[00:07] <Pelo> Sonjaaa, look for speach recognition in synaptic
[00:07] <ompaul> Slazer, lp filename if you have a printer configured and if it is an ethernet printer then you need to do lp -P lp17 foo where lp17 is the cups name for the printer and foo is the file
[00:08] <Pelo> Slazer,  I think you need to setup lpr first to use your printer,
[00:08] <Pelo> Slazer, man lpr for mor info
[00:08]  * ompaul admits it is night time and goes away
[00:08]  * Pelo tucks ompaul in

[00:14] <thursday> GKsu is broken it seems... as I have concurrently deduced by friends help, but there are two instances of libgksu installed 1.2 and 2.0... is this supposed to be like this? I have Gutsy installed.
[00:14] <Centaur5> Doesn't Gutsy have included winmodem drivers?
[00:14] <thinh_> it is the current
[00:14] <slimjimflim> ddclient wouldn't hurt anything
[00:14] <kanuha> How would I open nautilus to a specific folder?
[00:14]  * Pelo is gonna hve to get himself one of them life things one of these days

[00:15] <Loaxes> Pelo: My Wifi. er, It's Timi :P Theres a little switch on the from of my laptop that turns the wifi on and off, I had it on off
[00:15] <Nirevus> Pelo, did that as well. The only answer there isn't exactly the same, and the solution is very vague
[00:15] <slimjimflim> i forget how to do it from a shell, but you can hit escape at boot time and edit it there
[00:15] <thinh_> i mean where is it located
[00:16] <Scunizi> I uncommented the "send core events" section in xorg to get Gimp to recognize an "extended input device" however after doing that my pads scroll wheel and buttons ceased to function.  Anyone have any answers?
[00:16] <emja> does anyone know of a FAQ/HOWTO for NIS & NFS?
[00:16] <slimjimflim> anybody where the grub configuration file is located?
[00:16] <Nirevus> Pelo, this is all google has on it, go down tot he last two posts: I have a problem with my webcam in aMSN.

[00:19] <sky`sunset> pelo     but it said destop effects could not be enabled
[00:19] <Timi> Linux88: Yeah, I hate myself, and I think you hate me too.

[00:20] <slimjimflim> confess, i don't think so
[00:20] <caustic> Got a huge problem.
[00:20] <Pelo> sky`sunset,  your video card might not be strong enough for it to work and so it is disabled
[00:20] <IdleOne> Confess: point to archives.xubuntu.com without a country code perhaps that is the issue
[00:20] <linux88> Timi ,lol
[00:20] <slimjimflim> caustic that sucks
[00:20] <Confess> Have you used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot ??

[00:21] <linux88> Timi so your wireless card isnt internal? or it is and the switch is on your laptop?
[00:21] <Confess> Yes I do. :P
[00:21] <Pelo> world_citizen,  go to the ubuntu website, the dl section, and select a country mirror , you 'll get a list of file, look for the dvd one

[00:22] <Timi> linux88: I gave up on it, decided to go back to windows. Wasn't getting any wifi there, so I checked the instruction manual, and there it was, plain as daylight.
[00:22] <slimjimflim> *model number
[00:22] <IdleOne> Confess: like I said i dont know about netinstalls perhaps someone else can help but if the archive is down then try using another archive. I have to get going. good luck

[00:22] <slimjimflim> thinh_ as long as it starts up, that's normal
[00:22] <Mocheeze> Hey all, I'm having a problem with Gutsy. It seems that tooltips are being displayed even when there is nothing to populate them. So I constantly have a little empty yellow box popping up whenever I leave my mouse in one place for more than a couple seconds. I tried looking for some tooltip options, but nothing seems to fix my problem.
[00:23] <joanki> it says that the video player is only available for firefox mac
[00:23] <joanki> what does that mean?
[00:23] <linux88> Timi haha well thats nice. I knew that chipset worked out of the box, i forgot to ask about the switch. So did you reinstall linux?
[00:23] <PMantis> sethk: Hey, I found that /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persis... has the rules for which cards get which name. Used to be in /etc/iftab
[00:23] <Timi> Linux88; question now, is there any way to play my music off an external hard drive? Because my music library is 85gigs and I have a 120 gig hard drive. It's a problem
[00:23] <Timi> linux88: yep, I sure did.
[00:23] <emja> does anyone know of a FAQ/HOWTO for NFS client on Ubuntu? I'm trying to connect to FC3 server but the mount fails during boot
[00:23] <thursday> One main thing it wants to uninstall is ubuntu-desktop, all my outside installed programs, like avant, automatix, istanbul, serpentine, python gnome extras, and some other unimportant things.
[00:23] <thursday> @pelo
[00:23] <thinh_> yeah just sometime it takes forever i kind of know what going on because of the mount check, but i recall that after awhile when it doesnt starts up
[00:23] <linux88> Timi is the external harddrive connected to your computer
[00:23] <Confess> Anyone mind lending me a hand one on one? lol
[00:24] <linux88> timi your laptop i mean?
[00:24] <Timi> linux88: yep
[00:24] <caustic> any suggestions?

[00:29] <Arinomi> RequinB4, this manager doesn't act like the pre-installed manager. I can't select wireless networks with it..
[00:30] <Pelo> thursday,  i have both as well and they work fine
[00:30] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Hey
[00:30] <professor_> hey all
[00:30] <Monkee_Of_Evil> does anyone have any in game screen shots of any Linux gaes they would mind sharing with the Houston Loco?
[00:31] <sasha__> duh me.... i was actually in a different box
[00:31] <sasha__> grrr
[00:31] <thursday> Hmm.
[00:31] <Pelo> later folks
[00:31] <Monkee_Of_Evil> *Linux Games
[00:31] <slimjimflim> caustic, have you googled     "   "SB450 HDA Audio" ubuntu  "
[00:32] <Monkee_Of_Evil> We have a list of about 20-25 games, but would rather use community contributed screen shots instead of ones from the vendor websites
[00:32] <caustic> slimjim yeah. i get forums.
[00:32] <Confess> anyone know where to find the netboot.tar.gz for Xubuntu?
[00:32] <Confess> Or the latest ubuntu?
[00:32] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Anyone?
[00:33] <slimjimflim> confess #xubuntu?
[00:33] <caustic> >.<;
[00:33] <Jack_Sparrow> I owe someone an apology.  I messed up when linking a file to help them with an ntfs drive. That was not the program I thought it was.
[00:33] <slimjimflim> hang on
[00:34] <n08l3J> hello everyone
[00:34] <Confess> Anyone know why the archive directory is missing a whole bunch of files
[00:34] <professor_> I was wondering I want to modify a game but where do I find the file to do so
[00:34] <n08l3J> anybody know what is the location of default gdm splash image
[00:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !source
[00:35] <ubotu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[00:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !splash
[00:35] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[00:36] <linux_> ...
[00:36] <professor_> how do you go into game files and edit them
[00:37] <n08l3J> anybody know what is the location of default gdm splash image
[00:37] <arang2> hi guys, anyone could point me to a good how-to, to install pulseaudio in gutsy?
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> professor_: you get the source code and edit it
[00:37] <Kibble_> what's the command to delete a folder even if it's not empty?
[00:37] <an0malist> I installed KDE on ubuntu with apt but it put a ton of apps in my gnome menus.. I want to just reverse what I did when I installed KDE... apt-get remove KDE just seems to remove "kde" but not the whole slew of things it installed.. how do I reverse what I did?
[00:37] <nana> is it possible without using screen to take a terminal running on ssh and move it to the local tty's?
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> n08l3J: See the link above
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> an0malist: kubuntu-desktop
[00:38] <professor_> Jack_Sparrow, How do I do that
[00:38] <n08l3J> i don't see anything, i got disconnected Jack_Sparrow
[00:38] <n08l3J> could you post it again ?
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !splash
[00:38] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[00:38] <caustic> Gahh, I'm -still- stuck.
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> professor_: do you know any programming?
[00:39] <Kibble_> what's the command to delete a folder even if it's not empty?
[00:39] <jonnyro> rmdir
[00:39] <jonnyro> rm -rf ./
[00:39] <an0malist> Jack_Sparrow: it says kubuntu-desktop is not installed :\
[00:39] <jonnyro> (beware the second one, as it does what you want, but if you mistype, bad)
[00:39] <professor_> python
[00:39] <Kibble_> isn't that recursive, jonnyro?
[00:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jonnyro: Who are you talking to
[00:39] <professor_> Jack_Sparrow, I am learning python
[00:40] <jonnyro> sorry, was directed at Kibble_
[00:40] <slimjimflim> caustic,  have you reinstalled the driver?
[00:40] <jonnyro> Kibble_, rm -rf ./ will recursively delete a folder, even if it's not empty
[00:40] <Confess> is there a way to make an OS install from the a computer instead of the internet>
[00:40] <slimjimflim> ...it looks like a pretty common issue
[00:40] <caustic> slimjim: I can't find it in the first place, I keep hittin forums.
[00:40] <Jack_Sparrow> professor_: start by reading the link on source...
[00:40] <Jack_Sparrow> !install
[00:40] <PanzerMKZ_> Confess: from the computer vs net?
[00:40] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[00:41]  * jonnyro is not looking forward to fixing my compiz issues
[00:41] <Kibble_> jonnyro: so a full command would be <sudo rm -rf ./ /opt/directory_name>?
[00:41] <jif> Confess: sure.  You mean like from a CD or DVD?
[00:41] <world_citizen> #kubutu
[00:41] <Confess> No
[00:41] <Confess> via netboot
[00:41] <jonnyro> Kibble_, in fact, yes
[00:41] <Confess> sry
[00:41] <PanzerMKZ_> bam looks like the bot got in front of everyone
[00:41] <jonnyro> Kibble_, that will completely delete the directory in question
[00:42] <Kibble_> jonnyro thank you
[00:42] <Jmax> hi, i'm missing /dev/dvdrw.  What should I do?
[00:42] <arang2> hi guys, anyone could point me to a good how-to, to install pulseaudio in gutsy?
[00:42] <professor_> Jack_Sparrow, Where do I find that, I am a noob
[00:42] <cellofellow> Jmax: never seen that before. /dev/dvd should be there though.
[00:42] <jonnyro> I should have never upgraded from feisty to gutsy, still having issues getting borders working with compiz effects turned on
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !source
[00:42] <ubotu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[00:42] <Jmax> it's not
[00:42] <jonnyro> I should just do a complete reinstall
[00:43] <cellofellow> Jmax: what about /dev/cdrom?
[00:43] <Jmax> nope
[00:43] <Jmax> no /dev/hd? either
[00:43] <Jack_Sparrow> professor_: Please direct further question to the #python room
[00:43] <Siph0n> hey, every time i open K3b it takes 3-5 minutes to load.... is this normal?
[00:43] <ilgbbb> i need help slowing fans down with pwmconfig
[00:43] <cellofellow> Jmax: /dev/sd* ?
[00:43] <sethk> jonnyro, never upgrade just because the upgrade is available
[00:43] <Jmax> nope
[00:43] <Jmax> nor /dev/sg* or /dev/scd*
[00:43] <caustic> ...?
[00:43] <Jmax> well, except for my hard drives
[00:43] <cellofellow> Jmax: is there ANYTHING in /dev?
[00:43] <Jmax> yes
[00:43] <Kibble_> jonnyro: it returned "rm: cannot remove directory `./': Invalid argument"
[00:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Siph0n: no, unless it is having a hard time identifying the drive
[00:44] <cellofellow> Jmax: do you know how your DVD drive is attached to your system?
[00:44] <Siph0n> Jack_Sparrow, ok, thanks! :)
[00:44] <jonnyro> Kibble_, what directory do you want to delete
[00:44] <ilgbbb> Found the following devices:
[00:44] <ilgbbb>    hwmon0/device is w83627ehf
[00:44] <ilgbbb>    hwmon1/device is coretemp
[00:44] <ilgbbb>    hwmon2/device is coretemp
[00:44] <ilgbbb> Found the following PWM controls:
[00:44] <ilgbbb>    hwmon0/device/pwm1
[00:44] <ilgbbb> hwmon0/device/pwm1_enable stuck to 1
[00:44] <ilgbbb> Failed to set pwmhwmon0/device/pwm1 to full speed
[00:44] <ilgbbb> Something's wrong, check your fans!
[00:44] <cellofellow> Mine, for example, is hdc, so IDE Master 2.
[00:44] <jonnyro> Kibble_, if i wanted to delete /opt/blah, i'd run "rm -rf /opt/blah"
[00:44] <Jmax> wodim: No such file or directory. | Cannot open SCSI driver!
[00:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: use gksudo nautilus     or better gksudo thunar
[00:44] <thursday> I didn't understand your  request Monkee_Of_Evil
[00:44] <Kibble_> aha ok.
[00:44] <jonnyro> Kibble_, so, actually, your suggestion above, which i said was okay, was in fact wrong
[00:44] <jonnyro> (sorry, distracted screwing around with compiz)
[00:44] <Kibble_> yes, i figured out that much already :)
[00:44] <Jmax> cellofellow: it *should* be, and was, in debian, /dev/hda
[00:44] <thinh> slim u there?
[00:44] <sux_daemon> somebody knows how to configure oidentd to use with x-chat?
[00:45] <Kibble_> jack - what're those?
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> file managers  gui
[00:45] <cellofellow> Jmax: which version of Debian?
[00:45] <Jmax> cellofellow: wodim: No such file or directory. | Cannot open SCSI driver!
[00:45] <Jmax> cellofellow: etch
[00:45] <ilgbbb> is there anyone who can use pwmconfig?
[00:45] <thinh> i get connection refuse now on my friends place
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: go to terminal    type gksudo nautilus
[00:45] <Jmax> cellofellow: there is /dev/sg0, sg1, sg2
[00:46] <cellofellow> Jmax: well, I think in Gutsy they made it so that hd is no longer, replaced with sd. I may be wrong, but I upgraded from Feisty so I still have sd.
[00:46] <Jmax> cellofellow: and my data /dev/sda sdb sdc
[00:46] <Jmax> hdd*
[00:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: it will let you do whatever you want, just be very sure of what you ask it to do.. then get out of it
[00:46] <Kibble_> i wrote  gksudo thunar and it didn't seem to do anything jack
[00:46] <thinh> do i have to open a port on my friends router to get the data to it?
[00:46] <Swian> just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 very nice
[00:46] <xav3s>  hi. I've just installed fglrx (using envy) and enabled the driver. But, when fglrxinfo, the output is mesa. I already rebooted the system. Any help?
[00:46] <cellofellow> Jmax: `mount` will show what is mounted where.
[00:46] <Jmax> cellofellow: right, i use lvm
[00:46] <sasha__> what is the sound config directive in ubuntu ?
[00:46] <Kibble_> how do I stop it jack?
[00:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: you would need to install thunar with synaptic or apt-get
[00:46] <cellofellow> Jmax: I haven't a clue how lvm works.
[00:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: close it
[00:47] <Jmax> cellofellow: lvm should not be related.
[00:47] <slimjimflim> caustic idk
[00:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: then close the terminal window when it returns to a prompt
[00:47] <cellofellow> likely
[00:47] <caustic> crap.
[00:47] <sasha__> alsaconfig cant be found
[00:47] <Jmax> maybe i'm missinga  module
[00:47] <cellofellow> Jmax: maybe you should point wodim at the actual lvm device file.
[00:47] <professor_> Jack_Sparrow, I dont have questions about python, I have questions about where to find the file to edit on my computer for the game
[00:47] <Kibble_> jack - no idea what that did, but thanks
[00:48] <Kibble_> thanks jonny - it worked
[00:48] <professor_> Jack_Sparrow, I dont have questions about python, I have questions about where to find the file to edit on my computer for the game
[00:48] <Jmax> cellofellow: my optical drive doesn't use lvm
[00:48] <Jack_Sparrow> professor_: and once again.. the link I provided shows you how to get the source code for any program you want to edit.
[00:48] <Kibble_> (read in a man that rm -rf can erase entire chunks of your hd
[00:48] <Jack_Sparrow> professor_: When you install a program you do NOT automatically download the source code
[00:49] <thinh> what better to use ddclient or router ddns?
[00:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: that is why I was directing you away from that option
[00:49] <todkon> Does anyone know of a good run prompt program? something with like a history + tab completion?
[00:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: You type that wrong and lose everything
[00:50] <todkon> I tried using the xfrun, its alright, it has history, but no tab completion
[00:50] <thinh> slim can u try to connect again on my ip should still be in your email
[00:50] <todkon> something gtk but like the Enlightenment Run Prompt :)
[00:50] <Kibble_> hmmm, i would think there was a safer option, no?
[00:50] <thinh> i get connection refuse when i am at a friends place
[00:50] <todkon> maybe a little more minimal though
[00:50] <caustic> can anyone help me?
[00:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: command line is very powerful.. but unforgiving
[00:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: Use a gui file manager with gksudo
[00:51] <Kibble_> yes, thanks for telling me i could do that ;)
[00:51] <caustic> anyone? o.o;
[00:51] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[00:52] <allenc> I am trying to use samba to connect with windows box, when I type smb in term I get command not found.
[00:52] <thursday> ... still no solution besides uninstalling 20 programs...
[00:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: Please use with caution..
[00:52] <Confess> can ANYONE lend me a hand installing ubuntu from a windows computer via netboot?
[00:52] <caustic> My sound refuses to work, and I have a SB 450 audio
[00:53] <caustic> I was told I need the drivers, but I can't fuind them.
[00:53] <Jack_Sparrow> thursday: If you are trying to uninstall one piece of a meta package, I think there is a way.. I just dont remember it
[00:54] <ArthurArchnix> I've installed Gutsy a few times, but this time when I log in I get bugged for the loginkeyring, in order to open up my wireless automatically. I've never set it, and don't know what it is. What's the solution?
[00:54] <spasticteapot> Has anyone here had any luck with Qtella?
[00:54] <Kibble_> hey jack join me a minute in #kibble?
[00:54] <spasticteapot> I get this funny error message : ../include/GWebCacheManager.h:5:19: error: qlist.h: No such file or directory
[00:54] <thursday> Well no... I am trying to fix my menu options.
[00:54] <Jack_Sparrow> ok
[00:55] <thursday> Gksu or something sim is the culprit
[00:55] <caustic> ...?
[00:55] <Guiri> Hi everyone! If I install a minimal WM like fluxbox on my server can I still adjust power management? I was told Gnome's power settings are best for this.. I'm a bit confused.
[00:56] <Timi> Can anyone tell me how to mount an external drive?
[00:56] <spasticteapot> thursday: For me?
[00:56] <spasticteapot> guiri: Most of the power management things can be done from the command line, if not all.
[00:57] <thursday> No... me... my problem is gksu.
[00:57] <simplechat> hey, if my system freezes with an odd cursor (hand and pointer), which can move, but the keyboard (and mouse buttons) don't respond
[00:57] <Guiri> spasticteapot, can you point me to the correct wiki? I'm fine reading up on this but I'm new to Ubuntu.
[00:57] <AirBender> Timi, first of all you must check the device name /dev/xxx
[00:57] <simplechat> is there any way to fix it without restarting or controll alt backspacing? (which doesn't work with firefox)
[00:57] <caustic> ?
[00:57] <somerville32> So, how does one get sound with flash in firefox? :P
[00:57] <spasticteapot> I know how to adjust power stuff from the CLI mostly because I've had so much trouble with XFCE (admittedly, an earlier version.)
[00:59] <Jack_Sparrow> somerville32: How did you install flash
[00:59] <somerville32> Jack_Sparrow, The normal way.
[00:59] <Jack_Sparrow> somerville32: Cute..  could you be more specific as to which repo
[01:00] <sasha__> how do i play sound from command line ?
[01:00] <somerville32> Jack_Sparrow, Isn't it in the Ubuntu repo?
[01:00] <peacepipejv> help with wine. i uninstalled a program I had runnign under wine, reinstalled it, now it wont run. It just sits in the taskbar.
[01:02] <Timi> Airbender: THanks
[01:04] <AirBender> Timi: have you done it?
[01:04] <Timi> Nope, I haven't the faintest what you were talking about, but I figure that I'll work it out in time :P
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry, had to get the door.
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash
[01:05] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[01:05] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow,  what ? no script ?
[01:05] <Timi> Is there a replacement kind of thing for launchy?
[01:05] <Timi> that isn't katapult?
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> is how most people install it.  But the ones that install it in a different way are the ones that usually have problems
[01:06] <Pelo> Timi, launchy ?
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> HI Pele
[01:06] <caustic> Gah, still nothing...
[01:06]  * Pelo 's is not a soccer god 
[01:06] <meoblast001> hello
[01:06] <linxeh> anyone here got a OLPC ?
[01:06] <AirBender> Timi: get it out, and in again, and then type dmesg in a terminal. Then you will see some information regarding your disk, I hope...
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Ok, I am officially exhausted.. goodnight all
[01:06] <Timi> Pelo, you make a keystroke, say ctrl+space, it brings up a box that allows you to type in the name of the application you want, and presto
[01:06] <Timi> okay, will try airbender
[01:07] <meoblast001> when i try to enable desktop effects i get "Desktop effects could not be enabled." how do i fix this?
[01:07] <Pelo> linxeh, most ppl here aren't impoverished third world elementary school children
[01:07] <spasticteapot> So...has anyone here used Qtella?
[01:07] <allenc> Pelo: I installed Samba (I think) but smb does nothing.
[01:07] <Pelo> Timi,  alt+f2
[01:07] <caustic> any ideas...? No sound when i recently upgraded, I have a SB 450 audio card.
[01:07] <Pelo> allenc,  sudo smb ?
[01:07] <Timi> Pelo, thanks
[01:07] <Pelo> allenc,  I'm not too familiar with samba I think smb is the command line but might be samba
[01:07] <Timi> Airbender, theres lots of info there.
[01:08] <allenc> pelo: neither works.
[01:08] <Pelo> !samba
[01:08] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[01:08] <AirBender> Timi, yes indeed but at the end should be info about a recent connected hdd
[01:08] <ma2> i would like to know, what would happen if i force install command ?
[01:08] <ConstyXIV> wifi routers usually act as a halfway decent (for home use) firewall as well, right?
[01:08] <caustic> ...?
[01:08] <Pelo> allenc,  read up a few lines that was for you
[01:09] <allenc> pelo: that you aren't familiar?
[01:09] <Timi> 1600BEVExternal?
[01:09] <allenc> Is anyone here familiar with samba or another way to map windows directories?
[01:09] <Pelo> ConstyXIV,  depends on how you configure it , but firewall aren't needed in linux like they are in windows
[01:09] <Pelo> !samba > allenc check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[01:10] <ConstyXIV> Pelo: mixed network here
[01:10] <Timi> Airbender: 1600BEVExternal?
[01:10] <Pogonip_> How can I see what processes are running.
[01:10] <AirBender> Timi: may be, actually I haven't experience with external hdd, but may be it could be good idea to type: lsusb and identify your HDD, then, depending on the device number you can try mouting it as /dev/usbX
[01:11] <Guiri> Is there a (relatively) easy way to wipe all of Gnome/default programs to give me a headless server?
[01:11] <Pelo> ConstyXIV, I'm not an expert but most routers have safety / security settnigs , check for nat , firewall,  portforwarding and the likes,  there are also encryption options for wifi and ways of blocking other comps from connecting if they don't have a preassigned static ip
[01:11] <dta948_2> Pog command line.. ps aux
[01:11] <Timi> kay
[01:11] <Timi> whats the mount command?
[01:11] <caustic> my sound won't work on my recent update, and I have a SB 450 audio card, suggestions?

[01:13] <caustic> can anyone help me...?

[01:18] <thursday> I don't want to partition it.

[01:22] <Pelo> Bugson,  it was just a suggestion I notice that when I plugged one usb flsh drive next to another one, the first one would disconnect I assumes this was aproblem with theway my mobo handled things and that it might cause issues on other comps
[01:22] <Pelo> Bugson,  but you might try looking in the forum for ppl with the same problem and how they solved it
[01:23] <Bugson> There's a lot of the same issue but not on 7.10
[01:23] <Bugson> and there, are no asnwers :/
[01:23] <Pelo> Bugson,  solutions would still apply

[01:29] <Alyxander> dragging the icon .tar.gz into the theme manager it xubuntu pelo
[01:29] <Pelo> ADemiG0D, just boot from your cd rom
[01:29] <robdig> ADemiG0D: you need to go into your BIOS menu and set it to boot off of CD. usually while BIOS info is up it is F12 or ESC or F8 depending on the bios...usually says on the screen
[01:29] <Guiri> It may be a repo problem
[01:29] <ADemiG0D> thanks again Pelo and Robdig
[01:30] <Pelo> Alyxander, unpack the tar.gz once sometimes they get repacked to add instructions
[01:30] <Cooner750> i hope it does
[01:30] <Cooner750> Steam seems to be working well
[01:30] <Cooner750> Except instant messaging with friends

[01:30] <Pelo> Cooner750,  what issue are you having with it ? short version
[01:30] <tafsen> Are there themes, not just for metacity, but for the whole package? (the windows, panels, everything) ?
[01:30] <Timi> I have a question
[01:30] <Timi> if I save something to the desktop
[01:30] <Timi> and reboot
[01:30] <Timi> does it magically disappear?

[01:31] <inversekinetix> !enter |Timi
[01:31] <ubotu> Timi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:31] <Alyxander> pelo after unpacking still no
[01:31] <Pelo> !enter | Timi
[01:31] <Creationist> Guiri: If you've tried searching the repositories with Synaptic and didn't fine it, then it must not be there :)
[01:31] <robdig> Timi: shouldn't disappear
[01:31] <Creationist> Guiri: You can still install it manually, though.
[01:31] <Pelo> Alyxander, in the theme managerdo you have an install button ?
[01:31] <Timi> Right, right, sorry. and okay.
[01:31] <inversekinetix> Pelo, do you know a lot about linux?
[01:31] <Alyxander> nope xfce
[01:31] <Pelo> inversekinetix, not realy, I use windows vista
[01:32] <inversekinetix> Pelo, lol, ok thanks
[01:32] <Creationist> Timi: To answer your question, no, it shouldn't.
[01:32] <RequinB4> Pelo: xD
[01:32] <Pelo> Alyxander, try asking in #xubuntu
[01:32] <Creationist> Timi: Unless you're using the Live CD :)
[01:32] <Alucard85> Hey, I was looking for some help with installing Ubuntu 6.06 on a HP dv9000 and it won't install right
[01:32] <Timi> I'm not using the live CD
[01:32] <Cooner750> Anyone?
[01:32] <Creationist> Alucard85: Can you elaborate?
[01:32] <inversekinetix> Can anyone recommend me a good linux starter book?
[01:32] <Pelo> inversekinetix,  I'm your basic home user with a nack for problem solving , what is your issue ?
[01:32] <Timi> Question: Is there a recycling bin?
[01:32] <RequinB4> There is a trash can
[01:32] <Creationist> Cooner750: Most windows fonts should work, but I could be wrong.  It won't hurt to try it :)
[01:32] <Pelo> inversekinetix, http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/distrib/ubuntu/unleashed/ http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84 http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[01:32] <inversekinetix> Pelo, me too, just looking for a good book to get better acquainted
[01:33] <robdig> Timi: yup, lower right corner
[01:33] <Pelo> inversekinetix,  I just gave you a few pretty descent links
[01:33] <Alucard85> I'm getting stuck on the live CD. I ran it twice and when it got to the "enterprise volume management systems" the first time it just froze up and the CD stopped. The Second time it stopped at configuring network interfaces
[01:33] <Timi> Thanks, saved my ass there.
[01:33] <inversekinetix> Pelo thanks, adding them now,  I just want a book to take around wit me too
[01:33] <Creationist> Alucard85: How much RAM does the PC have?
[01:33] <Alucard85> 2 gigs
[01:33] <Creationist> Alucard85: Ah, so it's a newer system?
[01:34] <Cooner750> What's the command I run to refresh the font cache?
[01:34] <wastrel> that's a lot of ram
[01:34] <Alucard85> Yeah, a HP dv9000\
[01:34] <Alucard85> it's one of their newer laptops
[01:34] <Creationist> Alucard85: I apologize, I don't know system model numbers :)
[01:34] <AirBender> when using dual Displays with VideoCards, is there a way to adjust each display view to compensate the separation of the screens due to the Edges thickness ??
[01:34] <Pelo> inversekinetix, there is probably a linux for dummies out there somewhere
[01:34] <Alucard85> it's cool, I only know it cause it's right infront of me
[01:34] <leslian> Has anyone had any luck in getting wireless to work in gutsy?
[01:35] <Creationist> Alucard85: May I ask why you're going with 6.06 instead of 7.10?
[01:35] <Pelo> !wifi | leslian
[01:35] <ubotu> leslian: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:35] <inversekinetix> Pelo.  i live in japan, have to buy everything off the innernets, i hate not being able to look before I buy
[01:35] <Pelo> leslian,  and most ppl have it working
[01:35] <leslian> Hey, thanks. :)
[01:35] <Poul|Raider> So anyone good at svn that could guide me with a few command lines. if i want to submit a folder to svn.lol/branches/raider what would i do then?
[01:35] <Alucard85> Because there is a sticky on the forums that the HP dv9000 does not like Gusty
[01:35] <Alucard85> they recommend that you do not use gusty on Hp 6000 and 9000 series laptops
[01:36] <Creationist> Alucard85: Ah, then I'd stay away from it.  But the problem with brand new systems is that the older versions of Ubuntu may not include device support for them yet.  You could try Edgy or Feisty too.
[01:36] <inversekinetix> would it be possible to installed printer drivers to a WINE installation and print from there?
[01:36] <Alucard85> Well, it wont even finish booting from the CD at all
[01:36] <Pelo> inversekinetix, possibly you'd have to ask the #winehq ppl
[01:36] <dZen|n|> Hello I have installed emerald and I have downloaded some themes how can I use the theme now ?
[01:37] <tafsen> Pelo: Are there full themes at gnome-look.org? I can only find for metacity
[01:37] <inversekinetix> Pelo, Im afraid of winehq, theyre not so friendly
[01:37] <Alucard85> and it's not consistant when it's stops
[01:37] <leslian> Not really, because from most versions of wine, you'd have to create the document in wine as well.
[01:37] <Pelo> inversekinetix,  they are not htat bad
[01:37] <ephemient> dZen|n|: emerald-theme-manager
[01:37] <allenc> what is a fstab file?
[01:37] <Pelo> tafsen, gtk2
[01:37] <Creationist> Alucard85: Right, then it's most likely an unsupported piece of hardware.
[01:37] <dZen|n|> ephemient: yeah and, when I oik the theme what should I do then ?
[01:37] <tafsen> Pelo: Thanks
[01:37] <Pelo> allenc, fstab is the file that automounts your drives at startup
[01:37] <Alyxander> where is ~/.icons/?
[01:38] <AirBender> allenc is a file where you define automatic mounting of devices in your system
[01:38] <Alucard85> So, anyone have a Linux distro that may support whatever it's that is not being supported?
[01:38] <leslian> I'm not sure, but if you type ls -a, that will bring up all your "hidden" files
[01:38] <Creationist> Alucard85: If you can't even get to the desktop, then I'd definitely recommend trying a slightly newer version.   Or you could run the disc check to make sure you have a good burn of Dapper.
[01:38] <Pelo> Alyxander, in it is a hidden folder in /home/username    crtl+h to see hidden folders
[01:38] <Alyxander> ty
[01:38] <allenc> pelo: ok, it says to edit it and put a line in but I don't see it exists...
[01:38] <Pelo> inversekinetix, please accept the files I am sending you
[01:38] <lencho> alguien habla español???
[01:38] <ephemient> dZen|n|: I don't understand what you said.  "oik"?
[01:38] <Creationist> Alucard85: With the newest hardware, device support falls on the linux kernel (which ALL distros use)
[01:38] <inversekinetix> what are the pelo?
[01:39] <Alucard85> The disc check passed and we
[01:39] <Alyxander> pelo im looking there but dont see it
[01:39] <Alucard85> - and we
[01:39] <Pelo> allenc, in the terminal type gksu gedit /etc/fstab

[01:39] <lencho> gracias:D
[01:39] <Pelo> inversekinetix, how about now ?
[01:39] <leslian> Do you mean programs and things, Alucard?

[01:40] <Cooner750> Wine runs at native speed, correct?
[01:40] <Cooner750> "Wine Is Not An Emulator" ?
[01:40] <leslian> Well, Ubuntu is great, but so is Fedora core.
[01:40] <Pelo> inversekinetix,  are you a registered user on this network ?
[01:40] <Cooner750> I used to have Fedora on here
[01:40] <leslian> I've also tried Mandriva, and I liked it, too.
[01:40] <poeloq> what is the fastest way to check if i have 3d support enabled and working?
[01:40] <MasterShrek> slackware ftw!
[01:40] <Creationist> Cooner750: Wine runs at native Linux speed, yes.  The programs running THROUGH Wine do not quite run at native Windows speed ;)
[01:41] <Alucard85> Well, I'll try Fedora then. Does fedora use KDE or GNOME?
[01:41] <ephemient> dZen|n|: if the theme was imported correctly, it will show up in the themes list.  selecting a theme from the themes list should change the active theme
[01:41] <Creationist> poeloq: Type this in the terminal:  glxinfo | grep direct
[01:41] <MasterShrek> gnome by default
[01:41] <rbil> poelog: you could also open a terminal and run glxgears
[01:41] <leslian> Honestly, I don't remember the default- you can use either.
[01:41] <Cooner750> Steam seems to be doing pretty good
[01:41] <baphs> good ppl I have the wierdest problem with rtl8139 anyone can help?

[01:41] <leslian> It may even come with both and you can choose.
[01:41] <inversekinetix> Pelo, xchat stops responding when the file transfer dialog opens
[01:41] <Cooner750> so it dosen't have to download it
[01:41] <emja> can anyone explain the difference between the rc#.d and rcS.d directories? if I have identical symlinks in each directory could that explain my problems with NFS starting correctly on bootup?
[01:41] <dZen|n|> I am using compiz
[01:41] <Creationist> poeloq: Or what rbil said ;)
[01:41] <poeloq> Creationist: it says direct rendering: yes

[01:42] <emja> Pelo: yes, but rc2 vs rcS?
[01:42] <dZen|n|> ephemient: I have restarted gdm
[01:42] <Pelo> inversekinetix, set another dl folder , like your desktop maybe
[01:43] <Creationist> poeloq: Go to System->Preferences->Appearance... "Effects" tab.
[01:43] <dZen|n|> ephemient: I did that in alt - f2
[01:43] <Pelo> emja,  rc2 gets loaded before rc5

[01:43] <inversekinetix> Pelo the transfer wont start
[01:44] <Creationist> wastrel: I use Gmail
[01:44] <Pelo> inversekinetix, sent, if that doesn't work , try setting for manual accept , might solve the problem if you hve to say yes
[01:44] <Pelo> inversekinetix, change the way you accept and tell me when you are done
[01:44] <Cooner750> Anyone here able to play any games via Steam?
[01:44] <Cooner750> in Wine
[01:44] <Creationist> Cooner750: In Windows ;)
[01:44] <ephemient> emja: /etc/rcS.d/README tells you what that directory is for
[01:44] <poeloq> Creationist: it said something about composite  not working
[01:44] <Creationist> Cooner750: The ONLY reason I keep window is gaming and video editing.

[01:45] <Creationist> Cooner750: Same here.  But I've tried running games with Wine and they either look terrible and play very slowly, or they don't run at all.
[01:45] <ephemient> dZen|n|: hmm, so emerald is running
[01:45] <inversekinetix> Pelo whats your connection?
[01:45] <RequinB4> Actually wine is fine with games if the games are fairly old
[01:46] <dZen|n|> ephemient: yeah
[01:46] <Creationist> RequinB4: Right.... circa 1990's ;)
[01:46] <Pelo> inversekinetix, 4mb/800kb
[01:46] <Cooner750> The only game I have ever got to run in Wine is GTA: SA
[01:46] <r00tintheb0x> RequinB4 Wine can play new games too... with some work.
[01:46] <RequinB4> creationist - don't dis my game shelf
[01:46] <r00tintheb0x> brb
[01:46] <dZen|n|> should I restart system ?
[01:46] <baphs> Anyone some help? ubuntu 7.10, net working but tcp sessions die unexpectdly -> no possilbe to browse or actually do anything except for ping...
[01:46] <Cooner750> And it worked except for some textures were severely screwed
[01:46] <inversekinetix> Pelo, lol the window was hiding some of the dialog, i thought you were uploading at 2.6MB/s
[01:46] <macksting> ...Okay. So I'm new to all this. How long is the FAQ?
[01:46] <Creationist> RequinB4: Not dissing it... just saying it totally differs from mine.  Besides, almost all Linux games appear to be from that era too
[01:46] <Cooner750> I'd like a connection with an upload speed of 2.6Mb/s :P
[01:47] <Cooner750> MB*
[01:47] <wastrel> there's a faq?
[01:47] <Pelo> inversekinetix, I can't afford that on a janitor's salary
[01:47] <RequinB4> what i've found is that newer games will work very well until you hit one previously unkown part of a game that requires windoze and it crashes
[01:47] <ephemient> dZen|n|: I don't know what the issue is, then
[01:47] <inversekinetix> luckily bandwidth is next to free here.  its actually only $10 a month more to get fibre than it is dialup
[01:48] <Creationist> inversekinetix: Wow... where?  I may need to relocate.
[01:48] <emja> ephemient: thx. deleting the symlinks from rcS.d seems to have fixed the problem
[01:48] <inversekinetix> Pelo, np, Im grateful for any help
[01:48] <inversekinetix> Creationist: japan
[01:48] <Creationist> inversekinetix: Okay, nevermind ;)

[01:49] <inversekinetix> this is actually the first to send something via irc
[01:49] <macksting> Wastrel: According to the topic, yes. I like the idea of getting to know Linux, but the topic might be scaring me off a touch.
[01:49] <baphs> does anyone here actually know anything except for directing ppl to manuals and helping on startup scripts? this supposed to be some support channel no?
[01:50] <Jessid> Hello. How can I make a usb mouse work in ubuntu 7.10? It used to work in ubuntu 7.06...
[01:50] <Dr_willis> baphs,  its amazing what we know.. when someone asks a decent question
[01:50] <Pelo> inversekinetix, well you are not getting pretty much as good as I can send,  ~80kB/s
[01:50] <wastrel> macksting: i never read the topic :]  jump on in with your question if you've got one.
[01:50] <Creationist> baphs: Yes, it is.  But many times you can learn a lot more a lot quicker by reading a manual.
[01:50] <inversekinetix> Pelo, i dont know what youre talking about (8(|)
[01:50] <Burlynn> baphs, yes, thats completely run by volunteers ..
[01:50] <ephemient> baphs: most people are not experts on everything either
[01:50] <RequinB4> baphs - everyone on here is a volunteer and the experts aren't on 24/7 ;)
[01:51] <Cooner750> Heh
[01:51] <Creationist> ephemient: Huh?  You don't know everything about everything dealing with Linux and all it's intricate working parts?
[01:51] <Cooner750> HL2 works
[01:51] <Creationist> ephemient: WHat good are you? ;)
[01:51] <rbil> baphs: what are u seeking?
[01:51] <ephemient> Creationist: I'm usually pretty good at lurking.  shall I go back?  :D
[01:52] <Creationist> ephemient: Nah, lurking is my domain and I prefer to remain a loner.
[01:52] <Burlynn> hide in the corner!
[01:52] <allenc> pelo: it says that this line in fstab is bad...  //HAL-9000/Server C  /media/cristc  smbfs  credentials=~/.smbcredentials,dmask=777,fmask=777  0  0
[01:52] <baphs> obviously and burlynn..obviously :) now does any of you good volunteering souls know why would clean 7.10 buntu let me establish tcp sessions but kill them randomaly?
[01:52] <Dr_willis> allenc,  ive seen issues in the past with spaces in share/machine names.
[01:53] <rbil> baphs: going thru a router?
[01:53] <baphs> im on rtl8139, no fw or any filtering is on, it connects thru eci router
[01:53] <Pelo> allenc, I realy don'T know enough about samba , Dr_willis seems to knwo more , there is also a #samba chanel
[01:53] <macksting> I'm trying to get Rhythmbox to understand mp3s. Apparently there's a codec or something (I'm talking from my behind here) that's used by Rhythmbox, and a different one used by Aleph One.
[01:53] <baphs> ive trying resetting the mtu or lowering the net to 10base ...no use.
[01:53] <Dr_willis> All i know about samba - i learned by reading the 'using samba' book  - WHICH is in the 'samba-doc' package. :P
[01:54] <baphs> same laptop works with all other os/prev buntu versions
[01:54] <Burlynn> macksting, got all the gstreamer codecs installed?
[01:54] <marcel> what is a root directory?
[01:54] <macksting> I'm more interested in having mp3 capability in a music player than in a Marathon game; as long as the latter has sound, I'm fine.
[01:54] <Cooner750> my server keeps blocking Valve's servers
[01:54] <Odd-rationale> macksting: did you try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras?

[01:55] <RequinB4> ubuntu is swahili
[01:55] <poeloq> when trying to turn effects on, I get ""The composite extension is not available"" what does that mean?!?!
[01:55] <macksting> When I tried to follow the instructions for gstreamer, it kept making assumptions about my knowledge and what files I possess. I ended up with about a dozen tabs open trying to string together something sensible. Failed.
[01:56] <Dr_willis> poeloq,  means you dont have your videocard/drivers set up properly
[01:56] <thursday> This issue is pretty comp it seems.
[01:56] <macksting> I believe that was on the above-mentioned restricted formats page.
[01:56] <ephemient> macksting: the RestrictedFormats page does offer a solution that does not involve the command-line
[01:56] <macksting> Throw on top of this the fact that the sudo apt-get command failed, and I'm understandably at a loss.
[01:56] <macksting> Ah.I'm curious, though. Why wouldn't the terminal attempt work?
[01:57] <poeloq> Dr_willis: do u know what i need to do?
[01:57] <Cooner750> hmm
[01:57] <Cooner750> Steam.exe became a Zombie
[01:57] <ephemient> macksting: either you mistyped something, or you didn't enable universe and multiverse repositories first
[01:57] <macksting> ...how do I do that?
[01:57] <Dr_willis> poeloq,  be sure you have the proper 3d video card drivers for your card installed for a start.
[01:57] <Odd-rationale> macksting: try typing "sudo apt-get update" first
[01:57] <ephemient> macksting: System > Administration > Software Sources
[01:57] <Dr_willis> !nvidia | poeloq
[01:58] <ephemient> macksting: it should do the equivalent of "apt-get update" automatically, I believe
[01:58] <ubotu> poeloq: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:58] <RequinB4> wow lag Dr_willis
[01:58] <poeloq> Dr_willis: the ones from restricted drivers are not enough?
[01:59] <Dr_willis> poeloq,  i have no idea what you have done, and what card, or other things.. I normally use the 'restricted-manager' tool to install the video card drivers. ATI cards need extta work to get  compiz going i recall. I dont use ATI.
[01:59] <macksting> Ephemient: I follow so far, sorta. I tried that update thing a moment ago and after a lot of little 0 50 100%'s, it complained that I need to run sudo apt-get update...
[01:59] <|trex|> I'm trying to install Ubuntu Gutsy on an inspiron 1100 but gdm simply won't load from the live CD.  It complains about some low graphics resolution business.
[01:59] <macksting> As of now, I have Software Sources open.
[02:00] <macksting> Wait, no %s on that one.
[02:00] <macksting> What is this mess...?
[02:00] <ephemient> macksting: you need "restricted" checked; "universe" and "multiverse" are optional
[02:01] <peacepipejv> help with wine. i uninstalled a program I had running under wine, reinstalled it, now it wont run. It just sits in the taskbar.
[02:01] <ephemient> macksting: it does give descritive names, does it not?
[02:01] <macksting> It's all checked except source code, which has a -.
[02:01] <allenc> pelo: there are a ton of names in the samba channel but no one has typed anything... is there a time of day it is active?
[02:01] <ephemient> macksting: okay, that's fine, you can hit "close"
[02:01] <macksting> Sadly, it was like that when I opened it.
[02:01] <Odd-rationale> |trex|: did you try booting in safe graphics mode?
[02:01] <macksting> So no quick fix there.
[02:01] <ephemient> macksting: now go through Applications > Add/Remove Applications
[02:01] <Klanticus> how do I update a kernel module?
[02:02] <RequinB4> allenc - if people are idling might as well just leave a msg on
[02:02] <macksting> Say, would you like a sample of the mess it gave me after I tried to do that apt-get update, but before complaining that I needed to do an apt-get update?
[02:02] <ephemient> macksting: select "Show: All available applications" and type "restricted" into the search box
[02:02] <Pelo> allenc, you'll have to find outon your own I'm affraid, i don't go there much
[02:02] <macksting> Okay, *that* I shoulda noticed!
[02:02] <allenc> pelo: ok thanks
[02:02] <macksting> Danke.
[02:03] <allenc> RequinB4: How do I leave a message?
[02:03] <inversekinetix> can anyone understanding why resizing a MAME window would cause ubuntu to become totally unresponsive?
[02:03] <macksting> Wow... I can't help, Inverse, but that sounds really frustrating.
[02:03] <RequinB4> allenc - well, what has worked for me was to type into the input box and then press enter
[02:03] <NSM> Anybody familiar with editing  /etc/sysctl.conf and the files in /proc/sys/net?  I think this is where I have my problem.
[02:03] <macksting> Hey, Eph. I found it. Apply?
[02:03] <RequinB4> but depending on your IRC client it could be a button that says send :D
[02:04] <RequinB4> anyone idling will see your message when they come back to the comp

[02:04] <peacepipejv> help with wine. i uninstalled a program I had running under wine, reinstalled it, now it wont run. It just sits in the taskbar.
[02:05] <macksting> So far so good. Still strange it didn't work with the terminal. I'm more comfortable learning command line.

[02:06] <macksting> Curious. Any idea why the help page didn't have the "install" bit?
[02:06] <tim-laptop> Im having problems with my Atheros Wi-Fi Driver. Can someone help me fix it?
[02:06] <wastrel> man pages are good for reference but not generally for tutorial purposes
[02:06] <ephemient> macksting: I'm not sure.  I thought it used to be in there, but my memory might be faulty
[02:06] <RequinB4> allenc - yeah forgive th sarcm
[02:06] <KI4IKL|Laptop> For some reason, my Power Manager isn't working properly on my laptop. It isn't showing the batter bar when it is unplugged, is there a sensor driver or something I need to install.
[02:06] <RequinB4> sarcasm
[02:06] <macksting> Well, if it was supposed to say "install," and I copied it verbatim, that might be my problem!
[02:07] <ephemient> NSM: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt documents those sysctl tunables (but Ubuntu doesn't install linux-sources by default)
[02:07] <ephemient> NSM: you should be able to find them online though
[02:07] <tim-laptop> Can someone help me fix my Atheros Wi-Fi?
[02:07] <NSM> ephemient: thanks.
[02:08] <ephemient> macksting: System Sources edited your /etc/apt/sources.list (and ran apt-get update after); Add/Remove ran "apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[02:08] <macksting> So I should ignore its complaints?

[02:11] <macksting> Now for a more fascinating question. Anybody here know much about Aleph One? Apparently it needs to be compiled or something.
[02:11] <Dr_willis> tim-laptop,  totally depends on the specific wireless card in the laptop. sadly.
[02:11] <wastrel> what's aleph one?
[02:11] <tim-laptop> It is Atheros I think.

[02:13] <macksting> The third Marathon game (the 1993 Mac game in question) was called Marathon Infinity; infinity being Aleph Null, any sequel would have to deal with Aleph numbers such as Aleph One, etc.

[02:13] <macksting> Oh. You weren't really asking, were you.
[02:13] <JT-04> When I boot my laptop up I get a pop up about how my clock is wrong.  But when I click adjust time it tells me I don't have the permissions to do that and locks up till I restart x.  Is there a way for me to fix this?
[02:13] <punsad> tim-laptop: yeah... doesn't look like the module is installed
[02:13] <toresn_> i have a problem fetching mail... can i ask here?
[02:13] <macksting> Anyway, darn, no shortcut to understanding. In that case, I'll just ask. Apparently I need a compiler. What can you tell me about Ubuntu and compilers?
[02:13] <macksting> Oh wait. Sorry, I should search the FAQ, shouldn't I.
[02:13] <punsad> toresn_: is it pop mail?

[02:17] <macksting> Oooh. Thanks, Eph.
[02:17] <tim-laptop> No.
[02:17] <ephemient> macksting: that's odd, usually ext2/3 reserves 1% of the disk for root-use only, so that unprivledged users can't completely fill the disk
[02:17] <tim-laptop> Only a LAN Cable.
[02:17] <Optimus55> i'm looking for a good dock to replace AWN that can go on the right side of the screen, any suggestions?
[02:17] <ephemient> macksting: I wonder if we turned that off?  or maybe it was a process running as root that filled up the disk.

[02:19] <n08l3J> having that loading glass thing kept moving, but i can't click on any of the button except the close
[02:19] <tim-laptop> Well, I cannot connect to the internet using wireless. It works fine on Vista.
[02:19] <wastrel> the admin account is what lets you run sudo :]  non admin can't do that even

[02:19] <macksting> That makes a certain sense.
[02:19] <punsad> tim-laptop: can you answer Ryan_was_here's question?
[02:20] <n08l3J> ephemient: are you getting my problem
[02:20] <tim-laptop> I did.
[02:20] <Ryan_was_here> tim-laptop:  my second question :p
[02:20] <n08l3J> its  kinda hard to explain
[02:20] <tim-laptop> Repeat it please?
[02:20] <tim-laptop> :P
[02:20] <n08l3J> :)
[02:20] <punsad> toresn_: I think I followed these instructions: http://www.linux.com/articles/48771
[02:20] <poeloq> ubotu: !Atheros is is a developer of semiconductors for wireless communications commonly found in laptops. Atheros WiFi chips can be used in Ubuntu using the restricted drivers manager.
[02:20] <Ryan_was_here> Did you load your driver for the wireless card with ndiswrapper?
[02:20] <macksting> Darn. No manual entry for build-essential.
[02:20] <tim-laptop> Im not sute.
[02:20] <punsad> tim-laptop: did you load ndiswrapper?
[02:21] <tim-laptop> sure*
[02:21] <punsad> tim-laptop: that means you didn't
[02:21] <macksting> Is there a quick rundown on what I need to know when compiling using that?
[02:21] <casio1374633> hi , everyone , i' m looking for some documents which view by vim , like vim help . can you give me some help ?
[02:21] <Ryan_was_here> what version did you use for the driver?
[02:21] <ephemient> n08l3J: I have no idea what gtweakUT is or what it does
[02:21] <tim-laptop> Me? And which driver? My Atheros?
[02:21] <RequinB4> what is the advantage of using vi over nano or gedit
[02:21] <punsad> tim-laptop: did you *ever* have wifi working with this current linux install on that laptop?
[02:21] <tim-laptop> No.
[02:21] <wastrel> casio1374633: vimtutor
[02:21] <Ryan_was_here> tim-laptop:  are you new to linux?
[02:22] <ephemient> casio1374633: once you open vim, ":h" will bring you to its help pages
[02:22] <tim-laptop> Yessir.
[02:22] <Ryan_was_here> tim-laptop: ok, well what is the model number of your card?
[02:22] <n08l3J> ephemient: I was reading one of the custimization guide and it prompted me to install gtweakui
[02:22] <ephemient> casio1374633: also, like wastrel says, vimtutor is a good introduction to vim
[02:22] <tim-laptop> Im not sure.
[02:22] <Dr_willis> RequinB4,  there may come a time - whenyou have to use a rescue cd. and vi will be the only editor you can use. :)
[02:22] <punsad> RequinB4: less screwing around with mouse compared to gedit.  it's really good for editing config files.. lets you get in and out real quick
[02:22] <n08l3J> seems like it screwed up something in the UI settings
[02:22] <Ryan_was_here> tim-laptop: join #linuxreality
[02:22] <casio1374633> sorry, maybe i says wrong about i mean
[02:22] <Dr_willis> RequinB4,  once ya learn vi.. you know somtghing ya can put on your resume! :p
[02:22] <Ryan_was_here> punsad: join #linuxreality
[02:22] <Ryan_was_here> its more quiet in there :p easier for me to talk
[02:22] <r00tintheb0x> mmmmmmmmmm vi
[02:22] <Ryan_was_here> not so cluttered
[02:22] <r00tintheb0x> vi rocks
[02:22] <poeloq> Is it possible to use my Ubuntu laptop as a router? The laptop is connected via WiFi to the Internet and I want to connect my voipphone to the RJ45 and send over the WiFi. Possible?
[02:22] <casio1374633> i know :help . and i have an old computer
[02:23] <punsad> Dr_willis: I wouldn't go that far
[02:23] <casio1374633> only can read documents in vim
[02:23] <RequinB4> lol
[02:23] <Dr_willis> note that the default ubuntu installs tiny-vi, you proberly should install the full vi :) for your vi-goodness needs.
[02:23] <LtEmerpo1> hey guys...
[02:23] <casio1374633> but lots of book are pdf
[02:23] <Ryan_was_here> punsad: you want to join to help?
[02:23] <RequinB4> apt-get moo is still my favorite
[02:23] <LtEmerpo1> need massive help
[02:23] <n08l3J> hey LTEmerpol
[02:23] <RequinB4> whats up LtEmerpol?
[02:23] <Dr_willis> RequinB4,  dont for get 'cowsay'
[02:23] <wastrel> macksting: build-essential provides compiler and other utilities needed but normally each individual app will provide build instructions (README or INSTALL file)
[02:23] <NSM> RequinB4: Also, with ksh you can 'set -o vi' and have command line editing too.
[02:23] <punsad> Ryan_was_here: sure ... sounds like he never had it working
[02:23] <casio1374633> i want download some documents which can read by vim
[02:24] <casio1374633> and it is read like read vim help
[02:24] <punsad> tim-laptop: did you say you never goit it working?
[02:24] <Ryan_was_here> yeah he never got it working
[02:24] <Dr_willis> vimtutor is a very well done totoral program for vi :)
[02:24] <LtEmerpo1> ok
[02:24] <LtEmerpo1> well
[02:24] <Ryan_was_here> join #linuxreality to pitch in there. its seriously cluttered here lol
[02:24] <macksting> Wastrel: Gotcha. I'll look for files with those names.
[02:24] <r00tintheb0x> casio1374633 VIM can read anything plaintext
[02:24] <LtEmerpo1> i want compiz to work on 1280x1024.....
[02:24] <tim-laptop> No, I didnt.
[02:24] <punsad> Ryan_was_here: I was going to ask if it worked for him with a live cd.
[02:25] <punsad> tim-laptop: do you still have the vista partition on the laptop?
[02:25] <LtEmerpo1> well first i cant even get there because my screen resolution wont goto 1280x1024
[02:25] <LtEmerpo1> i dont understand why
[02:25] <ephemient> macksting: if you wish to compile a program which is already packaged in Ubuntu, use "sudo apt-get build-dep [package]" to install the dependencies needed to compile that package, and "apt-get source [package]" to download and unpack its source to the current directory
[02:25] <iMac> where can download the dock for ubuntu??
[02:26] <punsad> tim-laptop: you are going to need the windows drivers to get it to work
[02:26] <macksting> Packaged in Ubuntu. What exactly does that mean, if you don't mind my asking?
[02:26] <macksting> So's I know if what I'm talking about is, in fact, packaged in Ubuntu.
[02:26] <tim-laptop> I have the SYS file on my desktop.
[02:26] <LtEmerpo1> this is what my xconf says... pastebin.org/9270
[02:26] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1,  could you get yoru screen to go to 1280x1024 without conpiz running ?
[02:26] <casio1374633> okay, i study latex , and my latex reading book is pdf , i want some books can be read by vim, where can i download it
[02:26] <punsad> tim-laptop: is this a dual boot system?
[02:26] <Ryan_was_here> punsad: Join #linuxreality, we can both give him instructions there, cause if you tell him to do something over here, and I tell him to do something over there it will clash :P
[02:26] <ephemient> macksting: if the package is on one of the sources listed in /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:26] <tim-laptop> punsad: Yes, and please join #linuxreality
[02:26] <LtEmerpo1> yes... i did earlier in the day
[02:26] <RequinB4> casio - you want a .txt book?
[02:26] <_dac_> how does one go from one channel to another ?
[02:27] <LtEmerpo1> no i unchecked it once and now its back to the way it was..
[02:27] <casio1374633> yes ...!
[02:27] <wastrel> casio1374633: you want plaintext ebooks?
[02:27] <casio1374633> right !
[02:27] <ephemient> _dac_: what IRC client are you using?
[02:27] <RequinB4> cascio http://www.eldritchpress.org/nh/sl.txt
[02:27] <macksting> Yeah, I'm afraid it ain't there. Would that it were.
[02:27] <casio1374633> because my computer is too old
[02:27] <wastrel> /usr/share/doc/  has a lot of documentation
[02:27] <MdL054> Hey guys I got an issue... It happens when i boot off the 7.10 cd and try to run/install... I wrote everything out here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/18651
[02:27] <xristian> how can i convert avi to mpg .. any idea ?
[02:27] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1, it is not impossible that using compiz is requireing more resources and that your card can't handle that rez under that load, didyou ask about it in #compiz-fusion ?
[02:27] <angel__> hi!
[02:27] <MdL054> the people in the forums haven't been able to help me
[02:27] <casio1374633> PII  233Mhz
[02:27] <angel__> hi!
[02:27] <_dac_> do you mean Ubuntu or xchat
[02:27] <casio1374633> thanks ~~
[02:28] <RequinB4> hi angel__
[02:28] <LtEmerpo1> yeah they said come here
[02:28] <ephemient> _dac_: if you are using x-chat, you should be able to join multiple channels and click on their tabs to switch between them
[02:28] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1, lovely,  ps , don't post half links, post the whole thing
[02:28] <macksting> Hmm. A file says "INSTALL.Unix." Linux is Unix-related, right? So is that my file?
[02:28] <xristian> any video fan here ? i need to convert avi to mpg .. any idea ?
[02:28] <marcel> how can I create a user?
[02:29] <Pelo> xristian, avidemux
[02:29] <MdL054> xristian use virtualdub through wine
[02:29] <tritium> marcel: System -> Administration -> Users and Groups
[02:29] <MdL054> or avidemux
[02:29] <ephemient> marcel: System > Administration > Users and Groups
[02:29] <_dac_> okay, when I type/join #kubuntu, nothing happens
[02:29] <LtEmerpo1> http://www.pastebin.org/9270
[02:29] <wastrel> casio1374633: you could try pdftotext on your .pdf document
[02:29] <xristian> i got avidemux,, can u tell the whole route ?
[02:29] <LtEmerpo1> so am i screwed?
[02:29] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1, got xgl installed
[02:30] <LtEmerpo1> do i?
[02:30] <MdL054> xristian - http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
[02:30] <LtEmerpo1> i dont know
[02:30] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1, what is your video card ?
[02:30] <xristian> i am lost in avidemux,, no idea where to go. can u help
[02:30] <LtEmerpo1> 9600xt ati
[02:30] <RequinB4> xgl is pretty system intensive
[02:30] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: your video card is currently being driven by the "vesa" driver
[02:30] <Pelo> xristian,  on the left side change copy to sometingelse
[02:30] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: vesa has *NO* 3D acceleration
[02:30] <LtEmerpo1> so? whats that mean?
[02:30] <LtEmerpo1> so im screwed..
[02:31] <MdL054> no
[02:31] <marcel> using command line?
[02:31] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: oh wait, I can't read
[02:31] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: looks like you do have fglrx in your config too
[02:31] <MdL054> you need to change to fglrx
[02:31] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1,  you got the vesa driver right now, that ' s a fall back during the install,  you need to get eitehr the restriected driver or the binary for vista
[02:31] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: I can't tell which one is loaded though
[02:31] <Pelo> the binary for ati
[02:31] <LtEmerpo1> im confused..
[02:31] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: even if you had fglrx working, the stable version packaged in Ubuntu does not run Compiz
[02:31] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1,   goto  menu > system > admin > restrected drivers
[02:31] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: fglrx is the binary video driver from AMD for AMD/ATi video cards
[02:32] <MdL054> so I take it no one has any solutions for my issue?
[02:32] <xristian> im following u , what else .. Pelo
[02:32] <markybob> anyone in here having problems with deluge 0.5.7rc1 with invalid handle error and not starting?
[02:32] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: it has never run Compiz until very recently -- and that version is not packaged in Ubuntu stable
[02:32] <LtEmerpo1> ephemient i already have it clicked on.. it says its in use
[02:32] <matthew_> help!  I don't have any Window Border!!!  how do I get it back!?
[02:32] <casio1374633> wastrel: if i trans it from pdf to text , so can i  read it by vim as read it like by pdf ?
[02:32] <Pelo> xristian, that's pretty much it, once you have selected the new format, (if hat is all youw ant to do ) , save as
[02:32]  * macksting will assume so for the moment and just try it.
[02:33] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: if you want fancy effects, Compiz on top of Xgl on top of fglrx works
[02:33] <xristian> ok i ll try just the way u told me. and be back
[02:33] <xristian> thx
[02:33] <ephemient> matthew_: are you using compiz?
[02:33] <casio1374633> wastrel: PS:as well as ~~
[02:33] <wastrel> casio1374633: assuming the conversion works
[02:33] <ephemient> matthew_: (desktop effects)
[02:33] <LtEmerpo1> okay so how do i do that ephemient?
[02:33] <wers> what's yakuake's gtk counterpart? :D
[02:33] <ephemient> !xgl
[02:33] <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
[02:33] <matthew_> ephemient:  No, I used to be, but I uninstalled it.  Now when I start my computer I don't have window borders.  But if I can go to the command line and type "metacity" it comes back sometimes.
[02:33] <willytell> has anyone experienced with Certification Authority, PGP, etc.?
[02:33] <MdL054> "ata1.01: Exception eMask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 Action 0x0 Frozen"
[02:33] <MdL054> does anyone know
[02:34] <MdL054> what that means
[02:34] <MdL054> happens during boot off cd
[02:34] <LtEmerpo1> and remember.. i want my resolution to be 1280x1024 can that be done?
[02:34] <MdL054> when i try to install 7.10
[02:34] <casio1374633> wastrel: i tried it before by using software "fbgs " . but it doesn't work well
[02:34] <ephemient> matthew_: what version of Ubuntu did you do this on?
[02:34] <wastrel> it depends on the pdf
[02:34] <paragonc> i just installed 7.10 and i'm having trouble getting my RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI  to work
[02:34] <paragonc> it can see my network
[02:34] <paragonc> but it can't connect
[02:35] <marcel> how do I add user using the command line?
[02:35] <matthew_> ephemient:  gutsy
[02:35] <macksting> Um... Okay. How do I tell if I already have SDL stuff installed?
[02:35] <casio1374633> not only need spend lots of time .but also can not read well
[02:35] <markybob> marcel sudo adduser
[02:35] <paragonc> the network doesn't use WPA
[02:35] <wers> how do I cd up one directory? :D
[02:35] <MdL054> cd /
[02:35] <ephemient> matthew_: odd... gutsy installs compiz by default, only starts it on capable video cards, and automatically falls back to metacity...
[02:35] <ephemient> wers: cd ..
[02:35] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1, short answer yes,  lonag anser Id ont, knwo how I'm not familiar enough with the ati restricted driver
[02:35] <ephemient> wers: ".." is "parent directory", "/" is "root directory"
[02:35]  * macksting tried a few obvious ideas, but didn't find much useful.
[02:35] <wers> thanks ephemient  :D
[02:35] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1, www.ubuntuforums.org  www.google.com
[02:35] <MdL054> ephemient is right
[02:35] <MdL054> i was wrong

[02:36] <wers> what's the best gtk yakuake-like app? :D
[02:36] <ephemient> matthew_: hmm.  so the problem is that Gnome is set to load compiz by default
[02:37] <MdL054> ademi = fdisk -ls
[02:37] <MdL054> ademi - its usually hd0,1
[02:37] <Pelo> ADemiG0D,  in grub , hdA,B means  A hdd, B partiton, the numbering starts with 0 ,  so sda3 would be hd0,2
[02:37] <systest> can anyone point me to a doc on disabling avahi?
[02:37] <INTU> there is, and i tried, but it wont work: there is a message "unmount: /media/sda1 mount disagrees with the fstab"

[02:42] <MasterShrek> =P
[02:42] <INTU> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45747/
[02:43] <WuGutsyClan> ?
[02:43] <Pelo> macksting,  pretty much ,  you might want to install  the related -dev packages if any are available
[02:43] <macksting> Relateds?
[02:43] <Pelo> WuGutsyClan, what ?
[02:43] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: Saying "Please, someone must know" doesn't help those of us who've just joined or simply weren't watching. Please restate your question.
[02:43] <WuGutsyClan> hey where can I find the library containing ixmlRelaxParser?
[02:43]  * macksting thinks his install attempt might be pinging out. Either that, or it's ****ing youge.
[02:44] <Pelo> macksting, you'll similarly named packages with a -dev at the end
[02:44] <WuGutsyClan> srry I cut and pasted my question 4 times before this
[02:44] <ephemient> matthew_: gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/current /usr/bin/metacity -t string
[02:44] <macksting> So I should apt-cache search libsdl dev?
[02:44] <ephemient> matthew_: sorry, it took me a while to look it up
[02:44] <rbil> INTU: in a terminal, unmount that partition by doing .... sudo umount -a /media/sda1
[02:44] <Pelo> WuGutsyClan, synaptic,  do a search form ixml
[02:44] <ephemient> macksting: either that, or use Synaptic's search
[02:44] <macksting> Or synaptic package etc?
[02:44] <macksting> Ah, okay.
[02:44] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: What kind of file is that?
[02:44] <spoilt99> CAN YOU UPDATE TO UBUNTU 7.10 WITH THE CD???
[02:44] <Pelo> spoilt99,  we can read smallcase
[02:44] <diafic> Time for bed. zzz
[02:45] <INTU> rbil will it damage my unbuntu partition to unmount my root partition?
[02:45] <Pelo> !upgrade | spoilt99
[02:45] <WuGutsyClan> I am ./configuring ushare and it gives me this error: hey where can I find the library containing ixmlRelaxParser?
[02:45] <ubotu> spoilt99: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:45] <mssever> spoilt99: With the alternate CD, yes; with the desktop CD, no
[02:45] <macksting> Ah, it can't run while apt-get is doing its thing.
[02:45] <ephemient> macksting: both "apt-get install" and Synaptic will show you "recommended" and "suggested" packages too
[02:45] <RequinB4> spoilt99 stop shoting
[02:45] <macksting> Oh! didn't know that.
[02:45] <rbil> INTU: once unmounted you should be able to use gparted to do what u want with that partition
[02:45] <WuGutsyClan> srry wrong clipboard item
[02:45] <macksting> Danke.
[02:45] <WuGutsyClan> checking for library containing ixmlRelaxParser... no
[02:45] <spoilt99> How do u download it???
[02:45] <Pelo> WuGutsyClan, do a search in synaptic,  search for ixml ,  also install any related -dev package
[02:45] <phoenix_> hey
[02:45] <spoilt99> phoenix_ hey
[02:45] <spoilt99> :)
[02:45] <Pelo> spoilt99,  get the dvd or the alternate cd from www.ubuntu.com
[02:45] <phoenix_> I need an op;)
[02:46] <rbil> INTU: your root is at /dev/sda2 according to your fstab
[02:46] <spoilt99> got it
[02:46] <phoenix_> or someone with the source for ubotu:)
[02:46] <WuGutsyClan> Pelo: the only thing synaptic got me was a perl thing, I do not *beleive I need that, I may be wrong, and what XML related -dev package will give me that thing
[02:46] <spoilt99> cause my synaptic package manager wont update to 7.10
[02:46] <Pelo> !ubotu > phoenix_ check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[02:46] <phoenix_> Everywhere I look online for ubotu is dead.  Does anyone happen to have the source code or know where I can find it?
[02:46] <spoilt99> Pelo
[02:46] <matthew_> ephemient:  thanks a bunch
[02:46] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: What language is this thing written in?
[02:47] <threefcata_> problem after installing gutsy gibbon!!
[02:47] <Eyekon> looking for someone that could help me with a problem i am having with WoW running under Ubuntu ..
[02:47] <spoilt99> ok
[02:47] <WuGutsyClan> Ushare..  I beleive C.. http://ushare.geexbox.org/
[02:47] <macksting> Oh dear. Eph, I sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev'd and all I've got for it is a couple of timeouts.
[02:47] <linxeh> WuGutsyClan: google suggests libupnp
[02:47] <phreakshow> video dies during liveCD run of ubuntu 7.1
[02:47] <rbil> INTU: maybe u should backup and tell us what it is you're trying to accomplish :-) maybe gparted isn't the tool to use
[02:47] <phreakshow> anyone know why?
[02:47] <Pelo> spoilt99,  what version are you on right now ?
[02:47] <ephemient> phreakshow: http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots/
[02:47] <Eyekon> I do have it working with Wine.. i can get into WoW .. problem im experiencing is with my addons not working properly
[02:47] <macksting> It doesn't seem interested in trying to find another source.
[02:47] <WuGutsyClan> I will try that, I have libupnp-dev
[02:47] <WuGutsyClan> I will try the other libupnp packages
[02:47] <phreakshow> ahh so this isn't a help chan, it's a bot chan?
[02:48] <phoenix_> haha
[02:48] <spoilt99> 7.04 i am
[02:48] <threefcata_> fresh install 7.10 trackpoint doesn't work, anyone knows why?
[02:48] <phoenix_> whoa, that db is nuts
[02:48] <Pelo> phreakshow, we have the bot to give links on common problems
[02:48] <phoenix_> but my database for my bot is no where ready for that format..
[02:48] <phoenix_> who runs the bot?
[02:48] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: If you can't find it in Synaptic, try googling it. You might be able to discover the package name that way. It's also possible that that library isn't in Ubuntu and you'll have to compile it yourself
[02:48] <spoilt99> it worked on the other pc
[02:48] <WuGutsyClan> yes I googled allot msserver, no luck
[02:48] <Pelo> spoilt99,  did you read the links for upgrading ubotu gave you ?
[02:48] <mssever> phoenix_: I believe that Seveas runs it
[02:48] <WuGutsyClan> I will try compiling libupnp
[02:48] <phreakshow> i have ati radeon x1300 pci-e vid card...video dies during liveCD boot ver 7.10
[02:48] <phoenix_> hmm
[02:49] <Pelo> phreakshow,  you need the alternate instal cd to install with a ati card
[02:49] <phreakshow> amd athalon 64 processor, 1.5gb ram, etc.
[02:49] <Loaxes> I have a USB-dongle mouse
[02:49] <Loaxes> any way to get that working?
[02:49] <thjc> Hi all, is there a way of disabling the built in extensions for ubuntus xserver (gutsy, amd64) I dont seem to be able to disable composite and would like to to debug some video issues
[02:49] <phreakshow> Pelo?  I do?
[02:49] <phreakshow> why?
[02:49] <phoenix_> k, well, I can't find the source for the life of me, pretty much any link to the source is down..
[02:49] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: And the program's docs don't mention the name of the required library?
[02:49] <lakin> Can I use dd to write a .iso file directly to a partition?
[02:49] <Pelo> phreakshow, cause ati doesnt, provide F0ss drivers
[02:49] <threefcata_> fresh install 7.10 trackpoint doesn't scroll, i tried editing xorg.conf as said online but no luck, anyone knows why?
[02:49] <WuGutsyClan> libupnp, but I have that
[02:49] <macksting> Revise: Not super-urgent, but I'd prefer to figure out what's wrong with this before I have to leave for my movie lest I forget where I left off. I'm trying to get SDL components and apt-get's failing to connect to the server or whatever it is. I don't know how to cancel.
[02:49] <macksting> Or if I shou.d.
[02:49] <spoilt99> no
[02:50] <spoilt99> what is UBOTU?????
[02:50] <Eyekon> i realize there is quite a few people in here and alot of "threads" going on all at once.. if you are familiar with running WoW on ubuntu, i could use some help getting my Addons working.. i have WoW working, just my addons arent working properly...  please send me a /msg
[02:50] <phreakshow> maybe i should take this as a sign and stick to windows lol...ah well i'll try the alt cd..ty pelo
[02:50] <ephemient> macksting: you can Ctrl-C to stop
[02:50] <Pelo> phreakshow,   the alternate isntall cd will install a vesa drivere that will allow you a gui when you boot after that you can install restricteddriver for your ati card or the binary
[02:50] <macksting> Okay. So *now* I'll try Synaptic.
[02:50] <macksting> Danke.
[02:50] <Pelo> spoilt99,  ubotu is a bot, we use it to give ppl links
[02:50] <Pelo> !upgrade | spoilt99
[02:50] <ubotu> spoilt99: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:50] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: So the file you're looking for is part of libupnp, but for some reason configure can't find it?
[02:50] <Pelo> spoilt99, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[02:51] <WuGutsyClan> I will try compiling libupnp myself
[02:51] <threefcata_> fresh install 7.10 trackpoint doesn't scroll, i tried editing xorg.conf as said online but no luck, anyone knows why?
[02:51] <fsufitch> hey guys i got a problem
[02:51] <RequinB4> Pelo either get a new keyboard or say "do not" >.>
[02:51] <macksting> Darn. Synaptic's come up short so far.
[02:51] <fsufitch> just 30 mins ago all my X died for no apparent reason
[02:51] <Pelo> RequinB4,  or you can learn to live with it
[02:52] <fsufitch> and it started complaining about libexpat.so.0 missing
[02:52] <RequinB4> Heh, just a little sarcasm
[02:52] <RequinB4> cool down
[02:52] <INTU> Rbil: i have a dual boot... i need to reinstall windows on my NTFS partion
[02:52] <ephemient> WuGutsyClan: libupnp 1.4.3 is packaged in Gutsy as libupnp2 and libupnp-dev; do you need to compile it?
[02:52] <mssever> !oneline | fsufitch
[02:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about oneline - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[02:52] <phoenix_> friiiig
[02:52] <INTU> rbil, this is why i need to format my ntfs, to reinstall windows
[02:52] <rbil> INTU: that is a job since windows will overwrite your mbr
[02:52]  * macksting shrugs.
[02:52] <WuGutsyClan> I am now compiling libup 1.6.1
[02:52] <fsufitch> ok thx
[02:52] <macksting> No better time to leave off and come back to it later.
[02:52] <WuGutsyClan> and i have 7.04 Ubuntu Server :(
[02:52] <INTU> ?! why?? how do i avoid that?
[02:52] <macksting> Thanks for the brief tour, I'll try to retain it all!
[02:53] <Pelo> macksting, g'night
[02:53] <rbil> INTU: you don't need to format ntfs for the windows partition, as an install of xp will do that automatically
[02:53] <WuGutsyClan> I got libupnp-dev ephemient
[02:53] <macksting> Yeah, might be back later. Thanks again.
[02:53] <rbil> INTU: but you'll lose your mbr.
[02:53] <dwxreaper> ubuntu: are you better than windows
[02:53] <EdwardXP> I need 2,000 dollars for computer upgrades..
[02:53] <ephemient> INTU: Windows install *always* overwrites the MBR
[02:53] <EdwardXP> please donate to me lol
[02:53] <ephemient> INTU: unfortunately, there is no way around it
[02:53] <INTU> mbr = ??
[02:53] <phoenix_> hmmm
[02:53] <ephemient> INTU: master boot record
[02:53] <INTU> i see

[02:54] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: I don't know what you mean by ephemient; is that a package name?
[02:54] <xwinders> EdwardXP: here's 17 cents to your cause
[02:54] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: OK, good

[02:55] <EdwardXP> which Irc client do you reconmend?
[02:55] <Pelo> ephemient,  apparently your nick is also the name of an app
[02:56] <ephemient> Pelo: wow :)
[02:56] <WuGutsyClan> ya before
[02:56] <Pelo> EdwardXP, xchat is nice

[02:56] <fsufitch> so... on one line: all my X server crashed about 1/2 hr ago; whenever i tried starting an xterm it complained about libexpat.so.0 not existing; the way i noticed something was wrong is i tried to restart my pidgin and it was just printing "Core Dump (0)"; now i rebooted my computer, and no X server will start up; i only have my 6 ttys available; thank goodness for irssi. can anybody help?
[02:56] <ephemient> EdwardXP: xchat-gnome is nice for a GUI client, and irssi is nice for a console client
[02:57] <EdwardXP> i know but i need a interactive client
[02:57] <phoenix_> Does anyone know what's the best time to see Seveas online at?
[02:57] <phoenix_> or know how I can get ahold of him?
[02:57] <ADemiG0d> i cant reinstall grub
[02:57] <mssever> fsufitch: Anything interesting in ~/.xsession-errors?
[02:57] <Pelo> fsufitch, try reconfigureing xserver ?
[02:57] <ADemiG0d> i get error 21 every time
[02:57] <EdwardXP> too doodle and live voice chat
[02:57] <fsufitch> mssever: let me check
[02:57] <ephemient> fsufitch: maybe "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libexpat1"
[02:57] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, what partiton is ubuntu on ? the devtree ?
[02:58] <fsufitch> ephemient, Pelo, i'll try mssever's xsession errors first
[02:58] <ADemiG0d> its on /dev/sda1
[02:58] <dahitokiri> is there a version of ubuntu that's more "bleeding edge" than the standard?
[02:58] <ephemient> dahitokiri: see #ubuntu+1
[02:58] <mssever> dahitokiri: Hardy
[02:58] <linux88> Ok, so i have an external harddrive, and i am trying to delete the contents, but it doesnt let me and it wont let me unmount it
[02:58] <dahitokiri> where can i get that?
[02:58] <ephemient> dahitokiri: no CD yet.  you can upgrade to it from an existing install
[02:58] <mssever> dahitokiri: /join #ubuntu+1
[02:59] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, that would be  hd0,0,  when you get to the grub menu,  select the ubuntu entry in the list and hit e for edit,  then select the root line and hit e for edit,  change the hd... for hd0,0, then hit enter and b for boot
[02:59] <ephemient> linux88: you should be able to right-click it on the desktop or Nautilus's sidebar and select "unmount"
[02:59] <Pelo> ADemiG0d,  adter that if you boot correctly go and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to make the change permanent
[02:59] <mssever> linux88: Why won't it let you unmount? Is it busy?
[03:00] <fsufitch> mssever: should i try looking at the bottom or top of the error log?
[03:00] <ADemiG0d> i cant get into the grub menu w/o having an external HD attatched
[03:00] <frost0> when i replaced my toolbar on the bottom...i can no longer maximize minimized windows because they just disappear...no bar on the bottom....any ideas guys?
[03:00] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, is ubunutu installed on an external hdd ?
[03:00] <linux88> ephemient i did that. mssever i dont know, it says something is being used. but nothing is
[03:00] <mssever> fsufitch: dunno where th error would be. More likely to be at the bottom
[03:00] <ADemiG0d> (i installed ubuntu on an external Now i get grub error 21 when booting from internal with no external attatched
[03:00] <mwilliam13> how do you get rid of the "zoom follow mouse" if you inadvertantly press "super" + "r"?
[03:00] <ADemiG0d> yeah its installed on the external
[03:00] <mssever> linux88: Well, that's why you can't unmount
[03:00] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, here is why ,  grub is in two parts
[03:01] <ADemiG0d> ok
[03:01] <fsufitch> at the bottom it's just a series of QPainter errors, some about a begin() failing and some about an end() failing because the begin() failed
[03:01] <linux88> mssever nm  jsut rebooted it and now i can delete
[03:01] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, stage one on the boot hdd, stage 2 on the hdd with ubuntu on it,  stage one refers to the menu.lst on stage to to get you the boot menu
[03:01] <frost0> Pelo, when i replaced my toolbar on the bottom...i can no longer maximize minimized windows because they just disappear...no bar on the bottom....any ideas
[03:02] <mssever> linux88: For future reference, fuser will tell you what's using your partition
[03:02] <ephemient> linux88: or lsof
[03:02] <ADemiG0d> this is obviously bad, what do i need to fix it so i can boot from the internal hdd w/o an external?
[03:02] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, you need to dl the supergrub cd to change the mbr on your internal boot hdd back to the original windows mbr,  and then you can install a statge 1 on the external hdd, and boot from it when you nee dto start ubuntu
[03:02] <masmota> anyone got svideo out working?  i see the computer "booting up" on the tv, but when X kicks in, the television "flashes" but stays blank.
[03:02] <fsufitch> mssever: any idea about the QPainter errors?
[03:02] <ephemient> masmota: what happens after running "xrandr --auto" ?
[03:02] <linux88> mssever ephemient ok thanks
[03:03] <Pelo> frost0, right cilck on an empty space on the bottom panel, select add to pannel, and instll windows list
[03:03] <mwilliam13>  
[03:03] <mssever> fsufitch: Not a clue
[03:03] <mwilliam13> how do you get rid of the "zoom follow mouse" if you inadvertantly press "super" + "r"?
[03:03] <masmota> ephemient:  dunno, gimme like 2 mins and i'll tell ya :)
[03:03] <ephemient> mwilliam13: Super+1
[03:03] <ADemiG0d> holy hell, Pelo, is there a site with instructions on that?
[03:03] <mwilliam13> i love you...  thank you!
[03:03] <ADemiG0d> I never had windows installed in the first place
[03:03] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, ubotu will give you a bunch of links,  last link, toward the bottom of the page
[03:03] <Pelo> !grub | ADemiG0d
[03:03] <ubotu> ADemiG0d: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:03] <fsufitch> mssever: that's bad; i'll try the reconfigure stuff now
[03:04] <frost0> Pelo, thank you very much
[03:04] <masmota> ephemient:  it didnt produce any output
[03:04] <masmota> ephemient:  and no effect
[03:04] <mssever> fsufitch: have you tried typing startx from a console?
[03:04] <mssever> fsufitch: never mind, reconfiguring is a better option
[03:04] <linux88> how do i list my hard drives?
[03:04] <Inverse> grrrr, why does grub break and reset my bios if it gets interrupted during boot
[03:04] <linux88> so i can mount
[03:04] <poseidon> I'm trying to write an image file to a cd, how am I supposed to mount the cd though?
[03:04] <aubrey> what software can i use to add music to my zune?
[03:04] <ephemient> linux88: cat /proc/partitions
[03:04] <poseidon> a cd image file .iso
[03:04] <mssever> linux88: liik in /dev/disk
[03:05] <spoilt99> i cant upgrade to 7.10 in my update manager!!!
[03:05] <spoilt99> i dont know why
[03:05] <ephemient> poseidon: you can't mount the blank CD you're burning to
[03:05] <linux88> ephemient can i get more info with that command
[03:05] <aubrey> can somebody help me as to what software i should use for my zune? mp3, and video player?
[03:05] <poseidon> ephemient, what am I supposed to do?
[03:05] <ephemient> spoilt99: try "gksu 'update-manager -d'" ?
[03:05] <Rian-Davide> is there any customized ubuntu distros like ubuntu mint that can support a broadcom wireless modem right off of th live cd and one that also has a bit torrent client?
[03:06] <hockeyfan5000> aubrey if someone knows the answer, they will get to you
[03:06] <Pelo> aubrey,  if your zune mounts as a usb flash drive just drag drop to it
[03:06] <fsufitch> mssever: returns a few lines saying: "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start."
[03:06] <ephemient> poseidon: Gnome should have asked you if you wanted to burn a CD when you inserted the empty disc
[03:06] <masmota> ephemient:  what should xrandr --auto do?
[03:06] <ephemient> poseidon: if it didn't, right-click on the .iso and select burn
[03:06] <Scunizi> spoilt99, try this at the terminal then back to synaptic to see if the upgrade button is there. sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:06] <ephemient> masmota: it should try to enable all attached monitors
[03:06] <Pelo> spoilt99,  did you got and look at the upgrade instructions ubotu provided ?
[03:06] <hockeyfan5000> I have a Zune, but have not tried it on linux yet
[03:07] <ephemient> fsufitch: it sounds like your /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 got corrupted somehow
[03:07] <ephemient> fsufitch: please try reinstalling libexpat1
[03:07] <fsufitch> ephemient: i'll do that...
[03:07] <poseidon> when I insert the empty disk it shows up on the desktop, then when I go to burn the .iso to the disk, it acts as if the disk isn't there, ephemient
[03:08] <Pelo> poseidon,  maybe the correct destination is not proveided in nautilus
[03:08] <ADemiG0d> when i type find /boot/grub/stage1 i get error 15
[03:08] <ephemient> linux88: like mssever suggested, you can look in /dev/disk/
[03:08] <Pelo> poseidon, try with gnomebaker
[03:08] <spoilt99> Scunizi Any other ones???
[03:08] <Rian-Davide> Is there a whats the link to ubuntu offtopic?
[03:08] <poseidon> pelo, how would I go about doing that?
[03:08] <ADemiG0d> curse these errors, why cant it be like "your shit is f'd up! reinstall grub" or something, not error 15
[03:08] <ephemient> poseidon: if you are comfortable with the command line, wodim also burns CD images
[03:08] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, that's not how it works,  there is no stage 1 file, persay

[03:09] <mwilliam13> I have installed gutsy gibbion on a dell latitude d620.  I had a complete install working fine with fiesty fawn, including the wireless nic (a broadcom 43xx as a dell 1490).  I did the fresh install because the update manager kept failing when I was loading the bianaries for 7.10.  I did the fresh install, then using wireless windows drivers (the inf files) and the ndiswrapper 1.49 the same way as I had before, but this time it is fu
[03:09] <mwilliam13> bared.  I followed along an install from "frodob's" post on installing a broadcom 43xx wireless nic, on an Ubuntu community forum <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_(ndiswrapper)?highlight=(WifiDocs%2FDevice)> but had issues after i edited config files as instructed.  now i have no access to even view the wnic.

[03:09] <ubuntu> ww
[03:09] <mwilliam13> sorry

[03:10] <spoilt99> im dying here too
[03:10] <ephemient> fsufitch: ooh.  sounds like your system crashed
[03:10] <wastrel> fsufitch: you have another apt or aptitude or dselect or synaptic or adept or whatever running maybe
[03:10]  * Pelo recommends mwilliam13 looks up the definition or succint in the closest dictionnary 
[03:10] <ephemient> fsufitch: if no other package managers are running, remove that lock file (sudo rm) and try again
[03:10] <fsufitch> wastrel: i don't have anything else running
[03:11]  * Pelo probably spelled succint wrong 
[03:11] <fsufitch> ephemient: i'll try that
[03:11] <ephemient> fsufitch: actually, you probably want to run "apt-get install -f"

[03:11] <r00tintheb0x> hi wastrel
[03:11] <ephemient> fsufitch: that will complete whatever installs apt was last running
[03:11] <ADemiG0d> all these articles are useless, i dont have windows

[03:12] <r00tintheb0x> ADemiG0d why are they useless, what are you trying to get done?
[03:12] <ADemiG0d> i installed ubuntu on my external HD

[03:12] <ADemiG0d> now I cant boot to ubuntu on my internal without having the external hooked up
[03:12] <fsufitch> i think i really died
[03:12] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, get the supergrub cd , last link toward thebottom ofthe page, tehre is a link for it, you dl it you burn it ,and you boot from it,  it has menues in it with options for you to chose to restore the windows mbr and install stage 1 on the esternal hdd
[03:12] <ADemiG0d> grub gives me error 21 when i boot w/o the external
[03:12] <ephemient> mwilliam13: I'm not familiar with this machine.  is there areason you are trying to use ndiswrapper rather than bcm43xx?
[03:12] <ephemient> fsufitch: oops
[03:13] <ephemient> fsufitch: are you booted into single (recovery) mode?
[03:13] <spoilt99> do u guys know how to install 7.10 from package manager?
[03:13] <masmota> ephemient:  any other suggestions?  im using an ati card if that helps
[03:13] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, you are not listening , and apparently neitherwas I
[03:13] <mwilliam13> um..  the post suggested it on the ubuntu community.  that is the only reason.
[03:13] <spoilt99> cause mine wont allow me to

[03:13] <ADemiG0d> !msg ubotu grub
[03:13] <ephemient> fsufitch: yes, and run fsck
[03:13] <r00tintheb0x> ADemiG0d have you tried setting your primary master to LBA in BIOS?
[03:13] <spoilt99> Pelo, are you from paki ville?

[03:13] <fsufitch> ephemient: ok, cya soon, i hope
[03:14] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, that was a mistake on my part,  give me a minute to get you a link
[03:14] <ADemiG0d> ok
[03:14] <ephemient> masmota: ATI cards... multihead is only working on the older ones
[03:14] <thinh> what better ddclient or the builtin ddns on the router?
[03:14] <masmota> ephemient: its a radeon8500... using the "ati" driver
[03:15] <ephemient> ephemient: odd, that is supposed to work, then
[03:15] <ephemient> masmota: this wouldn't happen to be an old PowerBook or iBook?
[03:15] <masmota> ephemient:  no this is a desktop machine i built
[03:16] <Pelo> ADemiG0d,  you have ubuntu installed on your internal hdd right ? and on an external hdd is that correct ?
[03:16] <ADemiG0d> correct
[03:16] <ephemient> masmota: that's odd, it really is supposed to work.
[03:16] <ADemiG0d> its on a laptop, i'm on my desktop right now
[03:16] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, ok here is a link to the supergrug cd,  dl it and burn it,   http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/
[03:16] <mwilliam13> ephemient: better way to ask, "what is the best way to configure a dell 1490 (a/b/g) card to work on ubuntu 7.10?
[03:17] <masmota> ephemient:  well thats good, at least i know to keep trying
[03:17] <ephemient> masmota: does "xrandr" output descriptions of the monitor and the TV?
[03:17] <masmota> ephemient:  all i tried was the --auto
[03:17] <masmota> and no output
[03:17] <Pelo> ADemiG0d,  when you boot from it , you go into the gnu/linux section,  tell it to restore the stage 1 on the internal and make it point to the /boot/grub/menu.lst on the internal hdd
[03:17] <ephemient> mwilliam13: did you ever try to get wireless up and running without ndiswrapper?
[03:18] <Pelo> ADemiG0d,  you'll have to figure out the menus on your own I haven't done this in a while and I can't walk you through it
[03:18] <K> anyone know where I can find a list of drivers for ATi cards? I'd like to know if a 1850 is supported.
[03:18] <ephemient> mwilliam13: I'm just not familiar with ndiswrapper, but bcm43xx works on my hardware
[03:18] <masmota> ephemient:  it just showed screen0 as vga
[03:18] <nsh> how do i find the most recently modified/created file with ls?
[03:18] <Pelo> spoilt99,  what is that paki vile comment about ?
[03:18] <mwilliam13> ephemient: the windows wireless drivers?

[03:19] <wastrel> nsh: ls -t
[03:19] <linux88> any good task managers out there?
[03:19] <ephemient> mwilliam13: ndiswrapper converts the windows drivers to Linux drivers; bcm43xx is a project that wrote a Linux-native driver for the same hardware
[03:19] <poseidon> when I look at the properties->volume->size of me empty 700mb cd-rom it says 2kb?
[03:19] <Pelo> linux88, for automating tasks ? like av and stuff ?
[03:19] <linux88> Pelo no more like the windows version of task manager
[03:19] <nsh> wastrel: so ls -t | head -1 will be the newest file?
[03:19] <ephemient> mwilliam13: can you unload and undo the ndiswrapper changes and try letting bcm43xx load?
[03:20] <MdL054> I have an issue: When booting the 7.04 or 7.10 cd and try to run it I get "ata1.01: Exception eMask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 Action 0x0 Frozen" and cannot procede. Any suggestions?
[03:20] <wastrel> nsh: looks right
[03:20] <mwilliam13> ephemient: ouch.  I am so trying to get off of the MS thing...  i am too noob.
[03:20] <Pelo> linux88,  command line only ,  open a terminal and type crontab -e ,  if you want to run something as root,  use  sudo crontab -e
[03:20] <ephemient> linux88: System > Administration > System Monitor
[03:20] <mwilliam13> ephiment: but I am trying.
[03:20] <poseidon> Why is it not able to right a .iso to my cd-rom?

[03:21] <randomoutburst> i have ubuntu installed and i was wondering if there is anyway i could download all the programs that come on backtrack2?
[03:21] <poseidon> pelo, i can't get gnomemaker, not internet connection on that comp
[03:21] <ephemient> mwilliam13: ooh.  I just thought of something...
[03:21] <ephemient> mwilliam13: http://tirdc.livejournal.com/15224.html
[03:22] <Pelo> poseidon, I think it is on the live cd ,  pop it in and add it as a repos, then run the command again
[03:22] <poseidon> jack_sparrow, once I do that and get to the initializing stage, it acts as though I don't have a cd in
[03:22] <thinh> which one works better router ddns or ddclient?
[03:22] <poseidon> pelo, my baby sister broke the live cd :(
[03:22] <Pelo> g'night folks ,I'm off to bed
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> poseidon: odd...

[03:22] <AdemoS> night pelo
[03:22] <buttercups> k, 1850 what?

[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo:  same here
[03:23] <mwilliam13> ephemient: I don't see the connection.  that is video stuff...  :)
[03:23] <alienz> what the effect if install compiz

[03:23] <Pelo> poseidon, www.getdeb.net  you can probabaly dl a gnomebaker.deb file from there and move it to your other comp with a flash drive ror something
[03:23] <ephemient> argh
[03:23] <r00tintheb0x> Chapman.
[03:23] <r00tintheb0x> lol
[03:23] <ephemient> I got confused as to who I was talking to
[03:23] <mwilliam13> ephemient: no prob
[03:23] <macksting> I assume if I've got 32-bit hardware, s'far as I can tell, and something says AMD64, I shouldn't try to use it?
[03:23] <mwilliam13> ephemient: I can come back when it is not so busy.
[03:23] <Pelo> ephemient,  I think you've been talking to the air for 2 hrs
[03:24] <ephemient> masmota, still around?
[03:24] <Pelo> anyhow
[03:24] <Pelo> g'night folks
[03:25] <randomoutburst> anyone know how i would do that?
[03:25] <mwilliam13> all:  where is the best place to find information on how to work with seemingly non-plug-and-play wireless nics?
[03:26] <LtEmerpoc> question...
[03:26] <LtEmerpoc> guys...
[03:26] <LtEmerpoc> im back.. but..
[03:26] <LtEmerpoc> question..
[03:26] <K> buttercups: ati x1850 it's a gt but a manufacturer overclocked version
[03:27] <MdL054> whats the deal
[03:27] <MdL054> people ignore me
[03:27] <LtEmerpoc> can i load ubuntu onto a laptop..
[03:27] <MdL054> not cool :(
[03:27] <LtEmerpoc> ?
[03:27] <mwilliam13> yes
[03:27] <MdL054> yes
[03:27] <MdL054> you can
[03:27] <ephemient> LtEmerpoc: yes
[03:27] <mwilliam13> i am doing that now
[03:27] <LtEmerpoc> like a sony vaio already loaded with vista
[03:27] <LtEmerpoc> ?
[03:27] <AdemoS> Man, trying to talk in #OpenOffice is getting me no response, they're dead over there
[03:27] <mwilliam13> all that suspense?
[03:27] <AdemoS> *#OpenOffice.org
[03:27] <MdL054> No one wants to help me
[03:27] <MdL054> :(
[03:27] <LtEmerpoc> well i want to but i REALLY dont want to deal with all the silly stuff ive been dealing with on my tower...
[03:27] <J_5> does anyone know zimbra is included in apt-get?
[03:28] <MdL054> I've been waiting patiently for hours as people all around me get their questions answered
[03:28] <MdL054> im about to say screw it and go gentoo
[03:28] <ephemient> LtEmerpoc: Ubuntu installed without modifications on my laptop, but YMMV
[03:28] <joshritger> I am using fiesty and beryl and I was wondering if there was a way to have a different desktop background on each of the 4 sides of the rotating cube that beryl creates?
[03:28] <mwilliam13> how is your memory situation, MdL054?
[03:28] <MdL054> I have 3gb
[03:28] <LtEmerpoc> what do you mean ephemient?
[03:28] <MdL054> of pc3200
[03:28] <mwilliam13> is it all good?  run mem tests?
[03:29] <randomoutburst> can someone explain how i would download all the programs that come with backtrack 2 to ubuntu?
[03:29] <MdL054> yup its A-OK
[03:29] <MdL054> that was one of the first things I did
[03:29] <ephemient> MdL054: it sounds like a kernel problem, and apparently nobody here is familiar with it
[03:29] <buttercups> k, look under support and drivers at amd.com, x1850 serious should be supported
[03:29] <mwilliam13> try pulling out like 2 gb, and test with different sticks...
[03:29] <ephemient> MdL054: what are your storage devices/drivers?
[03:29] <LtEmerpoc> ephemient.. ill show you the laptop i just got...
[03:30] <LtEmerpoc> tell me if i will have some problems with loading ubuntu on it..
[03:30] <MdL054> i have all IDE drives, 1 80gb and 2 160gb drives
[03:30] <atlfalcons866> will i notice a speed boost with a dual core cpu
[03:30] <ephemient> MdL054: the storage controller, the chipset
[03:30] <threefcata> fresh install 7.10 trackpoint doesn't scroll, i tried editing xorg.conf as said online but no luck, anyone knows why?
[03:30] <MdL054> •mwilliam13• I tried that as well, I stuck just the 1 stick in there with the same issue
[03:30] <ADemiG0d> pelo, do i boot to this supergrub disk when i have it burnt?
[03:30] <mwilliam13> hm.

[03:32] <ubuntuN00B> i'm having a problem fetching mail... here's (part of) my log:
[03:32] <ubuntuN00B> http://pastebin.com/d5491a0e
[03:32] <fsufitch> ephemient: so none of it is my fault? cuz now my parents are glaringi at me for not doing my homework and fixing linux instead
[03:33] <a|isha> i have to write a paper for school comparing ubuntu and mac in terms of security
[03:33] <a|isha> my friend told me to ask here for help
[03:33] <MdL054> •mwilliam13• ubuntu 5.10 does install btw if that helps
[03:33] <ubuntuN00B> (i'm using fetchmail, mutt, procmail, msmtp)
[03:33] <foso> mssever, sorry, what does that mean?
[03:33] <ephemient> fsufitch: I don't know for sure
[03:33] <mssever> a|isha: That's pretty broad
[03:33] <mwilliam13> no it doesn't help..  it confuses.
[03:33] <MdL054> hehe
[03:33] <fsufitch> ephemient: lol; so what's next in recovering this?
[03:34] <MdL054> no one on the forums has been able to help thus far either
[03:34] <mssever> foso: Ubotu told you what to install so you can enable the desktop cube
[03:34] <wastrel> ubuntuN00B: fetchmail is trying to deliver mail to a running SMTP server on localhost
[03:34] <mwilliam13> did you verify the iso after download? the checksum?
[03:34] <fsufitch> ephemient: fyi, fsck asked me if it can fix a lot of stuff such as overlapping things that i didn't really understand, but i hit "yes" for everything... it didn't seem like a good idea to leave anything _broken_
[03:34] <mssever> foso: What I said before was siply a command to ubotu
[03:34] <a|isha> mssever yea im only looking for general input
[03:34] <mssever> *simply
[03:34] <a|isha> comparing ubuntu and mac
[03:34] <a|isha> which one would be better and such
[03:34] <MdL054> •mwilliam13• yes and it passed. I also tried multiple mirrors
[03:35] <wastrel> ubuntuN00B: you have to configure fetchmail to use procmail as the MDA instead
[03:35] <foso> mssever, ok, just making sure i didnt do something wrong
[03:35] <mssever> a|isha: Well, as I don't own a Mac, I can't say much
[03:35] <mwilliam13> how about using a different optical media reader?
[03:35] <buttercups> a|isha, well both mac and ubuntu use sudo
[03:35] <a|isha> im also inside the mac channel so im hoping to get feedback from both sides
[03:35] <mwilliam13> can you boot your 7.10 on a different computer?  just into live?
[03:35] <ubuntuN00B> wastrel: hm, ok... how should i do this?
[03:35] <a|isha> what is sudo
[03:35] <wastrel> ubuntuN00B: dunno i don't use fetchmail anymore :]
[03:35] <MdL054> •mwilliam13• unfortionatly I only have the 1 available to me so I'm unable to test.
[03:35] <ephemient> fsufitch: well, I'd run badblocks or similar tools from a LiveCD, because usually a power outage doesn't cause filesystem corruption that badly

[03:36] <poseidon> anybody know where I can download gnomebaker.deb via the internet
[03:36] <foso> ok, my next question, how do i change the bg color of the splash screen?
[03:36] <frost0> anyone here familiar with ubuntu and nvidia?
[03:36] <MdL054> •mwilliam13• let me test the cd on another machine, I'll be back in a min.
[03:36] <ubuntuN00B> wastrel: ok, i will try to search the web
[03:36] <mssever> poseidon: from synaptic?
[03:36] <fsufitch> ephemient: i don't have a livecd... i'm going to have one on monday, but that's a bit late...
[03:36] <ephemient> poseidon: run "apt-cache show gnomebaker" and it will list a path on Ubuntu's archive servers
[03:36] <mssever> foso: Which splash screen?
[03:36] <frost0> Pelo, when i play a game i will play lag free and then boom kicked out to desktop....my player is just timed out on the server....what is going on with my nividia?
[03:36] <fsufitch> ephemient: why can't i run it from my laptop directly?
[03:37] <foso> mssever, right after login, i changed the little box that shows nautilus etc loading, but its still that nasty pink color
[03:37] <ephemient> fsufitch: badblocks does a surface scan of the disk by writing to the blocks on a disk
[03:37] <ephemient> fsufitch: can't do that to the filesystem you're currently booted off of
[03:37] <fsufitch> ephemient: i see; i have a windows install on this machine, do u think i can use that to run badblocks?
[03:38] <frost0> anyone here use and nividia with a little gaming?
[03:38] <frost0> nvidia*
[03:38] <mssever> foso: Look into the login window app (if you start from a terminal, gksudo gdm-setup)
[03:38] <ephemient> no, but the Disk Management mmc snap-in has a similar capability
[03:38] <hdevalence> why is it that you need to defrag ntfs but not ext2 ext3 ext4 reiserfs etc
[03:38] <foso> mssever i have tried that to no avail
[03:38] <randomoutburst> soooo.....anyone know how i could download a set of programs that come on another distro?
[03:38] <foso> im not real tech literate, so i dont use the teminal much
[03:38] <mwilliam13> was that ms windows there, ephemient???
[03:38] <frost0> mssever, when i play a game i will play lag free and then boom kicked out to desktop....my player is just timed out on the server....what is going on with my nvidia?
[03:38] <fsufitch> ephemient: the what? also, wouldn't it bother windows that linux is ext3?
[03:38] <mssever> foso: You must be running Gutsy, then
[03:38] <foso> yes sir
[03:39] <danforth> can anyone explain why my cd burning apps shut down?
[03:39] <ephemient> fsufitch: this is just a surface scan, Windows doesn't need to know anything about the actual filesystem, just what area on the hard disk it covers
[03:39] <mssever> foso: I had that splash screen problem in Gutsy
[03:39] <foso> mssever: i couldnt figure it out in feisty either
[03:39] <mssever> foso: One minute while I look up my solution
[03:39] <foso> thanks
[03:39] <mwilliam13> So, I am getting out a shot gun to the ubuntu install on this laptop.  will reinstall, because I know that i have effed up my wireless and network config files
[03:39] <poseidon> ephemient, it did not show couldnt' find any servers for it
[03:39] <ephemient> fsufitch: I think Windows has something like "\windows\system32\diskmgmt.mmc"?  I dunno since I don't use Windows on anything
[03:40] <ephemient> poseidon: archive.ubuntu.org/ubuntu
[03:40] <ephemient> poseidon:
[03:40] <fsufitch> ephemient: oh, it' sjust the windows disk management app?
[03:40] <ephemient> poseidon: oh wait, I might have misinterpreted you
[03:40] <ephemient> fsufitch: yeah
[03:40] <fsufitch> ephemient: ok, i'll boot to windows and contact you further from there
[03:40] <ephemient> fsufitch: mmc -> microsoft management console, or something like that?  I worked for a company that wrote some custom snap-ins for that
[03:40] <allenc> how do I start the samba nmbd daemon to resolve netbios names to ip addresses?
[03:41] <LtEmerpoc> hey guys
[03:41] <LtEmerpoc> back again
[03:41] <LtEmerpoc> anyone answer my question
[03:41] <fsufitch> ephemient: yeah, i think it's accessible from control panel > administrative tools
[03:41] <LtEmerpoc> ive got the sony and yeah
[03:41] <fsufitch> i'll see once i get on
[03:41] <LtEmerpoc> actually
[03:41] <ephemient> poseidon: do you have universe repositories?
[03:41] <mwilliam13> type mmc at run prompt.  there you can choose what snapins you need for the management of windows...
[03:41] <LtEmerpoc> different question
[03:41] <fsufitch> ephemient: ttys then
[03:41] <poseidon> ephemient, I'm trying to download it from on to my computer with windows, then transfer it to my ubuntu comp
[03:41] <LtEmerpoc> it says my ati drivers are enabled by not in use
[03:41] <LtEmerpoc> whats that mean"??
[03:42] <danforth> In gutsy all my cd burning apps shut down before starting to burn a cd any ideas????
[03:42] <mwilliam13> fsufitch
[03:42] <poseidon> my ubuntu comp doesn't have internet connection
[03:42] <mwilliam13> fsufitch
[03:42] <mwilliam13> type mmc at run prompt.  there you can choose what snapins you need for the management of windows...
[03:42] <ephemient> poseidon: you should fix that :)
[03:42] <ephemient> poseidon: but in this case, it's a little easier
[03:42] <ephemient> poseidon: just go to packages.ubuntu.com, search for gnomebaker, and download the correct dist.
[03:42] <a|isha> what makes ubuntu so secure guys
[03:42] <poseidon> ok thanks
[03:43] <buttercups> a|isha, you might get better feed back over at #ubuntu-offtopic, busy in here =)
[03:43] <a|isha> can anyone answer that, thats all i really need for my paper
[03:43] <a|isha> oh ok
[03:43] <a|isha> thanks
[03:43] <foso> how do i get more then 2 desktops? i dont see the box in gutsy
[03:43] <LtEmerpoc> someone tell me the sudo install get thingy command
[03:43] <LtEmerpoc> please
[03:43] <LtEmerpoc> help alot
[03:43] <somerville32> sudo apt-get install
[03:44] <infinitycircuit> foso, if you use compizconfig-settings-manager you can go to general settings and increase the number of desktops

[03:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cookie - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:44] <MdL054> •mwilliam13• The CD didn't work on the other computer. I got the same issues. I also burned the ISO from another computer and tried it on both mine and on the other computer and had the same issue... this is getting weird now...
[03:44] <poseidon> ephemient: how do I know which dist I have?
[03:44] <ephemient> LtEmerpoc: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager -- this isn't related to apt anymore
[03:44] <mwilliam13> sounds like a bad burn
[03:45] <mwilliam13> the iso is probably good, but your burner is sad.
[03:45] <ephemient> poseidon: you don't know if you're on Dapper or Edgy or Feisty or Gusty?
[03:45] <MdL054> I tried the burn from another computer too though
[03:45] <frost0> ephemient, once you are done with poseidon...could you please help me with my nvidia graphics card?

[03:45] <ubotu> MdL054: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[03:45] <mwilliam13> did you verify after the burn?
[03:45] <LtEmerpoc> ok well how do i install them now
[03:45] <EdwardXP> do you guys know a good website to compare astrology signs ???
[03:45] <poseidon> no
[03:45] <francesco> #ubuntu-it
[03:45] <EdwardXP> love hate money n that sort of thing?
[03:45] <MdL054> I didn't varify the burn

[03:45] <EdwardXP> bah okay,
[03:45] <MdL054> When i try to use the one built in on the CD i get the same msg
[03:45] <W1ZrD> !gcc
[03:45] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[03:45] <ephemient> frost0: I have no experience with binary drivers for graphics cards, so I'm kinda floundering around with LtEmerpoc :-/
[03:46] <mwilliam13> put it on a flash disk, then take it to your friend's house to burn.
[03:46] <frost0> ephemient, okay i understand...thx
[03:46] <mwilliam13> see if it changes the issue
[03:46] <jinxed> Does anyone here know any Verilog?
[03:46] <mssever> foso: See if this does the job: put the contents of http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45748/ into /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom; change the color code as you wish; then restart gdm: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:46] <K> buttercups: thanks.
[03:46] <MdL054> ok I have a computer downstairs I'm going to try it from. Thanks
[03:46] <mwilliam13> laters
[03:47] <poseidon> ephemient: I got my live cd from here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[03:47] <kasansweat> Will idleness cause a wireless (router to pc) connection to drop, and if so, are there any tools/daemons etc that will help prevent this?
[03:47] <ephemient> poseidon: when?
[03:47] <ephemient> poseidon: Gusty was released last month
[03:47] <kitche> kasansweat: just send a ping out every so often and it should stay connected
[03:47] <foso> mssever, do i include the greeter thing?
[03:47] <poseidon> a couple of months ago
[03:48] <kasansweat> kitche cool, thanks
[03:48] <mssever> foso: yes, unless that section is already present; then put the rest in the greeter section
[03:48] <kasansweat> fsufitch : are you in tallahassee?
[03:48] <thinh> anyone knows which one is better router ddns or ddclient?
[03:48] <ephemient> poseidon: probably Feisty, then
[03:48] <fsufitch> kasansweat: no
[03:48] <frost0> anyone else having trouble with their nvidia card on gutsy?
[03:48] <poseidon> ok, thanks
[03:48] <infinitycircuit> frost0, no mine works fine
[03:48] <frost0> with compiz and metacity?
[03:48] <ephemient> poseidon: unless you went for LTS and got Dapper... :-/
[03:48] <phoenix_> umm
[03:49] <neilthereildeil> hey all
[03:49] <bluewolfknight0> I'm having trouble with my belkin wireless card on gutsy
[03:49] <frost0> infinitycircuit, well when i play games mine runs great then randomly times out....
[03:49] <fsufitch> ephemient: i'm on windows now, what was that program you said i should use?
[03:49] <kasansweat> fsufitch : aha, either way, if you're associated with the school feel free to join #fsulinux, we're trying to get a group going here
[03:49] <neilthereildeil> i need help finding a new witreless driver for my wireless card
[03:49] <kitche> frost0: no but with compiz running games are barely able to be played have to turn it off first
[03:49] <fsufitch> kasansweat: what's #fsulinux?
[03:49] <neilthereildeil> how can i look for a newer driver?
[03:49] <frost0> kitche, i switch to metacity....then run my game...and it randomly kicks me back to the desktop
[03:50] <frost0> kitche, any settings i should look at?
[03:50] <majyk> why doesn't Ubuntu ship the latest Firefox? I just installed Ubuntu and I have 2.0.0.8 but 2.0.0.9 is out.... why is there a lag?
[03:50] <fsufitch> kasansweat: my school has an extensive linux computer lab, there's bound to be interested people if there's something with a name that contains "linux"
[03:50] <ephemient> neilthereildeil: please specify what wireless card you have
[03:50] <mssever> fsufitch: FSU = Florida State University
[03:50] <frost0> kitche, meanwhile my player times out...
[03:50] <infinitycircuit> majyk, is there a reason you need the newest version
[03:50] <kasansweat> fsufitch : are you at florida state?
[03:50] <foso> mssever the whole thing is already there
[03:50] <neilthereildeil> i have the linksys wpc54g
[03:50] <kitche> frost0: sounds like the game just crashes not really a video driver issue
[03:50] <fsufitch> kasansweat: no, i'm at tjhsst, in northern va
[03:50] <EdwardXP> anyone know a good server manager "that contains modules like" apache mysql, php and phpmyadmin... -- where fantasico is installed so i can even install more apps that are plugnplay on the server
[03:50] <fsufitch> kasansweat: high school, not college yet ;)
[03:51] <ephemient> majyk: Ubuntu already patches Firefox with security fixes etc. between Firefox's official releases
[03:51] <mssever> foso: so much for that idea... I know I fixed it somewhere :)
[03:51] <EdwardXP> that integrate well into the ubuntu platform
[03:51] <kasansweat> fsufitch : aha, from your name I thought you were associated with florida state university
[03:51] <somerville32> EdwardXP, webmin?
[03:51] <EdwardXP> is there a .deb file for that one?
[03:51] <frost0> kitche, are you sure....it happens in other games also..
[03:51] <Pici> !webmin | EdwardXP
[03:51] <ubotu> EdwardXP: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system
[03:51] <majyk> ephemient, maybe so but the version numbering is confusing
[03:51] <emily_> I keep getting a phantom box on my screen. It looks like the same size as the "please enter your superuser password"...anyone?
[03:51] <foso> which leads me to another issue, somehow i dont have permission to edit things on my ubuntu partition
[03:51] <majyk> why don't they just ship the latest official Firefox
[03:51] <EdwardXP> :(
[03:51] <fsufitch> kasansweat: i'd better come up with a better chat name then... i dont want people to get wrong impressions
[03:51] <majyk> instead of doing whatever it is they do
[03:51] <foso> its read only and wont let me change it
[03:51] <frost0> kitche, i'm pretty sure that i have some settings wrong.....i just don't know whats right :)
[03:52] <EdwardXP> somerville32, Pici  ... is this kinda like C_panel ?
[03:52] <fsufitch> ephemient: so what windows utility am i supposed to use?
[03:52] <ephemient> majyk: because Ubuntu does not ship the same Firefox binary that Mozilla produces
[03:52] <EdwardXP> thats' what im lookin for
[03:52] <somerville32> EdwardXP, yup
[03:52] <zewb> how do you change the cursors in fluxbox?
[03:52] <ephemient> fsufitch: disk management... or something
[03:52] <majyk> infinitycircuit: is there a reason I shouldn't?
[03:52] <EdwardXP> :) cool thanks im going to try it out
[03:52] <ephemient> it's been years since I've used Windows
[03:52] <wastrel> majyk: gutsy was released in october, it will have no software newer than that
[03:52] <Bugson> is there any reason that my usb hangs off??
[03:52] <Snowniak> somebody there wants to make a hacking sprint?
[03:52] <wastrel> majyk: (barring backports)
[03:52] <mssever> !sudo | foso
[03:52] <ubotu> foso: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:52] <emily_> Also is there a way to change where my windows are created? It's always creating them at the top left of the screen, where the top of the window is under the toolbar. How do you change the default new window locatin?
[03:52] <wastrel> ah i said gutsy :p
[03:52]  * wastrel loses
[03:52] <majyk> wastrel, that has always been my problem
[03:53] <infinitycircuit> majyk, well if you don't need a feature in the latest incremental release of firefox there's no real reason why you would need the upgrade
[03:53] <bluewolfknight0> hey, I'm trying to install my belkin wireless card, can anyone help?
[03:53] <W1ZrD> !packages
[03:53] <ubotu> 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!
[03:53] <majyk> for instance Glade 3 is broke, will there be a fix for it?
[03:53] <ephemient> majyk: well, Firefox has been known to break extensions on upgrades
[03:53] <fsufitch> ephemient: i'm at the disk management thing, but there's nothing about scanning disks; the only thing it allows me to do is to delete the partition, and somehow i know that' swrong
[03:53] <frost0> infinitycircuit, could you walk me through what nvidia-settings i should have?
[03:53] <zewb> how do you change the cursor in fluxbox? i apt-got the artwiz cursors and it automatically uses this ugly one and i want to change it
[03:53] <kalpik> majyk, if you always need the latest and greatest, use swiftfox
[03:53] <Reng> what is a good program to convert mkv files to avi?
[03:53] <EdwardXP> Pichu0102,  its not in the addremove programs should ii check out the snyaptic package manager, or so i have to refer to the main site?
[03:53] <ephemient> fsufitch: heh
[03:53] <EdwardXP> Pici,
[03:53] <Bugson> everything works but my usb is hanging after a while of using my pc ???
[03:53] <ephemient> fsufitch: that's annoying...
[03:53] <Pici> EdwardXP: ?
[03:53] <Bugson> any idea??
[03:53] <frost0> infinitycircuit, please...:P
[03:53] <LtEmerpoc> someone help alittle bit
[03:53] <hwdyki> what's the difference between the adm and admin group?
[03:53] <ephemient> fsufitch: sorry, I'm lost :-(
[03:53] <wastrel> feel free to install the latest whatever it is you want.  i do.
[03:53] <fsufitch> ephemient: you can say that again...
[03:54] <LtEmerpoc> how do i fix my screen resolution
[03:54] <infinitycircuit> frost0, i find that the restricted drivers manager sets it all up just fine for me.  if you want increased performance with your card you can try tweaking the xorg settings.
[03:54] <fsufitch> ephemient: wow, that was awesome timing... anyway, i'll try to find it...
[03:54] <phoenix_> ummm, I don't know how you guys do it
[03:54] <emily_> augh come on...anyone?
[03:54] <EdwardXP> apt-get update?
[03:54] <phoenix_> theres so many freakin' topics I can't read em
[03:54] <ivx> hey i just set up a nfs server and i can mount it on a client but when i go to drag files over from my desktop they just dissapear from the desktop, and don't show up where i dragged them to. if i log off the client and back on the appear on my desktop again, does anyone know what is wrong
[03:54] <infinitycircuit> frost0, check out www.sidux.com and go to the wiki -> system administration -> the perfect desktop and you will find a whole list of xorg tweaks
[03:54] <zewb> how do you change the cursor in fluxbox? i apt-got the artwiz cursors and it automatically uses this ugly one and i want to change it
[03:54] <phoenix_> jeebus
[03:54] <fsufitch> ephemient: but can i have a good description of what's ACTUALLY wrong? i'm still sorta confused about that
[03:54] <phoenix_> zewb, it's not hard
[03:54] <Hatty> is the ca. APT server down?
[03:54] <zewb> i know
[03:54] <zewb> i just don't know where to do it
[03:54] <phoenix_> ummm
[03:55] <phoenix_> are you in 7.10?
[03:55] <zewb> yes
[03:55] <Hatty> ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[03:55] <W1ZrD> I need zlib >= 1.2.0 (for archivezip module), which package could that possible be?
[03:55] <frost0> infinitycircuit, thank you very much
[03:55] <majyk> kalpik, I don't always need the latest but I don't understand this 6 month release cycle, software become really stale... this isn't windows where software evolves in the course of YEARS
[03:55] <Pici> W1ZrD: libzlib-dev
[03:55] <ephemient> fsufitch: your filesystem got corrupted. fsck fixed it so that it's in a stable state, but the files on disk may contain bad data
[03:55] <phoenix_> should be...
[03:55] <EdwardXP> Pici, im performing an apt-get update >> and im going to look for webmin in the system
[03:55] <foso> mssever, sorry, im not real experienced at this and dont get how to apply that info to what im trying to do
[03:55] <fsufitch> ephemient: and i have to find a way to recover my good data?
[03:55] <Pici> EdwardXP: Did you read the messave from ubotu?
[03:55] <mssever> ivx: What happens when you move/copy them from the command line?
[03:55] <Pici> !webmin | EdwardXP
[03:55] <ubotu> EdwardXP: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system
[03:55] <majyk> I'm holding out for the Ubuntu that evolves like Gentoo
[03:55] <phoenix_> cursor selection?
[03:55] <kalpik> majyk, then probably u should run a rolling release distro like debiad sid/arch/gentoo
[03:55] <ephemient> fsufitch: sounds like your system was interrupted in the middle of an upgrade... and not really
[03:55] <wastrel> majyk: debian's last release took 2 years
[03:55] <phoenix_> ya
[03:55] <W1ZrD> Pici: for feisty it says: zlib1g-dev, is that the one then?
[03:56] <phoenix_> ummm
[03:56] <ivx> msserver, i don't know how up
[03:56] <ephemient> fsufitch: there's no way to tell good data from bad, since ext2/3 doesn't checksum data
[03:56] <zewb> cursor selection in fluxbox
[03:56] <Pici> W1ZrD: sure, sounds good
[03:56] <pussfeller> how do you make a module autoload
[03:56] <majyk> kalpik, I already do
[03:56] <ivx> msserver, *hold up
[03:56] <EdwardXP> :(
[03:56] <EdwardXP> nooo
[03:56] <Hatty> is the ca.archive.ubuntu.com APT server down?
[03:56] <wastrel> pussfeller: put it in /etc/modules
[03:56] <ephemient> pussfeller: add to /etc/mo
[03:56] <mssever> foso: Basically, system files are owned by the root user and can only be written by that user; this is for security purposes
[03:56] <Pici> EdwardXP: Thats what I was trying to say earlier.
[03:56] <ephemient> argh
[03:56] <zewb> im not sure where apt-get even put the artwiz cursors
[03:56] <fsufitch> ephemient: i see, so i just have to hope for the best... fyi, i was upgrading earlier, but i didn't interrupt it
[03:56] <kriel> what is the hardware clock set to when using ubuntu? is it set to local time or GMT?
[03:56] <ephemient> pussfeller: add to /etc/modules <-- like wastrel sasid
[03:56] <kalpik> majyk, then you just need to understand that Ubuntu is not like that :(
[03:56] <majyk> I want a binary distro like Ubuntu that evolves not stagnates for 6 months
[03:56] <pussfeller> wastrel: the name of the module?
[03:56] <fsufitch> ephemient: maybe it just crashed...
[03:56] <wastrel> yes
[03:56] <ephemient> fsufitch: did you system crash or power off?
[03:56] <EdwardXP> Pici,  is there an alternative thats' just as good, can you reconmend me another distro?
[03:56] <Pici> kriel: it asks when you install if you have it set to UTC or local.
[03:56] <kalpik> majyk, tried archlinux?
[03:56] <fsufitch> ephemient: no, not at that time
[03:56] <foso> mssever should/can i try it
[03:56] <Pici> EdwardXP: I don't know, sorry.
[03:57] <infinitycircuit> majyk, tried the real debian?
[03:57] <wastrel> majyk: debian testing or sid
[03:57] <pussfeller> cool, thanks wastrel
[03:57] <kriel> Pici: I don't remember it asking... any way i can check that post-install?
[03:57] <foso> mssever, ie change the permissions ?
[03:57] <fsufitch> ephemient: do you think it woul dbe a good idea to just get all of my ~, pack it up, take it away, then reinstall linux?
[03:57] <mssever> foso: The sudo and gksudo commands allow authorized users (such as the account created when you installed) to temporarily gain root privileges
[03:57] <jakelfenix> hola
[03:57] <ephemient> fsufitch: yes, that would be my recommended plan of action
[03:57] <jakelfenix> hello
[03:57] <LtEmerpo1> im guessing everyone is pissed at me asking about my screen resolution.. lol
[03:57] <Hatty> is the ca.archive.ubuntu.com APT server down?
[03:57] <Pici> kriel: I think its `sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata`
[03:57] <fsufitch> ephemient: i've had a LOT of other problems because of upgrades and such in the past
[03:57] <mssever> foso: Changing the permissions can break your system if you do it wrong
[03:57] <majyk> anyway just don't realize why Ubuntu doesn't ship the latest version of Firefox
[03:57] <kalpik> majyk, arch is probably THE most cutting edge distro
[03:57] <darkentity> is there a way to get a thumbnail view of pictures before u send them because evolution and pidgin i.m. have no options to do that
[03:57] <jakelfenix> alguien sabe como hacer un chroot de fedora en ubuntu?
[03:57] <ephemient> fsufitch: you could save a copy of /var/lib/dpkg/status as a list of what packages you have installed
[03:57] <wastrel> majyk: perhaps it's in the process of being backported.
[03:57] <LtEmerpo1> how do i install the ati drivers..
[03:57] <fsufitch> edgy -> feisty -> gutsy wasn't very friendly on my computer
[03:57] <foso> mssever, ok i think i getcha
[03:57] <Pici> !es | jakelfenix
[03:57] <ubotu> jakelfenix: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda.
[03:57] <mssever> !es | jakelfenix
[03:57] <kriel> Pici: guess i'll find out soon enough. Thanks.
[03:58] <neilthereildeil> how can i find the newest driver for my wireless card?
[03:58] <ivx> msserver, i quick just right clicked and created file and dragged it over, and back and forth a few times and it worked fine, the other files i was trying where ubuntu iso's. why would it behave like that
[03:58] <fsufitch> ephemient: actually i shouldn't, as i prolly have about 2 GB of worthless packages installed ;)
[03:58] <zach382> Hello.  Can anyone link me to a guide that tells me how to install the nvidia binary drivers from the nvidia website in ubuntu gutsy? Ive been googling but cant come up with anything.
[03:58] <majyk> I mean is it really too much to ask to have the latest Firefox? Sure I could download a binary
[03:58] <darkentity> go the manufucatures website neil
[03:58] <buttercups> !ati | LtEmerpo1
[03:58] <ubotu> LtEmerpo1: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:58] <neilthereildeil> do they have linux drivers there?
[03:58] <Pici> majyk: I'm sure theres a reason why.
[03:58] <kalpik> majyk, add the swiftfox repo..
[03:58] <phoenix_> whoa
[03:58] <phoenix_> seriously
[03:58] <majyk> the Ubuntu devs stick to this 6 month cycle like nazi's
[03:58] <phoenix_> WAY too many topics
[03:58] <phoenix_> haha
[03:58] <LtEmerpo1> okay.. how about my sound blaster card..
[03:59] <phoenix_> *trots back to efnet*
[03:59] <darkentity> how do u do that trick when u wanna answer someone back in this chatroom and the color turns red for them
[03:59] <kitche> hmm odd how my user can't start another X session
[03:59] <Pici> !language | majyk
[03:59] <ubotu> majyk: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[03:59] <kriel> majyk: do you want it to work, or do you want it to be up-to-date? usually the more up to date you are, the more likely things are to break.
[03:59] <wastrel> it is too much to ask to have the latest firefox.  especially because it's so easy to install it yourself
[03:59] <infinitycircuit> majyk, dapper was released two months late for a reason
[03:59] <Reng> what is a good program to convert mkv files to avi?
[03:59] <ADemiG0D> so i install ubuntu on an external HD, now i cant get Non-linux computers to boot to ubuntu from the external Drive
[03:59] <kalpik> darkentity, prefix their name :)
[03:59] <majyk> ubotu, I am thanks
[03:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i am thanks - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:59] <darkentity> lol thanks kalpik
[03:59] <Pici> majyk: If you dont have any support questions and just want to complain, you are free to leave at any time.
[03:59] <darkentity> kalpik: does this work?
[03:59] <fsufitch> ephemient: so, now i know what to do... it's going to be painful formatting that partition though... so many memories XD
[03:59] <mssever> ivx: Dunno. I don't know if it's an issue with Nautilus (the file manager) or something at a lower level. You can use cp source/file destination to copy files from the command line and mv source dest to move or rename them
[03:59] <kalpik> darkentity, yes, it does!
[04:00] <darkentity> kalpik: awesommme
[04:00] <infinitycircuit> majyk, it makes no sense to ask for the newest firefox when the devs already patch firefox
[04:00] <atlfalcons866> is it possible to dual boot windoze vista and ubuntu
[04:00] <Pici> majyk: We don't need that kind of attitude here.
[04:00] <majyk> Pici, I'm not complaining
[04:00] <darkentity> kalpik: ur the man i love u!
[04:00] <mssever> ivx: Without trying it from the command line, I don't know how to diagnose your problem
[04:00] <atlfalcons866> or is microsoft have properity stuff
[04:00] <Pici> !dualboot | atlfalcons866
[04:00] <ephemient> fsufitch: my G4 Powerbook used to run Gentoo.  it overheated and the hard disk crashed.  how's that for memories?  :)
[04:00] <ubotu> atlfalcons866: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[04:00] <majyk> Pici, I don't have an attitude
[04:00] <kalpik> atlfalcons866, yes you can
[04:01] <fsufitch> ephemient: oooooh; that's a success story of gentoo -> ubuntu ;). actually i've been considering getting gentoo for my computer, but i just like apt so much i don't think i'll do it
[04:01] <majyk> if 2.0.0.8 is patched with all the crap in 2.0.0.9 then why doesn't Ubuntu roll out 2.0.0.9 rather than 2.0.0.8 ?
[04:01] <ephemient> fsufitch: I still run Gentoo on my (more powerful and better-ventilated) desktop
[04:01] <wastrel> majyk: it was released less than a month ago.  it's probably in the backports queue.
[04:01] <fsufitch> ephemient: so i'll be doing the backing up and reinstallation of everything some other time, like tomorrow
[04:01] <kalpik> majyk, maybe cause the problems fixed in 2.0.0.9 do not apply to Ubuntu?
[04:02] <Pici> majyk: I'd tell you, but our issue/package tracking system (Launchpad) is currently down for planned maintenance.
[04:02] <orion2> Does anyone know how to change the default port on ssh to something else?
[04:02] <fsufitch> ephemient: right now both of my parents are telling me to get some sleep; i guess i'll listen to them
[04:02] <ephemient> orion2: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change Listen
[04:02] <whisperkiller> can someone tell me how to cd to Desktop?
[04:02] <kriel> im actually in the process of dualbooting gentoo and ubuntu... strange. which is why im trying to figure out if my clock is local or gmt'd...
[04:02] <bruenig> whisperkiller, cd Desktop
[04:02] <kriel> whisperkiller: cd ~\Desktop
[04:02] <fsufitch> ephemient: and i'll consider gentoo for my desktop pc, which btw has issues with wireless (as all linux comps do)
[04:02] <foso> mssever, (or anyone) any other ideas on how to change the bg color of the splash screen from pink?
[04:02] <bruenig> kriel, / not \
[04:02] <kalpik> whisperkiller, open terminal and do "cd ~/Desktop"
[04:02] <fsufitch> i may be in here some other time asking for hekp with that
[04:02] <ephemient> kriel: Windows *always* makes the hardware clock local time, never GMT
[04:03] <whisperkiller> i got it
[04:03] <neiljmorrow> hi all
[04:03] <kriel> ephemient: ... gentoo isn't windows, last i checked.
[04:03] <whisperkiller> bruenig: thanks
[04:03] <ephemient> kriel: oooh, I can't read
[04:03] <ephemient> kriel: well, then it's whatever you set it up to be, then
[04:03] <fsufitch> good night, all
[04:03] <Hatty> Does anyone know why the Canada apt repo is down/how to switch to another repo
[04:03] <kriel> ephemient: cept i cant remember. x.x; i dont even remember it asking.
[04:03] <kalpik> Hatty, system -> admin -> software sources
[04:03] <bruenig> Hatty, edit /etc/apt/sources.list, change ca to uk or us or de or whatever country you want
[04:03] <majyk> Pici, I see most people see my words as a complaint which tells me that I am not the only one to mention this
[04:04] <majyk> seems the version numbering is confusing
[04:04] <ephemient> kriel: /etc/conf.d/clock in Gentoo
[04:04] <kriel> and im trying to chroot into it from the gentoo install disk... erf. i think this is getting to convoluted for my skill level.
[04:04] <wastrel> the firefox version numbering?
[04:04] <majyk> why does Ubuntu patch their FIrefox differently than the official release
[04:04] <mssever> foso: I think that my solution didn't work for you. By the way, have you set the proper background color in the desktop config? Even if you have a wallpaper, the color might show through sometimes. Just a stab in the dark
[04:04] <Hatty> kalpik: bruenig: Cheers
[04:04] <majyk> seems like wasted effort really
[04:04] <ephemient> kriel: or /etc/rc.conf if it's really old Gentoo
[04:04] <kriel> ephemient: ubuntu is already set up, and im trying to configure gentoo to match.
[04:04] <bruenig> majyk, because the original firefox has problems, all distros do it
[04:04] <Pici> majyk: I dont know right now.  I can't access the information.  But I'm sure that theres a logical reason why.
[04:05] <ephemient> kriel: oh.  hmm... I dunno where that setting is on Ubuntu
[04:05] <mssever> majyk: Because open source often does things like that
[04:05] <ephemient> majyk: Ubuntu's Firefox has much better Gnome integration
[04:05] <bruenig> ephemient, not true
[04:05] <kriel> ephemient: buried in the deep, dark corners of /etc i'm guessing.
[04:05] <orion2> ephemient: what would be a good port number to change it to?
[04:05] <majyk> fair enough
[04:05] <ephemient> majyk: as well as being able to globally install extensions from Ubuntu's repositories
[04:05] <ephemient> orion2: why do you need to change the port number?
[04:06] <bruenig> from what I have seen on other distros, most of the patches deal with pango
[04:06] <orion2> ephemient: my computer keeps getting hitt by bots
[04:06] <bruenig> and text rendering in general
[04:06] <majyk> just seems like a confusion on version numbers then
[04:06] <Pici> majyk: If you want to look yourself in a bit, you can look at the firefox package's bug reports on bugs.ubuntu.com, but its scheduled to be down for right now.
[04:06] <foso> mssever, thanks for your help anyway, i do have it set as black under background color
[04:06] <mssever> orion2: some high port number isn't likely to conflict with anything
[04:06] <danforth> why do my cd burning apps shut down while converting mp3's to audio cd format????
[04:06] <majyk> what does a normal person see? They see Firefox being at 2.0.0.9 and Ubuntu being at 2.0.0.8 and they say why does Ubuntu lag behind?
[04:06] <ephemient> orion2: you can run fail2ban or something
[04:06] <bruenig> majyk, ubuntu always lags behind
[04:07] <ephemient> majyk: ... what "normal person" looks at version numbers like that?
[04:07] <orion2> msserver: something like 64644?
[04:07] <scguy318> majyk: because Ubuntu repos strive for version freezes
[04:07] <orion2> ephemient: is fail2ban easy to set up?
[04:07] <mssever> orion2: sure. Probably will work
[04:07] <Pici> scguy318: 2.0.0.9 was a security update.
[04:07] <majyk> ephemient, this normal person does
[04:07] <orion2> msserver: you think i should set up Fail2ban or just change to port?
[04:07] <majyk> it's not that hard
[04:07] <scguy318> Pici: ah
[04:07] <majyk> haha
[04:07] <ephemient> orion2: either way is okay
[04:08] <francesco> hello guys... i've a problem with my gutsy... its a wireless problem
[04:08] <ephemient> orion2: personally, I just leave the port unchanged but disable password logins
[04:08] <mssever> orion2: I've never heard of Fail2ban so I don't know
[04:08] <scguy318> francesco: shoot
[04:08] <bruenig> majyk, software rarely is updated except every 6 months
[04:08] <ephemient> orion2: that way only me, with my ssh key, can log in
[04:08] <Pici> bruenig: This was a security update.
[04:08] <francesco> ok thx
[04:08] <mssever> orion2: I likewise disable password logins; I don't care how many bots hit me; they can't get in
[04:08] <majyk> bruenig, yes I know and that is my biggest problem with Ubuntu.. I'm trying to get over it but it's difficult
[04:08] <francesco> i use wireless to connect to my home wlan
[04:08] <ephemient> orion2: fail2ban trawls the ssh logs and adds iptables rules to ban repeat offenders
[04:08] <Pici> majyk: Security updates almost always get through, I'm sure theres a logical reason why this didn't.
[04:08] <majyk> Linux doesn't live in a 6 month vacuum
[04:08] <ephemient> orion2: there's other software that does the same thing
[04:09] <ADemiG0D> i cant seem to find the article to properly install ubuntu on an external HD can anyone help
[04:09] <ephemient> majyk: but distros do
[04:09] <bruenig> majyk, don't get over it, change distros
[04:09] <scguy318> majyk: if you want the bleeding latest, use a different distro
[04:09] <francesco> but when i connect all the programs slow down alot
[04:09]  * Pici facepalms
[04:09] <foso> does compizfusion have the cool thing like in mac os that shows all windows?
[04:09] <kriel> Oh. Duh. x.x; I set my UTC to my local time.... argh. /me facepalms
[04:09] <foso> i dont know what its called
[04:09] <bruenig> majyk, that is why many distros exist. No reason to stick with one that you fundamentally dislike
[04:09] <francesco> but the interesting thing is:
[04:09] <orion2> msserver: i just changed the default port number and it let me ssh into my computer still using port 22. I also did this sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[04:09] <ephemient> foso: yes, I think it's bound to alt-shift-up by default?
[04:09] <ADemiG0D> i cant seem to find the article to properly install ubuntu on an external HD can anyone help
[04:09] <kitche> foso: it has a expose plugin might have to install it though
[04:09] <orion2> msserver: do you know why?
[04:09] <francesco> if i connect to other wlans the problem dont happen
[04:09] <infinitycircuit> ADemiG0D, it shouldn't really be any different.  what is your trouble
[04:09] <majyk> I've used plenty of distro's for the last 10 years and none suit my needs
[04:10] <foso> ephemient thanks, thats it :)
[04:10] <majyk> software doesn't live in a 6 month vacumme
[04:10] <ADemiG0D> I did the install, but i cant boot to the external
[04:10] <ADemiG0D> i wanna know how to properly format the external
[04:10] <bruenig> majyk, what are you looking for
[04:10] <scguy318> francesco: what chipset?
[04:10] <majyk> something like Gentoo but binary package based
[04:10] <orion2> msserver: this is the line of code that i changed is this correct?
[04:10] <orion2> #   Port 64646
[04:10] <majyk> Ubuntu that revolves
[04:10] <darkmatter> arch
[04:10] <bruenig> majyk, arch
[04:10] <wastrel> debian testing/sid
[04:10] <Pici> majyk: At this point the subeject is offtopic, please move to #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[04:10] <mssever> orion2: Apparently you didn't change it the way ssh-server wanted. I've never tried to change the ports myself, so all I can recoment is reading the man page for the config file
[04:10] <bruenig> that is basically the definition of arch
[04:10] <francesco> hmm.. intel pro wireless... the pc's an asus a6jm
[04:10] <ephemient> majyk: Gentoo is only up to date when developers update the packages in its repository
[04:10] <bruenig> revolving binary distro
[04:10] <ephemient> majyk: same as in every distro
[04:10] <majyk> Pici, I am not going to continue this
[04:10] <scguy318> francesco: and what do you mean slow down?
[04:11] <Pici> majyk: okay :)
[04:11] <francesco> well, it takes about 10 seconds to open the shell or gedit
[04:11] <Pici> ADemiG0D: Does your computer support booting from USB? Which I assume the drive is?
[04:11] <ephemient> majyk: just that the Gentoo developers don't have to do as much work to bump the package versions :)
[04:11] <mssever> orion2: You have to uncomment it for it to work
[04:11] <orion2> ah
[04:11] <ADemiG0D> it should, its a new dell
[04:11] <francesco> while some programs like calculator or system monitor run normally
[04:11] <scguy318> francesco: if you run top, any particular process hoarding CPU time or the like?
[04:11] <EdwardXP> does anyone know i can get ubuntu on a 1GB flash-disk
[04:11] <francesco> no :(
[04:11] <majyk> Pici, the point is I like Ubuntu, I just don't agree with the 6 month release cycle, I think it's really outdated
[04:12] <darkmatter> majyk: arch is a rolling release derived from slackware. rolling release means that the packages are always "bleeding edge"
[04:12] <EdwardXP> thats' bootable of course
[04:12] <majyk> arch is derived from Crux
[04:12] <orion2> msserver: i uncommented it and restarted ssh and it is still letting me connect :( ?
[04:12] <mssever> majyk: Maybe you'd prefer debian unstable?
[04:12] <francesco> moreover, if i diconnect all returns "normal"
[04:12] <bruenig> darkmatter, crux but yeah
[04:12] <kriel> EdwardXP: you're missing a word. 'if i can get'... 'how i can get'... 'why i can get...'
[04:12] <darkmatter> majyk. and crux is slack. whats your point? :)
[04:13] <mssever> orion2: Can you connect on the new port?
[04:13] <bruenig> majyk, everything you describe is arch so I don't know what you are waiting for exactly.
[04:13] <francesco> -but i must tell, now im not connected with my wlan -im with another
[04:13] <scguy318> francesco: hmm, I guess if you think the native Intel wireless module is the issue, you could try utilizing ndiswrapper
[04:13] <majyk> darkmatter, crux is not derived from slacware
[04:13] <scguy318> francesco: or could be a transient issue
[04:13] <majyk> slackware
[04:13] <EdwardXP> kriel,  how can i get ubuntu on a flash drive thats' bootable
[04:13] <majyk> I've used it for a long time

[04:14] <orion2> msserver: no it doesnt let me connect on the new port
[04:14] <francesco> scguy318: hmm.. i don know... if the issue is the diriver i think the problem shoul happen with all wlans
[04:14] <bruenig> majyk, don't complain about ubuntu when the distro you claim to want is out there
[04:14] <mssever> orion2: So the port difinitely didn't get changed

[04:14] <hahafaha> hi everybody! I have an external hard disk with ~100GB of data formatted with NTFS. I was writing stuff to it when the write operation was interrupted, and now any attempt to write to it (including rm) results in an I/O error
[04:14] <hahafaha> what should I do?
[04:14] <bruenig> Pici, k
[04:15] <majyk> I could just download a tarball of a precompiled firefox
[04:15] <francesco> scguy318: anyway.. how can I install ndiswraper?
[04:15] <mssever> orion2: one minute while I look through my config

[04:16] <scguy318> hahafaha: chkdsk your NTFS partition
[04:16] <francesco> scguy318: ok thx, il try this... bye for now .D

[04:17] <hahafaha> ephemient: and fdisk f: under Windows returned something along the lines of ``encountered error, fixing''
[04:17] <wastrel> kriel: try  sudo /etc/init.d/ntp start
[04:17] <scguy318> hahafaha: why fdisk?
[04:18] <RebelX> how do i turn on my compiz-fusion feature?
[04:18] <hahafaha> scguy318: I mean chkdsk, not fdisk
[04:18] <RebelX> if it helps im running ver 7.10
[04:18] <scguy318> hahafaha: my apologies
[04:18] <ephemient> hahafaha: after Windows fixed it, did it work again under Linux?
[04:18] <majyk> so if a package like Glade 3 has bugs will that be patched in this release?
[04:18] <hahafaha> ephemient: no, it did not. I did not get the feeling like it fixed it, really
[04:18] <majyk> it's not a security bug, but it's a show stopper
[04:19] <mssever> orion2: Have you read man sshd_config? You might want to try the ListenAddress directive instead of the Port directive
[04:19] <kriel> wastrel: thanks. (ntp's not installed, btw)
[04:19] <ephemient> hahafaha: the ntfsprogs package contains a tool called "ntfsfix"
[04:19] <scguy318> hahafaha: you did specify the /f option for chkdsk? just checking :P
[04:19] <atlfalcons866> what else is wrong with vista
[04:20] <orion2> msserver: do you know where the config file for that is?
[04:20] <majyk> I understand security bugs will be patched in Ubuntu, I just want to know if regular bugs will be patched
[04:20] <RebelX> yes majyk im pretty sure they will
[04:20] <Bruno_> sound juicer doesnt recognize -up
[04:20] <orion2> msserver: what we changed is what someone else said to do on a website i looked at
[04:20] <Silouck> can anyone tell me the url to see the kubuntu patches?
[04:20] <majyk> RebelX, that's good news
[04:20] <jakelfenix> hello
[04:21] <jakelfenix> some know how do a bootstrapping of fedora 8?
[04:21] <ephemient> orion2: you are editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config, right?
[04:21] <RebelX> lol im still looking for a reply on how to turn on my compiz-fusion feature
[04:21] <jakelfenix> with a chroot?
[04:21] <Silouck> where can i see the kubuntu sources=?
[04:21] <mssever> orion2: Oh, I see your problem!
[04:21] <orion2> ephnemient: yes
[04:21] <caustic> try goin into your alt f2 and type compiz --replace
[04:21] <mssever> orion2: You've been editing ssh's config, not sshd's config
[04:21] <ephemient> RebelX: if you are running 7.10, compiz is automatically enabled if your graphics card is known to run it
[04:21] <caustic> anywho, I have my problem still. just upgraded to 7.10 and no sound.
[04:21] <RebelX> how do i make it run then?
[04:22] <ephemient> orion2: ssh*d*_config, not ssh_config
[04:22] <orion2> msserver: ahh damn tab completions tricked me lol
[04:22] <orion2> i see
[04:22] <orion2> thanks sorry dumb me
[04:22] <caustic> can anyone help?
[04:22] <Bruno_> sound juicer doesnt recognize the artist or song name. Is there any other program i can use that will recognize the names?
[04:22] <peterbilt> RebelX: in System > Preferences > Appearance , choose 'visual effects tab options.
[04:22] <hahafaha> ephemient: what is the proper way to use ntfsfix?
[04:22] <RebelX> thx peterbilt
[04:22] <caustic> anyone?
[04:22] <ephemient> hahafaha: run it on the device, then run chkdisk from Windows
[04:22] <peterbilt> RebelX welcome
[04:22] <AdemoS> have a good night all
[04:23] <hahafaha> ephemient: thanks, will try
[04:23] <ephemient> caustic: did the sound documentation not help?  what's still wrong?
[04:23] <caustic> I tried it, still nothing.

[04:24] <httpdss> people Hi, im having problems trying to make snippetsEmu to work ... i created the after/ftplugin directory, opened the snippetEmu.vba and executed :so % .... then opened a python file, tried to make it work with tab, but it didnt, can anyone give me a hand to make this work ?
[04:24] <ephemient> Silouck: http://launchpad.com/ is currently down for maintainance
[04:24] <RebelX> now umm how the hell do i make the desktop switcher like the ones in the youtube linux vids?
[04:24] <pr0gr4mm3r> caustic, do you hear the "ready" sound when the login screen appears?
[04:24] <Bruno_> sound juicer doesnt recognize the artist or song name. Is there any other program i can use that will recognize the names?
[04:24] <caustic> Nope.

[04:24] <caustic> programmer: nope; nothing.
[04:24] <RebelX> what scguy318?
[04:25] <scguy318> RebelX: you'll need to install that to configure Compiz

[04:25] <ephemient> RebelX: no, apt-get install ccsm (no !)
[04:25] <pr0gr4mm3r> I lost sound when I upgraded to 7.04.  It was a problem with a config file in my home folder.  Creating a new, fresh account and logging into that would tell you if it was a global or user-level issue
[04:25] <Silouck> ephemient: i would like to for example see the kdebase patches, where can i see it?
[04:25] <scguy318> ephemient: ccsm is not a package in the repos
[04:25] <ephemient> yeah, oops
[04:25] <smmagic> Anyone know how I can check the name of this partition?
[04:26] <ephemient> my bad
[04:26] <julio3patas> does klik work with ubuntu?
[04:26] <scguy318> ephemient: np

[04:26] <majyk> what demographic is Ubuntu targeting with a 6 month out of date release cycle?
[04:26] <ephemient> Silouck: apt-get source kdebase will download the orig and the debian patches
[04:26] <majyk> just curious
[04:26] <Silouck> ephemient: im not in kubuntu ATM
[04:26] <ephemient> Silouck: usually you can find the patches easier on launchpad but it's down temporarily
[04:26] <RebelX> OK its downloaded... NOW WHAT?
[04:27] <Bruno_> sound juicer doesnt recognize the artist or song name. Is there any other program i can use that will recognize the names?
[04:27] <markybob> majyk out of date?  what company does more than a 6 month release?  microsoft 5-6yrs.  apple 9-15 months.
[04:27] <ephemient> RebelX: now you have an extra option in System > Preferences > Appearance
[04:27] <Silouck> RebelX: whats downloaded?
[04:27] <caustic> ephemerent: it's empty
[04:27] <scguy318> Silouck: ccsm
[04:27] <RebelX> o ok
[04:27] <atlfalcons866> am i safe from microsoft because linux is violating there patents
[04:27] <Silouck> ephemient: yes?
[04:27] <scguy318> atlfalcons866: that's not true, just Microsoft FUD
[04:27] <majyk> markybob, good point
[04:27] <majyk> but linux is different
[04:27] <scguy318> atlfalcons866: and Microsoft has yet to say WHAT patents ;)
[04:27] <atlfalcons866> FUD?
[04:27] <scguy318> atlfalcons866: Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt
[04:28] <markybob> majyk which is why you have 6 months.  no other linux distribution does shorter, either.
[04:28] <Silouck> ephemient: so?
[04:28] <atlfalcons866> ok thanks =)
[04:28] <RebelX> ok i clicked desktop cube... umm how do i make sure its working

[04:29] <majyk> exactly
[04:29] <ephemient> Bruno_: if your cd is not found in (free)cddb, none of the programs will get names from it
[04:29] <kitche> majyk: which is offtopic anyways
[04:29] <ephemient> caustic: do you know what your sound card is and which driver should be driving it?
[04:29] <Bruno_> ephemient: what is cddb?
[04:30] <majyk> true
[04:30] <caustic> ephemiment: don't know the driver, but SB450 HDA
[04:30] <ephemient> Bruno_: a database of CD information
[04:30] <kitche> Why does ubuntu have a package for dwm since it's not meant to be packaged really
[04:30] <joseph_> hllo
[04:30] <joseph_> hello
[04:30] <Bruno_> ephemient: how do i know if its there or not?
[04:30] <KI4IKL> For some reason, my power management wont show my battery power that I have left, does anyone have any ideas?
[04:30] <TetsuoShimaPMFE> Hello
[04:30] <ephemient> kitche: you can "apt-get source" it, modify it, "dpkg-buildpackage" it, and install it
[04:30] <joseph_> some know how do a bootstrapping of a fedora system? in ubuntu
[04:31] <ephemient> kitche: packaging still is convenient
[04:31] <kitche> ephemient: umm I'd rather download it from suckless.org myself since the one in ubuntu is broke with my config anyways
[04:31] <ephemient> kitche: did you miss my "modify it" step?
[04:31] <caustic> ephiemient: where could I find out what driver should be running it
[04:31] <KI4IKL> !power
[04:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about power - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:31] <ephemient> kitche: having it integrated with the package management system is just convenient
[04:31] <ephemient> caustic: google?
[04:31] <KI4IKL> !powermanagement
[04:31] <kitche> ephemient: umm no the newer configs don't work with older dwm's
[04:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about powermanagement - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:32] <trwww> I have all "Put Computer to Sleep" settings set to "Never" at "System -> Preferences -> Power Management", yet the monitor goes blank and some ssh connections disconnect after not touching the keyboard for ~10 mins.
[04:32] <trwww> Will someone tell me where I can configure whats doing this? Thanks!
[04:32] <caustic> ephemient: All i get is forums with code
[04:32] <Bruno_> ephemient: how do i know if its there or not?
[04:32] <ephemient> Bruno_: since Sound Juicer doesn't find it, it apparently isn't there
[04:32] <kitche> ephemient: so modifing won't work
[04:32] <TetsuoShimaPMFE> I'm somewhat of a noob, and I'm having a bit of a problem sharing files between Ubuntu and Windows.  I've got Samba set up and I can see the directory I'm sharing from my linux box, but it prompts for a username/password and the one I've got configured for that directory isn't working.  Am I doing something horribly wrong?
[04:32] <MdL054> did mwilliam go to bed?
[04:32] <Bruno_> ephemient: ok thanks
[04:32] <ephemient> kitche: ... there's nothing stopping you from updating the version as part of "modifying"...
[04:33] <kitche> ephemient: sure there is I don't do debian packages :)
[04:33] <Silouck> ephemient: so you dont know where i can see the kdebase kubuntu sources like patches?
[04:33] <ephemient> Silouck: like I said, https://launchpad.net/

[04:34] <KI4IKL> When I run the command acpi -s it says that I have no battery in my batter slot, and I know for a fact I do. Anyone have any ideas why my acpi power management isn't working? It's worked before!
[04:34] <VulcanRidr> kitche: What do you use now?
[04:34] <Pici> Silouck: try packages.ubuntu.com too
[04:34] <Silouck> Pici: thanks
[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Silouck: You would have better luck in #Kubuntu
[04:34] <kitche> VulcanRidr: nothing I used to use it when I worked on SourceMage
[04:35] <Silouck> Pici: thats what i was talking all a long
[04:35] <ephemient> Silouck: that's exactly what apt-get will give you... still, yeah, I forgot about that
[04:36] <Silouck> ephemient: but i said im not using kubuntu aTM
[04:36] <VulcanRidr> kitche: Okay, quick and easy question. I am putting all my docs under source control...Using git. I want to only check out certain directories to my laptop. Can I do that if my docs directory on my workstation is one large repo?
[04:36] <ephemient> Silouck: doesn't matter, as long as you're on a system with apt/dpkg
[04:36] <dissection> ;]
[04:36] <Silouck> ephemient: im not
[04:36] <ephemient> Silouck: fix that, then ;)
[04:37] <kitche> VulcanRidr: let me check real quick git has changed sicne the last tiem I used it
[04:37] <ephemient> caustic: sorry for going off on a tangent for a while... HDA sound devices seem to be kinda difficult in general
[04:37] <VulcanRidr> k
[04:37] <caustic> ephiment dammit, any suggestion at all?
[04:37] <Silouck> ephemient: thats why i asked for an url
[04:39] <kitche> VulcanRidr: man git-checkout is probably what you want
[04:39] <ephemient> caustic: so what was the vendor:subsystem of your card again?
[04:39] <simplechat> hey, quick question, does rsync need to be root in order to do a full copy
[04:39] <simplechat> ?
[04:39] <kitche> VulcanRidr: sicne I know git-clone does the whole repo which is not what you said
[04:39] <kitche> simplechat: full copy of what?
[04:39] <KI4IKL> When I run the command acpi -s it says that I have no battery in my batter slot, and I know for a fact I do. Anyone have any ideas why my acpi power management isn't working? It's worked before!
[04:39] <caustic> ephemient: ATI  SB 450 HDA audio
[04:39] <ephemient> simplechat: to preserve uid/gid, yes; in general, no

[04:40] <VulcanRidr> q_a_z_steve: I can try...
[04:40] <simplechat> ephemient, ok.
[04:40] <threefcata> can anybody help me?
[04:40] <linux88> THREEFCATE WITH

[04:41] <kitche> simplechat: umm on ubuntu I don't think so since users can see other users /home
[04:41] <bluefox83> threefcata, not till you tell us what your problem is...
[04:41] <bazhang> threefcata: what's your question?
[04:41] <linux88> threefcata with?
[04:41] <Jack_Sparrow> trwww: what about the power mgmnt tab
[04:41] <ephemient> caustic: I remember seeing a page about certain HDA devices that needed modified/updated ALSA drivers, but I can't find that right now...
[04:41] <threefcata> thx, i just upgraded to gutsy, but my trackpoint doesn't scroll but i did exactly the same configuration as i did in 7.04
[04:41] <VulcanRidr> q_a_z_steve: What are you trying to do with pidgin?
[04:41] <caustic> ephemient: crap... I didn't have this big of a problem before.
[04:41] <simplechat> kitche, ok, i'm rerunning it as root. also, it should copy over all the . files?
[04:42] <ephemient> caustic: is this something that broke recently?
[04:42] <kitche> simplechat: it might I m not sure about that
[04:42] <trwww> Jack_Sparrow: (11:32:05 PM) trwww: I have all "Put Computer to Sleep" settings set to "Never" at "System -> Preferences -> Power Management", yet the monitor goes blank and some ssh connections disconnect after not touching the keyboard for ~10 mins.
[04:42] <q_a_z_steve> VulcanRidr, http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?answer=49147 Isn't helping. Whenever I click on the account is says "Connection Error MYADDRESS@gmail.com/Home disconnected Server requires TLS/SSL for login. No TLS/SSL Support found." So then I try all the options in Advanced, to turn on this or that, and it doesn't connect to googletalk
[04:42] <bazhang> threefcata: that on a thinkpad?
[04:42] <threefcata> ehh not exactly the same but almost the same, you know, those lines in xorg.conf
[04:42] <caustic> ephiemient: no, I upgraded to 7.10, thas it.
[04:42] <threefcata> yes X31
[04:42] <ephemient> caustic: it worked before 7.10?
[04:42] <bazhang> threefcata: have you seen think wiki?
[04:42] <Jack_Sparrow> trwww: what about the bios settings for power mgmnt
[04:42] <caustic> ephemient: yeah.
[04:43] <ephemient> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller ?
[04:43] <q_a_z_steve> VulcanRidr, I built 2.2.2 for dapper since I couldn't find a repos, nor a .deb even though some say it was/is on getdeb.net .
[04:44] <caustic> ephemient: that
[04:44] <caustic> 's the weird part.
[04:45] <kitche> VulcanRidr: are you using http checkout or ssh? sicne I know how to sort of setup git for ssh access
[04:45] <ephemient> caustic: does the PCI ID of your card match that of any of the ones on that page?
[04:46] <VulcanRidr> kitche: I was trying to...
[04:46] <caustic> ephemient: Nope :(
[04:46] <trwww> Jack_Sparrow: googling ubuntu bios power management yeilds http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=193838 which says the same thing (chek bios settings).
[04:46] <trwww> I have to reboot, right? brb...
[04:46] <kitche> VulcanRidr: http://eagain.net/blog/2007/03/22/howto-host-git.html seems to be a good guide for debian systems
[04:47] <q_a_z_steve> VulcanRidr, ephemient, do I have SSL Support in dapper???
[04:48] <jojobeans> howdy
[04:48] <VulcanRidr> q_a_z_steve: specifically under pidgin? Did you compile the option in?
[04:48] <q_a_z_steve> VulcanRidr, probably not, was unaware.
[04:49] <q_a_z_steve> I had to pull things like libxml-perl and things to even compile, never opted for ssl
[04:49] <VulcanRidr> Thanks for the link, kitche...Looking now.
[04:49] <MdL054> When I boot off the ubuntu install CD, it boots to Command Line (initrmfs). Anyone have any idea what that means now?
[04:49] <ephemient> caustic: looking it up... your sound card is driven by the same module
[04:49] <q_a_z_steve> VulcanRidr, I don't know why I have to use SSL anyway, that page doesn't say anything about it at all
[04:49] <ephemient> caustic: and it is true that the HDA part of ALSA is still in a bit of flux
[04:49] <Anthology> Hi, can someone refer me to a good data recovery program to recover an old ntfs partition?
[04:49] <caustic> ephemient It is? then what do I do?
[04:50] <VulcanRidr> q_a_z_steve: I didn't compile it, am using the one for gutsy from the repos.
[04:50] <scguy318> Anthology: testdisk
[04:50] <mohkohn> I have gutsy installed. It boots in single user mode but fails on "Loading acpi modules...
[04:50] <Anthology> thanks scguy318
[04:50] <mohkohn> How do I fix? or can I?
[04:50] <scguy318> mohkohn: try booting with acpi=off
[04:51] <cappiz> how do i make a deb from source? the source tree has a debian folder
[04:51] <ephemient> caustic: try updating ALSA; I'm looking for the best guide to doing so...
[04:51] <caustic> ephemient: thanks a ton.
[04:52] <mohkohn> will do. I just put that at the end  of  the grub menlu.list line? scguy318
[04:52] <JimmyTheNose> Is there any way to enable a restricted driver pre boot on a live cd/dvd? because if i try to enable a restricted driver using the restricted driver manager it tells me a reboot is necessary, which kind of sucks with a live cd ;)
[04:52] <scguy318> mohkohn: yeah
[04:52] <ephemient> caustic: of the suggestions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller, probably Method G is the easiest to try out first
[04:52] <mohkohn> ok will give it a go.
[04:52] <mohkohn> thanks
[04:52] <kitche> JimmyTheNose: all you have to do is restart X really
[04:52] <q_a_z_steve> VulcanRidr, do you think there is a dapper repos which would have done this for me??? I don't need version 2.2.2.
[04:53] <JimmyTheNose> hmm, tried that several times, the 'in use' checkbox was actually never ticked ...
[04:54] <fxfitz> Is there a way to make my ubuntu installation primarily spanish??
[04:54] <VulcanRidr> q_a_z_steve: Why do you specifically want to run pidgin rather than gaim?
[04:54] <q_a_z_steve> does gaim do jabber?
[04:55] <somerville32> q_a_z_steve, yes
[04:55] <ephemient> fxfitz: System > Administration > Language Support
[04:55] <caustic> brb
[04:55] <fxfitz> ephemient, I have changed it, but I see no spanish! :-P
[04:55] <ephemient> fxfitz: did you reboot?
[04:56] <q_a_z_steve> somerville32, that's the protocol for googletalk, right?
[04:56] <fxfitz> ephemient, Err. Hmm. Lets try that.
[04:56] <somerville32> q_a_z_steve, yup
[04:56] <navetz> how do i resize my partition?
[04:56] <q_a_z_steve> somerville32, VulcanRidr this says I want to use TLS if available and Require TLS :@
[04:56] <VulcanRidr> q_a_z_steve: Pidgin is gaim relabelled.
[04:57] <fxfitz> ephemient, Any idea what the difference between a check and a dash is in the Language Support window?
[04:57] <nephlim> hey gang
[04:57] <wol1> hi all, 1st time here
[04:57] <q_a_z_steve> VulcanRidr, so then why isn't pidgin working, is it because I didn't compile in? How to:...
[04:57] <ephemient> fxfitz: a dash probably means partial support
[04:57] <bazhang> hi wol1
[04:58] <wol1> Is there anyone who can answer an apt repo question?
[04:58] <wol1> hi!
[04:58] <somerville32> q_a_z_steve, Why did you compile it yourself?
[04:58] <somerville32> !ask | wol1
[04:58] <ubotu> wol1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:58] <ephemient> wol1: on IRC, don't ask "can I ask a question", just ask
[04:58] <ephemient> ah
[04:58] <nephlim> wol1, what's the question? :)
[04:58] <ephemient> heh
[04:58] <bazhang> wol1: likely yes
[04:58] <VulcanRidr> q_a_z_steve: Possibly. Did you do a ./configure --help? Is there an ssl option?
[04:58] <q_a_z_steve> somerville32, dapper has no repos, that I could find.
[04:58] <q_a_z_steve> VulcanRidr, is there a clean way of 'sudo make uninstall' if I get there?
[04:59] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, did you try installing pidgin from apt-get?
[04:59] <wol1> I'm trying to upgrade from Dapper to Edgy (yeah, can't wait for 2008).  As of _right now_, ca.archive... is not up.
[04:59] <wol1> So, I edited my sources.list to remove the ca.
[04:59] <q_a_z_steve> nephlim, there's no repos for dapper that I can find
[04:59] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, "sudo apt-get install pidgin" minus the " "
[04:59] <wol1> after learning that all canadian mirrors are very slow
[04:59] <JordiGH> How's wengophone as a replacement for Skype? Love it, hate it?
[04:59] <VulcanRidr> q_a_z_steve: You should be able to install overtop of the existing one.
[04:59] <bazhang> wol1: have you heard of source o matic?
[05:00] <somerville32> !source
[05:00] <ubotu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[05:00] <q_a_z_steve> VulcanRidr, I'm talking if I do just use gaim
[05:00] <somerville32> erm
[05:00] <somerville32> !source-o-matic
[05:00] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[05:00] <q_a_z_steve> nephlim, what repos!!!
[05:00] <trwww> Jack_Sparrow: there is a power management section in the bios, but no option that says "Never Sleep" or anything like that.
[05:00] <trwww> The only thing I found was:
[05:00] <wol1> however, after all references for "ca.archive.ubuntu.com" has been changed to "archive.ubuntu.com", Synaptic and apt-get update STILL try to access it.  Can I make them totally forget about the existence of ca.archive.ubuntu.com?
[05:00] <ephemient> q_a_z_steve: I think we are all being confused by your usage of terminology here
[05:00] <trwww> "Serial  ATA DIPM"
[05:00] <ephemient> q_a_z_steve: of course Dapper has repositories: http://archive.ubuntu.com/archive/dists/dapper/
[05:00] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, i'm not sure, i have gutsy installed, and the apt-get worked for me
[05:01] <richardjc> hello
[05:01] <somerville32> richardjc, hi
[05:01] <ephemient> err, typo
[05:01] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, have you tried downloading the package directly from the ubuntu apt-get page?
[05:01] <richardjc> does anyone know where the java SDK directory is?
[05:01] <bazhang> wol1: try this: http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[05:01] <richardjc> i'm trying to install the WTK
[05:01] <trwww> "When enabled, the internal hard drive may initiate power management transition requests.
[05:01] <q_a_z_steve> ephemient, show me a repository which will allow me to install pidgin for dapper
[05:01] <wol1> so the question in short is: can i totally remove a repository, making all the apt applications forget it?
[05:01] <ephemient> q_a_z_steve: oh, that's what you mean
[05:01] <trwww> I have an E1505N Dellbuntu
[05:01] <ephemient> q_a_z_steve: pidgin is not available for Dapper
[05:01] <q_a_z_steve> nephlim, of what "page" do you speak?
[05:01] <ephemient> q_a_z_steve: Gaim is
[05:02] <somerville32> wol1, Yes. Remove the repository and type and reload
[05:02] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, one sec, i'll see if i can find it
[05:02] <somerville32> *and reload
[05:02] <bazhang> wol1: you can reconfigure your sources list at that link--worth a look imo
[05:02] <richardjc> anyone?
[05:02] <richardjc> help pls
[05:02] <wol1> "type and reload"?
[05:02] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, http://packages.ubuntu.com/

[05:03] <osmosis> I have so many wireless problems on gutsy. Even more then I used to have on fiesty.
[05:03] <richardjc> i need to know the directory of the SDK
[05:03] <bazhang> not in repos richardjc?
[05:03] <richardjc> what folder is it in?
[05:03] <wol1> my sources.list contains no reference at all to ca.archive.ubuntu.com, but the tools are still trying to access it.  Is there a reason?
[05:03] <richardjc> not in repos
[05:03] <somerville32> wol1, Did you reload?
[05:03] <somerville32> wol1, apt-get update
[05:03] <somerville32> wol1, Or click "reload"
[05:03] <richardjc> This application requires Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition (1.5 or later). Enter a path to a Java 2 SDK (For example: /user/jdk1.5/bin). You can type "exit" to cancel installation.
[05:03] <bazhang> wol1: source-o-matic will help you out--check the link
[05:03] <ephemient> wol1: yeah, apt-get update, also check if there's any /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
[05:03] <wol1> problem is, "sudo apt-get update" fails
[05:04] <somerville32> wol1, Because it is looking for ca.archive.ubuntu.com??

[05:05] <richardjc> help?
[05:05] <bazhang> wol1: please check that link
[05:05] <ephemient> wol1: you're sure all references to ca.archive.ubuntu.com have been edited out of /etc/apt/sources.list & sources.list.d/*.list ?
[05:05] <q_a_z_steve> nephlim, did you happen to search that page, there's no mention of the word dapper
[05:05] <scguy318> richardjc: the question?
[05:05] <wol1> thanks...what i don't understand is...ok i'm checking sources.list.d/*list now
[05:05] <scguy318> wol1: just change the mirror in Software Sources
[05:05] <somerville32> richardjc, See http://packages.ubuntu.com
[05:05] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, yes there is
[05:05] <richardjc> what folder is the JAVA SDK installed to??
[05:05] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, the frist like i sent, it's the frist flavour mentioned
[05:06] <somerville32> richardjc, Visit http://packages.ubuntu.com to find out :)
[05:06] <wol1> argh, so just removing from sources.list is not enough, i have to remove from sources.list.d/*list
[05:06] <ephemient> nephlim, q_a_z_steve: there is no Pidgin for Dapper.  not in -updates, not in -backports, etc.
[05:06] <q_a_z_steve> !tell nephlim
[05:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about  tell nephlim - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:06] <ephemient> wol1: yes, because /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list are merged into sources.list
[05:06] <scguy318> richardjc: lemme look
[05:07] <wol1> alright, thanks all!  I think i can manage it from now on.  you guys are very helpful.  I came from slackware since slack 3.5 and i *thought* i knew everything i needed, lol
[05:07] <bazhang> heh
[05:07] <somerville32> :)
[05:08] <MdSalih> Hello all
[05:08] <nephlim> sorry then, i thought there was
[05:08] <bazhang> hi MdSalih
[05:08] <nephlim> just trying to help
[05:08] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, what happens when you try to build via source?
[05:09] <q_a_z_steve> nephlim, I can build, now, but I'm looking through ./configure for ssl I guess.
[05:09] <MdSalih> I'm trying to get ubuntu (7.10) live disk running on my laptop... however when i select teh start/install book option... it does something.. then displays: 01428F00
[05:09] <MdSalih> boot*
[05:09] <MdSalih> any idea what that could mean?
[05:10] <bazhang> MdSalih: is there a disk check option?
[05:10] <MdSalih> yes running that now
[05:10] <scguy318> richardjc: hmm, Synaptic wasn't particularly insightful
[05:10] <scguy318> richardjc: it just pointed me to /usr/share/doc
[05:11] <q_a_z_steve> VulcanRidr, ephemient nephlim http://q_a_z_steve.pastebin.org/9285
[05:11] <eyemean> hello all,
[05:11] <bazhang> hi eyemean
[05:11] <q_a_z_steve> VulcanRidr, ephemient nephlim should I use something like that?
[05:11] <MdSalih> disk check does the same thing.. displays: 01428F00
[05:11] <nonewmsgs> i have just installed xp on pata disk 1, ubuntu on pata disk 2 and am using /home and general storage on sata disk 1.  grub is written to pata disk 1.  is there a way to move grub to the other disk or install it there
[05:12] <eyemean> has any1 notice how sometimes wen u delete large files, ubuntu 7.10 deletes them but doesnt actually free the space
[05:12] <pwn> Can wget download a file with multiple threads?
[05:12] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, i'm not sure. If it's configured wrong, you could always try it again right?
[05:12] <ephemient> pwn: see gnome-freeloader or aria2 packages
[05:12] <scguy318> eyemean: I haven't noticed
[05:13] <nephlim> just don't make install if it's borked
[05:13] <q_a_z_steve> nephlim, yeah, no problem, should I use one of those you think?
[05:13] <eyemean> ok, then i guess its just me, lol
[05:13] <ephemient> eyemean: if a file has link count greater than 1, deleting one link will free no space because it is still referenced by other links
[05:13] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, try it out and see, worst that can happen is that you delete every file on your computer and then it catches fire
[05:13] <scguy318> pwn: not really, doing socket I/O for a single file doesn't really require a thread
[05:13] <q_a_z_steve> nephlim, I actually compiled all this from /Desktop/pidgin... any harm in moving that folder?
[05:13] <eyemean> ephemient, no i delete the files directly
[05:14] <LtEmerpoc> sup again guy
[05:14] <LtEmerpoc> sup again guys&&
[05:14] <scguy318> hello
[05:14] <LtEmerpoc> back again lol
[05:14] <q_a_z_steve> nephlim, lol
[05:14] <LtEmerpoc> to annoy people with my silly noob questions
[05:14] <scguy318> there are no noob questions :)
[05:14] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, i usually make and cofig all that stuff in a /home/user folder
[05:14] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, like, /home/dan/pidgin
[05:14] <q_a_z_steve> nephlim, I didn't think of that at first
[05:15] <LtEmerpoc> so scguy you think you can answer my question
[05:15] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, but if you wanted to move the folder, i can't see a big deal. just move it before you make install
[05:15] <scguy318> LtEmerpoc: well shoot
[05:15] <pwn> scguy318: Thanks :)
[05:15] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, just wondering, why no upgrade to gutsy?
[05:15] <Cpudan80> Hello all
[05:16] <LtEmerpoc> help me fix my resolution back to 1280x1024
[05:16] <Cpudan80> I need some help with my fstab file -- currently I have a FAT32 partition mounted, but nobody (not even root) can write to the partition
[05:16] <scguy318> LtEmerpoc: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and tell me what your monitor is
[05:16] <Cpudan80> How can I change the fstab file so that at least root can write to the partition ?
[05:16] <q_a_z_steve> nephlim, older computer, want to install less, LTS is huge to me
[05:16] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, ahh
[05:16] <scguy318> Cpudan80: whats the fstab entry? you may want to stick like umask=000 for mount option
[05:16] <neil_d_> with an exe file how do I find out what .so files it linking with ?
[05:16] <mike_> hey dose any body have trouble unloading ipw3495
[05:17] <_nix_> Cpudan80: that partition is probably mounted read-only
[05:17] <Cpudan80> scguy318: UUID=0950-920C  /media/sdb4     vfat    defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[05:17] <q_a_z_steve> nephlim, sooner or later I'm probably going to refer people to my website who ask that, you're about the 50th...
[05:17] <bruenig> mike_, did you kill the daemon too or just unload the module?
[05:17] <scguy318> Cpudan80: change that umask=007 to umask=000
[05:17] <Cpudan80> okie dokie
[05:17] <scguy318> neil_d_: since EXE files are of the PE format, and .so shared object files are in ELF, your question doesn't make sense :P
[05:17] <jayson_r> q_a_z_steve: Gutsy and Dapper are both supported till 2009, so LTS is almost a moot point at this time
[05:17] <_nix_> sigh
[05:17] <q_a_z_steve> nephlim, website contents would be the explanation and a counter lol
[05:17] <Cpudan80> scguy318: Can I somehow remount the stuff without rebooting the whole PC?
[05:17] <scguy318> Cpudan80: sure
[05:17] <scguy318> Cpudan80: sudo mount -a
[05:18] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, i'm really not all about the latest and greatest. i havn't updated my mac yet either
[05:18] <LtEmerpoc> http://www.pastebin.org/9270
[05:18] <scguy318> Cpudan80: sudo umount -a then that
[05:18] <mike_> well my laptop wont sleep. after dooing allot of poking aorund i discovers that it can't unload the module for my wireles card.
[05:18] <K>  What's the best free media player for ubuntu? This program 'totem' that came preinstalled can't play dvds for some reason.
[05:18] <scguy318> Cpudan80: or just sudo umount the mount point
[05:18] <scguy318> K: VLC, mplayer
[05:18] <bruenig> mike_, oh so you haven't tried to unload the module, you have just realized that hibernation won't do it?
[05:18] <LtEmerpoc> its a 19" widescreen..
[05:18] <scguy318> K: if the reason you can't play is because the DVD is CSS protected
[05:18] <neil_d_> scguy318, ok I used the wrong terminology I just complied a file with gcc, I want to know what .so files its using.
[05:18] <scguy318> !medibuntu | K
[05:18] <ubotu> K: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[05:18] <scguy318> neil_d_: ah, lemme look
[05:19] <q_a_z_steve> DOES anyone in here have a bunch of rhythmbox internet radio stations they can help me get configured? I somehow deleted mine!?
[05:19] <Cpudan80> scguy318: still no go
[05:19] <_nix_> neil_d: ldd <file> should give an output
[05:19] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, www.somafm.com SFW
[05:19] <mike_> bruenig_, i did try to unload it once but i did not kill the daemon. how shoudl i go about dooing that.?
[05:19] <eyemean> sometimes i goto windows and check the ubuntu waste folder and still find items in it, even though i deleted the files in ubuntu, they were not links
[05:19] <nephlim> the best 11 FREE streaming electronic radio stations out there
[05:19] <LtEmerpoc> yeah scguy... its weird
[05:20] <bruenig> mike_, I think ipw3945d --kill
[05:20] <Cpudan80> Wait a minute
[05:20] <ephemient> eyemean: I meant hardlinks not symlinks... not what you were thinking of?
[05:20] <Cpudan80> It's just the one folder that is screwed up
[05:20] <K> are many dvds protected by css?
[05:20] <Cpudan80> Damn windows file permissions
[05:20] <scguy318> K: commerical ones yes
[05:20] <K> does mplayer come with a css reader?
[05:20]  * Cpudan80 beats his computer
[05:20] <neil_d_> scguy318, thanks.
[05:20] <scguy318> K: you'll need to install libdvdcss2
[05:20] <K> code..
[05:20] <scguy318> K: from Medibuntu
[05:20] <eyemean> ephemient, sorry im not sure wat u mean m8
[05:20] <mike_> bruenig_, wow ok i will try that. now. i am on wired network so i wont go offline
[05:20] <serge> any problems with turning trackerd off?
[05:20] <K> scguy318:  ok thanks
[05:21] <serge> on a laptop, that is.
[05:21] <K> ty all
[05:21] <scguy318> LtEmerpoc: have you pasted your xorg.conf yet? this channel is a flood
[05:21] <bruenig> mike_, you know they have new drivers for ipw3945 that don't require a daemon, iwl3945 is the name of the module
[05:21] <bomb> Hey everyone, I know this isnt ubuntu spcecific, but I would like to get my sprint treo 650 to verizon. I have checked out shadowmites site and it seems kinda out dated...is there ANYONE here that might be able to help me find what I need?
[05:22] <bruenig> !ot | bomb
[05:22] <ubotu> bomb: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:22] <bomb> heh, thanks.
[05:22] <pwn> scguy318: I tried both those packages. freeloader doesn't say anything about mulithreaded downloads. Aria2 didn't even work. Anything else?
[05:22] <MasterShrek> bomb, look for a hack to unlock it
[05:22] <neil_d_> I am using gcc to compile a program is there anyway I can force it not to use any '.so' files, so it would be stand alone ?
[05:22] <scguy318> LtEmerpoc: have you pasted your xorg.conf yet?
[05:22] <Kalamansi> gksu gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[05:22] <Kalamansi> -bash: gksu: command not found
[05:22] <LtEmerpoc> scguy yeah.. i did.. but i just noticed that.. there are more than one in the folder
[05:23] <MasterShrek> gksudo
[05:23] <_nix_> neil_d: you may want to pass the -static flag
[05:23] <bomb> MasterShrek, I have been looking for days..I thought I would come here since there is the most people here and im sure ONE of you have done this hack. Thanks though
[05:23] <scguy318> pwn: you don't need multithreaded downloading
[05:23] <Kalamansi> thanks
[05:23] <ephemient> neil_d_: -static
[05:23] <scguy318> pwn: for a download manager I would use d4x
[05:23] <pwn> scguy318: Yes I do
[05:23] <neil_d_> _nix_, ephemient ok I will try.
[05:23] <nephlim> q_a_z_steve, what did you think of somafm?
[05:23] <pwn> scguy318: I have 2 internet lines with a load balancing router
[05:23] <Kalamansi> MasterShrek:
[05:23] <Kalamansi> gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[05:23] <Kalamansi> -bash: gksudo: command not found
[05:23] <q_a_z_steve> nephlim, I'll have to take a look in a bit, looks okay, I'll be back in a bit.
[05:24] <ephemient> Kalamansi: are you running a full Ubuntu desktop, or Kubuntu, or Xubuntu, or none?
[05:24] <mike_> bruenig_, well i can find ipw3945d-2.6.2 using tab completion but it says command not found when i try to execute it. even as root.
[05:25] <Kalamansi> ephemient : ubuntu 6.06LTS server
[05:25] <scguy318> pwn: doesn't mean you need to thread, which is of questionable value anyway
[05:25] <mike_> bruenig_, where would i find that other driver you talked about
[05:25] <pwn> scguy318: If I don't then it'll only use either of my lines.
[05:25] <MasterShrek> Kalamansi, without a gui youd have to use sudo vi or sudo nano
[05:25] <ephemient> Kalamansi: ah. a) are you running X? b) what's your preferred editor?
[05:25] <ephemient> Kalamansi: yeah.  just use "sudo $EDITOR /etc/ssh/sshd_config"
[05:26] <Kalamansi> ephemient : i dont run X.pure console
[05:26] <scguy318> pwn: isn't that a matter of tweaking interface metric?
[05:26] <osmosis> mike_: wireless issues ?
[05:26] <neil_d_> _nix_, ephemient, well that worked but it sure made a quite simple program very big.
[05:26] <scguy318> pwn: not that I'm a networking expert, but perhaps take a shot at d4x
[05:27] <_nix_> neil_d: it packaged a lot of libraries into a single file.. that was expected
[05:28] <Tornadochas3r01> hi everyone
[05:28] <osmosis> mike_: I have wireless issues. Just wondering if its the same thing.
[05:28] <LtEmerpoc> scguy did you hear what i said?
[05:28] <osmosis> Tornadochas3r01: hi
[05:28] <linux88> how do you unload xchat plugins? well scripts?
[05:28] <scguy318> LtEmerpoc: I didn't
[05:28] <scguy318> LtEmerpoc: if it was a PM you need to register
[05:28] <mike_> osmosis: no, suspend issues wireless works great. but my computer wont sleep because it cant unload the module for my card. i told it to ignore the fact that it can  not unload and it fails to resume from sleep. this was not a problem in fiesty. but i am using gusty now
[05:29] <snausage> is it possible to add mp3 playback for gusty 7.1?
[05:29] <osmosis> mike_: stock wireless module, or custom ?

[05:32] <mike_> osmosis: i have intel 3945ABG
[05:32] <osmosis> mike_: yah, thats what I have.
[05:33] <mike_> same problem?
[05:33] <linux88> buttercups, well... i searched there but the script is not there. I right clicked and did Load Plugin or Script. And thats how I installed it.
[05:33] <osmosis> mike_: on a Inspiron 1420
[05:33] <osmosis> mike_: no, mine suspends just fine. But I have problems with wireles stop working frequently.
[05:33] <scguy318> LtEmerpoc: what is the make/model of your monitor?
[05:33] <z0rz> When I stream videos from my vista machine to my ubuntu machine they freezes up in full screen.. MPlayer seems to do fine, but Totem and VLC freezes up in full screen mode (My xbox is also able to stream fine) What's my solution?
[05:33] <mike_> osmosis: i have a sony vgn-txn27cn
[05:33] <LtEmerpoc> envision...
[05:34] <LtEmerpoc> thats all i know
[05:34] <wers> what is oo.o based on? before, its UI fonts followed my .fonts.conf's setting. now, it does not follow my gnome's font setting
[05:34] <scguy318> LtEmerpoc: alright, can you also pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[05:34] <solidunit> how do i keep startx from going straight to gnome ?
[05:34] <ephemient> solidunit: create and put what you want to run into ~/.xinitrc
[05:34] <LtEmerpoc> well where do i find that?
[05:35] <carbanm> alright, i have a really noobish question
[05:35] <tronyx> what's up carbanm
[05:35] <carbanm> how can i use a broadcom wifi card with ubuntu?
[05:35] <cryonv> I have many of those... ;)
[05:35] <scguy318> LtEmerpoc: in the location I just mentioned :P
[05:35] <carbanm> i'm using windows right now, so i have to find a way to download the needed files before booting to ubuntu
[05:35] <scguy318> carbanm: you can use Restricted drivers (not really working all that great) or use ndiswrapper
[05:35] <solidunit> thx ephemient
[05:35] <mike_> osmosis: yaa if you do unload the module it will often get messed up. if you never suspend it will work fine. thats how it was in fiesty. to fix the problem gusty did somthing to prevent it from beeing unloaded.
[05:35] <carbanm> does NDISwrapper work off the bat?
[05:35] <scguy318> carbanm: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto
[05:36] <carbanm> scguy318: thanks
[05:36] <scguy318> carbanm: off the bat as in just installing it, no
[05:36] <scguy318> carbanm: you also have to do a few steps
[05:36] <osmosis> mike_: hmm..well, i know there is a new driver out now that isnt in gutsy yet.
[05:36] <carbanm> is there any easy fix that won't require ubuntu to have a connection?
[05:36] <scguy318> carbanm: the guide shows how to install ndiswrapper without internet
[05:36] <carbanm> awesome
[05:36] <carbanm> thanks guys
[05:36] <mike_> osmosis: do you knwo where i can find this driver. :)

[05:39] <jediborger> Does anyone know howto link two directories together?
[05:39] <DigitalNinja_> I would like to test clamassassin. Is there a place I can get a virus?
[05:39] <osmosis> mike_: yah, sure.
[05:39] <scguy318> DigitalNinja_: sure, the EICAR test file
[05:39] <Dr_willis> jediborger,  you may want to clairfy that  a bit.
[05:39] <DigitalNinja_> Thanks
[05:40] <DigitalNinja_> Oh
[05:40] <jediborger> for example the link from cdrom in / to /media/cdrom
[05:40] <Centaur5> Isn't Gutsy supposed to support winmodems out of the box?
[05:40] <rbil> what key combo is used during booting Gutsy so that it boots up showing the details of the boot?
[05:40] <DigitalNinja_> scguy318: Where do I get EICAR from?
[05:40] <Dr_willis> jediborger,  ln -s /one/place /other/place
[05:40] <mike_> osmosis: i wont be installing it tonight. it is 1:40 am where i am. but thanks for the help. and i will come back and report my findings
[05:40] <scguy318> DigitalNinja_:

[05:40] <jediborger> when I try to create links between directories using ln I get you can't create hard links, and symbolic tells me operation not permitted
[05:40] <scguy318> DigitalNinja_: that string
[05:41] <scguy318> DigitalNinja_: is the EICAR test file
[05:41] <Wifi-Phreak> Can anyone tell me how to go about setting up a nessused server and or creating a login?
[05:41] <scguy318> DigitalNinja_: their site has that string also
[05:41] <Dr_willis> jediborger,  crossing filesystems, you cant use hard links. Youmust use soft links.
[05:41] <scguy318> DigitalNinja_: http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm
[05:41] <DigitalNinja_> scguy318: Do I add that to an email
[05:41] <Dr_willis> jediborger,  you may be just using the ln -s command inproperly.
[05:41] <jediborger> I'm staying on one filesystem
[05:41] <scguy318> DigitalNinja_: it would be like in an attachment
[05:41] <scguy318> DigitalNinja_: or w/e
[05:42] <scguy318> DigitalNinja_: or file
[05:42] <jediborger> I'm actually copying the install cd to a usb drive
[05:42] <DigitalNinja> I see

[05:42] <snausage> anyone have a good link for install most prog's for ubuntu 7.10
[05:42] <jediborger> but the symlinks didn't copy so I'm trying to recreate them and running into problems

[05:42] <scguy318> LtEmerpoc: thanks
[05:43] <Dr_willis> jediborger,  thers some extra options to cp one would normally use to do that. Or use some fancy tar command tomake a exact copy including the links.

[05:55] <ma2> cpudan80:way is there not any good games for linux?

[05:56] <Cpudan80> And Dr_willis is right, there a quite a few good games
[05:56] <Dr_willis> ma2,  i wonder why theres so many over priced/overhyped games for windows/ps2/ps3/xbox/ect..

[05:56] <Dr_willis> Wow Can (#*&@*  :)
[05:57] <scguy318> Cpudan80: I played some DX games that did better on Linux than Windows :P
[05:57] <allenc> hahaha... sorry but I respectfully disagree!
[05:57] <ma2> dr_willis:ill do torrent games  if you have any

[06:00] <rbil> allenc: is the hostname assigned in the hosts file?
[06:00] <ma2> scguy318:what you use to play .win games ?
[06:00] <scguy318> ma2: theres nothing else other than Wine
[06:00] <scguy318> bitbit: check your /etc/X11 folder
[06:00] <Dr_willis> wine/cedega
[06:00] <scguy318> bitbit: Screens and Graphics should have generated an xorg.conf backup
[06:00] <Cpudan80> ma2: If it's that important to you, run windows as dual-boot
[06:01] <allenc> rbil: I am a neewb... dunno....
[06:01] <Cpudan80> Unfortunately, nothing can totally replace Windows... yet
[06:01] <rbil> do a ...   cat /etc/hosts
[06:01] <ma2> cpudan80:ok sure, how ?
[06:01] <scguy318> Dr_willis: Cedega is horribly out of date :P
[06:01] <excaliber27> just curious if anyone's having any mounting issues in gutsy

[06:04] <ma2> cpudan80:you know why i ask because the 3D is not working
[06:04] <scguy318> ltemerpocsus: paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log again
[06:04] <Cpudan80> ma2: follow the directions that ubotu gave you
[06:04] <scguy318> ma2: you probably need restricted from Restricted Driver Manager
[06:05] <ma2> scguy318:is not in there
[06:06] <scguy318> ma2: what does glxinfo | grep rendering say
[06:06] <ltemerpocsus> okay...
[06:06] <ltemerpocsus> http://www.pastebin.org/9293
[06:08] <scguy318> Itemerpocsus: in your xorg.conf

[06:09] <snausage> can someone let me know if there is anything wrong with ubuntu 7.10 gusty gibbon  and laptops??
[06:09] <scguy318> ma2: not really but that's ok
[06:09] <scguy318> ma2: looks like your DRI is off
[06:09] <snausage> or anything i need to change?
[06:10] <jordan> is there much of a difference between Linux Mint and Ubuntu?
[06:10] <scguy318> ma2: what's in your xorg.conf?
[06:10] <ma2> scguy318:i forgot how to find that?
[06:10] <bitbit> scguy318: does Screens and Graphics backups all xorg.conf?
[06:11] <scguy318> jordan: thats /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:11] <scguy318> bitbit: it should I think
[06:11] <bullgard4> I have two laptop computers with Ubuntu 7.10. One has a directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.4/ . Why doesn't have the other it as well?
[06:11] <scguy318> bitbit: if not you can do it yourself
[06:11] <scguy318> bitbit: make sure to restart X of course when changing xorg.con
[06:11] <scguy318> *conf
[06:12] <bitbit> scguy318: I did and it didn't change back to the way it was. I think it changed to one of my older attempts to get it back before I tried your method

[06:13] <scguy318> bitbit: to reconfigure
[06:13] <scguy318> bitbit: or paste it and I'll look
[06:13] <bitbit> scguy318: k i'll try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg first
[06:14] <crazy6> is it "wrong" to buy an apple keyboard?

[06:15] <buibui> hello I want to share files to my XP network
[06:15] <buibui> I've got samba installed, what now?
[06:15] <scguy318> !samba | buibui
[06:15] <ubotu> buibui: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[06:15] <buibui> Can i go the opposite way around and share folders on this ubuntu install to my xp network
[06:16] <buibui> (to backup)
[06:16] <ma2> scguy318:am lost!
[06:16] <scguy318> buibui: yes
[06:16] <scguy318> ma2: pastebin
[06:16] <buibui> is that info in the link?
[06:16] <hwdyki> what package do i install to get java developement tools?
[06:16] <scguy318> ma2: the command LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo
[06:16] <scguy318> hwdyki: like an IDE?
[06:16] <scguy318> hwdyki: or the JDK?
[06:17] <scguy318> hwdyki: JDK that would be sun-java6-jdk
[06:17] <mohkohn> Is partimage on the ubuntu livecd?
[06:17] <scguy318> buibui: should be I think
[06:17] <hwdyki> ok

[06:18] <snausage> is ubuntu bad on a laptop???
[06:18] <ToddEDM> hey guys, how do i install a game on Linux, that is for windows... is it WINE i use?
[06:18] <scguy318> ToddEDM: yes
[06:19] <bitbit> scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45755/
[06:19] <ybt> u first howto use wine first
[06:19] <ToddEDM> do i open the exe with wine?
[06:19] <ybt> yup
[06:19] <buibui> hmmm... that link just shows me how to mount a share from my xp network, not the other way around
[06:19] <buibui> Does anyone know how i can get my ubuntu comp to act like a xp comp in a workgroup
[06:20] <snausage> is there something i need to change in ubuntu to have my laptop run cooler?  semms to run hot and wont run off battery ??
[06:20] <scguy318> ToddEDM: yes
[06:20] <flash_> hi, im first here! im a programming and im studying english here.
[06:20] <bitbit> scguy318: does that help you?
[06:20] <ybt> ......
[06:20] <scguy318> bitbit: also paste /va/rlog/Xorg.0.log
[06:20] <crazy6> ...
[06:20] <scguy318> bitbit: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:21] <crazy6> oh hell, this thing decided to fo an fsck on my 300gb data drive... this is going to take forever
[06:21] <flash_> any youth who would like to chat with me?
[06:22] <snausage> is there something i need to change in ubuntu to have my laptop run cooler?  semms to run hot and wont run off battery ??
[06:22] <macksting> Second day on Linux. There's a long command I've been using to open a program with, like, parameters and stuff. I know I'll be doing this regularly. I hear tell of "scripts," or something akin. First off, am I hallucinating? Second off, how do I make one if, in fact, they are not akin to Ogopogo? :)
[06:22] <bitbit> scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45756/   -- Xorg.0.log
[06:22] <scguy318> macksting: shortcut?
[06:23] <buibui> Does anyone know how i can get my ubuntu comp to act like a xp comp in a workgroup
[06:23] <toresn> does anyone here happen to use MOC (music on console) ?
[06:23] <macksting> scguy: I dunno. I've been punching it into the terminal up until now; something I could click would be nice.
[06:23] <toresn> if so, how do you use iconv?
[06:23] <macksting> Like I said, second day.
[06:23] <snausage> is there something i need to change in ubuntu to have my laptop run cooler?  semms to run hot and wont run off battery ??
[06:24] <crazy6> macksting: you mean like for command line stuff? or just for starting programs?
[06:24] <scguy318> macksting: make a shortcut
[06:24] <scguy318> macksting: with the Terminal command as the, well, command
[06:24] <ablyss> macksting: i use .bashrc for long commands i use a lot.  just edit .bashrc and add an alias, e.g. alias long_command="<actual command here>". Then run the alias next time
[06:25] <macksting> Ablyss: That's a thought. I might do both.
[06:25] <macksting> scguy318: So do I kinda right-click somewhere?
[06:25] <ablyss> works great for long custom scripts
[06:25] <macksting> It's not that long a command, really, just a line or two. More than I want to regularly type.
[06:26] <scguy318> macksting: yeah
[06:26] <scguy318> macksting: the desktop, should have create launcher or shortcut
[06:26] <ma2> how here knows what is DRI ?
[06:26] <ToddEDM> wow, right on , COD is installing
[06:26] <ltemerpocsus> yeah... nothing changed..
[06:26] <ephemient> macksting: just put it into a text file with "#!/bin/sh" on the top, and "chmod +x" that file
[06:26] <ltemerpocsus> nothing scguy
[06:26] <ToddEDM> yes, the original
[06:26] <ablyss> yeah, if the command doesn't require a working directory then a shortcut launcher would be better
[06:26] <bullgard4> I have two laptop computers with Ubuntu 7.10. One has a directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.4/ . Why doesn't have the other it as well?
[06:26] <buibui> Does anyone know how i can get my ubuntu comp to act like a xp comp in a workgroup
[06:26] <ltemerpocsus> i feel like an idiot
[06:27] <bitbit> scguy318: any idea how to fix this?
[06:27] <macksting> Hard to say, ablyss.
[06:27] <ltemerpocsus> and asking the right questions and getting the right help but i dont know
[06:27] <snausage> is there something i need to change in ubuntu to have my laptop run cooler?  semms to run hot and wont run off battery ??  anyone??
[06:27] <scguy318> bitbit: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45757/
[06:27] <crazy6> snausage: maybe do a dmesg | less in a terminal and see if acpi is loading?
[06:27] <scguy318> bitbit: ive edited it
[06:27] <ltemerpocsus> scguy..
[06:27] <macksting> Eph: Okaydium. scguy318: For some reason, I couldn't find any text on the desktop referring to that, nor anything obvious in right-click or other menus.
[06:27] <scguy318> bitbit: try using that
[06:27] <scguy318> yes?
[06:27] <scguy318> ltemerpocsus: yes?
[06:28] <ablyss> macksting: for instance I have an alias that adds a shadow to all the jpegs in my current directory so it would be impossible to do that via a shortcut
[06:28] <snausage> crazy6   sorry i have no idea what that means
[06:28] <crazy6> snausage: and maybe try opening the systme monitor (depends what window manager you're using?) and see if your CPU is getting frequency scaled?
[06:28] <jacob> what is grep and find and how are they related?
[06:28] <ltemerpocsus> can you maybe just do it once
[06:28] <ltemerpocsus> for me
[06:28] <scguy318> jacob: grep applies a regex to its input
[06:28] <crazy6> snausage: oh, well, do you know how to open a terminal? there's a shortcut for it... somewhere
[06:28] <ltemerpocsus> remote desktop or whatver
[06:28] <scguy318> ltemerpocsus: sure I guess,
[06:28] <snausage> ya i know that
[06:28] <jacob> scguy318: i don't get that
[06:28] <scguy318> ltemerpocsus: you'll have to reg to PM me, and you need to port forward 5900 of course
[06:28] <snausage> just what would i type ( or paste in)
[06:29] <scguy318> jacob: what do you mean?
[06:29] <toresn> does anyone here happen to use MOC (music on console) ?
[06:29] <toresn> if so, how do you use iconv?
[06:29] <crazy6> snausage: (keep in mind this is only a shot in the dark, I don't know how to fix anything)  open a terminal, type in "dmesg | less"  (that character is a vertical, shift + \)
[06:29] <scguy318> jacob: from the man page:        grep, egrep, fgrep, rgrep - print lines matching a pattern
[06:29] <bullgard4> buibui: 'to act as' is a rather fuzzy word. Re-word your question so that it becomes more precise. You probably want to install and configure Samba.
[06:29] <buibui> i need xp comp to be able to grab files from my ubuntu desktop
[06:30] <ephemient> jacob: grep is a (text) filter, find recursively searches for files
[06:30] <snausage> is there something i should be looking for now?
[06:30] <buibui> i know it something to do with samba
[06:30] <scguy318> macksting: using GNOME?
[06:30] <scguy318> macksting: or Xfce?
[06:30] <crazy6> snausage: thats the debugging messages that your kernel spits out as it is starting up, as individal modules (drivers) load. look around for a line that says "ACPI" (caps or not). you can search by pressing '/', typing in "acpi" and hitting enter
[06:30] <buibui> i got it working before, so i could see my ubuntu comp from my windows comp
[06:30] <buibui> but i ve completely forgotten how
[06:30] <jacob> scguy318: ok, go on
[06:30]  * macksting isn't even quite sure what those are. Should he wiki, or is there some terminal command he can paste to find out?
[06:30] <scguy318> macksting: tell me what Ubuntu you're using :)
[06:30] <macksting> 7.04
[06:30] <ComPro> my fglrx driver doesn't work anymore. it's the one that came with gutsy.
[06:30] <scguy318> macksting: GNOME and Xfce are desktop managers
[06:31] <scguy318>        grep, egrep, fgrep, rgrep - print lines matching a pattern
[06:31] <scguy318> oops
[06:31] <jacob> then how is find and locate different from each other
[06:31] <ComPro> X will not start properly
[06:31] <macksting> Ubuntu 7.04, not particularly Kubuntu or anything s'far as I can tell.
[06:31] <bullgard4> buibui: Your wording still is not precise. So I cannot help you.
[06:31] <scguy318> jacob: find walks through the filesystem
[06:31] <crazy6> snausage: oh, the other easier thing is that you can open another terminal, and type "top" , it'll give you a live printout of what is loading up your system (look under CPU column)
[06:31] <scguy318> jacob: doing whatever is asked of it
[06:31] <scguy318> jacob: locate in contrast just searches an index
[06:31] <scguy318> jacob: generated by updatedb
[06:31] <ToddEDM> hey guys, im installing a game under WINE, and its asking for the second CD..... it wont let me eject it !!!

[06:32] <jacob> scguy318, ok that makes sense thx
[06:32] <ToddEDM> any solutions?
[06:32] <scguy318> ToddEDM: wine eject ...
[06:32] <ToddEDM> ?
[06:32] <scguy318> ToddEDM: wine eject thedriveletter
[06:32] <crazy6> snausage: eh, if it doesn't say there was an error, who knows. check "top"
[06:32] <scguy318> ToddEDM: thats a command to run
[06:32] <buibui> I dont know how else i can explain. I need to access files on my ubuntu comp from xp comp through network, so since i am using workgroups, i need my ubuntu comp to act as a xp comp and join the workgroup so i can access its files
[06:32] <scguy318> ToddEDM: the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive in Wine, if you don't know run winecfg and look at Drives tab
[06:33] <scguy318> macksting: ok, I think I kinda left you in the dust there
[06:33] <scguy318> macksting: if you right click on the Desktop
[06:33] <macksting> I'm afraid I'm easy to get dusty.
[06:33] <ComPro> i need some help please. i rebooted and now my fglrx driver will not work. x will not start properly if fglrx is specified in my xorg.conf file
[06:33] <scguy318> macksting: you know, with the pretty background and all
[06:33] <crazy6> snausage: see if anything is sitting there using 50% or more of the CPU
[06:33] <scguy318> macksting: there should be a choice called Create Launcher
[06:33] <scguy318> macksting: that's how you create a shortcut
[06:34] <bitbit> scguy318: still doesnt work
[06:34] <scguy318> macksting: affectionately known as .desktop files, just ordinary text files
[06:34] <scguy318> bitbit: same thing?
[06:34] <ToddEDM> thganks scguy318
[06:35] <snausage> acpi: looking for dsdt in initramfs... error , file /dsdt.aml not found.
[06:35] <macksting> scguy318: Ah! I'm starting to get the idea. Should I paste a copy of the command so's you can tell me how to fill in the blanks? It'd shed some light on the command process for me, too.
[06:35] <snausage> would that be the problem?
[06:35] <scguy318> macksting: sure
[06:35] <bitbit> scguy318: yeah, same thing. listen when I isntalled Ubuntu a few days ago it made the screen res look okay all by itself, can I make it do is again somehow?
[06:35] <snausage> crazy6   acpi: looking for dsdt in initramfs... error , file /dsdt.aml not found.
[06:35] <scguy318> bitbit: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg perhaps
[06:35] <macksting> from terminal: ALEPHONE_DATA='/usr/local/share/AlephOne/M1A1' alephone
[06:35] <crazy6> snausage: interesting, not sure... google it
[06:35] <crazy6> snausage: or some subset of it
[06:36] <scguy318> macksting: you should be at the Create Launcher dialog right now
[06:36] <CapaH> Hello all. I have a PCI NetGear RangeMax Wireless Wifi Adapter WPN311 --- Ubuntu sets up some restricted drivers, and when I iwconfig I can see two new interfaces: wifi0 and ath0 --- now, neither one "works" in that I cannot use either one to actually connect to a network. Using ath0 I can iwscan --- Can ANYONE help me on this?
[06:36] <scguy318> macksting: for the Name field, whatever you want
[06:36] <scguy318> macksting: the Command field what you just pasted for me
[06:36]  * macksting feels kinda silly now.
[06:36] <scguy318> macksting: Comment whatever you want, its just additional information
[06:36] <scguy318> macksting: for the tooltip
[06:36]  * macksting feels really silly now.
[06:36] <macksting> Thanks.
[06:38] <ComPro> please i need some help desperately. i rebooted and X will not start with fglrx set as my driver.
[06:38] <RandomOutburst> when i go into the terminal and type umount /dev/hd0, or any of my drives for that matter, it just says  not found. anyone know why?
[06:38] <Fezzler> how do I send a txt file or other out the ttyUSB0 in Ubuntu/Linux?  Is there a ProComm like terminal/modem program in Ubuntu?
[06:38] <ngupta> Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me.
[06:38] <magic_ninja> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/language-pack-en_1%3a7.10+20071120_all.deb: files list file for package `foo2zjs' is missing final newline
[06:39] <scguy318> Fezzler: cat txtfile > /dev/ttyUSB0
[06:39] <scguy318> Fezzler: probably doesn't work but random thought
[06:39] <ma2> how do i use this"$ git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel" ?
[06:39] <jbmigel> ComPro does X give you an error on startup?
[06:39] <scguy318> ma2: as it's written, without the prompt
[06:39] <RandomOutburst> ?
[06:39] <ma2> what is prompt
[06:39] <scguy318> ma2: the $
[06:39] <scguy318> ma2: you need to install Git before running that of course
[06:39] <ComPro> jbmigel: no it either loads to a black screen and i cant even switch to a terminal, or it will load with a low resolution and say that it couldnt properly detect my card
[06:40] <bitbit> scguy318: hey! it worked! thank you so much!
[06:40] <ngupta> Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me.
[06:40] <ma2> scguy318:how i do that ?
[06:40] <scguy318> bitbit: np
[06:40] <scguy318> ma2: sudo apt-get install git I think
[06:40] <buibui> I need to access files on my ubuntu comp from my seperate xp comp through network, so since i am using workgroups, i need my ubuntu comp to act as a xp comp and join the workgroup so i can access its files. Anyone know how??
[06:41] <jbmigel> ComPro you have set your driver = "fglrx" in your xorg.conf?
[06:41] <macksting> Curious. The command works fine in the terminal, but doesn't work in the shortcut.
[06:41] <macksting> I'm being asked to test something totally different right now. Be back in a few.
[06:41] <ComPro> jbmigel: yes. if i set it back to vesa, i can get in just fine, but then i cant set up dual head or use compiz or anything.
[06:41] <techII> ok, how do i change the codec that the snd-hda-intel module uses?  /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 gives me "Codec: Generic 11c1 Si3054" while codec#3 gives me "Codec: Realtek ID 268"
[06:41] <ngupta> Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me.
[06:42] <techII> buibui, look at "samba", don't ask me about configuring it
[06:42] <jbmigel> ComPro did you compile your own fglrx or use a package?
[06:42] <scguy318> macksting: oh
[06:42] <ma2> scguy318:am i doing is right i found this link from intel for is chip
[06:42] <scguy318> macksting: when you come back
[06:42] <scguy318> ma2: I'm not sure that's a good solution
[06:43] <scguy318> macksting: I forgot to mention this
[06:43] <scguy318> macksting: prefix the ALEPHONE_DATA with env
[06:43] <ComPro> jbmigel: i went about it by enabling it in the restricted driver manager
[06:43] <magic_ninja> how do i ls a dir yet only show files with certain characters
[06:43] <magic_ninja> for instance only files starting with f
[06:43] <un1xxen> omg . i love the gutsy gibbon
[06:44] <mohkohn> virtualbox or xen for running winxp as a vm?
[06:44] <ngupta> Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me.
[06:44] <jbmigel> ComPro what ATI card do you have installed?
[06:44]  * un1xxen loves you all 
[06:44] <scguy318> magic_ninja: ls /that/dir/f*
[06:44]  * un1xxen is uber happy
[06:44] <macksting> So env ALEPHONE?
[06:44] <scguy318> macksting: like
[06:44]  * un1xxen quits windows .. yay
[06:44] <ComPro> jbmigel: i went about it by enabling it in the restricted driverjbmigel: ATI Radeon x1650
[06:44] <ere4si> magic_ninja: try ls /dir | grep f
[06:45] <scguy318> macksting: env ALEPHONE_DATA="/usr/local/share/AlephOne/M1A1" alephone
[06:45] <scguy318> macksting: like that
[06:45] <magic_ninja> ere4si and scguy318 ty
[06:45] <buibui> everyone told me too "look at samba"
[06:45] <scguy318> macksting: the shortcut command is kinda different from what bash takes
[06:45] <buibui> I already have
[06:45] <buibui> anyway
[06:45] <techII> about my sound problem, "Caller ID" and "Off-hook" flags appear in alsamixer, along with a "Master" volume control, nothing else is there;  speakers work, but it seems like the mixer is dealing with a modem
[06:45] <buibui> think i've found simpler method
[06:45] <buibui> even has a youtube video
[06:45] <ere4si> buibui: look at nfs :)
[06:45] <techII> the master volume control seems to work with the speakers
[06:45] <ngupta> Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me.
[06:45] <macksting> scguy318: I'll try to bear that in mind. The shortcut works fine now!
[06:46] <macksting> I'll make sure to copy that formula for further shortcuts, until such time as I've dissected this thing enough to know how to do more with it.
[06:46] <macksting> Danke!
[06:46] <scguy318> macksting: np, there's probably docs for Freedesktop.org stuff
[06:47] <scguy318> macksting: that's a standard so to speak for Linux desktops
[06:47] <scguy318> macksting: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/
[06:47] <magic_ninja> now the next step
[06:47] <techII> ngupta, the "inhibit panel" applet, or look under System>Preferences>Power Management
[06:48] <techII> s/inhibit panel/inhibit applet
[06:48] <magic_ninja> my proc runs at 1.1ghz right now, but it used to run at 1.4, for some reason it crashes when i run it at 1.4 but i never had a problem before, will linux still boot like normal if i simply reset the proc in bios or will i need a new kernel
[06:48] <ComPro> does anyone know what would make the fglrx driver suddenly not work? i rebooted from a working configuration, no changes, and X failed to load again, no errors.
[06:48] <scguy318> magic_ninja: you wont need a new kernel
[06:49] <jbmigel> ComPro have you tried editing only the device section of xorg.conf to fglrx and dont screw with compiz?
[06:49] <ngupta> techII, I've tried that. In my power preferences, I have put to sleep when : never
[06:49] <techII> ngupta, then i have no idea
[06:49] <ngupta> ok, thanks.
[06:49] <ComPro> jbmigel: yes, i've backed up my xorg.conf and started from scratch. the only thing changed right now from defaults is telling it that it's fglrx
[06:49] <magic_ninja> now
[06:50] <ma2> scguy318:the thing is i dont know if am doing it right
[06:50] <magic_ninja> my next question
[06:50] <magic_ninja> what are some probable things that would cause my cpu to overheat
[06:50] <scguy318> ma2: I'm not sure what you're trying to do is a good idea
[06:50] <scguy318> magic_ninja: inadequate cooling ;)
[06:50] <magic_ninja> i'm fairly certain its running cool enough, the only crashes i get are when running cs for more then an hour
[06:50] <bullgard4> I have two laptop computers with Ubuntu 7.10. One has a directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.4/ . Why doesn't have the other it as well?
[06:50] <ma2> scguy318:am trying to fix dri and enable 3D on my graphic card
[06:50] <scguy318> bullgard4: perhaps linux-headers-2.6.22.4 isn't installed
[06:51] <magic_ninja> scguy318: it always ran fine before after i replaced the cpu fan
[06:51] <jbmigel> ComPro can you pastebin your Xorg.0.log?
[06:51] <magic_ninja> scguy318: rusty on hardware i havn't done much of it for a few years, but i'm about to build a new comp so i need to brush up on it >.<
[06:51] <bitbit> another problem: my screen is connected to the motherboard, when I try to connect it to my graphics card the screen goes into "power saving mode"
[06:51] <kryptik_> anyone here know of a channel on cracking vb progs?
[06:51] <toresn> i need some help with mplayer
[06:51] <scguy318> kryptik_: cracking like?
[06:52] <scguy318> magic_ninja: hmm I'm no hardware expert myself
[06:52] <magic_ninja> bitbit: your graphics card isn't being detected
[06:52] <scguy318> magic_ninja: I'm still running stuff from like 2000 :P
[06:52] <ComPro> jbmigel: where is said file, and what is pastebin?
[06:52] <magic_ninja> same
[06:52] <magic_ninja> xp 1700+
[06:52] <Link> i have a question about WUBI
[06:52] <magic_ninja> athalon that is
[06:52] <bitbit> magic_ninja: what should I do?
[06:52] <kryptik_> like debugging, disassemly
[06:52] <magic_ninja> bitbit: check your bios and make sure that your graphics card on the mobo is disabled and the one in agp or pci is enabled first off
[06:52] <toresn> i need some help with mplayer... when i switched to an external monitor from the one on my laptop, mplayer suddenly stop working... i can only run it with mplayer -vo x11 <filename>  now
[06:53] <kryptik_> like they do with softice and smartcheck... only oldschool ways
[06:53] <scguy318> kryptik_: well, dunno if theres a channel specifically for VB, since a VB app is just a program that totally depends on msvbvm60.dll
[06:53] <toresn> and then it wont be fullscreen
[06:53] <scguy318> kryptik_: but im sure theres a channel for reverse engineering
[06:53] <jbmigel> ComPro the file is /var/log/Xorg.0.log and pastebin.ca is a website that lets you paste stuff and let other people see it... go there and paste the file contents, then share the link
[06:53] <bullgard4> scguy318: linux-headers-2.6.22-14 is installed. I have checked that.
[06:53] <ere4si> I just installed the fluxbuntu rc and can't get past the login window - there's no way for me to type name and password - no cursor...
[06:53] <ComPro> jbmigel: i cannot pastebin as i cannot get to a gui
[06:53] <scguy318> bullgard4: hmm dunno
[06:53] <magic_ninja> bitbit: its like having two soundcards, one on mobo and one in pci, you have to enable the pci one in bios
[06:53] <kryptik_> do you think it would be possible to crack a windows vb program under linux without the use of wine or the like
[06:53] <bitbit> magic_ninja: k, brb
[06:54] <tntCry> please any experts in networking and ports?
[06:54] <crazy6> I wish my sound worked
[06:54] <scguy318> kryptik_: sure, disassemble then anaylze
[06:54] <jbmigel> ComPro use the vesa or ATI driver... or refer to the log file and find the error yourself
[06:54] <magic_ninja> tntCry: state the problem
[06:54] <bullgard4> scguy318: Ok. Enjoy Ubuntu!
[06:54] <tntCry> crazy6, pc or laptop?
[06:54] <scguy318> kryptik_: *analyze
[06:54] <Pir8> Guys, is there a way to set two different wallpapers on dual monitor setup ?
[06:54] <kryptik_> ok ty
[06:54] <scguy318> bullgard4: wish I knew more
[06:54] <scguy318> kryptik_: if you're looking for help in reverse engineering I wish I knew :P
[06:55] <tntCry> magic_ninja, at the university many things is blocked forexample i cant connect in IRC , but i can surf the web .. only . any help for routing like httptunnel in windows
[06:55] <Fezzler> Getting error: "Couldn't open /dev/ttyd0 - check permissions"  How do I do that?
[06:55] <emja> damn openoffice takes tenb minutes to start
[06:55] <kryptik_> yeah... im doing this mod-x thing
[06:55] <scguy318> Fezzler: ls -l /dev/ttyd0
[06:55] <RandomOutburst> how do you unmount a hdd?
[06:55] <scguy318> RandomOutburst: graphically or wut?
[06:55] <buzzsaw> its been a while sicne i used linux and i am a bit confused i just did a ./configure and it is telling me that i must have the png library installed
[06:55] <kryptik_> i cracked it before in windows... just that wine isnt handling properly
[06:55] <tntCry> emja, takes less then 4seconds for a p4 1.7 ghz 256ram and 16mb on board GFX
[06:55] <toresn> i need some help with mplayer... when i switched to an external monitor from the one on my laptop, mplayer suddenly stop working... i can only run it with mplayer -vo x11 <filename>  now
[06:55] <toresn> and then it wont be fullscreen
[06:56] <emja> tntCry: 1GHz, 256Mb RAM
[06:56] <RandomOutburst> umm i dont know i guess, or with the shell
[06:56] <scguy318> kryptik_: read up on winedbg or VM :P
[06:56] <kryptik_> the forum suggested vmware.... but have no idea about it
[06:56] <Fezzler> What does this mean? "crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 224 2007-11-25 00:48 /dev/ttyd0"
[06:56] <kryptik_> and you do aswell
[06:56] <tntCry> emja, maybe you have a dead ram
[06:56] <magic_ninja> tntCry: use a proxy server with an okay port to connect to irc
[06:56] <emja> tntCry: something very wrong here. fresh ubuntu install, no openoffice settings in /home/user
[06:56] <scguy318> buzzsaw: sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev
[06:57] <RandomOutburst> how would i unmount it?
[06:57] <emja> tntCry: good point. I will run memtest
[06:57] <scguy318> RandomOutburst: in Nautilus right click, Unmount
[06:57] <emja> thx
[06:57] <scguy318> RandomOutburst: CLI sudo umount /the/mnt/point
[06:57] <tntCry> anybody else know how to bypass university ports , coz i cant connect with IRC , and i cant start pidgins . however with xp i can run msn messenger in the uni
[06:57] <RandomOutburst> i need to format a partition and qtparted wont let me until its unmounted
[06:57] <pakratt> you still around cryonv?
[06:58] <tntCry> emja, it can be even because u have compiz enabled and many other app's
[06:58] <RandomOutburst> im using backtrack 2 btw
[06:58] <scguy318> tntCry: SSH out?
[06:58] <emja> tntCry: no compiz. possible other apps from medibuntu repo
[06:58] <scguy318> tntCry: or Tor
[06:58] <RandomOutburst> but it should more or less be the same as ubuntu yes?
[06:58] <buzzsaw> so with ubuntu is my user root?
[06:58] <tntCry> scguy318, what do you mean?
[06:58] <buzzsaw> is that why i need to sudo?
[06:58] <bullgard1> RandomOutburst: This is a security measure. Thank God that this security measure is built in.
[06:58] <scguy318> RandomOutburst: yeah
[06:58] <emja> buzzsaw: no. sudo is because you're not root
[06:58] <Reng> hey is screenlets.org down for you guys? i can seem to get to their site
[06:58] <RandomOutburst> when i try umount /dev /hd1 it just says not found
[06:59] <buzzsaw> well it asks me for MY password
[06:59] <tntCry> scguy318, with windows i can use msn messenger , but with ubuntu i cant login msn with pidgins however i can do surfing exactly like windows
[06:59] <scguy318> buzzsaw: yeah to elevate privileges to root, since your account is in /etc/sudoers
[06:59] <emja> buzzsaw: yes, because you're authorised to run things as root with sudo
[06:59] <buzzsaw> ok :-)
[06:59] <magic_ninja> tntCry: set your protocol
[06:59] <tntCry> huh
[07:00] <RandomOutburst> what would be wrong?
[07:00] <buzzsaw> its been a few years but if i remember correctley to install a tarball after i unzip it i   ./configure make make install  ?
[07:00] <Reng> can you guy check if this site www.screenlets.org work?
[07:00] <scguy318> buzzsaw: yep, though one small tweak for the last thing
[07:00] <scguy318> buzzsaw: sudo make install, since make will write to directories owned by root
[07:00] <peterbilt> RandomOutburst - lose the space
[07:01] <scguy318> Reng: ditto her
[07:01] <tntCry> any app that can by pass uni ports in ubuntu :( comon its linux..
[07:01] <buzzsaw> ok so then   ./configure make    sudo make install
[07:01] <RandomOutburst> so umount/dev/hd1 ?
[07:01] <scguy318> RandomOutburst: umount /dev/hdd1
[07:01] <emja> RandomOutburst: umount  /dev/hd1
[07:01] <emja> snap
[07:01] <scguy318> RandomOutburst: I don't think it's hd1 :P
[07:01] <emja> yeah, that too. ;-)
[07:02] <RandomOutburst> why not scguy318?
[07:02] <kryptik_> this winedbg thing might just work.... is the a way to set BP
[07:02] <kryptik_> or would i need to dissasmeble first or something
[07:02] <RandomOutburst> ok....
[07:02] <RandomOutburst> im a freakin idiot
[07:02] <RandomOutburst> hda
[07:02] <peterbilt> RandomOutburst - it should be /dev/hdd  or /dev/sda  more likely
[07:02] <scguy318> kryptik_: its supposed to be modeled after gdb or something, I'm clueless at that so
[07:03] <tntCry> guys any app that can by pass university ports which stops people from doing things forexample slow loading on youtube vids , pidgin cant connect ,. but msn messenger* ( windows ) can..
[07:03] <emja> RandomOutburst: welcome to the club
[07:03] <RandomOutburst> haha
[07:03]  * emja grins
[07:03] <RandomOutburst> thanks
[07:03] <scguy318> tntCry: SSH out to your home machine, use Tor
[07:03] <kryptik_> ok... ty for the advice though
[07:03] <scguy318> tntCry: though TOr is slow
[07:03] <peterbilt> RandomOutburst - it should be /dev/hdb for example
[07:03] <scguy318> tntCry: or find a SOCKS or HTTP proxy
[07:03] <tntCry> scguy318, what is ssh :?
[07:03] <scguy318> tntCry: Secure Shell
[07:03] <scguy318> tntCry: one of its features is TCP forwarding
[07:03] <tntCry> how do we do that scguy318
[07:03] <scguy318> tntCry: you'll need another machine to run sshd
[07:03] <Fezzler> crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 224 2007-11-25 00:48 /dev/ttyd0 ????

[07:05] <ubotu> sohi: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up
[07:05] <RandomOutburst> tntCry, yes and then you can go to prison :)
[07:05] <tntCry> scguy318, i dunno its a University proxy which has port blocking ect.. .. but only accepts surfing and MSN MESSENGER , however with pidgins and amsn and kopete cant connect ... i can do surfing tho
[07:05] <mohkohn> 3 hours to apt-get xubuntu-desktop :(
[07:06] <crazy6> so, what's the deal with my sound not working?
[07:06] <scguy318> tntCry: on Windows is MSN Messenger set to go through a proxy or the like?
[07:06] <sohi> thank you
[07:06] <tntCry> RandomOutburst, no prison in this university , if i can hack and get my degree's i might send you a gift
[07:06] <m0u5e> how do i start another xsession for a different display?
[07:06] <mohkohn> crazy6, alsamixer?
[07:06] <scguy318> tntCry: at my high school, I just SSH home to my machine and browse as I please
[07:06] <tntCry> just normal scguy318  , i installed msn messenger and then signed in and it worked in windows
[07:06] <scguy318> tntCry: hmm
[07:07] <Fezzler> Is ttyd0 a com port while I'm trying to open ttyUSB0.  Is that the problem?
[07:07] <neil_d> hi, I am trying to create a 'static' executable when using gcc normally my program compiles and links, when I add the '-static' keyword to the gcc link cycle, I get lots of error messages like "undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock'" how do I fix this ?
[07:07] <scguy318> Fezzler: change ttyd0 to ttyUSB0 or w/e
[07:07] <scguy318> Fezzler: in the command I mentioned
[07:07] <tntCry> you think ssh home can work>
[07:07] <crazy6> mohkohn: everything is turned up...
[07:07] <scguy318> tntCry: sure
[07:07] <scguy318> tntCry: the home machine needs to run sshd
[07:08] <tntCry> how do i connec to it? because i cant even connect with IRC in theyr
[07:08] <sohi> if i install some software in add/remove application ....  is my memory low speed?
[07:08] <mohkohn> ok crazy6 I am just trying the obvious. It happened to me once.
[07:08] <scguy318> tntCry: use an SSH client, have the sshd listen on port 80 or 443
[07:08] <Radi01> How do I get root privileges for firestarter.
[07:08] <scguy318> tntCry: connect to the sshd through those ports
[07:08] <Fezzler> I'm running a ./teeny-linux program that copies a BASIC file from the com port to the RS232 on my other computer
[07:08] <tntCry> will it load youtube quicker>?
[07:08] <scguy318> Radi01: why do you need that? its just a frontend
[07:09] <crazy6> mohkohn: yeah... hrm.. it's plugged in, speakers work (verified with PSP), I trying muting & unmuting everything that has that option
[07:09] <crazy6> wah wah
[07:09] <bullgard4> I have two laptop computers with Ubuntu 7.10. One has a directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.4/ . Why doesn't have the other it as well?
[07:09] <scguy318> tntCry: hopefully sure
[07:09] <tntCry> download speed is down to 15 kb
[07:09] <Fezzler> But I'm using a USB-to-Serial cable ttyUSB0
[07:09] <tntCry> its weird in this university
[07:09] <tntCry> they have technology up the A$$
[07:09] <scguy318> Fezzler: sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0
[07:09] <scguy318> tntCry: then after you connect in through SSH
[07:09] <scguy318> tntCry: add a dynamic port forward, thats your local SOCKS proxy
[07:09] <scguy318> tntCry: then point programs to that forward
[07:09] <scguy318> !ssh | tntCry
[07:09] <ubotu> tntCry: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[07:09] <scguy318> and I'm tired
[07:10] <scguy318> so I don't feel like talking more :(
[07:10] <Fezzler> I think the problem is the ./teeny-linux is trying to open a com port (ttyd0) while the cable is on ttyUSB0??
[07:10] <mohkohn> If it gets beyond the obvious I am not much help to you. There is a sound troubleshooting doc in the wiki
[07:10] <Radi01> !firestarter
[07:10] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[07:10] <tntCry> but i hope you could explain it to me quicker scguy318
[07:10] <scguy318> Fezzler: symlink it
[07:10] <tntCry> i add dynamic port on my ssh client to my ssh dedicated server?
[07:10] <scguy318> tntCry: yep
[07:10] <scguy318> tntCry: then point programs to that dynamic port
[07:11] <scguy318> and ubotu's tidbit is a slight lie, PuTTY works on Linux too
[07:11] <tntCry> sio i must go to my pidgin se  t tings and change it ?
[07:11] <Fezzler> symlink?
[07:11] <tntCry> to my Ssh setting?
[07:11] <scguy318> Fezzler: yeah, like
[07:11] <toresn> hmm, i would like to have my xorg.conf cleaned up a bit... i've run the "Screens and graphics" tool a few times... can anyone help with this?
[07:11] <tntCry> you mean all the app's > settings of my ssh and my ssh > to my dedicated SSH ?
[07:11] <Fezzler> can I get ttyd0 re-mapped to ttyUSB0 temporarily?
[07:12] <tntCry> i hope it works
[07:12] <scguy318> Fezzler: yeah, through a symlink, you would do like
[07:12] <Fezzler> so the ./teeny program think ttyUSB is ttyd0?
[07:12] <scguy318> Fezzler: ln -s /dev/ttyd0 /dev/ttyUSB0
[07:12] <scguy318> Fezzler: like that
[07:12] <demon_spork> someone say my name please
[07:12] <neil_d> hi, I am trying to create a 'static' executable when using gcc normally my program compiles and links, when I add the '-static' keyword to the gcc link cycle, I get lots of error messages like "undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock'" how do I fix this ?
[07:12] <scguy318> tntCry: yeah
[07:13] <CapaH> Is there anyone here who knows how to get a Netgear PCI Wireless card to work? WPN311 --- Ubuntu "out of the box" sees the hardware, but I cannot connect to my access point. My access point is a linksys wireless router --- can anyone help me?
[07:13] <neil_d> demon_spork,
[07:13] <scguy318> tntCry: I'm too tired to speak more
[07:13] <scguy318> CapaH: what chipset? I guess you're my last question before bedtime
[07:13] <tntCry> you need a hot tea on the balcony with a cig
[07:13] <scguy318> tntCry: no cigs for me that would be illegal :P
[07:14] <RandomOutburst> black tea i would recommend
[07:14] <jscinoz> Ubuntu is completely hanging (ie. sysrq or ctrl-alt-bksp do nothing) whenever i open multiple programs without waiting between opening each, what causes this and how can i fix it?
[07:14] <tntCry> illegal scguy318 ? how old are you
[07:14] <Fezzler> ln: creating symbolic link `/dev/ttyUSB0' to `/dev/ttyd0': File exists ??
[07:14] <scguy318> tntCry: like 15
[07:14] <Fezzler> still no go
[07:14] <tntCry> damn !!!
[07:14] <scguy318> Fezzler: sudo rm /dev/ttyd0
[07:14] <tntCry> im impressed scguy318
[07:15] <buzzsaw> um one last question how do i change my resalution?
[07:15] <scguy318> Fezzler: and I think I got the ln backwards
[07:15] <Fezzler> still getting I don't have permission for ttyd0
[07:15] <jscinoz> fezzler, try sudo su first, then rm /dev/ttyd0
[07:15] <tntCry> you could be a great hacker if you stick with linux
[07:15] <neil_d> buzzsaw, in 7.10 from the System->Preferences->Screen Resolution
[07:15] <scguy318> Fezzler: then do like
[07:15] <magic_ninja> is agp backwards compatible, i wanna upgrade my card, but all the new agp cards are 8x and my mobo is 4x
[07:16] <scguy318> Fezzler: ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyd0 or w/e it was
[07:16] <RandomOutburst> just upgrade your mobo magic_ninja
[07:16] <magic_ninja> RandomOutburst: no reason too, i'm building a new computer in a few months, i just want to spend a couple hundred upgrading this one
[07:16] <RandomOutburst> spend about $110 and get a new mobo and vid card
[07:16] <RandomOutburst> ahh
[07:16] <scguy318> CapaH: ?
[07:17] <Fezzler> rm: cannot remove `/dev/ttyd0': No such file or directory
[07:17] <scguy318> CapaH: um, if you dont know what chipset
[07:17] <scguy318> Fezzler: my mistake, that should be
[07:17] <foureyes779> Fezzler: try ttyD0
[07:17] <tntCry> scguy318, i hope you all the best in the future , dont lose this opportunity and have some juice , i recommend Coconut juice with milkshake , or banana shake , they have magnisium and vitamines b1 b2 b6 and this gives the best relaxing aroma ,.. more better then nicotine feel
[07:17] <toresn> hmm, i would like to have my xorg.conf cleaned up a bit... i've run the "Screens and graphics" tool a few times... can anyone help with this?
[07:17] <Fezzler> scguy: I'm nervous being in root
[07:17] <scguy318> tntCry: lol thanks :)
[07:18] <Fezzler> sudo su put me in root
[07:18] <scguy318> Fezzler: I know
[07:18] <Fezzler> can I, should I get out of root now
[07:18] <dinop007> hi someone know how to delete dead links from applications?
[07:18] <scguy318> Fezzler: if you want, though we're not done yet
[07:18] <Fezzler> ok, now what
[07:18] <scguy318> Fezzler: rm /dev/ttyd0 no work? i have that device on my ting

[07:21] <scguy318> Fezzler: ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyd0
[07:21] <scguy318> !sparc | brainfault
[07:21] <ubotu> brainfault: Have a look here for Docs http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/sparc/ KnownIssues and TODO are on the wiki.
[07:21] <toresn> hmm, i would like to have my xorg.conf cleaned up a bit... i've run the "Screens and graphics" tool a few times... can anyone help with this?  i'm running an external screen with my laptop whose screen is disabled when external monitor is connected
[07:21] <brainfault> there's a server for UltraSparc T1 architecture !
[07:22] <crazy6> man,I am going to have to reinstall gentoo just to get sound back, that's rough
[07:22] <dinop007> i deleted program with synaptic but the short cut still exist and i want to delete the dead short cut
[07:22] <scguy318> Fezzler: then go ahead and exit the root shell
[07:22] <graelin> REng: Do you have the NVidia new restricted driver installed?
[07:22] <RandomOutburst> dino007 click on it and hit delete?
[07:23] <brainfault> ubotu: thanks going to check

[07:25] <neil_d> dinop007, you don't have a right mouse button ?
[07:25] <Radi01> How do I get root privileges for firestarter.
[07:25] <graelin> dinop007: Then drag it to trash (lower right)
[07:25] <rhs> Radi01: sudo firestarter
[07:25] <Radi01> k thanks
[07:25] <neil_d> Radi01, you can get a root terminal by using 'sudo su -' and enter password.

[07:27] <bmt4> what happened ?
[07:28] <dinop007> still dont work btw i use 64 bit linux
[07:28] <|thunder> bmt2; lamp is just linux, apache, mysql, and php.
[07:28] <Fezzler> scguy: That did it!
[07:28] <graelin> thunder: Thats Listen
[07:28] <bmt4> i was asking a question all of a sudden i was looking at a blank terminal
[07:28] <CaptainMorgan> get these spammers and filth out of this channel
[07:28] <Fezzler> Awesome
[07:28] <|thunder> graelin; thanks. wasnt sure
[07:28] <ActySofts> hello
[07:28] <bmt4> |thunder: but how do you set it up..how do you comfirm that you have it set up ?
[07:29] <dinop007> i cant drug it to the trash it is on the applications up in the tools bar
[07:29] <ActySofts> can anybody help me turn off the system beep in xubuntu? (on #xubuntu nobody answers)
[07:29] <bmt4> also does anyone know the difference in regards to LAMP "deployment" vs "development"
[07:29] <CaptainMorgan> thank you ompaul
[07:29] <Fezzler> scguy: Do I need to reset anything regarding ttyd0 or ttyUSB0?
[07:29] <ComPro> can anyone explain what would make the fglrx driver not function at all after a simple reboot?
[07:29] <|thunder> ActySofts; i only know in gnome, its in prefs/sound
[07:29] <mohkohn> #xubuntu
[07:30] <mohkohn> oops
[07:30] <RandomOutburst> ComPro: satan
[07:30] <graelin> dinop007: Try reinstalling using synaptic then uninstalling it using the remove completely option
[07:30] <CapaH> I have a NETGEAR PCI Wireless card, and it wont work. Ubuntu says it recognizes/sees the hardware -- restricted driver "In use" and "Enabled" --- but I cannot connect to my network! Can anyone here, please, help? I have been trying to figure this out for three days.
[07:30] <RandomOutburst> no not really, sorry, i have no idea
[07:30] <ComPro> haha very funny
[07:30] <ComPro> lol
[07:30] <raz0r> it's all a barrel of monkies
[07:30] <crazy6> I can't seem to read data from my data drive (ext3); do I need to add a umask of some kind to fstab or is there a more kosher way of doing it?
[07:30] <raz0r> i just like to pick the ones that don't talk until they have to say something useful
[07:30] <ompaul> ComPro, you got a new kernel?
[07:30] <CapaH> I type: iwconfig ath0 essid linksys3  -- then I type iwconfig and it shows ESSID: linksys3 but it says: "Not-Associated" also, I do not know how to fix this
[07:31] <scguy318> CapaH: use ndiswrapper
[07:31] <ComPro> no. im running the latest ubuntu - gutsy
[07:31] <whereswaldo> hey everyone! Im having a bit of a sound problem, its really quiet and static-y. I read about an Intel soundcard related problem, but I dont think mine is one
[07:31] <scguy318> CapaH: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto
[07:31] <Fezzler> scguy: Do I need to reset anything regarding ttyd0 or ttyUSB0?
[07:31] <scguy318> Fezzler: reset? dont think so
[07:31] <bmt4> CapaH: i have integrated wireless on my laptop, and i had no problem...did you check on : system > administration > network ?
[07:31] <ompaul> ComPro, well the other option is that it did not work before - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg do that in a terminal and see what you get back
[07:31] <Fezzler> meaning undo some of our synklinks?
[07:31] <|thunder> crazy6; see if you can read from it if mounting it manually. umount /dev/hda1 then mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /media/dataorwhatever
[07:31] <mohkohn> is there anywhere to get a precompiled 2.6.23 kernel?
[07:32] <Radi01> I have firestarter installed..but it keeps asking for root privileges to start it.
[07:32] <mohkohn> prepackaged I mean.
[07:32] <Fezzler> okay, do I need to do anything to get out of root in Terminal or just close it?
[07:32] <ompaul> !rootsudo | Radi01
[07:32] <ubotu> Radi01: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:32] <cdm10> Does anyone here use Ekiga?
[07:32] <Radi01> k
[07:32] <graelin> cdm10: I have it installed and enabled, but never actually used it
[07:33] <ComPro> ompaul: i've run the reconfigure before. i reset it all back to defaults. when i first installed, it defaulted to vesa. it told me to install the restricted drivers. i did so. that worked fine. now today i reboot and i can work with vesa, but not fglrx anymore.
[07:33] <cdm10> graelin: and, it worked?
[07:33] <cdm10> graelin: like, you could log into your ekiga account and make a test call?
[07:33] <crazy6> |thunder: oh, actually, it's some freak file that has minimal permissions set on it... whoops!
[07:34] <scguy318> Fezzler: just exit
[07:34] <neil_d> hi, I am trying to create a 'static' executable when using gcc normally my program compiles and links, when I add the '-static' keyword to the gcc link cycle, I get lots of error messages like "undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock'" how do I fix this ?
[07:34] <Fezzler> great.  thanks so much
[07:34] <ompaul> ComPro, and you tried the "restricted driver manager" again today - if it works you did install updates and they got in the way of whatever
[07:35] <ompaul> neil_d, ask in #gcc
[07:35] <scguy318> Fezzler: and you have nothing else to do, thats the only symlink we made anyway
[07:35] <|thunder> crazy6; :) chmod 755 ./file
[07:35] <Fezzler> Now I have my old Tandy Model 102 exchanging files with Ubuntu over a USB-to-Serial connection.  Awesome
[07:35] <neil_d> ompaul, ok
[07:35] <ComPro> ompaul: yes, i have. and it doesn't work.
[07:35] <Gatestone> I use repo.freecreations.info but I don't find the signing key?
[07:35] <ompaul> ComPro, so I guess you updated something that does not like it
[07:35] <rhs> Fezzler: what's the use of this ?
[07:35] <CapaH> scguy318: Hey thanks for your help. Before I use ndiswrapper do I somehow have to disable Ubuntu's built in drivers for this? If so, how do I do so
[07:36] <ComPro> ompaul: i touched nothing.
[07:36] <ompaul> Gatestone, ask the people who maintain that repo for instructions we don't support non ubuntu repos
[07:36] <Naisenu> What is the smallest size Ubuntu can take up on a drive?
[07:36] <Gatestone> ...and that's why update manager complains. It is not really tell what repo is the problem, so the warning is kind of scary...
[07:37] <scguy318> CapaH: you will do that in the course of following the guide
[07:37] <Fezzler> rhs: Tandy Model 102 only has 32k ram, so Ubuntu acts as huge storage device via the RS232 port
[07:37] <scguy318> Naisenu: minimum is like 2 GB, not really that usable
[07:37] <scguy318> Naisenu: 2.5 GB
[07:37] <scguy318> Naisenu: thats for the OS and packages
[07:37] <Naisenu> What is the smallest port of Ubuntu in any of it's related flavours?
[07:37] <scguy318> Gatestone: the warning can be ignored
[07:37] <rhs> Fezzler: so much fun it seems ;)
[07:37] <Gatestone> ompaul: The update manager should anyway be fixed. It should tell, which repo is the problem, and allow me to install only those upgrades trhat are signerd
[07:38] <scguy318> Gatestone: it's a good idea to ask the repo maintainer for a key
[07:38] <CapaH> scguy318: Ok great, I will do that now thanks for your help -- hope it works
[07:38] <ompaul> Gatestone, no it has to be flexable and your world view is broken cos sometimes packages are made without gpg keys
[07:38] <Gatestone> I was just wandering if I could fix it right noe
[07:38] <Fezzler> rhs: yes, I enjoy retro computing as well as learning linux via Ubuntu.  I like making older technology useful today
[07:39] <bmt4> i just tried to upgrade to 7.10 and got this message : Failed to fetch http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
[07:39] <bmt4> can anyone help ?
[07:39] <scguy318> bmt4: remove that repo from your sources.list
[07:39] <scguy318> or
[07:39] <Gatestone> ompaul: basic desing criteria is always: be flexible in your input requirements, be conservative in your output specs..

[07:40] <Naisenu> One other question, are there any guides for "how to share a drive?"
[07:40] <wers> other than that scguy318 :D
[07:40] <scguy318> wers: it might actually conform to the look and feel of your desktop
[07:40] <scguy318> wers: you know, themes and all
[07:40] <scguy318> wers: OO doesn't
[07:41] <wers> yeah. that's the reason why it's what I'm using right now. hehehe
[07:41] <rhs> Naisenu: sharing with windows or linux ?
[07:41] <ompaul> Gatestone, I don't agree with you that the program is at fault - if the repo builder had put in keys no worries would be had they did not - you need information and if you still feel that is a bug go to launchpad.net and report it as such
[07:41] <wers> I just want to know what to expect with Abiword
[07:41] <bmt4> the sources.list is located ?
[07:41] <Naisenu> rhs: Linux.
[07:41] <r4d10h4x> reason 4. anyone?
[07:42] <neil_d> bmt4, /etc/apt
[07:42] <ompaul> !nfs | Naisenu
[07:42] <ubotu> Naisenu: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[07:42] <Naisenu> rhs: If it wasn't apparent from the original question. Networked
[07:42] <wers> I mean, I want to know the features that Abiword has that oowriter doesn't and vice versa
[07:42] <bmt4> r4d10h4x: are you talking about the studio software ?
[07:42] <bmt4> neil_d: thanks
[07:42] <r4d10h4x> bmt4 yes
[07:42] <Naisenu> Thanks. Considering I didn't know the terms to look for, I wasn't finding anything of use :)
[07:43] <bmt4> r4d10h4x:what OS are you using ?
[07:43] <r4d10h4x> 7.10 64bit
[07:43] <cdm10> Does anyone know what I can do to fix this error message from ekiga?: Registration Failed: Forbidden
[07:43] <bmt4> r4d10h4x: damn didn't know they made reason for linux...interesting
[07:43] <bmt4> that new to me
[07:43] <r4d10h4x> cdm10: change ip
[07:43] <bmt4> then again i have not used reason in a while
[07:44] <r4d10h4x> it runs through wine and when i use keygen it says key is wrong format
[07:44] <cdm10> r4d10h4x: which IP?-
[07:45] <r4d10h4x> cdm10: the one u connect with
[07:45] <bmt4> r4d10h4x: is keygen a .exe file ?
[07:45] <r4d10h4x> yes
[07:45] <cdm10> r4d10h4x: I can't change my IP.
[07:45] <whereswaldo> So, hey my sound is really quiet and static-y, I read about a problem with Intel sound chipsets but lspci | grep audio -i gives me ¨nvidia¨
[07:45] <kpxantal> hi all, any openoffice expert onboard?
[07:45] <r4d10h4x> cdm10: call ur isp
[07:45] <r4d10h4x> lol
[07:46] <cdm10> r4d10h4x: Is that supposed to be funny? My IP has nothing to do with whether I can connect or not...
[07:46] <r4d10h4x> try reinstall
[07:46] <cdm10> r4d10h4x: i've gotten this error across 4 different Ubuntu releases, reinstalling won't help.
[07:47] <r4d10h4x> cdm10: i cant help you
[07:47] <scguy318> cdm10: might be something with the SIP
[07:47] <bmt4> can anyone give me that url to (re)generate the sources.list ?
[07:47] <scguy318> !source-o-matic | bmt4
[07:47] <ubotu> bmt4: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[07:47] <cdm10> r4d10h4x: well, at least you admit it.
[07:47] <r4d10h4x> :)
[07:47] <bmt4> ubotu: thanks
[07:47] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[07:48] <cdm10> scguy318: ISP, or SIP? Both have the same letters, and both have something to do with what I'm trying to do :)
[07:48] <scguy318> cdm10: SIP
[07:48] <scguy318> cdm10: probably something up with your SIP, I can't elaborate further unfortunately
[07:48] <cdm10> scguy318: I don't have a SIP... I have a SIP client, and a SIP account... but no SIP.
[07:49] <rhs> scguy318: is there a list of commands to help others  somewhere ?
[07:49] <cdm10> I'm not sure what you mean by a SIP.

[07:50] <bmt4> i just generated a new souces.list..i assume i am replacing the exact same sources.list file that located in the etc/apt area ?
[07:50] <cdm10> bmt4: yep, but I'd back up the old one first
[07:50] <cdm10> Ah, fixed it
[07:50] <cdm10> I changed my password... some guy in the forums said that changing the password helped, and it did.
[07:53] <Radi01> ompaul: i am using kubuntu/I have firestarter installed/When i start firestarter it keeps telling me (wrong) pass word.
[07:53] <malnilion> I'm running with customized Desktop Effects and every time I log in my windows are skinned by default with emerald.  I can remedy this with running gtk-window-manager --replace, but I want a better solution.  Is there some configuration option somewhere to change it to start with gtk skinned windows in the first place?
[07:53] <ompaul> Radi01, your password - try that - if not I don't know how you set it up
[07:53] <ompaul> !firestarter | Radi01
[07:53] <ubotu> Radi01: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[07:54] <Radi01> It tells me I dont have root privys..and Ive done everything..oi.
[07:54] <neil_d> hi, I am trying to create a 'static' (.so files) executable when using gcc normally my program compiles and links, when I add the '-static' keyword to the gcc link cycle, I get lots of error messages like "undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock'" how do I fix this ?
[07:55] <rhs> Radi01: what have you done ?
[07:55] <Radi01> su/gksudo/sudo -i  U name it
[07:55] <ompaul> Radi01, how did you install it?
[07:56] <Radi01> add remove
[07:57] <Radi01> I have used Ubuntu and had no problems/Now I am trying Kubuntu it acts funky
[07:58] <ompaul> Radi01, use guarddog in its place
[07:58] <Radi01> Is it comparable?
[07:59] <rhs> Radi01: have you tried doing something that needs root privilege, like changing fstab ?
[07:59] <Radi01> no
[07:59] <kwtm> How do I know which file contains a font that I am interested in, such as "Sans Serif"?  (Not "Lucida San Serif" or "Bitstream Vera Sans", but just "Sans Serif".)  No file matches that exact name under /usr/share/fonts/truetype.
[07:59] <rhs> Radi01: see if you can do it
[08:00] <emja> tntCry: thx for your advice earlier. the openoffice problem ended up being rpc.statd not starting on the server.
[08:00] <Radi01> when i got root i  tried to start firestarter  and it says it needed a make install-
[08:01] <rhs> Radi01: how did you install it ?
[08:01] <ompaul> Radi01, you have not installed it correctly you are trying to compile it -- this is a package based distro you don't have to install from source. Do this: sudo apt-get install firestarter
[08:02] <Arelis>  When i try to add a printer in the printers dialog of KDE, the add printer option is grayed out. Why is it grayed out, and what do i need to install? (I didn't install kubuntu-desktop, but kde-core)
[08:02] <Arelis> (#kubuntu is empty, no-one is answering)
[08:02] <malnilion> Ah, it was probably asking for root privileges for the make install step :P
[08:02] <Radi01> add remove  because adept didnt respond..U think my disk might be bad?
[08:02] <cdm10> Can anyone here using SIP of any sort help me test Ekiga?
[08:02] <raz0r> who likes to time travel
[08:02] <Radi01> il try brb
[08:02] <scrapbunny> is there a way to run quicktime in ubuntu?
[08:02] <ompaul> Radi01, no idea you might have corrupted your install in some way - best thing there is to back up your data and install freshly if you you want to test
[08:03] <ompaul> !quicktime | scrapbunny
[08:03] <ubotu> scrapbunny: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[08:03] <Radi01> k ompaul/thanks...1 thing though..the first time i installed kubuntu it worked flawlessly..interesting
[08:04] <scrapbunny> i am trying to run a program in wine that requires quicktime7
[08:04]  * malnilion thinks one can install quicktime codecs with wine
[08:05] <ompaul> Radi01, then something has broken and ehh you need to work out what it is - sounds like you are unsure of what you have so I would strongly suggest, back up your data and reinstall - if it breaks again randomly then consider a new disk
[08:05] <Radi01> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[08:05] <ompaul> Radi01, you did break your system do sudo dpkg --configure -a and see how you are then
[08:06] <Radi01> k
[08:06] <malnilion> scrapbunny, you might try installing quicktime alternative w/ wine
[08:06] <scrapbunny> thanks will do
[08:06] <CapaH> I just finished setting up ndiswrapper for my Netgear WPN311 PCI WiFi card. Unfortunately, it is still not working. ndiswrapper -l shows that it is installed correctly, device present -- however tail /var/log/messages says: ath0: Link not ready --- what do I do?
[08:08] <whereswaldo> hey can anyone help me with my sound issue
[08:08] <ubunturos> whereswaldo: post your issue, may be someone could help
[08:09] <Whyvas> anyone alive?
[08:09] <whereswaldo> ubunturos: I have a few times haha

[08:09] <whereswaldo> hey my sound is really quiet and static-y, I read about a problem with Intel sound chipsets but lspci | grep audio -i gives me ¨nvidia¨
[08:09] <ompaul> !sound | whereswaldo
[08:09] <ubotu> whereswaldo: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[08:10] <Whyvas> any howto's for gutsy on a g4?
[08:10] <ubunturos>  s / bugs / lag
[08:11] <whereswaldo> hey thanks, I´ve got ALSA mixer selected but I´ll check out this other stuff, thanks again
[08:12] <malnilion> Heh, great, I was looking for a g4 guide for him too, lol
[08:13] <Whyvas> nigga please!
[08:14] <malnilion> Whyvas, first of all, you know which CD iso to get, right?
[08:14] <Whyvas> yes
[08:14] <Whyvas> do you?
[08:14] <malnilion> The powerpc-alternate install disc
[08:14] <Whyvas> WOW!
[08:15] <magic_ninja> when i set my cpu to run at 1.47 ghz it doesn't restart itself from overheating like it used to when it overheated, however it does hang when the kernel begins to load
[08:15] <malnilion> Whyvas, from there I don't know offhand what to do because I haven't gone through installing linux on a G4 or any other mac
[08:15] <malnilion> But I'm looking for a guide
[08:15] <rhs> Whyvas: found this http://pinguin.uni-psych.gwdg.de/~ihrke/wiki/index.php/Installing_Ubuntu_on_iBook
[08:16] <chanwk> hello
[08:16] <ompaul> !bootoptions | magic_ninja
[08:16] <ubotu> magic_ninja: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[08:17] <Pyrobyte> heya, i have heard there is a program that allows you to make use of the extra buttons on some mice, but i can't remember the name of it, does anyone know the name?
[08:17] <magic_ninja> ompaul: do you think its a config issue
[08:17] <ompaul> magic_ninja, not booting is generally overcome by "noapic nolapic"
[08:17] <ompaul> magic_ninja, as per that page
[08:18] <magic_ninja> ompaul: it freezes at the part, right after grub loads the kernel when it says "starting up" the blinking underscore sets there and blinks
[08:18] <malnilion> rhs, for Whyvas sake do you happen to know if gparted can resize an HFS or HFS+ partition?
[08:19] <rhs> malnilion: nope
[08:19] <ompaul> magic_ninja, as I said  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[08:19] <z0rz> If I play any streamed (over the local network) in full scren (VLC, Toem, or MPlayer) ... it skips every 3 seconds (fora bout 1 minetu) ... how can I fix this?
[08:19] <magic_ninja> ompaul: when i set the proc to run at 1.1 in bios it runs fine, but when i set it to run at 1.47 it doesn't, just making sure this is a probable fix
[08:20] <Whyvas> my toes smell like puss
[08:20] <ompaul> magic_ninja, are you overclocking by any change
[08:20] <whta> ok i just reinstalled and i want to make sure i do everything properly here. first off, i enabled the restricted ATI driver and restarted. now compiz isn't working. what do i need to do to get it back on?
[08:20] <magic_ninja> ompaul: no sir my processor is supposed to run at 1.47 ghz, but in bios i get the options to run at 1.1 or 1.47
[08:21] <Ubuntu_Rocks> ompaul: (Radi01): My disk was bad/Every time I installed kubuntu it always gave me errors on the 1rst update..sorry to take you through all that,and thanks for your help.
[08:21] <campa> hola
[08:21] <z0rz> Anyone?
[08:21] <malnilion> Whyvas, according to this feature chart: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php it appears you can resize your MacOS partition with Gnome Partition Editor.  Therefore when you run your installation CD you should be able to resize your partition and add a Linux partition to install Ubuntu on.
[08:22] <campa> alguien habla espa;ol_
[08:22] <rhs> Whyvas has been kicked
[08:22] <malnilion> Ah
[08:22] <ompaul> magic_ninja, well then I guess you don't want to run at 1.47 check your fans and stuff - but tbh that sounds more like hardware
[08:22] <malnilion> 'cause his toes stunk I reckon
[08:22] <ompaul> !es | campa
[08:22] <ubotu> campa: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda.
[08:22] <malnilion> Or maybe his attitude :)
[08:23] <magic_ninja> ompaul: not sure if its hardware it used to run fine but i let my comp set for a while then it wouldn't run at 1.47
[08:23] <campa> ok, muchas gracias, que tengan buenas noches
[08:23] <bullgard4> I have two laptop computers with Ubuntu 7.10. One has a directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.4/ . Why doesn't have the other it as well?
[08:23] <ompaul> magic_ninja, then it looks like you got hardware issues, would you concur?
[08:23] <magic_ninja> ompaul: its a possibility, but if my cpu or mobo gets too hot my comp automatically reboots
[08:24] <tongueroo> is there a way to make the change the load path, even for sudo, when i do a sudo which mongrel_rails it doesnt show up because the path is /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/mongrel_rails?
[08:24] <z0rz> If I play any streamed video (over the local network) in full screen (VLC, Toem, or MPlayer) ... it skips every 3 seconds (for about 1 minute) ... how can I fix this?
[08:24] <tongueroo> ive tried export PATH=/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin:$PATH in .profile and .bashrc
[08:24] <magic_ninja> ompaul: as long as noacpi will not affect that saftey feature i'll give it a shot
[08:24] <tongueroo> but sudo which mongrel_rails still shows up blank
[08:25] <J_5> I installed imagemagick, where does it install to? what is the path?
[08:25] <CapaH> Can anyone please help me? For over three days I am trying to get wireless to work on my desktop. I have purchased FOUR different wireless adapters, three of them USB and one PCI --- and NOTHING WORKS. The closest I can come is I can iwlist scan, and I can iwconfig ... essid linksys3 --- but I CANNOT CONNECT. Can anyone help me with this? please?
[08:25] <emja> I read through the faq re audio problems (which ompaul pointed whereswaldo to) and found that my audio devices (dev/snd/* /dev/audio /dev/mixer) are owned by root.audio and perms 660. should I fix this in rc.local or is there a more 'correct' way of fixing this?
[08:25] <rhs> bullgard1: seems you have the kernel source on one and not the other, you can install it
[08:25] <ompaul> magic_ninja, it turns off stuff at bios level I would not do it - and if your hardware is rebooting regularly due to too much heat you should get new fans
[08:26] <ompaul> emja, now I suggest you are ready for the alsa people in #alsa if you have that info to hand they can advise you better
[08:26] <emja> ompaul: many thanks
[08:26] <rhs> bullgard4: just install the kernel source on the other
[08:27] <ompaul> CapaH, the drivers being managed by either ndiswrapper or madwifi I suggest you look at the page the bot will send you and do some madwifi stuff
[08:27] <ompaul> !madwifi > CapaH
[08:27]  * ompaul heads off to mapping party
[08:28] <bullgard4> rhs: There is no DEB program package 'kernel-source'. What DEB program package do you mean precisely?
[08:28] <tongueroo> funny, $ sudo echo $PATH
[08:28] <CapaH> ompaul: I have tried both and both are not working
[08:28] <tongueroo> returns: /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin:/usr/java/jdk/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
[08:28] <tongueroo> but $ sudo which mongrel_rails, still doesnt show up mongrel_rails ...
[08:28] <CapaH> ompaul: I have been struggling with this for days -- I have read everything I can read
[08:29] <ompaul> CapaH, I have to go - I will say, take a break and then do madwifi setup - it works when ndiswrapper fails
[08:29] <MooCows> Hello, I was thinking about setting up a dual boot , I have 2 partitions on this HD right now, one is a small 10 GB partition
[08:29] <rhs> bullgard4: it's called linux-source
[08:29] <MooCows> Would that be good enough to install Ubuntu for testing
[08:30] <magic_ninja> ompaul: the good news: it bypassed the spot where it normally hangs, bad news: my comp restarts so ty i need a new heatsink
[08:31] <MooCows> Also, how would I set it up to dual boot?
[08:31] <J_5> I installed imagemagick, where does it install to? what is the path?
[08:31] <MooCows> So that it doesn't damange the windows side
[08:31] <rhs> MooCows: 10 GB is enough just for testing
[08:32] <rhs> MooCows: ubuntu detects your other OS and adds a menu at startup
[08:32] <MooCows> rhs,  by itself ?
[08:32] <rhs> MooCows: yes
[08:33] <MooCows> So I don't have to do any fancy stuff with lilo (Or whatever) ?  I had to do a bunch of junk back in Mandrake for lilo to work out when I was dual booting Win98SE
[08:33] <happy_broccoli> how can i lock down a box so that only port 22 and port 80 are visible?
[08:33] <happy_broccoli> from the linux box itself
[08:34] <rhs> MooCows: ubuntu installs grub (which replaces lilo) automatically
[08:34] <CapaH> How can I utterly uninstall the madwifi drivers? They seem to be conflicting with ndiswrapper even when I blacklist ath_pci and ath_hal
[08:35] <MooCows> OK , so pretty much all I should have to do is move the data off the other parition, go and install Ubuntu on the smaller partition , and make sure it's going to use it, and I should be fine for booting XP AND Ubuntu ?
[08:35] <z0rz> If I play any streamed video (over the local network) in full screen (VLC, Toem, or MPlayer) ... it skips every 3 seconds (for about 1 minute) ... how can I fix this?
[08:36] <rhs> MooCows: read the documentation first for installing, and at installation choose to partition manually
[08:36] <jimmy_> Hi everyone, does anyone know how to forward ports in Ubuntu 7.10?
[08:36] <rhs> MooCows: I'm going to find some doc for you
[08:36] <UnNaturalHigh> jimmy_, iptables
[08:37] <gandhii> why is that when I check the ckeckbox to make a user part of a group that the setting doesn't actually set?  ie..  when I say ok and open it back up..  the checked user is no longer checked,,
[08:38] <r4d10h4x> my window decorations just disappeared randomly. emerald themer not working either. and reboot says it is on time mode.... WTF!?
[08:38] <jimmy_> UnNaturalhigh, thanks! I have iptables installed, how do I use it?
[08:38] <gandhii> does the System/Adminstration/Users and Groups settings application not work?  Or am I not using it correctly?
[08:38] <UnNaturalHigh> gandhii, you could manually add them to the group <ALT+F2>, in the run dialog type: sudo gedit /etc/group
[08:39] <krimx> Is there a way to adjust how often the time is synchronized? I synchronized this morning and it was an hour off, two hours later now I synchronize again and it was 4 minutes off. Setting it to do it automatically isn't often enough so I have to do it manually
[08:39] <krimx> Using 7.10 with Gnome
[08:39] <Chousuke> :/
[08:39] <jimmy_> when I type "iptables" in the terminal, nothing comes up :(
[08:39] <UnNaturalHigh> gandhii, then proceed to locate the group name and add the username in a pattern consistent with the rest of the file
[08:39] <gandhii> unnatural..   yea..  thanks.   But it would be ideal to use the simple gui app..
[08:40] <UnNaturalHigh> jimmy_, you need to do some reading, iptables is not that simple but not that hard to learn
[08:40] <ephemient> krimx: I believe that ntpdate runs every time you connect to the network
[08:40] <UnNaturalHigh> jimmy_, google iptables tutorial
[08:40] <jimmy_> ok
[08:40] <Chousuke> krimx: What makes your clock lag so much?
[08:40] <UnNaturalHigh> jimmy_, google iptables ubuntu help
[08:40] <rhs> MooCows: there's the problem of the MBR
[08:40] <krimx> ephemient: Ah that's the problem then since I'm connected pretty much all the time.
[08:41] <UnNaturalHigh> gandhii, I suppose, but I a merely stating a solution to the problem you mentioned that takes close to the same effort that would take to click your way to the solution
[08:41] <krimx> Chousuke: Not sure, it might be that I'm uploading at 10mb/s pretty much 24/7?
[08:41] <UnNaturalHigh> *a/am
[08:41] <Chousuke> krimx: hmm
[08:41] <Chousuke> krimx: Never heard of network traffic causing lags like that, but I suppose it's possible.
[08:42] <Chousuke> krimx: try with another NIC? :)
[08:42] <blackfoxok> can i ask question?
[08:42] <krimx> Chousuke: Either that or it's the HD movies I'm watching.
[08:42] <Chousuke> I'd bet on the NIC in that case.
[08:42] <UnNaturalHigh> blackfoxok, no, remain silent and wallow in self pity
[08:43] <ephemient> !ask
[08:43] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:43] <blackfoxok> ok
[08:43] <Chousuke> krimx: is it integrated?
[08:43] <eclipse7500> shouldnt it be after you have alsa support enabled and the proper module loaded and the mixer settings set right, your audio should work?
[08:43] <CapaH> I just went through and utterly uninstalled everything remotely related to madwifi, I deleted the restricted drivers containing it, I removed madwifi-tools, etc --- When I ndiswrapper -l it no longer shows (Alternate driver...) --- and STILL when I modprobe ndiswrapper it sets ath0 ----- any, ideas, why ? What can I do to fix that?
[08:43] <krimx> Chousuke: Yup, got a Gigabyte GA-G33M-S2H
[08:43] <ephemient> krimx: odd, though.  2.6.22, it should be using hrtimers, I don't think any of those things would make it go off sync
[08:44] <LtEmerpoc> sup face
[08:45] <ephemient> CapaH: see /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[08:45] <CapaH> doing now...
[08:45] <r4d10h4x> my window decorations just disappeared randomly. emerald themer not working either. and reboot says it is on time mode.... WTF!?
[08:45] <Chousuke> krimx: Hm. Well, I suggest you try with another NIC and see if that solves your problem.
[08:45] <ephemient> CapaH: (or /etc/iftab on LTS)
[08:45] <ineedhelps> i need help with my video card and my drivers can anyone help
[08:45] <krimx> ephemient: Yeah. It was off by almost 5 hours when I first noticed that problem
[08:45] <ephemient> ineedhelps: asking for help without first giving details does not work.  do it the other way around.
[08:46] <CapaH> Yes I found a line there ephemient and I deleted it, hopefully it will work now (rebooting)
[08:46] <Chousuke> krimx: It's pretty much a shot in the dark, but I can't think of anything else that could cause your clock to lag that badly.
[08:46] <CapaH> ephemient: What is "LTS" ?
[08:46] <Chousuke> krimx: it's probably either a buggy driver or buggy hardware.
[08:46] <ephemient> CapaH: Long Term Support, i.e. 6.06 Dapper
[08:46] <CapaH> ah its Gutsy
[08:46] <krimx> Chousuke: Well I'd hate to have to go buy more hardware for a brand new computer, especially if it's only to have the right time in the upper corner. Isn't there some setting I can change to update the clock every 6 hours?
[08:47] <CapaH> I have four totally different wireless adapters and I will be very happy if even one will work
[08:47] <ephemient> krimx: you could install openntpd
[08:47] <ineedhelps> ok sry i have 9600 xt radeon ati with a computer runing ubuntu and i need help with the video card resultion
[08:47] <Chousuke> krimx: well you could find a friend willing to borrow you a NIC. :)
[08:47] <ephemient> krimx: or set up a cron job to run ntpdate regularly but that seems icky
[08:47] <Chousuke> hmm
[08:47] <Centaur5> I just finished configuring a chillispot server but when my client is redirected after it accepts the certificates it pops up with a window to download hotspotlogin.cgi even though the browser should open it. How do I fix that?
[08:48] <krimx> ephemient: I'll check openntpd out
[08:48] <alimoe> hi all
[08:48] <blackfoxok> hi
[08:48] <rhs> MooCows: do you need more help ?
[08:48] <Chousuke> krimx: isn't openntpd an ntp server?
[08:48] <MooCows> rhs, what problem of the MBR
[08:48] <alimoe> how do i connect wireless modem in ubuntu?
[08:48] <Chousuke> krimx: what you need is to run your ntp client regularly. cron is just fine for that :)
[08:49] <MooCows> The MBR in windows ?
[08:49] <rhs> MooCows: once grub is installed, you will always have a menu at startup, unless you reinstall windows
[08:49] <ephemient> ntpd is good at keeping the system time synchronized
[08:50] <blackfoxok> ubuntu can use beryl ?
[08:50] <MooCows> rhs, that's what I want.  Or are you talking about if I was to format the parition which Ubuntu would be installing to, I STILL would have the grub menu ?
[08:50] <blackfoxok> i dont know how to use ^^
[08:50] <CapaH> Ok I found a rule in udev rules that was stopping the wlan0 from coming up, it now comes up, now my var/log/messages says: wlan0: link not ready. I can iwlist scan. I can see all the networks and valid details. I can iwconfig essid and it sets the right essid. I cannot connect. Any ideas? Please?
[08:50] <krimx> I guess I'll check out both openntpd and cron then and see which one seems best :) Thanks for the help.
[08:51] <ephemient> blackfoxok: Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy has Compiz Fusion, which supercedes both Compiz and Beryl
[08:51] <rhs> MooCows: you would still have the menu, there's a workaround but it's complicated
[08:51] <rhs> MooCows: http://www.matthewjmiller.net/howtos/dual-boot-linux-and-windows/
[08:51] <ephemient> CapaH: after iwconfig essid, does it associate?  do you need a wireless key?
[08:51] <MooCows> rhs, OK, so What are you talking about "The problem" ?
[08:52] <blackfoxok> ok thank you for help
[08:52] <foureyes779> ewww
[08:52] <CapaH> ephemient: I do not need a wireless key. However, the iwconfig shows: ESSID "linksys3" but it also says: Not-Associated --- ideas?
[08:53] <rhs> MooCows: hum, i made a mistake
[08:54] <Dj^SmyL3> ciao
[08:54] <blackfoxok> ubuntu 6.06 can use beryl ?
[08:54] <rhs> MooCows: no the menu whouldn't be here and you coulndn't boot your windows
[08:55] <ephemient> CapaH: "not associated" is a showstopper, but I'm not an expert and I don't know how to fix that...
[08:55] <hekamiah> hola chazco
[08:55] <ephemient> blackfoxok: I do not believe that either Beryl or Compiz are supported on 6.06, but I could check
[08:56] <MooCows> So what do I need to do ?
[08:56] <flamesrock> anyone know how the good the Linux ATI drivers are now? I'm thinking of getting a 3850 over an 8600
[08:56] <hekamiah> hi, someboby can help me please
[08:56] <MooCows> Just go remove the data on the other partition , and set up Ubuntu on it ?

[09:01] <ephemient> !ati
[09:01] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:01] <ephemient> ineedhelps: that being said, 9600 is supported by the open-source drivers
[09:02] <ineedhelps> how to do i get those?
[09:02] <mediahunter> CapaH the cards are on the list so I am not to sure why it is not working
[09:02] <ephemient> ineedhelps: if you remove fglrx, your system should be back to using the open-source radeon driver
[09:02] <mediahunter> sorry i could not help CapaH
[09:03] <ineedhelps> how do i remove?
[09:03] <ephemient> ineedhelps: how did you install it?

[09:07] <rhs> alimoe: if you're paranoid, yes
[09:07] <joseph> wat do i do ephemient
[09:08] <rhs> alimoe: just joking, i don't have one
[09:08] <Varka> alimoe, unless you are not exchanging files with windows-machines ... no
[09:08] <ephemient> joseph: that's odd. file-roller should be installed in your case...
[09:08] <alimoe> rhs: so no need?
[09:08] <alimoe> warka: thnx
[09:08] <cloogon> I want to know how to replace gdm with xdm on ubuntu system,who can help me?

[09:09] <warlock_handler> hi guys
[09:09] <alimoe> i want to must master LINUX, how do i?
[09:09] <ephemient> joseph: it should be installed already, if you have ubuntu-desktop... I thought
[09:09] <ephemient> joseph: but yes.  file-roller is the archive manager for Gnome
[09:09] <ineedhelps> hey ephemient what do i do now>
[09:09] <alimoe> can books work?
[09:09] <joseph> ok thanx
[09:09] <warlock_handler> I am running uBuntu 7.10...  i see a trackerd application thats eating my CPU time

[09:10] <joseph> umm i alt+f2 and typed in "file roller

[09:10] <Varka> joseph, zip ~/Desktop/<foo.zip> ~/Desktop/<foo>
[09:10] <joseph> i just dont have an option to zip a file
[09:10] <ephemient> warlock_handler: it is indexing your files.  you can configure this in System > Preferences > Indexing Preferences
[09:10] <joseph> thanx
[09:10] <ephemient> ineedhelps: what does Restricted Drivers say?
[09:10] <alimoe> redhat v/s ubuntu???
 ya dude i figured that... but since it was taking more of my CPU i deselected the indexing options...
 but still it was running in the system processes...
[09:11] <warlock_handler> so i simple stopped that process
[09:11] <ineedhelps> propreity drivers do not have public source code
[09:12] <joseph> how do i force quit?
[09:12] <Varka> joseph, quitting what?
[09:12] <rhs> joseph: force quit what  ?
[09:12] <Chousuke> cmd-alt-esc -> choose app -> force quit
[09:12] <joseph> a program
[09:12] <Chousuke> er
[09:12] <Chousuke> never mind :D
[09:12] <Chousuke> not #macosx :<
[09:13] <jhaig> Does anyone here know about nfs in gutsy?  Since upgrading to gutsy I have been having network problems which I think is due to nfs.  munin graphs at this moment show that a client is running nfs lookup requests at a rate of about 1000 per second, and has been doing so now for about 12 hours.  The hub shows high network contention and the machines run sluggishly.  This did not happen at all with feisty.
[09:13] <Varka> joseph, Control+c
[09:13] <ephemient> ineedhelps: in the box... there should be a line saying ATI something-or-other, is it enabled or not?
[09:13] <Chousuke> You shouldn't use OS X terminology on Ubuntu channels :/
[09:13] <joseph> thats from the terminal
[09:13] <Chousuke> on Linux, you "kill" applications
 dude how do i remove it from the startup next time
[09:13] <ineedhelps> it is checked so its enable but the status says its not in use
[09:13] <buttercups> warlock_handler, tracker starts up on boot, remove the tracker start up entry
[09:13] <weltschmerz> how can i change the order in which my sound cards load?
[09:14] <ephemient> warlock_handler: System > Preferences > Sessions
 how do i do this??
[09:14] <warlock_handler> ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
[09:14] <Asathoor> how can I detect errors on a harddisk?
[09:14] <abbe> hi channel
[09:14] <warlock_handler> awesome guys... that helped :D

[09:14] <Asathoor> ephemient >> thanx
[09:15] <abbe> whenever I try to install any package via apt-get, I get this "warning: The following packages cannot be authenticated!" , any ideas how to fix this ? I'm on Ubuntu Gutsy
[09:15] <jhaig> #nfs
[09:15] <ephemient> abbe: which package is it?  it likely comes from an external repository
[09:15] <abbe> ephemient: it is manpages-dev
[09:15] <raz0r> what's paranoid
[09:16] <abbe> ephemient: I'm using only Ubuntu repositories (mirror: http://ubuntu.virginmedia.com)
[09:17] <Varka> weltschmerz, http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Soundprobleme#head-b1e3ca67af9921c4598dc31e490b37ed3a376d47
[09:17] <eclipse7500> bleh
[09:18] <abbe> ephemient: ubuntu keys (FBB75451, 437D05B5) are also there in apt keyring
[09:18] <eclipse7500> i have the via82xx module loaded, mixer settings are right, and turned off my acpi reading that some people have had issues with the irq settings with the mobo and linux. anybody else have any ideas?
[09:18] <ephemient> abbe: yeah, I'm looking through that mirror
[09:19] <hammsand> anyone that can help me with a silly terminal question?
[09:19] <ephemient> abbe: I don't know why this error has occured; everything should have worked.
[09:19] <eclipse7500> oh, and sometimes my audio randomly did work... rarely, but it has worked outta the blue.
[09:19] <abbe> ephemient: okay,
[09:19] <eclipse7500> hammsand: shoot
[09:19] <abbe> ephemient: while trying to install 'glibc-doc' package I also get this warning
[09:19] <ephemient> abbe: it might be an intermittent error, the last refresh failed to fetch the signature, maybe
[09:20] <ephemient> abbe: you could ignore it or refresh and try again
[09:20] <hammsand> i have a folder on my ntfs drive "--=Lots of Stuff=--"   so it's located in  /media/sda04/--=Lots of Stuff=--/
[09:20] <abbe> ephemient: so you mean, apt-get update will fix this
[09:20] <ephemient> abbe: likely
[09:20] <hammsand> why can i not changedir  (cd)  to this in terminal
[09:20] <Varka> weltschmerz, http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards
[09:20] <mohkohn> does xubuntu come with a bittorrent program?
[09:20] <ephemient> ineedhelps: sorry, too many other questions...
[09:20] <hammsand> i've use quotes, everything grawr
[09:20] <abbe> ephemient: thanks it is fixed, after "apt-get update"
[09:20] <Varka> mohkohn, yes it does
[09:21] <mohkohn> Varka, what is it called?
[09:21] <ephemient> ineedhelps: please be sure to prefix your lines with the name of the person you are talking to, so that their IRC client highlights it
[09:21] <eclipse7500> hammsand: maybe it needs the backslash in there with the symbols?
[09:21] <Varka> mohkohn, just: bittorrent
[09:22] <eclipse7500> hammsand: as to signify a space in a name its "read\ this"
[09:22] <Varka> mohkohn, and graphically gnome-btdownload
[09:22] <ephemient> ineedhelps: if it's not in use... could you paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[09:22] <eclipse7500> hammsand: just try "cd /media/sda04/-\" then tab for auto completion
[09:23] <mohkohn> thanks varka. it did not seem to be in my Applications. so I might need to apt
[09:24] <Varka> mohkohn, its started automatically if you are klicking a .torrent or downloading one
[09:24] <ephemient> !bittorrent
[09:24] <Asathoor> any suggestions on GUI tools in order to check hardware?
[09:24] <ubotu> Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P
[09:24] <Varka> Asathoor, use CLI tools, lshw or hwinfo
[09:25] <eclipse7500> hammsand: --\=Lots\ Of\ Stuff\=--/          thats its name under linux, it uses backslashes to represent special symbols or something along those lines
[09:25] <mohkohn> Varka, thanks again
[09:25] <Asathoor> thanx Varka
[09:25] <ephemient> hammsand, eclipse7500: shell (and many other programming languages) uses \ to "escape", meaning "usually the following character has a special meaning, but don't apply that special meaning here"
[09:26] <eclipse7500> ephemient: ahh gotcha
[09:26] <eclipse7500> thanks ephemient
[09:26] <bullgard4> "sudo apt-file update && apt-file search 'linux-2.6.22.4'" does not output anything. What package produces the /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.4 directory?
[09:26] <eclipse7500> anyways
[09:26] <hammsand> lol i just had to change my quotes
[09:26] <ephemient> bullgard4: linux-source
[09:26] <ephemient> hammsand: that works too
[09:27] <hammsand> but thanks
[09:27] <bullgard4> ephemient: If it was true what you wrote, why does my command not show it?
[09:27] <hammsand> actually i just had to extend the directory in my command:   cd "/media/sda4/--=Lots of Stuff=--/"
[09:28] <ephemient> !info linux-source
[09:28] <ubotu> linux-source: Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.22.14.21 (gutsy), package size 24 kB, installed size 52 kB
[09:28] <eclipse7500> anyone have any idea what could cause my audio not to work? i have the via82xx module loaded, mixer settings right, and disabled acpi due to me reading that sometimes it can interfer with the irq settings? it worked out of the blue a few times, nothing changed either
[09:29] <ephemient> bullgard4: because it is not installed by default and apt-file only searches installed packages?
[09:29] <ephemient> (I think?)
[09:29] <mohkohn> I need to torrent a system rescue cd and make a dvd backup before I do strange experimental things.
[09:29] <ares221> #france
[09:29] <ephemient> err, hmm.  I guess not.
[09:30] <mohkohn> unless of course the ubuntulivecd has partimage on it
[09:30] <Varka> bullgard1, you searched for linux-2.6.22.4, but the current version is linux-2.6.22-14
[09:30] <bullgard4> ephemient: apt-file does not search only the installed packages. Rather, it searches much more.
[09:30] <ephemient> bullgard4: yes, I realized that after looking it up
[09:30] <ephemient> bullgard4: I don't know why apt-file doesn't find it.
[09:30] <ephemient> bullgard4: but linux-source is the package containing the linux source.
[09:31] <riaal> I need to check my uptime from the terminal, any ides?
[09:31] <bullgard4> Varka: Yes, this may be the reason. I will investigate.
[09:31] <ephemient> bullgard4: you could also "apt-get source [name of your kernel package]"
[09:31] <ephemient> riaal: there is a command named "uptime"
[09:31] <riaal> ephemient, lol, thanks
[09:34] <blackfoxok> ubuntu can use format ntfs?
[09:34] <eclipse7500> yeah, it can read/write to it
[09:35] <blackfoxok> how to format ntfs use ubuntu?
[09:36] <_DT> blackfoxok: yes, it can read ntfs volumes by default but you may need to install something for write access
[09:38] <floodge> When upgrading to Gutsy im told im short 100mb of space, is there any way of clearing or adding space to my current installation?
[09:38] <ephemient> floodge: you could remove some large packages, upgrade, and install them again
[09:39] <floodge> Such as?
[09:39] <joosep> how do i make my ntfs partition mount automatically in gutsy?
[09:39] <eclipse7500> edit /etc/fstab is one way
[09:39] <joosep> i have 2 partitions with ntfs, one mounts automatically at boot, i want the other one to do the same
[09:39] <floodge> I've tried removing some packages, but it seems to make the amount I need to download to upgrade go up
[09:39] <eclipse7500> i dont know if ubuntu has a easier interface for it though..
[09:40] <ephemient> floodge: if you remove packages that the upgrade was going to install anyways, it is futile
[09:40] <joosep> eclipse7500, the two partitions are set up in a different way i think
[09:40] <bullgard4> "Launchpad is off for maintenance." How long did such an outage last on the average in the past?
[09:40] <AmL> joosep, it should find them automatically during installation
[09:40] <ephemient> floodge: I can't think of anything really easy, though...
[09:40] <mwansa> joosep, gnome-volume-manager also mounts ntfs parts automatically
[09:40] <eclipse7500> joosep: read into editing the fstab, just google how edit fstab or something
[09:40] <CapaH> .... I am using MADWIFI on a Netgear WPN311 Wifi PCI card. I can iwlist scan, I can iwconfig essid linksys3 -- but I cannot connect. Can anyone help me?
[09:41] <floodge> I dont mind repartitioning if you recommend a program for it
[09:41] <ares221> hi ev'body
[09:41] <eclipse7500> floodge: gparted
[09:41] <DJFatalError> sorry for parting
[09:41] <floodge> I know of gparted
[09:42] <floodge> but Im stuck with 0.2.5
[09:42] <ephemient> floodge: parted (and gparted and qtparted) are very nice; unfortulately, you cannot edit the partition you are currently booted from
[09:42] <floodge> LiveCd method?
[09:42] <ephemient> floodge: that would work
[09:42] <jay> i used gparted's livecd and it worked great for me
[09:42] <ephemient> floodge: gparted should be present on the LiveCD
[09:43] <Slart> will ext2/3 ever do "fsck while mounted without the world ending" ? are there other fs that support that?
[09:43] <ephemient> really, any livecd will do
[09:43] <Varka> blackfoxok,
[09:43] <mediahunter> anyone here know anything about VM on linus
[09:43] <mediahunter> linux
[09:43] <Varka> blackfoxok, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G
[09:43] <ephemient> Slart: not that I know of
[09:43] <Asathoor> i'm trying to find out why an xubuntu mashine freezes, but cannot get it to the state of freezing... aheeem ... could the user just forget to turn on a router... an elderly lady is the user...
[09:43] <rockets> Is there a reason I wouldn't have the setenv command
[09:43] <blackfoxok> ok
[09:43] <cloogon> I have somthing to ask, who can help me ?
[09:43] <Asathoor> 8-)
[09:43] <ephemient> rockets: in Bourne-like shells (not csh-like shells), you do not have setenv
[09:43] <floodge> Thanks
[09:44] <ephemient> rockets: just write "VAR=value; export VAR" instead of "setenv VAR value"
[09:44] <rockets> ephemient, oh . . . that sucks. now i have to do #!/usr/bin/ruby which is distro specific
[09:44] <blackfoxok> thank you <Varka>
[09:44] <ephemient> rockets: oh
[09:44] <rockets> ephemient, this is for a shebang.
[09:44] <ephemient> rockets: you have /usr/bin/env
[09:44] <rockets> oh ok
[09:44] <rockets> same difference
[09:44] <cloogon> hi
[09:44] <rockets> so i can do #!/usr/bin/env ruby
[09:44] <mwansa> mm how can i give user permisions to play dvd media, adding them to cdrom group doesnt cut it
[09:44] <ephemient> rockets: I've never heard of a #!setenv
[09:44] <Slart> ephemient: hmm.. It's kind of annoying that this "never reboot" os can't check the root drive without rebooting
[09:45] <ephemient> rockets: but yes, #!/usr/bin/env [something other program] is very common
[09:45] <rockets> ephemient, #!/usr/bin/setenv ruby
[09:45] <Asathoor> mwansa >> check users - and edit them
[09:45] <rockets> either way
[09:45] <rockets> thats fine
[09:45] <rockets> thanks
[09:45] <Varka> blackfoxok, if you are using gutsy you dont have to install anything, its included by default
[09:45] <ephemient> rockets: I've seen /usr/bin/env far more than setenv; in fact I haven't ever seen setenv on a Linux system
[09:45] <rockets> ephemient, regardless
[09:45] <mwansa> Asathoor, im using fluxbox so need to set it cli
[09:45] <rockets> ephemient, thats what the ruby folks told me to use so thats what i tried
[09:46] <ephemient> rockets: okay.  well, they were almost right :)
[09:46] <rockets> maybe they were solaris users :-P
[09:46] <Lifeisfunny> Does anyone know the name of the service that interferes with the function of the Gnometris game?
[09:46] <ephemient> yeah :)
[09:46] <DJFatalError> first: sorry for my bad english.
[09:46] <Patchak> just a quick question please I'm trying to learn scp from the command line... and I'm not sure why this command fails...it goes crazy and seemsto copy the modules directory in a loop....
[09:46] <DJFatalError> i'll join a channel in the ircnet, but the channel does not support modes. what can i do?
[09:47] <Patchak> scp -r /home/alexis/Drupal/GeekStuff/riddler alexis@IPHERE : /home/www/geekomatic.com/docroot/sites/all/modules
[09:47] <CapaH> Can anyone help me on this? I am trying to get wireless to work. I can iwlist scan. I can iwconfig essid, but I cannot connect to my network from my desktop. I am talking here using my laptop which is on the same wireless network just fine -- also using Ubuntu Gutsy. Anyone?
[09:47] <Patchak> so basically I want to upload my riddler folder to the server did I do something wrong in that command?
[09:47] <revx> wil somebody help me with this screen resolution...at first it went ok at 1024x1xxx but when i shifted to dual monitor..it chnages to 640x4xx something now i cant open my screen and graphics...
[09:47] <wasabi_> how do i fix flash 9 overlapping other layers?
[09:47] <Lifeisfunny> specifically the descend speed in the game hangs at times due to something and I'm thinking it's a background service
[09:48] <revx> i cant chnages my setting anymore
[09:48] <crdlb> wasabi_: you can't :/
[09:48] <wasabi_> crdlb, any other alternatives?
[09:48] <wasabi_> crdlb, to adobe's flash 9 i mean.
[09:49] <livingdaylight> Saludos Ubunteros!
[09:49] <crdlb> wasabi_: honestly I think the problem is with firefox (gecko)
[09:49] <revx> wil somebody help me with this screen resolution...at first it went ok at 1024x1xxx but when i shifted to dual monitor..it chnages to 640x4xx something now i cant open my screen and graphics...
[09:49] <crdlb> I'm not sure that even gnash would fix it, but don't quote me on that
[09:49] <ephemient> wasabi_: the way that Netscape-style plugins work, I don't think it is fixable
[09:50] <wasabi_> damn. maybe it will be address with firefox 3
[09:50] <ephemient> wasabi_: not unless they invent a new plugin architecture :-/
[09:50] <livingdaylight> komrades... i gotz prblem with pdigin... i cannot join chat. I create irc acc and initially it works but after logging off and now back on  i cannot join chat
[09:50] <wasabi_> so ie6 on ubuntu doesn't have that problem?
[09:50] <revx> wil somebody help me with this screen resolution...at first it went ok at 1024x1xxx but when i shifted to dual monitor..it chnages to 640x4xx something now i cant open my screen and graphics...
[09:50] <ephemient> wasabi_: it has other problems :)
[09:50] <Kraklok> helloo
[09:50] <ephemient> wasabi_: I've never tried it, but I don't think so...
[09:51] <crdlb> wasabi_: firefox in wine wouldn't have that problem :) (assuming you can get flash working in it)
[09:51] <blackfoxok> ubuntu cant use exe file?
[09:51] <wasabi_> damn
[09:51] <wasabi_> blackfoxok, wine
[09:51] <ephemient> revx: xrandr --output=default --mode=1024x768 (or whatever is appropriate)
[09:51] <wasabi_> thanks for the help guys
[09:51] <hammsand> blackfoxok:  try www.winehq.org
[09:51] <Kraklok> does Ubuntu64 support 16Gb of RAM out-of-the-box ?
[09:51] <ephemient> revx: give that a try
[09:52] <livingdaylight> Also with Epiphany.... i install epiphany but dont' see it in applications menu... hten i install epiphany gecko and it is in menu list... then i remove epiphany gecko and it remains in menu list....
[09:52] <newguyss> Hi, iam going to buy a virtual server now, any recommendation, I prefer ubuntu, so is there any company where they rent them?
[09:52] <wasabi_> blackfoxok, or sudo apt-get install wine
[09:53] <livingdaylight> when i remove something with apt it should reflect that fact in applications menu, no?
[09:53] <ephemient> livingdaylight: it should, unless you've made changes to the menu yourself
[09:53] <Lifeisfunny> to use wine won't you have to have the exe program installed in a windows partition ?
[09:54] <wers> before, the desktop icon of my flv file is a preview of the video. now, it looks like a blank paper
[09:54] <livingdaylight> ephemient, all i've done is install epiphany... but it wasn't there in menu... then i remove something else and it continues to show in menu list...
[09:54] <wers> how do I make the flv icon look like a preview of the video again?
[09:54] <ephemient> livingdaylight: odd. Gnome, Xfce, KDE, other?
[09:54] <livingdaylight> ephemient, Gnome
[09:55] <ephemient> livingdaylight: really odd. Gnome is the most agressive at making sure the menu matches what you actually have :-/

[10:03] <amidaniel> muir71: I believe it's a simple image file somewhere that you need to change
[10:03] <muir71> well, everyone says go to the Longin Window manager and change the background color there, i have but it's still brown...
[10:03] <amidaniel> ty, Tm_T
[10:04] <amidaniel> muir71: Well, are you trying to change the splash screen or the log-in window?
[10:04] <ephemient> crdlb, wasabi_: well, that's surprising.  to do that, you'd have to redirect the plugin to an offscreen drawable, and do compositing yourself...
[10:04] <Tm_T> l3: english only
[10:04] <muir71> the background of the splash screen...i already have the image put in it, now i just need the background color changed
[10:04] <ephemient> crdlb, wasabi_: and handle input forwarding, which is another pain to implement.  but props to them, for working on it :)
[10:04] <Mely2> Who can help me fix my screen resolution?

[10:09] <alimoe> caf2007: jsut ask
[10:09] <caf2007> thanks alimoe
[10:09] <alimoe> *just
[10:09] <wasabi_> alimoe, http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-install-the-realplayer-multimedia-player but try googling it first next time
[10:10] <caf2007> I have downloaded a life CD version yesterday
[10:10] <Mely2> I just installed Ubuntu Linux and am a first time user and need help with my screen resolution. Can anyone assist?
[10:10] <alimoe> wasabi_: i hv been there!
[10:10] <wasabi_> alimoe, that doens't work?
[10:10] <caf2007> burned it on a CD and tried to intsall it on my older laptop
[10:11] <alimoe> wasabi_: yeah
[10:11] <wasabi_> alimoe, gusty?
[10:11] <asc> Is it possible to use TwinView and use a different device for each monitor?
[10:11] <alimoe> wasabi_: wats that?
[10:11] <Mely2> How do I fix my screen resolution?
[10:11] <wasabi_> alimoe, gusty gibbons
[10:11] <caf2007> it takes endless time to boot and then it took me the whole day just to get to the part where it says it is checking the disk to install
[10:11] <Mely2> I have Gusty Gibbons and need help with my screen resolution.
[10:12] <Marthy> hi
[10:12] <alimoe> wasabi_: come on, im a new ubuntu user
[10:12] <caf2007> I tried several times to do it again and again it just doesn't get any faster
[10:12] <scott__> Hi all, I am trying to send email via SMTP and I am getting an error "must issue a STARTTLS command first".... does anybody know how to fix this?  (I am programming in Ruby)
[10:12] <wasabi_> alimoe, what exactly is the error you're getting?
[10:13] <ephemient> caf2007: the LiveCD is much slower than a real install, because CDs are much slower at reading and seeking than hard disks
[10:13] <mohkohn> the one really anoying problem with my laptop is the battery
[10:13] <alimoe> wasabi_: package not found
[10:13] <wasabi_> oh
[10:13] <ephemient> caf2007: this only gets worse on underpowered systems, because the LiveCD has to temporarily load a lot more things into RAM
[10:13] <mohkohn> I can see it is charging or unplugged but not how much charge is left.
[10:13] <ephemient> caf2007: if you find that the LiveCD is too slow, use the Alternate CD to install
[10:13] <asc> It shouldn't be that slow though unless it's on really old hardware
[10:13] <w7> \s mesra.dal.net
[10:13] <xcs> hello ppl !!
[10:13] <mohkohn> Any tips how to fix?
[10:13] <asc> I once had one that was very slow, and it turned out the CD was bad
[10:14] <scott__> The Live CD will naturally be slower than the installed version
[10:14] <caf2007> it is a Pentium 3 where I use windows 2000 without any problems
[10:14] <mohkohn> lsmod shows battery
[10:14] <asc> It should not take "the whole day", however
[10:14] <ephemient> caf2007, asc: true, especially if you can hear the CD continually seeking to re-read the same sectors, you may not have a "good" burn
[10:14] <alimoe> wasabi_: "package has no installation candidate"
[10:14] <caf2007> I have also on this machine fedora but I don't like it
[10:14] <Lumpy^> hey, i got adsl connection and im looking for program that can handle the connection, is there somthing that i can define that once in a day it will change my ip or just disconnect and recoonect?
[10:14] <wasabi_> try this http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg34t4.htm
[10:15] <wasabi_> alimoe, http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg34t4.htm
[10:15] <scott__> Anybody know a thing or two about SMTP servers?
[10:15] <caf2007> okay I'm downloading the alternate version now
[10:15] <alimoe> wasabi_, k
[10:15] <ephemient> alimoe: I thought that RealPlayer was in Canonical's Parter repository
[10:15] <punzada> anyone here have any experience with a hauppage wintv pvr250 card and a regular coaxial cable connection? the card doesn't seem to be decoding the signal properly
[10:15] <wasabi_> alimoe, i see exactly what you're saying. i saw a guide for real player a while back. but i don't use it myself so i don't know where it is
[10:16] <wasabi_> ephemient, i thought so too. but it doesn't work when you install with apt
[10:16] <alimoe> wasabi_ doesnt matter anyway im just used 2 it, i'll try to adopt without it
[10:16] <wasabi_> alimoe, if you just want the browser plugin
[10:17] <wasabi_> alimoe, you can install the helix mozilla plug in. sudo apt-get install mozilla-helix-player
[10:17] <alimoe> wasabi_, i got all da plugins nw
[10:17] <caf2007> ephemient, thanks for your help so far I'm going to try what you suggested
[10:17] <Lumpy^> anyone knows about a name of app?
[10:17] <wasabi_> alimoe, kay
[10:17] <alimoe> wasabi_, is that gud?
[10:18] <wasabi_> alimoe, gud?
[10:18] <wasabi_> alimoe, gud = good?
[10:18] <ephemient> Lumpy^: man 5 crontab
[10:18] <alimoe> wasabi_, gud=good
[10:18] <wasabi_> alimoe, it works for me.
[10:18] <alimoe> wasabi_, k
[10:19] <wasabi_> give it a try. if not then i would search or make a post on the forum
[10:19] <alimoe> k
[10:19] <wasabi_> that usually has everything you need
[10:19] <ephemient> Lumpy^: I don't know if there's any graphical interface to it, but cron is installed by default, and exists to repeatedly run scheduled actions
[10:19] <scott__> Anybody know anything about SMTP, i've been searching Google and can't find what I'm looking for
[10:20] <kane77> scott__, what are you looking for?
[10:20] <alimoe> scott_, SMTP for what?
[10:21] <scott__> i am writing a script in Ruby that sends an email message to myself whenever a certain action happens (namely a stock-price goes below a certain price)
[10:21] <scott__> and i am getting this error message: "must issue a STARTTLS command first"
[10:21] <zasf> scott__: ssmtp is what you're looking for
[10:22] <zasf> 2.61-11ubuntu1 extremely simple MTA to get mail off the sys
[10:22] <ephemient> scott__: so the mail server you are using requires the use of SSL
[10:22] <alimoe> outgoing email server???
[10:22] <zasf> but there must be an easier way with ruby
[10:23] <ephemient> scott__: see if you can find a Ruby library which can handle this, or set up a mail forwarder on your own system
[10:23] <scott__> ephemient:  well basically i am creating a script that crawls this stock webpage and finds the stock quote that i am looking for, and it will notify me whenever the price goes below a certain threshold
[10:23] <brandon__> quick question, how do i install themes in xfce?
[10:23] <brandon__> do i make a folder in home called .themes ?
[10:23] <ephemient> scott__: I don't really care what it does ;)
[10:24] <scott__> haha ok
[10:24] <scott__> pardon my excessive explanations
[10:24] <ephemient> scott__: your problems connecting to the mail server come from the mail server requiring SSL

[10:36] <whabo> help .. i had ubuntu .. created a new partition for Pclos using its liveCD .. installed Pclos.. but now i cant dualboot even tho ubuntu partition is still there i cant access it from the boot loader on PClinuxos HELP plz thx
[10:36] <ephemient> UnknownUniverse: ah.  bug its maintainer to bump the version... it should happen before the release, but there's a lot of time yet :)
[10:37] <ailean> can anyone point me in the direction of a list of ubuntu compatible mp3/mp4 players (i.e. hardware)
[10:37] <ephemient> lastlog Linux
[10:37] <ailean> keegan, krimx i mean hardware mp3 players
[10:37] <ephemient> oops
[10:37] <keegan> ailean:  sorry i dont know
[10:37] <UnknownUniverse> ephemient: :)
[10:37] <Happosade> how to get ctrl commands off
[10:37] <keegan> whabo:  wait ill paste u a link
[10:38] <krimx> ailean: Oh sorry, I guess any player that doesn't need a special program to move songs to it. Ipod works fine too.
[10:38] <Happosade> I have tested Settings -> shortcuts
[10:38] <ephemient> ailean: generally, anything that works as a plain-old mass storage device works
[10:38] <Happosade> On Konsole
[10:38] <puccio> hello, do you know any morphing programm packaged for Ubuntu? In the packages list I don't find any one
[10:38] <ephemient> ailean: anything you can install Rockbox on works :D
[10:38] <caligarn> whew...computers weird..sorry im in vietnam behind a finicky firewall...does anybody have any cellphone sync resources?
[10:39] <ailean> ephemient, what is rockbox?
[10:39] <werner_> hi
[10:39] <Jaymac1> is there any way to automount an nfs share running on a server using dhcp?
[10:40] <keegan> whabo:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=recovering+grub perhaps this will help you
[10:40] <Jaymac1> can i do it by hostname or anything? or does it have to be IP?
[10:40] <Happosade> ailean: iPod-Linux, after that you can copy songs from iPod to computer
[10:40] <musikgoat> Jaymac: why is a server on dhcp?
[10:40] <ailean> Happosade, do the newer versions of ipod still work?
[10:41] <Jaymac> because i don't have control over the network
[10:41] <Happosade> ailean: I don't know. Only 5g iPod tested
[10:41] <ephemient> Happosade, ailean: Rockbox is not iPod-Linux
[10:41] <krimx> ailean: I don't think they do yet but check out the gtkpod site, I think they were first to break whatever Apple had changed on the new models.
[10:41] <Jaymac> i just want to share files between my laptop and my pc... both of which use dhcp
[10:41] <keegan> ailean:  on their site they have a list of hardware that works
[10:41] <Happosade> ephemient: Oh.. yeah.. :(
[10:42] <ephemient> ailean: Rockbox is a free firmware for several hardware MP3 players, including some iPods and Archos products
[10:42] <musikgoat> sorry, assuming...   Jaymac I nfs should have hostname functionality, but i haven't tried it myself
[10:42] <ephemient> Jaymac: by hsotname works, as long as name resolution is working at the time the mount is processed
[10:42] <ailean> so how good is this Rockbox ephemient ?
[10:42] <e|64> hi is it possible to change the labels on menubar ?
[10:43] <ephemient> Jaymac: put _netdev in the options field of the fstab line for the mount, and it won't be mounted until after the network is brought up
[10:43] <ephemient> ailean: pretty good on most hardware, pretty crappy on the iPod :-/
[10:43] <Jaymac> and then i can just add john-desktop (name of the pc) instead of its ip to fstab?
[10:43] <ailean> ephemient, and i'd surely be voiding the warranty by using it, no?
[10:43] <ephemient> ailean: not necessarily; it doesn't do anything permanent, and you can erase it before sending it back in for repairs ;)
[10:44] <ailean> ahhhhh, buen idea
[10:44] <musikgoat> warranties exist to be voided :-)
[10:44] <ephemient> musikgoat: I like that :D
[10:44] <ephemient> man, though.  <gripe> Apple seems to make their products delibrately difficult to disassemble...
[10:45] <ailean> ok then guys, can you recommend a good player for linux-compatibility?
[10:45] <musikgoat> can you put linux on it?  yes,  do you need to, no... do it anyways
[10:45] <musikgoat> :-p
[10:45] <ephemient> ailean: http://libmtp.sourceforge.net/ has a list of the devices it can handle
[10:46] <mohkohn> would a new kernel be more likely to detect my laptop battery?
[10:46] <ephemient> ailean: aside from that, there's iPods and anything that's a plain-old mass-storage device
[10:46] <ailean> excellent, many thanks for your help ephemient

[11:00] <tntCry> nothing they did its just that university allows msn messenger and internetexplorer /firefox
[11:01] <tntCry> but in ubuntu theyr is no msn messenger i tried installing amsn stil cant login ..
[11:01] <tntCry> i thought about doing ssh damaltor
[11:01] <damaltor> tnt so what do u want to do? if u use GAIM or kopete you will be able to unse messenger too
[11:01] <krimx> tntCry: You could try meebo.org if you don't mind using msn through your browser
[11:01] <tntCry> oh

[11:04] <mohkohn> damaltor, apt-get upgrading. It is working albeit slowly

[11:07] <kinroad> mrmonday: unmount it
[11:07] <mohkohn> one other thing. would compiling a kernel while apt-get is 'getting" cause any problems?

[11:10] <kinroad> What is the problem? When I kill X with Alt+Sysrq+E or Alt+Sysrq+I my computer freezes and I cannot switch virtual consoles. but if I go to a textmode virtual console first and then kill all processes using Sysrq then it will restart getty and it works.
[11:11] <damaltor> !dvd CapaH

When I kill X with Alt+Sysrq+E or Alt+Sysrq+I my computer freezes and I cannot switch virtual consoles. but if I go to a textmode virtual console first and then kill all processes using Sysrq then it will restart getty and it works. seems like killing all processes locks the graphics card, but why does it do that?
[11:15] <damaltor> tntCry: no, not nere there =)
[11:15] <tntCry> near Europe park?
[11:15] <damaltor> no.. nere the barbarossa höhle

[11:17] <tntCry> i hope ubuntu will release a mobile ubuntu version for imate or iphone or the new technology touchscreen mobile phones
[11:17] <tntCry> kr00l, you mean run ubuntu on the mp3 player?
[11:17] <kr00l> tntCry: i mean transfer music
[11:17] <stojic_> kr00l: if the player functions as a USB memory key without additional drivers then it should work
[11:17] <tntCry> ok i think it will work
[11:18] <damaltor> kr00l: i have linux running on an ipod..
[11:18] <kr00l> damaltor: great but that doesn't help me
[11:18] <damaltor> ^^
[11:18] <madness> hello
[11:18] <tntCry> many things work with ubuntu  , the only thing until now im surprised is that wacom touchscreen will not work from out of the box but must appoint the driver and have the common files to initiate and to load touchscreen
[11:19] <tntCry> its a bit hard tutorial tho
[11:19] <tntCry> ok damaltor i gtg for lunch
[11:20] <damaltor> tntCry: wacom is already in xorg.conf, should work good.. did for me though
[11:20] <zejosh> Hi, how do I install flash player & shockwave with my terminal?
[11:20] <tntCry> touchscreen?
[11:20] <tntCry> hmmm
[11:20] <stojic_> kr00l: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608875   your player is listed there if I am not wrong
[11:20] <tntCry> how come didnt work?
[11:21] <tntCry> oh damaltor its a tablet laptop touchscreen not a hardware touchscreen which you plugon a pc
[11:21] <pcnet32> damaltor: wacom tablet != wacom touchscreen  i guess
[11:21] <tntCry> their is a diffrence theyr
[11:21] <damaltor> zejosh: no shockwave. but flashplayer you can download from adobe.com and follow the manual
[11:21] <zejosh> I did that,
[11:21] <damaltor> tntCry: yes, thought so
[11:21] <tntCry> ok ifigazine
[11:21] <zejosh> but when I went into terminal to run the ./flash thing
[11:21] <damaltor> zejosh: so that should be it
[11:21] <damaltor> ah
[11:21] <damaltor> ok?
[11:21] <zejosh> it said,  it wasn't found
[11:21] <damaltor> zejosh: cd to the right folder
[11:22] <damaltor> and do "chmod a+x flash..."
[11:22] <zejosh> which would be? o.O
[11:22] <damaltor> dunno where you downloaded it to..
[11:22] <zejosh> I done it to my desktop
[11:22] <krimx> zejosh: If you have the right repositories then do -> 'aptitude search flash' and after that 'sudo aptitude install *package*'
[11:22] <pcnet32> zejosh: cd ~/Desktop
[11:22] <damaltor> zejosh: follow the manual on the homepage exactly! you have to copy a file manually in the end
[11:23] <eyyYo> Hello everyone. When i activate the nVidia drivers in the Restricted Drivers Manager and restart my computer, a "System is currently running in low-graphics mode"-message shows up. Apparently Ubuntu is unable to find the drivers "nvidia" ("nv" works fine though, but no desktop effects). I have done a driver update from the nvidia.com website, and thats what messed everything up. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks.

[11:30] <whabo> is there a way u can boot 2 distros together what adjustments do i have to make .. to let grub recognize both distros on both partitions thx ...
[11:30] <ephemient> McMenace: convmv changes the encoding of the filename, iconv is the standard tool for encoding text
[11:30] <loguser1> suddenty two of ntfs partitiions have disappeard...
[11:30] <krimx> whabo: grub should detect both automatically

[11:31] <timob> you are looking for text encoding ?
[11:31] <ephemient> McMenace: what do you want? the encoding of the filename?
[11:31] <McMenace> encoding of the filename
[11:31] <bicycledaave> is anyone here who keeping learning note with some tools in ubuntu? is there any effective tools?
[11:31] <ephemient> McMenace: Ubuntu treats filenames as UTF-8 by default, but this is obviously not the case here
[11:31] <McMenace> have an older windows ddisk and need to copy the files
[11:31] <CapaH> Can anyone help me get my wifi to work? I can iwlist scan, I can iwconfig essid <to my network essid>, but when I dhclient it just times out, and I get this strange warning: "Unknown hardware type 801" - anyone?

[11:33] <livingdaylight> i've also installed irssi so i could get real.... but don't know how to get going. Can someone tell me how to connect for starters... errrhum... sorry, :s
[11:33] <dschaed> Hi there. I habe a problem starting a daemon on startup. I installed mongrel_cluster as daemon. I can start it with 'sudo /etc/init.d/mongrel_cluster' start. I added a symlink in rc2.d. But at boottime it is not run. What could be the Problem? (Ubuntu 7.10)
[11:33] <livingdaylight> Anyone else installed devilspie? just did so following the hack from ubuntugeek.com http://tinyurl.com/24e49t
[11:33] <damaltor> whabo: edit /etc/grub/menu.lst
[11:33] <manue> manue
[11:34] <whabo> thx
[11:34] <ephemient> whabo: if they don't share the same /boot partition, you can make one grub chainload the other
[11:34] <ephemient> whabo: or you could merge their /boot/grub/grub.conf's
[11:34] <krimx> livingdaylight: check out the manual on irssi's page. (quickie -> /connect irc.freenode.net )

[11:34] <whabo> thats is what i get
[11:35] <whabo> how do you do that?
[11:35] <McMenace> sudo mount -o iocharset=iso8859-1 -t vfat /dev/sda5 /media/TMP/
[11:35] <krimx> whabo: try gedit
[11:35] <McMenace> problem with the file type
[11:35] <McMenace> whats wrong here
[11:35] <un_dave> is it possible to access something in a directory that has been used as a mount point without unmounting the disk?
[11:36] <bullgard4> "Launchpad is off for maintenance." How long did such an outage last on the average in the past?
[11:36] <Aaron_Mason> hey all... how the hell are you supposed to download the dvd images when no filesystem on earth supports files that big?
[11:36] <timob> McMenace: whare are u trying to do ? .... cant you access the file?
[11:36] <whabo> gedit opens up note pad
[11:36] <Aaron_Mason> it was on fat32 but then it died cos the file got too big so I moved it to an NTFS partition, and it died there too
[11:36] <Nicke> bullgard4: It was a planned maintenance
[11:37] <McMenace> timob: never mind
[11:37] <ephemient> un_dave: mount --bind the directory under it to somewhere else
[11:37] <krimx> Aaron_Mason: so use ext3?
[11:37] <timob> McMenace: like was mentioned u can use iconv to convert the filename ...
[11:37] <bullgard4> Nicke: How long does a planned maintenance take on the average?
[11:38] <Nicke> bullgard4: No idea.. probably depends on the reason as why the maintenance are being done :). This time it was to roll out a new release
[11:38] <Nicke> bullgard4: "03.00 - 11.00 UTC" was the planned time now, fwiw
[11:38] <bullgard4> Nicke: ok
[11:39] <Kaur> Hi
[11:39] <livingda1light> Yo Ubunteros!
[11:39] <rahmen> Hi! I'm trying to fix ontv.. here's the how-to: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/ontv/trunk/README?view=markup but I don't really understand what to do.. "2. make" <-- wtf? can someone translate plz? =)
[11:39] <Kaur> Could someone please offer solutions or at least take a guess on that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3826601
[11:40] <void^> rahmen: run 'make'
[11:40] <weltschmerz> i have a problem.  when one user has sound on, like say music, another logged-in user cannot hear sounds.
[11:40] <xen_caapn> i've added several themes to both .themes in home and /usr/share/themes , yet none are showing up in xubuntu's user interface settings. what could be the problem here?
[11:41] <Aaron_Mason> krimx - i was using ext3 under coLinux but the kernel supplied doesn't have large file support
[11:41] <rahmen> void^: the file 'make'? there are 2 files with make in it's name: Makefile.am and Makefile.in
[11:41] <McMenace> ok
[11:41] <Kaur> xen_caapn: They are installed when u drag them to the theme window
[11:41] <McMenace> problem boild down to encoding is good and filenames are shit
[11:42] <Kaur> xen_caapn: nothing must be done manually
[11:42] <McMenace> so i have files that look in the bash like this
[11:42] <timob> xen_caapn: can u use the install button on the apperence settings page
[11:42] <McMenace> �bung II.doc
[11:42] <void^> rahmen: the command make.
[11:42] <McMenace> i can not get hold of the files via the bash, no tab, no copy&paste works to do something with the file
[11:42] <McMenace> using nautilus i can rename the file fine
[11:43] <xen_caapn> Kaur , you cannot drag and drop these themes, i'm on xubuntu by the way
[11:43] <xen_caapn> timob , what install button ?
[11:43] <Kaur> xen_caapn: Hm...
[11:43] <McMenace> any ideas on renamng all files of the disk at once
[11:43] <rahmen> void^: "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop."
[11:44] <bullgard4> Kaur: May be the following observation will shed another view on your problem: I do not get a beep sound under all Ubuntu distributions when hard-installed. But the Ubuntu 7.10 desktop life installation produces the beep sound as expected.
[11:44] <void^> rahmen: you probably didn't (successfully) run configure before first.
[11:44] <void^> -before
[11:44] <McMenace> anyone any ideas on how to rename my files?
[11:44] <rahmen> void^: ok.. where do I do the configure? in the ontv map or in home?
[11:44] <timob> McMenace: um so u can access the files from the command line?
[11:44] <timob> s/can/cant
[11:45] <Kaur> bullgard4: What do u mean by 'life installation'?
[11:45] <krimx> McMenace: I had the same problem with old files which had å ä ö in the filenames when I installed Ubuntu. Don't remember exactly how I solved it but I googled a bit and found a (command line if I remember correctly) program that fixed it.
[11:45] <void^> rahmen: in the directory you extracted the source to. there should be a script called configure there.
[11:45] <rahmen> void^: yep it's there
[11:45] <ephemient> McMenace: maybe you should just copy them over first and convert the filenames second; I have to convert filenames to/from GBK/sjis/iso8859-1 all the time, from different sources :(
[11:46] <bullgard4> Kaur: A life installation is to use a life CD for booting and then operating an operating system.
[11:46] <bazhang> life = live
[11:46] <Blew-even> O.o
[11:46] <Kaur> bullgard4: no, unfortunately I'm not using a live cd
[11:46] <rahmen> void^: found the error: "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"
[11:46] <Kaur> bullgard4: though it would definitely explain things:)
[11:47] <ephemient> McMenace: convmv probably handles that case, but I've never used it; I just do (for i in *; mv -v "$i" "$(iconv -fiso8859-1 <<<"$i")"; done) or something similar
[11:47] <void^> rahmen: install build-essential, run configure, install any -dev packages for things it wants, repeat until it runs without errors.
[11:47] <pcnet32> McMenace: can you try this: http://phpfi.com/278733
[11:47] <McMenace> ephemient: the problem is that they will not copy
[11:48] <McMenace> bash sais it can not create the destination file
[11:50] <ephemient> McMenace: are you copying from FAT to Linux, or what?
[11:53] <tarelerulz> Broadcom 802.11b/g wlan I have read a lot on it. downloading the driver her and stuff ndiswrapper says I should use the 32 driver for my card ,but when I download the drivers it don't say 32bit and then 64 and the bcmwl6.inf says something about 64 bit . I look for the driver my vista system use and it is bcmwl6.sys and I thought a bcmwl6.inf would do that trick don't it don't work ? I am lost
[11:53] <ephemient> McMenace: let me clarify.  Linux-native filesystems treat filenames as nothing but a bunch of bytes, so encoding doesn't matter (except to tools that want to display the filename etc.), but other filesystems (FAT, NTFS, ...) don't work that way
[11:54] <McMenace> pcnet32: yes work and how to do it recursively
[11:54] <chazco> Whats the best intermediate format for Vista/Linux? (e.g. a shared partition)
[11:54] <McMenace> putting `ls -R` istaed of * dos not give the full path
[11:54] <pcnet32> McMenace: wait
[11:54] <popai> i have in mi PC 512 dual ceanel Geil DDR PC3200, and 1 slot free, if i put 512 PC320 module (to make 1024MB), will worck ?
[11:54] <Amaranth> chazco: vfat (fat32)
[11:54] <chazco> hmm... using FAT32 atm but having trouble using apache
[11:55] <McMenace> ephemient: ok and bash's cp ahs a problem with it so i thought renaming helps
[11:55] <Amaranth> popai: that's more of a hardware question
[11:55] <tarelerulz> chazco , vista is ntfs  . I use ntfs-3g to mount it fine
[11:55] <Amaranth> popai: if your machine can use that RAM then Ubuntu will use it
[11:55] <McMenace> and problem is the encoding is utf-8 and its a ext3 volume
[11:55] <Max0> Hi i want to install ubuntu on a new pc i have... its a IB9 motherboard and it needs a ITE 8211F IDE driver for the setup. I can get windows to work with this driver but can anyone help me get ubuntu on there?
[11:55] <McMenace> the problem came when coping from win drive
[11:55] <Amaranth> chazco: Why are you hosting files on  the fat32 partition?
[11:55] <McMenace> and that is history
[11:55] <cox> hello all, i need to flash my bios, how i've got the utility & the rom, how do I add it to a cd and make that cd bootable
[11:55] <chazco> Yep... thought about that but i prefer a seperate area for files (either OS can break big style, a seperate partitio nmakes it safer)
[11:55] <sint> hey, when using apt i get the following message: "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:" with a long list of packages. can i trust this and remove them?
[11:55] <McMenace> so only renaming is an option
[11:55] <chazco> Its where i develop my website Amaranth
[11:56] <chazco> Not a live server
[11:56] <McMenace> so i need a way to rename all filenames on the volume
[11:56] <McMenace> and i have a problem using the � in regex or some like it
[11:57] <pcnet32> McMenace: http://phpfi.com/278735
[11:57] <pcnet32> McMenace: caution, start the script in the right directory
[11:57] <ephemient> McMenace: in this situation, I can't imagine why cp would give you the error that it did, though
[11:58] <chazco> I think FAT32s lack of permissions etc causes Apache to fail
[11:59] <tarelerulz> Does Ubuntu 7.`10 come with what is need to compile stuff or do you have to donwload if so what do I need to download . I wold ask on Ubuntu or look ,but I don't have net on it
[11:59] <Amaranth> tarelerulz: The default install comes with enough to compile kernel modules
[11:59] <Amaranth> tarelerulz: But afaik it can't build regular apps without a couple more things
[12:00] <stefg> !build | tarelerulz
[12:00] <ubotu> tarelerulz: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:00] <Amaranth> The last bit of that is wrong, iirc all repos are enabled by default in gutsy
[12:00] <Amaranth> If you did a clean install, anyway
[12:00] <tarelerulz> Have you ever had wireless card work for stuff like irc ,but not work for web pages ?
[12:00] <Amaranth> tarelerulz: can't say I have
[12:01] <Amaranth> That's pretty weird
[12:01] <Amaranth> But I'm pretty clueless about networking so...
[12:01] <Enselic> tarelerulz: how do you know it doesn't work for web pages?
[12:01] <pcnet32> tarelerulz: i think that's not a wireless issue, but a an mtu issue
[12:01] <tarelerulz> Wierd and fun all at the same time. I mean if it did not work I would under stand more
[12:01] <pcnet32> tarelerulz: try sudo ifconfig your_wireless_interface mtu 1200
[12:01] <tarelerulz> Well, Under Vista  web works  abit slow ,but it woulds .  ON Ubuntu it times out
[12:02] <tarelerulz> What is mtu?
[12:02] <pcnet32> tarelerulz: maximum transmission unit
[12:02] <pcnet32> tarelerulz: i guess some routers on the way to the web server do not properly report icmp fragmentation needed
[12:04] <tarelerulz> I think I am going to build  the stable ndiswrapper , then find the bcmwl6.inf and see if it works
[12:04] <tarelerulz> The lame part is I do the normal thing and the wirelss card don't show up in ifconfig
[12:05] <rahmen> void^: Hi again.. :] I get this error now: "configure: error: could not find Python headers" and I was thinking I should dl the requirement stuff.. but then I got the same error when I tried configuring them.. so what to do to get rid of that error?
[12:05] <void^> rahmen: did you install python-dev?
[12:06] <whileimhere> Hi. When I use the sudo lshw command in the terminal it reports several areas that read " To Be Filled By O.E.M." Can anyone tell me where I can change these?
[12:07] <cox> does anyone know how to make a bootable cd?
[12:08] <pcnet32> whileimhere: you can't unless you flash your bios. those strings are read from the bios.
[12:08] <whileimhere> Ohhhh
[12:08] <whileimhere> I see. That does help out and I dont want to go to all that hassle of flashing the bios for something like that.
[12:08] <pcnet32> whileimhere: the manufacturer of your pc/notebook simply didn't change these strings
[12:08] <whabo> i tried to install ubuntu and Pclinuxos .. on my new HP pavillion dv6636nr laptop... WITH no luck at all .... the same liveCD runs and installs just fine on my old compaq presario laptop. Is it possible that this specific laptop is blocking liveCD to initiate? i have had more than 15 attempts with 2 diffrent distros. ubuntu and pclinuxos. any help would be appreciated. btw the CD runs .. i go to teh main menu ... when i click on start/in
[12:08] <whabo> stall ubuntu it gives me several [ok] but then an error/failur pops up.... thx..

[12:10] <tarelerulz> Whabo I fell you on that I have a HP Pavilion dv660cl  and I have hard time getting the wireless to work right . In fact it times out on web pages all the time
[12:11] <pcnet32> IMHO broadcom wireless cards are a piece of sh**
[12:12] <whileimhere> Okay here is a tough one. Is there a program that will help me discover what video modes are available on my laptop?
[12:12] <whabo> tarelerulz: no solution ??? :(
[12:12] <dead> hi i need help to get working 041e:4036 Creative Technology, Ltd Webcam Live!/Live! Pro webcam and cheese ?
[12:13] <tarelerulz> Well, I get irc and stuff ,but the net pages just time out and I am lost as to way whabo
[12:13] <pcnet32> tarelerulz: can you at least try lowering the mtu size as i suggested?
[12:13] <tarelerulz> I try use bcmwl6.inf to set it up . That is what I think vista use ,but I have no way of find that out vista's files layout is hard to understand
[12:13] <whabo> tarelerulz: ow wow so i bought the wrong laptop .. shhot its only 2 weeks old
[12:14] <dead> light is on and no camerafound in cheese
[12:14] <tarelerulz> I would not say that . I have learn from LInux you get stuff working.  It is very cool when you do
[12:15] <tarelerulz> pcnet32, I will do what you said it could not hear. I do have to say when I   remove ndiswrapper the setting will get lost right.  SO if that don't work I could start over
[12:15] <whabo> tarelerulz: ill get an external adapter i dont care .. but the prob is i cant boot the CD i cant install ubuntu period ... been like that for a week now :S
[12:16] <tarelerulz> Whabo , I get Ubuntu 7.10 installer cd/live cd and it worked ,but 7.04 did not work at all .
[12:17] <stefg> whabo: so where and how does installation fail exactly ?
[12:17] <robin> help! am trying to play a dvd and for some reason, with the vlc player, and with the ogle dvd player, as soon as i start playing the disc the program closes. has anyone had that problem?
[12:18] <stefg> !dvd | robin
[12:18] <ubotu> robin: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[12:19] <pcnet32> stefg: from what i get out of his description, the live-cd does not finish booting to the desktop
[12:19] <whabo> stefg ... i get this error while installing (248.708000) bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_mircocode5.fw" not available or load failed
[12:19] <pcnet32> whabo: that's just a warning, the system should continue booting there
[12:20] <whabo> tarelerulz: the CD i have is 7.10 :S lol
[12:20] <stefg> whabo: that means that the (proprietary) firmware for the wifi isn't found. but that should not cause a boot failure, just the wifi not to work
[12:20] <whabo> pcnet32: nope tried for a week now would boot at all ..
[12:21] <whileimhere> Where can I change the color depth of my screen?
[12:21] <pcnet32> whabo: so the bcm43xx... message is the last thing you see?
[12:21] <whabo> stefg: it keeps giving me teh same error over and over when i press enter to continue wouldnt boot at all
[12:21] <stefg> whabo: you probably need some additonal boot parameters ("cheat-codes") to make the kernel work with your chipset
[12:21] <whabo> pcnet32: yup
[12:21] <stefg> !boot | whabo
[12:21] <ubotu> whabo: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[12:22] <pcnet32> stefg: i guess it is one of those buggy acpi bioses again...
[12:22] <whabo> stefg: im nota programmer :S lol i cant do add things to teh kernal
[12:22] <stefg> whabo: i'd try to boot with 'noacpi noapic nolapic' first to see if it succeeds. then leave out one after the other to determine which parameter it is exactly
[12:23] <pcnet32> whabo: giving boot options has nothing to do with programming
[12:23] <cox> hello all
[12:23] <cox> can anyone tell me how to make a bootable iso?
[12:23] <stefg> whabo: you just have to write some words at the boot prompt. see ubotus link for instructions
[12:23] <whabo> stefg: so if i go to link it will tell me what to do?
[12:23] <robin> thanx. i have the lib3dvd thingy, installed, have just reinstalled it in the package manager. i keyed the sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh command into the terminal like stated in the ubuntu help page, but the terminal reacts with "comman not found"!!!
[12:23] <stefg> whabo: right
[12:24] <whabo> stefg: aight ill be back then let me check it out thx

[12:31] <loguser1> my storage partitions just disappear... some times 2 ntfs drives. some times all.... why. iam using dolphin , k 7.10 ?
[12:33] <stefg> loguser1: inspect dmesg if it's on the kernel or hal level, or if it's a KDE problem. KDE support is in #kubuntu
[12:36] <guh> how can i make a script on /etc/skel thats is executed automatically everytime a user is created? i want to add a quota to the users automatically.
[12:36] <SchwarzeKrause> Hi, all. Somebody, please, say me, what are the current kernel and alsa in Ubuntu
[12:36] <loguser1> what is the past bin addres
[12:36] <rsk> SchwarzeKrause: kernel
[12:36] <rsk> 2.6.22-14-generic
[12:36] <ephemient> guh: man adduser
[12:36] <rsk> and alsa 1.0.14
[12:37] <guh> ephemient: i dont use adduser
[12:37] <rsk> why do you wanna know SchwarzeKrause ?
[12:38] <SchwarzeKrause> rsk: Damn. I guess they won't switch to 2.6.23 and alsa 1.0.15 till the next release. I can only get my hardware working under this versions in Arch or alikes.
[12:38] <shark87> t
[12:38] <rsk> why do you guess that
[12:39] <pcnet32> SchwarzeKrause: you could compile your own 2.6.23 kernel on ubuntu
[12:39] <ephemient> SchwarzeKrause: you can build and upgrade ALSA yourself without changing the kernel, I think there's instructures for that too...
[12:39] <ephemient> on the wiki somewhere...
[12:40] <PowerJC> would i be able to run ubuntu on this computer: amd k6-2 450 384mb ram, 4gb hard disc     geforce 2 mx400
[12:40] <loguser1> stefg: http://pastebin.ca/796794
[12:40] <SchwarzeKrause> ephemient: Is there no package for alsa-lib, alsa-utils and alsa-driver 1.0.15 somewhere in 3rd party repos? And how about that "sid-like" branch for Ubuntu?
[12:40] <ephemient> SchwarzeKrause: we don't know about 3rd party repos here ;)
[12:41] <rsk> SchwarzeKrause: use hardy for that
[12:41] <rsk> ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:41] <stefg> PowerJC: yes, that meets the min. requirements. But for a better experience and more free disk space i'd recommend xubuntu for that box
[12:41] <PowerJC> whats the difference between xubuntu and ubuntu?
[12:42] <stefg> !xubuntu
[12:42] <ubotu> xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[12:42] <SchwarzeKrause> ephemient: ))) OK. Hardy is the next version? I've heard there should be a branch which won't ever be released, which is always unstable. Am I mistaken?
[12:42] <ephemient> !info alsa-base hardy
[12:42] <ephemient> hmm, doesn't work like that?
[12:42] <ubotu> alsa-base: ALSA driver configuration files. In component main, is important. Version 1.0.15-2ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 190 kB, installed size 380 kB
[12:42] <rsk> there you go then SchwarzeKrause
[12:42] <ephemient> SchwarzeKrause: Hardy does have ALSA 1.0.15
[12:42] <SchwarzeKrause> Oh, that's nice
[12:42] <ephemient> SchwarzeKrause: Ubuntu doesn't have a "sid" branch though
[12:43] <cox> can anyone give me a hand making a bootable cd
[12:43] <cox> its driving me crazy
[12:43] <kinroad> I have problem with wine+guildwars. When I start 'wine gw.exe -opengl' , the game runs fast but i cant see the characters
[12:43] <rsk> cox: get imgburn
[12:44] <rsk> cox: and you dont have to worry about a thing
[12:44] <ephemient> !appdb | kinroad
[12:44] <ubotu> kinroad: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[12:44] <rsk> kinroad: what wine version?
[12:44] <rsk> kinroad: run wine --version
[12:44] <cox> rsk: does that create a bootable image including the files i want on it?
[12:44] <kinroad> rsk: 0.9.46
[12:44] <SchwarzeKrause> ephemient: I don't get the policy of Ubuntu. Will things like gnome 2.20.2 ever get into Gutsy? Or would they appear in next major version only?
[12:44] <rsk> cox: um no tought you just had problems burning ubuntu..
[12:45] <stefg> loguser1: looks quite normal. my guess is that it is a problem with KDE/KDE's implmentation of hal or dolphin/d3lphin. so i'd head for #kubuntu
[12:45] <rsk> kinroad: winehq.org/download upgrade.
[12:45] <rsk> to 0.9.49
[12:45] <bmwerks> im trying to get wine to run a program which needs a dll file which is in the same folder but ti says i need to import what can i do??
[12:45] <cox> rsk: unfortunatly not, i need to flsh my bios, i have the files just cant make a bootable cd
[12:45] <rsk> SchwarzeKrause: no not unless it's really needed. or it's a security fix included in the release
[12:45] <loguser1> stefg:  i got it. it is showing all in /media. but when i click storage folders. it only shows the ext3 and fat files. and some times shows nothiing why. is that
[12:46] <kinroad> rsk: what is the apt line for it?
[12:46] <rsk> kinroad: read what is said
[12:46] <rsk> 13:45 < rsk> kinroad: winehq.org/download upgrade.
[12:46] <stefg> loguser1: don't ask her about KDE.... this is ubuntu (read: GNOME) channel. haven't used KDE for years
[12:47] <SchwarzeKrause> rsk: Oh, I guess Debian enny is my choice then) Although they still didn't switch to kernel 2.6.23, but otherwise they are reasonably up2date
[12:47] <stefg> loguser1: and clean your partition layout. your have a primary partition past an extended one, that might be related to the problem
[12:47] <zylche> I think my respitories are broken... is there any way to get them fixed?
[12:47] <ephemient> SchwarzeKrause: Gnome is on a 6-month release schedule, Ubuntu is on a 6-month release schedule.  Ubuntu releases will always pick up the latest stable Gnome (I don't think this is written anywhere, though)
[12:48] <rsk> zylche: no not without you asking a question that can be answeared
[12:49] <loguser1> hm
[12:49] <loguser1> thx
[12:49] <stefg> !easysource | zylche
[12:49] <ubotu> zylche: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[12:49] <loguser1> what are the drivers for ntfs?
[12:50] <rsk> loguser1: ntfs-3g
[12:50] <loguser1> rsk:  i have those but my partition is not showing up
[12:50] <loguser1> rsk:  it is mounted . present in media. but now showing any files.
[12:52] <larson9999> what happened to kuickview?  it's my favorite photo viewing app
[12:52] <bmwerks> im trying to get wine to run a program which needs a dll file which is in the same folder but ti says i need to import what can i do??
[12:52] <djfm> hi
[12:52] <stefg> loguser1: delphin is a new and immature piece of software. so if you can manually mount those partitions 'sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/<yourpartition> /mnt' then it's a kde problem
[12:52] <rsk> bmwerks: put it in .wine/drive_c/system32
[12:52] <djfm> is it possible for a user to have no password?
[12:53] <funto> hi all
[12:53] <ephemient> djfm: yes. they will be unable to log in through many services, however
[12:53] <Slart> djfm: have you tried?
[12:53] <stefg> djfm: no
[12:54] <djfm> I tried, it always says "password is too short" or so
[12:54] <ephemient> djfm: passwd -d
[12:54] <stefg> djfm: you can have a 'passwordless' login, but that means just it's not asked for. it still exists
[12:55] <funto> I've got a problem concerning ATI drivers : I've installed them, and it seems my Radeon X600 Mobility's hardware acceleration works, but my OpenGL version is stuck to 1.3 (while I should have 2.0) and glxinfo | grep direct says I don't have direct rendering...
[12:55] <funto> any idea?
[12:55] <ephemient> djfm: deletes a password. this disables login...
[12:55] <djfm> Ok this is passwordless login that I want, how do I do this?
[12:55] <djfm> this is for a beginner user
[12:55] <ephemient> djfm: gdm? kdm? other?
[12:55] <djfm> that has nothing to hide :)
[12:55] <djfm> gdm
[12:55] <djfm> I didnt see the option
[12:56] <ephemient> djfm: System > Adminstration > Login Window > Security > Enable Automatic Login
[12:56] <ephemient> djfm: not quite the same as passwordless, but it's close
[12:57] <djfm> but autmatic login will log in the user automatically wont it?
[12:57] <ephemient> djfm: for real passwordless, you can edit /etc/pam.d/gdm, but if you don't know what you're doing, don't touch that
[12:58] <zylche> thanks stefg!
[12:58] <zylche> That's fixed my problem.
[12:59] <_Garbage_> hi all
[13:00] <netoperek> hello
[13:02] <funto> nobody has an idea for my ATI driver problem?
[13:03] <stefg> funto: that problem seems quite common, you should be able to find help on the forums.
[13:03] <DanaG> That's odd: only one of my volumes on my desktop shows its size.
[13:04] <DanaG> Cruzer, RECOVERY, XP, and Vista (60.0GB)
[13:04] <hypn0> how do I install realplayer in 7.10, the download linux at real.com/linux seems to be broken, can I use 7.04 realplay package
[13:04] <DanaG> Each of those is a partition with a label, but only the last one shows its size.
[13:04] <rsk> hypn0: what do you need realplayer for
[13:04] <DanaG> I'd like to either show it on all or not show it on any.
[13:04] <funto> stefg: I've already tried to find out this...
[13:04] <neopsyche> usser: you home?
[13:05] <hypn0> to play streaming files rsk :-/
[13:05] <funto> but I wondered if someone on IRC already had the response, which could make me lose less time ^^
[13:05] <neopsyche> Can anyone help me access my cellphone memory via usb on ubuntu?
[13:05] <hypn0> rsk: what else can I use :-/
[13:05] <rsk> hypn0: mplayer?
[13:06] <hypn0> that plays all real streaming formats rsk?
[13:07] <stefg> funto: http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1287113 ? (don't understnd french too well
[13:07] <ephemient> hypn0: installing win32codecs, it does play real's streaming formats
[13:07] <Victor```> okay
[13:07] <Victor```> where do I make a bug report
[13:07] <DanaG> vlc does streaming, too.
[13:07] <Victor```> one that is amazingly necessary
[13:07] <Victor```> as it's a pathetic typo
[13:07] <osiris__> Good afternoon all
[13:07] <hypn0> okay, I will try mplayer or vlc then, thanks
[13:08] <funto> stefg: ok, I take a look at this
[13:08] <funto> and I'm french :p
[13:08] <osiris__> Can anyone tell me if the large fonts issue is a gnome problem?
[13:08] <funto> stefg: thanks ^^
[13:10] <neopsyche> How do i see what devices i have connected to system?
[13:10] <neopsyche> can anyone help me detect my phone?
[13:10] <DanaG> neopsyche: hal-device-manager
[13:10] <DanaG> can't help with the phone, though.
[13:11] <stefg> osiris__: System->Settings->Appearance->Fonts->Advanced> dpi (top left corner) play with the dpi value
[13:11] <DanaG> Actually, it's bettter to make sure DPI is correct, and then change font size.
[13:11] <DanaG> google for 'javascript dpi' for a thingy to calculate DPI.
[13:11] <Pir8> Folks, can ubuntu server be installed on a compact flash card? Anyone done it?
[13:12] <osiris__> I thought there was a bug with gnome that was causing this problem?
[13:12] <stefg> DanaG: true... someone should have told this to the ubunt-devs which decided to put in 88 dpi by defaul, while standard should be 96
[13:12] <Xzenome> Pir8, It should be possible, but you'd need one that was big enough. And no I haven't tried it.
[13:12] <alch3mist> what does this message means ? " Xine extra plugins cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)"
[13:12] <Pir8> Xzenome,  2GB ?
[13:12] <Pir8> or more ?
[13:13] <neopsyche> nobody know how to read phone via usb?
 wammu
[13:13] <Klanticus> neopsyche, what phone do you have?
[13:13] <Pir8> I acquired a MicroClient JR. PC and want to convert it into a small scale server for the purpose or web/dev
[13:13] <neopsyche> alch3mist: i can use that to access phone memory and add files?
[13:14] <Xzenome> Pir8, according to the Dapper (Desktop version though) you need at least 2GB of disk space, might be less for the server version.
[13:14] <neopsyche> Klanticus: P910i  a nice phone.
[13:14] <DanaG> Well, if you screen is 88 DPI, then 88 DPI is correct.
[13:14] <Xzenome> *Dapper CD
[13:14] <Klanticus> neopsyche, is it sony ericsson?
[13:14] <neopsyche> Klanticus: yes

[13:14] <DanaG> s/you/your/
[13:14] <ZeuGiRDoR> anybody knows about a dvd decrypter for Linux? (not a dvd ripper)
[13:14] <DanaG> !libdvdcss

 :  i you have no choice you have to install wammu
[13:33] <neopsyche> alch3mist: it shows unknown device.. on the device manager
[13:33] <Xzenome> asathoor, it won't make an installable CD, but it might be of interest http://www.linux-live.org
[13:34] <hans> asathoor: nope
[13:34] <loguser1_> how to chang my host name?
[13:34] <asathoor> Xzenome >> thanx
[13:34] <larson9999> i'm in the twilight zone.  none of my machines are working today.  it's like they're conspiring to 'get' me.
[13:34] <alch3mist> neopsyche : just open the wammu and try connect from there...
[13:34] <sparkling> stefg, so do you know if is possible to install ubuntu from a dvd rom sata?
[13:34] <neopsyche> alch3mist: wammu says wammu config not found.
[13:34] <rahmen> void^: Hi :] you know how to start ontv?? can't find the command :S
[13:34] <loguser1_> how to chang my host name?
[13:34] <loguser1_> how to chang my host name?
[13:35] <hans> loguser1_: /etc/hostname for permanent or type "hostname youhostname"
[13:35] <hans> loguser1_: and stop spamming its not helping
[13:35] <_nix_> loguser: sudo hostname <new_hostname> should do..
[13:35] <neopsyche> alch3mist: i told wammu to search for usb devices it appears to be searching for blue devices!?
[13:35] <loguser1_> hans:  thx
[13:35] <alch3mist> neopsyche : how did you install wammu?
[13:36] <Sharpie> how can i cancel startup programs?
[13:36] <neopsyche> alch3mist: sudo apt-get install wammu
[13:36] <loguser1_> hans:  is the host name =pc name  or the name coming after @ in terminal ?
[13:37] <hans> Sharpie: System -> Settings -> Gnome Session
[13:37] <alch3mist> neopsyche : did you try the phone wizard?
[13:37] <hans> loguser1_: its all of them
[13:37] <Sharpie> how can i cancel startup programs that don't appear in Sessions?
[13:37] <loguser1_> k
[13:37] <neopsyche> alch3mist: yes
[13:37] <stefg> sparkling: i can't tell, because i don't know which driver would be needed, and how the Live CD kernel is configured. The usual procedure would involve a 'insmod <some_module> at the prompt you are dropped to (to load the missing driver), and then continue booting (be typind Ctrl-d to leave the shell)
[13:37] <neopsyche> alch3mist: Gammu/Wammu supports Sony Ericsson 901a - is that similar? http://cihar.com/gammu/phonedb/sony-ericsson/
[13:37] <hans> loguser1_: like the after @ is your hostname and your pc name
[13:37] <alch3mist> neopsyche : you have 3 options to connect your phone ir / blue / and cable
[13:37] <neopsyche> alch3mist: i know..
[13:37] <neopsyche> alchemist: i am using cable
[13:38] <neopsyche> alchemist: says no phone detected?
[13:38] <sparkling> stefg, ok thanks..i will try to use the forum so...maybe there i find someone that know the correct module
[13:38] <alch3mist> neopsyche : Sony Ericsson phones
[13:38] <krim> Where it says "/^msg nickserv ident pass;wait 2000" at http://irssi.org/documentation/startup#c3 is "ident" supposed to be my nick or is it "ident"?
[13:38] <blackest> Any idea's why I cant reboot a remote system I have tried sudo reboot sudo shutdown -r now and sudo init 6 and its still up :(
[13:38] <stefg> sparkling: an easier workaround would probably be to use a USB thumbdrive ...

[13:40] <neopsyche> alch3mist: NO
[13:40] <stefg> sparkling: no... i mean using one of the methods outlined in ubotus factoid. use a CD image on a USB stick to install
[13:40] <neopsyche> alch3mist: you said.. it means it should be able to connect?
[13:40] <alch3mist> neopsyche : connect it first using wammu

[13:41] <Pir8> Guys I have a huge problem, I just rebooted and when I went to the boot screen I only saw the server kernel to boot into...my regular 7.10 kernel wasn't listed in there. What do I do to get that back so I can boot in normally?
 : try phone wizard and follow the instruction from there.. after that.. connect your phone using the "connect" in the menu
[13:41] <rsk> then click and draw the mouse
[13:41] <rsk> and hold ctrl
[13:41] <neopsyche> alch3mist: it says guided etC? which one do i take?
[13:41] <hans> Pir8: sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic
[13:41] <larson9999> any recommendations for a tool that helps you find large files/directories on your system?
[13:42] <[swb]> larson9999, yeah
[13:42] <alch3mist> use the default "auto"
[13:42] <[swb]> in applications->accesories ther is adisk usage analyser
[13:42] <Pir8> hans is it possible that the generic is there, but not visible in the boot menu?
[13:42] <[swb]> and its awesome
[13:42] <neopsyche> whats the command for devices again?
[13:42] <hans> Pir8: can be, then just "sudo grub.update
 : i think you know the rest ...
[13:43] <hans> Pir8: sudo grub-update
[13:43] <cox> anyone here know how to make a bootable cd?
[13:43] <neopsyche> alch3mist: actually I need someone to help me through this but anyway.
[13:43] <Pir8> hans no grub-update command
[13:43] <SHRIKEE> hey all :)
[13:44] <axyd> ha+
 : i mean try the phone wizard first and read the instruction there.. it will help you.. and you will know the rest from there... that's what i mean
[13:44] <SHRIKEE> quick question, is there a proper-ish driver for ubuntu and ati cards yet?
[13:44] <Pir8> Which file contains the boot menu settings?
[13:44] <neopsyche> alch3mist: look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283766  It seems more complicated than you make out to detect the USB
 : look just because p900 isn't listed but wammu clarifies it "sony ericson phones" which means most phone all you have to do is try before you complain... it his problem is connecting the modem which is very different that yours

[14:03] <neopsyche> so.. /dev/tty/S02 ?>
[14:03] <neopsyche> im a noob
[14:04] <thor> neopsyche I am not sure how to determine what the ./dev of the phone is....would just have to do some googling and some playing around with values
[14:05] <thor> neopsyche let me have a couple of minutes to see what I can find for you

[14:08] <Lavr> I do not use Ubunto but I am writing an install doc for a CGI based app. I need a simple info. What is the default user and group that httpd runs as in Ubunto. Is it www-data like debian?
[14:09] <neopsyche> thor: this is so confusing .. its advanced
[14:09] <thor> neopsyche: I agree...linux still has a way to go to be as user friendly as that other thing
[14:10] <CapaH> This is an OPEN NETWORK, no keys, no encryption---- I just need to get this to work
[14:10] <thor> neopsyche: what exactly are you trying to do...a skype phone?
[14:10] <CapaH> Can anyone help me?
[14:10] <neopsyche> thor: connect SE p910i to pc so it detects and allows me access to the filesystem so i can add files to the phone internal memory and memory card.
[14:10] <neopsyche> thor: using USB cradle
[14:11] <thor> neopsyche: oh...ok, then it will mount....
[14:11] <neopsyche> thor: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.t3.co.uk/__data/assets/fp_auto_layout_image/60314/varieties/6.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.t3.co.uk/reviews/communication/mobile_phone/sony_ericsson_p910i&h=368&w=450&sz=25&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=fAyD0CpqJ_PzRM:&tbnh=104&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dp910i%26gbv%3D2%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG
[14:11] <thor> neopsyche: with the phone plugged into the usb port open a terminal and type 'mount' and see if the phone shows up
[14:12] <thor> neopsyche: it will probably show as /media/something
[14:12] <neopsyche> thor: i only see my cdrom and external hd on media
[14:12] <thor> neopsyche: if it doesn't the next step is really neat <smile>
[14:12] <neopsyche> thor: ok
[14:12] <neopsyche> ?
[14:12] <thor> neopsyche: ok....try this.....
[14:12] <neopsyche> ok
[14:12] <thor> neopsyche: unplug the phone....
[14:13] <neopsyche> thor: ok its out
[14:13] <Lavr> Can someone do a ps -ef | grep httpd and tell me what user their httpd runs at so I can get my install doc for TWiki to be correct for Ubunto as well.
[14:13] <thor> neopsyche: open a terminal and type this....'tail -f /var/log/messages'...
[14:13] <neopsyche> thor: ok?
[14:13] <thor> neopsyche: then plug the phone back in and watch what happens in the terminal...you should see several lines of information as the  system recognizes the phone
[14:14] <neopsyche> thor: it just shows.. Nov 25 16:12:27 futuretech -- MARK --
[14:14] <neopsyche>  as the last message?
[14:14] <tntCry> does any1 use a laptop here?
[14:15] <tntCry> any ubuntu laptop users here?
[14:15] <thor> neopsyche: the tail command will 'follow' the end of the log file and will show the new lines as they are added....
[14:15] <thor> neopsyche: there should be several new lines as linux determines the phone and mounts it
[14:15] <neopsyche> thor: it doesnt apear to be tailing.
[14:15] <vidsan> Need ATI x1600-help!! No direct rendering
[14:15] <neopsyche> thor: perhaps the machine isnt determining the phone and mounting it .. which is the problem i think
[14:15] <tntCry> who is using ubuntu on a laptop?
[14:16] <thor> neopsyche: if no new lines showed up then linux isn't recognizing the phone at all...then it will be a major project to get it to work
[14:16] <picard_pwns_kirk> tntCry: me
[14:16] <tntCry> vidsan, i need x1600 help also on my other laptop
[14:16] <neopsyche> thor: no no new lines?
[14:16] <tntCry> picard_pwns_kirk, ok 1 question 1 answer , hows battery life?
[14:16] <thor> neopsyche: first step will be to determine what modules have to be loaded for the phone (look at the insmod command)
[14:17] <thor> neopsyche: once you have the modules loaded try plugging it in again and see if you get anywhere.
[14:17] <neopsyche> thor: theres this How to guide .. but its in GERMAN .. AARGH! :-)
[14:17] <vidsan> tntCry: What's your problem? I have X1600 Pro 512PCIe on a stationary
[14:17] <picard_pwns_kirk> tntCry: I couldn't tell you, the battery was shot on the laptop when I loaded Ubuntu onto it

[14:33] <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.

[14:39] <linxeh> Asterix: does your card provide syncongreen? I suspect not unless you are using an SGI or Sun workstation
[14:40] <linxeh> Asterix: dpms = display power management signalling
[14:40] <linxeh> Asterix: ie, do you want your pc to turn your monitor to standby when you arent using it ?
[14:40] <Asterix> linxeh: I'm not sure if it does...  I was looking at my new monitor spec sheet and it did so I was curious about getting it all squared away in xorg
[14:40] <anton> hi, sagtmal funzt der drucker ip4200 von canon native
[14:41] <Asterix> linxeh: okay, so it's power management...  my card is an nvidia 6800 so it probably doesn't have the syncongreen then
[14:41] <linxeh> Asterix: your PC will support it if it is a half decent one, your graphics card will use separate horizontal and vertical syncs on dedicated pins. older sun and sgi workstations created a composite sync and multiplexed it onto the green component of the video

[14:56] <Asterix> Okay, I put into xorg.conf my new refresh rates of 30-82 horizontal and 50-85 for vertical but when I go to the Screen Resolution app it only shows 50 and 55 for refresh.  Is there another file to edit to change it here?
[14:56] <Sharpie> Asterix: the app is always wrong

[14:57] <HarimaKenji> hi, I'm using truecrypt to keep my partitions safe, however they get mapped to different device nodes while booting from time to time so my mount script has become ineffective. I believe the uuid is the key to solve this but i can't query it from the devices, it says "unknown volume type". Any ideas?
[14:57] <Asterix> Sharpie: the screen info thing says 65 for horizontal and 60 for vertical..  I want to get it higher though.
[14:58] <Sharpie> Asterix: the entire ubuntu screen managing program is useless, like, it tells me my ref rate is 55hz but it's really 75
[14:58] <Asterix> Sharpie: also, my video card ramdac supports some outrageously high number of 2048x1530 at 85hz so I don't think that card is limiting me.
[14:58] <sunny_> kjdhkadjh
[14:58] <Sharpie> Asterix: actually, your screen probably doesn't support that resolution
[14:59] <Sharpie> Asterix: unless you have like a 23" screen or something
[14:59] <stefano> Asterix, is seems possible though, that your card supports that resolution
[14:59] <Asterix> Sharpie: I have a 22 inch wide that supports 1680x1050

[14:59] <rhsanborn> If I may ask, what is a restricted driver?
[14:59] <Asterix> Sharpie: I'm just curious how to reach this max of 85 vertical refresh
[15:00] <sunny_> 有使用中文的人么？
[15:00] <Sharpie> Asterix: try and change it in your screen menu
[15:00] <void^> Sharpie: that's a "feature" of nvidia's driver, it reports incorrect refresh rates. set Option "DynamicTwinView" "false" to make it report actual rates.
[15:00] <stefano> rhsanborn, it's a driver that is not open source
[15:00] <Sharpie> Asterix: or pick the maximum value in the screen settings program
[15:00] <Asterix> Sharpie: max showing is only 55 :-/
[15:00] <Sharpie> Asterix: try and see if you can change it in ur screen's menu
[15:00] <stefano> rhsanborn, the ubuntu developers can't access these drivers and improve it, so youre depending on the support of the original manufacturer
[15:01] <rhsanborn> stefano: thanks. trying to get a new hp laptop to work, have had hell with the graphics card (Beforce Go 7150)0
[15:01] <ToddEDM> can someone help me, im trying to setup Ubuntu on my desktop, but thewifi card is not working.... what do i do first to troubleshoot???
[15:01] <calamity1244> hi are there good theme for gnome :s
[15:01] <Sharpie> calamity1244: use glossy, it's nice =P
[15:02] <stefano> rhsanborn, what seems to be the problem? usually, nvidia drivers are very well integrated
[15:02] <calamity1244> glossy :S
[15:02] <ToddEDM> my Gforce go6100 works great
[15:03] <rhsanborn> stefano: Actually, I had to completely reinstall the lappy with Vista. The last time I tried it (several weeks ago) it wouldn't work with any nvidia driver. I had to use the generic vesa driver
[15:04] <rhsanborn> X server couldn't start with any combination of drivers.
[15:04] <BlackDiamonds> Is there a check list of things to do when one installs Ubuntu ? Like expanding the repos list, etc etc etc. I want my fresh install to have all of that done
[15:05] <BlackDiamonds> or can all of this be done via the GUI now ?
[15:05] <stefano> rhsanborn, i'm 90% sure your card is supported. allthough it may be possible that you have to set up something manually, you may want to take a look at the nvidia website and download the driver directly. it's not so hard
[15:05] <rhsanborn> stefano: I just found an article on the unbuntu forums. It is a bit manual, which is fine. But a few weeks ago, I'm pretty sure it was impossible
[15:05] <rhsanborn> I just wanted to check the restricted driver thing
[15:06] <stefano> rhsanborn, well i hope you get it to work. if you want to use the power of your graphics adapter you might want to check out "warsow" and "openarena" :-)
[15:07] <rhsanborn> I certainly will...I'm not very impressed by it's power though :P
[15:07] <toresn> kaluna: hmm,,, xinerama seems kinda advanced... isn't there an easier way? i guess i should note that running   mplayer -vo x11 <filname.avi>   works, but not in fullscreen
[15:07] <stefano> rhsanborn, well you ought to be impressed by it's power consumption ;)

[15:11] <alexander> thanks. do you know where I might find some help on this?
[15:11] <Sh4rK> salve
[15:11] <kaluna> torsen: xinerama is not. it's just rewriting the xorg.conf file to use 2 monitors. If you install the fglrx drivers & config util from synaptic, there is a gui menu available after, i think in system/administration. But for me it never ran 2 monitors properly and I ended up with no xserver running.
[15:11] <ToddEDM> not too sure alexander

[15:12] <alexander> by the way, i am a linux noob
[15:12] <alexander> what is gdm
[15:12] <stefano> gdm is the program that asks you for your password and login
[15:13] <alexander> ok
[15:13] <stefano> well, i only have one field there not two
[15:13] <alexander> on my login i have a list of users on the left.
[15:14] <alexander> i highlight one and the user and password show   up
[15:14] <stefano> alexander: try this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[15:14] <BlackDiamonds> does the live CD automatically mount partitions ?
[15:14] <stefano> and follow the instructions
[15:14] <alexander> if i misenter the paswd
[15:14] <alexander> then i am unable to clear the fields by selecting a dif. user
[15:14] <stefano> alexander, open up a terminal and try that command

[15:15] <Sharpie> #kubuntu

[15:17] <grrr> any ideas?
[15:18] <stefano> grrr, what is hamachi?
[15:18] <stefano> grrr, it could have something to do with certificates
[15:18] <Sharpie> it's a virtual LAN program
[15:18] <stefano> does that mean VPN?
[15:18] <Sharpie> in a way
[15:18] <Sharpie> it also means FU =D
[15:19] <automan> virtual private network
[15:19] <grrr> grrr
[15:19] <grrr> something with certificates?
[15:19] <grrr> why would I not be able  to ping?
[15:19] <grrr> I did nothing with my firewall
[15:19] <stefano> naw
[15:19] <stefano> bridge devices?
[15:19] <stefano> maybe that program is crap and messed up something.
[15:20] <grrr> hamachi is considered crap free
[15:20] <grrr> well, I guess I'll ask somewhere else
[15:20] <grrr> thanks guys
[15:20] <stefano> is it from the official repositiries?
[15:20] <grrr> yes
[15:20] <stefano> i see..
[15:20] <grrr> acquired through apt-get
[15:20] <stefano> well thats complicated
[15:20] <grrr> I believe
[15:20] <Sharpie> uh
[15:20] <grrr> yeah
[15:20] <Sharpie> there's no hamachi in the repo
[15:20] <stefano> did you set up the tun/tap devices yourself?
[15:21] <grrr> according to instructions on ubuntuguide.org
[15:21] <grrr> and it worked like a charm for months
[15:21] <grrr> then *poof*
[15:21] <grrr> the updates had nothing to do with ssh, firewall, or hamachi
[15:21] <hexd> how you buy music with linux?  all the apps are for windows

[15:23] <FlyingSquirel32> I just installed gutsy on my new laptop with dual-core 64bit processor, it was running fine, but now, my system monitor panel shows the processor as maxed out, even after a reboot.
[15:24] <FlyingSquirel32> It seems just one of the cores is maxed
[15:24] <stefano> FlyingSquirel32, i have heard about that problem. i dont have a solution thought, but i'm sure if you google a bit you find a solution, sry
[15:24] <matttis> Where do I find the configuration files of kdm ?
[15:25] <RainCT> Hi
[15:25] <Jack_Sparrow> matttis: we use gnome.. the #Kubuntu room will help you with that
[15:25] <stefano> matttis, i dont know this is the ubuntu channel (as opposed to #kubuntu) but i suppose they are in /etc/kdm/
[15:25] <matttis> they dont help me :-(
[15:25] <RainCT> how can I let windows pass behind panels instead of colliding with them?
[15:25] <pakmanca> Hello everyone. I am having a hell of a problem with my sound drivers after uninstalling VirtualBox
[15:25] <Jack_Sparrow> matttis: and we dont use kde
[15:25] <stefano> just look for them in /etc/kdm or something similar
[15:25] <Jack_Sparrow> pakmanca: please watch the language
[15:25] <pakmanca> Who would be the pro here who could help me
[15:26] <pakmanca> My apologies.
[15:26] <gran> how do i change the name of my AP on ubuntu?
[15:26] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[15:26] <stefano> gran, AP = AccessPoint?
[15:27] <pakmanca> 3 am until now searching forums for answers to no avail.
[15:27] <gran> yes stefano
[15:27] <stefano> gran just as you would in any other os. open up a browser and type in the IP-Adress of  your accesspoint and then log in
[15:27] <BlackDiamonds> AP is managed by the router and not ubuntu
[15:27] <BlackDiamonds> do what stefano suggested
[15:27] <BlackDiamonds> log on to your router and change the settings
[15:28] <stefano> not onto the router, onto the AP
[15:28] <gran> get page not displayed, i'll just do it in windows :(
[15:28] <HaoleBoy31> Does anyone know any alternitive drivers that can be used for a wireless Linksys pci card?
[15:29] <HaoleBoy31> I have contacted linksys and they say they dont support it yet
[15:29] <pakmanca> VirtualBox had some errors before I uninstalled it, and since the sounds devices are no longer found
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> pakmanca: it appears to be a common problem with virtualbox drivers.. nothing to do with Ubuntu
[15:29] <stefano> HaoleBoy31, you can use the windows drivers with ndiswrapper
[15:29] <RayBritton> Hi, how can I find out if Ubuntu will work with my pc? (could just putting a cd in damage my pc?)
[15:29] <stefano> this works good for me
[15:29] <HaoleBoy31> I couldnt find it installed on the HD
[15:29] <LiMaO> RayBritton: try the livecd. it won't write a single byte to your hard drive.
[15:29] <HaoleBoy31> though I dont know much about installing anything via Linux
[15:29] <stefano> RayBritton, absolutely not, it doesnt touch your hard drive at all nor does it change anything else
[15:30] <RayBritton> ok thank you
[15:30] <HaoleBoy31> so I deleted it and got WinXP back which I hate with a passion
[15:30] <stefano> HaoleBoy31, installing software in ubuntu is easy as pie. just open up "synaptic", choose your programm and click apply. you'll get it :)
[15:30] <pakmanca> Maybe reinstaliing Vbox will do the trick.. This is a bit frustrating. This didnt happen under Fiesty.
[15:30] <HaoleBoy31> Unbuntu works fine with everything else though
[15:31] <HaoleBoy31> I feel so stupid with Linux
[15:31] <pakmanca> I also experienced some Video issues, but reinstalling the restrcited drivers fixed that issue.
[15:31] <HaoleBoy31> im sure its simple but I grew up in the computer world with microsfot
[15:31] <stefano> HaoleBoy31, use it for one month and you feel like a genioius
[15:32] <HaoleBoy31> I just requested a free CD
[15:32] <magnetron> HaoleBoy31: it takes time to learn a new OS
[15:32] <stepunk> hello
[15:32] <Crazymethjesus> Huge cunt in most orifices
[15:32] <Jack_Sparrow> HaoleBoy31: I dount you were much more comfortable when you first used XP
[15:32] <magnetron> stepunk: hai
[15:32] <stefano> HaoleBoy31, i had the same experience, and now i dont want to use anything else
[15:32] <HaoleBoy31> think my friend must have gotten a bad copy of it downloading who knows
[15:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Crazymethjesus: Stop or leave
[15:32] <HaoleBoy31> I am a programmer though so I feel very stupid
[15:32] <stefano> me too

[15:34] <stefano> originally i am from italy, but i live in germany. and by the way germany is horror deluxe
[15:34] <HaoleBoy31> its not that I dont want to enjoy it but also the main reason I have stuck with windows so long is more because of gaming
[15:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Amaranth: thanks
[15:34] <pakmanca> The largest problem I have found in Linux is when I use it home for fun... I use it at work as my DC and My desktop... but default installs work wonderful. This is the first driver or device issue I have experienced in nearly a year of using Linux.
[15:34] <HaoleBoy31> I bet it is
[15:34] <Jack_Sparrow> HaoleBoy31: I still dual boot for that
[15:34] <stefano> HaoleBoy31, i play some games on the side, i have set up a seven gigabyte windows partition for that.
[15:34] <Jack_Sparrow> HaoleBoy31: Plus I still get paid to support windows "Stuff"
[15:34] <HaoleBoy31> Ya I tried the WINE driver wasnt impressed
[15:34] <HaoleBoy31> took double the time to install games
[15:35] <HaoleBoy31> and then got serious errors loading
[15:35] <stefano> when it comes to games, wine isnt impressive a t all
[15:35] <HaoleBoy31> ya I learned that fast lol

[15:36] <Jack_Sparrow> stepunk: More importantly, have you setup refresh for you monitor
[15:36] <stepunk> umm no
[15:36] <stepunk> how can i do that?
[15:36] <Jack_Sparrow> stepunk: People always forget the second part
[15:36] <HaoleBoy31> I wish more companies would support linux based OSes so people like me could get out of Microfuck
[15:36] <Jack_Sparrow> stepunk: Check out your xorg.conf
[15:37] <stepunk> yes, i' have to add somethin near the resolution?

[15:37] <stefano> HaoleBoy31, microsoft itself supports linux very well
[15:37] <HaoleBoy31> how so?
[15:37] <Jack_Sparrow> stefano: No way
[15:37] <stefano> you can even run unix apps on windows vista
[15:37] <stefano> i heard...
[15:38] <HaoleBoy31> well my point to get out of windows
[15:38] <stepunk> but how I can know the refresh rate of my monitor?
[15:38] <stefano> i dont say it's good, it's not, it's horrible, but microsoft supports linux

[15:39] <RainCT> hi ankit. what do you mean?
[15:39] <stepunk> ok, and how i have to insert it, something like "1680x1050@60" ?

[15:42] <stepunk> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45788/ i think that i have to insert here, right?
[15:43] <bulmer> tabber-> look in your /etc/network/interfaces to set it
[15:43] <pakmanca> Thank you for attempting to help me
[15:43] <Jack_Sparrow> stepunk: looking now

[15:43] <bulmer> you're welcome
[15:43] <mzanfardino> bulmer: distance: <50ft (from living room to back bedroom where router is).  I have installed the longer antenne to improve range.  I have another lenovo running on windows in the same room with no loss of connectivity, but I'm not sure that is significant (different hardward).  This is running on 802.11b and the router is mixed mode.
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> stepunk: thats fine, but there is another section above that for your monitor settings, look for dpms "I think"
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> stepunk: around line 95
[15:45] <Sven_> hi Ihave a problem with my wireless here. whilst the device works in this configuration with most wireless-LANs it doesn't with WPA encrypted connections using TKIP and PSK
[15:45] <stepunk> i've pasted all my xorg :)
[15:45] <mzanfardino> bulmer: I'd like to test whether or not it's the internal nic by getting my pcmcia linksys wpc54g v2 up and running, but I can't seem to get it to respond.  The light is on when plugged in and I've installed ndiswrapper and the windows driver, but I can't find it on any list and don't know how to activate it.
[15:45] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> there is really no guarantee of sustained rate in wireless..anyhow what is mixed mode?
[15:45] <HaoleBoy31> was nice to meet you jack_sparrow
[15:45] <mzanfardino> bulmer: the router will operate on 802.11a/b/g
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> stepunk: Your entire xorg is 9 lines?
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> HaoleBoy31: nice to meet you as wel
[15:46] <HaoleBoy31> if I ever get back with my other hd on Ubuntu maybe we can figure out how to get the win drivers to work but ill wait on the Ubuntu cds to show up

[15:46] <HaoleBoy31> have a great week

[15:46] <Jack_Sparrow> ok
[15:46] <smacky_> you guy's happen to know where i can get a deb file for tovid ?
[15:46] <Jack_Sparrow> need a new link
[15:46] <mzanfardino> bulmer: the issue isn't sustained rate, it's sustained connectivity.  I can watch the connection cycle between connected and dropped over the course of any given time frame.  It's worse when I'm transfering files, but it happens all the time
[15:46] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> oh okay, typically you set it to one and then let it drop back to a stable mode, i dont know of any AP that goes back up to full throttle
[15:47] <Sven_> Is there a way to find out how to configure wpa_supplicant to be able to use WPA with PSK and TKIP?
[15:47] <Sven_> and all that with a belkin device?
[15:47] <bmt2> i think i upgraded to 7.10 successfully..but my resolution is different, and i can't get to 'screen resolution' to change it for some reason

[15:47] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> which brand of AP do you have?
[15:47] <mzanfardino> bulmer: if I'm not mistaken in this context it means that it will accept 802.11a, b and g connections from different devices... For instane, my wifes lappy maintains her g connection (54mb) whilst I'm at 11mb.
[15:47] <zekle> yop !

I will verify the speed issue, but I'm really more concerned with either 1) figuring out how to maintain a consistant connection and/or 2) figuring out how to test the nic against my pcmcia nic

[16:00] <Jack_Sparrow> sgtmattbaker: We type those to keep from repeating ourselves.  I have never used that tool you are using so I would not want to comment on it
[16:00] <onliner> kex: ok i can open that url
[16:01] <mzanfardino> bulmer: I'm not sure how to answer that.  I can say that I am currently online with the wireless nic which identifies itself as using the ipw2100.  If the firmware didn't load I'd guess (and it's just a guess) that that nic would not work.  I'm also guessing that the repeated messages are probably in sync with the loss of connectivity that I'm experiecing, though I can't prove it as I don't have a timestamp on the dmesg

[16:05] <onliner> yes
[16:05] <bulmer> NewUserr-> just a guess..have you tried vmware and load xp on that then run your sat tv on the guest os ?

[16:06] <NewUserr> bulmer ok thanks but doesnt it exist a similar program on linux
[16:06] <kex> onliner: sweden
[16:06] <bulmer> SatManUK-> when you fdisk -l  it should tell you what partitions are windows like
[16:06] <Jack_Sparrow> SatManUK: try terminal and fdisk -l  to list partitions
[16:07] <bulmer> NewUserr-> umm maybe there is like tivo, but its all customized?
[16:07] <NewUserr> Happosade : u think it works on wine?

[16:08] <c0reyf> anybody help with samba problem on Gusty
[16:08] <snausage> hey just wondering if anyone know if a palm treo will turn on with a power cable attached if the battery is dead? sry for asking here but i figure someone might know..
[16:08] <SatManUK> two lines for paste bin..
[16:08] <Ashfire908> eh you made it 3
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Happosade: some people have no problem, others have a nightmare.  I personally have never tried it
[16:08] <bullgard4> What is the function of the kjournal?
[16:09] <Happosade> Jack_Sparrow: Ok. So I have to go to google
[16:09] <SatManUK> well sorry i am trying to make a quick fix - im not posting an essay anyway.. windows - ntfs - is sda 5 so how do i configure that in to grub?
[16:09] <onliner> kex: i dont know solve your problem, this is the reason i offer you some topic
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Happosade: SOmetimes people here can help, but not many use it
[16:09] <kex> onliner: but i dont have another problem
[16:09] <NewUserr> Happosade : but Wine isnt safe right?
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> SatManUK: super grub repair cd
[16:10] <onliner> kex: ok thanks, i am sorry i can't help you
[16:10] <mzanfardino> bulmer: sorry, system crash.  did you respond to my last message about the firmware?
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> NewUserr: wine is safe,
[16:10] <kex> onliner: ok bye ^
[16:10] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> but somehow it recovered and loaded it via ndiswrapper? i dont know..
[16:11] <Happosade> NewUserr: ??? It's just like Windows, just on Linux :)
[16:11] <NewUserr> Jack_Sparrow: What about viruses on Wine?
[16:11] <SatManUK> ok i have the grub editor in terminal - now what?
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> NewUserr: they can not effect the linux part of your os.
[16:11] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> thats the experience am getting, anything network i/o get stucked, my system halts so i have to reboot
[16:11] <mzanfardino> bulmer: sorry, just got that last message,but I suspect you wrote something before it.  However, to provide backgroud, I only recently loaded ndiswrapper to support the pcmcia linksys nic.  I've since unloaded it.
[16:11] <NewUserr> Jack_Sparrow: Ok thanks
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> NewUserr: At worst you would apt-get wine and reload it
[16:12] <kitche> Jack_Sparrow: well they can but they have to be a very badly written virus or written specifically for wine :)
[16:12] <bmt2> how do i do a search using apt-get ?
[16:12] <bmt2> trying to install flash player....
[16:12] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> i believe the intel error starts here  nsc_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8 <-- i thought this could have caused the original error
[16:12] <Happosade> NewUserr: Just open only files, what is your installations
[16:12] <bmt2> i want to basically install everything and anything i need thru apt-get
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> kitche: I would imagine there might be a way, but have never seen one
[16:12] <sergio_> alguien me puede ayudar acerca de unos plugins de firefox?
[16:12] <mzanfardino> bulmer: ok, so like right now that I've rebooted I have no issue with my connectino and my dmesg does not reflect any firmware issues with ipw2100
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !es
[16:12] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda.
[16:12] <mzanfardino> bulmer: ok, that's a start
[16:13] <NewUserr> Happosade : trying out now
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash
[16:13] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[16:13] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> yeah, sometimes the system recovers..a reboot is all it takes :)
[16:13] <kitche> Jack_Sparrow: well you haven't played around to much with wine then :)
[16:13] <mzanfardino> bulmer: now, i bet if I start an scp file transfer between my server and this machine I will see the connection cycle as before and I bet I will see the firmware issues in the dmesg output
[16:13] <stuart-> hm, how do i browse .hidden files?
[16:13] <NewUserr> kitche:why?
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> kitche: I have no use for it, but I am in here most of the time and have not seen others with virii that did anything to linux
[16:14] <sui_> ls -a
[16:14] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> before you download, just for kicks  check if ipw2100 related modules are loaded or not..  via  lsmod|grep ipw2100
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> stuart-: there is a pulldown menu option to show hidden
[16:14] <stuart-> Jack_Sparrow, cool, thanks.
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[16:14] <bmt2> could i do : sudo apt-get install flash 9 ?
[16:14] <kitche> Jack_Sparrow: or they don't notice it
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> bmt2: did you read the link above
[16:15] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> then also do a tail -f /var/log/messages  before downloading and you can spot the event while it records it
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> kitche: let me know when you can document that issue
[16:15] <bmt2> Jack_Sparrow: i saw the link , tried to click on it and got nothing
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> bmt2: try again it works
[16:16] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Good morning comrade leenoocks users ;)
[16:16] <NewUserr> kitche:there was a guy who tried out different virus on Wine but they didnt harm Linux
[16:16] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Are there any gamers in?
[16:17] <RPG_> Every time I boot up Ubuntu, it defaults to "Low Graphics Mode", despite the fact I've installed the NVIDIA driver multiple times, and ran nvidia-xconfig also.
[16:17] <MolePrince> Does Ubuntu have support for vesa framebuffers?
[16:17] <RPG_> It started happening after I installed a custom kernel
[16:17] <sergio_> me podriais decir como meterme en el canal ubuntu españa
[16:17] <RPG_> but since then, i've moved back to the vanilla kernel
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> RPG_: have you setup your monitor refresh info and not just the video card
[16:18] <erUSUL> RPG_: restricted-modules want work with a custom kernel
[16:18] <mzanfardino> bulmer: as I suspected, as soon as I started the file transfer, in this case with scp, my connectivity started to cycle from connected to disconnected and back and sure enough I got messages in dmesg output reflecting the firmware error.  I will attach the last 30+ list of message so you can see.
[16:18] <erUSUL> won't*
[16:18] <kitche> NewUserr: you mean http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=72598&page=4?
[16:18] <RPG_> erUSUL, so, I cannot expect to have NVIDIA support if I compile my own kernel?
[16:18] <erUSUL> RPG_: you need to custom compile the driver against the custom kernel
[16:18] <kex> can anybody please help me with my alsa sound card? :( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45790/
[16:18] <D4rkB34n> hi there, any one can help me w/ubunut 7.10
[16:18] <erUSUL> RPG_: right
[16:18] <kitche> NewUserr: and it sorta did since it copied all over the place the guy didn't have Z drive mapped so it didn't bust out of wine home
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL: good morning...   Time for me to go, play nice everyone
[16:19] <erUSUL> RPG_: if you use your own kernel you have to compile your own drivers as well
[16:19] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: good morning ;)
[16:19] <mzanfardino> bulmer: http://rafb.net/p/ZjKjNZ63.html  this is timed with when I started the file transfer (tail of /var/log/message)
[16:19] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Are there any gamers in?
[16:19] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> how about the beginning part, thats more interesting when the firmware gets reloaded rather than the tail end
[16:20] <erUSUL> Monkee_Of_Evil: just a fast ET:quake wars demo from time to time...
[16:20] <RPG_> erUSUL, since then, i've uninstalled the kernel and quit using it because it didn't fix the hardware problem I had, and now i'm back to Ubuntu kernels, and the problem persists
[16:20] <mzanfardino> bulmer: take a look at what I've pasted and you tell me if you need more.  I tried going back before any firmware messages appeared
[16:20] <Sharpie> the my-ip daemon opens on startup. how can i stop it from doing so?
[16:20] <D4rkB34n> hi there, any one can help me w/ubunut 7.10
[16:20] <Sharpie> no-ip*
[16:20] <MolePrince> Sharpie: apt-get rcconf
[16:20] <erUSUL> RPG_: then i do not know what may be happening...

[16:20] <RPG_> :(
[16:20] <Monkee_Of_Evil> erUSUL: Ah, I'm looking for community contributed screen shots for the ubuntu houston team Linux Gaming page
[16:21] <Monkee_Of_Evil> And was wondering if anyone in here has any they would be willing to share with us
[16:21] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> yeah some messages before what you pasted,  btw what is the name of your nic? eth0 or eth1 or wlan0 ?
[16:21] <mzanfardino> bulmer: eth1
[16:22] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> and you also have eth0?

[16:23] <erUSUL> Monkee_Of_Evil: i do not have any screenshots :(
[16:23] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Ah
[16:23] <bulmer> Sharpie-> you can look around /etc/init.d   for my-ip daemon and  stop that, and then look for /etc/rcN.d where those links are that calls that daemon and remove them via update-rc.d
[16:23] <FalandA> how can i copy any file to /usr/share directory ?

[16:28] <MolePrince> actionsugar: Find the InputDevice section regarding your mouse. Make sure your protocol is "ImPS/2" and that ZAxisMapping is "4 5"
[16:28] <linxeh> jimmacdonald: and did you start all of the nfs services? I take it that the mount failed?
[16:28] <MolePrince> 10 seconds on google found that.
[16:29] <erUSUL> Ashfire908: maybe it is better to use a grub flppy disk? (if the machine still has floppy ;))
[16:29] <jimmacdonald> linxeh: not sure if the processes are started. The mount did fail.
[16:29] <jimmacdonald> linxeh: where would I start them?
[16:29] <Ashfire908> erUSUL, nope no floppy (#%^#% WHY DO THEY NO LONGER PUT FLOPPY DRIVES IN???)
[16:29] <Ashfire908> lol
[16:30] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> if you look at around 34.792000  eth0 and eth1 not ready but yet you are able to use eth1 as your wifi nic?

[16:30] <erUSUL> Ashfire908: or boot with the livecd (it has an option called boot from hard drive)

[16:31] <sproingie> use: that usually means it failed to download the packages list
[16:31] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[16:31] <cool> i am trying to get a Splash Image with update-grub, but i am missing something, i get a error "Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping .........."
[16:31] <Ashfire908> erUSUL, which is pointless because it does the same thing as not haveing the cd in the drive in the first place
[16:31] <kitche> use: seems like Packages.gz does not exist but if your trying to upgrade to gutsy then why not use a gutsy repo instead of a feisty one?
[16:31] <jimmacdonald> linxeh: please see the pvt window
[16:31] <mzanfardino> bulmer: that might be a result of 1) eth0 not being connected (that's the wired nic) and 2) eth1 being turned off by default (I haven't set it to autostart yet).
[16:31] <Ashfire908> MolePrince, huh?
[16:31] <D4rkB34n> i can't open ppt files (microsoft power point) on Impress 2.3.0 it hangs. Any one can help me?
[16:31] <ghostknife> erUSUL: but I have javac command, which is a java compiler. Doesn't that mean I have jdk installed
[16:31] <sproingie> use: sometimes you can just try again.  see if you have network, try to wget that url
[16:31] <MolePrince> Ashfire908: Google for it.
[16:32] <Monkee_Of_Evil> use: I had problems upgrading from Fiesty to Gutsy
[16:32] <MolePrince> supergrub is a set of boot menus for Grub that add many options
[16:32] <Monkee_Of_Evil> I ended up having to replace my sources.list with the default one
[16:32] <Monkee_Of_Evil> so if you've used automatix
[16:32] <Ashfire908> MolePrince, i don't need fancy options...
[16:32] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> i should have asked first, what interfaces you have and connected to which network? also what kind of pnp or usb plugged devices you have in?
[16:32] <regeya> okay!  when one is using emerald with compiz-fusion, or at least some of us, unresponsive windows (like k9copy running a job) get "ghosted" and nothing will unghost it.  when the system is under a load, whatever window that is in focus is ghosted out for a random period of time.  after searching the forums I have learned that there IS an option somewhere, but the person who posted that they found it also failed to share what it
[16:32] <Monkee_Of_Evil> then you should try replacing your sources.list with the sample provided @ ubuntuforums.org
[16:33] <ghostknife> this sucks
[16:33] <regeya> cripes!
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Monkee_Of_Evil: if he has used automatix...  he has more problems than just his source list

[16:36] <use> Monkee_Of_Evil; thanx:)
[16:36] <Ashfire908> MolePrince, linxeh, erUSUL, lost anything i didn't respond to. the join part flood knocked it out of the buffer
[16:36] <Flare183> regaya:> it's a compiz-fusion bug
[16:36] <cool> i am trying to get a Splash Image with update-grub, but i am missing something, i get a error "Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping .........."
[16:36] <regeya> ah.  a bug.
[16:36] <mzanfardino> bulmer: you recover from the flood?
[16:36] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> am still here
[16:36] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Jack_Sparrow: I'm cururious to know why so many people have a problem with AutoMatix
[16:36] <regeya> damn.  and I'm rather hooked on various eyecandy as well as avant.
[16:36]  * regeya grumbles and kills compiz dead
[16:37] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> i should have asked first, what interfaces you have and connected to which network? also what kind of pnp or usb plugged devices you have in?
[16:37] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Jack_Sparrow: I think overall it does a good job of simplifying the install of a lot of packages
[16:37] <ToddEDM> i need help getting my WI-FI to work on this desktop, would someone be kind and help me?
[16:37] <Flare183> regaya:> there is not shortcut to up the saturation
[16:37] <sproingie> Monkee_Of_Evil: it's technical and political.  technically, it screws with core system files without using the package system, so it hoses future upgrades
[16:37] <ghostknife> Can anyone give me a reason why apt doesn't try to resume failed downloads?
[16:37] <sproingie> Monkee_Of_Evil: politically, it's because the admins of that project carry on like 13 year old tyrants when people come to them with problems
[16:38] <Monkee_Of_Evil> sproingie: Hmm.. Well Justin is still a teenager
[16:38] <sproingie> Monkee_Of_Evil: it's still no excuse
[16:38] <cool> Monkee_Of_Evil, auto mix is known to break installs
[16:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Monkee_Of_Evil: It is EVIL.. what it does can not get undone easilly or reliably.  see the link for full info on how bad it is..

[16:39] <chazco> hi... when i use Nautilius to connect to an FTP server I get a different directory than if i use Firefox... Any ideas? It has a login
[16:39] <cool> LjL-Temp, , whats FloodBot for ?
[16:39] <Sharpie> is there any way to remove the "rotate image" option from the nautilus-image-converter plugin?
[16:39] <sproingie> automatix is totally written off, i'm not sure about EasyUbuntu
[16:39] <ToddEDM> hey guys, i see someon is on my network, is there a way i can send a message to them????? yes i have no wep or wpa
[16:39] <levander> Does the Add/Remove Programs application just give you like an english version of package names, and not the version of the package name that you would use on the command line with apt-get?
[16:39] <LjL> cool: nothing particularly interesting.
[16:40]  * Monkee_Of_Evil reads link from ubot
[16:40] <sproingie> i don't think easyubuntu is officially recommended either because it uses medibuntu which isn't entirely legal everywhere
[16:40] <regeya> wheee
[16:40] <stoneman> hi there, is there any tutorials on the ubuntu forums for a beginners to using the terminal to tar(compress) and untar files?
[16:40] <Kevin`> ToddEDM if it's windows you could try sending a netsend message to them
[16:40] <sproingie> but it otherwise does use the packager i believe
[16:40] <cool> LjL, still
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> sproingie: easyub  was simplified and does not do the horrible things other scripts do.. but really, it still is not needed
[16:40] <regeya> sproingie: for that reason it shouldn't be :->
[16:40] <ToddEDM> kevin, how do i do that >?? its prolly a windows user
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> stoneman: > !backup
[16:41] <jesper> hello, i have a slight problem with ubuntu if someone has time...
[16:41] <levander> stoneman: 'tar xf <filename>' extracts from a tar file - x is for extract
[16:41] <bulmer> ToddEDM-> is it your AP? you can frustrate them by having the signal go in and out...till they decide not to use your free service anymore
[16:41] <phanto1> I'm having problems with opengl flickering and not displaying fonts correctly.  anyone know how to fix this?
[16:41] <Kevin`> ToddEDM i'm trying to find the program again, I can't remember the name
[16:41] <cool> i am trying to get a Splash Image with update-grub, but i am missing something, i get a error "Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping .........."  . and anyone please take the pain to help :)
[16:41] <regeya> I don't know.  As long as a tool that installs restricted codecs warns the user first as to WHY it's restricted, I think that should be fine (though ianal)
[16:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !usplash

[16:42] <bulmer> ToddEDM-> you know well that if a use gets on internet and can download stuff or fails because of poor connectivity, they move somewhere else :)
[16:42] <cool> kitche, Jack_Sparrow  done that i installed grub-splashimages :)
[16:42] <Kevin`> ToddEDM smbclient -M can do it
[16:42] <bullgard4> gregarei: My /etc/fstab shows two ext3 partitions. This corresponds to two kjournald processes. But why shows dmesg 5 lines: "kjournal starting. Commit interval..."?
[16:42] <levander> stoneman: 'tar xzf <filename>' extracts from a tarr'd and gzipped file. tar has no compression - it just puts all files in one big tarball.  You gzip the tarball to compress it (make it smaller).
[16:43] <MolePrince> Is there a more efficient method of stopping/restarting services than sudo /etc/init.d/foo bar ?
[16:43] <bullgard4> My /etc/fstab shows two ext3 partitions. This corresponds to two kjournald processes. But why shows dmesg 5 lines: "kjournal starting. Commit interval..."?
[16:43] <levander> stoneman: and, 'tar czf <filename> <files...>' creates the tar file, and compresses it
[16:43] <stoneman> levander ah excellent! hey there should be a stick in the forums for this!
[16:43] <kitche> cool: you still need to tell grub about the splash images
[16:43] <Tm_T> MolePrince: invoke-rc.d foo bar ?
[16:43] <ToddEDM> bulmer: i could just block thier MAC adress but i want to send them some messages first
[16:43] <Tm_T> MolePrince: with sudo perhaps
[16:43] <levander> stoneman: you can't have a stick for everything
[16:43] <MolePrince> Tm_T: Awesome, thanks.
[16:43] <stoneman> levander true
[16:43] <Kevin`> ToddEDM at least, I think that's the same..
[16:43] <warlock_handler> hi guys.. how do i chk my HDD partitions.. from the command line??
[16:43] <Jack_Sparrow> fdisk -l
[16:43] <bulmer> ToddEDM-> have fun with them, frustrate them a little, hehehe
[16:43] <MolePrince> warlock_handler: fdisk -l
[16:44] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
 thnx dude
[16:44] <levander> stoneman: you may benefit from a basic UNIX command line (probably bash shell) tutorial.  I'm sure there are plenty on the internet.  That's where you'd find stuff like tar.

[16:44] <druggist> i'm new to networking, when i put in a wep key, do i do the colons too?

[16:45] <druggist> 78:68:30:73:44
[16:45] <druggist> does that look right
[16:45] <Pici> otman: You wait for Ubuntu to release their own package.
[16:45] <bullgard4> otman: You cannot. There is no 'gusty gabon'.
[16:46] <levander> Does the Add/Remove application not give you the form of the package name that you would use on the command line, with apt-get?
[16:46] <bulmer> damg_-> but that would be difficult to maintain a route table unless you are running gated or whatever dynamic routing daemon
[16:46] <mzanfardino> bulmer:  your last questions where:  i should have asked first, what interfaces you have and connected to which network? also what kind of pnp or usb plugged devices you have in?  I'm not sure how to answer the first one as I'm not quite sure what you mean (sorry).  As to pnp or usb devices, it's a lappy, so the only devices I have plugged in atm is my usb mouse and no pnp devices at all
[16:47] <cool> i am trying to get a Splash Image with update-grub, but i am missing something, i get a error "Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping .........."  . and anyone please take the pain to help :)
[16:47] <mzanfardino> bulmer: if by interfaces you mean eth0, eth1, etc, that's it. eth0 is wired nic (not connected0 and eth1 is wireless nic (ipw2100).  oh, and standard lo
[16:47] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> you are only using a wifi to connect right? and not also wired at same time?
[16:47] <bmt2> how can i tell if my upgrade was successful ?

[16:54] <mrh_> tad:
[16:54] <levander> stoneman: bzip compresses more than gzip, but not much more.  bzip just isn't as commonly used, and so you can't share the file with other people as easily.  But, for bzip, just use a j instead of a z in tar's command line options.

[16:58] <mzanfardino> bulmer: rtc and snd-page-alloc
[16:58] <mrh_> Jack_Sparrow: were you answering my question?
[16:58] <stefg> flamesrock: the only thing you need to know is that you shouldn't do it. Linux works your hardware more efficiently than win, so you might destabilize your system
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> mrh_: yes
[16:58] <flamesrock> ahh k tx
[16:58] <juano__> t4m1n0: dont forget in the repos part to change edgy for fiesty or gutsy

[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> np

[16:59] <ghostknife> When I try to install the java documentation it wants me to download the docs + the japanese docs, how can I get it to not want the japanese docs. I am not going to use it, and it's an additional 57MB ?
[16:59] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> no ipw2100 stuff in /proc/driver/   ?
[16:59] <Jack_Sparrow> mrh_: after that startx to test or reconfig again.
[16:59] <t4m1n0> juano__,  do I really need to install this with souraces ? since I allready have wine on gutsy
[16:59] <mrh_> Jack_Sparrow: startx?
[16:59] <mzanfardino> bulmer: nope, just those two
[16:59] <juano__> t4m1n0: if you have wine, just be sure that you have cabextract installed
[16:59] <Jack_Sparrow> mrh_: agfter you reconfigure from cli
[16:59] <t4m1n0> juano__, ok
[17:00] <Jessid> Hello. What can i do to make usb ports work in ubuntu 7.10? They used to work in 7.04. Thanks

[17:00] <mrh_> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[17:00] <mrh_> Jack_Sparrow: will try that now - thanks
[17:00] <kitche> Jessid: they should work in gutsy also unless you blew the fuse to the ports
[17:00] <Jack_Sparrow> mrh_: try to include your monitor refresh rates...
[17:00] <mrh_> Jack_Sparrow: ?
[17:00] <juano__> t4m1n0: yea i think just sudo apt-get install cabextract
[17:00] <juano__> t4m1n0: then wget
[17:00] <ArthurArchnix> I can't rip a cd into mp3 format. Trying to use both soundjuicer or rythymbox opens up the same "gnome audio properties" dialog box, where I cannot select mp3 as an output.

[17:00] <Jack_Sparrow> mrh_: vesa mode to get back if you have troubel
[17:01] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> thats odd, thats where the kernel tells you that the driver for your wifi is loaded
[17:01] <mrh_> Jack_Sparrow: ok

[17:01] <Googa> =/
[17:01] <ArthurArchnix> Jack_Sparrow:  I did an apt-cache search for lame and installed all the non dev/doc stuff.
[17:02] <kitche> Jessid: then it's a hardware issue not really a Ubuntu issue
[17:02] <juano__> t4m1n0: works here for me
[17:02] <mzanfardino> bulmer: hmm... well, it's a pretty standard install.  I used the Kubuntu Alternate CD in order to install lvm and encrypt my drive, but beyond that I haven't done anything special (at least not insofar as the wifi is concerned)
[17:02] <bulmer> anyone else running a wireless connectivity, can you kindly verify  /proc/driver  is where your wifi driver settings are located?

[17:04] <ArthurArchnix> Jack_Sparrow: I found the solution. You need to uncheck "make active" in the profile and restart soundjuicer. Then you nee to make it active and restart again. Then it's available for selection. Crazy.

[17:34] <Duxter> i dont see it can i do sth with apt-get or synaptic?
[17:34] <chrisg> hm
[17:34] <chrisg> does anyone else think it's a bit odd to specifically allow root login in the ubuntu openssh-server dist config
[17:35] <whereswaldo> hey, none of my windows have borders so I cant move them or anything, what´s going on?
[17:35] <chrisg> afaik it's normally something that's disabled, for good reason
[17:35] <bazhang> Duxter: open up synaptic and search for greek, and check the ones you want installed
[17:35] <robertj> chrisg: its fine
[17:35] <levander> whereswaldo: did you remove the borders somehow?
[17:35] <robertj> chrisg: if someone enables root then they probably would like to use it
[17:35] <Duxter> ok
[17:35] <bazhang> Duxter: they will likely be related to openoffice, though you could also turn your own system into a greek system afaik
[17:35] <Duxter> thank u
[17:35] <mediahunter> flare it has been a while since i have installed from a tar file
[17:35] <bazhang> no problem
[17:35] <mediahunter> what are the cmd again
[17:36] <chrisg> surley logging in as a normal user and using sudo is much better ...
[17:36] <`RiffRaff> does anyone know if the issues around nVidia drivers and Gutsy have been resolved?
[17:36] <chrisg> it's generally accepted as bad practice to PermitRootLogin
[17:36] <noober> mattis: I dont know I was booting from a cd.... is there a vga or someother mode?
[17:36] <Flare183> mediahunter:> to extract a tar file?
[17:36] <bulmer> mediahunter-> you tar -xvzf tarfile.gz
[17:36] <Duxter> how can i do that?
[17:36] <Flare183> exactly
[17:36] <stefg> chrisg: by default there is no root account in ubuntu, so any login attempts (over ssh or on the console) will fail anyway
[17:36] <mediahunter> ok
[17:36] <bulmer> mediahunter-> then you read the README file
[17:36] <mediahunter> thanks
[17:36] <levander> `RiffRaff: there will always be issues with the nvidia driver and any Linux. Is there a specific issue you have with it?
[17:36] <chrisg> you mean there's no password?
[17:36] <chrisg> the root user always exists
[17:36] <`RiffRaff> freezing
[17:37] <chrisg> or the password is locked
[17:37] <chrisg> rather
[17:37] <levander> `RiffRaff: nvidia doesn't put enough effort into that driver for it to ever be bug-free
[17:37] <`RiffRaff> have tried all the "fixes" and nothing works
[17:37] <stefg> chrisg: ok, technically there's no password, so login is disabled
[17:37] <vasuvi_> noober: yeah, one of the commands lets you force X to use VESA instead of the default nv/ati drivers
[17:37] <chrisg> :), i just think it's a bit odd to allow root user logins via sshd
[17:37] <`RiffRaff> so its either get a new card or go back to fiesty
[17:37] <chrisg> granted openssh-server isn't installed as standard
[17:38] <whereswaldo> levander: I dont think so, at least not to my knowledge
[17:38] <chrisg> or it wasn't in the -alternative disti installed from. but it still seems non standard to permitroot :)
[17:38] <bazhang> Duxter: when you want to get someone's attention--best to use their nickname in your reply :}
[17:38] <stefg> chrisg: THINK....  no root password, no login....
[17:38] <bruenig> !prefix
[17:38] <ubotu> If you prefix your lines with the nickname of the person you're talking to, you have a greater chance that that person reads your messages
[17:38] <noober> vasuvi_: how do I do that?
[17:38] <levander> whereswaldo: did you change your theme recently?  you're not using TV out are you, it's just a regular monitor right?
[17:38] <bulmer> who is running ldap and using it as a single sign-on authentication for a centrally manage network of computers? how do you tell linux now you will be using ldap instead of passwd or shadow?
[17:38] <chrisg> but some of us change the password and unlock the root user
[17:38] <bazhang> thanks bruenig :}
[17:39] <levander> chrisg: why do you unlock the root user?
[17:39] <Duxter> bazhang ok ;) how can i do that u suggested?
[17:39] <stefg> chrisg: being smart/dumb enough to that means taking responsibility for a root sshd tehn
[17:39] <chrisg> i don't know, habit logging into consoles as root, and ssh as unpriv'd users
[17:39] <bruenig> levander, the root user is needed for some applications
[17:39] <whereswaldo> levander: no I didnt, and no it´s not TV out. I just changed some config stuff because I couldnt change my res, so now that´s fixed
[17:40] <chrisg> bruenig: yeah but technically i could ``sudo su -`` as the user i created at install
[17:40] <levander> whereswaldo: what config stuff?
[17:40] <bazhang> Duxter: open up the synaptic package manager and then in the search field type greek
[17:40] <bruenig> chrisg, not for slim
[17:40] <bruenig> chrisg, I mean you may not technically need it for your setup, but it still is needed for some things
[17:40] <chrisg> slim =?
[17:40] <vasuvi_> noober: I don't remember offhand; when you are on the boot screen, hit F2, F3, F4, etc...; that will give you the list of options
[17:40] <bruenig> chrisg, Simple Log In Manager
[17:40] <levander> whereswaldo: have you tried restarting X since your window borders went away?
[17:40] <`RiffRaff> ok then does anyone have the link to hardware compatibility?
[17:41] <bulmer> bruenig-> does single user mode require root password? i forgot
[17:41] <levander> bulmer: no
[17:41] <vasuvi_> noober: (I *think* it's something like xmodule=vesa, or there might be an option called "safe graphics mode" or something like that)
[17:41] <Duxter> bazhang: thank you very much
[17:41] <bulmer> okay
[17:41] <bruenig> bulmer, single user mode just puts you in a root console from init
[17:41] <noober> vasuvi_: thnax ill try that...
[17:41] <bazhang> Duxter: you all set now?
[17:41] <whereswaldo> levander: I´ll try that right now, and I reconfigured X
[17:41] <chrisg> yeah linux S doesn't ask for a password, i think it's stuff like solaris that does that
[17:41] <vasuvi_> noober: good luck!
[17:41] <Duxter> bazhang:  ill go try and post back
[17:42] <levander> whereswaldo: you may have just messed up your video mode configuring it while it was running, restarting may "reset" the video mode.  If that doesn't work, reconfigure X again.

[17:43] <Jessid> hello. does anybody could help me to make the usb ports of my laptop work under ubuntu 7.10? they used to work in ubuntu 7.04....and i have not changed any hardware configuration...the usb ports only work if i have connected the devices from the begini, when i turn on the laptop...thanks
[17:43] <stefg> mike22: your /etc/fstab seems broken, the path /home/mike seems not to be there
[17:44] <levander> mike22: copy your old /home/mike to the new /home
[17:44] <levander> mike22: then, relogin
[17:44]  * SatManUK i would like to apologise if i appeared annoyed earlier the problem was not grub it was windows..
[17:44] <bulmer> Jessid-> it does not work when you plugged in usb devices after the reboot?
[17:44] <stefg> as usual
[17:46] <Jessid> bulmer devices work only if i have them plugged in at me boot time, after that i can not connect any thing in the usb ports because they dont work, for example a usb mouse or a usb external hd
[17:46] <bulmer> Jessid-> did you wait long enuff, sometimes usb devices takes a while to wake up.
[17:46] <Jessid> bulmer and it does not have a lot of sense to restart the computer every time i want to usb a usb memory...

[17:47] <MolePrince> IanLiu: try locate or find ./\
[17:47] <MolePrince> -\
[17:47] <bulmer> Jessid-> after a system rebooted, did you monitor /var/log/messages once you plug in a usb devices, does it show detection?
[17:48] <stefg> Jessid: does 'sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart'  make the devices appear (when you plug them in after boot) ?
[17:48] <dfcarney> IanLiu: find . -name "foo"
[17:48] <IanLiu> ty, I will try
[17:48] <dfcarney> IanLiu: type "man find" for the manual

[17:49] <bulmer> sol and there is the iproute2 tool  called ip
[17:49] <whereswaldo> levander: restarting X didnt work but enabling then disabling my graphics drivers did just so ya know

[17:49] <d4ef6s> yes , klipper is for kubuntu but it work well in ubuntu ,im using ubuntu right now and  try gkliper first but  the same problem i can save the clipborbar history

[17:50] <rsk> :>
[17:50] <Jessid> bulmer nothing is shown when i plug or unplug the device
[17:51] <stefg> Jessid: boot normally, then plug your devices in, run 'sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart'  in a terminal and check if your devices are there then
[17:51] <rsk> ghost_: on the internet
[17:51] <mike22> levander, i have a partition. that contains one parent directory called 'mike'.. and i always mount that partition to /home during install.. so im not sure what im supposed to do now.
[17:51] <Jessid> stefg ah ok...yes they are shown when i do that
[17:51] <sol> bulmer, sorry my english=)
[17:51] <bulmer> Jessid-> also rerun dmesg after you plugged in the device..if it detected it, it is added at the end
[17:51] <stefg> Jessid: so we know that hal is to blame ....
[17:51] <mike22> levander, maybe the problem is that partition isnt getting mounted for some reason? i dunno
[17:53] <stefg> Jessid: what does 'uname -r' turn up ?
[17:53] <Jessid> stefg:  2.6.22-14-generic
[17:54] <Jessid> bulmer man i dont know what you are talking about
[17:54] <sol> hehe, my internet goes through router, becouse  i can not see it real ip through ifconfig=)

[17:56] <mediahunter> anyone know how to setup a new vmachine in vmware player
[17:56] <dfcarney> IanLiu: you want to delete a list of files?
[17:56] <IanLiu> yeap
[17:56] <IanLiu> oh
[17:56] <ThugLife> hi RootMe
[17:56] <IanLiu> I can do it directly
[17:56] <Jessid> bulmer i have found some lines with usb word...do you want me to send you any? i mean, do you have to see what the result is?
[17:56] <dfcarney> IanLiu: something like: find . -name "foo" | xargs rm
[17:56] <stefg> mediahunter: http://www.easyvmx.com/index.shtml
[17:57] <dfcarney> IanLiu: be careful with that command
[17:57] <Dziustino> Hello, I got intel core 2 duo 7400 processor, it's better for me to  install 32bit or 64bit ubuntu?

[17:57] <bulmer> Jessid-> no you dont need to send me, am just saying if it is detected, it should show up via the command dmesg
[17:57] <stefg> Dziustino: stick with 32bit
[17:57] <IanLiu> yeah, I will
[17:57] <Dziustino> reasons?
[17:57] <dfcarney> IanLiu: "xargs" takes the output of one command and uses it as arguments past the pipe

[17:58] <Cyberai> I'm having an interesting problem. I have a SanDisk m230 mp3 player. I used to be able to mount it with "mount /dev/sda1 /media/<mount point>". This just stopped working today. I haven't made any system updates. fdisk accurately shows the device on /dev/sda1. But mount says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock" etc.
[17:58] <stefg> Dziustino: convinience.... flash, codecs, wine ... some stuff isn't available for 64bit, and the speed gain on an average desktop by using 64 bit is marginal
[17:58] <MolePrince> IanLiu: Try sommat like rm $(find . -name "foo")
[17:58] <Cyberai> Can anyone help?
[17:58] <IanLiu> I can do 'rm -r *.jpg', cant I?
[17:59] <MolePrince> IanLiu: Absolutely
[17:59] <Dziustino> ok, thank you
[17:59] <krim> Dziustino: Read the 64-bit section in the Ubuntu forums and see if the problems apply to you. I'm using Ubuntu 64 bit with no problems but then I don't use the software that can be problematic with it, might be different for you.
[17:59] <IanLiu> hmm, thats simpler =)
[17:59] <dfcarney> IanLiu: yup.  the nice thing about xargs is that it lets you pipe things together
[17:59] <bulmer> Cyberai->can you play the mp3 still without it being plugged in toyour puter?
[18:00] <Cyberai> bulmer, can't tell, no music on it
[18:00] <bulmer> Cyberai-> possibly it gone bad?
[18:00] <Jock2> In Evolution, how can I mark all messages as read without right-clicking every top folder?
[18:00] <Cyberai> bulmer, possible
[18:01] <bulmer> Cyberai-> i have purchased one of those china cheap ones, lasted for about a month..
[18:01] <IanLiu> dfcarney: true. I never understood very well these arguments concats.. Sometimes I only see COMMAND `another command', sometimes with pipe, and so on
[18:01] <Cyberai> bulmer, had this one about 2 years, worked great til noqw
[18:01] <Cyberai> bulmer, had this one about 2 years, worked great til now
[18:01] <flow> hello

[18:02] <flow> it used to work, but I seem to have changed a setting
[18:02] <bulmer> Cyberai-> dont forget, flash memory like the ones used on usb drives dont last forever...
[18:02] <flow> and can't find what I need to revert back to
[18:02] <dfcarney> IanLiu: hehe, well if you're going to get into command-line stuff i *highly* recommend that you read up on the pipe operator.  *nix is based around it
[18:02] <Cyberai> bulmer, true dat
[18:02] <mediahunter> i have qemu how do i creat a vmx in it to play back in vmware player

[18:03] <wimdows> hi all, any command line util that will list all my HDD devices?
[18:03] <mynyml> it seems that anything i play in mplayer has its audio desynchronized .. is there a way to reset it?
[18:03] <bulmer> Cyberai-> how to recover? i have not done it on my mp3 player yet..but i assume gparted will recognize it then you can format it, but to get back the mp3 playing capabilities...ummm that would be tuff

[18:03] <ymorin> hi, what means erro$ in /etc/fstab, I don't seem to find it inside standard man page of fstab...
[18:03] <wimdows> thanks!
[18:03] <Tomcat_> mynyml: move the ~/.mplayer dir somewhere else.
[18:04] <warlock_handler> guys if i get a I/O Buffer error in my /dev/hda3 what does that mean
[18:04] <warlock_handler> and can i fix this??
[18:04] <stefg> warlock_handler: a problem !
 what problem??
[18:04] <stefg> warlock_handler: how old is that drive ?
[18:04] <bulmer> warlock_handler-> does it happen often enuff or only once in a while?
[18:05] <mynyml> Tomcat_: ?
 one in a while
[18:05] <Tomcat_> mynyml: If you move the ~/.mplayer directory, all mplayer settings get reset.
 about 4 to 5 yrs old
[18:05] <newguys2> hi, where is python located?
[18:05] <Tomcat_> newguys2: "locate python" :)
[18:05] <flow> newguys2: locate python
[18:05] <flow> :)
[18:05] <wimdows> hmm - is it normal that my just connected PATA drive doesn't show up using df?
[18:05] <Tomcat_> newguys2: /usr/bin/python usually.
[18:06] <knoppix> :)
[18:06] <wimdows> Main drive is SATA
[18:06] <Drule> So hey
[18:06] <Drule> what do I need to do in order to set up a wired network between my Vista comp and Ubuntu?
[18:06] <Drule> Do I need an application for Vista?
[18:06] <Drule> Ubuntu is currently searching for a network connection or something
[18:06] <stefg> warlock_handler: i'd runn badblocks and install smartmon-tools to check if your drive is ok. This can be the signs of a slowly beginning death
[18:06] <flow> any help on my aoss issue would be appreciated
[18:07] <popdog123> !NTFS
[18:07] <Cyberai> Drule, how does your Vista system connect to your wireless?
[18:07] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE
 i should install a smartmon-tools ??
[18:07] <mynyml> Tomcat_: ohh. thats a good idea. then i guess i could just dpkg -P and reinstall
[18:07] <Drule> I'm not trying to set up a wireless LAN
[18:07] <stefg> warlock_handler: yes, to be able to read the smart messages from your disk
[18:07] <kakoonia> hey all
[18:08] <Cyberai> Drule, are you trying to get your ubuntu system connected to your AP or doa peer-to-peer between the ubuntu and vista systems?
 cool will do that right a way
[18:08] <Drule> Cyberai what does AP and doa mean
 is there any way to avoid using the bad sectors in the HDD
[18:08] <Drule> I am pretty new to Ubuntu and its terminology.
[18:08] <kakoonia> how do i set a scanner?
[18:08] <Tomcat_> Drule: Access Point
[18:09] <Drule> I see.
[18:09] <Cyberai> Drule, AP = wireless access point, doa = "do a" typod
[18:09] <Drule> p2p
[18:09] <Drule> I'm just trying to connect the two via a network cable.
[18:09] <stefg> warlock_handler: badblocks will give you sector numbers, and you can use the relating filesystem tool (tune2fs, reiserfstune or whatever) to mark them as unusable
 it says cant find smartmon-tools... why this error?
[18:09] <kakoonia> ive got a canon PIXMA MP170 (printer+scanner) how do i configure/install the scanner ?
[18:09] <WorkingOnWise> is there a way to link into a pdf. I want to make an OO document with links to specific locations in a pdf. Any ideas?
[18:10] <Cyberai> Drule, wireless or cabled? You're not being particularly clear?
[18:10] <flow> cabled I read
[18:10] <Drule> Well that's what I meant by wired
[18:10] <flow> Drule: IP-addresses all set ... have you got a DHCP running?
[18:10] <Drule> cabled yes
[18:10] <rawb> if I install a program from gutsy-proposed and it then gets moved to gutsy-updates two weeks later, will my system be able to figure out the package moved when a new version comes out and I do an 'aptitude update'? or will I have to tell it it moved?
[18:10] <Drule> I am wondering if I will need any additional applications for any of the systems
[18:10] <Drule> for starters!
[18:10] <Cyberai> Drule, no
[18:11] <stefg> !info smartmontools | warlock_handler
[18:11] <Drule> Swell.
[18:11] <ubotu> warlock_handler: smartmontools: control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T.. In component main, is optional. Version 5.37-5ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 280 kB, installed size 684 kB
[18:11] <stefg> warlock_handler: so its without '-'
[18:11] <Drule> Okay well it found an unidentified network I think.
[18:11] <Drule> So I don't know, flow
 yup googled it.. and got it... thnx dude
[18:11] <ToddEDM> hey guys im back... im still looking for something to mess with this goof who is connected to my LAN
[18:12] <Cyberai> Drule, set your vista system to a static IP of something like 192.168.1.3, and the ubuntu to 192.168.1.4. Then share a folder on the vista system. With any luck it should pop up after a couple minutes in the network folder of the ubuntu system
[18:12] <SmashCat> Hi, I'm on a server running  dapper, it's got pureftpd installed which doesn't appear to allow directory aliases (though the docs claim it does for some reason). Is there a good alternative that supports users going outside the home directory?
 will now install reiserfstune
[18:12] <flow> my call to "aoss teamspeak" no longer gives a microphone ... I've been battling with some sound-capturing recently ... whatever I toggled I can't remember, help me fix this please :)

[18:12] <Cyberai> ToddEDM, someone is connected to your WAP?
[18:12] <ToddEDM> yes
[18:12] <Drule> Alright Cyberai, I'll give that a try. Thanks.
[18:12] <bulmer> ToddEDM-> it looks like you're the one that got frustrated and not those leachers..hehehe
[18:13] <ToddEDM> im not frustrated
[18:13] <Cyberai> ToddEDM, first think you should do is scan him using NMAP -P0
[18:13] <ToddEDM> what is nmap -po
[18:13] <mus_dur> türkçe bilen varmı
[18:13] <MolePrince> ToddEDM: Or just enable WEP/WPA :P  Or at least a MAC whitelist.
[18:13] <ReK_> my gutsy refuses to boot now, it hangs after execing /etc/rc.local, yet the only thing in that file is the default 'exit 0'...
[18:14] <Cyberai> ToddEDM, it will show you every open port on his PC, and with any luck what OS he is using
[18:14] <ToddEDM> MolePrince:  i will later
[18:14]  * flow only comes in here when RTFM hasn't helped in hours ... always get's ignored ... but it gives him new energy to RTFM
[18:14] <flow> so long .. thanks for nothing (yet again)
[18:14] <warlock_handler> ok guys i am out of here... will catch you guys later... peace
[18:15] <ReK_> my gutsy refuses to boot now, it hangs after execing /etc/rc.local, yet the only thing in that file is the default 'exit 0'...

[18:22] <xzased> I need some help capturing video in ubuntu
[18:22] <dfcarney> Drule: you'll need to set up Samba
[18:22] <ReK_> bulmer: i dont, but with all my laptops i had to get some acpi project working to change them
[18:22] <Ax-Ax> Ctrl-Alt-F1 shows a black screen only, but commands work. But I can't read the output :(
[18:22] <xzased> is there any hardware that works with linux?
[18:22] <dfcarney> Drule: pretty straight forward, just make sure that the PCs are in the same workgroup
[18:23] <ReK_> Can someone help me with my gutsy, it isnt booting anymore, it simply stops the boot process after running /etc/rc.local, yet all that file contains is the default 'exit 0'....
[18:24] <xzased> I mean< video capture hardware
[18:24] <bulmer> ReK_-> i dont follow you, is acpi one of the very first scripts run in the levels 2-5?
[18:24] <foug> I try installing samba-common and it tells me I allready have it. How do I open it to set it up and configure it? I'm trying to put a hard drive on the network

[18:25] <Drule> I can't share this folder if I don't give it access first

[18:25] <Drule> Do I have to use Samba?
[18:26] <arash_> Hi, I would like yo be automatically logged in when i start my computer, is that possible with Ubuntu? I know I could with Kubuntu
[18:26] <bulmer> Drule-> you have to have the ubuntu side running samba so it will appear in the windows side
[18:26] <Drule> Well this is going to be tricky
[18:26] <bulmer> ReK_-> is this a new install? has it run before?
[18:26] <Drule> my Ubuntu comp doesn't have an internet connection anymore
[18:26] <Drule> is samba the only way to go?

[18:27] <ubuntu> hi there
[18:27] <Drule> I switched to mobile internet
[18:27] <Drule> but it's not linux compatible
[18:27] <ReK_> bulmer: yeah, just installed. ran once after taking out the livecd. i changed the settings to use my 2nd monitor and rebooted, then this happened
[18:27] <Drule> Also alright.
[18:27] <Drule> Thanks.
[18:27] <DigitalNinja_> Drule: What kind of mobile internet?
[18:27] <Drule> What kinds are there
[18:28] <bulmer> ReK_-> i dont know what settings you changed, you may as well re-install to get a fresh start
[18:28] <DigitalNinja_> Drule: I was thinking of the cell phone type
[18:28] <ubuntu> I encounte problems by using grub with raid something but I do not succeed to find what ? any helps ?

[18:28] <bulmer> Drule there is the pay type and the once you leached for free..lol
[18:28] <Drule> that accesses the 3G net
[18:28] <ReK_> bulmer: whats the path to xorg.conf, i might be able to use vim to reset it to single monitor
[18:28] <DigitalNinja_> Drule: I see.
[18:28] <Noble> I'm trying to do a raid installation using the alternative cd, expert mode... it always fails on 'select and install' on a gstreamer package... says the hash is bad... other than reburning the cd, is there any way I can manually exclude that package or force it to download it during install?
[18:28] <bulmer> ReK_-> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:28] <Drule> Ya I have the free kind too bulmer ;-)
[18:29] <DigitalNinja_> Drule: Do you have any info on the card
[18:29] <ReK_> thanks
[18:29] <jerbear> how do i set the windows key to be a key modifier?
[18:29] <Drule> Well, it is possible to set up with Linux according to some pages I've read
[18:29] <Drule> but apparently it's a huge hassle
[18:29] <DigitalNinja_> Oh
[18:29] <Drule> and I'll probably have to download stuff
[18:29] <Drule> basically you have to install the usb device manually or something
[18:29] <Drule> and recompile the kernel
[18:29] <Drule> I don't know. I'm new to Linux, so I didn't understand all of it.
[18:30] <neilmorrow> hi all
[18:30] <dfcarney> Drule: for new drivers, recompiling the kernel is typical.  it's not that bad, once you get used to it.  best to have someone guide you through the steps however (first time i did it, about a decade ago, i totally screwed up my system)

[18:30] <ubuntu> what should I answer from livecd
[18:31] <Drule> well
[18:31] <ubuntu> thanx
[18:31] <Drule> just installing a new kernel seems to have screwed up my system
[18:31] <Drule> so
[18:31] <Drule> I think I'll pass on that for now :-)
[18:31] <dfcarney> Drule: you *may* be able to get away with just recompiling the driver, if the source files are available and properly referenced against the kernel headers
[18:31] <Drule> idk that's probably overkill for me
[18:31] <Drule> but good to know at least.
[18:32] <foug> I try installing samba-common and it tells me I allready have it. How do I open it to set it up and configure it? I'm trying to put a hard drive on the network

[18:36] <boulba> how to set a wallpaper with fluxbox ?

[18:39] <dfcarney> foug: oh, i see what you're saying.  not sure about NFS, having made only light use of it.  i think that you need to flip a switch in windows to enable an NFS server or something
[18:40] <dfcarney> !nfs
[18:40] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[18:40] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: did you burn it as an iso file? You need an add on to windows to do that...give me a few and i'll let you know what i used
[18:40] <jacob> i'm having difficulties making some mp3 visible in the program from a folder
[18:40] <infinitycircuit> Ax-Ax, when you boot, do you see the framebuffer splash screen, or do you get a blank screen then as well?
[18:40] <jacob> it only imported 2 songs
[18:40] <haffouff> my load_cycle_count is at 148372
[18:40] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdiq: no I my cd burner like extracts it for me
[18:40] <haffouff> and it's not stopping growing :(
[18:40] <haffouff> need help please
[18:40] <foug> dfcarney: i see, thanks for the help
[18:41] <slavik> any idea why a user would not be allowed to create a session?
[18:41] <Ax-Ax> infinitycircuit, usplash works
[18:41] <dfcarney> foug: no problem...and good luck.
[18:42] <bulmer> slavik is it a valid user? has correct permissions?
[18:42] <Noble> I'm trying to do a raid installation using the alternative cd, expert mode... it always fails on 'select and install' on a gstreamer package... says the hash is bad... other than reburning the cd, is there any way I can manually exclude that package or force it to download it during install?
[18:42] <blubloblu> dfcarney: do you know how to get mediawiki to appear in /var/www?
[18:43] <arash_> Hi, I would like yo be automatically logged in when i start my computer, is that possible with Ubuntu? I know I could with Kubuntu
[18:43] <dfcarney> blubloblu: nope :)  like i said, i've never set it up myself
[18:43] <kakoonia> ive got a canon PIXMA MP170 (printer+scanner) how do i configure/install the scanner ?
[18:43] <slavik> bulmer: it is me (I want to open a second xsession) and what permissions should there be?
[18:43] <Noble> arash_: yes, its possible
[18:43] <blubloblu> :( anyone?
[18:43] <arash_> Noble: how ?
[18:43] <Noble> arash_: can't remember how, i'm at work at the moment
[18:44] <arash_> Noble: ok thanks, but its possible from the GUI right?
[18:44] <Noble> arash_: but its an option under administration somewhere
[18:44] <dfcarney> blubloblu: have you seen this? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Ubuntu_GNU/Linux
[18:44] <Noble> arash_: yep, you can do it with a few clicks from the gui
[18:44] <kakoonia> !scanner

[18:44] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin:  i used iso recorder from isorecorder.alexfeinman.com. when you boot, you may need to tell your bios to boot from the cd-rom
[18:44] <slavik> bulmer: I've been trying to figure out how to launch an xsession for just one app (a game)
[18:44] <trekkme>  hi i got a ubuntu 7.10 as host and a winxpprof as guest, installed vmwaretools and spezified and activated a shared folder in host system, but cannot connect to the shared folder via guest, guest and host are pingable from both sides...
[18:44] <eth01> !bitlbee
[18:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bitlbee - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:45] <bulmer> slavik-> right now are you using like gnome or kde?
[18:45] <slavik> gnome, of course :P
[18:45] <slavik> bulmer: just tell me where to go :)
[18:45] <slavik> hmm, that came out wrong ...
[18:45] <dfcarney> Has anyone noticed a considerable performance hit after upgrading to Gusty?  In particular, Firefox now runs about 10x slower for me...  Any ideas?
[18:46] <slavik> dfcarney: how is firefox slower?
[18:46] <bulmer> slavik, i cant i dont have my Xwindows notes here with me to reference..sorry
[18:46] <bulmer> i have to google
[18:46] <dfcarney> slavik: lag and response time.  in particular, pages heavy on javascript take *forever* to respond
[18:46] <kitche> dfcarney: probably due to that it's using gcj instead of java
[18:46] <infinitycircuit> dfcarney, try turning off ipv6 and use noscript to selectively stop javacript
[18:47] <slavik> bulmer: damn it :( ... I remember someone had code somewhere where it would start a session with just wine running WoW ... that is essentially what I want to do ...
[18:47] <gerg> hi all
[18:47] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdiq: so I go into my bios and tell it too boot from cd?
[18:47] <toresn> can anyone help me with mplayer... to make it run i have to do it with -vo x11 (but no fullscreen then).. i'm running an external monitor connected to my laptop whose monitor is disabled... the video card is a ati mobility radeon 9700
[18:47] <toresn> here's my xorg.conf:
[18:47] <dfcarney> infinitycircuit: how do i disable ipv6?
[18:47] <toresn> http://pastebin.com/d1bd11593
[18:47] <juano__> dfcarney: ipv6 probably
[18:47] <gerg> how do I troubleshoot a wireless connection that was setup improperly?
[18:47] <dfcarney> !ipv6 | dfcarney
[18:47] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: yup
[18:47] <kitche> slavik: umm that's not hard let me write the code right out for you
[18:48] <juano__> dfcarney: a fast solution only for firefox is to type in url about:config , search for ipv6 and turn the variable to false
[18:48] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdig: if that doesnt work could you think of anything else that could be the problem?
[18:48] <Noble> what "more options" can i pass during install?
[18:48] <juano__> dfcarney: but if you never use ipv6 for nothing, just turn it off globally
[18:48] <slavik> I've went through google and forums and couldn't find it (even though it is simple)
[18:48] <dfcarney> juano__: hehe -- i just did.  need to restart, apparently
[18:49] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: did you check the md5 checksum of the downloaded file to what is on the website? if the download got messed up, you may encounter other problems
[18:49] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> md5 checksum?
[18:49] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> I feel stupid now
[18:50] <kitche> slavik: http://pastebin.ca/797060 is one way to do it or you could make a file so you can login though gdm each time
[18:50] <MasterShrek> slavik, use a minimal window manager like fluxbox or blackbox and have the window manager run a startup script that will start wow, then when u login from gdm pick that window manager
[18:50] <juano__> dfcarney: yep, if it doesnt work probably you need to run gksudo firefox, (set the variable to false with sudo permissions) close it, and then continue using it normally
[18:50] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: aw, don't do that, its just an opportunity to learn, we all have to do that every day. keep going, and if you have other questions, just ask
[18:50] <Guest16155> hello, i got today new computer and i want to clone my ubuntu from the old computer to the new, what is the best way to clone hdd on ubuntu system ?
[18:50] <slavik> here's another thing, I don't want to login from gdm
[18:51] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, dd
[18:51] <Juan> how can i watch asx video streams?
[18:51] <MasterShrek> dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1  (for example hard drive device names)
[18:51] <slavik> I am already logged in through gdm to my regular environment, and I just want to have a script that starts an xsession with wine/doom3/ut2k4/ut3 in it and such
[18:51] <levander> Juan: http://pastebin.com/m5c185e70
[18:51] <juano__> Juan: installed ubuntu-restricted-formats ?
[18:52] <Juan> yeah, i have everything
[18:52] <levander> juano__: wrong place, hold on
[18:52] <MasterShrek> Juan, medibuntu too?
[18:52] <Juan> everything
[18:52] <Juan> w32 and stuff
[18:52] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdig: ok first what is md5checksum
[18:52] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: can i make this command from the ubuntu ? or i must use an LIVE CD ?
[18:52] <slavik> that or I would like to find out how to get compiz to place windows over the panels (stuff that is supposed to be fullscreen)
[18:52] <MasterShrek> gstreamer bad and ugly?
[18:52] <levander> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread?t=413624
[18:52] <PO> Hi all ubuntu users!
[18:52] <Juan> its all in
[18:52] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, either way
[18:52] <levander> Juan: follow that link
[18:52] <Juan> will do
[18:53] <slavik> or have different panel configuration depending on the desktop within compiz
[18:53] <juano__> Juan uruguayo ?
[18:53] <Juan> indeed
[18:53] <juano__> hehehehe
[18:53] <juano__> arriba
[18:53] <Juan> bueno
[18:53] <Juan> como va
[18:53] <Juan> acá en inglés che
[18:53] <juano__> yep
[18:53] <kitche> umm just put what you want in a .xinitrc then then do startx
[18:53] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: it computes a checksum of the file so that you can verify its integrity. most unix and linux systems come with it, with windows you have to download it.
[18:53] <abbe> hi channel
[18:54] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdig: kk
[18:54] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> thx
[18:54] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: sorry about all the questions ... how i can see my primary drive name ? (so i will not make mistake and erase my system) ?
[18:54] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: no problem, hope it goes well
[18:54] <gerg> how can you reset/remove any wireless network connections you've created?
[18:54] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdig: I installed it I see this compare thing what do I do here?
[18:54] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, are you logged into your ubuntu system right now or using a livecd?
[18:54] <abbe> does 'virtualbox-ose' package (gutsy/amd64) contains i386 version of VirtualBox, hmm... ? I'm thinking to install that.
[18:55] <ibanez> i can't seem to get my wireless on the net using ubuntu feisty, how can i scan for networks ?
[18:55] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: i am now logged into my ubuntu ..
[18:55] <kitche> abbe: yes ose just means open source edition
[18:55] <MolePrince> ibanez: iwlist scanning
[18:55] <abbe> kitche: so thats 32bit or 64bit ?
[18:55] <ibanez> eth1 says no scan results
[18:55] <kitche> abbe: both
[18:55] <ibanez> but im like 2 feet away from the router
[18:55] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, type mount in a terminal and it will show you what is mounted where, whatever is mounted at / is your root partition (put this device at if=/dev/xxxx)
[18:56] <MolePrince> ibanez: check iwconfig eth1 and see if it reports it as having wireless extensions.
[18:56] <abbe> kitche: you mean if I install openbox-ose on my amd64 installation, I'll get both virtualbox executables (one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit), hmm... ?
[18:56] <juano__> ibanez: in the gnome desktop you have the network nm-applet , if your wireless is in roaming mode it should scan all available networks there
[18:56] <ibanez> well it has IEEE 802.11b/g
[18:56] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: don't know which program you're using, but it either wants the checksum from the download website for ubuntu so it can do the comparison for you or it is wanting the path to a file with that info
[18:56] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> http://www.nullriver.com/index/products/winmd5sum
[18:56] <theravingsociety> ibanez: eth1 is not likely the device name of your wireless card. should be atho, wlan0 or something like that
[18:56] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> robdig: that one
[18:57] <pudland> need help patching kernel for bluetooth headset
[18:57] <ibanez> hrm
[18:57] <abbe> kitche: I'm currently running Gobuntu (amd64/7.10)
[18:57] <slavik> theravingsociety: eth is possible though
[18:57] <ibanez> bcm43xx
[18:57] <immolo_> heya, I have an nvidia 8500 GT and I'm trying to get tvout working with svideo but ubuntu isn't seeing it
[18:57] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: give me just a moment
[18:57] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> sure
[18:57] <juano__> ibanez: System ---> Admin ---> network, check if eth1 is in roaming mode
[18:57] <ibanez> it is
[18:57] <ibanez> i just checked for that
[18:58] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: so in this command  dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1 - my source drive is "if=/dev/hda1" .. and the target drive is "of=dev..etc." ?
[18:58] <slavik> I've been told that bcm43xx works with WEP (the one in gutsy)
[18:58] <kitche> abbe: no you will get whatever arch you use
[18:58] <juano__> ibanez: clicked nm-applet on desktop ?
[18:58] <abbe> kitche: okay, thank you very much
[18:58] <slavik> Guest16155: if = input file, of = output file :)
[18:58] <ibanez> correct Juan
[18:58] <ibanez> juano__*
[18:58] <Juan> juan needs help too
[18:58] <ibanez> beside wireless connection, instead of having a check mark, i have a -
[18:59] <slavik> Guest16155: you might also want to add bs=8MB (bs = buffer size)
[18:59] <Juan> with asx video streams
[18:59] <juano__> ibanez: does it see the available networks ?
[18:59] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, yep, make sure the partition scheme is right on your destination drive, including a swap partition
[18:59] <ibanez> it doesn't see any juano__
[18:59] <ibanez> it is a bcm43xx
[18:59] <Juan> how can i watch asx video streams?
[18:59] <ibanez> i knwo there has been problems with restricted drivers in gutsy
[18:59] <juano__> ibanez: in terminal sudo iwlist scan what does that output ?
[19:00] <ibanez> now it says it dosn't support scanning
[19:00] <ibanez> No Such Device
[19:00] <MasterShrek> ibanez, do you have the firmware for it?
[19:00] <ibanez> no
[19:00] <ibanez> i do not
[19:00] <MasterShrek> you need firmware for bcm43xx cards
[19:00] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: how can i check if my partition scheme is right on my destination drive, including a swap partition?
[19:00] <ibanez> k
[19:00] <ibanez> ill google for it
[19:00] <Noble> can anyone help me setup a new raid1 installation? It seems to refuse to let me partition my new md0 device with BOTH an ext3 partition AND a swap partition
[19:00] <MasterShrek> ibanez, http://www.mediafire.com/?bqn8x4eancv
[19:01] <MasterShrek> ibanez, extract that file to /lib/firmware
[19:01] <ibanez> thanks MasterShrek
[19:01] <pudland> help with kernel pls.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45811/
[19:01] <Juan> how can i watch asx video streams? (i have all of the codecs)
[19:01] <rsk> Juan: mplayerplug-in
[19:01] <juano__> ibanez: ahh no installed driver
[19:01] <Juan> yeah
[19:01] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, sudo fdisk -l  (pastebin the output if you want me to have a look at it)
[19:01] <buzztu> in order to connect to my wifi network with wpa i need to restart my router
[19:02] <tovella> Noble: why not put your swap partion somewhere other than md0?
[19:02] <Noble> i can do that, but i read that if the drive with the swap partition fails, the system will crash
[19:02] <ibanez> thank god for flash drives ;p
[19:03] <popern> Is it possible to upgrade to Ubuntu from Debian?
[19:03] <slavik> popern: you can't really upgrade between distributions
[19:03] <ibanez> juano__ may i ask a slighter dumb question ?
[19:03] <juano__> ibanez: sure
[19:03] <ibanez> how do i extract it to /lib/firmware ?
[19:03] <slavik> popern: it would better be to reinstall from scratch ... which is easy if you separated your root and home partitions :)
[19:03] <popern> slavik: I know, but ubuntu is based on debian right? ^^
[19:03] <juano__> ibanez: tar.gz ?
[19:04] <ibanez> tar.bz2
[19:04] <slavik> popern: yes
[19:04] <infinitycircuit> popern, the repositories are too different to allow an "upgrade" really
[19:04] <pudland> help with kernel patch pls.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45811/
[19:04] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: what should i look for in the output ? (sorry i cant past the output becouse i am not surfing from the same computer)
[19:04] <juano__> ibanez: sudo tar -xvzf yourtarfile.tar.bz2 /lib/firmware
[19:04] <popern> ~okey
[19:04] <infinitycircuit> popern, i do know someone who took damn small linux -> knoppix -> breezy badger -> etch
[19:04] <infinitycircuit> popern, but that is very unlikely
[19:04] <RebelX> ubuntu 7.10 only has 2 workspaces how do i add more?
[19:04] <tovella> Noble: if that happens, replace the failed drive and reboot.  i have never put a swap partition raid, and my main server has been running for about 3 years.
[19:05] <krim> RebelX: Right click on them and choose preferences
[19:05] <mrmonday> how can I make ubuntu automatically mount the swap partition when it starts? It doesdn't seem to do it any more
[19:05] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, well, just that your hdb looks similar to your hda, the desitination partion on hdb should be at least as big as the source on hda, and you should have a swap partition on hdb
[19:05] <theravingsociety> RebelX: krim was faster ;-)
[19:05] <ibanez> says gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
[19:05] <popern> Its just that the Ubuntu install CD won't work on my computer, but the Debian CD works ;o
[19:05] <Puaff> please, does anyone know when will wmware-player be available in 7.10?
[19:05] <ibanez> tar: /lib/firmware not found in archive
[19:05] <Jooles> hi all. Anyone know how long it'll be until Xorg 7.3 is gonna be in the ubuntu packages?
[19:05] <Noble> popern: have you tried the alternative cd?
[19:05] <RebelX> Thx krim apparently im a real newb
[19:05] <popern> Noble: yes
[19:05] <juano__> ibanez: go to /lib/firmware first
[19:05] <MasterShrek> ibanez, its a bzip2 file isnt it?
[19:05] <slavik> MasterShrek: any idea if there is a filesystem aware dd?
[19:05] <astevens> mrmonday, make sure its set in your fstab
[19:06] <theravingsociety> Puaff: why don't you use virtualbox?
[19:06] <Noble> popern: how does it not work?
[19:06] <MasterShrek> slavik, im not sure, i guess thats probably something to look at too
[19:06] <Puaff> theravingsociety, please, what's that?
[19:06] <Guest16155> MasterShrek: does there is other simple way to clone ubuntu ? (i mean like on graphic mode ? like norton ghost on windows systems) ?
[19:06] <krim> RebelX: It's all so obvious once you know it :)
[19:06] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, also make sure your filesystems are the ame, i dont know if its totally nesicarry but its soemthing i would make sure of
[19:06] <slavik> Guest16155: there is a linux distribution made for that
[19:06] <MasterShrek> Guest16155, probably, but this is easy to do, if you know what you are doing
[19:06] <mrmonday> astevens, what do I need to add to make it auto mount it?
[19:07] <juano__> ibanez: sudo tar -xvf <routetoyourtarfile> , do that inside /lib/firmware
[19:07] <theravingsociety> Puaff: pretty much the same, but open source software
[19:07] <Zaqio> Hey, anyone know how to run WOW on linux?
[19:07] <ibanez> k
[19:07] <Puaff> theravingsociety, could I use my vmware machines in virtualbox?
[19:07] <astevens> mrmonday, you need to have it set in your fstab. you can find examples on google for enabling swap
[19:07] <ibanez> odd
[19:07] <slavik> Guest16155: the destination drive, do you want to keep any information it has or do you want it to be the exact copy of the source drive?
[19:07] <theravingsociety> Puaff: afaik no
[19:07] <ibanez> tar: /lib/firmware: Not found in archive
[19:07] <krim> Zaqio: I've seen some guides, try and search the Ubuntu forums or maybe the official WoW forums. Anyway, shouldn't be too hard to find.
[19:08] <robdig> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: copy the md5checksum for the file you downloaded from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes and paste it into the box in your md5checksum tool. That's a nice one, btw...
[19:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest16155: are the partitions on the destination the same?
[19:08] <Scunizi> Does anyone have a functional IMAP access to their Gmail account? I've got POP working but can't get IMAP.
[19:08] <Puaff> theravingsociety, I will have a look at it, thx a lot
[19:08] <MasterShrek> ibanez, tar -xf bcm4311_firmware.tar
[19:08] <theravingsociety> no problem
[19:09] <Guest16155> slavik: in my old computer i have hdd of 500gb , and in the new one i also have 500gb hdd , (just 1 partition)
[19:09] <MasterShrek> ibanez, then: sudo mv bcm43xx* /lib/firmware
[19:09] <slavik> Guest16155: and you want both to be identical?
[19:09] <astevens> mrmonday, sent you an example, change to reflect where your swap is
[19:09] <Guest16155> slavik: yes
[19:09] <ibanez> ok
[19:09] <ibanez> that worked MasterShrek
[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> slavik: what about dd copy
[19:09] <ibanez> now it should read my card ?
[19:09] <slavik> Guest16155: you can do ghost's version of "disk to disk" by doing 'dd if=/dev/firsthd of=/dev/secondhd bs=4MB'
[19:09] <Hilikus> hey guys, i have a smb share that i mount on windows and it works fine, i mount it persistently so next time i reboot windows the drive still shows up there, but it says "network drive disconnected" even though the smb computer is fully functional, so the drive does show there but if i try to run something from it (like mp3s) it wont work, i have to go to windows explorer and double click on the drive and then i gets "mounted". cou
[19:10] <MasterShrek> ibanez, yes, try: sudo modprobe bcm43xx
[19:10] <slavik> Jack_Sparrow: ddcopy?
[19:10] <ibanez> ok
[19:10] <lucio123> Ciao to all of you
[19:10] <Jack_Sparrow> see what he said
[19:10] <Hilikus> has anyone experienced this?
[19:10] <Scunizi> Ciao lucio123
[19:10] <MasterShrek> Hilikus, ive noticed the same issues, never really foudn a fix for it...jsut scrap windows would prolly work best :P
[19:10] <juano__> MasterShrek: ibanez there is also the possibility your card is listed in restricted drivers
[19:10] <Jack_Sparrow> slavik: I did not want to talk over his help to you
[19:10] <ibanez> MasterShrek juano__, i am very greatful
[19:10] <ibanez> well it sees my card now !
[19:10] <juano__> ibanez: good
[19:11] <Hilikus> MasterShrek hehe, im glad im not the only one

[19:11] <slavik> Jack_Sparrow: feel free to PM me then?
[19:11] <kitche> Hilikus: yes that's how it's suppose to work, you have to make windows connect to the drive at boot
[19:11] <spaz> hey there :)
[19:11] <astevens> Hilikus, you want a persistent mount. windows can set a permanent mount, otherwise you need to add it everytime you boot
[19:11] <juano__> ibanez: now from nm-applet you should see your router
[19:11] <Jack_Sparrow> slavik: I'm fine.. thanks, mostly lurking while watching football
[19:11] <slavik> :(

[19:11] <AlanBShepard70> Every few boots of my computer my login screen freezes and forces me to reboot. When the login screen doesn't freeze sometimes after I login while the computer is loading my user settings the monitor flicks off and I have to reboot. This happens on and off. Any ideas on how to remedy this? My hardware is in good order. Everything works flawlessly with windows and with the previous ubuntu release 7.04

[19:11] <lucio123> scunizi ciao, I have a little problem when I install the emulator ZSNES
[19:12] <Scunizi> lucio123, sorry, I don't know anything about it.
[19:12] <Hilikus> astevens just like i said, i made it persistent already, the drive shows up in my drives under my computer, so it IS persistent, but its not automatically connected
[19:12] <ibanez> juano__ yes it does, i am connected
[19:12] <Hilikus> kitche how do i do that
[19:12] <popern> Noble: or HDx. as X in some letter or number, don't realy remember
[19:12] <lucio123> if somebody can give me a little help???
[19:12] <ibanez> ty juano__ and MasterShrek you guys rock
[19:12] <MasterShrek> lucio123, whats the problem? also there is another snes emulator in the repos if i remember correctly
[19:12] <juano__> ibanez: MasterShrek rocks
[19:12] <popern> Noble: hda maby
[19:12] <ibanez> lol
[19:12] <ibanez> finally
[19:12] <juano__> ibanez: hehehe
[19:12] <popdog123> hello! i have a problem: i cannot see the titlebar of any window. I tried changing the appearance but it didn't work. I don't see the edges of any windows either so i can't resize nor move them. (i have ubuntu 7.10)
[19:12] <ibanez> a distro that works
[19:12] <astevens> AlanBShepard70, do you see any issues in dmesg?
[19:13] <mrmonday> astevens, is /dev/sda5  	swap  	swap  	pri=42  	0 0 right, where /dev/sda5 is my swap file?
[19:13] <Jack_Sparrow> lucio123: This isnt really the place for snes help
[19:13] <ibanez> i know it's that ubuntu sticker on my monitor !
[19:13] <ibanez> ;p
[19:13] <kitche> Hilikus: remap the drive and check connect at boot or whatever it states
[19:13] <lucio123> this is the error that I get "Error: "/tmp/ksocket-root" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0."
[19:13] <Scunizi> popdog123, sounds like you turned on "effects" right?
[19:13] <popdog123> yeah
[19:13] <MasterShrek> ibanez, thats not a distro-specific thing, the bcm43xx driver in the actual linux kernel is much better supported these days
[19:13] <juano__> ibanez: im wondering that it should of prompted you on boot time for a driver for your broadcom
[19:13] <Hilikus> kitche i did that already
[19:13] <lucio123> but I don't understand
[19:13] <AlanBShepard70> astevens: not that I know of. Where can I check?
[19:13] <Jack_Sparrow> lucio123: You running Kubuntu?
[19:13] <ibanez> i never got a prompt juano__
[19:13] <astevens> mrmonday, i believe that looks good to me.
[19:13] <ibanez> however on
[19:13] <kitche> Hilikus: no you made it persistent which is different
[19:13] <popdog123> should i turn them off?
[19:13] <MasterShrek> juano__, is the not the driver, its the firmware, iirc some intel chips require the same sort of process
[19:13] <ibanez> gutsy gibbon
[19:14] <ibanez> it was under restricted drivers
[19:14] <lucio123> no, I run Ubuntu 7.10
[19:14] <astevens> AlanBShepard70, type    dmesg  and then enter
[19:14] <ibanez> never could get it working
[19:14] <ibanez> so i installed slack 12
[19:14] <ibanez> zenwalk
[19:14] <ibanez> backtrack2
[19:14] <ibanez> lol
[19:14] <ibanez> quite a few others
[19:14] <Hilikus> kitche i checked that chekbox in the frontend to mount it, thats the only setting there is
[19:14] <ibanez> then i was like, ill try feisty
[19:14] <MasterShrek> ibanez, slackware ftw!
[19:14] <Scunizi> popdog123, you need to download and install the config prog for compiz.  You'll find it in synaptic. Search for Compiz and you'll recognize the name. It's long. Once loaded put a check mark next to 'decorations'
[19:14] <Jack_Sparrow> lucio123: Is that from Ubuntu repos or some other site
[19:14] <ibanez> i like slack MasterShrek
[19:14] <MasterShrek> ibanez, its even better supported in gutsy
[19:14] <ibanez> had great success with slack 11.o
[19:14] <Hilikus> kitche i also tried from the command shell using /persistent:yes
[19:14] <slavik> Guest16155: you can read more about dd by ussuing 'man dd' command
[19:14] <juano__> MasterShrek: ahh i see, cause a friend has a dell inspiron with broadcom and it prompted for the driver, after that he specified the driver and it just worked
[19:14] <MasterShrek> ibanez, im running slamd64 12.0
[19:15] <AlanBShepard70> astevens: I'm checking now.
[19:15] <ibanez> mine is an inspiron
[19:15] <ibanez> 600m
[19:15] <kitche> Hilikus: as I states persistent != connect
[19:15] <lucio123> I get it from the site Zsnes
[19:15] <ibanez> nice MasterShrek you like ?
[19:15] <MasterShrek> juano__, yea i think there are some broadcom firmwares in the repos, but they dont always work afaik
[19:15] <Scunizi> Anyone using IMAP with gmail?
[19:15] <MasterShrek> ibanez, i love =D
[19:15] <juano__> MasterShrek: i see
[19:15] <popdog123> "compizconfig-settings-manager"?
[19:15] <ibanez> awesome man
[19:15] <ibanez> ooo i like compiz
[19:15] <Hilikus> kitche ok, i understand that, but what im saying is, where's that option. i havent seen it in the frontend nor in the command shell
[19:15] <astevens> Hilikus, create the mapped share from the windows tools menu
[19:15] <juano__> compiz rules
[19:15] <mrmonday> astevens, i'll try that now, thanks
[19:15] <Scunizi> popdog123, that's it.. if you don't use my nick you're messages will get lost in the noise.
[19:16] <lucio123> but I have the same error if I install it from Ubuntu
[19:16] <Jack_Sparrow> lucio123: Then that is the place to get help
[19:16] <astevens> mrmonday, np :)
[19:16] <popern> When I instert the Ubuntu Install CD and choose "Install ubuntu" the loading screen comes, and after a while it says: "hda?? is not availible" ?? = some number.
[19:16] <TheJedi2> When I select "start or install" ubuntu from cd the screen gets and nothing more happens
[19:16] <popern> whats wrong?
[19:16] <juano__> even better now that beryl joined compiz
[19:16] <kitche> Hilikus: on the frontend fi you don't see it then you must be blind or something I don't have a windows machine infront of me to see but it's in advance I believe
[19:16] <Jack_Sparrow> TheJedi2: does it do the self test?
[19:16] <ibanez> now i just gotta set up the package manager woo
[19:17] <TheJedi2> I see some message about "kernel is alive"
[19:17] <theravingsociety> popern: ubuntu cannot recognize your harddisk
[19:17] <Guest16155> how can i view my ports on ubuntu ? and open new port ?
[19:17] <slavik> Guest16155: I do suggest using the buffersize as big or bigger as the size of cache on the hard drives for faster transfers ... or even more if you have plenty of RAM :) (DMA is awesome)
[19:17] <lucio123> What means for you: "/tmp/ksocket-root" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.
[19:17] <MasterShrek> !firewall | Guest16155
[19:17] <astevens> Hilikus, go to a windows channel. they will walk you through it. or hit google and it will have screenshots. cant remember exactly what/wher eto click, but its easy.
[19:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !permissions
[19:17] <ubotu> Guest16155: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

[19:17] <Parsi> how can i install a .deb package?

[19:17] <Scunizi> Parsi, double click it.
[19:18] <juano__> Parsi: double click it
[19:18] <popdog123> Scunizi, well, it's checked but i see no difference
[19:18] <slavik> or by using debi ... (double click)

[19:18] <Parsi> another one
[19:18] <popdog123> Scunizi, do i have to restart or something?
[19:18] <Scunizi> popdog123, you might have to restart gdm.. ctrl+alt+backspace
[19:18] <astevens> Hilikus, up on the top menu, with file, etc. you really need to dig around or google it.
[19:18] <Parsi> i look for codecs to play mp3 and divx
[19:18] <popdog123> ok
[19:18] <Parsi> for my friend

[19:29] <ibanez> and doesn't have a - in it
[19:29] <slavik> UUID=... /mnt/point fstype ....
[19:29] <ComPro> Scunizi: Yes, fresh install, finished no more than 10 minutes ago.
[19:29] <juano__> ibanez: ok leave it
[19:30] <juano__> ibanez: nevermind sourcecode
[19:30] <Scunizi> ComPro, what kind of card do you have.
[19:30] <ComPro> Scunizi: ATI Radeon x1650 PCI Express
[19:30] <juano__> ibanez: just make sure the others are checked
[19:30] <ibanez> aye they are
[19:30] <w__> @slavik=> I can, manually. Nothing mounts automatically.
[19:30] <pussfeller> the upgrade manager said my install was in an unusable state and blink box was closing, and something about running dpkg again
[19:30] <RoC_MasterMind> Could someone test my telnet server?
[19:30] <Scunizi> ComPro, have you looked at /etc/X11/xorg.conf yet?
[19:30] <ibanez> all the files do not download
[19:30] <ibanez> could not download all respository indexes
[19:31] <ComPro> Scunizi: Yes, I have. It's a generic xorg.conf file with the change to it being FGLRX
[19:31] <ibanez> netowrk is down ;p
[19:31] <ferronica> On Ups Power, I check off Enable Ups Discharge Alarm then I hit close.. when I reopen that same menu the option is not checked.. what's going on? I have restarted the apc service a couple of times.. but it's still unchecked whenever I look at it
[19:31] <juano__> ibanez: try another server
[19:31] <Scunizi> ComPro, and have you reset xorg using the line contained in the first "text" portion of the file?
[19:31] <ComPro> Scunizi: Yes I have.
[19:32] <PeterPan_> Scunizi:  Jack_Sparrow . if i have write righst to some folders. a viri run by wine has the same rights. so it can destroy those files.......
[19:32] <PeterPan_> Scunizi:  Jack_Sparrow . no matter the are out side of the wine folders
[19:32] <juano__> !third-party
[19:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about third-party - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[19:32] <ArthurArchnix> Anyone know how to get either Drivel Journal editor or BlogGtk to connect to blogger.com?

[19:33] <Scunizi> ComPro, ok.. this might be an ATI issue for that particular card.  I run nvidia so I'm not the best person to diagnose this. ATI can be a pain.. Hopefully someone else will pick this up that knows.. Anyone?
[19:33] <Jack_Sparrow> PeterPan_: Simple solution.. stop using windows GARBAGE...   or show me a working example to porve your point
[19:33] <w__> I got this in fstab: UUID=4749-C774 /mnt/mini vfat 0 0. It still says that I'm not privileged.

[19:33] <nkbreau> hey all, i have a unit test in java i'm trying to run as my current user, cant run as root which makes a web http request, but i get the following - java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument or cannot assign requested address  - i think its a permission thing, anyone have any suggestions ? It's just an http fetch on port 80
[19:33] <ComPro> Anyone, help would be greatly appreciated. After a fresh install and setting my driver to FGLRX, X will not load properly, defaulting to a low graphics mode.
[19:33] <kitche> Jack_Sparrow: ubuntuforums has tons of working examples on it I posted an url earilier to the thread :)
[19:33] <slavik> w__: you need to make it ntfs-3g (I think), I haven't mounted ntfs partitions in a long time :)
[19:33] <sawq>    	 	 	 	 	 	   Hey. I was told to install Vista then XP then Ubuntu if I wanted to triple boot. And that is what I did. However, now that I attempt to boot up the machine, it gives the grub boot loader with only vista as a choice, and when I choose vista the computer says missing hal.dll cannot continue. and I backed up up the hard drive before I installed Ubuntu.
[19:34] <w__> but it's vfat now
[19:34] <LtEmerpoc> hey guys
[19:34] <Scunizi> PeterPan_, If you have an legitimit copy of winXX maybe you should load it in Vmware server so the whole thing is isolated.. runs great in vm by the way.
[19:34] <LtEmerpoc> im bakc
[19:34] <arash_> !vfat | w__
[19:34] <ubotu> w__: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE
[19:34] <PeterPan_> Jack_Sparrow:  a friend of mine got viri running with wine. it started 1. sending mails. 2. deleted folders that were writeable according to the presend user rights.
[19:34] <LtEmerpoc> sup guys anyone here thats not like idle?
[19:34] <Jack_Sparrow> PeterPan_: This is NOT the place for this discussion.

[19:34] <stefano> me
[19:34] <stefano> :)
[19:34] <LtEmerpoc> meaning can someone help me lol
[19:34] <w__> Ayayay! It's not NTFS! It's VFAT!
[19:35] <stefano> whats ul LtEmerpoc
[19:35] <arash_> !question | LtEmerpoc
[19:35] <ubotu> LtEmerpoc: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[19:35] <LtEmerpoc> ok lol
[19:35] <juano__> has anyone tried the third party so called "partner" ?
[19:35] <PeterPan_> Scunizi: Scunizi a friend of mine got viri running with wine. it started 1. sending mails. 2. deleted folders that were writeable according to the presend user rights.
[19:35] <juano__> in synaptic
[19:35] <Jack_Sparrow> PeterPan_: But it did NOT change or harm the Ubuntu environ.
[19:35] <LtEmerpoc> my xconf is messed up to the point where i cant uncheck my ati video card drestricted driver...
[19:35] <PeterPan_> Scunizi:  consumes double resources too
[19:35] <LtEmerpoc> so...
[19:36] <stefano> LtEmerpoc, just run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[19:36] <LtEmerpoc> i would like to know how to 1. fix that.. and then 2. uninstall
[19:36] <dad> hi
[19:36] <sky`sunset> can someone help me? how can i save changes to my usb drive while i am using live cd?
[19:36] <Scunizi> PeterPan_, saw that above.. strange.. must have been running his email within wine otherwise it'd be difficult to find a registry with email programs listed.
[19:36] <troseph> LtEmerpoc: install envy
[19:36] <PeterPan_> Jack_Sparrow: my files are more important than ubuntu
[19:36] <RequinB4> hello dad
[19:36] <LtEmerpoc> install envy? whats that...
[19:36] <sawq> Hey. I was told to install Vista then XP then Ubuntu if I wanted to triple boot. And that is what I did. However, now that I attempt to boot up the machine, it gives the grub boot loader with only vista as a choice, and when I choose vista the computer says missing hal.dll cannot continue. and I backed up up the hard drive before I installed Ubuntu.
[19:36] <ComPro> hey everyone. i just reinstalled by copy of ubuntu gutsy, and the only things I did was run the updater, and enable the restricted FGLRX driver. The FGLRX driver, when enabled, causes X to load in a low graphics mode, saying that it can't properly detect my screen or card. any thoughts?
[19:36] <Jack_Sparrow> PeterPan_: Stop running windows programs...
[19:36] <troseph> LtEmerpoc: JFGI
[19:37] <LucianIndy> LtEmerpoc: Do what stefano said -> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[19:37] <kitche> !jfgi | troseph
[19:37] <ubotu> troseph: Acronyms or statements like  noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[19:37] <Scunizi> ComPro, try the vesa driver.
[19:37] <sky`sunset> how can i save changes to usb drive while i am using live cd????
[19:37] <arash_> envy is not supported by this channel, though I must say I personally REALLY recommend it
[19:37] <ComPro> Scunizi: VESA works, but I don't want to use the vesa driver.
[19:37] <kane77> stupid question, but what is the "Local zeroconf network" setting?
[19:37] <Mixx> ComPro - install Envy.  it is great
[19:37] <ComPro> Mixx - what is envy?
[19:37] <troseph> kitche: gotcha
[19:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Mixx: Wrong  and evil
[19:37] <Jack_Sparrow> ComPro: Dont do it

[19:38] <ubotu> 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/
[19:38] <ComPro> Mixx - I'm running an ATI card, so it wouldn't work for me.
[19:38] <Mixx> ComPro - it's a script to instal nvidia  OR ATI drivers.   works for me each time a ubuntu upgrade hoses my config
[19:38] <ComPro> Mixx - Oh, ok.
[19:38] <sky`sunset> can someone help me?
[19:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Mixx: Please do NOT recommend that in here
[19:38] <Boohbah> ubuntu 8.10: indignant ibis?
[19:38] <Scunizi> ComPro, the problem with envy is when you upgrade later.. breakage

[19:38] <Scunizi> Mixx see above your last post
[19:39] <sky`sunset> how can i save changes to my usb while i am using live cd?
[19:39] <sawq> Anyone???
[19:39] <Jack_Sparrow> sky`sunset: set it up in persistent mode
[19:39] <sky`sunset> how?
[19:39] <ComPro> Scunizi - I don't know what to do right now though. It's a fresh install and I can't even do anything unless I use the VESA driver, and then I can't set up my dual head or compiz or anything, and that is what I want to do.
[19:39] <Mixx> I've tried that with no luck.  envy has always made it easy to install restricted drivers.
[19:39] <PeterPan_> Jack_Sparrow: some programs of windows can be replaced. e.g msn messenger.
[19:39] <sky`sunset> i just learned how to use linux
[19:39] <sky`sunset> i am a noob
[19:39] <w__> now i got this: UUID=4749-C774 /mnt/mini vfat user,noauto 0 0. we'll see how it goes.
[19:39] <Jack_Sparrow> sky`sunset: google up ubuntu persistent it is in our wiki
[19:39] <AngelsOfDestiny> Where can I get some screensavers for Ubuntu?
[19:39] <nadie> hi
[19:39] <arash_> sky`sunset - chanes to what?
[19:39] <Jack_Sparrow> PeterPan_: STOP.. this is OFFTOPIC
[19:40] <arash_> sky`sunset - changes to what? *
[19:40] <sky`sunset> changes to my usb
[19:40] <sky`sunset> while i am using live cd
[19:40] <Scunizi> ComPro, I understand... there are many threads on ubuntuforums.org about ATI and setup.. it doesn't sound like you're new to linux. Am I right?
[19:40] <Jack_Sparrow> sky`sunset: it is easy to do
[19:40] <ferronica> On Ups Power, I check off Enable Ups Discharge Alarm then I hit close.. when I reopen that same menu the option is not checked.. what's going on? I have restarted the apc service a couple of times.. but it's still unchecked whenever I look at it
[19:40] <sky`sunset> really?
[19:40] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[19:40] <sky`sunset> cuz every time i reboot
[19:40] <sky`sunset> i lose my files
[19:40] <ComPro> Scunizi - I'm fairly new, but I pretty much know what I'm doing.
[19:40] <PeterPan_> Jack_Sparrow: o
[19:40] <PeterPan_> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[19:40] <kane77> what is the "Local zeroconf network" setting?
[19:41] <sky`sunset> can someone give me the link?
[19:41] <Jack_Sparrow> When you boot the live you will type F6   then persistent  <enter>
[19:41] <arash_> sky`sunset - you are not supposed to use the Live CD as your operating system -.-
[19:41] <zazeem> jack_sparrow, in the xorg config can i just overwrite the resolutions that are there under screen with the ones my monitor recommends with the @ symbols like Modes		"1024x768@85hz" "800x600@85hz" "640x480@85hz" ?
[19:41] <jouke> My gnome keeps restarting at random intervals, is there a log file I can check for errors?
[19:41] <Jack_Sparrow> sky`sunset: but you need to preconfig the usb as casper..
[19:41] <sky`sunset> what is casper?
[19:41] <PeterPan_> Jack_Sparrow:  Scunizi  THANKS.. GREAT HELP
[19:41] <sawq> Hey. I was told to install Vista then XP then Ubuntu if I wanted to triple boot. And that is what I did. However, now that I attempt to boot up the machine, it gives the grub boot loader with only vista as a choice, and when I choose vista the computer says missing hal.dll cannot continue. and I backed up up the hard drive before I installed Ubuntu. I really need someone to help me here
[19:41] <_nix_> jouke: there are logs in /var/log/
[19:41] <Jack_Sparrow> zazeem: YES, BUT YOU WILL NEED TO SET THE REFRESH RATES UNDER THE MONITOR SECTION
[19:41] <Scunizi> ComPro, I've got an idea that you might not have tried yet.  Try running the reconfiguration script again from ctrl+alt+F2 then ctrl+alt+F7 to go back to the gui and restart.
[19:42] <Jack_Sparrow> PeterPan_: NP
[19:42] <sky`sunset> what is  casper?
[19:42] <jouke> _nix_: and what are the gnome logs?
[19:42] <Jack_Sparrow> sky`sunset: PLEASE GOOGLE UP THE TUTORIAL
[19:42] <_nix_> sky`sunset: casper.. is a codename
[19:42] <Jack_Sparrow> sorry for the caps
[19:42] <sky`sunset> i did
[19:42] <_nix_> jouke: dunno.. I don't run gnome.. sorry
[19:43] <ComPro> Scunzi - I've done that. I can load X just fine if I reconfigure it and set it to use VESA. If I run the reconfigure and choose FGLRX, I get the same problem.
[19:43] <Jock2> Does Ubuntu (Like Windows) get slower or something after installing and uninstalling several applications, such as VirtualBox, Wine etc?
[19:43] <LtEmerpoc> hey im configuring or whatever.. what do i do about this keyboard layout thingy
[19:43] <TheJedi2> can I use text based install from the normal live/install cd or do I need another cd?
[19:43] <w__> it works. Thanks.
[19:43] <PeterPan_> btw, is there something better that wine ? crossover .. i heard. is it?
[19:43] <jouke> heh >_<
[19:43] <zazeem> jack_sparrow, what would they appear as? there are 2 things under monitor section it has identifier "SAmtron" and option "DPMS" there are no rates what are the commands?
[19:43] <LtEmerpoc> so what do i type in?
[19:43] <Scunizi> ComPro, what I mean is to do the reset from within a direct TTY not a terminal from within the gui.
[19:43] <Flay> I'm doing an ls -l on a directory in xterm and the filenames are all colored green and the directory names are all blue on a green background. Does anyone know what this means?
[19:44] <arash_> peterpan_ do you mean visualisation?

[19:44] <_nix_> jouke: :-)
[19:44] <LtEmerpoc> ??
[19:44] <ComPro> Scunizi - I know. I've done that.
[19:44] <Adriaan> Hey, where can I find a package download page for ubuntu or debian?
[19:44] <Jack_Sparrow> zazeem: they will go just below dpms
[19:44] <atlef> Adriaan: getdeb
[19:44] <robdig> LtEmerpoc: what's your question?
[19:44] <Jack_Sparrow> zazeem: let me try and post an example
[19:44] <jcsteele> is anyone having problems with the forums?  I have tried to post a reply about 4 times now, and restarted firefox twice with no luck...usually just times out.  other pages are working fine.
[19:44] <_nix_> Adriaan: packages.ubuntu.com
[19:44] <zazeem> jack_sparrow, thanks :)
[19:44] <kane77> why can't I set password shorter than 6 chars?
[19:44] <LtEmerpoc> im configuring my xconf right now...
[19:45] <LtEmerpoc> and its asking me about my keyboard layout or something
[19:45] <Scunizi> ComPro, ok.. sorry.. I'm at a loss at this point.
[19:45] <krim> Jock2: I don't know about synaptic but I install everything in the terminal with aptitude and when you uninstall programs with aptitude later it removes all the other stuff that were installed alongside.
[19:45] <PeterPan_> arash_:  no
[19:45] <_nix_> kane77: I'd recommend against it but you can try sudo passwd <user>
[19:45] <ComPro> Scunizi - I opened my xorg.0.log and it says it was loading xorg.conf.failsafe
[19:45] <Adriaan> _nix_, atlef, thanks

[19:47] <ibanez> there we go
[19:47] <Scunizi> ComPro, have you checked out the following..it has a section on res fix for ATI  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[19:47] <ibanez> much better ;p
[19:47] <Jack_Sparrow> zazeem: you need to be SURE of those values
[19:48] <kane77> _nix_, I consider this to be a success to persuade my father to use linux ;)
[19:48] <zazeem> jack_sparrow, ooh ok, how can i find these i barely found basic specs for this old cube lol
[19:48] <Jack_Sparrow> zazeem: If you are running an old CRT, you REALLY need to be careful.. else leave it alone
[19:48] <_nix_> kane77: that would be nice.. long and hard passwords are no use windows anyway ;-)
[19:49] <Jack_Sparrow> zazeem: You can burn up an old crt in a flash...
[19:49] <zazeem> jack_sparrow, is thisa the only way to get rid of blurry text then?
[19:49] <Jack_Sparrow> zazeem: or just run vesa
[19:49] <zazeem> jack_sparrow, on windows yesterday it was crystal clear
[19:49] <_nix_> Jack_Sparrow: burn an old crt.. oh yeah.. try *that* in windows.. another place where linux wins
[19:51] <Jack_Sparrow> _nix_: same difference, you can set the video output in windows and fry a crt...

However, now that I attempt to boot up the machine, it gives the grub boot loader with only vista as a choice, and when I choose vista the computer says missing hal.dll cannot continue. and I backed up up the hard drive before I installed Ubuntu.
[19:56] <Jack_Sparrow> capiira: gnome-look
[19:56] <threeseas> anyone have a good link to setting up LAMP for local use and dev?
[19:56] <sawq> ive waited 15 minutes and still no response...
[19:56] <lanius> hola
[19:56] <capiira> Jack_Sparrow, nothing there!
[19:57] <LiMaO> threeseas: apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql
[19:57] <NewUserr> Jack_Sparrow: when i try to configure my printer it is not possible to read Printers database
[19:57] <LiMaO> threeseas: oh, and don't forget to install the php mysql module
[19:57] <Jack_Sparrow> sawq: You can try super grub reair cd
[19:58] <Jack_Sparrow> NewUserr: then you didnt get a clean install
[19:58] <Jack_Sparrow> if it cant find the cups database something isnt right
[19:58] <NewUserr> Jack_Sparrow: what should i do then?
[19:58] <crazy6> how odd, if I leave "splash" as a boot param, X doesn't start properly (black screen), but if I take i tout, it's fine!
[19:58] <threeseas> LiMaO: that simple? I was looking for a web link
[19:58] <AngelsOfDestiny> Is there ways to add simple applets like weather and RSS feeds and such the way Mac OSX does?
[19:58] <NET||abuse> My housemate is trying to image a drive, he's using dd,, but that is taking ages,, if he's used just 3.5 GB of a 40GB is that going to create a 40GB image file?
[19:59] <MasterShrek> !screenlets
[19:59] <ubotu> Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/
[19:59] <NET||abuse> !dd
[19:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> NewUserr: You can try reinstallng cups, or reinstall base system again, if one piece is missing, you may be missing other things as well
[19:59] <LiMaO> threeseas: don't need such a weblink. install those and you're ready to go. as i told you, search synaptic for php mysql module and install it too.
[19:59] <biatche1> Say I have one modem-router (192.168.0.1) which connects to the net via PPPOE (dynamic ip). I point DMZ to 192.168.0.254 (a router) and I setup NAT on the router. Well, any NAT would have to point to 192.168.0.1 since it won't know the public IP. Does traffic still get NAT'd in this case?
[19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> NET||abuse: depends on the command line he used
[19:59] <LiMaO> threeseas: then just configure stuff in /etc/apache2 - such as which port to listen to, where is your web server directory
[19:59] <Scunizi> AngelsOfDestiny, to add weather right mouse click the bar at the top of the screen and click add.  You'll see the appelate.
[20:00] <NewUserr> Jack_Sparrow: and how does that work?
[20:00] <Jack_Sparrow> NET||abuse:  >!backup
[20:00] <AngelsOfDestiny> scunizi ok thanks, but isnt there some kind of applet manager where i can add more?
[20:00] <Jack_Sparrow> NewUserr: as in full install.
[20:00] <NewUserr> ok
[20:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !cups
[20:00] <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
[20:01] <NewUserr> Jack_Sparrow: thnx
[20:01] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[20:01] <LtEmerpoc> can someone please tell me the command to uninstall my video card drivers
[20:02] <Scunizi> AngelsOfDestiny, rss can be handled by FF. other stuff in gnome.. try the previous link (that isn't currently working) www.screenlets.org..
[20:02] <chymera> I'm getting an fdisk exit status 8 on startup, any ideas what that means?
[20:02] <tjl11> anyone know canonical's email or Mark's
[20:02] <Jack_Sparrow> LtEmerpoc: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[20:02] <LtEmerpoc> already did that..
[20:02] <AngelsOfDestiny> scunizi thanks
[20:02] <WorkingOnWise> Jack_Sparrow: gparted only shows my sda hard drive.
[20:02] <LtEmerpoc> but then again i dont really know what im doing..
[20:02] <Tikiman49> I need a hand, when someone has a second
[20:02] <regius> hi i can't install X11::GUITest in perl, I get the error "/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK"
[20:02] <Jack_Sparrow> LtEmerpoc: so... it is what you set it to..  vesa is the generic driver
[20:03] <regius> it's a fresh ubuntu installation
[20:03] <Duxter> can someone guide me on how to make a localized ubuntu 7.10 live cd?
[20:03] <Jack_Sparrow> WorkingOnWise: you will need to know what the partition type was on that card/drive
[20:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask
[20:03] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[20:03] <D4rkB34n> what is better: 1. Install OpenOffice from the official download at openoffice.org or 2. Install from Synaptic?
[20:03] <LtEmerpoc> jack you know what the problem has beenn... its my resolution.,. i want to change it.. but i want it to be 1280x1024
[20:03] <regius> D4rkB34n, synaptic
[20:03] <MasterShrek> synaptic
[20:03] <LtEmerpoc> earlier yesterday it was at 1280x1024
[20:04] <tjl11> the reason I ask for their email is because of this toolkit(http://universitytoolkit.org/) which is based on Xubuntu, but no source availble.
[20:04] <D4rkB34n> Why Synaptic?
[20:04] <LtEmerpoc> and now it just wont go back
[20:04] <WorkingOnWise> Jack_Sparrow: it is fat. windows xp and vista can both see and rw the card.
[20:04] <Jack_Sparrow> LtEmerpoc: You need to setup your video card AND your monitor info using that command, try to run it with startx   and if it dosent work try another setting
[20:04] <chymera> i'm getting fdisk exit status 8 on startup and can't mount any of my drives except my filesystem.... any ideas how to fix that?
[20:04] <sasuke> how can i install a programm (like eclipse) without apt?
[20:04] <WorkingOnWise> Jack_Sparrow: on a different laptop
[20:04] <Tikiman> Right, so I'm trying to install linux for the first time. I've got the ubuntu 7.10 cd and have already unallocated 30gb on my OS hdd... but when I go to Start/Install Ubuntu.... it either freezes on an orange screen or goes to black after a few mins
[20:05] <sasuke> when i already downloaded it and dont find an install?
[20:05] <LtEmerpoc> startx is what?
[20:05] <NET||abuse> Jack_Sparrow, sorry, i didn't get a message from ubotu there..
[20:05] <Zta_> Anyone here use scolily?  And can tell me how to make the abc-plugin work?
[20:05] <Jack_Sparrow> WorkingOnWise: do a scandisk on it or also look into your fstab to make sure something isnt messed up there
[20:05] <stefano> Jack_Sparrow, what's scandisk?
[20:05] <Jack_Sparrow> stefano: windows prog..
[20:06] <LtEmerpoc> what is startx?
[20:06] <infinitycircuit> !tsclient
[20:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tsclient - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:06] <stefano> i like fsck, i like the name
[20:06] <stefano> :)
[20:06] <Jack_Sparrow> stefano: if he can see the drive with windows, want to check it with windows, since it is handy
[20:06] <stefano> yes that makes sense
[20:07] <Jack_Sparrow> LtEmerpoc: it is how you Start X  ie your gui... wm... etc

[20:11] <bruenig> Patchak, wait for the package manager to update it if it ever does
[20:11] <bruenig> it might not
[20:11] <bruenig> Patchak, or get the tarball from firefox
[20:11] <Patchak> bruenig, there is no other way to force it?? I would have to reinstall or there is an updater?
[20:12] <bruenig> Patchak, it is installed in /usr/lib, which requires root...

[20:20] <buzzsaw> how do i go about searching for what programs are avalable for apt-get
[20:20] <bruenig> ray_, if you take stuff off of the end of the partition usually you can do that
[20:20] <juano__> drez: sudo apt-get install unrar
[20:20] <bruenig> !info unrar | drez

[20:20] <bruenig> AngelsOfDestiny, whoever packaged that did a poor job
[20:20] <Chimpo> Is there any irc channels for programming in linux? (c++ in particular)

[20:21] <bruenig> AngelsOfDestiny, it should not be installing things into a home directory
[20:21] <btard> Hey. I was told to install Vista then XP then Ubuntu if I wanted to triple boot. And that is what I did. However, now that I attempt to boot up the machine, it gives the grub boot loader with only vista as a choice, and when I choose vista the computer says missing hal.dll cannot continue. and I backed up up the hard drive before I installed Ubuntu.
[20:21] <AngelsOfDestiny> bruenig ya, it didnt even work, thats why i uninstalled
[20:21] <D4rkB34n> soundray, nothing happens it only show the startup splash screen
[20:21] <drez> requinb4: i want to unrar
[20:21] <AngelsOfDestiny> bruenig do you know if this would work for gutsy   http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository?t=anon
[20:21] <RequinB4> !unrar | drez
[20:21] <ubotu> drez: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[20:22] <soundray> D4rkB34n: can you open other OOo programs, e.g. oowriter?
[20:22] <musashi> I have set up RAID 1 (using nvidia onboard controller) and have installed the gutsy. However, i can't set the raid array to boot (there is an option but it's grayed out) and the system won't boot. any suggestions?
[20:22] <bruenig> AngelsOfDestiny, I don't know, I wouldn't deal with third party debs myself
[20:22] <davenull> chymera: status 8 means that one of your drives didnt report itself, fsck will quit in that mode till you fix the drives
[20:22] <D4rkB34n> soundray, yes, i can open calc and writer
[20:22] <AngelsOfDestiny> bruenig for what reason?
[20:22] <MillerLite> why is my wifi card coming up as eth1? i have a dell latitude d420, and my wifi card wont work, can anyone hellp?
[20:22] <bruenig> AngelsOfDestiny, dangerous
[20:23] <Tidus> musashi, nvidia's controllers are wha'ts called fake-raid controllers.
[20:23] <chymera> yes davenull, that was my question, how can i fix it?
[20:23] <Tidus> they are hardware, but they need the windows driver to boot it
[20:23] <chymera> i got this after a system lockup
[20:23] <dstadulis> I am trying to repartition my drive that I have ubuntu installed on, when I boot up the gparted livecd and try to resize the partition it says that the drive is in use but I haven't mounted it.   Who knows why e2fsck spits back that it's occupied

[20:23] <bruenig> MillerLite, it doesn't matter that it is eth1
[20:23] <noerknhar> hi :D
[20:23] <AngelsOfDestiny> bruenig as in how?
[20:23] <btard> Hey. I was told to install Vista then XP then Ubuntu if I wanted to triple boot. And that is what I did. However, now that I attempt to boot up the machine, it gives the grub boot loader with only vista as a choice, and when I choose vista the computer says missing hal.dll cannot continue. and I backed up up the hard drive before I installed Ubuntu.

[20:24] <rsk> ZEA: rtorrent
[20:24] <atlef> ZEA: deluge
[20:24] <musashi> Tidus, or explain why it's not working?
[20:24] <soundray> D4rkB34n: try this: quit all OOo programs, open a terminal and run 'ooimpress' from there. See if it logs any errors in the terminal.
[20:24] <AngelsOfDestiny> bruenig oh...now you got me scared,lol
[20:24] <Tidus> MillerLite, Dell inspiron 5100
[20:24] <bruenig> deluge is very unstable
[20:24] <ZEA> ubotu: I know. just doing a sort of survey :)
[20:24] <RequinB4> ZEA: at this point its all about your preferred UI
[20:24] <davenull> chymera: check your  drive connects and get back to me
[20:24] <MillerLite> Tidus, does your wifi card work?
[20:24] <Tidus> musashi, is ubuntu's setup seeing the array?
[20:24] <Ashfire908> every time i tell it to do it on /dev/sdb1, it fails with error code "1"
[20:24] <Tidus> MillerLite, yes it does
[20:24] <AngelsOfDestiny> bruenig should i scan my box?
[20:24] <juano__> Ashfire908: pastebin :  sudo fdisk -l  , and your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:24] <RequinB4> ZEA - ubotu is a program
[20:24] <bruenig> AngelsOfDestiny, no, it will either happen during install or not at all
[20:24] <MillerLite> how did u get it to work?
[20:24] <RequinB4> !ubotu | ZEA
[20:24] <ubotu> ZEA: 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
[20:25] <btard> I'm starting to think people are just ignoring me, cause I have been trying to get the irc working for an hour now
[20:25] <AngelsOfDestiny> bruenig oh
[20:25] <musashi> Tidus, during install it sees sda and sdb but no mention of raid - should there be?
[20:25] <ZEA> lol :x
[20:25] <MillerLite> bruenig, can u help me please?
[20:25] <Tidus> musashi, a true raid controller would only be showing sda ...
[20:25] <Ashfire908> juano__, results might be intresting... i'm on a live cd (but on the same comp
[20:25] <arash_> btard, the irony?
[20:25] <btard> yeah.............
[20:25] <bruenig> AngelsOfDestiny, if you get through a deb and your system isn't hosed, then you have nothing to worry about, but debs come with preinstallation and post installation scripts that can run arbitrary code, so it could easily rm -rf /* if it wanted too
[20:25] <dstadulis> I am trying to repartition my drive that I have ubuntu installed on, when I boot up the gparted livecd and try to resize the partition it says that the drive is in use but I haven't mounted it.   Who knows why e2fsck spits back that it's occupied
[20:25] <chymera> davenull haow do i check that?
[20:25] <bruenig> AngelsOfDestiny, if you stick with official stuff though, you don't have to worry about that
[20:25] <arash_> btard , how come it isnt working when u are writing here?
[20:25] <MillerLite> why is my wifi card coming up as eth1? i have a dell latitude d420, and my wifi card wont work, can anyone hellp?
[20:25] <chymera> *how
[20:26] <Tidus> MillerLite, what chipset is your ethernet card?
[20:26] <bruenig> MillerLite, get your mind passed it being named eth1, the naming scheme doesn't matter
[20:26] <btard> pardon?
[20:26] <AngelsOfDestiny> bruenig ya true, but avant is only 3rd party
[20:26] <btard> I'm on a second comp
[20:26] <RequinB4> MillerLite - it should work as eth1
[20:26] <Tidus> broadcom 43xx or 44xx ?
[20:26] <soundray> btard: you're not saying what you want. People aren't ignoring you, it's just hard to answer that type of question.
[20:26] <RequinB4> thats no the gproblem if it doesn't work
[20:26] <davenull> chymera: open the computer, look for loose plugs, happens more than i care to think about
[20:26] <btard> arash_: second computer
[20:26] <musashi> Tidus, short of buying a true raid controller, is there a simple way to make this work? i just want a mirror for backup
[20:26] <juano__> Ashfire908: is your root partition mounted ?
[20:26] <Tidus> musashi, software raid
[20:26] <arash_> btard , ok, what client isnt working?
[20:26] <MillerLite> how do i find out chipseT?
[20:26] <btard> wait a secon.
[20:26] <RequinB4> btard - use Xchat not pidgin
[20:26] <Tidus> MillerLite, go to a terminal, type sudo lspci
[20:26] <MillerLite> its a dell laititude d420,
[20:26] <bruenig> AngelsOfDestiny, I would build it from source if I had to, a package is included on the distro I use so I don't have to worry about that
[20:27] <chymera> davenull lol no, it's not the case....
[20:27] <raving> I've got a fresh alternate CD install of gutsy and am unable to get apt to authenticate packages from archive.canonical.com. Does anybody know where I can acquire a key file for that repository?
[20:27] <musashi> Tidus, meaning i should scrap the nvidia raid, set up normally and then install software raid? or would i still keep the nvidia setup set up?
[20:27] <MillerLite> its a wlan-minipci?
[20:27] <AngelsOfDestiny> bruenig oh.
[20:27] <Ashfire908> juano__, is now...
[20:27] <davenull> chymera:  try running fsck
[20:28] <btard> What do I need to change in order to get all 3 of the working correctly. I am willing t try anything as my disk is backed up as an image completely.
[20:28] <Tidus> musashi, scrap the nvraid stuff.  during setup you can set up software raid fairly quick and painless
[20:28] <ComPro> what would cause fglrx to stop working? last night after a reboot, it wouldn't load X properly, so today, i reformatted and started from scratch, and fglrx still will not load X properly. it falls back to vesa.
[20:28] <Tidus> MillerLite, lspci will tell you the chipset of the card
[20:28] <btard> and I am so sorry, im exhausted and I didnt even notice i forgot to finish the question
[20:28] <juano__> Ashfire908: which is your root partiion, /dev/hd?

[20:28] <MillerLite> sorry for scrolling
[20:28] <ComPro> what would cause fglrx to stop working? last night after a reboot, it wouldn't load X properly, so today, i reformatted and started from scratch, and fglrx still will not load X properly. it falls back to vesa.
[20:28] <Tidus> MillerLite, you'll need ndiswrapper and the windows drivers to make that one work
[20:28] <arash_> btard:  still I want to know what client you are using, maybe you should cahnge client
[20:28] <bruenig> MillerLite, broadcom
[20:29] <Tidus> MillerLite, my wlan card is based on the BCM4300
[20:29] <musashi> Tidus, shoot. i was hoping the nvidia stuff would be simple and cool - just doing it in the background. okay, are you saying that while installing gutsy i can also set up software raid? i've never seen an option for that.
[20:29] <chymera> davenull, here
[20:29] <chymera> http://pastebin.com/m7108a79b
[20:29] <Tidus> musashi, it's on the alternate cd
[20:29] <musashi> ah,
[20:29] <MillerLite> Tidus, is mine a broacom?
[20:29] <Tidus> MillerLite, yes it is
[20:29] <ray_> gparted wont let me resize my partiton for linux, because it is mounted any other options?
[20:29] <soundray> btard: that dll thing is a Windows problem. Ask in a Windows channel. To get a grub boot entry for XP, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add a boot entry for it. There is a sample for Windows at the top of the file.
[20:29] <Tidus> MillerLite, 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01)
[20:29] <chymera> ray_ unmnount it
[20:30] <btard> arash_: what do you mean client
[20:30] <davenull> chymera: that sucks
[20:30] <MillerLite> so i should download the xp drivers for it, and run it with wine and it will work?
[20:30] <nirgle> this worked a couple weeks ago for me and suddenly now is giving me this error message on a fresh install:
[20:30] <nirgle> nirgle@ubuntu:~/icarus$ sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
[20:30] <nirgle> Reading package lists... Done
[20:30] <nirgle> Building dependency tree
[20:30] <nirgle> Reading state information... Done
[20:30] <nirgle> E: Couldn't find package libncurses5-dev
[20:30] <Tidus> no, you'll download the xp drivers, and set it up thru ndiswrapper.
[20:30] <raph> hi, the ext3 fs on my external hd is partly broken. Some files i could simply copy to a backup partition, others stop copying with an error msg (something like "reading of file not possible"). Is there a way to get the corrupt data back?
[20:30] <AllNicksAreTaken> hi folks
[20:30] <musashi> Tidus, is that the only way or can i install normally and then add the raid stuff afterwards? seeing as how it's already installed and i don't have the alternate cd :)
[20:30] <ComPro> what would cause fglrx to stop working? last night after a reboot, it wouldn't load X properly, so today, i reformatted and started from scratch, and fglrx still will not load X properly. it falls back to vesa.
[20:30] <nirgle> did the package change names or?
[20:30] <Tidus> it's under system -> Administration -> Windows wireless drivers
[20:30] <ray_> that partition is what i am running right now
[20:30] <btard> soundray: ok i'll try that
[20:30] <chymera> davenull, the drives are still there... any ideas?
[20:30] <ray_> if i were to use the live cd would that work?
[20:30] <davenull> chymera: have anything important on them?
[20:31] <chymera> ray_yes
[20:31] <Tidus> musashi, you won't be able to add it later because it requires certain type of partitions...
[20:31] <arash_> btard: what program do you use for irc? ,eh, one second. what'r ur problem? isn't it that irc isn't working for you?
[20:31] <btard> oh, XChat
[20:31] <MillerLite> Tidus:  so i should download the xp drivers for it, and run it with wine and it will work?
[20:31] <btard> it isn't the irc that is the problem
[20:31] <btard> tho
[20:31] <Tidus> MillerLite, no, you wont use wine
[20:31] <chymera> davenull of course, not anything but everything, their intact, as far as i know its the table that got fucked up
[20:31] <btard> I'm fine. Soundray helped me.
[20:31] <btard> Thanks tho
[20:31] <arash_> btard: then dont say that that is your problem. It just causes confusion
[20:32] <MillerLite> what should i use?
[20:32] <Tidus> MillerLite, you'll use the windows wireless drivers tool that i pointed to you.  system -> Administration -> windows wireless drivers
[20:32] <soundray> btard: make sure you add any new entry after the line that begins ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC...
[20:32] <chymera> davenull, i started discussing this case on the forums but somewhy my partner died out, ahve a look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=622404
[20:32] <soundray> *begins with
[20:32] <musashi> Tidus, okay. guess i'll be downloading the alternate cd. one last question, is the software raid an okay way to go? i mean is it relatively stable and problem free running in the background or will i need to "mess" with it a lot?
[20:33] <Tidus> musashi, i've got a headless server with 3 disks in software raid5... been stable for a year now
[20:33] <AllNicksAreTaken> can anyone help me getting my wireless connection to work? I was using Ubuntu/Xubuntu 7.04 before and my wireless connection worked fine. After a clean install of Ubuntu 7.10 I am unable to connect to my network
[20:33] <Tidus> musashi, software raid is done in the background by the linux kernel... so if the kernel's relatively stable... then so will your raid :)
[20:34] <Tidus> AllNicksAreTaken, what chipset is your wireless card?
[20:34] <chymera> any ideas davenull ?
[20:34] <flithm> hey everyone... anyone know what package the opengl man pages are in?
[20:34] <AllNicksAreTaken> good question. I forgot what chipset it had. Is there a way to find out?
[20:34] <ibanez> lol
[20:34] <Ashfire908> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45833/
[20:34] <Tidus> AllNicksAreTaken, lspci
[20:34] <soundray> D4rkB34n: how are you getting on?
[20:34] <davenull> chymera: this could be a bad day for you, fsck -v, pastebin me the output
[20:34] <Ashfire908> juano__, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45833/
[20:35] <musashi> Tidus, cool. thanks for the help. i guess the raid controller on my edubuntu server at work is a fancy hardware controller. should have known that a $200 mobo wouldn't have the same
[20:35] <Tidus> musashi, most sata raid chipsets aren't true raid.
[20:35] <MillerLite> Tidus: so i should download the broadcom Corp BCM94311MCG  , then run the windows wifi installer?
[20:35] <Tidus> yes
[20:35] <killroy_2> question: I want to buy either a USB or PCMCIA NIC for my lappy.  I am looking for recommendations for a product that is known to work well with gutsy
[20:35] <chymera> same thing davenull, blabla bad format on the same lines
[20:35] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> Can someone help me with permissions in ubuntu?
[20:35] <Tidus> killroy_2, the netgear FA120 usb wired ethernet works fine
[20:36] <soundray> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: you need to say what the problem is.
[20:36] <AllNicksAreTaken> Tidus: oh yeah, it's an USB wifi stick. lsusb gives me: id 0b05:1706
[20:36] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> Sure
[20:36] <killroy_2> wireless
[20:36] <killroy_2> Tidus: sorry, I meant to state that I need wireless
[20:36] <soundray> Tidus: what's "true raid"?
[20:36] <Tidus> killroy_2, oh.  my linksys WPC54GS works fine with ndiswrapper
[20:36] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> I want to edit some files on my ipod but it says I dont have the permission to do so
[20:36] <davenull> chymera: well, never used it, but fsck -p is automatic repair, might kill the part table, might fix it. my best guess
[20:36] <chymera> the fact davenull, that is i changed some things in my fstab, uncommented the lines of the partitions and deleted the UDII tags or what their called, so i won't get the error at startup.... but it still didn't fix my mount problem
[20:36] <Tidus> it's pcmcia
[20:36] <musashi> Tidus, i suppose you would need to buy a fancy controller. i'll go software and see what happens
[20:36] <Tidus> AllNicksAreTaken, i guess you'd have to use ndiswrapper with the windows drivers for it
[20:36] <flithm> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: permissions isn't an ubuntu thing... try #linuxhelp maybe or google "unix permissions"
[20:36] <D4rkB34n> soundray, bad.... nothing happen
[20:37] <soundray> MeTrOiD014|Kevin: open the editor with sudo or gksudo, e.g. 'gksudo gedit'
[20:37] <juano__> Ashfire908: hd0,4 for your linux partition
[20:37] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> kk
[20:37] <davenull> Tidus: what kind of card, and what ubuntu version?
[20:37] <juano__> Ashfire908: and for ntfs partition if its xp hd0,1
[20:37] <Tidus> davenull, my wireless card?
[20:37] <chymera> davenull, what happens if i kill the partition table?
[20:37] <chymera> do i loose the data?
[20:37] <MeTrOiD014|Kevin> soundray: kk
[20:37] <Ashfire908> juano__, i know the it's incorrect
[20:37] <chymera> or just the partitioning?
[20:37] <Ashfire908> *its
[20:37] <Tidus> davenull, Linksys WPC54GS (Wireless-G with SpeedBooster), ubuntu gutsy
[20:38] <davenull> chymera: lol, total annihilation
[20:38] <soundray> D4rkB34n: something may be wrong with your user configuration. Try 'mv ~/.openoffice.org2 ~/oooconfig-backup' and try again. This will start over with a new config.
[20:38] <juano__> Ashfire908: sda5 is your / partition right ?
[20:38] <killroy_2> Tidus: see, now, my lappy has an Intel PRO wireless 2100 but I'm getting a firmware issue, so I have a WPC54G ver 4.0 PCMCIA but I can't get the system to recognize it.  I've installed drivers with ndiswrapper and ran the modprobe, but I never get a device.  Of course, I haven't turned off the internal nic.  What might I be doing wrong?  Can you recommend a link to assist with setup?
[20:38] <AllNicksAreTaken> Tidus: the default drivers on Ubuntu 7.04 worked fine though. Are there any known wlan0 problems with Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[20:38] <juano__> Ashfire908: that would be hd0,4 in grub
[20:38] <davenull> Tidus: is it a broadcom chipset, lspci
[20:38] <Tidus> killroy_2, that should be TI ACX chipset
[20:38] <Tidus> which has linux drivers
[20:38] <gi> ciao a tutti
[20:38] <Tidus> AllNicksAreTaken, i haven't had issues
[20:38] <juano__> Ashfire908: are you able to boot into ubuntu or ntfs/windows ?
[20:38] <AllNicksAreTaken> hmm
[20:38] <MillerLite> Tidus: so i should download the broadcom Corp BCM94311MCG  , then run the windows wifi installer?
[20:38] <Tidus> MillerLite, yes
[20:39] <Tidus> killroy_2, my other pcmcia wlan card is a WPC54G version 4
[20:39] <MillerLite> Tidus: where do i find driver?
[20:39] <Tidus> and this one's a WPC54GS v2
[20:39] <tapas> i'm installing ubuntu here on a friends computer.. ii upgraded from the gutsy beta cd i had to current gutsy
[20:39] <tapas> and installed the nvidia driver
[20:39] <Tidus> MillerLite, i'd say try broadcom's website
[20:39] <AllNicksAreTaken> is it possible that IPv6 might be giving issues?
[20:39] <Tidus> AllNicksAreTaken, not entirely sure
[20:39] <tapas> and now 3d acceleration works.. yay..
[20:40] <tapas> but resolution is gone down to 640 x 480
[20:40] <tapas> :(
[20:40] <foug> When I order something from the Ubuntu, where does it ship from? And it can ship to the states, correct?
[20:40] <killroy_2> Tidus: are you saying that I shouldn't need to ndiswrapper then with the WPC54G v4.0 PCMCIA?  And if not, how do I get it to be recognized in gutsy?  I've got the power light lit, so clearly it's powered up, but when I ifconfig I only see eth0 and eth1 (my wired and internal wireless) and no additiona devices...
[20:40] <soundray> AllNicksAreTaken: I've got trouble with wifi on 7.10, too. Disabling ipv6 improved it a bit.
[20:40] <tapas> also i cannot find te ndiswrapper module for the 2.6.22-14-generic kernel
[20:40] <tapas> it should be installed, but cannot be found...
[20:40] <AllNicksAreTaken> soundray: great you just got my hopes up. I'll be checking it out right now
[20:41] <soundray> !ipv6 | AllNicksAreTaken
[20:41] <ubotu> AllNicksAreTaken: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[20:41] <D4rkB34n> soundray, nothing again, i'll install from the original download, first i'll remove from synaptic
[20:41] <Tidus> killroy_2, yeah, you shouldn't need ndiswrapper.  it should be a Texas Instruments ACX111 chipset which is supported by default in gutsy
[20:41] <foug> When I order something from the Ubuntu, where does it ship from? And it can ship to the states, correct?
[20:41] <soundray> AllNicksAreTaken: I still get the occasional dropped connection, though.
[20:41] <AllNicksAreTaken> thanks. I was just searching on google
[20:41] <soundray> D4rkB34n: hold on
[20:42] <D4rkB34n> soundray, i'm downloading ooo_2.3.0_linuxintel_install_deb.tar.gz
[20:42] <AllNicksAreTaken> soundray: do you happen to have a Linksys WRT54G ?
[20:42] <davenull> Tidus: ive got a few different chipset cards, never needed to go to ndiswrapper
[20:42] <MillerLite> tidus, broadcom doesnt make a  BCM94311MCG
[20:42] <soundray> AllNicksAreTaken: I do indeed
[20:42] <juano__> Ashfire908: something like this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45836/
[20:42] <killroy_2> Tidus: ok, then shouldn't I see the device in my network device list?
[20:42] <YoungBalls> what up with it
[20:42] <D4rkB34n> soulrider, i tryed to reinstall from synaptic, but crashes
[20:43] <dstadulis> I am trying to repartition my drive that I have ubuntu installed on, when I boot up the gparted livecd and try to resize the partition it says that the drive is in use but I haven't mounted it.   Who knows why e2fsck spits back that it's occupied
[20:43] <Tidus> killroy_2, lspci it and see what chipset it's using
[20:43] <soundray> D4rkB34n: if you suspect your installation, the first thing you should try is "sudo apt-get --reinstall install openoffice.org-impress"
[20:43] <killroy_2> tidus ok, will do
[20:43] <D4rkB34n> soundray, yap.... thanks
[20:43] <Ashfire908> juano__, you don't understand do you. i'm trying to install grub on a jump drive via the grub reinstall in the recovery mode on the alternate cd.
[20:43] <killroy_2> Tidus: but assuming it is the TI chipset, is there anything I need to do to get the device initiated?
[20:43] <SmileyChris> so if I'm installing an app just for my own user, where's the normal place to keep it?
[20:44] <AllNicksAreTaken> soundray: I've been searching around on the internet and found out a lot of people have issues with it. It's some sort of firmware problem. I decided to put the DD-WRT (micro) firmware on it and it's been working fine since.
[20:44] <davenull> SmileyChris: usr/bin
[20:44] <Tidus> google is your friend on that one. i'm not entirely sure on the steps to fix tiacx
[20:44] <Ryan_was_here> hey, can anyone direct me to some gkrellm skins? My theme is black/green and it just doesn't wok. I have checked gnome-look.org and art.gnome.org and google, but can't seem to find any.
[20:44] <AllNicksAreTaken> Had to power cycle the router everyday before
[20:44] <juano__> Ashfire908: ok, should of told me first :P
[20:44] <juano__> Ashfire908: thought you were trying to install grub back on mbr
[20:44] <Ashfire908> juano__, lol no
[20:44] <soundray> AllNicksAreTaken: I've got OpenWrt firmware on it, but it's a bit outdated. I'll try upgrading that -- thanks for the tip!
[20:44] <juano__> Ashfire908: and that you couldn't boot
[20:44] <chymera> davenull, still here?=
[20:45] <davenull> chymera: yup
[20:45] <Jock2> Newest version of Wine is 0.9.49 but I have version 0.9.46. However, when I right-click my Wine installation in Synaptic Package Manager the "Mark for upgrade" is greyed out. Does that mean I can't upgrade?
[20:45] <PeterPan_>  can any one recomend a good dictionary to install ?
[20:45] <AllNicksAreTaken> soundray: you're welcome. You better do some good reading about DD-WRT first. Only DD-WRT micro works on it unfortunately (at least, on my WRT54G v5.1)
[20:45] <chymera> davenull i reverted to my commented fstab file
[20:45] <chymera> heres the output

[20:46] <ubotu> chymera: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[20:46] <soundray> AllNicksAreTaken: I have an older one with more memory, so it'll be fine. I'll get a newer version of OpenWrt -- don't feel like switching to DD quite yet.

[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Jock2: It means it has not been brought back.. If you MUST have the latest you need to get it outside
[20:47] <soundray> Jock2: Ubuntu packages are well tested with the distribution, but they aren't always the latest. You can install a more recent version by adding the winehq repository for debian-based distributions to your sources.list

[20:48] <Ashfire908> juano__, yes
[20:48] <soundray> joshua__: what's the problem?
[20:48] <SmileyChris> davenull: thought there might be some sort of folder which is the norm to put it in
[20:48] <Ashfire908> juano__, updated menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45839/
[20:49] <joshua__> soundray,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45837/
[20:49] <Jock2> Jack_Sparrow and soundray: Thanks for explaining!
[20:49] <soundray> joshua__: please run 'visudo' and paste the contents of the file
[20:49] <davenull> SmileyChris: thats what i do, dont know if thats the best way, but if you go to nautilus and in view select view hidden, lots of apps are installed there
[20:49] <juano__> Ashfire908: sudo grub-install /dev/sdb
[20:49] <Tupsik> if I upgrade from 7.04 directly, how much MB will be downloaded?
[20:49] <juano__> Ashfire908: tried that ?
[20:49] <SmileyChris> AngelsOfDestiny: so run avant-window-navigator from terminal and see what the error is - probably you're not using a compositing manager
[20:50] <juano__> Ashfire908: that give you error code 1 ?
[20:50] <soundray> Tupsik: that depends on how many and which packages you have installed.
[20:50] <AngelsOfDestiny> smileychris i was under the impression it works with compiz
[20:50] <wickedsmaat> !HELLO -- I'm using "Synaptic Package Manager", trying to uninstall things that "couldnt" be taken out with "Add/Remove Programs" app. Some things I'm trying to take out say they'll also uninstall the "Ubuntu-Desktop". Is this going to crash my system, or is this nothing to worry about???
[20:50] <joshua__> soundray,  I get the same error
[20:50] <SmileyChris> AngelsOfDestiny: it should
[20:50] <Joe90> Anybody with ltsp experience 7.10?
[20:50] <Tupsik> soundray: I have default installation from CD
[20:50] <sauvin> joshua__, pastebin your /etc/sudoers file
[20:50] <Ashfire908> juano__, let me try
[20:50] <joshua__> sauvin, I cant get access to it
[20:50] <bluefox83> wickedsmaat, ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, it wont hurt anything to remove it
[20:51] <AngelsOfDestiny> smileychris ya there ya go it works in terminal and not wit the icon for some reasob
[20:51] <soundray> Tupsik: it'll be something between 300 and 500 MB then, I reckon
[20:51] <crazy6> ok, so, when I open a torrent via firefox, there isn't an option to open it with ktorrent, and I always have ot type in /usr/bin/ktorrent .. is tihs fixable?
[20:51] <SmileyChris> AngelsOfDestiny: weird
[20:51] <crashoverride> apparently my webcam isnt supported
[20:51] <rem_> ..
[20:51] <crashoverride> so i cant really do anything?
[20:51] <ibanez> hey you guys know that command like gxgears
[20:51] <wickedsmaat> BLUEFOX83 ==> So, various things can "Remove" it and I'm not going to loose my system???
[20:51] <elementz> hi everybody
[20:51] <ibanez> that shows you frames per second ?
[20:51] <danny3793_> How can i setup MythTV to recognize my happauge card?
[20:51] <sauvin> joshua__, you may have to boot a livecd then, in order to mount the partition that file is on.
[20:51] <snama> glxgears
[20:51] <ibanez> glxgears
[20:51] <juano__> ibanez: yes
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> crashoverride: they are not expensive, sell yours off
[20:52] <ibanez> thanks :D
[20:52] <AngelsOfDestiny> smileychris ya
[20:52] <soundray> joshua__: try booting in recovery mode then (grub boot option) and fix it with 'nano /etc/sudoers'
[20:52] <Ashfire908> juano__, ok got a chroot set up. what command?
[20:52] <crashoverride> lol, mine was $1
[20:52] <elementz> accidentally deleted a few files on my desktop, is there a way to easily recover them from the console?
[20:52] <juano__> Ashfire908: sudo grub-install /dev/sdb
[20:52] <soundray> elementz: no
[20:52] <joshua__>  sauvin  soundray , is there a way I can login into x as root?
[20:52] <dstadulis> I am trying to repartition my drive that I have ubuntu installed on, when I boot up the gparted livecd and try to resize the partition it says that the drive is in use but I haven't mounted it.   Who knows why e2fsck spits back that it's occupied
[20:52] <crashoverride> well thanks mucho
[20:52] <Jack_Sparrow> elementz: look in ./Trash
[20:53] <sauvin> in ubuntu? I don't think so, not without heroic surgery.
[20:53] <wickedsmaat> BLUEFOX83 ==> So, various things can "Remove" it and I'm not going to loose my system???
[20:53] <juano__> joshua__: if the root account is enabled yes, username root and root pass
[20:53] <joshua__>  sauvin  soundray , Im not quite sure how to fix the sudoers file
[20:53] <bluefox83> wickedsmaat, correct
[20:53] <Ashfire908> juano__, i'm already root :). i get an error which i assume is caused by the device map
[20:53] <wickedsmaat> BLUEFOX83 ==> great, thanks!
[20:53] <sauvin> joshua__, I'd do it from a livecd.
[20:53] <soundray> joshua__: no, but if you follow sauvin's live CD suggestion, you can fix it from a graphical environment
[20:53] <chazco> Hi... anyone able to help with: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608760 ?
[20:53] <IndyGunFreak> dstadulis: thats an odd problem.. i've used partedmagic a lot, never had that issue.
[20:53] <snama> you must allow root to login through gdm in login window settings
[20:53] <windego40> hello all
[20:54] <snama> but there its called system administrator
[20:54] <dstadulis> IndyGunFreak: Thanks I'll try that out
[20:54] <joshua__>  sauvin  soundray , I see just copy the livecd sudoers file into the old one?
[20:54] <juano__> Ashfire908: post the error
[20:54] <soundray> joshua__: if you can get internet access from the live system, you can pastebin your sudoers and ask for help here.
[20:54] <windego40> anyone here know how to mount a usb scandisk?
[20:54] <IndyGunFreak> dstadulis: parted magic/gparted are basically the same thing.
[20:54] <soundray> joshua__: no
[20:55]  * sauvin mounts his ubuntu partition and has a look
[20:55] <PeterPan_>  can any one recomend a good dictionary to install ?
[20:55] <joshua__>  sauvin  soundray , Ok I will boot the livecd and come back
[20:55] <IndyGunFreak> dstadulis: why don't you just use the installer to partition your drive?
[20:55] <soundray> juano__: please don't ever recommend enabling root, and especially running X as root.
[20:55] <juano__> soundray: i didnt recommend, i answered his question
[20:56] <milka> how can i update amsn ?
[20:56] <Ashfire908> juano__, let be try somethingnfirst
[20:56] <milka> plz
[20:56] <soundray> juano__: that boils down to the same thing.
[20:56] <juano__> soundray: is it possible ? yes i said
[20:56] <sauvin> wow, the ubuntu sudoers file is simple enough: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
[20:56] <juano__> soundray: he didnt ask should i ? he asked if it was possible
[20:56] <AngelsOfDestiny> smileychris does awn start at bootup?
[20:56] <dstadulis> IndyGunFreak: are you talking about the ubuntu install disk?
[20:56] <juano__> Ashfire908: ok
[20:56] <IndyGunFreak> dstadulis: yes.
[20:56] <Jack_Sparrow> soundray: juano__ has been told he is on thin ice with that
[20:56] <soundray> juano__: I was in a conversation with him, and you barged in with advice that would have been very bad if he had followed it.
[20:57] <IndyGunFreak> dstadulis: as you're going through the install process, it will allow you to partition the drive before installing
[20:57] <joshua__>  sauvin  soundray , juano__  I did ask I figured that I could acceszs the /etc/sudoers file that way
[20:57] <SmileyChris> AngelsOfDestiny: nope
[20:57] <sauvin> joshua__, in what way?
[20:57] <Ashfire908> juano__, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45840/
[20:57] <IndyGunFreak> milka: is the current version in the repositories?
[20:57] <dstadulis> IndyGunFreak: I'm running ubuntu studio
[20:57] <milka> hoi don't know
[20:57] <juano__> soundray: i didnt barge in in anything dude, nice attitude by the way
[20:57] <IndyGunFreak> dstadulis: oh ok, sorry, can't help you.
[20:57] <milka> but how can i uopdate
[20:57] <sky`sunset> can some one tell me how to save changes to my usb while i am using live ubuntu7.10 cd?
[20:57] <dstadulis> IndyGunFreak: and it doesn't have a livecd
[20:58] <IndyGunFreak> dstadulis: oh ok.
[20:58] <milka> sudo apt-get update amsn ???
[20:58] <SmileyChris> AngelsOfDestiny: system > preferences > sessions, put it in startup programs
[20:58] <juano__> soundray: just helpin out didnt mean to hurt your feelings sheesh
[20:58] <joshua__>  sauvin  soundray , juano__  Well I can't get access to the sudoers file without root permission
[20:58] <ActySofts> is there an official torrent containing an ubuntu i386 iso?
[20:58] <AllNicksAreTaken> I'm considering to switch back to 7.04
[20:58] <IndyGunFreak> milka: i doubt it.
[20:58] <soundray> juano__: I take it very badly when people spoil my good advice with bad.
[20:58] <sauvin> joshua__, are you in the livecd yet?
[20:58] <AngelsOfDestiny> smileychris thanks
[20:58] <sky`sunset> how can i save changes to my usb while i am using ubuntu 7.10 live cd?
[20:58] <Jack_Sparrow> milka: If synaptic does not have it then you need to do it manually..  but please backup everything if you are new to linux
[20:58] <soundray> joshua__: use gksudo gedit
[20:58] <IndyGunFreak> milka: if the updated version isn't int he repositories, then running the update command, won't do anything
[20:58] <dstadulis> IndyGunFreak: I just downloaded the last versions of both gparted and partedmagic, going to give new version of gparted one last chance and then try partedmagic thanks for you hel[
[20:58] <joshua__>  sauvin  soundray , juano__  In other words booting as root wqould allow me to pastebin the contents
[20:58] <Jack_Sparrow> sky`sunset: I linked a line by line tutorial earlier..
[20:58] <IndyGunFreak> dstadulis: np, hope you get it worked out.
[20:59] <milka> ok .. thx Indy --
[20:59] <joshua__>  sauvin  no I am still looking for the cd
[20:59] <sky`sunset> it didnt work
[20:59] <sauvin> joshua__, ubuntu doesn't ship with the root account formally enabled.
[20:59] <milka> ;-)
[20:59] <sky`sunset> not f6
[20:59] <sky`sunset> i tried
[20:59] <juano__> soundray: what do you know about advice beeing good or bad ? plus i didnt give anyone bad advice on anything dude, i just told him it was posible i didnt say it was right or wrong ok ? if he would of asked to do it i would tell him to !sudo
[20:59] <sky`sunset> i mean i didnt want to install the ubuntu into my usb
[20:59] <D4rkB34n> soundray, nothing happens
[20:59] <joshua__> sauvin i see
[20:59] <kriel> is this user error, or did i forget to install something?   kriel@rea:~/code$ gcc hello.cpp
[20:59] <Jack_Sparrow> sky`sunset: did you setup your usb stick?
[20:59] <kriel> gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
[20:59] <sky`sunset> i just use my usb to save the changes
[20:59] <danny3793_> is there a way to get my happauge card to work so i can record TV/Gaming?
[20:59] <sky`sunset> no
[20:59] <mandrill> cam I reinstall Ubuntu over VNC?
[20:59] <ActySofts> Is there an official torrent for the Ubuntu i386 ISO?
[20:59] <soundray> juano__: I appreciate you have your own opinion about this, and I will refrain from continuing this discussion.
[20:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Then you didnt bother reading ANYTHING
[20:59] <sky`sunset> i just want to boot from the cd
[21:00] <sky`sunset> and save the changes to my usb
[21:00] <sauvin> soundray, spoken like a true diplomat :D
[21:00] <IndyGunFreak> ActySofts: sure there are.... http://www.ubuntu.com has lists of servers w/ torrents
[21:00] <joshua__> soundray,  I get the same error when attempting gksudo edit
[21:00] <sky`sunset> i searched online already
[21:00] <hangthedj> how do i turn off the password protection for when i come back from suspend?
[21:00] <soundray> D4rkB34n: sorry, I don't have any other suggestions.
[21:00] <Jack_Sparrow> sky`sunset: Right, and you were given instructions which you ignore.. and come back again
[21:00] <juano__> soundray: same here.. i hate it when people think they know it all and start stomping on others
[21:00] <juano__> soundray: btw
[21:00] <soundray> joshua__: gksudo gedit is for when you're on a live system.
[21:00] <juano__> soundray: for no particular reason that is
[21:00] <sauvin> juano__, why don't you go get yourself another beer?
[21:01] <joshua__> soundray, ok
[21:01] <joshua__> be back
[21:01] <sauvin> soundray, do you know if the livecd will automatically mount his installed partition?
[21:01] <Joe90> Any ltsp folks out there?
[21:01] <juano__> sauvin: lol you too ?
[21:01] <juano__> sauvin: yea right..
[21:01] <kriel> is this user error, or did i forget to install something?   kriel@rea:~/code$ gcc hello.cpp
[21:01] <kriel> gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
[21:01] <ActySofts> IndyGunFreak: thanks! I found it in release notes
[21:01] <soundray> sauvin: I know that it won't. But I'm hoping he can ask again once he's on the live system.
[21:01] <Jack_Sparrow> sky`sunset: here is the how to do it   one, two three   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=9893

[21:07] <tonyyarusso> B-rabbit: your hotmail password
[21:07] <AutoMatriX> bruenig, :D
[21:07] <Jack_Sparrow> sky`sunset: No. not unless you add a second partition on the same usb
[21:07] <juano__> Ashfire908: missed it.. ok.. mm doesnt seem to be able to find a place to install on sdb
[21:07] <Raff7> hi ubunt-user

[21:08] <Ashfire908> juano__, that error refers to array 0, drive 0, partition 1.
[21:08] <sky`sunset> lol
[21:08] <sauvin> sky`sunset, I just tuned in (sort of) to what you're asing. What is your usb device, and what are you trying to do with it again, please?
[21:08] <sky`sunset> usb is kinston
[21:08] <Jack_Sparrow> sauvin: check the link about persistent on usb
[21:09] <Ashfire908> juano__, i moved this stuff from a server that i own
[21:09] <sauvin> Jack_Sparrow, that link scrolled off.
[21:09] <B-rabbit> tonyyarusso: i did that when i first opened evolution....it filled in all the configuration and stuff.....i also put in my hotmail password...it doesn't seem to work :(

[21:10] <juano__> Ashfire908: is it a flash memory key ?

[21:10] <chester_martins> can anybody play iunes at ubuntu??
[21:10] <chester_martins> i can with wine, but it's slow :S
[21:11] <Tupsik> one more question - is there a fast but feature-rich graphics viewer?
[21:11] <B-rabbit> does anyone know how to change the POP(protocol) password...can it be done?
[21:11] <sauvin> sky`sunset, Jack_Sparrow, as I understand it, what's being discussed here is reformatting a USB device to ext2, no?
[21:11] <Ashfire908> juano__, i want grub on the the flash drive, sdb
[21:11] <sky`sunset> right
[21:12] <juano__> Ashfire908: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/grub_intro/ that could be usefull
[21:12] <sky`sunset> then the windows can't understand the format anymore
[21:12] <sauvin> sky`sunset, Jack_Sparrow, I believe fs.org has ext2 FS drivers for Windows.
[21:12] <sky`sunset> really?
[21:12] <joshua__> cd cuts off half of my desktop
[21:12] <sky`sunset> how can i put the name b4 the msg?
[21:12] <sky`sunset> sauvin

[21:13] <ubotu> sky`sunset: 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
[21:13] <Tupsik> is there a fast but feature-rich graphics viewer?
[21:13] <mariano7> net
[21:13] <joshua__> in other words I hope this is a quick fix I dont want to have to configure xorg.conf just to fix my sudo problem
[21:13] <sauvin> stefg, YES, thank you.
[21:13] <sauvin> josh, regardless of the state of your desktop, you should still be able to open an xterm.
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> sauvin: Sorry had to get the door..
[21:13] <joshua__> sauvin: sounds good
[21:14] <sauvin> Jack_Sparrow, don't be sorry. Life, like doodoo, happens.
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Yes, it nees to be setup specifically for that purpose
[21:14] <sky`sunset> stefg, how can i put the name b4 the msg?
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> sauvin: you can add a second partition on there for windows if you must.
[21:14] <Tupsik> then tell me guys, is it possible to compile Ubuntu kernel with optimizations for my system?
[21:14] <joshua__> so at the the promtp type gksudo edit?
[21:14] <sauvin> Jack_Sparrow, of course you can, if the usb device is large enough to manage it.
[21:14] <sky`sunset> can config the formats taht both linux and windows can understand?
[21:15] <Jack_Sparrow> sauvin: It works quite well...  I have an iso of a basic usb in persistent.. I think base is 42 meg

[21:15] <davenull> Tupsik: yes, look up in google, too long to tell you here
[21:15] <Jack_Sparrow> sauvin: I just got frustrated telling him to look and he kept wining about not being able to find anything
[21:16] <Tupsik> so doesn't this speed up the Ubuntu?
[21:16] <sauvin> Jack_Sparrow, who?
[21:16] <joshua__> soundray sauvin, nopw that I am in the live environment what should I do ?
[21:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Skygge_: No you cant
[21:16] <Jack_Sparrow> sorry wronk sky
[21:16] <sauvin> joshua__, if your desktop is messed up, I'd open a terminal and try to use nano to edit the /etc/sudoers file.
[21:16] <Skygge_> Jack_Sparrow, np
[21:16] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[21:17] <sauvin> Mind you, you'll have to FIND it, first, joshua__; it'll be on a /dev/hd* or /dev/sd* partition.

[21:19] <Rudd-O> hullo guys.  what's the set of steps I have to do to build a package if I have an old version of a package with its .dsc file, and the latest tarball of the source?
[21:19] <sauvin> .oO(".dsc"?)

[21:19] <joshua__> sauvin: what is the quick way to mount drives in root
[21:19]  * sky`sunset slaps sauvin around a bit with a large trout
[21:19] <killroy_2> Tidus: firstly, lspci does review that the pcmcia nic (the wpc54g v4 is using the TI chipset
[21:19] <Rudd-O> sauvin: .dsc is what I get when I apt-get source
[21:19] <ubotu> packaging is The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports
[21:20] <Rudd-O> ok lemme read that
[21:20] <killroy_2> Tidus: and the internal wifi nic is the Intel PRO Wireless 2100
[21:20] <sauvin> joshua__, do you know what partition your installed ubuntu is on?
[21:20] <Rudd-O> its really slow, the site doesnt load
[21:20] <Ctrl_> is intel X3100 completable with gutsy?
[21:20] <Rudd-O> Ctrl_: I'm not sure if gutsy may complete intel X3100
[21:20] <Rudd-O> :-)
[21:20] <ComPro> what would cause fglrx to stop working? last night after a reboot, it wouldn't load X properly, so today, i reformatted and started from scratch, and fglrx still will not load X properly. it falls back to vesa.  http://pastebin.com/m1b146ca2 <-- here is my Xorg.0.log file

[21:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about proc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:21] <Rudd-O> compro lemme read your file
[21:21] <Rudd-O> hang on a sec
[21:21] <Tupsik> does a self-compiled kernel speed the system up?
[21:21] <joshua__> I think I better just reboot into safemode ? I have three harddrives with about five partitions I think its hdc1
[21:21] <Ctrl_> when i installed gutsy my card was working fine but after playing with xorg its working anymore
[21:21] <killroy_2> Tidus: here are two issues I have right now: the Intel wifi is no longer even scanning for connections.  I'd made a change to knetworkManager and set the wifi to DHCP and autostart and now it just doesn't scan at all
[21:21] <sauvin> Tupsik, *sometimes*, but not usually perceptibly.
[21:21] <a-arschi> kotz
[21:21] <Ctrl_> its not working anymore*
[21:21] <sky`sunset> how can i put ur name b4 my msg?
[21:21] <killroy_2> Tidus: that being said, the linksys (wpc54g v4) doesn't even show up.
[21:21] <Rudd-O> that is certainly a library that got upgraded and has a bug, or the fglrx driver has a bug itself
[21:21] <Rudd-O> you need to report the backtrace in your log to bugs.launchpad.net
[21:22] <naynay> Hey people, ca someone help me....i'm just suffered a major data loss
[21:22] <Rudd-O> naynay: state your question
[21:22] <sauvin> Tupsik, the problem with rolling your own kernel is that distros often have their own patchsets and configs; if you don't acknowledge those, you risk breaking things.
[21:22] <sky`sunset> can someone tell me how to ut the name b4 the msg ?
[21:22] <sky`sunset> sauvin

[21:22] <Ctrl_> any1 suggest if i should reinstall gutsy?
[21:22] <killroy_2> Tidus: so, firstly do you have any idea how to get the linksys to start such that I can scan and connect, and secondly, what happened to my intel (if you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it)
[21:22] <sauvin> sky`sunset, what do you mean?
[21:22] <AllNicksAreTaken> just wondering, can I start Ubuntu 7.10 in the LiveCD environment? When I boot from the CD I am only able to install it via Text Mode

[21:24] <matttis> which /proc is for the screen reslolution or refresh rate ?
[21:24] <MeeKs> i just got this laptop for my dad, hes very very very computer "retarded" i want some opinions on what version of linux to run on this for him.  http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/as3680.htm
[21:24] <meoblast001> hello, ive been trying to get help from #C++ but they just critisize me, so ill ask here since other Ubuntu users might have experienced this..... i need a way for resources to be copied through the build script?... i checked the internet and cant find anything
[21:24] <sauvin> joshua__, do you know what partition your installed ubuntu is on?
[21:24] <Rudd-O> Ctrl_: you're better off not compiling stuff manually, unless you can build a debian package.  trust me, it is better for your long-term mental health :-D
[21:24] <joshua__> sauvin: I think its hdc1
[21:25] <Rudd-O> ahahaaha! its finishing pulseaudio deb
[21:25] <ComPro> Rudd-O, the vesa driver works. fglrx doesn't.
[21:25] <sauvin> joshua__, it's not likely to be hdc1.
[21:25] <Jock2> Sometimes Ubuntu freezes, such as when trying to run a  particular application in full-screen mode in Wine. I can't move the mouse cursor, and ctrl+alt+del doesn't work. Do I have to restart the computer, or is there another way?
[21:25] <Rudd-O> ComPro: NOT fglrx.  ATI.
[21:25] <adac> if I want that a python script is executed at first when an user shuts down the system...were do i have to put it or how do i solve this?
[21:25] <Ctrl_> Rud , Ubuntu isnt the first linux distro that i use belieave me ;)
[21:25] <joshua__> sauvin:  I have an unconventional partition set-up
[21:25] <Rudd-O> Jock2: control alt del never works on Linux X Window System, but you can try Control Alt BACKSPACE
[21:25] <juano__> ComPro: enabled restricted drivers ?¡
[21:25] <sauvin> joshua__, do you have a /media directory?
[21:25] <Rudd-O> Jock2: the freeze is most likely not a freeze but a windowing system hang
[21:25] <Jock2> Rudd-O: didn't work either :(
[21:26] <AllNicksAreTaken> silly alternate iso is supposed to have LiveCD, but it doesn't. *shrugs*
[21:26] <joshua__> sauvin: Yes but there is nothing listed there
[21:26] <ComPro> juano_: i enabled restricted drivers. that's when it broke.
[21:26] <Jock2> Rudd-O: ok, I see.
[21:26] <Rudd-O> if you have sysrq enabled (I'm not sure if thats the default) you can try the sysrq magic key combo that kills the X server
[21:26] <Rudd-O> lemme fetch you a guide
[21:26] <sauvin> joshua__, try this (in the terminal): mkdir /media/mystuff
[21:26]  * sauvin is going to play merry hell trying to figure out how to mount stuff on a livecd system if that doesn't work
[21:26] <juano__> ComPro: and you install anything before that ?
[21:26] <Rudd-O> http://rudd-o.com/archives/2007/08/01/controlling-runaway-processes-on-linux

[21:26] <joshua__> sauvin:  Permisision denied
[21:27] <sauvin> joshua__, try sudo mkdir /media/mystuff
[21:27] <juano__> ComPro: i see.. what video card ?

[21:27] <sauvin> joshua__, try sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /media/mystuff
[21:28] <juano__> ComPro: followed the !ati guide ?
[21:28] <Ashfire908> juano__, grub says it can't mount.
[21:28] <Ctrl_> I guess i am going to remove this stupid distro , i never like debian and i didnt know why i though i would ;)
[21:28] <sauvin> (now, the question I have is: on what partition is the ubuntu livecd mounted?
[21:28] <ComPro> !ati
[21:28] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[21:28] <juano__> ComPro: if the restricted one doesnt work, try installing the binary one
[21:28] <Rudd-O> sauvin: use the mount command to figure out
[21:29] <juano__> ComPro: follow that guide
[21:29] <Rudd-O> Ctrl_: I have the same quibbles you have
[21:29] <sauvin> Rudd-O, I'd have to find my freaking livecd and reboot on it :\
[21:29] <RequinB4> can anyone tell me the difference between a drive and a mount
[21:29] <a-arschi> had 21GB of work data on an external HDD and it has been deleted by an u
[21:29] <Rudd-O> sauvin: the livecd is mounted on a fictitious loopback filesystem, not on a real partition
[21:29] <juano__> Ashfire908: u follow the guide in that link ?
[21:29] <Ctrl_> really? prove it
[21:30] <stefg> RequinB4: a drive is raw hardware. when yo have a filesystem on t you can mount it to a directory tree
[21:30] <sauvin> Rudd-O, what would the livecd's device node be?
[21:30] <Jvalldom> dga support? need help
[21:30] <sky`sunset> does this channel allow pm  ?
[21:30] <B-rabbit> does evolution need imap(Internet message access protocol) to work
[21:30] <NET||abuse> hey guys.. is it possible to save a divx that's being streamed by totem-plugin?
[21:30] <Rudd-O> RequinB4: a drive is the physical machine with platters inside.  a volume is a partition with data and format inside the drive.  a mount is a place on your filesystem where the volume shows up.
[21:30] <RequinB4> stefg - ah that makes more sence - just confused people use the two interchangably
[21:30] <RequinB4> Rudd-O
[21:30] <sauvin> sky`sunset, if you can't pm, I suspect it's because your nick isn't registered or you're not identified.

[21:31] <chester_martins_> HOW CAN I DELETE A DIRECTORY BY COMAND LINE?

[21:32] <ComPro> juano__: i did follow the instructions for the restricted driver
[21:32] <Ctrl_> funny , each one suggest how to remove dir by his own way ;)
[21:32] <sky`sunset> sauvin : but i can send pm in other servers
[21:32] <Rudd-O> but -i guess you could in theory hack the totem pipeline to output a copy of the stream to disk
[21:32] <bullgard4>  http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/18750/ shows a log of my restart. Why does the dmesg time stamp jump in line 59 from [ 0.000000]  suddenly to [ 18.110675]?
[21:32] <Rudd-O> you're better off building a gstreamer pipeline manually and executing that pipeline
[21:32] <sauvin> sky`sunset, freenode servers have their own irc server software.
[21:32] <Rudd-O> bullgard4: because time is a relative construct?
[21:32] <sky`sunset> sauvin i c
[21:33] <sauvin> sky`sunset, if I wasn't clear on this point, you're on a freenode server now.
[21:33] <Rudd-O> or maybe because after 18 seconds give or take, the klogd is started and extracts data from the kernel log ringbuffer into userspace
[21:33] <sky`sunset> sauvin, i know wut u r saying.
[21:33] <chester_martins_> can anybody help me? i'm trying doing a custom of ubuntu for one school use... who can help me talk me pvt :)

[21:33] <killroy_2> okay, I've just turned off my internal wifi and have installed a pcmcia linksys wpc54g v4 wifi card.  It has power (the light is on).  How do I configure it to work?
[21:33] <killroy_2> !pcmcia
[21:33] <hdevalence> so if I format an externat drive with ext3, will the journal protect against accidental unplugging?

[21:35] <juano__> ComPro: im familiar with nvidia more than ati... and what happens with a lower version ?
[21:35] <stefg> bullgard4: it does jump.... you go to bed at 0:00, but the next thing you notice is looking at the clock at 8:00 in the morning... or whenever you rise :-)
[21:35] <Rudd-O> ComPro: dont you just say that the vid is also scrambled on windows?
[21:35] <ComPro> juano__: with a lower version, i work just fine in windows, and i was working fine in linux until today
[21:35] <ComPro> Rudd-O - only if i use a newer driver
[21:35] <sauvin> Jvalldom, I don't speak Spanish well enough to be able to help you. You'll have to find a Spanish-speaking channel. I thought there'd be an #ubuntu-es channel.
[21:35] <ifco> hey guys

[21:35] <juano__> Rudd-O: with the binary driver he had that issue only version 8.37 or ^^

[21:36] <sauvin> joshua__, I don't know sudoers well enough to be able to help with that file. Something called SMB4K borked it.
[21:36] <Rudd-O> USE THE ATI driver momentarily,
[21:36] <nightdragon> hello everybody
[21:36] <bullgard4> stefg: I will do that soon...

[21:36] <MdL054> Guys, when I boot up off of the ubuntu CD it bring me to a (initramfs) prompt... This is after selecting the run/install option
[21:36] <B-rabbit> OMG!! guyz i am trying to use evolution(first timer) and when i put in my password....this window pops up and it says "Error sending password: -ERR Hotmail said you must pay money to have WebDAV access"...does this mean i have to pay to hotmail  to access my account via evolution!
[21:36] <nightdragon> is there anyone that can help? i am no longer able to access my windows partition from unix (sda3 i think)... and i cant seem to find the disk manager to mount it! help!
[21:37] <sauvin> Jvalldom, so that I'll understand better what you're trying to ask, can you repeat your problem in English?
[21:37] <sky`sunset> does anyone here use backtrack 2?
[21:37] <Rudd-O> kanuha: evolution.  it has a dock icon plugin in the preferences plugins.
[21:37] <chester_martins_> can anybody help me? i'm trying doing a custom of ubuntu for one school use... anybody could help me??
[21:37] <Jvalldom> sure
[21:37] <Rudd-O> B-rabbit: hotmail is not compatible with evolution in any shape or form
[21:37] <nightdragon> chester: edubuntu?
[21:37] <Rudd-O> you need to use gotmail to automate getting mail from htomail into a local folder and use the local folder
[21:37] <emma> B-rabbit -- I am sorry I cannot help you and I realize this may not be a productive comment but in all honesty I truely believe you would be better off just not using hotmail.

[21:38] <sauvin> Well, I don't use hotmail for much :\
[21:38] <Jock2> Rudd-O: I looked that up, and doing Alt+SysRq+REISUB reboots the system. That's probably better than just pressing the power button.
[21:38] <kanuha> Rudd-O, thx
[21:39] <Rudd-O> Jock2: you should just do alt sysrq K
[21:39] <nightdragon> (jesus christ)
[21:39] <Rudd-O> that should kill and make X restart

[21:39] <Jvalldom> i have installed ubuntu 7.10. Everything went find except the integrated webcam that was not and still is recognized. So i read on the web about gspca, did instalation, but still have problem with /dev/video0. seems that it is not created
[21:39] <sauvin> joshua, I don't use vi for editing. I use nano.
[21:39] <emma> Why not use emacs?
[21:39] <stefg> !webcam | Jvalldom
[21:39] <joshua__> sauvin: can you scroll back and repaste the sudoers file has a note that says it must be edited with visudo
[21:40] <Rudd-O> Jvalldom: if /dev/video0 is not created automatically, then thev ideo card driver does not support the card.  test using dmesg to see if when you plug the card, the deriver picks it up
[21:40] <sauvin> emma, because I never troubled myself to learn it, and it's not needed for small jobs.
[21:40] <Undead_Zeu1> This is very annoying, my sound sometimes likes to randomly stop working. First it stops working in a java webstart application
[21:40] <emma> sauvin - I see.
[21:40] <Undead_Zeu1> then it ceases working altogether, how can I avoidt his?

[21:40] <sauvin> joshua__, I don't know what that warning is about. I've never used vi for anything, and I HAVE edited the sudoers file. With nano.
[21:40] <emma> I'm gonna tell #emacs you said that.
[21:40] <Rudd-O> Undead_Zeu1: check the dmesg command output, see if there are driver errors
[21:40] <Jvalldom> i have downloaded the ati drivers already
[21:40] <Phill> How do I rekey my mouse? I have a spare key that I want it to behave like a "middleclick" how may I do this?
[21:40] <ompaul> please quit with the flame wars
[21:41] <Jvalldom> but gonna see about dmesg
[21:41] <sauvin> emma, you go right ahead and tell #emacs I said that. I'll argue that the tool that serves a particular individual best is the best one to use.
[21:41] <stefg> Rudd-O: http://bash.org/?795779

[21:41] <chester_martins_> can anybody run iTunes on UBUNTU??
[21:41] <emma> We love eachother.
[21:42] <eth01> no you cannot run iTunes on ubuntu ...
[21:42] <jscinoz> chester_martins_ i belive it runs perfectly using WINE
[21:42] <Rudd-O> jscinoz: two machines may have hardware issues, you know?  anyway, what is COMMON factor on those two machines?
[21:42] <ompaul> sauvin, emma lets call it preemptive on my part
[21:42] <Rudd-O> eth01: itunes < amarok
[21:42] <juano__> chester_martins_: with wine you can
[21:42] <sauvin> chester_martins_, I've read in various places that recent versions of iTunes on wine is a Bad Idea.
[21:42] <emma> Sure no prob :P
[21:42] <eth01> jscinoz: it's very slow.
[21:42] <sauvin> ompaul, in a busy channel like this, nobody can blame you.
[21:42] <chester_martins_> it's slow with wine :S
[21:42] <juano__> chester_martins_: yep
[21:42] <Rudd-O> Phill:  ROFL!
[21:42] <eth01> Russ-O: it's not iTunes .... read questions properly.
[21:42] <juano__> chester_martins_: i prefer amarok or rhythmbox or listen
[21:43] <Phill> Rudd-O; I've had bad experiences with X11 configuration files -,-
[21:43] <stefg> chester_martins_: it's called amarok on ubuntu :-)
[21:43] <Rudd-O> damnit, I want pulseaudio 0.9.8 and I have no idea how to build it!
[21:43] <eth01> or, you could just create a windows VM using XEN ;)
[21:43] <sauvin> Is the iTunes question because of a recent iPod?
[21:43] <michal__> Hi, I bought Creative Zen, and i want to connect it to my computer. How can i do it?

[21:44] <juano__> chester_martins_: what i havent been able to do is make my rokr phone sync its itunes in linux
[21:45] <chester_martins_> i used listen...but it didn't organize :S
[21:45] <sauvin> ompaul, like I said, in a busy channel like this, nobody can blame you :D
[21:45] <Rudd-O> rokr = failr

[21:45] <Rudd-O> amarok: 8[21:45] <chester_martins_> never! itunes is the best music organizer!!
[21:45] <juano__> lol
[21:46] <Rudd-O> chester_martins_: you honestly haven't organized music with amarok before, have you?
[21:46] <juano__> its the slowest program ive ever seen
[21:46] <jscinoz> Rudd-0, both are laptops running ubuntu, thats the only thing in common, and my current one has had the mobo, gpu and cpu replaced already, and memtest returns no errors.
[21:46] <chester_martins_> amarok runs wel with gnome???????
[21:46] <jscinoz> rudd-O, so i'm quite sure its related to ubuntu
[21:46] <Rudd-O> I meant any common hardware among the laptops, jscinoz
[21:46] <Undead_Zeu1> this is BS, Ubuntu has been giving me annoying problems ever since I installed it, I am going back to Windows XP
[21:46] <Rudd-O> I was an easytag freak, until I discovered the amarok tag editor and musicbrainz thang
[21:46] <killroy_2> I'm trying to get my linksys wpc54g v4 wifi NIC to mount in ubuntu but it's a now go.  Anyone working with PCMCIA able to help?
[21:47] <Ashfire908> j
[21:47] <sauvin> Amarok is a pretty ambitious project; it's not the simplest thing you can use, but the little monster certainly has lots of CAPABILITY.
[21:47] <juano__> best music player is audacious
[21:47] <Rudd-O> Undead_Zeu1: good luck with the journey. I left windows XP because it gave me annoying problems, and so has kubuntu, but the difference is in kubuntu I can actually FIX
[21:47] <juano__> by far
[21:47] <Ashfire908> juano__: nope
[21:47] <Rudd-O> juano__: audacious = lame xmms clone
[21:47] <jscinoz> Rudd-O, alright... CPU, one was centrino solo, one centrino duo, first had 1gb of 333mhz ram, other has 4gb of 666, old had nvidia gefore 5200M, new has 8400m GS
[21:47] <Rudd-O> maybe related to video?
[21:47] <Rudd-O> can you try vesa driver?
[21:47] <chester_martins_> i need a good music organizer!!
[21:47] <juano__> Rudd-O: can you play midis, spc, nsf  with amarok ?
[21:47] <Rudd-O> see if it goes away
[21:47] <Undead_Zeu1> I haven't been able to fix any of my problems in Ubuntu, and Windows XP actually gave me no problems
[21:47] <Ashfire908> juano__: i told it to boot the flash drive and i got this: "GRUB "
[21:48] <jscinoz> Rudd-O, vesa or the non accelerated nvidia?
[21:48] <Rudd-O> juano__: not midis, but I think scp and nsf yes, if xine plays it, amarok plays it
[21:48] <juano__> lol
[21:48] <Rudd-O> jscinoz: vesa and nv if you can
[21:48] <jscinoz> Rudd-O, alright, brb restarting X
[21:48] <Rudd-O> Ashfire908: grub is just the computer's way of saying it wants food.
[21:48] <juano__> Rudd-O: a player that cant play midis just is way bad
[21:48] <Rudd-O> short, sweet, to the point grunt
[21:48] <Rudd-O> juano__: a man who listens to midis is plain sick
[21:48] <sauvin> Well, if you don't like Amarok, why don't you browse the repos? I thought I saw several.
[21:49] <juano__> Rudd-O: yep ;)

[21:50] <Ashfire908> juano__: none. just "GRUB "
[21:50] <killroy_2> support question: how do I get my wifi device to scan for my network.  My wifi was working and now it doesn't scan for a network.  Is there a way to reconfigure wifi?  remove drivers and reinstall or something?
[21:50] <sky`sunset> btw does anyone here use backtrack 2?
[21:50] <Rudd-O> sftp requires ssh, which isnt exactly compaible with the needs of a topsite operator
[21:50] <Ashfire908> with the space
[21:51] <Rukus> Rudd-O ?
[21:51] <juano__> Ashfire908: just that at bootime ?
[21:51] <sky`sunset> y do we have to unmount the usb drive b4 formatting it?
[21:51] <Rudd-O> killroy_2: either use the systray icon of network manager, or install wpa_supplicant and configure it , which is a PAIN but works every time
[21:51] <sauvin> sky`sunset, you can't format a filesystem that's currently in use.
[21:51] <nightdragon> lol this is a MADHOUSE
[21:51] <Rudd-O> sky`sunset:  because if you dont umount it, the kernel gets REALLY CONFUSED as to what data is on disk
[21:51] <sky`sunset> k
[21:51] <sky`sunset> thank u
[21:51] <Rudd-O> of course, this is a known fact of every operating systme
[21:51] <Rudd-O> not just linux
[21:52] <Rukus> Rudd-O  is who the owner of a topsite?
[21:52] <Rudd-O> you
[21:52] <Rukus> why do u say that
[21:52] <Rudd-O> I didnt mean owner, I just meant operator
[21:52] <Rudd-O> flashfxp is typically the software of choice for topsite ops
[21:52] <Rukus> no, i got leech access if u wanna know
[21:52] <Rudd-O> fantastik
[21:52] <boguh> hi, i just installed windows after ubuntu and now im trying to restore my mbr. i booted the live cd and chrooted to my system partiton. but now there are no /dev/sda devices to install grub. what can i do?
[21:52] <Rudd-O> it'd be great to have leech access to a topsite carrying dance music.

[21:52] <ciacon> hi all - I have a Q - what is the best way to find out what kind of Sound System I use?? I just installed the Kubuntu 7.10 and am experienceing some sound problems - all command line apps seem to have problems accessing the soundcard and I also have the feeling, that Kopete does not notify me of new messages thaks to sound-problems - can someone give me some advice??
[21:52] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[21:52] <Ashfire908> juano__: yep
[21:52] <killroy_2> Rudd-O: I think I managed to break it with the KNetworkManager - I tried to enable it to autostart and DHCP and since they it doesn't even scan for the network.

[21:53] <kst-> i'm running gutsy gnome but want to give KDE a shot, (how) can I just install KDE and test it? will I screw up my system by that? what's the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu anyway, just GUI and the software that ships with it?

[21:53] <mnuaimat> hi guys, i have 17" LCD monitor, is there anyway i can enable something like microsoft's clearType on my ubuntu 7.10 in order to improve appearance of fonts?
[21:53] <Rudd-O> jscinoz: install nvidia-glx-new package see how it goes
[21:53] <Ashfire908> juano__: i'm going to try now again. i put device.map file on there now
[21:53] <Slart> kst-: why not just try the live cd.. it ought to give you an idea of what it's like
[21:54] <jscinoz> Rudd-O, thats the one i was using
[21:54] <Rudd-O> install nvidia-glx plain
[21:54] <Rudd-O> or try with nvidia-glx-legacy (doubt it will work)
[21:54] <BRazBoy-00MA> hi
[21:54] <ciacon> Rudd-O: how can it happen, that the simplest of programs (for eg mpg123) can't access the sound-card?? is this due to a malconfiguration?
[21:54] <Slart> mnuaimat: yes.. there is something similar.. hang on.. I'll see what it's called
[21:54] <jscinoz> Rudd-O, would trying nvidia without all of the added Option lines in xorg.conf be a good idea?
[21:54] <mnuaimat> Slart: ok , i am waiting
[21:54] <Phill> Anyone know how to remap a key currently recognized by xev as "0x7a" to be a middle click? Rudd-O suggest xorg.conf; but... I have no idea how to edit that properly.
[21:54] <sauvin> ciacon, do you get a "/dev/dsp busy" error?
[21:54] <Rudd-O> how can I find out if someone has built pulseaudio 0.9.8 for gutsy?  google is no help.
[21:55] <Rudd-O> a KEYBOARD key?
[21:55] <killroy_2> ok, how about this: I'm fed up with struggling with this, so, can any recommend either a USB wifi NIC or PCMCIA that will work "out of the box" with Gutsy?
[21:55] <Rudd-O> not thatI know of
[21:55] <Rukus> i'll reword, i need a FlashFXP alternative for linux that supports SSL, specifically auth TLS.  any suggestions?

[21:55] <stefg> ciacon: 'lspci | grep audio ' or 'aplay -l' will tell you what soundchip you have
[21:55] <Slart> mnuaimat: in system, preferences, appearance.. under fonts.. there's subpixel rendering at the bottom
[21:55] <jscinoz> killroy_2, anything with an intel chipset seems to work pretty well, i got wpa and everything out of the box.
[21:55] <mnuaimat> Slart: thank you i will try it now , brb
[21:55] <Rudd-O> or cat /proc/asound/cards for sound cards

[21:56] <Rudd-O> ?
[21:56] <Rukus> maybe i should have just stuck with windows... ;)
[21:56] <mnuaimat> Slart: wow, that really works, thank you my friend :)
[21:56] <Phill> Rudd-O: It's a mouse key that I want to reconfigure as a middle click.
[21:56] <Rukus> kidding
[21:56] <jscinoz> Rukus, what did flashfxp do?
[21:56] <Rudd-O> ich7?  it works and it works fine, I just setup a machine with exactly the same audio controler
[21:56] <Slart> mnuaimat: you're welcome
[21:56] <sauvin> Oh nonononono, not the W-word again!
[21:56] <Rukus> it did SSL
[21:57] <killroy_2> jscinoz: ok, now, when you say anything with an intel chipset, can you recommend either PCMCIA or USB specifically?  That is, I don't know which has which chipset (though I suppose it will be labeled) and would love a place to start.
[21:57] <ComPro> juano__: I tried an older driver. it still failed.
[21:57] <Rukus> what do you mean
[21:57] <sauvin> this is a family-friendly channel; we're not supposed to say cuss words like W*ndows.
[21:57] <Rudd-O> the option you want is zaxismapping in xorg.conf to remap the mouse keys
[21:57] <ComPro> juano__: actually, i couldn't even run aticonfig after installing the 8.36 binary
[21:57] <Rudd-O> fuck no!

[21:57] <Rudd-O> Bruno1: you need to install gcc?
[21:58] <mnuaimat> guys, i have a USB webcam, i dunno its type, is there anyway i can check if its supported or not, working or not, can i make it work or not ??
[21:58] <Slart> Bruno1: have you done this? "sudo apt-get install build-essential"?
[21:58] <ComPro> juano__: yes i did.
[21:58] <a7x> ComPro, ati is a pain
[21:58] <killroy_2> what is frustrating me most of all is that when I set my wireless device to autostart and DCHP in KNetworkManager it now no longer even scans for my wireless network.  I'd love to just get it back to finding the network so I can work on resolving the initial problem with the firmware
[21:58] <a7x> real big pain

[21:58] <sauvin> Which ATI?
[21:58] <cthulfuego> Bruno1: ./configure writes to a file called configure.log with info in it.
[21:58] <mnuaimat> _bt: brb
[21:58] <ComPro> i hate ATI. the only reason i bought this card is because it was a cheap, halfway decent PCI-e card
[21:58] <a7x> Ati is great
[21:58] <Rudd-O> killroy_2: thats because it was written out in /etc/network/interfaces
[21:58] <a7x> in my opinion
[21:58] <a7x> i like them
[21:58] <jscinoz> rukus, according to the appdb, flashfxp runs reasonably in wine.
[21:59] <Rudd-O> you need to remvoe references to it in the /etc/network/interfaces file and you will have again net scanning
[21:59] <mnuaimat> _bt: no it's not mentioned in the lsusb output
[21:59] <Bruno1> Slart: no, i do it now
[21:59] <ComPro> for christ's sake, i can't even load a mandriva install CD. it craps out trying to load X.
[21:59] <Rudd-O> I discovered that after five hours of mucking around

[21:59] <a7x> cpu MHz		: 600.000
[21:59] <goodhabit> Hello. I have Ubuntu 7.10 and I looking for set-up VPN PPTP connection. How I can do it?
[21:59] <Rudd-O> ComPro: you have a vid card glitch man try another video card, a borrowed one
[21:59] <Phill> ComPro: Ahh; X crashing - one of the truly reliable things found in nature.
[21:59] <sauvin> a7x, ATI is a problem child with respect to linux drivers. My laptop has ATI, and its driver doesn't support 3D acceleration. Worse, using the driver wipes out my VCs.
[21:59] <Slart> Bruno1: that installs the basic stuff needed for compiling... always a good start
[21:59] <juano__> ComPro: nvidia is the best i think
[22:00] <a7x> my laptop has ati
[22:00] <jscinoz> Rukus, if you want something native, try iglooftp http://iglooftp.com/linux/
[22:00] <killroy_2> Rudd-O: you are right.  I was able to see the flaw in interfaces and have since corrected it (thank you)
[22:00] <mnuaimat> _bt: should i give up? or try something else ?
[22:00] <a7x> i don't need to install the card really though
[22:00] <Rudd-O> intel is in fact the best
[22:00] <ComPro> juano__: i want an nvidia card. i'm just not going to buy one as long as this card still works, which it works in windows.
[22:00] <a7x> i mainly chat
[22:00] <Rudd-O> but nvidia is the fastest
[22:00] <a7x> and use aircrack and kismet
[22:00] <a7x> that's about all i do
[22:00] <cthulfuego> goodhabit: apt-cache search pptp - it will find the server and the networkmanager plugin (GUI client)
[22:00] <a7x> i use my desktop for gaming
[22:00] <_bt> mnuaimat: anything in dmesg?
[22:00] <Rudd-O> ComPro: it IS possible that a glitch affects linux but not windows. I have experienced it.
[22:00] <jscinoz> Rudd-O, so now that we know my problem only occurs with the nvidia driver, what can i do to run nvidia without the problem
[22:00] <Rudd-O> eventually the card starts to crap out in windows as well.
[22:00] <a7x> juano__, and MasterShrek are still my heroes
[22:00] <mnuaimat> _bt:  dmesg|grep cam gives nothing
[22:00] <juano__> ComPro: yea. i think to buy another card is a bit overreacting but, i have an nvidia never had trouble what so ever with any linux distro neither windows
[22:01] <goodhabit> cthulfuego, I have installed it, but it seems the icon doesn't added. How to start it?
[22:01] <cthulfuego> goodhabit: You probably need to restart networkmanager
[22:01] <jscinoz> Rukus, does iglooFTP suit your needs?
[22:01] <Rudd-O> jscinoz: if you tried nvidia-glx-legacy, nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-glx and none of them worked... you need a new card.  it might also be a problem with the agpgart
[22:01] <_bt> mnuaimat: just try dmesg and look towards the bottom
[22:01] <ComPro> i still have my old AGP nVidia card. sadly, my new mobo doesnt do AGP
[22:01] <Rudd-O> the icon appears once you restart your graphical session
[22:01] <Rudd-O> probably reboot the machine for good measure, but you can always restart just networking
[22:01] <pliumbum> bas
[22:02] <Rudd-O> ComPro: same problem over here, stuck with a 8mb integrated ati adapter
[22:02] <cthulfuego> sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart
[22:02] <mnuaimat> _bt: what should i look for, in the bottom of dmesg ?
[22:02] <cthulfuego> Rebooting is in no way necessary.
[22:02] <jscinoz> Rudd-O, but is AGP even used in PCI express cards?
[22:02] <juano__> ComPro: sell the agp card and ati card and get a newer nvidia card
[22:02] <_bt> anything that might look like its related
[22:02] <MilitantPotato> what does $ stand for?
[22:02] <Rudd-O> cthulfuego: thats why I said for good measure
[22:02] <cthulfuego> Eh
[22:02] <ComPro> heh
[22:02] <Rudd-O> jscinoz: I understand it is.
[22:02] <cthulfuego> `NetworkManager restart' even - no init script.
[22:02] <juano__> ComPro: hehe
[22:02] <sauvin> MilitantPotato, in what context?
[22:03] <MilitantPotato> cthulfuego: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[22:03] <killroy_2> ok, that taken care of, has anyone see an issue with an Intel wifi where the wifi cycles between connected and disconnected and dmesg reports "ipw2100: Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart" each time the connection is dropped?
[22:03] <jscinoz> Rudd-O, also the same thing happend on a much older card, and this is a laptop so changing the GPU isnt an option
[22:03] <cthulfuego> MilitantPotato: Usually it indicates a root shell.
[22:03] <MilitantPotato> sauvin: in a terminal
[22:03] <goodhabit> cthulfuego, I have not NetworkManager there.
[22:03] <Rukus> jscinoz: flashfxp locks at the listing of files, using both latest version wine and flashfxp. also isnt iglooftp NOT free software? kind of the reason i came to linux, so i could find alternatives to those kind of problems.
[22:03] <sauvin> MilitantPotato, are you talking about the command prompt?
[22:03] <Rukus> or am i wrong?

[22:03] <Beck> How do I change the screen brightness in Ubuntu 7.10?
[22:03] <mnuaimat> _bt: i think i am lost, i dunno what i am looking for, sorry but i am still a newbie
[22:03] <Rudd-O> Rukus: what does the standard output say when you run wine flashfxp on the console?
[22:03] <Rukus> do any of those do SSL
[22:03] <mpeters> Rukus: You tried Filezilla?
[22:03] <sauvin> MilitantPotato, in a terminal, many shells use a default $ prompt to show you're in a normal user account; a root account would use a # instead.
[22:04] <Rukus> no not yet
[22:04] <sauvin> MilitantPotato, I believe korn shell uses % for that purpose.
[22:04] <cthulfuego> goodhabit: Yeah, correct. Just 'sudo NetworkManager restart'
[22:04] <mpeters> Rukus: Filezilla does SSL
[22:04] <Bruno1> Slart: i now get this configure: error: GTK+-2.10 is required to compile aurora. How do i install gtk 2.10?
[22:04] <Rudd-O> my shell only shows a blank line.  I'm above the user/root duality.
[22:04] <Rukus> ok i will try firezilla
[22:04] <Slart> Beck: the knob on the monitor?
[22:04] <Rukus> file
[22:04] <RazzoRz> Hey folks..
[22:04] <juano__> ComPro: probably if you just installed ubuntu, you can try installing again from scratch and installing the binary driver without enabling the restricted one
[22:04] <Beck> Slart: I have a laptop
[22:04] <Rudd-O> Bruno1: it's odd, gtk 2.12 is now the default, so it shouldn't require an older version.
[22:04] <MilitantPotato> Ah cool.  I was following a guide that said run "$ python flyback.py" and I wasn't sure if the $ ment as root or as a user
[22:04] <jscinoz> Rukus, also kftpgrabber apparently supports SSL/TLS
[22:04] <RazzoRz> has anyone delt with Innotek Virturalbox?
[22:04] <Beck> Slart: Well, what do you know, the actual keys work with Ubuntu. o_O
[22:05] <Slart> Bruno1: there is probably a package called libgtk sometihng.. try looking in the documentation and use apt-cache search to search for the package to install
[22:05] <sauvin> MilitantPotato, don't type the $ :D
[22:05] <cthulfuego> Bruno1: it requires the gtk 2.10 or higher headers.
[22:05] <Rudd-O> don't give out $ indiscriminately
[22:05] <cthulfuego> Bruno1: You need the libgtk-2.0 something -dev package for those.
[22:05] <Rudd-O> people will take you for a ride
[22:05] <MilitantPotato> yea I gathered that, i wasn't sure if it ment run it as root or not :)
[22:05] <jscinoz> rukus, i'd go with filezilla though :P
[22:05] <Slart> Beck: oh... didn't think of laptops... but it's nice to know those keys aren't software based =)
[22:05] <Bruno1> cthulfuego:  thanks
[22:05] <Rudd-O> yes, compiling usually requires the -dev modules of the packages it says
[22:05] <jcs> olz
[22:05] <ComPro> juano__: maybe later i'll try that. i'm too frustrated now.
[22:05] <stefg> Bruno1: and remember that you need the packages with teh *-dev suffix for compiling
[22:05] <jscinoz> Rudd-O im going to try the nvidia module but without all the extra options, brb
[22:06] <Rukus> ok i will try filezilla
[22:06] <sillystring> how do you list your drives and partitions in linux?
[22:06] <Rukus> thanks
[22:06] <Bruno1> stefg: ok thanks
[22:06] <sillystring> through the console
[22:06] <Rudd-O> may I suggest a cold sixpack, ComPro?  It doe the trick for me.  OK, actually two and a half sixpacks do the trick for me.
[22:06] <sauvin> sillystring, I do a sudo fdisk -l
[22:06] <RazzoRz> has anyone delt with Innotek Virturalbox?
[22:06] <Rudd-O> RazzoRz: I have
[22:06] <Rudd-O> RazzoRz: it's VERY NICE, but the networking is a PAIN
[22:06] <juano__> ComPro: lol
[22:06] <goodhabit> RazzoRz, yep.
[22:06] <RazzoRz> Rudd-O...
[22:06] <Rudd-O> I reverted to vmware because of it
[22:06] <RazzoRz> well no
[22:06] <robdig_> sillystring: df
[22:06] <RazzoRz> I have mine worked out just fine
[22:06] <JJtech> anyone here familiar with wine??
[22:06] <juano__> ComPro: fglrxinfo
[22:06] <mnuaimat> _bt: i have disconnect it , then connect it again, then dmesg, it gives usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
[22:07] <sillystring> kk
[22:07] <Rudd-O> I needed bridged networking due to the topology of my home network.
[22:07] <juano__> ComPro: type that in terminal
[22:07] <sillystring> what does sudo do to change fdisk -l?
[22:07] <Rudd-O> and the instructions were EXTREMELY complicated
[22:07] <Phill> Rudd-O: After reading the entire xorg man entry; I have found no reference on zaxismapping - am I blind?
[22:07] <sillystring> i had been trying fdisk to no avail
[22:07] <goodhabit> RazzoRz, just choose NAT networking, that's all.
[22:07] <Rudd-O> mind you I've been on Linux for 10 years now.
[22:07] <Rudd-O> ZAxisMapping
[22:07] <Rudd-O> you will find it on the x config file
[22:07] <RazzoRz> My Networkin is just fine
[22:07] <ComPro> fglrxinfo crashes whenever i run it
[22:07] <Phill> Rudd-O: But the question is; how to use it?
[22:07] <jscinoz> Rudd-O, problem doesnt occur with nvidia driver and no extra options, so now i just have to go through the ~7 options i have set and find which one breaks it. thanks for the help
[22:07] <RazzoRz> i want to know about my MIC
[22:07] <ipx_> Can I somehow mount .mdf/.mds-files and bypass copyprotection as I did in daemon tools in windows, and make that cd appear as a real cd for the computer, and therefore act as a mini-image and let my game launch? I've lost my diablo 2 cd and cant get any nocd to work :(
[22:07] <stefg> sillystring: fdisk -l needs root-privs, so you have to run it with sudo
[22:07] <Rudd-O> ComPro: can you run gdb fglrxinfo then type run in the command line it says?
[22:08] <Rudd-O> ipx_: not sure, honestly
[22:08] <sauvin> sillystring, unless I'm mistaken (I'm not in ubuntu right now), fdisk is in /sbin, which isn't in a normal user's path.
[22:08] <RazzoRz> and.... about installing 120 on my host xp? not sure if the cd drive is seen by 120
[22:08] <Rudd-O> yes
[22:08] <Phill> ipx_: Can you get daemon tools to work under emulation? =/
[22:08] <Rudd-O> 120?????
[22:08] <Slart> ipx_: you can use mount -o loop /path/to/iso/file /path/to/mount/point/
[22:08] <ComPro> Rudd-O, sure hang on just a sec
[22:08] <ipx_> Phill: I seriously doubt it?
[22:08] <Phill> ipx_: So do I =P
[22:08] <Rudd-O> Phill: you can get daemontools working just fine under a vmware or virtualbox XP machine
[22:08] <ipx_> Slart: It will not act the way i want
[22:08] <ipx_> Phill: =P
[22:09] <goodhabit> cthulfuego, I have done, but nothing is changed.
[22:09] <Rudd-O> Slart: I don't think .ms? files can be mounted loop
[22:09] <Rudd-O> they aren't isos
[22:09] <cthulfuego> goodhabit: Alright, logout and log back in.
[22:09] <Phill> gtg peace
[22:09] <goodhabit> cthulfuego, I am restarted x server now.
[22:09] <Ru> .
[22:09] <sauvin> Do a file command on your .ms? file and see what it says.
[22:09] <sillystring> /dev/sda5
[22:09] <goodhabit> And then entered again.
[22:09] <Slart> ipx_: oh.. then you might be out of luck I think..
[22:09] <ipx_> Slart: i think so too :(
[22:09] <sillystring> /dev/sda5
[22:10] <sillystring> Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
[22:10] <sillystring> Is that bad?
[22:10] <Rudd-O> that's a harmless warning
[22:10] <Slart> Rudd-O: I've managed to convert the cd's I've needed for wine
[22:10] <sillystring> kk
[22:10] <ComPro> Rudd-O: Error: unable to open display :0   Program exited with code 0337
[22:10] <goodhabit> cthulfuego, so I am just logouted.
[22:10] <Rudd-O> Slart: awesome
[22:10] <RazzoRz> so what i am doin is i am trying to install alcohol 120 so i can load a image file,
[22:10] <sauvin> RazzoRz, what's the image file?
[22:10] <RazzoRz> need for speed carbon
[22:10] <RazzoRz> sorry
[22:10] <RazzoRz> MDS file
[22:10] <Rudd-O> ComPro: what command are you running?
[22:11] <ComPro> gdb fglrxinfo
[22:11] <ComPro> run
[22:11] <sauvin> .oO("MDS"?)
[22:11] <RazzoRz> Have you ever use 120??
[22:11] <Rudd-O> that just means that fglrxinfo somehow for some reason cannot connect to your local display.
[22:11] <sauvin> Yes, but only on Windows.
[22:11] <Rudd-O> which is ODD
[22:11] <Bugson> anybody knows where I can found network monitor icons??
[22:11] <Rudd-O> Bugson: /usr/share/pixmaps and /usr/share/icons
[22:11] <nfusco> Anyone here using the Broadcom 4306 (Rev 2) chipset for wireless?
[22:11] <Rudd-O> under icons there are a lot of subfolders with icons in different styles
[22:12] <Rudd-O> and I mean a LOT
[22:12] <Bugson> I was looking there but I couldn't find it
[22:12] <Rudd-O> you want an icon for a folder full of naked babes?  There IS ONE.
[22:12] <Rudd-O> of course it's not a porn icon, it's a folder icon :-D
[22:12] <RazzoRz> that's odd
[22:12]  * sauvin would be more turned on by a folder full of pictures of naked motherboards
[22:12] <Bugson> Rudd-0 I'm not speeking off network manager
[22:13] <Bugson> but network monitor
[22:13] <sauvin> Bugson, you're just looking for an ICON? A grahic?
[22:13] <sauvin> Graphic?
[22:13] <Bugson> yes
[22:13] <Bugson> I want to change them
[22:13] <sauvin> Bugson, have you tried Rudd-O's suggestion?
[22:13] <bitbit> Hi guys, I have a geforce 8600gt that isnt being detected, how do i fix this?
[22:14] <Bugson> yes I was looking there
[22:14] <sauvin> Bugson, if you don't see what you like, why don't you create one?
[22:14] <chester_martins_> what is the best GUI for a pc with 128mb of RAM?
[22:14] <rsk> chester_martins_: e
[22:14] <Tikiman> ach! my computer died on me
[22:14] <JJtech> bitbit: enable restricted drivers
[22:14] <Bugson> sauvin but the program have some defaults, I just want to change them
[22:15] <Bugson> and I can't find the defaults one :/
[22:15] <Centaur5> How can I start postgresql as an unprivileged user id?
[22:15] <Slart> chester_martins_: well xfce is kind of lean
[22:15] <Tikiman> i just tried to install unbuntu. went fine, no big issues. partitioned ok... GRUB looked like it set up fine, but now when I boot it just says BOOTMGR is missing. how do i rebuild my boot?
[22:15] <sauvin> Bugson, what, precisely, are you trying to edit?
[22:16] <chester_martins_> Slart, don't exist a lighter ?? :p
[22:16] <bitbit> JJtech: you mean system > admin > restricted drivers manager?
[22:16] <phaedra> !grub | Tikiman
[22:16] <ubotu> Tikiman: 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
[22:16] <Bugson> I want to exchange the default network monitor icons for the one that i like
[22:16] <chazco> Hi... Nautilus doesnt appear to follow redirects when using FTP... any ideas?
[22:16] <ciacon> hi all - I've just run through a guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto .... I rebooted and now I'm up the following step: "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec" which returns "cat: /proc/asound/card0/codec#*: No such file or directory"... I'm stuck - can anyone help?
[22:16] <JJtech> bitbit: yes
[22:16] <sauvin> Bugson, what desktop environment are you using?
[22:16] <Bugson> gnome
[22:16] <NetIds> hello all
[22:17] <Slart> chester_martins_: well.. I guess twm might be even lighter.. but you have to decide how far to go.. you could even go with the command line if you really wanter =)
[22:17] <bitbit> JJtech: it says "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers"
[22:17] <NetIds> how are get openftd on ubuntu 7.10 ?
[22:17] <RazzoRz> Rudd-o: do you know much about how the mic works in Virtualbox?... what do i need to add to the vmx file??
[22:17] <JJtech> bitbit: aren't you in gutsy?
[22:17] <sauvin> Bugson, I'm running KDE, so your mileage may vary. When I want to change an icon in a menu item or on the desktop, I RIGHT CLICK on it to 'edit item'.
[22:18] <chester_martins_> Slart, lol...so you think that XCFE it's fine? :)
[22:18] <sauvin> Bugson, there's an icon there to click on so you can change the icon that appears on the desktop or in the kicker menu.
[22:18] <bitbit> JJtech: gutsy = 7.10? yes
[22:18] <Bugson> sauvin but I'm talking about tray icon
[22:18] <eric> I have some mpg videos that don't play correctly. sometimes I only see the first few seconds and it freezes... other times I see the first frame and it freezes
[22:18] <eric> what can I do to fix this?
[22:19] <jack-desktop> I restarted my computer and started getting these errors (http://rafb.net/p/NO3VdG25.html) and now I have to run in failsafe and I can't get compiz fusion to work in gutsy.
[22:19] <sauvin> Bugson, tray icons can also be edited. Click around.
[22:19] <chester_martins_> yes bitbit
[22:19] <Slart> chester_martins_: I use xfce on my server at home.. it's ok
[22:19] <JJtech> bitbit: we have same nividia graphics card bitbit, i don't see why it is not being detected..
[22:19] <dxdt> eric: probably the wrong codecs or something like that.  Do you have the gstreamer good, bad, and ugly installed?  They may help.
[22:19] <RazzoRz> anyone know much about innotek virturalbox?...
[22:19] <chester_martins_> thanks Slart
[22:20] <Bugson> sauvin I think they can't in gnome :/
[22:20] <dxdt> If you want to run Windows XP in Ubuntu, and you have a winxp cd, is there a way to do this for free or is this something where I need to buy additional software like VMware?
[22:20] <eric> dxdt, no, not that I know of
[22:20] <sauvin> Bugson, I seriously doubt that, but you may have better luck asking in #gnome or some similar channel; I'm not going to log out and back in to research this.
[22:20] <bitbit> JJtech: when I restart my comp the screen is black, even before ubuntu loads
[22:21] <Bugson> ok thanks a lot
[22:21] <dxdt> eric: I would check out those in synaptic and install them.  It may help a lot.
[22:21] <RazzoRz> dxdt: use innotek virtualbox in add n remove ... you will see it tehre
[22:21] <RazzoRz> there**
[22:21] <stefg> !virtualizers | dxdt
[22:21] <ubotu> dxdt: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[22:21] <jack-desktop> I restarted my computer and started getting these errors (http://rafb.net/p/NO3VdG25.html) and now I have to run in failsafe and I can't get compiz fusion to work in gutsy.
[22:21] <Personne> xxx
[22:21] <RazzoRz> more stable then vmware
[22:21] <Slart> dxdt: I don't think you can use  windows xp to run games inside ubuntu... but qemu works for standard windows apps
[22:21] <cvd_> where the hell can i download more compiz plugins?
[22:21] <dxdt> Virtualbox, eh.
[22:21] <RazzoRz> Yeah
[22:21] <eric> dxdt, ah, apparently they are installed
[22:21] <neutrale> domanda: per emulare un programma windows importante come flash e dreamweawer cosa mi consigliate?
[22:21] <dxdt> Oh yeah I'm not looking to run games, I'm actually looking to run Netflix's Watch Now service which is not only windows only, but IE only.  :(
[22:21] <Slart> cvd_: you can check the damn repos =)
[22:22] <eric> dxdt, could I convert the video perhaps?
[22:22] <Slart> !info compiz-plugins-extra
[22:22] <ubotu> Package compiz-plugins-extra does not exist in gutsy
[22:22] <dxdt> eric:  I think it would be easier to try the new codecs first.
[22:22] <RazzoRz> and dont forget to install the guest additons it helps

[22:24] <broco> if i click "custom" then they return to custom normally and effects are back again
[22:24] <bitbit> JJtech: when I restart my comp the screen is black, even before ubuntu loads ( < last message)
[22:24] <dxdt> How is Xen different than VirtualBox?
[22:24] <broco> and everything works fine until it jumps back to none
[22:24] <Slart> ciacon: I think you're supposed to change the # to a number.. 1, 2, 3 etc
[22:24] <broco> this happens sometimes when i close windows and not EVERYTIME
[22:24] <mico> can anyone point me the direction to configure both server and client ldap ?      (I have already follow some toturials that I found on the net, but didn't work )

[22:25] <saftsack> hi, do you get pidgin lockups too?
[22:25] <Slart> ciacon: oh... so alsa doesn't detect your soundcard.. that's a problem.. what kind of soundcard do you have?
[22:25] <eric> dxdt, then what tools could I use to convert the video?
[22:26] <Cpudan80> The iPod was previously synced with Windows
[22:26] <saftsack> i heard that pidgin 2.2.1 doesnt run very well ... does somebody have the same experiences?
[22:26] <dxdt> eric: mencoder?  I dunno.  YOu'll have to google and such or ask others in the room.
[22:26] <joeb3_> Cpudan80, just plug it in. You won't see the windows stuff though.
[22:26] <bitbit> JJtech: any idea?
[22:26] <ciacon> can't tell you 100% sure - I have a Intel® Desktop Board D975XBX --> http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d975xbx/sb/CS-022036.htm

[22:27] <Cpudan80> I can see the files - and the device
[22:27] <Slart> saftsack: runs nicely here.. no problems with amd 64bit, ubuntu7.10
[22:27] <Cpudan80> Hell i can even play the files off it
[22:27] <sauvin> Cpudan, what is this iPod?
[22:27] <jack-desktop> I restarted my computer and started getting these errors (http://rafb.net/p/NO3VdG25.html) and now I have to run in failsafe and I can't get compiz fusion to work in gutsy.

[22:34] <broco> hey guys, got a problem... my visual effects in gutsy gibbon sometimes change to "none" automatically and i don't know why... some kind of crash i think. this doesn't happen in the same way it differs everytime and mostly when i close tabbed windows
[22:34] <gan|y|med>  i am compiling my own kernel. however, it cannot find root. fs support and ata driver are compiled in. i suppose, it is the fact that the old ata driver is used and therefore /dev/hda instead of /dev/sda. does anybody know how to make /dev/sda the default?

[22:34] <PriceChild> gan|y|med, why are you compiling your own kernel/
[22:34] <DeviantSolution> @sidncoke Just go to Add/Remove and search for Transmission. No s. ^_^
[22:34] <Tidus> saeed, forgot to use sudo ...
[22:34] <mpeters> Bruno1: is it a Linux box?
[22:34] <saeed> do u know how to fix this?
[22:35] <Bruno1> mpeters: yes
[22:35] <saeed> I used sudo
[22:35] <Tidus> saeed, sudo gpasswd -a blah blah
[22:35] <saeed> and it still doesn't work
[22:35] <sam_> heyy i need nhelp...every time i open synaptic or update manager or anything it says this...E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[22:35] <sam_> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[22:35] <mpeters> Bruno1: sudo netstat -atnp
[22:35] <Ogre2020> in the media directory their is cdrom and cdrom0 and they look empty
[22:35] <B-rabbit> saeed: use "sudo" before the command and type your password
[22:36] <saeed> got it
[22:36] <ciacon> Slart: http://pastebin.ca/797329
[22:36] <saeed> thanks guys

[22:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pcspkr - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[22:36] <chester_martins> how can amarok organize my music folder auto??
[22:36] <a7x> brb restart
[22:36] <eric> I cannot understand the mencoder docs AT ALL
[22:37] <kanuha> is there a way to get evolution to dock?
[22:37] <eric> they are over 1000 lines long even
[22:37] <Slart> Al2O3: huh??
[22:37] <Bruno1> mpeters:  what should it say
[22:37] <Tidus> eric, it's terrible, i know
[22:37] <chester_martins> how can amarok organize my music folder auto??
[22:37] <sam_> Hey can someone help me
[22:37] <Ogre2020> hey, how dose one access a cdrom
[22:37] <eric> Tidus, all I want to do is convert an mpg to say, a mov... anything else
[22:37] <Al2O3> anyone know of where I can get the gPC Everex computer in a formfactor that is a lot smaller than http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7754614
[22:37] <eric> Tidus, my problem is that my mpg are not playing correctly
[22:37] <mpeters> Bruno1: Look for sshd in the last column of the output
[22:37] <Tidus> is it mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 ?
[22:37] <Al2O3> the http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7754614 comes with gOS, or a versionized Ubuntu.
[22:38] <eric> Tidus, how do I tell?
[22:38] <d1n0> im having problems with my two logitech bluetooth units, works fine in xubuntu, but only one of them works in ubuntu, and when both connected its the dinovo edge working... but this is not a problem in xubuntu! anyone have any ideas?
[22:38] <Bruno1> mpeters: nope, there is no sshd anywhere
[22:38] <chester_martins> how can amarok organize my music folder auto??
[22:38] <sam_> everytime i open synaptic or update manager i get this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[22:38] <sam_> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[22:38] <Tidus> eric, try playing the file through mplayer on the terminal and watch the flood of text that goes by
[22:38] <desertc> For $200 you can purchase a PC from Walmart with hardware that is all supported by the Linux kernel, so you can load any Linux-based operating system onto it.  http://www.everex.com/products/gpc/gpc.htm  Can buy them customized online at http://www.zareason.com/shop/home.php
[22:38] <mpeters> Bruno1: then you need to start sshd /etc/init.d/sshd start
[22:38] <Bugson> maybe someone now where is the folder with network monitor tray icons?
[22:38] <mpeters> Bruno1: but you'll possibly need to install it first
[22:38] <Radi01> sam: run it/it fixes it
[22:39] <Slart> ciacon: wow.. that's a lot of errors about the soundcard.. something's not right here.. have you tried googling those errors?
[22:39] <sam_> run it?
[22:39] <chester_martins> how can amarok organize my music folder auto??
[22:39] <In_Silico> whew
[22:39] <In_Silico> howdy all
[22:39] <desertc> Isn't your time worth more than $200 when you bang your head against you keyboard trying to get your computer or your friends' computers working, which were not designed for the Linux Kernel?
[22:39] <Radi01> and hit (y) and it will fix the problem
[22:39] <Bruno1> mpeters: ok. When writing the command, do i type friendsusername@his-ip or @his-computer's-name
[22:39] <eric> Tidus, mpeg-1
[22:39] <ciacon> Slart: not yet - I have never tried
[22:39] <free1> Is it possible for my modprobe.conf file to be missing?
[22:39] <free1> as in deleted somehow?
[22:39] <JJtech> bitbit: im back
[22:39] <dkulchenko> sam_: go to a terminal and type dpkg --configure -a
[22:40] <sam_> i did
[22:40] <Tidus> eric, it should work just fine...
[22:40] <Radi01> dpkg --configure -a      run that and hit (y) when it asks  sam
[22:40] <ciacon> Slart: another idea - I assume that I could just "simply have my old sound back"
[22:40] <sam_> it says i need like super something power
[22:40] <Tidus> but .mov is quicktime
[22:40] <chester_martins> how can amarok organize my music folder auto??
[22:40] <towlie> have any of you installed the autumn theme in ubuntu
[22:40] <Tidus> .mpg works great in linux, but .mov is going to require openquicktime
[22:40] <mpeters> Bruno1: his-ip will always work, name will only work if you have DNS set up or an entry in your /etc/hosts file
[22:40] <eric> Tidus, mplayer said it could not open some sort of out device
[22:40] <Slart> ciacon: your "old sound"? what was your "old sound"?
[22:40] <Tidus> eric, video or sound?
[22:40] <eric> Tidus, and totem freezes after a few seconds in the video
[22:40]  * sauvin tunes back in
[22:40] <free1> I go into /etc and I do not see the modprobe.conf file
[22:40] <sauvin> eric, what device?
[22:40] <eric> Tidus, video
[22:41] <chester_martins> how can amarok organize my music folder auto??
[22:41] <Tidus> O.o ... ?
[22:41] <desertc> Al2O3: You can find configuration options in the links I provided above.
[22:41] <bitbit> JJtech: BIOS gives the pci-e (geforce there) priority over the internal mb plug, i checked
[22:41] <bitbit> JJtech: and my mb is msi 945gcm5
[22:41] <sam_> it sys ¨ dpkg --configure -a¨
[22:41] <Tidus> mplayer -vo x11 <file> ... try that
[22:41] <eric> sauvin, the video out device... that is all it says
[22:41] <Bruno1> mpeters: ok, if we both have sshd running it should work right? or is there anything else we have to do first?
[22:41] <sam_> oops
[22:41] <Radi01> clear the terminal and put that in sam
[22:41] <towlie> have any of you installed the autumn theme in ubuntu
[22:41] <ciacon> Slart: that was the sound that I could at least partly hear, before I went through this tutorial off the ubuntu help pages .... -->  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto       one of the guys in this chan was as nice as to let ubot let me know this link ;-)
[22:41] <sam_> sorry it say: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[22:41] <eric> Tidus, hey, it played fine :D
[22:42] <sauvin> eric, do an mplayer -vo help to see a list of video out options.
[22:42] <Tidus> lol np
[22:42] <Al2O3> desertc: do you know of a package/case solution that has a small footprint that is same price.  The size of a standard desktop anchor is not apealing.
[22:42] <Tidus> sauvin, already got him runnin :P
[22:42] <Radi01> it is broken then  try your password
[22:42] <dkulchenko> saM_: do the same thing but type sudo dpkg --configure -a
[22:42] <sauvin> Oh, in that case, never mind :D
[22:42] <Ogre2020> how do i view the contents of a cd-rom via the comand prompt /media
[22:42] <desertc> Al2O3: You can find configuration options in the links I provided.
[22:42] <JJtech> bitbit: no problem about ur pci-e ... when inside BIOS press F9 to set setting to default
[22:42] <ciacon> Slart: I got as far as the "reboot" mentioned - after that all was downhill....
[22:42] <sam_> ahh thanks! =]
[22:42] <Al2O3> desertc: customize :)
[22:42] <Slart> ciacon: but that page is kind of old.. they ought to have fixed this by now..
[22:42] <sauvin> Ogre2020, what's in /media?
[22:42] <Radi01> k
[22:42] <nicolah> is there a software that let me stream audio over the internet and control it (the software) from remote ?
[22:42] <mpeters> Bruno1: only the remote machine needs sshd, provided firewall rules (if you have one between the machines) allow the connection on port 22, that should be all you need
[22:43] <ciacon> Slart: sh1t
[22:43] <free1> is it possible for the modprobe.conf to have been replaced by another file?
[22:43] <Radi01> now hit (y) and let it do its thing.
[22:43] <free1> I see modprobe.d
[22:43] <Slart> ciacon: hang on.. let me read that page through.. see if it really is that old
[22:43] <atlfalcons866> WHats the difference bewteen dvd and cd version of ubuntu
[22:43] <Bruno1> mpeters: ok, thanks for your help
[22:43] <ciacon> Slart: thx
[22:43] <Tidus> atlfalcons866, the dvd contains more packages.
[22:43] <chester_martins> how can amarok organize my music folder auto??
[22:43] <towlie> do you guys have a menu named Advanced Desktop Effects Settings under System>Preferences ?
[22:43] <mpeters> Bruno1: no problem
[22:43] <Al2O3> desertc: don't see an option for case configuration/optiosn
[22:43] <sauvin> free1, iirc, modprobe.d is the directory you want to go into if you need to tinker with modprobe stuff.
[22:43] <andi5> Tidus: how does that to relate to repository inclusion?
[22:43] <bitbit> JJtech: k sec
[22:43] <Ogre2020> tis were the gui file browser says my cd-rom is /media/My Disk
[22:44] <Al2O3> net, memory, monitor, literature, quantity, not much else.
[22:44] <sauvin> Ogre2020, try cd /media/My\ Disk
[22:44] <Ogre2020> ok, one sec
[22:44] <sauvin> (@#$@%#@#%@#% people who put spaces in names!)
[22:44] <Tidus> andi5, it doesn't.  the same packages are available on both versions.  just the cd version will have to go out to the net for more packages.
[22:44] <towlie> do you guys have a menu named Advanced Desktop Effects Settings under System>Preferences ?
[22:44] <desertc> Al2O3: http://www.zareason.com/shop/home.php  There are a dozen options there.
[22:44] <free1> sauvin: so modprobe.conf is no longer in service?
[22:44] <chester_martins> how can amarok organize my music folder auto??
[22:44] <andi5> Tidus: ok... (i have never tried the dvd)
[22:45] <dkulchenko> chester_martins: stop
[22:45] <sauvin> free1, I'm on debian right now and don't seem to have a modprobe.conf.
[22:45] <Ogre2020> it says no such file or directory
[22:45] <JJtech> !DVD
[22:45] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[22:45] <chester_martins> ok
[22:45] <Al2O3> actually I see 11, and only one is the gOS system, and clicking on customize of that system provides only 4 options non of which are case options.
[22:45] <chester_martins> sorry
[22:45] <sauvin> Ogre2020, try this: cd /media
[22:46] <free1> sauvin: I'm on gutsy, but I'm sure of it that fiesty had a modprobe.conf
[22:46] <Ogre2020> im their now
[22:46] <sauvin> Ogre2020, Then try this: cd My<TAB><ENTER>
[22:46] <Ogre2020> ok
[22:46] <andi5> modprobe.conf sounds linux2.4'ish to me, but well...
[22:46] <desertc> Al2O3: They will load whatever OS you want on there.
[22:46] <Al2O3> Its kinda a neat idea, to promote and help liux that way, but folks need to package into media center boxes not home under-desk PC configurations.  The idea of an empty box is silly.
[22:46] <Ogre2020> no suhc file or directory
[22:46] <Al2O3> desertc: I think you are missing my point bro, I'm looking for the gOS system in a smaller footprint/box.
[22:46] <nicolah> is there a way to remote-control a streaming server ?
[22:47] <Al2O3> not some other OS on it.
[22:47] <sauvin> My ubuntu partition also has no modprobe.conf.
[22:47] <desertc> Al2O3: They will load the gOS on the smaller form factor.
[22:47] <Nedt__> Hello, is this a place ( and maybe a time ) to get help on issue with Ubuntu+dvb tv card ?
[22:47] <juano__> anda
[22:47] <sauvin> Ogre2020, you're currently standing on /media ?
[22:47] <Al2O3> I'm not after gOS, I'm after the computer with a different form factor.
[22:47] <CHC> hello
[22:47] <Al2O3> Thanks anyway.
[22:47] <wckdkl0wn> what program would i use in linux to edit a flash file?
[22:47] <Ogre2020> root@PC:/media
[22:47] <desertc> Al2O3: Do you not see the two small form factor PCs on the page I linked?
[22:47] <sauvin> Ogre2020, do an ls
[22:48] <Ogre2020> ls
[22:48] <Ogre2020> oops
[22:48] <Ogre2020> lol
[22:48] <ToddEDM> hey guys, i got Kubuntu installed, but i cant get the wireless card to work, what can i do to get it going?????
[22:48] <ikonia> ToddEDM: tell us more about the problem
[22:48] <desertc> !wifi | ToddEDM
[22:48] <ubotu> ToddEDM: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[22:48]  * sauvin thinks
[22:48] <Ogre2020> cdrom cdrom0
[22:48] <towlie> have any of you installed the falling leaves plugin
[22:48] <Ogre2020> in two different blues
[22:48] <sauvin> Ogre2020, is there anything in cdrom or cdrom0?
[22:49] <Slart> ciacon: seems like this is a known problem with gutsy.. many laptops apparently use the same sound chip
[22:49] <hal9k2010> hello all
[22:49] <NIMBY>  Hi, has only started using linux 2 days ago, and have been following lots of guides on how to get my Hauppauge dvr-1110 dvb card to work but can only get an analog picture and no sound, could anyone help ?
[22:49] <JJHathoway> I recently got a 22 inch monitor and tried to edit the available resolutions, but the native 1680x1050 resolution still wont appear  (I used dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to try this but it did not work) any suggestions?
[22:49] <Ogre2020> not for doing dir checks, ill lok with ls real quick
[22:49] <ciacon> Slart: how can I revert that install??
[22:49] <sauvin> Ogre2020, I don't understand.
[22:49] <Slart> ciacon: there are people reporting success by compiling alsa from source.. but that's not really recommended..
[22:49] <gan|y|med> PriceChild: cause the default one is too slow. and i wanna use cfs
[22:49] <ikonia> NIMBY do you get sound on anything else other than TV's is that card fully supported ?
[22:50] <andi5> JJHathoway: i suppose your graphics card supports that resolution?
[22:50] <Slart> ciacon: what have you done so far? done any "sudo make install" ?
[22:50] <NIMBY> sound eleswhere works fine
[22:50] <JJHathoway> yes...i am actually in windows right now in the native 1680x1050 resolution
[22:50] <ciacon> Slart: sadly =(
[22:50] <Ogre2020> no, they look empty
[22:50] <desertc> NIMBY: What do you mean, that there is no sound, but it works fine?
[22:50] <Nedt__> If anyone has time to check out my probelm , I have up to date  info posted here>> http://futuremark.yougamers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67921   , I'll hang around and wait for any replies here, with fingers n toes crossed :-)
[22:50] <Slart> ciacon: in that case you can just do "sudo make uninstall"
[22:50] <ibanez> my desktop cube went away :(
[22:51] <sauvin> Ogre, as a regular user, do a mount
[22:51] <k9> hiya :p when i did like to apt-get install anything, there is an error " E: impossible de trouver le paquet xxxxx ( no way to find paquet )
[22:51] <andi5> JJHathoway: have you looked at /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[22:51] <desertc> Nedt__: Post the same to the Ubuntu Forums
[22:51] <sauvin> Ogre2020, as a regular user, do a mount, see if /dev/hdc is mounted.
[22:51] <ZEA> is anyone able to download from sourceforge?
[22:51] <k9> anyone could help? Ubuntu 7.10
[22:51] <ikonia> ZEA: yes
[22:51] <ToddEDM> ikonia:  the wireless just doesnt work, its a linksys wmp54g wireless card
[22:51] <ikonia> k9: ask the question
[22:51] <Ogre2020> what do you mean as a regular user
[22:51] <desertc> !ask | k9
[22:51] <ubotu> k9: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[22:51] <ciacon> Slart: cool - let's see - I hope to be back in 3 mins or so - I'll keep you posted
[22:51] <Nedt__> I have desert :-)
[22:51] <Slart> ciacon: I'll be here
[22:51] <sauvin> Ogre2020, I thought I saw you logged in as root.
[22:51] <andi5> ZEA: there are a lot of sf mirrors, so i doubt that sf is down :-)
[22:51] <NIMBY> there is no sound on the anaolg picture and I cant get any digital channels either
[22:51] <Ogre2020> probly
[22:51] <ikonia> ToddEDM: come on, more info, does it show up as a device ? how are you trying to configure it, are you using encyption, what version of ubuntu, etc, give us info
[22:51] <sauvin> Ogre2020, what's your command prompt look like?
[22:51] <ciacon> Slart: ;-)   and off I go ;-)
[22:52] <d1n0> im having problems with my two logitech bluetooth units, works fine in xubuntu, but only one of them works in ubuntu, and when both connected its the dinovo edge working... but this is not a problem in xubuntu! anyone have any ideas? i am registred so i can be /msg'ed if anyone wants to help
[22:52] <Ogre2020> root@PC:
[22:52] <desertc> NIMBY: Is the channel muted in ALSA?
[22:52] <PriceChild> gan|y|med, I'm willing to bet 95% of any performance increase you would get would be placebo
[22:52] <sauvin> Ogre2020, type exit
[22:52] <Ogre2020> ok
[22:52] <ikonia> d1n0: what does bluetooth manager show ?
[22:52] <JJHathoway> andi5:  no i havent, what does that tell me?  (i am actually in the process of upgrading to 7.10 by downloading the new image because the regular upgrade failed every time for me, so i wont be able to check it)
[22:52] <ikonia> d1n0: do you get asked to pair ?
[22:52] <sauvin> Ogre2020, are you still in the terminal?
[22:52] <Ogre2020> ahh, my lil window is gone
[22:52] <PriceChild> gan|y|med, and if you use a custom kernel, please don't get support here as it WILL cause unforseen problems we can't predict unless you know exactly what you're doing.
[22:52] <Ogre2020> no
[22:53] <sauvin> Ogre2020, you need to find a regular terminal.
[22:53] <Ogre2020> im at the gOS desktop
[22:53] <sauvin> (what's gOS?)
[22:53] <ikonia> Ogre2020: why are you trying to get GOS support ?
[22:53] <ToddEDM> i dont know if it shows up as a device no encryption and im using 7.10 kubuntu, it didnt work in ubuntu either
[22:53] <d1n0> ikonia: i dont have ubuntu installed because of this, i had xubuntu before getting some new hardware, but i only had it because unbuntu couldnt handle my bluetooth devices together
[22:53] <NIMBY> tbh not sure on that point, I would like to get the dvb part sorted, so have been concentrating on that more than the sound
[22:53] <Tidus> gOS is essentially a google branded ubuntu
[22:53] <Ogre2020> becase its built on ubuntu
[22:53] <d1n0> but seriously, anyone who know what i can do, please msg, i cant pay attention to everything in here
[22:53] <ikonia> d1n0: then we cannot help if you can't trouble shoot
[22:53] <xcasex> Tidus: it has nothing at all to do with google
[22:53] <ikonia> Ogre2020: its not ubuntu thoiugh, this channel is for ubuntu support
[22:54] <sauvin> Um, I don't know a damn thing about a 'google-branded ubuntu'
[22:54] <andi5> JJHathoway: it may list your supported modes, error messages and stuff like that... just start there :)  you may also add your resolution into /etc/X11/xorg.conf directly if you know how
[22:54] <xcasex> i repeat, gOS has nothign at all to do with google.
[22:54] <Ogre2020> and gOS suport says reinstall
[22:54] <Toma-> gOS doesnt even run gnome either
[22:54] <gan|y|med> PriceChild:  see, if u cannot help me, fine. but don't exclude me cause sth is non-standard. i get this enough with another os
[22:54] <desertc> Ogre2020: The gOS computers have 24/7 telephone support.
[22:54] <ikonia> Orfeous: then follow gOS advice
[22:54] <sauvin> Toma-, what DOES it run?
[22:54] <ciacon> Slart: time for the reboot - be right back - I hope ;~)
[22:54] <Slart> ciacon: let's hope so

[22:54] <ikonia> gan|y|med: if you use a custom kernel, this is not the best palce to get support
[22:54] <PriceChild> gan|y|med, I'm not excluding you. Please take into account what I have said. Making your own won't make things faster. Making your own will make things break.

[22:55] <Nedt__> NIMBY - Looks like you have similar problem to me >>  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3837323#post3837323
[22:55] <Cpudan80> ikonia: How?
[22:55] <Toma-> sauvin➔ google it
[22:55] <ikonia> Cpudan80: ahhh sorry, miss-read, no
[22:55] <JJHathoway> andi5: Yeah i will try to manually edit once I get 7.10 installed, but isn't that essentially what dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does?  (maybe the upgrade will magically fix it...)
[22:55] <jonaskoelker> question: I have two ogg files, song.ogg and guitar.ogg, that I want to mix together to one ogg files containing them both played simultaneously; how can I do this?
[22:55] <ikonia> Cpudan80: ubuntu is an OS, not a file system
[22:55] <phaedra> sauvin, Enlightenment 17
[22:55] <sauvin> Oh.
[22:55] <Tidus> PriceChild, actually... making my own kernel made some of my games run better.  almost 10% fps increase due to me removing some scheduler latency
[22:55] <Slart> jonaskoelker: try audacity
[22:55] <Cpudan80> ikonia:  What I mean is, can you use Ubuntu to format an iPod
[22:55] <Slart> !info audacity
[22:55] <ubotu> audacity: A fast, cross-platform audio editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.3-1build1 (gutsy), package size 2321 kB, installed size 6832 kB
[22:55] <Cpudan80> I have an iPod with a bunch of junk on it - want to get rid of it all
[22:56] <sauvin> PriceChild, rolling your own kernel does not necessarily break things BUT there are some caveats and some cautions.
[22:56] <D4rkB34n> soundray, r u there?
[22:56] <ikonia> Cpudan80: you can put a file system on it, but it may not work with itunes anymore
[22:56] <LjL> jonaskoelker: use any multitrack audio editor. Audacity is multitrack.
[22:56] <ikonia> sauvin: it breaks ubuntu controll and supportabtiliy
[22:56] <gan|y|med> you know how much time we are wasting by telling each other what we can't do
[22:56] <D4rkB34n> open office impress 2.3.0 hangs -> ubuntu 7.10; anyone can help.....
[22:56] <xcasex> you know if someone could just put the libXm.so.3 file up for download i'd become a very happy camper
[22:56] <ikonia> gan|y|med: the don't argue, don't ask for support
[22:56] <Tidus> jonaskoelker, use audacity
[22:56] <k9-Ubuntu> apt-get install courier-base courier-authdaemon courier-authmysql courier-imap courier-pop < have no way, could help me?
[22:57] <sauvin> One of the things I miss about ubuntu now that I'm running mostly debian is the fact that ubuntu supplies a low latency kernel in its repos. Debian doesn't.
[22:57] <gan|y|med> pls don't answer
[22:57] <ciacon> Slart: I'm back - I'll start a post mortum
[22:57] <rbs-tito> Is there a way to create a connection in network-manager (gnome, gutsy) with a static IP address?
[22:57] <desertc> Rolling your own kernel goes against the idea that Ubuntu will provide a simple solution that is easy to use and easy to support.  There are other distros that cater more specifically to the "roll your own everything" ideal.
[22:57] <xst> Does anyone know when the latest ATI drivers (the ones released last night with support for kernel 2.6.23) will be available for the "restricted manager"?
[22:57] <Slart> ciacon: still no sound I guess =)
[22:57] <Jack_Sparrow> D4rkB34n: Is that the latest from the Ubuntu Repos?
[22:57] <NIMBY> Nedt I've managed to find the firmware but after that I couldnt understand what was needed, as it refers to folders that ubuntu doesnt use and it doesnt say what to do, it talks about editing the modprobe.conf file but it doesnt say where its located etc
[22:57] <ikonia> gan|y|med: please don't ask
[22:57] <andi5> rbs-tito: sure
[22:57] <D4rkB34n> yes
[22:57] <rbs-tito> andi5: How does one go about it?
[22:57] <Tidus> desertc, simple and easy != performance...
[22:58] <D4rkB34n> Jack_Sparrow, yes
[22:58] <k9-Ubuntu> ...
[22:58] <Slart> xst: don't hold your breath.. ubuntu is faster than debian but things are still tested before release.... (I hope) =)
[22:58] <Bugson> maybe someone now where is the folder with network monitor tray icons?
[22:58] <rbs-tito> School has a wireless network, no encryption but my MAC address has been assigned to an IP, but there is no DHCP server
[22:58] <Nedt__> NIMBY- yes i found the firmware too,,i have it in my post on ubuntu, outdated guide made things tricky :-)
[22:58] <ciacon> Slart: I am running Kubuntu
[22:58] <Jack_Sparrow> D4rkB34n: Or was it from outside synaptic etc?
[22:58] <Bruno_> mpeters: how did you start sshd again?
[22:58] <gan|y|med> it was a ubuntu specific qu btw. it was about how ubuntu sets up /dev/sda instead of hda. but i guess u just read custom and then refused to read the rest-
[22:58] <desertc> Tidus: I won't argue with you that the Ubuntu OS isn't the fastest one.
[22:58] <PriceChild> rbs-tito, then ask the network administrator what ip/gateway etc, you should be using.
[22:58] <Tidus> yes, it 'just works' and it's a "good thing" but still the kernel leaves a lot to be desired.
[22:58] <mpeters> Bruno1: /etc/init.d/sshd start
[22:58] <Tidus> on every distro i always custom the kernel
[22:59] <Slart> ciacon: ok.. shouldn't make any difference I supposed.. both ubuntu and kubuntu use alsa I think
[22:59] <Patchak> newbie question : when I install a new program from download manager in ubuntu, where does it install?
[22:59] <ciacon> Slart: sofar it tells me, that it can't open libraries in arts - is that a case of apt-get install arts-thingemagig??
[22:59] <rbs-tito> PriceChild: I will get the settings, I just don't know how to do it in network manager
[22:59] <PriceChild> Patchak, different bits go in different places
[22:59] <desertc> Tidus: Ubuntu isn't like every other distro.  Thankfully.
[22:59] <D4rkB34n> Jack_Sparrow: was from synaptic, i upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 today and openoffice doesn't work
[22:59] <jonaskoelker> ok, thanks to all of you who suggested audacity -- I will try it out :)
[22:59] <PriceChild> Patchak, documentation in one place, executables in another, icons in another etc.
[22:59] <k9-Ubuntu> apt-get install courier-base courier-authdaemon courier-authmysql courier-imap courier-pop < have no way, could help me? plz..
[22:59] <Patchak> PriceChild, hummm ok... how can I find where the executable is?
[22:59] <Tidus> i know.  it's closer to debian testing than anything else.
[22:59] <Slart> ciacon: don't know, haven't used arts before.. but it sounds like a reasonable solution
[22:59] <Jack_Sparrow> D4rkB34n: thanks... I dont have an answer. It answered a question I had earlier.
[22:59] <PriceChild> Patchak, what program is it?
[22:59] <andi5> rbs-tito: ahh, i did not understand that you meant a wireless connection... i am not sure then
[23:00] <Tidus> but it dont matter what distro i use... slackware, suse, mandriva... i'll always roll my own kernel for latency reasons
[23:00] <PriceChild> !offtopic
[23:00] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[23:00] <mpeters> Bruno1: actually that should be "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start"
[23:00] <D4rkB34n> Jack_Sparrow: i will re install from the original pack
[23:00] <Bruno_> !sshd
[23:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sshd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:00] <k9-Ubuntu> !apt-get
[23:00] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[23:00] <Slart> Bugson: have you checked in /usr/share/icons or something like that?
[23:00] <Tidus> to install sshd: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[23:00] <sauvin> tidus, ubuntu DOES provide a low latency kernel in the repos.
[23:00] <Tidus> tried it.
[23:00] <PriceChild> !info openssh-server > Bruno_ (see the pm from ubotu)
[23:00] <rbs-tito> :( Sucks. I'm probably going to have to reconfigure my connection every time I change networks
[23:00] <dasos> I pressed the [windows key + r], now my screen is kinda fuzzy and the desktop moves around as i move my mouse, how do i revert this? (7.10 using standard gnome desktop)
[23:00] <Bugson> Slart yes but maybe I missed it
[23:00] <Slart> Bugson: or try a "find /usr | grep -i icon"
[23:00] <Tidus> still compiled optimized for size, not speed.
[23:01] <Bugson> oki I'll try it
[23:01] <Patchak> PriceChild, deluge bittorrent
[23:01] <sauvin> Slart, what's Bugson after now?
[23:01] <bugSmasher> How do i file bugs on universe - launchpad.net or with whoever produced the package?
[23:01] <Bruno_> PriceChild:thanks, but i want to know how i start it...
[23:01] <Patchak> I need to assing torrent links to that program, don,t know where it is
[23:01] <PriceChild> Patchak, applications > internet > deluge bittorrent
[23:01] <Slart> sauvin: icons for network manager something
[23:01] <PriceChild> Patchak, or deluge-torrent from the command line
[23:01] <PriceChild> Bruno_, if its installed, its started
[23:01] <Bugson> the same
[23:01] <sauvin> Still?
[23:01] <Bugson> yes
[23:01] <mpeters> Bruno_: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[23:02] <Patchak> PriceChild, but when the downlaod manager asks which program to use... I guess it looks for the path of the executable??
[23:02] <Bruno_> PriceChild: thanks
[23:02] <andi5> rbs-tito: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/5364 might have some info, i have not read it (completely)
[23:02] <Bruno_> mpeters: thanks
[23:02] <PriceChild> Patchak, a handy hint... type in "deluge" into a terminal then press the <tab> key... it should autocomplete it or show you possible options
[23:02] <PriceChild> Patchak, /usr/bin/deluge-torrent
[23:02] <NewUserr> he guys i am using ubuntu now, is it possible to install windows on my computer too or do i have to remove ubuntu first?
[23:02] <ciacon> Slart: I have an screen-shot img on my srv in a sec...
[23:02] <PriceChild> Patchak, the command "whereis deluge-torrent" tells you where a few things are.
[23:02] <ikonia> NewUserr: dual boot is fine
[23:03] <PriceChild> !dualboot | NewUserr
[23:03] <ubotu> NewUserr: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[23:03] <Pelo> NewUserr,  you just need to make a new partiton on your hdd for windows,  but you'll have to reinstall grub afterwards
[23:03] <Bugson> I got ot :D
[23:03] <Bugson> finaly :D
[23:03] <doctormo> Anyone got a Blackberry phone
[23:03] <doctormo> ?
[23:03] <Jack_Sparrow> NewUserr: dual boot is fine.. it is a bit easier to have xp on first... especially, when it usually needs to be reinstalled more often
[23:04] <Bugson> sauvin, Slart, /usr/share/icons/Human/24x24/status  thanks guys for help ;)
[23:04] <heddyfran> Good lord, this is a busy channel
[23:04] <NewUserr> Jack_Sparrow yes i know thats why i am asking but i try out dual boot thnx
[23:04] <Pelo> heddyfran,  you should see it when it is realy hoping
[23:04] <heddyfran> Oh lordy!  hehe
[23:04] <doctormo> heddyfran: too many joinings and leavings
[23:04] <ciacon> Slart: http://ciacon.dyndns.org:8001/arts-prob.png
[23:05] <Slart> ciacon: looking...
[23:05] <sauvin> Some IRC clients can mask joins and parts.
[23:05] <heddyfran> Well I've just installed Ubuntu 7.10 over RH Version 9.0....I have a dual boot machine here
[23:05] <NIMBY> can I mask join/parts etc in xchat ?
[23:06] <Pelo> heddyfran,  congradulations,  welcome to the madhouse
[23:06] <ciacon> Slart: 13x downloaded... I hope someone can help out..
[23:06] <sauvin> Nimby, maybe.... let me look.
[23:06] <doctormo> done
[23:06] <Panzerboy__> hey
[23:06] <Patchak> PriceChild, weird, cause when I type whereis deluge-torrent itdoes not return anything
[23:06] <Panzerboy__> anybody running hardy ?
[23:06] <Pelo> NIMBY,  right click the channel tab , select hide join/part
[23:06] <doctormo> Now, I need folks who have a Blackberry to give me a hand
[23:06] <PriceChild> !hardy | Panzerboy__
[23:06] <ubotu> Panzerboy__: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[23:06] <Pelo> Panzerboy__,  there is no hardy yet
[23:06] <heddyfran> Thank you Pelo, so far, it's a very nice install.  :)
[23:06] <Bruno_> mpeters: it still says connection refused
[23:06] <josephe> sauvin: they just dont tell you
[23:07] <sauvin> Nimby, Settings->Advanced->Text Events
[23:07] <Slart> ciacon: well.. I'm just guessing now.. it's telling you a library is missing and then tells you to remove the library mentioned.. you would perhaps be better off asking someone that's using KDE
[23:07] <Panzerboy__> okay, the reason i asked is that i wanted to see what kernel is hardy running at the moment
[23:07] <Gnea> !dmix
[23:07] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[23:07] <josephe> NIMBLY: look in config for "dont show joins/parts"
[23:07] <infinitycircuit> Panzerboy__, there is a thread in the forums from a couple of weeks ago about hardy and updating your sources
[23:07] <mpeters> Bruno_: does "sudo netstat -atnp show sshd" as running on the remote machine?
[23:07] <ciacon> Slart: am just about to post in the #kubuntu - you might like to join ;-)
[23:07] <Pelo> Panzerboy__, thre is no hardy atm,  it's too soon
[23:07] <Panzerboy__> i need 2.6.24 in gutsy and i'm too lazy to compile my own :P
[23:07] <infinitycircuit> Panzerboy__, just compile it.  it's really simple
[23:08] <ikonia> Panzerboy__: why do you need it
[23:08] <Pelo> heddyfran, don'T do that again
[23:08] <Panzerboy__> infinitycircuit: well, that's the problem, my shitty wireless usb stick doesn't work with the gutsy kernel
[23:08] <infinitycircuit> Panzerboy__, do you need to force enable hpet?
[23:08] <Nimby> this is the ubuntu version and it doesnt seem to have those options, just preferences
[23:08] <ikonia> Panzerboy__: there is no need for that language !
[23:08] <Slart> ciacon: *shudder*... join kubuntu.. but those guys are crazy.. ;)
[23:08] <andi5> ciacon: have you installed libasound2?
[23:08] <MasterShrek> Panzerboy__, then just compile it yourself, dont be lazy if it something you really want
[23:08] <sauvin> Nimby, are you running xchat-gnome?
[23:08] <ciacon> andi5: haven'
[23:08] <Panzerboy__> ikonia: sorry, but it is s****y :)
[23:08] <ciacon> t
[23:08] <infinitycircuit> Panzerboy__, oh in that case just compile it yourself.  i'm using 2.6.24-rc3-mm1 now and it's fine
[23:09] <Panzerboy__> okay
[23:09] <somerville32> Does WoW run on Ubuntu?
[23:09] <Bruno_> mpeters: how can i tell? i know he has sshd running
[23:09] <heddyfran> Sorry Pelo, just have not been on IRC in a while.  I learnt IRC commands back in the early 90s
[23:09] <init> it's pretty easy to wine WoW on ubuntu
[23:09] <Slart> somerville32: as the people in #winehq or check the wine application database.. appdb.winehq.org or something like that
[23:09] <MasterShrek> !wow | somerville32
[23:09] <andi5> ciacon: it is probably easier to just install arts..., well
[23:09] <ubotu> somerville32: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[23:09] <mpeters> Bruno_: If you know sshd is running then it's most likely firewall that's stopping you
[23:10] <Pelo> heddyfran, this is a support channel,  pinging msging etc ppl whitout asking is rude and disruptive , stick to the in channel stuff
[23:10] <Panzerboy__> infinitycircuit: tim gardner has it compiled on his ppa :P
[23:10] <Nimby> sauvin yes, its xchat-gnome
[23:10] <Panzerboy__> infinitycircuit: too bad it's only amd64
[23:10] <heddyfran> Thank you Pelo.  :)
[23:10] <ctp> hi folks. anyone here can explain me the difference between desktop and alternate installation cd?
[23:10]  * Pelo is getting grouchy in his old age 
[23:10] <Bruno_> mpeters: how can i m,ake it so that the firewall doesnt block scp
[23:10] <sauvin> Nimby, you might be happier with regular xchat. Try sudo apt-get install xchat
[23:10] <Panzerboy__> ctp: the alternate is not a live cd
[23:10] <amason> hi guys, i've broken my samba install accidentally by removing the /etc/samba dir, but neither sudo apt-get install --reinstall samba or dpkg-reconfigure seem to restore the directory and it's contents back to the default
[23:11] <MasterShrek> ctp, nothing really except the alternate uses a text installer and the desktop is a live cd with a gui installer
[23:11] <Panzerboy__> ctp:  and iirc it has only a text mode installer
[23:11] <mpeters> Bruno_: you need to open up TCP Port 22
[23:11] <infinitycircuit> amason, what if you try apt-get remove --purge samba smbclient and then apt-get install samba smbclient
[23:11] <Pelo> ctp,  desktop will let you try out the distro as if it was installed,   alt cd only has a text based installer on it , generaly lightter on resources during the install
[23:11] <Nimby> thanks sauvin, I'm used to mirc so its all new to me :) will download the regular verion
[23:11] <Nimby> *version
[23:11] <MasterShrek> the end result of the install will be the same ctp
[23:11] <juano__> amason: sudo dpkg -l | grep samba
[23:11] <Bruno_> mpeters: how do that?
[23:11] <andi5> amason: go to /var/lib/dpkg/info and search the files for /etc/samba, then reinstall those packages
[23:11] <Panzerboy__> Bruno_: it's better to change the port on which ssh is listening, than to open 22, IMHO
[23:11] <sauvin> I remember mirc. HATED the script language.
[23:11] <ctp> Panzerboy__ + MasterShrek: ok, so alternate is my choice ;-)
[23:12] <amason> infi\
[23:12] <Bruno_> mpeters: ok so how do i do that, change the port?
[23:12] <Panzerboy__> a lot of dictionary attacks on 22
[23:12] <ibanez> woo
[23:12] <ibanez> got me nick
[23:12] <amason> infinitycircuit: juano__ andi5i will try that thanks
[23:12]  * sauvin ponders installing mirc under wine
[23:12]  * Tidus thwaps sauvin.
[23:12]  * Pelo thinks sauvin needs to take a vacation 
[23:12] <ctp> kubuntu and ubuntu only differ in kde vs gnome? i'm a kde user so i think kubuntu alternate cd is the right one for me
[23:12] <Jack_Sparrow> sauvin: Sad... so so sad
[23:13] <sauvin> hee hee
[23:13] <niere> hi
[23:13] <Pelo> ctp, sounds about right
[23:13] <MasterShrek> ctp, go for it, kde is better btw =)
[23:13] <niere> is anyone here using fusesmb with feisty or gutsy?
[23:13] <rbs-tito> andi5: Thanks for the link. It looks like I'll just have to switch backends three times per day!!]
[23:13] <ciacon> andi5, Slart: #kubuntu ist tellimt nort - andi5 - you thought apt-get arts is the thing to do??
[23:13]  * Pelo thinks MasterShrek  is gunning for a kick 
[23:13] <sauvin> Truthfully, I looked high, low, left, right and upside down for a decent IRC client for Windows. There don't seem to BE any such critter. XChat for Windows comes... close.
[23:13] <mpeters> Bruno_: In /etc/ssh/sshd_config, edit the line "Port 22" to the port you want and then restart sshd "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart"
[23:13] <dahitokiri> how far behind is xubuntu from ubuntu in terms of development?
[23:13] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[23:13] <Tidus> sauvin, you can use irssi on windows :P
[23:14] <world_citizen> can one scan a text page and convert it into text in ubuntu
[23:14] <andi5> ciacon: if arts is missing, then "sudo apt-get install arts" should help, yes
[23:14] <sauvin> MasterShrek, the choice of desktop is a matter of personal choice. I use KDE but recognise that many folks vastly prefer gnome.
[23:14] <zeus21> hi all
[23:14] <world_citizen> I can scan but cannot convert it to text
[23:14] <Bruno_> mpeters: to what port should i change it to? which one is allowed?
[23:14] <rbs-tito> dahitokiri: Big features seem to be one release behind.
[23:14] <mpeters> Bruno_: The firewall will still need to allow the port which you change ssh to listen on though.
[23:14] <Pelo> dahitokiri, it's not a qustion of being behind,  xubuntu is made to use less resources, it runs xcfe instead of gnome
[23:14] <ctp> MasterShrek: definitely it is. i have to setup 16 boxes at one time. kubuntu installing via fai is my goal
[23:14] <andi5> rbs-tito: i am sorry.... you might rather try to hack your configuration into /etc/network/interfaces
[23:14] <d1n0> sauvin: why do you prefer KDE?
[23:14] <Panzerboy__> Bruno_: anything above 1024
[23:14] <Pelo> world_citizen,  you need to instal OCR or whatever it is called, check in synaptic
[23:14] <sauvin> dln0, it's what I've used for years, starting way back in the RH days.
[23:15] <niere> i'm having trouble with fusesmb when i config it to use a username/password on a specific server
[23:15] <mpeters> Bruno_: and it's probably the firewall at your friends end which will need changing.
[23:15] <dahitokiri> Pelo, i understand that. but there are certain apps that ubuntu offers that xubuntu might not. i think it's just easier to install ubuntu and switch to xfce4 from there
[23:15] <rbs-tito> andi5: Not really worth it, I switch networks way to often. No need to be sorry, it is as much my fault as it is yours. I'm going to see if I can lend a hand to the network-manager guys
[23:15] <niere> without that fusesmb works just fine (anonymously), but not with a username
[23:15] <Bruno_> Panzerboy__: ok
[23:15] <Tidus> dahitokiri, the repos are the same
[23:15] <world_citizen> Pelo thank for that
[23:15] <sauvin> dln0, I like KDE for the way it "looks" and "feels", nothing more concrete than that.
[23:15] <Bruno_> mpeters: so i should tell him to change his sshd-config file too?
[23:15] <Bruno_> mpeters: to the same port as me?
[23:15] <dahitokiri> sauvin, familiar like windows, maybe?
[23:15] <world_citizen> But can you tell me the name of the OCR that would work in Ubuntu
[23:15] <dahitokiri> s/like/to/
[23:15] <Pelo> dahitokiri, defaults apps are one thing but you can run all gnome /kde aps in xubuntu , it doesn'T realy matter,  required libs will be installed to let you run them
[23:15] <sauvin> dahitokiri, I hated Windows.
[23:16] <Tidus> dahitokiri, all you have to do is enable universe and you have the same vast amount of software
[23:16] <dahitokiri> Pelo, Tidus alright, thanks
[23:16] <voraistos> Hey. I am using edubuntu from a thin client. (with the integrated ltsp support). It wouldnt work so i found out how to force a vga config from it. (something like xserver=vga in lts.conf). thing is, it kinda gets on my nerves. the graphics card is an sis550 (SoC) graphic family sis315, there are good drivers out there, i just wonder how to use them ?
[23:16] <Pelo> world_citizen,  jsut do a search for OCR in synaptic, and the appropriate pacakges will be listed
[23:16] <ciacon> andi5: It already is installed... should I remove and install it - or is there another way?
[23:16] <troseph> Unable to get DVD to play. Could it just be the disc? Here is my log from VLC http://pastebin.com/f142f4c24
[23:16] <D4rkB34n> hi there
[23:16] <D4rkB34n> any one can help....
[23:16] <mpeters> Bruno_: whether you change the port or not, you'll still need to change the firewall. The actual port doesn't make much difference.
[23:17] <andi5> ciacon: does the same hold for the library that your screenshot complained about (libasound2)?
[23:17] <Panzerboy__> night guys
[23:17] <world_citizen> Pelo thank for this, but one or two more things
[23:17] <rbs-tito> andi5: I didn't know nm was a gnome project
[23:17] <voraistos> VLC doesnt read certain discs
[23:17] <Panzerboy__> time to sleep :)
[23:17] <juano__> is there any repository for audacious-skin package ?
[23:17] <juano__> audacious-skinS that is
[23:17] <Pelo> voraistos, I think what you need can be acheived by  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:17] <world_citizen> My screen saver jams that computer what to do
[23:17] <andi5> rbs-tito: otherwise you had not tried to use it? ;-)
[23:17] <sauvin> troseph, what is this DVD?
[23:17] <Pelo> !dvd | troseph
[23:17] <ubotu> troseph: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[23:17] <ciacon> andi5: libasound.so.2
[23:17] <world_citizen> Also when an application jams the computer what to do?
[23:17] <voraistos> Pelo: that wouldnt work. All i want is to reconfigure the thin clients, not the actual xserver
[23:17] <D4rkB34n> i reinstall openoffice 2.3.0 on ubuntu 7.10 from synaptic, but i don't have the shortcuts at applications -> office
[23:18] <Bruno_> mpeters: panzerboy_ said anything above 1024 is allowed, so if i change it to 1025 it should work without changing the firewall right?
[23:18] <Panzerboy__> Bruno_: you still need to allow incoming traffic to that port
[23:18] <john_priest> what would chmod 000 do to a file?
[23:18] <Jack_Sparrow> world_citizen: select single screen saver not all at random.. it may just be a few that are a prob
[23:18] <Panzerboy__> from the firewall
[23:18] <D4rkB34n> how can i refresh the menu bar?
[23:18] <rbs-tito> andi5: This is strange, the upstream bug is marked as resolved
[23:18] <john_priest> who would have permissions to that file
[23:18] <voraistos> troseph: stop it with the bot, VLC comes with libdvdcss hardcoded
[23:18] <mpeters> Bruno_: It's not nescessarily the case that above 1024 is allowed
[23:18] <D4rkB34n> i reinstall openoffice 2.3.0 on ubuntu 7.10 from synaptic, but i don't have the shortcuts at applications -> office, how can i refresh menu bar?
[23:18] <Pelo> world_citizen, for the screensaver try another one, or check that is isn'T monitor off that is enable and causing the trouble , for dejamming,   alt+f2  type xkill  , then click on the app with the mouse
[23:18] <ExalleR> is it possible to run Ubuntu and Windows simultaneusly?
[23:19] <rbs-tito> andi5: And the screenshots on the NM homepage have a "VPN connections" menu
[23:19] <Pelo> world_citizen,  also use the name of the person you talk to in each line, it makes it easier to follow
[23:19] <rbs-tito> ExalleR: As in, at the same time or on the same machine
[23:19] <Nimby> I gave up on vlc in 7.10 it was so jumpy
[23:19] <troseph> !not helpful | pelo
[23:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about not helpful - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:19] <mpeters> Bruno_: In fact I would hope that's not the case.
[23:19] <sauvin> ExalleR, do you have two or more computers? :D
[23:19] <D4rkB34n> ExalleR: yes
[23:19] <Bruno_> Panzerboy__:  ok, how can i do that?
[23:19] <DeviantSolution> D4rkB34n: System/Preferences/Main Menu
[23:19] <Panzerboy__> ExalleR: not at the same time without one of them running in a virtual machine :)
[23:19] <D4rkB34n> ExalleR: you need vmware
[23:19] <Bruno_> mpeters:  no he just clarified i still need to allow it
[23:19] <andi5> rbs-tito: yes, as obsolete.... i have not checked the version numbers
[23:19] <octete> Hi guys, for a Intel Core 2 Duo, is it better to install the 386 version or the amd64? (I am worried about compatibility issues or lack of some packages for amd64)
[23:19] <troseph> sauvin: Kill Bill vol 2
[23:19] <Bruno_> mpeters:  to allow incomming traffic
[23:19] <gaten> im unable to copy a file larger than 4gb. the error i get is:  "File size limit exceeded (core dumped)" (using cp). how can i get around this (i was thinking about splitting the file into 2 seperate chunks (its 6gb), then copying the chunks to the desired disk and merging them)
[23:19] <ciacon> andi5: libasound.so.2... the shot was @ file:///home/ciacon/Desktop/arts-prob.png
[23:19] <rbs-tito> andi5: That bug is years old
[23:19] <ExalleR> okey.. thx!
[23:19] <andi5> rbs-tito: maybe the backports repository has something for you?
[23:20] <sauvin> troseph, I don't have that DVD, but it's recent enough it might be copy protected.
[23:20] <doctormo> gaten: what kind of file systems are you using?
[23:20] <rbs-tito> andi5: nm 0.7 /
[23:20] <rbs-tito> ?
[23:20] <mpeters> Bruno_: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
[23:20] <voraistos> octete: i thought those cpus were 32 bits ?
[23:20] <gaten> doctormo: ext2 and copying to fat32
[23:20] <ciacon> andi5: libasound.so.2... the shot was @ http://ciacon.dyndns.org:8001/arts-prob.png     dammn;-)
[23:20] <Pelo> octete, always better to install i386,   amd64 is missing some support for some propriatary drivers and flash and some other stuff
[23:20] <mpeters> Bruno_: iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 22 -j ACCEPT
[23:20] <andi5> ciacon: why do you flood me?
[23:20] <octete> voraistos, well, they support the 64 bit extensions, no?
[23:20] <doctormo> gaten: fat32 doesn't support files bigger than 4GB
[23:20] <troseph> sauvin: It's an original, do you mean it might just be encrypted?
[23:20] <andi5> ciacon: have you checked libasound2?
[23:20] <octete> Pelo, thanks, That's what I was worried about
[23:20] <ciacon> andi5: apt-get that?
[23:20] <voraistos> octete: if they are 32 bits cpu, 64 bits wont do much :P
[23:20] <DeviantSolution> octete: Intel. AMD. Does not compute. ^_^
[23:20] <gaten> doctormo: well that explains it. meh, thanks
[23:21] <Nimby> core duo is 64bit
[23:21] <sauvin> troseph, I mean it might be copy protected. I DO have movie DVDs I can't watch without doing something underhanded because the manufacturers deliberately introduced bad sectors.
[23:21] <octete> yeah, core duo is 64 bit
[23:21] <Tidus> Nimby, no, the core 1 duos aren't
[23:21] <voraistos> then its all god
[23:21] <Do``> could someone help with a crash? when i try running deluge (v0.5.6.96) it crashes instantly. the deluge dev guys said i should reinstall the python packages, because it's an ubuntu issue, but that didn't help :/
[23:21] <Tidus> c2d is
[23:21] <voraistos> god*
[23:21] <voraistos> good*
[23:21] <voraistos> damn it!
[23:21] <Pelo> do
[23:21] <doctormo> gaten: It's because it's 32bit addresses thus 4GB, it's the same reason you can only have 4GB of ram in a 32bit machine (not accounting for paging)
[23:21] <Bruno_> mpeters: Panzerboy__: thanks
[23:22] <Pelo> Do``,  try utorrent on wine or some other bittorrent client
[23:22] <_polto_> hello all
[23:22] <ciacon> Slart - are you still with us?
[23:22] <Do``> http://pastebin.com/m41cb4acb this is what deluge says when i start it
[23:22] <gaten> doctormo: yeah, i remember that now that you mention it.
[23:22] <Do``> Pelo: i want deluge
[23:22] <Tidus> octete, core 1 duo isn't 64 bit.  core 2 duo is
[23:22] <Slart> ciacon: still here.. anything new on the arts thingy?
[23:22] <troseph> sauvin: Ahh I think I'll just rip it to Mpeg an watch it that way. :)
[23:22] <doctormo> gaten: so even if you chop it up you couldn't put it back together on that file system anyway
[23:22] <andi5> doctormo: you can have as much ram as you want in your 32bit machine, but i suppose at max 3gig of them will be addressable (pci-e bus and whatever...)
[23:22] <voraistos> if you cat /proc/cpu it might say something about it.
[23:22] <octete> Tidus, sorry, I forgot to put the "2" there, I have the Core 2 Duo, but thanks anyway, I am going to stick to i386 as I don't want any compatibility issues
[23:23] <gaten> doctormo: yeah looks like im going to copy it to a ntfs fs
[23:23] <sauvin> dln0, I'm answering in public because the answers may help somebody else. As far as I'm aware, the differences between ubuntu, xubuntu and kubuntu would be in the desktop level; the base ubuntu system would be the same. I wouldn't expect to see hardware issues to differ between these different ubuntu dialects.
[23:23] <doctormo> andi5: er no, 4GB is addressable, anything more requires CPU memory paging support.
[23:23] <niere> bye
[23:23] <Nimby> I was under the impression the 32bit cpu's couldnt see beyond 3gb
[23:23] <MasterShrek> octete, i run 64 bit with no problems
[23:23] <sauvin> troseph, yes, that's kind of what I meant by "underhanded". How do you rip to mpeg?
[23:23] <ciacon> andi5: I found an arts package... problem is, when I try to install it - it tells me that it is already installed... is "apt-get remove arts" and "apt-get install arts" the way?
[23:23] <octete> MasterShrek, what about flash and all that stuff?
[23:24] <andi5> Nimby: ack... that is what i just said
[23:24] <doctormo> Nimby: that seems like a silly number, something to do with some machines specifically?
[23:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !purge
[23:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about purge - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:24] <troseph> sauvin: acidrip
[23:24] <octete> as in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#head-ff0a19a9ff23537e36b3cf9d40b2d8747bd45cd4
[23:24] <Pelo> Do``, remove all pyton and pyton libs completely ( that will get rid of config files)  remove deluge as well, then reinstall deluge and let it select which python files to install
[23:24] <sauvin> ciacon, ubuntu comes with ARTS installed.
[23:24] <rbs-tito> Nimby: The 3gb memory limit is a windows thing
[23:24] <Bruno_> mpeters: why did you not recommend to use port 22?
[23:24] <ciacon> sauvin: my one seams faulty
[23:24] <ciacon> slart: I found an arts package... problem is, when I try to install it - it tells me that it is already installed... is "apt-get remove arts" and "apt-get install arts" the way?
[23:24] <Do``> Pelo: i just did all that
[23:24] <Xsylotte> how to convert avi file to divx or something with less sie ?
[23:24] <Pelo> do
[23:24] <Xsylotte> *size
[23:24] <MasterShrek> octete, work fine for me, nspluginwrapper for flash, and im using an old version of blackdown java, which isnt really maintained anymore, but it works fine
[23:24] <sauvin> troseph, can you rip subtitles and/or subcaptions with it?
[23:25] <Do``> removed half system with it
[23:25] <Slart> ciacon: try adding the -purge switch when doing the uninstall.. it will delete all config files and such so you can make a fresh start
[23:25] <gregarei> Xsylotte: mencoder
[23:25] <Pelo> Do``,  did you remove or remove completely ?
[23:25] <mpeters> Bruno_: personally I would use 22, Panzerboy__ was against it
[23:25] <Xsylotte> gregarei, more info please.
[23:25] <Do``> Pelo: completely, including residual config
[23:25] <Pelo> Do``,  that's all I have for you
[23:25] <ciacon> Slart: Jolly good - the VERY THING we were looking for ;-)
[23:25] <Slart> ciacon: but that seems like a good thing.. I think you can even do a reinstall using synaptic
[23:25] <andi5> rbs-tito: are you sure about that?
[23:25] <gregarei> Xsylotte: http://www.google.com/search?q=mencoder&sourceid=mozilla2&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
[23:25] <Bruno_> mpeters: isnt it dangerous?
[23:25] <Pelo> Do``, did you try the verson of deluge that is in the repos or the one from the site ?
[23:25] <rbs-tito> andi5: Sure about what?
[23:25] <Xsylotte> gregarei, i've meant is it in synaptic, how to use it..etc etc..
[23:26] <Xsylotte> but thx
[23:26] <saeros> I have problems iptables
[23:26] <Do``> Pelo: the one on their site, built for ubuntu 7.10
[23:26] <saeros> Help
[23:26] <andi5> rbs-tito: that linux can use 4gb for ram?
[23:26] <Xsylotte> !ubotu mencoder
[23:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mencoder - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:26] <Nimby> in the guide to getting the dvb card to work it says "In order that the saa7134-svb module gets loaded at startup add following line"
[23:26] <Pelo> Do``,  try theone from the repos
[23:26] <mpeters> Bruno_: not using 22 will cut down on some noise in your logs, but it will not provide real security
[23:26] <rbs-tito> !ask saeros
[23:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask saeros - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:26] <MasterShrek> saeros, how can we help you if you dont tell is whats wrong
[23:26] <morphinex> hey folks, I can't seem to get my upgrade to gutsy to work
[23:26] <Pelo> saeros,  we need better questions
[23:26] <Nimby> "nstall saa7134 /sbin/modprobe  --ignore-install saa7134 && { /sbin/modprobe saa7134-alsa; } && { /sbin/modprobe saa7134-dvb;}"
[23:26] <morphinex> It keeps crashing in the middle of installing packages
[23:26] <mpeters> Bruno_: make sure you use strong passwords and disable root logins
[23:26] <Pelo> morphinex, get the alt install cd and upgrade from that
[23:26] <Nimby> in modprobe.conf  but this file doesnt exist
[23:26] <ikonia> Nimby: thats not an upragde command
[23:27] <saeros> modules
[23:27] <rbs-tito> andi5: I've used it in the past, and have never used 64bit Linux. I was told that it was a limitation on Windows operating systems
[23:27] <saeros> I have londing modules/
[23:27] <rbs-tito> andi5: EG) Vista 32 can use more than XP 32
[23:27] <mpeters> Bruno_: if possible use key authentication instead of passwords
[23:27] <saeros> in iptables
[23:27] <troseph> sauvin: not sure. I am just tryinh it now... I think I missed the libdvdcss libraries for playbacl
[23:27] <saeros> our no
[23:27] <Bruno_> mpeters: how do i do all that? (sorry for the trouble.. )
[23:27] <Pelo> saeros, pay attention , we can only answer cmplete questions and keep them to one line,  using the enterkey for punctuation makes you impossible to floow
[23:28] <andi5> rbs-tito: hm... i was under the hard impression that part of the 4 billion addresses are reserved by the hardware, but i am too lazy to google right now ;-)
[23:28] <ciacon> Slart: I'll go for that dreaded reboot ....
[23:28] <linux88> How can you REALLY protect your computer form someone going on to it with a live cd. I mean how can you stop that?
[23:28] <Do``> Pelo: kthx
[23:28] <saeros> ok
[23:28] <Nimby> it says that modprobe.conf in is in /etc/modprobe.conf but I cannot find it anywhere
[23:28] <rbs-tito> andi5: Sounds logical, but doesn't explain the steppings in Microsoft OS.
[23:28] <sauvin> troseph, you need to install something, forgot what it was, and navigate to /usr/share/something to run an sh to actually install libdvdcss.
[23:28] <Slart> ciacon: what's the worst that can happen.. no sound again? you're used to that =)
[23:28] <mpeters> Bruno_: in /etc/ssh/sshd_config -  "PermitRootLogin no"
[23:29] <troseph> sauvin, I'm getting it from the Medibuntu repo, it "should" work. :)
[23:29] <andi5> rbs-tito: oh, i think you can tweak even an XP system to make more mem accessible... but i do not use that a lot (only 2gb anyway)
[23:29] <Slart> linux88: sleep next to it.. use a shotgun =).. or encrypt the harddrives and keep the shotgun to keep them from kidnapping you
[23:29] <rbs-tito> andi5: Meh, not sure, I'm sure I read that they were artificial limits
[23:29]  * sauvin is also looking at acidrip
[23:30] <rbs-tito> andi5: I'll let you know when I can afford 4gb of RAM
[23:30] <gregarei> linux88: No way. Put sensitive data on an encrypted fs
[23:30] <mpeters> Bruno_: for ke authentication follow - http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/excerpt/ssh_8/index.html
[23:30] <andi5> rbs-tito: all right =)
[23:30] <sauvin> What DVD do I have here that I was unable to play normally....?
[23:30] <D4rkB34n> DeviantSolution: how can i do it automatically?
[23:30] <linux88> Slart haha good one. Thats true, but when you say encrypt the harddrive. Do you have to decrypt it everytime you want to access it.
[23:30] <RequinB4> I read vista only takes 2GB RAM
[23:30] <D4rkB34n> DeviantSolution: i mean, fresh the menu automatically?
[23:30] <andi5> to boot at all?
[23:30] <Pelo> sauvin, we won't tell you,  you need to keep track of your stuff on your own
[23:30] <Nimby> vista is making me feel ill :)
[23:30] <rbs-tito> linux88: The hard drive is decrypted when it is mounted at boot. You need the key every time you boot
[23:31] <gregarei> linux88: You dont need to encrpyt whole HD.  you can encrypt just folders with fuse, just requires passphrase to unlock
[23:31] <Nimby> thats why I'm here in the rabbit hole
[23:31] <Radi01> vista is adjar.
[23:31] <sauvin> Pelo, if I get irritated enough, I'll POSTGRESQL it!
[23:31]  * troseph puts his sensitive data in /var/www
[23:31] <rbs-tito> linux88: Ah, fuse, sorry
[23:31] <ciacon> Slart: It is crying for a reinstall =((
[23:31] <Slart> linux88: well.. yes.. but you can have it just prompt you for a password when you log in.. and do the decrypting on the fly
[23:31] <mpeters> Bruno_: actually this link is probably easier to follow - http://sial.org/howto/openssh/publickey-auth/
[23:31] <YouKnowMe> I'm trying to install an assortment of things but bash keeps telling me:
[23:31] <YouKnowMe> Media change: please insert the disc labeled
[23:31] <YouKnowMe>  'Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)'
[23:31] <YouKnowMe> in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter
[23:31] <YouKnowMe> Most times it wont ask but it is this time and I can't find my cd, plus I don't wanna have to burn a new one. WHat can I do to bypass this?
[23:31] <gregarei> Encryptiing hd is a solution, it is A LOT of overhead
[23:31] <Slart> ciacon: reinstall? any specific error messages?
[23:31] <Bruno_> mpeters: if i disabled root login i dont have to change my rot passwd to a stronger one?
[23:31] <rbs-tito> !paste | youknowme
[23:31] <ubotu> youknowme: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[23:31] <linux88> rbs-tito i see. Ive used a program I downlaoded when i was on XP. Does it take something liek that for linux
[23:31] <ciacon> Slart: still no change - I have the feeling, that that, what is missing is the Kernel-module, which was manipulated / switched / removed with that install...
[23:32] <completeN00b> Hi: I'm trying to install a new Soundblaster X-Fi sound card (sb0790), does anyone know where i should begin?
[23:32] <Bruno_> mpeters: ok i'll follow thse tuts
[23:32] <andi5> YouKnowMe: deactivate your cd set as package source, just download everything from the net
[23:32] <rbs-tito> linux88: Sorry, all I know about is encrypting whole volume
[23:32] <Pelo> YouKnowMe,   menu > sytem> admin> software sources,  first tab , uncheck the cd at the bottom , reload and install again
[23:32] <gregarei> completeN00b: opensource.creative.com
[23:32] <Slart> ciacon: does a live cd give you working sound?
[23:32] <mpeters> Bruno_: It still should be strong as a user could su to root, but it's not as important
[23:32] <Bruno_> ok
[23:32] <ciacon> Slart: sure - the original sys also gave me sound...
[23:32] <YouKnowMe> rbs-tito: Because I've never been here and I don't know the rules. I'm a loose cannon.
[23:32] <YouKnowMe> /sarcasm
[23:32] <completeN00b> gregarei: thanks, is it true that they only have drivers for 64 bit?
[23:32] <andi5> Pelo: there is no sytem menu, ha! ;-)
[23:33] <Pelo> !sound > completeN00b check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[23:33] <sauvin> Hrm... acidrip certainly does make the drive knock a bit.
[23:33] <Slart> ciacon: then perhaps a reinstall is the easiest way to go
[23:33] <sauvin> I HAD been using a Windows thing under wine, hope this works.
[23:33] <ubuntu_> Hello! I'm installing Ubuntu right now. I have a disk with 4 partitions: 1 is for Windows, 1 is a backup partition I created a long time ago. 1 is one that I hope I can use for Ubuntu, and I want to have another backup partition. I'm formatting the Ubuntu partition in ext3 with mount point "/", and I want the new backup partition to be fat32. Do I need to put anything special for the mount point for the backup?
[23:33] <Bruno_> mpeters: anything else i can do to have more security?
[23:33] <nikin_> hy
[23:33] <Bruno_> mpeters: regarding sshd
[23:33] <rbs-tito> YouKnowMe: Don't worry about it, the ubotu warnings are just to let you know. Nobody will hold it against you :)
[23:33] <gregarei> completeN00b: Not sure, it will certainly say there
[23:33] <Pelo> andi5,  is he running kubuntu ?
[23:33] <jadoman> salut à tous, je fais un essais car c'est la première fois que je chatte
[23:33] <andi5> Pelo: i have no clue, was just a bad joke... please ignore me :)
[23:34] <Slart> ubuntu_: don't think so.. I think ubuntu will even add it to fstab automagically.. not sure about it though
[23:34] <Slart> !fr | jadoman
[23:34] <ubotu> jadoman: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[23:34] <Pelo>  /ignore andi5
[23:34] <ciacon> Slart: I was as clever  (  ;-)   ) as to put my old home dir on a seperate partition - after the fresh install - are all my old KDE settings & still there?? it'd be a shame to loose stuff like my contactslist in kopete...
[23:34] <ubuntu_> Slart: Alright :) The main thing is that I want this partition to be accessable in Windows, too. I assume fat32 will do that?
[23:34] <Slart> ubuntu_: yes
[23:34] <YouKnowMe> Pelo: Thanks!
[23:34] <Nimby> can I set xchat to let me know if I get a msg even when it doesnt have focus ?
[23:35] <YouKnowMe> y
[23:35] <mpeters> Bruno_: you can restrict logins to only certain users with "AllowUsers user1, user2" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Also the same with AllowHosts
[23:35] <sauvin> Acidrip isn't working. It just makes the drive make noise :\
[23:35] <Slart> ciacon: nice.. I don't know where KDE stores all it's settings but lots of stuff are in hidden, dot-folders, in your home folder... you might be so lucky.
[23:35] <YouDoNotKnowMe> YouKnowMe: !
[23:35] <ciacon> Slart: they are all in my home-dir...
[23:35] <Bruno_> mpeters: what should i change that to? his ip?
[23:35] <ciacon> Slart: ;-)
[23:35] <Slart> ciacon: you can always copy /etc to your home folder just to be sure
[23:35] <YouKnowMe> YouDoNotKnowMe: >_< ^_^
[23:36] <ciacon> Slart: that sounds like a great idea... ;-)
[23:36] <mpeters> Bruno_: yes, for connections from him to you.
[23:36] <ubuntu_> Slart: How much do I want to set aside for swap?
[23:36] <Slart> Nimby: yes.. mine beeps and pops up little things when I get messages
[23:36] <rbs-tito> ubuntu_: About 512mb or 1gb
[23:36] <nikin_> i have some problems with samba.. the loading of directory s and like... a right click on the file.. makes a teribble lagg i mean.. using fuesmb.. if i click right on a file.. it takes about 30 seconds to bring up the menu
[23:36] <Pelo> ubuntu_,   2xram
[23:36] <Slart> ubuntu_: my grand grand grand dad told me twice the physical memory.. but that might have changed since then =)
[23:36] <ubuntu_> Is there any benefit to setting aside a larger amount?
[23:37] <rbs-tito> ubuntu_: It is the memory used when you run out of RAM
[23:37] <bebbi> ragazzi funziona
[23:37] <Pelo> ubuntu_, not unless you run a butload of apps at the same time
[23:37] <rbs-tito> ubuntu_: If you have lots of RAM you won't need much
[23:37] <mpeters> ubuntu_: twice physical ram up to a max of 1Gb is a decent rule of thumb
[23:37] <sauvin> I've been told that recent distros just use a swap file if it can't find a swap partition.
[23:37] <andi5> but you need swap nonetheless, someone told me
[23:37] <rbs-tito> sauvin: Windows style?
[23:37] <Slart> ubuntu_: not really... up to 1G would be more than enough.. it will just get terribly slow if you need more swap
[23:38] <sauvin> rbs-tito, maybe. I don't know.
[23:38] <ciacon> Slart: I just thought of it - might be a brilliant idea to backup mysql ;-)
[23:38] <rbs-tito> sauvin: That would save a few people headaches, but a separate partition is better practise
[23:38] <Slart> ciacon: well.. the databases.. you don't need to backup the sql binaries.. =)
[23:38] <sauvin> rbs-tito, no argument on this end.
[23:38] <Bruno_> mpeters: i cant find the allow users part
[23:39] <Bruno_> mpeters: in fact i search for it in the file and its no there
[23:39] <ubuntu_> Do I set my backup partition as "primary" or "logical"?
[23:39] <mpeters> Bruno_: it won't be there by default, you can just add the line
[23:39] <MichealPW> Hrmm
[23:39] <electrofreak> I have a huge list of package that apparently are no longer required... but reading through it... I believe many are required. It tells me to run apt-get autoremove, but I'd pretty much rather not do that. How do I go about fixing this?
[23:39] <ciacon> Slart: I hadn't guessed ;-)
[23:39] <andi5> Bruno_: you may need to add a line to the file then... the manpage should tell you the expected format
[23:39] <Slart> ubuntu_: primary I'd think
[23:39] <electrofreak> *packages
[23:40] <Bruno_> mpeters: what do i type then?
[23:40] <Nimby> so many of the guides refer to "modprobe.conf" being in "/etc/modprobe.conf" but none tell you where it or it's equivalent is now :-(
[23:40] <Bruno_> andi5: ok i'll check
[23:40] <ubuntu_> Slart: I don't know what the terms mean :( I've set up the partition I'm installing Ubuntu onto as primary
[23:40] <mpeters> Bruno_: AllowUsers bruno
[23:40] <ciacon> Slart: I'd like to say thanks for my help - although it had a snag, you deffo were more helpful to me than the rest... thx
[23:40] <rbs-tito> ubuntu_: Primary
[23:40] <andi5> Nimby: just create a file named local in /etc/modprobe.d and enter the commands there
[23:40] <kane77> argh.. why does my desktop doesn't hibernate? the disk works for a while and then the display comes back on... it hibernated ok yesterday...
[23:41] <Slart> ubuntu_: primary partitions are single partitions, you can only have 4 per drive I think.. logical partitions can have more partitions inside so you can have more than 4 partitions
[23:41] <rbs-tito> kane77: Hibernation is a pretty dusty area
[23:41] <Slart> ciacon: you're welcome
[23:41] <ciacon> Slart: =)
[23:41] <kane77> rbs-tito, yeah, I know...
[23:41] <andi5> servers do not hibernate ;-)
[23:41] <rbs-tito> lol
[23:41] <kane77> andi5, how do you know? :)
[23:41] <rbs-tito> I don't use it myself, my laptop boots like lightning
[23:42] <Bruno_> mpeters: and i have to write AllowUsers alonso (my friend)?
[23:42] <Gnea> okay, stupid ALSA-related question: i have 2 sound cards and a TV-tuner in my desktop, but I want to be able to switch the default output device on the fly with a simple .asoundrc file for dmix.  XMMS can output to the device just fine directly, but alsaplayer won't do it, neither will aplay. i'm stumped...
[23:42] <andi5> kane77: at least i hope so :-)
[23:42] <mpeters> Bruno_: yes, on a line on its own.
[23:42] <Bruno_> mpeters: and the ip?
[23:42] <MasterWitt> I have a question. How do I make it where I don't have to input my password when I come back from a suspend mode?
[23:42] <kane77> rbs-tito, the suspend however works :/
[23:42] <Gnea> and the howtos that i'm finding aren't providing any help on that
[23:42] <rbs-tito> kane77: Yeah, but I bet resume doesn't!!
[23:42] <mpeters> Bruno_: AllowHosts 1.2.3.4
[23:42] <MichealPW> Should I create a password for root? Is it a good idea to use a user that has Administration permissions?:/
[23:42] <MichealPW> I'm use Ubuntu v7.10
[23:43] <kane77> rbs-tito, it does...
[23:43] <Bruno_> mpeters: ok
[23:43] <Radi01> My windows hibernated itself to the trash can.
[23:43] <ignoramus> hey all- running kde with knetworkmanager... it won't auto-connect, but after 2 or 3 tries of manually connecting, it finally does.  WTF?
[23:43] <Bruno_> mpeters: thanks
[23:43] <Gnea> MichealPW: just use sudo
[23:43] <Slart> !sudo | MichealPW
[23:43] <ubotu> MichealPW: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[23:43] <ExalleR> I have an internal HDD, how do I access it?
[23:43] <digitalsky> Hi all. has anyone experienced this problem?
[23:43] <Pelo> MichealPW, there isn'T an actual root in ubuntu,  only super user priviledge
[23:43] <kane77> rbs-tito, but for night I like hibernate better.. in case the power's out..
[23:43] <rbs-tito> kane77: Then you are a very lucky person
[23:43] <Pelo> !root | MichealPW
[23:43] <ubotu> MichealPW: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[23:43] <Gnea> ExalleR: Places->Computer
[23:43] <MasterWitt> How do I take the password off from when I come back from suspend mode?
[23:43] <MichealPW> Gnea: In order for sudo to work, your user must have the Administration permissions correct?
[23:43] <kane77> rbs-tito, yeah.. i haven
[23:43] <Nimby> andi5 there is a file in there called options, could I added the required lines to that ?
[23:44] <Slart> MichealPW: nope.. read the links ubotu told you
[23:44] <andi5> Nimby: you might, but you can also create an own file (eases upgrades)
[23:44] <macksting> Hiya. Trying to get Ubuntu 7.04 to work with my Nvidia card so's I can use OpenGL effectively. I'm being told to grab nvidia-glx from the package manager. On the offchance that something disagrees with my system, is there a way to back up my current configuration so's I can restore it?
[23:44] <kane77> rbs-tito, yeah.. i haven't managed to make it work on laptop though... (wher it would be very useful)
[23:44] <Pelo> digitalsky, what problem ?
[23:44] <Gnea> MichealPW: no, they just need to be allowed to use it, which it is by default. check the link that ubotu gave ya
[23:44] <MichealPW> Alright then.
[23:44] <Slart> MichealPW: you write in your user password when sudo asks you
[23:44] <macksting> Note, actually, a way to back it up without a CD writing device?
[23:44] <Nimby> andi5 and just called it local ?
[23:44] <digitalsky> I put an NTFS drive and mounted it in ubuntu, and i use samba to share it so I can access it from my XP boxes.  But after a few days when I turn on my XP, it would say fail to connect to the shared drive.  I would then restart ubuntu and the sharing is good again.
[23:44] <MasterWitt> Anybody?
[23:44] <andi5> Nimby: yep, but any other name is ok as well
[23:44] <ToddEDM> anyone know of some firmware i need to get a linksys WMP54g Wifi card working?....
[23:44] <MichealPW> Gnea: Would allowing users access to sudo be a risk?:/
[23:44] <Pelo> !backup | macksting
[23:44] <ubotu> macksting: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[23:44] <Nimby> thanks andi5
[23:45] <Pelo> MasterWitt, anybody what ?
[23:45] <Slart> digitalsky: you could try just restarting samba, "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart"
[23:45] <drmikecrowe> hey folks, I need somehelp.  Trying to install (and giving up) gforge.  I now need to re-install postgresql 8.2.  However, installing isn't creating /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.2
[23:45] <electrofreak> I have a huge list of packages that apparently are no longer required... but reading through it... I believe many are required. It tells me to run apt-get autoremove, but I'd pretty much rather not do that. How do I go about fixing this?

[23:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs-g3 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[23:45] <digitalsky> Slart: ok... but is that a known problem?
[23:45] <Gnea> !ntfs-3g | digitalsky
[23:45] <ubotu> digitalsky: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions

[23:46] <ToddEDM> anyone know of some firmware i need to get a linksys WMP54g Wifi card working?....
[23:46] <tyronepolleri> hi how can I refresh the wine Start Menu? because I have uninstalled some aplications but they still apear in the wine star menu
[23:46] <Pelo> !wifi | ToddEDM
[23:46] <ubotu> ToddEDM: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[23:46] <rbs-tito> ToddEDM: Depends what chip is in it
[23:46] <MasterWitt> joeb3: It is unchecked. But it still prompts me for a password when I come back from suspend mode
[23:47] <digitalsky> yea i'm sure that would probably work, but then I want to find out what is wrong that it would stop working all of a sudden
[23:47] <MichealPW> Gnea: Thank you, I'll read it.
[23:47] <sauvin> digitalsky, whta's up, again, please?
[23:47] <Pelo> ToddEDM, also check in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[23:47] <Gnea> ToddEDM: i do believe that it's a broadcom chipset, you'd need the right driver for it
[23:47] <electrofreak> I have a huge list of packages that apparently are no longer required... but reading through it... I believe many are required. It tells me to run apt-get autoremove, but I'd pretty much rather not do that. How do I go about fixing this?
[23:47] <digitalsky> sauvin: I put an NTFS drive and mounted it in ubuntu, and i use samba to share it so I can access it from my XP boxes. But after a few days when I turn on my XP, it would say fail to connect to the shared drive. I would then restart ubuntu and the sharing is good again.
[23:47] <Slart> tyronepolleri: the wine start menu works a little now and then.. all of a sudden you get a bunch of new programs.. then nothing until 2 versions later..
[23:47] <rbs-tito> electrofreak: What makes you think they are rquired?
[23:47] <Slart> tyronepolleri: be happy when it works.. but don't expect it to work all the time =)
[23:47] <Gnea> digitalsky: TRY RESTARTING SAMBA INSTEAD OF RESTARTING
[23:47] <Pelo> electrofreak, what makes you think they are still needed
[23:47] <scragar> anyone got a recommendation on guides for bridging an Internet connection?
[23:47] <tyronepolleri> Slart: so the aplications will be there allways?
[23:48] <digitalsky> Gnea: yes yes. thanks for the suggestion of a solution.
[23:48] <Slart> digitalsky: check the logs.. samba and system logs.. there might be a reason there
[23:48] <digitalsky> I do, however, wnat to know the cause of the problem.
[23:48] <lapisdecor> I do force reload of all items on ubuntu panel?
[23:48] <digitalsky> ok Slart
[23:48] <electrofreak> rbs-tito, they are mostly gnome related... which I'd like to have installed
[23:48] <andi5> scragar: you mean vpn?
[23:48] <Pelo> scragar, what do you mean by bridging ?, sharing one computer's connection with another ?
[23:48] <Slart> tyronepolleri: yes.. the applications can always be run from the command line.. it's just the menu that's a bit moody
[23:48] <sauvin> Still... why is samba doing that?
[23:48] <rbs-tito> electrofreak: They are probably just pointless dependencies
[23:48] <Gnea> digitalsky: you might want to check your samba options - do you have SWAT installed?
[23:48] <scragar> Pelo: that's what I want to do
[23:48] <INTU> i have a dual boot... how do i format C from bios?
[23:48] <INTU> format the c drive
[23:48] <tyronepolleri> Slart: Can I deactivate it?
[23:48] <Gnea> INTU: you don't
[23:48] <INTU> i need to reinstall XP
[23:49] <digitalsky> can you remind me what SWAT is again?
[23:49] <digitalsky> (probably not?)
[23:49] <Gnea> !swat
[23:49] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[23:49] <Slart> tyronepolleri: I don't know.. I've never looked into it.. there might be a switch somewhere in regedit
[23:49] <Pelo> scragar, I know there are some guides on this,  you'll probably need to use samba to do i it but that is all I know
[23:49] <INTU> i don't wanna just write over it, i want to format
[23:49] <Pelo> later folks
[23:49] <dfcarney> INTU: let the installer format it for you.  Be careful -- it'll overwrite your boot partition and linux will "disappear"
[23:49] <rbs-tito> INTU: I've never seen a BIOS that can format drives. You should use the Windows or Ubuntu live cd to do it
[23:49] <Gnea> INTU: fat32 or ntfs?
[23:49] <digitalsky> ok Gnea: reading
[23:49] <INTU> windows is on ntfs
[23:49] <dfcarney> INTU: do you want to re-install, or just blow it away?
[23:49] <andi5> scragar: is openvpn for you?  i do not really understand your plan :)
[23:50] <tyronepolleri> Does anyone know hot to deactivated  the wine Start Menu?
[23:50] <INTU> i want to format C, then install XP again on it
[23:50] <Nimby> so am I right in believing that instead of one modprobe.conf there is now a folder called modprobe.d with multiple config files in ?
[23:50] <Gnea> INTU: then you need to do it with a windows cd
[23:50] <andi5> yeap
[23:50] <scragar> I have 2 boxes, and 1 net connection, I just want to split it between the two.
[23:50] <INTU> should i delete the C partition, then install on unused space?
[23:50] <rbs-tito> scragar: Internet Connection Sharing is what you need
[23:50] <dfcarney> INTU: like Gnea said, with the windows CD.  Make sure you have a linux boot disk handy too
[23:50] <INTU> or should i just overwrite the C
[23:50] <Slart> tyronepolleri: perhaps that question is better asked in #winehq  they are the wine specialists after all
[23:51] <rbs-tito> !ics | scragar
[23:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ics - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:51] <Mozul> anyone want to private message me? I have a need to set a lot of files from read only to read/write
[23:51] <Frogzoo> Nimby: yes, but modprobe.conf is still read
[23:51] <Gnea> INTU: reinstallation requires rewriting the C
[23:51] <INTU> okay, thanks

[23:51] <ndcapo> is it possible to install winXP after ubuntu ?

[23:51] <Gnea> Mozul: actually...
[23:51] <andi5> Mozul: chmod g+w $PATH -R .... that sets a all files in $PATH writable for members of the group they belong to
[23:51] <Frogzoo> Nimby: make that '/etc/modules'
[23:51] <dfcarney> INTU: no, the windows installer will ask you where you want to install it.  if you're just overwriting it, then don't worry.  Like I said, reinstalling windows will screw around with the boot partition.
[23:52] <Gnea> Mozul: find /path -type f -exec chmod 666 {} \;

[23:55] <Frogzoo> ExalleR: take a look at cygwin - it's pretty ugly
[23:55] <lapisdecor> I do force reload of all applets on ubuntu top panel?
[23:55] <Slart> ExalleR: depends on the dependencies.. =) I think a standalone program can be recompiled for windows without problems.. but few programs are really standalone
[23:55] <Pir8> Is there a way to change the background that appears before the gdm login window comes up?
[23:56] <Slart> Pir8: you mean the nice light brown/orange thingy? not that I've heard of.. many people ask that question.. haven't seen a quick solution yet
[23:56] <andi5> Pir8: do you mean the gray X (i think default root window)?

[23:57] <MichealPW> So then, the user created during the installation should be my 'Admin' user, and the other users as least privileged users? I then use su to switch to the 'Admin' user?
[23:57] <Pir8> Frogzoo,  thanks mate.
[23:58] <Slart> MichealPW: why not just use sudo?
[23:58] <Pir8> also how do you get the Applications drop down menu to have the same type of animations as compiz ?
[23:58] <Bruno_> mpeters: when i restart ssh it says AllowHosts is misconfigured
[23:58] <Nimby> is there a way to take ownership of a drive that was windows vista so I can set folders for sharing etc ?
[23:58] <MichealPW> Slart: Wouldn't that mean you'd only need any user's password to gain superuser privileges?:/
[23:58] <Chewy954> Can someone help me with BMPx? I get a "gst-stream-error-quark / 1" error.....
[23:59] <Slart> MichealPW: well.. to be picky.. you need the user password for the user that runs the command.. but yes
[23:59] <andi5> Nimby: yes, specify user=$uid in /etc/fstab as mount option, where uid is your user id (id -u)
[23:59] <zloog420> Hi, I just got a new soundcard. Whats the install process like in general?
[23:59] <zloog420> do you do a kernel compile and then insmod the driver or what
[23:59] <zloog420> i cant remeber
[23:59] <MichealPW> Slart: Indeed, so, wouldn't that be a risk?:/
