikgoat> Maenad: ftp?
[05:07] <marek`> anyone know the packages required to send files to computer from phone over bluetooth
[05:07] <marek`> ?
[05:07] <cappicard> Maenad: try nfs
[05:07] <Dr_willis> Maenad,  ssh is one way. May be faster..may not be.
[05:08] <Dr_willis> nfs should be faster. :)
[05:08] <marek`> some bluetooth server or something?
[05:08] <Maenad> Dr_willis: you can copy files from one to another via ssh?
[05:08] <musikgoat> sftp is sloow
[05:08] <Dr_willis> Maenad,  of course. ssh is the uber-multi-tool
[05:08] <Maenad> cappicard: ive wondered about nfs, is it difficult to set up a server for it in ubuntu?
[05:08] <cappicard> i got my laptop joined to a samba domain over wifi
[05:08] <cappicard> Maenad: nope
[05:08] <cappicard> it's quite simple
[05:08] <V1k1ng> marek`,   I think one is already installed, check add/remove software
[05:08] <theTrav> hey hey.  I've had eclipse vomit over an ant file it's trying to run.  It tells me to check the "error log"
[05:09] <theTrav> where does eclipse by default put its log in ubuntu gutsy?
[05:09] <Maenad> Dr_willis: can you give me an example of how i would copy 1 file from here to there via ssh?
[05:09] <cappicard> onfde you got it installed, just modify /etc/exports, and restart nfs-server
[05:09] <zero> dd if=/dev/hda /
[05:09] <zero> Err
[05:09] <cappicard> er-once
[05:09] <marek`> V1k1ng, well i've searched for bluetooth stuff but i'm not sure what i need to allow computer to recieve files over bluetooth
[05:09] <zero> dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hda
[05:09] <bradv_> theTrav: check /var/logs
[05:09] <Dr_willis> Maenad,  scp some stuff here.. :) i always have to doubl check its exact options.. Its abouyt the same as cp uses. only with a user@host/path sortr of thing.
[05:10] <theTrav> bradv_, there's a var/log, but nothing there that says error or eclipse
[05:10] <ronnies07> so any idea why i have an AWOL TTY1-6?
[05:10] <cappicard> lmao!!! 23:08:57,743 INFO  [Server] JBoss (MX MicroKernel) [4.0.5.GA (build: CVSTag=Branch_4_0 date=200610162339)] Started in 73m:51s:949ms
[05:10] <Dr_willis> Maenad,  ive also used the fuse 'sshfs' stuff  to make it a little easier.
[05:10] <multiverse> scp user@host:/path
[05:10] <multiverse> Cool thing about scp is that you can push or pull:
[05:10] <V1k1ng> marek`,   there's a bunch of stuff up in add/remove programs for bluetooth
[05:10] <multiverse> scp user@host:/path/file .
[05:10] <bradv_> theTrav: That's the standard place for log files. Check the Eclipse documentation for what they've done.
[05:10] <Maenad> Dr_willis: well id prefer to do the copying via Finder in Mac OS X which makes me think it needs to be mounted somehow
[05:10] <multiverse> scp * user@host:/path
[05:10] <eithan> hey peeps, was wondering if someone could help with a cd mounting issue.  when i click on my cdrom in thunar i get this: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
[05:10] <eithan>        missing codepage or other error
[05:10] <eithan>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[05:10] <eithan>        dmesg | tail  or so.
[05:10] <Dr_willis> Maenad,  i dont use os-x so cant tell ya what/how it does anything.
[05:11] <V1k1ng> marek`, just make sure you have "all available applications" enabled
[05:11] <marek`> V1k1ng, i dont think i have add/remove programs
[05:11] <marek`> V1k1ng, i just have aptitude
[05:11] <zero> eithan, type dmesg | tail 7
[05:11] <musikgoat> Maenad: i'm pretty sure nfs would be the best solution for you
[05:11] <multiverse> Maenad:  you can use ssh in OS X too.
[05:11] <zero> And paste the output into http://www.pastebin.com/
[05:11] <V1k1ng> marek`,   it's at the bottom of the 'applications' menu
[05:11] <zero> The paste the link here
[05:11] <multiverse> Just got to Applications/Utilties and use Terminal
[05:11] <bradv_> !pastebin
[05:11] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:11] <marek`> hmmm
[05:12] <theTrav> ahh, it was in a hidden directory in the workspace
[05:12] <Maenad> multiverse: yeah ive ben using ssh, but i dont know how to copy with it exactly yet
[05:12] <marek`> V1k1ng, so once i'm there what do i do?
[05:12] <Maenad> musikgoat: could you point me to how i would set up nfs in ubuntu?
[05:12] <theTrav> .metadata
[05:12] <V1k1ng> marek`,   top right, enable "all available applications"
[05:12] <multiverse> It's easy:  cp <file> /<path>/
[05:12] <cappicard> scp blah username@server:/path/
[05:12] <eliyahud> my networkmanager applet stopped showing any information about my wireless connection. how do i fix it?
[05:12] <musikgoat> sudo apt-get install nfs-common,  there may be a few others
[05:12] <V1k1ng> marek`,   then search for "bluetooth"
[05:12] <multiverse> Remember:  all unix-like systems use the following convention
 <source> <destination>
[05:13] <theTrav> ok, so eclipse can't find ant, that is the problem
[05:13] <V1k1ng> marek`,   I found something like 7 or so apps
[05:13] <musikgoat> Maenad: then setup /etc/exports file with the folders your sharing and with what machines (if neccessary)
[05:13] <musikgoat> and reboot nfs, and you have access
[05:13] <MasterShrek> multiverse, did u get a kernel compiled?
[05:13] <marek`> V1k1ng, yeah i think i see it, bluetooth file sharing
[05:14] <marek`> V1k1ng, that looks good
[05:14] <theTrav> hmm, no, eclipse is bundled with ant...
[05:14] <multiverse> I installed 7.10 Desktop 64 bit and it works like a champ.  You guys were right.
[05:14] <MasterShrek> =P
[05:14] <multiverse> :nods:
[05:14] <V1k1ng> marek`,   I have no idea, you just gotta try em out to see what works  :D
[05:15] <eithan> thanks zero here is is: http://pastebin.com/m320963f0
[05:15] <multiverse> eithan
[05:15] <multiverse> You in Seattle?
[05:15] <zero> eithan, I'm guessing it's a corrupt disc
[05:15] <Maenad> ive found that using scp works fine, but i dont know how to copy a whole directory with it. can someone tell me how? -R doesnt work
[05:16] <eithan> i've tried different disks, all the same error
[05:16] <bradv_> Maenad: -r
[05:16] <MasterShrek> Maenad, sshfs will allow you to mount, makes doing lots of copying easier
[05:16] <zero> eithan, DVDs or regular CDs?
[05:16] <eithan> both
[05:16] <Maenad> MasterShrek: oh okay, let me scroll up and see who told me how to do that
[05:16] <bradv_> Maenad: "man scp" for more options.
[05:17] <dontpanic> HEY!
[05:17] <dontpanic> I didnt know this place exists!
[05:17] <WHATTHEHELL> Oh
[05:17] <WHATTHEHELL> Who reged mah nick.
[05:17] <musikgoat> Maenad: sshfs would need to be run client side
[05:17] <MasterShrek> dontpanic, it doesnt, its all in your imagination
[05:17] <musikgoat> meaning on the mac
[05:17] <dontpanic> 1000 people in here...wow
[05:17] <V1k1ng> dontpanic,   #douglasadams is down the hall
[05:17] <MasterShrek> oh, i was not aware it was a mac, dunno if its possible then...but should be
[05:17] <WHATTHEHELL> Someone gone and stole mah nick
[05:17] <multiverse> Maenad:  scp a small directory tree is fine, but if you are moving a lot of data across a network, I suggest you use tar on the tree frist.
[05:17] <eithan> here's my fstab; i don't anything odd about it: http://pastebin.com/m26e1beb8
[05:18] <Maenad> musikgoat: wouldnt it be the server side, meaning it would need to be run in Ubuntu (which is where the hdd is) so i can access it across my network?
[05:18] <tritium> WHATTHEHELL: you should have registered it
[05:18] <WHATTHEHELL> I did
[05:18] <musikgoat> sshfs connects through ssh to the server
[05:18] <WHATTHEHELL> In 5 other servers.
[05:18] <cronik> guys,every time i reboot my eth adds one, ex:eth1, eth2 , eth3,now im up to eth29...anyone can help with this
[05:18] <musikgoat> its run client side
[05:18] <multiverse> Hi, how do I register?
[05:18] <WHATTHEHELL> First time commin here and mah nicks been taken :O
[05:18] <dontpanic> type /ns register (pass) (email)
[05:18] <musikgoat> maenad the server just runs an ssh server, as you already have
[05:19] <zero> eithan, your dvd and cd entry for the filesystem shouldn't be set to udf, it should be set to auto
[05:19] <Maenad> oh i see, thanks
[05:19]  * OISA escuse me, where can i find a help for begginer users?
[05:19] <multiverse> that is an unknown command
[05:19] <Ronnies07> Would my nick have anything to do with my fourm account
[05:19] <dontpanic> WTF SOMEONE STOLE MY NICK :(
[05:19] <dontpanic> (as in has the name dontpanic)
[05:19] <MasterShrek> multiverse, /msg nickserv register <pass> <email>
[05:19] <musikgoat> maenad,  there is apparently macfuse
[05:19] <dontpanic> nvm i was wrong
[05:19] <dontpanic> only /ns register (pass)
[05:19] <dontpanic> no email needed
[05:19] <musikgoat> maenad, that should be needed for sshfs
[05:19] <eithan> ok ill change it... real quick i can do a "mount -a" to reset the fstab file and avoid reboot right?
[05:19] <Booh-> How to change (or view) vino-server password via ssh console?
[05:20] <Maenad> musikgoat: hmm, ive used that before but dont remember for what
[05:20] <zero> fstab isn't a hashed file
[05:20] <musikgoat> Maenad: maybe for ntfs support
[05:20] <Ronnies07> WTF
[05:20] <zero> It reads it on mounting
[05:20] <Maenad> yeah it was.
[05:20] <tritium> Ronnies07: please stop
[05:20] <bradv_> !offtopic rls232m
[05:20] <multiverse> I think I registered.  How do I confirm?
[05:20] <rls232m> im trying to find a nick that is Not taken.
[05:20] <crdlb> rls232m: come to #freenode
[05:21] <Maenad> musikgoat: okay i installed macfuse core, but im not sure what it does because sshfs still isnt working
[05:21] <rls232m> This is a mirror on freenode.
[05:21] <rls232m> Oh no wonder.
[05:21] <eithan> well hot damn zero, that worked
[05:21] <zero> You're welcome
[05:21] <eithan> thank you kindly
[05:21] <cronik> why do i get a difrent mac everytime i boot up,anyone can help on this one?
[05:22] <zenwryly> Hmm, having just moved from debian unstable to ubuntu gutsy, I find C-h i in emacs doesn't have an entry for emacs itself.  Any suggestions?
[05:22] <dippy> what is the best way to enable nvidia drivers besides from envy?
[05:22] <musikgoat> maenad i haven't does sshfs on the mac, i don't own one, just have them at work,   does this help? http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html
[05:22] <tritium> !nvidia | dippy

[05:22] <Ronnies07> Can freenode email mah password.
[05:22] <Ronnies07> I used this server ages ago and forgot it.
[05:22] <dippy> tritium love you
[05:23] <MasterShrek> Ronnies07, /msg nickserv help    should point u in the right direction
[05:23] <crdlb> Ronnies07: yes, you can also get the nick dropped
[05:23] <Ubuntu_Rocks> .
[05:23] <crdlb> Ronnies07: please join #freenode
[05:23] <Ronnies07> crdlb, I am in said empty channel
[05:23] <tritium> Ronnies07: not only is "my" actually correct, it's one less letter to type
[05:23] <crdlb> uh
[05:23] <multiverse> I am impressed with this release of Pidgin.
[05:24] <MasterShrek> multiverse, what release would that be?
[05:24] <Ronnies07> err
[05:24] <MasterShrek> 2.2.2?
[05:24] <musikgoat> multiverse: are you talking about the latest .2 release or overall?  i thought .2 just fixed bugs
[05:25] <multiverse> There are so many choices, and it's running smoothly for me.  Furthermore, I can get all my accounts in there.
[05:25] <musikgoat> oh
[05:25] <multiverse> 2.2.1
[05:25] <multiverse> So much less trouble than GAIM
[05:25] <oxeimon> does anyone know where the button images are located?
[05:26] <oxeimon> like, the button images for the themes via System->Preferences->Appearance
[05:27] <oloy> i am a psycho
[05:27] <oxeimon> does anyone know where the button images for the default ubuntu themes are located?
[05:27] <pirotheze> oh dear
[05:28] <Ronnies07> I do find funny the ammount of people named root here
[05:28] <craptasticles> I'm having a problem with my wireless. It detects a signal from my router but it won't connect to it.
[05:28] <D-Elite> oxeimon, /usr/share/pixmaps
[05:28] <musikgoat> craptasticles: encryption? distance?
[05:28] <D-Elite> craptasticles, does your router filter mac address?

[05:29] <Maenad> okay ive decided to use NFS to copy my files. can someone tell me what package is needed to install to make it work?
[05:29] <musikgoat> !nfs
[05:29] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[05:29] <Dr_willis> !nfs
[05:29] <Dr_willis> drat i was slow. :)
[05:29] <Maenad> thanks musikgoat =)
[05:29] <musikgoat> sure
[05:29] <Maenad> and Dr_willis =)
[05:30]  * Dr_willis gets ready for the next answer!
[05:30] <hellonul1> hey has anyone else had trouble getting sound from foobar2000 under wine?
[05:30] <Maenad> you guys are awesome! ive been tryin to do this all week, and google hasnt been as helpful as this
[05:30] <rockets> Perhaps the NFS packages.
[05:30] <musikgoat> craptasticles: what wireless chipset?
[05:30] <Maenad> also ive been asking in here, but people dont usually answer. at all.
[05:30] <craptasticles> ralink?
[05:30] <musikgoat> theres alot of questions
[05:31] <Maenad> i know, which is why i dont get upset about it =)
[05:31] <meta4ical> Could anyone help me get my Radeon x800 pro working under Ubuntu 7.10, I tried the restricted drivers but got a black screen, also tried ENVY and got a white screen. Here's my thread on the ubuntu forums if anyone could help -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3792186#post3792186
[05:31] <Dr_willis> Maenad,  since OS-X uses bsd (i think) as its core. A lot of the old-skool-bsd fundamentals apply :)
[05:31] <Maenad> heh
[05:31] <craptasticles> yep. Ralink Rt2561/rt61
[05:32] <cronik> can any please help
[05:32] <cronik> anyone*
[05:32] <hellonul1> Dr_willis: yes it uses freebsd as the core
[05:32] <Clearze2> cronik: With what?
[05:32] <bradv_> cronik: Sure, what's your question?
[05:33] <ShiftyPowers> anyone ever use DD or partimage to transplant an ubuntu install to a new drive?
[05:33] <craptasticles> musikgoat: network tools shows unknown interface (ra1)
[05:34] <troxor> ShiftyPowers: yep
[05:34] <ShiftyPowers> troxor, which one did you use?
[05:34] <troxor> dd
[05:34] <musikgoat> craptasticles: hmm,  do you know if its just your router?
[05:34] <oxeimon> does anyone know where the button icons are in /usr/share/pixmaps?
[05:34] <oxeimon> ie, close/minimize button icons?
[05:34] <cronik> ok,i have a laptop with ndiswrapper (wireless) and regular ethernet,but everynow and then my laptop stops at the boot up screen,and wen i check the error msg all i see is invalid MAC address,after i mange to boot on ubuntu i see that my eth keep on adding one every time i reboot
[05:34] <cronik> ex: eth1,eth 2....eth28
[05:34] <musikgoat> oxeimon, iirc  the buttons are svg's so there is a section of those
[05:35] <ShiftyPowers> troxor, i currently have a dual boot with vista on the drive that I want to move over, is it possible to copy the entire drive (linux and vista partitions) using DD to the new drive?
[05:35] <cronik> i think there is something that is changing the mac address
[05:35] <ShiftyPowers> and will hte fac that the new drive is larger than the old one mess things up?
[05:35] <multiverse> Good night everyone
[05:35] <craptasticles> musikgoat: no, I've got probably a dozen other wireless devices that connect just fine
[05:35] <multiverse> I'll check in from time to time to help.
[05:35] <troxor> ShiftyPowers: absolutely, dd is just a bit by bit copy
[05:35] <oxeimon> musikgoat: where are they located?
[05:35] <multiverse> cheers
[05:35] <troxor> ShiftyPowers: capacity, yes, mayx.
[05:35] <troxor> mabye*
[05:35] <troxor> argh, maybe*
[05:35] <cronik> ??
[05:35] <craptasticles> well, maybe not a dozen, but plenty
[05:35] <mikeo1> my kubuntu is broken, how do i fix it?
[05:35] <ShiftyPowers> cool do you konw of any guides for DD?
[05:36] <musikgoat> craptasticles: i mean does this laptop connect elsewhere?
[05:36] <mikeo1> video is all laggy
[05:36] <cronik> got my msg guys?
[05:36] <Clearze2> cronik: Well, if you want to make sure you have a valid MAC address you can always use macchanger to change it to a valid mac. It will even give you listings of vaild mac addys. Then see if you get the same error.
[05:36] <ShiftyPowers> so the fact that the old drive is 160gb and the new one is 500gb won't mess things up?
[05:36] <mikeo1> i have nvidia drivers but the vendor string is SGI not nvidia
[05:36] <craptasticles> actually it's a desktop. If I boot intow windows it works just fine
[05:36] <cronik> sure
[05:36] <mikeo1> and i cant figure out how to change the vendor string
[05:36] <cronik> let me install macchanger
[05:36] <mikeo1> is there a way to reinstall all of glx and opengl?
[05:36] <mikeo1> and ignore the current settings
[05:37] <mikeo1> like a fresh install but only for opengl
[05:37] <musikgoat> oxeimon: sorry, idk,  look up ubuntu scalable vector graphics (i beleive)
[05:37] <Clearze2> cronik: macchanger -l | less will  list known vendors mac addresses
[05:37] <troxor> ShiftyPowers: dd is very low level though, generally you'll pipe it to netcat, with something along the lines of `dd if=/dev/sda | nc server -p 12345`, then have 'server' listening with `nc -l -p 12345 | dd of=sda.img` dunno the exact commands, but they will be similar to that
[05:37] <cronik> huge list
[05:37] <cronik> lol
[05:37] <ShiftyPowers> ok, i'll look into it
[05:37] <Maenad> musikgoat, Dr_willis: i got this error by following that guide, and im not sure if i should continue or stop: /etc/exports [1]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export "@myclients:/".
[05:37] <ShiftyPowers> thanks man
[05:38] <troxor> if the new one is bigger, you can use gparted or somesuch to resize/re-arrange the partitions into the empty space afterwards
[05:38] <Clearze2> a vaild mac is 12 digits long btw
[05:38] <cronik> kk
[05:38] <musikgoat> Maenad: this is my exports / 192.168.1.1/24(rw,no_root_squash,async)
[05:39] <Clearze2> cronik: sudo machanger -m xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx will change your mac
[05:39] <Maenad> musikgoat: whats the 24 for?
[05:39] <Maenad> and 192.168.1.1 means the user who will be trying to access, right?
[05:40] <cronik> wen i do a ifconfig i see eth29
[05:40] <Krisbo9000> anyone know a good tutorial for setting up windows network so i can build my amarok collection from it??
[05:40] <cronik> thats not normal
[05:40] <bradv> !samba | Krisbo9000
[05:40] <ubotu> Krisbo9000: 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
[05:41] <Clearze2> cronik: Does it list 29 separate interfaces?
[05:41] <cronik> ooo
[05:41] <Clearze2> cronik: Or one interface with 29 alias
[05:41] <Clearze2> *aliases
[05:41] <zeeble> what is the set of packages i need to compile apps? earlier, it used to be build-essential
[05:41] <cronik> just one
[05:41] <cronik> but
[05:41] <cronik> i did a lspci
[05:41] <cronik> and i see that it show my eth but s unknow
[05:41] <musikgoat> Maenad: the /24 means that section of IP addresses,  if you just want one computer just use the iP address
[05:41] <cronik> maybe i need to get driver for that
[05:42] <Maenad> ok i see, so its like a mask
[05:42] <cronik> drivers**
[05:42] <Krisbo9000> most of these tutorials use this term SHARENAME and others that i'm not sure about. where do i find the exact names for these. is there a tutorial for that?
[05:42] <musikgoat>  /24 is a CIDR term of subnetting
[05:42] <Clearze2> cronik: You can clean up your interface listings in /etc/network/interfaces
[05:42] <bradv> Krisbo9000: I'm sure the tutorial would explain to you to replace that term with whatever you want to call your share...
[05:43] <Dr_willis> Kirovksi,  the 'using samba' book  is avialable in downloadable form in the 'samba-doc' package. Its worth reading
[05:43] <Dr_willis> !info samba-doc
[05:43] <ubotu> samba-doc: Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.2 (gutsy), package size 6816 kB, installed size 14752 kB
[05:43] <Clearze2> cronik: So does it see your wireless? that is what you used ndiswrapper for right.
[05:43] <cronik> yes
[05:43] <Krisbo9000> thanks brad. ill give it another try
[05:43] <cronik> i see it
[05:43] <Clearze2> cronik: what chipset is your wireless card
[05:43] <cronik> broadcom 4311
[05:43] <bradv> Krisbo9000: Also see http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Samba
[05:43] <cronik> rev 2
[05:44] <Clearze2> cronik: did you use the xp driver?
[05:44] <cronik> mm,i follow  tutorial online
[05:44] <cronik> let me link you
[05:44] <Krisbo9000> shouldnt i be using cifs instead of smbfs?
[05:45] <croniksoft> i join from my laptop so i can give u the link
[05:46] <Clearze2> croniksoft: ok
[05:46] <oxeimon> can someone tell me how search works in ubuntu... it won't find anything for me
[05:46] <oxeimon> I'd be in my music folder, looking at the folder "Radiohead", and when I click on search and type "Radiohead", it doesn't return anything
[05:46] <croniksoft> http://www.megalinux.net/2007/11/hp-dv2610us-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbo.html
[05:47] <croniksoft> i used the 2nd driver
[05:47] <croniksoft> the 1st one dint work for me
[05:47] <Krisbo9000> this tutorial doesnt tell me where the sharename comes from either?
[05:48] <bradv> Krisbo9000: You decide what the sharename is. Call it whatever you want - just be consistent.
[05:48] <croniksoft> sp34152.exe thats the name
[05:48] <Krisbo9000> can it be the same as my mountpoint
[05:48] <Krisbo9000> mountname that is
[05:49] <Krisbo9000> because it looks like it comes from the windows server ... ok
[05:49] <Clearze2> croniksoft: Yeah, that is the correct driver to use. Other than changing your mac and cleaning up your interfaces file I can't give you any other suggestions really.
[05:49] <croniksoft> how can i clean my interface
[05:49] <croniksoft> i just se one line with the eth29
[05:49] <brian__> hey i really need help troubleshooting my sound
[05:49] <croniksoft> see*
[05:50] <brandon_> can someone help me I can't seem to view youtube videos on my computer? I have ubuntu and firefox
[05:50] <brian__> i have tried every forum online and nothing works
[05:50] <Mersault> so, I just installed ubuntu server 7.10, and the user created for me isn't in the sudoers file... how is this supposed to be usable?
[05:50] <Maenad> musikgoat: okay i changed it, but sudo exportfs -ra still complains about it... exportfs: /etc/exports [1]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export "192.168.1.100:/".
[05:50] <bradv> Krisbo9000: Be patient and read the entire document. Samba is not something that can be set up in an hour or two, unless you want to just use the tools built into Ubuntu for that purpose.
[05:50] <Clearze2> croniksoft: paste your /etc/network/interfaces file to pastebin
[05:50] <croniksoft> i have a long time i dont use that
[05:50] <squidink> are there any repositories for firefox 3 beta ?
[05:50] <croniksoft> is that a site/.
[05:51] <Maenad> squidink: yes
[05:51] <Clearze2> croniksoft: no, it's the location of a file on your  system
[05:51] <Krisbo9000> i just want to build my music collection in amarok
[05:51] <brandon_>  can someone help me I can't seem to view youtube videos on my computer? I have ubuntu and firefox
[05:51] <Krisbo9000> i have been trying all morning
[05:51] <Krisbo9000> its crazy!
[05:51] <Clearze2> croniksoft: Oh, you mean pastebin?
[05:51] <croniksoft> yes
[05:51] <squidink> Maenad: ummm... where?
[05:51] <K4k-laptop> can someone help me figure out how to either get the kernel source for 2.6.22-14 so I can use the restricted modules I already have or find the restricted modules for 2.6.22-9?
[05:51] <bradv> squidink: No. You can download the beta from mozilla.org, but there is no documentation for the install.
[05:51] <Clearze2> !pastebin
[05:51] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)

[05:53] <greencookie> is audacious>amarok,banshee.rhythmbox?
[05:53] <IndyGunFreak> how could you like xmms better than audacious
[05:53] <croniksoft> you got it?
[05:53] <bradv> squidink: You can wait a day or two and see if someone updates it. It shouldn't be much more than that. Try google or search in the ubuntu forums.
[05:53] <IndyGunFreak> audacious has far more options, more configurable, etc,
[05:53] <brandon_> ubotu: Ive already installed flash player 9.  I right click where the video is supposted to go and it says flash player 9.
[05:53] <amicrawler> xmms works  but when i make the xmms bigger  it goes very weard
[05:54] <IndyGunFreak> amicrawler: i've heard that problem before w/ xmms.
[05:54] <brandon_> ubotu: it looks like its goin to load but never does

[05:54] <Clearze2> croniksoft: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45333/
[05:55] <IndyGunFreak> greencookie: i'm not sure what repo its in, but i'm guessing you don't have it available.
[05:55] <IndyGunFreak> amicrawler: wel, xmms isn't supported or updated anymore, so your options are limited
[05:55] <taz_> hi guys

[06:01] <brandon_> indygunfreak: and firefox
[06:01] <Kalamansi> 14:00:38
[06:01] <Kalamansi> wolferine  how to disable firewall?
[06:01] <IndyGunFreak> brandon_: open synaptic package manager(System/Admin/Synaptic), and do a search for flashplugin-nonfree
[06:01] <diogofsr> multiverse: I liku it too. But I think there are another more modern and pleasure ways to listen to music. :-)
[06:01] <wolferine> Kalamansi, call up your admin and ask him to shut it down for you, at 4AM in the morning
[06:01] <Kalamansi> wolferine: i can access using local ip 192.168.1.33
[06:01] <taz_> how i will know if which one 64 bits or 32bits  my pc?
[06:01] <IndyGunFreak> brandon_: see if it shows flash is installed..(green square)
[06:02] <permanoia> my gnome panels are suddenly black... running compiz, happened while i was using gtk-theme-switch2 -- stay black no matter what theme i switch to now. tried restarting X and computer
[06:02] <brandon_> alright
[06:02] <multiverse> dio:  which way do you prefer?
[06:02] <greencookie> MasterShrek: :) hello. Yeah I was wondering if there's a better sound app than amarok for maintaining (tagging and renaming) and playing ure music?
[06:02] <Kalamansi> wolferine: im the admin.im from windows and im migrating to ubuntu 7.04
[06:02] <MasterShrek> taz_, look ath the output of: uname -m

[06:02] <IndyGunFreak> brandon_: right click it and choose "Mark for reinstallation"...,  then apply the changes, then restart firefox
[06:02] <Kalamansi> wolferine  ssh.access ssh
[06:02] <greencookie> MasterShrek: I was afraid you'd say that. I just wanted some change.
[06:02] <diogofsr> multiverse: I like Rythm very much. I think it is more complete than XMMS and less complicated than Amarol.
[06:03] <wolferine> Kalamansi, is the sshd running on the server ?
[06:03] <geoaxis> is it possible that through DHCPD that an IP gets reserved for a particular Hardware Address, ie no one can use that by assigning that IP
[06:03] <diogofsr> multiverse: Amarol = Amarok.
[06:03] <ubrian> how do i configure gnome display manager as default?
[06:03] <Kalamansi> wolferine i dont know..i just finish installing ubuntu 7.04....
[06:03] <MasterShrek> geoaxis, it is possible, some routers have static dhcp
[06:03] <IndyGunFreak> ubrian: what do you mean as default?
[06:03] <wolferine> Kalamansi, then install the sshd
[06:04] <wolferine> d = daemon
[06:04] <Kalamansi> wolferine how to install dude?thanks
[06:04] <taz_> mastershrek where i can find it 32 bit or 64 bits?? please help .
[06:04] <geoaxis> MasterShrek,  i am implying that is it possible that particualr IP cannot be assigned by hand to other systems
[06:04] <wolferine> Kalamansi, google: ubuntu guide
[06:04] <ubrian> so that when i log in, GDM displays instead of xdm or kdm
[06:04] <wolferine> Kalamansi, tells you how to setup your entire system
[06:04] <santa_> what does this mean? /var/cache/apt/archives/ltp-kernel-test_20060918-2ubuntu3_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/debian-test/tests/linux/runtest/syscalls', which is also in package ltp-commands-test
[06:04] <jfaurschou> anyone know of supported webcam app.
[06:04] <IndyGunFreak> ubrian: i think its system/admin/login window
[06:04] <MasterShrek> geoaxis, not sure exactly, not much of a networker
[06:04] <MasterShrek> taz_, i dont konw what you are trying to say
[06:04] <wolferine> skip to just the ssh part, if thats all you need ATM
[06:05] <wolferine> jfaurschou, explain a bit more ?
[06:05] <musikgoat> geoaxis: are you asking about static dhcp?
[06:06] <musikgoat> you want dhcp to assign an address based on a computers mac address?
[06:06] <taz_>   Sabayon Linux Beryl it lookl it cube
[06:06] <geoaxis> musikgoat,  well i am asking is there a way to lock a person down from assigning IP manually
[06:06] <jfaurschou> I have webcam now, but it doesn't support linux... I'm in need of a new one.. any suggestions?
[06:06] <thor_> ubrian: this is an old note....try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm'
[06:06] <greencookie> I'm trying to view videos on youtube but I guess I dont have flash installed. what would the command line to do that be? I have virgin gutsy install
[06:06] <musikgoat> not in dhcp,  but i imagine a router with iptables could control IP's

[06:07] <MasterShrek> greencookie, sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree, you may need to pop the cherry by adding universe and multiverse repos
[06:07] <wolferine> jfaurschou, its usually the other way around, your webcam is not supported by linux....

[06:09] <greencookie> it says cant find package flash-nonfree
[06:09] <MasterShrek> greencookie, search in synaptic or aptitude for flash, i know theres a package somewhere in there for it
[06:09] <IndyGunFreak> brandon_: but i really don't think thats the issue, i've never had a prob w/ flash before installing java.
[06:09] <MasterShrek> greencookie, and its not gnash
[06:10] <greencookie> MasterShrek: I know. lol. Gnash is the reason I had to reinstall ubuntu:D
[06:10] <troxor> does anyone know where usplash logs to?
[06:10] <MasterShrek> greencookie, that doesnt make sense, gnash shouldnt hose ur machine
[06:10] <jfaurschou> It shows "0c45:613c Microdia"

[06:21] <greencookie> ah lol wolferine . I thought 'someone' and I was like eh?
[06:21] <wolferine> jones, and you have know this is a working screenlet ?
[06:21] <jones> there is an option in the screenelts mamager that says to start automatically but no all of the screenlets do
[06:21] <wolferine> jones, and your wasting your time troubleshooting it cause it does something for you ?
[06:22] <greencookie> I will write the simplest of codes yet the most useful. It has been told in the books of old.:D
[06:22]  * wolferine tosses a coookie
[06:22] <bullgard4> I installed Ubuntu 7.10 from the CD. Now there exists a directory /home/backup (with many subdirectories). What is the purpose of this directory?
[06:22] <greencookie> and that is pkill firefox . thats the one i use the most. hahaha
[06:22] <musikgoat> greencookie: less talk more code
[06:22] <jones> i dont understand the question... i have a few of them that start auto and others that do not but will start randomly
[06:22] <greencookie> hehe
[06:22] <musikgoat> :-)
[06:22] <MasterShrek> bullgard4, did you have it back up your windows install or something?
[06:22] <wolferine> bullgard4, im sure you can see that its a backup
[06:22] <greencookie> less code more talk:) everyone's happy:D
[06:23] <greencookie> brb client on phone.
[06:23] <musikgoat> happy with nothing to do? not me
[06:23] <wolferine> jones, the applet manager, is that the issue, or the applets themselves ?
[06:23] <musikgoat> just listen to that codemonkey video
[06:23] <jones> the applets themself. i thought that the error was related to the issue

[06:24] <bullgard4> MasterShrek: I do not understand your question well. I have not touched this directory in any way by hand.
[06:24] <wolferine> jones, ... so as I said before, and I guess I have to repeat 'you have known this is a working screenlet' ?
[06:24] <greencookie> LMAO! I play WoW:D
[06:24] <MasterShrek> bullgard4, look in the folder, if theres nothing you need in there, delete it, im sure its just a backup from a previous linux install or from a windows install
[06:24] <wolferine> greencookie, no wonder you dont have time to learn how to code
[06:24] <MasterShrek> whats that riotkittie? btw hello :)
[06:25] <musikgoat> LOL
[06:25] <greencookie> wolferine: on the contrary. I dont.
[06:25] <greencookie> hehe jk w/ you I know that dont make any sense:)
[06:25] <jones> yes. it works all the time when i manually start it. it just not start automatically. i have made sure that it is set in my sessions as well in the applet manager

[06:25] <TillUnn> Hello guys. Can abybody advise me any software (it will be better if it is free and open) for solving this kind of task: I have a predefined table where information is stored. For example there are 15 columns. There are a lot of people who have to manage that information, but some of them can have access only to 5 columns and others can read all but change nothing. Also I need to setup predefined values for each column os people couldn't paste their data
[06:25] <TillUnn> into that columns. Is there any open and free solution for my problem? And in addition there MUST be versioning support with rollback to any of previous conditions

[06:28] <MasterShrek> =P
[06:28] <multiverse> As it turns out compiz was installed.  I just needed to install the manager.

[06:31] <wolferine> mirag1, and...
[06:31] <greencookie> then /nick mirage

[06:32] <musikgoat> you'd have to look into that

[06:32] <MasterShrek> mirag1, probably
[06:32] <musikgoat> TillUnn: for personal customization in a business sense, thats where the software designers come in

[06:36] <freeheels> looking for some help:  recently installed Gutsy on an IBM T43 -- everything has worked fine except for a problem where hotkeys seem 'sticky'.  I have a key combo bound for opening a gnome terminal and occasionally it will start opening an infinite amount of windows...
[06:36] <musikgoat> isn't it?
[06:36] <dan_> glxgears has been reporting drastically higher frame rates than i've actually been seeing (it's reporting ~100fps when i'm seeing more like 1fps)
[06:36] <musikgoat> ldap integrates with other apps
[06:36] <wolferine> yes, LDA{ is
[06:36] <benzs_s> when does support for feisty end
[06:36] <wolferine> LDAP*
[06:37] <MasterShrek> dan_, did you install drivers for you video card? 100fps is still very slow
[06:37] <passbe> does anyone have experience with roundcube webmail ?
[06:37] <dan_> MasterShrek: it's an ancient SiS card I don't really expect much out of it, and yeah i'm currently using the sis driver
[06:37] <freeheels> to stop it, I have to switch over to one of the non X terminals (alt-ctrl-F6, for instance) and killing all my processes.
[06:37] <multiverse> what is that package that is different from easyubuntu, ubuntu complete?
[06:38] <freeheels> I've been googling the issue and haven't found anything that seems to match up.  Weird stuff.
[06:38] <squid0> hi
[06:38] <Javid> I have a one button mouse and I have no way to rightclick, is there a way around this?
[06:39] <Ildjarn> musikgoat: I tried that url you gave me for installing vmware, but I get this error. http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=7023
[06:39] <bazhang> freeheels: have you seen linux on laptops website? they might have something
[06:39] <squid0> my new kubuntu desktop shown no disk icons on the desktop... and when I open media:/ in dolphin or konqueror, nothing comes up.... what could be the problem?
[06:39] <musikgoat> freeheels: sounds like it could be a bug
[06:39] <multiverse> easyubuntu and whah?
[06:39] <multiverse> Automatix!
[06:39] <musikgoat> Ildjarn: whats that link agian?
[06:40] <basskozz> Anyone here use Xming?
[06:40] <multiverse> Does Automatix work with 7.10 64 bit?
[06:40] <Ildjarn> musikgoat: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/11/17/install-vmware-server-on-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-updated/
[06:40] <bazhang> multiverse: for gutsy?
[06:40] <reya276> need some help troubleshooting a driver install
[06:40] <multiverse> yah
[06:40] <MasterShrek> multiverse, automatix is bad news
[06:40] <MasterShrek> !automatix
[06:40] <ubotu> automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[06:41] <bazhang> no need for it multiverse
[06:41] <reya276> I need to build a Kernel Module for USB (http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/config)
[06:41] <[chr0n0s]> anyone got fingerprint senor working with gutsy ??
[06:41] <squid0> how do i find out what graphics card my machine has?
[06:42] <squid0> (in ubuntu)
[06:42] <kupesoft> squid0: lspci should do it
[06:42] <Creationist> Is there a way to extract a WinZip archive that is password protected without having the password?
[06:42] <squid0> kupesoft: thanks
[06:42] <[chr0n0s]> squid0, it's the same as (in windows)
[06:42] <wolferine> squid0, use: lspci | grep VGA
[06:42] <musikgoat> Ildjarn: maybe you are missing headers?  #vmware is a good channel for troubleshooting
[06:42] <reya276> I already configured the driver, but everytime I do "make" I get an error
[06:42] <MasterShrek> Creationist, not really
[06:42] <kupesoft> squid0: You're welcome...
[06:42] <Cpudan80> Do you guys recommend the HDD fix for laptops?
[06:42] <Ildjarn> Okay
[06:42] <Ildjarn> musikgoat: I downloaded the headers too
[06:42] <wolferine> squid0, if using xchat do /exec -o lspci | grep VGA
[06:43] <wolferine> that will post the results in the channel here
[06:43] <MasterShrek> Ildjarn, virtualbox is a good virtual machine proggie, i prefer it over vmware-server
[06:43] <[chr0n0s]> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon X2300
[06:43] <squid0> thanks, wolferine. i'm not using xchat tho
[06:43] <Creationist> MasterShrek: Yeah, I didn't think so.  Was hoping Linux gurus would have figured it out :)
[06:43] <wolferine> well, still works none-the-less
[06:43] <kupesoft> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400
[06:43] <Creationist> MasterShrek: Then again, I'm certain there IS a way.. just most likely beyond my ability.
[06:43] <wolferine> see kupesoft ;)
[06:43] <Cpudan80> I'm looking at the articles about Ubuntu messing up laptop HDDs
[06:43] <kupesoft> [chr0n0s]: Your card is better than mine! ;p
[06:43] <musikgoat> Creationist: you need to be an encryption hacker for that
[06:44] <wolferine> Cpudan80, which partition types ?
[06:44] <wolferine> Cpudan80, Reiser ?
[06:44] <[chr0n0s]> kupesoft, it's just a low end gfx :(
[06:44] <Cpudan80> wolferine: Whatever gutsy's default is
[06:44] <kupesoft> wolferine: I didn't know about /exec in xchat, thanks ;p
[06:44] <Cpudan80> wolferine: ext3
[06:44] <reya276> How can I tell if a Driver configuration is ok?
[06:44] <squid0> I get an Intel one.... but the reason i'm interested in it is whenever I close my laptop lid, or try to switch users, my screen turns off, and there's nothing i can do to make it come on again... the system is still responsive, but i'm forced to do a hard reboot..... i thought maybe it was a problem with the graphics card...
[06:45] <squid0> *graphics driver
[06:45] <dion_> i get that 2 squid
[06:45] <wolferine> kupesoft, /help does alot in xchat :)

[06:47] <kupesoft> reya276: Those drivers should be included with Ubuntu,
[06:48] <wolferine> !envy | meta4ical

[07:00] <greencookie> nopes but i just did half of what http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_(Gutsy_Gibbon)_on_a_Thinkpad_T60 said . is it too late?:)
[07:00] <greencookie> chr0n0s: I went all the way till sudo aticonfig --initial then I got error and I didn't proceed.
[07:01] <greencookie> chr0n0s: btw I didnt do this while installing, rather did it after installing gutsy
[07:01] <[chr0n0s]> you have to rebot before you use that command greencookie
[07:01] <pipelineaudio> hey guys I found a page that can help me but it says I have to " RPM"
[07:01] <pipelineaudio> is it the same as synamptic?
[07:02] <Creationist> How do I run .jar files in Ubuntu?
[07:02] <greencookie> chr0n0s ok I'll try it. thanks.
[07:02] <command0-182> Um, excuse me, but my desktop icons don't work, could someone help plz?
[07:02] <pipelineaudio> "rpmbuild -tb line6usb-0.7.2beta.tar.bz2

[07:02] <_zach_> pipelineaudio, you can  use "alien" to convert rpm's to deb's

[07:02] <pipelineaudio> that command I just quoted I cant just type that right?
[07:02] <_zach_> ubuntu uses deb, redhat and a few others use rpm
[07:02] <_zach_> not quite
[07:03] <command0-182> Um, excuse me, but my desktop icons don't work, could someone help plz?
[07:03] <[chr0n0s]> nevhood, try using the repair option in alternate disk, don't know about livecd
[07:03] <pipelineaudio> I would do sudo apt install -tb line6usb-o ?
[07:03] <brad016> I have this flash drive but i don't know why it won't mount
[07:03] <[chr0n0s]> greencookie, the guide is old
[07:03] <pipelineaudio> man I will learn this one day :(
[07:04] <_zach_> pipelineaudio, it looks like they're building from source into an rpm and then they're installing the rpm
[07:04] <Creationist> [chr0n0s]: Always says it failed to load the main-class something or other.  THese are .jar games for cell phones.
[07:04] <santa_> while trying to make LTP (Linux Test Project) i get the following compile errors: http://pastebin.com/d6f2c9651
[07:04] <_zach_> pipelineaudio, you're just going to have to do the equivalent with deb
[07:04] <pipelineaudio> ok
[07:04] <brad016> I can't mount this flash drive, does anyone have any suggestions
[07:04] <pipelineaudio> ok Im going to do the steps I can then Ill paste and you can tell me if I got it right?
[07:04] <pipelineaudio> lemme read up for a bit
[07:05] <[chr0n0s]> Creationist, i am not sure, but don't you think you will either need J2ME installed or some phone emulaor for that
[07:05] <command0-182> Um, excuse me, but my desktop icons don't work, could someone help plz?
[07:05] <_zach_> pipelineaudio, looks like building a deb isn't all that simple :-(... i've never done it personally
[07:05] <Cpudan80> How do you get out of full screen in VLC?
[07:05] <kapoto> I'm using gparted on a liveCD. I've tried copying an ext3 partition from sdb to sda, but it doesn't actually copy. Any idea why?
[07:05] <meta4ical> wolferine: "I tried the restricted drivers but got a black screen,"
[07:05] <[chr0n0s]> Cpudan80, press Esc or f
[07:05] <nevhood> [chr0n0s] - thanks, but i can't burn the alternate cd if my computer won't start... do you know what i did wrong?  or how i can fix it?
[07:06] <pipelineaudio> _zach_: http://www.tanzband-scream.at/line6/INSTALL
[07:06] <_zach_> pipelineaudio, though it can make things nice and clean... I usually just cop out and install from source..
[07:06] <Cpudan80> [chr0n0s]: It's f -- esc doesn't work
[07:06] <pipelineaudio> it doesnt look too terrible maybe
[07:06] <Cpudan80> [chr0n0s]: But thanks
[07:06] <pipelineaudio> source is the EASY way?
[07:06] <pipelineaudio> man thats the scary thing for me lol
[07:06] <[chr0n0s]> Cpudan80, all about custom shortcuts :P
[07:06] <command0-182> My desktop icons say things like nautilus-computer.desktop and they won't take me anywhere

[07:07] <[chr0n0s]> nevhood, you have the desktop install disk ?
[07:07] <_zach_> pipelineaudio, it's just the second part
[07:07] <nevhood> [chr0n0s] - yes
[07:07] <nevhood> I tried running the Windows Vista Startup Repair
[07:07] <nevhood> but it won't detect the Windows Vista installation
[07:08] <nevhood> right now I'm running off the Live CD
[07:08] <_zach_> pipelineaudio, idk if it's possible to install rpm capability in ubuntu...
[07:08] <pipelineaudio> you think I can pull it off _za?
[07:08] <[chr0n0s]> nevhood, sorry can't help you with this.. never used a desktop install disk, so don;t know what options it gives
[07:08] <thor_> i-rACEr: are you running dual boot?
[07:08] <pipelineaudio> ahhh
[07:08] <_zach_> pipelineaudio, it's a learning process :-P
[07:08] <i-rACEr> yeah, but i don't boot into windows
[07:08] <pipelineaudio> wont it be ok to follow the source installation instructions?
[07:08] <[chr0n0s]> nevhood, does it give any option when you boot... like bot from HDD, boot in safe mode,
[07:08] <_zach_> yeah
[07:08] <_zach_> pipelineaudio, just follow the second part
[07:08] <[chr0n0s]> nevhood, or repair a broken system
[07:09] <_zach_> pipelineaudio, that's building from source
[07:09] <thor_> i-rACEr: as I recall windows requires you to run the linux system clock on local time. Sounds like it thinks it is on utc but is really on local
[07:09] <Ildjarn> Is it possible to mount an ISO file?
[07:09] <[chr0n0s]> Ildjarn, it is
[07:09] <_zach_> Ildjarn, google
[07:09] <nevhood> [chr0n0s] - it has boot from HDD...
[07:09] <nevhood> and safe mode
[07:10] <thor_> Ildjarn: look at fuseiso
[07:10] <_zach_> Ildjarn, you essentially mount it
[07:10] <nevhood> hm... i'm going to try restoring the mbr
[07:10] <boysdontcry>  mountdevsubfs.sh <--- what does this script do?
[07:10] <nevhood> that might do it
[07:10] <_zach_> Ildjarn, mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/test
[07:10] <_zach_> from the google search "mount iso"
[07:10] <i-rACEr> thor_ last time i booted into windows it was a month ago
[07:11] <boysdontcry> ! mountdevsubfs
[07:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mountdevsubfs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:11] <_zach_> !grub
[07:11] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:11] <i-rACEr> thor_ and i tried unchecking the utc option
[07:12] <boysdontcry> can anyone point me to documentation/manual for this script mountdevsubfs.sh
[07:12] <Churimon> The is Linux best windows?
[07:12] <santa_> while trying to make LTP (Linux Test Project) i get the following compile errors: http://pastebin.com/d6f2c9651
[07:12] <thor_> i-rACEr: well....that was my best shot <smile>
[07:13]  * SySRoot74 slowly backs towards an exit.
[07:13] <_zach_> santa_, i wonder if maybe #linux would be helpful
[07:13] <command0-182> Excuse me but my desktop icons aren't working
[07:13] <Ildjarn> _zach_: Says /mnt/test does not exist
[07:13] <santa_> now thats just a stupid suggestion on freenode, as soon as they figure out im on ubuntu, their going to tell me to come here
[07:13] <bazhang> #linuxhelp is good as well
[07:13] <_zach_> Ildjarn, you have to make a directory to mount it to
[07:14] <[chr0n0s]> Ildjarn, them make one
[07:14] <[chr0n0s]> then*
[07:14] <Ildjarn> And ubuntu will see it as a cdrom drive?
[07:14] <_zach_> Ildjarn, /mnt/test is really just a placeholder like /foo/bar
[07:14] <davenull> buysdontcry: are you trying to mount an iso image?
[07:14] <_zach_> Ildjarn, that part might be a little trickier
[07:14] <Ildjarn> _zach_: I need to mount an ISO to look like CD so that I can install in VMware
[07:15] <_zach_> Ildjarn, i guess as long as there's no cd in you can mount it to /media/cdrom
[07:15] <theflyingfool> for some reason i cant load the restricted drivers for my modem, though the restricted driver thing has a check box for me
[07:15] <theflyingfool> it says somethings unavalibile
[07:15] <davenull> boysdontcry: sduo apt-get install gisomount
[07:15] <davenull> *sudo
[07:15] <Ildjarn> okay :)
[07:16] <Varka> Ildjarn, vmware can handle ISOs itself, you dont have to mount them manually
[07:16] <jc_> Ildjarn: # mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /home/somebody/foobar.iso /media/cdrom
[07:16] <jc_> or # mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /home/somebody/foobar.iso /mnt/floppy
[07:17] <Varka> IdleOne, edit your vm properties, add a cdrom/dvdrom-drive and select from ISO
[07:17] <Ildjarn> but vmware says no bootable CD found
[07:17] <santa_> while trying to make LTP (Linux Test Project) i get the following compile errors: http://pastebin.com/d6f2c9651
[07:17] <Ildjarn> Varka: How?
[07:17] <Esteth> a howto i'm reading tells me to "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/lib" will this mess up other programs that are using LD_LIBRARY_PATH ? I just want to try out kde4-rc1, but don't want to mess up my existing gnome environment
[07:18] <Varka> Ildjarn, you have to add a drive to your emulated hardeconfiguration in the vm you created in vmware
[07:18] <Varka> Ildjarn, and the drive you add is the iso itself
[07:19] <Ildjarn> Hmm

[07:20] <corinth> Hi all, I'm using the 7.10 64 bit Live CD right now. I'm getting ready to set up my partitions, and I have a (probably loaded) question. Should I format my partition as ext3 or reiserfs?
[07:20] <theflyingfool> ext3
[07:20] <davenull> ext3
[07:20] <corinth> Alright, why?
[07:21] <theflyingfool> default....
[07:21] <corinth> Lol. Any other reason?
[07:21] <davenull> ext3 has the best partion editing functions, it can be shrunk, reiser acnt
[07:21] <davenull> *cant
[07:21] <theflyingfool> corinth, thats a good one that davenull had
[07:21] <corinth> davenull: That sounds like a good reason, thank you.
[07:21] <davenull> and it takes less processor power
[07:22] <corinth> I'll be back after I've installed. See you soon!
[07:22] <davenull> reiserfs takes more resources
[07:22] <kapoto> how can I give r/w permissions to everyone for an entire directory?
[07:22] <MasterShrek> chmod -R 777 /path/to/directory
[07:23] <dan_> I've got a Sis 6326 but glxgi
[07:23] <kapoto> thanks mastershrek
[07:23] <dan_> crap
[07:24] <dan_> I've got a Sis 6326 and glxgears is reporting around 100fps, yet i only see around 1 fps, anyone have any idea what's wrong?
[07:25] <techbie> Hello all, where can i  download the cd containing codecs
[07:26] <Varka> Ildjarn, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Workstation <- its mentioned here also later in article "Ubuntu as a VMware Guest" "Initial Install"
[07:26] <davenull> techbie: go to add/remove programs and enable universe and look for ubuntu restrivted extras
[07:26] <greencookie> Damn, getting the ATI X1300 Radeon card to work in Gutsy sure is tuff.
[07:26] <pike__> !medibuntu | techbie  if ya want an iso
[07:26] <ubotu> techbie  if ya want an iso: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[07:27] <pike__> wait.. thats just a repo too
[07:27] <techbie> davenull: i dunno have connection in that machine, thats why  i  am looking for cd , so that i can download it from other machine
[07:27] <davenull> or you could google automatix, it installs it
[07:27] <davenull> oh, tht sucks,
[07:27] <dan_> !automatix
[07:27] <ubotu> automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[07:27] <musikgoat> anyone know of a reason why file-roller doesn't play nice with rar parts.  it seems to cut the files, and it doesn't show all the files when opening
[07:28] <davenull> lol at ubotu
[07:28] <dan_> musikgoat: never had any trouble with file-roller myself
[07:28] <dan_> musikgoat: including opening a split up rar file
[07:28] <musikgoat> dan_: have you extracted multiple files in a split rar?
[07:28] <musikgoat> hmm
[07:28] <dan_> it may have been a single file in multiple parts
[07:29] <dan_> but i was just thinking, is it possible that the actual rar is at fault? do you know that it's not corrupted?
[07:29] <musikgoat> i have 5 files in a number of parts, and i had to go into separate parts to get each of the files, they wouldn't all show in one
[07:30] <osmosis> well... installed phpmyadmin but im not getting it at  http://localhost/phpmyadmin . I checked and /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf  exists. Not sure what to do.
[07:30] <astro76> musikgoat, do you have unrar installed, not unrar-free ?
[07:30] <musikgoat> i know its not, there is an sfv file that confirms they are fine
[07:30] <musikgoat> hmm astro76 i haven't checked
[07:30] <greencookie> Does vesa drivers support resolutions higher than 1024X780?
[07:30] <astro76> musikgoat, if you have unrar-free, good chance that's the problem
[07:31] <musikgoat> no i had unrar
[07:31] <dan_> greencookie: i'm pretty sure that's the max
[07:31] <peter_office_> join #thinx
[07:31] <musikgoat> yes, i do not have unrar-free installed
[07:32] <Javid> I have a one button mouse and I have no way to rightclick, is there a way around this?
[07:32] <kapoto> How can I find out the UUID of a partition?
[07:32] <astro76> !uuid
[07:33] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[07:33] <Varka> kapoto, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[07:33] <musikgoat> Javid: did you try ctrl+click?
[07:33] <musikgoat> that works in mac
[07:33] <Javid> I did try that
[07:33] <Javid> no such luck
[07:33] <astro76> musikgoat, you could try 7zip for this rar... install p7zip-full and p7zip-rar
[07:34] <musikgoat> ok, thanks astro76
[07:34] <kapoto> astro76, varka: thanks
[07:34] <greencookie> To be able to compile and run java programs (for college HW) can I just sudo apt-get install javac?

[07:34] <davenull> anyone have a good experience with ubuntu on a laptop
[07:35] <John_R> dave: yeah. sometimes the wireless card farts though
[07:35] <command0-182> When I click on my desktop icons I get an error message
[07:35] <davenull> command0-182: can oyu open up a terminal?
[07:35] <dan_> davenull: 3 different laptops have been fine for me
[07:35] <kapoto> davenull: I have a hp pavillion dv9000 series, and everything works beautfilly
[07:35] <Varka> greencookie, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[07:36] <genesis> other than amarok... which is kde, what gnome media players have good sound and play your cds???
[07:36] <greencookie> thnx Varka
[07:36] <dan_> genesis: i like rhythmbox and banshee
[07:36] <command0-182> When I click on an Icon it says "Cannot open nautilus-computer.desktop"
[07:36] <genesis> rhythmbox doesnt play from cd
[07:37] <thor_> genesis: I still use xmms
[07:37] <command0-182> When I click & drag the computer icon from the "Places" menu the name changes to, "nautilus-computer.desktop"
[07:37] <dan_> genesis: well, it should...
[07:37] <command0-182> And then I can't open it
[07:37] <davenull> i only had 3 issues, wireless after resume, hard drive retract issue, and acpid redaings. they were all fixed with no more than 2 line shell scripts
[07:38] <pike__> command0-182: this a new install? you have any shorcuts or anything setup yet?
[07:38] <kapoto> davenull, sometimes after using my wireless, my ethernet doesn't work, but i also found a short script that I threw into a panel launcher to fix that
[07:39] <davenull> if you want to, you can make acpi run the sciprt on resume every time
[07:41] <xukun> anybody know why I can't use vncviewer? the place where I need to put the username is grey I can only type the password
[07:41] <thor_> command0-182: try opening nautilus and dragging the computer from nautilus to the desktop

[07:42] <pike__> xukun: user isnt relevant.
[07:42] <[chr0n0s]> any aplication/applet that wil give me multiple clocks(dif timezones) in xfce/xubuntu ?
[07:43] <thor_> xukun: you can always run vncviewer from the command line
[07:43] <musikgoat> astro76: 7z e file.part1.rar is working great, extracting all files
[07:43] <musikgoat> thanks
[07:43] <xukun> pike_, I have to use my username for the remote server
[07:43] <pike__> xukun: each user running on the server will be on diff port so first user to launch it will be on port 5901 then next will be 5902 etc so to connect you just specify the right port ipaddress:1 or 2
[07:43] <astro76> musikgoat, excellent
[07:44] <thor_> xukun: also...try user@ip instead of just ip address
[07:44] <xukun> hmm
[07:44] <genesis> can modifying the xorg file in anyway say whether it be from envy installing drives or myself, could it cause system problems like freezes?

[08:01] <KenSentMe> Does the package firefox-granparadiso install Firefox 3.0, and will it be installed over the current FF2 or not?
[08:01] <lewi1> Or would it be sd#,#?
[08:01] <davenull> cerealkiller: beryl is the only way to do that that i know of, if you are using 7.10, its not worth it
[08:01] <KenSentMe> lewi1, my guess it would be hd0,1
[08:02] <astro76> KenSentMe, yes actually the package is called firefox-3.0 now, you can install it alongside version 2
[08:02] <KenSentMe> astro76, ok, nice

[08:07] <knights> Hi!
[08:07] <knights> I'm new to ssh. When I've ssh'd into a remote box, is it possible for me to open files on the remote machine using apps installed on my local box? Also, how do I go about accessing my local drive from within ssh to copy files from one to the other? Is this possible using ssh?
[08:08] <albech> knights: yes with sshfs
[08:08] <davenull> lewi1: hmmm, thats a good one
[08:08] <astro76> knights, or open another terminal and use scp
[08:08] <computer_Newbee> can i clone my usb key that has ubuntu installed? can i make an .iso file out of it and burn it to cd?
[08:08] <astro76> knights, or places > connect to server
[08:09] <lewi1> davenull: I removed an ubuntu 6.06 partition. that was the one that installed grub
[08:09] <lewi1> davenull: I want only my 7.10 partition
[08:09] <computer_Newbee> what is better then k9copy? :)
[08:09] <astro76> knights, actually you can open up remote files using remote apps with X forwarding
[08:09] <CIS1987> Guy I have a problem with kopete
[08:09] <lewi1> If I end up hosing the entire thing, that's not a big problem. I backed up beforehand
[08:09] <davenull> lewi1: i think the partition might change to sda1, and then to hd0,0
[08:09] <CIS1987> it crashes when I try to log on to my MSN account
[08:10] <CIS1987> Guys I have a problem with Kopete
[08:10] <davenull> lewi1: but i dont know

[08:10] <lewi1> right now, an extended partition is sda1. it has a logical swap partition in it
[08:10] <knights> albech /astro : OK, I'll look into sshfs, but how do I use apps on my local box to open remote files?
[08:10] <astro76> CIS1987, you should ask in #kubuntu
[08:10] <cerealkiller> WHAT UR PROBLEM IN KOPETE
[08:10] <lewi1> davenull but it's at the end of the drive
[08:10] <computer_Newbee> can i clone my usb key that has ubuntu installed? can i make an .iso file out of it and burn it to cd?

[08:11] <CIS1987> cerealkiller: it crashes when I try to log on to my MSN account
[08:11] <astro76> knights, sshfs as albech mentioned
[08:11] <davenull> lewi1: do you have any inportant data or custom shell scripts?
[08:11] <lewi1> davenull: it's all backed up
[08:11] <astro76> knights, also with places > connect to server, but not all apps understand gnome's way of doing that
[08:11] <Tyroazard> Oh wait, it's just the check, but port 5 doesnt let the computer shut down
[08:11] <lewi1> i could theoretically just reinstall ubuntu 7.10 and just untar my actual installation from an external HDD

[08:13] <CIS1987> Guys does wny of you know about that Lindows (Linux Windows) project?
[08:14] <CIS1987> any**
[08:14] <astro76> it's not linux windows, it's linux
[08:14] <Tyroazard> Anyways, can someone help me in PM?
[08:15] <davenull> .pm
[08:15] <CIS1987> yes but I heard there's a project of mixing Linux with Windows
[08:15] <astro76> you've heard incorrectly ;)
[08:15] <CIS1987> and they're calling it Lindows
[08:15] <selig5> lindows is now called linspire
[08:16] <CIS1987> uh-huh
[08:16] <astro76> I guess it uses wine, but you can use that with any linux distro
[08:16] <davenull> CIS1987: lindows/linspire is a red hat based distro
[08:16] <davenull> CIS1987: you might be thinking reactOS
[08:16] <knights> Oh no! Looks like I need FUSE for sshfs but my ssh client is running 2.4.20 (its a Sharp Zaurus). You can't get FUSE for 2.4 can you so I take it I can't do sshfs
[08:16] <knights> CIS1987: Could be WINE also
[08:17] <albech> im sure they think reactOS
[08:17] <knights> CIS1987: WINE lets you run most win software under Linux at (near) full speed, if you were unaware
[08:17] <albech> reactOS seems dead to me.. not much happening there
[08:18] <davenull> reactos is a great little project
[08:18] <davenull> hope they work on it some more
[08:18] <albech> davenull: sure, but not much happening atm
[08:18] <knights> albech: Its not dead- they've made new releases in recent months
[08:18] <davenull> albech: nope, nothing in the last year really
[08:19] <albech> knights: new release, yes, but what about features and stability?
[08:19] <lwizardl> davenull, you know much about wine on ubuntu 7.10?
[08:19] <davenull> what are you trying to install, first?
[08:20] <lwizardl> well i have some dvd apps i like
[08:20] <brandon_> so what are some good native linux games?
[08:20] <lewi1> davenull: I found that I just need to mount the partition I want to keep from a liveCD and then type "grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/root /dev/hda"
[08:20] <irvken> I have this bug -  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/135833 how do I upgrade to the 2.6.23 to fix it permanently
[08:20] <lwizardl> dvd decrypter, dvd shrink, imgburn
[08:20] <lwizardl> but unless I keep a disc in the drive when i start the applications it can't find any cd drives under wine
[08:20] <brandon_>  so what are some good native linux games?
[08:20] <astro76> lwizardl, you don't need imgburn or dvd decrypter whatsoever, dvd shrink maybe
[08:20] <davenull> lwizardl: they have great linux equivilents for those
[08:21] <astro76> lwizardl, but there is k9copy I think too
[08:21] <davenull> lewi1: great, i was worried for ya
[08:21] <albech> brandon_: bzflag ;)
[08:21] <astro76> !games | brandon_
[08:21] <ubotu> brandon_: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[08:21] <lwizardl> astro76, k9copy seems to hate my dvds
[08:21] <astro76> lwizardl, that's why I gave you dvd shrink ;)
[08:21] <davenull> brandon_: alien arena, quake 3 has a native engine also
[08:22] <brandon_> ya
[08:22] <Clearze2> lwizardl: If you are looking to rip dvd's acidrip works well
[08:22] <pewpewarrows> bradon_: battle for wesnoth is a nice low-resource game
[08:22] <brandon_> got those was wondering if there were anymore multiplayer ones
[08:22] <davenull> brandon_: digg has a great articl on games for ubuntu specifically
[08:22] <pewpewarrows> brandon_: starcraft, diablo, and wow all run perfectly on wine
[08:23] <brandon_> really well I tried counterstrike source and it blew
[08:23] <lwizardl> astro76, and i do need imgburn becuase no linux apps I have found so far seem to allow writing at 2.4x on DL discs
[08:23] <pewpewarrows> brandon_: in my experience steam is pretty much hit or miss
[08:23] <davenull> steam does great too, pay for cedega and it work as well or better than xp
[08:23] <brandon_> notibly defferent compared to windows
[08:23] <astro76> lwizardl, you tried k3b?
[08:24] <lewi1> davenull: is cedega worth the money?
[08:24] <lwizardl> astro76, yup and K3B i can only burn at 2x 4x etc and after burning 1 disc it says no media inserted
[08:24] <jewking> hey does anyone know how i can find out what wireless chipset im using
[08:24] <davenull> lewi1: every penny, you can get it on a torrent too, but i bought it after i "borrowed" it
[08:24] <lwizardl> even when ubuntu desktop has an icon for blank dvd
[08:24] <pewpewarrows> lewil: definately, it's worth every cent
[08:25] <lwizardl> astro76, I replaced K3B with the linux version of Nero
[08:25] <astro76> jewking, lspci
[08:25] <brandon_> doesn't sidga come on mandriva?
[08:25] <brandon_> (however its spelled)
[08:25] <davenull> yeah
[08:25] <computer_Newbee> can i copy dvd to .iso with dvdrip?
[08:25] <computer_Newbee> can i copy dvd to .iso with acidrip?
[08:25] <brandon_> really well why do I ahve ubuntu then? lol
[08:25] <davenull> brandon_: cedega
[08:26] <computer_Newbee> *acidrip
[08:26] <Kein> Why is GDM repeatedly breaking?
[08:26] <brandon_> I think I need to try that out then
[08:26] <jewking> astro76: thanks
[08:26] <davenull> davenull: cedega has a pre compiled .deb installer
[08:26] <davenull> package sorry
[08:26] <davenull> lol
[08:27] <Kein> http://pastebin.ca/792288 Can anyone tell me what's going on here?  I purged GDM and made SURE that folder didn't exist.
[08:27] <davenull> been a year, still call them installers1
[08:27] <brandon_> is mandriva worth it? has anyone tried it?
[08:27] <SETKEH> hey guys just a quik question i have 3 distros of linux .iso files on my windows desktop is there i way i can put all 3 onto a bootable dvd simaler to the way apc does with a grub looking interface????
[08:27] <lewi1> sorry brandon_, I've been too happy with ubuntu to try other distros
[08:28] <brandon_> ya true I do like this alot works good
[08:28] <davenull> brandon_: its all right, but linux is about NOT paying for software, so its your call
[08:28] <SETKEH> brandon_:  i think your in the worng room for that one mate lol but yes madriva is a nice stable distro
[08:28] <brandon_> ya I know but thanks guys
[08:28] <davenull> brandon_: de nada
[08:28] <brandon_> I think Im downloading that alien game right now
[08:29] <V1k1ng> i didn't like the alien game
[08:29] <computer_Newbee> can i clone my usb key that has ubuntu installed? can i make an .iso file out of it and burn it to cd?
[08:29] <V1k1ng> i like the flight sim tho
[08:29] <davenull> brandon_: its pretty good, lan game is fun with friends
[08:29] <brandon_> v1k1ng really if its like quake at all Ill like it
[08:29] <brandon_> ya it multiplayer to right
[08:29] <davenull> brandon_: it has a bot mode too
[08:29] <Javid> is there a command to swap the mouse orientation? (right-hand to left?)
[08:29] <brandon_> davenull to bad none of my friends use linux
[08:30] <V1k1ng> warsow won't even run  :(
[08:30] <KillerNoName> I installed 7.10 using the network method of booting (no CD/DVD), and I might have skipped it by accident (since I was watching TV while installing) but basically, I got the OS installed but never created an account. Is there anyway to create an account now or will I have to reinstall (which took forever).
[08:30] <astro76> Javid, System > Preferences > Mouse
[08:30] <god_> hello everybody.. can someone please tell a good download manager like IDM to use on ubuntu please?
[08:30] <Javid> astro76, I mean COMMAND, like terminal command
[08:30] <brandon_> v1k1ng I thought that was one of the games that would
[08:30] <User2005> Whats the best way to get back your web pages after you minimize ?
[08:30] <davenull> brandon_: good thing there is a windoze version, and its made bt idSoft
[08:30] <lewi1> god_ I use the DownThemAll extension in Firefox
[08:31] <V1k1ng> 3d fps games have been disappointing on linux
[08:31] <brandon_> really kewl
[08:31] <brandon_> didn't know that
[08:31] <astro76> Javid, you could do it with a change to ButtonMapping in xorg.conf
[08:31] <lewi1> user2005: If you minimize, any open webpages should still be there
[08:31] <theflyingfool> when someones wireless is wlan1 or wmaster1... how do you get it to act like a normal connection where it will be like eth1
[08:31] <god_> but does it manage up to 60 parts the mozilla plugtin?
[08:31] <brandon_> I want to play call of duty is there is taht goin to be native?
[08:31] <astro76> Javid, i.e. change "1 2 3" to "2 1 3"
[08:31] <blahjust> how do i change the brightness of my monitor in ubuntu?
[08:32] <lewi1> blahjust: There is an applet you can add to a panel
[08:32] <davenull> brandon_: read the wikipedia article
[08:32] <lewi1> lewi1: most laptops have function buttons that do that, too
[08:32] <blahjust> the laptop applet doesn;t work
[08:32] <astro76> Javid, actually xmodmap
[08:32] <blahjust> this is a desktop
[08:32] <User2005> Thats the problem the web page out of sight some were on the desk top ...Whats the best way to get the page back...Any hot keys ?
[08:32] <freepenguin> hello
[08:32] <davenull> blahjust: your monitor
[08:32] <lewi1> god_ It does up to 5 parts. Most http servers don't allow more than that from a single IP address anyways
[08:32] <blahjust> my monitor doesn't have brightness settings
[08:32] <Javid> astro76, I am looking for a single command that will swap it real quick, I guess there isn't one
[08:33] <KillerNoName> Sorry if my previous question was wordy and unclear, but I don't think the network boot method of installing asked me to create a username and password for an account. Now, I have Ubuntu fully installed but no account to log in with. Is there anyway to log in without a reinstallation?
[08:33] <lewi1> blahjust: Try the power management settings
[08:33] <davenull> blahjust: then you have the oddest monitor ive ever met
[08:33] <blahjust> well actually
[08:33] <blahjust> it is
[08:33] <lewi1> blahjust and I agree with davenull
[08:33] <astro76> Javid, xmodmap -e "pointer = 2 1 3 4 5 6 7", that's a single command
[08:33] <User2005> ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
[08:33] <blahjust> i just built a home made projector
[08:33] <Javid> astro76, thanks
[08:33] <blahjust> with an lcd screen
[08:33] <blahjust> it's kinda odd
[08:33] <blahjust> but big :D
[08:34] <davenull> blahjust: oh, cool, great job
[08:34] <lewi1> User2005: I would look on other workspaces
[08:34] <blahjust> thanks
[08:34] <computer_Newbee> can i clone my usb key that has ubuntu installed? can i make an .iso file out of it and burn it to cd?
[08:34] <blahjust> i fried 3 lcd monitors in the making
[08:34] <lewi1> User2005: You should see small rectangles in the bottom right corner
[08:34] <blahjust> lol
[08:34] <User2005> Yea right...
[08:34] <lewi1> User2005: click them and see if it shows up in one of htem
[08:34] <Lapinux> can someone tell me how i get gnome to ask me if im sure i want to delete something?
[08:34] <blahjust> so the brightness things? anyone know?
[08:34] <davenull> blahjust: nice, if you dont break it, you didnt learn anything at all. personal moto
[08:35] <lewi1> Lapinux: Anything you delete goes in your trash bin. You don't really need a confirmation dialogue.
[08:35] <blahjust> yeah, i had to sell my computer to pay for it, so now i'm down to a 1.4 ghz...but i can deal
[08:35] <astro76> computer_Newbee, you want to take an installed system on a usb drive and clone it to make a livecd? that won't work
[08:35] <lewi1> Lapinux: You can reach your trash bin by clicking in the bottom-right hand corner
[08:35] <astro76> computer_Newbee, you could customize the livecd though
[08:35] <Lapinux> lewil: i would like one so if i do it on accident i dont have to go dig it out
[08:35] <computer_Newbee> how
[08:35] <John_5> Hey a driver I got says I need the kernel source.. Where do I get that?
[08:36] <astro76> computer_Newbee, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[08:36] <computer_Newbee> thnx
[08:36] <Lapinux> i might do it on accident and not realize i did it....
[08:36] <davenull> Lapinux: then you just restore it
[08:36] <lewi1> Lapinux: That's true. You can easily head to the trash bin and move a file or the entire thing back.
[08:37] <lewi1> Lapinux: That said, there is a way.
[08:37] <lewi1> Lapinux: Open up natilus, the file browser
[08:37] <davenull> Lapinux: or dont use delete without carefully checking to see if the file is VITAL to your OS
[08:37] <Savior> hello
[08:37] <Lapinux> Davenull: my point is what if i dont realize i bumped the delete key, and find something is not working, i woulnt know why
[08:37] <lewi1> Lapinux: Choose Edit > Preferences > Behaviour
[08:37] <Savior> I have a question related to package management. Can someone help me plz?
[08:37] <davenull> Lapinux: true, but im a risk taker
[08:38] <lewi1> Lapinux: In the Trash section, choose the options you want
[08:38] <astro76> Lapinux, you couldn't delete anything outside your home directory
[08:38] <lewi1> Savior: Just ask your question. That's why we're here.
[08:38] <Savior> ok, how do I downgrade a package?
[08:38] <astro76> Lapinux, you are NOT leaving nautilus running as root are you?
[08:38] <lewi1> Lapinux: I hope that helps.
[08:38] <Savior> kaffeine and libxine do not like each other recently (after last upgrade), so I need to downgrade kaffeine
[08:39] <Lapinux> lewi1: thanks
[08:39] <davenull> Lapinux: true, if you are running in  a non root window, you cant delete anything important
[08:40] <hangthedj> John_5, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[08:40] <davenull> Lapinux: if you run nautilus as su, be careful
[08:40] <Lapinux> this is true, i just like the confirmation
[08:40] <John_5> thanks
[08:40] <lewi1> Savior: Actually, I have no idea.
[08:40] <lewi1> Savior: don't despair though. Someone else might, and new people sign on all the time
[08:41] <John_5> what does the -r paramater mean?
[08:41] <davenull> Lapinux: i understand, never thought of the need for it before
[08:41] <hangthedj> release
[08:41] <hangthedj> kernel release
[08:41] <astro76> Savior, maybe you could ask in #kubuntu on how to fix the problem instead of downgrading
[08:41] <John_5> thanks
[08:41] <Lapinux> davenull: i did create a sudo launcher for nautilus on my desktop, no plans to use it as of now, its a just encase i need it, and i know the dangers
[08:42] <User2005> if i minimize one then hit the workspace all go away but the one never returns...
[08:42] <lewi1> Savior: type the following phrase: /join #kubuntu
[08:42] <astro76> Lapinux, you can do that but definitely don't leave it open longer than necessary
[08:42] <davenull> Lapinux: the safest way is just to run sudo nautilus from term, cant accidentally do that
[08:42] <Lapinux> davenull: i tend to accidently delete things in windows when i rename things and  i like the confirmation, that is all....
[08:42] <astro76> Lapinux, also you are using gksudo, not sudo to launch it right? ;)
[08:42] <Clearze2> davenull: Wouldn't it be gksu nautilus
[08:42] <astro76> !gksu
[08:42] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[08:43] <blahjust> ok i figured it out.....in terminal type: nvidia-settings
[08:43] <blahjust> to mess with brightness etc on nvidia cards
[08:43] <davenull> Lapinux: i know, i am guilty of drunk admin
[08:43] <lewi1> blahjust: that would work. i've never known it to be so difficult. maybe it's the home brew
[08:43] <dion> thanx ubout, lern sumting new evry day
[08:43] <User2005> Yea Yea ...
[08:43] <Lapinux> davenull: i created a launcher "gksudo nautilus computer:///" and i know its sudo as im prompted for my password
[08:43] <dion> ...like my kbrd skills suck
[08:44] <Lapinux> davenull: drunken computer operation is a crime....
[08:44] <Clearze2> Lapinux: No, it's an adventure
[08:44] <Lapinux> lol
[08:44] <davenull> Lapinux: true, thats why i gave up drinking
[08:44] <Lapinux> im guilty as well
[08:44] <Lapinux> though not a frequent flyer
[08:44] <davenull> Lapinux: the computer is way more addicting
[08:45] <lewi1> davenull: Yeah. I definitely should either be homeworking or sleeping now
[08:45] <Lapinux> yes, my gf asks me all the time "when are you coming to bed...?"
[08:45] <zulay> we
[08:45] <Savior> ok, I'll try there, but it
[08:45] <Lapinux> i say, soon
[08:45] <lewi1> lapinux: *headdesk*
[08:45] <Savior> 's not just about the problem, it's a theoratical question as well :)
[08:45] <Lapinux> lewi1: hrrrm?
[08:46] <lewi1> lapinux: My gf would shoot me if I said that! :P
[08:46] <davenull> davenull: i used drugs, now i inject the kernel directly into the blood/brain barrier
[08:46] <davenull> much better
[08:46] <computer_Newbee> anything better then k9copy?
[08:46] <davenull> lol
[08:46] <Clearze2> computer_Newbee: for what?
[08:46] <Lapinux> wow, i need to get myself through one more night of work this afternoon
[08:47] <computer_Newbee> to copy encrypted dvd
[08:47] <Lapinux> then its 6 days Opeace
[08:47] <Lapinux> err O'peace

[08:50] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[08:50] <computer_Newbee> memcoder is for linux?
[08:50] <dion> infact... dvdshrink is the only reason i still have windows
[08:50] <Clearze2> computer_Newbee: Yeah, it is a command line based program
[08:51] <Clearze2> computer_Newbee: acidrip runs on it
[08:51] <whabo> astro76: i cant boot teh liveCd at all i cant go into linux .. im stuck
[08:51] <davenull> dion: the linux version is good enough
[08:51] <computer_Newbee> but u can wine dvdshrink? thats good
[08:51] <Clearze2> computer_Newbee: You can
[08:51] <kritzstapf> computer_Newbee: i noticed you a link to shrink
[08:51] <dion> wot iz linux version
[08:51] <Clearze2> dion: is that english?
[08:51] <astro76> whabo, then it's due to something else, not that error about broadcom microcode
[08:51] <computer_Newbee> is memcoder better then dvdshronk?
[08:51] <astro76> mencoder
[08:52] <astro76> computer_Newbee, apples and oranges
[08:52] <davenull> dvd95
[08:52] <dion> lol, usually yes, but i'm a bit scattered at the moment
[08:52] <computer_Newbee> :)
[08:52] <Clearze2> computer_Newbee: It is built for *nix so you won't run into the same problems using it
[08:52] <astro76> computer_Newbee, dvdshrink does dual to single layer, mencoder doesn't that but does everything else under the sun ;)
[08:52] <computer_Newbee> yeah they are both open source?
[08:52] <whabo> astro76: that is teh only error i get. i tried to look up in the forum for some help but no luck...:( im really stuck here
[08:53] <Clearze2> computer_Newbee: As far as I know dvdshrink isn't and it only has a windows build. But I could be wrong. I don't use it.
[08:53] <monkey_> how to play mp3 on firefox?
[08:53] <kritzstapf> with the totem-plugin
[08:53] <computer_Newbee> thnx guys
[08:53] <dran56> hey
[08:54] <dran56> jest tam kto z polski ?
[08:54] <monkey_> kritzstapf: i have installed, it did not work
[08:54] <User2005> Whats the best way to run realplayer ?
[08:54] <Clearze2> User2005: Use something else
[08:54] <kritzstapf> monkey_: can you play mp3 with totem?
[08:54] <User2005> lol...
[08:54] <kritzstapf> monkey_: maybe youre just missing codecs
[08:54] <Clearze2> User2005: why do you want to?
[08:54] <User2005> Got me...
[08:54] <Varka> dion, computer_Newbee : checked out k9copy already?
[08:54] <computer_Newbee> yes
[08:54] <computer_Newbee> i have
[08:55] <computer_Newbee> i am trying to copy a block buster dvd
[08:55] <qdinfo> 有两 个问题 在这里请教一下大家。
[08:55] <monkey_> kritzstapf: don't have a mp3 file to test at this moment
[08:55] <dion> no, not yet
[08:55] <computer_Newbee> so far it is "copying"
[08:55] <kritzstapf> monkey_: download one :)
[08:55] <monkey_> kritzstapf: let me apt get some codecs

[08:56] <monkey_> kritzstapf: from where?
[08:56] <davenull> computer_Newbee: dvd95
[08:56] <computer_Newbee> dvd95 better then k9copy?
[08:56] <monkey_> qdinfo: ask away
[08:56] <kritzstapf> monkey_: you said you cant play mp3 with firefox, so there it is, your mp3.
[08:56] <davenull> computer_Newbee: ehhh, its gtk based so it doesnt use qt
[08:57] <davenull> monkey_: lol
[08:57] <computer_Newbee> qt?
[08:57] <oj> is there away to mount .daa images?
[08:57] <monkey_> kritzstapf: well, it's supposed to be stream via the plugin in firefox
[08:57] <Clearze2> oj: Are they image files?
[08:57] <oj> yeah
[08:57] <NemesisD> is there some way to blacklist ubuntu from reading a certain drive? ubuntu has started to hang and I think it's because of 2 fakeraid drives that I use on windows, i get an error "attempt to access beyond end of device" repeated again and again in my logs
[08:58] <Clearze2> oj: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/.daa /mount/point  <---try that
[08:58] <monkey_> i'll just reboot this damn thing and hope some server will be turn on with some apts that i installed earlier
[08:58] <davenull> computer_Newbee: its the base for kde gui apps, sometimes they dont play nice with gnome
[08:58] <NemesisD> it's gotten into some sort of loop and stranger than that, it just started today

[08:59] <tony_> Why is eclipse marked as dependant on Firefox?
[08:59] <dan_> I want to provide the easiest possible way for my friends with a dynamic IP address to have me ssh into their computer for help, i was thinking using a VPN somehow, does anyone have any ideas?
[09:00] <davenull> computer_Newbee: gneral rule, use gtk based apps with gnome, kde apps start with "k"
[09:00] <computer_Newbee> hmmm maybe i will go back to xubuntu
[09:00] <revilodraw> which progs u guys using to rip/copy dvds these days?
[09:01] <computer_Newbee> k9copy
[09:01] <dan_> dvd::rip and acidrip (i believe that's what the second one is called)
[09:01] <davenull> computer_Newbee: k9copy work fine though, and you will almost never have a problem with kde apps
[09:01] <astro76> dan_, vpn does nothing to solve the issue of dynamic IPs, you want something like dyndns.com, which dns service
[09:01] <astro76> dan_, *which provides a free dynamic dns service
[09:02] <Clearze2> dan_: Dynamic IP's don't tend to change that often. I have a dynamic ip through my isp and it hasn't changed in months
[09:02] <revilodraw> thanks!!
[09:03] <eckesicle> I need to play content that only works with flash player 7. I tried gnash and flash 9. How would I downgrade? I cannot find an appropriate package, Am on gutsy 64bit

[09:03] <kaleh> hi all. is the gaming.gwos site down?
[09:03] <kaleh> can't get the page
[09:04] <kaleh> where do i look for good RPGs to play on ubuntu?
[09:04] <dan_> astro76: well i don't think i understand vpn terribly well, but i assumed if my end was static, if they connected to the vpn then I could easily keep track of their computer and ssh in
[09:04] <Clearze2> dan_: No, but you could track it through DNS
[09:04] <NemesisD> anyone?
[09:04] <computer_Newbee> !free energy
[09:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about free energy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[09:05] <bullgard4> [IRC] How does the IRC protcol call a line of text followed by CR which an OP sends to the IRC network? Does the protocol call it a 'post', 'posting', 'transmission' or how?
[09:05] <astro76> dan_, just use dyndns then, you can add the dyndns info to their router, or failing that there are clients for linux and windows
[09:05] <revilodraw> when i try to open a video in linux (avi, mpeg, etc) i get "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device"
[09:05] <dgjones> NemesisD, are the drives listed in your fstab file? could you remove the lines or comment them out?
[09:06] <davenull> revilodraw: what player?
[09:06] <NemesisD> dgjones, no they aren't but i still keep getting those attempt to access beyond end of device errors
[09:06] <NemesisD> dgjones, so for some reason ubuntu is poking around them when it shouldn't be
[09:07] <revilodraw> davenull: lol yeh sorry...mplayer
[09:07] <dgjones> NemesisD, not sure what to suggest if they're not in fstab, that was my only immediate thought
[09:07] <NemesisD> crap
[09:08] <NemesisD> i really wanted to get my pc back to normal by tomorrow but i'm having trouble staying awake
[09:08] <davenull> revilodraw: go to the video tab in preferences
[09:08] <oj> Clearze2: it says you must specifiy the filesystem type
[09:08] <davenull> revilodraw: tell me what driver is highlighted
[09:08] <dgjones> NemesisD, maybe asking again later on when there's more people on line would be better if you're tired anyway
[09:09] <revilodraw> davenull; xmga
[09:10] <Clearze2> oj: I looked at it and it won't work anyway. That is a poweriso file. You may be able to use it with acetone
[09:10] <Varka> revilodraw, try changing it to xv
[09:10] <davenull> revilodraw: choose x11(Ximage,/SHM) option

[09:11] <dion> whats gutsy like with drivers, i got feisty and is ok.... but probs with webcam
[09:11] <Clearze2> oj: There is a tarball for poweriso on their webpage. But you would have to compile it to use it.

[09:11] <xTheGoat121x> Interesting... apparently tryin to get video working?
[09:11] <levander> I just opened up Evolution for the first time.  I been using Thunderbird.  What's this "On This Computer" thing at the top of my accounts list?  Right after "On My Computer" is the email address for the 1 email account I've set up under olution.
[09:11] <oj> Clearze2: suppose i switch to windows, and extract the .daa files and make a .iso image...will it be able to mount then?
[09:12] <Clearze2> oj: Yes
[09:12] <monkey_> i can play mp3 files locally, but if it's inside firefox, i can't. how to fix?
[09:12] <Clearze2> oj: Using the command I gave you earlier
[09:12] <abbe> Is /etc/init.d/hp{iod,ssd} no more present in hplip. I'm running dapper 6.06 and installed hplip from hplip.sf.net. ?
[09:12] <oj> Clearze2: ty... i'll try it
[09:12] <switchcat> Hmmm I'm seeing a lot of freezes at or shortly after bootup since the last few 'upgrades' on current 7.10 ... anybody else see or know of such a similar increase (originally I thought it was that my system just stopped accepting keyboard and/or mouse inputs, but now I think the entire system is freezing..
[09:12] <eckesicle> Flash 7 anyone?
[09:12] <abbe> just wanted to confirm whether its installed properly or not.
[09:12] <eckesicle> !flash > eckesicle
[09:13] <jonah> hey guys. i need the beta driver installed as i get the lockups/freezes bug with stable release on 7300 geforce. i'm on ubuntu amd64, but i get an api mismatch after running the installer... can anyone help fix this?
[09:13] <monkey_> audio/mpeg 	MP3 audio 	mp3 	Yes
[09:13] <levander> switchcat: There are a few issues (like always) you're being way too vague.  Try to determine where in the startup process it's locking up.
[09:13] <monkey_> that's what it says in "about:plugins" on firefox
[09:13] <levander> No one can even answer a basic question about Evolution?
[09:14] <oj> hi fyrestrtr
[09:14] <oj> wonder who that could be
[09:14] <switchcat> levander - uhm, well, it's locked up both before it's fully booted, as well as after it's fully booted.. so do you have any suggestions on where to start?
[09:14] <fyrestrtr> !identify | oj
[09:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about identify - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:14] <noobee> levander - r u sure u dont mean intelligent design??? :)
[09:14] <switchcat> sometimes it's after I've logged in, sometimes it's before..
[09:14] <switchcat> sometimes it's before I'm even able to log in.
[09:15] <fyrestrtr> !register > oj
[09:15] <dion> noobee - very droll
[09:15] <Clearze2> switchcat: switch to a shell with ctrl+alt f1 and see if it is giving you kernel errors
[09:15] <VSpike> my fonts in firefox in gutsy look absolutely hideous.  Is there anything that can be done about it?
[09:15] <Clearze2> switchcat: Also check dmesg for clues or /var/log
[09:15] <levander> switchcat: a lot of stuff happens during the boot process, *where* in the boot process?  They've got that progress bar/splash screen these days covering up all the boot messages.  Maybe that's why you don't know where?  You've got to figre out how to disable that thing.  It might be as simple as Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to the console, not sure, been awhile since I done it.
[09:16] <VSpike> I'm not one that usually cares too much about these things, but they are making my eyes hurt
[09:16] <levander> switchcat: You can boot into rescue mode would be one way to see all the boot messages.
[09:16] <switchcat> clearze - i've done that.. it seems to output nothing, and the point is.. at some points cntrl alt f1 becomes totally useless.
[09:16] <levander> switchcat: 'dmesg' at the command prompt will "replay" the printing of the boot messages (if you can get it to boot)
[09:16] <Clearze2> switchcat: If you have another linux box when it freezes ssh in and run top to see what processes are zombies as well
[09:16] <switchcat> yes, I know what dmesg does
[09:17] <switchcat> the problem is... that... if I can successfully apply dmesg... then I haven't seen the problem
[09:17] <levander> switchcat: good point
[09:17] <switchcat> the system totally freezes to the point of a hardware reboot being the only solution.
[09:17] <Clearze2> switchcat: will it allow ssh connections after it freezes?
[09:17] <greedo> morning, where could i find information on hardware detection/configuration for gutsy on a macbook pro santa rosa please ?
[09:18] <levander> switchcat: do you get to the point where you have the progress bar logo thing during booting?
[09:18] <fyrestrtr> greedo: popin the livecd and see what is detected.
[09:18] <levander> greedo: You're gonna have to be more specific, is there a specific piece of hardware not being detected?
[09:18] <switchcat> clearze - no other system to check - unlikely I think.  As I said, I've thought originally that it was just stopping accepting input from the keyboard/mouse, but now I think it's entirely freezing
[09:19] <VSpike> switchcat: when you get the grub menu, you can select the entry you normally boot and press 'e'... then you can edit the kernel boot line...
[09:19] <greedo> it's installed, but i don't have wifi, i don't have right click, otherwise it's pretty much working.
[09:19] <levander> switchcat: yeah, if it suddenly stops receiving keybouard input, entirely possible it's freezing
[09:19] <switchcat> levande - yes, I see that... and it stops at different points.. or it gets to the logon screen.. or it lets me login and start x... or it lets me logon via console.. and THEN it freezes.. it's being totally unpredictable
[09:19] <VSpike> switchcat: select it and press 'e' again, add 'nosplash' and remove 'quiet'
[09:19] <levander> switchcat: if you can see the clock when it freezes, you can see if the clock keeps counting time or not
[09:19] <dion> yea, wifi was fun to install
[09:19] <VSpike> switchcat: then press enter and then 'b' to boot
[09:19] <levander> switchcat: that happens sometimes
[09:20] <levander> switchcat: you've got to figure out what it's doing (at these different times) making it freeze
[09:20] <VSpike> switchcat: you can also permanently disable splash by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst and then running sudo update-grub
[09:20] <levander> switchcat: you may have a hardware issue, which are a bitch to pinpoint.
[09:20] <shishirmk> teach me how to install tar.gz packages
[09:20] <levander> switchcat: first thing though, find out what the machine is doing when it freezes
[09:20] <shishirmk> please
[09:21] <switchcat> yeah thanks.. no clue yet. :|
[09:21] <levander> switchcat: is it network access that makes it freeze, or maybe it's freezing when the internal temps get too high
[09:21] <levander> switchcat: or, maybe there's just a bad black on the PC's hard disk, that when accessed freezes the box
[09:21] <switchcat> vspike yeah - that no-text splash screen is annoying.. I mean I like graphical.. and progress bars and all.. but it WOULD be nice to have the text scroll too..
[09:21] <levander> switchcat: if you can get int, the first thing to do is look at /var/log/syslog
[09:21] <stash> stash
[09:22] <levander> switchcat: see if there's anything in there that looks like an error.
[09:22] <fyrestrtr> switchcat: turn off silent boot
[09:22] <bullgard4> [Samba, GNOME] I installed Ubuntu 7.10 on laptop 2 anew using the Ubuntu 7.10 desktop CD. Now I cannot see the shared directory of laptop 1 in the LAN 'MSHOME' any more.

[09:22] <shishirmk> hey i need to install the flsah players they are in the .tear.gz package please tel me how to
[09:22] <VSpike> switchcat: yeah, i prefer to see the boot messages :) they just hide them because to many people who are new to linux they look scary and old-fashioned :)
[09:22] <levander> switchcat: syslog is like Event Viewer in Windows.  It's where applications (and the kernel) log important stuff that's happened on the box.
[09:22] <fyrestrtr> !flash shishirmk
[09:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flash shishirmk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:22] <shishirmk> or atleast give me a link which explains this
[09:22] <fyrestrtr> !flash | shishirmk
[09:22] <ubotu> shishirmk: 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

[09:22] <levander> fyrestrtr: How do you turn off silent boot?
[09:23] <shishirmk> hey flash player for my browsers.. opera and firefox
[09:23] <switchcat> vspike - yeah.. they should provide a simple way to turn them on to display in a small box on the splash screen.. and call it a "diagnostic mode" or something. :)
[09:23] <fyrestrtr> levander: by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst -- or by simply editing the grub line at the grub menu (hit e, then remove 'quiet' and 'splash' from the kernel line)
[09:23] <gigolo_butuh_wan> #salatiga
[09:24] <levander> fyrestrtr: cool, i'll remember that tip
[09:24] <VSpike> switchcat - you may find that the recovery mode has the splash disabled by default
[09:24] <monkey_> anyone know why firefox's plugin will not play mp3?
[09:24] <levander> fyrestrtr: random lockups are no easy thing to debug, be prepared for an adventure!!
[09:24] <gigolo_butuh_wan> hi
[09:24] <switchcat> levander - I don't think it's internal temps.. my computer is in an unheated room and it's winter where I am now..
[09:24] <levander> Oh, I meant that last comment for switchcat.
[09:24] <gaYloVerZ> too
[09:25] <levander> VSpike: switchcat: yeah, rescue mode does have the splash disabled by default
[09:25] <fyrestrtr> monkey_: perhaps you need to install the !codecs
[09:25] <switchcat> vspike - yeah, but I sort of meant as both a way for newbies to not be scared and for old timers to get the data they want.. all the time.. rather than just at recovery time
[09:25] <levander> switchcat: ambient temperature is rarely the problem.  If you don't have proper airflow inside your PC, it could still overheat.
[09:26] <dion> i hate being a newbee
[09:26] <levander> switchcat: Did you build your PC yourself, or did you just buy the whole thing already assembled?
[09:26] <VSpike> switchcat: i see what you mean
[09:26] <monkey_> fyrestrtr: which codec?
[09:26] <hangthedj> does anyone know how to tell totem which video driver to use?
[09:26] <monkey_> !codecs

[09:27] <switchcat> I've probably got 4 fans currently running inside this case, and it's only a pIII 500mhz
[09:27] <noobee> can sum1 tell me how to DL all the rooms using linux "pidgin" clients?
[09:27] <levander> switchcat: If the machine is pre-built, like a DELL, you probably don't have to worry about temps.  But you can check them by installing the lm-sensors package.
[09:27] <fyrestrtr> noobee: type /list
[09:27] <levander> switchcat: the heatsink could be seated unproperly
[09:27] <switchcat> I built it myself, antec full tower case

[09:28] <fyrestrtr> santa_: what are you installing?
[09:28] <levander> switchcat: but, if you don't think it's the temps, check /var/log/syslog, temps is just a common cause of random lockups
[09:28] <WildeSehnsucht> hello. i have a small problem using nvclock_(qt|gtk). if i set value of "GPU clock" or "Memory clock" the system freezes and only "Reset" button helps. Is there any minimal settings for GeForce FX 5700 (AGP)?

[09:28] <Varka> !anyone | mikebeecham
[09:28] <ubotu> mikebeecham: 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?
[09:29] <corinth> Hi room, does anyone know how to set different wallpapers for different monitors in Ubuntu 7.10?
[09:29] <mikebeecham> Varka....the reason is because this is VERY complicated and it will take a huge amount of time to type up
[09:29] <oxeimon> does anyone know how to either remove the new fglrx 8.42, or to make it run faster?
[09:29] <fyrestrtr> corinth: this is a limitation of gnome -- you cannot d this in gnome, but in kde you can.
[09:29] <noobee> switchcat: did u use thermal paste bet the CPU and the heat sink?
[09:29] <levander> ubotu: Varka: Because, the person is not sure how to ask, so they're looking for a frame of reference when they ask "anyone?" first.  I've done that before.
[09:29] <santa_> ** http://ltp.sourceforge.net
[09:30] <santa_> fyrestrtr, yes
[09:30] <kyled185> is there a repository somewhere that will keep the fglrx driver updated along with kernel updates?
[09:30] <mikebeecham> ok...here goes....
[09:30] <corinth> fyrestrtr: There is no program I can install to do this?
[09:30] <VSpike> ugh not sure how much longer I can stand looking at firefox
[09:30] <levander> corinth: right click on the desktop, it's down in that menu somewhere, you get a dialog from that menu that lets you do it
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> santa_: sudo apt-get install ltp-kernel-test
[09:31] <revilodraw> davenull; if you are still here, the error i now get (after changing the driver) is "Could not open required directshow codec wmvdmod.dll"
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> santa_: also try apt-cache search ltp
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> corinth: I do not know of any.
[09:31] <void^> santa_: make sure it uses bash, and not dash.
[09:31] <santa_> yeah, kernel-test is the package that failed to install when i tried to install it that way
[09:31] <void^> santa_: (wrt the configure error)
[09:31] <santa_> void, whats the difference and how do i know which one its using?
[09:31] <elkbuntu> levander, the point is when people come in and ask if anyone knows anything about a certain program, and then expect a guru to hop up and devote time to them... rather than just outlining their problem and letting everyone see it and maybe pluck that bit of knowledge from their own experiences
[09:32] <[chr0n0s]> aww man ubuntu not working :(
[09:32] <revilodraw> davenull: actually the video is now working! thanks! i still get the error, but a simple click fixes that.
[09:32] <corinth> fyrestrtr: Thanks.
[09:32] <stranded> hello and hi :) i'm a new user of ubuntu 7.10, i have only one problem, i don't know how to install TV Tuner - Prolink PV-BT878P+4E (PixelView PlayTV PAK) - card's ID is 50. Can anyone provide me some links, tutorials or faq? please help, that's the only thing i need to get rid off windows! :D
[09:32] <santa_> fyrestrtr, ltp-kernel-test package failed when trying to install it through synaptic, could whatever reason that failed to install be causing this to fail?
[09:32] <VSpike> time to install Opera
[09:32] <levander> elkbuntu: If they knew how to outline their problem well, they probably wouldn't be so stammering in the first place.  I've had problems I didn't know how to outline.
[09:32] <void^> santa_: 'ls -l /bin/sh'. you can replace /bin/sh with /bin/bash in the first line of the script, or change the symlink.
[09:33] <fyrestrtr> santa_: depends on the error.
[09:33] <henno> ok, two days on and I still cannot get gutsy to let me login without crashing X
[09:33] <levander> stranded: my TV tuner was "auto-detected".  Have you tried just shutting down, sliding the card in, and rebooting?
[09:33] <santa_> this was the error i got from synaptic: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/ltp-kernel-test_20060918-2ubuntu3_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/debian-test/tests/linux/runtest/syscalls', which is also in package ltp-commands-test
[09:33] <henno> everything works fine on the livecd, what changes once it is installed?
[09:33] <oxeimo1> can someone please help me uninstall fglrx 8.42
[09:33] <santa_> all the other packages installed fine
[09:34] <mikebeecham> I have a dual boot machine, Windows and Linux.  When booted into Windows I have created some shared folders that hold all of my media, which is sitting on a secondary hard drive (This is called 'media'....mp3s, movies, etc.  I have an xbox media center downstairs that accesses these folders and streams the media from Windows upstairs.  When booted into Windows, all works fine....when booted into Gutsy Gibbon, the media center downstairs cannot 
[09:34] <mikebeecham> ent the last two days ensuring that the linux firewall opens all the ports correctly, etc...but nothing I do allows the xbox to access any files from those windows shares.  I have tried numerous things (most of which I dont understand because I've been a linux user 4 days now), but this includes setting up a user account with the same name / password as my windows login, etc.  So, I am now at the end of my tether and dont know what to do next?
[09:34] <levander> santa_: did you install both those packages from the Canonical repositories?
[09:34] <kane77> i just had a problem with gutsy.. the gui network settings doesn't change anything.. I had to manually set up my stuff...
[09:34] <elkbuntu> levander, going 'i have a problem where program1 and program2 are not working well together' is still better than 'does anyone know about program1 and program2'
[09:34] <m0u5e> weird, after the mplayer backports update, It seems that whenever i double click on a file that currently has my preferences set for mplayer, it can't open it, because "file:///media/sda etc etc" cannot be found/opened
[09:34] <santa_> levander, whatever comes with the feisty install.
[09:35] <levander> elkbuntu: What if they don't know which two programs aren't working well together is the point.
[09:35] <levander> mikebeecham: Have you configured samba on the linux box?
[09:35] <stranded> levander: i'll try that, i will switch the PCI slot, thanks for the suggestion
[09:35] <mikebeecham> levander: ...this is what i was trying to do until 1.30 this morning.  I cant get it to see the shares.  I can see them fine in nautlius...access them manually, add files into them, etc
[09:36] <mikebeecham> but for some reason smb4k does not see the shares OR the network
[09:36] <levander> santa_: then the answer it most likely yes, same repository.  I was thinking maybe two packages from different repositories were conflicting.  But two packages from the same repository shouldn't.  I'd search bugs.launchpad.com/ubuntu forimilar errors.
[09:36] <elkbuntu> levander, then you outline the behaviour that is causing you to ask for help... ie 'when im changing windows it takes a long time and stuff takes a long time to open, why?'
[09:36] <m0u5e> yet, when i drag the file into mplayer, it works fine
[09:36] <levander> mikebeecham: What is an smb4k?
[09:37] <mikebeecham> smb4k is samba within Ubuntu?
[09:37] <mikebeecham> graphical interface for samba (I believe)
[09:37] <santa_> still doesnt explain why it fails to compile from source
[09:37] <shiaukai> 有沒有看的到中文的阿
[09:38] <levander> mikebeecham: okay...  so that's smb4k, lemme re-read your problem
[09:38] <mikebeecham> ok mate...thanks :(
[09:38] <VSpike> ok, i take it back - fonts don't just suck in firefox, they suck in everything
[09:38] <VSpike> seems to be an ongoing linux favourite problem
[09:38] <mikebeecham> Vspike...have you tried installing the MS Core fonts, and looking at the dpi settings within Linux?
[09:38] <VSpike> mikebeecham: yep to both
[09:38] <mikebeecham> I thought the same until I changed the dpi
[09:38] <mikebeecham> ok
[09:38] <mikebeecham> looks great on mine now
[09:39] <VSpike> mikebeecham:  thanks for the suggestion though
[09:39] <mikebeecham> np
[09:39] <levander> elkbuntu: I don't have time to argue semantics with you and help people with real problems at same time.
[09:39] <VSpike> mikebeecham: most apps look OK, but browsers just seem to have real problems
[09:39] <m0u5e> Vspike: spike, for firefox, if you mousecroll up while holding down control (or vice versa) it will increase and decrease teh font size
[09:39] <m0u5e> sometimes it happens on accident, so try adjusting the font size
[09:39] <mikebeecham> Firefox is terrible
[09:39] <mikebeecham> I agree
[09:39] <levander> mikebeecham: you're gonna have to be more specific about where in the samba configuration you're having problems
[09:39] <levander> mikebeecham: that's most likely what you need to do is configure samba
[09:40] <VSpike> m0u5e: yeah, that helps a bit but it seems to break the layout more often than not.  Also the fonts get uneven spacing and positions and look even worse, although slightly more readable
[09:40] <mikebeecham> levander: ....do you mind if I PM you with my windows details?
[09:40] <levander> mikebeecham: if an xbox can talk to a windows file server, it ought to be able to talk to a samba file server, but you may want to verify that
[09:40] <buttercups> oxeimo1, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select the ati driver, remove xorg-driver-fglrx in Synaptic to uninstall fglrx 8.42
[09:40] <levander> mikebeecham: yeah, but i don't know how that's gonna help
[09:40] <Shapeshifta> How can I estsablish a connection to a windows machine over samba in the network without disabling or modifying its firewall?
[09:40] <m0u5e> VSpike: that might be the webpage your looking at... for some reason linux firefox won't display some pages correctly
[09:40] <CIS1987> Guys I have a problem with pidgin, it doesn't start at all
[09:40] <m0u5e> VSpike: although the windows version of firefox will
[09:40] <mikebeecham> levander: ...so that you can hopefully tell me what info I need to be putting into samba
[09:40] <VSpike> m0u5e: seems to be a problem on most pages
[09:41] <m0u5e> Vspike: weird... try uninstalling reinstalling?
[09:41] <levander> mikebeecham: I don't have the samba confs memorized.
[09:41] <VSpike> m0u5e: and I get the same in opera, curiously enough
[09:41] <mikebeecham> ahhh ok
[09:41] <m0u5e> Vspike, sounds like a gtk font bug then :X
[09:41] <levander> mikebeecham: I'm not gonna be able to just tell you off top of my head.
[09:41] <mikebeecham> levander: ...fair play then
[09:41] <mikebeecham> thanks anyway
[09:41] <levander> mikebeecham: If you can be more specific about your problem, there is a #samba channel on freenode
[09:41] <VSpike> m0u5e: that's what I'm thinking.  I had endless problems in feisty and never managed to get things just so, but after endless messing about managed to get something I could live with
[09:42] <mikebeecham> I am in there now levander...but it is silent!
[09:42] <levander> mikebeecham: That no doubt has a higher concentration of samba knowledgable people.
[09:42] <CIS1987> Guys I have a problem with pidgin, it doesn't start at all
[09:42] <VSpike> m0u5e: I was hoping that a clean install of gutsy would give me lovely clean fonts from the start, but i guess not!
[09:42] <levander> mikebeecham: it's late, how long have you been in there?
[09:42] <levander> mikebeecham: maybe try in the daytime?
[09:42] <mikebeecham> I've just gotten into work...so about 5 mins
[09:42] <VSpike> it's not late, it's early
[09:42] <mikebeecham> I'm in UK
[09:42] <henno> ok, how do I disable compiz or some shit, or at least let me login using something other than failsafe gnome
[09:42] <mikebeecham> 9.42 am here
[09:42] <stranded> lavander: still nothing, switched to another PCI slot and this message keeps appearing: [   51.161847] bttv0: using:  *** UNKNOWN/GENERIC ***  [card=0,autodetected]
[09:42] <m0u5e> Vspike: that's weird... i've never had that problem 6_6;
[09:43] <henno> because after 6 fresh installs, this simply is not working
[09:43] <levander> try later then, when americans and brits have finished their morning tea
[09:43] <levander> when americans are up*
[09:43] <Shapeshifta> How can I estsablish a connection to a windows machine over samba in the network without disabling or modifying its firewall?
[09:43] <CIS1987> Guys how do I install emerald??
[09:43] <levander> mikebeecham: if you work with samba, i guarantee you it will work
[09:43] <santa_> i was running a make, and i get the error ./generate.sh: 60: arith: syntax error: "cnt=cnt-1"    this is the script its complaining about, http://pastebin.com/m7dc58b87
[09:43] <m0u5e> henno: compiz shouldn't be enabled by default unless you have a intel graphics card thats not past GMA 945 :X
[09:43] <levander> mikebeecham: it's not easy, but it's not something finicky, where sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't
[09:43] <m0u5e> CIS1987: its in the ubuntu repository
[09:43] <J-_> !md5
[09:44] <levander> mikebeecham: but, i would verify that an xbox can talk to a samba server
[09:44] <mikebeecham> lavender....well i need to get it working...I use the media center a lot and dont want to stay in windows any more
[09:44] <levander> mikebeecham: life is rough
[09:44] <m0u5e> you know what would be awesome
[09:44] <levander> mikebeecham: guess you'll just have to stay in windows till you get samba working
[09:44] <henno> m0u5e: got intel
[09:44] <henno> m0u5e: compiz works fine on the live cd
[09:44] <stranded> lol i meant levander: [   51.161847] bttv0: using:  *** UNKNOWN/GENERIC ***  [card=0,autodetected]
[09:44] <mikebeecham> levander: ...yes
[09:45] <m0u5e> if sony's ps3 allowed us to stream music directly from a linux server... (if it were built into the ps3 :D)
[09:45] <levander> mikebeecham: What's the huge problem with Windows anyway that you're so whiny about getting off it right away?
[09:45] <m0u5e> henno: so whats the problem then? :X
[09:45] <CIS1987> I tried to install it thought synaptic but it didn't allow me
[09:45] <levander> stranded: Small miracles... What can I say.
[09:45] <VSpike> mikebeecham: can you pastebin your samba config?
[09:45] <CIS1987> It says it depends on other packeges
[09:45] <norman163> Hallöchen
[09:45] <levander> stranded: Isn't it strange that some things are easier in Linux than they are in Windows these days?  YOu should have started on Linux when I did.
[09:45] <mikebeecham> levander: ....that a bit rude?  I'm not whiney about it at all...I just wanted to start using Linux
[09:45] <henno> m0u5e: i can't login?
[09:46] <norman163> Hello
[09:46] <m0u5e> henno: does it give you an error?
[09:46] <levander> mikebeecham: I was j/k.  You are "eager" to get off Windows though.  Like you're life is gonna improve or something.
[09:46] <stranded> levander: well i still cant get Steam to work and run all of the Steam games properly :P all i need is this damn tuner
[09:46] <bryan553> hello , does the terminal windows save some log files with the commands that users made ?
[09:46] <kane77> when I try to run nautilus i get: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[09:46] <kengur_> is it safe to upgrade to the new distribution release? How to do it command line?
[09:46] <henno> m0u5e: hold on, something is working, messing with xorg.conf manually
[09:47] <VSpike> i can relate - once i decided to try and start using linux full time, every time i had to use windows for something was a defeat
[09:47] <CIS1987> Please help
[09:47] <levander> stranded: I have no idea what Steam is.
[09:47] <m0u5e> henno: okay :)
[09:47] <norman163> i have a problem with ubuntu 7.10...standby doesn't work...
[09:47] <levander> stranded: Steam does sound like some of the fun of the old days in Linux.
[09:47] <m0u5e> levander: its the app for games like CS, Portal, half-life, etc
[09:47] <kane77> bryan553: yes it has history
[09:47] <abcent> Hi Guys/Gals, I have Ubuntu 7.10 ... i'm having problems connecting to my home internal network, can you please advise what to use .... thnx in advance
[09:47] <kane77> bryan553: just run history command
[09:47] <bryan553> kane77: can you give me link to a guide that explain where the log files locations ?
[09:47] <CIS1987> Guys I have a problem with pidgin, it doesn't start at all
[09:48] <Altu60> hi all
[09:48] <Altu60> how can I use pidgin to join an IRC channel?
[09:48] <levander> stranded: If Steam's just an application, why is it hard to install?  Does it need any special hardware that you can't install for it?
[09:48] <kane77> bryan553: but it only saves 100 or so last commands...
[09:48] <m0u5e> hey guys, for some reason mplayer won't open  my files anymore, I'm getting a "Failed to open file:///media/sda3/blahblah%5Bblahblah%5Dblahblah" error
[09:48] <levander> abcent: How exactly do you want to connect to your home internal network?  Do you want to share files?  Do you want to login to remote machines? What?
[09:48] <bryan553> kane77: does it also save the output of the screen (of the terminal) ?
[09:48] <stranded> levander: Steam is a game app for windows only
[09:49] <stranded> levander: steampowered.com
[09:49] <CIS1987> Guys I have a problem with pidgin, it doesn't start at all
[09:49] <m0u5e> why is it trying to find it as a file:///media first of all, and why is it supplementing my spaces with the %5B filler crap?
[09:49] <levander> stranded: no wonder it's hard to install under linux
[09:49] <levander> stranded: it's for windows
[09:49] <VSpike> CIS1987: have you tried starting it from a terminal and seeing if you get any output?
[09:49] <abcent> Levander: file share mostly ... in windows i'd use explorer
[09:49] <m0u5e> levander: that's what wine is for
[09:49] <stranded> levander: it wasn't that hard to install, it's hard to get it work lol
[09:49] <John_5> so far I'm not impressed with Ubuntu's netcode
[09:49] <VSpike> abcent: you want to share files or access shared file?
[09:50] <CIS1987> VSpike: and how do I do that?
[09:50] <abcent> VSpike: both
[09:50] <henno> grrr. this is so backwards
[09:50] <VSpike> CIS1987: applications->accessories-<terminal then type "pidgin" and see what happens
[09:50] <bryan553> kane77: does scp command create also log file ?
[09:50] <henno> I finally can login, I set my screen resolution, hit "Kepp settings" or whatever, logout, log back in, nothing has changed
[09:51] <VSpike> abcent: are the other machines windows machines?
[09:51] <henno> I guess my definition of keep is very different to ubuntu's
[09:51] <levander> abcent: accessing shared files from Linux is much easier than sharing them from Linux.  To share them from Linux, you have to set up a server called samba.
[09:51] <mikebeecham> levander: I have strong opinions about Microsoft and thier stranglehold they have on the IT World at the moment.  Linux enables me to move away from windows...simple as that
[09:51] <abcent> VSpike: yes they are
[09:51] <stranded> levander: so there's nothing i can do about the tv card? i've had it for almost 10 years now, works great on xp using DScaler
[09:51] <levander> mikebeecham: Me too, but I don't let it get me all hot and bothered...
[09:51] <CIS1987> VSpike: nope nothing happens
[09:51] <VSpike> mikebeecham: can you pastebin your sama configuration
[09:51] <VSpike> CIS1987: you did press return?
[09:51] <levander> stranded: Wait, I thought you were the one who said it was autodetected?
[09:52] <CIS1987> Yes of course I did
[09:52] <mikebeecham> I'm not hot and bothered..>I'm just trying to get a resolution to this issue...Where you get the idea that I am somehow p******** off about it is strange and confusing
[09:52] <abcent> Levander: sounds like a lot of work
[09:52] <henno> ok, so how do I get "Screen and Graphic Prefences" to actually save
[09:52] <mikebeecham> VSpike...no because I am at work at the moment
[09:52] <levander> stranded: If it's not autodetected, I'd start googling around to see if anyone's written a Linux driver for it.
[09:52] <mikebeecham> and the linux machine is at home
[09:52] <VSpike> CIS1987: sorry .. just checking.  When you say nothing happened, you mean you just get the prompt back?
[09:53] <CIS1987> yes
[09:53] <stranded> levander: no it just detected as card id 0 and it has to be 50, card works on linux 100% sure, used it on suse
[09:53] <henno> no-one? how to save screen and graphics preferences?
[09:53] <VSpike> mikebeecham: ah i see.  what were you offering to send to levander earlier?
[09:53] <levander> abcent: It was last time I did it.  abcent: May be worth looking around to see if there are any easier, newer instructions.  Someone was in here talking about a smb4k app he was using to configure samba awhile ago.  But, he couldn't get t to work either.
[09:53] <VSpike> mikebeecham: you need to set up ssh access :) heh
[09:53] <stranded> levander: it said: [   51.161847] bttv0: using:  *** UNKNOWN/GENERIC ***  [card=0,autodetected]
[09:53] <henno> no-one? how to save screen and graphics preferences?
[09:54] <mikebeecham> I was offering to post my windows details, such as computer name, etc...so that I might get a better idea as to what I should be entering into the config of samba
[09:54] <levander> henno: Applications -> Accessories -> Take A Screen Shot
[09:54] <henno> or why they aren't saving?
[09:54] <mikebeecham> VSpike ssh access?  4 day linux user here!!!!
[09:54] <m0u5e> anyone up to helping me configure a nvidia 128mb 8400m GS to be able to output on an external display?
[09:54] <henno> levander: and what is that supposed to do
[09:54] <levander> stranded: no, is bttv the name of the driver?  That's all I could tell you, look at the docs for bttv.
[09:54] <abcent> Levander: thnx i seen smb4k when browsing
[09:54] <levander> mikebeecham: ssh from or to a linux box?
[09:55] <henno> levander: I want to know why, once I set my preferred screen resolution once i logout it does not stay that way
[09:55] <VSpike> mikebeecham: i know, i'm half joking, but it's seriously worth it.  Just sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[09:55] <VSpike> mikebeecham: make sure port 22 is open to the box
[09:55] <CIS1987> VSpike: Yes
[09:55] <mikebeecham> lavender....I want my xbox media center downstairs to access the windows shared folders on the computer upstairs when I am logged into Linux on that machine
[09:55] <stranded> levander: i gotta get rid off the driver then? :O
[09:55] <Optyk> Hi there.
[09:55] <lesshaste> is there anything in linux that can read a .mdi file?  It seems to be http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HP062193601033.aspx
[09:55] <levander> henno: In the Screen Resolutions dialog, do you click the "Make default for this computer" button before you click "Apply"?
[09:55] <CIS1987> VSpike: Yes, I get the prompt back
[09:56] <Optyk> There is any similiar program to krdc on gnome?
[09:56] <Optyk> I need to connect to remote desktop
[09:56] <VSpike> CIS1987: that's pretty wierd - not sure what else you can try, sorry
[09:56] <VSpike> mikebeecham: then you can use putty or cygwin or a linux box to access you box remotely
[09:56] <brobostigon> hi, good morning everyone
[09:56] <levander> stranded: no, i'm saying to read about the driver (read the docs) to see why it didn't detect your card.
[09:56] <turbocueca> Can I connect to a windows desktop through linux?
[09:56] <VSpike> mikebeecham: i'd recommend installing SWAT next time you are home
[09:56] <CIS1987> VSpike: I tried to reinstall it but it also didn't work
[09:57] <levander> mikebeecham: what does that have to do with ssh?
[09:57] <WildeSehnsucht> NVCLOCK question: Is there predefined minimum for GeForce FX 5700 (AGP) GPU & Memory Clock? If I set it too small the screen freezes and only reset helps...
[09:57] <henno> levander: well I seemed to have save it somehow (not that way) but is there a way to get gdm to also bump up the resolution? because it is only using 800x600 or something, not 1280x1024
[09:57] <oxeimon> I'm having serious problems with just uninstalling fglrx 8.42...
[09:57] <mikebeecham> levander: ...if you see my post, it had a question mark at the end because VSpike advised that I should install it
[09:57] <mikebeecham> I dont know what ssh is
[09:57] <oxeimon> In my restricted drivers manager, it says that the ATI accelerated graphics driver is "ENABLED" but "NOT IN USE" whyy??
[09:57] <stranded> levander: how do i read the docs, i mean where to find them
[09:58] <levander> henno: My *guess* is that gdm is getting its resolution from the one set to be default in xorg.conf.  I can tell you to look in there, but if you want to start modifying xorg.conf, get ready for a small adventure.  It's not as big as theamba configuration one that a few others in here are in.
[09:58] <levander> stranded: google i guess
[09:59] <oxeimon> can someone please help me: In my restricted drivers manager, it says that the ATI accelerated graphics driver is "ENABLED" but "NOT IN USE" whyy??
[09:59] <VSpike> mikebeecham: it stands for secure shell - it's a way to get a command line remotely over the net using an encrypted connection.  great for remote management
[09:59] <Frogzoo> !fixres | henno:
[09:59] <levander> mikebeecham: it doesn't sound to me like you need ssh
[09:59] <ubotu> henno:: 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
[09:59] <VSpike> mikebeecham: you can also tunnel other apps over it
[09:59] <hangthedj> for anyone curious to change the driver totem uses, run gstreamer-properties
[09:59] <henno> levander: I am very familiar with xorg.conf modification, not at all familiar with this gui do-dad thingers
[09:59] <mikebeecham> VSpike....I dont think this is what I need...you may be misunderstanding the requirement
[09:59] <mikebeecham> but thanks
[09:59] <MASTER_TN> hello, i have a dell optiplex 320 and i want to install ubuntu 7.10, i heared that was a broblem when booting !!!
[09:59] <Frogzoo> henno: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[09:59] <mikebeecham> levander: ..I think i agee with you
[09:59] <stranded> levander: ok thanks
[09:59] <VSpike> mikebeecham: not suggesting it will fix your current problem - just mentioned half in jest it because it would have allowed you get the config file from work :)
[10:00] <henno> Frogzoo: done, no luck
[10:00] <levander> henno: Well, change the default resolution in xorg.conf, and see if that affects the resolution of gdm, if it doesn't, my next guess is /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[10:00] <Frogzoo> henno: try adding a HorizSync & VertRefresh in xorg.conf
[10:00] <VSpike> mikebeecham: but seriously its about the first think i install on a new box, just though it was worth explaining if you didn't know abou tit
[10:00] <Frogzoo> henno: this on a crt?
[10:00] <henno> Frogzoo: done as well
[10:00] <henno> Frogzoo: nope. lcd
[10:00] <mikebeecham> VSpike: ...thanks :D
[10:01] <dion> u guys rock!, i'm gettin answers to questions i didnt know i had!
[10:01] <levander> MASTER_TN: You can try booting the DELL box off an Ubuntu Live CD (don't have to install to the hard disk, just boot off the Live CD) and see if there are any problems.
[10:01] <Frogzoo> henno: um, your vid card supports this res?
[10:01] <m0u5e> how would i get a file without the %5B s inbetwen
[10:01] <VSpike> mikebeecham: if you use windows boxes for access, you can use winscp too which is very cool and gives you secure ftp into your box via ssh so you can even access files using a windows gui
[10:01] <henno> Frogzoo: indeed it does, livecd works a treat
[10:01] <henno> compiz and all
[10:01] <levander> dion: Very odd, I never get any answers to my questions in here.  I have the exact opposite experience.
[10:01] <m0u5e> for example, i'm trying to open something with mplayer, but it wont open because it keeps reading the spaces as %5Bs
[10:01] <dion> lol
[10:01] <m0u5e> but when i drag and drop, it opens fine
[10:02] <m0u5e> or if i open it via command line
[10:02] <greencoo1ie> 'ello
[10:02] <levander> dion: Are you newbie?
[10:02] <m0u5e> ONLY when i double click on it, or open with
[10:02] <m0u5e> its really frustrating
[10:02] <mikebeecham> VSpike: ...thanks for that.  For the moment, however, I want to concentrate of getting this particular issue resolved
[10:02] <levander> dion: I think newbs get more out of this channel than most.
[10:02] <dion> nothing that helps the prob i Have, but good stuff for a newbee m8
[10:02] <Frogzoo> henno: ok, so remove all the modes other than 1280x1024
[10:02] <dion> lol
[10:02] <greencoo1ie> how do I kick my ghost in irssi?
[10:02] <levander> dion: Yeah, hanging out is always a great way to pick up stuff when you're new.
[10:02] <m0u5e> isn't there a %U or %M option we can add to make it open as the full location
[10:02] <dion> indeed it is L
[10:02] <levander> Okay, now that I've confused enough of you, I'm heading out! Take it easy!.
[10:03] <VSpike> mikebeecham: you aren't going to be able to solve it from work without access to the config files though, i fear :/
[10:03] <mikebeecham> I think you might be right
[10:03] <jewking> can anyone help me figure out how to install a <filename>.sh file
[10:03] <oxeimon> can someone please help me. Why is my ati driver 'enabled' but 'NOT IN USE' ?
[10:03] <m0u5e> gar...
[10:03] <VSpike> mikebeecham: I've often used SWAT for configuring samba - suggest you install it and try it out
[10:03] <greencoo1ie> Does anyone know what command I have to issue in irssi to kill my ghost?
[10:03] <greencoo1ie> !ati |oxeimon
[10:03] <ubotu> oxeimon: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:03] <MASTER_TN> levander, now i have an error message, PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 0000 :00:14.0 !!!!!!!!
[10:04] <incorrect> hello, i am looking for a desktop rss ticker, any suggestions?
[10:04] <VSpike> greencoo1ie: /msg nickservre ghost <nick> <password>
[10:04] <oxeimon> greencoo1ie: its more serious than that.
[10:04] <kane77> jewking: you just "chmod +x <filename>.sh" and then "./<filename>.sh"
[10:04] <VSpike> greencoo1ie: /msg nickserve ghost <nick> <password>
[10:04] <jewking> kane77: thanks
[10:04] <greencoo1ie> thanks VSpike
[10:04] <oxeimon> greencoo1ie: I just installed 8.42, noticed that it way too slow, so I'm trying to revert to the original fglrx
[10:04] <WildeSehnsucht> nvclock question: Hello. Is there predefined minimum for GeForce FX 5700 (AGP) GPU & Memory Clock? If I set it too small the screen freezes and only reset helps...
[10:04] <mikebeecham> VSpike: ...is it simple enough for a brand new linux user to understand?
[10:04] <oxeimon> greencoo1ie: but now I can't get even that to work... I even reverted back to my old xorg.conf
[10:05] <oxeimon> greencoo1ie: and reinstalled my xserver-xgl
[10:05] <greencoo1ie> oxeimon: ah ok. hold on.
[10:05] <VSpike> mikebeecham: i think it's as simple as sudo apt-get install swat and then pointing your browser at http://localhost:901
[10:05] <henno> Frogzoo: did that, still appears with a lower resolution
[10:05] <greencoo1ie> oxeimon: I was bout to give you the link to get xgl:)
[10:05] <mikebeecham> I can do that
[10:05] <VSpike> mikebeecham: last time i tried it there was another catch, but i'm just installing it now to test and see if it's still there
[10:05] <mosibfu> WildeSehnsucht: when you are overclocking AND underclocking, do it 1 mhz at a time, if you havent got the patience for that you shuld not be doing it, and yes there are minimum, and maximum clocks
[10:05] <dion> guys...... i'm havein truble with my eye-toy ps2 cam, feisty recognises it in device info/manager but it wont use it. any help will b gr8

[10:06] <dion> would gutsy b betta?
[10:06] <andril> hello all
[10:06] <kane77> is there a way to generate grub menu.lst entry without installing grub?
[10:06] <VSpike> mikebeecham: it's not uber simple, but it's OK
[10:06] <Frogzoo> dion: worth a shot
[10:06] <dion> *sigh*
[10:06] <VSpike> mikebeecham: do you want me to pastebin my smb.conf for you?
[10:07] <black_rose> !htaccess
[10:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about htaccess - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:07] <mikebeecham> Vspike...that would be good of you
[10:07] <jewking> kane77: that second bit isn't working
[10:07] <kane77> jewking: what is the output?
[10:07] <black_rose> someone know good guide for htaccess on ubuntu system ?
[10:07] <revilodraw> when using acidrip, how do i make it not shrink the dvd?

[10:09] <mutle> hi all. are there any known errors when installing postgres with the database on a nfs share?
[10:09] <oxeimon> can someone please tell me why my ati restricted driver says "enabled" but "NOT IN USE"?
[10:09] <Frogzoo> elrics_fate: but best avoided really
[10:09] <elrics_fate> type in term
[10:09] <jewking> kane77: ok
[10:09] <elrics_fate> ?
[10:09] <oxeimon> I just reverted back to the old fglrx from 8.42...
[10:09] <kane77> jewking: you only put the dot if the file is in the directory you're in... eg you have file in /home/kane/ and you are in /home/kane then you just type ./filename.sh... otherwise you type full path (without the leading dot)
[10:09] <Frogzoo> mutle: shouldn't matter once you get permissions sorted out
[10:10] <jewking> kane77: oh okay. thanks man
[10:10] <kane77> jewking: no problem :)
[10:10] <Frogzoo> mutle: uh oh - caching is gonna screw things up
[10:10] <VSpike> mikebeecham: http://pastebin.com/m70c4fa9f
[10:10] <mutle> Frogzoo: I just mounted the nfs share in /var/lib/postgres iirc and the machine (xen domU) freezes when creating the db
[10:11] <VSpike> mikebeecham: when you try to access from the xbox, what actual problem do you get?  Doesn't connect, or asks for username and password but won't accept any, or gives access denied, or what?
[10:11] <oxeimon> can someone please tell me why my ati restricted driver says "enabled" but "NOT IN USE"?
[10:11] <mikebeecham> Vspike....just hangs on a sign that says "Working"...which means it is trying to access the media from the windows shares, but cant get to them
[10:12] <Frogzoo> mutle: try soft & sync mount options
[10:12] <VSpike> mikebeecham: can you borrow another windows machine or linux machine to test with? might be easier as you will get more clue as to what the problem is
[10:12] <oxeimon> can someone please tell me why my ati restricted driver says "enabled" but "NOT IN USE"? I just reverted from fglrx 8.42 and everything looks horrible!
[10:13] <henno> Frogzoo: http://pastebin.ca/792373

[10:15] <elrics_fate> Frogzoo: How do I acquire root privileges without logging out
[10:15] <dion> sorry 2 repeat
[10:16] <oxeimon> is there a way to completely reinstall the x-server and all my graphics drivers?
[10:16] <elrics_fate> guys how do i require root privleges in the file browser?
[10:16] <henno> Frogzoo: got rid of it, no change
[10:17] <oxeimon> I want to reinstall ubuntu, but keep my non graphics-related settings.
[10:17] <henno> Frogzoo: and it can't be working if all of the resolution options are still showing in System > Preferences > Screen Resolution
[10:17] <dion> i tried ezcam but it keeps failing on the makefile and i dont read french
[10:17] <Frogzoo> elrics_fate: gksu
[10:17] <elrics_fate> i tryed that
[10:17] <elrics_fate> but after i bring this up
[10:18] <bazhang> oxeimon: probably not necessary to reinstall--just wait until a graphics expert/ati user comes along.. :}
[10:18] <elrics_fate> what do i type to bring up the file browser?
[10:18] <buttercups> oxeimon, did my way I told you a half hour ago not work?
[10:18] <oxeimon> buttercups: nope.
[10:19] <buttercups> oxeimon, have your restarted your x or rebooted yet?

[10:22] <unics> i would like to install a mail server with some graphical interface over the web. i own a domain and also a server with ubuntu dapper drake server edition, is there any decent guide on how to get make myname@mydomain.com mails and a interface like squirrelmail work on my machine step-by-step ? i searched and didn't find anything useful.
[10:22] <Hadeshorn> Hi all, I have made a new partition on my drive.. but i cant write anything to it.. how do i fix this?
[10:23] <osc> hi all
[10:23] <incorrect> is there anything that can generate graphs using an rrd database,  but i don't want to generate a static image,  what would be nice is a desktop app
[10:23] <oxeimon> buttercups: so what exactly is 'fglrx-kernel-source'
[10:23] <Savior> hi! is there someone here who is familiar with video drivers and xine? I do not mean ati, nvidia, etc., but xv, xshm, ...
[10:23] <oxeimon> buttercups: apparently I had to install that. Now everything's back to normal...
[10:23] <Frogzoo> henno: I've cleaned it up a bit - try http://pastebin.ca/792387
[10:23] <Savior> xine doesn't seem to find them
[10:23] <dion> can i upgrade from feisty to gutsy without going all the way...... its a bit big and i'd rather not wait 4 the dvd to arrive
[10:24] <osc> I want to see all packages' list
[10:24] <osc> how can i do using apt-get?
[10:24] <Savior> dpkg -l
[10:25] <osc> it gives only installed packages
[10:25] <osc> is it?
[10:25] <bazhang> !upgrade | dion
[10:25] <ubotu> dion: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[10:25] <Hadeshorn> Hi all, I have made a new partition on my drive.. but i cant write anything to it.. how do i fix this?
[10:25] <Mr> hey, how can I search in the terminal for files that have specific rights... so lets say 644  or something like that, and do so recursively so it does it in every folder & subfolder ?
[10:25] <Savior> ah yes, sorry
[10:25] <bazhang> Hadeshorn: what kind of partition? ext3? other?
[10:25] <Frogzoo> Mr: man find
[10:25] <dion> thanx
[10:26] <Hadeshorn> baz its ext3
[10:26] <bazhang> np
[10:26] <henno> Frogzoo: so any idea why my xorg.conf seems to achieve nothing?
[10:26] <Hadeshorn> baz its ext2
[10:26] <bazhang> Hadeshorn: is it mounted?
[10:26] <Hadeshorn> yes its mounted
[10:26] <Hadeshorn> i can look around in it
[10:26] <Hadeshorn> but i cant write to it
[10:26] <bazhang> strange
[10:26] <henno> Frogzoo: perhaps it is not even being read, or something, because it seems I cannot stipulate a series of modes like I can with other distros
[10:27] <Hadeshorn> Baz, i need to sudo just to look at it
[10:27] <Frogzoo> henno: without reading xorg.conf, x won't start
[10:27] <VSpike> mikebeecham: heh was jsut trying to install swat and it was not so easy :)
[10:27] <bazhang> Hadeshorn: who is the owner of the partition?
[10:28] <Frogzoo> henno: also try 'grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log'
[10:28] <Hadeshorn> baz: root
[10:28] <Hadeshorn> baz: sorry it says unknown
[10:28] <Mr> Frogzoo: I looked, but I am getting weird formatting problems in the manpage and all the examples I would need to understand how to use the command are shown with weird symbols
[10:28] <bazhang> need to change that or use sudo to copy stuff over
[10:28] <Hadeshorn> baz how do i do that?
[10:28] <VSpike> mikebeecham: perhaps it's not the easiest route
[10:28] <Hadeshorn> baz how do i change its owner?
[10:28] <Mr> Frogzoo: " â<80><99>  "  etc
[10:28] <bazhang> via gui? or command line?
[10:29] <henno> Frogzoo: I just rm -rf'd xorg.conf and X started just fine
[10:29] <Frogzoo> Mr: find /etc -perm 777
[10:29] <bullgard4> Using LinNeighborhood, how can I browse the available SMB shares?
[10:29] <mikebeecham> lol
[10:29] <mikebeecham> ok
[10:29] <Hadeshorn> baz: either way
[10:29] <dimpy> allow
[10:29] <henno> Frogzoo: albeit at a smaller resolution
[10:29] <Frogzoo> henno: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[10:29] <Hadeshorn> baz: i just have stuff i have to copy to it
[10:29] <mikebeecham> VSpike: ...what about if I edit your smb.conf to meet my needs, then overwrite my current one with the amended one/
[10:30] <VSpike> mikebeecham: that should be a good thing to try
[10:30] <Mr> Frogzoo: can I do :   find * -r 777    to look through all files and folders recursively?
[10:30] <VSpike> mikebeecham: smb4k looks pretty good
[10:30] <henno> Frogzoo: of course
[10:30] <mikebeecham> Vspike...it is, but I dont know what information to put in there really, or the format...for example. the number of forward slashes, etc
[10:30] <Frogzoo> henno: put in my version, start x, then 'grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log'
[10:30] <mikebeecham> this was what I was trying to pass to Levender earlier
[10:31] <bazhang> Hadeshorn: in a new directory or an existing one? something like sudo cp filename path to directory
[10:31] <VSpike> mikebeecham: how do you locate the shares in the xbox? do you browse for it, or do you type the machine name?
[10:31] <Hadeshorn> baz: how do i make it permanent to write to it so i dont have to sudo all the time
[10:31] <m0u5e> anyone know if i can get rid of the file part of file:///home/usr/movie.avi
[10:31] <m0u5e> everytime i double click on a movie, it wont play in mplayer b/c of that reason
[10:31] <greencoo1ie> how do I run a python program from the cli?
[10:31] <henno> Frogzoo: funny, I started X without xorg.conf, it created some generic file, I added 1280x1024 and it seems to be working, sort of, at the moment
[10:32] <kane77> can I generate grub's menu.lst without installing grub?
[10:32] <m0u5e> it doesnt like that it has "file" in front of everything
[10:32] <henno> Frogzoo: will tinker with the settings manually and report back
[10:32] <mikebeecham> VSpike: ...the xbox media center has been created in su ch a way that, as long as you give it access via a static IP address, you can search for any smb shares on a specified network
[10:32] <greencoo1ie> ./[filename].py?:)
[10:32] <|lukas|> anyone installed pdc (samba+openldap)??
[10:32] <bazhang> http://designedfor.wordpress.com/2007/04/02/change-permissions-on-a-hard-drive-partition/
[10:32] <mikebeecham> I can click a button within the media center "browse" and it will see my network "HOME" > "MIKEANDHELEN"
[10:32] <Hadeshorn> thanks baz
[10:32] <mikebeecham> then when I open that up, all my shared folders appear
[10:32] <bazhang> Hadeshorn: np
[10:33] <sis900> greencoo1ie: or  python filename.py
[10:33] <VSpike> mikebeecham: so does it actually even see your linux box in the network?
[10:33] <mikebeecham> hmmm...now thats an interesting one
[10:33] <mikebeecham> I've not actually searched in that way...I've just tried to play some media
[10:34] <VSpike> was just wondering if you could give it an IP address to connect to .. sometimes with windows sharing problems that helps
[10:35] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=389479 here too Hadeshorn
[10:35] <VSpike> like, in windows you would do Start->Run, "\\192.168.0.2"
[10:35] <VSpike> mikebeecham: probably can't do that on the xbox.  can you get a command prompt on it at all?
[10:36] <mikebeecham> no...it's not a command prompt-software
[10:36] <mac_> ?
[10:36] <dion> any1 else had truble with the auto-upgrade, just want 2 know if its common

[10:42] <m0u5e> did anyone else backports update mplayer and find that your files are having the %5D naming convention problem?
[10:42] <Frogzoo> wine | oj
[10:42] <Frogzoo> !wine | oj
[10:42] <ubotu> oj: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[10:42] <m0u5e> and that it keeps trying to assume the file your playing is a URL?

[10:46]  * bazhang is changing his name
[10:47] <TranceControl> anyone able to help with getting pureftp setup to accept fxp connections?
[10:47] <Narissa> TranceControl: I switched to Ubuntuzilla over that very issue
[10:47] <erUSUL> !pureftd
[10:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pureftd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:47] <bazhang> Narissa: if there are any issues--we will be here :}
[10:47] <scguy318> TranceControl: check your conf file?
[10:48] <Narissa> bazhang: says could not calculate the upgrade
[10:48] <TranceControl> scguy318 heh thats my prob .. how do i find that conf file? :$
[10:48] <bazhang> Narissa: via synaptic? command line?
[10:48] <Narissa> bazhang: Update Manager
[10:48] <scguy318> TranceControl: should be in /etc, you can check the package properties in Synaptic to find
[10:49] <scguy318> TranceControl: *of pureftpd
[10:49] <bazhang> Narissa: there is a way to upgrade--would you like the link?
[10:49] <Narissa> bazhang: if you wouldn't mind
[10:50] <bazhang> !upgrade | Narissa

[10:51] <unics> how to install a program from a *.deb file ?
[10:52] <erUSUL> !deb
[10:52] <ubotu> deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility.
[10:52] <Frogzoo> unics: first make sure it's an ubuntu, not debian .deb, then 'sudo dpkg -i blah.deb'
[10:52] <scguy318> unics: use GDebi or dpkg -i
[10:52] <unics> well, i don't have a graphical interface
[10:52] <unics> ok, thanks
[10:53] <TranceControl> scguy318,  i have multiple conf files ? :S
[10:54] <scguy318> TranceControl: of course
[10:54] <toresn> how do i enable xvideo?
[10:54] <scguy318> TranceControl: /etc contains all conf files
[10:54] <toresn> (ati mobility radeon card)
[10:54] <TranceControl> scguy318 so which one do i alter?
[10:54] <scguy318> TranceControl: open up Synaptic, find the pureftpd package, properties, files
[10:54] <scguy318> TranceControl: then see what the conf file is
[10:54] <scguy318> TranceControl: I'm not on Ubuntu right now else I would do it for you
[10:54] <perpetual> Does anyone know how to boot from an ubuntu CD on an apple macbook? Some key combination when switching it on?
[10:55] <scguy318> perpetual: i think the C key?
[10:55] <scguy318> perpetual: I'm no Mac user
[10:57] <TranceControl> somethings dead wrong here ..
[10:57] <TranceControl> when doing ls under the root shell i get these :
[10:58] <TranceControl> libtorrent-0.11.8         rtorrent-0.7.8
[10:58] <TranceControl> libtorrent-0.11.8.tar.gz  rtorrent-0.7.8.tar.gz

[10:58] <pipelineaudio> I got an error during reboot that I need to rebuild my file system manually
[10:58] <pipelineaudio> it stopped in load then at the prompt I hit control D and it loaded...everything worked fine
[10:58] <pipelineaudio> what do I need to do?
[10:59] <pipelineaudio> >	fsck died with exit status 8"
[10:59] <erUSUL> pipelineaudio: are you using ext3 ??
[10:59] <shagball> hi i'm still not sure on buying a cordless mouse and keyboard. are they any good?
[11:00] <erUSUL> pipelineaudio: afaics you have to run fsck manually (from a a livecd becouse the filesystem has to be umounted)
[11:00] <scguy318> pipelineaudio: when it asks you to run fsck, run it
[11:00] <pipelineaudio> yeah ext3
[11:00] <scguy318> pipelineaudio: when it brings you to the console after asking, its already mounted it ro
[11:00] <pipelineaudio> ok so put the ubuntu live cd in during reboot?
[11:01] <scguy318> pipelineaudio: sure
[11:01] <jewking> hey. im trying to install jahshaka on gutsy, but im new to linux
[11:01] <jewking> can anyone tell me what this means

[11:02] <hyakuhei> hey all, I've been using ubuntu for a while now, I'm upgrading to 7.10 at the moment. I run a typical ubuntu install with lots of gnome stuff - I'd quite like to install xfce, whats the best way? Is there an XFCE metapackage? What about Xubuntu ? Thanks
[11:02] <scguy318> pipelineaudio: boot off the CD
[11:02] <scguy318> pipelineaudio: the best time to fix the problem would have been right when you were brought to a shell during startup
[11:02] <NielsE> xubuntu-desktop is a metapackage
[11:02] <scguy318> pipelineaudio: but I dunno what you did after that
[11:02] <scguy318> pipelineaudio: so run fsck from the LiveCD
[11:02] <pipelineaudio> I hit control d like it said to
[11:02] <scguy318> jewking: just as it says
[11:03] <jewking> scguy318: how do i change the lines in the file??
[11:03] <scguy318> jewking: use gedit or whatever text editor of your choice
[11:03] <pipelineaudio> ok booting from the CD now
[11:04] <jewking> scguy318: oh okay.. i think i got it. Thanx
[11:04] <hyakuhei> Oh one other thing, has anyone come accross a .deb of the KDE4 RC ?

[11:07] <pipelineaudio> ok my live cd is booted
[11:07] <brobostigo1> hi
[11:08] <hraesvelgr> scguy318, thanks :-) I have two seagate hdds, I have absolutely updated ubuntu and I have a little problem
[11:08] <sis900> BB83: one way would be booting the live cd and redirecting the output of  dpkg -l  to a file on a usb pendrive. then reboot into your installed system, repeat the  dpkg -l  command there and compare the two files with  diff -u
[11:08] <hraesvelgr> scguy318, after a short period disc will spin down
[11:08] <m0u5e> anyone else experiencing difficulties after the backport of mplayer?
[11:09] <pipelineaudio> how do I do this fsck thing?
[11:09] <m0u5e> the most recent one
[11:09] <hraesvelgr> scguy318, and when I access it, it starts, I want to switch this off, when I set hdparm -S 253 /dev/hdx, it is working just partly
[11:09] <brobostigo1> run fsck in cli
[11:09] <brobostigo1> !fsck
[11:09] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[11:09] <BB83> sis900, yes if I can't find anything else,thks
[11:09] <hraesvelgr> scguy318, if i explain it, before this command was applied hddtemp tells me the hdd is sleeping, now tells me temperature, thats good, but when I access the drive still I hear motor start
[11:10] <pipelineaudio> whats cli?
[11:10] <pipelineaudio> !cli
[11:10] <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
[11:10] <erUSUL> pipelineaudio: boot to a livecd and the use 'sudo fsck [options] /dev/xxxx' (where xxxx is hdxx or sdxx or whatever your partitions are)
[11:10] <hraesvelgr> scguy318, and also I need to switch off parking of heads and dont know how, when I try to switch off apm it makes me error
[11:10] <sis900> pipelineaudio: command line interpreter, shell
[11:10] <Rainpoint> Hello, I'm absolutely new to Ubuntu and I'd like to get a fairly good book about it; can anyone reccomend anything?
[11:10] <Rainpoint> All the books that I've seen so far seem to be rather outdated
[11:10] <hraesvelgr> scguy318, when I set hdparm -B 255 it tells hdio_drive_cmd_failed: input/output error
[11:10] <pipelineaudio> is cli terminal?
[11:10] <brobostigo1> yes
[11:11] <sis900> pipelineaudio: a cli is usually run in a terminal
[11:11] <emma> fsck  is simply a front-end for the various file system checkers
[11:11] <scguy318> hraesvelgr: mm, dunno
[11:11] <pipelineaudio> how do I list the dev's?
[11:11] <erUSUL> pipelineaudio: you can force a fsck on boot by doing 'sudo touch /forcefsck' and rebooting
[11:11] <pipelineaudio> just list?
[11:11] <scguy318> hraesvelgr: I'm about to hit the hay, so you may wish to wait for the morning, when everyone's awake
[11:11] <Narissa> alright so I tried to upgrade with Update Manager, Adept manager, I've checked the documentation and it keeps sayign could not calculate for the update
[11:12] <Narissa> any suggestions?
[11:12] <erUSUL> pipelineaudio: 'sudo fdisk -l' ?
[11:12] <hraesvelgr> scguy318, okay, oh, timezones :-) I have launch now :)
[11:12] <pipelineaudio> wait do I want to do it now thats its all loaded in live cd or do I want to do it on the reboot?
[11:12] <m0u5e> anyone else know whats going on with mplayer rc2?
[11:13] <hraesvelgr> scguy318, thanks, i will wait :)
[11:13] <stefg> pipelineaudio: never ever do a fsck on a (writable) mounted drive. so if you want to check your system partition the easisest way would be indeed to 'sudo touch /forcefsck ' and reboot
[11:13] <void^> hraesvelgr: just make sure laptop mode isn't enabled in /etc/default/acpi-support
[11:13] <brobstigon> hi
[11:13] <fyrestrtr> Narissa: updating from which release?
[11:14] <scguy318> hraesvelgr: i'm going now, have a good lunch
[11:14] <Narissa> fyrestrtr: Feisty 7.04
[11:15] <tass> hello, i got a problem with gedit: it's displayed on every desk (xfce)
[11:15] <joerlend> is there any guides for installing web applications from the repositories?
[11:15] <sis900> tass: disable the sticky mode of its window
[11:15] <stefg> tass: then it's not a prob with gedit but with xfwm. try #xubuntu
[11:15] <sis900> tass: it is a button in the title bar
[11:15] <brobstigon> have a look in help.ubuntu.com, joerland
[11:16] <joerlend> brobstigon, of course.. I've read the documentation.

[11:19] <perpetual> scguy318: it worked: holding "c" while switching on. Though it now turns out the 64bit version does not work as this apple hardware is apparantly not 64bit: "no long support, load a 32bit OS"

[11:21] <unics> how to roll back to a previous version of a installed program/library ?
[11:22] <pipelineaudio> rahmen I have a dell vostro with wireless and ndis gtk really worked!
[11:22] <pipelineaudio> I didnt do that the hard way, that sudo apt get make whatever stuff
[11:22] <pipelineaudio> just did it all gui
[11:22] <rahmen> pipelineaudio: oki I'll try installing gtk. thnx
[11:23] <stefg> pipelineaudio: oh, you are on Live-CD? Good, so you can look at the partition "from the outside". then you can run a 'sudo fsck /dev/<yourdrive>' from the Live CD to check a harddirsk partition. Just make sure it's unmounted
[11:23] <pipelineaudio> how do I make sure its unmounted?
[11:24] <stefg> pipelineaudio: just run 'mount' in a term
[11:24] <pipelineaudio> and it wont huirt my other partitions right?
[11:24] <fyrestrtr> pipelineaudio: if its mounted, you will see an icon for it on the desktop, also fsck will complain about it.
[11:24] <stefg> pipelineaudio: this ain't microsoft
[11:24] <fyrestrtr> as true as that maybe, fsck can damage partitions, especially if they are mounted -- which is why it will warn you.
[11:24] <rahmen> pipelineaudio: I've installed ndisgtk now.. do I need to reboot or just start it in terminal?
[11:26] <pipelineaudio> rahmen, you go to the "wireless settings" that should now after you installed it be in preferences
[11:26] <pipelineaudio> what can I do to list the extended partitions ?
[11:26] <Narissa> fyrestrtr: any suggestions on how to upgrade from here, because teh net upgrade isn't working
[11:26] <pipelineaudio> my fdisk is showing only my primaries and my ubuntu is on an extended
[11:27] <fyrestrtr> Narissa: download the alternate 7.10 cd for your platform, and insert it in your drive. You can upgrade from the cd then.
[11:28] <Narissa> fyrestrtr: what if I used say Ubuntu Ultimate, as I may have to do this again with a friends system, mine is straight ubuntu but his is anotehr story?
[11:28] <rahmen> pipelineaudio: you mean wireless network drivers? I can't find any settings. System -> Network doesn't show me a wireless connection. It disappeared when I followed the guide. You know anything about that?
[11:28] <pipelineaudio> ahh man thats what mine did the first time
[11:28] <pipelineaudio> once I can reboot I can shup a picture of mine
[11:29] <pipelineaudio> Ill look
[11:29] <fyrestrtr> I don't know what is ubuntu ultimate, but if its like any of the other ubuntu derivatives, then the process is the same.
[11:29] <pipelineaudio> I just gotta get thru this fsck thing
[11:29] <toresn> on external drives in ubuntu... does it matter whether the filesystem is ntfs or ext3? pros/cons?

[11:30] <vismajor_work> hi
[11:30] <rahmen> pipelineaudio: you'll help me? or did you say that to someone else? =)

[11:31] <Narissa> well I am off ttys and pray for me
[11:31] <sis900> pipelineaudio: you said fdisk only lists primary partitions. if sda6 was in the output, you are wrong.
[11:31] <vismajor_work> can i telnet the 1723 port if the firewall is correct?
[11:32] <pipelineaudio> it says "superblock last mount time is in the future. Fix?
[11:32] <sis900> pipelineaudio: because sda6 cannot be a primary partition
[11:32] <pipelineaudio> sda6 is my ubuntu partition
[11:32] <erUSUL> pipelineaudio: yes, i guess
[11:32] <Drule> Hi.
[11:32] <sis900> pipelineaudio: okay

[11:39] <erUSUL> !info helixplayer | SatManUK
[11:39] <ubotu> satmanuk: Package helixplayer does not exist in gutsy
[11:39] <toresn> on external drives in ubuntu... does it matter whether the filesystem is ntfs or ext3? pros/cons?
[11:39] <SatManUK> helixplayer doesn't play ram
[11:39] <Lifeisfunny> I can't get more than one part of a file on a multi-part post when using PAN newsreader,  any ideas what's wrong?
[11:40] <pipelineaudio> alright Im still geting the same error, do I need to boot into the livecd again?
[11:40] <jxxt> toresn, linux does not deal with ntfs natively
[11:40] <sis900> pipelineaudio: i think so
[11:40] <SatManUK> and it does exist i have helix player installed
[11:40] <fatmcgav> hi all - anyone any good with initd scripts???
[11:40] <sis900> pipelineaudio: but i wonder what damaged your filesystem so badly
[11:40] <SatManUK> but its not playing ram or shoutcast
[11:41] <pipelineaudio> a restore program
[11:41] <foldart> !anyone
[11:41] <toresn> jxxt: my disks are ntfs and seem to work fine...
[11:41] <ubotu> 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?
[11:41] <sis900> pipelineaudio: ugh..
[11:41] <kondrix> sis900 thank you v much
[11:42] <toresn> jxxt: guess i should ask this in a windows channel, but does windows deal with ext3?
[11:42] <sis900> pipelineaudio: i only use backup/restore on a per-file or per-dir basis, not on the filesystem layer.
[11:42] <dgjones> toresn, yes, you need to download and install ext2fs and you can read/write to ext3 partitions
[11:42] <rahmen> pipelineaudio: If you don't have time or don't want to help me tell me.. otherwise I'll wait here for no reason :]
[11:42] <jxxt> toresn, Hmmn unless you have a program that will read/write you may have problems re: windows I do not know
[11:42] <foldart> !ext3 | toresn
[11:42] <ubotu> toresn: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[11:43] <fatmcgav> ok, tru... i'm trying to start icecast2 installed from packages using the init.d script it came with, and it's throwing the following error: "Starting Icecast2: start-stop-daemon: Unable to set GID to 120 (Operation not permitted)" - the script tries to do a --chuid $USERID:$GROUPID to icecast2:icecast...
[11:43] <toresn> ok, thank you
[11:43] <mpt> Which is the quicker way to empty a ~70%-full ext3 partition: rm -r ./*, or reformatting it? And if it's reformatting it, how do I do that?
[11:43] <pipelineaudio> rahmen: if I can boot back in Ill tell you
[11:43] <pipelineaudio> I installed ndis gtk
[11:43] <rahmen> pipelineaudio: thnx
[11:43] <sis900> mpt: depends on its size
[11:43] <pipelineaudio> and I think ndis wrapper
[11:44] <sis900> mpt: but i guess making a new filesystem is quicker
[11:44] <pipelineaudio> then in preferences some sort of wireless manager showed up
[11:44] <pipelineaudio> then it asked for a inf file so I pointed to my windows one
[11:44] <pipelineaudio> then I went to network config and it worked
[11:44] <rahmen> pipelineaudio: hmm ok..
[11:44] <rahmen> your "windows one" ?
[11:44] <rahmen> where is that?
[11:45] <mpt> sis900, thanks. I tried doing that in gparted, but the "Format to" submenu is greyed out, even if gparted is running with sudo. Do you know the magic formula?
[11:45] <rahmen> pipelineaudio: the driver you installed.. where did you find it?
[11:45] <pipelineaudio> I unzipped it to a usb drive
[11:45] <SatManUK> instead of Helix Player - how to install the Real "Real Player 10 Gold Linux"?
[11:45] <sis900> mpt: i don't do things with gparted, i am a command line guy
[11:45] <pipelineaudio> I got it from dell
[11:45] <mpt> sis900, command line will do
[11:45] <pipelineaudio> which card are you putting on?>
[11:45] <pipelineaudio> broadcom has the winxpdriver you need
[11:46] <sis900> mpt: if you want to make a new filesystem, first make sure the partition is not mounted
[11:46] <rahmen> Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g
[11:46] <rahmen> so I can find it on the internet?
[11:46] <rahmen> some sort of driver
[11:46] <mpt> sis900, bingo, that was the problem. After unmounting it, the "Format to" submenu became enabled again. Thanks muchly for your help!
[11:47] <sis900> mpt: alright
[11:47] <pipelineaudio> yeah get the windows xp driver for that
[11:47] <rahmen> pipelineaudio: oki I hope it works ^^
[11:47] <mpt> ... but then gparted crashed
[11:47] <nalpha> guys...there is instant messanging software for LAN for Internal Use only? that can works with linux???
[11:48] <fatmcgav> is it possible to do "--chuid" through a initd script?
[11:48] <mEck0> is there any calendar- or mailprogram to linux which can import the following scheme and then export it to a cellphone/pda? its a csv-file
[11:48] <mEck0> http://nlost.his.se/Schedule.asp?startdate=20071121&enddate=&program=DVP05h&st=Program&export=Export'
[11:48] <brobstigon> pidgin/bonjour, nalpha
[11:48] <mpt> sis900, ok, what's the terminal command? :-)
[11:48] <sis900> mpt: which partition is it?
[11:49] <mpt> sis900, /dev/sdb7
[11:49] <sis900> mpt: you have to be very sure about the partition device, mkfs does not ask
[11:49] <sis900> mpt: and you want ext3 on it?
[11:49] <mpt> ext3 is already on it, I want it blanked
[11:49] <mpt> so, yes
[11:50] <sis900> mpt: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb7
[11:50] <nalpha> brobstigon: for internall use can?
[11:50] <nalpha> brobstigon: that can be locked for IM in outside?
[11:50] <brobstigon> yes, nalpha
[11:50] <sis900> mpt: note that this changes the filesystem's uuid, so you may need to change it accordingly in /etc/fstab
[11:51] <nalpha> brobstigon: what's protocol i used?
[11:51] <brobstigon> bonjour, nalpha
[11:51] <mpt> sis900, /etc/fstab only has entries for my internal HD, not this external one
[11:52] <sis900> mpt: okay
[11:52] <nalpha> brobstigon: and how to lock the user to create yahoo account?
[11:52] <brobstigon> cmpile pidgin with only bonjour support, nalpha
[11:53] <satou> Bonjour, j'ai actuellement windows et Ubuntu sur mon ordinateur. Je voudrais gardé uniquement Ubuntu. Puis je formater avec le Cd windows sans installer windows ??
[11:53] <nalpha> brobstigon: there is a guide about that
[11:53] <sis900> !fr | satou
[11:53] <ubotu> satou: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[11:53] <nalpha> brobstigon: what's the website of bonjour?
[11:53] <brobstigon> help.ubuntu.com i think, nalpha
[11:53] <satou> Merci !
[11:53] <brobstigon> its on apples website as well as wikipedia
[11:54] <peacepipej1> hey guys, i ran wvdial from the terminal. How do I turn it off
[11:54] <Narada> hi guys
[11:54] <mpt> sis900, thanks again
[11:54] <Narada> anyone noticed an extreme slowdown in X when using nvidia-glx-new and gutsy?
[11:54] <Narada> any solution?
[11:55] <peacepipej1> hey guys, i ran wvdial from the terminal. How do I turn it off
[11:55] <Lifeisfunny> I can't get more than one part of a file on a multi-part post when using PAN newsreader,  any ideas what's wrong?
[11:55] <Hemebond> I've lost my volume control in my panel. How do I get it back? I have restarted.
[11:56] <Lifeisfunny> Hemebond, add another one
[11:56] <Hemebond> It's a system tray icon.
[11:56] <Hemebond> Like... a running program icon. Not a shortcut.
[11:56] <Lifeisfunny> yeah, so put it there.   right click on the panel bar and
[11:56] <peacepipej1> Hemebond: Right click an empty space on your control panel and click add to panel. It should be there
[11:56] <Hemebond> Oh duh
[11:57] <Hemebond> It has a different icon in the selection thing...
[11:57] <Hemebond> Sorry.
[11:57] <Hemebond> I do apologise.
[11:57] <peacepipej1> Its cool
[11:57] <hi365> hello. im having a problem where synaptic just crashes (as well as apt-get) with the error "Segmentation fault"
[11:57] <peacepipej1> hey guys, i ran wvdial from the terminal. How do I turn it off
[11:57] <peacepipej1> from the term
[11:57] <Hemebond> Normally it runs with the Network Settings icon though. And I've never actually removed the shortcut from the panel. I assumed it was a running program with a tray icon, like Sonata.
[12:00] <peacepipej1> How do I stop wvdial from terminal. Or anything fro terminal for that matter
[12:00] <jo0m> peacepipej1: try Ctrl-c
[12:00] <nalpha> brobstigon: there is a easiest way to install pidgin+bonjour or there is another software?
[12:00] <nalpha> there is a easiest way to install pidgin+bonjour or there is another software?
[12:01] <Lifeisfunny> Hemebond, right click and then tic the unlock the notification area, your mouse has to be on the little bar on the left.   then you can use the MOVE to slide it over and add the volume controller
[12:01] <sis900> peacepipej1: you can stop processes by finding their process id (pid) with  ps aux | grep processname  and then sending the TERM signal by  kill pid_you_found
[12:01] <hi365> hello. im having a problem where synaptic just crashes (as well as apt-get) with the error "Segmentation fault" . how do i debug/fix the problem?
[12:01] <nbr> how to install openoffice to ubuntu?
[12:02] <brobstigon> compile pidgin with just bonjur and no other protocolls, the source package as well as the ubuntu forums have instructins on how to do that, nalpha
[12:02] <dgjones> nbr, open office is installed by default
[12:02] <Lifeisfunny> nbr, should be there already
[12:02] <nalpha> brobstigon: and can bonjour server installed in ubuntu?
[12:02] <nalpha> brobstigon: or there is no need server?
[12:03] <pipelineaudio> ok Im back in the live cd, should I justy type  'sudo touch /forcefsck'
[12:03] <brobstigon> bonjour is already installless into ubuntu, and there is no need for any kind of server, it wrks by peer to peer.
[12:03] <nalpha> nbr: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org ( or search with apt-cache search openoffice)
[12:04] <peacepipej1> sis900: whish is the pid
[12:04] <peacepipej1> which
[12:04] <sis900> peacepipej1: you have to find it with  ps aux | grep wvdial
[12:05] <jo0m> peacepipej1: or you can kill it with killall wvdial
[12:05] <Flynsarmy> anyone know how to uninstall world of padman?
[12:05] <peacepipej1> I know, i did. how do I identify the pid
[12:05] <sis900> peacepipej1: the pid is the second column in the ps output. but look at what jo0m said.
[12:06] <sis900> pipelineaudio: you better do a forced fsck from the live cd
[12:07] <peacepipej1> sis900:  eai see what jo0m said, but just for future referance pid is second column in the ps output. Thanx guys
[12:07] <pipelineaudio> how do I do that?
[12:07] <pipelineaudio> type  'sudo touch /forcefsck' ?
[12:07] <jo0m> peacepipej1: you welcome
[12:07] <ross> hi
[12:08] <peacepipej1> jo0m: killall wvdial gae me "no process killed"
[12:08] <sis900> pipelineaudio: no. make sure the partition is unmounted, the run  sudo fsck.ext3 -fy /dev/your_partition
[12:08] <Pici> pipelineaudio: no, that wont work. you'll need to do `sudo fsck /dev/whatever` where whatever is the name of your harddrive device (or whatever you're fscking, I just got here)
[12:08] <SatManUK> can somebody test real.com/linux there seems to be some kind of error - when you click download - nothing happens
[12:08] <Pici> pipelineaudio: or listen to sis900 :)
[12:08] <SatManUK> would anybody have a copy of the origional download file they can send me?
[12:09] <ross> can anyone help me set up a network with 2 linux boxes a cable modem and a belkin54g wireless router?
[12:09] <jo0m> peacepipej1: than there is no proces with that name, try sis900 way
[12:09] <pipelineaudio> sis900: do I do that to my ubuntu partition or the boot partition?
[12:09] <sis900> pipelineaudio: you can do it for both partitions
[12:09] <sis900> pipelineaudio: maybe the /boot partition also has problems
[12:10] <peacepipej1> jo0m: sis900: i dont know what ps output means
[12:10] <sis900> peacepipej1: read   man ps
[12:10] <peacepipej1> I just want to turn of my internet and go to bed
[12:10] <brobstigon> !ps
[12:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ps - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:10] <peacepipej1> ill do it the clicky way
[12:11] <jo0m> peacepipej1: close the terminal where you have run wvdial
[12:11] <imsngn> :good evening
[12:11] <sis900> peacepipej1: i cannot help you with the clicky way. i am mostly a command line user.
[12:12] <brobstigon> good afternoon imsngn
[12:12] <peacepipej1> jo0m:  that foesnt kill a running process. That just closes the terminal
[12:12] <phanter> hi all
[12:12] <sis900> peacepipej1: does   sudo killall wvdial  work?
[12:12] <pipelineaudio> is there a program I can use to tell if the drives are mounted?
[12:13] <peacepipej1> clicky is easy. I just like the terminal. Feels like i have more control
[12:13] <brobstigon> df -h, pipelineaudio
[12:13] <sis900> pipelineaudio: look at the output of  cat /proc/mounts
[12:14] <peacepipej1> sis900: sudo doesnt do anthing
[12:14] <sis900> peacepipej1: not sudo alone
[12:14] <sis900> peacepipej1:  sudo killall wvdial
[12:14] <pipelineaudio> what does tmpfs mean?
[12:14] <peacepipej1> sis900:  I know
[12:14] <sis900> pipelineaudio: tmpfs is a ramdisk type
[12:14] <pipelineaudio> man I cant make heads or tails of this
[12:14] <brobstigon> !tmpfs
[12:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tmpfs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:15] <pipelineaudio> if I try and fscks it and its mounted itll tell me and not go right?
[12:15] <sis900> pipelineaudio: no, if you use the -f option it will check anyway. so make sure first.
[12:15] <brobstigon> dont fsck a mounted drive, umount it first, pipelineaudio
[12:15] <pipelineaudio> sudo fsck.ext3 -fy /dev/your_partition
[12:16] <pipelineaudio> err
[12:16] <pipelineaudio> ok lwemme try and tell if these are mounted or not
[12:16] <phanter> I would like to identify an external hdd (over usb). In the fstab I see this can be done with a "special" number (something like: UUID=a53fdc7a-00be-4c4a-b99c-156fec5ab9df). Can I do this with an external drive as well? How do I find the number and how can I put it in ftsab (as the disk is not always connected with the computer)
[12:16] <dgjones> !blkid | phanter
[12:16] <ubotu> phanter: 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)
[12:16] <sis900> pipelineaudio: try   df -h   it also lists mounted filesystems
[12:17] <pipelineaudio> I see filesystems but I dont see any drives
[12:17] <erUSUL> !uuid | phanter
[12:17] <dgjones> phanter, the command ubotu has just given should work for external drives as well
[12:17] <sis900> pipelineaudio: huh?
[12:17] <pipelineaudio> theres no /dev/sda1 for example
[12:17] <alch3mist> how do i confirm a receipt on evolution mail?
[12:17] <phanter> thanks all !!! I will dive into that now
[12:17] <pipelineaudio> theres /var/run and some others like that
[12:17] <hraesvelgr> hi, I was asking here about hdparm before
[12:18] <pipelineaudio> but no drives listed
[12:18] <alch3mist> how do i confirm a receipt on evolution mail? there's no popup ...
[12:18] <pipelineaudio> do I want to unmount the filesystems too? not just the drives?
[12:18] <hraesvelgr> i have another problem
[12:18] <sis900> pipelineaudio: drives also have filesystems
[12:18] <hraesvelgr> if I set hdparm -S 253 I think that is not working, or working partially
[12:18] <sis900> pipelineaudio: you are confusing the terms
[12:19] <pipelineaudio> ok
[12:19] <alch3mist> does reading a received mail in evolution automatically confirms a the receipt?
[12:19] <sis900> pipelineaudio: a filesystem is a structure on a block device
[12:19] <SatManUK> ok i found a list of .deb packages for ubuntu - i don't see a version fo gutsy only feisty any suggestions?
[12:19] <alch3mist> does reading a received mail in evolution automatically confirms a/the receipt?
[12:19] <brobstigon> n my machine, df -h shws a drive filesystem as /dev/hda3 as my root drive,pipelineaudio
[12:19] <SatManUK> sorry for real player
[12:19] <pipelineaudio> let me put it this way df -h lists no drives
[12:19] <pipelineaudio> there are no /dev/xxx on my df -h
[12:19] <brobstigon> well mine does, pipelineaudio
[12:20] <pipelineaudio> there are only /var/run
[12:20] <erUSUL> alch3mist: it depends on the remitent enabling the receipt confirmation.. i guess
[12:20] <Pici> brobstigon: hes on the live cd
[12:20] <pipelineaudio> does that mean I have no mounted drives?
[12:20] <sis900> pipelineaudio: do you mind taking this to a separate channel, so there is not as much noise?
[12:20] <Pici> pipelineaudio: good, you want to provide /dev/xxx as the argument to fsck, whatever your harddrive is
[12:20] <pipelineaudio> I dont mind
[12:20]  * Pici quiets himself
[12:20] <pipelineaudio> wherever is fine
[12:20] <sis900> pipelineaudio: #tuxeth
[12:21] <alch3mist> erUSUL : there's a phrase below my email that says "please kindly confirm the receipt" but evolution doesn't pops a window like msoutlook
[12:22] <IdleOne> alch3mist: I dont use evolution but I would think somewhere in the prefs there should be a setting to auto confirm or ask the receipt of email
[12:23] <erUSUL> alch3mist: you can simply reply to the sender
 erUSUL : found it... it was set as "never" omg
[12:23] <IdleOne> lol
[12:23] <erUSUL> IdleOne: there is but it is for the mails you send ...

[12:34] <Priceguy> My printer stopped working after I upgraded to 7.10. The job becomes Stopped and when I try to cancel I get "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-possible'". The printer doesn't react. Ubuntu can detect the printer and install the driver without problems. It's an HP DeskJet 710C. I have restarted the printer service.
[12:35] <ganeshhegde> ya....in that directory
[12:35] <ganeshhegde> Pici:
[12:35] <Pici> ganeshhegde: do this:  chmod +x build ; ./build
[12:36] <ganeshhegde> ya it worked...thanx a lot..Pici:
[12:38] <Pici> amikrop: the bittorrent-gui package says that its the 'original bittorrent client' I dont know if thats what your looking for

[12:44] <Pici> neopsyche: er, yes.
[12:44] <neopsyche> Pici: thanks
[12:44] <ubotu> Package/file winex does not exist in gutsy
[12:44] <neopsyche> Pici: how do i set tab to add message to last user talked to ?
[12:45] <neopsyche> Pici: on pidgin
[12:45] <Pici> neopsyche: I'm not sure even on my client, no clue how to even try to do it on pidgin.
[12:45] <Akatemik> Hmh, how to troubleshoot a laptop with 7.10 that completely locks when trying to join a wireless network?
[12:45] <neopsyche> pici: it is default in chatzilla
[12:46] <stefg> s0urce: winex is soooo ancient .... my feeling is that the current wine will support more stuff
[12:46] <neopsyche> hmm.. would be nice if pidgin incorporated some new features.
[12:46] <Akatemik> Choosing the access point from the menu at upper corner asks for password, then everything freezes and only help is pressing the power button for 10 secs

[12:46] <jmspeex> Anyone knows why the Gusty installer is stuck at 82% with "scanning the mirror"?
[12:47] <s0urce> and this winex is a cedega build of free cvs version
[12:47] <stefg> jmspeex: because the mirror is slow or down ? .... The use of common sense seems a luxury in this channel....
[12:48] <santh_> how to install tamil fonts
[12:48] <steven_> hi any one help me setup evolution please?
[12:48] <stefg> santh_: aren't they install by default ?
[12:48] <jmspeex> stefg: I mean *stuck*. So far I haven't had a single Gusty install working correctly, so the installer is more likely to be at fault here too.
[12:49] <santh_> i want to install it on the openoffice
[12:49] <jmspeex> Seriously, Gusty is overall not really more buggy than Feisty, but the installer is really buggy
[12:49] <steven_> can any one help me??
[12:49] <stefg> jmspeex: tried different mirrors, or the main mirror at archive.ubuntu.com? Might be as well you are suffering from the ipv6 problem with certain routers
[12:49] <Pici> santh_: install the ttf-tamil-fonts package.
[12:51] <stefg> jmspeex: try installing offline (remove network cable, don't configure network) then disable ipv6 and do language packs and updates later
[12:51] <santh_> could not find the package ttf message displayed
[12:51] <ganeshhegde> how to take screen shot in ubuntu?

[12:53] <ganeshhegde> Pici:where that option is?
[12:53] <Pici> ganeshhegde: its a key on your keyboard.
[12:54] <theseacook> hi
[12:54] <toresn> i have a problem regarding mplayer:
[12:54] <toresn> mplayer itself is working fine, but whenever I drag and drop a file on the program a error message is displayed and mplayer exits.
[12:54] <toresn> Title: Fatal error!
[12:54] <toresn> Mplayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: unknown

[12:55] <Oli``> Anyone know how to write a "for each directory (do something)" shell script?
[12:56] <stefg> loguser1: when it's mounted under /media it will get one automatically. Note that unix/linux doesn't think of /drives/ , but in terms of mount points, so adding a shortcut with 'nautilus </your/mountpoint> would do that
[12:56] <sipior> Oli``: that descends recursively?
[12:56] <Oli``> sipior: there's only one level of dirs, so recursion isn't needed
[12:57] <sipior> Oli``: in that case, try "for dir in [directory list] do..."

[13:11] <barbie> hi, When i run some other desktop environment instead of gnome, all the gtk widgets takes the old gtk look, but if i run gnome-theme-manager, everything goes fine
[13:12] <void^> barbie: yes, that's how it works.
[13:13] <Jakobsen> I have a few Cisco VPN connections I would like to use in Ubuntu
[13:13] <barbie> but how to make it so that i dont have to explicitly do it?
[13:13] <ctartamella> I was hoping someone could give me some pointers here... ive done everything I can think of to get dvd playback working... installed libdvdnav and libdvdread, ran /usr/share/doc/libdvdread/install-css.sh... even tried various players including vlc, mplayer, xine, and totem-xine and still no luck.  can anyone tell me if im missing something?
[13:13] <Jakobsen> What client would you recommend?
[13:13] <VSpike> Jakobsen: kvpnc
[13:13] <Jakobsen> kvpnc? that sounds KDE-ish?
[13:13] <void^> barbie: have it automatically started if you run gtk apps often.
[13:14] <Jakobsen> VSpike: what about the network-manager-vpnc?
[13:15] <barbie> void^: Oh! i mean, how why start theme manager, this is an application, there must be some underlying application that is giving the theme support... which one?
[13:15] <VSpike> Jakobsen: yeah it is kde - not sure about other alternatives
[13:16] <Jakobsen> VSpike: I don't want to use KDE interfaces on my GNOME desktop :)

The job becomes Stopped and when I try to cancel I get "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-possible'". The printer doesn't react. Ubuntu can detect the printer and install the driver without problems. It's an HP DeskJet 710C. I have restarted the printer service.

[13:25] <salsero> hallo ich habe eben xmms per adept deinstalliert und xmms2 installiert. gibt es von xmms2 keine gui?

[13:25] <pavs> sipior I got it thanks alot
[13:26] <salsero> ok thx
[13:26] <salsero> sorry
[13:26] <sipior> salsero: no worries
[13:28] <RobJ> Hi!
[13:29] <sipior> salsero: to answer your question, i believe you have to install a separate client for xmms2, have a look at gxmms2
[13:29] <salsero> Sipingal, maybe u can help me. i have deinstalled xmms by adept and installed xmms2. does xmms2 not have a gui
[13:29] <salsero> sipior, i am using kubuntu can i also install gxmms2?
[13:30] <sipior> salsero: yes, the developers decided that xmms2 would be an Ultimate Media Server(TM), which could then be connected to via a multitude of clients. Sigh.
[13:30] <sipior> salsero: not sure if there is a KDE equivalent
[13:30] <RobJ> I went to UbuntuStudio support yesterday... about installing UbuntuStudio. The installation crashed at the partitioning stage.  This morning, i removed my main hdd, and kept the hdd i wanted to install Ubuntu onto, it got to 'installing base system' and then my computer just shutdown (which it also did with ubuntu studio at partitioning). Now when i try and install Ubuntu, it just reboot'
[13:31] <RobJ> reboots*
[13:31] <salsero> sipior, i will try it now
[13:31] <tomasz154> I bought  cheap bluetooth, it works well on ubuntu 7.10, but syslog is flooded with "hci_scodata_packet: hci0 SCO packet for unknown connection handle 92", should i throw this bt to trash?
[13:31] <RobJ> If its any consilation, I am using the latest Ubuntu version, and the alternative ISO
[13:31] <sipior> salsero: have a look at the xmms2 web page, maybe they recommend a kde client? i'm afraid i'm a gnome man myself, so won't be of much use to you.
[13:34] <ChrrisG> anyone in here want to helo me set up my web server
[13:34] <ChrrisG> i just finished installing lamp
[13:34] <sipior> RobJ: is the machine stable if you are just running from the live CD?
[13:35] <manu__> yes
[13:35] <RobJ> I'm afraid i do not have a live CD version, though i have got Vixta on LiveCD, that work fine, although it is based on Fedora.  Also, I can install Kubuntu on the machine fine.
[13:36] <sipior> RobJ: k, that makes a hardware problem unlikely
[13:37] <sipior> RobJ: is there any sort of metapackage for ubuntu studio? could you simply install it under kubuntu?
[13:38] <RobJ> I've heard of a 'Synaptic's tool, in Ubuntu that would install the package. But i've looked in Kubuntu and cannot find it.
[13:38] <Pici> RobJ: adept is the KDE package manager
[13:39] <RobJ> So, is it worth reinstalling Kubuntu and then installing Studio under that?
[13:39] <sipior> RobJ: if it works, it's better than what you have now! :-)
[13:39] <Pici> RobJ: How many times have you tried to install studio?
[13:39] <Tomcat_> sipior: tasksel knows Ubuntu Studio.
[13:39] <g-e> hey, my system is very slow when i use OpenOffice. Is that because of memory usage of OO? I have 192mb.
[13:40] <Tomcat_> g-e: Probably. How much swap? :O)
[13:40] <vbabiy> hey any one know where i can get Windows Media Audio 9 decoder codec for totem
[13:40] <Tomcat_> vbabiy: Install ubuntu-restricted-extras.
[13:40] <g-e> Tomcat_: i think 1 gig.
[13:40] <Pici> !codecs > vbabiy (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[13:40] <Tomcat_> g-e: Probably too much for your mem then, yeah. :I
[13:40] <vbabiy> Tomcat_: I have still don't work
[13:41] <sipior> g-e: ouch...i'm amazed you can boot ubuntu :-)
[13:41] <Tomcat_> vbabiy: Mh. No idea then... :(
[13:41] <g-e> Tomcat_: "free" says Swap total: 1212868 Swap used: 140032
[13:41] <g-e> sipior: why?
[13:41] <Pici> vbabiy: I don't think that wmv9 files can be played at all if they are drm protected.
[13:42] <sipior> g-e: that's precious little memory by modern standards. i think firefox is barely comfortable in that much memory anymore
[13:42] <RobJ> I've tried Studio many times, The first time it got to partitioning and crashed. The times after that it just crashed when i picked an install mode. I've also tried this morning, after removing my main hdd leaving my slave, that worked upto 'installing base system', and now it crashed when i choose any install mode.  When i try regular ubuntu that also crashes on any install mode, ofcourse i haven't tried installing that before Studio, that i shall try whe
[13:42] <g-e> sipior: amazing. well, i can put in 2gig in this motherboard, so i will probably do that.
[13:43] <sipior> g-e: yeah, you'll notice a big difference, believe me
[13:44] <g-e> sipior: if some app on my system would have a memory-leak, how would i find out?

[13:55] <josch_> sis900, yes it is running
[13:55] <thompa> i got a partial upgrade message. second one, in 64 ubuntu, but not on the 386
[13:55] <sis900> josch_: and iwconfig does not show eth1?
[13:55] <sipior> steven_: the kernel timer resolution is fixed at kernel compilation...you can change it, but most architectures support a very few values
[13:56] <josch_> sis900, yepp
[13:56] <ion> how do I remove the firefox and all the files that is related with...
[13:56] <thompa> i think its cause of xine
[13:56] <ion> I wanna restall fresh copy...
[13:56] <thompa> i got xine on one box but not the other, but why it goes through partial upgrade?
[13:56] <sis900> josch_: do you have some kind of wireless kill switch on your notebook? preferably one that is hardware-processed?
[13:56] <sipior> ion: why not just reinstall?
[13:56] <thompa> where do i see the upgrade logs?
[13:56] <steven_> sorry rose garden is a music program
[13:57] <josch_> sis900, no - there is none and I used my wlan for a year now without problems
[13:57] <sis900> josch_: which notebook is it?
[13:57] <thompa> is it the xine plugins anyone?
[13:57] <josch_> sis900, and pressing a power switch wouldn't habe this effect wouldn't it?
[13:57] <ion> sirior: because my firefox doesn't work properly at all I did that but doesn't work
[13:57] <josch_> sis900, dell inspiron d830
[13:57] <robdudley> Hi All. Quick question regarding upgrading ubuntu from 32 to 64 bit - is it possible to upgrade in situ or is it advisable to simply re-install from the CD. Current os is Gutsy 32 bit and target os is Gutsy 64 bit.
[13:57] <steven_> so if i change it it may mess my pc up>>>
[13:58] <sis900> josch_: "a power switch"?
[13:58] <sipior> ion: well, how does firefox fail? generally that doesn't happen spontaneously.
[13:58] <clever[rev]> !javac
[13:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about javac - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[13:58] <sis900> josch_: you have more than one?
[13:58] <etale> is it possible for me to install ubuntu on an external hard drive, and use it as usual?  I think this should be possible, but I'm a little foggy on the details
[13:58] <thompa> ion: there is an update ubufox just now

[13:58] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[13:58] <josch_> sis900, well - a switch to power up the wlan - there is none
[13:58] <sipior> steven_: did this program give any more info? like, what value of the timer it was expecting?
[13:58] <thompa> i cant find the upgrade logs
[13:59] <clever[rev]> etale: ive done that with a drive in a usb enclosure but the pc needed to be able to boot from usb
[13:59] <clever[rev]> etale: you could use a boot floppy to fix that but that might get anoying
[13:59] <sis900> josch_: do you have the live cd so you can test it on the live system?
[13:59] <steven_> no just that it was low
[13:59] <ion> sipior: well I turn off the machine and when I turn on my rss didn't work anymore.
[13:59] <steven_> i re boot it
[13:59] <sis900> josch_: just wanna make sure it is not a hardware issue
[13:59] <josch_> sis900, i already wrote that I tested it on a live system cd
[14:00] <thompa> very strange, one box the 64 has done 2 partial upgrades, but 386 nota
[14:00] <josch_> sis900, it's exactly the same there
[14:00] <sipior> steven_: frankly, i'd file a bug report against the package. see if they have an irc help channel first
[14:00] <sipior> ion: what do you use for rss?
[14:00] <sipior> ion: the internal firefox feed browser?
[14:00] <thompa> anyone running 64 and xine?
[14:00] <sis900> josch_: sorry, i missed that part. "desktop cd" wasn't too obvious
[14:00] <ion> sipior: yeah
[14:00] <josch_> sis900, okay sry
[14:01] <sipior> ion: try renaming your .mozilla directory temporarily
[14:01] <josch_> sis900, this looks like my wlan card died doesn't it?
[14:01] <ion> sipior: the one that came with when I fist installed.
[14:01] <sipior> ion: might be a preference file is in an amusing state
[14:01] <sis900> josch_: i see there is also the new iwl3945 driver on gutsy. maybe both drivers are loaded and compete for the same hardware?
[14:01] <josch_> sis900, but also on the live cd??
[14:01] <sis900> josch_: i think so
[14:02] <josch_> sis900, how do I check this?
[14:02] <sipior> ion: rename the .mozilla directory in your $HOME, and see if it works when you restart firefox
[14:02] <sis900> josch_: if you want, you can d'load my own mini live system (37mb) which has only the iwl3945 driver
[14:02] <josch_> sis900, great! url?
[14:02] <sis900> josch_: just a moment
[14:03] <etale> clever[rev] one can rest bios to boot from USB, that's fine.
[14:03] <ion> sipior: man I've been messing up a lot and I couldn't sort it out now I wanna the whole thing new again..but when I removed using the terminal and reinstaled again the old configuration was there..
[14:03] <clever[rev]> etale: yeah but only if the bios supports it
[14:03] <sis900> josch_: http://141.30.28.111:7447/
[14:03] <sipior> ion: have you tried renaming the .mozilla directory yet?
[14:03] <clever[rev]> etale: i installed to a normal laptop hdd in the laptop then later stuck it in the external usb enclosure and it still worked
[14:03] <ion> sipior: so I wanna remove it as well..
[14:04] <josch_> sis900, if it doesn't work it has to be the hardware`
[14:04] <josch_> ?
[14:04] <sis900> josch_: it is a remaster of an early damn small linux version. i added kernel 2.6.23.1
[14:04] <ion> sipior: no..
[14:04] <sis900> josch_: or there is a rf kill switch and you didn't noticed yet
[14:04] <clever[rev]> etale: you could also just use the livecd and the persistant option
[14:04] <etale> clever[rev] what's persistant?
[14:05] <sipior> ion: then best you get to it and see if it solves anything
[14:05] <clever[rev]> etale: getting the link
[14:05] <ion> sipior: right and if doesn't ?
[14:05] <clever[rev]> etale: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence
[14:05] <josch_> sis900, but even with an rf kill switch the wlan card should show up in the network manager?
[14:05] <steven_> yeah didnt think of that thanks for the help
[14:05] <clever[rev]> etale: you make a special file on a usb stick(or hdd) and its used to make the livecd system less readonly(all writes go to that special file)
[14:06] <sis900> josch_: i don't know exactly, as i don't use network manager
[14:06] <sipior> ion: why don't you at least try my suggestion, and see if it provides any further information to us
[14:06] <josch_> sis900, or in iwconfig or ifconfig
[14:06] <sis900> josch_: yes, it should appear in iwconfig
[14:06] <ion> sipior: sure I will..
[14:06] <clever[rev]> etale: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent may also be usefull
[14:06] <The_Machine> i just installed firefox 3 - where would it be located?
[14:07] <The_Machine> (it's the beta)
[14:07] <sis900> josch_: maybe it is a resource problem caused by buggy acpi bios. did you update your bios lately?
[14:07] <j-rock> hello, anyone know what package happens to contain alsaconf
[14:07] <ion> sipior: and I appreciate that...
[14:07] <josch_> sis900, then it's unlikely that there is any killswitch I don't know and I pressed because it doesn't show up in iwconfig
[14:07] <josch_> sis900, no, no update of the bios
[14:07] <thompa> j-rock: do you have alsa tools?
[14:08] <j-rock> thompa: installed that already
[14:08] <josch_> sis900, kernel maybe but the ipw3945 module would refuse to load on the wrong kernel version
[14:08] <j-rock> i sat down at my machine this morning to find that there is no recognized sound device
[14:08] <sis900> josch_: already got the vDSL image?
[14:08] <josch_> sis900, jop burning it
[14:08] <RobJ> UPDATE: Kubuntu installed and booted.
[14:08] <thompa> j-rock: i had that problem, i could not find package
[14:09] <sis900> josch_: alright. it has german keymap by default, aber ich glaube das ist okay fuer dich :)
[14:09] <josch_> sis900, klar, danke
[14:09] <j-rock> thompa: the no sound devices problem?
[14:09] <ion> sipior: I think worked but my rss isn't there anymore how can I put it back in my tool bar..?
[14:09] <thompa> j-rock: i have it working here
[14:09] <thompa> j-rock: whats the problem
[14:09] <sis900> josch_: you can also run the vdsl system entirely in RAM by using boot commandline:  dsl toram
[14:10] <free_loader> I need help!.. how does one upgrade to firefox3 on gutsy ? this will work ==>> sudo apt-get upgrade firefox
[14:10] <sis900> josch_: so you can eject the cd after booting
[14:10] <j-rock> thompa: well, i have no sound basically.  The output i get from mpg123 is error: Can't open default sound device!
[14:10] <sipior> ion: yes, you'll have the default configuration again. simply add it there as you did before. if this works, you'll need to import from the old .mozilla directory as well
[14:10] <etale> clever[rev] ok cool, thanks I'll give it a try!
[14:10] <sipior> ion: import your bookmarks, i mean
[14:10] <free_loader> sipior? i'm guessing that answer was for me?!
[14:10] <thompa> j-rock: go first system preferences
[14:11] <sipior> free_loader: no, it wasn't
[14:11] <free_loader> oh damn!
[14:11] <j-rock> thompa: im in kde
[14:11] <thompa> j-rock: did you put alsa there
[14:11] <thompa> oh
[14:11] <dgjones> free_loader, you won't be able to use apt-get to upgrade to firefox 3, the repo's arer unlikely to have it included until the next version of ubuntu
[14:11] <clever[rev]> :)
[14:11] <ion> sipior: my book mark is back as before but not my rss.
[14:11] <snake> bonjour tout le monde!
[14:11] <Lunks> Hi, what program can I use to extract guikit files?
[14:11] <free_loader> i use GUTSY, isn't that new enougth?
[14:11] <sipior> ion: how did you configure your rss aggregator before?
[14:12] <thompa> j-rock: install alsamixer
[14:12] <RobJ> How do i install UbuntuStudio within Kubuntu? I
[14:12] <sipior> free_loader: well, it is firefox 3 *beta*, isn't it?
[14:12] <RobJ> I'm in the Adept thing
[14:12] <j-rock> thompa: i've got it, everything is unmuted
[14:12] <ion> sipior: before as automaticly...
[14:12] <Pici> RobJ: install the ubuntustudio-desktop package.
[14:13] <thompa> j-rock: are you running alsamixergui, all the files installed?
[14:13] <ion> sipior: before was automaticly I mean...
[14:13] <RobJ> Pici: Where do i get that?
[14:13] <thompa> j-rock: i had to install that i think
[14:13] <j-rock> thompa: i just use the ncurses one
[14:13] <Pici> RobJ: Its in the repositories
[14:13] <ion> sipior: and I don't now how to do this..
[14:13] <ion> sipior: was bbc
[14:13] <j-rock> thompa: i'll try that though
[14:13] <sipior> ion: what was done automatically? adding rss feeds? or adding an icon to the toolbar?
[14:13] <RobJ> Pici:  I'm lost?  Do i insert my Studio CD?
[14:13] <free_loader> sipior: there is a firefox upgrade video on youtube
[14:13] <dgjones> free_loader, you could look at this, it suggests it has been included in the repo's, but its probably not worth upgrading yet until it comes out of beta as it won't be supported in the ubuntu channels and could cause problems with other app's http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r19368200-Firefox-3-in-the-Ubuntu-repos
[14:13] <free_loader> to firefox3
[14:14] <thompa> j-rock: just go to synaptic search alsa first
[14:14] <Pici> RobJ: in adept, search for ubuntustudo-desktop, then install it.
[14:14] <free_loader> oh okay... thanks dgjones
[14:14] <ion> sipior: an icon.
[14:14] <sipior> free_loader: you can just grab the binary and install it in your home directory, add to default path, and there you go
[14:14] <thompa> j-rock: i was running xubuntu and alsaconfig worked
[14:14] <dgjones> free_loader, if you look at the packages.ubuntu site for it, it does say its not for production use and is only a test version
[14:15] <j-rock> thompa: how'd you get alsaconfig
[14:15] <Pici> free_loader: The version in the repositories is the alpha, not the beta
[14:15] <thompa> j-rock: on the macbook it works on this 64 box, not yet
[14:15] <RobJ> Pici, I'm guessing i need my internet.  My network cable to my router is shared between the computer and this laptop. I'll come back soon and give an update as to whether its worked. :) Thanks for now!
[14:15] <loguser1> where can i find drivers and softwares for alpha tv tuner ?
[14:15] <Pici> RobJ: good luck
[14:15] <thompa> j-rock: just a sec
[14:16] <Pici> !tv > loguser1 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[14:16] <ion> sipior: and I don't know how to do it...
[14:16] <josch_> sis900, I cannot do modprobe ipw3945
[14:16] <MrLinux> Hy there I need some help .. My Ubuntu has an Nautilius error ..
[14:16] <sipior> ion: i don't use the firefox rss reader myself, but try going to your preferences dialogue, clicking on "Feeds", and make sure that "Live Bookmarks" is selected. then head to the bbc and click on the little rss button in the url window
[14:17] <sis900> josch_: there is no ipw3945
[14:17] <livingdaylight> Hola! People of Ubuntu!!!
[14:17] <sis900> josch_: just iwl3945
[14:17] <sis900> josch_: and that one should be loaded already
[14:17] <livingdaylight> We are because we ALL are!!
[14:17] <Ben81> I've got a "Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel" when I boot on a live CD (7.10) do you know why ?
[14:17] <josch_> sis900, yeah it is
[14:17] <livingdaylight> Viva Ubunteros! !
[14:17] <sis900> josch_: and no wlan0?
[14:17] <thompa> j-rock: you typed in alsamixergui in terminal?
[14:17] <josch_> sis900, but still iwconfig shows nothing
[14:17] <sis900> josch_: any hints in dmesg?
[14:18] <josch_> will have a look at it
[14:18] <sipior> jesus, livingdaylight, pass some of that around, will ya?
[14:18] <RobJ> I'm back on Kubuntu's IRC Client...  I searched for UbuntuStudio-desktop, yet there is no results. :(
[14:18] <josch_> sis900, is there a dmesg in the live dsl cd?
[14:18] <j-rock> thompa: yeah, i did that, it told me the same information that alsamixer did
[14:18] <sis900> josch_: i mean the dmesg command
[14:19] <j-rock> thompa: nothing is muted, everything has volume
[14:19] <josch_> ah
[14:19] <sis900> josch_: dmesg | less
[14:19] <thompa> ok
[14:19] <josch_> sis900, I typed it in wrong
[14:19] <Csaba> anyone using nero 3?
[14:19] <livingdaylight> sipior: si,,, it is all about sharing the good vibe...
[14:20] <CochiseIRL> Csaba, i've tried it before
[14:20] <josch_> sis900, ha!!
[14:21] <sis900> josch_: hm?
[14:21] <josch_> sis900, iwl tells me that there actually is a kill switch
[14:21] <sipior> ion: were you able to add an rss feed?
[14:21] <Pici> RobJ: You're running an install, not the LiveCD< right?
[14:21] <notpro> hi
[14:21] <sis900> josch_: so you have to find out what triggers it
[14:21] <josch_> sis900, iwl3945: RF kill switch is on
[14:21] <notpro> any one there ?
[14:21] <Csaba> i have a issue where it says i dont have permission to access /dev/sg0
[14:21] <thompa> j-rock: close any media program first
[14:21] <josch_> sis900, grr...
[14:21] <Csaba> how do i fix this?
[14:21] <RobJ> Pici: An install, yes.
[14:22] <sis900> josch_: maybe it is a bios setting, maybe a Fn+Fx combination, ...
[14:22] <notpro> sadasd

[14:22] <notpro> sad
[14:22] <notpro> a
[14:22] <notpro> da
[14:22] <thompa> j-rock: in kubuntu go to the control center, change everything to alsa auto (or default)
[14:22] <josch_> sis900, thx for your help - the searching has to be done by me ^^
[14:22] <Pici> RobJ: from a terminal type this:  sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop
[14:22] <sipior> what's with all the keyboard freaks today?
[14:23] <Csaba> cochise, no , how do i do that?
[14:23] <sis900> josch_: okay
[14:23] <thompa> j-rock: that worked for me, but im in ubuntu
[14:23] <loguser1> Pici:  which one to download . i need soft and driver . both
[14:23] <josch_> sis900, thx a lot for your help!
[14:23] <CochiseIRL> Csaba, open System > Administration > Users and Groups
[14:23] <Pici> loguser1: probably both.
[14:23] <RobJ> Pici: It ask's me for a password, is this my user password?
[14:23] <Pici> RobJ: indeed.
[14:23] <j-rock> thompa: it isnt finding the device for me
[14:23] <sis900> josch_: the iwl3945 driver will be the default in future kernels
[14:23] <thompa> j-rock: was your hardware detected, whats the computer?
[14:23] <sis900> josch_: it doesn't need that nasty daemon
[14:24] <RobJ> Pici:   it didnt work,
[14:24] <RobJ> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavail                                                              able)

[14:24] <RobJ> okay
[14:24] <j-rock> thompa: so i am fairly sure its detected
[14:24] <loguser1> which one in http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/         ?
[14:24] <krish> hi all

[14:26] <j-rock> thompa: dell m65,  0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel, so some intel sound chip
[14:26] <thompa> j-rock: sorry i cant help any more than that, but it sounds like you need to select alsa device in kde?
[14:26] <Profanephobia> RobJ, you need universe enabled to download ubuntustudio-desktop

[14:36] <ikonia> RobD: no
[14:36] <RobJ> Profanephobia: Nevermnid, found it
[14:36] <pawan> my friend is saying ubuntu in not linux but red hat is linux
[14:36] <Pici> pawan: Red Hat is another Distribution of Linux.  This is a but offtopic for here, try asking in ##linux
[14:36] <cubedsi> pawan redhat is another corporate backed linux but actual redhat isn't free to buy just free to modify
[14:36] <krish> pawan: red hat is linux that wears a red colored hat
[14:36] <xevil> pawan: your friend is misinformed...
[14:36] <void^> pawan: and fedora is the official free version of redhat.
[14:37] <krish> ubuntu is a linux that symbolizes collaboration
[14:37] <Profanephobia> RobJ, you want to enable the community maintained (universe)
[14:37] <RobD> ikonia: right - thanks anyway
[14:37] <ikonia> RobD: sorry its no the answer you wanted
[14:37] <RobJ> Profanephobia: I think Universe is enabled?  If it has an X in the checkbox, is that enabled or disabled?
[14:37] <CochiseIRL> Csaba, have you tried brasero?
[14:37] <Mark761966> Is there a good OSX type doc for Ubuntu GTK with a deb file?

[14:38] <Csaba> cochise, no i havent, ill look into it
[14:38] <Profanephobia> RobJ, enabled ok in terminal do kdesu apt-get update
[14:38] <krish> shipit.ubuntu.com
[14:38] <RobD> ikonia: it's not a problem. I suspected as much - i'm actually pretty chuffed with the speed and authority of the response :-) - this is my first time in #ubuntu

[14:38] <jnb> I've downloaded 'ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run', but what do i open it with to install the driver?
[14:38] <CochiseIRL> Csaba, its a gtk burning suite it does image files, data disks and audio disks.
[14:38] <Denyerec> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=340664  <-- this does not work for me (vga=788) and I just get a blank screen after grub loads.  What gives?
[14:38] <Pici> jnb: Any particular reason you aren't using the restricted drivers in ubuntu?
[14:38] <ikonia> RobD: no problem, enjoy. RobD as a side issue any reasons you want to go to 64bit ?
[14:39] <pawan> wat is the disk space reqired to install this
[14:39] <Csaba> cochise, i was looking at roast but brasero seems good
[14:39] <RobD> ikonia: I've just upped my laptop to 4gb ram and would like to be able to address it all .. planning some virtualisation madness!
[14:39] <jnb> Pici, i've read that those aren't the latest drivers avaiblable. but 8.42.3 are
[14:39] <loguser1> iam unable to use my tv card. (alpha tv tuner)
[14:39] <RobJ> Profanephobia: Hmm, it was disabledi think. It did some update thing in Adept but it still doesnt find UbuntuStudio-desktop
[14:39] <rubydiamond> How to make GVIM full screen under ubuntu
[14:39] <ikonia> RobD: just so you are aware 32bit can use 4gb of ram, just in different ways
[14:40] <r3m0t> pawan: preferably at least 4GB of disk space, although you can use less
[14:40] <loguser1> its pci
[14:40] <RobD> ikonia: I wasn't aware - do tell ...
[14:40] <CochiseIRL> Csaba, i highly recommend brasero to install it open a terminal, and type sudo apt-get install brasero
[14:40] <Profanephobia> RobJ, try doing kdesu apt-cache search ubuntu studio
[14:40] <void^> jnb: but unless you need the latest version for a good reason you should just use ubuntu's packaged driver, and save yourself a lot of likely wasted time.
[14:41] <Csaba> cochise, im a noob so ill use synaptic :)
[14:41] <ikonia> RobD its probably not right for you, more so with you doing virtualisation, but basiclly a 32bit laptop can see 4 gig of ram, (remember the hugemem kernel patch for redhat) it just can't address it all. There is a doc on it, let me see if I can find it
[14:41] <Mickvdv> hello
[14:41] <Profanephobia> jnb, even though i highly dont recommend using that driver here is a tutorial http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/10/23/fglrx-8423---finally-with-AIGLX-support#
[14:41] <CochiseIRL> Csaba, yup let me know how you get on with it

[14:43] <Lumpy^> hey.. im using ubuntu and im trying to connect with ssh from network (lan) , its writes me that the connection is refused (he even not check my password) how can i figure what is the problem ?
[14:43] <loguser1> helo..........
[14:43] <mrsno> hey Lumpy^ , first did you install the openssh-server package?
[14:43] <sipior> Lumpy^: is the ssh daemon running?
[14:44] <ikonia> Lumpy^: sshd not listening on the target server
[14:44] <Lumpy^> how can i check ?
[14:44] <ikonia> Lumpy or it setup to use ssh keys only
[14:44] <CochiseIRL> the tutorial Profanephobia gave you is what i normally give people follow it fully and you should be ok or find me on ubuntuforums and click the link to my blog and follow the instructions there, it'll tell you how to whitelist the ati driver for compiz as well
[14:44] <ikonia> Lumpy^: ps -ef | grep ssh on the server
[14:44] <justinpr> Lumpy^: try ssh -v user@host
[14:44] <mrsno> dpkg -l | grep -i ssh
[14:44] <Csaba> cochise, cheerz mate, works awesome it sees all my drives & partitions
[14:44] <RobJ> Profanephobia:   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45365/
[14:44] <CochiseIRL> Csaba, try starting an audio cd project and adding an mp3 file and check if that works
[14:45] <Profanephobia> CochiseIRL, yeah its a good tutorial...easy to follow
[14:45] <Lumpy^> its writes me /usr/bin somthing
[14:45] <Lumpy^> 2 lines
[14:45] <Pici> Lumpy^: which command?
[14:45] <pawan> how to install ubuntu
[14:45] <CochiseIRL> Profanephobia, if you edt compiz in /usr/bin/compiz and add fglrx to the whitelist you dont need to create the start up script form the tut which is handy
[14:45] <Lumpy^> ps - ... grep
[14:45] <Pici> !install | pawan
[14:45] <ubotu> pawan: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[14:45] <jnb> void^ and Profanephobia: thanks, maybe i'll just install the packaged driver
[14:45] <mrsno> Lumpy^ if you could paste the output of the commands mentioned, so we can see if its running :)
[14:46] <Profanephobia> jnb, its the best nd safest bet
[14:46] <mrsno> but don't paste them in tthe channel, use a pastebin service please
[14:46] <Sonderblade> why doesn't apitude purge emacs21 remove /etc/emacs21?
[14:46] <Lumpy^> sec ill
[14:47] <atlfalcons866> !pastebin
[14:47] <d4ef6s> please somebody can sayme in which folder is the cache for the software downloaded and instaled  from the ubuntu server ?

[14:47] <d4ef6s> , i want save this for install in other computer whithout internet acces
[14:47] <Profanephobia> RobJ, ok do me a favor and use pastebin to paste the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. do not edit the file yet
[14:47] <titun> i use ubuntu primarily, and xp for others who use my PC and want Windows, now i would like to triple boot with OpenSuse to taste it :) how should i proceed?
[14:47] <rubydiamond> How to make GVIM full screen under ubuntu
[14:47] <Denyerec> what'st the difference between start on runlevel 2  and start on stopped rc2
[14:47] <r3m0t> titun: pick up your tasting spoon... ;-)
[14:48] <titun> r3m0t: :) i mean how do i configure triple boot options
[14:48] <mrsno> d4ef6s the .deb files you have downloaded/installed are kept in /var/cache/apt/archives off the top of my head, but you could check into "apt on cd" which is useful for systems without internet
[14:48] <titun> r3m0t: i have grub installed in the MBR
[14:48] <RobJ> Profanephobia:   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45366/
[14:49] <ikonia> titun: configure the boot options you want in menu.lst
[14:49] <Lumpy^> gerzilla  5554  5519  0 16:41 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent x-session-manager
[14:49] <r3m0t> titun: if you want to install opensuse after ubuntu, it's basically an opensuse question, isn't it? I expect the opensuse installer will notice ubuntu and windows and install grub with an appropriate menu
[14:49] <Super-Sonic-Sega> what's the bash command for kicking someone off a network
[14:49] <d4ef6s> thz mrsno
[14:49] <mrsno> np
[14:49] <r3m0t> Super-Sonic-Sega: which network?
[14:49] <Profanephobia> RobJ, are you running a tablet pc by any chance?
[14:49] <titun> ikonia: after installing Suse? how do i access ubuntu once i have installed it
[14:49] <Lumpy^> gerzilla@gerzilla:~$ ps -ef|grep ssh
[14:50] <Super-Sonic-Sega> idk
[14:50] <RobJ> Profanephobia:  Nope.
[14:50] <ikonia> r3m0t it will do more than that, it not only updates the menu.lst but it will also replace grub on the mbr with suses packaged version of grub
[14:50] <Super-Sonic-Sega> how do I logout someone whos logged in
[14:50] <ikonia> titun: configure t in the menu.lst or hope that suse does it for you
[14:50] <r3m0t> ikonia: I know, is that a problem?
[14:50] <Pici> Super-Sonic-Sega: on your computer?
[14:50] <ikonia> Super-Sonic-Sega: kill -11 on their shell
[14:50] <ikonia> r3m0t: it can be
[14:50] <Lumpy^> whats next? is the sshd running?
[14:50] <Super-Sonic-Sega> k
[14:50] <jnb> CochiseIRL, maybe i'll just install the packaged driver, thanks anyway. after that it just remains to get compiz running
[14:50] <ikonia> Lumpy^: ssh in
[14:50] <Lumpy^> in remote?
[14:51] <r3m0t> titun: opensuse will put ubuntu on the list when you start your computer. if not, booth into opensuse and come back here for help
[14:51] <ikonia> Lumpy^: yes
[14:51] <Lumpy^> connection refused
[14:51] <ikonia> r3m0t: for example opensuse grub may not support UUID addressing
[14:51] <ikonia> Lumpy^: have you installed openssh-server on the REMOTE server
[14:51] <al_> hi
[14:52] <Profanephobia> RobJ, k in terminal do kdesu cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.org to make a backup before we try this
[14:52] <r3m0t> ikonia: well that's something to deal with after s/he installs opensuse, not now :-)
[14:52] <Lumpy^> no
[14:52] <ikonia> r3m0t I'd rather not deal with it at all
[14:52] <loguser1>  is there a place where i can find most famous , "catagorised" apps for linux.
[14:52] <ikonia> Lumpy^: thats why then
[14:52] <ikonia> loguser1: its just personal opinion
[14:52] <Dekkard> C
[14:52] <ikonia> C#
[14:53] <r3m0t> loguser1: there's the popularity rating in ubuntu. on "add/remove programs", sort by popularity
[14:53] <RobJ> Profanephobia:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45368/                has it worked?
[14:54] <Dekkard> catagorised?
[14:54] <Profanephobia> RobJ, you didnt set a destination do everything within these quotes " kdesu cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg,conf.orig"
[14:54] <RobJ> Oh, sorry
[14:55] <short> i'm an ubuntu noob
[14:55] <theunixgeek> Whenever I log in, the login screen disappears and then the screen becomes light brown before the music plays and my desktop loads. How do I change this light brown color?
[14:55] <Profanephobia> RobJ, no problem
[14:55] <short> using ubuntu 64bit, any benefits over 32 bit?
[14:55] <short> I am currently on 64bit 7,10
[14:55] <Profanephobia> short, one is you can utilize more RAM
[14:56] <short> that's ?
[14:56] <loguser1> can one recommend a very good , dictionary. (better if multimedia) for my pc?
[14:56] <short> I can install more ram?
[14:56] <atlfalcons866> whats rm -rf  do
[14:56] <sipior> atlfalcons866: awful things
[14:56] <Profanephobia> short, i have 4gb in one 64bit machine
[14:56] <theunixgeek> atlfalcons866: it removes a folder
[14:56] <Pici> atlfalcons866: it deletes files/directories without prompting the user for confirmation
[14:56] <short> well I guess If I'm already using 64 bit, might as wellstick with it
[14:56] <RobJ> Profanephobia:  It's made the backup. :)

[14:57] <ata4ix> ok

[14:57] <nfusco> hey all, I need some advice, ive just after installing gutsy on a Inspiron 8500 using the broadcom chipset, im no expert, but Id like to know what my best best path to take to get my wifi card working, so i can use in multiple locations, Ive read up a bit and theres people talking about using the restricted driver and using wicd, uninstalling the gnome network manager or using ndiswrapper, whats my best option to achieve what i want?
[14:57] <atlfalcons866> there is undelete in ext2
[14:58] <Pici> atlfalcons866: I wouldnt rely on any form of undelete on any filesystem.
[14:58] <atlfalcons866> i know
[14:58] <Profanephobia> nfusco, using restricted driver manager to install the broadcom firmware works great but you will need a internet connection
[14:58] <ata4ix> i just have error from Xserver on kubuntu 7.10 with this  message: The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports ... Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap. How i can fix this?
[14:58] <LjL-Temp> atlfalcons866: on ext2, yes, it's harder (impossible mostly) on ext3
[14:58] <titun> r3m0t: yes, i should experiment myself on triple boot a bit, with back-up of course :)

[14:59] <ata4ix> under root user i can start xserver and all done, but from other users xserver crashes
[14:59] <Profanephobia> RobJ,  you have to open it as kdesu
[14:59] <Dekkard> RobJ:  you need to sudo to your editor to enable rewriting system files
[14:59] <multiverse> Profan:  Isn't it ironic?  People requiring restricted driver frequently have to go to the store to purchase a cable?  :-D
[14:59] <RobJ> Profanephobia:  May i ask how i do that?
[15:00] <dasdasdas> is there a way that i can loggin whit root or su root something .. i know that ubuntu doesnt use those rights ...
[15:00] <Profanephobia> RobJ, do kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[15:00] <atlfalcons866> will e2undl work on ext3
[15:00] <dasdasdas> but is there i way that i can make my ubuntu use root rights whitout sudo
[15:00] <ata4ix> anybody knows?
[15:00] <Profanephobia> dasdasdas, this is highly not recommended
[15:00] <LjL-Temp> dasdasdas: why?
[15:00] <ata4ix> plz help me
[15:00] <nfusco> Profanephobia, I did already try doing that and I had trouble gettin my connection up, it could see ther connection,  does the gnome network manager capable of WPA?
[15:00] <dasdasdas> Profanephobia yah i know but can anyone help me enable ...?
[15:01] <ata4ix> i work hardly with this bug with 2 days and no result ^(

[15:01] <_slacker_> hi guys, can i download older versions of Ubuntu? I need 7.04 Server but in the site only is available 7.10
[15:01] <sipior> dasdasdas: sure, just do "sudo passwd"
[15:01] <LjL-Temp> ata4ix: the X server "crashes". how? what happens? what does it say? use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org for pasting errors
[15:01] <RobJ> Profanephobia:  Okay, done.
[15:02] <vagamentee> hi all
[15:02] <r3m0t> _slacker_: if you need them, yes. I'll get you the address
[15:02] <Profanephobia> nfusco, with some tweaks yes i believe so though i have not done so myself (still using WEP)
[15:02] <Pici> sipior: Don't reccomend that please.

[15:02] <r3m0t> _slacker_: well there you go
[15:02] <RobJ> Profanephobia:  Yeah
[15:02] <waakooo> hi the room
[15:02] <dasdasdas> more RTFM -.- great
[15:02] <ata4ix> LjL-Temp, he say Couldn't load XKB keymap, coludnt falling back to pre-XKB keymap
[15:02] <vagamentee> is there any possibility to have the agenda view from GoogleCalendar as my desktop background?
[15:02] <r3m0t> hi the waakooo
[15:02] <LjL-Temp> dasdasdas, is there a *reason* why you need root enabled?
[15:02] <Profanephobia> RobJ, ok you need to restart x server .. do so by ctrl+alt+backspace
[15:03] <Super-Sonic-Sega> ya I'm using this program that was pre-installed 'Ekiga' that lets you call phones numbers, but it won't call my cellphone or my house phone or anyone else's phone
[15:03] <Profanephobia> RobJ, this will log you out
[15:03] <LjL-Temp> dasdasdas: if so, please explain it.
[15:03] <r3m0t> vagamentee: so in other words, you want total awesomeness? ;-)
[15:03] <Super-Sonic-Sega> not even a dial tone
[15:03] <dasdasdas> LjL it`s for class my teacher asked me how can i enable root on ubuntu ..
[15:03] <Super-Sonic-Sega> O.o
[15:03] <nfusco> Has anyone successfully got Broadcom wifi card, up and running with gnome network manager with WPA?
[15:03] <Pici> Super-Sonic-Sega: Ekiga is for calling 'sip' numbers, i.e: voip.
[15:03] <Super-Sonic-Sega> ok..
[15:03] <LjL-Temp> Super-Sonic-Sega, ekiga doesn't let you call real phone numbers unless you sign up with some provider that lets you do that.
[15:03] <Super-Sonic-Sega> then how do I call real phone numbers
[15:03] <vagamentee> r3m0t: kind of... ;-)
[15:03] <Super-Sonic-Sega> ok..
[15:04] <Super-Sonic-Sega> I have verizon
[15:04] <Super-Sonic-Sega> phone and internet lol
[15:04] <LjL-Temp> Super-Sonic-Sega: you sign up with a SIP provider that offers that service. maybe the Ekiga service itself can do that
[15:04] <Profanephobia> nfusco, this should help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[15:04] <LjL-Temp> Super-Sonic-Sega: i don't think that's relevant
[15:04] <Super-Sonic-Sega> can I not call people if I'm using a DSL modem not a dial up modem
[15:04] <Ayabara> I'm on Ubuntu but use a number of KDE applications. How can I adjust the fonts in them?
[15:04] <LjL-Temp> Super-Sonic-Sega: www.freecall.com (and others from the same "consortium" or whatever) allow you to do *free* calls to some countries (landline phones only), limited in time
[15:05] <waakooo> between restricted and free ati drivers which should i choose for best perfomance?
[15:05] <livingdaylight> Guys: MY MOUSY IS DRAGGGING??
[15:05] <LjL-Temp> Super-Sonic-Sega, i don't really see what the modem has to do with anything...?
[15:05] <livingdaylight> sorry
[15:05] <Profanephobia> Ayabara, start up kcontrol and adjust the settings in Appearance and Themes-->Fonts
[15:05] <ata4ix> LjL-Temp, noi deas?
[15:05] <livingdaylight> if my mousy is dragging is it means that my ram is being sucked up by something else?
[15:06] <omar_> Guys I just installed emerald, but I still don't know how to make the windows transparent
[15:06] <Pici> Super-Sonic-Sega: Ekiga is used for making internet phone calls, it has nothing to do with what phone service you have in your house.
[15:06] <Super-Sonic-Sega> well  dial up uses phone lines and DSL uses ethernet lol
[15:06] <vagamentee> no chanche at all?
[15:06] <Super-Sonic-Sega> so I thought it would be different
[15:06] <Profanephobia> Super-Sonic-Sega, DSL also uses phone lines
[15:06] <Ayabara> Profanephobia: thanks
[15:06] <Profanephobia> Ayabara, np
[15:07] <waakooo> between restricted and free ati drivers which should i choose for best perfomance?
[15:07] <yellabs> hello all
[15:07] <livingdaylight> Ayabara: how youuuu doin?
[15:07] <livingdaylight> what is the meaning when my mousy is dragging?
[15:07] <r3m0t> vagamentee: I found a KDE solution... so probably no
[15:07] <Dekkard> only after the phone line
[15:07] <_slacker_> There's no 7.04 version in the old-releases? :(
[15:07] <yellabs> planet pinguin racer crashes on gutsy, do you all have this problem, any one know whats causing it?
[15:07] <r3m0t> waakooo: looks like nobody knows... why not experiment?
[15:07] <multiverse> Where is a good source for Ubunutu educational software for children?  I have a 6 year old that I want to have some software available for.
[15:07] <Ayabara> livingdaylight: doin fine :-)
[15:07] <vagamentee> r3m0t link please...
[15:07] <waakooo> ok...
[15:07] <r3m0t> multiverse: kcompris, tuxpaint?
[15:08] <multiverse> I am using tuxpaint.  Nice bit of software.
[15:08] <multiverse> What is kcompris?
[15:08] <livingdaylight> Ayabara: cool, that make me feel better; coz we are what we all are ;)
[15:08] <r3m0t> vagamentee:  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-493417.html
[15:08] <r3m0t> sorry, gcompris
[15:08] <yellabs> planet pinguin racer crashes on gutsy, do you all have this problem, any one know whats causing it?
[15:08] <Profanephobia> multiverse, http://www.edubuntu.org/
[15:08] <Pici> !edubuntu | multiverse check this out
[15:08] <ubotu> multiverse check this out: Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org
[15:08] <Profanephobia> Pici, beat you to it :)
[15:08] <LjL> Super-Sonic-Sega: you're confusing things i suspect. it's true that a so called "voice modem" (standard modem, not ADSL) allows you to do phonecalls, but it does *not* do them from the Internet, it just calls the number via the normal analog line.
[15:09] <LjL> Super-Sonic-Sega: if you have a DSL modem, that's not possible, as a DSL modem is just a totally different thing.
[15:09] <Pici> multiverse: The edubuntu packages are in the main ubuntu repositories, so you can install it without dual booting, etc.
[15:09] <multiverse> I don't want to install Edubuntu because I need the computer for other things.  But I suppose I could create a virtual guest of Edubuntu.
[15:09] <multiverse> Oh
[15:09] <dasdasdas> guys what`s Bcast meen in ifconfig
[15:09] <Pici> dasdasdas: broadcast
[15:09] <livingdaylight> what is meaniong when mouse is dragging?
[15:09] <loguser1> iam in the middle of apt-get download.       can i stop it and download an other app and then again resume the previous downloadings ?
[15:09] <multiverse> Where do I find a list of packages?
[15:09] <LjL> Super-Sonic-Sega: Ekiga, on the other hand, is something that does "voice over Internet", and it does it over the Internet no matter whether you're on a standard modem or an ADSL one, or anything else
[15:09] <LjL> Super-Sonic-Sega: it simply doesn't use your standard phone line at all
[15:10] <livingdaylight> loguser1: why wanna do dat?
[15:10] <Profanephobia> RobJ, did it work?
[15:10] <Pici> loguser1: If its downloading, *NOT* installing, you can kill it, it should ersume when its done.
[15:10] <diff> can someone correct me if I'm worng: is php a 'type' of server side
[15:10] <diff>           include?  I thought it would be since it's the server that is
[15:10] <livingdaylight> loguser1: one ting at a time, yesh?
[15:10] <diff> running the php interpreter
[15:10] <RobJ> Profanephobia: Nope. I now have a blank msdos-style screen, in which i can input..  stuff
[15:10] <Profanephobia> diff, php is server side yes
[15:10] <LjL> multiverse: the package "edubuntu-desktop" will install the edubuntu stuff
[15:11] <livingdaylight> anyone use Gos?
[15:11] <diff> Profanephobia: thanks
[15:11] <Super-Sonic-Sega> so id the program I get from freecall.com really free or not becuase it's starting to get confusing
[15:11] <loguser1> Pic livingdaylight but it will resume from where it was intrupted?
[15:11] <Profanephobia> RobJ, ok then it didnt work.. do kdesu mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[15:11] <loguser1> when i press the same command again?
[15:11] <LjL> dasdasdas: tell your teacher that root can be enabled by simply setting a password for it, but there is no valid reason to, as Ubuntu is designed to use sudo, and "sudo -i" allows you to log into a standard root shell.
[15:11] <dasdasdas> anyone know how can i activate the eth0 in the command line , i used (ifconfig eth0 192.168.88.250 netmask 255.255.255.0 UP) and it doesnt work
[15:11] <r3m0t> loguser1: yes it will resume
[15:11] <Pici> er
[15:12] <livingdaylight> loguser1: nein
[15:12] <loguser1> nein?
[15:12] <livingdaylight> r3m0t: nein
[15:12] <Super-Sonic-Sega> so is the program I get from freecall.com really free or not becuase it's starting to get confusing
[15:12] <dasdasdas> :|
[15:12] <livingdaylight> r3m0t: if killing it then dead, must resurrect, ja?
[15:12] <multiverse> LjL:  will that change the state of my everyday usage?  Does it change the kernel or desktop in any way?
[15:12] <Pici> dasdasdas: sorry about that, wrong key.
[15:12] <dasdasdas> np
[15:12] <RobJ> Profanephobia: I've done that, its just given me a new line?  has it worked
[15:12] <loguser1> how to intrupt?
[15:12] <dasdasdas> so there is no way that i can activate eth0 in the command line?
[15:13] <Profanephobia> RobJ, do kdesu startx and see
[15:13] <RobJ> hmm...   another new line?
[15:13] <LjL> multiverse: it just adds the edubuntu packages. if you do it in a virtual machine anyway, there really would be no problem
[15:13] <CochiseIRL> dasdasdas, have you tried sudo ifup eth0
[15:13] <r3m0t> Super-Sonic-Sega: if you don't give them any billing information, they can't charge you anything. it looks free to me
[15:13] <dasdasdas> i know that UP doesnt activate the interface...
[15:13] <Profanephobia> RobJ, wait it is a terminal yes? oem$
[15:13] <dasdasdas> *does
[15:14] <Super-Sonic-Sega> well the window that pops up where I dign up is taking rlyl ong to load
[15:14] <RobJ> Profanephobia: I don't think so, its just a blank black screen.
[15:14] <erUSUL> dasdasdas: sudo {ifconfig|ip link|if(up|down)|iwconfig|whatever|etc} eth0 [OPTIONS]
[15:14] <r3m0t> Super-Sonic-Sega: well, they never guaranteed you it would work :-) I guess it doesn't work
[15:14] <Super-Sonic-Sega> what's north americas country code
[15:14] <brett> 0 i think
[15:14] <brett> or is it 1?
[15:14] <brett> hmm maybe 1
[15:14] <mavi-> 01
[15:14] <Super-Sonic-Sega> 4 digit -.-
[15:14] <livingdaylight> 1
[15:14] <Pici> Super-Sonic-Sega: north america is a continent, not a country

[15:15] <Super-Sonic-Sega> ok then usa w/e
[15:15] <jacob> ...?
[15:15] <Profanephobia> RobJ, ok, r u on another computer right now? if so restart that computer
[15:15] <Super-Sonic-Sega> it's a 4 digit country code for phone #'s
[15:15] <brett> I wonder why in ubuntu my sound is loud on this laptop
[15:15] <brett> but on xp its low as balls
[15:15] <kazol3> I have a problem with ndiswrapper and wifi-when I reboot my computer, the connection gets lost. Administration-Network shows me the correct encryption protocol (WPA) and key, but for it to work I have to erase the key and enter it again each time I start the computer.
[15:15] <brett> unless I use vlc
[15:15] <Super-Sonic-Sega> put the volume down
[15:15] <Profanephobia> RobJ, and start it in recovery mode from the grub menu at boot
[15:15] <LjL> Super-Sonic-Sega, 1 is the country code for both the US and Canada as far as i'm aware
[15:16] <Super-Sonic-Sega> k
[15:16] <RobJ> Profanephobia: How? It just boots straight to ubuntu
[15:16] <colchaodemola> hey guys , i have a problem , after those updates from yesterday [gnome-panel related] my update-notifier icon just disappeared
[15:16] <colchaodemola> any ideas ?
[15:16] <jacob> i need help with gparted, trying to add a secondary OS
[15:16] <erUSUL> jacob: what type of help? you need a new partition?
[15:17] <GuHHH> can anyone help me with a simple question about dns configuration? what means exactly the 'forward only' option?  I'm trying to set a dns cache server.
[15:17] <fiXXXerMe1> I'm trying to install 7.10 64bit desktop on my new desktop PC but when I choose install ubuntu from the boot menu, my screen goes black and says "no signal" - I neven tried safe graphics mode and got the same thing.
[15:17] <Profanephobia> RobJ, right before you see the ubuntu splash screen hit like esc when you see grub
[15:17] <RobJ> okay...
[15:17] <jacob> erUSUL: i'm trying to split my harddrive in half to install opensuse on the other side of the partition
[15:17] <kazol3> Does libcssdvd (or something like that) remove and emulate DVD regions?
[15:18] <erUSUL> jacob: is the disk empty?
[15:18] <ansgar> Hi!  I have a problem with debmirror: It will download the Release files just fine, but it won't download any packages :(  Does anybody have an idea what might be a problem?
[15:18] <Artimus> Grub isn't recognizing "pci=biosirq".  At boot, it says "PCI: unknown option 'biosirq'".  I know this works, I've been using it for years.  I had this problem before, I think I switched to lilo to fix it.  Any ideas?  I'm rather fond of grub now.
[15:18] <jacob> erUSUL: what do you mean by that? i have ubuntu installed w/ some important files that i backed up
[15:19] <jacob> erUSUL: i just installed gparted but i don't know what to do with it
[15:19] <erUSUL> jacob: just choose the partition (right click) and choose resize from the drop down menu
[15:19] <luciano_> hello guys! i have a problem!! i cant see my upper window bar!! the one that says the title and have the 3 buttons (maximize, minimize, close)! does anybody knows how to fix that? i'm using ubuntu 7.10
[15:20] <erUSUL> jacob: if you have enough free space that should just work (tm). You have to do it from a livecd if what you are touching is your root partition as it has to be umounted
[15:21] <erUSUL> Artimus: maybe newer kernels have deprecated the option
[15:21] <ganeshhegde> in appearance->visual effects  its none...if i click on normal it says composite extension is not available...what it mean?
[15:21] <dasdasdas> er4z0r try`d sudo if up... :|
[15:21] <misfitx7> im pretty sure i linked something improperly, no when i i look at one of my mounted drives i see the contents of my root directory, im not really sure what i did, i was hoping someone here could give me a push in the direction of investigating and solving this problem
[15:21] <jacob> erUSUL: resize is disabled
[15:21] <Profanephobia> RobJ, any luck so far
[15:21] <erUSUL> jacob: is becouse it is mounted... do the job from the ubuntu livcd
[15:21] <luciano_> hello guys! i have a problem!! i cant see my upper window bar!! the one that says the title and have the 3 buttons (maximize, minimize, close)! does anybody knows how to fix that? i'm using ubuntu 7.10
[15:21] <Profanephobia> luciano_, do you have compiz enabled?
[15:21] <anzan> hi, luciano.
[15:22] <Artimus> erUSUL: I guess I'll have to install lilo then.
[15:22] <luciano_> yes i have
[15:22] <jacob> do i have internet access from the ubuntu livcd?
[15:22] <Pici> dd
[15:22] <anzan> luciano, try this: just log back in with a new GNOME session.
[15:22] <colchaodemola> luciano_ try to run emerald --replace
[15:22] <Profanephobia> luciano_, if you disable it do they come back?

[15:22] <loguser1> dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[15:22] <jacob> erUSUL: ok, i'll get back to you when i get to the live cd
[15:22] <misfitx7> oh yeah, im running 7.10, and i mounted this drive while booted from a live cd, and it looks the way it should
[15:22] <Profanephobia> !paste | loguser1

[15:23] <dgjones> loguser1, have you got synaptic open at the same time as you're doing an apt command?
[15:23] <jacob> erUSUL: oh wiat, it doesn't come with konversation, does it?
[15:23] <RobJ> Profanephobia: =/   I have a terminal access i think? It says at the bottom of the screen, "root@ubuntu:~#"
[15:23] <loguser1> dgjones: no
[15:23] <erUSUL> Artimus: it is a 64 bit install? i see in kernel-parameters that the option only works on x86-32
[15:23] <jrdaigle1000> Hi Rob!
[15:23] <RobJ> Hey Justin.. pffft
[15:23] <luciano_> Profanephobia, yes it does
[15:23] <erUSUL> jacob: no, you have to use pidgin or install xchat
[15:23] <Profanephobia> RobJ, ok great now try, sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[15:24] <dgjones> loguser1, give it a few minutes and try again, could be your system was checking for updates at the time you ran the command
[15:24] <Profanephobia> luciano_, what driver are you using?
[15:24] <ganeshhegde> any one knw more abt desktop effects?
[15:24] <luciano_> nvidia
[15:24] <luciano_> Profanephobia, nvidia
[15:24] <colchaodemola> luciano_ run emerald --replace
[15:24] <loguser1> i crashed apt
[15:24] <Artimus> erUSUL: Yes, it is 64-bit.  I suppose that might be an issue.  Bummer, but thanks.  I'll switch to 32-bit Gutsy today.
[15:24] <luciano_> colchaodemola, run this on terminal?
[15:24] <RobJ> Profanephobia: Done, shall i try "kdesu startx" now?
[15:25] <ganeshhegde> Profanephobia:in appearance->visual effects  its none...if i click on normal it says composite extension is not available...what it mean?
[15:25] <Profanephobia> RobJ, yes
[15:25] <colchaodemola> luciano_  alt + f2
[15:25] <luciano_> colchaodemola, ok
[15:25] <RobJ> Profanephobia: "Cannot connect to X server"
[15:25] <luciano_> colchaodemola, what will happen if i run this?
[15:25] <colchaodemola> the bar should re appear
[15:25] <Profanephobia> RobJ, just restart it
[15:26] <RobJ> okay
[15:26] <luciano_> but the special effects will stay?
[15:26] <colchaodemola> luciano_ yep
[15:26] <Profanephobia> ganeshhegde, sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl
[15:26] <Profanephobia> ganeshhegde, then restart x
[15:26] <RobJ> Profanephobia: Normal mode this time?
[15:26] <luciano_> colchaodemola, didnt worked, dude!
[15:26] <Profanephobia> RobJ, yes
[15:26] <dgjones> loguser1, when did apt crash? before you ran the command, or the next time you ran the command, sounds like it locked the file and I'd restart to see if that cleared it (there is probably a way to clear the liock without restarting, but I don't know what it is)
[15:26] <colchaodemola> luciano_  try metacity --replace
[15:27] <luciano_> well... it worked, but the special effects are gone :/
[15:27] <erUSUL> Artimus: what problems do you experience without that parameter? (just curiosity)
[15:28] <colchaodemola> run emerald --replace in a terminal and see what the problem is
[15:29] <Super-Sonic-Sega> I'm trying to run one of my own programs and it says permission denied
[15:29] <Super-Sonic-Sega> wtf
[15:29] <K-mille> hi guys... I can't have sounds work correctly on my machine...
[15:29] <fevel> im having trouble with tvout...it eats up the right part of the screen
[15:29] <fevel> can someone help me fix this issue?
[15:29] <K-mille> Super-Sonic-Sega> are your files executable?
[15:29] <Super-Sonic-Sega> ya
[15:29] <Super-Sonic-Sega> it's a C program
[15:30] <Profanephobia> ganeshhegde, did it work?
[15:30] <motin_0> in htop I very often see the cpu bar being filled up 100%, but often more than half the length is colored in read - how do I see which processes is causing this? the list seem only to show the "green" cpu usage...
[15:30] <K-mille> Super-Sonic-Sega>  the file you obtained after you compiled it, is it executable?
[15:30] <Super-Sonic-Sega> IDK
[15:31] <Super-Sonic-Sega> Its icon is a sideways square with gears on it
[15:31] <Super-Sonic-Sega> w/e
[15:31] <ganeshhegde> Profanephobia:restart x command not found!!
[15:31] <K-mille> Super-Sonic-Sega>  ls -l in your directory
[15:31] <RobJ> Profanephobia: its booted. :)
[15:32] <LjL> Super-Sonic-Sega, the program you get at freecall.com is free and Windows-only. it might run under WINE. you only really need it to sign up - after you've signed up, you can follow the instructions at the "SIP" link on freecall.com in order to configure Ekiga, or some other SIP client, to use the service
[15:32] <Super-Sonic-Sega> I'm not using wine
[15:32] <Profanephobia> ganeshhegde, lol no i meant to restart x... do ctrl+alt+backspace
[15:32] <Super-Sonic-Sega> I mean im not using the thing
[15:32] <erUSUL> motin_0: the list show all processes sorted by cpu usage the ones at the TOP (hint, hint ;)) are the ones eating CPU
[15:32] <Super-Sonic-Sega> freecall
[15:32] <RobJ> Profanephobia: I'm going to return to Kubuntu's IRC...    be back in a minute...
[15:32] <ganeshhegde> Profanephobia:oh....k....
[15:32] <Profanephobia> RobJ, k
[15:32] <Profanephobia> ganeshhegde, dont worry about it, my fault
[15:33] <Profanephobia> ganeshhegde, this wil llog you out
[15:33] <Super-Sonic-Sega> and one of my .wav files just turned itself into silence by itself
[15:33] <motin_0> erUSUL: yes of course, but the sum of all processes cpu usages is only about 30% when the actual usage (red bar) is at 100%

[15:33] <K-mille> I have a problem with my sound mixing... only one sound... seems like _no_ mixing is done...
[15:33] <zombie_monkey> I want to be able to use utf-8 in Terminal, and I installed luit; but it seem to me cleaner solution would be to change my locale to an utf-8 one, if that would do the job
[15:33] <zombie_monkey> hwo do I do that
[15:33] <Super-Sonic-Sega> ctrl-w -.- lol jk
[15:33] <erUSUL> motin_0: the list is long... scroll down
[15:33] <zombie_monkey> and would it work
[15:34] <K-mille> gnome-applet won't work either... tried to uninstall it (with --purge) and then reinstall, no improvment...
[15:34] <motin_0> erUSUL: the sum of ALL the processes is only what is shown in top or in green in htop - I am wondering what is causing the red 100% bar
[15:34] <Artimus> erUSUL: Sorry, I was away for a minute.  Anyway, nvidia cards crash my box.  The dreaded "XiD" errors, if you've heard of them.  It means X dies.  It's my motherboard, the cards are fine.  pci=biosirq and noapic prevent the crashes.
[15:34] <RobJ-2> I'm back, I think my other name has ghost'd
[15:34] <Profanephobia> zombie_monkey, open terminal menu terminal -> set character encoding -> add/ remove locale
[15:36] <erUSUL> Artimus: :S well then it seems that you will have to reinstall 32 bit...

[15:36] <zombie_monkey> Profanephobia: I'm actually using xubuntu, and its terminal application, Terminal has only "set title" "reset" and "reset and clear" in the terminal menu; I ddin't find character encoding or locale options anywhere
[15:37] <RobJ-2> Profanephobie, What do i do next?
[15:37] <Artimus> erUSUL: I was planning to anyway for a few other reasons.  biosirq is mandatory for any sort of performance what-so-ever.  Otherwise I have to disable AGP Acceleration :P
[15:37] <RobJ-2> Profanephobia, What do i do next?
[15:37] <ganeshhegd1> The Xgl server will now be started automatically next time you login.

[15:45] <erUSUL> sadmin1: i don't i offered two ways of killing processes given a part of the name
[15:45] <B4S3M> how can i have Verilogger on ubuntu ... ?
[15:45] <Pici> B4S3M: What is verilogger?
[15:45] <Profanephobia> B4S3M, is that biometrics?
[15:45] <MI123645> i heard that 7.10 was buggy? is this true?
[15:46] <jacob> erUSUL without applying the changes i've made, how do i install opensuse to the new partition
[15:46] <sadmin1> wait let me check
[15:46] <beengone> After update on old laptop:
[15:46] <beengone> starting up *string of zeros* acpi bios age 1999 fails cuttof 2000 acpi = force is required to enable acpi

[15:46] <B4S3M> its a tool ... we use it in Digital logic design
[15:46] <Pici> MI123645: Some people have encountered problems, and some people have no had any issues.
[15:46] <Profanephobia> B4S3M, is it a windows app/
[15:46] <MI123645> is it possible to install ubuntu to an external drive?
[15:46] <fachex> my sound card  (Sound Blaster Audigy) worked great in 7.04, now with 7.10 it appears to be working but...no sound.
[15:46] <B4S3M> yea i know ... cant run it on wine
[15:46] <Profanephobia> MI123645, it all depends on the system
[15:47] <Profanephobia> MI123645, yes
[15:47] <erUSUL> jacob: well i guess that the opensuse installer will guide you through the process. i never installed OS myself so dunno...
[15:47] <DanRaider> I need help with setup of my wireless usb device.. anyone?
[15:47] <B4S3M> and cant find and equivalent :S
[15:47] <Profanephobia> B4S3M, so youve already checked the wine app database?
[15:47] <MI123645> i might do that, 7.10 is nearly impossible to install on my computer
[15:47] <erUSUL> jacob: just make sure you tell the instaler the right partition to use
[15:47] <fachex> anyone here with a soundblaster audigy?
[15:47] <DanRaider> Since i uninstalled network manager i cant get it to run
[15:47] <B4S3M> Profanephobia: where can i chk it ?

[15:48] <dasdasdas> fachex yah me
[15:48] <fachex> hi!! dasdasdas!!
[15:48] <dasdasdas> :P
[15:48] <dasdasdas> hey
[15:48] <fachex> is it working with 7.10?
[15:48] <dasdasdas> yah
[15:48] <fachex> dang!
[15:48] <dasdasdas> if you disable the one that you have onboard
[15:48] <dasdasdas> :)
[15:48] <fachex> I don't know why I don't have sound
[15:49] <fachex> I did...it's disabled
[15:49] <boris_> hi
[15:49] <boris_> i was using gnomebaker to burn the iso to the cd, but it failed and now i cant get my cd out
[15:49] <sadmin1> erUSUL  this is incomplete ps -ef | awk '/squid/ {print $1}' | xargs  kill -9
[15:49] <fachex> I had zero problem with 7.04
[15:49] <dasdasdas> well first disable the one onboard from the bios :)
[15:49] <jacob> erUSUL: thank you very much, i luv you man
[15:49] <sadmin1> where is pid to kill
[15:49] <fachex> I did..
[15:49] <jacob> erUSUL lol
[15:49] <fachex> it's disabled in the bios
[15:49] <erUSUL> sadmin1: no problem ;)
[15:49] <MI123645> although, i am curious as to what this error means: something about a busy box built in shell and an error showing initrames ata5.00 revalidation failed (errno=-5)
[15:49] <boris_> is there anything i can do , except to tear apart my comp ?
[15:49] <sadmin1> what to do
[15:49] <dasdasdas> fachex i disables that option and then instaled ubuntu and it worked fine for me at least
[15:49] <Profanephobia> boris_, do you see where the cd is mounted? can you right click the icon and select eject?
[15:49] <fachex> I did that, it was disabled
[15:50] <fachex> because I had 7.04 before
[15:50] <Profanephobia> MI123645, and this occurs when?
[15:50] <fachex> it shows like everything is fine..
[15:50] <dasdasdas> :-??
[15:50] <fachex> no errors
[15:50] <boris_> Profanephobia: No, i dont see any icon
[15:50] <dasdasdas> did instalat 7.04 and it worked
[15:50] <MI123645> when im installing ubuntu, and i turn off acpi, this error appears
[15:50] <fachex> I am playing things and I don't get any error, but no sound..
[15:50] <dasdasdas> fachex did you check the sound volume? :)
[15:50] <B4S3M> Profanephobia: i cant find it in the wine database :S
[15:50] <erUSUL> sadmin1: i used ps ax not ps -ef the options change the output of ps and my "ad hoc" parsing (with awk) breaks
[15:50] <fachex> No sound even with the LIVE CD
[15:50] <ubuntu-users> hi how can i see another attached screen in my pc a friend of mine is in logged in my box how can i see what is he doing
[15:50] <fachex> hahah
[15:50] <boris_> Profanephobia: but the red light that means something is going on is shining
[15:51] <dasdasdas> ?
[15:51] <Profanephobia> B4S3M, and youve tried installing yourself?
[15:51] <dasdasdas> :)
[15:51] <fachex> yes, because if I put the live CD of ELIVE or other distro, it works
[15:51] <Profanephobia> boris_, maybe just restart?
[15:51] <MI123645> Profanephobia: do you know that error?
[15:51] <B4S3M> yea ... finished installation ... but cudn`t run it
[15:51] <sadmin1> ps -ax | awk '/squid/ {print $1}' | xargs  kill -9
[15:51] <sadmin1> Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
[15:51] <Profanephobia> MI123645, no
[15:51] <dasdasdas> fachex so now you have sound :)
[15:51] <fachex> If I put the live CD of 7.04 it works
[15:51] <Sonderblade> why doesn't apitude purge emacs remove /etc/emacs?
[15:51] <MI123645> ok
[15:51] <fachex> no, I don't
[15:51] <boris_> Profanephobia: ok ill try
[15:51] <Profanephobia> B4S3M, how did you try to run it
[15:51] <fachex> in 7.10
[15:51] <fachex> I have sound with other distros..
[15:51] <dasdasdas> wierd
[15:51] <ubuntu-users> hi how can i see another attached screen in my pc a friend of mine is in logged in my box how can i see what is he doing

[15:52] <beengone> does anyone know anything about the following errors?
[15:52] <fachex> I know..
[15:52] <beengone> ath-ftfqr61
[15:52] <beengone> oops...

[15:52] <B4S3M> right-clicked the Verilogger icon ... open with wine .. finished the installation ... but when i click the verilogger icon just nothing happens
[15:52] <Pici> sadmin1: Why not use pkill, instead of your long ps/xargs/kill thing
[15:52] <erUSUL> sadmin1: i have checked and works with both set of options
[15:53] <sadmin1> pkill is not working
[15:53] <sadmin1> i dont know why
[15:53] <fachex> it looks like everything works, that's the wierdest part!
[15:53] <sadmin1> can u rewite the command again plz
[15:53] <sila> server /irc.freenode.net
[15:53] <Pici> !freenode | sila
[15:53] <ubotu> sila: freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml
[15:53] <fachex> is there any way that I can copy the settings form the LIVE CD of 7.04 and use it in 7.10?
[15:53] <LjL> sila: /server irc.freenode.net - and anyway you're on freenode already :)
[15:53] <Profanephobia> B4S3M, in terminal cd into your wine drive program files ~/.wine/drive_c/program_files i think then do sudo wine app_name_here.exe
[15:54] <beengone> i have a machine I need to get running.  Posted twice to the forums and tried here.  What other options are there?  No one seems to help.  (Though linux had a great support community...)
[15:54] <fachex> *dasdasdas ?
[15:54] <erUSUL> sadmin1: ps ef | awk '/sleep/ {print $1}' | xargs kill -9    (i'm using sleep as a test victim)
[15:54] <dasdasdas> can anyone help me whit some configs on eth0 seems that i cant make my internet to work and used the ifconfig eth0 ip netmask UP command
[15:54] <MI123645> is it possible to install ubuntu to an external drive, then copy it to another drive and boot it from that drive i just moved it to?
[15:54] <Profanephobia> beengone, this happens after you upgraded to .. gutsy?
[15:54] <ALLBLACKS> i have a question i just got an Hp Proliant DL360 and i can not install ubuntu on it because of the smart array and because ubuntu it does not see the hdd SCSI
[15:54] <Pici> erUSUL: is there a reason you're using that command sequence instead of using pkill?
[15:54] <Acxty> Hi, had someone use smstools?
[15:54] <beengone> 7.10, whatever tht is.
[15:54] <Profanephobia> MI123645, does your BIOS support booting from USB?
[15:54] <fachex> were is the sound configuration file in Ubuntu 7.10????
[15:54] <MI123645> Profanephobia: yes
[15:55] <LjL> erUSUL: awaking the sleeping dog are you? :P
[15:55] <fachex> where is the actual file?
[15:55] <fachex> I don't see any alsa.conf
[15:55] <MI123645> Profanephobia: I'm hoping to use a windows box to copy the OS from one drive to another
[15:55] <erUSUL> Pici: sadmin1 said killall doesn't worked for her... and have said you that pkill doesn't either
[15:55] <fachex> were is the sound configuration file in Ubuntu 7.10????
[15:55] <fachex> where is the actual file?
[15:56] <fachex> I don't see any alsa.conf
[15:56] <Profanephobia> MI123645, so start your computer with the live cd then install it to the external by telling gparted where you want it
[15:56] <erUSUL> LjL: ;) yes something like that
[15:56] <Profanephobia> MI123645, it should find the external and allow to format it anyway you like
[15:56] <MI123645> Profanephobia: good idea

[16:04] <Mark761966> I want a dock
[16:04] <Profanephobia> clay__, yes the real time kernel has its problems
[16:04] <erUSUL> clay__: boot with the old (default kernel) it should be still aviable on the grub menu
[16:05] <Profanephobia> !simdock | Mark761966
[16:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about simdock - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:05] <Profanephobia> shoot

[16:05] <erUSUL> !info awn
[16:05] <ubotu> Package awn does not exist in gutsy
[16:05] <mavi-> Mark761966: try avant-window-navigator
[16:05] <clay__> ah..i forgot about the grub menu.  i probably didn't notice it while i was waiting for the system to reboot.   but i had used jackd before with some type of realtime module and it worked.  last i remember there  was something about ulimits
[16:05] <Mark761966> OSX like dock mavi
[16:05] <mavi-> yeah
[16:05] <Profanephobia> Mark761966, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=536461

[16:06] <Profanephobia> Mark761966, that link i sent you has a great howto for an easy mac like dock
[16:06] <boris_> hi
[16:07] <Mark761966> I look it over
[16:07] <boris_> ubuntu sometimes checks root filesystem, but i dont see progress nor any signal that it's happening, so it seems like system halted
[16:07] <boris_> how can i correct it ? also, i was using StartUp-Manager
[16:07] <sadmin1> hey i have ubuntu machine and printer is attached to winxp machine its not network printer
[16:07] <clay__> is there any way other than using linux-rt to use jackd without horrid xruns?
[16:07] <sadmin1> any idea how i send ubuntu to print docs
[16:08] <mavi-> share printer from windows
[16:08] <mavi-> add samba-printer to ubuntu
[16:08] <Profanephobia> boris_, startup-manager is known to cause many problems
[16:08] <Mercury> Urgh, I'm having the hardest time tracking down how to do this at install time.
[16:08] <boris_> Profanephobia: can i somehow revert what it did and delete it ?
[16:08] <Profanephobia> clay__, i dont believe so ... i had the same predicament myself
[16:08] <Mercury> I'm installing Gutsy, I want encrypted root and swap, LUKS is fine with me.  Instead of a passphrase, I want to use a keyfile.
[16:09] <Profanephobia> boris_, well what all did you do ?
[16:09] <Mercury> To make it more interesting, I want the keyfile to be in a passphrase protected loopfs on a USB flash drive.
[16:09] <boris_> Profanephobia:  well i changed a few things, like show text during boot
[16:09] <Mercury> But right now, I'd just settle for the bloody keyfile.
[16:09] <clay__> i just want to see ardour so badly now that there's a v2 package.
[16:09] <clay__> i need to decide whether ubuntu will suffice as my media OS, or whether i need to shell out for a mac.
[16:10] <Mark761966> Apparently simdock isn't available for Gutsy
[16:10] <erUSUL> clay__: maybe you should try "ubuntu studio"
[16:10] <Hex_101> im getting a connection problem with bg.archive.ubuntu.com, a time out, when i try to install anything from apt..how can i fix?
[16:11] <sheirys> .omnitel.net 6667
[16:11] <Hex_101> *gb
[16:11] <The-Compiler> Hi
[16:11] <DShepherd> Hex_101, select another source
[16:11] <Hex_101> "Could not resolve bg.archive.ubuntu.com"
[16:11] <Hex_101> DShepherd: how would i do that?
[16:11] <clay__> erUSUL, oh yes, i had heard about that.  i guess i should.  do i just change instances of "gutsy" to "studio"  in apt-get conf?
[16:12] <Hex_101> or security.ubuntu.com for that matter
[16:12] <DShepherd> Hex_101, system -- admin... -- Software sources. Download from .. choose other ,, then Select Best Server
[16:13] <WorkingOnWise> where is there a clear explaination of where all the settings are that were in fstab?
[16:13] <Pici> !fstab | WorkingOnWise
[16:13] <ubotu> WorkingOnWise: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[16:13] <erUSUL> clay__: i do not think that would work without problems...
[16:13] <m13> hello
[16:13] <erUSUL> WorkingOnWise: also in the man page for mount
[16:14] <wild_oscar> can anyone help me remove the "grey out window" in ubuntu with xgl?
[16:14] <Pici> clay__: The ubuntustudio packages are in the regular Ubuntu repositories.  But you'll get the best effect if you just install from scratch. see !ubuntustudio
[16:14] <portek> Siema. :)
[16:14] <wild_oscar> now and again (like now) I get the window stuck in grey
[16:14] <sipior> WorkingOnWise: man fstab
[16:14] <SlowWhoop> can anyone help me with my sound in ubuntu? it is too soft!!
[16:14] <wild_oscar> even after it is back active
[16:14] <WorkingOnWise> oops...wrong item.
[16:14] <wild_oscar> right now I have a working Eclipse window opened...in black and white
[16:14] <awilkins> Hi there, can you put a loopback file "casper-rw" in a FAT32 filesystem and have it work?
[16:14] <Hex_101> DShepherd: i only get Servier for United Kingdom, Main Server, And other, i presume i need to click Main Server?
[16:15] <DShepherd> Hex_101, no click on other..
[16:15] <DShepherd> Hex_101, or choose other rather..
[16:15] <Hex_101> its testing now.
[16:16] <Hex_101> ah. ip address conflict
[16:16] <Kalamarencu> how can I see which software modules have been installed lately?
[16:16] <MilitantPotato> hey Kala
[16:17] <Kalamarencu> hey MilitantPotato - is that you ?
[16:17] <Kalamarencu> heeyyy mann
[16:17] <MilitantPotato> hey :)
[16:17] <Kalamarencu> how is it going?
[16:17] <Kalamarencu> :)
[16:17] <MilitantPotato> Get that working?
[16:17] <Kalamarencu> long time
[16:17] <Kalamarencu> yeah
[16:17] <Profanephobia> !o4o | Kalamarencu, MilitantPotato
[16:17] <Kalamarencu> I have it at work and at home
[16:17] <ubotu> Kalamarencu, MilitantPotato: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which always turn into flamewars: war, race, religion, politics (unless related to software licencing), gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, removing of oneself from the planet (except by space or time travel) are not for here, perhaps #off-topic or ##politics.

[16:17] <Mark761966> Ookay. I have simdock
[16:18] <Kalamarencu> heh ?
[16:18] <Pici> Profanephobia: ?
[16:18] <Kalamarencu> what ?
[16:18] <Profanephobia> sorry i didnt mean to do that
[16:18] <Kalamarencu> uh ok
[16:18] <Profanephobia> i mean to respond to your question
[16:18] <MilitantPotato> what does o4o stand for?
[16:18] <sethk> Kalamarencu, use #ubuntu-offtopic for stuff not allowed on #ubuntu
[16:18] <Kalamarencu> err ok
[16:18] <Profanephobia> Kalamarencu, check your dpkg log
[16:18] <kazol3> Can someone help me with the GNOME network manager? Every time I boot the computer I have to type in my WPA key.
[16:18] <kazol3> It retains all the info but it doesn't work until I retype the key and click OK.
[16:18] <Kalamarencu> Profanephobia: how do I do that ?
[16:19] <sethk> Kalamarencu, you can do a listing in /lib/modules sorted in date order
[16:19] <Kalamarencu> !dpkg
[16:19] <ubotu> dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[16:19] <Kalamarencu> ok
[16:19] <Profanephobia> or that
[16:19] <MilitantPotato> Kalamarencu: No
[16:19] <MilitantPotato> whoops
[16:19] <MilitantPotato> /var/log/dpkg.log
[16:19] <WorkingOnWise> there was a single file in linux proper that held all kinda of settings, including how many terminals were spawned now that file has been broke up into several files in Ubuntu called inittab. I need info on what is where that was in this file.
[16:20] <MilitantPotato> Kalamarencu: locate dpkg | grep .log
[16:20] <Kalamarencu> ok MilitantPotato :) WIll do that
[16:20]  * osxdude|desktop sighs
[16:20] <erUSUL> WorkingOnWise: /etc/event.d/tty*
[16:20] <piffa> bella
[16:20] <osxdude|desktop> What is the password to change a password???
[16:20] <swarm> anyone here mod the actiontec gt701 dsl modem?
[16:20] <boris_> hi
[16:20] <MilitantPotato> I enabled logging in /etc/default/bootlogd but it's still not loging my boot, have I missed something?
[16:20] <boris_> ive burned opensuse kde4 live iso to the cd and when i restart my computer, it just normally boots ubuntu
[16:21] <Profanephobia> osxdude|desktop, do what now? what are you trying to do
[16:21] <sethk> osxdude|desktop, the current password.  If you are using sudo, it's _your_ password, not the password for the account being changed (there will be a separate prompt for that one)
[16:21] <erUSUL> osxdude|desktop: your password or someone else's?
[16:21] <MilitantPotato> boris_: open bios and change the boot oder
[16:21] <MilitantPotato> order*
[16:21] <Profanephobia> boris_, in your BIOS do you have it set to boot from CD-Rom
[16:21] <pestilence> is it possible to save the images that are embedded into a openoffice writer document to a file?
[16:21] <IrishDave> hey, i'm trying to get my 5 button logitech laser mouse working with gutsy and so far i have failed does anyone have any tips?
[16:21] <boris_> Profanephobia:  how do i open BIOS ?
[16:22] <boris_> Profanephobia:  i gotta press DEL button during startup ?
[16:22] <Chaves> boris_: try del, or esq...
[16:22] <MilitantPotato> boris_: ususally F2 or delete unless you're using a compaq or other proprietary PC, I'd google bios help on your motherboard
[16:22] <IrishDave> boris_, usually F2
[16:22] <Profanephobia> boris_, when the computer is starting youll see a screen with the logo or name of the computer manufacturer hit what ever button needed to enter setup
[16:22] <MilitantPotato> or esc
[16:22] <boris_> ok thanks
[16:22] <ikonia> boris_: when you power on the machine it was say press "something" key to enter the bios, press that key

[16:25] <erUSUL> osxdude|desktop: you will be asked for your password first (sudo will) then you need to give the new pasword twice iirc
[16:25] <osxdude|desktop> erUSUL. Ok.

The immediate thing I want to do is reduce the number of terminals to 3, including the gui. But there were many other things I could break in the inittab. The info I have found is fragmented and incomplete for someone not very very good with linux.

[16:32] <chilli_> go 2 this link http://thegraveyard.org/daelstorm/sshots/matrix-red2.jpg and there is like an app
[16:32] <Chaves> Last night I was reading a section about speeding-up your ubuntu in ubuntuguide.org. It listed many services that could be just disabled, like bluetooth manager, which I dont use. So I just started to uncheck all services listed in System > Services when I realized that two of those were acpid and apmd. As I use a laptop (toshiba satellite A-50) I figured it would be better to leave those enabled and re-checked them then. Problem is, when I reboot
[16:32] <webjames> ikonia, yeah what software?
[16:32] <Dr_willis> santh_,  you are refering to '3d chess game' in the menus?  If you do an 'help-> about  it says its 'glchess' ' ?
[16:32] <chilli_> and i want to know how 2 get it running
[16:32] <ikonia> webjames: its supplied with the laptop, its propitary
[16:33] <ikonia> webjames: its different to setup in ubuntu
[16:33] <webjames> oh :(
[16:33] <ikonia> chilli_: thats just fluxbox and some thmese
[16:33] <zerby_> i need some assistance

[16:33] <zerby_> ntfs cant be mounted ikonia
[16:33] <Chaves> thanks Pici. Here it goes: Problem is, when I rebooted, and since then, my power manager does not change behavior when I switch to battery power. In fact, the "On Battery Power" tab doesn't even appera in the "Power Management" window. Does anyone have any clue on where to start?
[16:33] <Kalamarencu> MilitantPotato: I have been fine thanks did u see my PRV?
[16:34] <Kalamarencu> msg?
[16:34] <ikonia> chilli_: doc bar with flux and gkrelm b the looks of thing

[16:34] <swarm> My DSL modem uses a tiny version of busybox. I run it to a linksys wireless router. I can telnet to the dsl/busybox, but can't ping anything on the network. I can ping outside websites just fine though. any way to make it so i can see the LAN?
[16:34] <Pici> Chaves: What else did you disable?
[16:34] <ikonia> zerby_: ok - so when you go into /mnt/hda1 is there anything there ?
[16:35] <santh_> when i tried to enable 3d chess:  Please contact your system administrator and ask them to install the OpenGL Python bindings and the GtkGLExt Python bindings.
[16:35] <zerby_> empty ikonia
[16:35] <ikonia> swarm: thats not an ubuntu problem
[16:35] <ikonia> zerby_: "sudo mount /media/hda1"
[16:35] <swarm> meh, true.
[16:35] <zerby_> gives error ikonia
[16:35] <zerby_> !paste
[16:35] <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)

[16:36] <zerby_> ikonia : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45374/
[16:36] <chilli_> can you help me get it on there
[16:36] <Pici> !who
[16:36] <ubotu> 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 :)
[16:36] <ikonia> dallix: wubi is an unofficial install method and not supported
[16:36] <dallix> yes
[16:36] <ikonia> chilli_: join #fluxbox and ask them how to setup that theme
[16:36] <Chaves> let me check...
[16:36] <chilli_> ok ty
[16:37] <chilli_> whats gremlin
[16:37] <ikonia> zerby_: what command did you use to get that error
[16:37] <ikonia> chilli_: its called "gkrelm" and its a monitor app
[16:37] <zerby_> ikonia  sudo mount -a
[16:37] <zerby_> sudo mount /media/hda1
[16:37] <chilli_> i want to get that thing
[16:37] <ikonia> zerby_: 1.) listen to what I said, thats not what I told you to do 2.) I can see th eproblem
[16:38] <chilli_> where may i get if from
[16:38] <ikonia> chilli_: join #fluxbox and ask how to enable that theme
[16:38] <chilli_> ok
[16:38] <svea_kex> ikonia, i have flashplugin-nonfree already installed, so i reinstalled it in synaptic and restarted the fox, and its exactly like before
[16:38] <ikonia> zerby_: change ntfs in the fstab to ntfs-3g
[16:38] <chilli_> no1 is talking
[16:38] <zerby_> ok
[16:38] <ikonia> chilli_: then wait in there for someone to respond
[16:38] <Pici> chilli_: not every channel is as active as this one.
[16:38] <chilli_> lol
[16:38] <kski> anyone know why i'd get an error on the linux-server package when doing a fresh install?
[16:38] <zerby_> give me a sec ikonia ill tell my friend
[16:38] <chilli_> ok
[16:38] <ikonia> svea_kex: thats very odd, your using default firefox
[16:39] <ikonia> zerby_: tell your friend ?
[16:39] <ikonia> kski: depends on the error
[16:39] <WorkingOnWise> Ok, I'm sure this Upstart thing that has replaced inittab is a good thing...but for those of us who are not hard core developers, it iS So much more cumbersome.... I just wanna reduce the number of terminals on my system from 6 to 2. How do I do that?
[16:39] <zerby_> its a new linuxuser ubuntu ikonia he has the problem
[16:39] <ikonia> zerby_: then ask him to join
[16:39] <svea_kex> ikonia, yes i am, i know im not the only one with this problem :s
[16:39] <kski> it says try doing apt-get upgrade
[16:39] <kski> but i can't find the apt-get program on the cd
[16:40] <zerby_> ill try ikonia
[16:40] <ikonia> WorkingOnWise look at the tty options in inittab and check out the max_tty setting you can put in sysctl.conf
[16:40] <chilli_> ikonia
[16:40] <ikonia> kski do you have a server cd
[16:40] <ikonia> chilli_: what
[16:40] <bazhang> kski: that is a terminal command not a program
[16:40] <chilli_> what si fluxbox egacly
[16:40] <kski> i'm trying to install off the server cd
[16:40] <ikonia> bazhang: not its not
[16:40] <santh_>  when i tried to enable 3d chess:  Please contact your system administrator and ask them to install the OpenGL Python bindings and the GtkGLExt Python bindings.%C7
[16:40] <ikonia> bazhang: its a package
[16:41] <bazhang> chilli_: a window manager
[16:41] <sipior> WorkingOnWise: you can modify each of the /etc/event.d/tty* files and change "start on runlevel 2" to "stop on runlevel 2"
[16:41] <ikonia> chilli_: join #fluxbox, its a light weight window manager
[16:41] <chilli_> ic
[16:41] <sipior> WorkingOnWise: not very pretty, i know
[16:41] <chilli_> all i want is gkrelm i  think
[16:41] <ikonia> chilli_: ok, install it
[16:41] <ikonia> !info gkrelm
[16:41] <ubotu> Package gkrelm does not exist in gutsy
[16:42] <chilli_> kk
[16:42] <Pici> !info gkrellm
[16:42] <ubotu> gkrellm: The GNU Krell Monitors. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.10-2ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 776 kB, installed size 2160 kB
[16:42] <ikonia> Pici: nice one
[16:42] <Chaves> Pici: Services alsa-utils, bluetooth, brltty, hdparm
[16:42] <Chaves>        Startup Programs (in System > Preferences > Sessions): Bluetooth Manager, Evolution Alarm Notifier, Restricted Driver Manager, Tracker, User folders update, Visual --->from which I only kept the Buetooth Manager off after the bug...
[16:42] <WorkingOnWise> sipior: wow..not at all. So, if I understand it correctly, my box will start all 6 tty's, and then stop all the ones that I have set that stop at run level 2, right?
[16:42] <santh_> plz help me
[16:42] <zerby_> he is on his way ikonia
[16:43] <chilli_> were do i install from
[16:43] <Pici> Chaves: re-enable restricted driver manager
[16:43] <ikonia> chilli_: the ubuntu repo's search synaptic for gkrellm (thanks pici for typo correction)
[16:43] <sipior> WorkingOnWise: well, you can set the sysctl property as well, as described earlier. i don't consider event.d to be a great leap forward, but then no one asks me :-)
[16:43] <Pici> Chaves: I need to go now, system down here at work, ask the channel if you still have issues.
[16:43] <zerby_> ha MILAN
[16:43] <milan_> hajjo
[16:43] <zerby_> ok
[16:43] <chilli_> do i put that in terminal !info gkrellm
[16:44] <zerby_> ikonia milan is there
[16:44] <Chaves> Thnaks a lot Pici, Iĺl try that
[16:44] <zerby_> with the mountproblem
[16:44] <WorkingOnWise> sipior: so is sysctl what starts the tty's in the first place?
[16:44] <zerby_> i told him ilan the prob
[16:44] <milan_> k
[16:44] <svea_kex> ikonia, bye ^^
[16:44] <ikonia> milan_: change ntfs to ntfs-3g in your fstab for that device
[16:44] <marek_> oo
[16:44] <ikonia> svercer: bye
[16:44] <zerby_> he has info bout the prob too, milan_
[16:44] <sipior> WorkingOnWise: no, sysctl simply allows you to modify certain parameters of a running kernel
[16:44] <marek_> hi everyone! :)
[16:45] <sipior> WorkingOnWise: the terminals are still spawned by init, as before
[16:45] <ikonia> sipior: its not of a running kernel is it, its setting parameters at boot time
[16:45] <sipior> ikonia: running kernels as well
[16:45] <ikonia> sipior: handy I thought it could only do a few options real time
[16:45] <MrLinux> I have a good question for you and need some help here... who can help me ?

[16:49] <chilli_> there is lots of different ones
[16:49] <Armin> Yes, I get to the boot menu, and it even shows the loading progress bar. After a while, it displays the error. The disc is original, sent right from

[16:52] <ffighter> thanks
[16:52] <Armin> ikonia: I suppoused it had something to do with the drive, as weel. But it works fine on Windows, no issues. Besides, I tried previously to run Live discs
[16:52] <Armin> from previous versiones, and somehow, it didn't work either.
[16:52] <nvictor> hi all
[16:52] <ikonia> Armin: how does a live cd work fine on windows ?
[16:52] <neverblue> ikonia, what do you mean ?
[16:52] <nvictor> what command do I type to log as another user?
[16:52] <Armin> ikonia: no, no, I mean the drive works fine
[16:52] <ikonia> neverblue: he said the livecd works fine on windows
[16:52] <ikonia> Armin: I didn't say it was anything to do with your drive
[16:53] <sipior> nvictor: su <username>
[16:53] <neverblue> ikonia, ok, i see what he said, but what do you mean by your question ?
[16:53] <ikonia> Armin: I said run a check on the cd from the boot menu as it sounds like its not burnt correct"
[16:53] <nvictor> sipior: ok :D
[16:53] <Agent_bob> well poo.  i just fresh installed ubuntu LTS and i can't login    it's a known bug   just not fixed i guess.   "E: /dev/null: Permission denied
[16:53] <vlt> Hello. Can anyone tell me an icq/aim client for ubuntu that works on shell (like irssi for irc)?
[16:53] <ikonia> neverblue: I was asking how can a livecd work well under windows
[16:53] <ikonia> neverblue: as he said it worked well under windows
[16:53] <Profanephobia> Agent_bob, can you get to a fail-safe terminal?
[16:53] <neverblue> ikonia, yes, repeating your same question, thats not going to go anywhere
[16:54] <ikonia> neverblue: that is the question, "how can a live cd work under windows" - the answer is it can't but I wan'ted to know how he thought it did
[16:54] <maxsoft> hi all. Ubuntu7.10. problem with Geforce2 DDR generic. Ubuntu start well. Ubuntu inform me to enable hardware accelerator driver on video adapeter. I've enabled it. I've restar it and now dont work. how to restart in video safe mode?
[16:54] <Agent_bob> Profanephobia yeah i can get access. i'm not a beginner
[16:55] <Chill> ikonia: the livecd has a selection OS software for windows on it, perhaps that is what's referred to
[16:55] <Pici> vlt: finch is a cli version of pidgin
[16:55] <neverblue> maxsoft, you need to edit your xorg.conf
[16:55] <ikonia> Chill firefox and thats abou tit
[16:55] <Armin> Ok, I'll check the disc. Where can I get the MD5 checksum for Gutsy ISO?
[16:55] <Agent_bob> Profanephobia just kinda tic's me off that i have to fix a clean install.
[16:55] <Profanephobia> Agent_bob, chmod /dev/null to 777
[16:55] <Agent_bob> Profanephobia no.   chmod 222 /dev/null
[16:55] <maxsoft> please remember me how to edit in text mode
[16:55] <ikonia> Armin: why are you not listening "boot the cd and hit the "check cd option" as I've told you 2 times
[16:55] <ikonia> Profanephobia: why change /dev/null to 777 ?
[16:56] <Agent_bob> ikonia null needs to be writable  but not read or exec
[16:56] <ffighter> how do I stop the recording in gtk-record my desktop:
[16:56] <Armin> ikonia: easy, I did listen. I'm just looking for a double check.
[16:56] <ffighter> when I click record
[16:56] <luciano_> hello
[16:56] <ffighter> itbecomes hidden
[16:56] <ffighter> and I don't know what to do
[16:56] <ffighter> to finish the recording
[16:56] <neverblue> ffighter, read the manual
[16:56] <ikonia> Agent_bob so why change it 7777 then ?
[16:56] <luciano_> i still cant see my windows borders
[16:56] <Pici> !enter | ffighter
[16:56] <neverblue> !enter | ffighter
[16:56] <ubotu> ffighter: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[16:56] <MrLinux> ikonia are still here ?
[16:56] <ikonia> MrLinux: yes
[16:57] <phanter> Hello. I have made an encrypted partition on an external hard drive. I can get a different location in /dev/ when re-attached. How can I keep it to be automounted at the same folder.
[16:57] <chilli_> how od i run gkrellm
[16:57] <MrLinux> ikonia Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error.
[16:57] <MrLinux> that he says here
[16:57] <achadwick> Agent_bob: No. It does need to be readable. chmod a=rw /dev/null
[16:57] <ikonia> MrLinux: check the gdm / gnome logs in /var/log
[16:57] <Profanephobia> ikonia, my mistake lets not make an issue of this please
[16:57] <luciano_> I can't see the borders of my windows! can anybodyhelp?
[16:57] <Pici> chilli_: alt-f2 then type gkrellm
[16:57] <chilli_> kk
[16:57] <sashimi> Profanephobia>  gstreamer0.10-gl is not a format (even less a restricted format)...
[16:57] <ikonia> Profanephobia: I'm not making an issue, I asked why you where doing that as it didn't make sense
[16:57] <MrLinux> ikonia : I can't log in to enter a terminal ...
[16:57] <Agent_bob> ikonia you didn't read the conversation between me and Profanephobia    i fresh installed the LTS version and null is 644   so i can't log in    he said set it to 777 i said no to  222
[16:57] <ikonia> MrLinux: boot sage mode
[16:58] <neverblue> Profanephobia, he has a tendency to do it, i would recommend /ignore ;)
[16:58] <phanter> luciano_: do you use desktop effects? If so, you should turn them off
[16:58] <vlt> Pici: Don't know pidgin but I'll give finch a try. Thanks.
[16:58] <Profanephobia> ikonia, and as i said.. my mistake
[16:58] <MrLinux> ikonia : I have an' iBook G3 DUAL USB ..
[16:58] <ikonia> Agent_bob: 222 is wrong
[16:58] <luciano_> phanter: isn't there a way to see the effects and te window borders at the same time?
[16:58] <Agent_bob> ikonia for you maybe
[16:58] <ikonia> Agent_bob: you want w w w permissions ?
[16:59] <Profanephobia> sashimi, i completely read that worong before and didnt realize it for a while :)
[16:59] <Agent_bob> ikonia you have to have write access to null  yes.
[16:59] <sashimi> Profanephobia>  sorry ?!
[16:59] <achadwick> Agent_bob: no. It's a (not very useful) source as well as a (dead handy) sink.
[16:59] <Profanephobia> sashimi, what?
[16:59] <luciano_> phanter: isn't there a way to see the effects and te window borders at the same time?
[16:59] <ikonia> yes but its also a character file - not a normal file so changing it can cause problems, and it also needs to be readable too for some applications
[16:59] <MrLinux> ikonia : There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not worlk correctly. The Settings Daemon restarted too many times. The last error message was: System exception: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0
[17:00] <thorm> Hi guys. I deleted a folder with 12gb of mp3 storage, and it all left the folder
[17:00] <chilli_> yay
[17:00] <Agent_bob> achadwick and considered by some to be a security hole if world readable also
[17:00] <thorm> but it did not disappear
[17:00] <chilli_> it works
[17:00] <ikonia> MrLinux: I'd log a bug for that, I don't know how corba framework interacts with gnome
[17:00] <achadwick> Agent_bob: cite your source.
[17:00] <thorm> i mean the storage is still used!
[17:00] <MrLinux> ikonia : GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon net time you log in.
[17:00]  * genii sips a coffee
[17:00] <thorm> and the recycle bin is empthy
[17:00] <thorm> empty
[17:01] <MrLinux> hmmz
[17:01] <chilli_> it look a bit bad but ill go install a few things
[17:01] <thorm> Anyone can help ?
[17:01] <chilli_> ty all
[17:01] <geefinator> thorm:  If you deleted it, you deleted it...
[17:01] <MrLinux> ikonia : Please help me .. to unbag the system or to enter in it to fix it
[17:01] <sipior> thorm: sometimes gnome gets confused when you delete large swaths of files. see if it isn't still in .Trash
[17:01] <thorm> it still uses up space geefinator ? I just hit delete
[17:01] <thorm> sipior - ok, but where is .trash ?
[17:02] <coryandbrittany> im new at this how do u install .deb files
[17:02] <ikonia> MrLinux: I do'nt know how corba interacts with gnome, it could be something simple lime permissions of temp file for corba, but I don't know so I suggest logging a bug, or asking in #gnome what requirments corba has
[17:02] <sipior> thorm: in your home directory, and it's .Trash . the capitalisation is important
[17:02] <sashimi> could someone please, just test for me, just to confirm I'm not the only one having gstream output plugin problems. Please install gstreamer0.10-gl and gstreamer0.10-sdl, and tell me 1) if in gstreamer-properties, both plugins appear (only sdl does for me), and 2) if when SDL output is selected, the video resizes when switching to fullscreen or simply resizing the window
[17:02] <geefinator> thorm:  as sipior said, check .trash, should be in your home directory
[17:02] <Tiu> exit
[17:02] <thorm> Ok. thx i'll check
[17:02] <sid> How can I mount ubuntu read only, from grub or something. I have no disk/disc drive, and I wanted to dd one hard disk to another, and make a copy
[17:02] <Profanephobia> thorm, was this folder like on an external or another drive?
[17:03] <ikonia> sid you don't need to mount to dd
[17:03] <thorm> it was on my storage drive, which is added manually (mounted)
[17:03] <thorm> Profanephobia:
[17:03] <sid> ikonia: right, but I only have two hard disks, and one is the operating system
[17:03] <ikonia> sid: wo why do you want to mount read only ?
[17:03] <sipior> thorm: try unmounting and remounting, see if that sorts it out
[17:03] <thorm> hmm well its complicated cuz i needed to do it manually last time ?
[17:04] <MrLinux> ikonia : thanks for your time , I realy apreciat that and I still have a question ..
[17:04] <Profanephobia> thorm, check for a hidden folder on the drive called .Trash just to be sure
[17:04] <ikonia> MrLinux: ok
[17:04] <thorm> how do i do that Profanephobia ?
[17:04] <sid> ikonia: Because I'm going to dd a working/running hard disk, and I don't want to mess up dd by having things change
[17:04] <Profanephobia> thorm, ctrl+h shows hidden files
[17:04] <ikonia> sid: boot from a live cd
[17:04] <sid> ikonia: see my first statement
[17:04] <ikonia> sid: I missed it sorry
[17:05] <sid> 12:02 < sid> How can I mount ubuntu read only, from grub or something. I have no disk/disc drive, and I wanted to dd one hard disk to another, and make a copy
[17:05] <thorm> Thx, it was in the hidden .Trash on the drive Profanephobia :)
[17:05] <Profanephobia> ha sweet
[17:05] <ikonia> sid: ahh so you have no "cd" drive
[17:05] <ikonia> sid: just boot into rescue mode so that things like syslog arn't running to log and you'll be fine
[17:05] <MrLinux> ikonia : why Ubuntu 7.04 is not working good on my iBook ? Apears 2 screens .. on my sistem on I install it
[17:05] <ikonia> MrLinux: I don't understand what your asking
[17:06] <Profanephobia> MrLinux, are you saying it shows multiple installs?
[17:06] <sashimi> Hello, please, is there someone out there using gusty with an ATI gfx card, and using the default free drivers ?
[17:06] <MrLinux> Profanephobia : I meant that the screen is duble ..
[17:07] <sid> sashimi: me
[17:07] <Profanephobia> oh
[17:07] <sid> !tell sashimi about ask
[17:07] <sashimi> sid>  ok cool. do you use totem-gstreamer ?
[17:07] <sashimi> when playing videos
[17:07] <sid> sashimi: yes
[17:07] <Profanephobia> MrLinux, so you see two desktops on one monitor? (sry im just trying to figure out whats going on)
[17:07] <ikonia> Profanephobia: good lulck !
[17:08] <MrLinux> Profanephobia : yes ..
[17:08] <Profanephobia> MrLinux, my.. that is odd, one moment
[17:08] <sashimi> sid>  awesome. could you please install gstreamer0.10-gl and gstreamer0.10-sdl (just for a test, you can trash them in 5min  ;))
[17:08] <sashimi> sid>  I just want to confirm a couple of bugs
[17:08] <MrLinux> Profanephobia ok ..
[17:09] <poeloq> is it possible to tell ubuntu not to ask for the password for sudo or similar requests?
[17:09] <ikonia> poeloq: yes, you need to edit the sudoers file
[17:09] <sashimi> poeloq>  it is VERY UNWISE
[17:09] <poeloq> sashimi: i know ;)
[17:09] <Profanephobia> MrLinux, are you using yaboot?
[17:09] <MrLinux> Profanephobia : I downloaded the Ubuntu 7.04 distro from the ubuntu web site .. and that apears .. realy I want the new version but I don't want to look like that
[17:10] <poeloq> sashimi: is it possible to do it just for updates
[17:10] <MrLinux> Profanephobia : offcorse
[17:10] <sandaru1> poeloq: if you are going to use something in a shell script you can use "su" instead of "sudo"
[17:10] <sashimi> poeloq>  I thing for security updates you can set for them to be automatically installed
[17:10] <chilli_> hey people
[17:10] <sashimi> hey chilli_

[17:14] <_Lucretia> right, sick of this. I upgraded my machine cos it kept thrashing like mad (due to some apps eating all memory - FF) which made my machine grind to a halt so a reboot is the only way out. Is there some daemon I can install that will kill off any app that uses too much or thrashes too much?

[17:14] <ikonia> nvictor contact your tiny support group
[17:14] <_Lucretia> that's better
[17:14] <ikonia> _Lucretia not really
[17:14] <sipior> _Lucretia: actually, the kernel is supposed to do that already :)
[17:14] <poeloq> _Lucretia_:  i have the same problem here at the moment
[17:15] <_Lucretia_> poeloq: it's annoying, isn't it?
[17:15] <_Lucretia_> sipior: it does a bad job then
[17:15] <poeloq> _Lucretia_: what are the exact symptoms u get?
[17:15] <sipior> _Lucretia_: Works For Me (TM). What app is causing the problem
[17:15] <_Lucretia_> mental thrashing, keyboard locks up, mouse dead slow, display does shag all
[17:16] <phanter> my automounted partition does not give me the rights I need (writing to it!)
[17:16] <ikonia> _Lucretia_: whathardware is this running on
[17:16] <phanter> How can I change that behaviour
[17:16] <poeloq> _Lucretia_: sounds similar to what i have
[17:16] <_Lucretia_> sipior: dunno, probably FF as I had a few windows open. but it happened when I did a make -j3 on binutils and started totem, so could be any
[17:16] <IlluminaX> Is there a good HTML editor available for linux?
[17:16] <ikonia> _Lucretia_ why are you making binutils
[17:16] <ikonia> LinuxJuggalo: of course your machine is going to die with make -j3
[17:16] <sipior> _Lucretia_: be interesting to see what "free" says as the symptoms occur

[17:17] <sipior> yeah, -j3?

[17:17] <ikonia> _Lucretia_ 1.) binutils is core to ubuntu so I hope your not thinking or replacing it 2.) make -j3 will kill your machine for the duration of build
[17:17] <phanter> IlluminaX: it runs via wine on windows. ubotu just gave you a nice list of native applicatoins (mostly not comparable with dreamweaver)

[17:18] <ikonia> _Lucretia_: thats why your machine is getting hammered
[17:18] <Kalamarencu> IlluminaX: try Kompozer
[17:18] <IlluminaX> ok will try
[17:18] <_Lucretia_> ikonia: It shouldn't last an hour tho, binutils will build in a few minutes on this machine with j3
[17:18] <IlluminaX> is it free?
[17:18] <egyn> Hi, i've recently discovered a problem. Booted up my acer notebook today when ubuntu gave me a message "PCI: MSI quirk detected. MSI deactivated". After that the booting sequence halts. Have googled around a little but cant seem to find a good explanation. Any ideas?
[17:19] <phanter> IlluminaX: is what free ?
[17:19] <Joschi> sorry for joining and leaving, got some Powersave probs ...
[17:19] <IlluminaX> komposer
[17:19] <phanter> And what is free for you (as in beer or as in rights ?)
[17:19] <ikonia> _Lucretia_: unless a thread isn't finishing, have you checkted for example with top to see whats hammering your box
[17:19] <sipior> _Lucretia_: ikonia actually, i'm not so sure: can you reproduce the problem, and get the job load average and memory availability as things go south?
[17:19] <ikonia> _Lucretia_: what are you cross compiling for
[17:19] <Kalamarencu> IlluminaX:  it is free and is very close to Dreamweaver
[17:19] <Kalamarencu> as layout
[17:19] <_Lucretia_> ikonia: I can't do anything with the keyboard, so how am ?I supposed to do that?
[17:19] <IlluminaX> Thanks!
[17:19] <_Lucretia_> sipior: see above
[17:20] <ikonia> _Lucretia_: your keyboard hangs for an hour ? maybe ssh in see if something like that responds
[17:20] <_Lucretia_> ikonia: a test and arm-0elf
[17:20] <sharperguy> anyone got any idea why anjuta is saying it cant find gtkmm/main.h when i definatly have libgtkmm-2.4-dev installed?
[17:20] <Kalamarencu> IlluminaX: ANytime, let me know how it works for you
[17:20] <phanter> can I change the automount behaviour so that normal users can use the usb disk (encrypted)?
[17:20] <_Lucretia_> ikonia: can't no other machine to ssh in from
[17:20] <ikonia> _Lucretia_: could try running top in one widow and running the make see if the top window freezes or stays live
[17:20] <ikonia> _Lucretia_: run 2 top sessions one on memory one on cpu see what is being eaten
[17:20] <Narada> hi; how can i remove or permanently disable avahi-daemon without removing other linked dependencies/
[17:21] <sipior> _Lucretia_: i don't see a load average there, or memory availability data. did i miss a link?
[17:21] <baah> Splash terminates at: "checking root file system" even though it doesn't fail?
[17:21] <baah> using gutsy
[17:21] <_Lucretia_> shit! think it's shafted my email "summary and folder mismatch even after sync"
[17:21] <ikonia> _Lucretia_: careful on the language please
[17:22] <IlluminaX> Thanks Kalamarencu

[17:22] <Guest16155> hello, i need help please, i would like to know how i can protect my apache server with password ?
[17:22] <sipior> _Lucretia_: that's just evo getting confused. removing the index files will set it aright. course, it will have to rebuild the indices, but...
[17:22] <ikonia> _Lucretia_: is it possible you have a disk issue ?
[17:23] <_Lucretia_> ikonia: nope, cos it did it on my old machine and it's a new drive
[17:23] <_Lucretia_> sipior: thanks, found that
[17:23] <ikonia> _Lucretia_: very interesting

[17:24] <_Lucretia_> sipior: can I get rid of the *.ev-summary-meta files as well as the *.ev-summary files?
[17:24] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, a simple google search: http://www.brandx.net/support/buildingwebsites/passwords.shtml
[17:24] <vlt> Pici: finch says "Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory"
[17:24] <Cpudan80> For some reason, the Ubuntu splash screen doesn't show up on my Thinkpad T42.... any as to how to make it show up?
[17:24] <sipior> _Lucretia_: believe so, yes. you've backups, yes? :-)
[17:24] <vlt> Pici: any idea?
[17:25] <Pici> vlt: I've never actually used finch, sorry.
[17:25] <MasterShrek> Cpudan80, does the word splash appear on the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.list?
[17:25] <Cpudan80> MasterShrek: lemme see
[17:25] <vlt> Pici: hmmm, thanks anyway. Maybe it's because I'm running in runlevel S ...
[17:26] <Cpudan80> MasterShrek: That file doesn't even exist
[17:26] <MasterShrek> menu.lst then Cpudan80
[17:26] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: where i can find a guide for enabling htaccess option on apache server ?

[17:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about htaccess - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:26] <Guest16155> !.htaccess

[17:28] <KI4IKL> Is there any way I can rever alsa back to where it was at fresh install?
[17:28] <Dr_willis> chilli_,  be a little more verbose on what you need.. You install it. select it from the GDM sessions, and use it.
[17:28] <ikonia> chilli_: http://www.fluxbox.org
[17:28] <Cpudan80> MasterShrek: Maybe the screen resolution is too high/low?
[17:28] <chilli_> how to install it
[17:28] <chilli_> i have the file
[17:28] <Cpudan80> It should be 1024x768
[17:28] <chilli_> then installed it
[17:28] <chilli_> but now what
[17:28] <ikonia> chilli_: re-install ubuntu using fluxbuntu you'll find it eaiser and more intergrated than tring to do it manually
[17:28] <Cpudan80> MasterShrek: vga is set to 791
[17:29] <Dr_willis> chilli_,  sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[17:29] <ikonia> chilli_: there is also documentation on https://help.ubuntu.com
[17:29] <MasterShrek> Cpudan80, try setting vga to normal
[17:29] <Dr_willis> chilli_,  no idea what you mean by 'have the file' you dont need to manually download it.
[17:29] <babo> guys, since I've upgraded - qemu has stopped working. Gutsy has no frame buffer device ?
[17:29] <babo> (!) Direct/Util: opening '/dev/fb0' and '/dev/fb/0' failed
[17:29] <babo>  DirectFB/FBDev: Error opening framebuffer device!
[17:29] <babo> (!) DirectFB/FBDev: Use 'fbdev' option or set FRAMEBUFFER environment variable.
[17:29] <Cpudan80> MasterShrek: vga=normal?
[17:29] <chilli_> i have downloaded the program and installed it
[17:29] <MasterShrek> Cpudan80, yea
[17:29] <chilli_> but now what
[17:29] <ts_> How would I speed up a DD clone?.. I am cloning CF memory cards, and I use 'bs=4k'. It's only going 3mb/sec. Thanks
[17:29] <ikonia> chilli_: how did you download it
[17:29] <chilli_> sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[17:29] <babo> anyone have any ideas ?
[17:29] <ikonia> chilli_: there is a guide on https://help.ubuntu.com
[17:30] <Dr_willis> chilli_,  You install it. select it from the GDM sessions, and use it.
[17:30] <sipior> ts_: a larger block size would help
[17:30] <patrickkkk> whats is a good application to use to organize my music files into different folders?
[17:30] <MasterShrek> chilli_, when u log in at your gdm, choose the session
[17:30] <chilli_> whats GDM
[17:30] <Dr_willis> chilli_,  log out of X. look at the menus on the GDM login screen
[17:30] <ikonia> chilli_: how did you download it
[17:30] <MasterShrek> !gdm
[17:30] <ikonia> chilli_: there is a guide on https://help.ubuntu.com
[17:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:30] <babo> maybe it's SDL that isn't working ... ?
[17:30] <qolo> I want to change my JAVA_HOME environment variable in /etc/enviornment, how can I reload the value after Ive changed w/o logging out and back in ?

[17:30] <ts_> sipior:  and how would I go about doing that?
[17:30] <ikonia> chilli_: thats a good start
[17:30] <MasterShrek> chilli_, the screen taht comes up when u boot up, that u log in at
[17:30] <Dr_willis> theres a menu on the login screens that list all the installed window managers. You pick the one to use. and login - it will use the one you selected
[17:30] <sipior> ts_: well, change bs to 64k, for example
[17:31] <ikonia> chilli_: there is a guide on setting it up and configuring it within ubuntu on https://help.ubuntu.com
[17:31] <chilli_> ok so i log out now
[17:31] <chilli_> ansd run the GDE session
[17:31] <chilli_> ok ill try ty
[17:31] <qolo> also, how do I get to a text based startup instead of a GUI startup thing ?
[17:31] <MasterShrek> qolo, sudo rc-update remove gdm    i think
[17:31] <Dr_willis> qolo,  you can disable the gdm/kdm service and it will boot to the console.
[17:32] <jund13> hallo
[17:32] <qolo> well I have it booting to console now
[17:32] <poeloq> ur an idiot osman
[17:32] <qolo> but it still shows the graphic startup screen when its booting

[17:32] <tim167> hello, i need to boot into another operating system temporarily, can i do that via USB ? if yes, how ? thanks
[17:32] <Some_Person> Anyone know why "libpostproc1d" on the Medibuntu servers is "not authenticated"?
[17:32] <poeloq> sorry, wrong channel :O
[17:32] <Dr_willis> qolo,  you are refering to the bootsplash then. use the nosplash option for the kernel in menu.lst
[17:32] <Creed> Anyone have experience with BIND and setting up a custom tld (internal use only)?
[17:33] <OldPink> Will firefox 3.0 Beta (current) be put in the repoistories to replace the current gran paradiso alpha in Gutsy?
[17:33] <qolo> Dr_willis: thanks!
[17:33] <ikonia> Outburst: very doubtful

[17:34] <Creed> ikonia, any guide or howto you can recommend?
[17:34] <jund13> hello how can i play rmvb files in linux?
[17:34] <ikonia> OldPink: also mass amount of work to re-intergrate different versions
[17:34] <OldPink> ikonia: The same reason they put alpha software in?
[17:34] <ikonia> OldPink: such as ?
[17:34] <tim167> how can I boot from a USB drive ? thanks
[17:34] <OldPink> ikonia: Gran Paradiso Alpha. Search the repositories
[17:34] <ikonia> Creed: none really, I'm sure google will through up some how tos, ask in #bind or ask me
[17:34] <Creed> ikonia, I think hes referring to the alpha ff3 being in the gutsy repos.
[17:35] <ikonia> OldPink: thats alpha software that was packaged and install before gutsy was released,
[17:35] <ikonia> Creed: oooh
[17:35] <lu_cir> ciao

[17:36] <ikonia> jund13: thats not a question
[17:36] <Creed> ikonia, alright, well I want to set up windows like hostnames using BIND. Like have an entry in BIND to point "creed" to 10.0.0.1, etc.
[17:36] <folk_theory> ff3!!
[17:36] <hejinqian> irc://irc.beyondyou.com, #linuxfire
[17:36] <Some_Person> Would it hurt to install "kubuntu-desktop" on an Ubuntu system even if "libpostproc1d" is "not authenticated" on the Medibuntu servers?
[17:36] <Creed> ikonia, Im a Windows server guy so BIND is pretty new to me.
[17:36] <cox> how do i change the permissions on a folder so all can write to it?
[17:36] <chilli_> there was nothing on the screen
[17:36] <ikonia> chilli_: read the guide on https://help.ubuntu.com it walks you thorugh how to set it up
[17:36] <chilli_> oik ty
[17:37] <ikonia> Creed: have a look for a guide and if you have specific questions I'll be happy to help

[17:37] <jussi01> !patience > Some_Person
[17:37] <jund13> how can i play real media files in ubuntu ? please guys
[17:37] <ikonia> chilli_: for the LAST time https://help.ubuntu.com
[17:37] <chilli_> i know im am on that site
[17:38] <chilli_> were on the site
[17:38] <ikonia> chilli_: use the search function
[17:38] <Creed> Some_Person, authentication can usually be fixed by doign a sudo apt-get update, if it still doesnt go away, it really doessnt break anything.
[17:38] <chilli_> ok ty

[17:38] <lu_cir> aiutare
[17:38] <ikonia> lu_cir: go then #!
[17:38] <sipior> cox: be sure you want to do that, though, because those folks will be able to delete files as well, unless you set the sticky bit as well
[17:38] <chilli_> https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/config-desktop/C/other-desktops.html#other-desktop-kde i found this one thats all
[17:39] <jussi01> threexk: alt + f2 -> gnome-panel iirc
[17:39] <Billenium> BRB
[17:40] <sipior> patrickkkk: doesn't quite answer your question, but i generally find it is better for a program like exaile or amarok to organise my music, independant of how it is arranged on the filesystem
[17:40] <sipior> patrickkkk: YMMV, of course
[17:40] <cox> sipior: i think i'm barking up the wrong tree, i've gotta give php the permissions to write to a folder
[17:41] <cox> sipior: any ideas?
[17:41] <babo> guys, since I've upgraded - qemu has stopped working. Gutsy has no frame buffer device ?
[17:41] <Some_Person> Creed: thanks, that fixed it
[17:41] <babo> (!) Direct/Util: opening '/dev/fb0' and '/dev/fb/0' failed
[17:41] <babo>  DirectFB/FBDev: Error opening framebuffer device!
[17:41] <babo> (!) DirectFB/FBDev: Use 'fbdev' option or set FRAMEBUFFER environment variable.
[17:41] <babo> anyone have any ideas ?
[17:41] <babo> maybe it's SDL that isn't working ... ?
[17:41] <hejinqian> 有没有人在啊
[17:41] <sipior> cox: if the user php is in it's own group, you could change the group owner of the directory to match

[17:42] <hejinqian> 如何使用irc
[17:42] <cox> sipior: sorry for my newbie questions, but if the owner is everyone surely it's fine
[17:43] <ikonia> cox: how can the owner be everyone
[17:43] <ikonia> cox: only one person can be the owner
[17:43] <sipior> cox: no worries, everyone starts out a newbie
[17:44] <osxdude|desktop> erUSUL. Ok. thanks
[17:44] <Dr_willis> back when i was a newbie - the big argument was C64 or Apple.
[17:44] <Dr_willis> :)
[17:44] <cox> ikonia: basically, i'm trying to install a web app, and it's telling me that i've gotta make sure php has write permissions to that directory, where the web app is being installed
[17:44] <iratiku> I've got two physical disks... i want to erase the second one : i'm assuming /dev/hda is my primary drive.... i go to fdisk and it doesn't work on /dev/hdb ... until /dev/hdd... i've erased the partition table ... but it seems there is still something being automounted when ioctl() is called to reread the partition table..... a device shows up in /media/ ... "/boot" ... how do i find out what device that is linked to so i can erase the pa
[17:44] <iratiku> rtition table on the second drive properly ?
[17:45] <mickvdv> hello
[17:46] <ikonia> cox: php is run through apache, so you need to make sure that either/any apache user/group has write permissions to the dir or the dir is world writeable
[17:46] <chilli_> this is so gay
[17:46] <mickvdv> what?
[17:46] <chilli_> i vcant get fluxbox working
[17:46] <ikonia> chilli_: don't be offensive
[17:46] <ikonia> cox: does that make sense
[17:46] <chilli_> i have installed it using simmatic
[17:46] <Creed> ikonia, Ok, what I want to know is how I can set up BIND to point www.creed.123 to 10.0.0.1. I also want others to be able to use my DNS server and be able to access www.creed.123 using their browser or any other software.
[17:46] <mickvdv> try openbox?
[17:46] <Dr_willis> chilli_,  you dont see the entry on the gdm login screen?
[17:47] <erUSUL> iratiku: maybe 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/'
[17:47] <chilli_> i do
[17:47] <g-e> hey!
[17:47] <g-e> is there a way to stop gnome-terminal from wrapping text?
[17:47] <grindcore> good afternoon
[17:47] <Dr_willis> chilli_,  and......... clarify 'dont work' then. :)
[17:47] <chilli_> but iwhen i run it its blank
[17:47] <chilli_> sorrie
[17:47] <g-e> i want long lines in my bash.
[17:47] <chilli_> its just a blue screen
[17:47] <Dr_willis> chilli_,  you right click  and dont get a menu?
[17:47] <chilli_> with nothing on it
[17:47] <ikonia> Creed now thats totally possible, but not straight forward, as you need 2 bind servers, on public static facing internet address, that are setup to host your domain, but rememebr the view the public gets will need to be public addresses
[17:47] <grindcore> is here somebody running ubuntu on HP notebook 6715b ?
[17:47] <Dr_willis> chilli_,  thats about what it looks like. :)
[17:47] <mickvdv> http://apexlinux.blogspot.com/2007/05/how-to-install-customize-and-configure.html
[17:47] <chilli_> there is one down the bottm
[17:48] <babo> why doesn't gutsy have a framebuffer in /dev ?
[17:48] <mickvdv> there they tell you how it works
[17:48] <ikonia> chilli_: whats this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox?highlight=%28fluxbox%29
[17:48] <Dr_willis> fluxbox is very minimal.  a little panel, and a right click menu is all it is.
[17:48] <ikonia> chilli_: dolly mixtures ?
[17:48] <chilli_> how od i run flies or go on the net
[17:48] <ikonia> chilli_: I told you to read that guide
[17:48] <chilli_> kk
[17:48] <Creed> ikonia, my windows dns server will handle all roothints related stuff, i want my ubuntu one using bind to handle internal names.
[17:48] <ikonia> chilli_: too late now, you've burnt your support up with me
[17:48] <chilli_> sorrie
[17:48] <mickvdv> openbox, looks a lot like fluxbox
[17:49] <chilli_> whats better
[17:49] <ikonia> Creed: well you can't do that, you need 2 dns server per zone, so both will have to handle extneral and internal lookups
[17:49] <Pici> !best | chilli_
[17:49] <ubotu> chilli_: 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.
[17:49] <loguser1> can i run windows (that is preinstalled on a partition) from linux kubuntu at the same time?
[17:49] <ikonia> loguser1: in a virtualised machine, sure
[17:49] <RobertCWD> Creed: Sorry to jump in but is this purely for internal / dev stuff?
[17:49] <babo> what are the .iso files that come with the vmware download ? I have a windows.iso file that's nearly 30MB ...
[17:49] <grindcore> can someone tell me how i can activate my graphic ati radeon xpress 1250 - i cannot install ubuntu. thanks for help
[17:49] <Dr_willis> chilli_,  i normally use the right click menu, upen up a terminal and type 'firefox' :)
[17:49] <Creed> ikonia, i just want the internal one working, i dont mind so much about internet queries.
[17:49] <chilli_> ok ty
[17:49] <ikonia> Creed: you still need 2 dns servers
[17:50] <loguser1> ikonia how. which one
[17:50] <ikonia> Creed: although you can host on the same box, just different IP's
[17:50] <Dr_willis> chilli_,  you may want to get some more linux fundamentals learned befor tackling fluxbox.
[17:50] <ikonia> loguser1: sorry, what was your question
[17:50] <Creed> RobertCWD, we're studying DNS in our exchange 2003 class and im fairly ahead so im deciding to play around with what each OS has to offer in terms of dns.
[17:50] <Denyerec> I installed xubuntu-desktop, but it doesn't quite seem to have the same level of detail in tools that I remember from normal Ubuntu (It's been a while)
[17:50] <chilli_> i carnt right click
[17:50] <Denyerec> EG, when I go to manage users and groups, I can't see the group www-data even though I KNOW that group exists
[17:50] <Denyerec> What gives?
[17:50] <ikonia> Denyerec: xubuntu is a different desktop than gnome
[17:50] <loguser1> can i run windows (that is preinstalled on a partition) from linux kubuntu at the same time?
[17:51] <Denyerec> Yes, I'm aware of that, though someone in here mentioned that most of the gnome tools would still be present / work
[17:51] <ikonia> loguser1: you need to use a virtual machine then point the disk for the virtual machine at your windows disks
[17:51] <ikonia> Denyerec: yes, most will
[17:51] <ikonia> Denyerec: not all
[17:51] <grindcore> can someone tell me how i can activate my graphic ati radeon xpress 1250 - i cannot install ubuntu. thanks for help
[17:51] <leon_pegg> loguser1: yes you can using vmware qemu, etc...
[17:51] <chilli_> ok ill try again
[17:51] <Denyerec> something as basic as user management though, I would have expected to be complete.
[17:51] <cox> ikonia: sorry mate, yeh it does, how would is set it so apache has the right permissions?
[17:51] <Denyerec> But the XUbuntu one seems a little crippled.
[17:51] <Pici> grindcore: If you dont get any video using the Desktop install CD, try using the alternate CD.
[17:52] <Denyerec> unless there's a "Tick to show hidden things" option hidden away somewhere
[17:52] <ikonia> cox chown the dir to apache or the apache user/group then chmod it so that either/or the user/group is writeable or make it world writable
[17:52] <loguser1> leon_pegg: which will be the best vm         virtual box, vmware, qemu, or any other.
[17:52] <ArthurArchnix> RE: loguser1's question, really, I thought you had to convert the partition to an image that the vm could use?
[17:52] <leon_pegg> Depends on what you need
[17:52] <ikonia> ArthurArchnix I thouhgt you can point it at a device eg: /dev/sda1 for example, not certain not a big vmware user
[17:52] <leon_pegg> I myself use VMware Workstation (work paid for it)
[17:53] <RobertCWD> Creed: ah ok. Then bind is definitely where you should be looking. I wasn't aware that 2 IPs was a requirement for internal DNS though
[17:53] <leon_pegg> but I have had good results from qemu
[17:53] <nDevastator> anyone here use eclipse ?
[17:53] <mickvdv> virtualbox rulez
[17:53] <ikonia> RobertCWD probably not for internal as you won't do internet update to the registery
[17:53] <cox> ikonia: chown apache /var/www?
[17:53] <leon_pegg> and VMware server
[17:53] <loguser1> leon_pegg: which will be the best vm         virtual box, vmware, qemu, or any other.
[17:53] <ikonia> cox: thats good
[17:53] <Creed> RobertCWD, neither was I :S On Windows its just adding an A entry for a hostname and all is gravy, BIND is a little over my head.
[17:53] <ikonia> !best >loguser1
[17:53] <mickvdv> i beleve in ubuntu the apache user is www-data
[17:53] <ikonia> mickvdv could well be
[17:54] <mickvdv> on dapper it is
[17:54] <ArthurArchnix> ikonia: Cool. You're correct. Nice.
[17:54] <leon_pegg> loguser1: I really could not tell you what software would be best for you
[17:54] <RobertCWD> ikonia: that's what I thought ... internally you can bend the RFC a little :)
[17:54] <cox> ikonia: unfortunatly it's telling me it's an invalid user
[17:54] <ikonia> RobertCWD yes, totally
[17:54] <leon_pegg> loguser1: all I could do is give my opinions
[17:54] <ArthurArchnix> loguser1: Here's a how-to I came across: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=380699
[17:54] <loguser1> ikonia:  most used.............
[17:54] <ikonia> cox the user is www-data - check your commands, when I said apache user I meant the suer that operates apache, check things out for yourself don't follow blind
[17:54] <RobertCWD> Creed: If I may, if you don't want to get your hands dirty with BIND from the command line then the WebMin module works realy well
[17:54] <ikonia> loguser1: again thats totally subjective
[17:54] <ArthurArchnix> loguser1: You don't need to use vmplayer, that's just to illustrate the point.
[17:55] <loguser1> leon_pegg: most used?
[17:55] <ikonia> Creed: I would STRONGLY suggest against webmind
[17:55] <cox> ikonia: nice one, cheers for the heads up
[17:55] <ikonia> webmin
[17:55] <ikonia> cox: no problem
[17:55] <Creed> RobertCWD, lol the command line is making more sense to me then the webmin module.
[17:55] <ikonia> cox: just don't want you geting in problem
[17:55] <ikonia> cox: it was mickvdv who spotted the user mistake to kudos to mickvdv
[17:55] <cox> ikonia: i was just looking on finding the list of users so i was half way there :P
[17:55] <leon_pegg> VMware server is used alot (but dont install from ubuntu repos)
[17:56] <RobertCWD> ikonia: mind if i ask why?
[17:56] <loguser1> well there are best that have more options. easy to used. used by majority ppl.  are stable. thats whats best is
[17:56] <ikonia> RobertCWD the config required is limiting, there are MASSIVE security holes in it and lots of bugs
[17:56] <ikonia> loguser1: again totally subjective, try them and see which one YOU like
[17:56] <mickvdv> ikonia ty
[17:56] <grindcore> Pici which another disc u mean ? i have just one(downloaded) ubuntu desktop 7.10 amd64
[17:56] <ikonia> mickvdv credit where due
[17:57] <loguser1> ikonia:  ok. what options do i have. and is there a place where i can get their details.?
[17:57] <ikonia> loguser1: people have given you options in this channel, vmwware, qemu, kvm etc
[17:57] <grindcore> Pici - or if is possible - I would like to install ubuntu ultimate 1.5 - but same problem,... :(
[17:58] <loguser1> k
[17:58] <Pici> grindcore: Yes, On the ubuntu.com download page there is checkbox where you can select the alternate disk image.
[17:58] <ikonia> grindcore: ubuntuultiamte is an unsupported unofficial product, nothing to do with ubuntu
[17:58] <Pici> ikonia: Thanks, you're too fast for me today.
[17:58] <ikonia> Pici: ;)
[17:58] <nDevastator> grindcore: ill let you know theres still problems with the amd64
[17:58] <ffighter> hello
[17:58] <nDevastator> grindcore: i ended up just going with the 32bit version myself
[17:59] <grindcore> so what I should do ? and which version download ? thx for help to everyone
[17:59] <RobertCWD> ikonia: fair enough. was just thinking it may ease understanding of the different config files
[17:59] <nDevastator> just get the i386 version grindcore.... it will work fine for you
[17:59] <zerby_> question: how to install gtk 2.10: apt-get ...... (needed to install aurora)
[17:59] <ikonia> RobertCWD nah, its a terrible solution, (in my opinion) forces bind into a weak config
[18:00] <zerby_> ikonia the mount problem is solved
[18:00] <ikonia> zerby_: good
[18:00] <zerby_> thank you for helping out
[18:00] <ikonia> welcome
[18:00] <grindcore> nDevastator - and my ati will work - ati xpress 1250  ? because i cannot install ubuntu 64,...
[18:00] <zerby_> question: how to install gtk 2.10: apt-get ...... (needed to install aurora)
[18:00] <ikonia> zerby_: I don't think 2.10 is in the repo
[18:00] <mickvdv> i think it will work
[18:00] <EdgEy> hello, i've just installed another operating system and grub has been removed, how can I reinstall it ? my linux partitions are still there
[18:00] <zerby_> ah ok
[18:00] <zerby_> tx ikonia
[18:00] <nDevastator> grindcore: honestly cannot say... i have no exp with the ati cards
[18:00] <ikonia> !grub >EdgEy
[18:01] <OldPink> Anyone think of some cool adjectives? 0.o domain ideas
[18:01] <ikonia> OldPink:  this is ubuntu support not a chat channel
[18:01] <nDevastator> grindcore: i would google gutsy and that card and see what you have to do
[18:01] <genii> buntumaniacs
[18:02] <OldPink> ikonia: Banned from #ubuntu-offtopic for apparent bot abuse. And repeating ubotu's "Kylie Minogue pitied Mr. T and now she has cancer" joke
[18:02] <ikonia> OldPink that doesn't make it acceptable in here
[18:02] <ikonia> OldPink: this is a support channel only
[18:03] <ddddd> how to  remove al packages and only keep the linux-image-generic(and dependent packages) + ubuntu minimal(and dependent packages) metapackages ?
[18:03] <ikonia> ddddd thats pretty much impossible
[18:03] <ganeshhegde> how to bring all icons like firefox,....together and when mouse is moved over it it will come up (desktop effect)?
[18:03] <ddddd> ok can you explain ?
[18:03] <silent> does anyone know how to mount ntfs-3g in fstab giving users permission to mount? 'users' isn't working
[18:03] <ikonia> ddddd: everything is linked together so removing stuff will break
[18:04] <LeChacal> hi, how do i get to a CLI without the x running and i need to have run level 3
[18:04] <zerby_> ikonia is it safe to install gtk 2.10+ in GG?
[18:04] <ikonia> zerby_: is it in the repo ?
[18:04] <ikonia> LeChacal: disable gdm startup in run level 3
[18:04] <zerby_> ikonia i ma not sure how to get it:
[18:04] <zerby_> question: how to install gtk 2.10: apt-get ...... (needed to install aurora)
[18:04] <ikonia> zerby_: search synaptic
[18:05] <ganeshhegde> ikonia:do u remember me?I made compiz work wid ati radeon card...
[18:05] <genii> LeChacal: You want it always to boot this way or just now for some purpose?
[18:05] <zerby_> apt-cache search gtk |grep 2.10 gives just 3 hits, ikonia
[18:05] <ddddd> so there is no commanline opton to remove all packages and keep a minimal install ?
[18:05] <silent> ddddd, thats what 'cli install' is for
[18:05] <iratiku> when I do ls -l /dev/disk/by-label ... it shows boot -> ../../hdd1 .... how do i change that label?
[18:06] <Pici> !minimal | ddddd
[18:06] <ubotu> ddddd: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[18:06] <ikonia> ganeshhegde: no sorry
[18:06] <grindcore> nDevastator http://ubuntu.virginmedia.com/releases/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso    - is this good selection ? I'm newbie in linux , sorry for this questions,... :)
[18:06] <ganeshhegde> Pici:how to bring all icons like firefox,....together and when mouse is moved over it it will come up (desktop effect)?
[18:07] <Pici> ganeshhegde: I dont understand what you are asking.
[18:07] <ddddd> yes i know but i was thinking about the possibillity
[18:07] <Creed> How do I flush/refresh the DNS cache?
[18:07] <ganeshhegde> Pici:30 sec...i ll send a link..
[18:07] <adac> wher do i have to hook in so that my swap will be used as less as possible...or better only when it is really needed
[18:07] <ikonia> Creed: stop and start bind on the server, on the desktop thats up to your OS
[18:07] <EdgEy> thanks for the grub help, sorted now :)
[18:07] <ikonia> EdgEy: well done
[18:08] <nDevastator> grindcore: lemme look, i am not much better i am nub myself but i will try to help i went thru this just a couple of weeks ago
[18:08] <LeChacal> genii:just once so that i can install some Nvideo drives, it is what it wants
[18:08] <nDevastator> grindcore: oh here hold on ill send you the one you want
[18:08] <belleke> can someone help me?I would lik to install a minimal system with a window manager.but i would like that fbpanel starts together with for example : openbox how can you do this?
[18:08] <ganeshhegde> Pici:http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3132740038312792392&q=compiz+fusion+ubuntu&total=517&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=8

[18:08] <RB2> Hey everyone, Quick question. I installed an app via a DEB package. (double-clicked on the package file). How do I uninstall the application? It doesn't show up in Synaptic.
[18:09] <ganeshhegde> Pici:in this video...at the bottom all icons come..
[18:09] <ikonia> RB2: apt-get remvoe ?
[18:09] <ikonia> remove
[18:09] <nDevastator> grindcore: if you go there... if your newb you might want to get the feisty version (v6) instead of gutsy because it is more stable
[18:09] <RB2> ikonia, Since it didn't come from a repo, will that still work?
[18:09] <Sharpie> i need a program to backup my -music- to another HD (which will make a copy of the folder, and delete/add the necessary files in the target dir). any suggestions
[18:09] <nDevastator> grindcore: and just choose the standard personal computer option
[18:09] <Dr_willis> RB2,  i would say look closer in synaptic. it should be in there.
[18:09] <nDevastator> grindcore: that will get you the 32bit version
[18:10] <ganeshhegde> Pici:at time 1:26
[18:10] <ikonia> RB2: yes, or use dpkg -l to find it
[18:10] <Creed> ikonia, is this a valid config to make it so x / test.xnet resolve to 10.0.0.1? http://pastebin.com/m5dc8ff03
[18:10] <ikonia> ganeshhegde: try #compiz-fusion for effects advice
[18:10] <zamarax> hey guys, before I jump head over heals on this one, I want to know if it's possibly and any problems I might expect to come across, I have a dedicated sever hosting a website and I want to rsync that to a locally installed computer incase the server ever fails, is that easy enough?
[18:10] <ganeshhegde> ikonia:k...
[18:10] <RB2> It shows up with dpkg, should it show in Synaptic?
[18:10] <grindcore> nDevastator ok :)
[18:10] <ddddd> i can remove every single package by hand and check if it not removes the metapackages but that is a long way :-D
[18:11] <ikonia> Creed: that looks reasonable
[18:11] <Creed> zamarax, if your host gives you shell access or rsync then its perfectly fine.
[18:11] <ikonia> Creed: is proethues a host on the internet ?
[18:11] <zamarax> yes they do
[18:11] <ubuntu____> good evening, having trouble with my ubuntu <-> XP internet connection sharing... googled but mmh just getting icmp reply: destination unreachable..
[18:11] <zamarax> any recommendations or reading material to accomplish this?
[18:11] <Creed> ikonia, yes, prometheus has a A pointer to my home IP.
[18:11] <grindcore> ikonia what u think about selection of ubuntu for my laptop - amd64 tl-60, 2gb ram, ati radeon xpress 1250,... :)
[18:11] <ikonia> ubuntu____: how are you doing  connection sharing ?
[18:11] <hejinqian> 不会英文，来这里真的很能混
[18:11] <ikonia> grindcore use 32 bit
[18:12] <ikonia> Creed looks a solid file
[18:12] <nDevastator> thats what i was telling him ikonia
[18:12] <nDevastator> ;D
[18:12] <iratiku> when I do ls -l /dev/disk/by-label ... it shows boot -> ../../hdd1 .... how do i change that label?
[18:12] <x_or> I am trying to install ubuntu in Brazil.  I downloaded the CD after about ten hours and it looks like it is corrupted.  It does boot into the liveCD mode, and I am actually typing using Ubuntu.  However, the installer will not work, it complains of a disk error.  Does anyone know if I can run the installer manually, perhaps downloading the installer packages via the network connection?
[18:12] <nDevastator> i just got finished going thru all that a couple weeks ago
[18:12] <grindcore> ikonia and feisty or gutsu ?
[18:12] <ikonia> grindcore: 7.10
[18:12] <Creed> ikonia, I've restarted bind and it resolves it using opendns.org (had it set up as DNS forwarders before, not anymore).
[18:12]  * ArthurArchnix is trying to count how many conversations ikonia, but runs out of fingers.
[18:12] <ubuntu____> ikonia, [inet] --- [router] --- [wlanaccesspoint] *** [ubuntu] -- XP eth1 is wlan with internet.. eth0 is connected to the XP comp via switch
[18:13] <ikonia> Creed: well done, just FYI: RFC's don't allow non routable addresses on the internet
[18:13] <ikonia> ubuntu____: which machine is doing the sharing ?
[18:13] <grindcore> nDevastator - i just want to check more thoughts from more people, nothing against u :)
[18:13] <ubuntu____> the ubuntu system ikonia
[18:13] <ubuntu____> ubuntu 7
[18:13] <ikonia> ubuntu____: how are you doing the sharing, what software ?
[18:13] <Creed> ikonia, nothing resolves though :( I ping test.xnet and it pings some totally random Internet IP.
[18:13] <ubuntu____> ikonia, dnsmasq ipmasq and iptables
[18:14] <brobostigon> hi
[18:14] <brobostigon> good evening
[18:14] <ArthurArchnix> grindcore: You're building that pc?
[18:14] <ikonia> Creed can you show me in a pastebin ?
[18:14] <nDevastator> grindcore: oh heheh i didnt notice you asked him... by all means im no expert
[18:14] <ikonia> ubuntu____: have you got ipforwarwd set ?
[18:14] <Creed> ikonia, yeah one sec
[18:14] <nDevastator> anyone on here familiar with GWT
[18:14] <ubuntu____> ikonia, I've used this howto: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html#more-182 .. there was nothing about ipforwardwd
[18:14] <Creed> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m592b5da7
[18:15] <ikonia> ubuntu____: I can't be bothered to read all that, have you enabled ipforwarding
[18:15] <x_or> Or, does anyone know if I can run ubiquity in a "network" mode so it pulls the packages down manually?
[18:15] <Makt> hey guys I just installed Ubuntu and I'm wondering what I can do to optimise it
[18:15] <ubuntu____> ikonia, # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward .. I think so
[18:15] <Sharpie> Makt: press the 'optimize' button
[18:15] <RB2> Dr_willis, It shows up with dpkg, but not in synaptic. Synaptic's just for packages from the repos, right?
[18:15] <taz_> hi guys
[18:15] <ikonia> Creed: thats because your not the SOA for the xnet domain (I don't even thing there is a domain called xnet) what dns server is your client set to use ?
[18:16] <swill> Im on Gutsy...  are there solutions that work yet for the suspend/hibernate problem with fglrx???
[18:16] <taz_>  any one know how work with cube ??
[18:16] <grindcore> ArthurArchnix - I'm afraid i have this congig in laptop - HP Compaq 6715b - crap :(
[18:16] <ikonia> swill: not that I'm aware of
[18:16] <ArthurArchnix> Makt: You might find some guides on the forums. My advice is proceed slowly, try one thing at a time. Go slow.
[18:16] <Makt> rofl
[18:16] <Sharpie> taz_: #compiz-fusion
[18:16] <ikonia> taz_: yes
[18:16] <Pici> !cube | taz_
[18:16] <ubotu> taz_: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features. See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects »
[18:16] <taz_> yes that one
[18:16] <Creed> ikonia, lol Im trying to set up xnet as my custom internal TLD, I dont want it resolving on the Internet.
[18:16] <ArthurArchnix> grindcore: I see, so you already own it.
[18:16] <ikonia> Creed: .xnet is not a FQD
[18:16] <swill> GRRRR, how can you ship a distro that totally alienates all of its professional laptop users....
[18:16] <ikonia> Creed: also what dns server is your client using ?
[18:16] <taz_> can u help me step to step please
[18:17] <ikonia> swill: it doesn't
[18:17] <Creed> ikonia, for internal names it doesnt have to be anything valid, its something Im making myself right now.
[18:17] <grindcore> ArthurArchnix yep :( u dont want to buy this laptop ? ;)
[18:17] <Sharpie> taz_:  we told you, go to #compiz-fusion
[18:17] <ikonia> Creed: for bind - it has to be a valid name
[18:17] <ArthurArchnix> grindcore: I'm good thanks.
[18:17] <Creed> ikonia, using prometheus (BIND server) as my DNS on my client.
[18:17] <ikonia> Creed: although as its internal you don't have to own it ;)
[18:17]  * CoasterMaster is a professional laptop user
[18:17] <Creed> ikonia, BIND cant do custom TLD's?
[18:17]  * sipior is a professional laptop abuser
[18:17] <ikonia> Creed: I don't think so, its not like ldap and active directory
[18:17]  * Sharpie is a professional laptop rapist
[18:17] <ikonia> Creed: but don't quote me on that
[18:17] <swill> ikonia: it makes it really hard for us to work if we are giving presentations and such...  'one sec, just let me restart my computer'...
[18:18] <Creed> ikonia, :( Guess Ill have to stick to windows for custom tld work.
[18:18] <grindcore> ArthurArchnix :) so u know what crap is it ;) dont blame ya :)
[18:18] <ikonia> Creed: I will check up on that though as I'm not certain
[18:18] <swill> ikonia: if i know this was going to be a problem i would have NEVER upgraded...
[18:18] <Sharpie> i need a program to backup my -music- to another HD (which will make a copy of the folder, and delete/add the necessary files in the target dir). any suggestions?
[18:18] <Creed> ikonia, alright, Ill keep banging my head at this lol
[18:18] <grindcore> CoasterMaster - so u dont want aswell gooood laptop ? :)
[18:18] <sipior> swill: feisty is still there, why not downgrade?
[18:18] <ikonia> Creed: if you do nslookup on your client does it 1.) use your server 2.) report the correct address ?
[18:19] <swill> ikonia: is there some sort of timeline for when it will get working again?  downgrading is scary, not sure what else will break
[18:19] <Creed> ikonia, yup, shows it using 10.0.1.1 (localhost) as the DNS server.
[18:19] <ikonia> swill: no its a bug its fixed when it can be. Is there a bug for it logged ?
[18:19] <sipior> why would downgrading break anything? it's what you were running before
[18:19] <ikonia> Creed: so on the server it works and if you ping it from the server does it hit 10.0.1.1
[18:20] <drewzf> Has anyone seen Google OS?
[18:20] <ikonia> sipior: I think synpatic may have a few issues meeting dependencies ont he downgrade
[18:20] <grindcore> ArthurArchnix :) have u got some experience with ubuntu ultimate ?
[18:20] <ikonia> drewzf: this is ubuntu support not a gernal chat channel
[18:20] <drewzf> /s/seen/used/
[18:20] <Drake> I keep getting an error from my monitor that the "frequency is out of range" when i go to play a full screen game... any ideas how to keep the frequncy in range?
[18:20] <sipior> ikonia: by downgrade, i mean: reinstall the older os, no mucking about with synaptic
[18:20] <ikonia> grindcore: ubuntu ultimate is not an official distro supported by ubuntu and not supported here
[18:20] <ikonia> sipior: good call
[18:20] <drewzf> ikonia: Where is the general chat channel?
[18:20] <DK> Can someone help me out? i'm trying to install ubuntu for 64 bit computers off of the alternate install. I'm not sure how to partition the hard drive to allow both OSes to be on this computer
[18:20] <Creed> ikonia, pinging from the server or using nslookup resolves it to 208.67.219.137 which Im guessing is a OpenDNS server...actually it is a OpenDNS server.
[18:20] <ikonia> drewzf: ##linux #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:20] <swill> ikonia: last time i saw a bug for it they were saying stuff about needing new fglrx drivers to be released.  new ones were released and aparently it only made the problem worse (from what i hear).  there was a problem with SLAB vs SLUB or something???
[18:20] <ikonia> Creed: that makes sense
[18:21] <Sharpie> i need a program to backup my -music- to another HD (which will make a copy of the folder, and delete/add the necessary files in the target dir). any suggestions?
[18:21] <drewzf> This is Ubuntu related
[18:21] <ikonia> swill: check the bug status
[18:21] <ikonia> drewzf: google os isn't
[18:21] <drewzf> totally not offtopic
[18:21] <drewzf> Yes it is
[18:21] <Creed> ikonia, why would it resolve to that? :( I have a A record set to resolve it to 10.0.0.1.
[18:21] <drewzf> it's based off of Ubuntu ... rofl.
[18:21] <ikonia> drewzf: this is an ubuntu SUPPORT channel
[18:21] <jelabarre> Sharpie: I have usually done it with rsync.  Of course, the problem I've usually encountered is when I'm syncing to/from a FAT32 or NTFS partition.  The timestamps on those filesystems are a little too slack for rsync
[18:21] <drewzf> ikonia: Take a chill pill
[18:21] <grindcore> ikonia - i know - I just want to ask somebody who was using this or still using - what think about this one,... thats all :)
[18:21] <swill> ikonia: thanks...  :)
[18:21] <ikonia> Creed: show me your /etc/resolv.con
[18:21] <ikonia> drewzf: I am
[18:21] <ikonia> grindcore: it is not supported/discussed in here
[18:21] <ArthurArchnix> grindcore: This channel is more for specific questions, you should check out #ubuntu-offtopic for ubuntu talk
[18:21] <Sharpie> jelabarre: yeah but rsync is a bit annoying, is there a good front end prog for it?
[18:22] <jelabarre> I think there's a switch to allow for the slack, but I aven't looked into it yet
[18:22] <bthornton> I've just created a user on my Ubuntu box that, upon logging in, I want to only be able to run one program.  So I've set up the ~/.Xsession file to do this, and it works well; however, it's still possible to login with a GNOME session via GDM.  Is there any way I can ensure that this user will *ONLY* log in with the ~/.Xsession file?
[18:22] <Creed> ikonia, bleh thought I removed it from there lol Have opendns servers still listed. Let me take them out and see.
[18:22] <ikonia> Creed: ;)
[18:22] <kresna> hi

[18:22] <jelabarre> Sharpie: http://freshmeat.net/projects/grsync/
[18:22] <Creed> ikonia, dhcp disabled everywhere :) all static assignments until I get this working right.
[18:23] <grindcore> ArthurArchnix ok, no worries :) if u know someone who need laptop, let me know ;)
[18:23] <ikonia> Creed: good call

[18:25] <Drake> ikonia: if i change settings on the program causing it from full screen on startup to windowed will it work? or will i still get the error?

[18:25] <Assassyn> error when installing samba server from Ubuntu 7.10 DVD

[18:25] <Drake> ikonia: i am on the same monitor now ... (only happens when i start the program
[18:25] <ikonia> Creed: thats an interesting question
[18:26] <ikonia> Drake: then its probably the program that changes the mode of th emonitor
[18:26] <Creed> ikonia, looks like theres third party tools to do it hmm
[18:26] <Drake> okay...
[18:26] <ikonia> Creed: thats surprising

[18:30] <Creed> ikonia, correct
[18:30] <pr1r> spiderfire: and this is a fresh install
[18:30] <ikonia> Creed: is ncd running or in.route.d
[18:31] <spiderfire> pr1r: is what happens your window manager disappears?
[18:31] <Creed> ikonia, nscd is running, I had an error when I restarted networking: SIOCADDRT: File exists | Failed to bring up eth0. anything I should be worried about?
[18:31] <b4d> ikonia: i mean gimp 2.4 is out and synaptic only finds 2.2

[18:31] <ikonia> b4d: doubtful it will ever jump
[18:32] <ikonia> Creed: ahhh but something failed to bind to it by the looks of things
[18:32] <pr1r> spiderfire: nah that was happening with the nvidia card but i fixed that and then i tried setting up dual monitors using screens and graphics, it tells me to restart, i restart and then it tells me its running in low graphics mode
[18:32] <Creed> ikonia, yeah

[18:33] <Creed> ikonia, nsswitch.conf http://pastebin.com/m32ee5b66
[18:33] <jelabarre> Sharpie: no problem.  I notice, looking at it just now, it *does* have a setting for dealing with Windows filesystems
[18:33] <pr1r> spiderfire: i havent installed that yet... should i?
[18:33] <Salbutamol> silent, there goes http://www.forosuse.org/forosuse/showthread.php?t=12067
[18:34] <Sharpie> jelabarre: yeah, I don't really care about change dates though so I didn't bother checking it
[18:34] <spiderfire> pr1r no idea sorry
[18:34] <ikonia> Creed: don't know what the mdsn4_minimal is in there
[18:34] <pr1r> its cool... ty
[18:34] <Salbutamol> it says you'll have to make ntfs-3g setuid, so watch out
[18:34] <Creed> ikonia, me neither...As far as I know this is a stock server with webmin.
[18:34] <ikonia> Creed: basiclly its checking your host file, than mdsn what ever that is then your dns then mdsn4 again
[18:34] <pr1r> does anyone know how to get 2 monitors working on 1 video card? and get desktop effects to work as well?
[18:34] <Sharpie> jelabarre: btw, is there a daemon in the gui prog? (like, to run it every day)
[18:34] <jelabarre> on a dual-boot system Ill have my documents and music on either FAT or NTFS, and if I'm syncing to a USB external, it gets even worse
[18:35] <ikonia> Creed: its not hte first time I've seen it, I just don't know what it does
[18:35] <babu> ubuntu: when i tried to install wine then , it says dependancy error Depends: binfmt-support (>=1.1.2) but it is not installable
[18:35] <ikonia> Creed: you could try removing it, see if it still resolves
[18:35] <grindcore> i have 20gb ext3, 1gb swap - this is allright for install ubuntu, no ?
[18:35] <ikonia> grindcore: don't see why not

[18:35] <sharadg> hi I am tried to access my dvd rom over NFS , I am able to mount the volume but the client is not able to see any subdirectories .
[18:36] <JoeThomas> Hi, I compiled apache2 from source, but then had some trouble with php5 and mysql, so I ran make uninstall on mysql and php, but forgot to on apache2. But I already deleted the source folder.
[18:36] <Mark761966> I want to have a ma menu launcher in Simdock. Can it be done?
[18:36] <nomojob> can someone help me with a problem loading Ubuntu?
[18:36] <Creed> ikonia, yup new addresses still resolve with all mdns entries removed.
[18:36] <babu> ubuntu: when i tried to install wine then , it says dependancy error Depends: binfmt-support (>=1.1.2) but it is not installable
[18:36] <ikonia> JoeThomas: remove each file manually, silly to compile from source and break your package manager
[18:36] <ikonia> Creed: very very odd
[18:36] <Can0n> Is it possible to make Nautilus to NOT turn my pictures so they are shown the correct way ?  It's a real pain when I'm gonno upload a picture which seems fine in nautilus but when I have uploaded it the picture is turned the wrong way
[18:36] <d4rkfox> ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[18:37] <d4rkfox> ujhn
[18:37] <JoeThomas> ikonia: Nevermind, just did a reboot. Seems just by stopping the old service didn't work without reboot, I guess all is good now
[18:37] <nomojob> I am getting a Error 21 message when I reboot
[18:37] <JoeThomas> ikonia: Thanks though
[18:37] <jelabarre> sharpie: it does have a way of exporting a "session", I suppose you could put it into a cron job, although in that case you'd be better off doing it with a command line to rsync rather than adding the GUI layer
[18:37] <ikonia> JoeThomas: be careful as your package manager is now invlaid
[18:37] <JoeThomas> ikonia: fix?
[18:37] <ikonia> JoeThomas: too late
[18:37] <babu> ubuntu>when i tried to install wine then , it says dependancy error Depends: binfmt-support (>=1.1.2) but it is not installable
[18:37] <ikonia> JoeThomas: you've got conflicting files
[18:38] <JoeThomas> ikonia: Oh :/
[18:38] <nomojob> i need to edit the grub/menu.lst file but it says I dont have permission to do that?  How can I edit that file?
[18:38] <ikonia> babu: we heard you the firt time
[18:38] <ikonia> nomojob: use sudo
[18:38] <Stoffer> can I ask a hardware question here (unrelated to ubuntu), or is there another channel I can go to?
[18:38] <Sharpie> jelabarre: yeah i guess, but i'm not really familiar with rsync. oh well, i'll rtfm then :P
[18:38] <JoeThomas> ikonia: Well I removed the /etc/init.d/httpd file.
[18:38] <ikonia> JoeThomas: thats nothing
[18:38] <ikonia> JoeThomas: there are MUCH more files
[18:38] <Creed> ikonia, could my router be resolving it?
[18:38] <JoeThomas> ikonia: even if I removed the /usr/local/apache2 folder?
[18:38] <ikonia> Creed: that is possible, but I don't see how
[18:38] <nomojob> i tried sudo -e <filename> but when trying to save it, it still says i dont have permission
[18:38] <ikonia> JoeThomas: maybe, maybe not, depends what else was installed
[18:39] <ikonia> nomojob: why -e ?
[18:39] <JoeThomas> ikonia: Alright.
[18:39] <nomojob> edit?
[18:39] <JoeThomas> ikonia: Anything security related?
[18:39] <nomojob> i new, haha
[18:39] <ikonia> nomojob: sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:39] <slmouradian> hello. What is the command to reload the list of applications in the package manager?
[18:39] <ikonia> JoeThomas: yes, your security updates from the package manager may break your box
[18:39] <nomojob> ok, brb, thanks!!
[18:39] <ikonia> slmouradian: apt-get update
[18:39] <JoeThomas> ikonia: arrr :/ oh well
[18:39] <JoeThomas> ikonia: I can just redo the machine.
[18:39] <ikonia> JoeThomas: ok
[18:40] <JoeThomas> ikonia: Thanks for your help though.
[18:40] <Mark761966> Hello there
[18:40] <ikonia> hi
[18:40] <aklmmw> hi
[18:41] <slmouradian> thanks ikonia :)
[18:41] <Mark761966> I want to have a menu launcher in simdock. Can I?
[18:41] <ikonia> slmouradian: for what ?
[18:41] <ikonia> Mark761966: no idea
[18:42] <babu> ikonia>i dont get any reply from ubuntu , pls tell me when i tried to install wine then , it says dependancy error Depends: binfmt-support (>=1.1.2) but it is not installable
[18:42] <jelabarre> yes, the GUI is good for quick-and-dirty jobs, but if you want to run the same job on a regular basis, a command line is the best.  You can use the "dry run" switch (-n or --dry-run) to see what would happen without actually changing anything
[18:42] <Dr_willis> babu,  i would do a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade'  first THEn try again.
[18:42] <ikonia> babu: wine is currently broke in the ubuntu repo. you have to download from the wine site, I believe, unless it has been fixed
[18:43] <Dr_willis> wine is drunk?
[18:43] <martbhell> hey guys, i'm using ubuntu 7.10 on a thinkpad t40. Im connecting a JOS mp3player to the computer (mounted as vfat). I cut out some files and pasted them in my homedir. df says there's 164M avail, 877M in use and 1.1G as size. But du tells me theres is just 532M of files on it..
[18:43] <Altu59> is there a way to move avaint window manager to the right of the screen?
[18:43] <ikonia> Mark761966: hidden files ?
[18:43] <babu> Dr: when i update then it says E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[18:43] <babu> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[18:43] <ikonia> babu: sudo apt-get udate
[18:43] <Mark761966> Hidden files, Ikonia?
[18:44] <ikonia> babu: it means something else is using the package manager
[18:44] <ikonia> Mark761966: yes, file that are hidden
[18:44] <Sharpie> babu: your synaptic/update manager is open?
[18:44] <iratiku> when I do ls -l /dev/disk/by-label ... it shows boot -> ../../hdd1 .... how do i change that label?
[18:44] <martbhell> you meant that for me ikonia _

[18:44] <Sharpie> babu: then close them
[18:44] <Dr_willis> babu,  close it like the 'error message' is sort of implying. :)
[18:44] <Mark761966> Yes, I have those Ikonia. What about them?
[18:45] <Noiano> How do I get rid of documents, music folders? they're always re-created after deletion...
[18:45] <ikonia> Mark761966: they maybe taking up your space
[18:45] <Mark761966> Not really
[18:45] <Dr_willis> Noiano,  they are? I ve never seen that happen.

[18:45] <Denyerec> Is there a HowTo on how to get CUPS shares working for 7.10 ?
[18:45] <Noiano> Dr_willis, I have deleted them 4 times...after reboot they're still there
[18:46] <RB2> Can anyone confirm this bug? When I go to this page, the flash ad keeps spawning again and again... you can hear more and more copies of the ad being played. http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/27/leopard-vs-vista-feature-chart-showdown/
[18:46] <Denyerec> I'm finding old things whos instructions throw errorsd
[18:46] <ikonia> Denyerec: ther is one for 7.04 that is still applicable I beleive
[18:46] <Denyerec> the first command in one I'm following:    sudo adduser cupsys shadow
[18:46] <Denyerec> fails with "user cupsys does not exist"
[18:46] <ikonia> Denyerec: which guide are you using ?

[18:46] <Denyerec> http://varspool.blogspot.com/2006/07/fixing-cups-on-ubuntu-linux.html
[18:47] <ikonia> Denyerec: thats not an ubuntu doc
[18:47] <Mark761966> Does anyone know the command to bring up, say, the internet menu?
[18:47] <ikonia> Denyerec: https://help.ubuntu.com are the ubuntu docs
[18:47] <Denyerec> I know, I couldn't find the ubuntu one
[18:47] <Pici> nomojob: perhaps you should be using an easier to use editor, like nano.
[18:47] <ikonia> Denyerec: people in here can't support 3rd party docs
[18:47] <Denyerec> Hence asking in here after my alternative googline failled.

[18:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nautilus - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[18:48] <ikonia> iratiku: thats not a factoid
[18:48] <B-rabbit> hi guyz....silly question to ask..but does anyone know the command to restart the telnet service  after editing the inetd.conf file. (i am new to Linux and yes i have googled for the answer i couldn't find the ans..) help would be greatly appreciated
[18:48] <ompaul> iratiku, your question does not make sense - I did read it
[18:48] <proprietarysucks> anyone know a guide for 'kickstarting' ubuntu? I have it all set up I just don't know how to do the 'automation' part of it (like the kickstart file for red-hat).. anyone know what I'm trying to say?
[18:48] <ikonia> B-rabbit: are you on ubuntu
[18:48] <OldPink> !telnet | B-rabbit
[18:48] <ubotu> B-rabbit: telnet is not safe. Please use ssh instead. See !ssh
[18:48] <Pici> B-rabbit: you really shouldnt be using telnet. its insecure.

[18:49] <ompaul> proprietarysucks, you can install either "rcconf" or "bum" the former cli and the latter gui

[18:49] <Denyerec> I was missing the damn port number

[18:50] <pinkbunny> How do I completely reinstall a package?
[18:50] <proprietarysucks> ompaul: not sure you know what I'm talking about
[18:51] <nomojob> shouldnt the editor just let me replace a character and then save?
[18:51] <OldPink> Pici: Should say "if possible, ask a user before sending private message"
[18:51] <OldPink> Asking before sending is lame
[18:51] <ikonia> OldPink: offtopic
[18:51] <ompaul> pinkbunny, sudo apt-get remove --purge package; rm -rf "whatever local config files" ; sudo apt-get install package
[18:51] <kei-> Hello
[18:51] <KI4IKL|Lappy> I seem to have a bit of an issue with alsa (I think) When I play audio I get a crackly noise. When I go into gstreamer-properties and change the device to Al(something or another) the pipeline changes to hw:0,0 and the sound is just fine, but it immediately revers after closing the box. I've asked in the alsa channel and no one can seem to help me.
[18:52] <ikonia> ompaul: isn't there apt-get install --reinstall ?
[18:52] <ompaul> proprietarysucks, I do ;-) so those packages to that kind of job

[18:52] <OldPink> !defocus > OldPink
[18:52] <ikonia> eltew: why can't you install it ?
[18:52] <ompaul> ikonia, well I only do one way - I prefer how to you reset to default - dpkg-reconfigure package :)
[18:52] <ompaul> point
[18:52] <Mark761966> Okay. How can I find out what the underlying command that makes a menu work is?
[18:53] <Pici> kei-: please ask in #winehq, they deal with application specific issues.
[18:53] <iratiku> ?
[18:53] <ikonia> Mark761966: there isn't a command, its a gui app and responds to clicks
[18:53] <iratiku> when I do ls -l /dev/disk/by-label ... it shows boot -> ../../hdd1 .... how do i change that label?
[18:53] <Sharpie> is it possible to put a command in crontab rather than a file name? (like, in quotes or something?)
[18:53] <kei-> Pici ok thx
[18:53] <ikonia> Mark761966: the gnome desktop can also have short cut keys
[18:53] <ikonia> Sharpie: yes
[18:53] <nomojob> Pici: shouldnt the editor just let me replace a character and then save?
[18:53] <Mark761966> Is there an add on for simdock that allows you to add menus?
[18:53] <ikonia> iratiku: I have no idea what you are talking about
[18:54] <eltew> when I do apt-get it says: Package libdvdcss is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[18:54] <Pici> nomojob: If you executed it with sudo, then sure. I don't use vi/vim though.
[18:54] <Pici> !dvd > eltew (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[18:54] <iratiku> ikonia: when you run ls -l /dev/disk .... you see the disks and their labels
[18:54] <Sharpie> ikonia: then, lets say: 00 20 * * * "rsync blablabla" would be fine?
[18:54] <ikonia> iratiku: yes
[18:54] <iratiku> err... ls -l /dev/disk/by-label
[18:54] <ikonia> Sharpie: yup
[18:54] <ompaul> iratiku, you have repeated your question - you are not being parsed well - please totally approach it from from different language
[18:54] <Sharpie> ikonia: aight, thx
[18:54] <Jack_Sparrow> nomojob: permissionsd can get in the way
[18:54] <Mark761966> Or is there a more Mac OSX-like dock available for Gnome or XFCE?
[18:54] <iratiku> okay...
[18:55]  * ompaul gets a new english install in his head
[18:55] <Denyerec> OK so.
[18:55] <nomojob> Pici: is there another editor that I can use that is already installed with Ubuntu?
[18:55] <iratiku> when you run "ls -l /dev/disk/by-label" you see the label and the disk the label points to .... so how do you change the label?
[18:55] <Denyerec> Following the guide for CUPS on the ubuntu website..... does not work :)
[18:55] <ikonia> Mark761966: check through synaptics package manager
[18:55] <Pici> nomojob: nano
[18:55] <Mark761966> I did
[18:55] <ikonia> iratiku: thats just the same question again
[18:55] <Denyerec> So now perhaps people in #ubuntu can support :)
[18:55] <wandr2k6> is there a channel dedicated to X11 configuration and support?
[18:55] <nomojob> what is the command for that?
[18:55] <Jack_Sparrow> nomojob: sudo nano   if needed
[18:55] <ikonia> Mark761966: so the answer is "no - not in the ubuntu repo"
[18:55] <nomojob> ok
[18:55] <iratiku> how do you change a disk's label?
[18:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Hi Pici
[18:55] <Mark761966> There are far too many programs in there that are just systray dockers
[18:56] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: Hi Jack
[18:56] <Altu59> I have a ThinkPad
[18:56] <ikonia> Mark761966: try then, experiement
[18:56] <bthornton> I'm currently running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and am thinking about upgrading to the latest 7.10 .  Can I go direct from 6.06 --> 7.10, or will I need to upgrade incrementally?
[18:56] <Altu59> how can I map the Alt-Gr key to Super?
[18:56] <sharperguy> any idea why when i try to compile stuff in anjuta the configure scripts gives some command not found errors on essential variables?
[18:56] <Pici> Mark761966: AWN (avant-window-navigator) is a fairly popular one now.  I dont believe theres a package in the repos for it though.
[18:56] <Mark761966> Okay
[18:56] <ikonia> Mark761966: check out gnome-looks.org and see the themes there then copy the effects in the details
[18:56] <Pici> bthornton: incrementally.
[18:56] <Mark761966> I downloaded AWN, but it won't show up on my desktop
[18:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Mark761966: look in home
[18:57] <Pici> bthornton: But 8.04 *should* have support for upgrading directly from 6.06 if you don't mind waiting a bit.
[18:57] <Altu59> Pici: is it possible to move AWN to the left of the screen?
[18:57] <nbarterd> I need libreadline.so.4, can I get this out of a .deb file?
[18:57] <ikonia> Sharpie: the error is pretty clear
[18:57] <Pici> Altu59: I dont know, I dont use AWN, sorry.
[18:57] <ompaul> bthornton, it is suggested to go incrementally - however I suggest you download a 7.10 disk and work from there - reason - less overall downloads
[18:57] <Altu59> np
[18:57] <Sharpie> ikonia: error?
[18:57] <ikonia> nbarterd: readline lib apcakge

[18:58] <RobJ> Hey guys...  im back with another problem :P
[18:58] <nbarterd> ikonia:
[18:58] <iratiku> there are disks in a computer .... /dev/hdd* right? and if you went to "Places>Computer" you would see the disks but they wouldn't be named hdd1, hdd2.. hda etc.. they would be named by labels ..... you can see the same association between labels and disks if you do ls -l /dev/disk/by-label ...... I can't change a label when i go to Places>Computer... how do i change a label (I've repartitioned hdd1 and the label still says /boot... which
[18:58] <nbarterd> -bash: readline: command not found
[18:58] <iratiku>  is innacurate) ..
[18:58] <ikonia> nbarterd: what
[18:58] <Sharpie> ikonia: just to be sure, is the following crontab valid? http://pastebin.com/d27b3cc85
[18:59] <ikonia> nbarterd: its not a command
[18:59] <Sharpie> ikonia: it's just the first time i've messed with it
[18:59] <ikonia> Sharpie: looks ok
[18:59] <nbarterd> didn't understand what you meant.
[18:59] <Sharpie> ikonia: alright, thx
[18:59] <Pici> nbarterd: libreadline is a library, not a program
[18:59] <ompaul> iratiku, you removed /boot while system was live?
[18:59] <proprietarysucks> can anyone tell me what the kernel option   --     does ?
[18:59] <bthornton> ahh... out of curiosity, I've got 6.06 running on a server.  is this the "Ubuntu recommended" version for servers or something?  I don't know why I assumed that the LTS (Long Term Support) meant it was better for high-uptime machines...
[18:59] <nbarterd> what's aptcakge?
[18:59] <Super-Sonic-Sega> that sounds like a dumb thing to do
[18:59] <RobJ> I've managed to install Ubuntu over my Kubuntu hdd... and i didnt have my xp hdd in, so grub didnt find xp....   I did a rescue install of ubuntu, i skipped to the GRUB install, but it installed the base system then went to grub install..  that sorted my xp-boot problem..  now when i boot into Ubuntu, it asks me to login.. It doesnt accept my login user / pass, so i typed in root to get terminal access..  what is the command to start the GUI?
[19:00] <ikonia> proprietarysucks: -- ?

[19:00] <kdt> hi can someone tell me where the directory for changing acpi at boot is?
[19:00] <ikonia> RobJ: you don't in failsafe mode
[19:00] <iratiku> ompaul: i've never seen "/boot" on this computer or any other ubuntu installation ...... i only saw "/boot" when i threw a new hard drive in the machine... all i'm trying to do is erase that drive

[19:01] <MilitantPotato> !factoids > militantpotato
[19:01] <RobJ> i typed root into the login box
[19:01] <ompaul> iratiku, /boot is needed - no /boot no operating system

[19:01] <RobJ> nope
[19:01] <CIS1987> What do I do?
[19:01] <ikonia> right - so it is recovery mode then
[19:01] <Denyerec> I followed this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingFromWinXP   -- From the XP machine, when I enter the IP and port, plus /printers/laserjet1300  Windows tells me it cannot connect.
[19:01] <iratiku> ompaul: "/boot" is the label.... not the folder on the main disk

[19:02] <RobJ> ikonia, i havent chosen recovery boot...   could it be because when i did the rescue install, i installed the base system but not the 'select and install software' ?
[19:02] <sharperguy> any idea why when i try to compile stuff in anjuta i get loads of "./configure line x: whatever_cflags_thing=cflags: command not found" type errors?
[19:02] <Sharpie> how can i run rsync recursively but ignore a folder called "Cache" which is inside the source folder?

[19:04] <ompaul> o tries to help
[19:04] <xu> then when i upgraded to feisty, it stopped being able to boot
[19:04] <Altu59> how can I map the Super key to the Alt-Gr on my thinkpad :( ?
[19:04] <xu> and then i tried continuing to upgrade to gutsy, and it still doesn't work
[19:04] <ikonia> xu: do  fresh install
[19:04] <xu> i haven't tried installing any drivers, and i'm not sure how from the command line
[19:04] <xu> of dapper?
[19:04] <ikonia> xu: no gusty
[19:04] <xu> i don't have a gutsy disk
[19:04] <ikonia> gutsy
[19:04] <clever> i cant get persistent booting to work right on ubuntu 7.04, looks like root_persistence isnt being set in the initrd scripts
[19:04] <ikonia> xu: download and burn one
[19:04] <bthornton> hmm... I think I might try to go from 6.06 --> 7.10 by shrinking my root fs (which is on an LVM), adding a new fs, and then just install 7.10 to the new root fs
[19:04] <Sharpie> how can i run rsync recursively but ignore a folder called "Cache" which is inside the source folder?
[19:04] <xu> don't have time right now?
[19:04] <ikonia> bthornton: I advise against that
[19:04] <RobJ> ikonia,   I'll start again, I installed Ubuntu onto my slave hdd. without my master hdd connected.  This caused XP (which is on my master hdd) not to be on the Grub bootloader,  I did a rescue install of ubuntu...  i skipped to installing grub, it installed the base system though, then went to grub.  Now when i boot into Ubuntu, it asks me to login..  it doesnt accept my username or password, but does accept "root"   -this is NOT recovery mode. =/
[19:04] <sharperguy> Pici, well i think tat might be a problem because when i tyr to compile it it doesn't find the include files, eg. gtkmm/main.h (i have all the correct gtkmm packages installed)
[19:04] <ikonia> xu: then do it later
[19:05] <xu> is there another way to fix
[19:05] <bthornton> ikonia: what, having the root fs be in an LVM?
[19:05] <xu> (it's my roommate's laptop, he's leaving for thanksgiving break in like an hour)
[19:05] <ikonia> xu: easier and quicker to re-install sounds like your upgrades have gone wrong
[19:05] <Jack_Sparrow> clever: persistent in feisty didnt work
[19:05] <ikonia> bthornton: no going from dapper to gutsy
[19:05] <ikonia> xu: you won't fix it in an hour
[19:05] <ikonia> xu: put dapper back on it you want it working quick
[19:05] <CIS1987> I did write this function in the terminal, but it got stuck at " lub-2.0.0.7z >/dev/null "
[19:06] <brandon_> sharperguy: ya good point I wasn't thinking about that the little symbol for wine was on it so I wasn
[19:06] <clever> Jack_Sparrow: yeah n can see why from the code(parts missing)
[19:06] <brandon_> t thinking how do I make it executable?  I dont see and permissions
[19:06] <Jack_Sparrow> clever: dapper works fine
[19:06] <bthornton> ikonia: oh.  well the way I'm proposing will make it such that Dapper is untouched and basically adds a fresh install of 7.10 .  I'd then "migrate" by copying select config files to the new install.  or are you suggesting that I should stick with Dapper regardless?
[19:06] <clever> Jack_Sparrow: i could compare it to other cd's but if 7.10 allreaady works i could just get the other cd
[19:06] <xu> ikonia: okay. i'm wondering if even a fresh install will have problems, though, since the chipset is new
[19:07] <ikonia> xu you said it worked, so no
[19:07] <Jack_Sparrow> clever: Honestly, have not tried it in gutsy
[19:07] <sharperguy> brandon_, (in gnome im assuming) right-clickm properties > permissions > allow executing as program
[19:07] <ikonia> bthornton stick with dapper, or do a clean install to gutsy
[19:07] <RobJ> I'll do a fresh ubuntu install, again =/
[19:07] <xu> ikonia: i meant of gutsy
[19:07] <clever> Jack_Sparrow: k
[19:07] <clever> Jack_Sparrow: i'll have to check my other disks(i have 3 ubuntu here)

[19:08] <ikonia> axjv as I said most likley down to your driver
[19:08] <ikonia> sudoer0: you need iptables to forward packet
[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> axjv: I assume that is an onboard video, how much regular ram and how much is being shared?
[19:09] <bluefox83> sudoer0, try samba
[19:09] <axjv> Jack_Sparrow: 1 GB ram, what do you mean shared?
[19:09] <ikonia> bluefox83: what are you talking about samba for internet connection sharing ?
[19:09] <loguser1> is there a p2p app that can by pass any router or firewall?
[19:09] <lili_1b> hi all
[19:09] <ikonia> loguser1: no
[19:09] <axjv> Jack_Sparrow: I read that compiz doesn't draw opengl apps to an offscreen pixmap
[19:09] <bluefox83> ooooh, internet connection sharing? uhm...yeah samba wont help for that >.>
[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> axjv: Onboard video uses your ram , usually the amount is set in the cmos
[19:09] <xu> aalright
[19:10] <sudoer0> ikonia, I did that... Destination unreachable.. so I though okay.. let's try it with a simple ping .. without any ICS... just pinging each other.. to no avail...
[19:10] <axjv> Jack_Sparrow: How would I check that?
[19:10] <izz> hi all. i need some help pretty desperately. i tried to run the live cd on my new macbook, and it worked, but then i couldnt get it to start back up in osx

[19:10] <CharlieSu> would anyone look at this http://pastebin.com/m408b8e2 and tell me why i can't get to port 993?  i'm trying to setup email
[19:10] <izz> so i thought i could start it with the osx disk that came with my computer but now it wont even start with that disk, and i cant get it out
[19:10] <bluefox83> i would also think you'd need a crossover cable instead of a switch, but what do i know >.>
[19:11] <Jack_Sparrow> axjv: Onboard video is NOT the best at many thing
[19:11] <SaintRock> Quick question, when installing Feisty 7.10 server, after the installation I'm trying to add GNOME, and it gets added but when doing startx it says /etc/X11/X is not found.  Does anyone have a guide how to install a XWindow environentm for Feisty Server ?
[19:11] <sanmarcos> when I do apt-cache policy on a package, I see three sources, the latter two with 999 priority and the first one and most updated from an unofficial source with 500 priority, how can I install that latest package? (upgrade wont do it because I pinned the other distro specific sources as 999 in /etc/apt/preferences)
[19:11] <axjv> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, but I thought intel cards were supported the best
[19:11] <grindcore> someone in UK bought laptop with preinstalled Ubuntu ???
[19:11] <ompaul> bluefox83, most modern network cards workout they should be on a cross over and compensate
[19:11] <bluefox83> SaintRock, try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
[19:11] <ompaul> grindcore, ask in #ubuntu-uk
[19:11] <Jack_Sparrow> axjv: It isnt an intel card, it is an intel chipset...  There are many versions variations
[19:12] <bluefox83> ompaul, really? very cool :O
[19:12] <axjv> Jack_Sparrow: Well, I have a 945gm if that helps
[19:12] <SaintRock> bluefox83, Thanks blue, appreciate it.  Anything else besides xserver-xorg ?
[19:12] <sudoer0> ikonia, XP: 192.168.2.1, 255.255.255.0, gw: 192.168.2.1 DNS:192.168.2.1, UBUNTU: ip:192.168.2.1,255.255.255.0, gw ??
[19:12] <Denyerec> !cups
[19:12] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[19:12] <ikonia> sudoer0: your xp and ubuntu box have the same ipaddress
[19:12] <izz> did anyone actually see my question
[19:12] <axjv> Jack_Sparrow: Also, here's an article about my problem and how the guy fixed it: http://hoegsberg.blogspot.com/2007/08/redirected-direct-rendering.html
[19:12] <bluefox83> SaintRock, i unno... you might just try installing "ubuntu-desktop"
[19:12] <nny> what package besides CUPS provides Ubuntu with the extra print drivers? I have CUPS, but no HP(foo?) i think it was called... need the additional driver package for most modernb printers
[19:12] <Denyerec> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows<<---- This does not work. Where do I turn to now ?
[19:12] <sudoer0> ikonia, sry typo... xp has 192.168.2.2
[19:13] <sudoer0> ikonia, what gateway should the ubuntu box have?
[19:13] <xu> ikonia: uh oh, now it's not working
[19:13] <SaintRock> bluefox83, Right.  I never worked with this distro, its all new to me, thanks, I appreciate it .
[19:13] <xu> "I810: No matching Device section for instance
[19:13] <bluefox83> SaintRock, no prob..i hope all that works for you
[19:13] <xu> i think it only worked in safe mode before, maybe?
[19:13] <ikonia> sudoer0: whatever your default gateway is
[19:13] <ompaul> sudoer0, the same one as the other box
[19:13] <ikonia> xu: you said it wasn't working before
[19:14] <sudoer0> ikonia, then it's the router 192.186.1.1
[19:14] <ikonia> sudoer0: but thats the ip of your XP box too
[19:14] <benzs_s> when does support for feisty end
[19:14] <nny> what package besides CUPS provides Ubuntu with the extra print drivers? I have CUPS, but no HP(foo?) i think it was called... need the additional driver package for most modernb printers
[19:14] <xu> ikonia: i am booting dapper now, and it is still giving me the same error (with more messed upness, actually)
[19:14] <sudoer0> ikonia, no xp has 192.168.2.2
[19:14] <xu> ikonia: i think maybe before when it worked in dapper i was booting in safe mode
[19:14] <ikonia> sudoer0: what is the ubuntu box ?
[19:14] <ompaul> sudoer0, that is not a great idea - they should be on the same subnet
[19:14] <sudoer0> ikonia, 192.168.2.1
[19:14] <sanmarcos> fuck you all
[19:14] <rapid> haha
[19:14] <bluefox83> nny, please stop repeating your question, obviously no one knows or they would have answered
[19:15] <sudoer0> ompaul, doing this with an ICS in mind
[19:15] <ikonia> sudoer0: thats why they can't see each other
[19:15] <P-avilion> im having some trouble getting my tv out with my nvidia card to work in ubuntu, any suggestions?.. im new to ubuntu
[19:15] <nny> bluefox83, how would you like me to phrase the question differently
[19:15] <Super-Sonic-Sega> is there a more stable windows emulator then wine
[19:15] <Creed> My Ubuntu box has no DNS abilities :S How can I restore it?
[19:15] <ompaul> sudoer0, they should both be on 192.168.1.* or 192.168.2.*
[19:15] <nny> bluefox83, and 2 times is not "keep repeating" oh dramatic one
[19:15] <ikonia> Creed: whats happened
[19:15] <randomoutburst> hey i was wondering if someone could help me with a hardware issue?
[19:16] <nomojob> Does anyone know how to help me with the GRUB error 21 message when booting?
[19:16] <sudoer0> ompaul, ok if I want to connect them together.. but not if I want to create an ICS right?
[19:16] <Creed> ikonia, no idea, I cant ping any fqdn's
[19:16] <randomoutburst> it doesnt really have anything to do with ubuntu though
[19:16] <ikonia> Creed: resolve.conf ?
[19:16] <romme> how to change my mac address while installing ubuntu?
[19:16] <ja2> is it just me or did the source - o matic page shrink ?
[19:16] <ikonia> romme: you don't
[19:16] <SaintRock> P-avilion, What kind of trouble.. usually you just d/l the driver that maches your card and OS, and you install it in text mode and startx again.
[19:16] <mkz> not exactly a ubuntu question, but maybe someone knows: how can I query my intranet for all ip addresses currently active with host names?
[19:16] <brandon_> nny: go to add and remove and do a search on printer
[19:16] <ja2> like where is the 500 repos ?
[19:16] <Creed> ikonia, IP's fine, no names resolve. Either by using my DNS server or opendns. resolve.conf has 10.0.1.1, and 2 of the opendns ones listed.
[19:16] <Denyerec> Could the firewall be blocking the cups port ?
[19:16] <Creed> ikonia, nslookup resolves domains fine, ping doesnt.
[19:16] <brandon_> nny: I mean print
[19:16] <romme> ikonia: why?
[19:16] <ompaul> mkz, install nmap and check out its docs
[19:17] <sudoer0> ompaul, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html#more-182 <-- I did exactly what was mentioned here.. didn't work.. always destination unreachable
[19:17] <Super-Sonic-Sega> is there a more stable windows emulator then wine?
[19:17] <ikonia> romme: you don't change your mac adddress
[19:17] <Denyerec> sudoer - same issue with CUPS printing
[19:17] <nny> brandon_, thanks, but the cups system on here has a limited driver database. I am just downloading the ppd for the printer. This is not a full Ubuntu install, hence the questrion
[19:17] <Denyerec> Follow instructions --> fail
[19:17] <ikonia> Creed:what dns servers are you using
[19:17] <brandon_> super-sonic-sega: yes but you have to pay for it
[19:17] <Super-Sonic-Sega> f that -.-
[19:17] <romme> ikonia: it's not registered at my isp. i bought a new laptop so it has another mac address.
[19:17] <Creed> ikonia, local BIND server and Opendns.org listed as alternatives.
[19:17] <ikonia> romme: speak to your ip
[19:17] <ikonia> romme: isp
[19:18] <ikonia> Creed: ok - so firs things first do you have a caching name server setup locally ?
[19:18] <brandon_> nny: I see did fully understand Ic lol Im parcially new as well add-remove has been a godsend for me so I thought it sould be for you to
[19:18] <romme> the tech support guy told me to change my mac address
[19:18] <ompaul> sudoer0, well in that case both boxes would be on the same subnet
[19:18] <ikonia> romme: he's wrong
[19:18] <nny> brandon_, yeah i undretsand that :)
[19:18] <axjv> Does anyone know how to get rid of the unsightly flickering when using glxgears with compiz?
[19:18] <romme> i still don't get what's bad about changing it
[19:18] <pike_> romme: only temp alternative is to change the lappy mac with a sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether oldmacaddrress
[19:18] <ikonia> axjv: probably a driver issue
[19:18] <Creed> ikonia, I completely removed bind (and 10.0.1.1 from my nameservers list) atm, first want to give the server name resolution again.
[19:18] <ompaul> romme, you can't in 99% of cases
[19:18] <romme> i've done it before, worked perfectly
[19:18] <TFrog> just out of curiousity, has anyone got gutsy installed with windows vista on the same drive?
[19:19] <axjv> ikonia: I don't think so, I heard it was a feature of compiz: http://hoegsberg.blogspot.com/2007/08/redirected-direct-rendering.html
[19:19] <ikonia> Creed: so whats your resolv.conf look like
[19:19] <brandon_> nny: what all have you done so far?
[19:19] <nny> brandon_, i found a .deb package on brothers site with the cups drivers.. normally Ubuntu ships with a full list, but this is just the cups package, without the extra drivers. Was trying to figure out *what* the name of that packlage wa
[19:19] <randomoutburst> i just got a laptop with vista preinstalled. i tried to install xp and before the installation screen comes up right after i boot my laptop on, the screen goes blue, not the BSOD, and says check your system for viruses remove any new installed hdd, check your harddisk and make sure its configured blah blah blah, but i can install ubuntu 7.10 just fine any ideas why i cant install xp?
[19:19] <nny> package was*
[19:19] <Denyerec> Someone should tag https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows as broken.
[19:19] <romme> pike_: the problem is, ifconfig in busybox isn't capable of changing the mac address
[19:19] <Creed> ikonia, nameserver 208.67.222.222 | nameserver 208.67.220.220
[19:19] <mkz> ompaul: got it, thanks
[19:19] <brandon_> nny: ic
[19:19] <romme> so if i just do ifconfig ethX hw ether blablabla, nothing happens
[19:19] <axjv> ikonia: Err, I mean aiglx
[19:19] <ikonia> Creed: ok - thats good, whats your gateway, can it get to and use those dns servers ?
[19:19] <nny> brandon_, and yeah, cups system rocks for printers.. easier than win IMHO, and i have to set up a lot of win printing
[19:19] <romme> how do i change my mac address using the /proc filesystem?
[19:19] <ikonia> axjv: probably a driver issue
[19:20] <axjv> ...
[19:20] <mkz> ompaul: any clue how to return host names as well?  nmap -sP 192.168.x.* will return active IP addresses but no host names.
[19:20] <ikonia> romme: you don't
[19:20] <brandon_> nny: ic well sorry I don't know more about this
[19:20] <dzb> Does anybody in here have experiance with ipcop in vmware server?
[19:20] <sudoer0> ompaul, eth1 (inet) has any address from the router... eth0 (to windows xp client, 192.168.2.1).. windows XP (192.168.2.2).. so is that plain wrong?
[19:20] <ompaul> mkz, then you do host for every ip
[19:20] <randomoutburst> ? any help?
[19:20] <Creed> ikonia, no matter what DNS servers I tell it to use, it cant resolve anything. my gateway is set to 10.0.1.100 which is my dsl modem.
[19:20] <void^> randomoutburst: xp might be missing drivers for your sata controller - but ask in ##windows.
[19:20] <romme> ikonia: what's bad in changing the mac address if it works and i'm doing it legally?
[19:20] <ikonia> romme: doing it legally ?
[19:20] <mkz> ompaul: ok
[19:20] <randomoutburst> ahh thanks!
[19:21] <Jack_Sparrow> randomoutburst: usually sata driver
[19:21] <ikonia> Creed: thats odd, can you give me a host your trying to look up ?
[19:21] <randomoutburst> but the vista disk wont install either?
[19:21] <Creed> ikonia, google.com, msn, anything
[19:21] <Jack_Sparrow> randomoutburst: You can also look in bios/cmos to make sata look like ide
[19:21] <ikonia> Creed: ok - do a look up and give me the ip address it returns
[19:21] <romme> ikonia: i told, i bought a new laptop today and installing ubuntu on it. my isp bound me to my old machine's mac address, so while i was in the preinstalled windows vista, i changed my mac address and it worked.
[19:22] <nomojob> Does anyone know how to help me with the GRUB error 21 message when booting?
[19:22] <ikonia> romme register your ip address with your isp
[19:22] <Creed> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m7e4b5881
[19:22] <izz> can someone help?
[19:22] <ompaul> romme, your isp bound you to a mac address -- register your new mac address with them
[19:22] <romme> ikonia: why just won't you say that you don't know how to do that?
[19:23] <greencoo3ie> Can anyone tell me how to install audacity 1.4.2 via apt?
[19:23] <ompaul> romme, you don't change mac addresses there is a unique one for every network card on planet earth
[19:23] <ikonia> Creed: looks like opendns is being a pain
[19:23] <greencoo3ie> I downloaded the zip file i just cant install it via GUI.
[19:23] <romme> obviously, i don't want to call them right now, it's 22:23 PM and they are impossible to call
[19:23] <ikonia> thats not the addresses for google.com
[19:23] <ikonia> Creed: its altering the dns names
[19:23] <romme> so what? only one laptop is plugged into the network right now
[19:23] <Jack_Sparrow> romme: Changing your mac address is not something most people do, nor should they.  I can and have changed mine.
[19:23] <nomojob> Pici?
[19:23] <Pici> nomojob: ?
[19:23] <Creed> ikonia, its resolving fine, even with qwests or 4.2.2.2 as my dns server things still dont resolve using ping, but do using nslookup.
[19:24] <nomojob> Do you know how to help me with the GRUB error 21 message when booting?
[19:24] <romme> Jack_Sparrow: how can this be done without using ifconfig?
[19:24] <greencookie> How does one install audacious 1.4.2? its not in synaptic.
[19:24] <ikonia> Creed: google.con is not 208.67.216.231
[19:24] <Jack_Sparrow> romme: I used a windows program to do it.
[19:24] <Pici> nomojob: no, and if I did, I don't have the time to help right now, sorry :(
[19:24] <ikonia> Creed: why is it resolving google as goole.navigation.opendns.com ?
[19:24] <Creed> ikonia, google is http://208.67.216.230/, its one of the many IP's google.com resolves to.
[19:24] <RobD> romme: if you're sure then you can edit /etc/network/interfaces and add the line "hwaddress ether 01:02:03:04:05:06" under the adaptor
[19:25] <ikonia> Creed: yes, I see but odd how its not showing up in my list
[19:25] <Creed> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m2eb4e5fb heres one using 4.2.2.2 as my DNS
[19:25] <RobD> romme: with the mac addy of your other PC obviously
[19:25] <romme> Jack_Sparrow: i actually doubt that a windows program will work while installing ubuntu
[19:25] <greencookie> Does anyone use audacious?
[19:26] <fsckr> question....is there a way to add/delete items from the place menu at the top right of my gnome-panel?
[19:26] <randomoutburst> so how would i make sata look like ide in bios jack?
[19:26] <grindcore> ikonia - i need to burn ubuntu disc at speed 4x ???
[19:26] <Denyerec> Can anyone here reliably share a printer to a windows machine using CUps on Ubuntu 7.10 ? the guide does not work.
[19:26] <ikonia> grindcore: I don't know, do you ?
[19:26] <fsckr> Denyerec, ive had no problems sharing a printer
[19:26] <Denyerec> fsckr - I followed the wilki guide, and windows tells me it cannot connect.
[19:26] <Soccrmastr> hello there
[19:27] <romme> RobD: there is no /etc/network/interfaces while installing ubuntu
[19:27] <fsckr> Denyerec, do you have samba installed?
[19:27] <Denyerec> Yeo
[19:27] <Denyerec> samba and cups
[19:27] <grindcore> ikonia :D this is why i asking - i found some faqs about my laptop and somebody there was saying ''burn at 4x''... :)
[19:27] <ikonia> sanmarcos: romme stop trying to change your mac address
[19:27] <ikonia> oops
[19:27] <ikonia> romme: stop trying to change your mac address
[19:27] <ikonia> grindcore up to you, I've never burnt at 4x
[19:27] <Jack_Sparrow> romme: Obviously, you think you know what you are doing.  Good luck with that.
[19:27] <Soccrmastr> Can someone tell me or poitn em to somewhere on how to diagnos a HDD problem? My Motherboard seems to have stopped detecting my HDD and I'm Ubuntu 7.04 LIveCD right now
[19:28] <ikonia> Soccrmastr: your motherboard ? can you see the disks in the bios ?
[19:28] <greencookie> Guys anyone know how to install audacious 1.4.2 from command line? I tried sudo apt-get install audacious-1.4.2 but looks like its wrong package name.
[19:28] <romme> do you doubt i'm doing it legally?
[19:28] <EvilBro> Being stupid I've just deleted '/bin'... this was obviously a mistake (I wanted to delete another dir called bin, but happened to be in the root without noticing). How do I fix this? (CD? copy bin from another ubuntu?)
[19:28] <ikonia> romme: this is ubuntu support - nothing to do with mac address changing, can you please drop the topic
[19:28] <romme> and i'm trying to steal someone else's network connection?
[19:28] <fsckr> Denyerec, i dunno....i really didn't have to do anything to share it other than enable it and install samaba
[19:28] <fsckr> samba
[19:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Soccrmastr: chaeck out hirens cd or ultimate bood cd..
[19:28] <ikonia> EvilBro: re-install or restore from backup
[19:28] <Denyerec> How do you fin the printer?
[19:28] <Denyerec> Do you browse for it, or type the IP in direct ?
[19:28] <grindcore> ikonia which speed u use ?
[19:28] <ikonia> grindcore: 48
[19:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Soccrmastr: Did you add any other drive or hardware change
[19:29] <fsckr> system>administration>printers
[19:29] <Soccrmastr> ikonia: The BIOS sees my two CD drives, but doesn't seem to have a boot up option for IDE=0, which is my hard drive. But Im not even sure if it ever had that
[19:29] <Denyerec> When I try to browse, I see the machine, but no printers show up.
[19:29] <EvilBro> ikonia: will reinstalling destroy all my settings? or is there a repair option?
[19:29] <fsckr> i just browsed to it on windows
[19:29] <brandon_> well I installed AA but now when I go into the game its just a black screen but I hear noise does that mean that my graphics card doesn't support ir?
[19:29] <fsckr> then right clicked and clicked connect
[19:29] <ikonia> EvilBro: there is a reapri option, but it will probably re-install your settings to as your missing /bin
[19:29] <Soccrmastr> Nope, just one day like BIOS hung for a while, then booted up. Now it doesnt even boot up to it
[19:29] <Creed> ikonia, Im just gonna back up anything I need and reinstall 7.10, I have a pretty bad install anyway.
[19:29] <ikonia> Creed: somethings very wrong, tough to figure out what though
[19:30] <EvilBro> ikonia: Aren't my settings in /etc?
[19:30] <ikonia> Soccrmastr: looks like a hardware isse
[19:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Soccrmastr: SOunds like a bad drive to me
[19:30] <brandon_> well I installed AA but now when I go into the game its just a black screen but I hear the music does that mean that my graphics card doesn't support it?  and I can move the mouse around and click on things.
[19:30] <ikonia> EvilBro: yes some of them are but it will re-install the packages wich come with the config files so will re-install them now
[19:30] <grindcore> ikonia - fast one ;)
[19:30] <ikonia> brandon_: look on the AA webstie for support
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> brandon_: I found several games that needed a command line option to change the screen res.
[19:31] <ArthurArchnix> romme: I'm not sure how the forum admins would look upon giving general advice on the subject. So just use http://www.google.com/linux
[19:31] <Soccrmastr> WOuld you guys happen to know a way I can attempt to read the drive from this LiveCD?
[19:31] <ikonia> Soccrmastr: how can you attempt to read the disk ?
[19:31] <Sharpie> um, my cron jobs aren't running (the ones i put in crontab) =[
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Soccrmastr: look at the drive with gparted
[19:31] <ikonia> Sharpie: whats up
[19:32] <Sharpie> ikonia: the commands didn't run
[19:32] <greencookie> whats the audacious 1.4.2 package called in apt-get
[19:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Soccrmastr: See if it can see/find your partitions
[19:32] <ikonia> Sharpie: show me the crontb again please
[19:33] <Sharpie> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/d7339c2e9
[19:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Soccrmastr: I saw a note yesterday about a virus that eats the boot sector and destroys drives.  Did you have any emai about a card from a friend
[19:33] <Sharpie> ikonia: do you have to like..activate the cron?
[19:33] <Soccrmastr> Nah I don't have any viruses I doubt it. I've had some HDD problems like this in the past though. Most likely hardware as you said.
[19:34] <Soccrmastr> What is the gparted command for displaying partitions?
[19:34] <cokeslut> you tell me ;)
[19:34] <ikonia> Sharpie: don't need quotes, sorry
[19:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Soccrmastr: in the menu, system-admin
[19:34] <dn> how can i make sure my moblock is updating every day? i'm not sure where to find the cron logs for it
[19:34] <ikonia> Sharpie: my mistake, just checked it against my own
[19:34] <Sharpie> ikonia: hm, i'll try
[19:34] <ikonia> Sharpie: my mistake, sorry
[19:34] <twopt0> I just installed an updated tzdata from the gutsy-proposed updates.  Its installation script is broken, and I can't roll back to an earlier version (earlier versions also break)
[19:34] <Sharpie> ikonia: yeah, got it, np, it didn't burn my house down :P
[19:34] <Whisperkiller> how do i get agpgart?
[19:34] <Soccrmastr> does the LiveCD run as root
[19:35] <ikonia> Sharpie: my mistake, should have checked more thorough
[19:35] <genii> No, not as root
[19:35] <ikonia> Soccrmastr: yes.....sort of
[19:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Soccrmastr: sort of...
[19:35] <genii> Though there is no sudo passwd

[20:16] <ArthurArchnix> Nicolad, what you want to do is prevent an icon from being disaplayed by the notification applet in gnome panel.
[20:16] <juano__> nomojob: are you using live cd ?
[20:16] <nomojob> yea
[20:16] <scar> at least, it is for me. and I just installed it like 10 minutes ago
[20:16] <ArthurArchnix> nicolah: See comment above,
[20:16] <juano__> nomojob: or are you at other pc at the moment ?
[20:17] <nomojob> nope, on the PC that im fixing
[20:17] <sylverfox> thanks genii!!!
[20:17] <ArthurArchnix> nicolah: I say that since I'm looking into it right now, but in case you wanted to try searching for the answer on the forums or web, those search terms might come in handy.

[20:18] <juano__> nomojob: ok, so your in live cd ?
[20:18] <nomojob> yes
[20:18] <|NeMewSys|> (juano__) i did that but the highest resolution that the panel shows is 1024x768 :S
[20:19] <josh__> ok that didn't work
[20:19] <void^> barret: gedit &

[20:19] <beerfan> barret: "program &"
[20:19] <Xteven> hi, can anyone tell me how I can get gfxboot working ? there are no manpages in that package...

[20:19] <|NeMewSys|> :/
[20:19] <juano__> |NeMewSys|: where it sais model, you should check the model of your monitor and make it match one in the big list when you select model
[20:20] <nomojob> juano__: yes, im on Lice CD right now

[20:20] <juano__> nomojob: ok, first you have to mount your root partition, have you done that ?
[20:20] <|NeMewSys|> what irc-client do you recommend?
[20:20] <juano__> |NeMewSys|: for windows ?
[20:20] <MasterShrek`> |NeMewSys|: xchat is good, if u want a cli based use irssi
[20:21] <juano__> |NeMewSys|: or for linux ?
[20:21] <blackbo1> NeMewSys - - I suggest PIDGIN
[20:21] <juano__> blackbo1: thats the spirit
[20:21] <nomojob> juano__: I went through the partitioner during installation.  I thought I did it right, but things were kind of vague and unclear
[20:21] <Soccrmastr> Chatzilla firefox plugin
[20:21] <Soccrmastr> very easy to use
[20:22] <nomojob> juano__: how can I tell if I did it right?
[20:22] <juano__> nomojob: well sudo fdisk -l should list you all of your partitions
[20:22] <juano__> nomojob: but launch gparted
[20:22] <juano__> nomojob: alt + f2 , then gparted
[20:22] <nomojob> juano__: did you look at that pastebin in your PM?
[20:22] <juano__> nomojob: there itll scan your disks and show you your partition layout
[20:23] <nomojob> ok

[20:25] <SaintRock> When I do apt-get install ... how can I view the list of all the packages.  Where is this listing located on an installed machine. When the server connects to the repository it gets the list, I jsut wanna know where its located so I KNOW what to type when I want to pick my packages ....
[20:25] <MasterShrek`> nomojob use sudo
[20:25] <nomojob> ok
[20:25] <BassKozz> Anyone here using vnc4server?
[20:25] <MasterShrek`> SaintRock: use aptitude, its a cli based front end to apt-get
[20:26] <nomojob> got it
[20:26] <juano__> nomojob: ok
[20:26] <jdong> SaintRock: apt-cache dumpavail will print out all 25,000 packages, but is probably not useful for a human
[20:26] <juano__> nomojob: yep you gotta sudo there
[20:26] <jdong> SaintRock: as suggested use aptitude or Synaptic to more effectively browser/search
[20:26] <SaintRock> MasterShrek, Thanks!  I will check it out..
[20:26] <SaintRock> jdong, Thanks!
[20:26] <MasterShrek`> SaintRock: yes and synaptic for a gui based one
[20:26] <egyn> Hi, i've recently discovered a problem. Booted up my acer notebook today when ubuntu gave me a message "PCI: MSI quirk detected. MSI deactivated". After that the booting sequence halts. Have googled around a little but cant seem to find a good explanation. Any ideas?
[20:27] <MasterShrek`> egyn: is that on a live cd or an install?
[20:27] <beerfan> SaintRock: also, "apt-cache search foo" works from commandline
[20:28] <coryandbrittany> what do u use to open the .deb file
[20:28] <egyn> MasterShrek: it is on an install
[20:28] <scguy318> coryandbrittany: open it as an archive or install it?
[20:28] <jimjam> I needed to fix grub, so I set it up on the MBR. How can I get it so that my /boot folder works again?
[20:28] <MasterShrek`> coryandbrittany: you dont open a deb file, you install it
[20:28] <beerfan> coryandbrittany: gdebi or double-click on it
[20:28] <MasterShrek`> egyn: tried booting failsafe?
[20:28] <taz_> hi   please help me to find where ... it have wobbly ..but i cant remember which one at system or applications ???
[20:28] <scguy318> MasterShrek`: you could open it, but not all that useful
[20:28] <coryandbrittany> how do u install it
[20:28] <MasterShrek`> !grub | jimjam
[20:28] <ubotu> jimjam: 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

[20:29] <taz_> hi   please help me to find where ... it have wobbly ..but i cant remember which one at system or applications ???
[20:29] <MasterShrek`> egyn: im not really sure, its obviously a hardware issue. are you using 7.10?
[20:29] <G-Lin> :)
[20:30] <ArthurArchnix> nicolah: This link suggests what you are trying to do is not possible https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/85585

[20:32] <egyn> MasterShrek: i too suspect a hardware issue
[20:32] <SaintRock> beerfan, MasterShrek` jdong Ok guys, thanks so much for all the commands. What Im trying to do here is install Feisty Server 64 bit but I need to install the GOME desktop, but a minimalistic version of GNOME.  apt-get install ubuntu-desktop does the job but it puts way too much stuff that's never gonna be used.  apt-get install xserver-xorg and apg-get install gnome do the trick but now I need to install some fonts to startx  .. Is there a doc th
[20:32] <SaintRock> at explains how to install a minimal version of GNOME on Feisty Server ?
[20:32] <coryandbrittany> it didnt work
[20:32] <beerfan> SaintRock: Gnome is not a "minimalistic" anything, for a server
[20:32] <nicolah> thanks ArthurArchnix
[20:32] <MasterShrek`> egyn: i dunno what to tell you really, thats strange that the livecd would work but not after the install. did this problem just show up out of the blue, or is this the first time youve booted?
[20:33] <jimmygoon> I need to strip the first 7 characters off of each line in a file... how does I do that
[20:33] <egyn> MasterShrek: oh, i havent tested the live cd yet
[20:33] <MasterShrek`> SaintRock: gnome is about as far from minimalistic as you can get
[20:33] <SaintRock> beerfan, I know... this is a requrements from the customer cause they wanna VNC to it..  I found my answer tho.
[20:33] <Tomi_G> juano__: Error, something like "Wrong device selected"
[20:33] <SaintRock> MasterShrek`, Then can you give me  a doc that installs a WORKING xwindowed environment.... ?
[20:33] <egyn> MasterShrek: i'll do so right away. I assume that it is a hardware issue and that i have to send it somewhere
[20:33] <beerfan> SaintRock: so install Ubuntu desktop, and the server apps you need
[20:34] <blackbo1> does anyone know how to get a game called Civilization working under WINE
[20:34] <beerfan> blackbo1: Civ1?
[20:34] <nomojob> juano__: you there still?
[20:34] <MasterShrek`> egyn: i was unclear before, does this problem persist in windows as well?
[20:34] <ihate88> why using ubuntu for a minimalistic server anyway? ;p
[20:34] <blackbo1> i think so
[20:34] <SaintRock> beerfan, Or remove those tht I dont need... :)  Thanks for the help regardless
[20:34] <juano__> MasterShrek yep or just simply double click it
[20:34] <scguy318> blackbo1: have you checked the AppDb?
[20:34] <MasterShrek`> SaintRock: not really, just install a window manager and a vnc server
[20:34] <SpeakerMania> I just installed jEdit, but when I try to run it, it just says loading in the bottom panel then closes. ???

[20:35] <SaintRock> MasterShrek`, Window manager ?   What would be the apt-get install for that ??
[20:35] <juano__> Tomi_G: try changing hd0,5 to another, i think you want hd0,4
[20:35] <beerfan> blackbo1: Civ1 is super old. Civ4 runs with minor glitches
[20:35] <juano__> nomojob: are your partitions right ?
[20:35] <blackbo1> thanks. One more question blackboi how do you do that where you keep changing the name everytime you type
[20:36] <ArthurArchnix> nicolah: I *may* have found a workaround. I can't find any documentation on this, so create a new user to test this.
[20:36] <nomojob> juano__: what am i looking for?
[20:36] <MasterShrek`> SaintRock: depends on what you want, fluxbox is a very streamlined window manager
[20:36] <juano__> nomojob: cause you told me you wanted to see if your partitions were right
[20:36] <juano__> nomojob: cause you werent sure bout the installer
[20:36] <juano__> nomojob: so there you could see if all partitions are still there
[20:36] <nomojob> juano__: let me tell you what i'm looking at.

[20:38] <bakarat> on my desktop computer, it will simply not start it seems, but it doesn't output any errors on start/restart either
[20:39] <juano__> nomojob: nomojob good, so your root partition is mounted

[20:44] <ArthurArchnix> nicolah: You have two options. (1)  do "gksudo gedit /usr/share/app-install/desktop/nm-applet.desktop" and delete the iconname, so that it just says "icon=" then is blank. (2) You can try disabling the applet from being loaded on the panel in gconf. This is the relevant key, /apps/panel/global/disabled_applets But I can't tell you what to put in here or what it might do. Safer to try the first way, though you should write down the

[20:53] <blackbo1> SaintRock you could always hit CTRL + ALT + F1

[20:53] <egyn> MasterShrek: Yes the problem persits in windows. However i managed to get it running again when i unplugged the ram/hd/ethernet and connected them again. i'll see how long it'll work. i suspsect a hardwarefailure in the future.
[20:54] <angasule> umh, probably weird question, but does anyone here have a webcam go es and got it working on linux? it's pretty old, I know
[20:55] <SaintRock> blackbo1, Hehe, ya.. that works well, press CTRL-C and you no longer need fluxbox now do you... :)

[20:56] <mickvdv> !question
[20:56] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[20:58] <JohnnyBlazer> i have a serious problem.
[20:58] <knoppix_2000> I tried adding another monitor on my laptop. The auto detection wasn't accurate so I looked it up manually. Once I did that my laptop's monitor got screwy. Once I restarted everything the system boots without a desktop or a prompt
[20:58] <jimjam> I have a weird problem: On log on, I get a message saying that "user's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored ... File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users." Normally I'd chown/chmod this, but any sudo command returns a "must be setuid root." error. Any way to fix this?
[20:58] <knoppix_2000> I'm new to linux so I don't know the commands
[20:58] <mickvdv> bye

[21:00] <Adriel> Hello, i have succesfully installed ubuntu 7.10 and i notice while copying files from my windows desktop the speed seems to be kind of slow. Is that normal?
[21:01] <Xteven> where can I find some ubuntu developers ? or someone who knows how to build an ubuntu CD with gfxboot/isolinux ?
[21:01] <knoppix_2000> Actually, I'd rather just get my desktop back. screw the monitor. :(

[21:01] <Adriel> ah ok
[21:01] <blackbo1> Adriel, yes it takes some time to move files depending on the size, whether its between partitions or if you told it to do so during the install
[21:01] <blackbo1> but yes
[21:02] <Adriel> well i am new to linux, thx for the reply
[21:03] <blackbo1> Knoppix, so you're at a command line

[21:03] <dennis__> Hello I'm new at this channel, but I hope somebody could help me. I have installed Ubuntu 7.10 Server edition. My problem is that the pppoe connection hangs up after a while. when I print out the syslog there are a few entry with eth1 up eth1 down and in the messages log are some entries with: pppd timeout waiting for PADO
[21:03] <knoppix_2000> yes. I also noticed that if I typed "ubuntu" at the command line it would start the ubuntu shutdown sequence and say it's shutting down KDE.
[21:03] <Masterslave> hi all, my friend has a problem with gutsy, can't play DVDs. when he launch Totem or gxine it crashes, he has all the Gstreamer plugins and he has follwed this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#head-4358a6af06301016427e652b21423518b863b480.

[21:07] <BloodyTux> ?
[21:07] <max_> can someone help me with bringing up lirc remote on a built in SIR????? PLEASE!!!!!
[21:07] <semperfi1uy> is there a lighter terminal then gnome-terminal that suppports copy and paste?
[21:07] <VSpike> the fast user switcher seems to be a bit broken - it appears to switch me to the wrong vt
[21:07] <frost0> juano__. could you help me finish my script?
[21:07] <digitalvaldosta> ok
[21:07] <juano__> frost0: yea
[21:08] <erUSUL> semperfi1uy: urxvt ? copy and paste selecting and with middle click

[21:08] <Masterslave> semperfi1uy, ctrl+shift+v ?
[21:08] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> hi guys, I'm using a bttv capture card connected to an analog camera and the video resulting from that camera is a bit weird:  the bottom half of the video is green and the top half is in grayscale.... anyone know how to fix?
[21:08] <BloodyTux> VSpike, thanks.
[21:08] <Tomi_G> juano_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45411/
[21:08] <Tomi_G> juano_: brb
[21:08] <Xteven> where else could I go for help ?
[21:08] <semperfi1uy> MasterSlave: I was looking for a different terminal that runs faster than gnome-terminal
[21:08] <max_> PLEASE HELP!!
[21:08] <semperfi1uy> erUSUL: urxvt has copy and pasting? okay I will give that a try thanks
[21:08] <Masterslave> semperfi1uy, ok, is gnome-terminal slow then....?
[21:09] <frost0> juano__, could you give me the script with both killing the apps and restoring them?
[21:09] <frost0> juano__, or one of each...whatever works..
[21:09] <semperfi1uy> Masterslave: yes on my old piece of junk :) It takes about 5-8seconds to start, which is kinda annoying for a terminal
[21:09] <digitalvaldosta> how do you give full permissions (from the CLI) to user1 and allow sudo user the same
[21:09] <soundray> Xteven: try #ubuntu-devel
[21:09] <Masterslave> semperfi1uy, ok true ;-)
[21:09] <juano__> frost0: sure let me pastebin you the first one, i still gotta check out the second one
[21:10] <frost0> juano__, thank you
[21:10] <Masterslave> hi all, my friend has a problem with gutsy, can't play DVDs. when he launch Totem or gxine it crashes, he has all the Gstreamer plugins and he has follwed this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#head-4358a6af06301016427e652b21423518b863b480. Anyone any suggestions?
[21:10] <BloodyTux> !patience | max
[21:10] <Xteven> soundray: thx
[21:10] <ubotu> max: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[21:10] <semperfi1uy> Masterslave: also another gripe I have with it is the colors dont contrast enough with a white on black.
[21:10] <soundray> digitalvaldosta: don't give any user "full permissions" please. It's very likely to mess things up.
[21:11] <juano__> frost0: how do you load the game ? from where or what command do u use ?
[21:11] <Masterslave> semperfi1uy, ok
[21:11] <soundray> Masterslave: to give a user sudo privileges, add him/her to the admin group: 'sudo adduser name admin'
[21:11] <digitalvaldosta> well i tried chmod 777 file
[21:11] <VSpike> It's wierd - switch to my wife's session always works fine, but when I switch back to mine I end up at a text login... but if I press ctrl-alt-F10, I get my session back.
[21:11] <digitalvaldosta> and that didn't work
[21:11] <frost0> juano__, here is the tricky thing...i use a server monitor...
[21:11] <soundray> digitalvaldosta: if it's on a single file, try 'sudo chmod 777 file'
[21:11] <VSpike> The one in kdm/kde/kubuntu always worked OK
[21:11] <digitalvaldosta> VSpike : I usually have to hit either F7 or F9
[21:12] <ArthurArchnix> soundray: Whatever happened to the wheel group
[21:12] <Tomi_G> juano__: again, same
[21:12] <frost0> juano__, but the game itself is from /usr/games/enemy-territory2.60b/et
[21:12] <rabidweezle> I want to gzip all the files in a directory so each one gets it's own .gz, how would I do this?
[21:12] <VSpike> digitalvaldosta: that's what puzzled me - in kde they used to go F7, F8, ....
[21:12] <frost0> juano__, or its mod tc:e /usr/games/enemy-territory2.60b/tc-elite
[21:12] <VSpike> digitalvaldosta: in this, they seem to be working backwards from F10
[21:12] <soundray> ArthurArchnix: darned if I know. I haven't seen this since the glorious days of bo and hamm
[21:12] <rabidweezle> basically I am gzipping a bunch of quake bsp's to .gz, what command?
[21:12] <juano__> frost0: you run tc-elite to run the game right ?
[21:13] <frost0> juano__, their two different games...
[21:13] <frost0> juano__, one is modded...
[21:13] <juano__> frost0: aahh
[21:13] <juano__> frost0: ok
[21:13] <erUSUL> semperfi1uy: all x terminals have copy paste if you do it the traditional X way selecting text copies it if you middle click you paste in the position of the cursor
[21:13] <frost0> juano__, but i use the server monitor to connect and look at servers... :(
[21:13] <frost0> juano__, which is xqf
[21:13] <delfos> hi, i need to setup dual monitor in ubuntu and have read to type in: sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx.
[21:13] <delfos> Could this missconfigure the actual 3D aceleration and blank my screen?
[21:14] <juano__> frost0: ok, what do you run for the server monitor ?
[21:14] <juano__> Tomi_G: darn
[21:14] <Bupuntu> hi
[21:14] <digitalvaldosta> soundray: ive done that but what I am basically talking about is that if i run chmod 777 with or without sudo on a picture file and look at its icon with a user that doesn't own it it shows some crazy default icon. but if i use chown it show me the picture as an icon
[21:14] <juano__> Tomi_G: weird ... should boot
[21:14] <Bupuntu> guys i have an issue i cannot understand
[21:14] <Masterslave> nobody has any ideas for my dvd playback problem?
[21:14] <frost0> juano__, its just xqf in the terminal
[21:14] <juano__> frost0: just type xqf ?
[21:14] <jebblue> rabidweezle for i in /bin; do ls -lh $i; done
[21:14] <RobJ> Hey...   I've installed Ubuntu (again) using OEM-install. I used 'sudo oem-config
[21:14] <RobJ> in terminal to install...
[21:14] <frost0> juano__, yep
[21:15] <Bupuntu> when i had feisty, i was using a program called streamerone, and it was working perfectly, then updated and still working
[21:15] <juano__> frost0: ok
[21:15] <jebblue> rabidweezle chg ls -lh to the command u want lke gzip
[21:15] <RobJ> now when i try log in with the new account it says 'your session only lasted less than ten seconds...'
[21:15] <Bupuntu> when i reinstalled from scrap the 7.10.... the program doesnt work anymore
[21:15] <massctrl> hello I replaced a videocard and now xorg isn't starting anymore, .. how can I automatically reconfigure the x env like it does on installation?
[21:15] <Bupuntu> anyone knows how could that be possible?
[21:15] <soundray> digitalvaldosta: I don't think that's a permissions issue
[21:15] <erUSUL> massctrl: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'
[21:16] <scguy318> massctrl: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

[21:16] <massctrl> ath the recovery console?
[21:16] <scguy318> massctrl: yes
[21:16] <massctrl> you can choose that in grub ?
[21:16] <digitalvaldosta> so it could be an issue with the fact that I installed 7.04 and upgraded to 7.10 back in september
[21:16] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: Having the same problem. Everything seems installed ok. Vlc can't play. Dunno. I just gave up for now.
[21:16] <scguy318> massctrl: yes
[21:16] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> hi guys, I'm using a bttv capture card connected to an analog camera and the video resulting from that camera is a bit weird:  the bottom half of the video is green and the top half is in grayscale.... anyone know how to fix?
[21:16] <scguy318> massctrl: it should be an entry in the GRUB menu
[21:16] <rabidweezle> jebblue, so it would be gzip $i; done ?
[21:17] <rapbus> Oni-Dracula|lapp, just tell people you're a NYU film grad :)
[21:17] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, ok :(
[21:17] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: What little I looked into it, it seems to be a new problem with gutsy.

[21:17] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, my friend goes crazy here because it doesn't work but in Feisty it does work
[21:17] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: Try installing and playing with vlc. Try installing xine (looks like you might have already).
[21:17] <rabidweezle> k
[21:17] <piglit> how can i check which program is using my soundcard xmms is telling me another program is using the soundcard so i wont be able to use the soundcard with xmms
[21:17] <soundray> digitalvaldosta: possibly. nautilus stores the thumbnails in ~/.thumbnails -- check that directory, especially the 'fail' subdirectory.
[21:17] <juano__> frost0: ok, im trying to make you all in one script
[21:17] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, true he has it
[21:17] <juano__> frost0: its nicer ;)
[21:17] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> rapbus, yeah..unfortunately that doesn't help me with installing a security system
[21:18] <frost0> juano__, thx
[21:18] <rapbus> hehe
[21:18] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: I know. It's strange.
[21:18] <Masterslave> gxine and totem crashes and vlc does play dvd but with 10fps/sec or something
[21:18] <VSpike> rabidweezle: find *.bsp -exec gzip {} \;
[21:18] <rapbus> if I had any experience with video, I'd help ya out..
[21:18] <Mikey_> any1 installed avant window nav?
[21:18] <digitalvaldosta> fail?
[21:18] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: If you use VLC to play the dvd you can choose view messages, which might help you track down the issue
[21:18] <mEck0> is it possible to mix mp3-tracks in Ardour?
[21:18] <jebblue> VSike thats the fancy way hehe
[21:19] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: >view>messages, then ttry and open dvd
[21:19] <VSpike> jebblue: I'm trying to learn to make more use of find :)

[21:21] <rapbus> where did you find the themes package?
[21:21] <rapbus> that's the only part I'm having problems with

[21:21] <taz_> yes
[21:21] <rapbus> apt says it was obsoleted
[21:21] <Oli``> rapbus: you need to add the non-gpl one

[21:22] <BTaylor> Hey, I'm setting up a pretty barebones Ubuntu box on a PC which was given to me by a friend. It's going to have an ATI Radeon 7000 PCI with 64mb of ram. Does 3d acceleration work with this in ubuntu?
[21:22] <Denyerec> Why does the user/group manager hide a load of users and groups from you ?
[21:22] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, no errors in message from vlc
[21:22] <threethirty> i just dist-updated my laptop to gutsy and now my inetl wireless doent seem to work, I can see AP's but not connect, any ideas?
[21:22] <jebblue> oops that was VSpike sorry
[21:22] <juano__> frost0: ok got it
[21:22] <max_> can anyone tell how to fix bordless windows in emerald (Gutsy/Ati X700 radeon mobile video)
[21:22] <m0zg_> my english is bad, i have  pc with mb epox rda3+ with cmedia cmi9739 audio chip on it. i install kubuntu 7.10, but when i listen music i hear noise of music. can somebody help me ?
[21:22] <kyled185> I tried to install the kde4 RC1 as posted in the topic, now apt is messed up with tons of unmet dependencies and is failing to install when the dependencies are explicitly specified.  Now I can't even apt-get upgrade is there a way to fix this?
[21:22] <jebblue> VSpike ah xargs thats one i never used much for some reason or other
[21:23] <rapbus> do you know what it is?
[21:23] <digitalvaldosta> taz:: do you mean the wobbly effect that comes with the new compiz fusion effects in 7.10
[21:23] <kyled185> er as posted in the topic in #kubuntu
[21:23] <BTaylor> m0zg_: Onboard usually isn't so good
[21:23] <rapbus> or I'll google it
[21:23] <Tomi_G> juano__: any other ideas? :S
[21:23] <VSpike> jebblue: me either
[21:23] <frost0> juano__, shweet
[21:23] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, he has give it up he is going to install gusy again
[21:23] <VSpike> jebblue: looks quite handy though
[21:23] <BTaylor> Do you have a PCI card that you can use?
[21:23] <taz_> wobbly windows
[21:23] <threethirty> max_: did you clean install or upgrade and are you using beryl or compiz fusion
[21:23] <VSpike> jebblue: nice to ask a question and get 3 answers hey? :)
[21:23] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, i had the same problem feww minutes ago but i've fixed it with this command
[21:23] <jebblue> lol
[21:23] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg totem-xine
[21:23] <max_> threethirty: clean install, beryl
[21:23] <hellonull> pidgin 2.2.2 has been out for awhile but it hasn't made it into the gutsy repos, would it be proper protocol to file a bug on launchpad for this?
[21:24] <ikonia> hellonull: not really a bug
[21:24] <CochiseIRL> kyled185, you could try removing kde4 rc1, i was just testing it out and when its released on 11 dec im switching i liked iit alot
[21:24] <Oli``> rapbus: like so: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3563998&postcount=20
[21:24] <hellonull> ikonia: i didnt think so, but someone in #pidgin suggested that i do that
[21:24] <ikonia> hellonull: you could do , but it seems a bit provocotive
[21:24] <soundray> hellonull: you can file a bug of course, but I don't think it'll have any effect.
[21:24] <juano__> frost0: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45414/
[21:24] <rapbus> Oli``, haha I was already at that page :)
[21:24] <digitalvaldosta> taz::  you have to open synaptic package manager (which is under system -- administration) and then search for advanced desktop effects settings. that will be put under preferences in the menu after install.
[21:24] <soundray> !highno | hellonull
[21:24] <ubotu> hellonull: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos.
[21:24] <rapbus> thanks for your help
[21:24] <ikonia> hellonull: its one of the draw backs from quick release distros like ubuntu is that its a wasted of effort to upgrade packages as a general rule
[21:24] <taz_> seem no one help... guess that ok
[21:24] <frost0> juano__, where do i add this?
[21:24] <frost0> juano__, and how?
[21:25] <taz_> opsd
[21:25] <taz_> opps
[21:25] <ikonia> taz_: ask the question
[21:25] <juano__> frost0: you save this in a file in your home dir for example
[21:25] <m0zg_> BTaylor: but in win all good? i dont kwon what can i do to make all good in kubuntu
[21:25] <rapbus> taz_, the package is called compizconfig-settings-manager
[21:25] <Oli``> rapbus: awesome, yeah I was banging my head against a wall for quit a long time trying to figure out why the non-gpl button wasn't working
[21:25] <digitalvaldosta> TAZ
[21:25] <ikonia> taz_: opps ?
[21:25] <rapbus> or something like that
[21:25] <kyled185> CochiseIRL, I tried, but apt is too screwed up, it complains about unmet dependencies -- even when I try to uninstall things
[21:25] <threethirty> max_: you have me beat, i didn't know there we beryl packages for gutsy, you might want to be sure that emerald is installed and that it is running beyond that I have no clue
[21:25] <rapbus> Oli``, well the GPL button isn't working in mine
[21:25] <CochiseIRL> kyled185, try using aptitude instead
[21:25] <juano__> frost0: call it game.sh or something
[21:25] <taz_> my mistake i talk other screen .. anyway
[21:25] <digitalvaldosta> taz::  you have to open synaptic package manager (which is under system -- administration) and then search for advanced desktop effects settings. that will be put under preferences in the menu after install.
[21:25] <Oli``> rapbus: no, there aren't any GPL themes
[21:25] <Tomi_G> juano__: any other ideas? :S
[21:25] <rapbus> that's what I figured
[21:25] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: Yeah, I've got those installed and still can't play dvd
[21:25] <juano__> frost0: then chmod +x game.sh
[21:25] <digitalvaldosta> taz::  you have to open synaptic package manager (which is under system -- administration) and then search for advanced desktop effects settings. that will be put under preferences in the menu after install.
[21:25] <digitalvaldosta> taz::  you have to open synaptic package manager (which is under system -- administration) and then search for advanced desktop effects settings. that will be put under preferences in the menu after install.
[21:25] <rapbus> haha because it would search for half a second and stop
[21:26] <scguy318> !ccsm | taz
[21:26] <ubotu> taz: 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
[21:26] <threethirty> is anyone interested in my intel wireless issue
[21:26] <taz_> yes raphbus the package is called compizconfig-settings-manager
[21:26] <scguy318> taz: is that what you're looking for?
[21:26] <ikonia> threethirty: just ask
[21:26] <juano__> frost0: then when you run that script it will disable compiz, gnome desktop , run the game, then wait for you to exit the game, then press enter and gdm and compiz will start again
[21:26] <digitalvaldosta> taz::  you have to open synaptic package manager (which is under system -- administration) and then search for advanced desktop effects settings. that will be put under preferences in the menu after install.
[21:26] <Dirtbag> i have intel wireless isssue too
[21:26] <max_> threethirty: :)) undstd... im sure that emerald is installed and running :)))) but thx anyway
[21:26] <hellonull> soundray: does a security fix warrant "newer being better"?
[21:26] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, mmm strange he also, but he has installed alot of other packages including ubuntu-restriced things
[21:26] <taz_> ok let me check
[21:26] <taz_> brb
[21:26] <ikonia> hellonull: security can be a valid reason to provide an upgrade
[21:27] <rapbus> sweet, it's downloading the themes
[21:27] <rapbus> thanks :)
[21:27] <digitalvaldosta> 8-)
[21:27] <CochiseIRL> kyled185, did aptitude work for you?
[21:27] <threethirty> ikonia: I did, no reply figured if there was interest that they would scoll up, and i figured people would be upset with me posting it again
[21:27] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, can you tell me which VGA you have?
[21:27] <Masterslave> + driver
[21:27] <ikonia> threethirty: well I can't help then as I don't have any buffer enabled
[21:27] <kyled185> CochiseIRL, I'm trying it, I did an apt-get clean all and now it has to re-download everything
[21:27] <BTaylor> m0zg_: You could try upgrading ALSA
[21:27] <Dirtbag> threethirty: whats is your problem?
[21:27] <ikonia> threethirty: and I missed your question
[21:28] <soundray> hellonull: yes. Like I said, do feel free to file a wishlist bug. If you include a report on a security hole, make sure it hasn't been fixed in the Ubuntu-current version with a distribution patch.
[21:28] <threethirty> iknonia: fair point sry
[21:28] <CochiseIRL> kyled185, you should remove all kde4 things using aptitude first then try reinstalling it
[21:28] <BTaylor> Speaking of C-Media, does a C-Media CMI8738 PCI work in ubuntu?
[21:28] <frost0> juano__, awesome
[21:28] <stephan22> Hello. Are there any news about an official solution by the ubuntu-team for the CRITICAL launchpad-bug #129910 (no tty-consoles in gutsy)?
[21:28] <ikonia> BTaylor: check the compatability list
[21:28] <digitalvaldosta> Just to let some of you know if you are new to linux and ubuntu you may not want to upgrade to the next release until it is officially released. I did that and it worked, kinda, but some features are buggy. So I have to reinstall my machine :D
[21:28] <ikonia> stephan22: check the bug report
[21:29] <BTaylor> ikonia: No mention of C-Media
[21:29] <ikonia> digitalvaldosta: please don't talk nonsense
[21:29] <hellonull> soundray: it is a libpurple security hole
[21:29] <BTaylor> (Despite it being a damn good card)
[21:29] <ikonia> digitalvaldosta: gutsy is fine to upgrade
[21:29] <juano__> frost0: should work, maybe the compiz loading part needs some extra stuff but its getting there
[21:29] <threethirty> Dirtbag, i dist-upgraded to gutsy and now my intel wireless is seeing AP's but cant connect and it was fine in feisty and i used it in part of the upgrade
[21:29] <juano__> frost0: maybe it doesnt :P
[21:29] <frost0> juano__, i'll try..
[21:29] <Cpudan80> Is there any way to disable error beeps in ubuntu?
[21:29] <ikonia> threethirty:how did you use it for only part of the upgrade
[21:30] <grindcore> when i boot ubuntu cd
[21:30] <Cpudan80> Like if I backspace all the way to the beginning of the line -- it fires off the system beep -- can I turn that off somehow?
[21:30] <stephan22> ikonia: i did check it. so i have to do the workaround manually? no official sollution?
[21:30] <digitalvaldosta> no i mean that if you upgrade into a release canidate not the official release. I did that when 7.10 wasn't officially released back in sept
[21:30] <ikonia> stephan22: the bug is the official log
[21:30] <soundray> Cpudan80: yes: System-Preferences-Sound
[21:30] <Tomi_G> juano__: any other ideas? :(
[21:30] <juano__> frost0: if i understood clearly, you want to close Gnome desktop manager also right ?
[21:30] <jebblue> Cpudan80 system | prefs never mind hehe
[21:30] <juano__> Tomi_G: mm... let me think
[21:30] <kyled185> Cpudan80, at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist put "blacklist pcspkr"
[21:30] <ldrada> Hi, what was the gnome-app for editing "advanced" settings?
[21:30] <ikonia> stephan22: if the official log has not solution why would a group or random people on irc have an official solution
[21:30] <Captain_> #list
[21:30] <threethirty> ikonia: some of the packages that I was upgrading werent on the gutsy CD
[21:30] <Captain_> #exit
[21:30] <noclue-man> what's the best way to connect two linux boxes through a wireless router?
[21:31] <m0zg_> BTaylor: this audio chip exist from 2003. do you think that new alsa(newer than in 7.10 ) can help me ??
[21:31] <ikonia> thelanlegend: you used the cd to upgrade ?
[21:31] <frost0> juano__, free up as much as possible..
[21:31] <ikonia> noclue-man: a wirless network ?
[21:31] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: What is vga?
[21:31] <threethirty> noclue-man: i use Samba, but NFS would work too
[21:31] <frost0> juano__, so yah..
[21:31] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, your graphics vard
[21:31] <Masterslave> card
[21:31] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: I have confirmed my dvd player has correct region with regionset
[21:31] <frost0> juano__, as long as it is restored...
[21:31] <BTaylor> m0zg_: It's possible
[21:31] <Cpudan80> jebblue kyled185 -- Found it, system, perfs, sound
[21:31] <Tomi_G> juano__: take your time :=
[21:31] <Cpudan80> "Enable system beep"
[21:31] <noclue-man> but how do you configure so the boxes recogize each other?
[21:31] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: It's an intergrated intel, but this is not a graphics problem
[21:32] <ArthurArchnix> Ripped dvd's play.
[21:32] <m0zg_> BTaylor: i don't think so
[21:32] <Masterslave> ok, just in case...
[21:32] <juano__> frost0: cause actually this will close your login manager also, so you would have to login again
[21:32] <jebblue> Cpudan80 cool
[21:32] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, its very strange :(
[21:32] <eugman> Is a live cd a viable way of dealing with an untrusted computer and the possibility of things like keyloggers?
[21:32] <threethirty> noclue-man: just set up shared folders
[21:32] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: your question? i just popped in here
[21:32] <soundray> noclue-man: you connect them both to the router in infrastructure mode. Then you can talk to one from the other, using the IP address.
[21:32] <ikonia> eugman: no
[21:32] <frost0> juano__, huh
[21:32] <Dirtbag> Does an internal wireless card have a weaker signal than a external one?
[21:32] <BTaylor> m0zg: You do occaisionally get versions of ALSA that for some reason are buggy with certain cards
[21:32] <ikonia> Dirtbag: no
[21:32] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: Masterslave and I are trying to run down a problem playing dvd's in gutsy.
[21:32] <frost0> juano, i'll try it and see how it works...brb
[21:32] <kyled185> eugman, it will bypass software keyloggers
[21:32] <juano__> frost0: so gdm isnt a good option
[21:32] <BloodyTux> How do I edit the boot options
[21:33] <soundray> Dirtbag: depends on the antenna
[21:33] <BloodyTux> so XP is first
[21:33] <juano__> frost0: we got to change that
[21:33] <frost0> juano__, okay go ahead...
[21:33] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: I've installed everycodec known to man, every player, and confirmed my region.
[21:33] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: you have libdvdcss2 installed?
[21:33] <ikonia> BloodyTux: change the default value in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:33] <frost0> juano__, i've got time...but do you?
[21:33] <niux> if my computer crashed, it there a log somewhere with a detailed description of what went wrong?
[21:33] <eugman> ikonia, kyled185 , well you'd need encryption to avoid somone watching on the network.
[21:33] <ikonia> niux: there maybe in /var/log/message
[21:33] <soundray> BloodyTux: don't change the order -- use the default option like ikonia says
[21:33] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: sudo apt-getinstall libdvdcdss2 returns an error saying that it is referred to by another package.
[21:33] <BloodyTux> K.
[21:33] <ikonia> eugman: why are you telling us this ? you asked the question not us
[21:33] <noclue-man> soundray: I'm able to ping the ip in one direction, but not the other,

[21:33] <mikefoo> Hey, anyone suggest a retailer that I can purchase a home server, a barebone would be good.
[21:33] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: you'll need this
[21:33] <frost0> juano, my main goal is to close as many unneeded apps as possible and then restore them after the game...
[21:33] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: to install libdvdcss2
[21:34] <grindcore> when i boot from ubuntu 7.10 i386 - i can select just install in text mode and another which is not god - if i select this text mode, after install i would be able to use graphic enviroment
[21:34] <frost0> juano__, my main goal is to close as many unneeded apps as possible and then restore them after the game...
[21:34] <ikonia> mikefoo: this is ubuntu support from all over the world, not hardware vendor recommendations
[21:34] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: libdvdread3 tries to dynamically look for libdvdcss2 when encountering a CSS-protected DVD
[21:34] <soundray> noclue-man: that's untypical. Maybe a router setting prevents it?
[21:34] <ikonia> grindcore: yes you can use the graphics mode
[21:34] <mikefoo> ikonia: im just asking for a site to buy a damn PC.. its not that serious..
[21:34] <mikefoo> I never said anything about "hardware" support
[21:34] <ikonia> mikefoo: this is a support channel, we don't know what country yuour in
[21:34] <ikonia> mikefoo: hardware support is asking for recommendations
[21:34] <mikefoo> im in the US  =)
[21:34] <juano__> frost0: mm yep... well actually closing gnome isnt necesary i think
[21:34] <ikonia> mikefoo: its a support channel only for ubuntu OS

[21:35] <juano__> frost0: i think what really matters is compiz
[21:35] <mikefoo> threethirty: thank you!  =)
[21:35] <ldrada> Does anybody know the name of the gnome app that lets users configure "advanced" options for gnome-apps?
[21:35] <nomojob> juano__: just rebooted and it still didnt fix the problem with the Error 21.  I then re-installed Ubuntu and it still gives me the error!  Should I just give up on Ubuntu?
[21:35] <Dirtbag> soundray: Do you have any idea why I would have to be ~20ft closer to the AP w/ubuntu than I do with xp?
[21:35] <jimjam> I think I just gave every file on my system rwxrwxrwx permissions. Did I hose my system?
[21:35] <ikonia> Dirtbag: not as good a driver ?
[21:35] <ikonia> jimjam: what permissions, what command did you use
[21:35] <hoarycripple> hello.  on a dual monitor configuration is there any way to get *different* framebuffer console on each monitor?  As it is whatever is displayed on monitor 0 is also displayed on monitor 1.
[21:35] <BloodyTux> How do I set the default?
[21:35] <ikonia> hoarycripple: I don't think its that advanced at the moment
[21:35] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: I hadn't done that. I think a reboot is required.
[21:35] <jimjam> ikonia It was definitely a chmod 777 command.
[21:35] <frost0> juano__, okay...its compiz fusion if that changes anything..
[21:36] <juano__> nomojob: no, you may need to reinstall grub
[21:36] <ikonia> jimjam: yup
[21:36] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: you don't need to reboot I think, but whatever does it
[21:36] <frost0> juano__, any other system apps that may be hogs you can think of?
[21:36] <ikonia> jimjam: thats a pretty dangerous set of permissions
[21:36] <juano__> frost0: then delete the gdm line
[21:36] <hoarycripple> ikonia, ok.  thank you.
[21:36] <juano__> frost0: all the same except both gdm lines
[21:36] <jimjam> ikonia Any way to get the default permissions back, or do I reach for my restore disk?
[21:36] <Reng> can any donate me some money, i really want to get a macbook pro, so i can show it off to the chicks at starbucks. hehe
[21:36] <soundray> Dirtbag: Windows drivers tend to be better, because the manufacturers write them themselves. Linux driver authors have to guess at hardware internals, therefore they often cannot make full use of the hardware's capabilities.
[21:36] <ikonia> jimjam: I sugges a restore
[21:36] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: with libdvdcss2 the region of your DVD player does not matter I believe
[21:36] <nomojob> is there a good tutorial for that that you know of?  I followed one earlier, but it didnt help.
[21:36] <Oli``> hoarycripple: I assume you've got a proper graphics card? as in nvidia/ati? install the restricted drivers and use the included config that comes with that
[21:36] <jimjam> ikonia Oh, how I love learning.
[21:36] <ikonia> jimjam: sorry
[21:36] <jimjam> ikonia: it's so much fun!
[21:36] <soundray> Dirtbag: consider asking your hardware supplier for better Linux support.
[21:37] <jimjam> ikonia: Oh, no, this is probably a good thing.
[21:37] <nomojob> juano__: is there a good tutorial for that that you know of?  I followed one earlier, but it didnt help.
[21:37] <frost0> juano__, so you think i should be good with just disabling compiz?
[21:37] <juano__> frost0: i guess compiz is the real hog, cause it rides on opengl like a b3*ss2*
[21:37] <RobJ> Hi!  I'm trying to login to my ubuntu but i am getting a 'session lasted less than 10 seconds' message.  I installed Ubuntu in OEM mode, and used 'sudo oem-config' in terminal to setup my new account. Any advice on solving my login problem? Thanks
[21:37] <juano__> frost0: i think so
[21:37] <Dirtbag> ikonia: oh, i have an intel 3945, and am using ipw driver, should i change it.

[21:37] <ikonia> Dirtbag: are there other drivers available ?
[21:37] <frost0> juano__, i just wanted to add as much as possible...so i could use all my 768mb of ram..
[21:37] <BloodyTux> How do I set the default option for menu.lst?
[21:38] <juano__> frost0: well shutting down compiz will help indeed
[21:38] <ikonia> BloodyTux: edit the file /boot/grub/menu.list and the option "Default" is the default os it will boot

[21:38] <ikonia> jimjam: untarring ? what are you talking about

[21:38] <BejeweledPudenda> I want to install k9copy v. 1.2.0 -- how can I do that?  debian-multimedia respository has broken dependenicies.

[21:39]  * ArthurArchnix bows and thanks scguy318
[21:39] <frost0> juano__, sweet....one more thing...my video card is getting funky with the new drivers i have nvidia 6600...and it runs at 51-53 degress celcius...which isn't a problem...but it just craps out after a while...
[21:39] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: Worked like a charm
[21:39] <Oli``> alexmatos: sounds like a special driver thing... I could be wrong though
[21:39] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: cool
[21:39] <jimjam> ikonia: Sorry. I got it figured out. Thanks for your help
[21:39] <frost0> juano__, i play a game and it just quits randomly..
[21:39] <SevenIsPrime> BejeweledPudenda: You do not use Debian repositories for Ubuntu.
[21:39] <kazol> Could someone please help me with an issue with ndiswrapper?
[21:39] <frost0> juano__, i just wish i new what driver worked and where i can get it..
[21:40] <juano__> frost0: mmm... i enabled the restricted driver that came at ubuntu install
[21:40] <scguy318> BejeweledPudenda: why do you need Debian repos? it's in the Ubuntu repos
[21:40] <juano__> frost0: nvidia 5500 here
[21:40] <nananuu> hi I have a qustion why my desktop is geting black after 10 min but my screen server turns on only after 2 hours ho can I disable the black screen who apers after 10 min?
[21:40] <juano__> frost0: 256
[21:40] <frost0> juano__, 256?
[21:40] <Nirevus> I'm installing Ubuntu onto an acer Aspire 1360 for a family member. However, I can't access wireless networking on it. "lshw -C network" identifies everything correctly but Administration > Network only shows wired and modem. Any thoughts? It's using a VT6102 Rhine II and an AirConn IPN 2220 Wireless Adaptor
[21:40] <BloodyTux> ikonia, Is it the default      0?
[21:40] <juano__> frost0: 256 MB yea
[21:40] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: I guess I just assumed it was taken care of by libdvdread3 and ubuntu-restricted-extras
[21:40] <BloodyTux> wait
[21:40] <frost0> juano__, yep same..
[21:40] <BloodyTux> nvm
[21:40] <BloodyTux> Sorry.
[21:40] <Tomi_G> juano__: did you think of something?
[21:40] <ikonia> BloodyTux: thats the default "0" that is the first option in menu.list "1" would be second "2" the third etc
[21:40] <Oli``> nananuu: System > Prefs > Screensavers > Power
[21:41] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: I understand, a pity libdvdcss2 has to be buried behind a repo
[21:41] <BloodyTux> Thanks
[21:41] <Dirtbag> ikonia: so would the driver also cause it to constantly disconnect but keep signal strength?
[21:41] <tom__> hi all, im trying to boot ubuntu from a usb hard drive via a direct install, however when it boots i just get the word "grub" on the screen and then it bails out, any ideas?
[21:41] <alexmatos> Oli``, it worked on Gutsy, but its not working in Feisty
[21:41]  * BloodyTux is blonde today
[21:41] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: but its the legal climate
[21:41] <ikonia> Dirtbag: maybe, maybe thats your access point, who knows
[21:41] <spiderfire> is there music player that can use new winamp skins?
[21:41] <ikonia> spiderfire: xmms
[21:41] <frost0> juano__, maybe it is just lack of ram forcing me out of game..
[21:41] <alexmatos> Oli``, it's probably some module I have to load
[21:41] <CochiseIRL> spiderfire, audacious
[21:41] <spiderfire> ikonia: new skins?
[21:41] <ikonia> spiderfire: sorry, xmms2 but its early/stalled development
[21:41] <juano__> frost0: 768 ? , mmm 512 ram here
[21:42] <alexmatos> Oli``, the question is 'which'
[21:42] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> hi guys, I'm using a bttv capture card connected to an analog camera and the video resulting from that camera is a bit weird:  the bottom half of the video is green and the top half is in grayscale.... anyone know how to fix?
[21:42] <frost0> juano__, brb i'm going to try it out..
[21:42] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: Yeah. Looks like I can install w32codecs now as well.
[21:42] <tom__> anyone help me please?
[21:42] <juano__> frost0: sure.. give it a try
[21:42] <frost0> juano__, thx for your help...
[21:42] <ikonia> tom__: help with what
[21:42] <juano__> frost0: no prob, come back ne time
[21:42] <nananuu> Oli``,  On Ac Power is both turnd never
[21:42] <ikonia> tom__: you have to ask a question to get help
[21:42] <tom__>  im trying to boot ubuntu from a usb hard drive via a direct install, however when it boots i just get the word "grub" on the screen and then it bails out, any ideas?
[21:42] <juano__> Tomi_G: mm i really wouldnt know... checked !grub
[21:42] <truckin> tom__: ensure your system bios is set to boot from USB
[21:42] <soundray> spiderfire: have a look at audacity -- not sure if it'll work with the skins, but it's the most actively developed fork of xmms
[21:42] <Dirtbag> ikonia: is there a way to test which it could be?
[21:42] <juano__> !grub | Tomi_G
[21:42] <ubotu> Tomi_G: 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
[21:42] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: yep
[21:42] <ikonia> Dirtbag: not really
[21:42] <m0zg_> my english is bad, i have  pc with mb epox rda3+ with cmedia cmi9739 audio chip on it. i install kubuntu 7.10, but when i try to  listen music i hear noise instead of music. can somebody help me ?
[21:42] <tom__> truckin: it boots, but hangs at the word grub
[21:42] <ikonia> Dirtbag: not easy
[21:42] <juano__> Tomi_G: it should be able to boot
[21:43] <juano__> Tomi_G: though you can try this before
[21:43] <mechung> anyone have any suggestions as to why when i embed a player in my website it wont autoplay?
[21:43] <ikonia> mechung: this is ubuntu support - not webdesign
[21:43] <juano__> Tomi_G: try hd0,0
[21:43] <P-avilion> i am new and trying to install webcam_server 0.50 i have downloaded it but dont really know what todo next, any help is appriciated
[21:43] <frost0> juano__, just remembered there is a ram hog dock i'm using called avant-window-navigator..
[21:43] <tom__> juano__: sorry, try hd0,0 as what?
[21:43] <ikonia> P-avilion: where did you download a web cam server from ?
[21:43] <soundray> tom__: apparently, grub can't see the root partition on your USB drive. Look at the install page (private message) and scroll down to USB installations
[21:44] <frost0> juano__, could iadd that to the line?
[21:44] <Oli``> mechung: because the plugin will never auto-play
[21:44] <soundray> !install > tom__
[21:44] <mechung> i know and im sorry but ive tried #web, flash , apache and now im here everyone says to go somewhere else
[21:44] <underdawg> would any of you know why I can ssh into a box but the vlc auth fails?
[21:44] <juano__> tom__	ahh sorry wrong contact
[21:44] <Nirevus> I'm installing Ubuntu onto an acer Aspire 1360 for a family member. However, I can't access wireless networking on it. "lshw -C network" identifies everything correctly but Administration > Network only shows wired and modem. Any thoughts? It's using a VT6102 Rhine II and an AirConn IPN 2220 Wireless Adaptor
[21:44] <ikonia> mechung: because this is ubuntu support - we don't support web design
[21:44] <_AxS_> kazol: hey -- ok so what exactly is the issue right now?
[21:44] <juano__> Tomi_G: try hd0,0
[21:44] <P-avilion> i closed the window im not sure of the site off hand
[21:44] <mechung> oli: how can i get it to autoplay? or is there a way??
[21:44] <ikonia> Nirevus: you need a 3rd party driver
[21:44] <Dirtbag> ikonia: oh ok  =(  ... most linux distros use same drivers?
[21:44] <scguy318> Nirevus: if there's no kernel module for your wireless adapter, you may need to use ndiswrapper
[21:44] <ikonia> P-avilion: read the documents on the product, or get support from the vendor
[21:44] <ikonia> Dirtbag: yes
[21:45] <Tomi_G> juano__: ok
[21:45] <kazol> _AxS_: I have to type in my WPA key everytime I boot into the Network Manager.
[21:45] <ikonia> Dirtbag: they all do
[21:45] <Oli``> mechung: private message
[21:45] <scguy318> Nirevus: does iwconfig say anything?
[21:45] <truckin> tom__: use the grub prompt to see exactly what media kernel has indeed loaded. ensure the usb device has a valid bootable image on it.
[21:45] <_AxS_> Dirtbag: we all use the same kernel
[21:45] <juano__> frost0: yep same as with compiz, only you put the process instead of compiz
[21:45] <frost0> juano__, if the program is run by "avant-window-navigator" what would i add the the .sh?
[21:45] <juano__> frost0: same 2 lines
[21:45] <nananuu> On Ac Power is both turned never but my screen turns black after eavery then idle minutus
[21:45] <tom__> truckin thanks, ill try again, 1 min ill run to the other room :D
[21:45] <_AxS_> kazol: yeah, of course.  try to find a way to save the key
[21:45] <kazol> _AxS_: It retains some sort of key when I open the manager, but after pasting the actual key and clicking ok, it works.
[21:45] <scguy318> !wireless | Nirevus
[21:45] <ubotu> Nirevus: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[21:45] <scguy318> Nirevus: if you haven't already seen this
[21:45] <juano__> frost0: same lines as compiz, instead of compiz put avant-window-navigator
[21:45] <underdawg> would any of you know why I can ssh into a box but the vlc auth fails?
[21:45] <alexmatos> My laptop does not automatically decrease the monitor brightness when running on batteries. I can do it using Fn keys. The laptop is an HP Compaq Presario V6000 running Feisty. This worked in Gutsy. Can anybody help?
[21:45] <delfos> what's the meaning of Aborted (core dumped)?
[21:45] <Dirtbag> _AxS_: oh ok
[21:46] <Nirevus> scguy318, ikonia: Thanks, let me run iwconfig and I'll get back to you
[21:46] <ikonia> underdawg: vlc server not setup correct ?
[21:46] <frost0> juano__, and i'm not on root account...is that okay with all the sudo lines on there...
[21:46] <nananuu> On Ac Power is both turned never but my screen turns black after eavery 10 idle minits how can i fix it?
[21:46] <underdawg> hehe
[21:46] <underdawg> ikonia: hrm
[21:46] <underdawg> okay
[21:46] <Nirevus> scguy318, ikonia: Just gives me no wireless extensions for both lo and eth0
[21:46] <frost0> juano__, i was told not to use the sudo account for security..
[21:46] <_AxS_> kazol: this is _extremely_ ubuntu related and afaik not related at all to your boot order or module loading..
[21:46] <juano__> Tomi_G: hopefully hd0,0 can boot, sometimes you need to remap drives when booting other OS, happened to me with archlinux
[21:46] <scguy318> Nirevus: as I thought
[21:46] <underdawg> I set up using ubuntuguides - setup guide
[21:46] <ikonia> Nirevus: thats because they are not your wirless cards
[21:46] <scguy318> Nirevus: you'll need to install ndiswrapper and obtain the Windows driver for your card
[21:46] <delfos> *Aborted (core dumped)?*
[21:46] <tom__> truckin: right, its not actually a grub prompt, its just the word grub :)
[21:46] <juano__> frost0: nope, the root account you cannot use, thats why you need to use sudo
[21:47] <Tomi_G> juano__: I don't know terms very well :)
[21:47] <ikonia> delfos: and ?
[21:47] <ikonia> delfos: thats not a question
[21:47] <scguy318> Nirevus: moment please
[21:47] <Nirevus> scguy318: Okay
[21:47] <delfos> what's the meaning of Aborted (core dumped)?
[21:47] <ikonia> delfos: it means your application has a serious fault and cannot run
[21:47] <delfos> ikonia: is that a question?
[21:47] <soundray> alexmatos: there are various ways in which display brightness control can be implemented in laptops.
[21:47] <scguy318> Nirevus: do you have wired connectivity at the moment?
[21:47] <_AxS_> Anyone here use ndiswrapper and for some reason have problems with the WPA key not saving??  how does kazol fix this?
[21:47] <truckin> delfos - core files are optionalluy generated  when something goes awry, you can investigate the core file to degug the problem, then delete it.
[21:47] <Od\x> Hello there! could anybody suggest to me an affordable (and free) software for creating (ubuntu) system backup image into a hidden partition so that everybody can restore the whole system just pressing a button when the PC is booting-up??
[21:47] <tom__> truckin: which is rather wierd....
[21:47] <juano__> Tomi_G: try hd0,0 , if it doesnt go then we try a remap
[21:47] <Tomi_G> ok
[21:47] <Nirevus> scguy318: It's not plugged in to anything. I'm on my laptop next to it.
[21:48] <scguy318> Nirevus: ok
[21:48] <pike_> delfos: good luck with reading the dump file
[21:48] <scguy318> Nirevus: do you have a removable storage device?
[21:48] <kazol> Could someone help me with an issue with ndiswrapper?-The Network Manager does not retain my WPA key and I have to type it in each time I boot.
[21:48] <juano__> !sudo | frost0
[21:48] <scguy318> Nirevus: and can you tell me what Ubuntu version and architecture?
[21:48] <ubotu> frost0: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[21:48] <soundray> alexmatos: it's possible that your keys control the hardware directly, and that the OS has no control over the brightness setting. In this case, it might be worth checking the BIOS setup for panel-related options.
[21:48] <delfos> truckin: wich is the dump core file? Where is it?
[21:48] <MaxL> How can I accsess my windows server on my network with ubuntu?
[21:48] <Nirevus> scguy318: 7.10, 32 bit
[21:48] <spiderfire> i sure would like to use new winamp skins
[21:48] <scguy318> Nirevus: thanks, gimme a moment
[21:48] <juano__> frost0: yep i put sudo to run the apps , but you can take that away
[21:48] <scguy318> Nirevus: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-common_1.43-1ubuntu2_all.deb
[21:49] <juano__> frost0: i think its not necessary in this case
[21:49] <truckin> tom__: what os's are on your boot drive? i would suggest burning an .iso image to cd and boot...the latter  rarely fails.
[21:49] <juano__> frost0: so you can delete the sudo from the last 2 lines before the exit
[21:49] <scguy318> Nirevus: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.43-1ubuntu2_i386.deb
[21:49] <scguy318> Nirevus: those two you need
[21:49] <juano__> frost0: youll need to leave them at the killall part
[21:49] <alexmatos> soundray, I would rather use the software management instead of the hardware one
[21:49] <FluxD> comple ndiswrapper from source that never worked
[21:49] <frost0> juano__, k
[21:49] <CochiseIRL> spiderfire, have you tried: http://audacious-media-player.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
[21:49] <scguy318> Nirevus: what's your card? I'll link you to the Windows driver
[21:49] <P-avilion> ikonia, i have the instructions, but i dont know how to execute them
[21:49] <kazol> Could someone help me with an issue with ndiswrapper?-The Network Manager does not retain my WPA key and I have to type it in each time I boot.
[21:49] <scguy318> Nirevus: and do you have a flash drive or removable storage device that you can use?
[21:50] <juano__> frost0: pastebin me the script after modifications
[21:50] <ikonia> P-avilion: join ##linux and aks there
[21:50] <tom__> juano__: no joy, a remap?
[21:50] <soundray> alexmatos: your laptop doesn't necessarily offer that. Check tuxmobil.org for installation reports on your specific model -- maybe someone else has solved the problem.
[21:50] <threethirty> MaxL: what protocols is your server connectiong
[21:50] <Nirevus> scguy318: Yeah, I'll grab a flash drive in a sec. let me just run lshw and I'll get the card details
[21:50] <scguy318> Nirevus: sure, thanks
[21:50] <tom__> truckin: only ubuntu, its a usb laptop hard drive thingy
[21:50] <juano__> tom__ = Tomi_G ?
[21:50] <spiderfire> CochiseIRL: its winamp classic skins
[21:50] <Tomi_G> nope
[21:50] <tom__> no
[21:50] <tom__> lol
[21:50] <Tomi_G> Tomi_G = Tomi_G :D
[21:50] <frost0> juano__, http://pastebin.com/da920e2c
[21:50] <alexmatos> soundray, I know it does because it worked in Gusty and in Arch Linux
[21:51] <Nirevus> scguy318: Hm, ethernet interface of ethernet controller? The controlleris described as Wireless Lan Adptor. I assume that's what you want?
[21:51] <scguy318> Nirevus: I'm interested in chipset and the like
[21:51] <ikonia> Nirevus: you don't have any drives for your card
[21:51] <kazol> Could someone help me with an issue with ndiswrapper?-The Network Manager does not retain my WPA key and I have to type it in each time I boot.
[21:51] <juano__> ok lol, then whats this ? tom__: juano__: no joy, a remap?
[21:51] <scguy318> Nirevus: type lspci
[21:51] <truckin> tom__: are you certain your bios supports USB booting? otherwise the usb media must be invalid.
[21:51] <juano__> Tomi_G: howd it go with hd0,0 ?
[21:52] <frost0> juano__, how does it look?
[21:52] <scguy318> Nirevus: what's make and model of the machine?
[21:52] <Tomi_G> juano__: will try it in a minute, just need to save some data first
[21:52] <tom__> truckin: i know it booted because i got the word grub
[21:52] <Nirevus> scguy318: It's an acer Aspire 1360
[21:52] <tom__> truckin: so it found something :D
[21:52] <scguy318> Nirevus: internal wireless? alright
[21:52] <Nirevus> scguy318: Yup
[21:53] <frost0> juano__, i think i did everything right..
[21:53] <juano__> frost0: you need sudo in first 2 lines, here i corrected it for ya
[21:53] <truckin> tom__: interesting, is this the desktop install you're attempting?
[21:53] <juano__> frost0: http://pastebin.com/m44852414
[21:53] <nbkr> Anybody using the VMWare Server from the commercial repository? I keep getting updates all the time. Seems that the package is broken.
[21:53] <frost0> juano__, maybe not...k thx
[21:53] <scguy318> Nirevus: moment then
[21:53] <Nirevus> scguy318: [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adaptor, is what lspci tells me
[21:53] <ikonia> nbkr: it is
[21:53] <nbkr> ikonia, Is there a fix anywhere?
[21:53] <tom__> truckin: yea
[21:53] <ikonia> nbkr: no, or it wouldn't be broken in the repo
[21:54] <juano__> frost0: the echo -e part means that itll wait till the app is closed and you hit enter in terminal
[21:54] <tom__> im going to try extlinux, see how that goes
[21:54] <frost0> juano__, okay thx
[21:54] <scguy318> Nirevus: alright cool
[21:54] <nbkr> ikonia, Actually the Server is running fine. Just the updating process is broken.
[21:54] <romme> is there any alternative to gnome-power-manager for controlling my backlight? i need something command-line to bind my hotkeys
[21:54] <Wooderson> how can i install steam and play counter-strike on linux ?
[21:54] <alexmatos> soundray, so how do I know what Gusty has that Feisty hasn't?
[21:54] <Nirevus> scguy318: In advance, I won't be able to test this while you explain as it's currently running off a LiveCD, I was checking that wireless would work once i installed it properly. But if there is a windows driver available I can use with NDISWrapper then that's great.
[21:54] <soundray> tom__: did you get the private message?
[21:54] <scguy318> !wine | Wooderson
[21:54] <ubotu> Wooderson: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[21:54] <rich1> hi.  i added icedtea java and made it default to get miro working.  miro worked but java in mozilla browsers didn't.
[21:54] <scguy318> !appdb | Wooderson
[21:54] <ubotu> Wooderson: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[21:54] <Wooderson> i have wine
[21:54] <juano__> frost0: its actually a little workover
[21:54] <scguy318> Wooderson: check the AppDb for information
[21:54] <ikonia> nbkr: no its not, the dependencies for the updates are broken, therefore the current (your not running currnet) package is broke
[21:54] <Wooderson> this a .msi file
[21:54] <truckin> tom__: try reading up on grub, and using the grub prompt, manually tell it where a kernel can be found.
[21:55] <scguy318> Wooderson: to install an msi, type wine msiexec /i nameofmsifile.msi
[21:55] <nbkr> It tries to update from version 1.04 to version 1.04 ...
[21:55] <tom__> truckin: i dont get a prompt, just the word grub
[21:55] <scguy318> Wooderson: see the Steam page for AppDb for info
[21:55] <rich1> i made sun java the default again and removed icedtea java but now applets load verrrrry slowly.  any ideas?
[21:55] <kazol> Could someone help me with an issue with ndiswrapper?-The Network Manager does not retain my WPA key and I have to type it in each time I boot.
[21:55] <ikonia> nbkr: thats odd, thats not the generic problem with the package are you sure the version numbers don't change ?
[21:55] <Wooderson> thx scguy318 u always have the answer for me
[21:55] <soundray> alexmatos: I would search tuxmobil like I said. It's possible that gutsy has a kernel module to control it. There is a good chance you will find out its name that way.
[21:55] <nbkr> ikonia, Yes, I'm sure.
[21:55] <_AxS_> hey all -- ubuntu question..  The 'network manager' , i that an X app from gnome or some such, or is it a CLI thing?
[21:55] <nbkr> ikonia, Just checked.
[21:56] <truckin> tom__: thats very odd. i would try the cd boot approach. sorry i cant solve this.
[21:56] <ikonia> nbkr: I wonder if its till the dependency problem, but i can't see how update manager can update to the same version
[21:56] <rich1> hi.  i added icedtea java and made it default to get miro working.  miro worked but java in mozilla browsers didn't.
[21:56] <rich1> i made sun java the default again and removed icedtea java but now applets load verrrrry slowly.  any ideas?
[21:56] <alexmatos> soundray, I didn't find my notebook model there
[21:56] <soundray> _AxS_: it's a graphical (gnome) wizard
[21:56] <tom__> truckin: ill try extlinux and see how it fares
[21:56] <scguy318> Nirevus: moment, I've extracted driver files, I'll zip then upload to rapidshare
[21:57] <scguy318> Nirevus: or do you want to DCC?
[21:57] <scguy318> Nirevus: I'm not sure how well that works
[21:57] <Nirevus> scguy318: Use RS, I've got a premium account.
[21:57] <_AxS_> soundray: ahh, right.  is there a way to specify wpa keys and such so wifi works on bootup?
[21:57] <linuxer> Cambada
[21:57] <scguy318> Nirevus: alright, moment then
[21:57] <Nirevus> scguy318: aslong as it's .com
[21:57] <ferronica> hi all
[21:57] <_AxS_> soundray: instead of using networkmanager?
[21:57] <linuxer> somebody to talk
[21:57] <Wooderson> scguy318: where can i find a list of tasks running? and how do i kill it
[21:57] <scguy318> Wooderson: ps -A
[21:58] <juguegan> ps -A
[21:58] <ikonia> linuxer: this is a support channel for ubuntu support questions only
[21:58] <juguegan> kill -9 pid
[21:58] <Wooderson> thx
[21:58] <scguy318> Wooderson: or go to SYstem -> Administration -> System Monitor
[21:58] <soundray> _AxS_: yes, you can make the appropriate settings in /etc/network/interfaces (documented in man interfaces)
[21:58] <gangsterlicious> !!
[21:58] <truckin> ps aux is easier to read.
[21:58] <_AxS_> soundray: tnx
[21:58] <rem_> ..
[21:58] <ferronica> i have just installed Xchat gnome, but there is no proper icon :(
[21:59] <scguy318> Nirevus: http://rapidshare.com/files/71353876/neti2220.zip.html
[21:59] <joeb3_> ferronica, try Xchat.  Without the gnome
[21:59] <scguy318> Nirevus: extract the files inside, then put those files and the debs onto your removable storage device
[21:59] <soundray> ferronica: it's in Applications-Internet
[22:00] <scguy318> Nirevus: carry it over to the machine in question, place them on the desktop or w/e you feel like placing them
[22:00] <truckin> ferronica : a word to the wise, xchat-gnome is sucky, use xchat. period
[22:00] <rich1> can anyone help with java?
[22:00] <scguy318> Nirevus: then double-click the ndiswrapper-common deb, install it, then the same for ndiswrapper-utils deb
[22:00] <scguy318> rich1: what about?
[22:00] <ferronica> soundray: its there but icon showing something else
[22:00] <Adriel> I would like to know should i install any codec like k-lite codec? as i usually use k-lite codec on windows. What about ubuntu?
[22:00] <ArabEyes> ferronica , typ in the terminal  xchat-gnome , and xchat will started
[22:00] <rich1> hi.  i added icedtea java and made it default to get miro working.  miro worked but java in mozilla browsers didn't.
[22:00] <rich1> i made sun java the default again and removed icedtea java but now applets load verrrrry slowly.  any ideas?
[22:00] <scguy318> Adriel: if you require a codec, you'll simply be asked to install one from repos
[22:01] <truckin> ferronica : icons sometimes don't show-up until the system rebuilds it's database.  fyi
[22:01] <rich1> scguy318: just posted the problem.
[22:01] <scguy318> rich1: hmm, never worked with that before, so dunno :(
[22:01] <ferronica> truckin: yeah may be
[22:01] <Adriel> ah ok, thanks scguy318

[22:01] <scguy318> Adriel: like libdvdcss2 and the like
[22:01] <truckin> ferronica : if you see an icon, check it's actual properties.
[22:01] <Udmin> rich1: apt-get install sun-java6-plugin

[22:02] <Nirevus> scguy318: Can you give me the instructions now, I'm running off a livecd currently so I won't be able to install it
[22:02] <yomimmo> hi
[22:02] <ferronica> truckin: empty icon
[22:03] <marcin_ant> hi all
[22:03] <mh092186> hey
[22:03] <juano__> a little retro for all of you http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/5/Screenshot.jpg
[22:03] <TheHobbit> hi people....
[22:03] <scguy318> Nirevus: oh LiveCD? go ahead and install Ubuntu first before proceeding with my steps
[22:03] <marcin_ant> Is there someone that uses fakeraid (especially with raid0) on gutsy?
[22:03] <yomimmo> anyone know of a program to update the firmware of the speedtouch 585v6 router?
[22:03] <truckin> ferronica : you can select any executable to that icon, and or change the icon itself.
[22:03] <scguy318> Nirevus: basically obtain ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 + ndiswrapper-common either through APT (requires Internet)
[22:03] <simon_> hello
[22:03] <alexmatos> My laptop does not automatically decrease the monitor brightness when running on batteries. I can do it using Fn keys. The laptop is an HP Compaq Presario V6000 running Feisty. This worked in Gutsy. Can anybody help?
[22:03] <marcin_ant> and could someone tell me what is it's performance?
[22:03] <TheHobbit> I'm looking for an hotwo for emerald themes...
[22:03] <scguy318> Nirevus: or download the packages and install locally through GDebi
[22:03] <scguy318> Nirevus: after that
[22:04] <simon_> how do i change my nickname ...?
[22:04] <scguy318> simon_: /nick
[22:04] <scguy318> Nirevus: you would do
[22:04] <SpeakerMania> You know how a forced check is placed on the main hard drive every 28 times or whatever? It checks, but then this happens: http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/299/hpim0626yn4.jpg My password doesn't work.
[22:04] <Nirevus> scguy318: I can't do it tonight, was only getting my mum to play with it today so she'd agree to me installing it. But it means backing all her files up :P
[22:04] <joeb3_> simon_, /nick newnick
[22:04] <scguy318> Nirevus: ah, ok
[22:04] <nfusco> Im bangin my head of a wall here, Iv just done ANOTHER fresh install of gutsy, ona  Dell Inspiron 8500 laptop, It uses the Broadcom chipset, can someone recommend should I go down the NDiswrapper route or the restricted drivers?

[22:04] <Cpudan80> Hello all
[22:04] <Cpudan80> I am trying to secure my ubuntu installation by messing with the IPTables
[22:04] <stroogle> howdy - i've just tried to install gnome on a server with dapper on.  I did sudo apt-get install gnome but it fails to start with 'startx'.  what should i do?
[22:04] <scguy318> Nirevus: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto
[22:04] <ubuntuJEW> just installed ubuntu ultimate on a vmware and emerald themer isn't working... why?
[22:04] <scguy318> Nirevus: i find it very helpful
[22:04] <nfusco> And does the network manager work with WPA?
[22:04] <Cpudan80> I want to be able to VNC to the box thru an X-tunneled SSH session
[22:05] <sijmes> hmm
[22:05] <CochiseIRL> Cpudan80, try installing firestarter its a nice gui to iptables
[22:05] <sijmes> ok thanks
[22:05] <Nirevus> scguy318: Thanks, I don't need to apt-get the ndis packages though do I, as I have htem on the flash drive
[22:05] <scguy318> Nirevus: you don't, you could if you had internet connectivity
[22:05] <scguy318> Nirevus: but you don't need to
[22:05] <Cpudan80> CochiseIRL: ehh ok
[22:05] <sijmes> my gutsy has no window borders since the new nvidia driver
[22:05] <Nirevus> Yeah
[22:05] <truckin> yomimmo - you need a firmware bios update from the manufacturer usually installed by booting off a floppy with the update on the floppy.
[22:05] <SpeakerMania> You know how a forced check is placed on the main hard drive every 28 times or whatever? It checks, but then this happens: http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/299/hpim0626yn4.jpg My password doesn't work.
[22:05] <sijmes> anyone help please...?
[22:06] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: you're supposed to be taken to a shell so you can type fsck, but
[22:06] <soundray> SpeakerMania: try booting in recovery mode -- it shouldn't ask for your password, and then you can run 'e2fsck -y /dev/hda1'
[22:06] <CochiseIRL> sijmes, open a terminal and type metacity --replace see if that works
[22:06]  * TheHobbit is looking for an howto for emerald themes
[22:06] <niux> okay, my computer crashes for no reason really often. now i checked /var/log/messages, syslog, kern.log, dmesg, apport.log, user.log, Xorg.log and debug. none of them has any info on what happens. what do i do?!
[22:06] <scguy318> soundray: I thought recovery mode had the partition mounted rw?
[22:06] <ikonia> TheHobbit your also repeating yourself
[22:06] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: boot to LiveCD, run fsck
[22:06] <stroogle> howdy - i've just tried to install gnome on a server with dapper on.  I did sudo apt-get install gnome but it fails to start with 'startx'.  what should i do?
[22:06] <Nirevus> scguy318: Will I need ndisgtk?
[22:06] <ikonia> stroogle: you've not configured the xserver
[22:06] <soundray> SpeakerMania: if that doesn't work, you should boot off a live CD, open a terminal and run 'sudo e2fsck -y /dev/hda1'
[22:06] <scguy318> Nirevus: no, I don't care for it anyway
[22:06] <SpeakerMania> scguy318, if can find mine...
[22:06] <ikonia> stroogle: you have to configure it before you start it
[22:06] <Cpudan80> CochiseIRL: How do I start firestarter... does it install as a menu item?
[22:07] <Nirevus> scguy318: Okay
[22:07] <Cpudan80> If it does - I can't find it :-/
[22:07] <soundray> scguy318: not if the root filesystem is inconsistent
[22:07] <stroogle> ikonia - ah, right, how do i do that then
[22:07] <scguy318> soundray: ah ok
[22:07] <ikonia> stroogle: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf or try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:07] <CochiseIRL> yes under System > Administration > Firestarter
[22:07] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: just do what soundray suggested, sounds good to me :)
[22:07] <nfusco> has anyone actually got the restricted driers working on broadcom chipseet with WPA?
[22:07] <CochiseIRL> Cpudan80,  yes under System > Administration > Firestarter
[22:07] <Clearze2> stroogle: run sudo aptitude install gnome-desktop
[22:07] <Cpudan80> oh duh
[22:07] <nfusco> drivers ^^
[22:07] <Cpudan80> Now I see it
[22:07] <alexmatos> My laptop does not automatically decrease the monitor brightness when running on batteries. I can do it using Fn keys. The laptop is an HP Compaq Presario V6000 running Feisty. This worked in Gutsy. Can anybody help?
[22:07] <sijmes> its not using metacity or emerals
[22:07] <scguy318> nfusco: ndiswrapper is best bet
[22:07] <stroogle> cool thanks will try
[22:07] <truckin> marcin_ant - login to your router, it should have a section to upload a flash update to the router...a tricky precedure. excersize caution.
[22:07] <ferronica> truckin: here is the screenhot --> http://i12.tinypic.com/85yisqp.png
[22:07] <sijmes> its compiz fusion
[22:08] <CochiseIRL> sijmes, have you tried running compiz --replace from a terminal and checking for errors?
[22:08] <niux> okay, my computer crashes for no reason really often. now i checked /var/log/messages, syslog, kern.log, dmesg, apport.log, user.log, Xorg.log and debug. none of them has any info on what happens. what do i do?!
[22:08] <Nirevus> scguy318: Excellent. Thank you very much for your help. I'll probably be installing it tomorrow or friday. Thanks again.
[22:08] <SpeakerMania> scguy348, okay. Its checking again...
[22:08] <sijmes> il try
[22:09] <TheHobbit> alexmatos, this is a bug in ubuntu, at leas I remember seeing something about this in the ubuntu ml
[22:09] <nfusco> scguy318, really, ive clean installed laptop 4 times in the last two days doing fresh installs to try get this working, pain in the ass...wont NDis need to be redone when a new kernel gets pushed out?
[22:09] <ikonia> nfusco: depends on the update
[22:09] <ferronica> truckin: got  the link ???
[22:09] <alexmatos> TheHobbit, you mean a bug in Feisty?
[22:09] <TheHobbit> alexmatos, IIRC the problem arise if you changed the default brightness
[22:09] <scguy318> Nirevus: good luck with your install, btw
[22:09] <truckin> ferronica : yes i did.
[22:09]  * genii sips a coffee
[22:10] <SpeakerMania> scguy318, I'm getting the same screen. I think I need the root password to get the shell. My password doesn't work, and I thought the root password/account is "frozen" in ubuntu
[22:10] <TheHobbit> alexmatos, yes
[22:10] <stroogle> Clearze2 - it seems to already have the desktop
[22:10] <ferronica> truckin: looks like text file
[22:10] <nfusco> Why bother with the broadcom restricted driver if it doesnt work! :-)
[22:10] <ikonia> nfusco: why buy hardware if it doesn't work
[22:10] <stroogle> ikonia - xserver-xorg not installed
[22:10] <alexmatos> TheHobbit, damn... no way to fix it?
[22:10] <ikonia> stroogle: install it then
[22:10] <ferronica> truckin: but shortcut working no problem
[22:10] <TheHobbit> alexmatos, I truly do not know, I'm not affected :)
[22:10] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: hmm
[22:10] <ikonia> stroogle: although if you've installed gnome it must be as its a dependency
[22:10] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> hi guys, I'm using a bttv capture card connected to an analog camera and the video resulting from that camera is a bit weird:  the bottom half of the video is green and the top half is in grayscale.... anyone know how to fix?
[22:11] <truckin> ferronica : find xchat in your menu, right click on it and place the shortcut on your desktop, or toolbar. again, use plain old xchat. xchat-gnome totally sucks.
[22:11] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: I know for a fact that you should be dragged to a shell, that happened to me on Feisty, but, I guess LiveCD is the best bet
[22:11] <ernestofreyre> Hi friends
[22:11] <stroogle> ikonia - it's installing now
[22:11] <loxley_> A
[22:11] <nfusco> ikonia, Broadcom seem to be quite popular, its a laptop i picked up recently - would just be nice to get ubuntu on it
[22:11] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: it sounds like you're using a wrong input setting. Are you using xawtv?
[22:11] <GewoonM> hi everybody!
[22:11] <ikonia> nfusco: you've got ubuntu on it
[22:11] <k1gwb> I got the AIM screenname "Hardy Herron" haha
[22:11] <GewoonM> I have a question:
[22:11] <truckin> ferronica : apt-get install xchat if all else fails
[22:12] <ikonia> k1gwb: why is that funny ?
[22:12] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, I'm using "motion"
[22:12] <ikonia> GewoonM: if you want an answer, ask
[22:12] <Cpudan80> CochiseIRL: Thanks man, works great
[22:12] <SpeakerMania> scguy318, okay.
[22:12] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, I also tried it with ekiga and it looks similarly poopy
[22:12] <nomojob> juano__: I've tried everything I can think of and just can't get this error 21 to disappear.  I will probably just uninstall Ubuntu until I hear that the issue is resolved.  Unless you have any other suggestions...
[22:12] <Cpudan80> CochiseIRL++
[22:12] <superid_> anyone running Skype 2 Beta?
[22:12] <k1gwb> cause no one got it before me. And cause I wonder if that is a trademark violation ;)
[22:12] <GewoonM> I've installed firestarter (the firewall) and I see a lot of active connections of which I know nothing
[22:12] <nfusco> ikonia, yeah with -wifi connection, with inet connectivity then should I have said
[22:12] <CochiseIRL> Cpudan80, your welcome
[22:12] <superid_> Camorama detects my camera, Skype does not
[22:12] <CochiseIRL> superid_, yup
[22:12] <juano__> nomojob: no
[22:12] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: theres also a suggestion to
[22:13] <juano__> nomojob: if your in the livecd
[22:13] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: boot with option init=/bin/bash
[22:13] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: then doing
[22:13] <truckin> ferronica : fyi- the normal xchat has a cool icon.
[22:13] <RB2> When you're zipping a directory recursively, does zip create a temp file and then rename it when complete?
[22:13] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: try with xawtv - it lets you set up the card properly and then motion and ekiga should work, too.
[22:13] <ikonia> RB2: yes
[22:13] <superid_> also, Skype seems to be sending all my system audio in a call.. e.g. if I'm listening to music in XMMS or watching something in YouTube the sound gets transmitted
[22:13] <hash> hi all
[22:13] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: mount -o remount,ro /
[22:13] <cody> can anyone help me getting desktop effects working?
[22:13] <Zavius> Can anyone help me figure out why my .desktop files on my desktop are opening with a text editor instead of start an app?
[22:13] <RB2> ikonia, ty!
[22:13] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, ok I'll try that... "sudo apt-get install xawtv" - right?
[22:13] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: but I guess LiveCD is best bet
[22:13] <SpeakerMania> scguy318, how do I boot with that option?
[22:13] <CochiseIRL> cody, graphics card?
[22:13] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: yes
[22:13] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: press e at the GRUB menu to edit your boot options, then add it
[22:13] <cody> ati im pretty sure
[22:14] <nomojob> juano__: If I didnt currently depend on XP so much, I would just uninstall XP, but I cant currently do that so I gues Linux will have to go.
[22:14] <cody> ya
[22:14] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, awesome thanks

[22:16] <juano__> thanks ArthurArchnix
[22:16] <CochiseIRL> Whisperkiller, whats the problem
[22:16] <truckin> ferronica : xchat doesnt install by default if i recall. use apt or synaptic
[22:16] <ArthurArchnix> juano__: Mind if I tune into this and give my two cents?
[22:16] <SpeakerMania> scguy318, I know what the problem is. My keyboard is USB.
[22:16] <cody> cochiseirl  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45416/

[22:16] <Wooderson> scguy318: you know when u click the ubuntu symbol and there options well one of the options and wine and it shows a list of programs... well none of them are installed but they still show up how do i delete them?
[22:17] <juano__> ArthurArchnix: sure
[22:17] <GewoonM> btw, how long do I need to wait before posting the question again if there's no answer?
[22:17] <ferronica> truckin: i just installed it, and i using it right now
[22:17] <scguy318> Wooderson: you can edit menu or check like ~/.local/share

[22:17] <CochiseIRL> cody, have you tried enabling the restricted driver?
[22:17] <mEck0> joeb3_: are the jobs saved permanently in /tmp or must I recreate them after reboot?
[22:17] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: error 21
[22:17] <GewoonM> (was a serious question, though)
[22:17] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: don't know what it does, but it sounds useful. Also, motion allows you to set input options via a config file.
[22:18] <juano__> ArthurArchnix: windows is hd0,0
[22:18] <joeb3_> mEck0, the jobs are saved correctly. you do not have to recreate them
[22:18] <juano__> ArthurArchnix: and linux is hd1,0
[22:18] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, I've completely ignored that option...but I've been playing around with it's config file
[22:18] <truckin> ferronica : the icon will be in applications > internet. it should be labeled xchat irc
[22:18] <juano__> ArthurArchnix: for grub that is
[22:18] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: ill brb a moment, g/l with your issue
[22:18] <pike_> GewoonM: couple min
[22:18] <cody> cochiseirl the only restricted driver i have is a software modem driver i don't think that has anything to do with it but i will anyways
[22:18] <Tomi_G> juano__: No such partition.  -> when I tried 0,0
[22:18] <juano__> nomojob: hd0,0 for windows in grub.lst  and hd1,0 for linux
[22:18] <andersbr> Anyone use dvorak on Ubuntu?  Terminal acts weird and Firefox is stuck in QWERTY mode.
[22:18] <juano__> Tomi_G: yep i expected that
[22:18] <theunixgeek> Hello. I'm following the osdev Bare Bones tutorial for writing a simple kernel. http://www.osdev.org/wiki/Bare_bones I'm a complete noob at this, so please don't assume I know all the terminology you guys do. I'd like to be able to boot the kernel shown in the tutorial in either Bochs or QEMU. How would I go about this?
[22:18] <Whisperkiller> CochiseIRL: fglrx will not install for some reason no matter what i do....i install it but it says its not installed
[22:19] <CochiseIRL> cody, no need, click system > preferances > apperance
[22:19] <juano__> Tomi_G: the boot one is hd0,1 for your windows
[22:19] <CochiseIRL> Whisperkiller, graphics card make/model?
[22:19] <Rictoo> how do I set the location of aterm when I start it?
[22:19] <juano__> Tomi_G: hda2 is boot flagged in sudo fdisk -l
[22:19] <mEck0> joeb3_: ok, thx a lot!
[22:19] <tritium> Whisperkiller: did you follow the wiki instructions?
[22:19] <Whisperkiller> ati radeon x1950 agp....the nightmare card
[22:19] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: look at the input and norm options in there
[22:19] <Adriel> crap.. why can't i change the wireless network i want to connect too now
[22:19] <ferronica> truckin: its not
[22:19] <Tomi_G> juano__: yes, but is doesn't work :((
[22:19] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: You've probably already posted it, but can I get a link to your menu.lst (aka. the grub file)
[22:19] <nomojob> juano__: you mean menu.lst?
[22:20] <juano__> Tomi_G: yea... weird, let me search some google
[22:20] <juano__> nomojob: yea
[22:20] <cody> CochiseIRL ok...
[22:20] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: sure, one sec
[22:20] <Tomi_G> juano__: ok, thx
[22:20] <Whisperkiller> tritium the ones im aware of....the ubuntu pages link me here....it doesnt seem to be working even though ive done everything the way it says
[22:20] <truckin> ferronica : it probably will show up after the system does a rebuild database.
[22:20] <CochiseIRL> Whisperkiller, check the ati site to see if your card is supported by the newest driver
[22:20] <juano__> Tomi_G: is this win xp partition ?
[22:20] <juano__> Tomi_G: or 98 ?
[22:20] <Tomi_G> juano__: XP home
[22:20] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, one of the options I noticed was "ffmpeg_deinterlace on" - which I'd like to have work but gives a "file not found" error in the console
[22:20] <ferronica> truckin: ya may be
[22:20] <CochiseIRL> cody, go to the visual effects tabs and click normal and see if that works
[22:20] <juano__> Tomi_G: ok
[22:20] <ferronica> truckin: one more thing
[22:20] <tritium> Whisperkiller: just making sure you're installing ubuntu packages, first of all...
[22:21] <simon_> still no window borders in gutsy
[22:21] <cody> CochiseIRL desktop effects could not be enabled
[22:21] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45418/
[22:21] <Whisperkiller> cochiseIRL:it is....the newest driver was just released in order to fix problems it was having with black screens on loading x
[22:21] <ferronica> truckin: enable ups discharge alarm not working
[22:21] <pbn> Hi folks, could somebody take a look at bug 164302 I created this morning ? It appears to be a kernel issue... IDE/ATAPI related...
[22:21] <kazol> Where is the GNOME config file?
[22:21] <andreas_> Hi, i have a problem. When i try to mount my newlie formated hdd extention, i get "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000". How can i fix it?  (btw. I am runing Kubuntu)
[22:21] <simon_> im considering reinstalling
[22:21] <CochiseIRL> Whisperkiller, http://ubuntero.org/cochise/weblog/718.html that may work for you
[22:21] <truckin> ferronica - open a terminal window and  type xchat & [hit enter]  xchat should start.
[22:21] <CochiseIRL> simon_, whats happening?
[22:21] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Can you boot either os correctly?
[22:21] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: that's not an input option, though. I think your issue is on the input side of things
[22:22] <Whisperkiller> tritium: i have no real idea....i have done everything i know to do...
[22:22] <simon_> still no window borders
[22:22] <ferronica> truckin: working
[22:22] <Clearze2> simon_: Have you tried compiz --replace &?
[22:22] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix:  I cant boot windows. it brings up the Error 21 and then just sits there
[22:22] <simon_> i edited xorg.conf in a few places but no joy
[22:22] <ArthurArchnix> simon_: What's the problem?
[22:22] <theresa_> why does the account created with the installation allow sudo, but the username isn't listed in /etc/sudoers ?
[22:22] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: I can only boot from live cd
[22:22] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: But you can boot Gutsy?
[22:22] <ubuntuJEW> just installed ubuntu ultimate on a vmware and emerald themer isn't working... why? anyone?
[22:22] <simon_> yes tried that
[22:22] <joeb3_> theresa_, admin group
[22:22] <CochiseIRL> simon_, have you tried metacity --replace
[22:22] <astro76> theresa_, it belongs to the admin group, add users to admin group for sudo access
[22:22] <truckin> ferronica - the ampersand character runs the app in the background. so the terminal is free to do other things.
[22:23] <joeb3_> theresa_, @admin
[22:23] <nevhood> Hello!  Ubuntu doesn't recognize my sound card apparently... is there any way I can identify and install drivers for it?
[22:23] <spiderfire> how do i install my fonts?
[22:23] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: So you can't boot anything, you need to use the live cd.
[22:23] <Whisperkiller> cochiseirl: i will try it....ill be back if it doesnt work
[22:23] <simon_> pfff thanks for that
[22:23] <ferronica> truckin: working
[22:23] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: yes
[22:23] <simon_> theyre back
[22:23] <CochiseIRL> Whisperkiller, no probelm
[22:23] <theresa_> admin or lpadmin?
[22:23] <ferronica> truckin: but ups discharge alarm not working
[22:23] <cody> CochiseIRL the compiz output from terminal has told me that xgl is not present but i don't think that's the case
[22:23] <simon_> Cochise rocks
[22:23] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, you mean theres options for input besides defining "/dev/video0"
[22:23] <simon_> night night
[22:23] <GewoonM> I've installed firestarter (the firewall) and I see a lot of active connections of which I know nothing, what can this be?
[22:24] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Have you checked the connections of both drives, to ensure they're plugged in securely?
[22:24] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: i have XP on one HD and Ubuntu on another
[22:24] <CochiseIRL> simon_, np
[22:24] <theresa_> admin:x:110:jason,theresa
[22:24] <juano__> Tomi_G: i thnk i got it
[22:24] <theresa_> jason will sudo, theresa wont.
[22:24] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: the input and norm options in the motion config file
[22:24] <juano__> Tomi_G: we have to remap
[22:24] <Tomi_G> juano__: yes?
[22:24] <spiderfire> !fonts
[22:24] <ubotu> 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
[22:24] <juano__> Tomi_G: like i said before
[22:24] <Tomi_G> ok, let's remap :D
[22:24] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: yep, I can view files on both drives
[22:24] <CochiseIRL> cody do a search on the forums for xgl and it'll tell you how to enable it, its fairly easy to do and should take no more than 5 mins
[22:24] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: man motion
[22:24] <truckin> ferronica - xchat is a good program. you can create a shortcut from anywhere and choose the icon from /usr/share/icons if you wish.
[22:24] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, oh yeah now I know what you're talking about
[22:25] <TequilaWORM> Hi, Its a way to run mknod as a regular user?
[22:25] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: i've been at this for like 8 hours now, I hope there's a way around it
[22:25] <ferronica> truckin: xchat gnome or xchat only
[22:25] <andreas_> Hi, i have a problem. When i try to mount my newlie formated hdd extention, i get "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000". How can i fix it?  (btw. I am runing Kubuntu)
[22:25] <juano__> Tomi_G: leave hd0,1 as before and add these 2 lines after the last entries:   map  (hd0)  (hd1)     ,    map  (hd1)  (hd0)   in seperate lines
[22:25] <soundray> !sound > nevhood, please read ubotu's private message, try some of the things suggested and see if you can pinpoint the problem. If not, come back and ask a more precise question.
[22:26] <nevhood> soundray - thanks
[22:26] <ubuntuJEW> is there a better way to run linux in windows?
[22:26] <kupesoft> Where can I read about limit the resources of a program (i. e. cpu percentage it can use)
[22:26] <truckin> ferronica - xchat only, xchat-gnome is...well silly. use plain xchat only.
[22:26] <ferronica> truckin: ok
[22:26] <pike_> kupesoft: man ulimit?
[22:26] <hash> i can't scroll in firefox by clicking scroll why?
[22:26] <soundray> ubuntuJEW: better than?
[22:26] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Grub sometimes messes up on two disc installs... it can be fixed though.
[22:27] <gcarrillo> how do i read an sgml file?
[22:27] <ubuntuJEW> vmware player
[22:27] <gcarrillo> or view it?
[22:27] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: cool, any idea where to go from here?
[22:27] <pike_> kupesoft: well you said cpu see also nice
[22:27] <patrickkkk> hey im trying to see if i can get my Micro, Inc. Integrated MS/xD Controller  (memory card reader) to work with ubuntu, but when i search it comes up with people listing their lspci commands
[22:27] <patrickkkk> any ideas?
[22:27] <kupesoft> pike_: man ulimit doesn't work
[22:27] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Have you tried changing the order of discs booted in your bios? That is, usually it's hd1 then hd1, so swap it?
[22:27] <juano__> Tomi_G: the thing is that usually this is if you have more than 1 hard disk
[22:27] <ubuntuJEW> soundray: vmware player
[22:27] <peter_> set 0 to 1
[22:27] <juano__> Tomi_G: but it doesnt hurt to try
[22:28] <kupesoft> pike_: I don't want to modify the scheduling priority (nice)
[22:28] <Tomi_G> juano__: ok
[22:28] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: i have tried all different combinations in the BIOS
[22:28] <RobJ> Hey guys, When trying to log into Ubuntu, i get a 'session lasted less than 10 seconds' message...   can someone help me resolve this please.
[22:28] <theresa_> still isn't working, i'm added to the admin group
[22:28] <stroogle_> ikonia - on the gnome desktop install, i've been fiddling with the reconfigure and i think it's being thrown by my widescreen acer monitor - don't know what to do
[22:28] <soundray> ubuntuJEW: I've done a couple of installations in VMware Server with Windows as host
[22:28] <juano__> Tomi_G: this makes a virtual swap and changes disks, but usually corrects booting from non primary partitions
[22:28] <ikonia> stroogle_: I don't think its been thrown at all
[22:28] <peter_> ?????
[22:29] <pike_> kupesoft: not sure why you dont have the man page  'ulimit -a' will show the current settings for your session
[22:29] <ikonia> stroogle_: wide screen monitors are normally fine
[22:29] <juano__> Tomi_G: ill keep looking
[22:29] <CochiseIRL> could someone have a look at this, http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/9605/screenshotfirestarterdetp5.png its a screen shot of my firestarter events tab is this normal?
[22:29] <Tomi_G> km
[22:29] <Tomi_G> nhð
[22:29] <kupesoft> pike_: I want to start an instance of qemu as a service (i. e. virtual private servers)
[22:29] <juano__> Tomi_G: just in case something else shows up
[22:29] <Tomi_G> juano__: thx :)
[22:29] <joeb3_> theresa_, is the user listed above the group entry?
[22:29] <kupesoft> pike_: qemu lets you specify how much memory to use, but doesn't let you set the cpu usage,
[22:29] <soundray> RobJ: did it let you look at the session error log?
[22:29] <ubuntuJEW> soundray: me too but i can't get things to run right. emerald themer not working
[22:29] <hash> sorry for this "I can't scroll in firefox by clicking scroll why?"
[22:29] <RobJ> soundray, it didnt contain anything, it was blank
[22:30] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: status?
[22:30] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, the main differences I see in switching between inputs is the framerate.  Input 1 has a very fast framerate, whereas the others are extremely slow
[22:30] <pike_> kupesoft: hmm maybe you could setup a user with a ulimit on -t  which is cpu time.  export the display to your current xsession and su - user -c "qemu something"
[22:30] <stroogle_> ikonia - something's twisted, after i do 'startx' i get a fatal error
[22:30] <soundray> ubuntuJEW: yes, I had issues with GL programs in general. I could start one, but when I started a second, it crashed X. Reported on launchpad
[22:30] <pike_> kupesoft: that is the limit of my knowledge though ;p
[22:30] <ikonia> stroogle_: check the log file for the "EE" error
[22:30] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: in other forums it says that Error 21 means that GRUB cant read from the disk or something
[22:31] <scguy318> kupesoft: nice the process?
[22:31] <soundray> RobJ: can you login on a text console? (Switch to it with Ctrl-Alt-F2)
[22:31] <asathoor> hi
[22:31] <jacob> what is dvdauthor?
[22:31] <Clearze2> pike_: Just hope he doesn't accidentally create a logic bomb
[22:31] <stroogle_> ikonia - yeah!  EE /dev/wacom no such device or file
[22:31] <RobJ> soundray, yes i can.
[22:31] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Typically, what happens is that you install to mbr, which in your case is sda. This overwrites you windows bootloader.
[22:31] <hash> sorry for this "I can't scroll in firefox by clicking scroll why?"
[22:31] <ikonia> stroogle_: that shouldln't be a fatal error, thats not a problem
[22:31] <soundray> RobJ: do a 'cat .xsession-errors' and see if it's really empty
[22:31] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: is it just not finding either OS then?
[22:32] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Then grub loads and looks for /boot/grub/menu.lst but it looks on the /sda whereas linux its actually on /sdb
[22:32] <kupesoft> pike_: ulimit -t will kill a process after it eats that many cpu time in seconds, not what I want
[22:32] <andreas_> Hi, i have a problem. When i try to mount my newlie formated hdd extention, i get "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000". How can i fix it?  (btw. I am runing Kubuntu)
[22:32] <JoeThomas> Hi, I have an old 7.04 Server edition cd, but can't install because of the ubuntu archive mirror.
[22:32] <kupesoft> pike_: I want to basically allot the qemu instance like 10% of my cpu at any given time,
[22:32] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: It should find it anyway, on sdb, but for some reason with you, it hasn't.
[22:32] <kupesoft> pike_: I'll look in to it,
[22:32] <scguy318> kupesoft: i guess experiment with nice values
[22:32] <slylock> hello guys
[22:32] <pike_> kupesoft: i see. good luck
[22:32] <RobJ> soundray, It has just made a new line, not dont anything
[22:32] <stroogle_> ikonia - so how to proceed?
[22:32] <slylock> does any one here use latex
[22:32] <slylock> ?
[22:32] <truckin> andreas_ use sudo mount ...
[22:32] <ferronica> enable ups discharge alarm not working. (I am using APC  back up ups ES 650Y)
[22:32] <ubuntuJEW> soundray: is there something better out there? like porting?
[22:32] <ikonia> stroogle_: look at the EE errors
[22:32] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Could it be an isue with master / slave pin settings? I didn' think this mattered with sata drives though.
[22:32] <kupesoft> scguy318: nice = scheduling priority, I don't think this has to do with that (thought it may)...
[22:33] <soundray> RobJ: okay. Does 'df -h' output indicate that you have a full disk?
[22:33] <jacob> how do i use dvdauthor?
[22:33] <hash> "I can't scroll in firefox by clicking scroll why?"
[22:33] <stroogle_> ikonia - what's a way to look at the log please?
[22:33] <nevhood> I am trying to create a directory in /usr/src... access is denied.  What can I do?
[22:33] <scguy318> kupesoft: well, my thinking is that if qemu has lower priority, it would take less CPU time, but eh
[22:33] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: i dont know much about that
[22:33] <ikonia> stroogle_: in a text editor
[22:33] <soundray> ubuntuJEW: I don't know -- I didn't look, because I was able to work around the problem
[22:33] <JoeThomas> nevhood: sudo
[22:33] <kupesoft> scguy318: Yeah, true, I'll look in to it (;
[22:33] <joeb3_> which of the events under sounds will play a file when someone types a message to you in xchat?
[22:33] <mEck0> is there ant app/desklet which works as a countdown timer? I want to e.g. write which day I have exams, and want to see how many days there are left...
[22:33] <RobJ> soundray, /dev/sdb3 reports its using 100%, though when i partitioned i told it to use 'max', which is around 80gb
[22:33] <andreas_> truckin: sudo mount ??? then wat?  Yes i am a neewbie
[22:33] <truckin> nevhood - root owns that, sudo is required to write to it.
[22:33] <gcarrillo> how do i view docbook files?
[22:34] <RobJ> soundray, it says the size is 2.1gb
[22:34] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: cant we just make it look in sdb?
[22:34] <nevhood> thank you JoeThomas and truckin
[22:34] <ArthurArchnix> Does ubuntu label sata drives as sda,b etc, and non-sata as hda,b, etc?
[22:34] <ubuntuJEW> anyone know of a better way (than VMware) to run linux through windows? anyone?
[22:34] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: I believe that is the case
[22:34] <soundray> RobJ: is /dev/sdb3 the only data partition that ubuntu uses?
[22:34] <stroogle_> ikonia - oh i remember, like vi, but how to find the name of the log file to look at?
[22:34] <ikonia> ubuntuJEW any virtualisation
[22:34] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: and its not really SATA, SCSI drives have sdx naming
[22:34] <truckin> andreas_ - mounting drives usually requires superuser access, preceed the command with 'sudo' and use your user password.
[22:34] <ikonia> stroogle_: /var/log/X.0.log
[22:35] <hash> 1 time for a page "I can't scroll in firefox by clicking scroll why?"
[22:35] <astro76> ArthurArchnix, everything is sdx as ubuntu uses libata
[22:35] <ubuntuJEW> ikonia: ex....
[22:35] <scguy318> stroogle_: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[22:35] <ikonia> ubuntuJEW: what ?
[22:35] <RobJ> soundray, I'm unsure... It's the only /dev/ that is there...   is it worth me booting into my windows hdd, and checkign my partitions with paragon?
[22:35] <ikonia> scguy318: thank you, my typo
[22:35] <ubuntuJEW> ikonia: examples?
[22:35] <scguy318> ikonia: np
[22:35] <ikonia> ubuntuJEW: no idea
[22:35] <ArthurArchnix> astro76: THanks. Trying to resolve some grub issues.
[22:35] <ubuntuJEW> ty
[22:35] <xero_server> HELP! I just updated my laptop from 7.04 to 7.10. when i rebooted, i was asked to enable a restricted driver for my wireless card, a bcm4306. It asked me to reboot again. When i reboot, the computer freeses right after the bootloader exits. When i try to reboot in recovery mode I get an error message /init: /init: 181: cannot open /root/dev/console: Permission Denied. Then it says Kernel Panic, attempting to kill init. What should I do?
[22:36] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: You had one hd in your compuer with xp right? Then what did you do, add a 20 gig hd and plug it in?
[22:36] <mEck0> I have rsync -az source/ dest/ in my crontab, it worked perfectly, but I wonder how rsync works. It backed up my dir for the first time now, but will it only backup new files and changes tomorrow if there is any or the whole dir again?
[22:36] <frost0> juano__, i didn't work...gonna eat brb
[22:36] <joeb3_> mEck0, you are correct!
[22:36] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: I have had 2 120GB drives for awhile.  One had XP and other programs and the second one was mainly for storage.
[22:36] <juano__> frost0: mm maybe it needs some extra parameters
[22:37] <juano__> frost0: what part didnt work ?
[22:37] <mEck0> joeb3_: thx :)
[22:37] <andreas_> truckin: Yeah. But, i'll need to state whitch partition i want to monunt, and where i want to mount it? Right?
[22:37] <hash>  "I can't scroll in firefox by clicking scroll why?"
[22:37] <RedBand> I lost my sound trying to get virtualbox's sound to work, and everything else is now acting weird. sudo and gksudo doesn't work, most of Administration disappeared (I can't add it back). I am downloading gutsy amd64 iso right now (lost my gutsy cd), and hope to burn it. Can I do it with ubuntu's default burner, or am I screwed (I still have dapper cds).
[22:37] <soundray> ubuntuJEW: I don't think you get accelerated 3D graphics in any virtualization software other than vmware
[22:37] <soundray> RobJ: no, if that's the only partition that df -h mentions, then there is no other. Can you run 'sudo fdisk -l', put it on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and let me have the URL?
[22:38] <Seeeb> hey, what is the command to create a file in a terminal?
[22:38] <Juggernot> Ubuntu rocks.
[22:38] <truckin> andreas_ thats correct. example sudo mount /dev/cdrom0  /media/cdrom
[22:38] <LjL-Temp> Seeeb: "touch" creates an empty file, if that's what you want
[22:38] <joeb3_> Seeeb, tuch filename
[22:38] <hash> seeeb touch filename
[22:38] <Seeeb> thanks

[22:38] <GewoonM> I've installed firestarter (the firewall) and I see a lot of active connections of which I know nothing, what can this be?
[22:38] <oliver__> hi, i get a message dma timer expiry since ive updated to 7.10. does somebody has a similar errormsg?
[22:39] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: did you get that?
[22:39] <joeb3_> GewoonM, are most of them by 127.0.0.1?
[22:39] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> lol 3 people answered seeb with "touch filename"
[22:39] <Jangari> how does the kubuntu desktop compare with gnome?
[22:39] <RobJ> soundray, im not sure how im going to do that, as im on my laptop now, and i cannot boot into ubuntu
[22:39] <tmbm> need help
[22:39] <RedBand> can I use ubuntu's default burner to burn an iso?
[22:39] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: The surest way to fix the problem would be to swap the connections of the xp and linux drive, making linux sda and xp sdb, Then disconnect windows drive altogether. Then reinstall grub. Then reconnect the xp drive and add it to grub.
[22:39] <tmbm> anyone got psp
[22:39] <LjL> Jangari: install it and see.
[22:39] <scguy318> RedBand: yes
[22:39] <Pelo> Jangari, kubuntu uses kde for a desktop, it's a mather of personnal prefs
[22:39] <joeb3_> RedBand, yes
[22:39] <RedBand> okay, thanks
[22:39] <hash>  "I can't scroll in firefox by clicking scroll why?"
[22:39] <riotkitt1e> Jangari: kde is...  well, really, it depends on your own personal tastes. some say its more like windows and easier for new users...
[22:39] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> Jangari, it's different... I think it's a matter of personal preference.  Different default programs, different interface, tc... I personally do not like KDE and find programs to be memory hgos
[22:39] <andreas_> truckin: So in this case: "sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/sda3" ?
[22:39] <vas> hey I am using a Macbook Pro with gutsy, and I was told that my macbook remote is connecting under, /dev/hiddev0, now can I check this?
[22:40] <truckin> andreas_  example sudo mount /dev/sda1  /media/disk. you must create the mountpoint yourself in typical cases.
[22:40] <ArthurArchnix> You can fix your current install, it's just a matter of messing with your bios settings and maybe your jumper settings on the drives, master / slave settings.
[22:40] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: good lord.
[22:40] <orion1> Hey guys im having some trouble with vncserver anyone know how to use it?
[22:40] <riotkitt1e> i think it's obnoxious but you can install it alongside gnome and be able to use both.

[22:43] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: I will try that.  Can I possibly have your email or AIM name so we can continue if I need some more help?
[22:43] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: If you remove the xp drive and connect the wire to the ubuntu drive, when you install grub it will install to the mbr of the linux drive. Easiest way to reinstall is from the live cd. I'll find the link. And remember, you problem is bios/pin settings. You might fix it by trial and error changin the boot order and such in your bios.

[22:46] <techjim> what's different about feisty to gutsy?  does gutsy have a composition manager running by default?  I've turned off desktop effects but video still lags.  How do I turn off this composition manager
[22:46] <meoblast001> when i shut off my effects, it worked.... would Emerald or Compiz-Fusion be causing the problem?
[22:46] <GewoonM> joeb3_: nope, it's not in 'system monitor' under processes
[22:46] <daemon3> Man, Ubuntu does not like my system.
[22:46] <frost0> juano__, so it really doesn't work
[22:46] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Sorry no. But chances are you'll get someone who's even better at this stuff so dont' worry about it.
[22:46] <GewoonM> joeb3_: do you have any other ideas?
[22:46] <Pelo> pici let me have my first one , I'm new at this

[22:46] <joeb3_> GewoonM, does 'ps -ef' show any of the program still running?
[22:46] <techjim> meoblast001: should I remove compiz?
[22:47] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: ok
[22:47] <soundray> RobJ: this is giving me a bit of an idea of your hard disk layout. Perhaps you should try 'sudo cfdisk /dev/hdb' now to see if there is unpartitioned space
[22:47] <orion1> Hello, I am having some trouble i am able to start my vncserver and remote to the desktop but what i remote is not gnome its just an active desktop with a terminal but it doesnt have any options to do anything
[22:47] <vas> hey how can I read the data from a device on /dev/input/event7
[22:47] <techjim> meoblast001: compiz isn't running but I really think it's the composition manager.  effects is fof
[22:47] <meoblast001> techjim: ? why would you remove compiz
[22:47] <frost0> orion1, did you enable....allow other users to use desktop?
[22:47] <meoblast001> ok
[22:47] <vas> it is a remote, and I want to write a bash script that returns the data coming in from this, what commands would show the data coming in from /dev/input/event7
[22:47] <techjim> meoblast001: I do'nt need a flashy composition manager
[22:47] <meoblast001> ill try something i found in compizconfig

[22:48] <poeloq> does anybody know a good SIP client that can possibly handle several accounts and is not called Ekiga?
[22:48] <truckin> andreas_- you must create the mountpoint first.  try sudo mkdir /media/disk
[22:48] <soundray> RobJ: okay, but /dev/sdb1 doesn't show up in df -h ?
[22:48] <Pelo> techjim, what is your issue
[22:48] <orion1> frost0: i only have access to the machine though ssh. I can start an active desktop with the command "vncserver :1"
[22:48] <vas> Pelo, alright I wil check there, but why EVERY time i ever go into any channels, I am reffered always to about 3 other channels which reffer me back to one-another
[22:48] <meoblast001> all fixed

[22:49] <scguy318> poeloq: dunno, but try searching in Synaptic with the word SIP

[22:49] <Pelo> vas, I'm not trying to get rid of you ,  but you are now asking about scripting and this is mostly a support chanel for installation issues and general congif
[22:49] <CochiseIRL> Luke, windows key + e i think
[22:49] <frost0> orion1, can't you just go to start/system/preferences/remote desktop?
[22:49] <joeb3_> GewoonM, don't know what else.
[22:49] <orion1> joeb3_: can you paste bin your xstartup file because i think i might of messed mine up
[22:49] <frost0> orion1, and then enable all the options..
[22:50] <frost0> orion1, maybe i am misunderstanding your question..

[22:51] <orion1> frost0: yes sorry for cap lock
[22:51] <techjim> Pelo: if there are stable updates, shouldn't update-manager let me know?
[22:51] <frost0> orion1, did that work?
[22:51] <soundray> RobJ: so it mounts -- see if there's any data on it: 'ls /mnt'
[22:51] <Sigma6> ooeoe
[22:52] <andreas_> Okay!=)  Thx for the help:)
[22:52] <orion1> joeb3_: do you start it with vncserver :1 or do you have to run that as root?
[22:52] <CochiseIRL> techjim, open vlc, click settings > preferences, tick the box for advanced options,
[22:52] <soundray> RobJ: probably only 'lost+found'

[22:54] <soundray> RobJ: I could try to help you recover from that, but perhaps you would just like to reinstall?
[22:54] <Pelo> techjim,  for the upgrade, I recomemnt you get the alt cd or the dvd and upgrade from those, it is quicker then online

[22:55] <techjim> CochiseIRL: which? x11 output, what screen should I put it on? 0?
[22:55] <techjim> Pelo: add-on.  pci I think

[22:55] <linxeh> is there a way to lock a user account down to only allow scp operations within a particular directory (eg chroot?), and to deny ssh login sessions ?
[22:55] <frost0> juano__, are you afk?

[22:56] <orion1> joe3_: do you know how to kill a desktop once you start one?
[22:56] <techjim> everything was fine in eft but now I have this mouse cursor issue.  I think its because my graphics card doesn't have enough RAM to remember everything on the screen so it just leaves dated stuff, but this wasn't always the case on ubuntu
[22:56] <RobJ> soundray, i meant to say /dev/sdb3
[22:56] <techjim> Pelo: restricted

[22:56] <daemon3> Can anyone see the words I'm typing?
[22:56] <soundray> RobJ: I think it might be easier to remove the swap partition, expand /dev/sdb3 into that space, then subdivide /dev/sdb1 into a 1GB swap and a 67GB home
[22:56] <joeb3_> orion1, vncserver -kill :1
[22:57] <Pelo> techjim,  got compiz working ? turn it off , see if it gets better
[22:57] <truckin> andreas_ : when you mount drives or partitions, you must specify permissions and filesystem types properly. Highly advise you to read the ubuntu help pages on the mount command, its not hard.
[22:57] <techjim> Pelo: how do I turn it off? desktop effects- already tried
[22:57] <scguy318> fantum13: hmm dunno

[22:57] <ubotu> 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
[22:57] <soundray> RobJ: then all you need to do is move your /home data to the new 67GB one and adapt /etc/fstab so it mounts this as home.
[22:57] <xero_server> !mplayer
[22:57] <ubotu> mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs

[22:59] <soundray> RobJ: once you've set up the partitions as you want them, you should boot a live CD and use that to move the data and adapt fstab. I'm sure you'll find someone here who will help you if need be.
[22:59] <truckin> ompaul - ok, thank you
[22:59] <kinglet> when I'm installing, Its stop in 82% and do not anything else

[23:10] <Fraggy4> Pelo: non are missing, it just thinks that python-support is missing
[23:10] <kinglet> why?
[23:10] <BejeweledPudenda> I want to install k9copy v. 1.2.0 -- how can I do that?  debian-multimedia respository has broken dependenicies.
[23:10] <kinglet> where is it?
[23:10] <hash> Pelo for now thx
[23:10] <soundray> stroogle_: unless you have the alternate install CD, you'll have to download the packages.
[23:10] <frost0> i have a script http://pastebin.com/m44852414 that is supposed to when clicked open an application after closing compiz and avant window navigator...then when i close that program it is supposed to restore those two applications---Any ideas why it doesn't work?
[23:10] <Pelo> kinglet,  you need to download, not order it online
[23:11] <stroogle_> soundray - will do
[23:11] <BejeweledPudenda> I want to install k9copy v. 1.2.0 -- how can I do that?

[23:11] <Fraggy4> Pelo: none are missing, it just thinks that python-support is missing
[23:12] <felipe__> somebody can help me deal with multiple soundcards in ubuntu? :(
[23:12] <MartYanu3> Hi, I synced my server time with another one and now the time is with 4 hours back, how can I change it back please?
[23:12] <truckin> felipe__: apt-cache search default sound card. then system > preferences > defaut sound card
[23:12] <ikonia> truckin: ntpdate ;)
[23:12] <Pelo> Fraggy4,  could be , at this point I donT' know anymore
[23:12] <Pelo> Fraggy4, you have a deb file,  open it with gdebi , and check the dependency section make sure they are all there and that all the -dev of those dependencies aer also installed
[23:13] <joeb3_> MartYanu3, does /etc/timezone have your correct timezone?
[23:13] <Olde> god I'm dumb here...
[23:13] <sibylle> no but there are some crazy informations for newcomers.
[23:13] <Fraggy4> Pelo: I did, they are
[23:13] <Olde> I have root access
[23:13] <Pelo> Fraggy4, I give up
[23:13] <soundray> frost0: sorry, I can't help with that.
[23:13] <aoupi> Is there any game like this for ubunut? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsTqspnvAaI
[23:13] <truckin> ikonia - i didnt ask about ntpdate.
[23:13] <ikonia> Olde: you shouldn't have, ubuntu doesn't use root
[23:13] <ikonia> truckin: no, but that is the best way to set your time back in sync
[23:13] <frost0> soundray, k thx
[23:13] <Olde> or sudo access rather.
[23:13] <Olde> that's what I meant
[23:13] <nomojob> aoupi: lol, Ubunut!
[23:13] <sibylle> of corse
[23:14] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: yes
[23:14] <truckin> ikonia - i didnt ask though, i know that, thx just the sme :)
[23:14] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: it worked!!!
[23:14] <aoupi> nomojob: what you still use ubuntu? that's old!
[23:14] <ikonia> truckin: then just use the date command to set the clock
[23:14] <Olde> what does zip drive fall under as far as /dev goes please
[23:14] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: What did you do?
[23:14] <nomojob> aoupi: hah!
[23:14] <sibylle> is there a battle ?
[23:14] <felipe__> truckin: god bless you. :) really
[23:14] <Pelo> Olde,  check in my computer, it should be listed
[23:15] <kbrooks> Olde, um, look at the system log, system > administration
[23:15] <kinglet> Pelo, is this the true link? http://ubuntu.snet.uz/releases/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso
[23:15] <felipe__> truckin: you should put this in alsa wiki for multiple cards for who has ubuntu
[23:15] <Pelo> kinglet, that look about right
[23:15] <truckin> felipe__: i hope it works for you.
[23:15] <jacob> are there any disadvantages or disadvantages of the xine or mplayer plugin for firefox?
[23:15] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: swithed the cable. the second HD is now plugged in as the Master.  I dont have the other HD hooked up though.  The one that has XP on it.
[23:15] <felipe__> truckin: still it didnt work right now. it just works after restarting?
[23:15] <knoppix_2000> Hey, is Blackbol still here?
[23:15] <jacob> which one is the best for me?
[23:15] <sibylle> no while there are some freeks that gives good staff
[23:15] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: what do I do now?  Just hook it up and reboot to see what happens?
[23:15] <hatter> joeb3_,  no wins server,  which has been another issue, stupid windows updates turning on lmhosts lookup
[23:15] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: So right now you can boot ubuntu without problems?
[23:15] <nickrud> kinglet: try releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 , those are the canonical ones
[23:16] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix:  btw, I did have to change the numbers in the menu.lst
[23:16] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix:  yes, up and running
[23:16] <tifine> anybody from uk plz please post their sources.list file contents?
[23:16] <Fraggy4> I cant get python-gtk2 to install, it says it's missing python-support, but it is already instaleld
[23:16]  * Pelo thknks nickrud is hankering for an ass whooping,  contradicting him in public like that 
[23:16] <ikonia> tifine: why
[23:16] <nickrud> rflmao
[23:16] <joeb3_> hatter, either use a wins server or update the lmhosts on the linux boxes.
[23:16] <tifine> i messedup mine one thats y
[23:16] <T1m0thy> I just installed my ATI driver on my desktop, installed fusion-icon, set it to start in my sessions, and then edited the /usr/bin/compiz file to accept all graphics. I then pressed ctrl + alt + backspace, logged in, and it loaded up to my desktop. Then quickly after my desktop loaded, white took over the screen. I can click and drag on my GNOME panels and I get a little grab hand, so I know the desktops still there and stuff..
[23:16] <knoppix_2000> Does anyone know how to have ubuntu reset/check the video card from the command line?
[23:16] <ikonia> knoppix_2000: what ?
[23:17] <truckin> felipe__: right click on the  toolbar speaker, look for the option of sound devices and experiment. it takes a few tries.
[23:17] <kinglet> nickrud, Pelo said to me I must download Alternate version of Ubuntu, I don know realy! finally which of thease I must downloading?
[23:17] <joeb3_> hatter, If it takes a long time to do anything, but it finally comes up, that's the problem.
[23:17] <ikonia> knoppix_2000: reset or check the video card ? check it for what
[23:17] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix:  it is installing all the updates right now
[23:17] <meoblast001> how do you access the Wine regestry database in Gusty
[23:17] <hatter> joeb3_,  or turn of wins lookup on the clients...
[23:17] <sibylle> c.u
[23:17] <tifine> ikona: i messedup mine one thats y
[23:17] <Olde> brb
[23:17] <hatter> joeb3_, why are you saying to use a wins server ?
[23:17] <tifine> ikonia: i messedup mine one thats y
[23:17] <knoppix_2000> cant get the desktop to show up anymore
[23:17] <knoppix_2000> thanks ikonia
[23:17] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Ok, so you can boot ubuntu but xp isn't plugged in. Well, best plug xp in and start troubleshooting that now. Go ahead and reboot and try to login to XP. I don't think you'll be able to. When you come back, post the output of "fdisk -l" and "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[23:17] <hatter> joeb3_, why would anyone want to use a wins server if you dont have to ?
[23:17] <ikonia> knoppix_2000: can you expand on that a bit more
[23:17] <frojnd> hello there I have a difficult problems with my network, it seems like wireless networ is waifing, when I ping my router I get: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45425/  What could this be?
[23:18] <Pelo> joeb3_,  a few minutes
[23:18] <felipe__> truckin: i'll try this. i really hope this works. :(
[23:18] <hatter> anyways, thats not the problem with this slowness,  thats a different issue
[23:18] <joeb3_> hatter, wins server will have a list of all the machines, so they will not have to broadcast for them
[23:18] <unbeatabl> hi, i have freetype installed via yum, and was wondering where the freetype files are in the system?
[23:18] <Pelo> T1m0thy,  I think you should ask in #compiz-fusion about this I think it might be related
[23:18] <knoppix_2000> sure. the short version: ubuntu won't boot into Xwindows
[23:18] <hatter> joeb3_, a netbios list ?
[23:18] <joeb3_> hatter, yes
[23:18] <ikonia> knoppix_2000: thats not very help.
[23:18] <ikonia> helpful
[23:18] <kazol> Could someone help me with an issue with Network Manager?-It does not retain my WPA key (even though it displays some sort of key) and I have to type it in each time I boot.
[23:18] <nickrud> kinglet: yes, alternate is best, I just didn't recognize the site; you can check after downloading that the iso is correct, but let ubuntu select a mirror for you by using their official release site
[23:18] <joeb3_> hatter, lmhosts file does the same
[23:18] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix:  I noticed on the boot menu, it has a something like Windows Whistler (something, something) listed.  What is that?
[23:18] <knoppix_2000> the long version: I tried adding a monitor on my notebook
[23:18] <ikonia> knoppix_2000: what happens, does it hang, do you get an error, what ?
[23:19] <Pelo> kinglet,  the link you had earlier was ok go with that
[23:19] <hatter> joeb3_, oh yes it will...  which would be a good idea for a samba server
[23:19] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix:  i guess i'll find out
[23:19] <hatter> but has 7.10 changed the amount of broadcasting ?
[23:19] <orion1> I have vncserver working but when i use the command "vncserver" and start an active desktopp i have to be root for it to give me a gnome desktop. If i do that when i am not root it does not give me a gnome desktop it gives me something with a grey background. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[23:19] <joeb3_> hatter, winblows will try wins for a few minutes, then dns
[23:19] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: be back in a minute!
[23:19] <Pelo> nickrud, if kinglet followed my instrucitnosn on getting the alt-cd the link it probabgly just a mirror
[23:19] <hatter> joeb3_, not if lmhosts lookup is turned off
[23:19]  * Pelo jsut can't keep up tonight
[23:19] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix:  well, i have to wait for the updates first...
[23:19] <knoppix_2000> the video on the notebook changed. when I rebooted there was nothing. It shows the boot log but no prompt
[23:19] <kinglet> Pelo tnx , nickrud its the closer server for me :P
[23:19] <kazol> Could someone help me with an issue with Network Manager?-It does not retain my WPA key (even though it displays some sort of key) and I have to type it in each time I boot.
[23:20] <joeb3_> orion1, did the xstartup work?
[23:20] <nickrud> kinglet: as long as you trust it :)
[23:20] <kinglet> nickrud and Pelo tnx for ur help duds
[23:20] <knoppix_2000> when I boot in safe mode I try to start the gdm
[23:20] <ikonia> knoppix_2000: boot into safe mode and check your xorg.conf file
[23:20] <larson9999> hmmm, i have a network drive mounted on a feisty and a gutys machine.  the server is gutsy.  was working fine on both but the gutsy client quit working.
[23:20] <ikonia> knoppix_2000: you won't be able to start gdm in safe mode
[23:20] <Pelo> !wifi | kazol  maybe this will hlep
[23:20] <ubotu> kazol  maybe this will hlep: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[23:20] <knoppix_2000> It says it's starting but nothing shows
[23:20] <knoppix_2000> ok
[23:20] <knoppix_2000> xorg.conf
[23:20]  * Pelo and nickrud  tag teaming another problem successfully
[23:20] <knoppix_2000> what should I look for?
[23:20] <hatter> joeb3_, are you aware of any change in 7.10 regarding wins or samba or lookups ?
[23:20] <orion1> joeb3_: i just reinstalled vncserver and it worked idk
[23:21] <Pelo> !dualhead | knoppix_2000
[23:21] <ubotu> knoppix_2000: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[23:21] <ikonia> knoppix_2000: check its config, what video driver, the monitor definition
[23:21] <orion1> joeb3_: do you have to run sudo vncserver for it to work?
[23:21]  * nickrud sniffs, 'correcting a problem' is more like it
[23:21] <knoppix_2000> thx
[23:21] <joeb3_> hatter, not aware of any changes.
[23:21] <hatter> joeb3_,  cool thx. this slowness appears related to 7.10
[23:21] <RobJ> soundray, okay ive expanded my partition space, not on ubuntu boot, it said, "/dev/sdb3: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY."    so i typed it in :P, I think its loading now, unsure though...  i'll see what happens and then update you. ;-)
[23:21] <knoppix_2000> at this point I just want to get one monitor back (the one on the notebook)
[23:22] <ikonia> knoppix_2000: I've told you what to do
[23:22] <joeb3_> orion1, I run it as a regular user.  Try it with the :1
[23:22] <knoppix_2000> yes. thanks all
[23:22] <ikonia> knoppix_2000: go to safe mode and do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:22] <knoppix_2000> I'll have to shut down knoppix and reboot into ubuntu
[23:22] <Pelo> best ofluck
[23:22] <AzMoo> Hey is this the right place to ask questions about JeOS?
[23:22] <ikonia> AzMoo: no
[23:22] <kazol> Could someone help me with an issue with Network Manager?-It does not retain my WPA key (even though it displays some sort of key) and I have to type it in each time I boot.

[23:24] <kazol> Pelo: Yes, and I made a post.
[23:25] <Pelo> joeamined, totem doesn't handle dvd menues you'd  have to use another player  mplayer, xine , vlc for that

[23:31] <Pelo> Almar, open fileroller from the application menu then open the rar file from the file > open menu , you'll get more info
[23:31] <Pelo> hatter, launchpad ?
[23:32] <ArthurArchnix> slylock: Short answer is yes, it's pretty much a realplayer replacement.
[23:32] <joeb3_> orion1, pastebin gives me an error about javascript.  I only have the one line about the gnome-session.

[23:37] <LjL> is there any package providing a command that executes a command *only if* said command is not already running? i find 'monit' and 'restartd', but i'm looking for something simpler, that allows to just do a "start-unless-already-running commandname parameters"
[23:38] <RobJ> soundray, not sure if your still here but im reinstalling Ubuntu...   im also making sure it does a full format of my hdd so i have full space :)
[23:38] <orion1> joe3: i am now having a problem with my keyboard. What i am typing is not what is comming up on the screen
[23:38] <misterecs> UBUNTU NEWBIE --> My NIC is not recognized by Ubuntu. Please Help. It's DELL Ubuntu Box, and worked fine out of the box, but upon a FRESH INSTALL, now fails to be recognized by the system. HELP!
[23:39] <orion1> When i hit the b key i am getting the char s
[23:39] <vellu_> #ostos
[23:39] <Freaky_T> misterecs, was the fresh install with a different version?
[23:39] <joeb3_> orion1, in the vnc connection?
[23:39] <crdlb> LjL: pgrep <command> || <command> ?
[23:39] <ArthurArchnix> misterecs: Failure to be recognized is different from failing to work. In a terminal type "lspci | grep Ethernet" without quotes
[23:40] <orion1> joe3b: yea
[23:40] <misterecs> FREAKY_T --> I formatted the hard drive & installed with the 7.04 Disk that came with the computer.
[23:40] <orion1> joe3b: should i restart the server?
[23:40] <joeb3_> orion1, no idea on that one
[23:40] <LjL> crdlb: won't cut it, because there are multiple processes running at the same time that are started using the very same command line - but *each* of those must be checked separately
[23:41] <orion1> k
[23:41] <hatter> how often does netbios want to query a wins server ?
[23:41] <xargon> anyone know how to get vlc to play videos slower
[23:41] <joeb3_> hatter, whenever your trying to locate something not in its cache.
[23:41] <misterecs> FREAKY_T --> I've tried to find Linux drivers, but the NIC is an "integrated 10/100" and since i'm using Linux, i'm having a hard time.
[23:41] <FilipeMB> truckin: it worked, tku
[23:42] <LjL> crdlb: so in other words i'm looking for something that sets some stuff in /var/pid or somesuch, and does it without me having to write it manually :)
[23:42] <orion1> joe3: do you know if i need to use the ubuntu-desktop verson to do the vncserver active desktop, or can i do that with the server edition?
[23:42] <joeb3_> hatter, the first time you browse to server1, it queries the wins server and puts that name in its cache.
[23:42] <Freaky_T> misterecs, what happens when you run that command ArthurArchnix said eariler?
[23:42] <joeb3_> orion1, you must have gnome installed for the desktop to appear
[23:43] <hatter> joeb3_, thx, thats my memory thought...
[23:43] <distatica> Hey folks, I just installed the latest version of ubuntu, and I'm trying to Update. It shows 88 updates, I click "Install Updates" and it asks me for a password, I don't enter one because I seem to recall that ubuntu doesn't use that, however it keeps checking updates and builds the list, but doesn't install. Any ideas why?
[23:43] <misterecs> FREAKY_T --> sorry, missed that post, but i found it . . . let me try & i'll paste the results online.
[23:43] <distatica> I'm a debian user usually, so I'm not sure about that.
[23:43] <orion1> joe3b: if i wanted to run a server but also have the option of doing the vncserver could i just install the ubuntu server editoin and then install gnome with a simple apt-get?
[23:44] <hatter> running vnc on this network is awful,  what diags can i do to see where the bottle neck is ?
[23:44] <martin__> hello my girls ¡¡¡¡¡¡
[23:44] <joeb3_> orion1, yes
[23:44] <CochiseIRL> distatica, root password is the password you set for the user you setup during the install]
[23:44] <martin__> i lovs
[23:44] <orion1> joeb3_: thanks for your help.
[23:44] <distatica> oh
[23:44] <distatica> heh
[23:44] <martin__> jaja.... ok.... i 'm argentineo
[23:44] <distatica> there we go, that looks like it's doing something...
[23:45] <distatica> indeed it is, thank you CoasterMaster
[23:45] <distatica> erm, CochiseIRL
[23:45] <CochiseIRL> distatica, np
[23:45] <LjL> distatica, CochiseIRL: well, that's not the "root password", as there is no real root password set... but the user that was set up during installation has sudo rights
[23:45] <knoppix>   /msg nickserv register knoppix 834600 knoppix6230@gmail.com
[23:45] <distatica> LjL: I understand what CochiseIRL meant, but thanks for clarifying.
[23:45] <LjL> knoppix: change that password, and also, the syntax is wrong, /msg nickserv help
[23:45] <martin__> blabla ...... i'm the most chearsy
[23:46] <knoppix> 10x
[23:46] <MartYanu3> how can I set manually a time on my box?
[23:46] <knoppix> but where do i type this
[23:46] <knoppix> sorry didnt use irc for long time
[23:46] <distatica> knoppix: in your IRC client, any window really
[23:47] <distatica> just make sure it starts with / and it will be interpreted as a command, by default, in most clients.
[23:47] <knoppix> in a channel or in a network window?
[23:47] <distatica> doesn't matter, so long as it's on the same network
[23:47] <misterecs> FREAKY_T // ARTHURARCHNIX --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45430/
[23:47] <distatica> ie, if you have multiple networks open at once, don't do it in a channel associated wtih another network.
[23:47] <goat|work> is there a way to force network manager to repopulate the wireless list?   it doesn't update auto update
[23:47] <RAVN_> how do i start compiz with the plugin snow
[23:48] <Salah> How do I assign a IP to a firewire device?
[23:48] <hatter> MartYanu3, you can do it in a command prompt,  sudo date -s 1130
[23:48] <RAVN_> how do i start compiz with the plugin snow
[23:48] <ArthurArchnix> misterecs: There you go. It's being detected. So why don't you describe what you're trying to do, how you're doing it, and any error messages (if any) that you get.
[23:48] <hatter> MartYanu3, then install ntpdate to keep your server machine with internet time servers , you will need port 123 udp open on your firewall
[23:49] <misterecs> ARTHURARCHNIX --> Okay, well that a long winded explanation . . . i'll post that and give you the link. Okay?
[23:49] <clever> hatter: you normaly dont need to open anything to use outgoing protocols(like ntp)
[23:50] <clever> hatter: most firewalls allow all outgoing
[23:50] <knoppix> ok got it 10x
[23:50] <meoblast001> omg
[23:50] <distatica> no problem, I hope you didn't use the password you just sent to the channel though?
[23:50] <meoblast001> sometimes closed source sux
[23:50] <VladimirBG> I have issue with video playback, it's blocky, and shows occasional tearing, help anyone?
[23:51] <meoblast001> i was just having a legal dispute over imageline rules
[23:51] <x_or> I upgraded to Gutsy and though I am not sure where, I now get an issue whenever I boot that it thinks it needs to do an fsck.  I've run fsck and it does not report any errors.  I think this is an issue with my fstab file, as it does not look like other fstabs I have on other machines.
[23:52] <unbeatabl> hi
[23:53] <Salah> any ideas..?
[23:53] <ArthurArchnix> misterecs: It should be possible to describe it here... and you'll have a better chance of others helping if they don't have to click a link to get to your problem. Try describing the problem in four sentences and then we can ask for more info if needed.
[23:54] <computer_newb> how do i fix my grub loader?
[23:54] <Ashfire908> can i tar a full copy of the files on a ubuntu system and then copy them (same permissions and everything) to another system and be able to boot?
[23:54] <misterecs> ArthurArchnix --> Okay, will do.

[23:54] <computer_newb> i can boot from usb key into my os on my pc, but cant boot regular boot with out usb key
[23:55] <computer_newb> !grub loader
[23:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about grub loader - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:55] <computer_newb> !grub
[23:55] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[23:55] <nickrud> Ashfire908: you'd also need to update grub and write the mbr
[23:55] <LjL> !fishing
[23:55] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids.

[23:57] <misterecs> ARTHURARCHNIX ==> Bought Dell Ubuntu, everything worked fine.  Slipped in the Ubuntu 7.04 Disk into the drive, reformatted & re-installed Ubuntu 7.04.  Unable to access the internet. "Network Connections" says I don't have a NIC installed, my only "Location" being an unconfigured "Modem Connection".  And it's not the BIOS, already been there.
[23:57] <distatica> knoppix: let everyone know what the mess is, maybe someone can help sort it out.
[23:57] <davubunt1> Can someone tell me the what the spanish channel is called
[23:57] <julio3patas> !clone
[23:57] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[23:57] <nickrud> Jamiesss: the default ones on sbackup, etc , home, usr/local, and var pretty much gets it all

[23:59] <ubotu> Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning
[23:59] <nickrud> Jamiesss: you'd get that back with a reinstall, that's kinda what sbackup assumes
